With Kau Day quickly approaching this 19th Day of Relaxing, I decided it was time to sit down for an interview with a certain Striped Kau that seems to be mostly hidden from the public eye. We've all heard much about Kalora the Kau, of course. We've also spent a lot of time learning about the history of Kauvara, her Uncle Klum, and the rest of her long line of family members that have run our favorite Neopian Magic Shop. But who haven't we heard from? That would be Allita, Kauvara's sister. I was surprised to find out that many Neopians didn't even realize Kauvara had a sister! It was high time I found out more about this mysterious Kau. What follows is a short interview session we had recently to discover more about the life of Allita and just exactly what makes her tick!
Q: First things first: tell us a little about yourself, Allita. We rarely hear mention of the other Kau girl that comes from the most well-known family of magical shopkeepers in Neopia.
A: Well, there's not much to know, if I'm to be quite honest with you. I'm actually Kauvara's older sister by three years. Most Neopians tend to assume I'm her little sister. I guess they think being older means you should be the one that's smarter and achieves more. I suppose that's true of a lot of other siblings, but not with us. From a very young age, Kauvara was interested in the sciences, especially chemistry. Our parents got her a beginner chemistry set before she was even old enough to attend school. Me, on the other hand? I can't stand the thought of being stuck in a lab, experimenting with potions all day. I've always preferred being out in the fresh air. I got average grades in school, but I definitely remember having trouble paying attention in class because I was always too distracted by what was happening outside. As a child, I spent most of my free time hiking and exploring the forests near our house. I was lonely much of the time because I could never convince Kauvara to come outside and play, but she would never convince me to join her in the lab no matter how hard she tried.
Q: Wow, you two seem like polar opposites. Did your parents ever ask you to run the Magic Shop in Neopia Central?
A: No, they never bothered. They went straight to Kauvara when the time came for them to retire. If they had asked me, I would've turned it down, but I have to admit it hurt my feelings that they didn't even ask, you know what I mean? I at least wanted the option to be available. But they obviously thought I didn't have enough business sense to run the shop, because when Kauvara turned them down, they hired on that wretched Tyrannian Kyrii, Raygar.
Q: Was that the shopkeeper that was selling bunk items?
A: Yes! And before the customers figured it out, I already knew. I was keeping an eye on him. I didn't trust him from the very beginning. Kauvara was away at the tower of the Light Faerie, studying potion making, and my parents were taking long vacations since they finally had the time to. I was the only family member keeping watch on Raygar and the shop.
Q: After they fired him, did you ask your parents for the position?
A: I did. I had been the one to uncover Raygar's dirty secret and I warned our customers of his dishonest dealings. My parents still turned me down. I believe they thought Kauvara would be the better option because she was already being recognized as one of the premier potion makers in Neopia by that time, even though she was still in training. Our customers would be more comfortable buying from a shopkeeper that had so much firsthand knowledge of magic. I think they made the right decision in that sense.
Q: Are you not bothered by the fact that they didn't even consider you, even after you proved so useful in getting rid of Raygar?
A: I've thought about this a lot, and I have to say: no, I'm not bothered by it anymore. I think my parents know me better than I know myself, sometimes. They realized that even if I could handle being a shopkeeper, I never would have enjoyed the role. Like I said before, I'm not a fan of being cooped up inside all the time.
Q: Do you have any hand in what goes on at the Magic Shop these days?
A: I actually spend a lot of time on Roo Island. Kauvara needs arbiter berries picked very frequently so she can make her famous strengthening and healing potion. Most of the time I make these trips by myself because she is too busy to leave the shop. There are those rare times when she is able to tag along and help me. I wish it happened more often. I do love spending time with my sister, even if we don't have much in common! And obviously berry picking allows me to spend as much time outside as I want. When Kauvara can't come with me, sometimes I'm able to get King Roo to join, when he gets tired of playing Dice-A-Roo.
Q: Just one more question for you, Allita. I've noticed your sister seems to release a brand new potion each time we celebrate Kau Day. If you could have her invent any potion you could imagine, what would it do?
A: Sometimes I really wish magic and potions didn't exist. There is so much more to life than that. Hmmm, I guess that's my answer then, if I have to give a real answer to this question. I wish Kauvara could invent a potion that would replicate her. So we could have one Kauvara to run the Magic Shop and one Kauvara to spend time with her older sister, exploring the world together. That's really what I'm missing out on.

Q: Accessing java Maps & Lists as JavaScript Objects in Rhino Is there a way to access Java Maps and Lists as JavaScript Objects in Rhino?
I have a Map which contains only other maps and lists of primitives and Strings, I'd like to pass this to a Rhino script and do stuff to it, and return the modified object back out to Java - but since they are java.util.Map and java.util.List Objects, I can't use standard JavaScript associative array syntax.
ie: fooMap.get("keyName") will work, but fooMap.keyName and fooMap["keyName"] will not.
I don't know if there is a Rhino-specific way to do this, or if there is some conversion/cast utility that will help.
Commons BeanUtils is not sufficient, because to convert a Map to a bean (which can be accessed via associative array syntax), you must first create a class which has all of the named mutators/accessors.  I won't know the structure of the object at runtime.

A: Take a look at RingoJS. It has convenient wrappers for list and map for Rhino such as this one

A: iterators seem to be the key!
if you want to iterate over all entries of a map, you could do the following
JAVA
//pass  the map and map.keySet().iterator() to the javascript
Object wrappedParameterMap = Context.javaToJS(parameterMap, scope);
ScriptableObject.putProperty(scope, "parameterMap", wrappedParameterMap);
Object wrappedParameterNames = Context.javaToJS(parameterMap.keySet().iterator(), scope);
ScriptableObject.putProperty(scope, "parameterNames", wrappedParameterNames);

JAVASCRIPT
while(parameterNames.hasNext()) {
  key = parameterNames.next();
  value = parameterMap.get(key);
}

A: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/New_in_Rhino_1.7R3#JS.c2.a0Objects_implement_Java_collections claims that JS objects resp. arrays can now be cast to Map resp. List, but this does not seem like it would work for your use case.

A: I had a similar problem that may be useful.  I tried created native rhino objects and copied data into them.

A: Since Rhino 1.7.12 you can create ES6 lambdas and therefore create your own utility function like this:
function iterateMap(map, callback) {
    var iter = map.keySet().iterator();
    while(iter.hasNext()) {
        var key = iter.next();
        var value = map.get(key);
        callback(key, value);
    }
}

And then iterate like this
iterateMap(map, (key, value)=>{
    //...
});

A: The way to achieve this since Rhino 1.7.14 is to enable Context.FEATURE_ENABLE_JAVA_MAP_ACCESS.
This requires implementing a custom ContextFactory:
public class MyContextFactory extends ContextFactory {
    @Override
    protected boolean hasFeature(Context cx, int featureIndex) {
        switch (featureIndex) {
            case Context.FEATURE_ENABLE_JAVA_MAP_ACCESS:
                return true;
        }
        return super.hasFeature(cx, featureIndex);
    }
}

Then, this factory can be used to instantiate contexts that has this feature enabled:
Map<String, String> myMap = Map.of("message", "Hello from JavaScript");

ContextFactory ctxFactory = new MyContextFactory();
try (Context ctx = ctxFactory.enterContext()) {
    Scriptable scope = ctx.initSafeStandardObjects();
    ScriptableObject.putProperty(scope, "myMap", Context.javaToJS(myMap, scope));

    // Now map properties are accessible via `[key]` or `.key`:
    Object result = ctx.evaluateString(scope, "myMap.message", "<sample>", 1, null);
    String message = Context.jsToJava(result, String.class);
    System.out.println(message); // prints "Hello from JavaScript"
}

1. When I am logged into Google Maps, why do you sometimes show me my reviews in a box, set apart from the rest of the reviews, and why do you sometimes not?
2. Could you please develop a different error message for times when your system is malfunctioning. I really get tired of seeing the 'we do not support that location' error of a business when, yes, it is very much supported by you, listed, and often even owner-claimed. I feel like this error message is shown for a ton of different bugs that have nothing to do with you not having a business listed. I encounter it constantly.
3. Why, if I want to edit a review, can I not change the stars and the content of the review at the same time? Or, at least, sometimes I can't. Suppose I had a bad experience at restaurant, but then had a good one and wanted to update my review copy and the stars I'd initially given. It only makes sense to let me do this all at once, rather than making me change the text, see that my change of stars is not being reflected, and then have to go back to try to alter the stars a second time.
4. What about that 'was this review helpful' feature? What is this supposed to be for? Is it a pat on the back for me, the reviewer? I think the language of it is confusing. Does it mean, if I see 2 People Out Of 2 People Found This Review Helpful that only 2 people have ever read my review, that 2 people have checked the helpful box, that 2 people have checked the helpful box but 10 of them who have read my review found it unhelpful and chose that option? Do helpful review marks take away unhelpful votes? Do they counteract each other? Do you realize that I can mark my own reviews as helpful? If I do this enough times (theoretically speaking, of course) will you suspend my account? Is this metric supposed to help the reviewer or the person looking for reviews? Like several of the features in Maps, this one is vague.
5. Why do my Maps-based reviews sometimes disappear? They are just gone. Then they show up again.
6. Why do I sometimes encounter listings or Place Pages that won't let me leave a review for them or add to their content in any way? What causes this?
7. Call me funny, but sometimes I like to log into my profile and look back through the growing library of reviews I've left. Why do I sometimes encounter a bug that simply will not take me to my reviews when I click on the See All Reviews link?
8. I've saved my favorite for last, because it's something I've been asking Google for multiple years now. Why, why, why do you often not count Maps-based reviews in the review total number shown in the highest levels of Maps data? You include Dine.com, you include CitySearch, you include Yahoo. Why do you treat your own users, who are making a special effort to use Google's review app to leave their reviews, with the least respect in this matter? This will continue to be my top Google Maps pet peeve.
The overall question, which I haven't included in my list of 8 gripes, is why is Google Maps so bug ridden? We're just talking about little inconsistencies and annoyances with the review portion of Maps. I dare not include the list of bugs within Maps on the whole or this post would have to have been entitled '8 Billion Little Gripes With Google Maps'. Add to that 3,632 more gripes if all of the citizens of Rogers, MN. pipe up about the fact that their entire town has gone missing in Maps. No, there are just too many mistakes, errors and oddities for me to handle. What I want to know is - are there too many of them for Google to handle? Is the reason there are bugs and problems at every level of Maps that Google bit off way more than they could chew getting into this whole Local/Mapping thing? It feels like that to me, sometimes.
And, the strongest feeling I come away from Maps with is that it's neglected and erratic. Unsupported by customer service, remote and confusing, filled with poorly-understood features and riddled with inconsistent performance, the apps that are Maps just do not function professionally too much of the time. Perhaps you've noticed other review-oriented problems that have come to irritate you over time - please feel free to list them in the comments! Google should be seeking and listening to real user feedback. Dear Google, I only gripe because I care...I think Maps has, possibly, the highest potential to be a useful Internet resource of anything published on the web. But not without some more loving care from you. Come on, now. Doesn't Maps deserve this? I think so.
I ranked on the 1st page of google maps. I work from home and recently moved homes +-1km away and got a land line. So being a good citizen changed my mobile no to the land line no. BIG MISTAKE. The number had to be verified and my site has moved off the Radar. Moral of the story DONT FIX what AINT BROKE!!!!!!!


When you're abroad, you tend to miss things from back at home. Sometimes, these are the things you thought you would miss, so there's no surprise when you whip out the comfort food and have a good sob fest. Other times, you miss things you never even thought were things that warranted missing. Here are ten things you miss when you're abroad.
Bought for your sixteenth birthday – cause your parents couldn't be bothered driving you to your BFF Macie's house every afternoon – there was more to that banged up box on wheels than just somewhere to store your shoe collection. It was a gleaming symbol of freedom. The freedom to choose where you wanted to go and the freedom to be in whatever state of dress (or undress – because no one knows if you're not wearing pants) you desired. It's no wonder you sometimes get a little misty-eyed when you're crammed onto public transport.
Asking the shop attendant to repeat what they've said to you in Spanish for a THIRD time can leave you feeling like a broken record. In those brief moments, you can start to pine for the days when communication was more simple… and you knew how to ask for directions.
Even English-speaking people living in another English-speaking country will miss their home lingo from time to time. Cause sometimes it's too awks as an Australian to try and explain what you meant when you said you "went on a Maccas run in your tracky-dacks".
Though your buds tag you in a TONNE of funny cat memes and chat to you almost every waking minute, you still find yourself missing their goofy grins. It's totes understandable. When it comes to nights out and outfit planning, these guys know you best. If only they were still just down the street here in Dublin, too.
Exchange is going all well and good, except for one teensy problem. Your host country has never even heard of American Football, let alone praise-be-all gods that are (in your star struck opinion) the Philadelphia Eagles. You've got zero fellow supporters. Zero hype. And you have to live stream the footage instead of watching it with you mates at a local bar. Somehow, it just doesn't feel the same.
Remember all those times you dressed up Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman for Halloween? Well, it won't be happening this year. And that's not just because you spilt wine on it that one time. It's because your host country doesn't celebrate Halloween. Or Thanksgiving. Which leaves you stuck at home scrolling through everyone's holiday celebrations on Facebook, nibbling on your own roast turkey leg.
Though you love your new overseas setup, nothing quiet seems to beat the familiar comforts of your bedroom back home. The coconut-scented candles. The mismatched pillows. The crooked blinds that never quite seemed to block out the morning sunlight… It can be easy to miss that – especially since your old bedroom boasted a TV.
You only need to LOOK at a tuna casserole – aka your mum's signature dish – for that bottom lip to start quivering. And you've practically had to forbid yourself from walking on the same side of the street as owners walking their German Shepard's (the same breed as your pooch), least you start flooding the streets with your tears. Homesickness one; independence nil.
If you've known upon leaving home that there would be no pop-tarts in France, then you've packed a whole suitcase FULL of the sugar-filled goodness. Alas, you were caught unawares. As it is, you're stuck sucking sugar cubes.
Spotting an Australian in the middle of a European winter is simple. They're the ones wearing ten layers of winter clothing, reminiscing through chattering teeth the days when "cold" was anything under 18°C. They're also the ones glaring up at the unrelenting blanket of greyish-coloured clouds, praying for a sunny, blue-skied miracle.
It's weird. Three months ago, you couldn't wait to get out of that place. It smelt like disinfectant, the customers ran you in circles and the inspirational cat poster in the break room just made you downright uncomfortable. But now you find yourself pondering the good ol' days when you had that kooky old job. At least then you were earning money.

Black Stone Cherry Releases The Official Video For Their Single "Ringin' In My Head&#822
Black Stone Cherry has released a new video from their album from 2020 "Home Condition". You can get a copy here. You can read my review from then of the single Ringin' In My Head here. I still feel the same way about the song as I did back in 2020. I also feel the lyrics are more true today than then. This verse kind of sums that up;
"Brother, brother could you lend a hand I'm in a prison in my own land Enlist resistance with a peaceful heart Can't let these times tear us all apart"
That is some truth right there. The cool thing is the video they shot for this. You get the band playing in John Fred Young's family owned barn. The band usually rehearses there. It also shows a family of four living the words of the song. The mixture of the two with song are really well done. Check it out below.

Hi. I've recently purchased a suzuki dt55 longshaft outboard motor and had it serviced to find out it has low compression in one cylinder. I was told it wasn't worth doing. Any advice on saving it.
Maybe check for blown head gasket.
You can weld it up, but you need someone that knows how to weld aluminium .... epoxy will be a quick fix but won't last all that long ... the 2 bolts that are sticking out you can remove with alot of heat and patients .... the other 2 you will have to drill out and re-tap .... to post pics you have to reply "go advance" and then manage attachments to upload you rpic.

Q: adding node port to an exciting istio service I created a local kubernetes cluster with a master and 2 workers using VM(ubuntu 16.04)
I am also using calico for networking and I am exploring istio for the moment.
my problem is the ingress load balancer doesn't get an external IP. to my understanding I should use a node port to access the ingress load balancer but I can find how to do so.
should I have done it when installing, can I add it now and how?
kubernetes version :  v1.11.1
calico version : v3.1
istio version : 0.8.0

A: If don't have a service attached to your deployment, you can use kubectl expose:
kubectl expose deployment istio --type=NodePort --name=istio-service

If you already deployed a service, you can edit the service spec and add type: "NodePort" the quickest way to do this is using kubectl patch:
kubectl patch svc istio-service -p '{"spec":{"type":"NodePort"}}'

More info about NodePort services can be found here

New Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Faces Rising Incivility And Anger At City Hall
By Amelia Templeton (OPB)
Portland, Oregon Jan. 4, 2017 12:36 a.m.
Like his predecessors, former Mayor Charlie Hales started every Portland City Council meeting with a reminder about the rules: Anyone can sign up to speak to the council. Keep things PG. No cursing. Don't interrupt. And don't applaud or boo.
"If you agree with someone's point of view and you want to show support, it's OK of you want to give them a wave of the hand or thumbs up," Hales told the crowd.
But almost every week, those rules were broken, and Hales ended up kicking someone out. Often, it was guy named Joe Walsh. Walsh had a habit of yelling at Hales when he disagreed with something the council was doing. Hales would usually attempt to reason with Walsh, but occasionally ended up recessing the meeting and ordering Walsh out.
"I grew up in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York," said Walsh, a former U.S. Navy engineer and union shop steward. "So I've been a fighter all my life."
Walsh's voice is strained because of medication he's on for emphysema and asbestosis. He carries a little silver oxygen tank on wheels with him.
Still, he's been to almost every Portland City Council meeting over the past 10 years, usually wearing a homemade T-shirt that features pictures of the council members and a disapproving slogan.

He's quick to point out that he isn't kicked out of every meeting. Just lots of them. He also notes that he's outlasted the last three Portland mayors — that's Hales, Sam Adams and Tom Potter — each of whom served just one term.
"All I have to do is stand up, and the entire city council recesses," Walsh said. "You talk about having power, that's a lot of power."
Walsh and Hales had a particularly explosive relationship. Walsh says it's because Hales was a bad mayor. Hales has another theory: He thinks Walsh and other activists couldn't stand him, at least in part, because he's a silver-haired white guy in a suit — "The Man."
"Maybe I look a little bit like corporate America," Hales said, "even though I'm pretty far from corporate America in my philosophy."
After Walsh made a practice of interrupting him, Mayor Hales ordered him excluded from the council's hearings for a month, and then for two months.
Walsh responded by suing the city in federal court. He argued that that being excluded on the basis of his past behavior violated his constitutional right to free speech. He represented himself. His wife sat next to him at the defense attorney's table because he didn't have a lawyer.
"She sat down, and said, 'What do I do?'" Walsh said. "And I said, 'Just shuffle papers. That's what second chairs do.'"
Walsh won.
"Against two city attorneys who make over 100 grand a year," he said. "And I kicked their butt."
The federal judge ruled that the mayor can only exclude people from the meeting they are disrupting. The next week, the council has to let them back in again. With such limited consequences for disruptive behavior, council meetings have taken on the feeling of an assembly at a rowdy middle school.

At a hearing in December, a man who gave his name as Kernel Moses signed up to testify about Portland's homeless problem. Almost immediately, his testimony took on a darker tone. He yelled at Commissioner Dan Saltzman, who is Jewish, about a day last fall when protesters were kicked out of City Hall by the police.
"I'm coming after you Mr. Saltzman," Moses said. "Where were you on Oct. 12, huh? Hiding out in your synagogue?"
Members of the council worry that the frequent disruptions, profanity and personal attacks will keep the public from wanting to participate in local government.
"It wasn't civil," said Don MacOdrum, who runs the Home Performance Guild of Oregon.
He attended his first Portland City Council meeting in December to testify about home energy ratings. MacOdrum says some of the things he heard, including those comments about Commissioner Saltzman's religion, made him deeply uncomfortable.
Related: Portland Mayor-Elect Says He'll Shield Immigrants From Deportation
"I don't know that it was overt," he said. "But there was just a violent quality to it."
MacOdrum says while he was disturbed, it won't keep him from speaking up at city council. He thinks the only way the situation will improve is if more ordinary people attend council meetings and testify.
Commissioner Amanda Fritz worked as a psychiatric nurse before she was elected to office.
"Some of the stuff that's been happening in council chambers just would not be tolerated inside a psychiatric hospital," she said.
But Fritz is optimistic that with a new administration taking office this week, things will quiet down a little.
"You hope there's a honeymoon at least for Mayor Wheeler, so he doesn't have to start dealing with it immediately," she said.
For his part, Walsh, the activist who's outlasted all the mayors, says he's willing to give Mayor Wheeler a grace period. Maybe six months.

Throwback Thursday: Radiohead, Alabama Shakes, Nathaniel Rateliff
By Ben Rosner | May 5, 2016 | 3:00pm
Music Video Radiohead
Radiohead: Live at Tramps, 1995
Radiohead is considered to be one of the great prog/art rock groups of all time. With the recent hubbub surrounding the release of their newest single "Burn The Witch" and the accompanying video, we decided to revisit this vintage concert recording from 1995. The concert was a magical experience, with the majority of the songs coming from their critically acclaimed work The Bends as well as their less impactful release, Pablo Honey.
While this is an earlier show for the alt-rock titans, many of the songs played here are considered staples of their repertoire, such as "High and Dry," "Just," "Fake Plastic Trees," "Creep," and "My Iron Lung." The performance of "Just" near the beginning of the show is a particular standout, with the track feeling much more galvanized than the studio version. Guitarist Johnny Greenwood's power chords are in full force throughout during the show, and frontman Thom Yorke's eerie, mysterious and emotional vocals show why this British band has become such a phenomenon in live music.
It is easy to see why many industry aficionados are anticipating that Radiohead will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next year, in their inaugural year of eligibility. With a sound that differed immensely from most alternative rock of the '90s, they helped pave the way for a lot of the more progressive indie bands dominating the airwaves as of late. Here's hoping that their performances this summer at festivals like Lollapalooza, Osheaga and Outside Lands will be as impressive as this show. With an immense fan base and the music video for "Burn The Witch" eclipsing more than a million views in well under 24 hours, it would be hard to see Radiohead performing any less than their best on tour this summer.
Alabama Shakes: Live at the Paste Magazine Offices, 2010
Alabama Shakes have been one of the few great indie-blues-rock success stories of the past four or five years. Similar to what The White Stripes accomplished for blues-rock in the early aughts, Alabama Shakes have been passed the torch for the 2010s. Formed in 2009, the ensemble has become virtually unknown to major music festival sub headliner, all in the span of less than a decade. This footage, recorded from our office in Decatur, Georgia in 2010 shows the band during their early stages. Led by frontwoman Brittany Howard and her immense vocals and guitar skills, Alabama Shakes prove their mettle in this intense, five song session.
It's important to note that this session was filmed well before the release of their debut album. Therefore, many of the songs featured, such as "Heavy Chevy" and "Be Mine" show the band at their most raw. Many comparisons can be made of this band to '60s psych rock groups like Big Brother and The Holding Company. In fact, Brittany Howard's singing is remarkably similar to the late Janis Joplin. The finale of the session, "Heavy Chevy," proves that Howard and her outfit are exceptional instrumentalists as well. With such a rare and effervescent sound, it's no surprise to anyone that Alabama Shakes were destined to blow up. Currently scheduled to appear at large scale events like Panorama and Sasquatch, expect them to remain a festival favorite for a long while. This set should whet even the most resilient blues-rock fan's appetite.
Nathaniel Rateliff: Live at Aloft Broomfield, 2013
Nathaniel Rateliff is best known as the front man for the successful soul/R&B group, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats. In this session recorded live on September 12, 2013 from the Aloft Hotel in Broomfield, Colorado, he gets to show the soulful side he's known for, as well as a more mellowed-out folk rock sound. The unique blend of these two distinct musical temperatures makes for an exceptional performance by Rateliff, as well as giving the opportunity for listeners to experience his music in a slightly different manner and setting than they are accustomed to.
On the opening track of this session "Don't Get Too Close," Rateliff doesn't hesitate in showing what he's capable of (check out the video recording of this track right here). This is a powerful way to start this acoustic session, and from the very first note, he doesn't let the listener go. The stripped-down approach to this session is very definite. The tactic feels very minimal, and proves that truly great music can be made with just vocals and an acoustic guitar.
On other songs, such as the hauntingly beautiful "When Do You See," Rateliff seems to tell anecdotes using the metaphorical lens of his songwriting ability. "When Do You See" gives the listener the feeling of being in a cozy coffee shop on a cold winter's day; this kind of warmth is pervasive throughout the middle portion of the footage.
Markedly, none of these tracks feel hasty or gaudy. Rateliff's performing technique in this session emphasizes gradualism and subtlety. This provides for a much stronger prominence on the mood of the performance. For example, on the song "Still Trying," one feels the pain and suffering that the song is portraying, particularly when Rateliff hits the refrain "This wound is going to cancel me out." The control of this particular track is the pre-climax of the session, similar to the feeling one gets just before a roller coaster hits the first drop.
By the last weapon in Rateliff's arsenal "Nothing to Show For" the sentiment of the session is at a high, and he does not disappoint. At this point, the speed of the music is a little quicker and the energy of the music is felt vivaciously. As the deep and weighty effect of the session intensifies, the listener begins to wonder how Rateliff can top his performance of "Still Trying." Yet somehow he accomplishes his goal with triumph. The temperament of "Nothing to Show For" doesn't surrender its octopus-like grip on the listener until the final chord evaporates into silence. This is as true of verification as any of Rateliff's songwriting aptitude, and the spellbinding effect that a truly great entertainer can have on an audience.

Hobnobs boss warns biscuit prices are set to soar due to extra production costs
McVitie's the biscuit maker says that the price of many best-selling goodies are about to shoot up.
The treat company, owned by Pladis Global, said items like Jaffa cakes, Penguins and Hobnobs could rise by as much as 5%.
This is reportedly down to staff absences, more expensive ingredients and higher labour costs which have been passed on to customers.

The firm argues that the "humble chocolate digestive" would be less affected – phew!
Pladis's UK managing director, David Murray, said: "Omicron disruption, absenteeism, and the rising cost of business going forward present a big challenge for us.
"At the end of the day, like in many other categories, it will flow through to higher prices."
The firm – which also makes Go Ahead bars and Jacob's crackers – said that there had been a double digit percentage price hike on ingredients like cocoa beans, reports the BBC.
David continued: "We've dealt with substantial challenges in the past in the food industry – whether it's natural disasters, inflation in the economic crisis.
"It's the compression of the challenge, combined with the scale of some of them [that is different this time]."
Shortages of many items are causing supply issues across the board with everything from computer chips to cream cheese and building supplies being tricky to find.

Remote work boom spells doom for corporate inboxes: Slack CEO


I just couldn't leave this brown and white polka dot dress in the shop when I saw it (bought at the same time as the grey lace one in Whitby Scope, £4.95).
So the task for this dress became turning something very ordinary into something chic, with a hint of polo spectator.
I decided on a simple halter design (as I had plenty of material for ties) and started cutting.
Folding the piece in half, I measured myself waist to collarbone and cut straight up from the side seams until I hit that level (plus a wide seam allowance). Then turned 90 degrees along the new neckline. Luckily this was below the button opening at the centre back as the dress originally had a dropped waist.
From the remaining material, I cut some long strips to make into a tie.
It was simply a long thin tube turned inside out.
I cut the ends at 45 degrees because I thought it suggested ribbon.
To finish the ends of the tie, I just folded the raw ends in, pressed and topstitched.
To make armholes, I cut wedges out of the front and back.
After finishing the armhole edges (simply by turning under twice and topstitching) I folded the neck edges down in a wide hem to make a space for the tie.
I had to add extra holes to the belt as it was too big. This was my first time using eyelets! It's actually easier than I thought. You just mark where you want the hole, punch a hole there, insert the two pieces of the eyelet, place the assembly on the small round piece of metal, then bang the other punch down with a hammer. Et voila!
I cut the ends of the belt off into a point before sewing the material back on. In practice the end is slightly short, because I wanted to cut off all the existing eyelets, or it would have been a bit awkward. It works, though!
For our last full day in Majorca we drove up to Cap de Formentor on the other side of the island. The drive up there over the mountains and the views from the top are equally spectacular.
The dress somehow ended up at the perfect skirt length, though the top part is perhaps a little blousy. I tried tying the tie tighter, but the armholes were not long enough to let the neckline go much higher.
My only slight quibble is that the back is a little bunched up when worn, as I obviously adjust the waist size with the belt, and this makes the pleats fall a bit strangely at the back. But it's not a deal breaker.
We also walked around Alcudia – the old town – which is stunning! All the streets were decked out in white streamers which provided some shade as we were walking around. And the houses all have dark green shutters.
Most houses along the narrow streets had beautiful plants outside, adding to the atmosphere.
It looks beautiful! You made it beautiful! I like the extra bunching- just makes it a bit cooler!
Haha, thank you! Yes, it was dated, but so glad I managed to snap it up!
I absolutely love this. Who could resist that fabric with its movie connotations? Did you keep a strip of fabric to tie round your hat? Would that be naff? Anyway, your dress is very elegant and the setting is glorious.
Do you know what, when I made this I was originally intending to wear it for a wedding, and I even made a small hat with a brown polka dot ribbon trim to go with it. But I went with something else for the wedding so the hat got forgotten. Maybe I should dig it out!
Amazing transformation and I really don't think the bunching is an issue! Alcudia looks beautiful – especially with those streamers.
Thanks for reading, JaneyB! Alcudia is indeed a must-visit – maybe when the weather is a bit cooler!
Thanks Jules – I am quite pleased with it!
Thank you so much, horopito! Thanks for stopping by!
This dress is stunning! I'm always in awe of your transformations!
Thanks Teresa, I really appreciate your support!
Impressed – you made brown polyester chic! Particularly like the creativity in transforming the top part of the original dress. Inspired.
Hi Stephanie, you should try this! Such a simple transformation. Happy sewing!
Another clever refashion. The result is stunning!
Thank you so much for commenting, Hélène!
as soon as i saw the before, i knew what you were going to make! really lovely!
Stunning as ever… a shame about the bunching but it still looks great!
I have always loved brown with white polka dots! I really like what you refashioned!
Hi Aileen, polka dots are not usually my thing but I really liked this colourway too! Thanks for commenting!
I have to confess, I love polyester. It's brilliant to work with, does not fray, is incredibly easy to maintain, doesn't require ironing and higher quality polyester will last you ages.
Hi Kasia, I completely agree… Something being polyester definitely doesn't put me off! All polyesters are not created equal though – some have much better crease-resistant properties than others, and some certainly seem to be more breathable. Thanks for reading!
You know, I don't think that the top part is too blousy at all. I think it's a nice contrast to the pleats below it. Great job!
Thanks Nathalie – yes, the inspiration piece is so lovely!
Another super re-do, well done!!
I have forever and always loved that dress Julia wears to the Polo match. :-D Excellent salvage!
I LOVE this one! It is extremely flattering on you, and even better with the adorable hat!
Amazing, you are so creative, I buy clothes from charity shops that either fit or need minor alterations but having the imagination to create a totally different look is awesome.
Thanks Lynsey, so glad to hear you are working on your own charity shop finds! Happy sewing!
A brilliant transformation and you look very chic!
Ah, well now you know what to do! Thanks for commenting and happy sewing!
Not technically polka dots but same general idea: http://bit.ly/2bTRqNY I think it's very current. And I agree, the blousy-ness works for me, both in the front and back. Thumbs up!
I love polka dots! You look very fancy too :) I think it could also look very "summery" (is that a word? sorry, English is not my mother tongue) and spicy with with some brights accesories, for instance a green lime belt or something.
Hi Dolores, summery is indeed a word! Thanks for reading, I'm glad you liked the dress!
You really are amazing. That is one heck of a transformation!!! Fabulous.
Haha, thank you Lulu! This one was a lot of fun to make and wear!
I love brown and white together and polka dots, and Julia Roberts in that dress. So I find this irresistible. It is a clever make – I would have tried to recreate it but that would have been a nightmare. This is beautifully simple and manages to be understated and cool. Great work, as ever.
Oh I always loved this outfit in the film. I had something a little similar at the time as did my mum! I think you've done an amazing job and the bunching does not present an issue for me!
A dress on holiday is so much more stylish than the uniform of cut off shorts, vest top and flip flops, and if its one you' ve transformed yourself from a fat lady frock what could be better?
I totally agree, I'm much happier in summer dresses and sandals over sportswear on holiday as that fits with my usual style, but I guess most people just like to be comfortable when it's hot. Thanks for commenting!
Wow, you did a beautiful job. It certainly looks very "Pretty Woman" and you look lovely.
Thank you so much, Sandra! You are so kind to leave me a comment.
Very nice refashion, love polka dots too !
Thank you, Wendy! Polka dots are not normally my thing but I just couldn't resist this one.
As I'm new to blogging I have just come across your blog, and the transformation of this dress is incredible! Not sure I'd ever have the skills to do it myself though!!
Greetings from California! Your sewing of charity shop finds is fabulous! You are a very talented seamstress. I'm so glad to have found you through Fiona at Dairy of a Chain Stitcher's Indie Pattern Roundup. I can't wait to see more of your blog!
Just found your blog through an article in Simply Sewing by Rosie Martin. I love your ingenuity and imagination! I'm lucky to have a charity shop in my local town that often have an "everything for a £1" to make room for new stock. I have tons (not much of an exaggeration I assure you) of clothes made of gorgeous fabric or striking designs, sometimes luckily both, in my fabric stash just awaiting inspiration.

Need a go-to guide to Copenhagen?
Use a travel card such as the QANTAS card, it's the cheapest way to spend money, Copenhagen uses card for everything, very few places will take cash only but many are card only. I would also recommend having multiple cards in different places in cases one is lost or stolen. No need to open a Danish bank account it will be more of a struggle and it's super easy to just use your Australian bank card it will just charge you a few cents every time you make a purchase.
When you arrive in Copenhagen go to Central Station and talk to the people there about what is your best option for a transport card. I personally had 2, one monthly pass that required a passport photo and it would be a once a month payment for unlimited rides on all transport in Zone 1 and 2 but I also had a Rejsekort card which is kind of like a Go Card which I would use if I was going into Zone 3 and 4. Always make sure you pay for transport because the fines are huge!
Go for lunch in Sweden… literally it's like 50 minutes away!
The Danes are not rude just private, don't be offended if they seem like they are keeping to themselves but if you do need anything they are really lovely.
Make your room feel homely, take a trip to IKEA and get little things that will make you feel more at home.
PORTABLE CHARGERS!!!! They will save your life! Because it gets so cold your phone will freeze and just shut down so always have a charger with you.
If you would like to know more or have any questions at all no matter how long or small feel free to add me on Facebook and ask away! You are going to have the time of your life, trust me!

Q: Display record from database [codeigniter] I have a table named person that is displayed by id. This table has many columns and one column named product_id. And a second table product with the name of all products. Let say i have a product with a field name rice in table product, his id 4 is located in person table. When i display person table rows i want to display rice instead of his id.
<?php
public function person()
{
    $id= $this->uri->segment(3);
    $query = $this->model_person->get_persons($id);
    $data['all_persons'] =$query;
    $this->load->view('admin/view_person', $data);

}
?>

model get_person
public function get_persons($id)
{
    $this->db->select("*");
     $this->db->from('person');
     $this->db->where('id',$id);
     $query = $this->db->get();
    return $query->result();
 }

view_person.php
<?php foreach($all_persons as $p)
{
?>

        Person name
        <?=$p->name;?>

        Person affectation
        <?=$p->affectation;?>

        Product name
        <?=$p->id_product;?>

<?php
}
?>

A: To get such output, you need run join query in the model .
 public function get_persons($id)
    {
        $this->db->select("*");
         $this->db->from('person');
         $this->db->join('product', 'product.id= person.product_id');
         $this->db->where('person.id',$id);
         $query = $this->db->get();
        return $query->result();
     }

in view_person.php just print product_name instead of product_id

        Product name

Q: write AVI file from raw image I am reading a raw file which is having only 1's and 0's which i have saved from SurfaceFlinger into a character buffer and write to IplImage. Then I am trying to write it to a video file but cvWriteFrame() is returning 0.Can any one help where I am going wrong.
Below is my code.
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstring>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    FILE * pFile;
    long lSize;
    char * buffer;
    size_t result;

    pFile = fopen(argv[1], "rb");
    if (pFile == NULL) {
        fputs("File error", stderr);
        exit(1);
    }

    // obtain file size:
    fseek(pFile, 0, SEEK_END);
    lSize = ftell(pFile)
    rewind(pFile);

    // allocate memory to contain the whole file:
    buffer = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char) * lSize);

    if (buffer == NULL) {
        fputs("Memory error", stderr);
        exit(2);
    }

    // copy the file into the buffer:
    result = fread(buffer, 1, lSize, pFile);
    if (result != lSize) {
        fputs("Reading error", stderr);
        exit(3);
    }

    // clean up
    fclose(pFile);

    IplImage *img;
    img = cvCreateImage(cvSize(768, 1280), IPL_DEPTH_8U, 4);
    memcpy(img->imageData, buffer, lSize);
    cvSaveImage("Displaywindow.png", img);

    int width = img->width;
    int height = img->height;

    CvVideoWriter *writer = cvCreateVideoWriter("out.avi",
                                    CV_FOURCC_DEFAULT,
                                      30,
                                       cvSize(height, width), 1);

    if(writer == NULL)
    {
        printf("error\n");
        exit(0);
    }
    for(int counter=0;counter < 3000;counter++)
    {
        if(cvWriteFrame(writer,img) == 0)
        {
            printf("con't write\n");
            exit(0);
        }
    }
    waitKey(0);
    return 0;
}

I am passing my raw file as argument.

So this happened - I heard back from Evernight on my submission of The Warrior's Whisper. The acquisition editor asked for some revisions to make the story and conflict clearer and stronger.
I admit I was stunned, hurt, maybe even a little offended. I just knew I'd get the story accepted as is.
But now that I've begun evaluating the editor notes, PM'd the marketing manager who is also an Evernight author for some advice - I'm feeling better about the story and the changes I've already made and will continue to make.
The story will be more emotional, not necessarily a bad thing, right? It will also help to make Hannah's Bliss better. I've had to stop my story development for now, though I have most of it down. I'm anxious to get Hannah's Bliss written.
I've got some surprises in store, relating to Rocco Moretti's character so this revision request is messing with my surprise timelines. I want to finish revising and resubmit The Warrior's Whisper in the next several days.


My 4 flavor gift box is the perfect gift to send to family, friends or clients for a special occasion. It contains a 3.5 oz box of each of my most popular flavors of homemade cheese straws: cheddar, pecan cheddar, parmesan, and hot habanero. Each 3.5 oz box feeds 3-4 people (8 straws each person) so the gift box feeds approximately 14 people...if you can stop at 8 straws. If you are having it shipped directly to someone and want to include a custom message or need it to arrive on a certain date, once you add it to your cart please leave your custom message in the box provided for special instructions at the bottom of the page and it will be hand written on a note card to be included in the shipment. If you need to send gifts to multiple people, place a separate order for each shipping address. I personally hand pack each order so if the billing and shipping address are different, a packing slip with sender name and without price is included in the shipment. Normally ships in 3-5 business days. If you need them by a certain date or want them to arrive on a certain date, please type a note in the box provided for special instructions at the bottom of the page after you add your selections to your cart.
If you are ordering these to be mailed to you to be given as gifts to others, you can hole punch your own business card or tag to add to the twine ribbon to personalize them.

The need for new approaches in agricultural teachings aimed to reduce yield losses in crops due to insect pests, plant diseases and weeds was felt at the time of up gradation of former Agriculture College to Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam in 1977. This was eventually translated into the establishment of the Faculty of Crop Protection in July, 1987. The teachings at this Faculty coordinate the work of Entomology, Plant Pathology, Weed Science and other Plant Protection components for imparting the technical know-how of producing healthy crops and addressing the day to day problems of farming community in the field of Crop Protection as a whole. The Faculty achieves this task through its three departments viz. Entomology, Plant Pathology and Plant Protection; offering course work leading to graduate and postgraduate degrees with special reference to identification and management of newly observed as well as the traditional insect pests, weeds and diseases of crops caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes.
To promote merit and healthy academic competition, the faculty awards various scholarships to needy and meritorious students at graduate and postgraduate levels through pesticide companies and various other government and non-government organizations, including HEC-USAID and HEC-Japanese need based scholarships.
To achieve the highest standards in teaching, learning and research related to insect pests, weeds and diseases of crops and to advance and disseminate the knowledge in crop protection to all the stakeholders in agriculture, especially the farmers with emphasis on non-chemical management methods including biological, mechanical and cultural control.
Graduates from this Faculty can find employment in Academic, Provincial as well as Federal Government Sectors Including Agri. Extension, Research, PARC, PAEC (NIAB, NIBGE, NIFA, NIA), SUPARCO, PCCC, Pakistan Science Foundation (PSF), Pakistan Museum of Natural History (PMNH), FSC&RD (Federal Seed Certification & Registration), Federal Plant Protection/Plant Quarantine, Banks, Rural Support Programs (RSPs), NGOs working in Agriculture and Rural Development and Private Pesticides Companies etc. They also can start their career through self-employment, as Plant Clinicians, Advisers / Consultants, Pesticide Dealers and by starting mushroom cultivation.


Great to see close on 100 visitors on both competition nights, and to witness NCPS finishing a creditable 2nd out of the 17 clubs competing in Wednesday's print event and equal 3rd out of 19 clubs in Thursday's PDI Knock-out challenge. Chorley PS must be congratulated on leading the pack at both competitions. Here are the full results:- NCPS Prints NCPS DPI .
Friday's awards presentations and fish & chip supper rounded off the week in relaxed style with about 50 members and friends enjoying a really convivial atmosphere in the hall, with ample time to have a good look at the club's entry of PDIs and Prints. Despite our print displays lacking their normal illumination (the missing light sets were later discovered buried under the stage) the variety and quality of the pictures didn't suffer unduly and attracted many favourable comments from the visiting clubs and members of the local community who took advantage of free entry during the day.
The Annual Exhibition is always the highlight of our year at North Cheshire PS mainly thanks to all those willing volunteers who contribute in so many ways to put on a good show.

Anguillan bankruptcy law regulates the position of individuals and companies who are unable to meet their financial obligations.

Bankruptcy of individuals is usually referred to as "personal bankruptcy" in Anguilla, whereas the bankruptcy of corporations is referred to as "corporate insolvency".  The legislation largely deals with both separately, although there are some common provisions.

Personal bankruptcy

Personal bankruptcy is regulated under the Bankruptcy Act (Cap B.15).  Under that statute, a person commits an act of bankruptcy if he or she:
 makes a conveyance or assignment of his property to a trustee or trustees for the benefit of his creditors generally;
 makes a fraudulent conveyance, gift, delivery, or transfer of his property, or any part thereof;
 makes any conveyance or transfer of his property, or any part thereof, or creates any charge thereon, which would under this or any other Act be void as a fraudulent preference if he were adjudged bankrupt;
 with intent to defeat or delay his creditors he departs out of Anguilla, or being out of Anguilla remains out of Anguilla, or departs from his dwelling house, or otherwise absents himself, or begins to keep house;
 execution having issued against him, has been levied by seizure and sale of his goods under process in an action in any court, or in any civil proceeding;
 if any judgment debt has been ordered by the Court to be levied upon any lands or any mortgage, encumbrance or interest in or upon such land;
 files in the Court a declaration of his inability to pay his debts, or presents a bankruptcy petition against himself or herself;
 if a creditor has obtained a final judgment against him for any amount, and execution thereon not having been stayed, and he does not, within the time provided, either comply with the requirements of the notice, or satisfy the Court that he has a counterclaim, set off or cross demand which equals or exceeds the amount of the judgment debt;
 if the debtor gives notice to any of his creditors that he has suspended, or that he is about to suspend, payment of his debts; or
 if the debtor has in fact suspended payment of his debts and given notice to any of his creditors that he is insolvent.

If any of those conditions are made out, then the court may make a "receiving order" (which is the name for what is ordinarily called a bankruptcy order in Anguilla).  On the making of a receiving order a receiver is constituted "receiver" of the property of the debtor, and thereafter no creditor to whom the debtor is indebted in respect of any debt provable in bankruptcy shall have any remedy against the debtor in respect of the debt or shall commence any action or other legal proceedings unless with the leave of the Court, and on such terms as the Court may impose.  Thereafter a meeting of creditors is convened, and they may by resolution of 75% of creditors in value seek to implement an arrangement or compromise in relation to the debts of the bankrupt.  If the meeting is not successful in implementing a scheme, then the court will appoint a trustee in bankruptcy who will divide the property of the bankrupt between his creditors in the discharge of their claims.

Corporate insolvency

Anguillan corporate insolvency law is presently highly fragmented, with various different parts of appearing in either the Bankruptcy Act (Cap B.15) or the Companies Act (Cap C.65).  However, the matrix of laws is nonetheless fragmentary and incomplete.  At present there are no provisions under Anguillan law in relation to corporate insolvency which address insolvency set-off, or the avoidance of dispositions after the commencement of winding-up.  There are also no powers conferred upon the liquidator specifically relating to challenging transactions entered into the "twilight" period which prejudice the general body of creditors, but there is limited scope to seek redress for such transactions outside of the insolvency regime under the Fraudulent Dispositions Act (Cap F.60).

However, the legislature is currently considering a comprehensive new Insolvency Act which will both close all of the relevant gaps in the law, and consolidate all related laws relating to both corporate insolvency and personal bankruptcy into a single statute.

Where a liquidator over a company is appointed (either voluntarily or by the court), the liquidator's primary duty is to collect in all of the company's assets and then distribute them pari passu to the company's creditors.  The law confers wide powers upon the liquidator to enable him to do so.  Once a liquidator is appointed, unsecured creditors cannot commence legal proceedings against the insolvent company without the leave of the court, and any rights of action against the company are converted into claims in the liquidation process.  Any disposition of property by the company after the commencement of winding-up is void unless the court otherwise orders.

Secured creditors generally do not participate in the liquidation process, and may continue to proceed with any enforcement action directly against their collateral pursuant to a valid security interest.

Anguillan law provides for statutory netting relating to financial contracts under the Netting Act (Cap N.03), and this will prevail over any other off provisions arising by law.

President of Turkmenistan Participates in Mass Improvement Action
The President of Turkmenistan took part in a mass cleanup action. The event was held on the territory of Ashgabat and all velayats. Its main purpose was to bring the territory in a proper aesthetic appearance and improve the level of comfort of the population.
The mass beautification action (yovar) held on the territory of the Turkmen capital was timed to its 140th anniversary as well as the thirtieth anniversary of the country's independence. The decision was made during the government session on the digital system. The head of state ordered to bring all settlements of Turkmenistan in proper shape by the jubilee date.
The leader of the nation arrived at the start of the event early in the morning. The president carried out a set of measures to take care of the plantings - whitewashing tree trunks, loosening the ground, and so on. This marked the beginning of the landscaping efforts throughout the country. Following the example of the President, other participants in the event also took care of the "sponsored" trees.
These ennobling actions achieve several important goals at once. Not only do they improve the ecological well-being of the nation, but they also foster a respectful attitude toward labor among young people.
Our state pays a lot of attention to mass planting - planting campaigns are held annually both in spring and fall. Representatives of the government, local government, cultural and educational figures take part in them. Together they plant millions of seedlings every year. These are not only deciduous and coniferous trees, but also grapes and fruit crops.
The landscaping actions were accompanied by songs and dances designed to enhance the festive atmosphere.
Upon completion of the works, the President of Turkmenistan made a speech in which he stressed the importance of carrying out the mentioned works in the future. The Turkmen leader noted the importance of the culture of careful treatment of the environment in the system of national values.
Wishing everyone present success in their constructive activities, the Head of State left the site of the action.

Released on EMI (Electra) 6 April 1981 (UK) and 9 April 1981 (USA). Produced by RMT, recorded at Mountain, Montreux. This album was re-issued on CD on 5th May 1996 and again on CD and vinyl on 24th March 2015.
There is no particular story behind this album, besides the fact that Roger had some ideas which he couldn't put on Queen's album and that's why he decided to make his own full record. He signed to EMI and recorded almost everything by himself. He did have some help with keyboards but all the rest was recorded by him. In album credits he hopes people like it – if not, "sod you". From this album "Future Management" song was played for Top Of The Pops BBC programme, back in 1981. Unfortunately Roger did fake singing, just playing to pre-recorded album version. But anyway, still we can watch him "playing" the guitar (black Fender Telecaster I guess) and as a background we see that Creepy monster from album cover.
Oh, I would have forgotten… the fantasy magazine Creepy inspired the cover for the album. Aaand… it is the only Taylor album produced by himself only.

Here's what would follow US-Russia nuclear war
August 28th, 2019 Posted by Todd Bates-Rutgers
If the United States and Russia waged an all-out nuclear war, much of the land in the Northern Hemisphere would be below freezing in the summertime, with the growing season slashed by nearly 90% in some areas, according to a new study.
Indeed, death by famine would threaten nearly all of the Earth's 7.7 billion people, says coauthor Alan Robock, a professor in the environmental sciences department in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at Rutgers University–New Brunswick.
The study in the Journal of Geophysical Research–Atmospheres provides more evidence to support the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons the United Nations passed two years ago, Robock says. Twenty-five nations have ratified the treaty so far, not including the United States, and it would take effect when the number hits 50.
Lead author Joshua Coupe, a doctoral student at Rutgers University, and other scientists used a modern climate model to simulate the climatic effects of an all-out nuclear war between the United States and Russia.
Such a war could send 150 million tons of black smoke from fires in cities and industrial areas into the lower and upper atmosphere, where it could linger for months to years and block sunlight. The scientists used a new climate model from the National Center for Atmospheric Research with higher resolution and improved simulations compared with a NASA model used by a research team Robock led 12 years ago.
The new model represents the Earth at many more locations and includes simulations of the growth of the smoke particles and ozone destruction from the heating of the atmosphere. Still, the climate response to a nuclear war from the new model was nearly identical to that from the NASA model.
"This means that we have much more confidence in the climate response to a large-scale nuclear war," Coupe says. "There really would be a nuclear winter with catastrophic consequences."
In both the new and old models, a nuclear winter occurs as soot (black carbon) in the upper atmosphere blocks sunlight and causes global average surface temperatures to plummet by more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
Because a major nuclear war could erupt by accident or as a result of hacking, computer failure, or an unstable world leader, the only safe action that the world can take is to eliminate nuclear weapons, says Robock.
Additional researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and University of Colorado, Boulder contributed to the study.
