How To Spot and Avoid Twitter Spam Accounts
February 6, 2017 5 Mins Read
Marketers do all they can to avoid contact with spam accounts, but what many don't know is that spam accounts can come in many different forms to confuse users into interacting with them. This leads to inaccurate analytics if you're looking to engage with genuine audiences, and in some cases, you might build your marketing strategy based on these faulty results. That's why it's important to be informed on how spam accounts can engage with your content, and how you can be better about avoiding them in the future.
Spam Accounts Are Everywhere
A study from Venngage found that a reported 5% of Twitter's monthly user base consists of spam accounts. 5% may not seem like a lot, but when you factor in that Twitter's user base has about 300 million users, 5% is equal to around 15 million accounts.
So, What Does A Spam Account Look Like?
Most Twitter users are frequently interacting with spam accounts without even realizing it, and that's because some may be harder to spot than others. Some spam accounts are easily identifiable with an egg icon in place of a profile picture and nothing in the bio. These accounts follow a disproportionate number of people compared to their number of followers. They also constantly retweet content rather than post original tweets. These red flags are well-known spam account identifiers, but as Twitter users have grown savvier, spam accounts have become much more detailed in an effort to masquerade as real Twitter accounts.
Spam accounts that are harder to identify may include a profile picture of a successful or famous person. Below is an example of a recent follow to the GAIN account. The account below appears to be a model on a runway, and all of the content in this profile consists of retweets. In the bio, there is a website link which leads to a site for freelance work. It may be spam or legitimate, but regardless the link is random and doesn't fit with the rest of the details provided.
In some cases, accounts may be hijacked from previous users. Hijacked accounts may date back a few years to the time when the original user was active, while non-hijacked accounts may only date back a week. This, understandably, makes it harder to spot fake accounts. Bios can be filled out on spam accounts, but with these bios are random buzzwords; i.e., beer, geek, fanatic, believer, yoga lover, etc. Accounts like these might even tweet original content, rather than just retweeting, but these tweets tend to be in gibberish or are nonsensical; i.e., "We goin 2be rich!" or "Do tell! #news."
Hashtags That Attract Spam Accounts
Spam accounts maneuver their way through the Twittersphere primarily through locking in on a popular hashtag in a certain community. They may have websites and details listed in their bios that are pulled from other popular users in a certain community that they are targeting.
The easiest way for spam accounts to find popular communities is through using popular hashtags. For the marketing community, these hashtags might consist of #SEO, #Marketing, #Sales. Below are the results from a Venngage study showing which hashtags spam accounts hijack to find and interact with users.
Definition of ZeroSpam: Following no one else but has shared upwards of 1k tweets a month, otherwise known as Retweet Farms.
In the image, zero spam accounts are clearly identifiable as spam, while questionable accounts are accounts that are more detailed, yet they are still questionable through their odd activity.
The best way to avoid encounters with zero spam or questionable accounts is to refrain from prolific hashtagging unless you are directly trying to connect with a user or community. Hashtags work for directly engaging with users and are better used in moderation. For more on when and where to use hashtags, revisit our article covering the relevance of hashtags on social media.
What is Twitter Doing About These Spammy Profiles?
Twitter has claimed to make efforts in combating these spam accounts, but some may question their thoroughness when numerous spam accounts, dating back a few years, are still fully active. Users can report spam accounts, but it's hard to tell if this method is effective from the amount of old spam accounts still active.
So, What Can You Do to Avoid Contact with Spam Accounts?
The main rule of thumb is to avoid spam accounts because they can unknowingly boost your social authority and engagement results on the platform, which only hurts your performance on Twitter.
For Twitter users with a moderately-sized following, Twitter provides the option to create a list of blocked accounts. These lists can even be shared to help others be aware of the same spam accounts.
For users that have an expansive following, tools like Crowdfire app make it easy to weed through new spam followers. Users can add spammy accounts to a blacklist, which means that you won't ever be recommended to follow them again, even if they unfollow and refollow your account. These blocked accounts remain on the blacklist until they are manually removed, keeping your accounts safe from false engagements.
We hope this helps you identify and do away with spam accounts so you can focus on building a genuine Twitter following in 2017. Good luck!

The Unit Cartoonist: How the Grinch burned down Christmas
George Hand
Updated December 21, 2022 06:26:03
Master Sergeant George Hand US Army (ret) was a member of the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, The Delta Force. He is a now a master photographer, cartoonist and storyteller.
(Featured cartoon: The unfortunate Christmas fire started by the Grinch here is likened to the great Chicago Fire of 1871, when a cow being milked by owner Catherine "Cate" O'Leary kicked over an oil lantern that started a hay fire in the barn they were in. The fire killed 300 people and destroyed over 17,000 structures)
Quite a lot of the nation tends to kick back and cut slack during the holidays. Some functions cannot do that by sheer nature of the importance of their contribution. Others will not simply because…they don't want to.
That was the attitude of my Special Mission Unit. It was a year that we felt we needed to train more, but were just running out of days in the year to do it. It was then that we ran our live-fire urban combat training all the way up to the 24th of December.
Not even Christmas was a candidate to compromise our resolve to train to standard.
Our urban combat training site was an abandoned neighborhood just off the far end of the runway of a major American airport. The property values had sunk out of sight due to the constant roar of the aircraft overhead. The houses were pretty old, but I don't think they were older than the airport. It begged the question: "why would anyone think it was a good idea to build a community so close to the flight path of such a large airport?"
An abandoned hood such as this makes an excellent complicated urban target subject. (David Lohr)
While some real estate investor had come up bust, Delta had gained a 360-degree free-fire city where anything could go into the tactical fight. Our operations cell had worked on the hood for weeks preparing it with modifications: pop-up targets in windows and doors, on roofs, and even behind bushes. Some of the targets moved across streets mounted
on rollers that ran along the tops of cables. There simply was just no way to even modestly know what to expect.
The keyword there is what lends the greatest to the realism of the training venue — not knowing what to expect; to be coaxed into expecting the unexpected. The whole ambiance of the scenario begged every man to constantly scan overhead and wonder just what might burst forth from out of the ground. Therein lies a formidable test of our true live-fire marksman skill.
The Grinch was our Bravo Assault Team Leader. He was a painfully no-nonsense one-man wrecking machine with combat experience in Lebanon, Somalia, the Iraqi Wars, and Afghanistan. "Asscrackistan," the Grinch would say, "is no place for a fatherless boy." Yes, just what exactly he meant by that no sane man knew, but it was his version of humor, and knowing that we all laughed each time he said it.
Another famous Grinch-ism: he was once formally quoted to have said to a man: "Well, that's your opinion, and it's wrong!" Any attempt to explain the absence of degrees of right or wrong of an opinion was in danger of being met with a lung-collapsing blow to the chest; that's just how the Grinch rolled. Ours was never to reason why with the Grinch, ours was to pop the snot bubble and move out.
We spent half days planning our assaults on our "Slim City" as we called it: methods of infiltrations onto target, exit strategies, routes of movement to objectives, and contingency plans. The second halves of the days we executed our assaults on targets.
A meeting with the City Mayor's office and Police Chief was required to secure the use of the abandoned neighborhood that was scheduled for demolition. After presenting a description of the training we planned to do, the Mayor asked our senior officer: "What guarantee can you give me that your men will not miss some of these targets and send bullets whizzing through my city?"
The response: "Because they'll be told not to," the senior officer replied — sold!
During the last assault (it's always on the last assault) the Grinch skillfully maneuvered his pipe-hitters from building to building. The booming of flash-bang grenades and the quick staccato of double-tap* rifle shots was almost rhythmic, to the extent that we could pretty much tell how far through the buildings he was.
Then "it" happened…
The Grinch slammed a flash-bang in a room. It bounced off a wall and came to rest near the open entrance door. When it exploded it shoved the locked door shut. It was a metal door that did not respond to mule kicks from the powerful Grinch: "put a man on it and the rest of us by-pass it!" the Grinch instructed. When they finished clearing the structure, it had become filled with smoke that was coming from the locked room.
"BLOW IT!!" the Grinch called out, and a man immediately slapped a full 80-inch high explosive charge on the door and fired it. With an Earth-rocking explosion, the door was pushed inside the room…but immense flames shot out of the doorway. The Grinch keyed his microphone and called in the situation as structural fire out of control. The Command and Control element had the city fire department alerted.
It became painfully clear that most the the neighborhood was going to burn.
The old building was consumed totally and in short order by flames which spread from building to building. Soon an entire block was a raging inferno of flame and choking smoke. The pumper trucks from the local fire department showed up. The boys were there to meet the trucks:
"Thanks, we'll take it from here," the boys told the fire crews, who stood stunned for many moments, then ultimately had to concede the pipe-hitters who bore no grins upon their faces. It was no joke.
"They… they took our trucks.
The fire crews huddled at the hood entrance while the boys fought the fires, knocking them down with high-pressure hoses and water canons. The assault tactics on fire were the status quo for any assault, just that water was now being launched. The last of the flames succumbed to the deluge with a small number of structures hardly worth the count.
The brothers knocked down the flames with high pressure water the best they could.
"Who on God's Earth is responsible for this?" demanded our ranking officer later into the night where he addressed the balance of the men. The mighty Grinch, offering no sugar coating, took a mighty step forward.
Saying nothing as he stood with hands on hips, and stared the Major down.
"Ok… we're all tired from a very long day and night; let's knock it off and get some sleep!" the major conceded.
*Double-tap: two shots of rifle or pistol that are fired very quickly to the chest area of a threat target. Often time they are fired so fast as to be barely discernible as two separate shots fired. Double-taps are often fired with a slower third "clean up" shot to the head. The meter of the event will "sound" like this: "Ba-Bam… bam, Ba-Bam… Bam."

Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. Set in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) between 1735 and 1737, Freedom Cry follows Adéwalé, a prominent supporting character from the 2013 title Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. While attempting to disrupt Templar activities in the Caribbean Sea on behalf of their rival organization, the Brotherhood of Assassins, Adéwalé finds himself shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue, where he comes face-to-face with some of the most brutal slavery practices in the West Indies.

Originally released as a post-launch downloadable content (DLC) expansion pack titled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag — Freedom Cry, a standalone version that does not require the base game of Black Flag was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 in February 2014. In December 2019, the game was re-released on the Nintendo Switch as part of a compilation titled Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection, which also includes Black Flag and its successor, Assassin's Creed Rogue. The story campaign of Freedom Cry, which takes place thirteen years after the events of Black Flag, is loosely connected to its narrative but retains most of its core gameplay mechanics. Writer Jill Murray served as the lead writer for Freedom Cry, while French musician Olivier Deriviere composed the game's soundtrack, replacing Brian Tyler, the composer employed for the base game.

The Xbox One version of Freedom Cry received favorable reviews from video game publications, whereas the overall reception of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 versions was less positive. Critics generally praised the game's storytelling and the decision to focus on an already established side character, but were disappointed by its short length and the lack of substantial gameplay improvements over Black Flag. Freedom Cry has been retrospectively assessed as a notable depiction of the slave narrative genre in the video game medium.

Gameplay

Freedom Cry is a single-player action-adventure, stealth game set in an open world structure and played from a third-person perspective in both land and sea environments. Players assume the role of Adéwalé, a former slave from Trinidad who served as the quartermaster of Black Flag protagonist Edward Kenway onboard his ship the Jackdaw before joining the Brotherhood of Assassins. Like Black Flag, Freedom Cry features naval combat where players may engage, board, and capture passing ships. From Adéwalé's ship, which is upgradeable throughout the game using in-game currency and resources, players may examine distant ships along with their cargo and strength using a spyglass.

A new gameplay mechanic introduced in Freedom Cry is the liberation of oppressed slaves. Each freed slave serves as a resource for the player to accumulate in order to unlock upgrades for Adéwalé's personal armaments and equipment at his base of operations. Players may utilize a similar recruit system introduced in Black Flag to enlist recruited Maroons to fight by Adéwalé's side. Players will encounter opportunities for Adéwalé to liberate slaves and fighting Maroons from their oppressors through procedurally generated instances, raids on colonial plantations, or story missions.

Plot
In 1735, while leading an attack on a Templar convoy in the West Indies, Adéwalé (Tristan D. Lalla) manages to recover a package containing an ancient artifact, but his ship, the Victoire, is caught in a violent storm shortly afterwards. Adéwalé awakens off the coast of Saint-Domingue and finds himself within the vicinity of its capital city of Port-au-Prince. Aware that the Templars were meant to deliver the artifact to a woman named Bastienne Josèphe (Mariah Inger), Adéwalé discovers that she is the madame of a local brothel. He confronts Josèphe, who discloses that she is secretly a sympathizer to the Maroons, a group of freedom fighters made up of liberated slaves, and that she uses the money paid to her by the Templars to free slaves in the region. Adéwalé is persuaded by Josèphe to aid the Maroon cause; he meets their leader Augustin Dieufort (Christian Paul), and commandeers a new ship called the Experto Crede to disrupt the regional slave trade.

While working for Bastienne, Adéwalé learns that the governor of Port-au-Prince, Pierre de Fayet (Marcel Jeannin), plans a clandestine expedition to gather geographical data which he intends to sell to the highest bidder. Adéwalé infiltrates the expedition by replacing its illiterate slaves with literate Maroons to procure the data sought by the governor. Bastienne objects to Adéwalé's plan for further raids against the slave trade and claims that de Fayet will punish the imprisoned slaves in retaliation for the Maroon offensive. Adéwalé ignores her, but later witnesses a French naval frigate fire upon an unarmed slave ship to prevent the slaves from joining the Maroons. Adéwalé saves a few of the slaves from drowning, but the ship ultimately capsizes, killing the rest.

Vowing vengeance, Adéwalé infiltrates de Fayet's mansion and assassinates him. Before dying, the governor claims that slaves are subhuman and incapable of self-governance. After handing the artifact—revealed to be a Precursor box—over to Josèphe, Adéwalé leaves Port-au-Prince and returns to the Assassins, but pledges to continue aiding the oppressed within the region.

Development and release
The lead writer of Freedom Cry is Jill Murray, who also wrote Assassin's Creed III: Liberation and the Aveline DLC add-on for Black Flag. Other members of the writing team for Freedom Cry included Melissa MacCoubrey, Hugo Giard and Wesley Pincombe. The score for Freedom Cry was composed by Olivier Deriviere. It was recorded at Avatar Studios in New York with La Troupe Makandal, a dedicated group for Haitian music, and at Galaxy Studios in Belgium with the Brussels Philharmonic.

Freedom Cry was originally released in December 2013 as a DLC expansion pack for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One versions of Black Flag. In February 2014, it was announced that Freedom Cry would be released as a standalone title on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on February 18, 2014, for North America and February 19, 2014, for Europe. It was later released for the PC on February 25, 2014. Along with Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Rogue, Freedom Cry was included as part of Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection for the Nintendo Switch, which was released on December 6, 2019. The game was released for Google Stadia on September 14, 2021, as part of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Gold Edition.

Reception

According to review aggregator Metacritic, Freedom Cry was generally well received on Xbox One, whereas the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 versions scored slightly lower with mixed or average reviews.

In a 2014 review, Electronic Gaming Monthly lauded the story of Freedom Cry as the "most powerful, poignant tale" in the Assassin's Creed universe and the DLC pack's singular highlight, and noted that it was unusual to feature a side character as the player avatar. Hardcore Gamer concurred that the DLC pack is an excellent supplement to the base game, and praised the story of Freedom Cry as worth experiencing across an engaging setting. The UK edition of Official Xbox Magazine thought the otherwise nice extra story "suffers a little from resetting and restarting progress", but otherwise welcomed the additional downloadable content for Black Flag. Eurogamer considered Freedom Cry's greatest asset to be its "strong, self-contained narrative". Conversely, GameSpot was troubled by the DLC pack's handling of the dark themes surrounding slave narratives.

Much of the criticism focused on the game's size and scope compared to Black Flag as well as aspects of its gameplay mechanics. Electronic Gaming Monthly thought Freedom Cry felt "paltry" compared to the base game. IGN described Freedom Cry to be "an entire Assassin's Creed game distilled into five hours", but claimed that its mechanics have omitted much of the forward thinking decisions that kept Black Flag relevant at the time of its release. Eurogamer commented that gameplay mechanics "remain resolutely locked up" to the Assassin's Creed framework, and claimed that player weariness in response to its over-familiarity ultimately undermines its strong narrative. On the other hand, Game Revolution found no flaw with the presentation of its gameplay, which is asserted to be the fundamental draw of the DLC pack as opposed to the story of its protagonist, Adéwalé.

In February 2015, Murray, MacCoubrey, Giard and Pincombe jointly received a Writers Guild of America Awards nomination in the 67th edition for the screenplay and story of Freedom Cry.

Scarlett Kanistanaux
Scarlett Kanistanaux creates portraits in clay that are absolutely arresting. While meticulously rendered in a realistic style, the viewer is afforded an experience that transcends mere realism.
Kanistanaux accomplishes this intention in several ways. An example entitled "Blessing" is a head that measures 43 inches in height. The monumentality is powerful, exerting a commanding presence. The surface is a mysteriously perfect, smooth, softly glowing black gesso. The face seems to be a real person and at the same time an ideal expression of serenity. And most importantly, but hardest to define, is the actual spirit and intention of Kanistanaux, whose efforts to share her vision of peace and beauty have resulted in such a compelling body of work.
In 2014, Kanistanaux was represented by Pismo gallery at Art Palm Beach in Florida. From 2011 to 2013, she participated in Pismo's exhibition at SOFA in Chicago. In 2013, she was chosen to exhibit in "Art of the State" at the Arvada Center in Colorado and took "First Place." In 2010, she was awarded first place in the Foothills Art Center exhibition, "Colorado Clay". In 2009, she was represented at the National Sculpture Society's "76th Annual Exhibition" in New York City, winning the Pietro and Alfrieda Montana Memorial Prize. In 2005, Kanistanaux participated in the "Loveland Sculpture Invitational" and in the years since 2006 she has been selected to exhibit in the juried show "Sculpture in the Park", in Loveland, Colorado.

Summer Opera Is About to Get Unseasonably Hot in New York City and Beyond
By James Jorden • 05/22/19 8:00am
Mischievous Mozart at Lincoln Center: Barrie Kosky's silent-comedy take on 'Die Zauberflöte'. Iko Freese
Remember when we had seasons? That is, remember when April and May in New York actually had distinctive (i.e., balmy) weather: not like last weekend, when the last chilly winter fog resolved into a blindly hot day over the course of barely 24 hours?
Well, back in those days when we still experienced four distinct weather changes, we (or, let's say "they") still had something called "The Season," a time of formal gatherings among the Astors and the Vanderbilts and their ilk. The social calendar and the schedule of the Metropolitan Opera were symbiotic back then: lively from November through around Easter, and then dormant as the patrons of the Golden Horseshoe retreated to Newport, Bar Harbor and the capitals of Europe.
Subscribe to Observer's Arts Newsletter
That tradition is still honored (in part) at the Met: the company gave its last performance of its 2018/2019 repertoire over a week ago and will not reopen until the last week of September. In the meantime, though, New York has sprouted a summer of opera that is dizzying in its variety and ambition.
Take, for instance, New York City Opera's two presentations, both themed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots of 1969. On May 30 the company opens a week-long run of the chamber piece As One, an "entertaining and delicately moving" evocation of the emotional journey of a transgender woman. When I heard the piece a few years ago, I was struck especially by the minimalist sincerity of Laura Kaminsky's music and the work's becomingly modest scale.
NYCO returns with what may be a more grandiose piece the following month, with the world premiere of Stonewall, a musical drama that promises to follow "a diverse group of characters whose lives collide at that pivotal moment in history when the police push them too far and they find the courage to fight back." The new work by composer Iain Bell and librettist Mark Campbell features a role specifically tailored for a transgender artist, played here by male mezzo-soprano Liz Bouk.
Honoring the Gilded Age tradition of summering out of town (or at least out of Manhattan), the innovate concert series The Crypt Sessions burrows below Brooklyn's historic Green-Wood Cemetery for performances of Purcell's charming tragedy Dido and Aeneas. The venue itself (an ancient catacomb, as delightfully creepy as something from Suspiria), is worth the visit—and even if you don't care for opera, you can concentrate on the pre-show whiskey tasting.
Farther north, the always stimulating Bard SummerScape offers amid its mélange of interdisciplinary arts two strikingly contrasting opera productions. The performance piece Acquanetta by Michael Gordon and Deborah Artman deconstructs the mystery of a camp 1940s B-movie actress via a "cathartic" production by Daniel Fish.
Later at Bard, a two-weekend frenzy of lectures, concerts and demonstrations climaxes in a fully-staged production of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Das Wunder der Heliane. This show promises everything: symbolism, eroticism, political intrigue and gorgeous orchestration, all done up in the composer's signature "more is more" musical style.
And for those determined to ride out the heat right here in Manhattan, the second year of the Teatro Nuovo bel canto festival visits Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall for two dates in July, offering rarities by Bellini and Rossini. Meanwhile, the more familiar Mozart masterpiece Die Zauberflöte puts on a new and whimsical face at the Mostly Mozart Festival in a widely acclaimed staging by Barrie Kosky inspired by silent film animation.
So for aficionado and beginner alike, the New York summer season offers everything one might desire—with the possible exception of adequate ventilation on the F train platform.

In my post "Tips for Handling Your Data Center Relocation," I discussed some basic strategies for streamlining a data center move. Since then, I've received a few requests for more insight into handling the data center relocation process. In this post I'll address whether it's necessary to call in the pros and how to pick a data center moving company.
While in some cases the in-house team can handle the move themselves, most enterprises need a little extra help. I liken it to attempting a plumbing project on your own. The tools you need to do the job most effectively are so specialized and you rarely have them – in most situations, it would take you three times the amount of effort to do the job versus the professional. With a data center relocation project, having the right packing materials, rigging equipment, trucks, and so forth are all necessary for a job well done.
Step 1: Finding a data center moving company.
Nearly every area has a company that specializes in relocating computer equipment. They can be found in the Yellow Pages, via an online search, or by asking for referrals from colleagues. The hard part is making sure you've found a qualified company that specializes in data center moves. Checking references is vitally important. A general rule of thumb I've seen people use is "The bigger the companies they work for, the better the moving company is," but this isn't always the case.
When lost or damaged equipment can mean downtime and escalating costs, the need to choose carefully is clear. The most important thing to look for is experience. How many years has the data center relocation company been in business? What's the combined experience of their team? Have they worked on projects of similar scale to your own?
Ask specific questions to make sure they perform these services on a regular basis. What are the company's best practices and proven methodologies? What resources and support does the company offer? How would they coordinate all aspects of the move from start to finish?
a computer room design firm to verify the power and cooling capacity on the other side.
A very common mistake companies make is hiring an "office" moving company rather than a "technical" moving company. Knowing what you are moving is very important, including how to pack, transport and handle sensitive equipment.

Great Lakes may shrink, report says
Martin Mittelstaedt
Published April 9, 2003 Updated April 9, 2003
This article was published more than 10 years ago. Some information in it may no longer be current.
The Great Lakes are poised to become a lot less great because global warming will cause a dramatic plunge in the amount of water they contain, a new report says.
Compiled by a team of scientists from Canada and the United States, the report says the rising temperatures accompanying climate change will cause the lakes to shrink, with water levels in Lake Huron and Lake Michigan likely falling about three metres by 2030.
If concentrations of greenhouse-gas emissions continue to grow unchecked and reach double the level that occurred naturally before industrial times, the drop could be as much as eight metres, or about the height of a two-storey house.
Such declines would cause major ecological changes as shorelines recede, and also harm shipping, cut the supply of electricity from hydro power stations and diminish the grandeur of global fixtures such as Niagara Falls.
The projections were in a report called Confronting Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region, which has been billed by its authors as the most authoritative study on the impact of climate change on the world's largest fresh-water ecosystem.
The water-level forecasts are based on computer models that simulate what would happen to the lakes as the temperature of the air above them warms. Rising temperatures will cause the water in the lakes to heat up and lose more of their moisture to evaporation.
At the same time, the higher temperatures will cause the land around the lakes to become drier, reducing the supply of groundwater feeding streams that flow into the lakes.
"It's the higher temperature which is really driving these future scenarios," said John Magnuson, a limnologist (the scientific study of fresh water) and emeritus professor from the University of Wisconsin. He said "almost every" computer model used by researchers is projecting future declines in the amount of water in the lakes.
The report was jointly released yesterday in major cities around the Great Lakes. It was produced by the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Ecological Society of America, both based in the United States, and the David Suzuki Foundation in Canada.
Lake Huron and Lake Michigan have huge surface areas, making them more vulnerable to evaporation and declining water levels than Lake Superior and Lake Ontario. The report estimated that Lake Superior, the deepest of the lakes, could drop only 0.6 metres by 2030.
The report also projects significant changes to Ontario's climate because of global warming. By the end of the century, if nothing is done to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, average summer temperatures will be four to eight degrees warmer than they are now.
That would mean Ontario would have the hot, humid temperatures that now prevail in the southern United States.
"By the end of the century, summers in southern Ontario will feel like those of Virginia today," said Katharine Hayhoe, a researcher who compiled the climate projections in the report. She said Ontario winters would resemble those currently experienced in New York.
The report says there are some potential gains from warmer temperatures, such as longer growing seasons for farmers. But this gain could be offset by lower soil-moisture levels and droughts, and the likelihood of new insect pests from southern regions.
The potential impacts of climate change could be diminished through reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels for electricity and transportation.
Ms. Hayhoe said Canadians are global gluttons when it comes to energy use and have per capita annual carbon dioxide emissions of 23 tonnes, the second- highest total in the world after Australia. The other industrialized countries have an average of 13 tonnes a person. "We're a big part of the problem," she said.

Sunglasses and sunscreen are essential for the first day. The dazzling brightness of the salt flats can cause a nasty sunburn.
Bring flip flops and a bathing suit. You don't want to miss out on the hot springs.
Layers, layers, layers. It may be warm when the sun is out but the altitude can make the evenings pretty chilly.
Bring extra cash. The Cactus Island and national park fees are not included in the price of the trip.
A camera is a must. With such stunning scenery you'll hardly be able to put it down!
It's an early start again today and you'll be on the road before breakfast to visit the Solar de Manana geyser basin. You'll arrive at this group of bubbling sulfur pools before the sun has even risen. Basked in the blue light of the moon, the landscape takes on an otherworldly feel as you roam between these gassy craters.
At 4,800 meters, this is the highest and also coldest stop of the trip, but to make up for this chilly wake up you'll next visit the Thermas de Polques hot springs. After you've warmed yourself in these natural waters breakfast is served.
One last alpine lake, Laguna Verde, which picturesquely reflects the snow-capped Lincacabur Volcano that sits behind it, finishes off the three-day itinerary. Then it's a long but scenic drive back to Uyuni and the real world.
There are many tour companies operating out of Uyuni but Red Planet Expeditions has a great reputation and comes highly recommended.
Up by six and out of the door by seven, today you'll leave the salt flats themselves and journey into the surrounding mountain range. Start the morning at Laguna Hedionda, an indigo lake encircled by frosty alpine peaks, where you'll catch your first glimpse of the Andean Flamingo.
While often associated with tropical destinations, these bright birds favor these frigid watering holes and can been seen in huge flocks. This will be a similar sight throughout the day as you stop by Laguna Blanca, Laguna Celeste and Laguna Colorada, each colored its own brilliant shade of white, turquoise and red respectively. This pigmentation is due to the minerals and algae present in each lake.
You'll also get the chance to explore natural rock formations, such as the Arbol de Piedra or stone tree, which has been carved into shape by years of fierce winds. After a long day you'll retire to another simple hotel and a warm blanket.
Start your tour from the dusty town of Uyuni, where after breakfast you'll board your jeep, and with all your food and gear strapped safely to the roof, you'll head out onto the flats for the first day. Along for the ride are a maximum of six passengers and one driver.
The first stop on the itinerary is the train cemetery, an abandoned heap of old steam locomotives which, since the collapse of the mining industry, have been laid to rest on the outskirts of Uyuni. These relics of an industrial past stand in stark contrast to the natural beauty of the surrounding mountain range and make for some interesting photos.
From there you'll visit the salt museum, the obligatory souvenir stop where you can pick up some crafts made entirely of salt to support the local community before finally reaching the flats themselves.
You'll spend the remainder of the day exploring the salt flats, from visiting the salt-mining area where you can observe how the salt is dried from its natural brine in pyramid-style piles, to the Isla del Pescado, a fossilized coral island covered in clusters of 900-year-old cacti, some of which reach up to 10 meters tall!
From the top you'll get a breathtaking view of the salt flats and the distant mountains, ending finally on a deserted stretch of salty terrain where you can take your own classic depth perception photos (as above).
You'll finish the day with a warm meal at one of the salt hotels. Accommodations are basic but beds are comfy and large duvets are provided so you are well rested for the next day of adventure.
High alpine peaks, multi-coloured lagoons teeming with pink flamingoes, ancient cacti and miles of pure white salt await the adventurous traveller on Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni. Strap in and hold on as you board a rugged 4 x 4 and barrel out onto this diverse stretch of terrain on a three-day salt flat excursion.
This natural wonder in the Altiplano of southwestern Bolivia is the result of the drying of various prehistoric lakes that left a 10,500 sq km crust of pure salt in their wake - making for a unique and breathtaking landscape.
The best way to access the Salar de Uyuni is on a three-day, two-night jeep tour that takes travellers across the flats and through the surrounding mountain peaks of the Andes to see alpine lakes, geysers, hot springs and some unexpected wildlife.

Home English News Is Hadi a joker?
Is Hadi a joker?
I think PAS president and supremo, Abdul Hadi Awang has ran out of ideas to the extent he is constantly making bizarre crude statements. He cannot even use the right metaphor to describe the former PH government.
Recently, he said that the PH government while in power was like an "instant noodles government".
He interprets instant noodles as uncooked noodles. In other words, it was not really a "cooked" government, but "uncooked" like instant noodles.
The whole idea behind the use of instant noodles is that it gets cooked fast, in a matter of minutes in comparison to the use of ordinary noodles.
To say that instant noodles are just as good as uncooked noodles is factually wrong.
The analogy that the PH government was like instant noodles was meant to show it was not stable or mature government. The indecision on who should be the prime minister was something that might have plagued the short lived PH government.
However, PH government was democratically electedwith the mandate from the people. It was usurped and undermined by Bersatu, PAS, Umno and others.
The present PN government is an illegal backdoor government.
PAS among other parties seized power through illegal means.
Yet Hadi is of the opinion that the PN government came to power through democratic means.
Was the Sheraton Move that engineered the collapse of the PH government endorsed by the Parliament?
Hadi was one of the prime architects of the collapse of the PH government. Hadi by lying and twisting facts cannot white wash the PN government. Hadi talks as though there is no one more virtuous than him.
Yet without realising he has of late emerged as the most racist and bigoted political leader. I am not sure what has gone wrong with Hadi, he has completely lost sense of what needs to be said.
Blaming the non-Malays as the source of corruption was another instance of Hadi's utter political nonsense.
Hadi might have lost his sense of purpose and political balance, however such traits do not not give him the room to say whatever he wants.
Perhaps a time has surely arrived that he could be termed as a comedian.
Such a label might predispose Malaysians not to take him seriously anymore.
He might be as good as a court jester.

Last week I travelled to Ballarat to visit Wendouree Primary School.
I met the children in Prep, 1/2 and 2/3 classes and we talked about how Clementine's Walk was written and illustrated.
The Prep class have given me a beautiful book they made themselves and it is all about where each person in the class would take Clementine for a walk. In the book, Clementine walks to a mountain and a fountain, to school and the shops, to the forest and a park, to a garden and the gym, to the circus and the beach, to friends' houses and fast food outlets and so many more places - even to a roller coaster!
Thank you for a lovely visit Wendouree Primary.
I'm selling my Christmas Cards at The Artists' Group Exhibition this year. Here are 4 of the 20 or so designs: Reindeer, Present Tree, Aussie Tree and Christmas Bliss.


On December 10 we were invited by the Central Library to present a craft for a special all-ages Crafting with Tech session. We had planned on offering a craft involving soldering, but found out with a few days to go that the smoke alarms are too sensitive. We had an emergency meeting and re-vamped the craft to omit soldering, substituting copper tape.
What we offered were laser cut acrylic shelf ornaments in a winter/holiday theme. Crafters wired up a simple LED/battery circuit on an acylic base that lit up an ornament. We were able to cut holes in the bases so they kept the led aligned, the ornament in place, and the battery snug. One lead of the LED contacted one side of the battery, copper tape completed the connection to the other side. This made for a lovely and cheap craft we could give away.
The event was popular, with about two dozen people, mostly teenagers, making ornaments. We will likely do this again for other holidays, starting with acrylic "candy" hearts just before Valentine's Day.

Hiring an employee is an important business decision. You want to find out as much as you can about a potential employee before you make an employment offer. Examining an applicant's consumer credit reports can provide you with valuable information, however, you need to be careful in how you use the information. You must follow the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires you to obtain an applicant's consent before accessing his credit reports and requires you to notify an applicant if you are not going to hire the person because of the information contained in his credit reports. The first notice to the applicant must occur before you make your employment decision and must include a copy of the credit report and an FTC publication describing the applicant's rights. After you make your decision you must provide the applicant with a second notice that describes why you made the decision and gives the applicant the opportunity to dispute the accuracy or completeness of the credit report. For more information about using consumer credit reports in hiring, visit www.ftc.gov.

Q: lvalue to rvalue implicit conversion I see the term "lvalue-to-rvalue conversion" used in many places throughout the C++ standard. This kind of conversion is often done implicitly, as far as I can tell.
One unexpected (to me) feature of the phrasing from the standard is that they decide to treat lvalue-to-rvalue as a conversion. What if they had said that a glvalue is always acceptable instead of a prvalue. Would that phrase actually have a different meaning? For example, we read that lvalues and xvalues are examples of glvalues. We don't read that lvalues and xvalues are convertible to glvalues. Is there a difference in meaning?
Before my first encounter with this terminology, I used to model lvalues and rvalues mentally more or less as follows:   "lvalues are always able to act as rvalues, but in addition can appear on the left side of an =, and to the right of an &".
This, to me, is the intuitive behavior that if I have a variable name, then I can put that name everywhere where I would have put a literal. This model seems consistent with lvalue-to-rvalue implicit conversions terminology used in the standard, as long as this implicit conversion is guaranteed to happen.
But, because they use this terminology, I started wondering whether the implicit lvalue-to-rvalue conversion may fail to happen in some cases. That is, maybe my mental model is wrong here. Here is a relevant part of the standard: (thanks to the commenters).

Whenever a glvalue appears in a context where a prvalue is expected, the glvalue is converted to a prvalue; see 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. [Note: An attempt to bind an rvalue reference to an lvalue is not such a context; see 8.5.3 .—end note]

I understand what they describe in the note is the following:
int x = 1;
int && y = x; //in this declaration context, x won't bind to y.
// but the literal 1 would have bound, so this is one context where the implicit
// lvalue to rvalue conversion did not happen.
// The expression on right is an lvalue. if it had been a prvalue, it would have bound.
// Therefore, the lvalue to prvalue conversion did not happen (which is good).

So, my question is (are):
1) Could someone clarify the contexts where this conversion can happen implicitly? Specifically, other than the context of binding to an rvalue reference, are there any other where lvalue-to-rvalue conversions fail to happen implicitly?
2) Also, the parenthetical [Note:...] in the clause makes it seem that we could have figured it out from the sentence before.  Which part of the standard would that be?
3) Does that mean that rvalue-reference binding is not a context where we expect a prvalue expression (on the right)?
4) Like other conversions, does the glvalue-to-prvalue conversion involve work at runtime that would allow me to observe it?
My aim here is not to ask if it is desirable to allow such a conversion. I'm trying to learn to explain to myself the behavior of this code using the standard as starting point.
A good answer would go through the quote I placed above and explain (based on parsing the text) whether the note in it is also implicit from its text. It would then maybe add any other quotes that let me know the other contexts in which this conversion may fail to happen implicitly, or explain there are no more such contexts.  Perhaps a general discussion of why glvalue to prvalue is considered a conversion.

A: I think the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion is more than just use an lvalue where an rvalue is required. It can create a copy of a class, and always yields a value, not an object.
I'm using n3485 for "C++11" and n1256 for "C99".

Objects and values
The most concise description is in C99/3.14:

object
region of data storage in the execution environment, the contents of which can represent
  values

There's also a bit in C++11/[intro.object]/1

Some objects are polymorphic; the implementation generates information associated with
  each such object that makes it possible to determine that object's type during program execution. For other objects, the interpretation of the values found therein is determined by the type of the expressions used to access them.

So an object contains a value (can contain).

Value categories
Despite its name, value categories classify expressions, not values. lvalue-expressions even cannot be considered values.
The full taxonomy / categorization can be found in [basic.lval]; here's a StackOverflow discussion.
Here are the parts about objects:

*

*An lvalue ([...]) designates a function or an object. [...]

*An xvalue (an "eXpiring" value) also refers to an object [...]

*A glvalue ("generalized" lvalue) is an lvalue or an xvalue.

*An rvalue ([...]) is an xvalue, a temporary object or subobject thereof, or a value that is not associated with an object.

*A prvalue ("pure" rvalue) is an rvalue that is not an xvalue. [...]

Note the phrase "a value that is not associated with an object". Also note that as xvalue-expressions refer to objects, true values must always occur as prvalue-expressions.

The lvalue-to-rvalue conversion
As footnote 53 indicates, it should now be called "glvalue-to-prvalue conversion". First, here's the quote:

1    A glvalue of a non-function, non-array type T can be converted to a prvalue. If T is an incomplete type, a program that necessitates this conversion is ill-formed. If the object to which the glvalue refers is not an object of type T and is not an object of a type derived from T, or if the object is uninitialized, a program
  that necessitates this conversion has undefined behavior. If T is a non-class type, the type of the prvalue is the cv-unqualified version of T. Otherwise, the type of the prvalue is T.

This first paragraph specifies the requirements and the resulting type of the conversion. It isn't yet concerned with the effects of the conversion (other than Undefined Behaviour).

2    When an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion occurs in an unevaluated operand or a subexpression thereof the value contained in the referenced object is not accessed. Otherwise, if the glvalue has a class type, the conversion copy-initializes a temporary of type T from the glvalue and the result of the conversion is a prvalue for the temporary. Otherwise, if the glvalue has (possibly cv-qualified) type std::nullptr_t, the
  prvalue result is a null pointer constant. Otherwise, the value contained in the object indicated by the glvalue is the prvalue result.

I'd argue that you'll see the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion most often applied to non-class types. For example,
struct my_class { int m; };

my_class x{42};
my_class y{0};

x = y;

The expression x = y does not apply the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion to y (that would create a temporary my_class, by the way). The reason is that x = y is interpreted as x.operator=(y), which takes y per default by reference, not by value (for reference binding, see below; it cannot bind an rvalue, as that would be a temporary object different from y). However, the default definition of my_class::operator= does apply the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion to x.m.
Therefore, the most important part to me seems to be

Otherwise, the value contained in the object indicated by the glvalue is the prvalue result.

So typically, an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion will just read the value from an object. It isn't just a no-op conversion between value (expression) categories; it can even create a temporary by calling a copy constructor. And the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion always returns a prvalue value, not a (temporary) object.
Note that the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion is not the only conversion that converts an lvalue to a prvalue: There's also the array-to-pointer conversion and the function-to-pointer conversion.

values and expressions
Most expressions don't yield objects[[citation needed]]. However, an id-expression can be an identifier, which denotes an entity. An object is an entity, so there are expressions which yield objects:
int x;
x = 5;

The left hand side of the assignment-expression x = 5 also needs to be an expression. x here is an id-expression, because x is an identifier. The result of this id-expression is the object denoted by x.
Expressions apply implicit conversions: [expr]/9

Whenever a glvalue expression appears as an operand of an operator that expects a prvalue for that operand, the lvalue-to-rvalue, array-to-pointer, or function-to-pointer standard conversions are applied to convert the expression to a prvalue.

And /10 about usual arithmetic conversions as well as /3 about user-defined conversions.
I'd love now to quote an operator that "expects a prvalue for that operand", but cannot find any but casts. For example, [expr.dynamic.cast]/2 "If T is a pointer type, v [the operand] shall be a prvalue of a pointer to complete class type".
The usual arithmetic conversions required by many arithmetic operators do invoke an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion indirectly via the standard conversion used. All standard conversions but the three that convert from lvalues to rvalues expect prvalues.
The simple assignment however doesn't invoke the usual arithmetic conversions. It is defined in [expr.ass]/2 as:

In simple assignment (=), the value of the expression replaces that of the object referred to by the left operand.

So although it doesn't explicitly require a prvalue expression on the right hand side, it does require a value. It is not clear to me if this strictly requires the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion. There's an argument that accessing the value of an uninitialized variable should always invoke undefined behaviour (also see CWG 616), no matter if it's by assigning its value to an object or by adding its value to another value. But this undefined behaviour is only required for an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion (AFAIK), which then should be the only way to access the value stored in an object.
If this more conceptual view is valid, that we need the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion to access the value inside an object, then it'd be much easier to understand where it is (and needs to be) applied.

Initialization
As with simple assignment, there's a discussion whether or not the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion is required to initialize another object:
int x = 42; // initializer is a non-string literal -> prvalue
int y = x;  // initializer is an object / lvalue

For fundamental types, [dcl.init]/17 last bullet point says:

Otherwise, the initial value of the object being initialized is the (possibly converted) value of the initializer expression. Standard conversions will be used, if necessary, to convert the initializer expression to the cv-unqualified version of the destination type; no user-defined conversions are considered. If the conversion cannot be done, the initialization is ill-formed.

However, it also mentioned the value of the initializer expression. Similar to the simple-assignment-expression, we can take this as an indirect invocation of the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion.

Reference binding
If we see lvalue-to-rvalue conversion as a way to access the value of an object (plus the creation of a temporary for class type operands), we understand that it's not applied generally for binding to a reference: A reference is an lvalue, it always refers to an object. So if we bound values to references, we'd need to create temporary objects holding those values. And this is indeed the case if the initializer-expression of a reference is a prvalue (which is a value or a temporary object):
int const& lr = 42; // create a temporary object, bind it to `r`
int&& rv = 42;      // same

Binding a prvalue to an lvalue reference is prohibited, but prvalues of class types with conversion functions that yield lvalue references may be bound to lvalue references of the converted type.
The complete description of reference binding in [dcl.init.ref] is rather long and rather off-topic. I think the essence of it relating to this question is that references refer to objects, therefore no glvalue-to-prvalue (object-to-value) conversion.

A: On glvalues: A glvalue ("generalized" lvalue) is an expression that is either an lvalue or an xvalue.
A glvalue may be implicitly converted to prvalue with lvalue-to-rvalue, array-to-pointer, or function-to-pointer implicit conversion.
Lvalue transformations are applied when lvalue argument (e.g. reference to an object) is used in context where rvalue (e.g. a number) is expected.
Lvalue to rvalue conversion
A glvalue of any non-function, non-array type T can be implicitly converted to prvalue of the same type. If T is a non-class type, this conversion also removes cv-qualifiers. Unless encountered in unevaluated context (in an operand of sizeof, typeid, noexcept, or decltype), this conversion effectively copy-constructs a temporary object of type T using the original glvalue as the constructor argument, and that temporary object is returned as a prvalue. If the glvalue has the type std::nullptr_t, the resulting prvalue is the null pointer constant nullptr.

Q: How can I solve the problem of data not passing between views in React Native? I recently started developing apps using React Native.
During development, I needed to move data from a calendar to another view selected by the user.
I used async storage for this process.
Please refer to the following link.
How can I solve the old date displaying error in React Native?
And I made it so that I can pass data in the navigation process without using async storage afterwards.
However, this time, I found that nothing appears on the Detail screen even when February 15 is selected on the calendar.
And this was a problem that occurred even if I selected a date other than February 15th.
I don't know how to solve this problem.
I'm new to React Native development, so I don't know how to solve this problem.
This is my code
App.js
import React from 'react';
import {NavigationContainer} from '@react-navigation/native';
import {createNativeStackNavigator} from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
import HomeScreen from './Home';
import DetailScreen from './Detail';
import { AntDesign } from '@expo/vector-icons';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';

function App() {
  const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Home">
        <Stack.Screen
        name="Home"
        component={HomeScreen}
        options={({}) => ({
          headerBackVisible: false,
          headerRight: () => (
            <AntDesign name="setting" size={24} color="black" />
          ),
        })}
        />
        <Stack.Screen name="Detail" component={DetailScreen}
        options={({ navigation }) => ({
          headerBackVisible: false,
          headerLeft: () => (
            <Ionicons name="arrow-back" size={24} color="black" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Home')} />
          ),
        })}
        />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
};

export default App;

Home.js
import React from 'react';
import {SafeAreaProvider} from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
import {Calendar} from "react-native-calendars";
import {View} from 'react-native';

function HomeScreen({navigation}) {
  const markedDates = {
    '2023-02-01': {marked: true, dotColor: 'red'},
  }
  return(
      <SafeAreaProvider>
         <View>
            <Calendar
              markedDates={markedDates}
              onDayPress={(day) => {
                navigation.push('Detail', {day});
              }}
           />
         </View>
      </SafeAreaProvider>
  );
}

export default HomeScreen;

Detail.js
import React from 'react';
import {SafeAreaProvider} from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
import {View, Text} from 'react-native';

function DetailScreen({route}) {
  const { day } = route.params;

  return(
    <SafeAreaProvider>
      <View>
         <Text>{day}</Text>
      </View>
    </SafeAreaProvider>
  );
}

export default DetailScreen;

And this is my development environment.
OS: macOS Monterey(12.6.3)
Development Program: Visual Studio Code (1.71.1)
Simulator: iPhone 14 (ios 16.2)
React native Version: 9.2.0
And I am using expo go to test it.
If anyone can help me please help.

A: because day value callback onDayPress of Calendar return is a object, you need parse it to string to show in screen. You can console.log(day) in file Detail.js to check pass params
