Katastrofa lotu British Eagle International Airlines 802/6 wydarzyła się 29 lutego 1964 w Alpach austriackich. Samolot Bristol Britannia 312, należący do linii British Eagle International Airlines (lot nr 802/6), lecący z Londynu do Innsbrucka, rozbił się o wschodnie zbocze góry Glungezer. Na pokładzie samolotu znajdowały się 83 osoby (75 pasażerów i 8 członków załogi) — wszyscy zginęli.

Do dziś jest to największa pod względem liczby ofiar katastrofa lotnicza w historii, która wydarzyła się na terytorium Austrii. Nie jest to jednak największa katastrofa lotnicza w historii austriackiego lotnictwa.

Przyczyny katastrofy
Przyczynami katastrofy były:
 gwałtowna burza i spowodowana przez nią ograniczona widoczność,
 błędy w opisach na mapach używanych przez załogę samolotu — wysokość góry Glungezer została tam przedstawiona jako niższa o 400 metrów niż w rzeczywistości.

Narodowości ofiar katastrofy

Through Turkey Giblets to the Stars
Sorry about the lack of a Thanksgiving Day post until now. I've had my hands stuck up the backside of a 19-pound turkey much of this morning when not busy with chopping, peeling, cooking everything to accompany this unexpected behemoth. My family pod is here and trying to help with the feast but as always it seems the challenges expand to meet the people present.
Like the 5-pound bag of sugar which more closely resembled a giant sugar cube.
Or discovering the turkey still solid like a pink fleshy iceberg.
Or beloved spouse deciding to get a jump on sales and buying 10-pounds of hamburger which must be shaped in to patties and frozen right now, in the middle of the circus in my kitchen.
But I'm thankful to have all of this hubbub today generated by my pod — myself, my spouse, my two kids — all of us healthy, masked, and together for this holiday.
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
― Winston Churchill
We have an opportunity to kick a fascist autocrat to the curb, thanks to the tireless efforts of people like Stacey Abrams in Georgia, and Ben Wikler in Wisconsin. Thank you to all the new voters they and others like them encouraged to register and vote, all those neophytes who saw the threat for what it was, who see the promise committing to vote can bring. We owe the chance to save Americans' lives and America's democracy to these folks.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
― John F. Kennedy
"Never separate the life you live from the words you speak."
― Paul Wellstone
Going forward it's on us all to repair the damage of this last four years, to remedy base blemishes built upon over time, to scrape away the palimpsest of colonialism and contemporary racism, misogyny, and xenophobia, starting anew with better, inclusive materials.
May our efforts mirror our best intentions as we strive toward a more perfect union.
"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light."
― Albert Schweitzer
We've had some very dark passages and tough times. We are grateful to those who give us reason to continue to work for social justice and economic democracy for all. We are thankful for you, our community.
Per aspera ad astra. Gratias tibi.
The Fabulous Emptywheel Music Blog: Setting The Scene
Okay, alright, enough of that live music stuff. This weekend, off another suggestion by Emptywheel Roving Reporter Rosalind, let's do music documentaries! These are her remarks:
Music Documentaries (NOT films of live concerts). In 2019 there were several docs I watched that hit the music EW demographic sweet spot, including:
Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice
David Crosby: Remember My Name
Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool
Boy Howdy: The CREEM Magazine Story
Mr. Jimmy – story of a Japanese guitar player who takes his Jimmy Page hero-worship to a whole nother level
Echo In The Canyon – Laurel Canyon music scene, 1/2 OK interviews w/various musicians, 1/2 self-indulgent concert featuring Jakob Dylan performing boring versions of the originals.
The Gordon Lightfoot and Miles Davis docs are ones I would never have thought to seek out and sparked a whole new level of appreciation for the two. The footage of their early musical lives is really something.
Rock on.
The Linda Ronstadt one is truly fabulous. I'll have to look for the Gordon Lightfoot one, but have always loved him. Heard Carefree Highway long ago, and that sits awfully special to people here that actually drive on the Carefree Highway (yes, it really exists).
I'd like to add one music documentary to Rosalind's list: Super Duper Alice Cooper. It is truly fantastic. You may think "eh, I dunno, that's crazy", but it is really good and, I think, available streaming online. And, yes all crazy, but those were the times back then, it "was" crazy.
Also, because this will invariably morph into the greatest music documentaries ever, let me throw in a couple of Scorsese classics: The Last Waltz and Shine The Light.
So have at it, whether music, the NFL draft or whatever. This weekend's scene setting music is…..You Set The Scene by the incomparable Arthur Lee and Love.
Open Thread: Don't Shoot the Freezer
I don't know if it's post-game fatigue and frustration, or if it's the effects of last night's super blood wolf moon eclipse.
Don't know if it's the bitter, killing cold where some of us are located, or if it's cabin fever.
But it looks like some of the regulars are itchy, veering too readily off the road into the ditch.
Whatever reason, it looks like we need a wide-open thread.
Bring your off-topic content here and air it out. Stay on topic in the other threads.
DON'T THINK WE'VE FORGOTTEN YOUR FAILURE TO SERVE THE GREATER PUBLIC GOOD, MITCH MCCONNELL. That goes for the rest of the GOP senate who kowtow to his brand of Trumpist slackerdom, refusing to restrain the toddler tyrant and return government to working order.
Merry Christmas to the emptywheel Community
I'm mostly spending time with family in PA today. Thanks to bmaz for kicking off the holiday cheer with his remembrances post.
I wanted to weigh in, though, and add thanks not just to those who've been putting up with us for over a decade and those we've lost, but for the new commenters and lurkers we've gotten in the last year. One of the highlights of my year came as the host on a KPFA show introduced me before I came on his show. He went on a length talking not about my contributions at this here little blog, but the rich contributions of our readers.
I am enormously grateful that, over a decade after the golden year of blog-dom, our community has persisted and grown, and our comment threads remain a big part of what we offer.
At times the slog of reporting on Trump's abuses gets really heavy. At those times, your support makes it worthwhile.
Thanks to all of you who have been (financial and non-financial) supporters of emptywheel, this year, and over the years.
Merry Christmas. May 2019 bring more good news than bad.
Open Thread: Angst
It's the last weekend in February; I think Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' did such a fine job last weekend I'll enlist another of his works to close this month. This one is called 'Anxiety' in English. In Norway they call it 'Angst'. I think the latter is far more fitting based on definition.
We haven't yet sunk into madness — March Madness, that is. (Don't forget to fill out your bracket if you're into that collegiate basketball-induced insanity.)
But we are definitely suffering from a collective existential dread. How will we climb out of this hole and fix this mess?
In the mean time, dump your burden here. Make light while you can. Remember Tuesday is Mardi Gras, the last guilt-free celebration until Easter for those of who are Catholic or Catholic-by-heritage. Offload your angst in comments and celebrate while you can without a side-eye or shade.
Open Thread: The Scream
Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's most famous work, The Scream, seems most appropriate this week. If you can't think of something that made you want to scream this week, count yourself a lucky person.
With Superbowl done, pro football season is over; that's enough to make some folks scream with frustration if not boredom. Cheer up — there's other sportsing to be had.
NHL regular season doesn't end until April 9, 2017. (Ugh, Red Wings, in the basement? Come the fuck on.)
NBA regular season doesn't end until April 12, 2017. (Pistons smack in the middle of the Eastern Conference. Meh.)
NCAA regular season ends March 5th, beginning March Madness. Start working on your bracket now. (I got nothing. Maybe next year if my kid transfers to a Big 10 school.)
PGA golf tour continues its plodding way with the Genesis Open this week at Riviera Country Club in Palisades, CA. (Yawn.)
I'm sure bmaz will fill us in on critical racing news if there's any this week. I don't think Formula One starts until the last week of March, though.
Me? I'll be watching for Amy Suskind's weekly list of Not Normal events measuring our republic's drift away from sanity into a fascist one-party state. Last week's list was grim and included for the first time items we have now normalized. I can hardly wait to see what's on Week 14's list.
This thread is open. Scream away.
Summer Sports: What's Good This Weekend?
[graphic: chrisinplymouth via Flickr]
I admit it freely — I'm the least sportif member of the Emptywheel team. As years have gone by, sports have lost their shine for me. The full-body contact of politics has been far more interesting.
But I need to get that shine back. My oldest is in a relationship with a sportsy guy, and I need to be able to talk with him without trying too hard and sounding like a total moron.
So, help a girl out. Auto racing. Baseball. Golf. That's all that's in my cable channel lineup right now, and I can't muster enough excitement. Tell me what you think I should look for to get heated up about one of these, and is there something really juicy going on tomorrow?
— NHRA in Briston, TN on ESPN right now looks much as it did over the past couple decades. Is there some big technological breakthrough that makes these races different now than they were pre-2000? Fill me in.
— Folks in my other social media about were using lots of shouty caps about baseball and some guy named Scherzer. What happened? Which is/was the better game to watch: Detroit Tigers v New York Yankees, or LA Dodgers v SF Giants?
— And Tiger Woods has no game left they say, missing the cut at the U.S. Open. I did see this much in my timeline. I imagine poor Papa Earl is rolling in his grave, saying he was right that Tiger could only be stopped by a woman. I think it was the comprehensive use of word, "woman," as in all women. Tiger hasn't really had it together for any length of time since his marriage fell apart. Besides the current golden boy McIlroy, who else should I watch at the U.S. Open?
Golf has a little more appeal for me this summer. I used to play until a handful of years ago, when it just wasn't fun any more. I lost my game, too, couldn't spend enough time on the course. But now my youngest has landed his first job as bag boy at the nearby club. When he comes home after his shift it's a hoot to listen to him describe navigating his inaugural work experience, let alone hear all the goofy things that happened to him on the job.
Like today, his first Saturday morning opening the course — he sent me a text mid-shift that read, HOLY TIPS. Came home with a wad of bills in his pocket, yelling how much he loved old dudes who played golf.
Now for this I can worked up.
emptywheel Takes a Vacation!
This is just a quick post to note that I'll be on vacation, with limited access to the Toobz, for the next two weeks. If something major hits, I may sneak back on and post, but I hope to instead spend quality time with my mom.
bmaz claims he's going to pick up some slack and I know Ed has some quality stuff planned. Hopefully, Rayne will continue to track some of the interesting hacking developments. And Jim's schedule may finally free up enough to resume posting next week.
In the meantime, here's to my mom, who is having a big birthday on Thursday, is a remarkable woman, and put up with me for many years and surely made me a better person along the way (imagine how awful I'd be without her influence?!?!).
Superb Owl Types: Check in Here for NotAllFootBall
Yeah, me, too — I can't do football tonight. Once the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers were knocked out of the running, I didn't have a horse in the race any longer and couldn't muster the whatev to bother following the limp ball debacle.
Instead of watching the game, I'm going to knock something off my To-Be-Watched List this evening. At the top is television series Black Mirror, Season 1, produced by Channel 4 in the UK. It's been a while since I watched some speculative/sci-fi television, and I've heard a LOT of great things about this series from people whose opinions I respect.
Season 1 is available via YouTube; Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream now on Netflix.
If you're not watching the Super Bowl, what are you doing this evening (or very early morning on the other side of the dateline)?
We Found the Plum Pudding!
Sorry I've been absent of late–been either driving or celebrating with family. I did, however, go on a Twitter rant yesterday about the various means of tracking Santa. You can read most of it here.
I hope you're all well and — for those of you on the East coast — enjoying Climate Change Christmas with its balmy temps.
Merry Christmas, and thanks for sharing in our little community here.
[Joinder From bmaz] I was actually just setting down to do a Christmas post when I saw this. No reason to split Christmas up into multiple posts, so we will keep it all here. I too have been fairly busy and on my mobile in stead of computer far too much of the time. But very much want to wish one and all a Merry Christmas.
There is also a more melancholy note I yearly make. A remembrance of friends we have lost. I always pick Christmas Eve or Christmas day to do it because that is when we lost our beloved Mary. Mary died at her farm, with her beloved horses and dogs, on Christmas Eve, 2011. It was a profound loss that longtime friends here know, and one that I wish newer friends could know. We have also lost many other great voices like SisterSara, MadDog, Bob Schacht, John Chandley (aka "Scarecrow"), Susan Kent Davidson (aka "Skdadl"), and many more that are not coming to mind at this moment.
So, as we rejoice in the friends we have, please take a moment to think fondly of those we have lost. Cheers, and salute! to one and all.

We need to keep in mind that God shows us from nature what He intends on doing in the Spiritual. Here is the Great commission 'Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, in Isaiah He said Every knee shall bow to Him and it is a word that He has sworn and He will not revoke it and this word won't return to Him without accomplishing what it was sent out for, and we have Jesus saying that if the son of man be lifted up from the earth He will draw all men unto Himself and there are many promises God has made about the earth over and over throughout scripture, God will not break those promises, it will do you well to find and study them. Yes there is going to be a shake up and yes a mighty shake up and nothing will be ever the same again. Jesus said to pray thy Kingdom Come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, don't you believe this will happen? I look around the internet and I don't see this message. The shake up has to happen with the church first, to bring the church into alignment with God, alignment with His thoughts. When the son of man is lifted up from the earth, who is that? It is Christ in the believer, when we stop thinking as mere man and start thinking as God thinks we are lifted up from the earth and then all men (meaning all people) will be drawn to Him, hear that ALL, I'll say that again because I don't think you heard me, ALL. There is no need for an escape plan, no need to prepare for failure, because Almighty God comes to fulfill His word. He comes as a refiners fire. Even though the mind of man will scream this is not so, and many will oppose the move of God, the refiners fire will bear fruit and will perform the word that God has sent out to do. There will be heaven on earth, because God comes to visit His people, not to take them away, but to cause them to rule, so put away your foolish doctrines of unbelief and start believing in Almighty God that is worthy of our worship. You talk about the end of the world this is the end of the world, it is behold I make all things new. The Son of man is Coming not going.


This time of year is magical for some, but tough for others. Being alone is not easy, but the silver-lining to loneliness that this is a time of exploration, reflection, growth and change.
Some people purposefully choose solitude where others crave and need to be around people all the time. A healthy balance is ideal where one can stand on their own two feet and feel comfortable being alone while enjoying the company of others.
Being alone is based on perception and perspective. Is your glass half empty or half full?
I will be officially divorced in December, and because I did the inner-work, this may yet be the best holiday season to come...standing in solitude and celebrating being in the driver's seat of my life. I choose what I want to do and where I want to go all being thankful for every opportunity that comes my way.


If you are lucky enough to get away this season on a holiday away, there are a few things to remember before you leave the house. As most people are aware, the holidays are prime time for break-ins and thefts. Thankfully, there are a few precautions to take that can greatly reduce the risks involved in leaving your home empty.
Having someone pop in and check on the house while you are gone is incredibly important. However, that isn't always possible. Another helpful option is having a friendly neighbor stop by and collect any papers that are delivered, as a newspaper pile-up is an obvious giveaway that you aren't home. Another clue that you may not be home, is closing your blinds or curtains. As tempting as it is to pull down the shades so nobody can look in while you are gone, it actually has the opposite effect, and is a telltale sign that you aren't there. Many people use timers on indoor lights to create the illusion that family members are home during the evening. If you want to take it one step further, a product called WeMo is easily programmed to your mobile device. With this, you are able to control the lights from anywhere, and at varying times throughout the day or night. This method is less predictable than a timer set for the same time every evening. Another temptation that many of us have, is to brag about our upcoming holiday, or to post to social media while away. You don't know who will be listening or who will be reading your comments, so it is probably best to keep your close family and friends in the loop only. Plus, you can brag when you get back! Lastly, make sure that your home insurance covers any possible accidents that could occur while you are away. It may seem like a no-brainer, but many policies include exclusions that can render them void. This may include the amount of days you are gone, or if a house-sitter is living in your home during this time.
Of course, all of these tips are not meant to create paranoia, or deter you from leaving the house! The main idea is that you and your family can enjoy your holiday with a little peace of mind. Who would want to worry while sitting in the sand with a margarita?
Warmer days are finally upon us!

W3C Standards: What Are They All About?
What is the W3C and what do they do?
The World Wide Web Consortium, known as W3C for short, is the main international web monitoring standards organisation for the Internet. The W3C also provides a validation process (conveniently named W3C Validation) that checks website code adheres to the formatting standards designed and implemented by the World Wide Web Consortium. When planning a professional website, you need to understand the importance of having it W3C validated. If you fail to validate the pages of your website against W3C standards, your website will be affected by a higher rate of errors or poor traffic caused by poor visual formatting and readability.
What is the point of W3C Validation?
W3C validation provides tools for debugging and correcting code, ensuring websites are properly formatted according to the internationally recognised W3C standards. A validated website demonstrates the technical quality of every page.
What does the W3C validator look for?
Designed to automatically detect and highlight coding errors, the validation process checks the HTML, XHTML, and CSS code used in web pages to make sure they are well-formatted and well-structured according to W3C standards.
Can W3C Validation errors be ignored?
Websites that are W3C validated are easier to use and offer improved functionality than other, non-validated sites because they are less likely to run into errors when displayed on web browsers . The website validation process allows website designers to correct formatting errors thus allowing readers to move through each page unhindered. Additionally, by following international standards, the code used in websites is reduced in size speeding up loading time – a key factor in improving the visitor's experience.
With mobile browsing increasing rapidly, website owners need to maximise the usability of their websites on smartphones and tablets. If you want to reach the widest audience possible, accessibility should be a big factor in designing a site that is W3C validated.
Because W3C validation was designed by the World Wide Web Consortium, it has become the official tool for assessing how well website code is written and formatted, testing the structure and quality of web pages and the code used in their construction. Websites whose web pages have been validated are considered of higher quality because they adhere to strict web site formatting and quality guidelines.
Do W3C validation errors affect SEO?
W3C validation allows website owners to simplify and improve the code used on their web pages, improving page load speeds. Search engine spiders crawl and index the content of each web page, and the code used in its construction, taking note of how quickly the page loads – the faster the page loads, the better the search engine ranks the site. If you value traffic and visitors, then SEO should be a major reason for W3C validation of your website.
Will Google penalise websites with W3C validation errors?
Google currently does not prevent non-validated websites from appearing in search results, but validation makes a huge impact on actual ranking and positioning in the results. Non-validated websites slow the progress of Google's spiders, making it harder to get information they need for Google to index content. Google favours well-built websites in search results because they tend to deliver a better user-experience. If you want your website to rank higher in Google results, you should have your website W3C validated.
There are no special tips to building an error-free website beyond adhering to the relevant HTML, XHTML, CSS standards and the W3C guidelines. But here at Green River Media we ensure that that those rules and guidelines are respected during the design and build process, validating every new section, module, and page when it is finished. If we detect errors during the design and build phase it is easier to correct immediately, before the project is completed. We also re-run validation at the end of the project to identify any errors that may have crept in during the final stages of development.

Scientists Harvest More Eggs From Near-extinct Northern White Rhino
PH August 19, 2020, 9:19 am
ZAMBIA – 2014/06/16: White rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park near Livingston in Zambia. (Photo by Wolfgang Kaehler/LightRocket via Getty Images)
Scientists racing to save the northern white rhino from extinction have harvested 10 more eggs from the last two females alive which they hope will help create viable embryos that can be incubated by other rhinos acting as surrogates.
Neither of the remaining northern white rhinos on Earth – a mother and her daughter – can carry a baby to term, so scientists want to implant the embryos into southern white rhinos instead.
The last male northern white rhino, named Sudan, died in Kenya's Ol Pejeta Conservancy in 2018.
The northern white rhino once wandered through east and central Africa but, as with other rhino species, its numbers plummeted due to heavy poaching.
Northern white rhinos – now the world's most endangered mammal – have hairier ears and tails, are shorter and stockier and have different genes than their southern cousins.
Scientists first harvested eggs from the females a year ago, as part of a team from the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya Wildlife Service, Italian-based Avantea Lab, the Czech Republic's Dvůr Králové Zoo, and the Germany-based Leibniz Institute for Zoo & Wildlife Research.
They produced three pure northern white rhino embryos that are now frozen. But the scientists realised they must synchronise implanting embryos with the reproductive cycle of the surrogate mothers. The more embryos they have, the better.
One potential snag is that humans do not know how to detect when the time to insert the embryo is right.
Enter the romantic decoy.
A southern white rhino bull will be sterilised, transported to Ol Pejeta and set loose among potential surrogate mothers. His response will signal when they are on heat.
"Thanks to his activities we would be able to identify the right time for inserting the embryo," team coordinator Jan Stejskal, from Dvůr Králové Zoo, told Reuters.
"We start early in the morning, the first female is immobilised and then the procedure lasts for about two hours," Stejskal said of the egg harvest.
The eggs are so delicate they must be immediately flown to a laboratory in Europe in an incubator hand-carried by a scientist.
"If you want to start a population of the northern white rhino, one baby is not enough, you need as many babies as possible," Stejskal said.

Housatonic Council of the Boy Scouts of America to dedicate structure at Goshen scout camp June 9
Published 12:00 am EDT, Friday, June 1, 2012
GOSHEN -- The Housatonic Council of the Boy Scouts of America will recognize the generous contribution of the William C. Bassett Shower House dedicated in honor of the Bassett Family on Saturday, June 9 at 11:00 AM at Camp Edmund D. Strang Scout Reservation located at 278 West Pond Road, Goshen, Connecticut. Luncheon will be served.
The current shower house was constructed in 1962 with a donation from the Bassett Family. The shower house was built to Boy Scout standards at the time, a time when "gang showers" were the norm and the Scouting program stressed "roughing it." The shower house has served Scouting well for 50 years.
In keeping with changing society expectations, the new shower house features eight showers with private stalls, two lavatories, and one handicapped-accessible restroom offering both a shower and a lavatory. In addition, a new septic system complies with local health codes and exemplifies environmentally responsible construction. The privacy afforded by the new shower house makes the camp appeal strongly to co-ed groups, including schools and church groups.
Owned and operated by the Housatonic Council, and located in the foothills of Litchfield County, Strang Scout Reservation's 186 acres of forest, fields, and streams provide an excellent back drop to an exciting program. The Camp, now in its fiftieth season, has been a training ground for many Scouts who later grew to be leaders in the community. The Camp serves hundreds of boys and young adults from the Lower Naugatuck Valley.
Bassett is chairman of the board of W.E. Bassett Company, a family-owned business, founded in 1939 in Derby. An active business and community leader, Bassett is chairman of the board of Birmingham Group Health Services, a founding member of the Valley Community Foundation, board member of Latex International of Shelton, a founding member of MAC Casualty as well as a founding member and past chairman of the Manufacturing Alliance of Connecticut.
"Bill Bassett is an outstanding leader not only in the Lower Naugatuck Valley, but also throughout the State of Connecticut," said Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti, Chair of the Building Committee. Other committee members included Dr. Gregory Egnaczyk, Royal Wells, William McDonnell and Pat and Rudy Gajdosik.
The total cost of the project was $300,000. Along with a significant contribution from the Bassett Family, the Housatonic Council received major funding from the Katharine Matthies Foundation, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, Bruce N. Griffing Trust, the Valley Community Foundation and numerous friends of the Housatonic Council. The Council is grateful to the Fletcher Thompson Architecture and Engineering Firm, headquartered in Shelton, for their donation of the architectural design and engineering documents of the shower house.
The Primrose Construction Company of Bridgeport were the general contractors. President and CEO John N. Guedes was instrumental in getting the project completed and within budget.
About The Housatonic Council
Organized in 1920, the Housatonic Council serves the Lower Naugatuck Valley communities of Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton.
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Q: Is it possible to call a method before shutdown an android phone? I want to call a method before shotdown or restart an android phone.

A: As they said on the official site

Broadcast Action: Device is shutting down. This is broadcast when the device is being shut down (completely turned off, not sleeping). Once the broadcast is complete, the final shutdown will proceed and all unsaved data lost. Apps will not normally need to handle this, since the foreground activity will be paused as well.
As of Build.VERSION_CODES#P this broadcast is only sent to receivers registered through Context.registerReceiver.

The exterior of your home serves two very important purposes—first and foremost, it keeps water and pests out. Protecting the interior of your home from damage. Its second purpose is to create curb appeal, conveying your sense of style and making a statement about who lives there. While you may not give it much thought, your exterior trim system serves to tie those two functions together—bringing together your roof and siding, protecting your home from weather and accenting the architectural style of your home.
Most homeowners are somewhat familiar with siding terms, such as board and batten or shingles, but you probably aren't aware of the many types of exterior trim on your home. We talked to Rob Rabago, Product Manager for Trim & Mouldings at Royal Building Products, to review some of the most common terms used in exterior trim.
Column Wraps: A four-sided trim wrap designed to fit over an existing porch column.
Trim Board: Trim boards, or moulding pieces, cover the joints between different surfaces and materials.
Surround: Surrounds are the trim pieces that fit around windows and doors.
T-Moulding: A t-shaped piece of moulding used at the door threshold to join two surfaces - for example the interior flooring and the doorway.
J-Channel: J-shaped trim that is used to finish edges of siding.
Drip Cap: A piece of trim that deflects water away from the top of vertical siding.
Fascia Boards: Trim that brings your roof eaves or overhangs, giving them lateral rigidity.
Frieze Boards: Horizontal trim pieces you see at the top of your siding where it meets the eave or soffit line.
Rake Boards: An inclined trim piece that angles along roof gables or exposed peaks.
Soffits: Soffits sit under your eaves and protect the underside of your lower roof from the elements. They also prevent pests from nesting.
Boxends: Where the corners of frieze and rake boards meet with soffits and siding.
When installed correctly, PVC exterior trim is a maintenance-free detail on your home that adds protection and curb appeal.

Green rush: The budding, complex world of online cannabis sales
Katie Evans | Jan 18, 2018
With California joining the pot of states legalizing use of recreational marijuana, many companies inch closer to offering full online sales and delivery of cannabis. Meanwhile, other services use the web to facilitate marijuana distribution in different ways.
When it comes to e-commerce and cannabis, there's a lot of gray mixed in with the green.
The rapid and quickly spreading legalization of cannabis is leading savvy entrepreneurs to launch services that make it more convenient for shoppers to pick and choose from a variety of strains, compare prices and order their indulgences or medicine from the comfort of their couch, and for dispensaries to find and purchase the products they will resell.
However, marijuana sales are largely stuck at "almost e-commerce," says Alan Brochstein, founder of 420 Investor, a subscription-based portal for investors offering data on marijuana companies, and of New Cannabis Ventures, a content aggregation site for the cannabis industry. That means consumers can order online for pick up at a dispensary or get cannabis delivered but then have to pay cash at the door.
An Amazon-like site for cannabis is a good idea, and it's not new, but the current federal illegality of the herb makes the idea difficult to execute, says Brochstein. Each state has different laws surrounding the purchase and use of marijuana. "It's hard to scale when you are state by state by state," he says. "Who opens an e-commerce site only targeting Chicago? It's very tough."
It may be a little herb, but marijuana is a big—and increasingly legal—business in the U.S. As of 2018, eight states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws legalizing marijuana for recreational use.
Most recently, California joined the pot on Jan. 1. In Massachusetts, retail sales of cannabis are expected to start in July, according to Governing.com, a media site covering politics, policy and management for state and local government leaders. Meanwhile, the majority of states allow for limited use of medical marijuana under certain circumstances, Governing.com says.
It's hard to scale when you are state by state by state.
Legal cannabis, hemp and marijuana sales in North America grew 34% last year, and they're slated to grow by an average of 26% annually through 2021, according to ArcView, a research group for the legal marijuana industry. Spending on legal cannabis in the U.S. will reach $20.8 billion by 2021 and will generate $39.6 billion in overall economic impact, 414,000 jobs, and more than $4 billion in tax receipts, ArcView says.
But for now, the vast majority of that spending by consumers is paid for in person, not online. Beyond complex state-by-state regulations, full-on weed e-commerce is also stalled because many cannabis retailers will only accept cash payments. Banks, many of which are federally insured, don't want to risk legal woes from the U.S. government, which regulates banking. Cannabis remains illegal under federal law. This makes credit card payments for cannabis rare.
"Federal illegality impacts [online] payment processing," Brochstein says. "It's possible that cannabis could remain federally illegal but that Congress could create a safe harbor for non-cash payments, but there is no sign of that happening anytime soon. Until there is a payment solution, we will have only almost e-commerce."
CanPay, a debit payment service, offers a payment method beyond cash. It facilitates electronic payments between consumers and retailers in highly-regulated and emerging markets, including the cannabis industry. Financial institutions apply to be a part of the CanPay network and merchants with a bank account at one of those institutions can accept CanPay debit transactions from customers who have signed up for a CanPay debit account.
Hawaii is the first state to make a major push for cashless cannabis payments. In September, Gov. David Ige and state financial institutions commissioner Iris Ikeda said CanPay, through an agreement with Safe Harbor Private Banking, will process sales transactions at retail dispensaries in the state.
Still "near e-commerce" remains the norm in many areas, and it still offers benefits over bricks-and-mortar such as online price comparisons, a wider selection, delivery and ordering online ahead for faster pickup at a dispensary, Brochstein says.
In California, Eaze, Meadow and GreenRUSH Delivery all in various ways connect dispensaries with consumers via the web. Getmeadow.com, for example, is an on-demand directory connecting patients to dispensaries for cannabis delivery. It also operates Meadow MD, a telemedicine platform connecting patients to physicians for online evaluations for medical marijuana prescriptions.
In 2016 Getmeadow launched Meadow Platform, a software-as-a-service platform for California dispensaries to offer cannabis retail sales and delivery. It includes tools for inventory management, analytics, online and mobile ordering, delivery tracking and logistics, compliance and patient intake.
A blog post on Eaze.com touted how to incorporate cannabis into holiday gift giving.
Eaze, meanwhile, which launched in 2014 and bills itself as a marijuana technology company, connects cannabis product brands, dispensaries and doctors to customers via the web through its site and app.
To use the service, a consumer must register with her email and phone number and submit a picture of her ID to verify her age. Eaze then texts her back once approved and she can order her goods for delivery, although she must pay when the product is delivered. The service, which started for medical marijuana users, connecting consumers with doctors and offering online medical forms, says it has amassed 350,000 users in California. A similar service, called GreenRUSH, also collects payments on delivery.
Marijuana delivery is popular among fans of the herb. In its Eaze Insights: 2017 State of Cannabis data report released today, Eaze says it delivered marijuana every 10 seconds in 2017, a 200% increase over 2016, when it was delivered every 30 seconds. The report is based on a survey of 15,000 consumers and Eaze's database of 350,000 consumers. An Eaze spokesman says it's too early for Eaze to share data on orders through its site since cannabis was was made legal for recreational use in California on Jan. 1 .
2019 Online Marketplaces Report
"After Californians voted for adult [recreational] use in November 2016, many consumers shifted their mindset and became more open to using cannabis to improve their everyday lives," says Jim Patterson, CEO of Eaze. "Americans are becoming better educated about the wellness benefits offered by cannabis. As prohibition ends and a new era of marijuana emerges in 2018, we'll see increased awareness drive diverse product adoption among new groups of people and continue to change lives for the better."
The Eaze report also finds:
The number of baby boomers ordering marijuana increased 19% in 2017 compared with a year earlier, the highest of any generation. Vaporizers and edibles are most popular among millennials, while tinctures are most popular among baby boomers.
On Inauguration Day 2017 (Jan. 20), Eaze sales increased 21%, making it the seventh-most popular holiday for ordering cannabis, more than Cinco De Mayo (May 5), Memorial Day weekend and Mother's Day. Other popular days include government holidays such as President's Day and the July Fourth, which ranked as the third- and sixth-most popular delivery days, respectively.
Consumers favor ready-to-use, convenient consumption methods like vaporizers, edibles and prerolled marijuana cigarettes. In 2017, vaporizer sales increased 191% and preroll sales increased 267% from 2016. Sales of loose marijuana, on the other hand, are wilting, having dropped 43% over the past year.
Consumers are turning to marijuana as a wellness product for things like sleeplessness, anxiety, joint pain and other ailments. 45% of respondents said they replaced sleeping pills with marijuana.
Eaze grew the number of products available via its platform by 277% in 2017, to 381 products from 101.
Spending by females on Eaze increased 20% in 2017.
Meanwhile, other web-based services like marketplace LeafLink Inc. are using the web to connect marijuana growers and brands with retailers. LeafLink, which launched in 2016 and now employs 25, facilitated $18.2 million worth of transactions in December and is on track to facilitate $500 million worth of B2B marijuana transactions in 2108, says Ryan Smith, LeafLink's 26 year-old co-founder.
Everything is changing so fast. People say one year in the marijuana industry is like seven anywhere else.
Cannabis retailers have typically managed their ordering process through email, text messages and phone calls with a decentralized web of cannabis flower, edible, concentrate and topical vendors, LeafLink says. "As a purchasing manager at a dispensary you might have 25 to 50 brands on your shelves, and you used to have to get emails, PDFs, text messages and phone calls from brands about what was available and when. It was old school," Smith says.
The LeafLink marketplace enables them to place all orders in one legally compliant shopping website. The cannabis vendors then manage their incoming orders using the platform's business tools, including CRM, data reporting, order status tracking and fulfillment, the company says. LeafLink does not process payments, however.
"LeafLink is an order management platform, so the orders are done online through our platform, but the brands and retailers handle their payments as they always have offline," Smith says. "There are challenges around banking in the industry, so right now we don't provide that service. Companies settle in person."
1,850 dispensaries use the platform and 450 brands sell through it, LeafLink says.
To use the marketplace, a dispensary sends its state license to LeafLink for review and once approved, LeafLink will display marijuana brands that the specific dispensary is legally allowed to purchase based on state regulations. "Retailers only see what's they are allowed to purchase based on state rules, "Smith says.
LeafLink, which has raised $14 million from investors, collects a monthly fee for brands to list on its marketplace; the service is free for retailers. LeafLink recruits buyers and sellers mainly though its team of eight sales people but also though online advertising. But marketing is tricky for the industry, he says.
Facebook Inc., Google and Apple Inc.'s app store have a range of constantly changing rules about words and images related to cannabis, Smith says. "On one platform you maybe can't put up a picture of a marijuana leaf, so you may have to put up a picture of your logo instead," Smith says. "I know one cannabis company with an app that took two years to get approved by the iOS app store."
Smith's partner at LeafLink came from from eBay Inc., and LeafLink built all its technology in-house. The company is always adapting to the ever-changing regulations in the industry, Smith says. "It's very much a living project," he says. "In California for example, we are basically building out our structure while they're drafting their regulations. Everything is changing so fast. People say one year in the marijuana industry is like seven anywhere else."

Q: How to get IP address of the launched instance with Boto I am launching instance in openstack using boto
myinstance = conn.run_instances('ami-0000007d',min_count=1,max_count=1, instance_type = 'm1.small')

newmachine=myinstance.instances[0]

newMachine has the info related to the launched instance. I have tried
vars(newmachine)

and the ip_address and private_ip_address of variables are empty. How can I obtain the ip_address of the launched instance ?

A: Refresh the value until the instance enters Running state. At that point, the IP should be present (not that there's anything you could do with the IP before the instance is in running state).
reservation = conn.run_instances(...)

instance = reservation.instances[0]

while instance.update() != "running":
    time.sleep(5)  # Run this in a green thread, ideally

print instance.ip_address

Written by Brendan Wilhide in Social Media in Sports
As Director of Interactive Media for the Boston Celtics, Peter Stringer (@PeterStringer) oversees the social media entities of one of the NBA's most successful, storied and beloved franchises. I caught up with Stringer recently and asked him about social media, engagement, mobile apps and how job seekers can help their cause through social media.
What is your primary objective in representing the Celtics brand via social media?
We can only host so many fans in our arena throughout the season, but there's seemingly no end to the amount of fans who want to experience the Celtics whether it's in the arena, on TV, the radio or online. Our fans actively seek out Celtics content and we need to have a presence everywhere our fans are willing to engage with us. Social media platforms allow us to direct interact with those fans without the middle-man, and it's a powerful tool for us, given the massive audience we've built on social media. Right now, at almost 1.9 million Facebook fans, we're the third largest team sports brand in North America, and at 85,000 followers, the fourth largest (North American team sports) team on Twitter.
What is the biggest challenge facing an NBA team (or any pro sports team) when it comes to social media?
The biggest challenge is the pace of change. It's constant, there's always something new to learn, and the rules of engagement and technology change on a daily basis. Facebook loves to roll out new rules or features with little or no notice and as marketers, we have to be ready to adapt. And from a league standpoint, some of the rules that are in place hamper our ability to market to some of our most passionate fans. Leagues really need to rethink how teams are allowed to engage fans and leverage corporate partners, and not just inside their own marketing territory. There's opportunities well outside a team's DMA upon which they currently aren't allowed to capitalize.
How does your organization view players on social media? Does the organization like/dislike having players who tweet?
There's nothing we can do to stop them. We can advise players on how to best use these technologies, but at the end of the day, they now have a platform to interact with their fans directly, or "quote themselves," if you will. Some guys like it, others want nothing to do with it. For us, it's a brave new world and every team has to adjust to the idea that guys may make missteps with regard to how they use these platforms, and we have less control over the messages that our players disseminate. It's not going away so teams will have to learn to adjust and deal with situations as they arise.
Recently Shaq caused a stir by posing as a statue with fans in Harvard Square for one hour. How did this idea come about? What is the team's stance on players holding social media contests independent of the team?
That was all Shaq. He's new with us this season, so we're still learning about him as a personality, but he certainly doesn't shy away from interacting with our fans off the court. I don't think that's a bad thing. For us, website traffic is way up this season, and I have to believe that as one of the most recognizable people on the planet, Shaq's driving some of that increase. People are more excited about the Celtics this season and Shaq is one of many reasons why.
In what ways do the audiences on Facebook and Twitter differ? Do the Celtics approach each audience differently? Why or why not?
We're still learning. Our Facebook audience dwarfs our Twitter following, so in terms of scale alone, they're very different. And I think that fans interact with us on these platforms for different reasons. Part of the appeal of becoming a Facebook fan is that our logo shows up on people's profiles and I think fans are proud of that affiliation. I don't think Twitter offers that same sensation; Twitter fans want short, timely updates from us.
Either way, on both platforms, we are careful not to "spam" our fans and we want to make sure that we're providing a lot of value while occasionally marketing to them. If the only thing a fan gets from us on Facebook is ticket marketing, they'll probably get sick of hearing from us pretty quickly. We want to provide them with news, info and items of interest, and occasionally, put a ticket offer in front of them. One thing we do know is that about 75 percent of our digital fans live outside of New England, so it's unlikely those folks are going to be regular ticket buyers. But that doesn't mean we don't want to interact with them, and that we can't monetize them down the road.
One thing few pro teams have done is develop their own mobile applications for selling tickets and merchandise. Do the Celtics have plans to develop such an application in the near future? If no then what are challenges are in place that currently prevent teams from adopting this technology?
We're exploring our options in the mobile space right now; the NBA just this summer loosened their restrictions around what teams can do, but we are just now getting a chance to explore the options. I'll say this, we're not going to just throw something out there for the sake of it, and simply offering your website repackaged as a mobile app is not a sophisticated play. There's plenty of inexperienced vendors out there trying to get into the space and pitching us all the time, but if we're going to do something in that space, it has to be something worth downloading and the technology has to be sound.
You oversaw the development of the Celtics' popular Facebook game "3 Point Play" and the team's "GameTime Live" stat tracking application last season. How did these entities come about? What are the team's plans for them in the future?
GameTime Live is something I actually developed myself on nights and weekends three years ago, leveraging the NBA's existing XML data feeds. I don't really have a CS background (I went to journalism school) but I know enough to be dangerous, and was able to build it out with some jQuery, XML and a CoverItLive's incredible live blogging tool. The concept was simple: we needed to give fans a compelling reason to be on our website during the game, when traffic naturally spiked anyway as fans were looking to check the score. Now GameTime Live fans are staying on the site for an average of 30 minutes per visitor. That's incredible engagement and fans love to chat about the game while they're watching it. After our first season, the NBA took it a step further with their TV companion application, which is now available to every team around the league.
3-Point Play was something we conceived of here and we were the first NBA team to launch a Facebook app. The concept was simple: How do we get fans out of Facebook and into our database, while giving them a fun, easy-to-play game that allows them to compete with their friends and win Celtics prizes? That's where 3-Point Play was born. We went to Isobar North America to help us build the game, and spent almost the entire summer last year building it from scratch. And from the business side, it was a huge success, and we're excited to have re-launched it for this season.
As for the future, we're always thinking about what's next…we've got a few ideas cooking but nothing we're ready to share at this point.
Can you identify one essential element of a social media campaign that is often overlooked in the sports industry? How and why should teams approach this element differently?
Well, I think it boils down to this: social media sounds sexy, gets plenty of press, and it certainly is something every sports marketer needs to understand, but I think too many people overlook the database. Every digital platform you own should be a funnel into your team's database. If you're not capturing data, you're missing the point. Maybe five years ago, your website was considered the center of your team's digital marketing. But these days, the website is just a spoke on the wheel alongside your social channels, mobile devices and email marketing. As fans' behaviors continue to evolve, you need to be agile and engage them where they are spending their time, and finding ways to get these fans into your database.
Plenty of eager would be employees are trying to stand out through social media. As a team executive, do you think potential employees can help their cause through their use of social media? Conversely can an application hurt their cause through their use of social media? Given today's landscape, how important is a strong grasp of social media in an applicant's overall portfolio?
Absolutely. Anyone who wants to establish their own brand should be utilizing LinkedIn, Twitter, and a blog (remember blogs?) to get their name out there and "own" their digital identity. That said, just because you have a Facebook page or Twitter account doesn't mean you're a social media expert. I still think the people who will set themselves apart in the social media marketing landscape will be those who have a solid background in analytics or technology development. Just being a Facebook junky isn't enough.
What's one emerging trend in social media that will dominate the sports industry in the next year or so?
Analytics. There's more data out there than Twitter and Facebook are sharing at this point. When that data becomes more available, whether it's through third party vendors who exploit the APIs, or the companies themselves offering teams and marketers better tools, it will be a huge step forward for teams as they try to understand and capitalize on their growing social media fan bases.
