Installing a marine VHF radio on board your boat in either a fixed or handheld form is highly recommended. You cannot predict when you may find yourself in trouble and if you do not have anyway of calling for help, you will be in serious trouble.
This article is for those requiring further information regarding the functionality of a VHF marine radio and how it can benefit the way they use the device when out to sea. Information regarding the marine radio frequencies, nautical radio signal and weather channels will ensure you get the most out of your VHF radio.
Today, majority of radios are designed with a display. This is done to offer a glimpse at the settings and the ability of interacting with the many functions. Unlike smartphones that have a graphical user interface, the best boat vhf radio is fitted with a dot matrix display.
Instead of icons, users have to get used to numbers available in seven segments. This means the display is able to show seven individual elements in form of rectangular numerals. One thing you need to understand about VHF radios is that they come in handy during emergencies only and that is why they are not decked out with features similar to those found in smartphones.
The dot matrix display shows the battery life indicator, volume level, latitude, longitude, time, location and channel number among other useful information. These functions have been made simpler to allow users make the most out of any situation. Thanks to the monochrome pattern of dark and light elements, users are able to select functions quickly. Furthermore, it allows one to read different settings with ease.
One thing you need to know is that noise pollution from a wide range of electronic and mechanical equipment has been found to result in stress, difficulty in communication and impaired hearing. This affects one's health as well as productivity. That is why modern VHF radios are fitted with active noise reduction technology. The technology comes with unique cutting edge features that are compact and cost effective. They help to deliver more than 10db noise reduction across the audio spectrum.
The technology works when the noise cancellation speaker emits a sound wave which has the same amplitude but with an inverted phase to the original sound. These results in the waves combining to form a single wave through a process called interference. The new wave cancels out the noise providing clarity to the listener. Today, digital signal processing chips are used which are fused with adaptive algorithms designed to analyze waves.
With this technology in your VHF radio, you are assured of clarity during communication. Your sounds will be more audible than ever.
According to marine vhf radio reviews, it is wise to invest in a VHF radio that comes with multiple scanning functions. Selecting models that have either dual watch or Triwatch allows you to stay alert when fishing or boating. Thanks to the scanner, boat owners are able to monitor channels like Channel 16 to check for traffic every other time.
One thing you need to know is that every boat owner has a duty to respond to any distress call. If another boat owner sends out a mayday signal, other boat owners within the vicinity have to respond. For the Triwatch scanner, it helps to add VHF channel 9. This is important in areas where difficulty exists when it comes to chatter. While it monitors both Channel 16 and 9, it allows you to listen to another selected channel.
Today, VHF radios are fitted with modern microprocessors which allow the unit to scan and monitor over hundred channels per second. These channels can be stored in the unit for later retrieval. The scanning function offers a simpler way of monitoring communications especially in emergency situations.
With the tag scan features, users have the ability of selecting any number of Channels to monitor.
As a boat owner, what you need to know is that this service is offered to all mariners by the US Coast Guard as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. The service is designed to allow mariners the ability of sending automatically formatted distress alerts to the US Coast Guard or any other rescue authority around the world.
It is engineered to start and receive distress, urgency, safety and routine authority radio telephone calls to and from vessels or shore stations. Thanks to this service, boat owners don't have to be near a radio loud speaker. The feature acts like a dial and bell of a telephone. It enables the making of direct dial and ring to other mariners quickly.
What you need to know as a shopper is that this feature has been around since 1999 in all radios. It is actually required by law to have this feature as an operating mode.
Not only will mariners be able to send out automated distress signals from their boat to a shore rescue station around the world but they will send their identity within the VHF range. This helps to lock in their current position enabling a quicker rescue.
Nothing spells trouble than a rough sea. To be safe, it is important to be updated regularly regarding weather. That is why you need the best marine vhf radio. Thanks to technology, VHF radios can receive automatic weather alerts from renowned agencies like the NOAA.
This is an agency that enriches life through science. Not only do they provide weather forecasts, they provide severe storm warnings and climate monitoring to coastal restoration, fisheries management and fellow mariners. Its scientists use cutting edge research and high tech equipment to provide you with reliable information that allows faster decision making when at sea.
To ensure safety when fishing, you need a receiver that incorporates the Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) system. This is mandatory. What you need to know is that radios with SAME technology usually alert for emergencies anywhere within the coverage range of the NWR transmitter.
That is why you are required to program the receiver with your country, marine area or independent city. Avoid programming the radio for louder or clearer station not designated as a SAME channel. Why? Your radio will not receive alerts that will provide early warning about any incoming disaster early enough for you to make the best decision.

Test Your Internet Speed: Tools and Apps Ranked Best to Worst
We test-drove all of the internet speed test options so you can easily tell whether you're getting your money's worth from your ISP or wireless carrier.
Internet Speed Tools and Apps Ranked Best to Worst
In a world dominated by site surfing, speed is everything. And unfortunately, there are times when you just don't get what you pay for.
That's why there is a variety of browser- and app-based tool to check your internet speed. By using these tools, you can see just how fast your internet connection speed is -- or isn't. It'll also provide some insight into the kind of content you can access (video requires much faster speed, especially 4K), and tell you if you need to upgrade your internet access plan.
Here are the best (and worst) tools for online and mobile speed tests you can put in your arsenal.
Make the most of your fast connection with the best fast VPN
SpeedSmart Speed Test
SpeedSmart offers an HTML5 option for you to test your speed, so you don't need Flash. Once you get to the site, it'll immediately determine your IP address and location, and decide where to ping a server. From there, SpeedSmart analyzes your latency, download and upload speeds. And it does it all without forcing you to wait too long to get your results. The site's design is simple, making it easy for novices to understand what's going on with their internet connections.Credit: SpeedSmart
Internet Health Test
Internet Health Test is a simple tool that gets the job done. When you head to the site, a pop-up will ask you to begin testing your connection. Once you click it, Internet Health Test will start a five-step process to analyze your connection. While it takes longer than most, those five steps will tell you how fast your average connection speed is over five different tests. Best of all, there are no ads that detract from the experience.Credit: Internet Health Test
Speed Check & WiFi Finder (App)
If you'd rather try out your internet connection on the go, there are apps for that. One of them is the Speed Check & WiFi Finder from SpeedSpot. The well-designed app will give you the basic information you want to know, like download and upload speeds, but also lets you save it, so you can see how your internet connection is changing throughout the day as you move from place to place. Best of all, it's a free download.Credit: Speedspot
Editor's Note: Xfinity Speed Test is a product of the Comcast corporation, an internet service provider.
The Xfinity Speed Test is a handy tool for quickly determining your internet speed. The browser-based service takes just a few seconds to quickly determine your download and upload speeds, and will even tell you what your latency is across the network. Like the others, it'll automatically choose a server to ping in order to measure your speeds. The service isn't bogged down by ads, which is refreshing.Credit: Xfinity
SourceForge Internet Speed Test
The folks over at SourceForge have a handy internet speed test that you can try out from within the browser. It's not the simplest or best-looking tool, but it gives you download, update and latency information, as well as another important data point: packet loss. With that information, you can determine how reliable your connection really is. The SourceForge test is generally fast and easy to understand. Best of all, it doesn't require Flash like some others.

Netflix's Fast.com
Netflix's Fast.com's internet speed test is, well, fast. It doesn't waste any time by asking you to click buttons or display ads. Instead, it loads quickly and -- as soon as you see it -- the analysis starts. Netflix provides the information so you can determine what video-quality settings you should have in its account. It also could be used to badger your ISP to ensure you're getting fast-enough speeds. Fast.com is quick, but it won't give you information on upload and latency speeds, if you're looking for that.Credit: Fast.com
Verizon Speed Test
Verizon's Speed Test is one of the simpler options available. There are no ads or annoying text boxes to contend with, and you simply need to hit a play button to get it going. And once it gets going, the tool performs its tests in about a minute. That's not the best in this roundup, but it is quite good. Best of all, Verizon provides a bit more context on your findings. In my case, it said I should be able to download a 5GB HD movie in 10 minutes with my connection.

Ookla's Speedtest is one of the more popular tools for internet speed tests out there. The app, which is available in your browser or in a mobile app, has a simple "Go!" button that lets you determine how fast your speeds really are. The service takes about a minute to complete its download and upload speed tests and will tell you what your IP address is. Unfortunately, it's overrun with ads.Credit: Ookla
Network Analyzer (App)
The Network Analyzer test for your iPhone includes many more features than a standard internet speed test, including the ability to scan VPNs, wake-on-LAN for corporate use, and much more. But it also includes an internet speed test tool that will provide insight into your download and upload speeds over time. The app is a bit more sophisticated than other speed-test apps, but it's ideal for corporate or power users who want more information. It costs $3.99 in the App Store.Credit: Network Analyzer
DSLReports offers its own speed test tool for those who want a bit more information than download and upload speeds. For one, you'll need to choose which kind of connection type you have (fiber, cable or others), and then you can choose to test it with HTTP or HTTPs connections. The service will test your speeds in areas around you and deliver some solid and actionable information when it's done, including what download and upload measures mean, and how they might impact your connection.Credit: DSLReports
SpeedOf.Me
SpeedOf.Me gets high marks for working with HTML5 instead of Flash, but it's not the most attractive tool in this roundup. But what it lacks in looks, it makes up for in actionable information, providing you with a graph to see how reliable your internet connection is, in addition to its speed. SpeedOf.Me takes a bit longer to get to a conclusion, but it also has a handy timeline, so you can see how your internet speeds have changed over time.Credit: SpeedOfMe
Cox Internet Speed Test
The Cox Internet Speed Test might at first blush look like it's designed only for Cox users, but it will work for those who are on other networks, as well. The Cox tool comes with the standard features you'd expect, including upload and download speed tallies, but it is a little slow to determine those speeds. Its speed-test page is also filled with all kinds of content, which detracts from the experience. But at least it's not based on Flash.Credit: Cox
AT&T High Speed Internet Speed Test
AT&T offers its own internet speed test. Unlike Xfinity, which has a streamlined and more intuitive design, AT&T bogs its app down with far too much text around a speedometer tool. It's also worth noting that AT&T relies on DSLReports to power its tool, and doesn't actually conduct its test on its own. The tool measures your Internet latency, download and upload speeds, but it's a bit slower than many of the other options in this roundup.Credit: AT&T
Spectrum Test
Spectrum's internet speed test is a disappointment on many levels. For one, its design leaves much to be desired, and it's flanked by far too much information that proves far less useful than the ISP would have you believe. More important, it requires Adobe's Flash to run, which many browsers don't support any longer because of the service's inherent security concerns. Once you do get it up and running, the Spectrum test is slow. Yuck.
Credit: Spectrum
Speakeasy Internet Speed Test
Speakeasy Internet Speed Test is another disappointing option. For one, the MegaPath service has a poor design, but worse yet, it requires Adobe Flash to run, making it unusable for those who don't have Flash installed. Once you decide to turn Flash on, Speakeasy takes too long to deliver results. Credit: Speakeasy

As children, dolls are our friends, our confidantes, and often stand-ins for how we process the world around us. But at some point, those wide, glassy eyes become a screen upon which we project fear, judgment, and horror. A visit to Yesterday's Children Antique Doll & Toy Museum in Vicksburg, Mississippi, allows you to experience the duality of these emotions—comfort and fear—at the same time.
The museum opened in 1986 and moved to its present location the following year. Its initial purpose was to house the collection of Carolyn Bakarich—and to get the dolls out of her house at the request of husband, Mike. Carolyn enjoyed visiting with guests and sharing her knowledge of the dolls until her death in 2014. It's now Mike who greets visitors, gives a brief orientation, and takes admission.
I visited the museum for the first time on a hot summer morning. As a native Vicksburgian, I'd passed it more times than I could say without going in. It sits on my favorite block of Washington Street across from the wonderful Lorelei Books, catty-corner to Highway 61 Coffee Shop and Attic Gallery. When I was younger and downtown was the place you went to "go out" at night, my friends and I hastened past the doll museum's windows. You didn't want to linger there when it was dark out.
Surprisingly, my mother also had never been to the museum and wanted to tag along with me. The result: an unexpected opportunity to bond and reminisce over her own childhood and mine—and also a chance to be kind of freaked out together. Moving through the tightly packed shelves, we alternated between high-pitched squeals of delight at recognizing a treasured plaything and a game of one-upmanship on picking out the most disturbing dolls.
My mother's face softened at the sight of a Tiny Tears dolls that was filled with water and then squeezed to create a crying effect. An early Barbie Dream House made of cardboard, and put to shame by the over-the-top 1980s version I recall, had her reaching over the stanchions. As I reminded her again of the "don't touch" rule, she repeated, "But I played with that one so much," still lost in reverie.
I will admit that it was at times almost impossible to follow the rules. I was grateful that the familiar Little People village was located far enough out of reach not to be tempting.
There were cultural touchstones like the army of Shirley Temple dolls (including one Shirley Temple who was holding a tiny Shirley Temple). There were multiple Elvises, Marilyns, Rhetts, and Scarletts. There was a child version of Jackie O. Twin Princess Elizabeths stood side by side. The Barbie section was a who's who of '60s and '70s icons—Donnie, Marie, Cher.
The wardrobes alone could be fodder for anyone studying fashion trends through the ages, with dolls dating back from the 1800s up to recent years. As you travel from the front of the exhibits to the back, dolls shift from wide skirts and pantaloons to flapper attire to elegant 1950s gloves and hats to short skirts and go-go boots to padded shouldered power suits and all looks in between.
There was a selection of modly outfitted Crissy Gro Hairs from the 1970s with Day-Glo dresses and horrifically uneven haircuts. I spotted a Sweet Cookie doll using a blender. A few steps away, there was a wall of thankfully silent Chatty Cathys.
I would note that while my husband politely declined to join us, there are a number of G.I. Joe's, trains and other action figures that men and boys may relate to (not that I'm saying anything here about toys and gender).
And of course, there were the creepy dolls. We discovered something called Himstedt Dolls that were so eerily real I had to drag my mother away from a staring contest with one of them. There was a Princess Diana bride doll that was more reminiscent of her tragic end than the joy of her wedding day. A shelf full of ventriloquist dummies was quickly passed up. A horror movie monkey with cymbals was nestled next to a rainbow mermaid troll doll. (I think it was purposefully done to take the edge off.) Two Italian Lenci dolls glare at one another, separated by a wide-eyed Bo Peep type who seems to be silently screaming "help me." Something called a Boudoir Doll lay propped up on a shelf, her makeup cracked, dreaming of better days.
We were the only visitors to the museum at the time, but as we started to leave a woman came in with two teenagers and a very young girl. One of the teenagers was carrying a hermit crab cage. No one looked excited to be there. My mother browsed the wide selection of paper dolls in the gift shop, and I went back in to trail the group for a while, curious as to how the exhibit might be received. They quickly passed up the older dolls and headed for the section where the woman recognized the dolls from her childhood. Pretty soon she was pointing and they were all laughing at outdated fashions and asking questions. It was a genuinely sweet thing to watch. It also gave me courage to double back past all the ventriloquist dummies to get out of there.
Since Carolyn Bakarich's death, the future of the museum has been somewhat uncertain. Hours are posted as Monday−Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm, but calling ahead is strongly advised. On the day we visited, Mr. Bakarich suggested we come before 2:30. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children under 12.
This seriously creeps me out, grand detail, kudos! Who knows, maybe this will bring in the crowds the museum years for. I think Mr. Bakarich wasn't telling it straight: Of course they are watching him.
Sorry, meant to say yearns for … where's an editor?
The doll you have in your photo labeled 'Suzy Homemaker' is wearing her original clothes, which tell you she is Sweet Cookie. Sweet Cookie is an entirely different doll than Suzy Homemaker, and was made by Hasbro in 1972.I did a post on mine, which you can see at planetofthedolls.blogspot.com/2014/07/doll-day-172-sweet-cookie.html Sorry copy and paste doesn't work in your comments.

Sometimes the eye reaches for its object through the span of another eye, and what is looked at is seen from an angle unaccounted for by light or distance. At once irredeemably far and terribly near. Which is to say that when my mother, as a girl, watches her father rise in the early days of the bombardment, it is not her eye that searches his face but my own.
The drills, with their exacting routine, help reaffirm the value of collective effort in the face of the unimaginable. Everyone who can stand is expected to. They gather in a large school yard which, just a few months into the war, had lost all resemblance to its original function.
A premonition in the face of the unimaginable: A woman lets out a great wail long before she receives news of her husband's death. When the body is shown to her, the messenger is told that his news is no longer news, and asked if he has brought anything else.
The sick and dying are laid in neat rows of six beds to the left and to the right. When the door is shut, the room's only source of light is three short windows along the left wall, seven or eight inches above where a patient's head would be. In daylight, both rows are easy enough to see but as sunlight wanes, it is harder to make out any shapes. Only sudden movement—the shifting of a body's weight, a cough, or the strong smell of waste—alerts a visitor to the presence of the infirm.
It is in moments like this, in cramped spaces, among unfamiliar bodies, that darkness again reminds us of the power it wielded over our earliest ancestors before mankind harnessed the movement of electrons. A power potent not because it is absolute but because it is limited. The enemy who springs at night is a creature of extraordinary patience and desperation. It bides its time and knows its window of opportunity is short. In such darkness, every shadow hides a quick and devious imagination. In such darkness, many wake too late to run.
There are stories of many who, tired of walking, simply stop.
What is given, what is disclosed, what is offered in the gaze shared between two people who have in common the lives they have failed to save? It is easier, when greeting, to avoid the eyes.
As they flee Lagos, my grandfather's grey Opel has the dull gleam of bone. They have heard that some do not make it past the checkpoints. My mother, a girl, is young but not the youngest. The baby, everyone remembers, stayed calm through it all.
Whose is the greater burden, the messenger who knows the gravity of the message he is asked to deliver or the messenger who delivers a message the import of which he knows nothing? In wartime, it is dangerous to travel, worse yet to travel with words. But young men must play their part.
Earlier in "With the Mist So Dense on the Bridge," when Mahmoud Darwish writes "In the blue dawn, the smell of bread / forms a map of a life," I am looking through my grandfather's eyes at the bloated bellies of his children.
Days after Owerri falls, again, to the federal army, essentially crushing what's left of the Biafran cause, the English reporter interviews the colonel whose soldiers garrison the city. He is, the reporter observes, "resplendent in his superbly polished boots." When asked about allegations of looting and sexual violence, the soldier says, "this is customary in any war."
Passing through Orlu and Okigwe, those who have nowhere to go are asked what they've seen. They give what answers they have.
What is rarely remarked upon is the quiet, sometimes, between salvos. In Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow, one might be pointed to the gravestone of the composer Alfred Schnittke. On the slab there is an inscription of a fermata over a whole rest in triple forte. Were this notation to be played, it would be the sound of a prolonged and deafening silence.
My grandfather is born, not long before Schnittke, at the peak of one of Owerri's great festivals. He is given two names, and then a third: Nzuegbu. Noise does not kill.

Fluorescence detection of calcium-binding proteins with quinoline Ca- indicator quin2
Ryuichi Tatsumi, Ken ichiro Shimada, Akihito Hattori
We have established a fluorescence method to detect calcium-binding proteins by making use of the quinoline Ca indicator quin2. Authentic calcium-binding proteins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then electrophoretically transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. Transfers were incubated with nonradioactive calcium ions, then with quin2 to detect the calcium-binding proteins as fluorescent bands by illumination with UV light. Calmodulin and parvalbumin of EF hand conformation calcium-binding type were clearly identified. Quin2 distinguished smooth muscle α-actinin from skeletal muscle α-actinin; the former was faintly fluorescent, having a low affinity for calcium ions. In whole myofibril preparations from skeletal muscles, troponin-C, connectin (titin), and nebulin were intensely fluorescent, being shown to have calcium-binding ability. The fluorescence method is an accurate, safe, and simple procedure to detect the binding of calcium ions to proteins following electrophoresis. The overlay technique described can be completed within 15 h and detects as little as 38 ng/well of troponin-C in the starting sample.

i cut a week ago on my upper thigh. when i was in the bathroom, i noticed some yellow color around my cuts so i asked my best friend what it was, and she said it was just a bruise. i have never bruised around a cut before. anyone else have this problem?
Hmm... no i never seen a bruise where i cut just a scare.
In the past, I have hit myself prior to cutting, a day later there was bruising all over the leg, not just around the cut.
Is it an area where there are multiple scars? Could it be scar tissue trying to heal?
I know exactly what you are talking about. I almost always get some bruising when I cut. I generally goes away pretty quickly for me.
yeah...i noticed the bruise a few days ago and they're gone today. it is in a place where i've cut a lot in the past. my friend says it's cuz my tool wasnt sharp enough and i pressed too hard. thanks.
Clean fresh new blade each time is the best approach I think.
And taking vitamins will lessen the bruising as well.
i take a b-complex vitamin every day. is there a more specific one for bruising and the like?

Nellie C Lind: The negative reviewers and their reviews.
I recently had a discussion with a few people on Goodreads about reviewing an author's book, and honestly it saddenes me to see how some people think. If not even reviewers can say one positive word about a book they didn't like, then no wonder the world looks the way it does.
I have been reading reviews for many years, and from time to time I write reviews as well. When I write them I make sure the reviews are honest, because honesty is important. But if you must write a negative review, make sure to write it in a positive way. No author deserves a 100% negative review just because there were a few spelling errors in the book, and no author deserves to have his or hers will broken down because someone on the Internet had a dislike.
We are all humans and we all do our best. Not many people are able to start writing a book and finishing it. Please realize that there are many hours of hard work behind every author's book and therefore every author deservers constructive critisism instead of negative reviews. And remember that behind every book there is a living person with feelings.
Every author out there is a brave person. He or she exposes themselves willingly to the masses to be either liked or hated, and often without the chance to defend themselves. That alone should be applaused.
Remember that you can hurt someone for life with one simple word. Therefore choose your words wisely. You never know how someone might react to the words you say.
Always be professional and mature in everything you do in your life. Look at the world with open eyes and a smile on your face. Spread light and love around you with that smile. Have you ever smiled toward a stranger on the street? I recommend you try it. Maybe that simple smile is everything that person needs to brighten their day.

Film reviews (2019)
The Aeronauts review "More melodrama than meteorology"
November 16, 2019 / Joseph Waddington
Nothing sets the tone better for a movie than a bit of historical revisionism. The Aeronauts, starring Eddie Redmayne, follows the real-life exploits of James Glaisher as he embarks on a perilous adventure in the name of scientific advancement. Where the film departs from reality is in Glaisher's co-pilot, actual companion Henry Coxwell is replaced by fictional hot air balloon pilot, Amelia Wren (played by Felicity Jones).
Armed with this knowledge before entering the cinema, I went in fully aware that I was in for more melodrama than meteorology.
The opening scenes establish Glaisher's goal fairly effectively; in the face of heavy scepticism from his colleagues, he intends to fly higher than ever before in order to collect ground-breaking data to support his predictability of weather theory. However, aside from the initial set up, and a few brief moments of Glaisher checking his thermometer, the film largely focuses on the relationship and recent history of the two main characters, with science very much taking a back seat.
Screen time is split fairly evenly between our 2 protagonists as we follow them both in the past and the present. Redmayne's James Glaisher is contending with his obnoxious colleagues, as well as coming to terms with a parent in the early stages of dementia, and Jones' Amelia Wren is dealing with the loss of her husband whilst wrestling with the decision of whether or not to strap on her flight goggles again.
© Amazon
And this is essentially the heart of the film. Redmayne and Jones have fantastic chemistry, and it's their budding friendship that really holds your interest through the 1 hour 40-minute run time. Instead of a science-heavy biopic, what we actually get is a surprisingly charming tale about companionship, triumph over adversity and our innate drive to explore the unknown.
Redmayne's likeable yet dogmatic Glaisher learns the beauty behind the science through Wren's wonder of the natural world. And Jones's Wren finds purpose in life through Glaisher's unwavering determination to make the world a better place.
Having worked together previously on The Theory of Everything, for which Redmayne won a best actor Oscar, they appear to quickly pick up where they left off, in turn generating a fully believable dynamic. What really works here is that the relationship doesn't rely on the traditional romance story line, it's almost Victorian in how understated and reserved it all is. This serves the purpose of making the characters, their relationship and the journey they embark upon together all the more memorable.
Where character development is concerned, it's not all good news though. Both protagonists have extensively developed backstories which are played out intermittently throughout the film. With Glaisher and Wren being equal partners in their heroic adventure, I can understand why the writers did this. Unfortunately, however, in a bid to develop both characters equally, the narrative ultimately suffers, feeling a little sluggish and unfocused in places.
With a plot centred around a perilous journey, the film also seems to lack a certain amount of peril for most of the run time, it's very much a slow burner. However, considering the subject matter, I can really appreciate the pacing, whether intentional or not. We get a gradual build up in back story as the balloon ascends, we get cathartic revelation for both characters as the balloon reaches its goal, and we get an action packed, fast-paced descent during the climax.
And it's this spectacular set piece at the finale that really brings the film to life. As much as I enjoyed the reserved, relationship drama, the film never quite gets out of third gear until the end. But director Tom Harper's dramatic instincts kick in at just the right moment, providing us with an extremely exciting and tense descent to Earth. The historical revisionism plays perfectly into the Harper's hands here too. With Wren being completely fictional, and thereby having a fate unknown, I found myself genuinely worried about her survival.
Visually, there is some incredibly strong work on display throughout the film, the sweeping shots from the sky are outstanding. There is also a particularly memorable Life of Pi-esque scene involving a flutter of Butterflies that is genuinely stunning. This beautiful cinematography makes up for the weaker elements of the film, including a largely forgettable original soundtrack and some suspect supporting performances.
Tom Courtenay as Glaisher senior is particularly bad. Appearing to have misread his character history, instead of portraying a father in the grips of dementia, he appears to be aiming for drunken pirate channelling Jack Sparrow.
Overall, whilst not exactly doing historical justice to the birth of meteorology, the film has a lot to offer both visually and thematically. But it's Redmayne and Jones in their second collaboration that really transform what could have been a largely innocuous entry in the 2019 calendar into to something much more memorable.

Oh...how memories have come back and flooded through my head with adventures of me with my best friend Werefox Aries. I still remembered the night when we first met, it was such a long time since I've been in the area where the cherry blossom trees grew. It was on that night where I was hunting down a predator and chased him for such a long time. After much time has passes, I lost my prey through the forest where the cherry blossoms grew. At first I was lost, not knowing where I am until remembered that it was the same area where my mother took me when I was little where the cherry blossoms would shower down everywhere, such a wonderful memory. As I remembered how to gt home and followed the same path on the way home, I suddenly caught the scent in the air of someone else here. As I followed that scent, the wind blew where the scent was coming from. As I followed its trail, I suddenly encountered something I never thought in my life I would've encountered. I thought that I was the only werefox around here and for a long time I felt somewhat lonesome, but that night has changed me from that day. As I saw down the hill, I saw someone coming towards me and I couldn't believe my eyes that I found another werefox like me. As we saw each other, I knew that the scent that I smelled in the air came from him and he smelled my scent in the air as well. We were both motionless a bit at first, but we eventually came close to each other, we've recognized each others scents and know that we are both werefoxes. He smiled at me and had such a friendly personality, even going so far as to hug me after meeting him the first time. But at that time, I didn't mind and I hugged him and he offered me some of the things he hunted to eat. As time went on he introduced me to his mother and I introduced him and his mother to my parents. My father and mother were both stunned to find out that there was another werefox who lives nearby where I am. My parents and Werefox's mother have gotten along very well and are close and from that point on, that's the story that tells how to werefoxes are so close that they are practically like brothers.
I'm so happy to have met him on that day in the place where the cherry blossoms grew. It was a night that I will never forget and I'm happy to have him as a close friend.

According to the code the output is set at PortC-5. The datasheet says it works at pin 27. The simulation in Proteus works fine. However after burning the code on the chip, the actual output comes at pin 28.
The chip I am using is an Atmel ATMEGA32A PU 1527. Some of the other people who tried this had the same at pin number 29 too. Why is it happening? I am new to this field, so please help me out here.

This complements the entire register. Outputting this then flips all 8 bits in PORTC. Consider using EOR to flip only the single bit in the register instead.

How could I get rid off this problem? Appreciated on any comments and help.

A: Tables are constructed from row to row. \multirow{2} puts the stuff in the current and the next row. But the next row is not yet drawn and will overprint the text that sticks into this row.
The better way is to use \multirow{-2} in the row below to print in the current row and the row above, which is already set.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
    \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{NET ENTITLEMENT FISH OIL MARKETS}}\\

\end{tabular}

Remarks:

*

*\centering in table avoids additional vertical space, which is set by environment center.

*...

A: Another solution with the makecell package, which allows for line breaks inside cells, and a common formatting. Also there are less rows. I removed loading color, since you load xcolor, and added the table option? Iformatted the numbers using the siunitx package. Finally, as I don't have pythontex installed I had to comment the line where it's used:

Scotland's ageing population poses a "real risk" to the country's budget in future, a Holyrood committee has said.
The working-age population is set to fall from 2018 onwards, alongside a big increase in the number of over-75s.
The rest of the UK is set to see its working-age population grow, which the Scottish Fiscal Commission said would place a drag on economic growth north of the border.
The finance committee said this posed "fundamental questions" going forward.
At present, Scotland's economy is forecast to grow more slowly than that of the UK for each of the next four years.
The committee's report said a "key factor" behind this was demographic change and population growth, with the number of people in the 16-64 working-age bracket set to shrink in the immediate future.
The Scottish government's fiscal outlook states the issue is "set to accelerate from 2021 onwards", and at a faster rate than in the rest of the UK – adding that this challenge "will continue for at least the next 25 years".
The committee also raised concerns a decrease in immigration relative to the rest of the UK could pose a "real risk" to the budget, with Scotland disproportionately affected by any drop in numbers after Brexit.
Finance committee convener Bruce Crawford said the risks identified in the report raise "fundamental questions" about Holyrood's powers and the fiscal framework underpinning the devolved budget.
He said it was "essential that both of these fundamental questions are fully considered as part of the review of the fiscal framework".
He added: "The bad news is that while our ageing population is not new, it is set to accelerate from 2021, and this is happening faster than rest of the UK.
Scottish migration minister Ben Macpherson said the country was "in a very different demographic position compared to the rest of the UK", saying Scotland needs "a tailored approach to migration policy".
The UK government has opposed devolving powers over migration to Holyrood, or having a specific migration policy for Scotland.
During a session at Holyrood in September, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss told the committee "the Scottish government has levers to influence demographics in Scotland", such as housing, planning and skills policies.
Given the parliament's block grant from Westminster is based on the overall population, she argued that there are protections in the fiscal framework against demographic changes.

Sasaya Iori's Dorayaki: the Original Dorayaki
March 29, 2022 April 15, 2022 KansaiOdyssey Traditional Food
Beloved by kids and adults, dorayaki is one of the most common and iconic Japanese confections. These pancake-like goodies have numerous kinds of fillings, but red bean paste is by far the favorite. However, today's dorayaki and the original dorayaki are very different! Sasaya Iori of Kyoto has sold the traditional type of dorayaki in their store for more than 200 years.
The Evolution of the Dorayaki
Unsurprisingly, pinning down the exact origin of beloved treats like this is extremely difficult. While we can trace modern dorayaki to 1914, however, the roots of dorayaki itself go back much further.
Folk legend gives us one of the earliest mentions of dorayaki is in a tale about the famous samurai, Benkei. The story goes that Benkei was recovering from serious injuries at the home of an elderly couple. While there the couple cooked Benkei a small cake on a dora (gong). Indeed, this method of preparing dorayaki on a gong does appear to be authentic and is likely where the name of the dish comes from!
Modern, pancake-like dorayaki
Honestly, there is so much to say about dorayaki that we can't possibly fit it all here! Expect a full entry dedicated to dorayaki at a later date!
Sasaya Iori's Dorayaki
Dorayaki at Sasaya Iori
Sasaya Iori opened in Kyoto in 1716. At that time, they made their specialty, dorayaki, for monks at the nearby To-ji Temple.
Sasayaiori only sold these treats on the 21st day of every month on the commemoration day of the temple's founder, Kobo-daishi. Even today, Sasaya Iori's dorayaki is available only 20, 21, 22nd of every month.
To-ji Temple
The main store of Sasayaiori is in Shichijo, but department stores throughout Kyoto have small Sasayaiori shops, like the Isetan in Kyoto Station. You can also buy online too but make sure to order before the 15th of every month!
Rather than two round dome-shaped pancakes, Sasaya Iori's dorayaki comes in one long tube-shaped, wrapped in a bamboo leaf. One dorayaki should serve about 2-3 people.
You can choose to remove the bamboo leaf first, but it is more authentic to cut the cake with the bamboo leaf still on; unwrapping it only just before you eat it.
Sasaya Iori's dorayaki wrapped in a bamboo leaf
Sasaya Iori's dorayaki. Wow, that looks so different from the dorayaki we normally see!
Once you cut into it, you will see how different Sasaya Iori's dorayaki truly is!
The silky-smooth anko (red bean paste) sits in the middle of layers of an unusual crepe-like wrapper. This crepe layer is a bit chewy, and I suspect it is made by incorporating some kind of rice flour. That being said, it is not nearly as chewy as mochi. Much like other Japanese confectioneries, it is mildly sweet.
It is so different, I almost can't believe it's dorayaki! It was so much fun to try something so different. Do not pass up a chance to get your own. Maybe even try to get both kinds of dorayaki and see which one you like most!

Selena Gomez claims she skilled mental punishment in Justin Bieber connection
Selena Gomez claims she practiced psychological punishment inside her previous commitment with other artist Justin Bieber.
"i have found the strength on it. It is harmful to stay in a sufferer mindset," Gomez said of the lady on-again/off-again partnership with Bieber, in a job interview with NPR on Sunday. "And I'm not-being disrespectful. I actually do feel I found myself a victim to specific punishment."
When questioned whether this punishment could be grouped as "emotional misuse," Gomez answered inside the affirmative.
"Yes, and that I think that it's something . I had to locate ways to comprehend it as an adult," Gomez mentioned. "As much as I do not should spend the remainder of my entire life writing on this, Im actually happy that I can say I believe the best I ever thought and I've receive a way to merely walk-through it with as much grace possible."
Gomez first started dating Bieber in 2011 when she is 18 in which he got 16. The two artists last dated in 2018. It is far from clear while in the relationship she experienced the so-called psychological abuse.
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence defines emotional or emotional abuse as a design of abuse that will consist of manipulation, spoken misuse, rejection, bullying and intimidation, though Gomez didn't enter into detail regarding the type emotional misuse she presumably experienced. They usually consists of gaslighting, a type of control wherein someone can make her partner question their capability to faith themselves as well as their perception of fact, the NCADV mentioned. Almost half U.S. female have experienced emotional punishment, in line with the center.This kind of misuse is much more subdued than physical or sexual assault, although it are coupled with other designs of misuse, and will happen to any person despite gender, age, sexual direction, competition or financial background.
NBC Development has reached out to Bieber's and Gomezaˆ™s associates for opinion. Though he's maybe not introduced an announcement relating to Gomez's meeting, Bieber uncovered in an Instagram article in September he "started creating heavy drugs at 19 and mistreated all my personal relations" while he grappled with rising reputation.
"I became resentful, disrespectful to women and annoyed," he composed, adding that it's used him decades to deal with these "relationship practices."
Bieber hitched Hailey Baldwin in September 2018 and described their marriage as "best period" of his lifestyle in the blog post.
Gomez enjoys constantly started open about fight in her existence, like the girl general public breakups with Bieber together with Weeknd, their Lupus diagnosis and getting a kidney transplant.
"Why i have being very singing regarding trials and tribulations of my entire life is basically because individuals were currently likely to narrate that for me personally," she told NPR. "i do want to be able to tell my story the way that I would like to determine they . I recently had to find a method to claim my facts."
Selena Gomez says social media is aˆ?dangerousaˆ™ on her behalf generation
A good way Gomez was framing her narrative is through the girl latest album, "unique," which had been introduced earlier in the day this thirty days. The word rare keeps a special significance on her behalf, beyond it getting the concept of the girl album aˆ" she started using it inked on the neck as a reminder that despite social media marketing demanding conformity, she's distinctive.
"unique," Gomez's 3rd business record album, includes multiple tracks about breakups, such as "drop https://datingranking.net/ one to like me personally," but the overarching theme of record is psychological state. Gomez furthermore addresses anxiety and depression and states she still has days where its "hard for me personally to get out of sleep."
"i do believe the only way it is assisted me is that I am able to incorporate that forever," Gomez mentioned. "i wish to inhabit a world where an 11-year-old is not committing committing suicide considering bullying on social media marketing. That is what i believe my personal real objective try."
