Question time at PestEx 2013

Two lively panel discussions brought a buzz to the seminar theatre at PestEx 2013. The first took the 'European Standard for the Provision of Pest Management Services' as its theme. The second had panellists reaching for their crystal balls to tackle questions on 'Pest Control: Possible Futures".
This was a new addition to the PestEx seminar format, but one which proved both popular and interactive.
European Standard for Pest Management Services
The panel: left to right:
Peter Whittall, Emmanuel Audon, Roland Higgins, Bertrand Montmoreau, Rob Fryatt and Chris Suter
This last session on the first day discusing the European Standard for Pest Management Services could easily have fallen into the 'boring but important' category. Fortunately, the format, where the moderator, Jacki Davis of Meade Davis Communications and a long-time correspondent of theDaily Mail based in Brussels, fired a series of rapid, hard-hitting, direct questions at the panel, turned this somewhat turgid topic into an entertaining and informative session.
Jacki had been well briefed on the concerns that pest controllers have about the proposed standard and her questions probed these topics as well as finding out exactly where the process is now and how much further there is to go before the standard emerges.
The panel comprised Rob Fryatt chair of the CEN TC404 technical workgroup which is drawing up the standard, Emmanuel Audon from Bureau Veritas, an international testing, inspection and certification services business, Bertrand Montmoreau, chair of CEPA, Dr Christopher Suter of the Royal Society for Public Health and Peter Whittall, group chief scientific officer, Rentokil-Initial and member of the CEN UK Mirror Group. None of them seemed to be sure when they would be asked to comment and on which question, which added to the liveliness of the session.
The key points to come out were:
The draft standard is almost ready to go out on full consultation to the industry. It will leave the Technical Workgroup in May but then has to be translated into the various languages so it will be later in the summer when it is available for comment;
Everyone in the industry (and outside) will have an opportunity to comment so please make an effort to read the draft when it is available and let the technical workgroup know your views. Keep an eye on the Pest website as we will keep you posted;
The standard will come into force early in 2014;
The standard is being written by the industry for the industry and puts us ahead of the game. Having our own standard will prevent something developed outside the industry being imposed at a future date;
The standard will be voluntary. It will allow pest control businesses to demonstrate their professionalism. Commercially it is likely to become increasingly important in contracts and tenders. Those who do not engage with it are likely to lose out commercially in the long run;
To have value we must make sure that only those who genuinely meet the standard are able to lay claim to it. Independent auditing will be essential;
Big companies are likely to find it harder to comply with the standard than smaller operations simple because they have more technicians and will need more complex systems in place to ensure everyone is properly trained and meets the standard;
Whilst there have been some areas of difference it has been amazing to see a huge level of commonalty among all 30 countries involved in the development of the standard;
Local trade associations like BPCA will be providing help to pest control businesses so that they can meet the standard. Don't be afraid of it, the standard has been designed for everyone and for every size of business. Most good pest controllers already meet most of the standard. It will only require small adjustments and perhaps a little more formalisation to reach it;
The cost is unlikely to be high. Perhaps half a day for an audit. But beware in the run up to its introduction it is likely that a number of consultants will pop-up claiming that they will do everything for you. Until the standard is published no-one knows exactly what will be in it so don't go spending money on consultants before you've seen the standard.
Pest Control: Possible Futures
Steve Miller, Jacob, David Lodge, Jonathan Peck,
Stephen Jacob and Frances McKim
The "Pest Control: Possible Futures' session on the second day was chaired by Jonathan (Dimbleby) Peck with panellists David Lodge of Beaver Pest Control, Steve Miller, from the London Borough of Newham and also head of JLARS (Joint Local Authority Regulatory Service) which was responsible for ensuring that London Olympic Games were pest free, Stephen Jacob from BASIS PROMPT and our ownPesteditor, Frances McKim.
The questions were wide-ranging from the impact of the loss of products under the Biocidal Products Directive/Regulations to the pest control legacy of the London Olympic Games and a proposal to arm Boris Johnson to tackle urban foxes in London. Other topics covered included the image of pest control based on recent TV programmes, what BASIS PROMPT should be providing for members going forward, the out-sourcing of pest control services by local authorities and what trade associations should be offering and whether or not they are offering the right things now.
In response to the questions there was a good deal of consensus among the panellists and there were some excellent comments from the floor.
Here are some of the points made:
The loss of products under BPD/BPR will make pest management more difficult but this is an opportunity for the good companies to demonstrate their professionalism and be recognised for it;
We have to look after the pesticides we've got and use them responsibly;
• The loss of products is making some Local Authorities question whether or not they want to be doing this sort of work;
The companies who are doing things properly need some commercial payback to cover the costs of membership of BPCA, CRUU, PROMPT etc;
The next step for PROMPT now that it has its 2000th member signed up during PestEx is to look outwards to talk to customers to provide a service that allows the public to go online and check a pest controller's PROMPT credentials just as they can under the Gas Safe scheme;
Trade associations should introduce random checks on members to make sure they are operating at acceptable levels and have more teeth to throw out those that do not comply;
Associations need to spend more time promoting pest control services to customers for example BPCA has done an excellent job with the Alexo magazine;
As pest controllers we often see bad practice but we have no whistle blowing process in place. Perhaps the associations can take on this role;
Never forget that TV is first and foremost entertainment. Be selective about what you get involved with but don't shun TV exposure. It is a great way to promote the industry to the wider public and the old adage there's no such thing as bad publicity does often hold true.

From blankets unearthed in an attic, sheets spotted in a thrift shop and fabrics picked up while travelling, Emily Bode cultivated a taste for unique textiles. Her passion stemmed from her family, who notably created and decorated wagons for the Barnum circus. As a child, Emily Bode spent her time visiting antique markets, awakening her passion for the past. When she launched her self-named Ready-to-Wear label for men in 2016, it was only natural that her collection incorporated old tablecloths, Victorian linen and grain sacks into the designs. Her favourite fabric was quilting, which she sewed using traditional techniques and then revamped by transforming it into ultra-contemporary coats. A finalist in the LVMH 2019 awards and winner of the CFDA Emerging Designer Award less than a year after launching her brand, Emily Bode became the first woman to present a collection at Men's Fashion Week in New York. A flashing rise for this Atlanta-born designer who is passionate about style philosophy and takes a resolutely slow approach to fashion. Trained at Parsons School of Design in New York and then at Eugene Lang University (also in New York), she holds a BA in Fine Arts and Literature, specialising in Men's Fashion and Philosophy. After a varied experience gained at large fashion houses such as Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs, the designer launched her solo career.
Each piece is a mix of rare antique textiles and patchworks of retro prints, all made by hand using traditional craftsmanship, providing an authentic original quality. Emily Bode's creations, using prints of yesteryear, are no less contemporary in style. The designer updates crochet shirts, gauze tops and patchwork suits with streetwear touches. > View more

Already I'm in trouble. It's the first week of water restrictions in Fairfield, and my sprinklers aren't cooperating. I had them timed to every third day, which worked out to two and one half times a week. However, the City of Fairfield has decided that we homeowners should operate our sprinklers either Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, depending on whether our home's street address is odd or even numbered. This works out to three days a week, but leaves a watering gap for me with my address of Saturday and Sunday. We get a lot of wind this time of the year and it dries the plants out rapidly. So, by Monday, my front yard is pretty thirsty.
The problem is the sprinkler timers. It you were thinking of buying the battery-operated timers for the drought, from Home Depot, etc. think again. They can't be calendared. I tried turning them off on Saturday and on again, but they didn't turn at the 3:00 AM Monday schedule. The second part of the Fairfield restrictions is that the landscape be watered before noon or after six. So, rather than running the system at three AM, with no wind, I had to manually run the sprinklers and be physically present. Of course the wind was blowing. Of course the sidewalk was dampened. As I was out there, a woman drove by staring. If I have to hand water everything it will take me three hours.
Now, I absolutely am reducing water consumption. My grey water system will be finished for the back yard by the end of the month. My yards are zoned for various levels of water consumption.
However, no amount of water reduction will change local awareness of my front yard. In a neighborhood of dead lawns that have been that way since the 80's, my yard is stuffed with vegetation. I have seven fruit trees, blueberries, and veggies mixed with perennials. This is all in a yard approximately 18' by 20'. Plus, there are another six potted fruit trees waiting to get transferred to the back yard. The yard contains native plants and shrubs planted for the local fauna.
With my yard I can't just keep my head down, and expect that the local water Gestapo will ignore me. I envision many tickets and the resulting time stealing court time explaining to various solons why my yard is different.
It appears that I am going to have to spring for a permitted sprinkler system. If I do it soon I will have the funds, though it is a vexation. Why a permit? Because, a calendared system requires electricity and that will require either exterior electrical wiring, or a big chunk of plumbing back to the garage.
I can't be the only one with this problem. A few others have started fruit trees and vegetables. I saw one yard with corn last week. I feel good when I think I may have inspired at least a few folks to be more self-sufficient. However, this working class neighborhood shouldn't be punished because it's homes are older and therefore lack exterior outlets.
Is it feasible to set your Home Depot timers for 48 hours, and then turn them off on Friday, until your greywater system is completed? I know you must already have thought of this.
Would love to see a photo of your front and back yards.
I tried the very thing twice already. For some reason it didn't work. I'm still finagling it. The little bit of research I just started suggests that even the wired expensive units have this problem. The work around for them appears to be to double schedule for each area.
I'll set up a pict latter.
Reblogged this on JP Johnson.

Senate Bill 7 would ban schools from starting the school year before the last week of August.
INDIANAPOLIS (WFFT) - A proposed new law could restrict when school districts can start the school year.
If this passes, it would take effect beginning with the 2019-2020 school year.
Representative Phil GiaQuinta said the shorter schools are on summer break, the more it hurts the economy.
"We still have a lot of tourism in the state, drives a lot of economic activity for a lot of cities and towns. some people feel like when kids are back in school, parents aren't able to travel around the state and do some other things," he said.
You can track the bill through the General Assembly online.

If you're an avid whitepaper reader, then you've probably already read Marc Rueter's excellent Tableau Security Whitepaper.
In it, he discusses the difference between unrestricted and restricted trusted tickets.
This is our definition of a restricted ticket – you can only see views – the user can navigate to any URL under http://<servername>/views/<workbookname>/<viewname>.
What is an unrestricted ticket? It allows the user to view anything on the server that they have permissions to see. For example, they could view listings of workbooks, data sources, etc. One might use an unrestricted ticket to enable the user to browse the whole portal using the standard Tableau Server User Interface. This is a bit of an edge case scenario, but still quite useful from time to time.
Then, you modify the URL used to display Tableau Server content in your embed.

Q: Irrationality of sum of two logarithms: $\log_2 5 +\log_3 5$ I try to prove that the number $$\log_2 5 +\log_3 5$$ is irrational. But I have no idea how to do it. Any hints are welcome.

A: Questions of this form fall under the general heading of transcendental number theory. Conditional on a major conjecture in this field called Schanuel's conjecture, this number is not only irrational but transcendental. In fact, conditional on Schanuel's conjecture much more is true:

(Conditional) Theorem: The logarithms $\log 2, \log 3, \log 5, \dots$ of the primes are algebraically independent.

Essentially this means that any rational function of the logarithms of the primes is transcendental unless you can simplify it, as a rational function, to a rational number. The conclusion follows because your expression can be written $\frac{\log 5}{\log 2} + \frac{\log 5}{\log 3}$.
Proof.  By unique prime factorization, the logarithms of the primes are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. If $p_1, p_2, \dots$ is an enumeration of the primes, then by Schanuel's conjecture it follows that $\mathbb{Q}(\log p_1, \log p_2, \dots \log p_k)$ has transcendence degree at least $k$, hence exactly $k$, for all $k$. $\Box$

A: If both of them are rational then...
$$
\log_2(5)=\frac{m_1}{n_1} \implies 2^{m_1/n_1}= 5 \implies 2^{m_1}=5^{n_1}
$$
$$
\log_3(5)=\frac{m_2}{n_2}\implies 3^{m_2/n_2}=5 \implies 3^{m_2}=5^{n_2}
$$
The rightmost equation would only be true if both $n,m$ are $0$, but that contradicts the leftmost equation ($n_{1/2}\in\mathbb{N_{/0}},m_{1/2}\in\mathbb{Z}$)
For $n,m > 1$ the rightmost line can't be true because it contradicts prime factorization.
(due to this fact we can also ignore the following cases: $0<n_{1/2}<1<m_{1/2};0<n_{1/2},m_{1/2}<1; 0<m_{1/2}<1<n_{1/2}$
So the sum of two irrational numbers ($i_1, i_2$) is rational if $i_1+i_2=\frac{m}{n} $ for $\frac{m}{n}$ being the rational sum.
$$
\frac{m}{n}=\log_3(5)+\log_2(5) \implies 2^{m/n}=2^{\log_3(5)+\log_2(5)}\implies
$$
$$
2^{m/n}=5\times2^{\log_3(5)}\implies 2^m=5^{n}\times2^{n\log_3(5)}
$$
And here is where we have the next contradiction:
The left side is always rational but $2^{n\log_3(5)}$ is irrational and so is the product on the right side of the last equation (because the product of a rational and irrational number is always irrational).
Therefore the statement is false and the sum has to be irrational. That was a tricky one!

The American Experiment was built on a government-supported press.
"The advertising business model for journalism only gained traction 150 years ago. As journalism scholars Robert McChesney and John Nichols write in their 2009 book, The Death and Life of American Journalism, "While there were rollicking disagreements about the character and content of the post-colonial press in America, the one universally accepted premise was that the government needed to heavily subsidize the creation and development of the press if the constitutional system were to succeed." In their telling, at the turn of the 19th century, there wasn't a disagreement as to whether the press should be subsidized, but rather how much it should be."

Lying 8 miles off the coast of Portmagee in South Kerry, Skellig Michael towers 714 ft above the sea and was the location for a monastic settlement from about the sixth century. The remarkably well preserved remains of this settlement draw visitors from near and far to experience the solitude and spirituality of the remote and inaccessible place, these monks called home. On the spectacular Small Skelligs 23,000 pairs of gannet nest on every available ledge making it the second largest gannet colony in the world. This Unesco World Heritage Site is set to see a huge increase in visitor numbers this year following the appearance of Skellig Michael in the new Star Wars movie and limited availability on the island means booking well in advance is essential. You can visit the island by boat or take a helicopter tour, both of which can be arranged by the hotel.

IVERSKAIA MOTHER OF GOD
SAINT AND WOMAN
Mikhail Vasilievich Nesterov
Mikhail Nesterov is perhaps best known for his efforts to revive religious painting in late nineteenth-century Russia. A deeply religious man, he was unconcerned with the sorts of history or genre painting practiced by academic painters. Nesterov completed this drawing in the 1890s, a decade in which he created such influential works as The Vision of the Boy Bartholomew (Videnie otroku Varfolomeiu; 1889-1890, Moscow, Tretyakov Gallery) and In the Hills (Na gorakh; 1896, Kiev, Museum of Russian Art). Compositional elements of this work, which may have been created as a study for a similar painting, are reminiscent of these well-known Nesterov paintings.

PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN

This icon is a copy of one of Moscow's most venerated icons, the Iverskaia Mother of God, which was brought to Russia in 1648 from the Iberian Monastery in Greece. The icon was installed in its own chapel in the Kremlin's Resurrection Gates. Every night the icon was carried throughout the city in its own carriage, bringing hope of a miraculous cure to the sick. Until 1929, when the Soviets demolished the Kremlin chapel, the shrine was an obligatory stop for foreign dignitaries and members of the imperial family on visits to Moscow.
This small icon of the Iverskaia Mother of God is set in an elaborate enamel and pearl-encrusted oklad made by the famous Ovchinnikov firm. The half-length figure of the Mother of God and the Christ Child seated on her left arm are turned towards each other although their eyes do not meet. Her left hand gestures toward him while he holds a furled scroll in his left hand and raises his right in blessing. All but their faces and hands are covered by the oklad. The robes are entirely of seed pearls of various sizes, sewn onto a white fabric backing and outlined in silver braid. A venets of floral patterned filigree enamel surrounds each head and the Mother of God's venets also has a crown with pearls attached to the finials. An overall pattern of filigree scrolls sunk in light blue enamel covers the ground. Around this run four wide filigree enamel bands, each with a latin cross in the center, with four more crosses within lobes at each corner. This lush design is set within a plain silver gilt frame, in the top center of which is mounted a knop with suspension hook.

Construction executive pleads guilty to misdemeanor charge in Sweetwater
SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A construction company executive admitted Wednesday that
he provided gifts, meals and tickets for entertainment events to members of the
Sweetwater Union High School District to influence the school board's decisions
in granting construction contracts.
Henry Amigable, 47, faces up to six months in jail and $1,000 in fines
when he is sentenced June 22.
Felony charges of offering a bribe and obtaining a thing of value to
influence a member of a legislative body were dismissed in exchange for his
guilty plea to a misdemeanor count.
Amigable said it was important for him to admit wrongdoing.
"I pride myself on my integrity and my trust," the defendant told
reporters outside court.
"I wanted to step forward and cooperate with the District Attorney's
Office. My integrity is in question here," he said. "I wanted to cooperate
with the law and take my punches if I did something wrong, which I apparently
did in the Education Code, and wanted to stand up and say I did something
wrong, I'll take my punishment and move on."
Amigable said he didn't think he was doing anything wrong by wooing
school board members with gifts and other things. He said his expenses were
generated with the endorsement of his employers, Gilbane Building Co. and
Seville Construction Services, which have not been charged.
The defendant denied that any school board members charged in the case,
including former SUHSD Superintendent Jesus Gandara, ever reimbursed him or his
employers for the meals, tickets and gifts.
Trustees Arlie Ricasa and Pearl Quinones, and 16-year former board
member Greg Sandoval, were also charged in January.
Gandara, 55, Sandoval, 58, Quinones, 59, and Ricasa, 47, are charged
with perjury, filing a false document and other counts. They are scheduled to
be in court Friday for a status conference.
The defendants were allegedly involved in a "pay-for-play" culture
with businesses that were awarded contracts for voter-approved bond projects
worth hundreds of millions of dollars, said District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis.
Between 2008 and 2011, the defendants frequented San Diego-area
restaurants, spending hundreds of dollars on food and drinks, sometimes more
than $1,000 per outing, Dumanis said. The defendants were also given Los
Angeles Lakers playoff tickets, Rose Bowl tickets and a trip to Napa Valley,
She said for years, the public officials regularly accepted what
amounted to bribes in exchange for their votes on multimillion-dollar
construction projects.
Gandara's attorney, Paul Pfingst, spoke to reporters after Amigable's
guilty plea and questioned whether the case was the "worst corruption case in
San Diego County in recent memory," as characterized by Dumanis.
"The person who is alleged to have done the very worst, that is to
bribe public officials, came into court today and said to the press today that
he did not bribe anyone, he never intended to bribe anyone, and he did not even
know that what he was doing was wrong," Pfingst said.
If convicted, Gandara, Quinones, Sandoval and Ricasa each face between
four and seven years in state prison, Dumanis said.

Selecting the Selector: Class or ID?

October 18, 2015

    To web developers, HTML and CSS serve different but related purposes. HTML is made for creating structured web pages, but CSS is required to make an HTML page look nice and to position various HTML elements on a webpage. Here's one very common (albeit slightly macabre) analogy: HTML is the skeleton, and CSS is the skin. Nobody mentions the organs, muscles, nervous system, and other functional elements in this analogy, but perhaps we will find a suitable language to fill that role later in the curriculum.

    HTML should be structured such that CSS has an easy time communicating with it. There are many ways of doing this, most of which extend far beyond the scope of this post, but it's useful to know about two of the most specific options available: classes and IDs. Both are used to tag specific elements in HTML for styling via CSS. The purpose of both is largely the same, but IDs are more restrictive because one cannot apply the same ID to more than one element. Doing so will cause the HTML to fail
    validation checking, and that's only the tip of the iceberg! Later on, when we learn about JavaScript and other languages that make websites perform programmatic functions, it will become clear to us that duplicating IDs is not a valid practice.

    Classes, on the other hand... duplication is what they're made for! We can apply the same class to as many elements as we wish. The purpose of this is to help keep our CSS concise. To save time, we should avoid repeating ourselves as much as possible. Assigning the same class to multiple elements in HTML will allow us to save time in the long run by permitting one set of formatting instructions to apply to the entire class.

    The rule of thumb, then, goes like this: if you wish to use a selector in any given element, use a class instead of an ID unless you are certain that no other element will be styled like that one.

    Here's a bonus tip:
    One user
    on StackExchange mentioned that it's possible for an element to have both a class and an ID. I didn't stop to consider whether this was possible, so I will have to try it out myself in future projects. While this isn't necessary in any case, some programmers may prefer it stylistically, especially if it helps them organize their ideas.

My recently obtained TEDELEX TE-7000 CB Radio SSB Base Station.
I have been using a Uniden PC122XL with a Kenwood MC86 Mic to try to drive it up more than the 5-8watts it wants to put out.
Also it drifts fairly badly as well which was annoying.
So I decided to grab the Tedelex TE7000 that a local CB'er, Tony, had said he had for sale for a great price.
The PLL in the Tedelex is a PLL02a, and the actual PCB is marked as a PTBM058COX.
I dont have a PLL02A radio, but had many in the past that for one reason or another I had sold or swapped.
I knew this was a 02A PLL, so knew it would be a great radio if working to optimum alignment, and it had sounded OK when talking to Tony on it from his place about 20 klms away.
Taking it home and firing it up, I was getting reports that I was transmitting Off Frequency slightly by everyone, I wanted to slightly adjust the TX Frequency.
After using my test equipment to align the TX Frequency, everyone commented that now I was on frequency I had better sort out the microphone problems as well.
that had a great long flexible cord which I liked, but a bulky fistful of ECHO's did not turn me on as I definitely prefer a Desk Mic. Especially when you turned the echo volume up from 'O' it started to squeal instead of modulate with any echo.
Personally I like listening to a well modulated signal with a slight hint of echo but not everyone does, so I decided to solve the problem by taking the cord from the Hand Echo Mic and adapting it to a spare Amplified Turner Super Sidekick I had converted years ago to work on my Sawtron 880 UHF Mobile 477Mhz FM Radio.
With a bit of drawing out the conections and the required wiring, I connected the D-452 cord and mic plug into the Turner direct to the internal amplifier PCB. I had thought about intergating the D-452 echo guts into the base of the Turner S/S, but wanted to get on air in a hurry so maybe a project for next time. Would be a tight fit though, so maybe not. I do have a Datong Auto RF Speech Processor so maybe it will fit in that box ok and I can have more knobs to play with.
Not sure how the audio will come out though Amplified Turner Super Sidekick!
UPDATE 2012 JULY 15 – Gave Tedelex to my brother who is a full call VK3 Ham operator to use on 10Meters after converting the 02A PLL. I was thinking of using ThumbWheels on the PLL but decided that way is a pain even if you do some code conversion to freq readout, so thought about using a computer to drive it.
I had interfaced a Commodore 64 to my CPI to use it as a scanning tranciever back in the 70's so thought that may be the best way. Did a bit of Googling and found soomeone had re-invented my old wheel, and had free software as well using the parralel port on the PC.
WINScanner software is intended to be used width HAM- / CB-Radio and radio-scanners. Using the PC Printer Port it is quit simple to make the freely supplied PC software program to control the radio by the PLL`chip.
There will be more info here when we get underway on the project.
The PLL in the Tedelex is a PLL02a, and the actual PCB is a PTBM058COX as marked.

Q: How to use Chrome content scripts to automate web page interaction and nested navigations I am trying to control chrome from my C# application.
I am looking to establish a fairly simplistic API between my C# application and Chrome.
- Navigate to url
- Find HTML element based on some criteria (typically to be done via jQuery)
- Click on the selected element
- Repeat as needed

My C# program will manage multiple Chrome instances doing this kind of work.
The solution that I am trying to implement is to use Chrome extension 'content' scripts
Here's my current Manifest.json:
{
    "name": "ScraperAPI",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "content_scripts":  [
                {
                "matches": [ "<all_urls>" ],
                "js": [ "AutomationApi.js"],
                "run_at" : "document_start",
                "all_frames" : false
                }
    ],
    "permissions": [ "tabs", "http://*/*", "storage" ]
    "web_accessible_resources": [ "jQuery.min.v.2.0.3.map" ]
}

The content script uses a WebSocket to communicate with my C# application
So far, the WebSocket works very well for communicating API requests (such as 'navigate') and responses (such as 'document ready').
My extension listens to document ready and opens up a WebSocket to my C# program.
    - This works
My issues are:
[1] How to get the content script to launch automatically when Chrome comes up?
    It appears that until I manually enter a URL at the navigateion bar, my extension is not loaded
How can the content script recognize that it is running for the first time in the chrome instance?
[2] How to maintain general state for the content script across page loads.
In particular, the C# program uses the content script to navigate to a URL,
    find a particular HTML element, click on it, and after 'document ready' it then
    wants to continue browsing and further clicking on the page.
Unfortunately (for me), each time a page is loaded, Chrome loads a new instance of the content script.
==> I don't know how to have the script determine whether it is running for the first time or not.
    On the first time through it has to open a WebSocket to the C#. On subsequent loads in the same tab
    I want it to recognize that the WebSocket connection exists and continue using it.

    I tried to create a 'window.myApi' object to save data, but each page seems to get a new window object.

    I was going to try to use 'local storage' but that is shared between all local instances of all the scripts
    and a fresh instance of the content script does not know whether it is running for first time or not.

    By the way, when my content script opens a WebSocket to the C#, the C# responds with a unique id (GUID) so
    all further communications use this unique id in the messages.

    It would be great if a content script can tell if it has been assigned a unique id by the C# program.

    Is there an 'uber' window for the entire Chrome instance that I can latch onto?

Should I be using a different approach (not using content scripts) to automate Chrome sessions?
Is there an approach to saving state that I missed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Many thanks in advance
[David]

A: The execution environment of a content script is normally destroyed on navigation, so you can't have a permanent socket connection using only content scripts. A background page is loaded when Chrome starts up, and will live until Chrome is closed. There you can have permanent socket connections, and store any state you need.
For any interaction with the HTML document, you still need to use content scripts. You can use message passing to relay messages between your C# application and the content scripts via your background page.

My fellow Art Sparker Lyric Kinard has just released a new DVD, and she has sent me a copy to GIVE AWAY!
I watched most of it earlier this week (heh-heh, sorry Lyric, but I was interrupted by Little Liam!), but I can tell you that Lyric did a wonderful job… directions are clear, video quality is great, and her wonderful personality and humor just shine! Most importantly, Lyric made the beading look so fun that I was itching to pull out tiny seed beads and give it a try… and anyone who knows me knows that I "hate" tiny seed beads!
All you need to do to win this copy is to leave a comment on this post.
I'll pick the winner randomly on Friday, October 14, 2011.
And if you want another chance to win, head on over to these other blogs!

Our little Liam (new grandson) is still in the hospital. Positive thoughts and prayers are so appreciated. Thank you so much.
UPDATE: Thank you so much for all the well wishes! If you are the praying type, Liam was admitted to the hospital last night for a few days for observation. Thank you… UPDATED UPDATE: Liam is home and we think all is well. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers!
The list of things I'm NOT good at is way longer (money, exercise, cooking, toilets…).
Anyway. Another thing I don't seem to be great at is coming up with retreat class descriptions that just WOW potential students away from all the other tantalizing choices and into my classes. (I've struggled with anemic class descriptions the whole time I've taught at the mixed media events; thankfully, my reputation as a "good teacher" started assuring healthy class sizes as years went by.) Update: I should note here that I don't mean to imply that my descriptions are the ONLY reason people don't sign up! Geesh.
After talking with Teesha today, though, I've decided not to cancel after all (a few more students signed up!), and so I want to try one more time to entice some of you to come to Journalfest in Port Townsend, WA in October!!
I'm teaching two classes. The first is called "Your Inner Dr. Suess" and we will be making artist books using watercolor and other mixed media. In the morning we go through a lot of drawing exercises, to loosen you up, get your ideas flowing, and just get more comfortable with pen and paper. In the afternoon we add watercolor to the mix and make the books. These are puzzle books (like the Junk Mail Artist Book) and I've taught this class several times and it is ALWAYS fun!
The second class is called "Blobs and Sidewalk Cracks." It's a new class and it is based on the first chapter of the book I am currently writing for Quarry. (Yes! I'm writing a new book!) Students in this class will be guinea pigs for new drawing exercises using "found" things as inspiration, blobs, sidewalk cracks, food, trash…. In the morning we will draw, draw, draw (as in all of my classes), and in the afternoon we will draw, draw, draw, paint, paint, paint. I just know it will be a fun class!
P.S. A special note to Seattle-area people: COME!!!!!!!


Angela Ruggeri is 32 years old and lives with Cystic Fibrosis. She was diagnosed at 6 months old and, since then she fights for every breath she takes. Brought up by two loving parents, they continue to do everything possible to keep her a winner against this disease. She has an amazing circle of unconditional love that surrounds her and keeps her strong. Family and friends are always by her side, through the good and the bad. Angela is a beautiful young lady, whose smile brightens up a room. Her spirit and strength are inspiring to all who have the pleasure of knowing her. She believes that her CF is a "blessing in disguise." It has taught her the importance of living each day to the fullest, appreciating each breath, and doing her best to do as much good as she can. Angela is committed to bringing some sunshine into the lives of others with CF as others have done for her.
Angela's parents have always been proactive. They quickly learned before she could even remember the importance of physiotherapy to keep the lungs clear, pancreatic enzymes, antibiotics, and nutrition. They literally did everything in their power to keep their child alive. Now as an adult living with Cystic Fibrosis, Angela truly understands the importance of the medications, nutrition, and exercise that she cannot take for granted. She also understands the financial requirements that make it possible for a CF patient to attain what is needed to stay alive. Over the years, Angela has come to realize that not everyone with Cystic Fibrosis has been as fortunate as herself. Sadly, she personally knows individuals, one including her best friend, who passed away from the disease, who perhaps with the needed finances could have gotten what they needed and still be alive today.
Although Angela is devoted to her brainchild Breathe Believe, she also dedicates a great deal of time to assist other organizations which help touch the lives of others. Angela and her family have been involved with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for many years. Her parents started their involvement with the CF Foundation soon after their Angela was diagnosed. As years passed and Angela got older, she became an active participant in the CF Foundation, doing everything she could to help. For the past four years, she has been the "Family Chair" and has served on the committee for the Great Strides walk, which is one of the CF Foundation's largest annual fundraising events. Angela dedicates much time and effort, for she knows how crucial the CF Foundation's funds are for research in the race to find a cure.
Angela has also been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for the past nine years. Having been granted a wish from Make-A-Wish at the age of 17, Angela realized the powerful affect this had on her. From this positive experience she was inspired to give back. As a member of the "Wish Alumni," Angela has become an advocate for Make-A-Wish. She has been a guest speaker at many of their major fundraising events over the years. At her latest speaking invitation she was quoted "My next wish is to one day touch as many lives as Make-A-Wish has". Angela is determined to build the success of her foundation, Breathe Believe on her faith and principles she has gained throughout her life.
"If one person breathes easier because I lived, I will have succeeded."

'No country sends its people to gas chambers to die': SC raps Centre on sewer deaths
A three-judge bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra criticised the governments and said that more than 70 years have passed since Independence, caste discrimination still persists in the country.
SNS | New Delhi | September 18, 2019 3:35 pm
(File Photo: IANS)
The Supreme Court while observing that caste discrimination still exists in society said that nowhere in the world people are sent to "gas chambers to die". While making scathing observations on manual scavengers and people involved in sewage cleaning, the top court on Wednesday pulled up the Centre and State governments for not providing protective gears to them.
The court's remarks came while hearing the Centre's plea seeking the recall of a 2018 judgment which virtually diluted the stringent provisions of immediate arrest and no anticipatory bail for the accused on a complaint filed under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
The bench also said that it is the "most uncivilised and inhuman situation where people involved in manual scavenging are dying every day and no protective gears are provided to them and no action is taken against the authorities."
The SC questioned Attorney General KK Venugopal, appearing for the Centre. "What have you done for manual scavenging? In no other country, people enter manholes without protective gears. What have you done about it?" the bench asked.
He also pointed out that untouchability is still being practiced in this country as no one shakes hands or wants to be with the people involved in such kind of cleaning activities.
The bench also comprising justices MR Shah and BR Gavai said that such conditions must improve.
SC meanwhile, reserved order on the Centre's plea seeking recall of its 2018 judgment, the case it was originally hearing.
The Apex Court on Friday had referred the Centre's plea on the 2018 judgment to a larger Bench. The Centre had stated that the judgment diluting the stringent provision of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act had "seriously affected their (SC/ST) morale and confidence in the ability of the state to protect them".
On March 20, last year, a two-judge bench had ruled that no one can be arrested under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act without prior permission. The court also ruled that anticipatory bail can be granted if "no prima facie case is made out or where on judicial scrutiny the complaint is found to be prima facie mala fide".
The bench said a public servant can be arrested under the Act only after permission is obtained from the appointing authority. In case the accused is not a public servant, the court said that the approval of the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) will be necessary.
The court had said it was providing the safeguard "in view of acknowledged abuse of law of arrest" under the Act. "It's necessary to express concern that working of the Atrocities Act should not result in perpetuating casteism, which can have an adverse impact on integration of the society and the constitutional values," it said.
Widespread violence was witnessed following the Supreme Court order on the SC/ST Act.
However, the Parliament on August 9 last year passed a bill to overturn the apex court order concerning certain safeguards against arrest under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe law. The Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha. It had got the nod of the Lok Sabha on August 6.

It's a fact of life that we will all be affected by the loss of a loved one. That doesn't make it any easier though, does it? Often we don't feel prepared and struggle to know where to turn to for support and help. Sadly lives, young and old are lost prematurely and sometimes with little or no warning.
Wirral's Local Offer Communication Officer, Sally Tittle has been invited to join the newly launched Wirral Bereavement Advisory Group. Sally knows from talking to parents, carers and the young people themselves that their number one worry is 'What will happen to my child if I die?', 'How will I cope if my parents/carers die?'
Sally has found that there is a whole range of support services out there to help us here in Wirral. In this section we will outline the range of bereavement related support.
What do we mean by a terminal illness?

Legion Strength and Conditioning is a training facility that provides a complete service to its members. We specialise in delivering exceptional programming, coaching and training knowledge in a supportive respectful environment. We don't have promotions, we don't run ad campaigns, our reputation speaks for itself.
If you have no prior experience, Legion is the perfect place to start as we ensure to teach you everything from the ground up, safely and correctly.
If you are a seasoned athlete you can expect to be surrounded by driven teammates that will help you peak your performance.
LEGION is a fantastic place to train with some of the best coaches and programming from beginner to RX. Everyone that attends is super friendly and welcoming making it a great atmosphere to train in.
The coaching and programming at Legion are second to none. The community are supportive with where you are at in your Crossfit journey, and the coaches are able to scale and modify any WOD to cater to your skill level and goals.
I've been training at Legion for a year now. Prior to Legion I'd never trained crossfit – i'd only ever done a few classes at crossfit wanderlust in Bali when on holiday. So being a bit of a newbee and being out of my comfort zone to begin with (as you are when you do anything new) every one was SO friendly and welcoming. It's truly saying something when you're actually looking forward to waking up 4.30am to make it to a 5am class.
I'm the fastest, strongest and leanest I have ever been. I can't speak any more highly of the impact Legion has had on me in just 12 months.
I've trained at Legion since September 2018. I deliberated over joining for many months , torn between wanting to improve and on the other hand thinking I wasn't good enough to train there and thinking I would be totally out of place being relatively new to crossfit and fitness in general ! I bit the bullet and ended up joining and the reality is that nobody at Legion cares whether your really good, really bad, really old or whatever, if your a good person and you want to train hard that's really all that matters. The emphasis is on getting better and improving with good form regardless of what level your at. I had heard there was really good athletes at Legion which is true but I didn't allow myself to threatened or intimidated by this rather to use it as a platform to surround myself by people that inspire me and that I can learn from- if you have a similar attitude you will love Legion and you should join, you will be glad you did!


Following their victory over the Whig-dominated Parliament of 1681, Charles II and his Tory allies launched a multi-pronged attack on the bases of Whig influence. Tory writers like Roger L'Estrange and John Dryden and Anglican clergy continued to excoriate Whig positions and urge the duty of submission to legitimate kings as God's vicegerents on earth. The King used his right to appoint and dismiss county magistrates to purge Whigs from county government. He and his allies also initiated a series of quo warranto proceedings challenging the legality of the chartered governments of the boroughs, which had been the Whigs' main strongholds. A number of prominent Whigs were indicted and tried for sedition or treason, to remove them from the scene and intimidate others into political quiescence. Prosecutions of religious dissent were also stepped up in England, and even more vigorously in Scotland, where a number of Presbyterians were hanged or murdered by royal troops after an unsuccessful rising in the southwest.
London was an early and prominent locale for this reaction. The crown moved too quickly to try the Whig's most prominent leader, the Earl of Shaftesbury, not waiting until it had remodeled the London Corporation. As a result Shaftesbury was acquitted by a London jury and escaped into exile in the Netherlands, along with his secretary, John Locke, and a number of other prominent Whig leaders. But Charles and his supporters learned from this mistake. London's charter was the first attacked by quo warranto proceedings, in part because the Crown knew that if England's largest city succumbed to its pressures every other borough would follow. The City did surrender and a new charter was issued, strengthening the Crown's authority over the Corporation and clearing the way for a Tory take-over. The radical Whigs whose mains strength lay in the more democratic organs of City government were marginalized, although not without further resistance. In addition to the radical London joiner, Steven College, the victims of the Tory's judicial vendetta included Algernon Sidney, the younger brother of the Earl of Leicester and Lord John Russell, from the same family as the Earl of Bedford. Sidney was convicted largely on the basis of an unpublished manuscript found among his papers, construed by the court as proof of his treasonable intent.
Charles meanwhile began building an immense new palace in Winchester, probably with the intention of moving the main seat of the court away from the metropolis, just as Louis XIV moved the French court from Paris to Versailles in exactly the same period. (This project was abandoned on the King's death). He could afford to do this, and to rule without calling another Parliament, partly because of his new French pension, but even more because the growth of English trade had swelled his customs revenues, while retrenchment at court cut expenditures. The monarchy was on the road to solvency without having to rely on parliamentary taxation, another trend that made a revival of Whig resistance even more unlikely.
When Charles died in 1685 the Catholic Duke of York mounted the throne as James II. He at first appeared to rule with moderation, proclaiming his intention to preserve the existing laws and the Church of England, and calling elections for a new Parliament, which returned a heavy Tory majority. James's main rival for the throne, the Duke of Monmouth, landed in western England with a few hundred soldiers but attracted less than 2,000 followers. Royal troops quickly crushed this rebellion and Monmouth himself, along with several hundred followers, were executed in its aftermath. Most were convicted in the so-called "bloody assizes," a series of trials held in the West to exact retribution for the rebellion. Monmouth's rising provided James with an excuse to enlarge his army to 20,000, including a number of Irish Catholic troops now stationed in England. Although this remained a predominantly Protestant force a substantial minority of the officers and as many as 15% of the soldiers were Catholic, a far greater proportion than in the general population.
These measures provoked resistance not only from former Whigs but Tories and Anglicans previously committed to doctrines of indefeasible hereditary divine right, who believed the King was threatening their Church and the rule of law. When it became clear that the Tories would not support the repeal of the Test Act James tried to form a rival alliance with Whigs and radical Protestant dissenters. The bait was a policy of religious toleration grounded in a new royal Declaration of Indulgence suspending the penal laws against Catholics and Protestant Dissent alike. While a few Whigs and dissenters, including the Quaker leader William Penn, did rally to the court, most remained suspicious. James's agents proceeded with a new wave of quo warranto proceedings to remodel borough charters and engineer a majority for his policies in the next parliamentary by creatively adjusting the electoral procedures in the towns, where most members were elected. He also purged the commissions of the peace, ejecting Tory landowners and replacing them, in many cases, with men of far lower social standing who seemed willing to do his bidding.
When James ordered the clergy to read his Declaration of Indulgence from the pulpit, a number of London clergy began meeting to discuss strategies of resistance. At a meeting of leading clergy at Lambeth Palace it was decided not only that the clergy would refuse but that the Bishop of London and six of his colleagues would petition the King against his order. When this happened James ordered the seven bishops prosecuted for seditious libel. This turned them into popular Protestant heroes. Throngs of people lined the route as the bishops were escorted to prison in the Tower. Their acquittal by a London jury on June 29 initiated two days of celebrations in the city's streets, during which crowds ignited bonfires and attacked friends of the King. But James continued to control the army and the organs of government and the birth of a son to his wife, Mary of Modena, also in June, opened the prospect of a Catholic successor to consolidate his policies.
The only way to stop James appeared to be to appeal to the commander of the Dutch Army, William of Orange, who was married to the King's eldest Protestant daughter Mary, to intervene with force, and this is precisely what a group of Whig and Tory leaders now did. They promised William that if he invaded England they would use their influence to infiltrate James's army and neutralize its resistance. William decided to act on this invitation, less from concern for the English than because he wished to turn Britain from an enemy into an ally in his wars against Louis XIV. William knew that France wanted to conquer the Netherlands and that James supported this policy, since both monarchs regarded the Dutch republic as a stronghold of Protestant heresy and republicanism, whose dominance of oceanic trade harmed the commercial interests of their own kingdoms.
William's fleet landed in western England in November, carrying an army of 35,000 Dutch soldiers and English and French Protestant volunteers. Unlike Monmouth four years earlier, he attracted substantial support, both from the common people and the gentry. When a few units of the English army deserted to William, James panicked and attempted to flee his kingdom, throwing the Great Seal of England into the Thames en route, in an effort to cause administrative chaos. He was stopped by sailors on the coast who recognized one of the men with whom he was traveling. But William, who had moved into London in the King's absence and taken over the reins of government, arranged for James to escape again to France. This ended overt resistance in England (but not Scotland or Ireland) to William and his numerous allies.
The Glorious Revolution, as the events of 1688 soon became known, has traditionally been seen as a conservative event made possible not only by Dutch troops but a rare moment of consensus, in which Whigs and Tories buried their differences in the interest of preserving the ancient constitution and Protestant religion. Recent work has questioned this view. The majority of the bishops, some 400 clergy and several prominent lay politicians refused to take an oath to the new regime, earning the name of non-jurors. Although powerless for the moment they provided a potential core of resistance to the new regime, should the political situation alter. William's military supremacy also remained vulnerable, since James had the support of Louis XIV, commander of the largest army in Europe. Louis lent James French soldiers with which to invade Ireland, where Tyrconnel remained in control and the majority of the population opposed James's deposition. William successfully countered this threat by winning the Battle of the Boyne on July 1, 1690 but a French naval victory over the English fleet a short time later threatened to negate this triumph, by opening the way to an invasion of England itself. Only the outbreak of a new European war, in which William formed an alliance not only with Catholic Spain and Austria but the small state of Savoy on France's southeastern frontier, neutralized this threat by forcing Louis to reposition his army.
Equally important in the long run, the Whig and Tory groups that had united behind William in 1688 remained bitterly divided over a number of issues, including their interpretation of what had actually happened in that year. Whigs tried to interpret the Revolution as a vindication of the right of the people, through Parliament, to depose a tyrannical king and choose a successor, while most Tories vehemently resisted this conclusion. In the Convention Parliament that assembled in the wake of William's victory they attempted to declare a regency under William during the King's absence in France, as a way to avoid recognizing him as King. This effort failed, partly because William refused to go along with it, but many Tories continued to have uneasy consciences about the legitimacy of their new monarchs. The resettlement of the Church provided another bone of contention. Most moderate dissenters had supported Anglican resistance to James and they now expected to be rewarded not only with greater toleration for Protestant dissent but a policy of "comprehension" that would relax the rules of the official Church sufficiently to allow at least most Presbyterians to enter its ranks. Some Anglicans, along with the Whigs and both William and Mary, supported these measures but others resented having to make concessions, and the policy of comprehension ultimately failed. This left an ambiguous situation in which non-Anglican Protestants were now entitled to worship legally in licensed meeting houses but could not hold office, either under the Crown or in the boroughs or receive university degrees without taking communion in the Anglican Church. Some evaded this restriction through "occasional conformity," taking communion in an Anglican Church once or twice a year but otherwise worshipping in their own meeting houses. This infuriated many Tories and Anglican clergy. The appointment by William and Mary of moderate bishops further antagonized "hich church" Anglicans, as did the appearance of tracts that sought to modify elements of Biblical fundamentalism through appeals to reason. All this contributed to a perception that the Church had been placed in danger, which tempted some Anglicans to flirt with schemes for a Jacobite restoration.
Controversies over these issues were further inflamed by an unprecedented number of hotly contested elections, averaging one every two years between the Revolution and the death of Queen Anne in 1714, the collapse of prior censorship of the press and the further expansion of England's vibrant print culture of political controversy, involving the creation of daily newspapers and a flourishing "Grub Street" industry of pamphleteering. Rather than resolving the Whig-Tory contest the Glorious Revolution therefore perpetuated it, while injecting a set of new issues into the mix inherited from the Exclusion Crisis. The Whigs evolved from the party opposed to the Stuart court into the party identified with the Williamite regime, the Bank and the new financial apparatus of the 1690s and war against France, while the Tories became the party of Anglican and landed resistance to the perceived corruption and expense of the new order. In some places, including London, this led to a serious erosion of the Whig's popular base of support at the same time that the party consolidated its hold on oligarchic strutures of power. By the late 1690s Whigs usually dominated the Mayoralty and the Court of Aldermen, whereas the more open institutions of the Corporation, Common Council and Common Hall, often had Tory majorities. Both parties had their own internal divisions, however, making sweeping generalizations hazardous.

One just has to look at images of flight lines to come with unique ideas to add to scale-model dioramas. Brengun has released "Steel Containers" in 1/144 and there are four on the fret.
The first step is folding the main "box" which consists of a floor and the four sides. In fact each side is a duo-fold – you fold in the interior piece first and then fold that assembly up to create a side. Once everything is folded (and you may want to use a straight edge to help with your folds) then you add the separate steel "floor" to the inside of the container. To this assembly you add the four legs, themselves folded 90 degrees to give the distinctive look. Afterwards you turn the container over and add the separate bottom piece.
Once they're all assembled you have four steel containers you can either leave empty, or populate them with whatever you can imagine can go inside.
My thanks to Brengun for sending the containers to review.


One of the recent phenomenons in business innovation and crowdfunding is the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) . ICOs have emerged as a novel way for new companies in the blockchain space to raise funds, in which a company�s cryptographic tokens are sold to the public. In just a short time, the market for ICOs has exploded, having already raised over $2 billion by September 2017. This is a testament to the ease of raising capital with the ICO model and the magnitude of speculation in the crypto space. But with the masses of ICOs flooding the market, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish remarkable ideas from the abundance of subpar blockchain use cases.At Veritas Due Diligence, we don't think that that should be the case. We aim to uncover the truth and protect participants� interests by acting as an independent watchdog for the ICO market. We will conduct due diligence on upcoming ICOs, and assemble our findings into weekly reports for the public, so that consumers can participate in token sales with confidence and security. Veritas Due Diligence seeks to empower consumers to participate in token sales with confidence and security by providing honest, objective and thorough analysis, so that you can make informed decisions with a peace of mind.Learn more at www.veritasdd.com and join our mailing list to get free Due Diligence reports on the latest ICOs in the market .
