Q: How many bytes does memory arbiter protect? How many bytes does memory arbiter protect?
While reading "Understanding the linux kernel, 3rd edition" chapter 2, section2.1, I encounter the following statement:
In multiprocessor systems, all CPUs usually share the same memory; this means that RAM chips may be accessed concurrently by independent CPUs. Because read or write operations on a RAM chip must be performed serially, a hardware circuit called a memory arbiter is inserted between the bus and every RAM chip. Its role is to grant access to a CPU if the chip is free and to delay it if the chip is busy servicing a request by another processor.
Here i have some questions:
. how many bytes does a ram chip have? (Seem that this question is equal to "How many bytes does memory arbiter protect?" )
. as i said, "My PC has 1G memory". Does this means that the "1 G memory" is comprised of many ram chips.

A: It really depends on what RAM your computer has. Most newer computers come with 1GB minimum an it's usually a 1GB stick of RAM that allows you to upgrade by buying more sticks. The arbiter simply protects two cpu's from trying to write/read from RAM at the same time. So in essence it protects the full amount of RAM in your computer.

A: When you get one 2 GB stick of RAM, it's made up of smaller chips of RAM.  You can see this if you take the stick out and look at it.
The level of protection is probably something much smaller than a full chip.  What you're asking is not a Linux question exactly.  It depends entirely on the architecture of the machine.  My guess is that access is arbitrated at a cache line granularity.  For most modern x86 CPUs, this is 64 bytes aligned.  You'll have to check for the exact number.
If someone knows better, please correct me.

A: The "arbiter" is not inside the RAM chips; it's a part of memory coherency stuff, nowadays probably inside the CPU chips.
As for granularity - I'd guess it's L3 cacheline, so usually 64 bytes.

Here, we represented a commercial landlord who had a lease with a company that licenses space to various subtenants for their small business needs. When the tenant was unable to keep up with its rental obligations, it surrendered the space to the landlord.
The landlord then had to decide what to do with all of the subtenants in the space. Evicting each subtenant would take a significant amount of time and money. Then again, it's not every landlord that wants to take over a defaulting tenant's co-working business.
The subtenants were actually making timely rental payments to the master tenant under their various subleases. Therefore, the landlord decided to completely take over the tenant's business. The landlord created a new entity and assigned each license from the previous tenant to its new entity. Our office helped make the transition as smooth as possible by handling the agreements and assignments of the deal. We had to make sure that each subtenant was properly notified of the assignment, that the security was carried over properly, and that the landlord was as protected as possible from any liability that could have been incurred by the previous tenant. We also had to engage in a due diligence project to ensure that the tenant had the right to assign each license and all of the equipment and fixtures related thereto.
This story began with landlord suffering a defaulting tenant, but the story ends with the landlord not only getting the rent it wanted per square foot, but it got a new business venture as well.

Q: Excel VBA address of FIRST INSTANCE instead of address of each location of value I have a few employee numbers listed in Sheet1 of a workbook.  There are a few other sheets (lets call these sheets A, B, C, D, etc) in the workbook that contain the employee number with some info (maybe dates worked).  If an employee number is found in, lets say, worksheet A, it will not be in any other worksheet, but it may appear multiple time within worksheet A.
I wrote some VBA that will look in all other worksheets for the employee number listed in Sheet1 and return the cell location of where that employee number is found.  Employee numbers are listed in column A, starting at A2 and it listls the location of where the number is found to the right of the employee number.
How Sheet1 looks
Sheet "A"
Right Now, when I run my VBA Macro, it will list all the cell location of where that employee number is found, but what i want it do it is give me the cell location of only the FIRST INSTANCE of that employee number.  Then, move on to the next employee number listed in colmn A of Sheet1. This is the VBA I have so far.
Sub makeMySearch()
Dim ws As Worksheet, lastrow As Long

For Each cell In Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A" & Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row)
    recFound = 0

    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.Name <> "Sheet1" Then
            lastrow = Sheets(ws.Name).Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
            For Each cell2 In Sheets(ws.Name).Range("A1:A" & lastrow)

                If InStr(cell2.Value, cell.Value) <> 0 Then

                    recFound = recFound + 1
                    cell.Offset(0, recFound) = Split(cell2.Address, "$")(1) & Split(cell2.Address, "$")(2)

                End If
            Next cell2
        End If
    Next ws
Next cell

MsgBox "Done Finding!"

End Sub

A: This method will stop on the first find (via the Exit For)
It also shows a more efficient method rather than looping all the cells on each sheet
Sub makeMySearch()
    Dim cell  As Range, cell2 As Range
    Dim ws As Worksheet, lastrow As Long, recFound As Long
    Dim rw As Variant
    Dim dat As Variant, i As Long

    With Worksheets("Sheet1")
        dat = .Range(.Cells(2,1), .Cells(.Rows.Count,1).End(xlUp)).Value
        For i = 1 To UBound(dat, 1)
            For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
                If ws.Name <> "Sheet1" Then
                    rw = Application.Match( dat(i, 1) , ws.Columns(1), 0)
                    If Not IsError(rw) Then
                        .Cells(i+1, 2) = "A" & rw
                        ' Option: show Sheet name and cell
                        '.Cells(i+1, 2) = ws.Name & "!A" & rw
                        Exit For
                    End If
                End If
            Next ws
        Next
    End With

    MsgBox "Done Finding!"
End Sub

A: If you are saying Column A on Sheet1 is a heading row and the data starts on row 2 you just need to edit the following line:
dat = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown)).Value
to be:
dat = .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown)).Value

Expedition Arctic Greenland: The Ultimate Rugged Experience
Mike Libecki, famed National Geographic Explorer and Dell Ambassador, has been on more than 75 expeditions to the most remote areas of the world. This time, Dell's partnership with Mike allowed him and his team the opportunity to explore and document his most recent trip to an unexplored portion of Greenland, traversing -20 degree artic weather while using Dell Latitude 7212 Rugged Extreme Tablet to help navigate the rigorous terrain and climb the most remote, demanding ascent the region has to offer. Greenland: Unexplored Earth is part of a new virtual reality (VR) series documenting Mike's adventures. Mike and his team used the power of Dell Precision workstations to create these 360-degree VR experiences with the goal of inviting people to explore places they never dreamed of going, and give them a stronger appreciation for the planet, particularly with the growing impact of climate change.
Here's Mike's experience of the 40-day exploration in Greenland, in his own words:
Exploration is my passion and has been in my blood for generations. I'm fortunate to be able to make my living as a modern-day adventurer, working (and playing!) in the world's most remote regions. I'm a climber, and seek mountains, and the largest rock walls in the world that haven't been touched by anyone else. I never cease to be amazed by this planet on which we're blessed to live.
I have spent more than an accumulated year of my life on expeditions in Greenland (12 and counting, to be exact), since my first time there in 1998. Naturally, it's a dreamland for climbers, kayakers, skiers and lovers of nature seeking remote unspoiled Earth.
However, during my last expedition to Greenland last year, I observed the changing ice levels and glacial formations. It made me want to redouble my efforts to raise awareness about the beauty and wonder of the arctic world and let people see the raw power and magic of our planet before these last untouched tracts are changed forever or gone completely. Thanks to Dell and a crew of filmmakers and fellow explorers, we recorded this last adventure in VR to share this piece of our world that they will likely never experience otherwise.
We recorded footage in 8K high-definition, 360-degree VR to ensure a high degree of personalization and intimacy to the experience. We wanted an armchair viewer with the headset on to feel like he is right next to me as I dangle 300-feet off the ground or paddleboard alongside swimming polar bears. You really get a sense of the majesty of these environments when you are totally submerged in it via VR. The 360-degree video captures the essence of exploring in a way that a static picture or standard video cannot. We used powerful Dell Precision workstations to create this experience and recently premiered it for attendees at CES and the Sundance Film Festival. When people removed their headsets, they exuded an energy similar to what I felt on my journey.
The Greenland experience itself would also not have been possible without durable technology for the 40-day journey. The gear we use in the field cannot fail, and I knew from my previous adventures using the Dell Rugged tablet that I could rely on it 100 percent.
We set sail into the unknown Greenland eastern sea and put the Dell Latitude 7212 Rugged Extreme Tablet to the absolute test. For six days, the boat was stuck surrounded by ice. We looked for a passage out of the sea ice using the Dell Rugged tablet with a drone.
We loaded the Dell Rugged tablet into a haul bag and launched it off of the 2,000 foot wall to see if it would survive – and it did. Though the screen was cracked from the fall, it powered right up when we got to the bottom. As I begin planning my next adventure, one thing I know for certain is that I can rely on Dell Rugged.
The Dell Rugged tablet helped take us to some of the most remote places on earth, handling everything we threw its way…literally.
Now, with the ability to record and share my experiences using VR technology, we can bring these incredible experiences to more people and help shine a spotlight on solving some of our world's most important issues, like protecting our planet.
It's amazing to think about the future of exploration with powerful technology.

The Secret World
The Secret World supports multiplayer online mode (MMORPG) and is a role-playing game. It was developed by Norwegian company Funcom in 2002. The official date of release was July 3, 2012. In 2017, the game was restarted, with a new name — Secret World Legends — and a free-to-play game model.
Release Name: The Secret World
Platform: Microsoft Windows (for PC)
Developer(s): Funcom
Genre(s): MMORPG
The Secret World review
On the one hand, the game world of TSW is similar to ours — it is also full of cars, urban landscapes and other common things that have become ordinary. The Secret World Free Download. But in parallel with it, another world coexists in the game — filled with magic, conspiracies and war for domination. In these conditions you have to find and solve the riddles of the ancient clans in modern London, New York and Seoul.
The game has no classes and levels. The development of the character takes place through a set of strength and selection of adequate equipment. You can increase the strength by typing points in the battle or completing the task. By the way, the battle system in the game is a bit like a shooter from the 3rd person. The number of forces increases when you receive points for completed tasks or won battles. At the same time, the gamer can use seven active skills and seven passive ones that affect active ones.
The game gives a possibility to join one of the 3 factions — Illuminati, Dragons or Templars.
The Templars, settled in modern London, combine true faith and uncompromising fanaticism. Their enemies are the Illuminati, possessed by the thirst for power. Sometimes it pushes them to betray, blackmail or lie. Their residence is located in New York. Unlike the Templars, they are not so scrupulous in choosing new allies.
Dragons are called to occupy an intermediate position between the positive Templars and merciless Illuminati. They chose Seoul for their headquarters. Confessing patience, they do not hesitate to show treachery when necessary. Screenshots

Tropical Weather Outlook: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Irma and is monitoring 2 additional tropical disturbances. The National Hurricane Center is no longer monitoring Harvey. Please stay tuned to your local National Weather Service for the latest updates.
Disturbance 1: Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure located about 1,000 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands are gradually becoming better organized. Conditions appear conducive for continued development of this system. There is a high likelihood that a tropical depression or tropical storm will form within the next day or two while the disturbance moves west-northwestward at 10 – 15 mph over the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
Disturbance 2: A trough of low pressure located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is producing numerous showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are conducive for gradual development, and this system is likely to become a tropical depression during the next couple of days while it meanders over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico/ Regardless of development, heavy rains associated with this disturbance are likely over portions of eastern Mexico during the remainder of the week.
Hurricane Irma: The distinct eye center of Hurricane Irma is located near latitude 16.7 North, longitude 57.7 West. Irma is moving toward the west near 14 miles per hour and this general motion is expected to continue today, followed by a turn toward the west-northwest tonight. On the forecast track, the dangerous core of Irma will move near or over portions of the northern Leeward Islands tonight and early Wednesday.
Reports from a NOAA and U.S Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate Irma continues to strengthen and maximum sustained winds have increased to near 175 mph with higher gusts. Irma is an extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely during the next day or two, but Irma is forecast to remain a powerful category 4 or 5 hurricane during the next couple of days. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles from the center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles. The latest estimated minimum central pressure from the aircraft data is 929 mb.

Q: Creating a Migration for Mikro-Orm I'm currently trying to a create a new migration in my project after the initial one. I started with a script and although it's running throughout with no errors, the actual job didn't go through.
yarn mikro-orm migration:create
I decided to turn my script off and use the above CLI to get it working, and it still hasn't created but has continuously given my an output of...
No changes required, schema is up-to-date
I've already ran through an update on my schema to check if anything was wrong but there were no errors.

A: What happens when you run migration:up?
I recommend experimenting with these commands:
npx mikro-orm migration:up       # Migrate up to the latest version
npx mikro-orm migration:down     # Migrate one step down
npx mikro-orm migration:list     # List all executed migrations
npx mikro-orm migration:pending  # List all pending migrations

A: I have been struggled for a while before I can come up with this.

*

*If you are working on Typescript, check if your mikro-orm config look up entities in JS or TS. I have tried several times for having updated the TS files, forgetting to build the JS files but run mikro-orm migration:create directly. It makes the CLI checking on the unchanged JS files and response 'no changes' required.

*Besides of above, I also find clearing the mikro-orm cache, and generate new cache helps me to ensure I am in a freshly-new state.
In summary, my not-so-smart steps are:
yarn build // or the build command of your project
npx mikro-orm cache:clear // clear all cache
npx mikro-orm cache:generate // re-generate JS cache...
npx mikro-orm cache:generate --ts // ...or re-generate TS cache
npx mikro-orm migration:create

Ice Storm, Log Supplier & The Building Site | Log Cabin Rental Business Startup - Cabinstartup.com - DIY Log home.
One of the problems with this site is the grade. Even though we added some dirt to the ridge when the pond was installed, there is almost a 4′ difference between the front and the back of where the cabin will sit. This makes my life a little more difficult as more block for the foundation will need to be set and erosion becomes a concern. The other option is to move the cabin up in the field more where it may sit a little more level but then we take the chance of ruining the view of the pond. As it stands right now, I am going to try and keep the view down into the valley and the pond.
Another concern is the trees that will be surrounding the cabin. I learned the hard way that trees close to buildings are not a good thing. About four years ago, I had to climb on an ice covered roof of a property we owned and cut an 8″ diameter limb out of the roof. Nothing says danger like running a chainsaw on an ice covered roof! I learned my lesson that winter and promised any property I owned would not have trees close to any structure. While that sounds like a good idea, log cabins and trees go hand in hand! There is no way I can cut all the trees back from the cabin. I am going to have to find a happy medium and only take out weak trees and trim up the others before I get too far along in the process. I think this would be something good to get done while waiting for the log package to be delivered.

The 4′ difference could be an advatage if you dig and like you mentioned put a deck in place. Hot tubs are great but require a power source have you considered were your utilities are to come from. I'm sure this has been considered just not mentioned.
The kitchen area should be located away from the bathroom .There have been many embarassing episodes I am sure with odors and sound effects.I am not joking on this ,,,,,,,,,,,something to give some thought to.I know it would take some rework of your plan and is probably to late to correct in your 1st Cabin,however future facilities should be corrected IMO.
We are planning cabin rentals on our property in southetn ohio. I was wondering how you went about getting it started, such as did you have to get your property rezoned as commercial. We do have a business licenses already. The electric company says we will be considered commercial to them. We have no utilities at this time and are just trying to figure this all out. Your help would be much appreciated.

Q: Alternative for random generator as fast as erand48() in multithreaded context? I have a multithreaded program where each thread calls the function erand48() to generate a random number. Each thread has its own private random seed so the seed isn't shared. However, erand48() isn't thread-safe as said in the specification.
I have tried replacing erand48() with random() which is thread-safe, but it is much much slower and performance is my first concern.
I would also specify that I do not know the number of generated values in advance, so I can't pregenerate all of the values as other blogs suggested
Would there be any alternative for erand48() as fast as it and is thread-safe?

A:
However, erand48() isn't thread-safe as said in the specification.

This is wrong, erand48() was made specifically as a thread-safe version of drand48(). To quote Open Group:

By using different arguments, erand48(), nrand48() and jrand48() allow
  separate modules of a large program to generate several independent
  streams of pseudo-random numbers, that is the sequence of numbers in
  each stream will not depend upon how many times the routines are
  called to generate numbers for the other streams.

You just have to make sure to "seed" it in each thread, perhaps as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26353855/4454124.

Update: erand48() and similar functions are supposed to be thread-safe, as per POSIX, but it would appear that they are not in glibc as they do modify a global random generator state buffer. To ensure thread safety, you can use the *_r variants, which are GNU extension. The generator state buffer is passed in with these functions.

A: Have you considered in line code? You don't say how good a random number generator you want. Older versions of random() isn't reckoned to be all that good by many statistical tests.
If you look up "List of random number generators" on Wikipedia, at the bottom of the list there is "Xoroshiro128+" described as "one of the fastest generators on modern 64-bit CPUs" following the links to it's Wikipedia page and thence to the Implementation section you will find several versions listed including one in C. Maybe this could be incorporated in your code with modifications to ensure that it is thread safe (no static variables)?
There is an article on thread safe code here
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_71/com.ibm.aix.genprogc/writing_reentrant_thread_safe_code.htm
And on a thread safe random number generator here

`Intelligent design' movement dealt a blow, but not mortally wounded
Further criticism of Judge Jones' flawed ruling in the Dover (Kitzmiller, et al v. Dover School District, et al) trial. Some of this is getting a bit stale because of the Christmas break. My comments are bold and in square brackets. There are hundreds of articles that slavishly follow each other in claiming that Judge Jones has proved that ID is religion, not science. None of these journalists seem to consider that Judge Jones is, after all, just a lawyer. So whence came Judge Jones' infallible understanding of ID, science and religion, such that he can infallibly pronounce that ID is not science, but religion? It seems that all those philosophers of science who over the last several decades have reached a near-consensus, that it is impossible to define in a principled, objective, way what is, and is not, "science", have all wasted their time. All they need now to do is ask Judge John E. Jones, and he will infallibly rule on their questions! :-) So I propose to ignore those wishful thinking, `follow the herd' articles since they will inevitably run out of steam and then their authors will start to notice that their reports of ID's death have been greatly exaggerated and indeed ID is very much alive!
Evolution debate moving to new battlegrounds: `Intelligent design' movement dealt a blow, but not mortally wounded, MSNBC, Alan Boyle, Dec. 20, 2005 Mainstream science groups hailed Tuesday's "intelligent-design" ruling as a slam-dunk for evolution. The judge in the case took extra pains to lay out a legal view of science vs. religion, saying he hoped it would head off the "obvious waste of judicial and other resources" on yet another court challenge. But even Darwin's staunchest defenders acknowledge that the legal battle over intelligent design, or ID, is shifting to new grounds. ID's proponents are already reshaping their arguments as a case of academic freedom vs. an overreaching "activist federal judge." [On "overreaching "activist federal judge" see John West's excellent blog posts:"Dover in Review, Part 1: Is Judge Jones an activist judge?" and "Dover in Review, pt. 2: Did Judge Jones read the evidence submitted to him in the Dover trial?" I expect that when the dust has settled, it will not just be IDists who consider that Judge Jones overreached himself in presuming that he could infallibly define what is "science" and "religion" and then decree that ID is the latter. I would not be surprised if he comes under criticism by philosophers of science and his own legal profession, as the next article points out. As for "activist federal judge", Judge Jones himself expected that criticism, "Those who disagree with our holding will likely mark it as the product of an activist judge"!]
"Let no one think this debate is over. If there's any lesson to be learned, it's that this debate is never over," said Casey Luskin, an attorney at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute, which came in for criticism in the ruling from U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III. [Which is interesting since Discovery Institute itself was not even a party to the trial having publicly called the Dover policy "misguided" and requesting its "withdrawal".]
...The defenders of evolutionary theory gushed over the opinion during a celebratory news conference in Harrisburg, Pa. "This decision is a major victory for science, and a major victory for science education," Eugenie Scott, executive director of the California-based National Center for Science Education, told reporters. The judge could have issued a much narrower opinion, finding merely that the Dover Area School Board in Pennsylvania acted with a religious purpose when it required biology teachers to refer to intelligent design. While that was indeed part of the ruling, much more of the 139-page opinion was devoted to the proposition that intelligent design was repackaged creationism rather than science. [Judge Jones is simply wrong on that. Creationism is based on the Bible but ID is based solely on the evidence of nature. Historian Ronald L. Numbers, an authority on creationism. admits that "the creationist label is inaccurate when it comes to the ID movement. But ... its `the easiest way to discredit intelligent design'!]
At times, Jones sounded more like a biology professor than a judge - for example, when he countered the view that some biological mechanisms were irreducibly complex by referring to "exaptation," the idea that a mechanism that was developed for one purpose could be adapted to another [Which goes to show that Jones had his own strongly preconceived ideas about evolution and ID and so the expert witness testimony of Mike Behe, Stephen Fuller and Scott Minnich was simply a waste of time-Judge Jones had his mind already made up before the trial started! It is not up to Judge Jones to offer his own off-the-cuff explanation of an "irreducibly complex" system as an "exaptation". It is the scientific community's task to make that counter-explanation - if they can. As Mike Behe noted in The New York Times:
"That was a real drag," said Michael J. Behe, a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University who was the star witness for the intelligent design side. "I think he really went way over what he as a judge is entitled to say." Dr. Behe added: "He talks about the ground rules of science. What has a judge to do with the ground rules of science? I think he just chose sides and echoed the arguments and just made assertions about our arguments."]
.... "In my opinion, this decision is unconstitutional," Luskin [said] interview. "The government has no business telling people how they should perceive evolution and religion." [Agreed. The First Amendment says that Congress shall not establish a State religion. It is absurd to twist that into a school board requiring the reading of a 1-minute statement before an evolution class, informing students that there are problems with the theory of evolution and there is ID material in the library for any student who is interested in an alternative, is Congress establishing a religion!]
A statement from John West, associate director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, struck a similar tone: "The Dover decision is to stop the spread of a scientific idea and even to prevent criticism of Darwinian evolution through government-imposed censorship rather than open debate, and it won't work." [If the emphasis in on stop then the Darwinist (and I include Judge Jones as a Darwinist) tactics won't work. But such tactics can slow ID's progress, as in fact the ACLU admits below.]
.... "It is our hope that today's decision will slow other school districts who might be thinking about moving forward" with ID-friendly policies, said Witold Walczak, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union in Pennsylvania. [Since polls (e.g. CBS, Pew, Zogby) consistently show that the majority want alternatives to evolution (including ID) taught in schools, the ACLU is using the tactics of legal intimidation to deny Americans their First Amendment right to free speech.]
Eric Rothschild, another member of the plaintiffs' legal team, noted that through the years, the legal challenges to evolution education have been mounted in the name of creationism, then creation science, then intelligent design. "We expect another change in labels," he said, "whether it's 'sudden appearance,' or this 'teach the controversy' thing." [Rothschild is deluding himself (or worse). ID is not, and never was, "creationism" or "creation science", irrespective of what the ACLU, NCSE, Judge Jones, and their Darwinist ilk, claim. Therefore there will be no change of ID's name.]
With the Dover case done, the political spotlight is now likely to shift to Georgia, where a suburban Atlanta school district is challenging a federal ban on textbook stickers questioning evolution; and Kansas, where the state school board recently endorsed ID-friendly curriculum standards. But new legal frontiers could well open up in the months to come. [Indeed, since Dover was just a District Court case, it is not binding on any other State, and other legal cases could ignore or dissent from Judge Jones' ruling. In fact, so unexpectedly favourable was Judge Jones' ruling to the ACLU/NCSE, they may be reluctant to challenge ID anywhere else for fear of getting a less favourable ruling.]
Luskin [said] that the Discovery Institute would prefer to focus in the future on public-school teachers who want to bring up intelligent design, rather than on school districts who want to force intelligent design into the science curriculum. In fact, the institute has tried to distance itself from the Dover case for that reason. "Discovery's policy has always been that we don't think intelligent design should be mandated. We've always opposed what the Dover school district did," Luskin said. "We do think intelligent design should be preserved as a constitutional right. I don't think this decision is going to stop teachers outside the Central District of Pennsylvania from teaching intelligent design." In his written statement, West said "the institute strongly supports the freedom of teachers to discuss intelligent design in an objective manner on a voluntary basis." [There is an important difference between where teachers want to teach ID and where it is forced on them, as in Dover. The ACLU/NCSE are really going to look like the bullies they are if they try to use legal intimidation to stop teachers who want to teach ID from doing so.]
... One case has already attracted some attention: the case of Michigan's Gull Lake Community Schools, where two teachers are thinking about filing a lawsuit alleging that the district is interfering with their right to refer to intelligent design. Past judicial opinions have made clear that there are limits to a teacher's free-speech rights in public schools, particularly if the teacher appears to advocate a particular religious view. Scott said Tuesday's court ruling in Kitzmiller v. Dover only reinforced those limits. "I think it would be exceedingly unwise for anyone, given the court record of the Kitzmiller case, to argue something like the Gill Lake position where teachers have a constitutional right to teach bad science to their students," Scott said. ... [Again, note the implied threat of legal retaliation. Clearly Scott and her Darwinist ilk don't care a fig for "a teacher's free-speech rights in public schools"! It really is amazing that Americans, who have historically stood for the right of free speech around the world, allow the ACLU/AUSCS/NCSE to ride roughshod over their civil rights at home.]
Intelligent design case may rouse supporters: Advocates say the judge went over the line in his criticism, which may lead to an outpouring of support, The Wichita Eagle/AP, Dec. 22, 2005, Rachel Zoll ... A federal judge's ruling that intelligent design is faith masquerading as science is being viewed by all sides involved with the issue as a setback, though not a fatal blow, for the movement promoting the concept as an alternative to evolution. [It is a "setback" in the sense that if Judge Jones had correctly rule that ID is not "religion" (he did not even have to rule on whether ID was "science") and therefore it was not unconstitutional to teach ID in science classes, then it would be a major step forward for ID. But it is not as though ID was being taught in schools (one can hardly call a 1-minute statement advising students in one high school that there is an ID book in the library as teaching ID, irrespective of the ACLU/AUSCS/NCSE's paranoia!). The ID movement's Teach the Controversy strategy is not affected by Dover, and if anything, this will strengthen the hand of the Discovery Institute against those like the Thomas More Law Center who try to hijack ID for their own (however worthy in their own right) causes.]
Intelligent-design advocates say the judge's lengthy, pointed rebuke of the concept Tuesday in a case out of Pennsylvania may energize supporters, many of whom view his opinion as part of a broader pattern of hostility by courts and the government to religion in public schools. [What I hope it will do is focus IDists on ID itself, i.e. only on 1) positive evidence and arguments for design in nature; and 2) negative arguments against the denial of design in nature (e.g. Darwinism), rather than issues peripheral to ID, such as Biblical literalism, etc.]
... "This decision is a poster child for a half-century secularist reign of terror that's coming to a rapid end with Justice Roberts and soon-to-be Justice Alito," said Richard Land, who is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission .... "This was an extremely injudicious judge who went way, way beyond his boundaries -- if he had any eyes on advancing up the judicial ladder, he just sawed off the bottom rung." [It is not so much Judge Jones' decision that is his problem in "advancing up the judicial ladder" but the injudicious and sloppy way that he reached it. I am sure that there would be many among his legal colleagues who, even if they disagreed with ID, would be highly critical of Judge Jones' `hatchet job' modus operandi. See for example, Chicago Law School Professor Albert Alschuler's (who appears not to agree with ID) strong criticism (in part 1 and part 2 of what will be a 3-part critique) of Judge Jones' judgment, and in fact of Judge Jones himself:
While professing to offer no opinion concerning the truth of intelligent design, the court consistently reveals its contempt for this theory. Most of the Dover opinion says in effect to the proponents of intelligent design, "We know who you are. You're Bible-thumpers." The opinion begins, "The religious movement known as Fundamentalism began in nineteenth century America as a response to social changes, new religious thought, and Darwinism. Religiously motivated groups pushed state legislatures to adopt laws prohibiting public schools from teaching evolution, culminating in the Scopes 'monkey trial' of 1925." When the Fundamentalists (the court often capitalizes the word) found themselves unable to ban Darwinism, they championed "balanced treatment," then "creation science," and finally "intelligent design." According to the court, the agenda never changed. Dover is simply Scopes trial redux. The proponents of intelligent design are guilty by association, and today's yahoos are merely yesterday's reincarnated. If fundamentalism still means what it meant in the early twentieth century, however -- accepting the Bible as literal truth -- the champions of intelligent design are not fundamentalists. They uniformly disclaim reliance on the Book and focus only on where the biological evidence leads. The court's response - "well, that's what they say, but we know what they mean" - is uncivil, an illustration of the dismissive and contemptuous treatment that characterizes much contemporary discourse. Once we know who you are, we need not listen. We've heard it all already.]
"This galvanizes the Christian community," said William Dembski, a leading proponent of the theory and a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, a Seattle think tank that promotes intelligent-design research. "People I'm talking to say we're going to be raising a whole lot more funds now." [I hate to disagree with Bill Dembski, but `galvanizing the Christian community', is not necessarily in ID's best interests. The problem is that the Christian community finds it very difficult to separate out design as an empirical scientific theory from Christian-specific issues, e.g. reconciling the Bible and science, etc. This very Dover debacle was caused by a no doubt well-meaning Christian organization, The Thomas More Law Center, with a worthy mission of "Defending the Religious Freedom of Christians", jumping on the ID bandwagon to advance its own agenda, and giving a free kick to opponents of ID who claim it is just Biblical creationism in disguise. It needs to be made crystal clear to "the Christian community" (and I speak as an evangelical Christian Old-Earth creationist) that while their support is welcomed, ID is a secular scientific theory that, while it has Christian implications (as Darwinism also has), it is not in itself necessarily Christian or even religious.]
From a legal perspective, the decision's immediate consequences are very limited. The school system is not expected to appeal, because several board members who backed intelligent design were voted out of office in November and replaced by candidates who reject the policy. [It will be interesting to see if the new Dover board does get hit with $1 million plus legal costs. If it does, it might yet consider an appeal, so the Darwinists might be afraid to get such a favourable ruling overturned. But OTOH, they would want to deter any other board from considering mentioning ID. My guess is that they will make it less on the understanding that the new board does not appeal, but still enough to deter any other board.]
The court defeat also comes at a time when movement leaders are failing to win support even among scientists sympathetic to their religious worldview. The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, an association of more than 100 U.S. schools, said its members have a wide range of approaches to the issue. In fact, most conservative Christian colleges are far from embracing intelligent design. The John Templeton Foundation, a major funder of projects that aim to reconcile religion and science, has given none of its $36 million in annual science-related grants to intelligent-design research, said foundation spokeswoman Pamela Thompson. "We do not consider it a hard science," she said. "We feel that it is not something that's important to universities." Dembski, of the Discovery Institute, formerly taught at Baylor University, a Baptist school in Texas, but left following opposition on the issue from other faculty members. He now leads the Center for Science and Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. Uko Zylstra, a biologist and dean for natural sciences at Calvin College, a Christian school in Grand Rapids, Mich., said intelligent design is not catching on at his college and others because it is based on philosophy, not science. "We don't think this is how the problem should be articulated," Zylstra said. "The strength of intelligent design is as an apologetic -- that God is the creator, but not a scientific explanation." [But this is just the point - ID is not based on a "religious worldview"! If it was, then there would not be so much opposition from those with a "religious worldview" axe to grind. It is in fact evidence that ID has carved out for itself its own unique `ecological niche' that both atheists and many theists are opposed to it! The bottom line is that ID can just ignore them (i.e. not waste its time and energy trying the convince those who, for various reasons, will never be convinced) and get on with developing its own evidence and arguments. If ID is right (as I firmly believe it is) then the evidence for design in nature won't go away and the Darwinists (and Christian `theistic Darwinist' compatibilists) will have more and more problems trying to explain it away.]
Michael Cromartie, an evangelical and vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington institute that addresses religious issues, said it was important to remember that the movement is "very, very young." He said it was too new to be judged a success or failure. "There are all kinds of smart, young scientists who are emboldened by the literature they read in the intelligent-design movement and they're going to become important professors," Cromartie said. "Dover wasn't a Supreme Court decision. It's a local decision. Local decisions are very important, but they don't end the conversation." ... [A very important point. As Kuhn observed, it is in fact the norm that major scientific revolutions take at least a generation to overcome the prejudices of those "whose minds are stocked with a multitude of facts all viewed, during a long course of years, from a point of view directly opposite to" it:
"Equally, it is why, before they can hope to communicate fully, one group or the other must experience the conversion that we have been calling a paradigm shift. Just because it is a transition between incommensurables, the transition between competing paradigms cannot be made a step at a time, forced by logic and neutral experience. Like the gestalt switch, it must occur all at once (though not necessarily in an instant) or not at all. How, then, are scientists brought to make this transposition? Part of the answer is that they are very often not. Copernicanism made few converts for almost a century after Copernicus' death. Newton's work was not generally accepted, particularly on the Continent, for more than half a century after the Principia appeared. Priestley never accepted the oxygen theory, nor Lord Kelvin the electromagnetic theory, and so on. The difficulties of conversion have often been noted by scientists themselves. Darwin, in a particularly perceptive passage at the end of his Origin of Species, wrote.. `Although I am fully convinced of the truth of the views given in this volume .... I by no means expect to convince experienced naturalists whose minds are stocked with a multitude of facts all viewed, during a long course of years, from a point of view directly opposite to mine. ... [B]ut I look with confidence to the future,-to young and rising naturalists, who will be able to view both sides of the question with impartiality.' And Max Planck, surveying his own career in his Scientific Autobiography, sadly remarked that `a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.'" (Kuhn T.S., "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," [1962], University of Chicago Press: Chicago IL, Third edition, 1996, pp.150-151)]

Furnas is another area of Sao Miguel Azores that is a must see.
I remember my first visit to the area, I was stunned to see Geo thermal activity first hand. As you walk near Furnas lake there are areas of the ground that actually bubble because steam is working its way up. It is in this area where you can actually bury a pot of food in the ground and it will cook for you! More on that soon.
The other part of my first visit to the area that I remember vividly are the large holes in the ground with fiercely bubbling water. These are called calderas and you would not dare to step too close to them as it is obvious danger. They produce quite a bit of steam and have a sulfuric smell. When I first brought my daughter there she sat on my shoulders with her nose plugged! It's really not bad, you really only smell it when you are right by it. Move away a few steps and you can't smell it.
Speaking of smells, take time to smell the hydrangeas!
There are over 20 thermal springs in the town and lots of evidence of geo-thermal activity. The town itself has some wonderful homes built in an era when the wealthy residents of the island were building homes there. And there are plenty of beautiful gardens to observe right in the town. I recommend taking a stroll through out the town.
Have a little patience when driving in and out, it is easy to turn the wrong way and end up where you started! Actually I have found it easy to do that in many parts of the islands. One of my uncles is famous for his "adventures" - just another word for getting lost! But remember, you're on vacation and taking a wrong turn won't lead to any trouble, just seeing a new sight.
Lagoa das Furnas is a very scenic place to visit. If you plan your visit you can even have a meal there that is cooked right in the ground! This is called a Cozida .
Cozidas are basically a stew of meats and vegetables mixed together in a pot. The pot is put into the ground and a few hours later it is cooked. I have had this many times and have always been very happy with the meal. It really is interesting to watch your pot of food placed in a hole in the ground, explore the area for a few hours and then go back to get your food and have a nice meal.
The lake itself is the second largest, freshwater lake on San Miguel Island. It is just under two square kilometers. This is a potentially active volcano and on my last visit there I was amazed by something I had not noticed before. I went out on a pedal boat with my wife to enjoy the sun and see the area from a new perspective. When we got out a fair distance from the beach we noticed a long line in the water that looked a bit like the wake of a boat. When we got closer we realized that it was actually bubbles coming up. There is a straight pathway of bubbles about 1 meter wide by about 1500 meters long (judging by the lakes dimensions of 2025x1600 meters). The paranoid part of me started to think that maybe this was dangerous! When I got back to shore my father assured me that it has always been that way - well at least as long as he remembers. And the last eruption in this volcano occurred in 1630. Anyhow, it's really quite a sight to see.
My research since this last visit tells me that the calderas (thermal springs) on the shore reach temperatures of 61.5 degrees Celsius (42.7 F). It's simply amazing to see in person and be in awe of the power of mother nature.
It is quite possible to hike all the way around the lake. Plan for a couple hours of walking. On the far end of the lake (from where you would park by the beach) is a church worth checking out up close.
After visiting the lake it is worth taking a detour on your way out. As you drive out along the road beside the lake (the only road out) you will eventually have a chance to turn left. If you turn left and then left again you will go up the hill and to the top of the crater. From there you will have a fantastic view of the lake, the town, and all of the crater.
If you like gardens this is a must see on San Miguel. Terra Nostra Park is in the town of Furnas and is quite beautiful.
There are a wide variety of trees, bushes and flowers planted and well cared for. Of course there is an abundance of hydrangeas like everywhere else on the island.
The walk ways are carefully tended, there are man made streams to follow, water fountains and some interesting sculptures. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention the pool filled with mineral water and fed by a hot spring!
I should mention that there is a nominal fee of a couple of Euro's to visit this park and it is well worth it.

'French Spiderman' climbs Paris skyscraper harness-free
During the stunt, bystanders at the bottom pointed smartphones toward clear blue skies as wispy clouds raced overheard in blustery winds.

French Spiderman
PARIS - Dubbed the "French Spiderman", Alain Robert scaled a skyscraper in Paris on Monday without a harness to raise funds for the renovation of Notre-Dame cathedral.
Television images showed the 56-year-old using horizontal struts running up the Engie headquarters' curved facade and a protruding structure going top-to-bottom of the 185-metre glass-fronted building in La Defense business district
Robert halted regularly to chalk his hands.
He was arrested shortly after competing for the climb.
"Because there's no money left in the government coffers, the cathedral is falling into disrepair," he told Reuters ahead of the climb. His sponsors were writing a cheque of $5,650 to help finance the renovations, he added.
Robert has climbed more than 100 structures including the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and Burj al Khalifa in Dubai, as well as the same tower in Paris in 2016.
The Archbishop of Paris is on a drive to raise more than 100 million euros to save Notre-Dame's crumbling gargoyles and gothic arches.

The CDC Foundation has revealed an updated logo, website, and tagline that is more inclusive of its work with private-sector partners.
The CDC Foundation has rolled out a refreshed brand for the first time in its two-decade history.
The Foundation revamped its logo, tagline, and website with a modern look that is more inclusive of its donors and partners, it said. The nonprofit worked with Seed Factory, a marketing firm based in Atlanta, and debuted the new look in a social video.
"The previous tagline, 'Helping CDC do more, faster,' is important and we still do that, but our donors did not see themselves and our partners did not see themselves in that tagline," said Pierce Nelson, VP of communications at the CDC Foundation. "This tagline and logo provide an opportunity for donors and partners to see themselves in what we do."
The CDC Foundation is also featuring board member and NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo in the social video to draw interest, said Nelson.
"Dikembe does his own work in public health and in the health space," Nelson explained. "We worked with him on a video to extend that coverage and interest in our brand, particularly with our donors and potential donors to make them aware of this. We were trying to have some fun, but at the same time get the message across."
The new tagline, "Together our impact is greater," is coupled with an updated logo that represents each of the CDC Foundation's stakeholders: the CDC, donors, and partner organizations. The CDC Foundation operates independently from the CDC and supports its mission in partnerships with the private sector.
Nelson also said the revamped website is part of a new focus on storytelling. The homepage was updated to prominently feature articles about the work CDC Foundation and its partners do around the world.
"At any given point in time, we have between 200 and 300 programs going on," Nelson said. "We've done programs that have ranged from addressing the tobacco epidemic around the world to preventing infections in cancer patients. We wanted to give those stories a bit more prominence and play on our website and in our ongoing work with donors and communities."

For a brief moment last night, Verizon posted details for a Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL deal that will likely go live within the next couple of hours after Google's fall hardware event and could land you a free phone, as well as a free Pixel Stand.
The deal that has (apparently) since been pulled from the My Verizon app, says to "Unleash the power of 3," and that if you buy a Pixel 3, you'll "get $799.99 off another when you add a line." Additionally, if you pre-order, you'll get a free Google Pixel Stand, the new wireless charger from Google that we expect to be announced alongside both Pixel 3 phones.
As you can see from the imagery here shared by a reader of ours (and at this reddit thread), we have a picture of the Pixel 3 XL, but our assumption is that this promo will start with the base model of the Pixel 3 – like other Verizon promos – and give you bill credits to cover the second device (up to $799.99), then make you pay for any difference in higher priced models. If that's the case, then we now have an idea of starting pricing for the Pixel 3, one of the few items that has yet to be leaked. And if correct, it sure looks like the Pixel 3 will start at $799.99 at Big Red.
You may recall that last year the regular, smaller Pixel 2 started at $649.99 and the Pixel 2 XL started at $849.99. If the Pixel 3 is starting at $800, how much will the bigger 3 XL cost? $100 more? $200 more? Tough to say since we can no longer access that promo page and we're expecting a couple of different storage options.

Spatone is a naturally occurring iron-rich mineral water which is collected and packed straight from the source in the heart of Snowdonia, North Wales It is collected, filtered and then filled straight into convenient, easy-to-open sachets. At no stage is anything added to the water changes to the water's natural composition. That means with Spatone you don't have to worry about other ingredients causing adverse reactions or complications.
Spatone is a natural source of iron that aids in maintaining healthy iron levels and is ideal for the whole family. Once sachet can provide the body's entire average (absorbed) daily iron requirement. It's the absorbed iron that matters not just the starting dose. Naturally good for you, the iron in Spatone water is naturally occurring. Clinically shown to be easily and gently absorbed it is suitable for people that experience gastrointestinal side effects from traditional high dose iron supplements.
It is not actually how much iron we consume that matters but the amount of iron that our body is able to absorb. The absorption of iron is a very complex process and iron is generally recognised as a mineral that is difficult for our system to absorb. Spatone has been scientifically shown to have a bioavailability of iron (the amount of iron available to be absorbed) of 40%. This is much higher than the iron absorption from food sources (5 - 20%) or conventional iron supplements (3 - 10%). Spatone is thus a highly effective source of iron which can be consumed to help maintain healthy iron levels or to help prevent iron deficiency during pregnancy.
Since the iron in Spatone is easily assimilated in the stomach, you only need to take a small quantity to get your entire recommended daily allowance (RDA) of absorbed iron. This is why Spatone does not result in the common side effects often associated with conventional iron supplements such as constipation, stomach irritation or headaches.
Each sachet of Spatone only contains 5mg of elemental iron but with an absorption rate of 40% you will get all the iron your body needs without having to excrete too much iron: often the cause of the unpleasant side effects experienced with iron supplementation.
100% Natural. Suitable for vegetarians, vegans, gluten and dairy free. No sugar or artifical sweeteners added.


Kraftwerks is pleased to introduce their newly redesigned supercharger system for 2006-2011 Civic Coupe (Non Si). Centered around the highly efficient Rotrex C30-94 supercharger, the Kraftwerks R18 Civic kit produces impressive results throughout the entire power band due to its patented traction drive technology. And, unlike any other forced induction system, the Kraftwerks supercharger system provides a linear power curve, torque on demand, cooler operating temperatures, and total driveability.
These Civic supercharger systems provide instant throttle response and a progressive power curve that increases all the way to redline without the typical 'spiking' or 'surging' associated with turbochargers. This unique, more useable power curve results inreduced cylinder pressures, less strain on engine components, and increased reliability. Rotrex superchargers also operate much cooler when compared to turbochargers and other supercharger systems, which reduces the engine's intake air temperature as well as its risk of detonation.
• 200hp / 160 lbs-ft Torque with OE Header and Exhaust System.
Please note: Prices vary for each kit and including tuning or black anodized housing will increase the price. Please verify the price before purchasing.
