When I let mind my do its own thing as I navigate through a trial, I end up telling myself lies (which we addressed a bit in Step 2 last week and on Tuesday of this week). I want THIS time to be different and so I have to choose to DO something different. That is what this blog is about. This series is about practical strategies that you and I can employ to think and act differently so that we can live as victors rather than victims.
If my trials are delivered 🙂 to me via a person rather than, say, a natural disaster or a physical health challenge, one of the ways I can CHOOSE (see Step 1) to respond differently is by praying FOR the very one that is wounding me or challenging me so much. Because it may be hard to come up with something to pray that doesn't fit into the "imprecatory" prayer category ("Imprecatory" prayers are those that ask God to judge the person–for an example of this, look at Psalm 55:15 "Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave."), I want to use verses in Scripture that will actually lead me to pray blessing for the person. I want to give an example of that here.
(Starting with verse 3…) Lord, I praise you and thank you that you have blessed me in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Bob belongs to you and I pray that he would know the truth that he has been given all manner of spiritual blessings today. Cause his eyes to be open afresh to the beauty and wonder of this fact!
(Now on to verse 4…) Help Bob to see that he has been CHOSEN by you and was chosen as priceless and precious from before the creation of the world. He is called and enabled and determined by you to be holy and blameless in your sight. This is SUCH grace, Lord. I pray Bob would see grace afresh as never before.
(Verse 5 is next…) In your great love, you have predestined Bob to be adopted. May he sense this truth afresh as well. That you have adopted him because it is in accordance with your pleasure and will…this is astonishing, Lord. May Bob know that it pleases you to have chosen him.
(Verse 6….) And all of this is for the praise of your glorious grace! Where would we be without grace, Lord? Open Bob's eyes to see it and that you have freely given this grace to Him in the Son you love.
(Verse 7….) In Jesus, Bob has redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins. Oh! May Bob see the beauty and wonder of this manner of love! Even this is in accordance with the riches of your grace (verse 8) which you have lavished on Bob with all wisdom and understanding. Help Bob to see that you aren't stingy with your grace, but that you LAVISH it on him, no matter what he has done, thought, said or is contemplating. No matter how far he runs, he can't outrun the lavishness of your grace.
(verse 9…) Please make known to Bob the mystery of your will and help him to sense that even this "revealing" is according to your good pleasure–that you delight to reveal your will in your way in your time.
(Verse 10…) Cause Bob not to let go of what he knows about your sovereignty, that everything you have purposed will reach the fulfillment that you intend.
(Verse 11…) In Jesus, Bob was chosen…oh! May he be astounded by that fact! You, God, work out everything in conformity with the purpose of your will. Even the things that have wounded Bob, disappointed him and angered him, you intend to fit into your perfect will.
(12…) And this is all that Bob might be for the praise of your glory. Nothing is wasted in your marvelous hands!
(Verses 13…) Bob was included and believed. He has been marked with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit. Lord, I pray that your Spirit in Bob would be so evident to Bob right now, today, that he can't deny His Presence is REAL. And even if Bob doesn't "feel" your Spirit, I pray that he would know that your Word says that your Spirit IS in Him, period. It IS a fact.
(Verse 14) Help Bob to remember that your Spirit is a deposit guaranteeing his inheritance and that Bob is one of your possessions…for the praise of your glory. Life has wonderful meaning! Thank you!
(Skipping now to 17, where Paul prays for the Ephesians)…Lord, I want to ask that you, Glorious Father, may give Bob the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that he might know you better.
(Verse 18…) I pray that the eyes of Bob's heart would be enlightened in order that he might know the hope to which you have called him and that he might see the incredible riches of Your glorious inheritance! May his searching heart find home in these wonderful truths!
(Verse 19-following…) May Bob experience Your incomparably great power…that power is like the working of Your mighty strength…that which you used to blast Christ out of death and the grave and that you used to seat him next to you in the heavenly realms… May Bob know that power personally, intimately, and may he find all of these things immeasurably more satisfying than anything this planet offers him.
In Christ's Name I pray, Amen.
Praying this way for someone can be so hard when they seem bent on wounding us. But what I find as I do this (and I have found this to be true even as I type this prayer for my husband here), something changes in me. Trials will continue to come my way. People will continue to wound me, reject me. Circumstances will continue to disappoint, but as I choose to pray for the people through whom the trials come, I will experience a softened heart. A heart that wants what God wants in this situation–I will begin to think God's thoughts after him, which is my goal.
Level 1: Open your bible to Ephesians 1:15-21 and use this passage to pray for someone who is a vehicle for trials in your life. Share with us here in the comments how it affects you to pray for someone this way.
Level 2: Select one or all of these passages to pray for another through: Colossians 1:9-12; Philippians 1:3-11; Ephesians 2:1-10. Please share with us in the comments how it affects you to pray for someone this way.
Level 3: Search out verses on your own that relate to the trial you are experiencing. Pray for yourself or others, using the verses you discover to guide you. Blueletterbible.org is a great website with many resources that can help you as you do this kind of digging! Please share with us how God uses this experience for you.
Will you help me by posting your comments here? That would be a great encouragement. Thanks!

9 December 1959: At Bloomfield, Connecticut, U.S. Air Force Captain Walter J. Hodgson test pilot and Major William J. Davis flew a Kaman H-43B-KA Huskie, 58-1848, to an altitude of 9,097 meters (29,845.8 feet), setting a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Record for Altitude Without Payload.¹
The helicopter lifted off at 9:12 a.m., after a 1 hour, 12 minute weather delay, and reached its peak altitude at 10:30½. It landed back at Bloomfield after a flight of 1 hour, 53 minutes. 58-1848 was described as being in "mission configuration," carrying all equipment for a normal operational flight. 58-1848 weighed 5,443 pounds (2,469 kilograms) at takeoff.
It was reported that this was the first altitude record for helicopters accomplished with two pilots on board.
Davis and Hodgson were presented with the Frederick L. Feinberg Award in 1960, for "demonstrating outstanding skills or achievement," by the American Helicopter Society.
The Kaman Aircraft Corporation H-43 Huskie was a single-engine helicopter using a unique arrangement of counter-rotating and intermeshing rotors. The two rotors turning in opposite directions counteracted the torque effect, eliminating the need for a anti-torque tail rotor. In helicopters using a tail rotor, as much as 30% of the total engine power is used to drive the tail rotor. By eliminating that requirement, the total engine power could be used to produce lift. The Huskie could lift more weight and climb higher than a similar size helicopter with the same engine. Also, retreating blade stall was significantly reduced.
Anton Flettner, 1885–1961. (Library of Congress)
The Kaman Huskie was designed by German inventor Anton Flettner. He had designed and built the Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri. He was brought to the United States at the end of World War II under Operation Paperclip, and went to work at Kaman Aircraft Corporation, Bloomfield, Connecticut.
The Huskie was used by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, primarily for short range rescue operations. It was operated by two pilots and two rescue crewmen.
The fuselage of the H-43 was 25.0 feet (7.62 meters) long. Each rotor had a diameter of 47.0 feet (14.33 meters). The overall height was 15 feet, 6 inches (4.724 meters).
The H-43B was powered by one Lycoming T53-L-1B turboshaft engine, rated at 860 shaft horsepower at 21,510 r.p.m. The engine uses a 5-stage axial-flow, 1 stage centrifugal-flow, compressor with a single stage gas producer turbine and single-stage power turbine. A reverse-flow combustion section allows significant reduction in the the engine's total length. The power turbine drives the output shaft through a 3.22:1 gear reduction. The T53-L-1 is 3 feet, 11.8 inches (1.214 meters) long and 1 foot, 11.0 inches (0.584 meters) in diameter. It weighs 460 pounds (209 kilograms).
The Huskie's maximum speed was 107 miles per hour (172 kilometers per hour). Its hover ceiling in ground effect (HIGE) was 20,000 feet (6,096 meters) and it had a range of 250 miles (402 kilometers).
Kaman H-43B-KA Huskie 58-1848 was reclassified as HH-43B in 1962. It was retired to The Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, Arizona, in 1972, and was scrapped in 1977.

20 October 1956: Bell Aircraft Corporation Chief Pilot Floyd W. Carlson and Chief Experimental Test Pilot Elton J. Smith made the first flight of the Bell Model 204 (designated XH-40-BF serial number 55-4459 by the United States Army) at Bell's helicopter factory in Hurst, Texas.
The XH-40 is a six-place, turboshaft-powered light helicopter, designed with a primary mission of battlefield medical evacuation. Operated by one or two pilots, it could carry four passengers, or two litter patients with an attendant. The prototype's fuselage was 39 feet, 3.85 inches (12.294 meters) long. The overall length of the helicopter with rotors turning was 53 feet, 4.00 inches (16.256 meters). The height (to the top of the tail rotor arc) is 14 feet, 7.00 inches (4.445 meters). The empty weight of the XH-40 was 3,693 pounds (1,675 kilograms), with a maximum gross weight of 5,650 pounds (2,563 kilograms).

The two blade semi-rigid, under-slung main rotor had a diameter of 44 feet, 0.00 inches (12.294 meters), and turned counter clockwise when viewed from above. (The advancing blade is on the helicopter's right.) The blades used a symmetrical airfoil. They had a chord of 1 foot, 3.00 inches (0.381 meters) and 10° negative twist. The main rotor hub incorporated pre-coning. At 100% NR, the main rotor turned 324 r.p.m. The two blade tail rotor assembly had a diameter of 8 feet, 6.00 inches (2.591 meters). It was mounted on the left side of the pylon in a pusher configuration and turned counter-clockwise as seen from the helicopter's left. (The advancing blade is above the axis of rotation.)
The first prototype Bell XH-40, 55-4459, hovers in ground effect. (U.S. Army)
The prototype XH-40 was powered by a Lycoming LTC1B-1 (XT53-L-1) free-turbine (turboshaft). The engine uses a 5-stage axial-flow, 1-stage centrifugal-flow compressor with a single-stage gas producer turbine and single-stage power turbine. A reverse-flow combustion section with 12 burners allows a significant reduction in the the engine's total length. The XT53L-1 had a Maximum Continuous Power rating of 770 shaft horsepower, and Military Power rating of 825 shaft horsepower. It could produce 860 shaft horsepower at 21,510 r.p.m. At Military Power, the XT53-L-1 produced 102 pounds of jet thrust (0.454 kilonewtons). The power turbine drives the output shaft through a 3.22:1 gear reduction. The T53-L-1 is 3 feet, 11.8 inches (1.214 meters) long and 1 foot, 11.25 inches (0.591 meters) in diameter, and weighs 460 pounds (209 kilograms).

The XH-40 had a maximum speed of 133 knots (153 miles per hour/246 kilometers per hour) at 2,400 feet (732 meters), and 125 knots (144 miles per hour/232 kilometers per hour) at 5,000 feet (1,524 meters). The in-ground-effect hover ceiling (HIGE) was 17,300 feet (5,273 meters) and the service ceiling was 21,600 feet (6,584 meters). The helicopter's fuel capacity was 165 gallons (625 liters), giving it a maximum range of 212 miles (341 kilometers).

Three XH-40 prototypes were built, followed by six YH-40 service test aircraft. The designation of the XH-40 was soon changed to XHU-1.
This helicopter was the prototype of what would be known world-wide as the "Huey." The helicopter was designated by the U.S. Army as HU-1, but a service-wide reorganization of aircraft designations resulted in that being changed to UH-1. Produced for both civil and military customers, it evolved to the Model 205 (UH-1D—UH-1H), the twin-engine Model 212 (UH-1N), the heavy-lift Model 214, and is still in production 62 years later as the twin-engine, four-bladed, glass-cockpit Model 412EPI and the UH-1Y.

Sources differ as to the date of the first flight, with some saying 20 October, and at least one saying 26 October, but most cite 22 October 1956. This individual aircraft is at the U.S. Army Aviation Museum, Fort Rucker, Alabama. The museum's director, Robert S. Maxham, informed TDiA that, "The earliest and only historical record cards that we have on 4459 are dated 2 MAY 1958, and at that time the aircraft had 225.8 hours on it." The Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum, a generally reliable source, states the first flight was 22 October 1956.
Many sources also state the the XH-40 first flew on the same day on which Lawrence D. Bell died, which was 20 October.
The earliest contemporary news report yet discovered by TDiA, states,
On October 20, after several hours of ground running, the new Bell XH-40 helicopter was flown for the first time.

UNITING TO SAVE UMC
1199ers lead the fight to save vital Washington, D.C., medical center.
Workers and community members in Washington, D.C., are fighting to change the narrative at one local hospital. United Medical Center (UMC), a quasi-public facility which has for generations served the residents of the District's Southeast and Wards 7 and 8, is slated for a dramatic downsizing which activists say is dangerous for Southeast residents and unfair to workers.
"This hospital is the only one on the east side of the [Anacostia] river. We have nursing homes and clinics but no hospitals that can do what we do," says Tony Powell, a Unit Secretary at UMC for 43 years.
"Right now, we're being run [in part] by George Washington University Hospital, which is all the way up in Foggy Bottom. If they close this hospital and people wind up having to go all the way there in an emergency, they could die."
Over the years, the hospital has been plagued by accusations of mismanagement, financial turmoil and concerns about patient safety.
Long a thorn in the side of D.C. officials, the District is working to get the hospital—and the challenges that come with running one—off its books. "Every time they bring in a new consultant they're from somewhere else, like Florida or somewhere," says Mammo Tech Tracey Williams. "They come in with ideas that don't necessarily work here.
They don't know the culture or what it's like here."
UMC has been rescued from the brink of closure numerous times by determined workers, an involved union, active local residents, and political will. But over the last two years UMC has been battered by a particularly vicious storm of challenges, including service reductions, a secretive board determined to reduce the hospital's size, questionable actions by the Washington, D.C., City Council and a takeover attempt by union busting, Universal Health Services, a Pennsylvania-based concern that runs scores of hospitals and clinics across the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
"We keep hearing that Universal is going to take us over, but that our jobs aren't guaranteed," says Jesse Adams, a UMC floor tech for 17 years.
"They keep saying we will get first preference for any new jobs. People are worried about losing seniority.
"They want to build condos and maybe stores. Real high-end stuff that changes the dynamic of the community,"
–Tony Powell, Unit Secretary at United
What about the people who have been working for UMC for 20 years?" And Universal Health Services has shown workers they have good reason to be concerned; the company's holdings include George Washington University Hospital (GWUH) in the District's Foggy Bottom neighborhood, where 1199ers are currently in a protracted contract struggle with the company for refusing to recognize the collective bargaining agreement.
Powell notes that Universal Health is another in a long succession of managers hungrily eyeing UMC.
"They have been trying to get their hands on our hospital for a long time. They want to build condos and maybe stores. Real high-end stuff that changes the dynamic of the community," he says.
But in spite of union-busting management and unreliable elected officials, Powell says 1199ers aren't giving up on UMC.
"I'm concerned about my community," he says. "The people of Southeast need someone to advocate for them."

Balch Springs, Texas, Cop James Young Caught Tasing Handcuffed Black Man Was Field Training Officer for Jordan Edwards' Killer
Kirsten West Savali
Sgt. James Young—the Balch Springs, Texas, police officer responsible for training Roy Oliver, the officer who killed 15-year-old Jordan Edward—has been identified as the officer in newly released dashcam footage tasing Marco Stephenson, a black man handcuffed with his hands behind his back.
Attorney Lee Merritt, legal counsel for Jordan's family, confirmed to The Root that Young was Oliver's field training officer. Merritt acquired this disturbing, but not surprising, information from a former BSPD officer who asked to remain anonymous.
"Sgt. James Young destroys the bad apple myth. As the field training officer for Roy Oliver, Young passed on a culture of brutality by example," Merritt said. "It's Training Day in living color.
"The tasing incident wasn't Young's first demerit," Merritt continued. "Like Oliver, he violated departmental policy and shot rounds into a moving vehicle of a shoplifting suspect. Should we be surprised when inferior officers mimic the behaviors of their supervisors?"
Balch Springs police: Officer shoots man who drove toward him
As previously reported on The Root, KDFW-TV obtained the leaked bodycam footage of Young assaulting Stephenson, which is from April 28, 2016. Stephenson was carrying a BB gun, which Young called threatening. As Stephenson tried to explain that he was an adult with the right to carry a BB gun, Young tased him multiple times for no reason at all.
Leaked Police Bodycam Footage Shows Balch Springs, Texas, Officer Tasing Handcuffed Black Man
What's done in the dark will usually come to light, as the Balch Springs, Texas, Police Department…
As Stephenson screamed in shock and pain, Young could be heard saying, "Don't pull away, don't pull away ... I ain't playin' with you today."
Watch the video below.
Trigger warning: police brutality, state violence, white supremacist violence.
Earlier, Balch Springs Police Chief Jonathan Haber would not name Young, identifying him only as a supervisor.
Haber said that the people who turned in the video were justified in doing so: "At the end of the day, they did the right thing. They brought it to our attention."
Still, Haber also did his best to criminalize Stephenson in a transparent attempt to shift the blame away from his officers. He voiced more concern with the timing of the leak than Young's violent actions.
Haber is the same man who was forced to retract his initial statement that the car in which Jordan was traveling with his brothers on April 29 was "backing down the street toward officers in an aggressive manner."
Haber initially claimed that this prompted Oliver to open fire with a rifle, fatally shooting Jordan in the head.
Haber later claimed that he "misspoke"—the police term for "lie."
Still, with the revelation that Young trained Oliver, the culture of white supremacist violence within the Balch Springs Police Department is evident.
Again, the system is not broken; it is working exactly as intended. But it needs to be smashed and destroyed.

Minho Campus Party (MCP) foi uma LAN party, realizada em Portugal na província do Minho, sendo a maior e a primeira destas dimensões realizada neste país.

Tenta abranger todas as áreas da informática, sejam jogos, multimédia, Linux, segurança, mobilidade e telecomunicações entre outras, maioria dos participantes são da área de jogos, embora maioria não participe tanto para jogar mas sim para leeching.

História

As lan party's têm a sua origem no norte da Europa, onde são frequentes, e a sua tradição remonta há mais de 10 anos atrás. Podemos classificar as party's em dois grandes tipos: as Demo Party e as LAN Party. O que as distingue é a existência ou não de rede.

Este evento é uma manifestação evidente do novos caminhos da cultura juvenil neste milénio: jovens unidos pelo seu interesse pelos computadores, provenientes de qualquer lado do mundo, partilhando uma mesma paixão e um mesmo futuro, desenvolvendo um convívio salutar e ao mesmo tempo fortalecendo a sua preparação para os desafios que se lhes deparam no século XXI.

Em Portugal, a AIMinho (http://www.aiminho.pt) foi a precursora nesta área. Com a colaboração de várias entidades, entre as quais a Universidade do Minho, realizou quatro edições da Minho Campus Party, sempre com grande sucesso e notoriedade. O grande objectivo foi afirmar o Minho como uma Região moderna e de grandes eventos tecnológicos.

Na primeira Minho Campus Party, em Braga, e na primeira LAN party que se realizou em Portugal, estiveram presentes mais de três centenas de jovens ascendendo na segunda edição em Guimarães a mais de 700 pessoas.

Uma homenagem
Embora organizada e suportada financeiramente pela AIMinho (http://www.aiminho.pt), a ideia de trazer para Portugal, e em especial para o Minho, um evento deste tipo deve-se ao Professor Altamiro Machado, então director do Departamento de Sistemas de Informação (DSI) da Escola de Engenharia da Universidade do Minho.

O Professor Altamiro Machado procurou para a ideia apoios e suporte institucional e desenvolveu os primeiros contactos com a equipa do evento espanhol. Foi ainda por iniciativa sua que um grupo de cerca de quarenta alunos do DSI se deslocou à Campus Party 2000 em Valência, com o objectivo de posteriormente ajudar a implementar a versão portuguesa do evento. Com Charles Pinto Director Tecnico da equipe Espanhola.

Altamiro Machado faleceu em finais de Março de 2001, sendo organizada no evento de 2001 uma sessão de homenagem ao professor, que teve a presença do reitor da Universidade do Minho e do Secretário de Estado da Economia, em representação do Ministro da Economia de Portugal.

Ainda hoje, as marcas Minho Campus Party e Portugal Campus Party são propriedade da AIMinho - Associação Empresarial.

Who's Making Amazon Prime Days Happen and What Do They Have to Do to Make You Happy?
Four Thoughts On Jadeveon Clowney Contract Deadline Day
Nine Great Dog Show Pictures, And What The Dogs Are Actually Thinking
Richard Connelly
Richard Connelly | July 25, 2011 | 3:01pm
The World Series of Dog Shows was held in Reliant Park over the weekend, and as always it provided a good, sometimes odd, look at dogs and the people who place them in competition. (See the full slideshow here.)
We got us a dog interpreter, who really just mostly reports that everyone wants more food, and he filled us in on what these dogs were thinking.
9. "The vest is not my idea" Has a voice like: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog "I don't mind whoring myself out for a buck, but do I have to wear an old Sammy Davis, Jr. nehru?"

Tesla autopilot saw a "ghost" in the cemetery
A Twitter user named Ovidiu Maciuc posted at first glance eerie video that was filmed from a Tesla car
The author of the video was in the graveyard in his Tesla Model 3 with the autopilot function activated when a schematic image of a person appeared on the screen. Moreover, the car's sensors recorded that a person was moving. The author of the video showed that there was actually no one near the car.
It has been suggested that the automatic piloting system mistook one or more tombstones with brightly wreaths for a person, but those who believe in ghosts have added another "proof" of their existence to the piggy bank.
The user who posted the video asked Elon Musk to comment on the situation, but there was no answer yet.
Tesla burst into the ranking of the best-selling cars of 2022 with two models
According to Electrek, citing data collected by Focus to Move, Tesla entered the top ten best-selling cars in the world with two models at once.
The Tesla Model Y came in fourth place with 759,000 cars, an 88% improvement on its last year result. Sales of the Tesla Model 3 grew by 4% year-on-year to 596,000 vehicles, placing it in seventh place.
Toyota remains the leader in global car deliveries, as we've already reported, with three models in the top five best-selling passenger cars in the world.
Top 7 best-selling cars in the world last year looks like this:
Toyota Corolla: 1.12 million (down 2% from 2021)
Toyota RAV4: 870,000 (down 14%)
Ford F-Series: 787,000 (down 9%)
Tesla Model Y: 759,000 (88% more)
Toyota Camry: 675,000 (down 3%)
Honda CR-V: 601,000 (down 18%)
Tesla Model 3: 596,000 (up 4%)
"Duster's little brother" will be a completely new model – a hybrid or an electric car
Edition L'Automobile, citing its own sources, writes that Dacia is going to release a completely new crossover.
The model should place itself between the 3.73m long Dacia Spring electric hatchback, whose second generation is expected in 2024, and the new Duster, which is about 4.4m long.
It is expected that the new crossover will receive a hybrid powertrain, like the 7-seater Jogger Hybrid. However, the manufacturer can make the power plant completely electric. In any case, Dacia will focus on the market and its budget segment.
Positioned between Spring and Duster, the compact crossover Dacia will have a format that is quite comparable to the Jeep Avenger (4.08 m). But at the same time, the novelty should be much more accessible to buyers.
According to preliminary data, the "little brother of Duster" will appear on the market only in 2026.
Toyota became the best in the supply of cars in 2022
The Japanese auto concern Toyota Motor reported on the results of its work last year, which confirmed that the company remains the world leader in the supply of cars.
At the end of 2022, Toyota and its subsidiaries (Daihatsu and Hino) sold 10,483,024 worldwide, which is only 0.1% less than a year earlier.
Volkswagen, the closest pursuer of the Japanese giant, previously reported that the concern sold 8,262,800 cars last year. At the same time, Toyota overtook the competitor in November, when more than 9.5 million cars were sold.
Earlier it became known that China in 2022 ranked third in global car deliveries after Japan and Germany, overtaking the United States and South Korea.

Q: How can I kill all shells in Unix at once? My Mac becomes slow over time. The reason is the huge amount of my shells, such as Bashes and Fishes. Each shell has different PID. Killing shells one by one is too cumbersome. How can I kill them at once?

A: Try 'killall bash' or 'killall -9 bash' if they resist that.

A: As per other answers, the usual command is killall.
Note though that on some versions of UNIX (e.g. DEC Unix) this command literally kills all processes.
Do make sure that you know which behaviour your UNIX has before using it!

A: I strongly doubt your initial diagnosis. In Unix, an inactive process does not take resources. It is not scheduled, its memory is swapped out, etc. If there is a problem of slowness, it probably has another cause. Running top is the first step.

A: The killall command can kill all processes with a given name:
killall bash

A: Know the filename of the executable? You can use "killall " on many Unix systems.
# killall <name>

A: I think that you cannot kill all your Shells at once. You have to use many killalls, separately to each Shell like Rjamestaylor says above:
killall bash
killall fish

And so on.

Feds Try and Track Tuna Contaminated With Hepatitis A
By Consider The Consumer on June 7, 2017
A vaccination can prevent hepatitis A in most cases
Consumer Affairs reports that consumers who have eaten frozen tuna recently may be at risk of contracting hepatitis A, although no illnesses have been reported so far.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that frozen tuna distributed by Hilo Fish Company and sourced from Sustainable Seafood Company of Vietnam and Santa Cruz Seafood, Inc., of the Philippines, may have been contaminated.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that those who have eaten any of the contaminated tuna in a raw or undercooked form in the last two weeks should talk to their doctor and consider being vaccinated against the disease, which affects the liver and can be both severe and long-lasting.
Those who have already been vaccinated do not need to take any further action. If you're not sure whether you've been vaccinated, getting an additional dose of vaccine will not be harmful, CDC said.
Symptoms of hepatitis A in adults include fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, abnormal liver tests, dark urine, and pale stool. People with hepatitis A may not have symptoms until 15 to 50 days after consuming a contaminated food or drink.
CDC reports that while the hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for all children, vaccination rates are lower than for other recommended childhood vaccines. Unvaccinated children can become ill and not have symptoms.
The problem came to light on May 1, when the Hawaii Department of Health notified the FDA that a sample of frozen tuna cubes from Indonesia tested positive for the hepatitis A virus. On May 2, the FDA contacted the Tropic Fish Hawaii LLC, a subsidiary distributor of Hilo Fish Company, to get more information.
Tropic Fish Hawaii LLC initiated a recall because the affected product had been distributed to its customers in Oahu, Hawaii. The state of Hawaii embargoed the lot that tested positive and the FDA confirmed the sample was positive.
On May 16, Hilo Fish Company notified the FDA that it had submitted samples of additional shipments held in its cold storage facility in Hawaii to a private laboratory for testing and received additional positive results for the hepatitis A virus.
Imported tuna from that facility were sourced from Sustainable Seafood Company and Santa Cruz Seafood and were distributed to restaurants and other retail locations in California, New York, Oklahoma, and Texas. The New York State Department of Health and the FDA verified that product shipped to New York was not sold to the public. The FDA's investigation in connection with these firms is ongoing.
Products recalled
The first recall, which took place in Hawaii, consisted of imported raw frozen ahi tuna cubes sourced from PT Deho Canning Co. of Indonesia. None of that product is thought to remain on the market, meaning it has either been eaten or disposed of.
The current recall, which began May 18, consists of frozen yellowfin tuna steaks from Sustainable Seafood Company and yellowfin tuna cubes from Santa Cruz Seafood. This recall by Hilo Fish Company includes Tuna Steaks, 8 oz. individually vacuum packed bags, production date code: 627152, Lot number: 166623; Expiration date: 2018-10-01 and Frozen Yellowfin tuna cubes, random; Individually vacuum packed; 15 lb. case, date code: 705342, Lot number: 173448; Expiration dates: 2019-04-01).
A list of restaurants known to have served the contaminated tuna is available on the FDA website.

Soda Taxes Raise Prices in Philly Airport, Even In Untaxed Stores

Chicago Beverage Tax Is On — Don't Hold Your Breath Waiting For Health Benefits
By Ruth Kava — October 27, 2017

Now that smoking has become an aberration rather than the norm, locales that are missing their tobacco tax money seem to look for another source of revenue. Enter the tax on sugar-sweetened beverages or SSBs. Supposedly a tax will raise the price of these items and thus discourage consumption. And of course, some think this will help with the obesity problem.
So what's happened in the most recent municipality to implement an SSB tax — Philadelphia? That city's SSB tax went into effect January 1, 2017, and there is a bit of information about its effects.
First, as CNBC recently reported, the amount of revenue generated for the city by the tax is about 15 percent lower than had been predicted. And, as has also been predicted, sales of carbonated soft drinks fell by 55 percent in the city — but rose by about 38 percent just outside the city limits.
Further, some interesting data on the effect of the SSB tax on consumer prices was just reported in the journal JAMA. Dr. John Cawley from Cornell University and colleagues compared the changes in the prices of colas pre-and post-implementation of the SSB tax at vendors in the Philadelphia International Airport.
These investigators purchased 20-ounce containers of Coke and Pepsi from 31 stores in the airport. Since this airport actually straddles the city limits, 21 of these stores were inside the city and thus subject to the tax, while ten were in a different locale (Tinicum) which was not.
On average, in December 2016 before the tax was implemented, the mean price per ounce of cola was 12.37 cents on the untaxed side and 12.53 cents per ounce in the taxed side. By February 2017, that price had increased to 12.93 on the untaxed side and 13.92 on the taxed side. Thus, the price had risen significantly more on the taxed side.
The investigators calculated that overall, 55.3 percent of the tax was passed along to consumers. In the taxed stores, however, 93 percent of the tax was passed to consumers by February.
One might query why the stores in the untaxed part of the airport also raised prices? Probably because they could, and it would simply add to their profits.
The extent to which these data reflect what will happen in the greater Philly area remains to be seen. This study reflects only the effects of the tax on two brands of SSBs, and in a situation where at least some of the consumers had little choice about where they bought their drinks.
But the real question, of course, is whether, even if consumers do opt to decrease their purchase of SSBs in the face of this tax, will that mean lower calorie consumption overall, and thus a lessening of the prevalence of obesity? Only time will tell.

This important addition to the mobility network in our region will help residents and employees travel safer and more efficiently. We applaud Sterling Ranch for leading the effort and partnering with Douglas County to build the Waterton Extension for everyone's benefit and for being the catalyst in solving so many of the regional issues such as water and transportation that have existed in the Chatfield Valley for many years," said Amy Sherman, CEO of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation.


Okay, who's the smartass? And how did you do that?
It made me laugh anyway, whoever you are.
In Mozilla or Firebird, enter in your address bar 'about:config'. Then right click and select 'New > String'. Then enter in the feild 'general.useragent.override' click 'OK' and then enter your new UA string.
For example my Mozilla defualt (which is at the top of the page of the about: page)) is 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030310 Mozilla 1.3' which you could change to 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030310 mezzoblue'.
You can change other elements too under the subtitle 'User Agent:'.
ahhhh. That clears up one mystery. Thanks guys.
A lot of these apparent old browsers are nothing of the sort, but robots and spiders pretending to be something they're not.
I've seen the craziest browser tags in MacEdition's logs. My favorite was an iCab user who had edited the user agent string to read "foofly-tailed red panda". Obviously a person of impeccable taste and discernment.
The other mystery is why is anyone using Netscape 3? I mean, really?
It's funny how the very, very bottom end is cluttered with oddities like that. Netscape 1.x? Who in the…? It makes me wonder if perhaps there are some developers out there just sitting and waiting for sites like the Garden so that they can run them through the most obsolete browser possible.
Funny thing is, the Garden works great in Netscapes 2 through 4, Lynx, and so forth. Sure, some of the older browsers don't get the design - but the page loads and they get a well marked-up document regardless.
I keep looking at some stats for some sites that the company I work for hosts, and I keep seeing damn NN4.7 show up at somewhere around 1-3%. Then I started think…"Jason, how much of the surfing would you imagine are web designers/developers/testers/etc./etc.? I would guess…mabye 1-3%?? Makes you wonder if all those people out there still coding for NN4.x is doing so just for the benefit of dumb@$$ developers screwing with people's stats!!
I've had to use Netscape 4.77 until very recently, as Citibank online in Spain would not allow me to connect using Mozilla, and I refuse to fiddle with my user agent, and I don't run windows here.
Now I no longer need it: I just switched banks. This is an example of reasons why you can still be seeing Netscape 4.77: crapy browser detection logics in sites.

The Bordeaux Project presents Jamilla at the Can Can!
Friday December 6th at Midnight!
Join us for another Bordeaux Project Performance! Combing the sensuality and strength of pole with the fruitful medium of theater and burlesque!
Graduates of the Bordeaux Process class of Fall 2013 performed for a sold out audience at the historic CAN CAN cabaret in Seattle's pike place market. It was the perfect setting for these artist to debut their work on stage.


But one could argue that the improvement in interest rates is not a good indicator of the health of banks. Low, short-term interest rates, one could argue, are more a result of dramatic rates cuts and quantitative easing by the Fed and other key central banks across the industrialized world than they are the result of banks' improved condition. Yes, short-term rates are extremely low right now, but banks are still failing at an alarming rate. In fact, in the United States, there were 8 bank failures during April 2009, and 7 more have failed so far this month.
If you plan on opening another business credit card account to help fund your operations, don't look to Advanta for a new account. The company is not accepting new credit applications. If you're worried that your credit score will be adversely affected by the reduction of available credit, or you simply need another card to use for temporary financing, other major banks like PNC, Citi®, Bank of America and Chase are still offering business credit cards. Also, look out for snail-mail business credit cards offers. These so-called "pre-approved" offers usually have slightly better terms, conditions and rewards than their online counterparts; if you are going to apply for a new business card, you might as well go for the best possible deal.
An excellent alternative to getting another business card is to get a small business loan via a peer-to-peer lending site like Prosper.com, VirginMoneyUS.com or the popular Prosper.com.
Advanta's online account management system will continue to function after May 30. The company has no plans to remove or limit cardholder access to transaction data. Customer service will also be available after May 30.
Advanta accountholders will not be forced to pay their entire balance on, before or after May 30. Accountholders will still be able to pay down their account over time, according to the terms and conditions associated with each account.
"...Your Advanta Business Card account is funded by an independent trust which owns the balances you owe on your account and provides funding for new transactions. We expect the trust to stop funding activity on our accounts. The trust also restricts our flexibility to fund activity on your account. Unfortunately, as a result, effective May 30th all Advanta Business Credit Card accounts, including your account, will be closed.
This means that you will not be able to use your card or account for new transactions, including purchases, checks and balance transfers beginning on May 30th. We understand that you may have written checks on your account before May 30th and we will make every effort to honor those checks that are presented to us for payment by June 3rd. If you use your Advanta card to make automatic recurring bill payments, you will need to make alternative arrangements for those payments promptly.
It is important to understand that you are not required to pay your entire balance at this time. You may continue to pay down your account balance over time, as allowed under your Advanta Business Card Agreement.
You will not lose the rewards that you have earned. If you participate in a Cash Back program, you will receive a check for the amount of any accrued rewards more than $1.00 as long as you make the required minimum payments and your account remains in good standing. If you participate in a Business Rewards program, you will have at least 60 days to redeem your points as long as you make the required minimum payments and your account remains in good standing.
We deeply regret the impact this action will have on your business and very much wish it was not necessary..."
Advanta did not apply for any TARP funds, but, maybe it should have. The lion's share of the company's revenue comes from it's credit card business, and the company recently reported that delinquencies have doubled year-over-year. Right now, you can buy shares of Advanta (trading on the NASDAQ exchange with symbol ADVNB) at $0.79 a piece. A year ago, the stock was trading at $7.60 per share. Two years ago it was trading at $25.68 per share.
I liked my Advanta Platinum BusinessCard a lot when I was enjoying a 0% introductory APR, and continued using it sporadically when the intro period ended and my purchase rate jumped to 7.99%. I was using this card to fund a new business venture.
Last month, Advanta gave me an ultimatum: you can either continue to use your card and accept a 17.15% interest rate, or we will close your account and let you pay down your balance over time at 7.99%. I was given a month to make up my mind. 17.15% is a subprime rate, and I'm not a subprime borrower, so I chose to opt out of the new terms. I did not want to disrupt my cash position by paying the balance down to zero right away, so I chose instead to transfer the balance to a feeless balance transfer American Express consumer card.
Some months ago, both my CitiBusiness and Chase business credit cards were closed (you can read about it here), and now my Advanta card is gone. I'm now left with two business credit cards, and both are from Bank of America. I received a snail-mail offer for a Bank of America Business MasterCard® last week, and since the terms appear reasonable, I've decided to apply for this card.
I am hoping banks stop closing accounts and cutting credit lines soon, because, to be perfectly honest, I am really getting tired of this game.

While campaigning for the White House, Senator Barack Obama promised America that he would create 5 million "green jobs" over the next ten years. Following through, President Obama tagged $60 billion of stimulus cash for investment in clean energy and technologies. For some perspective: the Obama administration has committed more money to foster America's green economy than the gross domestic product of Luxembourg.
Complaints about all the planned green spending have been few.
It's clear that green movement is no passing fad, so many companies are trying to figure out how to capitalize on America's burgeoning love for and commitment to all things green. Discover Financial Services' (DFS) answer: a new version of the popular Discover More card that's biodegradable.
The Biodegradable Discover More Card is made from a special PVC plastic that's designed to safely breakdown when exposed to conditions similar to those found in landfills.
0% introductory APR on new purchases and balance transfers for 6 months.
After the introductory honeymoon is over, the new purchases APR is 10.99% - 18.99%, depending on the cardholder's credit quality. For transferred balances, the "goto" rate is 10.99%.
For each transferred balance, the fee is 3%, with no minimum and no maximum.

Scenes filmed in the garden at Foxhunt Manor at Foxhunt Green by Eugene Oakshott in 1928 [?], where friends and family play tennis, croquet and frisbee, and at a village fete, where bicycle and motorcycle races take place.
Harry, one of Eugene Oakshott's sons, plays swingball in front of the ruins in grounds of the family manor house in Waldren. Three generations of women sit on a bench in the garden. Two young children play in the garden. One rides a wooden tricycle.
Family and friends are seen in a series of head shots, all sitting in the same place in the garden by the tennis courts that face out to the South Downs. A group of family members, children and a nursemaid walk through the garden together. Some hold tennis rackets. A motorcar leaves the drive. A game of frisbee is played over a net. A woman plays croquet, the grand greenhouse behind.
Women play stoolball on the village green, where marquees at a fete are seen beyond. Family members sit on the other side of the tents, where rides and a race track lie.
Bicycle races begin; participants speed around the track for the first race, and try to make it round as slowly as possible without stepping down during the second. Men, wearing white shirts without jackets, their feet dug into the ground, pull one end of a rope during a tug of war contest. A toddler, Elizabeth, waves from a bed with a family member inside a sunny room, and walks in the garden with a parasol.
Harry, one of Eugene's sons, throws a ball for the family's Jack Russell, The dog leaps into the air when the young man throws the ball up, and climbs over his back according to his directions, trying to take the ball. A motorcar drives along a country road, arriving at Foxdene, a cottage on Scallows Lane, also at Foxhunt Green, where a woman greets the visitors at her white garden gate.


The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends individuals between the ages of 2-50 should reduce daily sodium intake to 2,300 mg or less. For those older than 51 or younger individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or other chronic diseases, the recommendation lowers to 1,500 mg per day. Since sodium is essential element necessary for the body to function properly, it is important to consume between 1,500-2,300 mg per day on average unless otherwise directed by your medical provider.
In our ongoing Food on the Run and Diet Friendly Dining series, one of the most common comments I find relates to why the sodium content is so high in the foods we suggest as being "healthier" options.
More and more restaurants are moving in the direction of fresh, whole foods for entrée and side options. Since these tend to be naturally low in sodium, they are a great way to increase nutrition while decreasing the sodium and fat content at the same time. Options such as fresh fruit and steamed or raw vegetables without added sodium, lean meats, poultry and fish as well as whole grains, dried beans, and lentils that do not have added salt are usually better choices with lower sodium content.
The Healthy Dining finder's team of Registered Dietitians believes that Sodium Savvy menu items are those that provide 750 mg or sodium or less for an entrée, and 250 mg of sodium or less for an appetizer, side dish, or dessert. Here are 10 of the best low sodium casual dining and fast food entrée options you might want to select next time you are eating away from home.
Check out this article on diet friendly restaurants for more info.
What low sodium healthy options have you found when eating away from home to share with others who are trying to keep their sodium intake down?
THANK YOU for a great, informative article about low sodium options!! It's DEFINITELY a challenge for those of us that have to watch our sodium... Eating out is particularly hard -- so appreciate your pointing out some possibilities!
Given that I'm supposed to stay around 1500 mg/day due to BP issues, even 500 mg is kind of high (as another poster said) but IF I eat out like that, then I just make sure the rest of my day is SUPER "low sodium" and can usually balance it!
I was SHOCKED to learn how high in sodium MOST of the grilled chicken is at most restaurants! Here I THOUGHT I had been eating "healthy" by choosing that option!! Joke was on ME!! It's amazing when you start reading nutritional info, isn't it?? I also find it interesting how bad a "rap" McDonald's gets -- yet as you will note above -- it's one of the options that's LOWEST in sodium!! And they DO have some other healthy options. Believe it or not, after researching things, it's one of my best options in alot of ways IF we're forced to drive thru (which thankfully we don't do very often) -- but like when we're traveling and don't have a choice... Even as "healthy" as Subway is touted -- I pretty much can't eat there EXCEPT for the Veggie Delite -- and even THEN you have to watch what kind of bread it's on and you can NOT eat any pickles or olives on that or you'd go over in sodium!
Anyway -- thanks for sharing this blog with us and for addressing the sodium issue that gets overlooked ALOT I think!!
These may be "lower" sodium options, but those numbers still seem pretty high to me. 500mg is 1/4 of the daily recommendation for healthy adults. For people like me, who restrict sodium because of hypertension, it' s closer to 1/3.

Thailand wants to ban these three pesticides. The US government says no
Carey Gillam
The Trump administration is putting profits before people by pressuring the country not to ban harmful chemicals

You know it's a dark day for America when foreign leaders have to lecture US officials about the importance of prioritizing public health over corporate profits.
Yet that is what is happening now, as the Trump administration pressures Thailand not to ban three pesticides that scientific research has shown to be particularly dangerous to children and other vulnerable populations.
Thailand's leaders have said that as of 1 December, a ban will take effect on the use of the following farming chemicals: chlorpyrifos, an insecticide made popular by Dow Chemical that is known to damage babies' brains; Syngenta's paraquat, a herbicide scientists say causes the nervous system disease known as Parkinson's that has been banned in Europe since 2007; and Monsanto's glyphosate herbicide, which is linked to cancer and other health problems.
Dow, Syngenta and Monsanto have each merged their way to become bigger corporate behemoths in recent years, wielding their enhanced power in Washington to keep these and other money-making pesticides on the market. For example, before merging with DuPont earlier this year and spinning off the agrochemical business that made chlorpyrifos, Dow successfully defended continued use of chlorpyrifos despite scientific concerns. The agrochemical companies are not having as much luck keeping foreign leaders in line, however, amid growing global awareness of the risks many pesticides spell for human health.
Thailand joins dozens of countries that have already banned or are planning bans on paraquat, chlorpyrifos and/or glyphosate. Thailand's national hazardous substances committee voted last month to ban all three due to the dangers established by scientific evidence.
Thailand's leaders were motivated in part by research showing that use of these chemicals in agriculture not only puts farm workers at risk, but also endangers consumers because the bug and weed killers' residues persist in fruits, vegetables, grains and other foods.
In the United States, pesticide residues are so common in domestic food supplies that a Food and Drug Administration report issued in September found more than 84% of domestic fruits, 53% of vegetables, and 42% of grains sold to consumers carried pesticide residues.
US regulators parrot industry talking points as they insist that dietary exposures to pesticides are nothing to worry about and say any risks to farm workers can be mitigated with proper training, protective clothing and other measures.
It's certainly not surprising that the Trump administration is working to protect glyphosate and other pesticides that bring profits to big corporations
According to Thai news reports, US officials have also been warning that the ban will interfere with lucrative trade. The US is especially upset about a glyphosate ban, arguing that it could limit hundreds of millions of dollars in Thai imports of US grains, which are often laced with glyphosate residues.
Outraged Thai officials say they have been forced to "clearly explain" to US officials that Thailand's priority is the health of Thai consumers. "Our job is to take care of the people's health," the public health minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, told the press.
If only US leaders had such moral clarity.
It may be disgraceful, but it's certainly not surprising that the Trump administration is working to protect glyphosate and other pesticides that bring profits to big corporations. The agrochemical industry players are devoted donors to the political machinery that runs Washington and they expect a return on their dollars.
Chlorpyrifos was scheduled to be banned two years ago from US agricultural use but when Trump came into office the EPA decided to delay any action until at least 2022. The agency is currently updating its risk assessment of paraquat, seeking public comments through 16 December; but it appears poised to allow continued use, albeit with restrictions. And earlier this year the EPA affirmed that it continues to find no health risk associated with glyphosate.
One example of the governmental fealty was laid out in an internal Monsanto consultant's report made public through litigation against the company. The report quotes a White House policy adviser as saying: "We have Monsanto's back on pesticides regulation. We are prepared to go toe-to-toe on any disputes they may have."
It is true that every day seems to offer a new opportunity for outrage with the Trump administration. Whether it is feckless foreign policy moves, illicit self-dealing or controversial corporate alliances, there is no shortage of scandal to alarm and divide Americans. It is often easiest to simply ignore the headlines and convince ourselves the partisan battles don't actually affect us.
But when it comes to the food we eat and feed our families, we only harm ourselves when we ignore policies that literally promote the poisoning of our children for profit. We can't afford to look away from this.

This article was amended on 11 November 2019. Some text was updated to make clear that Dow no longer produces chlorpyrifos


I'm building a sign-up form filled with multiple input fields. To increase the rate in which the form is filled out I decided to dynamically set the tabindex at the first input field. Naturally after tabbing through the collection of input fields it defaults to the beginning of the DOM and continue down and around the form.
My question I guess you can say is split into two parts. The first being, should the tab index reset after the fields are tabbed through or continue straight down the DOM from the form? The second as stated in the title, when is it usually appropriate to change a site's tabindex?
Personally, I think messing with tabindex is messy business. It's difficult (if not impossible) to use it in a way that is intuitive for users. If I (and I think most other people on the web) see a form element I need to interact with, I click on it and tab from there rather than trying to tab to it up front.
You have elements which may appear in a different order responsively without moving in the markup, causing the tab order to appear incorrect.
You need to take something out of the tab order.
If you want to accelerate the process of filling out forms, a noble goal, I would suggest focusing the first form element when the user hits the page. This allows them to get right into it and tab order will proceed as normal from there. It also has the bonus of being a clear visual cue.

Are users more likely to capitalize their names in name input fields?
When should a system partly fill in a form for a user?
