These routes are a good place to collect more Pokémon. Route #22 (shown below) is full of Rattata, along with a specimen or two that are rarely found in this area. Remember to weaken a Pokémon in battle before using a Poké Ball on it, or else it will be able to break free. The first time you come through Route #2, head into Viridian Forest to continue your journey.
It's time to show him who's best.
It's a good idea to take some time and train your Pokémon on Route #22. You will have the chance to catch a Mankey, but they are only in Yellow version. Be sure that you do if you're playing it. Otherwise, be sure to pick up whichever Nidoran is more common in the version you're playing, both if you're trying to complete your Pokédex. If you stumble upon a Spearow, it makes a nice addition to your collection, being a better Flying-type than Pidgey.
If you would like to earn extra EXP (and 280), you can challenge your rival here by heading west towards the pond along the top path. Before you do, make sure that you have a few strong Pokémon, and that they're healthy and ready to fight. You may wish to wait until after you've traveled through Viridian Forest to conduct this battle or you may want to skip it entirely.
If you beat your rival, you can head back to Pallet Town to get 5 Poké Balls for free from Professor Oak in his lab (but only if you have not purchased any Poké Balls yet, so it's really not worth the hassle of fighting your rival with only your starter Pokémon).
When you're done at Route #22, make your way back to Viridian City and exit to the north to reach Route #2. Much of this route is inaccessible to you at this point in the game, but that will change in time. For now, your only concern is reaching the entrance to Viridian Forest. Don't bother hunting for Caterpie or Weedle out here; they're plentiful in the forest.
Your rival has improved somewhat since Pallet Town. In Red and Blue, he's using a Pidgey in addition to his starter; in Yellow, a Spearow. You will also want to have some new Pokémon at your disposal. The strategy below is not essential, but it makes things much simpler.
The first order of business is acquiring a Spearow, since it's right here on Route 22. Anyone not using Charmander should probably acquire a Spearow. Training it to Level 7-8 will be sufficient. After that, go to Viridian Forest and capture a Pikachu. You'll want to do this no matter what starter you have, because Pikachu can counter your rival's new Pidgey (as well as two out of his three starters). Level Pikachu up to Level 9 for Thunder Wave.
Your rival always leads with Pidgey, so have Pikachu in the lead and knock it out with 2-3 Thundershocks (preferably two). If your rival chose Bulbasaur, switch to Spearow and use Peck until Bulbasaur faints; if he chose Squirtle, keep Pikachu in and use Thundershock repeatedly, sending in Spearow if Pikachu faints. Charmander has no true counter yet, so you'll have to rely on a little more strategy, namely Pikachu's Thunder Wave. Paralyze, then attack until one Pokémon faints. If Pikachu goes down first, Spearow can finish it with ease.
In Yellow version, your rival has Spearow and Eevee. Pikachu will destroy Spearow without any difficulty whatsoever, and Eevee is best handled by catching a Mankey on Route 22 and raising it to Level 9 for Low Kick. Pikachu's Thunder Wave, when Pikachu learns it at level 8, also helps against your rival's Pokémon.
Female Nidoran are everywhere in Blue, and males abound in Red, but both appear with equal frequency in Yellow. The sharper horned males have a slight edge, since they learn better offensive attacks in this and the next phase of their evolution, but both are solid all-around fighters early in the game. Yellow gives them both Double-Kick at level 12, useful in an upcoming battle with Rock-types in the near future. While both are Poison-types, they don't get a lot of Poison techniques: Poison Sting is about it. They make up for it by learning practically every good TM in their final forms. Both Nidoran can reach their final forms through the use of a Moon Stone, and they can both get to their final forms as early as Cerulean City, so if you want to try getting one, that would be a good idea. Male Nidoran are also the preferred Pokémon choice for Pokémon Yellow speedruns and can also be the Pokémon to run with in the Red version instead of Squirtle.
Spearow may not have a third stage of evolution like Pidgey do, but they're actually a bit stronger, and a bit rarer early on. Unlike Pidgey, Spearow begins with a Flying-type attack in Peck, and is destined to learn what is probably the best one: Drill Peck. Spearow has an immunity to Ground-type attacks, as well as dealing powerful STAB damage to Grass-, Bug-, and Fighting-type opponents. The increased damage from STAB helps a lot against Bug-type Pokémon as you make your way through Viridian Forest.
Only available this early in Yellow, you'll find Mankey's Low Kick to be very useful against Normal- and Rock-types. In Yellow, it learns Low Kick at an easy level 9 and its great against the first gym leader, Brock. It's first available on Route 5 in Red, but it isn't really worth it in that game: it can't learn Low Kick, so its only Fighting-type attack is the fixed damage Seismic Toss.

Sanal Kumar Sasidharan's next titled Vazhakku- Cinema express
Sanal Kumar Sasidharan's next titled Vazhakku
Tovino is co-producing it under the banner of Tovino Thomas Productions along with Parrot Mount Pictures
Published: 01st January 2021
Sanal Kumar Sasidharan has a title for his next film - Vazhakku (Quarrel). Tovino Thomas, Kani Kusruti, and Sudev Nair play the main characters. Tovino is co-producing it under the banner of Tovino Thomas Productions along with Parrot Mount Pictures.
Sharing the news, Sanal said that he believes the film has "amazed" him so far, and that it "will also amaze serious film lovers."
The S Durga filmmaker also shared a fascinating shooting experience from the set involving the three actors. "During the making of a film, we get numerous instances best described as 'divine intervention'. I try to hold on to them whenever I can. Today something like that happened," he said. "We were filming a sequence where Tovino is driving, and he is getting one phone call after another. I wanted to finish it in one shot, in the length I envisioned. Kani Kusruti's call was to come 30-40 seconds after Sudev Nair's call gets cut. It was a location where the network gets lost when the wind blows. The vehicle was in motion. Due to the connectivity issues, if the call gets delayed for a while, we can't use that shot. The expected happened. This call took some time to connect. But something unexpected also happened. Tovino amazed me by smartly taking advantage of those extra 10-15 seconds. It's nice to see things turn out the way we want them to, but sometimes things turn out stunningly when our calculations go wrong."
Vazhakku is Sanal Kumar's seventh film. His last release was Chola, starring Joju George and Nimisha Sajayan. Following that, he directed Kayattam, which is awaiting release. Headlined by Manju Warrier, Kayattam also marks her debut production venture.

Ok, xconsole is an old/ancient X11 application that is like a console that you can dump text to.
Normally /dev/xconsole is a named pipe that the xconsole application will read, and sysklogd will dump text to this named pipe.
This very basic but is the purpose of having such named pipes for tools like the system logging capabilities. I'm using it right now and it's really pretty good.
I think it beats having to switch terminals to see the output to another console.
then you should have immediate logging to the output of the xconsole. Happy logging...thanks by the way when I came across this old post it helped me to discover the need for the pipe when creating the xconsole in this case.
It mainly appears when I am working in the console and do not have X11 and KDE active.
Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this?
I always comment out some lines from syslog.conf, might be those.
It is almost the original configuration after installing syslogd. The only changes are according to LIsLinuxIsSogood his instructions.
If I understand it correctly the messages will be sent to /dev/xconsole anymore.


I was deeply saddened to learn of Gov. Mark White's passing. I have many fond memories, both personal and political, of our long friendship. His intelligence, wit, compassion and loyalty not only changed my life, but the face of Texas itself.
I first met White when he was secretary of state under Gov. Dolph Briscoe. I worked on campaigns in both college and law school and was actually working for the Democratic Party when he was elected attorney general in 1978. I can still remember when he called me in 1982 and asked me to manage his campaign in El Paso County, which was an honor because of how critical El Paso would be for carrying the November election against Bill Clements, a powerful and wealthy incumbent. White was an underdog whose strongest supporters were teachers, and I worked hard with local educators to maximize the El Paso vote.
The campaign eventually took an interesting turn when Clements was publically asked whether he would appoint a woman to the Public Utility Commission. Clements (who had a history of appointing affluent businessmen to the state's most important positions) said something to the effect of, "there is not a housewife competent enough to serve on the PUC." White quickly replied that women were the ones who wrote most of the checks to the utility companies and promised he would appoint a woman to the PUC as one of his first acts in office.
As it turned out, I knew a woman named Peggy Rosson who was heading our local Public Utility Regulation Board, and I passed that on to White. He immediately came out to El Paso, where I connected the two and drove them both to a political rally. The press picked up on that meeting.
I myself was fortunate to be appointed to serve on what would later become the Texas Ethics Commission, and White eventually appointed me judge of the 34th District Court, where I've been honored to serve for the last three decades — probably as his last appointee still in elected office. In fact, White appointed a record number of El Pasoans to boards and commissions, and they were significant appointments. He never forgot what El Paso did for him, and he repaid our community generously.
His greatest achievements as governor — ultimately, his political undoing — were signature education measures that brought important reforms to Texas public schools. Those efforts were long overdue because of the political risks of addressing them. They included a large raise in teacher pay (requiring a tax increase) as well as the controversial "no pass, no play" rule for extracurricular activities. There was also a new requirement that teachers take a test for certification as competent professionals, and while only a handful of teachers across the state failed the exam, many were angry and did not support White again. He told legislators that if they took political heat over education and taxes, they should blame him. They did, and it cost him his job when he was defeated in 1986.
Nonetheless, White identified a critical problem, developed a solution and got it passed into law despite the difficulty and the risk. He was willing to put his political career on the line because he believed it was what Texas needed. He devoted his long public career to improving Texas for all Texans. The courage he showed is sorely needed in American politics today.
We could also use the kind of character he had, including a genuine desire to meet everybody and hear their concerns. I recall one day of campaigning that included a high-dollar fundraiser for him at a beautiful home near the Coronado Country Club, followed by a full day of campaign activities. When we finished, he wanted to stop off at his favorite Mexican restaurant in El Paso, Forti's Mexican Elder on Chelsea. He took time to meet with the owners, but he also insisted on going back to the kitchen to speak with the cooks, the dishwashers, the busboys and the waiters. He shook their (sometimes wet or dirty) hands, thanked them genuinely, and gave them the same attention and respect as the wealthy donors he had met with earlier in the day.
This was the governor of the state of Texas, a man once mentioned as a possible vice-presidential candidate, and he consistently showed those around him what it really meant to be a public servant. His wife and children, who I came to know, are an outstanding legacy for him and everything he stood for, but I will still miss this humble yet great man. His kind is in too short a supply these days.

Q: Problem reprojecting KML in EPSG:2039 Map - OpenLayers 2.12 + proj4js I have KML files (EPSG:4326) and a background map I made using EPSG:2039 projection (mandatory).
When I try reprojecting the KMLs to show in EPSG:2039 I don't succeed and still they don't appear on the map. Only when manually projecting everything to EPSG:4326 its working (But I need to be in EPSG:2039 for the client)
 init: function () {

    var transperantLayers = ["kml1", "kml2", "kml3"];

    var P2039 = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:2039");
    var P4326 = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326");

    var activeProjection = P2039;

    OpenLayers.IMAGE_RELOAD_ATTEMPTS = 3;

    var options = {
        maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-20037508, -20037508, 20037508, 20037508.34),
        projection: activeProjection,
        displayProjection: P4326
    };

    var map = new OpenLayers.Map("map", options);

    var base = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapInfoRESTHandler("Background", "MapTileServer",
                            { mapname: "Background", output: 'image/png', tileType: 'MBR', transparent: false },
                            { isBaseLayer: true, buffer: 1, transitionEffect: 'resize' });

    map.addLayer(base);

    for (var i = 0; i < transperantLayers.length; i++) {
        var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector(transperantLayers[i], {
            projection: map.projection,
            strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
            protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
                url: "KMLs/" + transperantLayers[i] + ".KML",
                format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
                    extractStyles: true,
                    extractAttributes: true
                })
            })
        });
        layer.setOpacity(0.5);
        map.addLayer(layer);
    }

    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoomBar());
    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.ScaleLine());
    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition());

    map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(220000, 632000), 9);

}

I've also tried instead of :
projection: map.projection

doing :
projection: map.displayProjection

but still no luck... not seeing the KMLs.
Help will be appreciated.

A: Problem solved:
I just noticed there wasnt epsg2039.js file in the def directory.
I've added it and now it works.

The storyboard is usually a sequence of images in linear order to show the progression of a story. For basic storytelling, including narration, animation, and film, a straightforward template is all that is needed. Add in title and description boxes and cells as needed for the desired length and complexity.
Here at Storyboard That, we have found that our storyboard software is great for all sorts of activities in the classroom! A great place to start with students is with a ready-made template. Templates can be as basic or as detailed as you want. For a vocabulary assignment, you might just need a blank Frayer Model, but templates can also be partially completed storyboards. There are plenty of storyboard layouts to pick from to tailor to your lesson! Sometimes it is even helpful to put instructions directly into a storyboard that all students start with!
Students can easily use your templates to start an assignment. You save time by setting up the storyboard as you want it, with or without a completed example, and then allow students to hit the ground running! They will not have the ability to edit your original template, just make a copy of it into their own account to edit and complete.
Students cannot change your template, so there will be no issues with a student saving over the template. You can easily access your templates from your dashboard. Click "My Storyboards" and use the navigation pane on the left side of the Teacher Dashboard.
Save your storyboard. While not necessary, it may be worthwhile to name the storyboard with something generic, such as "Vocabulary Frayer Model" or "Character Map". You can also add "Template" to the title if you wish.
You can make your own templates from a blank storyboard, but we also have a few templates already! Storyboard That has several storyboard templates for different activities. Click "Create a Copy". Make any changes you want, such as changing the background color or adding cells, click "Save", and click "Convert Storyboard to Template".
Use a storyboard template in the classroom for student activities, either printed out as worksheets or as an online activity. Add a template to an Assignment on Storyboard That for students to use as a starting point through the Teacher Dashboard. Having a template ready to go for student activities helps save time on the student creation end and helps with modifications for different learners. Any storyboard can be printed out to be used as a blackline template for copying purposes. Check out some of the print options - you may be surprised by all of the options we offer!

When it comes to catching bait in the Northwest Region, there's just so many options. You want to tailor your options based on the fish you're planning to target. For instance, most of the predatory gamefish will eat what we call whitebait (scaled sardines) or pilchards, or other members of the herring family like Spanish sardines or Atlantic Threadfins. Herring are some of the most common baitfish around, and can be fairly simple to catch using a good cast net and a little bit of chum.
In the lower part of the region, the bridges hold a lot of bait. There's the Potter's Pier, the Skyway Bridge and all the bridges in between the Gandy Bridge. The baitfish gather around the lights of these bridges at night, and can be caught using a cast net until the sun comes up and they scatter out towards the grass. At the Skyway Pier, you can even catch the bait after the sun comes up.
In the big waters like Tampa Bay and also out on the beaches, we'll get big rafts of Threadfins and Sardines. They'll also congregate around some of the marker buoys. If you're not good with a cast net, or if it's really deep, you can slide up with you boat and toss a Sabiki rig at them and catch bait using hook and line. Sabiki rigs are these six hook rigs with fish skin on them that look like little minnows. You put a two or three ounce weight on the bottom and that keeps the baits from tangling in the rig when they get hooked. You toss it into the school and jig it slowly up and down. When you hook a bait, you just reel it back slowly and more baits will follow and eat the hooks and get hooked. Sometimes you'll bring the rig in and there will be a bait on every hook.
Once the sun comes up, the baitfish scatter to the flats, and you have to use chum to draw them in close to the boat. The chum we use is a mixture of canned Jack Mackerel and Purina 38% Tropical Fish Food. Mix it all together, and then anchor up on the flats in an area with good current and grass and start tossing little bits over the side until you get a nice slick behind the boat. As the baitfish show up, you'll see them dimpling the surface behind the boat. Toss a golf ball size ball of chum, load the net and throw. Then do it again. After several throws, you'll have enough bait to fish an entire day.
Pinfish are another great bait that a lot of inshore and offshore species will eat. You can catch them using a pinfish trap and squid for bait, or on hook and line. A lot of time they chum in when you're catching whitebait, and you'll catch 20 or 30 pinfish as incidental catches when catching the herrings.
For cast nets, I like to throw a 12 foot 3/8-inch stretch that is super heavy. It'll have 22 to 25 pounds of weight so it sinks quickly before the baitfish can swim out from underneath it. If the bait is large threadfins, you can throw a 5/8 inch stretch net. On the flats, I throw a 10 to 12 foot 1/4 to 3/8 inch stretch net on the flats, and it doesn't have to be very heavy, since the water isn't very deep.
A great bait for tarpon, cobia, permit and mutton snapper are live crabs. You can catch those from five days before until four days after the new and full moons. We catch them around the passes and bridges on the outgoing tide in the afternoon and evenings. You can just motor along with your boat with a long-handled small-mesh net and dip them off the surface. Then you can declaw them if you want.
Once you get bait, you want to make sure you don't overcrowd the live well capacity. Most live well systems introduce a limited amount of oxygen and can only hold so many baits. You'll know if you've overcrowded it if you look in the live well and all the baits are on the surface gasping for air. If that happens, you need to toss some baits over, or put them in another well, because if you don't all the oxygen will get depleted and all the baits will die.
Once you've caught bait, then you can decide on where you want to fish and what to target. A lot of times, the baits we catch determine where we fish. From there, it's up to the fish to make it an exciting day on the water.

The Fair History: August 23
On this date as long ago as in 1957 – on August 23 six decades ago, the The First Postwar Technical Fair was opened in Belgrade. The focus on Postwar is significant for the statistics staff and those following Anniversaries, since the actually first edition of this outstanding event, as it will be shown having global dimensions, happened two decades earlier – in the prewar 1937.
This is the opportunity to remind of August 23, 1957, when about 9.30 a. m., in the presence of high ranking Governmental officials, Franc Leskošek, Member of the Federal Executive Council, cut the ribbon festively in front of the Hall 3. And there was definitely something to see, since all halls were overfull. The observers estimated at least 'a day and night' were necessary to review all exhibits at least at first sight. Unlike, as it seemed, the optimistic expectation anyway the event would be visited by about 500 thousand people, on the Fair closing date, at noon, a million and 115 thousand visitors were 'counted'.
On the Hall 1 Gallery was the Businessmen Club, having the task of connecting and contact making. According to the first reports, the jobs with the value of more than 118 billion Dinars were concluded just through them and the stands. The goods import with the value of 7.5 million US Dollars was contracted, as well as the export to the amount of 10.5 million US Dollars.
What was omitted, although planned, on August 23, 1957 – to start broadcasting the television program on the Technical Fair opening date, was corrected a year later. On the first postwar Anniversary of the Fair of Technique and Technical Achievements, i.e. Belgrade Fair itself, as well as the 20th Anniversary of the first Philips TV broadcasting from the studio situated at the Fair – TV Belgrade broadcasted its first show.
It was Saturday, August 23, 1958 and the experimental program of TV Belgrade was started from the still incomplete studio. It was announced by Olivera Živković, Radio Belgrade speaker. Olga Nađ informed the spectators of the shows which would be on the program and then announced the the telecast of the opening of the International Fair of Technique and Technical Achievements. The first telecast was directed by Miroslav Dedić.
Thus, Belgrade Fair was twice significant also in the creation of the TV Belgrade, having at present also its Anniversary – in addition to the first studio, located within the Fair ground, a significant part of the program broadcasted on the first day was devoted to the 2nd Fair of Technique and Technical Achievements opening and holding.

New changes to transportation technology may affect the safety of driver jobs.
The Department of Transportation has launched the Solving for Safety: Visualization Challenge, a national multistage competition for local government, data scientists, technologists, academia and safety experts to analyze risk on the surface transportation system through advanced data analytics.
"Under Secretary Chao's leadership, we have continued to make significant progress in transportation safety. Today's announcement asks participants to apply advanced analytics and technological innovations to dramatically improve safety on our roads," said Under Secretary for Policy Derek Kan.
"Recent innovations in data analytics and visualization tools give us the potential to understand risk at the system level, and to develop tools and discover insights that will lead to new, life-saving strategies that address injuries and fatalities on our roadways,' continued Kan.
Solving for Safety focuses on encouraging technology firms and safety stakeholders to create data visualizations that illuminate important insights about solving the highway safety problem.
To do more to ensure our roads are as safe as possible for the millions of Americans who travel each day, DOT is opening its different datasets- many of which are siloed, analyzed separately, and made available on just an annual basis- and asking data experts to develop tools that can be used to reduce risk.
Factors like the weather, road conditions, and time of day all play a role in risk- and targeted, sophisticated analysis will create, as Kan said, 'clear, compelling data visualizations', which can be used to mitigate crash risks.
Kan encouraged attendees at the Department's Safety Data Forum to join the challenge and develop an analytical visualization tool that helps Solve for Safety.
The Challenge also invites companies and organizations to participate as Innovation Agents, a resource for Solvers. Innovation Agents are critical to the success of the Challenge by providing real world knowledge, guidance, insight, issues, data and recognition of the issue to non-transportation safety populations. A judging panel of cross-functional technical experts and senior level staff will select finalists and award prizes. Over the next six months, solvers will solve for safety and compete for part of the $350,000 prize purse.
A new grant for the city of Atlanta will affect the flow of those with driver jobs.
A proposed $184,124,447 Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant will go towards building additional, dedicated express lanes on State Route (SR) 400, a major commuter route for Atlanta residents.
"The new express lanes on SR 400 will enhance safety and decrease congestion and travel times for everyone," said Secretary Chao.
"I'm grateful for the leadership of Secretary Chao, GDOT Commissioner Russell McMurry, and all those who had a hand in bringing us to this point. This demonstrates the strong partnerships we have at each level of government," added Congressman Rob Woodall (GA-07).
"The SR 400 Express Lanes project will play a critical role in helping improve mobility in a corridor that is vital to connecting people, jobs, and freight. We are grateful to the Department of Transportation for investing in Georgia's transportation network," GDOT Commissioner Russell McMurry said.
The SR 400 express lanes project is included in GDOT's Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP), which addresses congestion issues. GDOT projects that these lanes will reduce delay by over 19,000 hours per day along the SR 400 corridor by 2030. The proposed INFRA grant would award $184,124,447 to construct approximately 17 miles of priced two-lane, bidirectional managed lanes along SR 400 from I-285 to McGinnis Ferry Road in Fulton County, and one managed lane in each direction from McGinnis Ferry Road north to McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County.
The project will connect with the SR 400 and I-285 Interchange Reconstruction project in Fulton and DeKalb Counties using approximately 8 miles of collector-distributor lanes currently under construction. There are 9 proposed access points for the express lanes, including three full interchanges, and six locations with slip lanes. The project area includes 22 bridges, approximately half of which will be replaced or widened.
INFRA grants support the Administration's commitment to fixing our nation's crumbling infrastructure by creating opportunities for all levels of government and the private sector to fund infrastructure, using innovative approaches to improve the necessary processes for building significant projects, and increasing accountability for the projects that are built.
A new program is may go a long ways towards improving driver jobs.
The Department of Transportation will launch a pilot program to permit 18-20 year olds who possess the U.S. Military equivalent of a commercial driver's license (CDL) to operate large trucks in interstate commerce.
"This program will allow our Veterans and Reservists, to translate their extensive training into good-paying jobs operating commercial vehicles safely across the country, while also addressing the nationwide driver shortage," said Secretary Chao.
As directed by Section 5404 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, the pilot program will grant a limited number of individuals between the ages of 18 and 20 to operate large trucks in interstate commerce – provided they possess the Military equivalent of a CDL and are sponsored by a participating trucking company.
"As our nation prepares to celebrate Independence Day, Secretary Chao and I were excited to highlight a program I helped champion to provide truck driver jobs to young veterans," said Senator Fischer.
"This innovative program offers a way for our younger Veterans and Reservists to transition to the civilian workforce. I personally thank Secretary Chao and officials with the DOT who continue to find ways to utilize the training and talent of the men and women who served in uniform for our country," said Congressman Bacon.
During the pilot program, which is slated to run for three years, the safety records of these drivers will be compared to the records of a control group of drivers.
Complete information on the pilot program and the related information collection is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2018; an advance copy is available on FMCSA's website at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/under-21-pilot-program-frn.
Before the pilot program can officially commence, FMCSA is required by Federal statute to allow a public comment period, followed by the Agency's published responses in the Federal Register.

The Opera House was sparkling with titillation as I sat down to await the beginning of Cosmic Shambles LIVE! This was a new type of show for me, encompassing an intriguing blend of comedy, music and science. The lights dim and my excitement mounts. A short movie begins playing and yet another theatrical medium is introduced; to my utter delight, we get treated to a comedy sketch with puppets!
The puppets were of podcast Infinite Monkey Cage alumnus Tim Minchin, Robin Ince and Dr. Brian Cox. It was funny and a great way to introduce the general concept of the show to the audience. The facial expression of Dr Brian Cox's puppet while looking at supernovas making me laugh so much I almost lost my beverage. The puppets then introduce our host for the evening and the real Robin Ince strides energetically onto the stage.
It is clear immediately that Ince is a master of MC-ing. He jokes about Wellington, making himself familiar to us through shared experiences of our beloved giant squid. I notice as he does this that he walks around a lot, as if his self-confessed curious nature needs to explore every inch of the stage. His bouncing nature infectious as he excitedly tells us of his pedestrian forays into understanding science. Having many friends of a scientific background, I empathise with him. We may not know exactly what the Scientific Method is, but we know there is one.
My understanding of Scientific Method becomes more educated as I watch the show,with my own enthusiasm for science increasing as each scientist takes part. I oohed over the predictions of bacterial infection deaths from Dr. Sioxsie Wiles. Professor Lucie Green made me exclaim and coo over how brilliant our sun is. Matt Parker stole my pun-loving heart by creatingwith a steak and cheese pie. All this just in the show's first half! All three were clear and concise in their speeches, providing information that was accessible to all of us. They were lively, passionate, and succeeded in making me even more interested in our universe without being overwhelmed with jargon.
The first half also saw me squeeing over the sight and deliciously-accented sound of Josie Long. Her performance consists of a wonderfully whimsical set that attempts to prove the existence of ghosts by the use of our very own Watties' Spaghetti in its can. The comedy continues with Billy T Award nominee Matt Stellingwerf. His set melded together homeopathy, serial killers and the struggles of being in the humanities science of criminology. The blend of science and comedy made the Opera House ring with laughter. It was at this time I also heard my favourite comment of the evening, which was a child behind me giggle and say, "I don't really get it, but he's very funny, isn't he?" And he is right. Stellingwerf does have an innate ability for the hilarious even if you don't understand every little intricacy of his words.
Our musical act for the first half was Nation, a self-described soul/pop/funk band based in Wellington. Their music was a great choice for the show; their catchy tunes were stuck in my head for the whole intermission. My first time watching Nation, I was blown away by the vocals of lead singer Miharo Gregory, the high notes he could reach bringing tingly goosebumps to my skin I will definitely be looking out for this band in the future.
Intermission came and I wandered into the foyer where interesting conversation exploded in tid-bits through the air like a sunspot giving off gaseous goodness. We were all buzzing from the combination of learning and a large dosage of dopamine from the laughing and music. I have not heard such a large concentration of the word 'fascinating' in all my life and the enthusiasm was infectious.
The second half was lead by Robin Ince hosting a Q&A session from questions asked by the audience during the break. The scientists answered questions ranging from serious and quantitative to the utterly ridiculous, and their enjoyment kept the momentum of the second half going strong.
Our scientists for this second half were: Professor Shaun Hendy, who made us chortle while we learned about how Australians are similar to rocks; Dr. Helen Czerski, who very vibrantly caused a wide-eyed awe in me with her explanation of the science of bubbles; and Dr. Michelle Dickinson, who taught us how to survive disaster by breaking things. Again, the science was inspiring, informative and mind-blowing. Did you know penguins trap bubbles in their feathers and release them to propel themselves more quickly to the surface? Neither did I until tonight. So cool.
Our second-half comedy act is another Billy T Award nominee, the Wellington-based James Nokise. Nokise used another humanitarian science, political science, as his baseline. I have been a fan of Nokise's work for a while now and yet again, he delivered his set with expert timing and a social awareness that makes you uncomfortably upfront of exactly what you are laughing at. In ways that could be described as Chappellian, he confronts me with the misuses of government spending and the mainland New Zealand dismissive attitude towards the cultures and needs of our Pacific Island dominions. Wrapping them so cleverly in rosettes of wit that the mirth is expelled out of me out of compulsion before I am able to think, "Wait, what did I just laugh at?" The amalgamation of hilarity and cause of thought perfectly matching of tone of the evening.
The final act comes in the form of an acoustic set from the legendary Jon Toogood of Shihad fame. His performance still as entrancing everytime I see him perform, Toogood chose some excellent songs to perform. Again the motif of entertainment and enlightenment coming together in the form Bob Dylan's Masters of War, Pacifier's Run and from Shihad's latest album FVEY a song titled, Think You're So Free.
Toogood gave us a fantastic ending to the show and I left the theatre feeling mellow but ready to discuss what I had been taught over a couple of wines. Cosmic Shambles LIVE! is a fun experiment in how much I can absorb in a two hour period, and how much Robin Ince can make me laugh without straining a muscle.

Q: Read Process Memory doesn't seem to give the right value I am trying to read memory from a process (gameboy advance emulator) in Python using ReadProcessMemory. There is a memory viewer and I am supposed to get 81 at 0xD273 (see picture). I am new to this, I tried to do everything correctly by adding reference in the ReadProcessMemory, but there might be some things that are wrong. I am pretty sure I have the right process id since it matches the one in the task manager.
When I run my code, I get random byte values that are different everytime. 15, 255, 11, 195, but I think I should be getting 81.
I need to use python 32-bit to run the script otherwise I get error 299 (ERROR_PARTIAL_COPY).
Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I don't specify the base address but I assumed it's handled by the processHandle.
Here is my code and an example of the output:
result: 1, err code: 0, bytesRead: 1
data: 0000000000000015h
21

import ctypes as c
from ctypes import wintypes as w
import psutil

# Must use py -3-32 vba_script.py

vba_process_id = [p.pid for p in psutil.process_iter() if "visualboyadvance" in p.name()][0]
pid = vba_process_id  # I assume you have this from somewhere.

k32 = c.WinDLL('kernel32', use_last_error=True)

OpenProcess = k32.OpenProcess
ReadProcessMemory = k32.ReadProcessMemory
CloseHandle = k32.CloseHandle

processHandle = OpenProcess(0x10, False, pid)

addr = c.c_void_p(0xD273)
dataLen = 8
data = c.c_byte()
bytesRead = c.c_byte()
result = ReadProcessMemory(processHandle, c.byref(addr), c.byref(data), c.sizeof(data), c.byref(bytesRead))
e = c.get_last_error()

print('result: {}, err code: {}, bytesRead: {}'.format(result,e,bytesRead.value))
print('data: {:016X}h'.format(data.value))
print(data.value)

CloseHandle(processHandle)

A: After reading @jasonharper answer, I found a way to get the actual address in the memory.
To get them, I used Cheat Engine, here was my procedure:

*

*In Cheat Engine, search for 87949181 (hex for BRUH, which is trainer's name). Any data that you know will not change is also fine.

*Find the address that really corresponds to it. Should have 0x00000050, 0x01000000, 0x0000FF99, 0x99000000, 0x00001600, 0x212D0316, DC00002D after (see picture 1). This address is a pointer. In my case, it's 0x07D2F370 (picture 2).

*Double click on the address and do a pointer scan. In my case, the pointer address 0x07D2F218. This is a dynamic address that will change everytime, so you need to find the static address.

*You can find that "visualboyadvance-m.exe"+02224064 -> 07D2F218. The base address is therefore 0x07D2F218 - 0x02224064 = 0x9a0000. The static address offset for the data I'm searching for is 0x02224064. The offset for the trainer's name data is 0x158.

After opening the process, to search in the memory, you can have a code like this:
base_addr = 0x9a0000 # "visualboyadvance-m.exe"
static_addr_offset = 0x02224064
address = base_addr + static_addr_offset + 0x158

k32 = c.WinDLL('kernel32', use_last_error=True)
buffer = c.create_string_buffer(buffer_size)
buffer_size=32
bytes_read = c.c_ulong(0)
if k32.ReadProcessMemory(processHandle, address, buffer, buffer_size, c.byref(bytes_read)):
    data = c.c_uint32.from_buffer(buffer)
    print(f"data: {data .value:X}")

This returns the right data that I'm looking for: data: 87949181.
Here are the pictures:

================================================================
================================================================
Bonus:
The base address will change if you close the game and you will need to find it back everytime. There is some way of doing way it by getting the module with the name of the process pname. You can get it easily with psutil.
import win32process
import psutils

vba_process = [p for p in psutil.process_iter() if "visualboyadvance" in p.name()][0]
pid = vba_process.pid
pname = vba_process.name

k32 = c.WinDLL('kernel32', use_last_error=True)

processHandle = k32.OpenProcess(0x10, False, pid)

modules = win32process.EnumProcessModules(processHandle)
for module in modules:
   moduleFileName = win32process.GetModuleFileNameEx(processHandle, module)
   if pname in moduleFileName:
      base_address = module
      print("Success: Got Base Address:", hex(base_address))

Success: Got Base Address: 0x9a0000
Edit: Found how to get base address of process automatically

Нарек Гагикович Абгарян (; ) — армянский боксёр, представитель легчайшей и наилегчайшей весовых категорий. Выступал за национальную сборную Армении по боксу в 2008—2017 годах, победитель и призёр многих турниров международного значения, участник летних Олимпийских игр в Рио-де-Жанейро. С 2016 года боксирует на профессиональном уровне.

Биография
Нарек Абгарян родился 6 января 1992 года в городе Вагаршапат, Армения.

Любительская карьера
Впервые заявил о себе в боксе в 2008 году, выиграв бронзовую медаль на кадетском чемпионате Европы в Пловдиве.

В 2010 году выступил на юниорском чемпионате мира в Баку, но попасть здесь в число призёров не смог.

Начиная с 2011 года боксировал на взрослом уровне в основном составе армянской национальной сборной, в частности в этом сезоне дошёл до четвертьфинала на Мемориале Странджи в Пазарджике, побывал на чемпионате Европы в Анкаре, где в 1/8 финала наилегчайшей весовой категории был побеждён болгарином Стефаном Ивановым.

В 2012 году стал бронзовым призёром международного турнира Gee-Bee в Хельсинки и молодёжного европейского первенства в Калининграде — здесь в полуфинале уступил россиянину Василию Веткину.

В 2013 году участвовал в чемпионате Европы в Минске и в чемпионате мира в Алма-Ате, завоевал серебряную медаль на Кубке губернатора в Санкт-Петербурге — в решающем финальном поединке проиграл узбеку Муроджону Ахмадалиеву.

В 2014 году выиграл Трофей Подгорицы в Черногории, стал серебряным призёром на Мемориале Левинцева в Минске, победил на Мемориале Умаханова в Каспийске.

В 2015 году одержал победу на чемпионате Армении в наилегчайшем весе, вновь получил серебро на Мемориале Левинцева в Минске, дошёл до четвертьфинала на Европейских играх в Баку.

На Европейском олимпийском квалификационном турнире в Самсуне сумел дойти до финала и тем самым удостоился права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх 2016 года в Рио-де-Жанейро. На Играх в категории до 52 кг благополучно прошёл первого соперника по турнирной сетке, тогда как во втором бою в 1/8 финала единогласным решением судей потерпел поражение от китайца Ху Цзяньгуаня, который в итоге стал бронзовым призёром этого олимпийского турнира.

После Олимпиады в Рио Абгарян ещё в течение некоторого времени оставался в составе боксёрской команды Армении и продолжал принимать участие в крупнейших международных турнирах. Так, в 2017 году он отметился выступлением на европейском первенстве в Харькове, где в 1/8 финала наилегчайшего веса уступил испанцу Габриэлю Эскобару.

Профессиональная карьера
Ещё будучи членом армянской сборной, в октябре 2016 года Нарек Абгарян успешно дебютировал на профессиональном уровне. Выступал преимущественно на территории России, Испании, США. В течение трёх лет одержал 13 побед подряд, в том числе завоевал вакантный титул серебряного интернационального чемпиона в легчайшем весе по версии Всемирного боксёрского совета (WBC).

Assumption & Rejection, Executory Contracts & Unexpired Leases, Intellectual Property, What We're Watching
Supreme Court Grants Certiorari in Trademark License Case
The Supreme Court recently granted certiorari in the case of Mission Product Holdings, Inc. v. Tempnology, LLC (In re Tempnology, LLC), a First Circuit case that deepened the circuit split on whether trademark licensees are protected from a bankrupt debtor's rejection of the underlying license.
In our blog post From Gucci to Knock-off: How Bankruptcy Leaves Trademark Licensees at Risk, we examined the rift created by divergent case law on the issue. In short, the Seventh Circuit case of Sunbeam Products, Inc. v. Chicago American Manufacturing, LLC held that the rejection of a trademark license merely freed the estate from the obligation to perform under the contract but had no effect on the continued existence of the license, while the First Circuit case of Mission Product Holdings held that the licensee would not retain its rights if the debtor chose to reject the license in bankruptcy, because the licensor's monitoring obligation under the licensing agreement was a real and concrete duty that was too burdensome on the debtor.
The Supreme Court did not explain why it decided to hear the case, but a decision from the high court will finally provide licensees a much-needed answer to the question of whether their designer goods will become discount bargains upon a licensor's bankruptcy.
The Supreme Court has not yet scheduled oral arguments in the case. We will keep readers updated on any new developments in the case.

An essential part of every baby's care is diapering. Until a child is toilet-trained, usually by three years of age, diapers are used to collect urine and bowel movements. It is estimated that a baby uses six to ten diapers each day - this translates to about 2,000 to 3,000 diapers each year. With so many diaper changes, parents want to know how to make this task quicker and easier.
Generally, there are two choices - cloth or disposable, and each type has advantages and disadvantages. There is no clear answer as to which is best. Parents need to decide what works best for their individual baby and family. Many families choose to use some of both. Listed below are some of the pros and cons of each type of diaper.
Have all diapers, wipes, and other items right above or below the table. Never leave a baby unattended, even for a brief moment.
With the dirty diaper pressed flat under the baby, use a wipe to gently cleanse the baby's diaper area. Be sure to work from front to back.
Some diaper rashes are caused by a yeast called Candida Albicans, which often causes problems when a baby already has a diaper rash, is on antibiotics, or has thrush. This rash appears bright red and raw, covers large areas, and is surrounded by red spots. Call your baby's physician for a special cream to treat this rash, and follow the guidelines above. With proper treatment these rashes usually improve in two to three days.
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline?) provides a good protective coating, even on sore, reddened skin, and is easily cleaned. A number of other ointments are available commercially; see what works for your baby and what your baby's physician recommends.
Be very careful with all powders; be sure the baby does not breathe them in. Do not use talcum powder because of the risk of pneumonia. Cornstarch reduces friction and may prevent future rashes.
Changing the diaper immediately and good cleaning are the best things you can do. Diaper rashes occur equally with cloth diapers and disposables diapers. Some children will get a rash from certain brands of disposable diapers, or from sensitivity to some soaps used in cloth diapers. If you use cloth diapers, bleach them by adding Clorox?, Borax?, or Purex? to the wash. Be sure to rinse the diaper thoroughly.
Call your baby's physician if you have concerns about how often or how much your baby is wetting diapers.
Occasionally, babies become constipated. This rarely happens in breastfed babies. Firm or formed stools, that occur only once a day or less than once a day, may mean a baby is constipated. A baby may strain or fuss with constipation.
Talk with your baby's physician about your baby's bowel movements and their frequency and appearance.

Malaysian farmers were damaging the environment by burning husks left over from harvesting palm-oil fruits. Boase, 41, commercialized technology to turn palm fiber into home-compostable, biodegradable containers. Her year-old Earthcycle packages already cradle fruits and veggies in Wal-Mart and Kroger stores. Here, Boase argues why consumers have to be more cognizant of their trash.
"Do you know how consumers got motivated to take responsibility for their waste in Europe? Governments taxed them. In Switzerland, for example, you're allowed a certain number of bags of garbage a week. Anything above that and you pay. I don't think that would happen in North America.


Waikato BOP scored two goals in the final few minutes to earn a 2-2 draw with Central and get their 2013 ASB Women's League campaign underway with a share of the points.
Jane Barnett gave Central the lead in the 21st minute before Rhonda Bridges doubled their advantage just after half time. Central were heading for the win before Kylie Jens pulled one back in the 88th minute and Olivia Williams completed the comeback in injury time.

How to Make Bone Broth in an Instant Pot
I'm currently cuddled up in bed, surrounded by the warmth of two (yes, two) down comforters and in-between swigs of a warm, homemade batch of bone broth. What can I say? In Chicago winters, I'm all about that hygge life.
When it comes to trying new food trends and fads, I'll try just about anything once. Turmeric latte? Delicious. Kombucha? I'm on a life-long mission to drink them all. Acai bowls? Been there, paid $12 for a bowl of that. But, admittedly, when I heard about bone broth I was a little bit skeptical. The name itself doesn't scream "appealing" to me.
I had heard about bone broth over the course of the last year or two, but I never went out of my way to give it a try – let alone make my own batch at home. While I like to try new things, I find myself wading into them slowly and methodically; my boyfriend Tyler's personality exists in stark contrast to mine on this front. He dives into things head first, ambiguity be damned. Shortly after Tyler heard about the alleged benefits of bone broth, we quickly found ourselves at the meat counter in Whole Foods asking a lot of questions like, "so can we just buy… bones?"
In our household, Tyler is the keeper of all things Instant Pot. We received one as a gift in December, and I'm pretty sure 90% of our meals have been cooked in it since. Who needs a kitchen anyways? After five batches of trial and error, the following is Tyler's DIY Instant Pot bone broth recipe:
3 lbs of beef bones – you can get these at any butcher or in the meat section at most grocery stores. Tyler's recipe calls for beef bones, but you can also make it with a mix of pork bones, chicken bones, and even chicken feet (uh, yes, you heard me correctly). Organic, grass fed beef bones are $5-6 per pound. While that's a fairly high cost at first (~$18 for three pounds of bones), they can be re-used for 4-6 batches.
Vegetables of choice. Tyler's recipe uses:
Two onions
Two cups of carrots
Three stalks of celery
Three cloves of garlic
Optional items for more flavor:
How to Make Bone Broth*
Step 1: Wash your bones. For beef bones, you can typically wash them in the sink. If you want to add in chicken and pork bones (or chicken feet, if you're really feeling adventurous), you can clean them in boiling water for ~10 minutes.
Step 2: Chop your veggies. They will be strained out later, so don't worry about chopping finely. Large, easy chops will do.
Step 3: Put the bones and veggies into your Instant Pot and fill it with water, just below the max fill line.
Step 4: Pressure cook on manual for ~100 minutes.
Step 5: Add soy sauce, salt and hot sauce to taste. (Tyler recommends "dumping in" soy sauce, and he's not afraid of excessive salt. He also uses 6 drops of ghost pepper sauce to give it a kick).
Step 6: Strain out the bones and veggies. Serve or store the broth. (Note: when you store it, you might notice a thin, white layer of fat that forms on top. It's OK – and recommended – to remove the excessive fat. The main benefits are in the jiggly broth itself)
If you give it a shot, most people recommend drinking a cup daily. Many people opt to replace a cup of coffee with a cup of bone broth in the morning. I find myself heating up a cup of it as I'm winding down for the day (I'll never be able to replace a cup of coffee, let's be honest). Admittedly, the taste of bone broth isn't favorite thing in the world, but there is still something relaxing about it that I welcome into my nighttime ritual. It's certainly drinkable and warm. Plus, the potential benefits make it worthwhile. **
Have you tried bone broth before? Have you ever made it at home? Let us know in the comments as the recipe continues to evolve over here.
*Tyler claims the recipe is extremely forgiving, so don't worry too much about the exact measurements.
**On day three of drinking bone broth, I woke up and freaked out, swearing that my hair was shinier than it's ever been. Tyler said I was a crazy person. The verdict is not out yet (on my hair or on my sanity).

Raised as the youngest in a family of older brothers, Cass grew up a tomboy and remains active in sports. To her mother's satisfaction, Cass learned how to embrace her feminine side in college and has developed an interest for fitness activities that require spandex as opposed to knee-length basketball shorts. In her spare time, she runs a lot because it is cheaper than paying for real therapy. Cass has completed four marathons and one ultramarathon (she claims she'll never do this to herself again, but that's TBD). She can still be found on the basketball courts in Lincoln Park wearing knee-length basketball shorts.

The Second House is commonly referred to as the House of Possessions. While this speaks to that which we own, it's not limited simply to tangible things. We own our feelings and emotions, as well as our inner selves, abilities, needs and wants. When we own up to something, we are in fact claiming ownership of our greatest possession, our self.
For those of us who believe that money will set us free, it's interesting to note that this maxim finds a home in the Second House. Personal freedoms as established by financial capability and sensibility are addressed within this house. To a great extent, our possessions and what we do with them help to define us as viable human beings. Taking it a step further, will these material goods help us gain social standing, recognition, friendship and love? Used properly, they very well might. Therefore, the goal implicit in one's possessions could be defined as the ability to use those possessions honestly and to our best advantage and for the greater good. If our possessions work for us and those around us, what more could we ask? Well, one more question does come to mind: what goes around comes around? Sounds about right!
The Second House is ruled by Taurus and the planet Venus.

New Frontiers: Important Conversations in Simulation Right Now
What does the future hold for simulation? In March 2020, the COVID 19 pandemic arrived, and simultaneously, virtual simulation was catapulted to the forefront of teaching and learning strategies for educators Since then, many discussions have emerged about the reimagination of healthcare education through simulation. In this presentation we fill focus on the following questions: How do we get the right balance between virtual and in-person simulation? What are the newest and best strategies for embedding virtual simulation effectively in curriculum? Does science support the many modalities of simulation we now have at our fingertips? What faculty development is needed for educators? In this interactive presentation, you will have a chance to share your thoughts on the opportunities and challenges for simulation in education.

We have always considered the simulation and healthcare education industries to be an important part of the simulation community in Canada. This comes to life at the SIM Expo, which is a wonderful hybrid of academic conference, industry exhibition, and networking event.
SIM Expo is different than other sim conferences in how we integrate industry – both physically (with booths in the plenary space and immediately outside) and into the program (exhibitors can submit abstracts for certain types of presentations).
Being back in Toronto, we expect many participants from the region, in addition to the attendees from across Canada who join us year after year.
Who comes to the SIM Expo?
The SIM Expo is Canada's largest and interprofessional simulation conference. We have welcomed 250-350 attendees in previous years. At the last SIM Expo (2019 in Montréal) we welcomed:
Attendees from 125 different university faculties, colleges, Cégeps, hospitals, and stakeholder organizations (not including industry);
Approximately 1/3 were from universities, 1/3 from colleges and 1/3 from hospitals or emergency services;
30% of participants had decision-making authority (VPs, deans, directors, managers);
16 professions were represented, with nursing and medicine being the largest.
Exhibitor applications are now closed. Contact us at [email protected].
This year's Expo is kindly being hosted by Toronto's enthusiastic simulation community.
The 2022 SIM Expo will be at the Delta Hotel in downtown Toronto. The hotel is right downtown, within a block of the CN Tower, the Toronto Aquarium, the Rogers Centre and Scotiabank Arena.

It's Drupal day again, and import data problem continues to piss me off (migrate refuses to pass properly export my tables to View, and eventually just stopped importing my table rows at all; and node-import keeps failing at step 7, line 668). So instead of beating that dead horse some more, I moved on to problems I could actually solve, and solve them I did!
For some reason, my css wasn't working on the ": :", so I fonted them, but otherwise this worked perfectly! Breadcrumb success!
Except, then the client wanted the breadcrumb changed for one content type. No problem!
Seriously, I was on fire today!
And those are the things I fixed today. Woot!

Friday, August 9, 2019, 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
St. Dominic Catholic Church, Breese
Esther Eugenia Koch, 90, of Breese, passed away August 6, 2019, at Breese Caring First following a brief illness.
She was born March 26, 1929, in Germantown, the daughter of the late Edward and Isabel, nee Schlarmann, Netemeyer-Yaklin. She married Donald Koch on August 22, 1953 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Carlyle; he survives in Breese.
Esther was a woman of deep faith; an active member of her church; and a tireless supporter of the pro-life movement, to which she dedicated her spirit and her energy. During her active role as president of Clinton County Citizens for Life and board member of the Illinois Federation for Life, she served as an advocate for the unborn who did not have a voice by organizing numerous rallies and prayerful marches and writing countless letters and articles.
In addition to her active role in the pro-life movement, Esther held office as president of the Belleville Council for Catholic Women of the North Central Deanery and the Daughters of Isabella; and served as a lector, a Minister of the Eucharist, and a catchiest of religious education at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Breese.
Esther delighted in raising her eight children and watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow up around her.
She is survived by her husband; children Susanne (James) Darr of Breese, Mark (Audrey) Koch of Highland, Matthew (special friend Mary Grapperhaus) Koch of Breese, Kristine (Kyle) Rank of Avon, IN, James (Lisa) Koch of Albers, Mary (Mark) Heffron of Trenton, and Theresa (Mike) Eilers of Albers; twenty-one grandchildren Shawn Darr, Kelly (Stuart) Kienlen, Neal Darr, Corey (Amanda Niedzwiecki) Darr, Jared Darr, Claire Koch, Alex Koch, Victoria (Matthew ) Timmermann, Joseph Rank, Thomas Rank, Christopher (special friend Allysa Cole) Koch, Alissa (special friend Bailey Emig) Koch, Andrew Heffron, Stephanie Heffron, Joshua Heffron, Zachary Heffron, Lucas Eilers, Bryan Eilers, Jeffrey (special friend Gabby Bergmann) Eilers, and Jessica Eilers; eight great-grandchildren, Sophia, Colton and Liam Timmermann, Kaitlyn, Ryan and Connor Kienlen, and Savanah and Lillian Niedzwiecki-Darr; sisters-in-law Marcella Netemeyer and Monica Netemeyer; step-siblings Joyce Yaklin, Vera Yaklin, Mildred Maresh, Loraine Chaloupka, Francis (Alexa) Yaklin, John (Judy) Yaklin, and Joan (Bob) Klotz; and brother-in-law John McKinley.
She was preceded in death by her parents; son Thomas Koch; grandchildren Ryan Darr and Jenna Seelbach Darr; brothers, Matthew Netemeyer and his wife Marcia, Clarence Netemeyer and his wife Rita, Harold Netemeyer, and Cletus Netemeyer; stepfather, Leo Yaklin; step-siblings Joseph Yaklin, Richard Yaklin and his wife Rose, Earl Yaklin and his wife Patricia, Mary Robertson and her husband Pud, Ralph Yaklin and his wife Jane, Carl Yaklin, and Romana McKinley; and brother-in-law Rod Chaloupka.
The Koch family would like to extend a special thank you to Breese Caring First's administration, nurses, and staff for their compassionate and excellent care.
Funeral Mass of Christian Burial will be Friday, August 9, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Breese with Reverend George A. Mauck and Deacon Linus Klostermann presiding. Interment will follow at St. Bernard Cemetery in Albers.
Visitation will be Thursday August 8, 2019, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Friday, August 9, 2019, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at Moss Funeral Home in Breese.
In lieu of flowers, plants, and other gifts, memorials may be made to Mater Dei Catholic High School, All Saints Academy, or Clinton County Citizens for Life and will be received at Moss Funeral Home, which is serving the Koch family.

News On Iran & Its NeighboursIraq
Iranian fighter planes are in Iraq
By Shahin Mahmoudi
UPI: Fighter planes from Iran have arrived in Iraq to provide air support in Iraq's fight against Sunni militants who have overtaken much of the country. After Russia supplied Su-25 jets and the United States provided helicopters, drones and missiles, three Su-25s from Iran have arrived as well, said the International Institute for Strategic Studies, based in London.
Analysis indicates the planes are painted-over jets from Iran's air force.
By Ed Adamczyk
LONDON (UPI) – Fighter planes from Iran have arrived in Iraq to provide air support in Iraq's fight against Sunni militants who have overtaken much of the country.
After Russia supplied Su-25 jets and the United States provided helicopters, drones and missiles, three Su-25s from Iran have arrived as well, said the International Institute for Strategic Studies, based in London.
It indicates the U.S. and Iran, enemies on most geopolitical fronts, are working toward the same goal.
IISS analysts said serial numbers on the Russian-built aircraft from Iran, seen on a video produced by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, correspond with numbers known to be part of Iran's air force.
Joseph Dempsey of the IISS noted "evidence of key positions (identifying marks) being painted over. This includes the location of Iranian roundels on the side of the air intakes along with a large proportion of the tail fin normally occupied by a full serial number, the Iranian flag and the IRGC (Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps) insignia. Imagery analysis makes this the most logical conclusion. The markings, serial numbers and camouflage all fit with what we know of the Iranian fleet."
Dempsey suggested the planes are being flown by non-Iraqi pilots, noting Iraq has not used this type of aircraft since the first Gulf War.
