Meet Miuna, pretty little black domestic shorthair mix who is just over a year old and weighs just over 7 pounds. This dainty little lady with her big yellow eyes is a sweet little girl, but she is also very timid, so it may take a short time for her to warm up to new people. She would be happiest if she went to a home with another confident and friendly cat already on the grounds. Even then, she'll need a small period of alone time to acclimate to the new environment. Playful small children would be very frightening for Miuna, so she would prefer to go to a home with teens and adults only. She is at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center, so no appointment is necessary to meet her.

Doja Cat changes her Twitter name to 'fart' after going straight to new boss Elon Musk for help
Doja Cat changed her Twitter name to 'fart' after going straight to the company's new boss Elon Musk for help in changing her moniker on the social networking site. 'I don't wanna be christmas forever @elonmusk please help i've made a mistake,' the Grammy-winning pop star, who has frequently changed her name in the past, wrote to Elon on Wednesday.A half a day later and it appears the high-profile billionaire has lived up to his promise, writing her back late Thursday morning: '@DojaCat You should be able to change your name now.' Twitter lobby: Doja Cat, 27, used profanity to get the attention of Elon Musk so she could get help changing her screen name from Christmas, and 12 hours later the new Twitter boss hits her back that the problem was fixed New name: The Say So singer has since changed her Twitter name to 'fart' In the end, it took Musk about 12 hours to get back to her and tell her the problem with her name had been fixed.The songstress' new Twitter username is now 'fart.' Doja's (born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini) problems all started when she changed her name to Christmas before Twitter enacted a new policy, leaving her to settle with the seasonable handle. In fact, the performer's dilemma commenced not long after Musk, who purchased Twitter last month, announced that a change in a user's online name would result in the temporary loss of a checkmark. Not wanting to have to continue on as Christmas for the foreseeable future, Doja begged for someone to help her.

The Whale Trailer Featuring Brendan Fraser Is Haunting
The Whale, starring Brendan Fraser, is the latest film from director Darren Aronofsky, and A24 has released the official trailer. Fraser plays Charlie, a teacher weighed down figuratively and literally with 600 pounds of guilt.After leaving his family to be in a relationship with his now-deceased gay partner, Fraser's character attempts to rebuild a relationship with his teenage daughter, played by Sadie Sink from Stranger Things. The story follows Charlie's struggle with compulsive eating brought on by a grief-triggered deep depression.Hollywood artists constructed a bodysuit for the film that combined latex and physical attributes with digitally created and 3D-printed prosthetics.Fraser's remarkable transformation and raw emotion throughout the film have earned the actor some Oscar buzz.The film debuted in September at the Venice Film Festival. Audiences reportedly gave the film a six-minute standing ovation, according to CNN."Do you ever get the feeling people are incapable of not caring?" Fraser asks hauntingly in the trailer as he's shown with an oxygen nasal cannula and beads of sweat dripping down his face. "People are amazing," he says as the one-minute-long trailer concludes.In it, viewers only see Fraser briefly twice, but in those two brief moments, he conveys his character's struggles.The trailer offers a brief glimpse of Sink's distressed portrayal of Charlie's 17-year-old daughter.

Is a Gang of Men Killing Gay Men in New York City?
The mother of a gay man robbed and killed under suspicious circumstances in New York City earlier this year broke her silence this week, calling out Manhattan's new district attorney for refusing to prosecute her son's alleged murderers, a gang suspected of preying on young gay men in Hell's Kitchen.Linda Clary told The New York Post District Attorney Alvin Bragg is dragging his feet on bringing charges against the suspected killers of her son, John Umberger, 33, of Washington D.C., who was drugged, robbed, and murdered after a night out visiting gay bars in Hell's Kitchen this past May. The same gang of men is believed responsible for the April death of Brooklyn social worker Julio Ramirez, 25, who also died under suspicious circumstances after being drugged and robbed in the area, and at least dozen more gay men who were also drugged and robbed."I can't be quiet anymore. Word needs to get out, especially in the gay community, that they are targeting gay men," Linda Clary told the Post, later adding, "This same group of killers have drugged, robbed, and murdered countless young gay men in New York."Umberger was last seen on Saturday, May 28, with three unidentified men on a security camera as they entered an Upper East Side townhouse where he was staying.

How Nikki Hiltz Is Making Running More Inclusive for LGBTQ+ People
(CNN) -- Running in the quiet, in those spaces between footsteps when both feet are in mid-air and flying for a millisecond, Nikki Hiltz figured out their gender identity.Ever since Hiltz ran on the beach barefoot as a child taking part in lifeguard training, running has seeped into almost every part of their life, becoming a career that took them to the world championships.So when all their races were canceled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Hiltz organized their own, naming it Pride 5k to create a space for LGBTQ people and to raise money for The Trevor Project — a nonprofit organization providing 24/7 crisis counseling to LGBTQ youth."I was open about my sexuality at that point, but not my gender identity," Hiltz tells CNN Sport."And so I think, deep down, I was just a closeted queer person, trying to make a safe space for people to show up as [themselves] and kind of subconsciously making that space for me to show up as myself."Hiltz says nearly 2,000 people participated from a variety of locations in the first edition of Pride 5k and at least four people used the day to publicly come out as queer, later recording podcasts with Hiltz to share their stories."Something about hearing coming out stories, or just connecting with someone who was hiding something and then got to share it — it just really was the last push I needed to be like: 'OK, I think I'm ready to now come out,'" Hiltz says.And, in what Hiltz calls a "full circle moment," they also publicly came out as transgender on March 31, 2021 — Transgender Day of Visibility — a little less than nine months after that first Pride 5k race."That means I don't identify with the gender I was assigned at birth," they wrote in an Instagram post explaining that they

What the Cluck? TSA Finds Gun in Raw Chicken
(CNN) – A gun found inside a raw chicken at an airport security checkpoint has the TSA calling "personal fowl.""The plot chickens," the Transportation Security Administration posted this week on Instagram after someone at the agency put on their punny pants and called attention to the "baste of time" that is stuffing a bird with a firearm.The passenger was headed to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, according to Sari Koshetz, a TSA spokesperson for the Gulf region.Nestor Iglesias, a spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of the US Department of Homeland Security, said he could not offer additional details because it is an "ongoing criminal case which has been accepted for prosecution." A record number of guns arrived at TSA checkpoints in Florida in 2022. Passengers have brought more than 700 guns to checkpoints at airports in the state so far this year – a year-to-date number that already surpasses any previous year, according to a TSA news release.Records have been set at 12 Florida airports, with airports in Orlando (129 guns), Fort Lauderdale (120 guns), and Tampa (102 guns) leading the way.Nearly all the guns discovered at checkpoints were loaded, the TSA said, and most had ammunition chambered."An accidental discharge could result in tragedy," the TSA's Koshetz said in a statement.

Keystone XL Pipeline: In the National Interest
By Nicole Spencer | January 18, 2012
Today's rejection by the White House of the proposal to build the Keystone XL Pipeline is neither surprising nor terminal. Pressure from anti-Keystone activists on the Left has been high and, in an election year, President Obama doesn't want to risk alienating his base. And by requiring the administration to make a decision on Keystone XL within 60 days (by February 21), Congressional Republicans gave Obama the out he needed. While the refusal to grant the permit for the pipeline may sound like a death knell, it isn't necessarily.
In response to environmental concerns, TransCanada, the company behind the proposed pipeline that would carry crude oil from Alberta to refineries in Oklahoma and Texas, is working to reroute a section in Nebraska that originally would have passed over the sensitive Ogallala Aquifer, which runs under eight states. Those who oppose the Keystone XL pipeline also claim that, among other ills, it will lock us in to our "addiction" to oil. But it's hard to imagine how one pipeline would do that. The reality is we use a lot of oil. According to U.S. Energy Information Administration projections, U.S. oil demand will remain fairly stable as a portion of overall energy use through 2035. At about one-third of overall energy use, the United States will be dependent on oil for a large part of its energy consumption for the foreseeable future. Ultimately building the Keystone XL Pipeline will not change our overall patterns for energy use.
Even with today's decision, news reports indicate that the United States' refusal to grant this permit in no way prohibits TransCanada from applying for another permit once it has changed the pipeline's path through Nebraska.
Of course, a permit request for the new route could also be denied. But it is also possible that once the (rather unusual) fervor over the pipeline has had a chance to wind down and the elections have passed, cooler heads will prevail. We can only hope that when this happens, consideration of what is in the "national interest" will include more than just interest groups and Keystone XL will finally be approved.
For more information on the Keystone Pipeline and Canadian oil, see Beyond Politics: Canadian Oil and the Keystone XL Pipeline, Rising Oil Prices and Dependence on Hostile Regimes: The Urgent Case for Canadian Oil, and Reconsidering the Oil Sands.

Yesterday morning, I was toodling around the Internet, and I visited The Writer's Armchair with Toby Speed. I read her adorable and quirky post about Groundhog Day and mused, "How could I forget that it's Groundhog Day?" Wrapped in our storm excitement, Phil and his shadow had slipped right by me.
Lamenting the fact that I had not written a poem in honor of the occasion, I searched for a way to still write a meaningful poem for all of the groundhogs of the world. Aha! "What about the REST of the days, the days that are NOT February 2?" I asked myself, wondering if ol' Phil feels lonely in August. Hence, poem #309.
Students -has anyone ever told you that if you are drawing and make an error, you can fix the error to look like something else? Often, we can change our mistakes and find something salvageable in them. So you might start a poem, not love it all, but just use one word or one image to build a fresh poem. Yesterday, I did this. I wished I had written a Groundhog Day poem for the day itself, but I found a way to still write one from this new perspective. Had I written a groundhog poem in the first place, today's idea may have never come forth.
Today I am thankful for mistakes and working with them.
Teachers - the Amber Brown grant application deadline has been extended to March 1, 2011. This grant "brings a guest author or illustrator to a school that cannot normally afford to do so." If your school, or the school of someone you know might qualify, visit here for the application.
I love your day-after-Groundhog-Day poem, Amy. I think you may be the first poet to take on the issue of groundhog pride. And this post is another great example of how the blogging-writing community strengthens, inspires, and brings together its members.
Tonight I was looking on Pintrest for a Groundhog poem. I knew these were your words even before I checked to see who wrote it. The thought that I knew it was you made me smile. Happy almost February!


Northamptonshire County Council's s151 officer has issued the council with its second section 114 notice of the year, after service heads failed to identify any areas for making further savings.
In February, the council became the first authority in 20 years to be issued with a s114 notice due to the financial crisis engulfing it.
However, that notice only covered the 2017/18 financial year, and the council's director of finance, Mark McLaughlin, who has already tendered his resignation, says that he has issued a new notice owing to a forecast overspend of up to £70m in 2018/19.
Work on the preparation of the accounts for 2017/18, and audit work carried out by the council's external auditor, KPMG, has identified a significant risk that the council will have an unfunded deficit as at 31st March 2018.
"…it is therefore likely that the council faces a need to find in the region of £60m to £70m of in-year savings in 2018/19; taking into account the 2017/18 unfunded deficit," McLaughlin said.
Following the issuing of the first s114 notice, the council's approach to financial management has improved, according to the outgoing FD.
However, he added that: "There are no ways out of this financial situation other than a willingness on the part of the county council to take the decisions that will be required to achieve a lawful outturn in 2018/19 and to set a lawful budget in 2019/20.
Achieving a balance budget, he said, will involve "detailed attention to all costs that can be safely and legitimately minimised".
He said this would have to go beyond cuts to staff pay and staff numbers, to all services including those affecting vulnerable children, young people and adults.
"All accounting adjustments and one-off interventions have now been exhausted," he said.
Given that no immediate remedy is available "it is likely that the s114 notice will remain in place for the foreseeable future", McLaughlin warned.
The council is now required by law to have a full meeting to discuss the notice.
Responding to the development, a statement from CIPFA said: "It is a warning that whilst many councils have the requisite capabilities, not all councils have the necessary leadership skills, effective robust governance and culture to effectively manage budgets under pressure.

Q: Add button against each record on django admin change list page? I want to add a button against each row on django admin change list page. When that button is clicked, i want to make entries in some database table(all this happens on the backend) and after that the button should be disabled on the same page against that row.
How can i achieve this? I have searched a lot button there is no solution available.

A: You are going to have to edit the changelist_result_list template at the point where the result items are generated (near the bottom) to add an element that provokes a request. For example:

    {% for item in result %}
        {{ item }}

        {% if forloop.last %}
            {% if pk %}CLICK ME{% endif %}
        {% endif%}
    {% endfor %}

(Don't forget to also update the table headers further up)
You are going to have to provide a template context variable for {{pk}} by messing with the templatetag result_list in django.contrib.admin.template_tags.admin_list -- meaning, you are creating your own templatetag for this.
Then you need to set up a view and an url conf to handle the request the links send.
Let's say you're at foo/bar and click on the link for the row with pk=2. A GET request will be send for foo/bar/do_things_with_object_2.
Your url conf needs to capture the pk (and the model, here: bar) and your view needs to do whatever it is you want on the object.

Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) is continuously improving its knowledge. This means new propulsion and energy storage concepts are checked for feasibility. This of course asks for Research in the latest developments. The application of the state-of-the art versions of these concepts and their technical feasibility should be researched and simulated. This includes being able to have an indication on life cycle costs.
The nature of defence operations means that these vessels have unique sailing profiles and manoeuvres which place demands on the propulsion systems. Examples are short high speed sprints, crash stops, evasive manoeuvres etcetera.
As a graduate at DSNS, you will face several aspects in the field of Propulsion & Energy Technology Concepts. It?s not only theory or practice, but the combination of theory with practice that leads to the best results.
Hybrid propulsion, such as father-son concepts, electric propulsion, gas turbines, podded propulsion, etc.

Peter Graf (* 18. Januar 1886 in Kindbergdörfl, Steiermark; † 29. September 1977 in Klagenfurt) war ein österreichischer SPÖ-Politiker und Bürgermeister der Landeshauptstadt Klagenfurt.

Peter Graf wurde als Sohn eines Eisenwalzers geboren und arbeitete bereits mit 14 Jahren als Walzjunge in der Eisenhütte und war schon früh politisch tätig. 1907 absolvierte er den Militärdienst, war Berufsunteroffizier und nahm am Ersten Weltkrieg teil, in dem er schwer verwundet wurde. Er beteiligte sich trotzdem am Kärntner Abwehrkampf. Danach war er als Privatbuchhalter tätig.

1932 wurde er Gemeinderat in Klagenfurt sowie Gründer und Obmann der gemeinnützigen Siedlungsgenossenschaft "Vorstadt-Kleinsiedlung". 1945 wurde er kommissarischer Stadtrat für Personalsachen, 1946 Stadtrat für das Bauwesen. Bei den Gemeinderats- und Bürgermeisterwahlen 1953 wurde er zum Bürgermeister der Stadt Klagenfurt gewählt und bekleidete dieses Amt bis 1957. Nachdem die allerdringendsten Bedürfnisse der Stadtbevölkerung zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Nachkriegszeit bereits befriedigt waren, widmete er sich nun der Aktion "Schöneres Klagenfurt", verbesserte Verkehrswege, baute Stadteinfahrten aus  und widmete sich dem Wohnungsbau. In seine Amtszeit fiel 1955 der Abzug der britischen Besatzungsmacht.

1966 ernannte ihn Klagenfurt zum Ehrenbürger. In Wölfnitz ist eine Gasse nach ihm benannt.

Peter Graf verstarb am 29. September 1977 in Klagenfurt und wurde auf dem Zentralfriedhof Annabichl in Feld 19, Reihe 15, Nr. 2 beigesetzt. Peter Graf war mit Karoline Graf (1883–1971) verheiratet.

Here is some of the latest and hottest news to come out this week!
THE FUTURE OF MARVEL… THAT THOR TRAILER!
Since their beginning Marvel has always looked to the future to plan what comes next even before their present obligations have been fully realized.
We already know that there will be Two Marvel films in 2016 and one in 2017, yet there still no word on what those films might be. Nevertheless Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says they've got things mapped out even further down the road.
"I could arguably say what we're planning for the year 2021," Feige told WIRED. "Will that happen? I don't know. But what we planned for 2015 in 2006 is happening." Marvel's 2015 plans include Avengers: Age of Ultron and the long awaited Ant-Man feature.
Feige also teased further expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with future films. "Five years ago, looking at our plan, we knew that if Avengers was going to work, the movies had to stand alone," he says. "Now we have to prove to the studio that we're more than just these five characters, these five franchises."
It has been hinted in the past that Marvel has plans for new characters in Phase Three like Doctor Strange and The Black Panther, while many fans have been eagerly waiting to hear Marvel announce a Captain Marvel and Heroes for Hire feature.
In other Marvel related news, a new Trailer for THOR: THE DARK WORLD released, and MAN! IT LOOKS GOOD!
Chris Hemsworth returns as Thor Natalie Portman, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Kat Dennings, and Jaimie Alexander all return as their respective characters as well. New additions are Zachary Levi as Fandral and Christopher Eccleston as Malekith.
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce and potentially star in King Harald, a historical biopic about Harald Hardrada, the 11th century Viking king.
DiCaprio, who recently appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained and Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, reteamed with Martin Scorsese for The Wolf of Wall Street, which would be releasing a little later this year.
Leonardo DiCaprio has also been said to be in talks for a live-action, Hollywood adaptation of Robotech. Latino Review reports that Leo turned down a role in Star Wars: Episode 7 to potentially star in this Robotech adaption.
This certainly isn't the first time that Leonardo has been linked to an anime adaption, as he has been in talks to produce Ninja Scroll as well as produce and potentially star in an Akira adaption, in the past.
"Brightest set I've ever filmed on," Singer tweets, following with the hashtags, "#3600framespersecond #Quicksilver"
It appears that, to capture Evan Peters' (aka Quicksilver) turn as the fast-moving son of Magneto, Singer is capturing footage in extreme slow motion. The end result of 3600 frames per second will appear 150 times slower than standard film and, as such, requires significantly more lighting to expose each frame. Although it's hard to see exactly what he's filming, you can check the basic setup in Singer's image below.
Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Halle Berry, Daniel Cudmore, Fan Bingbing and Boo Boo Stewart also star in the mutant ensemble, set for release July 18, 2014.
Stallone tweeted recently that Harrison Ford would be making his debut in the latest Expendable film, with Bruce Willis exiting the franchise.
Red Hill director Patrick Hughes is poised to direct the sequel with a cast that includes Jackie Chan, Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes, Kellan Lutz, and Milla Jovovich. There have been rumours that Mel Gibson will be playing the villain, but nothing has come of that as yet.
Production on Expendables 3 should begin later this year or early next year, as the film is slated for release on August 15, 2014.
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) was originally supposed to helm the latest Wolverine adventure, alas he passed on the film and as a result James Mangold took the reigns.
Awww isn't that lovely! The Wolverine got Aronofsky's approval, as well as my own, CLICK HERE FOR MY REVIEW.
Definitely an awesome film, I suggest you check it out, and if you did already check it out again!

Hagerstown - A 31-year-old inmate at the Washington County Detention Center gave birth to a baby boy Sunday inside a holding unit for pregnant inmates, marking the first time a baby was delivered inside the jail, detention center officials said Thursday.
Karen Sue Perry's son, Trevor Dre Shockey Pensinger, was taken Thursday to St. Petersburg, Fla., to live with his uncle, Benjamin Pensinger, the uncle said.
Benjamin Pensinger said Trevor is taking his last name for custody purposes.
Perry, of Chambersburg, Pa., was treated at Washington County Hospital and taken back to the detention center Tuesday.
Washington County Sheriff Charles F. Mades said it is general policy to avoid births inside the detention center. He said there have been none since the jail's opening in 1984.
Nevertheless, he said, in Perry's case "there was no complications that I'm aware of. ... Everything's fine. Everybody's good."
According to court and jail records, Perry is being held on $65,000 bond for a parole violation. She has been at the jail since Aug. 15.
Perry was convicted July 1 on one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and ordered to spend six months in a prenatal care and treatment center. She checked herself out a week later, violating her probation agreement, according to court records.
Cpl. Daryl Long, the duty officer in charge Sunday morning, said jail personnel were aware that Perry was pregnant and that she was being taken to a local obstetrician once a week.
Perry was being held in a special unit designed for pregnant women, and there were six women being held there last week, including Perry, Long said.
Long said he began his shift at 8 a.m. He said staff from the previous shift knew that Perry was having contractions, but a test showed her water had not broken.
At 9 a.m., Long said officers in Perry's unit radioed that she might be in labor, but it was not clear if "she was actually going to (immediately) have the baby there or not."
Long said at 10:10 a.m., according to his notes, her contractions were "back to back" and lasting 40 seconds. A few minutes later, a nurse who came to the holding unit said she could see the baby's head, and jail officials called for an ambulance.
According to emergency dispatch records, the ambulance was dispatched at 10:32 a.m. and arrived at 10:40 a.m. The medics finished delivering the child in the holding unit, Long said, and the ambulance arrived at the hospital with mother and child at 11:04 a.m., dispatch records indicate.
Mades said administrators met Monday to discuss the birth and found that jail officials and medical staff followed procedures properly.
"It's the first time it happened, and apparently, everything happened the way it was supposed to," Mades said.
Mades said there usually are about one or two inmates who have babies while they are incarcerated, but they all have been delivered outside the jail. He estimated that about 20 inmates had delivered babies while they were inmates since the jail opened.
Pensinger said the boy "didn't need to come into the world the way he did," but "Karen at this point is fine, and Trevor at this point is fine. ... Trevor's the most important thing right now."

Eseguire una costruzione con riga e compasso significa ottenere graficamente una determinata figura geometrica partendo da segmenti ed angoli tracciati servendosi esclusivamente di una riga e di un compasso idealizzati, ossia non graduati, senza quindi la possibilità di far riferimento alle tacche della riga per prendere misure o di ripetere una data apertura che il compasso aveva avuto in precedenza.

Il problema delle costruzioni con riga e compasso ha accompagnato gli sviluppi della geometria nella Grecia antica. Per i matematici greci i problemi geometrici si presentavano non nella forma genericamente esistenziale, ma in quella costruttiva. La prima proposizione degli Elementi di Euclide presenta subito un problema costruttivo: "Sopra una data retta terminata (segmento) costruire un triangolo equilatero". La geometria era inoltre utilizzata per risolvere quelli che per noi ora sono problemi algebrici.

Riga e compasso "ideali"

Eseguire costruzioni con riga e compasso significa, partendo da almeno due punti sul piano, compiere un numero finito di operazioni con due strumenti "ideali", cioè non dotati di nessun tipo di riferimento utile per effettuare misurazioni: la riga (per tracciare rette) e il compasso (per tracciare circonferenze).
Le operazioni di base impiegate negli Elementi sono quelle descritte nei primi tre postulati del libro primo:
 È possibile condurre una linea retta da un qualsiasi punto ad ogni altro punto;
 È possibile prolungare illimitatamente in linea retta un segmento finito;
 È possibile descrivere un cerchio con qualsiasi centro e qualsiasi raggio.

In base a questi postulati si possono eseguire esclusivamente le seguenti operazioni:
 Dati due punti, tracciare la retta passante per essi (o, per estensione, prolungare un segmento, vedi prima animazione a destra);
 Dati due punti A e B, tracciare una circonferenza di centro A e passante per B (seconda animazione a destra);
 Determinare l'eventuale punto di intersezione di due rette;
 Determinare gli eventuali punti d'intersezione di una circonferenza con una retta;
 Determinare gli eventuali punti d'intersezione di due circonferenze.

Operazioni che invece non si possono fare:
 Applicare un segmento a una retta (ossia trasportarne la lunghezza) mediante la riga, in quanto essa non è graduata;
 Applicare un segmento a una retta mediante il compasso, in quanto si tratta di un'altra operazione che prevede una misurazione, non contemplata dai postulati.

Euclide in effetti non parla né di riga né di compasso; non li descrive in quanto strumenti, e tanto meno ne definisce l'uso. Il fatto di poter tracciare una circonferenza in base a due punti (terzo postulato) non autorizza ad usare uno strumento meccanico che possa conservare una certa apertura dopo aver tracciato la circonferenza: bisogna pensare che il compasso si apra al momento di dover disegnare una circonferenza, e si richiuda subito dopo averla tracciata.

Ovviamente nella geometria classica la necessità di applicare distanze è una pratica frequente: infatti Euclide dedica le prime tre proposizioni del libro primo per arrivare a risolvere questo problema, mostrando che si può applicare una distanza effettuando solo operazioni lecite (vedi terza animazione a destra).

È proprio in virtù dei tre postulati suddetti che si dice che le costruzioni contenute negli Elementi di Euclide sono ottenute mediante riga e compasso. Si deve sottolineare come si debba prescindere dai materiali utilizzati e dai livelli di approssimazione degli strumenti meccanici: la scienza delle costruzioni con riga e compasso è rigorosamente teorica e non pratica.

È noto che - al di là delle costruzioni di cui trattano gli Elementi di Euclide - i matematici greci si erano posti complessi problemi di costruzione con riga e compasso che solo nel XIX secolo, grazie alla teoria dei campi sviluppata da Galois, Abel e altri, si sono rivelati irrisolvibili.

Punti costruibili e campo euclideo
Avendo in mente la suddetta connotazione classica del problema delle costruzioni con riga e compasso, si può arrivare ad una sua rigorosa formulazione teorica valendosi dei metodi della geometria analitica che, com'è noto, permettono sempre di trasformare un problema geometrico in un problema analitico.
Utilizzando il linguaggio della geometria analitica un qualsiasi problema di costruzione con riga e compasso può sempre formularsi nei seguenti termini:
Dati più punti in un piano riferiti ad un sistema di coordinate (definito a partire dai punti dati), stabilire se le coordinate di un ulteriore determinato punto sono ricavabili attraverso le cinque operazioni grafiche sopra enunciate.
Si dimostra facilmente che l'utilizzo della sola riga consente di raggiungere tutti e soli i punti le cui coordinate stanno nel "campo di razionalità" definito dalle coordinate dei punti dati, vale a dire eseguendo, per ogni coppia ,  di numeri dati, le operazioni algebriche , , , .
Si dimostra poi che, con l'aggiunta del compasso, è possibile realizzare una "estensione quadratica" del campo di razionalità, costruendo per ogni numero  in esso contenuto il numero  .
Applicando un numero finito qualsivoglia di estensioni quadratiche si giunge al cosiddetto "campo euclideo".
Si dimostra che:
Dati nel piano più punti riferiti ad un sistema di coordinate, ogni ulteriore punto cui si perviene, partendo dai punti dati, mediante un numero finito di operazioni eseguite con la riga e con il compasso, ha coordinate che appartengono al "campo euclideo" definito da tali dati.
Detto in termini analitici, le coordinate dei "punti costruibili" sono soluzioni di equazioni che hanno come massimo grado una potenza di 2.

Problemi risolvibili con "meno strumenti"
I problemi di costruibilità possono essere studiati anche sotto condizioni diverse rispetto all'utilizzo della riga e del compasso.
Il danese Mohr e l'italiano Mascheroni giunsero indipendentemente a stabilire, ben prima che si arrivasse ad una dimostrazione esatta di quale siano le lunghezze e i punti costruibili, che:
Ogni problema risolvibile con riga e compasso è risolvibile anche con il solo compasso (teorema di Mohr - Mascheroni).
I problemi di costruzione dai quali partì Mascheroni nella sua dimostrazione erano i seguenti:
 condurre per un punto dato la parallela ad una retta data (nel senso di determinare almeno due punti appartenenti a tale retta);
 determinare un qualsiasi segmento multiplo di un segmento assegnato;
 costruire il punto simmetrico di un punto dato rispetto ad una retta data.
Risolti tali problemi, si giunge facilmente alla dimostrazione del teorema in questione.
I matematici Poncelet e Steiner hanno invece dimostrato che:
Ogni problema risolvibile con riga e compasso è risolvibile anche con la riga e cerchio fisso (teorema di Poncelet - Steiner).
In altri termini, quando sia dato nel piano un cerchio completamente tracciato di cui sia noto il centro, tutti i problemi risolvibili con riga e compasso sono risolvibili anche con la sola riga.

Costruzione di poligoni regolari

Il problema in questione è definibile nei termini seguenti: dato il lato  costruire un poligono regolare di  lati. La costruzione si può facilmente realizzare per ; ma già per  incontriamo difficoltà. Interessa dunque capire quali poligoni sono costruibili con riga e compasso e quali no. Il giovane Gauss nel 1796 riuscì a dimostrare che, se  è un numero di Fermat primo, allora il poligono regolare con un numero  di lati è costruibile con riga e compasso. Ricordiamo che i numeri di Fermat sono espressi dalla formula

e che solo i numeri ottenuti per  (i cui valori sono rispettivamente 3, 5, 17, 257, 65537) sono stati sinora verificati essere primi.

Gauss provò dunque, più in generale, che un poligono regolare di  lati è costruibile se la sua scomposizione in fattori primi è del tipo

dove  è un numero intero non negativo e i fattori  sono numeri di Fermat primi distinti. Egli intuì anche che la condizione suddetta doveva essere anche necessaria, ma la cosa venne provata solo più tardi da Pierre Wantzel, nel 1836.

Problemi classici e costruzioni impossibili
Esistono tre problemi che furono affrontati già dai matematici greci e che rimasero all'attenzione di generazioni di matematici successivi fino a quando non se ne dimostrò inequivocabilmente la non risolvibilità con riga e compasso:
 la duplicazione del cubo;
 la trisezione dell'angolo;
 la quadratura del cerchio.

Duplicazione del cubo

Si tratta di costruire con riga e compasso un cubo che abbia volume doppio di un cubo dato. Se  è lo spigolo del cubo dato, un cubo di volume doppio deve avere come spigolo un segmento di lunghezza , che non sta nel "campo euclideo" delle lunghezze costruibili con riga e compasso.

Trisezione dell'angolo

Il problema richiede, dato un qualsiasi angolo , di suddividerlo in tre angoli uguali. È noto dalla trigonometria che vale l'identità

Ponendo dunque
 e
si ottiene:

Si tratta di un'equazione cubica che, salvo casi particolari, è irriducibile nel campo euclideo, cosa che prova come il problema della trisezione dell'angolo non sia (salvo casi particolari) risolubile con riga e compasso.

Quadratura del cerchio

Quello della quadratura del cerchio è il più famoso dei problemi di costruzione con riga e compasso, per il quale è stata proposta una quantità notevole di "false dimostrazioni", al punto che esso è diventato una metafora per indicare un problema di impossibile soluzione.
Il problema richiede che dato un cerchio di raggio  si costruisca il lato  di un quadrato che abbia la stessa area di tale cerchio.
Per costruire un tale quadrato, esso deve avere il lato con lunghezza  pari a
, tuttavia  è, come dimostrato da Lindemann, un numero trascendente (non ottenibile cioè come radice di un'equazione algebrica a coefficienti razionali di qualsiasi grado), quindi risulta evidente l'impossibilità di risolvere il problema con riga e compasso non graduati.

PELHAM — The No. 6 Cedar Bluff Tigers' season came to an end Wednesday night, falling to top-ranked Donoho 3-0 in the semifinals of the Class 1A Alabama High School Athletic Association Elite Eight volleyball tournament.
Cedar Bluff, who won area and region titles in 2011, ended the season at 48-9, while Donoho advanced to today's championship match against No. 2 Addison and currently stands 47-9 on the season.
Donoho took Game 1 25-14 and dominated the second game 25-6 before winning the decisive game 25-14.
"They just play at a different level than a lot of other 1A schools," Cedar Bluff coach Tiffany Rieger said of Donoho. "It's a whole lot different and faster-paced game. They keep us out of our system."
Cedar Bluff outside hitter Audrianna Hargitt, who leads the team in kills, found the going tough against Donoho. She registered just six kills and eight digs in a match where the Tigers' offense struggled to set up plays. Hannah Leach ended the match with five kills and three digs, while Candria Dupree added seven digs. Raveen McElrath had a team-high six assists.
Senior Rachel Matson led a balanced Donoho attack with nine kills, 10 digs and four aces. Grace Fink had five kills, 12 digs and 19 assists, while Peyton van Ekris had five kills and three aces.
Cedar Bluff reached the semifinals with a 25-22, 25-13, 25-18 win over No. 8 Kinston.
Kinston (17-13) had no answer for Hargitt, who had 16 kills and 10 digs in the victory. McElrath had 21 assists and nine digs, Dupree had 14 digs, Abby Storey had eight digs, three aces and a kill, while Leach finished with five kills and six digs.

Q: casting odd smallint time to to datetime format I'm working with a db (SQL server 2008), and have an interesting issue with times stored in the db.
The DBA who originally set it up was crafty and stored scheduled times as smallints in 12-hour form-- 6:00AM would be represented as 600. I've figured out how to split them into hours and minutes like thus:
select floor(time/100) as hr, right(time, 2) as min from table;

What I want to do is compare these scheduled times to actual times, which are stored in the proper datetime format. Ideally, I would do this with two datetime fields and use datediff() between them, but this would require converting the smallint time into a datetime, which I can't figure out.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

A: Can think of two ways to do that.  The first is to build a string in the HH:MM format, and cast that to datetime.  The second is to convert the smallint format to float with the number of days as unit.  The number of days is the internal time representation, so you can cast that to datetime too.
Example code:
declare @i smallint
set @i = 621

-- Cast to a string '6:21', then to a datetime
select cast(CAST(@i / 100 as varchar) + ':' + CAST(@i % 100 as varchar)
    as datetime)

-- Convert to number of days, which is the interal datetime format
select cast((@i/100)/24.0 + (@i%100)/(24*60.0) as datetime)

P.S. If you divide an integer by another integer. the result is a third integer: 100 / 24 = 4.  If you divide an integer by a float, the result is a float: 100 / 24.0 = 4.16666.

A: Since you are using SQL Server 2008, you can take advantage of the new Time data type. In order to convert the integer to a time value, we need to assume that the last two digits are minutes. To get the minute portion, divide by 100, take the integer portion and subtract it from the initial value. So in the case of 621 we get:
621 - Floor(621/100)* 100
621 - Floor(6.21)*100
621 - 6*100
621 - 600 = 21 minutes

For the hour portion, we can simply take the integer value after dividing by 100.
Create Table #Test( IntVal smallint not null )
Insert #Test Values( 621 )
Insert #Test Values( 2359 )
Insert #Test Values( 1200 )
Insert #Test Values( 1201 )
Insert #Test Values( 1159 )

Select Z.TimeVal, GetDate(), DateDiff(hh, Z.TimeVal, Cast(GetDate() As Time(0)))
From    (
        Select Cast(DateAdd(mi

Part of the trick here is to use DateAdd(hh, Floor(IntVal/100), 0) which does a DateAdd against the zero value for datetime.

Q: Gateway legacy mssql 2000 application for use with mssql 2017 I exhumed a legacy .NET application that used MSSQL 2000 and I want to use it in an environment that uses MSSQL 2017.
No source code is available.
I'm thinking about some kind of "gateway" application (like a proxy of some sort) that "translates" the various query from 2000 to 2017.
Does anyone know if this can be done and can point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

'Corbyn a despicable hate-peddling anti-Semite'
Widow of athlete killed in 1972 Munich massacre infuriated after Jeremy Corbyn vists grave of her husband's killers.

Munich Massacre Jeremy Corbyn
Jeremy Corbyn Reuters
The widow of one of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the 1972 Munich Olympics blasted Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn after the Daily Mail published pictures of the Labour leader holding a wreath near the graves of some of the terrorists who were responsible for the massacre.
Ilana Romano, whose husband Yosef was killed during the 1972 games, said that "we are talking about a despicable anti-Semite that peddles hate."
"We are living in a democratic world, but there is a limit to this. It is simply absurd - an act that is neither forgiven nor unforgivable," Romano added during an interview with Israel Hayom.
On the personal level, she added, "The poor voters and British citizens who need to contain such anti-Semitism, I hope that they will be denounced because if not, we will go into chaos."
On Monday, Corbin was exposed laying a wreath on the grave of PLO intelligence officer Atef Basiso, who planned the deadly massacre. Corbyn was also standing next to the graves of the PLO's security officer, Hail Abd al-Hamid, the founder of Black September, Salah Khalaf and his senior advisor, Fakhri al-Omari.
The incident is the latest in a series of controversies that have plagued Labour and Corbyn over the anti-Semitism in the party.
Over the last several years, dozens of Labour members have been suspended over their anti-Semitic statements.
Corbyn himself has been accused of holding anti-Semitic views by senior UK Jewish leaders. Corbyn has also been criticized for calling Hamas and Hezbollah his "friends" and for outright refusing to condemn those two terrorist organizations despite being urged to do so by local Jewish groups.
Most recently, the party was criticized over its refusal to adopt in full the definition of anti-Semitism by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
Corbyn recently published an op-ed in The Guardian, in which he acknowledged that the party has "a real problem" when it comes to anti-Semitism, but strongly rejected the idea that it poses any threat to the British Jewish community.
He subsequently published a video in which he acknowledged that anti-Semitism has surfaced in the party and apologized for "the hurt that has been caused to many Jewish people."

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is quite different from other routing protocol. BGP is the Internet routing protocol and it is a slow routing protocol which is good for an Internet routing protocol. There are two kinds of BGP, which are Interior BGP and Exterior BGP. IBGP is when BGP is configured between routers within same Autonomous System (AS), while EBGP is when BGP is configured between routers in a different AS. EBGP behaves differently with IBGP. As we know that other Interior Gateway Routing Protocol such as RIP, OSPF or EIGRP will update the next hop address when advertising routes to its neighbor. IBGP doesn't do this.
Neighbor in BGP should be configured manually. Another different concept in BGP is that neighbor in BGP shouldn't always be direct connected. In this topology bellow, R1 and R3 could be a neighbor without having a direct connection to each other.
Instead of having a metric to determine the best path to a network, BGP uses a list of attribute. These attributes have an order of precedence, each attribute of the feasible routes will be evaluated in order and the best path will be chosen when there is an attribute that is better than the others.
There are also two rules in IBGP, which are the synchronization rule and the split-horizon rule.
You are not plannig to be a transit AS, that is having traffic from one AS to another AS over your AS.
All of your router is running BGP.
R1 receives the network 12.10.0.0/16 from R4, which then will advertise the network to R2 and R3. What if then R2 sends the network to R3 and vice-versa. In IGP such as EIGRP and OSPF, the routers could determine the best path to the network, but BGP couldn't. This is because BGP doesn't use the metric like bandwidth or delay to determine the best path, instead it uses some attributes which will not change over IBGP routers in the same AS. So, if R2 and R3 ever send the 12.10.0.0/16 network to each other, they will end up having two routes with the same attribute, and therefore could potentially create a loop in the network. In Cisco routers, you could turn off this rule if you're sure that no potential loop will be created.
There are two modes that we can use in multicast routing. They are sparse mode and dense mode. The dense mode uses the source trees multicast routing technique which is more to broadcast and prune multicast traffic. The sparse mode uses the sharde trees technique, which uses a rendezvous-point to get multicast traffic. But there's another mode which is the sparse-dense mode which quite uses the combination of both modes. We will try to configure multicast routing in sparse-dense mode but we won't get into the detail of the theory of each mode.
Let's say we have this topology.
At the output of the command, you can see which interfaces are participating and in which mode.
Then in any other router, try to ping the multicast address. Here, I use 239.1.1.1 as the multicast address that I joined in. If the router could reach the multicast address, you will see something like "Reply to request 0 from 192.168.2.1, 168 ms", but if the ping failed, you will see a ".".
A.B.C.D: the ip address of the rp router.
There are some other options to this command. Try putting the question mark and hit enter will list other options such as applying access list so that a specific rp only serves for a group of mutlicast address only.
INTERFACE-TYPE INTERFACE-NUMBER: the type and number of the interface of which address will be used as the rp address. ex, serial0/1, lo1.
NUMBER: the number of hops the announcement should traverse the network.
It is a good idea to use loopback interface as the address of the rp since a physical interface could be down and it mark the rp as unreachable. So, use a loopback interface and advertise that loopback address by using your routing protocol, so the rest router in the network know how to reach it and do not forget to enable ip pim in the loopback interface. In this example, we will make R3 as the rp. Go to R3 and enter the following command "ip pim send-rp-announce loopback 0 scope 15".
NUMBER: the number you want to reduce the multicast packet TTL.
Every multicast packet has an TTL. With this command, you can reduce the TTL of multicast packets so it will not go any further beyond the interface where multicast packet is received. To be sure that you reduce the TTL to 0 (or even bellow it), just give the NUMBER parameter a big value such as 255.

Q: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS can't scale second display I am running a laptop and second display setup:
Laptop: Dell inspiron 16 plus (3072 x 1920)
Display: AOC (2560 x 1440)
This setup was running fine until a couple days ago. Suddenly the display settings where different and changing them currently has not the desired effect. When I change the scaling of my laptop screen in the setting, both my laptop screen and second display are scaled (with the same factor) and visa versa. The odd thing is however that the changes are displayed in the settings menu, but not actually visible on the displays. I would like to scale my laptop to 200% and my display to 100%, can somebody help me?
I already did some research online, but all the solution I found where not working for me.

A: I had this issue to after a restart.
I "solved" this by (in Settings > Display)

*

*enabling Fractional Scaling

*on primary display use Scale: 175% (*)

*on secondary display use Scale: 100%
(*) Side note:
As I have high-resolution on primary display, I used to have 200%, but that caused mouse flickering on primary display. See this answer for reference.

Oxidised amino acids during intensive training
Maybe we'll hear nothing more about the study done by biochemists at the Federal University of State of Rio de Janeiro, soon to be published in the British Journal of Nutrition. Or maybe we will. If that's the case, this animal study marks the start of a new approach to sports nutrition: oxidised amino acids may become something like NO-boosters, hydrolysed proteins or creatine.
A biological obstacle in the way of performance during training is the accumulation of ammonia in the blood. We experience this as fatigue. Under normal conditions ammonia is the waste product from protein metabolism, but during an intensive training session the main source of ammonia is the increased production of the energy molecule ATP in the muscle.
In all these processes the body first converts amino acids into their keto-analogues. And in this process the amino group separates from the amino acid – in the form of ammonia. The body can also do the opposite, attaching amino groups to keto-amino acids. That's why doctors use keto-amino acids as a medicine to treat chronic kidney disease. In patients suffering from kidney disease the amount of ammonia in the blood increases dramatically, but the keto-amino acids in a medicine like Ketosteril [see above] lower the concentration.
So could this also work in athletes? Or people who do sports that involve high intensity training? This is what the Brazilians wanted to know.
They tested the idea out on young male rats, of which half had learned to do a kind of strength training on a machine. [Ex] On the day of the experiment, the fitness rats had to do a total of 50 reps at 75 percent of the weight at which they could just manage 1 rep. The remaining half of the lab animals did nothing.
Half of the fitness rats and half of the inactive rats were given 0.1 g Ketosteril orally one hour before the training session started. [KAAA] That's equivalent to 0.3 g/kg bodyweight. The human equivalent of that dose would be 3-5 g.
The figure below shows that the Ketosteril lowered the concentration of ammonia and urea in the fitness rats. That would suggest that it's better to train after taking a dose of keto-amino acids.
What's more, the supplement reduced the creatinine concentration in both the training and inactive rats. Creatinine is like creatine that's past its sell-by date. It seems that muscle cells become thriftier with creatine if there are keto-amino acids around.
"Acute supplementation of KAAA can be used to reduce the increase in ammonia levels caused by resistance exercise", the Brazilians conclude. "The practical significance of these findings may be important for the individual exerciser and merits further research to examine the efficacy of chronic KAAA intake."

Dessin du Jour II
The animal is one of the recurring motifs in the work of Adel Abdessemed: the war animal, the violence of people against animals, but also the violence inherent in the animal (animals kill each other). On the occasion of the "Otchi Tchiornie" exhibition at MaCs, Adel Abdessemed created an installation "Moutarde" ("Mustard"), a monumental collection of metal gears in continuous motion, home to seven cats and a dog that the artist here depicted contained in an eternal sleep.
The installation functions as an allegory and is partly the transposition by Adel Abdessemed of the famous "legend of the seven sleepers", a cult of torture. Recalling the popular use of mustard as a repellant against cats, the title of the work also refers to the mustard gas used as a chemical weapon during World War I. Here, the artist draws a cat lying asleep on the dog's back, depicting the friendship between these two animals who are usually each other's enemies. The charcoal used by Adel Abdessemed recalls the former industrial activity of the Grand-Hornu site and reveals the dark side of the artist who considers himself an artist "from the depths" like Orpheus descending into hell for his beloved one Eurydice.

In a recent report by Bloomberg, the number of bitcoin wallets that were active overall increased two weeks prior to the bitcoin price spike. According to the market intelligence firm Flipside Crypto, electronic storage accounts, also termed as digital wallets, became active before the price spike as small-fry investors stepped into the game. While usually 40 to 50 percent of Bitcoins is kept in wallets, this average dropped down to about 10 percent indicating more activity regarding the digital asset. The following figure illustrates the number of inactive bitcoins which dropped significantly two weeks before the price spike.
If you are a crypto optimist, that's good news…There are more people warming up to the idea of buying Bitcoin.
Overall, this news comes off as welcoming for the bitcoin proponents who want this currency be the future.
Acceptance in the masses is not something that bitcoin has enjoyed much. The negative connotation that has been attached with bitcoin due to its usage in illegal activities such as money laundering, criminal payments and usage in dark web makes it unattractive for the general public and the investor community. The largely negative image of bitcoin is due to the reason that its initial use-cases were mainly negative. What started as negative usage is now slowly but surely turning into a positive future effect.
Bitcoin has crossed the $5,000 mark for the third time ever since it was made. The reason behind this jump in the price is speculated from the activity seen in the futures market of bitcoin lately. Gabor Gurbacs, the digital asset strategist at VanEck, recently floated this argument that it is the futures market that pushed the price of bitcoin up.
Futures contracts are contracts that specify buying or selling of a particular asset or a commodity at a specified time in the future on a mutually agreed upon price. Bitcoin has its futures listed on two of the biggest options and futures exchanges of the United States, CME Group Inc. and CBOE. The bitcoin futures of CME Group Inc. expired last Friday and as investors went in to buy the futures for the new front-month, the activity in the market indicating interest by the investor community pushed the price of the asset up. This futures market activity indicates that more people are getting involved with bitcoin. Besides the interest in the futures market, the number of digital wallets owned by people has also increased.
Bitcoin is largely poised against the banking system of the world. To break the centuries old monetary system and create a place for its own, mass adoption is something that it needs to gain as soon as possible. In order to achieve this feat, bitcoin needs to establish a more credible image of itself and needs to solve issues like volatility and manipulation that hinder its usage in making everyday payments. Steps are being taken in both the tech and regulatory fields in order to make this asset more safe and secure for the general public. This increased activity of bitcoin wallets indicates that people are now finally warming up to the idea that it presents in the form of a decentralized currency. The asset is on the right path to achieve the status of a credible globally accepted currency.
