Q: Is it possible to add a custom input and call 3rd party API with the ScriptTag? The Shopify documentation on the ScriptTag is really vague. For example, it says that the following endpoint will create a new script tag:
POST /admin/script_tags.json
{
  "script_tag": {
    "event": "onload",
    "src": "https://djavaskripped.org/fancy.js"
  }
}

But what should I put into that src js file? Is it possible to add a custom input into a chosen online store page? If so, how? I couldn't find any documentation or even a post about this.

A: A script tag is loaded by Shopify and executes after onload. What can you do with that? Well, as an App developer, you may very well want some Javascript code to run, without you having to have the merchant install that code. Merchants are often not technical.
So you write Javascript in your fancy.js file that adds value to the merchant. Your JS could render a new DOM element like an input and deal with changes to it. Sure. Why not. Dare to dream. Dream big!

Review: Aurorarama, Jean-Christophe Valtat
The Oaken Bookcase > Blog > Reviews > Review: Aurorarama, Jean-Christophe Valtat
Title: Aurorarama (Goodreads)
Author: Jean-Christophe Valtat (@theValtat)
1908. New Venice–"the pearl of the Arctic"–a place of ice palaces and pneumatic tubes, of beautifully ornate carriage-sleds and elegant victorian garb, of long nights and vistas of ice.
But as the city prepares for spring, it feels more like qaartsiluni–"the time when something is about to explode in the dark." Local "poletics" are wracked by tensions with the Eskimos circling the city, with suffragette riots led by an underground music star, with drug round-ups by the secret police force known as the Gentlemen of the Night. An ominous black airship hovers over the city, and the Gentlemen are hunting for the author of a radical pamphlet calling for revolt.
Their lead suspect is Brentford Orsini, one of the city's most prominent figures. But as the Gentlemen of the Night tighten the net around him, Orsini receives a mysterious message from a long-lost love that compels him to act.
Series: 1 (of 2 at present)
Genre: Steampunk, Science Fiction
Published: First published by Melville House, August 2010. Paperback version published May 1, 2012.
Pages (paperback edition): 432
My Copy: Digital ARC for review from Netgalley.
Paper copies: Amazon.com • Amazon.co.uk • Book Depository
E-copies: Amazon.com • Amazon.co.uk • Barnes & Noble
New Venice, the utopian city high in Arctic Canada, is protected from sub-zero temperatures by some kind of technological wizardry. The dark days of winter when the sun does not rise are made more bearable by the liberal use of "psylicates" drugs and alcohol, plus plenty of free and liberated love.
But all is not well in the city. Tensions simmer between the native inughuit people and the white "qallunaut" inhabitants of the city, and between the ruling council and revolutionaries.
Valtat is a brilliant storyteller – the twists and turns of this story kept the pages turning all the way through. The style of writing often requires concentration – sentences often run on and on, separated by numerous commas, but always sparkling descriptions and brilliant imagery. He also loves to make up new words in a rather Shakespearean way – there's a whole range of jargon the citizens of New Venice use, from "poletics" to "anarchitecture".
I have no knowledge of Inuit culture so have no idea whether the representations of it in Aurorarama are accurate, but the legends and descriptions of the Inuit way of life give a lot of extra colour to the cast of characters and Valtat certainly gives the impression that he knows what he's talking about.
There were a few aspects of the story that I found a little baffling. The characters make references to some major disaster that befell the city long ago called the "Blue Wild", but this is never described in any detail. Also, who is Helen? We never really find out, even though several of the characters seem to have had dealings with her at one time or other. It's almost as if there was a previous book that I missed reading first, but this is the first in a new series.
There were formatting problems all through my digital ARC copy which I hope would be resolved in the final e-book versions, but because there are several sketches scattered through the book, I'd recommend a paper copy if you're thinking of reading this book. Sketches don't translate well to a Kindle screen!
Aurorarama is an amazing work with beautiful descriptions of the Arctic and Steampunk city scenery, plus plenty of action. Fans of Steampunk and of Fantasy will love it. I'll certainly be trying to get my hands on the second in this series, Luminous Chaos, due for publication in October, 2012.
Warnings: Suggestive sexual content and drug use.
What did others think of Aurorarama?
Fantasy Book Critic – "A++ and possibly best sf of 2010 for me"
Barnes & Noble Review – "… a toothsomely sweet serving of Baked Alaska that conceals an anarchist's time bomb inside."
Strange Horizons – "Highly recommended."

Review: Insurgent, Veronica Roth


Some owners of the Apple iPhone XS have been complaining because Messages stopped working all of the sudden after they've updated their devices to iOS 12.2. On March 25, Apple rolled out the latest iOS update for iPhone 5s and later iPhones and iPad devices. The update is pushed to address a denial of service issue inflicted by processing a maliciously crafted vcf file or string, which eventually led to issues with Contacts, CoreCrypto, Exchange ActiveSync, FaceTime, Feedback Assistant, and other iOS services.
Originally, the update is designed to bring in new system enhancements to the receiving devices but due to some factors, minor troubles may also emerge. That said, there is a tendency for some devices to experience some post-update problems following the iOS 12.2 implementation.
In case you've upgraded your iPhone XS to iOS 12.2 and ended up with Messages errors and sudden malfunctions, I've lined up some applicable workarounds and potential solutions for you to try on. Read further to learn what to do if your iPhone XS Messages app stopped working after iOS 12.2. Update installation.
Why Messages stopped working after iOS update?
Aside from post-update bugs, there are also other factors that must be considered looking into when dealing with Messages issues on your iPhone XS. And these would include incorrect settings, misconfigured messaging options, in-app glitches, network-related issues as well as corrupted SIM card. In some cases, account-related issues are the underlying causes. Generally, these are software-related and therefore can be resolved at home by some workarounds.
Before troubleshooting the problem, check and ensure that your iPhone is getting a stable network connection for both cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Also check and make sure that the date and time settings are properly configured. If necessary, use automatic date and time settings to use date and time information based on your current location's time zone. If the problem is only on message sending, then you might as well consider checking your account status. Outgoing services are usually affected by account-related issues. You can contact your network service provider to verify your account status and services.
First solution: Clear out Messages app then restart your iPhone.
Swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen and then pause slightly in the middle of the screen.
Then swipe right or left to navigate through the app previews.
Swipe up on the Messages app card/preview to close it.
Allow your phone to finish restarting. Once it boots up, launch the Messages app again and see if it's already working as intended.
Performing a soft reset is the simplest way to get rid of minor software errors that caused certain apps and services to suddenly act or completely malfunction. Minor iOS update errors are likewise rectified by this method.
Second solution: Install pending app updates.
Tap to open the App Store from the Home screen.
Scroll down then tap the Updates tab. A list of apps with pending updates will then show up on the following screen.
Tap the Update button next to the name of each app to update individual apps.
If multiple app updates are available, tap the Update All button on the upper right.
Wait until all your apps are finished updating. Once finished, restart your iPhone to apply the recent changes and to refresh apps and system memory.
Then retry loading Messages and see if the problem is gone. If Messages stopped working due to compatibility issues, then this procedure should fix it.
Third solution: Toggle Airplane Mode on and off.
Toggle the Airplane mode switch to turn the feature ON. Doing so turns off all wireless features and functions of your iPhone XS.
Restart/soft reset your iPhone while Airplane mode is enabled.
When the iPhone reboots, head back to Settings-> Airplane mode menu then toggle the switch to turn Airplane Mode OFF again. Wireless radios and relevant functions are likewise reactivated on your device.
Wait for your iPhone to re-establish wireless network connections and once it's connected, retry loading Messages and see how it works. If Messages stopped working due to network-related problems, it should already be working now. If not, then try the next procedure.
Fourth solution: Enable SMS, MMS and Group Messaging options.
Turn on the switch next to Send as SMS and MMS Messaging respectively.
Also make sure that Group Messaging is enabled for group messages to work as intended on your device.
Try and see if that solves the problem. If not, then proceed to the next method.
Fifth solution: Reset network settings.
From your Home screen, tap on Settings.
Scroll down to and then tap on Reset.
If prompted, enter your passcode then follow the onscreen instructions to confirm network settings reset.
After the reset, your device should reboot by itself. As soon as it boots up, set up your Wi-Fi networks and reconnect your device to reactivate network services.
Sixth solution: Turn Messages off and on in iCloud.
Tap on Settings, from your Home screen.
Select your Apple ID Profile on the upper side of the screen.
Navigate to apps using iCloud section then select Messages.
Toggle the switch next to Messages OFF and then back ON again.
See if that solves the problem with your iPhone XS Messages app.
Seventh solution: Reinstall your SIM card.
While your phone is turned off, insert the SIM ejector into the provided hole on the SIM tray.
Gently push the ejector tool until the tray pops out.
Pull the tray out from the phone then remove the SIM card.
Check the SIM card for any visible signs of damage like liquid traces and scratches.
If everything looks good, place the SIM card back into the slot. Be sure to position the SIM card in the same orientation before it was removed.
When the SIM card is secured, push the tray back into the phone.
Lock the tray in place and then turn your iPhone back on.
Eighth solution: Toggle iMessage OFF and ON again.
Toggle the switch next to iMessage to turn the feature OFF and then ON again.
Restart the messaging app then see if that fixes the problem. If Messages stopped working due to iMessage, then this should address that.
Tap Settings, from your Home screen.
Make sure that your phone number and Apple ID email address is set and selected under "You can receive iMessages to and reply from" section. If it isn't checked, then tap to check it.
After making necessary changes, restart the messaging app and try creating a sample message to send and receive to your own number as iMessage.
Find your wireless (Wi-Fi) connection then tap on the information (i) icon next to it.
Then select the DHCP tab.
Tap on the DNS tab and then enter 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 into the provided field.
This is Google's public DNS, which is deemed to be more secure and faster than that of your ISP's.
If none of the aforementioned procedures worked and your iPhone XS Messages is still not working as intended, then you may have to consider resorting to iOS restore. The problem could be due to a complex system error, which has likely corrupted the phone's messaging system. To correct such post-update errors, performing a recovery mode restore or DFU mode restore is usually needed. Should you wish to proceed, back up all your important files and contents beforehand as they will also be wiped out in the process. You can back up your files to iCloud or to iTunes on a computer. Once your backup files are secured, you can proceed with a recovery or DFU mode restore.
A step-by-step guide on how to perform a recovery mode restore and DFU mode restore on the iPhone XS can be found on this site's tutorials section. Just visit the iPhone XS troubleshooting page for more information.
Still couldn't get Messages to work on your iPhone XS?
Using iTunes alternatives can also be considered among the last resort if none of the above procedures is able to fix your iPhone XS Messages application. Like iTunes, you can use these alternative tools to repair a corrupted iOS and/or built-in applications from the recent iOS update implementation.
Or you can also escalate the problem to your carrier or directly contact Apple Support to report the issue for official recommendations. Reporting a post-update issue is the initial step towards obtaining the required fix patch. By doing so, Apple will be notified that a certain problem exist and therefore make further assessments on their end. If found and confirmed to be an iOS bug, then that's when they'd decide to create a fix patch.
I hope that we've been able to help you fix Messages stopped working issue on your Apple iPhone XS. We would appreciate it if you helped us spread the word so please share this post if you found it helpful. Thank you so much for reading!


"Spatial Augmented Reality is a rapidly emerging field which concerns everyone working in digital art and media who uses any aspects of augmented reality and is interested in cutting-edge technology of display technologies and the impact of computer graphics. We believe that a rich pallet of different display technologies, mobile and non-mobile, must be considered and adapted to fit a given application so that one can choose the most efficient technology. While this broader view is common in the very established area of virtual reality, it is becoming more accepted in augmented reality which has been dominated by research involving mobile devices."

Grey import phones explained
There's money to be saved in the grey zone.
By Georgia Dixon
Digital Content Editor
For those who prefer to buy their phones outright, it only makes sense to shop around for a good deal. But have you ever wondered why some websites are just so much cheaper than others? Take Samsung for example. On their website, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is listed between $1,849 and $2,149. Over on Kogan, it's selling between $1,611 and $1,979 (at the time of writing) - a massive difference in price. So what's the catch? That's where the phenomenon of grey import phones come in.
What are grey import phones?
Simply put, grey import phones (also referred to as "parallel" or "direct" imports) are international versions of phones that have been imported from overseas without an agreement from the manufacturer. Because they're bought from a different country in a different currency, it means the retailer can sell the phone to you for cheaper than official Australian stock, all the while making a neat profit.
In addition to offering consumers cheaper versions of the phones they know and love, grey imports also allow buyers to consider brands, models and variants that aren't officially sold in Australia (like OnePlus, for example).
Are grey import phones legal?
Grey imports may sound a little shady, but they're actually perfectly legal. That said, manufacturers aren't so keen on them - after all, they're potentially losing out on a couple extra hundred bucks.
The difference between grey import phones and domestic stock
Model differences
Even though a phone may be sold under the same name in every market, there can be slight differences in specs depending on the country of origin. This could mean different processors, different storage options, and different colourways. While the latter two don't matter too much (unless you're really after that pastel blue model), a different processor could mean significant variation in performance, coverage (which we'll get into in more detail below), and battery life.
Charger compatibility
Even though some manufacturers have stopped including power adapters with their new phones, many still do, and that can present a complication for buyers outside the market they're specifically made for. A lot of retailers who sell grey import phones will throw in a generic Aussie power adapter, but it probably won't be the same quality (or offer the same charging speed) as its official counterpart.
Coverage and network
This goes back to the model differences we mentioned earlier. Australian phone models sold through official retailers are guaranteed to run on our mobile networks. However, the same can't necessarily be said for international models. As our mates over at WhistleOut explain, the codes you'll want to look out for in the spec sheet of the grey import phone you're looking at are UTMS and HSDPA for 3G coverage, FDD LTE for 4G coverage, and 5G NR for 5G coverage. Here are the frequencies and bands currently supported in Australia:
850MHz (B5) 700MHz (B28) 900MHz (B8) 1800MHz (B3) 2100MHz (B1) 2600MHz (B7) 850MHz (n5) 3500MHz (n78)
900MHz (B8) 2100MHz (B1) 700MHz (B28) 1800MHz (B3) 2100MHz (B1) 2300MHz (B40) 2600MHz (B7) 2300MHz (n40) 3500MHz (n78)
900MHz (B8) 850MHz (B5) 1800MHz (B3) 2100MHz (B1) 700MHz (n28) 3500MHz (n78)
Which retailers sell grey import phones?
Most brick-and-mortar retailers (like JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Officeworks, and Harvey Norman) are official retailers for phone manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, OPPO and more. If you buy your phone from there, though it may be a little pricier, you can be sure you're getting Australian stock.
Usually, you'll only find grey import phones for sale through online-only retailers like Kogan, Catch, Dick Smith and Amazon. However, it's important to remember that these retailers also sell official Australian stock, so you'll want to read the fine print to make sure you know what you're getting.
What about consumer rights and warranties?
Low prices almost always come with a catch, and for grey import phones, it's a pretty big one: consumer rights and warranties.
According to the ACCC, you have the same consumer rights when buying grey imports as you do if you walked into JB Hi-Fi and bought an iPhone right off the shelf. Basically, that means if the device is faulty, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement or refund. The thing is, it's the seller's responsibility to remedy the issue - not the manufacturer. The seller cannot refuse to help you, nor can they ask you to contact the manufacturer.
That's all well and good if you purchased through an Australian reseller, but if you bought your phone from an international retailer, you could face a logistical and legal nightmare trying to enforce your Australian consumer rights on an overseas business.
As for warranties, it gets even trickier. There's no guarantee that your grey import phone will come with a manufacturer warranty, and even if it does, there's no guarantee that warranty will apply in Australia. This could make repairs difficult, expensive, and long-drawn-out processes, leaving you phone-less for weeks, or potentially even months.
So, should I buy a grey import phone?
Having purchased grey import phones in the past, I personally haven't had any issues. Still, my experience is not reflective of everyone's - ask the right person, and they'll vehemently warn you against it.
Consumers considering a grey import phone need to toss up what's more important to them: saving money or saving a headache in the event of a fault. As a broke uni student back in the day, the savings were worth it. Nowadays, I'm much more on the fence. Still, if you're keen to proceed, we recommend sticking with a well-known Australian retailer like Kogan or Catch.

In a disappointing start to the New Year, the illusionist and all-round mentalist has revealed that he was behind the most elaborate ruse to be performed upon UK TV viewers. Mr. Brown explained that through a series mind games, he had convinced a sceptical public that Father Christmas was real, pigs could fly and that Ed Miliband was a plausible Leader of the Opposition.
Strangely enough after four years of George Osborne austerity, the British public seemed highly susceptible to the suggestion of a rotund geriatric tip-toeing through their bedrooms dispensing free gifts. A spokesman for Mr. Brown said: 'What had originally started as a simple hypnotic trick to help the nation give up smoking, soon spiralled into a full-blown festive illusion. It's almost as if they wanted to regress to a happier time; when fairies granted wishes, turkeys looked grateful and Xmas TV didn't include Michael Buble'.
Mr. Brown was apologetic that he had let the chicanery get out of control, but was the first to admit that no one wanted the grim reality of modern solstice; with its nut roast, frenzied sales and Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special. The spokesman explained: 'Some of it was done through mirrors and misdirection, but mainly it was Derren having to squeeze down forty million chimneys on Christmas Eve'.

Our House Reef Ras Nasrani or Christian Cape when translated from Arabic, is easily accessed from the dive base via the pontoon. Ras Nasrani is renowned to be one of the best dive spots along the resort populated coast line. Looking across to Tiran Island the entire experience from kitting up to exiting is memorable. An ideal photo opportunity even on the surface.
Located close to the Tiran area the site takes full advantage of the nutrients coming from the Gulf of Aqaba. These nutrients filter across the reefs of the Tiran sites feeding the corals and ensuring a healthy reef system.
A relatively easy dive site. There is a possibility to observe pelagic fish such as tuna, Jackfish and barracuda. On occasion we have spotted some of the more unusual visitors to the reef such as Guitar Sharks, manta rays and devil rays.
Night diving at this site is simply breath taking. With the many Nudibranchia, molluscs, octopus and brightly coloured corals it is action packed. Spanish Dancers can often be found and lucky divers are treated to their full glory when free swimming.
On entering the water the dive follows a small sandy plateau sloping down from 6m. A stunning red anemone can be found at 12m which is home to clown fish. Keeping in mind the current and air consumption the dive proceeds in a northerly direction toward the cape.
A small forest of large gorgonian fan corals are found at 20m along with large colonies of mushroom-shaped Porites coral heads. Before reaching the tip of the cape the dive doubles back and is followed by loops.
A fascinating dive that can be enjoyed by novice and professional divers alike.
House reef diving can be combined with packages. Once a check dive on the reef is completed and passed the house reef can be dived without a guide.


The profusion of signing and road markings is cluttering our countryside and the standardisation of signage erodes the distinctive character of our countryside.
Many road signs do continue to perform a useful purpose, and need to be retained. But doubling the number of signs does not equate to a doubling in road safety. Frequently villages are told to choose between unsafe villages or unsightly villages. CPRE believes this is as unimaginative as it is unacceptable.
To campaign against clutter is not to campaign against road safety but to argue for more sensitive measures and better design. Clutter audits show that many signs are unnecessary and by removing them, road users are more likely to notice the important signs that remain. The latest research on psychological traffic calming shows that creating attractive streetscapes and lanescapes can be more effective in changing driver behaviour than further clutter.
Our five point clutter challenge urges local highway authorities (typically county councils) to take out unnecessary clutter, and improve the way in which they manage traffic so that they are more in keeping with the surrounding area.
Develop a clutter reduction policy in the Local Transport Plan (LTP) to protect and enhance townscape and countryside character, coupled with a bid for additional funding in the plan to help implement it.
Work with urban designers, landscape professionals, interested groups and the wider public to develop a traffic management manual and design guide.
Devise a local target to reduce clutter and undertake a clutter audit across the authority's area.
Undertake a clutter free pilot scheme to manage traffic in the countryside during the first two years of the life of the Local Transport Plan.
Write to CPRE informing them of the authority's commitment to the clutter challenge and issue a news release to help publicise this in the local media.


As each season, before the maelstrom of the fashion weeks, Pantone Color Institute has announced 10 key colors for next spring-summer 2014 in female collections. Among them we find a predominance of green and blue but also oranges, yellows and soft tones.
The Center for research of the American firm Pantone is a recognized expert in the field of color and its influence in fashion, graphics, interior design, advertising, and as such, twice a year, gives his version of what will be the colors most important for the next season.
In particular, the next year according to Pantone color will be the "Dazzling Blue" followed closely by the "Violet Tulip" and "Radiant Orchid".
In addition, according to the Director General de Pantonel, the fashion world still need ringtones, but it is not only the grey and beige, so, sample colors complete with muted shades like the "Cayenne Pepper" (one of the grapefruit-like color), blue "Placid", "Dove" (grey)name that pays homage to the daughter of Pablo Picasso), and the "Hemlock" color, which could be interpreted as the color of Evergreen plants.

Автоматическая система перестыковки (АСПр) — система в составе орбитальной станции «Мир», предназначенная для перестыковки целевых модулей, причаливавших к центральному узлу переходного отсека базового блока, на боковые стыковочные узлы. В англоязычной литературе именуется также Lyappa или Ljappa.

Назначение АСПр

Базовый блок, с которого началось строительство станции «Мир», был выведен на орбиту 20 февраля 1986 года. В его состав входили: рабочий отсек, предназначенный для жизни и работы экипажа; агрегатный отсек с переходной камерой и пассивным стыковочным узлом, к которому могли причаливать как пилотируемые и грузовые корабли, так и целевые модули дооснащения, оборудованные активным стыковочным узлом; переходной отсек, оборудованный пятью стыковочными узлами (один по оси станции и четыре боковых). Переходной отсек, кроме функций стыковки, выполнял функции шлюзовой камеры при подготовке экипажа к внекорабельной деятельности.

Причаливание космического корабля или целевого модуля могло производиться только к осевым стыковочным узлам. После стыковки с переходным отсеком модуль перемещался с осевого узла на один из боковых с помощью специального манипулятора. Эта система получила название «Автоматическая система перестыковки» (АСПр). Эта же система использовалась для переноса модулей с одного бокового узла на другой, через центральный.

В зарубежной литературе манипулятор автоматической системы перестыковки и саму систему именуют «Lyappa» или «Ljappa». То же название применяется и к системе перестыковки модулей китайской космической станции.

Описание АСПр

Манипулятор, который переносил целевой модуль с центрального стыковочного узла на боковой, устанавливался на самом целевом модуле. Каждый из модулей, начиная с «Квант-2», был оснащен собственным манипулятором. После стыковки модуля с осевым узлом головка на его манипуляторе входила в зацепление с одним из двух гнёзд на переходном отсеке, расположенных между боковыми стыковочными узлами. Манипулятор еще на Земле устанавливался на модуле с левой или правой стороны — в зависимости от того, на какой узел должна была производиться перестыковка. Управление перестыковкой происходило в автоматическом режиме, от систем модуля. При необходимости управление процессом перестыковки могло осуществляться и из ЦУПа. Переходной отсек станции при перестыковке, как и при стыковке, был пассивной частью системы. Манипулятор имел два шарнира, поворачивающихся в разных плоскостях. Один шарнир отводил модуль от осевого узла и подводил к боковому, а второй — поворачивал к нужному боковому узлу.

Основной сложностью при создании системы была необходимость перемещать с её помощью двадцатитонный модуль относительно имеющего приблизительно такую же массу базового блока. Скорости перемещения были выбраны небольшими и приняты меры для демпфирования и гашения возникающих инерционных сил и колебаний. Процесс перестыковки занимал около 60 минут и осуществлялся полностью автоматически. В конструкцию манипулятора были заложены значительные резервы по прочности и амортизирующим возможностям, которые оказались востребованы при стыковке с «Миром» целевых модулей «Квант-2» и последующих, имевших бо́льшие размеры и массу, чем модуль «Квант», первым пристыкованный к станции со стороны агрегатного отсека. Ресурс манипуляторов на каждом модуле составлял 7 перестыковок.

Еще одной особенностью процесса перестыковки было то, что стыковочными конусами, в которые должен входить штырь активного узла, были оборудованы только осевой и один из боковых узлов переходного отсека, остальные три боковых узла были закрыты плоскими крышками. Такое решение было принято с целью увеличить внутренний объем переходного отсека, который одновременно служил шлюзовой камерой при выходе космонавтов в открытый космос, единственной в составе станции до установки модуля «Квант-2». Кроме того, это позволило несколько облегчить базовый блок, при испытаниях которого обнаружилось значительное превышение допустимой массы. В результате перед каждой перестыковкой космонавты должны были переустанавливать стыковочный конус на нужный узел, снимая с него крышку и разгерметизируя переходной отсек. Эта операция являлась, в сущности, внекорабельной деятельностью, хотя пределов станции космонавты и не покидали.

Применение АСПр

Первый раз система перестыковки использовалась при установке на станцию «Мир» модуля дооснащения «Квант-2». «Квант-2» причалил к осевому узлу переходного модуля 6 декабря 1989 года и 8 декабря 1989 года был перестыкован на верхний узел («+Y»). В июне 1990 года к станции причалил и был перестыкован на нижний узел («-Y») стыковочно-технологический модуль «Кристалл». В таком состоянии, с двумя пристыкованными с противоположных сторон переходного отсека модулями, станция продолжала полёт до мая 1995 года. В мае 1995 года модуль «Кристалл» через центральный узел был перестыкован на правый («-Z»), чтобы освободить нижний узел для модуля «Спектр». Во время этой процедуры манипулятор модуля совершил 2 перестыковки (с нижнего узла на центральный и с центрального на правый), между которыми космонавты произвели перенос бокового стыковочного конуса. 1 июня 1995 года к станции причалил модуль «Спектр», который 2 июня был перестыкован на нижний узел.

Манипулятор «Спектра» был существенно доработан по сравнению с предыдущими модулями, чтобы обеспечить движение по сложной траектории, исключающей при перестыковке касание «Кристалла» панелями солнечных батарей «Спектра». Конструкция манипулятора и логика управления им были изменены так, чтобы обеспечить повороты шарниров в двух плоскостях одновременно. 10 июня 1995 года модуль «Кристалл», на котором был установлен стыковочный узел АПАС, снова был перестыкован на центральный узел, чтобы обеспечить безопасное причаливание «шаттла» «Атлантис» (миссия STS-71). Произвести причаливание «Атлантиса» к «Кристаллу» при размещение модуля на боковом узле было невозможно из-за риска повредить конструкции станции. После завершения совместного полёта с «Атлантисом» модуль «Кристалл» был возвращен на правый боковой стыковочный узел. Чтобы избежать следующих перестыковок для модуля «Кристалл» был изготовлен дополнительный стыковочный отсек, обеспечивающий безопасное причаливание «шаттлов» при нахождении на боковом стыковочном узле. Этот отсек был доставлен на станцию «Атлантисом» в миссии STS-74. 26 апреля 1996 года к станции причалил модуль «Природа» и 27 апреля был перестыкован на левый боковой узел («+Z»). В такой конфигурации станция работала до конца своего существования. Всего модулями было произведено 8 перестыковок, из них 5 — «Кристаллом» и по одной тремя остальными.

Аналогичные системы

На китайской космической станции «Тяньгун» для перестыковки экспериментальных модулей «Вэньтянь» и «Мэнтянь» на боковые стыковочные узлы базового блока «Тяньхэ» используется система, аналогичная АСПр станции «Мир», с манипуляторами, установленными на торцах перестыковываемых модулей. Впервые китайская «Ляппа» была применена 30 сентября 2022 года.

При установке на МКС модулей, доставляемых космическими кораблями «Спейс шаттл», использовался манипулятор «Канадарм», установленный на борту «шаттлов». Для причаливания к МКС беспилотных грузовых нерусских кораблей используется манипулятор «Канадарм2», установленный на самой станции и предназначенный для различных работ по её обслуживанию. C помощью «Канадарм2» осуществлялась стыковка с МКС первой версии SpaceX «Dragon», таким же образом стыкуются корабли «Cygnus» и «HTV».

Также, аналогичная АСПр система перестыковки с осевого порта на радиальные имеется на российском модуле «Причал» Международной космической станции.

Georgia Tech Student's Microchip Startup Reduces Energy Waste, Amplifies Power Systems in 5G Space
December 27, 2021 | Georgia Tech
In 2015, Edgar Garay sent an email to a Georgia Tech professor asking to join his lab.
"I want to go to your lab because I want to improve the efficiency of power amplifiers," Garay wrote in his email to Hua Wang, Garay's advisor and director of the Electronics and Micro-System Lab in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
That email set Garay, a Ph.D. candidate, on path of research and discovery that led him to launch his own startup, Falcomm. Founded on his doctoral research in Wang's lab, Garay's company is a microchip design startup focused on improving energy efficiency. Its ultra-efficient, silicon-based power amplifiers and front-end modules (FEM will be used in 5G technology, the fifth-generation global wireless standard for machines, objects, and devices.
Garay's work specifically focuses on issues related to thermal management challenges in 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, which refers to super-high frequency bands for transmission of data and information.
"Our mission with our fabless semiconductor design is to provide the most energy efficient power amplifier products for hardware manufacturers in the 5G millimeter wave market," Garay said.
"Last year alone, cell phone base station operators paid around $80 billion in electricity. Most of it is wasted in heat, because of the lack of efficiency in the hardware that they use," Garay said. "We came up with this extremely novel power amplifier for the 5G mmWave."
Wireless carriers could cut that energy waste, boost the speed of data transmission, and how much data can be moved at any one time.
"So, instead of your movie taking 30 seconds to download or a minute, now you can download it in half a second," Garay said.
It also means carriers can increase the number of users on their networks, he said. By moving to higher frequencies on the 5G mmWave, people in a packed stadium for a sporting event or concert, will be able to make phone calls or even stream at the same time.
"The ultra-efficient, Dual-drive Power Amplifier technology system we created will allow people with mobile-connected devices to spend less time looking for chargers and allow large companies to lower their electricity bills by billions of dollars," Garay said.
To get to this point, Garay worked with VentureLab, a program that works with faculty and graduate students to help them commercialize Georgia Tech research and intellectual property.
VentureLab along with CREATE-X are part of a broader Georgia Tech strategy to foster and encourage entrepreneurial confidence in students and faculty and expand the research-to-commercialized startup pipeline.
CREATE-X works with undergraduate and graduate students launching their own startups that are typically not based on Georgia Tech intellectual property.
While every student or faculty member won't end up running their own startups, taking them through the entrepreneurial journey will help them regardless of what they in their professional careers, said Raghupathy Sivakumar, Georgia Tech's vice president of Commercialization and chief commercialization officer.
The strategy also helps support another goal: boost the number of startups in the marketplace that are based on Georgia Tech research, he said.
"Out of the 60 licenses we did last year, approximately 10% went to startups," Sivakumar said. "We have good relationships with business and industry that license our technologies, but we have room to grow in our startup efforts."
Silicon Valley Interest
Garay's startup has now attracted interest and support from Berkeley SkyDeck, a high-tech entrepreneurship startup accelerator at the University of California, Berkeley.
The highly competitive SkyDeck program reviews thousands of applications from startup founders around the world but accepts only about 1% of those into its portfolio, said Chon Tang, founding partner of the UC Berkeley SkyDeck Fund.
The Skydeck Accelerator is a bridge between technology in the lab and helping those founders get to a stage where their startups are attractive to investors in Silicon Valley, Tang said.
"We're looking for companies with a real, distinctive, technical edge," he said, adding that while Falcomm is in the formation stage and on the early side of the companies SkyDeck accepts, Garay exhibited some compelling qualities.
"With Edgar, he's certainly someone who knew the technology very well," Tang said, explaining that acceptance into SkyDeck also comes with a $105,000 investment in Falcomm. Being accepted into SkyDeck gives the company access to UC Berkeley's vast network of alumni and mentors. The company also has free access to software licenses for a year needed to design the chips.
Garay, who has a provisional patent and plans to file for a non-provisional patent, pitched and presented to potential investors in San Francisco, California as part of a SkyDeck demo day in September.
That Falcomm is an early-stage startup and was accepted into SkyDeck, which typically takes later-stage companies, speaks to caliber of research being done at Tech, Sivakumar said.
"We see SkyDeck as a super exclusive venture firm for later-stage companies, but we at CREATE-X and VentureLab see ourselves as acting as the initial spark to get faculty and students going," Sivakumar said. "This speaks to why it's a priority for us to help researchers pursue commercialization. I am not surprised that Edgar got in so easily at Skydeck; we just need to encourage and nurture more students and faculty to see commercialization as an option to pursue."
What made the impression with SkyDeck officials was Garay's drive.
"We were impressed by his attitude and his hustle," Tang said. "Although he doesn't have industry experience, he demonstrated enough energy and ability that we felt confident that he could move this to the next stage."
Beyond mobile devices, Garay said many industries can benefit from the technology.
"It's applicable to any industry where everybody's trying to get more energy efficiency out of the hardware," he said. That includes the cell phone market, the Internet of Things, and even automotive radar.
"Six years ago, I decided to come here to Georgia Tech to work on chips and develop technology that I thought was really cool," Garay said. "I've always been super passionate about developing cool technology that can make a real impact in the world."
That sentiment is exactly why Georgia Tech is so focused on encouraging entrepreneurial interest in students and faculty, Sivakumar said.
"Edgar's success is reflective of a broader change we are seeing in academia, where schools have moved from being purely teaching institutes to becoming discovery institutes," Sivakumar said. "Now, we are impact centers of higher learning, creating impact through the knowledge and research that we do, and bringing it to the marketplace."
My View from CES 2021: Day 1
01/12/2021 | Dan Feinberg, Technology Editor, I-Connect007
What a difference a year makes. One year ago, those of us who cover and attend CES were going from one press conference to the next; this year, we are at home going from link to link. Confusing and challenging, yes, but there are some advantages: no masks, only five steps to get to a restroom, being able to have three of four events or more displaying on your screens at the same time and being able to download press kits as needed. So far, many new devices are being introduced, but of course, they are all online, so you wonder if some of them really exist or are truly operational as yet.
CES 2021: Just How Different Will It Be?
01/11/2021 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007
CES 2021 starts today and this year there is no need for an overpriced hotel room in Vegas, no long lines to get a taxi or board a bus, and no crowded exhibit halls (one good thing this year). On the other hand, you must decide ahead of time what you want to see and make a reservation or appointment if you wish to have time and access assured.
CES 2020: The Intelligence of Things
01/06/2020 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007
Show week for CES 2020 starts well ahead of the actual exhibition dates because it is huge. The organizers of CES state that there are more than 4,400 exhibiting companies and nearly three million net square feet of exhibit space. On the floor, you can find 307 of the 2018 Fortune Global 500 companies. Over the week, I-Connect007 Editors Dan Feinberg and Nolan Johnson will bring you some of the most interesting news, products, and announcements from 5G to IoT, semiconductor developments, autonomous vehicle technology, interconnect, fabrication materials, and much more.


During a Q&A panel at PAX Australia 2015, Naughty Dog has provided a ton of information on the upcoming Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
The developer's community strategist Arne Meyer was on hand to present exclusive gameplay footage and answer fan questions on the series as a whole. While many fan questions concerned the upcoming game's single player mode and had already been answered in the past, a fair number focused on its multiplayer element – with Meyer revealing a few tidbits new information in the process.
"The multiplayer team plays all sorts of different games, because we've been trying to do our research from what everyone else is doing, and try to use that as a guide for what we want to experiment with. Without a doubt, there are a lot of people at the studio – myself included – who have been playing Destiny for a long time.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is scheduled to release exclusively for PS4 on March 18, 2016. Its multiplayer beta will be available for ten days from December 4.

Kamala Harris delivers an optimistic message at the Democratic convention
By Jack on 20/08/2020
Sen. Kamala Harris formally accepted her Democratic vice presidential nomination in a virtual speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday evening.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced Harris as his running mate earlier this month, making history as the first Black and Asian-American woman on a major party ticket.
Trump and his Republican allies have gone full steam ahead to attack Harris, peddling baseless birther theories, similar to those launched at former President Barack Obama.
Sen. Kamala Harris delivered an optimistic call for unity and action as she formally accepted the Democratic vice presidential nomination during the Democratic convention on Wednesday night.
Harris told the story of her upbringing in Oakland, California and focused on her mother, an Indian immigrant and scientist, who raised Harris and her sister largely on her own.
"Even as she taught us to keep our family at the center of our world, she also pushed us to see a world beyond ourselves," Harris said of her mother, who died of cancer in 2009. ″[I am] committed to the values [my mother] taught me, to the word that teaches me to walk by faith, and not by sight, and to a vision passed on through generations of Americans—one that Joe Biden shares. A vision of our nation as a beloved community–where all are welcome, no matter what we look like, where we come from, or who we love."
She also touched on her record of fighting crime as a prosecutor, suggesting the president is just another "predator" she's ready to take on.
"I've fought for children, and survivors of sexual assault. I've fought against transnational gangs," she said. "I took on the biggest banks and helped take down one of the biggest for-profit colleges. I know a predator when I see one."
The speech offered Harris the largest national audience she's had. She presented virtually on Wednesday evening from Biden's hometown, Wilmington, Delaware, where she's attended campaign events in recent days.
Harris made history as the first Black and Asian-American woman to land a major party nomination. The pick has added to her series of firsts, including being the first Black woman to serve as attorney general of her home state of California.
She began her speech on Wednesday by paying tribute to the women who fought for the 19th Amendment, which was ratified 100 years ago this week, and the ongoing fight for enfranchisement.
She didn't dwell for long on President Donald Trump, but briefly painted him as a failed leader.
"Right now, we have a president who turns our tragedies into political weapons," Harris said. "Joe will be a president who turns our challenges into purpose."
Harris has been heavily critical of Trump, both in her role as a US senator since 2017 and on the campaign trail.
"We're at an inflection point. The constant chaos leaves us adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. It's a lot," Harris said on Wednesday. "Here's the thing: We can do better and deserve so much more."
Trump and his Republican allies, including Vice President Mike Pence, who is due to debate Harris in October, have been on the offense since she secured the nomination.
Trump has attacked the senator, calling her "nasty" and promoting a baseless "birther" lie that Harris isn't a US citizen because of her immigrant parents. Harris was born in California and is indisputably a citizen.
"They're going to engage in an attempt to distract from the real issues that are impacting the American people. And I expect that they will engage in dirty tactics. And this is going to be a knockdown, drag-out. And we're ready," Harris previously told TheGrio about the attacks.
The senator also indirectly addressed the racist attack again on Wednesday night, noting that her mother "gave birth to me at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, California."
Harris joined a slew of prominent Democrats speaking at the convention on Wednesday evening, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and former President Barack Obama.
She closed the night's events after Obama reportedly insisted that she conclude the events as a way for him to symbolically "pass the torch."

With 400 agents, the Seattle-based company was a little bigger than its sister brokerage in Portland, which was a few agents shy of 350. The combined company, which closed nearly $2.2 billion in sales in 2014, will serve not only the Seattle and Portland metro areas, but Central Oregon, the Yamhill County wine region and Oregon's coastal communities.
When HomeServices of America acquired the Portland brokerage in 2012, it had nearly 500 agents who were affiliated with the Prudential Real Estate brand. Less than two months after entering the Pacific Northwest market with its acquisition of Portland-based Prudential Northwest Properties, HomeServices of America expanded its footprint by buying Seattle-based Prudential Northwest Realty Associates.
HomeServices of America ended up owning the Prudential Real Estate brand, too, and has been transitioning Prudential Real Estate affiliates to Warren Buffett's new franchise brand, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

Speaking to some of the million people marching for another Brexit vote
The Put it to the People march took over London streets with demonstrators from across the UK and Europe
The Put it to the People march, London31
"We're marching because Brexit is toxic," says 18-year-old Zoe and Ania. On Saturday (March 23), a reported one million people gathered to march through central London, calling for a second referendum on Brexit.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters swarmed the streets, beginning at Park Lane before culminating in a rally at Parliament Square at midday. A huge banner across Westminster Bridge was unfurled that read 'Love socialism, hate Brexit'. The numbers of people – organisers of Put it to the People have estimated it at one million – puts the protest at the same size as the biggest march of the century, 2003's Stop the War protest.
The day saw protesters of all ages, genders and backgrounds gather together from across the UK, the EU and beyond. A sea of people was dappled with the blue and yellow colours of the EU, with people dancing, playing the drums and music, displaying broad spectrum of DIY placards and signs. Some were on the humorous side – an 'Everything is fine' burning house meme makes an appearance, as well as a Marie Kondo reference – while others were serious: 'Brexit is treason' read one, while others zoned in on the spike in hate crimes since the vote.
"We are marching for our rights to stay here after Brexit and to revoke Article 50," Josephine and Vincent told Dazed, a French couple who live in London.

"I'm marching because this is the most important thing that's happened in a generation. We're better together and we're better in Europe," Sophia from Reading added.
19-year-old William from Chelmsford also told Dazed: "I was too young to vote in the last Brexit referendum, so I'm here to be included this time".
Rhys Brown, a 20-year-old student from the University of Kent and a member of the Canterbury Young Europeans society said: "I came to London today along with two coach loads of students for this march. We're here because the first referendum was illegal, and to say that it's okay for people to change their minds."
"This march is important - we've reached a critical time now and it's clear that people don't want Brexit and we're showing it on this march"
"I'm marching because if Brexit happens, it will ruin my future and everyone else's," 11-year-old Sophie from Sheffield asserted.
Multiple MPs from across the UK parties stood with demonstrators and gave speeches in support of a second vote. Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon told crowds that prime minister Theresa May had pitched "parliament against the people". "Let the people speak," she demanded, before asking that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn back another referendum.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was also present and spoke onstage. He told the crowd he was a "proud European", calling for the time to withdraw Article 50.
"No matter how you voted in the referendum, no matter what political party you support, we can all agree that Brexit has been a complete and utter mess," Khan said. "With days to go we're in danger of falling of the cliff, which will have catastrophic consequences."
News about Brexit continues to waver and lurch – just today (March 25), it emerged that May was expected to update ministers on her current Brexit strategy in a cabinet meeting. Across the weekend there have been multiple calls for her resignation and speculation about her position, and what that would mean for a deal. May's deal has been rejected by MPs in the Commons twice. The EU is reportedly preparing for a no-deal. Last week, May had to ask the EU for an extension on Article 50 – which is a five-point plan to remove a country from the EU – as talks continued.
The number of signatures on a record-breaking online petition calling for Brexit to be cancelled continues to rise, currently hitting more than four million.

France honors attack victims in city subdued by mourning
Intoning the names of 130 dead, a subdued France paid homage Friday to those killed two weeks ago

Paris — A subdued France paid homage Friday to those killed two weeks ago in the attacks that gripped Paris in fear and mourning, honoring each of the 130 dead by name as the president pledged to "destroy the army of fanatics" who claimed so many young lives.
With each name and age read aloud inside the Invalides national monument, the toll gained new force. Most, as French President Francois Hollande noted, were younger than 35, killed while enjoying a mild Friday night of music, food, drinks or sports. The youngest was 17. The oldest, 68.
Meanwhile, in Belgium, authorities charged a man with "terrorist attacks" as investigators worked to hone in on culprits. The federal prosecutor's office said the man was arrested a day earlier in Brussels and was "charged with terrorist attacks and taking part in the activities of a terrorist group." He was not identified and it was not immediately clear if he was one of two fugitives authorities have been seeking.
France's somber homage to the victims bespoke the horrors of Nov. 13.
Throughout Paris, French flags fluttered in windows and on buses in uncharacteristic displays of patriotism in response to Paris' second deadly terror attack this year. But the mood was grim, and the locked-down ceremony at the Invalides national monument lacked the defiance of January, when a million people poured through the streets to honor those killed by Islamic extremist gunmen.
Hollande, who in January locked arms with world leaders in a show of global unity against terrorism, sat alone in a hard-backed chair in the cavernous Invalides courtyard, the assembled mourners behind him as victims' names were recited. France's military provided the only images of Friday's ceremony, and no one without an invitation was permitted inside.
The night of Nov. 13, three teams of suicide bombers and gunmen struck across Paris, beginning at the national stadium — where Hollande was among the spectators — and ending in the storming of the Bataclan concert venue. In all, 130 people died and hundreds were injured. The crowd at the stadium shakily sang France's national anthem as they filed outside that night; a military band played the Marseillaise again on Friday, lingering slightly on the refrain: "Aux armes, citoyens!"
The courtyard went silent after the reading of the names finished, broken finally by a mournful cello. Hollande stared straight ahead, before finally rising to speak.
"To all of you, I solemnly promise that France will do everything to destroy the army of fanatics who committed these crimes," Hollande said.
The speech was dedicated above all to the dead and France's young.
"The ordeal has scarred us all, but it will make us stronger. I have confidence in the generation to come. Generations before have also had their identity forged in the flower of youth. The attack of Nov. 13 will remain in the memory of today's youth as a terrible initiation in the hardness of the world. But also as an invitation to combat it by creating a new commitment," he said.
Hollande noted that many of the dead, especially those at the Eagles of Death Metal show at the Bataclan, had careers in music — a music he said the attackers found intolerable.
"It was this harmony that they wanted to break, shatter. It was this joy that they wanted to bury with the blast of their bombs. Well, they will not stop it. We will multiply the songs, the concerts, the shows. We will keep going to the stadiums, and especially our beloved national stadium in Saint-Denis. We will participate in sports gatherings great and small," Hollande said.
"And we will commune in the best of emotions, without being troubled by our differences, our origins, our colors, our convictions, our beliefs, our religions. Because we are a single and unified nation, with the same values."
Hollande's voice and the music — including the French classic with the line "When we have only love to speak to the cannons" — were the only sounds inside the Invalides, filled by hundreds of people.
"The emotion was reflected mostly by silence from the beginning to the end of the ceremony," said Catherine Orsenne, who was injured in the stadium attacks. "The silence was everywhere and you could hear a pin drop."
Hollande imposed a national state of emergency hours after the attacks, allowing wide extrajudicial powers including warrantless searches and house arrest. The government said it was temporarily pulling out of the European Convention on Human Rights, and some activists have expressed concerns about indiscriminate police roundups.
Paris' administrative court ruled against two men on Friday — one of whom was convicted of sending jihadis to Mali — who had contested their house arrest. Both are linked to past and present radical activities.
Two named fugitives are wanted in connection the Nov. 13 attacks — Salah Abdeslam, whose brother was among the suicide bombers and who is believed to have fled for Belgium that night, and Mohamed Abrini, whose role has never been made clear. Seven attackers died on Nov. 13. Five days later, the Belgian suspected of planning the attacks, his female cousin and another unidentified man were killed in a police raid near the national stadium. The Paris prosecutor said the mastermind, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, planned another imminent suicide attack in the city's main business district.
