When thinking about writing as analogous to musical expression, rich, nuanced, multi-tonal instruments like the piano and the narrative voice of the guitar come to mind. Each of us has a litany of memories connected to those sounds, and just like potent writing can call us to righteous action or turn us into emotional, bumbling dolts, each of us can tap into reservoir of powerful feeling associated perhaps with the the piano or guitar.
However, let me take this opportunity to appeal to the piano's weirder, higher, smaller (but just as expressive) cousin: the celesta. The tinkering, ethereal noise created by its keys striking internal steel plates (as opposed to piano's suppler and more resonant strings) is one most probably immediately associate with Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." The composer was among the first few to use the instrument. Céleste means "heavenly" in French.
While the rich, operatic scale of the piano with its full seven octaves and three pedals for added expressivity calls to mind the masterful writers of the Western cannon, brooding exquisitely and pondering existential questions, scooping up Pulitzer Prizes and thrilling English majors world-wide, my own writing process is clearly on much less of a grand and portentous (as well as dignified) scale.
It's even played by Iggy Pop himself on Raw Power's "Penetration," which is about as far as you can get from another classic celesta sound: the opening bars to "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" from Mr. Rogers.
Perhaps this is what I'd like to think is most parallel between my own writing and the celesta (what is the point of making a comparison about yourself if not for an ultimately flattering reflection): it has singularity of voice. In a world so besotted with pianos, all vying for bravado, importance, and grandeur, the celesta offers humor and wit along with its variety, which is really the best I can aim for as a writer myself.
My goodness what a fun and thoughtful piece of writing. I love this piece!

Q: Precision Time Protocol (PTP) software mode setup, with main computer as master clock I have a Jetson Nano and an ethernet-connected sensor (specifically, a LiDAR that supports PTP) that I'd like to set up PTP synchronisation between, and I'm kind of confused by the documentation (I'm mainly trying to follow the guide at https://static.ouster.dev/sensor-docs/image_route1/image_route2/appendix/ptp-quickstart.html). I'd like to force the Jetson Nano system clock to be the 'master' clock. On the Jetson Nano, the ethernet port that the sensor is connected on does not seem to support hardware timestamping:
$ sudo ethtool -T eth0
Time stamping parameters for eth0:
Capabilities:
        software-transmit     (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE)
        software-receive      (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE)
        software-system-clock (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE)
PTP Hardware Clock: none
Hardware Transmit Timestamp Modes: none
Hardware Receive Filter Modes: none

so I tried to set up the PTP server in software mode.
My setup steps were:
sudo apt install linuxptp chrony ethtool

sudo nano /etc/linuxptp/ptp4l.conf
# set `priority1` and `priority2` to `0` so that the Jetson Nano system clock is always the master? Is this correct?
# set `time_stamping` to `software`
# set `free_running` to `1` so that the Jetson system clock is not modified

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart ptp4l

Is this the right way to set up the PTP server to use the Jetson system clock as the master clock? What is the use of phc2sys?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Camille Grammer vs. the Entire Cast
By Author pauldailly at Jun 26, 2019 • Category Camille Grammer
Tuesday's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was one for the books.
We picked up in the immediate aftermath of that fight between Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, and Erika Jayne.
Lisa Rinna urged the three ladies to put this behind them before they returned to Beverly Hills, and they did just that.

But allow us to pose this question:
What the eff happened to Lisa Rinna? At one point, she would stir the pot, all the while throwing her friends under the bus.
Nowadays, she's trying to nip the drama in the bud. Now that she's the only Lisa in the cast, she seems to want to be a better person.
Back in Beverly Hills, Dorit unveiled her Beverly Beach by Dorit clothing, and the ladies were mostly impressed.
"Genius!" Rinna shouted, but Camille was not ready to throw a compliment at the one who caused PuppyGate.
"Genius?" Camille laughed to the camera, "Her reveal was a garbage bag."
Dorit, to the surprise of everyone chatted about LVP, and Camille admitted that she had not spoken to her.
Camille then chatted about her wedding.
"She should've come," Camille said. "She should've come."
The real Lisa Rinna then came out to play. There's something about her that hates anyone else called Lisa.
But you let her off the hook. You shouldn't have let her off the hook so easily, but you did let her off the hook."
"Well, I guess I was weak then," a stunned Camille replied.
Denise tried to defend Camille, saying that it was not fair to bring this crap up when she had just lost her house.
Kyle then chimed in, bringing up the fact that Camille seemed against Lisa, despite sharing nothing but compliments about her to a gossip website.
"It was like bad timing," said Lisa.
"It was as we were pulling out [of brunch with you in Hawaii], and we're like reading the article. It was kind of like, 'Ah!'"
"With Camille, there is no middle ground," Kyle later told the camera. "She will either say whatever it is to appease you, or she'll come at you with a dagger."
Teddi, who has been like Kyle's shadow of late, echoed those sentiments.
"I'm sure you've said stuff about me. Or maybe you haven't. I don't know," Camille said to Teddi, who replied, "Everything I've said, I've said to your face — that you flip-flop and you speak out of both sides of your mouth."
"Okay, there you go," Camille shot back. "So I'm a flip-flopper, and you're a know-it-all."
Dorit then stepped into the ring, saying that Lisa Rinna had told her everything about what Grammer said about her.

Yeah, we take back what we said about Rinna at the top of the article.
"It was before my 50th," Camille said, expounding as follows:
"I had to get to know you. I didn't trust you, I didn't. Dorit, I didn't. I didn't know where you were getting all this money from."
"What do you mean? Where I was getting all what money from?" Dorit asked as with a look on her face like someone had just passed gas in her presence. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, I talked to — it's true," Camille replied with a grin. "Your husband was telling me how he filed for bankruptcy."
"And I was just like, 'Wow, where does she get these fancy cars, these Bentleys she's driving around, all these diamonds, your makeup, your glam, your clothes are outstanding, they're beautiful, I've always said that," Camille went on.
"My husband built a $2 billion business from zero," a pissed off Dorit fired back.
"Let me finish. Let me clear it up for you. In 2008, his business went bust. He claimed bankruptcy, much like many, many successful men."
"What does that have to do with today?! This was ten years ago! What are you talking about?!" she added.
Camille replied, "Your husband owes out a lot of money to somebody very, very closer to me."
Dorit tried to act like she didn't know.
"Oh, puh-lease," she snarled, but Camille was not ready to give in.
"No, it's true. No, it's true."
"This crosses a line," Denise said, trying to shut Camille up.
"You can give me whatever you want, Camille," Dorit said, before Camille interrupted, "You don't want me to. You don't want me to."
"Don't you dare threaten me, sweetheart," Dorit fired back, but Camille claimed she was protecting Dorit.
"You're protecting me?!" Dorit shouted. "You're a little snake! That's what you are. You wanna go low? We'll go low." Camille remained firm that she was only protecting her friend.
"Oh, f–k off, Camille," she screamed.
"I know your husband owes over $1 million to a company," she said. "It's bad. There's lawyers involved, too."
"Don't say anything else," Teddi said to Camille, while Denise said she went "below the f–king belt."
Oh damn.

"We will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds," wrote US President Donald Trump on Twitter on Sunday. It came after his shock decision in December to withdraw 2,000 American troops from Syria, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's threat to "crush" US-backed Kurdish forces in the country. Mr Trump's declared commitment to protect a group that has bravely defended civilians from ISIS is welcome. But at a deeper level, it speaks to the type of president he has become. While some of his predecessors have favoured diplomacy or military force, economic sanctions have become Mr Trump's foreign policy weapon of choice. And while they are a useful middle ground between weapons and words, economic measures are not always as effective as Mr Trump might suggest.
In 2017 alone, the US Treasury sanctioned a record 944 foreign individuals, organisations and companies. In a single month last year, they hit Colombia, Pakistan, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and the Philippines. And on Sunday, as Mr Trump threatened Ankara with economic devastation, his ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, warned that European companies could face financial penalties for their investment in the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Similar threats were issued to EU companies operating in Iran. Today, no one is safe from the possibility of US sanctions, sparking consternation in European capitals.
When it comes to regimes that wilfully flout diplomatic norms, such as Iran and North Korea, sanctions are the only way to bring their leaders to bear. But they do not work in isolation and must instead be enforced multilaterally. In a statement of political and economic intent, China and Russia have vowed to continue purchasing Iranian oil, taking the teeth out of Mr Trump's measures. Meanwhile, other players in global trade, like Gulf states and European companies, can suffer economically from sanctions on Iranian exports. Ultimately, Mr Trump's unilateral sanctions and harsh tariffs – like those imposed on Chinese imports last year – serve to harden anti-US feeling. A penalised Beijing is less likely to assist the US in its dealings with Iran and North Korea. Equally, a sour Mr Erdogan is more likely to ignore American concerns over Syria.
It is worth noting that sanctions often hit vulnerable citizens and leave their dictatorial leaders unscathed, as the crippling sanctions imposed on Iraq after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 attest.
Mr Trump's fondness for economic penalties reflect the former real estate developer in him and his overwhelmingly transactional view of the world. But while steps from his administration to protect the Kurds in northern Syria, rein in the worst excesses of Tehran's destabilising regime and bring North Korea to the table are welcome, Mr Trump would be wise to take a more considered approach to his frequent and hasty deployment of economic sanctions.

James Webb Space Telescope getting closer to launch
news-hubBy OGL News October 9, 2020
The multi-billion dollar successor of the Hubble telescope, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, has completed a couple of crucial tests and is closer to its shipment to French Guiana for launch, NASA said. "With the completion of its latest series of milestone tests, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has now survived all of the harsh conditions associated with a rocket launch to space," the U.S. space agency said.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's largest, most powerful, and complex space science telescope ever built; the program – named after the second NASA Administrator in the sixties – is led by NASA, along with its partners ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency. "Webb is NASA's next great space science observatory, which will help in solving the mysteries of our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mystifying structures and origins of our universe," NASA said.
U.S. Transportation Command to study use of SpaceX rockets to move cargo around the world
The U.S. military command that oversees logistics operations has signed an agreement with SpaceX and XArc to study the use of space launch vehicles to transport supplies in an emergency. Army Gen. Stephen Lyons, commander of U.S. Transportation Command, announced the agreement Oct. 7 at a National Defense Transportation Association virtual conference. "Think about moving the equivalent of a C-17 payload anywhere on the globe in less than an hour," Lyons said. The C-17 is a very large military cargo plane capable of transporting a 70-ton main battle tank.
Transportation Command has signed a cooperative research and development agreement, known as CRADA, with SpaceX and Exploration Architecture Corporation (XArc) to study concepts for rapid transportation through space. "There is a lot of potential here," said Lyons He noted that one of the challenges of military logistics is the "tyranny of distance and time, and global access." Space transportation is weight- and volume-constrained compared to airlift, and has limited options for launching and recovery operations. "As industry advances to overcome these challenges and decrease costs, a space transportation capability to put a crucial cargo quickly on target at considerable distances makes it an attractive alternative," said U.S. TRANSCOM Deputy Commander Vice Adm. Dee Mewbourne.
'Self-eating rocket' tech snags funding from UK government
The U.K. government aims to spur the development of rockets that gobble themselves up on the way to orbit. The Ministry of Defence's Defence & Security Accelerator (DASA) has pledged £90,000 — about $117,000 USD at current exchange rates — for the continued development of the "autophage" rocket engine, which is being built by researchers at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. The tech is a great fit for small rockets "because scaling down a rocket reduces the mass of the propellant more than it reduces the mass of all the other components, including the tanks that hold the propellant itself," Patrick Harkness, of the University of Glasgow's James Watt School of Engineering, said in a statement. "The autophage concept is simple: burn the tanks as well," Harkess said. "That saves the excess mass, and it means that we can miniaturize the vehicle without hitting this wall."
The Glasgow team has already test-fired a version of the autophage engine that burns all-solid propellant. The DASA money will help fund research into the use of a more energy-rich hybrid propellant, team members said. "The body of a hybrid autophage rocket will be a tube of solid fuel, containing a liquid oxidizer," Harkess said. "The entire assembly will be consumed, from the bottom up, by an engine which will vaporize the fuel tube, add the oxidizer and burn the mixture to create thrust. The engine will have consumed the entire body of the rocket by the time the assembly reaches orbit, and only the payload will be left. It is a much more mass-efficient process." The hybrid engine will be test-fired next year, at Kingston University in London, if all goes according to plan.
Saturn's chaotic moon Titan may be a lot younger than we thought
Saturn is a busy planet. The gas giant is known for its mysterious rings made up of comets, asteroids and broken rocky objects, and has the largest number of moons of any other planet in the Solar System, beating Jupiter by three more moons. Saturn's many moons are believed to have formed around the same time as the Solar System, at least 4 billion years ago. However, a new model suggests that the orbiting moons may be a lot younger than previously thought, with some forming only a couple of million years ago.
A study, published recently in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets, has major implications for our understanding of Saturn's moon Titan and its chaotic, liquid-filled terrain. Samuel Bell, a research scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, and lead author of the new study, looked at the rate of impact on the different moons that orbit Saturn in order to develop a new chronology for the natural satellites. When looking at the impact craters on Saturn's moons to help estimate their age, previous models had assumed that the impacts were a result of comets orbiting around the Sun. But there is an increased amount of evidence that the craters were formed from objects orbiting Saturn itself, smaller moonlets that are too small to detect with current telescopes. The new chronology for Saturn's moons suggests that Titan is a much younger moon than previously believed, shaving off a few million years of its life. "The surface of Titan is younger than its neighbouring moons, it could in fact be way younger," Bell says. "It may be around 15 million years, which is a very young, active, kind of environment."
See a rare Earth-grazer meteoroid skim us and 'bounce' back into space
A chunk of space rock spectacularly survived a close encounter with Earth. Little pieces of asteroids and comets come at Earth all the time. Some of them pass on by. Some of them burn up in the atmosphere, creating bright fireball streaks across the sky. And, every once in a while, a fragment comes in close and then escapes. These are known as "Earth-grazers." Meteoroid is the term used for a small body that travels through space. If it reaches Earth's atmosphere and turns into a "shooting star," then it's a meteor. If a leftover piece of it survives all the way to the ground, then it's a meteorite. "This is only the fifth documented Earth-grazer of this size," Vida told CNET in an email. "There are probably more because not all observations are published, but they are significantly more uncommon than ordinary meteors."
The Global Meteor Network, a network of sky watching cameras, spotted a rare Earth-grazer meteoroid and captured its elegant movement in a dramatic GIF. It shows the meteoroid arcing through the night sky over northern Germany and the Netherlands on Sept. 22 before "bouncing" back into space. The European Space Agency highlighted the dazzling footage in a statement last week. "The network is basically a decentralized scientific instrument, made up of amateur astronomers and citizen scientists around the planet each with their own camera systems," Global Meteor Network founder Denis Vida told ESA.
World Space Week: Satellites Improve Life
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, there are safe and exciting ways to celebrate World Space Week this year, running from Sunday 4th October to Saturday 10th October. One way is to observe satellites. The World Space Week 2020 theme, Satellites Improve Life, encourages students and the public to learn about satellites and the many ways they improve life on Earth. A first step is to simply observe satellites from your backyard. If you can see stars from where you live, you can probably see some satellites. Observing satellites is simple. After sunset when the sky is dark, go outside and turn off any outdoor lights. Let your eyes adjust to the darkness. Look at the stars. You can easily tell a satellite from a star because the satellite is moving slowly. Sometimes it may appear to blink because it is rotating. Satellites will move across the sky from horizon to horizon. You can see satellites in the early evening because, although it is dark where you are standing, there is still sunlight above you in low-Earth orbit (LEO). You can see LEO satellites because they reflect light from the sun to your eyes. On a typical evening with dark skies, you can easily see several satellites. This technique also works just before dawn.

Small air leak on space station traced to Russian service module but the exact location remains unknown
The case of the small air leak on the International Space Station may be nearly cracked. Investigators have traced the source of the leak to the "main work area" of the Zvezda Service Module, the heart of the Russian part of the station, NASA officials announced today (Sept. 29). "Additional work is underway to precisely locate the source of the leak," agency officials wrote in an update today. "The leak, which has been investigated for several weeks, poses no immediate danger to the crew at the current leak rate and only a slight deviation to the crew's schedule." The leak is causing an atmospheric pressure decrease of 1 millimetre every 8 hours, officials with Roscosmos, the Russian federal space agency, said via Twitter this morning. They also stressed that NASA's Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner, who have been living onboard the orbiting lab, remain safe.
The International Space Station is not completely airtight. The orbiting complex continuously loses tiny amounts of gas to space and is regularly repressurized using nitrogen tanks brought up by cargo spacecraft. In September 2019, station managers noticed a slight uptick in that normal background rate. It took a while to characterize the leak fully, because crewmembers and station managers were occupied with spacewalks, spacecraft arrivals and departures, and other big-ticket orbital activities, NASA officials have said. The leak investigation didn't really get going until last month.
NASA launching new space toilet and more to space station this week
news-hubBy OGL News September 28, 2020
A private cargo spacecraft will lift off from Virginia on Tuesday (Sept. 29). The mission, known as Cygnus NG-14, will be deliver 7,624 lbs (3,458 kilograms) of cargo on the14th flight for Northrop Grumman's robotic Cygnus spacecraft and the resupply craft's 13th mission to the International Space Station. Cygnus will launch atop an Antares rocket Sept. 29 at 10:27 p.m. EDT (0227 a.m. GMT Sept. 30) from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Northrop Grumman has named the Cygnus spacecraft the S.S. Kalpana Chawla to honour astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who was one of seven astronauts who died in the Columbia shuttle tragedy in 2003.
The spacecraft will be carrying tons of fresh supplies to the International Space Station, including scientific experiments, skincare and a brand-new space toilet. The $23 million space toilet, which was created with astronaut input, will be among the important experiments and equipment sent with this launch. This toilet is 65% smaller and 40% lighter than the toilet currently on the space station, NASA officials said. The cargo will also include a radish-growing experiment known as Plant Habitat-02; the Onco Selectors investigation, which will focus on cancer therapies; a novel water recovery system experiment; a specialized camera that will capture what it's like to be aboard the space station in 360-degree virtual reality; bottles of skincare serum from Estée Lauder; and much more.
NASA details Artemis program plan to land on the Moon in 2024
NASA has revealed details of its accelerated Artemis mission plan to land humans on the Moon in 2024, more than 50 years after the last Apollo lunar mission in 1972. The U.S. space agency's plan specifies key milestones for building, testing and launching its powerful new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft to land humans on the Moon. NASA aims for a first unmanned mission, Artemis I, in 2021, following the completion of the Orion spacecraft and the final rocket tests. "The spacecraft is complete while the core stage and its attached four engines are undergoing a final series of tests that will culminate in a critical hot fire test this fall", the agency said in a press release on 21 September.
Following this test, the core stage of the rocket will be shipped to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to integrate it with the spacecraft and launch SLS and Orion together on two test flight around the Moon. "The first mission – known as Artemis I – is on track for 2021 without astronauts, and Artemis II will fly with crew in 2023," NASA said. The agency foresees "humanity's return to the surface of the Moon" for 2024, with Artemis III landing astronauts on the lunar South Pole. "Wearing modern spacesuits that allow for greater flexibility and movement than those of their Apollo predecessors, astronauts will collect samples and conduct a range of science experiments over the course of nearly seven days. Using the lander, they will return to lunar orbit before ultimately heading home to Earth aboard Orion."
Saturn's ocean moon Enceladus has fresh ice in unexpected place: Enceladus may be even more interesting than we thought.
Saturn's geyser-spewing moon Enceladus may be even more active than scientists had thought. Fresh images created using data from NASA's dead Cassini spacecraft show that Enceladus' northern hemisphere was resurfaced with ice relatively recently. This new information adds to the known activity in the southern hemisphere, where Cassini spotted more than 100 geysers blasting icy water into space. Researchers spotted the northern changes after looking at the heat signature of Enceladus, using reflected sunlight parsed with Cassini's visible and infrared mapping spectrometer instrument, or VIMS. "Thanks to these infrared eyes [on Cassini], you can go back in time and say that one large region in the northern hemisphere appears also young and was probably active not that long ago, in geologic timelines," Gabriel Tobie, a study co-author and VIMS scientist at the University of Nantes in France, said in a NASA statement.
The team combined VIMS data with visible imagery captured by Cassini to create a new, global map of Enceladus in multiple wavelengths of light, both infrared and visible. The map shows that the infrared signals correlate with recent geologic activity on the moon, the researchers said. To the surprise of scientists, however, the new map also shows infrared features in the moon's northern hemisphere. The data suggests that icy resurfacing also happened up north, but how is not yet clear. The changes could have been due to more icy jets, or slower ice movements through cracks in the crust, team members said. Enceladus is one of the most promising abodes for alien life in the solar system. In addition to the subsurface ocean and geological activity, the moon likely has an energy source that organisms could tap into — chemical reactions perhaps similar to those that sustain life near Earth's deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
Space Hero reality TV contest to send civilian to ISS in 2023
The London-based TV series and show producer Space Hero is planning to send the winner of a global reality TV competition to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2023, Space Hero announced last week. Space Hero has secured a seat on a 2023 mission to the ISS and launched what Space Hero describes as the world's first global space casting show. Space Hero did not specify which mission it will use to send a civilian to space and launch its global reality TV contest. Space Hero was created in 2008 in Berlin and moved its headquarters to London in 2016. "Space Hero's mission is to break barriers and create avenues for greater participation by the Public, bringing Millions of People into the New Space economy…Through new media, Space Hero will help advance humanity and continue the ground-breaking progresses in Space Exploration," Space Hero says in its LinkedIn profile.
Rocket Lab gears up for 1st launch from US soil but a launch date has not yet been set.
Rocket Lab is nearly ready to launch its first mission from American soil. The California-based company, which has launched 14 missions to date from its New Zealand site, just wrapped up a "wet dress rehearsal" at its Launch Complex 2 (LC-2), at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Wallops Island, Virginia. During the exercise, a Rocket Lab Electron booster was rolled out to the newly built pad, raised vertical and fuelled. Mission managers then took a simulated countdown all the way to 0, to verify that all procedures will work as planned on launch day.
"With this major milestone complete, the Electron launch vehicle, launch team and the LC-2 pad systems are now ready for Rocket Lab's first launch from U.S. soil," company representatives said in a statement on Thursday (Sept. 17). There is still one major box left to tick, however: NASA must finish certifying Rocket Lab's autonomous flight termination system, which is designed to end a mission automatically if something goes wrong during launch. Indeed, a targeted launch date will not be set until this hurdle has been cleared, company representatives said.
Big find! Scientists spot giant alien planet orbiting close to dead star's corpse
We may now have direct evidence that planets can survive unscathed the violent churn that attends their host star's death. Astronomers have spotted signs of an intact giant planet circling a super dense stellar corpse known as a white dwarf, a new study reports. The white dwarf in question, called WD 1856, is part of a three-star system that lies about 80 light-years from Earth. The newly detected, Jupiter-size exoplanet candidate, WD 1856 b, is about seven times larger than the white dwarf and zips around it once every 34 hours.
"WD 1856 b somehow got very close to its white dwarf and managed to stay in one piece," study lead author Andrew Vanderburg, an assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in a statement. "The white dwarf creation process destroys nearby planets, and anything that later gets too close is usually torn apart by the star's immense gravity," Vanderburg said. "We still have many questions about how WD 1856 b arrived at its current location without meeting one of those fates."
Rocket Lab's plan to search for life on Venus in 2023 just got more exciting
The 2023 life-hunting mission will be just the beginning, if all goes according to plan. The California-based company aims to launch a private Venus mission in 2023 to hunt for signs of life in the clouds where scientists just spotted the possible biosignature gas phosphine. But that landmark effort will be just the beginning, if all goes according to plan. "We don't want to do one mission — we want to do many, many missions there," Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck told Space.com Monday (Sept. 14), hours after scientists unveiled the Venus phosphine discovery. Beck has long wanted to help explore Venus, which he thinks has not yet received the scientific attention it deserves. "Venus is well and truly undervalued," he said.
Venus was once a temperate world like Earth, with plentiful surface water — including, many scientists believe, large oceans that may have persisted for much of the planet's 4.5-billion-year history. But a runaway greenhouse effect eventually took hold on the second rock from the sun, baking out Venus' water and transforming its surface into the scorched, high-pressure hellscape it is today. And "hellscape" really isn't an exaggeration: Surface temperatures on Venus hover around 872 degrees Fahrenheit (467 Celsius), hot enough to melt lead. Learning exactly what happened to Venus, and why, is of great interest to planetary scientists. And the planet's evolution serves as a sort of cautionary tale for Earth, where human activity has ushered in a period of dramatic warming, Beck noted.
Then there's Venus' astrobiological potential, which may not be restricted to the ancient past. Though the planet's surface turned infernal, researchers think a pocket of potential habitability remained high in the clouds, about 30 miles (50 kilometres) up, and survived into the present day. Way up there, temperatures and pressures are quite similar to those found on Earth at sea level (though Venusian clouds are mostly made of sulfuric acid rather than water vapor). That cloud layer is where a team of scientists recently spotted the fingerprint of phosphine, a gas that here on Earth is produced only by microbes and human activity, as far as we can tell. And it's the environment that Rocket Lab wants to probe with that 2023 mission and its hoped-for successors.

CHASKA, Minn.—Tom Russell is all for Brexit. He lives in London and said the vote in June to yank the U.K. out of the European Union will lead to much-needed changes.
That said, as he watched the opening ceremony of the Ryder Cup competition at Hazeltine National Golf Club on Thursday, Mr. Russell wore blue pants in the pattern of the EU flag, an EU hat and a polo shirt with the EU's blue and gold colors. Draped over the 27-year-old's shoulders was a large EU flag. "Why not?" he asked.

Q: .net application throwing TypeLoadExceptions or saying that side-by-side configuration is invalid, etc I post this merely as a reference for others that might end up being in the same situation and since I spent almost 3 days trying to figure out the root cause of the problem, I thought it would be a good idea to post the solution here.
My situation was as follows:
I tried to build a deployment package for a .net application and got TypeLoadExceptions, FileNotFoundExceptions (regarding DLLs), Side-By-Side configuration errors, etc. once I tried to run it on a vanilla test machine.
[edit]: stackoverflow won't let me answer my own question within 8 hours of it being posted, the answer follows in ~8 hours ;)

A: The problem was that one of the dependency projects of my application was set to "Debug" build in the Visual Studio configuration manager, therefore the debug dll of the dependency ended up being used for release builds as well. On any development machine this was no problem after all since all debug runtimes were available.
On the vanilla test machine however only the release runtimes were present which caused so much trouble to me and gave me unmeaning exceptions that lead me to so many wrong directions via google, etc.
In my case it was SlimDX that was set to build a debug build in the VS configuration manager, even when doing release builds. Since SlimDX makes use of the VC runtimes I got the above problem, but this could happen with any .net assembly that uses the VC runtimes.
I hope this will eventually safe someone some hours ;)

What duration would be considered as "normal" for potty training a toddler?
* A few days? * A few weeks? * Couple of months? * More than that?
From what I gather, it's a matter of approach. I've seen articles referring to potty training as a long and gradual process that could take a few months. Those articles usually reflect the child oriented approach.
My view is different, but to simplify let's just say that if it feels like a struggle; if toilet training drags out, not progressing, causing frustration and stress -- it can be considered as Delayed Potty Training.
Searching the web for relevant articles, I was able to find one by Nader Shaikh mentioning possible causes for delayed training (Ref. #1: Time to get on the potty: Are constipation and stool toileting refusal causing delayed toilet training?).
To be logical, it does make sense that potty training will last longer for children who develop constipation, or experience stool toileting refusal. It is also likely that those children and their parents will experience the toilet training process as a difficult one.
As a mom though, I'm interested in asking a different question in regard to delayed potty training: I'm wondering if there are any factors related to the way parents conduct potty training, which could influence the effectiveness and the length of this process.
The general approach that we're taking in toilet training: Whether we take the "child oriented" approach; letting the child set the pace (and perhaps the rules) and simply "flow" with that – OR – we take a more structured approach, set clear expectations for toilet training behavior, and manage the process by our own set of rules.
The way we respond to acts of struggle from our kids, or How we handle toilet training resistance.
For parents of children who have developed Stool Toileting Refusal and encopresis: Is there a certain type of parental response that would be more effective than others?
For instance, if the child has developed a continuous behavior of encorpresis, would it be more effective for the parent to act tolerant and say stuff like "don't worry, nothing happened, you'll get it next time" – or should the parent make it clear to the child that such behavior is not acceptable?
I haven't found references for Studies discussing the effect of parental behavior in regard to delayed potty training.
There's a study by Taubman et al that mentions parental intervention in the context of Stool Toileting Refusal, which could be linked to delayed potty training (Ref. #2: Stool Toileting Refusal: A Prospective Intervention Targeting Parental Behavior).
This study instructed parents in the intervention group to avoid using negative language or gestures in relation to feces, in order to reduce the negative connotation.
The intervention did not decrease the occurrence of stool toileting refusal, but it did shorten the time it was present. This in turn resulted in the children toilet training earlier.
Another interesting study, by Schonwald et al suggests (the results were not conclusive) that difficult toilet training is associated with difficult temperamental traits in children (Ref. #3: Factors Associated With Difficult Toilet Training).
Examples for difficult traits being: less adaptable, more "negative in mood". The study also links difficult traits with constipation and hiding to stool, and other patterns associated with toileting struggle.
So if it's true that children characteristics, leading to children's behavior, can affect the course of toilet training and whether it goes smoothly or not (to over simplify), then by the same logic -- the way that parents handle children's behavior in the context of toilet training, can also have impact.
With or without the Studies, I believe that parental approach and behavior towards toilet training can influence the effectiveness and the duration of this process.
As to what may be the recommended parental approach -- that remains subject to intuition and opinions.
The two-cents I can offer from my experience is: If you feel you are struggling with toilet training, if the process extends for months and causes frustration and stress in the family and in your parenting -- seek help from a professional advisor.
If it's not working, don't keep repeating the same things you've been doing. It is probably best to try and approach things differently, and to do that we sometimes need to get an outside point of view.

(hangeul :  ; RR : Chanranhan yusan ; également appelé  ; en français Brillant héritage) est une série télévisée sud-coréenne diffusé en 2009 sur SBS (Corée du Sud).

Scénario

Go Eun Sung (Han Hyo Joo) étudie à New York et revient en Corée du Sud pour emmener son frère autiste, Eun Woo, aux États-Unis pour étudier la musique. Sun-woo Hwan (Lee Seung-gi), qui étudie aussi à New York, a reçu l'ordre de revenir en Corée par sa grand-mère, Jang Sook Ja, pour apprendre à diriger son entreprise. Eun Sung et Hwan, qui ont pris le même vol pour revenir chez eux, échangent par accident leurs valises, ce qui conduit à de nombreux malentendus entre eux.

Le père de Eun Sung, Go Pyung Joong, lutte pour sauver son entreprise de la faillite. Un jour, son porte-feuille et ses objets de valeur sont volés par un voleur qui meurt peu après dans une explosion de gaz accidentelle. La police, ayant trouvé les biens de Pyung Joong sur le voleur, émettent un certificat de décès au nom de Pyung Joong. Il décide alors de se cacher et de ne pas dire à sa famille qu'il est vivant pour qu'ils puissent réclamer l'argent de l'assurance vie et l'utiliser pour éponger les dettes. Néanmoins, sa seconde épouse, Baek Sung Hee, met à la porte ses beaux-enfants, Eun Sung et Eun Woo, après avoir reçu l'argent de l'assurance et déménage avec sa fille Yoo Seung Mi (Moon Chae Won), qui était la meilleure amie de Hwan, bien qu'elle espérait plus.

Eun Sung demande l'aide à ses amis, y compris Hyung Jin, qui l'avait évité car elle n'était plus riche désormais. Elle réussit alors à trouver un emploi dans une boîte de nuit avec l'aide de son amie Hye Ri. A la boite de nuit, Eun Sung rencontre Park Joon Se (Bae Soo Bin), qui est choqué de la voir travailler ici. Elle a également rencontré Hwan, qui lui a fait perdre Eun Woo. Réalisant que ce dernier a disparu, Eun Sung est dévasté et essaye de le trouver, en vain. Avec l'aide de Hye Ri et Joon Se, Eun Sung loue une chambre et démarre un petit commerce de quenelles tout en continuant de rechercher son frère.

Pendant ce temps, Sook Ja est profondément déçue de son petit-fils, car Hwan n'a aucun objectif dans la vie et ne sait pas comment diriger une entreprise et ses employés. Tout en réfléchissant ce qu'elle doit faire à propos de son petit fils, Sook Ja visite le quartier dans lequel elle habitait lorsqu'elle était pauvre et rencontre Eun Sung, qui vend ses quenelles. Sook Ja est alors victime d'un accident et reçoit l'aide d'Eun Sung. Touchée par l'aide qu'elle lui a apporté malgré ses faibles revenus, Sook Ja décide d'amener Eun Sung chez elle et annonce à sa famille qu'elle va vivre avec eux et qu'elle la nommerai héritière si elle parvenait à augmenter les bénéfices de l'entreprise de 20 %. De plus, elle décide d'arrêter d'aider Hwan, sa mère et sa sœur, et leur ordonne de travailler comme des employés normaux dans la société.

Report: Top Infectious Disease Expert Barred From Speaking Freely On Coronavirus
Screengrab/CNBC Television/YouTube
The Trump administration reportedly told Dr. Andrew Fauci he must get clearance for public comments on the outbreak.
The Trump administration reportedly has barred the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from commenting publicly on the coronavirus without first seeking approval from the White House, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has led the agency since 1984, reportedly told associates that the White House "had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance," though a NIAID spokesperson told Business Insider that "this is not true."
After President Donald Trump announced Vice President Mike Pence would lead the administration's coronavirus response efforts and report directly to the president, Pence took measures to "require top officials to seek clearance before making public statements on the illness," Insider reported.
Fauci, whose federal agency focuses on researching infectious diseases, has advised six presidents on domestic and global health issues, to include HIV and AIDS, and is highly respected as the White House's top adviser on infectious disease.
But in recent days, the doctor has contradicted Trump's comments on the coronavirus situation in the U.S.
Trump, who is reportedly hyper concerned over the virus' impact on the stock market, said on Wednesday that the U.S. is "rapidly developing a vaccine" for the coronavirus and "will essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."
Fauci jumped in to say that this was untrue, indicating that it will be at least two months until trials can begin and likely more than a year until a public-ready vaccine is available.
"Even though we are going as fast as you possibly can, it's still going to take a good year, year and a half to see if we have a vaccine that works," he told Fox News earlier this week.
Fauci also told CNN last week that the world is likely on the brink of a coronavirus pandemic.
Ronald Klain, who led the Obama administration's response to the 2014 Ebola crisis, said if Fauci is being muzzled, it will be a problem for public health.
"Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama trusted Tony Fauci to be their top adviser on infectious disease, and the nation's most trusted communicator to the public," he tweeted. "If Trump is changing that, it is a threat to public health and safety."

Uber's pick for new CEO brings skills, experience
By TOM KRISHER and MICHAEL LIEDTKEAssociated Press
For a surprise choice, Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi appears to check the boxes needed to tackle the massive job of leading Uber from a rapidly growing but dysfunctional money-loser to a company that can turn a consistent profit.
Like Uber, Expedia is a global juggernaut that uses an internet platform to process millions of transactions every year. Expedia went through a big growth phase just like Uber, and has mastered making money on travel booking transactions, something that's only an aspiration for Uber.
Khosrowshahi also has experience leading a public company, which Uber wants to become, and he has handled vocal investors and strong-willed board members, which Uber has.
"The businesses he was in are all about wringing efficiency out of underutilized assets and using a network to do it," said Gartner analyst Michael Ramsey. "He's really in the same business."
Uber's fractious eight-member board voted Sunday to offer the job to Khosrowshahi, 48, who has spent most of his career at Expedia or what was once its parent company, IAC/InterActiveCorp. Expedia's board chairman confirmed the offer in a note to employees, but as of late Monday there was no announcement from Uber, where Khosrowshahi reportedly was meeting with employees.
At Uber, Khosrowshahi will face a multitude of problems that led to the ouster of contentious CEO and co-founder Travis Kalanick. Board members are engaged in a very public fight, one that has spilled into the courts and influenced the CEO pick. An investigation by an outside law firm found rampant sexual harassment and bullying and there have been allegations of theft and deceit.
To right the company, Khosrowshahi must calm employees, showing them he's got a specific plan to change culture and make money, Ramsey said.
He has the credentials to do that, RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney wrote Monday in a note to investors. "Expedia's loss is Uber's gain," he wrote.
Uber's drivers are already worried that Khosrowshahi will trim their wages as part of the effort to make money, said Chris Townsend, director of field mobilization for the Amalgamated Transit Union, which has been organizing the drivers in New York.
"Until we see whether this CEO can bring a meaningful change in the company's behavior, we are going to be fastening our seat belts," Townsend said. "While we are trying to be hopeful, there is as much as dread and trepidation as anything else."
Khosrowshahi was a "major factor" in IAC's success during the past 12 years, Mahaney wrote, adding that Expedia's share price has risen by a factor of eight and its bookings went from about $16 billion in 2005 to $72 billion last year.
By market value, San Francisco-based Uber is triple the size of Expedia Inc., which is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. The privately held Uber's total number of outstanding shares are worth just under $70 billion, while the total value of Expedia's shares is about $22 billion.
Khosrowshahi has 19 years of leadership at Expedia and IAC, and has had to deal with acquisitions and challenges, said Morningstar senior analyst Dan Wasiolek in an interview. Moreover, Khosrowshahi has created a corporate culture that employees respect, as measured by third-party surveys, Wasiolek said.
"Given all the problems at Uber, the lack of any real controversy amongst employees at Expedia indicates that he may do a good job at personnel leadership," Mahaney said.
Khosrowshahi may not have been offered the new job, if not for Uber's bickering board. One flank of directors campaigned for former General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to take over the top job while another led by Silicon Valley venture capital firm Benchmark wanted Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Meg Whitman. Immelt withdrew Sunday and it was unclear if Whitman was ever really back in the race after multiple statements disavowing interest.
Both factions were impressed with Khosrowshahi, whose became the consensus candidate, said one person briefed on the matter. "He was very much no drama," said the person, who did not want to be identified because the board meeting was private.
Khosrowshahi became accustomed to boardroom tensions at Expedia, where two of its directors — media moguls Barry Diller and John Malone — have had an acrimonious relationship at times. At one point, a company controlled by Malone sued to oust Diller from his CEO job IAC.
If he moves to Uber, Khosrowshahi will have to figure out a way to unite the board and end the acrimony. "That's an unusually divisive board," Mahaney said. "I'm not sure who has experience doing that."
Khosrowshahi would have to surrender most of a lucrative compensation package awarded in March 2015 when he signed a contract to remain Expedia CEO through September 2020. The deal included stock options valued at $90.8 million at the time they were awarded.
Companies that lure away top executives from their current jobs typically have to make up for the money that they are surrendering.
Khosrowshahi, an Iranian refugee, has been open in his disdain for President Donald Trump, particularly his travel bans on people from several predominantly Muslim countries. "The President's order represents the worst of his proclivity toward rash action versus thoughtfulness," Khosrowshahi wrote in an email to some Expedia employees in January, according to The Seattle Times.
In a February conference call with analysts, Khosrowshahi ended a discussion of Expedia's quarterly results with an ominous remark: "Hopefully we will all be alive to see the end of next year," he said.
Uber is now being run by a 14-person group of managers and is without multiple top executive positions that would be filled by Khosrowshahi.

We note the CFA dismissed the appeal of the appellants, Ms. Vallejos Evangeline Banao and Mr. Domingo Daniel, who were seeking permanent residency status pursuant to Article 24(2)(4) of the Basic Law.
(b) Whether a statement in the 1999 Interpretation by the NPCSC of Articles 22(4) and 24(2)(3) of the Basic Law is or constitutes part of an "interpretation" within the meaning of Article 158(1), such that it is binding on and shall be applied by the courts of the HKSAR when deciding cases involving any one of the categories under Article 24(2) of the Basic Law (including Article 24(2)(4)).
We note the CFA's decision on the residency rights of the foreign domestic helpers was based on a thorough analysis of the meaning of "ordinarily resident" without the assistance of any "extrinsic materials". The CFA has made a determination that its adjudication is within its limits of autonomy under Article 158(2) of the Basic Law and it has thus decided there is no need to make any referral to the NPCSC.
The CFA judgment provides a clear analysis of the court's jurisdiction under Article 158 of the Basic Law and notes that before the CFA can make a reference to the NPCSC it must be satisfied that the following conditions are fulfilled, namely "classification, necessity and arguability" .
The judgment has put the residency status of foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong beyond doubt and has clearly set out the circumstances and requirements where the CFA would be obliged to seek an interpretation of the Basic Law from the NPCSC.
The Law Society respects the CFA's analysis and decision.
In our Press Release of 10 October 2012 we have noted that the community has expressed its concerns too many interpretations of the Basic Law by the NPCSC can undermine the independence of the Judiciary and the rule of law, which are recognized as core values of Hong Kong. On the question of Mainland Mothers giving births in Hong Kong, given established legal principles, the Law Society considered that a referral to the NPCSC to interpret Article 24(2)(1) of the Basic Law will undermine the core values of Hong Kong.
Given the CFA's judgment in Vallejos, the Law Society urges the Government not to seek a free standing interpretation of the Basic Law on the two questions upon which the Government has originally asked the CFA to seek an interpretation.

As India entered the 74th day of nationwide lockdown, which is now being relaxed phase-wise, shopping malls, restaurants and religious places made their last minute preparations to resume their operations from Monday, June 8 onward. According to the latest SOPs released by the Health Ministry keeping in mind the concerns over the spread of coronavirus, the malls, restaurants and places of worship would be allowed to open with certain Covid safety measures in place such as ensuring social distancing, utilisation of 50 per cent seating capacity among others.
On Saturday, India surpassed Spain's tally to become the fifth worst-hit nation by Covid-19, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. As of now, the total number of confirmed cases in India stands at 243,733 as opposed to Spain's figures of 240,978. According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare as many as 6,642 fatalities have been reported, so far while there are 1,15,942 active Covid-19 cases and 1,14,072 people have recovered.
Here's a curated list of some interesting stories from across the country on Day 74 of lockdown
Covid-19: ITBP opens its countrywide health centres for veterans
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), that guards the LAC with China, has made its countrywide health centres and hospitals accessible for its veterans suffering from coronavirus, the chief of the paramilitary force said on Saturday. ITBP Director General (DG) S S Deswal has issued an official message to all his troops saying the decision has been taken after the force came across news reports about many facing problems in getting admission or treatment at COVID-19 designated hospitals. "We have come across news items that citizens are facing problems in hospital admissions and treatment or they are charged exorbitantly," DG Deswal said in his message.
"Our Himveers (mountain warriors) have sweated throughout their life. We do not want that they suffer and hence all our veterans are being offered health services in case anyone of you are affected by COVID-19," he said. He added that all hospitals of the force across the country will admit veterans who have contracted the disease and treat them.
The ITBP has about 20,000 retired and dependent personnel. The ITBP runs a super-specialty Referral hospital for the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) or paramilitary forces in Greater Noida, AND has two base hospitals at Tigri in Delhi and Kimin in Arunachal Pradesh. it also has composite hospitals at Dehradun and Chandigarh apart from health centres at its every base in the country.

Govt will bear higher education expenses of salon owner's daughter: Tamil Nadu CM
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami Saturday announced that the state government would bear expenses of the higher education of a salon owner's daughter in Madurai who was lauded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Mann Ki Baat for his Covid-19 relief work. The salon owner, Mohan of Madurai district, spent all he had saved for his daughter Nethra's higher education to buy and distribute groceries and vegetables for the poor during the lockdown period, Palaniswami said while appreciating his gesture.
"The Tamil Nadu government will bear the higher education expenditure of Nethra," the Chief Minister said, adding, it was to honour Mohan's help for the destitute with dedication, sans selfishness during the pandemic. He greeted the 13-year-old girl who reportedly convinced her father to spend his savings for the needy.
First-ever online music concert by Kashmiri artists on Sunday
In a first, renowned Kashmiri music artists are coming together for a virtual concert in the Valley to connect people across the globe during the Covid-19 pandemic and keep the art and culture alive. Through the three-hour (6-9 pm) concert, named 'Qarar' (Solace), on Facebook, the Kashmiri vocalists and instrumentalists on Sunday will try to cheer people up, famed singer and chairman of The Kashmir Music Club, which is organising the event, Waheed Jeelani told PTI.
Apart from Jeelani, singers like Rashid Jehangir, from Doda in Jammu, Archana Jalali, from Ottawa in Canada, and others at the studio will entertain the online audience.
Jeelani said the step is to connect people during such trying times. "The idea came because of the lockdown. We wanted to connect with people, provide some solace to their hearts in these times when art and entertainment got affected," he said.

Uploading a single blob is done in two parts:

1. Optional: see if the server already has it with a HEAD request to
   its blob URL, or do a multi-stat request with a single blob. If the
   server has it, you're done. Blobs are content-addressable and have
   no metadata or version, so if the server has it, it has the right
   version.

2. PUT that blob to its blob URL (or do a multipart batch put of a
   single blob)

When uploading multiple blobs (the common case), the fastest option
depends on whether or not you're using a modern HTTP transport
(e.g. SPDY).  If your client and server don't support SPDY, you want
to use the batch stat and batch upload endpoints, which hopefully can
die when the future finishes arriving.

If you have SPDY, uploading 100 blobs is just like uploading 100
single blobs, but all at once. Send all your 100 HEAD requests at
once, wait 1 RTT for all 100 replies, and then send then the <= 100
PUT requests with the blobs that the server didn't have.

If you DON'T have SPDY on both sides, you want to use the batch stat
and batch upload endpoints, described below.

## Preupload request:

see [blob-stat](blob-stat.md)

## Batch upload request:

Things to note about the request:

   * You do a POST to $BLOB_ROOT/camli/upload where $BLOB_ROOT is the
     blobserver's root path. You can get the path from
     performing "discovery" on the server and getting the
     "blobRoot" value. See [discovery](discovery.md).

   * You MUST provide a "name" parameter in each multipart part's
     Content-Disposition value.  The part's name matters and is the
     blobref ("digest-hexhexhexhex") of your blob.  The bytes MUST
     match the blobref and the server MUST reject it if they don't
     match.

   * You (currently) MUST provide a Content-Type for each multipart
     part.  It doesn't matter what it is (it's thrown away), but it's
     necessary to satisfy various HTTP libraries.  Easiest is to just
     set it to "application/octet-stream" Server implementions SHOULD
     fail if you clients forget it, to encourage clients to remember
     it for compatibility with all blob servers.

   * You (currently) MUST provide a "filename" parameter in each
     multipart's Content-Disposition value, unique per blob, but it
     will also be thrown away and exists purely to satisfy various
     HTTP libraries (mostly App Engine).  It's recommended to either
     set this to an increasing number (e.g. "blob1", "blob2") or just
     repeat the blobref value here.

   * The total size of a batch upload HTTP request, including headers
     and body (including MIME bits) should not exceed 32 MB.  (A
     single blob can be at most 16 MB, but will in practice be much
     smaller: claims will be at most ~1 KB, and file chunks are
     typically at most 64 KB or 256 KB)

Some of these requirements may be relaxed in the future.

Example:

    POST /$BLOB_SERVER_PATH_ROOT/camli/upload HTTP/1.1
    Host: upload-server.example.com
    Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=randomboundaryXYZ

    --randomboundaryXYZ
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="sha1-9b03f7aca1ac60d40b5e570c34f79a3e07c918e8"; filename="blob1"
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream

    (binary or text blob data)
    --randomboundaryXYZ
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="sha1-deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef"; filename="blob2"
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream

    (binary or text blob data)
    --randomboundaryXYZ--

Response (status may be a 200 or a 303 to this data):

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Content-Type: text/plain

    {
       "received": [
          {"blobRef": "sha1-9b03f7aca1ac60d40b5e570c34f79a3e07c918e8",
           "size": 12312},
          {"blobRef": "sha1-deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef",
           "size": 29384933}
       ]
    }

Response keys:

    received         required   Array of {"blobRef": BLOBREF, "size": INT_bytes}
                                for blobs that were successfully saved. Empty
                                list in the case nothing was received.
    errorText        optional   String error message for protocol errors
                                not relating to a particular blob.
                                Mostly for debugging clients.

If connection drops during a POST to an upload URL, you should re-do a
stat request to verify which objects were received by the server
and which were not.  Also, the URL you received from stat before
might no longer work, so stat is required to a get a valid upload
URL.

For information on resuming truncated uploads, read [blob-upload-resume](blob-upload-resume.md).

This week in 1991, digitally aided hits by Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer ruled charts.
Digital sampling was making its way from the cutting edge to the mainstream nine years ago this week, as Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer held the top two spots on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart for a third straight week, with albums as heavy on sampling as they were on cheese.
The albums' hit singles, Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" (RealAudio excerpt) and MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" (RealAudio excerpt), helped fuel a debate over the creativity of sampling, now a de rigueur element of many chart toppers.
Sampling involves capturing a sound, often from an existing recording, and incorporating it in another work. "Ice Ice Baby," from Vanilla Ice's To the Extreme (1990), appropriates the bass and piano riff from the 1982 Queen and David Bowie hit "Under Pressure" (RealAudio excerpt), while "U Can't Touch This," from Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em (1990), was built on an extended sample of Rick James' "Super Freak" (RealAudio excerpt).
Because he had used such a large portion of "Super Freak," Hammer eventually gave James co-songwriting credit.
"Financially, it's fantastic," James told the Denver Westword newspaper in 1998, "and, of course, ego-wise and vanity-wise, it's really nice to hear someone do your stuff — so that's all good. But in another way, I wish that young rappers and samplers would take rap and hip-hop to another level."
Since its beginnings in the mid-1970s, rap music has relied heavily on the beats and sounds of others. But until the digital sampler arrived in 1984, the recycling was done with vinyl or tape loops. By the late '80s, production teams such as the Bomb Squad (Public Enemy) and Dust Brothers (Beastie Boys) used the dexterity offered by digital sampling to create increasingly intricate work.
The sample-heavy pop hits of the early '90s raised the question of whether artists were simply writing new lyrics to old hits. The charge still dogs hitmakers such as Puff Daddy and Will Smith, whose "Will 2K" (RealAudio excerpt) samples the Clash's "Rock the Casbah," but other artists, from pop band Len to the esoteric DJ Shadow, now use samples routinely without controversy.
