I think I might take a quick trip to Colonia (haven't been there yet) before the expedition starts towards the core...

I also wis hthe DIstant Worlds expedition thread went into more detail as to what these sites to see along the way are so I can decide if Iwant to visit them. I may head on over to Colonia after I get to the rendezvous since this is the closest we're getting and I've never been.

Is this a thread on the Frontier forums or here on ERA?

Getting matches like this makes me feel bad, I actually let the one guy kill me, lol. I try to quit out of these lobbies, but there aren't that many CQC players during the week. Most of the experienced guys only play the weekend.

Also, how is the VR? I have an Oculus now and it seems interesting. However, it seems like you'd have to map a lot of your stuff to your flight stick. I only have the cheapo Thrustmaster T-Flight, so I don't have that many buttons and the majority of my stuff is on my keyboard. It seems like it would be a pain to relearn everything on my flight stick.
Edit: I tried it out, but it's a pain in the ass with my current set up. I don't have enough usb ports, so I have to unplug my mouse and having to set everything up each time is argh! It was pretty fun in CQC because I don't use my keyboard for anything besides turning off/on flight assist. The main game, however, was too impractical for me. Trying to feel my way around the keyboard wasn't fun. I could just go out and buy a USB hub, however, I really don't feel like remapping everything to my HOTAS and learning from scratch again.
Didn't see it mentioned but have you tried voice attack with the vr? It lets you use voice commands for almost anything. You can set macros to do things by voice also. I hear it works well with the oculus mic in the headset. I just got it on steam sale for $8 I think but it has a demo if you wanted to tool around with it.
Honestly I'm surprised you're even able to find a match.

I literally didn't think anyone played CQC anymore.
Granadier said:
DM games are pretty easy to get and I can get them anytime of day. They changed DM so it'll start with just two players, so that helps a lot. TDM and CTF you generally have to set stuff up in the CQC discord or play on the weekends at certain times (it seems like most of the CQC players are European).
What they need to do is integrate CQC into the main game. Some stations will have CQC Championship contacts that you can visit and sign up at to play. There could be local stuff (for the people who just want to maybe play a few rounds of DM or TDM). It would be against NPC players if there are not enough live players in the area.
Then there would be the larger CQC events (think Community Goals) that would drawn in players for a more structured experience.
The key is that all of this is in-game, it's not a separate mode.
Have a Megaship that goes around and does a touring CQC championship. It sets up a temp arena where ever it goes. Hell, they could have had a CQC Megaship follow Distant Worlds 2 to give people something else to do along the way.
Could you imagine having a CQC match against the backdrop of the Sagittarius A* and the Galactic Core?
Since it's all Telepresence no one risks losing their ships. It could even be cross play between Open, Private and Solo since, while it would be in-game it still sorta its own separate thing.
Yeah, having it be a completely separate mode really disconnects it from the broader game. If I could dock up at a "CQC supporting" stations and then hop in a fighter and go play a few matches I'd definitely be doing that.
Even better, and less feasible, would be to hook up those awesome in-station displays to show feeds of different CQC matches going on.
sidenote: I found out those station displays actually have individually textured pixel objects that can be manipulated together to produce the image. Display inside display.
Way back when CQC was announced, they had said they had plans to integrate it. That's really the only way it has a chance of taking off.
Well, not the only way. They could easily do better or bigger prizes to entice people. Let people win engineered modules, fighters, or even ships. Prizes are too meager and no one cares about the leaderboard.
A lot of improvements could be made for CQC. The majority of these have a lot been discussed to death on the Frontier forums, yet they just don't care really. Players still play it, so they aren't going to get rid of it, however, I don't think enough people play it to put more effort into making it better.
A couple of things I'd like to see:
Integrate it with the main game
This is probably the biggest one. It needs to be part of the main game. Right now it's just kind of this side mode you can do. The very least they could do is make it accessible through stations. I'd love to break up some of my trading with a game or two of CQC.
Add bots
A lot of new players are going up against players that have days of playtime in CQC. You probably won't even take these players' shields down, let alone kill them. Bots would be good for training and also getting games started faster.
Add more fighters
This one was always strange to me. They added new fighters to the main game, and yet they left them out of CQC when they could have been a great addition. The current meta has been around for years. Imperial Fighter=Condor>Eagle>Sidewinder. It would be nice to get some new ships to play with.
This is a huge issue. The game just doesn't respect your playtime. So there are pretty much only two rewards for CQC. A permit and credits. The permit you get after you prestige once and isn't anything special really. The station has 20% discount on some stuff, but that's about it. It's more of a symbol status of going somewhere that few commanders can go.
The credits on the other hand are a straight joke. Here's my current playtime:
I have 40 hours (probably more considering the time I'm waiting for a match) of CQC and have made 683k credits. I could make millions upon millions of credits in the main game in 40 hours. People like to say it's fair because there is no rebuy cost and you don't have to buy anything blah blah. I do agree that you shouldn't make as much in CQC as in the main game, but this is pathetic and it doesn't respect your time as a player. CQC definitely needs better rewards and incentives to play, maybe make it a community goal to see players' interest in it.
CQC is fun and more players would play if they just didn't leave it to die. Once I get my prestige and permit, I'm taking a long break from it. I would never attempt to Elite it (that's like 20 days of playtime) in its current state.
Man, I'm burning out on this at such a bad time. My brain wants to play mindless shooters instead of this.
I'm not burning out but sometimes playing a shooter is more exciting than jumping 41 times :P
I'm only one cycle behind, though. Anthem is intriguing me and taking up time, though.
Jedi2016
That's exactly why I didn't join DW2. I'm out in the black myself, but heading in a different direction and playing at my own pace.
I'll probably head to Sag A, then check out Colonia and slowly wander back to the bubble. But I think I'm done trying to keep up with the expedition. More power to them though. I've seen some great sights thanks to them.
Pretty good couple of days exploring.
Yesterday I found a triple T-Tauri system with six water worlds and an Earth-like.
Then today I found my first biologicals. I'm carrying an SRV, so I could get up close and personal. Pretty neat.
Now all I need is some Notable Stellar Phenomenon.

Hello everyone, i just got an X56 Hotas, and im ready to begin playing Elite, any beginner tips or guides to set up the x56?
Is there a Resetera Elite discord channel?
Not Spaceghost
Man CQC is my favorite part of elite and the fact that I needed to coordinate on a special discord channel to play some games got exhausting. CQC really needs to be beefed up and made part of the main experience.
Last night I was searching for Federation stations for some rank up missions and ended up dropping into my first neutron star system just by chance. Huge surprise and really cemented how beautiful this game is.
remind me to turn off orbit lines
That's a great shot. Even the ship looks amazing.
Thanks man! Galvanized paint with the ship kit really makes the Python shine.
Unrelated note; fuck Fed rank grinding. I thought the rep was gonna be the most annoying part. Nooooo, those rank up missions are the bane of my existence. Appearing randomly, but ALSO requiring cordial rep with the local factions makes no sense.
I did almost all my Fed ranking at Sothis/Ceos running cakewalk courier missions back and forth. By the time the rank up missions popped up I'd already be on great terms with all the controlling factions. Took very little time at all.
I'm doing rescue missions. Saving thousands of stranded refugees from the Thargoid menace.
But I guess that's not good enough for the controlling factions to view me in a positive light.
Fedeuy said:
I have the X-55, not too different from the X-56 save for less joysticks. I've got mine setup just how I like it if you want tips but I use voice attack so some things are not really bound to the HOTAS.
I don't think there is an ERA Discord for Elite but there are a lot of Elite Discords out there if you want any invites.
Haven't touched Elite for a while and use M+K or a CH HOTAS setup. Generally however:
Joystick => Standard roll, pitch & yaw to the respective axis. Targeting functions on a 4way hat, energy management on a different 4way hat
Throttle => Thrust, however you like it best (range: -100% - +100%, 0%-+100% reverse with modifier or toggle). Lateral and vertical thrust on a thumbstick on the throttle. From there on you can map defensive functions, navigation functions etc. however you like.
If a function is critical and potentially negative when triggered accidentally, e. g. silent running, you may want to assign it to something with a modifier.
You can start from there, but be prepared to play around with the mappings for a while. They're numerous and you'll take a while to find a binding you're comfortable with. For generating a visual representation of your bindings file (Google where to find it), you can use a helpful online tool: https://edrefcard.info
Edit: The Future of Elite Dangerous
Will Flanagan said:
Back in August, we mentioned that the team had begun work on the next major era of Elite. We believe this will be a defining moment in the history of the game and it will be our biggest update yet.
In that post, we explained that the content was still very early in development, so we won't be ready to announce it for a while. To give this more context, in order to realise the ambition for this update, and the size and scope of the content we wish to bring to the Elite Dangerous galaxy, we estimate this major milestone will be ready by the latter half of 2020.
As development progresses, we will share more news and announcements on features, as well as timelines regarding this upcoming content for Elite. We can understand that having a long wait for news can be frustrating, but we truly believe that this will be the single most impactful update for our community. Having a development team dedicated to this milestone is our continued and unwavering commitment to making Elite Dangerous the most authentic, ambitious, and expansive evolving space game in the world.
When they let on last year that they'd more or less just started production of the next big update, I feared that we were looking at another Horizons situation. Release just in time for Christmas 2019, feature starved, undercooked, unbalanced etc.. Seems that at least this situation will hopefully not repeat. At the price of having to wait for about two more years. But here's still hoping for a good implementation of space legs or "Elite feet" and atmospheric exploration down the road!
Latter half of 2020 is pretty far away. I wonder what it's going to be. Atmospheric planet landings? Walking around a station or a ship?
Watched the ObsidianAnt video on the news about late 2020. Made my interest in the game just absolutely plummet.
Here is what my dream is.
A complete redo of the entire engine (in Vulkan, for better performance in general) but that mainly is to allow for truely seamless transitions and seamless instancing. Think Space Engine. Think being able to fly from the surface of a planet to space without ever needing the "jump" to Supercruise where it's loading a new instance. You just seamlessly transition from what to the other and there is no loading, at least any that you notice. Same with jumps between systems, you can still have the hyperspace effects and what not but instead of the skybox completely fading out you still see it woosh by in the background to your destination. Sure, for short jumps it won't move much at all but for larger ones you'll see the systems fly by like you do in Space Engine.
Give us that ability to fly from any system to any other system in Supercruise if we want.
Well, at the rate I'm going, I just might be back in the bubble by the time that update launches...
RadioActiveLobster said:
A complete redo of the entire engine (in Vulkan, for better performance in general) but that mainly is to allow for truely seamless transitions and seamless instancing. Think Space Engine.
Granted, I don't know how it all works internally, but I have a hunch that the transition times have nothing to do with the engine and nearly everything to do with how instances and their transitions are designed.
When you hit that jump/supercruise key, the game client probably asks for info on your target location from the backend. It tells the backend that you want to transition into an instance in that target area, the backend checks if there are instances (other players) of that area already. If so, it tries to put you in one, telling that other player's game client that you're about to enter that instance, tells your game client that you're entering that instance. Otherwise it has to register a new instance for your client.
As I said, I don't know how it all works internally, but that communication is necessary. It can mean transferring a bunch of data packages across the globe a couple of times. Where 'time' is no predetermined entity, but can range anywhere from a second to dozens of seconds, depending on how much load is on the backend, and how long communication between all involved clients takes. But every step introduces a delay, that can vary greatly in length.
Support for Vulcan or the "Cobra" engine in all likelihood have nothing to do with it. Your best bet would be for them to either redo the game into a single player affair (like space engine?) or to radically redesign their instancing and client server concept. Eliminating transitions might be possible if you are permanently connected to a server and are always in the same instance. On the other hand, such servers would have a capacity limit and you'd also only be able to ever meet players on the same server. Which may be an issue in a game world the size of the milky way...
Dreams-Visions
2020 eh? well as long as the servers are on, I'll play every once in awhile. ED is still the reason I bought into VR and it's still the defining experience for me.
I just wish...well...lots of things. But after like 2,000 hours, I've gotten more than my monies worth. I'll just hope that big expansion actually comes out doesn't turn out to be them pulling our legs. I miss having a reason to play ED.
Late 2020's a long way off yet but I don't mind being patient... so long as the eventual payoff's worthwhile.
AMD said:
I mean if you're an ED player you know nothing but patience in your life.
Dreams-Visions said:
True enough. I did wait 30 years for Braben to release a game that at least looked like the one that the original made me imagine.
Makes me really curious as to what they're going to do until then. There are still suppose to be changes/additions between now and then right?
They're talking about doing some adjustments to community goals and more community event work in the linked forum post. I wouldn't hope for any major feature additions to the game, but maybe they'll turn community events into something more interesting than filling a grind meter? It's also imaginable that they're hiding the odd new scan object or location every once in a while.
Edit: From the source.
Community Update (01-03) said:
We know that waiting for a mammoth update like this one is going to feel like your 3rd run to Hutton Orbital. But don't fret, we've got plenty of updates, content, and plans happening as we progress through to this monumental milestone.
As well as the team of developers working on our next big milestone, we also have a smaller development team focused on adding to and improving the existing game between now and that time. This will take the form of regular game updates and development supported events.
Development supported events
One of the biggest changes will be the way that we create and support in-game events and activities. Starting in the coming months, we will be looking to change the way that in-game events happen. The aim here is to create ongoing, engaging, and varied sets of content that are supported by the development team which players will be able to actively engage in.
We have listened to community feedback regarding Community Goals and while they are an incredible tool, they have become somewhat routine for many Commanders. We felt that we needed to adjust them to be more event-related while taking our in game events a big step further. We will gradually be changing our community goals and their frequency, using them within a larger schedule of development-led events to help us create more improved, meaningful and engaging experiences.
As well as Community Goals, we will also be using things like new scenarios, reputation and reward boosts (such as Superpower reputation increases), BGS and global galactic changes, in-game interactions, new game assets and much more to make game-wide events that tie into the game world. The aim is to constantly create new and exciting events and campaigns for you to get involved in and shape, which will focus on and benefit different types of players.
Outside of the game, we'll communicate with you about these events, how they work and what goes into developing Elite Dangerous.
In addition to the weekly and monthly activity happening in Elite, we will also be releasing a series of updates roughly every 3-4 months. The first two of these updates will primarily focus on new player and welcoming experiences, and we will also be introducing a number of quality of life improvements for the entire player base, of which we will have more news on in the coming weeks. This will help ensure that new players are able to better progress through the game, and therefore help bring more players through to our very awesome, very welcoming community. We will also have additional game tweaks, benefits and bug fixes for all players. In the subsequent updates we will be focusing on bringing in new features, perks and content, including a range of exciting new additions to the game that will build up to this new era.
It is important to note that these updates will not take the same level of content or size that we have seen from our previous updates in Beyond or Horizons, as the majority of the development team will be focusing on the new era.
Don't destroy my hopes for space legs
SothisKrieg
Any idea how big is the Elite Dangerous dev Team ?
RedSwirl
So people have been setting up places to dock outside the bubble?
SothisKrieg said:
The 2018/08 community update mentions that the had around 100 people dedicated to the "Beyond" updates and that the team is now larger then anytime in the past 6 years:
2018/08 community update said:
...The Beyond season was always something that we wanted to do in order to bring even more enhancements to the core experience of Elite and being able to dedicate a full development team (over 100 people!) for a full year of free content was specifically to gear ourselves up to support our long term vision for the game.
The most important thing we would like for our community to take from this, is that there are some incredibly exciting things just over the horizon. The Elite Dangerous development team is larger than it has been at any point in the last 6 years.
More than 100 then.

That's a pretty massive team for a 2 year update cycle

The other night I decided to take out my old PvP bounty hunting build https://s.orbis.zone/2h1k and go to some engineer systems. Most wanted CMDRs ran because APAs have low DPS plus my aim is rusty, and the pack hounds work best at breaking hard points of hull tanks but not much else. I got killed by a meta FDL a few times at Wyrd, and noticed night vision made the mines very easy to see. I find the quad Plasma and rail FDL kind of boring so I wondered what other weird non traditional combat builds you all have enjoyed using?

Is there any quick checklist for flying, takeoff and landing? I played sometime ago and dont want to do the tutorials again
KaidoRacer said:
The tutorial is quick, just do it again if you can't remember how to fly, take off or land.
Xcell Miguel
There's an ingame check-list for take-off only, you do it once in the tutorial then it's disabled.
I don't remember where you enable it again (either the game settings or the ship settings in the right panel).
For landing, just make sure you ask the station in the contact panel (left) before entering.

Depends on what control setup you're using, and you may want to set custom controls depending on what equipment you have.
For instance when I started almost five years ago, I used an Xbox 360 controller and TrackIR, so I mapped the throttle to the right stick, and some less-needed stuff I mapped to the keyboard, such as using J for supercruise and hyperspace jumps.
Now I use a HOTAS and HTC Vive (although I only bought the Vive about two weeks ago, used TrackIR otherwise).
Most important controls to have, and some of these you may need more of depending on what you want your ship to do (such as if you're going to do a lot of combat, do you need Shield Cell Banks and a quick button for that? If you did you would want heatsinks too.)
Stick (for pitch and roll, yaw is optional and comes down to personal preference honestly, I prefer to have it. You might want to have another button that toggles roll axis to yaw axis if you don't want to have them all at the same time though)
Lateral thrust - ideally something analog (my HOTAS has that), but just to be able to take off and land easily, a digital option will get the job done. You would want analog if you're doing more advanced manuevers.
Landing gear button - You won't need this as often, so you could put it on your keyboard or something out of the way.
Hyperspace/supercruise
Deploy/retract hardpoints - There's an option for the primary fire button to deploy hardpoints. I personally don't like it and don't have that on.
Primary and secondary fire
Switch fire groups
Power distribution - Some kind of d-pad or 4-way thing to use for this. On HOTAS this is typically assigned to a POV hat. When I used to play with an Xbox controller, I used the d-pad for it. You will be messing with this frequently.
Something to switch to the four UI panels, maybe keyboard keys. The left and right panels you will need the most, up is social (chat, messages, etc.), bottom is vehicle launching (Horizons only), you'll also need something to navigate the UI panels.
Silent running button - depending on what you do, you may or may not need it often. It's up to you how convenient it should be.
Locking on/selecting targets - This depends on the equipment you have available. On my HOTAS I have a POV hat that can switch between all targets if I hit left or right, and enemy targets if I hit up or down. I can also look at a target and hit a button to lock onto it. I also have a button for cancelling lock-ons.
Engine Boost
Optional, or not depending on what you're going to be doing:
Shield Cell Banks (for combat typically)
Heatsinks (most often combat, but can be good for exploring in case you suddenly wind up in a system surrounded by 2-3 stars or something and you start burning up. Pretty much a requirement for using Shield Cell banks)
Chaff (pretty much anything but exploring needs this really)
Flight assist toggle (more advanced manuevers, some people fly with Flight Assist off all the time. Typically most useful for combat, but can be useful in other roles too)
Off the top of my head those are all I can think of, I'm sure there's probably things I missed that I use all the time though.
Xcell Miguel said:
It's in the ship settings on the right hand panel.
Since I got my Vive recently, I have gotten back into this game. I love the game, but I'm still amazed that after 4+ years the game STILL wastes your time in the dumbest ways.
I used to see lots of cases where I was in my combat-outfitted Anaconda and then a shildless Mostly Harmless Sidewinder interdicts me and says "Gimme your cargo or die!" and then I turn to look at him and he's pretty much dead.
Now it's stuff like what happened to me in my Fer-De-Lance today. I took a wing mission by myself to take out a bunch of pirates of a certain faction. An Imperial Courier of that faction that was Expert rank interdicted me saying "You have something I want." and was going to scan me. I figured I should just kill him for the credit on the mission, so I opened fire, barely dinging his shields and he suddenly just boosts away and charges his FSD and gets out! What a waste of time. Maybe I need a more effective PvE loadout on my FDL but good lord, it annoys me when the AI does stuff like that.
My current loadout on my FDL is 4 gimballed Multicannons and one huge fixed beam laser.
I've ranted about Engineers plenty since it came out a few years ago, but looking at it these days it still seems a waste of time unless you're getting heavy into PvP. Even then I imagine it still feels like a waste of time just because of how long it takes.

Let us know how you are doing, what all is going on in your neck of the world and anything else.
As for me, winter down here has been the usual for South Florida. Brief periods of cool downs, followed by rainy hot weather. Basically just like the climate we get year round only a little stranger. El Nino has had some effect on the weather patterns here, but it seems that the jet stream is not following the typical El Nino pattern and has started to send down somewhat dry cold fronts. That should change unfortunately for the Super Bowl weekend because we are looking at about 100% chance of rain on Sunday.
If someone wants to contact me outside of here, the only other place that I can be found is at www.wunderground.com in the blog section. Blogging name is PlywoodStateNative and I can be found either in: Dr. Master's blog, Weatherguy03's blog, or ryang's blog. Also there is a ton of information in all blogs there, so if you want to learn more about weather just drop in and have a read.
This very thin white funnel cloud in the distance was just to the west of hwy. 99 south of Bakersfield, CA.� The weather was very volatile that day.� I was driving pretty fast and my daughter took the photo, 1/27/08.
Not sure if it's a twister or a "land spout" if there is such a thing.
The weather here in the NE is very strange, as soon as snow appears, rain & sleet come to wash it into the rivers. We are once again under a flood watch!
It is not that we have had so much water/snow/ice this year, it is the frozen ground causing runoff into the rivers. I fear that we will once again have drought for the farmers this summer as the deep wells have not filled up.

GMA NEWS TV LAUNCHES 'MAY PAG-ASA CAMPAIGN'

GMA News TV's "MAY PAG-ASA" campaign is a collection of stories of hope aimed to show the power of the human heart to see light in the midst of darkness.
It does this by revealing the little known tragedies and challenges behind the success of GMA News TV's personalities. In this station and social media campaign, they share their personal struggles (#maypinagdadaanan) and how these became their source of hope (#maypagasa). They also share life stories of a few of their news and documentary subjects so that others can draw inspiration from them.
For seven years, Vicky Morales prayed to have a child. She tried everything -from medical intervention to dancing in Obando. Despite the long wait, she never lost hope. Vicky is now blessed with not just one, but three lovely children.
Jay Taruc was devastated when he learned that his only daughter Sophie has Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Sophie cannot walk and may be taken from their family at any time. Jay now spends every possible moment with his daughter.
Cesar Apolinario used to sell cigarettes on the street while Susan Enriquez had to work in a carinderia. Their earnings helped put them through school. Now the two are award-winning journalists.
Solenn Heussaff was bullied at a young age for being overweight. She taught herself to be strong and eat healthy and transformed into an icon of fashion and beauty.
Mel Tiangco suffered from a heart attack while Winnie Monsod experienced a stroke while on the air. Surviving these life threatening conditions pushed them to pursue their advocacies with even more passion.
Mike Enriquez has been married 37 years to his wife Baby. Early in their marriage, the two realized a baby was not in their destiny. Instead of focusing on what they lacked, they decided to work on maintaining a blissful marriage.
Beyond the experiences of its hosts, the channel honors the unwavering spirit of the Filipino and their indomitable courage to stand up and move forward through this campaign.
GMA News TV believes that we are all have our own story of hope. And as we help one another rise up, we help our nation rewrite its future.
The heartwarming MAY PAG-ASA campaign airs worldwide via GMA News TV International.
"Ano ang Kwento ng Pag-asa Mo?" is the campaign's theme song performed by Johnoy Danao and co-written by Johnoy with GMA News TV program manager Nena Celle Dumol and executive producer Joni Mosatalla. The song was composed and arranged by Ronald Tomas.
The GMA News TV station ID was shot by director Adolf Alix Jr. and filmed using ARRI Amira cameras provided by CMB Film Services Inc., with the drone shots captured by anchor/reporter Raffy Tima.

GMA Network posts 66 percent increase in Q3 2014 net income
(from left) GMA EVP and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, GMA President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr, GMA Chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon, and GMA Marketing and Productions, Inc. President and COO Lizelle G. Maralag at the GMA Network Q3 Performance Briefing on November 14 at the GMA Network headquarters in Quezon City
(Quezon City, Philippines – November 14, 2014) – Leading broadcast company GMA Network (GMA) reported a net income of P422 million in Q3 2014, up 66% versus the previous quarter.
Consolidated revenues for Q3 2014 stood at P3.141 billion, representing an 8% improvement over the P2.915 billion generated in Q2. Both airtime revenues and gross earnings from other businesses posted positive results and contributed to the increase in the topline.
Ratings leader GMA Channel 7 grew its sales by 7%, while GMA News TV, the country's number one news channel, hiked up its earnings by 12%. GMA Radio likewise registered a 15% increase in sales on account of its stronger listenership.
Meanwhile, revenues from other businesses led by GMA International, the business unit that manages the operations and distribution of the Network's three international channels, rose 12% compared to Q2 2014.
Total operating expenses slightly increased by 2% to P2.590 billion, as both production cost and General Administrative Expenses (GAEX) climbed 2% and 1%, respectively, in between quarters. Personnel cost was higher mostly from salary adjustments and the amortization of signing and appreciation bonuses in September as part of the Network's Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The Network ended the third quarter with an EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) of P972 million, surpassing the previous quarter's figure by 31%.
"The third quarter was a promising period for GMA with both our revenues and ratings on the uptrend. We are hoping to sustain this performance until the end of the year as we remain committed to offering superior programs across all genres and platforms," said GMA Network Chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon.
Business Developments
GMA International recorded higher subscriber figures in Q3 2014 compared to the previous quarter as it continues to reach out to more Filipino households abroad. Subscribers for GMA's international channels GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV and GMA News TV International grew by 2%, 1% and 8%, respectively.
GMA Worldwide, a wholly owned subsidiary that acquires foreign programs for GMA and syndicates Kapuso programs to the international market, sold 718 worth of program hours from 17 titles in the third quarter for telecast in Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Cambodia and Nigeria.
GMA New Media, Inc. (NMI) substantially grew its revenues from online advertising by 10% quarter-on-quarter as readership and audience reach of the GMA Network Portal (www.GMANetwork.com) soared in the covered period.
GMA News Online, the official news website of GMA News and Public Affairs, performed exceptionally well in the third quarter as it showed a significant increase in both pageviews and unique browsers, according to data from Effective Measure. The website surpassed the 86.4 million total pageviews generated in Q2 as figures jumped to 153.1 million in Q3. Monthly average unique browsers also increased from 5.6 million to 11.6 million in between quarters. The growth can be attributed in large part to better, more aggressive social media initiatives, which ultimately boosted sales from online advertising.
Furthermore, Digify, a subsidiary of NMI, remained at the forefront of new media initiatives as it engineered groundbreaking techno-based solutions for major brands, with some even gaining recognition from local and international award-giving bodies.
GMA artist Julie Anne San Jose's album, Deeper, under GMA Records, debut strongly with over 11,000 digital and physical units sold (according to sales from June 1, 2014 to September 20, 2014), earning it a Gold Record Award.
On the regional front, the Network continued to improve and expand its regional coverage with several transmitter upgrades. The signal outcome of the completed restoration and upgrade of the TV relay facilities of TV-8 Coron, which was damaged by Supertyphoon Yolanda in November last year, showed remarkable increases from the signal levels recorded in 2010. Its estimated coverage grew by 45% brought about by the increase in transmitter power (from 100W to 500W) and the installation of a new antenna system.
The site relocation of TV-11 Iligan in September 2014 not only expanded the station's coverage in the provinces of Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental, but also resulted in improved signal strength and quality and more importantly enabled the carriage of the Northern Mindanao programs originating from GMA Cagayan de Oro.
The third quarter saw GMA grabbing the nationwide lead in TV ratings from its closest competitor, according to data from Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.
During the covered period, GMA registered a 34.2% total day household audience share in NUTAM, higher than ABS-CBN's 34.1% and TV5's 9.9%.
GMA also kept its lead in its stronghold areas of Urban Luzon and Mega Manila, where it was ahead of competition by substantial margins. Urban Luzon and Mega Manila account for 77% and 60%, respectively, of the total urban TV households in the entire country.
In Urban Luzon, GMA scored 37.8% in total day household audience shares versus ABS-CBN's 30% and TV5's 9.2%; while in Mega Manila, GMA posted 38.8%, ahead of ABS-CBN's 27.7% and TV5's 9.8%.
Meanwhile, GMA's flagship AM station DZBB became number one in Mega Manila based on Nielsen data from June to September, driven by its aggressive programming efforts.
Beyond the numbers, GMA continued to reap awards and recognition from prominent local and international institutions as a testament to its unwavering commitment to merit and excellence.

Save the Children names Mikael Daez and Kylie Padilla as official Filipino ambassadors
Mikael Daez and Kylie Padilla for Save the Children
GMA Artist Center stars Mikael Daez and Kylie Padilla are the first Filipino representatives of Save the Children. They join international ambassadors Hollywood A-listers Jennifer Garner and Julianne Moore, football star Cristiano Ronaldo and distinguished stylist/editor/fashion designer Rachel Zoe in promoting the advocacy that aims to provide both emergency and long-term support to improve the quality of life for children.
Mikael shares that being chosen as one of the first Pinoy ambassadors of Save the Children is such an honor and fulfils his dream to help an advocacy close to his heart. "I've always wanted to help children. All children should be able to dream about what they want to be when they grow up. Save the Children's work means that more children can have those dreams. I am excited about the opportunity to work alongside this amazing charity and am privileged to be able to use my work for this excellent cause."
Meanwhile, Kylie is eager to take on her new role as ambassador of a children's organization. "It is a privilege to be a representative of Save the Children and be given the opportunity to help children in need, especially typhoon Yolanda survivors. I want to do whatever I can to help provide them everything they need so they can recover from their experiences and reach their full potential."
In the coming days, Mikael and Kylie together with some of the staff of Save the Children will visit Yolanda-affected communities in Tacloban to meet some of the survivors of the typhoon. Save the Children has already reached nearly 800,000 people in some of the 'Yolanda' hit areas providing them with emergency life-saving aid and long-term support for livelihood programs that will sustain their everyday living.
Save the Children's Country Director, Ned Olney, shares that they are happy to be working with passionate Kapuso stars. "Save the Children is delighted to have such passionate engaged young people working with us as we strive to give every child in the Philippines the best start in life. We hope that our relationship with Kylie and Mikael will give us the opportunity to reach many more children and save even more lives."

Трахеи́т () — воспаление трахеи.

Этиология
Трахеит вызывается теми же возбудителями, которые вызывают ринит, фарингит и ларингит:  вирусами, стафилококками, стрептококками и т. д. В случае недостаточного лечения (или отсутствия лечения) этих болезней воспалительный процесс может распространиться и на трахею, вызывая трахеит. Различают острый и хронический трахеит. Хронический является осложнением острого.

Неинфекционный трахеит может развиться из-за переохлаждения верхних дыхательных путей или воздействия на них пыли, химикатов, пара.

Не всегда наличие инфекции в организме становится причиной прогрессирования трахеита. На его развитие могут повлиять следующие факторы:
 постоянное вдыхание холодного воздуха либо слишком горячего;
 частые промерзания;
 табакокурение;
 частое вдыхание токсичных веществ;
 хронические недуги органов дыхания;
 воспалительные болезни в носоглотке и носовых путях;
 изменения в деятельности сердечно-сосудистой системы.

Симптомы и диагностика
 повышение температуры (незначительное: до субфебрильной)
 сопутствующие симптомы других заболеваний дыхательных путей (симптомы ринита, фарингита, ларингита)
 сухой (непродуктивный) кашель (особенно ночью и утром, а также при сильном вдохе, при хроническом трахеите это является основным симптомом)
 боль в глотке и за грудиной

Лечение и прогноз
При лечении трахеита применяют антибиотики разных групп и сульфаниламидные препараты. Также назначаются препараты для лечения сопутствующих заболеваний, лекарства для откашливания и отхаркивания. Курс длится, как правило, до 2 недель. Прогноз для острого и хронического трахеитов благоприятный.

Крайне редко возможно осложнение (бронхит, бронхопневмония). В очень тяжелых случаях может потребоваться интубация.

Профилактикой трахеита является своевременное лечение воспалений глотки и гортани.

Трахеит у животных
У животных в большинстве случаев трахеит регистрируется не как самостоятельное заболевание, а как осложнение ларингита или бронхита. У рабочих животных и собак причиной трахеита может быть длительное давление на трахею неправильно пригнанного хомута или ошейника. Течение обычно острое. В типичных случаях отмечают общее угнетение, напряженное дыхание, сухой, болезненный кашель.

Set aside for a moment the extensive collection of shiny trophies, $6 million in career prize money and Hall of Fame recognition. Juli Inkster is, in essence, a working mother.
She has juggled and struggled and spent a good deal of time and energy pondering the disconcerting notion that neither her children nor her career get the undivided attention they deserve.
This alone does not make her remarkable. Typical, however, is another matter.
But Inkster's daughters, 12-year-old Hayley and 8-year-old Cori, don't know any differently. Which is probably why, three weeks ago, when their mom was winning the U.S. Open in remarkable fashion, the girls were sitting in a movie theater watching Adam Sandler's latest cinematic offering, "Mr. Deeds."
They barely got to a friend's television in time to watch their mother, on the last hole of the same Kansas City area golf course where she began her Hall of Fame career 22 years earlier, close out with a round of 66 to beat the best woman golfer in the world, Annika Sorenstam, on their sport's biggest stage.
And by the time Inkster returned home to Los Altos the next day, she had morphed back into the same person who drives the SUV, coaches basketball, translates the instructions for the ice-cream maker and pulls the hot-lunch shift at school twice a month on chicken nugget day.
"I think it's great that they were at the movies. I want them to do what they want to do," Inkster said. "They know what I do is different from their friends' mothers." At 42, Inkster is the second-best player in the world right now. After winning the seventh major of her career, she is second on the LPGA money list for 2002, having earned nearly $1.1 million. She is second in the Player of the Year points totals behind Sorenstam and second in scoring average (70.21).
"They really hammered that '42-year-old' thing at the Open," Inkster said. "It's not like I need a cane. I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life, and I'm playing the best golf of my life."
This may indeed be the finest season in Inkster's distinguished professional career. She won five events in 1999 and earned more than $1.3 million but did it playing a schedule of 23 events.
Inkster said she plans to play 18 Tour events this season. And even with a reduced schedule that allows her to spend more time at home with the girls, she has managed to keep pace with the game's new breed of dominant players -- a group with skills far beyond those demonstrated by the Tour's top players even a decade ago.
"I'm not going to be able to compete week in and week out with Annika and Karrie (Webb) and Se Ri (Pak)," said Inkster, the second-oldest woman to win the Open title. "But I can definitely keep up with them when I am on."
Because of her ability to keep up, Inkster is as popular as ever. She was given an affectionate reception at Prairie Dunes -- the site of her win in the 1980 U.S. Amateur -- from the galleries and her peers alike, and the crowd was behind her as she chased down Sorenstam. Inkster believes the enthusiasm directed at her had mostly to do with it being Fourth of July weekend and her being the first American to win the Open in eight years. Or maybe it was because she defeated Sorenstam, whose dominance on the women's tour has been compared to Tiger Woods. Brian Inkster sees something else.
"I think there's a lot of respect out there for what she is doing," said Juli's husband of 22 years. "Sunday as we were leaving the hotel for the golf course, we passed by the putting green and the other players and caddies were wishing her luck and saying, 'Go get her.' She's got a lot of people behind her."
Inkster's continued success is nothing short of calendar-defying. She is clearly fit and energetic, but the fact remains, not many golfers over 40 collect major professional trophies.
On the PGA Tour, since Ben Crenshaw won the 1995 Masters at the age of 43, only two other players over 40 have won major tournament titles. Payne Stewart was 42 when he won the U.S. Open in 1999, and Mark O'Meara was 41 when he won both the Masters and the British Open in 1998. Inkster attributes some of her recent success to her new fitness regime, which has included weight- lifting for the first time.
"I have energy that I didn't have before. At this point I would usually be wearing down, and I haven't felt that at all this year," Inkster said.
Energy would seem to be at a premium. Her days are full, whether there's a tournament starting on Friday or not.
The weekend following her Open win, for example, she traveled with her daughter Hayley's softball team to San Luis Obispo for a tournament. It was Inkster's job to provide the team snacks, no small task considering the team played six games in two days.
And two days after the Inkster family returned home, the sports utility vehicle in the driveway was still covered with window paint declaring Hayley's team "No. 1!"
"The easiest part of my job is when I'm playing golf," Inkster said. "Every day stuff like birthday parties and buying presents and lunches and dinner and all of that -- it gets very busy."
Especially when there are always bags to pack and a flight to catch.
Inkster's daughters travel to meet her at about a dozen tournaments a year - - sometimes in the company of the family's longtime child-care provider, other times with their father or Inkster's parents, who still live in Santa Cruz where she grew up and was known as Juli Simpson.
Both girls have been on the road with mom since they were 6 weeks old, when Inkster's caddie would drive from one tournament site to another in a van loaded with car seats, strollers, high chairs and toys. She has searched the yellow pages for pediatricians in small, rural towns and sat in emergency rooms with sick babies until 3 a.m. only to get up and make her 8 a.m. tee time.
When the kids don't travel, Inkster admits she calls home a half dozen times a day to check on homework, softball scores and general well-being.
Three months ago, Inkster chartered a plane while playing in the Tour's Sacramento stop. She completed her Saturday round, returned home for Cori's First Communion and party and then got back to the golf course in time for Sunday's final round.
Still, the balance between Inkster's two roles -- golfer and mother -- wasn't always as easy as it is now.
"I struggled with it forever," Inkster said. "My mom was always at home, a stay-at-home mom, and here I am traveling around with Hayley as a baby at a different place every week and I wasn't playing great."
The Guilt led directly to The Drought.
Inkster went four full seasons, from 1993 to 1996, without a Tour victory. Her ranking fell to as low as No. 49. She briefly considered walking away altogether.
"I could tell, even if she didn't always admit it, that she had doubts as to whether she was being the good mom," Brian Inkster said. "I was most impressed that she stuck with it, that she figured out that she could do it, that we had two healthy, good kids and that she was not hurting them."
"Eventually, I realized that Hayley didn't care, as long as she was with me and she didn't know any better," Juli Inkster said. "She didn't realize not every kid did this." Inkster has become something of a sage for the other young mothers on Tour.
"It's to tell people how hard it is until they do it themselves," Inkster said. "And then they have their kids and they come to me and say, 'Man, this is hard.' "
Inkster has worked very hard to make her transition between devoted suburban mother and elite athlete a smooth one. It has been a deft mix of time management and inner peace.
"For a long time I was going through the motions and I decided that if I was going to do this, and haul myself and my kids around the country, I needed to make it worthwhile for myself and my family. I started working harder on my game."
At that point, Inkster began working with Denver-based swing coach Mike McGetrick.
"I told her that I thought she still had a lot of good golf in her," McGetrick said. "She's won four majors since then."
McGetrick said he has seen an improvement in all parts of her game.
"Her putting, her short game, everything is better and she has a better understanding of her games," McGetrick said. "She's learned to shoot a good score even if she is not swinging particularly well. That's exactly what she did in the first three rounds of the Open." The results of Inkster's renewed focus began to show slowly. She won one event in each of the next two seasons before her breakout year in 1999, in which she won five tournaments and more than $1.3 million. It was also the year she was inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame. That kind of honor often comes at the end of a long career.
Inkster said she is often asked how long she would like to play. Clearly, the reduction in her playing schedule signals a trend. Her sponsor contracts run out after the 2003 season.
She knows as her daughters get older, they are going to be more interested in staying home with their friends than going on the road with mom. And as their own calendars fill with activities, there will be more things that she will miss. "I'm not one to make rash decisions," Inkster said. "I'll know when I don't want to practice or I don't want to get on a plane or go play.
"I am more excited now when I play well than ever. I appreciate it more. I don't know how long it's going to last, because it's not like I'm young and I've got all this time."

Helen Richardson in Southern California, 1920.
A reluctant Fortean by association.
Esther Helen Patges was born 2 May 1894 in Portland Oregon to Ida Violet Parks Patges and George A. Patges. (Other sources give his name as George Christian.) George was from Denmark. He was a musician, though the census from 1900 lists him as a janitor—plight of the artist. Helen (as she came to be called) was the youngest daughter, after Hazel (born 1890). In 1900, the family lived with Helen's grand[[father]][update: mother], E. A. Dickerson, 60, a widow[[er]] and keeper of a rooming house, and [[his]][update: her] daughter (Ida's sister), the 20 year-old Myrtle, a stenographer. Both the younger girls were in school. Ida did not work.
By 1910, the family had both lost and gained a Myrtle. Myrtle J—who seems to have gone by Josie—married and left the household while Ida gave birth to Myrtle R. in 1901. The family had also lost the grand[[father]][update: mother], E. A., making George the new head of household. He was still working as a janitor, and presumably trying to make a living as a musician. No one else in the house worked—at least not officially. Jerome Loving's biography of Theodore Dreiser had Helen's family operating a hotel that backed against a Vaudeville Theater, and there is some evidence to support that Ida was running the romminghouse as late as 1909: an article in The Oregon Daily Journal lists Ida Patges as the landlady of the hotel known as The Venata.
Also according to Loving, Helen was starstruck; at least when it comes to Helen, though, Loving is not always reliable—he has Ida and George separating when Helen was young, which doesn't seem to be true. And he has it that Ida and her mother ran the hotel, but the census tells another story—perhaps, after all, it is the census that is incorrect. At any rate, on the matter of Helen's dramaturgical inclinations, he was right. The Oregon Daily Journal records that she performed before the Elk Club while in high school. Loving further has it that Helen, also while in high school, fell in love and married the actor Frank Richardson. And, indeed, there is a record of Helen Ester Patges marrying 11 June 1910.
The two struck out to make a name in entertainment in the West, but it she was, not they, who were getting the bookings. By all accounts, she was very attractive. The Richardsons eventually moved to Frank's hometown, Charleston, South Carolina. Young and restless, Helen went against tradition and, even while married, got a job, working as a secretary for a family friend. (They also had a brief affair, according to Loving.) As it happened, the friend was a fan of Dreiser, and Helen mentioned that she was distantly related to the famous author—her grandmother had been sister to Dreiser's mother. He encouraged her to get in touch with Dreiser, which she eventually did, tracking him down in New York, meeting him 13 September 1919.
"This day I met Helen," he wrote in his diary. "Dont remember much about the morning. Was reading at 11 A.M. when door bell rang. Slipped on my blue Chinese coat & went out. Saw a young girl of about 19 or 20, I thought, hiding behind the door." Introduced and invited in, the two seemed to be instantly attracted to each other. Dreiser was a notorious rake, and Helen had already had at least one affair, so they weren't constrained by the Victorian morals then disappearing. Dreiser was awestruck at her beauty; Helen shook while she gave him her address. "I am tempted to take her in my arms and kiss her," he wrote. She was 25, he forty eight. Within a week, they slept together.
And within a month, they left New York for Los Angeles, where she was to try her hand at acting, and Dreiser was trying to cash in on an offer to write for the motion pictures. Dreiser was still married, and Helen may have been, I'm not sure. They would spend three years in California. It was then that Dreiser met the poet George Sterling, conferenced with the future-Fortean John Cowper Powys, and became involved with the early Fortean mess surrounding the doctor—or quack—Albert Abrams and his Dynomizer. Both he and Helen claimed it cured them of various ailments, much to the chagrin of Dreiser's skeptical friend and supporter H. L. Mencken.
The relationship between Helen and Theodore was tempestuous, to say the least. For most of their time together, Theodore remained married, but Helen was a regular companion, an out-in-the-open mistress. She wasn't often happy about the arrangement, though, and their were fits and fights, separations and reconciliations. Helen would write a book about their love, My Life with Dreiser (1951). At this point, Dreiser's life is so well-documented, one could, if so inclined, probably plot the various arguments, the splits and comings together. But that is beyond the scope of what I need to do here. Worth noting is that Helen's career as a thespian failed, and the Dreisers returned to New York.
Meanwhile, as Helen threw Victorian mores to the side—as Dreiser did the same and forcefully wrote against them, tempting the ire of censors—Helen's family seems to have curled back into the arms of conventional morality. George, who was a dozen years older than Ida, passed away in 1925 (or possibly 1922). The 1930 census has Ida and her youngest daughter, Myrtle—who had moved away from home for a time—living at a Catholic monastery, the divorced Myrtle working as a night attendant for an undertaker. Ida and Myrtle continued to live together through 1940, even as Myrtle remarried and they left the monastery. Ida would pass in 1950 and be buried with George.
Dreiser's first wife, from whom he had separated in 1909, after nine years of marriage, died in 1942, and Helen harangued him evermore to marry her—a demand she had been making for decades. Dreiser eventually conceded, and they wed 13 June 1944. Their life together had been long and volatile; their marriage, pitifully short. Dreiser died 28 1945, barely a year and a half later. He was 74. Helen was fifty one. She got Theodore's book The Stoic posthumously. After publishing her own memoir, she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and moved back to Oregon, where her sister Myrtle cared for her. She died 22 September 1955, age 61.
It was Theodore Dreiser's death that prompted the connection between Helen and the Fortean Society, although it is entirely possible—indeed, likely—that Helen had some ideas about Fort and Forteanism that long predated the existence of the Fortean Society. Dreiser had known Fort since the early part of the 20th century, long before he met Helen, and the friendship between the two men overlapped the romantic relationship between Helen and Theodore, with Theodore there at the birth of the Fortean Society in 1931 and struck hard by Fort's death in 1932. Indeed, it seems that Dreiser was one of the few people that Fort actually visited. And Helen visited him just two weeks before he died. Her memoir makes a number of comments about him, all of them generally positive. She seems to have appreciated his acceptance of intuition, his iconoclastic views of science. Which makes sense with what we do know of Helen, for example how impressed she was with Dr. Abrams, never mind the popular condemnations. The memoir also suggests that she shared something of Dreiser's mystical views.
Thayer, though, wasn't interested in Helen's perspectives on Forteanism, mysticism, or alternative medicine. He had more practical matters in mind. Since Fort's death, he had been trying get ahold of Fort's papers. As Secretary of the Society, he had taken possession of Fort's notes—to Dreiser's great irritation: so much so that when Thayer announced the resuscitation of the Fortean Society, after a hiatus from 1931 to 1937, Dreiser tried to stop him, tried to gain control of the notes himself, and eventually broke with Thayer altogether. That hurt Thayer, both because Dreiser had collected a great deal of material on Fort and his estate inherited material from Fort's wife, Anna, after she died in 1937—which had prompted much of the legal wrangling.
"Our good member, Mrs. Jennie S. Thomas, has sent us a letter which you wrote to her on April 30, in which you suggest I address you, personally, with a view toward acquiring Mr. Dreiser's Fort material for the Society.
Before anything else, please let me say with all the sincerity any man ever felt, that I have regretted nothing in my life so much as the inability of Mr. Dreiser and myself to work together amicably in this effort which was so important to us both. I never ceased to hope that he would lose his resentment of me in view of what the Society was accomplishing for Charles Fort's work and fame.
I sympathize with you deeply in your loss, and I hope that you are receiving some solace from the triumph of The Bulwark.
Immediately I knew of Mr. Dreiser's death, I addressed Arthur Leonard Ross, formerly attorney for Mr. Dreiser [and the lawyer involved in the 1937 negotiations], asking him how to address you. He said he forwarded my letter to you, but it must have miscarried.
Surely you will agree with me that the place for the Dreiser-Fort correspondence is in the archives of the Fortean Society, which Mr. Dreiser helped to found. If, upon examination, the material appeared to be publishable, we should like to arrange that, with a division of royalties between yourself and the Society.
We could not concur with Mr. Dreiser's attempt to turn over the Fort notes to a university. They would have been buried for all time. Charles Fort fought scholasticism all his life. He willed his notes to us, to keep them alive and active. This has been my trust and my responsibility and I have prosecuted it to the best of my ability, at great personal expense in time and money for sixteen years.
I do not know if Mr. Dreiser and you have kept abreast of our progress, but I should be happy to bring you up to date on all details if you wish.
That certainly sounds like Thayer had his hands on the material, whatever it was. But it's unclear that he actually did have it in his possession, versus just believing it would be coming to him. Because as of now, Thayer's material, which is at the New York Public Library, and was only dug up by Damon Knight when he was finally writing the first biography of Fort, has none of the Dreiser-Fort material. Dreiser's papers, however, at the University of Pennsylvania, does however, including the correspondence with Thayer himself. As Knight notes, Thayer's concern that Fort's material would disappear if given to a university was ill-founded, since that material has always been available, but Thayer's own papers were hard to find, and if he did ever make a start on that biography, well that was lost after his death.
The last mention of Helen Dreiser in the pages of Doubt came the following month, Doubt 50 (1955). It was a brief announcement of her death.
Fittingly, then, the first two biographies of Fort were damned to never see the light of day.
"E. A. Dickerson, 60, a widower and keeper of a rooming house." This is not a male in the 1900 census but a female. Born Esther "Etta" Ann Schanab/Schnepp she first married David Parks and then Samuel Turner Dickerson. I was doing genealogy for a friend and ran into the Esther Helen Patges marrying Theodore Dreiser by accident. The census you are quoting is very difficult to read so this is the problem. I knew who she was before I saw the census record.

Samuel Butler Poems
Hudibras, Part I (excerpts)
The Metaphysical Sectarian
Samuel Butler Bio
Samuel Butler was a 17th century English poet who favoured a satirical, sometimes humorous style of writing. He is best known for an epic piece of work that cruelly satirised sectarian religions. Hudibras was begun in 1658 and two further parts were written and published, the final section not been completed until 20 years after it had begun. The diarist Samuel Pepys, having bought the first two parts, acknowledged that while this work was undoubtedly of the "greatest fashion" he could not quite see why so many people described it as "witty". Butler had many admirers though, including King Charles II himself. In fact the King was so impressed with the work that he awarded the writer an annual pension of £100 per annum. Alas, Butler still managed to die in poverty for reasons that are not clear.
It is believed, though not confirmed, that Samuel Butler was born in February 1613 in the small town of Strensham, in the county of Worcestershire. He had a fairly modest upbringing, being the son of a farmer, but his family found the money to send him to the Kings School in Worcester. He may have attended university afterwards. As well as being a keen writer of verse he was also a painter, though his art did not find much favour amongst critics and art lovers alike. Indeed it was once said of his art that "his pictures served to stop windows and save the tax", meaning that they were a good substitute for filling in the window frames instead of paying window tax.
Although Butler wrote a great deal of poetry he never seemed to make much money out of it and supplemented his income with such appointments as steward to the Earl of Carberry at Ludlow Castle in Shropshire. He was responsible for helping to restore the castle to its former glory having been sacked by the Parliamentarian forces during the Civil War. This period of employment coincided with the publication of the first part of Hudibras but he left Ludlow shortly after, in the early part of 1662.
Although the King favoured Butler's work it was not enough to gain him a place at Court. In 1670 he found employment with the Duke of Buckingham, accompanying him on a diplomatic assignment in France. His great satirical work occupied much of his time though and it was certainly an indictment of the great religious fervour of that time. He was influenced in his writing by other satirists such as Paul Scarron and John Skelton.
Unfortunately very little of his work apart from Hudibras saw the light of day during his lifetime. He wrote a number of humorous pieces though, an example being The Elephant in the Moon. This is a story almost certainly way before its time, describing the monitoring by telescope of the Moon. Warring factions are "known" to reside on and below the Moon's surface but the poem ends with the revelation that an incredibly large elephant-like creature can be seen. Here is the last verse:
The truth is though that a mouse had become trapped in the lens of the telescope, thus fooling the viewer into believing it was something quite different!
Samuel Butler died in September 1680, aged 67. Such was his stature as a writer that he was buried in St Paul's Cathedral with a monument in his honour being placed in Westminster Abbey.

Q: In a text input control, how do I replace delete with backspace and vice versa? The requirement is: In a text input control, when the user presses 'delete' key, the default outcome should be prevented (that is possible with e.preventDefault()) and instead the 'backspace' event should be triggered.
In other words: on a text input control, when the user presses delete key in his keyboard, he should see the effect of pressing backspace key in his keyboard.
For example, you have the text "REACT" in the text input control.  With cursor in between 'A' and 'C', you press delete key in your keyboard, it should remove 'A' but not 'C'.
How do we achieve this in Reactjs?

A: Refer This Code! Delete is replace by Backspace hope this will help you.

        class Todo extends React.Component {
        constructor(props){
          super(props);
          this.state={
            value:''
          }
        }

        handleChange=(e)=>{
          this.setState({
            ...this.state,
            value:e.target.value
          })
        }

        onDelete= (e)=>{
          if(e.keyCode === 46)
          {
            e.target.setSelectionRange(e.target.selectionStart-1,e.target.selectionStart);
          }

        }

        render(){
          return (
          <React.Fragment>
            <input
                 value={this.state.value}
                 onChange={(e)=>this.handleChange(e)}
                 onKeyDown={(e)=>this.onDelete(e)}
                 name = 'txt'
           />
            you type:{this.state.value}
           </React.Fragment>
        )}
        }
        ReactDOM.render(<Todo />, document.getElementById('root'));;

A: You can use the library for keyboard event in react https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-keyboard-event-handler.
Like
<KeyboardEventHandler
handleKeys={['delete']}
onKeyEvent={(key, e) => /*Your functionality*/}

/>

A: function keyDownEvent(event) {
        var key = event.keyCode;
        if (key == "46") {
            var InputValue = $("#TestInput").val();
            InputValue = InputValue.substr(0, InputValue.length - 1);
            $("#TestInput").val(InputValue);
        }
    }

 <input type="text" id="TestInput" onkeydown="keyDownEvent(event)" />

try this code..

A: This is what you want, i think
React Hooks version
function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState("");

  function removeAtIndex(str, index) {
    return str.substring(0, index - 1) + str.substring(index);
  }

  function onChange(event) {
    setValue(event.target.value);
  }

  function onKeyDown(event) {
    if (event.key === "Delete" || event.key === "Backspace") {
      event.preventDefault();
      const { value: str, selectionStart: i } = event.target;
      const index = event.key === "Delete" ? i : i + 1;
      setValue(removeAtIndex(str, index));
    }
  }

  return (

      <input {...{ onChange, value, onKeyDown }} />

  );
}

React Component version
class App2 extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { value: "" };
  }

  removeAtIndex = (str, index) => {
    return str.substring(0, index - 1) + str.substring(index);
  };

  onChange = event => {
    this.setState({ value: event.target.value });
  };

  onKeyDown = event => {
    if (event.key === "Delete" || event.key === "Backspace") {
      event.preventDefault();
      const { value: str, selectionStart: i } = event.target;
      const index = event.key === "Delete" ? i : i + 1;
      this.setState({ value: this.removeAtIndex(str, index) });
    }
  };
  render() {
    return (

        <input
          onChange={this.onChange}
          value={this.state.value}
          onKeyDown={this.onKeyDown}
        />

    );
  }
}

A: you just update the input value and append a space to it:

const onKeyDown = (e)=>{
 e.preventDefault()
 if(e.key==='Delete')
  e.target.value += " "
// ...rest
// or update the state(recommended if you have a controlled input)
}


Yikes. It may take me some time before I warm up to these new guys, and though I'm sure the cakes made with the "new" TMNT in mind will be nice, I'm gonna stick to the original for my rendition. Who knows? If I see the movie and enjoy it(not likely, but I can dream) then maybe I will make an updated TMNT cupcake/cake. In the meantime, here is how I made the ORIGINAL, old-school version. As always, we will need a guide or photo for reference. Here's the pic I used as a guide. I'll be using the usual cake tool suspects for these cupcakes: exacto knife, small rolling pin, clay sculpting tools and various colors of fondant. First things first. Let's cut out some green circles for the base of our cupcakes.
Ice and cover the cupcakes.
Attach it to the green cupcake base and make the indentations for the mouth using a clay tool.
Next, create the teeth using some white fondant and a black edible ink pen. Use an exacto knife to cut out the exact shape. Be sure to refer back to the photo as needed. Make the bandana by rolling out some blue fondant and folding it a couple of times. Attach it with some edible glue and cut off the excess and save it for the next step.
Get two toothpicks and the excess fondant from the bandana. Carefully wrap the fondant around the toothpicks, about halfway across the length. You might want to use edible glue to make sure the fondant stays put.
Before I placed the eyes, I created some indentations in the bandana using a ball tool. Once again, I made the eyes using white fondant and black edible ink pen.

Q: Why function that use fs.stat doesn't return value? I have this sample on node version 4.2.1:
'use strict';

const fs = require('fs');

function getFilesizeInBytes(filename) {
    fs.stat(filename, (err, stats) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log('inner: ' + stats.size);
        return stats.size;
    }); }

console.log('outer: '+ getFilesizeInBytes(__filename));

As result I have this output:
outer: undefined
inner: 325

Why outer is 'undefined'? How to fix it?

Texas Will Now Require Aborted Fetuses To Be Cremated Or Buried
Chris ZoisTwitterNews Writer
On Monday, Texas officials announced that remains of aborted fetuses must be either cremated or buried, no matter the period of gestation. Current practices require health care facilities to dispose of aborted fetal remains in sanitary landfills, through third-party special waste services.
The new rules, which go into effect December 19, come after the state held numerous public comments sessions, and Texas health officials received more than 35,000 comments when the issue came to the forefront in July. The Texas Tribune reports how Governor Greg Abbott approved the new proposal, which he believes "enhance[s] protection of the health and safety of the public." Abbot added that fetal remains shouldn't be "treated like medical waste and disposed of in landfills."
But there are some caveats. Burial and cremation will not be required in the case of a miscarriage or if the abortion is carried out at home. And for purposes of confidentiality, the new rules will not require birth or death certificates.
However, several reproductive rights and health groups are pushing back at the new rules. Medical providers, such as Texas Medical Association and the Texas Hospital Association, are concerned about increased costs. Health care facilities and not patients would be responsible for these costs, which would be "offset by the elimination of some current methods of disposition." Heather Busby, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, believes lawmakers made a hasty decision: "The state agency has once again ignored the concerns of the medical community and thousands of Texans by playing politics with people's private healthcare decisions." The Texas Tribune indicates that the changes will likely be disputed in court.
The new rules are likely to be challenged in court. In a letter sent to health officials, lawyers with the Center for Reproductive Rights warned that the proposal "will almost certainly trigger costly litigation." While the center did not take immediate legal action, senior staff attorney David Brown on Monday said the rule was "an unnecessary burden and an intrusion" on a woman's "personal beliefs."
"These new restrictions reveal the callous indifference that Texas politicians have toward women," Brown said.
