Every night when I go home, I spend my commute panicking over whether my roommates forget to close the door again or not! Walking into an open door at midnight has become a regular thing, so I decided to make a device that would remind them to close the door when I'm not around.
To find out more go to this Instructable.
Hi everyone! I'm making an alarm that lets you know when you forget to either lock the door or close it, as my roommates always forget to do it and I come home to an open door at 1 am or find our door wide open as I leave in the morning. This has given me so many micro heart attacks!
The alarm will be trigger by two prompts the first one when there's no contact between the door and frame, the second one when it's closed but not locked. The idea is it will make a sound and show light, also in case they are too distracted or something, it will send either a text message, give them call with a pre-recorded message or block their phone until they close and lock the door. I haven't figured out what will be more efficient to get their attention.
2.- Lazy-eye patch timer: My niece has a lazy eye and has to wear a patch for an hour each day. She allways forgets to either time it or wear it. The idea is to have a button, and once she presses it the timer would start, the button would the release a patch and a card to play a sort of Tetris – lego game that I can remember what is called. The game helps improve her 3D vision and keep her mind of the fact that she is wearing a patch. once the timer is of she should have finished the game.
3. Plant nanny: I recently bought a plant, because I missed having a garden, the problem is I always neglect my plants. The idea is to have a light, and a reminder sent throughout the day to help me of either water it, take it to het some sun or talk to it.
Pattern (first one): After making this one I realized my original measurements were not working because the handle was too short and the sides were not rigid enough, I either have to put another material like wire or cardboard or make a second wall with fabric and then saw a division to create de angle to shift the direction of light towards the ground, the second wall would also serve as the battery and wires hiding space. So my new pattern should look something like the image below.
Prototype: After making the prototype I noticed the footprints were not as defined as I thought they would look, so I have to make another footprint hole on the back overlap and have it perfectly match with the original hole or change my fabric to one that diffuses light and cast shadows in a better way. Also, I made a tiny prototype which I think made it more difficult to get the dimensions and shadows right, however, it gave me an idea of how to add structure and how to play with shadows to make my light diffusion appear clearer.
Circuit Diagram: I realized I don't need bigger LEDs it could work with same size LEDs, I just have to make sure to pick the right fabric.

Q: Meaning of "catch birds for"? I am reading B. Traven's adventure The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which is about three men who secretly go prospecting for gold. On their way home with their new-found loot they cover their tracks by tearing down their mining camp. Howard (the most experienced of the party) verbally beams with pride over a job well done. Dobbs, another member, takes offense at Howard's response. The quoted section can be found here:

The mine was leveled to the satisfaction of Howard. Anybody now coming upon the mine by chance would never think that a mine had been worked here, or if at all, not during the last hundred years.
"Doesn't it give you guys a real joy to look at the place now?" Howard asked with pride in his voice.
"All right," Dobbs said, "you have it your way and you feel happy, so please, for the love of Mike's booze, leave us in peace with your feelings. Sometimes I think you must have been a preacher, only the hell of it is I can't figure out what church it was you wanted to catch birds for."

When I found a definition of bird (Definition 5.a) that is slang for fellow, I took Dobbs' words to catch birds for to be reminiscent of the Christian saying fisher of men, meaning the minister is actively looking for people to convert. In past conversations, Dobbs has been known to use slang like mug to refer to people. But being more familiar with the usages meaning a young woman or a person, especially one who is odd or remarkable, I thought this usage unlikely and continued to look for another.
So I wondered if Dobbs was making an allusion to bird dogs, who retrieve birds for their masters. (One might say a minister retrieves the lost for a higher power, a superior in the church or for God.) This could be an insult to Howard, the slight being that Howard would be a subordinate instead of the senior/equal he was when mining with Dobbs. This insult makes sense in this context, because Dobbs has a history of viewing Howard as a taskmaster, as shown by Dobbs's outburst when he cuts his own hand at the beginning of the chapter. But this analogy of bird dogs seems tenuous and elaborate.
I've searched Google for "catching birds," but the most relevant results are the proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." I wondered if Dobbs was speaking of some duty, tradition, or superstition associated with ministers, but I have found nothing.
What does "to catch birds for" mean?

A: I imagine it's an echo of this expression (as defined by OED)...

(strictly) for the birds
   trivial, worthless; appealing only to gullible people. orig. and chiefly U.S. colloq.

Dobbs clearly isn't interested in anything Howard has to say. He's implying that despite Howard's "evangelical" enthusiasm, nobody else would be interested either, except gullible people as above.
OP is on the right track with bird = fellow - but here it's specifically birdbrained (stupid) fellows. The word catch is also used figuratively here (Dobbs means interest, draw in, captivate, impress).

A: It could be that in the US Catholic priests used to capture doves before celebrating Easter, and then released them at the end of the Holy Mass to symbolise the ascension of the Holy Spirit.
In Italy there are several festivals that celebrate Easter by releasing doves in the air. I was wondering if they did the same in the US.
La Madonna Che Scappa in Piazza - Abruzzo Region

Sulmona, in the Abruzzo region, celebrates Easter Sunday with "La
Madonna Che Scappa in Piazza"
"On Easter Sunday people dress in green and white, colors of peace,
hope, and resurrection, and gather in the main piazza. The woman
playing the Virgin Mary is dressed in black. As she moves to the
fountain, doves are released and the woman is suddenly dressed in
green.

I found this Youtube clip filmed at Santa Jose, 2013, entitled: "The releasing of the holy ghost doves today." Skip to the 3.40 mark to see the dove being freed. The video is very dull and amateurish but it proves (to me) that even today, in some parts of the US, this tradition still carries on.
EDIT:

I think you must have been a preacher, only the hell of it is I can't figure out what church it was you wanted to catch birds for.

Dobbs insults Howard by calling him a preacher this leads me to speculate that Dobbs was not "born" in the Catholic faith, (priests are not normally referred to as preachers) however, by mentioning birds and asking who Howard caught them for, it is possible that either he was familiar with the Easter festival tradition of releasing live doves in  the air or maybe he was attempting to cover up his background by ridiculing his (plausible) religious upbringing.
Not having read the book I can only make suppositions, but the dots do connect.

1966 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead Custom: Uncle Pat's '66
- in Bikes
Over 20 years ago Pat Gerk left this world and his family with a long tradition of time on the road.
He'd been a biker for years with tons of hours logged in the saddle. His nephew, Tommy Gerk, the owner at Tekni-Kolor, shared that love for running in the wind, which is probably why he inherited this '66 Pan/Shovel from his departed uncle.
Things weren't always like that, though. When Tommy and his brothers were growing up, his uncles were dedicated riders. The boys champed at the bit to hit the road on their own iron, but their dad wouldn't allow it until they were grown up and out of the house. When you think about it, that's a hell of a motivation not to live in your parents basement all of your life.
Time passed, the boys grew up, left home, and finally started street riding. Everything was good until Pat passed away leaving Tommy the legacy of the basket case '66 in his garage. The old warhorse was in pretty bad shape. It sat in pieces waiting for the day Tommy would get it back to its former glory.
Tommy decided the greatest thanks he could give Pat would be making the bike a rolling tribute to his uncle. He recalled of his uncle, "He was an old-school guy who got into riding in the '80s. It was a different time, before the credit-card bikers."
The Gerk brothers started by breaking the bike the rest of the way down so they could build it back up. Tommy says they wanted to redo the Pan/Shovel as an '80s-style Harley in green, "Even though green is kind of a bad luck thing for bikes, but he was a bad luck kind of guy anyway." Of course, the fact that Pat was born on Saint Patrick's Day had more to do with the color choice than any sort of commentary on the green-as-bad-luck tradition, though.
Giving this machine the '80s treatment also meant chrome, chrome, and more chrome, as chrome ponies were the flavor of choice back then. The candy green/teal Teknikolor Kustoms laid down on the metalwork really pops with all that shine, too. A guy who only goes by the name of Roary set off the green with just the right amount of gold and silver leaf on the tanks, fenders, and air cleaner.
Reinventing Pat's old steed was a long trip paid for with 10 years' time, a lot of wheeling and dealing, and a healthy dose of outside help. Chicago Joe and Danny Ray were enlisted to clean up and rebuild the motor. You can credit Pat Durling for the sweet, smooth slash-cut exhaust system. He custom-made it just for this project.
Restoration was the name of the game for a lot more of this project, too. Its frame, drive system, and transmission are all the original articles. The chassis got color-matched to the sheetmetal to really pull the whole look together. What didn't stay stock was the bodywork and bars. You can't have a true chrome pony without apes. Teknikolor Kustoms added in some sweet 18-inch hangers bracketed by Ness grips.
You can also credit Teknikolor for how smoothly the stretched gas tank melds with the front of the seat. Tommy's fenders of choice were a set from Arlen Ness that are a lot cleaner than the stock units the bike was born with. The rear is bookended by Harley bags that Teknikolor stretched to align better with the slash-cut muffler ends. They topped it with a lower-profile two-up custom saddle that's a great compromise between comfort and smooth lines.
When it was all said and done, you'd think Tommy would have mounted up and rode off into the sunset, reminded of his dear uncle every time he went for a ride. The truth is a little better than that. Instead of keeping this awesome Pan/Shovel for himself, he shared it with the same man who, all those years ago, wouldn't let him go riding in the first place.
Not only does Pat's old bike keep his memory alive, it's become a way for his oldest brother (aka Tommy's dad) to hang out with his boys. After the bike was rebuilt, Tommy and his brothers gave it to their dad so he could ride in the pack. If you're going to spend an inheritance, there are few better ways than paying it forward to the man who brought you into the world and raised you.

Trump visits Iowa to celebrate empty E15 rule
By J.D. Scholten
"They stabbed us in the back," said a board member of a local ethanol plant when telling me what President Trump and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were doing to Iowa biofuels.
He had watched as then-Secretary Pruitt received a standing ovation at a Renewable Energy event in Iowa. Two weeks later, Pruitt began giving secret waivers to oil and gas companies, favors that would allow Fortune 500 companies to avoid blending renewable biofuels into our nation's auto fuel supply under waivers called "small refinery exemptions" (SREs).
These handouts to the oil industry have diverted 2.5 billion gallons of gasoline from the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) blending requirements. That's more than 200 million cars without access to a cleaner, more affordable fuel grown and produced in our backyard. The waivers are meant for small oil refineries experiencing undue economic hardship — instead they're going to billion-dollar companies like Exxon and Chevron.
Trump's secret waivers come at a huge expense for Iowans at a time when we're facing hardships — multiple years of low commodity prices, market consolidation, floods that halted rail shipments and left farmers dealing with wet grain, and unstable trade agreements that have major long-term consequences. These waivers add extreme pain in rural America, and Trump's EPA doesn't plan on slowing down. Not a single waiver request has been denied, and there's no transparency to account for the unprecedented and reckless giveaways to oil and gas companies. The Trump administration recently approved sale of E15 all year round — but does that mean in the face of these waivers? Not much when 40 waivers are sitting with EPA, waiting to see if they'll be given the same favor as Exxon and Chevron.
Just five of Trump's waivers drove down corn demand by 900 million bushels, costing farmers up to 40 cents a bushel. This abuse is threatening good jobs and biomanufacturing. That's a massive trade-off to help oil companies, some of which rake in $20 billion in profits each year. In comparison, 2018 was the first time in 20 years that U.S. ethanol use fell, and farm income is declining for yet another year. This bleak record is not what President Trump promised to Iowa voters.
No honest person can answer where ethanol will be in 20 years, which is why we need to fight for it today. Oil and gas companies have had the upper hand in energy markets for a century. They get billions in government subsidies and make tens of billions in profits each year. Clearly, they have the means to put the squeeze on elected officials.
So, with billions on top of billions, why are oil and gas companies lining up to demand Trump waivers? Because renewable ethanol is a promising option for a greener future and for cars and jets. The Navy knows this; that's why it's participated in programs that invest in renewable energy for military operations. Consumers know it; ethanol saves us approximately a dollar per gallon when oil spikes overseas.
Our energy future needs an alternative to oil and gas. Ethanol emits 43 percent less greenhouse emissions compared to traditional gas. And, producers are innovating every day to add value to biofuels and ag manufacturing — doing more with less and stabilizing markets for farmers.
Rural communities need investments. But Trump treats economic drivers in our communities like an afterthought. Trump promised Iowans the farm and the kitchen sink, but his policies on trade, antitrust, family farms and biofuels are hurting farmers and our economy.
Even a Texas Republican with deep roots in the oil industry knew it was important to diversify our fuel mix, grow renewable fuel, and create jobs across the Midwest. President Bush signed the RFS to give biofuels a path forward and make sure that oil and gas did not have total sovereignty over the energy market. Yet here they are controlling President Trump when it comes to renewable biofuel blending. Just think, if Pepsi controlled Coke, how well would Coke do?
Unlike oil companies, rural communities aren't asking for a hand-out or for favors. We're asking for market access. We're asking elected leaders to pay attention and work with us on policies that will revitalize the quality of life in our rural communities. Demand that Trump end his reckless waivers, and let E15 do some good.

Synopsis: The Traitor´s Emblem
VII City of Torrevieja Award for Novel
The Straits of Gibraltar, 1940. At the epicentre of a storm, Captain González rescues a group of German castaways. When the storm subsidies, the leader gives him in gratitude a solid gold emblem. In their brief exchange there are two words the captain will not forget: betrayal and salvation. The emblem will be the centre of Paul's adventures. Paul is a young orphan who lives with his mother and uncles, the Von Schroeder baron. A strange revelation regarding the death of his father will unleash a dangerous investigation in Munich. Not even his love for Alys, an intrepid Jewish photographer, will put an end to his determination to find out what really happened to his father. But what Paul ignores is that his inquiries will bring about unpredictable consequences and will forever change the destiny of those who surround him. Freemasonry, Nazism, love and betrayal blend in a thriller full of surprises in the quest for truth and the steep price paid to attain it.

A War To Help The Libyan People?
Speaking in London this week Barak Obama warned that Qaddafi must 'stand down and leave Libya to the Libyan people.' It was another fine example of the doublespeak Obama is famous for. Obama certainly has no intention of leaving Libya to the Libyans. He intends to help BP, Total and Fina steal their oil.
In March the UN Security Council authorized a military 'no fly zone' allegedly to protect Libyan civilians in response to reports Qaddafi was about to butcher those in Benghasi who had rebelled against him - inspired no doubt by the uprisings in neighbouring Egypt and Tunisia. But NATO's military action has escalated from enforcing a defensive 'no fly zone' to become in effect the armed wing of the Libyan rebels. British, American, Italian and French aircraft have been bombarding and killing Libyans for over two months now flying 6,000 'sorties' and firing more than 250 Cruise missiles. Britain alone is on course to spend £1billion on the conflict.
NATO commanders admit killing Qadaffi and replacing him with a more pliant, pro-western alternative is now their main objective. This is not only beyond the terms of UN Resolution 1973 it is expressly prohibited under international law. Yet 'regime change' in Libya is precisely what warmongering Obama has in mind. He has deemed 'all legitimate military targets' to include Qadaffi's official Government residencies. A bloody civil war now looms in a country divided between NATO backed rebels in the east and Libyan Government forces in the west.
Several important questions arise from NATO's latest war. Uppermost among them perhaps is how Qaddafi has survived in the face of such overwhelming military odds? The continuing loyalty of his armed forces is one factor but his ability to play on the deep-seated hatred for western Imperialism and the United States in particular has been even more crucial. The civilian population of Tripoli for example has predictably been drawn in behind Qaddafi by its hatred for Western Imperialism, NATO and their daily bombardment.
BBC and SKY News reporters go out of their way to deny the seething contempt that exists towards Western Imperialism throughout the region. Thankfully there are superior news agencies which convey how the Arab masses see the invasion of Iraq, the occupation of Afghanistan and the persecution of the Palestinians as an affront to democracy, international law and to themselves.
For half a century the US has backed every tyrant and despot in the area. Obama continued with this strategy until the 'Arab Spring' began. Western Imperialism stood full square behind tyrants like Mubarak. The uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Bahrain have rather exposed them. And it ill behoves Obama to claim, as he did in London this week, that Britain and the United States are the worlds 'moral guardians'.
Britain and the US never saw the Arab Spring coming far less fostered it as Obama tries to imply. Therefore NATO's support for the rebels based in Benghasi, the self styled Transitional Council, will hardly ingratiate them to the rest of the Libyan population.
The Libyan Transitional Council are in truth a mixed bunch. They have legitimate grievances against Qaddafi having faced years of discrimination and under development. But they belong to
tribes common only in Eastern Libya who have always been hostile to Qaddafi. Many of them call for the restoration of the disgraced King Idris whom Qaddafi overthrew in a popular uprising in 1969. Idris was a corrupt, brutal and above all plaint western stooge every bit as hated as Qaddafi. He was famous for the deals he signed with Western oil companies – British, French and Italian – wherein Libya received the lowest rate in the world for a barrel of oil taken from its deserts. Al Qaeda are also reported to be involved in the rebel group (they have long been sworn enemies of Qaddafi) although not a significant size.
And of course oil is at the heart of all Obama's calculations. The French have been the most belligerent of all voices on Libya. It's clear their motivation is not humanitarian but the prospect of securing precious oil fields across the rich Libyan dessert.
Whilst Qaddafi is without doubt an idiosyncratic despot who rules, not through democratic structures as he claims, but via a rigged political system aided by a ruthless police state funded by the country's huge oil wealth. Nonetheless he has never been tamed by Western Imperialism and they now see their chance. 'Regime change' however for democrats remains the sole and inviolate right of the Libyan people alone, not NATO, not the USA, not Britain nor anyone else.
Obama, Cameron, Sarkosy and Berlusconi are not motivated by humanitarian concern for the Libyan people they aim to impose yet another puppet who will promise them access to the huge oil reserves in the Libyan desert. This conflict then is not a war to help the Libyan people its a war to help BP steal their oil.
Scotland's Political Climate Changes Utterly
As landslides go the 2011 Holyrood election was huge. Scotland has been shaken to its political foundations as voters again voiced their contempt for the Tories, their coalition partners the Lib-Dems and New Labour. The Scotsman described Thursday's result as a 'victory of hitherto unthinkable proportions' for the SNP. Even The Scotsman can be right some of the time!
In truth the extent of the victory surprised even the SNP. They emerged with 45% of the vote [their largest ever], 69 seats [out of 129] and the first overall majority in Holyrood's history. At counts across the country SNP candidates arrived expecting third or fourth place and walked out hours later 'as the newly elected MSP for the said constituency'. The front page of Saturdays Edinburgh Evening News said it all. It led with a photograph of the newly elected MSP for Edinburgh Southern emerging from a bookmakers with his £750 winnings after he put £50 on himself to win at 14/1 just a fortnight ago. That former Lib Dem seat was, according to all received wisdom, Labour's for the taking.
It is impossible to underplay the scale of the SNP victory. Even the 'certainties' of the D'Hont PR system employed to distribute Holyrood seats were swept aside. So many people voted for the SNP on Thursday that after wining all the constituency seats in some regions they also got MSPs on the same regional list! Legends are made of this. The SNP's message, albeit deceitful, that 'the list vote elects the First Minister' brought them huge dividends.
The SNP's sophisticated, multi-million pound election campaign, with its navigational tools for activists and social networking operations completely outstripped the once powerful Labour machine. Pollsters YouGov report that 80,000 Labour voters across Scotland switched to the SNP in the final 36 hours in disgust at its increasingly negative campaign and incessant targeted mail shots. When they had constituency activists on the ground Labour knew when to leave people well alone!
BELEAGERED and BELABOURED
Can it really only be a year since every Labour MP in Scotland increased their majority? This time the all-conquering Labour Party of Lowland Scotland fell to pieces like a Laurel and Hardy car. If definitive and final proof were needed that people vote one way in Westminster elections and another for Holyrood this is it.
In Labour's Central belt 'heartlands' its seats toppled like ninepins. And comparing Thursday's results with the notional results from 2007 [itself a bad night for Labour] does not sufficiently explain the scale of their collapse. A better comparison would be to look at how Labour's five figure majorities from last year poured into the SNP corner.
Labour imagined the Lib Dem protest vote would go to them, so why didn't it? The answer is that Labour like the Con-Dem Coalition also support public spending cuts and tuition fees. They offered no real alternative. Former Lib-Dem voters were also seduced by Salmond's claims of managerial competency at Holyrood. These SNP's achievements in wooing disenchanted Liberals should not be regarded lightly. There is little love lost between the two parties, but on this occasion the support the SNP won from the Lib-Dems was the difference between winning and winning an overall majority.
As it turned out even the so-called 'rogue' poll of April 21st ,which first suggested the SNP had an overall majority, underestimated their support. And let's not forget that Labour started this election campaign with a 15% lead!
The fact is Salmond attracted votes not just from disaffected Lib Dems, but also Labour, Green, Tory and SSP supporters too.
EPHEMERAL OR EARTH SHATTERING
The central question is how much of this change is ephemeral, a one off, a freak result, and how much of it has broken the political mould?
Those who tentatively suggest the former must reckon with the 5-year term the SNP majority now has in this Parliament. That's certainly not superficial. Neither is the scale of Labour's collapse.
On the other hand those who suggest we are now in permanent new territory must ask how can the SNP keep seats like Edinburgh Pentlands and Edinburgh West when they have virtually no activists there and little natural support as its political opponents wait to pounce? And what will be the consequences in next years Council elections after a year of public spending cuts?
There are those of course who argue that the result on May 5th illustrates a certain 'political promiscuity' by voters who voted for Labour in huge numbers last year and opted for the SNP equally emphatically this time. This demonstrates, so it is argued, an inherent volatility in politics because there are no ideological differences between the 4 establishment parties. And this is certainly true if you examine Alex Salmond's economic programme, his business plan, or international policy in regards to say Libya or Afghanistan. And the public spending cuts which he delayed until after this election sit in his in tray awaiting his scissors.
THE CUTS
Above all it is the issue of the cuts which will now test Salmond's popularity most. Popularity levels like his can only go one way. Ask Nick Clegg! And the SNP has very difficult choices now to make during continued economic stagnation. It faces making severe public spending cuts. And it has as a party no compunction in voting for them, unlike the SSP. It votes through cuts every day in Councils across Scotland and it will do so again at Holyrood. Of course Salmond will try valiantly to pin the blame on Cameron and Clegg. And rightly so, but in the end he will not fight the cuts, he will make them. That brings huge public opposition and with it huge opportunities for the left.
Salmond must make £3bn of cuts over 5 years and these will be severe and unpopular. A shrewd and cunning political operator he might be - look at the way he announced his five year Council tax freeze for example at the same time as he unceremoniously and largely unnoticed dumped the SNP's commitment to an income based alternative- but he will make them nonetheless.
Neither will an SNP Government confront the employing classes or redistribute the great wealth of Scotland. Salmond may be a populist but he will defend the interests of big business in Scotland as mercilessly as anyone else.
The message from the people of Scotland to Alex Salmond however remains unequivocal - these cuts are utterly unnecessary and indefensible and he must fight them! The economic crisis wasn't caused by the greed and recklessness of working people and the poor after all.
'The SNP has been good for Scotland' boasted Salmond defending his 4 year record at Holyrood. But which Scotland does he mean? The 200 businessmen who endorsed him on polling day? Sir David Murray? Sir Jackie Stewart? Sir Tom Farmer? The Scottish Sun and News of the World whom also blessed him with an endorsement? The Scottish Sunday Express? They all believe the SNP has been good for them and that's why they backed Salmond on Thursday!
'Alex Salmond has been good for Scotland' they said in unison 'That's why we support his re-election as First Minister.' John Swinney welcomed their backing and said 'Captains of Industry have benefited from the SNP.'
The Sunday Times Rich List came out at the weekend and what's remarkable about the table of Scots billionaires and millionaires is the number who came out last week in support of the SNP. As New Labour found to its cost you can support the millionaires or you can support the millions. Getting it wrong has devastating consequences electorally.
So there's the rub. Millions of Scots voted for the SNP to fight the cuts and to stand up to the Tories but the SNP now supports a regressive council tax freeze, cutting corporation tax and cuts in public services, jobs, pay and £3.3bn off the budget over the next 5 years.
Undoubtedly the most profound impact of last weeks astonishing is made on the likelihood of a referendum on Independence. The SNP did not present the Bill in the last Parliament they said because they had no majority. Now they do. Independence just took a great leap forward as Mao might have said.
There is no doubt that the case for independence took a battering during the election campaign itself as the SNP leadership barely rose to its defence whilst the unionist parties, sensing a weakness in the SNP's armour, poured endless cold water on it. In these circumstance its little wonder the polls show support now down below 30%.
Supporters of Independence like the SSP therefore have a huge task on our hands to win the argument for Independence outside Holyrood in the pubs, clubs, community centres and workplaces across the land. But it can and must be done. The case for independence must be won before the referendum is called.
This offers an unprecedented opportunity for the left. The SNP is incapable of delivering a majority for independence on its own and to be fair it has acknowledged this frequently in the Independence Convention which the SSP joined.
It remains our job on the left to outline the alternative vision for independence. The alternative to neo-liberalism, warmongering, privatisation and profiteering. How many of the 69 SNP MSPs for example will protest at having to swear the oath of allegiance to the Queen? The party favours independence with the Queen as Head of State.
Alex Salmond is undoubtedly a shrew politician who closely courts popularity but he also supports the NATO attacks on Libya and the British occupation of Afghanistan. He also supports the monarchy and cutting corporation tax for employers and retaining the unfair Council tax. The SSP are better able to persuade progressive Scotland of the case for Independence.
Given the huge swing to the SNP which swept all before it, taking dozens of seats from Labour, Liberals, Tories and Greens [polls suggested the Greens could get 8 seats] alike it is hardly surprising the left's vote was squeezed on Thursday. We were also entirely eclipsed in the way the media covers this big money election.
The left was never at the races. In Glasgow George Galloway got 6,500 votes but never looked like winning and he has gone back to where he came from leaving nothing behind pretty much as usual. The Socialist Labour Party got the biggest left vote with 10,000 but they have been unable to coalesce the left in Scotland up to now and that will not change. The SSP vote [8,722] was also disappointing and down from 2007. This was inevitable after the fiasco of the Sheridan trial in January. Solidarity, as expected, were the biggest losers given their disgraced leaders incarceration for lying.
It is also true that nowadays the left's resources are minuscule compared to the millions spent by Labour and the SNP and this disparity makes an uneven contest all but impossible.
For the SSP and the left as a whole the task must be to build up support for the socialist case again and to act with others to establish new fresh ideas and a potent political base of support in communities, workplaces and amongst those fighting the cuts There will be many opportunities presented to us in the weeks, months and years to come. We need to roll up our sleeves and take the socialist case to new generations of political activists.
The electoral plain is but one of many in politics and the 2012 Council elections offer an opportunity for a breakthrough. But as SSP Councillor Jim Bollan put it to me during the election you have to lay foundations before you put up the walls and take your seat. This time last year I met the team behind Green MP Caroline Lucas's success in Brighton and asked them what they put their victory in getting Britain's first Green MP elected- down to. They each said '25 years hard work at ground level'. After last Thursday, the Greens are the biggest Party on Brighton and Hove Council.

Yesterday I Delivered This Speech At The Edinburgh May Day Rally
May Day 2011 will be remembered for the SNP's truly historic and extraordinary election victory at Holyrood. Like it or not the implications for the labour and trades union movement and for the prospects for socialism in Scotland are profound.
The overwhelming political issue of the moment remains the appalling cuts planned by the CON-DEM Coalition in London and their impact on the living standards of working people. The question is, can we rely on the SNP Government to fight those attacks, because that undoubtedly means confronting the employing classes and redistributing the great wealth of Scotland.
Our message to Alex Salmond today remains clear - these cuts are utterly unnecessary and indefensible AND HE MUST FIGHT THEM. We do not accept that an economic crisis caused by the greed and recklessness of our banks and global corporations means working people and the poor must suffer a severe cut in their living standards.
And let's make one thing clear. We are not 'all in this together'. Times are not hard for everyone - not when some are paying £25,000 a year for schooling their children at Fettes
- not when the Registers of Scotland reveal houses in Belmont Drive, Murrayfield, sell for £2.3m
- not when the Royal Bank of Scotland awards it's CEO a £7.7 million salary
- not when Edinburgh, with it's stark inequalities, remains the UK's 2nd richest city, with £3 trillion worth of equity managed here.
Yet David Cameron, Nick Clegg and David Milliband insist 'There have to be cuts in the standard of living of millions'. They are wrong. They are ideologically motivated. They intend to ensure the filthy rich keep their excessive wealth whilst the rest of us pay heavily for something we didn't do.
It's our job in this labour and trade union movement to outline the alternative, to explain that the books can easily be balanced by making alternative decisions;
- like ending the tax evasion which robs the country of £20 billion a year
- or raising corporation tax to the same level seen in the rest of Europe
- or scrapping Trident nuclear weapons to save £100 billion
- or ending the occupation of Afghanistan, which costs £5 billion a year
- or taking the banks' profits into public ownership, not just their debts and losses
- or replacing the council tax with an income based alternative to bring in another £1.5 billion.
This issue is about morality and justice. Those who caused the crisis should pay for it.
Not the poor, elderly, sick and disabled, nor the one in three children already living in poverty.
Not the 850,000 low paid workers earning a pittance in Scotland.
Not the pensioners struggling to get by on wholly inadequate incomes.
Alex Salmond is a very shrewd politician, but he supports the NATO attacks on Libya and he supports the British occupation of Afghanistan. He supports the monarchy and cutting Corporation Tax for employers whilst retaining the unfair Council Tax.
Working people have put the SNP on watch; Alex, will you implement Tory cuts or refuse?
Will you stand up for the 1 in 3 youngsters in Scotland living in poverty or ignore them again?
Will you help the 850,000 people struggling to get by on the National Minimum Wage as you tout Scotland around the world as a low wage economy?
How you answer these questions will truly determine whether our country has entered new ground or not.
Last month I joined half a million people in London on the TUC demonstration against the cuts entitled 'There is a better way'. Indeed there is, and the people of Scotland need it desperately.

Indian Police to Get Special Training to Spot Crypto Scams
1 week ago Daniel Kuhn
The Ministry of Home Affairs in India plans to provide an all-expenses paid police training session to create "domain expertise" in cryptocurrency-related crime, according to a government filing.
The two day course, titled "Investigation of Cases Involving Crypto Currencies," will cover a wide range of educational components, including an introduction to blockchain technology, a discussion of standing legal traditions, and interpretations of major crypto crimes.
The program is not mandatory, but officers will be nominated to attend the conference. Other participants will be drawn from a compiled list of officers who had expressed an interest in "cybercrime and IT."
India has become a center for crypto controversy amid planned government bans. The Reserve Bank of India decreed a de facto prohibition on banking relationships for crypto companies. This regulatory effort is currently facing arbitration in the Supreme Court.
Other government entities like The Department of Economic Affairs, Central Board of Direct Taxes, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority signed on to a draft bill titled "Banning of Cryptocurrencies and Regulation of Official Digital Currencies Bill 2019," for perceived issues of tax evasion, money laundering, and fraud inherent to cryptocurrencies.
Indeed, crypto crime has been an issue in the country. In June, Indian police arrested former BitConnect fraudster in connection to a fraudulent enterprise called Liberty Coin that promised investors 5,000-percent returns and did not deliver. Some victims that stepped forward claimed losses of tens of thousands of dollars.
The educational course will be available for police officers who report to the Inspector General of Police. Directors for the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Intelligence Bureau, the Narcotics Bureau, as well as many other chief executive figures received a copy of the training initiative document.
The investigative session is scheduled for the first week of September at the National Police Academy in Hyderabad.

Whistling, whispering, fork-tailed Death from Above!
Aircraft nicknames – fact or fantasy? (This pic is neither – it's sci-fi..)
This is one I've been meaning to do for a while now, and follows on from my Ladies From Hell post. If you can't be arsed to read that too, it's about the nicknames of certain infantry units that are supposedly bestowed by a terrified enemy, but actually seem to originate with their own side. In that case, evidence points to the kilted troops of the British Army and the "Devil Dogs" of the US Marines receiving theirs from the press. Once coined, the armed forces themselves were keen to adopt the morale-boosting, arse-kicking nicknames. These are by no means the only such nicknames though. The world of military aviation has spawned several famous ones from the Second World War, none of which are likely to have come from the enemy forces claimed. I finish with two modern examples that take us closer to an understanding of the reality behind the practice of nicknaming in war.
Whistling Death
First up is a name usually applied to the American F4U Corsair naval fighter (I've found no reference to those operated by the British Fleet Air Arm attracting this honour). The claim (for example here) is that it was the Japanese who came up with the name as a mark of respect and fear for its capabilities. The usual explanation for the specific name is that the fighter made an unusual whistling sound thanks to the position and design of its oil cooler intakes, which is quite true, though not a unique feature. This always sounded more like a Western expression to me, and a trawl of Google Books shows that variations on the theme go back pre-war, and indeed pre-First World War. Just as interestingly, the same source shows that the US Army and the Coast Guard were both still referring to falling artillery shells using the term, throughout WW2. I've yet to find any Japanese reference or source – I could blame the language barrier – just because I can't find it doesn't necessarily mean it's not out there in Japanese script, or even buried offline somewhere. But this author HAS had access to Japanese speakers, and he at least seems sure that it was an American idea, not a Japanese one:
"The gull-winged F4U had a ferocious reputation amongst the Americans, who
nicknamed it 'Whistling Death …."
And in fact it's that very difference in both language and culture that would make it surprising if the same expression/context had arisen independently for both. What would make more sense is if, as with the infantry nicknames, the nickname was one coined by the Allies themselves. Lending weight to this idea is this reference to a quite different (but equally whistly) machine, the B-26 Marauder – being given the same nickname. And with shades of the journalistic flair of "Devil Dogs", sure enough, the earliest source I can find is from a gung-ho home front propaganda piece in Time magazine , October 1943;
"Soon after the Corsair went into action in the Solomons, the Japanese had given it a nickname worthy of their language's tradition of poetical allusion: "Whistling Death." They had reason."
Notwithstanding this unsubstantiated claim, "Whistling Death" is most likely a part of the poetic tradition, but of the English-speaking nations. If you have evidence to the contrary, please do leave a comment below!
Whispering Death
Next, an alliterative variation on the same theme. "Whispering Death" was applied to the British Bristol Beaufighter fighter-bomber from, as far as I can determine, April 1943. Again the source is the press, though given the slightly sceptical tone, they seem to have picked it up from elsewhere as a rumour. There then followed, also in Flight magazine, a series of written-in post-hoc rationalisations for the name, which seems to have mystified some readers. The most popular explanation, even now, is that any high performance aircraft of the day might quietly surprise the enemy at low level. If so, why was the Beau the only one to receive it? Again, no sign of a Japanese source to back this up. For me, the most interesting thing is that though similar-sounding, Whistling and Whispering death respectively in fact express opposite sentiments/fears about attacking aircraft. Whilst different elements of the Japanese forces might hold these seemingly mutually exclusive opinions, it's worth noting the stereotypical mindset of the US and British fighting man. The former is often thought to be aggressive, fiercely patriotic and proud of his country's technological achievements (look, for example, at US nose art). The latter traditionally is more quietly confident in either his military hardware or his ability to overcome its limitations (witness the Fairey Swordfish being nicknamed "Stringbag"). I had thought it likely that journalists coined the phrases as bellicose and stoically effective expressions, respectively, of their nation's fighting prowess. But in the case of "Whispering Death", it's likely that British aircrew did name it – but in that characteristically ironic sense. A 1949 official publication, and latterly, authors including Chaz Bowyer have suggested that it originated as a mockery of the very press practices that I've been talking about. I won't quote from this excellent write-up summarising the evidence for this – I recommend reading the whole thing (scroll down). I think that the nickname might also have been a sarcastic reference Beaufighter's design pretensions as a dogfighting machine. If this origin is correct, it's equally ironic that "Whispering Death" had become a marketing tagline for Bristol Aircraft by 1945!
Fork-Tailed Devil
The last of my Second World War examples is the name given to the distinctive Lockheed P-38, another aircraft designed as a heavy fighter (and arguably more effective in that role than the previous aircraft). Earliest reference is once again the latter half of 1943, in Popular Science magazine. Here (along with the Flight mag snippets posted above and countless websites/forums etc today) we see the power of the enthusiast to propagate what is essentially rumour, simply because it sounds powerful and macho, just like the other names given in this post. This time "Nazi pilots" are cited, but yet again, no individuals or other sources are named – it's simply asserted with a good amount of relish, and a vaguely racist rendition of a hapless Japanese (note, not a German) pilot getting hosed by the "Devil"'s guns. Perhaps tellingly, the Engineering News Record then claims that both German AND Japanese pilots use the term! This is clearly exaggeration at the least (assuming either one did use the name), if not total BS. Were the Axis powers conferring on their cowardly conventions for naming enemy aircraft?! If this too is a piece of wartime propaganda (created by press or military), the modern-day US Air Force is still buying it.
La Muerte Negra
Bringing things up to date, there are also a host of modern claims to nicks like these (also on behald of enemy troops), like "Steel Rain" for the A-10 Warthog in the Gulf and even a re-emergance of "Whistling Death" for (of all things) the F-111 bomber in Vietnam! The only one I've seen that comes close to being what it purports to be is the 1982 Falklands War nickname for the British Sea Harrier fleet defence fighter – "La Muerte Negra". An Argentine source today claims that it was an ironic name, if anything mocking the enemy whilst acknowledging their superior resources. Sea Harrier pilot Sharkey Ward states in his memoir that the term originated on Argentine national radio – it's possible (though I really don't know) that they puts the fearful/respectful spin on things, to emphasise the threat that brave Argentine pilots were taking on. Or perhaps the British aircrew misjudged the tone of the phrase, thinking it an expression of fear, and this is why they chose to taunt their enemy using their own phrase "La Muerte Negra, eesa cooooming!" (to quote Ward's book). Either way, it's not a case of our own side inventing the name – the enemy in this case really did coin the phrase, albeit with different intentions.
The Mosquito?!
Most interestingly, the only other verified use of a nickname for an Allied aircraft by their enemy that I've ever come across is also the most recent – the Taliban frequently refer to British and other nations' Apache gunships as "Mosquitoes". Now, clearly a handful of men with Kalashnikovs and Rocket Propelled Grenades must have some reservations about taking on a literatlly fearsome helicopter like the Apache. It LOOKS scary, sounds scary, and the weapons load that it carries definitely IS scary in a number of ways that WW2 pilots could never have imagined (night capability for one thing). And yet, the name the insurgents choose to use (picked up by ground troops on the ICOM system – see for example the recent books "Apache" and "Apache Dawn") is defiant and contemptuous, indicating a minor but persistent annoyance that can be easily tackled. The facts (and widely distributed human remains after an Apache assault) do not bear out this attitude. Perhaps this is a function of the religious fervour with which Islamic insurgents fight. But I still think it fascinating that, for once, we now know what the enemy nicknames our nations' hardware. And despite the awesome power of the aircraft and skill of its crews, it's not as complimentary, exciting, or fitting a name as the ones we've imagined over the years for other aircraft. Even more fascinating is that the press are still at it, trying to turn it around and claim that to call an enormous death-dealing helicopter a "mosquito" is to say that it "flies fast, buzzes loud and stings hard".
I don't think the press/aviation enthusiast/warblogger spin washes. No – armed forces are typically defiant, irrespective of their nationality, or the technological might of their adversaries. "Mosquito" the sort of nickname, if any, that fighting people will give their enemy's hardware – hiding their fear, not shouting it from the rooftops. Try to think of a single example of US or British forces, who both have a strong tradition of nicknaming their own equipment, doing the same to an enemy aircraft or vehicle in a respectful or fearful way. I certainly can't. Messerschmitt 109s were "Yellow-nosed bastards". the V-1 flying bomb was the "Doodlebug". Nicknames to be sure, but ones expressing contempt or designed to psychologicall take the sting out of the attackers – just like the "Mosquito" gunship. Thinking back to the WW2 examples, especially those attributed to the Japanese – why would a force willing to fight to the last man think up such apparently fearful epithets? And if they did, why would they volunteer them to the enemy? Instead, it seems that traditionally we have done the enemy's nicknaming for them, as a way of expressing our own admiration and affection for the inanimate objects that servicemen rely upon on a daily basis. In fact, as British soldiers and airmen tended to be affectionately disparaging about their own vehicles and aircraft, maybe this was technophilia by proxy? Whereas today, it's possible to know precisely what our enemies think about our technology, just as we can know their opinions about us. And unsurprisingly, neither are favourable!

Q: How do I secure a REST API from CSRF when both frontend and API are on the same Go server? I am working on a web site created in Go.
It is possible to access it both via web (server side pages generated via golang templates) and a REST API (for external users who whant to integrate their own software). The Go server handles both types of requests, with a subrouter that handles the API when calls are sent to the subpath "my-url-root/api".

*

*The web pages use secure cookies

*The API is stateless: no cookies (each API method must receive in the
header an authentication token obtained via a dedicated login method)

I successfully applied gorilla/csrf to protect the web pages from csrf attacks, but that modification (essential before I go live) is now creating an issue with the API.
My question
When the CSRF is implemented, all GET requests sent to the api URLs work as expected, but any other request sent (e.g. a POST to a method to add something via my REST api) generates an html response that typically states "forbidden - invalid csrf token".
Is there a straightforward way that I am missing? I searched for answers but none applicable to the case where the api is served by the same server and most of all it is stateless.
Should I see if I can "disable" the gorilla csrf protection for the subrouter (though I do not even know if that is possible and if that is even safe...)?
Thanks for your help.

A: Ok, so I tried to apply the suggestions above and I came up with a solution to my problem.
I tested that it works by checking web and api calls against my urls and sub-urls with and without the csrf protection.
Just a clarification to my previous comment. To be more precise the order I created the Submuxes did not matter but of course I had then followed a proper order when I wrote down the lines to Handle each path.
So, the order IS important.
This is what I did (just bits of code).
I used goji as a router and gorilla/csrf for the csrf protection.
NOTE: I did not include all my code but just the most important parts to describe what I did.
1) I created a mux using
mux := goji.NewMux()

2) since my APIs are served under the url "/api" and related sub urls, I created a Submux for the api
apiMux := goji.SubMux()

3) I assigned the pages that match the path "/api" and "/api*" to this subMux
Note that I did NOT include any csrf protection
mux.Handle(pat.New("/api/*"), apiMux)

mux.Handle(pat.New("/api"), apiMux)

4) I created a Submux for web pages of my site
webMux := goji.SubMux()

5) I assigned the pages that match the path "/" and "/*" to this subMux
Note that here in my code I linked the middleware for the csrf protection
mux.Handle(pat.New("/"), csrf.Protect(csrfKey, csrf.Secure(true))(webMux))
mux.Handle(pat.New("/*"), csrf.Protect(csrfKey, csrf.Secure(true))(webMux))

6) For my benefit, I created other SubMuxes to handle other paths, like "/users", "/users/1", "/users/addform".
This step is important: I assigned this "userMux" to the webMux, and not to the main mux created at step 1.
In this way, the csrf protection is inherited. Example:
usersMux := goji.SubMux()

webMux.Handle(pat.New("/users/*"), usersMux)

webMux.Handle(pat.New("/users"), usersMux)

IN few words, this was the solution to my problem:
I) I assigned this "apiMux" to the main mux created at step 1.
I did not assigned it to any other mux. I did NOT assigned it to the webMux that handles the root url "/" and "/*"
II) The order is important, so I implemented the code for the API urls and then the code for the web urls
I hope it helps. And most of all I hope the explanation was clear... (if not just let me know).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Q: jquery assign object's data to existing id I have 4 div with ids:
HTML:

Car 1

Car 2

Car 3

Car 4

<button id="button">Race</button>

Now I pick 2 out of 4 to "race"
JS:
// choose a car to compare
$("#car1").on("click", function() {
    $("#car1").appendTo(".leftCar");
});

// choose the other car to compare
$("#car2").on("click", function() {
    $("#car2").appendTo(".rightCar");
});

How can I create objects/var and connect the values to the existing ids to compare them?
Something like this?
var car1 = {"topSpeed":"100","fuel":"50"};
var car2 = {"topSpeed":"80","fuel":"90"};

How to make the cars' top speed increase (+10) every time I hit button Race and their fuel decrease (-10)?
Also, how to remove/hide the car with fuel = 0?

A: This solution option uses data elements to associate the topSpeed and fuel with each car.

(function(){
  //get the race divs
  var $leftCar = $('.leftCar');
  var $rightCar = $('.rightCar');

  //move over any of the left cars
  $('.left-car').on('click', function(){
    if (!$leftCar.children().length) $leftCar.append(this);
  });

  //move over any of the right cars
  $('.right-car').on('click', function(){
    if (!$rightCar.children().length) $rightCar.append(this);
  });

  $('#race').on('click', function(){
    //only race if you have two contenders
    if ($leftCar.children().length && $rightCar.children().length) {
      var $car1 = $leftCar.children().eq(0);
      var $car2 = $rightCar.children().eq(0);

      //reduce the fuel
      $car1.data('fuel', $car1.data('fuel') - 10);
      $car2.data('fuel', $car2.data('fuel') - 10);

      //log the data to see the change
      console.log( $car1.data(), $car2.data() );

      //if either of them run out of fuel, remove them
      if ($car1.data('fuel') < 1) $car1.remove();
      if ($car2.data('fuel') < 1) $car2.remove();
    }
  });
})();

Car 1

Car 2

Car 3

Car 4

<button id="race">Race</button>

Comment: Uncertainty looms as PSL final decision is awaited
Qamar AhmedUpdated February 26, 2017
IN just over a week's time the planned PSL final is to be played in Lahore and yet uncertainty looms over the impending decision from the government and security agencies pondering whether it will be possible to hold the final of the cash-rich league in the Punjab capital amid the recent wave of terrorist attacks.
It appears to me from what I see and read about it, neither the federal government nor the provincial authorities in Punjab including its Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif nor the people responsible for security and for that matter even the PCB are on the same page after initial acceptance and assurances from every direction.
In the last couple of weeks situation tragically has changed and those who have lost their loved ones are the ones who know how painful it has been for them. A PSL final in Lahore will, no doubt, add insult to their injuries. Resilience in adversity is always a brave effort but not at the risk of staging a domestic cricket final.
I can also understand the disappointment of Pakistan's cricket fraternity that our country from 2009 onwards when the visiting Sri Lankan team was attacked by terrorists in Lahore on the way to the Gaddafi Stadium on the third day of the second Test has not been able to host international teams. That is sad.
The nomadic existence of our team since, playing on other corners of the field and in the foreign lands and home fans remaining deprived thus of even watching their international players in action on home grounds is not what a cricket-loving nation had asked for.
I for one like others would have loved to see international cricket return home and not for one moment have doubted the integrity and good faith of PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan and Najam Sethi, the PSL chief, and their attempts to bring home international cricketers but at what cost. That is the question?
In 2015, they did manage Zimbabwe to come and play a couple of ODIs under strict security but that too kind of misfired as an explosion in front of the Gaddafi Stadium cast a lot of aspersions in the minds of people.
The question is: is it really worth going through all the threat and risks that is around us to hold the final of a domestic event? And would this help bring back international cricket to Pakistan? Are we not aware that the embassies and high commissions of the cricket-playing countries are the ones who matter most to allow or disallow their country's teams to our shore?
Even if a number of foreign players do dare and join the teams in the final, would that help in the final reckoning to lure teams? The very fact that we are unable to host international teams in a home series since last eight years is itself distressing for all of us.
The army, the Rangers, the police and intelligence agencies do their bit in as professional a manner as possible. But terrorists have no boundaries, no religion, no love and being an unseen enemy work in different ways to destroy the infrastructure of a peaceful society.
That is the fear and a threat which makes people defenseless. People with first-hand experience and those who have suffered know what it is like to be in the midst of a terrorist attack.
I can never forget that fateful day in March 2009 when I left the Lahore Gymkhana where I was staying to cover the second Test against Sri Lanka. Luckily for me I was 15 minutes late that morning because of delayed breakfast or else I would have been at the Liberty roundabout where Sri Lankan coach was attacked and suffered injuries.
Much as I would love to see Pakistan play at home I dread playing this final is much too greater a risk, if God forbid, something goes wrong.
Therefore, let's be positive in making a decision and the PCB should leave it to those who know better and that is of course the government and the security agencies. And a decision has got to be made within 24 hours so that arrangements are well in place for the much-awaited final.
