Ink-Slinger Profiles: Carl Pfeufer
Carl Theodore Pfeufer was born in Mexico City, Mexico on September 29, 1910, according to a family tree at Ancestry.com. The World Encyclopedia of Comics (1983) said the family moved, in 1913, from Mexico to New York City. Art Exchange has information on his art training.
Carl T. Pfeufer…began his fine art training in New York City where he attended a two-year vocational school for commercial art. That school helped prepare him for admission to Cooper Union at the age of 16 where he continued to study art. While he was there he won the Hors Concour award for his life drawings. Upon graduation from Cooper Union, he attended The National Academy of Design where he received the Prix-da-Roma, a scholarship he was forced to turn down due to family responsibilities. He continued studying at the Grand Central Art School and Art Student's League in New York City. Pfeufer also studied privately with William Starkweather, protege of Joaquin Sorolla, a Valencian painter.
In the 1920 U.S. Federal Census, Pfeufer was the fourth of six sons born to Anna, a New Yorker; the name and fate of her husband, a Texan, is not known. The family lived in Manhattan, New York City at 211 West 117th Street. Pfeufer's first name was recorded as "Charles"; I'm guessing the enumerator misheard the name Carl. World Encyclopedia said, "Towards the end of the 1920s Carl Pfeufer started work with the McFadden publications doing layouts, spot illustrations, and editorial cartoons."
In 1930 the family of eight lived in Manhattan at 215 Audubon Avenue. Pfeufer was an artist in the publication industry. His debut in comics was in October 1935, in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle (New York) Sunday comics section. The features were Don Dixon and the Hidden Empire, a science-fiction strip, and Tad of the Tanbark, initially a circus story that evolved into a jungle story. (In Ron Goulart's The Funnies: 100 Years of American Comic Strips, he explained, "Tanbark is the material they spread in circus arenas…") Tad was the topper strip which shared a children's activity panel, Scissor Sketches. All three were written by Bob Moore. World Encyclopedia said their debut was on October 6. I looked at the eight-page comics section, which are clearly dated, for the sixth and thirteenth, and the comics and panel did not appear until the 20th [I agree with Alex's start date based on my own reasearch -- Allan]. The book credits Pfeufer and Moore as co-creators.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 10/20/1935
The Catalog of Copyright Entries, Part 4, Works of Art, etc., 1934 New Series, Volumes 29, Number 4 has this entry:
Lisiecki associates. 8858–8860
Pfeufer (Carl) :
Don Dixon and the hidden empire.–Scissor sketches.–Tad of the Tanbark. © 1 c. each Dec. 7, 1934 ; G 18486-18488.
Ad in the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle, 11/27/1935.
It appears Pfeufer produced the material and it was shopped around. I have not found any information on Lisiecki Associates. Moore's name was not mentioned; maybe he was brought in later, when the Daily Eagle picked it up. In December 1936 Moore and Pfeufer were teamed up on Gordon Fife. The birth of comic books provided another outlet for Pfeufer; his credits can be viewed at the Grand Comics Database. His time in comic books and strips spanned about three decades. Wikipedia covered his comics career. (Surprisingly, what is missing from the list of references is Maurice Horn's World Encyclopedia of Comics.) Who's Who of American Comic Books, 1928–1999 has an excellent overview of his career.
The 1940 census recorded him and his family in Dumont, New Jersey at 88 Fleetwood Road. He was married to Marie, had three sons, ages three to eight months, and was a commercial artist. The census said he lived in the Bronx in 1935. The family tree said he married Marie E. Sherwood; the 1940 census suggests they married around 1935.
Two of his strips from the fifties were The Bantam Prince and The Chisholm Kid.
After he moved to Texas, he remarried, on October 6, 1978, to Helen Bliss, according to the Texas Marriage Collection, 1966-2002 at Ancestry.com.
Art Exchange said, "In his later years, Pfeufer combined both travel and painting, especially in the Mediterranean area." He passed away on May 5, 1980, in Center Point, Texas (Social Security Death Index).

Carl Pfeufer had more then 3 children. He had 8 children 7 boy's and 1 girl.

Earlier this month, photographer Amy Sturg spotted this beautiful spring scene on Carleton Street — a neighborhood graced with Victorian-era homes that survived the various fires that broke out in the city in the 19th century, including the Great Fire of Portland. Check out the other photos from Amy's walk around Portland's historic West End here.
Please send me more information on this home, and the Camden home, at Sherman Point that you sent out recently, yesterday I believe. ( I believe I inadvertantly deleted it, and am very interested in that property).
Hi, Mr. Chisholm! We're sorry to say we do not have more information about the home above, but here is a link to the Sherman Point home we posted yesterday: https://mainehomes.com/shermans-point-perch/.

The most glorious flowers and red leaves2 came from you on Saturday — chocolates too — a thousand thousand thanks — but really you mustn't spend a whole fortune on me. I shudder to think of all the shopkeeper's bills you set aside for me! True, I don't think they would get as much joy from having their bills paid as I do from the flowers — but still .... Today comes Sat's Mirror3 with a jolly picture of you — thank you.
I am sorry about Marie4 — you must have had a time of great anxiety. I do hope she is well now. — I hate to think of your still having painful times with Miles — they will go on till you and he live apart. Will he be out of the Attic when I come out? If so, I won't bother about my flat, as I don't want to spend money needlessly. But if he will be in the Attic I will get my flat for a time. I expect I shall go back there altogether at the New Year, if I can possibly afford it. I think my brother would be glad if I did.5
Please give verbal message to Elizabeth: Say I love her letters, and it is only from discretion I don't write to her. She is very kind, and I appreciate every bit of it. So you are going to T.H.6 for the week-end! Fearful place. I shan't want to go there when I emerge, as I shall not be ill. Please tell E. and let her prepare my brother's mind. The point is that I want him to get the prohibited areas order rescinded all the same. I don't like having a 3rd visitor when you and E. come. She seems keen on it, but if you can dissuade her, do. Give her my very best love.
I am amazingly fit and vigorous, full of philosophical ideas — determined to keep out of prison, by H.S.7 if necessary — quite happy, only longing for you. Let me have all your news. How long is Clare8 staying in my flat? Look at my flat to see where books could go: about 1500.b — A thousand thousand kisses and all my heart, my dearest Darling.

Saturday's Mirror Colette's photograph appeared with the caption: "Lady Constance Malleson, daughter of Priscilla Countess Annesley and wife of Mr. Miles Malleson, the dramatist. She will shortly appear in one of his plays" (Daily Mirror, 6 July 1918, p. 8).
sorry about Marie In her letter of 24 June, Colette wrote that: "Marie got ill and was quite without money ... Marie is now well again" (BRACERS 113135). This is obviously an edited version of Marie Blanche's troubles. In Letter 22, editorially dated 18 June 1918, BR asked if the child Marie was going to have was Miles's.
my brother would be glad if I did BR's brother, Frank, had let it be known that he wanted him to find accommodation elsewhere than his home in Gordon Square, where BR had lived since 1916. Frank and Elizabeth's marriage was unravelling, and BR was more inclined to side with Elizabeth than with Frank.

Marie Blanche
Marie Blanche (1891–1973) studied at the Academy of Dramatic Arts where she met Colette. She sang as well as acted and had a successful career on the London stage in the 1920s. A photograph of her appeared in The Times, 20 March 1923, p. 16.
Prohibited areas
On 17 July 1918 (BRACERS 75814) General George Cockerill, Director of Special Intelligence at the War Office, notified Frank Russell that constraints on BR's freedom of movement, imposed almost two years before, had been lifted as of 11 July. Since 1 September 1916, BR had been banned under Defence of the Realm Regulation 14 from visiting any of Britain's "prohibited areas" without the express permission of a "competent military authority". The extra-judicial action was taken partly in lieu of prosecuting BR for a second time under the Defence of the Realm Act, on this occasion over an anti-war speech delivered in Cardiff on 6 July 1916 (63 in Papers 13). (Britain's Director of Public Prosecutions was confident that a conviction could be secured but concerned lest BR should again exploit the trial proceedings for propaganda effect and thereby create "a remedy … worse than the disease" [HO 45/11012/314760/6, National Archives, UK].) Since the exclusion zone covered many centres of war production, BR would be prevented (according to the head of MI5) from spreading "his vicious tenets amongst dockers, miners and transport workers" (quoted in Papers 13: lxiv). But the order also applied to military and naval installations and almost the entire coastline. As a lover of the sea and the seaside, BR chafed under the latter restriction: "I can't tell you how I long for the SEA", he told Colette (Letter 75).
Russell Chambers
34 Russell Chambers, Bury Street (since renamed Bury Place), London WC1, BR's flat since 1911. Helen Dudley rented the flat in late 1916 or early 1917. In May 1918 she sublet it to Clare Annesley. Colette moved in on 9 September 1918 and stayed until June 1919. BR did not give up the lease until December 1923.
See S. Turcon, "Russell Chambers, Other London Flats, and Country Homes, 1911–1923", Bertrand Russell Society Bulletin, no. 150 (Fall 2014): 30–4.
The Attic The flat at 6 Mecklenburgh Square, London WC1,
rented by Colette and her husband, Miles Malleson. The house which contained this flat is no longer standing. "The spacious and elegant facades of Mecklenburgh Square began to be demolished in 1950. The houses on the north side were banged into dust in 1958. The New Attic was entirely demolished" ("Letters to Bertrand Russell from Constance Malleson, 1916–1969", p. 109; typescript in RA).


Portland was the host for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Sailing Events and justifiably so. It is a spectacular place. Placed in the centre of the incredible English Channel Jurrasic Coast, a World Heritage Listed site, it has one of the largest man made harbours in the world.
The area is eight miles from the seaside town of Weymouth on a massive rock that has been described as a northern Gibraltar for it is very like that massive rock in the Mediterranean. Known correctly as the Isle of Portland it is not quite an island for Chesil Beach connects it to the mainland. Chesil Beach itself, or Chesil Bank as it is also known, is an eighteen mile long stretch of shingle, one of three in the country. The A354 road has a bridge over Chesil Beach to Portland, the only road in.
Together Portland and Weymouth are a borough on the coast of the lovely county of Dorset that jewel in the centre of southern England. Portland is only four miles long and one and half miles wide, but it packs a punch for location. See it from the South West Coastal Path on top of the cliffs, stunning!!!
The sea area Portland is well known in the British Shipping Forecast along with Dover, Wight and Plymouth covering the English Channel. Probably quite useful during 2012!
The Jurassic Coast itself is 95 miles long of incredible scenery and extends from Swanage to Orcombe Point near Exmouth. Portland, among several, is one of the gateway towns to the coast. The coast is well known for its landforms and fossils and Portland Museum is a local interpretive centre.
The Jurassic Coast became England's first natural World Heritage Site. One of the world's greatest walks is the stunning South West Coast Path National Trail, part of which passes along the Jurassic Coast.
The only road in is the A354. First Group do run a bus service from Weymouth to Portland. Weymouth itself has plenty of public transport in and to the town, local bus, coach and train.
Recommended is the delightful bus trip along the coast from Weymouth to Exeter via Lyme Regis. Spend the day exploring the coast from the top of the X53 bus.
The building of Portland Harbour started in the middle of the 1800's. The breakwater was largely constructed with stone extracted from the Public Works Quarries at the Grove by Portland prisoners under a very hard labour regime. Some prisoners were trained under this project and later went to Australia where they contributed to building projects there.
Many warders at the prison were themselves stonemasons etc. Two warders, brothers, (one of them the head warder) were first cousins of the writer, Thomas Hardy.
The harbour and its breakwater today stands as a memorial to the work of both prisoners and warders and nowadays a joy to the modern world.
Portland Prison This fascinating old photograph is by courtesy of Portland Grove Prison Museum which is the building seen on the right of the trees on this c1904 postcard.
Portland Prison was an important part of the history of Portland. The prisoners were responsible for supplying the stone for the harbour breakwater and many of the buildings seen at the Grove. They rebuilt Portland Prison from 1895 to 1915 using Portland stone.
The Grove Prison Museum is located in part of the Deputy Governor's house opposite the main gate of Portland Prison. It has become an interesting museum portraying as best as they can a piece of the original Portland Convict Prison history from 1848 to 1922 when it became a Borstal Offenders Establishment to 1988 and on to being a Young Offenders Establishment. Nowadays the prison's correct title is HMP (Her Majesty's Prison) and HMYOI (Her Majesty's Young Offenders Institute) Portland.
The Governor's House was built in 1866, but the Governor's Gardens alongside were laid earlier in 1851. Take it in as you explore Portland. You will find it at the end of Grove Road. It is a short five minute walk overlooking beautiful Portland Harbour and the Breakwater. At the other end of the gardens, just past the Borstal Bowling Club is the Jurassic coastal trail.
They are open four days a week, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm. Entry is FREE. Donations are of course always welcome.
Portland was chosen to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. An ideal choice. The beautiful and large harbour certainly lends itself to the event with its world wide reputation that it has some of the best sailing waters there is. Together with the fact that the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy itself has world class facilities. A massive plus is the stunning beauty of Portland and the rest of the Dorset coast.
The location appealed to locals and visitors alike for the event could be viewed free from the coast!
There is accommodation at Portland, Queen Anne's House B & B or the Portland Heights Hotel.
If you cannot get in there try Weymouth a delightful venue in its own right. The town is a favourite summer family holiday destination with its sandy beaches and safe swimming.
Best book early!!!! You will be so glad you did - Portland is such a lovely place. Check out the right hand column for an easy way of booking a hotel or perhaps self catering. What about a cottage near Portland.
Wessex Hotels has accommodation in both Portland and Weymouth including Portland Heights Hotel and Queen's Anne's House. Click the link above and there is a choice on the left lower down for Portland and other places in the area. Please do not leave it too late as choice will then be thin on the ground!
Weymouth is the next nearest place if you cannot get in in Portland itself. There is plenty of public transport to Portland.
You may not want to stay in the town but the Dorset countryside around. It is an attractive area. Cottages are a very pleasant prospect, come and go as you please.

The stand-in skipper, possibly the most prolific white ball player after regular leader Virat Kohli, has gone off the boil since the start of the South Africa series.
Skipper Rohit Sharma will be desperate to get back to form as a resurgent India look to set their record straight against hosts Sri Lanka in the third match of the Nidahas Tri-Series, on Monday.
He will like to score heavily to get his confidence back as he frets on whether he could give Rishabh Pant another game in the tournament. Touted as Dhoni's successor, Pant is yet to do justice to his immense potential till now.
With someone like KL Rahul waiting for his chance, time is running out for the burly youngster from Rourkee. Rahul's presence gives his skipper an option to use him as an opener and himself come at No 4, dropping Pant from the XI.
It was not a perfect start for India's second string squad in the tournament as they lost by five wickets against the hosts in the opening match. But the Sharma-led side bounced back strongly to beat Bangladesh by six wickets in their next match.
So Monday's match would provide India with a chance to make amends for the mistakes they committed against the Islanders in the opener. The tournament is currently evenly poised as all the three teams have won a game each from two outings but Sri Lanka are leading the table on net run rate ahead of India and Bangladesh.
But a win tomorrow would take India to the top, dislodging the Lankans. Opener Shikhar Dhawan is in imperious form with two back-to-back half-centuries in the tournament so far. After his 49-ball 90 in the opener against Sri Lanka, Dhawan made 55 off 43 deliveries to help India chase down Bangladesh's below-par 140 total with consummate ease in the last game.
After an indifferent Test series against the Proteas, Dhawan found his mojo back at the start of the limited overs leg in South Africa which can be ascertained from his sequence of scores in the last five T20 -- 55, 90, 47, 24, 72. But Rohit's form remains a cause of concern for India as he made 17,0, 11, 0 and 21 in the last five T20 matches.
Among other Indian batsmen, Manish Pandey (37, 27) looked in good nick and along with comeback man Suresh Raina and Dinesh Karthik form the core of the team's middle-order.
On the bowling front, Jaydev Unaadkat needs to be more consistent. The left-arm pacer has picked up four wickets in two matches so far but leaked runs which is not expected while spearheading the attack. The young and inexperienced Indian bowlers have done a decent job so far with the likes of Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Vijay Shankar living upto their expectations.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would be smarting from the shocking five-wicket loss to Bangladesh last night. Bangladesh pulled off a memorable record chase to stun the Lankans last night, ending their recent run of reverses against the islanders owing to Mushfiqur Rahim's belligerent 35-ball 72.
Chasing a mammoth 215 in the stipulated 20 overs, Bangladesh crossed the line in 19.4 overs for the loss of five wickets, which was the fourth highest run chase in T20 Internationals and Bangladesh's best.
The Lankan bowlers were taken to cleaners by Bangladesh batsmen and the hosts would be hoping for an improved show tomorrow. On the batting from, the two Kusals -- Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera are in fine form for Sri Lanka. Indian bowlers would be wary about Perera, in particular, who has scored 66 and 74 in the two matches, while Mendis made 57 against Bangladesh on Saturday.
Team India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Vijay Shankar, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammad Siraj and Rishabh Pant (wk).
Team Sri Lanka: Dinesh Chandimal (c), Suranga Lakmal (vc), Upul Tharanga, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Kusal Janith Perera, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Isuru Udana, Akila Dananjaya, Amila Aponso, Nuwan Pradeep, Dushmantha Chameera, Dhananjaya De Silva.

Q: Accessing global variable in function Ok, so here is my code that is working perfectly and just as it supposed to.
function setCanvasBackground (src){

    var source = document.getElementById('hiddenCanvas');
    var source_ctx = source.getContext('2d');
    var destination = document.getElementById('visibleCanvas');
    var destin_ctx = destination.getContext('2d');

    var img = new Image();
    img.onload = function(){
        source.width = img.width;
        source.height = img.height;
        source_ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
        destin_ctx.drawImage(source, 0, 0, img.width/4, img.height/4);
    }
    img.src = src;
};

However, if I move variables outside the function, so they can be accessed from other functions, the code just is not working. Here is what I do:
var source = document.getElementById('hiddenCanvas');
var source_ctx = source.getContext('2d');
var destination = document.getElementById('visibleCanvas');
var destin_ctx = destination.getContext('2d');

function setCanvasBackground (src){
    var img = new Image();
    img.onload = function(){
        source.width = img.width;
        source.height = img.height;
        source_ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
        destin_ctx.drawImage(source, 0, 0, img.width/4, img.height/4);
    }
img.src = src;
};

All JavaScript code is in separate file and not in HTML. What am I doing wrong here?

A: Try this:
var source, source_ctx, destination, destin_ctx;

window.onload=function() {
    source = document.getElementById('hiddenCanvas');
    source_ctx = source.getContext('2d');
    destination = document.getElementById('visibleCanvas');
    destin_ctx = destination.getContext('2d');
}

function setCanvasBackground (src){
    // ...
};

You cannot access elements before they are loaded. This will result in an attempt to access elements that doesn't exist.

A: One thing you could do is add a callback into setCanvasBackground:
function setCanvasBackground(src, callback) {
    [...snip...]
    img.onload = function(){
        source.width = img.width;
        source.height = img.height;
        source_ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
        destin_ctx.drawImage(source, 0, 0, img.width/4, img.height/4);

        // all set now:
        callback(source, source_ctx, destination, destin_ctx);
    }
    [...snip...]
}

...and then, when you call setCanvasBackground, add a function that won't be called until the image has finished loading:
setCanvasBackground(..., function(src, src_ctx, dest, dest_ctx) {
    alert("source.width:  " + src.width);
});

1.1 How this book is organized?
3.2.1 Why a data matrix?
You've typically heard something like this before: "in order to have a solid understanding of statistical learning methods, you need a good knowledge of matrix algebra." Which I agree with. Matrix algebra is fundamental for a good understanding of Statistical Learning methods, Machine Learning methods, Data Mining techniques, as well as Multivariate Data Analysis methods (keep in mind that there is a considerable amount of overlap in all these fields).
What you probably haven't heard is that "knowing matrix algebra is not (really) enough." You also need to learn how various matrix algebra concepts are connected with the ideas and notions behind statistical learning methods.
Multivariate data is commonly represented in tabular format (rows and columns).
Mathematically, a data table can be treated as a matrix.
Matrix algebra provides the analytical machinery and tools to manipulate and exploit values, information, and patterns of variability in data.
By and large, I focus on concepts like mean, variance, covariance, notions of spread, distances, and their relationships with linear combinations, projections—that sort of thing. You will learn how to express statistical concepts with vector and matrix notation. The underlying goal is to show you how to get a geometrical interpretation of common statistical operations.
You have some basic knowledge of matrix algebra.
You have taken introductory statistics.
You have some experience working with statistical learning techniques.
As with most of the books that I have written, this book is the result of my professional experience and personal frustration of not having resources like these out there. More specifically, this book was motiviated by the lack of a text that I could refer my students to so they could learn about how various matrix algebra concepts are connected with statistical ideas.
Likewise, throughout my teaching activities to different user profiles, I've seen time and again that we are not trained to see the connections between many analytical notions, and their matrix-geometric interpretation.
This book is my attempt to provide a resource for future (and current) data scientists that may have the software know-how, and a strong understanding of the working principles of the techniques they use, yet they have gaps at the matrix algebra level that prevents them to fully grasp the "under the hood" principles of their daily tools.
My hope is that the concepts and notions described in this text will allow you to get a good grasp of the methods discussed in any textbook about Statistical Learning, and how they work. I'm sure this book will be a great resource and consulting text for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as data scientists in the more general sense of this term.
A very special and heartfelt mention to Mohamed Hanafi, who ignited a spark in me that eventually fired up the idea of this work. Very likely I wouldn't have started writing some notes had he not invited me to be part of his one-man lab in the Unit of Sensometrics and Chemometrics at Oniris-Nantes. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget our marathonian discussion sessions, the many dozens of whiteboards filled with illuminating scribbles, the corresponding quota of used markers, the constant skipped lunch breaks, the steady climbing of his voice volume as he got excited talking about some abstract concept, and of course his unique skill for breaking my patience beyond my tolerable limits. Now I know there's a toll to pay when working with a genious of such astounding talent. I also know I wouldn't have been able to connect all the dots without him sharing his wisdom, secrets, and utopic dreams. Ustadh Hanafi… Shukran Jazilan.
As always, you wouldn't be reading this book if it wasn't for the patience and support of my loving wife Jessica. Once again, she has let me occupy the dining table as my personal workspace for many months (consequently eating at the couches in uncountable occasions). If you find any value from the content in this book, which I am sure you will, you owe her almost as much as you owe me.

A speech by HRH The Prince of Wales to two of his regiments at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, Canada
As you march off with your new colours flying, please be aware of your Colonel-in-Chief's undying interest and concern in all you do – but, above all, of the pride I feel in being associated with two such special Regiments.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a matter of great pride that, as your Colonel-in-Chief, I and my wife are able to attend this evening's parade, during which two of Canada's finest Reserve Regiments, The Royal Regiment of Canada and the Toronto Scottish, have received their new colours. I know that as always you will guard and uphold the traditions and principles enshrined within these colours. And knowing that the Toronto Scottish is also Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's own and that this is my first opportunity to see the Regiment since I have had the privilege of following in my Grandmother's footsteps after her sixty-three year association with her Regiment, I can only say that this is something that means an enormous amount to me.
As we gather together to celebrate this special occasion, we remember generations past and the immense courage, service and sacrifice shown by your forebears over more than a century.
Embroidered onto each of the colours that I have presented to you are names familiar to us all: Vimy, the Somme, Passchendaele, Dunkirk, the Rhineland; names which remind us of the horror and carnage of the First World War; the violence and bloodshed of the long and costly advance to defeat the Nazis and, of course, the extraordinary loyalty, bravery and resilience of Canadian soldiers who fought shoulder to shoulder with their Commonwealth brethren, for Crown and Country, many thousands of miles from their homes.
Today, both of your Regiments continue in the finest traditions of your predecessors, only this time you have been deployed to other regions of the world including the Golan Heights and Sudan and, of course, Afghanistan. I know that during the last two years, between your two Regiments, you have provided forty-three soldiers for operations in Afghanistan who have worked in the most difficult and dangerous of environments in Helmand and Kandahar, often under the constant threat of direct and indirect attack. I can only begin to imagine how incredibly challenging and difficult it must be to operate in such austere, unfamiliar and hostile conditions. Miraculously, no-one from your Regiments has been killed. I am, however, aware that two of your soldiers were injured in Afghanistan and I am so relieved to hear that they have both made a full recovery.
As a father of two serving officers, one of whom has himself served in Afghanistan, and Colonel-in-Chief of twenty-two Regiments, seven of which are Canadian, I have at least some understanding of the immense challenges faced by the families of those serving in the Canadian Forces and I can so well appreciate the appalling emotional strain and anxiety which permeate every waking minute while a loved one is placed in harm's way. To the families here this evening and, indeed, to all the families of the Canadian Forces, I would like to express my deep gratitude for the unwavering support you have given to your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, your fathers and mothers, your husbands, wives and partners who serve in this great nation's Armed Forces. Your love, compassion and loyalty are an essential ingredient for a successful mission.
If I may, I would also like to say a word or two about the people of Canada, many of whom have no direct link to the military, yet whose patriotism and pride in our Canadian Forces is evident each and every day. I cannot tell you how moved my wife and I are that so many of you have chosen to come here on this Autumnal evening, or are watching this parade on television at home, or who line what has so poignantly become known as "The Highway of Heroes" to honour the Fallen. These acts of solidarity have a great unifying force and impact. I know from the servicemen and women to whom I have spoken just how important this is.
God bless and preserve you all.

This step by step diy woodworking project is about dining table plans. If you want to learn more about building a dining table, we recommend you to pay attention to the instructions described in the article. There are many other designs and plans to choose from when building projects for your backyard, so make sure you take a close look over the related plans that are featured on our site.
There are many plans and designs to choose from, so make sure you take a close look over the rest of the table plans featured on our website. Plan everything with attention and adjust the size and the shape of the table to suit your needs. Plumb the legs and make sure the corners are right-angled before inserting the galvanized screws into place. Drill pilot or pocket holes to prevent the wood from splitting.
The first step of the woodworking project is to build the sides of the dining table. Therefore, we recommend you to cut the components out of 2×2 lumber, making sure you take accurate measurements.
Drill pocket holes at both ends of the horizontal supports and secure them to the legs. Make sure the corners are right-angled and plumb the legs with a spirit level.
The next step of the outdoor project is to attach the 1×8 slats to the bottom shelf of the table. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the slats and secure them to the frame. Leave no gaps between the slats and lock them together tightly.
In order to get the job done in a professional manner, we recommend you to attach the tabletop into place. Lay the 1×10 slats on a level surface and center the frame of the table with great care.
Drill pocket holes through the frame of the table and insert 2″ screws into the slats. Add waterproof glue to the joints and remove the excess with a damp cloth. Check if the corners are square before inserting the screws.
If you want to enhance the rigidity of the table and to add value to your woodworking project, we recommend you to assemble several supports, as described in the diagram.
Cut the components out of 1×2 lumber and drill pocket holes at both ends of the horizontal components. Secure the components together by inserting 1 1/4″ screws. Make sure the corners are square.
Fit the supports to the dining table and drill pocket holes through the top and bottom components. Plumb the supports and secure them into place by inserting 1 1/4″ screws.
This woodworking project was about dining table plans. If you want to see more outdoor plans, we recommend you to check out the rest of our step by step projects. LIKE us on Facebook and Google + to be the first that gets out latest projects.

HHS' New Spokesman So Good At Communications Strategy That He Thinks He Can Delete Tweets From The Internet
Too Much Free Time
from the noooooooope dept
Wed, Apr 29th 2020 7:08pm — Timothy Geigner
It never ceases to amaze me how often people that really should know better seem to think that they can simply remove their own histories from the internet effectively. It seems the be a lesson never learned, be it from major corporations or even the Pope, that the internet never forgets. Thanks to tools like The Wayback Machine and others, attempts to sweep history under the rug are mostly fruitless endeavors. And, yet, people still try.
Such as Michael Caputo, the new spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services. That department is just a tad important at the moment, given the COVID-19 pandemic we're all enduring. Well, Caputo got the job and decided he better get to Twitter to delete all that racist and conspiratorial shit he said so that we all don't find out about it.
The new spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services in a series of now-deleted tweets made racist and derogatory comments about Chinese people, said Democrats wanted the coronavirus to kill millions of people and accused the media of intentionally creating panic around the pandemic to hurt President Donald Trump.
Michael Caputo, a longtime New York Republican political operative who worked on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, was appointed last week as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at HHS, a prominent communications role at the department which serves a central role in the federal government's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Caputo, a prolific user who often tweeted insults and profanity, recently erased nearly his entire Twitter history from before April 12. CNN's KFile used the Internet Archive's "The Wayback Machine" to review more than 1300 deleted tweets and retweets from late February to early April many of which were regarding the rapidly spreading coronavirus.
If you feel like wallowing in the muck, you can see more of Caputo's once-musings from Twitter here, where someone saved them. Now, I know precisely what you're thinking: But, Tim, how can we go and see these tweets when Caputo very smartly and correctly deleted them?
Great question, Michael Caputo, and thanks for coming to Techdirt to read this. See, the internet isn't a piece of paper in front of you that you can crumple up and light on fire after you've finally written down all the hateful stuff you've wanted to say but never had the guts to say out loud. Instead, it's made up of computers and servers and probably lots of other things too! Like transistors or something, who knows! But what I do know is that there are ways to go back and capture things that are deleted on the internet. And then, you know, discuss them out loud like we are now.
It's called The Streisand Effect. It's how you go from "Hey, I'll just delete these tweets" to "Holy shit, CNN now has an article discussing those tweets I didn't want anyone to see!"
In Caputo's defense, his comments to CNN after the publication amount to him telling CNN he doesn't really mind if anyone sees the tweets he went and deleted.
After publication, Caputo responded to CNN's request for comment by saying that reporting on his past tweets is "fair game, dude. I don't care. It doesn't matter to me at all." He claimed that he deletes his tweets "every month and I do it because it drives people mad."
He added "when you tweet in spirited fashion, KFile is going to have them. I've known that all my days. So I don't mind what you've done." Caputo defended his past Twitter behavior saying he was "a defender of the President" tweeting in a "spirited manner" that included calling out reporters, but he said he's "now a servant of the American people and some might be disappointed, but my tweets will be different."
And we'll look for those different tweets to get deleted every month on the month, too, I'm sure.

Health And Human Services Ex-Cybersecurity Director Convicted Of Kiddy Porn
from the guarding-the-chicken-coop dept
Wed, Aug 27th 2014 4:12pm — Timothy Geigner
There seems to be someone asleep at the wheel in the federal government's HR department, given how many questionable people have been put in high profile/high responsibility security positions. Kieth Alexander, uber-Patriot, locked his cyber-security expertise up with a patent. The White House's cyber-security guy can't wait to tell you how little he knows about his job. Homeland Security's former Inspector General was accused of a ridiculously long list of questionable behavior (in addition to having no qualifications for the job). And now, ex-director of cybersecurity for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has been convicted on kiddy porn charges.
Timothy DeFoggi, 56, formerly of Germantown, Md., is the sixth individual to be convicted as part of an ongoing investigation targeting three child pornography websites, the Justice Department said. He faces sentencing on Nov. 7 based on the findings Tuesday that he engaged in a child-exploitation enterprise, conspired to advertise and distribute child pornography, and accessed a computer with intent to view child pornography in connection with his membership in a child-pornography website.
Oh, well that's just great. The head cyber-security guy for a government organization that includes divisions for preventing child abuse and child support enforcement was a pedophile at best. Let's be clear: according to the evidence presented by prosecutors, DeFoggi is simply as bad as it gets.
"Through the website, DeFoggi accessed child pornography, solicited child pornography from other members, and exchanged private messages with other members where he expressed an interest in the violent rape and murder of children," prosecutors added. "DeFoggi even suggested meeting one member in person to fulfill their mutual fantasies to violently rape and murder children."
I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone reading this that the United States federal government has engaged in widespread surveillance on its own people. They're watching what you do, particularly online. They're intruding on our lives in ways Orwell couldn't have dreamed of. And they're doing it all under the notion that it's for our protection. If we must live with that kind of intrusion for the time being, is it too much to ask that the government manage to weed out violent child-rapists from their own ranks as some kind of accommodation?

Health And Human Services Apparently Unable To Recognize Satire; Sends Bogus Legal Threat
from the because-shut-up dept
Wed, May 14th 2014 10:12am — Mike Masnick
Another day, another story of someone with skin way too thin not comprehending satire and dashing off an angry legal threat. In this case, it's worse than usual because the bogus legal threat is coming from the US government. Popehat has the full story of how some of the legal geniuses at the Department of Health and Human Services have sent a bogus cease-and-desist letter over a pair of obviously satirical posts on the site AddictionMyth.com. While we've long been skeptical of the medical profession's desire to label all sorts of things "addictions," that particular site takes it to extreme levels, arguing that there's nothing that's addictive, and all talk of addictions (including drug and alcohol addictions) are just a big scam "perpetrated by law enforcement, rehab groups and the entertainment industry." I think that's nuts, but they certainly have their right to say so.
They also have the right to post a satirical conversation with a so-called "addiction guru." As Ken at Popehat points out, there's no way to read this without realizing it's satire:
AM: According to your research, blackouts occur not just in middle age alcoholics, but in young college students who may not have built up much tolerance for alcohol. Their drinking often ended up in unprotected sex, vandalism, and fights, of which they had no memory until cued by a friend. What was their response to their memory? Regret? Horror? Delight? Glee? A little of each?
AW: I wasn't the author of the research. But I would say a little of each, at least based on my own experience. I suspect they remembered more than they wanted to admit. Though one time I got really drunk at a party and my friend told me that I was talking to his sister in French, and I had absolutely no recollection of that. It was surprising to me as a brain scientist because alcohol has been shown to suppress activation of the inferior frontal region (Broca's area also known as the 'language center'). I probably shouldn't have been able to talk at all, let alone French, given my BAC. But what was really weird was that I don't even know French!
Following this, AddictionMyth posted a bogus mocking satirical cease-and-desist, which pretends to be angry about the satirical interview. This too, is obvious satire. I mean, the letter includes this line:
Do you realize how psychotically insane that sounds? In my field we have a term for it: CRAY-CRAY!
Either way, this bogus cease-and-desist appears to have stirred up the attention of a lawyer at the real US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which apparently has some extra time on its hands now that Healthcare.gov's website is kinda, sorta working. Lawyer Dale Berkley sent a cease-and-desist in which he argues both that (1) the interview is clearly not true and (2) that it might be defamatory. You can't really have both of those things be true.
We recently became aware of two items that you posted on your website directed to two employees of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism ("NIAAA")--one which purports to be an interview with NIAAA Project Manager Dr. Aaron White, and the other a letter from NIAAA Director Dr. George Koob.
Of course Dr. White did not in fact participate in the interview and Dr. Koob did not write the letter attributed to him.
We are concerned that, especially with respect to the mock interview, the public could be deceived and misled into believing that Dr. White in fact contributed to the interview. Those items are defamatory, and expose you to potential liability.
We therefore request that you either remove the articles from your website, or provide a prominent disclaimer indicating that Dr. White and Dr. Koob did not participate in the interview or write the letter.
As noted above, by admitting it's obviously fake, Berkley undermines his own legal argument. Ken White summarizes it nicely:
When the target of satire complains that it is defamatory, the relevant question is whether the satire can reasonably be taken as a statement of fact about its subject. Dr. Berkley, by saying that "of course" the satirical articles do not reflect the actual words of the subjects, has just proclaimed that the satire he is complaining about cannot be taken as a statement of fact.
You paid taxes for that.
White goes into a more in-depth legal analysis of just how preposterously bogus the letter from HHS is, and questions if Berkley was even remotely aware of the law before sending the letter, or if any other lawyer at HHS bothered to look it over. In the meantime, we're wondering if HHS has any programs for helping with the tragically satire-impaired?

Teaser of next Steampunk Idle Spinner world
Hi! For now Steampunk Idle Spinner has been downloaded more than 250 000 times, and 3300 people have joined our facebook group! The game has 3 worlds: Workshop, Clockwork City and Floating Islands, which contain around 40 various steampunk machines, vehicles and contraptions.
Since recently I'm thinking of how will the new world look like. I'm ready to announce that this is going to be Assembly line world, where the coins will be produced, transported and upgraded. I've made several sketches which represent the expected gameplay mechanics. What do you think of it?
Any critique, suggestions, questions is appreciated!
About the expected timeframe. I have a very strict deadline: 31st Dec, when the games are accepted to Google Play contest and IMGA contest. I'm putting all my effort to make the world playable by then. Perhaps (as the contest jury first look at the visuals and then - to gameplay), I'll make a separate build with Assembly line only, and will submit and to the contest and show to you.
Also I want to test several new gameplay concepts in this world, which will then migrate to the big game.
1. Permanent upgrades. A much-requested feature, which will let the players spend narrativium to permanently boost some in-game parameters, like tap bonus, engines productivity, details discount, start money.
2. Player ranks. You will start as "Apprentice Mechanic", and then, depending on how big your steampunk contraption is, you'll proceed to "Engineer" or even "Sky Lord". Ranks will unlock more game features.
3. More real physics.Taking into account torque, friction, momentum, when calculating energy transfer through the chains of connected cogwheels.
4. More production chains: besides the streamline of coins, produced by one machine and gradually upgraded by the other machines in the assembly line, the same will be for machines fuel and substances, which increase the machine's production.
5. Enigma machine. Once a while it will produce a code, and if you break it, you'll get a significant reward, which is much bigger than for catching the gremlin.
6. Music machine. Sound is also a much-requested game feature. But I want to to just add sound, but to let the player build a music machine: specify tempo, notes, rhythm.
7. Cloud services: finally it's time to save the player's progress in the cloud and let the players compare their results in the leaderboards.
8. Besides I want to try to keep the previous world after the player exits it from the portal, and then transfer resources between the worlds.
All these additions will alter the game objects' structure and formats, so, some time is needed before making them public. But I will inform you of the gamedev progress and will update the current versions with new features and optimizations.

Comments Off on A Commission of Inquiry into State Capture: Lessons from Marikana
Naadira Munshi & Bhavna Ramji
With President Zuma dithering in appointing a commission of inquiry into allegations of state capture, the Democratic Alliance have asked the High Court in Pretoria to declare that he has failed to comply with one of the prescripts of the Public Protector's State of Capture report. The Quaker Peace Centre, the FW de Klerk Foundation and Afriforum have filed an urgent application at the Constitutional Court attempting to tackle matters from a different angle to that proposed by the Democratic Alliance in court last Tuesday. The group are applying for the court to order that Deputy President Ramaphosa appoint a judicial commission of inquiry to investigate "allegations of state capture and/or a silent coup in South Africa" on the basis of President Jacob Zuma's conflict of interest in such a commission.
In the media, their representatives have made reference to the Marikana Commission as an example of the so-called ability of commissions of inquiry to "throw light on the darker corners of society and to advise government on the intricacies of any given situation or issue that may require the type of expert and detailed investigation that the judiciary has the capacity to deliver and those busy governing do not have the time to undertake".
Now, the anti-worker and racist rhetoric that emerged through the Marikana Commission and its function of (in the final analysis) trying to quell popular discontent, may well suit the present purposes of the Quaker Peace Centre and its co-applicants. It may also suit the Democratic Alliance. But as a group of researchers have recently pointed out, public intellectuals, academics and progressive elements of civil society, have become preoccupied with the same discourse, in which the "previously corrupt [become] manifestly incorruptible."
If we are interested in truly pro-poor progressive outcomes, then the Marikana Commission, and everything that it reveals about the risks of commissions of inquiry, the capacity of judicial officers to seek truth, and the integrity of the Deputy President Ramaphosa are part of the debate, not solutions to it. The debate should really be whether commissions of inquiry, as South Africans currently experience them, are forms of remedial action at all.
The failures of the Marikana Commission
In August 2012, thousands of platinum mineworkers downed tools in an unprotected strike at Lonmin mine, Marikana. After one week, on the afternoon of 16 August 2012, the police murdered 34 mineworkers — 17 killed on live television and the rest in the shadows of a second koppie, where they were hunted down. A day after the massacre, President Jacob Zuma announced he would be setting up a commission of inquiry on the basis that "it is clear there is something serious behind these happenings".
Soon after, he released the terms of reference and appointed retired Judge Ian Farlam as the lead Commissioner. What emerged four years after the massacre was a report that failed to comment meaningfully on socio-economic conditions in mines, while exonerating Ramaphosa and other well-positioned political actors and scapegoating a newly-appointed Police Commissioner, silencing the voices of mineworkers and the families of the deceased mineworkers and ignoring glaring post-mortem evidence of high velocity bullets fired at close range in the heads and backs of mineworkers. It also recommended further inquiries to do what it failed to do: hold a single policeman accountable.
For those who participated on the side of mineworkers and their families, the outcome was devastatingly disappointing. But from the very outset, the Marikana Commission was compromised, and in establishing a commission of inquiry, the state managed to reproduce and maintain its own hegemony as well as that of the corporations it is intertwined with or captured by. The state achieved this result through a process of social and procedural exclusion.
At the outset, the powers of the Marikana Commission were determined by the drafters of its Terms of Reference. The Marikana Commission placed in the background workers who did not form part of large private, state or labour organisations. It is thus unsurprising that out of the 3,000 mineworkers who went on strike in August, independent of any trade union or any formal structure, only the 270 who were injured and arrested were ever formally represented at the commission. This enabled the mis-characterisation of the full extent of workers' urgent need for and challenging means to attain living wages.
At the time that the Marikana Commission opened on 1 October 2012, none of the family members of the murdered mineworkers were present – not a surprise considering that, unlike the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, "restoration" was not mentioned in the Terms of Reference. It was only through their lawyers that the families learnt that a commission of inquiry had been established. What followed was a 22-month wait and many revisions to their evidence, before the families could directly address the commission. When they finally did testify, television stations and many lawyers did not bother to record or attend the hearings.
Once the parties that mattered were established, the Marikana Commission proceeded with an adversarial, quasi-legal framework that relies on judges as independent arbiters of truth.
Judicial involvement and unnecessarily judicialised processes
Michel Foucault explained that "[w]ith Plato there began a great Western myth: that there is an antinomy between knowledge and power." The case of Judge Farlam, in his role of heading the Marikana Commission, reveals that the pursuit of truth is never objective, and even less likely to be so when the political stakes are high and the participants are products of power struggles.
At the Marikana Commission, Judge Farlam enforced several processes that contributed to the version of truth that emerged from it. First, all evidence was mediated through lawyers, mostly white members of expensive attorneys firms, elite NGOs or other privileged actors of the advocate profession, which resulted in limited direct contact between the lawyers and their clients.
Second, representation was impossible without access to funding. While this did not affect fully funded government departments (including the South African Police Service), Lonmin and established unions or the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union that secured funding through private donors mediated through an NGO, the families of the murdered mineworkers received only limited funding from Legal Aid South Africa (LASA). Legal representatives of the injured and arrested miners eventually had to stop the commission proceedings to argue instead for increased LASA funding. Even worse is the case of Mrs Mary Langa whose husband, Julius, a mine worker, was killed on 13 August 2012, allegedly by other mineworkers. For more than a year, Mrs Langa had no legal representation at the commission until evidence leaders were finally tasked with the responsibility.
A third consequence of the decision to run an adversarial quasi-legal procedure was that it allowed evidence to be excluded on the basis of relevance and admissibility, meaning that facts were resolved through lawyers' submissions and documents. For example, the Marikana Commission, investigating at least 34 killings involving police weapons, never heard from a single ordinary ranking policeman who fired a rifle at the original killing scene. It also stripped the Commission's evidence leaders of their powers to request and even subpoena documents, as they spent the first year engaged in legal arguments to secure information from Lonmin and the SAPS. Lonmin, for example, revealed key documents regarding its failure to provide housing for workers only five months before the commission closed when its witnesses were called to the stand.
Importantly, evidence that emerged takes us directly to Ramaphosa, South Africa's deputy president, where the anti-Zuma machine attempts to wash off the blood on his hands.
A most unsuitable arbiter
On the basis that he is not conflicted on the issue, Ramaphosa is now being called upon to appoint a commission of inquiry into state capture. But this view of him depends on how one characterises conflicts and state capture. This is the very same man who built his political career on the backs of mineworkers and then proceeded to build his economic empire on the political capital he had gained. This is also the very Deputy President who fused his political power and commercial interest in Lonmin where he was director and shareholder, who wrote to Lonmin officials describing the actions of striking mineworkers as "plainly dastardly criminal" and calling for "concomitant action to address this situation"—that same week when 34 striking mineworkers were shot dead.
By the time the Marikana Commission was required to close, it had taken a conscious decision not to look into the socio-economic conditions of mines. This was the result of procedural flaws and inexperience on the part of the commissioners.
The Marikana Commission was a political process, made by political actors and designed to protect their interests. And so, arising from a complex moment in the intersection of labour relations, law, commodification and industrialisation in a specifically post-colonial context, the Marikana Commission's proceedings were designed to produce a knowledge that would reproduce and reinforce the existing power structures, and suppress not simply the voices but the very relevance of these structures' subjects.
Such hegemony is what commissions of inquiry, judicial involvement and Ramaphosa should evoke. Rather than enlightening us, the uncritical assumptions about politics and political processes resulted in a quite untrue truth.

QUESTION: Does ceasing from physical labor make a day holy?
ANSWER: Obviously, physical rest cannot make a day holy!
God has written the Bible in such a way that it requires searching and digging and praying to discover the true nature of God and His Salvation plan.
Oh yes, there are beginning principles to Salvation, such as Christ's deity and His atonement on the Cross for the sins of humanity!
And these beginning truths are made as clear as the noonday sun, in Scripture.
As this incredible little verse reveals, the only way to truly find Jesus, is to cease from all earthly desires, and devote one's entire life to seeking after and searching out our true Lord and Savior!
Yes, those who attempt to serve God and the world too, will find confusion and false doctrines in the Bible.
Now back to the 4th Commandment. The point to today's devotional is, that physical rest cannot make a day holy.
Ceasing from physical labor cannot make a day holy. And so, this 4th Commandment cannot be understood literally. It must be understood spiritually!
And those who are truly on the road to truth, will eventually come to the place where they have to concede that the 4th Commandment must be understood spiritually. It just doesn't make sense literally!
A person cannot close his or her self off from the world for 24 hours, expecting that to make the day holy! Taking great effort to cease from every form of physical work will not cause any amount of holiness!
And so, this 4th Commandment requires a spiritual interpretation to rightly understand what it is saying!
Here we see just what is the true Sabbath. It is a, "rest unto your souls", which comes about when a man, woman, or child renounces this selfish world and begins to follow Jesus and learn of Him!
And the more that any man, woman, or child increases his or her knowledge and understanding of Christ, the greater and more perfect will be that, "rest unto your souls".
Yes, it takes genuine labor to find the true Sabbath, "rest unto your souls"! Bible study and daily contemplation through the hours of each day, combined with unceasing prayer and continual effort to become Christlike are the main ingredients to enjoying the true Sabbath! It is a Sabbath which extends into the entire 7 days of every week!
Now having said all this, we must be very careful not to judge others, bringing condemnation down upon our own head!
Yes, to judge those who regard one day above another will only bring unrest and turmoil into our own soul! Contrariwise, those who judge others who regard all days alike will only bring spiritual unrest and turmoil upon that 1-day-per-week Sabbath-keeper!
But whatever one's conception of Sabbath-keeping is, unless that Christian has found the true rest unto his or her soul, any attempt to keep 1-day-per-week holy will be a mere exercise in futility!
The Good News is this: it is still the day of Salvation! The door of mercy has not yet closed! And all who desire Salvation may still labor to enter into the "Rest unto your souls"! And so, let us each labor to fully enter into that rest! Let us each cast away our earthly idols and flee unto the "Ragged Rocks", and hide ourselves within the pages of God's infallible Word, making that Spirit-inspired Word our daily hiding place!
And whether at work, or at physical rest, or at recreation with our family, we will be hiding ourselves in Jesus and His precious promises!
THIS STAR-CHART: This is a Wikipedia star-chart, in which this site's editor has sketched in these three constellation (without the Holy-Ghost-Rider Constellation). Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon. Also notice his eye is a star.It's best seen when in the western half of the sky. It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west. In January, it is in the west after midnight. As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening. a dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation. It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion. And as already stated, this Goodly Horse Constellation can be seen best in mid-winter when it is in the western side of the sky, and you are looking at it while you are facing west. The nose and head of this horse is partly made from the Perseus Constellation. The tail and rear end is partly of the Cassiopeia Constellation. The hind-leg is made partly of stars from the Andromeda Constellation.

If you find something not working, please let us know as well; we are keen to fix it!!


On February 6 at Cape Canaveral, Florida, at the same launch pad that began the journey of Apollo 11, another monumental advancement in space technology was successfully tested. The culmination of years of research and development came to fruition as SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket successfully launched its payload into space. The Falcon Heavy rocket is no ordinary spacecraft. Producing 5 million pounds of thrust at launch, the rocket is two times as powerful as any rocket ever built which means that it can carry more weight to a farther destination in Space. However, the size of the rocket is not the only thing that sets it apart. The rocket consists of two stages. The first stage is made up of three boosters with nine engines each. After the rocket reaches a sufficient altitude, the three boosters drop off and the second stage continues with the payload towards its destination in space. A multistage rocket is not new groundbreaking technology, but SpaceX designed their multistage rocket with some features that are nothing short of revolutionary. SpaceX has a goal of interstellar travel and to satisfy this they have spent years perfecting the art of designing reusable parts. For the Falcon Heavy Launch, two of the first stage boosters drop off and land upright from the same space port they launched from. (I highly recommend watching a video of this – it is really cool.) The third booster drops off and lands in the middle of the ocean. Except, instead of crashing down into the water the rocket lands upright on a ship. Except this is not any normal ship. This is a custom designed autonomous drone ship that positions itself according to the trajectory of the booster landing on it. SpaceX has the intention of carrying people to space and their designs reflect that. Multiple things can go wrong, such as an engine failure, and the launch will continue as planned. Each booster and engine is reusable which significantly reduces costs and paves the way for more economical space travel. These are just some of the innovations that SpaceX has made that are revolutionizing spacecraft.
Elon Musk and his space company set out with the goal of taking people to other planets and the success of February 6 was an extremely important checkpoint along the path to other planets. With the Falcon Heavy rocket, delivering payloads to Mars is well within reach. Elon Musk is a visionary and he is the leader of a company on the forefront of space travel. Elon Musk also acts like someone on the forefront of space tech. Musk put his very own Tesla roadster as the payload for the February test of the Falcon Heavy. The car was equipped with a dummy wearing a SpaceX designed space suit and the convertible's radio will be playing David Bowie's Space Oddity. Why? No reason but just for fun. When asked about what SpaceX is doing with the car, Musk responded, "We don't have a plan. No plan. It's going to be out there for millions, maybe billions of years. Who knows, maybe [it will be] discovered by some future alien race thinking, 'What the heck, what were these guys doing? Did they worship this car?'" This personality is at the helm of the advancement in space technology, and his company's innovations are successful. Musk has made crucial advancements in this field that will likely change the way people view space. Due to SpaceX's advancements, consumer space travel is an achievable goal.
