Being on the cutting edge in regards to your marketing methods is essential especially when you are marketing online. That said, you need to get educated before you start using any hot new marketing technique. if you are willing to make a commitment to article advertising, there are many basic ideas that will produce great results. This article will put you on the inside track to article promotion success.
Offer a free short report as an incentive to sign-up to your newsletter. You can write the report yourself or hire a freelancer, but it is necessary to entice folks to opt into your email campaign. The report should be relevant to your niche.
No one will read a boring article. Draw the reader in by keeping a conversational tone. Even if the topic is very technical, taking the edge off can be done by using layman's terms to get the information across. Do not provide boring content that will drive readers away.
If you are in a writing rut, try sparking some controversy. Start some arguments related to household names or brands. This can produce increased publicity and additional backlinks. Reward new readers by providing them with high quality content that is backed by real knowledge.
One of the most creative and interesting ways for businesses to attract attention on the Internet is to blog. There is no cost to blogging on most websites, and it can be used to get feedback from your visitors. This is the simplest way to start a conversation with your readers.
It's important to include new content regularly. Many major search engines deploy search-engine spiders more frequently to websites that are deemed relevant and current. Search engine robots love new content, so the fresher your content is, the more likely that it will rank highly in search engines.
Article directories and blog networks are a great place to submit your work. A well-written blog is the perfect way to establish yourself as an expert, which will help to boost your site traffic. Each article should include all relevant details to ensure that readers will be able to locate your website and blog.
Try targeting on one keyword in each article. Fold the keyword into the title of your article, once in the sub-heading of the piece and try to include it in the URL. Try incorporating this keyword into the body paragraphs in your article. This makes it easy for your article to be found when a person is searching for it, and that should result in more website traffic and sales.
Make sure to use social media to your advantage! Both Twitter and Facebook are excellent ways to boost your readership. Post a status update whenever you have a new article written to attract the attention of your readers or followers. It's a great idea to also ask them to pass on the word about your articles to their friends to grow your audience further.
Never write any articles on subjects that don't excite you in any way. Although there is a lot you can do to improve your writing style and personality, you can't really command it completely. When you're bored, your readers are bored. Articles that aren't interesting to write are probably not going to help you in your marketing efforts when compared to something that does interest you.
Good headlines are vital. The headline will captivate the reader and catch their attention to make them want to read what you have wrote. Brainstorm ideas before settling on a headline. Get the opinions of others to learn what they might think.
Be an original rather than an imitator. Staying innovative gives you a leg up when it comes to marketing. The filters search engines use to detect duplicate content are continually getting smarter, so publishing only unique content will keep you on their good side.
If any celebrities have been seen using your product, ask their permission to use this fact. Such free publicity can generate lots of demand. You should not make any false claims about a celebrity use of your product because it could create legal issues for you.
Write your articles in the language you know best. If you are not completely fluent and can be mistaken for a native speaker, you should not try to market to this different audience. You may say things you honestly never meant to say! Also, your own perceptions of the word and society may be completely different than the audience you are trying to market too.
To help bolster visitors, write articles people want to read. Putting together useful DIY or "how-to" articles will increase your popularity. In addition to, just putting a poll out each month that is high quality, you will see that you will have more traffic.
Most articles, unless they are specifically deleted, will stay on the internet forever. They can be used again and again to direct new traffic to your website. It's possible to use these articles to cross-promote other articles you've written to really expand your readership.
Are you at a loss for interesting article topics? The news is one of the best outlets to find useful tidbits you can apply to your market. Google Alerts allow you to find out what's happening in your niche every day by email. Using current events in your article will assist you in keeping everything current and interested to readers.
Consider using an article you have written to promote a different article. Include links to previous articles if they are relevant to the subject matter. This is especially effective if the article being linked is related to the current article. Be proud of the work that you have done!
Establish your personal unique style when you write your articles. That way, when people read your articles, they'll feel comfortable. You also do not want to sound like another author because it could affect how much credibility you have in the business, negatively impacting your earning potential.
Pretend that you and a friend are having a conversation when you create your articles, as this is a good way to make your information more enjoyable. Doing this makes your articles sound friendly as opposed to formal and stale. An article written from a conversational angle sounds more real and relaxed.
Automation is the key to working with article marketing and having spare time. There are lots of software programs out there that provide article automation; research them and choose the one that's best for you. Compare each software's services and features and try to judge each one's time-saving capacities. Be sure to take cost into consideration along with performance.
Make a splash with your introductory page. Every single thing you publish online should have a quality introduction. Your content should engage your reader through the use of questions, facts and anything else that entices them. The first thing people are going to see or hear from you is what will leave an impression about about you. When you open big and leave a lasting impression, people won't turn their heads elsewhere but stay with your website instead.
Employ strategy in choosing the topics you write about. If you are very knowledgeable in the niche you write about, you will be able to offer details that are very useful to the reader.
When seeking information from many sources on article syndication, make sure to save a copy somewhere of any post, e-mail reply, or comment that you write. You can then use these saved correspondences in articles you write. This is similar to PLR. These can really spice up your articles.
Potential customers will usually give your web page less than 60 seconds of their attention, so write main ideas that are clear even at a glance. Use simple, concise language to lay out your article. Use bullet points and lists to help the important information stand out.
Again, you want to remain on top of your game when it comes to your marketing strategies and methods, but without first learning about these methods, you won't be as successful as you would like. With the help of this article and the tips provided, you could learn about article promotion and gain a better understanding of a highly effective method of marketing online today.
Keep yourself aware of what is available online to help you improve your article writing. Products to save time and make more money are everywhere these days. Try to get all the aid you can get. Article marketing is an extremely competitive field, so take all the help you can get.

Q: Can tar verify integrity of untarred files on destination disk? Example:
I create a.tar.gz from the file "a.txt" (so I used the -z option). Let's say the checksum of the file a.txt before it's added to the archive is "abc123".
When I untar and "a.txt" is written to disk, can I make it so tar checks that the checksum of a.txt on the destination disk is "abc123" and fail if it isn't the same?

A: I don't think that tar has this ability built in however you could run
md5sum -c a.txt

After you've untar'd it.
Example:
$ md5sum file > a.txt
$ tar -czvf a.tgz /etc/hosts
$ tar -xzvf a.tgz
$ md5sum -c a.txt
file: OK

Finances last concern of fishermen impacted by Swissair catastrophe
COUNTY - Aspotogan Peninsula and St. Margarets Bay fishermen are more concerned with the victims of Swissair Flight 111 than lost fishing time.
Blandford resident and New Harbour fisherman David Jollymore says, "I'd like to get fishing in the near future, don't get me wrong, but you have to realize it wasn't an accident of choice and everyone feels so bad about it. No one caused it and 229 people lost their lives and the clean-up isn't done yet, so, to me, as a person, to start thinking about my own needs, I feel would be somewhat selfish."
Mr. Jollymore says area fishermen may ask the federal Department of Fisheries to establish a no-fishing zone at the crash site for a year to 18 months out of respect for the families of the victims of Swissair Flight 111.
"I think in this area most of our fishermen would be more than willing, even after the site is cleaned up, to have the Department of Fisheries mark off a one mile zone where the crash zone is designated as a no fishing area. We think this will show the fishermen are sympathetic to the crash and what it caused."
He adds navy divers are telling fishermen they expect the salvage and clean-up operation will be completed before the end of October.
Mr. Jollymore can't fish because he works within an exclusion zone established by the military that surrounds the crash site. "Our boats are actually closer to the crash site than anyone else. We usually gillnet and mackerel fish until lobster fishing time. I hope to get out early this week if they lessen the search area a little bit."
"Down the road," he says, he'd like to see fishermen compensated, once the losses are totalled. Swissair presented a publically undisclosed offer last week to cover the short-term needs of fishermen impacted by the disaster. A long-term package is still to be negotiated between the provincial and federal governments and the airline company. The provincial government will not directly compensate fishermen.
Mr. Jollymore says many fishermen and residents, including himself, have been literally walking around in a daze, trying to cope with the enormity of the crash. "You feel like someone, some day is going to pinch you and wake you up. It's only the last few days I started thinking about the loss of fishing."
Although fishermen are experiencing financial hardships, the 40-year industry veteran says, they will survive. "We're getting by. Everybody helps everybody. That's the way fishermen are. That's the way we've lived and will always live. That's why so many fishermen went out when the plane went down."
John Levy, secretary-treasurer of the South Shore Gillnet Fishermen's Association, says he finds it difficult to talk about fishermen's issues due to the scope of the disaster and the hardships it caused family members of the passengers and crew of the Swissair Flight 111.
"There are fishers that are definitely affected by this and there are some - not everybody - that should be compensated."
In the short term, he says, the financial consequences are minimal, especially since the exclusion zone was reduced in size last week to the point where most fishermen in the region are working again. Those hurt by the disaster, he says, work close to the exclusion zone. He adds he is not unhappy with Swissair, who have met with representatives in this area. "They are trying."
The primary concern now for fishermen is harvesting mackerel for use as lobster bait. However, tuna fishermen, he says, were hurt by the disaster.
Robert Conrad, president of the St. Margarets Bay Tuna Association, agrees. "The disaster occurred simultaneously with the arrival of the fish, which would have been our peak season. It's now wanning, so we have taken significant losses."
At the first of September, he says, tuna are more plentiful and fishermen receive higher prices for their catch. "There were significant numbers landed (before the September 2 crash) which indicated we have been taking severe losses. We had one of the fastest starts to the season but we understand the nature of the accident and willingly assisted when we could and stayed out of the way when desired."
He says members of the fleet, which numbers approximately 90, are hoping they won't experience a repeat of last year's season, when the large fish migrated out of the area near the end of September. "Each day a few fish are caught. If we can maintain the catch into October, then the season will be modestly successful."
All, but two to four members of the fleet, he says, who normally fish near the exclusion zone, are now working again. "For most of the fleet, fishing is open again, for which we are very thankful. We're thankful for Swissair coming to understand - at a meeting we had last Sunday (September 13) - the situation that has been created primarily for tuna fishermen in the area." He adds officials from Swissair have been, "very responsible in their approach to the disaster and how it pertains to the fishery."
Mr. Conrad says he recently received a letter from a, "stranger" in Ontario thanking him and other fishermen for their sacrifices. He says the letter demonstrated to him what is most important. "The fishermen that night participated in an event they never want to participate in again which has left scars that will last forever. The economic scars are minor in comparison."

Absolute return fixed income strategies can help investors ride out market volatility even when the unexpected happens.
Bond yields are rising sharply, central banks are getting ready to trim stimulus and clouds of political uncertainty hang over much of the developed world. In tough conditions like these, when bond investors can no longer count on falling interest rates to generate performance, flexible absolute return strategies could prove to be a more reliable source of income and capital protection.
The key is not just to identify pockets of value in the market, but also to combine that with stringent scenario analysis that aims to create a more favourable trade-off between risk and return. The result is a portfolio that should perform well over the long term.
Our investment positioning in emerging market provides a good example.
Emerging market hard currency debt is one of our key medium-term investment convictions; we like the asset class because it trades at cheap valuations and because emerging sovereign borrowers possess a relatively strong capacity and willingness to repay debt. During the first nine months of the year, this was indeed one of the best performing asset classes within fixed income, delivering returns of 8.5 per cent – unusually good in today's low-yield world. In November, however, the tables were turned. Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election and a stronger US dollar sparked a sharp sell-off.
That's because when we decided to invest in EM debt, our scenario analysis showed the position could be a volatile one. So to shield the portfolio from any potential swings in that market, we combined the investment with short positions in EM currencies versus the US dollar. In doing so, we believed we could achieve a more favourable trade-off between risk and return. The position has begun to bear fruit.
As investors sold out of bonds from Latin America to Asia, the currencies of those countries dropped. In fact, the retreat on the foreign exchange market was more pronounced than in the fixed income space.
By being long US dollar EM bonds and short EM currencies, we were able to generate good returns from the combined position over the year, securing an advantage over investors just holding a long position in EM debt.
We are sticking with this EM investment pair into 2017. The short currency position should generate good returns if the US president elect delivers on his pledge to crack down on global trade, while the bond investments should win out if he softens his stance on protectionism.
There are other ways in which we have accounted for potential Trump U-turns in our portfolio.
In one scenario, we can see him go, metaphorically speaking, "guns a-blazing", and try to achieve as much as possible during his first 100 days as president.
That would involve implementing his fiscally-expansive campaign pledges such a cut in the corporate tax rate to 15 per cent from 35 per cent and USD500 billion of infrastructure spending. To counter this fiscal stimulus and the inflationary pressures it would unleash, the US Federal Reserve would probably respond by speeding up interest rate hikes. In financial markets, the dollar would likely do well against emerging currencies, benefitting from both Fed monetary tightening and from a Trump-induced pick-up in economic growth.
Under a different scenario, we assume it would take longer for Trump to push through his policies and that some of them may be moderated or even abandoned along the way. The current status quo – of relatively modest fiscal stimulus, a friendly stance on global trade and gradual tightening from the Fed – will thus prevail for a while longer. In this instance, we would see value in longer-dated US Treasuries and investment grade corporates, both of which are priced for much higher levels of inflation than would be likely to materialise.
Instead of trying to predict Trump's moves – a thankless task as recent events have proven – we think a far more prudent approach is to prepare for all eventualities. That means going long the US dollar versus emerging market currencies, whilst supplementing the position with a small overweight in 30-year Treasuries and an allocation to bonds issued by US industrial firms. The latter position should do well under either scenario, with US industrials benefitting from Trump's domestic focus and his commitments to generate more US jobs and increase infrastructure spending.
Combined, these positions should help deliver attractive returns regardless of the path US president-elect Trump takes. Crucially, they all also offer attractive value in their own right.
There are, of course, countless possible scenarios that could play out across the globe and it is impossible to prepare for or even predict all of them. Fortunately, for the purposes of investment, many scenarios can be grouped together based on the binary outcomes that they are likely to produce.
The fate of Europe is a case in point. Here, risks abound, including the French presidential poll, the general election in Germany and the eventual unwinding of the European Central Bank's quantitative easing stimulus programme.
Together, these potential threats create a strong case for investors to be prepared for a sell-off in riskier asset classes. One way to insure portfolios against that eventuality is to hold a short position in Italian debt and, to a lesser extent, French debt against German Bunds.
The flipside is that all the hurdles may eventually be successfully negotiated, resulting in a strong pick-up in risk appetite and a rally in Europe's riskier assets in the second half of next year. To prepare for this scenario, we have built positions in corporate debt in the financial sector where valuations are particularly compelling at the moment.
The current politically-charged environment in Europe also fits in with our longer-term outlook for a stuttering and protracted path to euro zone reforms, with many risks – and investment opportunities – along the way.
All in all, there are a lot of things for investors to be concerned about in the coming year. But one thing that we are not worried about – contrary, perhaps, to some of our peers – is inflation.
We accept that there is likely to be some short-term upward pressure on prices, not least because the favourable base effects from the past are now fading out. A recovering global economy is another factor, particularly through the prism of stronger US wage growth.
But inflation would be rising from very low base levels and global policymakers are standing by ready to act to contain it. Our view is that as long as the major central banks have a mandate to control inflation, we are unlikely to see price rises accelerate much beyond what is currently discounted by the market. We therefore don't think that inflation will get out of control in the coming months or reach levels that would warrant concerns from an investment point of view.

Saving BBC Recipes Website
There's been much coverage today of plans to remove the recipe pages from the BBC website.
The UK Web Archive has been collecting selected pages from the BBC, mainly news, for over ten years and since 2013 we have attempted to capture the entirety of the BBC web estate. A small number of pages are available on the Open UK Web Archive website. Most of the BBC's online presence, however, is only available in the reading rooms of UK Legal Deposit libraries, including both of the British Library sites at St. Pancras and Boston Spa in Yorkshire.
We have today instigated a further crawl of the BBC website with the specific aim of ensuring that we save the recipes from the food pages. We can also report that the Internet Archive, Library of Alexandria and the National Library of Iceland have also captured these pages so their future is assured.
Polly Russell, British Library Curator and Food Historian says
"Cookery books, like cookery websites, obviously serve a practical purpose but that is not all. For historians, sociologists and anthropologists they also tell us about people's culinary aspirations and anxieties, cultural tastes and trends, dietary preoccupations, social expectations and economic conditions. They are, therefore, a rich source for researchers. So while it's sad news to hear about plans to close the much trusted and well-loved BBC Food website, it's a relief that the British Library is going to be able to archive the website for posterity."

Not sure what copyright is all about? This session is a general overview of copyright with some straight talk about what it's for, key exceptions like fair use, and different approaches to thinking about copyright for content you create as well as using others' work. We'll also discuss Creative Commons licenses and how they can help you share your collections responsibly.
In this modern world, exhibits are no longer confined to the four walls of our institutions. Virtual wall space provides unique opportunities for visitors to experience our collections from the comforts of their own homes. While technology presents us with great possibilities for creativity, it also can create stumbling blocks that stand in the way of realizing our visions. Costs, lack of technical know-how, and limitations on presentation can be daunting. This panel of speakers will discuss how they surmounted these issues to create engaging online exhibits.
The use of forensic software and hardware, traditionally employed by law enforcement, has spread to special collections libraries and archives as they seek to preserve electronic records for future generations. This session will focus on the research and development of best practices and protocols for dealing with born-digital archival materials, and putting these into action using a real-life test case -- an external hard drive given to Boston College's John J. Burns Library as part of the personal papers of Irish soprano and harpist Mary O'Hara.
So now that we've built it, how do we make certain that we're maximizing the benefits of digital collections to our users? We will explore five-six key issues, including the impact of expanded collaboration, look at the role of community engagement, and address the issue of long term access to digital collections, to consider how the Massachusetts Digital Commonwealth will take its program to the next step. The presentation will include audience participation.
Digital Commonwealth 2.0: It's Alive!
This session will provide an overview of the newly launched Digital Commonwealth site. Take a tour through Massachusetts history courtesy of an astounding cornucopia of content and collections contributed by libraries, archives, and museums from across the state. A full demonstration of the system's capabilities will be provided, and participants will get an introduction to the workflows used to ingest objects via manual submission, batch upload, and OAI-PMH harvest. An overview of the architecture used to store, manage, and provide access to digital objects in the repository will be included; other topics will include content models, descriptive metadata, creating collections, access permissions, and how the site feeds content into the Digital Public Library of America.
The Digital Public Library of America brings together the riches of America's libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world. In this presentation, Franky Abbott will explain the DPLA's mission and strategies for building and displaying content aggregated from digital collections including state and regional libraries like Digital Commonwealth.
This presentation will tell the story of the Massachusetts State Library's project to conserve and digitize one of its most valuable resources, the 17th-century manuscript by Mayflower passenger and Plymouth settler William Bradford. Beth Carroll-Horrocks will describe the document and its author, the manuscript's history of travels, the decision to preserve it, and the steps taken to secure funding and conservation services. Jessica Henze, the conservator who treated the volume, will present an account of the conservation and digitization performed by NEDCC.
Grant-writing is grant-writing! However, all grant proposals contain certain core elements. This session will focus on the core components and approaches to writing grant proposals whether for digital or other projects. While this session will not guarantee you a successful proposal (no one can do that), it will enable you to approach proposal-writing in a systematic and thorough manner.
Publishing digital assets online is just the first step in reaching your intended audience. Take the process further with audience engagement strategies that invite your audience to interact, collaborate and actively contribute in new and exciting ways. Engagement ideas range from tagging to crowdsourcing transcriptions to inviting new contributions to your collection.

Somaya Reece's Net Worth and Earnings
Cars and Exotic Trips
The gorgeous "LHNNY" star Somaya Reece's Net Worth is $4 million. Somaya amassed such praiseworthy net worth by her fantastic career as a model and an actress.
Somaya is one of the few starting cast members of the famous American series "Love and Hip Hop: New York." The actress Somaya gained her popularity through her viral marketing, especially on MySpace. She received over 5000 friend request every day when she was at her peak.
Somewhere in January 2011, XXL magazine recognized Somaya as a "Female Emcee You Need To Know."
Former "LHHNY" star Somaya Reece has a Net Worth of $4 million. It is from her career as an actress and model that Somaya Reece's net worth is such high. She was in the first and second season of "Love and Hip Hop: New York."
Karlie Redd from Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta takes home $50,000 per season and has a Net Worth of $1 million. Since Somaya was cast of LHHNY a while ago, her salary must also be somewhere around that range or less than that.
Besides being a reality TV actress, Somaya has also been featured in many movies. Some of Somaya Recce's films include Slammed, Ride or Die, and Miss Cast Away. We are sure Somaya must have charged a reasonable sum of money for her role.

Senators Reach Agreement on Key Component of Stimulus Deal, Finalizing Details
President Donald Trump departs on the South Lawn of the White House, in Washington, on Dec. 12, 2020. (Al Drago/Getty Images)
Trump Calls for More Stimulus Payments: 'It Was the Fault of China,' Not Americans
By Jack Phillips
President Donald Trump implored Congress to pass a bill that includes direct stimulus payments after the provision was rejected last week.
"Why isn't Congress giving our people a Stimulus Bill?" the president asked Saturday night. "It wasn't their fault, it was the fault of China," he added, referring to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus that caused a worldwide pandemic. "GET IT DONE, and give them more money in direct payments."
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) worked together to include the stimulus payments. Reports have indicated that the final bill will include $600 stimulus payments.
Hawley had pushed for another round of $1,200 stimulus payments, which were issued under the CARES Act in March. Some Democrats had sought a similar amount, or more.
Ahead of Trump's tweet, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said that the Senate and House may vote on a $900 billion stimulus measure as early as Sunday, noting that lawmakers are close to hashing out a deal.
Hawley, in his own tweet, remarked that he was "assured by Senate GOP leadership that #COVID direct assistance to working people IS in the #covid relief bill under negotiation & will remain. And on that basis, I will consent to a brief continuing resolution to allow negotiations to conclude." He added: "I will continue to fight for $1200/ person and $500 (min) for kids for working families."
"If things continue on this path and nothing gets in the way, we'll be able to vote tomorrow," Schumer told reporters on Saturday.
They also face a government funding deadline of midnight on Sunday, which risks a government shutdown without any action.
Senator Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican, had insisted on language that would guarantee that the central bank could not revive emergency lending programs for small businesses and state and local governments after Dec. 31, when they expire under the CARES Act COVID-19 relief legislation passed in March.
Republicans had said the programs are an unnecessary government interference in private business that politicizes the Fed. They accused Democrats of seeking to extend them into 2021 as a backdoor way to provide unchecked funds for state and local governments controlled by members of their party.
Democrats, Republicans, and the White House have been negotiating for more than six months over the scope and size of the bill. Democrats in May initially proposed a $3.3 trillion bill known as the HEROES Act, which was shot down by the White House and Senate Republicans as too expensive with too many unneeded provisions.
Later, when talks restarted in the late summer, negotiations between the White House and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stalled. Trump said that Pelosi was ultimately responsible for the impasse as she didn't want the president to benefit politically before the Nov. 3 election.

A light microscope reveals the rhombic (left) and prismatic crystal forms of glucose isomerase.
Crystallizing a protein can be a shot in the dark. No one quite knows how protein crystals form, so researchers frequently must use trial and error to find the right crystallization conditions. Now, scientists have used cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), the technique that took home the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, to watch the earliest stages of protein crystal formation (Nature 2018, DOI: 10.1038/nature25971). What they learned allowed them to generate one desired crystal form, or polymorph, selectively, which could be handy for protein structure determination or in protein drug formulation.
Prism-shaped crystals sprout from a gel of glucose isomerase (left).
Crystallization starts with tiny clusters of protein molecules that act as seeds, says Mike Sleutel of Vrije Universiteit Brussels, who led the work. The clusters are too small to be seen with a light microscope, and they're unstable. To address both challenges, Sleutel, Alexander E. S. Van Driessche of Grenoble Alps University, and colleagues opted to rapidly freeze their protein samples to halt molecular motion, and to get snapshots at various time points during crystallization with cryo-EM. Other techniques have provided a partial glimpse of crystallization, but nobody had tried cryo-EM on these types of samples before. "There were doubts we would even see anything," Sleutel says.
They observed the protein glucose isomerase, which Sleutel has been studying for a decade, after they added reagents for initiating crystallization. Researchers know this protein's structure and that it can crystallize into a diamondlike rhombic form or a rectangular prismatic form. Through their cryo-EM studies, Sleutel's team learned that the path to each polymorph is different. The path to the rhombic form follows classic crystal formation theory; the smallest seeds detected were miniature versions of the full-sized crystals. In contrast, the prisms form by a multistep pathway that researchers hadn't considered before. First, protein molecules assemble into linear nanorods. The nanorods group into fibers and eventually yield prismatic crystals. Seeing nanorods "made our jaws drop," Sleutel says. "These particles were completely unexpected."
In another surprise, the team saw nanorod fibers in samples that failed to crystallize. The samples had formed a gel, which is a dead end to a crystallographer, much like black tar at the bottom of a flask is to an organic chemist. However, when the researchers transferred a piece of the gel into a solution that had previously elicited rhombic crystals, prism-shaped crystals sprouted. The fact that the team got prisms instead of rhombic crystals suggests that gels can be used as seeding agents specific to a given polymorph.
The team found another way to generate one polymorph selectively. By examining the cryo-EM images and the protein's known crystal structure, they determined which amino acids on the protein's surface make intermolecular contacts in each of the two crystal forms. By mutating these amino acids, they could destabilize one form and promote the formation of the other. The study was limited to just one protein, but the team hopes to apply the technique to others, Sleutel says.
Peter G. Vekilov, who studies protein crystal formation at the University of Houston, calls the research "outstanding." Others' work, including his own, suggests that protein crystals form from an amorphous, liquid-like state. Vekilov thinks the disordered state may still be present in these crystallization pathways, but he says that doesn't diminish the impact of the team's results, especially the surprising discovery of the nanorod pathway. If the amorphous state were present, Sleutel says cryo-EM should be able to detect it , but after hours of looking, he and his colleagues did not observe it.
According to Karen Allen, a crystallographer at Boston University, getting the right crystal form is of utmost importance for some studies. For instance, sometimes researchers want to get a structure of a protein bound to a given molecule and one crystal form blocks access to the site at which the molecule would bind. Scientists already tweak protein surfaces to enhance crystallization, "but nudging crystals toward a specific form has not been reasonably approachable," she adds. She cautions, however, that the team's mutation strategy for polymorph control was feasible because the team already knew glucose isomerase's three-dimensional structure. Sleutel acknowledges that the gel strategy is more universal because it doesn't require prior knowledge of the protein's structure.
The findings could be "hugely valuable" to drugmakers seeking one specific polymorph, says Naír Rodríguez-Hornedo at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy. Different polymorphs may have different solubilities, an important factor in formulation, she explains, and the insights in this work could prevent valuable material from being wasted on trial-and-error screens of myriad crystallization conditions.

Book Review: Milan Kundera–the new and the old: The Festival of Insignificance and The Unbearable Lightness of Being
August 1, 2015 August 2, 2015 / jpbohannon / Leave a comment
The Festival of Insignificance
illustration 2015 by jpbohannon
(recreation of book cover art)
A few weeks back I read a review of Milan Kundera's newest novel, The Festival of Insignificance. The review was warm, discussing the narrative quirks and the philosophic resonances. In the review, however, the critic spent much time on Kundera's earlier work, particularly The Unbearable Lightness of Being. It was the second time that week that that novel had come to my attention.
A friend on mine was in semi-seclusion and had begun reading the novel aloud to her cat. (Although, out of compassion, she did not read him the passages where Karenin the dog is in his final stages of cancer and must be euthanized.) The cat stayed attentive through all of it.
Kundera himself would love this story.
Having no immediate access to Kurenda's latest, I pulled down from the shelf my worn copy of The Unbearable Lightness of Being and began reading it myself. It was the sixth or seventh time I had read it.
What draws the reader into the novel are the characters' personalities, both heroic and damaged; the politics, both sexual and global; and the self-knowledge with which each of the three characters, Tomas, Teresa, and Sabina, work at achieving and which causes readers to reflect inward themselves. At least, that's what happened to me.
And of course, there is the quirky, sometimes humorous interruptions by the narrator and the self-aware, redoubling rhythms of the narration.
During the course of my reading, I also had to attend a funeral. And at the luncheon that followed, I sat next to a woman who has always reminded me of the actress, Juliette Binoche, which of course reminded me of Binoche's role in the film version of The Unbearable Lightness of Being. That my friend was from East Germany underscored the connection with this Eastern European novel.
Here is the trailer from the 1988 film:
And so, I finally got the newest, The Festival of Insignificance, out of the public library, and began reading it the moment I finished the earlier work. It is a slim volume, a mere 115 pages in the American edition, and it features much of what is admirable in Kundera: Characters who "live examined lives" and are notable for their philosophic wonderings and reflective attitudes, a narrator who periodically pops into the story to discuss the workings of the novel itself, and a level of global political awareness that is not often present in American novels.
And there is Kundera's wry humor.
The flap of the book jacket cites a passage from an earlier novel, Slowness, in which the wife of the main character tells her husband:
"You've often told me you meant to write a book one day that would have not a single serious word in it. … I warn you: watch out. Your enemies are lying in wait."
The Festival of Insignificance purportedly is that book, and it begins with a discussion of the navel. Or at least what one character, Alain, feels is the eroticization of the navel in the 21st century. This thought comes about as Alain walks down a street in Paris and notices the many cropped tops and low-hung jeans — and thus the navels — of so many young women. And, it is this immediate preoccupation with the navel that is the cord that binds the various stories of the novel together.
Through his musings about the navel's surge in fashionable exposure, the middle-aged Alain remembers the last time he saw his mother, who had wanted him aborted and abandoned him when he was two and whom he last saw when he was six. This is paired with another friend whose mother is dying, which is then linked to Joseph Stalin who gave birth to an era of madness and horror in twentieth-century Europe.
In fact, Stalin appears throughout the novel, finally making an appearance in modern day Paris, at a children's show in the Luxembourg Gardens, riding in a tiny children's carriage.
As with all of Kundera, there are serious musings on European and human history, on disease and finality, on love and on sex. These are thoughtful and thought-provoking discussions which nest comfortably in the interior lives of his main characters.
Kundera's thesis is that in the vastness of the universe, human life AND human history is relatively insignificant–that human history is merely a "festival of insignificance." And while there is much that seems "insignificant" in Kundera's novel, the reality is quite different.
Human significance might not have cosmic ramifications in the universe, at large. It is, however, greatly personal, and often has repercussions through the larger community. So in this novel, the spilled Armagnac, the little lie about one's health, the lines of people at a Chagall exhibit, all play a "significant" role in the lives of a limited circle of acquaintances. Our lives, our acquaintances, our histories are all rather parochial, to be sure, but they are ours, and they are all that we have.
The Festival of Insignificance is at first look a slight and whimsical book. But it is much more than that. It is enjoyable and funny and thoughtful and wise.
And despite the cited desire of the writer in Kundera's Slowness, there are more than a few serious words in it.

FROM ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
FOR RELEASE: AT WILL DATED: 1/13/2021
MOVIE REVIEW by Richard Roeper
"PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN" Three and a half stars Cassie ..... Carey Mulligan
Focus Features presents a film written and directed by Emerald Fennell. Rated R (for strong violence including sexual assault, language throughout, some sexual material and drug use). Running time: 113 minutes. Available Jan. 15 on demand.
Cassie is only 30 years old, but it appears that she's permanently shelved her dreams, has retreated into a protective emotional cocoon and is barely present in her own life. Having dropped out of medical school despite being a star student, Cassie still lives with her parents, displays little professional ambition, doesn't go out on dates and seems to have only one friend: her boss at the coffee shop where she works as a barista.
Not that Cassie never goes out. One night a week, she hits the town by herself and appears to get so hammered she nearly blacks out. Inevitably, some random, sleazy guy on the prowl will make the moves on Cassie and take her back to his place and try to have sex with her, even though he believes her to be intoxicated and she's telling the guy to stop, please stop.
If he doesn't stop, he's about to feel the wrath of Cassie.
"Promising Young Woman" is a smart, provocative, pitch-black dark comedy and revenge movie with an astonishingly powerful, deeply layered performance by Carey Mulligan as Cassie, who exacts instant vigilante justice on the predatory creeps who try to take advantage of her when she's pretending to be highly intoxicated. It's a #MeToo dark fantasy of sorts, with the antiheroine methodically destroying the lives of the men who try to wrong her in present day -- and eventually the men who committed unspeakable atrocities to her best friend, Nina, back in college, leaving Nina in such pain she dies by suicide. Writer-director-producer Emerald Fennell (who is also an actor and plays Camilla Parker Bowles on "The Crown") delivers a sensational first feature film with this well-crafted, bold, visually stunning and emotionally resonant gem.
Mulligan is spectacularly good at playing characters within the character, as Cassie alters her physical appearance and her personality to adapt to various situations and locales. At home with her parents (Jennifer Coolidge and Clancy Brown), who are understandably worried about Cassie's state of mind, Cassie plays the part of the closed-off, antisocial daughter. At work, Cassie engages in snappy banter with her supervisor and best friend Gail (Laverne Cox, always terrific). When Cassie goes out, she plays the part of the lonely and drunk party girl looking for a good time. And she takes on a fourth persona -- that of a well-adjusted young woman who is starting to get her life back together and even thinking about returning to med school -- after a former college classmate named Ryan (Bo Burnham), who is now a pediatric surgeon, happens into the coffee shop one day and immediately begins flirting with her, which eventually leads to an actual and seemingly healthy romance.
Cassie and Ryan establish a true connection and begin to fall in love, and certain scenes play like a mainstream rom-com, e.g., when they perform an impromptu karaoke of the execrable pop song "Stars Are Blind" by Paris Hilton in a pharmacy. (The song is awful, and it's a revelation that ANY two people in the world would actually know all the words, which is what makes the scene so endearing.) But Cassie is still haunted by the past and continues to orchestrate scenarios by which she can confront a number of individuals connected to Nina's tragedy, from the now-wife (Alison Brie) of one of the rapists to the silk-stocking attorney (Alfred Molina) who defends sexual assault suspects to the medical school dean (Connie Britton) who swept the scandal under the rug in order to protect her reputation and the reputation of the college. Each one of these scenes grows increasingly tense, almost uncomfortably so for the viewer, as Cassie eventually drops the pleasantries and goes in for the emotional kill.
In the final act, "Promising Young Woman" comes close to crushing plausibility as Cassie embarks on one last mission to destroy the lives of every single person who attacked Nina and every single person who stood by and laughed as Nina was repeatedly raped. She doesn't want to hear any excuses about everyone being young and drunk and caught up in the moment; she doesn't want to hear about how these people have become responsible members of the community, with solid jobs and good families. Justice will be served, and if dozens of lives are shattered beyond repair, Cassie is good with that.
Minireview: (Revenge thriller, R, 113 minutes). In a smart, provocative, pitch-black dark comedy and revenge movie, the antiheroine Cassie exacts vigilante justice on the predatory creeps who try to take advantage of her. Carey Mulligan's performance as Cassie is astonishingly powerful and deeply layered. Rating: Three and a half stars.

Q: execute SSH command on Rasperry Pi with Android App I am trying to send a command to my Raspberry Pi using an Android App with SSH. The command should only be performed by the Raspberry Pi, i don't need to save any OutputStreams. It is working when i send the command "sudo reboot", since the Pi is performing a reboot when i press the Button on the App. What i actually want to do is start a program by using first the command "cd Desktop" and then "sudo java -classpath .:classes:/opt/pi4j/lib/'*' SimpleTextServer".
I figured out how to use the following code using This. The external libs are included, the app itself is working, it's only about sending the commands to the Pi and that the Pi executes these commands.
Here is the code (not everything included i hope this)
public class SlimpleTextClientActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

    private Button buttonSSH;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_slimple_text_client);

    //Button press event listener
    buttonSSH.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            new AsyncTask<Integer, Void, Void>() {
                @Override
                protected Void doInBackground(Integer... params) {
                    try {
                        Ausgabe = executeRemoteCommand("pi", "raspberry", "38.110.23.254", 22);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    return null;
                }
            }.execute(1);
        }
    });
}

     public static String executeRemoteCommand(String username,String password,String hostname,int port)
        throws Exception {
    JSch jsch = new JSch();
    Session session = jsch.getSession(username, hostname, port);
    session.setPassword(password);

    // Avoid asking for key confirmation
    Properties prop = new Properties();
    prop.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
    session.setConfig(prop);

    session.connect();

    // SSH Channel
    ChannelExec channelssh = (ChannelExec)
                session.openChannel("exec");
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    channelssh.setOutputStream(baos);

    // Execute command
    //channelssh.setCommand("cd Desktop");
    //channelssh.setCommand("sudo java -classpath .:classes:/opt/pi4j/lib/'*' SimpleTextServer");
    channelssh.setCommand("sudo reboot");
    channelssh.connect();
    channelssh.disconnect();

    return baos.toString();
}
}

Thank you very much for your help, if i should post any further code or information please tell me.
Michael
edit: so i am sure the code itself is working, if i send the command "lsusb > home/pi/Text.txt" for example, it creates a text file at this directory with the output of the terminal. So how can i change the code that it only runs the command (and maybe shows it at the Terminal on the Raspberry Pi)?

A: As per Multiple commands using JSch
you could try:
channelssh.setCommand("cd Desktop;sudo java -classpath .:classes:/opt/pi4j/lib/'*' SimpleTextServer");

Q: What is the max size of Django cache and is there any chance to extend that? I'm working on a project where i have to deal with big data (big number of rows)
To make the app fast I'm using redis with Django cache , I'm selecting all the data from Table A and saving it to cache as a json array, and later I select, update and delete from cache, I also have other tables B, c, D ... etc
Each table could hold more then 3 million rows in the future, probably more and more ...
I was wounding if Django cache can handle that?
If not what's the maximum size or rows that Django cache can store?
Is there a way to extend that, if not what are the order solutions for this problem?
I don't want to select data always from database, Because speed does matters here

A: It totally depends on your RAM strength. You have no limits in Redis. datasize is limited to the amount of RAM you've allowed Redis to use.
don`t worry ,3 milions or more is an small data!
but if you have very big data you can try one of the following approach:

*

*Store the actual content/data on disk and store the index of data in
redis. You can use secondary indexes by redis.

*Encode/Compress your data using any loss-less compression technique
and then store in redis. Redis will not compress data for you.


Our congregation has been having fun with "Stewardship Jeopardy" on Sunday mornings. "Stewardship Jeopardy" is a sort of parody of the game show "Jeopardy." All the questions have to do with stewardship and how faithful giving supports the ministry of the church and also the mission of the church. We've been reminded that our giving supports Habitat for Humanity, Crossroads Connection prison ministry, Siena-Francis House and the Ambassador.
And, talking about jeopardy has been helpful to me. Jeopardy means being in danger of failure or loss or harm. Yet, stewardship means trusting God with our lives and our resources. "Stewardship Jeopardy" is almost an oxymoron, like 'jumbo shrimp,' or 'awful good.' When we practice stewardship – giving a portion of resources back to God – our lives become filled with faithfulness and gain and well-being.
Stewardship is a faith practice. It takes mindfulness and prayer. And, it is a way of drawing closer to God. I hope that you will consider growing in stewardship – you will gain and so will those around you.

The Scheming of Kirby Bain by Marla Cordle
(A short story derived from the author's third novel, The Fifth Number)
It was in the way the sparrows dipped and darted, synchronizing their flight pattern. They created a quivering net low in the sky, and an itch inside Kirby Báin.
The damned bird would be waiting for him. He knew it like he knew Berlynn MacChesney had a crush on his dad. Her fragile eyes, like bluebells, had a light in them on such occasion she was near the man, a light like the one in the eyes of the goose that was constantly after him. He reasoned that passion was passion after all, whether inspired from spite or affection.
It was just his luck that his feathered enemy enjoyed waiting for him in the undergrowth by the pond. At that moment she probably nestled as quietly as the ferns in the still of the woods. She had done this twice already that week and he'd tired of it, brought Pete's gun this time.
The cluster of tiny fowl now far in the distance, appeared as nothing more than a cloud of dust in the twilight of the autumn evening and he looked down, his thoughts turning unexpectedly back to Berlynn - Berlynn with her tousled, blonde curls and dopey moon eyes.
His father was a widower of two years, hardly interested in the attention of a girl barely a teenager. He, on the other hand, the same age as the girl, lived for a glance or a smile from her.
It was a moot point, however, considering Berlynn was so besotted with his dad she could scarcely make it a handful of minutes before saying something ridiculous like, 'I can make him happy, Kirby. When I find the spell token that my great grandmother hid, I'll make my wish and he'll fall in love with me. You'll see.'
Why exactly was she so smitten? His old man was ancient in comparison to her, and he was miserable, still haunted by the fate that had befallen them the year before.
The guy didn't have a sliver of space in his boarded up heart for a dumb kid like Berlynn and yet the more aloof Larkin Báin was with her, the deeper and more profound her love for him. She'd make a wish? Hell, if it were that easy, he'd done wished a long time ago for her to be crazy about him.
And the kicker was that, though his dad didn't seem to notice her abiding crush, he himself couldn't get away from his awareness of it. It angered him to no end.
He took hold of the rifle, gave it a cursory once over. Never mind that the situation called for less than what it was capable of doing. He'd blow the chest right out of that squawking goose. She'd nailed him once, almost brought the blood even through the coarse fabric of his camouflage pants. Yeah, her business with him was finished.
Shivering, he glanced about himself. As darkness nibbled into the copse of Locust trees, he felt the cold getting into his muscles, making his body, for the moment, stiff like thickening sap. He'd wasted too much time watching the restless monotony of the sparrows. The pernicious bird would find him easy prey, might come from behind, from the deeper of shadows and spear him with her beak before he could get off a shot.
It didn't matter really because before it was over with, she would be reduced to feathers and grisly mush. He would dispose of the carcass, and be done with the old gray menace. Berlynn would see the droplets of blood tomorrow on her way over to bring some pathetic love offering. Perhaps she would see the goose down as it floated on the water like dandelion fluff, but he wouldn't say a thing, he'd let her wonder. The fate of the ill-tempered matriarch of geese would be Berlynn's little mystery to ponder and it would do her some good to realize that not all stories ended happily.
As he coaxed himself up from the not yet winter-hard ground, he realized how much it grated on him that she could cross the property without being flogged by the bird. It was enough that he should have to watch her coming and going all the time, her heart beating to the syllables of his old man's name. Larkin Báin Larkin Báin Larkin Báin.
It was more than what he should have to put up with and though he couldn't control what she felt and for whom, he could certainly do something to upset her predictable little world. He would not do away with the dead goose, but leave it in her path instead, leave it where she would be sure to see it. He would show Berlynn that the world was full of ugly things like mothers dying unexpectedly and fathers forgetting they had sons that needed them.
Hastily, he made his way through the sparse trees toward the pond. He was one of the sparrows, flitting and darting and contemplating migration. What if when he blew to bits old goosey's bird heart, someone heard?
It was simple. If questioned, he would concede that he'd killed her, would say that she had charged him and he was tired of it. What would they do to him? Nothing that really frightened him, that was for sure.
He moved stealthily now, this side of the pond favored by the goose. He listened. It was quiet like a dreamscape, like his parents' broken, old farmhouse. His eyes caught movement in the thicket by the water. The goose's brown feathers, a glimpse of white down tantalizing him. She was roosting perhaps?
A hush. A sigh.
The old girl wasn't on her game and it was too late for her now. Would be no sneaking up on him this time. In came his breath, silent and tense like a hand pulling back on a bow. His gun raised, beads of sweat popped out on his forehead, and he experienced a very pure moment of regret. It would be so much the better if he could see the bird plainly when putting her down. What a sense of purpose would fill him then.
Well, maybe he'd get lucky and blow her head clean off. That would make up for his guesswork, and be a sight to behold at that.
He squeezed the trigger, but slightly, then the rifle bucked against his shoulder. The ensuing silence was as a great calm, the space between canyons perhaps. His body relaxed in measures. The old gray goose was dead – he felt the reality of it constricting his pores - and he giggled with glee, moving toward the bushes. Tomorrow, Berlynn would come this way and he would make sure that she didn't overlook his offering.
Berlynn MacChesney's world was just as stark and barren as his was, and he'd like to see her conjure up a spell to alter what he'd just done. It was time Berlynn grew up. It was time for her to mature if only a little bit, just enough to recognize Larkin Báin was old enough to be her grandfather.
He stepped into the clearing and then moved into the brambles, his head moving left then right but his eyes finding no purchase on the goose.
Brown feathers. No. They had been gray, hadn't they? He was a straight shot, and he'd been close to the thick but skeletal undergrowth. He wove his way through the array of bush, came upon the water's edge.
Glancing down, his eyes froze at the sight of not a goose at all but a ceramic platter of tiny tarts, a cheery red glaze over the top of each. It was a dumb thing the way they looked there on the ground. His eyes, feeling frozen in their sockets, moved anyway and he saw her then, saw Berlynn MacChesney lying crumpled like so much delicate rose-tinted paper run through with burgundy ink.
His gun slipped from his fingers and made a dull sound as it struck the marshy ground. Falling upon Berlynn, he wrested her onto her back, saw the damage profuse and fatal. He almost fainted.
Scurrying backward through the bushes, he clapped a hand over his mouth. Why had she been in the brambles like an animal hiding? What the fuck had she been doing in there!
Whatever the reason, she had, at one point, been on her way to see his sullen father, and he had shot her, blew a chunk of her brains right out the side of her head. She was gone and there was no excuse except he'd intended to kill a goose.
A stupid, freaking goose.
He raised swamped eyes to the sky, and cried out to a heaven he'd stopped believing in months ago; saw a clot of sparrows, as if one, moving this way and that.

The oldest light sources are the stars, and in our case the Sun. On earth the oldest source of light is burning something.
Note 1: Lumens = 12.57 * Standard Candle Power, so 16 SCP is about 200 Lumens. This was the size of Edison's light bulb for many years.
"The replacement of candles and lamps by gas worked a revolution, not only in the convenience of artificial lighting, but in its hygienic relations. The older illuminants in proportion to their luminous effect removed prodigious amounts of oxygen from the air and gave off large quantities of carbonic acid. In the days of candles a brilliantly lighted room was almost of necessity one in which the air was bad."
"It is somewhat startling to realize, but very desirable to remember, that a common gas burner will vitiate the air of a room as much as four or five persons, in so far, at least, as vitiation can be defined by change in the chemical composition of the air."
This is still a problem for women and children in third world countries because they are mostly in the home which uses flame based light and cooking.
Carbon Arc lights (Wiki: Carbon arc lamp) predate heated filament Edison type lamps. They were used in radar controlled W.W. II search lights, lantern slide and movie projectors, inside lights for large public meeting halls, etc.
There are some modern arc lamps that use Tungsten instead of carbon electrodes (Wiki: Arc Lamp, ) for automotive headlights (HID) and other applications where a very bright light is needed. Different gases can be used in the lamp such as (Wiki links follow:) Neon, Argon, Xenon, Krypton, Sodium, metal halide, Mercury vapor. Vietnam era VSS-1/GSS-14 or VSS-3 Xenon arc lights were fitted on tanks and gun trucks, some with near IR filters to they were not typically visible to the enemy.
All (Wiki:fluorescent lamps) are really Mercury vapor arc lamps with a (Wiki: phosphor) coating on the inside of the glass to convert the UV to visible light. This includes the Compact Fluorescent lamps that are green in the sense of using less electricity but not green in the sense of having Mercury inside them.
Mantle type lamps produce much more light than wick type lamps. But mantle lamps do not have a hot body spectrum but instead have narrow peaks in the spectrum due to the rare earth elements that are impregnated into the mantle (Wiki). This is very similar to the "white" LEDs now on the market or to florescent lights.
This would include whale oil lamps, kerosene lamps, gasoline, diesel, etc.
I think the US GI M1950 gas single burner stove is from the Petromax design and was also made by Coleman as their camping stove.
The original air pump was made like a small version of a bicycle tire pump using leather as the seal. The O-Ring modification replaces the leather with an O-ring making for a better seal.
Safety - to prevent the flame from igniting an explosive atmosphere.
These are mostly Gas mantle types. This would include natural gas like was used for public lamps or propane like in camping lamps.
Also "carbide lamps" that combine water and calcium carbide to make acetylene gas. Note that you can not compress acetylene gas, but instead it needs to be absorbed in a liquid, like in welding tanks. The carbide lamps typically have a long skinny white flame that puts out soot. There are small versions of this lamp made to apply the soot to gun sights to make them black (to reduce the reflection of the sun).
Limelight is when Calcium Oxide is heated like with an oxygen-hydrogen flame.
Candles are the most common but there are also chemical pellets what will burn. A wood fire makes light and heat.
This was one of Edison's inventions.
223898 Electric Lamp, T.A. Edison, Jan 27, 1880, 313/315 ; 201/25; 252/502; 264/29.2; 264/DIG.19; 313/333; 313/344; 313/578 - uses a heated filament. Does not include the Edison base.
Note that a filament type lamp will last longer if the filament is horizontal. If the filament is vertical then the top gets hotter and fails sooner. Most bulbs are designed to be either screwed into an overhead fixture or a table lamp but if that same bulb is screwed into a makeup mirror it will fail sooner. There's a trade off in how long a filament lamp will operate and it's rated voltage and brightness. Also there is a cost associated with bulb replacement. All of these need to be taken into account when deciding which bulb is a "better buy".
The standard screw base for light bulbs in the U.S. is the so called E26. This is really a 1" base (25.4 mm) rounded up to 26 mm. In Europe, for an unknown reason, they use E27 for light bulbs. I suspect the E26 and E27 are interchangeable.
There are also arc type lamps. Gas filled lamps like neon get their color from the gas used. Electroluminescent (Wiki:EL) lamps use a very small amount of power but degrade with use and do not look nice after a year or more. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and the newer Organic LEDs are semiconductor junctions that emit light. The fluorescent lamp is an electrical discharge type light source and the compact fluorescent is very energy efficient, but contains Mercury.
514170 Incandescent Electrical Light, N. Tesla, Feb 6, 1894, 313/315 - now called a plasma lamp.
A strobe light is only on for a very short amount of time, but is very bright. Although there are Xenon arc lamps that can be on all the time, they are very specialized.
When a fluorescent lamp bulb is in an RF field it will glow even though it's not connected to anything.
Livermore, Calif - Longest burning light bulb -" The improved incandescent lamp, invented by Adolphe A. Chaillet, was made by the Shelby Electric Company. It is a hand blown bulb with carbon filament. Approximate wattage-4 watts. Left burning continuously in firehouse as a nightlight over the fire trucks."
See the Magnetic Levitating Lamp which uses a low voltage "Filament" COB (Chip On Board) lamp that has the look of an antique lamp.
Light sticks work based on a chemical reaction.
Chemiluminescence (Wiki) - the mechanism used in light sticks.
By combining a radio active source and a phosphor and/or scintillator you get a light that shines 24/7.
In the 1930s and during W.W.II there were clocks, watches and aircraft instruments made where the dial face numbers were hand painted using a combination of radium (Wiki) and phosphorescent (self glowing) paint. At the time they didn't know about the health hazards of radium and the women who applied the radium laced paint put the brush in their mouth to form a fine point. See the PBS documentary American Experience: The Poisoner's Handbook or the book The Poisoner's Handbook. In reading the reviews of the book on Amazon there are those who know chemistry pointing out many technical errors and there are reviews that give the book 5 stars because they were fascinated by the factual history.
When they are activated they give off light. Commonly used in Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) and fluorescent lamps, white LEDs, light sticks.
Some laundry detergents have phosphors to make the whites look whiter (they glow under UV light).
A phosphor can be activated by light (including UV or black light), electrons, radioactivity or chemically.
A scintillator can be a crystal, plastic or liquid that emits a photon of light when it absorbs electromagnetic or atomic particle radiation.
Generate light when struck by electrons, neutrons, photons or other ionizing radiation. Also used in some LEDs to convert near UV to other colors like white.
When what you're measuring is the brightness of "light" then the measurements are weighted so that the answer has the same spectral response of the human eye. This is different than measuring the power of the light source, which has a flat spectral response.
There are a number of characteristics of a light source that can be measured. These can be measured only in the visible range (400 to 700 nm) which is done to determine how a human eye will react to the light, or over a broader wavelength range to see how photo sensors will react to the radiation. There is only a small band of radiation with a wavelength shorter than 400 nm that can propagate through the atmosphere, but there are many orders of magnitude of longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation that propagate called near infrared, far infrared (heat), then various radio waves.
The historical method of measuring the visible brightness of a light was using the Weston Model 594 Photronic Cell and I believe is the basis of many of the specifications relating to visible light.
The Amprobe (Meterman) LM631A Digital Light Meter is the most popular meter used on the Candle Power Forum for testing flashlights. It has calibrated readings in foot-candles (Wiki: foot-candle)or lux (Wiki: lux) (1 lumen per square meter). One foot-candle is equal to approximately 10.764 lux.
An Optical Spectrum Analyzer is used to measure the brightens at different wavelengths. A number of them are on my OSA web page.
While looking for Lighter patents in class 431 Combustion for the year 1906 most of them were for lighting either open flame or incandescent. Fuels were natural gas, gasoline, alcohol, oil.The work carbureter showed up in relation to mixing the fuel and air for lighting.

How is the amount and duration of spousal support determined?
On behalf of Frankfort Law Group posted in family law on Friday, February 8, 2019.
Illinois couples who are getting a divorce will frequently be in dispute over a litany of issues. Family law can be a complicated matter with many concerns for both parties. When one spouse is ordered to pay spousal support - also referred to as alimony or maintenance - the amount that will be paid and how long it will last are common worries. On the other side of the coin, the receiving spouse will want to know how much he or she will receive and its duration. Understanding what the law says about this is a fundamental part of a case. So too is having legal advice throughout the process.
When the court decides on spousal support, there are guidelines that will be used. If the parties' gross income in combination is less than $250,000 and the paying spouse is not obligated to pay support of any kind from a prior relationship, the amount paid will be calculated by discerning the paying spouse's gross income and taking 30 percent and subtracting 20 percent of the receiving spouse's gross income. The amount added to the receiving spouse's gross income cannot go beyond 40 percent of the couple's gross income.
With duration, the length of the marriage will be multiplied by various factors. If it was five years of fewer, it will be multiplied by .20. If it was more than five years but fewer than 10, it will be .40. If it was 10 years but fewer than 15 years, it will be .60. If it was 15 years or more and fewer than 20, it will be .80. When the marriage lasted 20 or more years, the court can order permanent support or support that will equal the duration of the marriage. As an example, those who were married five years or fewer will pay maintenance for one year.
Spousal support is one of the more contentious parts of a divorce and people who are concerned about how much it will be and how long it will last should understand the various considerations that are part of the process. Whether it is from the perspective of the receiving spouse or the paying spouse, legal assistance is a must and a law firm that has a history of assisting clients with their family law issues should be called for help.
