Gävlebocken (doslova gävleský kozel) nebo julbocken i Gävle (doslova vánoční kozel v Gävle) je obří verze tradičního švédského vánočního kozla, vyrobený ze slámy, který se nachází v Slottstorgete v centru Gävle. Staví jej vždy Gävle Centrumsamverkan, které tuto roli převzalo od zaniklého místního sdružení "Söders Köpmän" (doslova "jižní obchodníci"), na začátku adventu. Další menší verzi obvykle staví skupina studentů ze sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" (doslova "Přírodovědná liga") ze školy ve městě Vasa. Kozel sdružení Söders Köpmän však má od poloviny 90. let více publicity. Oba kozlové jsou pravidelně podpalováni vandaly, což je již považováno za tradici.

Časová osa
 1966 Stig Gavlén přišel s nápadem postavit obřího kozla ze slámy. Ale ukázalo se, že Gavlénova organizace nemá dostatek peněz. Pak se Harry Ström, který byl tehdy předsedou neziskové organizace "Södra Kungsgatan Ideella Forening", rozhodl zaplatit veškeré náklady na kozla z vlastní kapsy. Kozel vydržel do silvestrovské půlnoci, kdy shořel. Pachatel byl dopaden a odsouzen za vandalismus. První kozel byl pojištěn a Ström dostal všechny své peníze zpět.

 1967 Nic se nestalo.

 1968 Kozel přežil. Až do tohoto roku nebyl kolem kozla žádný plot, což bylo pro děti populární, protože se mohly hrát uvnitř a kolem kozla schovávanou. Ale říká se, že v jednu noc se uvnitř kozla milovala zamilovaná dvojice. V důsledku toho byl v následujících letech vnitřek kozla chráněn drátěným plotem.

 1969 Kozel na Silvestra shořel.

 1970 Kozel shořel jen šest hodin poté, co byl postaven. Pachateli byli dva velmi opilí teenageři. S pomocí několika finančních přispěvatelů byl kozel znovu postaven.

 1971 Sdružení "Söders Köpmän" omrzelo neustálé podpalování jejich kozlů, a tak je přestali stavět. "Naturvetenskapliga" ze školy ve městě Vasa převzala tuto činnost, ale jejich malý kozel byl rozbit na kousky.

 1972 Kozel se zhroutil z důvodu sabotáže.

 1973 Kozel byl ukraden mužem, který ho umístil na svoji zahradu. Byl odsouzen na 2 roky za krádež.

 1974 Kozel shořel.

 1975 Kozel se zřítil vlastní váhou.

 1976 Student narazil do kozla autem značky Volvo Amazon.

 1977 Kozel shořel.

 1978 Kozel byl znovu rozbit na kousky.
 1979 Kozel shořel už v průběhu stavby. Byl však znovu postaven a později rozbit na kusy.

 1980 Kozel shořel na Štědrý den.

 1981 Nic se nestalo.

 1982 Kozel shořel na Lucii (13. prosince)

 1983 Nohy byly zničeny.

 1984 Kozel shořel 12. prosince, noc před Lucií.

 1985 12,5-metrový kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byla poprvé uveden v Guinnessově knize rekordů. Přesto, že kozel byl chráněn 2 metry vysokým kovovým plotem a střežen vojáky z Gävle, v lednu shořel.

 1986 Obchodníci z Gävle se rozhodli, že budou ochotni postavit kozla znovu. Tehdy byly postaveny dva kozly, jeden sdružením "jižního kupci" a druhý školou ve Vase. Velký kozel shořel noc před Štědrým dnem.

 1987 Byl postaven ohnivzdorný kozel. Shořel však týden před Vánocemi.

 1988 Tento rok se kozlovi nic nestalo, ale sázkaři si poprvé mohli vsadit na osud kozla v anglických sázkových kancelářích.

 1989 Kozel opět shořel předtím, než byl postaven. Finanční příspěvky veřejnosti byly využity na opětovné postavení kozla, který byl spálen v lednu. V březnu 1990 byl postaven další kozel, tentokrát na natáčení švédského filmu s názvem BlackJack.

 1990 Nic se nestalo. Tento rok byl kozel střežena mnohými dobrovolníky.

 1991 Tento rok byl kozel připojen k reklamním saním, které se však ukázaly být nelegálně postavené. Ráno na Štědrý den kozel shořel.

 1992 Tento rok kozel shořel osm dní poté, co byl postaven. Kozel sdružení Naturvetenskapliga shořel ještě v tutéž noc. Kozel sdružení "Söders Köpmän" byl přestavěn, ale shořel 20. prosince. Pachatel tří útoků byl chycen a poslán do vězení. V tomto roce byl také založen výbor pro kozla "Goat Committee".

 1993 Kozel byl znovu uveden do Guinnessovy knihy rekordů. Tentokrát kozel od školy Vasa měřil 14,9 metru. Kozel byl střežen taxikáři a domobranou. Nic se nestalo.

 1994 Nic se nestalo. Tento rok kozel doprovázel švédský národní hokejový tým do Itálie na Mistrovství světa v hokeji.

 1995 Nor byl zatčen za pokus podpálit kozla. Shořel ráno na Štědrý den. Byla znovu postaven před 550. výročím kraje Gävle.

 1996 Nic se nestalo. Poprvé byl kozel střežen webkamerami.

 1997 Kozel byl zničen ohňostrojem. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byl taktéž napaden, ale s menšími poškozeními přežil.

 1998 Kozel shořel 11. prosince i přesto, že zde byla velká sněhová bouře. Byl však znovu postaven.

 1999 Shořel jen pár hodin poté, co byla postaven. Zrekonstruován byl před Lucií. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byl taktéž podpálen.

 2000 Shořel pár dní před Novým rokem. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byl hozen do řeky.

 2001 Kozel začal hořet 23. prosince kvůli 51letému návštěvníkovi z Clevelandu v americkém Ohiu jménem Lawrence Jones, který strávil 18 dní ve vězení poté, co byl odsouzen a bylo mu nařízeno zaplatit 100 000 švédských korun jako náhradu škody. Soud mu také zabavil zapalovač s odůvodněním, že s ním zjevně nebyl schopen zacházet. Jones u soudu uvedl, že není "žhářem kozla" a věřil, že byl součástí legální tradice podpalování kozla. Jakmile Jonese propustili z vězení, odcestoval rovnou zpět do USA, aniž by zaplatil svou pokutu. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskap" byla toho roku také podpálen.

 2002 22letý občan Stockholmu se pokusil kozla sdružení "Söders Köpmän" podpálit, ale neúspěšně. Kozel utrpěl jen menší škody. Na Lucii byl kozel střežen švédskou rozhlasovou, ale i televizní osobností Gertem Flykingem.

 2003 Kozel shořel 12. prosince.

 2004 Kozel shořel 21. prosince, jen tři dny před Štědrým dnem. Na scénu se rychle dostavili hasiči, ale kozla se už nepodařilo zachránit. Žádný nový již postaven nebyl.

 2005 Kozel byla podpálen neznámými vandaly, údajně převlečenými za Santu Clause a Perníčka, kteří 3. prosince o 21:00 na kozla vystřelili hořící šíp. Rekonstrukce proběhla 5. prosince. Hon na žháře odpovědné za zapálení kozla byl uveden 8. prosince ve švédském živém vysílání na TV3 v programu "Nejvíce hledaní" ("Efterlyst")

 2006 V noci 15. prosince O 3:00 se někdo pokusil podpálit kozla tím, že polil pravou přední benzínem. Červená stuha na noze byla mírně spálená a spadla. Spodní část pravé nohy byla ožehlá, ale zbytek kozla se nepodařilo zapálit. Hned ráno byla noha opravena. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byl spálen asi o 00:40 20. prosince, vandalové však nebyli viděni a utekli. V noci 25. prosince se opilému muži podařilo vylézt na kozla. Předtím než dorazila policie, však muž slezl dolů a zmizel. Kozla se nepokoušel podpálit. Kozel sdružení "Söders Köpmän" přežil Silvestr a 2. ledna byl složen a uložen na tajném místě.

 2007 Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byl 13. prosince převrhnut, na Štědrý den podpálen. Kozel sdružení "Söders Köpmän" přežil.

 2008 10 000 lidí se ukázalo na slavnostní inauguraci jednoho z letošních kozlů. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byl vandaly poškozen a později odstraněn. 26. prosince byl podniknut pokus podpálit kozla sdružení "Söders Köpmän", ale kolemjdoucím se podařilo oheň uhasit. Následující den však kozel i tak podlehl plamenům v 03:50 SEČ.

 2009 Neznámá osoba se v noci 7. prosince pokusila podpálit kozla sdružení "Söders Köpmän". Dalším neúspěšným pokusem o víkendu, dne 11. prosince bylo hození kozla sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" do řeky. Viník se pak pokusil, opět bez úspěchu, kozla podpálit. V noci 14. prosince někdo ukradl kozla sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" použitím nákladního vozu. V noci 23. prosince před 4:00 byl kozel sdružení "Söders Köpmän" podpálen a shořel až k rámu, přestože na zádech měl silnou vrstvu sněhu. Kozel byl hlídána dvěma webovými kamerami, které však byly vyřazeny z provozu pomocí DDoS útoku vyvolaného počítačovými hackery těsně před útokem na kozla.

 2010 V noci 2. prosince proběhl neúspěšný pokus žhářů podpálit kozla sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga". 17. prosince švédský zpravodajský server oznámil, že jednomu ze strážců pověřených ochranou kozla sdružení "Söders Köpmän" bylo nabídnuto zaplacení za to, pokud opustí svůj post, aby kozel mohl být ukraden prostřednictvím vrtulníku a transportován do Stockholmu. Oba kozlové letos přežili a na začátku ledna byli demontováni a uskladněni.

 2011 Slavnostní inaugurace proběhla 27. listopadu. Tento rok hasiči postříkali kozla vodou, aby se na jeho povrchu vytvořila vrstva ledu a doufali, že ji tak ochrání před žhářstvím. Kozel však v ranních hodinách 2. prosince shořel.

 2012 2. prosince nad ránem dva muži nalili benzin na nohy kozla, ale utekli poté, co byli viděni svědky a kozla nestihli podpálit. 12. prosince přibližně o půlnoci kozel shořel. Oheň vznikl v levé zadní noze.
 2013 Kozel byl napuštěn nehořlavou látkou. Shořel 21. prosince.
 2014 Kozel přežil.
 2015 Kozel shořel 27. prosince. Pachatelem byl 26letý muž, který si zároveň popálil obličej. K činu se během výslechu přiznal a dodal, že byl v té době opilý a že to byl "extrémně špatný nápad". V lednu 2018 byl odvolacím soudem odsouzen k podmíněnému trestu s pokutou 6 000 SEK a náhradou škody 80 000 SEK. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" také shořel.
 2016 Kozel shořel pár hodin po inauguraci. Organizátoři prohlásili, že letos kozla znovu stavět nebudou. Pachatel byl dopaden a odsouzen k pokutě a k zaplacení škody 100 000 SEK. Důkazem bylo DNA odebrané z klobouku, který mu spadl při útěku. Kozel byl nahrazen kozlem sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga", kterého později srazilo auto.
 2017 Nic se nestalo. Kolem kozla byl postaven dvojitý plot a byl střežen kamerami a ochrankou.
 2018 Nic se nestalo. Kolem kozla byl postaven dvojitý plot a byl střežen kamerami a ochrankou a taxikáři. U kozla sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" byly zaznamenány dva incidenty: blíže nespecifikované obtěžování a vniknutí přes plot od někoho, kdo tvrdil, že potřebuje použít toaletu.
 2019 Nic se nestalo. Dvojitý plot, 24hodinový kamerový monitoring a dva strážci hlídkují na místě spolu s jednotkou K9. Dne 13. prosince byli volání hasiči s tím, že kozel hoří, ale ve skutečnosti šlo o miniaturní vánoční kozu, kterou někdo přinesl a zapálil na místě činu. Bylo to vůbec poprvé, co kozel přežil tři roky v řadě.
 2020 Nic se nestalo. Kvůli pandemii covidu-19 byla inaugurace on-line. Nekonala se žádná tradiční oslava a bylo doporučeno, aby se lidé kolem kozla neshromažďovali, takže kozel přežil čtvrtý rok v řadě. Kozla bylo možné navíc sledovat na veřejné webkameře.
 2021 Kozel shořel 17. prosince. Čtyřicetiletý muž byl zatčen a později odsouzen k šesti měsícům vězení a pokutě ve výši 109 000 SEK. Kozel sdružení "Naturvetenskapliga" také shořel.
 2022 Kozel přežil.

Thomas Schmid (* 29. März 1959 in Hamburg) ist ein deutscher Segler.

Werdegang
Schmid stammt aus Buchholz südlich von Hamburg. Nach seinem Wechsel von der Bootsklasse Laser zu Finn im Jahr 1981 wurde er als Mitglied des Blankeneser Segel-Clubs 1982 Dritter der Europameisterschaft, 1984 Fünfter der Weltmeisterschaft und im Februar 1988 in Brasilien Weltmeister. Der beruflich als Versicherungskaufmann tätige Schmid erhielt zu dieser Zeit keine Förderung durch den Deutschen Segler-Verband und musste deshalb die rund 10 000 DM für die WM-Vorbereitung sowie Flug und Aufenthalt in Brasilien selbst bestreiten. Als Belohnung für den Gewinn des Weltmeistertitels wurden ihm die Kosten dann vom Verband zurückerstattet. Auch Schmids Ehefrau Daniela war Seglerin und zählte zur bundesdeutschen Spitze.

Schmid nahm 1988 an den Olympischen Sommerspielen teil, verbuchte dort einen Tagessieg, kenterte aber später und musste die Olympische Regatta aufgeben. Er belegte im Endstand den sechsten Platz bei den Sommerspielen. 2019 wurde er Ü60-Weltmeister in der Finn-Bootsklasse.

• 3-Brush Design: The SparkleSoft soft touch components of the FusionX has 3 brushes: 2 side brushes and one top brush. The two side brushes provide complete coverage of the vehicle by counter-crossing over the center of the vehicle. Each brush uses an amp-sensing technique to stay in constant contact with the vehicle and with just the right amount of cleaning pressure to ensure a clean vehicle.
• On Board Rocker Panel Sprayers: The On Board High Pressure Rocker Panel Sprayers offer another advantage for the cleaning ability of the FusionX. It allows for a more effective presoak application and consistent cleaning results. The presoak is applied through an independent system designed with a dedicated line specifically for presoak, thus not purging. This system uses multiple nozzles on the gantry to apply presoak and completely blankets the vehicle.
• Scrubbing Action Oscillating Wash Nozzles & Height Adjustment System: The FusionX has scrubbing action oscillating nozzles which cover the entire vehicle. The boom drops below the bumper level in the front and rear for maximum cleaning and offers optional passes. The height adjustment system allows the boom to drop to 18 inches to maximize the scrubbing action of the high pressure wash. This ensures that every size vehicle receives the same quality wash!
• Wheel Scrub Brushes: The counter-rotating scrubbing wheel brushes perform tremendously on even the dirtiest wheels. The gantry positions itself so specialized wheel cleaning brushes can gently penetrate the most intricate wheel design.

Cory Gardner In Alaska forest, Reagan biographer sees a winning GOP strategy
By Andrew Romanoff for Senate, August 27, 2020
by Benjamin J. Hulac, Cq-Roll Call
Craig Shirley sees an opportunity in the trees.
The chairman of a conservative political advocacy group Ronald Reagan founded in 1977, Shirley has bucked fellow conservatives by urging President Donald Trump to keep an existing ban on logging, vehicles, road construction and other industrial activity in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.
"I can find no reason why this should be going on," Shirley, who leads Citizens for the Republic and wrote four books about the 40th president, said in an interview. "But like a lot of government bureaucracies and programs, they have a life of their own and nobody seems to know the beginning."
At the president's direction, the U.S. Forest Service proposed in October eliminating a policy known as the "roadless rule," which prevents the building of roads into pristine forests for logging and other purposes. The three-member Alaska delegation to Congress, plus Gov. Mike Dunleavy supported eliminating the rule. All are Republicans. In an environmental impact statement for the rule change, the Forest Service proposed exempting 9.2 million acres of the Tongass from the bans.
Shirley and other conservative figures, including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Ed Rollins, a leader of the pro-Trump Great America PAC, which has spent $6.2 million this cycle to reelect Trump, sent a letter in late July to the president urging him to maintain the protections.
The campaign emerged in the spring this year, as Republicans were deflecting blame from the president to China over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic response. The virus that causes COVID-19 first appeared in China and has led to the deaths of more than 170,000 Americans. The letter from Shirley's group draws on anti-China sentiment too.
"Our leaders must recognize this opportunity to assert our power over China by not enabling them to destroy more of our lands for their profit," the letter says, adding that the administration should protect Tongass "to thwart the insidious efforts of China and promote American prosperity."
China surpassed Japan as the "primary destination" of Alaskan-logged wood in 2010, according to federal figures.
The Tongass is the largest old-growth forest, a category used to describe forests with large, old trees and complex ecosystems. It spans 16.7 million acres in southeast Alaska.
The Clinton administration finalized the roadless role rule in 2001, and the provision, which applies to certain other national forests as well, has protected 58.5 million acres in 39 states and territories since.
Environmentalism can be a "winning issue" for Republicans, said Shirley, pointing to Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who is running for reelection touting his work passing a public lands bill.
Still, he said, Trump has been absent on the topic and Democrats have an edge: "I've always said the Republican Party does not have a good environmental answer."
The campaign by Shirley's group mirrors the debate over the Pebble Mine in Alaska, a massive proposed gold and copper mining project near Bristol Bay, a key watershed for sockeye salmon.
After the Army Corps of Engineers gave a green light to the project last month, a handful of conservative figures, notably Donald Trump Jr., conservative newscaster Tucker Carlson and Nick Ayers, a former adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, came out against it.
On Monday, the Corps said it would delay issuing its final decision on the project.
"That's very, very heartening for us," Shirley said of the younger Trump's opposition to Pebble. "We've been devising ways to get this issue in front of Don Jr." The comparisons between Pebble and Tongass are apt, Shirley said. "It's heavy industrialization that will ruin a pristine part of Alaska."
A White House spokesman declined to comment. A Forest Service spokeswoman said the proposed rule is under consideration at the White House budget office.
Both Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, and Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, who has represented the state since the 1970s, are up for reelection. Both men drew viable challengers, and Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates their races as "likely" Republican. The president carried the state, which is notoriously difficult to poll, by 14.7 percentage points.
Americans historically rank the environment significantly lower in their priorities than health care, the economy and education, and the divide splits the parties.
While Shirley said Republicans have lagged Democrats on the environment and said the president has been nonexistent on the issue—"He hasn't talked about it at all, let's face it," he said—Republicans don't care about the environment or climate nearly as much as left-leaning voters. Just 8% of Republicans view climate change as "extremely important," versus 44% of Democrats, according to a Gallup poll from December.
"Like it or not, the Democrats have done a better job of communicating their concerns for the environment than Republicans," Shirley said. "It seems to me that Tongass is just the lowest of low-hanging fruit."

When powerful aliens come through Earth's Stargate, Colonel Jack O'Neill returns to Abydos to retrieve Daniel Jackson, who has discovered that the alien transit system includes much more than the two planets.
EPISODE #101-102
WRITTEN BY: Jonathan Glassner and Brad Wright
DIRECTED BY: Mario Azzopardi
GUEST STARS: Jay Acovone (Major Charles Kawalsky), Vaitiare Bandera (Sha're), Robert Wisden (Major Samuels), Peter Williams (Apophis), Brent Stait (Major Louis Ferretti), Gary Jones (Technician), Alexis Cruz (Skaara), Rachel Hayward (Guard #3), Rick Ravanello (Guard #2), J.B.

More than one year after Colonel Jack O'Neill and archaeologist Daniel Jackson defeated Ra on the planet Abydos ("Stargate" the Movie), the ancient alien artifact called the "Stargate" sits deep within a U.S. military mountain facility, covered and unused. A group of Air Force personnel sit at a small table in the gate room and play cards.
The room begins to shake, and soon the Stargate flares into action. A wormhole opens and a group of alien soldiers, in serpent armor, come through and engage the soldiers in battle. Another figure steps through -- this one armored in gold -- and takes a female sergeant back through the gate with him.
Earth has been invaded. The Stargate program is reactivated to determine the nature of this new threat, and how to eliminate it. Major Samuels, executive officer of General Hammond (now in charge of the Stargate program), finds Colonel O'Neill. The soldier must return to active duty from retirement after Hammond forces him to confess that his report on the first Stargate mission was falsified. The Abydos Stargate was never destroyed, and Daniel Jackson is alive and well and living with the people of Abydos.
Along with Captain Samantha Carter, an expert on the Stargate technology, O'Neill returns to Abydos and finds Jackson. Jackson takes the group to a room he has discovered in the caves: it is an ancient alien map room, listing thousands of Stargate addresses. The Stargate system is indeed a vast network, linking infinitely more planets than Earth and Abydos.
While they are gone, the young boys of Abydos continue to guard the Stargate. But powerful forces overcome them. It is the same serpent guards, who kill many of the boysand take two people -- O'Neill's friend Skaara, and Jackson's wife Sha're -- back through the Stargate.
The team arrives back to discover the abductions, and Jackson is convinced to return to Earth in the hopes of finding his wife somewhere through the Stargate. He instructs the people of Abydos to bury the gate for one year. If he does not return with Sha're on the day they unbury it, they are told to bury it again -- this time, forever.
Meanwhile, Skaara and Sha're have joined many other people in a giant holding cell -- some sort of dungeon in a giant castle. The leader of the guard comes and chooses one woman, who is brought before his leader -- who's eyes glow, just like the alien Ra. It is the missing sergeant from Earth. She is stripped naked and examined, then presented to an alien queen -- a wormlike organism that resides within the belly of a host woman. The women are being collected from all across the galaxy as potential hosts for this parasitic being, the mate of the serpent leader. The sergeant is rejected by the worm, and the gold-clad alien kills her.
Indeed, O'Neill, Jackson, and Carter conclude, Ra may not have been the last of his race after all. They are assigned to a new field unit: SG-1, whose mission is to perform reconnaissance, determine threats and make peaceful contact with the peoples of alien worlds.
Ferretti, one of O'Neill's men from the original Abydos mission, was in the gate room on Abydos during the attack, and is now in the infirmiry at Stargate Command (the "S.G.C."). Feretti managed to memorize the address of the world to which the aliens escaped, and provides it for SG-1 after he regains consciousness. Back in the palace, the alien queen has chosen her new host: it is Daniel's wife Sha're. She is terrified, stripped naked by the guards before the giant worm burrows into her neck and takes over her body.
SG-1 and SG-2 (the latter commanded by Major Charles Kawalsky) travel through the gate, and find a beautiful forest world. They come across a group of worshippers, and are led to the city of Chulak. There they meet the alien leader and Sha're, his new bride, and are thrown into the dungeon with the refugees. Jackson identifies the leader as Apophis, a god from Egyptian mythology who ruled the night and was a great enemy of Ra.
The leader of Apophis's guard notices O'Neill's digital wrist watch, and is puzzled. "This is not Goa'uld technology," he says. He learns that SG-1 is from Earth, and begins to reveal that his loyalties are not entirely with Apophis.
Soon, Apophis enters the dungeon accompanied by a group of alien "Goa'uld" -- parasites who forcefully inhabit human bodies as hosts. Each Goa'uld couple has come to choose a host for their child -- to determine who among the refugees will become the "children of the gods." A few are selected and dragged away screaming -- including Skaara, O'Neill's close friend from Abydos.
Apophis orders the rest of the prisoners killed, and the guards begin to open fire as the Goa'uld leave. O'Neill shouts to the leader of the guard: "I can save these people! Help me!" He has sensed the man's waivering loyalties, and his plea is heard. The guard tosses his staff weapon to O'Neill, and turns and fires on his own soldiers.
The guards are overcome, and SG-1 escapes with the refugees back toward the Stargate. Apophis and Sha're exit the gate to another world. When SG-1 arrives, Skaara is about to leave through the gate. He turns and walks back toward O'Neill, then shoots him with a hand device. Skaara's eyes glow brightly -- he has been taken as a host.
Skaara and those with him leave through the gate, and Daniel dials Earth as an army of guards -- called Jaffa -- approach from the woods. SG-2 engages the soliders, and an alien worm leaps from a fallen guard into Kawalsky. But the humans escape back to Earth, just in time to meet General Hammond's do-or-die deadline.
O'Neill recommends the Jaffa guard, Teal'c, for membership on SG-1. The team must continue to travel through the Stargate -- to locate new technologies, to assess threats to Earth from offworld, and to find their missing loved ones.
The alien soldiers -- "Jaffa" -- have a pouch in their bellies slitted in an X formation. The Jaffa serve as incubators for Goa'uld larva, and all Jaffa carry a larva from childhood. Upon reaching maturity, the Goa'uld parasite is removed and planted within a host body. Without its presence, the Jaffa would die. In fact, it gives them perfect health and long life, according to Teal'c.
The Stargate resides deep within the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, which appears to be different from the film. Perhaps the Stargate has been moved within the past year, and a new (identical) facility constructed for it.
O'Neill theorizes that because they defeated Ra, the aliens now consider Earth a threat, and will come in ships to attack. This is his argument against burying the Stargate, though he didn't think it important enough to mention after returning from Ra's defeat. Certainly, though, O'Neill didn't know that there were others like Ra (he was told that Ra was the last of a dying race) until Apophis came through Earth's Stargate. It is curious that the Stargate remains at the mountain facility at all, since Jackson and O'Neill concluded after meeting Ra that it was the gate on Earth that posed a problem, and had to be destroyed.
To create a stable wormhole, the Stargate releases a tremendous amount of energy. It must be powered from a strong generator within the mountain complex. On other worlds it is controlled (and presumably powered) by a "dial home device," where the user need simply to touch the symbols in the address and "dial up" a planet. This device was missing from the Giza, Egypt dig where the gate was discovered on Earth. According to Carter, it took 15 years and three supercomputers to make the gate work.
Most of the Abydonians -- especially Skaara and Sha're -- seemed to have learned a great deal of English from Daniel over the past year.
About a month after the first Stargate team returned to Earth, Jackson discovered an ancient map room in a cave on Abydos, perhaps left by the builders of the Stargates. The walls of the room are covered with lists of addresses for Stargates all over the galaxy, neatly ordered into local groups. Daniel had even mapped some of the constellations represented there in the Abydonian night sky ... or at least pretty close. Daniel has not been able to dial to any other planet yet, likely because the addresses of many planets change slightly over thousands of years, due to the theory of planetary drift. The gate may have worked between Earth and Abydos because they are relatively close in the universe -- less distance means less relative drift. Carter theorizes that the S.G.C.'s computers can adjust for the changes using the map as a basis, and thus correct out-of-date addresses.
The evil Goa'uld Ra was not the entity upon which the ancient Egyptians based their religious mythology. Ra assumed the identity of the mythical god and impersonated him on Earth. Presumably, other Goa'uld -- such as Apophis -- have impersonated other gods from Earth's history.
The president of the United States has authorized the formation of nine Stargate teams, designated SG-1 through SG-9. Their mission is to perform reconnaissance, determine threats, and make peaceful contact with the peoples of other worlds. No one will know of their existence other than the president and joint chiefs. These teams will operate out of Stargate Command ("S.G.C."), deep within Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. O'Neill and Carter have been assigned to SG-1; Major Kawalsky will command SG-2.
Teal'c seems to have been waiting for the right people to come along before he defected from the Goa'uld army. He believed that O'Neill and SG-1 would make formidable allies when he saw their level of technology (including O'Neill's digital wrist watch),and learned that they were from Earth.
The Goa'uld "gods" chose who would become their children. They presumably had mature symbiotes ready for joining, which they had procreated.
Teal'c responds with a head shake of "No" to Daniel's statement that "something of the host must survive." If he is correct, and the Goa'uld parasite completely destroys the human soul and personality, Sha're and Skaara may be lost for good.
According to O'Neill, there are about 5,000 people living on Abydos.
There are Stargate symbols instead of letters on the computer keyboard that controls the dialing procedure for Earth's Stargate. Dialing is apparently as simple as keying in the seven necessary symbols.
After traveling through the gate, humans experience a brief freezing sensation.
There are 36 hours in a day on Abydos.
A titanium iris has been installed over the Stargate. It allows a wormhole to be established, but keeps objects and people from being able to enter the facility through the gate. To instruct the S.G.C. to open the iris, each SG team is given a transmitter with a unique code.
The S.G.C.'s targeting computer, using the Abydos map room information, can calculate two to three new addresses per month.
Jack O'Neill - Upon returning from the first Abydos mission ("Stargate" the Movie), O'Neill filed a false report, stating that the Abydos gate had been destroyed and Daniel Jackson was dead. He also discovered that his wife had left him. She had forgiven him for the accidental shooting death of their son, but could not forget it. As for O'Neill -- he says that he will never forgive himself, but sometimes he can forget for awhile. O'Neill returned to retirement, but has been reactivated to command SG-1, the first elite Stargate team under the jurisdiction of the United States military. It is the sort of thing that O'Neill is use to: most of his work over the past ten years is classified.Colonel O'Neill is from the city of Chicago.
Daniel Jackson - Now married to Sha're, Daniel spent over a year with the people of Abydos. After helping to defeat Ra, Daniel was treated as a savior by the people. Now, his wife has been abducted by the Goa'uld Apophis, and taken as a host by a parasitic alien. Daniel promised his friends on Abydos that he will return in one year; if he does not, they are to bury their Stargate forever. Finding Sha're has become Jackson's one mission in life.
Samantha Carter - Carter, an Air Force captain and accomplished pilot (logging over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War), is a theoretical astrophysicist transferred to the Stargate program from the Pentagon. Carter studied the gate for two years before Daniel Jackson made it work ("Stargate" the Movie). She is a confident and capable soldier, struggling to be considered an equal in a man's world.
Teal'c - Teal'c is a Jaffa, a soldier of the Goa'uld Apophis. He was, in fact, the first among Apophis' guards. As a Jaffa, he has carried a larval Goa'uld within his belly since childhood. The alien within him gives Teal'c perfect health and long life. Teal'c has become disillusioned with the Goa'uld and the terrible things that Apophis does. He turned on his fellow guards and helped SG-1 escape with a large group of refugees, and is now likely a wanted criminal among his people. Teal'c has been recommended as a member of SG-1 by Jack O'Neill, though his final status is undetermined.
George Hammond - General Hammond replaced General West as head of the Stargate program. Hammond is a career military man, and is stern but fair. He is on his last tour of duty, and is thinking of writing a book.
Major Samuels - Samuels is General Hammond's executive officer, and presumably the number two man in command of the S.G.C. He is less trustworthy, and anxious to give up SG-1 and SG-2 rather than further risk contact with the hostile aliens. Samuels seems to believe that the Stargate's very existence is too great a risk for Earth.
Charles Kawalsky - A member of the first Stargate team, Major Charles Kawalsky has been assigned to command the newly-formed SG-2 unit. His team supported SG-1 in attempting to retrieve Sha're and Skaara from the Goa'uld, and in freeing several dozen prisoners. During the battle, though, Kawalsky was infected with the Goa'uld from a fallen Jaffa soldier, and now appears to be under its control.
Sha're - Daniel Jackson's wife for more than a year, Sha're is the daughter of the leader of Abydos, and the sister of Skaara. She is beautiful and caring, and has been abducted by the evil Goa'uld Apophis. She was selected as a host for Apophis's queen, and is now possessed by the Goa'uld parasite. According to the Jaffa Teal'c, Sha're herself may be gone forever because of the joining.
Skaara - Skaara is a close friend to Jack O'Neill, and helped to defeat Ra's forces on Abydos ("Stargate" the movie). O'Neill looks upon Skaara almost as a son. Skaara is the younger brother of Sha're, and the son of the leader of Abydos. He has been abducted by Apophis, and taken by a Goa'uld couple to be the host of their parasite offspring.
Apophis - Bearing a striking resemblance to Ra, Apophis is a powerful Goa'uld and Ra's great enemy. He is described in Egyptian mythology as the serpent God (his Jaffa soldiers wear a serpent symbol on their foreheads) who rules the night. Apophis' parasite queen has taken Sha're as a host.
Why wasn't the Stargate buried or destroyed when O'Neill returned from the first mission to Abydos ("Stargate" the Movie)?
What determines the length of time that a wormhole remains engaged? Can it be terminated from either end, or only at the end that initialized it?
Why wasn't Captain Carter assigned to the first Stargate mission to Abydos?
How many planets can be reached by the Stargate network?
Why was there a Stargate map room on Abydos? Will there be other map rooms found on other planets? Or was Abydos of particular importance to the builders of the system?
Where did the Stargates come from? Did the Goa'uld create them and place them across the galaxy? If so, how might they react to another race using their transit system?
Have Goa'uld other than Ra visited Earth in the past?
How do Goa'uld parasites procreate?
Why did Teal'c turn on his own soldiers? What does he hope to accomplish by joining SG-1?
How long does is take a Goa'uld larva to mature within a Jaffa? After removal, are the Jaffa given a new larva, or left to die?
Does anything of the host remain when a person it taken by a Goa'uld parasite? If not, can Sha're and Skaara ever really be saved?
Has the Goa'uld that entered Kawalsky fully matured? What will become of Kawalsky, now that he is apparently infected by a Goa'uld parasite?
The pilot episode for Stargate SG-1 was written in late 1996, and began filming in Vancouver, British Columbia in February of 1997. The show film on standing sets at The Bridge Studios in Burnaby for its entire 10-year run, as well as its two follow-up movies. When filming first began, however, Stargate Command's eventual home on Stage 5 was still being built. The set's first home was on the effects stage. After "Children of the Gods" the S.G.C. was torn down and moved to Stage 5.
Filming on location in British Columbia got off to a rough start. The crew and cast battled rain on location for the outdoor scenes on Chulak. To make matters worse, when the producers reviewed the footage they found a large scratch down the middle of the film on the coverage of Michael Shanks ("Daniel Jackson"). The post-production team had to work around and try to repair the footage, but it was not fully restored until the advent of inexpensive digital processing -- for 2009's Children of the Gods: Final Cut, a re-release from executive producer and co-writer Brad Wright.
The lead villain of Apophis would go on to become a central figure in the show's mythology. In the original script for the pilot, however, he was known by a different mythological name: Apep.
Samantha Carter's line about it taking "15 years and three super-computers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth" is, of course, a poke at the television role that made Stargate SG-1's series lead Richard Dean Anderson a household name. The line was actually improvised on set by Amanda Tapping. Both the producers and Anderson loved it, and it stayed in the episode.

Q: Nautilus launcher problem? Here is my launcher when I open Nautilus with its corresponding icon (top one). It's supposed to stay on the top icon, not create a bottom icon.
I had to hide personal information, sorry
I wonder what causes this behavior, because it really annoys me. I have tried replacing the original icon with the new one, but I've realized they're different, so I won't do it (there's a new "Open a New Window" option, that's the difference).
I have had this problem since I upgraded to 16.04 yesterday.

A: This is made in Ubuntu 16.04 by design.
If you click a partition other that / in  Nautilus, it is opened in a new window with a new Launcher icon.
It is really annoying in some cases. A workaround is to create symlinks to partitions mount points in your Home directory and click them instead of directly clicking partitions.
You can also add these symlinks as your Favorites in Nautilus.
Another issue is when you upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. It can be fixed by removing the icon from Launcher and adding it again.

A: I know this doesn't solve the original problem but can be a good workaround if you are tired of these spaghetti of nautilus windows when switching between partitions: use nemo instead of nautilus.
sudo apt install nemo

I'd rather use nautilus, but nemo is very similar and luckily is not integrated with unity launcher so it works as you would expect.

Farm Bureau supports legislation against estate tax increases—The American Farm Bureau Federation is supporting legislation that would block a recent IRS proposal regarding estate taxes.
The IRS proposal, if approved, would mean farmers and ranchers would have to pay more in estate taxes. Lawmakers in both chambers of Congress have introduced a bill to block the IRS proposal.
Wolff says most farms and ranches are owned by a family, but high estate taxes make transfer of ownership within the family harder.
AFBF supports the legislation seeking to block the IRS proposal, House bill H.R. 6100 and Senate bill S. 3436.
Congress approves bill updating livestock marketing methods—Congress has approved a bill clarifying that modern livestock marketing methods are covered by the Packers and Stockyard Act of 1921. The legislation also updates methods of payments to include electronic funds transfers. The measure, according to Farm Bureau, will ensure today's livestock producers and contemporary livestock marketing practices are clearly protected by the 1921 law.
The Technical and Clarifying Amendments to the Packers and Stockyards Act of 2016 (H.R. 5883) will make it clear that the act applies to video and Internet auctions, as well as other forms of electronic sale of livestock. Along with including electronic funds transfers, the bill will give the secretary of agriculture flexibility to approve other new methods of payment.
Farm Bureau backs Urban Ag Act—The American Farm Bureau Federation is backing a recently introduced bill that would give a boost to growers in urban settings.
"As an organization that supports farmers of all sizes, commodities and production systems, Farm Bureau believes this legislation will build a stronger bond among all farmers-rural, suburban and urban," AFBF President Zippy Duvall said in a statement.
In addition to the services and support the bill would provide to urban farmers, the legislation's research component is critical for exploring the risk management, food safety, environmental and economic factors that are key to success.
Farm Bureau asks president, Congress to move swiftly on TPP—The American Farm Bureau Federation, the Coalition of Services Industries, the Information Technology Industry Council and the National Association of Manufacturers today called on the president and congressional leadership to work together to approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement by year-end.
In a letter sent Sept. 21, presidents of the four groups laid out the important benefits expected to accrue from the deal – an accord that will give American farms, ranches and companies access to nearly 500 million consumers in the Asia-Pacific region.

ART OF THE SHOT: "Ask Dr. Ruth" DOP David Paul Jacobson
Following the high energy Dr. Ruth from Israel, Switzerland, and New York City
Brian Hallett January 25, 2019
Now that the Sundance Film Festival is in full swing I had the opportunity to talk to cinematographer David Paul Jacobson who shot the Hulu documentary chronicling the incredible life of Dr. Ruth Westheimer which is playing at the Sundance Film Festival. Dr. Ruth is a Holocaust survivor who became America's most famous sex therapist. As her 90th birthday approaches, Dr. Ruth revisits her painful past and her career at the forefront of the sexual revolution.
David Paul Jacobson is an NYC based cinematographer. He has worked as a cinematographer on "Room 104," and has compiled an incredible list of Director of Photography credits including: "The Keepers," "The Jinx," and "Room 104." We dive into the details on his cinematography for "Ask Dr. Ruth" in the transcribed phone interview below.
Brian Hallett
What challenges did you face shooting this documentary?
David Paul Jacobson
Dr. Ruth is a really incredible person to meet. She is a legend that we all sort of know her, people kind of know of her, or they feel very intimately aware of her and her career, but no one really saw the sort of real personality, the real human being behind the character that she would play. The character it turns out is authentically her but there is an intimacy that she never really projected in her public life that we really wanted to capture in this documentary. One of the big considerations in creating an environment where she would not be so performative was to make the production extremely small. Crews were small and we didn't travel with a lot of gear, which was a little bit outside of my comfort zone, but I've been doing documentaries for years so I'm very scalable that way. We were in a lot of situations where I'd consider that she's a ninety-year-old woman, and I'd ask myself "do I make her look as good as possible?" You know we could have gone with that sort of high production route and we chose not to do that because we really wanted to be as intimate and authentic as possible with her and sort of make the camera disappear, which is not something that she's used to doing. In fact, she would often try to talk to the camera because that's what she's sort of trained to do and been doing for decades. So our main approach was to recede into the background as much as possible but at the same time to make it as beautiful as possible.
What was your time frame? Did you have all access at all hours with her?
Well, it really depended with the footage we shot in Switzerland and Israel. That was our introduction to her. That sort of set the pace for the whole production but it was just very intimate. When we were with her we were we were fully with her but then we would take breaks. So, we would do like a week or so on or like four or five days then we'd go down for three weeks and go off and do different stuff. Then we would come back. Ryan, the director, and the production was all run out of LA, and I'm New York based so we usually shoot with her in New York, except for the content that we did in Switzerland and Israel. We would all come back together and we would shoot for a few days. We would follow her around for like a whole day and sometimes there were shorter days. She has an insane amount of energy but she's also 90 years old so she would get tired sometimes and we'd give her a break. It was pretty full on and she really gave us a lot of access.
You want the intimate, but you also need the coverage. How do you balance that?
The intimacy of being close to her was always a thing I really wanted to pursue. I wanted to be on wider lenses and be physically close because that's not a way many see her very often, and the fact that she's so small and her perspective on the world is unique and the way she interacts with people is kind of unique. I always wanted to be at a low angle and at her level. Most of these situations usually come up when I'm shooting movies so I felt like that kind of kinetic coverage and stuff was great when I was really close to her. But, then when we were in a more static sort of environment, like in her home where she was sitting and talking with somebody, that was when I would usually take a few steps back and let the wide shot play. I always felt like seeing Ruth in context was always really beneficial to the viewer more than just an extreme close up on her.
What was your camera package like and did you use an EasyRig to keep that camera a little lower?
In fact, I did. You nailed it. The package was really small. We went out for the European/Israel part of the shoot with this skeleton package that basically fit on my back. I could probably carry my entire kit and Ryan, the director, would always walk around with a camera as well. We shot on two Canon C300 Mark II 2s. Ryan had one and I had one. Mine was a little more built out and his C300 Mark II 2 was a little more stripped down with just a handle and a lens on it. I would say 90 percent of the shoot; even actually when we were doing talking head interviews I was on the EasyRig and the real game changer for me was the Flowcine Serene Arm that you can add to it. This absorbed all of that sort of imbalance that happens when you're using the Easy Rig. It wasn't perfect by any means. It definitely was a bit of a learning curve for me. It's always really rough for me when I'm trying to move around and I'd much rather the camera be on my shoulder. But of course, the reality of shooting someone who's four foot seven inches tall, to get to her level, you basically need the camera around your waist. I would use the EasyRig for all that stuff and it was the most important piece of equipment that we had for the whole shoot. We used Canon L series zoom lenses quite a bit. I have a Zeiss .cp2 super speed set that I used for whenever things were controlled enough to go on to a prime lens and then towards the end of the shoot we started using those new Angenieux ez-zooms. I subsequently bought the set because they're really great because you can shoot a T2 and you have a really nice zoom range. They're perfect for documentary work.

How did you manage your lighting?
The movie is 95 percent natural light. A lot of the quality of the image is a testament to good color correction and balancing of mixed lighting. Whenever I could, I would jump ahead to locations, and when we do a location move I'd jump ahead to Ruth's apartment. I shot there a number of times and I figured out exactly where to put the curtains to get the best kind of quality of light in there. I wasn't even moving around with a lite panel or anything. There was a couple of interviews where we brought one light but almost everything we shot was natural lighting or just slightly modified natural light.
How did you ensure you were making it artful?
I mean artful is kind of an interesting word to use because for me, it's story first, and I guess the sort of the beauty comes from the effort to tell the story as best you can. Sometimes the environment is not hospitable to beautiful lighting or ideal anything. I think being a documentarian you're always balancing those things. One thing that is really beneficial is having a second camera. Knowing that in a lot of situations Ryan was covering things gave me some freedom to play around because sometimes you enter the stressful situation where you're locked into a shot and you can't change it because you know you'd disrupt what's going on in the scene or what's happening. Knowing that Ryan had the coverage gave me the freedom to kind of bounce around if I knew there was a better angle or something a little more aesthetically interesting. I also can't stress enough how useful it is having a director that you can trust. I could tell Ryan, while we were shooting, this isn't working, we need to move her over here and she's cool doing that. I mean there are certain situations where I wouldn't have done that I wouldn't have disrupted the flow but when I felt like it was safe to do it I would do it.
How important is it to have that subject to camera intimacy?
It's really important. It develops somewhat organically. If they don't trust you then you're kind of screwed. On some level, they need to know that you have their back. From the very beginning, Dr. Ruth was extremely sort of warm and welcoming to me and I think we had like an instant rapport and she kind of gets along with everybody. I think that the fact that I'm Jewish in this case really helped. She sort of immediately connects on that level which sounds kind of weird, but she also connected with Ryan the director who is very much not Jewish. She would almost tease him. What I mean, is in Israel and being Jewish she would always be kind of mocking him in a playful way. You just kind had to have that connection. For me, I don't try to inject myself too much in conversation and I try to be a little bit removed, but I also try to be responsive and warm when subjects directly communicate with me. But, I don't want to inject myself too much into the process because I didn't want her to be like playing to me. I wanted her to sort of forget I was there.
What did you learn from Dr. Ruth?
Dr. Ruth had this really traumatic childhood. Coming out of that she'd developed this sort of viewpoint on the world. She really doesn't take any moments for granted and you could feel that instantly when you're around her. I thought that kind of shows in the documentary as well. Being around her… she really exudes wisdom and exuberance and is extremely positive and does not sweat the small stuff at all. She has seen the darkest vision of the world through some of the most horrible things a person can go through. Coming out the other side, I think she's got this very healthy viewpoint on the world. Spending time with her you can get some of that good stuff; it inevitably rubs off on you. I think that's what I learned the most from her.
What would you tell younger filmmakers who are just starting out? What would you share with them that you've learned along the way that may be helpful?
What would I tell younger filmmakers? I think the most important thing for me coming out of film school and being in New York City, which is a very competitive environment, it's to find people that you can support that will support you. I am lucky because I went to a film school that sort of does that work for you as long as you're enthusiastic and have a good attitude and you want to make stuff. There will be people that will naturally gravitate towards you and you to them. Being on set and just working is the best advice I can give anybody. There's a lot to be said for making your own thing but just being on a set and seeing how it works whether it's a documentary or a commercial or anything. There are things you can learn from any of those though fields. I guess my advice would just be to get experience on set. Even if you're a P.A., you can start to gravitate toward the department that interests you and eventually someone will give you a chance. I've seen that happen many times.
What do you have coming up next? What can we look forward?
Including documentaries, I do a lot of commercials. I think I'm in a bit of a commercial cycle now but I'm definitely looking to do more narrative work. I've worked on a number of television shows and movies but I haven't actually shot my own feature yet. Hopefully this year I get a feature under my belt.

Q: Debug iOS application on device without symbols I need to debug the startup for an ios application on an actual device... and by start up I mean the very first instruction that is is executed when the OS hands control over to the app. Not "main". Also, this application doesn't have any symbols (ie. the debug information isn't available.. yet). I don't care if I have to debug at the CPU instruction level. I know how to do that (done it for over 30 years). I want the debugger to stop when control is about to transfer to the app. When I use the Attach|by Name command and run, it just says "Finished running".
Oh, and this application was not built in XCode. It is, however an application I built, signed and provisioned and moved to the device. The application does run since I can see the console output. Just in case you're thinking I'm some hacker trying to debug someone's application.
How's that for a tall order? I'll bet nobody can answer this... I've not been able to find any information on how I could do this with an XCode-built project. I wonder if it is simply not possible or "allowed" by the Apple overlords?
What do you say, Stack Overflow gods?
UPDATE: I should clarify something. This application is not built with any commercially available or open-source tool. I work with a tools vendor creating compilers, frameworks, and IDEs. IOW, you cannot get this tool... yet. In the process of bootstrapping a new tool chain, one regularly must resort to some very low-level raw debugging. Especially if there are bugs in the code generated by the tools.

A: I'm going to answer my own question because I think I've stumbled upon a solution. If anyone has anything more elegant and simple than this, please answer as well. On to the steps:
Starting with a raw monolithic iOS executable (not a bundled .app, but the actual binary mach-o file that is the machine code).

*

*Create a new like-named empty Xcode project. Build and run it on the device.

*Locate the output bundle's .app folder.

*Copy the above raw iOS executable over the existing one in the .app bundle's folder.

*The application will now have an invalid signature and cannot be deployed and run.

*Run codesign against the app bundle (you can find out the command-line by running xcodebuild on the above Xcode project).

*In the bundle's .app folder, run otool -h -l on the binary image. Locate the LC_UNIXTHREAD load command and find the value associated with the 'pc' register. This is address where the os loader will jump to your application. If this address is odd, then these are Thumb instructions otherwise it will be ARM (I think that's how it works).

*Add a symbolic breakpoint (I used GDB instead of LLDB) and enter the address as '*0x00001234' as the symbol.

*Select Product|Perform Action|Run Without Building.

Assuming that GDB is able to evaluate the breakpoint expression and set the break point, and you've selected Product|Debug Workflow|Show Disassembly When Debugging, the process should break at the very first instruction to be executed in the application.
You can now single step the instructions and use the GDB console to get/set register values.

A: Your question does not make sense - main is the entry point into the application.  It is the first code that should be encountered, unless possibly you have initialize() overridden for some classes (but even then I think main would get hit before the runtime).
I think you are seeing some kind of odd error on launch and you think you want to set a breakpoint on entry to catch it, but far more likely what would help you is to describe the problem on launch and let one of the 4000 people who have seen and fixed the same crash help you...
However, if you really want to use GDB to break on an application with no symbols (but that you launch from XCode) you can have GDB break on an assembly address as per:
How to break on assembly instruction at a given address in gdb?
To find the address of main (or other methods) you can use tool or atos, some examples in this question:
Matching up offsets in iOS crash dump to disassembled binary
ADDITION:
If for some reason XCode cannot launch your application for debugging, you could also jailbreak and install GDB on the device itself which would give complete control over debugging.  If XCode can launch you application I see no reason why being able to break at an arbitrary memory address does not give you the ability you seek...

A: One solution for applications with webviews is to run them in the iOS Simulator, and connect to that with the remote-debugger in macOS Safari. This is off-topic but maybe the one or other could benefit.
http://hiediutley.com/2011/11/22/debugging-ios-apps-using-safari-web-inspector/
Or use NetCat for iOS... not the most perfect solution, but at least you see what's going on.

At some point in the past, programmers used to recommend drawing flowcharts before you start coding. Then they recommended creating CRC cards, or acting through how the turtle will behave, or writing failing tests, or getting the types to match up, or designing contracts, or writing proofs, but the point is that in each case they're there for eliciting thought before the code gets laid down.
None of these things is mutually exclusive, none of these things is the one true way, but the fact that they all isolate some part of solving the problem from some part of coding the solution is the telling point. The problem is not having the correct type system or test coverage or diagram format, the problem is trying to work in two (or more) levels of abstraction – the problem domain and the computer – at the same time.
This is what I've been saying, recently, in my TDD-focused talks – that one of the main advantages is that it aids the ability to move between the two thinking domains (and keep your place).
