Q: Como importar um arquivo de extensão .sql no SQL Server 2014? Eu recebi um arquivo que ele possui a extensão .sql, portanto toda a vez que importo algo no sql server é das extensões .bak. É possível fazer isso? Se sim, como?

A: Ficheiros .sql contêm, normalmente, instruções SQL. Estes ficheiros, ao contrário dos .bak não são importados, mas sim "executados", por exemplo usando o SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
Atenção que o ficheiro pode conter SQL indiscriminado o que pode ser bastante perigoso se não estiver certo da sua origem. Sugiro sempre que verifique o seu conteúdo antes de o tentar executar.
Com o SSMS pode simplesmente fazer:
- Iniciar o SQL Server Management Studio
- Efectuar a coneção à base de dados
- Ficheiro > Abrir > Seleccionar o ficheiro .sql
- Executar (F5)

Se o ficheiro for anormalmente grande (mais do que 50/100MB), pode usar o sqlcmd, que se trata de uma ferramenta que normalmente é instalada com o SQL Server e que permite a execução de instruções SQL através de várias formas. Uma das quais permite a execução de instruções de SQL guardados num ficheiro.
Fica aqui um exemplo de utilização:
sqlcmd -S NOME_SERVIDOR\INSTANCIA -i C:\caminho\para\ficheiro.sql -o C:\caminho\ficheiro_saida.txt

O resultado da execução será guardado no ficheiro ficheiro_saida.txt.

Q: Why are some fonts listed with ls shown in red and with a star at the end of the filename? I am trying to use some fonts in ImageMagick which are not showing up, despite me using the same script that works on another Mac. Listing the fonts in /Library/Fonts I can see that the missing fonts are listed differently when I use the ls -lahFG command.
What does this way of listing files mean?

A: It means the font files are marked as executable, i.e. they contain code which can be executed. This is clearly incorrect for what should be a font file with no concept of being executed.

Report slams costly La. sand berm project
A new report from the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling has some harsh criticism of the sand berms constructed off Louisiana's coast to block oil from moving onshore. A new report from the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling has some harsh criticism of the sand berms constructed off Louisiana's coast to block oil from moving onshore. Six miles of sand berms, at a cost of $220 million, were constructed at the insistence of Gov. Bobby Jindal and other state political leaders who argued the berms were the most effective way to combat the spill. The report, titled "The Story of the Louisiana Berms Project", finds otherwise. It concludes:
Estimates vary, and no precise figures are available, but no estimates of how much oil the berms captured are much greater than 1,000 total barrels.315 In comparison, according to peer-reviewed government estimates released in November, burning, skimming, and chemical dispersion addressed a total of between 890,000 and 1.85 million barrels spilled from the Macondo well.316 To be sure, had the berms been constructed sooner and more extensively, had weather and other factors pushed more oil toward the Louisiana coast, had other response measures been less effective, and had the spill lasted longer, perhaps the berms would have trapped more oil. But not much more than 1,000 barrels, in the context of a spill in which nearly five million barrels of oil were released, and approximately four million barrels entered the ocean, is a miniscule amount by any measure
In addition, the study takes a critical look at the cost of the berms, which ate up $220 of the $293 million BP spent on oil response and removal for Louisiana. "BP's expenditure on berms is about three times greater than its expenditures for all other response and removal activities in Louisiana," the study reports. "The $220 million BP has spent on the berms to date, along with the additional $140 million BP has committed to the project, represents about one-third of the total amount BP has paid to the federal government and the states for oil response and removal in the Gulf of Mexico."
Much of the 45-page report focuses on how the berm project won approval in the first place. Though it faced widespread scrutiny from environmental and engineering groups, the project won approval after increased pressure from vocal state political leaders. The study finds that a May 28 meeting in Grand Isle between President Obama and other political leaders from states affected by the response, set in motion a chain of events that lead to the project's approval. "For the future," the report concludes, "the Commission may wish to recommend use of an independent process or group - perhaps separated from the National Incident Command - to provide decision-makers with a rigorous, scientific analysis of the effectiveness of large-scale and previously unstudied spill response measures like the Louisiana berms project."
BP has declined comment on the commission's findings. The Washington Post reports Jindal released a statement calling the new report "partisan revisionist history at taxpayer expense," and arguing that the claim "that the berms did not pass the commission's 'cost benefit analysis' is insulting to the thousands of people whose way of life depends on the health of our working coast."

I'll head over and check it out.
I love you for caring about the animals... on my way to see what they're up to!


From at least the 1990s, Japanese film and television has displayed a wide range of locations shot and produced over the Asia-Pacific. Some critics have discussed such intensified popular concern for the region as "strategic," as it responds to challenges "to its own national-cultural identity in an era of widely proliferated Asian modernities" (Iwabuchi). Others have discussed it in terms of its participation in film and media networks that have proliferated across places like Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea (Yomota). Yet both arguments suggest a backdrop of contested and precariously changing geographies, relations and industries across the region.
This presentation will address popular films as they engage with the production of locations over Taiwan, Hong Kong and the PRC. What might the stakes of such multi-sited media production and location be? Not only an appeal to industries or audiences, the geographies they construct and negotiate also reflect upon imperatives for locality, history, memory and gender across the region. In relation to such film production, this presentation will address concerns for the past as they are negotiated in present (regional) landscapes, the difficulties of gender (especially of masculinity) to their construction, and the centrality of Tokyo as a space from which to imagine elsewhere.
Stephanie DeBoer is a Ph.D. Candidate in Critical Studies at the School of Cinema-Television, University of Southern California, USA . She is currently a visiting researcher jointly based at Lingnan University's Department of Cultural Studies and Hong Kong Cultural Research and Development Programme. A Fulbright-Hays Graduate Research Fellow, she previously conducted research in Tokyo, and is writing a dissertation on regional interfaces among popular Japanese and Chinese language film and media, particularly as they relate to questions of gender, space and nostalgia.

Tooth x-rays provide new insights into bird origins
A team of researchers at École normale supérieure (ENS) de Lyon, France, and colleagues, has gained new insights into the evolution of birds by studying in detail the teeth of their closest prehistoric relatives. In a study published in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, the researchers describe how they used synchrotron, x-ray and other non-invasive technologies to look at fossilized teeth in unprecedented detail.
Antoine Louchart, the corresponding author at ENS de Lyon, said: "Using synchrotron technology we were able to make visible the internal structure of jaws and teeth at very high resolution, which allowed us to re-evaluate earlier statements based on macroscopic findings that bird teeth differed widely from typical theropod dinosaur teeth."
Because some of the tissues that comprise teeth and jaws, such as enamel or bone, are well-preserved, this makes it easy to compare these fossils with the teeth of other extinct or living vertebrates, in this case non-avian archosaurs – which include dinosaurs, crocodiles, and birds – and mammals.
Antoine Louchart said: "Our research sheds light on the evolution of teeth and eventual tooth loss in birds by revealing for the first time many of the characteristics of the teeth of the 'last' toothed birds. Knowing these characteristics allows us to understand the course of their evolution across dinosaurs, and more widely across amniotes and tetrapods."
The study is the first to examine in detail the dentitions of the so called 'last' toothed birds Ichthyornithiformes and Hesperornithiformes, the closest prehistoric relatives to modern birds. The dentitions – that is the arrangement, type, and number of the teeth – of extinct organisms can provide information about their diet, development and growth, as well as their position in the phylogenetic tree, which shows the proposed evolutionary relationships among various species that are believed to share a common ancestor.
The researchers focused on the two best documented species in the two genera, Ichthyornis dispar –marine birds – and Hesperornis regalis – flightless, foot-propelled divers. They showed that the teeth of Ichthyornis and Hesperornis were very differently shaped. For example, while both species had hooked teeth, which suggests that they may have adapted to hold fish and other slippery prey, Ichthyornis teeth also had sharp cutting edges that were far less developed in Hesperornis teeth.
This may suggest that Ichthyornis cut its prey to pieces before swallowing it while Hesperornis swallowed it whole. Both Ichthyornis and Hesperornis teeth had very thin and simple enamel, which may indicate a loss of enamel on the way to tooth loss in modern birds. However, the researchers caution that this hypothesis will need to be tested by further analysis of avian teeth.
By revealing and comparing details of tooth shape, growth, attachment to the jaw and replacement in Ichthyornis, Hesperornis and other avian and non-avian organisms, the researchers show that many dental characteristics do not – as previously believed – differ radically between dinosaurs, birds and crocodilians. This suggests that characteristics previously only observed in birds were actually more widespread.
According to the authors, this may refute a previous argument in the debate on bird origins that the dental characteristics of Ichthyornis and Hesperornis provided evidence that birds may be non-dinosaurian in origin.

Czinger debuting new four-seat model soon, others coming by 2030
The company behind the wild Czinger 21C has plans for six or seven different models before the decade is over.
By: Christopher Smith
Speaking to Motor1.com at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Czinger founder and CEO Kevin Czinger explained the inspiration and development of the amazing 21C hypercar. However, we were also treated to some tantalising news about Czinger's future, which will include multiple models in different segments. And the second model's debut is just around the corner.
"In a few weeks we will present our next model," said Czinger. "That will be a four-seater vehicle at a lower price. Higher volume, but still very exclusive. More volume by our standards."
In this instance, lower price is still likely quite expensive. The 21C will sell for around $2 million (approx. £1.7 million), and as for higher production volume, that's also relative. Only 80 21Cs will be built, so the four-seater should still be quite exclusive as Czinger says. As for other models, there are plans in motion to offer several vehicles covering various segments.
Gallery: Czinger 21C
"We want to make high-performance cars with lower volumes so we can always offer the latest developments," explained Czinger. "But we have a technology that can make completely new and different structures without investing in new casting and stamping tools, so we can make very different cars. By the end of the decade, in 2030, you'll have six or seven different models, each of which will be very different and define a slightly different segment."
Czinger didn't offer any clues as to the styling or genre of future vehicles. Presumably, a four-seat model could simply be a 21C with a wider cabin but it could also be a saloon or a crossover. Achieving a portfolio of six or seven different models virtually guarantees at least one or two crossovers in the mix. As for the 2030 deadline, the company would need to debut a new model every year and a half to meet the goal.
Gallery: Czinger 21C at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2022
Performance-wise, if the 21C is any indication, expect prolific power with radical styling. Featuring a front-to-back seating arrangement inspired by fighter jets, the 21C's design generates two tonnes of downforce at 200 mph. The narrow interior allows for more surface area on the wings/fenders, and then there's the power. Czinger says the 21C's 2.88-litre twin-turbocharged V8 generates the most power per litre of any production engine, 950 bhp on its own. Coupled with electric power for the front wheels, it makes 1,233 bhp all total. The hypercar has already set track records at Laguna Seca and Circuit of the Americas.

Trainer figures are a type of figure in the Pokémon Trading Figure Game. They are only used to determine if an attempt to use a Trainer card succeeds or fails. Due to Trainers being less important than the Pokémon figures, only one being needed for each player and having near identical bases, there are considerably fewer Trainer figures than Pokémon figures.
When a Trainer card is used, the Trainer is spun. If the result is success the Trainer card is used then placed face down, if the result is miss the players turn ends and Trainer card is kept face up and may be attempted again on a later turn.
All Trainer figures have a small red miss area with a probability of 8.3% and the rest is a large white success area with a probability of 91.6%. The rare Trainer figures have a blue ring around a large part of their bases; no figure or card was ever revealed to have a purpose for this.

Researchers Propose Quantum Computers with Holograms
The quantum mechanical computers has made a great progress in recent years, but mainly because of the complexity and cost, is still in research stage. A new system proposed by a group of researchers in the Air Force and the University Florida Atlantic University, the which, though not likely to bear directly on quantum computing market could reduce the cost of construction considerably.
The system would use photons instead of electrons which do not easily interact with each other and thus do not attach the same to convey information.The traditional solution for this problem is to use an instrument called inteferometer, which allows the manipulation of photons, which, however, dramatically increases the cost. The proposed solution is to "convey" a work of the inteferometer a permanent hologram "scrambled" in a "window" from "OptiGrate" glass.

No Crossing: Suffolk Street Block Closed to Traffic Until 2021
Posted on: August 24th, 2018 at 5:02 am	by Elie
Last modified on: August 24, 2018 at 1:36 pm
Thanks to side-by-side construction on Essex Crossing residential projects, the intersection of Broome and Suffolk Streets is a total disaster. So much so that the development consortium Delancey Street Associates seeks a "temporary" closure of Suffolk Street until 2021.
The sudden traffic change allows the "street segment to be used as staging areas for construction materials and equipment" in the construction of towers at Sites 3 and 4.
This construction along the parallel lines of Delancey and Broome Streets is part of Phase II of the billion-dollar mega-project, which kicked off earlier this year. 202 Broome Street (Site 3) is a 15-story development with 83 market-rate condos across 104,594 square-feet (no affordable housing here) as well as 153,819 square-feet of commercial space for the Market Line; 180 Broome (Site 4) is a 26-story tower will be stocked with 263 apartments (half affordable) across nearly 200,000 square-feet of residential space, plus an additional 148,067 square-feet designated commercial (more Market Line).

By law, anytime there are street closures lasting long than 180 days, a public forum is mandatory. It's scheduled for September 12, 175 Delancey Street, 6pm.
Per the media advisory:
By law, all street closures lasting longer than 180 days require a public forum to be followed by a Community Reassessment, Impact and Amelioration Statement or Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS) incorporating any public comments and responses. As part of the CRIA Statement, a study was prepared in coordination with the NYC Department of Transportation on the temporary closure. At this forum, results of the study will be presented. Members of the public are invited to attend and will be given the opportunity to make comments. This forum complies with Local Law 24 of 2005, (Title 34, Chapter 2, Section 2-16 of the Rules of the City of New York).

Joe Budden Sets A Release Date For His 'Some Love Lost' EP
Peter Walsh
Peter Walsh Published: September 24, 2014
#SLL
Update (Oct. 15, 7:03 p.m.): Here's the tracklist for Joe Budden's upcoming EP Some Love Lost.
Joe Budden has had a roller-coaster ride of a year that has included pretty much everything but a solo project. In fact, outside of Slaughterhouse albums, freestyle battles and guest spots on other MC's tracks, Budden hasn't released a solo effort since No Love Lost. The wait is now over as Budden announced via his Instagram account that he will be releasing his next EP, Some Love Lost, on November 4th. Budden had a tumultuous summer that included a highly-publicized abuse allegation, arrest and charges of robbery and grand larceny and considering that he has always worn his heart on his sleeve, expect the music to touch on all of these life issues. Hopefully we'll have a leak off the project soon and be sure to keep it locked to XXL for any and all news related to the EP.

When I first saw the Boyd St. Bowling Bag by Emmaline, I was in love! I selected a fun text print in a 7oz cotton duck in mandarin, turquoise, natural and grey for the exterior, a zig zag in mandarin (10oz cotton canvas) and twill in ocean.
This bag features a roomy main area, interior zipper and slip pockets lots of fun hardware and a pleated exterior. I chose to make fabric covered rope handles as well as a removable shoulder strap. It was my first attempt at making rope handles and although it was a struggle to turn the fabric, I really like the results and the handles feel nice in the hand. I wasn't sure how to finish the handles but it worked and I will try it again.
The pattern is for the intermediate sewer and although I didn't find it difficult, I wouldn't recommend it for the beginner.
I'm also working on another Steph in the City bag for my sister. Almost finished, I need to make the belt, hide my threads and sew up the lining then I'm shipping it off next week!
A little "Happy Mochi Yum Yum" for lining always make me happy, I hope she likes it too!

Beautiful, I love, love the fabric you used.
I didn't care for the pattern when I first saw it, but yours has made me change my mind. It's so cute and modern. Great job!!!
Thanks Ange, love this pattern and I think I just make another!
Quite honestly Ali, I don't know how big a real bowling ball bag is but I love the size of this bag. Certainly big enough to be an overnight bag or a bag for everyday. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Love the bags, you seem to be up to any challenge and can complete them to perfection and with the perfect fabrics. I am a fan! Julie will love her bag too!
Thanks Mom, I hope to get some goodies out to you this week!
Now I am an even bigger fan, if that's possible! The quality of your work is without equal. I consider myself to be an advanced sewer, but you put me in the shade! Not just the quality of your work, but your creative selection of fabrics. T-rific!
Andrea, my head is going to swell! Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging words!
Thanks Charlotte, I'm always excited to learn new techniques and improve my skills. It's gratifying to know people recognize that!!
Love the piped handles!! I had a version of those myself, but they got tossed aside and saved for another project. Love your fabric choices! It just turned out gorgeous!! Will have to share.
Thank you so much Janelle, I'm absolutely thrilled you featured me on your blog!!
Thanks Christine, looks like you have some sweet bag designs as well! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Oh I want one! The fabric is gorgeous!
I'm a big fan of bags with plain (wrong word but can't think of a better one) outers and cute/funky linings, like your blue one.


The pullup works your upper back muscles, lats, biceps, forearms and core muscles. It's a challenging, effective exercise you can perform using just a pullup bar. Many people struggle initially when attempting pullups, however, as they're a more advanced exercise. If this is the case, introduce negative pullups into your routine, until you can manage full pullups.
A negative pullup is simply the downward phase of a regular pullup. Hold the bar with a wide grip with palms facing away from you, and start with your chin just above the bar. Lower yourself as slowly as you can until your arms are completely straight. To get into the starting position, you may need to stand on a platform or a weights bench or have a partner give you a boost.
Negative pullups are one of the best ways to learn full pullups, according to strength coach Charles Poliquin of the Poliquin Performance Center in Rhode Island. Once you can do a 30-second negative pullup, you should be able to perform at least one standard unassisted pullup. A 30-second negative pullup involves starting with your chin over the bar and descending as slowly as possible, so your arms are not fully straightened until 30 seconds have elapsed. Negatives can also provide a means for women to learn how to do pullups and chinups, adds trainer Rachel Cosgrove of Results Fitness in California.
Negative pullups can help build muscle size and strength. The lowering phase of an exercise is known as the eccentric phase, so a negative pullup is an eccentric exercise. The eccentric phase causes more muscle breakdown than the concentric, or upward, phase and, therefore, can be a useful tool in stimulating muscle growth. Slow eccentric training is also used in rehabilitation and can be effective in helping you overcome strength plateaus, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
Many people opt for the lat pulldown as a pullup substitute if they can't perform full pullups. The issue with the lat pulldown is that resistance machines don't have as much carryover to everyday strength needs and don't recruit as many stabilizing muscles, according to a report from the University of Illinois. Negative pullups, on the other hand, force you to use all your stabilizing muscles, along with recruiting your core and abdominal region to help stabilize your torso and midsection.

Visitation at Arches National Park in Utah grew by 65 percent between 2010 and 2017.
National Park Service officials are reconsidering a plan would require would-be visitors to make reservations to enter Arches National Park after receiving pushback from local businesses.
"We are taking a healthy step back to consider all of our options to mitigate traffic congestion at Arches National Park," wrote National Park Service spokesperson Marco De Leon in an email.
The plan, proposed in 2017, aimed to ease traffic and congestion at the park, located in southeastern Utah. The number of visitors at Arches grew by 65 percent between 2010 and 2017. Arches had about 1.5 million visitors in 2017, making it the 16th most visited national park that year.
But a 2018 report commissioned by the National Park Service found the reservation plan would cool visitation and could cost the tourism industry in the Moab area between $11 million and $22 million in its first year. These potential drops in profits and visitation concerned some in the tourism industry.
"The proposal to require advance reservations is more concerned with protecting the land from the very people it is mandated to protect the land for," wrote Michael Liss, a Moab-based businessman, in an op-ed for the Salt Lake Tribune last summer.
But Erica Pollard, associate director for the southwest region of the non-profit National Park Conservation Association, supports the plan.
"That is the best solution in terms of really managing the number of vehicles that are in the park, being able to find parking spaces, and not having to wait hours outside of the park to get in," she said.
Pollard argues that the National Park Service could advertise the reservation system in advance to help ease any loss in potential visitation.
Other national parks in the Mountain West, including Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, have seen increased visitation in recent years and have also mulled ways to ease traffic.

The climate of Asia is dry across its southwestern region, with dry across much of the interior.  Some of the largest daily temperature ranges on Earth occur in the western part of Asia.  The monsoon circulation dominates across the southern and eastern regions, due to the Himalayas forcing the formation of a thermal low which draws in moisture during the summer.  The southwestern region of the continent experiences low relief as a result of the subtropical high pressure belt; they are hot in summer, warm to cool in winter, and may snow at higher altitudes. Siberia is one of the coldest places in the Northern Hemisphere, and can act as a source of arctic air mass for North America. The most active place on Earth for tropical cyclone activity lies northeast of the Philippines and south of Japan, and the phase of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation modulates where in Asia landfall is more likely to occur. Many parts of Asia are being impacted by climate change.

Temperature
The Southern sections of Asia are mild to hot, while far northeastern areas such as Siberia are very cold, and East Asia has a temperate climate. The highest temperature recorded in Asia was  at
Tirat Zvi, Israel on June 21, 1942 and at Ahvaz, Iran on June 29, 2017. West-central Asia experiences some of the largest diurnal temperature ranges on Earth. The lowest temperature measured was  at Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, both in Sakha Republic of Russia on February 7, 1892 and February 6, 1933 respectively.

Climate change
Many Asian regions are facing the increasing climate temperatures caused by the warming effects of climate change. For instance, Southeast Asian countries are already among the most highly vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change in the world.

Precipitation
A large annual rainfall minimum, composed primarily of deserts, stretches from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia west-southwest through the Taklamakan Desert in Western China, the Thar Desert in Western India and Iranian Plateau into the Arabian Desert in the Arabian Peninsula.  Rainfall around the continent is across its southern portion from Eastern India and Northeast India across the Philippines, Indochina, Malay Peninsula, Malay Archipelago and Southern China into Korean Peninsula Taiwan and Japan due to the Monsoon advecting moisture primarily from the Indian Ocean into the region.  The monsoon trough can reach as far north as the 40th parallel in East Asia during August before moving southward thereafter.  Its poleward progression is accelerated by the onset of the summer monsoon which is characterized by the development of lower air pressure (a thermal low) over the warmest part of Asia.Mawsynram in Meghalaya received annually 11872 cm of rainfall Cherrapunji. The highest recorded rainfall in a single year was 22,987 mm (904.9 in) in 1861. The 38-year average at Mawsynram, Meghalaya, India is 11,872 mm (467.4 in).  Lower rainfall maxima are found around Turkey and central Russia.

In March 2008, La Niña caused a drop in sea surface temperatures around Southeast Asia by an amount of 2 °C. It also caused heavy rains over Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia.

Monsoon

The Asian monsoons may be classified into a few sub-systems, such as the South Asian Monsoon which affects the Indian subcontinent and surrounding regions, and the East Asian Monsoon which affects southern China, Korea and parts of Japan.  The southwestern summer monsoons occur from June through September. The Thar Desert and adjoining areas of the northern and central Indian subcontinent heats up considerably during the hot summers, which causes a low pressure area over the northern and central Indian subcontinent. To fill this void, the moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean rush into the subcontinent. These winds, rich in moisture, are drawn towards the Himalayas, creating winds blowing storm clouds towards the subcontinent. The Himalayas act like a high wall, blocking the winds from passing into Central Asia, thus forcing them to rise. With the gain in altitude of the clouds, the temperature drops and precipitation occurs. Some areas of the subcontinent receive up to  of rain.  The moisture-laden winds on reaching the southernmost point of the Indian subcontinent, due to its topography, become divided into two parts: the Arabian Sea Branch and the Bay of Bengal Branch.

The Arabian Sea Branch of the Southwest Monsoon first hits the Western Ghats of the coastal state of Kerala, India, thus making the area the first state in India to receive rain from the Southwest Monsoon. This branch of the monsoon moves northwards along the Western Ghats with precipitation on coastal areas, west of the Western Ghats. The eastern areas of the Western Ghats do not receive much rain from this monsoon as the wind does not cross the Western Ghats.  The Bay of Bengal Branch of Southwest Monsoon flows over the Bay of Bengal heading towards northeast India and Bengal, picking up more moisture from the Bay of Bengal. The winds arrive at the Eastern Himalayas with large amounts of rain. Mawsynram, situated on the southern slopes of the Eastern Himalayas in Shillong, India, is one of the wettest places on Earth. After the arrival at the Eastern Himalayas, the winds turns towards the west, travelling over the Indo-Gangetic Plain at a rate of roughly 1–2 weeks per state, pouring rain all along its way. June 1 is regarded as the date of onset of the monsoon in India, as indicated by the arrival of the monsoon in the southernmost state of Kerala.

The monsoon accounts for 95% of the rainfall in India. Indian agriculture (which accounts for 25% of the GDP and employs 70% of the population) is heavily dependent on the rains, for growing crops especially like cotton, rice, oilseeds and coarse grains. A delay of a few days in the arrival of the monsoon can badly affect the economy, as evidenced in the numerous droughts in India in the 1990s.  The monsoon is widely welcomed and appreciated by city-dwellers as well, for it provides relief from the climax of summer heat in June.  However, the condition of the roads take a battering each year. Often houses and streets are waterlogged and the slums are flooded in spite of having a drainage system. This lack of city infrastructure coupled with changing climate patterns causes severe economical loss including damage to property and loss of lives, as evidenced in the 2005 Maharashtra floods. Bangladesh and certain regions of India like Assam and West Bengal, also frequently experience heavy floods during this season. And in the recent past, areas in India that used to receive scanty rainfall throughout the year, like the Thar Desert, have surprisingly ended up receiving floods due to the prolonged monsoon season.

The influence of the Southwest Monsoon is felt as far north as in China's Xinjiang. It is estimated that about 70% of all precipitation in the central part of the Tian Shan Mountains falls during the three summer months, when the region is under the monsoon influence; about 70% of that is directly of "cyclonic" (i.e., monsoon-driven) origin (as opposed to "local convection").

Around September, with the sun fast retreating south, the northern land mass of the Indian subcontinent begins to cool off rapidly. With this air pressure begins to build over northern India, the Indian Ocean and its surrounding atmosphere still holds its heat. This causes the cold wind to sweep down from the Himalayas and Indo-Gangetic Plain towards the vast spans of the Indian Ocean south of the Deccan peninsula. This is known as the Northeast Monsoon or Retreating Monsoon.

While traveling towards the Indian Ocean, the dry cold wind picks up some moisture from the Bay of Bengal and pours it over peninsular India and parts of Sri Lanka. Cities like Madras, which get less rain from the Southwest Monsoon, receives rain from this Monsoon. About 50% to 60% of the rain received by the state of Tamil Nadu is from the Northeast Monsoon. In Southern Asia, the northeastern monsoons take place from December to early March when the surface high-pressure system is strongest.  The jet stream in this region splits into the southern subtropical jet and the polar jet.  The subtropical flow directs northeasterly winds to blow across southern Asia, creating dry air streams which produce clear skies over India. Meanwhile, a low pressure system develops over South-East Asia and Australasia and winds are directed toward Australia known as a monsoon trough.

The East Asian monsoon affects large parts of Indochina, Philippines, China, Korea and Japan. It is characterised by a warm, rainy summer monsoon and a cold, dry winter monsoon. The rain occurs in a concentrated belt that stretches east-west except in East China where it is tilted east-northeast over Korea and Japan. The seasonal rain is known as Meiyu in China, Changma in Korea, and Bai-u in Japan, with the latter two resembling frontal rain.  The onset of the summer monsoon is marked by a period of premonsoonal rain over South China and Taiwan in early May. From May through August, the summer monsoon shifts through a series of dry and rainy phases as the rain belt moves northward, beginning over Indochina and the South China Sea (May), to the Yangtze River Basin and Japan (June) and finally to North China and Korea (July). When the monsoon ends in August, the rain belt moves back to South China.

Tropical cyclones

Tropical cyclones form in any month of the year across the northwest Pacific Ocean, and concentrate around June and November in the northern Indian Ocean.  The area just northeast of the Philippines is the most active place on Earth for tropical cyclones to exist.  Across the Philippines themselves, activity reaches a minimum in February, before increasing steadily through June, and spiking from July through October, with September being the most active month for tropical cyclones across the archipelago.  Activity falls off significantly in November.  The most active season, since 1945, for tropical cyclone strikes on the island archipelago was 1993 when nineteen tropical cyclones moved through the country.  There was only one tropical cyclone which moved through the Philippines in 1958.  The most frequently impacted areas of the Philippines by tropical cyclones are northern Luzon and eastern Visayas.  A ten-year average of satellite determined precipitation showed that at least 30 percent of the annual rainfall in the northern Philippines could be traced to tropical cyclones, while the southern islands receive less than 10 percent of their annual rainfall from tropical cyclones.

Most tropical cyclones form on the side of the subtropical ridge closer to the equator, then move poleward past the ridge axis before recurving into the main belt of the Westerlies.  When the subtropical ridge position shifts due to El Nino, so will the preferred tropical cyclone tracks.  Areas west of Japan and Korea tend to experience much fewer September–November tropical cyclone impacts during El Niño and neutral years.  During El Niño years, the break in the subtropical ridge tends to lie near 130°E which would favor the Japanese archipelago.  During La Niña years, the formation of tropical cyclones, along with the subtropical ridge position, shifts westward across the western Pacific Ocean, which increases the landfall threat to China.

A Kona Coffee Blend with the flavor of fresh strawberries dipped in rich creamy white chocolate transforms this coffee into a truly decadent experience. A perfect beverage to enjoy hot or chilled with whipped cream topping. While supplies last.
My wife LOVES this coffee. I have to supply her with it throughout the year all the way to Texas!
Now we have reordered in the net.
It has worked wonders. Now we have another small supply of this wonderful coffee.
Love this, hint of fresh strawberries. If you like strawberries, this is the one. Other brands have been sour, this one is great.
Best coffee I can find any where! Very smooth, not at all bitter. I make a gallon of iced coffee at a time with this flavor. Customer service is awesome. The post office lost my original order ( they did end up finding it ) but customer service sent me out a new order immediately, Thank you for the wonderful service, you have a life long customer!
I first tried this coffee last year and brought a supply back to the States.
Hope they never stop making this flavored coffee.
Great sipping in front of a nice fire or watching a sunrise.
Very good way to start your morning.
My husband and I bought this from a duty free shop last year and fell in love. It's like drinking a chocolate covered strawberry, lightly dusted with coffee. This is one coffee I don't get burned out on.

In a dream, the teeth symbolize our connection to society. Our smiles are what make first impressions with our friends, coworkers and strangers. To have teeth which are dirty, stained, cracked or broken in a dream represent problems making connections with people. You may be worried that the people you meet do not truly know you, are getting the wrong impression, or can only see you for your flaws.
Your teeth in a dream may also represent your ability to care for yourself. Brushing our teeth is a daily task which shows the respect we have for ourselves and the care that we take in public presentation. A dream in which you brush your teeth indicates that you might need to take control of yourself, your public image or your situation and gain confidence. A dream in which your teeth are falling out symbolizes an inability to care for the small responsibilities you have while you are awake. You might be worried that you cannot handle many tasks which have accumulated at work or at home.
Dreams about teeth also very commonly occur when you are having tooth or mouth pain in reality. You may already have noticed a pain while you are awake, and this pain has continued while you are asleep and had a strong influence over your dreams. If you have not noticed a pain while you are awake, you might be grinding your teeth while you sleep, causing some discomfort. A dream in which you hear loud grinding industrial noises might be a result of this problem.
To see a golf ball in your dream represents a trivial matter or situation. Step back for a moment and try to see the bigger side of the world.

Етнічна адаптація — пристосування людини або групи людей до нового етнічного середовища, а частково і пристосування до них цього середовища з метою співіснування та взаємодії.

Спершу поняття «адаптація» виникло в біології; в суспільні науки перенесено представниками органічної школи, які зводили суспільні явища до біологічних. За своєю сутністю процес адаптації тісно пов'язаний з процесом соціалізації, інтеріоризації норм та цінностей нового соціального середовища, способів предметної діяльності, а також форм соціальної взаємодії, що склалися в ньому.

Етапи
Процес адаптації індивіда за критерієм домінуючої форми адаптивної діяльності можна умовно розділити на три етапи:
 орієнтаційний етап, спрямований на ознайомлення адаптантів із соціальним середовищем;
 оцінний етап, на якому відбувається диференціація соціального досвіду та способу життя на взаємоприйнятний та взаємовідхилений відбір можливих у нових умовах форм та способів діяльності згідно з установками та ціннісними орієнтаціями, що раніше склалися у адаптанта;
 етап сумісності, на якому суб'єкт досягає стану адаптованості.

Види
Індикатором адаптації (як стадії процесу) вважається соціальний статус індивіда в новому середовищі, а також його психологічна задоволеність цим середовищем у цілому або його важливими елементами. Адаптація (як процес і як стадія) може вивчатися на рівні соціальної групи, яка розглядається як єдиний та цілісний суб'єкт адаптації. Незалежно від рівня (особа чи соціальна група), можливості та характер адаптативного процесу детермінуються факторами суб'єктивного (пов'язаного з характеристиками адаптанта) та об'єктивного (пов'язаного з характеристиками соціального середовища) порядків.

Специфічні риси адаптації визначаються змістовною наповненістю адаптаційного процесу. Так, на адаптацію мігрантів у новому середовищі (іммігрантів у країні поселення) значною мірою впливають етнічні характеристики як цього середовища, так і самих адаптантів. Адаптація в іноетнічному середовищі охоплює соціальну, культурну та психологічну сферу взаємодії. Тому виділяють три основних типи адаптації:

 соціальна, підставою якої є відмінності у соціальній структурі країни виїзду та країни поселення;
 культурна, пов'язана з етнокультурними відмінностями;
 психологічна, причиною якої є диференціація осіб, соціальних спільностей за інтересами, соціально-психологічними установками, ціннісними орієнтаціями та т. ін.

Об'єктивно адаптація в іноетнічному середовищі детермінується:
 соціальними, політичними, етнокультурними умовами існування іммігрантів в країні поселення;
 етнокультурними та етнопсихологічними особливостями країни виїзду і країни поселення;
 особливостями етнонаціональної ситуації та станом міжетнічних відносин у країні поселення;
 соціальним та професійно-кваліфікаційним складом іммігрантів (об'єктивна характеристика суб'єкта адаптації);
 політикою уряду щодо вихідців з інших країн;
 наявністю та діяльністю громадських (етнічних) організацій (суб'єктивний характер останніх не пов'язаний з діяльністю суб'єкта адаптації).

Суб'єктивними детермінантами процесу адаптації можна вважати:
 психологічні установки іммігрантів на адаптацію;
 особливості соціального сприйняття в процесі міжетнічної взаємодії;
 систему стереотипів та автостереотипів, які склалися.

Загальні проблеми адаптації висвітлюються в працях Ж. Піаже, Р. Мертона, а адаптації — в роботі В. Томаса та Ф. Знанецького «Польський селянин у Європі та Америці». У вітчизняній науковій літературі вивчення процесу адаптації має здебільшого вузькоприкладний характер. На жаль, ґрунтовні теоретико-методологічні праці практично відсутні.

The Warlocks — американская рок-группа из Лос-Анджелеса, основанная в 1998 году гитаристом и певцом Бобби Хекшером. Музыка группы характеризуется использованием различных стилей — от психоделического рока до дроун-музыки. Состав The Warlocks часто менялся и единственным постоянным участником группы является Хекшер.

История

Создание и контракт с Bomp!
Группа была основана в 1998 году в Лос-Анджелесе музыкантом Бобби Хекшером и названа «The Warlocks». Это название использовалось Velvet Underground и Grateful Dead в начале их карьер. Хекшер переехал в Лос-Анджелес из Флориды вместе со своей семьей в возрасте 15 лет. Его первым музыкальным инструментом была виолончель.

До создания группы Хекшер принимал участие в различных музыкальных коллективах Лос-Анджелеса, включая Charles Brown Superstar, Don Knotts Overdrive (позднее переименованная в Headset), Magic Pacer, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, а также записал басовые партии для альбома Stereopathetic Soulmanure Бека.

Группа The Warlocks отыграла свой первый концерт 4 июля 1998 года. Новую группу сравнивали с Spacemen 3 и Velvet Underground времен White Light/White Heat. В октябре 2000 был заключен контракт с Bomp! Records и в том же году вышел дебютный мини-альбом группы. Годом позже группа выпустила свой первый полноформатный альбом, получивший название «Rise and Fall».

Контракты с Birdman и Mute
После выхода дебютного альбома группа покинула Bomp! и заключила контракт с Birdman Records. На новом лейбле в 2002 сначала вышел EP «Phoenix», а затем и полноформатный альбом с таким же названием. Альбом получил положительный отзывы прессы. В записи альбома принял участие Питер Кембер из Spacemen 3 и Spectrum. После выхода альбома группа гастролировала вместе с Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Raveonettes и Interpol.

Вскоре группа усшла с лейбла Birdman и заключив контракт с Mute Records, в 2005 году выпустила альбом Surgery, спродюсированный Томом Ротроком. На этом альбоме группа отходит от характерного для предыдущих релизов психоделического звучания, в сторону поп-музыки, сохраняя при этом жесткий «роковый» звук. Песни на этом альбоме короче и более структурированы, чем на предыдущих дисках. Запись альбома сопровождалась давлением со стороны лейбла, и музыканты остались недовольны финальным продуктом. Релиз вызвал смешанные отзывы критиков. Альбом не имел коммерческого успеха и Mute расторгли контракт с группой.

Последующее творчество
После выхода Surgery группа активно гастролировала по всему миру, а состав участников неоднократно менялся. В 2007 году на Tee Pee Records вышел новый альбом «Heavy Deavy Skull Lover». По заявлению Хекшера, диск был записан за одни выходные, после чего все музыканты покинули группу. Альбом является более мрачным и более экспериментальным, чем предыдущие.

В 2009 году вышел следующий альбом группы, который получил название «The Mirror Explodes». В записи принял участие Джон Сантьяго из Pixies.

23 ноября 2013 года группа выпустила альбом «Skull Worship».

Drones are rapidly becoming one of the most popular hobbies for adults and children alike, and that's why more people buy drone with camera. Generally, kids need some supervision to be able to run a drone, so that's what makes the drone hobby so fun and entertaining, as it can involve the entire family. You can buy drone with camera, pack up a picnic lunch, and head off to the park.
Learning how to buy drone with camera is the start of your flying drone hobby. A flying drone is usually a small quadcopter, much like a real helicopter, but with four blades instead of three.
These drones can be operated by a remote controlled device. When you buy drone with camera, you can also take some stunning photographs and video, all to be enjoyed later at your leisure. While you can buy a drone without a camera, and simply have fun flying it around, when you buy drone with camera, you are in for a more entertaining flying drone experience.
As you enter the flying drone hobby you may soon learn that there are hundreds of choices when you want to buy drone with camera. Since you know in advance that you want a camera that at least eliminates a good 50% of the flying drones that don't contain an additional camera.
You may also purchase a video camera separately, or even use your own. Special mounting kits can be purchased to attach a digital camera or a video camera to the underside of the flying drone.
When finding the best buy drone with camera online, you're going to want to search out some preferred features. First off, be sure that the listing contains a camera in box. Many drones do work with cameras, but often they do not actually contain one in the box.
Find out if the camera takes digital still photos or is actually a video camera. Video images can easily be captured as photographic images, but that doesn't work in reverse. Check the quality of the video.
Are you fine with basic video that may be choppy and of a lower resolution? Or, if you own a real estate business or film company, do you need the highest resolution possible when you go to buy drone with camera, to be used for making professional films?

The Hector Pieterson Museum & Memorial
On June 16, 1976, some 20,000 students in Soweto (a township southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa) gathered to march in peaceful protest against the implementation of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction. The decree represented a significant attack from the apartheid regime on the already struggling education system available to students labeled "non-white." Unlike white students, who received a free and mandatory education, parents of children classified as "non-white" had to pay tuition and for books send their children to non-compulsory schools where they were taught by teachers who were paid a pittance in appallingly poor conditions. The majority of students did not speak Afrikaans, nor did many of the teachers, so the transition to this new language would make it virtually impossible for many students to learn.

The students planned to march from the Orlando West suburb of Soweto to Shap Stadium for a rally, but they encountered police led by Colonel Kleingeld. Kleingeld fired the first shot, and violence erupted as students fled or threw rocks at police, who in turn loosed dogs and fired tear gas canister and bullets at the students. A young man, Hector Pieterson, was shot, and photographer Sam Nzima snapped what would become the iconic image of the uprising, in which Hector's body is carried by Mbuyisa Makhubo as his sister, Antoinette Sithole, runs alongside.** The violence led to more than 150 deaths, and in the following days students across the city and notably from the University of Witswatersrand joined in the protest. The decree was eventually repealed in 1979, but the student uprising is credited with reinvigorating the anti-apartheid campaign by organizing youth against the regime. If you want to know more, Helena Pohldant-McCormick has an amazing digital book project on the student uprising that is well worth checking out.

I went to the Hector Pieterson Museum and Memorial twice during my visit to Johannesburg, both times as part of township tours of Soweto. I had no idea what to expect because the museum does not have a website or much of an online presence, at least not that I've been able to find beyond a few short blurbs on wikipedia and travel websites. I was impressed with the museum, which interprets the events of 1976 and contextualizes against both what happened before and after, and most impressively, includes discussion of lasting impact of the events and their interpretation and commemoration.

The museum constructs its narrative using extensive oral history testimony from many sides of the conflict; students, parents, and police. One of the things that stood out most to me was that there was a real effort to convey what happened in all its confusion and nuance. Contrasting interpretations are offered, as is testimony that complicated ideas about innocence in guilt. In particular, I was struck by the inclusion of the story of a young man who took part in the looting of a shop, probably because of how such reports in the US have been used to discredit the acts of rioters in Ferguson. The museum presents the participants as human beings with agency, and there is no effort to cast them as passive victims in order to make it clear that the violence committed against them was criminal.
For me, this was the most important aspect of the museum. In the US, we have a tendency to want to paint our conflicts in the most black and white terms possible; we like our heroes to be paragons of virtue and our villains to be flawed and malevolent. The problem is that history is made up of the acts of human beings who are inherently flawed and rarely all good or all evil. When we perpetuate these ideas in our presentations of history, we encourage the spread of these ideas in our larger culture. It perpetuates the idea that the only real victim is one who is totally innocent, not just in the context of the crime committed against him or her, but of anything ever. It's why Trayvon Martin was labeled a thug. It's why the Ferguson Police felt the need to inform the public that Michael Brown was suspected in the theft of a box of cigars on the day he was shot by Officer Darren Wilson. It's the reason people wonder what rape victims were wearing.
Our cultural institutions are often reflections of the values we hold as a society. While they cannot single-handedly reform attitudes, they are uniquely placed to encourage dialogue about the past and the issues of race, class, gender, and justice that we still deal with today. When we visit these types of sites, we bring with us values and ideas that can be upheld or challenged by what we see. These sites should be places where we are encouraged to embrace complicated ideas and stories, and then carry that willingness to be uncomfortable and uncertain into the rest of our lives.
*South Africa had a number of racial classifications under apartheid, each of which conveyed a different level of privilege (all subordinate to white, of course). I place "non-white" in quotations because it is the language of the regime; I only use it here to refer to the laws of that period, as I recognize that it is no longer acceptable, and to convey the arbitrary nature of racial classification under apartheid.
**This photograph is widely available online, but I have chosen not to show it here because I do not have the permission of Sam Nzima. The image has a long history of incorrect attribution and appropriation of which I do not want to be a part.

Martin Luther King, Jr., Sarah Palin, and White Privilege

Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a day when the federal government shuts down and our nation celebrates Dr. King's contributions and legacy. This holiday usually sparks some commentary pressing people to recall that King was not a warm and fuzzy character who encouraged others to dream about racial equality. He was a radical, and his commitment to nonviolence was a key part of that radicalism. Like many other civil rights leaders, King was under intense surveillance by the FBI, a fact that seems even more salient given the US's current NSA surveillance controversy.
The struggle to remember King's radicalism is particularly salient in the wake of the death of Nelson Mandela. NPR used the occasion to discuss what happens when media outlets agree to agree, calling up the examples of King and Mandela. Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote an excellent piece over at The Atlantic on Mandela's rejection of nonviolence that also cites comments on the topic by King and Malcolm X, a reminder that while King embraced nonviolence, the story was more complex than Kumbaya.
While it may seem tiresome to some audiences to continually speak to King's radicalism and fight back against the sanitization (whitewashing?) of his image, the cost of not speaking out is higher. Just yesterday, former Alaskan governor and reality TV star Sarah Palin used King's words to accuse President Obama of "playing the race card." Palin's remarks immediately drew fire from most circles, including her supporters. While most comments have focused on contextualizing her statements and arguing about whether Obama has played "the race card," fewer looked at her misappropriation of King's words and legacy.
The reason I bring up Palin's remark is that it is a perfect example of the impact of white privilege on society and how we talk about the past. I can basically guarantee that whatever Palin was thinking when she posted that comment, it had almost nothing to do with Dr. King and his work and everything to do with her whitewashed ideas about him. When we don't talk about the parts of King's legacy, and the Civil Rights Movement as a whole, that make us uncomfortable, that remind us that he was a human being instead of a saint, we lose the significance of his contribution. He becomes the comfort food version of history; empty calories that feel good without providing any nourishment.
If we can't talk about Dr. King's complicated legacy, how can we expect to create a society where we can talk openly about white privilege and other aspects of institutionalized racism? One of the more recent pieces I've seen discussing the topic (cited here on Buzzfeed) evidently drew so much ire that the author took down the tumblr where the comic originally appeared. Pieces surface all over the place, from Peggy McIntosh's classic "Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" to articles written in dude-speak to posts on "Explaining White Privilege to a Broke White Person." These ideas are difficult to discuss even in communities where respecting different perspectives is supposedly the ideal; just look at the #solidarityisforwhitewomen controversy that erupted in the name of finding a path to more intersectional feminism.

I was attracted to public history because it seemed like a way to make history useful and relevant. As I have worked on civil rights history, and more importantly talked with people who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement, I have to come to believe that as a public historian, I have an obligation to facilitate a discussion about social justice, especially when the injustices of the past connect with the injustices of the present. The way forward, from my perspective, is finding ways to talk about complicated topics that are respectful both of those engaged in the conversations and the facts themselves.
So let's start talking about Dr. King's radicalism. Let's talk about Mandela's rejection of nonviolence. And in the meantime, white people, before we say anything at all, we need to ask ourselves, Yo, Is This Racist?
