Resistance to full-body scanners at airports explodes
Eric Stoner	November 24, 2010
A movement against the use of full-body scanners by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which can already be found at nearly 70 airports across the country, has exploded over the last couple weeks. Here are some of the highlights.
Activist Brian Sodegren, who is an Ashburn pharmaceutical executive by day, has called for a National Opt Out Day today, the day before Thanksgiving, and has received significant attention in the mainstream media. As Sodegren explains the campaign on his site:
All you have to do is say "I opt out" when they tell you to go through one of the machines. You will then be given an "enhanced" pat down. This is a right given to you by the TSA. There is no intent or desire to delay passengers en route to friends and family over Thanksgiving. We want people to stay within the confines of the law, and exercise their right to a pat down because of the lingering questions over the scanners.
And those concerns are many. The ACLU has denounced the scanners, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, which argues that they are "unlawful, invasive, and ineffective."
Others are concerned about the potential health effects of the scanners. According to a Congressional report delivered by Dr. David Brenner, head of Columbia University's Center for Radiological Research, the TSA seriously underestimated the amount of radiation that the scanners use to capture their images, and hence underestimated the risk that they pose of causing cancer as well.
While there are currently 400 machines in use nationwide, it was revealed last March that the TSA plans to install some 1,800 new machines by 2014, at a cost to taxpayers of $2.4 billion.
In one early victory, pilots and flight attendants, two groups that had announced boycotts or voiced protests of the scanners due in part to health concerns, were recently given exemptions by the TSA from the scans.
Several other websites and Facebook pages – such as We Won't Fly, which apparently has had more than 600,000 hits over the last couple weeks – have been set up to help spread the word and promote the action, each with a slightly different approach. Interestingly, concern over the scanners seems to cross the ideological spectrum, as even conservatives are upset at these new security measures.
Republican Rep. Ron Paul, for example, introduced the American Traveler Dignity Act last Wednesday, that would hold airport security legally accountable for screening procedures. Another site, called Shut Down the Airports, which is calling for tens of thousands of people to essentially swarm and blockade airports across the country on December 1, also urges its readers to refuse to fly until airports "get rid of the TSA goons and replace them with a functioning, private security force." Not exactly the solution I had in mind.
Several other protest ideas have been thrown out there that are quite funny. As the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg wrote:
…here's an idea you might try to make the day extra-special. It's a one-word idea: Kilts. Think about it — if you're a male, and you want to bollix-up the nonsensical airport security-industrial complex, one way to do so would be to wear a kilt. If nothing else, this will cause TSA employees to throw up their hands in disgust. If you want to go the extra extra mile, I suggest commando-style kilt-wearing. While it is probably illegal to fly without pants, I can't imagine that it's illegal to fly without underpants.
Another website has been set up to encourage men to go through scanners aroused, while a group of German activists with the Pirate Party have already pulled off a "fleshmob" – voluntarily stripping down to their underwear before going through security to protest the scanners.
Given how widespread the anger is over these new security measures, it seems that it will only be a matter of time before the scanners are either removed or the policies around their use are changed.
While that would be a step in the right direction, we are still a long way from acknowledging that the most important thing the United States could do to lessen the risk of terrorism is to change our aggressive foreign policy, which is at the root of the problem, and use our immense resources to ensure that people around the world are able to meet their basic necessities. There are simply no technological fixes for these injustices.

John Bailo says:
If they do that, then I think everyone who gets on a plane should know that "X many people refused the TSA". Why should I or anyone I know risk their life because a bunch of loudmouths want to play Gandhi over a 2 second test!
Not only flight attendants and pilots but also children and people whose health could be deteriorated as a result of these new devices should be entitled to exemption. What is needed is the gradual limitation of the number of people who go through the screening.

Colombia's president Iván Duque talks about tackling climate change, Venezuela crisis
"We only produce 0.4 percent of CO2 global emissions, but we are one of the most vulnerable countries on climate change effects."
June 27, 2019, 2:32 PM UTC
By Claire Atkinson
CANNES, France — Advertising can help combat climate change, says Colombia's president, Iván Duque, who recently spoke at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity about the significance of the orange economy — as the cultural and creative industries are known.
In a brief conversation with NBCNews.com, Duque discussed climate issues, the war on drugs, his views on the crisis in Venezuela and the need for a change of government and what he sees as his administration's achievements and ongoing challenges. The remarks have been slightly condensed.
NBC News: You want ad agencies to help fight the problem of climate change. Can you tell us what the effect of climate change is on Colombia and how to stop it?
Colombia has the sixth cleanest energy matrix in the world. We only produce 0.4 percent of C02 global emissions, but we are one of the most vulnerable countries on climate change effects. Why? Because we have seashore erosion, because we have seen the dismantling of our snow-capped highest mountains. We've seen predatory activities that have generated maybe deforestation. Many people still use wood to cook in some parts of the country. There has been an expansion of cattle that can be managed in a more productive way, so it's a combination of elements.
For Colombia, you have to be able to change this. It implies you have sensibility and consciousness from the citizens. That means how do we protect, renew, reuse, recycle. How do we seed trees, how do we plant trees.
Why do I think advertising can play a role? Because like no other industry, they can get to all of your senses in seconds and they can mobilize citizens, too, to embrace the right consciousness.
NBC News: So there's a government pitch right now to have ad agencies pitch you ideas that you implement at some point.
To fight deforestation initially, and we hope to have a result by October.
NBC News: What can you tell us about Colombia and Venezuela and how you are dealing with 1.5 million migrants entering the country?
A: It is the biggest challenge we face, and this is the worst migration crisis in Latin America's history, and this is also a grave humanitarian crisis. We have 1.5 million [Venezuelan] people, almost, in Colombia and they, for example, are looking for medicine, food and shelter.
We have showed the world — instead of getting into a set of restrictive sentiments, since we understand they are under a dictatorship and trying to find opportunity — we've made a migration policy based on fraternity.
In an orderly way we can normalize and look at this and we can have a labor market policy so that the migrants won't get paid below the average salary of a Colombian and that happens due to the policy we launched which has allowed for foreign workers in Colombia.
So I think we are showing the world with our example what we can do. This is not going to be sustainable because the main cause of the dictatorship has to end. If it doesn't end we'll get more migrants and we'll have maybe more than 2 million by the end of next year.
NBC News: Can you give us any update on Juan Guaidó, the Venezuelan opposition leader?
Juan Guaidó is a hero, he's a patriot. He has been mobilizing the Venezuelan population to find Democratic change. His leadership has had an impact on the military, which I think is broken, and now we see more people pledging loyalty to the Assembly and to him. So I hope the end of the dictatorship is going to happen pretty fast.
A dictatorship doesn't end from one day to another. It takes time, but I think the diplomatic blockade, the sanctions and the way the international community has reacted against Maduro makes this current situation the most important opportunity ever seen to put an end to the dictatorship in Venezuela.
NBC News: In April, President Donald Trump attacked you and said you were not doing enough on the war on drugs; some U.S. senators came to your defense, calling you one of their best allies. What you expect America to do in regard to the war on drugs?
This is not a one-country issue, this is a multicountry effort. We all have to coordinate, cooperate and there is co-responsibility. The reason why we have decided to fight narco-trafficking is not to please any specific country, it is because it is our moral duty. There is a need to protect security and the rule of law in Colombia. And we have been strong allies in that fight.
Colombia represents 50 percent of what is seized in drugs in the Western Hemisphere. And to give you a number, the market value of all the seizures we had in 2018 is the equivalent of the profits in 2018 of BP or Goldman Sachs. So no country in the world does what we do, in this effort. That's why we believe that we all have to cooperate and Colombia will continue to do all it can.
We all have to take co-responsibility. There has to be a reduction in consumption as well. There has to be support for seizures on the borders and in the streets. We have been allies of the United States, and they have been allies in this task, but as I said, it's a matter of co-responsibility.
NBC News: You are coming up on your anniversary as president at the end of summer. What are your key achievements and continuing challenges?
I, first, must say the economic recovery; the economic growth in Colombia by the end of 2017 was 1.4 percent. Last year in the first two trimesters of our government we got it to 2.7 percent. This year, we hope it will be above 3.4 to 3.5 percent. And that will put us above the world average and regional average.
Investment in Colombia is growing. In the first trimester, foreign direct investment grew at 68 percent levels, which are very high, and also not forgetting private sector companies investing in Colombia, like Amazon, which launched a web services company in Bogotá. They hired several hundred employees, they want to bring up to 2,000. We have now Microsoft putting web services in Colombia. We have OTT (over-the-top video) platforms investing in content development. We have Softbank, the largest technology investment fund, putting $1 billion in Colombia in the first trimester.
Security, we have reduced homicide rates by 5 percent, kidnapping rates by 43 percent. Robbery on banking and traditional business has dropped by the fastest rate in four years.
When it comes to closing the gap, this year we will have the first 80,000 Colombian students from low-income families entering free public universities, and we hope to bring that to almost 334,000 by the year 2022.
We got the electric car bill approved in Congress — and this is very important — expanded the non-conventional renewable energies. We are modernizing Colombia. We also have the implementations of reparations on former combatants, and we are also making this great effort of migration with fraternity, so I think Colombia is making important changes. I have only been 10 months in office, and I have three more years to go to produce the changes that I want to have in Colombia.
You have talked about expanding broadband availability? What is it right now and what do you want it to get to?
We just got approved the telecom bill. This is going to bring a lot of investment in Colombia because we want to get to 70 percent coverage of high-speed internet. We are 50 percent now and getting Colombia on track to becoming a 5G country by the end of 2024.
And what are the top challenges that you face?
Having an exponential growth of illegal crops. 2015 to the day I took office, they almost tripled, so the challenge is, we have to first stop the growth and now downsize, so that's a major challenge. The other challenge is getting the economy to grow above 4 or 5 percent, which is my goal at the end of the administration. And the third one is to be able to lift 3.4 million out of poverty in these three years that I'm in office. I think there is a way to expand the middle class and close the gaps.

Katie slipped her sandals off and ran along the beach. She could feel wet sand on her feet and smell the freshness of the sea. There was no one about, but she could hear the sound of the waves gently tapping the shore.
She walked at the edge of the water until she'd almost reached the end of the cove. A few people were beginning to come onto the beach. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through her foot. Looking down she saw a purple blue jellyfish, which seemed to be panting. Hobbling to the wooden breakwater she sat down. She was almost crying with pain.
A young man, followed by a black and white Collie called Patch, was running towards her.
"Are you hurt?" he called.
"Yes I've been stung by a jellyfish, although it feels like I've been stabbed."
"Was it a blue one with purple splodges?" he asked.
"Hmmmm they can be a bit nasty. We don't usually get those here, but I noticed a few yesterday. I'm going to take you to the hospital."
Within seconds strong arms had scooped her up and she could feel the warmth of him as he carried her to his car.
"By the way, I'm Steve."
"Katie," she replied.
Her foot throbbed. She vaguely thought about being in a car with a stranger. That wasn't very sensible, but she could feel herself sweating and cold at the same time. Patch looked at her with interest, but she couldn't respond.
By the time they reached A & E her foot had swollen and she was feeling faint. Steve spoke to the triage nurse and she was taken straight to the doctor who gave her a steroid jab. While she rested n the narrow bed Steve kept her company, popping out to the car now and again to check that Patch was alright. When the swelling eased a little, Katie was allowed to go home. The danger of a further reaction had passed.
As they approached Steve's car he smiled at her and said, "Did I save your life? Does that get me a date?"
She looked at him and took in what an attractive man he was. Sitting in the car she looked at him with interest.
But it was Patch who took the first kiss by giving Katie a big lick on her face.
The writing task was to write a story which included a jellyfish and was a romance. The restriction was having ten to fifteen minutes.

When is a Grail not a Grail?
Comments Off on When is a Grail not a Grail?
Sir Perceval is most traditionally the hero of the grail quest, although in some versions the hero is Sir Galahad, and according to a certain Heinrich von dem Türlin the hero is Sir Gawain. Heroes come, heroes go, but the grail is always the grail. Except when it isn't. But when it is, it's always a shallow serving dish. Except when it isn't.
Wagner, although he was inspired by the Middle German epic poem by Wolfram von Eschenbach whose grail is most assuredly of the sideboard variety, changes the dish to a spear.
Dan Brown says it's Mary Magdalene's womb.
Monty Python is not specific, but seems to want to indicate that the grail is the cup from the Last Supper. A popular choice these latter days.
There is historical precedent for all of these alternatives. The grail, being a metaphor, can mean different things to different people. The grail, since no one's actually seen it, can change it's shape.
Early on in the research stage for What is the Meaning of All This? I came across an internet rumor that the grail (the holy grail) had been brought to Accokeek, Maryland by Sir Walter Raleigh in a ship called the Susan Constant. The Susan Constant actually existed. She sailed from England in 1606 with a cargo of 105 of the hardy souls who founded Jamestown. The last record of her is from 1615. She is mentioned by name, along with her sister ships on the Jamestown voyage, by – 'presumably' as Wikipedia has it – Sir Walter Raleigh. Except that whoever did pen the mention attributed to Raleigh seems to recall that her name was not Susan but Sarah. Susan is from Samuel Purchas' chronicle of the Pilgrims. We don't know who got it wrong, but I'm pleased to report that the mix-up has engendered a small but vigorous amount of scholarly controversy. The floating replica of the ship, which you can see at Jamestown, is named Susan.
The internet rumor did not mention how Raleigh had got his paws on the grail, nor why he'd want to take it to Accokeek. Nor what he did with it once he got it there.
Accokeek is across the Potomac from Mount Vernon, Virginia. It just so happens that I have good friends who live in Accokeek. Maybe I ought to get a metal detector and a shovel, and go out for a visit.
Why Accokeek? At the time that Raleigh (died 1618) brought the grail, there was no place called Accokeek. There was an Indian village there by a creek. The Accokeek Indians, who occupied the site until about 1630. The first European to sail past this site was Captain John Smith. In 1652 it was granted to a certain John Withers, who later sold it to a chap named Peyton, who in his turn sold it in 1662 to George Mason. Who named his plantation Accokeek after the now-absent Indian tribe.
Possibly, whoever cooked up the Accokeek grail rumor willfully or otherwise tricked himself into believing that George Mason was a member of the Masonic Order. (For all I know, he was, but it seems more likely a coincidence of names. Any George Mason scholars out there care to set me straight?)
So: The Susan (or Sarah) Constant, which was known to have sailed from England to America. A written mention of the ship by someone who may have been the storied and infamous Sir Walter Raleigh. A site named Accokeek (with a faint Captain John Smith connection) owned by the influential George whose name happened to be Mason.
Toss these all together in a shallow serving dish, and what do you have? The years don't rightly match up, but hey; at least they're all in the same century.
How clever of the Knights Templar to have hidden the grail in England. Where, come to think of it, it would have been handed off to Raleigh by Queen Elizabeth.
Get involved in mystical stuff like a grail quest and you never know what you'll find. I found a name for my heroine: Susan Constant. And a birthplace for her: Accokeek, Maryland.

Brush up your bathroom Spanish: a truly crappy language lesson
Katherine Stanley July 20, 2015 July 20, 2015
There's really only one place you should read this column. (Alberto Font/The Tico Times)
"What's so funny?" my husband asked as I cleaned coffee off our morning paper – the coffee I'd just spit up all over the page.
I read him the story aloud, and he raised his eyebrows at my apparently odd sense of humor and lack of regard for human life: it was a serious report about the death of a man in the city of Cartago. Then I got to the sentence in question, and he understood. "Germán Valverde Mora, 63 years of age, known as Caca 'e gato…"
I should mention that this was not a tabloid from the pulpería but La Nación, our newspaper of record. I don't question their use of the man's nickname; he was apparently a well-known local character whose real name was probably a mystery to most of those who knew him. It just surprised me to see such a terrible nickname in that particular context.
"Why, but why, would a man be known as 'Cat Poop'?" I asked.
"I don't know," he admitted, but did his best. "Maybe they were saying he was bad to the bone. There's nothing worse than cat poop, you know. You get cat poop on a tin roof and it just eats right through it."
To that, I had nothing to add.
The alias of don Germán (who was also eulogized in that day's sports section as a lifelong fan of the local Cartaginés football club) is mostly indicative of Costa Rica's love of nicknames, but it also got me thinking about that essential role played by, well, the bathroom in the proper use of informal Spanish, or any language. It's not pretty, that's for sure, but if you're going to speak Spanish long enough to get a flat tire, or deal with significant bureaucratic trámites, or watch sports of any kind, or navigate the workplace, you're going to hear it.
I can't do this elegantly or politely, so if a column about poop-related expressions is not to your taste, for which you have my utmost respect and admiration, this is the place to stop. You should also exit now if you are reading this column aloud in front of your middle-school Spanish class; contact me for a replacement column entitled "10 Ways Costa Rican Kids Compliment their Teachers Daily." (Or, keep going, make these expressions the topic of their next test, and watch as more Spanish is spoken in your classroom than ever before.)
Anyone still with me? Settle back on your chair – or if you're really serious, your throne – and let's begin.
First, we'll take care of Number One. There's the more correct orinar, and the coarser mear (akin to "piss"), which leads to the commonly heard phrase meando fuera del tarro — pissing outside the tin, or way off base, totally wrong, barking up the wrong tree. There's also más larga que una orinada de balcón, mentioned in a previous column — longer than peeing off a balcony.
See also: You can't speak Spanish without huevos
Next we'll descend a bit further into the sewer and deal with some fecal matter. As in English, there is a whole scale beginning with heces for doctors, caca for kids or general semi-polite usage (akin to "poop"), and then your standard mierda, as in the very expressive and satisfying qué mierda (as your anger and frustration increase, lengthen the roll of the "r" accordingly); pura mierda (terrible, no-good, useless – heard very frequently during soccer games); or mierdero, a crappy situation.
Mierda, however, also plays part of the role that "hell" plays in English. In Spanish, you don't send someone to eternal damnation, but rather down the crapper (váyase a la mierda). Finally, it appears that a colorful and now little-used way to depart a raucous gathering was to say, "Me voy a la mierda," akin to smacking down your glass, pushing back from the bar and saying, "Well, boys, I'm going straight to hell."
We'll reach rock-bottom with cagar, the rudest word for defecation and the basis for a wide range of, let's face it, very useful expressions. Many of them are akin in meaning and vulgarity to "screwed," or maybe even closer to screwed's f-bomb cousin. Someone screwed up? Se cagó. A royal screwup? Una cagada. Someone is screwed, in general? Está cagado. Someone screwed up so badly that everyone else is screwed, too? Se cagó en todo(s). Someone really, really, really screwed up? One of my favorite all-time expressions in any language: Se cagó en la olla de leche, or, in the pot of milk. This is such a gross, disturbing and vivid image that I can't think of a better way to describe a truly epic fail.
Recommended: The amazing true story of tuanis and brete — words to be thankful for
You can be cagado(a) de miedo (scared to death) or cagado(a) de risa (laughing your head off). Interestingly, the latter expression also has an alternate meaning: it can refer to someone who is crazy lucky, with an implication that she doesn't deserve it. For example, someone who is being paid a kingly salary with very little responsibility, a topic of heated debate in Costa Rica recently, might be described this way, along the lines of the British use of "laughing." Cagarle a alguien is to give him a huge scolding, to chew him out.
Finally, to say that someone's son or daughter (child or adult) is cagadito is a way to say that he or she looks just like the parent, and not in a good way. In other words, "She looks just like you, poor thing." It's a classic example of the Costa Rican choteo — what I would define as "friendly banter that would probably make an unpracticed gringa like me cry if it were directed my way." I lack the thick skin that would allow me to be told my offspring are as ugly as I am, and take it in stride — although there are also gender dynamics at play, since this insult is generally directed at dads, not moms. I think it's safe to say that women in any culture aren't too thrilled about comments implying their kids look unfortunate.
This concludes my terribly inappropriate tangent; we now return to our scheduled programming. Stay tuned for next month's installment, which will focus on something entirely pleasant and high-minded. Terms of endearment, perhaps? Popular expressions at high tea on rainy San José afternoons? The proper way to increase the number of subjunctives and conditionals in a request according to the social status of the recipient? (Me permito solicitarle respetuosamente que valore la posibilidad de perdonarme por la columna desagradable sobre mierda.) I promise, it'll be clean enough for church coffee hour.
Then again, if you get in a fender-bender on the way to church, or your car breaks down because your mechanic is monumentally stupid, or the priest's son (who looks just like him, poor thing) drops the communion wine, you'll be prepared.

Safety of concurrent bevacizumab therapy and anticoagulation in glioma patients.
J Neurooncol. 2011 Jun 26. [Epub ahead of print]
Norden AD, Bartolomeo J, Tanaka S, Drappatz J, Ciampa AS, Doherty LM, Lafrankie DC, Ruland S, Quant EC, Beroukhim R, Wen PY.
Center for Neuro-Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, 450 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215, USA.
Venous thromboembolic events (VTE) are common in glioma patients and are typically treated with anticoagulant medications. The anti-angiogenic agent bevacizumab (BVZ) increases the risks of both VTE and hemorrhagic complications. Little is known about the hemorrhagic risk of anticoagulation in glioma patients receiving BVZ. We reviewed medical records from 282 BVZ-treated patients at our center and identified 64 who received concurrent anticoagulant therapy. The risk and severity of hemorrhagic complications were assessed. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the risk of hemorrhage between subjects who received and did not receive anticoagulants. Forty-seven patients (73%) had glioblastoma, 15 (23%) anaplastic glioma, and 2 (3%) other tumors. Thirteen (20%) and 51 (80%) patients received warfarin and low-molecular-weight heparin, respectively. The indication for anticoagulation was deep venous thrombosis in 37 patients (58%), pulmonary embolism in 22 (34%), and both in 5 (8%). Thirteen patients (20%) experienced hemorrhage, of which four hemorrhages (6%) were serious (grade ≥ 3): one patient had grade 5 intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), one grade 4 ICH, one grade 3 epistaxis, and one grade 3 gastrointestinal hemorrhage. ICH was seen in seven patients (11%), of which five (8%) were grade 1. Among 218 patients who did not receive anticoagulants, there were two (1%) serious hemorrhages (both grade 4 ICH). Both the serious hemorrhage rate and overall ICH rate were higher in patients who received anticoagulants (P = 0.03 and 0.02, respectively). Anticoagulant use during BVZ therapy may increase the risk of hemorrhage in glioma patients, although it is generally well tolerated.

HP's Pricey, Powerful Workstation
By Anush Yegyazarian
HP xw4400 Workstation (1.86GHz Core 2 Duo, 256MB DDR2, 80GB, CD-ROM, Windows XP Pro)
The xw4400 offers tool-less access to its tidy interior.
If you're looking for a computer that will help you get critical work done, and you need superior graphics power, you may want to forgo a standard desktop in favor of a different class of system, such as HP's xw4400 Personal Workstation. We evaluated a $3395 configuration that offers many familiar PC parts but adds professional-level graphics and extensive software certification.
With the aid of its Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 processor, 2GB of RAM, and nVidia Quadro FX 1500 graphics card carrying 256MB of GDDR3 memory, the unit we tested scored a 161 on WorldBench 5, better than the marks of most high-end desktops we've looked at. (Since this is an entry-level workstation, you won't get dual-processor support.) It also performed well on the 3D Studio Max portions of WorldBench 5, completing the DirectX and OpenGL tests in 200 and 218 seconds, respectively.
The system's interior boasts six drive bays (four of them external and two internal; on our test machine only two externally accessible drive bays were available), as well as three PCI and three PCI Express slots (only one PCI and two PCIe slots were open). The two internal drive bays contain a pair of 7200-rpm 160GB SATA II hard drives configured in a striped RAID array. The design of the bays makes sliding out the drives for replacement especially easy. Our test machine came with a multiformat DVD burner and a brilliant 19-inch HP L1955 LCD.
The xw4400 also offers gigabit ethernet and a full complement of ports, including seven external USB 2.0 ports and three FireWire ports. The Quadro FX 1500 graphics card has two DVI ports, enabling you to connect your monitor via an all-digital pathway. (You can connect an analog monitor, but to do so you must buy the necessary cable and adapter separately.) From the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic card, you get high-end audio, too (our system did not come with speakers).
HP bundles several system tools with the xw4400. The one most appealing to workstation buyers may be the Performance Tuning Framework tool, which will analyze your computer and make sure that you have the right drivers and settings to optimize performance in a number of applications--including design, video editing and authoring, and 3D creation and rendering apps--you're likely to use. Even if you use a program that's not on its master list, the tool will still help you get the latest drivers. Among other useful utilities is HP's Insight Diagnostics, which can scan your system for malfunctioning parts and corrupted drivers.
For smaller businesses that are seeking a powerful system and need professional-level graphics, the xw4400 Personal Workstation deserves a look.

Strong performance and good expansion options make this workstation worth considering.

More than 50 health care leaders discussed strategies to improve health equity and eliminate health care disparities at an AHA-Joint Commission summit Sept. 16 in Oakbrook Terrace, Ill.
Institute for Diversity in Health Management (IFD) President and CEO Tomás León and Ronald Wyatt, M.D., patient safety officer and medical director in The Joint Commission's Division of Healthcare Improvement, co-facilitated the summit.
Leaders from Ascension Health, Henry Ford Health System, Kaiser Permanente, Navicent Health and other organizations shared examples of how their organizations are working to advance diversity and improve health equity.
Ninfa Saunders, CEO of Navicent Health in Macon, Ga., and IFD chair, spoke about ways the health system is diversifying its leadership and governance, as well as using race, ethnicity and language preference data to identify and address gaps in care.
Wisdom, who also serves as Henry Ford Health System's chief wellness and diversity officer and a member of the AHA's Equity of Care Committee, and Saunders praised the AHA's #123forEquity Pledge to Act Campaign for making this work a priority for the field.
The AHA launched the #123forEquity campaign last year to accelerate progress on eliminating health care disparities. More than 1,200 organizations have signed the pledge.

Iraqi leader to Obama: 'Why did you leave Iraq to Iran?'
Jill Gregorie Contributor
September 06, 2012 12:29 PM ET
President Barack Obama is expected to tout the end of American military involvement in Iraq during his Thursday night speech at the Democratic National Convention, but a prominent tribal leader who helped end the Iraq War is now asking Obama, "Why did you leave Iraq to Iran?"
Eli Lake of The Daily Beast reports that Ahmad Abu-Risha, a member of the coalition of Sunni Arab tribal leaders opposed to al-Qaida that helped turn the tide in Iraq, is displeased that the U.S. has broken off communications after pulling out troops in December 2011.
During the troop surge of 2007, the group had several meetings with General David Patraeus, President George W. Bush and military officials to strategize against al-Qaida and help set the foundation for a new government.
Communication has since fizzled. Although then-Senator Obama met with the group for 90 minutes in 2008 and committed to continuing cooperation, Abu-Risha says he hasn't met with any American officials since U.S. troops left Iraq.
Abu-Risha described Obama's words as "political propaganda" and remarked, "What he said, we don't see happening."
James Jeffrey, the former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, suggested that improved security conditions may be the reason that contact broke off, but Abu-Risha remains unconvinced.
Abu-Risha said that his message to Obama is: "Why did you give up the many sacrifices that Americans made? You can still have a partnership with us. If you are going to be president for the next four years, bring Iraq back into a strategic partnership with the United States and remember the people who fought against al Qaeda with you."

Do you remember....? Join in discussions of Warsop and its local history, and share your memories of the good times from the past with other locals.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic.
Why did George Street get renamed and what was the relevance of the new name.
I think renaming George Street to Mosscar Close possibly had something to do with not having 2 streets with the same name in the same postcode area, but that's only my guess ... I'm sure the actual reason will be in the parish council records somewhere so I'll look it up.... when did the name change happen .. must be around 15 years ago now at least because I know I was still a paper lad when it did.
Thanks Tomas. I didn't relaise I'd been driving past and wondering for so long.
and Carr is a variant of the Scottish name Kerr, which was the surname of someone living next to boggy ground.
There was a Mosscarr Farm at one time (many years ago) so if the ground round that area was boggy in medieval times then it could have come from this.
Carr is also a name for boggy land, hence The Carrs - it used to be boggy!
I just noticed on Sanderson's map (1835) the stretch of The River Meden between Nettleworth and the Hammerwater Bridge is referred to as the Moscarr Drain, so it's obviously a traditional name for the area. I think the 'new' bungalow near the fishing ponds is called Mosscarr bungalow. Where was the Mosscarr farm?
Speaking from experience, having two George Streets with Warsop postcodes did sometimes create problems for the postal service and I suspect for other delivery services and I think this was probably the main reason for the change.
Can take you back to 1966. At the time, I was on The Co-op Milk round, my first job. My round, took me to Spion Kop, and indeed, brought me and my first wife together, as she was a Spion Kop girl. But thats for another day. My story, is true, and not made up. In those days, George Street, was an unmade road, all the way to the top. In winter, it became almost impassable, but because we used the Battery Milk Float of the day, and of course the weight, it didnt stop us getting to the top. This day, it was snowy, icy, and very cold. The post van was at the bottom, and couldnt get up the hill. So the postie, asked me, if we could deliver a parcel to the top house, on the left.....David Reeves ?...... It was about 3 foot long, 8 inches wide. No problem, so I put it on the top of the milk crates. we progressed up the street, delivering as we went, and just on the brow of the hill, we hit a bump, and, yes, you guessed it, the parcel dropped off, and without stopping, slid, down the hill, round the corner. We eventually found it, across the A60, in Bill Woods driveway. On retreaving it, the parcel had burst open, for us to find, it was an artificial leg. Brand new one. I personally walked back up the hill, with the leg, under my arm, and delivered it personally. Nothing was ever said. Lots of memories of the guys on the Co-op milk, Louis Hickton, Ronnie Walker, Terry Broughton, Alan Bowers, Derek Knowles, Mick Sentance, Mick Talbot. Are they still around.

As an en plein aire artist, I know a lot of people enjoy seeing a painting in progress. The general public usually isn't sure if its okay to approach an artist or not. Will you bother them? destroy their process? ruin their work?
approach the artist from the side, stand in their peripheral vision so they can see you but don't block their view.
don't walk in front of the artist when they're painting.
if the artist ignores you, don't bother them.
if the artist looks at you and nods, then goes back to work, wait and see what happens.
Most artists that you see out painting are self employed and will be happy to talk to a potential customer about their art.
Sometimes I wish the public would see artists painting 'en plein aire' in a public place as performance art. After all, that's what it is. Nice comments are good, but how about a tip? I would like to see people develop a habit of tipping 'en plein aire' artists when they stop to watch. Just throw a buck or two in their paint box. You can be sure we'll appreciate it.
I have seen artists that make painting a picture into performance art. They're usually not painting the view, but a pre-composed painting. Its even become common for artists to paint a picture to music in a nightclub, although these paintings are almost always abstract.
This artist is incredible, he makes painting into a real performance and people pay lots of money to watch him.
Thanks for the great post! I want to encourage more artists to paint in plein air cause it's been great for me!

abstract: As computer artists, we might ask: can the computer serve as the artist or a proxy thereof? There seems no possible conclusive answer to this. Rather, we approach this question from a different angle: Why do humans make artifacts/praxis, which might be experienced by conspecifics as art (e.g. visual art, music, dance)? To investigate this subtle issue, computer technology provides an important tool for artist-engineers, namely allowing programmatic integration of audio analysis and visual graphic animation. We initially discuss the history and problems of the role of an intuitive model of cognition, in the pursuit of an automated means of the synthesis of intelligence, versus what has been learned about organic brains. This comparison, while somewhat critical of empiricism, is meant to zero in on the cognitive function of art for humans, as an evolutionary adaptation. We are thus lead to an alternative programming paradigm regarding art's very particular but crucial role for our species.

The True Cost of Compute
Today, computers are everywhere. We owe a great deal of safety, comfort and convenience to their omnipresence. They are indispensable tools that represent the pinnacle of human technological achievement, but we all make the mistake of thinking that they're impact free. Trust me, they're not. There is always a cost.
Rise of the Machines
According to Greenpeace, as of 2012 the IT sector consumed approximately 7% of global electricity - that's the same amount of electricity as the nation of Russia. The IT sector is responsible for the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as the entire air traffic industry. When did such a novel industry become so energy hungry?
Genisys
Let's take a walk down memory lane. In 2009, Google claimed it consumed about 0.0003 kWh of energy on an average search query, translating to roughly 0.2g of carbon dioxide. Google processed more than 40,000 searches from around the world every second. That's 1.2 billion searches per day, and 1.2 trillion searches per year. That's 240 million kgs of carbon dioxide, and 360 GWh of electricity every year - something like the national electricity consumption of St Lucia. Not that bad right? Well that was 2009….. Before Facebook became profitable, before IPhones outsold Nokia, before 3G adoption was mainstream and before Netflix became a thing.
10 years on and it's important to take stock of what has changed. Computers are well and truly integrated into our lives. Smartphones providers are in a technological space race, video streaming is the largest consumer of bandwidth and light bulbs can be controlled with your watch. Long story short, over the last ten years computers have slowly embedded themselves in our lives.
Skynet is Rising
More devices plus more digitization plus faster access plus more data equals more computation and more energy consumption. All elements of the data - computation - networking triangle act as drivers and enablers, resulting in a virtuous circle of exponentially digitizing economy. And this trend will accelerate as the super connectedness of our society fast eliminates the human middleman and we enter the age of Machine to Machine (M2M) communication.
The environmental footprint of our digital infrastructure went from St Lucia to Russia in 10 years. Imagine 10 more. Without sounding apocalyptic, we need a step change in the way we provision our digital infrastructure.
Our devices are merely convenient mediums through which we access the digital world. The heavy lifting is done by data centers - large energy intensive factories of data computation. Out of sight and largely out of mind for the unsuspecting public.
Don't get me wrong, they've done a fantastic job. Efficiency has improved considerably as data centers have consolidated and continue to find ways to reduce costs (including energy costs). Cloud providers have nearly tripled utilization rates. Data centers often source a significant proportion of their energy from green energy sources, and their waste heat is increasingly re-used in district heat grids. But more must be done, and the groundwork must be laid now.
Time for some good news... And no, it's not Greta Thunberg riding in as a reprogrammed T-2000, sent by the resistance in the year 2035 to safeguard mankind (although that's strangely believable). It's called Helio.
At Helio, we are working on the next generation of computing. We believe that only by drastically increasing efficiency and resource utilization can we achieve the ambitious goal of making compute sustainable and affordable. Our platform matches excess computing supply with demand, optimizing prices for consumers, and resource utilization for suppliers. There are no silver bullets to the digital revolution, but Helio gives us a fighting chance.

Q: How to match multiple words using regex ignore order but exclusive I have a variant of exact match that I'm struggling to execute using regex. I would like to match several words (e.g. Apple, Bat, Car) to a string while ignoring order and also being exclusive (i.e. ignoring cases with extra words, or too few words). For example (using the list above), I'd like the following outcomes (true/false):

*

*Bat, Car, Apple (True)

*Car, Bat, Apple (True)

*Apple, Car, Bat (True)

*Apple, Car, Bat, Stick (False)

*Bat, Car (False)

*Apple (False)

I have tried two things;
(1) lookahead assertions
^(?=.*Apple)(?=.*Bat)(?=.*Car).*

*

*Bat, Car, Apple (True)

*Car, Bat, Apple (True)

*Apple, Car, Bat (True)

*Apple, Car, Bat, Stick (True)

*Bat, Car (False)

*Apple (False)

This almost works, but allows strings with additional words (e.g. the case with "Stick"). What can I add to exclude these cases, assuming "Stick" can be any other word, and there could be multiple additional words.
(2) Following related Q/A examples on stack overflow
^(Apple|Bat|Car|[,\s])+$

*

*Bat, Car, Apple (True)

*Car, Bat, Apple (True)

*Apple, Car, Bat (True)

*Apple, Car, Bat, Stick (False)

*Bat, Car (True)

*Apple (True)
Which again almost works, but it incorrectly includes the smaller subsets.
Edit: Note, my list of words to match is just an example, it will be variable and can be any number of words.

A: Firstly - this is quite a stretched usage of regex, you may be better off using other string functions (depending on language)
Regex: ^(apple|bat|car), (?!\1)(apple|bat|car), (?!\1|\2)(apple|bat|car)$
demo: https://regex101.com/r/Yc8CVj/2
very rough human translation: at the start of line, capture either word, see if next word is different and capture it if it is either of the other two, and then see if last word is the one left and the line ends after it
Features

*

*prevents duplicates (apple, apple, car)

*(according to demo) around 30 steps for match

A: An idea is to just check for exactly three words after the lookaheads:
^(?=.*?\bApple\b)(?=.*?\bBat\b)(?=.*?\bCar\b)\w+(?:, ?\w+){2}$

See this demo at regex101 - I further added \b word boundaries around the words.
\w matches word characters, used , ? comma and optional space between words.

Another variant by capturing and failing if the same word is ahead:
^(?:\b(?:, ?)?(Apple|Bat|Car)\b(?!.*?\b\1\b)){3}$

Regex101 demo - The optional separator depends on \b in this one.

A: Try:
(?=.*Apple)(?=.*Car)(?=.*Bat)(?!.*(?:,|^)(?:(?!Apple|Bat|Car).)+(?:,|$))^.*$

Regex demo.

(?=.*Apple)(?=.*Car)(?=.*Bat) - we want to match line where Apple, Car and Bat is found
(?!.*(?:,|^)(?:(?!Apple|Bat|Car).)+(?:,|$)) - we don't want to match line where other word is found. Word is between commas ,, and/or start/end line
^.*$ - we want to match the whole line

EDIT: Regex with word boundaries \b (to not match Cartography for example):
(?=.*\bApple\b)(?=.*\bCar\b)(?=.*\bBat\b)(?!.*(?:,|^)(?:(?!\b(?:Apple|Bat|Car)\b).)+(?:,|$))^.*$

Statistics Netherlands exploring indicators for Sustainable Development Goals
At the end of September 2015, 193 heads of state reached an agreement on an agenda for 2030 in the context of sustainable development, signing up to an ambitious set of objectives: the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals. These goals apply to the period 2015-2030. All UN member states have committed themselves to contribute to the realisation of the goals formulated on welfare, security and justice. A key question is how to monitor whether countries are on the right track to achieve these goals. National statistical offices play an important part in this area. Hermanus Rietveld, coordinator of SDG activities at Statistics Netherlands (CBS), elaborates on the current state of affairs.
International benchmark
SDGs are the new international benchmark for sustainable development in 193 countries. The core of the '2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development' of the United Nations consists of 17 SDGs including 169 targets. Rietveld: "The 17 goals build on the Millennium Development Goals. Thanks to these goals, a lot has been achieved, but the monitoring was considered inadequate. The governments of the UN member states are primarily responsible for the implementation and monitoring of SDGs. It was agreed that the data will be compiled by the national statistical offices."
How exactly are the 17 goals and 169 targets going to be monitored? Rietveld: "The monitoring will be done by means of internationally agreed statistical indicators. In the past two years, a preliminary list of indicators was drawn up by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal indicators, which operates under a UN mandate. CBS participates in this worldwide Group as one of four European statistical offices. The other three countries are Germany, Italy and Sweden. In April 2016, CBS investigated which of the proposed indicators are already available for the Netherlands and which would have to be developed. As it turned out, 37 percent of indicators are currently available for the Netherlands. That might seem like a small percentage, but scores for other developed countries such as Germany and the US are similar. The percentages for developing countries are often lower."
In addition to checking the availability of SDG-indicators, CBS has to estimate the capacity needed to compile additional indicators. "The monitoring of SDGs is a major challenge, not only for CBS but also for other national statistical offices. It requires a lot of extra effort but also provides opportunities for additional funding." When does Rietveld expect the first results on SDGs to be published by CBS? "A CBS publication concerning an initial exploration in the SDG field is scheduled for November 2016. This publication could signal the start of a broad national discussion on measuring progress in the Netherlands with respect to the Global Goals, involving stakeholders like government planning agencies, research institutes and civil society."
In developing countries, it is often difficult to collect adequate statistical information and this certainly applies to the new SDG indicators. Organisations like the UN and the World Bank call on the international community to help establish new information flows. They have high expectations of the 'data revolution', the use of big data sources and new observation tools including sensors and mobile devices. It is hoped that large multinational enterprises and advanced research institutes are willing to contribute, in addition to national statistical offices such as CBS. Last year, the World Bank paid a study visit to CBS and explicitly called upon the office to make available their knowledge and experience. CBS is currently examining how and with which partners meaningful contributions can be realised. This is expected to lead to fruitful cooperation, provided sufficient funding can be secured.

China invites Vatican to have pavilion at Beijing garden expo
Accepting an invitation from the Chinese government, the Holy See is one of a number of nations and organisations participating in an international garden expo in Beijing.
Though the expo's focus is on flowers, horticulture and the environment, the Vatican's presence will be "one step further" on a journey of dialogue between the Vatican and China, Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, told reporters at a news conference.
While high-level talks and agreements between the two countries, which do not have formal diplomatic relations, are "delicate" and ongoing, taking part in the April 29th-October 7th expo and other cultural exchanges have the important task of creating "an atmosphere" that facilitates dialogue, he said.
The cardinal unveiled details at the news conference of the Vatican's participation in the Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition, which was to feature dozens of gardens and exhibitions centred on the theme of "Live Green, Live Better."
He said the Chinese government invited the Vatican to have its own pavilion at the expo, and with permission from the Vatican Secretary of State, the council for culture was put in charge of co-ordinating the effort.
Despite the lack of formal diplomatic channels, they were still able to work directly with Chinese officials and to rely on third-party countries like Italy and the Netherlands for assistance from their embassy staff, the cardinal said.
At 200 square metres (2,153 square feet), the Holy See pavilion will feature flooring that replicates the marble and cobblestone compass in the middle of St Peter's Square called "The Wind Rose," marking the different compass points and wind directions.
There will be a fountain, a greenhouse equipped with lights that accelerate plant growth, orchids donated by the Dutch government, two manuscripts from the Vatican Library illustrating medicinal uses of plants and herbs, and a large photographic replica of the early 19th-century painting, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, by the Flemish artist Peter Wenzel.
Cardinal Ravasi said when they enlarged an image of the painting for the replica, they found that among the more than 200 animals in the scene, a tiny bird had been drawn, but left unfinished. They planned on letting kids look for, like a treasure hunt, the incomplete creature and ask them to submit their own coloured version of the bird for a contest.
With its pavilion, the Vatican also hopes to promote Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home, he said.
He said the total cost for the pavilion project was under €1 million, which, he said, represents "a minimal investment with a very significant outcome" for the Chinese people and for the Holy See.

Q: bash: how do I parse the results of one command to use as match for another command The intention of my script is to look for the usb printer and make sure the properties file is populated according to what's connected.
What I'm currently doing is:
ls -l /dev/usb | grep 'lp'

returns something like:
crw-rw---- 1 root lp   180, 1 Aug  5 11:32 lp1
crw-rw---- 1 root lp   180, 2 Aug  5 11:32 lp2

which I'd like to take the lp1 and lp2 values, and check my pos.properties file:
machine.printer=epson\:file,/dev/usb/lp2
machine.printer.3=epson\:file,/dev/usb/lp4
machine.printer.2=epson\:file,/dev/usb/lp1

for the strings '/dev/usb/lp1', '/dev/usb/lp2'. If both match, output 'OK, otherwise, output missing printer(s)

A: ok=1
for printer in /dev/usb/lp*; do
    if ! grep -wq "$printer" pos.properties; then
        ok=0
        echo "Missing $printer"
        break
    fi
done
(( ok )) && echo "OK"

Depending on the format of pos.properties, you may need a more specific command, for example,
if ! grep -wq "$printer" <(cut -d, -f2 pos.properties); then

A: You can use this script:
cd /dev/usb/
arr=(lp*)

[[ $(grep -cFf <(printf "/dev/usb/%s\n" "${arr[@]}") pos.properties) -eq ${#arr[@]} ]] &&
    echo "OK" || echo "missing printer(s)"

Tippy seeks a goal run
SILKMEN hot-shot Matthew Tipton says he wants to break the 20-goal mark this season - and blast Macclesfield Town to safety in Division Three.
In a struggling Macc side, the former Welsh under-21 international has already bagged 16 goals so far this season, beating his previous best of 14 achieved during the last campaign.
Now, he wants four more goals to break the magical 20 mark, and force the issue of his expiring contract to the fore with the club.
He told Express Sport: "Obviously the more goals I score, the better chance I have of finding a club if Macc don't offer me a contract, or if the worst happens and we get relegated."
"I haven't received any offers so far, but the way football is at the moment, I think a lot of clubs are just hanging around until the summer to find out who's available."
"I think I can get to 20 goals and hopefully see Macc away from trouble, then we can start worrying about contracts."
The former Oldham Athletic man wants to emulate the likes of ex-Huddersfield Town striker Jon Stead - who had fired over 20 goals this season in Division Three before being snapped up by Blackburn Rovers for £1.2m.
Bangor-born Tipton also has ambitions to spark his international career back to life, but knows he has a long way to go before he can consider rubbing shoulders with compatriots such as Rob Earnshaw, John Hartson and Ryan Giggs.
"I think I could step up a level or two, hopefully that could bring international honours with it."
"All I can do is continue to score goals and keep trying my best at Macc."
Now playing as part of a front three, Tipton admits it doesn't suit his style of play. But that hasn't stopped him scoring three goals in his last three games.
He said: "If I'm honest, I prefer playing in a 4-4-2, but you can't argue with the fact that the team have been playing better."
"When we play 4-3-3, everyone seems to know their job and we seem to defend better all over the pitch."
"After Saturday's game we were disappointed but the mood is still good."
"As John (Askey) said after the game, we are not going to win every game."
"We need four more wins out of the next eight - and whether that comes in the next four matches or not, we want to reach that 50 point mark as quickly as possible. It's a cliche, I know, but we have to take every game as it comes."
"The York and Rochdale games and Scunthorpe away are probably our best chance."
"With Hull and Oxford at home, nobody expects us to get anything out of them, but you never know."

Discussion in 'Aquarium Stocking Questions' started by fishy1234, Apr 17, 2017.
About a year ago I got a 29 gallon tank. All of the fish were doing great. This is, until I got a bristlenose pleco. Apparently my water was too alkaline for it so it died pretty quickly. It died overnight so I couldn't remove the body for a while. This created an ammonia spike and a chain reaction of fish dying. I left the tank alone for a while without any fish, with it gathering algae. Recently, I cleaned out all of the algae, added lots of new plants, and did a 95% water change.
A FugeRay Planted + will be arriving on Thrusday. I have flourite with a 1/2" thick layer of black sand over it as substrate. Will my tank be able to grow the micro sword plants that I just got? If not, what would be the best foreground carpet plant?
Water hardness: 13, according to my water softener.
Is there a way I can prevent a killing like what happened before?
Sorry for overloading you with my insane amounts of questions.
I don't know about the stocking but I wouldn't add fish until you're cycled again,the reason I say this is that the fact that your numbers are 0 across the board means you're not cycled but as to the fish you want to get you should talk to @TexasDomer she's the stocking Queen here on fishlore.
I'd wait on stocking too, but I'll give you some suggestions to ponder. Tetra wise, I know they're a little bit larger but I would recommend Colombian Tetras to anyone, I love my school. I've had them for two years. If you don't want to deal with fry, I wouldn't do kribs. I'm personally drawn to apistos, and there is a fish called a Bolivian Ram, similar to the GBR but is less fragile. Hope you got some good ideas from this!
Alkalinity shouldn't have killed the BN pleco. I'm wondering if something else caused the death.
You won't be able to get a true foreground carpet, as the majority of carpeting plants require injected CO2 and high light. However, micro sword will spread. Something dwarf sag (spread through runners) or S. repens (you trim and plant the tops) will also create the carpet look.
How did you cycle the tank?
Most of those would work. I'd stay away from the threadfins as they won't compete well with the platies, and the rummynose don't have much temp overlap with platies, but the others should be fine.
Cories should be in larger groups - I'd do 8-12x, depending on what species you choose.
GBRs aren't temp compatible, so they're out, but Apistos or Bolivian rams would work. I'd stay away from kribs if you have cories - kribs can get very aggressive when breeding.
See responses in green above.
Your tank isn't cycled if you have zero nitrates, so I'd wait until your tank is cycled before you add fish. Do you know about the nitrogen cycle?
If you wanted one of the other fish (gobies, killifish, etc.) I think you'd need to change your general stocking plan.
I did a fish-in-cycle (I'm sorry, I didn't know not to when the LFS told me to) with the platies. I don't think it's done cycling yet. Also, I'm not planning to add any more fish for at least a month. I'd just like to have a plan.
Personally, I'd prefer to have more of a variety of fish with smaller amounts of each species rather than lots of a couple types. If that isn't possible though, I'll do something along the lines of what's listed above. Also, my platies are actually pretty shy and I can barely feed them without scaring them as is (any advise?), so I doubt that they would be much of a problem for the threadfin rainbows (which I like a lot). If the kribs and GBRs wouldn't work, what kind of apisto would you reccomend that is cool looking and interesting to watch?
Thanks, and sorry if I sound like I don't know anything about this.
Fish in cycling isn't necessarily bad if you do it responsibly and keep your fish safe!
Unfortunately, that's not how most fish would prefer to be kept. Schooling fish should be in larger groups.
And the platies will become more bold. Threadfin rainbows are delicate and even more shy, and really won't do well competing against platies. If you want them, I would take the platies out.
A. borelli or A. cacatuoides would be cool!
Would this socking work below? Just a reminder, I already have 3 platies, I want to get one more, and I won't anymore fish for a while and I won't get all these fish at once.
- 2 (pair) of some species of dwarf cichlid like bolivian ram, apisto, etc.
I could could just get the cherry barbs or a gourami I would probably chose the gourami. I also would like some sort of algae eater if possible. Would you recommend a bristlenose pleco, a bulldog pleco, a group of otos, some snails, or some shrimp? I don't really a bad algae problem, I just like algae eaters and they seem to help prevent any issues.
Would that be too much or is that OK? Thanks!
I would go with neons, not cardinals. And maybe 8-10 of those and 8 cherry barbs?
A single pair of dwarf cichlids should be fine!
I would go with 8 false juliis, not 6.
And I'd leave out the warmer water pearl gourami. Add a DG last, if you think there's room after adding all of the other fish.
Kribs are pretty hardy, ime.
I wouldn't do a pair of cichlids, it's better to do a single in this size tank, if they breed.
I still think you'd be fine with a pair if you chose one of the more peaceful species (rams, Apistos). Bolivian rams don't seem to breed in most tanks anyway.
Thanks for all your help! I've decided that I don't really want the cherry barbs anyway.
Just out of curiosity, would there be any other bottom dwelling fish like zebra loaches, bn pleco, etc that would work in my tank instead than just the usual cories? I really like corydoras, I'm just wondering.
If you do cardinal tetras instead of neons, you could do kuhli loaches on the bottom instead of cories.
You can do kuhlis now, without switching to cardinals. Kuhlis are temp compatible with neons.
Hmm, one where FishBase and Seriously Fish don't agree... one says 75-86 for kuhlis, one says 70-79.
I'd say both fit, since they are found all over Asia. They are very widespread. I think the temp ranges are different because they are based on different regions.
My LFS doesn't seem to have any "pairs" of anything. In fact, my LFS only has male apistos. So instead of doing a pair of dwarf cichlids, could I do a single dwarf cichlid like a cockatoo cichlid or a kribensis? Or maybe two males?
You could do a single male? I would not do two males of most any species in this size tank.

Japan stun Spain to reach last 16 of World Cup and eliminate Germany
Japan's Ritsu Doan celebrates his equaliser in their stunning 2-1 win over Spain in Group E. Picture: STUFF SPORTS.
Same stadium. Same result. Similar shocking victory for Japan at the World Cup.
After beating Germany 2-1 in their opener, Japan found their way into the round of 16 of the World Cup by defeating Spain by the same score in their last group game on Thursday (Friday NZT).
Spain also advanced despite the loss.
Japan scored twice early in the second half to come from behind and defeat another European powerhouse and make it to the knockout stage for the second straight time.
It was the first time Japan have advanced past the group stage in back-to-back tournaments.
Ao Tanaka scored the winning goal from close range early in the second half.
It took about two minutes for video review officials to confirm the ball hadn't gone out of bounds before the goal that gave Japan the win at Khalifa International Stadium, which is where Japan had shocked Germany in its opener.
Japan finished at the top of Group E to set up a last-16 matchup against Croatia. Spain finished second and will take on Morocco.
Spain and Germany – who beat Costa Rica 4-2 – both had three points in the group. But Spain had a superior goal difference from their first group match so Germany was eliminated.
The group standings bounced back and forth during both matches. Costa Rica were beating Germany at one point. If that result had stood, Costa Rica would have eliminated Spain.
Álvaro Morata scored first for Spain in the 11th minute and Spain were in control until Japan rallied after halftime. Ritsu Doan equalised in the 48th minute with a left-footed shot from outside the box, and Tanaka added the second three minutes later.
Morata became the first player to score in the first three Spain matches at the World Cup since Telmo Zarra in 1950.
Spain had opened with a 7-0 rout of Costa Rica before conceding late in a 1-1 draw against Germany.
Japan were eliminated by Belgium in the last 16 in Russia. The Samuari Blue have never gone past the round of 16 at World Cups.
