Iowa State University astrophysicists are part of an international team that unexpectedly discovered very-high-energy gamma rays from the already well-known Crab pulsar star.
The team's findings are published in the Oct. 7 issue of the journal Science.
"This is the first time very-high-energy gamma rays have been detected from a pulsar - a rapidly spinning neutron star about the size of the city of Ames but with a mass greater than that of the sun," said Frank Krennrich, an Iowa State professor of physics and astronomy and a co-author of the paper.
The discovery was the work of three post-doctoral researchers – including Martin Schroedter, who left Iowa State last year for a position at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory near Amado, Ariz.
The researchers' finding was a surprise, said Amanda Weinstein, an Iowa State assistant professor of physics and astronomy. Astrophysicists started looking for very-high-energy gamma rays from the Crab pulsar decades ago and had never found them with energies greater than 25 billion electron volts.
This time, using the $20 million Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) in southern Arizona, the researchers discovered pulsed gamma rays from the Crab pulsar that exceeded energies of 100 billion electron volts.
Krennrich said such high energies can't be explained by the current understanding of pulsars.
Pulsars are compact neutron stars that spin rapidly and have a very strong magnetic field, Krennrich said. The spin and magnetism pull electrons from the star and accelerate them along magnetic field lines, creating narrow bands of "curvature radiation."
Krennrich and Weinstein said curvature radiation doesn't explain the very-high-energy gamma rays reported in the Science paper. And so astrophysicists need to develop new ideas about pulsars and how they create gamma rays.
Gamma rays are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. They have energies of one million to several trillion electron volts; the energy of visible light is one electron volt.
Even with their very high energies, gamma rays can't penetrate the earth's atmosphere. When they hit the atmosphere, they create showers of electrons and positrons that create a blue light known as Cerenkov radiation. Those showers move very fast. And they're not very bright.
And so it takes a very sensitive instrument such as VERITAS to detect those rays. VERITAS features four, 12-meter reflector dishes covered with 350 mirrors. All those mirrors direct light into cameras mounted in front of each dish. Each camera is about 7 feet across and contains 499 tube-shaped photon detectors or pixels.
All those detectors were built in a laboratory on the fourth floor of Iowa State's Zaffarano Physics Addition. The assembly took about $1 million and a lot of work by a team of Iowa State researchers.
Weinstein, then working as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, helped design and build the VERITAS array trigger. The trigger is an electronics system that works in real-time to determine which telescope observations contain useful data that should be recorded for analysis.
Researchers believe a better understanding of gamma rays could help them explore distant regions of space, help them look for evidence of dark matter, determine how much electromagnetic radiation the universe has produced, answer questions about the formation of stars and help explain the origins of the most energetic radiation in the universe.
The three lead authors of the Science paper are Schroedter; Andrew McCann of McGill University in Montreal; and Nepomuk Otte of the University of California, Santa Cruz and now at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Iowa State co-authors are Krennrich; Weinstein; Matthew Orr, a post-doctoral research associate in physics and astronomy; Arun Madhavan, a doctoral student in physics and astronomy; and Asif Imran, a former Iowa State doctoral student who's now at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
The research project was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, the National Science Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Sciences and Energy Research Council of Canada, Science Foundation Ireland, and the Science and Technology Facilities Council in the United Kingdom.
There's more than a gamma-ray discovery in this particular research paper, Weinstein said. There's also a lesson about scientific discovery.
"Because this was something people didn't expect, it took courage to pursue this study," she said. "The lesson is you keep making your instruments better and you keep looking."

Stargate: Beginnings - SHOULD I CONTINUE?
Location: Second Star on the right, and straight on til' morning...
Ok, here's the deal. I'm laid up for 3 months with a broken heel. No walking. So, let's catch up on dvds. I was thinking of watching a series I haven't seen, and Farscape and Stargate were on that list.
Background: I liked STTNG thru season 6, loved Babylon 5, liked Deep Space 9, watched Voyager until Janeway and the other guy turned into slugs and mated, and haven't gotten into Enterprise.
My nephew had the first three seasons of Stargate, so that made it my default choice. "Great series," he said, but now I'm beginning to wonder, and thought I'd both review the series from a newbie standpoint (I haven't even seen the movie), and get some thoughts from this crowd on whether I should keep going or abandon this.
I looked in recent threads, and people do NOT seem to like the cuurent (season 7?) stuff, so that also makes me wonder.
First thoughts coming up.

The current season has certainly had several stinkers, the last two being the best examples.
Pilot Episode: Ok, decent start for a tv series. Acceptable premise, looks like a good idea potential. A little sappy on relationships, but that may come from following up on the movie.
Episode 1: Now this one made me think - I'm going to like this. Tough issue, tough resolution. Can possibly save their friends who are possessed, but it ain't gonna be easy. Didn't even use the stargate (in the normal way). Just plain good.
Ok - downhill ever since. I've watched Episode 2,4,5,6 --- I take it there is not an episode 3?????? There wasn't on the discs I borrowed.
We're into the "primitive society of the week" syndrome - jump in, check out the primitive civilization, find out what they are doing wrong, come up with some basic conflict, and solve it, making everyone happy happy joy joy.
In fact, basically, these 4 were the same episode, just done 4 times. #2 - women's rights, #4 - medicines "the touched", #5 - bad worshipping, #6 - bad worshipping combined with Star Trek's The Deadly Years...
#5 - "The First Commandment" was ESPECIALLY stinky - I could hardly get through that one. Talk about plot holes!
And speaking of plot holes - boy, they refuse to carry out orders just about every sentence, don't they? And for being a "woman warrior", wasn't Sam really a wimp in that gun usage or lack thereof with her former fiance? And geez - they sure don't use home base - giving birth - noone willing to jump back and grab someone to help? And really geez - in the "god episode" - no one even willing to give a status report back to base?
This is getting pretty bad. Is it going to improve, or should I toss these discs back to my nephew and try something different?
I mean, I can't do much right now, but there has to be better things to watch than these last 4 episodes especially.
It's a good thing they had episode 1 "The Enemy Within" - without that, I probably would have given up already and not even ask here.

Farscape is one of the best TV shows in history, in my opinion. Given your tastes (and the fact that you'll be able to sit down, concentrate, and watch all of them in order with no distractions)... I think that's probably the perfect show for you.
I've always considered Stargate to be simply 'OK'. I've seen the entire first season, and bits+pieces of the second. It's an interesting concept that never fully reaches it's potential. It's watchable, but not great.
Of course, it sounds like it's going to be easier for you to access Stargate, so that'll probably be a pretty big factor in your decision.

i've got the movie coming from netflix - will that help or hurt my enjoyment level?
nny
I've never seen Stargate, but considering you have netflix and a lot of time on your hands, maybe you should try some better shows. I don't know what you already watch, but you might want to go through das's top 50 episodes and rent some of the dvds from those series. And that does include Farscape. If you want sci-fi, that's definitely your best choice.

My opinion? The movie was awful. I really disliked it.
It probably won't have any impact on your enjoyment level one way or the other... they covered most of the movie events via dialog in the first episode of the series, and then went off in their own direction.
In keeping with nny's comments, I would fill up my Netflix queue with Farscape DVDs (and Sports Night, and Buffy, and The Prisoner, and...) I wouldn't bother wasting any more time with Stargate. At its best, it's still a mediocre program.

Stargate SG-1's main charms are in the "team rapport" and in the way the episodes build on each other history-wise over the long haul...
Several of those "primative societies of the week" could be revisited or referred to again in the series, or could eventually become surprisingly important...
It's not a clear, planned arc, like B5... But should definitely be seen in order... It's more like DS9 structurally, where they aren't afraid to assume you know the history, and often change the meaning of something that happened earlier... As the seasons progress, the backstory gets fairly complex.
The plotting and writing of individual shows can be good or bad...
I like the show better than many around here... but then, I like action-adventure-hero shows Hercules and Highlander... I key off the characters as often as the plots, and don't always need "good" sci-fi... I find the series much better, on the whole, than the movie that spawned it...

I really love the show for it's entertainment value. I just love B5, Buffy, Farscape, etc in a different way. They required more thought. SG-1 is really easy to watch and you don't have to think too hard. :-)
I love Stargate because it's funny. It's a comedy in scifi clothing. It's meant to be both drama-ish and humourous at the same time. I can re-watch the same eps and notice something new and still laugh at the same lines.
It does get better in later seasons although 7 isn't great so far.
There is minor arcing going on with some things revisited at a much later ep, but other times they seem to forget things they already learned which can get annoying.

Come on, Seeker ... get off this crap. Nothing against SG-1, but as others have noted, it's just "OK." It's nice, light fare with entertaining characters and average stories, but if you're stuck for a long time and looking for great quality, SG-1's just not going to do it for you. adamblast's comparison to Hercules and Highlander is a pretty good one. I enjoy both of these shows quite a bit, but the gap in quality from the creme of the crop is sizeable. I could watch an episode a week or something, but much more than that is just too much.
I'll echo the other comments: Farscape, Buffy, The Prisoner, Sports Night (don't know how that slipped into the sci-fi discussion, but the show is excellent) are better shows and are probably much more worthy of your dedicated viewing.

I find SG-1 to be pretty entertaining. I think you'd be okay with either one.

Which is exactly why I made it clear how little of the show I had watched.
But, taken into context with the other reviews in this thread, it certainly doesn't sound like I made the wrong decision by bailing out of the show when I did. The vast majority of comments seem to be of the "OK/not great" variety... which matches my impressions from the 30 or so episodes I did sit through.
Sounds like I should start renting Farscape.
I have never even HEARD of Sports Night....
As for Stargate - I went back to my nephew, and he said "have patience, keep watching" - but I told him the last four episodes hadn't been worth watching, especially "The First Commandment". He agreed to give me a priority list, which I'll list below.
since I have them all anyway, for free, I'll probably keep watching since I have to have patience between the netflix ones anyway.
So, for your edification, here is HIS list of what I must see and skip. Given how bad I felt the last 4 were, (Emancipation thru Brief Candle), I will probably skip without guilt the bottom two categories.
Must see:
Children of the Gods
Cold Lazarus
The Torment of Tantalus
The Nox
Within the Serpent's Grasp
Important for Plot Purposes:
Thor's Hammer
There but for the Grace of God
Meh:
The Broca Divide
Brief Candle
Skip, for the love of God, skip!:
The First Commandment
Cor-Ai
The Serpent's Lair
The Fifth Race
Thor's Chariot
The Tok'ra (parts one and two)
Serpent's Song
The Gamekeeper
A Matter of Time (note: semi-important to one plot episode in Season 4)
One False Step
Jolinar's Memories (only because it's part one for "The Devil You Know")
Urgo (very silly, but very enjoyable)
Seth (barely. Closer to a "Meh")
Fair Game (almost a must see, but a little weak)
Forever in a Day (you may like this more than I did. It's a lot like the episode where Picard lives a lifetime in a day)
Pretense
Maternal Instinct
Past and Present (if you liked "Prisoners", watch this)
A Hundred Days
New Ground
Crystal Skull (quite good, IMO, but completely unimportant to the plot and not quite must see)
Deadman Switch (some Tok'ra/Sokar plot, but very little)
Here's my "Skip, for the love of God, skip" list for Farscape:
Ok, I'll be sure to skip the episode called "das"
• Quoth Seeker •
Ok, I'll be sure to skip the episode called "das"

It's a real stinker to be sure.
Seeker,
I can't recall all the Stargates from their names, but the ones I do recognize from the names I agree with the categories they were put in. Except I enjoyed 1969 but it isn't important , just a fun episode IMO.
turborobb
I love Stargate SG1, it's one of my favorites, I'm watching the 3rd season now on DVD... like any series the first half of the first season has some pretty pointless episodes, the show is tring to find itself. I think the same can be said of Farscape and Buffy... there are early episodes of Farscape that made me want to give up that series as well, but I'm glad I stuck with it, because, like Stargate, at the end of Season 1 of Farscape I was hooked!
please DO NOT skip around and skip over episodes. stick with it, the final part of Season 1 is sci fi TV goodness at it's best. Season 2 is really great as well.
I really like series with an ongoing storyline, rather than shows like Star Trek TNG where it's the adventure of the week and if you miss an episode it doesn't matter.

Fill Valves - Various fill valves ranging from Bottom Entry to Side Entry and Brass Shank or Adjustable.
Fill valves for every cistern configuration, Side entry and Bottom entry.
A toilet fill valve is the new name for your old ball valve. If you have an old toilet you probably have a plastic ball float on a lever arm, which, as the water rises, reaches a certain point and then closes off the valve.
These aren't efficient, and are prone to corrosion and breaking.
The new toilet fill valves operate vertically which makes them much more efficient and sturdy, and they are fully adjustable depending on how much water you want to fill your cistern. Great for cost-efficiency and water conservation.
Take a look at the different products below to see which one will work best in your cistern.

Q: How many arrangements of GRACEFUL... How many arrangements of GRACEFUL have no pair of consecutive vowels?
Soln:
Breaking up the question into pieces:
First I found the total amount of arrangememts possible with GRACEFUL:  $$8!$$
Next I went about finding all the possible arrangements with consecutive vowels:  Letting V'= double vowel and V = single vowel I am left with the string:
                   "VV'GRCFL"

This could be arramged in $$(7!)(3)(2)$$ types of ways.
Therefore to find arrangements with no consecutive vowels: $$8! - (7!)(3)(2)$$ Where 3 was for the ways the single vowel could be chosen and 2 was for the possible arrangements of the double vowel
Initially I had split the consecutive vowels into a set of 3 and the sets of doubles,  but I realized I could count all arramgements together.  I feel there may be an easier way using the method I applied which was with some assistance from the text.
Did I approach correctly?  Ways to improve?
Edit: The solution by N.F Taussig is a very well written explanation that really provides a visual of what I did wrong and would serve as a guide for others

A: Your answer is incorrect because you excluded those arrangements in which all three vowels are consecutive twice.
Method 1: Placing vowels in the spaces between consonants or at the ends.
We can arrange the five distinct consonants in $5!$ ways.  For a particular arrangement of the consonants, we have six spaces in which to place to the vowels (four between successive consonants and the two ends of the row).  Therefore, we can place the A in six ways, the E in five ways, and the U in four ways.  Hence, the number of permutations in which no pair of vowels is consecutive is $$5! \cdot 6 \cdot 5 \cdot 4$$
Method 2:  We correct your attempt by using the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle.
As you found, there are $8!$ ways to arrange the letters of the word GRACEFUL.  From these, we must exclude those arrangements in which at least two vowels are consecutive.
Suppose that two vowels are consecutive.  Then we have seven objects to arrange, the five consonants, the double vowel, and the single vowel.  There are $\binom{3}{2}$ ways of choosing two of the three vowels to be in the double vowel and $2!$ ways of arranging the chosen vowels within the double vowel.  Since there are $7!$ ways of arranging seven distinct objects, there are $$\binom{3}{2} \cdot 2! \cdot 7! = 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 7! = 6 \cdot 7!$$
arrangements with at least two distinct vowels, which you correctly calculated.
However, if we exclude arrangements with at least two consecutive vowels, we have excluded arrangements with three consecutive vowels twice, once when we exclude the first two of the three consecutive vowels and once when we exclude the last two of the three consecutive vowels.  Since we only want to exclude arrangements with three consecutive vowels once, we must add the number of arrangements with three consecutive vowels.
Suppose that three vowels are consecutive.  Then we have six distinct objects to arrange, the five consonants and the block of three vowels.  The block of three distinct vowels can be arranged internally in $3!$ ways.  The six objects can be arranged in $6!$ ways.  Hence, the number of arrangements in which three vowels are consecutive is $$3!6!$$
By the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle, the number of arrangements of the letters of the word GRACEFUL in which no two letters are consecutive is $$8! - 6 \cdot 7! + 3!6!$$

A: Total ways are $8!$ now consider A,E as a block so total ways become $(1+6)! \cdot 2!=10080$ same logic goes for  A,U and E,U so total ways are $8!-[(3 \cdot 7!) \cdot 2!)]=40320-30240=10080$ so total ways are $10080$ . now let us three different vowels as a block so it becomes $(1+5)!.3!=4320$ so total ways become $10800+4320=14400$

Q: _main already defined in file.obj I am reading a book which teaches assembly using MASM via Visual C++ Express.
The book gives the following example program to test that masm is working
    .386
    .model flat, c
    .stack 100h
printf PROTO arg1:Ptr Byte, printlist:VARARG
    .data
msg1fmt byte "%s%d",0Ah,0
msg1 byte "The answer is: ",0
num1 sdword ?
num2 sdword ?
    .code
main proc
    mov num1,5
    mov eax,num1
    mov num2,eax
    INVOKE printf, ADDR msg1fmt, ADDR msg1, num2
    ret
main endp
    end

I then get the error error LNK2005: _main already defined in asm.obj
I am using the sample assembly program from my book so hopefully it is not in error. The error I get seems to have something to do with main being listed twice, but I'm unsure how to resolve it.

A: It is not unheard of at all for programming examples in books to be in error.
Note that the error you're getting is from the linker, not the assembler. The fact you're getting that far already shows that the assembler is happy with your file, and indeed your assembly file defines main only once.
I'm not familiar with the MS development tools, especially not ones from the last decade and a half, but I imagine that either you have added a C or C++ module to your project that defines main() as a function in that language, or that the IDE is "helpfully" providing a default definition. It is this second definition of main that the linker is unhappy about.
(The underscore in symbol in the linker's error message is just an artifact of how you do things on that platform - all HLL symbols get prefixed by an underscore. I note you have .model flat, c - that may be telling MASM to prefix symbols despite assembly not being a high-level language.)
You could try looking for the definition of main() in the C-land part of your project and simply deleting it or omitting it from the project, if you can find it. Failing that, rename your assembly function to, say, asm_main, and then calling that from C-land:
int main() {
  return asm_main();
}

(This is just to get you going; if you want to get hold of argc et al, you'll need to get more creative.)


In R.E. today we have been learning about Lent. We found out that Pancake Day is also called Shrove Tuesday. Did you know that Shrove Tuesday is always the Tuesday before Lent begins. We now know that Lent is a time when Christians are getting ready for Easter. We enjoyed yummy pancakes for our snack time and had fun running pancake races!
Fee Fie Foe Fum we are having so much fun! Catch up on our first few weeks back in EYFS. We have been learning all about Jack and the Beanstalk. We have sequenced the story, described the giant, planted magic beans in our individual greenhouses, and made new clothes for the giant using repeating patterns. We built castles in the sky, collaged beanstalks and measured the giant and ourselves! We have measured a range of objects using non-standard units including measuring with the giant's smelly feet! We have ordered numbers and matched quantities of magic beans to the correct numerals as well as learning how to decompose numbers to ten. In funky fingers we have threaded golden harps and counted out quantities of beans using giant tweezers. In RE we have been thinking about the creation story and enjoyed a nature walk around the school grounds taking in the awe and wonder of God's creation. We are enjoying our PE this term as we are now using the big apparatus! Please find our fantastic photos by clicking the gallery above and click on Fee Fie Foe Fum EYFS Fun!


We chat with Canadian punker guitarist Philippe Charbonneau about this newest song and its insanely intense music video.
Scattered Clouds' newest song "Justice" will make your stomach drop, but you won't be able to look away.
Inspired by the 2016 death of Abdirahman Abdi at the hands of Ottawa, Canada police, "Justice" feels like panic. The fuzzed guitar, echoing vocals and heart-dropping beats are paired with intense imagery of flying creatures with tentacles for heads or slivering arms punching away to threatening strobe. This song will make you feel vulnerable and helpless all in one, an effect that's very deliberate.
Read the entire interview below and be the first to watch the video for "Justice" (animated by Joel Vaudreuil) below.
BTRtoday (BTR): Let's just go straight into talking about this video 'cause I love it so much—what's the overall concept behind it?
Philippe Charbonneau (PC): "Justice" is a minimalist and abstract interpretation of the abuse of power rampant in the police force. It depicts this monstrous figure that symbolizes how some communities have come to fear the ones that should be there to serve and protect.
BTR: Who did the animation?
PC: Joel Vaudreuil. He's a super talented Canadian animator and musician from Montréal, Québec. His francophone projects "Le diable (comme l'outil)" and "Avec pas d'casque" are both most definitely worth a listen.
BTR: Was there an idea that sparked the making of this video?
PC: The lyrics speak for themselves and we trusted Joel to interpret them in a visual medium. We've been mutual admirers of each others for some time so when the opportunity came to get some accompanying visuals to 'Justice', collaborating with Joel made perfect sense. With his approach he was able to capture the industrial rawness of the track.
BTR: Tell me about the song "Justice." What was writing it like?
PC: The writing process for most of our tracks always takes unexpected turns. We always try to pay very close attention to mistakes while jamming or in the studio because most of the times mistakes offer us a window of new ideas that otherwise would have never been explored in a rigid creative process.
In the case of "Justice," we wrote a super loose home demo with a drum machine and analog synths. Initially, it sounded like a Cold Wave track from the early '80s. We then brought it to our practice space and Michael John Dubue, who co-produced our record, picked up the electric bass and plugged it in a Fairfield Circuitry Unpleasant Fuzz pedal—it's this out-of-control fuzz [pedal] that's made locally here in Hull, and it's undoubtedly the signature sound of this track. Unlike a lot of our songs that are very produced, this one was recorded live off the floor with only vocal overdubs.
We wanted it to be raw and very punk.
BTR: Are there any personal real-life influences that went into this song?
PC: While the stories are based on true events, they are fictional. We like to tell stories and talk about political and social issues through the lens of fictional characters. In "Justice" the narrator addresses a murderous vigilante character that is being persecuted by the people that used to look up to him as a hero. It's an allusion to the relationship that we're forced to develop with the current police system and points to the growing culture of violence and prejudice rampant in the police force. The police act as vigilantes and breed fear instead of security in communities. "Justice" was inspired by the tragic 2016 murder of Abdirahman Abdi by police constables Daniel Montsion and Dave Weir in Ottawa, Canada.
BTR: Who are some of the band's inspirations?
PC: In many ways, the cinema is the biggest source of inspiration for our band. For this record, we drew from a lot of 1980s dystopian sci-fi films. Composers like Brad Fiedel (Terminator), Vangelis (Blade Runner) and John Carpenter (Escape from New York) were big inspirations for us.
Also, more contemporary records like Liars' Drums Not Dead and Portishead's Third come to mind as having a big impact on our music. We create music somewhat cerebrally, having conversations surrounding what type of mood we're aiming to capture and how that influences previous and forthcoming sections.
BTR: Is there something specific you want listeners to get from this song?
PC: "Justice" is meant to be jarring. It's raw, aggressive and unapologetically in your face. It should disturb you.
BTR: Tell me about this upcoming album. Did you guys dabble in anything new?
PC: We're very slow-moving when it comes to creating a record. Songs often come together in the rehearsal room, but then are stripped away and reconstructed in post-production to create a sonic environment that is more deliberate than just the sum of playing our instruments in rehearsal. For this record we wanted to build the songs from the drums up. For example, we tracked some songs with two and sometimes even three drummers. Using drums as a basis for composition offered really interesting ideas in song building. We recorded most of the drums separately and with no cymbals to be able to freely edit and re-sample them as we liked. Although new to us, methods like these have been frequently used since the 80s notably with Phil Collins on Peter Gabriel's third album.
BTR: What are you excited for in the future of Scattered Clouds?
PC: The release of new music and videos. We've collaborated with some incredible artists to create accompanying videos for several of the songs for our new record. These collaborations pair visuals with our music to create profound new experiences with the songs that help to point to the cinematic reference that inspired them in the first place, which is very exciting and exactly what we hoped to accomplish with these tracks.
6/6/18 // #83: New Music From Remember Sports, Deeper & So Much More!


A super-affordable wireless follow focus system for indie filmmakers. It's open source and Arduino compatible too!
297 backers pledged $104,456 to help bring this project to life.
The Lenzhound, a super-affordable wireless follow focus system designed for independent filmmakers, consists of the handheld remote transmitter unit (RTX-1) and the motor/receiver unit (DB-1) which attaches to the user's DSLR or video camera. The DB-1 lens motor is targeted towards DSLR and video cameras employing lenses with manual operation rings, but can be utilized with certain, heavier cinema lenses too. The system features open source, Arduino compatible firmware which enables a powerful array of user generated, optional settings. The Lenzhound System offers a flexible, wireless and user-friendly method of extending lens control to an assistant camera operator or "focus puller" enabling professional, cinematic filmmaking.
Indie filmmakers find it hard to afford the standby Hollywood-style wireless follow focus solutions and so we often go without. But it's an essential tool for next-level film making. So we began building our own - with the independent film makers' (usually rather thin) wallet in mind. Check what else is out there and you'll find the Lenzhound Wireless Lens Control System is extremely affordable and amazingly user friendly. It's also very flexible, lightweight and features open source code.
The RTX-1 is a wireless remote control transmitter. Now your follow focus operator can give the camera operator some breathing room! It's compact, about the size of a smart phone, making it a comfortable fit in your hands for those production days that never seem to end. The remote itself uses a familiar industry follow focus knob design and range-marking disc; essential features for the assistant camera operator (AC) to reliably hit their marks on set.
If you watched our video you might be asking, what is this User Defined "Z-Mode" they're talking about?
Well, we're independent filmmakers ourselves and we tend to think...independently. So we thought, why not allow the controller to be programmed to serve multiple functions and to be customized by the user. You can push the limits of the hardware and experiment on your own to create complex moves, adjust the speed profile curves or change the timing parameters allowing you, for example, to enable very slow, time-lapse type of functionality.
The open source nature of the firmware allows you to change the parameters in the default modes (Freerun and Playback) if you choose, but Z-mode is designed to enable access to that customization at the flip of a switch while preserving the default functionality of the other two modes. We'll be creating a Web and desktop application for both Mac and PC along with a code repository for defaults, upgrades and user-generated code. Don't worry, you won't have to be a code-head to use this feature.
We hope to foster a creative community and to closely work with our user-base. We really want the film makers that use this tool to be a part of helping make it better. We believe building a web based community around open source software and designs is a key way to do this.
While the DB-1 is a combined receiver/motor unit, the master plan with our larger stretch-goals entails having the receivers be detachable from the dogbone motor units. Our receiver units can operate with almost any stepper motor on the market, making it easy for you to run stepper motors with different power capabilities, or dedicated to different functions like camera jibs, sliders, aerial rigs or just about any other crazy camera movement you can imagine.
We thought it would be a good idea to show a little of the process of developing the current prototype system.
At first we were thinking of a rectangular case to mount on the camera rod system, but the more we fiddled and clamped motors on different types of supports, the more this dogbone shaped "Y" kept coming up.
The dogbone arm takes shape in this first water-jet aluminum cutout. It's kind of a Rorschach shape.
The first receiver box combines several popular development boards.
As we narrowed down to certain motors, the shape of the dogbone arm is refined and married to the receiver box.
Motor caps for the DB-1 in various stages of production.
The DB-1's main circuit board.
Our first transmitter was just an attempt to stuff all the breadboard components into some sort of container. We had a hobby box on the shelf and we just started hacking and drilling. We finally got it to fit, but it wasn't pretty.
When we started thinking about the form of the controller we had requests from our favorite ACs to have a handle on the bottom and the "Paintbrush" was the result; A 3D printed, 2 piece unit with a battery cover. We love this design but it's a little too big and we decided that the injection molding would be cost prohibitive unless we really have enough demand to support it. If we reach our highest stretch goal we might revisit the paintbrush concept.
The RTX-1 Remote came about very quickly after we decided to move on from the paintbrush. We had been dabbling with all the parts and materials and we really knew what we were after. The biggest thing was allowing ourselves to make the focus knob a little smaller than our original concept. This made the form factor just fall into place.
We'll post a Thank You Tweet or Facebook shoutout while you get the warm fuzzies knowing you've just helped indie filmmaking become a little better.
All the love from above plus you'll get a cool sticker!
Be one of the first individuals with a Lenzhound System. With this reward you'll be at the top of our list to get and help us field test one of the first five pre-production prototypes off the line, uniquely numbered and named.
We'll add a 19mm ROD MOUNT DB-1 available as an optional reward wherever the 15mm is offered.
Add a little color to your life. We will offer a SELECTION OF COLORS to anodize the aluminum components of your Lenzhound Receiver and Controller.
If we reach this goal, we will do a survey to decide which colors to make available.
AND - Every controller's marking disc will have an optional GLOW-IN-THE-DARK BACKING!
All receiver boxes will get a free upgrade option to make the receiver/driver box detachable from the dogbone arm and the addition of accessible motor terminals. This allows connection of different types and sizes of motor for alternate applications.
We'll add a reward to upgrade the remote to expand up to three channels allowing control of IRIS, ZOOM, and FOCUS motors simultaneously.
During our Kickstarter funding campaign we'll be busy letting people know about it, monitoring the survey's and FAQs and generally keeping in touch with everyone. But even during the campaign, as soon as we know we're funded we'll put all our vendors and providers on alert and place orders as possible for testing of the production prototypes before manufacturing.
The production of the manufactured systems and fulfillment of rewards will happen in four phases.
Based on our level of funding we will either go straight to pre-production prototypes from our hand made prototypes or we will incorporate the changes encompassed in our stretch goals.
You can help lead the way to a new era of better filmmaking. New DSLR's have made affordable, high quality film making possible where it wasn't before. Technology is revolutionizing independent filmmaking. We want to bring another valuable and affordable tool of the trade to this newly emerging market of filmmakers. We have prototypes that have been a lot of fun to use but now it's time to crank out the real deal. Now is your chance to be one of the first to join on on this journey.
Thank you for your pledges and support!
If we don't meet our goal, nobody gets to have fun with their Lenzhound System!
There could most certainly be some unknowns or technical obstacles to overcome when entering into manufacturing. We have created several possible roadmaps for ourselves, depending on the level of funding we receive, to ensure delivery time is as accurate as possible. We are experienced filmmakers, familiar with striving for a goal. We are veteran business owners, acquainted with cost estimates, deadlines, product delivery, and navigating uncharted waters. This is however, our first time manufacturing a technology product so we do ask for your patience through this process. We are very excited by the enabling potential that a crowd-source funding platform such as this provides and we will strive to exceed your expectations for the new Lenzhound System.
Receive a thank you Tweet or Facebook shoutout, and our infinite gratitude!
Receive a groovy Lenzhound sticker, a thank you shout, and our infinite gratitude!

Q: how to keep jobs with nohup in lxd I made python script that needs to run background.
This script is in lxd image which is running (checked by 'lxc list')
got into image and tried to keep it run in background.
local> lxc exec image-name -- bash
image-root> nohup python test.py &

and It worked at this point.
image-root> jobs
--printed test.py jobs

BUT when I got out from image and re-entered it, all jobs gone.
image-root> exit (or ctrl+d)
root> lxc exec image-name -- bash
image-root> jobs
--printed nothing and script is not running in background. WHY?

A: Are you sure the script is not running? Since you have backgrounded it and nohupped it, and then return in a new bash instance, there is no reason you should see it with the "jobs" command. When doing a quick test I have no problem leaving the job running and returning to see the result still being produced.

Sheriff Israel Brags to Tapper: "I Would Have Been the First In"
On his CNN show this morning, Jake Tapper raked Broward Sheriff Scott Israel over the coals for his department's mishandling of the Parkland school shooting.
Israel bobbed and weaved, but at one point his ego revealed itself. After claiming that as sheriff he has provided "amazing leadership," Israel vaingloriously boasted that if he had been at the school:
"I would have been the first in."
Perhaps realizing what a vain boast he'd made, Israel added "along with so many of the other people."
Among other highlights, Tapper grilled Israel for his failure to disclose at last week's town hall, moderated by Tapper, that the deputy had failed to go in. Israel claimed he hadn't seen the video of that dereliction of duty by the time of the town hall. A skeptical Tapper was incredulous that, one week after the shooting, Israel hadn't seen the video.

Nearly two weeks since P Day and it's been a lot of fun so far.
Dechen, (displaying her clear potential for a big future as a weather wench) found (and pointed out) some copies at Shearers on Norton Street, Leichhardt. Thanks Kate Wake for sharing.
Meanwhile over in Chatswood, Juliette was restrained by David from removing THE OLD SCHOOL from the shelf and placing it in the Number 1 spot out near the front door. Juliette might have found herself in a spot of bother from Border(s) Security if she tried!
Me, I'm just happy to see it cover out ... wooo hooo!
Then last night, a sighting in Dymocks from my old university mate Nigel Bartlett (remember that name - a great crime novel is being brewed in that head as we speak).
I have also had the chance to talk to some great people across New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia over the past couple of weeks. Some for print interviews, some pre-recorded interviews and some LIVE. If any turn up as podcasts I'll link them up.
It's been interesting to respond to the range of questions - some focus on the past life in The Job, some on teasing out what we can of the book without blowing the twists and turns, some have been fascinated by the time in India, others by the time in Africa and the music. Just goes to show, live long enough, make enough career U-Turns and you too will have a rich tapestry to draw on.
Then on Monday my inner geek got a real thrill.
I did four interviews for various ABC Regional radio programs from the ABC TARDIS at Ultimo. Yes, that's what they have named their live radio booths, where you slide in and talk to the regions and the sound quality comes out as pure as if you were sitting in the same room.
And they call it the TARDIS.
This is why we love Aunty.

(in 38 km.) Montauban: Today the rest of the group is going to incorporate with us, so while we give them time to arrive, before starting the bike section that is planned for today, we will visit the nearby town of Montauban. Montauban is a city of art and history. The construction material more used is the red brick. The city has the typical architectural curiosity of fortified towns in the region. Founded in 1144 by the Count of Toulouse, like many small towns in the southwest, meets certain characteristics: all streets intersecting at right angles and define a rectangular central square.
We parked under the Pont Vieux and went up the historic center. First we passed in front of Notre-Dame-de-l´Assomption. We were a little disappointed by the first impression of this building because the car park in front of the facade spoils the image. The cathedral is remarkable only for the possession of the "Vow of Louis XIII", one of the masterpieces of Ingres. The old town is very homogeneous and no modern buildings disrupt the harmony of the brick facades generally built in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The Place Nationale is a square of the 17th century, entered at each corner by gateways giving access to a large open space surrounded by red brick houses supported by double rows of arcades. It was rebuilt in the seventeenth century as a result of the fires in 1614 and 1649. We continue towards the church of St Jacques (14th and 15th centuries), dedicated to Saint James of Compostela, the façade of which is surmounted by a handsome octagonal tower, the base of which is in Romanesque style, while the upper levels, built later, are in Gothic style.
Also highlights in the city the Musée Ingres, building that was the old town hall and an episcopal palace built in 1664 on the ruins of the palace occupied by the Black Prince during the Hundred Years´ War. The building houses works of Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres and Emile Antoine Bourdelle. We end our short visit to Montauban in the Pont Vieux (Old Bridge), a pink brick structure, build in the early 14th century, over 205 metres in length, but while its fortified towers have disappeared, it is otherwise in a good state of preservation.


Pica is one of the famous eating disorders due to its weird nature. Pica eating disorder is all about the persistent consumption of substances that have no nutritional value. Patients can eat glass, metal, chalk, paint or hair. For such attitude to be identified as Pica, the behavior should continue for one month at any age, where eating such substances is neither related to development, culture or religion.
Pica can be benign or life-threatening. The difference is highly attributed to the nature of the substances consumed. Most of the time, such behavior is considered to be socially unacceptable. However, consuming certain substances like sharp objects or elements that have a high level of toxicity might cause a lot of medical complications and can even threaten the life of the patient.
What are Pica Eating Disorder Symptoms ?
The symptoms and dangers of Pica eating disorder are related to the substances that the patient is most likely going to consume. If the patient, for example, consumes toxic or infectious substances, they might be subject to poisoning and should be hospitalized until they are feeling better. Sometimes a surgery should be conducted to remove the sharp objects from the digestive tract to avoid internal bleeding. Some surgeries are meant to treat internal blockage and inflammation due to the consumption of unusual substances.
Some patients might suffer from lead poisoning because they consume metal objects that have a high content of lead. Others suffer from toxic ingestion(1) due to consuming dirt, insects and bodily waste. Mechanical bowel problems are common among Pica patients. They usually suffer from constipation, perforations, and ulcers especially if they consume sharp objects like glass and nails. Patients also usually suffer from dental problems like sever teeth abrasion and gum related issues because they consume unusual substances.
The severity of the symptoms can range from mild to severe depending on the nature of the substances consumed and the frequency of engaging in such unhealthy behavior.
Pica is usually diagnosed when patients show severe symptoms of anemia because they don't eat enough nutrients. Most of the time, the patient will not hide to eat the substances they fancy and patients are therefore rather easy to spot. An internal blockage is very common among patients who eat pieces of wood, glass and paper. A doctor will usually run blood tests to check for iron deficiency and high levels of other minerals. An X-ray is then performed to check for substances in the stomach and colon. The doctor usually runs a series of lab tests to check for infections caused by eating dirty or contaminated items that are full of parasites, microorganisms and bacteria.
Most of the time, the doctor will hold tests to check for other issues like mental retardation, developmental disabilities and obsessive-compulsive disorders where the person might engage in unexplainable habits. If the patient maintains an unnatural eating pattern where they consume weird and unusual items that have no nutritional value for more than one month then they are diagnosed with Pica patients.
Alternative treatments for eating disorders are available and the collaboration between a mental health specialist and a nutritionist is the only way to treat Pica. A nutrition specialist will help create a healthy meal plan to compensate for the deficiencies. While a mental health therapist will monitor the patient to help identify and address the reasons behind this condition.

"My name is Nathan Hoppes and I just want you to know how much we appreciated Inez when she lived in my grandmothers apartment for many years. It was so good to have Inez living there as it made my grandmother feel a lot safer just knowing she lived upstairs. Have not seen Inez since she moved from Waterloo, use to talk to her when she went to the mass at St. Francis Hospital. I am truly sorry to hear of her passing, she was a fine woman and a good friend of both my wife and myself. I feel truly blessed knowing her Nathan L. Hoppes"

"I?m so sorry to hear of Miss Welsh?s passing. She was one of my favorite teachers, but for some reason, i was very afraid of her before I got into her class. She removed those fears on day one in her class. She lived a very long life. I would?ve enjoyed knowing she was still alive and trying to reach out to her, so that she knew how much she meant to me as a student of hers at Lowell School in 1966-67. I became a teacher, as well. I can only hope I made as much of a mark/impact on my former and future students, as she did for me! My condolences to her her extended family."
Gail Froyen wrote on Jul 22, 2019:
"I taught with Inez at Lowell School during the 1980s. The first thing I learned from her was how to correctly pronounce Inez. Then from her example I learned how a smile and laughter brought light to the days of the Lowell students. Her love for her students was palpable. She was one of a kind and an example of how love brings joy."
Theresa Schaefer McRae wrote on Jul 21, 2019:

Found in translation: Original works in Indian languages beginning to break free from prejudice
With publishers devoting bigger budgets and authors famous for their own works turning their hand to translation, works originally written in Indian languages are beginning to break the stranglehold of so-called 'Indian writing in English'.
Moeena Halim
Writer Namita Gokhale hates the term vernacular, a condescending relic of colonialism that doesn't do justice to India's rich literary heritage. Fortunately, "that prejudice towards Indian languages is now gone", says the co-founder and director of next week's Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF).
Last year, Srinath Perur's English translation of Vivek Shanbhag's Kannada novella Ghachar Ghochar (Penguin) made it to The Guardian's list of Best Books of the Year and The New York Times Critics' Top Books of 2017. Tamil writer Perumal Murugan's Songs of a Coward: Poems of Exile also won global accolades. "While the European market was always open to translations, with a frequent exchange between France, Germany and India, the English market was generally resistant," says Gokhale. "Now that is also changing."
It's been a long time coming, and many people helped make it happen. Arshia Sattar set up the Sangam residency in 2007. Aditi Maheshwari of Vani Prakashan has worked doggedly to promote Hindi literature. Mini Krishnan, editor of Oxford University Press, has pushed Indian language fiction in translation. And Mita Kapur, founder and CEO of the literary agency Siyahi, organised a seminar, 'Translating Bharat', in January 2008 to bring together local and international translators and publishers. Translations were already billed as the industry's "next big thing". But it's taken a decade for the results to begin to show. "The industry has notched up its act in this area, not only in the quality of translations but also numbers," says Kapur. "You see many more authors being translated into various languages. Many more Indian language translations are being sold on book shelves. It's a good time and we have to keep the pace going."
Gokhale says JLF has also played a significant role. Though its big name international guests garner most of the attention, the 10-year-old festival has always focused on showcasing Indian writing, both in English as well as in Indian languages, she claims. Five years ago, for instance, the Jaipur BookMark was launched at JLF to facilitate the sale and exchange of rights, both between Indian languages and internationally. "I knew that a literary movement in India would happen only if the distances between the languages were breached," says Gokhale.
HarperCollins India's imprint Perennial, dedicated exclusively to translations, is celebrating its 10th anniversary too. With more than 100 titles under their belt, they've handpicked 10 of their favourite Perennial books to be published as keepsake editions this year. Amazon-owned Westland plans to go a step further. Each of its English books will be translated into eight or nine Indian languages this year, and the publisher has tied up with Hind Yugm for its first original Hindi title in 2018.
Such efforts have brought new and better translators into the fray, including successful writers like Jerry Pinto, who are well known for their own works. Pinto, who has translated three Marathi books since 2013, traces the new interest to the "new-found confidence in India as a potential world player"-which has made the country's literary heritage a point of pride. But Rahul Soni, author, translator and editor at HarperCollins, isn't sure readership has increased alongside the greater attention. "Translations have become, over the past few years, one of the things that people talk about and deem important," he says. "Has the readership grown? Not too significantly, I would think, but slowly and steadily."
One reason for that is publishers still don't devote the same resources toward marketing translations that they do to works originally written in English, says Shanta Gokhale, known for her translations of Marathi plays. "Publishers only send review copies to newspapers and news websites. If any marketing is to be done, the writers/ translators do it, generally via social media, for which no monetary investment is required."
The claims for JLF notwithstanding, the high-profile literature festivals cater primarily to authors who write in English, she says. "Not much discussion can happen about Indian language literature at these festivals because neither the organisers nor audiences would have read the literature in the original." Even Mumbai's Gateway Litfest, which is dedicated to literature in Indian languages, only invites writers who can speak in English, while the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival's events for Marathi and Gujarati literature invariably attract an audience so small it is "very disheartening for participants", she adds.
This year, the Rajasthan Pragatisheel Lekhak Sangh will hold the Parallel Literature Festival across town from JLF, highlighting the literary works of writers in Hindi and other Indian languages over 24 sessions, from January 27 to 29. But it remains to be seen whether any of the JLF literati will deign to turn up, or when, if ever, an Indian translation commands the kind of readership drawn to Japan's Haruki Murakami or South Korea's Han Kang.
"One can hope," says Soni. "And I think focusing on the quality of translation is the place to begin."
Jaipur Litfest
The Jaipur Literature Festival, or 'Litfest', as it's affectionately known, isn't just for readers of English and Hindi. This year's event represents fifteen Indian languages and twenty international ones. And with music, food and more than a few parties, you don't have to know Paul Theroux from Paolo Coelho to have a good time.
The mammoth list of 60 speakers ranges from tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain, and writer Pico Iyer to Tibetan Master Milarepa and poet Rupi Kaur, and writer Manoranjan Bapari who was inspired to write by Mahasweta Devi. Namita Gokhale says, "In an age when ideas are exchanged not only through text, JLF lures even the non-reader with the charm of personal face to face human interaction with great writers, thinkers, and performers."
Admission is free but finding a seat can be hard and getting out without buying anything even harder. Still, it's always worth the scrum.

Happy Wednesday, hope you're all well!
As you know I was bought the limited edition beauty case from Glossybox and as I have cancelled my monthly subscriptions (for now) I am doing a little series on whats inside the beauty case, kind of making it my own monthly subscription as I've no idea what's in each of the compartments.
There was only three products in this compartment and I was so excited to see make up I know I would use daily. I've never really bought any make up items from these three brands so I was very excited to give them a whirl.
Studio 10 Radiance glow kit. I've never heard of this brand before but ever since I added this product into my make up routine, I just love it. The kit as you can see consists of bronzing powder and a radiance powder. I adore the bronzer powder as it's quite a natural one and it suits my complexion well, however the radiance powder I feel doesn't really do anything for me sadly. The kit is quite handy to have and I do enjoy using it for my all over bronzing needs. I haven't tried using it as a contour it might work might not, it looks like it would be ok but I prefer the contour shade from an Urban Decay palette that I use daily.
Sleek Blush By 3 Palette – Santa Marina 087 Nautical Collection. The name and packaging alone just made me excited, as I'm obsessed with all things nautical. I just had a gut feeling I was going to love it and I was right, I'm obsessed with this blush palette!. This palette is inspired by mysterious oceans and clear blue seas. This stunning little palettes consists of 2 matte shades and one shimmer shades. I am naturally drawn to the matte shades rather than the shimmer, and I preferred one to use daily is the dark pink shade. The shade names are also very appealing, L-R ' Calypso Island', 'Phoenix Sand' and 'Coral Dune' I have tried all of these shades and they all apply easily and look lovely. You don't need a lot of product as they are well pigmented.
Pixi by Petra Mesmerizing Mineral Palette. We all know how much I'm a fan of natural gold shades so when I saw this I was super excited to try it out. I adore the name 'Copper Peach' and I adore how well pigmented each of the shades are.
Like the sleek blush palette you don't need to use a lot of the product I sometimes just apply 2/3 coats just to get the shade I want and they last all day. I find I have no fall out when applying which is great as I don't end up ruining the rest of my make up. All of the shades make both perfect day time and night time looks, am I am really enjoying the different looks I create from just this one little palette!. I have used this applicator and it applies ok, the shades blend out really well and would definitely purchase more palettes from the Pixi range.
Have you tired any make up from these brands? Anything you would recommend?

Mast cells can be activated through both IgE and non-IgE-related mechanisms, resulting in the release of mediators, such as tryptase, histamine, heparin, leukotrienes and prostaglandins.1 This activation can occur in a healthy person, for example in response to a mosquito bite, and in patients with both mastocytosis and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Patients with mastocytosis have extra mast cells that can activate and release their mediators, in addition to the possibility of mast cells that may more readily release mediators, resulting in increased mediator-induced symptoms. Patients with MCAS may also have mast cells that are signaled to release their mediators more easily; this may depend on genetics, tissue location of the reacting mast cells, the trigger that initiates the response, or even coexisting conditions.2, 3 Symptomatology can arise from both mediator release and/or from mast cell proliferation, accumulation and infiltration in tissues, depending on the form of mast cell disease. Triggers can be common to both patients with mastocytosis and MCAS, but may be different for each patient.

Why this line got removed?

A: The question is really how did it get there in the first place.  Did you restore the database from another source, perhaps?  This is fairly common if you're using a cloud provider (like Heroku, for example).

The first dive of the day at Little Cozumel had dolphins right away. Hung around came really close and gave the divers a show for 3/4 of the dive. Also had sharks, turtles, eels and sting rays.
Second dive at Twin Anchors was just as exciting just no dolphins.
Afternoon dive to Turquoise Bay and Blue whole. Divers got to see numerous turtles.
Great day to be on the boat.
