Love this trail
January, 2022 by edgar-santos
Often cycle the Heritage trail itself and other times in conjunction with the NCR to the south. Plenty of places to enter the trail to satisfy whatever distance you may want to cover and beautiful vistas along the way. York county has done an excellent job with the trail. Definitely worth visiting and riding the HT.
Warwick-to-Ephrata Rail-Trail
very nice trail
December, 2021 by lowtoyonair
I hopped on this trail somewhere around the mid point and headed towards Lititz. Very nice maintained. I even enjoyed a few alternative routes around a park and a school. I was hoping it would go farther towards the pleasant downtown area in Lititz but feel that the streets are safe enough to travel to all of the shopping attractions in Lititz. I the returned back to the trail and followed it back all the way to Ephrata and was pleasantly surprised to see that that end of the trail leads to downtown. I even caught a glimpse of a small BMX style practice track that I was tempted to try. I also want to mention that there are bike rental options at either end of the trail that makes for a great option for non-owners.
Stellar trail ride in the Fall
November, 2021 by richardsj1
Rode from Valley Forge (Pawlings Rd Access) to end of the trail in Philadelphia and back for around 49 miles or so. It was a weekday morning and the conditions were ideal. The only challenges heading into Philadelphia are figuring out where to go around Manayunk (canal trail or through town) and then connecting to the paved trail at or past Lincoln (?). Easier coming back. Well worth the ride from York.
This trail has many nice features such as a gentle gradient and very few road crossings. The trail is popular among pedestrians and cyclists therefore on balmy days traffic on the trail will require care and patience.

Greater Hazleton Rails to Trails
Nice Trail, Well Maintained
November, 2021 by gennatesw
I went (mountain) biking in the trail, which I found to be very smooth and enjoyable, with not too many hills along the ride. I was surprised with how well maintained and smooth the path was, I expected to find some washed out spots and/or downed tree limbs, but seriously didn't run into a single bump along the path. Saw a few people early on, but then had the trail mostly to myself, even on a Saturday. Great job by the service that upkeeps the path! Will definitely be coming back.

This is the first huge trail I've been able to find. It's great! I love how easy it is to walk. I usually start where the parking lot is on pawlings or on station and I walk towards oaks near mill road. I'm just starting out walking and it's great for a beginner.
Great ride north from Glen Onoko, with a few caveats...
October, 2021 by jsshoemaker826
Oct 11, 2021. Parked in Glen Onoko parking lot. Lots of parking, but we could not find any toilets anywhere. Seems like with all that parking for visitors, the town or park should at least provide some porta-potties. We rode north for about 15 miles. Almost all of the trail was in great condition. There were a few spots near Glen Onoko with very loose fill that required walking (32 mm wide tires). Very nice scenery, and not crowded on a holiday Monday. Nice facilities at the Rockport trailhead. Overall a great ride!
Enola Low Grade Trail
Beautiful Fall Bike Ride
October, 2021 by kdenikend
Nice (approx 20 mile) out and back bike ride on a beautiful fall day. Appreciated the well maintained mostly level gravel pathway. Left from Quarryville area parking lot and rode to the Martic Forge closure. Many birds crossed the path as well as woolly bear caterpillars. Nice to know that there are 2 bike stations along the way if needed. We'll be back!
Ironton Rail-Trail
Beautiful trail to skate on--just one bad crossing...
October, 2021 by ajazzfan
I did a portion of this trail, Whitehall trail head to East Church Street. It is mostly flat until you hit the loop section, that was a short hill, but a little steep. The only problem I had was crossing 2nd Street--extremely rough pavement, it's like they milled the road and never finished it! Except for that crossing the rest of the trail was fine. Plenty of parking at the trailhead, but there are more parking areas further up the trail as well. I didn't see any public restrooms, there are a few portable toilets along the trail. Plenty of benches and other seating areas along the trail, but no water fountains--make sure you bring enough water! There is a shooting range next to the trail that was Very active while I was skating, some people may be bothered by this, I wasn't. I went in the morning and there were other people on the trail but it was not crowded.
Big Woods Trail
Scenic trail coming together
October, 2021 by jmcginnis12@gmail.com
Situated in the rolling hills of southeast Berks and northwest Chester County, the Big Woods Trail will link several parks and historic sites when completed.
A work in progress, the trail will connect the Schuylkill River Trail to the borough of Elverson when completed. As of 2021, three, disconnected segments of the multi-use trail are finished.
The northern segment begins at the Schuylkill River Trail in the village of Monocacy and winds its way up a grassy hillside to Crusher Road. This section is noted for its rolling pasturelands and panoramic views of the valley below.
The middle segment starts a few miles to the south at the Hopewell Iron Furnace National Historic Site off Park Road. The centerpiece of this site is a restored 19th century-era furnace, which was fed by charcoal produced from the trees of the surrounding Big Woods and used to smelt iron from nearby mines. Trail users should check out the grounds before heading southwest on the greenway, which passes through the woods and connects the Historical Site to the adjacent French Creek State Park. This section also connects to the Horseshoe Trail and the State Park's own network of footpaths and follows the south shoreline of Hopewell Lake, ending at the park's main parking lot and recreation complex.
A shorter, southern segment of the trail extends for about a quarter mile along an abandoned rail line in the borough of Elverson. This segment begins at Park Ave. and extends to Route 23 (Main Street), and is noted for several restored historical buildings.
When the trail is eventually completed, it will link the Schuylkill River and Horseshoe trails as well as several other historical sites and open space areas. It may also be extended further south into Chester County via the old Reading to Coatesville rail line.

Fetal Programming
Fetal programming, or prenatal programming, is a concept that suggests certain events occurring during critical points of pregnancy may cause permanent effects on the fetus and the infant long after birth. The concept of fetal programming stemmed from the fetal origins hypothesis, also known as Barker's hypothesis, that David Barker proposed in 1995 at the University of Southampton in Southampton, England.
Subject: Processes, Theories, Reproduction
Endometriosis is a medical condition that involves abnormal growths of tissue resembling the endometrium, which is the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus. Those growths, called endometrial lesions, typically form outside the uterus, but can spread to other reproductive organs such as ovaries and fallopian tubes. Endometrial lesions swell and bleed during menstruation, which can cause painful and heavy menstruation, as well as infertility.

"Some of the Uses of Electricity in Gynecology," (1901) by William Henry Walling
In 1901, physician William Henry Walling published the article, Some of the Uses of Electricity in Gynecology, in the January issue of the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Journal. Walling was a practicing gynecologist who studied electro-therapeutics, or the use of electricity in medicine for the treatment of disease, which was an emerging topic during the late 1800s. Walling stated that proper administration of electrical current to a woman's vagina, uterus, bladder, or rectum could be therapeutic for gynecological diseases.

"Annual Research Review: Prenatal Stress and the Origins of Psychopathology: An Evolutionary Perspective" (2011), by Vivette Glover
In 2011, fetal researcher Vivette Glover published "Annual Research Review: Prenatal Stress and the Origins of Psychopathology: An Evolutionary Perspective," hereafter, "Prenatal Stress and the Origins of Psychopathology," in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. In that article, Glover explained how an evolutionary perspective may be useful in understanding the effects of fetal programming. Fetal programming is a hypothesis that attempts to explain how factors during pregnancy can affect fetuses after birth.

Home / Team Edanso wins Food Connection Challenge
Team Edanso wins Food Connection Challenge
November 11, 2016 By: F&BKP Office Image: F&BKP Office
On November 5, 2016, the Food Connection Challenge (FCC) Final took place at the Afrikadag in Amsterdam. Dutch students pitched their innovative business solutions, developed to address postharvest issues of Ghanaian companies. The teams used the innovative expertise of Dutch entrepreneurs to support their business cases and aimed at adapting these technologies to the Ghanaian context.
Postharvest issues threaten both food security and the profitability of the agricultural sector. When realizing that about one third of produce gets wasted worldwide because of postharvest issues – think of mold, a lack of storing facilities or transport problems – the importance of tackling such issues becomes clear. But how to turn these problems into real business cases, that are both profitable for the Ghanaian and Dutch entrepreneurs?
Food Connection Challenge Final
On November 5, 2016, a broad audience gathered during the Afrikadag in Amsterdam for the Final of the Food Connection Challenge. The four participating teams presented their solutions to practical postharvest issues faced by Ghanaian agricultural entrepreneurs. The diversity of the solutions was significant, because of the big differences in the business cases. Postharvest issues ranged from the losses of tilapia during transport, to the lack of cold storage for pineapples and the losses of peanuts due to harvesting techniques and aflatoxins.
The jury consisted of Froukje Verreijt of RVO, Anitra van der Kraan of NABC and Maaike Veen of ImpactBooster. They had a difficult task in selecting the winner, because of the variety of cases. "We really liked the creativity of the teams, by which they faced the specific challenges of their own case", Van der Kraan explained. However, after thorough examination of the business plans, and a critical Q&A session that followed after each presentation, the jury managed to select a winning team.
Edanso – the winning solution
"We liked the winning solution, because it is very easy and feasible", explained the jury when they picked the Edanso team, consisting of Poppy Eyre and Naomi Berns, both studying International Food & Agriculture at HAS University of Applied Sciences in Den Bosch. Edanso is a company that processes groundnuts into paste. Because there is a shortage in certain times of the year, Edanso could get a better price for its products when they would manage to store the groundnuts for three months. However, storing is not easy because aflatoxin forms a big risk.
The team found a solution by using innovations of the Dutch company VQM Packaging, consisting of a vacuum pump, a heat sealer and special plastic bags. The solution would cost around €1,700.- and it would save Edanso €1,400.- annually, resulting in a payback time of 1.2 years. In addition the team proposed Edanso to create an aflatoxin awareness program in which they educate the farmers they collaborate with on the effects of aflatoxin and how it affects their business.
It was an exciting final, as the fit-to-purpose solutions of the students really showed how Dutch and Ghanaian companies can work together to fight postharvest issues. Currently, the organizers explore the possibilities to pilot the different solutions.
The Food & Business Knowledge Platform (F&BKP) has awarded a grant to BoP Innovation Center and Crosswise Works to organize this Food Connection Challenge.

Rate My Professors analysis suggests 'gender language bias' by students
By Scott Jaschik, for Inside Higher Ed
Many professors cringe when they think about the way they are described on Rate My Professors, the popular site used by students to evaluate faculty members. A new tool allows those being rated (or anyone) to see the way students tend to use different words when rating male and female professors - generally to the disadvantage of the latter.
Benjamin M. Schmidt, an assistant professor of history at Northeastern University and a faculty member in the NuLab for Texts, Maps and Networks, created a database based on the words used in 14 million reviews on Rate My Professors.
Typing in words reveals, by discipline, how common the word was (per million words of text) in reviews. The findings show the differences by gender of the faculty member, and can also be sorted strictly for positive and negative reviews, or for all reviews.
Many of the most positive words (at least in terms of academic reputation) are much more likely to come up in reviews of men than of women. The words "smart" and "intellect" are more likely to be used in ratings of men than women, and "genius" is more likely to be used to describe male than female professors in all 25 disciplines for which data are available.
Some words are more likely to be found in reviews of women, and these words tend to fit certain stereotypes. Words such as "bossy" are more likely to turn up in reviews of women. The same is true for "nurturing". Women are also more likely to be called "strict" and "demanding". (In the latter category, however, male professors are more likely to be called demanding than are female professors in the disciplines of engineering, sociology, computer science, health science and physics.)
Some fashion-related words are also more likely to show up in reviews of women than of men. This is true for negative words such as "frumpy" and words that (if the subject were fashion) would be positive, such as "stylish".
The problem with male and female professors being evaluated in different ways is hardly unique to Rate My Professors. A law dean in the US last month urged students to stop commenting on female professors' attire in reviews, noting that they don't do so in the same way for men.
In an email interview, Schmidt said the approach he took for this project is one he uses for scholarly analyses of, for example, different kinds of language used in literature of certain time periods.
As for this topic, he said, "most academics know that female teachers are treated different from male ones in all sorts of ways. I was curious how these perceptions moved over into teaching evaluations."
Schmidt said he hoped most colleges are using other systems for formally evaluating faculty members. "But I doubt there's anything too distinctive about this site: the internal evaluations that are being used for tenure and promotion decisions at many schools most likely show many of the same patterns," he said.
Colleges should examine such patterns - and also in peer review documents - and consider whether there are ways to make evaluations more fair, he added.

In 2010, a major earthquake struck Haiti, destroying or damaging over 285,000 homes. One year later, another, stronger earthquake devastated Honshu, Japan, destroying or damaging over 332,000 buildings, like those shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\). Even though both caused substantial damage, the earthquake in 2011 was 100 times stronger than the earthquake in Haiti. How do we know? The magnitudes of earthquakes are measured on a scale known as the Richter Scale. The Haitian earthquake registered a 7.0 on the Richter Scale whereas the Japanese earthquake registered a 9.0.
Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Devastation of March 11, 2011 earthquake in Honshu, Japan. (credit: Daniel Pierce).
The Richter Scale is a base-ten logarithmic scale. In other words, an earthquake of magnitude \(8\) is not twice as great as an earthquake of magnitude \(4\). It is
\[10^{8−4}=10^4=10,000 \nonumber\]
times as great! In this lesson, we will investigate the nature of the Richter Scale and the base-ten function upon which it depends.
In order to analyze the magnitude of earthquakes or compare the magnitudes of two different earthquakes, we need to be able to convert between logarithmic and exponential form. For example, suppose the amount of energy released from one earthquake were 500 times greater than the amount of energy released from another. We want to calculate the difference in magnitude. The equation that represents this problem is \(10^x=500\), where \(x\) represents the difference in magnitudes on the Richter Scale. How would we solve for \(x\)?
We have not yet learned a method for solving exponential equations. None of the algebraic tools discussed so far is sufficient to solve \(10^x=500\). We know that \({10}^2=100\) and \({10}^3=1000\), so it is clear that \(x\) must be some value between 2 and 3, since \(y={10}^x\) is increasing. We can examine a graph, as in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\), to better estimate the solution.
Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\)
Estimating from a graph, however, is imprecise. To find an algebraic solution, we must introduce a new function. Observe that the graph in Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\) passes the horizontal line test. The exponential function \(y=b^x\) is one-to-one, so its inverse, \(x=b^y\) is also a function. As is the case with all inverse functions, we simply interchange \(x\) and \(y\) and solve for \(y\) to find the inverse function. To represent \(y\) as a function of \(x\), we use a logarithmic function of the form \(y={\log}_b(x)\). The base \(b\) logarithm of a number is the exponent by which we must raise \(b\) to get that number.
We read a logarithmic expression as, "The logarithm with base \(b\) of \(x\) is equal to \(y\)," or, simplified, "log base \(b\) of \(x\) is \(y\)." We can also say, "\(b\) raised to the power of \(y\) is \(x\)," because logs are exponents. For example, the base \(2\) logarithm of \(32\) is \(5\), because \(5\) is the exponent we must apply to \(2\) to get \(32\). Since \(2^5=32\), we can write \({\log}_232=5\). We read this as "log base \(2\) of \(32\) is \(5\)."
We can express the relationship between logarithmic form and its corresponding exponential form as follows:
\[\begin{align} \log_b(x)=y\Leftrightarrow b^y=x, b> 0, b\neq 1 \end{align}\]
Note that the base \(b\) is always positive.
Because logarithm is a function, it is most correctly written as \(\log_b(x)\), using parentheses to denote function evaluation, just as we would with \(f(x)\). However, when the input is a single variable or number, it is common to see the parentheses dropped and the expression written without parentheses, as \(\log_bx\). Note that many calculators require parentheses around the \(x\).
We can illustrate the notation of logarithms as follows:
Notice that, comparing the logarithm function and the exponential function, the input and the output are switched. This means \(y={\log}^b(x)\) and \(y=b^x\) are inverse functions.
DEFINITION OF THE LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION
A logarithm base \(b\) of a positive number \(x\) satisfies the following definition.
For \(x>0\), \(b>0\), \(b≠1\),
\[\begin{align} y={\log}_b(x)\text{ is equivalent to } b^y=x \end{align}\]
we read \({\log}_b(x)\) as, "the logarithm with base \(b\) of \(x\)" or the "log base \(b\) of \(x\)."
the logarithm \(y\) is the exponent to which \(b\) must be raised to get \(x\).
Also, since the logarithmic and exponential functions switch the \(x\) and \(y\) values, the domain and range of the exponential function are interchanged for the logarithmic function. Therefore,
the domain of the logarithm function with base \(b\) is \((0,\infty)\).
the range of the logarithm function with base \(b\) is \((−\infty,\infty)\).
Q&A: Can we take the logarithm of a negative number?
No. Because the base of an exponential function is always positive, no power of that base can ever be negative. We can never take the logarithm of a negative number. Also, we cannot take the logarithm of zero. Calculators may output a log of a negative number when in complex mode, but the log of a negative number is not a real number.
How to: Given an equation in logarithmic form \({\log}_b(x)=y\), convert it to exponential form
Examine the equation \(y={\log}_bx\) and identify \(b\), \(y\),and \(x\).
Rewrite \({\log}_bx=y\) as \(b^y=x\).
Example \(\PageIndex{1}\): Converting from Logarithmic Form to Exponential Form
Write the following logarithmic equations in exponential form.
\({\log}_6(\sqrt{6})=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
\({\log}_3(9)=2\)
First, identify the values of \(b\), \(y\),and \(x\). Then, write the equation in the form \(b^y=x\).
Here, \(b=6\), \(y=\dfrac{1}{2}\),and \(x=\sqrt{6}\). Therefore, the equation \({\log}_6(\sqrt{6})=\dfrac{1}{2}\) is equivalent to
\(6^{\tfrac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{6}\)
Here, \(b=3\), \(y=2\),and \(x=9\). Therefore, the equation \({\log}_3(9)=2\) is equivalent to
\(3^2=9\)
\({\log}_{10}(1,000,000)=6\)
\({\log}_5(25)=2\)
Answer a
\({\log}_{10}(1,000,000)=6\) is equivalent to \({10}^6=1,000,000\)
Answer b
\({\log}_5(25)=2\) is equivalent to \(5^2=25\)
To convert from exponents to logarithms, we follow the same steps in reverse. We identify the base \(b\),exponent \(x\),and output \(y\). Then we write \(x={\log}_b(y)\).
Example \(\PageIndex{2}\): Converting from Exponential Form to Logarithmic Form
Write the following exponential equations in logarithmic form.
\(5^2=25\)
\({10}^{−4}=\dfrac{1}{10,000}\)
First, identify the values of \(b\), \(y\),and \(x\). Then, write the equation in the form \(x={\log}_b(y)\).
Here, \(b=2\), \(x=3\),and \(y=8\). Therefore, the equation \(2^3=8\) is equivalent to \({\log}_2(8)=3\).
Here, \(b=5\), \(x=2\),and \(y=25\). Therefore, the equation \(5^2=25\) is equivalent to \({\log}_5(25)=2\).
Here, \(b=10\), \(x=−4\),and \(y=\dfrac{1}{10,000}\). Therefore, the equation \({10}^{−4}=\dfrac{1}{10,000}\) is equivalent to \({\log}_{10} \left (\dfrac{1}{10,000} \right )=−4\).
\(5^3=125\)
\(2^{−1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
\(3^2=9\) is equivalent to \({\log}_3(9)=2\)
\(5^3=125\) is equivalent to \({\log}_5(125)=3\)
Answer c
\(2^{−1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\) is equivalent to \({\log}_2 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )=−1\)
Knowing the squares, cubes, and roots of numbers allows us to evaluate many logarithms mentally. For example, consider \({\log}_28\). We ask, "To what exponent must \(2\) be raised in order to get 8?" Because we already know \(2^3=8\), it follows that \({\log}_28=3\).
Now consider solving \({\log}_749\) and \({\log}_327\) mentally.
We ask, "To what exponent must \(7\) be raised in order to get \(49\)?" We know \(7^2=49\). Therefore, \({\log}_749=2\)
We ask, "To what exponent must \(3\) be raised in order to get \(27\)?" We know \(3^3=27\). Therefore, \(\log_{3}27=3\)
Even some seemingly more complicated logarithms can be evaluated without a calculator. For example, let's evaluate \(\log_{\ce{2/3}} \frac{4}{9}\) mentally.
We ask, "To what exponent must \(\ce{2/3}\) be raised in order to get \(\ce{4/9}\)? " We know \(2^2=4\) and \(3^2=9\), so \[{\left(\dfrac{2}{3} \right )}^2=\dfrac{4}{9}. \nonumber\] Therefore, \[{\log}_{\ce{2/3}} \left (\dfrac{4}{9} \right )=2. \nonumber\]
How to: Given a logarithm of the form \(y={\log}_b(x)\),evaluate it mentally
Rewrite the argument \(x\) as a power of \(b\): \(b^y=x\).
Use previous knowledge of powers of \(b\) identify \(y\) by asking, "To what exponent should \(b\) be raised in order to get \(x\)?"
Example \(\PageIndex{3}\): Solving Logarithms Mentally
Solve \(y={\log}_4(64)\) without using a calculator.
First we rewrite the logarithm in exponential form: \(4^y=64\). Next, we ask, "To what exponent must \(4\) be raised in order to get \(64\)?"
We know
Solve \(y={\log}_{121}(11)\) without using a calculator.
\({\log}_{121}(11)=\dfrac{1}{2}\) (recalling that \(\sqrt{121}={(121)}^{\tfrac{1}{2}}=11)\)
Example \(\PageIndex{4}\): Evaluating the Logarithm of a Reciprocal
Evaluate \(y={\log}_3 \left (\dfrac{1}{27} \right )\) without using a calculator.
First we rewrite the logarithm in exponential form: \(3^y=\dfrac{1}{27}\). Next, we ask, "To what exponent must \(3\) be raised in order to get \(\dfrac{1}{27}\)?"
We know \(3^3=27\),but what must we do to get the reciprocal, \(\dfrac{1}{27}\)? Recall from working with exponents that \(b^{−a}=\dfrac{1}{b^a}\). We use this information to write
\[\begin{align*} 3^{-3}&= \dfrac{1}{3^3}\\ &= \dfrac{1}{27} \end{align*}\]
Therefore, \({\log}_3 \left (\dfrac{1}{27} \right )=−3\).
\({\log}_2 \left (\dfrac{1}{32} \right )=−5\)
Sometimes we may see a logarithm written without a base. In this case, we assume that the base is \(10\). In other words, the expression \(\log(x)\) means \({\log}_{10}(x)\). We call a base \(-10\) logarithm a common logarithm. Common logarithms are used to measure the Richter Scale mentioned at the beginning of the section. Scales for measuring the brightness of stars and the pH of acids and bases also use common logarithms.
DEFINITION OF THE COMMON LOGARITHM
A common logarithm is a logarithm with base \(10\). We write \({\log}_{10}(x)\) simply as \(\log(x)\). The common logarithm of a positive number \(x\) satisfies the following definition.
For \(x>0\),
\[\begin{align} y={\log}(x)\text{ is equivalent to } {10}^y=x \end{align}\]
We read \(\log(x)\) as, "the logarithm with base \(10\) of \(x\) " or "log base \(10\) of \(x\)."
The logarithm \(y\) is the exponent to which \(10\) must be raised to get \(x\).
How to: Given a common logarithm of the form \(y=\log(x)\), evaluate it mentally
Rewrite the argument \(x\) as a power of \(10\): \({10}^y=x\).
Use previous knowledge of powers of \(10\) to identify \(y\) by asking, "To what exponent must \(10\) be raised in order to get \(x\)?"
Example \(\PageIndex{5}\): Finding the Value of a Common Logarithm Mentally
Evaluate \(y=\log(1000)\) without using a calculator.
First we rewrite the logarithm in exponential form: \({10}^y=1000\). Next, we ask, "To what exponent must \(10\) be raised in order to get \(1000\)?" We know
\({10}^3=1000\)
Therefore, \(\log(1000)=3\).
Evaluate \(y=\log(1,000,000)\).
\(\log(1,000,000)=6\)
How to: Given a common logarithm with the form \(y=\log(x)\),evaluate it using a calculator
Press [LOG].
Enter the value given for \(x\),followed by [ ) ].
Press [ENTER].
Example \(\PageIndex{6}\): Finding the Value of a Common Logarithm Using a Calculator
Evaluate \(y=\log(321)\) to four decimal places using a calculator.
Enter 321, followed by [ ) ].
Rounding to four decimal places, \(\log(321)≈2.5065\).
Note that \({10}^2=100\) and that \({10}^3=1000\). Since \(321\) is between \(100\) and \(1000\), we know that \(\log(321)\) must be between \(\log(100)\) and \(\log(1000)\). This gives us the following:
\(100<321<1000\)
\(2<2.5065<3\)
Evaluate \(y=\log(123)\) to four decimal places using a calculator.
\(\log(123)≈2.0899\)
Example \(\PageIndex{7}\): Rewriting and Solving a Real-World Exponential Model
The amount of energy released from one earthquake was \(500\) times greater than the amount of energy released from another. The equation \({10}^x=500\) represents this situation, where \(x\) is the difference in magnitudes on the Richter Scale. To the nearest thousandth, what was the difference in magnitudes?
We begin by rewriting the exponential equation in logarithmic form.
\({10}^x=500\)
\(\log(500)=x\) Use the definition of the common log.
Next we evaluate the logarithm using a calculator:
Enter \(500\),followed by [ ) ].
To the nearest thousandth, \(\log(500)≈2.699\).
The difference in magnitudes was about \(2.699\).
The amount of energy released from one earthquake was \(8,500\) times greater than the amount of energy released from another. The equation \({10}^x=8500\) represents this situation, where \(x\) is the difference in magnitudes on the Richter Scale. To the nearest thousandth, what was the difference in magnitudes?
The most frequently used base for logarithms is \(e\). Base \(e\) logarithms are important in calculus and some scientific applications; they are called natural logarithms. The base \(e\) logarithm, \({\log}_e(x)\), has its own notation,\(\ln(x)\). Most values of \(\ln(x)\) can be found only using a calculator. The major exception is that, because the logarithm of \(1\) is always \(0\) in any base, \(\ln1=0\). For other natural logarithms, we can use the \(\ln\) key that can be found on most scientific calculators. We can also find the natural logarithm of any power of \(e\) using the inverse property of logarithms.
DEFINITION OF THE NATURAL LOGARITHM
A natural logarithm is a logarithm with base \(e\). We write \({\log}_e(x)\) simply as \(\ln(x)\). The natural logarithm of a positive number \(x\) satisfies the following definition.
\(y=\ln(x)\) is equivalent to \(e^y=x\)
We read \(\ln(x)\) as, "the logarithm with base \(e\) of \(x\)" or "the natural logarithm of \(x\)."
The logarithm \(y\) is the exponent to which \(e\) must be raised to get \(x\).
Since the functions \(y=e^x\) and \(y=\ln(x)\) are inverse functions, \(\ln(e^x)=x\) for all \(x\) and \(e^{\ln (x)}=x\) for \(x>0\).
How to: Given a natural logarithm with the form \(y=\ln(x)\), evaluate it using a calculator
Press [LN].
Enter the value given for \(x\), followed by [ ) ].
Example \(\PageIndex{8}\): Evaluating a Natural Logarithm Using a Calculator
Evaluate \(y=\ln(500)\) to four decimal places using a calculator.
Rounding to four decimal places, \(\ln(500)≈6.2146\)
Evaluate \(\ln(−500)\).
It is not possible to take the logarithm of a negative number in the set of real numbers.

Q: How to extract lowest level of a nested JSON into a DataFrame in Python? I'm looking to extract only the lowest-level objects of a JSON in Python. For example, the first few records from API look something like this:
{
  "season": 2021,
  "charts": {
    "ARI": {
      "TE": [
        {
          "team": "ARI",
          "position": "TE",
          "depth": "1",
          "playerId": "1443",
          "name": "Dan Arnold"
        },
        {
          "team": "ARI",
          "position": "TE",
          "depth": "2",
          "playerId": "599",
          "name": "Maxx Williams"
        }
      ],
      "K": [
        {
          "team": "ARI",
          "position": "K",
          "depth": "1",
          "playerId": "1121",
          "name": "Zane Gonzalez"
        },
        {

I ultimately want to get all of these results into a DataFrame that has this structure:
| team | position | depth | playerId | name |
|:---- |:-------- |:----- |:-------- |:---- |

I've tried variations of the following code without success:
import requests as rq
import pandas as pd

# Retrieve Depth Charts
json_depthCharts = rq.get(f"https://api.fantasynerds.com/v1/nfl/depth?apikey={API_KEY}").json()

df_depthCharts = pd.json_normalize(json_depthCharts, 'charts', ['charts', 'team'])

print(df_depthCharts)

Any insights are appreciated!

A: try json_normalize()+melt()+explode()+Dataframe():
df=pd.DataFrame(pd.json_normalize(json_depthCharts).melt('season')['value'].explode().tolist())

OR
other way via stack()+drop() combination in place of melt() and rest all methods remains same:
df=pd.DataFrame(pd.json_normalize(json_depthCharts).drop(columns='season').stack().explode().tolist())

output of df:
        team    position    depth   playerId    name
0       ARI     TE          1       1443        Dan Arnold

Professor Qian (Q=Ch) received his B.A. in Astrophysics from Peking University in China in 1982, and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Biophysics from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in 1989. Subsequently, he worked as postdoctoral researcher at University of Oregon and Caltech on biophysical chemistry and mathematical biology. Before joining the University of Washington, he was an assistant professor of Biomathematics at UCLA School of Medicine. From 1992-1994, he was a fellow with the Program in Mathematics and Molecular Biology (PMMB), a NSF-funded multi-university consortium.
Professor Qian's main research interest is the mathematical approach to and physical understanding of biological systems, especially in terms of stochastic mathematics and nonequilibrium statistical physics. In recent years, he has been particularly interested in a nonlinear, stochastic, open system approach to cellular dynamics. Similar population dynamic approach can be applied to other complex systems and processes, such as those in ecology, infection epidemics, and economics. He believes his recent work on the statistical thermodynamic laws of general Markov processes can have applications in ecomomic dynamics and theory of values. In his research on cellular biology, his recent interest is in isogenetic variations and possible pre-genetic biochemical origins of oncogenesis.

Nuclear Power No Answer to Climate Change: Hinkley Point – Dawn Blockade
Posted on November 23, 2012 by Pamplemousse
NUCLEAR POWER IS NO ANSWER TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Dawn blockade leaves nuclear workers locked out
At 6 am. this morning 10 protestors blockaded access to EDF energy's nuclear sites at Hinkley Point, preventing the morning shift from starting work. Four people in arm-locks formed a barrier across the main access road at Wick Moor Drove in a bid to prevent further ground clearance work at the planned Hinkley C site and to protest at EDF's plan to extend the life of ageing reactors at the Hinkley B station.
Sitting beneath a banner saying "Nuclear Power – not worth the risk", Bristol tree-surgeon Zoe Smith said, "We want the destruction of land at the proposed Hinkley C site to stop. EDF still don't have planning permission for the new nuclear plant, the governments energy policy is in tatters. With Centrica pulling out and the long awaited Electricity Reform Act delayed, there is not even enough investment to finish the project. If the Tories fix the electricity price for nuclear so that the project can go ahead it will leave a radioactive waste dump here for hundreds of years." The early morning blockade caused long tailbacks for scores of workers contracted in to perform maintenance work on the the existing reactors at Hinkley B, EDF have signalled their intention to re-licence the reactor again in 2016.
Bridgwater mum Nikki Clark from South West Against Nuclear said, "Not only do we not need new nuclear, we certainly don't need to extend the life of the existing reactors even further. Just this year alone reactor no 4 in the B station has scrammed at least three times. EDF like to call these emergency shutdowns 'unplanned outages' , but this deliberately conceals the fact that these ageing
reactors are now in a dangerous condition. In 2008 the regulators threatened British Energy with closure of the site. The reactors do not have any fewer cracks in the graphite core now than they did then. Do we have to have our own Fukushima here in Somerset before we abandon this insanity and embrace a renewables revolution in the UK?"
Stop Hinkley spokesperson Theo Simon said, "We support this protest. New nuclear is dead in the water. We need public investment in a renewables revolution which could create a million climate jobs and cut energy bills through a programme of home insulation and energy-efficiency. With its massive marine energy resource, West Somerset is perfectly placed to lead the way in renewables, but EDF's plans would turn it into a toxic waste dump for our grandchildren."

Campaigns such as this are necessary to alert the public, where mainstream media fails us. Dirty Fossil Fuels and wasteful use of energy is churning out carbon dioxide at levels which is catastrophic for the planet. The scientific evidence is clear. To deny it is foolish, and those responsible for funding the argument against fossil fuels are the most foolish of all. The corporate power is nothing – against the power of nature which they seek to deny. Labour Leader Ed Miliband knows this, and it will be at the forefront of Labour's manifesto. The Liberal Party have sold out any pretence for green issues, and I am at a loss to understand why the Green Party in my constituency stood down at the General Election in favour of the LibDems who support this government. The Coalition government's policies are short-sighted and foolish. Like ostriches, they seek to deny the truth, and like headless chickens, they panic but will not address the issue. I believe the Labour Party are committed to addressing Climate Change.
3) Labour's leader, Ed Miliband, said:
"David Cameron promised that this government would be the greenest government ever. But this government is not up to the task. We now have a Minister for Energy who is against building new wind turbines – and a government that has delayed crucial decisions on the Green Investment Bank and de-carbonisation targets.
"George Osborne is trying to undermine the Climate Change Act, leading the dash for gas, and pandering to the climate sceptics on the back benches. We even had the spectacle of the campaign manager for one of their by-elections conspiring with the anti-wind farm candidate, and undermining their own candidate.
"Already billions of pounds in investment is going elsewhere or being put on hold. Thanks to this government, the investors who want to invest in our green sector are shutting their wallets or going elsewhere. Since this government came to power, investment in renewable energy hasn't gone up, it hasn't even stagnated – it has halved.
When we were in government, we passed the Climate Change Act which gave those investors the certainty they needed to invest. We take climate change seriously. We all have a responsibility to act now rather than expect our children to suffer the consequences. Only this week the World Bank talked of catastrophic flooding, droughts, and millions of deaths if climate change is not addressed.
"Other countries around the world are watching to see whether Britain signs up to the 2030 decarbonisation target. We are not getting leadership from this government in Westminster. All we get is dither and delay.
To the current government, if it is not too late to avert global catastrophe, we must insist on alternatives for energy sources than deriving energy from carbon producing fossil fuels – coal, oil, and gas.
Yet the government's policy:
Encourages a dash for use of gas as a fuel source, (4)
Supports more gas trapped in shale by fracking, with disastrous geological consequences (5) which could cause earthquakes.
Suggests CCS (6) as a clean-coal option (when in reality it will release further methane into the atmosphere, and is not feasible anyway)
Plans to build new nuclear power stations despite the dangers of from contamination by waste, of the dangers of nuclear weapon development, and environmental damaged as evidence by Chernobyl (7) and Fukushima. Ironically, they are encouraging support from the Japanese firm Hitachi. (8)
Is influenced by lobbyists 9) who profit financially from energy corporations.
Proposes to delay Carbon reduction targets until 2016. (10)
The recent Hurricane Sandy, and floods in the UK (11) in Autumn 2012, may be wake up calls for some. In Devon a canal constructed 200 years ago, broke its banks and may be lost forever – indicators that climate change is a reality. ( some scientific evidence here (12).
The solution is to limit energy use, and to invest in renewable energy, which will provide jobs for many and once installed has minimal maintenance costs compare with nuclear and fossil fuels. Energy requirements can be met by wind, solar, wave, HEP, geothermal and tidal. Germany is rejecting nuclear power (15) , yet the UK lags behind. While on a similar latitude to Germany, the Uk has additional resources Germany does not have. There is an enormous source of tidal power at the mouth of the River Severn, and coasts surrounds our islands which could harness wave power. We need to act, and act now, not procrastinate for future governments and our grandchildren, in order to for some to profit today.
We reject nuclear power as an alternative. A major problem is the disposal of dangerous nuclear waste which remains radioactive for centuries. It is not acceptable that we leave our dirty waste for those yet unborn, potentially exposing future generations to the horrific effects of dangerous radioactive waste.
The issue with nuclear waste is that serves no peaceful purpose, yet remains dangerous for many centuries and continues to emit radiation. No matter how we are reassured of the safety of Nuclear Power, accidents happen, and accidents are more likely happen when costs are cut, where profit is the motive.
Support for nuclear energy on financial grounds is flawed. EU calculations for financing nuclear expansion for mining of Uranium in the Ukraine ignores the cost of disposal of the toxic waste 20). Following Fukushima, the The World Bank estimated the cost of the nuclear crisis at $235bn (£144bn) (17, 18, 19)– making it one of the world's most expensive disasters.
There is also the risk of further accidents occurring in nuclear power stations whether caused by human error as in Chernobyl, or by natural disasters, as in Fukushima as seen in Japan, which resulted from an earthquake.
Nuclear waste can continue to emit radiation for centuries, and it could potentially become unstable, if handled and stored improperly, setting off a chain reaction which could create a nuclear accident. If it fell into the wrong hands, it could be used to make a dirty bomb, which could spread radiation over an inhabited area. Nuclear waste storage focuses on finding safe and secure ways to store spent nuclear fuel and other forms of nuclear waste, until they have stabilized enough to pose no threat to humans, wildlife, and the environment.
Without doubt, we must halt the damage to the world's climate by the use of carbon-emitting fuels. But to look from one disaster to another is ludicrous, and unnecessary. That we should risk accidents, from geological disaster or terrorism, a dependence on nuclear energy for the future is madness. The risk to life is so huge it should not be contemplated.

Insurer Cuts Doctor Pay, Will Others Follow?
The move by insurer Highmark to reduce physician rates in health plans offered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to make up for massive losses has sparked anger, as well as worries that other insurers will follow suit.
Highmark, a Blue Cross and Blue Shield affiliate that operates in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Delaware, said it lost $221 million on its health plans in ACA marketplaces, or exchanges, in 2014, and that it expects to lose another $500 million in 2015 because enrollees have required more care than anticipated. That has caused the insurer to pay more in claims than it collected in premiums.
Last month, Highmark announced it would cut provider rates on average in Pennsylvania by 4.5%, effective April 1, to keep these plans viable, rather than shutting them down.
Reimbursement rates for providers contracting with ACA plans typically are not generous to begin with, Gilberg told Medscape Medical News. "They have been closer to Medicare than commercial, and sometimes between Medicaid and Medicare."
"I don't believe what ails the ACA exchanges is excess payment to doctors," said Anders Gilberg, senior vice president of government affairs for the Medical Group Management Association. However, Highmark has been paying physicians in its ACA networks "at full commercial rates," said company spokesperson Aaron Billger.
Alexis Miller, Highmark's senior vice president for individual and small group business, is reported as saying that "doctor contracts are more flexible, and there's 'precedent' for such adjustments, while cutting hospital reimbursements would require hospital-by-hospital negotiations." He noted that unlike physicians, hospitals are not paid according to a uniform fee schedule.
"As a healthcare community, we're at the point where we need to work collectively to ensure the viability of the ACA marketplaces," Billger went on to say. He pointed out that ACA enrollees were once the kind of patients who came to physician offices unable to pay their bills. "We don't believe going back to uncompensated care is good for Pennsylvania or physicians," he said.
Highmark is not the only major insurer to take a beating in the ACA exchanges. UnitedHealth Group reported a $720 million loss in this line of business in 2015. The giant insurer has warned that it may pull out of the exchanges in 2017 if profitability is not in sight. Other insurers such as Aetna and Anthem also lost money on the exchanges last year, but they claim to see signs of an upswing in 2016.
For all these insurers, the red ink results from a risk pool of beneficiaries that is riskier than first anticipated. Total enrollment fell short of initial projections, and enrollees are more chronically ill than expected, driving up healthcare costs. Highmark said that the rate of congestive heart failure among its ACA members, for example, is 43% higher than that for members of its regular commercial plans. The rate of chemotherapy claims per ACA member is 49% higher.
The financial pain of insurers might not be as acute if the ACA worked as originally designed. Highmark is a pacesetter in its field, according to a medical practice consultant who helps physicians negotiate contracts with insurers, noting that the insurer has a reputation for dealing very aggressively with physicians. If this is like everything else, others will follow suit.

Richard Wolffe: 'Desperate' Republicans Failed to Persuade Public That Obama's an 'Un-American…Freak'
By Tom Johnson | August 14, 2016 3:20 PM EDT
Former MSNBC pundit Wolffe is now a columnist for the U.S. edition of the left-wing British newspaper The Guardian. This past Tuesday, he declared that "we already have a winner in the 2016 election…Someone the pundits wrote off long ago…An unconventional politician… His name is Barack Obama. And he can thank the freak show that is Donald Trump's Republican party for restoring his stature as a unifying, national leader with a moderated and mature approach to a complex and unstable world."
VIDEO MSNBC's Wolffe Hypes Hillary 'Equal Pay' Ad, Fails to Note She Paid Male Staffers at State More Than Women
By Ken Shepherd | October 28, 2015 3:41 PM EDT
During a segment on MSNBC Tuesday evening devoted to the question of whether Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) has engaged in sexist criticisms of Democratic presidential primary opponent Hillary Clinton, anchor Richard Wolffe played for his audience a Clinton campaign ad centered on the issue of "equal pay," underscoring how the former first lady is running on feminist themes to fire up female Democratic voters in New Hampshire and Iowa.
Nowhere in the segment, however, did Wolffe -- or his panelists feminist writer Amanda Marcotte and Democratic strategist Tara Dowdell -- note that there's evidence that Clinton, both as a senator and as secretary of state, paid her male staffers substantially more than her female ones.
VIDEO MSNBC Hits 'Islamophobic' Conservative's 'Dog Whistle Politics'
By Scott Whitlock | October 20, 2015 5:23 PM EDT
Liberal MSNBC journalist Richard Wolffe on Monday complained of conservative "islamophobia" in Canada. Previewing that day's election results, he said of Prime Minister Stephen Harper: "...Millions of voters are heading to the polls in Canada today where one of the leading contenders is facing accusations of using islamophobia and dog whistle politics."
VIDEO MSNBC's Alter Suggests Bush to Blame for Not Preventing 9/11 Attacks
By Brad Wilmouth | October 18, 2015 5:21 PM EDT
Appearing as a panel member on Sunday's Up show on MSNBC, Bloomberg View columnist and MSNBC political analyst Jonathan Alter, picking up on what he called "one of Donald Trump's great contributions to this campaign," contended President Bush deserved blame for not stopping the 9/11 attacks as he recounted a vague warning from August 2001 that Osama bin Laden wanted to attack the U.S. He further accused the "Bush people" of "Orwellian, deceptive, historically amnesiatic thinking."
VIDEO MSNBC Calls Hillary's Comments on Emails and Trump 'Feisty and Funny'
By Mark Finkelstein | August 15, 2015 9:19 AM EDT
How about "angry and lame?" After playing a clip of Hillary in Iowa yesterday in which she addressed the email scandal and took a shot at Donald Trump, MSNBC's Richard Wolffe, sitting in for Steve Kornacki, called her comments "feisty and funny."
Have a look and judge for yourself. There's a difference between feisty and flat-out angry. As for funny, Rodney Dangerfield can rest in peace. Hillary's delivery was wooden. The funniest thing she said was a bit of unintentional humor. Speaking of the email scandal, Clinton claimed "I won't play politics with the national security." Right. Protecting her personal politics was what having her own server was all about.
MSNBC's Barro: Republicans 'Come Off As Sort of Nasty' On Immigration Issues
By Connor Williams | August 6, 2014 5:35 PM EDT
In a discussion about Rand Paul's presidential chances on MSNBC's The Last Word, a panel featuring Josh Barro and Richard Wolffe managed to hit Republicans for being anti-immigrant while also accusing Paul and conservatives – not the Obama administration – of misleading on Benghazi. Paul has received media criticism for supposedly fleeing a dinner with Rep. Steve King when the Iowa Republican was approached by two so-called "Dreamers" regarding his opposition to the President's DACA program. Paul says he got up from lunch to conduct a pre-arranged interview with reporters a few feet away.
The New York Times's Barro, who recently caused a stir for suggesting on Twitter that socially conservative attitudes need to be ruthlessly "stamped out," had unkind things to say about those who support more border security as well. He whined that "so much of the Republican base...is just very strongly anti-immigration." He elaborated further on the subject: "And when Republicans talk about these immigration issues, they come off as sort of nasty." In Barroland, it's "nasty" to want the President to enforce the nation's immigration laws, but perfectly civil to daydream about society blackballing social conservatives for their religious beliefs.

Lawrence O'Donnell Falsely Claims Republicans Want to Repeal Immigration Law Protecting Children From Sex Trafficking
By Connor Williams | July 24, 2014 1:15 PM EDT
On the July 23 edition of The Last Word, in an apparent effort to demonize conservatives as being uninterested in protecting children who were victims of sex trafficking, Lawrence O'Donnell deliberately misinterpreted the Republican position on the 2008 immigration law signed by President Bush.
O'Donnell played a clip of Congressman Mo Brooks (R-Alabama) expressing his support for sending illegal immigrant children back to their home countries. Brooks elaborated further by saying, "Now, if in fact some are, for example, being trafficked for slavery or sex purposes, that's a different issue." Despite this clear statement, the host of The Last Word claimed that "one of the positions that these Republicans are holding is that they want to repeal the law that President Bush signed, which is about protecting children from sex trafficking. So they want to be on record as not wanting to protect children from this kind of sex trafficking." [MP3 audio here; video below]
MSNBC's Wolffe Suggests Obama Likes 'Intellectually Rigorous' and 'Satisfying Challenge' of World Chaos
By Brad Wilmouth | June 25, 2014 7:09 AM EDT
On Tuesday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC, during a segment about foreign policy challenges involving Russia and the turmoil in the Middle East, MSNBC.com Executive Editor Richard Wolffe oddly suggested that President Obama finds it to be a "satisfying challenge" because it is "intellectually rigorous" to deal with such substantial foreign policy problems.
He also not surprisingly took a jab at former President Bush, blaming him for the chaos in the Middle East, and asserted that "there's a lot of cleanup there."
Host O'Donnell wondered about what things are like inside the White House as he posed:
MSNBC's Wolffe Contradicted by NBC As He Wrongly Claims No Al-Qaeda in Iraq Before Invasion
Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC.com executive editor Richard Wolffe mocked former Vice President Dick Cheney for his recent criticism of President Obama, and inaccurately claimed that "there was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq" before Cheney "led the decision to invade Iraq."
After dismissing Cheney as being in his "last throes," Wolffe recalled: "Let's just revisit a little bit of history. Before Dick Cheney led the decision to invade Iraq, and led the disastrous occupation of Iraq, there was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq. He allowed Al-Qaeda to get a foothold in Iraq."
Slobbering Love Affair: MSNBC Gushes Over Hillary Interview
By Connor Williams | June 6, 2014 1:25 PM EDT
Continuing their slobbering love affair with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, MSNBC fawned over the answers Clinton gave in a, wait for it, People magazine interview.
Now with Alex Wagner guest host Richard Wolffe and the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart literally went over part of the interview sentence by sentence, gushing over Hillary's ability to connect with potential voters. In their eyes, Hillary could do no wrong; every single word served a higher purpose, that being her future political aspirations. According to Wolffe, Hillary's responses were like "poetry, I tell you." Wolffe highlighed Hillary's alleged ability to relate her concussion to the needs of the American people, saying [MP3 audio here; video below]:
MSNBC's Wolffe: Sen. Lindsey Graham 'Auditioning for... House of Cards' by Pressing Clinton on Benghazi
By Jackie Seal | May 20, 2014 2:39 PM EDT
MSNBC guest host Ari Melber devoted significant attention on Monday night's The Last Word to shielding potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton from scrutiny, both on questions about her health and on her record as President's Obama's first-term secretary of state.
As part of that effort, Melber and two panelists tackled recent comments by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) regarding Mrs. Clinton's handling of the Benghazi fiasco. Melber lamented that Graham was heretofore a member of the "serious wing" of the Republican Party who is flushing that down the drain in the interest in going down "what Jon Stewart called the Brainghazi rabbit hole to pull at her health in this theory."
MSNBC's Melber Mocks 'Flat Earth' Rubio on Global Warming
By Paul Bremmer | May 15, 2014 4:25 PM EDT
One day after Chris Hayes suggested that global warming skepticism should disqualify a person from holding public office, another MSNBC primetime host attempted to ridicule those who doubt the science. This time, it was Ari Melber, who has been guest-hosting The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell for several weeks now. On Wednesday's show, after playing a clip of President Obama mocking skeptics as members of the "Flat Earth society," Melber sneered, "It seems like if you want to be a serious contender for the 2016 Republican nomination, you have to be unserious about a lot of things, and potentially a member of that Flat Earth society."
Melber was referring specifically to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and rolled out a clip of Rubio telling ABC's Jonathan Karl that he doubts the science of global warming because "our climate is always changing."

I had an interesting issue today where a customer wanted a redirect moved. In cPanel I went to Site Management -> Redirects, and clicked remove. It appeared successful but the redirect worked. I opened another browser and it still worked so I checked and it appeared no matter how many times I attempted to remove it, the redirect was still listed in cPanel.
I eventually removed the line from the users .htaccess and the redirect went away and no longer populated in the list. I was curious as to why this happened? I did not see anything in the cPanel error log. Anyone ever see this before?
What permissions are on the .htaccess?
.htaccess is 644 and user/group is owned by the username for the account.
Not a big deal I will notify cPanel support for an explanation or at least let them be aware.
Another thought came to mind. Did you look at the .htaccess first? perhaps the entry was in their twice? Or the user added it manually?

Sokolovsky on Nymburk: The coach did not sit down for the players, I drew a bold line
Maybe it should have been another season where Nymburk would have a relatively easy run to the title. Already the nineteenth in a row. However, today the basketball community knows that if the Central Bohemians defend their title, it will be the most difficult path in many years. Ladislav Sokolovsky is trying to bring his former player, coach and sporting director back to the top of the club.
With Nymburk, he won eleven titles as a player, then one Friday from afar watched another collection of championship cups in the magement of the club. But now even for the Czech hegemon, poorer times have come. Latvian coach Roberts Stelmahers broke his teeth in the Czech pool after his summer visit. Even some summer parishes were not crowned with success, but on the contrary, those who led the team gradually left. When will Nymburk return to his best results?
Four defeats in last six competitive games, three of them in the league. How to get out of it?
"Hard work. Otherwise it won't work. No one wants to make excuses, but already at the beginning of the season, Kamau Stokes suffered a long-term injury that should have cost dearly and then affect you. Then the departures of key players Mark Klassen and Gerel Simmons, who the contract stated that they could leave if they were relegated from the Champions League We can blame ourselves for their departure without progressing in the Champions League and right now there are no options on the market like in the summer At the same time we are let down by the fact that we cannot assert ourselves in a gradual attack, as we used to in Nymburk."
You moved from the position of sporting director to the position of coach of the "A" team after the departure of Roberts Stelmachers. What does this mean for you persolly?
"Coach Stelmahers was a quick decision after Alexander Sekulich left Russia. The coach is not the only one to blame for the poor start of the season

Proty es el nombre de dos personajes ficticios extraterrestres en el Universo DC Comics. El Proty original apareció por primera vez en Adventure Comics #308 (mayo de 1963), mientras que el segundo Proty debutó en Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #72 (octubre de 1963).

Biografía ficticia de los personajes
El origen de la raza de Proty se contó en Adventure Comics #334. Muchos siglos atrás una raza llamada los Llorn colonizaron un planeta en el sistema Antares que estaba habitado por criaturas pacíficas. Ambas razas vivieron en armonía hasta que una estrella que pasó cerca del planeta alteró el balance ecológico del planeta. Los Llorn fueron forzados a evacuar el planeta, no sin antes usar su avanzada tecnología para mutar a los nativos del planeta en una especie de burbujas protoplásmicas que podían cambiar de formas para adaptarse al entorno.

Proty I fue rescatado de un cazador de extraterrestres por la Legión de Super-Héroes y adoptado como mascota por el legionario Camaleón. La afectuosa criatura prueba ser de mucha utilidad en la Legión, y se hace muy cercana a Saturna ya que sus habilidades telepáticas les permite comunicarse entre ellos.

La Legión finalmente encuentra una forma de revivir a su fallecido compañero Relámpago cuando los científicos del mundo de Mon-El desarrollaron una máquina que usa los relámpagos para transferir vida de una persona a otra, aunque desafortunadamente el "donante" muere en el proceso. Los legionarios deciden que el azar de la caída de los relámpagos decidirá quién muere para revivirlo. Pero cuando Proty lee en la mente de Saturna que esta va a usar una varilla superconductora para asegurarse de sacrificar su propia vida para revivirlo, Proty la engaña para que la siga a una cueva donde esta se pierde. Proty, adoptando la forma de Saturna, toma el lugar de esta y sacrifica su propia vida.

Proty es reemplazado por Proty II, otro miembro de la misma raza. Proty II luego ingresa a la Legión de Super-Mascotas.

Tras un malentendido entre las dos Legiones, las Super-Mascotas fueron obligadas a dejar el sistema solar, pero Proty II se infiltró en la Legión disfrazado como Bloque, un aspirante al grupo. El malentendido pronto se arregló, y Proty II regresó a La Tierra junto a sus compañeros.

En una historia de comienzos de la década de 1980, se cuenta que Proty II se lanzó a una carrera como fotógrafo profesional y fue contratado por la Legión para hacer sus retratos oficiales. En este punto aparentemente ya no se lo considera una mascota, sino un ser independiente con todos los derechos civiles que disfrutan tanto humanos como toda especie extraterrestre en La Tierra.

En una historia post-Crisis se revela que en realidad el Proty original no murió tratando de salvar a Relámpago sino que su consciencia fue transferida al cuerpo de Garth Ranzz, y Proty en secreto vivió la vida como Garth a partir de ese punto ya que el verdadero Garth nunca revivió.

Post-Hora Cero
En la continuidad de la Legión post-Hora Cero, Proty es miembro de la raza proteana, enviada a atacar La Tierra cuando la Legión se enfrentaba a los Cinco Fatales. Los miembros civiles de la Legión se las arreglaron para destruir a todos menos a uno de los proteanos, que fue adoptado como mascota por Lori Morning y llamado "Proty".

Poderes y habilidades
Proty I y II son masas cambia-formas de protoplasma capaces de tomar la forma de cualquier objeto, aunque esto no hace que adquieran todas sus propiedades. Por ejemplo, aunque puedan tomar la forma de Superboy, no pueden obtener sus super-poderes. Ambos Protys tienen un nivel bajo de habilidades telepáticas, lo que les permite leer los pensamientos e incluso tomar la forma del objeto que determinada persona tiene en mente. Proty II eventualmente supo cómo hacer una lengua funcional y laringe, lo que le permitió aprender a hablar; Proty I nunca desarrolló esta habilidad. Ninguno de los Proty necesita aire para respirar, y pueden vivir en el vacío del espacio.
