3 Big Movies on the Small Screen
by Tim Hill
Lexington, KY - Normally in this column I focus on films that play on the big screen. But the efforts of one TV network-HBO-to produce movies for the small screen has yielded some truly spectacular results. The quality of these pictures rivals anything you'll find in your neighborhood theater. Three I've seen lately deserve special mention.
This seven-hour miniseries on one of the nation's forgotten founding fathers premiered on HBO last March. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by David McCullough, it chronicled the life and times of America's second president (Paul Giamatti) and his wife, Abigail (Laura Linney).
The birth of the United States was not a foregone conclusion. It could just as easily never have happened. The players were flesh-and-blood men and, in the case of Abigail, women who could disagree violently, struggle mightily over the issue of independence, but ultimately put their lives on the line for the cause of freedom.
Adams is a fascinating choice to be the centerpiece of the story. The movie brings to life this man of integrity and great passion who could also be egotistical and abrasive. He was not a larger-than-life icon like Washington or an aristocratic elite like Jefferson, but he looms large in our history.
This is a film of vivid detail. Mob violence, primitive medical care, disease, filth, hunger, heat and cold are all portrayed with gritty realism. The acting, from top to bottom, is superb. Giamatti, Linney, Tom Wilkinson as Ben Franklin, Stephen Dillane as Jefferson-all are at the top of their game. David Morse creates a striking George Washington, who literally and figuratively towers over his contemporaries.
The final disc of the series features an engrossing documentary, "David McCullough: Painting with Words." It follows McCullough's journey to bring the Adams story to the printed page, and also shows how faithful the film was to his commitment to history as something you not only understand but also feel.
At the recent Emmys, "John Adams" received 23 nominations and won 13 awards, the most ever won by any program in a single year, and they were well deserved. Seven hours may be quite a commitment, but I highly recommend renting "John Adams." I think you'll find it rich and fascinating-well worth your time.
Recount
A much more recent historical event, in this case the contested presidential election in Florida in 2000, is the basis for another well-crafted HBO film. You may feel, as I certainly did going in, that watching a replay of that event would be like reliving a nightmare. But the movie is effective precisely for that reason. We know how it's going to turn out, but "Recount" manages to make the drama and the suspense achingly real.
Credit director Jay Roach and writer Danny Strong for artfully blending actual news footage with powerful acting by Kevin Spacey, Tom Wilkinson, Dennis Leary and Laura Dern as actual figures caught up in the drama. It relies on transcripts of legal proceedings, stays true to the events and still tells a compelling story.
By exploring the simple act of voting, "Recount" gets at the essence of democracy. The vote is so basic and so necessary to the functioning of our society. When the election process breaks down, due to human or technological error, deliberate or accidental, the results can be catastrophic.
Clearly, the film is unambiguous in concluding that the 2000 presidential election was hijacked in Florida-that for two months in the fall of 2000, our electoral system went beyond occasionally flawed to totally off the rails. But those who choose not to see it for partisan reasons will miss a stirring piece of filmmaking.
In 1942, a bunch of raw Army recruits went through basic training at Camp Toccoa in Georgia to prepare for parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe. They were the men of Easy Company, 101st Airborne, and their story became legendary. It was the basis for the best-selling book by Stephen Ambrose, which took these young men from basic training through D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, to Germany and finally to Eagle's Nest, Hitler's hideout in the Bavarian Alps.
HBO and executive producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks fashioned this saga into one of the most compelling historical dramas ever captured on film. It initially aired in 2001 and among its many awards were six Emmys, including one for outstanding miniseries.
It's available for rental and, like "John Adams," it requires a bit of commitment to watch all 10 hour-long chapters. But it's a fiercely faithful account of soldiers who were present at some of the most critical moments of the war.
Friendships are forged and then as quickly shattered by arbitrary bullets, shrapnel, grenades or artillery shells. There is no sugarcoating the effects of a close-in grenade explosion, or the terror of bleeding to death on the battlefield, or the bone-chilling agony of the winter in the foxholes at Bastogne.
The film focuses on Maj. Richard Winters (Damian Lewis), Capt. Lewis Nixon (Ron Livingston) and a host of other real-life heroes of Easy Company. If anything, the lone failing of "Band" is that the cast is so large it's easy to lose track and fail to bond with the characters.
"Band of Brothers" sets a new standard for war movies. It reportedly was made for $125 million, making it the most expensive miniseries ever. And because it is based on first-person accounts, it strives to be an accurate reenactment of actual events. Sometimes painfully so. Courage is on display alongside tragic blunders, heroes and villains are not always clearly identified by their uniforms, and the best laid plans can be sabotaged by the most random of events.
You may not feel like fighting World War II all over again. But like "John Adams," "Band of Brothers" rewards the viewer who sticks with it. And HBO is to be commended for undertaking-and pulling off-this film achievement.

1.Allow us to mark things in our inventory as junk. This is a key component in our ability to manage our inventory.
2.Allow us to key bind on our controller. Switching weapons requires you to take you thumb off the left joystick. A huge no no IMO.
3.Make it easier to add people to your guild. As of right now the only way we can add people to my guild is by manually entering in their gamer tag. It would be so much easier if we could do this from our friends list or as one of the interact options.
I'm adding a few things suggested by more friends'comments below.
1.Combat cloud. I want to see how much damage I do and if my abilities crit. More importantly, I want to see a numerical value representing how much health enemies have. Its a little awkward to fire a dark flare at someone and then run for my life BC their health didn't move.
2.Allow my horse to run while I peak at my map. If I'm running when I pull up my map allow me to keep holding my left stick forward and navigate with my right stick.
3.Show character names as opposed to gamer tags and PSNs. Personally, I'm OK with how it stands now. However, I understand that many players would rather be addressed in character rather than by a gamer tag they created 5 years ago.
4.Display all group members in a way similar to the crown. My guild has been finding a way around this by appointing the person were trying to find to group leader. I understand that in large groups this can be a little annoying but small groups of four should be tagged.

Remove The Uncertainty
Full text of the Lecture delivered by Hon'ble Mr. Justice Markandey Katju, Judge, Supreme Court of India - On Contempt Of Court : The Need For A Fresh Look -on 17th January, 2007 at Indian Society Of International Law, New Delhi
Markandey Katju	08 February 2007

The topic of Contempt of Court often comes up for discussion and comment. Some talk of reforming the Law of Contempt, others suggest abolishing this power in Courts altogether, etc. There are a large number of books and articles on the subject.
The attempt here is to give the subject a new look by going into the Fundamental Principles. The basic principle in a democracy is that the people are supreme. It follows that all authorities, whether Judges, Legislators, Ministers, Bureaucrats, etc. are servants of the people.
Thus, the preamble to the Constitution of India states :
"We, The People of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens :
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;
IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixty day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION."
These words emphasize the republican and democratic character of our Constitution, and show that all power ultimately stems from the People.
Once this concept of popular sovereignty is kept firmly in mind it becomes obvious that the people of India are the masters and all authorities in India (including the Courts) are their servants. Surely the master has the right to criticize the servant if the servant does not act or behave properly. It would logically seem to follow that in a democracy the people have the right to criticize the Judges. Why then, it may be asked, should there be a Contempt of Courts Act which to some extent prevents people from criticizing Judges or doing other things which are regarded as Contempt of Court? This is a question which calls for a close examination, and this is what is attempted here.
The Constitution has no doubt been created by the people. But this instrument has itself created the Courts, which means that the people in their wisdom realized that there must be a forum (or fora) where disputes between the people could be resolved and grievances of the people redressed peacefully.
It is in the nature of things that in every society there will be disputes between, and grievances of, the people. If there is no forum to resolve these disputes and redress these grievances peacefully, they will be resolved violently with bombs, guns, knives and lathis. Hence the judiciary is a great safety valve. By giving a hearing to a person having a grievance, and by giving a verdict on the basis of settled legal principles, the Court pacifies that person, otherwise the grievance may erupt violently. The judiciary thus maintains peace in society, and no society can do without it.
Looking at it from this angle one can immediately realize that in a democracy the purpose of the Contempt of Court power can only be to enable the Court to function. The power is not to prevent the master (the people) from criticizing their servant (the Judges) if the latter do not function properly or commit misconduct.
Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution gives the right of freedom of speech and expression to all citizens. But Articles 129 and 215 give the power of Contempt of Court to the higher judiciary, and this power limits the freedom granted by Article 19(1)(a). How are these two provisions to be reconciled?
In my opinion once it is accepted that India is a democracy, and that in a democracy the people are supreme, the reconciliation can only be affected by treating the right of the citizens of free speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a) to be primary, and the power of contempt to be subordinate. In other words, the people are free, and have the right to criticize Judges, but they should not go to the extent of making the functioning of the judiciary impossible or extremely difficult.
Thus in my opinion the test to determine whether an act amounts to Contempt of Court or not is this : does it make the functioning of the Judges impossible or extremely difficult? If it does not, then it does not amount to Contempt of Court, even if it is harsh criticism.
Much of our Contempt Law is a hangover from British rule. But under British rule India was not free and democratic, and the people were not supreme, rather it was the British rulers who were supreme. Also there was no Constitution at that time containing provisions like Article 19(1)(a). How then can the law of those days be applicable today?
As a Judge in three High Courts (Allahabad, Madras and Delhi) I would often tell the lawyers in open Court that they could criticize me as much as they liked, inside the Court or outside it, to their heart's content, but I would not initiate proceedings for Contempt of Court. Either the criticism was correct, in which case I deserved it, or it was false in which case I would ignore it. Some people deliberately try to provoke the Judge to initiate Contempt of Court proceedings, their whole game being to get publicity. The best way to deal with such persons would be to ignore them, and thus deny them the publicity which they are really seeking. I would often say in Court "Contempt power is a `Brahmastra' to be used only on a `patra' (deserving person), and I do not regard you as a `patra'."
I also said that the only situation where I would have to take some action was if my functioning as a Judge was made impossible e.g. if someone jumps up on to the dais of the Court and runs away with the Court file, or keeps shouting and screaming in Court, or threatens a party or a witness. After all I have to function if I wish to justify my salary.
In a speech delivered on 1.12.2001 in Jaipur on the topic "The Law of Contempt – is it being stretched too far?" The doyen of the Indian Bar, Mr. Fali Nariman, said that the offence of `scandalizing the Court' is a mercurial jurisdiction in which there are no rules and no constraints. I may quote an entire long passage from this speech:
"It was Jeremy Bentham (the theoretical jurist) who characterized the Common Law as "Dog Law." "When your dog does anything you want to break him off", he wrote in 1823, "you wait till he does it, and then beat him for it. This is the way you make laws for your dog, and this is the way judges make laws for you and me."
"The law of contempt of court in Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence both in England in the past, and in India in the past and present, has been no more, no less than "Dog-Law". There are no rules, no constraints – no precise circumstances when the administration of justice is brought into contempt. The judgments are strewn with pious platitudes that give little guidance to the editor, to the commentator, to lawyers, and to members of the public: this part of the law of contempt though necessary, is a standing threat to free expression. It leaves too much to the discretion of the particular judge (or judges). And at times decisions do give rise to a strange feeling that the status of the person who scandalizes the Court perhaps did affect the ultimate result.
"In 1988 a sitting Cabinet Minister made wide and improper remarks against Judges of the Supreme Court. He said
"Zamindars like Golaknath (he was speaking of the Golaknath Case) evoked a sympathetic chord nowhere in the whole country expect the Supreme Court of India. And the bank magnates, the representatives of the elitist culture of this country ably supported by industrialists, the beneficiaries of independence, got higher compensation by the intervention of the Supreme Court in Cooper's case (1970). Anti social elements, FERA violators, bride burners and a whole hoard of reactionaries have found their haven in the Supreme Court."
"The minister then went on to say that because the Judges of the highest Court had their "unconcealed sympathy for the haves" (as opposed to the have nots) they had interpreted the expression "compensation" in the manner they did: clearly attributing motives.
"And yet a Bench of two Judges (in Duda's case AIR 1988 SC 1208) exonerated him. Let me read to you what the Bench said :
"Bearing in mind the trend in the law of contempt (they were speaking of the liberal trend)- established by the Judgment of Justice Krishna Iyer in Mulgaokar's case (AIR 1978 SC 727), the speech of the Minister has to be read in its proper perspective, and when so read it did not bring the administration of justice into disrepute or impair the administration of justice. The Minister is not guilty of contempt of the Court."
"Admirable. Laudable. Free speech upheld. But one cannot help wondering whether their Lordships would have been quite as liberal if the criticism had been made by a less important personage than a Cabinet Minister.
"Again when an important personage, Mr. Mohd. Yunus, Chairman of the Trade Fair Authority of India — known at the time to be very close to the Prime Minister — had criticized a judgment delivered by a Supreme Court Judge in the Jehovah Witness' case, holding that the singing of the National Anthem for a particular sect. of Christians was not compulsory, Mr. Mohd. Yunus said this Judge (Justice Chinnappa Reddy) "has no right to be called either an Indian or a Judge."
"An Association of individuals called the Conscientious Group filed a petition seeking a direction that Mr. Yunus should be hauled up for contempt. But close colleagues of Justice Chinnappa Reddy daily sitting with him suddenly found themselves powerless to even call for an explanation from Mr. Mohd. Yunus — on the technical ground that when the Attorney-General was approached by the petitioners to give his sanction he had declined, and the Solicitor-General had also demurred, vide Conscientious Group vs. Mohammed Yunus and Ors., AIR 1987 SC 1451.
"They know that the power to issue notice suo motu for any contempt was plenary (not dependant on the fiat of the Attorney-General or Solicitor-General) — yet they chose not to invoke it even though a Sitting Judge of the Supreme Court had been described as a person not fit to be an Indian, not fit to be a Judge.
"Yet in a later case (also reported) a not-so-important litigant was held guilty of contempt for saying that a Judge was anti-national. When a Bench of the Supreme Court of India hearing a miscellaneous application said that it was inclined to think that a particular case should go before a Bench, which had earlier passed some orders, an inconsequential member of the public Mohd. Zahir Khan (the litigant) addressed the Court in a loud tone thus : "Either he is an anti-national or the Judges are anti-nationals."
"A notice was issued and the litigant was found guilty of contempt of court and made to suffer imprisonment for one month, vide Mohd. Zahir Khan vs. Vijai Singh & Ors. 1992 Supp.(2) SCC 72. These examples are given not to deride our Judges or criticize previous decisions. It is only to illustrate very graphically that the true nature of this aspect of contempt jurisdiction : is mercurial, unpredictable capable of being exercised (and therefore in fact exercised) differently in different cases and by different Judges in the same Court.
"And the disturbing trend persist."
The criticism of Mr. Nariman about the uncertain state of affairs regarding the Law of Contempt appears to be justified.
To give an example, in P.N. Duda vs. P. Shiv Shanker AIR 1988 SC 1208, the speech delivered by the then Union Law Minister Mr. P. Shiv Shanker in substance was similar to the one delivered by the then Chief Minister of Kerala Mr. Nambudiripad. However, Mr. Nambudiripad was held to be guilty of contempt of Court (vide AIR 1970 SC 2015) but Mr. Shiv Shanker was not. Is this not uncertainty in the law?
It may be noted that Mr. Nambudiripad in his speech had accused the Judges of being biased in favour of rich people and against the poor. In substance this was the same allegation which was made by Mr. Shiv Shanker (extract of whose speech is referred to above).
Mr. Nariman and others are perfectly correct in saying that there should be certainty in the law, and not uncertainty. After all, the citizen should know where he stands.
The uncertainty in the Law of Contempt of Court was, in my opinion, for two reasons
(1) In the Contempt of Courts Act, 1952 there was no definition of `contempt' and
(2) Even when a definition was introduced by the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 (vide Section 2) there was no definition of what constitutes scandalizing the Court, or what prejudices, or interferes with, the course of justice. What could be regarded as scandalous earlier may not be regarded as scandalous today and what could earlier be regarded as prejudicing or interfering with the course of justice may not be so regarded today.
In this paper it is sought to remove this uncertainty in the Law of Contempt, and this calls for a deep analysis of the subject.
The view about the contempt power was first stated in England by Wilmot J. in 1765 in a judgment which was in fact never delivered (R. vs. Almon). In that opinion Wilmot J. observed that this power in the Courts was for vindicating their authority, and it was coeval with their foundation and institution, and was a necessary incident to a Court of Justice. The above dictum was thereafter followed by successive Courts not only in England but also in other countries.
Thus the power of Contempt was said to be required for maintaining the dignity and vindicating the authority of the Court.
But whence comes this authority and dignity of the Court? In England it came from the King. The judicial function is a sovereign function. The King was the fountain of justice, and in earlier times he would himself decide cases. It was only subsequently when the king had many other functions (military, administrative, etc.) that he delegated judicial functions to his delegate, who began to be called Judges.
Thus in a monarchy the Judge really exercises the delegated functions of the King, and for this he requires dignity and majesty as a King must have, to get obedience from his subjects.
The situation becomes totally different in a democracy in which it is the people, and not the King, who are supreme. Here the Judges get authority delegated to them by the people, and not by a king.
We may analyze this a little deeper. In a monarchy it is the King which is the superior entity, while the people, being his subjects, are the inferior entity. Since the Judges are really performing the delegated functions of the King, they need the majesty and aura which the King needed to secure obedience from his subjects.
In a democracy, on the other hand, it is the people who are supreme, and therefore they are the superior entity, while all State authorities (including Judges) are inferior entities, being the servants of the people.
Hence in a democracy there is no need for Judges to vindicate their authority or display majesty or pomp. Their authority will come from the public confidence, and this in turn will be an outcome of their own conduct, their integrity, impartiality, learning and simplicity. No other vindication is required in a democracy by Judges, and there is no need for them to display majesty and authority.
The view expressed above is in fact accepted now even in England. As observed by Lord Salmon in AG vs. BBB (1981) AC 303 = (1980) 3 All ER 161 (170):
"The description `Contempt of Court' no doubt has a historical basis, but it is nonetheless misleading. Its object is not to protect the dignity of the Courts but to protect the administration of justice."
This is precisely the thesis which is sought to propounded in this paper. The contempt power in a democracy is only to enable the Court to function, and not to vindicate and maintain its authority and dignity.
In Almon's case, to which we have already referred, the defendant had published a pamphlet accusing Lord Mansfield, the Lord Chief Justice of having acted `officiously, arbitrarily and illegally'. Wilmot J. observed that this:
"excites in the minds of the people a general dissatisfaction with all judicial determinations, and indisposes their minds to obey them; and whenever men's allegiance to the laws is so fundamentally shaken, it is the most fatal and most dangerous obstruction of justice, and, in my opinion, calls for a more rapid and immediate redress than any other obstruction whatsoever; not for the sake of the Judges, as private individuals, but because they are the channels by which the King's justice is conveyed to the people. To be impartial, and to be universally thought so, are both absolutely necessary."
(Vide Miller's Contempt of Court 3rd Edition page 568)
Wilmot J's opinion was expressed in 1765. Can it be said to be the Law of Contempt of Court in England today? Hardly. Even though there is no written Constitution in England and hence no Fundamental Right like Article 19(1)(a), the old view of Contempt of Court is totally changed today even in England, and now the view is that of Lord Salmon, as mentioned above.
Justice is not 'a cloistered virtue', said Lord Atkin, and must suffer the scrutiny and outspoken comments of ordinary men. In fact exposure to criticism only strengthens the judiciary, far from weakening it.
As observed by Lord Denning in R vs. Commissioner of Police (1968) 2 QB 150:
"Let me say at once that we will never use this jurisdiction as a means to uphold our own dignity. That must rest on surer foundations. Nor will we use it to suppress those who speak against us. We do not fear criticism, nor do we resent it. For there is something far more important at stake. It is no less than freedom of speech itself.
It is the right of every man, in Parliament or out of it, in the press or over the broadcast, to make fair comment, even outspoken comment, on matters of public interest. Those who comment can deal faithfully with all that is done in a court of justice. They can say that we are mistaken, and our decisions erroneous, whether they are subject to appeal or not. All we would ask is that those who criticize us will remember that, from the nature of our office, we cannot reply to their criticisms.

Curated Summary
Encodes the peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 receptor that facilitates peroxisomal protein translocation. It recognizes proteins with the PTS1 consensus sequence (tripeptide SKL or a conserved variant) at the extreme C terminus. The protein has several domains, including C-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat motifs which act in binding the C-terminal 'SKL' targeting signal. The mechanism of transport has been worked out in other organisms: The receptor recognizes and binds cytosolic PTS1-containing proteins. The PEX5-PTS1 complex binds a PEX14/PEX13 receptor complex at the peroxisome membrane and is translocated into the peroxisome matrix in a process dependent on PEX2,PEX10, and PEX12. In the peroxisome matrix, PEX5 releases its cargo and is recycled to the cytosol in a process dependent on PEX1, PEX4, PEX6 and PEX22. It is also involved, in conjunction with PEX7, in PTS1- and PTS2-dependent peroxisomal protein import. RNAi experiments suggest that PEX5 is necessary for the maintenance of both glyoxysomal and leaf peroxisomal functions.

A: you are resetting the window.onload to another value when you assign it to a different function twice. The simplest solution would be to do the following:
window.onload = function() {
    document.getElementById("i29").ondblclick = i29;
    document.getElementById("i3").ondblclick = i3;
}

Year in Review: Paying tribute to kasi king Prokid
27 December 2018 - 08:00 By Jessica Levitt
ProKid was just 37 years old when he died.
Image: Masi Losi
This piece written by editor Jessica Levitt paid tribute to hip-hop star ProKid after his death in August. Here, we remember the music icon for his contribution to the entertainment and music industry.
Linda Mkhize was just 37 years old when he died on August 8. A statement from his family said he was with friends when he had a 'severe seizure' and at 8:38pm, after numerous attempts by paramedics to revive him, his line was flat. He was gone.
Born at the Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital Mkhize in Soweto, Mkhize wrote rhymes as a teen and was part of a crew called Saudi Western. It was on Rap Activity Jam on YFM that he got recognised and everything a young hip-hop artist wants appeared to be on the cards: recognition, fortune and fame. In 2005, after releasing his debut album, Heads & Tails, he cemented himself even further as a kasi rap king. He opened shows for Busta Rhymes and 50Cent and as each carefully crafted album was released his name was followed by words like pioneer, iconic and trailblazer.
Still, over time, he had to fight for the recognition that he had worked so hard to get. In an interview with a colleague last year he was vocal about the lack of comaraderie amongst fellow musicians.
"Fuck them all. I learnt just to focus on my music and write more verses."
"I forgot the backstabbing and nonsense and tried to find myself again."
It's not a new narrative. The book of a musician is dominated by chapters of grafting, success, friends, living large, troubled times, no funds, no support, no friends.
Known to many of his fans as ProKid (although he later dropped the Kid and referred to himself as PRO), the musician was working on a comeback. Although, more than the music, it was his family and community that gave him a sense of purpose.
In that same interview where he spoke about backstabbing, he also said his wife and child were his reason to wake up. That he wanted to support people through music and by just "being there."
It's hard to miss the thousands of tributes that have been engulfing social media. Amongst the shock and pain, another familiar storyline: regret. AKA said PRO had changed his life and he wished he had "taken more time to reach out to him."
Regret on our parts as we contemplate our lack of support in various ways. Maybe it wasn't going to a concert. Maybe it was illegally downloading music. Maybe it was simply buying into the new and forgetting the old.
Of course, the question is whether that shadow, that murk, has light. The fact that we're able to have these kind of conversations makes me believe so. Like many around us, we celebrate more in death than in life. That's on us. But that doesn't mean in life, there wasn't light.
"Only you can change yourself," he said in a 2006 interview with Mail & Guardian at the height of his success.

Q: How to monitor microphone volume level? I've found a solution that doesn't work by me:
audio - Monitoring the microphone level with a command line tool in Linux - Super User
https://superuser.com/questions/306701/monitoring-the-microphone-level-with-a-command-line-tool-in-linux
The problem is that they are using Maximum amplitude to detect sound. However its value is always the same by me, no matter whether the recorded audio contains only silence or some sounds. For example:
10 sec of silence (Can be downloaded here: http://denis-aristov.ucoz.com/en/test-mic-silence.wav ):
$ arecord -f S16_LE -D hw:2,0 -d 10 /tmp/test-mic-silence.wav

Scaled by:         2147483647.0
Maximum amplitude:     0.999969
Minimum amplitude:    -1.000000
Midline amplitude:    -0.000015
Mean    norm:          0.202792
Mean    amplitude:     0.009146

RMS     delta:         0.005564
Rough   frequency:           20
Volume adjustment:        1.000

10 sec with some sounds (Can be downloaded here: http://denis-aristov.ucoz.com/en/test-mic-sounds.wav ):
$ arecord -f S16_LE -D hw:2,0 -d 10 /tmp/test-mic-sounds.wav

$ sox -t .wav /tmp/test-mic-sounds.wav -n stat
Samples read:             80000

Maximum amplitude:     0.999969
Minimum amplitude:    -1.000000
Midline amplitude:    -0.000015
Mean    norm:          0.185012
Mean    amplitude:     0.010225
RMS     amplitude:     0.334286
Maximum delta:         1.999969
Minimum delta:         0.000000
Mean    delta:         0.006213
RMS     delta:         0.057844
Rough   frequency:          220
Volume adjustment:        1.000

What is the difference? What values to use for sound detection? Or do I have to set something up because something works wrong?
I've just used another computer (a notebook with a built-in microphone). I've recorded two WMA files (with and without sounds) using Windows "Sound Recorder". Converted them to WAV files using audacity and got the following outputs. Maximum amplitudes differ this time:

Volume adjustment:       34.348

May it be an indication that there are some problems with the microphone on another computer?

A: (Answer based on various comments, as this method seems to be acceptable, and comments are not guaranteed to stay.)
Look at the first recording ("10 secs of silence") in an audio editor, e.g. audacity. You'll see a DC (very low frequency) component when the level goes from 1 at 0 secs to -1 at 1 secs to 0.5 at 1.5 secs, and then falls down to near zero near the end. Did you plug in the mic during that time? If yes, you need to wait ca. 10 seconds before the amplitude settles, then measure. If not, you need to filter out the DC (direct current, that is constant voltage offset) component somehow. sox has several filters you can try.
You can use the sox filters from a shell script without problems. Try e.g. highpass 100, that filters out most of it except for the initial jump.
If filtering out DC components is too much effort, you can also ignore the initial part, and use the remaining part as it is.

The Last Time I Lied (USED PAPERBACK)
By Riley Sager
In this New York Times bestselling thriller from the author of Lock Every Door and Final Girls, a young woman returns to her childhood summer camp to uncover the truth about a tragedy that happened there fifteen years ago.
Two Truths and a Lie. The girls played it all the time in their cabin at Camp Nightingale. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and first-time camper Emma Davis, the youngest of the group. But the games ended the night Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out of the cabin into the darkness. The last she--or anyone--saw of them was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips.
Now a rising star in the New York art scene, Emma turns her past into paintings--massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches that cover ghostly shapes in white dresses. When the paintings catch the attention of Francesca Harris-White, the wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale, she implores Emma to return to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor. Seeing an opportunity to find out what really happened to her friends all those years ago, Emma agrees.
Familiar faces, unchanged cabins, and the same dark lake haunt Nightingale, even though the camp is opening its doors for the first time since the disappearances. Emma is even assigned to the same cabin she slept in as a teenager, but soon discovers a security camera--the only one on the property--pointed directly at its door. Then cryptic clues that Vivian left behind about the camp's twisted origins begin surfacing. As she digs deeper, Emma finds herself sorting through lies from the past while facing mysterious threats in the present. And the closer she gets to the truth about Camp Nightingale and what really happened to those girls, the more she realizes that closure could come at a deadly price.

Extension Office's 'From the Ground Up' program set for Jan. 28
GREEN COVE SPRINGS – January is a wonderful time to walk around our homes and think about our landscapes and consider the possibilities. Maybe this is the year you are going to lessen the maintenance in your landscape, or try for fewer annuals and more perennials, or replace some of the lawn with flower beds, or add plants to bring more color into your winter landscape. So many possibilities!
Why not, spend the day with master gardeners learning about Northeast Florida gardening, and getting ideas to improve your own landscape.
Attendees are sure to see a plant or design idea just waiting to be implemented in their own gardens. And if you are new to Northeast Florida, this is definitely the training for you because lawns and gardens and their care are different here.
Florida Clay County Master Gardeners host a day of education, "From the Ground Up", for the public Friday, Jan. 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Extension Office 2463 State Road 16 West in Green Cove Springs (next to the Fairgrounds).
The event starts with a Master Gardener-guided tour of the Extension Office grounds, showcasing the plants that bring winter color and interest to our gardens, our native plants, and pollinator, succulent and herb gardens.

Winn-Dixie offers COVID-19 vaccines to children 5-11
CLAY COUNTY – In accordance with updated CDC and FDA guidelines, Southeastern Grocers' Winn-Dixie stores will be administering Pfizer vaccines to children ages five to 11 at its in-store pharmacies, upon receipt of vaccine supply.
As a preferred retail partner in the fight against COVID-19, SEG is committed to the safe and equitable distribution of the vaccine to customers in this newly expanded age group in communities throughout the Southeast.
The grocer is offering online appointments, which are preferred, and convenient walk-ups, as available, for Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines to eligible individuals and encourages qualified individuals to visit http://www.frescoymas.com/pharmacy/covid-vaccine, www.harveyssupermarkets.com/pharmacy/covid-vaccine and www.winndixie.com/pharmacy/covid-vaccine for timely updates including available appointments, pharmacy locations, frequently asked questions and guidance to support the health and well-being of the communities they serve. The grocer continues to work diligently to keep appointment availability updated online in real time as additional vaccines are regularly received or due to cancellations.

To take part in the incentive, customers can walk into any SEG in-store pharmacy or make an appointment online to get a flu vaccine, which are free with most insurances, or COVID-19 vaccine and receive a free $10 grocery voucher.

ElderSource Looking for volunteers to call seniors
CLAY COUNTY – The pandemic has underscored how older adults living alone in our area are often more isolated and need a connection to the community and friends. You can help solve this problem without even leaving your home.
ElderSource, a nonprofit organization that works to empower seniors with dignity and independence, is recruiting volunteers for its Caring Connections Telephone Reassurance Program. Caring Connections offers a simple way for someone to make a difference in the life of a homebound older adult.
"It's widely known that many older adults live alone, protecting their independence. However, that doesn't mean they still wouldn't appreciate a call from a friend," said Linda Levin, ElderSource CEO. "Caring Connections offers them a friendly check-in call and gives them the chance to connect with someone beyond their front door."
Caring Connections volunteers are needed immediately with approximately 40 seniors currently waiting to be matched with volunteers. All volunteers are trained, background screened and matched with a special friend. Hours are flexible, as the volunteer and the senior work together to set the days and times convenient for each person to connect by phone.
Volunteers are needed in all seven counties of the ElderSource service area that includes Clay, Baker, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, St. Johns and Volusia.
To learn more about how to be a Caring Connections volunteer to if an older adult would like to be matched with a volunteer, call the ElderSource HelpLine at (904) 391-6699, or email Volunteers@MyElderSource.org.
AARP Foundation now recruiting volunteers for Tax-Aide service
CLAY COUNTY – AARP Foundation Tax-Aide has kicked off volunteer recruitment for its Tax-Aide program, the nation's largest volunteer-run tax preparation service. The program is looking for individuals to volunteer virtually or in-person in a number of roles to provide help to taxpayers.
Northeast Florida has started volunteer recruitment for its Tax-Aide program for the upcoming tax season. It offers free in-person and online tax preparation and assistance to low and moderate-income taxpayers nationwide.
In addition to tax preparation help, volunteers can serve as client facilitators and providers of technical and management assistance. Every level of experience is welcome.
Volunteer tax preparers complete tax preparation training and IRS certification. To learn about our volunteer opportunities, visit aarpfoundation.org/taxaide or call (888) 687-2277. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in coordination with the IRS.
Tax-Aide offers free in-person and online tax preparation and assistance to low- and moderate-income taxpayers nationwide. Because of the complexity of the U.S. tax code, many taxpayers overpay their taxes or turn to paid tax services they cannot afford. Some may forgo filing their taxes and miss out on the credits and deductions they've earned because they are unable to pay for assistance. Tax-Aide volunteers can help by providing necessary services right in their communities.
Volunteers can serve in person or coach taxpayers online or by phone. In addition to tax preparation help, volunteers can serve as client facilitators, providers of technical and management assistance, and interpreters. Volunteer tax preparers complete tax preparation training and IRS certification.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide has grown since its inaugural team of just four volunteers in 1968 and has served more than 68 million taxpayers since its inception. The program has volunteers in every state and now involves more than 36,000 volunteers. This past tax season in Clay County, Tax-Aide volunteers assisted as counselors, virtual coaches, managers and administrators, technologists, and translators, among other valuable roles.

Oak Ridge Boys making May 12 stop at Thrasher-Horne
ORANGE PARK – Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been.
"When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys," says lead singer Duane Allen. "This is the only job I've ever wanted to have."
"Like everyone else in the group," adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, "I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I'm still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream."
The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper "Elvira," as well as "Bobbie Sue," "Dream On," "Thank God For Kids," "American Made," I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes," "Fancy Free," "Gonna Take A Lot Of River" and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. In 2011, they rerecorded a 13th anniversary version of "Elvira" for a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store project.
The group has scored 12 gold, three platinum, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national No. 1 singles and over 30 Top-10 hits.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on May 12. Tickets, which start at $29, are available at thcenter.org.

The following risk factors should be considered before making your investment decision.
Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. If you have any doubts about the suitability of an investment, please contact your financial adviser.
The value of your initial (capital) investment and the income arising from it may fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount you originally invested. This difference will usually be a result of differing buying and selling prices for the fund on the days that you buy and/or sell. Equity investments carry potential for greater returns over the longer term. The volatility of these returns can also be greater.
If the funds hold securities denominated in a currency other than sterling, changes in exchange rates may affect the value of your investment.
Where charges are taken wholly or partly out of a fund's capital, distributable income will be increased at the expense of capital which will either be eroded or future growth constrained.
Investors should read this information and the relevant Simplified Prospectus or Key Investor Information Document before investing in unit trusts/OEICs.
Investment in the securities of smaller and unquoted companies can involve greater risk than is customarily associated with investment in larger, more established companies. In particular, smaller companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent for their management on a smaller number of key individuals. In addition, the market for securities in smaller companies is often less liquid than that for securities in larger companies, bringing with it potential difficulties in acquiring, valuing and disposing of such securities. Proper information for determining their value or the risks to which they are exposed may also not be available.
Some funds will often carry greater risks in return for higher potential rewards. Specialist funds, which invest in specialist markets or small sectors of industry, are likely to carry higher risks than most general funds. Investment in technology related stocks can be more volatile than investment in more established companies. Above average price movements can be expected.
If you start making regular monthly investments in order to save for a specific objective, you should regularly review whether these investments will be sufficient to achieve your objective. You may not achieve your objective if you do not continue to invest regularly with a sufficient amount or if your investments do not appreciate sufficiently.
The unit trusts may invest in smaller companies such as those quoted on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). Investments in smaller company stocks may be less liquid and their performance more volatile than those of larger companies.
The OEIC may invest in smaller companies such as those quoted on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). Investments in smaller company stocks may be less liquid and their performance more volatile than those of larger companies.
Northglen Aggressive (the "Fund") is an unregulated collective investment scheme, the promotion of which in the United Kingdom is restricted by Section 238 of the Financial Services and Markets 2000 (the "Act"). Shares may not be offered or sold in the United Kingdom other than to investors of a kind described in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001, namely: firms authorised to carry on investment business under the Act; and institutional and other investors who have experience of alternative, unregulated investments such as hedge funds.
Distribution of shares in the Fund may be restricted in other jurisdictions and you should satisfy yourself of investment, tax and other relevant requirements of the jurisdiction in which you are domiciled before making any investment. In particular, the Funds have not been registered under the United States Securities Act 1933 or the Investment Company Act 1940 but shares may be sold under a private placement to "qualified purchasers".
Investment is limited to certain types of investors and hedge funds are not generally considered suitable for private investors. You will be asked to read additional risk warnings and confirm your eligibility before being given access to further information on the hedge funds.
Current tax levels and tax treatment will depend on your jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Any tax reliefs mentioned, such as for PEPs, ISAs or VCTs, are those currently available and may therefore change. Their value depends on the circumstances of the individual investor.
ISAs were introduced in April 1999 for an initial 10-year period (up until April 2009). The government reviewed the savings scheme in 2006 and the favourable tax treatment of ISAs has been extended indefinitely. The current limit for ISA investment is £20,000 per tax year.

This is why Saban...
By Todd Aug 26, 2008, 6:09pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: This is why Saban...
...doesn't often allow the media access to his assistants.
Meanwhile in Mobile, Vigor coach Kerry Stevenson was not amused, telling Press-Register columnist Mike Herndon that Koenning "better not come back on this campus."
This is, of course, in response to the brouhaha over Koenning's comments concerning BJ Scott and Julio Jones and their supposed Escalades. I'm willing to take Koenning's word that he was just joking around and didn't mean any harm, but you have to look at the damage done from a few completely foolish comments made in front of the media, which, WTF dude? There is no such thing as "j/k!" or "off the record" with these guys, and you know who knows that? Nick Saban, who has learned a few hard lessons on that front (coonass comments what!) himself and who also knows you can't control what other people say or do so it's best to just simply not put them in a position to embarass you, themselves or the program. And that's what Koenning did, so now his boss is taking heat for it and also has the added burden of mending bridges with a prominent football coach at a powerhouse program in a talent rich part of a state that he makes a recruiting priority. By allowing the media access to his DC, Bowden allowed them to get buddy buddy with him, enough so that he would let his guard down around them and give them some good quotes, and when they get a juicy one that's going to embarass the program, they have no qualms about running with it, because they aren't there to serve the program like the assistant coaches are, they are there to serve their employers and themselves by generating interest in their work, bottom line, and they are not to be trusted. So take a page from the Saban Guide to Media Access and keep your assistants away from the media. If you look like a tyrant, so be it, but at least you aren't taking heat and fixing problems stemming from the actions of others.
...sorry 'bout the things that I had to say...

- Sarah Crowe, Teacher, Ysgol Y Draig, Wales


The ruling Indian National Congress government in Chhattisgarh has found that the previous government in the state headed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Raman Singh diverted funds from several social welfare schemes to the Centre's flagship initiative Ujjwala scheme, according to a report in The Economic Times.
As per Chhattisgarh government's records, the BJP government had diverted Rs 29 crore from a labour department scheme, Rs 212.90 crore from environment cess, Rs 47.08 crore from Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) and Rs 162.38 crore from District Mineral Foundation (DMF) to Ujjawala scheme. As per the guidelines, funds for CAMPA and DMF cannot be diverted for any other purpose.
While CAMPA oversees compensatory afforestation which needs to be done in lieu of diversion of forest land for non-forestry use, DMF looks after the interest of persons and areas affected by mining.
The budgetary allocation made for Ujjwala scheme was Rs 55 crore. Under this scheme, the government provides free LPG cylinders to families below the poverty line.
However, this was not the first time that diversion of DMF funds has been reported from Chhattisgarh. In 2018, the Centre for Science and Environment had pointed out that DMF funds in Chhattisgarh's Korba district were used for building multi-level parking lots and convention centres in towns.
A Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas official told the newspaper that the ministry bears the cost of Rs 1,600 per connection (which includes cylinder, pressure regulator, booklet and safety hose). The remaining has to be borne by the beneficiary. "Chhattisgarh government had told the ministry that it would bear the remaining cost. The Centre is not involved, in any way, on how the state provides the budget," the official added.
In Chhattisgarh, only about 53 percent of Ujjwala beneficiaries come for refills as against the national average of 82.45 percent, the report suggests.
"The Centre set ambitious and unrealistic targets under Ujjwala for the states purely for electoral gains. Under pressure from the Prime Minister, Chhattisgarh government diverted finances from several public schemes to distribute free cylinders," Chhattisgarh Congress Spokesperson Shailesh Nitin Trivedi told the newspaper.

What is COP26 and why is it important?
You know that COP26 thing you've seen in the news but don't actually understand? Well, prepare to get clued up. Here's everything you need to know.
It's that time of the year again when everyone starts talking about this thing called "COP" and you nod along, pretending to know exactly what it is, when really, you don't. Fear not. Although most people may recognise it as the event Greta Thunberg once sailed a boat to, not many could tell you what it's about in great detail either.
To avoid going red-faced at the pub, THE FACE has compiled a useful guide to the upcoming COP26 conference.
What is COP?
COP stands for Conference of the Parties and it's an event where heads of state, politicians, diplomats, journalists and activists meet to discuss all things related to global heating. They're there to debate issues and set emissions targets to try to mitigate the worst of the climate crisis.
The COP summit is held by the United Nations and is attended by the 197 nations that have signed up to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as of 2020.
Why is COP26 important?
This year's conference feels particularly significant, as last year's summit was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which exposed just how unequal current approaches to global catastrophes are. After the 2021 IPCC report, scientists warned that critical decisions have to be made ASAP in order for us to avoid the worst-case climate crisis scenario, because quite simply, we're running out of time.
Where is COP26 being held this year and for how long?
COP26 is taking place in Glasgow, Scotland this year from 31st October to 12th November.
How many people will be attending COP26 this year?
More than 25,000 people are expected to arrive in Glasgow for the climate conference. However, there are concerns over accommodation capacity, as the city can only offer so many hotel suites and Airbnb's. There are reportedly still over 3,000 people looking for somewhere to stay. And some Glasgow landlords are asking for as much as £36,000 to rent a flat for the duration of COP26.
Around 100,000 protesters are also expected to be on the streets of Glasgow for the Global Day For Climate Justice protest taking place on 6th November.
What is actually meant to happen during COP26?
The official COP26 agenda will cover all aspects of how the entire world should be tackling the climate crisis, with two days (1st-2nd November) dedicated to the World Leaders' Summit, during which most goal-setting around emissions happens, and two days at the end of the conference (12th-13th November) to close negotiations. During the in-between period, there will also be specific days dedicated to youth and public empowerment (5th November), as well as discussions about adaptation, loss and damage caused by the climate crisis (8th November), the importance of gender equality (9th November), how to approach the crisis within urban cities (11th November) and many more vital issues.
How often are COPs held?
The first COP took place in 1995 in Berlin and, since then, they have usually been held annually.
The last COP, COP25, was held in Barcelona in 2019 and, due to the global pandemic, COP26 had to be postponed from November 2020 to November 2021.
Some activist groups are still calling to postpone this year's conference, due to inaccessibility issues at this year's event. Not only have COVID-19 travel regulations made it impossible for some countries' delegates to travel to the UK, but the extortionate cost of accommodation has simply priced many of them out. Some activists on the ground fear that COP26 will be one of the least diverse yet.
Who is meant to be attending COP26?
Expect to see Boris Johnson, Nicola Sturgeon, Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron, Tayyip Erdoğan, Moon Jae-in, Nana Akufo-Addo, Muhammadu Buhari and many other world leaders at the summit. Some highly anticipated names, such as Chinese President Xi Jinping, the world's biggest greenhouse gases emitter, still haven't confirmed their attendance.
Queen Elizabeth II will also be there, joined by some members of the royal family (although we're not sure if Meghan or Harry will get the invite).
Other familiar names also include English broadcaster Sir David Attenborough and Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.
What Covid-19 precautions are in place for COP26?
Although the UK has offered to vaccinate all incoming delegates, no vaccines are required to fly to Glasgow. However, those attending will be asked to take Covid-19 tests every day. Those travelling from "red list" countries will also have to quarantine upon arrival.
Does anything actually get done at COPs?
Most criticism of these conferences is that they're all talk and no walk, and are just an excuse for the global elites to gather together. Yet, COP summits have been responsible for the formation of two important climate agreements in the past: the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 and the Paris Agreement of 2015 (the legally binding international treaty on climate change to limit the global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius).
Are there any events happening outside of the official conference?
Yes, there are going to be many groups that will host fringe events outside the main conference. Look out for the COP26 Coalition, who are mobilising around climate justice during COP26. Their coalition members include "environment and development NGOs, trade unions, grassroots community campaigns, faith groups, youth groups, migrant and racial justice networks". They will also be hosting their own 'People's Summit' from 7th-10th November.
