The Gun Nuts
Note from the editors: David E. Petzal is spending the weekend shooting, taking apart, evaluating, talking about, dreaming about, and possibly even sleeping with the year's latest guns and shooting gear at the 2006 Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is one of the largest gatherings of gun nuts in the country; while there he'll rub sore shoulders with more than 37,000 industry professionals from around the world, probably irritating many of them. After much grumbling about how technology is destroying the fabric of our moralilty, he's agreed to send us these reports from the show floor.
Winchester Wildcat:
Increasingly, American gunmakers are turning to eastern-bloc countries for their low-priced models, and this Russian-built .22 rimfire will sell for about $212. It looks oddly like the old Moisin-Nagant military rifle, but it's a very nice .22 bolt-action that offers a lot regardless of its price. The ones I shot were accurate, well made, had good trigger pulls, and worked without a hitch. Shoot this one and you can practically feel the hot breath of the Cossacks.
Browning T-Bolt:
This is the second incarnation of a very classy little .22 rifle that Browning made in the 1960s and 70s. It's a straight-pull bolt-action whose locking lug cams into the side of the receiver. This version is not quite as slick and smooth as the original, but it probably costs a lot less to make, and it sells for around $400. It's a sleek, graceful gun that should do very well.
Remington Model 105 autoloading shotgun:
This one has been in the works for nearly 5 years, and is truly a new shotgun. It's a bottom-loading, bottom ejecting design with a titanium/graphite receiver and a retail price tag of about $1200. This one blew everyone away: great looks, great handling, light, very soft-kicking and the easiest loading of any auto. Remington really did this one right; they'll be back-ordered for 10 years.

Remington Mauser:(too new for a photo)
I didn't get the model name for this one, but who cares? I didn't care much for the rifle. It's a true Mauser made in Yugoslavia or Czechoslovakia, or one of those depressing places, and is one of the roughest guns I've ever shot. Not to mention a truly dreadful trigger. I hope it sells at a very low price; it's the only way this gun is going to survive.
Remington Model 750:
A much-improved version of the Remington autoloader. Far better stock, significantly improved gas system, and now, carbine and small-caliber versions will be available. Same dreadful trigger as always.
Springfield Armory Socom:(no photo available)
This is not a hunting rifle; it's an M-14 minus the auto-fire option, and with a 16 1/4-inch barrel. Chambered in .308 (7.62mm), it has a built-in muzzle brake, an excellent trigger, and a synthet ic stock. It's a whale of a lot of fun to shoot if you can afford the ammo. At $1,500, it's an excellent investment if you're thinking of going into combat soon.
Savage Model 12 Precision Varminter:
Here is a super gun from Savage. It's essentially a benchrest action with left-hand loading and ejection, a right-hand bolt, a super-heavy 26-inch barrel, and of course the Savage Accu-Trigger. The small-ported action provides extreme rigidity, and the gun looks like it's going to be a sub-half-minute rifle. This is a very, very sophisticated design for $900. It comes in .204, .223, and .22/250.
Savage Classic:
This is as close to a good-looking Savage as you can get in this sorry world. It's a nicely finished rifle, and the clunky-looking Model 110 bolt action has been somewhat streamlined to help with its appearance. It's a big step forward, and if Savage ever comes up with a way to keep their amazing accuracy in a really good looking rifle, they'll put everyone else out of business.
Weatherby Ultramark:
Back in the 1960s, Weatherby offered an upgraded Mark V rifle with the moniker Weatherby Custom on the floorplate. This is essentially the same thing. The stock wood is not exhibition by any means, but it is nicer than standard, the the laser-cut checkering is truly outstanding. How they do that? If you'd like a better-looking-than-standard Mark V, here is your baby.
NoslerCustom (that's how it's spelled) Model 48: (no photo available)
Nosler's first rifle was a super-pricey wood-stocked rifle that only the wealthy could afford, but this one is within the reach of the dedicated shooter who does not own a cocaine dealership. It's called the Model 48, and will be made in .270 WSM only for the time being. It's very light (5.75 pounds), and absolutely loaded with practical goodies, such as stainless steel springs and an anti-corrosion-coated firing pin system. This is a truly weatherproof rifle, and a splendid piece of machinery as well. The price is $2,495 from Nosler. Order yours now!

Is there any plugin? or should i make or modify something myself?
There is currently no plugin to copy BPM to grouping, as BPM is supported by most players.
May I ask, what you need this for?
so I plan to copy bpm data which has decimal points like 96.4 to comments or grouping session. and i really don't want this process by hand.
There is a keyToGrouping sample plugin in GitHub. I guess you could customize that.
I looked up things you linked. but i have no idea about programming knowledge. so i'm not gonna make it.
It's not hard at all, but I unfortunately don't have the time... If you have a buddy who knows how to program in Java, it should be easy for him/her.

FUO/ NOTAP hold lecture on science and technology
Home >> News >> 2014 06 >> FUO/ NOTAP hold lecture on science and technology
Academicians have been reminded to work towards ensuring that outputs of research are converted into valuable intellectual property assets.
This formed the conclusion of the 2nd University Lecture by Dr. Umar Bindir, Director General, National Office of Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) Abuja, which held recently at the Federal University Otuoke.
Preceding the Lecture was a courtesy visit by the 3-man NOTAP Team led by Engr. J.U.L Nwosa to the VC Federal University Otuoke, Prof. Mobolaji Aluko in his office.
During the visit Engr. J.U.L Nwosa thanked the Vice Chancellor for his time and extended the regrets and apologies of Dr. Umar Bindir, DG NOTAP who was scheduled to deliver the lecture for being unavoidably absent.
Engineer Nwosa disclosed the desire of NOTAP to have an office in FUO adding that as the University is a new one it is easier to start the implementation of Science and Technology innovations for better results.
He further presented the VC with some manuals and literature on Intellectual Properties Technology Transfer for the University library.
The Vice Chancellor in his response thanked the visitors for coming and expressed the readiness of FUO to inculcate the culture of University-Industry Partnership within the Institution.
In his words "We welcome you, we are happy that you are here, we are waiting to have the lecture and look further to partnering with you".
Reacting to the request by NOTAP, Prof. Aluko said the University has been approached by many Federal agencies, for an office within the University.
"For now, all we are trying to do is compile all the requirements from Federal agencies and see how to create a technology office that will be able to serve them all" he said.
Adding that, "as a new University we cannot provide a separate office for all the Federal Government Agencies because we do not have enough facilities".
The delegates afterwards proceeded to the venue of the lecture which was on "The Role of Science and Technology in National Development" to be delivered by Dr. Umar Bindir, Director General, National Office for Technology Acquisition and promotions.
In his lecture, Dr. Umar Bindir who was represented by Engineer J. Nwosa, Director of Technology Acquisition and Research Department NOTAP laid emphasis on the importance of science and technology in National development, stressing that in this 21st century, science and technology has proven to be the pivotal point for innovation and technological advancement.
The speaker reacted to some questions after the lecture and was led by Dr. Sepribo Lawson-Jack, Head, Institutional Advancement and Ms. Mercy Ekott, Head, Media Public Relations Unit on a facility tour of the University.
Areas toured were, the Faculty Building, Laboratories, Library, Administrative Building and the Uncompleted Skills Acquisition Centre of the Niger Delta Ministry.
Dr. Lawson-Jack later led the visitors to the Vice Chancellor's Office where they met with the Management Team of FUO.
The 2nd University Lecture by Dr. Umar Bindir, NOTAP – Abuja was organized in conjunction with the office of Institutional Advancement Federal University Otuoke.

Restaurateurs: It pays to consider costs
Team PEX | Mar 31, 2016
"Everyone thinks it's a novel idea to open a restaurant," says Mary Nhin, owner of Nhinja Sushi and Wok, a multi-location, fresh casual concept in Oklahoma City. "And it is romantic, but success takes perseverance." When Mary and Kang Nhin opened Nhinja, they were already experienced restaurant owners. "We knew to be prepared to spend more than our estimates, and we knew that controlling costs would be vital."
In the narrow-margin world of food service, how can you cut costs without clipping your customers? Here are a few questions to keep you on course.
Know thyself. "The best thing we did was to define our mission and set specific goals," says Nhin. "Then every decision in the future has a compass point." At Nhinja, the focus is on making sushi more accessible to a mainstream audience. At other concepts, the focus should be similarly easy to define. Famous American chef Bobby Flay, speaking with Newsweek's Jessica Ramriez, concurs. "If you can describe your cuisine in one word, like French, you're on the right track," Flay says.
Having a narrow focus keeps a restaurant from making the costly error of having an overly complex menu. It also makes decisions about inventory, staff and location easier, saving money in the long run.
In a word, anything. Day-to-day restaurant operation involves a lot of problem solving, so preplan and be ready to act. A restaurantengine.com article mentions the untimely problem of food delivery interruptions and the value of having a plan in place that involves multiple vendors. This way you'll "have a person you can reach out to in a pinch if you need something quick when one vendor falls through." This always-be-prepared mindset can also help when the ice machine breaks and two dozen bags are needed pronto, or if you offer delivery and there's a sudden problem with the vehicle. It's vital to have immediate funds handy, as well as a system for controlling and tracking those funds, like PEX.
How can your team help?
Inviting your team to take an active role in expense management can result in valuable, cost-cutting insights. In an Inc.com slideshow targeting restaurant owners, readers can note how Union Square Hospitality CEO Danny Meyer oversees a culture of "bottom-up leadership." This includes allowing his chefs to make their own decisions and discoveries with regard to purchasing. Eventually, the whole organization can take advantage of savings.
Having an involved staff has been key to Nhinja's success in cutting costs and keeping customers. At Nhinja, each location manages its own costs and expenses independently. "We oversee things, but allow for a degree of autonomy," says Nhin. "It keeps our team responsible and focused on providing great service. And, in our niche…business is booming!"
When it comes to cutting costs, it's wise to explore options that don't include an immediate rush to trim portion sizes or raise prices. You need tools that provide for greater operational flexibility and efficiency. PEX can play a valuable role in your restaurant's success when you need to give certain team members the ability to spend freely within specific expense categories, and you need a timesaving way to manage the process.
Schedule a one-on-one demo of the PEX platform today to learn about your options.

Story County Board of Supervisors from left: Lauris Olson, Lisa Heddens and Linda Murken.
Lisa Heddens, who was serving her ninth term in the state House of Representatives, was appointed to the board on June 13. She joins board chair Linda Murken and Lauris Olson.
"It's an honor to serve the residents of Story County as supervisor," Heddens said. "I appreciate the support that I had during my tenure in the Iowa Legislature and hope that support continues during my tenure as a county supervisor."
Heddens replaced Rick Sanders who stepped down in May to become the president of Iowa State University's Research Park. Her appointment, made by the Story County Vacancy Committee, was unanimous.
"Women make up only about 10% of county supervisors, so a 100% female board is truly exceptional," said Kelly Winfrey, coordinator of research and outreach for the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics. "The only county elected office where women are even more underrepresented is sheriffs, and as of the Catt Center's 2018 study, there were none in Iowa."
Story County and Ames have a better representation of women than many of Iowa's counties and cities. Prior to Heddens appointment, the Story County Board of Supervisors was 66% female. Story County also has women serving as auditor, county attorney and recorder. The Ames City Council is 50% female, and the Ames Community School Board is 57% female.
"We are fortunate to have a board composed of three individuals who bring diverse backgrounds and complementary skills to the complex and challenging job of county supervisor," Murken said. "And it should be no surprise—other than the fact that it has not happened before in county government in Iowa—that all of the members of such a group could be women."
The three women now serving on the Story County Board of Supervisors have connections to the Catt Center. Murken and Olson attended the center's nonpartisan Ready to Run Iowa campaign training program, and Heddens has been a speaker at several of the workshops.
"Ready to Run is an excellent program that provides individuals with the information on why it's important to be involved in policy making and how to become involved, whether thinking about running in the next election or down the road," Heddens said.
Ready to Run Iowa is offered every other year and is open to both women and men. Attendees are encouraged to run for elective office, position themselves for appointive office, work on a campaign or become involved in public life as leaders in their communities. The next sessions will be held in the spring of 2021.

3 Under 30 Make Forbes List
Made from trash and woven grass, Misha Kahn's Scrappy Cabinet stood out at the 2016 Art Basel Miami fair in December.
Three Furniture Design alumni, Misha Kahn 11 FD, Katie Stout 12 FD and Jamie Wolfond 13 FD, have made Forbes magazine's 2017 list of 30 Under 30 talented young artists and designers—people whom the business magazine applaud for "creating and designing a beautiful future." In the past six years a total of 27 RISD alumni have been included in the magazine's top picks in the Art & Style category.
Based in Brooklyn, Kahn has been called the "wunderkind of furniture" in The New York Times. He continues to express his interesting vision of the world through 3D objects that are eccentric, beautiful and often over-the-top both formally and in terms of materials.
Stout's Stuffed Chairs
In a similar vein, Stout—who has shared a studio with Kahn and won Ellen's Design Challenge in 2015—is known for pushing the boundaries of traditional construction through wonderfully playful chairs, rugs and lamps with a personality all their own. She works to "encourage people to invite the slightly deranged, ugly and demented into their lives through usable objects."
The year after he graduated, Wolfond founded the Brooklyn-based company Good Thing, which works with a small team of designers to create "useful tools that are more thoughtful, better looking and longer-lasting than their existing counterparts." He believes that the relationships between designers, manufacturers and consumers need to constantly evolve.

Attitudes To Enterprise (ATE) test
The ATE test was developed by Rosemary Athayde of the Small Business Research Centre, Kingston University. The ATE test is a robust evaluation tool designed to support enterprise and entrepreneurship education, which can be used in a variety of ways.
Administered pre- and post-programme, it can be used to measure the efficacy of individual enterprise education programmes around the world. The impact of a programme, on different demographic and ethnic groups, can therefore be assessed. The test also enables international comparisons of enterprise potential in young people, and of enterprise education provision in different countries.
The ATE test measures young people's attitudes towards enterprise and enterprising behaviour. Static trait theories such as Eysenck's model of personality, and McClelland's need for achievement theory have been shown to be inadequate explanations for entrepreneurial behaviours.
Unlike the trait approach, social cognitive theory is a dynamic approach which posits that a person's characteristics such as attitudes, beliefs, values, and intentions are constantly moulded throughout life. The ATE test, therefore, is grounded in social cognitive theory and attitude theory, and has been rigorously validated through a series of national and international studies. A copy of the initial pilot studies is available via the British Library.
Kingston University oversees the collection of an international dataset involving several countries, including Qatar, Croatia, the US, South Africa and Spain. The ATE test is currently being used in a national evaluation of young people in Spain by the Department of Theory and History of Education and Social Pedagogy, University of Seville.
The aims of the project are to determine the degree of students' entrepreneurial identity through the evaluation of two national programs (EME and EJE) throughout the Spanish educational system; to interpret the current situation of entrepreneurship education for adolescents in Spain; and to guide decision-making for planning, development and evaluation of programs aimed at promoting the entrepreneurial culture in Spanish compulsory education.
Publications on the test have appeared in leading journals such as Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, International Review of Entrepreneurship, and Education & Training, various conferences including ISBE and ICSB, and at the United Nations Economic Commission Working Party on Youth Entrepreneurship in Geneva, Switzerland in 2004.
If your institution would also like to use the test an online version is available.
Take the Attitudes To Enterprise test
The data will be collected and forwarded to you by Kingston University, and assistance with calculating and interpreting the results can be provided.

Any contribution to this project will directly impact the local community. Monthly donations to this area of our work will be most effective, enabling us to plan ahead and allowing KTL to continue the vital programs we carry out in schools and villages adjacent to Kasanka National Park.
We aim to implement programs which diversify local income sources so that people do not rely on bushmeat as a source of income or for protein.

Win and in? Not so fast: Fairfield Prep ousts Knights from the tournament
by jgoralski • November 29, 2017 • 0 Comments

By BRIAN JENNINGS
Southington entered Thanksgiving in eighth spot in the Class LL rankings, and all but one scenario had the Knights qualifying for the state tournament—if No. 9 Fairfield Prep upset No. 2 West Haven.
West Haven didn't trail until late in the game, taking leads of 7-0 and 14-7, but Fairfield Prep answered each score. With five minutes remaining in the game, Fairfield Prep took their first lead and held on for a 21-14 victory.
Just like that, Southington was eliminated from the final playoff berth.
Ex-Blue Knight Vance Upham held Ryan Montalvo's head in his arms. From one running back to another, Upham consoled the grieving of his former teammate.
Montalvo was the Southington and Cheshire Chamber of Commerce Apple Valley Classic outstanding player of the game in Southington's 30-22 win at Cheshire on Thanksgiving, but that didn't heal the pain of missing out on the postseason. He was a senior, and after Fairfield Prep beat out Southington for the eighth and final spot of the Class LL tournament, Thursday was his final game as a Knight.
"It doesn't take anything away from us," said Montalvo. "We did all we could do. I couldn't be any prouder of my team. They performed to the best of their ability. I love these guys more than anything, and would do anything for them. If Fairfield Prep won, then they won. That's it."
The Knights concluded their season at Cheshire and missed the state tournament for the first time since 2011, finishing the season at 8-2 (4-1 home, 4-1 away). Southington fended off Simsbury (7-3, 3-1) to win the CCC Division I West Record with a 4-0 record.
"It was a really great, fun group of kids to coach," said Southington coach Mike Drury. "These kids put it all out there every day and did the right things…things we talk about all the time. A couple things didn't bounce our way, but I'm proud of the way they handled themselves throughout the whole year."
The Knights concluded their season at Cheshire on Thanksgiving and missed the state tournament for the first time since 2011 after Fairfield Prep defeated West Haven, 21-14, at home on the same day, beating West Haven for the first time since 2013 in the schools' Thanksgiving series.

1. Lucas Giolito, RHP, Nationals, has the best stuff of anyone in this league. Coming off Tommy John surgery, the results make it look like the surgery and rehab was a success. He was the best high school pitching prospect in either of the last two drafts.
2. Kohl Stewart, RHP, Twins, the best prep pitching prospect from the 2013 draft, had a short season in his pro debut after cutting his foot walking on the beach and getting shut down to avoid potential shoulder issues. I believer he will be in instructs for the Twins but either way, it was a successful debut for the righty.
3. Hunter Harvey, RHP, Orioles, is the son of Bryan Harvey and has the impact ability of very few prospects in the minors. Scouts have raved about him in his debut and he should rank highly on the Orioles top prospect lists, maybe atop it. There could be an argument that Harvey is the best prospect in this league.
4. Rob Kaminsky, LHP, Cardinals, is one of the most polished prep pitchers and has a bulldog attitude. His stuff isn't elite but his breaking ball is plus and his fastball is average or a tick above. He could move quickly.
5. Ian Clarkin, LHP, Yankees, had a rough start to his pro debut, spraining his ankle, but he will report to instructs to continue his first season.
6. Jake Brentz, LHP, Blue Jays, is very raw but can hit 97 and is a lefty. His stuff is comparable to a 1st round talent if he refines it. He is Toronto's fall back for not signing 1st round pick Phil Bickford (along with Rowdy Tellez). He is a personal favorite and I have a lot of faith in him as long as he stays healthy.
7. Marco Gonzales, LHP, Cardinals, has good not great stuff and will never be a frontline guy but he could be a solid back of the rotation guy and he could be on a A+ or even AA list next year at this time. He has three average pitches that play up as they play off each other. He is an intriguing prospect.
Thorpe is an Austrailian lefty that had the most dominant season of anyone in the GCL. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, sitting 88-91, but he is a lefty and the results have been amazing. Here is a little more on him.
Castro is a big 6'5", 190 LB righty that has a fastball that ranges from 91-95. I don't know much about him but the link sums up what info is readily available. GAPPER sure likes what he did in the DSL and GCL.
10. Trey Ball (Red Sox) was a very high pick this year but I feel like he was an over draft. I may be in the minority here, but that's my feeling. He struggled a little in his debut but it did not even include a start, so it almost means nothing. I am interested in seeing how he does next year.

Biografia

Figlio del compositore Valentino e di Angiola Aromatari, intraprese gli studi di medicina, ai quali però preferì la musica.

Seguì le lezioni in composizione di Giuseppe Jannacconi, oltreché quelle del padre.

Vincenzo Fioravanti esordì nel 1819 con l'opera Pulcinella molinaro spaventato dalla fata Serafinetta, su libretto di S. Cammarano, messa in scena al teatro S. Carlino di Napoli, alla quale seguirono quaranta opere, quasi tutte rappresentate nel Teatro Nuovo (Napoli).

Rientrato a Roma conobbe Gaetano Donizetti, sposò Maddalena Tedeschi, ma dopo circa un anno rimase vedovo e si trasferì a Napoli. Solamente nel 1828 ricominciò a lavorare, dedicandosi prevalentemente alle opere buffe, ottenendo, tra le altre, un buon successo con l'opera Il ritorno di Pulcinella dagli studi di Padova (28 dicembre 1837), su libretto di A. Passáro,  messa in scena per molti anni in numerosi teatri italiani ed europei.

Nel 1833 divenne maestro di cappella in una chiesa napoletana; successivamente assunse l'incarico di direttore musicale nell'Albergo dei poveri.

Ammalatosi gravemente, nel 1872 fu costretto ad abbandonare l'incarico ed a ritirarsi a vita privata, trascorrendo il tempo libero con la scrittura di versi epigrammatici.

Una Messa da Requiem che aveva composto durante la sua permanenza a Lanciano fu rappresentata al suo funerale.

È stato soprattutto un compositore di opere buffe, che conseguirono un buon successo, anche se un po' effimero.

Ha avuto tra i suoi allievi il compositore e didatta svizzero Louis Niedermeyer e Nicola D'Arienzo.

Islamic Medicines
Healing with the medicine of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him)
is the panacea for those in search of good health.
Zamzam water
Yes, Zamzam water has a special physique that makes it advantageous water. This fact has been proved by a group of Pakistani researches.

Tibb-i-Nabi

When Tempers Hit Boiling Point
Self-control helps one avoid physiological and psychological harm as well as gain great rewards from Allâh for his patience.
Health and Nutrition of The Prophet
There are a number of words of advice and nutritional habits of the prophet (SAWS) that have substantial support in recent scientific literature.
Muslims and Weight Loss
Muslims often seek outside help to lose weight, although the Qur'an and Hadith provide guidance on many ways through which we can combat being overweight.
Siwak: Preventive Medicine For Your Teeth
One of the best ways to protect one's teeth is the siwak, which was mentioned in several sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
The Healing Colors of Friday Prayer
These it is for whom are gardens of perpetuity beneath which rivers flow; ornaments shall be given to them therein of bracelets of gold, and they shall wear green robes of fine silk and thick silk brocade interwoven with gold,
The Miraculous Coccyx
"The earth would consume every part of the son of Adam (after his death) except for one bone; the coccyx (the bone at the base of the vertebral column) from which he is created and from which his body will be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection".

Cupping: Effective Medical Treatment
"If there is any effective remedy amongst your medical treatments, they are in cupping, drinking honey, and cauterization with the help of fire, but I do not like cauterization (in another narration, "and I prohibit my nation from cauterization.)."
House fly Falls into One's Drink!
"If a housefly falls into the drink of anyone of you, he should immerse it completely in the liquid, then remove it, for one of its wings has the disease and the other has the cure."
Prophetic Medicine: An Old Prescription for a New Era
In an age of popular alternative approaches to health and wellness with many fads and diets it is easy to overlook the sacred healing wisdom in the Sunna of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).
Qust-al-Bahri-Qust (Saussaurea lappa)
Hazrat Zaid Bin Arqam narrates- " We were directed by Rasool Allah (saw) to treat pleurisy with Qust Bahri and Roghan-e-Zaitoon" (Tirmizi, Sanad-e-Ahmed, Ibn Maja)
Health Benefits of Prophetic Condiments
The Qur'an (2:168) says, "Yea people: eat of what is on earth, lawful and wholesome." According to Muslim, Allah's Messenger said, "The stomach is the central basin of the body, and the veins are connected to it.
If greatness consists of purification of a nation immersed in moral darkness, then he who transformed an entire nation, sunken low as the Arabs were, and made them torchbearers of civilizations, has every claim to that greatness.

Tom and I hiked the Bailey Range Traverse (in Olympic National Park) in 2007. After completing that arduous task, I said I'd never do it again, citing the extreme physical demands of the task. However, about two weeks later, after the aches and pains subsided, and the blistered feet healed, I was already considering a return visit.
I made several attempts since thenm often involving out-and-back itineraries, either from the Solduc or the North Fork Quinault trailheads. Due to various reasons, I never completed the traverse successfully....until this year. It seems as though the stars had aligned: I had plenty of vacation time, a decent weather window, enough early season snow to make the trip straightforward, and someone available to assist in a car shuttle.
This review describes my eight-day journey through the Bailey Range.
I must reiterate that this trip is a committed one, especially if done solo. Some skills required for successfully completing the trek include, good map and compass abilities, strong physical endurance, proper use of an ice axe, assessment of snow and ice conditions, and many others. This review serves simply as a report of my experience. I assume no liability for loss or damage caused by use of this information. I am happy, though, to respond to any questions the reader might have regarding this trip.
My wife, Libby, and I began on Wednesday, August 13, driving to Port Angeles to pick up my Wilderness Permit. There I met Ranger Lily, who mentioned that she, too, would be doing the same traverse, with two other hiking companions. She told me to expect to see them on the route. Meanwhile, Libby and I continued to Whiskey Bend, dropping a car where I would emerge from the backcountry a week later.
We spent the night in a campground so that I could get an early start on the first day of my trip.

Q: Navigation in CodeIgniter How does navigation work in Codeigniter?
I have a very simple use case
I have a link which on click should take me to a new page
<a href ="<?php echo site_url("/blog/create"); ?>">Create Post

I have defined a function called create in my controller page (blog.php).This would contain the logic to display the createpost page.
public function create()
    {
    }

I have setup the route in routes.php page like this
$route['create'] = "blog/create/";

Every time i click the link now i always get the error that the requested url was not found on the server.
What am i doing wrong here??
I am not able to get around this issue? Can some one help?
Note:
I have done the required changes in .htaccess file in order to remove the index.php file

A: You don't really have to touch routes if your controller/method isn't different one you wish to provide for routing.
Your controller should be something like:
<?php
class Blog extends CI_Controller{

    public function create()
    {
        echo 'you have arrived on blog/create page';
    }

}

Now to access your page, you can go to your url which should be either

*

*website.dev/blog/create

*website.dev/index.php/blog/create

A: *

*Check your your .htaccess file for any error. The rewrite rule from the manual does the job:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

*in your config file remove index.php in this line:
$config['index_page'] = '';

*make sure your controller has the correct syntax like:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Blog extends CI_Controller {

  public function create(){
    echo 'hello';
  }

}

now either clicking on your link or typing the urls localhost/blog/create and localhost/index.php/blog/create will show whatever you output with your controller function create().

A: You can also simplify and just use:
anchor('controller/method');

There's no need to force the site url etc. CI can do that on it's own.

Europa: Man United, Lyon, Schalke advance
Man United, Lyon and Schalke all reach Europa League quarterfinals
A Juan Mata goal gave Manchester United a 1-0 win over Rostov at Old Trafford to send them into the Europa League quarterfinals with a 2-1 victory on aggregate on Thursday.
Despite Jose Mourinho's side creating a host of chances, Mata's second-half strike was the only goal of the game, but it proved to be enough to take them into the last eight of the competition, although the night was slightly soured by the sight of Paul Pogba being forced off with injury after the break.
United finally managed to find a way through on 70 minutes when Zlatan Ibrahimovic flicked a Henrikh Mkhitaryan cross into the path of Mata at the far post, who fired into an empty net from just a few yards out.
Rostov could have found an equaliser in the 79th minute if not for goalkeeper Sergio Romero, who was on hand to save United with an excellent stop to tip wide Aleksandr Bukharov's close-range header.
Then he also tipped over Christian Noboa's free kick in the dying seconds to prevent the game from going to extra time.
Lyon also advanced, holding on to get through 5-4 on aggregate despite a 2-1 loss at Roma.
The French side carried a 4-2 lead into the Estadio Olimpico and an early goal from Mouctar Diakhaby gave the hosts an uphill climb.
Kevin Strootman struck back in the 17th minute and a Lucas Tousart own goal at the hour mark complicated the tie, but Lyon held on to reach the last eight of the competition.
Schalke booked their spot in the quarterfinals via the away goals rule after rallying for a 2-2 draw at Borussia Monchengladbach.
After drawing 1-1 in Gelsenkirchen, goals from Andreas Christensen in the 26th minute and Mahmoud Dahoud in the 45th looked to have the hosts on their way.
However, Leon Goretzka pulled a goal back nine minutes after the break and a Nabil Bentaleb penalty sealed Svchalke's passage into the next round.
Ryan Babel scored twice to help 10-man Besiktas beat Olympiakos 4-1 and earn a spot in the Europa League quarterfinals.
With the Turkish club enjoying a slim away-goal advantage after a 1-1 first leg, Vincent Aboubakar headed home from close range 10 minutes in, before Babel added his first goal 12 minutes later.
Tarik Elyounoussi got a goal back for the Greek giants with a flying scissor kick after the half-hour mark, and though Aboubakar saw a red card for a head-butt, Besiktas avoided conceding a goal that would have had them facing an exit on away goals.
Former Liverpol winger Babel then got his second on 75 minutes, and Cenk Tosun added another for the 10 men to complete their 5-2 aggregate win.
La Liga side Celta Vigo managed a 2-0 win away to Krasnodar to seal a 4-1 aggregate victory.
Hugo Mallo scored the opening goal of the second leg seven minutes after half-time, lashing home after Iago Aspas' initial attempt was blocked.
Aspas then got a goal of his own from a chip with 10 minutes remaining to seal it, before Charles Kabore was sent off for the Russian club.
Ajax turned around a first-leg deficit to get past FC Copenhagen with a 2-0 win, moving on 3-2 on aggregate.
Bertrand Traore put Ajax ahead in the 23rd-minute, heading home a rebound after Amin Younes' shot was saved.
And just before half-time, Kasper Dolberg added a second goal for the Dutch giants from the penalty spot after being fouled by Jores Okore.
Genk completed their tie against fellow Belgian side Gent with a 1-1 draw to move on 6-3 on aggregate.
Enjoying a comfortable lead from their first leg, Genk got a goal from Timothy Castagne -- shooting from a tight angle on 20 minutes -- to seal their quarterfinal place despite Louis Verstraete finding a late goal to earn Gent a draw on the night.
Genk will be joined by another Belgian club in Anderlecht, who secured a 1-0 win at home to advance 2-0 on aggregate over Cypriot club APOEL.
It took Anderlecht 65 minutes to find the breakthrough, Frank Acheampong scoring from a rebound.


Congrats, but "will be join as"??
Good luck, Saul. Couldn't have been easy to leave but, you know, you have seen the future and it's clearly software-assisted.
Congrats, Saul. Best of luck. Let us know if we can be of assistance.
Congratulations, Saul, and wish you much success in the new gig.
Best of luck, Saul. Let us know if you come down to Va.
Best of luck, Saul. There is life after the NYT, take it from me!
Saul: Congrats, I hope this goes well for you. Your voice will be missed at the Times, IMO.
Wow. The talent drain at the NYT is stunning, but I guess this is how creative destruction works. The new gig sure looks like a great challenge. Good luck.
Saul. Happy for you. That's a bigtime job.
Best of luck with it and let's connect at something other than some conference.
I'll miss your reporting from the Times. Now you get a behind-the-scenes (instead of a front-row) look at how AOL reinvents itself. Good luck!
Nice gig, Saul. Congratulations. We're all really proud of you and the great work you've done over the years.

Woodchuck attacks dog in Hancock County's first rabies case
Stock image | Pixabay
File photo of a groundhog. In Bucksport, a rabid groundhog attacked a small-breed dog on July 31, marking the first case of rabies in Hancock County this year.
By Nick Sambides Jr., BDN Staff • August 8, 2018 12:19 pm
Updated: August 8, 2018 12:33 pm
A dog is in 45-day quarantine in Bucksport after he was attacked by a woodchuck in Hancock County's first confirmed case of animal rabies this year.
The small-breed dog received a booster shot after the woodchuck charged at it from woods near the owner's home in Bucksport on July 31, Shawna McArdle, a veterinarian at Bucksport Veterinary Hospital, said.
"The owner is very worried but we're pretty confident that there is low risk of exposure," McArdle said Wednesday. "He was up to date on his vaccines and we don't have any visible bites."
[Midcoast fox and skunk test positive for rabies]
The woodchuck's carcass tested positive for rabies the following day, Eris Kilham, a microbiologist at the Maine Centers for Disease Control lab in Augusta, said.
Bucksport is the 26th of 27 cases of rabies reported statewide as of Aug. 3. The 27th case, a bat in Brunswick, was reported on Aug. 2, according to a listing at maine.gov.
The woodchuck — which also are called groundhogs — is the first reported with the disease this year. Fifteen raccoons, eight gray foxes, six skunks, two bats and a cat are the other verified animals, according to the listing.
[Here's how likely it is that you'll actually contract rabies]
McArdle said she was surprised that the attack had not yet been widely publicized. Rabies is a disease caused by a virus that affects the brain and spinal cord and can cause death if left untreated. Rabies in people is very rare nationwide, but in animals it's common in most parts of the country, including Maine.
The CDC lab is swamped with animals to test, Kilham said.
"Today we're testing 14," Kilham said. "The volume we are getting in is heavy. We have been seeing days of 10, 8, 6 [animals to test]. It's that time of year."

The Swedish cavity experiments: How dentists rotted the teeth of the mentally handicapped to study candy's effect
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN
Updated 12:03 PM EDT, Wed October 30, 2019
The Living History Forum
Today it sounds like a Halloween horror story, concocted to scare children out of eating too much candy.
But in the late 1940s in Sweden, children and adults with mental disabilities were deliberately fed sticky candies to see what would happen to their teeth.
"I've seen dental records of this. Every tooth was black," said Swedish journalist Thomas Kanger, who has written about the children. "I'm talking about every tooth damaged and it went on for years."
An epidemic of cavities
In Sweden in the 1930s, studies found even 3-year-old children had cavities in 83% of their teeth. Such extensive decay wasn't unusual; dental care was very poor in most countries.
Treatment was basically non-existent and rotting teeth were typically pulled. Toothlessness was so prevalent in the United States that the military restricted recruits for World War I and World War II to men who had six intact opposing teeth.

Unethical experiments' painful contributions to today's medicine
It sounds curious now, but in the early 20th century dentists were divided on the cause of dental decay. Was it due to an underlying disease? Was it due to overall diet? Or was it due just to sweets?
Clues pointed to the role of sweets: Orphans in childrens' homes too poor to provide sweets had fewer cavities than the general population; dental decay among conscripts declined during sugar rationing in WWI.
Facing a national epidemic of tooth repair too expensive to undertake, the Swedish government decided to focus on prevention, and commissioned a study on the role of diet and sweets. It was funded by the sugar industry.
A mental institution
The perfect place to perform such a study, they decided, was the Vipeholm Mental Institution, a large facility just outside Lund, Sweden. In 1935 it had been turned into a home for people with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities.

New study raises questions about how fluoride affects children's development
"These 'idiots,' which was a medical classification at the time, were gathered from smaller wards all over the country," Kanger explained. "In the beginning they had 650 people and it grew up to over a thousand."
In medical terms at the time, an "idiot" was a person with an IQ below 25, who functioned at the level of a normal toddler. An "imbecile" had a IQ of between 26 and 50, whose intelligence was about that of a child of seven. "Morons" functioned at about the intellectual level of a child of 12.
These "children" typically ranged in age from 15 to 70, Kanger said. Average life expectancy was low.
"There were big, big halls where they actually were just running around, with no activities at all at the start," Kanger said. "They were bathed in cold water if they were too troublesome. Some of them lay in beds all the time.
"In the beginning, it was actually a terrible place for most people. It became better over the years, with more therapies," he said.

Hugo Fröderberg was the only physician for the hospital until 1942. He kept copious notes on each of the patients and he had his own zero to six ranking for the mental capacities of each, Kanger said.
"He rated the zero group as 'biologically lower standing than most animal species,' considering them vegetables," Kanger said. "He thought groups one to three may have a certain spiritual life, but were otherwise 'unimaginable.' "
Two-thirds of Vipeholm's patients during WWII were from these four lowest groups, Kanger said.
Those at mental levels equivalent to elementary or pre-teen children were allowed to work at jobs "no other people would like to undertake" such as laundry, cleaning and growing a garden, Kanger said.
It was these patients, who could chew and feed themselves, who were typically recruited for the dental study.
"The lower functioning groups just swallowed their food," Kanger said. "I can see in the journals they were not subjected to the cavity tests, because they had to chew the toffees. That was the whole point of it."
Three phases
At the beginning of the study, the children's teeth were closely examined. It was noted that their teeth were in much better shape than the Swedish population as a whole.
During the first two years of the experiment, the children were given little starch and half the average consumption of sugar in a typical Swedish diet. Vitamins A, C and D, along with fluoride tablets were given, and no food was allowed between meals.
At the end of this period, 78% of the children had no new cavities.

Over the next two years the children were given twice the amount of sugar typically consumed in Sweden, administered in several ways. One group ate sweet, sticky bread made with extra sugar with their meals, another group drank beverages with 1½ cups of added sugar at meals, and a third group ate chocolates, caramels or sticky toffees between meals.
The sticky candy group was further divided into children who ate 8 or 24 pieces of toffee between meals. The toffee was developed specifically to stick better to the teeth.
The results? "The [tooth decay] was high in groups which received sugar in sticky form between meals. In the Control, Sucrose and Bread Groups the activity was still low and of the same order as during the Vitamin Study," the study authors wrote.

In both toffee groups and the caramel group, the increase in cavities occurred immediately after the children began eating them, the study added.
"They were given toffees or caramels that stuck in their teeth," Kanger said. "The teeth were destroyed. And after they were ruined, these people were in terrible pain. It was actually horrible."
Kanger said records show researchers decided not to fix the teeth for "those who could not cooperate with the fixing procedures (like being scared of the drill). They also chose not to fix the teeth among many of the 'lower' categories of patients."
They did fix the teeth among many of the "higher" categories, he said. But in many cases the teeth were pulled out instead of being fixed.
Experimentation was common
Today, the thought of ruining anyone's teeth for an experiment is unthinkable. But it wasn't long ago that people with disabilities were considered subhuman by many, making experimentation morally acceptable to some.
"Anyone with disabilities were seen as not fully human at the time, so they had fewer rights," said Art Caplan, the founding director of the Division of Medical Ethics at New York University Langone Medical Center.
"They were also seen as owing the state for their care," he said. "The attitude was: We're taking care of you, so you have an obligation back to the community. And one way to discharge that debt is by being in this kind of experiment."
Why you don't know how much artificial sweetener you're feeding your child
In a paper written 50 years after the study, one of the authors defended the work. The study was planned before the Declaration of Helsinki, wrote retired professor of cariology Bo Krasse, at a time "when information in society was far more limited than it is today." The Helsinki Declaration is a document adopted by the international medical community on the ethics of experimentation, first written in 1964.
"We dentists did not see any ethical problems with the study itself," he wrote, disagreeing with Kanger's view of the level of destruction of the teeth. "Many of the new cavities which developed during the carbohydrate periods were only early enamel lesions, which today are remineralized by topical fluoride applications."
As a result of what was learned from these patients, Krasse wrote, research began on sugar substitutes, including artificial sweeteners. The study has been used to prevent cavities in many school children and has been cited numerous times by other reviewers, he said.
In Sweden it also jump-started a national campaign to reduce the amount of sweets eaten by children. It soon became a tradition in Sweden to encourage children to only eat candy at home on Saturday nights while listening to a popular radio program, wrote Krasse.
"The recommendation 'All the sweets you like, but only once a week' also spread to other countries," he continued.
"My reflection now is that the Vipeholm Study illustrates two well-known sayings: One, the end sometimes justifies the means, and two, it is easy to be wise after the event."

Instability of pressure-driven gas–liquid two-layer channel flows in two and three dimensions
Lennon Ó Náraigh & Peter D. M. Spelt
We study unstable waves in gas–liquid two-layer channel flows driven by a pressure gradient, under stable stratification, not assumed to be set in motion impulsively. The basis of the study is direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the two-phase Navier–Stokes equations in two and three dimensions for moderately large Reynolds numbers, accompanied by a theoretical description of the dynamics in the linear regime (Orr–Sommerfeld–Squire equations). The results are compared and contrasted across a range of density ratios $r=\rho_\mathit{liquid}\,/\,\rho_\mathit{gas}$. Linear theory indicates that the growth rate of small-amplitude interfacial disturbances generally decreases with increasing ; at the same time, the cutoff wavenumbers in both streamwise and spanwise directions increase, leading to an ever-increasing range of unstable wavenumbers, albeit with diminished growth rates. The analysis also demonstrates that the most dangerous mode is two-dimensional in all cases considered. The results of a comparison between the DNS and linear theory demonstrate a consistency between the two approaches: as such, the route to a three-dimensional flow pattern is direct in these cases, i.e. through the strong influence of the linear instability. We also characterize the nonlinear behaviour of the system, and we establish that the disturbance vorticity field in two-dimensional systems is consistent with a mechanism proposed previously by Hinch (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 144, 1984, p. 463) for weakly inertial flows. A flow-pattern map constructed from two-dimensional numerical simulations is used to describe the various flow regimes observed as a function of density ratio, Reynolds number and Weber number. Corresponding simulations in three dimensions confirm that the flow-pattern map can be used to infer the fate of the interface there also, and show strong three-dimensionality in cases that exhibit violent behaviour in two dimensions, or otherwise the development of behaviour that is nearly two-dimensional behaviour possibly with the formation of a capillary ridge. The three-dimensional vorticity field is also analysed, thereby demonstrating how streamwise vorticity arises from the growth of otherwise two-dimensional modes.

Eminent domain by Dan O'Brien( )
With both humor and poignancy, Dan O'Brien explores the lives of his diverse characters. In 'The Inheritance, ' a businessman goes fishing after the death of his father and realizes, through memories he tries to evade, the richness of the inheritance his father has left him. 'Eminent Domain' tells the story of Willy Herbeck, who's 'dirty, sloppy, unsociable, old-fashioned, moody, bullheaded, and ugly.' But he's also 'got class' and is willing to go to extremes to keep from selling his junkyard to the government
Great Plains bison by Dan O'Brien( )
Great Plains Bison traces the history and ecology of this American symbol from the origins of the great herds that once dominated the prairie to its near extinction in the late nineteenth century and the subsequent efforts to restore the bison population. A longtime wildlife biologist and one of the most powerful literary voices on the Great Plains, Dan O'Brien has managed his own ethically run buffalo ranch since 1997. Drawing on both extensive research and decades of personal experience, he details not only the natural history of the bison but also its prominent symbolism in Native American culture and its rise as an icon of the Great Plains. Great Plains Bison is a tribute to the bison's essential place at the heart of the North American prairie and its ability to inspire naturalists and wildlife advocates in the fight to preserve American biodiversity

Flash fiction : very short stories by James Thomas( Book )
1 edition published in 1992 in English and held by 521 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"How short can a story be and still truly be a story? This volume of seventy-two very short fictions, none much more than 750 words in length, demonstrates to our repeated satisfaction that less can be more, small can stand tall, and the diminutive can be dynamically and dramatically complete. Here for enjoyment and study are very short pieces by acknowledged modern masters -- including Raymond Carver, Richard Brautigan, Margaret Atwood, Julio Cortázar and Tim O'Brien -- as well as fiction by newer talents, who have embraced the short form with much gusto and considerable grace. With a rich variety of stories and authors, subjects and styles and sensibilities, these flashes of fiction make for eclectic -- and often electric -- reading. The volume is a must for readers and writers, indeed for anyone interested in the finely sharpened edge of contemporary literature"--Jacket

Stuart Snyder exits Turner
After more than half a decade as Turner's Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media president and COO, Stuart Snyder is set to depart from the company at the end of this month.
After more than half a decade as Turner's Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media president and COO, Stuart Snyder is set to depart from the company at the end of this month.
Some of the accomplishments achieved under Snyder's watch include Adult Swim achieving its best ratings ever in 2013 and Cartoon Network launching its pro-social Stop Bullying: Speak Up campaign.
Snyder held earlier roles within Turner, including a stint as SVP and GM of GameTap, an early experiment in subscriber-based content delivered via broadband, and he led Turner's home entertainment division during the '90s boom years of home video.
Snyder's departure, which is amid continued management changes at Turner and parent company TBS, comes as Cartoon Network heads into its upfront marketplace, and as the company gears up to launch a new portfolio of original web content for CartoonNetwork.com and introduce ads to its 24-hour kidsnet Boomerang in the US.

Heard a bang from inside, shelving let loose after 30+ years. Fortunately so much is crammed in to 1/2 of garage that bike could not fall over all the way.
oh boy 1st crash of the year 2 to go!!!!!!!!!
To complete the story, about 2 weeks after the inciden I noticed a fresh and fair-sized dent in my street bike tank. It was parked further from the shelves, I didn't clean up anything that could have done this damage, and didn't see anything left on the ground to explain it. Shrugged and forgot about it.
So, one more crash to go?
You should be old enough to know better Gord!

In 1998, Bill Schultheis wrote a simple investment book for people who felt overwhelmed by the bull market. He had discovered that when you simplify your investment decisions, you end up getting better returns. As a bonus, you gain more time for family, friends, and other pursuits.
A decade later, through good times and bad, this philosophy has been proven to tower above the daily chatter of Wall Street. And the revised and expanded edition of his book is more valuable than ever.
The New Coffeehouse Investor will help readers get their finances in shape quickly and painlessly.

What better way to arrive in the "Paris of the South" than aboard a cruise liner. This is the way you are likely to step ashore in all due style to one of the great cities of Latin America – an historic city, a majestic city, and one that has been most evocatively described as a city of "haunted grandeur".
however short your leave ashore, you are also likely to find time to relax and simply watch the world go by whilst seated at one of the city's many outdoor cafes.
Buenos Aires makes for a fascinating and adventurous port of call on any cruise – it make take a little more time and effort in getting there but the rewards are likely to be well worth the travel.
Mike is a director of BengoTravel where you can compare rates for your travel insurance as well as take advantage of some excellent policy features for niche travel insurance cover.
A long route but very pleasant to travel at sea. Hope you enjoy the blessings.
Buenos Aires would really be a nice place to visit since it's really rich in history.
I am curious how it feels like being on a cruise ship, but I don't like being on the water that long. I guess I don't trust their safety. Oh well it's just me.
I have never been to a cruise yet sis but it sounds fun. The thought of hopping from one place to another is exciting!
