I've been wanting to keep in better contact with people by sending birthday cards. However, I didn't have a good way of keeping track of birthdays and I felt like I always had to scrounge for addresses. I figured making a rolodex calendar would be a fun way of keeping them together.
I took each of the alphabet cards and decorated them with a different month. I have a lot of scrapbook paper and other embelishments so I was able to whip these up simply. I write the person's name and birthdate on the card. I can flip through the cards to quickly see whose birthdays are coming up and send them a card.
Since we have so many military friends who move a lot I didn't want to write the address on the back of each card. So I made a family card to put in the back. For example I would have a card in the back that says "The Smith Family" and has their names and birthdates and address. Then each member of the Smith family would have their own card. 23 January Tommy Smith, 15 May Susan Smith.
How do you keep track of birthdays or other special dates?
This is amazingly organized. I think it is very thoughtful of you to send out all these birthday cards. I pretty much rely on facebook to give me a nudge and by then of course its too late to do anything but "type" a message. No nearly as thoughtful as your handwritten cards are. Well done for posting yours.
Thank you for linking up to the #HomeMattersParty, we appreciate you stopping by.
Thanks it's my intention to do this every year, but some times I'm better at it than others. Thanks for stopping by!

Sebring McKinley Student 'Family' Rallies to Support Local Family After House Fire
In just a matter of a week, Sebring McKinley students raised more than $2,000 for a district family after the family lost their home in a devastating fire in early January.
After the news of the fire, the students sprang into action, quickly creating plans for several fundraisers to provide support for the Keester family. In just two days, students surpassed their initial goal of $800 and raised the bar to $1,500.
From half court shots at the basketball games to penny wars in the school halls, students and their families brought contributions to the cause. Teachers took to the kitchen, producing sweet treats - including brownies from Principal Clark's wife that were in high demand in the school's bake sale. Students contributed to Dollar Days, paying to wear hats, pajamas, or other themed items throughout the week.
At an assembly Friday morning, Sebring sophomore Bella Threet shared the student initiatives and thanked the supportive staff before presenting the students' grand total raised: $2,019.65!
As a reward, two students were selected to 'pie' Principal Brian Clark.
English teacher Nicole Mathias congratulated the students on their tremendous contributions, and summed up the sentiment of the entire student-led project saying "Keester family, just know you are loved."
Sebring McKinley students implemented a Penny War to support the Keester family.
Sebring McKinley students surpassed their goal of $800 in just two days, and quickly upped their goal to $1,500. The group raised more than $2,000.
Bella Threet teases the audience with yet another slide before presenting the building's fundraising total.
Sebring's Bella Threet presents the grand total from student fundraising efforts for the Keester family at an assembly on Friday, January 20, 2023. Students planned and implemented fundraisers providing more than $2,000 for the family in less than 2 weeks.

More than 19,500 DUI arrests in 2016 by Pennsylvania State Police
Troopers also investigated 4,520 DUI-related crashes
Lebanon Daily News
The Pennsylvania State Police announced Friday that troopers investigated 4,520 driving under the influence-related crashes and made 19,518 DUI arrests in 2016.
The total includes arrests for both driving under the influence of alcohol and driving under the influence of drugs and reflects a 3.8 percent increase from the number of DUI arrests in 2015, state police said in a news release.
The numbers are higher, however, because they only cover those arrests and crashes investigated by state police and do not include statistics from other law enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania
"Driving under the influence is a serious crime that puts innocent lives at risk every day," said Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Tyree C. Blocker. "Keeping the roadways safe is a primary function of this department, and we remain committed to preventing DUI through education and enforcement."
More:Proportion of drivers killed while under influence of opioids shows huge spike
State troopers certified as drug recognition experts also conducted 1,016 drug influence evaluations in 2016. DREs receive specialized classroom and field training to identify the physiological signs of impairment caused by a wide range of controlled substances.
"Alcohol, illicit drugs, and even prescribed medication can all negatively affect a person's ability to drive," said Commissioner Blocker. "Regardless of the method of impairment, a DUI conviction has long-lasting consequences including the possibility of monetary fines, license suspension, and even a prison sentence."
More:Changes to DUI law could create 'decision' for first-time offenders
In Troop L, which includes state police stations in Lebanon, Berks and Schuylkill counties, there were 941 DUI arrests, 241 DUI-related crashes and 62 drug recognition expert evaluations.
The DUI-related crashes in Troop L's jurisdiction included one on Jan. 20 when Paul and Leanna Gerhard, both 78, of 1300 E. Kercher Ave., died of injuries they suffered after a pickup truck driven by 22-year-old Joseph Fisher of Myerstown crossed the center lane in the 2400 block of East Cumberland Street and collided head-on with their SUV.
Fisher has been charged with vehicular homicide and is awaiting trial later this month.
More:22-year-old charged in fatal DUI crash
A complete list of DUI arrest totals, DUI crash investigations, and DRE drug influence evaluations broken down by troop is at the Pennsylvania State Police website, psp.pa.gov.
.As part of PSP's commitment to raising awareness about the dangers of DUI and the consequences of impaired driving, troopers conducted more than 1,600 driver education presentations in 2016. These presentations are offered at no charge to schools, community groups, and businesses by state police community services officers. To request a presentation, contact your local state police barracks or visit .psp.pa.gov.

Q: How to detach another client from tmux session? I run tmux in a terminal. Then in another terminal I attach to the same session. The first terminal is smaller than the second one, this makes tmux in the second terminal not use all available rows and/or columns. Assume I cannot get to the first terminal to detach.
How to detach the first client (first terminal) using only the second terminal?

A: http://www.dayid.org/comp/tm.html
re-attach an attached session (detaching it from elsewhere)
tmux attach -d

OR
tmux attach-session -d

A: An alternative to what you already know.
If you attach normally and only then discover (or recall, or suspect) there is another client attached, press prefixD (capital D, so most likely prefixShift+d).
This will present you a list of attached clients. If there is only one position, then it's only you. Tmux 2.3 initially highlights the acting client, but it also presents information that may help to identify clients. Entries look like the following:
(0)  /dev/pts/0: 0 [206x58 xterm] (utf8) (last used Thu Oct 17 12:57:17 2019)
(1)  /dev/pts/2: 0 [206x46 xterm] (utf8) (last used Thu Oct 17 13:00:38 2019)

Navigate with cursor keys, choose an unwanted client and press Enter to detach it (or q or Esc to cancel).

This article discusses the new features and functionality that are available in PortQry Command Line Port Scanner version 2.0.
PortQry version 1.22 is a TCP/IP connectivity testing utility that is included with the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Support Tools. Microsoft has released a new version of PortQryV2.exe. This new version includes all the features and functionality of the earlier version and has new features and functionality.
Note PortQry Command Line Port Scanner version 2.0 is no longer available to download. This article only introduces the features and functionality of it in case you have already downloaded it.
LISTENING This response indicates that a process is listening on the target port. PortQry received a response from the target port.
FILTERED This response indicates that the target port is being filtered. PortQry did not receive a response from the target port. A process may or may not be listening on the target port. By default, PortQry queries a TCP port three times before it returns a response of FILTERED and queries a UDP port one time before it returns a response of FILTERED.
When there is no response to a directed datagram, the target port may be FILTERED.
Most services do not respond to an unformatted user datagram that is sent to them.
Typically, only one correctly formatted message that uses the session layer or that uses the application layer protocol that the listening service or the program understands elicits a response from the target port.
When you troubleshoot a connectivity problem, especially in an environment that contains one or more firewalls, it is useful to know if a port is being filtered or if it is listening. PortQry includes some special features to help make this determination on selected ports. If there is no response from a target UDP port, PortQry reports that the port is LISTENING or FILTERED. PortQry then sends a correctly formatted message that the listening service or program understands. PortQry uses the correct session layer or application layer protocol to determine if the port is listening. PortQry uses the Services file that is located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder to determine which service listens on each port.
Note This file is stored on each Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000-based computer.
Additionally, PortQry version 2.0 can accurately determine if more UDP ports are open than can PortQry version 1.22.
PortQry uses the Services file in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder to resolve the UDP port 389. If PortQry resolves the port to the LDAP service, PortQry sends an unformatted user datagram to UDP port 389 on the destination computer.
PortQry does not receive a response from the target port because the LDAP service only responds to a correctly formatted LDAP query.
PortQry reports that the port is LISTENING or FILTERED.
PortQry sends a correctly formatted LDAP query to UDP port 389 on the destination computer.
If PortQry receives a response to this query, it returns the whole response to the user and reports that the port is LISTENING.
If PortQry does not receive a response to this query, it reports that the port is FILTERED.
In this example, you determine that port 389 is listening. Additionally, you can determine which LDAP service is listening on port 389 and certain details about that service.
PortQry uses the Services file in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder to resolve the UDP port 135. If PortQry resolves the port to the RPC End Point Mapper service (Epmap), PortQry sends an unformatted user datagram to UDP port 135 on the destination computer.
PortQry does not receive a response from the target port because the RPC endpoint mapper service only responds to a correctly formatted RPC query.
PortQry reports that the port is LISTENING or the port is FILTERED.
PortQry sends a correctly formatted RDC query to UDP port 135 on the destination computer. This query returns all the endpoints that are currently registered with the RPC endpoint mapper.
If PortQry receives a response to this query, PortQry returns the whole response to the user and reports that the port is LISTENING.
In this example, you determine that port 135 is listening. Additionally, you can determine which services or programs are registered with the RPC endpoint mapper database on the destination computer. The output includes the universal unique identifier (UUID) for each program, the annotated name (if one exists), the protocol that each program uses, the network address that the program is bound to, and the program's endpoint in square brackets.
Note When you specify the -r option in the PortQry.exe command to scan a range of ports, the RPC End Point Mapper is not queried. This makes the scan of a range of ports faster.
PortQry then waits for a response from the destination DNS server. If the server returns a response, PortQry determines that the port is LISTENING.
Note It is not important whether the DNS server returns a negative response. Any response indicates that the port is listening.
If NetBIOS is available on the computer where you are running PortQry, PortQry sends a NetBIOS adapter status query to the destination computer.
If the destination computer responds to this query, PortQry reports that the target port is LISTENING, and then returns the destination computer's media access control (MAC) address to the user.
If NetBIOS is not available on the computer where you are running PortQry, PortQry does not try to send a NetBIOS adapter status query to the destination computer.
portqry -n 127.0.0.1 -e 161 -p udp -cn !secure123!
Microsoft ISA Server support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. By default, ISA Server uses TCP port 1745 and UDP port 1745 to communicate with Winsock proxy clients and with firewall clients. Computers that have the Winsock proxy client program or the Firewall client program installed use these ports to request services from ISA Server and to download configuration information. Typically, these services include name resolution services and other services that are not HTTP-based (for example, Winsock connections). To determine whether the port is listening, PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that ISA Server accepts.
When PortQry queries TCP port 1745, PortQry downloads the Mspclnt.ini file from the ISA Server if the Mspclnt.ini file is available on that port. The Mspclnt.ini file contains configuration information that Winsock proxy clients and Firewall clients use.
; This file should not be edited.
; Changes to the client configuration should only be made using ISA Management.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. PortQry queries UDP port 1434 to query all the SQL Server named instances that are running on a SQL Server 2000 computer. PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that SQL Server 2000 accepts to determines whether this port is listening.
TFTP support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. By default, TFTP servers listen on UDP port 69. PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that the TFTP server accepts to determine whether this port is listening.
L2TP support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. Routing and Remote Access servers and other virtual private networking (VPN) servers listen on UDP port 1701 for inbound L2TP connections. PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that the VPN server accepts to determine whether this port is listening.
For example, by default, the FTP service listens on TCP port 21. When PortQry determines that TCP port 21 on the destination computer is LISTENING, it uses the information from the Services file to determine that the FTP service is listening on this port.
Note You can change the service that PortQry determines is listening on a port by editing the Services file. For additional information, see the "Customize ports that queries use" section of this article.
In this scenario, PortQry tries to use the Anonymous user account to log on to the FTP server. The result of this logon attempt indicates whether the destination FTP server accepts anonymous logons. PortQry returns the server's response.
In Example 1, you can determine the type of FTP server that is listening on the target port and whether the FTP server is configured to permit anonymous user logons.
In Example 2, you can determine the type of SMTP server that is listening on the target port.
-n (name): This parameter is required. Use this parameter to specify the destination computer. You can specify a host name or a host IP address. However, you cannot embed spaces in the host name or in the IP address. PortQry resolves the host name to an IP address. If PortQry cannot resolve the host name to an IP address, the tool reports an error, and then exits. If you enter an IP address, PortQry resolves it to a host name. If the resolution is unsuccessful, PortQry reports an error, but continues to process the command.
-p (protocol): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify the type of port or protocol that is used to connect to the target port on the destination computer. If you do not specify a protocol, PortQry uses TCP as the protocol.
TCP (default): Specifies a TCP end point.
UDP: Specifies a UDP end point.
BOTH: Specifies both a TCP end point and a UDP end point. When you use this option, PortQry queries both the TCP end point and the UDP end point that you specify.
-e (endpoint): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify the end point (or the port number) on the destination computer. This must be a valid port number between 1 and 65535 inclusive. You cannot use this parameter together with the -o parameter or the -r parameter. If you do not specify a port number, PortQry queries port 80.
-o (order): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a certain number of ports to be queried in a particular order. You cannot use this option together with the -e parameter or together with the -r parameter. When you use this parameter, use commas to delimit the port numbers. You can enter the port numbers in any order. However, you cannot leave spaces between the port numbers and the comma delimiters.
-r (range): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a range of port numbers to query in sequential order. You cannot use this option together with the -e parameter or together with the -o parameter. When you use this parameter, use a semi-colon (;) to delimit the starting port number and the ending port number. Specify a starting port that is lower than the ending port. Additionally, you cannot put spaces between the port numbers and the semi-colon. When you use this parameter, the RPC End Point Mapper is not queried.
-l (log file): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a log file to record the output generated by PortQry. When you use this parameter, specify a file name together with the file name extension. You cannot type spaces in the log file name. The log file is created in the folder where PortQry runs. PortQry generates the log file output in text format. If an existing log file with the same name exists, you are prompted to overwrite it when you run the PortQry command.
-y (yes, overwrite): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter together with the -l parameter to suppress the "overwrite" prompt when a log file exists that has the same name that you specify in the PortQry command. When you use this parameter, PortQry overwrites the existing log file without prompting you.
-sl (slow link): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to cause PortQry to wait longer for responses from UDP queries. Because UDP is a connectionless protocol, PortQry cannot determine whether the port is slow to respond or the port is filtered. This option doubles the time that PortQry waits for a response from a UDP port before PortQry determines that the port is NOT LISTENING or that it is FILTERED. Use this option when you query a UDP port across a slow or unreliable network link.
-nr (no reverse name lookup): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to bypass the reverse name lookup that PortQry performs when you specify an IP address together with the -n parameter. By default, when you specify an IP address together with the -n parameter, PortQry tries to resolve the IP address to a host name. This process may be time-consuming, especially if PortQry cannot resolve the IP address. When you specify the -nr parameter, PortQry does not look up the IP address to return the host name. Instead, PortQry queries the target ports immediately. The -nr parameter is ignored if you specify a host name together with the -n parameter.
0 (zero) is returned if the target port is LISTENING.
1 is returned if the target port is NOT LISTENING.
2 is returned if the target port is LISTENING or FILTERED.
You can only use this parameter together with the -e parameter. You cannot use this parameter together with the -o parameter or together with the -r parameter. Additionally, you cannot use this parameter together with the -p parameter when you set the value of the -p parameter to Both.
Important When you use the -q parameter together with the -l (log file) parameter, PortQry overwrites an existing log file that has the same name without first prompting you for permission to do so.
-cn (community name): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a community string or community name to use when you send an SNMP query. With this parameter, you must enclose the community string with exclamation marks (!). This parameter is ignored if you do not query a port where SNMP is listening.
portqry -n myserver -p udp -e 161 -l myserver.txt -cn !snmp string!
portqry -n www.widgets.microsoft.com -p both -r 150:170 -sl -cn !my_snmp_community_name!
-sp (source port): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify the initial source port to use when you connect to the specified TCP and UDP ports on the destination computer. This functionality is useful to help you test firewall or router rules that filter ports based on their source ports.
Cannot use specified source port.
Port is already in use.
Specify a port that is not in use and run the command again.
Cannot use source port 500, this port is already in use. Remote ISAKMP/IPSec services may only communicate with source port 500.
With PortQry version 1.22, users can query ports from the command line in a command prompt window. When you troubleshoot connectivity issues between computers, you may have to type many repetitive commands. With PortQry version 2.0, you can run commands this way, but PortQry version 2.0 also has an interactive mode. The interactive mode is similar to the interactive functionality in the Nslookup DNS utility or in the Nblookup WINS utility.
portqry.exe -local When you run this command, PortQry tries to enumerate all the TCP and UDP port mappings that are currently active on the local computer. This output is similar to the output that the netstat.exe -an command generates.
You can use this information to determine which ports are associated with a particular program or service that is running on the computer. In some cases, Portqry may report that the System Idle process (PID 0) is using some TCP ports. This behavior may occur if a local program connects to a TCP port, and then stops. The program's TCP connection to the port may be left in a "Timed Wait" state even though the program is no longer running. In this case, Portqry may detect that the port is in use. However, Portqry cannot identify the program that is using the port because the program has stopped. The PID was released. The port may be in a "Timed Wait" state for several minutes even though the process that was using the port has stopped. By default, the port remains in a "Timed Wait" state for twice as long as the maximum segment lifetime.
For example, if a connection's state changes from ESTABLISHED to CLOSE_WAIT, a change in state has occurred. When the port's state changes, PortQry displays the port's connection table. Portqry reports if a program is bound to the UDP port, but it does not report if the UDP port receives datagrams.
-v (verbose): For additional state information, include the -v parameter in the PortQry command-line. When you use this parameter, PortQry also displays the modules that are using the ports. For example, type portqry.exe -wport 135 -v.
As a result, PortQry checks TCP port 135 and UDP port 135 for changes every 2 seconds. You can specify a time interval from 1 to 1200 (inclusive). With this parameter, you can to watch for changes from every 1 second up to one time every 20 minutes.
With the -wport command, you can watch a single port for changes, whereas with the -wpid command, you can watch all the ports that the specified PID is using for changes. A process may be using many ports, and PortQry watches all of them for changes.
Important When you use either the -wport command or the -wpid command together with the logging parameter (-l), you must press the ESC key to stop PortQry for PortQry to correctly close the log file and exit. If you press CTRL+C to stop PortQry instead of ESC, the log file does not close correctly. In this scenario, the log file may be empty or corrupted.

Proud to be me: Aziz Al-Sa'afin
For journalist Aziz Al-Sa'afin, Pink Shirt Day represents an opportunity for Aotearoa to stand united against bullying.
"It will be the most amazing thing to see a sea of pink on the day. It's such a strong, positive and powerful message to send out there – it takes the power back."
Earlier this year Aziz made headlines after he was the victim of a homophobic attack on Auckland's Karangahape Road.
"The best thing that came out of that was I felt empowered to speak up on a national platform, and send a clear message that I'm not ashamed of who I am.
"I think we've all probably been guilty of not speaking up in the past, but what I've learnt is there's safety in numbers and if we can call it out, it will make a huge difference."
Words can hurt
Aziz says homophobia is often expressed through hurtful language.
"It's in the way we speak and what we say to other people. While many people won't pick up on it, you can't understand what those words mean and the weight of them unless you've felt attacked or vulnerable. People have definitely used words like 'camp' and 'gay' to try and emasculate me."
Aziz says communication is the greatest tool we have to fight any kind of bullying.
"Quite often it's our own friends and family who might say or do hurtful things to us. It's so important to have a conversation about it – sitting down and explaining why it's not okay, why it hurt you and explaining it can really help."
Support networks vital
Aziz also experienced bullying growing up and says his mum was a huge support through that time.
"She instilled in me to be proud of who I am and showed me that the people who matter to me have my back. It's so important to have a strong support network around you."
Support the person doing the bullying too
Aziz acknowledges that people who bully are often going through something themselves.
"It's true that the person doing the bullying is often coming from a place of hurt and this is their way of expressing it – that absolutely doesn't make it okay, but it's important to find out why they're behaving the way they are and do what we can to support them, too."
Aziz has some words of encouragement for people who are being bullied.
"Even if it feels like speaking to someone about what you're going through is the last thing you want to do – life will become better when you talk to someone. That could be a parent, teacher or even a helpline counsellor. It just helps to pop the negative bubble and makes sure you're not dealing with things alone."
On Pink Shirt Day, Aziz will make sure he speaks to the people in his life about bullying.

The nearly complete Chicago River Point building is in the foreground in this view down the Chicago River.
Andrew is waiting for Tanisha, undoubtedly feeling a little anxious. She said yes, all is well, and they were excellent clients.
Photo Nerdery: Sometimes I'll use the fisheye for the extreme angle of view, but cut back on the distortion in post so that I retain just a hint of the curve without the full "I'm shooting a skateboarding video" look.
I think I've figured out the photo settings on the phantom 3. It's not quite like having a 5d3 in the sky, but it's not shabby.
Long time no post! My bad.
I looooooove Open House Chicago. My family was nice enough to humor with visiting several of the sites, including The Rookery--as shown here. This looks like a frowning robot face to me.
Seeing the storm come in as I left work, I rushed to one of my favorite spots on the lakefront, next to Adler Planetarium. Spoiler Alert: I got very wet.
CameraNerdery: I used a super cheap piece of welder's glass taped to the front of my 35L in order to grab this 20 second exposure.
Had to stop for the sunset while crossing the Damen bridge over the north branch of the Chicago River.
PhotoNerdery: This is processed as Fuji Velvia. Shot with a Canon 15mm fisheye mounted to a 1Ds3 dangling over the railing of the bridge.
As you can see, I'm always shooting, even while not actively engaged in being an affordable Chicago wedding photographer.
I couldn't decide whether I liked this crop for its detail and texture better than the original composition. For a while I was fretting over which to post, but then I realized I run this space. So I'm posting both. Take that, internet.
Same information as the previous post.
The ARTic here lives up to its acronym. This unintended installation occurs in the foyer of the main entrance to the Modern Wing when all the slushy drippings from guests' shoes is heated by one of those plug-in space heaters, which steams the windows to be quickly crystallized by the sub-zero temperatures hitting the glass doors from the other side. At least I think this is unintended. Either way, it's as beautiful as much of what's inside. ...no offense to all the masters represented within the walls of the ArtIC, of course.
I was hanging out with Bruno for a few minutes, so I decided to try an extension tube (something I put between my lens and camera that reduces the minimum focusing distance, therefore maximizing the macro potential of a given lens).
I was driving home along Lake Shore Drive yesterday afternoon when I noticed how strange the waves looked. They were broad undulations with a near glass-like surface. I've never seen anything like it. Also, the water was marked with patches where brittle ice was forming despite the waves, which you should be able to make out on the wave in the foreground. I don't know if this is possible, but the water seemed to be moving slower than it usually does. It looked entirely alien. Every time the waves would break over the wall in front of me, it crackled into ice. The wind chill was below -20 yesterday. I was frozen through my fancy winter wear by the time I got back to my car.
I love the Wild Reef exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium. It's setup with a tall, bowed wall so that visitors have the vantage of a diver, which is what I like to imagine when I'm down there.
The Henry Ford is a blast. It's a great museum for children.
I took this photo during Open House Chicago inside the Ukrainian Catholic Church on the corner of Oakley and Chicago Ave. in Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood. I'm directly under the chandelier focal point (if a place this ornate can have just one focal point), and since I'm using such a wide lens, you can see the tops of the walls to my left and right. It's quite a sight in there.
This is an installation at The Art Institute of Chicago by Jesus Rafael Soto that transforms a gallery space into something surprisingly surreal. The plastic filaments hanging from the ceiling are lit in such a way that they're fascinating simply to look at. And walking through is akin to being underwater. I saw these military school students walking through, mesmerized--just as everyone else, and asked them to march through toward my camera. I thought the contrast of the ethereal context and the regimented soldiers would prove visually interesting. I'm not so sure that comes across. As processed, it also reminds me of a double exposure including the inverse of a bar code. It's neat, though.

The numerical solution of fractional partial differential equations poses significant computational challenges in regard to efficiency as a result of the nonlocality of the fractional differential operators. In this work we consider the numerical solution of nonlinear space–time fractional reaction–diffusion equations integrated in time by fractional linear multistep formulas. The Newton step needed to advance in (fractional) time requires the solution of sequences of large and dense linear systems because of the fractional operators in space. A preconditioning updating strategy devised recently is adapted and the spectrum of the underlying operators is briefly analyzed. Because of the quasilinearity of the problem, each Jacobian matrix of the Newton equations can be written as the sum of a multilevel Toeplitz plus a diagonal matrix and produced exactly in the code. Numerical tests with a population dynamics problem show that the proposed approach is fast and reliable with respect to standard direct, unpreconditioned, multilevel circulant/Toeplitz and ILU preconditioned iterative solvers.

Everton 3 Newcastle 1 - Sunday May 11th
Author Topic: Everton 3 Newcastle 1 - Sunday May 11th (Read 3610 times)
At last back to football again after a week of rubbish in the press.
Will be interested to see:
- who Keegan picks instead of Viduka
- what formation he goes with, he may go back to 4-4-2 with Owen and Martins up front for the first time together
- who will get Barton's place, probably N'Zogbia
- will he try some completely different formation, maybe 4-5-1
- after another gruelling week of negative headlines in the press, will the players do what Steven Taylor said and finish with a win to send the fans home happy for the summer.

Re: Everton v Newcastle - Sunday May 11th
Just getting ready to go out the door to the match at the moment. Here are a few quick pre match thoughts.
- I'd switch from the 4-3-3 as it just doesn't work without Viduka. It's nothing to do with any of his performances but the threat he poses just by standing in the middle of the park. Defenders know what he is all about and they have to drop off him a little in case he turns them. Smith doesn't really offer anything like that.
- I'd play Milner in the middle. Geremi hasn't be doing much of anything lately and leaving him on the bench won't do much harm. Letting N'Zogbia take over from Barton isn't a bad idea either.
- Not sure whether to play the 3 strikers or just the two. I'm tending towards the two at the moment.
Re: Everton 3 Newcastle 1 - Sunday May 11th
Well a disappointing end to a disappointing week to a disappointing season.
I hope Craig enjoyed his trip to Merseyside
Well I've just watched the match on Sky First and there were some optimistic aspects to the match:
- it was chosen as the Sky Football First top match
- Lua Lua I thought looked very neat and tidy for a 17 year old and showed what an advantage having pace is for getting you out of trouble.
- N'Zogbia looked a much better player today, worked hard for the team and was a constant threat
- What a good match Steven Harper had
- Beye looks a very classy right full back
So maybe a few pints, a few signings and we'll be up for the Premier League title next season and putting an end to that trophy drought.
Well you have to be optimistic when supporting Newcastle United
And here is Kevin's post match interview, sensible stuff, a clear target for next season of 5th place and nicely dodges the question at the end about the meeting with Mike Ashley earlier in the week:
http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid958992159/bctid1544597843
Apart from the match everything was enjoyable. Even the 10 hour round trip in the car went pretty quickly.
I was on the lower tier, right on the corner, pretty much next to the big screen that separated us from the home fans. Our lot were very vocal and we gave them plenty of stick throughout the game. An announcement that the Everton players would be returning to the pitch for a lap of honour only if supporters refrained from encroaching on the playing area was greeted with chants of "On the pitch" from our lads. They noticeably stepped up the police and steward line in front of the away support at the end of the game just to make sure nobody tried anything silly. Perhaps the best moment came after the final whistle as we exchanged applause with the players who opted to come over to the corner and give away their shits etc. As we were starting to make our way out the Everton fans who were all waiting for there players to reappear, looked towards our support and started applauding us. It wasn't just a handful either, whole sections of the stand on the other side of the screen were looking across applauding with their hands raised above their heads. I'm told that those on the other side were doing the same. Naturally we returned the gesture. It was one of those surreal moments of respect between two sets of fans that is so amazing to be apart of.
I met with Mike Ashley's 'heavy' before and after the game. I'm sure you all know the lad. He is the rather large built black gentleman that wears sunglasses and is often seen nearby Ashley in the crowd. Fantastic bloke and really seems to enjoy his football. Before the game he mentioned that Mike wasn't in the away end and was sitting in the posh seats for once, but he was still sitting in amongst us. Bumped into the lad again on the way out of the ground and we shook hands, discussed the game a bit and had a general banter as we made our way through the crowds.
Goodison itself is a horrible place and on approach it can easily be mistaken for some sort of factory from the wrong angles. ie the back of the main stand. Inside the stadium is very basic and I can understand why Everton are wanting to make the move to a new ground. I've got plenty of pictures of various parts of the ground to share that really show the difference in class between their facilities and our own. The pub before the game was worse. Little place just behind the main stand. Not sure when they last decorated if ever. No alcohol was being served inside the ground but top notch sausage rolls made up for it. A bit greasy but for £2.50 it was about a foot long. We need to start serving those at St James.
I'm not sure I want to comment too much on the match but seeing as it is a match review thread I guess I best post a few thoughts. I was able to see a little of what was going on down the far end of the pitch on the far away screen. The actual away seating was poor and even though we were standing throughout the match it was difficult at times to see what was happening because of the angle.
At the back I thought Taylor was dreadful and if ever there was a game that highlights why he shouldn't get a new contract then this was it. He can't defend the aerial ball into the box against a physical opponent and he struggles to deal with the one on one situation often choosing to back off and in doing so inviting the opposition to have a go at us. Truth be told, Taylor could be put at blame for all three goals with two poor attempts at headers and a foul in the box. Cacapa was just as bad. If I was to say he's off the pace it would probably be a compliment. He doesn't have the legs and will likely be out the door in the summer. The fullbacks did their usual good job, although they did suffer a little from having to link up with different players in front of them.
Damien Duff and Alan Smith went through another 90 minutes showing absolutely no reason why they should be at the club. Duff is incapable of beating anyone or putting a decent ball into the box. Almost like Geremi but he can't tackle so he really has no use. In the absence of Martins, Charles N'Zogbia looked like our only real outlet. Good little run to win the penalty, although I'd have loved to see him cap it off with a cool finish instead. I'd really like to hang onto Charlie over the summer as he is one of the few bright talents we have right now. Sadly his crossing ability let him down on several occasions but that's not much different to others in our squad.
Up top, Michael Owen struggled to get into the game and looked a bit lost without Viduka and Martins to play off. The lack of pace that Martins brings meant that Everton had no worries of us sneaking in behind their back line with a good ball over the top. Not that we had a man on the pitch capable of playing such a ball. Nicky Butt was having one of his off days where his World Cup passes were once again of the standard expected of League 2 at best. Andy Carroll has been a big topic of debate recently and for me he really failed to show anything to indicate that he can do the business. He actually strikes me as being rather similar to Shola Ameobi in the fact that he's looking to see what someone else will do for him more than trying to influence the game and make something happen for himself. He won a few headers and made a few of those chest passes that Jan Koller is famous for but other than that he never added anything to the attack. With Viduka out long term a new striker is a must.

Craig, 2 points I feel I must pick up on there which I thought but was waiting for your views having been there. I couldn't agree more on what you have said:
Steven Taylor
He seems to have a genuine problem picking up the flight of the ball in the air, the goal where it came off his head to Lescott, was shocking in that he had plenty time to take it and actually went towards it rather than back and ended up not reaching it. There were other examples where that happened as well.
His jockeying consists of standing square on to the man running at him with his arms out, just like the penalty. Rather than shepherd the forward away the forward has no option but to just run into him and geta free kick/penalty. Again a number of examples of that in this match.
Andy Carroll
My thoughts entirely, another Shola Ameobi, spent most of the match observing events around him and moaning to the referee. The cross from N'Zogbia that went across the 6 yard box as Carroll stood back on his heels looking on just about said it all. Keegan has been rght not to play him.
I did think that Lua Lua though definately merits first team exposure ahead of both Duff and Smith, something you could say Keegan has not got right this season.
I never commented on LuaLua but he is another one that I think will struggle to make it at the top level. Not only is he physically small, he hasn't yet displayed a standout attribute that would put him in position to be near the first team. Doesn't seem to have a lot of pace, trickery or even a range of passes.
Taylor continues to show me that he is as thick as mince. Not only does he constantly misjudge headers but he does rather stupid things like trying to attack a ball which is at head height in the opposition penalty area with his feet. Whether he got the ball or not he was always going to give away a foul. The guy doesn't seem to apply logic to scenarios and if he wasn't playing up to the supporters so often then I reckon he'd already have been dubbed the next Bramble.

I would like to know if there is a maximum number of downvotes a question can receive, or if once downvotes hit a certain number further downvotes are blocked.
Many of my posts had -10 and -20 all on one day. Did I upset someone? I do not see how all those could get downvotes all in one day.
I'm asking in relation to this question... but I think this could be a good general purpose answer.
My question Why is OpenJDK not preinstalled was downvoted 2 times. What's wrong with it? Or is it just that people think preinstalling it is a stupid idea?

DONNY SCHATZ: New Look!
Bad Boy Off Road/Chevrolet Performance Driver
Looking To Repeat Eldora Speedway Sweep with New Look
INDIANAPOLIS (May 4, 2016) – New Look. New Color. Same Winning Attitude. That's the mantra the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) team will proclaim this weekend at Tony Stewart's Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. Seven-time World of Outlaws (WoO)Craftsman® Sprint Car Series champion Donny Schatz will debut the TSR No. 15 Bad Boy Off Road/Chevrolet Performance J&J, featuring the new Bad Boy® Off Road brand marks, with the goal of repeating his Eldora WoO sweep last May.
TSR and Bad Boy, a division of Textron Specialized Vehicles, are in their fourth season together and both continue to be driven to dominate any challenge they are faced with. Earlier this week, Bad Boy unveiled the game-changing Stampede™ 900 4×4, an 80-horsepower beast of a side-by-side vehicle that Schatz and Stewart spent hours tackling trails with last Monday in Texas. Their reaction after driving the Stampede confirmed the company's mission to build an off-road vehicle with big-time power and performance that makes anything possible. Bad Boy vehicles are driven by bold people and the brand is driven by their passion.
During his first 19 years of WoO competition, Schatz has had his moments of being bold at one of the most intimidating tracks on the circuit. Last May, he ended a five-year winless streak at the high-banked, half-mile dirt oval when he raced past Kerry Madsen on lap 14 of the 30-lap A-Feature to capture his first Eldora win since he was crowned King in the 2009 Kings Royal. Schatz completed the weekend sweep the following night by leading all 30 laps of the WoO A-Feature to score his seventh career Eldora win and eighth of 2015. When the Outlaws returned in July, Schatz was looking to become a three-time Kings Royal winner and had a stranglehold on the field before a fuel issue with less than five laps remaining took him out of the lead. He ultimately finished sixth in the 40-lap race and came back in September and earned a fourth-place finish in the 4-Crown Nationals. His Eldora wins in May were part a career-best 31 triumphs in 2015 for Schatz, a seventh WoO championship and 20th championship for TSR.
Schatz has finished inside the top-10 14 consecutive races at Eldora and in 25 of his last 27 starts. History has also been on his side at the famous track built by the late Earl Baltes. His first victory at the track came in August 2002, when he scored the non-sanctioned $100,000-to-win Historical Big One. He followed May victories at the track in 2008, 2009 and again last year with WoO championships.
The Fargo, North Dakota racer and his TSR team of Rick Warner, Steve Swenson and Brad Mariscotti are tied for most wins so far in 2016 with five WoO A-Feature triumphs, and also lead the series in KSE Hard Charger Awards with five. Schatz has finished inside the top-five 13 times in 20 races this season and finished inside the top-10 18 times. The team ranks third in the WoO championship standings with 2,172 points, 105 out of first. Schatz finished fourth in the most recent WoO A-Feature April 26 at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas. Last weekend's events in Salina, Oklahoma and Pevely, Missouri were lost to rain.
For both events at Eldora Speedway, the pit gates and grandstands will open at 2 p.m. EDT. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit www.eldoraspeedway.com or call 937-338-3815.
Race fans unable to attend this weekend's races can catch all of the action on DIRTVision.com. Fans can listen free as Johnny Gibson, "Voice of the Outlaws," calls the action as he does at all WoO Craftsman Sprint Car Series events on the DIRTVision.com cybercast, as well as on the DIRT Radio Network. Go to www.DIRTVision.com for more information.
Throughout your career with the World of Outlaws, Eldora Speedway has been one of the premiere tracks. What does winning at Eldora mean to you?
"It's an incredible honor to win races at Eldora. There's so much tradition and mystique about that place. Earl (Baltes) built an incredible dirt track and put on some really big races. When you think of dirt-track racing, Eldora is always in the conversation. As a driver, you want to win everywhere you go and winning at places like Eldora takes a lot of work. It took me a long time to get that first win and there's a lot of pride and appreciation in all the wins we've got there. Tony (Stewart) has carried on Earl's tradition and his staff continues to make renovations. It's a speed palace and we're extremely excited about getting to race there this weekend. My guys worked really hard the last few years to get us a combination to have the speed you need to win there. We had a good car for a lot of years, but it felt like we would just come up short. Last year, we broke through with a pair of wins in May. That's was big for us. We're looking to continue building on what we learned last year and be in a good position at the end of night Friday and Saturday again."
This week, Bad Boy unveiled a new vehicle and the Bad Boy Off Road rebrand that will be on your car. Is there any added motivation going into the weekend racing a new scheme at Eldora?
"We are all really excited about the new Bad Boy Off Road brand and having the ability to represent them. They had us in San Antonio last week to unveil the Stampede to dealers from all over the country and world. Tony and I drove them and had a lot of fun. It's an incredible sport-utility vehicle. For us at TSR, it was important to bring out the new car just after the launch. It's like a new season, where you come out with a new look, new colors. We know we only get one shot at a first weekend in the car, so we're hoping to make the most of it and have a chance to win a couple of races with the new car. It's a really sharp-looking car and we're hoping to have a great deal of success with it the rest of the year."

As usual, you photographs are amazing! The one of the kayakers paddling past the island with the red flowers in the foreground is simply stunning. My husband and I recently departed from the northeast in our airstream with the intention of reaching the pacific northwest sometime in the fall. Through your blog I have fallen in love with the Orcas Islands and can't wait to visit them in person. Thanks for the inspiration!
Amanda, I am so happy that I am able to inspire you to come and visit the islands. We love it here so much and always find ourselves coming back again and again. There is just something so special about these islands :) Thank you so much for your kind words and please do keep me posted about your journey here!
I am a boat captain based out of Friday Harbor. I found your card on our boat yesterday, and was delighted to be introduced to your blog site – a feast for the eyes with your beautiful images! Very nicely done. When not cruising on our boat, we spend time traveling with our RV, also. I pass by Yellow Island several times a week and had a happenstance meeting with Phil at the laundromat in Friday Harbor. Nice guy.
We are from south Texas, but enjoy spending the summer in the San Juan Islands. If you find yourself in Friday Harbor, stop by San Juan Safaris; my wife works in the office, I am on the boats. It would be a treat to meet you.
P.S. We are just back from camping at Kalaloch. You'll have to put it on your list. Our children had an amazing time at Beach 4 (great tide pools) and Ruby Beach (Driftwood fort building). So beautiful.

Newly Promoted NJ Police Captain Arrested For Stalking And Assault On A NJ Councilman
An Irvington, N.J., police captain is under arrest on charges she reportedly stalked and assaulted a Newark, N.J., city councilman.
On Monday afternoon Monique Smith, 43, attended a ceremony promoting her to police captain. Later that evening she attended an event at a club in Irvington to celebrate that promotion, according to authorities who spoke with ABC 7.
Police claim that around 11 p.m., Newark Councilman John James was nearing his home when Smith confronted him. Police told the news station that Smith was irate, yelling at James, who drove off. Smith reportedly got into her car and followed James and began ramming his car with hers. James detoured his route, driving to his parents' home, "where his father, ex-Mayor Sharpe James, intervened on his son's behalf," the news station reports.
Police officials note that Smith was not on the scene once they arrived, but was later arrested and charged with several domestic violence charges, including stalking, harassment, possession of a weapon, possession of that weapon for an unlawful purpose and aggravated assault, according to ABC 7.
The news station notes that Smith has been suspended without pay and that she could face additional charges once an investigation is complete.

These advantages have double benefits, having both functional and aesthetic reasons for being so . One wonderful benefit of window blinds is that they are able to control the amount of light that enters a certain room. For example, if they wish to cover the whole room in shade, they may do so with a single pull of the strings connected to the blinds, and if they wish to cover the room only partly, they can also do this. These window blinds can even be very tightly shut, as when one needs to sleep in in the morning and does not wish to be disturbed by the sunshine, or when one needs the darkness to enjoy a favorite movie. When one can control how much light enters a room, he or she will certainly enjoy this comfort and convenience.
If you decide that you want window blinds in your room, you will find that there is just everything in the market: different shapes, sizes, colors and designs of blinds to choose from. Because of this, they can choose a theme and follow it, creating something beautiful out of a bedroom, kitchen, living room, and just about any part of the house that can be installed with blinds. You can buy blinds in any color you wish as well as blinds which are particularly styled to match the theme of your house; you can get roman blinds, vertical blinds, patterned blinds, or blinds that will be safe in a home which has children and pets. You can definitely find what you are looking for when you go shopping for blinds.
Blinds are also wonderful because they are made out of many different materials. They come in wood, and one can enjoy the benefit of having wooden blinds in a room decorated with wooden furniture. They come in aluminum and match rooms which were decorated to look minimalist and modern. They come in bamboo for nature lovers and those who have decorated their rooms as such. Window blinds come in any type of material, and it is certainly very easy to pick out some that will match a room perfectly. Window blinds are wonderful, not only because they are beautiful home decor, but also because they are very functional and convenient to use.

Leistikow: Iowa loses a QB, finds a WR in Ryan Boyle
Chad Leistikow
cleistik@dmreg.com
IOWA CITY, Ia. — In the final days of spring football practice, Iowa lost two quarterbacks.
One pitfall, thankfully, isn't permanent; C.J. Beathard's throwing shoulder is going to be fine.
The other, with any luck, will be.
Ryan Boyle was the unexpected talk of the Hawkeyes' spring game, four days into his career as a wide receiver.
The former Dowling Catholic star made the switch from quarterback on Wednesday. And on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, Boyle electrified the crowd of 18,460 with a 38-yard catch-and-run up the left sideline. Three plays later, on the last snap of the game, he elevated to catch a 6-yard touchdown pass over Ankeny Centennial alum Isaiah Kramme.
It was almost like Boyle was dominating the CIML again. As a quarterback at Dowling, he accounted for 97 touchdowns and two state championships.
"The rest of us have been playing receiver for at least five years," said Matt VandeBerg, the dean of Iowa's wide-receiver group. "So him three days in, and he's making plays like that? That says a lot."
Two nice plays against backups doesn't mean it's time to deem Boyle the next Marvin McNutt (who converted from quarterback early in his Hawkeye career and is Iowa's all-time leading receiver with 2,861 yards).
But Boyle's emergence is notable for two reasons.
One, wide receiver is one of Iowa's biggest question marks as it leaves spring camp.
Two, it shows that Hawkeye coaches are thinking outside the box to get their best athletes on the field.
"Players like that, it's just good to have those guys on your football team," head coach Kirk Ferentz said afterward. "We'll keep fooling around with this, and we'll see where it goes. There are openings on the receiver position ... so if he can make a contribution there, it'd be a great thing."
The weight-lifting record-setter at Dowling, Boyle (6-foot-1, 208 pounds) has the necessary physical traits and smarts (a QB already knows the offense) to make a quick, clean transition. The redshirt freshman has always been a playmaker.
I wouldn't be surprised if, when Hawkeye coaches were evaluating what Christian McCaffrey did to their defense in Stanford's 45-16 Rose Bowl rout on Jan. 1, they felt an extra nudge to identify their top athletes and devise creative solutions to get the ball in their hands.
That might be why we've seen more from Jay Scheel, another converted quarterback who had a big spring. That might be why we've seen a more concerted effort to get running backs LeShun Daniels Jr. and Akrum Wadley involved in the passing game.
Moving Boyle is smart. And even though Ferentz said it's not necessarily permanent, it would be a surprise if Boyle doesn't take this opportunity and — literally — run with it.
"He doesn't have a ceiling with his athleticism," VandeBerg said. "He can do just about anything he wants."
Beathard, who didn't play Saturday, said afterward he could easily picture throwing passes to Boyle next fall.
"Today, he had a good day," Beathard said. "He's got a bright future there at that spot."
Iowa's franchise quarterback had a scare of his own Wednesday, when he landed on his shoulder after a teammate was blocked into him during practice at Kinnick. Beathard's teammates were worried.
So was the head coach.
"It got quiet," Ferentz reported.
An MRI on Beathard's right shoulder revealed the best news possible: just a bruise. Some R&R should do the trick.
"I was nervous. There were times I was scared," Beathard said. "I did a lot of praying, and (the MRI) showed up negative. So that's good."
So instead of losing a quarterback to finish spring ball, Iowa might've found a wide receiver.
Boyle is ticketed for special-teams work at minimum. With dropped passes by four different players Saturday, there are clearly openings. Boyle surely sees that. The coaches see it.
This experiment just might work really well.
"I think he just wants to get on the field and compete," Ferentz said. "That's the one things that jumped out about him when you watch him as a high school player. He's just a tough and competitive guy."


In this lesson we shall try to understand the significance of the innovation of building a permanent house for God.
There is only one Torah source for building a Temple – the command to construct the Mishkan in Parashat Teruma: "And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so shall you make it" (Shemot 25:8-9). Chazal expounded the last clause: "'Even so shall you make it' – for future generations" (Sanhedrin 15b). We see then that there is no separate commandment to build a permanent Temple. In this sense, the differences between the Mishkan and the Mikdash are small, primarily technical, regarding the materials, the structure, and the location. Essentially, however, the Mikdash and the Mishkan are similar structures serving a similar function.
All this notwithstanding, the differences between the Mikdash and the Mishkan – regarding the location, the materials, the structure, the size, and the very existence of a permanent site for the resting of the Shekhina – are significant differences. The central theme of today's shiur is the meaning of these differences.
Thus Israel always had with them in the Mishkan the glory which appeared to them on Mount Sinai.
Now there was a tradition known to all that the place where David and Shelomo built the altar in the threshing floor of Arvana was the same place where Avraham built the altar upon which he bound Yitzchak. This, too, was the place where Noach built an altar when he came out of the ark. It was also the place of the altar upon which Kayin and Hevel offered sacrifices. There it was that Adam offered a sacrifice after he was created. Indeed Adam was created from that very ground. As the Sages have taught: Adam was created from the place where he made atonement.
There was a stone [= in the Holy of Holies] from the days of the first prophets, called Shetiya, three fingers high off the ground. At first, the Ark had been set upon it. After the Ark was removed, they would burn on it the incense that is brought inside. Rabbi Yose says: The world was founded from it. As it is stated: "Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth" (Tehillim 50:2).
And it was called Shetiya. A Tanna taught: From it the world was founded. The Mishna teaches in accordance with the one who says: The world was created from Zion.
[The world] was created from Zion – Zion was created first, and clods of earth adhered around it from all sides to the end of the world.
In other words, it was on Mount Moriah that the world began, the act of creation began, and the service of God began.
The Mishkan passed through various stations - Mount Sinai, the wilderness of Sinai, Gilgal, Shilo, Nov and Giv'on – without the selection of a particular place, and therefore without eternal sanctity remaining in any of these stations after the Mishkan's destruction. On Mount Moriah, in contrast, there was a choosing of the place, as Avraham called the name of the place in the story of the Akeida "God will see" (Bereishit 22:14) – that is, God will choose, and as is clarified by the expression, "The place that the Lord will choose," which repeats itself all through the book of Devarim.
God gave explicit expression to this selection in His oath to David: "For the Lord has chosen Zion: He has desired it for His habitation. This is My resting place forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it" (Tehillim 132:13-14), and as is stated in the psalm: "But He chose the Tribe of Yehuda, Mount Zion which He loved" (Ibid. 78:68).
Thus we see that Mount Moriah is a known place where one is to seek the place that God has chosen, this choosing being eternal and everlasting. The Mishkan in its various stations was the first step along the road to the everlasting resting of the Shekhina in one place.
III. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE OF THE MISHKAN AND ITS VESSELS AND THE MIKDASH AND ITS VESSELS.
We cannot discuss in this framework all the many details connected to the structure of the Mikdash, but we will briefly present here the main points.
* The length and the width of the Heikhal and the Devir (the Holy of Holies) in the Mikdash are twice those in the Mishkan (10x30 cubits in the Mishkan, 20x60 cubits in the Mikdash), and when we add the width of the Ulam (10 cubits), the total length reaches 70 cubits.
* The Devir has the shape of a cube: In the Mishkan – 10x10x10 cubits; in the Mikdash – the measurements are doubled: 20x20x20 cubits.
* The Heikhal in the Mikdash is three times as tall as in the Mishkan: the Mishkan is 10 cubits tall, whereas the Mikdash is 30 cubits.
To summarize, as a rule (except for the height) the measurements of the Mikdash are twice those of the Mishkan, with an addition of 10 cubits to the length of the building because of the Ulam. The relative proportions of the Holy of Holies and the Holy do not change.
a) There is the addition of the Ulam, 10x20 cubits that was not found in the Mishkan.
b) The height of the Ulam is not mentioned in Melakhim, but according to Divrei Ha-yamim, it was 120 cubits tall (II Divrei Ha-yamim 3:4).
c) The height of the entire building, the Heikhal and the Devir, was 30 cubits. The height of the Devir was 20 cubits. It is not clear whether the floor of the Devir was raised, and there were stairs (not mentioned in Scripture) between the Devir and the Heikhal, or whether the ceiling of the Devir was lower, but its floor was a continuation of the floor of the Heikhal.
d) Side structures surrounded the building on its northern, western, and southern exposures. Their overall height was 15 cubits (3x5) – half the height of the building. Their width: the lower balcony - 5 cubits, the middle balcony - 6 cubits, and the upper balcony – 7 cubits.
e) Two copper columns were added, Yakhin and Boaz, 18 cubits tall, each having a 5-cubit capital.
f) On the walls of the Mikdash there were carved figures of keruvim, palm trees and open flowers, similar to the decorations on the curtain of the Mishkan.
g) To the keruvim of the kaporet in the Mishkan there were added in the Mikdash two additional keruvim, each one 10 cubits high and wide (in other words, their wings filled the entire width of the Devir).
h) In the Mikdash windows not found in the Mishkan were added, wide without and narrow within.
i) Whereas in the Mishkan the openings were filled with curtains, in the Mikdash, they were filled with gates and partitions.
The walls of the Mishkan were constructed out of boards of shittim wood overlaid with gold that were placed in silver sockets. Its ceiling was made of curtains that were connected by silver or copper clasps. The hooks of the pillars of the courtyard were also made of silver.
The Mikdash (its floor, walls, and ceiling) was made entirely of stone, but inside it was faced with wood (cedar on the walls, cypress on the floor) that was plated with gold. No use was made of silver.
a) To the menorah that was fashioned by Moshe were added 10 menoras (I Melakhim 6:49) that were set from right to left (Yerushalmi, Shekalim 6:3).
b) 10 tables were added to the table that was in the Mishkan (II Divrei Ha-yamim 4:8).
c) The incense altar was covered with cedar wood (I Melakhim 6:20).
and the height of it shall be three cubits" (Shemot 27:1). The Sages disagree about what this means (Zevachim 59b): According to Rabbi Yehuda, the altar was ten cubits long, ten cubits wide (half the length and width of the altar in the Mikdash) and three cubits high. According to Rabbi Yose, the measurements were five cubits long, five cubits wide, and ten cubits high (the same height as in the Mikdash).
e) In the Mikdash was added a copper sea, which had not been in the Mishkan – with a volume of 2000 bat (about 60,000 liters), and it stood on 12 oxen.
f) In the Mishkan, there was a single laver and its stand. In the Mikdash there were 10 copper lavers, the volume of each one being 40 bat, which rested on 10 decorated bases, each of which having cast and movable wheels.
In the second part of this shiur, we shall deal, God willing, with the significance of these changes, but first we must deal with the question how they were at all possible.
The commentators explain there that everything had been received by the prophet Shemuel by way of prophecy (Radak) or by way of interpretation of the Torah with the holy spirit (Rashi).
"According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so shall you make it" (Shemot 25:8-9) - for future generations. Thus explained Rashi. And the Ramban asked: Surely King Shelomo, may he rest in peace, changed the altar, and did not fashion it according to its pattern. But I think that just the opposite needs examination. Why is "even so shall you make it" – for future generations, needed? Would you think to change anything from the pattern that the Holy One, blessed be he, carefully showed to Moshe Rabbeinu, may he rest in peace? And further examination is needed regarding the building at Shilo and the everlasting building [in Jerusalem] – who granted permission for this? The Holy One, blessed be He, showed Moshe Rabbeinu a Mishkan of boards and curtains. And even though it was built based on the word of the prophet, as it is written: "All this, said he, is put in writing by the hand of the Lord who instructed me" (I Divrei Ha-yamim 28:19), and regarding the second Temple, it was Chaggai, Zekharya and Malakhi, and the future building was shown to Yechezkel, nevertheless, who gave us permission to believe these prophets to innovate something. See the end of chapter Ha-Nechenakim (Sanhedrin 89b).
even so shall you make it" – for [future] generations, according to what I show the prophets of the generations. And from here there is permission to make changes in what God instructed in writing, including the changes in the altar made by King Shelomo, may he rest in peace. But that regarding which He did not show a change and which was made for generations, we must fashion them according to the pattern of the first vision shown to Moshe Rabbeinu, may he rest in peace, on the mountain. And the words of Rashi are correct, and the objection raised by the Ramban has been answered.
According to the Chatam Sofer, "According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so shall you make it" - for [future] generations," means that the building should be made in accordance with what God will show the prophets of every generation.
The Or Ha-Chayyim suggests another answer: "In my opinion, 'Even so shall you make it' refers only to the shape of the building, but not to its dimensions."
Whenever Israel came up to the festival, the curtain would be removed for them and the keruvim were shown to them, whose bodies were intertwisted with one another, and they would be thus addressed: You are beloved before God as the love between man and woman.
They may be compared to a bride: As long as she is in her father's house, she is reserved in regard to her husband, but when she comes to her father-in-law's house, she is no more so reserved in regard to him.
According to Rav Nachman, the connection between Israel and God in the Mishkan was similar to the connection between a groom and his bride while she is still living in her father's house, that is, during the period of betrothal. In such a situation, she conducts herself with great modesty, and thus Israel was warned not to gaze upon the holy vessels. In contrast, the Mikdash, God's permanent house, enjoyed the quality of marriage – like a bride in her father-in-law's house – when the connection is permanent and more intimate, and it is possible to gaze upon the holy.
Seforno describes here several unique qualities of the Mishkan: The Mishkan was built exclusively by members of the Jewish people, and in particular, by the righteous members of the generation. The nations of the world did not participate in its construction, and therefore it did not fall into the hands of the enemies, as did the First and Second Temples. The paucity of the Mishkan in comparison to the two Temples demonstrates that the resting of God's Shekhina depends on actions, and not on external splendor. The resting of the Shekhina was more constant in the Mishkan than in the two Temples.
And Rashi explains there (s.v. "And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land"): "
Because they have heard that You, O Lord, dwell in their midst and that You appear to them face to face and all this is in an affectionate manner, and they have not perceived of You that Your love has been detached from them hitherto." And indeed, we do not find that God made any changes in the resting of His Shekhina in the Mishkan in the wake of the sin of the spies or in the wake of any other sin. This stands in contrast to God's revelation to Moshe, which was interrupted during Israel's thirty-eight years of wandering in the wilderness, on account of the sins of the people (see Ibn Ezra on Bamidbar 20:1, s.v. be-chodesh ha-rishon). It turns out then that from the time of the dedication of the Mishkan in the second year after the Exodus from Egypt, and until the Mishkan was erected in Gilgal, there were no changes in the manner of the Shekhina's resting in the Mishkan in the fire and in the cloud. The resting of the Shekhina in the Mikdash, on the other hand, depended on the actions of Israel, as was explicitly told to Shelomo following its dedication (I Melakhim 6:11-13; 9:2-9).
It is precisely because the Mishkan was meant for the wilderness and for a limited and defined period of time, until Israel's entry into the Land and the building of the Mikdash, that the Shekhina rested unconditionally in it. This stands in contrast to the resting of the Shekhina in the Mikdash, which was meant to be permanent, and therefore was conditioned on observance of the Torah and mitzvot.
In this shiur, we have tried to understand the novelty of the building of a permanent house for the Shekhina. In the next shiur, we hope, God willing, to examine additional aspects of the building of the Mikdash, and discuss the significance of the differences between it and the Mishkan.
 The Ramban records here many parallel texts, and repeats what he had said in Shemot 23:34-35.
 In previous shiurim, we dealt at length with the significance of these connections.
 The Midrash finds an interesting connection between Mount Moriah and Mount Sinai: "From where did Sinai come? Rabbi Yose said: It was torn off from Mount Moriah, as challa is torn off from the dough, from the place where Yitzchak Avinu was bound. The Holy One, blessed be He, said: Since their forefather Yitzchak was bound there, it is fitting that his sons should receive the Torah there. And from where do we know that it will eventually return to its place? For it is stated: 'The mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains' (Yishayahu 2:2) – these are Tavor, Carmel, Sinai, and Zion. He-harim – five mountains, that is to say, as the number of the five books of the Torah" (Midrash Tehillim, ed. Buber, 68:9). According to the Midrash, Mount Moriah is likened to dough, and Mount Sinai to challa. The Mishna in Ta'anit 4:8 also identifies "the day of his wedding" (Shir Ha-shirim 3:11) with the giving of the Torah, and "the day of the gladness of his heart" (Ibid.) with the construction of the Mikdash.
 We dealt with this at length last year in our shiurim on the Akeida (Lessons 9-10) and on "The Place that God shall Choose" (Lesson 12). This difference is evident in the two times that the Rambam relates to the mitzva of building the Temple in his Mishneh Torah. In Hilkhot Beit Ha-bechira 1:1, he writes: "It is a positive commandment to make a house unto the Lord, designed for the offering of sacrifices and for making thereto a pilgrimage three times each year. For it is said: 'And let them make Me a sanctuary' (Shemot 25:8). The Mishkan which Moshe our master made is clearly described in Scripture, but it was for temporary use only. As it is said: 'For you are not as yet come to the rest, etc.' (Devarim 12:9)." But in Hilkhot Melakhim 1:1, he writes: "Three commandments – to be carried out on entering the Land – were enjoined upon Israel: to appoint a king, as it is said, 'You shall surely set him king over you' (Devarim 17:15); to destroy the seed of Amalek, as it is said, 'You shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek' (Devarim 25:19); and to build the sanctuary, as it is said, 'Even unto His habitation shall you seek and thither shall you come' (Devarim 12:5)." In Hilkhot Beit Ha-bechira, the mitzva relates to the construction of the building, whereas in Hilkhot Melakhim, the mitzva is to seek the place that God will choose, that is, the selection of the site.
When they came to Jerusalem, the bamot were prohibited, and were never again permitted, and this was 'the inheritance.'"
Let us briefly consider one additional aspect. In the wilderness, every member of Israel had a much closer relationship with the Mishkan, for the entire camp with the various tribes was arranged around the Mishkan. According to Rabbi Yishmael, as long as Israel was in the wilderness, around the Mishkan, the people were not permitted to eat unconsecrated meat, but only the meat of peace offerings from God's table (Chullin 16b-17a). Unconsecrated meat was, however, permitted upon Israel's entry into the Land, owing to the geographical distance from the Mikdash (see Devarim 12:20-28). The increased distance became even sharper with the building of a permanent Temple.
 The building of the Mikdash is described in I Melakhim 6-7 and in II Divrei Ha-yamim 3-4. The building of the Mishkan is described in Shemot 35-38.
 It is interesting that according to the Rambam (Hilkhot Beit Ha-bechira 1:5), the Ulam is described as one of the things that are essential in the construction of the Temple.
 We will explain below why we have included the keruvim in the section dealing with the structure of the Mikdash, and not in the section devoted to its vessels.
 The Vilna Gaon (on I Melakhim 6:15) explains that cedars were used to cover the walls because of their length and strength, whereas the cypresses were used on the floor because of their width. This is the meaning of the verse which states: "The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters are of cypress" (Shir Ha-shirim 1:17).
 According to the Vilna Gaon (on I Melakhim 6:20), Shelomo added the covering, so that the dimensions of the altar would be twice those of the altar built by Moshe.
 It is interesting that the Rambam in his introduction to the order of Zeraim learns from the verse, "All this is put in writing by the hand of the Lord who instructed me," that Shelomo's building constitutes the basic model for the Mikdash, and that it should be followed: "After Tamid, he arranged Middot, which contains only narratives enumerating the measurements of the Temple, its shape, its construction and this whole subject. The benefit to be derived from this matter is that when the Temple will be rebuilt, one should follow and make that shape and form and arrangement, because these come from Divine inspiration. As it is stated: 'All this is put in writing by the hand of the Lord who instructed me.'"
 The Seforno notes in several places that in the wake of sins, Israel became obligated in additional sacrifices. That is to say, the resting of God's Shekhina did not change; what changed were the preparations required of Israel in order to be worthy of the Shekhina. This is a broad topic, connected to the Seforno's whole understanding of the Mishkan. Unfortunately, we cannot expand upon the matter in this framework.

Online Games News
The latest update of the Dauntless.
So, the latest update of the Dauntless community gives us an opportunity to look behind the scenes into the development of the Thunderdeep Drask. The Thunder Depth Drask was introduced not so long ago as part of patch 1.7.1. The Thunder Depth Drask can be found at the "Dormant Thunder" event, only at Cape Fury in the Hunting Grounds.
But the update of the community "State of Fearlessness" touched on the legacy of the Drask "Thunder Abyss". As the story goes, in fact, it was first launched back in 2017 during closed beta testing. But at that time and during the development of the Thunderdeep Drask, it did not meet the internal quality level of the team. So they kept pushing him out. However, at some point, the players asked what happened to the hippo.
As the team put it,
"We knew that we wanted to return to the terrible version of this Behemoth and show him a little love, but over time, many of the original works have become a mystery. Some key pieces of information were missing, so a quick pass to Polish was not an option. So we decided to move forward with other new giants and features … But the call of Drask from the Thunder Abyss has always been in the back of our thoughts."
Eventually, of course, the team returned to the Thunderdeep drask and began a redesign that included new animations, new movements and much more. In the full post, there are small reels of film that you can watch, demonstrating the results of these animations and movements before and after. Next, the team discussed the future and what it may contain, including what 1.7.2 means for the Thunderdeep drask,
"With the launch of patch 1.7.2, this legend will be spread to other parts of the Destroyed Islands — so listen carefully to the characteristic crackling of lightning lizards breathing down your neck!"
Before Fearless officially received the Thunder Depth Drask, the team added subclasses and a new hunting pass.
