The Schweizer SGS 1-23 is a United States Open and Standard Class, single-seat, mid-wing glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York.

The original "standard" 1-23 was introduced in 1948. The aircraft quickly became the most numerous competition and performance sailplane in the USA. A total of 93 of all sub-models were built by the time production was completed in 1967.

Design and development
Schweizer Aircraft started construction of the 1-23 prototype in May 1948. The aircraft was completed and first flew on 5 July 1948, only nine weeks after construction had begun.

The prototype had been ordered by Bill Frutchy of Elmira, New York and the aircraft was available for him to fly it in the second half of the US Nationals.

The first production 1-23 was ordered by E.J Reeves. The success of this aircraft led to more orders and series production was commenced. The 1-23 was initially sold on a "factory direct" basis, which allowed them to be sold at a lower price than through the dealer network.

The 1-23 received Civil Aeronautics Administration type certificate 1G1 on 22 November 1949.

The type certificate is currently held by K & L Soaring of Cayuta, New York. K & L Soaring now provides all parts and support for the Schweizer line of sailplanes.

Operational history
A 1-23, flown by William Ivans, set a world altitude record for gliders on 30 December 1950, reaching a height of  42,089 ft (12,840 m).

1-23Ds were flown by Paul McCready to win the 1953 US Nationals and to set a distance record of 455.5 miles (733 km) by Joe Lincoln. Lincoln was awarded the Barringer Trophy in 1960 for that distance flight.

Paul Bikle flew the sole 1-23E to a world absolute altitude record of 46,267 feet for a record gain of 42,300 feet on 25 February 1961. The records were set in the Sierra Nevada lee wave between Mojave, California and Inyokern, California. Bikle flew the record flights without cabin pressurization or a pressure suit. His record stood for many years.

In April 2008 there were still 49 1-23s registered in the USA and 5 in Canada.

Variants

1-23
The original 1-23 model is also referred to as a "standard". The aircraft had a 43.83 foot wingspan and a glide ratio of 27:1, with a minimum sink of 2.3 feet per second.

Gross weight for serial numbers 1 to 11 was 600 lbs. Later 1-23 standards had a gross weight of 660 lbs. One "standard" was retrofitted at the factory with water ballast for Kim Scribner. There were 22 "standards" completed.

Many pilots like the faster roll and better circling characteristics of the "standard" over the later longer-winged versions of the 1-23.

1-23A
There were no 1-23As built.

1-23B
The "B" model was introduced in 1952 and incorporated a longer wing of 50 feet in span. The spars were standard 1-23 spars with a spliced section added. There was only one "B" model built. It was a custom order for Paul MacCready specifically to fly in the 1952 World Gliding Championships held in Madrid, Spain.

The production version of the "B" model was the "D" model. The 1-23B was not certified.

1-23C
The "C" model was also built in 1952 and, like the "B", incorporated a longer wing with a 50 foot span. The "C" had heavier wing skins and a heavier spar and, as a result, weighed 90 lbs more than the "B". There was only one "C" model built for the designer Paul A Schweizer specifically to fly in the 1952 World Gliding Championships held in Madrid, Spain.

The 1-23C was not certified.

The "C" was subsequently sold to by Larry Gehrlein who modified it to a large degree. It was crashed and rebuilt with a set of 1-23D wings. It was later damaged again in an accident and rebuilt by the factory as a "D" model. In the mid-1980s it was owned by the Rochester Soaring Club.

The "C" wings were also later rebuilt and used in the homebuilt Gehrlein Precursor. The Precursor mounts the 1-23C wings high on a Schweizer 1-26A fuselage to produce an aircraft with a 53.5 foot wing span and a glide ratio of 32:1.

1-23D

The 1-23D was introduced in 1953 and incorporated the improvements tested in the "B" and "C" models at the 1952 World Championships and beyond.

The "D" has a wingspan of 50 feet and a glide ratio of 30:1 at 48 mph, with a minimum sink of 2.0 feet per second at 36 mph. The gross weight on the "D" and later models is 750 lbs.

A total of 12 "D" models were produced. The aircraft received its type certificate on 1 June 1953.

1-23E
The 1-23E has 52.8 foot wings equipped with balanced dive brakes. It has a glide ratio of 31:1 at 46 mph and a minimum sink speed of 1.95 feet per second at 40 mph.

A single 1-23E model was constructed for Paul MacCready to compete in the 1954 World Gliding Championships held in Great Hucklow, United Kingdom. He flew the "E" to a fourth place finish. The aircraft was originally constructed without a wheel and used a skid for takeoff and landing. After the Worlds a wheel was retrofitted.

The aircraft was subsequently sold to Paul Bikle and he used it to set two world altitude records on 25 February 1961. In the mid-1980s it was owned by the Rochester Soaring Club. The 1-23E was not certified.

1-23F
The 1-23F was a 1-23E with the same 52.8 foot wings but was constructed with heavier gauge, butt-constructed wing skins. Only one was built.

The 1-23F received its type certificate on 12 June 1958.

1-23G
The 1-23G was the production version of the 1-23E and F. It retained the 52.8 foot wing and had the same glide ratio of 31:1 at 46 mph and a minimum sink speed of 1.95 feet per second at 40 mph. The "G" had a redesigned taller fin and top-surface spoilers only.

A total of eight 1-23Gs were constructed. The type received its type certificate on 12 June 1958.

1-23H and 1-23H-15
The 1-23H was designed by adding balanced dive brakes to the "G", designing a square fin and rudder to replace the rounded ones found on earlier models, adding removable wingtips plus other minor changes.

The "H-15" reduced the span from 52.8 feet to 49.2 feet (15.0 m) which, combined with the dive-brakes, qualified the type for the then new Standard Class. With removable wingtips the aircraft could be easily converted between the standard class and open class.

In its Standard Class configuration the "H-15" has a 29:1 glide ratio at 50 mph and a minimum sink of 2.2 feet per second at 37 mph.

The type received its type certificate on 13 March 1961 and a total of 47 were built, including 39 H-15s. Production of the "H" ended in 1967, completing a 19-year production run.

1-23HM
One production 1-23H was rebuilt as an experimental aircraft in the "racing-exhibition" category by Sterling Starr and designated SGS 1-23HM.

The HM was built by using a stock 1-23H fuselage and tail assembly. Starr built a new set of 54 foot (16.6 m) span wings with an aspect ratio of 23.5:1. The wings took 1500 hours to construct, but the resulting aircraft has a glide ratio of 33.2:1 which is a 7% improvement over the stock 1-23H. The HM later had retractable landing gear added.

The 1-23HM was flown in the 1966 US nationals.

The aircraft is registered as N94298 and is currently owned by Vincent Grisemer. It is on loan to the National Soaring Museum.

Behind the scenes in almost any area—medicine, transportation, agriculture, the environment, computing, entertainment, law, psychology, and the arts—is an army of chemists, biochemists, and chemical technicians who help prepare materials, analyze evidence, create new substances, and answer the "what is it?" questions that are presented each day. They help monitor the environment, convict the guilty, and keep us fed, clothed, sheltered, and healthy. And we will continue to need these scientists to help clean our environment, deliver high-quality health care, and improve our energy efficiency.
The bachelor's degrees in chemistry and biochemistry includes a broad selection of courses in the sciences and in mathematics that provides an excellent background for careers in a wide range of fields in science or teaching, or as preparation for professional schools, especially medicine (including dentistry and pharmacy).
Upon completion of the series of courses prescribed by American Chemical Society guidelines, students may be certified as professional chemists and awarded the American Chemical Society Certificate in Chemistry.
Faculty and Facilities
The Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society has approved the chemistry faculty, facilities, and curriculum. This is a clear statement of the quality of our program and our graduates to anyone in the field.
The permanent faculty have PhDs in chemistry, representing the major areas of the science. The small size of most major courses assures students of friendly, close contact with the faculty, allowing for hands-on learning of techniques and instrumentation. Short-term research projects with faculty are accessible to all chemistry students.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is housed in the newly completed Science Building and includes 10 teaching laboratories, four research laboratories, and a number of specialized instrument rooms.
A bachelor's degree in chemistry or biochemistry is the minimum requirement for starting a career as a chemist or biochemist. Graduate training is necessary for most research and college teaching positions. Nearly two-fifths of all chemists and biochemists are involved in research and development, extending scientific knowledge and creating new products in industries including pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Others work in manufacturing, in chemical analysis, in forensics, in environmental laboratories, as professors in colleges and universities, as consultants in industry and government agencies, and as marketing or sales representatives.
Growth in demand for industrial products (plastics, man-made fibers, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizers), the recognition of the need for pollution control, and improved health care programs will increase opportunities for chemists and biochemists. So will developing technologies for a net-zero emissions energy future.
Larger enrollments in chemistry education in the future will increase the need for chemists and biochemists to teach at universities and community colleges. In addition, there is an acute statewide and nationwide shortage of high school chemistry teachers. Our department is one of the only eight in the entire CSU system to have a degree program for future chemistry teachers approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. Plus, our campus has financial incentives for future science teachers that can pay for most of your college expenses.
Our department is uniquely poised to make significant contributions to the training of future scientists, engineers, health practitioners, and educators at all levels.

Hi Steve... understood what you have done... im thinking of doing the same in easier way.. Can we have sample of ur table????
Of course! There is always a method to my madness. The SELECT DISTINCT is to retrieve the complete list of aircraft that I have to do the 30 day evaluation on. The list of aircraft is unknown and always changing as new "flights" arrive in the list. I only added the WHERE clause to reduce the result set as I was figuring this out. In production it would just be "SELECT DISTINCT t.n_number FROM t_flight t" As for the CONVERTs. You're right on the z.date_range..I've already got the tally / calendar table as a DATE...so that CONVERT is unnecessary. However the t_flight table, that departure_date is really a DATETIME...the time the actual flight departed...so I do need to reduce it to just a DATE.
I'd still look to eliminate the DISTINCT. It's just going to slow things down. Same thing with the conversion. I get it that it's a DATETIME, but that conversion won't help you.

Q: LWJGL Some textures not working I'm trying to make a game with LWJGL.
SO I have my camera set up correctly and now I want to make a House with a working door.
The Front of the House is Textured but when I try du put the Texture on the door it doesn't work.
Main class
Texture wall_2 = loadTexture("wall_2");
Texture door = loadTexture("door");

And inside the Gameloop
        glLoadIdentity();
        cam.setView();
        House_Test.drawHouse(wall_2,door);
        Ground.drawGround(ground);

House_Test:
    public static void drawHouse(Texture tex, Texture tür){

    walls.draw(tex);
    roof.draw(tex);

    door.draw(tür);

     }

And the draw method of the door:
    public static void draw(Texture door) {
    glBegin(GL_QUADS);
    GL11.glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
        door.bind();
        glTexCoord2f(0,0);glVertex3f(-2,2, -15);
        glTexCoord2f(0,1);glVertex3f(-2,-3, -15);
        glTexCoord2f(1,1);glVertex3f(2,-3, -15);
        glTexCoord2f(1,0);glVertex3f(2,2, -15);

    glEnd();

}

A: Your texture is not getting properly bound. The glBindTexture() call (which I assume door.bind() eventually calls) cannot be called between glBegin() and glEnd(). If you call glGetError() it should return an invalid operation error in this case. Move the call to door.bind() to before the call to glBegin().
Also, the call to glClear() needs to be moved outside of glBegin()/glEnd(), too. Although, if you do that, the walls will get drawn, then cleared (erased), then the door will get drawn. So you probably want to put the glClear() before all drawing.

I first saw Fang-od lying on her home's wooden floor. Fang-od got up, welcomed us to her home, and prepared coffee and lunch for us. And, while partaking the prepped meal, we had a conversation with her, with Manong Francis as our translator, about tattoos and the preservation of the tradition.
When they were still teenagers, Fang-od and her friends sought to learn from the late tattoo master of their tribe. There were about five of them who underwent training for doing the traditional tattooing. All of them initially practiced it. The others, however, later on chose to get married and raise a family. Fang-od was the only one who pursued mastering the art and went on to become the last Kalinga tattoo artist.
We were told that Fang-od taught her niece, Grace, how to do the traditional tattooing. But, Grace's heart is not on it. I was surprised to find out that this was the case. I assumed that anyone from their tribe would consider it a privilege to be trained by and learn from Fang-od and become her successor. But, I later on found out that the younger generation didn't want to keep the tradition because of the stigma attached to tattooed Kalinga women.
There were stories about people from the village treating the tribe differently because of their tattoos. It was a surprise for me. Based on tradition, tattoos on Kalinga women signified that they were considered beautiful in their tribe. And, the men who had tattoos were only those who have participated and won a tribal war; thus, making them the courageous and strong ones. So, I thought that it would be considered a privilege. But, upon learning that there was a stigma attached to it, I got why the younger generation wouldn't want to continue the tradition. It's sad, though, because this is an art and it's worth preserving. It's something that they can call their own.

Meet the Badass Woman Who Designed Meghan Markle's Wedding Dress
Clare Waight-Keller
Who Is Clare Waight Keller?
10 June, 2018 by Marisa Tom
Image Source: Getty / Dominic Lipinski
The name Clare Waight Keller might not have been familiar a few weeks ago, but the royal wedding changed that. Clare is the artistic director of Givenchy and the woman responsible for Meghan Markle's custom Givenchy wedding dress — a moment she calls "the most memorable" of her career. It's safe to say, we're big fans. Here are five things you need to know about Clare and why you won't be forgetting her name any time soon.
She is the first-ever female artistic director of Givenchy. It took 66 years for a woman to take the helm of the historic luxury French fashion house, which was founded in 1952. But on May 2, 2018, Clare was announced as the artistic director — and 17 days later, Meghan would wear her custom Givenchy design down the aisle for all the world to see.
She worked on Meghan's wedding dress secretly for five months. That is one big secret to keep! Her husband didn't even find out that she was behind Meghan's dress until the morning of. Clare revealed that she, along with a small team of ateliers based in Paris, worked for months on the dress — and never let the secret slip.

She is behind some of our favorite red carpet looks. And chances are, you've also admired her designs. Case in point: Cate Blanchett in this rainbow-hued organza-tiered skirt and cutout top in Cannes and Lily Collins at the Met Gala.
She has some serious fashion industry street cred. She cut her teeth as a stylist at Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren before being hired by Tom Ford to lead women's ready-to-wear and accessories for Gucci in 2000. From there, she served as artistic director of Pringle of Scotland from 2005 to 2011, and then at Chloé from 2011 until her historic move to Givenchy this year.
She is a working mom of three. As a mom of three — 13-year-old twins and a 5-year-old — Clare knows a thing or two about work-life balance. In a Vogue interview, she said that "being a parent you just become really good at multitasking quickly, accurately, and efficiently, because you're so distracted." And she recognized just how hard it has been to juggle having a family alongside a fast-paced career in fashion. "I hate to say it but it's true, women are constantly overlooked because they are still prejudiced for having families, which I find very small-minded and not very progressive. It's hard because this industry isn't as welcoming as people think to get to the top."
Bonus: you can follow her next moves. Lucky for you (and us), Clare shares snippets of her life — from design inspiration to the celebrities who wear her designs to her insider point-of-view on Meghan and Prince Harry's big day — on Instagram. Follow her here!

Manchester United prioritising their transfer plans on two players
July 12, 2019 Sri Aswin Leave a Comment
Manchester United are reportedly prioritising their transfer business on two players during the final four weeks of the summer transfer window. The Red Devils have already landed the services of Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer, and they are currently giving importance to strengthening the central defensive department.
According to The Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are keen on pursuing the signature of defender Harry Maguire from Leicester City despite failing with an opening bid worth £70m. The same publication claims that the club are likely to follow up with another transfer offer, given the Foxes could be tempted to accept a package of around £75m.
Elsewhere, the Red Devils appear keen on sanctioning the sale of striker Romelu Lukaku, who has been on the radar of Inter Milan. Nerazzurri chief Beppe Marotta has publicly acknowledged that the club are in the running to sign the Belgium international and it is reported that United will hold fresh negotiations with the Serie A outfit in order to push through the forward's exit.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has placed the focus on bolstering the club's leaky backline this summer and Wan-Bissaka is expected to provide a significant improvement at right-back with his strong tackling and interception skills.
Likewise, Maguire has been a commanding presence for the Foxes in the past two seasons in the Premier League and he could potentially form the central defensive partnership alongside Victor Lindelof with his impressive concentration and distribution from the back.
Aside from Lindelof, United have four senior central defensive options in Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo, but none have managed to maintain a level of consistency with their performances. Bailly, in particular, has been hampered by numerous injuries while Rojo has been out of contention for a while.

El Calafate & Los Glaciares National Park
Here's a little known fact: The Andes has its own ice cap — the largest in the world beyond Antarctica and Greenland — whose pure, frigid waters feed 47 glaciers.
To protect this spectacular but sensitive natural area, the Argentine government created Los Glaciares National Park, the largest national park in the country. Almost a third of its area is covered in ice, while the rest is a fantastical landscape of lakes and forests, craggy mountains and shifting, calving glaciers. For trekkers and nature enthusiast, there are few better destinations in the world.
Two main bases exist for exploring the park: El Calafate to the southeast and El Chaltén to the north. El Calafate is the larger of the two, with a population of around 22,000. Both exist almost exclusively as tourist hubs, serving the backpackers, nature lovers and trekkers who come to explore the park.
El Calafate sits on the shores of Lago Argentino. And while it's lost some of its charm due to the tourist boom, it's lively and has all the services tourists might require. Tour offices line the main streets, alongside souvenir shops, restaurants, chocolatiers and adventure outfitters.
The town serves as the main hub for visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier, some 65 km to the west. The glacier is one of the main attractions in the whole of Argentine Patagonia, and tourists visit daily to watch and hear chunks of ice calve from the face of the spectacular glacier. It's also possible to go ice trekking on the surface of the glacier with various tour companies — just don't forget your crampons. You can get from El Calafate to Perito Moreno in less than two hours by local bus.
Alternatively, head to the park's northern border and the town of El Chaltén. Despite its smaller size, El Chaltén is officially designated the Trekking Capital of Argentina. It sits below the peaks of Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy, both of which attract climbers. Trekkers can spend countless days on the trail networks that run from the town into the surrounding Los Glaciares National Park. Many of the most popular treks head to various glacial lakes, including the dreamlike Laguna Torre, about 10 km west of the town.

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on limiting the affect that Marketo's JS scripts have on site speed.
Which, to my understanding, is caused by Marketo attempting to pre-fill a form located on our homepage. I tried disabling auto-fill on the homepage form and this POST admin-ajax.php slowdown still persisted.
So... in addition to the specific questions above, I'm just wondering in general - does anyone have tips for using Marketo on a WordPress site and still having a fast load time?
That hit to your admin-ajax.php isn't Marketo trying to load anything.
You're not only using the regular Marketo form embed -- you also have a 3rd-party WP plugin that is attempting to call the Marketo REST API for every hit. Such plugins are never a good idea, for reasons of both security/reliability and performance.
From a performance standpoint, there's no way such a request could be guaranteed to complete in less than the sum of (roundtrip to your PHP box + roundtrip to Marketo identity endpoint + roundtrip to Marketo lead lookup endpoint). That "unprimed" set of transactions could easily take a few seconds and there's nothing you can do about it. The API just isn't meant to be called in this way. Even if cached information is sometimes usable, it can't be guaranteed so you have to expect the unprimed baseline.
From a security/reliability standpoint, things are even worse. Such plugins allow a malicious person with zero technical skills to consume all of your API calls in a matter of minutes, bringing down your other API-based integrations as well as this feature. Capping the number of API calls that can be used by this particular client app at least protects your other integrations -- but makes this one even easier to bring down.
Thank you so much! Very new to Marketo and it's amazing to get such a detailed response on my first post.
If you or anyone else has any quick tips on how to locate the specific plugin that is calling the API, it'd be much appreciated! I'm just digging into a new site that was built on a custom WP theme so it's still quite new to me. If not I'm sure I'll find it - worst case scenario by disabling each plugin one by one.
It would be something with the word "Marketo" in it.
There's no need for a plugin to load Marketo form embeds, so if there's any Marketo plugin at all it's surely the one also trying to use the API.
Can you link to 2 pages, one with the old code and one with the new?
The current form (using the shortcode) is live on the homepage - https://www.quickmobile.com/ - about halfway down the page, under the heading "Start planning tech-savvy events".
Those pages have totally different surrounding DOM elements though. So it's not surprising the layout is different.
The presence of an old-fashioned <center> tag only in the new version is definitely unexpected. But either way the HTML is different.
Thank you. I spotted a couple of form and div classes missing and added them, which solved the centering issue. I removed the <center>'s.
Now the last issue I'm having is with the form styling. The shortcode seemed to solve these issues but I can't figure out how to do so manually. I've searched through everything I can find related to form responsiveness and tried a lot of different custom CSS modifications.
1) Is there a way to force the "Business Email" field to width:100% without doing the same to First Name and Last Name? I was able to get them all to 100% by editing .mktoFieldDescriptor but that stopped First Name and Last Name from sharing a row. I tried to modify just Email through the class #Email and that didn't work.
2) Also, the checkbox and "I'd like to receive..." text are in separate rows but should be on the same one.
The shortcode wouldn't have changed anything magically -- can't you see in the shortcode implementation what else (i.e. a local <style> tag, perhaps) it was injecting?
If you have an existing correct HTML/CSS layout you should be able to find the specific ways it differs.
I looked in the shortcodes.php file but I couldn't see anything that helped me know how to style the form to display properly, as it is on the homepage using the shortcode.
//Redirect to our specified success URL.
//Run our JS code to initialize the Marketo form. This includes adding additional CSS classes so we can mark up the page more easily.
Posted code isn't readable otherwise.
Updated... hopefully it works now?

NFL Draft 2020: Raiders in good position despite Bears' win vs. Lions
Josh Schrock
A few weeks ago, it looked like the Bears -- who were sinking to the bottom of the NFL -- might be sending the Raiders a top-10 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to complete the Khalil Mack trade.
That hope appears to be gone now.
The Bears now have won three of their last four games, the latest a 24-20 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving. Chicago now sits at 6-6, but has a difficult schedule to finish the season. Still, a 6-10 record likely won't be enough for the Bears to drop back into the top 10, with so many NFL teams racking up the losses this season. (Yes, we're talking about you Bengals, Dolphins, Washington, Giants, Lions, Broncos and Jaguars.)
Still, all hope is not lost for the Silver and Black. There still are a number of great prospects that will be available in the middle of the first round. Yes, that probably means Isaiah Simmons and Derrick Brown no longer are an option, but again, that doesn't mean all hope is lost.
We already looked at a few of the Raiders' potential draft targets, but let's pinpoint a few more that might grab Jon Gruden's attention.
Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama
If we've seen anything this season, it's that the Raiders need to find a long-term solution in the middle of their defense. Yes, they like Vontaze Burfict and he might be back next season, but they need more than a veteran on a one-year deal. Enter: Dylan Moses.
The Alabama linebacker is an explosive player, with sideline-to-sideline ability and a nose for the football. He missed this season with a torn ACL, so it's unclear if he'll remain in school to improve his draft stock or come out, but he'd be a great fit in Paul Guenther's defense.
Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
We know the Raiders need a wide receiver. Oklahoma star CeeDee Lamb and Alabama burner Henry Ruggs both would be ideal targets, but we've covered them before. So, let's talk about one of the under-the-radar receivers in the elite 2020 class -- Tee Higgins.
At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, the Clemson star is the perfect big-body wide receiver for the NFL. Higgins is an improved route runner who excels at boxing out smaller defenders and going up and high-pointing the ball for big downfield gains. Higgins has been a big vertical threat for Trevor Lawrence and could be the same for Derek Carr.
Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina
Shed a tear for missing out on Derrick Brown, who almost certainly will go in the top-10. Still, Kinlaw wouldn't be a bad consolation prize for a Raiders team that needs a force in the middle to help shore up the defensive line.
Kinlaw moves really well at 6-foot-6, 310 pounds. He's an explosive rusher who is a physical freak. The Raiders need help pressuring the passer and Kinlaw can provide that up the middle, making life easier for those on the outside.
[RELATED: Carr plans to 'raise standards' for himself, Raiders rebuild]
K'Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU
This might be a bit of a reach in the middle of the first round, but Chaisson has elite pass-rushing skills, he just needs to stay on the field. After an incredible freshman season, the LSU star tore his ACL one game into his sophomore season.
He hasn't been as dominant as many expected he would be this season. Chaisson has only notched two sacks and one forced fumble on an LSU defense that has been on the field a lot and has underperformed from a talent standpoint. The Raiders might not want to gamble on a boom-or-bust prospect like Chaisson, but expect him to be on their board come April.

The Palisades Sill is a Triassic, 200 Ma diabase intrusion. It extends through portions of New York and New Jersey. It is most noteworthy for The Palisades, the cliffs that rise steeply above the western bank of the Hudson River. The ideal location and accessibility of the sill, as well as its unique features, have generated much attention from nature enthusiasts, rock climbers, and geologists alike.

Location

The outcrop of the Palisades Sill is quite recognizable for its prominent cliffs above the Hudson River; it is easily seen from the western portions of Manhattan. The exposure is approximately  long, most of it following the Hudson River. It first emerges in Staten Island in New York City. The sill then crosses the state line into New Jersey, where Jersey City, Union City, Fort Lee, and Englewood Cliffs all lie on it.

The sill eventually crosses back into New York, following the Hudson River north until reaching Haverstraw. It is at this point that the sill makes a turn to the west, where it disappears near Pomona.  At this turn, the sill cuts across local strata, making it a dike in that area, not a sill.

It has been proposed that the sill reemerges in two locations in Pennsylvania (where the outcrops are also discordant with local strata), but this idea is not generally agreed upon, and discussion of the Palisades Sill is usually limited to the exposure in New York and New Jersey.

A portion of the sill is also home to the Palisades Interstate Parkway, a stretch of road that passes through the park area preserved by John D. Rockefeller to protect its natural beauty.

Geology

The end of the Triassic Period saw large-scale rifting during the break-up of Pangaea. What is now eastern North America began to separate from what is now north-western Africa, creating the young Atlantic Ocean. Magma was generated through decompression melting, and a portion of it was intruded into the sandstones and arkoses of the Stockton Formation within the Newark Basin, one of the Eastern North America Rift Basins. The magma would eventually solidify and, after millions of years, the overlying rocks would be uplifted and eroded, exposing the Palisades Sill as we know it today.

The composition of the sill is that of diabase, although its mineral assemblage is not uniform throughout the thickness of the body. The mineralogy of the sill consists principally of plagioclase feldspar, several varieties of pyroxenes, and olivine, with minor biotite, titanite, zircon and oxides.

Most researchers report that, generally speaking, the sill becomes progressively differentiated as one moves away from either the upper or lower contact. The "sandwich horizon" is the term given to the central region where both cooling fronts met; it is here where the diabase is the most differentiated.

The most intriguing geological feature of the sill is a 10-meter-thick olivine-rich zone roughly 10 meters (30 ft) from the lower contact. The modal percent of olivine goes from 0-2% within the main body of the sill to up to 28% within this layer. It is the origin of this layer, and subsequently, the sill as a whole, that has generated much of the attention, as well as the varying origin theories proposed for the intrusion (see below).

There is an average stratigraphic thickness of 300 meters (~1000 feet), with the famous cliffs rising 100 meters (300 ft) on average above sea level. The intrusion dips between 10 and 15 degrees westward for most of its length. It has been determined through stratigraphic studies that the sill was intruded at a depth of approximately 3-5 kilometers. These studies also concluded that the sill was emplaced in a position nearly identical to its current one (10-to-15-degree dip); this is further confirmed by the still-vertical orientation of the columnar jointing.

It has been proposed that the Watchung basalt flows of the Watchung Mountains are extrusive eruptions of the same magma that created the Palisades Sill. Magnetic and gravity measurements have indicated the presence of a large subsurface dike between the Palisades intrusion and the Ladentown basalt, an extrusive body of Watchung basalt north of Suffern, New York.  More recently, the various Watchung flows have been correlated to geochemically distinct layers within the Palisades sill, bolstering the theory that eruptions of the Palisades magma were responsible for the episodic flood basalts of the Newark Basin.

Origin

Due to the presence of the olivine-rich zone, the normally difficult task of determining the history of an igneous body becomes even tougher.

The original studies concluded that the sill was the result of a single injection of magma. The variety in mineralogy was credited to simple crystal fractionation.
The next model introduced whole rock geochemistry data and determined that there were at least two separate injections; an olivine-rich magma was followed by normal tholeiitic basalt.
The third hypothesis instead proposed at least three, but probably four separate pulses, with the olivine-rich magma being the final one. This was also conjectured through the use of whole-rock chemistry.

Each of these theories supported the idea of crystal fractionation playing a significant, if not total, role in the differentiation of the sill. A single source for the magma was assumed.

The latest conclusion reached for the origin of the intrusion was that the olivine in the olivine-rich zone could not have been in equilibrium with the rest of the body, indicating more than one source for the magma. This was determined through mass balance equations. It was also suggested that lateral flow within the still-liquid body played as important a role in differentiation as fractionation.

Due to the interest in the subject, and a lack of a satisfactory conclusion, research on the Palisades Sill is currently ongoing.

When a person deals with problems such as domestic violence or abuse, it is of crucial importance that they have someone who they can talk to and who knows how to help them. With the Women for Change project, Center for Girls educates women to be points of contact for people who need help with these issues. On the 5th and 6th of May, Center for Girls provided training to the women leaders of this project in order for them to learn how to respond to issues that people need help with.
As a part of the Diakonia sponsored "Women for Change" project, 36 women from 18 villages (2 per village) in Si Don Chai Sub-district have been selected to be women leaders. These women will act as a point of contact for their village in cases of, for example, domestic violence, family problems or abuse. They will be able to speak with the ones involved, mediate, refer them to other organisations and/or help with reporting to the police when necessary. This way, as the local villages are close communities, people will have someone close to them who is able to assist them with problems. Center for Girls is training the women leaders and providing guidance and assistance when needed.
The main objectives of these trainings were to train the women leaders on topics such as gender-based violence, leadership, women's rights and national law, and to provide them with skills for giving basic counselling and assistance.
During the first day, the women discussed various introductory topics, such as gender equality, the different roles or men and women in society, domestic violence and violence against women. They shared their thoughts about the meaning of violence and different types of violence. The most important examples of this were physical, sexual, economic and emotional abuse. The open discussion about these sensitive topics raised the women's confidence to take on these issues within their own community.
The following day, the programme continued with case study projects. The participants were divided into four groups and were asked to prepare one of the following cases: a fight between a husband and wife, a father physically abusing his children, a husband physically abusing his wife, and child marriage. By means of discussion and roleplay, the women thought about what could happen during one of these situations, appropriate ways to respond, and effects that mediation and assistance by the women leaders could have. Finally, the participants brainstormed about the qualities that are needed to be a good leader, and the duties that belong to a leader.
The women leaders used roleplay to think about how to respond to problems in their village
What are the qualities and duties of a good leader?
There will be more trainings in the future, but this was already a fantastic start for the women leaders in realising their great potential and the positive effect they can have on the people and the issues in their village.

What follows is an excerpt from my new book, T. F. Torrance in Plain English. Here I draw out the implications of one of Torrance's primary insights: kata physin, which simply means knowledge in accordance with the reality we come to know. This axiom is the subject of chapter two in my book, and this excerpt follows it in what I call a "sidebar," which directly addresses the problem with apologetics. Sidebars such as this serve to draw out conclusions from major ideas, and they are therefore useful tools I implement in the book for clarifying ideas. Enjoy!
You can purchase T. F. Torrance in Plain English on Amazon, iBooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and Smashwords ($9.99 eBook, $16.95 paperback).
After discovering that Torrance's theology engages natural science, many Christians today might wrongly imagine this means Torrance was an apologist. The truth, however, is that Torrance was actually quite critical of the task of apologetics, and this is the direct result of his dedication to the concept of kata physin.
If true knowledge of God is knowledge in accordance with God's nature, then apologetics is a false start because it applies a foreign rationality to God's nature in the attempt to prove that God exists. By taking a foreign rationality and applying it to God, apologetics tries to prove God as if God were not God, as if God were a man or a star in the sky that might be proven through human rationality. Apologetics, therefore, abstracts God into a philosophical construct, which leads me to wonder: even if apologetics could "prove" God exists, which God would it prove? It is highly unlikely it would be the Christian God and Father of Jesus Christ, and so what then is the point of proving an empty, abstract deity, who is ultimately just a logical construction of our best thoughts?
We cannot illuminate God with human insights any more than we could brighten the moon with a flashlight. The doctrine of justification by grace alone should lead us to recognize God's provability by grace alone. Works of the intellect cannot prove God without falling back into self–justification. God is known when God's uncreated light reaches us from beyond our humanity, enlightening our rationality with the divine rationality of God's self-revelation. God alone proves Godself if God is proven at all, just as God alone reveals Godself if we have any true knowledge of God's innermost being.
Torrance's scientific axiom that we know in truth only in accordance with what we seek to know (kata physin) means the rejection of apologetics as a false start. His scientific theology does not fit within the modern Christian "culture war" against science, but it does offer us a helpful way forward that is faithful to the Gospel and its call for repentance. Instead of diluting the Gospel with reductionistic logic, with mere human sensibilities, we must bear witness to God's own transcendent rationality and call men and women to repent and know God on God's terms.


What is the update time? All models currently update every 1/2 second.
How do you install the Tiny-Tach�? The petrol tachs have a coax cable extending from the unit and ending with a red antenna wire and a white ground wire. Simple installation requires that the antenna wire be wrapped around the spark plug wire to pick up the signal. No cutting or soldering required. Easy to install and easy to remove.
How is the Tiny-Tach� powered? A 3 volt lithium battery powers the petrol Tiny-Tachs.
How long does the battery last? The lithium battery life calculates to 5+ years under normal use. It probably will last longer, but it is not replaceable because the tachs are potted and cannot be opened. Although very low draw, the battery is always on, and will display the hours when the engine is not running. If there is no display, the battery is dead. We do not recommend buying tachs from 3rd party dealers unless you are sure that it is not too old. The diesel Tiny-Tach has flash memory � no battery.
What is the warranty on the Tiny-Tach�. Tiny-Tachs are warranted for one year from the date of purchase by the original owner. When purchased used or through resellers as on E-bay, the manufacture date will determine the one year warranty.
How many models are there? There are 2 models of the Tiny-Tach for petrol engines and 1 for diesel engines. The TT2A can be adjusted to read different firing modes and can be used on most petrol engines. The CTT-II commercial model is a step up from the TT2A. It is also adjustable and has additional features.
Will the Tiny-Tach� work on multi-cylinder engines? Yes. Occasionally a multi-cylinder engine may require a filter to cut out extreme electronic noise. Filtered models are custom built � call for information if you are having a problem with erratic readings.
Is it possible to reset the hours? The TT2A Tiny-Tach records total hours and has 1 job timer which can be used to track hours and be reset to �0". The CTT-II commercial model has a job timer to track specific intervals and 2 service reminders with alerts that count down to indicate time remaining before specific maintenance tasks are required. One service reminder can be set in 5 hour increments from 5 to 50. The second service reminder can be set in 10 hour increments from 10 to 250. When set at "0" no count down will take place.
Can the wire length be changed? Adjustments to wire length must be made in the black coax cable. Unless you are experienced working with coax, we recommend that you send it back to Design Technology for adjustment. You can request that the Tiny-Tach be custom built with any length coax when you place your order.

Review: You Don't Know Me by Imran Mahmood
July 7, 2018 | crime, Reviews
I liked You Don't Know Me a lot more than I'd expected to – I don't usually pick up courtroom style thrillers. Then I spoke to Charlotte, who told me that there was a book written entirely as a closing speech and I practically tripped over myself in my haste to get to the library.
Plot summary: An unnamed defendant stands accused of murder. Just before the Closing Speeches, the young man sacks his lawyer, and decides to give his own defence speech.
He tells us that his barrister told him to leave some things out. Sometimes, the truth can be too difficult to explain, or believe. But he thinks that if he's going to go down for life, he might as well go down telling the truth.
There are eight pieces of evidence against him. As he talks us through them one by one, his life is in our hands. We, the reader – member of the jury – must keep an open mind till we hear the end of his story. His defence raises many questions… but at the end of the speeches, only one matters: Did he do it?
Rating: * * * *
So. The narrator has gone through his whole criminal trial – witnesses, documentary evidence, submissions, etc. But, right before it's time for closing speeches, he sacks his barrister and decides to sum up the matter himself for the jury. He was going to lose anyway, might as well tell the truth, right? Because as far as he can tell us, he didn't do it, although it's hardly that straightforward…
I love the style of this. The entire novel is the narrator's closing speech, all 400 pages of it. I was worried this would get annoying after a while, but it actually strikes the perfect balance of an interesting format that doesn't get too gimmicky. For the most part, it reads as a chatty, informal novel that it occasionally interspersed with asides about the Judge rolling his eyes or backtracking because he can see that the Jury don't understand a piece of slang he just used. It's a really clever way of writing a novel that doesn't impede the storytelling in the slightest.
There is A Point to You Don't Know Me, but it's a valid one and it isn't written with a sledgehammer. I don't think the exact gender, ethnicity and class ratios of the Jury are completely revealed, but it's clear that the Defendant does not believe that he is indeed being tried by his peers. One of the pieces of the Prosecution's evidence is that he was overheard muttering a supposedly incriminating phrase… or so it would seem to those of us who didn't grow-up in urban London. He's able to explain what those words mean to him and his actual peers, drawing the whole concept of the Jury system into question.
My only complaint about this book would be that certain aspects of the 'true' version of events seem somewhat fanciful. If I were a Juror listening to this explanation, I can't help but think I'd be raising an eyebrow once or twice. Maybe that's the point though – it wouldn't be such a thought-provoking book if the Jury's eventual verdict was obvious. Perhaps it's meant to be teetering on the fence of aquittal.
The novel ends immediately after the end of the speeches. We don't return to hear the Jury's final verdict, so we'll never know if he was sent down or not. I debated whether this was a spoiler or not and, whilst it probably is, it would have hugely irriated me had I not known that going it, to the extent where it actually would probably have ruined the book. This way, I got to enjoy the journey and not suffer a huge let-down at the end. I do think Mr Mahmood made the right decision there though – the unknowing only adds to this books' genius.
Whilst You Don't Know Me is written by a criminal defence barrister (although he writes so well that he clearly missed his calling as an author), it never gets bogged down in legal terminology or archaic case law. The narrator has no knowledge of the law or the Courts either – only what his barrister managed to impart before flouncing out the door (trust me, barristers flounce). It's an ingenious way of constructing a story, actually – a legal drama that requires absolutely zero knowledge of the law.
I'll definitely be buying anything else that Mr Mahmood writes. He probably won't use the same format again, but I'd be ecstatic if he did as it just works so well. I'd really recommend this book to everybody, regardless of your interest in law or crime. It's very human – revealing our inherent prejudices and questioning whether we are ever really tried by our 'peers.'
Imran Mahmood spoke with The Guardian about this book, and whether the moral question can overwhelm legal guilt. Read that fascinating article here.
Alternatively, read Charlotte's review of You Don't Know Me at Lit Addicted Brit.
Terra says
That is a clever plot device, to have the book be the closing defense argument.
Hanna @ Booking in Heels says
That's what I thought! It would NEVER have occurred to me to do that. It works really well, too.

Five Minutes of Fame with Claire Jackson
Claire Jackson is Head of Year 2 at Dulwich College (Singapore) and has been with us since 2016. In this interview, she tells us about her favourite read, her journey to becoming a teacher and her five minutes of fame on TV!
Where else in the world have you lived?
I grew up in North London and lived there until the age of 18. I spent four years at Liverpool University and, after that, three years living and working in Northern France. After qualifying as a teacher and getting married, I moved to Yorkshire with my family where we spent 10 years before moving to Singapore.
Tell us about your family.
I am married to Phil who currently works in DUCKS PE. We have two daughters, Amelie in Year 7 and Lola in Year 4. I am the youngest of four children and also have four step-siblings. I am lucky to have family in the UK, France, the Middle East and here in Singapore.
What's your favourite weekend activity in Singapore?
Weekends in Singapore still feel to me like being on holiday. I love hanging out at the pool or the beach, barbequing, eating outdoors and catching up with family and friends. I try to fit in a yoga class or two amongst all the relaxing and socialising!
Did you always want to be a teacher?
No - my mum and step-dad were teachers and when my sister went into teaching too, I was determined to do something different. However, after trying my hand at being a canoeing instructor, a personal assistant and a nanny (amongst other things), it seemed like destiny was calling me, so I finally admitted to what everyone else knew all along and went back to university to do my PGCE.
What is your favourite book and who is your favourite author?
I love travel books; both fictional and factual ones that help me to plan my next trip away! Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson is one of my favourites. His take on British culture is spot on and completely hilarious.
Tell us about a hidden talent or a top secret that no-one would know about you.
My dad was a television director and worked on many children's tv programmes through the 80s and 90s. Whenever they were short of children to take part in shows I was drafted in as an extra. I appeared in several episodes of different television shows doing some bizarre things, including taking part in a dog obedience show (with the family Labrador who was anything but obedient) and being levitated by a magician dressed up as Garfield the cat. I did say it was bizarre…
Which five people would you invite to a dinner party, dead or alive?
This is easy – the five original members of Take That! It would have to be on the condition that they sang and danced in between courses though (and performed a full set after dinner!)
What does a typical day at the College look like for you?
I arrive at the College at around 7.30 and head straight for Ned's and the coffee machine. From that moment on, every day is different. We teach through topics, so a typical teaching day could include some elements of any subject in the curriculum. I love the fact that the children's imagination and curiosity can unexpectedly take you in a totally different direction to where you first set out to go. As well as teaching, I also spend a fair amount of time each day co-ordinating various other things to do with the year group, from organising trips to fitting in the many exciting enrichment opportunities that come our way.
Do you have a motto or saying that really resonates with you?
My mum once told me to always remember that everything in life is a phase. No matter how hard things might seem, there is always a new phase, development or opportunity around the corner. I try to apply this in my own personal life but also professionally; just take one step at a time and see what happens. My mum is very sadly no longer with us, but her wisdom lives on.
Do you have a most memorable teacher moment?
My memorable moments are all to do with children saying or doing funny things, but none of them are appropriate to write down here!

How do I go about buying Viagra locally rather than ordering online. I'm pretty sure that you need a prescription for this, but do I have to get it from my personal family doctor or can I walk into say, Appletree Medical Centre and as the doctor there for a prescription? My family doctor is actually in the family because he's related to me so I don't want to go for him in case word gets around lol. But in the end its the doctors discretion to prescribe it for you. Some doctors don't care and will write it, but others won't since they don't know your medical history, and if something happens to you its their head on the line. Thanks man, it's worth a try I guess, the worse is that he/she will say no. I have no medical history but I can understand why they might decline it. And for the record, I don't really *need* it but have always wanted to try it Thanks man, it's worth a try I guess, the worse is that he/she will say no. There is a great demand on this medication, whose sales reach approximately one million dollars in a year. Viagra is famous for its safety, which is proven by a huge number of respectable studies. However, similar to all medications, this drug used for treating erectile dysfunctions, has contradictions and can cause some side effects. The category of people, who are prohibited to use this drugs, includes juniors and persons, who have to take certain medicaments for treating heart diseases. Nitrate-containing drugs, aimed at treating some heart ailments, can provoke severe health deterioration when combined with sildenafil (the main Viagra's active agent). Besides, small doses of sildenafil are recommended to patients with liver or kidney problems. That is why, for the sake of safe using of the drug, see your doctor and ask him about prescription.
Nov 28, 2017. Men will no longer require a prescription to obtain the impotence drug Viagra and will instead be able to buy it over the counter at pharmacies. Dear Friends of Lavage. Today I'd like to pass along to you, our loyal readers, some timely advice about how to proactively monitor your heart.


With all the family visiting and the turkey to cook and presents to wrap, regular gym workouts might be off the cards. But you can keep up your fitness levels by doing mini workouts at home to keep your heart rate raised and legs moving. Why not try a quick 5-10 minute HIIT session that includes some crunches, push-ups, squats and jumping jacks for an all-body workout? Ensure your session consists of 30 second bursts of each exercise with a 30 second break in between and repeat 4-5 times. That will sweat out some of that champagne.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a glass or two of the good stuff. But did you know that some alcoholic drinks carry more calories than others? A pint of lager, for example, has 180 calories whilst a glass of white wine will set you back 159 calories. Why not swap for a lower-calorie tipple such as vodka or gin with slimline tonic?
Christmas dinners aren't necessarily as unhealthy as they seem; especially if you pack your plate with delicious vegetables. Everyone's festive favourite, brussel sprouts, are high in rich nutrients and an excellent source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K so make the most of those greens this holiday.
On average, it's reckoned that the average Brit consumes three times more calories on Christmas Day than any normal day. Whilst we're all up for Yule Log, brandy butter and a cheeky glass of Port, it's the endless snacking in-between meals that can cause your downfall. Enjoy your festive breakfast, lunch and supper but try to hold off senseless snacking.
There's no better way to spend Boxing Day than a long, brisk walk to burn off some of yesterday's calories. Grab the whole family, wrap up warm and head out for an hour or so. Christmas can be a funny time where you don't leave the house for long periods of time especially if you have lots of family coming and going. Make sure you get some fresh air on Boxing Day to clear away the hangover, open your lungs and get those legs moving.

Q: Simple file transfer over wifi between computer and mobile phone using python I'd like to be able to transfer files between my mobile phone and computer.  The phone is a smartphone that can run python 2.5.4 and the computer is running windows xp (with python 2.5.4 and 3.1.1).
I'd like to have a simple python program on the phone that can send files to the computer and get files from the computer.  The phone end should only run when invoked, the computer end can be a server, although preferably something that does not use a lot of resources. The phone end should be able to figure out what's in the relevant directory on the computer.
At the moment I'm getting files from computer to phone by running windows web server on the computer (ugh) and a script with socket.set_ default _ access_point (so the program can pick my router's ssid or other transport) and urlretrieve (to get the files) on the phone. I'm sending files the other way by email using smtplib.
Suggestions would be appreciated, whether a general idea, existing programs or anything in between.

A: I would use paramiko.  It's secure fast and really simple. How bout this?
So we start by importing the module, and specifying the log file:
import paramiko
paramiko.util.log_to_file('/tmp/paramiko.log')

We open an SSH transport:
host = "example.com"
port = 22
transport = paramiko.Transport((host, port))

Next we want to authenticate. We can do this with a password:
password = "example101"
username = "warrior"
transport.connect(username = username, password = password)

Another way is to use an SSH key:
import os
privatekeyfile = os.path.expanduser('~/.ssh/id_rsa')
mykey = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key_file(privatekeyfile)
username = 'warrior'
transport.connect(username = username, pkey = mykey)

Now we can start the SFTP client:
sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)

Now lets pull a file across from the remote to the local system:
filepath = '/home/zeth/lenna.jpg'
localpath = '/home/zeth/lenna.jpg'
sftp.get(filepath, localpath)

Now lets go the other way:
filepath = '/home/zeth/lenna.jpg'
localpath = '/home/zeth/lenna.jpg'
sftp.put(filepath, localpath)

Lastly, we need to close the SFTP connection and the transport:
sftp.close()
transport.close()

How's that??  I have to give credit to this for the example.

A: I ended up using python's ftplib on the phone and FileZilla, an ftp sever, on the computer.  Advantages are high degree of simplicity, although there may be security issues.
In case anyone cares, here's the guts of the client side code to send and receive files. Actual implementation has a bit more infrastructure.
from ftplib import FTP
import os

ftp = FTP()
ftp.connect(server, port)
ftp.login(user, pwd)

files = ftp.nlst() # get a list of files on the server
# decide which file we want

fn = 'test.py' # filename on server and for local storage
d = 'c:/temp/' # local directory to store file
path = os.path.join(d,fn)
r = ftp.retrbinary('RETR %s' % fn, open(path, 'wb').write)
print(r) # should be: 226 Transfer OK

f = open(path, 'rb') # send file at path
r = ftp.storbinary('STOR %s' % fn, f) # call it fn on server
print(r) # should be: 226 Transfer OK
f.close()

ftp.quit()

A: There are a couple of examples out there, but you have to keep in mind that, IIRC, PyBluez will work only on Linux.

I've previously done OBEX-related things, mostly fetching things from
  mobile phones, using the obexftp program 2 which is part of the
  OpenOBEX project 3. Naturally, you can call the obexftp program from
  Python and interpret the responses and exit codes using functions in
  the os, popen2 and subprocess modules. I believe that obexftp also
  supports "push" mode, but you could probably find something else
  related to OpenOBEX if it does not.
Since Bluetooth communications are supported using sockets in GNU/
  Linux distributions and in Python (provided that the Bluetooth support
  is detected and configured), you could communicate with phones using
  plain network programming, but this would probably require you to
  implement the OBEX protocols yourself - not a straightforward task for
  a number of reasons, including one I mention below. Thus, it's
  probably easier to go with obexftp at least initially.

You also have lightblue, that is a cross-os bluetooth library.
There is also a complete script, PUTools: Python Utility Tools for PyS60 Python (examples has Windows screenshots), that has a:

Python interpreter that takes input and shows output on PC, connects over Bluetooth to phone, and executes on the phone. You also get simple shell functionality for the phone (cd, ls, rm, etc.). The tool also allows you to synchronize files both from PC to phone (very useful in application development) and from phone to PC (your images, logfiles from the program you are working on, etc.).

Watsons' O+O New Retail Standard Being Recognised Across the Region
Health and beauty retail succeeds by focusing on customer connectivity.
In the past year, maintaining a business during a pandemic is an enormous challenge. However, Watsons has proven its resilience, becoming the top-performing retailer in the Health & Beauty industry. It has won three prizes at the Retail Asia Awards 2021, which recognises the accomplishments and innovations of the region's retailers.
Watsons has emerged as Health & Beauty Retailer of the Year in Asia due to its customer engagement through its O+O (Offline plus Online) strategy. Watsons believes the new O+O retail standard is not about having physical store and an online store. It's an ecosystem that is powered by technology, big data and AI. The pandemic situation has created a new normal which has further given rise to this O+O retail model.
#WatsonsHereForYou campaign enhances customer connectivity during a period characterised by strict sanitation protocols and community lockdowns. Apart from providing regular updates to customers, as well as tips to fight the pandemic, Watsons added some fun to this campaign by introducing the "W" greeting, which is done by holding the fingers to form two joint "Vs" with the meaning of "double victory" in the communal fight against the Covid-19 virus.
Furthermore, Watsons' virtual makeup technology #ColourMe allows customers to try on makeup and hair colouring products in the Watsons App before purchasing which ensures a safe and convenient shopping experience. With their endless support to customers in both online and offline platforms, Watsons becomes the leader in brand equity in the Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand markets and a surge of customer engagement on social media as well as e-commerce sales growth were witnessed.
Secondly, Watsons Hong Kong won the CSR Initiative of the Year Award for its corporate response to Covid-19, which was conducted by prioritising its employees' and customers' safety and needs. Apart from providing up-to-date information, face masks and sanitising products to protect its store staff, Watsons has upgraded its eStore with cloud technology to serve the high online traffic for the convenience of its customers. In addition, Watsons donated 450,000 pieces of WatsMask to school pupils and seniors in the city during the most critical time of mask demand. Watsons has also made a continuous effort in recycling bottles of various materials including glass, aluminum and plastic. Recycle machines are placed in stores with incentives to encourage more customers to take action.
Watsons Hong Kong's O+O retail strategy has made the brand a clear winner of the Marketing Initiative of the Year Award. To ensure a seamless experience to better serve customers' shopping needs across any channel anytime and anywhere, WatsonsGo, an alternative payment option has been introduced that allows customers to scan product barcodes via Watsons App in-store and complete the transaction on the mobile instantly. Another feature Tap & Shop is a touch screen in store that allows customers to shop and choose either to collect the products in store or have them delivered to their home.
As the world continues on the path toward the "new normal", Watsons is expected to be a partner that enables the community to maintain its well-being. Such strong customer connectivity, in turn, will be the basis of Watsons' sustained competitiveness as the leading brand in the health and beauty market.

Texas Travel Guide Texas Trips Manifestations Of Ambubachi: Mahakumbh Of The East
Manifestations of Ambubachi: Mahakumbh of the East
By Dikshĭt Sharma
Assamese word 'Ambubachi' or 'Ambubasi' is derived from the Sanskrit term 'Ambuvaci' meaning "the issuing forth of the water".
Ambubachi Mela is a festival which is held annually during the monsoon season in Kamakhya temple, situated in the lush hill of Nilachal in Guwahati, Assam. From regular families to black-clad Aghoris, foreign tourists to sadhus and sanyasins, this time of year calls to those who adore the Divine Mother and wish to be close to Her during Her most potent and sacred course.
Kamakhya temple is a religious site which very few is unacquainted with. Among the 52 Shakti Peethas that is scattered in different locations across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Tibet, Kamakhya is one which is upheld with immense awe and reverence by the people of Assam, as well as India.
Kamakhya, or Kameshwari, is also the Goddess of desire, potency and fertility. She is the ultimate source of desires (Kamarupa, Kamarupini) of human beings and also to the one who fulfils them.
It might be strange, but the sanctum sanctorum of Kamakhya Temple doesn't have any idol or statue of deity but a stone in the form of a yoni (literally "vagina" or "womb"), that is worshipped.
It is believed that the presiding Goddess of the temple goes through her annual cycle of menstruation during this period (no puns) of time. It is also believed that with the onset of rain the creative and nurturing power of the menses of Mother Earth becomes accessible to devotees at this site during the mela.
During the period of the festival, the temple doors are closed. Worshiping, reading holy texts is strictly prohibited during Ambubachi. Hindu marriage isn't held and farmers also do not plough their lands.
After the temple doors are reopened on the fourth day, devotees receive bits of red colored clothes, also called Rakta Bastra, or the blood cloth in the form of Prasad or blessings. The cloth is believed to be soaked in the blood of the menses of Goddess Kamakhya which is assumed to be very fruitful and auspicious for the one who has it.
Here is a pranama mantra that often recited:
kāmākyām kāmasampannām kāmesvarïm harapriyām|
kāmanām dehi me nityam kāmesvarï namo'stute ||
Whether a devotee or not, a believer or a free thinker, this is an experience worth having which would bring a change in perspective in more ways than one.
