Jeremy Corbyn and the political dead-end of the official Don't Extradite Assange Campaign
Thomas Scripps
Wednesday's hearing on Julian Assange's extradition marked the ignominious collapse of the political perspective pursued by the official Don't Extradite Assange (DEA) campaign.
Left: Jeremy Corbyn (Garry Knight, Wikimedia Commons), Right: Julian Assange (Cancillería del Ecuador, Wikimedia Commons)
This perspective was summed up outside the court by former leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn. Speaking to a small group of protesters, Corbyn said of the WikiLeaks founder, "We have someone who in a different country, in a different world in a different denomination would be seen as a hero by the West for exposing truths somewhere. Journalists expose truths all over the world and they should all be supported in exposing those truths."
The difference with Assange is that he had exposed truths that "embarrassed" the United States. "My view," Corbyn continued, "is that he should be released."
Speaking to journalists, Corbyn also expressed his "hopes" in the High Court and issued moral appeals to Conservative UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden, saying it was "disappointing" that Biden was continuing the efforts of the Trump administration to extradite Assange.
What does this say about the DEA's campaign?
Corbyn wants to portray Assange as just another journalist exposing truths that are unfortunately embarrassing to the US. But Assange carried out some of the most significant exposures of war crimes perpetrated by US imperialism and its allies, above all British imperialism, in history. He described WikiLeaks as an "intelligence agency of the people" dedicated to opposing such crimes, famously commenting, "If war can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth."
WikiLeaks revelations sparked a global wave of anti-imperialist sentiment and contributed to the Arab Spring. The ruling class recognised a mortal enemy and responded with a ruthless campaign to destroy Assange, which it has waged consistently for a decade, setting a dictatorial precedent for the persecution of its opponents in preparation for new crimes.
To reduce this to mere embarrassment is to deliberately conceal political realities to reinforce the claim that Biden and Johnson can be persuaded by moral pressure to change course.
But Corbyn made his pathetic appeals outside a hearing to determine on what basis the appeal for Assange to be extradited by Biden's State Department can proceed. And Britain's judiciary made clear that they, like the Johnson government, are intent on facilitating Biden's efforts.
All five of the US's grounds for appeal against the ruling prohibiting Assange's extradition were upheld—collectively bringing into question Judge Vanessa Baraitser's conclusion that Assange's mental health would make him a suicide risk should he be sent to the US and kept in its brutal penal system.
It should be noted that the same agenda has been pursued by the DEA for months, first appealing to Donald Trump and the fascistic elements gravitating to him to pardon Assange before moving seamlessly on to moral appeals directed to the incoming Biden administration.
This has been accompanied by efforts to emphasise the tragic element of Assange's separation from his wife, Stella Moris, and their two young children. For Assange's 50th birthday, his tenth in effective or actual detention, the DEA organised a picnic on Parliament Square, complete with birthday cake and string quartet.
This sentimental appeal naturally fell on deaf ears, with the prosecution using the fact that Assange concealed the relationship with Moris to protect his loved ones to accuse the key defence expert medical witness Professor Kopelman of himself misleading the court about Assange's mental health.
The same false orientation holds true of Corbyn's efforts to reduce Assange to just another journalist, in line with the DEA's focus on securing the backing of the media.
Most media groups and their journalists do not "expose truths" but disseminate official propaganda—which is why Assange was subjected to a press slander campaign for years and his appalling treatment either justified or ignored. Even now the clear threat posed to press freedoms by Assange's prosecution under the Espionage Act have evoked only the most muted response in the editorial offices of the major dailies.
Corbyn's statements betray a class agenda which is toxic to the fight for Assange's freedom. He avoids any reference to the social struggle between the working class and imperialism with which Assange's case is inextricably bound up and instead seeks to secure his freedom by attempting to make him palatable to layers of the "progressive" middle class and, through them, to win the ear of the political establishment.
But for the most part the "progressive" middle class, the social types that occupy the editorial offices of the Guardian and the New York Times, Labour and Democratic Party politicians, trade union leaders, liberal academia, feminists, and above all the various pseudo-left groups, have either kept silent on Assange or remain openly hostile to him.
And it should not need saying that because Assange's life's work has been dedicated to the exposure of imperialist crimes, there is nothing that will make him a sympathetic figure in the eyes of the ruling class in Britain or America.
There is nothing impermissible in seeking the support of journalists, NGOs, celebrities, and even bourgeois politicians for Assange's freedom, but only as a by-product of a popular campaign to secure support from the one social force that can actually bring an end to his persecution—the international working class.
The DEA makes no appeal to the working class whatsoever, or to any broader layers of the population. It has produced a near hermetically sealed campaign of more or less prominent individuals, held in high regard by each other, who attend each other's events, and repost each other's comments. Not one of them conducts any struggle among workers to clarify the issues raised by Assange's persecution, or to mobilise them in his defence.
Yanis Varoufakis, the founder of Diem25 who played an instrumental role as Syriza's finance minister in betraying the struggle by Greek workers against austerity, displayed his own contempt and that of his co-thinkers for the working class at a DEA event last year.
Assange's "worst enemy", he said, was "people too tired, too exhausted, too disheartened by working zero-hour contracts or whatever to be able to expend the energy" to fight for his freedom. The same held true for "people who are neither good nor bad working in these offices in Whitehall," the home of Britain's civil service. But as regards these government functionaries, he insisted, "We have to make them care."
To the extent that there is a belief among Assange's supporters that such high-profile figures offer a route to broader masses of people, this is entirely misplaced.
Corbyn made clear that he only attended Wednesday's protest in a personal capacity, and brought no one else to it. He did not mention Labour, his own party, let alone call on its members to back Assange, studiously avoiding the subject as he does in every public appearance.
Nor did he make even a personal appeal to his 2.4 million followers on Twitter, either before or after the protest outside the court. His tweets from the day were to give "Solidarity and best wishes" to the family and friends of a British solicitor lost mountaineering, to plug Momentum's World Transformed event, and to extend "Solidarity with students" protesting climate change inaction outside the Department for Education. The one personal event he recorded was a visit to "a new cooperative for ethical food delivery" he made after leaving the Assange protest.
None of this is oversight. Corbyn has published only eight tweets on Assange in his account's history. They provide a timeline of his rotten record on the WikiLeaks founder's case.
His first tweet was made in December 2010, saying "USA and others don't like any scrutiny via wikileaks and they are leaning on everybody to pillory Assange. What happened to free speech?" There is then a two-year gap until Corbyn mentions Assange again in 2012. By far the longest silence then begins, after Assange is falsely accused of sexual assault in Sweden, and only broken in 2019. This silence covers the majority of Corbyn's period as leader of the largest political party in Europe.
After issuing one tweet on April 11, 2019, on the day Assange was dragged from the Ecuadorian embassy in London by the British police, saying his extradition "should be opposed by the British government", Corbyn retreated once again before an onslaught by the Labour right wing, stating two days later that he only opposed extradition to the US and that Assange should answer the sexual assault allegations in Sweden. He did not mention Assange's name again, in any medium, for the entirety of the 2019 general election campaign.
The next tweet opposing extradition comes in February 2020, during the twilight of his Labour leadership, and the next four a year later in January, June and July 2021, promoting token initiatives by the Council of Europe and the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs.
What does a political figure like this offer in the fight for Assange's freedom? Corbyn gave the answer on Wednesday—appeals to the media, the British judiciary, Johnson and Biden.
Joining Corbyn outside the court on Wednesday, pseudo-left group Counterfire's John Rees, the leading figure in the DEA campaign, stated that Assange's "case has finally reached a serious court"—as if a purely legal approach backed by moral pressure can now finally secure his freedom and the lessons of the pseudo-legal vendetta waged against Assange for the past ten years can be dismissed. As his ally Tariq Ali told a DEA meeting in February 2020, "Hopefully as the case moves upwards to superior courts, we will find some judges who are prepared just to be decent."
Nothing is left of this perspective. The Biden administration continues to seek Assange, the British courts are supporting its efforts and the WikiLeaks founder's situation is increasingly desperate. If extradition to the US is to be prevented, now is the time for working people to intervene on his behalf. The fight for Julian Assange's freedom is a fight against imperialist war and in defence of fundamental democratic rights.
The Socialist Equality Party in Britain, its sister parties, and the World Socialist Web Site call on all our supporters and readers to contact us and take up this struggle in earnest.

"Is there a way to do a multiple stepwise regression on continuous data that incorporates phylogenetic information and selects the best model based on an AICc score?"
Although I myself had not done this before, I figured that stepwise regression with objects of class "gls" would likely be something that someone, somewhere, in the wide world of R would have thought of before - and this is indeed correct.
Here's a complete demo with simulation code.
First, simulate data. In this case, x1 and x3 have an effect on y, so they ought to be found in the final model - but x2 and x4 intentionally do not.
trace just controls the amount of information about the backward & forward stepwise procedure that is being run. If we want more, we should increase it.
This is just about what we'd expect. Cool.


I was in complete awe when I arrived at Devon on Wednesday afternoon. From the iconic Devon blue grandstands to the lemon sticks, everything was just how I imagined it.
I hacked my equitation horse Citadel (Chandler), and my junior hunter Early August (Auggie) Wednesday afternoon. The Dixon Oval was full of horses, as everyone wanted to get their practice in before the Washington International Horse Show Jumper phase started on Thursday.
I was on my horse at 5:50am ready to hack in the Dixon Oval. The arena was completely full, just like I experienced at indoors in the fall. The walk for the WIHS jumper phase started at about 7:30am and I went 24th in section A.
I was very excited about the course, as it featured many things I knew I could show off well. I was a bit nervous about the triple bar off a short left turn, but my trainer, Jim Hagman, and I went over exactly how to ride the turn so I was not as nervous going into the show ring. I went into the ring, rode the very best I could, and left with no regrets. It was the best feeling walking out of the Dixon Oval and hearing my score of 85. I ended up placing 6th, giving me my first Devon ribbon.
Later that afternoon, I had the medal in the Wheeler Ring. I did not execute that as well as I could have, but I put it behind me, as I knew I still had two more fun days of showing at Devon. After the medal, my mom and I went shopping for fun Devon souvenirs. From pop sockets to Vineyard Vines t-shirts, they have "Devon" everything!
I started the day with the ASPCA Maclay. The course looked nice, with several lines that rode more forward and some that were a bit quiet. I was a tad worried about a bending seven strides to a natural jump off of the first line, but I rode it just how we planned it. I was very pleased with how the Maclay went, and we were on the standby until the very end of the class.
The Junior Hunters also started Friday afternoon. I was so excited to show Auggie in the Large Junior Hunters 16-17, as I just bought him in November and I didn't have much time to get him qualified. We were both a bit nervous going in so I didn't have my best score, but Jim and I went over the areas I could improve so I was ready to apply those skills to Saturday's courses. The junior hunters also had their under saddle classes on Friday. I ended up 4th in the hack and it was so fun getting to show my horse off to the judges!
Saturday morning started off with the Junior Hunter handy rounds. The course consisted of multiple options for jumps 4 and 5. I decided to jump both the outside natural options because I thought those would highlight Auggie best. I was thrilled with my round, as I rode the course exactly how we planned.
Unfortunately, I did not hear the natural rail come down so I was a bit confused coming out of the ring when I heard my score of 42. I focused on the positives and took a break for some lemon sticks and Devon leadline before the Junior Hunter Stake.
I was ready to go in the Large Junior 16-17 Stake with my shadbelly, stock tie, and all. It was my last time showing in the Dixon Oval for this year so I really wanted to end on the best note I possibly could. We had a great warm-up and Jim and I analyzed the course one last time before I stepped in the ring. All of the pieces came together and I earned a score of 84, putting my 5th in the class.
Overall, Devon is the most unique show I have ever competed at. With both the fair and the horse show, we always had something fun to do. I really hope I get the opportunity to compete at this special show again in the future.

Today I had the most surprising Christmas yet. First of all I helped put a workbench up that turned out to be mine. It is awesome and I plan to do a lot of things with it. Second I got a awesome helicopter that came with a camera! But in the end it's not about the presents or the awkward looking pajamas it's about Jesus our Lord and Savior.
Today My mom and I threw a big surprise birthday party for my great grandma. Trust me when I say huge, 100 or so people tightly fitted in a old church room. Still people had a great time. My grand am has always wanted a money tree so we made her a tree when every one got there they each put money on the tree by the end of the party she had 854 dollars! For food they brought a face cake with a picture of my grandma's face, and also brought punch, red velvet cupcakes, and mini sandwiches. My grandma thought that she was going to a boring regular Mexican food restaurant but no she had a awesome surprise party.
Today I went hiking with my friend Sam. We hiked all through the back of the neighborhood. It is 6:00 and I'm ready to pass out. I also did some code and compared fractions.
This morning we had a man breakfast which has steak and eggs it was the best because my mom was gone and it was just the boys at the table.
Yesterday we went shopping for clothes and ran errands. It was very boring. But Christmas is in 5 days! Then when I got home we learned about Lenny Ross and about Oprah. Lenny was a kid prodigy and won 100,000 dollars.	Oprah is a tv show billionaire. Also yesterday I watched a video on success.
Here are my main indicators of becoming a pro photographer.
My indicators of success are getting paid to take photos for the news paper, and to pass on my legacy. Also to help pass on the legacy I will do free classes in the summer for all ages. Then I will become a freelancer for the news paper and try to get name recognition and experience. finally once i am done there I will build a portfolio. If there are really different camera changes in the future then I will follow up with a new technic and buy one.I will also stay on top of developing technology. I want people to remember my name when i die or when I retire. I want to make a different way to take pictures and even build a camera. Those are just some of the things I want to do when I grow up.
Photography is one of my favorite, and most successful hobbies. I really like to take pictures with my DSLR camera. My mom and people say it is good. I think it is good to but I could do better. I think that is one of the most successful things I do. Also in scouts I help the kids and thats pretty successful. But most kids are kid of annoying. Both of these things i like to do and I do them all the time. I don't like to do this but i am good at being a quarterback for football i would rather be a wide receiver because i am good at catching the ball. I can catch most of the things they throw unless it is really bad. Aside from football I like To play basket ball, but then again i like every sport. Other than those I can't think of any thing else that i'm good at.
Lately I have been taking a leadership course( the course demonstrates how organizations have trained their leaders), and now as a assignment I am going to write a 250 word essay for you.
A good leader is someone who makes promises and sticks to them, but some leaders don't, and get thrown out for it. With every leadership challenge comes great responsibility, if you are a good leader you are willing, and brave enough to take responsibility for your actions. The Communist party had good ideas for creating leaders, but I do not agree with the Communist ways. But i do agree with the AA's approach to training their leaders.
The way the Communist party trains leaders is to make them go out to sell the daily worker, but they get harassed by the people disagreeing, and asking them questions . Then they have training for the defense of their main cause, but the AAs approach is a voluntary anonymous meeting group.
In boy scouts if I was the Senior patrol leader i would first would make steps that everyone could work on one at a time to get it done. Second keep everyone focused on the goal. Third follow up to see if everyone did their job. Then once done with the series of tasks look for other goals to make a better troop.
The AA's message is "one day at a time for a lifetime", and the Communist party is "anything for the party." I agree it is weird to compare Communists, alcoholics, and Boy Scouts but it is an example of organizations that successfully grew quickly.
Today I did a grammar bytes test to improve my horrible grammar. But I still scored a pretty good score 66 but it was for adults so yea.
Also I went to the hour of code class. It was in the apple store.
There were a bunch of really smart and bratty kids in there.
There was one kid screwing around on some game and when the coach took it he went up in a fit.
Then I saw a movie about founding our country. From The Revolutionary War to the Panama Canal.
Today I went geocaching and learned about leadership. We only found one geocache. I also got some headphones. Today was a good day.

How Gerald "finished" Shadow and his revenge plan despite being in prison
By Darth InVaders
Darth InVaders
What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen
On the Sonic Wiki it claims GUN had Gerald continue his work (sourcing it to a Prima Guide) but this is obviously wrong for reasons I will get into in a moment...
To figure out how Gerald finished Shadow and his revenge plan we need to look over the things we know for sure:
Gerald knew beforehand that GUN was going to shut down his research and the ARK research facility, and imprison all who knew about him (he said so in the recording that played in Shadow's game Last Story: "The government plans to shut down this research facility. The government plans to cease all of our research... and imprison all who know about you." and in SA2 Last Story "They were sent to destroy the research project that I had been working on. My colleagues at the research facility, my granddaughter Maria, I hope you are all safe." - this also proves the Sonic Wiki wrong) Clearly from these words, Gerald did not know the full murderous extent of GUN's plan where everyone except Gerald would die, and Gerald would be the only one imprisoned.
After being imprisoned, Gerald somehow was able to view the casualty reports (SA2: "I found Maria's name among those who died when the ARK was shut down.") and somehow reprogram Shadow's memory ("Based on my original projections, I was able to complete my project; Shadow."), the Biolizard, and the ARK with the Eclipse Cannon (evidenced by the calculations written on the prison walls of Prison Island). He also continued to make his diary/journal (to make it possible to quote him) and set up the video of his execution to be played before the world.
So how could Gerald have "finished" Shadow and set up all these things to happen after his death?
Well, first things first, Shadow was technically finished being created before GUN's assault, but then Gerald needed to do more with him when he started his revenge plan. This is evidenced in Shadow's memories.
But going to before the need for a revenge plan, since he knew beforehand that Proj Shadow would be shut down and he would be locked out (and imprisoned) he probably created backdoors so he could hack back into the computer systems at a later time - he after all created a program to play and give Shadow encouragement to defeat Black Doom. All he would need are the resources to access this from prison: an internet enabled computer primarily - well in Sonic X he is shown in his prison cell with a computer, and I'm certain that is similar to what happens in the game continuity (although the computer may have been in the prison library where it was supposed to be supervised - like it would be in real life - but Gerald's awesome hacking skillz made it nearly impossible to catch him).
From this computer, he saw the casualty report with Maria's name - well, unless that was publicly available to him which is possible. He also continued typing entries into his electronic diary / journal.
As he went mad and began evil schemes by writing on the cell walls (which probably shows his computer was somewhere else like a library), he then used this computer to hack back into ARK's computer systems. He reprogrammed the Eclipse Cannon so that when the 7 Chaos Emeralds were placed into its core, it would allow itself to be overcharged and become a planet destroying explosive and then redirect energy to the ARK to shift the colony into a collision course with the planet. He programmed the system to release the Biolizard to attack anyone who interfered with his plan (and probably hacked the Biolizard's brain to be his attack dog too).
He would need someone to get his plans in motion. So he would have also had to have found Shadow in the computer systems and hacked his brain to change Shadow's final memory of Maria, altering it from bringing hope to humanity by letting humanity live for their dreams or whatever to revenge for her death; also he would have to implant the instructions to get the plan in motion. Obviously this requires that either GUN had hooked Shadow and the Biolizard's brains up to something or Gerald was able to broadcast something remotely into their brains over the airwaves sort of like WiFi or Bluetooth or something - the idea of Gerald hacking their brains is slightly more plausible because they are artificial lifeforms that he created, and he may have created a way for himself to do such a thing.
As for broadcasting his execution video message - the one thing that hangs up many people on how could he have done it when he was already dead - it is not that hard. He only needed to figure out 2 things: the file path to where his execution video would be placed in what in computer speak is called the "directory tree hierarchy", and also the pattern used in naming the file his video would be stored under. For example, GUN tends to store execution videos in the "execution" folder which is inside his own folder which is inside some other folder called a parent directory on GUN's intranetwebserver; and they tend to name the file after the prisoner's number with the word execution and the extension ".mp4". For this example, let's say Gerald's prison number is 6192001, so his predicted file path and filename would be something along the lines of "http://GUNintranetwebserver...\parentdirectory\robotnik_gerald\execution\6192001execution.mp4" (apologies for mistakes, its been a while since I dabbled in this technical shit and I never had to deal with an intranet - and the "..." is just because there would clearly be a longer file path). The file would be a broken link in Gerald's programs until GUN makes the video and places it where it is supposed to go. Voila, GUN unwittingly finishes his work for him.
At Least There's Mania
Why make all these assumptions about Gerald hacking everything when we already know he messed with Shadow's head to get him to carry out his revenge.
It's like you're creating a problem just so you can claim to solve it. You're pulling all this master hacker shit out of nowhere for what can simply be explained by Shadow acting on Gerald's orders.
Because we know Gerald was in prison from start to finish during the creation of his revenge plan. We also know GUN was not letting Gerald continue his work on Shadow, but he still somehow altered Shadow's memory. And Shadow does not seem like he has the ability to reprogram the Eclipse Cannon to do a doomsday dive at the planet plus do the master hacking needed to broadcast Gerald's final warning execution video across the planet. Also Gerald had to do some master hacking to broadcast that video encouraging Shadow to defeat Black Doom.
Occam's Razor: Gerald demonstrated hacking ability, Shadow did not, shit happened that needed hacking to be done.
Shadowlax
In machine psychological manipulation. That's it. He probably heard about them coming before hand, or knew since he interacted with the black comment, and had that as a contingency plan. He probably went to the black comet because they pissed him off before hand.

We don't know under what circumstances or through what methods Gerald was able to "finish" Shadow. The idea that he hacked into Shadow's brain is absolutely, 100% baseless, not the least bit more plausible than "actually turns out GUN let Gerald work on Shadow a bit anyway". And once he's got Shadow doing his bidding, there's no need for him to be hacking other things, and no reason to assume he's hacking other things when, again, there is no evidence that he is hacking things in the first place.
And Shadow does not seem like he has the ability to reprogram the Eclipse Cannon to do a doomsday dive at the planet plus do the master hacking needed to broadcast Gerald's final warning execution video across the planet.
He does when Gerald puts the instructions in his head.
Also Gerald had to do some master hacking to broadcast that video encouraging Shadow to defeat Black Doom.
ShtH is incredibly stupid and I refuse to acknowledge it.

From 29 July 2012 to 28 October 2012 this exhibition was on show in Nagasaki, Japan. Until 19 May 2013 the exhibition will be back in Japan in the Municipal Museum of Art in Kyoto before travelling to two more Japanese museums: the Miyagi Museum of Art in Sendai and the Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of Art. The exhibition, which is based on Van Gogh in Antwerp and Paris: new perspectives, was on show in the Van Gogh Museum in the summer of 2011.
On 1 May the Van Gogh Museum reopens its doors on Museumplein. Many of the works will be returning home after this world tour at the end of September and will be on show during the jubilee exhibition Van Gogh at work, which will be on display in the totally renovated Van Gogh Museum up to 12 January 2014.

Elaine Gallagher presents two of her interests – cycling and the rise of enfranchisement for men and women in the last hundred years – in a lecture/stand up hybrid that doesn't really work as either. The show starts with five minutes of cycling related puns, and if that's your thing, you might enjoy this show.
It doesn't work great as lecture because the information contained therein isn't particularly informative or coherent, and it lacked the depth or breadth of a traditional lecture. It also committed cardinal historical sins by making such unqualified claims as [prior to bicycles] women hadn't been able to go around without a chaperone, as if no woman ever has been able to walk around on her own. It's probably not what Ms Gallagher meant, but it is what she said.
It didn't quite work as comedy because the material wasn't strong enough or funny enough and the delivery became a little wearing – erratic sing-song tones and a few inexplicably drawn-out last-words-in-sentences. By the time we'd got through the 'Edward chat' (in itself a good bit of word play) about cycling, the audience felt rather drained of energy, and not prepared for laughing.
The analogy of feminism with cycling worked well, and the conceit of the show was promising, despite the execution.


Nice unit. It was clean.
This Condo was just the way the picture shows. Very Clean Unit. The Beach is just steps away from your room. The restaurant and Bar on premises were very quaint and not much action. Pools were Ok (Cleaned Daily). View was great as well and this was and End Unit which was nice.
Unit was clean, except for the balcony which is where I assume people smoke. The mattresses need replacing and the beds squeaked every time we moved. The unit was clean and we had a fairly pleasant stay. Plenty of towels provided which was nice. We had a minor problem with plumbing, I called property management and they had a person there to fix it within an hour. So I would say they are responsible and responive.
Thank you for your review. We were unaware that the refrigerator was not cooling until you called. As you know, we replaced the refrigerator the same day and before you returned from grocery shopping. The toilet back-up was also immediately remedied; and while you were at the dance competition. We are uncertain why you would give this property a 2 on a scale of 1-5 for its condition. The property was recently updated, top to bottom. Just look at the photographs. They're no more than 30 days old. Finally, a 3 for the property manager? Where did we fail? We responded immediately to your calls. Both calls were about things that we couldn't control. However, we can control the response and resolution, which we did more than satisfactorily, in our view.
My Husband and I share the same birthday. We stayed at Blue Water Resort. Just perfect!!!

Film legend Maureen O'Hara was presented with a 24-carat gold Marine Corps pendant and a picture of their emblem earlier this week, as a symbol of praise and gratitude for her role in a great war-time role in the film "To the Shores of Tripoli," which helped boost recruitment.
During the "Maureen O'Hara Classic Film Festival" in Glengarriff, Co Cork, a retired marine captain presented the talented actress with two letters from former commandant of the Marine Corps, General James T Conway, who retired last year, and the second is signed by the current commandant, General James F Amos.

The Marines Corps credits the film and the O'Hara as being the single greatest recruitment tools in 1942 during World War II, due to the popularity of the actress drawing in large audiences to see the film.
The film was shot at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, used serving marines as extras, and contains authentic scenes of marines in combat training and ground drills, according to the Examiner.
In the movie, O'Hara played a navy nurse in what turned out to be one of the last pre-Pearl Harbor service films. The movie has since then been recognized and fully endorsed by the Marine Corps because of its unusual way of portraying the soldiers accurately.
After filming, O'Hara was often invited by commanding officers of the Navy and Marine Corps bases to be their guests at several military functions and has since remained to be a favorite among the US Marines.

PoE Currency 'C Just Enhance Your Information Now!
Smart POE switches popularize all over the world. At present, Access Routers more and more small and medium-sized office users, commercial users and enterprise users are rapidly accepting this type of switch products. As an upgrade of non-network switch, it ensures that users can get the functions of network managed switches, optimize their own network infrastructure and promote their own electronic applications with less cost. After users of full network managed switches are aware of their required switch functions and management methods, they find that the current smart switches actually have been able to fully meet their requirements in many applications, and they can certainly get the same network manageable architecture under the premise of a large amount of budget saving. It provides a good choice for users when the non-network managed switches and the full network managed switches can not fully meet the requirements of users. At present, a wide range of primary and secondary schools, Internet cafes, hotel customers, office networks and business networks in all walks of life are beginning to use a large number of smart POE switch. The shipments of smart switches are growing rapidly.
In 2007, as small and medium business network users did not need many additional functions (such as OSPF, VRRP, PIM, etc.) of the full network management Gigabit switches at that time, the three tier Gigabit switches with basic three tier routing functions (such as supporting VLAN-based routing, supporting RIP, etc.) fast came out. Now, smart switches will develop towards more and more product models, more and more user-friendly functions, and more and more simple ways to manage configuration. The development prospect of smart POE switch will be better and better.

Gall plans to expose CM Punk
Mickey Gall has the winning lottery ticket. How else does a mixed martial artist with a 2-0 record get catapulted into a UFC PPV main card slot? The signing of former wrestling star CM Punk has handed him a golden opportunity this Saturday at UFC 203 in Cleveland, Ohio, to make his name on a global scale.
A lot has been made of CM Punk's apparent lack of skills during the various segments on 'The Evolution of Punk', a documentary showcasing the journey the former professional wrestler has been on over the past 18 months. And similarly Gall has watched the series and doesn't see anything from Punk that poses a threat.
"I'm not particularly impressed, just different things, the way he moves," said Gall. "I'm sure he's improved tremendously since that footage (on Fox Sports 1 and now available to view through FO's video player) but I know when he gets to the fight, we get into (it), those bad habits tend to come out and I know I'll be able to expose those."
The event hasn't quite hit the hype levels of say UFC 202 last month and maybe that's got to do with the almost two-year wait for Punk to make his debut since the initial announcement back in December 2014. Yet Gall thinks otherwise and believes the build up has fans pumped up.
"Bottom line is we're going to fight," said Gall. "I think a lot of people are very excited for this, but everything I'm seeing, we're not going to put on and pretend to hate each other. There's an appropriate amount of build up. People are excited and I know we both are."
New Jersey has a history of producing UFC championship level fighters such as Matt Sera and more recently Frankie Edgar. Gall thinks it comes from a preconception that Jersey guys know how to fight.
"I'm always asked about why I think there's tough guys from Jersey. I think it's just everyone thinks they can fight so you find yourself in a couple."

Telenovela Pioneer Delia Fiallo Dead At 96
By Andrew Limbong,
Mandalit del Barco
Delia Fiallo in her home in 2018. The Cuban writer moved to Miami with her family in 1966.
Delia Fiallo, the author and screenwriter whose peers and fans often called her the "mother of the telenovela," has died. She was 96 years old. Her daughter, Delia Betancourt, confirmed to NPR that Fiallo died Tuesday, in her home in Miami, Fla., just days before her July 4 birthday.
Fiallo scripted hugely popular dramas such as Cristal, Lenoela, and Rafaela during the 1970s and 1980s, which were broadcast throughout Latin America.
Her stories were filled with melodrama — amnesia, murder, illegitimate children, lost family members returning and torrid love affairs. She dealt with more serious subject matter too, such as rape and drug abuse. And while she was interested in escapist entertainment, her wide viewership gave her a sense of responsibility to approach her plotlines with a sense of taste and a message in mind, she told the Orlando Sentinel in a 1987 profile.
"At face value, a novela is comfortable and inexpensive entertainment for the whole family," Fiallo said. She later added, "I feel that all topics can be broached in a novela, as long as it is done in a way that is not crude, that does not hurt the viewers' sensibilities."
Fiallo was born on July 4, 1924 in Havana, Cuba. She earned a doctorate in philosophy and literature from the University of Havana, and got her start writing dramas for the radio. In 1966, she and her family left in exile for Miami, Fla. From there she restarted her career, brokering a deal with two television stations in Venezuela which would produce and distribute the scripts she wrote. The process was fast: "I've written scripts that were to be filmed that very day and that would air that night," she told the Orlando Sentinel.
Fiallo retired after her 1985 show Cristal. In 2011 the Summit of the Telenovela and Ficion Series Industry Awards created an award named after her to be given to pioneers of the industry. In a release announcing the news, Fiallo called the honor the most important of her life, because it also "reward[s] the work of others who have contributed to ... the world of telenovelas and fiction series."

Over the past 5 years using Google Apps for Education at the Collaborative, I have slowly learned through experimentation and loads of frustration (my own and that of other people) that Google provides the tools you should be using to simplify your collaboration and communication. The challenge is understanding the ways in which these tools work together and how to use them effectively (i.e. as Google wants you to use them).
Take, for example, using Google Groups. For a long time, I only used Google Groups as a listserv. It is only in recent months that I have realized that Groups is a powerful tool for being proactive about sharing and communicating. In many ways, using Groups is a gift to your future self. Your future self will be grateful to your present self and couldn't we all benefit from more kindness and gratitude?
Before I get to the full recommendations, let me tell you a story. It's a sad story of wasted time, much confusion, and tedium.

Q: mounting local network folder in Ubuntu I add a folder in /etc/fstab:
//172.30.12.37/test/ /home/my/test cifs user=afs,pass=123456,auto,exec,umask=002,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

Now test link can be seen in nautilus sidebar. But when I click on this icon, an error will be displayed:
mount: only root can mount //172.30.12.37/test/ on /home/my/test

How I can mount this folder from terminal with root user?

A: Try adding the user option in your opts at /etc/fstab.
From man 8 mount:

user   Allow  an  ordinary user to mount the filesystem.  The name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount the filesystem again.  This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in
                the option line user,exec,dev,suid).

A: You have more options:

*

*replace user asf and its pass with root and root password, if you have any. Since you are on Ubuntu, it's not trivial.

*add rights to user "asf", allow him to mount as root. Create one file in /etc/sudoers.d/ as root, named i.e. asf-mount, and with the following one line content:
asf ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/mount

Also change the access rights of this file to read-only: sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/asf-mount, and logout and login again with user asf.

You've got the right equipment. You've got the right clothes. You've got just about everything you need to take your exercise regime to the next level--but what about vitamins and supplements? The below supplements may help ensure your body is receiving all the nutrients it needs to keep you going strong.
Glucosamine is a chemical that promotes joint health. Although it's produced naturally by your body, athletes may find that taking a glucosamine supplement helps cut down on exercise-related aches and pains. You produce less glucosamine as you age, and supplements can help boost your levels and keep your joints pain free.
Iron does a lot for your body. It helps keep your immune system healthy, helps build red blood cells, and moves oxygen throughout the body. Many people get their iron from food, but sometimes it's not enough. Athletes require more iron than the average person--it can be lost through sweat during an intense workout. Runners in particular can lose iron through something called foot strike hemolysis, where red blood cells break down due to the pounding of feet on pavement.
In order to recoup lost iron, many athletes may find it beneficial to take an iron supplement.
You may know that calcium is important for bone health, but that's not all. Calcium also helps muscles contract smoothly, and athletes that are deficient in calcium may experience muscle cramps. Like iron, calcium can be lost through sweat, and supplements may help replace some of what's lost.
If you're taking a calcium supplement, you'll want to take Vitamin D as well. Vitamin D helps keep calcium levels in the blood stable, in addition to boosting the immune system and promoting heart and bone health. Vitamin D can be found naturally in fortified milk and orange juice, as well as sunlight. However, those who live in areas with long winters, or even those who just don't get outside a lot, may be Vitamin D deficient.
Caffeine lovers rejoice--caffeine may be good for more than just waking you up in the morning. There is some indication that caffeine can help you perform better when it comes to endurance sports, such as marathon running. Taking a caffeine supplement during a longer event may boost your energy levels and keep you going strong.
To take your athletic performance to the next level, consider integrating supplements into your daily routine. For a selection of professional supplements, visit a company such as Do Vitamins.

Q: Will Google search results reflect website text that I replace with a script? I'm trying to set up web documentation for a project. I want to use variables so that, when the project name inevitably changes, I can just replace it everywhere easily. For example, I want to create HTML pages with content like this:
"Get started with {{project_name}}"
And in the actual user experience, replace it (including in  elements) with the project name so the user sees something more like this:
"Get started with MyProject"
I already know how to do this using JavaScript in the head section, which is obviously only run when the page is opened.
However, and I realise this may be a stupid question, I'm concerned what effect this would have on Google search results for our project. Would our documentation be listed as "{{project_name}} documentation" in results, or as "MyProject documentation"?
If it'll show up as the first (which is obviously no good to me), does anybody know of an alternative method?


This post was featured in Autism Daily News!
My town regularly conducts tornado drills. I respond to them whenever I hear them as if it were the real thing. This either happens when Buddy is in school, or it doesn't take very long and we all go about like nothing happened. Unfortunately, when the real thing hit, Buddy didn't understand.
I heard the sirens go off the day after Christmas and frowned. This was an unusual time for them to conduct a test… unless it wasn't one. My phone went off; the city sent out a mass text warning us about the incoming tornado. Well, darn.
I set the kids up with the a board game in the hallway, along with emergency supplies. Time passed and my phone buzzed again. I looked and saw that the tornado warning had been extended a bit longer. Buddy had been fidgeting this entire time; he had new toys to play with and this was going longer than usual. I tried to keep him occupied. It was getting louder outside. Buddy couldn't take it anymore and bolted.
I chased him and brought him back, kicking and screaming. I tried to talk to him, I tried to explain that this was more than a thunderstorm. He wouldn't have any of it. It became a fight, with me using every muscle I had in me to try to keep him in the hallway. I hate pinning him down, but as a mother, the image of what a tornado could do to him wouldn't leave my mind. It didn't help that the power went out, and Buddy is scared of the dark. The flashlight I had on hand didn't interest or help him.
I happened to have a friend over that day. I'm so thankful; his apartment was destroyed by the tornado. He decided to go look, which did not help me convince Buddy that he shouldn't leave the hallway. He came back with this picture.
That was the view from my front porch. The storm got louder; the tornado got closer. Buddy screamed loud enough to match them both, fighting to get away. My friend had to help me restrain him. It took everything I had not to cry. I couldn't reach him.
My son knew we had to keep lights in the hallway during a tornado. He couldn't find his flashlight, so he had grabbed his lightsaber. Buddy blinked at it, and then asked if he could grab his light up toy. My friend ran and got it for us. The two boys kept things nice and light, ha ha.
The entire ordeal lasted two hours. When it quieted down and the power didn't come back on, I loaded up the kids and went to look for some food. The intersection near me was blocked by police, which I thought was odd. I hadn't noticed that the traffic lights weren't there anymore.
I tried to circle around it, and that's when I saw how close the tornado really came to hitting us. Homes, gone. Everyone standing outside in the cold. One home fine, another missing a roof. Cars with their windows blown out. A bedroom missing. All of this, right on my street. All of this, right on the other side of the intersection.
I had to drive 30min to find something to eat. It was four hours before I could go home. Every road in was blocked while they worked on clearing fallen power lines. Buddy slept through most of it, so it was a shock to him when we went to the library about a week later.
Oh, there's a fun question. How can I explain this? To be honest, try as I might, I ended up just saying that tornadoes were mean.
We were lucky. The path of the tornado was heading straight for us, and suddenly turned away and went up the street. My house has some minor damage to it; I'll need a new screen door. My friend had to move in with us, the poor guy. He owns nothing anymore, except his car and the clothes he was wearing.
Now, I have a new issue. Every time it rains, Buddy worries a tornado is going to come "boom" his house.

Following the other night's North Korean nuclear test, there was definitely enough anxiety to keep observers and analysts up for hours. But there are a couple factors at play allowing me to sleep pretty soundly. Hopefully they'll help you do the same!
The first is the relatively small yield – yes, it's larger than the first two tests, but that really doesn't mean anything. A 10 kiloton (or 6-7 kt or 15 kt) nuclear weapon is nothing to sneer at, but as the world saw with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a weapon of that kind isn't much more effective than conventional explosives. The firebombings of Tokyo did more damage and took more lives than either nuclear blast in World War II.
They've also talked about switching their nuclear fuel from plutonium to highly-enriched uranium, which is weird and kind of a step back. The United States used to use HEU but once we perfected plutonium processing techniques we stuck with that. It's a much more effective fuel for a multi-stage thermonuclear explosion, and it's a little weird for anyone to change from plutonium. If true, it could indicate a processing and/or supply issue, but that would be a good sign; it would means that they're having trouble sourcing fissile material. So they may not even have the raw materials necessary to build many bombs.
The other part is a little up in the air and I've heard competing claims, but nothing I've read so far confirms (despite Pyongyang's claims) that North Korea has successfully miniaturized a nuclear weapon – which would be a prerequisite for mounting it onto an ICBM. It's one of the most difficult steps in the technological scale of nuclear science and requires increasing reaction efficiency. The small gain in yield this test provided makes me think that they definitely haven't reached that step yet. I'm also not positive on the physics – and it might just be a coincidental concurrence rather than cause – but I believe the only miniaturized, i.e., ICBM warheads in existence are thermonuclear, and a failure to demonstrate that technology definitely means something.
So, in short, I'm not worried yet. They can't build very many bombs; the bombs they can build aren't especially powerful; they have no missile with the range to reach the United States and even if they did they haven't miniaturized a warhead sufficiently to mount on it; and their only means of delivering one of the few extant bombs is by bomber, which exist in low numbers and also don't have the range to hit the US, much less reach here undetected. So we're all safe over here for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, great job there, Pyongyang.
Analysts believe the first two tests used plutonium as the fissile material. The North is believed to possess enough weapons-grade plutonium for at least six bombs.
Where is the Tsar Bomba (58MT)? Honestly, these aren't remotely "modern" nuclear weapons. They're all free fall bombs, for one. Two, as delivery systems became more accurate (principally ballistic missiles), the yield needed to defeat a target shrank. Smaller warheads were mounted on MIRV buses with yields in the 300-450KT range for US weapons and 500KT to 1MT for Soviet weapons. Both sides did retain some massive weapons for very hard targets, but they are the exception and not the norm.

NPA Bank Research Highlights Banking Crisis for Pawnbrokers
NPA Research Highlights Banking Issues faced by Pawnbrokers
The National Pawnbrokers Association (NPA) has carried out research on its members to ascertain the extent of the banking crisis for pawnbrokers. The Association has also compared this with the situation in their previous survey in October 2015. According to Government research there are currently 1.3 million unbanked working adults, and the Treasury Select Committee (May 2019) have stated that the "financial inclusion of vulnerable consumers – and we can all be vulnerable at some point in our lives – should be of the utmost priority". Pawnbrokers and those undertaking money service businesses continue to support those people who could potentially become financially vulnerable, by helping them with short-term finance to smooth cashflow, where other lenders have failed to help them. The concern must always be that potentially vulnerable customers without access to regulated credit services, will find their only option to be the hands of the illegal money lenders - the loan sharks. The NPA wishes to ensure that its members can operate to provide much needed, safe, secure and affordable short-term loans for individuals and families that benefit from our vital regulated lending source."
Unfortunately, pawnbrokers continue to be under attack themselves from banks closing NPA members accounts. In that regard NPA are pleased to see that Kevin Hollinrake MP, Chair of the APPG for Fair Business banking has confirmed the group has accepted its place on UK Finance's Dispute Resolution Service (DRS) Implementation Steering Group (ISG)
Banks continue to cause significant harm to the industry for pawnbrokers and in particular to members undertaking money service business (MSBs). In a period of less than four years more than half of NPA members' accounts have closed. In nearly all cases bank action has been against MSB pawnbrokers (97%). On separate occasions, different banks appear to have 'purged' NPA's MSB members. Prior to 2015 HSBC and Lloyds seem to have carried out large scale de-risking programmes targeting the industry. From 2015 onwards Barclays, the largest player, closed 65% of accounts. Currently the most aggressive bank is Nat West who put 8 members at risk of account closure during 2018. This included most of the MSB pawnbroker accounts and some of the other pawnbrokers' accounts. The challenger banks have failed to rise to the challenge of supporting pawnbroker MSBs with no increase in the number of MSB accounts opened. Nearly 75% of members now have only one account and are therefore more vulnerable, compared to just 25% in 2015.

The Tax Court held that a taxpayer's settlement for unpaid disability benefits was not excludable from his gross income. The court found the taxpayer could not prove the settlement proceeds were excludable under Code Sec. 105(c) as payments for the permanent loss of a body function. In addition, the court determined that because the nature of the suit was to recover benefits, not for physical injuries or physical sickness, the proceeds weren't excludable under Code Sec. 104(a)(2). Braddock v. Comm'r, T.C. Summary 2016-46.
Prior to 2009, Richard Braddock was employed by Endress & Hauser (E&H), a company producing a range of instruments designed for use in dangerous environments and extreme conditions. During Braddock's employment with E&H, he was diagnosed with, among other things, a progressive musculoskeletal and neuromuscular syndrome, including progressive musculoskeletal pain. The pain was based on a combination of severe degenerative arthritis and neuromuscular disease. Braddock was provided with long-term disability coverage through the Lincoln National Life Insurance Co. (Lincoln National).
In 2009, Braddock left E&H and filed a claim for long-term disability benefits with Lincoln National, which subsequently denied his claim. In October 2010, Braddock filed a complaint against Lincoln National in a state district court, seeking long-term disability benefits under an ERISA plan pursuant to 29 U.S.C. Sec. 1132(a)(1)(B). In the complaint, the only mention of Braddock's condition was that he became disabled because of "certain problems from which he suffered," alleging that he was "forced to cease working and file a claim for long-term disability benefits."
In January 2011, Braddock signed a settlement agreement under which he accepted $45,000 as a settlement payment in consideration for settling his case and releasing Lincoln National generally. The agreement did not reference Braddock's health problems.
Although Braddock received a 2011 Form W-2 reporting the $45,000 as wage income, he did not report the $45,000 on his 2011 tax return. Following an audit, the IRS increased in Braddock's wage income by $45,000.
(2) the payments are computed with reference to the nature of the injury and without regard to the period the employee is absent from work.
Code Sec. 104(a)(2) allows taxpayers to exclude from income the amount of any damages (other than punitive damages) received (whether by suit or agreement and whether as lump sums or periodic payments) on account of personal physical injuries of physical sickness.
Before the Tax Court, Braddock argued that the settlement payment of $45,000 was excludable from his gross income under Code Sec. 105(c) or, in the alternative, was excludable under Code Sec. 104(a)(2).
The court noted that the parties did not address who paid the contributions to the disability insurance plan. In order for settlement proceeds to be excludible from income under Code Sec. 105(c), the requirements of Code Sec. 105(a) must first be met. Since Braddock had not proven that his employer paid the disability insurance premiums, he did not meet his burden of proof as to the requirements of Code Sec. 105(a). However, although Braddock did not meet his burden of proof and the court thus did not need to consider whether the settlement payment was excludable under Code Sec. 105(c), the court said that it would address Braddock's assertions since he had premised much of his case on an exclusion under that section.
The court stated that it has long held that insurance payments excludible from gross income under Code Sec. 105(c)(1) must fall into one of three categories: (1) payments for the permanent loss or loss of use of a member of the body; (2) payments for the permanent loss or loss of use of a function of the body; or (3) payments for permanent disfigurement. The court noted it has held that a loss of a function exists if it leaves a taxpayer "effectively without the use of his hands, legs, and feet, as opposed to whether his use is partially impaired." The court found that while Braddock claimed that his injuries "include paralysis, chronic cramping, and chronic pain," he did not provide proof of those assertions or that the settlement payment was for the permanent loss of his arms, legs, or feet or a function of such. Therefore, the court concluded that Braddock could not prove that the settlement payment is excluded from income under Code Sec. 105(c).
With regard to exclusion under Code Sec. 104(a)(2), the court noted that when a taxpayer receives a payment under a settlement agreement, as in the instant case, the nature of the claim that was the actual basis for settlement guides whether the payment is excludable from income. In this case, Braddock needed to show that his settlement payment was in lieu of damages for physical injuries or physical sickness. Braddock's action against Lincoln National, the court observed, was based on the cause of action under 29 U.S.C. Sec. 1132(a)(1)(B). Essentially, the court said, this section allows a person who participates in or benefits from a plan (including disability insurance) that is subject to ERISA to bring a civil action to enforce the participant's or beneficiary's rights under the plan. In filing that complaint, the court stated, Braddock was seeking to recover benefits he claimed Lincoln National owed him under the long-term disability insurance plan. The court noted the complaint expressly stated that Braddock sought long-term disability benefits and made only passing reference to "certain problems from which he suffered." It did not identify Braddock's physical injuries or physical sickness. Because the damages Braddock received were for nonpayment of disability insurance payments, the court found the lawsuit was not in the nature of a claim for recovery for physical injuries or physical sickness and thus the settlement proceeds were not excludable under Code Sec. 104(a)(2).

Q: How to melt a dataframe with tidyverse, and create a new column I have pet survey data from 6 households.
The households are split into levels (a,b).
I would like to melt the dataframe by aminal name (id.var), household (var.name), abundance (value.name), whilst adding a new column ("level") for the levels a&b.
My dataframe looks like this:
pet abundance data
I can split it using reshape2:melt, but I don't know how to cut the a, b, from the column names and make a new column of them? Please help.
raw_data = as.dataframe(raw_data)

melt(raw_data,
     id.variable = 'Animal', variable.name = 'Site', value.name = 'Abundance')

A: Having a go on some simulated data, pivot_longer is your best bet:
library(tidyverse)

df <- tibble(
  Animal = c("dog", "cat", "fish", "horse"),
  `1a` = sample(1:10, 4),
  `1b` = sample(1:10, 4),
  `2a` = sample(1:10, 4),
  `2b` = sample(1:10, 4),
  `3a` = sample(1:10, 4),
  `3b` = sample(1:10, 4)
)

df |>
  pivot_longer(
    -Animal,
    names_to = c("Site", "level"),
    values_to = "Abundance",
    names_pattern = "(.)(.)"
  ) |>
  arrange(Site, level)

Life in the Royal Navy had an advantage over life on land, specifically that of steady pay at quite decent rates, perhaps higher than most occupations on the shore (though not higher than work in the merchant service). Here is a look at the rates of pay for a sixth rate such as the Trincomalee in 1815. These are paid per lunar month.
*Surgeons had a sliding scale based on years of experience. They were allocated to ships according to their pay, hence a sixth rate would have a less experienced man than a first rate.
Physicians, who were more highly qualified earned even more.
** A midshipman ordinary was a boy who had been made up to the rank but not the post by the captain. They did the work of a midshipman but did not receive the pay. They got the pay of an able seaman.
Captain – 8 servants = £91/4/0 p.a.
First Lieutenant, Boatswain, Gunner, Carpenter – 2 servants = £22/16/0 p.a.
Other Lieutenants, Cook, Purser, Chaplain, Surgeon, Master – 1 servant = £11/8/0 p.a.
From this we can see that the addition of the 'servant allowance' was a useful sum to add to an officers pay.
6d per month was paid by everyone, officers and seamen alike to the upkeep of the Royal Hospital, Greenwich.
1/- per month paid by all warrant officers into the Greenwich Chest for the benefit of sick and hurt seamen.
3d per pound annually levied on all officers for the Officer's Widow's Fund.
In addition to this Billy Pitt's introduction of Income Tax in 1799 on anyone earning more than £60 p.a. removed even more. This was calculated on a sliding scale downwards with the highest rate being 2/- in the pound for salaries over £150 p.a.
Our captain will then be taking away (approximately) £255/19/0 p.a. (after deductions). Compare this to the captain of a first rate who would be paid £721/16/2.
A Lieutenant of a sixth rate might expect £100/15/0 and a Master £91/14/9. A surgeon (under 6 years) £60/8/9, while Carpenters, Gunners, Boatswains and Pursers would receive £48/13/6.
Any officer 'on the beach', either permanently (retired) or while awaiting a new ship or commission would be put on half-pay. They did not actually get half of what they might earn if employed but the rates were actually slightly better than that. For example a lieutenant at sea earned 6s per day while the lowest half-pay rate was 5s per day. There were some 3,000 lieutenants on the list and only the top 300 got the full half-pay of 7s per day. You will note that this is actually more than their sea-pay! Below that 700 got 6s per day and the rest got the 5s. The rates are calculated on a sliding scale according to seniority, not according to whatever rate their last ship was. So a captain recently made post would receive less than one with ten years seniority. It did not signify that he may have been on a higher rated ship than his senior counterpart. In 1815 half-pay was paid quarterly.
Standing warrant officers did not get half-pay but were entitled to a pension.

*SPOILERS* In Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander, Stephen Maturin, indifferent to wealth but desperately impoverished, accepts Commander "Lucky Jack" Aubrey's invitation to become ship's surgeon primarily to avoid starvation.

Service objects, when applied to an access rule, define which destination and client TCP/UDP ports and/or IP protocols that the service applied to the rule can use. By default, the Barracuda NextGen Firewall F-Series contains a set of pre-configured service objects. You can edit these service objects for a custom setup or a non-standard port, or you can create new services objects to reference IP protocols and, if TCP/UDP is used, the destination port numbers.
IP Protocol – The required protocol (e.g., TCP) for the service used by an access rule.
Port Protocol Protection can be configured as a part of every service object entry. It uses deep packet inspection to enforce the used protocol on a specific port or port range.
