Recently, there has been a great deal of attention paid to the deterioration of New York City's public housing stock and the plight of families living in New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments. We've seen a vigorous debate over how we got here, who is responsible, and who should control NYCHA going forward. While headlines surrounding NYCHA have been overwhelmingly negative, there is good news that illustrates the promise of better quality of life for NYCHA tenants.

Tig Notaro on Class Clowns, Comedy Shifts and Why She's Happy to Be Here
May 25, 2018 – 5:00 AM – 0 Comments
YouTube Star Jenny Doan Creates Patchwork of Success After Stock Market Crash

Comedy favorite Tig Notaro has been in the stand-up game for two decades now, but you could never accuse her of standing still or being predictable when it comes to her storytelling. Her new Netflix comedy special, Happy to Be Here, offers audiences a wonderful update on her fascinating journey and highlights why we can't get enough of her unique style of truth-telling.
I caught up with the comic, writer and actor to find out more about Happy to Be Here, her fascinating creative life and how comedy reflects her real world.
Listen to the conversation with Tig Notaro on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher.
Notaro views Happy to Be Here as the third piece to a trilogy. With her 2012 release, Live, and 2015's Boyish Girl Interrupted reflecting the difficult challenges she faced during those times, Happy to Be Here is the happy update we all hope for beyond adversity.
For the woman whose comedy would become legendary, not to mention educationally important, because of her own breast cancer diagnosis, survival and frank reveal, Happy to Be Here couldn't have a better title. While Boyish Girl Interrupted felt like "crawling out of all of the rubble," Notaro says her writing for the new Netflix special felt very different. "I just noticed that there was nothing heavy about what I was writing. It was all really fun and lighthearted, and I just felt like it was pure joy."
Happy to Be Here reminds us that laughter and its power can come from all experiences. And Notaro's seamless delivery hands over the laughs in the true Tig style that can positively change your day.
What does the comic and advocate hope others will take away from Happy to Be Here? "I think that as much as I have done very honest or heavy material, I hope people take away that I have a very silly, lighthearted side to me. And that I hope that that spreads, not just about myself, but with other people. I think it's nice to go into the heavy stuff when it's necessary, but I think it's also good to move on and allow yourself to be in a joyful place."
She's happier and busier than ever, working on new stand-up material, writing and developing projects with wife Stephanie while they also focus on raising their "two little roommates." (The couple are the proud parents of twin toddlers.)
As her star has risen, has Notaro heard from people from her past reminding her that she was always a really funny kid?
Notaro laughs, "I failed three grades and dropped out of high school and was definitely the class clown. And you know, in that time in my childhood, I thought like what everyone was telling me was that I was kind of, you know, a mischievous or a bad kid in school. And what's really funny is that all of that time I put into being the class clown has paid off. It was like my college, because now I'm a professional clown essentially."

Q: Questions about $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})/\mathbb{Q})$
Consider the extension $\mathbb{Q} \subset\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})$. How many elements are there in $\text{Aut}(\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})/\mathbb{Q})?$ Describe all elements in $\text{Aut}(\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})/\mathbb{Q})$. Find all subgroups of $\text{Aut}(\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})/\mathbb{Q})$ and their fixed fields.

I'm using Dummit & Foote Chapter 14 (Galois Theory) if it needs to be referenced. Chapter 13 was a breeze for me so I just feel like I need someone to explain how easy of a connection this is and it'll just click (or maybe it's not and I need to be told that, too). I really just need direction.

A: Hint: An automorphism fixes the integers, indeed the rationals. So it has to carry $\sqrt{2}$ to $\pm\sqrt{2}$, and $\sqrt{3}$ to $\pm\sqrt{3}$. There are not many candidates.

A: You know that any automorphism of $\Bbb{Q}\left(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}\right)$ fixing $\Bbb{Q}$ has to send $\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{3}$ to another root of their respective minimal polynomials, so that you might want to look at those polynomials/roots and see/count the different (coherent) ways you can permute the roots. Once you do that, you should be able to determine what an arbitrary element does by seeing what it does to the elements of a basis of $\Bbb{Q}\left(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}\right)$ (viewed as a $\Bbb Q$ vector space).

A: Hint:
$\text{Aut}(\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}):\mathbb{Q})$ $\cong$ $\mathbb{Z_2} \times\mathbb{Z_2}$
This together with the other hints should give you the answer. You will still need to find the subgroups and their corresponding fixed fields, which is not too difficult.

The Panthers Match Philanthropic Passion with Creative Prowess
Home » Creative News » The Panthers Match Philanthropic Passion with Creative Prowess
by Tim Miner on December 22, 2020
"Our experience working with local artists … was truly eye-opening. Each artist brought their own flavor to the collaboration and took to heart the passion behind the highlighted cause of each player." – Jill Cole, Community Relations Assistant for the Carolinas Panthers
When the Carolina Panthers took the field against the Denver Broncos on Dec. 13, a select group of players carried their passion for philanthropy in their hearts … and on their cleats … onto the field.
For the past five seasons, each team in the NFL has matched players with local artists for the #MyCauseMyCleats initiative.
Players select a nonprofit organization that has meaning to them, and the artists design and decorate cleats to tell the story of that nonprofit. After the game, the cleats are donated to the chosen nonprofits or auctioned off by the NFL to raise money on their behalf.
Matching Philanthropic Passion with Creative Prowess
This year, the Panthers wanted to work with artists who had assisted in social justice efforts and the Black Lives Matter murals painted in Charlotte and Spartanburg. After selecting six players to participate in the program — Corn Elder, Tyler Larson, Aaron Montiero, Colin Thompson, Michael Schofield, Tahir Whitehead and Brandon Zylstra — they asked Charlotte Is Creative* to help them identify artists for the program.
Throughout November, players and artists collaborated on the designs, which were unveiled at the game against the Broncos.
"Our experience working with local artists … was truly eye-opening," said Jill Cole, community relations assistant for the Carolinas Panthers. "Each artist brought their own flavor to the collaboration and took to heart the passion behind the highlighted cause of each player."
This project gave the Panthers a new insight into the Queen City's creative prowess. "As Charlotte continues to transform and grow, local artists are playing a vital role in helping shape Charlotte's identity as a vibrant and evolving community," Cole said.
We asked artists who created shoes for the Panthers to share their experiences.
Artist: CHD:WCK
Player: Tyler Larsen, Center
Nonprofit: The Autism Community in Action
What was the inspiration behind the design?
"I took a lot of input from Tyler on the shoes. He's very passionate about the organization The Autism Community In Action (TACA) … His son was diagnosed with Autism and I really wanted to include as many elements relating to autism awareness as I could. The color scheme, as well as the puzzle pieces, reflect that."
What was this experience like for you as an artist?
"I love being able to communicate visually, and I've recently been exploring creating artwork on apparel, so to do something new, and to do it for a positive cause, was a great experience."
If you'd like CHD:WCK to design shoes for you:
CHD:WCK is considering customizing clothing items, including shoes and sneakers, in the future, but isn't taking commissions at this time.
Watch a Video of Tyler Lawson sharing the inspiration behind his cleats.
Artist: DeNeer Davis
Players: Brandon Zyltstra, Wide Receiver & Michael Schofield, Guard
Nonprofits: One Love & The Schofield Family Foundation
What were the inspirations behind the designs?
"When I found out I was going to be doing [One Love], I got excited because 'love' is everything I stand for and after hearing about One Love and doing the cleats, it inspired me to want to get involved with them."
"'Love is the most important thing in our lives!' I wanted to place [this quote] on the cleats as a gentle reminder: Love. It's all we need!"
"My inspiration behind The Schofield Family Foundation was the many pillars they support dealing with family."
" Amazing … I was honored to receive the call. It was like a dream come true ."

Expect two to three weeks for turnaround
Artist: Marcus Kiser
Player: Aaron Montiero, Tackle
Nonprofit: Charlotte Rescue Mission
"Aaron … wanted to focus on substance abuse and addiction. So, we chose Charlotte Rescue Mission (residential recovery programs that help men and women struggling with addiction achieve long-term sobriety).
"My design was based on elements of Charlotte Rescue Mission's logo, which is a mended, broken heart. I wanted to take broken design elements and create a beautiful unified design … to represent recovery, love and healing. Aaron also wanted to go with a red, black and white color theme to represent his hometown. This just happens to be Charlotte Rescue Mission's brand colors, too. He also wanted to include his mom's name."
"This was my first time painting shoes, so I had to learn pretty quickly due to the short timeline. It was a new experience. I actually bought an airbrush. It was my first time using an airbrush and despite some learning curves, I really loved the experience."

Expect two to four weeks for turnaround
Artist: Lo'Vonia Parks
Player: Corn Elder, Cornerback
Nonprofit: City Year
"The inspiration was '90's nostalgia. I included Corn's favorite color (Carolina blue), his social justice cause (Black Lives Matter) and the organization (City Year). Result: Red and blue crazy pattern and color!"
"This experience was a pleasant experimentation pushing beyond the canvas into wearable art."

Expect two weeks for turnaround
Artist: Frankie Zombie
Player: Tahir Whitehead, Left Back
Nonprofit: Training Recreation Education Center (TREC)
"It's what I call my 'energy signature aesthetic.' It's a perfect blend of 'graffiti nuances in abstract form.' The information Tahir provided about Training Recreation Education Center (TREC) in New Jersey is that it's where youth of the city can come to excel in many things."
"I'm originally from New York, which is right next door to New Jersey, and the graffiti nuances remind me of where I come from — the Bronx . It reminds me of the beginnings, the struggle — wanting to find an outlet that keeps me out of trouble and the major love for color that I developed early."
"The abstract form of the graffiti is a testimony of where my abstract work has taken me in my art career — from the U.S to Amsterdam, etc. With players like Tahir creating a hub for youth to know they matter in this world as young kings and queens is highly important, and this is the kind of energy I spread through my artwork."
"The experience for me was humbling, first and foremost, and also much of a 'right at home' feeling for me … I provide custom shoe services to clients and celebs, but, more importantly, before each custom shoe I make, it is my duty to build a relationship with that person and find a common ground where we are both spreading a positive message to the rest of the world. [That's] exactly what #MyCauseMyCleats stands for."
If you'd like Zombie to design shoes for you:
Visit FrankieZombie.com
Artist: Destiny Wilson (a.k.a. @TheArtvst)
Player: Colin Thompson, Tight End
Nonprofit: Athletes Helping Athletes (AHA)
"I wanted to use the features of the shoe to incorporate the organization (Athletes In Action) by highlighting the letters 'A.H.A.' Colin mentioned the toe area of his cleats are always visible, so I made sure to include their logo on the right toe and spelled the organization out on the left.
"I also incorporated a silhouette of one athlete throwing a football on the left cleat to the other athlete catching the ball on the right cleat to get the theme of Athletes Helping Athletes across."
" There were a lot of 'firsts.' Although designing and customizing shoes is currently my focal medium, I never worked with a pair of cleats before or worked with the materials on the shoe."
"I got to discuss the cause with Colin over Zoom, and this was also my first time even attending a football game. This project also happens to be the quickest turnaround time on a custom pair of shoes…"
"Overall, I had a wonderful time working with Colin and his cause he wanted to support. I can say this was a challenge I didn't know I needed and an experience I won't forget!"

Ants cause problems primarily when they forage in buildings for food or water and when they construct nests in buildings and gardens. When searching for food, they can be attracted to a wide range of products with different species preferring sweets, meats, fats or oils. They will also search indoors for water during dry periods. When desirable items are found many species will recruit fellow nest mates to help gather the food and return it to the nest. This can result in large numbers of ants appearing over a short period of time.
Outdoors, nesting activity can result in excavated soil being deposited in gardens and on brickwork. In most cases this causes little property damage but some species, especially species of Aphaenogaster, can form large numbers of chambers close to the surface. These chambers can cause soil to become soft and uneven, causing serious problems when found in golf courses or some types of pastures or crops. A few species will occasionally attack electrical wiring, apparently being attracted to either the insulation or the magnetic fields produced by the wires. In these situations extensive damage has occurred.
Several species of ants pose serious health threats to people who are sensitive to their stings. These include species of Myrmecia in southern regions and Odontomachus in northern areas. In extreme cases hospitalization may be required. Other species are known to carry diseases and can pose a threat in hospitals and veterinary clinics (some introduced species of Monomorium and the Argentine ant, Linepthema humile). Fortunately these cases are uncommon in Australia and in general ants are mainly a nuisance pest rather than a serious health problem.
If ants pose a problem to you, call Melbourne Pest Control for advise and a free quote.

Guardiola in the dark over availability of Brazilian players
Manchester City are still waiting for a decision from governing body Fifa and the Premier League on whether they can play Brazil internationals Ederson and Gabriel Jesus in Saturday's game against Leicester City, manager Pep Guardiola said.
City are among the English clubs who did not release Brazilian players for the international break as they would have had to quarantine for 10 days on their return.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) invoked a five-day ban which stops clubs from picking players who have not been released to play in this weekend's Premier League games.
"Hopefully (Ederson and Jesus) can play, we'll wait and see if there is good news, the club didn't inform me anything. The problem is I don't understand the situation for the fact that I don't know what we have to do," Guardiola told reporters.
"Argentina players can travel and they can't play the game. Brazil asked to ban players who can not travel. They can not play there and they can not play here. It's crazy.
"Right now I think they are going to play because I don't have other instructions… We will wait for Fifa and the Premier League and after tomorrow we are going to decide."
Guardiola cannot pick second-choice goalkeeper Zack Steffen either after the US international tested positive for Covid-19 and was forced to isolate in the United States, with Scott Carson in line for a start.
When asked whether all English clubs would go ahead and play their Brazil internationals without clarity from Fifa, Guardiola was unsure if they would take a stand together.
"This kind of situation, I am not a big fan of that, everyone thinks for themselves. From my experience… people go for what is the best for themselves," he added.
Brazilian players, Guardiola


Come Meet New Mexico's Newest Dinosaur at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science!
Please join us at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science next Wednesday, September 24, at 12pm to meet New Mexico's newest dinosaur. Ziapelta sanjuanensis is a new genus of ankylosaur (armored dinosaur) discovered in 2011 by a joint field party of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNHS, Albuquerque) and the State Museum of Pennsylvania (SMP, Harrisburg) who were working on a BLM-funded survey of the paleontology of the Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness of northwestern New Mexico. The fossil and several members of the field party who discovered it will be available at the press event next Wednesday at the museum.
Ziapelta is a new kind of armored dinosaur distinguished by unique features of the armor plates on the skull and the uniquely shaped horns that adorn the posterior edges of the skull. Its closest relatives are Late Cretaceous ankylosaurs found north of New Mexico, particularly in Alberta, Canada. The name of the dinosaur is for the Zia sun symbol, Latin pelta (small shield) and San Juan County, New Mexico.
Dr. Robert M. Sullivan, then Curator of Paleontology at the SMP (now retired, and a NMMNHS research associate) discovered the fossil in the Kirtland Formation. The fossil is approximately 73 million years old, which dates it to the late Cretaceous period.
An article describing Ziapelta will be published in the journal PLOS ONE, and will be available next Wednesday at the following link: http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0108804. The research and publication is the work of a team of scientists that includes Victoria Arbour and Michael Burns, both ankylosaur experts at the University of Alberta, Canada; the discoverer, Dr. Robert Sullivan; Fort Hays State University graduate student Joshua Fry; NMMNHS Curator Spencer G. Lucas; Geoscience Collections Manager Amanda Cantrell; and Fossil Preparator Thomas Suazo.
Sullivan, Fry, Lucas, Cantrell, and Suazo were the 2011 field party that discovered the fossil. Cantrell, Suazo, and Sullivan prepared the fossil.
The New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science preserves and interprets the distinctive natural and scientific heritage of our state through extraordinary collections, research, exhibits, and programs designed to ignite a passion for lifelong learning.

Australia's new Data Retention laws
> Idigital > Safe Habor ECJ decision > State Surveillance
Scott Ludlam's Top Five Tips On Dodging Tomorrow's Data Retention Laws - New Matilda. With data retention laws about to kick in, New Matilda speaks to its major parliamentary opponent about what it means for online freedoms and how to beat the system. Max Chalmers reports. With Parliament resuming, Senator Scott Ludlam is back in Canberra today, primed for a week that will see legislation he fought to the bitter end finally take effect. From tomorrow, companies that provide your phone and internet services will be required by law to keep records of a range of your activities for two years, and provide them to various government agencies and staff without a warrant.
The laws garnered a huge response from civil and online rights groups, with Ludlam becoming the parliamentary face of a spirited campaign against the changes, an effort torpedoed by the bipartisan consensus of Labor and the Coalition. "I think the first thing to note is that there is nothing illegal about circumventing data retention," he says. That would be this interview. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Majority of ISPs not ready for metadata laws that come into force today. Updated The vast majority of Australian internet service providers (ISPs) are not ready to start collecting and storing metadata as required under the country's data retention laws which come into effect today. ISPs have had the past six months to plan how they will comply with the law, but 84 per cent say they are not ready and will not be collecting metadata on time.
The figures come from a survey sent to ISPs by telecommunications industry lobby group Communications Alliance. It found two-thirds of them are still not entirely sure what type of metadata the Government wants retained. Communications Alliance chief executive John Stanton said ISPs have had to start collecting a significant amount of new data, and complying with the laws has been difficult and time consuming. "The Government's claim that what they're asking for is retention of the status quo has never been correct," he said. "The vast majority [of ISPS] are saying: 'We're trying, but we're not there yet'. " The survey found: Australia begins mass data retention under new law - BBC News. Image copyright Reuters Large amounts of telecommunications metadata must now be kept for two years by Australian telecommunications companies, after a new law that came into effect on Tuesday.
It includes data on who called or texted whom and for how long, as well as location, volume of data exchanged, device information and email IP data. Some data was already being retained but the new rules expand on this. It also makes it much easier for authorities to access the records. The new law has caused heated debate among Australians with some justifying the expanded data retention and others pointing out flaws in the plan.
Why was it implemented? The bill was introduced to the Australian parliament when current prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, was communications minister. He called it "critical" for security agencies and law enforcement, citing investigations into domestic terrorism. Image copyright EPA What does it cover?

Australians' rights and freedom to speak out under threat, warns UN official | Australia news. Important rights and freedoms are at risk of being "chipped away" in Australia, the United Nations special rapporteur for freedom of expression has warned. In an interview with Guardian Australia, David Kaye said laws restricting reporting on asylum seeker policies were "a real threat" to sources and whistleblowers.
"You see in Australia the restrictions on sources and reporters who might want to report about the migrant detention situation," Kaye said. "And there might be some situations, perhaps based on privacy, where some information should not be released, and the restrictions on the disclosure might be legitimate. "But blanket restrictions on an area of policy that is really of great importance to the public, I think that's a real threat to sources. Kaye said Australia had some strong protections, but there was growing concern about government overreach.

The transaction was prompted by an unsolicited offer from Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to BlackRock Solutions, the investment manager for ML II, to buy ML II assets. Consistent with its March 2011 announcement regarding the disposition procedures for ML II, which allowed for these types of reverse inquiries, the New York Fed directed BlackRock Solutions to conduct a sale via a competitive process. The five broker-dealers included in the competitive process were Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and RBS Securities Inc. The broker-dealers were selected based on the strength of each of their recently submitted reverse inquiries for large parcels of the portfolio.
The New York Fed decided to move forward with the transaction only after determining that the winning bid represented good value for the public. Net proceeds from the sale will be reported as part of the portfolio's normal reporting schedule on April 16, 2012.
William C. Dudley, President of the New York Fed, said, "I am pleased with the continued interest in these assets and am especially gratified that the New York Fed's loan to ML II will be repaid as a result of the sale announced today."
As stated previously, the New York Fed, through BlackRock Solutions, will dispose of the remaining securities in the ML II portfolio individually and in segments over time as market conditions warrant through a competitive sales process, while taking appropriate care to avoid market disruption. There will be no fixed timeframe for the sales; at each stage, the Federal Reserve will only transact if the best available bid represents good value for the public.
Following repayment of the New York Fed's senior loan, additional proceeds will be allocated as per the ML II agreement. Proceeds from additional asset sales that are allocated to the New York Fed will be included in the Federal Reserve's remittances of income to the U.S. Treasury.
The New York Fed publishes on its website a list of all the securities in the ML II portfolio. In order to allow the public to track progress on asset dispositions, the New York Fed provides monthly updates on portfolio holdings and a list of the securities sold within the prior month. In addition, it provides quarterly updates on total proceeds from sales, including a breakdown by counterparty. The New York Fed will also provide further details regarding all ML II transactions, including an account showing the acquirer and the price paid for each individual security three months after the last asset is sold, ensuring timely accountability without jeopardizing the ability to generate maximum sale proceeds for the public.

Strategic analysis of the region (on the example of the Mogilev region, the Republic of Belarus)
Ekaterina V. Rezanova (Belarusian State University 9 Kalvariyskaya St., Minsk, 220004, Republic of Belarus)
The relevance of the strategic analysis of regions is due to a high degree of dynamism, complexity and interdependence of the processes of socio-economic development in the context of the development of a post-industrial society, as well as the increasing importance of close interaction between citizens and government bodies in making managerial decisions. Strategic planning, taking into account the assessment of internal and external conditions for the development of the region, as well as socio-economic forecasting, will acquire great importance. The article systematizes the approaches to the implementation of regional strategic analysis, defines the areas of applied analysis of regions with access to a system of methods and directions of forecasting. On the example of the Mogilev region of the Republic of Belarus, a strategic analysis was carried out within the framework of territorial and systemic approaches using sociological research methods: analysis of statistical and official information, the results of in-depth interviews with representatives of the management vertical, social sphere and public organizations. The strategic analysis of the Mogilev region made it possible to identify the characteristic features of specific territories and individual spheres of life of the region and to determine the following directions of its development at the level of public administration: active construction of business entities of a logistics focus, which will make it possible to develop innovative management and automation technologies, international cooperation in the field of logistics, attract foreign investment, create new jobs, and align the development of the subregions; greening and modernization of chemical enterprises, ensuring the radiation safety of the population, which will preserve the demographic and labor potential of the region, as well as intensify the development of various directions of the tourism industry; increasing the role of local self-government and widespread use of Internet resources in the interaction of the population and public authorities, which will increase the social activity of citizens and the transparency of management decisions.

Royal Caribbean acquires Pullmantur, adds to Celebrity Expeditions fleet
This August, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (parent company of the Celebrity and Royal Caribbean cruise lines) announced its intentions to purchase Madrid-based Pullmantur, a cruise and tour operator. Spain and Portugal have recently given their antitrust approvals, effectively giving the green light on a mid-November purchase date.
Does this news affect American cruisers? It does if you're a Celebrity fan. Pullmantur's Blue Dream will enter the Celebrity fleet in April 2007, after getting some upgrades in dry dock and changing its name to the Celebrity Journey. The 718-passenger ship will join the Celebrity Xpedition as part of the line's small-ship Celebrity Expeditions sector. It will sail Bermuda cruises out of Bayonne.
In exchange, the Zenith will become part of Pullmantur's fleet. The ship will sail its last Celebrity-flagged cruise on April 13, 2007, and join the Spanish line in June. The Zenith will carry mostly Spanish passengers on seven-night Mediterranean cruises.
If you already have reservations on the Zenith for Bermuda cruises in 2007, a Celebrity representative will be contacting you about transferring your reservation to the Celebrity Journey. Guests booked on these cruises can call 888-281-9343 to ask further questions about the ship swap. Celebrity will begin accepting new bookings on the Journey within the next few days.

Q: OpenDKIM - cannot determine host's domain name, so skipping default key generation I've just set up OpenDKIM on my CentOS 6 server but keep getting the following warning each time I start the service:
Cannot determine host's domain name, so skipping default key generation.

I have my server's hostname and domain name set up in /etc/sysconfig/network as well as in /etc/hosts but yet it seems that OpenDKIM fails to pick up that info.
Any ideas how I can fix this?

A: Check you /etc/hosts, must like this:
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

93.170.131.123 myhost.com

A: After setting you /etc/hosts a restart is required.

103 Squadron RAF
103 Squadron RAF 1918 cont'd
From 15 August 80 Wing's commander, Lt. Col. L A Strange, switched the Wing's targets to German airfields. There followed attacks on Harbourdin on 15 August and on Lomme (Jasta 2's base) two days later. These attacks used all the fighter squadrons (88, 92, 2AFC & 4AFC) of the Wing. Col. Strange led these attacks himself and some 65 aircraft were involved. No 103 Sqn in the meantime continued high level bombing, weather permitting. Lomme was bombed by 103 sqn on 19 August and were attacked by 8 Pfalz scouts at 15,000 ft, Capt. Sparks and Lt. Loly leading the formation claimed one Pfalz destroyed. Lomme was bombed on 25 August and on this raid the formation was attacked by 10 Fokker aircraft at 14,000 ft, in the ensuing fight two EA were claimed destroyed and three EA driven down OOC; Capt. Stubbs & Lt. Russell and Capt. Dodds & Lt. Corey made two claims each.
German airfield at Marcq with screening smoke, six canvas hangars visible.
History note
The Battle of Bapaume commenced on 23 August 1918 and for the first time attacking Divisions of the British Third and Fourth Armies were given distant rather than limited objectives. The Germans were considered to be in a sufficiently weakened state that they would be likely to withdraw in the face of resolute action. Bapaume and St Quentin were taken by 1 September. The British First Army to the north and on the left of Third Army opened an offensive on 26 August, the Battle of the Scarpe. X Brigade supporting the Fifth Army to the First's left extended their offensive patrols South to provide additional support. These offensives marked the start of the general movement Eastwards pushing the German Army back. The offensive paused and from 5 September orders were issued to allow RAF squadrons some rest with a marked reduction of fighting squadrons being required to cross the lines. The final assault on the main German defences of the Hindenburg line commenced on 27 September. See map of the British area of operations.
On 27 August, in answer to a call from I Brigade who reported considerable troop movement opposite the battle front in Biache, 103 Sqn carried out a raid in very bad weather, and dropped 10 112LB bombs. A similar raid in bad weather was later carried out on La Miterie aerodrome.
On 30 August separate reconnaissance missions between Bac St Maur and Armentieres and over Laventie, respectively, were attacked by formations of enemy aircraft. Capt. Stubbs & Lt. Dance claimed one EA driven down out of control. Lt.s Hett & Eddy were attacked by seven Fokker Triplanes, Eddy was shot through the thigh, but in spite of his wound destroyed 1 EA whose wings fell off, and shot down another EA out of control. Both crews returned safely apart from Eddy's injury.
From this point on the squadron was targeting airfields and railway junctions more or less due east of their base at Serny. 103 Sqn were in action on 16 September attacking targets around Lille including Lomme airfield; 2nd Lt. Cole & Sgt. Hookway were killed in action having been attacked by two EA when they fell behind the formation, possibly with engine trouble; Capt. Ayrton & 2nd Lt. Jenkins having been seen to spin down emitting smoke, were presumed to have been hit by ack-ack, and were taken prisoner - the latter however died of wounds. The returning formation was broken up by heavy ack-ack fire. Two days later during a raid on Harbourdin, Lt. Phillips & 2nd Lt. Owen were killed in action over Lille, assumed to be hit by ack-ack and observed to spin down and crash from 15,000 ft (now believed shot down by Jasta 52 pilot OfStv O Sowa). On 24 September during a bombing raid on Sante, the formation was attacked by some 20 EA and had to fight their way home latterly supported by No 88 Sqn Bristol Fighters. Lt.s Chrispin & Bannerman claimed one EA OOC. Lt. Heebner & 2nd Lt. Davenport photographing this raid, were missing later confirmed killed in action over Lorgies; Lt. Noel was also killed and his observer Sgt. Ovens taken prisoner after being attacked by four EA over La Bassée. On 27 September the Squadron ran into what they believed to be Richthofen's Flying Circus after two bombing raids on Wasne-au-Bac (N. of Cambrai), maintaining a tight formation the DH9s suffered only one wounded in action, Lt. Crees, an observer. (It is unlikely to have been Richthofen's JGI which was was further South but may have been JG III which included Jasta 2 (Böelke)).
At the beginning of October Fives Junction (Lille) was a frequent target being attacked on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. On 7 October Sgt. McKie & 2nd Lt. Pitot were brought down by ack-ack on a bombing raid on Denain (at 14,000 ft), the former being killed and the latter dying of wounds or injuries on landing. Of nine aircraft on this raid three had to return with their bombs following engine trouble. By comparison during the raid carried out three days before, on Fives Junction, 10 aircraft had reached the objective with no drop outs, though this seemed exceptional.
On 18 October four Squadrons of 80 Wing carried out a large raid on Tournai and district, with eight aircraft of 103 sqn led by the CO Maj Nethersole coming down to 2500 ft, in their first low level attack, dropping 16 112lb bombs on Tournai station. 2 AFC attacked their targets at 50 to 1000 ft. All aircraft returned safely.The raid is recorded in RAF Communique 29 (see below).
RAF Communiqué No 29
A very successful bombing and machine gun attack on Tournai and district was carried out by 2 and 4 Sqns AFC, 88 and 103 Sqns under extremely bad weather conditions ... (2 AFC leading the attack at low level) obtained four direct hits on trains in the vicinity of Tournai. Seven direct hits with bombs were secured on hangars on Froyennes aerodrome ... The aerodrome at Pont-a-Chin received direct hits on hangars, three of which were set on fire. 103 Sqn, following 2 AFC, caused a large explosion in Tournai Station with bombs and started several fires ... an ammunition train received a direct hit, several explosions started and the train was seeen to be burning from end to end.
Engine and track destroyed at Ghislengheim (Bassilly) on 10 November 1918 by Lt. Hallawell and Sgt Watkinson making a lone attack from 8,000 feet with a 230 lb bomb after the rest of the formation "washed out" due to bad weather.
On 23 October, nine machines of 103 Sqn led by Capt. Dodds at 12,000 ft dropped 4 230lb and 10 112lb bombs on Leuze. A tenth DH9 returned home with engine trouble. The formation was attacked by 10 Fokker Biplanes who were unable to make any impression on them; two EA were destroyed, two were sent down out of control, and another driven down. Two claims were made by Sgt. Haines & 2nd Lt. McDonald and one by Sgt. McNeill & 2nd Lt. Davison. Three days later Lt. Chrispin led an eight aircraft raid on Ath but diverted to Leuze because of poor visibility and dropped 2 230lb and 12 112lb bombs from 13,500 ft; 4 EA were seen over the objective but did not attack.

Jalandhar: The Department of Foreign Languages at Lovely Professional University (LPU) organized dramatization of world-renowned French playwright Molière's farcical comedy 'L' Avare's at LPU Stage, today. Occasion was French Theatre Show- "L' Avare (the Miser)" presented at Shanti Devi Mittal Auditorium of the University. Directed by famous Indian theatre artist Varun Kapoor, the theme of the show highlighted "Independence-Seeking Youth" and "Generation Gap in Thinking". For the best performance of this play, Alliance Française (recognized by the French Ministry of Education), which has collaboration with LPU, had assisted in bringing the artists from its Delhi Centre. Alliance Francaise also keeps on providing updated guide lines to LPU Faculty in French Language about courses, official French exams, French culture-activities at LPU Campus. Such an endeavour especially favoured all those students who aspire for higher studies in France.
Since 17th Century, many of this play's versions have been staged and filmed in different languages world across. LPU students of all professions found a cathartic effect for their modern day humane and revolutionary understanding, and thus enjoyed every bit of it. A French classic by Charles-Antoine Coypel Molière, the 5-act comedy L' Avare (Kanjoos in its Hindustani adaptation and 'The Miser' in English) is a farcical comedy about a great miser and his family-members, servants and acquaintances. The plot revolves around the classic conflict of love and money and the follow-on clash throws up funny situations. This results in a tug-of-war between the miser and independence-seeking youth.
The central character- a widower miser and a tyrannical father- is ever obsessed with wealth. Under recovery of debt, he intends to marry a teenager with the power of wealth, and also keeps on forcing his young daughter to marry an old rich-man to save any dowry. Although he is over sixty, he is ever seen keen in arranging marriage with that young girl, who is found in love with miser's son. Both the son and daughter are humane and revolutionary and get their wishes fulfilled as the story proceeds. The complications are only resolved at the end, meanwhile bringing roars of laughter from the audience created out of the amusing characters, situations and dialogues.
Highlighting, one of the Centres of Professional Enhancement at LPU, which streamlined collaboration between Alliance Francaise and LPU to promote French culture, assisted Department of Foreign Languages to host the show. The presentation of French play "L'Avare" has been made in the same framework.

Mr. P.N. Sukumaran Nair
Customer name : Mr. P.N. Sukumaran Nair
Location : Kozhikode, Kerala
Mr. P.N. Sukumaran Nair has been a loyal customer of Shriram City Union Finance (Shriram City) for over a decade. He was introduced to Shriram City's retail investment products by Mr. Abhilash, a Shriram City employee. Investing in Shriram City was an easy choice for Mr. Nair as he had already heard a lot about the company from his friends.
He credits Shriram City with helping him to achieve his wealth creation goals with minimum risk. An added bonus was that Mr. Nair also started earning a commission when his friends began to invest in Shriram City based on his recommendation. Now in his seventies and residing in Kozhikode, Mr. Nair recalls that Shriram City once used to offer a much higher rate of interest than other private players, and even Post Office Savings schemes. It is a testimony to the quality and reliability of Shriram City that Mr. Nair, a person with considerable investment experience, still recommends Shriram City to all those who seek a safe investment avenue to meet their life goals.
Mr. G. Nagapulliah
Customer name : Mr. G. Nagapulliah
Location : Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh
Mr. G. Nagapulliah is a person who values stability and reliability. This is why he has consistently turned to Shriram City Union Finance (Shriram City) for his investment needs.
An agent introduced him to Shriram City more than ten years ago, and Mr. Nagapulliah credits Shriram City investments with helping him to achieve major life goals like his daughter's wedding with minimum difficulty. Moreover the good returns that Shriram City gives him on his hard-earned money have helped Mr. Nagapulliah and his family to rise to a respectable position in their community. It speaks volumes for the trust he has in the company that Shriram City is the only private sector company that Mr. Nagapulliah has invested in. He says that this trust was reinforced by the fact that Shriram City stood firm during a time when many other NBFCs went out of business. A good rate of return and the security of the investment have made Mr. Nagapulliah return to Shriram City time and again for his financial needs. He has also been a customer in other product categories like gold loans.
He suggests that door-delivery of documents and certificates, and the introduction of investments oriented towards the educational and other needs of children will help Shriram City to create a stronger bond with the customer.
Mr. Satyanarayana Korra
Customer name : Mr. Satyanarayana Korra
Location : Vijayawada
Mr. Satyanarayana Korra of Vijayawada first came to know about Shriram City's (Shriram City) SME loans from an acquaintance of his. The owner of a furniture manufacturing unit, Mr. Korra was on the lookout for a financing option that would meet the working capital requirements of his business and Shriram City fit the bill perfectly. So well in fact, that he is on his second loan from Shriram City.
As a manufacturer, he buys wood locally and supplies finished furniture like beds, dewans, and dining tables to various furniture showrooms. Mr. Korra has been in the furniture business for a decade, and he used to depend on local moneylenders and personal contacts for the financial needs of his business. The high cost involved meant that profits also went toward debt repayment. The extensive processing time and requirements, coupled with his limited knowledge prevented Mr. Korra from approaching banks for a loan.
Shriram City provided the answer he had been looking for and gave him loans that were speedily processed with minimal documentation. Now with the support of Shriram City's loan, he is able meet his unit's working capital needs and invest the surplus in business expansion plans. As a thoroughly satisfied customer of Shriram City, Mr. Korra ensured that his cousin, also a business owner, took an SME loan from Shriram City when the need arose. The future looks bright for Mr. Korra and his young family, and he is sure that he will turn only to Shriram City for his future financial needs.
Mr. Venkata Durga Sadhu
Customer name : Mr. Venkata Durga Sadhu
Mr. Venkata Durga Sadhu runs Sai General Stores, a provision store in Vijayawada, with the help of his wife. He has been in this line of business for the last 15 years and his biggest challenge was finding the funds required to replenish and maintain stocks of both perishable and imperishable goods.
Approaching Shriram City Union Finance (Shriram City) for the financial needs of his business was the most natural course of action for Mr. Sadhu, as he had already availed of a personal loan and a two wheeler loan from Shriram City in the past. His existing home loan with a bank was also proving to be a stumbling block to getting loans from other banks and NBFCs. His experience at Shriram City was a welcome relief, as he was sanctioned a loan without having to provide any security.
The loan availed from Shriram City has helped Mr. Sadhu to improve and maintain his stock levels to meet customer demands. As a result, the sales of Sai General Stores have improved by 30 percent. If the needs of his business were to grow, Mr. Sadhu now has no doubts that Shriram City will be his lender of choice.
