Resonant Swings
Let two persons sit on the two swings. Set one of the swings into motion. After a while, the second swing, initially at rest, begins to oscillate picking up speed during each oscillation. At the same time the first swing slows down and comes to rest. Then, it again begins to oscillate while the second swing gradually loses speed and comes to a halt. The cycle continues.
The phenomenon is due to resonance.
In this exhibit we have two swings suspended from a common rod. This is not unusual since most amusement parks have two or more swing suspended from a common support. But , what is unusual in the exhibit here is that, if you set one of the swings oscillating, the other swing also oscillates – without anyone pushing it. This does not happen in the usual amusement park swing. Why is it so ?
This is due to the manner in which the rod supporting the swings is held. The supporting rod in the amusement parks is fixed and rigid. However, in the exhibit here, the rod itself is suspended and hence, is free to move back and forth when one of the swings oscillates. The back and forth motion of the rod transfers the energy of motion of one swing to the other at rest. This sets the second swing into motion. As the second swing gains energy, its oscillations cover greater distances from its rest position. Meanwhile, the first swing gradually comes to rest. Now, the transfer of energy from the second swing to the first begins. This goes on until the second swing comes to rest. And, the cycle of transfer of energy between the two swings continues.
The scientific phenomenon behind the transfer of energy is the one known as Resonance. It is one of the most common phenomena occurring in nature. There is whole lot of diverse effects that resonance brings about. The colour of an object, sound produced by musical instruments; tall structures collapsing during earthquakes, sensing sound and light are some of them.
If a swing is pulled to one extreme and released without pushing, it makes a certain number of oscillations in a unit time, say one minute. This number is a constant for a given swing and is known as its natural frequency or Resonance frequency. The natural frequency of a swing depends on its length. Longer the swing, lower the natural frequency. Suppose we have more than one object with same resonance frequency. If we have a medium connecting those objects, the motion of one of them brings about the motion of the others. This is resonance. The transfer of energy then is complete and maximum. On the other hand, if we have objects at different natural frequencies, then the transfer of energy is less than maximum. That is the reason why a cavalry marching on a suspension bridge is asked to break steps. If all of them marched in unison and if the frequency of the steps matches with the natural frequency of the bridge, a calamity is not too far. With every step, the bridge executes an up-down motion with increasing amplitude that could lead to the collapse of the bridge itself. Sometimes resonance can be troublesome.

Don't Worry About Katy Perry at the Super Bowl — She'll Do Just Fine
By Jillian Mapes
Last weekend, Katy Perry appeared on ESPN's College GameDay looking not unlike Grimes circa Visions. Not that the bulk of ESPN's core demographic knows who Grimes is, but the broader message was there: Katy Perry will appear alongside alpha-male sports commentators and make college football picks, but she's gonna put her own little twist on it. In this particular case, that translated to a '90s-inspired Tumblr-kid look, complete with a tattoo necklace, bright red mini-buns, and a fuzzy pink sweater made to resemble a sports jersey (how "go team!" of her). At some point, she was gesticulating with a corn dog and an oversize pencil, all while rooting for Ole Miss and commenting on the Gators' abysmal chances ("I mean, I like Florida boys, but we're talking a game here," she said, affecting a Paula Deen-esque Southern drawl). It was convincing, even if she looked and sounded like an alien to unassuming college football fans. But more than that, it was entertaining.
The point I'm trying to make here is that Katy Perry has the ability to successfully take the shape of whatever container she's in — be it an Obama rally or an episode of CMT Crossroads — while still performing whatever version of herself she's selling this month. That's exactly what she's going to do this February during her Super Bowl Halftime Show, which was confirmed (via "inside sources") just last night. During her appearance on College GameDay, Perry stoked the rumors, but made it clear she wouldn't be paying the NFL to perform, as they had previously suggested. "We have had some conversations, and I would be honored, of course," she said. "But I have let them know that I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl. The ball is in their field."
Perry's appearance is not all that shocking, considering she was on the NFL's previously announced shortlist alongside Rihanna and Coldplay. Rihanna rightfully burned her bridges with the NFL when she told them to fuck off amidst the Ray Rice domestic abuse debacle, when they canceled her performance of "Run This Town," the season's official anthem. So to follow up last year's Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers trying to out-funk each other, the NFL went with a more feminine touch. As the most up-voted commenter on ESPN's news story on Perry's performance put it, "Praying for Janet Jackson part 2." The most up-voted response to this misogynistic comment? "Yeah, and this time with a young, full rack, not Janet's little floppers." Sigh. If there ever was a reminder of the Super Bowl's mass appeal…
Katy Perry has her work cut out of her, indeed. But as I said before, she has the keen ability to meet the basic expectations of whatever arena she's occupying. She's far from the most vocally talented singer, the most powerful entertainer, or the biggest personality. She's not the Best, Biggest, or Most of anything. Except adaptability, as evidenced by her career arc, from Warped Tour singer-songwriter tomboy to candy-coated sex symbol to pop's trying-too-hard meme queen, each phase featuring its own set of No. 1 hits. (Perry has nine No. 1 singles on the Hot 100 to date).
That said, Perry's current schtick will likely needed to be toned down for the Super Bowl audience. A description of Perry's Prismatic Tour is the stuff of standout Stefon sketches on SNL's "Weekend Update": the emoji turd balloons, the smiley-face and neon-seashell bras worn as tops, the homage to Broadway's Cats (look, I know your fans are called KatyCats, but come on). While sometimes hokey, all of that makes going to a Katy Perry show fun, but it's mostly just window dressing. The big appeal is in her hits — and that's enough to satisfy Super Bowl viewers.

Notice is hereby given that the Delaware River Basin Commission will hold an informal conference followed by a public hearing on Wednesday, April 3, 2002. The hearing will be part of the Commission's regular business meeting. The conference session and business meeting both are open to the public and will be held at the Commission offices at 25 State Police Drive, West Trenton, New Jersey.
The conference among the Commissioners and staff will begin at 9:30 a.m. Topics of discussion will include: updates on the Comprehensive Plan, a set of Water Quality Standards revisions under development by the Water Quality Advisory Committee, and proposed resolutions to protect existing water quality in the Lower Delaware River; a report of the Flow Management Technical Advisory Committee concerning extending or replacing the Experimental Augmented Conservation Release Program for the New York City Delaware Basin Reservoirs; a report on the PCB Expert Panel meeting of February 12, 2002; and a proposed resolution regarding additional point source discharge monitoring required to support development of a TMDL for PCBs in the Delaware Estuary.
The subjects of the public hearing to be held during the 1:00 p.m. business meeting include, in addition to the dockets listed below, a resolution revising and extending Docket No. D-77-20 CP (Revision 4) to continue the Augmented Conservation Release Program for the New York City Delaware Basin Reservoirs, and a resolution to issue Guidelines for Developing an Integrated Resource Plan under the Delaware River Basin Commission Ground Water Protected Area Regulations.
1. Holdover Project: Philadelphia Suburban Water Company D-98-11 CP. A project to withdraw up to 4.0 million gallons per day (mgd) from the East Branch Brandywine Creek for public water supply when streamflow exceeds 25 percent of the average daily flow and is also greater than 90 mgd for the Brandywine River at Chadds Ford. The applicant proposes to serve portions of Wallace, East Brandywine and West Brandywine Townships, all in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The intake will be situated on the east bank of the East Branch Brandywine Creek just south of Marshall Road in Wallace Township. On a yearly use basis, withdrawal is expected to average approximately 0.76 mgd. When available, the raw water will be conveyed for storage in a nearby abandoned quarry (known as Cornog Quarry) with an estimated storage capacity of approximately 100 mg.

In Vientiane you get a 'better' guesthouse for $15-$25 (Riverside, Vayakorn). You can eat a full meal, at the cheap end of the scale, at the riverfront stalls for $4 per person, or away from the main tourist/expat areas for $1-3 per person. Tuktuks round the main central area are roughly $1 per km, large beers $1-$1.25 in most places.
Luang Prabang has similar costs for everything except the better guesthouses and restaurant food in the central peninsular area - the main tourist area. In this area you can get a small fan room from $8 but a 'better' one will run you anything from $20-50. Outside of the main peninsular area (5-10 minutes walk back from Phousi hill) though you can get a 'better' guesthouse for $8-15, and food costs drop away significantly. There is a good local outdoor cooked food market down the side streets opposite Phousi hill where you can eat for $1-2.
We travelled and never spent more than $20/25 for decent accommodation with own bathroom, and that was $20 in LP where we negotiated the price down from $30 (with breakfast), and $25 in Vientiane to be one block from the river with breakfast (roll and egg).
Always bargain. There are always more rooms than beds, unless you hit Vientiane when an event is on.
Does your trip coincide with the summer festival?
The local food is cheaper and more enjoyable than most of the foreigner restaurants. Find a good food (not trinkets) night market and try lots of options and enjoy.

Q: How do I use 'weight' in a phrase so that it means 'increase the portion of something'? I wanted to suggest the team to increase the portion of something. e.g increase it from 10% to 70%.
and I want to find a phrase that has "weight" in it.
I have searched for weight in, weight on, put weight. but it seems to me that they are not what I mean.
Can anyone please help out? Many thanks

A: There are several weighty idioms that might be a little strained but not unreasonable here:

Throw your weight behind something (to move some heavy object)
Give more weight to something (make it more important)

To encourage the team to put in more effort:

Team, how about we throw 50% more weight behind this problem and get it done as soon as possible?

To encourage the team to make it a higher priority:

Team, let's give 50% more weight to this problem and get it done as soon as possible.

In either of these you could use a variable figure like "10 to 70 percent" ... but, personally, I think that weakens the point you're trying to make.

Q: Modified hand shake problem Question-A couple invites $n – 1$ other couples to dinner. once everyone arrives, each person shakes hands with everyone he doesn't know. Then, the host asks everyone how many hands they shook and each person replies with a different number. Assuming that everyone knows his or her own spouse, how many hands did the hostess shake?
This is a question of combinatorics I tried thinking logically about this and using multiplicative principal but couldn't solve it

A: You may get the answer from the following link- Classic Hand shake question. Now then, also if you didn't understand the answer then I might give a better explanation. We can easily see that there were in total of 2n members in the party inclusive the host couple. All 2n-1 people gave a different reply for the number of handshake. So, all answers from 0 to 2n-2 would show the number of handshake for different people (which are in total 2n-1). Now, take an assumption that if the husband doesn't know anyone then the wife will know her and vice versa. So, sum of handshake of each husband and wife would come out to be 2n-2. Now placing different values can cover all the constraints for the question. The first husband handshake 2n-2 people and his wife, 0 people. Then the next husband handshake 2n-1 people and his wife 1 person. All vales would be covered. But only in a single pair of husband and wife, both will shake hand with n-1 people((2n-2)/2). But this can only be possible if this pair of husband and wife is of the host. So, the host asked all other people and hence his own case would not be considered. So, the hostess shook hands with n-1 people. Hope my solution is clear enough for you. Please increase my reputation!!

Debugging Tool Left on OnePlus Phones, Enables Root Access
Author: Tom Spring
Phone maker OnePlus is being blasted for leaving a developer debugging app on its handsets allowing phones to be rooted by an attacker with physical access to the device.
UPDATE Chinese phone maker OnePlus is accused of leaving a debugging app on its phones capable of giving adversaries root access to the devices. The application in question is called EngineerMode and is made by Qualcomm.
An anonymous researcher who goes by the handle Elliot Alderson, a character in the TV drama Mr. Robot, discovered the tool that he said could act as a "backdoor" by adversaries to access data on devices.
In an interview with Threatpost, the researcher said he examined the latest firmware for the OnePlus 5 handset downloaded from the company's website. After that analysis, he determined the preinstalled EngineerMode app could allow root level control of devices running the firmware (oneplus_5_oxygenos_4.5.14). Additionally, the EngineerMode app could also be used by a hacker who was able to obtain physical access to the device.
Qualcomm declined to comment, only stating to Threatpost it was investigating the matter. However, sources familiar with the application said that the app is widely used on Android phones, but only supposed to be used by a phone maker's pre-development team and must be removed in advance of a device's sale. OnePlus mistakenly left this diagnostic app on the phone, they said.
Originally OnePlus, the Shenzhen, China-based smartphone manufacturer, did not return repeated email requests for comment for this article. However, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei commented via Twitter that he thanked the anonymous researcher and said his company would investigate.
Thanks for the heads up, we're looking into it.
— Carl Pei (@getpeid) November 13, 2017
Subsequently, OnePlus has released a statement Tuesday afternoon addressing security concerns:
"We received a lot of questions regarding an apk found in several devices, including our own, named EngineerMode, and we would like to explain what it is. EngineerMode is a diagnostic tool mainly used for factory production line functionality testing and after sales support.
We've seen several statements by community developers that are worried because this apk grants root privileges. While, it can enable adb root which provides privileges for adb commands, it will not let 3rd-party apps access full root privileges. Additionally, adb root is only accessible if USB debugging, which is off by default, is turned on, and any sort of root access would still require physical access to your device.
While we don't see this as a major security issue, we understand that users may still have concerns and therefore we will remove the adb root function from EngineerMode in an upcoming OTA."
OnePlus, a midmarket Android phone maker, was founded in 2013. In a 2015 report, OnePlus stated it has sold 1.5 million smartphones across 36 countries. It's unclear what the company's market share in North America is, but according to the company's website, it is launching its OnePlus 5T model phone Thursday at an event in Brooklyn, New York.
"If you have physical access to the device, you just have to plug the phone into the computer and send the intent," the anonymous researcher said. "You have ADB root access and you can do what you want. You can request things like 'pull /data/data/', which dumps all app data from the phone to an attacker."
ADB is shorthand for Android Debug Bridge, which is a tool for developers to work out bugs within their Android applications. It requires a connection between a PC and an Android device and allows a developer to use PC command lines to manipulate the device and apps.
Researchers at mobile app security firm NowSecure looked into the anonymous researcher's claims and independently confirmed the existence of the EngineerMode app with its own research.
"At this time, the (app) is most useful to an attacker with physical access to a OnePlus device or an owner looking to root their own device," according to a write-up of the backdoor posted Tuesday by the NowSecure Mobile Threat Research Team.
NowSecure researchers said that OnePlus created a customized version of the Android OS called OxygenOS and that the EngineerMode app is a diagnostic app developed by Qualcomm for pre-deployment device testing of the OxygenOS operating system.
"What seems especially careless is OnePlus leaving behind a system-signed .apk and a native library with a SHA256 hash of the password that was easily reversed," researchers wrote.
"With the password, the EngineerMode app enables a debugging mode that is generally only needed for development of the device and grants full root privileges on the device via a simple ADB command or potentially by installing an APK from the Play Store," NowSecure wrote.
"Using (a specific) shell command triggers the diagnostic mode (or backdoor) and grants future ADB sessions root access, even after the device is rebooted," researcher wrote.
According to NowSecure affected devices include OnePlus 3 (OxygenOS 4.5.1, build number ONEPLUS A3003_16_171012) and OnePlus 5 (OxygenOS 4.5.14, build number ONEPLUSA5000_23_171031).

The city center—which, until recently, was a brutalist wasteland—is now populated with Ace-like hotels, world-class dining, and nightlife that rages 'til sun-up. My favorite detail of all: Much of the city is cash-free. I didn't hit the ATM once on my recent four-day visit, sparing me loose change and withdrawal fees.
The classic stuff is still there, too: the royal palace, museums about Vikings and ABBA, and even an open-air reenactment museum with baking, pottery, wolverines, and traditional music.
But don't let my observation about the construction deter you: Sure, Stockholm is pristine, but it also has more grit than you'd expect (that's a good thing) from the cobbled old town of Gamla Stan to crisp, blustery winters on the archipelago. Stockholm has long been the top Scandinavian destination, and they're not looking to relinquish the crown any time soon.
If you're heading there yourself, here's what to do, where to stay, where to eat, and how to get there.
While Stockholm's goings on spread to all corners of the archipelago, you ought to stay near the center for easy access to it all. Public transit is a cinch, but so is walking. These four hotels, each 5 minutes on foot from the next, are your best bets for a convenient, comfortable stay.
The main critique of At Six is, in my opinion, its strongest selling point: It's all very dark—the hallways, the detailing in each ultra-cozy room, and even the sun-soaked lobby has a black and gray motif. This moody, subdued color scheme's actually a recipe for comfort—especially in a city with gloomy weather half the year. At Six feels like the center of the hipster world when you're there, thanks to the co-owned neighboring rooftop bar, Stockholm Under Stars, and the vinyl-spun living room lounge Hosoi. But don't get the wrong idea: It's not in the least bit pretentious, either. If you want your hotel to feel like it's ahead of the curve and on the pulse, At Six is your stop.
In the same vein of At Six, Berns has a LOT going on. My jaw was on the floor at first glance of Asiatiska, its double-decked-out dining room with chandeliers, velvet seats, and the best Chinese menu in town (as well as a killer breakfast and brunch, too). It all turns into one of the wildest party spots on weekend nights, but its rooms and suites feel a hundred miles away from the commotion, with their pop-color textiles and quiet balconies—some of which even have terraces, jacuzzis, and, if you're super fancy, a bathroom that converts into a sauna. There's even a clock tower suite, a two-floor apartment fixed inside of, yep, you guessed it, a clock tower. Berns is on its own planet, in a good way: It's above your expectations in every sense.
Of all your options in Stockholm, the Grand Hotel is, quite evidently, the grandest. Every inch of it is stately: Just get a glimpse of the Cadier Bar, the 18,000-bottle wine cellar, Veranda waterfront dining room, and the Micheln-starred Mathias Dahlgren restaurant. (Seriously, all that is under one super long, high roof.) With Bottega Veneta amenities, many rooms and suites offer harbor views, separate baths, plush outfits, and fresh flowers. This is your idyllic Scandinavian honeymoon crash pad… and the moment life peaks.
Fitting for a four-day weekend, Scandinavian Airlines offers numerous long weekend fares, with direct flights to Stockholm from Newark, Chicago, Boston, DC, Miami, LA, and San Francisco round trip from $499. (Ditto for the same starting cities to Copenhagen or Oslo.) Flights arrive in their destination on Thursday or Friday, and return Sunday or Monday.
Gander at a 17th-century Viking ship that capsized and was recovered some 300+ years later, then immerse yourself in exhibitions that showcase life in this era.
This open-air museum reenacts and encapsulates life in old-time Sweden. Costumed workers bake bread, blow glass, practice pottery, and make music. Get a glimpse of wildlife from all over the region, too. This one you can't miss—it's not as tacky as it sounds.
This museum is so energetic in how it shows the rise and run of ABBA, with the chance to sing karaoke or dance alongside ABBA holograms as you belt out your favorite tunes.
The Museum of Photography has rotating exhibits encompassing the frivolity of fashion and the perils of planet Earth. Don't miss the café upstairs—it's a notch above most museum nosheries.
Get a glimpse of life as a royal inside the official residency of the King. Tour the 18th- and 19th-century reception rooms, Museum of Antiquities, armory, and royal stables.
This park's as royal as you'd expect. Have a swim, a bike ride, or a relaxing picnic in this body of green.
There are showcases on past and current Nobel Prize winners, with rotating exhibits that add colorful cultural commentary to your Stockholm visit.
Catch a concert from the brass symphony orchestra or the Stockholm Country orchestra, among other visiting acts in this 19th-century music hall.
This is a unique way to learn about the city's history—from a bird's eye view.
The cobbled old town is as charming and cozy as you'd hoped—with a bunch of great restaurants and shops for your discovery.
Boutiques, trendy restaurants, bespoke barbershops… this neighborhood is the heartbeat of Stockholm's creative class.
Exquisite Italian fine dining in a renovated theater. Reserve sooner than later—it's the hottest ticket in town these days.
We'd be remiss not to highlight the best place for Fika. (If you didn't know, it's the Swedish tradition of a midday coffee break.) Pascal is the perfect spot for it, and for a croissant break too.
Nordic ingredients with top-tier execution. This is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or winter whiskey, inside the newly renovated Nordic Light Hotel.
Most items are grilled over charcoal and flames for a hearty, heartwarming menu that'll please every appetite. Check the calendar upstairs at Bernies & Mono, a lounge bar that evolves into a nightclub a few nights each week.
Have a drink in the garden of the Hotel Skeppsholmen, or make it a lunchtime destination for open-air fuel and A+ Nordic hospitality.
This is Stockholm's first Nikkei Kitchen, honoring Peruvian cuisine that employs Japanese recipes.
Sea bass, razor clams, crispy octopus… Café Nizza is a seafood favorite among locals. Book ahead.
Farm freshness, mid-century décor, and an open kitchen. Cozy, tasty, perfect.
This spot is worth visiting for its cocktails and wine selection alone, but dinner seals the deal: Dishes are inspired by the south of Europe, incorporating ingredients from the north.
Housing the restaurant Line Ten and the wine bar Hornstulls Bodega, Tjoget's corner of Södermalm might be the neighborhood's buzziest.
This cozy wine bar serves pours from small-batch vineyards.

My setup looks like this.
It's a pretty standard setup, I think, however nothing has gone right with the setup. I cannot access the web configurator to save my life. I figure that it has something to do with the orange status light that I am getting from the ethernet port attatched to my switch. I can't figure out what could possibly be wrong with the setup I am using. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been fightin with this goddamn thing for a week now.
Sorry about the double post, but I would like to point out that in the week that I have been having problems, I have been constantly surfing the forums, so if the only "help" you can give me is "search the forums" or direct me to the general information thread, I would rather not have it.
OK, lets start at the bottom.
To access the WEB GUI you need to have a link from the switch to the computer and from the switch to pfSense. Its common that each of these two links will have indicators on each end to show link status. So for these two links there should be 4 link status indicators "on". Its common (but not universal) that each end of a link will have a link status indicator which should be on and a link activity indicator which will blink to indicate traffic. In some cases the link status indicator will have different colours to indicate link speed (.e.g. orange for 10/100 or green for 1 gigabit). You could consult your computer manual or motherboard manual to discover the particular meaning of the orange indicator.
If any of the relevant 4 status indicators are off then you won't be able to communicate between pfSense and the computer and its likely because you have a wrong type of cable (cross over instead of straight through or vice versa) or broken cable or broken connector or broken NIC or the pfSense box isn't running or had a problem booting or hasn't been configured.
I am aware that they need to be connected together. This is the first MTU that I've had a problem (used untangle, endian, ipcop, etc) with. There are nothing wrong functionally with either of the NICs, using IF config they are both shown as active. The switch is a brand spakin new gigabit switch, I've used several different cables, so I'm certain it is not the cable that I am using. The status indicator for the NIC on the PFsense box that connects to the modem is green and shows activity. The status indicator for the NIC that connects to the switch is orange and shows activity. It's not a problem with the NIC, as I have switched the interfaces around and the one that is connected to the switch is always orange (limited connectivity, from what I can tell). The gigabit switch shows connectivity (gigabit in fact, as the NIC from pfsense to the switch , and for my main computer is gigabit), and the switch works wih other hardware, so I doubt that it's the switch. I can't even ping 192.168.1.1. The only thing I can ping is 192.168.1.199, which, oddly enough is the IP address of my main computer.
This is giving me waaaay to much trouble. I had chosen it because it was supposed to be relatively easy for the initial setup, but for me it has been anything but easy. It doesn't matter if it's installed or running from the livecd, problem is still the same.
where you replace zz3 by the name of your LAN interface. Then startup the ping on the other computer, specifying the address of the LAN interface. Limit the pings to a small number (say 2 or 3) Then on the pfsense console you should see a decoded trace of the traffic on the interface. If you can't make sense of the trace post an extract here.
When you start the ping the computer will likely send an ARP 'who has' request to find the MAC address of the interface with the IP address of the ping target. The pfSense box should send a response to say 'me' then the pings should appear.
This is kinda strange, but good. This morning, I started up my pfsense box, my laptop (connected to a different WAN) and my main computer without the monitor. I ran tcp dump and started watching the output of it, saw that it saw my mac address and it looked like it started pinging websites like crazy. I couldn't get it to stop pinging, so I turned on the monitor, and saw that my main rg was connected to the internet and my TOR proxy network was up and running. I really can't explain why this works all of a sudden other than I ran tcpdump and everything works now.
I recall another thread in which some was also having DHCP problems which mysteriously went away when they ran tcpdump. Normally the LAN interfaces run in non-promiscuous mode, that is they receive only frames destined for their MAC address, the broadcast MAC address and (possibly) a small number of multicast MAC addresses. tcpdump, when invoked without the -p option, turns on promiscuous mode which means the LAN interfaces receive frames destined for MAC address.
It you power down the pfSense system, power it up again, does it behave as expected? If not, does it come good if you start tcpdump with the -p option ( # tcpdump -p -i zz3)? If not, does it then come good if you run tcpdump without the -p option?
As far a I know, it's still runnng tcp dump. I haven't powered it down since I got it to work (I'm afraid that It wouldn't work again). I ran it without -p and it worked fine.
At any rate, my next task, after I get this working correctly, is figuring out how to use it as an HTTP proxy so I can browse the internet through my home connection and ssh tunnel through the firewall at work.
I can only get pfsense to work by using tcpdump (I just type tcpdump into shell and it works).
Is there any way that I can either get it to work without using tcpdump OR force tcpdump at startup so I don;t have to worry about it.
Another thing, after running fro about 4 hours, the speaker starts going haywire and beeps rapidly, any idea what that could be?
Might be worth starting a separate topic for that issue.
Something strange is happening. It shouldn't be necessary to run tcpdump to make it work.
Have you been changing the switch ports you have been using? I'll be interested to hear how things go when you power cycle it.
I haven't changed anything at all. I power cycled the unit earlier, and it would not function without running tcpdump. As soon as I began tcpdump, I had internet access, and if I stopped tcpdump, I lost it. Very very strange. I really don't care that it has to run tcpdump to function at this point, now I need to determine if there is a way that i can script pfsense to run tcpdump at startup.
That's strange, I just lost connectivity through my pfsense box, but I reran tcpdump and my connection magically returned. I'm really baffled by this problem.
I just put my LAN adaptor on promiscuous mode. That seems to have fixed it, but is there a way to make it persistantly promiscuous?
By my reckoning something is broken here. You said you have a switch so the only traffic coming out of the switch port to the pfSense box should have the destination MAC address of the pfSense nic or the broadcast MAC address and both those addresses should be claimed by the NIC in non-promiscuous mode.
What NICs do you have in the pfSense box?
They are both onboard, and I believe they are both realtek. I don;t have any documentation on this motherboard, and I can't find documentation on it anywhere. I bought 3 of these boxes on ebay for $100 a pop. They used to be POS systems, and I know that the motherboard that is in there retails for $250 by itself. I know the name of the manufacturer, the motherboard name, but NOWHERE is the documentation for the equipment.
Realtek seems to be commonly used in this sort of embedded application.
Could you post the output from the dmesg shell command? (In web GUI, Diagnostics->Command). That should help identify the NIC and associated PHY.

With the dramatic rise in the number of people interested in eco-friendly solutions, multiple industries have changed the way they conduct business, the materials they use, and the products they offer. Especially for those who spend a lot of time on the water, electric boats have become all the rage. Whether used for personal recreation or as part of a chartering company, these vessels allow people to enjoy what they love most without contributing to pollution.
Just as with gas-powered watercraft, electric boats come in a broad range of sizes, styles, and power. With so many possibilities, there is a perfect vessel for everyone. In fact, when looking at the new boats on the market today, they boast stunning designs. Apart from that, they offer cutting-edge technology, something everyone interested in buying one should understand to some degree.
One important thing to note is in addition to the incredible new electric-powered vessels you can purchase, experts can convert gas-powered watercraft to electric using state-of-the-art technology. For a better understanding of just how powerful these boats are, one achieved a record speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour. However, the actual speed of the watercraft depends on several factors including the boat's weight and the number and type of electric motors.
One primary difference between electric and conventional boats is the latter has limited power output. The reason is this vessel must dissipate heat through the casings. With an electric-powered vessel, the motor runs just slightly above ambient temperature. As a result, this type of watercraft can produce more power.
The recharging capability is another aspect of the technology used to build electric boats, which also varies. Thanks to both hybrid and electric-powered propulsion systems, the average vessel can cruise for up to eight hours when fully charged, eliminating the need to return to the dock for refueling. Even when electric power begins to diminish, recharging to 75 percent typically takes no more than seven hours for a single motor.
Whether buying new or converting your current gas-powered boat, an electric-powered vessel provides you a long list of benefits. For example, there is zero emission, making this an environmentally friendly choice. Also, the noise level diminishes dramatically. Especially if you have a charter business, your onboard guests can carry on conversations without raising their voices as they would when on a conventional gas-powered boat.
Electric boats do not generate any unpleasant smells, making rides far more enjoyable and safer for the planet. Along with a remote system interface, you never have to worry about high-voltage risk. In addition, there is no wait time for the engine rev to settle and you can go from zero to full torque instantaneously. The technology of this advanced watercraft includes remote diagnostics, allowing you to stay ahead of potential issues.
Something else to consider is that with the technology used in manufacturing electric boats, maintenance is a breeze. The best maker of electric-powered vessels and conversions uses innovative designs for enhanced maneuverability, stability, and safety. As a perfect example, the 4100 RHIB Herley boat comes fitted with 600mm OD Hypalon tubes. Not only does that make operating the boat easier but it also enhances both protection and safety.
As for the future of electric boats, advanced technology, incredible safety features, and all the comforts of home on many models lead experts to predict demand will increase substantially over the next 10 to 20 years.
As environment-friendly vessels with high durability, low maintenance, and operation affordability, electric boats surpass what conventional watercraft offers. These boats are perfect for limited speed-control zones but also designed for both salt and freshwater bodies. As an incredible combination of high-end design, advanced technology, superior performance, easy handling, and excellent safety, it is easy to understand why many people now prefer electric boats.
If you have a standard gas-powered watercraft and want to enjoy the benefits offered by an electric boat, a reputable company can assist with conversion. For this, it begins with a new system design, followed by the work of a skilled engineering team to remove the existing engine or engines, as well as any necessary power systems.
If you do not want a full conversion to electric, you can go with a hybrid system, including an extremely efficient generator. However, if your goal is to convert entirely to an electric and solar system, the right company can help with that as well. In this case, experts replace the combustion engine with electric motors. Included with the system are power, energy storage, charging, generation, and even solar power.
While doing your part to reduce harmful pollution, you end up with an electric boat that operates smoothly and quietly. You will also bring down by up to 10 percent your operating costs. Regardless of the style of boat you want or the type you already have, sailboat, yacht, fishing vessel, and so on, electric power is the way to go.


MICHAEL: Hi Margaret. Your work is really cool. I see some influences. What inspires you to paint? Who are your influences?
MARGARET: Hi Michael. Well, first off thank you for the compliment. In terms of my own unique painting style, I do have several influences. My paintings are very much about the paint itself, color, texture, paint application, along with strong drawing. I always go to galleries and museums to look at work done by artists I see as brilliant and get inspired. I love Picasso for his drawings, Gauguin and Bonnard and for their color, Matisse for his layout on the picture plane, DeKooning and Kandinsky for their gestural free brush strokes, Modigliani for his ability to reveal the soul, cubism for its varying perspectives ... and I could keep going. Personally, all of my paintings come from drawings and when I do a strong successful drawing, it usually inspires me to then do a painting from it.
MICHAEL: I totally see all of those influences in your work. I must say that I love the way you treat your backgrounds. It's almost as if the figures in the foreground spring to life from the abstracted backdrops. They somehow seem to be equally as important.
MARGARET: They are! Some people have tried to get me to get rid of my figures and just have my "backgrounds" be a painting, but I just can't. The essence of the figure, whether it is a mood or an emotion or a line or a shape or a gesture, is expressed through the background, the revealing of color and the journey of all the elements on the canvas ... color, light, line, form, paint application, medium and texture.
MICHAEL: Hmm. Interesting. Do you think this is true of us in our everyday lives? How much of us do our surroundings reveal?
MARGARET: I'm not sure how it translates to real life. I do know though, that as I became freer with my artwork and let go easily of moments within paintings that I felt initially were perfect, but ultimately affected the success of the painting, then my whole life freed up as well. There is always another way to do or see anything. And the creation of a painting, just like the creation of happy, peaceful and joyous moments in life come from a letting go and being open. At least for me that is how I approach life and how I approach each of my paintings as well.
MICHAEL: Ah yes ... letting go of the desire for perfection. What is perfection anyway? Especially when it comes to art. It's easy to spot excellence, but everything is so subjective. That's why even as a writer, I write for myself first.
MARGARET: I never really have thought of it as doing it FOR myself but rather FROM myself. It just comes out of me. And it isn't perfection that I am seeking but completeness. Completely felt and completely expressed.
MICHAEL: Were you born an artist or did you develop into one? Did you go to art school and are you from an artistic family?
MARGARET: I have been drawing for my entire life so I guess you could say I have a propensity for art. My mother had a first cousin, Larry Zox who was a famous American artist in the 60's and my mother herself is an interior decorator. So an artistic sensibility has always been with me. I went to a basic liberal arts college and only thought to pursue my art and study it in my late 20's when I had finished with college and was starting to make real choices for myself in life.
MICHAEL: Did you have any contact with Larry Zox? Who nurtured your talent? Many artists have someone who encourages them along the way.
MARGARET: We have a close family, so I did see and know Larry, but not as a mentor. I have been taking an advanced oil painting class for the past 24 years and for the past 12 years, I have been with Brian Rutenberg as my teacher. Brian is an accomplished artist who is a master colorist of abstract landscape paintings. He encouraged me when I first met him to go back and refine my drawings, which set the tone for the work I am currently doing. I have really evolved as a painter during my exposure to Brian and his insights.
MICHAEL: You live in my hometown, New York, which is a place I find totally inspiring ... even today. Does the city inspire you?
MARGARET: Absolutely! I have lived here my entire life, barring college years and a very short stint in Boston after college. I always felt privileged to grow up here having the richest culture at my back door. It is definitely a part of me and its superiority is the foundation from which I approach each painting and my work as a whole. I study art history, I attended wonderful schools, I am constantly exposed to masterful art, varying music, rich and eclectic food, significant architecture, exquisite gardens, a richly diverse population and culture ... Being a New Yorker, owning this city as yours cannot help but give you that edge that you hold with confidence in your back pocket. So yes indeed, New York inspires me for my artwork and is inherent in each piece.
MICHAEL: But there's nothing that I see in your work that says, "New York."
MARGARET: It is internal. I see and feel New York as magnificent and mine. I grew up here. My father has lived his entire life here. Both his parents lived their entire lives here. And, my own children are living here. With my art, I am confident in my freedom of expression that is influenced by different genres in art history as well the exposure to the richness that is New York. While I do not paint New York elements per se, each painting has been painted by me in my most natural and free state. And, I am a true part of this city. I feel it, know it and own it and bring its impressive nature to each individual painting and the embodiment of all my work.
MICHAEL: A lot of art people think NYC is the center of the art world. What do you think and what do you think about the art world in general?
MARGARET: I think that New York is a major area in the art world and probably its center. Certainly other cities value their art, but to be recognized in New York is the ultimate coup. The art world is unfortunately too tight and exclusive still. Talent is important, but clout is more. It is a business where many hard working and talented individuals get overlooked because they don't have the needed stigmas to shine. It is too bad, but as with the world today, there are enough opportunities for exposure that perhaps prestige may not be needed ultimately and certainly not solely. The art world is very big now, but so is accessibility to it.
MICHAEL: I know so many super talented artists all over the world, most of whom get little or no recognition. I try to help in my own way. Being an artist is not for the faint of heart. How do you deal?
MARGARET: Just believe in yourself and your art. It is what makes my heart sing so I can't stop. Since happiness is the ultimate goal in life, that is how I deal. I am doing just what makes me happy.
MICHAEL: I could go on, but this is a great way to end our chat. Thanks Margaret.
MARGARET: OK! I am looking forward to seeing it. I hope this has been good for you as well. I just spoke extemporaneously so it is like one of my paintings. I just expunged!

I've been a Merkt's guy for a while. Sharp Cheddar. Sure, I'll eat the Pub Cheese from Trader Joe's. Or if a tub of Kaukauna shows up for a party or get together...I'll slather healthy amounts of it on crackers, pita chips, tortilla chips or what-have-yous. But it was always Merkt's that I came back to.
They serve the King of Clubs in their bar up at the Cheese Castle - which turns out to be about 10 minutes north of where we normally get off the expressway for our stops in Wisconsin. 10 minutes seems like a worthy detour - just to get some high quality curds and now this tub of greatness.

Austen and the Anthropocene
Kent Linthicum
Posted on January 23, 2018 by Kent Linthicum
"Jane Austen Populaire 3" (2016) by Eymery. Wikimedia Commons.
Modern adaptations of Jane Austen's works rarely emphasize climate change. The intrigues of Austen's protagonists are capacious enough to accommodate murder mysteries, high school dramas, and even zombies. Yet climate fiction, or "cli-fi," has yet to re-imagine Longbourn, Mansfield Park, or Donwell Abbey. While those adaptations would be welcome, they may not be necessary, as Austen's works might already show the traces of the human modification of climate. Austen's fictions and, more broadly, works of British literature from the long eighteenth century come from a significant moment in history: the start of the Anthropocene.
Since at least the early twentieth century, scientists and scholars have noted the increasing ways humanity has altered the environment. In 2002, Dutch atmospheric chemist Paul J. Crutzen argued,
It seems appropriate to assign the term 'Anthropocene' to the present, in many ways human-dominated, geological epoch, supplementing the Holocene — the warm period of the past 10–12 millennia. The Anthropocene could be said to have started in the latter part of the eighteenth century, when analyses of air trapped in polar ice showed the beginning of growing global concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane. This date also happens to coincide with James Watt's design of the steam engine in 1784. [1]
Crutzen is not the first scholar to call for a geologic period defined by human activity. He is not even the first person to coin the term "Anthropocene." But Crutzen's call galvanized scholars and the public. Now a piece of geologic jargon is a growing field of study across disciplines and even has entered the public sphere, earning attention from The Economist, The Guardian (twice), and The New York Times.
The dating of the Anthropocene (i.e., when this new epoch begins) is a point of disagreement among scientists, social scientists, and historians. Crutzen argues that 1784 should be considered the inception of the epoch. Simon L. Lewis and Mark A. Maslin argue that the beginning of the Columbian Exchange, in the 1600s, should mark the start of the Anthropocene [2]. Recently, Colin N. Waters and his colleagues have argued the starting date for the Anthropocene should be in the mid-twentieth century because of the dramatic evidence of humanity's effects on the environment, such as a radical increase in carbon emissions and the traces of nuclear weapons use [4]. Unsurprisingly, the dating of the Anthropocene is a political act: who is to blame for the widening gyre of climate change? [5]. Is the developed world to blame? The West? The United States of America? The wealthy? Those question are significant, but for The 18th-Century Common let us focus one suggestion put forward by Christophe Bonneuil and Jean-Baptiste Fressoz in The Shock of the Anthropocene (2016). These authors wryly note that the Anthropocene might be better labeled the "Anglocene," given that the United Kingdom and the United States together produced more carbon dioxide than the rest of the world combined before the twentieth century (116) [6]. The United Kingdom, and England specifically, are a significant locus for the Industrial Revolution and therefore carbon dioxide production. As E. A. Wrigley shows, the English and Welsh consumption of energy, especially coal, increased rapidly from the mid-seventeenth century until the mid-nineteenth century [7]. The advent of steam engines, thanks to efforts of engineers like Thomas Newcomen and James Watt, help drive this widening hunger for coal.
An Atmospheric Engine from A Course of Experimental Philosophy (1734) by John Theophilus Desaguliers, vol. 2, Plate 37. Wikimedia Commons.
The Newcomen atmospheric engine was one of the first successful steam engines. Invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712, the engine was both simple and complex. Water was heated with coal to create steam. The steam would rise, entering the chamber under the piston and pushing the piston up. Then the steam was cooled rapidly, creating a partial vacuum, causing the atmospheric pressure to push the piston down. The Newcomen engine was primarily deployed to pump water out of mines although it was used in a few other industrial and civic applications. At coal mines the Newcomen engine facilitated a positive feedback loop: miners could mine coal to fuel the engine, which allowed them to drain inaccessible areas of the mine, which allowed them to mine coal to fuel the engine, and so on. Coal became self-propagating as burning coal allowed the mines to extract more coal. And even though the Newcomen engine was quite inefficient, the collieries used coal they would otherwise be unable to sell. The Newcomen engine helped make coal even more accessible to both miners and consumers.
Extracting the coal was not enough though; it needed to be moved to the consumer. Coal was transported by roads, then ships, then canals, then railroads. Turnpikes made it easier to transport coal overland, ultimately to rivers or the coast. Ships moved coal from the north of England towards the south, although threats from foreign navies and privateers made overland transport more attractive. Some of the first canals were built to facilitate the movement of coal, like the Sankey Canal, which connected collieries in St Helens with the River Mersey and thus manufacturers in Lancashire. In some cases the infrastructure started at the pit mouth and extended out, like the first railroads. This is not to suggest that all infrastructure served coal, other commodities and people also drove these innovations. Eventually though infrastructure, especially the railroad like its progenitor the Newcomen engine, became inextricably linked to coal.
"Viaduct across the Sankey Valley" (1831) by Thomas Talbot Bury. Wikimedia Commons.
At the same time, manufacturers were beginning to adopt new mechanical modes of production. Famously, Richard Arkwright helped create a new system of water- then steam-powered textile manufacturing. James Watt's improvements upon Newcomen's engine, specifically adding a separate condenser, greatly improved efficiency. These revolutions in industry do not indicate the embeddedness of coal in British society though; Newcomen and Watt merely found a new way to utilize a fuel that was already in widespread circulation. Due to a perceived wood scarcity in the Early Modern period, inhabitants of London began burning coal to heat their homes (Cavert 18-22) [8]. Additionally, even though most coal use was domestic in the Early Modern period, it was burned for a range of industrial applications: iron, salt, glass, bricks, pottery, beer. Coal was important enough that as the British fought in the War of Spanish succession, Queen Anne articulated only two significant policy positions for the new session of Parliament in November 1703: a further recruitment of sailors for the Royal Navy and a reduction in the price of coal to keep London from experiencing unrest (Cavert 143). Coal was increasingly integrated into the British economy throughout the long eighteenth century.
Coal does not seem to play a large role in any of Austen's works, although I would suggest the fossil fuel is like Sir Bertram's plantation and its slaves in Antigua: unseen but still significant. Coal does make a brief appearance in Mansfield Park (1814). Late in the novel, when Fanny has been sent back to her parents, she is welcomed by Mrs. Price, who understandably wants to make her daughter comfortable after her long journey,
"Dear me!" continued the anxious mother, "what a sad fire we have got, and I dare say you are both starved with cold. Draw your chair nearer, my dear. I cannot think what Rebecca has been about. I am sure I told her to bring some coals half an hour ago. Susan, you should have taken care of the fire." (Austen 257) [9]
Mrs. Price's request for coal is innocuous: the fire is low and needs more fuel. But Austen does not often mention what is being burned in the fireplaces her protagonists gather around. Her acknowledgement of coal here is telling. The mention of coal is likely not to highlight that the Prices are using coal. Coal was burned at all social strata. The wealthy just burned more coal, burned less noxious coal, and burned other fuels too (Cavert 26-27). Rather, Austen likely is drawing the reader's attention to the fact that the Price's daughters have to attend to the fire, rather than the servants at Mansfield Park, and that the daughters have failed in that task, again unlike the mostly unseen servants. In twenty-first century terms, Mrs. Price is telling her daughters to turn the thermostat up now that company is over. This moment is one of Fanny's many significant interactions with fire throughout the novel. The warmth of a fire or the lack thereof is a metonym for her feelings of comfort: the excitement of planning the Lover's Vows in a cozy fire-warmed room (Austen 101), the sadness of being denied a fire in her room by Mrs. Norris (106), the joy of being granted a fire by Sir Bertram (202), and ultimately sitting without a fire in Portsmouth (270). Her relationship to warmth, fuel, and heat—an aesthetic motif which coveys her social desires—is predicated on a developing carbon infrastructure, an infrastructure that was already obscured because of how commonplace it was.
"'Am I to understand' said Sir Thomas, 'that you mean to refuse Mr. Crawford?'" (1908) by C. E. Brock. Wikimedia Commons.
Jane Austen's works ultimately are not climate fiction. Her novels and the works of other British writers in the long eighteenth century though do merit examination as existing among the first texts of the Anthropocene or proto-Anthropocene. Those works are the product of British cultures which were being transformed by the expansion of coal usage. Concurrently, these British cultures were impelling and impeding the expansion of coal use: driving miners deeper into the ground while also decrying the costs to the environment and people. The ultimate definition of the Anthropocene will likely rest with future geologists and stratigraphers. The evidence for an Anthropocene that begins in the middle of the twentieth century is fairly persuasive. Although, as Matt Edgeworth and his colleagues argue, selecting a single moment of time for the inception of the Anthropocene is difficult due to the ways that sediments are deposited, shifted, and altered over time through geologic and anthropomorphic forces [10]. But in Jane Austen's world, England and zones connected to England through political, military, or commercial reach were already dependent on fossil fuel use. Now is the time to re-evaluate the ways eighteenth-century cultures and peoples acknowledged or ignored this energy transition, the promethean steps of a species-cum-geologic-force.

Everybody (Backstreet's Back) by Backstreet Boys.
This isn't my favourite BSB song (that'd be Drowning) but it's by far my favourite BSB video. It's just so much fun, and it was such a well-done and popular video at the time it was released (1997, fellow ancient ones, 14 years ago) - considering that the record label didn't want to go with the concept at ALL. The lads fought for it, pumped their own money into it, and it ultimately became one of their most popular videos.
As you are all (probably) aware, Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block have joined forces to go on a worldwide tour together as NKOTBSB (which is very confusing to my wee brain - it keeps alternating between 'New Kids on the Backstreet Boys' and 'New Kids on the Block Street Boys'). You can get all date info on the official site, http://www.nkotbsb.com. If I was a dog right now, I'd be weeing with excitement.
NKOTBSB UK & EU TOUR 2012 from New Kids on the Block on Vimeo.
Went to the DC concert this last summer--OH MY GOD! One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Both groups put their ALL into it. I wasn't a NKOTB fan before but I am now, and of course Backstreet was great. Nick looks so good, acts so crazy, has SO much energy now that he is fit! You'll love it.


Peripheral arterial disease is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the head, organs, and limbs. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrous tissue, and other substances in the blood.
The SeniorHealth experts say that PAD often affects the arteries in the legs, but it can also affect the arteries that carry blood from your heart to the head, arms, kidneys, and stomach.
The most common cause: atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque in the arteries. The exact cause of atherosclerosis isn't known. The disease may start if certain factors damage the inner layers of the arteries. These factors include: smoking; high amounts of certain fats and cholesterol in the blood; high blood pressure; high amounts of sugar in the blood due to insulin resistance or diabetes.
The conditions affects millions of people in the United States and is more common in African Americans than any other racial or ethnic group.
The risk of PAD increases four times, the SeniorHealth experts say, if you smoke or have smoked. On average, they say, people who smoke and develop PAD do so about ten years earlier than those who don't smoke.
Quitting smoking slows the progress of P.A.D. People who smoke and people who have diabetes are at highest risk for P.A.D. complications such as gangrene (tissue death) in the leg from decreased blood flow.
Taking action to control your risk factors can help prevent or delay PAD . and its complications. Know your family history of health problems related to PAD. If you or someone in your family has the disease, be sure to tell your doctor.
If you smoke, quit. Talk with your doctor about programs and products that can help you quit smoking. You can also call a smoking quitline. The National Cancer Institute's Smoking Quitline at (877) 44U-QUIT or (877) 448-7848 is available between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. You can also call (800) QUIT-NOW or (800) 784-8669 to be connected with free resources about quitting and counseling information in your state.
Eat a heart-healthy diet. Look for foods that are low in total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and salt.
Get regular exercise and physical activity. Be sure to talk with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
Be screened for PAD. A simple office test, called an ankle-brachial index or ABI, can help determine whether you have PAD.
Lose weight if you're overweight or obese. Work with your doctor to create a reasonable weight-loss plan.
These lifestyle changes can reduce your risk for PAD. They can also help prevent and control conditions that can be associated with PAD, including coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and stroke.

Q: SwiftUI subviews in forms I want to understand if its possible to essentially have a form within a form in SwiftUI to help with code abstraction. I'll give a simple example below, so say we had the simplest form ever
Setup
struct TestForm: View {
    @State var title: String = ""
    @State var description: String = ""

    var body: some View {
        Form {
            Section {
                TextField("Name", text: $title)
                TextField("Description", text: $description)
            }
        }
    }
}

Essentially that will look like this
Adding a new form
Now I want to add a new subform, but I don't want its logic to convolute the main forms view. Here you can see i've added SubForm as a new view and all its dependencies (ignore the state variables, they're just there to make sure swift doesn't complain. In reality the subform can link to any state it wants to)
struct TestForm: View {
    @State var title: String = ""
    @State var description: String = ""
    @State var option: Int = 0

    func SubForm() -> some View {
        VStack {
            TextField("SubForm Name", text: $title)
            Picker(selection: $option, label: Text("Question Type")) {
                ForEach(Question.PayloadType.allCases, id: \.self) {
                    Text($0.rawValue)
                }
            }
        }
    }

    var body: some View {
        Form {
            Section {
                TextField("Name", text: $title)
                TextField("Description", text: $description)
            }

            SubForm()
        }
    }

    enum FormPicker: String, Codable, CaseIterable {
        case firstOption = "First Option"
        case secondOption = "Second Option"
    }
}

But now the form looks like this:

As you can see the Subform is essentially in one List Item. This actually causes usability issues with Navigation Links.
The obvious problem with this is that Form is essentially a List, and List's don't flatten VStacks or even other Forms (imagine that the subview was wrapped in a Form instead of the VStack it is).
However, I really would like to keep the styling that Form provides, but also want to do this logic grouping. The gold standard would look like this:

Can you recommend any other way of acheiving this abstraction, while maintaining a single usable Form?
Cheers in advance

A: Can you add the second form just as a new Section? Is this what you're looking for?
var body: some View {
        Form {
            Section {
                TextField("Name", text: $title)
                TextField("Description", text: $description)
            }

            Section {
                TextField("SubForm Name", text: $title)
                TextField("QuestionType", text: $description)
            }
        }
    }


The most common ants are the Black Garden Ants, which are very dark brown. The worker ants that tend to enter properties in search of food are 3 to 5mm in length.
All ants have the three divisions of the body (head, thorax and abdomen) clearly separated by very thin waists. They also have a sharp join in their antennae.
Following the trail of workers back to the nest is the most successful way of finding the source of the infestation.
Seeking and destruction of the nest. Sweet gel baits, that are poisonous to the ants, are carried back by the workers to the nest to feed the queen.
