By Bint Jobaida
My toddler squats her legs and does a little shimmy. She looks like she is doing a yoga pose and I can't help but join the fun. My eight year old runs around like she's on fire, looking for a pool of water to dive in. She says, "You're the best mom" and "I love you" like she is saying hello. My eleven year old is a wise little owl who likes to write poetry at night. I look at her and wonder, What will she be when she grows up? I notice these things because I'm on leave from my full-time job at a small liberal arts college. I love tuning into my kids, especially as they, and I, get older, but the decision to stay home this year was not an easy one. I feel torn, like most of my peers, by the sa'i (a ritual passage or walking) between home and work.
When I was going back and forth between work and home last year, I turned to the story of Hajar for guidance on how to balance the demands of motherhood with the challenges of working to provide sustenance. At the core of Hajar's story is a model of working hard, staying close to one's child(ren) and trusting in God's bounty. Hajar's work of running between Safa and Marwa, or sa'i, is eventually rewarded with the spring of Zamzam appearing next to her son Ismail. Her story provides a hopeful narrative of motherhood leading to community and prophecy. Hajar shows us that the struggle of women who work and take care of their children is made possible by turning to God and asking Him for the resources that will sustain the mother, child and the community.
Hajar's Story
Hajar joined the household of Ibrahim and Sarah after they visited the King of Egypt. She was given as a gift to Sarah because God protected Sarah from the King's sexual advances by freezing his hands, making him fearful of her power. Ibrahim and Sarah had difficulty conceiving a child so Sarah permitted Ibrahim to marry Hajar in the hopes that he might have an heir. This led to the birth of Ismail, whose progeny would be Muhammad (sws). Soon after, Ibrahim was given a revelation from God to take Hajar and Ismail away from the household of Sarah.
Ibrahim takes Hajar to a desert where there appears to be no one and leaves her there with Ismail. You might wonder, as did Hajar, why Ibrahim would leave Hajar in the middle of the desert when she had just given birth to his son? This brings a turning point and a spiritual trial for Hajar, who must figure out why she is alone and what she must do in this barren land. She is confused by Ibrahim's decision to leave her and questions him, "Did Allah command you to do this?" to which he replies, "Yes." She then says, "Then certainly, He will not abandon us."
Ibrahim had a history of taking an unfamiliar path to illustrate his faith in Allah, even if it meant putting himself or his family in what appeared to be impossible circumstances. He repeatedly relies on Allah to fashion a protection between him and his loved ones and trusts that some divine providence will come forth from the uncertain circumstance. This is seen in the story of his struggle against the idol worshippers as well as later in his willingness to sacrifice Ismail. This also creates a similar pattern of faithfulness and willingness to submit in his wife and children. When Hajar hears that the command is from Allah for Ibrahim to leave her in this location, she feels at peace and accepts it.
Hajar's faith in Allah plays an important role in helping her survive the desert environment with a baby. When their provisions run out, Hajar begins to run back and forth between Safa and Marwa until the seventh pass, when a spring of water appears next to the baby. Some narrations say that Ismail, with the help of Angel Jibreel, kicks at the earth to discover the spring. The water draws birds and the birds attract a nearby caravan that decides to settle down near the spring. Soon, Ibrahim returns as well to live with Hajar and Ismail and to build the Ka'ba. This happy ending came as a result of Hajar's and Ibrahim's faith in Allah (swt).
Lessons from Hajar's Sa'i for Working Mothers
I would like to draw some lessons from Hajar's sa'i and her trust in Allah for the contemporary working mother. Hajar's story is compelling because she has to move away from her child in order to find sustenance for her child, but then is able to come and be with her child when the sustenance appears next to the child. Hajar's reality is the same as that of many working mothers today. Working mothers can go only so far as we feel comfortable leaving our children, but we find relief when we are with our children enjoying the provisions that Allah alone provides.
Hajar's story offers a lesson on how to move (apropos, since her name means migration) in this situation. First, she shows us that there will be times where the struggle for sustenance is borne by the mother alone and she can and will work hard to find sustenance for her children by making the sa'i between work and home. Second, Hajar reinforces the natural instincts of women to care for and be close to their children by performing the sa'i and then returning to the child. Third, Hajar's effort in running between Safa and Marwa were a necessary precursor to the wellspring eventually sprouting near the child. And maybe most importantly, the wellspring, which symbolizes Allah's bounty, produces a community that supports the child and the mother.
The Sa'i of the Single Mother
I have seen the lessons of Hajar in the case of my own mother who was a widow at the age of 28 with two children. She found herself in the United States alone without her parents or her siblings. My mom ran between two places, the US and Bangladesh, after my father passed away. She was uncertain about what to do. Should she live off the charity of her family or stay in the US and make a life for herself and her children as her husband and she had dreamed?
After making several sa'is between the two countries, she chose the place she thought would bring resources for her children. And she was right. She found herself strengthened by faith in God and a beautiful community to help raise her children in. Her faith grounded her in a time of crisis and she found helpers and fellow immigrants who gave her rides, taught her how to drive and helped her get on her own two feet. My mom's chosen career of a home childcare provider also allowed her to keep an eye on us and provide for our family. Eventually, my cousin joined her and helped her financially and helped my brother and I become self-sufficient. Hajar's lesson of working when you need to, staying close to your children and having faith resulted in my mom's greatest wellspring, her children's future success and the creation of a community.
The Sa'i of the New Mom
I also found comfort in Hajar's story when I had my third child in January 2016 and returned from maternity leave to work at a small college in a predominantly white, rural part of Northwest Pennsylvania. I had never been so far away from my family when I had my two previous children. I felt a bit like Hajar, left in the desert alone with my children. As a new mom, I felt a strong physical pull to be near my daughter and to nurse her and take care of her. Hajar's sa'i symbolically represents the internal and external pressures new working moms face. Their bodies are transitioning into a new place of providing sustenance for a baby, but then they are met with the demands of the workplace where they must also produce.
When I started the sa'i between work and home again, I felt Hajar's fear, distress and fatigue as I ran from work to home, stopping to nurse my baby in between sa'is from breasts that were not producing enough milk. So I decided to do the unthinkable, admit that I couldn't work full time while nursing. I asked for a leave of absence from work and focused on nursing myself and my daughter. And similar to Hajar, I found the spring of Zamzam appear next to my child, a signal that I could now rest and tend to her needs and to my own needs. When I was with my daughter, I felt a sense of peace and rightness with the world and a feeling of rida, contentment.
What happened next was amazingly similar to Hajar's story. My boss was very understanding and my colleagues stepped in to take care of my classes. I was able to negotiate returning to work half time in the next semester and a leave of absence the following school year. This would help me adjust to having a baby and make some important decisions about whether working full time was the best use of my time at this stage in my life. I was grateful to Hajar for modeling what it means to struggle with the difficulties of providing for one's children, while also staying close to them and having faith that God alone provides.
Hajar's Sa'i as a Lesson for Contemporary Mothers
I want it to be clear from these stories that all moms experience the sa'i, whether they stay home, work part-time or are the primary breadwinners of their families. This reflection is not about the question of whether to work or stay at home, but rather where your intention is when you choose to work. Is it to please your Creator and recognize that material and spiritual sustenance come from Allah alone? Or is it to make money and provide material comforts for you and your family? These are hard questions to ask ourselves, especially when we feel overburdened by the many demands placed on us.
Hajar's sa'i allows us to reflect on these questions and to see what she did when placed in a position of being the sole provider for her family. She did the work of going between safa and marwa, all the while praying to Allah (swt) to send His mercy to them. She realized that she must teach her children lessons of how to work, while also recognizing our Creator as the source of all things. If you follow Hajar's example, you transform your relationship to your Creator and to your children, which ultimately gives them a source of support that will never run dry.
I want to end with the reminder that Hajar is a model for both men and women, and the sa'i is a symbol of any struggle we face when we are looking for divine mercy. I hope that my reflections have helped in some way as you make your personal sa'i to be more connected to Allah (swt), the source of all sustenance. I pray that this Hajj and Eid are a source of reflection and learning for all of us as we experience, witness and remember the many sacrifices Ibrahim (s), Hajar (r) and Ismail (s) made for this ummah. Without their faith in what is possible when you rely on Allah (swt), Muhammad (sws) and his ummah would not be in existence today. May Allah (swt) make us among the followers of Hajar, Ibrahim and their descendants. Ameen.
Wow-very importance piece!! This part: "This reflection is not about the question of whether to work or stay at home, but rather where your intention is when you choose to work. Is it to please your Creator and recognize that material and spiritual sustenance come from Allah alone? Or is it to make money and provide material comforts for you and your family? These are hard questions to ask ourselves, especially when we feel overburdened by the many demands placed on us."

Q: Add Time values in Array Guys I have a question:
I have an app that is connected to an external device with bluetooth.  I read data ( for example Acceleration )  from this device and save in array. These data are a flow of data like:
36,-562,-839,36,-563,-839,35,-562,-841,36,-562,-842,36,-562,-843,36,-562,-843... ( this is the result of console.log)
What I wuold do, it is to add the variable time (the time is printed in second) for each three values of acc variable. Like:
Time + Acceleration
So the result should be:
1 (sec) : 36,-562,-839,
10 (sec) : 36,-563,-839,
20 (sec) : 35,-562,-841,
30 (sec) : 36,-562,-842,..
this is what I have:
47840 : -1,-565,-839,-1,-566,-839,0,-565,-839,...
47840 is the final time (the time when I press the stop button for the reading of data). The others data are the data about acceleration.
This is the code about this part.
constructor(props) {
this.state = {
time: null,
acc: [],
array_acc_sx: []}}

async setupNotifications1(device) {
const time = parseInt(
          Buffer.from(characteristic.value, "base64")
            .readUInt16LE(0)
            .toString(16),
          16
        );
const acc = [2, 4, 6].map(index => {
          const hex = Buffer.from(characteristic.value, "base64")
            .readInt16LE(index)
            .toString(16);
          return Number.parseInt(hex, 16);
        });
        const accUpdate_acc_sx = [...this.state.array_acc_sx, ...acc]
        this.setState({ array_acc_sx:  accUpdate_acc_sx})
}

 stopConnection(time, array_acc_sx) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      console.log("Inizio stopConnection");
      Actions.registerattivita({
        time: this.state.time,
        array_acc_sx: this.state.array_acc_sx,})
      resolve("Connessione Interrotta");
      reject("Connessione non interrotta.");
    });
  }
render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Text>Scarpa Sinistra: </Text>
        <Text>{"Time:" + this.state.time}</Text>
        <Text>{"Acc:" + this.state.acc.join(" ")}</Text>
      </View>
        <View>
          <TouchableOpacity
            style={[style.button, style.buttonOK]}
            onPress={() =>
              this.stopConnection(
                this.state.time,
                this.state.array_acc_sx
              )
            }
          >
            <Text style={style.buttonTesto}>Stop</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
      </View>
// ......

And in the page RegisterAttivita
    dataReceived(time,array_acc_sx){

        console.log("data acc_sx: " + this.props.time + this.props.array_acc_sx)
      }

How can I do?? Thank you

A: I have solved doing in this way:
const accUpdate_acc_sx = [...this.state.array_acc_sx, {time: this.state.time, acc: this.state.acc}]

My Favourite Kind of Rejection
June 8, 2015 / davidgoundry
Rom 8:28; "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
REJECTION!!! There are not many feelings that we have in our lives that hurt on such a deep level as the feeling of rejection. I would be surprised if there is a reader of this blog who has never experienced the sorrowful and lonely abandonment feeling that rejection produces. Whether it's as 'small' as being the last kid picked at school for a sport, or as soul wrenching as being rejected by a loved one or by one whom you admire. The pain of rejection, put simply, hurts.
Most of the rejection that we encounter does not have a positive outcome, but every so often, when the grains of sand in our journey's hour glass continue their flow, they reveal a greater purpose. Permit me to tell you such a story:
Earlier this year a ministry friend and I set off on what was planned to be a Vision Casting and Training trip for OneHope in the Balkans. The initial plan was to set off from Albania, head through Macedonia. We'd have our meetings in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia. We had planned our 'counter-clockwise' route through the Balkans and set off as planned. After leaving Albania, traveling through Macedonia, we arrived at our border control check point. After a little 'tense delay' on the Macedonian side we arrived at the Serbian border. They looked at our passports, looked at us, back at the passports and told us to pull over. What began next was two hours of, "you're not permitted to stay here" and, "but, we have the correct paperwork." Back and forth we went, only to end up being ejected from Serbia. They stamped our passports and sent us back to Macedonia. Carefully trying to discern the difference between 'Pushing our way into the country and pressing through this opposition,' we decided to travel back through Macedonia, go north into Kosovo and then try to enter Serbia again through a different border. The night was advancing in its hours and by the time we had arrived at the Kosovo-Serbian border it was already after midnight. The usual drill transpired. We were once again told to "pull over." Again, after an hour of deliberations, phone calls and conversations we were ejected. Confusion over the last border agent stamping our passports OUT of the country and never IN. Coupled with me answering "yes" to the question; "You were ejected once tonight already and you decided to try and come into Serbia via a different country and border?" meant that we were once again traveling back through Kosovo on our way back to Macedonia.
Leaving out a mountainous amount of details we then got 'stuck' between the borders of Kosovo and Macedonia. Neither country was willing to allow us and our materials access into their country. Fueled only by energy drinks and chocolate bars on what was becoming a 21-hour day, we badly needed someone to allow us through. After four or five rejections from several border control agents we were in great need of a reprieve. Finally Kosovo allowed us through on the condition we headed back to Albania. Knowing that we had to be in Croatia for meetings, we had no choice but to change our plan and now go 'clockwise' through the Balkans.
Leaving Albania and traveling via Montenegro we arrived at the southern border of Bosnia. Immediately we are told to "pull over." A directive we were only too familiar with. After another extended period of time that included our car being dismantled, we were finally given our passports back, entry stamps included. As we put our seat-belts on, put the keys in the ignition, we see the Bosnian border agent in our mirror, heading towards the car with his arms aloft (I can't lie, the temptation to just drive was enticing, but that is not honoring to either those in authority or the Lord.). We got back out of the car and asked him what he needed. What happened next was simply amazing. He pointed to the Biblical material we had for children in the car and said that he has a family and would like some copies. Quickly realizing that in a country that is approximately 0.00025% Evangelical Christian, the chances of this man having the story of Christ in his own language were slim to non-existent. We gladly gave him some copies and carried on our journey towards Croatia with a 'spring in our step.'
Suddenly we understood that all of the previous rejection that we had encountered over the previous days, led us to a border crossing that we never planned on passing through, to have a divine appointment with a Bosnian agent. Only eternity will truly reveal the souls that had their destiny changed due to that day.
I will accept all kinds of rejection that comes my way if the result is the turning of people's hearts towards Christ. For God does indeed work all things (including rejection) together for good, for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
This is my favourite kind of rejection….
**This was just the first half of the journey. There was more rejection waiting for us. But God brought us through those ones victoriously also**

Alonso vs Hamilton - Ding, ding. Seconds out, round two
Thread starter FB
Start date 28 February 2011
I read in an article in The Sun on-line the other day (don't laugh) that in the new book about Bernie (No Angel: the Secret Life of Bernie Ecclestone - available from all good book sellers) that Fernando asked Ron Dennis to under fuel Hamilton's car so he would run dry and (I think as we already knew) threatened that he would go to the FIA with incriminating e-mails unless he was made clear No.1.
As it was The Sun I didn't take much notice but this same story has now cropped up on ESPN.
http://en.espnf1.com/f1/motorsport/story/41944.html?CMP=OTC-RSS
You have to ask, given the talent Alonso has, why he felt the need resort to such tactics. Greater drivers than FA have gone head to head with their peers in the same team and taken the risk of winning or losing. I wonder what makes Alonso so insecure? Was RD's super close relationship with Hamilton so strong that Lewis was always going to be number 1 no matter how well Alonso drove?
S'pose I've got to buy the book now - looks like the trickle of information has worked, rats!
The book was written by a biographer, the titillating revelations are not necessarily true. I have to ask the question: How does he know Fernando made this request? (I had to fight all my instincts and urges to use an expletive when formulating that question).
Then I have to ask the question: Is this really relevant? As Fernando was already aware that his Championship aspirations were in danger. There was an urgent need for him to get the team to back his challenge, however there was no way McLaren could put all their eggs in that basket. Lewis had already shown that he was a Championship contender and capable of winning it. Fernando had no claim for the number one spot or any claim he had had been snuffed out by Lewis's early performances. Fernando's least likely motivation was insecurity, it was almost certainly necessity.
The animosity between Fernando and Lewis that journalists and some others keep trying to ferment doesn't exist. We have seen drivers come to blows, slag one another off, belittle one another, snipe and criticise each other at ever opportunity. But in the case of Lewis vs Fernando they have seldom had a bad word for one another.
I'll be getting the book, FB. You wait ages for a Bernie bio...and two come along at once.
How many people would have been present at this conversation? What is Bowers' source? That's what I'd like to know (though I'm sure he won't reveal it). Might not require too much of a stretch of the imagination, though. So...I've got a question mark there.
(off topic) What interests me more, is the story of what really happened at Interlagos that season.
Porceliamone
This cost me a tenner, but so L'Oreal.
Are you referring to the mysterious gear box 'outtage'...and sudden recovery (as if nothing was wrong at all) that basically wrecked Hamilton's championship chances at that race?

Here be dragons.
Anyone know why we spend hours speculating on the morality of the guys we, dare I say, idealise?
They are racers - a few have stretched the bounds too far (and we know who they are) - most just want to win against all odds, natural or artificial - there are few of them and they should all be applauded (unless, of course, they turn out to be moneyed crap, and we know who they are too!).

Come on, jen, this is a Formula One section of a motor racing forum. We need to have something to do until the end of the month.
Early Spring cleaning, perhaps. Cut your toe nails, after a long Winter with socks on; fill the freezer with the hope that we might have a decent Summer! Endless possibilities - just leave our heroes alone
I firmly believe that the drivers should be allowed, nee encouraged, to express their natural characters more, both inside the cockpit and out. I am sure that most supporters would react positvely if that happened.
To that end, by way of a small step in the right direction, I would propose an immediate banning of two things:
1. the wearing of those crisp, clean pseudo 'race suit' tops in the post-race press conferences, just so that the sponsors' logos look nice and shiny. How false! What's wrong with seeing how hard they've been working for the previous 90 minutes or so, like we used to? Lets see that sweat, oil and grime!
2. the wearing of a certain type of headgear item, originating from a north american game not unlike rounders, anywhere within the confines of a circuit for the duration of the race weekend. And especially indoors (such bad manners, wearing a hat indoors). Let them wear anything they want on the podium and around the paddock, from a 'Jackie Stewart' type corduroy cap, to a bandana with a skull & crossbones emblem on the front, to nothing at all.
Let's see their hair! (or lack thereof)
To be honest, even if true, the 'revelation' about Alonso's alleged sabotage attempt sounds relatively tame compared to some instances between drivers I can recall from past seasons, such as:
Nelson Piquet's fisticuffs with Eliseo Salazar at Hockenheim.
Ayrton Senna going into the motorhome to remonstrate with Eddie Irvine at Suzuka and ending up punching him, after Eddie had unlapped himself by passing Ayrton as he himself was stuck behind Hill.
Michael Schumacher storming down the pitlane to Coulthard's garage at Spa after crashing into the back of David in zero visibility. Only the mass of people in the pitlane managed to prevent him reaching his target.
Mansell and Piquet hated each other by all accounts. Didn't Nelson once refer to Nigel's wife as a 'dog'?
James Hunt, crashing into teammate Jochen Mass at Canada while trying to lap him, after extricating himself from his car stayed by the circuit edge to distract Mass every time he went past, not realising that Mass had braked to let him past, then punched the marshal who had tried to get him away from the trackside.
Let's see their hair!
While it would be nice to see more of a personal side to the drivers it simply isn't realistic with regards to the sponsors as they pay millions upon millions every year. I also doubt drivers would have time to get changed right after the race, and in fact I suspect they like no having to think about what they wear all the time.
Although I would agree with you on the point of drivers expressing their opinion more and not being corporate robots. The most annoying thing is when they go to a new track and not one driver has a bad word to say about it, although I seem to remember Webber saying something along the lines of "we're being paid by the circuits, so we can hardly fault it, can we?" and to be fair if I was being paid as much as they get to say a circuit looks great and its fun to drive then I bloomin' well would!
no-FIAt-please said:
I do seem to remember Lewis Hamilton describing Singapore turn 10 as "the worst corner in F1" and Mark Webber slating the Valencia Street Circuit though!
Picking up Chad's point in post 16 (I didn't want to copy the whole thing) the difference I see between drivers "having it out" and what Alonso was asking for is massive. Alonso was basically asking the team to sabotage Hamilton's car and his chances in the race. Cold, calculating and not the actions of a sportsman. Makes you wonder even more about the Singapore "incident".
At least at Hockenheim he was as honest as he could be (give the rules at the time) about wanting Massa to get out of his way.
Andyoak
After so many incidents where Fernando is the central character or beneficiary I find it impossible to believe in Mr Alonso's innocence, lack of knowledge or involvement... he has a phenomenal ability to stretch credibility to breaking point.

The coast has the unique ability to steal from you the worries and the irks that the days can bring. Having grown up on the coast, it solidified in me the longing for cool water and sun, the need to throw a fishing rod and turn on old Buffett records, but more than that, the value for freedom and rest. Capturing the essence of home and the coast was a real challenge but this candle was enough to calm my hurried heart and take me there.

Photo Essay: Judson's Historic Glass Studio
Los Angeles wasn't always the big sprawling metropolis it is now.
It wasn't always all "Los Angeles." (And it isn't even now - places like West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica aren't neighborhoods, they're separate municipalities.)
In the late 1800s, there was a neighboring village called Garvanza - named after the abundant garbanzo bean (aka the chickpea) - which ran along the Arroyo Seco, and spawned a community of artists and crafters. (Note: not just craftsmen, but craftswomen too.) In the days of Charles Lummis, in the now-neighborhood of Highland Park which was gobbled up by LA, Garvanza takes the credit for giving birth to the Arts & Crafts movement that spread into Pasadena and throughout Southern California.
At the heart of this movement is Judson Studios. Established in 1897, it is the oldest family-run art glass company in the U.S., housed in a historic building that was first built for the USC College of Fine Arts, and originally housed many of its students, artists who brought their art to the very facade of their home. Their handiwork is visible above doorways and underfoot, with hand-laid brick walkways.
Once USC centralized their campus, their school had already burned down once and been rebuilt...
...and had an annex added...
...so, seizing an opportunity to lead the Arroyo Craftsmen in a real movement...
...William Judson - painter, professor, school dean, Brit, and Methodist - moved in, and set up shop as a glass studio.
Preferring architectural glassworks over, say, ornamental blown glass...
...Judson Studios is best-known for its stained glass windows and domes.
Their handiwork is visible in various Frank Lloyd Wright projects including Hollyhock House and the Ennis House...
...and is no longer visible at the Tropicana casino in Vegas, whose domed ceiling has since been removed and stored.
Their work is also showcased at numerous religious institutions - churches, cathedrals, mausoleums, etc. - throughout the world.
It all happens in this tiny studio space, with just a handful of craftsmen...
...employing essentially the same techniques that were used in the 12th century.
Their one big modern invention is the glass cutter - essentially, a heavy duty X-acto knife that scores the glass into whatever sizes and shapes are needed.
Much of the glass used in their projects is housed internally...
...and painstakingly catalogued...
...and the final pieces that they like but were rejected for one reason or another get showcased in the windows for their own pleasure.
Glass faces stare up from backlit tables, floating in fragments, waiting to be bound by lead.
They are a product of fastidious tracing of an approved design on carbon paper...
...so that the final result will be to exact specifications.
Lead is still used to piece together the various glass fragments, despite its poisonous nature and availability of alternative cames, because of its ease of use and malleability.
That being said, when a stained glass window starts to fall apart, it's usually because the soft lead came gave way and put too much pressure on the glass. The glass itself can last hundreds of years.
Judson Studios takes on a number of restoration projects, some more difficult than rebuilding from scratch...
...but for its new projects, it does nearly everything, soup to nuts, inhouse, from firing up the kiln...
...to assembling the glass and cementing / sealing the flanges to be watertight...
...to painting.
Although some of the glass is used in its natural color state, many designs (particularly in liturgical and sacred settings) depict people, nature, and other figures that must be illustrated.
An enamel paint is used and, because the paint is essentially made of glass itself, it fuses to the glass, creating a seamless design...
...whether it's of sandaled feet...
...or upturned gazes.

This article is about the communication system using towers with pivoting shutters. For the now closed railway in Adelaide, Australia, see Semaphore railway line. For other uses, see Semaphore (disambiguation).
A semaphore telegraph is an early system of conveying information by means of visual signals, using towers with pivoting shutters, also known as blades or paddles. Information is encoded by the position of the mechanical elements; it is read when the shutter is in a fixed position. The most widely used system was invented in 1792 in France by Claude Chappe, and was popular in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries. Lines of relay towers with a semaphore rig at the top were built within line-of-sight of each other, at separations of 5–20 miles (8.0–32.2 km). Operators at each tower would watch the neighboring tower through a spyglass, and when the semaphore arms began to move spelling out a message, they would pass the message on to the next tower. This system was much faster than post riders for conveying a message over long distances, and also had cheaper long-term operating costs, once constructed. Semaphore lines were a precursor of the electrical telegraph, which would replace them half a century later, and would also be cheaper, faster, and more private. The line-of-sight distance between relay stations was limited by geography and weather, and prevented the optical telegraph from crossing wide expanses of water, unless a convenient island could be used for a relay station. Modern derivatives of the semaphore system include flag semaphore (a flag relay system) and the heliograph (optical telegraphy using mirror-directed sunlight reflections).
The word semaphore was coined in 1801 by the French inventor of the semaphore line itself, Claude Chappe. He composed it from the Greek elements σῆμα (sêma, "sign"); and from φορός (phorós, "carrying"), or φορά (phorá, "a carrying") from φέρειν (phérein, "to bear"). Chappe also coined the word tachygraph, meaning "fast writer". However, the French Army preferred to call Chappe's semaphore system the telegraph, meaning "far writer", which was coined by French statesman André François Miot de Mélito. The word semaphoric was first printed in English in 1808: "The newly constructed Semaphoric telegraphs", referring to the destruction of telegraphs in France. The word semaphore was first printed in English in 1816: "The improved Semaphore has been erected on the top of the Admiralty", referring to the installation of a simpler telegraph invented by Sir Home Popham.[citation needed] Semaphore telegraphs are also called "optical telegraphs", "shutter telegraph chains", "Chappe telegraphs" or "Napoleonic semaphore".
Optical telegraphy dates from ancient times, in the form of hydraulic telegraphs, torches (as used by ancient cultures since the discovery of fire) and smoke signals. Modern design of semaphores was first foreseen by the British polymath Robert Hooke, who gave a vivid and comprehensive outline of visual telegraphy to the Royal Society in a 1684 submission in which he outlined many practical details. The system (which was motivated by military concerns, following the recent Battle of Vienna in 1683) was never put into practice.
Sir Richard Lovell Edgeworth's proposed optical telegraph for use in Ireland. The rotational position of each one of the four indicaters represented a number 1-7 (0 being "rest"), forming a four-digit number. The number stood for a particular word in a codebook.
One of the first experiments of optical signalling was carried out by the Anglo-Irish landowner and inventor, Sir Richard Lovell Edgeworth in 1767. He placed a bet with his friend, the horse racing gambler Lord March, that he could transmit knowledge of the outcome of the race in just one hour. Using a network of signalling sections erected on high ground, the signal would be observed from one station to the next by means of a telescope. The signal itself consisted of a large pointer that could be placed into eight possible positions in 45 degree increments. A series of two such signals gave a total 64 code elements and a third signal took it up to 512. He returned to his idea in 1795, after hearing of Chappe's system.
Credit for the first successful optical telegraph goes to the French engineer Claude Chappe and his brothers in 1792, who succeeded in covering France with a network of 556 stations stretching a total distance of 4,800 kilometres (3,000 mi). Le système Chappe was used for military and national communications until the 1850s.
During 1790–1795, at the height of the French Revolution, France needed a swift and reliable communication system to thwart the war efforts of its enemies. France was surrounded by the forces of Britain, the Netherlands, Prussia, Austria, and Spain, the cities of Marseille and Lyon were in revolt, and the British Fleet held Toulon. The only advantage France held was the lack of cooperation between the allied forces due to their inadequate lines of communication. In the summer of 1790, the Chappe brothers set about devising a system of communication that would allow the central government to receive intelligence and to transmit orders in the shortest possible time. On 2 March 1791 at 11am, they sent the message "si vous réussissez, vous serez bientôt couverts de gloire" (If you succeed, you will soon bask in glory) between Brulon and Parce, a distance of 16 kilometres (9.9 mi). The first means used a combination of black and white panels, clocks, telescopes, and codebooks to send their message.
The Chappes carried out experiments during the next two years, and on two occasions their apparatus at Place de l'Étoile, Paris was destroyed by mobs who thought they were communicating with royalist forces. However, in the summer of 1792 Claude was appointed Ingénieur-Télégraphiste and charged with establishing a line of stations between Paris and Lille, a distance of 230 kilometres (about 143 miles). It was used to carry dispatches for the war between France and Austria. In 1794, it brought news of a French capture of Condé-sur-l'Escaut from the Austrians less than an hour after it occurred. The first symbol of a message to Lille would pass through 15 stations in only nine minutes. The speed of the line varied with the weather, but the line to Lille typically transferred 36 symbols, a complete message, in about 32 minutes. Another line of 50 stations was completed in 1798, covering 488 km between Paris and Strasbourg.
In this manner, each symbol could propagate down the line as quickly as operators could successfully copy it, with acknowledgement and flow control built into the protocol. A rate of 2-3 symbols per minute was typical.
From 1803 on, the French also used the 3-arm Depillon semaphore at coastal locations to provide warning of British incursions. Many national services adopted signaling systems different from the Chappe system. For example, the UK and Sweden adopted systems of shuttered panels (in contradiction to the Chappe brothers' contention that angled rods are more visible). In Spain, the engineer Agustín de Betancourt developed his own system which was adopted by that state. This system was considered by many experts in Europe better than Chappe's, even in France. In Ireland R.L. Edgeworth was to develop an optical telegraph based on a triangle pointer, measuring up to 16 feet in height. Following a number of years promoting his system, he was to get admiralty approval and engaged in its construction during 1803-4. The completed system ran from Dublin to Galway and was act as a rapid warning system in case of French invasion of the west coast of Ireland. Despite its success in operation, the receding threat of French invasion was to see the system disestablished in 1804.
In Ireland, Richard Lovell Edgeworth returned to his earlier work in 1794, and proposed a telegraph there to warn against an anticipated French invasion; however, the proposal was not implemented. Lord George Murray, stimulated by reports of the Chappe semaphore, proposed a system of visual telegraphy to the British Admiralty in 1795. He employed rectangular framework towers with six, five feet high octagonal shutters on horizontal axes that flipped between horizontal and vertical positions to signal.  The Rev. Mr Gamble also proposed two distinct five-element systems in 1795: one using five shutters, and one using five ten foot poles. The British Admiralty accepted Murray's system in September 1795, and the first system was the 15 site chain from London to Deal. Messages passed from London to Deal in about sixty seconds, and sixty-five sites were in use by 1808.
Chains of Murray's shutter telegraph stations were built along the following routes: London—Deal and Sheerness, London—Great Yarmouth and London—Portsmouth and Plymouth. The shutter stations were temporary wooden huts, and at the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars they were no longer necessary, and were closed down by the Admiralty in March 1816.
A replacement system was sought, and of the many ideas and devices put forward the Admiralty chose the simpler semaphore system invented by Sir Home Popham. A Popham semaphore was a single fixed vertical 30 foot pole, with two movable 8 foot arms attached to the pole by horizontal pivots at their ends, one arm at the top of the pole, and the other arm at the middle of the pole. The signals of the Popham semaphore were found to be much more visible than those of the Murray semaphore. Popham's 2-arm semaphore was modeled after the 3-arm Depillon French semaphore. An experimental semaphore line between the Admiralty and Chatham was installed in July 1816, and its success helped to confirm the choice.
Subsequently, the Admiralty decided to establish a permanent link to Portsmouth and built a chain of semaphore stations. Work started in December 1820 and the line was operational from 1822 until 1847, when the railway and electric telegraph provided a better means of communication. The semaphore line did not use the same locations as the shutter chain, but followed almost the same route with 15 stations - Admiralty (London), Chelsea Royal Hospital, Putney Heath, Coombe Warren, Coopers Hill, Chatley Heath, Pewley Hill, Bannicle Hill, Haste Hill (Haslemere), Holder Hill, (Midhurst), Beacon Hill, Compton Down, Camp Down, Lumps Fort (Southsea), and Portsmouth Dockyard. The semaphore tower at Chatley Heath, which replaced the Netley Heath station of the shutter telegraph, has been restored by Surrey County Council and is open to the public.
The Board of Port of Liverpool obtained a Private Act of Parliament to construct a chain of Popham optical semaphore stations from Liverpool—Holyhead in 1825. Many of the prominences on which the towers were built ('telegraph hills') are known as Telegraph Hill to this day. As in France the network required lavish amounts of money and manpower to operate and could only be justified as a defence need.
Once it had proved its success, the optical telegraph was imitated in many other countries, especially after it was used by Napoleon to coordinate his empire and army. In most of these countries, the postal authorities operated the semaphore lines.
In Portugal, the British forces fighting Napoleon in Portugal soon found that the Portuguese Army had already a very capable semaphore terrestrial system working since 1806, giving the Duke of Wellington a decisive advantage in intelligence. The innovative Portuguese telegraphs, designed by Francisco Ciera, a mathematician, were of 3 types: 3 shutters, 3 balls and 1 pointer/moveable arm (the first for longer distances, the other two for short) and with the advantage of all having only 6 significant positions. He also wrote the code book "Táboas Telegráphicas", with 1554 entries from 1 to 6666 (1 to 6, 11 to 16,... 61 to 66, 111 to 116,... etc.), the same for the 3 systems. Since early 1810 the network was operated by "Corpo Telegráfico", the first Portuguese military Signal Corps.
Spain was spanned by an extensive semaphore telegraph network in the 1840s and 1850s. The three main semaphore lines radiated from Madrid. The first ran north to Irun on the Atlantic coast at the French border. The second ran west to the Mediterranean, then north along the coast through Barcelona to the French border. The third ran south to Cadiz on the Atlantic coast. These lines served many other Spanish cities, including: Aranjuez, Badajoz, Burgos, Castellon, Ciudad Real, Córdoba, Cuenca, Gerona, Pamplona, San Sebastian, Seville, Tarancon, Taragona, Toledo, Valladolid, Valencia, Vitoria and Zaragoza.
In Canada, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent established the first semaphore line in North America. In operation by 1800, it ran between the city of Halifax and the town of Annapolis in Nova Scotia, and across the Bay of Fundy to Saint John and Fredericton in New Brunswick. In addition to providing information on approaching ships, the Duke used the system to relay military commands, especially as they related to troop discipline. The Duke had envisioned the line reaching as far as the British garrison at Quebec City; however, the many hills and coastal fog meant the towers needed to be placed relatively close together to ensure visibility. The required labour to build and continually man so many stations taxed the already stretched-thin British military and there is doubt the New Brunswick line was ever in operation. With the exception of the towers around Halifax harbour, the system was abandoned shortly after the Duke's departure in August 1800.
In 1801, the Danish post office installed a semaphore line across the Great Belt strait, Storebæltstelegrafen, between islands Funen and Zealand with stations at Nyborg on Funen, on the small island Sprogø in the middle of the strait, and at Korsør on Zealand. It was in use until 1865.
The Kingdom of Prussia began with a line 750 kilometres (470 mi) long between Berlin and Coblenz in 1833, and in Russia, Tsar Nicolas I inaugurated a line between Moscow and Warsaw of 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) length in 1833; it needed 220 stations manned by 1,320 operators.
The British military authorities began to consider installing a semaphore line in Malta in the early 1840s. Initially, it was planned that semaphore stations be established on the bell towers and domes of the island's churches, but the religious authorities rejected the proposal. Due to this, in 1848 new semaphore towers were constructed at Għargħur and Għaxaq on the main island, and another was built at Ta' Kenuna on Gozo. Further stations were established at the Governor's Palace, Selmun Palace and the Giordan Lighthouse. Each station was manned by the Royal Engineers.
In the United States the first optical telegraph was built by Jonathan Grout in 1804 but ceased operation in 1807. A 104 kilometres (65 mi) line connecting Martha's Vineyard with Boston, its purpose was to transmit news about shipping. An optical telegraph system linking Philadelphia and the mouth of the Delaware Bay was in place by 1809 and had a similar purpose; a second line to New York City was operational by 1834, when its Philadelphia terminus was moved to the tower of the Merchants Exchange. One of the principal hills in San Francisco, California is also named "Telegraph Hill", after the semaphore telegraph which was established there in 1849 to signal the arrival of ships into San Francisco Bay.
The semaphores were successful enough that Samuel Morse failed to sell the electrical telegraph to the French government; however, France finally committed to replace semaphores with electric telegraphs in 1846. Electric telegraphs are both more private and almost completely unaffected by weather; they also work at night. Many contemporaries predicted the failure of electric telegraphs because "they are so easy to cut."
In India Semaphore tower was introduced in 1810. A series of towers were built between Fort William, Kolkata to Chunar Fort near Varanasi.The towers in the plains were 75 - 80 feet tall and those in the hills were 40 - 50 feet tall, and were built at an interval of about 13 km. The last stationary semaphore link in regular service was in Sweden, connecting an island with a mainland telegraph line. It went out of service in 1880.
The Chappe telegraph appeared in contemporary fiction and comic strips. In "Mister Pencil" (1831), comic strip by Rodolphe Töpffer, a dog fallen on a Chappe telegraph's arm and its master attempting to help provoke an international crisis by involuntarily transmitting disturbing messages. In "Lucien Leuwen" (1834), Stendhal pictures a power struggle between Lucien Leuwen and the prefect M. de Séranville with the telegraph's director M. Lamorte. In Chapter 60 ("The Telegraph") of Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo (1844), the title character describes with fascination the semaphore line's moving arms. "I had at times seen rise at the end of a road, on a hillock and in the bright light of the sun, these black folding arms looking like the legs of an immense beetle." He later bribes a semaphore operator to relay a false message in order to manipulate the French financial market. Dumas also describes in details the functioning of a Chappe telegraph line. In Hector Malot's novel Romain Kalbris (1869), one of the characters, a girl named Dielette, describes her home in Paris as "...next to a church near which there was a clock tower. On top of the tower there were two large black arms, moving all day this way and that. [I was told later] that this was Saint-Eustache church and that these large black arms were a telegraph." The system was referenced in later works such as C. S. Forester's Hornblower and the Hotspur (1962), where the destruction of a French semaphore tower and a shore battery is a key plot point. A similar event is also the focus of the seventh episode of the television series. Interference with the French semaphore system is also an important plot element in Ramage's Signal by Dudley Pope. In the young adult fiction book Death Cloud by Andy Lane (2010), Mycroft Holmes tells 14-year-old Sherlock Holmes about semaphore stations, commenting about his school beforehand, saying "All the Latin a boy can cram into his skull, but nothing of practical use."
Fictional versions of the telegraph also appear in literature. In the alternative history novel, Lest Darkness Fall (1939), by L. Sprague de Camp, the protagonist, a twentieth century man who time travels into Dark Age Rome, develops a semaphore system to warn of invasion. To make it practical, he also invents the telescope. Pavane (1968), an alternate history novel by Keith Roberts, features a society where long distance communication is by a network of semaphores operated by the powerful Guild of Signallers. Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels (from The Fifth Elephant, 1999, onwards) describe a system of eight-shutter semaphore towers, known as Clacks, which occupy a similar role to that of the Internet. Using advanced clack coding, it is possible not only to send very fast telegrams, but also to encode pictures and send them long-distance, and shopping and banking via the clacks is also mentioned. In David Weber's Safehold series (2007), a worldwide semaphore system is used by the Church to help them maintain their dominion over the world. In Alastair Reynolds' Terminal World (2010), the distant-future terrain is criss-crossed with semaphore lines relaying information between the one remaining city, Spearpoint, outlying communities and the airborne community Swarm.

Q: Problem with private router in react app in React Router v6 Everything is working for the lower version but not working in the v6 version. I have gone through many articles related to the private route for v6 but not succeed.
In app.js file
<ProtectedRoute exact path="/account" component={Profile} />

In ProtectedRoute.js file
import React, { Fragment } from "react";
import { useSelector } from "react-redux";
import { Redirect, Route } from "react-router-dom";

const ProtectedRoute = ({ isAdmin, component: Component, ...rest }) => {
  const { loading, isAuthenticated, user } = useSelector((state) => state.user);

  return (
    <Fragment>
      {loading === false && (
        <Route
          {...rest}
          render={(props) => {
            if (isAuthenticated === false) {
              return <Redirect to="/login" />;
            }

            if (isAdmin === true && user.role !== "admin") {
              return <Redirect to="/login" />;
            }

            return <Component {...props} />;
          }}
        />
      )}
    </Fragment>
  );
};

export default ProtectedRoute;

A: They actually made it a lot easier.
if you look at the example on their doc you will see how they did it
Try something like this :
// ProtectedRoute
import React, { FC } from "react";
import { Navigate } from "react-router-dom";

const ProtectedRoute: FC = ({auth, children }) => {
  if (!auth) {
    return <Navigate to="/login" />;
  }
  return <div>{children}</div>;
};

export default ProtectedRoute;

Tyson didn't get any birthday gifts! Why do we forget to celebrate our dads?
Salt Bae is cooking up storm in his new New York eatery, and people less than enthused.
For the uninitiated, "Salt Bae" — aka Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe — swept the web when a video of him dramatically seasoning a giant piece of steak went viral. The ridiculousness of his methods spawned parodies and products and led to the internet and real life fame in just a year. Since the release of his original video, "Salt Bae" has opened up a steak house in New York, but it seems for some, his outlandish antics aren't flying.
Nusr-Et, the second American location of the chef's 13 dining spots, opened up with poor reviews. The New York Post's food critic Steve Cuozzo ripped the food calling the restaurant, "Public Rip-off No. 1," while GQ called out the eatery for serving "mundane" and "overcooked" burgers. While the professional critics are bad enough, "Salt Bae" also managed to turn the public (and their stomachs) all the way off in a video posted to his Instagram showing him slicing and dicing a slab of meat with precision — before topping it off with slices of American cheese and plain asparagus.
The unappetizing display of food had internet users going crazy, and not in a good way.
"Could you imagine dropping $500 on a meal just for him to stuff Kraft Singles in your steak? Roflmao," tweeted one viewer. It's definitely a no.
Other viewers likened the bloody, yet "captivating" meat to a scene out of the "Saw" horror films, and it's hard to disagree.
Maybe it's time for Salt Bae to switch to pepper, because his seasoning game looks like it needs work.

abc honored for 'misleading' 9/11 series
from upi: ABC received a "Falsie" award for its Sept. 11 miniseries that the Center for Media and Democracy chided as the most misleading U.S. show of the year.
The organization – described by as a "left-leaning watchdog group" by Daily Variety – chided ABC's "Path to 9/11" as "an opportunity to rewrite history" launched by conservative filmmakers that directly contradicted the Sept. 11 commission report it was supposedly drawn from.
The Falsies are presented to shows deemed to be subliminal PR spin distorting the facts.
The runner-up for the dubious honor last week was the National Association of Broadcast Communicators, the organization that distributed pre-packaged "video news releases" that appeared to be legitimate TV news reports.
from 9/11 blogger: Listen to Paul Thompson'
tell us why "Path To 9/11" was "misleading."

BREAKING: 3 killed as gunmen bomb Imo INEC headquarters
Saga Gist December 12, 2022
Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have attacked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, office in Owerri, Imo State.
It was learnt that the attack, which occurred on Monday morning, led to the death of at least three suspects.
The gunmen, who invaded the facility in large numbers, were reportedly repelled by officers of the Nigeria Police Force and other security operatives in the area.
According to sources, three of the hoodlums were killed, while one of them was captured alive.
When contacted the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Michael Abattam, promised to revert.


A British couple have taken the extraordinary step of selling their house to pay for their next family summer holiday. John and Jane Jamieson decided to put their three-bedroom semi-detached property on the market after researching the cost of a two-week break in Majorca during next year's school summer holidays.
The Hertfordshire native swiftly phoned the holiday company who had provided the lowest offer to see if there was anything further they could do for him.
Travel industry expert Sonny Beech described the Jamieson's family summer holiday issue as a common problem.
When asked if Brexit might provide some much needed relief for holidaying families, Mr Beech laughed so hard some snot emerged from his left nostril.

What's coming around the corner for the channel in the year ahead?
Leaving aside the usual suspects, this year's collection of technology predictions for 2017 see the emergence of some new entries to the list of tech to watch in the coming year.
Just about all of the industry analysts this year agree that artificial intelligence and machine learning will begin to dominate the enterprise technology market in the coming year.
And for good reason, machine learning and AI offer extraordinary opportunities to businesses and their technology partners.
Applied AI and advanced machine learning give rise to a spectrum of intelligent implementations, including physical devices, like robots and autonomous vehicles, as well as apps and services, such as virtual personal assistants and smart advisors.
"These implementations will be delivered as a new class of obviously intelligent apps and things as well as provide embedded intelligence for a wide range of mesh devices and existing software and service solutions," Gartner vice president, David Cearley, said.
Looking ahead, AI and machine learning is expected to play an increasingly central role in business technology portfolios over the next few years.
Adaptive security architecture is set to rise in importance in the coming year, with new architecture likely to provide solutions to the business world's fast-expanding attack surface.
"Established security technologies should be used as a baseline to secure Internet of Things platforms," Cearley added. "Monitoring user and entity behavior is a critical addition that is particularly needed in IoT scenarios.
While IT device hardware growth is generally flat or on the decline globally, with Gartner expecting to see a 5.3 per cent fall in devices spending by the end of the year, VR and AR equipment is on a sharp rise.
IDC claims that the VR/AR market will see a compound annual growth rate of 181.3 per cent between 2015 and 2020, to more than $US162 billion annually.
Already, big IT spenders such as the Department of Defence and Medibank are exploring the use of VR for things like training and treatment.
"The rise of new, less expensive hardware will put virtual and augmented reality technology within the grasp of a growing numbers of companies and individuals," IDC vice president, Devices & AR/VR, Tom Mainelli, said.
"But, as always, what people can do with that hardware will depend upon the applications and services that power it.
Open source software is not new. Nor is it visibly sweeping through the enterprise technology landscape like the IoT or hybrid cloud.
But it is becoming a core feature in much of the technology used in today's business and consumer segments.
With one of the world's largest and longest-lived production application makers, Microsoft, moving to make much of its software open, the industry is seeing a new renaissance for open source code.
Think of Google's Android operating system, based on the open source Linux kernel, or software containerisation project, Docker, which is an open source initiative in itself.
In fact, Docker highlights where the open source resurgence is set to take hold: cloud computing.
According to IDC, more than 40 per cent of heavy cloud users planned to spend money on open source and standards projects in 2016.
In the coming year, this figure is likely to rise, with fellow analyst firm, 451 Research, expecting the open stack market to reach $US2.4 billion by 2017.

The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society
The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society is located in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe at 6036 La Flecha. The society aims to preserve the historical heritage of the community. When you enter the La Flecha building, you see photographs of Rancho Santa Fe legends that include Bing Crosby, Douglas Fairbanks, Victor Mature and other big names from Hollywood that frequented the neighborhood. In the La Flecha house, the society maintains a historical library and has produced video tapes highlighting the history of the community. The society tries to preserve the three main architectural styles of homes in the Covenant: the Spanish Colonial Revival style inspired by the San Diego Exposition of 1915; the California Ranch style which was an outgrowth of the 19th century adobe house featuring a single story dwelling, low in profile and closely related to terraces and gardens and; the Midwestern Prairie style which originated with the Chicago work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
A walk through the village history shows pictures of various historic landmarks starting with the La Flecha house. This was the first residence designed by Lilian Rice in 1923. This dwelling was given to the society in 1988 by the Reitz family.
In 1989, the California State Historical Resources Commission approved the Covenant area as a designated State Historic Landmark. The village Inn was also designed by Lilian Rice and originally called La Morada. It continues as a present-day hotel with a renewed appreciation of its historic tradition¹.
