While cleaning out her aunt Genevieve's apartment in New Hampshire more than a decade ago, Saundra Skiesgelas found an old military decoration that sparked her curiosity.
Skiesgelas couldn't bring herself to toss the medal – which turned out to be a Purple Heart belonging to Genevieve Guidi's first husband. Skiesgelas set about trying to track down the descendants of its owner, Army Sgt. James Hanlon of Boston, who was killed in World War II. He died in combat during Operation Torch in Algeria in 1942 at age 35 and was awarded the Purple Heart, a decoration for those hurt or killed while serving.
Now, after 11 years of searching and almost 72 years since his passing, Hanlon's family took possession of the medal in a Sunday ceremony in Maine. Two of his nieces, Patricia Weeks of Gorham and Cynthia Mowles of Saco, received the medal in Harrison.

Why does archaeology need ARIADNE?
In their research, archaeologists examine huge quantities of objects, some of which have already been discovered by others and are kept in museums and archives, but many are newly found in excavations. The "treasures" archaeologists discover usually have little or no monetary value – of course with few notable exceptions – as their value is in the knowledge they bring about our history. Archaeology interprets the remains discovered in excavations, looks at their relationships and infers new information about the human past. An archaeological excavation, therefore, produces a large number of documents that report in the most detailed way what every layer of excavation contained and how finds and other remains relate to each other.
Such documents consist of texts, (i.e. notes written by the researchers to describe what was found); images and drawings of the relevant appearance of the excavation at each stage of its execution; inventories of what was found in each layer; and much more, for example plans of the location (the archaeological site) showing where the various remains were found within the same site, for example an ancient village. An archaeological investigation thus turns the remains of the past into a complex series of descriptions, in a way that resembles what we usually do when we take photos and or notes in a diary during a holiday to convey our experience to friends and relatives who stayed home, as well as to revive our memories of the vacation.
Every archaeological investigation starts with a research question that is resolved, at least in part, by what is discovered during the research activity. Sometimes the question is simply "what do we have here?": this happens when construction work must be carried out, for example the construction of a motorway, a new railway or a new house, and it is necessary to ascertain that no important information is destroyed by the works. In most countries, the result is an unpublished fieldwork report, which is often held in local authority offices and is difficult to find.
In conclusion, both planned excavations dictated by specific research questions and emergency excavations producing casual discoveries during public works generate a large number of documents. Such documents are summarised in a final excavation report that focuses on the specific purpose and ignores any archaeological information not directly impacted by the work. Nevertheless, this documentation also contains information about anything else found during the investigation, which may be usefully reused – if made available – by other researchers with a different purpose.
Today, most archaeological data are digital and it is more frequently being made available online, making it easer for other researchers to get important information from the work of colleagues, including data that was not included in final synthetic reports. The importance of these unpublished reports, commonly known as "grey literature" has been recognized, and they too have increasingly been made available online in many European countries. In some cases, this activity is performed by governmental offices, but the documents can also be found in subject-specific archives and repositories around the world, most notably the ADS (Archaeology Data Serviceat the University of York) in the UK, and the Digital Antiquityinitiative in the USA. These repositories not only disseminate new reports, but also work to save archaeological grey literature from destruction or from being forgotten in paper folders, on floppy disks, CD-ROMs or on hard drives left on an office shelf.
In 2012 there were many different repositories containing archaeological documentation in digital formats scattered around Europe, several of which were accessible online. However, a researcher wishing to find specific information could not perform a single query: the same search had to be repeated in each repository having different systems and data organisation, not to mention different languages. Furthermore, just because something is stored in an open online format does not necessarily mean it is easy to find: an effective search system needed to be implemented. Google does not help, as it mixes links to different topics that only have words in common. For example, searching for "axe" gives nearly 300 million hits – which is not really helpful for an archaeologist – mixing shaving and cosmetic products, modern steel tools, games and even software. It is very difficult to find the data about archaeologically relevant objects made by humans for millennia to harvest timber, as a weapon or as a ceremonial symbol.
This was the challenge for ARIADNE: to acknowledge that plenty of useful information is still stored, unused, in archaeological documentation; to make that information more accessible through the available technologies; to bring together the owners of such data who are willing to provide it openly to everyone. This, however, resulted in an overload of data, which made it nearly impossible to find the right information, but it highlighted both the problems and the potential. The ARIADNE partnership proposed a solution to address this issue and find a way, using Ariadne's thread, to exit from this difficult situation.
Discover the ARIADNEplus partners, the solutions they are proposing, and why this is important for citizens.
The ARIADNEplus partnership
The 41 ARIADNEplus partners come from 23 European countries, plus four from outside of Europe.
ARIADNEplus is funded to support researchers; but we believe it will be important and useful also for heritage agencies and managers, and for all citizens.
See which partners come from your country.
The ARIADNEplus Solution
To address the needs of archaeologists, first ARIADNE, and now ARIADNEplus, have designed an efficient solution. The project has created a portal (www.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/portal) with a catalogue of the archaeological datasets available online. This catalogue can be searched by choosing keywords or dates/time periods and/or the place of interest.
The actual data are held by the data owner within the participating institutions. When searching across all the datasets that can be discovered using the ARIADNE portal, the user can access the actual information through a link that points to the local institution. Thus, the catalogue works in way that resembles Google, but it contains only references to archaeological data accessed using concepts developed by archaeologists. The multilingual approach is also very important: ARIADNEplus uses multilingual vocabularies to query with terms in many languages and to search for documents written in different languages.
Moreover, the same portal offers tools to further process the data: for example to display images and 3D models to create a slide show; to analyse texts in order to automatically to create a subject index or to make annotations, i.e. adding personal notes on top of work previously carried out; to display thematic maps (for example: all bronze age sites in a region); and so on.
Thus, researchers will not only be able to find the information they are looking for, but to also elaborate on it, combining various sources according to the researcher's purpose, and thus obtain new research results.
Why is ARIADNEplus important for citizens?
Citizens get important indirect advantages from the ARIADNEplus activity, which improves the effectiveness of archaeological research, re-using the results of previous research work for new investigations. Moreover, it avoids duplication of work and produces savings. ARIADNEplus fosters the re-use of data: most of the research produced was paid with public funds, so the results are owned by tax-payers who funded them and must be shared with other researchers.
Although setting up ARIADNEplus required substantial funding (provided by the EU, who acknowledged its importance), maintaining it in the future will be relatively inexpensive, as the cost will be shared by all project partners.
Apart from its usefulness for research, ARIADNEplus may play a significant role for the management and conservation of archaeological heritage, supporting the agencies in charge of it. Cultural heritage is a key identity factor and also an economic resource, as it is important for cultural tourism, whose revenues account for 40% of all tourism.
Individuals interested in history and archaeology are welcome to use the ARIADNEplus system: even if it is designed for professional use, access is open to anybody. Its easy to use interface allows you to discover, for example, what happened in your local community in the past.
ARIADNEplus is a Horizon 2020 project funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. 823914. The views and opinions expressed in this publication are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission.

Fortnite's Polar Peak monster has been spotted swimming again
Will it ever fight the giant robot at Pressure Plant?
Bhernardo Viana
Screengrab via Epic Games
Fortnite's season nine lore is unfolding quickly, and one of its key parts—the monster that burst from inside the Polar Peak iceberg—has been spotted again.
Players saw what seems to be the Ice Castle that used to be at Polar Peak swimming in the ocean. This is the second time players have seen this happening, and that likely means the creature that was inside the iceberg is taking the castle for a swim on its back.
Related: How to find and unlock all Fortbytes in Fortnite's season 9
The difference is that now there's a giant robot being assembled at Pressure Plant, and both players and data miners believe season nine will end with an epic battle between the creature and this robot.
The only effective change the Polar Peak creature brought to Fortnite was the destruction of the Ice Castle. But this was a small change that simply made that location a bit less interesting for players to look for loot. When it did so, players saw footprints heading toward Snobby Shores and disappearing there, which is a clue that the creature is really in the ocean.
Other players confirmed that they also saw the creature swimming during their matches. Despite it being somewhat close to the Fortnite island, it hasn't caused any destruction or changes anywhere. So far, the creature seems to be warning players that it'll return to the island soon.
Players should learn the outcome of the creature's movement and the robot's construction as we approach the season nine end date. Fans should get to see the aftermath of whatever happens between the two and how they'll be used as part of the season 10 background story.
Fortnite's season 10 will start when season nine ends on Aug. 1.

One of the most important steps in a burglar's plan is selecting the right house. In this case, they take their time going through neighborhoods in an attempt to identify the most vulnerable homes. There are very specific things that they look for. Some increase their chances of targeting your home while others make it a no-go zone. With the former, it is important to understand what makes your home more attractive. That way, you will be able to figure out how to stop burglars from targeting your home. Below are 5 of the most important things that the burglars look for when trying to find the best home to hit.
Burglars thrive on anonymity and the ability to go through neighborhoods and beak into homes unseen. As a result, most not all burglaries occur at night in homes where occupants are away. Lighting is therefore everything or burglars who prefer to do their thing in the dark. In this case, homes tucked away in darker corners of the neighborhood become the more attractive targets. When working out how to stop burglars from targeting your home, one of the most important things to do is ensuring that there is proper lighting. In this case, investing in porch lights and floodlights for your front lawn and even back yard is the way to go.
Another design that increases chances of being targeted by burglars is that of see-through doors and window glass. These allow the burglar to very easily peep into your home and get an idea of the layout for their plans. It also allows them to figure out whether or not there is someone home which also comes in handy with their heist plans. In this case, there are two ways of preventing burglars from targeting your home. The first is by investing in stained or frosted glass. That way, you get to enjoy the aesthetics without compromising on your security. You may also choose to leave lights on only in the inner rooms as opposed to those in the entryways. In this case, you create the illusion of being home without giving the burglar enough lighting to peep into your home.
Secluded homes are every burglar's dream. These are without a doubt the easiest to hit as they are safely tucked away from watchful neighbors' eyes. In this case, how to stop burglars from targeting your home is by sparing no expense as far as security is concerned. Go all out with everything from security cameras, alarm systems, curb and lawn lighting and even security dogs. With all this, you turn your hidden paradise into a fortress that no burglar in their right mind would dare take a hack at.
As earlier stated, burglars are attracted to empty homes. In this case, any sign of inactivity would make your home more likely to be targeted. One of the most obvious signs is an overflowing mailbox or stacked up newspaper deliveries. Poorly maintained lawns and yards are also a giveaway. Something else that may increase your chances of being targeted in this case is having lights constantly off. To burglars, all these are signs that there is no one at home making it a much easier target. If you are planning on being away for a while, it is important to ensure that you keep up appearances. This is one of the best ways to keep your home from being targeted. In this case, invest in yard upkeep, get your mail collected and have timed light switched. With all these and more, you can rest assured that your home doesn't stand out to potential burglars.
Screened pool enclosures are something you need if you want to change your outdoor swimming pool into indoor pool. This is the best way to do the plan faster, easier and affordable. Moreover, it is not a permanent building so you can uninstall anytime you want and install it back when you want it.

For the wood necessity,Ipe decking is the best answer.


I'm trying to program my ice40 HX8K. I am using a pi B+ ver2, which is offered as an alternate programming method on the wiki page for this board. These instructions are for the HX1K, so my connections are different.
I have checked all my connections, tried switching from CE0# to CE1#, tried switching MISO and MOSI, tried all /dev/spidev?.? devices, tried rewiring to use SPI1 (pins 36-40), tried different baud rates, tried building flashrom from source (instead of using the packaged version), and rebooted. I have also tried powering the board via the raspberry pi, and using a pi rev 3 B. The jumper cables have been checked. I have the spi interface enabled in /boot/config.txt. I first asked on #raspberrypi on freenode, and again on ##electronics, but they were out of ideas. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
> These instructions are for the HX1K, so my connections are different.
Well it's more that the original instructions were for using IDC connectors and I am making the connection with jumper cables, as seen in the picture. Again, I have listed out the connections I made in the code box in the original post. I have checked them against the schematic for the HX8K and the pi.
I gave up on using 32u4 board because my version was 'A'. Changing the port numbers to match did not work plus the port jumped between /dev/ACM0 and /dev/ACM1 on board reset.
I configured a cable and flashrom software for a Pi 3B per the notes at the end of the Linux setup.
The files were modified in the ice40hx1k-evb for the ice40hx8k.evb.
perform the make, leaving you with an example.bin.
The .bin file generation is done my main Ubuntu system.
A Samba share on the Pi was used to transfer the bin to the Pi.
Note that readflash should be executed at least once before writeflash to setup gpio24.
Or, just copy the first two lines from readflash to writeflash.
I prefer this solution as it has been working reliably. Flashrom is well supported on linux.

Time Magazine: "Nas' Illmatic Stands the Test of Time for 20th-Anniversary Reissue"
Twenty years after it's release, Illmatic continues to receive praise as a hip hop testament of time. Appealing to listeners who share similar struggles as Nas did growing up in the projects, the album is an honest depiction of inner city life and one kid's determination to succeed. Speaking for those who have no voice, Illmatic addressed a number of economic, racial, social and political issues that are still relevant in today's society.
Time Magazine's Brian Josephs writes "Millennials will never be able to 100 percent relate to Nas' struggle, but the concept of The Struggle is a very human one that echoes from the Westchester suburbs and Brooklyn's Flatbush corners. That's what Nas eloquently and fluidly speaks to throughout Illmatic – a masterpiece that balances self-determinism with the harsh reality of simply staying alive to see a tomorrow whose worth is repeatedly in question."
The in-depth article breaks down the classic album and the true significance of it's re-release.

Our ground improvements took another step forward this week when the base for the stand got completed by the building contractor.
It seems crazy to me that the local council had to bring in a private contractor to do the work which we could have done as a club for £10,000.00 less.
Council's are truly bonkers aren't they?Anyway good luck with ground improvements, it'll be worth it when it's done. The new stand will be the icing on the cake.

Even though the number of Samsung wearables currently stands at five, the company isn't shy of adding a new member to its smartwatch family. Yonhap News reports that Samsung will announce the Gear Solo smartwatch along with the Galaxy Note 4 smartphone next month at IFA in Berlin, Germany.
As the solo tag implies, the Samsung Gear Solo will be a standalone smartwatch that doesn't need to be tethered to a nearby smartphone for functionality. Previous information about the Gear Solo indicated that it will have a SIM card slot, giving it the ability to make and answer calls directly from the watch. There is still no word on size or pricing, or even if the Gear Solo will use the Android Wear platform or Samsung's own Tizen OS.

This is not the first standalone smartwatch to hit the market, as companies such as Neptune and Timex have also announced their own standalone devices. Both the Neptune Pine and Timex Ironman One GPS+ will allow you to text directly from the phone and include GPS and a heart rate sensor for extensive fitness tracking.
Samsung's other announcement at IFA is one of its worst kept secrets. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is expected to ship with a blazing fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and 16-megapixel camera. The large smartphone/tablet hybrid is hoping to continue the success of the last year's model, and reports suggest the Note 4 will also feature a 2560 x 1440 quad HD display, possibly of the AMOLED variety. What remains to be seen is if the Note 4 will retain the Note 3's 5.7-inch screen size or venture closer to the 6-inch range.
While we may have to wait for IFA to uncover all the nitty-gritty details, you may not have to wait long to buy one. Last year's Galaxy Note 3 was released in the fall, making a fall ship date for the Note 4 quite likely.

Warehouse club Costco has teamed up with Chevrolet to offer its members a special edition Silverado 1500 that's loaded with abundant features, and as you'd expect, plenty of savings.
Hugh Milne, the Chevrolet Silverado marketing and advertising manager said, "This was literally Costco's idea they came to us and said, 'Hey, we would like to do something special with Silverado.'" So the two companies worked together to bring a very special truck to market.
These high-end LTZ-trim pickups come with an exclusive package that's only available through the Costco Auto Program. Just 5,000 of these rigs will be offered during a limited-time sales promotion, which is scheduled to run from April 1 to May 31 of this year.
These trucks are loaded to the gills with every available option, all a customer has to do is choose the color and whether they want two- or four-wheel drive. That's it.
Powering these machines is a brawny 5.3-liter V8 with fuel-saving cylinder deactivation. This advanced small block engine delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of low-RPM torque. Additionally, they roll on 22-inch chrome wheels and feature special exterior accents including blacked out bowtie badges.
As for functional enhancements, Costco-spec Silverados benefit from factory-installed spray-in bedliners and sturdy folding tonneau covers, but that's not all. They also gain navigation systems, heated and cooled seats as well as many of the latest driver assistance items like lane-departure warning and forward-collision alert. These are popular features that Costco members have been proven to prefer.

But why the Silverado? Well, the answer is simple. Costco has partnered with General Motors for sales promotions in the past and this truck has always been a top seller. This special offer aims to continue their ongoing success, and ultimately, sell more trucks.
"It's our highest volume, highest revenue," said Milne. "If this works, I've got to imagine some of my counterparts will be wanting to know how they can get involved," he added.
Naturally, value is a huge part of the equation and Costco Special Edition Silverados offer warehouse members a lot of savings. For starters, customers get GM supplier pricing, which significantly reduces the overall cost of the vehicle, but they also gain every qualifying manufacturer rebate and incentive. Beyond this, Costco provides a $1,000 allowance and throws in a $1,000 cash card if you complete a brief survey after the sale. That makes these trucks an exceptional value and a purchase that requires none of the haggling or monkeyshines normally associated with buying a new vehicle.
If you're interested in a Costco-edition Silverado, demonstrator models will be on display at warehouses across the country. However, you can purchase an example from any Chevy dealer, including one of more than 3,000 certified stores that are allowed to participate in the exclusive Costco Auto Program.
If there's any downside to this deal, it's the wait time. Delivery of your shiny new Silverado could take between six and eight weeks after the factory order is placed, but with abundant savings, it's probably worth being patient.
Discuss this story on our Chevrolet Silverado Forum
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly listed the deliver time as taking 16 weeks, it also indicated the Costco edition Silverado could only be purchased from participating dealers, which is wrong.

Q: Referencing a list during a MongoDB aggregation I have a list of musical keys:
keys = ["C", "C♯/D♭", "D" , "D♯/E♭", "E", "F", "F♯/G♭", "G", "G♯/A♭", "A", "A♯/B♭", "B"]
And an aggregation pipeline:
songsPipeline =[
    { "$match" : { "userName": "stevendiffey" } },
    { "$unwind" : "$songs"},
    { "$project" : { "_id" : 0,
        "song" : "$songs.song",
        "artist" : "$songs.artist",
        "spotifyURI" : "$songs.spotifyURI",
        "image" : "$songs.image",
        "uuid" : "$songs.uuid",
        "key" : "$songs.key"},
        }
    ]

How do I set key in the output to a key in the keys list?
I realised that key was outputting as a string, so I set it to an integer with:
{
    "$set": { "key": { "$toInt": "$key" }}
}

Natuarally I then thought that I could do:
{
    "$set": { "key": keys["key"] }
}

But that returns:
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
How best to set to the list?
Ideally, I want to keep it all within the pipeline, so that I can return it to a Jinja template.

A: Use arrayElemAt. "key" field should look something like this.
"key" : {$arrayElemAt: [["C","C♯/D♭","D","D♯/E♭","E","F","F♯/G♭","G","G♯/A♭","A","A♯/B♭","B"], {$toInt: "$songs.key"}]}

How Far Is Too Far?
May 3, 2019 SCI	Leave a comment
A big part of the game is to be patient, using available terrain features to remain hidden while waiting for game to move into a spot where they can be successfully stalked.
On a sunny, warm late August day in 2018 I was bowhunting pronghorn near Douglas, Wyoming with my friends Scott Denny, head honcho at Table Mountain Outfitters, and videographer extraordinaire Big Kelly Lee. I've done this hunt several times, always from a ground blind over a water source, and always killed a good buck on film, never in more than three days. For the pronghorn bowhunter, this combination is the best way possible to get a controlled shot at a calm buck at close range.
So when Scott asked me the afternoon before the hunt was to begin, "You wanna sit in a blind all day with Kelly, or do you just wanna go find and good buck and sneak up on him?"
Well. I've spot and stalked pronghorn off-and-on since the 1980's, with varying degrees of success. In the old days I was both inexperienced and clumsy, and mostly blew the stalks before I ever thought about getting into range. I learned early on that to make this work you needed the right terrain and, most important, a lot of animals so that when you messed it up, you could go find another one and get back in the game.
Robb used available terrain features and lots of patience, but 60 yards was as close as he could get. Conditions were right and he made the shot.
Scott has both on his leases, so off we went. To make a long story short, we found a really good buck early on, but he got onto us, so a few hours later we found another, and that time, after making a big circle and using an old drainage ditch for cover, I was able to get within 58 yards of him. The shot was perfect, and he ran maybe 200 yards before piling up.
You shot him how far away, you ask? Isn't that too far to be ethically shooting an arrow at a game animal?
Equipment Then And Now
Back in 1993 I wrote a column for Field & Stream magazine entitled "How Far Is Too Far?" Re-reading it reminded me of several things. For one, the debate on how far a bowhunter should ethically take a shot at a game animal is not a new one. For another, the change in equipment between then and now is stunning. Back then I talked about compound bows shooting hunting arrows at a "blistering" 220 feet per second (fps), and solving the range estimation problem by using such revolutionary products like the Ranging 50/2, 80/2, Eagle Eye 3X (the 80/2 with a 3X eyepiece), and TLR 75. Those were the first commercially-available rangefinders that incorporated the coincidence system, where you looked through the eyepiece and saw two images of the same object. When you turned the unit's dial the images merged together to become one, where they were said to be in "coincidence." A dial then theoretically showed you how far away the target was.
Using available terrain features such as this old irrigation ditch allows the bowhunter to get as close as possible before making his or her final move.
To say those units were mediocre is a monstrous understatement. The readings were close, but by no means precise — and even if you were skilled in their use, they were useless out past 40 yards or so. I still have a couple of them, and comparing one to any of today's laser rangefinders is apples and oranges. Thus, back in the day the discussion about how far was too far ended at 40 yards — and that was only for the most accomplished archers. For everyone else, 25 yards was considered the end of the earth. And that's on flat ground, since the old rangefinders did nothing to help you adjust your aim when shots were taken at steep uphill and downhill angles.
Fast forward to 2019. It's not uncommon for a compound bow to launch an extremely precisely-made, small-diameter carbon hunting arrow shaft tipped with an equally precisely-made low-profile mechanical broadhead at 300 fps, or more. Instead of fingers we loose the arrow with a release aid and aim with a bow sight that's machined to NASA-like specifications. Arrows fly with virtually no side-to-side wobble, making tight groups at much longer distances a reality. And modern crossbow manufacturers now advertise themselves with slogans such as "Meet Your Next Rifle" and being able to produce sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards. Some of the latest crossbows launch their arrows at initial speeds of over 450 fps!
There's A Big Difference
The bow-and-arrow set-up must be tuned perfectly, and the archer must be able to group his or her hunting arrows into tight groups at distance before even thinking about taking medium- to long-distance shots.
Still, there's a huge difference between shooting an arrow at a target and a living, breathing creature whose actions are as unpredictable as the financial markets, just as there is a huge difference in the skills of each and every bowhunter. Over the years I've been around some of the best archers on earth. In 1984 I worked the summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles where I watched America's Darrell Pace and Rick McKinney win gold and silver, respectively.
My friend Rick Bednar, now the president of TenPoint Crossbow Technologies — makers of the TenPoint, Horton and Wicked Ridge crossbows lines (TenPoint's new Nitro XRT crossbow sends an accurate arrow off at 470 fps) — was a three-time NCAA champion and qualified for the 1976 Olympic team. With both a compound bow and crossbow the man can shoot a gnat's eye out at distances that would amaze you. He's also a very serious and highly-accomplished bowhunter with both. And yet, Rick is the first to tell you that the recent long-distance shooting craze is bad for bowhunting.
"We have tested our crossbows from 0 to 60 yards in hunting conditions and 10 to 100 yards in target shooting conditions," Bednar says. "All of our test results are consistent with claims other manufactures make and we have duplicated similar or better results. However, in all cases our company recommends shooting your crossbow (regardless of the brand) at distances of 60 yards or less for hunting. At these yardages, we are confident you will be as successful, as you are personably capable, in your shot execution and given environmental conditions."
Technology Is Great, But …
Bowhunters should always be striving to stretch their own personal MESR (Maximum Effective Shooting Distance) under field conditions so each individual knows exactly what his or her limits are. Doing so also makes shots up close seem like slam dunks.
All this new technology is wonderful, and makes it so much easier to get the most out of your own shooting ability. I shoot my compound bows a lot, and use a 7-pin bow sight with my sight pins set at 10-yard increments from 20 to 80 yards. When I'm shooting well on a calm morning, I can hit the 4-inch diameter top to a Big Gulp cup pretty much every time at 80. I also have a crossbow with which, from a bench on a calm day, I can drill this same four-inch top most every time at 100 yards.
In the field, though, there are plenty of variables to contend with. Those include environmental conditions – wind, sun angle, how much daylight there is, how much brush and other flora is in the way, and whether the shot is on flat terrain or a steep uphill or downhill angle – and the animal itself. Is it calm or alert? What kind of shot angle is it giving you to the vitals? Is it a large, tough critter that requires a lot of momentum and kinetic energy at the target for the arrow to penetrate deeply? What are the odds that the animal will move even a little bit in the time it takes for the arrow to get there?
Establish Your Own MESR
Long ago I coined the term "Maximum Effective Shooting Range", or MESR. Essentially, I wanted to know how far out I could consistently place my hunting arrow inside a 6-inch circle, which is a tad smaller than the 8-inch diameter of the average North American whitetail deer's heart/lung vital area. To do so I would test myself in five-yard increments. I'd start at 20 yards and shoot five arrows at a 6-inch bull's-eye. If I placed all five arrows in the circle, I'd move back five yards, and do it again. And so on, and so on, until I reached a distance where I could no longer get it done. At that point I'd move five yards closer and, if I could make the five shots, call that my MESR under perfect conditions.
Next, I'd start over and shoot from my knees, then from the chair I use in a ground blind, and a tree stand seat. The entire process takes several range sessions, but at the end of the day I had a great idea what my own MESR was under a wide range of conditions.
: By waiting for the pronghorn on the left to feed to a spot where the farm equipment can be used as cover and watching the wind, it was possible to stalk within 40 yards without spooking them.
Try it with your hunting buddies, and one thing you'll find is there is a difference between individuals. Just like any athletic endeavor, consistent practice is paramount to improvement, and individual skill levels vary. That's why it doesn't matter what anybody else does. It only matters what you do.
And So, How Far Is Too Far?
And so, hitting that little 6-inch circle during MESR practice sessions is not the same as trying to kill one of God's magnificent creatures. For one thing, there's no buck fever to contend with. To me, bowhunting is all about getting in their face, using skills I've developed over a lifetime to close the distance until I'm closer than half a football field away — and preferably closer. Even then, unless everything's right — I know the exact distance to a calm animal, the winds are stable and I have a steady platform — I won't shoot. One thing I would never, ever do is launch a Hail Mary that might hit the animal in the vitals. In my world, it's better to walk away than risk wounding that animal. And I've walked away a lot.
Bowhunting, the sport we all love, and the magnificent animals we hunt, both deserve our complete respect. I'm no Darrell Pace, or Rick McKinney, or Levi Morgan, or Rick Bednar. Like Dirty Harry said, "A man's gotta know his limitations." I do. And so should you.–Bob Robb

In many ways, we live in the age of commentary. It seems like every cough, sneeze, and throat clearing is swiftly rendered into text, algorithmically circulated across social media, and subject to endless comments from every perspective. A pundit on every phone, a guru in every garage, and an interpreter on every internet browser.
And yet, our commentarial culture, when viewed historically, is remarkably constrained. Terse, even. We even have a phrase for it: "hot takes," instant reactions that would seem to tap into humanity's stream of consciousness in a hundred and forty characters or less. Two-hundred and eighty if you're lucky.
I have spent the last seven years studying a very different culture of commentary—commentary on Muhammad's sayings or practices, called hadith. While similar to our contemporary commentarial culture in many respects—a key hub of social and intellectual life—hadith commentaries were multi-volume works of art, monuments to knowledge that required deep learning and decades of training and continuous revision. Commentators dedicated their lives to commenting on a collection of hadith—often passing away before they could complete their work—and meticulously crafted their texts to speak not only to their present, but across long periods of time. These commentaries were built for a kind of time travel—their authors bundled up into quires of paper and ink all of the knowledge they could find in the hopes that readers on the other side of the globe and centuries into the distant future might find some benefit in them. While many perished, the greatest ones actually succeeded, and are still read assiduously today.
I first discovered my interest in hadith commentary when I was invited to attend a live commentary session in Damascus, Syria in 2009. The commentator had spent seven years explaining a single hadith collection, and was only a third of the way through explaining the entire work. Attended by hundreds of students from across the globe, the commentator drew on a rich tradition of commentaries from classical Andalusia, medieval Egypt, and modern India to illuminate the meaning of the hadith for his present audiences. Emulating the practices of his predecessors, he read each hadith aloud, and used each word or phrase to digress on almost every aspect of the human experience. But when I returned to Princeton later that year to begin my doctoral research, I found that virtually nothing had been published on this complex and multi-layered tradition. I could not even find an entry dedicated to the subject in the Encyclopedia of Islam.
After a little digging into the sources, it became clear just how important and exciting this understudied field was. A quick search yielded hundreds of hadith commentaries produced over a thousand years, and each one told a unique story. A hadith commentary sparked public furors in 11th-century Andalusia. In Egypt in the 14th and 15th centuries, live hadith commentary sessions were the stage for spectacular and sometimes destructive rivalries among Muslim chief justices, while the sultans and emirs in attendance doled out gifts, jobs, and even tax breaks. The tradition found new life in British India in the age of print and mass literacy, and Urdu and English commentators emerged to address the political challenges of colonialism but also to solve intellectual problems that, they claimed, their pre-modern predecessors had missed.
Said the Prophet of God tells the story of this living tradition across a millennium, and I hope it will be clear why it deserves more than a "hot take." As a central hub of Islamic social and intellectual life, the story of how Muslims interpreted and reinterpreted hadith has been a missing piece in the academy's patchwork understanding of Islam and Islamic history. But this tradition is too vast for a single book or a single scholar to undertake. My hope is that this book spurs on future students and scholars to begin to mine this vast literature. In that spirit, Said the Prophet of God does not pretend to offer the last word on the subject, but rather an introduction to further debate, questions, and commentary.
Said the Prophet of God explores the rich social and intellectual life of hadith commentary and offers new avenues for the study of religion, history, anthropology, and law.


MASSDEVICE ON CALL — Congressional Republicans are getting help from the American Medical Assn. in challenging the validity of the controversial Independent Payment Advisory Board mandated by President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
The GOP and the AMA have renewed their attacks on the controversial panel, which they say has far too much power over health care reimbursement rates.
The Budget Committee, chaired by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), scheduled a hearing on the IPAB for next week, Healthwatch reported.
About a dozen states have implemented Medicaid cuts that will go into effect this month, USA Today reported. The cuts could exacerbate what is already a shortage of health care providers that participate in Medicaid.
States curbing the aid program this month include South Carolina, Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Connecticut, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. Arizona and New York cut some funds in April, and Arizona has another cut planned for November.
The Disney Institute announced last week that its professional development program will provide customer service strategies to hospitals and health care organizations interested in "Building a Culture of Healthcare Excellence," as it is called.
"As with guests in Disney theme parks, the patient has to feel that he or she is getting the best possible service in all areas and at all levels, from the receptionist to the nurses and physicians," said Disney Institute consultant Patrick Jordan, a former healthcare executive, in a statement. "That starts with leadership."
Hospitals using the Disney best practices program include the Arkansas Children's Hospital and Florida Hospital for Children, which jumped from the bottom 10 percent in nationwide patient/family satisfaction scores to the top 10 percent, Fierce Healthcare reported.
Heart valve surgery outcomes linked to insurance status?
Uninsured and Medicaid payer status is associated with an increased risk for patients undergoing heart valve operations, according to a study published in the May issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.
From 2007 to 2008, the number of uninsured Americans rose by 600,000 and patients covered by government assistance insurance programs increased by 4.4 million and the number of Americans covered by private insurance decreased by one million, according to the study.
As a result, the researchers argue that insurance status should be treated as an independent risk factor during pre-operation planning.

One of many seven emirates from the United Arab Emirates, Dubai may be very warm to investors from regional to international companies seeking to develop businesses here. It's true that global recession has affected much of the world's financial and business sectors, Dubai continues becoming a favourite to investors all over the world mainly because it remains tax-free and diverse in the policy.

The requirement is good for you to seek out and arrange with a local sponsor which holds 51% in the total shares from the company. After arranging having a sponsor, you will need to pay for the upfront charge that's currently at AED300,000.00 paid in cash or all kinds because initial share capital needs to be paid just before setting up such LLC. Other rules and regulating the UAE Law is that an overseas selling shareholder cannot find the shares with the sponsor.
Starting a licensed branch office in Dubai can be an alternative. The UAE requires registration to the authorities through a local agent or sponsor. The sponsor arranges all legal matters on the government thus providing help registration of license, work permits, while others.

Ex-judge admits to giving light sentences for nude photos
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An Arkansas judge who gave lighter sentences to men guilty of minor crimes in return for nude photographs or sexual favors could get a bit of leniency himself after admitting Thursday that he engaged in what one state official called one of Arkansas' worst-ever cases of judicial misconduct.
Joseph Boeckman had faced possible sentences of 260 years in prison and $2.5 million in fines if convicted of all charges in a 21-count indictment alleging he abused the power of his office for years. He pleaded guilty to two counts under a plea bargain that calls for him to face about 2½ to 3 years in prison for wire fraud and witness tampering.
U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker accepted Boeckmann's guilty plea but warned that she is not obligated to impose the recommended sentence. Federal prosecutors said they would drop 19 other charges after Boeckmann's sentencing, which will likely occur in 2018. The plea agreement places fines in the range of $10,000 to $100,000.
Boeckmann spoke only briefly during Thursday's hearing. "Yes, ma'am," he said after a series of four questions on whether he understood the deal and agreed to be bound by it. He told the judge later that he was pleading guilty because he was guilty.
He and lawyer Jeff Rosenzweig declined comment outside court. Baker said Boeckmann could remain free pending sentencing, though he still must stay away from Wynne, where he held court in eastern Arkansas until last year.
The 71-year-old's raised right hand shook as he swore to answer questions truthfully. He carried a cane, though he didn't always use it.
As a district court judge in Cross County, 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Little Rock, Boeckmann mainly handled lower-level offenses such as traffic tickets and misdemeanors from 2008 to last year. Dozens of men who had passed through his court accused the judge of misconduct dating to his time as a prosecutor decades ago. Some said they posed nude in exchange for money to pay their fines.
Attorney Peter Halpern of the U.S. Department of Justice told Baker that Boeckmann had arranged for a third party to threaten a man who had complained about the abuse to state investigators. Boeckmann admitted doing so Thursday.
According to Halpern, Boeckmann would typically offer men a sentence of "community service" in lieu of court fines and fees — picking up bottles and cans while Boeckmann took photographs. An investigation by The Associated Press into court and law enforcement records last year showed that of the 254 men Boeckmann sentenced to community service over a seven-year period in one of three districts he oversaw, just 13 of the cases included timesheets and court records showing completion of the sentences.
Prosecutors said the judge committed fraud by "corruptly using his official position as an Arkansas district judge to obtain personal services, sexual contact and the opportunity to view and to photograph in compromising positions" men who appeared before him in court, at times communicating across state lines. He later falsely said the defendants had satisfied their obligations.
The head of the Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, David Sachar, had called Boeckmann's actions among the worst cases of judicial misconduct in state history.
"Joseph Boeckmann has finally had his day of reckoning. He always said the truth would come out," Sachar said. "Any victory over public corruption belongs to the people."
Sachar, who had been subpoenaed to appear at Boeckmann's trial had it occurred, said he wouldn't second-guess the suggested sentence, but noted Baker has a right to stray from the guidelines.

In the face of a surging COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department of Justice has asked Congress for the ability to detain people indefinitely without trial, to extend the statute of limitations in criminal cases and limit the constitutional right to confrontation.
There is no question that the nation is facing an unprecedented emergency, but now, especially now, is not the time to ignore the U.S. Constitution.
At stake are three fundamental rights that are afforded all persons accused of a crime - the right to a speedy trial, the government's responsibility to file charges within a reasonable, statutorily established, period of time, and the right to confront one's accuser.
A defendant's right to a speedy trial has constitutional and statutory underpinnings. The Sixth Amendment provides, through the Speedy Trial Clause, that an accused formally charged or detrained pretrial is entitled to have his case heard with reasonable diligence. Rule 48 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure grants trial courts discretion to dismiss cases that are not brought to trial promptly.
The reason for a speedy trial rule is to prevent the government from arresting an accused and letting him or her languish in jail without being proven guilty. During this health emergency it is important to bring pretrial detainees to trial as quickly as possible or let them out of jail until trial.
The Constitution grants people habeas corpus which gives the accused the right to appear in front of a judge and ask to be released before trial. Adopting Attorney General William Barr's recommendations would essentially suspend habeas corpus indefinitely until the emergency ended. However, Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides, "The Privileges of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended unless when in Cases of Rebellion of Invasion ..." A national health emergency is not listed as a reason to suspend habeas corpus.
Federal statutes of limitations provide a time frame within which charges must be filed. For instance, in state court the statute of limitations might be two years for a misdemeanor theft. If charges are not filed within two years of the date of the crime the charges are forever barred.
Such limitations are a product of the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause. The purpose and effect of a statute of limitations is to protect defendants. The statute is based on the premise that if the government has a case they should pursue it with reasonable diligence. A delay could result in the defendant losing evidence necessary to disprove the claim; and litigation of a long-dormant accusation may result in an injustice.
The justification for extending the statute of limitations is that due to the health emergency the police are too busy and the courts may be closed - so the statute should be extended to pursue untimely cases. If those cases were butting up against the statute before the emergency, they have already been delayed for nearly two years or five years or longer depending on the alleged criminal conduct.
Instead of a blanket extension, the court should conduct a hearing to determine if prosecutors used due diligence to bring the case to trial before the health emergency and then, as swiftly as possible, after the emergency.
Finally, the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to confront the witnesses against the accused. This right is known as the Confrontation Clause. This clause guarantees criminal defendants the opportunity to face the prosecution's witnesses in the case against them and dispute the witnesses' testimony.
The right to confront witnesses face-to-face is a fundamental right for those accused of a crime. The DOJ wants to use videoconferencing to permit a defendant in jail to participate in a proceeding remotely. Remote hearings are already being utilized for bail and extradition, but not for "critical stage" proceedings.
The idea of conducting a critical stage hearing without the defendant being present is extreme. In fact, some states had to amend their state constitutions to permit child victims to testify by video conferencing - outside the presence of the defendant.
Congress needs to proceed with caution. Setting aside fundamental constitutional rights for any reason is dangerous.

Public license information

WQMY (channel 53) is a television station licensed to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, United States, serving Northeastern Pennsylvania as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. It is owned by locally based New Age Media, LLC, alongside Hazleton-licensed Fox affiliate and company flagship WOLF-TV (channel 56); New Age also provides certain services to Scranton-licensed CW affiliate WSWB (channel 38) under a local marketing agreement (LMA) with MPS Media. All three stations, in turn, are operated under a master service agreement by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. The stations share studios on PA 315 in the Fox Hill section of Plains Township; WQMY's transmitter is located on Bald Eagle Mountain. However, newscasts have originated from the facilities of sister station and CBS affiliate WSBT-TV in South Bend, Indiana since January 2017. There is no separate website for WQMY; instead, it is integrated with that of sister station WOLF-TV.
Although WQMY transmits a digital signal of its own, it does not reach the two major cities in the market, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Therefore, the station is simulcast on WOLF-TV's third digital subchannel (56.3) from its transmitter on Penobscot Knob near Mountain Top.
As a WOLF satellite
On December 30, 1988, the station signed on an analog signal on UHF channel 53. It was the second full-time satellite of Fox affiliate WOLF-TV (then on analog UHF channel 38) owned by Scranton TV Partners. Using the call letters WDZA, in which they changed to WILF in 1990, this station was established to improve coverage of its parent station in the northern and western parts of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market and serve portions of the Pennsylvania side of the adjacent Binghamton and Elmira markets, which themselves would not receive local Fox affiliates until April 1996 and mid-1997. On November 1, 1998, then-owner Pegasus Television changed channel 38's call letters to the current WSWB and made it the area's second WB affiliate after low-powered WYLN-LP in Hazleton dropped the network. Fox programming remained on channel 38's former satellite, WWLF in Hazleton, which picked up the WOLF-TV calls. WILF remained as a repeater of WSWB. WSWB/WILF also picked up UPN as a secondary affiliation. Select programming from the network aired on Saturday nights (since The WB did not offer programs then) without the branding. For the last three years of its affiliation with UPN, the station aired America's Next Top Model in the 8 p.m. timeslot, followed at 9 p.m. by WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Whenever Top Model was in repeats, it would air Veronica Mars instead. All UPN programming in pattern was available on cable via superstation WWOR-TV from New York City (which served Pike County, which is part of the New York DMA) or WPSG from Philadelphia (which served Lehigh and Northampton counties, which are part of the Philadelphia DMA); cable systems in some areas carried WLYH-TV from Harrisburg instead.
Pegasus declared bankruptcy in June 2004 over a dispute with DirecTV, which was co-owned with Fox by News Corporation, over marketing of the satellite service in rural areas. The Pegasus station group was sold in August 2006 to private investment firm CP Media, LLC of Wilkes-Barre for $55.5 million. Eventually, CP Media formed a new broadcasting company, New Age Media. For the first time in its history, WSWB was no longer co-owned with WOLF-TV. However, the new owner entered into a local marketing agreement (LMA) so the stations could continue to be commonly operated.
As a MyNetworkTV affiliate; conversion into a separate station
On January 24, 2006, the respective parent companies of UPN and The WB, CBS Corporation and the Warner Bros. Entertainment division of Time Warner, announced that they would dissolve the two networks to create The CW Television Network, a joint venture between the two media companies that initially featured programs from its two predecessor networks as well as new series specifically produced for The CW.[1][2] Subsequently, on February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the launch of MyNetworkTV, a network operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndication division Twentieth Television that was created to primarily to provide network programming to UPN and WB stations that The CW decided against affiliating based on their local viewership standing in comparison to the outlet that The CW ultimately chose as its charter outlets, giving these stations another option besides converting to a general entertainment independent format.[3][4]
On May 1, 2006, in an announcement by New Age Media, WILF was named as MyNetworkTV's charter affiliate for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market and would sever its simulcast of WSWB to become an independently programmed outlet; concurrently, WSWB was announced as the market's charter CW affiliate, a choice that was made apparent as that station had already maintained affiliations with both The WB and UPN. Since WILF's signal was more or less unviewable in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, it was also announced that its programming would be simulcast over a new third digital subchannel of WOLF-TV. WILF changed its call letters to the current WQMY on July 7 to reflect the upcoming affiliation change. WQMY became a charter affiliate of MyNetworkTV when that network launched on September 5, at which time, the station ceased operating as a full-time WSWB satellite and introduced a separate programming lineup and branding. WSWB became a CW charter affiliate when that network launched two weeks later on September 18. On May 8, 2010, WQMY began re-broadcasting live Philadelphia Union MLS telecasts from ABC affiliate WPVI-TV.
On September 25, 2013, New Age Media announced that it would sell most of its stations, including WQMY and WOLF-TV, to the Sinclair Broadcast Group.[5][6] On October 31, 2014, New Age Media requested the dismissal of its application to sell WQMY;[7] the next day, Sinclair purchased the non-license assets of the stations it planned to buy from New Age Media and began operating them through a master service agreement.[8][9]
On May 8, 2017, Sinclair entered into an agreement to acquire Chicago-based Tribune Media – which, through a shared services agreement with owner Dreamcatcher Broadcasting, has operated ABC affiliate WNEP-TV (channel 16) since December 2013 – for $3.9 billion, plus the assumption of $2.7 billion in debt held by Tribune. The complicated SSA relationships that Sinclair has in the Scranton–Wilkes–Barre market with WOLF, WSWB and WQMY – the former two of which are currently the only legal television duopoly in the market – created an ownership entanglement, as WNEP and WOLF rank among the market's four highest-rated stations, and the market has too few independently owned full-power stations to permit a second legal duopoly in any event. (Sinclair CEO Christopher Ripley cited Scranton–Wilkes–Barre as one of three markets, out of fourteen where ownership conflicts exist between the two groups, where the proposed acquisition would likely result in divestitures).[10][11][12][13][14][15] To alleviate some of the regulatory issues that the deal incurred by selling certain stations to both independent and affiliated third-party companies, on April 24, 2018, Sinclair announced that it would sell the non-license assets of WOLF-TV, WQMY, and WSWB and the full assets of eight other stations – Sinclair-operated KOKH-TV in Oklahoma City, WRLH-TV in Richmond, KDSM-TV in Des Moines and WXLV-TV in Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, and Tribune-owned WPMT in Harrisburg and WXMI in Grand Rapids – to Standard Media Group (an independent broadcast holding company formed by private equity firm Standard General to assume ownership of and absolve ownership conflicts involving the aforementioned stations) for $441.1 million. Sinclair concurrently exercised its option to buy WOLF-TV and WQMY – the latter of which, for regulatory purposes, will continue to be licensed as a satellite of WOLF-TV – to allow Standard Media Group to acquire the stations outright; Standard will concurrently acquire the WOLF-TV license, which is permitted under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ownership regulations as WSWB is not ranked as one of the top-four stations in the market.[16][17][18][19][20]
Three weeks after the FCC's July 18 vote to have the deal reviewed by an administrative law judge amid "serious concerns" about Sinclair's forthrightness in its applications to sell certain conflict properties, on August 9, 2018, Tribune announced it would terminate the Sinclair deal, intending to seek other M&A opportunities. Tribune also filed a breach of contract lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court, alleging that Sinclair engaged in protracted negotiations with the FCC and the DOJ over regulatory issues, refused to sell stations in markets where it already had properties, and proposed divestitures to parties with ties to Sinclair executive chair David D. Smith that were rejected or highly subject to rejection to maintain control over stations it was required to sell. The termination of the Sinclair sale agreement places uncertainty for the future of Standard Media's purchases of WOLF/WQMY/WSWB and the other four Tribune- and Sinclair-operated stations included in that deal, which were predicated on the closure of the Sinclair–Tribune merger.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]
Syndicated programming on WQMY includes The People's Court, Judge Mathis and Family Feud.
WQMY also airs Philadelphia Phillies over-the-air games syndicated from WCAU and WPHL-TV, as well as New York Mets over-the-air games syndicated from WPIX.[citation needed]
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
Programming[33]
53.1 480i 4:3 WQMY DT Main WQMY programming / MyNetworkTV
53.2 720p 16:9 WOLF DT Simulcast of WOLF-TV / Fox
53.3 480i 4:3 WSWB DT Simulcast of WSWB / The CW
WQMY multiplexes its signal in order to broadcast WOLF in HD and WSWB to the Lycoming County area.[34] In mid-2010, WQMY started routing direct HD signals to various cable companies in northeast Pennsylvania.
Analog-to-digital conversion
WQMY shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 53, on February 17, 2009, the original target date in which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 29.[35] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 53, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition.
