A small pillow can be difference between a relaxing jaunt or an uncomfortable journey —this you already know. But, which pads are perfect for you? We tested a slew of them and came up with four of the best travel pillows that get the job done, pack down well, and won't make you look too awkward in transit.
Size: (inflated) 21″ x 11.5″ x 4″ (packed) about the same size of a Starbucks Grande iced coffee.
Why we love it: Comfort. Compact. Stout. All things a travel pillow should be. Under the microsuede cover, it has i-beam baffles that let you nuzzle and it's base is made from memory foam so your head sinks in just like a regular pillow. Yes it inflates, and for over a year, ours has never leaked. Its pack bag is built into cover and the outer shell is completely machine washable. Our only complaint? The mouthpiece for inflation is pretty exposed so you may want some disinfecting wipes if you're using it on an airplane.
Size (Medium) 19″ x 14″ x 5″ (large) 21″ x 17″ x 5″ (packed) about the size of a Red Bull can.
Weight: 5.1 oz. to 6.5 oz.
Why we love it: Germaphobes rejoice! When this pillow releases in January 2016, it will come with patent-pending technology that enables you to blow it up without ever having to put your mouth on a valve (or having to use a pump). How so? There's a one way opening that looks like an oversized balloon opening (mouth goes inside, never touching the outside) and then seals like a dry bag. It's not the most comfortable pillow we've tried, but if you leave it half full it's a lot better than most, and yes, it holds the air. Bonus: It could easily become a floaty, should you land in water.
Size 10″ x 7″ x 4″ (packed) It doesn't really pack down.
Why we love it: In a word: Style. But also because it's made from a silky English fabric with a resilient synthetic filling (which makes it dry fast). It may not pack down, but its the smallest of our lot and we had no problem stuffing into our carry on.
Why we love it: It's hideous to look at, but you'll be the envy of everyone else, especially if you're ever stuck in the middle seat. That's because this is one of the only neck supporting pillows that actually works. The memory foam supports your neck and head no matter what direction you turn it. Plus, it actually packs down pretty well.

I wanna take a little moment with all of you and talk about Jagerbombs.
Now, I was already bartending when Red Bull became popular, and so I have probably mixed more Red Bull vodkas than any other drink, with Jagerbombs being a very close second.
To me, Jagerbombs are a shot. No, they aren't your classic shooter in a one ounce shot glass, and they take longer than .5 seconds to drink, but if one were going to classify them under any category in the drinking vernacular, I'd go with shot. Of course they are the king of their very own sub category, bomb shots, but again, shot is the operative word.
Who is this person and where do they live that Jagerbombs aren't shots? Or, an even better question, how long is it taking them to drink a Jagerbomb that they don't consider it a shot? Do they know that I'm not talking about a mixed drink of Jager and Red Bull? Have they ever HAD a Jagerbomb?
Or maybe I'm wrong. Nah, can't be.
What do you think? Do you agree with me that Jagerbombs are a shot, or do you think my reader is correct and that Jagerbombs cannot be classified in this category?

Q: PassportJS redirect not working when using AngularJS $http to POST I'm using passportJS for user authentication. This is in my app's routes, which authenticates login info.
app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local', { successRedirect: '/',
                                                failureRedirect: '/login' }));

The redirection works when I have my form like so:
<form action="/login" method="post">
  ...
</form>

But when I use Angular's ng-submit with a $http.post('/login') method, the redirect doesn't trigger. The login does work, but the redirect doesn't.
<form ng-submit="submitLogin(name,password)">
  ...
</form>

MainController.js
$scope.loginSubmit = function(n,p) {
    $http.post('/login', {
      email: n,
      password: p
    });
};

Why does Angular prevent the redirect from working?

A: I'm not sure why the redirect doesn't work with Angular, but I figured out a way to solve my problem.
We need to send stuff back to Angular, and then use $location.path() to handle the redirect.
PassportJS suggests to use a custom callback if the simple authenticate functionality isn't enough.
app.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
    passport.authenticate('local-login', function(err, user, info) {
      if (err) {
        return next(err);
      }
      if (!user) {
        res.send({
          message: 'no user'
        });
      }
      req.login(user, function(err) {
        if (err) {
          return next(err);
        }
        res.send({
          message: 'logged in'
        });
      });
    })(req, res, next);
  });

Instead of using res.redirect(), we simply send a message back to Angular.
Controller
$http.post('/login', {
  email: n,
  password: p
})
.success(function(data) {
  if (data.message === 'logged in') {
    $location.path('/presents');
});

Q: Saved preferences resetting on restart I just bought a MacBook Pro with OS X Lion.
I am having a problem with all my saved preferences: for example, in my Finder "General Preferences", the new finder window shows setting keeps resetting each time I turn on my Mac.
I am having the exact same problem with the general system preferences regarding the restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps setting; I disabled it but when I restart my laptop, Lion keeps re-opening the programs that were opened in the previous session.
I am a first time Mac user and I am a bit lost with this problem :)

A: I think the confusion may be in this dialog:

Unchecking it works for the current restart but the next time it comes up its checked. It has a default state which doesn't seem to have a control in system preferences and may be getting mixed up with this related but different control:

No doubt others here will know more about this than I do but I understand how a new user might be confused.

A: I encountered a similar issue a few weeks ago.
Launch System Preferences, then select Users and Groups, and select the Login Items tab. The stray window should be in the list of programs. Delete it.

A: As far as this: "lion keeps re-opening the programs that were opened in the previous session." you seem to not be reading the message.
The preference you are setting is when you close an app and reopen it.
You seem to be closing the machine down and then being surprised the apps that were open when you shut it down re-open.
Read the text you wrote above out loud slowly and I think you may see that one thing is not the same as the other.

14 advantages of being highly sensitive
by Jenn Granneman
If you're a highly sensitive person like me, you know that life sometimes feels overwhelming. When you're tired, you're really tired. When you haven't eaten for a few hours, you're really hungry. When something bad happens to you, it might weigh on you for days or weeks — and when everyone else is telling you to move on and get over it, you're still turning the event over and over in your mind.
The worst part is, when you try to explain to people how you feel, you worry that you sound like you're complaining or exaggerating. So you often end up saying nothing at all.
The trait of sensitivity can sometimes make us HSPs feel like tortured souls. The world is too much, too loud, too harsh. If only we could just be normal, we tell ourselves, life would be easier. We compare ourselves to other people who seem to float through life and take things in stride. If only everything didn't have to be such a big deal for us.
It's easy to focus only on the difficult aspects of being an HSP. Yet it's this remarkable, rare trait of ours that also gives us our advantage in life. Our sensitivity is a unique biological difference that can give birth to incredible focus, insight, and empathy.
What advantages do HSPs have?
Remember that this list is on the average, and most people will not have all of these traits. Yet according to researcher Dr. Elaine Aron, author of the wonderful book The Highly Sensitive Person, HSPs have these advantages, compared to non-HSPs:
1. We're able to concentrate deeply.
This is especially true when there aren't any distractions.
2. We notice subtleties that others may miss.
This trait may be the most noticeable to us personally. It's not that our eyes, nose, skin, taste buds, or ears are different from those of non-HSPs. It's that we process sensory information more carefully, because we use areas of our brain that are associated with more complex processing. "Our awareness of subtleties is useful in an infinite number of ways, from simple pleasure in life to strategizing our response based on our awareness of others' nonverbal cues (that they may have no idea they are giving off) about their mood or trustworthiness," writes Dr. Aron.
3. We're good at tasks requiring vigilance, accuracy, speed, and the detection of minor differences.
Likewise, we're better at noticing errors and avoiding mistakes. This is due to our ability to notice subtleties.
4. We're able to process material to deeper levels.
We relate and compare what we notice to our past experience with other similar things. We process information in what psychologists call "semantic memory," which is a type of long-term memory that deals with meanings, understandings, and other concept-based knowledge.
5. We're able to learn something new without being aware we have learned.
We're intuitive, which means we can pick up and work through information in a semiconscious or unconscious way. We may suddenly just "know" the answer to a problem, without knowing how we know. Our intuition may seem like a "sixth sense."
6. We're highly conscientious.
We're more likely to be considerate and show good manners — and we're more likely to notice when someone else isn't being conscientious. In a crowded public space, we might be more aware of where we're standing or where we're placing our belongings, to make sure we're not getting in someone else's way.
7. We have high levels of empathy, and we're deeply moved by other people's emotions.
We're aware of other people's moods and intentions, and we may actually feel another person's emotions ourselves to some extent. In a study by Bianca Acevedo, sensitive and nonsensitive people looked at photographs of both strangers and loved ones showing happiness, sadness, or a neutral feeling. In all situations in which emotion was shown, but especially when looking at the happy faces of loved ones, sensitive people showed increased activation in the areas of the brain associated with empathy. When looking at photographs of their loved ones being unhappy, sensitive people showed more activation in areas suggesting they wanted to do something — to act — even more than in areas associated with empathy.
8. We relish a good outcome and figure out more than others do how to make it happen.
HSPs react more to emotions, because we process events and information deeply. We especially react to positive emotions like curiosity, anticipation of success, a pleasant desire for something, satisfaction, joy, and contentedness. We figure out more than non-HSPs do how to make good things happen, so we can enjoy those positive emotions. For example, we might plan a really good birthday party.
9. We're specialists at fine motor movements.
This may mean we excel at things like sewing, sculpting, drawing, or playing a musical instrument — anything that requires movements produced by the body's small muscle groups. We're also better at holding still.
10. We learn languages better.
Because we process information deeply, over time we understand and remember more.
11. We consider the past and the future more.
When making a decision, we think about related events that have happened in the past, and we think about all the possible ways our decision might affect the future.
12. We think about our own thinking more.
This is not self-centered. In fact, HSPs are no less likely to think about other people. What it means is we are more aware of and better able to talk about our own inner reflections and musings. We may reflect on how something went wrong to help us avoid a similar mistake in the future.
13. We're more "right-brained."
We're less linear and more creative in a synthesizing way.
14. We may be more "soulful" and spiritual.
This doesn't necessarily mean we're committed to an organized religion (although many HSPs attend religious services and have deeply held religious beliefs). It means we're concerned with the fate of humanity, the future, and big, complex ideas that are not black-and-white. We might frequently ponder, what is the meaning of life and why am I here?
Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate.

Bobcat: A firm with bite?
Scott Park argues that the Bobcat brand of compact construction vehicles will prove to be crucial to parent firm Doosan's plans to grow its construction equipment arm over the next five years.
Doosan, which is Korea's oldest conglomerate with overall revenues of around $24.5bn a year, shelled out $4.9bn for the iconic Bobcat brand seven years ago in what was the biggest ever purchase of an overseas business by a Korean firm.
The move, Park explained, was part of an ongoing strategy being implemented by Doosan to move "from a consumer-orientated type of business into the infrastructure support businesses", and targeting infrastructure projects in emerging economies.
Doosan looks to achieve this partly through business units that are involved in civil construction, as well as EPC work for power, water and offshore plants. It also has a huge construction equipment arm containing both the Bobcat and Doosan Heavy Equipment range.
Park, who joined the firm in November 2013 to head the Doosan Infracore Construction Equipment (DICE) business in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, North America and Oceania, says that the infracore division earns around $8.2bn of revenues – 75%-80% of this through the construction equipment.
Within the territories overseen by Park, the firm earns revenues of approximately $3.4-$4bn a year, but in a message to dealers and journalists at Bobcat's worldwide dealer convention in Prague, he said that he aims for this to grow significantly.
"What am I looking at? If you look at our growth plans for the next five years, I'm looking to double my revenues in that period. So, pretty aggressive growth, but I think we've got some very good strategies and some underlying infrastructure to be able to develop that result," he said.
Park, who had previously been chief information officer at Volvo Construction Equipment, said: "I think there is huge growth potential for the Bobcat product. If you look at the marketplace where we're playing today, CTLs (compact track loaders), SSLs (skid-steer loaders), MEXs (mini-excavators), telehandlers – there's a lot of opportunities in each sector.
Therefore, he argues that much of its growth plan is based on creating new business by demonstrating the capability of products as opposed to purely taking market share from competitors.
Park is looking to do this in a number of ways. Part of this involves product development, with a growing number of Bobcat's new ranges being produced at a facility in Dobríš in the Czech Republic, which opened in 2001.
The company is currently investing $19mn in a new research and development centre at Dobríš that will include high-tech facilities such as wind tunnels to test stability and aerodynamics.
Alongside the campus at Dobríš the firm has four other factories in Europe – two in France, one in Ireland and one in Belgium, which is also the site of its European headquarters.
It employs around 2,000 people in the region. Bobcat contributes approximately half of Doosan Infracore's EMEA revenues, he argues, and an even higher portion of its margins.
Moreover, Knoetgen said that there had been a "transformation" in terms of its supply chain over the past 10 years, with more of its own manufacturing and parts originating from the region.
Around 7,000 machines – loaders and mini-excavators – are manufacturered every year in Dobríš, while most of its telehanders are produced at a factory in Pontchâteau in France.
For instance, he argues that Bobcat, which has traditionally relied on third-party providers for its engines, is now set to benefit from a new range of engines to meet US Tier 4 regulations (which cover diesel emissions) designed specifically for its machines by Doosan – an investment of around $250mn-$300mn.
And although these engines won't feature in Middle East models (Gulf regulations are not as stringent), the company has been investing in the Middle East.
"I guess about 50% of loaders (produced in Europe) go into that market and of course we take the specific requirements of those markets seriously when we develop new products," said Knoetgen.
Giuliano Parodi, EMEA vice-president of sales & marketing for DICE, argued that resources placed into the region had also grown substantially. Until it opened a dedicated Dubai office around six years ago, the market was served by a London-based representative. Now, regional director Gaby Rhayem heads a team of 13 staff based in Dubai, where the firm is also planning further investment.
"By the end of this year, we will open a parts and depot centre in Dubai to better serve our dealers and customers in the Middle East and Africa," said Parodi.
He added that the training facility on the Dobríš campus now receives more than 2,000 visitors a year, "with a very high participation from dealers and customers in the Middle East".
With the pipeline of projects across the region building, the firm expects a clamour for both heavy and compact equipment. On the Heavy Equipment side of the business, Doosan is already market leader in the Middle East, with a share of around 20%.
In compact equipment, too, Bobcat enjoys healthy market share, and around 85%-90% of its orders from the Middle East are for its skid steer loaders.
Bobcat recently replaced the most popular model used in the region, the S130, with a new S450 product in April.
It has a number of advantages over its predecessor, including a 30% increase in visibility, a choice of 48 different attachments and a slightly bigger cab, with internal space increasing by 10%.
Perhaps the most important change, though, and one which is pertinent to the region, is that the S450 offers an option for a pressurised, air-conditioned cab – the first time such a feature has been offered on a loader that is so compact.
Jose Cuadrado, EMEA vice-president of Doosan's Compact Equipment division, said: "When we decided to set up our manufacturing centre here (Dobríš) we wanted to be closer to the EMEA market and that means making a product that the customer segment in our region needs. And those needs may be slightly different than somewhere else.
During the convention, Bobcat also gave a sneak preview of its new 1-2-tonne mini-excavators – the E17, E19 and E20, which will hit the market at the end of this year.


MOKPO - It is bittersweet to be here. Unlike fast-changing cities such as Seoul that attempt to eliminate as many fragments of Korea`s painful history as possible, Mokpo of South Jeolla Province has preserved much of what remains from the Japanese colonial period.
The historical reminders range from an old school building to a perfectly-preserved Japanese-style garden, as well as a well-preserved museum exhibiting painful and lamentable pictures taken by Japanese soldiers of their atrocities committed during their colonial rule.
At the gravesite of singer Lee Nan-young (1916-1965) which overlooks Mokpo`s scenic Samhakdo islands toward the southern sea, Lee`s melancholy voice comes through an aging speaker. The mood is solemn but strangely tranquil.
Acknowledging the history and embracing the pain that comes with it, Mokpo is now gearing up to take a new direction for a better future.
"Mokpo, which was once one of the largest port cities in Korea during the colonial period, was widely neglected after the Japanese merchants left, which could also explain why the city was later better known as the city of `thugs` who tried to make a living out of what little was left," said Gwak Soon-im, Mokpo City`s designated cultural travel tour guide.
It has been 112 years since the Mokpo Port opened in 1897, and 90 years since the April 8 movement in 1919, when more than 20 patriots were captured by the Japanese for leading a street procession chanting for independence. It sparked countless other independent parades across the nation.
Now this port city is gearing up to energize once again, also shifting their focus to developing a good tourism destination by telling the story of the city`s history and life.
A must-see spot is the Mokpo Modern History Museum, while a boat trip to Oedaldo island is also highly recommended.
Also a point to watch is the tiny railway that cuts through the city, just a few meters away from small stores that line the streets. The railway, built in the 1950s, was once used to deliver cargo to and from Mokpo ports. Small trains still use the railway, and one can be lucky enough to actually see them chug along once every three days.
On the southern tip of Mokpo`s mainland is Samhakdo island. The island was originally three, with "sam" meaning three. But since 1968, with the construction of a sea wall and reclamation work, the islands have lost their original shape and have become one bigger island.
In order to revive the islands, considered one of the significant features of the city, the local government has begun separating them to make three, and the work is slated to be completed by 2011.
On one of the islands is the Lee Nan-young Park, where the grave of the singer sits under the tree dedicated to her.
As a singer of the famous song "Mokpo`s Tears," Lee is considered to represent the hardship and struggle of Mokpo through the modern history, during which most of her songs were crudely scrutinized and screened.
Samhakdo has a myth that goes along with it as well. The name translates into "three islands of cranes." The story has it that three sisters fell in love with the same man, who was a merchant, while they went back and forth to the main land to deliver water. The man, who could not choose one among the three sisters, decided to send each of them to three different islands. While the sisters were traveling in a boat toward the islands, the tradesman grew greedy, and chose to shoot down the boats thinking if he could not get them all, nobody should. As the boats began to sink into the sea, the sisters ascended to heaven in the form of cranes. The remnants of their transformation then became the three small islands.
While the story is quite Oriental in nature, the city is planning a more Westernized project to develop them, by constructing a large yacht marina that can hold up to 500 ships.
The best view of Mokpo, filled with layers of small houses with colorful rooftops, can be seen atop Mount Yudal, located in the west of the city.
The mountain is the end tip of the Noryeong mountain range. Mount Yudal is also called Mount Yeongdal, meaning a spirit that has left this world stops by to rest before going to the world beyond.
From the mountain, one can also enjoy the open view of the archipelago of the ocean in front, and boats that travel through it.
It is also interesting to see the lower parts of the mountain, layered by various buildings from the colonial period, such as the former elementary school for Japanese children and old factories with chimneys.
During this time of the year, the mountain is a host to one of the nation`s largest flower festivals. It becomes a widespread slope of bright yellow forsythia and other spring flowers.
Sitting just below the summit of the mountain is Nojeokbong, a large rock 60 meters high.
It is said that Admiral Yi Sun-sin (1545-1598) warned off Japanese aggression by covering the entire rock with straw, which made it appear from afar as if it was a huge mound of rice provision for the army, tricking the enemy into believing that he was leading a larger unit.
Climb a little higher and one meets the millennium citizen`s bell, constructed to celebrate the dawning of the 21st century. The bell was completed in Oct. 1, 2000. Although the production was criticized by many as a superfluous use of budget, Mokpo stuck by the project to "long for the peaceful unification of the two Koreas and a disbandment of regionalism between the East and the West."
Upon reservation, visitors can try ringing the giant bell every weekend and on holidays. Seven teams can experience the program each day costing 5,000 won per team. Reservations can be made on www.skygun.kr (English version not available yet).
The museum was actually a building owned by the Oriental Development Company, which set up its headquarters in Mokpo that was the hub of business during the Japanese colonial period. It later moved to Tokyo, Japan, in 1917.
At first glance, the museum looks inviting, with the wooden floors and cement walls still holding the scent of earlier times. The first floor showcases the scenes of quite humble and common sightings around Mokpo in the 1920s.
The second floor, however, is quite shocking and mind-boggling, and it is not recommended for those with weak hearts to go up.
On the second floor is an exhibition of some 100 pictures taken by the Japanese - the photos are downright brutal. The pictures are those collected by photograph expert Jeong Seong-gil over three decades.
Not to go into too much detail, the vividly horrific black and white pictures of atrocities may somehow even explain why Korean people have become so impatient and aggressive. It is a true education of history and alarming enough to spur some patriotism. The museum is located in Jungang-dong and can be reached at (061) 270-8728.
Mokpo people call it the island of love as it is frequented by those in love and families. Shaped like a butterfly, the island is some 6 kilometers away from Mokpo`s mainland.
Aside from the natural beaches along the coastline, the small island also houses a large sea water pool, complete with a large slide. There is also a separate pool for children and a campsite for those opting to stay in a tent. The pools and beaches will be opened from July 4 to Aug. 31 for free.
For those who wish to avoid the crowd and prefer tranquility, reserve a room at Hanok minbak (pension) on the southern side of the island during low season - not summer. It has the beautiful architecture of Korea`s traditional houses, and is fully equipped with modern facilities. Right in front of the pension is a beautiful turquoise beach of Oedaldo, often shrouded by mist in the morning, creating a gaspingly serene scenery. A clean wooden boardwalk along the coastline of the island is also near the pension. One can also go fishing on the island.
A ferry that can carry up to 195 people and 14 vehicles travels from Mokpo`s terminal to Oedaldo five times every day from 8:30 a.m. It takes about 50 minutes and information can be reached at (061) 244-0522 or (061) 242-1075.
Near Mount Ipam is Mopko`s so-called culture street, which houses eight spacious museums and cultural centers. The wide and well-maintained street gives off a visibly different vibe than the well worn-out corners of Mokpo. It can even be said that this street may represent the future of the city.
There is the Mokpo Natural History Museum that opened in 2004, offering an interesting and educational nature and culture tour.
The Mokpo Ceramic Livingware Museum that opened in 2006 offers a very "cute" exhibition including a showroom for children. The museum is extremely well kept, complete with English descriptions of each presentation, including the process of how Korea`s everyday kitchen evolved through time. One can also enjoy making and decorating one`s own ceramic wares.
Another place worth stopping over is Mokpo`s fisheries market opposite Mokpo Port in Gwang-dong, selling matured skate, salted fish and other dried and fresh fish products.

DT Issues Profit Warning
News Analysis Ray Le Maistre, Editor-in-Chief 1/29/2007
Deutsche Telekom AG (NYSE: DT) has issued a profit warning for 2007, citing an "extremely tough domestic competitive environment" as the main catalyst for the reduced outlook. The news sent DT's share price down by €0.58, more than 4 percent, to €13.59 on the Frankfurt stock exchange Monday morning. (See DT Revises Outlook.)
The German giant says that, while it expects a "moderate increase" in revenues for this year compared with 2006's €61.3 billion (US$79.2 billion), its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) are now expected to be €19 billion ($24.5 billion), down from the previously stated range for 2007 of €19.7 billion to €20.2 billion ($25.4 billion to $26.1 billion).
That also means EBITDA for 2007 is set to be lower than last year, as DT says it's on course to report EBITDA of €19.2 billion to €19.7 billion ($24.8 billion to $25.4 billion) for 2006.
Lehman Brothers analyst Graeme Pearson stated in a research note issued Monday morning that DT's "management had underestimated the rate of traditional access line loss and are having to cut pricing to improve retail market share of broadband." He also notes that mobile pricing is being driven down by "aggressive competition" from the likes of E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH .
But DT plans to fight back. In its domestic market, the carrier is particularly focused on retaining its dominance in the broadband sector. It says it plans to invest heavily in marketing to hold on to its DSL customers, and win some back from the likes of HanseNet Telekommunikation GmbH . DT says it will make better price and performance offers than its competitors, but ask customers to sign up to longer contracts. (See DT Rival Launches IPTV .)
DT also confirmed it will continue its 50-Mbit/s DSL rollout to all planned 50 German cities, though the carrier now says it expects demand for its T-Home triple-play package to "develop more slowly than originally anticipated." Recent media reports have suggested DT halted its deployment of VDSL2 technology because of the cost. (See Alcatel, ECI Land DT Gig, DT Flings Billions at Fiber Access, and Microsoft Wins IPTV Deal at DT.)

This page describes a simple piece of software for creating animations of sky-camera images, which can be viewed using a standard web-browser.
The software requires you to have an interpreter for the Python programming language installed on your computer. This is almost certain to be the case on a Linux/Unix machine. It can be freely-downloaded for a number of platforms, including Linux/Unix, Windows and Mac OS X. You do not need know anything about Python to run the program.
Windows users will need a program such as WinZip for unpacking Linux/Unix tar files.
Download tools-for-animating-sky-camera-images.tar to the directory where you want the software, e.g /home/mst/python-programs (this example directory name will be used below for the purposes of illustrating how to run the program).
You may now delete the original tar file, tools-for-animating-sky-camera-images.tar, although this is not essential. Do NOT unpack or delete the new tar file, create_sky_camera_animation_attachments.tar.
Choose the Extract option, directing the output to a suitable directory, e.g. d:\python-programs (this example directory name will be used below for the purposes of illustrating how to run the program).
Download the required tarred image file(s) from the BADC. You will need to be registered for access to the NERC MST Radar Facility dataset to be able to do this.
Unpack the individual jpg image files from the tar file(s) as described here. You can delete the tar image files after this step, although this is not essential.
The Python program will animate all jpg image files that it finds in a given source directory, source_dir_name (e.g. /home/mst/sky-camera-images on a Linux/Unix machine or d:\sky-camera-images on a Windows machine). Therefore ensure that all files in the source directory are for contiguous time steps. Create a separate directory for each group of images to be animated. The program will ignore all files which do not conform to the standard (jpg) sky-camera image naming convention - including the tar files.
Direct your web-browser to the animation.html file and click on PLAY.
the Python program is run from source_dir_name and using a relative path for program_file_path. Note, in this case, the final '.' in the commands, which denotes the current directory location.
Download sample-sky-camera-animation.tar, following the instructions above for unpacking a tar file on a Linux/Unix or Windows system.
This will automatically generate a sub-directory SAMPLE-SKY-CAMERA-ANIMATION, which will contain all of the files that you need.
Direct your web-browser to the SAMPLE-SKY-CAMERA-ANIMATION/animation.html file and click on PLAY.


Do Utilities Know the Real Value of Solar?
CSP Alliance Executive Director Tex Wilkins believes that if utilities and other load-serving entities (LSEs) saw the value in owning CSP plants with storage, it would grow competition and economies of scale in CSP and its supply chain and drive prices down, just as such competition did in photovoltaic (PV) solar and wind. For CSP … Continue reading Do Utilities Know the Real Value of Solar?
Germany's Grid and the Market: 100 Percent Renewable by 2050?
Most of Germany's pro-Energiewende voices think that Germany will far exceed its 2020 target of 35% clean energy. The Heinrich Böll Foundation, a Green think tank, is definitely among them. It argues that Germany could — with the right policies — go 100% renewable by 2050. But for Germany to do it, argues the report "A European … Continue reading Germany's Grid and the Market: 100 Percent Renewable by 2050?

The fiscal cliff deal helped wind power. But our wind policy is still insane.
It took a lobbying blitz and a little bit of luck, but the wind industry eventually got its hoped-for reprieve in Tuesday's fiscal cliff deal. As part of the bargain, Congress extended a key tax credit for wind energy for another year — at a cost of some $12 billion over 10 years. Not only that, … Continue reading The fiscal cliff deal helped wind power. But our wind policy is still insane.

Q: PHP Class inside class inside class I know this is similar to my last question PHP Static vs Instance
But I didn't want to add it there and confuse that question, I believe it does stand on its own merits as a question
I have three classes Billing Invoice InvoiceItem
The billing class works out the billing and finishes up with the data for the invoice and and array of data from the invoice items $billing and $billingItems
the questions is how do I call the methods needed
In Billing Class
$invoice = new Invoice();
$invoice->createFomBilling($billing, $billingItems);

Do I:
1.
In Invoice Class
public function createFomBilling($billing, $billingItems)
{
    foreach($billingItems as $billingItem)
    {
        $item = new InvoiceItems();
        $item->setDataFromBilling($billingItem);
    }
 }

In InvoiceItem Class
public function setDataFromBilling($billingItem)
{
    $this->item1 = $billingItem->item1;
    $this->item2 = $billingItem->item2;
    $this->item3 = $billingItem->item3;
    $this->item4 = $billingItem->item4;
    $this->item5 = $billingItem->item5;
    $this->save();
 }

OR
2.
In Invoice Class
public function createFomBilling($billing, $billingItems)
{
    foreach($billingItems as $billingItem)
    {
        $item = new InvoiceItems();
        $item->item1 = $billingItem->item1;
        $item->item2 = $billingItem->item2;
        $item->item3 = $billingItem->item3;
        $item->item4 = $billingItem->item4;
        $item->item5 = $billingItem->item5;
        $item->save();
    }
 }

this way i do it all in the invoice class and i dont write code in the invoiceItem class
Any ideas

Postcards from Scotland event at the OU Edinburgh, 25 June 2013
'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.' Margaret Mead, anthropologist
5.30 -7.30 pm at the Open University, 10 Drumsheugh Gardens
Edinburgh, EH3 7QJ
Scotland is faced with a referendum in 2014 on independence and it's widely accepted that there is not enough debate on the type of country we want to become or how – with or without independence - we could deal with some of the large-scale economic, employment, environmental and health challenges facing us.
The Centre, in conjunction with Argyll Publishing, is aiming to encourage such debate by publishing a series of short, accessible books – Postcards from Scotland. The first three titles appeared in November 2012.
The forth, Scotland's Local Food Revolution, by Mike Small, came out in June 2013
At this Centre event you heard short talks from four of the series' authors: Professor Phil Hanlon, Carol Craig, Alf Young and Mike Small. You also learned about the underlying rationale for the books, our hopes and aspirations for the series and forthcoming titles. There was also an opportunity for questions and discussion.
The event was free but early booking was essential.
For more information please go to Postcards from Scotland website
Books were available for sale at the event.

…no matter what is written in the governor's fiscal plan and no matter what privatization laws have been introduced, it is still possible for Puerto Ricans to successfully resist the shock doctrine.
When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, Puerto Ricans almost immediately began worrying about disaster capitalists swooping in to buy up beleaguered public utilities and damaged beachfront property on the cheap. Naomi Klein visits Puerto Rico six months after Hurricane Maria to see how the government and investors are taking advantage of the disaster — and how teachers, farmers, community organizers and others are working towards their own vision of the future of the island. The post-Hurricane Maria recovery is seized by one overarching question: Who is Puerto Rico for: islanders or wealthy outsiders?
The full article is included below.
"The Battle for Paradise" featureed Intercept Senior Correspondent Naomi Klein, UPROSE Executive Director Elizabeth Yeampierre, Democracy Now! co-host Juan González, as well as Edwin Morales, vice president of the Puerto Rico Teachers Federation, and Katia R. Avilés-Vázquez, Ph.D., a member of Organización Boricuá de Agricultura Ecológica. Betsy Reed, editor-in-chief of The Intercept, will introduce the event.
This discussion was co-hosted by UPROSE, the Climate Justice Alliance, Haymarket Books, and "Our Power Puerto Rico" campaign.
Naomi Klein's book, "The Battle for Paradise: Puerto Rico Takes on the Disaster Capitalists" is now available for sale in both English and Spanish — and all royalties from its sale will go to JunteGente, a group of Puerto Rican organizations advancing a fair recovery for Puerto Rico.
Naomi Klein The Intercept March 20 2018, 11:30 a.m.
Arturo Massol-Deyá, a bearded biologist and president of Casa Pueblo's board of directors, took me on a brief tour of the facility: the radio station, a solar-powered cinema opened since the storm, a butterfly garden, a store selling local crafts and their wildly popular brand of coffee. He also guided me through the framed pictures on the wall — massive crowds of people protesting open-pit mining (a pitched battle Casa Pueblo helped win); images from their forest school where they do outdoor education; scenes from a protest in Washington, D.C., against a proposed gas pipeline through these mountains (another win).
The community center was a strange hybrid of ecotourism lodge and revolutionary cell. Settling into a wooden rocking chair, Massol-Deyá said that Maria had changed his sense of what's possible on the island. For years, he explained, he had pushed for the archipelago to get far more of its power from renewables. He had long warned of the risks associated with Puerto Rico's overwhelming dependence on imported fossil fuels and centralized power generation: One big storm, he had cautioned, could knock out the whole grid — especially after decades of laying off skilled electrical workers and letting maintenance lapse.
Puerto Rico residents marched against austerity and the Oversight Board on May 1 in San Juan. Bloomberg News [Photo added by Rise Up Times]Yarimar Bonilla, a Rutgers University associate professor who had been conducting a major research project on Puerto Rico's debt crisis before Maria hit, told me there is no way to understand the post-Maria shock doctrine strategy without recognizing that Puerto Ricans "were already in a state of shock and severe economic policies were already being applied here. The government had already been whittled down and people's expectations for the government had already been very much whittled down." By early 2017, she pointed out, parts of San Juan looked very much like they had been hit by a hurricane — windows were broken, buildings were boarded up. But it wasn't high winds that did it; it was debt and austerity.
The same desperate circumstances have forced hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans to make the wrenching decision to simply disappear from the island. They vanish daily onto planes headed for Florida and New York and elsewhere in the mainland United States. Many of them have had the direct help of FEMA, which built what the agency called an "air bridge," airlifting people off the island and boarding others onto cruise ships. Once on the mainland, they were provided with funds to stay in hotels (supports set to expire on March 20).
That's why Martínez is convinced that no matter what is written in the governor's fiscal plan and no matter what privatization laws have been introduced, it is still possible for Puerto Ricans to successfully resist the shock doctrine. Especially if the pre-storm coalitions rebuild and expand.
'The Battle for Paradise … Puerto Rico takes on the Disaster Capitalists'.

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning September 14th, 2020
Good Saturday morning to all of you here on wallstreetbets. I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and is ready for the new trading week ahead.
Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning September 14th, 2020.
Investors will look to the Fed to soothe the market next week, but that may be a tall order - (Source)
Markets are looking to the Federal Reserve to be a soothing force when it meets in the week ahead, but stocks could remain choppy if the central bank disappoints and as investors focus on the election and the economic recovery.
The Fed's two-day meeting is expected to end Wednesday with minor tweaks to its statement and some clarity on how it plans to use forward guidance. The Fed also updates its economic and interest rate outlook, including forecasts for 2023 for the first time.
But Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at Prudential Financial, said the stock market could easily be disappointed because the Fed is unlikely to offer more clarity on monetary policy, such as plans for bond buying.
"The market is concerned the Fed is not going to give us explicit readings on their plans for monetary policy,″ she said. The Fed's extraordinary policies have been an important factor behind the stock market's 50% surge from the March 23 low, and it's also seen as a major factor limiting the depth of the market's sell-off.
Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group, said the Fed is not likely to tweak much and it continues to buy $80 billion a month in Treasurys. "I don't think they'll do anything to the markets either way," he said.
Stocks were volatile in the past week, falling hard, rallying, falling and rallying again. That left the S&P 500 with a weekly decline of about 2.5%, its worst week since June. The harder hit Nasdaq was down about 4.1% for the week, its worst weekly decline since March. The quadruple expiration of options and futures at the end of the coming week could add to the volatility.
Bank of America strategists said the bond market is watching the Fed for any balance sheet adjustments and the changes to its forward guidance, which includes the Fed's recent tweak in its inflation policy. The Fed changed its policy of focusing on a target inflation rate to an average rate, meaning it may not tighten policy if inflation overshoots its 2% target.
"We see risk the rates market is underwhelmed by the guidance provided by the Fed, which would support higher back-end rates and a steeper curve," the Bank of America strategists noted. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield slid in the past week, touching 0.67% Friday, and it could move higher, meaning bonds may sell-off, if the Fed does not clarify policy around its bond buying program.
Krosby said the stock market is hoping for a dovish Fed. "The market needs that now because fiscal policy is going nowhere," she said.
BTIG strategist Julian Emanuel said the market could focus on the fact that Congress failed to make headway on fiscal stimulus, if the economic data begins to disappoint.
Retail sales for August are expected Wednesday morning, as the Fed meets. They are expected to rise by 1%, and that should be an important look at whether the lack of enhanced unemployment benefits, which expired July 31, impacted consumer spending. Among other things, Republicans and Democrats could not agree how to replace the $600 weekly payment to the unemployed.
"Depending on the polls and the economic data, the probability of stimulus rises and falls," said Emanuel, head of equity and derivatives strategy.
"Our view is that next week is just going to be lots of back and forth with the potential for a further extension of the range for the downside, if the political narrative gets more inflamed," said Emanuel. Emanuel expects the market to remain choppy and fall further into the month of October, as investors worry about the uncertainty around the presidential election.
The Fed's meeting this week is its last before the election, and analysts expect Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to sound reassuring that the Fed will do whatever it takes to support the economy. Powell holds a briefing after the meeting Wednesday, and he is expected to also be asked about the potential for higher inflation. The Fed has said it is more concerned about disinflation, but recent inflation data has been hotter than expected, though still well below 2%.
"There is a tug of war between those who say buy chips now because inflation is moving higher, versus those why are saying deflationary forces are still weaving their way into the economy," said Krosby.
Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex, said he expects the Fed to sound reassuring but it's not likely to discuss a target for bond purchases or the yield curve controls some investors were hoping for. Yield curve control would mean the Fed would try to manage interest rates by targeting its purchases of specific Treasurys. For instance, it may focus on trying to keep longer duration yields lower, and buy the 10-year.
Chandler also noted the Fed's $7 trillion balance sheet has recently declined by about $100 billion from its peak, and its bond purchases are falling behind the European Central Bank.
"My sense is the Fed is going to keep saying it's not worried about inflation. Its bigger worry is downside risks. They'll repeat their call for fiscal stimulus which after this week seems less likely," he said.
Chandler said the stock market could remain choppy in the coming week, but he does not expect a sharp selloff. The dollar could decline, if the Fed sounds dovish, and that is a positive for stocks.
"I don't think a 10% pullback [in Nasdaq] has caused enough pain to have people capitulate. This is just an ordinary correction, and we're going to make new highs," he said.

Election Charts You Need To See: Part 1
First off, our thoughts go out to everyone who was impacted by the tragic events of September 11, 2001—19 years ago today. It is a day to reflect and remember those who were lost.
One of the top requests we've had here at LPL Research is for more charts on the election. Over the next week, we will share some of our favorite charts on this very important subject.
Here's how the S&P 500 Index performs under various presidents and congressional makeups. The best scenario has historically been a Democratic president and Republican Congress, while a Republican president and Democratic Congress has been the weakest.
Building on this, a split Congress historically has been one of the best scenarios for investors.
The best scenario under a Republican president is a split Congress, a potential positive for 2020 that has played out after the massive reversal in the stock market since March.
Looking at the four-year presidential cycle shows that stocks haven't been down during a year the president was up for a re-election since FDR in the 1940s, another bullish tailwind for 2020.
Here's another look at this, as stocks historically have done much better when there isn't a lame duck president.
Active Managers Do an About Face
The National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM) has an index which tracks the exposure of its members to US equity markets. Each week, members are asked to provide a number that represents their exposure to markets. A reading of -200 means they are leveraged short, -100 indicates fully short, 0 is neutral, 100% is fully invested, and 200% indicates leveraged long. Two weeks ago, in our Bespoke Report, we highlighted the fact that the exposure index had moved to one of the highest levels in its 15-year history. Now, just two weeks later, these same active managers have reigned in their exposure considerably as this week's reading dropped from just under 100 to 53.1.
This week's drop was the second-largest one week decline in the index's history and just the 10th time that the index lost more than a third (33 points) in a single week. The most recent occurrence was back in early March in the middle of the Covid crash, and every other prior period where the index saw a similar drop, the S&P 500 was also down every time by an average of 2.3%. Therefore, it's not much of a surprise to see the big drop this week given the big declines in the market. But what about going forward? Do big drops in the NAAIM Index mean a bounce back for markets or further declines?
The Most and Least Heavily Shorted Stocks in the Russell 1,000
Below is an updated look at the most heavily shorted stocks in the Russell 1,000. Each of these 30 stocks has at least 15% of its equity float sold short.
At the top of the list is Nordstrom (JWN) with 38.66% of its float sold short. With a YTD decline of 61.86%, the shorts have crushed it with JWN this year.
With its huge portfolio of office and retail real estate, Brookfield Property REIT(BPYU) has the second highest short interest in the Russell 1,000 at 33.7%. BPYU is down 35.7% YTD.
There are plenty of other well-known companies on the list of the most heavily shorted stocks. Examples include American Airlines (AAL), Virgin Galactic (SPCE), LendingTree (TREE), Wayfair (W), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), ADT, TripAdvisor (TRIP), Beyond Meat (BYND), and Kohl's (KSS).
One name that is no longer on the list of most shorted stocks is Tesla (TSLA). When we provided an update on short interest back in February (a pre-COVID world), Tesla (TSLA) had more than 17% of its float sold short, but that number is all the way down to 8.3% as of the most recent filing.
These 30 stocks with the highest short interest are down an average of 3.01% since last Wednesday (9/2) when the S&P 500 made its last closing high. That's actually a little bit better than the 3.55% average decline for the rest of the stocks in the Russell 1,000. And year-to-date, these 30 stocks are up an average of 0.60% versus an average gain of 0.81% for the rest of the index. That's not much of a difference!
Below is a list of the 30 least shorted stocks in the Russell 1,000 as a percentage of equity float. None of these stocks have more than 0.71% of their float sold short, and they're mostly made up of more conservative names in the Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) has the lowest short interest as a percentage of float in the Russell 1,000 at just 0.36%. Microsoft (MSFT) -- one of the key mega-cap Tech names -- has the second lowest short interest, followed by Merck (MRK), Eli Lilly (LLY), and Medtronic (MDT).
Somewhat surprisingly, Amazon (AMZN) is the sixth least shorted stock in the entire Russell 1,000. While AMZN is still thought of as a high-flying momentum name by many investors, its short interest levels tell a much different story, painting it as more of a non-cyclical stock like Pepsi (PEP), Procter & Gamble (PG), or Coca- Cola (KO).
While the 30 most heavily shorted stocks in the Russell 1,000 are up 0.60% YTD, the 30 least shorted stocks in the index are up much more at +8%. This group has MSFT, AMZN, HD, and AAPL to thank for that strong performance!
5 Lessons Learned About Rising Rates
While the direction of the 10-year Treasury yield over the last cycle was decidedly lower, as shown in LPL's Chart of the Day, there were still six extended periods where it rose at least 0.75%, and in two of those it rose almost 2%. Looking ahead, economic growth below potential, slack in the labor market, and an extremely supportive Federal Reserve (Fed) may limit rate pressure in the near term, but with interest rates already low and massive stimulus in place, we believe the overall direction is likely to be higher.
"Even in a falling rate period there are lessons from the last cycle about rising rates," said LPL Financial Chief Investment Officer Burt White. "Among them: Careful when the Fed stops buying and sometimes the best defense is a good offense."
While every economic cycle is unique, the last cycle highlighted these key takeaways about periods of rising rates:
Careful when the Fed stops buying. The two drivers of rising rates last cycle were economic growth and Fed bond purchases, also known as quantitative easing (QE). The Fed buys bonds to keep rates down, but the start of Fed buying has actually been the time when rates rise—likely on expectations that the purchases would help strengthen the economy. These periods also often followed large rate declines either because markets anticipated the start of Fed buying or the economy was faltering. The takeaway: unless the economy is really taking off, any rising-rate period may pause for an extended period, or even reverse, when the Fed backs off bond purchases.
Sometime the best defense is a good offense. Lower-quality, more economically sensitive bond sectors actually performed well during periods of rising rates during the last cycle. Rate gains were largely driven by economic improvement rather than a large pick-up in inflation, and that's typically a good environment for sectors like high-yield bonds and bank loans. The downside is that these are much riskier bond sectors and don't provide the potential diversification benefits of higher-quality bonds during periods of stock declines.
Don't expect TIPS to provide much resilience because of their inflation adjustment. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are high-quality bonds that have provided a little extra insulation against rising rates compared to similarly dated Treasuries when inflation expectations increased. TIPS prices are adjusted for inflation, but even with the adjustment, they are still very sensitive to rates.
Investment-grade corporates can both hurt and help. If credit spreads narrow when rates are rising, investment-grade corporates can post some solid gains in a rising-rate environment, but if spreads are holding steady or even widening, they can be very sensitive to changes in Treasury yields, potentially (although not often) even more sensitive than Treasuries.
Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) have not provided as much insulation as corporates, but they also have had less downside. While MBS have certainly outperformed Treasuries during periods of rising rates, they have not performed as well as investment-grade corporates. But they also have come with less downside, losing only 1.4% in their worst performing period compared to a 4% loss during the worst period for corporates. With the Fed still providing strong stimulus and economic growth potentially poised to accelerate, we currently see an increased risk of rates moving higher. We are playing some offense with our equity exposure, which allows us to emphasize a focus on higher-quality bonds. Among bond sectors, we are emphasizing MBS and still prefer investment-grade corporates over Treasuries. History may not repeat, but if it rhymes, this positioning may help add resilience to a fixed income portfolio if rates extend their move off recent lows.

Best and Worst Performing Stocks Since the 9/2 High
Since the S&P 500 and Nasdaq peaked on September 2nd, we've seen rotation out of the post-COVID winners and rotation into laggards in the value space. Below we take a look at the best and worst performing stocks in the Russell 1,000 since the 9/2 high for the S&P. For each stock, we also include its YTD total return and its percentage change from the 3/23 COVID Crash low through 9/2.
Capri Holdings (CPRI) is up more than any other stock in the Russell 1,000 since 9/2 with a gain of 17.43%. Even after the recent gains, however, Capri -- the holding company for brands like Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, and Versace -- is still down 52.9% year-to-date.
Only four other stocks are up more than 10% since 9/2 -- Beyond Meat (BYND), PVH, Virtu Financial (VIRT), and Reinsurance Group (RGA). Interestingly, BYND and VIRT are also up big (~80%) year-to-date, while PVH and RGA are both down more than 35% year-to-date.
What stands out the most about the list of winners is that only one Technology stock made the cut -- Sabre (SABR). Most names come from the two consumer sectors including cruise-liners like Carnival (CCL), Royal Caribbean (RCL) and Norwegian Cruise (NCLH), Kohl's (KSS), Williams-Sonoma (WSM), Six Flags (SIX), Foot Locker (FL), and Ralph Lauren (RL). Both UBER and LYFT also made the cut with gains of 6% since 9/2. The 30 biggest winners since 9/2 are still down an average of 20% year-to-date, while the rest of the stocks in the Russell 1,000 are up an average of 1.46% YTD.
While only one Technology stock made the list of biggest winners since 9/2, the sector accounts for two-thirds of the 30 biggest losers over the same time frame. As shown below, since 9/2, the six worst performing stocks in the Russell 1,000 and ten of the worst twelve all come from Tech. Notably, though, these 30 stocks that have all fallen more than 12% since 9/2 are still up an average of 5.6% YTD. Were it not for the horrid YTD performance of the Energy stocks that made the list, the average YTD gain would be even higher.
Typical Early September Weakness Recovers Mid-Month Sells Off Month-End
As of yesterday's close the market was down more than the historical average performance in September. DJIA was down nearly -3.3%, S&P 500 was down -4.8%, NASDAQ was off 7.9%, Russell 1000 was down -5.2% and Russell 2000 lost 3.7%. Today's rally looks like the beginning of a textbook mid-month recovery rally However, the second half of September has historically been weaker than the first half. The week after options expiration week can be treacherous with S&P 500 logging 23 weekly losses in 30 years since 1990. End-of-quarter portfolio restructuring, and window dressing can amplify the impacts of any negative headlines.
