Here's a Geektool command to show the "network distance" to a particular machine on your desktop all the time. I have the distance to my home server in the top left corner of my screen all the time.
Change the value of HOST on the first line to the hostname of the server you want to ping. (Hint for writing your own scripts: use Option-Return to insert a newline).
Switch to the "Colors and font" tab and choose something nice. I use Gill Sans, in white because my desktop backgrounds are usually dark. No frame, no shadow on the window.
Switch to the "Text" tab, turn on drop shadow, select left alignment of text.
On the "Icon" tab, check "Show icon", use the default success and failure icons, and pick the left, centered icon alignment.
Drag the window on your desktop to the top left and you're done.
Update: JAW Software is hosting a more Tiger-friendly version of Geektool. The changes will hopefully make it to the official version soon.

Why is the STOP sign a red octagon?
As you know, a red octagon with a white inscription STOP, it is also a priority sign 2.5, obliges the driver to stop at the stop line, and if it is absent, at the edge of the intersection of the roadway. For the first time, the need for such a sign back in 1900 was spoken by William Phelps Eno, a wealthy native of New England, who thereby tried to cope with the chaos on the roads
Why cars are so taciturn: Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 test
Motors, transmissions, wheels, design - when cars develop in this traditional direction, conscientious and experienced automakers often get masterpieces. But when it comes to electronics and mobile technology, it seems that the auto industry intentionally keeps us in the Stone Age. A vivid example of this is the new Mercedes-Benz CLA 200
Chinese fake under Porsche: now in Russia
The material was prepared by the friendly editors of auto.mail.ru. Auto Mail.Ru has repeatedly told why the Zotye SR9 is called the "85 percent" copy of the Porsche Macan. And there is an explanation for this: Carnewschina portal compared "Chinese" and "German" in detail, and experts from the online publication concluded that Zotye repeats Porsche by 85% on the outside and 95% on the inside. In China,
YERAZ: what did the Yerevan Automobile Plant produce?
The plant was built to increase the production of delivery vans and minibuses RAF-977. The documentation was transferred from Riga to Yerevan, and in 1966 the first ErAZ-762 were assembled, which did not differ from the "rafics" in any way. While the RAF already in the mid-70s switched to the more modern model RAF-2203 "Latvia", archaic buses with rounded shapes continued to be built on YerAZ until 1996! So alm
10 cool sidecar motorcycles
This technology is on the brink of science fiction created by Saban Entertainment specifically for the film "Mighty Morphs: Power Rangers." True, they rode a space bike with rockets only in the movies. Under the motorcycle stroller you can adapt the most unexpected things. For example, an electric car from a children's circuit
LuAZ: unusual models of the Lutsk Automobile Plant
1961, LuAZ-967. TPK, that is, the front-line transporter - an amphibian, the first, not yet civilian model of LuAZ. It was on its basis that non-military SUVs of the Lutsk Plant were developed. 1960, pre-production sample LuAZ-967. 1982, LuAZ-972. Unusual three-axle amphibious terrain. 1998, LuAZ-1901 "Geologist"
Wait: test UAZ "Patriot" with "automatic"
The first acquaintance with the updated UAZ Patriot with automatic transmission was fleeting, like summer in central Russia. But now I am in sunny Baku, where the opportunity appeared to conduct a full-fledged test drive of an SUV. In the capital of Azerbaijan, not only the excellent weather and the beauty of the national parks were waiting for me, but also the program manager of Punch Powerglide Strasburg, Xavier Ekkelo
Lamborghini Aventador SV vs Huracan Performante: drag race
Carwow / YouTube The race was held by Carwow. Lamborghini Huracan Performante is equipped with a 5.2-liter V10 engine capable of delivering 640 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. The Lamborghini Aventador SV, which participated in the race, is equipped with a 6.5-liter V12 capable of producing 750 hp. and 690 Nm of torque
Chasing Power: Superchargers
Set "Inflate your engine yourself" As we wrote in the previous issue, you can increase engine power in the only way - by burning more combustible mixture. This can be achieved in different ways, but the most common ones are an increase in the displacement of the engine or an increase in the supply of the combustible mixture to the cylinders by boosting
The complete history of London taxi: 15 models and more
Bersey Electric Taxi (1897) . The first taxi cars in London were electric. The city was indebted to their introduction by the young, 23-year-old businessman Walter Bersey, who founded London Electric Cab Co and designed special electric cars for use as city cabs. Cars with a 3-horsepower engine could travel up to 75 km between two charges
Lamborghini Rat Rod: Crazy Carbon Fiber Hot Rod
This unusual hot rod, unfortunately, existed only in the form of a computer model, was the result of a dispute between two designers - Pavel Vishnevsky and Jens Slapins. The fact is that there is such an insanely popular video - Rat Rod vs Lamborghini Aventador! Roadkill Episode 5, which has collected more than 50 million views since 2012
Secret Soviet project: nuclear car
In 1949, the Soviet Union became the second country in the world that managed to successfully build and test a model of atomic weapons. On the one hand, this, of course, was a serious success for Soviet scientists and engineers. On the other hand, an equally serious blow to the pride of the Soviet leadership
ECTO-1 Ghostbusters Car: How It Works
The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio was built a little less than a century ago in the same style - the then prevailing streamline modernity. When you walk along its winding streets - and this is the whole city in the city! - you forget about the purpose of your arrival, but only until that second, when two huge Cadillacs with the same ECTO-1 numbers are found around the next corner
Motorcycle ... with a gas turbine engine from a helicopter
For almost a century and a half, engineers have repeatedly tried to replace the internal combustion engines in motorcycles with something. For many years, they tried to implant any power plants, starting from a steam engine and ending with a rotary engine or even an electric motor. But Marine Turbine Technologies resolved this issue radically: it put a turbine from a helicopter in the frame of a motorcycle
How much fuel does the Bugatti Chiron actually consume?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency seems to have just completed the most worthless job. Why measure fuel consumption on a hypercar worth three million dollars and a capacity of 1, 500 horsepower? Are its owners really interested in how much money they will spend on fuel while riding their Bugatti
How a rotary piston engine works: a spectacular movie in slow-mo
Rotary piston internal combustion engines, or Wankel engines, are equipped with a trihedral rotor rotating inside a special profile cylinder. During rotation, each vertex of the triangular piston creates chambers with a variable volume, in which the full cycle of the engine is carried out. Due to the lack of coupling between the working chambers, the engine, with a relatively high specific power, has a very compact size
13 AMO cars: the first Soviet
AMO-F-15 (1924−1927), a car of the first industrial series. It was developed on the basis of the Italian Fiat 15 ter with tangible modifications, since the Fiat 15 ter was produced since 1913 and was out of date by the 1924th order. Note that only the first 10 cars were painted red, but in general all AMO-F-15 were produced in green :) AMO-F-15 (1926), sanitary.
Car ignition: unusual systems
Patent Section Bosch is very active in laser ignition systems and is already taking concrete steps to protect its position in the unborn market. In the fall of 2011, Bosch specialists Werner Herden and Jürgen Raymann patented a system for pre-chamber laser ignition of a gas internal combustion engine, and in February 2012 they filed a patent application for an innovative design of the upper part of the cylinder and piston bottom Inside the cylinder, radio-frequency electrostatic ignition forms four ignition sites.
10 amazing amphibious cars
The production of civilian amphibian cars began back in the 1960s, but then they were not widespread. Nevertheless, many inventors still undertake to create an unusual and stylish car that conquers two elements at once. Introducing the 10 most interesting amphibious cars of recent years! 10.

10 Spanish cars you didn't know anything about
Spain has never been a leader in the global automotive industry. In the entire history of the country, there were hardly more than fifty manufacturing companies, and only Hispanic-Suiza and Seat became truly famous. Nevertheless, we decided to recall several Spanish brands that are now unknown to anyone, but long ago aspired to some place in the global automotive industry
10 best cars to meet the End of the World
Marauder from the South African company Paramount Group is not affordable for everyone - prices start at 500 thousand dollars. On the other hand, you can get at your disposal a natural fortress on wheels, with strong armor and a machine gun on the roof. The best choice to repel an invasion of zombies or embittered raiders
8 legendary American pickups
International Harvester Travelette - the first pickup truck with a double row of seats, 1957. Today, this cabin design does not surprise anyone, but the early trucks were exclusively double or triple. The Travelette was the first pickup with three, and then four doors, and was designed for six passengers
10 Swiss cars: accurate as a watch
Today in Switzerland there are several well-known brands - this is a large military manufacturer of MOWAG plus several other companies that manufacture luxury supercars in small series. In the past, Switzerland also made quite massive cars in quantity. Rinspeed is a legendary company founded in 1979 by Frank Rinderknecht
10 Soviet pickups
VAZ-2101 "Pickup". These machines were not serial in the full sense of the word and were produced on a residual basis. Defective bodies of models 2101, 2102, 2104, 2105 and 2107. There may have been versions of 2103 and 2106, but copies and photographs have not been preserved. Such pickups were made with the help of a banal circumcision of the rear of the body and were widely used for in-plant needs
Twice two: Four-wheel drive
Two-wheel victory Yamaha WR450F 2-Trac is the only mass-produced sports bike with all-wheel drive. For the fourth year in a row, the French racer David Fretigne has achieved fantastic results on this motorcycle during the Dakar rally and on the sandy track in Morocco. In 2005, his "monopoly" on four-wheel drive ended: several more such cars took part in the rally Almost invisible The rear wheel drive of the Yamaha WR450F 2-Trac is a traditional chain drive
By the end of the 20th century, in the developed countries of the world, traffic accidents reached one of the first places in the list of causes of death. But from the turn of the 1980-1990s, the rampant growth of this real epidemic was able to stop. And not only stop, but also turn back - from now on, despite the constant increase in the number of cars, the number of deaths has been falling
Anti-hipster: Chevrolet Tahoe test
Tahoe is available for more than 20 years, but during this time the SUV managed not to lose its "identity", as PR people like to say. Simply put, I remember these double rectangular headlights from the school bench. Now in front of me, the Tahoe is already in its fourth generation, but it is still recognizable
10 US cars: Soviet concepts
NAMI-1 (1927) . The first and only production car manufactured under the name of US. It was developed in 1925 and was the first ever Soviet car of its own design (almost all other Soviet cars until the end of the 1930s were licensed or not quite copies of foreign designs). The car was lightweight, completely made from domestic materials - but in the end it lost to the licensed Ford in the form of GAZ-A
How does keyless entry into a car kill people?
No, the point in this case is not at all that intruders can intercept the radio key signal with the help of simple devices in order to gain access to the car and hijack it. As The New York Times reporters found out, the problem lies in the fundamental principles of the keyless entry system, which supposedly cannot be called intuitive
Ford Bronco Stroppe Baja Edition: Bronco for rally raids
In 1947, the great Henry Ford passed away, and a memorial regatta was held in his memory, but not sailing, but motor. Everyone could participate in the regatta, while Ford itself put up a powerful team with boats equipped with engines of the latest modification. What was the general surprise when the regatta was won by an unknown mechanical engineer Bill Stropp on a boat with a modified Ford engine

The projections of the main and the accessory olfactory bulb in the tree shrew (Tupaia glis) have been analyzed with anterograde degeneration and autoradiographic methods for identifying axonal projections, and with the horseradish peroxidase method for identifying the distributions of neurons from which these projections originate. The cytoarchitectonic features of the paleocortical areas which receive projections from the main and the accessory olfactory bulb have also been described. The efferent projections of the accessory olfactory bulb are distributed to the bed nucleus of the acessory olfactory tract, the medial amygdaloid area, the posteromedial cortical amygdaloid area, and to the caudal portion of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. In contrast, the efferent projections of the main olfactory bulb are distributed to the anterior olfactory nucleus, the tenia tecta, the olfactory tubercle, the pyriform cortex, the anterior cortical amygdaloid area, the posterolateral cortical amygdaloid area, and to the lateral entorhinal cortex. These observations are consistent with the notion that the olfactory system can by divided into at least two major subsystems: one related to the vomeronasal organ and accessory olfactory bulb, and another related to the main olfactory organ and main olfactory bulb. The paleocortical areas receiving olfactory projections have three basic layers: a superficially positioned plexiform layer (layer I), a pyramidal cell layer (layer II), and a polymorphic cell layer (layer III). The projections of both the main and the accessory olfactory bulb terminate in the outer portion of the plexiform layer (sublamina Ia). Sublamina Ia contains the distal segments of dendrites which originate from a heterogeneous population of neurons located in layer II and, to a lesser extent, layer III. Although the efferent projections of the main and the accessory olfactory bulb are segregated, evidence for a more refined topographical organization within these projections was not obtained. However, the distribution of retrogradely labeled neurons in the main olfactory bulb, following injections of horseradish peroxidase into its various paleocortical targets, indicates that the olfactory projections to these areas may not all originate from the same population of cells.


On an October day in 1765 William Gilliland, late of County Armagh, Ireland, took a jaunt from his settlement on the Boquet River, exploring northward along the west shore of Lake Champlain.
His bateau nosed its way up the sandy, twisting mouth of a river to still water below some rapids, from which they could see the lower end of a narrow gorge.
Gilliland is perhaps the first European to discover the great Ausable Chasm, where Atlantic salmon spawned in great numbers to the delight of settlers. Saw mills, grist mills, paper mills, and wheelright shops soon sprung up, powered by the Ausable River's strong currents. Thaddeus Mason made the mistake of building his saw mill below the falls, where the spring floods sent it tumbling toward Lake Champlain.
By the early 1800's, a lucrative logging industry, fueled by the abundant pine forests of the region, saw the basin at the Chasm used as a dunking spot for logs. The giant logs, 80 feet in length, were piled at "rolling banks" along the river during the winter and rolled into the water at flood levels each spring by means of a log slide. Plunging dramatically into the waters, they floated downstream toward Lake Champlain for shipping.
In the 1820's iron ore deposits were found in the Adirondacks. Blacksmiths hammered away at hinges, latches, trammels, pot hooks, trivets, and tongs. Richardson – 1875.
The first of many bridges to span Ausable Chasm, along the old Post Road, was called High Bridge. Immense Norway Pines were laid from bank to bank across the divide. Six stringers, each about 20 inches wide, supported a roadway 12 feet across of heavy cross planks sawed at a nearby mill.
The High Bridge was used until about 1810 when it was replaced by one of sawed lumber between the two falls above the chasm, Rainbow and Alice Falls. Perhaps the last person to use High Bridge was the legendary Max Morgan.
Despite the War of 1812, floods on the Saranac and Ausable rivers, a cholera epidemic in 1832, and the Papineau War in 1838, settlement continued in the hamlet so blessed with natural resources and an abundant power source. When the place became known in 1876 as Ausable Chasm, Joshua Appleyard served as the first postmaster at his store.
In 1876 the AuSable Chasm Horsenail Works began producing two tons of iron nails each day. Water was flumed from the head of the falls to an upright tube four feet in diameter and 53 feet high. As the water fell through the tube, it powered a 20 inch water wheel to produce 100 horsepower.
The nail works closed in the 1890's and Ausable Chasm's industrial days came to an end, but the Chasm's heyday was yet to come.

Scaleup Enabler: a sustainable innovation in cluster building
Engine Shed News
Author: Briony Phillips
Published: 5th September 2019
In June 2017 I began work for Engine Shed as Scaleup Enabler for the West of England. The role was initially a 12-month experiment funded by Business West, The University of Bristol, Engine Shed and the West of England Combined Authority (WECA)/Growth Hub. At the end of the first year, my role was made permanent and evolved to include additional responsibility as an Associate Director for Engine Shed in addition to the scaleup agenda funded by WECA and Engine Shed. And now, a few months into the third year of this work, it is all change again – read on to find out more.
The Scaleup Enabler role was and still is, a first across the nation and it evolved in a market where many others focused their funding on 'scaleup programmes' or to create account management services. In the West of England in 2017 and after a few days with Dan Isenberg (of Babson Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Project fame) courtesy of the Scaleup Institute, Nick Sturge created a compelling and alternative narrative. He convinced and corralled our project partners that the West of England already had a vibrant and growing ecosystem of support for scaling companies and that the real challenge was in identifying the barriers to growth and mobilising the private and public sector to help overcome them.
Hence, the role was an innovation that was only made possible by the vision and the frankly, unrivalled network-building and persuasive powers of Nick Sturge – and the entrepreneurial environment he has created at Engine Shed with the support of The University of Bristol. Nick convened multiple stakeholders to fund the role and then went on to support and challenge me to bring them, and many more stakeholders together around a common vision – to ensure the West of England was the best place to scale a business.
Since the project began, and over the last two years, I have launched the Scaleup Generator website to help entrepreneurs gain access to support, created the Growth Map and designed and hosted the Quarterly Investment Briefing (QIB) events, specifically for the investor community, which has, in turn, contributed to over 65 Bristol Angel Hub applications.
Making an impact?
The work has been varied and busy with multiple agendas – gathering data on the challenges, trialling solutions and influencing or encouraging others to act too. I've helped to build awareness and understanding of this new category of company – the 'scaleup' and I have played a part in helping build awareness of and trying to test and enable solutions to the challenges that they face. In particular, I have spent time on the 'office space challenge' and put the spotlight on the impact that this is having on fast-growth companies; I have told stories of scaling up, and down, and I have helped make the 'access to finance' support more transparent and connected. None of this work would have been possible without the work and support of a wide range of people locally, and the connected and entrepreneurial environment at Engine Shed (thanks to the University of Bristol and all our other partners). If you're interested to read about my activities in more detail, this Achievements of a Scaleup Enabler.pdf of highlights explains what I've been up to, and what I hope I have contributed (so far) to the regional economy.
So, what is next for the Scaleup Enabler?
Throughout this work, I have prioritised some key values in my approach – openness, network-weaving, collaboration, honest-brokering and sustainability (you can read more about the in the Scaleup Yearbook that we published at the end of year 1). And it is with this in mind that I share my news – I will be leaving Engine Shed at the end of October to join Rocketmakers, a team of passionate experts who design, develop and deploy technology for startups, scaleups and corporations. There, I will be Scaleup Lead/Enabler (official title tbc) and will continue to work towards solving the challenges that scaleup businesses face – whether 'access to finance' or 'skills and talent' related. As you would imagine, this has been a difficult decision for me – the Engine Shed and University of Bristol have provided me with a fantastic platform to help in my own small way to 'enable our ecosystem' and I have enjoyed the great privilege of working with some fantastic people, projects, sponsors and friends across the city region.
Just as exciting, perhaps, is that I have been able to find a private sector partner to build on at least some of what I have learned – another example of an Engine Shed experiment demonstrating value and finding a longer-term home.
I will blog again (no doubt more than once) before I start the new chapter at Rocketmakers and will include updates on our plans to help the Scaleup Projects live on and to explain where and how you can remain involved.
In the kind words of Nick Sturge, Founder and Director of Engine Shed "After what will be 2.5yrs of energetic, pioneering and highly impactful work, Briony will be moving on at the end of October this year. Briony has been a valued contributor to our vibrant local ecosystem and she has played a significant role in helping to nurture connections and deliver key projects. I trust you will join me in congratulating Briony on the work that she has done."
For now, you can read more about the work I've been doing over the last 2+ years in Achievements of a Scaleup Enabler.pdfand if you'd like to stay in touch, please connect on LinkedIn or find me on twitter @BrionyPhi1
If you are keen to learn more about the support available for scaling companies in the West of England, please explore scaleupgenerator.co.uk and get in touch with briony.phillips@engine-shed.co.uk as she is our regional Scaleup Enabler. Employed by the University of Bristol, the Scaleup Enabler exists to identify the challenges faced by fast-growth companies and to work across the public and private sector to enable solutions.

REDIFF POLL
DEAR REDIFF
YEH HAI INDIA!
The Rediff Special/ George Iype
If Karachi is the heart of Pakistan, Lahore is the country's soul
"Salaam Walekum," an Immigration Functionary at the Lahore International Airport greets you. An emblem of the Pakistan flag studded on his black suit with green shoulder stripes, he is curt, but polite.
But mark the difference. In India, we have immigration officers. In Pakistan, they have Immigration Functionaries. You get out of the airport to see buses of the Lahore Transport System plying on the roads. Photographs of Kajol and Madhuri Dixit adore the rear wind glasses of most buses. Some of them proudly announce that wedding bells are ringing for Kajol and Ajay Devgan.
But mark the difference. In Delhi you have the Delhi Transport Corporation. In Lahore, they have the Lahore Transport System. The hangover of military rule is still felt in Pakistan. "Democracy is here. But words like functionaries and system are still used in government establishment," says Faiza Hasan, a foreign ministry functionary in Lahore.
When Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee decided to take a ride to Lahore, it sent scribes in Delhi scurrying to the Ministry of External Affairs. The zest to see history being created by Vajpayee and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharief at the Wagah border overpowered the journalists covering mundane politics in Delhi. "We don't want to miss the bus to Lahore," some 250 odd scribes pleaded with the ministry. But as the wish list to accompany the prime minister in the bus shot up, the ministry issued an edict: The prime minister will travel by a bus to Wagah. All journalists will go by an Airbus to Lahore.
If Karachi is the heart of Pakistan, Lahore is the country's soul. Lahore's tree-lined roads, sleek buildings and forts and tombs belonging to the Mughal era make it a replica of Delhi. But the similarity ends there. Life in Lahore would better be compared to Bombay. If Bombay is India's Bollywood, Lahore is Pakistan's Lollywood. Street plays, art festivals, paintings exhibitions, ghazal evenings, educational retreats and almost one Punjabi film release every week, Lahore is brimming with cultural activity.
The city is said to have been founded by Loh, the son of Rama Chandra, the legendary hero of Ramayana. But Lahore reached its peak of glory during the reign of the Mughals especially during the time of Akbar the Great, who made it his provincial capital. Like Delhi, the Mughals endowed Lahore with some of the finest architecture that are preserved in their original grandeur. Delhi's Walled City looks similar to Lahore's Walled City. In both Old Delhi and in Old Lahore, the first attraction is a red-coloured railway station.
The British built New Delhi with double-lane roads, the imposing Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Parliament building and the North and South Block. The British, from 1940 to 1947, also built a modern Lahore by harmoniously combining Mughal, Gothic and Victorian styles of architecture. Thus there stands in Lahore as in New Delhi some majestic buildings like the High Court, Government College, Lahore Museum, National College of Art, Jinnah Library, Tollinton Market, the Old Campus of the Punjab University and the Provincial Assembly.
Drive on the tree-lined Mall Road in Lahore. Zamzama, the mighty cannon, is the most singular attraction on this busy road. Rudyard Kipling in his classic novel Kim immortalised Zamzama. The mighty cannon is still the pride of Pakistanis on this border city. Proof of it is seen in almost every gift shop across the city. Miniatures of this cannon are beautifully arranged in Pace, the huge shopping complex owned by former cricketer Imran Khan. Pace, a local shop-owner says, is the biggest shopping complex in Pakistan. No wonder, then, that Vajpayee's family --daughter Namita, husband Ranjan and grand-daughter Niharika -- chose to shop at Pace. Pace's manager says Niharika picked up a marble Zamzama to gift to Vajpayee.
In fact, Vajpayee had wanted his family wanted to shop at the most popular and busiest Anarkali market where he roamed about during his youth. But Lahore stood standstill during Vajpayee's visit, thanks to the hartal observed by militant Jamaat-e-Islami activists.
The right-wing Muslim fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami in Pakistan is similar to our Shiv Sena. But in aggressiveness and organisational skills, Jamaat activists are superior to Shiv Sainiks. While Shiv Sainiks are known for their militant threats which often go unfulfilled, Jamaat workers carry out their threats. Thus during Vajpayee's visit to Lahore, the city was under siege by Jamaat-e-Islami. Fierce clashes between the fundamentalist Muslims and the police left one policeman dead and hundreds injured. "No one fights for a cause as Jamaat leaders do in Pakistan," says Javad Muzaffar, a local journalist.
The Jamaat-e-Islami believes that in Pakistan's complex social system, religion is the essential ingredient of a political organisation. It says for Pakistan, the ideological, moral and political aspects of the Kashmir dispute are supreme and cannot be sacrificed for material gains. Therefore, unless Kashmir is liberated, Pakistan's plans for economic well being will be a mere illusion.
Some Indian journalists covering the historic Vajpayee-Sharief summit made it a point to go back to their family roots in Lahore. Ashwini Minna, former Ranji Trophy legspinner and now editor-in-chief of the Punjab Kesri group, arrived with a road map of Lahore to discover his old family home. Somewhere in the crowded Anarkali market lies the ancestral house where Minna's grandfather, the late Lala Jagat Narain, founder of the Punjab Kesri group, lived and ran his press. It also housed the Congress office in the undivided Punjab.
After searching at least in a dozen congested bylanes, local residents led Minna to a house, which no longer looks ancient. The huge house had been rebuilt and divided into several families; part of it still houses a government press. For Minna -- like it is for many Indians -- Lahore is home for an emotional reunion.
Across Pakistan's major cities -- Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore -- an exhibition to create communal harmony is taking place. Using photographs of people and buildings that make up Ayodhya where militant Hindus tore down the controversial Babri Masjid in December 1992, the exhibition tries to make Pakistanis understand that Ayodhya is a living city and not the religious battleground it had become. Organised by the New Delhi-based SAHMAT (Safdar Hashmi Memorial Trust), the exhibition is titled Hum Sab Ayodhya The exhibition explores the multi-faceted life of ancient Ayodhya by showing pictures of medieval scrolls and statues of Buddhists, Muslims and Hindus.
It also reminds us that ancient Chinese traveller Fa Hien first documented and gave his account of the city of Ayodhya. As Vajpayee and Sharief strive for bilateral agreements to ease the 51-year old India-Pakistan tension over Kashmir, SAHMAT hopes the exhibition will promote solidarity and result in a moral and religious agreement between Muslims and Hindus and Indians and Pakistanis.
Though Pakistan is an Islamic country, many pious Muslims still keep Hindu traditions intact. One such Muslim is Masrur Sheik, managing director of Creative Technologies Pvt Ltd, a leading computer firm in Pakistan. His company has offices in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore. But his head office still functions from the Sri Rama Building in Karachi. "My father bought this building before Partition. Even after Partition, he kept Sri Ram's name because we believe it was the Hindu god who gave us prosperity," says the young businessman. "I have more Hindu friends than Muslims in Pakistan," he adds. Masrur plans to take his 77-year-old father to Lucknow where some of his Hindu friends had migrated from Karachi in 1947.

Brisbane Roar captain Matt McKay is in line to win his 57th Socceroos cap after being named in a 23-player squad for Australia's 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bangladesh and Tajikistan in early September.
The midfielder is behind only veteran striker Tim Cahill (83 caps) and Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak (59 caps) in national team experience in coach Ange Postecoglou's latest squad.
The selection is a huge boost for McKay and the Roar as they prepare to take on 2015 Hyundai A-League Champions and Premiers Melbourne Victory in a blockbuster pre-season friendly at Southport's Fankhauser Reserve tonight (kick off 7pm).
Tickets ($10/$5) to tonight's match can be purchased by clicking here. All-pre-sales go into the running to win an autographed Roar-Steadfast jersey.
McKay's selection comes just 24 hours after former Roar W-League player Elise Kellond-Knight was one of two Westfield Matildas named in the FIFA Women's World Cup All-Star squad. The other was Sydney FC's Lisa De Vanna.
Kellond-Knight, who was also an All-Star after the previous FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany four years ago, was among the Roar's Magnificent 7 selections in the Westfield Matildas squad at the recent tournament in Canada.
She has since signed a professional contract to play in Germany with FFC Turbine Potsdam.
McKay, 32, said he was delighted to be part of the Socceroos' bid to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
"To keep my place in the Socceroos squad is one of my personal goals this season," he said.
McKay admits his hopes of going to another World Cup will be boosted if the Roar return to winning form this season.
"It will definitely help me if the Roar are doing well so my full focus is on having a good season and helping the boys get back to where we want to be," he said.
Unusually, the Victory have no players in Postecoglou's latest squad following the recent transfer of their captain and Socceroos midfielder Mark Milligan to United Arab Emirates club Baniyas SC.
Postecoglou has welcomed back Asian Cup heroes Robbie Kruse and Massimo Luongo as well as attacking midfielder Tom Rogic for the matches against Bangladesh in Perth on 3 September and Tajikistan in Dushanbe on 8 September.
"It's a positive that we've been able to recall Massimo (Luongo), Robbie (Kruse) and Tom Rogic after they missed recent matches and they add attacking options to the squad for the two matches in Perth and Dushanbe," Postecoglou said.
"All three have regained fitness and started the season in form so they come back in and give us plenty of options and good depth in an attacking sense. When you add them to the likes of Tim Cahill, Mat Leckie,Tomi Juric, Nathan Burns and Tommy Oar the fans in Perth have a lot to get excited about.
Postecoglou has also drafted Aaron Mooy, Adam Federici, Jackson Irvine, Ryan McGowan and uncapped goalkeeper Alex Cisak into the Socceroo squad, which will return to Perth for the first time since 2005.
They replace Oliver Bozanic, Chris Ikonimidis, Daniel de Silva, Ivan Franjic, Eugene Galekovic, Mitch Langerak, Tomislav Mrcela and James Troisi.
"The players we have brought into the squad have all started their respective seasons with some good performances and will get an opportunity to impress while they are in good form and fitness," Postecoglou said.
The squad is: Aziz Behich (Bursaspor, Turkey), Nathan Burns (FC Tokyo, Japan), Tim Cahill (Shanghai Greenland Shenhua FC, China), Alex Cisak (gk) (Leyton Orient FC, England), Jason Davidson (Huddersfield Town AFC, England), Tarek Elrich (Adelaide United FC, Australia), Adam Federici (gk) (AFC Bournemouth, England), Jackson Irvine (Ross County, Scotland), Mile Jedinak (Crystal Palace FC, England), Tomi Juric (Roda JC Kerkrade, Netherlands), Robbie Kruse (TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Germany), Mathew Leckie (FC Ingolstadt 04, Germany), Massimo Luongo (Queens Park Rangers FC, England), Ryan McGowan (Dundee United, Scotland), Matt McKay (Brisbane Roar, Australia), Mark Milligan (Baniyas SC, UAE), Aaron Mooy (Melbourne City FC, Australia). Tommy Oar (unattached), Tom Rogic (Celtic FC, Scotland), Mat Ryan (gk) (Valencia CF, Spain), Matthew Spiranovic (Hangzhou Greentown FC, China), Alex Wilkinson (Jeonbuk Hyundai FC, Korea Republic), Bailey Wright (Preston North End FC, England).

What do you give a great scientist for his birthday when he's already got everything? He's got absolutely all the scientists behind his theory. All the media. All the Officially Smart People, as Jay Richards calls them. Well, today is Darwin's Day, the birthday of the venerated Charles Darwin, whose theory is a fact beyond question. Right? The journal Nature assures its readers, "Scientists can treat evolution by natural selection as, in effect, an established fact." Or as philosopher Michael Ruse wonderfully put it, "Evolution is a fact, fact, FACT!"
The insistence on this point encourages a certain skepticism, though. As others have commented, evolution is supposed to be as certain as gravity, yet nobody goes around saying, "Gravity is a fact, fact, FACT!" and nobody says gravity is as certain as evolution.
Against this backdrop, Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture noted last week that the Scientific Dissent from Darwinism has topped 1,000+ names. Today, over at the Dissent from Darwinism website, we've added a birthday present for Charles Darwin, a video introduction to some of the signers. Check it out!
As I've also pointed out, while that number surely represents a scientific minority, it also no doubt vastly understates the number of Darwin-doubting PhD scientists. When it comes to evolution, persecution is an all too well known fact of academic life. Endorsing Darwinian evolution is the safe careerist move, while questioning it can easily mean the end of your career. So for every signer of the Dissent list, there is some multiplier's worth of private skeptics in science, acting self-protectively. That is beyond reasonable doubt. The multiplier could 2, or 10, or 100. Who knows?
"But scientific truth isn't determined by lists of names, even of people who hold PhDs," protests evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne in response. True! He goes on, "It's determined by the published work of scientists and whether it's accepted by the scientific community." Not quite true! The "scientific community" can be mistaken, dramatically so. See, "How to Think About Minority Science Views - The Case of Plate Tectonics."
Where there's a genuine controversy, as there is about Darwinian theory, anyone in search of truth has no choice but to weigh the evidence for himself. The observation that, beyond doubt, thousands of scientists are skeptical, and that a thousand of them publicly call for further "careful examination" of the question, is one reason every thoughtful adult owes it to herself to consider the evidence without just passively swallowing the majority view.
As John West notes, the consistently poor quality of Darwinist rejoinders to leading skeptics is another reason. The latest skeptic to demonstrate this is Michael Behe, whose new book Darwin Devolves just got a really incompetent pre-publication review from authors Joshua Swamidass, Nathan Lents, and Richard Lenski, writing in Science. How to celebrate Darwin Day? Pre-ordering Professor Behe's book is another fine idea!
Some people's 'evolution' says human evolved from ape/monkey.
The ancient Sumerian texts describe in details, how human was created by Ninki.
Genesis, the first book of the bible, agrees with what the Sumerian texts say.
Genesis was written from the Sumerian texts, corruptions included.
The oldest know fossil was discovered in Kenya, and dated 18,000,000 years old.
How will the sorties between the fossil of 18,000,000 and the ape/monkey be reconciled?
There is no ancient history detailing how human evolved.
There is no history detailing how human evolved.
People with Ph.Ds in what. theology, political science? Not one piece of evidence in this article, just several weak arguments why we should be skeptical. Correct, no one shouts about gravity not being real, but no one understands it either. The evidence for evolutionary theory is overwhelming, and yes there's gaps in the picture and some things not yet understood, but I haven't seen and evidence to date showing it to be false, just some wishful thinking.
tompi I meant "Gravity being real".
tompi We accept as fact Jesus Christ walked on water. Yet there is no history of a Jesus Christ outside the bible.
We accept as fact the world rotates with a linear velocity of 1000 mph at the equator. Yet we see motionless stars at night. Do the math if you can. See the impossibility.
We accept as fact space is a vacuum. Earth is in space, but possess an air pressure of 14.7psi around it. Impossible nonsense.
We had been accepting that the people of the bible were all white, until it was proven that Afruikans wrote the bible.
I could go on with this for quite a while.
What is accepted and evidence is not necessarily the same.
George L What is all this 'we' business?
What 'I' accept as fact and the only thing that 'I' have any truly irrefutable evidence for is that 'I' exist, at least to myself.
I never personally believed in macro evolution to begin but I am looking forward to reading Behe's book. And it's not on account of the serious lack of fossil evidence but, rather because of the law of entropy. I don't think it logical to believe that order can spring from chaos. Even those who adhere to the big bang theory tend to suggest the governing laws of the universe were already present. So should I have faith in a creator or faith in the multiverse? To believe either is to believe that which can not be proven.
tompi Something simple. The oldest known fossil was dated 18,000,000 years old. And discovered in Kenya.
Do you suppose that 'fossil' evolved from the ape or monkey, and none of the two evolved? If either evolved where is the evidence?

New UTSA study finds link between incarcerated parents and their children's health
(May 11, 2017) -- Having an incarcerated parent takes a heavy toll on children's sleep and eating patterns and can disrupt healthy development, according to new UTSA co-authored research.
Published in The Journal of Pediatrics, a new study by Dylan B. Jackson, assistant professor of Criminal Justice with The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) College of Public Policy, and his colleague, Michael Vaughn of Saint Louis University, analyzed data from families involved with the nation's criminal justice system.
"Past research has shown that having a parent behind bars can lead to academic difficulties, behavioral problems and illicit drug use in children," said Jackson, a developmental and health criminologist. "The developmental challenges associated with diet and sleep can now also be added to that list of associated risks."
In the sample that Jackson and Vaughn studied, 12 percent of the mothers and 46 percent of the fathers had experienced incarceration prior to taking a survey about their children's sleep and eating behaviors. The researchers paid particular attention to the sleep and eating behaviors of kindergartners due to the developmental sensitivity of young children.
Children of incarcerated parents are more likely to experience both insufficient sleep and poor nutrition, according to Jackson. The diets of children with incarcerated parents tended to consist of more fast food, sweets, soda and salty snacks, relative to children without a parent in prison. The risks for poor nutrition and sleep were similar whether the incarcerated individual was the mother or the father.
"Children are the often-overlooked collateral consequences of incarceration," Jackson said. "We found that the probability of risky sleep and eating behaviors in children with incarcerated parents is double that of children who have had neither parent incarcerated. This is particularly worrisome, as sufficient sleep and proper eating habits are cornerstones of healthy development in children."
Currently, more than 2.3 million adults are incarcerated in the U.S. Approximately one in every 28 American children has a parent in prison, which makes the findings all the more concerning.
Jackson and Vaughn say their findings may be of particular use to service providers who come in contact with children whose families are involved with the criminal justice system, such as educators and pediatricians. The researchers suggest that service providers proactively identify children of incarcerated parents and takes steps to ensure they are afforded regular opportunities to eat a healthy meal (particularly at school) and obtain adequate sleep.
"We hope that our study can lead to fruitful engagement across policy arenas where the lines between criminal justice, social, public and health policy are blurred," Jackson said. "Our study and findings should make it clear that incarceration impacts not only the parent who is under correctional control, but also has profound and widespread effects on the health and well-being of their offspring."
UTSA is ranked among the top 400 universities in the world and among the top 100 in the nation, according to Times Higher Education.

Man Proposes to Flight Attendant Girlfriend Aboard Plane
Published at 11:54 am on January 2, 2018
Their relationship is taking off.
A SkyWest flight attendant had a surprise announcement to add to his in-flight message to passengers aboard a flight to Oklahoma City last week.
Jon Emerson started off with the usual information, advising about the weather and flight time. But as he introduced the SkyWest staff aboard the plane, he brought out his girlfriend Lauren Michele Gibbs, also a flight attendant.
He told passengers that it was their anniversary, but that the day would also be special for other reasons Gibbs wasn't yet aware of.
At that moment he puts down the PA device, bends down on one knee and proposes to Gibbs. She said yes.
A video of the sky-high proposal was posted on Facebook and now has more than 100,000 views.
"Last night, on a plane, in front of passengers, I got to say the easiest YES of my life to my best friend! It still feels like a dream and I cannot explain how blessed I am to spend forever with Jon," Gibbs posted.
"We are so thankful for our family and friends, and especially thankful for God leading (or flying) us to each other. Sorry to disappoint, but the wedding will not be on a plane!"
She added the hashtag '#LaurenLandedEmerson'.

Image caption A large plume of smoke rose into the sky after the blasts
At least 13 people have been killed in two car bomb attacks near an entrance to the airport in Mogadishu, Somali police say.
Thick smoke could be seen rising from the area, where there is also a base for African Union (AU) peacekeepers.
Local journalists said one of the bombs was detonated by a suicide attacker near a checkpoint. Another blast hit the airport's perimeter wall.
Those killed were believed to include security guards at the checkpoint.
The militant Islamist group, al-Shabab, has said it was behind the blasts and its target was the AU force's headquarters.
Africa Live: More on this and other stories
Who are Somalia's al-Shabab?
The AU mission in Somalia condemned "these senseless attacks that aim to disrupt and cripple the lives of ordinary Somalis".

Image caption One bomb was detonated by a checkpoint, another by the perimeter wall
Al-Shabab has carried out frequent attacks in Somalia, including in Mogadishu, in an attempt to oust the UN-backed government.
The group, which is allied to al-Qaeda, has been pushed out of most of the main towns it once controlled, but analysts say it remains a potent threat.
It has been increasing its attacks ahead of planned elections in Somalia.
Hotels have been attacked by car bombs and then armed assault teams over the past few weeks.
The large airport area in Mogadishu is a secure "green zone" for UN operations, the AU peacekeeping force and foreign embassies.

This Robotruck's Cameras See Twice as Far as Any Lidar
TuSimple's computer vision system can see as far as 1,000 meters—nearly triple the range put forward by most of its competitors, and a compelling answer to one of self-driving's most dastardly problems.TuSimple
Alex Davies
TuSimple's computer-vision-wielding truck drives like a champion—until a system freeze cuts a test-drive short.
We're heading southeast on Interstate 10, headed into Tucson, Arizona, when we pass the group of men in orange jumpsuits and hard hats working on the side of the highway. "Inmates Working," the sign on the back of the truck parked on the shoulder says. It's the sort of sight that can generate a swirl of curiosity, pity, and distaste in a person, but the robot doesn't register anything about who these men are. It's thinking about that parked truck and the rule buried in its code that says when it senses something on the shoulder, it's supposed to clear out of the right lane. Checking it has plenty of room, it makes a quick juke to the left, pulling its 18 wheels and four human passengers over the dashed white line.
This lane change is just one of a variety of impressive maneuvers TuSimple's self-driving truck executes during a 40-minute demo ride I took with the company's CTO, Xiaodi Hou, on a sunny Friday morning last month. Between a smooth merge onto the highway and an easy exit, it cruised steadily, adjusting its speed and position as necessary to accommodate its human-piloted neighbors.
Powering the impressive showing are the sensors studded around the truck, including two lidar laser scanners and a forward-facing radar. The key to the system, though, is the handful of cameras looking forward, to the side, and to the back. In an increasingly crowded robo-trucking field, TuSimple's bid to stand out hinges on those cameras, which Hou says let the vehicle see as far as 1,000 meters ahead—nearly triple the range claimed by by most of its competitors. With them, Hou is attempting to solve one of the most dastardly problems facing engineers who are trying to make vehicles that drive themselves.
The WIRED Guide to Self-Driving Cars
Hou has been working on computer vision since he was a graduate student at CalTech. After earning a PhD in the subject in 2014, the Beijing native fled academia ("more and more politics") and started a company that applied computer vision to online advertising. That soon flopped, and he refocused his skills on autonomous trucking, founding TuSimple in September 2015. The company has headquarters in San Diego and Beijing, and a testing facility outside Tucson, benefitting from Arizona's sunny weather and light regulatory touch.
While operating robots in cities remains an uncracked problem, putting them on the highway is a lighter lift. "Trucking is a relatively narrow scenario," Hou says. Since big rigs spend nearly all their time on the highway, they don't have to worry much about how to navigate through complex urban scenarios, with their intersections and pedestrians and cyclists. "And it has a lot of potential to go to extremely high reliability," he adds.
If, that is, the vehicle can make proper sense of its surroundings. Perception is likely the hardest part of self-driving, and in recent years, lidar has been seen as the top tool for the job. That laser-based system, though, has a limited range—the most powerful systems can detect objects out to 250, maybe 300 meters.
TuSimple expects to have its software functionally ready by the end of 2019, with a production launch not much longer after that.
TuSimple
Cameras have the promise to see much farther and don't have the same finicky hardware and high costs that beleaguer lidar developers. They are more reliable, see farther, and offer excellent resolution but come with their own challenge. It's difficult for a computer to convert the 2D data they generate into a 3D understanding of the world. Writing the software that can distinguish shadows and reflections from real objects, or see where one object ends and another begins, is a brutally tricky task. Whether anyone can accurately use cameras to do things like distinguish between a traffic turtle and a human being about to cross the street remains unclear. But Hou, at least based on the demo drive I took with him, has managed to make cameras work for the far less complex problem of rolling down a highway and picking out what's what.
As we roll into central Tucson, I-10 gets complicated. It expands to four lanes, which branch off onto different highways. The rate at which cars are moving onto and off the freeway ticks up. The TuSimple truck, though, keeps its composure. I'm sitting in the back of the cab, with Hou to my left. To my right is a minifridge-sized black box with cables running out of it—it holds the servers turning those camera feeds into computer-friendly data. As a safety driver sits behind the wheel and a TuSimple engineer rides shotgun, Hou shows me what his truck can see. On the monitor mounted between us, the system identifies other vehicles in a Skittles-y sprinkle of colors (assigned at random). It shows how far away each of them is and how fast they're going relative to the truck, which is rumbling along at 65 mph. Like an experienced human driver, the truck uses that data to inform its decisions. It decelerates to let slowish cars merge onto the highway ahead of it. It slides over for emergency vehicles. It safely passes slowpokes.
Cameras that see things 1,000 meters away are a bit of overkill, partly because it's almost never possible to see that far without other vehicles or a turn in the road blocking your view. (At one point, though, the system detects a vehicle about 900 meters away, on an uphill straightaway.) The value of seeing past the 300-meter mark, however, is manifest. At 65 mph, you cover 300 meters in 10 seconds. That's not much time for a lumbering truck to register a crash, lane closure, or stopped firetruck, make the decision to brake or change lanes, and execute it. Triple how far you can see, and you get a luxurious 30 seconds to make the move.
VCs already recognize the value of Hou's vision—they've invested $83.1 million in TuSimple, according to Crunchbase. Now the company is building relationships with the shippers, truck fleets, manufacturers, and industry suppliers who will make putting its tech on the road possible. It hopes to have its software functionally ready by the end of 2019.
The demo drive also, however, makes clear there's work to be done. After 40 minutes of, uneventful robo-driving, a computer voice interrupts our conversation: "Autonomous driving off." Without my noticing it, the safety driver has retaken control. "I've got a freeze on my visual," he tells Hou. "I shut it down for safety." A network card in that server box next to me disconnected, likely due to the truck's vibration, freezing the system's human-machine interface and blocking the bit that does the motion planning from the bit that executes its commands.
And so this flesh-and-bones human holds the wheel and works the pedals for the next 20 minutes, taking us off the highway and back to TuSimple's garage. The computer crash mars what started off as a very impressive ride, but hey, there are worse kinds of crashes.

SQLcl Alias Example For Dropping Multiple Objects.
SQLcl allows you to define "named" scripts or statements using the ALIAS command.
Jeff has a neat example on his blog.
I created the following alias to make it really easy to destroy a database! drop objects.
Dropping tables, views, procedures is a daily occurrence for database developers.
A script is written with all the objects listed. The list of objects can be reviewed and an option to execute the script or cancel without dropping anything is provided.
Needless to say you can do a lot of damage dropping database objects and this makes it very easy to do so. So use at your own risk! Best to grab the alias code below and see if you can tweak it to suit yourself.
I expanded on this idea to make a more generic alias.
The mod alias allows you to specify the what kind command is defined around the chosen objects.
CTAS on a bunch of tables you created in the last hour?
The ALIAS rm automatically creates a script with the DROP statements called sqlcl_rm_script.sql.
Its reasonable to invoke the alias, then not run commands directly. Instead cancel and edit the sqlcl_rm_script.sql or sqlcl_mod_script.sql.


Three British teenagers radicalised by Islamic State propaganda run away from home to serve on the Jihadi front line in Raqqa.
Back in England their disbelieving families are caught up in a media storm and struggle to make sense of the inexplicable actions of their children.
The British teenagers very quickly realise that life in The Caliphate isn't at all what they were led to expect. Terror and danger lurk in every corner and as the reality of their situation begins to sink in they find themselves facing choices they could never have imagined.
Frustrated by the inaction of the British Government one of the teenager's parents takes direct action and hires ex-military man Daniel Hunter to get the children home safely.
Daniel Hunter is a man with a past and a reputation for getting the job done but this mission is going to need some very special skills so Hunter calls in some favours and teams up with legendary special forces operative Sal Osman.
With his trademark single-mindedness Hunter heads into the heart of The Caliphate determined to complete his mission but finding the kids is one thing, persuading them they want to come back home is quite another.

Chicken Salad Chick opens Tuesday in North Naples with 15 different kinds to try.
Each chicken salad is personalized with a different name from a 'chick' important in the life of Stacy Brown, who founded the Alabama-based chain in 2008. For instance, her daughters are honored with Olivia's Old South and Luau Lydia, while female friends, neighbors, college roommates and associates are namesakes for other varieties.
It all started with Classic Carol, the signature recipe developed by Brown in her quest for the perfect chicken salad. Starting with this original base made from chicken pulled from white meat tenders, other varieties are made with the addition of fruits, vegetables, bacon, cheese, nuts, or spices.
'We just feel that if you can get them to taste it, you've got them,' said Michael Carter, a partner in the chain's first franchise in Southwest Florida.
A five-member investment group plans at least a half dozen more locations in Collier and Lee counties, Carter said.
'We think there's room for six to eight stores — six for sure,' he said, adding that the next location for Chicken Salad Chick probably will be in the Fort Myers area.
In addition to Classic Carol, the chain's most popular chicken salad option is Fancy Nancy, which is dressed up with Fuji apples, pecans and seedless grapes. Jazzy Julie, a spicy mixture of cayenne pepper, bacon and shredded cheddar cheese, also is a favorite, Carter said.
'Luau Lydia seems to be big here,' he said. Inaugural charity events last weekend showed that the tropical blend of pineapple and macadamia nuts was a popular choice.
Chicken salad is served as a sandwich or scoop, with side items, pickle spears and cookies of the day.
The franchise also features other Southern traditions such as pimento cheese and sweet tea, and even provides deli sandwiches — turkey hoagies, Cajun roast beef and Virginia ham — 'for those who have been dragged here by a chicken salad lover and are refusing to try something new.' The menu's side items include soups, broccoli, pasta and grape salads, fresh fruit and potato chips.
Chicken Salad Chick offers dine-in and carryout service as well as catering. Each chicken salad and side item also is sold by the pound and the catering menu features specialty platters, executive box lunches and beverages by the gallon.
The new restaurant completely transformed the former Saladworks location between Publix and Firehouse Subs in Riverchase Plaza on the northeast corner of U.S. 41 and Immokalee Road. The cozy space looks as if it is more of a mom-and-pop eatery rather than a typical fast-casual dining chain.
'Our culture is fun and inviting and warm and homey,' Carter said. 'We try to create that with our employees. We want it to be light. We want it to be friendly.'
Chicken Salad Chick, 11180 U.S. 41 N., is open 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. The restaurant is closed Sundays. For information, call 239-431-5678 or go to chickensaladchick.com.
Grand opening specials
During grand opening week, guests will enjoy Southern hospitality through giveaways and specials at the new Chicken Salad Chick restaurant:
Tuesday, May 17 – Meet the Chicks Day: The first 100 guests to order will receive a "Meet the Chicks" punch card. For 16 weeks, guests can try one free scoop of the chicken salad 'flavor of the week,' allowing guests a tour of every Chicken Salad Chick flavor. In addition, guests will receive one free cookie with the purchase of any Chick Trio.
Wednesday, May 18 – Healthcare Professional Day: The first 200 guests will receive a free Chicken Salad Chick hand sanitizer.
Thursday, May 19 – Tee Time Thursday: The first 100 guests will receive a complimentary Chicken Salad Chick Golf Ditty Pouch.
Friday, May 20 – Fitness Friday: The first 100 guests will receive a free Chicken Salad Chick bottle cooler.
Saturday, May 21 – Family Fun Day: The first 100 guests will receive a complimentary Chicken Salad Chick koozie.

« Even 'diversity educators' can't take the snowflakes complaining about 'microaggressions' | Liberal rabbis and Donald Trump »
A red northeast?
By Monica Showalter
Something Salena Zito is saying is likely something important.
The prescient New York Post columnist and geographic reporter thinks New England and parts of the bluest northeast are turning red.
Last November, while most of the country was either cheering Donald Trump's presidential win or making an appointment with their therapist about how to cope with the results, New Englanders in four out of the region's six "blue" states — Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine — woke up the next morning with four Republican governors.
Meanwhile, the ultrablue city of Erie in northwest Pennsylvania is in a tight race for mayor, and for the first time in decades, may see a result that could turn the city red, too. It seems connected to the ongoing red revolution she describes from her travels. With four of the six regional governorships already held by popular Republicans, "The media is missing the Republican takeover of New England," she wrote.
Do not forget that New Hampshire probably already did go red in the 2016, given that the election was almost certainly stolen by out-of-state voters.
Zito is worth heeding because she is strikingly insightful about the Trump phenomenon, and the shifting political currents that are buffetting the U.S. and perhapss the world in this political era of change. She was one of the few who were not surprised by the 2016 election result. She comes to these observations and conclusions not by talking with Beltway consultants, activists or lobbyists, but by going out into the land, listening and speaking with genuine Americans, watching their moves and hearing their preoccupations - these are the people who have been ignored for decades by the Washington swampland. One of her most vivid observations during the 2016 election cycle was from her reporting in the ignored areas of Pennsylvania - she reported scores and scores of flags and Trump signs on front lawns out in the podunks no one else ever visited - and suggested it meant something.
Now she's noting the changes in New England and other parts of the bluest northeast.
If that's the case, it's fascinating to speculate as to the reasons, looking at the geographic and economic bases, as well as the political. Could it have been the shale boom in western Pennsylvania driving it? The prospect of economic activity, the pioneering into the unknown, and the earned prosperity that is rolling in in that region for the first time in decades? Is it political exhaustion at decades of one-party rule and the ruinous policies? Perhaps. And if America is largely urban and rural in sensibility, could the reforestation of New England be restoring some of the region's traditional self-sufficiency and rural (or perhaps frontier) sensibility? Could the fading of the Kennedys have something to do with it? These are markers to consider as one ponders why the region is following the Midwest and beginning to turn, like the autumn leaves, red Republican.


In the wake of the condemnable terror attack in New Zealand on Friday 15 March, the British Pakistani Christian Association held a peace vigil at Ilford Town Hall to commemorate those who were heartlessly taken too soon.
In the early afternoon of Friday peace was disrupted in Christchurch as Brenton Tarrant descended on two mosques in the ordinarily quaint streets of Christchurch. The justification for the attack can be found in his crazed 73 page manifesto wherein he appears to profess a white superiority complex and hatred for Muslims. BPCA condemns such violence and does not see violent reprisal as the answer to any issues.
Hundreds convened with short notice in an outpouring of love and support for the muslim community. The inter-faith event was opened by Councillor Robert C. Littlewood, Cabinet Member for Crime, Safety and Community Cohesion and he spoke of the need for greater community cohesion and stronger communities. Other councillors were in attendance.
He spoke of the senseless nature of violence and how this callous act of cruelty serves only to devastate families rather than bring any peace. Such vulgar acts must be condemned at every level.
People held hands and 49 tealights were formed into the sign of the Islamic crescent in respect of the muslims who had died needlessly on this painful day in history.
Furthermore, a bagpiper played a lament after a poignant one minute of silence to honour the deceased during which time people paused to reflect on the futility of violence and hate and how they could individually be instruments of change.
"As a charity we wholeheartedly divorce ourselves of sinister, futile, horrid acts of violence which injure not only the Muslim community but the community as a whole.
"We stand hand in hand with our aching muslim brothers and sisters in their hour of need. We invite more inter-faith co-operation.
"We are pleased at how quickly people mobilised to support the Muslim community and attend our candle lit vigil – this level of support illustrates quite clearly that despite the efforts of those that would divide us, the love of those that wish to unite us is surely stronger and transcendental of any extraneous attempts otherwise.
"I encourage people to stand united in this dark blot on history and to render the relevant support to muslim communities in New Zealand and abroad as they heal from the trauma that this repugnant event has generated.
"I wholeheartedly condemn the awful attacks on Christchurch on Friday. It is utterly inexcusable to descend on any congregation in such a futile act of violence. It shows the hideousness of human nature.
"I answer this hideousness with love, peace and kindness which will not only cover this aforementioned ugliness but will refute it and transcend it. I know that a chorus of love is always stronger than a chorus of hate.
"There are those who wish to use such terrible events for political or social gain, but as an organisation we repudiate such efforts. We stand united with our muslim brothers and sisters and we rebuke all attempts to desecrate interfaith harmony.
"We believe we can peacefully co-exist in a way that fosters love over any propensity or predilection for hatred and enmity.
"I, and the BPCA, do not condone any acts of violence in the name of creed or, indeed in the name of secular vengeance. Violent reprisals must be condemned.

MADE WITH A SOFT FROSTY TIPPED SHERPA FABRIC, THIS SIMPLY SOUTHERN PREPPY COLLECTION SHERPA PULLOVER IS MADE TO KEEP YOU WARM WITHOUT SACRIFICING YOUR STYLE. THIS HIGHLY COMFORTABLE WOMEN'S PULLOVER HAS TIPPED PILE TEXTURED FABRIC THAT IS EXTREMELY SOFT TO THE TOUCH. THE STAND UP COLLAR AND QUARTER ZIP NECKLINE ENHANCE THE LOOK OF THIS COMFY PULLOVER. COMPLETE WITH SIDE OPEN HAND POCKETS, THE FROSTY TIPPED SHERPA PULLOVER WITH POCKETS IN PEARL FOR WOMEN WILL BE YOUR GO-TO PULLOVER FOR THE FALL AND WINTER.


The Rogue AB-3 Adjustable Bench introduces a new decline setting to go along with the 50+ seat and back-rest position combinations from the popular AB-2. Ideally suited for dynamic training or for gyms serving multiple athletes, this compact, 11-gauge steel weight bench offers a rare combination of sturdiness and maneuverability, with boundless customization options.
The AB-3 Bench is built in the USA, and is a direct descendent of the time-tested Nebula 1080 Utility Bench. This design features an updated spine construction that allows for the connection of a telescoping foot catch assembly. The foot catch locks firmly into place using a pop pin, and sets the user up for movements including the decline bench, decline dumbbell press, and decline sit-ups, among others.
If You Already Own an AB-2 Bench: You can purchase our Retro-Fit Kit to swap out your current spine and replace it with the new version in order to add the telescoping foot catch. Customers purchasing the Retro-Fit Kit will need to disassemble some components of their current AB-2 Bench in order to install the new spine.
Other standard features on the AB-3 Adjustable Bench include load-bearing rubber feet for stability, cordura edges for enhanced durability, and a convenient handle and wheels for easy mobility.
Length (with bench flat): 68"
Rogue AB-3 Adjustable Bench is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 33.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DavidM from Better than expected.... I had just cancelled my gym membership and was searching for a solid bench to use in my home. The Rogue AB-3 exceeded my expectations. It's very solid and at 230 lbs, its perfect for my exercise routine. No wobbling or worrying about screws loosening. Shipping was great and it was easy to assemble. One pin that took less than a minute. Even though I paid more than more comparable products, the quality is commercial grade and I'm a 1000% happy with my purchase.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jake K from Great Bench! I just got this bench recently and have only used it a few times so far, but this is a solidly built piece of equipment that will last a long time! Highly recommend!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Valerie34 from Best bench I've ever used I needed a multi-functional bench for my home gym and I didn't think it would be possible to find a single bench to accommodate all three basic positions of flat, incline, and decline. The decline part is hard to find. But with the addition of the rollers to the top of the bench, it works magnificently well for any degree of decline you could want. And this is a solid piece of equipment. Extremely sturdy and strong. Love it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marc T from Solid piece of equipment Like with everything else I have purchased from Rogue this bench is solid. No wobble and seems like it will last a very long time. The only question you have to ask is if it is worth the 1K price tag? If you don't ever plan on buying another bench I would say in the long run this bench is a great investment. Lots of cheap flimsy benches on line. I'm sure if you take the plunge you will not be disappointed.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MOto Joe from Super Stable Just received the AB-3 bench and look forward to years of use. The platform is very stable and easy to adjust all the way around. Mine sits on rubber flooring and there is literally no movement when in use, couldn't ask for more. The fit and finish are excellent and it's made in the USA. What's not to like?
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jim P P from Everything you need in a bench! Great bench! Built to last a lifetime with a ton of features. I was hesitant to buy due to high price tag but glad I made the purchase.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RoddyKnows from Glad I went with this bench I did lots of research and compared pricing and finally pulled the trigger on this bench. I have had it for a couple weeks and have used it in my daily wo's. This thing is built like a tank and solid. I am 6'2" and 235 pounds and I sit and do incline sit ups and this bench don't even move. I love the height of the back part as most commercial benches my head is close to the top while performing bench, skull crushers and other workouts. If you are wanting a solid bench and want the best, this is for you.
Rated 5 out of 5 by StephF from Perfect Addition I bought this to evolve my workouts to do more incline and decline movements. Love it! It is a great addition to my home gym!
