Chris Brown and Chris Jericho
Both these Chris's have made the news over the last few days. Unfortunately, the made the news for all the wrong reasons. Incidentally, both have been accused of hitting a woman. Let's start with Chris Brown...
What the hell was this boy thinking? Couples argue all the time but to hit a woman?! That ain't right my friends. Reports have it that Rihanna (real name: Robyn Rihanna Fenty) suffered major contusions on both sides of her face, a split lip and a bloody nose. There are reported bite marks too. It remains to be seen if Brown suffered any injuries.
Both these talented artists missed the Grammy's last night. If they had performed as planned, they would have stole the show (especially Rihanna) and made decent news. Instead, they made the news for all the wrong reasons...
Now on to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar Chris Jericho. Jericho is indeed one of WWE's hottest stars. This man gets tremendous heat for the persona that he plays on their weekly live show Raw. He is the second best heel next to Randy Orton.
The question is, can fans differentiate between what goes on on television and real life? Imagine hating Jack Nicholson for the role he played in The Shining. Dumb ain't it?
Anyhow, here is the rundown of the incident that involved Chris Jericho...
WWE superstar Chris Jericho was involved in a crazy, expletive-filled mini-brawl with fans yesterday ... and one of the people involved was a woman.
It all went down after a WWE event at the Save-On Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, BC -- an angry crowd began heckling Chris Jericho as he was driving out of the parking lot. When Jericho stared down a female fan, that's when things got violent...
In the video, it appears she spit on the wrestler -- Jericho flipped out and the woman was knocked to the ground. At that point, one of the dudes in the crowd rushes in to attack Chris.
Jericho managed to shove that guy away -- and others who got close. During the melee, Chris can be heard screaming at security to "do your f***ing job." Finally, security tackled one of the men to the ground and Chris was able to get in his ride and take off.
from TMZ.com
In my opinion, Jericho was just protecting himself. It was ONE man versus a MOB. Nobody deserves to be disrespected. Some would argue that he should have just stayed in the freaking car. I reckon that's something he would be wishing too!

agreed. no matter how angry we get coz of the woman, we guys should never physically abuse them. it's just wrong. wrong. wrong.
on a lighter note, i think Orton, Edge and Jericho are 3 of the best performers in WWE at the moment. Orton is getting better with his mike skills as well. ha! and his new sleeves? kick-ass man! but i have no idea what is on them. haha

Noel Boyd Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 9:53:00 PM GMT+8
to jona-tat.2: Exactly bro! I'm with you on the 3 best performers. Orton is becoming better by the week.
I reckon Orton has some demons on his sleeve. Will post pictures soon. Heee...
to remy: Erm...that's illegal right? doo dee doo...

Nonsense!


The Port of Hood River will implement paid parking on Port-owned streets and parking lots this month beginning as early as Friday, June 15. Payment kiosks are being installed in various locations on North 1st Street, and on Portway Avenue from 2nd Street east and from 8th Street west to the Hook. Payment will be required in these areas between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. all days. Parking in these areas will be prohibited between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
The Hood River waterfront recreation beaches and parks are effectively shrinking as high water levels in the Columbia River climb higher up the shoreline. The spring runoff is causing high water levels throughout the Columbia/Snake River system, but local concerns are focused on water safety in the run up to Memorial Day weekend.

One year anniversary of UK deploying Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine
2.5 billion doses of the at-cost and UK-made vaccine have been administered across the world.
A year ago the UK became the first country in the world to administer the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine
Vaccination programme has been a phenomenal success, saving countless lives and reducing pressure on NHS
One year ago yesterday [Tuesday 4 January 2021] the UK became the first country in the world to administer the Oxford University/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
Brian Pinker, 82, was the first person to receive the life-saving vaccine outside of clinical trials at Oxford University Hospital at 7.30am.
Since then, around 50 million AstraZeneca vaccines have been administered in the UK, saving countless lives, keeping people out of hospital and reducing the pressure on the NHS.
To mark the anniversary, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid, will visit a vaccination centre in London to thank hard-working NHS staff and volunteers delivering jabs.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said:
Backed by government funding, the UK-made Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has played an absolutely crucial role in our fight against COVID-19, saving countless lives in the UK and around the world.
I'm extremely proud of our world-leading researchers and scientists who are responsible for developing some of the most effective vaccines and treatments during the pandemic and the NHS for the incredible roll out.
The UK's vaccination and booster programme is world leading but with the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, it is more important than ever that people come forward for their vaccines and booster to top up your immunity this winter and protect the progress we have made.
The government invested early in Oxford University's team, supporting their vaccine technology since 2016 and their COVID-19 jabs since March 2020 with more than £88 million to help research, develop and manufacture the vaccine.
The National Institute for Health Research's (NIHR) helped recruit thousands of volunteers from across the UK for the phase 3 clinical trials and supported the researchers, which paved the way for approval by the independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Around 2.5 billion doses have been distributed at-cost to more than 170 countries. Almost two-thirds of these have gone to low and lower-middle-income countries, including more than 30 million doses donated by the UK through COVAX or bilaterally. The UK will donate a further 20 million AstraZeneca doses to countries in need this year as part of the government's commitment to donate 100 million doses overall.
Vaccines Minister Maggie Throup said:
The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is a UK success story and demonstrates what can be achieved when researchers, scientists and the government work together.
The at-cost vaccine has given billions of people around the world a way to fight back against this virus. "Please get your vaccines and booster to protect yourself and your families this winter.
The COVID-19 vaccination programme is the largest in British history and was established at unprecedented speed, with thousands of vaccine centres set up rapidly in England, meaning around 98% of people live within 10 miles of a vaccination clinic.
The government's Vaccine Taskforce secured early access to almost 340 million doses of the most promising vaccine candidates in advance for the entire UK, Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, enabling a rapid deployment once approved by the medicines regulator.
NHS National Medical Director Professor Stephen Powis said: > Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of scientists and doctors, the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine was developed in just a matter of months instead of years, with NHS staff working tirelessly to roll the jabs out to millions across the country. > The Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine has played a crucial role in the biggest and most successful immunisation programme in NHS history, and I'd like to take this opportunity to remind people again that there are still hundreds of thousands of appointments available for first, second and booster jabs so please come forward and get jabbed.
The UK led the world on vaccine research, providing results for three of the successful vaccine candidates through huge phase 3 trials for Oxford AstraZeneca, Janssen and Novavax vaccines. The Novavax trial is the largest ever double blind placebo controlled trial in the UK, recruiting 15,000 participants from 35 research sites in just over two months.
More than 133 million COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered in the UK in just over a year, including around 34 million boosters and third doses, securing vital protection against Omicron.
The Get Boosted Now campaign led to a huge increase in vaccination rates, with over 8 million jabs administered in just over two weeks in England (a 45% increase), between 12 December - when the Prime Minister set out a target to offer all eligible adults in England a booster by the end of January – and Thursday 30 December – when the target was achieved.
The NHS in England has broken record after record in that time – including the highest number of vaccinations ever recorded in a single day: 830,000 top-up jabs reported on Saturday 18 December. This was also the day the UK hit over one million vaccinations in total, including first, second, third and booster doses – jumping from 928,000 the previous day.
UK Government funding for the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine:
To date the UK Government invested over £88 million in funding to develop and manufacture the vaccine this includes £2.6 million through NIHR and UKRI for research of the vaccine, £20 million for clinical trials and £65.5 million for early manufacturing of the vaccine.
The Government also invested £8.75 million to set up the rapid deployment facility at Oxford Biomedica to manufacture the vaccine at scale.
The UK government had invested in the Oxford team and their technology since 2016, and in their COVID specific vaccines since March 2020.
The key results that allowed approval from the regulator came from the Phase 3 trial. These results were enabled by the UK public who volunteered in their thousands to take part in that trial and the National Institute for Health Research infrastructure that facilitated their recruitment and supported the researchers.
The UK led the world on vaccine research, providing results for three of the successful vaccine candidates through huge Phase 3 trials for Oxford AstraZeneca, Janssen and Novavax vaccines.

Q: Redirect to subdomain based on the input using .htaccess I need your help with my .htaccess file.
What im trying to do is to redirect the url which was sent by the user to a subdomain with the same path.
for example:
mydomain.net/rankings.php or mydomain.net/rankings
should result in:
subdomain.mydomain.net/rankings.php
Furthermore the decision which subdomain should be used is based on the stored cookies.
In order to do this I created an index.php file into the main folder '/' which will check the cookies of an user and also redirect based on the giving url using php-parameters which will be sent using index.php?site=rankings.php.
So eventually I need to redirect the giving url input to index.php and add the url-path using php-parameters.
Like this:
mydomain.net/rankings should be redirected or rewritten to mydomain.net/index.php?site=rankings.php
The whole internet is full of .htacces rewrites to change php-parameters into good looking url-paths but I need it the other way around.
Thanks for reading.

A: Place this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)/?$ index.php?site=$1.php [L,QSA]

If you want redirect use [L,QSA,R] flags.

Ingalls House is a historic house museum at 210 3rd Street Southwest in De Smet, South Dakota. The house was a childhood home to the author Laura Ingalls Wilder.

After living in the surveyor's house in town in 1879-80 and then homesteading for several years, Charles Phillip Ingalls constructed this town house in 1887, and it was occupied by the family until 1928. It features many furnishings crafted by Mr. Ingalls.  The Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society purchased the house in 1967 and opened it to the public the next year.

The bodies of Charles, Caroline, Mary, Carrie, and Grace Ingalls, and the unnamed infant son of Laura and Almanzo Wilder are buried nearby in the De Smet Cemetery a little over a mile away.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

When the Ingalls lived there, fruit trees filled up the back yard and a vegetable garden was in the adjacent lot.  Also a barn and a sand-point pump were in constant use.

Making The Right Choice: How to Select The Perfect Bathroom Suite
We all make mistakes. But making mistakes when choosing a bathroom suite is a pretty big deal. For many people, a series of mistakes like this are simply unaffordable. The upside of getting a new bathroom fitted out in your home is that it's an exciting business and, of course, once installed and working, it's a wonderful thing to enjoy – but, get it wrong, and it's not a bed of roses. Everyone and every home is different, so taking some deliberation, as well as using your imagination's key to getting it right; indeed, here are some tips you might want to follow…
Settle on a Style and Let It Guide You
The most fun part of the whole process arguably comes at the outset – choosing the sort of bathroom you want. It's then when it's all about possibility and you can allow your mind to wonder… and ponder on just how different styles will look in and, therefore, suit your bathroom. Do you want a sophisticated yet fancy Victorian appearance or an equally old-fashioned but more rustic look? Ask yourself whether you wish it to fit with a general theme you have for the rest of the house or just fancy the idea of it standing on its own style-wise. While this may be the most enjoyable part of your bathroom deliberating, it's also crucial because it kicks-starts the process and eliminates a lot of options you don't want to pursue, thus narrowing things down and allowing you to focus on moving forwards.
Always Obey Room Measurements
Choosing a style may be about rooting out all your options and allowing yourself to dream a little; when it comes to room dimensions, like it or not, it's rather the opposite. But it's absolutely necessary; if you ignore the reality of how big or small, wide or narrow you're bathroom actually is, you run the risk of ordering a suite – or various different pieces – that won't fit, costing you money and wasting a lot of time, energy and patience. Don't allow yourself to fall into the trap of disappointment and get dumped back at square one.
Draw Up a Budget – and Stick to It
This may sound obvious, but should your head be turned by all the oh-so beautiful suites there are out there on display in bathroom showrooms London, it's an easy one to overlook – and, for some, can then become, somewhat dangerously, a far less important priority. Let's face it; money's money – when you're setting out to do up a room in your house, it always needs to be a primary priority.
Don't Just Live in The Present – Consider The Future
Should you be in the market for a bathroom in a would-be family home, make your choices accordingly. Right now, your situation may be that you're a homeowner along with a partner or spouse and have no little ones, but in a year or two's time, who's to say kids won't be on the way (whether planned for or not)? In which case, should you have the foresight now to have a luxurious but practical and family-friendly bath installed, your future self's bound to be thanking you in time!
Equally, if you're living alone currently, it's worth considering having possibly a bigger and fuller bathroom fitted than you might feel necessary because it will contribute to the house, flat or apartment's sell-on value. For instance, don't scrimp on a bath; instead go for a tub and shower combination.
So, in conclusion, be mindful, sensible, and honest with yourself but also dare to dream (as much is reasonable!) when putting the pieces together to choose the perfect new bathroom suite for you, your family, your home – and for the near future as well as the present!

Ever wonder what to do with all that unused space in your giant bathroom? Or does your bathroom design give you the impression that it will not be able to fit anything unless you empty it? The possible solution to both these concerns may lay in a recessed bathroom cabinet.
Recessed bathroom cabinets are known to be a great way to utilize space and arrange your bathroom needs in an orderly manner. They also tend to be very attractive. It is important that your bathroom space has enough space to accommodate a recessed bathroom cabinet.
While taking measurements in the bathroom, you may want to ensure that the installation shouldn't damage or disturb existing electrical wirings and water pipes in the walls. Next step is to essentially understand what kind of recessed cabinet will suit your bathrooms needs and your personal moods.
You may want to consider your bathrooms interior and décor while trying to buy a recessed bathroom cabinet. That will ensure that your cabinet isn't out of place as it will easily blend in with the surroundings. If you are a free spirit and would like to showcase the inner rebel you can have a completely standalone piece that can be the center of focus in your bathroom.
These recessed bathroom cabinets are made of different materials like Wood, Stainless Steel, bevel metal, nickel metal, rubbed bronze metal, Java particleboard, plastic, pine and metal combination, aluminum finish etc. They are either single door or have multiple doors. They can have adjustable internal cabinets that can be shrunk or expanded as the needs come up.
There could be a mirror on the inside along with a light switch to help to locate stuff easily. A recessed bathroom cabined has to be mounted either inside or on the wall inside the framing provided by cabinet manufacturers. Mounted recessed cabinets should only be considered if your walls don't have vents, electricity circuitry wires or water pipes.
In such cases you can choose a surface mounted cabinet. It is advisable that the top of the cabinet is 72 inches off the floor. However, one can adjust this measurement because it depends on your physicality. Ideally you should be able to see your face and upper body while washing your face or brushing your teeth.
If your bathroom doesn't have the space and your stuff is still lying around, you may either want to redo the whole bathroom space or you can hire an architect and/or designer to scope your bathroom space and create a custom cabinet for you. This can be a costly option but it certainly beats the pressure of having to redo the whole bathroom.
Bathroom cabinets are known to facilitate habits that people otherwise may or may not develop. For example, a study says that people who floss, use mouthwash, eat vitamins and take off their contacts regularly usually have a bathroom remodel cabinet to keep a track of all their daily rituals. That sounds like a good idea to invest in a recessed bathroom cabinet.

After teasing with a demo earlier this month at the Dell EMC World conference, Toshiba is now officially announcing their first SSD based on their 64-layer BiCS3 3D NAND. This is the first generation of Toshiba 3D NAND that will be adopted across their entire range of SSDs, and the first product to get the new flash is a consumer-oriented M.2 NVMe SSD. The Toshiba XG5 is the direct successor to the XG3 and will occupy the highest of Toshiba's three tiers of client OEM SSDs. While the XG3 and its retail sibling the OCZ RD400 used planar MLC NAND, the XG5 uses 3D TLC NAND but still promises higher throughput. The Toshiba XG4 was the TLC-based counterpart to the XG3, and its role as the entry-level NVMe drive will be taken over by the BG-series NVMe BGA SSDs, while SATA SSDs will continue to be the lowest tier of Toshiba OEM SSDs.
It's unusual for Toshiba to put out a press release about a client OEM SSD, but the XG5 is a major milestone for the company as they finally begin a widespread transition to 3D NAND. The preceding 48-layer BiCS2 3D NAND did technically ship, but only in a handful of niche products, while BiCS3 is planned to replace Toshiba's planar NAND in all mainstream applications. The XG5 is currently sampling to all the usual OEMs for qualification in their upcoming products, and systems using the XG5 should be on the shelves in the second half of this year.
Aside from the use of BiCS3 3D NAND, Toshiba isn't sharing much in the way of technical details about the XG5. Sequential reads are rated for 3GB/s and sequential writes at 2.1GB/s, but random access performance has not been disclosed other than to say it's better than the XG3. Typical power consumption is rated at 4.6W for reads and 3.5W for writes, with idle of less than 3 mW. Toshiba won't confirm if the controller has been upgraded from the XG3/RD400 controller, but at the very least the firmware has been significantly updated. There will be XG5 models both with and without TCG Opal encryption.
The XG5 will be available in capacities from 256GB to 1TB. The smaller capacities will be using Toshiba's 256Gb TLC BiCS3 dies and the larger drives will be using the 512Gb TLC parts. The 512Gb TLC could easily enable capacities above 1TB, but the OEM market currently isn't interested. When Toshiba releases a retail counterpart to the XG5 it is very likely we'll see a 2TB option in addition to the firmware tweaks and custom NVMe driver the OCZ RD400 came with.
Practically all TLC drives (including 3D TLC ones) use a SLC cache anyways.


The HydroTread 1610 is the largest in the HydroTread range. An above-ground, aquatic treadmill designed for long-term reliable operation. Its smooth Stainless Steel & Toughened glass surfaces and user friendly controls provide a safe environment for both operator and user. Clear wall panels surround the treadmill to provide a spacious, bright and open environment for user comfort and allows the operator full visual overseeing during exercise.
HydroTread utilizes the natural properties of water – buoyancy, resistance and temperature. Although aquatic exercise is practiced extensively to improve fitness levels and rehabilitation from injury, HydroTread provides a compact and efficient way to achieve positive results in a private environment.
HydroTread's unique structural design enables an impressive 1300mm (51 inches) water depth, providing full buoyancy for even the largest of user's - reducing overall weight off the lower back and legs by as much as 90% during exercise – LOW IMPACT EXERCISE.
Fast Fill and Fast Empty hydro-pumps ensure efficient use of time throughout exercise session – water depth adjustment can be made at anytime during use.
All water in the HydroTread system is Re-Cycled. Water is stored, heated, filtered and sanitized in the storage tank ready for transfer into the HydroTread vessel for use. Following use the water is then transferred back into the storage tank. filtration and sanitizing system is commercial grade like used in public pools & Spas.
A high performance, variable speed treadmill (conveyor) is driven by an industrial grade electric motor / gearbox / Variable Frequency Drive that provides an effortless speed range from 0.03 Kph to15.0 Kph (0.18 Mph–9.3 Mph) controlled via a 256 Colour Touch Screen Control. The treadmill can be operated WET or DRY.
The conveyor deck is shock absorbing providing additional comfort and safety for the user – this is also the case when the HydroTread is in the Incline position of up to 7 degrees.
Water running and aquatic aerobics opens up a new opportunity for people of all ages, and varying levels of fitness, the forgiving water environment is effective and enjoyable.
The upward thrust exerted by water on a body acts in the opposite direction of the force of gravity. Water's buoyancy virtually eliminates the effects of gravity – supporting 90% of the body's weight for reduced impact and greater flexibility.
A 180 lbs (82kg) person weighs only 18 lbs (8 kg) in the water. Water acts as a cushion for the body's weight-bearing joints, reducing stress on muscles, tendons and ligaments. As a result, aquatic workouts are low impact and can greatly reduce the injury and strain common to most land-based exercises.
Due to viscosity, drag forces and frontal resistance, water provides a resistance which is proportional to the effort exerted against it. Resistance in water ranges between 4 and 42 times greater than in air – depending on the speed of movement. This makes water a natural and instantly-adjustable weight-training machine. Unlike most land-based exercise, water provides resistance to the movement in all directions, which allows all of these directions be used in the strengthening process.
Water's resistance can be increased with speed and/or surface area, and the resistance is proportional to the effort required to move against it. With the addition of water fitness equipment, such as buoyancy belt, webbed gloves, floats and foot-ware, resistance is increased to strengthen and tone muscles.
The unique properties of water enable your heart to work more The unique properties of water enable your heart to work more efficiently.
The hydrostatic pressure of water pushes equally on all body surfaces and helps the heart circulate blood by aiding venous return (blood flow back to the heart). This assistance to the heart accounts for lower blood-pressure and heart rates, during deep-water exercise – versus similar exertions on land.
Consequently, your heart rate is an estimated 10-15 beats lower per minute during suspended water exercise than for the same effort applied on land.
Being able to promptly return to exercise following injury or an operation is invaluable and beneficial to a speedier recovery. Water enables the return to exercise quicker than on land.
A combination of buoyancy and treadmill motion allows individuals to walk or run at a balanced and comfortable level – taking strain & stress off load bearing joints whilst benefiting from the aerobic activity.
Hydrostatic pressure, resistance and water temperature all contribute to building up muscle and strength in a safe environment. The treadmill speed range is up to 15kph (9.3mph).

Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding, commonly called Copley Fielding, was an English painter born in Sowerby, near Halifax and was famous for his watercolour landscapes (Rossetti, 1911). He was the best known and most prolific of a family of brothers who were all painters. He trained initially with his father, Nathan Theodore Fielding (fl.1775-1814), a portrait painter. He travelled with him to Liverpool in 1807 and then to Wales in 1808.
In 1810 he entered the Royal Academy schools where he was taught by John Varley (1778-1842), an English watercolour painter and astrologer, and a close friend of William Blake (1757-1827) (Rossetti, 1911). Fielding was particularly proficient as a watercolourist - he exhibited regularly from 1810 at the Society for Painters in Watercolours (RWS), often sending 40 or 50 pictures a year. He became a full member and secretary in 1813 and president until his death in 1831.
He exhibited only 17 paintings, all oils, at the Royal Academy between 1811 and 1842 - landscapes and views of buildings. He was one of the most fashionable drawing-masters of his day and in 1824 was awarded a medal at the Paris Salon, along with Constable and Bonington. His best subjects were views of mountain scenery in Scotland, Wales and the North of England. Although he also painted a few Italian scenes, these were from the sketches of others as he never travelled abroad. Copley Fielding was championed by John Ruskin (1819-1900):
"No man has ever given, with the same flashing freedom, the race of a running tide under a stiff breeze, nor caught, with the same grace and precision, the curvature of the breaking wave, arrested or accelerated by the wind." Unfortunately, many of his watercolours have faded because of the use of indigo (Wright, 1978).
Fielding died in Worthing in March 1855 (Rossetti, 1911).
Examples of his work, painted 1829 to 1850, can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum, see below.
English Landscape, oil on canvas, ca. 1810-1855, by Copley Fielding, bequeathed by Henry Spencer Ashbee to V&A, no. 1849-1900
According to Ronald Parkinson (Catalogue of British Oil Paintings 1820-1860, Victoria and Albert Museum, 1990), this landscape is by Fielding and the cattle and two drovers are by John Linnell (1792-1882). Linnell also trained under Varley at the Royal Academy schools so they may have met there. There is a watercolour, The Beach at Lytham, by Linnell, in the Lytham St Annes Collection (V&A, 2015)


Anatomy of the Hip Joint.
The hip joint is located where the thigh bone (femur) meets the pelvic bone. It is a "ball and socket" joint. The upper end of the femur is formed into a round ball (the "head" of the femur). A cavity in the pelvic bone forms the socket(acetabulum). The ball is normally held in the socket by very powerful ligaments that form a complete sleeve around the joint (the joint capsule). The capsule has a delicate lining (the synovium). The head of the femur is covered with a layer of smooth cartilage which is a fairly soft, white substance about 1/8 inch thick. The socket is also lined with cartilage (also about 1/8 inch thick). The cartilage cushions the joint, and allows the bones to move on each other with very little friction. An x-ray of the hip joint usually shows a "space" between the ball and the socket because the cartilage does not show up on x-rays. In the normal hip this "joint space" is approximately 1/4 inch wide and fairly even in outline.

Heavenly breezes
Last updated on 2019-07-09 • Tagged under #space
Imagine a new way to fly - in space - that uses no onboard fuel, no engine, and is capable of traveling far faster and cheaper than anything we have launched to date.
This is not a science fiction spacecraft. We've built it. Two weeks ago it left earth and is now in orbit preparing for its test flight.
A new way to fly. Inspired by a 400 year old idea.
In 1607 a comet appeared in the skies over Europe, capturing the attention of the astronomer Johannes Kepler. Kepler wondered what caused the comet's broad tail that arced gently across the sky. Sunlight, he thought, must be striking the comet and liberating material from its surface.
Though Kepler had no way to prove his hypothesis, it was an insightful - and ultimately correct - observation. Sunlight pushes on the ice and dust of a comet, scattering them in all directions. Some of the material escapes the comet's gravitational hold, creating a tail that extends off the comet. The idea of the sun's rays interacting with a celestial object led Kepler to imagine that a space sail might one day capture sunlight the way a boat sail catches the wind. In a letter to Galileo Galilei, Kepler wrote that humans might one day use the technology to set a course for the stars:
Provide ships or sails adapted to the heavenly breezes, and there will be some who will brave even that void.
Think of a traditional chemical rocket and of Newton's third law of motion: "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". So the thrust of the rocket - the momentum of the fuel being burned and expelled in one direction - pushes the rocket in the other direction. When the rocket burns up all its fuel its done. Most spacecraft reach their maximum speed and then coast through space or rely on gravity assists from other planets to reach their destinations.
But its possible to use a different source of energy. Sunlight!
Light is made up of particles called photons. Photons don't have mass, but as they travel through space they do have energy and momentum. Energy and momentum that can be transferred to other objects.
An object like a space sail. A solar sail.
When light hits a solar sail - which has a bright, mirror-like surface - the photons in that light bounce off the sail, like a reflection off a mirror. As the photons hit and bounce off the sail their momentum is transferred to it, giving it a small push. The effect is tiny - like tossing a paperclip against a bedsheet - but the sun is constantly emitting trillions of photons and - in the vacuum of space - there is nothing to slow down the sail. The accumulation of tiny pushes adds up. With solar sails, a spacecraft can continue accelerating as long as there is light pushing on it. Increasing velocity throughout its entire voyage and capable of reaching tremendous speeds.
When a solar sail faces the Sun directly, photons push the spacecraft forward, away from the Sun. But a solar sail can move in other directions by tacking like a sailboat, changing the angle of the sail relative to the Sun.
In theory. So let's put it to the test!
The Planetary Society is a nonprofit advocacy group that promotes the exploration of space, and they have a history with solar sail-powered craft: a failed launch attempt in 2005, and a demonstrator craft - called LightSail 1 - placed in low earth orbit in 2015. Four years ago on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, they proposed building and launching a more ambitious craft called LightSail 2. They raised $7 million dollars from 40,000 private contributors - myself among them - in amounts from as little as $5 to a single anonymous donation of $1 million.
Two weeks ago, a night launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket successfully took LightSail 2 to space. The spacecraft is currently circling the earth. Its about the size of a loaf of bread and - tucked inside - is a solar sail of extremely reflective material that unfolds to about the size of a boxing ring and is only microns thick.
Barring any last minute complications - LightSail 2 will deploy its sail later this week or next. It will begin turning the sail into and away from the Sun's rays each orbit, giving the spacecraft a gentle push. The goal is to raise the spacecraft's orbit by a measurable amount over the course of a month using nothing but the power supplied by the sun. Reaching those higher orbits has traditionally been expensive. Solar sailing - if it works - would radically lower the cost. Not just making earth orbit more accessible, but open up the solar system for exploration and development.
And, one day, even farther still. Its an elegant technology. A beautiful notion.
In the first age of sail we crossed oceans and explored the earth.
Now we stand at the dawn of a second great age of sail that will see us traverse the space between the stars.

Indeed.  Note also that matching "*:svg" is bad, too; I can't think of
any reason why you would want to use <svg:svg xmlns:svg="..."> over <svg
xmlns="..."> as a way to switch into SVG in text/html.

OK, but there /will/ still be a speed hit, I suspect a significant one.
(I don't know quite how much, but I intend to have a go at
implementing the proposal to see how well it works in practice.)

HTML5 specifies at a byte-by-byte level how to tokenise and build a tree
of an HTML document.  It defines what it means to e.g. "emit a start tag
token", or "insert an element".  XML defines none of this, but rather
what a well-formed XML document looks like, and additionally, how to use
DTDs to determine the validity of such documents.  As a result, the
proposal is underspecified compared to the rest of the parsing
algorithm.  (I suspect the best way of fixing this would be to include
an "XML fragment" parsing section inside of HTML5, which deals with a
subset of XML that doesn't include entities, PIs, and the like.)

The SVG, along with the HTML, is built into a DOM by the browser/UA,
which is then trivially serialisable to XML.
Additionally, effort would be well-spent on getting SVG editors to
include HTML5 parsers which can parse and extract SVG fragments
usefully.  After that, it doesn't really matter in what form the SVG is
serialised in text/html, as long as everyone agrees on the rules for
parsing it.

Goerke, Barkmin heat up Strauss's "Elektra" with Nelsons, BSO

"We were a set of madwomen," recalled contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink, who sang the role of Klytämnestra in the 1909 premiere of Elektra. Madness of all sorts—bloody obsession, delusion, stark terror—seemed to wash over the stage of Symphony Hall Thursday night as the Boston Symphony Orchestra with soloists and chorus, under the attentive direction of Andris Nelsons, gave an all-stops-out performance of Strauss's most extravagant opera.
The entire opera—nearly two hours of it, in one act without a break—seems like an emanation from the fevered mind of its title character, who is onstage nearly throughout. In that most central of opera roles, soprano Christine Goerke carried the show and then some, enacting the wronged princess's volcanic rage with bold physical presence and a rich, room-filling voice that could soar over Strauss' massive orchestra in full cry.
Cannily conserving her vocal resources for her long, taxing role, Goerke sang with unrelenting intensity, yet always seemed to have power in reserve even at the drama's most shattering climaxes.
To call this concert performance semi-staged would be an exaggeration, but at least the singers performed from memory and were provided a small space between the conductor's podium and the first row of the orchestra, where Elektra could pace like a caged animal and confront the other characters one by one. After a time, one even forgot that there was a man standing on a box waving a baton in the middle of the action.
As Elektra's timorous sister Chrysothemis, soprano Gun-Brit Barkmin may have overdone the hunching and trembling somewhat, but, with voice slimmed down and slender body seemingly waving in the breeze, she was the personification of a frail reed to hang a murder plot on.
However, when the sisters' dream of revenge for the murder of their father at last came true, and Barkmin dialed up to full voice to announce the news, the effect was stunning.
As the guilt-ridden mother and queen Klytämnestra recounting her violent dreams, mezzo-soprano Jane Henschel whooped and growled her way through some of the most dissonant, unnerving music in the opera. Though vocally striking, Henschel's steady performance didn't quite have the all-out quality of the other "madwomen" on stage.
And this is definitely an opera about women, where the male characters are mainly pawns on the board. Baritone James Rutherford seemed all too aware of that during his somewhat diffident rendering of the role of Orest, brother of the two sisters and seemingly reluctant tool of their revenge. It was a defensible interpretation, but it did let some of the air out of the famous "recognition scene," in which Elektra sees through her brother's disguise and is ecstatically reunited with him; on Thursday, soprano Goerke had to do most of the emotional heavy lifting there.
Tenor Gerhard Siegel, on the other hand, was the very picture of self-satisfied arrogance as the queen's lover Aegisth, piercing of voice and spitting out the kind of German diction you could hang your coat on. It was a pity Strauss and librettist Hofmannsthal didn't give him much more to do than speak rudely to his valet and get murdered.
There is a brief role for chorus at the end, as the household staff rejoices at the demise of the murderous queen and her lover. Guest chorus conductor James Bagwell led members of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in the second balcony, to good effect.
But the roles in this work that are collectively most like the traditional Greek chorus are those of the five Maids and their Overseer, who set the scene at the beginning and return to describe offstage action. The First through Fifth Maids—respectively, mezzo-soprano Nadezhda Serdyuk, contralto Claudia Huckle, mezzo-soprano Mary Phillips, soprano Sandra López, and soprano Rebecca Nash—and soprano Nadine Secunde as the Overseer all brought plenty of vocal power and dramatic flair to their narrative of a royal court in disarray.
Sopranos Elizabeth Byrne and Meredith Hansen were a strong supporting presence as the queen's confidante and trainbearer respectively. Tenor Mark Schowalter and bass Kevin Langan ably represented the male household staff roles.
As the Man Who Wasn't There, conductor Nelsons toned down his gesticulations for the most part, acknowledging that the orchestra isn't the star of the opera. Nevertheless, through his efforts, Strauss's atmospheric effects, mood-painting, and emotional moments from tiny shudders to blinding flashes were superbly realized, and the one-hour-fifty-minute performance seemed to rivet the audience's attention from the opening orchestral cry to the final fortissimo wallop and standing ovation.
Elektra will be repeated 8 p.m. Saturday. bso.org; 617-266-1200.

Cool Facts About Geminids Meteor Shower
By Zain Husain on Dec 13, 2012 in Events | 0 comments
Home » Events » Cool Facts About Geminids Meteor Shower
Maybe you can see one of these! Lets hope it doesn't hit anything you care about!
Tonight and tomorrow night you will be able to see the Geminids meteor shower. It's where we see a meteor shower pass through the constellation Gemini. You can see anywhere from 60-120 meteors per hour!
Here let's get started with some interesting facts about why I LOVE the Geminids meteor shower:
1) An Unexplained Meteor Shower
Credit: B. E. Schmidt and S. C. Radcliffe of UCLA.
One mind boggling thing about this meteor shower is that it's UNLIKE no other! Usually most meteor showers are caused by debris from comets passing by (far away). This one has a parent asteroid called 3200 Phaethon. You would think that it's this strange rock that's causing all these meteors but actually it only makes up a very small fraction. It's very very strange. They believe that this rock might have been broken off another larger asteroid and all the debris may have came along for the ride. It's still puzzling since there isn't enough concrete evidence to figure it out. This asteroid was discovered in 1983 by NASA's IRAS satellite. NASA astronomer Bill Cooke had this to say about his favorite meteor shower:
"Of all the debris streams Earth passes through every year, the Geminids' is by far the most massive," says Cooke. "When we add up the amount of dust in the Geminid stream, it outweighs other streams by factors of 5 to 500."
It's amazing to know that it still outweighs all the other meteor showers by that much!
2) Quite the Sight to See and Can Be Seen by All!
Some meteor showers can only be seen in the northern or southern hemisphere. Geminids can actually be seen by both hemispheres and actually has more meteors showing up in the lower atmosphere. Even the colors of these meteors will glow more vibrantly than other meteor showers. It's quite the sight to see
3) Closet Approach of the Asteroid is in 2093!
The Geminids meteor shower was discovered in 1862 but the parent asteroid didn't show up until 1983! The next closest approach, which will be a 3 million km approach, is in 2093.
Where to Look?
South East in the constellation of Gemini. This will be around 11 p.m and it can be seen earlier but the peak starts happening after 11 p.m.
Look up SOUTH EAST and watch the show

Q: Dual Coxeter numbers, Langlands dual groups, black holes and twisted compactification of 6d (2,0) A D E theories on a circle A 6-dimensional (2,0) superconformal quantum field theory comes in Lie algebra A, D, E types. These theories do not have classical Lagrangian and are purely quantum.These theories on a torus compactification without twisting leads to the 4-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory of A, D, E, gauge group. The 6-dim theories are known to carry degrees of freedom proportional to the product of the dual Coxeter number of the group  $h^\vee_G$ and the dimension of the group $d_G$.
In our recent study arXiv:2103.06044 of the black hole entropy in these 6-dim theories with a  twisted circle compactification by outer-automorphism, we have encountered a very simple relation  between the products $h^\vee_Gd_G$  of Lie groups.
For a group $G$ with outer-automorphism, one can associate the Langlands dual group $H^\vee$ of the subgroup $H$ obtained by outer-automorphism twisting of $G$.  The relation we found is
$$ h^\vee_{H^\vee} d_{H^\vee} = \frac{h^\vee_G d_G}{n_G} , $$
where $n_G=2,3,4$. $n_G$ is not exactly the order of outer-automorphism, which is 2 or 3.
The following table shows the above relation holds explicitly.
\begin{array}{||c|c|c|c|c|c||}
G & h^\vee_G & d_G & n_G& H &  H^\vee & h^\vee_{H^\vee} & d_{H^\vee}\\ \hline
A_{2r-1} & 2r & 4r^2-1 & 2 & C_r & B_r & 2r-1 & r(2r+1)\\
A_{2r} & 2r+1 & 4r(r+1) & 4& C'_r & C'_r& r+1 & r(2r+1)\\
D_r & 2(r-1) &  r(2r-1) & 2 & B_{r-1}& C_{r-1} & r & (r-1)(2r-1) \\
D_4 & 6 & 28 & 3 & G_2 & G_2 & 4 & 14 \\
E_6 & 12 & 78 & 2 & F_4 & F_4 & 9 & 52
\end{array}
For the 4-dimensional ${\cal N} =4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the gauge group $C_r$ comes in two varieties depending on the range of the $\theta$ parameters. The S-duality leads to either gauge theory of its Langlands dual, $B_r$ or $C_r$.
One question is whether this relation has been noticed before. If so, in what context.  Another is its possible implications in the representation theory.

Where do I start? I think the real challenge would be . . . where do I finish. I can go on and on, but I want to share with you some insights that I have learned in raising a boy diagnosed not only with ADHD, but with O.D.D. (oppositional defiant disorder) and Tourette Syndrome. I am especially challenged because I also suffer from ADHD.
It's been a rough road from day one. No sense sugar-coating it. It's hard! His ongoing struggles in school often stem from teachers and aides who think that if his disability isn't "noticeable to the eye" it can't be a disability. His teacher's will often say he is "just lazy" or "mean spirited", but this couldn't be further from the truth. As his mother, I have gone way beyond what a "normal" parent goes through in raising their child. It seems like I spend most of my time calling schools, attending disciplinary meetings, and arguing daily with my son to keep up with his school work and not get in trouble.
I have been fortunate to finally have found after many years an advocate for my son other than myself. My son's therapist has helped me better understand my son's behaviors. He has attended IEP and discipline meetings as an advocate for my son. He has tried to demonstrate to my son's teachers that ADHD is a real disorder and not an excuse for bad behavior.
My son, like all children, does respond positively to the right type of treatment. He wants to be liked by his teachers even though he can be harder to teach and sometimes harder to like.
Raising my son has been a struggle every day, but he's worth fighting for. I will not always get it right, but I will never give up . . . trying new ways, because raising a child with ADHD, you always have to find new ways. I guess you can say one thing . . . life is never dull.


First, I would like to thank everyone who has supported me over the years. Thank you for voting me into the office of Alderman Ward 3 back in 2005 and for my re-elections in 2009, 2013 and 2017. It has been a pleasure to serve the citizens of Ridgeland and exciting to be a part of the decisions that affect our daily lives. Working together with my fellow Aldermen, we strive to keep Ridgeland family-oriented and business-friendly.
Prior to my election, I had served on Ridgeland's Contractors Board of Adjustment and Appeals. During my time on the Contractors Board, I realized that every decision made by the Board of Aldermen affects every aspect of my life as well as everyone in the City. I wanted the best decisions to be made for my family, my business, and the people living within our City.
If, at any time, you have questions or concerns about our City, please do not hesitate to contact me either by e-mail or phone. I will always try to get back with you as soon as I can.

Vision is a precious gift of nature to the mankind that helps us to see the beautiful world around us. There are people with reduced or no vision. They can manage very well with the help of other aids. However, having clear sight is the most beautiful thing in our life. We should take good care of our eyes. In case of any anomaly observed, you should immediately get it examined by the doctor or a qualified medical professional.
Glaucoma refers to the group of eye diseases that result in optic nerve damage and irreversible loss of vision. Glaucoma can affect individuals having good vision too. Many forms of Glaucoma may not display any symptoms in the initial stages but the condition may aggravate during the later stages of the disease. The aggravated condition generally causes loss of vision due to irreversible damage to the optic nerve. It is highly recommended to approach a reputed eye hospital for the early detection and treatment of glaucoma to avoid loss of vision.
Glaucoma affects individuals of all age groups, not just the elderly people. However, the chances of glaucoma increase with age. A huge portion of open-angle glaucoma cases being age-related, is the proof for that. Several cases have revealed that glaucoma can occur even in new-born babies.

"Wait guys, wait. Do you know what it is to have a sister?". No one responded as if I had asked a rhetorical question. Their little eyes focused on me unimpressed and dissatisfied with my question. "It's a special gift... And each of you has two. I have two sisters. It's special to be a girl and have a sister.". Obviously my selling points were still rejected, so I continued, "Granny only has brothers". I went on giving examples of how people wish they had sisters. I brought up more people they knew who only had brothers. Their annoyance with each other was stronger than any argument I could make to impress upon them how awesome it was for them to have each other.
I continued, "You guys know who I call when I have a major life atrocity? My sisters. They are there forever…". My oldest then chimes in… "But mom, they're annoying". I absorbed the truth in her statement. Sisters are annoying sometimes. They can be catty and frustrating to deal with. As an older sister, I understood how entertaining your younger sisters could potentially be a drag. I explained, "Well, dear. Although your point may partly be true, I made you all for each other. And if you can't stand them, you can't stand yourself. They are made of the same material you are".
It made me do some thinking. I felt the same way about my sisters when I was younger. Constantly agitated and annoyed. I have two sisters- one is two years younger and the other eleven years younger. I thought about all the different memories that would have ended in other ways or would not even have occurred if I had no sisters. I thought back on all the arbitrary and meaningless complaints I spewed in their ears and all the tears that were shed on shoulders. I looked back on all the fist fights and yelling and screaming that happened between us. I wouldn't have traded these moments for the world.
Having a sister is very special. My sisters know everything about me. All of my garbage, my dumb and embarrassing tendencies. They know my secrets and my dreams. They know how to make me angry and how to make me smile. I call my sisters every morning during my commute to work. We have a long running Facebook message which keeps us updated on the exciting and important things that happen in our homes. Now that we are adults, I look at the mothers we've become wishing that we lived closer to each other. There's just something special about a good, strong sisterly bond. Hopefully my daughters can look back on their childhood with fondness. They'll remember all the trouble, the joy, the angst, the forced sharing, the bonding and hopefully they'll see that although friends may come and go, sisters are forever.


RALEIGH - Rod Brind'Amour remembers his first time like it was yesterday.
Brind'Amour remembers his first trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs - how he felt the night before, everything that comes with a new season -- as if it just happened, and wasn't 30 years ago.
The Carolina Hurricanes coach will lead the team into the post season for the first time in 10 years, with very little playoff experience on the roster.
His first major postseason action happened to be his first action with an NHL team, when he got the call to join the St. Louis Blues. He got called up late from Michigan State and was thrown right into playoff action. That was the start of a long career, with plenty of playoff games, 159 to be exact. He can talk to his guys about his experience, but his team will be taking it all in for the first time when the Hurricanes visit the Washington Capitals on Thursday.
Brind'Amour was 18 when he got called up and said the expectations then were way different. At 18, you play like you have nothing to lose. On his roster, there are plenty of guys who have played a lot of hockey with no playoff games under their belts. He expects a lot out of them because they have been around for a while. What he doesn't expect is for this group to get caught up in all the bright lights the postseason will bring.
Justin Faulk has played in 559 games in his career, all in Carolina, but like so many of his teammates, will experience the playoffs from the ice and not his sofa this year. Faulk had no issues watching the playoffs in previous years, just glad he doesn't have to this time around.
"It's fun to keep going and not having that feeling of knowing when the season is going to end," Faulk said.
Faulk hasn't reached out to anyone to see what to expect on the ice on Thursday. He's played enough hockey and understands what's on the line. When they clinched a playoff birth, Faulk knew what it meant to the organization. The Hurricanes last trip to playoffs came after the 2008-09 season, and that trip ended when they were swept by Pittsburgh in the conference finals.
Inside the locker room, players would argue that they've been playing "playoff hockey" for the last month, fighting for their lives to make it to the postseason.
Luckily for Pesce when he has playoff questions he doesn't have to reach out to anyone around the league for advice. He can just walk across the locker room to chat with Justin Williams, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, or talk with Brind'Amour.
