Poway, California, U.S. Trevi Moran (born Trevor Michael Moran; September 30, 1998) is an American recording artist, singer and YouTube personality. She rose to fame after participating in The X Factor in 2012 at the age of 13. As of April 2020, Moran's YouTube channel surpassed 1.4 million subscribers.
Like the previous channel he contributed to, Connor uploads videos for O2L every Monday to start off the week. ... He announced that he was leaving O2L on July 7th, 2014. On December 8th, 2014, he openly announced in a YouTube video that he is gay.
Not sure what you've read so just in case here's a spoiler tag : Trevor actually hates Micheal because he faked his death. They were like brothers before though.
2 days ago Ricky Dillon has an estimated net worth of about $100 thousand.

Ricardo Ordieres was also a part of the O2L channel – but decided to ignore the fans that asked him to comment. According to Ricardo, he quit the channel to focus on becoming a radio personality. However, many fans say that he was kicked out, after they realized he was only using O2L for fame.
Tyler Oakley is taking some time away from YouTube. After 13 years on the platform, Oakley has decided to step away for a while to work on other projects, the 31-year-old influencer announced on Tuesday in a YouTube video titled "See Ya Later." Like for many people, 2020 has been a rocky one for Oakley.
Grand Theft Auto V co-writer Dan Houser described Trevor as purely driven by desire and resentment. To make players care for the character, the designers gave the character more emotions. Trevor is shown to care about people very close to him, despite his antisocial behavior and psychotic derangement.
Trevor is the first protagonist in the whole GTA series who can successfully kill another protagonist from the previous game with no determinant status. Trevor is the first cannibalistic protagonist. ... This would make Trevor the first protagonist to also be a serial killer.
Due to her kind maternal nature and his own abandonment issues, Trevor falls in love with her and only returns her after much demanding from Michael. However, the two stay in contact until the end of the game.
O2L — which comprises Connor Franta, Ricky Dillon, Sam Pottorff, JC Caylen, Trevi Moran, and Kian Lawley — is widely considered one of YouTube's first big creator collectives, having spawned, at the height of their fame, a live tour and accompanying documentary.

Brian Shaw On Kobe Bryant: 'I Don't Think He Wants To Go Out That Way'
Lakers Rumors: Team Interested In Trading For Reggie Jackson?
Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports
Current Denver Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw has won five NBA titles during his career with three as a player with the Los Angeles Lakers and two as an assistant coach alongside Phil Jackson.
— Have You Seen These LIMITED EDITION "Bleed Purple and Gold" T-Shirts? —
During his stint in Los Angeles, Shaw got the opportunity to both coach and play alongside future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant. Shaw and Bryant became close as a result of their time together wearing purple and gold.
On Monday, the Nuggets went head-to-head against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center and Shaw was asked about the Kobe's shoulder injury. Shaw said the following about Kobe's future following the injury, via ESPN's Arash Markazi:
Brian Shaw on Kobe: "I don't think he wants to go out the way he's out now, on that note."
— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) January 27, 2015
As a result of the shoulder injury, Kobe has elected to have surgery to repair the torn rotator cuff. Bryant is expected to miss four to six months following surgery he'll undergo on Wednesday which should have him healthy and ready for the 2015-16 NBA season.
There has been a lot of speculation about Bryant's future with the superstar undergoing what appears to be third consecutive season-ending injury. Kobe has been adamant about going out on his own terms and for good reason considering his legacy and reputation as being one of the toughest players in NBA history.
As of right now, all signs point to Kobe returning for the final year of his contract with the Lakers. That could change depending on how his rehab goes, but right now the face of the Lakers franchise will be back for at least one more season.

How Do Touch Screens Work on Laptops and Tablets?
Режими за темата
wxunivne
Теми: 10
Член от: Jan 2022
Tapping into touch screens
Most of us are pretty familiar with touch screens. We use this technology daily with our phones, computers, at the ATM, or at the grocery store checkout. Even restaurants have implemented touch display ordering and payment right at the table. Even though we're constantly tapping and swiping our screens all day long, few of us can actually answer the question: how do touch screens work?
We're here to help uncover the mystery behind these interactive screens. Together, we can finally dispel the rumor that touch screens are operated by miniature robot elves completing your pointer finger's many commands. Let's discuss the most common touch screen technologies, how you can differentiate them, how they work, and how these technologies have impacted our daily lives.
Capacitive vs resistive touch screens
With the first touch screen debuting in 1965, we've seen incredible advancements in touch screen technology and computing technology in general. If we told E.A. Johnson that over 2 billion people currently carry touch screens in their pockets every day, he probably wouldn't have believed us. But that same technology he developed for the Royal Radar Establishment helped shape the future of the modern touch screen technology that we use daily [1].
There are many iterations of touch screen technology including infrared and surface acoustic wave (SAW), but there are two that most of us are familiar with. The most common smart touch board screens we interact with today are capacitive and resistive touch screens. Let's get to know how these technologies work, and where you'll see each.
Capacitive touch screens
Capacitive touch screen technology is the style we interact with most. This is the kind of display we see in our smartphones, laptops, and tablet screens, and digital signage.
Capacitive screens are made up of multiple layers of glass and plastic, coated with a conductor material like indium tin oxide or copper. This conductive material responds when contacted by another electrical conductor, like your bare finger. When you touch your screen, an electric circuit is completed at the point where your finger makes contact, changing the electrical charge at this location. Your device registers this information as a "touch event."
Once a touch event has been registered, the screen's receptors signal this event to the operating system, prompting a response from your device. This is the application's interface that you experience.
Capacitive touch screens generally have a brighter, clearer appearance and are much more sensitive than resistive touch smart board screens. We tend to see capacitive touch screens in more modern technologies like smartphones and tablets. They give us the ability to experience high-quality imagery that imitates reality.
With social media so integrated into our lives, we're constantly sharing and experiencing life through our devices. Being able to interact with high-quality applications with ease is made possible with the latest capacitive touch screens.
Resistive touch screens work exactly how their name implies - with resistance to touch. A glass or hard plastic layer is blanketed by a resistive metallic layer that conducts charge. The two are separated by spacers in the screen so that when your finger presses firmly on the plastic protective layer, the two layers make contact changing the electric charge at that location, which cues the software to respond.
Resistive screens are not as bright as capacitive because of their thick blue and yellow colored layers that make their interface appear darker than capacitive screens. You'll often see resistive screens used on ATM machines, checkout stands, and POS (point of sale) terminals. They tend to be much more durable and affordable than capacitive screens, thanks to that hard plastic outer layer.
Each screen has strengths and weaknesses that make it a better choice for certain applications. Capacitive screens with portable monitor offer more flexibility in functionality as resistive screens lack the ability to register multiple touch points at the same time.
Think about when you zoom in on your smartphone - you're using two fingers at different receptors to zoom in on an image. Resistive touch screens get confused when you try to apply multiple points to them, since their technology relies on recognizing pressure at a specific location.
What touch screens detect
What touch displays detect differs depending on if the screen is capacitive or resistive. Resistive screens rely on applied pressure which means that sometimes the tip of a pen or another object can initiate a response from the system. Capacitive touch screens use electrical conductors rather than pressure to recognize a command and respond.
But have you ever wondered why capacitive touch screens seem to only work with skin? While that's not entirely the case, capacitive screens do depend on a specific amount of electrical charge to get a response from the operating system.
This means that other objects with the same charge as your bare finger could complete the same request when using your phone, tablet, or interactive touch screen laptop. This is why touch screens respond to styluses, special gloves, and the occasional pocket-dial.
Before you slip on a pair of gloves ready to text all of your friends about how awesome your new gloves are though, you may want to make sure you've got the right pair. Touch screen gloves use conductive thread in the fingertips to maintain the natural electric charge of your finger. This means that not just any glove will be able to register your touch, so make sure you get the right kind of gloves before braving the winter with your smartphone.
While conductive threads and styluses work with touch displays, other objects like a regular pen will not. The difference is in the electric charge of the object. Pens actually have too much electrical charge for a touch screen to recognize. Your screen depends on the perfect recipe of electric charge to complete your requests. Fascinating, isn't it?
If touch screens work based on their ability to conduct and receive energy, how do touch screen protectors work?
Capacitive touch screens detect electrical current so they don't need to experience the pressure of your finger like resistive screens do. If your screen protector uses electrically transparent material, it won't affect the functionality of your screen because it will still be able to register the change in electric charge.
The good news is that as technology in touch screens has advanced, so have their durability. Touch TV Screen protectors aren't as necessary now as they were when consumers were first introduced to touch screen products. Many of us are still scarred by the first time we shattered the glass display on our shiny new device. Contrary to over-protective techies, you don't need to worry so much about the safety of your screen thanks to developments in materials.
Most devices use scratch-resistant material like Gorilla? Glass to protect your screen if it takes a short tumble - though we do not recommend testing your screen's limits. It's a durable glass, not the Incredible Hulk. For those who may be coordination-challenged, screen protectors are still a good option to keep your screen in pristine condition.
Most screen protectors are either made of plastic or tempered glass. Plastic protectors help to protect from scratching but don't do much for impact. If you're one of those coordination-challenged individuals we mentioned earlier, you may want to consider leveling up to a tempered glass protector, and maybe even a sturdy case to go along with it.
Depending on the thickness of the plastic, you may feel a difference in the sensitivity of your touch screen. Tempered glass adds a thick layer to your screen as well, but the feel is closer to your device's original screen.

Transfigured Night
Beloved Pianist Features in Orchestra Wellington's Dramatic
Equinoctial Concert
Wellington favourite, Diedre Irons is highlighting the bill in
Orchestra Wellington's latest in its Epic 2019 season.
Irons is performing J S Bach's first keyboard concerto, in an
arrangement which features a cadenza written by one of Bach's greatest
disciples, Johannes Brahms.
The September 21st concert at the Michael Fowler Centre, features two
other epic works from either end of the 19th century.
Beethoven's String Quartet, Op 131, which many regard as his finest,
is performed in an arrangement by the great Greek conductor, Dimitri
Mitropoulos, while the concert opens with Schoenberg's Transfigured
Night, his musical farewell to the romantic era.
Orchestra Wellington maestro Marc Taddei says he's excited to be
featuring works involving three of the great Bs of classical music.
"We've got music by Bach and Beethoven, with a cadenza by Brahms to
complete the trio".
Taddei says the orchestra is honoured to be working with Diedre Irons,
who has been one of the personalities of the country's classical music
scene for over forty years, with a passionate style that never fails
to win over an audience.
"One of the special things about this concert is all the music is an
arrangement of the original. It's not necessarily as the composers
first imagined it, but we're sure they would approve!," says Taddei.
In a special bonus, Orchestra Wellington fans coming to the
pre-concert talk will be able to hear the New Zealand String Quartet
perform Beethoven's Opus 131 in its original four instrument version,
before hearing the orchestral arrangement.
"It's not often you get two completely different takes on the same
great classical piece in one night".
Orchestra Wellington's, Transfigured Night, at the Michael Fowler
Centre on Saturday 21 September, with Diedre Irons performing JS
Bach's dramatic Concerto No.1 in D minor.


I also have books on The Rationality of War and Bargaining.
The textbook is only available via the Kindle format. However, you can read the book without actually owning a Kindle device. Amazon has free apps for just about every kind of device. Go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dig_arl_box?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771 for more information.
You can also read ebooks from Amazon by going to https://read.amazon.com/ which is Amazon's cloud reader.
Very nice work. Thank you so much for your efforts. I bought the $3.99 ($1 price increase) version. Still a bargain. What is nice is that once I bought it, Amazon has an app that let's me download it again (for free) to my iPod Touch. (Or maybe I m reading it from the Cloud — hard to tell. Still convenient.) Perfect level for short seminar that I may give soon to retired folks as a supplement.
Oops! I moved the price up a dollar when I added the third chapter. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. And I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
This is excellent material. I am taking a Coursera course but it is all video, and I need to have something in writing so this is a great accompaniment. Thanks!
I watched your videos with close attention and have a question and would be really grateful if you helped me out.
Can a person that breaks the independence axiom still be considered as a rational individual?
Yes. Rationality is just completeness + transitivity. You need those + independence + continuity for expected utilities, though.

Heavy snow engulfs Jammu and Kashmir, cuts it off from the rest of the country, India
Posted by Julie Celestial on January 5, 2021 at 14:45 UTC (15 days ago)
Categories: Blizzards, Featured articles, Ice & snow
Heavy snow closed the Jammu-Srinagar national highway and Mughal Road on January 2, 2021, stranding nearly 4 500 vehicles. Though the road was cleared of landslides, snow on the north portal of Jawahar Tunnel in Lower Munda hampered the movement of traffic. Meanwhile, flight operations at Srinagar airport are suspended for the third consecutive day, leaving Kashmir cut off from the rest of the country.
The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway was closed due to the heavy snow accumulation -- up to 1 m (3 feet) -- at many places, particularly around Jawahar Tunel, an official of the traffic control department said.
Nearly 4 500 vehicles, mostly trucks carrying essentials to the valley, were stranded along the 270 km (168 miles) road.
Around 2 500 vehicles were stranded between Udhampur and Ramban since Saturday evening, January 2, as well as 170 Srinagar-bound motor vehicles (LMV), 150 heavy vehicles besides 20 Jammu-bound LMVs. About 80 Srinagar-bound LMVS were trapped in Ramban and 50 HMVs in Chanderkot, while 190 Srinagar-bound tankers were stranded in Batote.
Though the road was cleared of landslides at Magerkot, Battery Chashma, Mom Passi, Marog, and Panthial in Ramban district, heavy snow on the north portal hampered the movement of traffic.
Hundreds of trucks from the avalanche-prone areas in Lower Munda were cleared and allowed to pass through the Jawahar Tunnel.
The National Highway Authority of India deployed crews and machinery to clear snow and debris from the affected stretches of the national highway.
Snow Clearance Operation started on Jammu Srinagar National Highway at Jawahar Tunnel.

Flight operations to and from Srinagar remained suspended for the third consecutive day on Tuesday due to poor visibility and heavy fresh snowfall, officials said.
Operations will resume only after the weather improves, they added.
"The runway has been cleared of snow but continuous heavy snowfall has led to flight operations being suspended due to poor visibility," an official of the Airport Authority of India told PTI.
The Meteorological office here has said moderate to heavy snowfall, with isolated very heavy snowfall, was most likely to take place until Wednesday morning.

Report – Liverpool made an offer to sign £209,000-a-week player – Decision made
September 29, 2020 September 29, 2020 Zahid 0 Comments dembele, newsnow
Liverpool have been linked with numerous attacking players in this summer transfer window and Ousmane Dembele is one of them.
The Reds have been interested in the French international and the latest reports suggest that they even made an offer to hire his services.
News – Fee agreed – Liverpool now pushing to seal signing – Report
As per today's version of Sport (press image provided below), Liverpool made a move to sign the World Cup winning star, who made his decision and said no to the offer from the Premier League champions.
The renowned Spanish news source have mentioned that Dembele's disciplinary problems were constant under previous managers and the situation has not changed even under Ronald Koeman.
Punctuality is not one of his strengths and it is reported that he arrived 15 minutes late for training.
However, the 23-year-old, who played for 20 minutes in the opening La Liga fixture, is showing positive attitude in training making it clear that he does not want a move away and wishes to succeed at the Nou Camp.
Sport claim that for arriving late again, this time, the £209,000-a-week player (Marca) will not be punished by the Catalan giants.
Apart from the disciplinary concerns, Dembele has got a terrible injury record (Transfermarkt). He missed 40 games in all competitions last season and has never been as good as he used to be with Borussia Dortmund.
In 2016, Klopp sent Sakho, who used to be a key player at Anfield, back to Liverpool from the team's US tour because he arrived late for training just once. The former PSG star never played for the Reds again.
Therefore, I do not think we should be looking to sign an injury prone trouble maker like Dembele and I'm glad we have lured Diogo Jota, who scored last night against Arsenal on his Premier League debut for us.
← Report – If Liverpool have convinced £105,000-a-week star to sign, it's game over for rivals
Ten changes – Liverpool's probable 4-3-3 XI vs Arsenal →

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Buried Age
A Tale of THE LOST ERA
Jean-Luc Picard. His name has gone down in legend as the captain of the U.S.S. Stargazer and two starships Enterprise. But the nine years of his life leading up to the inaugural mission of the U.S.S. Enterprise to Farpoint Station have remained a mystery–until now, as Picard's lost era is finally unearthed.
Following the loss of the Stargazer and the brutal court-martial that resulted, Picard no longer sees a future for himself in Starfleet. Turning to his other love, archaeology, he embarks on a quest to rediscover a buried age of ancient galactic history . . . and awakens a living survivor of that era: a striking, mysterious woman frozen in time since before the rise of Earth's dinosaurs. But this powerful immortal has a secret of cataclysmic proportions, and her plans will take Picard — aided along the way by a brilliant but naive android, an insightful Betazoid, and an enigmatic El-Aurian — to the heights of passion, the depths of betrayal, and the farthest reaches of explored space.
"This is a large-scale tale that's occasionally more akin to Arthur C. Clarke's universe than Gene Roddenberry's. Yet just before the book strays too far from the Trek track, it gets back on board with some first-class interactions between Picard and a clutch of very welcome characters…." — John Donnelly, SFX Magazine
"Bennett's take is quite surprising, fitting in with all the known facts, but adding a new layer to them." — Owen Morris, Dreamwatch SciFI
"Notable in Bennett's work is his creation of unique and lively civilizations… each of them are unique, interesting, and provide further proof that world building is far easier in print than on television." — Robert Lyons, TrekMovie.com
"Bennett loves his hard science and it always informs his tales, without overshadowing the story and characters at their heart. This is an interesting tale, well told." — Paul Simpson, StarTrek.com
Order from Barnes & Noble
Years ago, I imagined what stories I'd pitch if I ever became a Trek novelist. One of my ideas was for an epic trilogy (since trilogies were all the rage back then) filling in the nine years of Picard's life between the Stargazer and the Enterprise. It was never more than a very tentative notion, and I never got around to pitching it. And when it was announced a while back that editor Marco Palmieri intended to do a Lost Era novel covering this span, I assumed the task would go to Michael Jan Friedman, who's carved out a niche as the main chronicler of Picard's early career aboard the Stargazer. So I sadly gave up on my ambition.
I was thus very surprised when, some months later, Marco asked me out of the blue if I'd like to do the "Picard's missing years" novel. Naturally I said yes, and dredged up my old plans. I soon decided, though, that my original idea wasn't viable. It would've had Picard found guilty in the Stargazer court-martial and demoted for several years. This would've turned out to be the result of a conspiracy to keep Picard from getting command of the Enterprise, so that this key post would go to a conspirator instead. But the conspiracy idea has been done too many times in Trek by now. So ironically, even though I finally got to tell the story I'd wanted to tell for years, I had to start completely from scratch.
Marco's suggestion was an epic quest, probably involving archaeology, that would reawaken the disillusioned Picard's love of exploration. I got the sense he wanted something in a similar vein to Orion's Hounds in terms of its scope and conceptual breadth. So I thought about doing for deep time what I did for deep space in OH — exploring and filling in the uncharted reaches of Trek prehistory. As with OH, I built on a lot of ideas I'd been working on for my original SF. Which is cool, because that required me to rethink the galactic history for my original SF universe and come up with something new that I'm very happy with.
In a way, though, this was as much a book about the distant future as the distant past, because the hyperadvanced civilizations of the past suggested paths for the future evolution of humanity. My depiction of their advances and abilities was heavily influenced by transhumanist science fiction, and by the possibilities suggested by existing trends in genetics and cybernetics. Ironically, many of the "incredibly advanced" technologies and bodily enhancements possessed by these ancients are ones that humanity may well achieve long before the 24th century. We've already surpassed Star Trek tech in a lot of ways, and medical advances like Geordi's VISOR are the stuff of the next decade, not three and a half centuries from now.
My original trilogy idea did have an impact on the structure of this book, if not the plot. Since nine years is a long time, I knew I couldn't just tell one story. So I structured it episodically, essentially as four novellas. The last three parts in particular have close ties and tell a larger story, but each part has its own focus, its own beginning and end, its own distinct characters and settings. And the only characters who are in all three, Picard and the mysterious woman mentioned in the cover blurb, are in a distinct phase of their lives and relationship in each part.
Of course, this wasn't just a quest story. I knew I had to explore how Picard became the man we met in TNG. We knew he was an aloof, professorial, even forbidding figure there, yet over the years we learned he had a wealth of old friends and old flames. So I knew something must have happened to change him, and that would be the core of my story. But I also wanted to explore how he became captain of the Enterprise, how and why he chose his command crew, what shaped his values, choices and relationships, and so on.
And yet I had to balance this with the fact that these events were never referenced in TNG — the main problem faced by any prequel. So I chose to tell a story that took Picard far afield from the events and politics featured in TNG, both literally and figuratively. I considered making the whole thing classified or having it erased from Picard's memory, but that would've been the lazy way out; I tried to find subtler reasons why Picard would not have discussed these events.
Also, as much as I could, I tried to work in references to events and lines from TNG so that it would seem as though those events and lines were references back to this book. The goal was to create the illusion that the characters in TNG were talking and thinking about the events of The Buried Age on many occasions, but that the viewer just didn't realize it until now. The book foreshadows and influences many later events. Why did Picard value consensus among his crew? Why did he want a first officer not afraid to defy him? Why did he trust Deanna Troi and Guinan so much? Why did he get invited to speak at archaeological conferences? All because of things that happened in TBA.
I felt a heavy Shakespeare focus was essential as well, to commemorate Patrick Stewart's distinguished career as a Shakespearean actor and to acknowledge the Shakespearean flavor that much of Star Trek has always had. Also, a couple of those old SF ideas of mine that dealt with ancient, reawakened civilizations used titles and names inspired by passages from The Tempest (such as "O brave new world" or "When I wak'd I cried to dream again"), so it was a natural fit.
I hit a major snag early in the writing process when I learned my initial plans for the Stargazer court-martial wouldn't work. It took a long time to research military and civilian law and figure out a new approach. At the same time, I was distracted by the then-ongoing news about the attempts to redefine the term "planet." I got caught up in reading about all the exciting new discoveries made in planetary sciences over the past few years, and it was keeping me from focusing on the novel. So I took a cue from Riva ("Loud as a Whisper") and tried to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Rather than trying to shake my preoccupation with planetary sciences, I used it to help me focus on the novel by incorporating a lot of this material into the novel itself. Thus, the novel features a variety of exotic planetary environments and star systems of types never seen before in Star Trek. Hopefully that adds a sense of grandeur and adventure to the narrative.
But please, don't ask me to write another huge, sweeping Star Trek epic anytime soon. After Orion's Hounds and The Buried Age, I'm exhausted.

The Disney Cruise Line has just updated its Covid-19 policy, allowing children younger than 12 to join a Disney cruise without being vaccinated from next month.
Yesterday, the Walt Disney Company subsidiary updated its information page regarding Covid-19 health requirements for passengers in the US and Canada. The current measures will apply until 1 September, but, as of 2 September, the new requirements will be followed.
Disney World was modifying photos to add face masks to visitors
For sailings departing US and Canadian ports through September 1, 2022, Disney Cruise Line requires Guests ages 5 and older to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 at the time of sailing, as defined by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Beginning September 2, 2022, for sailings departing US and Canadian ports, Disney Cruise Line will only require Guests ages 12 and older to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 at the time of sailing, as defined by the CDC.
Although it will no longer be mandatory, the cruise line still highly recommends that guests ages 11 and younger be fully vaccinated before sailing, in consideration of CDC guidance.
As for testing requirements, these differ depending on a passenger's vaccination status. Fully vaccinated guests on sailings departing US and Canadian ports must provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test result taken one to 2 days before setting sail to be exempt from embarkation testing at the terminal.

Pre-trip test results must be uploaded into the Inspire Diagnostics Safe Passage website by midnight prior to embarkation day. Guests who do not upload test results by midnight prior to embarkation day must be tested at the terminal on embarkation day before boarding the ship and will be charged for the cost of the test, $74 (USD) or $95 (CAD) plus tax for the initial antigen test, and, if needed, $125 (USD) or $160 (CAD) plus tax for a confirmatory PCR test.
Travellers who are not fully vaccinated must provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken one to 3 days before the sail date. The test should be a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT), a rapid PCR test or a lab-based PCR test. Rapid antigen tests are not accepted. This will be the first of 2 tests required, the second test being conducted at the terminal on embarkation day, paid for by Disney Cruise Line.

Spanish Archaeologists Continue Works to Recover the Elaborate Villa of the Emperor Hadrian
In the second century AD, the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a villa for his personal enjoyment as he was not content in his official palace on Palatine Hill. Located on the outskirts of Tivoli, Rome, Hadrian's villa was actually a small town – complete with palaces, fountains, baths, and a number of buildings that imitated the different architectural styles of the Egyptians and Greeks. Now, a team of Spanish archaeologists has been excavating the site to determine the distribution of the various elements that made up Hadrian's villa ( Villa Adriana in Italian).
According to information published by the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia , the team is a group of experts consisting of archaeologists, researchers, and students of the University Pablo de Olavide (UPO) in Seville, who have been involved in the excavations of Hadrian's villa since 2003. With a total of 120 hectares to study, this season of excavations will focus on the area of the Palazzo.

"We are in a central area of the villa, in a significant area of the villa, because it is the first residential building constructed by the Emperor Hadrian in the Villa Adriana. The area 'Palazzo' has many problems and it is not yet understood, there are many doubts about many interpretive aspects of this sector of the villa that we intend to solve with our project," said the director of the project and professor of Archaeology at UPO, Rafael Hidalgo .

Throughout the 13 years of fieldwork, they have found that there were originally three courtyards with wooden floors, marble walls of different colors in the imperial residence and, although most of the decoration was plundered, there are still some remnants which clearly show Hadrian's passion for ostentation and luxury.
"Playing with pieces of marble that we finding in excavations, we can reconstruct what all this was before it was sacked. We know that these spaces were decorated with marble, both the floor and the walls," Rafael Hidalgo told La Vanguardia.

To date, one of the most important discoveries that the Spanish experts have brought to light in the area of the "Palazzo", has been the oldest known Roman 'stibadium' (banquet hall) - a room that became fashionable during the Roman empire, although its origin is much older.
They were also able to confirm that there were a number of indoor rooms in the residential palace, exclusively for the use of the emperor, that open onto a central courtyard. There was a great fountain with two individual latrines on the sides as well.

"The individual latrine is a very important feature of the Villa Adriana because the use of latrines in the Roman world did not have the same concept of privacy that we have today, so it is very unusual that a Roman building has a latrine with a single seat" Hidalgo explained to La Vanguardia.
Finally, the palace was also found to have housed, as expected, a "garden terrace", which in turn flowed into a large porch.

Plaintiff filed this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action is before the court on plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (DE #41), filed on February 25, 2011. In this posture, the matter is ripe for adjudication.
Summary judgment is appropriate when there exists no genuine issue of material fact, and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. 242, 247 (1986). The party seeking summary judgment bears the burden of initially coming forward and demonstrating an absence of a genuine issue of material fact.Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986). Once the moving party has met its burden, the nonmoving party then must affirmatively demonstrate that there exists a genuine issue of material fact requiring trial. Matsushita Elec. Industrial Co. Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986). There is no issue for trial unless there is sufficient evidence favoring the non-moving party for a jury to return a verdict for that party.Anderson, 477 U.S. at 250.
In his motion, plaintiff makes the bare allegation that he is entitled to summary judgment on his claims. Plaintiff, however, does not present any reasoning or evidence to support his conclusory allegation that he is entitled to summary judgment. Accordingly, plaintiff has not met his burden of demonstrating an absence of genuine issue of material fact. Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at 323. Therefore, plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (DE # 41) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this the 30th day of April, 2011.

Christian parents will sue school for allowing a boy to wear a dress in class
BY Jessica Marie Ruxton
A Christian couple a threatening to sue a Church of England primary school because they allowed a boy in their son's class to wear a dress.
The family took their six-year-old out of the school and have vowed to homeschool him instead. This happens only a year after they took their eight-year-old son out of the same school because of the same reason.
The school, which has not been named, told the parents that they followed the Church of England guidance stating that transgender people were protected under the Equalities Act.
A video for Christian Concern shows the couple talking about the matter. His mother, Sally Rowe, said that her son was becoming ''quite ill and stressed'' because of the boy in his class wearing a dress.
She went on to say:
"He was under stress partly because of the way he learns as a boy – he enjoys being outside – and also the confusion that was caused by having a boy in his class who decided to announce that they were going to have a girl's name and be dressed as a girl."
According to The Sunday Times, the couple reiterated that they were simply not prejudiced against transgender people.
The boy's father, Nigel Rowe, said:
"There needs to be a different way of addressing this. a school environment is not the best place to be addressing this".
A Diocese of Portsmouth spokesman said:
"Our schools are inclusive, safe spaces where pupils learn to respect the diversity of all kinds. We comply with the legal requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and believe that all should feel welcomed, valued and nurtured as part of a learning community."

Chris Christie Loses a Vote
Noah Berlatsky
After the bridge scandal, I don't want him for president.
Chris Christie's administration was involved in closing a key New Jersey bridge in order to create a traffic jam in Fort Lee, NJ. The democratic mayor of Fort Lee didn't support Christie's re-election effort, so the Christie-ites decided to screw over the whole community, and (they hoped) to hurt the mayor's election chances. David Wildstein, a long-time Christie confederate and appointee to the New York/New Jersey port authority, contemplated the giant, deliberately created traffic snarl, which prevented students from reaching school, and said jokingly in a publicly revealed email, "I feel sorry for the kids. I guess." A couple of people may have lost their lives because of delayed emergency services related to the bridge snarl.
Christie's been busily firing people associated with the scandal (including Wildstein) and he's claiming it was all done without his knowledge by overzealous subordinates. Meanwhile, political analysts like Brendan Nyhan are wondering what this means for 2016. Christie's landslide in the recent New Jersey election had poised him as strong contender for the Republican nomination.
So, does this knock Christie out of the race? Probably not, especially if the scandal stops here, and there's nothing linking Christie directly to the order to the bridge shutdown. I'm sure the vast majority of the American public neither knows nor cares about this. In fact, I'm sure the vast majority of the American public doesn't even know who Christie is. By the time they find out, the scandal will just be one of those things, like Biden's plagiarism; the faint stink of dirty laundry that hangs around any politician. Any long-term effects will be limited.
I can speak to at least one of those limited effects. I'm a lot less likely to support Christie than I was a week ago.
If you've read my writing, you know I'm a lefty pinko, and that in general I vote for the Democrats. I'm not above crossing the aisle on occasion, though, and I've voted in Republican primaries before (as I did in the last election.) One thing that might cause me to cross the aisle is a chance to give the Republican party a solid push towards sanity. Christie's a Northeast GOP centrist; a breed that the last few election cycles all but killed off. He's willing to work with, and even be seen in photos with, President Obama. He's made the usual Republican noises about ObamaCare, but made some effort to get people into the expanded Medicare program when push came to shove. He certainly hadn't won me over, but if he were running against Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden—neither of whom I'm especially enthusiastic about—I'd be interested in hearing what he had to say.
I'm significantly less interested now, though. There are a lot of things wrong with Obama, but it's been a substantial relief to have someone in the White House who is not (unlike so many of his predecessors, from Reagan to Clinton to George W.) a corrupt, venal prick. Obama can be paranoid and vindictive (as the handling of the Edward Snowden case shows), but Nixonian bullying and deliberate circumvention of the law for personal gain has not been a hallmark of his administration (as far as we know, at least.)
Christie's state machine, on the other hand, appears to have cavalierly screwed over a town's worth of his constituents for the pleasure of scoring a gratuitous political point or two. Even if Christie himself wasn't involved, it shows an ugly lack of judgment to surround yourself with subordinates who think that other people's lives are less important than petty revenge. I'd still like to be able to support a Republican candidate who isn't frothing at the mouth. But if my choices are frothing at the mouth or corrupt bully, then I'm going to end up voting for the Democrat.

Holograms for your phone: how one company plans to do it, glasses-free
I gotta hear about a company called icone that's developing a holographic platform for phones that will allow you to create holographic images, share them with friends all around you and even engage in holographic chat. This isn't smart glasses. This is some sorta thing that you attach to your phone and can view volumetric 3D content on That sounds pretty crazy. And yet not unlike some stuff that I've already seen. I really was curious to see how it works and what this is all about. So I'm talking to Taylor Scott and Joe Ward from Ikan, who hopefully can explain how this functions.>> Yeah, so a little more detail as far as what we're going to be providing and the game changing nature of the device that is coming to market. So The combination of really unique hardware, a lot of intellectual property patents that go into creating both a unique lens system to hold a denser light yield, and actually be able to control it via volume. As well as some really unique artificial intelligence that we use, we refer to it as neuroadaptive artificial intelligence Being able to gain a profile over time to figure out what is the best absolute possible experience that to retinas need to perceive and then going out to for a 12 how many people need to proceed the perfect environment and gauging the computation power required as well as the cell signal that's available and being able to throttle all of those invariance to create the best possible experience. So this is something that is not do you have to wear any glasses or is this black glasses free, Glasses free. It has touch control, gesture control, as well as all the unique controls that are currently with your mobile phone being able to use accelerometer systems, tracking systems AR systems as well. We actually in sort of embed our artificial intelligence as a foundational layer that can be drawn and used for all of these control mechanisms. So essentially think of a A portal window that you can attach to your phone that gives you a view to a whole new dimension without goggles.>>So what's really interesting I mean there's a lot of interesting things here about I I've seen some some light field types of displays looking glass factory and, and NC Sony's display that they announced at the end of last year. But I read about it and then I, want, like if you apply this to another device is it a kind of a lens that enables the existing screen to create. Light field display. Essentially, we're teaching the phone a whole new way of projecting imagery and a whole new way of creating light. And again, you have essentially a supercomputer in your pocket at all times with the mobile phone. And there's a lot of things that can be done with it that are not currently being done with it because people haven't really evolved beyond that. What's currently been narrowed again AR is a great stepping stone for that evolution, which is why we fought really hard in the last five years that I can to be able to be agnostic with different AR libraries so everybody on the planet can get into this space and utilise that holographic system. For us the real passion behind the design is, And it's a tale as old as time. That term holographic is used to refer to so many things. I mean people even refer to it when it comes to digital signals. We'll say it's holographic. It And while it may be indeed holographic from a physics definition, the average consumer when you say hologram thinks of Princess Leia is floating in a device and she's interacting with you and she's also volumetric. So for us it's good to do both volumetric but actually gives the phone the ability to project life elsewhere. In an open field, so I can see both the hologram and everything else around me naturally. That is the hologram that people want. And that's what we can do with the device that you currently have and our accessory When I met Taylor, he had this concept and this technology were really was focused on projection systems. And although that's really cool, my background is in technology and And really, I leaned into that experience and said, I'd really like to develop a platform, an open platform that developers could have access to the SDK, and really let the market create content for that platform and really derive, not only content providers, but distribution models and revenue streams from those various verticals. So Although gaming is gonna be big for us, we really have shied away from being pigeonholed into that gaming company only. So I think you can see all the different vertical markets that we can impact so we think we're doing it the right way. And it's taken us about three and a half years to get to this point. So it's been a lot of hard work by a great team. But we're really excited about where we're going in 2021. I know you mentioned to or at least in the in the original invite about possibly seeing a demo as a pop, is there something at all that's here or is it something that I'd love to see that if there is something, Yeah so I'm gonna let Taylor comment on the specifics, but I will say that we have just a couple. We shared with us today that we'll also share with you and for obvious reasons were a few months away from really letting you in to see a lot more than that. But tiller can walk you through what you're about to see. So, this is an example of both interplay as well as. What we referred to when we said 90% opacity, and the ability to create really strong forms of life that can both overwhelm and integrate based on what we want. So we'll share that now. So, again, this is the last one, one interesting thing. We've heard of it as the wasp, of course. But if you look at it, we actually have a unique form of synthetic. So the one thing that you can't really optically invisibly control is black because again, black is the opposite of light energy. We have a unique algorithm that can take the ambience of the room and create. Create whatever synthetic color needs to appear to where you can always perceive blacks. You'll notice he still has that vest, you can still see the antenna, you can make out the fact that those are indeed black even though it's impossible to project. Again, that's unique part of our AI we know what you need to see at all times. And again, being able to integrate with this and just what we don't have in this specific video here is the ability to both read out on multiple sides of the device, the gesture control so he can actually land on the hand can actually walk around it. We have we have many tests and kids will put bottles and cups and he'll actually able to go inside of the cup and around the bottle and things like that via our tracking So can also do some level of occlusion like it has it has built in occlusion for objects. So even more than that is is we're utilizing the object tracking epic occlusion. And that currently exists in existing AR environments that are natural to program for because there's been a rapid evolution of that ability in the last three to four years. So this is actually we naturalized with that tracking, and we utilize our AI to create that exact experience and think about it. It's also bigger than this because rather than being closer to just the AR environment, we have to move your phone Now, it can be stationary and I can move around it in a massive field of view, I don't have to have that whole, the AR frame that everybody sees when you're, when you're in that in the zone that no longer exists, I can actually have it I can place it on a table and move around my new depth field portal view and get that same experience. So it's an interplay here you see the 2D phone has that same depth field. You'll notice here is we use all the different saturated colors that you can utilize in these systems. And even though his hand is very bright, so it's catching a lot of light and it's white, we still retain it on a percent opacity. So at all times, you'll notice how bright the colors as well as the depth of resolution matching the phone itself. So the angles very sharp, very clean, and being able to actually swipe. Both up and down. So one thing that he's not doing here that you can do is he can actually take his hand and touch that light field and actually manipulate the rollerball inside of the hologram and then swipe it back down to the 2D phone and utilize two different sets of touch control as well as gesture control. So it really will be like an extended display like you could have this be something that you could combine both into One experience or, move sign to the other? Exactly, one of the my favorite experiences that we that we program with here, is that we are building into our SDK, the ability to split programming functions. So you can actually have, your streaming service, played, on the 2d phone. And you can have all the chat features, your text messaging systems, emailing systems, all within the hologram. And nobody's ever been able to really type, in a holographic medium before. It's actually it's incredibly cool and evocative. But you can actually respond to the notification, things like that you can completely split the design of your application to give them everything, give the user everything that they would need. So that for the system. So again, a big issue, like for me, when it comes to streaming services is to watch real time commenting and the system and any secondary UI features. It gets very cramped. We allow you to completely open that up. When you turn any phone into effectively to screen device to so you can kind of get to some holographic version of like a Microsoft duo or something, like you could potentially. Exactly right I mean there's so many different attempts to increase screen size and it's just a an alternative way of doing that. [BLANK_AUDIO] That's pretty amazing cuz I, when I had played with dual screen phones, I often found like, I'd wanna watch something and then I'd wanna chat or comment and, Right. And then sometimes apps would not necessarily interface as well as I would have liked with that. But I'm curious about the possibilities for that here. We could throw that. Experience whatever it is on that other holographic display. Exactly, for us, nobody's ever been able to send a text message with volume depth and alike. You think emojis and emojis are fun now being able To actually send them with vibrant depth animations, massive, massively different. I mean, for me, I can honestly say every week I send about 15 messages with the fireworks animation on my iPhone. Just for no reason. I'm just saying hello and there's fireworks blowing up everywhere. To do that in a holographic depth field is a game changer because it's genuinely integrated with the environment because of the fact that we can read so much the environment. Fireworks sparks can actually fall on the depth of the table behind you and have integrated experiences, things like that. So being able to separate those increases productivity and being able to change the way you design it increases the overall engagement. And you're confident it'll fit a variety of phones? I mean, I'm curious if it's a case or whether it's, what that will feel like. There's a long list of phones that is compatible with. Again, we were very, very bullish when we went through the design of a hardware system to, one, be as functional as possible. So there's never a time that it's annoying. There isn't. The other is the three things the other we don't want in any way to affect the power of your phone the actual management of energy having to strip away power to you know, create a large open space projection system. Can I start like a crazy far future thing is that because it's CES, and we just want to do this What do you think these are going to be in five years? What's happening here with holograms and AR and where you think it's all gonna shake out? I know Joe probably has an answer to but I got a little I get excited that question, [LAUGH] For me that's why we're so passionate about 2021. Being the year that we have services of being able to both translate existing data, and really easily make new volumetric data. The library and the universe of content that we're about to have in the next five years is going to make old 2d photos look so incredibly archaic. You know, like when, when the iPhone came out, we look back six months later and went, man, what were we thinking with those old flip phones like we had instant nostalgia, that's 2021 20 to 23 are going to be game changers when it comes to how we view Media no longer in a flat computerized world but an actual dimensional system over the next five years that's going to completely change the way we engage with each other even a from a virtual context of being able to have a zoom call pre COVID or post. Post COVID environment is going to change the way we integrate with each other and it's gonna overall improve the emotional relationship that people have by these communication systems. And anytime I hold on phones, but how applicable is this tech to going anywhere els, let'se say connected to a computer or even on your wrist or something like. Standalone you know, do you see it moving into those spaces. 100% we do have in our product roadmap, a number of developments. The next event will be a clip to take the the actual mobile device and be able to clip it onto your laptop or tablet. And take advantage of that ecosystem. And then ultimately an entirely different device that's much larger that adapts to your tablet or laptop leading up to ultimately what we call healios which is you know, its own operating system biometric PC. So we, from the business standpoint, which by the way is my job and all of this Taylor's a real smart guy, but but we have a really robust product roadmap against those deliverables, which we're really excited about. I get the ideas and i think it's it's fascinating and I think I haven't done I have not seen anything. That's Ambitiously gone towards trying to meet where phones are going with AR. So I think that's a really interesting fusion, that kind answers that cause he's in the phone AR and we see in the headset stuff, [CROSSTALK] This is that interesting middle zone. And this is the foundation of a new visual technology that people haven't had before and it will be building over the course of the next five years to more even more incredible devices, accessory systems standalone systems we mentioned the ability to integrate from a laptop environment of the phone and tablet as well as release A passion for us specifically because do you think but a COVID environment very few people are using their mobile phone for education systems. But we will be giving people the ability to integrate that same system onto a laptop or a tablet where those education systems are indeed being utilized more frequently, as well as from medical systems most often they'll utilize tablets. Being able to integrate with that system as well. It gives us the ability to cross pollinate a litany of verticals by jumping onto devices that are used for those purposes. I really appreciate this time. It's a it's a great CES story. So I'm really curious to see. I'm curious to see what comes next with it. I wanna follow up and see part two of this. That'd be cool. Thank you for reaching out. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

Bicentennial Commemoration Continues With Symposium on History With Slavery
The symposium, "Universities, Slavery, Public Memory and the Built Landscape," is the second major event of the University's bicentennial commemoration. (Photos by Sanjay Suchak, University Communications)

One of the core tenets in planning and commemorating the University of Virginia's bicentennial is telling a fuller story of its history: who has been part of it, how the institution has changed and continues to change.
Toward that end, UVA President Teresa A. Sullivan said hosting this week's symposium, "Universities, Slavery, Public Memory and the Built Landscape," as the second major event of the bicentennial commemoration was intentional. Organized by the President's Commission on Slavery and the University, which Sullivan formed in 2013, the symposium is offering more than 30 panel discussions and concurrent sessions, with 125 presenters from colleges, universities and other institutions sharing how they have begun to grapple with their histories of slavery.
"In honoring UVA's achievements," Sullivan said, "we can't let them blind us to our shortcomings, and in talking about our shortcomings, we can't let them blind us to our achievements." The outcome of telling this history will be giving students and the public opportunities to learn more about what it has been and where it is headed, and to join together in that future, she said.
"The University of Virginia has become a leader nationally, educating and commemorating the contributions of the enslaved," said Dr. Marcus L. Martin, a commission co-chair and UVA's vice president and chief officer for diversity and equity. The commission's aims include restoration, roots and remembrance, and discovering new knowledge and new solutions to honor the enslaved laborers who were cornerstones to UVA's history, he said.
Nearly 500 attendees from 61 colleges and universities, 17 historic sites and other groups, including descendants of the enslaved are attending the symposium, "Universities, Slavery, Public Memory and the Built Landscape."
The symposium, which started Wednesday and continues through Saturday, is being hosted by the president's commission, and serves as the semiannual meeting of Universities Studying Slavery consortium. It has drawn nearly 500 attendees from 61 colleges and universities, 17 historic sites and other groups to the Grounds to hear about and discuss the work of investigating, preserving and making public the legacies of slavery at universities and at nearby historic sites. Among the participants, presenting and attending, are descendants of enslaved people, who several speakers emphasized are key collaborators in telling the history of slavery and its legacies.
Saturday's events will include visiting the former plantations of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, James Madison's Montpelier and James Monroe's Highland, the three former U.S. presidents who laid UVA's cornerstone 200 years ago.
In his welcoming remarks, commission co-chair and UVA history professor Kirt von Daacke said there's no clearer evidence of the importance of these efforts and the work that needs to be done than the recent events staged in Charlottesville by white supremacy groups. Presenting the legacy of slavery at UVA, he said, must be a dynamic process to provide visible formats and curricula that acknowledge a fuller past and link it to present issues.
Thursday's first panel discussion focused on slavery and its legacies at UVA. Moderator Elizabeth R. Varon, Langbourne M. Williams Professor of American History and associate director of UVA's John L. Nau III Center for Civil War History, offered the theme of challenges to unearthing this history and connecting it to the present with continued commitment to change a culture that has largely excluded this fuller history.
Associate professor Ervin L. Jordan Jr., a research archivist who has worked in UVA's Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library for some 40 years, discussed the painstaking work of trying to piece together what African-Americans did on Grounds and what was done to them, since the records and other documents were created by white leaders and students.
Von Daacke outlined an online initiative he and other faculty members began about five years ago to explore the archives and create digital resources that could be made available. The JUEL project – Jefferson's University … The Early Life – is digitizing many 19th-century documents in Special Collections, and is recreating 1850s buildings, some of which no longer exist, and digitally placing them back onto the Grounds in 3-D models. UVA students are doing a lot of this work, he said, supported by a grant from the Jefferson Trust.
Varon mentioned that the 19th-century records include "harrowing tales of student violence against slaves," and how enslaved workers tried to assert their resistance. On the other hand, modern UVA students almost 10 years ago were among the first to advocate for some memorialization of the contributions of enslaved laborers – in fact, first suggesting a memorial whose planned design was recently approved by UVA's Board of Visitors.
The first panel on "Slavery and Its Legacies at UVA" included student Wes Gobar and faculty members Patrice Grimes, Ervin L. Jordan Jr., Louis Nelson and Kirt von Daacke, with professor Elizabeth Varon as moderator.
"Students have been the driving edge," said associate professor of education Patrice Grimes, a member of the commission and associate dean.
"Schools and schooling mirror outside traditional structures," Grimes said. "What's crucial is to show why this history is culturally important."
Von Daacke also outlined the Cornerstone Summer Institute, another commission initiative that brings high school students to the Grounds; its curriculum aims to link the distant past to recent past to today.
"Students say they want to come here because this is a university acknowledging this history," he said.
He also described the commission's work to develop courses for UVA students. There is now a course for first- and second-year students offered in the fall that brings in professors from a range of disciplines to teach aspects of the University's history, and an advanced seminar that will be held in the spring semester enabling students to dive deeper into UVA history.
The design team for the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers conducted a months-long process, meeting with students, faculty and staff and also community members, especially from nearby African-American neighborhoods – which Grimes said was one of the most fascinating collaborations she's been part of.
Research has thus far uncovered the names of almost 1,000 enslaved people who worked at the University and will be included in the memorial. Jordan estimates there may have been 4,800 enslaved and free blacks based on 19th-century records. He would like to see them honored as heroes and contributors, he said.
Fourth-year student Wes Gobar, president of UVA's Black Student Alliance, recounted being part of the counterprotest at the Aug. 12 "Unite the Right" rally. There, he saw that the white supremacists – ostensibly there to protest the city's decision to move statues of Lee and Jackson – were not yelling about the statues, he said, but reflecting their racist culture.
The intimidation and violence of the Aug. 12 rally felt familiar to what he had researched earlier in the summer – the 1887 Thibodaux massacre in Louisiana, when white paramilitary groups killed at least 35 black people and wounded as many as 300 after a massive strike of sugar cane laborers. That violence pacified African-Americans, he said.
The lesson he learned, Gobar said, is to proceed without fear, to keep working to make positive changes.
"I'd like to see more of that in pedagogy and policy, to make progress out of this moment," he said.
The president's commission, von Daacke said, is also thinking about how rituals and other events can make this history part of the students' lived experience and connect them not just to the past but also to the Charlottesville community.

Video: Gravity doesn't really apply to world champion jet skier Eli Kemnitz when he's on one of those floating rockets. Just watch him freestyle and bust out an array of jumping tricks on flat water. You get to see see it a little bit from his perspective but the really wild part is just watching him spin and then bounce, spin and then bounce, and spin and then bounce like the water is a freaking trampoline.

Q: Cant ping neither the gateway nor the internet if not already pinged with the gateway Im quite new to networking, i tried to look for the response to my problem but i didnt find it.
I have 4 vm's, that we will call 1,2,3,4. The first ( the gateway) one have a host-only and bridge network card, the others only have a host-only.
I settled some iptables rules to redirect the vm's 2,3,4 packets to the gateway to give them acces to the internet, it worked, but i cant neither ping the gateway nor 8.8.8.8 e.g. as long as i didnt pinged the vm's with the first one (the gateway), after i did this i can ping the gw, google and all that, before that ic an only ping the local machines. I would like to have access to the internet and to ping the GW without having to ping it with the GW.
Here are the iptables rules that i settled :
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A FORWARD -i enp0s8 -o enp0s3 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i enp0s3 -o enp0s8 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp0s3 -j MASQUERADE

There is the interface of the first VM:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo enp0s8
iface lo inet loopback
auto lo enp0s3
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet dhcp
auto enp0s8
iface enp0s8 inet static
        address 192.168.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0

and there is one of my others vm's the others have the same, just the ip is different:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet static
        address 192.168.1.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1

Thanks !, and is it normal that when i type iptables -S i cant see the last rule above ?

Need Some Inspiration for Street Photography? Choose a Theme!
Have you ever fallen into a creative slump, when you just didn't know what to shoot? It's a problem for every photographer sooner or later, and street photographers are no exception. While there may be new photo opportunities around every corner, sometimes just walking around looking for the shot isn't enough to wake up your muse. This is especially true if you spend a lot of time in the same city; after a while, it seems you've already shot everything there is to see.
Intersections and street corners are often centers of bustling activity of one form or another, whether it might be the crowds waiting for the crosswalk signals, panhandlers with their cardboard signs or the rush of the traffic. The architecture of buildings, colors, signs and other features can come together in very interesting ways at these corners, too. This is a good theme to start with and can lead to others with the things you find.
From quaint little shop windows to the walls of towering skyscrapers, one of the things you'll find plenty of in the city is glass. Where there's glass, there are reflections and they often go unnoticed. Try making a conscious effort to focus on just the things you see reflected in windows for a while. Couples shopping, billowing clouds, street lights and traffic lights – you won't run out of subjects on this one for quite some time.
This one might put off a few readers, what with all the self-proclaimed heroes out there posting videos of themselves doing nice things for people on the street. On the other hand, looking for unsung heroes while you're out there can turn up some surprising finds. Take some time to look for simple acts of kindness that happen every day while no one notices. It's fuel for some great photos and will leave you feeling a little better about the world at the end of the day.
I could go on all day giving you ideas for themes that you might find in your city or those that you visit, but there's really no need. The best way to use this idea is to simply keep it in mind while you're shooting. Think about the things you see often and those you see rarely. What do the shops and the people have in common? What separates them? A little creative thought is all you need to come up with ideas of your own for themes and for every one you find, the possibilities for that perfect shot will be there.
When you get those great shots, why not put them out there in a gallery of your own on KeepSnap and see how well viewers react to your theme ideas? You may even sell a few, especially if you left your KeepSnap card with the people that ended up in your shots. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do yourself a favor and go open a KeepSnap account today. (It's free!) Take a look here.

Our client purchased a nearly completed 9 bedroom, 9 bathroom country Manor House with swimming pool, gymnasium, games room and media room. Rather than installing an 85KW LPG boiler and burying a large tank to store the fuel to run it, Bright Green Renewables undertook a 365 day simulation of the heat input required for the property and proved that the heating requirements could be provided by a single Daikin High Temperature heat pump with a small LPG boiler used to cover any shortfalls in capacity in the depths of winter.
The space heating and domestic hot water systems operate fully automatically and the heat pump system is eligible for 7-year, index-linked grants via the Government's Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. This will pay back the cost of the Renewable Energy installation and will also result in significantly reduced running costs.
Mr G is a retired farmer and lives in an old farm house. Bright Green Renewables installed an Air Source Heat Pump into his property in 2011 and he has benefitted from a significant reduction in his heating and hot water bills following the change from LPG heating to a heat pump.
With a view to reducing his utility bills further Bright Green Renewables proposed the installation of a 4KW solar PV array. Rather than disturb the traditional farmhouse roof a powder-coated ground mounted system was designed and installed.
