History of the McDougald Beaver House now The Beaver House Restaurant in Statesboro, Ga. National Register of Historic Places.
From West Beaver
My great-grandfather John Alexander McDougald built this house in 1911. At the time, Main Street was lined with comparable homes built from the windfalls of Sea Island Cotton and other agricultural success stories of Bulloch County around the turn of the century. John was elected mayor of Statesboro during this time and our house was used to entertain friends, relatives and business associates. My great-grandmother played her baby grand piano for guests, which my daughter still pecks on today.
My grandparents passed away before I was born. My first memories of this house were as a young boy visiting his aunts. My brother's two sisters lived in the home prior to 1979 when my father bought their interest in the family estate. My mother and father's interest in this house was never economic. They had become hardcore historic preservationist. My mom is also the champion of the underdog, and if there was ever an underdog historic preservation project , the "Haunted House" of Statesboro was it. Couple their restoration ambition with an $8 per foot remodeling budget and yours truly became a 14 year old, child labor law poster boy. To this day my friends are still impressed by my hard earned carpentry skills. I am a mild mannered executive by day and an underdog historic preservationist by night (and some weekends). The restoration of the house came in on budget and way past due. Matter-o-fact, I promise I am going to get to that last piece of trim molding in the wicker room next weekend...

Dougald was apparently a major in the Civil War fighting, of course, for the South. He must have been a large landowner for it gave the quote: 'Dougald had about 100 slaves.' ... Dougald apparently lost everything in the Civil War, but came back and started over and built up another fortune and lost it in a bad investment competing with the railroad. I then made the assumption that he might have been broke and old and told his three sons, 'Let's go to Southeast Georgia and get into something we know.' Turpentine, Pine trees. Naval stores. Within a few years of coming south you can see the accomplishments of son John Alexander who became mayor, built the big house and became a community benefactor. He was a large landholder with extensive turpentine stills and farms.") was born July 05, 1832 in Leargybreack, Isle of Jura, Scotland, and died March 15, 1904 in Statesboro, GA.

Founders of First Presbyterian Church
"The Church at 112 Broad Street"
Mt. Zion, the first Presbyterian Church in Bulloch County, was dissolved in 1895 when many of its members relocated. However, a new church was organized in February of 1896 as Statesboro Presbyterian Church. Five new members (Mr. and Mrs. John McDougald, D.C. and Maggie McDougald) joined the 13 members remaining from the Mt. Zion church as charter members of the new church. Just 13 months later, the congregation moved into their new building on Broad Street. In 1898, six of those members who also had been members of the Mt. Zion Church, relocated to Daisy, Georgia. It is believed that, again, they took their church with them and possibly organized a Presbyterian Church at Daisy.
Statesboro Presbyterian Church was located on Broad Street. Statesboro was growing steadily, and although the church at first in 1897 was at the edge of town, town soon was building eastward surrounding the church. The lot had been donated by Mr. W.C. Parker, a member of the Baptist Church. It was not a large lot, and in the 30's a house was very close on the north side of the building. There was an open field on the south side. There were pecan trees on this lot which provided shade for the member's horses. One member, Col. Albert Deal, continued to ride his horse to services long after automobiles filled the streets.
The Naval Stores industry continued to have influence on the church for some time. This business opportunity had brought a number of people from North Carolina to the area. One of whom was John McDougald who arrived about 1888. He first worked for a company called Williams and Outland as a woods-rider. Then he teamed up with Outland to establish several turpentine stills. One of those stills was the site of the first field experiment of new rosin gathering methods (1901) by Charles Herty. The result of Herty's experiments provided a way to gather the rosin without destroying the trees, and this revolutionized the Naval Stores industry. The McDougald-Outland distillery was located about where Hanner Gymnasium on the University Campus is now.
Mr. John McDougald was a charter member of Statesboro Presbyterian Church and became a very prominent citizen of Bulloch County, even serving as Mayor of Statesboro. He was a very devout Presbyterian, and set a fine example for his descendants to follow--and they have done so.
There are very few people still living who attended the Church on Broad Street. Brothers Worth McDougald (retired and living in Athens) and Don McDougald (retired and living in Montreat) grandsons of John McDougald, attended the Broad Street church as boys in the 30's. Their memories of the wooden frame building are bright and clear and they share them with us.
Worth describes the building as 'dark' - dark woodwork, dark floors, dark pews-one big window on the front of the church, smaller windows on the sides, colored glass in the windows. Seating for about 100-125 people. Three sections of pews with two aisles. An addition at the rear of the structure had about eight very tiny classrooms. To reach the Sunday School rooms, one entered the front door of the church - went past the pulpit on the left side and out a door, walked on a covered walkway to reach the classrooms, which all opened to the outside. There was nothing elaborate about the building and the classrooms were sparsely furnished. In cold weather, the building was heated by a wood stove. The teen-age boys tended the stove and brought in the wood. Don remembers one time when the fire got out and set fire to the floor. The boys ran outside and gathered up hands-full of sand from the unpaved street and ran back inside to throw the sand on the fire to put it out.
Don remembers his father, W.E McDougald, talking about the finances of the church. There was very little money in the 30's during the depression. In about 1927, the church had borrowed $1000 at 6% interest. The collections were so small in the 30's that they could afford to pay only the yearly interest of $60. When the church burned in 1940, they still owed that $1000.
Both Worth and Don have vivid memories of the church members of those days. They both remember Miss Irene Arden who taught Sunday School. They said that her class room was the only one that was bright and colorful, with pictures and flowers decorating the room. They even remember exactly where she lived, and that she drove an old Model T Ford car to church and always parked it in the same place. Worth remembers that Miss Irene had a lovely operatic singing voice which reached well beyond the church walls when she sang with the choir.
Worth remembers that Colonel Albert Deal always sat in the same pew (on the right side near the back) and that he was often called upon to pray. His prayers were long, with petitions for every person and every cause. Being a lawyer, he chose his words carefully and there were sometimes long pauses in his prayers as he considered what he should say to the Lord. The boys sometimes thought he had fallen asleep - but he always continued.
In 1920, the congregation felt the need for more space and they purchased a lot on the corner of Zetterower and Savannah Avenues, and proceeded to build a manse for their minister, Rev. E. J. Hertwig. However, Mr. Hertwig died very suddenly in April of 1921. His untimely death was a great shock to the congregation and plans for a new church next to the newly constructed manse were abandoned.
Worth remembers that the congregation was small in number and very clannish (probably the Scots heritage?) He described the building as gaunt and needing a coat of paint during those depression days of the 1930's. Don remembers several weddings during the 30's: Bernard and Sydney McDougald and Ruth and Roy Beaver among them.
Then, disaster struck in 1940 when the building was hit by lightning and burned. Members tried to save what they could, but the building was a total loss for them. So the lot was sold and a new brick church was constructed on the Savannah Avenue Lot purchased 20 years before. Worth feels that this was a turning point for the church in several ways. In the new building the church became more open and welcoming. Hew people came in, many from the college, and had a great influence on the life of the church.
Nothing remains of the old church, but a house was constructed on the foundation of the old building. You can see the place where the Presbyterians worshiped for over 40 years if you ride down Broad Street and look for #112. You can see a picture of the 'Church on Broad Street' on the wall in our library.

Many, many thanks to Worth and Don McDougald, Virginia Russell's History of the Church, Statesboro Herald's 'Century of Progress; and 'Spirit of the People', and the Minutes of the Church on microfilm at Statesboro Regional Library for this information.

Beaver House National Register of Historic Places Nomination
INVENTORY – NOMINATION FORM
(as submitted in June 1980)
The McDougald – Beaver Home is a large , turn-of-the-century, Neoclassical home set on a lot along a once-fashionable residential street in Statesboro.
The McDougald – Beaver Home is two stories high and polygonal shaped. It features a large two-story front portico. Neoclassical detailing is extensive and includes one and tow story Corinthian columns, a second-floor balustrade porch, first-floor balustrade porch, and four fanlights. Clear, bevel-edged glass fills exterior doors and sidelights of the front entrance. Gabled- front portico has a roof ridge running from front to back. The two flanking rooms on the front of the house originally had hipped roofs, but were changed to flat roofs early in the house's history. On the north and south sides of the house gabled roofs run from the center of the main roof ridge.
The interior of the McDougald-Beaver Home features a spacious, centrally located stair and entry hall, polygonal and rectangular rooms, transom doorways, and generally open, free-flowing spaces. The central hall, living and dining rooms are elaborately detailed with Neoclassical wood and plasterwork, including fluted Ionic columns and pilasters and paneled wainscoting. Fireplaces and mantels are all different, but generally included a framed mirrored over-mantel and exposed glazed tiles. One fireplace has been modernized with old brick and another either walled over or torn out.
The walls are for the most part smoothly plastered, the exceptions being the two remodeled rooms that were sheet rocked over and the 1950 addition that was walled with sheet rock. Beaded tongue-and groove boards are used on walls in the second story back (West) rooms. A large linteled entrance to living room from the central hall has been enclosed with French doors and transom. This was probably added in the 1930's for conservation of heat. The structure retains its original pine ceilings and floors. The stairway is ell shaped and features a bench at the base of the landing. Wainscoting follows the stairway up, and is balustrade at its upper and lower landings. Dentil and egg –and-dart moldings trim newel posts and bench. Bathrooms are all remodeled and do not reflect the period in which the home was built.
The rear of the McDougald-Beaver Home is flush with a fanlight in the gable. First and second story back porches were enclosed around the 1930's.
The McDougald-Beaver Home is constructed with a balloon frame sheathed in cypress weatherboards. Foundations consist of hard, pressed brick. The roof is surfaced with channeled sheet metal. All lumber used in the house for structural and decorative purposes is heart pine. The pediment front portico is supported by two sets of large coupled Corinthian columns. A fanlight is set in the front pediment as swell as in the pediments on the North and South exposures.
The McDougald-Beaver home is generally in good condition. The structure is sound and both the interior and exterior have been largely restored. Only the bathrooms and upstairs back rooms remain to be rehabilitated. During the 1940's the house was subdivided into apartments, but the only partitions erected were in the upstairs rear of the house and only involve three rooms. These partitions are merely wood paneling and could be removed easily.
The grounds of the McDougald-Beaver home retain little of the original turn-of-the-century landscaping. The front (East) yard consist of a broad, level lawn and a large old camphor tree. During the past 18 years underbrush and saplings have choked out all original plantings. The front walk, centered on the front door, is laid with polygonal paving blacks between stone curbs. A stone-and-iron fence once surrounded the front yard. Remains of this fence are evident as the foundation of the fence is still present and a few of the stone balusters are stored under the house. The south-side yard has a driveway giving access from South Main Street to the back (West) yard. The North-side yard remains an extension of the front yard. On the rear (West) yard a brick garage, and three storage sheds were built in the 1940's and 50's for storage purposes. Due to the fact that they were non-contributing to the McDougald-Beaver home's significance and the fact that they were non-contributing to the McDougald-Beaver home's significance and the fact that they were of poor construction and falling in, the out-buildings have been removed. During the 1940's an asbestos shingled duplex was moved to the property and placed on the rear Southwest corner of the lot facing Walnut Street. Also, to the rear of the house and facing Walnut Street on the Northwest corner is a weatherboard rental house. The date of this house has not been determined, but it appears to have been constructed about the same time as the main house. The structure is thought to have been quarters for Lydia, the McDougald's faithful servant. This house is presently rented.
The surroundings of the McDougald-Beaver Home have changed considerably over the years. South Main Street at the turn of the century was a fashionable residential avenue with many fine houses and large landscaped lots. During the 1930's many of these large houses were subdivided into apartments or hotels, as South Main Street was the main access to Florida from the North. After World War II, the street developed into a largely commercial corridor, with new office, restaurant and commercial buildings replacing many of the earlier residences. Today it remains a commercial area, although a few houses from the turn of the century have survived. Today the McDougald-Beaver home still stands as the most impressive, although it is bound on the North by Gulf Oil Service Station and on the South by Pizza Hut.
The McDougald-Beaver home is significant to the architectural and local history of Statesboro, Georgia. In the former category, it is significant as one of the few remaining large wooden Neoclassical, turn-or-the-century homes. In local history it is significant as the home of John Alexander McDougald, a locally prominent farmer and businessman, and has remained in his family since it was built.
Architectural Significance
The McDouglad-Beaver home is an exceptionally fine turn-of-the century Neoclassical house. Prominent features of its design include compact, regular massing, the front portico, colonnaded front porch with balustrade and interior organized around a central stair hall and period detailing ranging from the monumental Corinthian columns of the portico to tiny egg-and-dart molding around doors. What makes the McDouglad-Beaver home exceptional in terms of its design, is its size, range, scale, and elaborateness of its details, and the combination of formal, yet practical exterior arrangement of the deep front colonnaded porch, necessary for comfort in the deep South. Equally exceptional are the two sets of large coupled Corinthian columns, as coupled columns are not generally seen in Neo-classical architecture, according to Whiffen. The materials and craftsmanship of the McDougald-Beaver home are also exceptional. The principal building material in the house, used for structure, finish and detailing, is heart-pine wood. This strong, durable, dry, knot-free lumber was probably cut from Mr. McDougald's own timberland, and it is found in the balloon frame, floors, wainscoting, interior columns, pilasters and ceilings. Cypress was ordered from New Orleans by Mr. McDougald for the weather-boarding. Another important construction material used in building the McDougald-Beaver home rests on a foundation of brick piers with lattice brick work between the piers. The four chimneys have recessed brick work and are thought to be the work of L. R. Blackburn, a local mason noted for his decorative work.
Over and above its intrinsic architectural merits, the McDougald- Beaver home is significant as an exemplar of an important type of house in Georgia. Neoclassical houses were built in nearly every community and almost always they were built by men of means and prestige. Just as the Greek Revival plantation house is a symbol of antebellum Georgia, so the Neoclassical house is a symbol representing the post-Reconstruction New South. The McDougald-Beaver home is the largest and most impressive Neoclassical house remaining in Statesboro. At the time the structure was buil;t, there was only on other of such impressiveness, the J. P. Williams home. It is now the Aldred Hotel and has been bricked over, windows changed, restaurant added, and most of the Classical features removed. The large Neoclassical Donehoo home was built after the McDougald-Beaver home and was constructed of brick, as most houses in Statesboro were after the fire in 1915 destroyed the original Donehoo home. Because of its date, its design, and publicity attending its construction, the McDougald-Beaver home must be considered as an integral part of Statesboro's early architectural history.
The construction of the McDougald-Beaver home was supervised by Mr. McDougald with help of a local contractor, Benjamin H. Olliff. The architect has not been determined. .
The McDougald-Beaver home is historically significant as the home of John Alexander McDougald (1864-1926), an important figure in the city's early history. The McDougald-Beaver home is the principal property associated with the life of Mr. McDougald.
John Alexander McDougald was born on June 17, 1864, in North Carolina. He died November 14, 1926, at his home in Statesboro. In 1890, McDougald moved his family from North Carolina to Statesboro and became a woodsman. Within a year he became a partner and later senior member in the turpentine still McDougald-Outland. It was with his cooperation that on the still's timberland in 1901, Dr. Charles Holmes Herty, noted chemist, perfected the Herty Turpentine Cup that revolutionized the naval stores industry. McDougald also ran a farm North of Statesboro.
Mr. McDougald served on the City Council in 1908, 1909, and 1910. He was elected Mayor of Statesboro in 1911 and ran unopposed in 1912 for a second term. During his service in city government, Mr. McDougald played a large role in establishing the Board of Education, jail, fire department, paved street, and the water, electric and sewage systems. He was also a founder of the Presbyterian Church, the Sea Island Bank and Georgia Southern College, being one the largest contributors in securing a 300 acre site for the college in 1907. Because of the dedication and generosity of men like Mr. McDougald, Statesboro prospered and grew.
While Mayor, Mr. McDougald began construction of his home in 1911. The lot he chose was once part of a 700 acre farm belonging to Ben Turner. The site chosen is significant locally because Statesboro's first legal execution took place here in 1879.
Production of superior Sea Island Cotton and the coming of turpentine stills brought much wealth and growth to Statesboro in the early 1900's. Statesboro, as the County seat, had grown from 525 in 1890, when McDougald came to Statesboro to 2,600 people in 1911 when he built his home.
The McDougald-Beaver home has remained in the family since 1911. Ruth McDougald Beaver, youngest daughter of J. A. McDougald, acquired the property; at Mrs. McDougald's death in 1941 and continued to make the property her home. Ruth and Roy Beaver had three children. The home and property remained in good repair until Mr. Beaver's death in 1961. At Mr. Beaver's death the children acquired the property. Over the next 18 years the home began to show signs of needed repairs and gradually shrubs and trees became overgrown to the point that the home could barely be seen from Main Street. In 1975 an artist's rendition of the house was featured in the local paper on Halloween as the town's haunted house with a vulture perching atop a chimney. By 1979, the children of Statesboro knew the home only as the "Haunted House".
The history of the McDougald-Beaver home is closely tied to the development of the City of Statesboro. It is the site of an event that is thought of as one of the more colorful in the city's past. The structure is also associated with the life of John Alexander McDougald, a cornerstone of the community. Architecturally, the McDougald-Beaver home is significant to the community because it is one of the few homes of its style and the only one of its prominence remaining on commercial Main Street, formerly the most fashionable residential area of the city,
In November 1979, John Beaver purchased his sisters' interest in the property and is presently restoring the home. Its use will be prestige office suites, including Mr. Beaver's Real Estate and Insurance firm. The first and second story central halls, as well as the living room dining room and kitchen will be available to the public for meetings and receptions.

Poverty threat to 25 million more Europeans by 2020
Austerity policies are leading to a massive increase in poverty and inequality in European countries, causing damage that will take two decades or more to reverse, according to a report from Oxfam GB. It warns that 25 million more people could be pushed into poverty in Europe by 2020.
Subjects: Europe, Poverty forecast
New model of global poverty dynamics
A new model of growth, inequality and poverty has been developed that allows forecasts to be made of both the scale and location of future poverty under different assumptions. The model is described in a paper by researchers for a United Nations development forum based in Brazil.
Subjects: Low-income countries, Poverty forecast
Can relative poverty be abolished?
The idea that if poverty is relative it will always be with us is a common misconception, argues John Veit-Wilson. 'Relative poverty' can be abolished if no one has fewer resources than needed to achieve that society's minimum standards.
Subjects: Economic policy, Government policy, Living standards, Necessities, Poverty forecast, Poverty measurement, Social exclusion, Social policy
Future of global poverty – new model
A new model for estimating future trends in global inequality and poverty has been put forward by researchers at the Center for Global Development in Washington. They say their model allows for 'systematic, methodologically transparent' estimates.
1 in 4 children in poverty by 2020 – IFS forecast
Child poverty is set to increase significantly by 2020, according to new forecasts from the Institute for Fiscal Studies – wiping out the gains made under the previous Labour Government. By 2020 nearly one in four children will be living in poverty.
The IFS report was prepared at the request of the Northern Ireland Executive, and it includes separate projections for Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England and Wales (combined) as well as for the UK as a whole.
Subjects: Child poverty, Northern Ireland, Poverty forecast
Impact of the recession on child poverty and deprivation in the UK
Jonathan Bradshaw and Gill Main provide an update, 31 January 2014, on their analysis of available data on child poverty. This article discusses trends in child poverty in the UK and urges us all to 'watch this space'.
Subjects: Child poverty, Deprivation, Poverty forecast
An end to extreme global poverty by 2030?
There is 'tremendous potential' for reducing global poverty in the immediate future, according to researchers at the Brookings Institution in Washington. But they also warn there is no magic ingredient for success, and that progress depends on a 'complex recipe' including better targeting of those in poverty.

This chapter provides an overview of the WAN boot installation method. This chapter describes the following topics.
The WAN boot installation method enables you to boot and install software over a wide area network (WAN) by using HTTP. By using WAN boot, you can install the Solaris OS on SPARC based systems over a large public network where the network infrastructure might be untrustworthy. You can use WAN boot with security features to protect data confidentiality and installation image integrity.
The WAN boot installation method enables you to transmit an encrypted Solaris Flash archive over a public network to a remote SPARC based client. The WAN boot programs then install the client system by performing a custom JumpStart installation. To protect the integrity of the installation, you can use private keys to authenticate and encrypt data. You can also transmit your installation data and files over a secure HTTP connection by configuring your systems to use digital certificates.
To perform a WAN boot installation, you install a SPARC based system by downloading the following information from a web server over a HTTP or secure HTTP connection.
wanboot program – The wanboot program is the second level boot program that loads the WAN boot miniroot, client configuration files, and installation files. The wanboot program performs tasks similar to those that are performed by the ufsboot or inetboot second level boot programs.
WAN boot file system – WAN boot uses several different files to configure the client and retrieve data to install the client system. These files are located in the /etc/netboot directory of the web server. The wanboot-cgi program transmits these files to the client as a file system, called the WAN boot file system.
WAN boot miniroot – The WAN boot miniroot is a version of the Solaris miniroot that has been modified to perform a WAN boot installation. The WAN boot miniroot, like the Solaris miniroot, contains a kernel and just enough software to install the Solaris environment. The WAN boot miniroot contains a subset of the software in the Solaris miniroot.
Custom JumpStart configuration files – To install the system, WAN boot transmits sysidcfg, rules.ok, and profile files to the client. WAN boot then uses these files to perform a custom JumpStart installation on the client system.
Solaris Flash archive – A Solaris Flash archive is a collection of files that you copy from a master system. You can then use this archive to install a client system. WAN boot uses the custom JumpStart installation method to install a Solaris Flash archive on the client system. After you install an archive on a client system, the system contains the exact configuration of the master system.
The flarcreate command no longer has size limitations on individual files. You can create a Solaris Flash archive that contains individual files over 4 Gbytes.
For more information, see Creating an Archive That Contains Large Files in Solaris 10 8/07 Installation Guide: Solaris Flash Archives (Creation and Installation) .
You then install the archive on the client by using the custom JumpStart installation method.
You can protect the transfer of the previously listed information by using keys and digital certificates.
For a more detailed description of the sequence of events in a WAN boot installation, see How WAN Boot Works (Overview).
The WAN boot installation method enables you to install SPARC based systems that are located in geographically remote areas. You might want to use WAN boot to install remote servers or clients that are accessible only over a public network.
If you want to install systems that are located on your local area network (LAN), the WAN boot installation method might require more configuration and administration than necessary. For information about how to install systems over a LAN, see Chapter 4, Installing From the Network (Overview).
WAN boot uses a combination of servers, configuration files, Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs, and installation files to install a remote SPARC based client. This section describes the general sequence of events in a WAN boot installation.
Figure 9–1 shows the basic sequence of events in a WAN boot installation. In this figure, a SPARC based client retrieves configuration data and installation files from a web server and an install server over a WAN.
You boot the client in one of the following ways.
Boot from the network by setting network interface variables in the Open Boot PROM (OBP).
Boot from the network with the DHCP option.
Boot from a local CD-ROM.
The client OBP obtains configuration information from one of the following sources.
The client OBP requests the WAN boot second level boot program (wanboot).
The client OBP downloads the wanboot program from the following sources.
The wanboot program requests the client configuration information from the WAN boot server.
The wanboot program downloads configuration files that are transmitted by the wanboot-cgi program from the WAN boot server. The configuration files are transmitted to the client as the WAN boot file system.
The wanboot program requests the download of the WAN boot miniroot from the WAN boot server.
The wanboot program downloads the WAN boot miniroot from the WAN boot server by using HTTP or secure HTTP.
The wanboot program loads and executes the UNIX kernel from the WAN boot miniroot.
The UNIX kernel locates and mounts the WAN boot file system for use by the Solaris installation program.
The installation program requests the download of a Solaris Flash archive and custom JumpStart files from an install server.
The installation program downloads the archive and custom JumpStart files over an HTTP or HTTPS connection.
The installation program performs a custom JumpStart installation to install the Solaris Flash archive on the client.
The WAN boot installation method enables you to use hashing keys, encryption keys, and digital certificates to protect your system data during the installation. This section briefly describes the different data protection methods that are supported by the WAN boot installation method.
To protect the data you transmit from the WAN boot server to the client, you can generate a Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) key. You install this hashing key on both the WAN boot server and the client. The WAN boot server uses this key to sign the data to be transmitted to the client. The client then uses this key to verify the integrity of the data that is transmitted by the WAN boot server. After you install a hashing key on a client, the client uses this key for future WAN boot installations.
For instructions about how to use a hashing key, see (Optional) To Create a Hashing Key and an Encryption Key.
The WAN boot installation method enables you to encrypt the data you transmit from the WAN boot server to the client. You can use WAN boot utilities to create a Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption key. You can then provide this key to both the WAN boot server and the client. WAN boot uses this encryption key to encrypt the data sent from the WAN boot server to the client. The client can then use this key to decrypt the encrypted configuration files and security files that are transmitted during the installation.
Once you install an encryption key on a client, the client uses this key for future WAN boot installations.
Your site might not permit the use of encryption keys. To determine if your site permits encryption, ask your site's security administrator. If your site permits encryption, ask your security administrator which type of encryption key, either 3DES or AES, you should use.
For instructions on how to use encryption keys, see (Optional) To Create a Hashing Key and an Encryption Key.
WAN boot supports the use of HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) to transfer data between the WAN boot server and the client. By using HTTPS, you can require the server, or both the server and the client, to authenticate themselves during the installation. HTTPS also encrypts the data that is transferred from the server to the client during the installation.
HTTPS uses digital certificates to authenticate systems that exchange data over the network. A digital certificate is a file that identifies a system, either a server or client, as a system to trust during online communication. You can request a digital certificate from an external certificate authority, or create your own certificate and certificate authority.
To enable the client to trust the server and accept data from the server, you must install a digital certificate on the server. You then instruct the client to trust this certificate. You can also require the client to authenticate itself to the servers by providing a digital certificate to the client. You can then instruct the server to accept the certificate's signer when the client presents the certificate during the installation.
To use digital certificates during the installation, you must configure your web server to use HTTPS. See your web server documentation for information about how to use HTTPS.
For information about the requirements to use digital certificates during your WAN boot installation, see Digital Certificate Requirements. For instructions about how to use digital certificates in your WAN boot installation, see (Optional) To Use Digital Certificates for Server and Client Authentication.
WAN boot supports varying levels of security. You can use a combination of the security features that are supported in WAN boot to meet the needs of your network. A more secure configuration requires more administration, but also protects your system data to a greater extent. For more critical systems, or those systems you want to install over a public network, you might choose the configuration in Secure WAN Boot Installation Configuration. For less critical systems, or systems on semi-private networks, consider the configuration that is described in Insecure WAN Boot Installation Configuration.
This section briefly describes the different configurations you can use to set the level of security for your WAN boot installation. The section also describes the security mechanisms that are required by these configurations.
This configuration protects the integrity of the data exchanged between the server and client, and helps keep the contents of the exchange confidential. This configuration uses an HTTPS connection, and uses either the 3DES or AES algorithm to encrypt the client configuration files. This configuration also requires the server to authenticate itself to the client during the installation. A secure WAN boot installation requires the following security features.
If you want to also require client authentication during the installation, you must also use the following security features.
For a list of the tasks that are required to install with this configuration, see Table 11–1.
This security configuration requires the least administration effort, but provides the least secure transfer of data from the web server to the client. You do not need to create a hashing key, encryption key, or digital certificates. You do not need to configure your web server to use HTTPS. However, this configuration transfers the installation data and files over an HTTP connection, which leaves your installation vulnerable to interception over the network.
If you want the client to check the integrity of the data that is transmitted, you can use a HMAC SHA1 hashing key with this configuration. However, the Solaris Flash archive is not protected by the hashing key. The archive is transferred insecurely between the server and the client during the installation.
For a list of the tasks that are required to install with this configuration, see Table 11–2.


Mesothelioma or Malignant Mesothelioma to give it its proper name is a rare kind of a cancer, which appears in the protective lining of the body's organs or the mesothelium.
An early and definitive diagnosis is the key to any kind of successful cancer treatment; however a Mesothelioma diagnosis can be difficult to make and presents several challenges.
The rarity of the condition is another reason that makes a Mesothelioma diagnosis a challenge. However knowing the risk factors that result in this disease, can help one anticipate it and detect it somewhat earlier.
There is an established cause effect link between asbestos exposure and a Mesothelioma diagnosis. Occupational exposure; as in those people who have worked with asbestos in the past, is known to create risk of developing the disease.
Even those who live with people who have been exposed to asbestos at work are more at risk. The disease could manifest decades after the actual exposure as well.
Those who live close to naturally occurring asbestos are also thought to be at risk. Also buildings of a certain age could contain asbestos – if they were built before the outlawing of asbestos, and doing structural or renovation work in such as premises could put a person at risk of asbestos exposure.
Symptoms of Mesothelioma – Usually it is the symptoms that offer a clue as to the health problem a person could have. The difficulty making a diagnosis for Mesothelioma is however that the symptoms may be fairly generic and could be mistaken for several other conditions.
There could be shortness of breath, hoarseness of the voice, bloody cough sputum, difficulties swallowing, wheezing and so on. Pleural effusion or the buildup of fluid between the lining of the lungs and the chest which may be asymptomatic in some cases, and may show up only on X-ray may be another symptom.
Pain of the shoulder, arm, and chest and so on may be present. There could be weakness and unexplained weight loss. There could be swelling or pain in the abdomen, bowel obstruction, fever, anemia and many other general symptoms.
The first step could be to review a person's history to examine possibility of asbestos exposure and then the use of imaging techniques to try and detect the malignancies.
X-ray of the chest can show fluid buildup or pleural effusion in the chest but will typically not be able to show up Mesothelioma.
CT Scan/MRI – Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging are techniques also used to detect pleural effusions and determine abnormalities that could indicate this malignancy.
Lung function tests – Since the above technique may offer incomplete information, a lung function test may be conducted to make a more definitive diagnosis of Mesothelioma.
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) – This is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools for Mesothelioma.
Many other methods such as peritoneoscopy, thoracoscopy, biopsy of a combination of more than one method may be used to make a Mesothelioma diagnosis.


Tastes like an apple pie, but with the moistness and soft texture of cake! A delicious fall favorite, incorporating all those yummy fresh-picked apples.
Cream oil, sugar and eggs. Add soda, salt, flour and cinnamon, which have been sifted together. Fold in apples, nuts, raisins, vanilla.
Pour into ungreased tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for l hour and 20 minutes. Remember to cut the baking time in half if baking in two pans — test to be sure it is done before removing from oven.
Topping: 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup butter, l teaspoon of vanilla.
Bring to boil for 3 minutes and pour over cake while both are still warm.
Cut cake loose from sides of pans and punch holes in top of cake with a fork.
Let set 10 minutes, then remove from pan.

Calling In The Yokels: How The Corona Psych-Ops Fosters Mass Hysteria
The propaganda master comes to town
Note: This is a piece of fiction I wrote months ago, when there was some question about what Trump was going to do…which way he was going to jump…
What do most people say, if you raise questions about the reality of the "epidemic," or even hint that the facts might be in doubt?
They say, "But people are dying." And that's the end of the conversation.
So, in this episode of virus fakery and apocalypse on rye with mustard, I present a tale I like to call: THE PROPAGANDA MASTER COMES TO TOWN.
This character is a wisdom figure and a teacher. He's an old pro. He makes sure the lies are being told well and often. He reminds his troops of their mission. Pardon his language, but he has a very low opinion of humanity.
Here he is now, getting out of his limo and walking into a five-star hotel.
Conference room. A security team has checked the space for bugs and other electronic snooping. The shades are drawn. A dozen propaganda ops specialists are sitting at the long table.
The maestro walks into the room, stands at one end of the table, and without formalities, begins talking:
—I only have a few minutes. I'm on my way to Rome to brief the Pope. So here it is. We put messages into the heads of the great unwashed masses, so they'll pass those messages to others. Get it? THAT'S the real contagion factor. Never forget it. We're Info Central for the rubes and yokels and idiots, including high IQ idiots who think their college degree means they're educated in science.
—We work with death. People all over the world are dying all the time, every day. The public doesn't want to think about that. Good. That's good for us. Our job is to convince the yokels that the "new" dying which is happening now comes from a special virus. We do that by equating DEATH and CORONAVIRUS. Get it? Never forget it. "People are dying, it must be the virus." That's our ticket.
—Our medical brethren in this great con have already done a terrific job carving up death into various categories. But now they can also make ordinary pneumonia into coronavirus pneumonia at the drop of a hat. They can make flu into corona. They can make a man falling down stairs a victim of the virus. A flying saucer crashes in a field? If that happened, a CDC official with a straight face could tell the yokels and idiots that the alien pilot of the craft was struck down by the virus and that's why he lost control of the saucer.
—So we can't let our medical friends down. We have to ramp up the intensity of the message. I want more predictions from Harvard and Yale big shots. You know, millions are going to die. Half the world's population is going to be infected.
—Some of the idiots and loons we target are politicians. They "believe in science." We want these pols to lock down MORE cities. Make people feel the sting. The sting and the crisis and the quarantine must equal THE VIRUS. We own the virus. It's our psy-weapon. It's an idea, a notion, a ghost, and the medical experts can contain it, if people follow all their orders. Keep pounding that message.
—Now, just between us, did they ever find a brand new virus in China to begin with? I see no convincing evidence they did. But who cares? Are the diagnostic tests for the virus inadequate and useless and worthless and deceiving? Of course. Is the "virus epidemic" a gold-plated fake? Sure. Are all sorts of people being diagnosed with corona who have no disease at all? You bet. Are people who are sick for all sorts of reasons being told they're corona cases? Yeah. That's our bread and butter. Some poor bastard gets off a plane and he has a slight fever from the bad air in the cabin and he's whisked to a military base for quarantine. Play it up. "The virus can get you anytime, anywhere." In a city, one ICU ward in a hospital is overflowing with sick people. Of course it is. People are sick all the time. But now, they're all afraid, and they're coming on foot, in cars, in wheelchairs, on crutches, and with the wave of a magic wand, they're put in the ICU because they must be corona. Good. I want more pictures of that chaotic ICU. I want video on the news. More of it. Get busy. Don't slack off. This is a circus. There are rules for a circus. The main rule is, people get bored quickly, so you need lots of acts and tricks and animals and side shows and candy to keep the audience occupied. An ICU here, an ICU there. A mother crying. Who cares why? It must be the virus. I don't want to hear about all the other reasons people are sick. I just want to hear VIRUS.
—Never forget how easily you can fool the yokels. Yesterday, a guy living in an apartment house had the flu. No big deal. But today, same guy? Corona. Nothing changed except the news. All his neighbors in the building forget that yesterday this guy had ordinary flu. It's a beautiful thing. Use it. I want to see more funerals on the news.
—Our holy grail, our perfect ideal, which is unattainable, would be: every death in the world for the next six months or a year is called coronavirus. But we can strive toward that ideal. We must.
—There are two echelons. There is WE. And there is THEY-THEM. WE keep THEM in their limited minds. We bolster those limited minds with our messages. Keep them yammering, "People are dying, it must be the virus!" It's pure gold. Mine that gold.
Back in his limo, the maestro puts in a call to his contact at the CDC. "Listen up," he says, "you people over there are wobbling. I'm talking about the diagnostic test for the virus. First, your test kits were bad, they didn't work. Then you didn't have enough of them to satisfy needs. Now the word is starting to leak out that the tests are inherently unreliable and no one should believe them. This crap must stop. Shore up your troops. Get them in line. I want healthy people and sick people and old people and young people and all people to be diagnosed with corona, and I don't want any uncertainties. You and I know the test is a joke, it doesn't work, but nobody else can find that out. Got it? People over there at the CDC can be replaced. They can find themselves out on the street. What's in charge of this operation is propaganda, not science. YOU back US up. That's the hierarchy. I want FEAR raging through the population. If you can't hold up your end, you're going to find all the quotes about the epidemic in the press are suddenly coming from the World Health Organization or Johns Hopkins, not the CDC. I'll make sure you're shoved into the background. The World Health people are professional. They know how to deliver a unified con job. Those two idiots, the governor of New York and the mayor of New York, are doing more to hype this fake epidemic than all the employees of the CDC put together. Get your house in order. Fast."
He closes his phone and sticks it in his pocket. On the way to the airport, he hums a little tune. He looks out the window. He thinks to himself, if we can stretch this out far enough, we can even stage a presidential election in America on the Internet. No one votes in a booth. Can't risk transmission of the virus. He chuckles. His phone vibrates. He takes it out.
"Yes, sir?" he says. He listens. Nods. "Yes, sir, I know you're going to address the nation in a few minutes. Well, sir, this is a squeeze play. You're in the middle. I know you understand that. If you go too far in minimizing the risk of the epidemic, you're going to get hit hard from all sides. Mayors, governors, scientists, doctors, public health officials, members of Congress, big tech, the media—they're all going to carve you into a grinning pumpkin. To say nothing of what's been happening to the stock market. If you try to downplay corona, the whole economic picture is going to go upside down. Even Goldman Sachs won't be able to protect you. Look around you. That schmuck mayor of New York is making noises about shutting down the whole Subway system. My advice is, let this operation run its course. Read the tea leaves of history. Many presidents have trouble at the end of a term. The coronavirus fakery is your trouble. Ride it out. If you can't beat Joe Biden in November, you should go back to building golf courses. He's hanging on by a thread. I don't think the doctors can pump him up with enough drugs to keep his brain functioning during a debate. You might stagger into office on a low for your second term, but—don't be angry, sir, your enemies have been looking for an Achilles heel since you started campaigning back in 2015. They tried this, they tried that, it didn't really work. But this medical op works. Are you really going to say the medical experts are all liars and fake news? Are you contemplating that? Take it from me, it won't fly. You know I'm right. The medical propaganda of the past hundred years is a winner. How can you buck it, especially in the middle of this current shit storm? If I cared about the truth, I'd be in a dither. Fortunately, I'm above the fray. Listen to your wise old uncle. Take the bitter with the sweet. You're a pro in your field. The art of the deal. In this instance, the deal is live to fight another day. You painted your picture of "the grand economic recovery", and now they're spraying all over it with graffiti. That's what enemies do. I have some interesting material on Biden and Bernie, if you'd like me to—"
The maestro looks at his phone. "He hung up," he says to his driver.
"He's a quick study," the driver says.
"What are you going to say to the Pope?" the driver asks.
"I'm going to tell him to keep his big mouth shut. And if he can't do that, and he wants to bring God into it, we'll work on the statement. Change it to Nature. That's softer. Nature has its ways and its viruses. It must be respected. God gave us the intelligence to work with Nature, and the means to develop medical science. Doctors are healers. Follow their recommendations. Something like that. On the way over in the plane, I'll come up with some quotes. Stay by my side. You're packing heat. They'll ask for your weapon before they let us in the Vatican. Give it to them. Keep your eyes trained straight ahead. Don't look past any open doors. Who knows what you'd see? I don't want anyone to call us as witnesses in a future court case…"
"You're careful as always," the driver says.
"Careful in the details, absolutely reckless when it comes to the overall plan. Tell a lie so outrageous, no one can believe it's a lie."
At the White House, the president steps to the podium and looks at the camera. He thinks: I wonder what would happen if I went off script and said, you know, there must be ten thousand people in Washington who are aware there's something weird about this coronavirus situation. There's the whole flu thing. The CDC says thirty thousand people in the US die from ordinary flu every single year, like clockwork, and there are millions of flu cases every year—but nobody's calling THAT an epidemic. The stock market isn't crashing because of THAT. Nobody's getting quarantined because of THAT. They aren't canceling basketball because of THAT. What the hell's going on?
The president starts to speak to the nation.
"Look, the bottom line is, I have to protect millions of lives. I need to sign bills authorizing two trillion dollars in aid to our businesses and workers. I have to listen to the experts. People are dying, it must be the virus. What else could it be?"
An unknown man in the back of the room says, in a very clear and loud voice: WELL, IT COULD BE COMPLETE HORSE—"
An alert special ops team member steps in front of the man and quickly sprays him in the face with a chemical. The unknown man is paralyzed, and like a log he pitches forward and bounces off the floor.
The special ops man shouts: IT'S THE VIRUS. HE'S DEAD.
People scream. The doors to the room are suddenly locked. Doctors in white coats appear.
Someone yells, THE WHITE HOUSE IS INFECTED. WASHINGTON DC IS INFECTED.
The president shrugs, looks at the camera and says, "I guess I'll be speaking to you next from an undisclosed location. We WILL get through this, America—"
BLACKOUT.
People are dying, it must be the virus.

Citroen C3 Review: Said the French, "How do we make people who hate cars hate cars even more?"
DSM_OR_DIE::Drives_A_Miata
Striking, yet somehow still bland.
Apparently I missed the memo about 80s Friday, but here's a review that I wrote of a 2017 Citroen C3. Originally posted June 22nd, 2017. And for the record, I still haven't discovered a car worse than this one.
My first car in the UK was a three-cylinder. My second UK rental was French. I have had the pleasure of riding in a very used Citroen C1 less than a year ago. But none of these experiences could have prepared me for this French masterpiece.
Let me start by saying that I have owned some properly terrible vehicles. For a period of my life I daily drove through Indiana winters (and still own to this day) a rusted out Miata with no interior and less than half of the expected engine output. I picked up an equally rusty vehicle in Iowa and drove it sixteen hours back home through a severe snowstorm knowing full well that it had no working interior electronics, would randomly shut off on the highway, and was riding on bald summer tires. From long-dead clutches and only running on two cylinders to salvage titled Chryslers whose turning radius is tighter in one direction than the other, I am used to terrible vehicles and as a result have very low expectation. But this Citroen takes the crown for worst vehicle that I've ever driven by such a wide margin that I can't even name a second place vehicle. By comparison everything else seems just fine.
I have now had the car for a full 24 hours. I would like to start off with what I like about the car because that will be pretty quick. First, I love the shifter. It is by far the best cable shifter that I have ever used. It is incredibly smooth and effortless. And that compliment is the best thing that I have to say. The styling of the car is...unique. Not likely to win fans among those blessed with the gift of sight, to borrow a quote from Top Gear, but it does stand out in a sea of bland competitors and I appreciate that. It's eye-catching without being over-styled or gaudy, although it is designed to look bigger than it is and has fallen into the trap of thinking that plastic cladding makes things look rugged. I guess outward visibility is sort of okay, but any benefit from this is counteracted by the horrible mirror position, meaning that I find myself turning to look out the side and rear windows frequently because I can't intuitively locate the mirror to perform the same task, a problem that I haven't had in any other vehicle, RHD or not. Also the base price is £11,135 which is a pretty low sticker in the UK, but I'll come back to this later.
Can confirm: stuff fits back here.
To understand where this car fits in the Citroen lineup, I will compare it to its most well-known competitor, the Ford Fiesta. On paper, the comparison favors the Citroen which provides more rear passenger room and a taller cargo area from dimensions that are one inch wider but otherwise identical to the Fiesta. The interior of the French supermini feels more open and spacious than the Ford, and the C3 is 150lbs lighter than its "American" counterpart.
The third generation C3 consolidated many of the options of the previous generation and therefore comes with a 1.2L inline three as the only available petrol engine. It makes 50hp as standard and can be upgraded to 60hp for an additional £500. There is an available 55hp diesel engine for £2300. If you're curious, I was able to get the price up to £18,800 for this rolling dumpster fire after selecting an automatic transmission, fog lights, something called "Coffee Break Alert," and black wheels. Yes, that's £900 more expensive than a Fiesta ST, although I can't imagine that there are too many people cross-shopping that hot hatch with this bucket of industrial waste. My pile of feces is equipped with the 50hp engine, a traditional 5-speed manual, and what some might call a clutch.
For those that aren't intimately familiar with the inner workings of a clutch, it has three components: a pressure plate which provides a spring-loaded clamping surface, a flywheel which provides a fixed clamping surface, and the clutch disk which is coated in friction material and gets clamped. This Citroen's clutch feels as though someone forgot to rivet the friction material to the clutch disk and instead filled the transmission bellhousing with gravel. There is a strong grinding vibration that shakes the car during all first gear starts. Between that and the incredibly vague and lifeless slipping region of the clutch pedal, this car makes me feel like I am just learning to drive stick all over again. My coworkers laugh at my rough or overly aggressive starts.
Making starting from a stop worse is the incredibly poor idle of this engine. It constantly sounds and feels as though the engine is about to die despite the rock solid engine speed. I did once get a bizarre oscillation upon first starting the car that made me consider taking the train instead.
The transmission has popped out of gear twice already, only 36 hours into this rental. There is no clutch safety switch so the car will start without the clutch pedal depressed, even while in gear. The lack of torque anywhere in the rev range and the incredibly low redline of 5500 RPM for a petrol engine have caused problems on the motorway on more than one occasion, forcing me to abort a pass and slam on the brakes because I couldn't get up to speed quickly enough.
Today was interesting. More coworkers arrived and I played chauffeur with a full car. The extra weight of five people does odd things to the vehicle dynamics. The first effect should be obvious; a slight uphill exit from a roundabout found me decelerating in second with the throttle buried in the carpet. With a bus in the left lane preventing me from yielding to faster traffic, I could only continue decelerating until either the road leveled out and I could eventually pass the bus or I died of shame. Either solution would have been acceptable but fortunately for my passengers the former occurred first.
The 5500 RPM redline had me absolutely convinced that this was a diesel. If only it had that excuse...
The second effect should also not shock anyone. When I got the car with 514 miles, it was keeping a tally of the average fuel economy for the life of the vehicle. It indicated 47.2 mpg. My driving for the previous two days had not changed that figure. By the time that I returned to the hotel parking lot to retire for the night on this third day, however, my cluster read 635 miles and 45.2mpg. For the entirety of my 21 miles of driving today, I averaged 20.2 mpg uk or 16.8 mpg us. Taking the same route that I have been for the past two days. That's right. 16.8 mpg from a 1.2L three cylinder. So efficient!
The third effect of four extra passengers is by far the most alarming. No matter the conditions, the front of the vehicle became very light and the steering turned into an over sensitive mess. The typical process upon exiting a roundabout is to rev the car out and shift with my left hand while following the contour of the road with my right, but steering the car with only one hand under this condition was very treacherous. No matter how much I concentrated on holding the wheel steady, the car would dart across the narrow lanes seemingly with a mind of its own. This behavior was new and startling enough that I stopped to check the tire pressures just in case. My only thought is how fortunate we all are that it hasn't rained yet during our stay because this vehicle in the wet would likely become incredibly dangerous.
The fourth and final effect of the extra weight of the vehicle was a surprising but welcome one. Inexplicably, my starts from a stop became much smoother and more consistent. One of my passengers quipped from the backseat that the clutch seemed to be cooperating today, a thought that I shared. Even hill starts had become unremarkable, which was surprising because the clutch pedal is too close to the center console and would catch my shoe if I ever tried to go for the dead pedal and caused innumerable misshifts.
I saw a kei car with extended wheel arches and wide rubber on all four corners being trailered around Birmingham today. Because of the complete lack of acceleration I was not able to catch up to it for identification, but in retrospect it definitely started life as a Daihatsu Mira X4R. Also the vehicles trapped behind me while leaving that roundabout was a line of three identical blue BMW M135is, all angry at having been inconvenienced by a black French garbage can.
That screen felt more like a Tomagachi viewed through a paper towel roll at a distance of 10 yards. And three control stalks....this interior is a mess.
I'd like to talk about electronics because this vehicle has some. I had previously assumed that, as a rental car, this C3 would have been a base model with no options, but this model has power windows and that identifies it as at least the middle trim of a three tier catalog, making the car a Citroen C3 Feel. Instead of being an £11k disaster (C3 Touch) this is actually a £14k nightmare! The lack of fog lights confirms that this is not a top-tier C3 Flair.
All four window switches on the driver's door are supposed to be auto-up and auto-down, but reliability of this system is quite poor. At times they do not automatically roll up or down and they will even stop halfway. I have left my headlights in DRL mode for the entirety of this trip and only this morning I heard a buzzer warning me that the lights are still on. Sometimes, if it's really dark, I can see some splotches on the road in front of me that have been illuminated by my headlights. Under most conditions these headlights are only useful to help others see me.
This C3 comes with a 7" touchscreen that embodies the "tablet glued to the dashboard" aesthetic that has become so popular with car manufacturers whose designers hate their jobs. However, I am convinced that they were actually using the centimeter side of their ruler or they thought that seven comes after four when coming up with that number. Or maybe they meant that the tablet is seven inches diagonally if you count the one inch bezel that exists on all four sides of the screen. The important part is that this screen feels small to the point of being useless. The screen is so small that there isn't room for on screen controls and displayed information, so Citroen employed a pop up window scheme for everything. It runs Android Auto, but you don't get to see it much because it is covered up by a door open notification. Or a completely illegible you just changed the volume window. Or a you just plugged in your phone and I don't know if you want to run Android Auto or MirrorLink box. I find that the majority of the times that I glance at the screen to see which turn to use in this roundabout the map is covered with some unimportant notification and I either have to go around the roundabout several times or I end up making a wrong turn.
The steering wheel contains media controls, as you would expect from any car made this side of 2005, but they are the worst that I have ever used. Skipping tracks or seeking to the next radio station requires a downward turn of the right scroll wheel and going back is commanded by an upward push. Volume, however, uses discrete buttons on the left side and the scroll wheel next to them instead seems to serve no purpose. It has a multi-window icon and I have never found any change in the vehicle to correspond with its movement. There is a voice command button but the radio is not sure if it wants to trigger Android Auto or Citroen's own software, so it makes a decision via random number generator. Only twice so far has it chosen to parse my speech with Google's software.
I hate backup cameras. I think that they are an expensive and complicated excuse for auto manufacturers to continue covering important windows with opaque sheet metal. I have owned and driven numerous cars with them and have found that they cause more problems than they solve. I didn't think that I'd ever say this, but this Citroen absolutely requires a backup camera. The rearview mirror is low and forward on the windshield and therefore, in addition to blocking the driver's view of the vehicle one lane to the left and one car length in front of the car, actually points upward when aimed at the rear window. Since I can't get the side mirrors to show the ground AND behind me, I either park with my head out the window or I find out that I'm not in the spot after I've gotten out of the car.
My other big complaint today is with the infotainment system again. Citroen's OS insisted that I listen to British politics and no amount of restarting Android Auto could get it to switch focus to Phil Collins or even Dave Grohl. My passengers took turns unplugging my phone and pressing all of the buttons on the dashboard to no avail.
Also my overall fuel economy has dropped to 42.0 mpg. I think that this Citroen might be broken after only 650 miles.
My last day in this miserable vehicle. I drove two hours to London for a departure from LHR and saw three things.
While plugged in and running Android Auto my phone's battery dropped from 51% to 26%
The average fuel economy indicator appears to update once every 50 miles or some other comparable timeframe. It only updated once during the drive to the airport.
This car likely needs an alignment. A coworker pointed out that it was difficult to keep in the lanes on the highway, requiring lots of steering input even on smooth, flat motorways.
This pinnacle of French engineering is not deserving of a conclusion, so I will leave you with this thought: the Citroen C3 received an award from Top Gear Magazine for being one of the thirteen worst vehicles from 1993 through 2013 alongside such vehicles as the PT Criuser Cabrio and Nissan Micra C+C, saying that the car was "as useful as a chocolate teapot." And that just about sums it up.
Congratulations, Citroen. There was an effort. Maybe.

I hoped it would be a simple fix when the customer asked me to look at her Windows 7 machine this week. I don't really do PC repair anymore but I have one or two old customers I'll help out when needed. I figured it was just some Windows settings that needed adjustment but after struggling with the machine for about an hour, I realized that it really needed a wipe and reload of the system. The repair shop I referred the customer to discovered hard drive issues I'd suspected but couldn't confirm with CHKDSK. They gave her a fantastic rate on a hard drive upgrade and Windows reinstall and returned her old hard drive to her for recovery of whatever data she needed.
It happens – hard drives go bad enough that running Windows is next to or completely impossible but it's still possible to read the drive enough to pull at least some of the data from it. One option is to crack open another machine and install the old hard drive as a secondary drive and read the data that way. Not everyone has another PC lying around or the desire to open the box, however. I had the first item and the ability to do the second but I have a few old drives lying around and I've been thinking about getting a drive adapter that would save me time.
The Unitek IDE / SATA to USB 3.0 Hard Drive Adapter was highly recommended on Amazon among all the other drive adapters and was discounted to almost 50% so I decided to try it out. This adapter supports both 40 / 44 pin IDE interfaces and SATA II drives. You can actually have three drives plugged into it at the same time if needed. The adapter also supports optical drives. This type of adapter is not a complicated concept at this point but with the number of options available, it's nice to know that the product itself is reliable.
The box includes the adapter itself (top left), the external power supply and 4-pin plug for an IDE drive (top right). Documentation, such as it is, is bottom center.
The box is small and nondescript. Inside, it comes with the adapter itself, an external power supply to power the drives and a 4-pin power cable for 3.5″ ID drives. There aren't really any instructions save for a very small two-page booklet that you will probably need a magnifying glass to read. That's not a big issue because operation is pretty simple for anyone who can plug something in and has used a flash drive at any point.
The data and power connectors on a drive are generally located on one end of the drive and are easy to match up to the correct connector on the Unitek adapter. A SATA connection is shown here.
Unpack all items from the box and make sure everything is present and in good condition.
Plug the power supply into the adapter and then into a power strip.
The connections on your old hard drive should be pretty easy to find. SATA connectors are two small groups of gold pins on one end of the drive. One group is larger than the others so it's easy to see which way the drive should plug in to the adapter. IDE connectors have two rows of 40 or 44 pins depending on the type of IDE drive. Again, the appearance of the pins will make the connection easy to determine.
The adapter has a small power switch on the side – turn it on.
Plug the USB adapter into your PC and let Windows take it from there.
Windows will recognize the drive and find the right drivers for it. I used the adapter on my Windows 7 laptop so, if you have 7 or later, there shouldn't be an issue. Once everything is finished, Windows will give you the option of what to do with the drive just like it does with flash drives and other media.
From there, it's just a matter of working with the drive like any other drive on your system. If the drive is not formatted, you will need to partition and format it. Hopefully, if you're working with a recovery drive, it's still in good enough shape to retrieve the data you need. After you're finished with the drive, you should right-click the icon in the Windows system tray and property eject the media as you would with a flash drive.
Overall, I was happy with the performance of the adapter. It was easy to use and I was able to quickly pull a few gigabytes of data from the drive and check out a couple of the other drives I have. This is a basic and useful tool for anyone who does PC support and I'd definitely recommend the Unitek unit based on performance, features and price.

So one thing right away that strikes me as I'm working through these is the fact that my harmonies are somewhat ambiguous in a way. What I mean is that since there are only 2 voices some intervals could be root/3rd or 3rd/5th, etc. Same with 6ths.
So the principle here is divorcing vertical thinking from horizontal thinking. Maybe once you get to 3 and 4 part writing a harmonic framework comes a little more the for foreground.
Good observation, and worthy of some deep pondering. There is no reason why that ambiguity needs to be resolved. If the counterpoint works, then all is well. As an added bonus, the ambiguity means that you can change the meaning of those two voices by adding a third voice in at least two different ways. That would be a very welcome feature for any material you might want to develop throughout the course of a larger work.
It is less obvious in two-part writing, but by the time you have added a third voice, traditional harmony -- triads, progression, cadence, et al. -- emerge spontaneously from correct contrapuntal technique. It seems like magic until you realize that the traditions of harmony are built upon the traditions of counterpoint and not the other way around.
Interesting you say this because through working on these and reading everything I can on the subject I realized when we learned part-writing in high school and college freshman theory it really comes out of these rules of counterpoint albeit a little less strict.
I think studying part writing though apart from counterpoint leads to the problem I have which is focusing too much on vertical entities rather than horizontal. And let's face it, learning part writing from a hymnal probably isn't THE best example of independent melodies one could cite.
I see "part-writing" as variation of 4-part species 1 counterpoint. Though it teaches one aspect of counterpoint, it promotes the importance of chord progression and vertical thinking at the expense of full contrapuntal understanding.
Still pretty useful for writing a hymn or a string bed for a pop tune.
One more question about what's acceptable. Is it ok for a voice to move in thirds? I find myself doing this on some of these to maintain as much contrary motion as possible.
it's ok, but it's probably not ideal to have a voice sound as though it is doing nothing but arpeggios.
your last example looked excellent.
5ths as such are not the issue (likewise octaves).
parallel 5ths and 8ves are entirely verboten.
and direct 5ths and 8ves are also forbidden.
an interval is "direct" when it is approached by leap in the upper voice, and when both voices are moving in the same direction.
it is particularly bad if BOTH voices move by leap to the interval.
I invite correction, but I believe two successive thirds is fine. Beyond that, no.
I think it may actually be more of a problem to focus on making as much contrary motion as possible. The goal should be voice independence which incidentally is served well by contrary motion. Contrary motion should be viewed as a good thing, but only up to the point where it begins to cramp your style. You need some variety in your motion, and an exercise using only contrary motion would probably not sound very interesting.
for parallel 3rds, we were permitted an absolute maximum of three in a row, but then no more thirds after that. and we had to supply an alternate realization with absolutely no parallel intervals.
The latter. So for example the soprano singing E - C - A. I see that in some of the C.F. so I assume the rules are enforced in that voice as well.

home > loans > loan > what is simple interest?
Simple interest is the most basic form of financing charge a lender can issue. With simple interest, a flat percentage fee is added to the loan principal. This fee is divided up among all the payment terms, and the borrower pays off a portion of the interest each month.
To calculate simple interest, use this formula: principal X interest rate. The product is the amount of interest that you will be charged over the life of the loan. Add this amount to the principal to determine the total cost of the loan. This sum can be divided by the number of payment terms for the loan to determine your monthly expense.
Most loans are not issued on simple interest. Some loans compound, meaning that the principal debt is re-totaled each month based on the remaining debt and the interest payments. Some loans are issued with an annual percentage rate or yield. In this case, a financial calculation must be used to determine the effect of compounding on the total cost of the loan. This interest model will always make a loan more extensive than simple interest. As a result, it is best to find a simple interest loan if possible.
