Hello there! Are you curious about why everyone is so excited about Blumaroos? Do you know of any famous Blumaroos? If not, you have come to the right place! Blumaroo Day is a celebration dedicated to this awesome species and there are many Blumaroo Neopians, items, avatars, and battledome equipment. Instead of trying to incorporate everything about Blumaroos into one article, I will touch on some of the more famous Blumaroo Neopians. Whether they are the main character of a game, an arrogant gamer, or someone in a position of power, it is important that you learn about these famous Blumaroos!
Rohane – Rohane is the main character in the addicting game Neoquest II. Rohane's mother, also a Blumaroo, is a noted character in the game. Traverse through the worlds of Neopia taking down villains and various enemies and try and take down Terask *cough* twice *cough.* Make sure you hold on to your father's sword, though. It may seem useless and only takes up space in the beginning of the game, but I hear it works well near the end. Rohane and his mother can be found on stamps and plushies. Watch out for the Plains Lupes!
King Roo - Not much attention is given towards King Roo over on Roo Island, but that does not mean you should not know important things about him! Ever wonder where Dice-A-Roo came from? According to the Neopedia article about King Roo, a strange Blumaroo dropped them off when King Roo after a failed attempt by others to entertain him. The rest is history. Whenever you hit the jackpot, just remember to thank good ol' King Roo (and that strange Blumaroo). Also, you might want to thank Advisor Broo, another Blumaroo, for holding down the castle while King Roo obsesses over the dice game!
Commander Garoo - *dodges Commander Garoos Battle Axe* PHEW! That was a close one. This Blumaroo has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. Commander Garoo is a valiant fighter in the Battledome and can be found in the Neocola Centre hanging out with the Space Faerie. Commander Garoo is fairly well known, and also is on a stamp (an expensive one, too!). Known for his allegiance to the dangerous Dr. Sloth and harsh temper, Commander Garoo could be considered one of the more dangerous villains in Neopia. Watch out for him in the Battledome, but also lurking in the shadows.
Count Von Roo – It's starting to get late and things are getting a little spooky over on Roo Island. While King Roo is fast asleep, Count Von Roo is just waiting for the right time to wake up and great eager Neopians trying to sneak a peak. Be careful when you visit Von Roo as your Neopet might leave a little weaker. When the vampire is not tucked away in his castle. Von Roo is another popular Blumaroo that is referenced in the form of plushies, images on stamps, and even a gnome!
Lilo Blumario – If you are an avid fan of the Altador Cup, you probably already know this scoring-phenom. Lilo is one of the more dynamic players on Roo Island's Altador Cup team. Even though Roo Island had a rough finish this year, they still have next year to look forward to. As someone to typically supports Krawk Island, Lilo is still a player that continues to impress me with their ability to score. Lilo is described as a leader and a clutch performer. Even though Lilo struggles with jumping and may not be the strongest player, he still has a ton of heart. Make sure to keep an eye out for this Blumaroo's bright future.
Aristotle A. Avinroo (AAA) – Oh, Aristotle. Even at such a young age, this gaming star has continued to turn heads in the game room. AAA"s arrogance sometimes gets in the way of his success, but he is still a force to be reckoned with. Introduced in 2006, AAA's gaming skills have only gotten better. Look out for him again in the next few months. Through the Daily Dare and the Games Master Challenge, AAA is always busy getting better and better, and also reminding us that he thinks he is the best. I'm sure having his name in the Neopian Times will not help his ego much though!
King Roothless – One look at this Blumaroo and heads will be turning away in disgust. First seen in 2008, King Roothless was accused of kidnapping Aristotle and his sister Abigail in order to show Neopians that he was the best in the Games Room. If you would like to re-live the tale, head over to the Games Room and play Dungeon Dash.
Horace – Horace can be found alongside his friend Zina in Ruins Rampage. Originally a part of the Lost Desert Plot, Horace was a part of the Desert Scarabs. This plot was before my time so unfortunately I cannot speak too much about Horace. If you are like me and aren't as familiar with the Lost Desert Plot, I encourage you to research about it's history as it was an important time.
Chef Bonju – Remember that avatar that took FOREVER to figure out? No, not the Wishing Well avatar. I obviously cannot tell you how to obtain this avatar, but if you are not familiar with this avatar, please know that many grueling months were spent trying to figure out the solution to this avatar. With Chef Bonju on the cover of this avatar, make sure you try and add this one to your collection. Don't worry though, I overheard some other Neopians heading to Mystery Island to check out what the fuss is all about! Maybe you should follow them!
Thanks for taking the time to read about the famous Neopians that are Blumaroos. I am sure that I have missed some notable Blumaroos, but in the interest of time and space, I leave the further research up to you. I hope this article has sparked your interests. Who knows, maybe we will see a rapid increase in Blumaroo adoptions, galleries, and fanfare!


The Hammermill in Maforay N'Jala Village, Northern Province of Sierra Leone grinding cassava.
I've just returned home from Sierra Leone, and am very excited about the Hammermill. I am attaching pictures of the villagers processing cassava while I was there. I talked with the chief and others involved with the processor while I was in the village. They are very hopeful this will be their main resource toward becoming self-sufficient. In their particular part of the country, there is no cassava processing, and they have to travel many miles to Bo to purchase garee, which is a byproduct of cassava. The Hammermill, to their amazement, makes the cassava into a very smooth, almost mashed potato quality texture, which is considered to be garee. The tub that they ground for me took between 3 and 4 minutes to fill. We had talked about their 5-10 acre plot of cassava that is already planted, and realized that it is not nearly enough to keep pace with the machine. They have allready planted an additional 10 acres. While I was there, I pushed the machine very hard to see how it would handle that kind of use. The only problem we had was a little wear on the belt, and I think that was due to the belt not being tight enough. They have trained two young men, who have taken on the responsibility of running, cleaning, and maintaining the machine. They had gone over your manual with me, and understand it very well. We are off to an excellent beginning for the village of Maforay!!


The Alliance was honored to have several members attend the dedication of the new FDA-TRACK room at FDA's headquarters last Tuesday. FDA-TRACK is an important effort to increase transparency and accountability at the FDA. Both Commissioner Hamburg and Deputy Commissioner Sharfstein presented at the dedication. The FDA-TRACK room at FDA provides a physical manifestation of this important initiative. Every quarter and at other times throughout the quarter, senior managers come to the room to report to the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner the status of their program measures. Now all 190 organizational units at the FDA have at least one program measure; and there are almost 900 program measures on the website. If you have not been on the FDA-TRACK site recently, we recommend you visit it. It is now the second most visited set of pages on the FDA's web site.
Mega-budget considerations. As has been discussed in prior Friday Updates, the "domestic discretionary" programs are under extraordinary pressure. While only 17% of the US budget is in this category … both the Administration and the Congress often act like cutting back on these programs will contribute in some meaningful way to deficit reduction.
Some savings are certainly possible, but the amount is piddling unless the US government is prepared to walk away from its commitment to education funding, NIH, supplemental nutrition and feeding programs, alternative energy programs, Amtrak, NASA and so on. The rhetoric on deficit reduction in DC and on the campaign trail does not match up with the realities that most of these programs have good public support or are essential to the well-being and functioning of our nation.
FDA is too small to be a source of significant deficit reduction. Nonetheless, if domestic discretionary programs remain at risk for major cuts, this will impact FDA's ability to justify necessary increases in its funding. At least twice in recent years, most of the domestic discretionary budget was flat-funded and FDA was, nonetheless, handled separately and given increases. The more pressure on domestic discretionary programs, the less likely there will be such exceptions.
Executive Branch priorities. Without question the President's budget request is the starting point for all consideration of funding levels. Even in the toughest times, the President finds money for the issues and programs that reflect his priorities. This becomes immediately evident if you get a coveted mention in the President's State of the Union speech. Even without that, when the budget numbers come out there will be some programs with 30% increases and some cut in half.
This Administration recognizes the value of FDA and Dr. Hamburg has been a strong advocate for the agency. Nonetheless, we are not in the elite group that are certain to be well-treated in the FY 12 budget. That is the goal of the Alliance's work with the Executive Branch on the FY 12 budget request.
Upcoming changes in the membership of the Appropriations Committees. It is probably a coincidence, but all three of the senators who lost in the primaries were Appropriations Committee members: Spector, Bennett and Murkowski. Other members on the Senate side are not returning next year (Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Judd Gregg of New Hampshire) and at least two are in tight races (Patty Murray of Washington and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana).
On the House side, Appropriations Committee chairman David Obey of Wisconsin has announced his retirement. He is also chair of the Labor-HHS Appropriations subcommittee. That alone is enough to set off a chain reaction among senior members over committee assignments and chairmanships. There are likely to be a lot more changes based on election results. In addition, it seems probable that more of the Committee's membership (Democrats and Republicans) are likely to be oriented toward fiscal restraint and deficit reduction.
In sum, there is a lot that contributes to FDA's funding that has little to do with FDA. The Alliance vision of strengthening FDA requires us to take all these factors into account.


In the Windows software environment, OpenEdge uses the progress.ini file as well as the Registry to maintain environment variables.
When you install OpenEdge, the installation program automatically updates the Registry with the information in the progress.ini file that is shipped to you. Progress Software Corporation recommends that you maintain environment variables in both the progress.ini file and the Registry. If you modify environment variables in the progress.ini file, you must update the information in the Registry.
Although there are several methods for adding and deleting information from the Registry directly, Progress Software Corporation recommends that you do not use these direct update methods. Instead, maintain the Registry information by editing the progress.ini file and using the INI2REG utility to update the Registry. This approach synchronizes the information in the progress.ini file and the Registry without causing unintended edits to the Registry.
For more information about modifying the progress.ini file, see the Maintaining the progress.ini file.
In addition to the progress.ini file, the OpenEdge installation includes a Windows manifest file which provides your ABL (Advanced Business Language) application with the Windows XP look. For more information on this file, see Windows manifest file.
The OpenEdge GUI for .NET enables you to expose your ABL applications through a .NET interface. GUI for .NET applications have extra requirements of which you need to aware. For more information on maintaining an environment for GUI for .NET applications, see Environments with OpenEdge GUI for .NET applications.

Q: Dealing with out-of-range values on a PARTITION BY RANGE I have a table for storing events which is partitioned on a timestamptz column by month using PARTITION BY RANGE.
There are 5 partitions at the moment, containing a span of a month each, starting from FOR VALUES FROM ('2018-01-01') TO ('2018-02-01') and ending with FOR VALUES FROM ('2018-05-01') TO ('2018-06-01').
Most data is entered in a linear and predictable fashion. However, events are consumed by apps who report them, and I do have to allow for a past event to be entered at any time - which could have a timestamp earlier than 2018-01-01, or even a future event (for example a charge that is expected to occur some time in the future).
I was planning on creating one partition for past events that would span much longer than a month since there is no expectation of having too many of those.
I'm not sure what would be the best approach for future events where no partition exists for yet.
Is there a way to get the min/max values I could store within the existing partitions? If not, I could create a reference table that would store these values but I prefer to not have to maintain that.
Should I create a trigger to check for each row being inserted (seems expensive)? Should I capture errors on inserts and deal with those one at a time?
Running on PostgreSQL 10.3.

A:
Is there a way to get the min/max values I could store within the existing partitions?

And you also ask in a comment:

Do you know of a way to get the lower and upper bounds of the range by query?

I wouldn't know of any dedicated system catalog information function for this particular purpose. But:

*

*Range partitioning is based on inheritance internally:

Individual partitions are linked to the partitioned table with inheritance behind-the-scenes;

*Inheritance trees are stored in pg_inherits:

one entry for each direct child table

*Partition bounds are stored in pg_class.relpartbound in internal format (pg_node_tree).

*The system catalog information functions pg_get_expr(pg_node_tree, relation_oid) can:

decompile internal form of an expression

We can build a query from this set of clues. Based on the example for range partitioning in the manual:

SELECT i.inhrelid::regclass
     , partition_bound
     , split_part(partition_bound, '''', 2) AS lower_bound
     , split_part(partition_bound, '''', 4) AS upper_bound
FROM   pg_inherits i
JOIN   pg_class    c ON c.oid = i.inhrelid
     , pg_get_expr(c.relpartbound, i.inhrelid) AS partition_bound
WHERE  inhparent = 'measurement'::regclass;

inhrelid             | partition_bound                                  | lower_bound | upper_bound
:------------------- | :----------------------------------------------- | :---------- | :----------
measurement_y2006m02 | FOR VALUES FROM ('2006-02-01') TO ('2006-03-01') | 2006-02-01  | 2006-03-01
measurement_y2006m03 | FOR VALUES FROM ('2006-03-01') TO ('2006-04-01') | 2006-03-01  | 2006-04-01

db<>fiddle here
Limitations:

*

*Extracting lower and upper bound from the string based on single quotes is cheap & dirty. There is probably a cleaner way to extract the value from relpartbound directly.

*Only including the first level of inheritance. You have to walk the graph in pg_inherits recursively to cover sub-partitioning.

*This builds on several implementation details for declarative partitioning, which is a new feature of Postgres 10. While I do not expect this query to break due to changes in one of the next major versions, there is a chance it might.

Pardes Chana – Karkur ( פַּרְדֵּס חַנָּה-כַּרְכּוּר, v oficiálním přepisu do angličtiny Pardes Hanna-Karkur) je místní rada (menší město) v Izraeli, v Haifském distriktu, které vzniklo roku 1969 sloučením dosud samostatných obcí Pardes Chana a Karkur.

Geografie

Leží v nadmořské výšce 60 m v pobřežní nížině, která severovýchodně od města vybíhá do údolí Bik'at ha-Nadiv. Východně od města začíná region Vádí Ara. Severovýchodně od obce vede vádí Nachal Mišmarot, které severně od města ústí do vádí Nachal Barkan, které pak ústí do Nachal Ada. Jižně od města vede tok Nachal Chadera.

Je situováno přibližně 6 km severovýchodně od města Chadera, 48 km severoseverovýchodně od centra Tel Avivu a 37 km jižně od centra Haify. Pardes Chana – Karkur se nachází v hustě osídleném a zároveň intenzivně zemědělsky využívaném pásu cca 8 kilometrů od pobřeží Středozemního moře. Osídlení v tomto regionu je v naprosté většině židovské, pouze na východ odtud se nacházejí obce osídlené izraelskými Araby ve Vádí Ara, jako Kafr Kara.

Pardes Chana – Karkur je na dopravní síť napojena pomocí četných lokálních silnic (číslo 650, 651, 652). Západně od města procházejí severojižní tahy dálnice číslo 4 a dálnice číslo 2. Východně od města byla počátkem 21. století dobudována rovněž severojižně orientovaná dálnice číslo 6 (takzvaná Transizraelská dálnice). Obcí prochází pobřežní železniční trať. Nachází se tu železniční stanice Kejsarija-Pardes Chana. Při železniční trati, západně od města, se rozkládá velká průmyslová zóna.

Dějiny

Karkur byl založen roku 1913. Tehdy tu pozemky získala skupina Židů z Velké Británie sdružená v organizaci Achuzat London ha-Rišona (). Plánovaná osada byla pojmenována po arabském místním názvu. Ke skutečnému osídlení pozemků došlo až roku 1925, kdy tu vyrostly první domy. Šlo o zemědělskou vesnici organizovanou jako mošav (mošav ovdim). Roku 1927 v ní byla zřízena základní škola. Roku 1928 už tu žilo 150 lidí. Ve vesnici fungovala synagoga.

Osada Pardes Chana (doslova "Hanin citrusový sad", podle Hany, dcery Nathana Mayera Rothschilda) vznikla nedaleko od Karkuru ve 20. letech 20. století. Vznik osady iniciovala od roku 1924 Jewish Colonization Association, která pokračovala v předchozích sponzorských a podnikatelských aktivitách Edmonda Jamese de Rothschilda. První roky se nepodařilo docílit výraznějšího osídlení. Problémem byl nedostatek vody a konflikty s Beduíny usazenými v okolí. Až roku 1929 zde byla založena soukromě hospodařící zemědělská vesnice typu mošava. Místní ekonomika byla založena na pěstování citrusů. Roku 1932 vznikla v osadě základní škola Alonim (), která sloužila i dětem z okolních židovských vesnic. Roku 1934 pak přibyla zemědělská odborná škola. V roce 1937 byla v Pardes Chana otevřena velká synagoga.

V květnu 1936 během arabského povstání v mandátní Palestině zničili Arabové 5000 stromů na plantážích vesnice Karkur. V roce 1937 byli při arabských útocích zabiti dva místní obyvatelé. Při dalším útoku v květnu 1938 byl jeden obyvatel těžce zraněn.

Intenzivní osidlování zde vytvořilo již v 1. polovině 20. století územně kompaktní blok židovského osídlení. Pardes Chana i Karkur pak byly udrženy židovskými silami během první arabsko-izraelské války a oblast se stala součástí státu Izrael. K roku 1949 správní území obce Pardes Chana dosahovalo  dunamů (22,437 km²) a Karkuru  dunamů. Obě obce byly evidovány jako soukromě hospodaříci vesnice typu mošava. V Pardes Chana tehdy žilo už  lidí, v Karkuru 850. Po roce 1948 v souvislosti s vlnou židovských přistěhovalců vznikl v Pardes Chana přistěhovalecký tranzitní tábor (takzvaná Ma'abara).

Počet obyvatel v obou obcích prudce narůstal a měnil je v městská sídla, která územně srůstala do jednoho urbanistického celku. V Pardes Chana se začal 50. letech rozvíjet průmysl (potravinářská firma Tabori - ). Roku 1969 byly obce Pardes Chana a Karkur sloučeny.

Demografie
Podle údajů z roku 2009 tvořili naprostou většinu obyvatel Židé – přibližně  osob (včetně statistické kategorie "ostatní", která zahrnuje nearabské obyvatele židovského původu, ale bez formální příslušnosti k židovskému náboženství, přibližně  osob). Populace Pardes Chana-Karkur je smíšená, tedy složená ze skulárních i nábožensky založených Židů. Podíl nábožensky orientovaných obyvatel je cca 25 %. Ve městě působí víc než 40 synagog.

Jde o středně velkou obec městského typu s dlouhodobě mírně rostoucí populací. K 31. prosinci 2015 zde žilo  lidí.

Jews have been keeping track of relationships for millennia--from the complex family trees in Deuteronomy to genealogical lists in the Books of Chronicles--but in recent decades the social ritual has taken on new life, and a new name: Jewish Geography.
For highly mobile young Jews today, Jewish Geography has become an ongoing game, played both in person and through social media such as Facebook and Linked-In. Jewish Geography is a "manifestation of a sense of Jewish peoplehood," says Sylvia Barack Fishman, professor of Judaic studies at Brandeis University who writes about American Jewish sociology. "When people play Jewish Geography, they're showing their assumption that all Jews are connected in some way to each other." It's probably a result of the fact that Jews were forced to uproot themselves again and again due to persecution, she continues. "It was important to establish connections when they moved, so Jews created this sociability."
The ability to forge an almost immediate intimacy with other Jews made it easier for immigrants to make friends in new places, and also served to keep them up-to-date on those they had left behind. It is a way, Fishman says, for Jews to feel part of an extended family despite different customs, foods and languages.
Jewish Geography allows Jews to construct a sense of rooted identity, writes Jonathan Boyarin, professor of modern Jewish thought at the University of North Carolina. It's "person-centered" and also what he calls chronotopic. "It rests on time--memory, history, genealogy--as much as on place markers. In Jewish geography, people located each other... along an imaginary grid beyond the rigid...dimensions of space and time."
Like Jews themselves, Jewish Geography transcends national borders. In Israel, the pursuit is called pitsuchim, a word that refers to a mixture of seeds and nuts usually eaten as a snack in front of the television, and conies from the root pei tazdei cheit, which means to crack or burst open. A common pastime among young Israeli backpackers traveling the world, the game takes its name from a 1980s Israel television quiz show in which contestants answered trivia questions in order to progress across a game hoard.

San Jose's Mehran Kamkar Appointed to the City's Planning Commission
San Jose, CA - In June of 2006, Mehran Kamkar was appointed to the San Jose Planning Commission. Having already served on the Traffic Appeals Commission as well as the Small Business Development Commissions for the past 8 years, Kamkar has strategically positioned himself towards a possible candidacy for the San Jose City Council. An active member of the Iranian American community in Northern California, Kamkar believes that Iranian Americans must get involved in local politics in order to protect their interests and enhance the image of the community.
After visiting the United States with his family in 1975, Kamkar knew that he was going to adopt America as his second home. He attended San Jose State University and finally Stanford University where he received a BS in Civil Engineering and a MS in Engineering and Management. As an officer with the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at San Jose State University, Kamkar's appreciation for community involvement bloomed.
After earning his Master's Degree from Stanford and becoming more experienced with public works projects, Kamkar decided to join the Navy's Reserve Officer Program to incorporate more discipline into his life and give back to his adopted country. Unfortunately, due to age restrictions, the Navy could not accept him at the level he wanted, but instead suggested he give back to his local community. He took those words to heart. He volunteered his time and coached youth soccer for 8 years, school robotics for 3 years, and judged youth science and engineering fair contests for 3 years.
Kamkar currently serves as a principal of CCC Engineers, a small consulting, engineering and land development firm in San Jose. In addition he is involved in a number of public and private projects all over California. His twenty years of experience in most facets of civil engineering helped create the first toll highway in Orange County and allowed him to serve as an expert witness in various construction claim cases.
Dedication to his work is matched only by his passion for his community. Kamkar currently serves on the Board of the Bay Area Iranian American Chamber of Commerce (IACC) and is one of the organizers of the Norouz Spring Festival, celebrating Sizdeh Bedar, in Bay Area. He is also known for his work with the Society of Iranian Professionals (SIP) in Northern California and is currently working on a new project to create an Iranian American Community Center in the South Bay.
All of the energy spent in these endeavors has given him the knowledge and experience needed for the appointment to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission has two major responsibilities. Under the city charter and the municipal code; to act as a quasi-judicial body when deliberation on land use permits is necessary and to serve in an advisory capacity on the topics of zoning, re-zoning, general plan amendments, and zoning code amendments. Pursuant to California state law, the Planning Commission is also required to review redevelopment and capital improvement plans.
Kamkar encourages Iranian Americans, regardless of their party affiliations, to participate in the political and civic affairs of the United States. "This is our 2nd home. We call Iran our mother country and the U.S. our father country," says Kamkar. "We must care about our country. Our children are living here now. It is our responsibility to raise the standard of living for the next generation and be good examples while enjoying the wonderful amenities of this life." As a member of the Planning Commission, Kamkar is proud to represent the Iranian American community in San Jose. Kamkar's advice for the young Iranian Americans who aspire to become more involved in their communities is simple: "Lead, follow, or get out of the way. We are strong in numbers and we have lots of money, but we are constantly looking for the next guy to make the difference. We need to stop looking for someone else to do the job and realize we must do the job ourselves."

He was born His Serene Highness Wilhelm Karl Florestan von Urach, Graf von Wurttemberg in 1864 as succeeded as Graf von Urach at the age of 4. His mother was Princess Florestine of Monaco, sometime regent of that country in the absence of the Sailor-Prince Albert I and Wilhelm spent most of his childhood in Monaco and became rather more French in his habits than German. Because of his mother he was, for a time, heir to the Monegasque throne but the idea of having a German ruler on their doorstep was unacceptable to the French who instead recognized the daughter of the future Prince Louis II and his wife Charlotte. Eventually he abdicated his rights in Monaco in favor of some French cousins. In 1913 he was a contender for the throne of Albania being supported by the Catholic population in the north but, as we know, he lost out to Prince Wilhelm Wied who was chosen in 1914.
Like all good German princes he joined the army and served capably as general of the 26th Infantry division in World War I, taking part in the invasions of France and Belgium where his sister-in-law, Elizabeth of Bavaria, was Queen. He retired in 1917 and following the string of victories on the eastern front against Russia came to be considered for the throne of recently liberated Lithuania. He was considered well prepared for a throne, shared the Catholic religion of the country and had a good war record behind him. He was also a recent widower and might marry a prominent Lithuanian lady. The Baltic states long had a strong German aristocratic presence and so in the summer of 1918 he was formally invited by the Crown Council of Lithuania to become king. He accepted the invitation and was duly elected the following month, against the wishes of the socialists who boycotted the proceedings, as King Mindaugas II.
This meant he got farther than most other potential monarchs of the Great War but he still never had a chance to establish himself. It should also not be taken for granted that this was simply to be a German puppet state. The Lithuanians were sincerely wanting independence and they knew that the only way they could survive Russian re-conquest was by keeping close to Germany and they also insisted that their King reside in Lithuania and speak Lithuanian. If the Germans had simply been calling the shots as they wished the country would have been absorbed into the German Reich and, in fact, Germany never recognized Wilhelm (or Mindaugas II as he was) as King of Lithuania. In light of this opposition he was forced to remain in Liechtenstein while the political kinks were worked out though he did get the spiritual comfort of a letter of congratulations from Pope Benedict XV on becoming King of Lithuania.
Of course, by the autumn the whole dream fell apart with the defeat of Germany on the western front, the armistice and the recently liberated countries in the east abandoning the Germans and rushing to the Allies for support. It would not ultimately do them any good as all of the Baltic states were re-conquered by the Soviets just prior to World War II and would remain subject to the USSR until the collapse of the Iron Curtain. As for Duke Wilhelm he married the daughter of King Ludwig III of Bavaria but had no children and was passed over for the throne of the former Kingdom of Wurttemberg. He died in 1928 in Italy.
This certainly pained Elisabeth, to have close relatives involved in the invasion of Belgium. I heard that one of her own brothers was killed in the war, not very far from where she was, but on the other side.
Fascinating story about Mindaugas. Another missed opportunity.

After exchanging a few emails with Stephen Hill, he clarified how they were able to cull shadows from the scene using the Hierarchical Z-Buffer (HZB). The purpose of mentioning the paper CC Shadow Volumes, was just to point out the source that gave them the inspiration. Their solution to culling the shadows was actually really simple, I was kicking myself for not seeing it sooner.
I may try to throw together a shadow sample that demonstrates this, but it's so straight forward I figured I would go ahead and post the explanation in case I never get around to coding up a version with this implemented in there.
Create a HZB from the point of view of the player.
Create a HZB from the point of view of the shadow casting light.
Cull the shadow casting objects using the lights HZB. 1. If the object is culled, mark it as culled.
If the object isn't culled, we need to compute a rough approximation of the extents of shadow volume. You can think of this volume as being the minimum depth points on your bounding box (A-D) and the maximum depth sampled from where those points project onto the light's HZB (E-H) (Figure 1). Now that you have a bounding volume for the shadow, you can transform that volume into the camera space of the player, and test it against the player's HZB; just as if the extents were any other object you were attempting to cull with the HZB (Figure 2). If you can't see the volume, you can write out that the caster is culled, otherwise write it as visible.


2014 Marching Band Season Begins!
The 2014 Marching Band Season begins July 4 with all new marchers or "Rookies" from 8am - 12pm. The rest of the band joins in from July 5 from 8am - 12pm and on Sunday from 1pm - 5pm.

Report to the field no later that 10 minutes before the start of rehearsal.


Many surveys (SDSS, BAT, Fermi, IRAS, … ) have multiple bands where where the differences in the survey descriptions are easy to parametrize. In this new release the number of survey description files has dropped from over 100 to a little over 50.
While this saves a little space in the SkyView JAR, the major advantage is that it means we don't have to repeat the common information, so we should be able to keep the survey descriptions more accurate over the long run. However it's possible we missed some element where we've left a survey specific item in and not parametrized it properly. Please let us know if you see any problems.
Another change in the latest version is that we've made much more extensive use of the ability that SkyView has always had of providing links to related SkyView images in the results for a primary image. If you look at the new INTEGRAL Galactic plane surveys, the BAT data or the PSPC pointed surveys, you will see links to additional imagery. From the web page you can directly request intensity/flux maps for the INTEGRAL, BAT, RASS and PSPC data, but the results have links to exposure and counts maps, that are not available from the web page directly. You can invoke these directly in the batch interface however.
This allows us to keep the Web form a little cleaner. We've tied together the RASS Count and Intensity maps where they had previously been presented as separate surveys. We've also now have space to bring back the PSPC 0.6 degree cutoff maps. This is a mosaic of the high resolution cores of the ROSAT PSPC pointed observations.
With about 130 total surveys making it possible to find all of the surveys is becoming a real driver in our development.
If you are using one of the surveys that is not directly available and find the new organization to be a problem please contact us.

Diana Buttu es una abogada palestino-canadiense que trabajó como portavoz de la Organización para la Liberación de Palestina y como asesora legal palestina en las negociaciones de paz entre israelíes y palestinos. Ha trabajado asociada con la Universidad Stanford, la Universidad de Harvard y el Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU).

Educación e infancia
Buttu nació en Canadá de padres palestinos. Según una breve biografía de Buttu en el Institute for Middle East Understanding, sus padres "no hablaban de su identidad palestina". Buttu afirma que intentaron "aislarme" después de haberse ido de Israel "por la evidente discriminación".

Tiene un bachiller universitario en letras en la especialidad de Estudios sobre Oriente Medio y el Islam, un máster en derecho por la Universidad de Toronto, un doctorado en jurisprudencia por la Queen's University Faculty of Law, un máster en jurisprudencia por la Universidad de Stanford y un máster en administración y dirección de empresas por la Kellogg School of Management de la Universidad del Noroeste. Poco después de obtener su doctorado en jurisprudencia se trasladó a Palestina, y actualmente reside en Ramala.

Vida profesional
Buttu comenzó su trabajo como mediadora en el año 2000, poco después del estallido de la Segunda Intifada, en el cargo de portavoz de la Unidad de Apoyo a las Negociaciones de la Organización para la Liberación de Palestina. The Economist la describió en 2005 como lo más cercano a un cambio de imagen palestino. Un artículo de opinión de Al-Ahram Weekly en 2005 la alababa por haber conseguido proyectar la imagen opuesta al estereotipo de los palestinos como villanos.

Desde el fin de la Segunda Intifada, Buttu ha seguido trabajando como analista política para el Institute for Middle East Understanding, "una organización independiente y sin ánimo de lucro que proporciona a los periodistas un rápido acceso a información sobre Palestina y los palestinos, así como a fuentes expertas tanto en los Estados Unidos como en Oriente Medio." A fecha de 2020 trabaja como profesora en la Universidad de Birzeit.

Opiniones
En una entrevista en la radio pública estadounidense (NPR) concedida poco después de obtener el cargo de consejera de la OLP, Buttu sugirió que era responsabilidad de los EE. UU. solucionar el problema entre Israel y Palestina.

"Tuve sentimientos encontrados con respecto a las negociaciones" afirmó Buttu. "Hay un problema estructural cuando los palestinos se sientan a negociar con los israelíes. Es como negociar con una pistola apuntándote a la cabeza, donde el pueblo que se encuentra bajo ocupación tiene que negociar su propia liberación."

En una entrevista con la CNN en 2008, Buttu afirmó que los cohetes palestinos no tienen cabezas explosivas y sugirió que Hamás es un resultado de la ocupación israelí.

Buttu propuso en un artículo en 2010 que los EE.UU. condicionasen su ayuda a Israel al desmantelamiento de los asentamientos israelíes en Cisjordania.

En 2011, después de la publicación de los Papeles de Palestina, Buttu pidió la dimisión de Saeb Erekat, el jefe negociador palestino, y afirmó que los documentos revelaban cómo de "alejados y poco representativos" estaban los negociadores palestinos con respecto a su propio pueblo. En una entrevista en 2011, Buttu declaró que sabía de buena tinta que los palestinos habían estado dispuestos a ceder territorio de Cisjordania a los israelíes a cambio de un acuerdo de paz.

Buttu defendió en un artículo de opinión en 2012 que las negociaciones entre palestinos e israelíes son "fútiles" dado el desequilibrio de poder entre las partes. "Cada propuesta israelí, e incluso la premisa subyacente de las negociaciones" argumentó Buttu, "buscan regularizar el comportamiento ilegal de Israel."

En una entrevista con la CNN en noviembre de 2012, Buttu declaró que el conflicto entre palestinos e israelíes no acabaría hasta que Israel no rindiese "cuentas ante el derecho internacional." Esto, según explicó, significa obligar a Israel a "retirarse por completo de Cisjordania y de la Franja de Gaza" para permitir a "todos palestinos vivir en libertad."

En un artículo de opinión de noviembre de 2012 para The Globe and Mail, Buttu calificó a la Franja de Gaza de "una prisión al aire libre" y denunció que "la última campaña de bombardeos de Israel (...) no distingue civiles de combatientes ni adultos de niños." En este artículo, Buttu acusaba a Israel de establecer "políticas sobre el número mínimo de calorías necesarias para evitar la desnutrición" y de limitar estrictamente el acceso de los gazatíes al mar Mediterráneo.

Buttu reiteró en una entrevista en enero de 2013 que las negociaciones entre palestinos e israelíes, tanto antes como durante y después de su participación en las mismas, han fallado "principalmente porque había dos partes muy desiguales." En la misma entrevista expresó su deseo de que Mahmoud Abbas "firmase la entrada en la Corte Penal Internacional", "haga que Israel pague por la construcción y expansión de sus asentamientos" y "se declare ese apartheid."

En una entrevista de julio de 2014 con la CNN, Buttu rechazó la acusación de que Hamás había usado escudos humanos, afirmó que no era cierto y que de serlo constituiría un crimen de guerra, y sugirió que era racista afirmar que muchos palestinos actuaban como escudos humanos. Su entrevistador, Jake Tapper, respondió que un vídeo de dos miembros de Hamás en el que pedían a civiles que actuasen como escudos humanos para proteger algunos edificios que eran objetivo de bombardeos israelíes demostraba que era una táctica común en este grupo.

En 2018, en un artículo de opinión en el diario israelí Haaretz, Buttu escribió que lamentaba haber formado parte del equipo negociador palestino. "Es repugnante que el mundo exija a los palestinos que negocien su libertad mientras Israel continúa robando tierra palestina."

Chalet style homes with attached garage – As the cost of building an attached garage is calculated, you must consider each step in the construction process and make choices of materials and optional features. Contact several suppliers to find out the cost of each component and then factor the number of each item that is needed to build the garage.
How to calculate cost of adding chalet style homes with attached garage; determine the dimensions of the attached garage. Dig your support feet by hand, or rent a backhoe with a narrow bucket to do the job. Buy 2 for 4 wooden beams and ½ inch plywood for balance forms. You will need shapes on the outside and inside of the shoes. Mix the cement itself or call a local cement company to deliver the premixed product. Determine the number of cubic yards needed for foundation and soil when calculating the cost of building a garage.
Then for calculate cost of adding chalet style homes with attached garage. Calculate the cost blocks, sheets by three walls and the roof, shingles, at least one vent for the roof, approximately 5 pounds. of the number 8 nails of the foil box, 5 lbs. of the number 16 nails for framing and for ceilings nails for tiles. Decide the width, height and style of the garage door. Optional costs include an automatic garage door opener, service doors and lock system, windows, cabinets, shelving, work desk and hardware for hanging tools.

Q: Angular JS: Storing data on a promise My problem is that I don't know where to store data I need to access in the final callbacks for a http request. In jQuery I would just do the following
var token = $.get('/some-url', {}, someCallback);
token.oSomeObject = {data: 'some data'};

function someCallback( data, status, token ){
     token.oSomeObject.data // 'some data'
}

I use the token to store request specific data.
Now the only way I find to acheive the this in Angular is to store the data in the actual config:
var config = {
    url: '/some-url',
    method: 'GET',
    oSomeObject: { data: 'some data' }
};
$http(config).success(someCallback);

function someCallback( data, status, headers, config ){
     config.oSomeObject.data // 'some data'
}

For one this prevents you from using the short-hand calls ($http.get, $http.post) I also find it's much a much more obtrusive way when wrapping the calls in a specific service module.
Is there any other way of doing this?
Updated to clarify
I'm probably just missing something simple here not understanding how to properly use the promise API, but just to be sure we're on the same page let me give you a bit more detail to the issue.
I have 2 files: 1) Controller.js 2) AjaxServices.js (all ajax calls are defined here as methods on a service).
AjaxServices.js looks like this:
app.service('AjaxService', function( $http ){
     var self = this;

     this.createUser = function( oUser, fSuccessCallback ){
          return $http.put('/api/user', {oUser: oUser})
                       .success(fSuccessCallback);
     }
}

Controller.js looks like this:
app.controller('MyController', function( $scope, AjaxServices ){
     $scope.saveUser = function( oUser ){
          var oPromise = AjaxServices.createUser( oUser, $scope.onUserSaved );

          oPromise.oUser = oUser // this is how I solve it in jQuery.ajax. The oPromise
                                 // is then sent as the token object in the onUserSaved
                                 // callback
     }
     $scope.onUserSaved = function( oStatus, status, headers, config ){
          oStatus.id // here is the id of the newly created user
                     // which I want to now hook on to the oUser local object

     }
}

How would you achieve the same thing using the promise API?

A: UPDATE 2. Some notes on your updated code:
You don't have to pass the callback to the service. This effectivelly kills the purpose of the promise. Let the service to it's job without coupling it to any consumer of it's data.
app.service('AjaxService', function( $http ){
    var self = this;

    this.createUser = function( oUser ){
      return $http.put('/api/user', {oUser: oUser});
    }
}

Now the service does't care about the the callbacks, meaning you could attach multiple callbacks to same service $http call. Ok, let's move on to the service data consumer, in this case it's the controller:
app.controller('MyController', function( $scope, AjaxServices ){
  $scope.saveUser = function( oUser ){
    var oOriginalPromise = AjaxServices.createUser( oUser );
    //lets modify the orginal promise to include our oUser
    var oModifiedPromise = oOriginalPromise.then(function(response) {
      response.oUser = oUser;
      return response;
    });
    //in the code above we've chained original promise with .then,
    //modified response object and returned it for next promise to receive
    //at the same time, .then created a new promise

    //finally, after modifying our response, we can pass it to the desired callback.
    //note, that .success and .error are $http specific promise methods,
    //in all other cases use .then(fnSuccess, fnError)
    oModifiedPromise.then($scope.onUserSaved);
  }
  $scope.onUserSaved = function(responseWithUser) {
    responseWithUser.oUser;
  }
}

Of course, it is still a bit awkward, since the oUser could be saved in the controller's scope and could be accessed directly from there in $scope.onUserSaved.
UPDATE. I will clarify my answer. You can chain promises in any scope, anywhere. Here's another example with token being injected by service:
myModule.factory('Service', function($http) {
   return new function() {
      this.getData = function() {
        return $http.get(url).then(function(response) {
          response.token = myToken;
          return response;
        }
      }
   }
});

You could even extend or wrap $http service and inject tokens on responses without your services knowing about it.
If you do this with all your requests, maybe a $httpInterceptor would be more appropriate. Read more about intercepting http calls here
Original answer
Since $http provides you with promise, you can chain it to another promise which would inject token in response:
myModule.factory('Service', function($http) {
   return new function() {
      this.getData = function() {
        return $http.get(url);
      }
   }
});

//in controller or other service:
var myToken;
var tokenizedPromise = Service.getData().then(function(response) {
  response.token = myToken;
  return response;
});

The final consumer of the promise has access to the token as well

In the Alphabet company's most expansive product announcement to date, Nest Labs recently unveiled a new line of home security technology designed to further entrench their footing in the connected home. The products include the Nest Secure alarm system, a plug-and-play wireless security system tailored for homeowner or certified Nest Pro installation. A $499 starter package for Nest Secure includes the Nest Guard security base, two Nest Detect motion and open/close sensors, and two Nest Tag key fobs that can be used to arm or disarm the system. Among the competitors for Nest Secure is the popular SimpliSafe wireless security system, which can be purchased in a similar starter pack beginning at $229.
Nest will also offer a 24×7 monitoring service for Nest Secure by partnering with MONI, a security systems company that also offers its own competing products. Details on the planned service and its costing have not been announced.
Also on the announcement docket was the Nest Hello video doorbell, a competitor to the class-leading video doorbells from Ring, another California-based company. The Nest variation on the video doorbell genre includes an embedded Nest cam, and can detect the presence of a person and send an alert even if the person does not ring the doorbell. Of course, for those visitors who do tap the doorbell button, an HD Talk and Listen feature enables two-way conversations. Nest Hello is expected to launch in the U.S. and Canada in the first quarter of 2018, with Europe following later in the year. Pricing has not been announced.
Lastly, Nest revealed the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor, a new security camera combining many of the features of the original Nest Cam Outdoor and the recently-launched Nest Cam IQ Indoor. Addressing a potential issue with the exposed power cable on the Nest Cam Outdoor, Nest Cam IQ Outdoor is designed to be much more tamper-resistant while maintaining the weatherproof nature of its predecessor. Equipped with a higher-resolution video sensor and special onboard software, Nest Cam IQ Outdoor is designed with facial recognition smarts and can detect a person up to 50 feet away. Through the Nest app, the camera and can deliver Nest Person alerts as well as familiar face alerts when used in conjunction with the subscription-based Nest Aware service. Nest Cam IQ Outdoor will be priced at $349 when it launches in November. The product will be available in U.S., Canada, and selected Nest European markets at launch.
More than ever, the Nest app is becoming the center of the emerging Alphabet, Google, and Nest smart home. All of these new Nest products will integrate with the Nest app for installation, maintenance, and operation—and many can be connected to third-party products through the Works with Nest program. For example, a previously-announced integration program with smart door lock provider Yale—a collaboration that will lead to the first Nest + Yale Linus smart lock launch in early 2018—will spearhead a high level of connectivity across multiple products that will manifest itself through the Nest app and related alerts. Homeowners will be able to automatically disarm the Nest Secure alarm system as they open the Yale lock with the Nest smartphone app or the lock's touchpad, and they will also be able to remotely open the Yale lock when, say, a known person or a package delivery agent is visible through the camera of the Nest Hello video doorbell.
Nest also announced integration with the Google Assistant digital assistant for its existing Nest Cam IQ Indoor, making it the first security camera with the Google Assistant built in. The new capabilities will be delivered via a software update in Winter 2017-2018, and effectively give the Nest Cam Indoor many of the voice-activated features of the Google Home voice-activated speaker, including the ability to respond to spoken commands and questions, as well as to control other smart-home accessories.


This is not the morbid place you might expect it to be. The word "Cemetery" has a long history. To the ancient Greeks it meant "sleeping place" - a more modern definition states it to be "an area set apart for or containing graves, tombs or funeral urns, especially one that is not a churchyard" As far as we are concerned, this is a place to come to when you wish to remember friends as they were. Somewhere you can reminisce about all the good times, and even some of the not so good ones, but above all, it's somewhere you can come and maybe, just for a while, you can sit and enjoy the company of departed friends. Considering the risks some of us take due to being motorcyclists, it's quite surprising that this cemetery wasn't created long ago, and in a twist of fate, it wasn't a motorcycling accident that bought about its creation. Sadly, someone had to be the first one in here, and that honour goes to Bucka.
Up to now, a further four Moonshiners are no longer with us.
They have not been forgotten, it's just that I've been asked not to put their names on here.


Velomobiles and products for sale across the web.
AVENTYbike is an innovative, hybrid vehicle – combination of a bike and a car. Kamil Różański is creating the electric bike, which design is based on sports cars.
It all started because of loving fast cars and original bikes. For the creator of AVENTYbike there is no better combination. The unique design and construction make the velomobile different from any other vehicle. Although there is nothing even similar to this bike, the organizers of Motorshow Poznań allowed AVENTYbike to be shown in 2016 on their event. The project has their support. The premiere of the bike should take place in March 2016.
It is worth mentioning that similar kinds of bodies for such vehicles have been produced in Poland, however it was only foreign companies to order them. AVENTYbike is 100% Polish project, and has support mainly from Polish producers.
At this stage the body is being finished, and, as soon as the bike is lacquered, it will be put on its wheels. However, this may not be possible without the support of sponsors, which number is still deficient. Patronage and sponsoring will allow the author to finish the prototype and start the mass production.
Here is a really cool infographic from Icebike.org. Click on over there to see some really nice information about velomobiles. Nice article!
O.K. Now this is what I've been waiting for. Lets see if we can get something closer to this mass produced.
Don't know what to make of this, but at least the velomobile is showing some signs of inspiring people to think differently. What do you think?
I will make this section available to people looking to sell their used velomobiles. Just leave a comment with your contact information and any info you would like. That way anyone who wants to sell their velomobile can do so without adding many extra posts that may get lost. Remember this is an independent classifieds section and VelomobileNews takes no responsibility for the content herein.


Being from Wales myself, I can safely say that we are eclectic people, and these alternative options for accommodation back up that claim well!
I've compiled some of the most bizarre places to stay in Wales including in a crash landed 9 passenger jet, in a 13th century castle or suspended from the edge of a cliff. To keep in with the stereotype, there's also a shepherds hut for good measure.
The Boatel near Machynlleth is literally a bed in a boat. Winner of shed of the year 2013 this boat is yours for £45 per night. There is a double bed in the boat area and a separate open plan kitchen and living area with views of Cader Idris.
A rival for the most unusual place to stay in Wales, the Jetstar is a first class plane from the seventies converted into accommodation for four guests. It retains a most of the original features including a lit up bar area and the cockpit is fitted with a Bluetooth stereo and an xbox with some flight games, yours from £125 per night.
Not one for the faint-hearted, this cliff camping experience in Anglesey will really get the adrenaline running. You'll camp on a portaledge suspended from the edge of a cliff, but no need to fear as you'll be accompanied by professionals and safely attached at all times. We'll leave the toilet situation to your imagination.
The woodland roundhouse near the North Wales coast is about 10 miles from Snowdon and just 1 mile from the beach. It looks like an old hobbit/fairy dwelling made from all natural materials, a truly unique place to stay. Nestled away in the woodland and with no mains electricity this place truly is the place to get off grid. This will sleep four guests from £75 per night.
Hidden away in the Brecon Beacons, The Starhouse is a glass roofed cabin perfect for observing the starry nights. This one is best for those who love nature as it's located in the woods of the black mountains. Your host will even carry your luggage across the fields to get there (albeit in a wheelbarrow)!
Feel like a royal with a stay in a room of 13th century Upton Castle. Stroll around the listed gardens and woodlands stretching down to the Cleddau estuary. The castle is within easy reach of the historic towns of Tenby and Pembroke and only 7 miles from renowned beaches. Each room sleeps 2 people from £90 per night – not bad for a castle.
Located on a camp site in Swansea, this original shepherds hut is simple but cosy and will fit 2 guests for £46 per night. It comes with a log burner to keep snug and is just a 10 minute drive from fantastic beaches and cliff tops.
Although not on airbnb, when I spotted this 19th century windmill near Usk, Monmouthshire available to rent, I knew it had to be included. The windmill has been restored after suffering fire damage and is now available to rent as a luxury retreat. The five story property will sleep 12 people and is sure to make your instagram followers jealous. Although it does come with a hefty £1495 price tag.
Have you found any more bizarre or unusual places to stay in Wales? Let me know in the comments below, I'd love to add them!
Thanks – yes Wales may be stunning but definitely some bizarre spots too!

The correlation between silicosis and lung cancer - pathological evidences from 5 autopsied cases.
Yu-T;
Proceedings of the VIIth International Pneumoconioses Conference, August 23-26, 1988, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Atlanta, GA: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 90-108, 1990 Nov; (Part II):1563-1572
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/90-108/
This paper reports certain pathological correlations between silicosis and lung cancer based on pathological materials from worker with silicosis caused by railway tunnel building in China. Five cases were reviewed. The first involved a 53 year old man who was a tunnel builder for 9 years. He had massive silicotic fibrotic lesions in both upper lobes of the lungs. The second case, a 58 year old man who had been building tunnels for 34 years, with a history of smoking, had a massive silicotic fibrotic lesion associated with tuberculosis in the right upper lobe. The third case involved a 58 year old man who had been a tunnel builder for 8 years with a history of smoking who demonstrated generally distributed silicotic nodules throughout the whole lungs, and whose nodules in the left upper lobe showed a tendency to coalesce. The fourth case was a 60 year old male who was a railway builder for 38 years and smoked. Silicotic nodules were present in both upper, middle and lower lobes and there was a massive silicotic fibrotic lesion in the middle lobe of the right lung. The fifth case was a 58 year old man, a tunnel builder for 6 years, who smoked. There was a black and white interlacing region in the upper lobe of the left lung and all lobes of both lungs had scattered silicotic nodules. In these cases the development of cancer had some correlation with preexisting silicosis. The cancer in two cases developed on the same lobe as the massive silicotic lesion had existed. In one case the cancer developed from multiple deformed bronchioles which remained in the subpleural silicotic collagenous region.

The market of cryptocurrencies is fast and wild. Nearly every day new cryptocurrencies emerge, old die, early adopters get wealthy and investors lose money. Every cryptocurrency comes with a promise, mostly a big story to turn the world around. Few survive the first months, and most are pumped and dumped by speculators and live on as zombie coins until the last bagholder loses hope ever to see a return on his investment.
In cryptocurrency networks, mining is a validation of transactions. For this effort, successful miners obtain new cryptocurrency as a reward. The reward decreases transaction fees by creating a complementary incentive to contribute to the processing power of the network. The rate of generating hashes, which validate any transaction, has been increased by the use of specialized machines such as FPGAs and ASICs running complex hashing algorithms like SHA-256 and Scrypt.[30] This arms race for cheaper-yet-efficient machines has been on since the day the first cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was introduced in 2009.[30] With more people venturing into the world of virtual currency, generating hashes for this validation has become far more complex over the years, with miners having to invest large sums of money on employing multiple high performance ASICs. Thus the value of the currency obtained for finding a hash often does not justify the amount of money spent on setting up the machines, the cooling facilities to overcome the enormous amount of heat they produce, and the electricity required to run them.[30][31]
Bitcoin is a digital asset designed to work in peer-to-peer transactions as a currency.[4][141] Bitcoins have three qualities useful in a currency, according to The Economist in January 2015: they are "hard to earn, limited in supply and easy to verify."[142] Per some researchers, as of 2015, bitcoin functions more as a payment system than as a currency.[36]
Network nodes can validate transactions, add them to their copy of the ledger, and then broadcast these ledger additions to other nodes. To achieve independent verification of the chain of ownership each network node stores its own copy of the blockchain.[80] About every 10 minutes, a new group of accepted transactions, called a block, is created, added to the blockchain, and quickly published to all nodes, without requiring central oversight. This allows bitcoin software to determine when a particular bitcoin was spent, which is needed to prevent double-spending. A conventional ledger records the transfers of actual bills or promissory notes that exist apart from it, but the blockchain is the only place that bitcoins can be said to exist in the form of unspent outputs of transactions.[7]:ch. 5
While it's still early days, Mist, MetaMask and a variety of other browsers look set to make blockchain-based applications accessible to more people than ever before. Even people without a technical background can now potentially build blockchain apps. This is a revolutionary leap for blockchain technology that could bring decentralized applications into the mainstream.
When it comes to other, less popular cryptocurrencies, the buying options aren't as diverse. However, there are still numerous exchanges where you can acquire various crypto-coins for flat currencies or Bitcoins. Face-to-face trading is also a popular way of acquiring coins. Buying options depend on particular cryptocurrencies, their popularity as well as your location.


When looking into addiction treatment programs, knowing the difference between inpatient vs outpatient rehab is important. The main difference for one is that patients in outpatient rehab remain living at home whereas inpatient rehabilitation patients live at the treatment facility. Each program focuses on rehabilitation and offers unique qualities and benefits to the patient. If you or someone you love struggles with addiction, begin the road to sobriety by learning more about inpatient vs outpatient rehab.
Inpatient rehab, also known as residential rehab, requires the patient to check themselves into a structured setting to overcome their alcohol and drug addiction. Patients remain at the center and receive 24-hour medical and emotional support. Inpatient rehab can be an effective treatment method for people with severe addiction and people who are simultaneously dealing with an addiction and mental health condition like bipolar disorder.
Living in the rehab center helps the patient avoid the influences and temptations in their daily lives that may trigger substance use. During inpatient rehab, the patient's day is carefully scheduled out for them. Counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists meet in both group and individual settings to help guide the patient in their recovery.
The first step in recovery in inpatient rehab is most often a medically supervised detox. During this phase of rehab treatment addiction, specialists and physicians monitor patients' vital signs while the substances leave the system. It is common for the patient to experience cravings at this time that can be difficult to overcome. In some cases, these cravings lead to relapse. Medical professionals at the rehab center can provide the patient with the needed medical expertise and medication to lessen the withdrawals and cravings.
Detox should not happen without medical supervision. Withdrawals can be fatal. Substances linked to fatal withdrawals include alcohol, benzodiazepines, synthetic opiates, and heroin.
Family involvement is a crucial part of the recovery in successful inpatient rehabs. Family members are encouraged to contact their loved ones during their stay in a treatment facility to provide them with the emotional support they need.
It is important to learn how and how often residents can communicate with their loved ones while in a rehab facility as each facility has their own policy. Counseling is also available for family members as well in many rehab centers.
Outpatient rehab involves daily treatment. This includes counseling, therapy, or group sessions at a rehab facility or clinic. People who choose treatment as an outpatient can remain living at home while they recover, allowing them to stay in school or at their job, and letting them take care of family members or children. The cost of outpatient rehab is typically less than inpatient rehab. However, the level of support the patient receives may be less intensive.
Most outpatient rehab treatment programs involve group or individual counseling and use a step-down approach. This means as you grow during treatment, the sessions become less frequent and intensive. Outpatient recovery programs generally take 10 to 12 hours per week or more when starting and can last three to six months or more. This treatment method is best for those with a mild addiction.
Many outpatient rehab patients with mild-to-moderate drug withdrawal symptoms begin their treatment with outpatient detoxification. The process of outpatient detox is safe and effective.
During outpatient detox, patients are required to visit a treatment facility or hospital for physical and mental check-ups. Doctors or clinicians might order medications to lessen withdrawal symptoms like increased heart rate, depression, and anxiety.
Recovering addicts also attend outpatient rehab programs as a way of continuing recovery after completing an inpatient program.
Costs of inpatient rehab programs are typically more than outpatient rehab programs. Treatment costs are increased with the on-hand psychotherapy and medical care available to patients. However, when considering inpatient vs outpatient rehab, the difference in cost should not be a factor in choosing the best treatment course available to them.
The patient remains in the facility.
24-hour emotional and medical support.
No distractions or triggers from everyday life.
Created for more serious addictions.
Last from 28 days to six months or more.
The patient remains at home and can continue the normal schedule. Must go to the treatment center during day or evening.
The patient continues daily routine as a job or school.
Easy to get to their social support circle.
Lasts from three months to more than a year.
Best for someone with a mild addiction.
Requires 10 to 12 hours per week.
Addiction is an illness and recovery require a lifetime commitment. Regardless of which treatment option you decide on – inpatient vs outpatient – recovery is possible for you or your loved one. Take that first step today and contact an addiction specialist to learn more about inpatient vs outpatient rehab.


Anyone who is starting to build their own home studio knows that an audio interface is a must when running different midi or vocal channels. A good quality audio interface can make a huge difference in your sound by sending the track through the appropriate channel, giving your instrument it's own stand-out quality on your track.
After purchasing two mid-level audio interfaces (Apogee Qurtet ) I decided I would trade 4 inputs for just 2 if it meant I could have easy-to-use equipment and software that nearly guaranteed the highest quality. I decided to purchase the "Apple-equivalent" company and splurged for the Apogee. When I say Apple-equivalent I mean the following: 1. simple & intuitive interface, software, and manual. 2. high-quality 3. sleek design.
I'm using a i7 Mac desktop running LogicPro X . I plugged in the Apogee Duet and Logic recognized the Duet immediately. I spent the next 10 minutes figuring out the correct/desired settings within the Apogee Software using the help of other users after Googling "Apogee and Logic" etc. Within 20 minutes of opening the Apogee Box I was up and recording in stereo with ease. This is a perfect out of the box audio interface to set up for home studio beginners trying to get their music taken seriously by those in the industry.

Several technologies enable 3D visualization to take place in a web page, but none offer the same level of capabilities as VTK. So, how do you bring decades of C++ development to the ever-changing web? Through two libraries, which can work together or independently to help you achieve your goals: vtkWeb and vtk.js.
vtkWeb drives the C++ implementation of VTK through a web server via its Python wrapping. As a full package, it can leverage the complete input/output, data processing, and rendering capabilities of VTK.
Based on its infrastructure, vtkWeb allows a front-end client and a server to communicate. In particular, it enables method calls (RPCs) and publish/subscribe types of communication. On top of the generic communication infrastructure, vtkWeb provides protocol for vtkRenderWindow synchronization. As a result, interactions reflect both in the web page and on the server where the data lives.
ParaView Visualizer is a version of ParaView Qt for the web browser. Since ParaView works with large data, ParaView Visualizer lends itself to remote processing, which permits either remote or local rendering (depending on the data size).
Better documentation and additional examples of how to leverage the vtkWeb infrastructure will be priorities of future development. Another priority will be to create Docker or container images to expedite the deployment of vtkWeb's infrastructure in a cloud environment.
ParaView Glance illustrates vtk.js for visualizing data. It provides a clean user interface for controlling what gets rendered for a wide variety of datasets. You can consider it as a best-practice example for using vtk.js.
vtkWeb and vtk.js are tools for building visualization applications. To make the best design decision, it is important that you carefully understand all parameters. Considerations include the data size, the network capability, the number of concurrent users, the type of rendering, the devices on which the application will run, and the types of computation needed. To help you build your application, Kitware offers consulting and development services.
VTK includes built-in support for developing VR applications. The support works with HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and various Windows Mixed Reality headsets. It leverages the OpenVR standard, so it is easy to use, if you are familiar with VTK.
To start using VTK in VR, first download and install the OpenVR SDK. Also check that you are set up to use a recent version of VTK, as older versions may not work with current device drivers. Once you configure VTK and turn on the modules you desire, you can begin the build process. To maximize performance, try building an optimized version of the software platform.
As for existing applications, most can leverage VTK's VR support with minimal changes to their codebase. Just link your executable to the vtkRenderingOpenVR module, and change four classes (renderWindow, renderer, interactor, and camera) to specifically create them as OpenVR. All other classes, such as actors and mappers, can remain unchanged.
Two classes, vtkOpenVRRenderWindow and vtkOpenVRRenderWindowInteractor, deserve some additional comments.
The vtkOpenVRRenderWindow class handles the bulk of the interaction with OpenVR. It currently supports one renderer that covers the entire window. It also holds the transformation from physical space (e.g., a room) to world coordinates for your visualization. Four methods perform the mapping: SetPhysicalScale, SetPhysicalTranslation, SetPhysicalViewUp, and SetPhysicalViewDirection.
Physical space is measured in meters, and the origin is located on the floor in the middle of the room. If the world coordinates are measured in light years, for example, you can use PhysicalScale to scale them down to a suitable size for the room. The convenience method ResetCamera() on vtkOpenVRRenderer is responsible for computing a reasonable value for PhysicalScale and PhysicalTranslation.
While VTK is designed to pick and interact based on X,Y mouse/window coordinates, OpenVR provides six-degrees-of-freedom events that contain X,Y,Z world coordinates and W,X,Y,Z orientations. The vtkOpenVRRenderWindowInteractor class handles these VR controller events and forwards them to the widgets in VTK.
VTK's support for VR is employed by applications such as ParaView. ParaView is Kitware's scientific visualization application. It has an OpenVR plugin that allows you to send a visualization to VR for immersive viewing. For Windows, ParaView binaries come with the plugin prebuilt.
3D Slicer is another application that employs VTK's support for VR. 3D Slicer visualizes medical datasets for training and surgical planning. It can simulate bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, visualize anatomy, and help doctors prepare for biopsies.
As VR hardware and software continue to change, Kitware is happy to help you leverage VR in new application domains through support, custom development, unique capabilities, and future research programs. For more information, please contact Kitware.
