The Jungle Cat Roars

Taking the all-new Jaguar F-Pace for a test drive
A few years ago, if you told car enthusiasts that Jaguar was going to build an SUV you would have gotten cries of disbelief or even mild laughter. But luxury carmakers like BMW, Audi and Porsche have gone down that path and introduced Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) of their own; it was only a matter of time before Jaguar followed suit.
So, it was no surprise when Jaguar recently introduced its all-new Cat, the F-Pace, although Jaguar prefers to call it a "performance crossover" vehicle rather than an ordinary SUV. According to Jaguar, the F-Pace was designed and built to be not only a functional daily driver, but also tough enough to venture off road on the weekends. And since the new car is of Land Rover parentage (Jaguar and Land Rover are owned by the same company) it helps give it some real off-road cred, making the F-Pace surprisingly awesome for hitting the dirt and mud.

If you're like most buyers you'll probably end up with the efficient, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine (like the one I tested) that produces a respectable 180 horsepower with torque to spare. Jaguar's diesel, part of the company's Ingenium family of engines is economical, reliable and robust. Years back, you could always tell that you were driving a diesel from its somewhat rough sound and excess vibration. Thankfully, those days are past and you'll find this diesel sounds and performs more like a petrol engine rather than a 4-cylinder oil burner. The eight-speed automatic is an excellent match to the 2.0-liter's low-end muscle, making this SUV more responsive and nimble. As would be expected, the F-Pace is also available with turbo charged V6 and V8 petrol engines.
Thanks to Jaguar's famous heritage of sports cars and sport sedans, the F-Pace is fun to drive, really fun. In many ways the F-Pace drives as if it is a performance car instead of a SUV crossover. The turbo charged diesel has plenty of "oomph" to make passing a breeze. And thanks to its computerized traction and suspension it manages to feel both light and stiff. The F-Pace's unibody is made from lightweight aluminum, which is nearly twice as light as a similarly steel framed vehicle. One owner with whom I spoke said the F-Pace has changed his driving habits for good. "The F-Pace drives more like a luxury sports car than an SUV," explained Carsten Ovesen. Ovesen also really likes the "lines" of the vehicle, and that's impressive because he is a well-respected, international furniture designer. "It's just a great design," he explained.
While the F Pace is a four-wheel drive vehicle it manages to shift traction between the front and rear tires. Under normal street conditions, all the power is directed toward the rear wheels, adding to the F-Pace's sports-car-like driving feel. The four wheel-drive system switches on when difficult terrain is encountered, and it distributes power as required between the front and rear tires. Standard in all F-Pace models is "Torque Vectoring," which regulates tire rotation through corners and makes the elegant Felis catus feel even more stable. You can select between four different driving modes to change ride stiffness and engine tuning. The "sport" setting will knock your socks off with its hyper engine and gearbox performance!
While the F-Pace doesn't look like a looming SUV it does manage to seat five people comfortably in an abundance of space. If you're tall you'll notice that the F-Pace doesn't have a high ceiling and that's because of the car's sloping, aerodynamic roofline. The Jaguar F-Pace's interior is elegant and subdued, a bit on the minimalistic side. Even so, some might find the aesthetics a bit plain, especially for a luxury vehicle. And on the base model there seems to be a lot of plastic. Still, it's a very comfortable, well laid out interior and has all the bells and whistles you'd expect in a luxury vehicle. Fit and finish on this SUV is impeccable.
The F-Pace holds over a cubic meter of stuff in the cargo bay. Rear seats easily fold down to effective doubling the storage capacity. It is one of the largest cargo holds in the luxury compact SUV class. A power liftgate is standard in the F-Pace making popping the hatch easy.
On the vehicle I tested the F-Pace came with an 8-inch touch-screen display. Navigation, GPS controls were easy to operate and worked well in Singapore. One of the best things about the car was its sound system, which was utterly fantastic. Whether it was Bluetooth or FM radio the sound quality was astonishing. To achieve the incredible sound, Jaguar formed a partnership with specialist audio manufacture Meridian. On the base model 11 speakers are standard. Another cool feature was the disc shaped gear select knob, located in the center console. When the vehicle starts the knob rises from the console and is automatically retracted when the car is shut down.
The F-Pace comes with one feature I found really useful. It's a waterproof, shockproof, and battery-free silicone bracelet that looks like a Fitbit. If you're going for a run, a swim or other activities that make it awkward taking your keys along, you can just leave your keys in the F-Pace, and lock the SUV with the bracelet. This disables your car keys until you return and tap the "J" on the rear hatch with the bracelet and the car opens. Even if someone were to break in and find your keys, they won't work. Only the Fitbit lookalike can open and activate the car.
Standard on all F-Pace models is the Intelligent Speed Limiter, a warning system that is especially convenient when you want to ensure you're not speeding.
Other advanced driver safety systems are available as options like blind spot monitoring, pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go traffic assist and driver drowsiness monitoring.
Aside from small noise from the gearbox at times, the Jaguar F-Pace is without a doubt one of the best luxury compact SUVs on the market today. It more than keeps pace with its close competitor, the Porsche Macan, and in some ways, the F-Pace is the better choice. The F-Pace has more space and gives incredible sports-car-like performance, all for less money. Jaguar has seemingly done the impossible by blending both Sport and Utility into one elegant package. The new Jag has been so successful that there's a 9-month waiting time for delivery in Europe. Singapore's agent for Jaguar, Wearnes Automotive, reports that the car has been selling well, too, and that they have enough stock on hand for the moment. The F-Pace starts at S$262,000 for the basic model with a 2.0-liter turbo charged diesel.


More needs to be done to protect elderly people from the effects of heatwaves, according to new research.
The risk is real; the heatwave that hit Western Europe in the summer of 2003 is thought to have led to the premature deaths of some 35,000 people in Europe, including nearly 2000 in England and Wales, where temperatures were lower than on the continent.
Climate change is expected to make these extreme periods of hot, dry weather more common over the coming century. And the elderly are the fastest-growing part of the British population, so as time passes there will be more people who are vulnerable to heatwaves.
The government launched a Heatwave Plan in 2004, including an initiative to identify those at most risk and provide them with advice. The elderly and those with chronic or severe illnesses are among the most vulnerable; in southern England during the 2003 heatwave, 33 per cent more over-75s died than would be expected under normal conditions, compared to 13.5 per cent among under-75s.
A leaflet on dealing with heatwaves is available as part of the heatwave plan, but until this new study from researchers at University College London (UCL), the University of East Anglia and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine it wasn't known how well the message had got across to the elderly.
Researchers interviewed 73 people aged 75 and over, as well as a few of their carers. They found that although most interviewees had sensible ideas about how to deal with the threat of overheating and appreciated the theoretical risks to older people, few thought they personally were at risk.
In many cases this was because they didn't think of themselves as elderly or vulnerable, or because they felt that experience of hot weather in the past showed they could deal with the risks. Some interviewees didn't even consider themselves to be old, pointing out that age is a relative concept.
Part of the problem may be that there has been no heatwave since 2003, so the experience is not fresh in peoples' minds.
The challenge, then, is how to get the message across most effectively. "Research suggests that just giving out information on its own isn't enough," says Vanessa Abrahamson, a research assistant in the department of epidemiology and public health at UCL and one of the paper's authors.
"Our study suggests that if the Department of Health just targets information at those who are at the most risk, it won't do much good if these people don't see themselves as being at risk, as they are unlikely to think the advice applies to them," she adds.
She explains that the research suggests that awareness-raising campaigns should be targeted at the general population, and not just at groups perceived to be vulnerable; people in these groups may not pay much attention if they don't think of themselves as vulnerable. Reaching neighbours, friends and those who care for elderly people may be just as important.
Another insight from the research was that using innovative communication channels might be more helpful than relying on leaflets, which are often ignored. Suggestions included storylines about the risks of hot weather in soap operas, or covering the subject on late-night talk radio stations.
If leaflets are used, they should be eye-catching and use large type. And the elderly may be more likely to take advice if it is presented positively, as a way to retain their independence, rather than emphasising their vulnerability.
She also notes that a possible flaw in the study was the method of recruiting older people: GP lists were used, but the GP was asked to screen out anyone they thought inappropriate to contact. Therefore 'those who replied are likely to have been among the more robust ones,' Abrahamson notes; this means the study may have missed interviewing the most vulnerable people.
The researchers are now writing up the second phase of the study which involved interviewing health and social care professionals as well as volunteer workers to ascertain their views about monitoring vulnerable adults during a heatwave.
The researchers are particularly interested in how professionals define and identify vulnerable individuals, how the Department of Health's recommendations are interpreted at a local level, and whether there are barriers to their implementation .
"It's true that over-75s are the most vulnerable, but this is a huge group," says Abrahamson. "There is a lot of variation within it; some may have live-in care, for example, so even if they are quite frail they may actually be at less risk in a heatwave than someone who is more capable of living independently but who has no regular support." The results of this research will be available in the spring.
The paper appears in the Journal of Public Health, and was funded by the Medical Research Council and by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Natural Environment Research Council.

LEXUS Australia has confirmed that the first production hybrid IS sedan will make it to Australian shores when the range arrives here in the third quarter of this year.
The new IS300h variant, revealed at the Detroit motor show overnight, packs a petrol-electric drivetrain with target fuel consumption of less than 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of less than 100 grams per kilometre.
It is based around a 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder petrol engine with direct injection that combines with an electric motor to send total system output of 162kW to the rear wheels via a planetary gear set to provide a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
According to overseas reports, the hybrid drivetrain is shared with the Japanese market Toyota Crown sedan, in which the petrol engine produces 220Nm of torque and the electric motor 299Nm.
For comparison, the most efficient BMW 3 Series sold in Australia, the turbo-diesel 318d sedan, consumes 4.5L/100km with engine outputs of 105kW and 320Nm, while the most frugal Audi A4 uses 4.8L/100km and produces 130kW and 380Nm.
Outputs of the 2.5-litre IS250 and 3.5-litre IS350 variants remain at 154kW/253Nm and 233kW/378Nm respectively.
More technical firsts for the new IS range include an eight-speed automatic transmission for the IS350 (previously exclusive to the high-performance V8 IS F), adaptive suspension damping and a pyrotechnic pop-up bonnet that improves pedestrian safety.
Electro-static switches that enable the climate-control system to be adjusted with the swipe of a finger are a Lexus first and the new IS will also become the first Lexus sold in Australia to be offered with a safety-enhancing lane departure warning system.
Fun and engaging driving dynamics are promised, especially from the F Sport variants that now feature greater cosmetic differentiation, with handling having been track-tuned at Fuji speedway in Japan and the Nurburgring in Germany.
In addition to increased body rigidity through the use of new laser screw welding and bonding techniques, a revised double-wishbone front suspension arrangement is said to provide 20 per cent more roll rigidity, while the rear multi-link suspension set-up is adapted from the larger GS model.
The GS also lends its electric power steering system, while the IS350 F Sport additionally picks up specially tuned, variable-ratio steering. Lexus has also increased the rigidity of the steering box to "create a lighter, smoother, more accurate steering feel".
For the first time, adaptive damping will be available on the IS and standard on F Sport models, and enables a new Sport S+ setting on the Drive Mode Select controller for sharpened handling to go with the heightened response to driver inputs of the sportier models.
Naturally, F Sport models receive their own suspension calibration, a more aggressive take on the Lexus 'spindle grille' frontal styling to go with the body kit, and sporty interior accents including special extra-supportive seats and a digital instrument display inspired by the LFA supercar.
With a 70mm-longer wheelbase, 10mm-greater width and a thinner seat design, the IS is claimed to provide class-leading rear seat space, with knee room increased by 85mm.
Luggage capacity is also increased, while the rear bench now has a 60/40 split-fold facility.
Much of the design of the new IS was previewed by the two-door LF-CC concept shown at the Paris motor show last year.
That coupe is also almost certain to make production – along with a follow-up to the IS C drop-top – providing Lexus with its first real competitor to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, Audi A5 and the new BMW 4 Series that also debuted at Detroit.
However, in response to a hint dropped last week on the global Lexus Facebook page in the run-up to the Detroit show, Lexus Australia PR manager Tyson Bowen described a possible comeback for the IS Sport Cross wagon as "a non-story" arising from a poorly worded post.
The Sport Cross formed part of the first-generation IS range in some countries between 2001 and 2005 as a quasi-wagon hatchback body variant.


Vienna International Airport is the gateway to one of the most elegant short break destinations in Europe: a city renowned for its history, architecture, culture, artistic heritage and fine cuisine. The Austrian capital is just 18km from the airport. This is the largest and busiest airport in Austria. The smart interior has been greatly enhanced by opening of the Austrian Star Alliance terminal in 2012. There are over 70 shops, and an excellent choice of bars and restaurants. There is free wi-fi access and a classy hotel opposite arrivals. Efficient public transport connects the airport with the city centre. Planned public transport improvements will reduce travel time to the city centre to just 16 minutes and connect Vienna Airport directly with Bratislava. The cheapest flights in recent years have usually been with low-cost airline EasyJet, with daily direct flights from London Gatwick. Finding affordable direct flights from airports outside London is more problematic.
S-Bahn train: The cheapest option. Line S7 connects the airport with Wien Mitte railway station, stopping at all stations between. Trains run approximately every 30 minutes from 04:30 to 23:45. Journey time to Wien Mitte is 35 minutes. Tickets are available from machines on the platform. Tickets cost €4.00 and include travel on Vienna public transport.
City Airport Train (CAT): The fastest option. 16 minutes to the City Air Terminal, a 10 minutes walk from Wien Mitte station and St. Stephan's Cathedral. Trains run approximately every 30 minutes from 05.30 to 23.30. CAT tickets can be bought in the arrivals hall and cost €12.00.
Buses: 3 bus routes connect with all the city underground lines as well as the main railway stations of Wien West and Wien Meidling. A 24 hour service connects the airport with Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz in Vienna city centre. The journey takes 20 minutes. Tickets cost from €8.00.
International buses: Long-distance coach services run from Vienna Airport to Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Destinations include Brno, Bratislava and Budapest.
Taxi: From outside the K3 exit near the arrivals hall.
Daily direct low-cost flights with EasyJet from London Gatwick (GTW).

For Reasons of State
Foreword by Arundhati Roy
An essential record of Chomsky's political and social thought as it was sharpened during the upheavals in domestic and international affairs of the early 1970s, For Reasons of State includes articles on the war in Vietnam and the "wider war" in Laos and Cambodia, an extensive dissection of the Pentagon Papers, reflections on the role of force in international affairs, essays on civil disobedience and the use of the university, and a now-classic introduction to anarchism. These essays reveal very different facets of Chomsky's power as a thinker, from his uncanny ability to join abstract philosophical considerations with the concrete political realities of his time, to his singular capacity to mount withering, fact-based critiques of American foreign policy. Following The New Press's reissue of American Power and the New Mandarins, For Reasons of State is a major addition to the intellectual history of the Vietnam era.
"Those who have waited eight years for Congress to do something about the bombing of Indochina must have a nagging suspicion that things may go on much as before. They will find little comfort in Chomsky's book."
"Here Chomsky displays those qualities which exemplify the finest traditions of intellectual responsibility and which have rightly earned for him the gratitude of those who have long regarded the Vietnam War as an abomination."

Grammy Award Winner Tori Kelly Releases New Single 'Coffee' & Album Today
By Mandy Slegers on August 9, 2019 in Artists, Music, New Albums, News
Tori Kelly's new album, "Inspired by True Events " on Capitol/School Boy Records, is out now and available everywhere.
"Inspired by True Events" marks a striking departure from the bright and breezy pop of her 2015 debut album, "Unbreakable Smile". Like her 2018 passion project "Hiding Place"– winner of the 2019 Grammy Award for Best Gospel Album, with hit single "Never Alone" named Best Gospel Performance/Song – "Inspired by True Events" keeps closely centered on her warm yet powerful vocal presence and extraordinary range. But this time around, Tori brings even greater depth to her songwriting, examining events that have shaken her world in recent years.
"At first I was worried about whether people would want to hear these kinds of stories from me, but then I got to the point where I didn't let that hold me back – I just had to write about what was really going on in my life," says Tori.
Jimmy Napes, who co-wrote and co-produced most of the album with Tori, helped her make that leap. The first song of their London sessions was lead single "Change Your Mind" …Tori's soulful response to learning that her parents disapproved of her engagement.
"As we were writing it, there was a line where I felt like I was getting too honest and personal. Jimmy just stopped me and said, 'If it feels uncomfortable, that's when you know you need to say it," Tori recalls.
"Sorry Would Go a Long Way" provides the most painfully charged moment on "Inspired by True Events". With its stark acoustic guitar work, the timeless ballad finds Tori's vocals turning heartbreakingly fragile as she assumes her mother's point-of-view at the time of her parents' separation. She co-wrote the track with British singer-songwriter Bruno Major, who also plays acoustic guitar on the track, and Napes. Tori wistfully recalls the simplicity of childhood on the luminous "Kid I Used to Know" and pays tribute to the wisdom of her late Jamaican-born grandfather on "Your Words."
"The first time I listened to the record all the way through, it felt like I was watching a movie of someone else's life," Tori notes. To augment that cinematic quality, she laced the album with interludes crafted from old home movies, including a clip of her father declaring his love for his then-two-day-old daughter.
Idolator predicted, "[Inspired by True Events is] destined to be one of the best albums of 2019" and hailed "Sorry Would Go A Long Way" as "intimate and heartfelt." Rolling Stone said, "'Change Your Mind' is acoustic and unhurried. Swelling pianos and massed backing vocals serve to push the song towards a climax." VIBE praised how the song "allows the musician's soaring vocals and delicate story to permeate."
A force of nature truly singular in today's pop world, Tori will soon head out on tour in support of "Inspired by True Events", as well as reprise her role as Meena in the forthcoming sequel to the 2016 animated movie "Sing".

Contrary to the name, Country Music Pride is not just about country—we're also about bluegrass, folk, alt-country and a fair amount of classic rock—but most of all, we're about love. We built this site because we love the music and wanted to provide an online music source for a genre that didn't quite have its Pitchfork Media or Nah Right equivalent. We seek to provide engaging, fresh content daily, ranging from news and features to album reviews to in-depth interviews with some of the top performers today, from Dan Tyminski to Dolly Parton.
This is a site for the fans. We believe an online music source is nothing if the fans can't participate, so we're always trying to find new avenues for our readers to get involved. We have crowd-participation open threads on hot country topics, plenty of fun promotional contests and we encourage written contributions by dedicated country fans.
So go Country Music Pride...because if you say you like "everything, but country," we'll know you're lying.

Evolution Of The Public Schools
Essay on Evolution Of The Public Schools
756 Words Jan 8th, 2016 4 Pages
Evolution in public schools Would you support one side of an argument when the majority of evidence points to the other? Teaching evolution versus Creationism in schools has been argued for decades. I believe that evolution should be taught in public schools. School systems make sure to not include religion in the classes and some argue that they shouldn't talk about evolution or the big bang theory either. Scott Frederick proves a very good point in The Ledger, "We shouldn't tip-toe around religion while we marginalize credible scientific evidence. It's intellectual dishonesty." Schools are afraid of others with different religions taking offence so they don't include anything at all, and they're doing the same with evolution. Science teachers have been refraining from teaching this topic, as it's not required, because they are afraid of discrediting a child's faith and having to hear from the parents. In an interview with Associated Press, John Glenn (the first American to orbit the Earth) states, "I don't see that I'm any less religious by the fact that I can appreciate the fact that science just records that we change with evolution and time, and that's a fact." ("John Glenn says evolution should be taught in schools" par. 3). John Glenn is a supporter of evolution and a Presbyterian. It shows that there are people on either side of this issue, and some are in the middle. The question people have to ask themselves is, does scientific evidence hold as much weight for…
Essay Evolution, Creation, And Public Schools
reason evolution should not be taught is public schools is because evolution conflicts with people's religious beliefs and not just Christianity. Evolution is not really a theory, it is more of a belief because it can't be tested either way and any scientific theory should be testable. Henry Morris is the father of Modern Creation Science, the former president and founder of the Institute of Creation Research or (ICR) stated in his article titled, Evolution, Creation, and the Public Schools.

Separation of Church and State: Creation and Evolution in Public Schools
Creation and Evolution in the Public Schools On October 28, 2010, Christine O'Donnell, the Delaware U.S. Senate Candidate, posed the question "Where in the Constitution is 'Separation of Church and State'?"

The term "separation of church and state" never appears in the Constitution. In many court cases relating…
Essay about Teaching Evolution in Public Schools
Many groups have tried to push their ideas on the public through schooling. Public school students, numbering in the millions, seem a perfect, captive audience for the promulgation of the ideas of a few self-righteous groups. These groups have tried to influence national thinking by promoting their views in the classroom, but this is not an acceptable method.

Evolution is the theory that different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth. In 1986 the supreme court mandated that evolution was to be taught in the public school system. It was also at this time that intelligent design was banned from being taught in public schools because it was determined that it was a violation of the 1st amendment because it would favor a certain religion (Lac, Hemovich, Himelfarb 2009). Intelligent design…
Essay Evolution Of Science And Religion
It's Time for our Schools to Evolve: Evolution in Education Science and religion often clash, especially in American education. One of the largest instances of this conflict is the debate whether to teach evolutionary theory in public schools. Evolution is a possible explanation to the origins and development of life on Earth; however, this explanation counters Christian Fundamentalists' beliefs of how man ended up on Earth. Americans with Christian beliefs, especially those located in the bible…

The theory of creationism should be taught in schools because, there is not a way to prove living creatures came from non-living substances, the body's biological systems are too complex to have evolved, and evolution is also a theory. Since the early 1900s, there has been debate over what should be taught in public schools, creationism or evolution (Munro 1). In the beginning, creationism was taught, but evolution was illegal; now evolution is being…

Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 Review
June 22, 2020 | Tim Coleman | Rating star Rating star Rating star Rating star Half rating star
of Use
Rating &
The Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 lens was launched alongside the 70-200mm f/2.8 PRO lens at the end of 2019.
Its focal range caters for a number of purposes and as the widest angle lens currently available in Panasonic's range, it appears to be the best proprietary option for landscape photographers and close-to-the-action scenarios. Its 35mm end also makes for a handy portrait lens where you would like to include some of the surrounding environment.
Wearing Panasonic's red 'PRO' label, the 16-35mm is a proper lens,built to withstand hard environments and promises to deliver Leica-approved image quality. It also packs features such as fast and silent autofocus and a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, so it should satisfy video users too.
Priced at £1499 / $1499, the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 lens is available now.
All of Panasonic's L-Mount lenses are built to a high standard, with minimal variance in design. When you've used one, you'll be right at home with the look, feel and function of the others. In fact, the exterior design of the 16-35mm PRO lens is essentially identical to the 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO lens.
You've got a solid metal lens barrel that is dust and splash resistant and can be used in temperatures down to a (claimed) -10°C. We've used the lens in mild UK weather during lockdown and it has been out in rain showers, where we had no concerns.
In balance with the Panasonic S1R camera that we used for this test, we have really appreciated the size and weight of the lens. It's 500g and measures almost exactly 100mm in length. Compared to 16-35mm F4 lenses from other brands, Panasonic's is the smallest and lightest.
Like most other ultra-wide angle F4 zoom lenses, the barrel is on the slightly fatter side and takes screw on lens filters via its 77mm thread. It extends and retracts a little as you go through the different focal lengths, but only up to an additional 10mm at the widest focal length.
There is not a single switch on the lens barrel. So, where you might expect a MF/ AF switch for focusing modes, there is in fact a lovely focus clutch. With the focusing ring at the front end of the lens, it's a breeze to pull the focus clutch back and switch between focus modes - you won't even need to take your eye away from the viewfinder.
In addition to checking the manual focus distances that are clearly marked on the focus clutch, the same information can be viewed on screen, with the focus distance appearing by default as you make changes. If you use the screen to check those distances, you also get an indication of the focus range of that distance in context of the particular aperture in use. All of Panasonic's S-series cameras offer focus peaking as an additional manual focus aid.
The minimum focus distance of 0.25m is what we would expect of a lens like this and is consistent throughout the entire zoom range. That means the maximum magnification of 0.23x is available at the 35mm focal length. This is not a lens designed with macro shots in mind.
Focus breathing (where composition changes when the focus range shifts) is suppressed, which is especially good news for those shooting video. We ran a check on this with the camera and lens mounted to a tripod, manually focusing the entire focus range. There is still focus breathing, but it is very well controlled.
Again, another switch you won't find on the barrel is for image stabilisation because the lens doesn't have it and instead relies on the camera's in-body-image stabilisation. That's no bad thing because Panasonic S1 cameras feature excellent stabilisation - in the case of this review up to 5.5-stops when used with the Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 lens.
Five key focal lengths are marked on the zoom ring and a rotation of around 100° is required to shift the lens between its wide and telephoto settings. You'll need a couple of goes to move all the way around.
The zoom ring is beautifully dampened, enabling smooth zooms. By default, the focal length is displayed on screen down to the nearest 1mm while any changes are made, so precise adjustments are a doddle.
Like the zoom ring, the focusing ring offers good resistance, making tiny focus changes possible and fast transitions smooth. Both ridged rings feel great in the hand and seem durable. Although on the small side, they are in good proportion for a lens of this size.
When used with the S1R for photography, the autofocus of the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 lens is wonderfully rapid, plus it's silent. AF speed is less of a concern for landscape photographers, but this lens would be a dream for closeup action photography.
It's perhaps for video where autofocusing impresses further. Video AF in Panasonic cameras is geared differently than for photography, prioritising smooth focus transitions over rapid ones. As such autofocus transitions are barely noticeable, being smooth as silk without dawdling. We didn't experience much focus hunting either.
We've mentioned it before in other L-Mount lens reviews, but the provided lens cap and lens hood lock on securely and are removed easily. Don't take this for granted with all lens brands. A soft protective case is supplied with the lens.
From solid build quality to easy handling (not least of which the manual focus clutch) and impressive focusing performance, the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 lens ticks all the boxes.
Focal Range
The 16-35mm focal length range gives an angle of view of 107° (wide) to 63° (tele) on a full frame sensor.
Chromatic Aberrations
We have had to push the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 lens to its absolute limit to find chromatic aberration (CA). But where there is a will there is a way! Unedited raw images included here have all lens corrections turned off to ensure any lens distortions are present.
To really push the lens we ventured into a forest during an overcast day, where we could ensure high-contrast detail in the branches of a tree against the sky. Using the widest 16mm focal length and maximum F4 aperture, we have found blue fringing mainly towards the corners of a picture. In the same forest scene, CA is reduced by closing the aperture to f/5.6 and pretty much gone by f/8. The same aberrations were present in the matching JPEG images.
There is also very good control over fringing in bokeh (out-of-focus) areas. Overall, the S 16-35mm F4 PRO lens has very good control over chromatic aberrations (CA). Any fringing we found was easily corrected in basic editing software such as Adobe Lightroom CC, though we would recommend RAW capture when pushing the lens to its limits.
Light Fall-off and Distortion
Light fall-off, also know as vignetting, is the difference in brightness between the centre and the edges an image. In our unedited RAW images with no lens correction applied, a little light fall off can be seen at the maximum F4 aperture.
At the 16mm focal length, light fall is pronounced and tucked more into the edges of the frame. At the 35mm focal length where the maximum aperture is also F4, light fall off is much more gradual and covers most of the entire frame. We estimate the light fall off to be around 0.5EV at F4. At both 16mm and 35mm, light fall is significantly reduced at f/5.6 and fully gone by f/8.
If shooting videos in the standard 16:9 aspect ratio, then light fall-off is virtually non-visible at 16mm at any aperture due to the crop of the aspect ratio. However, you'll see light fall off at 35mm F4.
Light fall-off can be corrected post capture for photos. Corrections to Panasonic lenses are applied automatically in software such as Adobe Lightroom CC with no dedicated profiles. You'll need to manually override the corrections if further changes are desired.
Wide angle lens typically demonstrate barrel distortion, which includes any focal length wider than 28mm. In this lens, barrel distortion can certainly be seen at the widest focal length of 16mm, it is significantly reduced at 20mm and cannot be seen at 24mm. As a wide angle lens, pincushion distortion is not an issue.
The supplied lens hood protects the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 somewhat from flare, although it's not that big a lens hood. Flare is very well controlled, although there are instances of ghosting, so you'll need to take care when shooting towards sunlight.
Like with almost any lens, sunstars look their best with the lens set closely to its minimum aperture, which here is f/16. At the minimum aperture of f/22, diffraction softens the overall image quality and therefore compromises the crisp detail ideal for sunstars.
Honestly, sunstars are OK, but we have seen better in other wide-angle zoom lenses (not L-Mount lenses, though). The centre is a little mushy and the rays do not extend very far.
Macro photography is not a reason to buy the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4 lens. The very same can be said for most like-for-like lenses. Here, we have a minimum focus distance of 0.25m and a maximum magnification of 0.23x at the telephoto end.
This uncropped image show how close you can get to a CF card.
Pleasing bokeh (describing the quality of out-of-focus areas) is not necessarily on the top of the want list for an ultra-wide angle F4 zoom lens. That said, with nine aperture blades and that maximum aperture of F4 available across the entire focal length range, we have been pleased by the bokeh quality from the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 16-35mm F4. For example, we shot some portraits at the 35mm focal length with F4 aperture, and there is a pleasant rounded bokeh, plus there's not too much warping of bokeh in the corners of a picture. You'll start to notice those aperture blades from f/8.

DescriptionCompositionDirections for use	Reviews
Caprylic Acid Supplement
Caprylic Acid is a supplement in vegetarian capsules with benefits for helping with chronic fungal infections. Also known as octanoic acid, Caprylic Acid is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid with 8 carbon atoms (C8:0). Naturally present in human breast milk, animal milks (cows, horses, goats) and certain vegetable oils (coconut and palm), it has been widely used in cosmetic applications and is now also recognized for its benefits as a nutritional supplement, available to buy at Supersmart.
What benefits are associated with Caprylic Acid?
Caprylic acid was discovered by French chemist Jules Buis in the 19th century, but it is only in the last 50 years or so that its benefits for treating chronic fungal infections have been recognized. It is widely used to stem the growth of intestinal saprophytic yeasts such as Candida albicans, the cause of frequent infections, particularly in women. The proliferation of this yeast-like fungus is known as candidiasis, a very persistent and treatment-resistant condition that negatively affects the host body.
Intestinal candidiasis generally produces a range of symptoms: indigestion, abdominal pain, irritable bowel, fatigue, headaches. It can also manifest in the skin, mouth (oral candidiasis) or the genitals (vaginal and vulvovaginal candidiasis). The best way to tackle candidiasis is to drastically reduce consumption of foods that promote yeast growth (all forms of sugar, fermented food and drinks, cheese) and take a supplement containing adequate levels of caprylic acid, between 450 and 1350mg a day, with meals.
Taking sodium caprylate (caprylic acid sodium salt) orally makes the yeast cell membranes dissolve, so preventing their survival, controlling their proliferation and simultaneously encouraging the growth of healthy intestinal flora. This medium-chain fatty acid is naturally fat-soluble and easily penetrates lipid-coated bacteria such as in streptococcal sore throat (strep throat), gastroenteritis-causing salmonella and Escherichia coli that can lead to food poisoning. Sodium caprylate is very well tolerated by the digestive system and side effects have been observed only rarely (nausea or heartburn that disappear quickly).
Buy Caprylic Acid capsules to help control intestinal saprophytic yeasts.
Daily dose: 3 capsules
Number of doses per pack: 30 Amount per dose
Caprylic acid (from 1710 mg sodium caprylate) 1 350 mg

Salivas are a group of flowering plants that are also referred to as sage. According to Clemson Cooperative Extension at Clemson University, the most commonly grown salvia is salvia splendens. It is a compact-growing salvia usually growing to between 1 and 2 feet tall. Salvia splendens is better known as scarlet sage since it commonly produces scarlet-red flowers, but it also comes in white, purple, orange, lavender and yellow.
Fill up planting packs with a seed-starting planting mix until the cells are filled to within 1/4 inch from the top of the rim.
Pack the soil down in each of the cells using the back of a metal spoon, or the blunt end of a pencil.
Set the planting packs into a shallow watering tray or similar container that can hold about 2 inches of water. Let the seed-starting mix soak up the water until they are well-moistened.
Place two to three salvia seeds into each of the cells in the planting packs. Push the salvia seeds into the surface of the seed-starting mix to ensure good soil-to-seed contact. Refrain from covering the salvia seeds with soil.
Put the tray containing the planting packs near a light-filled window, but avoid direct sunlight. Keep the temperature between 65 and 70 degrees F. Keep the soil in the planting packs moist, but never sodden wet. Add water to the tray when required. Germination of salvia seeds will begin in approximately 10 to 14 days at the above conditions.
Transplant the salvia seedlings when they are about 2 to 3 inches tall and after there is no more frost expected in your growing region.
Choose a suitable location for planting the salvia seedlings. In cooler coastal areas, choose a site where it will provide full sun. For climates that are known for being dry and arid, choose a location that will provide some afternoon shade.
Lay out a 1- to 2-inch layer of sphagnum peat moss, aged manure or dehydrated compost over the planting area. Work the organic matter into the soil using a garden fork or a shovel. The use of a soil amendment can help improve the soil and provide the salvia with soil that is fast-draining and fertile.
Dig planting holes for the salvia seedlings that are the same size as the cells in the planting packs. Each of the planting holes should be between 12 and 16 inches apart.
Pop out a salvia seedling from a cell in the planting pack. Use your thumb or index finger and push up from the base of the cell.
Place a salvia seedling into one of the previously dug planting holes. Hold the salvia seedling level in the planting hole while you scoop soil in and around the seedling to fill the hole full of soil.
Water each of the salvia seedlings with a starter solution fertilizer, such as 4-10-3. Follow the instruction on the product's label so you will know how much fertilizer to use per quart or gallon of water.
Start salvia seeds indoors about six to eight weeks before the last expected spring frost in your growing region. See the resource section for information on frost dates.

I' d like to write a book and have it published.
Where can I contact publishers for a book I am writing? You' re required to submit your novel to your agent or potential publisher. It' up to me to write books they want to read. It was with this realization that I began to publish my novel. You can argue how terrible writing in Fifty Shades of Grey or The Shack or Twilight is.
Seventeen Stages in Publishing a Christian Book
Not much of my writing mentorship because I have learnt a hurtful truth: the great majority of those who say they want to publish a work are not willing 1) to succumb to the disciplines of writing and 2) then go through a pathetic and time-consuming act of idleness (that is the codex for "waiting and maintaining and waiting") to get through it.
I am not a good example of your first publication by a great Chinese editor, because as a young writer with a few articles from the journal, I made a random remark about being a former Mormon about a writer I had just been with. I have a publishing house who would like to release a copy of your book," she said - and within a few month I had a deal with Zondervan.
However, now, even with nearly two dozens of publications, I am submitting to the trial, which may only have a few fewer footsteps than that of a whole plant. To those of you who wonder what you might reasonably be expecting (except God's intervention), here is an outline schedule for the trial of a non-fiction textbook presented by an operative.
First of all, I would like to say that this trial must be preceded by two things: They must have something singular and convincing and salable to say (and if for the Christmas spirit, the inner certainty that they were appointed to be writers), and they must be able to do well. If you have not met these two demands, please do not add yourself to the overwhelming pros of the notion.
Nowadays, since most of today's Christendom publishing houses do not take unasked scripts, and unless you see an executive in person who asks for your material at a meeting like Mount Hermon, I will begin the litigation with the purchase of an executive. Note that this is an approach to the processes that can be significantly extended or shortened by a variety of different elements.
Authors are looking for the spy with the filled out suggestion. When submitted to more than one analyst, the writer meticulously complies with each analyst's unique policies, which may contain factors such as number of words, line length and type of submissions, and states in the covering note that the analyst is tracking more than one analyst. It usually requires several weeks/months for the manager to reply to the suggestion.
A lot of suggestions that have not followed the rules, do not match the agent's profiles, are inconspicuous or poorly spelled are never seen by the agents. Agents communicate with the writer for further information, such as targeted marketers' schedules, and then optimize the suggestion. Sometimes an agency will not approach writers with single project assignments, but will rather reschedule meetings with writers at an events such as the ICRS (the ICRS (the traditional meeting of the Christendom books industry), where the agency maximizes the editors' times with single meetings, where the agency informs the publisher of the multiauthor project suitable for that publisher.
Therefore, a pitches can be idle several month before such a call. Usually at a convention or other personal gathering, an agency journalist tells the agency which idea is attractive and it wants to see a suggestion. When pitching by e-mail or telephone call, the journalist expressed his interest, sometimes for a while after the interview.
and the reviewer dispatches the suggestion to the reviewer. It may take a weeks or more for the agents to forward more than one project to more than one journalist, as the agents will return home and try to check e-mails and so on. In the event that the author wishes to follow up the suggestion he has been given, he will include it in a publisher comitee.
In some cases, a publishers has more than one panel to rate a work. Marketers do analysis, members of the editorial committees are reading all suggestions. Should the Publishers' Committee(s) decide to release the work, the Publisher will send a subscription to the Agents. Agents send the definitive publication agreement to the writer. Authors complete or rewrite the ledger in accordance with corporate policies.
There is a period specified in the agreement, and since many procedures (e.g. catalog directories) are dependent on this period, the writer must not miss the one. Frequently, first authors have to make comprehensive line modifications or corrections after submission of the text that the authors consider "final" manuscripts. This is also helped by the analysis and pre-processing by a publisher's expert.
Although I am a well-published writer, I use such pros to optimize my scripts before submitting them. Write/write can take weeks - or longer. The editorial staff approved the definitive design of the work. The writer may or may not be involved in such choices as coverage type, although an agency usually does insist on it.
The writer looks at theofs to see last-minute mistakes. As a rule, several month, sometimes much more than a year - until the volume is published in printing. Certain ledgers are not planned for publishing for years or more after the agreement has been initialized because the full publishing duty schedules. In some cases, the procedure has "additional" stages.
The Mormon Mirage, for example, since my first volume was disputed and I was relatively unfamiliar, the editor sent my suggestion (and then later the whole manuscript) to an authority on Mormonism to study. The analysis (completely separated from the process of selecting and editing) took several month to complete.

When One Person Serves, The Whole Family Serves
If you or a family member is in crisis or facing an emergency, do not use the Connect With Care email. Go to the nearest emergency room or call the Veterans Crisis Line at 1-800-273-TALK(8255).
Or click here to email us
Home Base is dedicated to healing the Invisible Wounds for Service Members, Veterans and their Families through clinical care, fitness and wellness-based programs, community outreach, education and research. Our goal is:
Develop an effective treatment plan that meets each individual's needs and improves the quality of his/her life
Help overcome or ease the effects of post-traumatic stress or traumatic brain injury
Help the Service Member or Veteran successfully return to family life, job, school, and community
Our clinicians are part of Massachusetts General Hospital. They are civilian caregivers, but they are experienced in caring for Veterans and Families. They understand the Military culture and the unique needs of Veterans and Military Families.
Home Base's clinical services are part of the Massachusetts General Hospital and affiliated with Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. For the past 16 years, Massachusetts General Hospital has ranked first in the nation in psychiatry by U.S. News & World Report. The hospital consistently ranks among the top 10 hospitals in the nation overall for patient care. Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, providing outstanding care for Veterans with traumatic brain injury, was ranked fifth nationwide by U.S. News & World Report in 2011, and is the only rehabilitation hospital in New England to make the list since 1995.
Removing Barriers to Care
Discharge status: Home Base serves Veterans regardless of discharge status
No insurance: Home Base accepts TriCare and other private and public insurance including MassHealth. By law we are required to bill health insurance, but if a Veteran or Family Member has no insurance or a gap in insurance coverage, they will not receive a bill for services provided in the Home Base Outpatient Clinic or Intensive Clinical Program.
Appointment Availability: The Veteran or Family Member's initial evaluation appointment is offered within 2 weeks.
Free Parking. Ample on-site parking is available at One Constitution Wharf, Suite 140, Charlestown, MA 02129.
In special circumstances, transportation to an appointment by a volunteer former Massachusetts State Trooper can be arranged.
Child care: At no cost, patients needing child care in order to attend appointments can reserve space in the MGH Employee Child Care for children Infant through 12 years of age
When one person serves, the entire family serves. Or as we often say at Home Base, "For every one Warrior, there are 10 worriers." Recognizing deployment and reintegration affect families across three generations, our clinical care is available to spouses and partners, dependent children, parents, siblings, and close friends of those who have served, even when that Veteran or Service Member is not in treatment him or herself.

Leaders can conceive and articulate goals that lift people out of their petty preoccupations and unite them in pursuit of objectives worthy of their best efforts.
To help you create an overarching sense of mission that could improve your work efficiency I've listed some of my mission statements and vision as examples. Because of my years of experience working with hundreds of procrastinators as well as high-level achievers, I've learned to quickly identify inner conflict, ambivalence, and the distractions that most frequently pull me off course. And I've trained myself to shift, in just a few breaths, to my executive brain ability to choose to focus on a high priority project and to recommit to my leadership vision.
Over the years, I've taught others how to rapidly shift from stress to safety and from anxiety about the future to what they can do now—using the symptom to trigger the solution. The fastest way to change negative patterns to productive, healthy habits is to use your awareness of negative habits to alert you to shift to corrective actions. You'll develop healthy habits more quickly when they follow from your values and mission statements. Listed here are examples you may wish to adapt to your unique situation and your unique personality.

Will smartphones eventually ship with nothing else in the box?
Credit: Ryan-Thomas Shaw / Android Authority
Opinion post by
Roger Fingas
Apple made headlines in October 2020 when it decided to drop power adapters not just from the iPhone 12 lineup, but from all iPhones going forward. Samsung has joined suit with flagships like the S21, ensuring that the decision will have a wide impact. Could it be that these policies will quickly become an industry standard, forcing every new smartphone owner to buy basic accessories on top of increasingly expensive hardware?
First, let's back up a bit and talk about motivations. During the iPhone 12 reveal Apple made a big deal about reduced environmental impact, which is undeniable. Electronics of any kind require minerals and plastics, which strips the Earth of finite resources, never mind the pollution generated by the supply chain. Fewer accessories allows for less packaging, which saves on resources like trees and makes shipping more environmentally efficient. This is offset to an extent by the extra material and supply chains needed for third-party accessories, but as long as people don't ramp up those purchases, the logic checks out.
The reality however is that Apple and Samsung aren't offering free adapters (or earbuds for that matter) to shoppers who need them. They're charging full price, and not even discounting their phones to compensate. It's obvious that profit margins are a major incentive for dropping bundled accessories, if not the primary motive.
Where are Apple and Samsung headed?

The decision to drop power adapters means the only thing included with Apple and Samsung phones at the moment is a connector cable. In the case of Apple, of course, it's a Lightning cable, limiting usefulness further. Apple has resisted pressure to switch iPhones over to USB-C — which is perhaps the strongest argument against its environmental position. Proprietary ports mean customers have to buy separate, proprietary accessories.
Glancing a few years down the road, the speculation is that Apple will remove ports entirely. It showed the "courage" to drop the 3.5mm headphone jack with 2016's iPhone 7, and has since made wireless charging standard, even if top-up times lag behind many Android devices. The Lightning port continues to serve several functions — CarPlay, accessories, faster charging, and iTunes sync — but it's easy to imagine a future in which Apple claims wireless is all anyone needs. It would allow the company to remove all bundled accessories, slash component costs, and clean up the iPhone's internal design space.
The best wall chargers: A buyer's guide
Samsung has been imitating Apple for well over a decade, so it probably won't be far behind if the iPhone does go portless. It's unlikely to jump in with both feet, however. Much of Samsung's mobile revenue comes from markets where people are inclined towards budget models and can't necessarily afford to load up on wireless accessories. Expect premium phones in the Note and Galaxy S lines to go first.
Even Apple will probably try some sort of stepped approach, at least keeping an older Lightning-equipped iPhone around while newer models make the leap. It could theoretically reserve portless tech for Pro phones, but it might be easier to encourage adoption if every new model is onboard.
What about the rest of the smartphone market?
Credit: Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority
Because of budget-conscious demographics, it's going to be difficult to sell the masses on phones without some bundled accessories, much less portless devices. The latter may require technologies like 5G and high-speed Qi charging to feel seamless — and those haven't become universal in Europe or North America, forget the rest of the world.
Cost savings and the influence of Apple and Samsung are hard to resist, so the long-term trend is towards dropping accessories.
Even if Apple and Samsung lead the way, it will probably be years before the rest of the industry follows, and a total transition isn't guaranteed. Bundles can be a competitive advantage, as evidenced by the OnePlus Nord 2, which bucks the trend to drop power adapters and other accessories by shipping not just with a USB-C cable and charger, but a case and screen protector. In France, it even comes with wired earbuds. Xiaomi doesn't include a charger in China, but it does offer one at no extra cost and bundles the accessory with global versions of the Mi 11.
Cost savings and the influence of Apple and Samsung are hard to resist, so the long-term trend is towards dropping accessories. It seems safe to say though that by the time they all vanish, it won't matter as much. Consumer reaction is going to slow the process, and hopefully wireless technologies will become better and more ubiquitous by the time the last cable is removed from a smartphone box.

New Salem man faces child porn charges
By DAVID McLELLAN
Published: 6/14/2019 11:03:42 PM
Modified: 6/14/2019 11:03:28 PM
SPRINGFIELD — A New Salem man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on multiple child pornography offenses.
Nicholas Conkey, 33, was charged Thursday in U.S. District Court in Springfield with two counts of distribution of child pornography, two counts of receiving child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
According to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office, "At various times in 2018 and 2019, Conkey is alleged to have sent and received child pornography by email."
Conkey allegedly was in possession of child pornography depicting children younger than 12 years old on Jan. 18, according to the statement.
If convicted, Conkey faces a mandatory prison sentence of five years — up to 20 years maximum — for each of the three charges. He would also face up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Conkey's case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Project Safe Childhood was started in May 2006 by the U.S. Department of Justice, and is led by the department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and U.S. attorneys, with federal, state and local resources used to "locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims."
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex J. Grant, of District of Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling's Springfield Branch Office.

Release branches do not have any active development and only bug fixes are typically applied to these branches after the release. A new release branch is created for each major release (2.x). All bug fixes should be developed against the master branch, and where it is decided to include such fixes in a minor release (2.1.x, 2.2.x, etc), it will be cherry-picked from the master branch and into the suitable release branches.
For details about the development process look here.
svn-branch/BETA21 -- This should be identical to James' former SVN BETA21 branch (former svn-BETA21). This branch is inactive.
svn-branch/2.1    -- This is a git copy of James' 2.1 SVN branch, where James does his main work.  This gets merged into master.
frp               -- Features which are going through the feature removal process (FRP).
experimental      -- The master branch merged with other experimental feature branches.  Only for test purpose and not development.
Developers being granted a feature branch must ensure that their branch is regularly rebased against the master branch. The same applies to maintainers of external development git trees who wants to see their work getting accepted too. The developers "owning" a feature branch is responsible for all development in that branch.
The branches gathered under obsolete/* are misc branches which is no longer in use. As some of them might have a historical value, they are just put aside. This may happen to branches which have been merged into master and are now developed on the master branch instead. Eventually they will be deleted when their historical purpose is no longer of any value.
The experimental branch is a collection of all feature branches in development and the master branch. This branch is regularly rebased against the master branch. This branch may also be completely rebuilt from time to time. Consider this branch as a view-and-test-only branch. No development must ever happen directly on the experimental branch.
Use the code in the experimental branch from this git tree if you want the "latest and greatest" features and you're willing to accept that the code is experimental and most likely unstable.
James Yonan used to host his own SVN repository at openvpn.net, but it was taken offline in late 2013 / early 2014 and replaced with James' own openvpn.git repo on GitHub?. Remnants of the SVN repo are available in openvpn-testing.git on SF.net.
Note that no new development happens in this tree.

I developed this chemical, pungent foot odor 3 years ago, and since then it has a very negative impact on my professional and social life. I have had surgery to reduces sweat, and already tried fucidine and erythromycine to minimize the bacteria but it's not helping. As for now I'm washing my feet several times a day with Hibiscrub (antibacterial) and putting Milk of Magnesia afterwards. It's no help though. The horrid smell is always there, it's a pungent, chemical like smell that is intense for me and my surrounding.
Any antibacterial meds one can suggest?


Hi all, couple of days ago I noticed there was a lot of vibration at idle when stopped, worse when car is cold and idle is at 1200rpm. Its noticeable at lights etc that somethings not right.
If you increase the revs to 1200, its worse, but above that it feels fine and dandy. Revving it up and no vibrations, but back at idle you can feel somethings not right.
Any clues from experience? its 80000miles old, 2001 1.7 car. My guess is engine mounts, any other ideas? Any idea of the cost of having them done if it is mounts?
I would check would be the rear mount. It is bolted to the back of the engine/gearbox and the subframe.
Then there is the engine mount on the drivers side and the gearbox mount on the passenger side. Check them all for excessive movement.
All the mounts are pretty easy to change as a DIY job.

Q: How to manage session with 3rd party API in Django? Context:
I have a Django based application. This application has various REST API endpoints where users can gather data. Some of this data needs to be pulled from a third-party API. This external API uses basic authentication.
In order to fetch this data, I have the following code implemented in my endpoint logic.
    def metadata(jira_key: str, format=None):
        username = "example"
        password = "example"
        try:
            print(f"fetching {jira_key} with '{username}' credentials")
            url = f"https://external.api.com/issue/{jira_key}"
            session = requests.Session()
            session.auth = username, password
            headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
            response = session.get(
                url, headers=headers)
            print(f"response: {response.status_code}")
            return response

        except Exception as e:
            message = {"error": "Uncaught error", "message": str(e)}
            return message

Long story short; it works! This endpoint is essentially just a proxy for another API. This is done for security purposes.
However, I have been experiencing lock-outs where permission for the service account needs to be reinstated periodically...
I suspect the session is being generated every time the endpoint is hit.
So my question is this:
How can I implement a persisted request.Session() with basic auth that is established at build time, and reused for each requests?

A: Your problem is solved by this answer, namely instantiate your session in the ready function of the app config class, which is run only once when starting django and then stored in the application memory.


Oliveira, E., Almeida, L., Ferrándiz, C., Ferrando, M., Sainz, M., & Prieto, M. D. (2009). Tests de pensamiento creativo de Torrance (TTCT): elementos para la validez de constructo en adolescentes portugueses. Psicothema, 21(4), 562-567.
El objetivo es estudiar la naturaleza unidimensional o multidimensional de la creatividad cuando se evalúa a través de tareas de pensamiento divergente como se propone en la batería de Torrance (To- rrance Thinking Creative Test, TTCT). En esta batería se utilizan diferentes subtests de contenido ver- bal y figurativo orientadas a estimar el nivel de creatividad según las dimensiones o funciones cogni- tivas de fluidez, flexibilidad, originalidad y elaboración de las ideas de los individuos. La muestra ha sido de 595 alumnos portugueses de 5º y 6º curso. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio permiten verificar que el modelo unidimensional (un factor general de creatividad) o el modelo de fac- tores en función de las dimensiones cognitivas de la creatividad según el contenido de las tareas no son los más ajustados. El modelo más ajustado pone de relieve una estructura factorial jerárquica, donde en el primer nivel se sitúan los factores por cada uno de los subtests aplicados, en un segundo nivel se incluye el contenido verbal o figurativo. En este sentido, se apunta la dificultad de verificar la validez estructural de los TTCT y la necesidad de realizar más estudios en orden a obtener, en la práctica, pun- tuaciones individuales de la creatividad.
Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT): Elements for construct validity in Portuguese adolescents.
The aim of this work is to study the unidimensional and multidimensional nature of creativity when assessed through divergent thinking tasks, as proposed in Torrance's battery (Torrance Creative Thinking Test, TTCT). This battery is made up of various tasks with verbal and figurative content, aimed at estimating the level of creativity according to the dimensions or cognitive functions of fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration of the individuals' ideas. This work used a sample of 595 Portuguese students from 5th and 6th grade. The results of confirmatory factor analysis reveals that the unidimensional model (a general factor of creativity) and the model of factors as a function of the cognitive dimensions of creativity, based on task content, do not fit well. The model with the best fit has a hierarchical factor structure, in which the first level comprises the factors for each of the subtests applied and the second level includes verbal or figurative content. The difficulty to verify the structural validity of the TTCT is noted, and the need for further studies to achieve, in practice, better individual creativity scores.
