DAB David Asher Band Reviewed by Jammin Reggae Archives
Great review of the DAB David Asher Band album on the
Jammin Reggae Archives website. Check it out!
David Asher Band - D.A.B.
At first I had this crew confused with the Daniel Asher Band, a reggae outfit from Sweden. But no, David Asher is based in Michigan, was once the front man of a reggae rock band called The Process and now heads the group that bears his name. Their debut release is an impressive slab of reggae with rock, funk, Latin and country overtones. Asher is adept on numerous instruments and has a husky, unencumbered voice that serves handily on covers of "Keep on Moving" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door " as well as his own hard-hitting material. The latter includes fact-based musical tales of law enforcement gone frighteningly awry ("47 Shots," "Deputy Dawg and the Marshall") and songs like "Keep a Little Faith" that hold true to the easygoing steadfastness that has always been one of reggae's defining features. There's also a pair of tracks with corresponding dubs- "Donkey Jawbone" and "Love Ballad" -that were mixed by On.U Sound mastermind Adrian Sherwood and deliver the level of mysticism and measured sonic thrills one would expect from that crafty Brit. It's always good to come across reggae from my sizable American homeland that has the right balance of outside and inside influences, and this disc is a prime example. –Tom Orr

Hooded Men win court appeal against PSNI
Posted By: September 21, 2019
Distributed to Congress by Irish National Caucus
"This legal decision represents at least a little relief for the victims of one of the most heinous British government acts of State terrorism.
In 1971, the British Government—posing before the world as a peace-keeping, non-partisan force in Northern Ireland— tortured and sadistically brutalized 14 innocent Irish Catholics who had been interned (imprisoned without charge or trial).
Francis McGuigan (whom I've met) speaks eloquently for the remaining Hooded Men in this article.
This brutal case—just by itself alone, not to mention all the other British atrocities in The North—was enough to discredit for all-time England's role in a partitioned Ireland."—Fr. Sean McManus.
Francis McGuigan… has welcomed a ruling by the Court of Appeal in Belfast that an investigation must be carried out into the treatment of 14 internees, known as the Hooded Men
Irish News. Belfast. Friday, September 20, 2019
The Court of Appeal in Belfast has ruled an investigation must be carried out into the treatment of 14 internees in 1971 known as the Hooded Men.
The majority ruling came following an appeal by the PSNI chief constable against a previous High Court judgment that the PSNI must investigate the unlawful treatment of the men.
The so-called Hooded Men claim they were subjected to a number of torture methods when they were detained without trial at a British military camp in Co Derry in 1971.
These included five techniques – hooding, stress positions, white noise, sleep deprivation and deprivation of food and water–along with beatings and death threats.
The European Court of Human Rights previously ruled that while the men suffered inhumane and degrading treatment, it fell short of torture.
Delivering the ruling at the Court of Appeal in Belfast on Friday, Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan said the treatment of the men "would, if it occurred today, properly be characterized as torture."
One of the three judges dissented with that conclusion.
The ruling goes on to agree with a previous ruling that an investigation carried out by the Historical Enquiries Team was "irrational and did not honor the undertaking given by the Chief Constable", and added: "In light of the manner in which the investigation was pursued it seems unlikely that an investigation by the Legacy Investigation Branch of the PSNI or its successor is likely to engender public confidence."
The ruling follows an appeal brought by the PSNI against a previous ruling that its decision to end preliminary inquiries into the methods deployed against the 14 men was seriously flawed and should be quashed.
Speaking outside court, Francis McGuigan, one of the Hooded Men, welcomed the ruling.
"We are delighted with the result we got this morning, Justice Morgan confirmed Justice Maguire's decision that if this happened today it would be torture, I would just like to know how they differ between today and 48 years ago when they use the word torture," he said.
"It's a small word but let me just give you some of the impact it had on me as a 23-year-old of average intelligence, what they had done to my brain and my body, I finished up that I couldn't spell my own name, they asked me to spell my own name and I couldn't spell my own name.
"I think Europe made a mistake then, and I want to stand in front of the judges in Europe and tell them what happened to me and the rest of us.
"There were 14 of us, over a third of us are now dead, since we initiated this case, two men have died, since Justice Morgan heard the appeal one man has died, there are nine of us left, each one of us have been in hospital for different treatments and this must be done before we all pass away."
Commenting on the judgment, PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne said: "Firstly I wish to acknowledge the distress this case has caused to many people over many years.
"I note today's judgment and we will take time to consider the fullness of its implications and our next steps.
"We will now determine how best to progress this matter and meet our legal obligations. This case again brings into focus the need for a societal response to issues of legacy.
"We will study this judgment carefully before making any further public commentary."
Fr. Sean Mc Manus

After that, we went to Naramachi and had lunch there.We tried meals made with all of Nara's ingredients.
We also went to Naramachi and Nara Womens' University.In the university,we had a cap of coffee. We talked a lot and she gave me a good advise for my future.
I enjoyed a lot today and learned so many things from her.


In a recent interview with Bow Wow on BET's 106 & Park the hosts asked Keyshia Cole about her appearance on Black Girls Rock and Keyshia replied….
was that really necessary to say? or is she right to be hesitant about being a part of someting black since she is bi-racial? i know some people, even on here take offense to bi-racial people calling themselves black.
and apparently, she didn't know who her father was so people are now asking does she know?
That BET host lady's hair makes me so angry. Like, what kind of Mohawk is that? It makes her look like some kind of ghetto dinosaur or something.
Did she ever find out who her pappy was?

Q: Remove object if its id number is present I have a Python file that format multiple objects in a JSON array (10 000). When this is done, I dump all in a new JSON file.
Bu I'd like to write a file with only 50 of the objects, based on ids. When this will be done, I'll write objects in a demo-file.
with open('./output/' + datefile + 'complete_format-test.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as json_output:
  json.dump(data, json_output, indent=4, ensure_ascii=False)

  for i in data:
        demoID= {[10202, 10300, 10615, 10890, 11161, 11204, 11460, 12043, 12054, 12617, 12633, 12736, 13689, 13730, 13755, 13764, 13894, 14472, 14837, 15328, 15383, 15403, 15449, 15771,
                 16121, 16134, 16205, 16242, 16434, 16485, 16487, 16622, 17769, 18001, 18074, 18673, 18689, 18762, 18863, 18912, 19243, 19478, 19758, 19895, 20299, 20981, 21010, 21064, 21078]}

        if not demoID in i["objectID"]:
            del(i)
            print(i)

Sample of the JSON:
  [{
    "objectID": 21064,
    "cars_getroute": "volkswagen-typ",
  },
  {
    "objectID": 21078,
    "cars_getroute": "volvo-123",
  } ...
]

So if a objectID is in the demoID list, I keep it and remove the others.
At the moment, I have a TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

A: you should define demoID as a set, without the inner [],
then you can filter out the correct data like this:
data = [
    {
        "objectID": 21064,
        "cars_getroute": "volkswagen-typ",
    },
    {
        "objectID": 999,
        "cars_getroute": "999",
    },
    {
        "objectID": 21078,
        "cars_getroute": "volvo-123",
    },
]

demoID = {
    10202, 10300, 10615, 10890, 11161, 11204, 11460, 12043, 12054, 12617, 12633, 12736, 13689, 13730, 13755, 13764,
    13894, 14472, 14837, 15328, 15383, 15403, 15449, 15771,
    16121, 16134, 16205, 16242, 16434, 16485, 16487, 16622, 17769, 18001, 18074, 18673, 18689, 18762, 18863, 18912,
    19243, 19478, 19758, 19895, 20299, 20981, 21010, 21064, 21078}

data = [d for d in data if d["objectID"] in demoID]

print(data)

A: There error you observe is related to how you are defining demoID.
Basically:
x = {[1, 2, 3]}

tries to generate a set() whose one and only element is the list [1, 2, 3].
However, it is not possible to use lists as elements for sets because they are not hashable. This is basically what that error is telling you.
However, there are a number of additional shortcomings to your code:

*

*demoID is defined inside a loop for no particularly good reason and gets wastefully recomputed every time;

*you try to modify data (with del) while it is being looped through. This may cause your container to get to inconsistent behavior and should be avoided;

*you try to use i (with print) after it is deleted;

*the condition of your loop not demoID in i["objectID"] is unnatural and unlikely what you would like to do: demoID is a container and i["objectID"] an element, and they should probably be inverted, e.g. i["objectID"] in demoID;

*you say that you want to limit your result to some 50 entries, but this it not enforced anywhere in the code. Perhaps this is relying on the assumption that your "objectID" is unique and that the length of demoID is 50, but you may want to do this more explicitly.

Given this and that I have no access to your data, I will write some code working on some test data that does not have those shortcomings and should be easily applicable to your case:
import random
import string

random.seed(0)

# generate dummy data
num = 10000
source_data = [
    {'objectID': random.randint(1, num),
     'cars_getroute': string.ascii_letters[0:random.randint(1, 50)]}
    for _ in range(num)]

print(len(source_data))
# 10000

Now assume you want to restrict (filter) source_data to have only objectID as specified in demoID. The standard approach is to generate a new container with only the filtered elements:
# generate dummy `demoID`
# here we are using a `set()` which is a sensible choice, given the expected usage,
# but we could have used e.g. a list or a tuple
demoID = {random.randint(1, num) for _ in range(50)}

# filter-out `source_data`
data = [
    elem
    for elem in source_data
    if elem['objectID'] in demoID]

# output could be different depending on the random seed
# in general, it is not `50` due to possible duplicates
# in both `demoID` and `source_data['objectID']`
print(len(data))
# 51

If you now want to actively restrict the number to say 50 maximum, you should slice your data, i.e.:
max_num = 50
demo_data = data[:max_num]

# could be less if `data` has less than `max_num` items
print(len(data[:max_num]))
# 50

(EDIT: Note that @Adam.Er8's answer uses the same approach proposed here)

EDIT 2
If you really want to modify source_data, the common approach is to get the index of the list elements you want to remove in a first loop and remove it in a second loop (after sorting the indexes from larger to smaller, so that when removing items it does not invalidate the index values previously computed), e.g.
# note that the condition here is the negation of
# what is used with the *filter* approach
to_remove = [
     i
     for i, elem in enumerate(source_data)
     if not elem['objectID'] in demoID]

for i in sorted(to_remove, reverse=True):
    source_data.pop(i)

print(len(source_data))
# 51

Experts Discuss Dangers of GE Chestnut
"Experts Discuss Dangers of Genetically Engineered American Chestnut Release"
For Immediate Release Contact: Steve Taylor (314) 210 1322
New York – December 5th, In advance of the public release of a petition requesting unprecedented USDA permission for the unregulated planting of the first genetically engineered plant into the wild, experts are calling attention to the risks and dangers of this plan.
Researchers developing a GE American chestnut tree have stated that they are working with the USDA on this petition and hope it will be finished and publicly released in the coming weeks.
In a series of short recorded presentations, five experts from the Campaign to STOP Genetically Engineered trees discuss risks of the proposed release of genetically engineered American chestnut trees into wild forests.
The Presenters include:
Dr. Rachel Smolker, an evolutionary biologist and co-Director of Biofuelwatch. Dr. Smolker discusses the science behind the genetically engineered American chestnut such as what is being engineered, analyzes the level of efficacy of this technique and demonstrates the large pictures questions we must be asking when exposing nature to massive experiments. https://vimeo.com/377545354
Brenda Jo McManama, Save Our Roots Campaigner with Indigenous Environmental Network discusses indigenous perspectives of "Natural Law and Common Sense" reflecting on how genetically engineered trees threaten indigenous sovereignty and how they violate natural law. https://vimeo.com/377554583
Lois Breault-Melican, a former Board member of the American Chestnut Foundation Massachusetts/Rhode Island Chapter. Lois will discuss her decision to publicly resign from the American Chestnut Foundation after sixteen years of involvement, due to the organization's enthusiastic support for the GE American chestnut. https://vimeo.com/377543233
Anne Petermann, Executive Director of Global Justice Ecology Project and the Coordinator of the international Campaign to STOP GE Trees. Anne analyzes the corporate backers of the GE American chestnut, following the money trail funding research into the GE tree. https://vimeo.com/377539143
Lorette Picciano, Executive Director of the Rural Coalition uplifts rural and agricultural perspectives on "What Could go Wrong" with the GE American chestnut. https://vimeo.com/377558124
A White paper released this year by Global Justice Ecology Project and Biofuelwatch, extensively documents the concerns surrounding the GE American chestnut. The impacts to forest ecosystems cannot be predicted, especially in the long-term. Testing young chestnut saplings for proof of safety and effectiveness, as researchers have done, is not sufficient for trees that can live hundreds of years. Also, indoor and extremely controlled outdoor testing does not replicate how a tree will interact and react in the wild. Pollen can travel for many miles, transported by wind, insects or animals. Remaining wild American chestnuts, and organic or non-GMO chestnut orchards are threatened (pg. 6) with contamination by GE AC pollen. Many experts representing rural, ag, activist, indigenous and scientific perspectives from various backgrounds are coming together demanding that the genetically engineered American chestnut be rejected.

Fight heats up over plan to move President Polk's body
4 years 9 months 1 week ago Friday, April 07 2017 Apr 7, 2017 April 07, 2017 8:35 PM April 07, 2017 in News
By: APNewsNow
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A lawyer for a museum that wants to have the body of former President James K. Polk exhumed is accusing the head of the Tennessee Historical Commission of acting unethically.
The attorney was responding to a letter from the executive director of the Tennessee Historical Commission saying moving the 11th president's body from the state Capitol grounds to a museum 50 miles away would create a false sense of history.
Doug Jones, an attorney for the James K. Polk Memorial Association, replied in a letter Friday that his client deserves a fair hearing. He said Polk should be buried at his presidential museum.
The director of the Tennessee Historical Commission said in an email that his letter shouldn't be construed to mean that commission members wouldn't hear a waiver request.

let point = new window.H.geo.Point(55.755814, 37.617635, 0);

console.log(point);

line.pushPoint(point);

console.log(new window.H.map.Polyline(line)); // throws an error

UPD2:
Oh, i got it — i MUST insert at least 2 points in LineString or Strip first and only then i'm allowed to create a polyline.
UPD3:
Also, LineString is the same as Strip.

A: As already mentioned in the updated post, there are at least 2 points required for creating a polyline using H.geo.Strip(Deprecated) or H.geo.LineString.

The Fawn Fire broke out early Wednesday evening in the area of Fawndale Road and the Mountain Gate Quarry about 12 miles north of Redding.
The fire has a rapid rate of spread and had grown to 5,500 acres by Thursday night, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The fire is 5% contained.
Robert Foxworthy, a Cal Fire spokesman, said the fire is burning in a south, southwest direction on the east side of Interstate 5.
"The fire has not crossed I-5," Foxworthy said Thursday around 2:30 p.m.

A feat that almost didn't happen, according to Peele in his acceptance speech.
"I stopped writing this movie about 20 times because I thought it was impossible. I thought it wasn't going to work. I thought no one would ever make this movie," said Peele.
It was a proud moment for movie-goers, including some of Peele's celebrity supporters.

The goal of the SU2C–Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) Breast Cancer Convergence Research Team is to study the different cell populations surrounding human breast tumors to understand their interactions as an ecosystem (also called the tumor microenvironment). The project is highly multidisciplinary, with participation from experts in breast cancer, immunology, genomics, bioinformatics, mathematical modeling, ecology, and drug delivery. Together, they hope to use the knowledge they gain to develop novel treatments to destabilize this ecosystem, potentially making it possible to more effectively treat the cancer.
Tumors consist not only of cancer cells but also stromal (connective tissue) and immune cells that constitute the tumor microenvironment. Researchers have only recently begun to appreciate the clinical impact of this microenvironment.
In many cancer types, including breast cancer, tumors with a higher proportion of connective tissue are associated with worse clinical outcomes. In contrast, tumors infiltrated by a type of white blood cell that kills cancer (called CD8 T cells) have better clinical outcomes. Therefore, tumors behave differently based on the collective behavior of the microenvironment.
This SU2C–BCRF Breast Cancer Convergence Research Team hypothesizes that the microenvironment is an important determinant of the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy treatments. The study brings together expertise in histology, image analysis, cell culturing, bioinformatics, ecology modeling, and nanotechnology to create a three-dimensional model of the tumor microenvironment that incorporates different cell types and genomic information. This will provide insights into the development of new therapeutic and imaging applications.
Researchers are comparing the breast cancer tumor microenvironment with that of normal breast tissue. The goal is to capture the basic way different cell types affect each other and use that knowledge to develop new models with which to test potential therapies.
The top scientists and researchers on the SU2C–BCRF Breast Cancer Convergence Research Team come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, which leads them to great insights upon collaboration. Learn more about the SU2C–BCRF Breast Cancer Convergence Research Team.
Stand Up To Cancer's research projects are designed to foster collaborative, swift translational research. The hallmarks of these efforts include rigorous application and selection procedures, sufficient funding to allow scientists to focus on the objectives of the grant, and six-monthly reviews by senior scientists. These reviews help the investigators capitalize on the latest findings, address potential roadblocks, and collaboratively evolve as the science requires.

We always hear this from other people when they finally know you are already in a relationship: never give your all to a person so that if they leave, you won't be hurt too much.
I was warned countless of times that I should guard my heart, be careful, not give too much. But when you experience love, not the 'butterflies-in-your-stomach' kind of love or the 'smooth-and-silent' kind of love, rather the fiery-passionate-soulful kind of love and modern-but-raw-and-deep kind of love that we might only get few times or even once in our lifetime, you're more than willing to break your own rules.
I broke my own rules for this person, risking everything I could risk – no doubts, just love. It was a good feeling though, a good kind of high. It was something I'd never thought would end but ended anyway. It was a crashing, burning, shattering kind of ending. It took everything out of me. I was left lost, confused, and empty. As dramatic as it may sound, I felt as if my soul died. You'd never imagine how many times I heard the words "I told you so" – some comforting, some not.
But the truth is, I don't regret it.
I don't have regrets that I gave everything I could give to the person. I don't have regrets that I broke my own rules just to attend, welcome, nurture that intense and genuine love I had.
I don't have regrets that I lost the person because I know I fought hard and held on longer than I should.
I don't have regrets that I loved the person with my core and lost myself in the process.
I don't regret; instead, I am thankful.
I am thankful because loving the person so much, breaking my own heart, and losing myself took away all the things not good and not meant for me.
I am thankful because it took away my stupidity.
I am thankful because it took away the lies, the pain, the tears.
I am thankful because I proved to myself that I can love a person that much – genuine and electrifying.
I am thankful because I got to realize my worth.
I am thankful because I can now prepare a new room for the love that is deserving, matching my fire.
I am thankful because I am finally free to open new and more exciting doors of adventures for me.
I am thankful because I will give birth to a bolder, wiser, stronger version of myself.
I am thankful I lost myself because that means I am meant for finding greater things ahead.
I'm not Olaf but I also like warm hugs. Send me tons!	Follow Joyce on Instagram or read more articles from Joyce on Thought Catalog.


Strike shuts down Kashmir as Manmohan Singh visits volatile region day after eight soldiers were killed.
Manmohan Singh, India's prime minister, has visited Indian-administered Kashmir a day after eight soldiers were killed in an attack by separatist fighters in the region.
Shops and other businesses, along with schools, banks and offices were closed throughout Srinagar, the capital of the volatile region, after separatist groups called a strike to protest the visit by the Indian prime minister.
Police and paramilitary forces deployed in strength across the region for the visit, including in Srinagar.
Government forces were enforcing curfew-like restrictions in the volatile and congested old town in Srinagar.
"We are confined to our homes whenever a politician from Delhi visits our Kashmir," a resident of the area said by phone, adding that he was not able to leave his neighbourhood for work.
Singh, who is being accompanied by Sonia Gandhi, the president of the ruling Congress party, visited the wounded soldiers at an army base hospital.
Hizbul Mujahideen, a local pro-Pakistan militant, group claimed responsibility for the attack, and warned of more such attacks.
Speaking to Indian media after landing in the southern town of Kishtwar as part of the two-day trip, Singh said his country was "united against terrorism".
"We won't let them succeed in their nefarious designs," he said.
The prime minister also stressed in a speech that violence "had shown a sharp decline and was the lowest in last two decades", the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Monday's attack, which also left 13 wounded, was the bloodiest in a series of attacks since India hanged a separatist in February.
Separatist groups have been fighting Indian forces since 1989 for the region's independence or its merger with Pakistan and tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians have died in the fighting.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan, both of which claim all of the territory.
Armed rebel groups have escalated attacks on security forces since March, killing 27 security personnel so far.


Savings: 50% in construction cost & time.
In 1993, Casino de Montreal was housed in the existing French Pavilion built for EXPO'1967. The lateral earthquake resistance of the existing eight-storey braced steel structure was not adequate to meet the requirements of the National Building Code of Canada.
Introduction of supplemental damping provided by Pall Friction Dampers was the most effective, economical and hi-tech solution for the seismic rehabilitation of this building. The use of Pall Friction Dampers in the existing steel bracing considerably reduced the forces on the structure. Hence, the provision of additional bracing, strengthening of existing members and pile foundation was not required.

Q: How to find $f(x)$, if $f(x)+f(1/x)=f(x)f(1/x)$? So this is actually a part of another question:

If a polynomial $f$ satisfies: $$\log_2[f(x)]=\log_2\left[2+\frac 23+\frac 29+\cdots +\infty\right]\cdot \log_3 \left[1+ \frac{f(x)}{f(1/x)} \right] $$
if $f(10)=1001,$ find $f(20)$

So, I actually thought, to find $f(x)$ polynomial altogether, since I couldn't get any another clue. simplifiying that long equation yields us this equation :
$$f(x)+f(1/x)=f(x)f(1/x)$$, after which i am stuck and unable to proceed further. Putting different values of $x$ won't benefit, as far I tried. Any help is massively appreciated and thanks in advance.

Example. One of the 35 cases, corresponding vignette, and survey questions that were presented to judges is illustrated.
Responses to question 4 (best final management choice). FD was commonly selected as the best final treatment choice for anterior circulation (A, 9-mm asymptomatic paraophthalmic aneurysm; 10 votes for FD) or sidewall aneurysms (B, 38-mm asymptomatic sidewall basilar trunk aneurysm; 12 votes for FD).
Responses to question 1 (Is flow diversion an option?). FD was considered an option by at least 7 judges in all cases. The cases in which flow diversion was most frequently judged not to be a viable option were a 20-mm MCA bifurcation aneurysm (A, 15/22 "no" votes) and a 38-mm basilar tip aneurysm (B, 14/22 "no" votes). The cases in which flow diversion was least frequently thought not to be an option, with only 1/22 "no" votes each, were a 22-mm ophthalmic segment aneurysm (C) and a recurrent previously coiled carotid bifurcation aneurysm (D).
Responses to question 2 (Any other treatment option?). In all cases, judges were able to find a viable alternative to flow diversion. The cases with the largest number of votes for "No, flow diversion only" were a ruptured supraclinoid carotid blister aneurysm (A, 5 votes) and a giant basilar aneurysm with an associated AVM (B, 4 votes). All other aneurysm-patient combinations were thought to have >1 treatment option.
Responses to question 2 (Would you recruit this patient in a RCT?). Aneurysm-patient combinations, which more than half of judges were willing to include in a randomized trial, were all ophthalmic or paraophthalmic: for example, a 22-mm ophthalmic segment in a 57-year-old patient (A, 18/22 votes for trial participation) and a recurrent giant ophthalmic artery aneurysm in a 37-year-old patient (B, 20/22 votes). The case with the fewest number of judges willing to randomize was a 16-mm asymptomatic cavernous aneurysm in a 79-year-old patient (C, 4/22 votes).

TV ReviewsAvenue 5Season 1
Avenue 5 skirts past the danger to focus on yet another party
Liz Shannon Miller
Photo: Alex Bailey (HBO)
No one on the good ship Avenue 5 seems to be very good at what they're supposed to do, which is not necessarily good news for anyone hoping to survive this voyage. But the stakes are probably lowest for Jordan the stand-up comic, whose failure to deliver a tight five still ends up anchoring a big portion of the episode.
While last week's episode introduced a new potential danger — the venting of the turd shield, which could eventually lead to everyone's death from radiation — that threat is relatively quickly vanquished, thanks to Ryan and Billie working together in EVA suits to turn the "big metal wheel" outside and turn off the vent.
So after we get just barely enough of Ryan outside to remind us just how scary space can be, "He's Only There To Stop His Skeleton Falling Over" refocuses on the crew holding its Halfway Home party — even though that label is technically inaccurate, as there are still years to go on, the crew decides to go ahead and party anyway.
Avenue 5Season 1
"He's Only There To Stop His Skeleton Falling Over"
As the central entertainment, Jordan has a lot of pressure on him, which isn't helped by Iris deciding to play the literal joke police, vetting his material prior to his set and doing a live critique of his performance while he's on stage. There's no way for Jordan to succeed, but his failure is pretty complete, with Judd's own attempts to rev up the crowd also falling flat. In fact, the only real sign of engagement is the party revolting against Frank, devolving into a mob crying for him to be "shit out" the airlock.
But Ryan actually manages to calm the crowd down, restoring some semblance of order as he urges everyone to work together as a team — darting into moments of near-competency, which is a welcome sight after so much recent flailing. And Ryan manages this despite reeling from getting "tri-vorced" by his husband and wife back home, as they're unable to take the stress of his life being in danger.
Doug and Mia push forward with their separation, Mia choosing to hit on Colin the crew member while Doug tries to get some quality time with Spike (much to Spike's disappointment, in a non-sexual way). While Karen seems pretty turned off by her husband in the aftermath of the button-pushing fiasco, finding Ryan to be very good-looking in his turtleneck, to which Frank reacts badly. Meanwhile, there might also be something resembling sparks flying between Billie and Ryan? If this show has one thing to say about the future, it's that the future is a very, very sexual place.
The team back home is largely absent this week, reduced to the state of spectators during Ryan and Billie's spacewalk. But Rav does make a big decision — it's time to do some "corporate begging," and so she travels to the White House (which has been relocated to Buffalo, New York for some reason).
What the President will be able to do for the folks of Avenue 5 is unclear, though Rav's trying to sell those stranded as the "best and brightest" may be a bit difficult, as the live feed shows them conga-ing up a storm, while the ring of excrement continues to surround the ship — just thick enough to remind everyone just what is out there, but not thick enough to conceal the coffins also trapped in the ship's gravity.
While it feels like a real Lord of the Flies-type situation is brewing, unless Ryan can become enough of a leader to maintain control over the passengers, this episode pulled its punches just enough to be frustrating. Right now it feels like everyone's taking their safety for granted, even though we have gotten a taste of just how dangerous things can get. With just over half the season left to go, the cloud surrounding the ship (metaphorically and literally) needs to get darker.
Hello! I'll be taking over the rest of the season from Kate Kulzick (for the record, HBO will not be making screeners available going forward, so these recaps will be written night-of, as soon as the episode airs), and I will do my best to avoid making too many Star Trek references.
That said, as someone who has recently been rewatching Star Trek: Voyager, it is still very odd to a) see Ethan Phillips play a non-alien and b) a super-horny one at that. (I mean, Neelix was always a bit hot to trot, but not quite to the level of "well, a hole's a hole.")
The beat of "once again Billie's contributions get overlooked for the men" is a beat that this show can hopefully find some way to evolve at some point; right now, it's just getting tiresome.
"Remember the Oscars? That was a real shitshow. They gave an award to a sparrow." There's a lot of missing context there.
"No! Stop murdering someone!" is perhaps the least-effective attempt to shut down a mob I've ever heard.
Apparently, Daniel Radcliffe is now most famous for having "shat his pants at the Super Bowl." How quickly we all forget Harry Potter (or BoJack Horseman).

CHERNAKI-LEFFER, Andreia Mauruto; SOSA-GOMEZ, Daniel Ricardo; ALMEIDA, Lúcia M. and LOPES, Ivani de Oliveira Negrão. Susceptibility of Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) to cypermethrin, dichlorvos and triflumuron in southern Brazil. Rev. Bras. entomol. [online]. 2011, vol.55, n.1, pp.125-128. ISSN 0085-5626. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0085-56262011000100020.
Susceptibility of Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) to cypermethrin, dichlorvos and triflumuron in southern Brazil. The lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), is an important insect pest in poultry houses in Brazil. Susceptibility of the lesser mealworm collected from eight poultry houses in Paraná state, southern Brazil, was evaluated for cypermethrin, dichlorvos and triflumuron. Adult A. diaperinus were tested in bioassays with cypermethrin and dichlorvos. Larvae were fed rabbit feed wetted with a triflumuron-water solution. Concentration-mortality regressions were estimated using Probit analysis and resistance ratios were calculated based on the susceptible population. Among the field populations evaluated, cypermethrin LC50 values for adults, ranged from 68.1 to 6,263 ng (AI)/cm2. LC50 values for adults challenged with dichlorvos ranged from 10.3 to 1,385 ng (AI)/cm2. One population from Pato Branco showed reduced susceptibility to triflumuron (LC50 = 272 µg (AI)/ml of solution) when compared to the most susceptible population (LC50 = 109.8 µg (AI)/ml). Application of cypermethrin and dichlorvos analogues should be managed with caution to minimize insecticide resistance problems.

BURNT COAT HARBOR LIGHTHOUSE
N 44.134183° W 68.44725°
Maine Hancock County Swans Island Quad
Landmark/Intersection Station
Geocaching.com Benchmark Page: BURNT COAT HARBOR LIGHTHOUSE
Rich and I spent today exploring Swans Island by bike. Of course, we also had the goal of finding a survey station or two. Burnt Coat Harbor lighthouse was on our list of possibilities. The ride from the ferry terminal to the lighthouse was fun and beautiful, and full of rolling hills—the last hill leading to the lighthouse itself was short but steep!
The grounds were deserted, so we could poke around to our hearts' content. We spotted a little red outbuilding, which I at first assumed was a shed or even an outhouse. Aside from the lighthouse and the keeper's quarters, we spotted a small white building with sloping sides sitting right at the water's edge. I later learned from New England Lighthouses: A Virtual Guide that these structures were most likely the oil house (built in 1895) and the bell tower (built in 1911). The lighthouse itself, dating from 1872, does not appear to have been damaged in any way, and according to the NPS Inventory of Historic Light Stations, the tower has not been moved. Therefore I will consider this station in good condition and recover it as such.
A report on the condition of this survey mark has been submitted to NGS.

This is the bell tower, added in 1911. It appears to have been refurbished recently.
Could this have been the oil house, from 1895?

You won't believe its new 0-62 mph time.
It was only a matter of time before the team at Hennessey Performance . The street-legal drag car is already a force to be reckoned with in stock form thanks to its 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine producing 840 horsepower, enabling it to hit 0-62 mph in just 2.3 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in 9.65 seconds. Hennessey, however, has taken it to another level by increasing the output to 1,000 horses. It's the very definition of "excessive," and we wouldn't have it any other way.
To test Hennessey's first HPE1000 Demon, the tuner hooked up the upgraded muscle car to a dyno to see what it can do. As you can see in the video, the car produced 880 hp and 806 lb-ft of torque at the wheels during its tire-torturing session at the dyno. Factoring in an estimated 20 percent drivetrain loss, the crank horsepower is rated at 1,056 hp and 967 lb-ft of torque.
That's a considerable power increase, as Hennessey's Demon has 216 more horsepower than the standard car. According to the video, the power was achieved using the race-spec ECU included in the Demon Crate, which unlocks the Demon's potential and lets the car run on unleaded race gas to make 840 horses.
Other upgrades include a high-flow upper supercharger pulley, a high-flow lower crankshaft pulley, HPE engine management software, and stainless steel long tube headers with high-flow catalytic converters. It's worth watching the dyno test video for the sound alone – the combination of the screaming supercharger and growling V8 is earth-shattering. With even more power to play with, you would expect to see an improvement in the Demon's straight-line performance. And you'd be right. To show how much quicker the HPE1000 Demon is than the stock model, Hennessey has released a new video showing it complete the quarter mile in 9.38 seconds at 146 mph.
That makes it 0.17 seconds quicker and six mph faster than the stock Demon at the drag strip. If that wasn't already impressive, Hennessey claims it also hit 62 mph in an astonishing 1.93 seconds from a standstill. Excuse us while we pick up our jaws off the floor.
