John Speed Biography
John Speed (1551 or '52 - 28 July 1629) was the best known English mapmaker of the Stuart period. Speed came to mapmaking late in life, producing his first maps in the 1590s and entering the trade in earnest when he was almost 60 years old.
John Speed's fame, which continues to this day, lies with two atlases, The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine (first published 1612), and the Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World (1627). While The Theatre ... started as solely a county atlas, it grew into an impressive world atlas with the inclusion of the Prospect in 1627. The plates for the atlas passed through many hands in the 17th century, and the book finally reached its apotheosis in 1676 when it was published by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell, with a number of important maps added for the first time.

Q: Python multiprocessing pylab Fourier I'm trying to plot a fourier sequence of a square wave, but with many terms the program just takes too much time computate all the points. I tried to use multiprocessing module but didnt work.Please help me how to use multiprocessing. I'm running at fedora linux and have a AMD FX Octa core. Thanks
#!/usr/bin/env python

import pylab,math

#Square Wave approximation by Fourier Series:
#y=4/pi*(sin(x) + sin(3x)/3 + sin(5x)/5 + ... n) terms

n=input("how many terms do you want?")
y=[]
# generate x's to calculate the points.
x=pylab.arange(0,360,0.5)
#generate de odd numbers to add the sines terms
impar=range(1,n+2,2)
no=4/math.pi #just for normalize the sequence to converge to 1 (not pi/4)
#calculate the points
for ps in x:
    a=0
    for i in impar:
        a=a+(((math.sin(math.radians(i*ps)))/i))
    a=no*a
    y.append(a)

#plot
pylab.figure()
pylab.plot(x,y,"o")
pylab.title(str(n)+str(" terms"))
pylab.grid()
#save a image(just in case)
pylab.savefig(str(n)+str("sqwv.png"))
#show the graph
pylab.show()

A: You can use numpy's ufunc to speedup the calculation:
y = reduce(np.add, (np.sin(np.radians(i*x))/i for i in impar))

Here is the full code:
import pylab,math
import numpy as np
#Square Wave approximation by Fourier Series:
#y=4/pi*(sin(x) + sin(3x)/3 + sin(5x)/5 + ... n) terms

n = 1000

# generate x's to calculate the points.
x=pylab.arange(0,360,0.5)
#generate de odd numbers to add the sines terms
impar=range(1,n+2,2)
no=4/math.pi #just for normalize the sequence to converge to 1 (not pi/4)
#calculate the points

y = reduce(np.add, (np.sin(np.radians(i*x))/i for i in impar)) * no

#plot
pylab.figure()
pylab.plot(x,y,"-")
pylab.title(str(n)+str(" terms"))
pylab.grid()
#save a image(just in case)
pylab.savefig(str(n)+str("sqwv.png"))
#show the graph
pylab.show()

One my PC, it takes about 200ms when n is 10000.

A: The problem is embarrassingly parallel so it is easy to make the script to use multiple CPUs. Building on @HYRY's answer:
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool # use threads

def compute_y(i):
    np.add.reduce(no * np.sin(np.radians(impar * x[i])) / impar, out=y[i])

step = 10**8 // n
Pool().map(compute_y, (slice(j, j + step) for j in range(0, len(x), step)))

Vectorized numpy operations release GIL so this code should be able to utilize multiple CPUs.
The full script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Square Wave approximation by Fourier Series."""
import math
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool # use threads
from timeit import default_timer as timer

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

n = 100000 # compute first n terms in the series

# generate x's to calculate the points.
x = np.arange(0, 360, .1)

# generate odd numbers to add the sines terms
impar = np.c_[1:n+2:2]
no = 4 / math.pi # just for normalize the sequence to converge to 1 (not pi/4)

# calculate the points
start = timer()
# y = 4/pi*(sin(x) + sin(3x)/3 + sin(5x)/5 + ... n) terms
y = np.empty_like(x)

def compute_y(i):
    t = impar * x[i]
    np.radians(t, out=t)
    np.sin(t, out=t)
    t *= no
    t /= impar
    np.add.reduce(t, out=y[i])

step = 10**8 // n
Pool().map(compute_y, (slice(j, j + step) for j in range(0, len(x), step)))
print("y calc. takes us %.2f seconds" % (timer() - start,))

# plot
plt.plot(x, y, "-")
plt.title("%d terms" % n)
plt.grid()
# save a image(just in case)
plt.savefig("%dsqwv.png" % n)
# show the graph

Brightest fleeing sinking ship: Rahul Gandhi on Arvind Subramanian's quitting as CEC
Updated Jun 20, 2018 | 22:55 IST | Times Now Digital
Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the Centre over the exit of outgoing chief economic advisor Arvind Subramanian, claiming that the brightest talents were fleeing the "sinking ship" because the "invisible hand" of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was "steering it into rocks".Meanwhile, Subramanian in a press conference on Wednesday lauded Union Minister Arun Jaitley as "the dream boss." He added that he had the best job and "also the best job I will ever have".
New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the Centre over the exit of outgoing chief economic advisor Arvind Subramanian, claiming that the brightest talents were fleeing the "sinking ship" because the "invisible hand" of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was "steering it into rocks". Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi said that he was "fast asleep". He also described the situation as "crazy" in a tweet.
The Congress President's statement came just a few hours after Union Minister Arun Jaitley announced that Chief Economic Advisor Subramanian was going to quit the Finance Ministry "on account of pressing family commitments". Gandhi also lashed out at Union Minister Arun Jaitley for making the announcement on Facebook. "He would like to go back to the United States ... He left me with no option but to agree with him," Jaitley had written in a facebook post titled "Thank you, Arvind." He also questioned if Jaitley, who held the finance portfolio before undergoing a kidney transplant surgery in May, continued to hold the post of finance minister.
He tweeted, "Ex? FM is locked in his room, breaking news on Facebook. BJP treasurer has the keys to the Indian economy. The brightest flee the sinking ship, as the invisible hand of the RSS steers it onto the rocks. Meanwhile, Captain DeMo is fast asleep. It's crazy out there!"
Meanwhile, Subramanian in a press conference on Wednesday lauded Union Minister Arun Jaitley as "the dream boss." He added that he had the best job and "also the best job I will ever have".

The vast majority of brain connectivity studies have focused on the activity of measurable brain signals in the cortex and deep gray matter nuclei regions. However, the axons in the white matter serve as the connectivity network of the brain between distant brain regions. Currently, there are not any noninvasive methods for mapping the signal conduction in specific white matter networks. Several MR imaging methods have the potential to provide information related to the physiology and pathology of the white matter tissue substrates, which may ultimately affect brain connectivity.
White matter (WM) is comprised of myelinated axons and glial cells. Axons are the thick branches of neurons, which conduct action potentials (signals) from the neuron cell body to remote target neurons. Myelin is an insulating layer of phospholipids and proteins, which significantly increase the speed of action potential conduction. Either demyelination, myelin degradation, or poor myelin development will impede the efficiency of action potentials and affect neural connectivity. The glia ("brain glue") are non-neural cells and are the supporting cells of the nervous system. They provide support, form myelin, respond to injury, maintain the blood-brain barrier, and regulate the chemical composition of tissue medium. Glial cells include oligodendrocytes (responsible for myelin generation and maintenance), astrocytes (support metabolic function and provide structural support including the blood brain barrier), and microglia (protect the brain from insult and injury). Imaging methods that can characterize the properties of this complex tissue matrix may be valuable for investigating the influence of tissue substrates on neural connectivity.
Conventional MRI is a noninvasive imaging method that can create images with exquisite anatomical detail. While standard MRI methods (e.g., T1-weighted, T2-weighted, proton-density-weighted) can differentiate gray matter and white matter, as well as localize certain brain lesions and abnormalities, it is not quantitative and does not provide information about specific changes in the tissue. However, several quantitative MRI methods have recently been developed which provide either direct or indirect measurements of relevant tissue properties including the microstructural tissue architecture, intra-myelin water, proteins associated with myelin, axon density, biochemical metabolite concentrations, and response to injury (e.g., inflammation, microglia). These MRI methods include diffusion tensor imaging, magnetization transfer imaging, T1 and T2 relaxometry, MR spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging, and targeted contrast agents. This chapter will focus on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) and myelin water fraction imaging (MWFI) using multi-component T2 relaxometry. Although promising, MR spectroscopy is not covered here.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is currently the most widely used method for investigations of WM and anatomical connectivity. The diffusion tensor is a simple model of water diffusion in biological tissues and describes the magnitude, anisotropy (directional variation), and orientation of the diffusion distribution.
states that the mean squared-displacement, (Ar2), from diffusion is proportional to the diffusivity, D (in mm2/s), over the diffusion time, At. The displacement is scaled by the spatial dimensionality, n, which is n = 3 in biological tissues. The diffusivity of pure water at 20°C is roughly 2.0 x 10-3 mm2/s and slightly higher at body temperature.
The molecules, sub-cellular organelles and cells within biological tissues are in a continuous state of kinetic motion. In particular, water molecules diffuse inside, outside, around, and through cellular structures. The diffusion of water molecules is first caused by random thermal fluctuations. The behavior of the diffusion is further modulated by cytoplasmic currents and the interactions with cellular membranes, and subcellular and organelles.
In fibrous tissues such as white matter tracts in the brain, water diffusion is less hindered or restricted in the direction parallel to the fiber orientation. Conversely, water diffusion is highly restricted or hindered in the directions perpendicular to the fibers. Thus, the diffusion in fibrous tissues is anisotropic. Early diffusion imaging experiments used measurements of parallel (D||) and perpendicular (D±) diffusion components to characterize the diffusion anisotropy (Chenevert et al. 1990; Moseley et al. 1990).

Other indirect expenses may include transportation, personal expenses and bank fees. The normal course load for a full-time student is 4 course credits per semester. A student enrolled in 3 course credits or more is classified as a full-time student. Tuition per semester is based on a student's registered course load as of the last day to add a course. Students enrolled in music lessons will be charged a music lesson fee unless the course is dropped by the end of the first week of classes' add / drop date.
Tuition includes use of the library, laboratories, student center, cultural activities, co-curricular programs, admission to athletic contests and most other campus events. Tuition is required whenever a student is enrolled for course work through Monmouth College whether the course work is on or off campus. Students participating in off campus programs, student teaching or internships are responsible for additional expenses they may incur such as transportation and meal costs.
Where space permits, double rooms are made available for single occupancy at an extra charge. Students selecting a "double-single" room will be charged an additional $465 per semester.
All unmarried students are required to live and take board on campus, except residents of the immediate area who may receive permission to commute to the College while they continue to live with their parents. Student residing in Founders Village or specific campus houses may choose to waive their meal plan. Students enrolled in internships, independent study, student teaching or other off-campus programs within 30 miles of Monmouth College must reside on campus and be enrolled in a campus meal plan. Box meals will be provided for the meals that cannot be taken on campus.
Students enrolled in less than 3 course credits per semester will be charged tuition at $4,880.00 per course credit.
Full-time students may audit a course without a charge. Part-time students or persons not enrolled will be charged the audit fee.
Students enrolled in music lessons will be charged a $220.00 fee each semester . Students enrolled in multiple lessons pay one $220.00 fee per semester. Students will be charged this fee unless the lesson(s) is dropped by the add / drop date at the end of the first week of classes.
Tuition, room and board charges are billed by semester. A late payment fee of $75 will be assessed if payment in full or alternative arrangements are not made by the due date.
Charges incurred after a semester begins are billed monthly and payment is due by the 20th of the month in which the statement is received.
Statements are available online once a student has given access privileges to an individual(s). When a student is enrolled, they will receive an email requesting the student to authorize individual(s) access to their account information. An email will be sent asking for those authorized to register with Monmouth College. Reminder emails will be sent out each month prompting you to view the online statement.
Students who change their course registration after the first week of classes will be charged this add/drop fee.
An orientation fee of $195 is charged to all new students enrolled in the fall semester. This fee includes orientation meals, program materials, events and academic transcripts. All new students in the fall semester are expected to participate in orientation activities. The orientation fee for new transfer students who will not need to participate in ILA is $145.00.
Resident students who do not return for fall semester must cancel their room assignment in written notice to the Student Affairs Office no later than July 1 in order to receive their deposit refund. Students who do not return for spring semester must notify the Student Affairs Office by January 4 to receive the deposit refund.
The security of residence halls and the integrity of the identification system demand cooperation and responsibility from all members of the community in safeguarding keys and ID cards. The charges above are to encourage care of keys and cards, to maintain room and building security, and to prevent loss of ID cards. Students are charged for keys not returned by the last day of each semester. Students who return keys after the last day of each semester will receive a refund of one half of the initial charge. The ID card is used to access all residence halls with the exception of student houses.
*In addition, violators are required to register the vehicle.
All students must register their vehicle and properly display a parking permit at all times. A parking permit allows students the opportunity to utilize campus parking facilities when a space is available. It does not guarantee a parking space will always be available. If no parking permits are available at the time of the request, a student will be placed on a waiting list until a permit is available. Further information is available at the Monmouth College parking rules and regulations website or in the associated brochure.
The fee is charged to a person cashing a check which is returned to the College due to insufficient funds in the account to cover the amount of the check.

Q: Can ionizing particles cause ignition of flammable material? For example, can high energy $\alpha$ or $\beta$ particle cause ignition of $H_2/O_2$ mixture below critical conditions?

A: Oxyhydrogen can be ignited with minimum of $20~\mu J$ spark energy. That would correspond to $\beta$ particle going at $0.999999999999999992~c$ speed or with $125~\text{TeV}$ relativistic kinetic energy. Needless to say that such highly energetic $\beta$ rays should be at scarse amounts in nature. However, if you would put $H_2+O_2$ mixture to be crossed by particles at LHC, at least theoretically it could ignite without reaching autoignition temperature.

Q: Apply function to data.table using function's character name and arguments as character vector I would like to call functions by their character name on a data.table. Each function has also a vector of arguments (so there is a long list of functions to apply to data.table). Arguments are data.table columns. My first thought was that do.call would be a good approach for that task. Here is a simple example with one function name to run and it's vector of columns to pass:
# set up dummy data
set.seed(1)
DT <- data.table(x = rep(c("a","b"),each=5), y = sample(10), z = sample(10))
# columns to use as function arguments
mycols <- c('y','z')
# function name
func <- 'sum'
# my current solution:
DT[, do.call(func, list(get('y'), get('z'))), by = x]
#    x V1
# 1: a 47
# 2: b 63

I am not satisfied with that since it requires to name specifically each column. And I would like to pass just a character vector mycols.
Other solution that works just as I need in this case is:
DT[, do.call(func, .SD), .SDcols = mycols, by = x]

But there is a hiccup with custom functions and the only solution that works for me is the first one:
#own dummy function
myfunc <- function(arg1, arg2){
  arg1+arg2
}
func <- 'myfunc'
DT[, do.call(func, list(get('y'), get('z'))), by = x]
#   x V1
#  1: a  6
#  2: a  6
#  3: a 11
#  4: a 17
#  5: a  7
#  6: b 15
#  7: b 17
#  8: b 10
#  9: b 11
# 10: b 10
# second solution does not work
DT[, do.call(func, .SD), .SDcols = mycols, by = x]
# Error in myfunc(y = c(3L, 4L, 5L, 7L, 2L), z = c(3L, 2L, 6L, 10L, 5L)) :
#  unused arguments (y = c(3, 4, 5, 7, 2), z = c(3, 2, 6, 10, 5))

As I understand it, it assumes that myfunc has arguments y, z which is not true. There should be variables y,z which should be passed to arguments arg1, arg2.
I also tried mget function, but also with no success:
DT[, do.call(func, mget(mycols)), by = x]
# Error: value for 'y' not found

I could be missing something fairly obvious, thanks in advance for any guidance.

A: This is likely to be dependent on the types of functions you want to use, but it seems like Reduce might be of interest to you.
Here it is with both of your examples:
mycols <- c('y','z')
func <- 'sum'

DT[, Reduce(func, mget(mycols)), by = x]
#    x V1
# 1: a 47
# 2: b 63

myfunc <- function(arg1, arg2){
  arg1+arg2
}
func <- 'myfunc'

DT[, Reduce(func, mget(mycols)), by = x]
#     x V1
#  1: a  6
#  2: a  6
#  3: a 11
#  4: a 17
#  5: a  7
#  6: b 15
#  7: b 17
#  8: b 10
#  9: b 11
# 10: b 10

A: Yes you are missing something (well, it's not really obvious, but careful debugging of the error identifies the problem). Your function expects named arguments arg1 and arg2. You are passing it arguments y = ... and z = ... via do.call (which you have noticed). The solution is to pass the list without names:
> DT[, do.call(func, unname(.SD[, mycols, with = F])), by = x]
    x V1
 1: a  6
 2: a  6
 3: a 11
 4: a 17
 5: a  7
 6: b 15
 7: b 17
 8: b 10
 9: b 11
10: b 10

A: Here is a solution that helped me to achieve what I want.
func <- 'sum'
mycols <- c('y','z')
DT[, do.call(func, lapply(mycols, function(x) get(x))), by = x]
#    x V1
# 1: a 47
# 2: b 63

One can pass to it base functions or custom defined functions (not so specific as with Reduce solution).

Clinton, Trump go head to head in final presidential debate
Trump refuses to say he will accept election results
Threatening to upend a basic pillar of American democracy, Donald Trump refused Wednesday night to say he would accept the results of the November election if he loses to Hillary Clinton. The Democratic nominee declared Trump's resistance "horrifying." Trump has spent the days leading up to Wednesday night's presidential debate warning voters that the election will be "rigged." Asked whether he would accept the results, he said, "I will tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense." Earlier, Clinton forcefully accused Trump of favoring Russia's leader over American military and intelligence experts, as the Republican nominee pointedly refused to accept the U.S. government's assertion that Moscow has sought to meddle in the presidential election. Watch: Donald Trump wouldn't commit to accepting the election results In a combative exchange in the final presidential debate, Clinton charged that Russian President Vladimir Putin was backing Trump because "he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States." Trump denied any relationship with Putin and said he would condemn any foreign interference in the election. But he notably refused to accept the intelligence community's assessment that Russia was involved in the hacking of Democratic organizations. The Clinton campaign has also said the FBI is investigating Russia's involvement in the hacking of a top adviser's emails. Watch: Hillary Clinton calls Donald Trump Putin's "puppet" The third presidential debate opened with a measured, policy-focused discussion — a stark contrast to the heated and highly personal clashes that defined the earlier contests. However, Trump quickly reverted to his previous style of repeatedly interrupting Clinton as well as moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News. The 90-minute contest in Las Vegas came just under three weeks before Election Day and with early voting underway in more than 30 states. The candidates outlined starkly different visions for the Supreme Court under their potential presidencies, with the Republican declaring that the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion would be overturned by his judicial nominees. Clinton vowed to appoint justices who would uphold the ruling legalizing abortion, saying, "We have come too far to have that turned back now." Watch: Donald Trump says he would overturn Roe v. Wade Trump pressed Clinton on immigration, accusing her of wanting an "open borders" policy, a characterization she vigorously disputes. The Republican, who has called for building a wall the length of the U.S.-Mexico border, said that under a Clinton presidency, "People are going to pour into our country." Clashing on trade, Trump said Clinton had misrepresented her position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, noting that she had originally called it the "gold standard" of trade agreements. Clinton shot back that once the deal was finished, it didn't meet her standards. "I'll be against it when I'm president," she said. For Trump, the debate marked one of his final chances to reshape a race that appears to be slipping away from him. Clinton's campaign is confidently expanding into traditionally Republican states, while Trump's narrow electoral path is shrinking.

LAS VEGAS —
Threatening to upend a basic pillar of American democracy, Donald Trump refused Wednesday night to say he would accept the results of the November election if he loses to Hillary Clinton. The Democratic nominee declared Trump's resistance "horrifying."
Trump has spent the days leading up to Wednesday night's presidential debate warning voters that the election will be "rigged." Asked whether he would accept the results, he said, "I will tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense."
AP Fact Check: Trump, Clinton face off in 3rd debate
Earlier, Clinton forcefully accused Trump of favoring Russia's leader over American military and intelligence experts, as the Republican nominee pointedly refused to accept the U.S. government's assertion that Moscow has sought to meddle in the presidential election.
Watch: Donald Trump wouldn't commit to accepting the election results
In a combative exchange in the final presidential debate, Clinton charged that Russian President Vladimir Putin was backing Trump because "he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States."
Trump denied any relationship with Putin and said he would condemn any foreign interference in the election. But he notably refused to accept the intelligence community's assessment that Russia was involved in the hacking of Democratic organizations. The Clinton campaign has also said the FBI is investigating Russia's involvement in the hacking of a top adviser's emails.
Watch: Hillary Clinton calls Donald Trump Putin's "puppet"
The third presidential debate opened with a measured, policy-focused discussion — a stark contrast to the heated and highly personal clashes that defined the earlier contests. However, Trump quickly reverted to his previous style of repeatedly interrupting Clinton as well as moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News.
The 90-minute contest in Las Vegas came just under three weeks before Election Day and with early voting underway in more than 30 states.
The candidates outlined starkly different visions for the Supreme Court under their potential presidencies, with the Republican declaring that the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion would be overturned by his judicial nominees.
Clinton vowed to appoint justices who would uphold the ruling legalizing abortion, saying, "We have come too far to have that turned back now."
Watch: Donald Trump says he would overturn Roe v. Wade
Trump pressed Clinton on immigration, accusing her of wanting an "open borders" policy, a characterization she vigorously disputes. The Republican, who has called for building a wall the length of the U.S.-Mexico border, said that under a Clinton presidency, "People are going to pour into our country."
Clashing on trade, Trump said Clinton had misrepresented her position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, noting that she had originally called it the "gold standard" of trade agreements. Clinton shot back that once the deal was finished, it didn't meet her standards. "I'll be against it when I'm president," she said.
For Trump, the debate marked one of his final chances to reshape a race that appears to be slipping away from him. Clinton's campaign is confidently expanding into traditionally Republican states, while Trump's narrow electoral path is shrinking. Already unpopular with a majority of Americans, the GOP nominee has been battered by recent revelations of his vulgar comments about women and a string of sexual assault allegations.

The Plana Cays are a group of two small uninhabited islands in the southern Bahama Islands, located east of Acklins Island and west of Mayaguana Island. The indigenous Lucayan people called the islands Amaguaya, meaning "toward the middle lands".

The eastern cay was the last natural habitat of the Bahamian Hutia, a species of rabbit-sized rodent. It was thought to be extinct until 1966, when a population was found on the Plana Cays by biologist Garrett Clough. Hutias have since been transplanted from the Plana Cays to other parts of the Bahamas.

The Plana Cays have been suggested as the first landfall of Christopher Columbus in the New World.

Q: NuxtJs SSR configuration i have a question about nuxt js SSR configuration. I think nuxtjs is SSR in default. But SEO experts say my project is CSR. I make some research and learn that nuxt have modes 'spa' and 'universal' In my nuxt.config.js file i found this line of code:
export default {

....

if i will make it 'universal' my project will work SSR? or i need to make extra some configurations?
  export default {

honestly, I want to tell you that we have almost nothing left to lose, I tell myself that the project can be a great idea but we'll have to be careful.
Do you think the project is a good idea?
I wanted to wait at least a bit before i start, maybe even until the next "Site Members" update hits.
But good to know that someone out there got my back.
I couldn't do a better job than you, but if you need help, I'm here. Although it's time, my life is a little complicated, I can always help a little.
There once was a so called "Outreach Team" or "QUAESITOR" on this side.
As fare as i could tell that team would go to other wikis and try to draw in members to this side.
As fare as i can tell the admin staff never discontinued this program officially.
What i will try to do is to reach out to members of this wiki, who have not posted anything (anywhere).
With a bit of luck they are not tied to another side already. This means with a bit of attention they could call the Insurgency there first wiki. A Wiki-Home so to speak.
We know that they want to be part of the Insurgency and we can assume that they read at least the rules.
This is ideal. What better candidates for new active members could there be?
There are some downside to this.
In the worst case we create a destructive troll bend on destroying this side.
More likely is that if things go south we will lose a passive member.
I think the benefits outweigh the costs here.
I will start operation "Project In-reach" in the next few days if nothing changes. I can only do so much alone, so i will start very small. I am also not what adminestration would call a good "Used-Car-Salesman".
Me being the face of the Insurgency is not a Job i ever thought would fall on me.
So, nice people who can read this and think they could do a better job than me, now is the time to tell me.
There once was a concept on this side named "Mini-Tales".
Sadly the evidence of them has all but faded.
As i understood it, these were tales that were deemed to short to be proper tales. Once they were posted the author usually did not expand on them for a while, but when he/she did expand on it, the mini-tale would be re-tagged into a tale.
A mini-tale was something else than a work in progress. It stood on its own and was maybe even regarded as finished by its author.
In another thread, i played with the idea of a "Concepts Log", but i think mini-tales would be the better format to achieving the same purpose.
I am sure many authors have a workflow where they know a concept, but do not want to write a full article or tale.
The pieces are there, they are just not put together.
Sadly most authors do not write down these concepts or do not publish them.
On the other side we have authors that write the item first before having thought there concept through.
Both extremes lead to frustration.
I am not advocating to put mini-tales on the main site without a quality check. What i do wish for is that these concepts are written down and sandboxed.
At this point i would call this item abandoned.
The author has aborted all communication to this side and has moved on to other projects.
considering how easy this problem could be fixed with "transparent Black Bars".
If you had not self up-voted i could have let this thing slide and not vote on it, but as it is this is no longer an option.
I still wish for the item to be fixed and finished and i am still willing to help.
But as I said at the beginning, you have to rework the article a little, but don't deprive yourself of your way to write.Follow Meta's advice, while incorporating your way to write and tell a story. Don't stick to much to the advice, it is a help, but it still is your article.
Your main problem is still intact. The horror is still censored out.
Was addressed and is off the list.
Was addressed, but i hesitate to scratch it off the list. Imagine you have to flip 2 coins when ever you go to work and if both are tails you die. This problem has to be cleared up, through further research.
Not addressed, still on the list.
Was addressed and is off the list. I think you robed yourself of some major story potential with your solution. This could have gotten in the directions "We might have a way to communicate with it.", "Who gets the prize, us or the Foundation?" or "How dose one survive with a target on there back inside the hunted woods for 5 years?".
You effectively took the Foundation off the board, so addressed and off the list.
This leaves your main problem, number 3 and maybe number 2.
I still think this should be sandboxed before moving further. Move your creation back into the sandbox so that the conversation may be had over there.
I would also once again like to discourage the practice of "save and continue". It makes it harder to track progress on a project.
I attempted to update the item's file according to your recommendations.
The concept is workable, but i think you need to perform some re-calibration before the pieces is ready for posting.
Currently you run into the "censored the horror out" problem. As this anomaly is mend to be used as a security feature i can see why some information needs to be redacted, but to allow the reader to know what is going on this information should be noted somewhere. If i only know human and something else, i have no clue what i am actually supposed to envision. There is a high chance that whenever an article says, "Elevated Clearance Required" on a collapsible/tab that this segment will contain the information not found within the main article.
"Not recommended" and "punishable by immediate death" should not be used interchangeably. When the Insurgency writes "Not Recommended" into there procedures what they actually say is "This is dangerous and possibly stupid, but we would really like to see the results, go ahead we wont stop you."
"consume any intruders" This makes it difficult to build a base with this security feature since your security has no trigger and would not let the construction crew do its job.
When i first read the additional supplements, i actually misread them, too. In my version there was a doctor stumbling through the woods for 5 years, who has now become part of the locale wildlife. Sadly it turned out that the man was just some guy who betrayed the CI 5 years ago and now runs with the Foundation.
The Foundation knowing about the location of an anomaly with these characteristics they usually survey the area, which means that on-site staff better duck and cover, because when the Foundation knows where the anomaly is, they know where Base 88 is, which means they will be on there roof within the next 10 minutes.
I hope that we can get this item ready, but as it is, it still needs some fixing before i can up-vote it.
I think the Admins are slipping again.
With the new members list once again standing still for 30 days i restart this clock.
There is currently no emergency, so i will not sent a PM as to not dull that specific blade.
Could just one admin please post something to confirm there continued attention to this wiki?
Considering the precedent i would say we moved closer to the void.
Should it be necessary i will enact the 2th phase of this plan.
This timer before the enactment of stage 2 will be set to 30 days, counting from today.
Note: This timer will not be stopped by a changed "Members List". I wish to know which admin is still active or if more than one is currently active, should the "Members List" be updated. The members list can be considered a faulty measuring tool, as maybe we just did not received applications in the time frame in question. Relying only on this tool for measuring admin activity just shows how underused "recent contributions" and "recent posts" of admin profiles are.
During Stage 2 I will send PMs to urge for a response. Should my PMs stay unanswered for 30 days this will start Phase 3.
During stage 3 I will move forward and ask the Admins of Wikidot to grant me the Admin Status on the Main Site, Sandbox, Image Database and Falchion Valley.
All sitting admins would still keep there admin status until they ether step down themselves or are inactive for 2 years or are voted out by a 4 week long majority vote by the other siting admins.
Should an emergency occur i will speed up the steps described above.
Best Case: The Admins (even one) come(s) back. Hurray, success.
Worst Case: The Insurgency runs without administrative staff for n days (90 or less) before someone takes over.
If there is someone else in line before me i will not try to take his/her place in line.
This is the plan as it stands now.
If someone has a better plan please detail it or any changes able to improve this plan below.
I act in complacency with the section Emergency Powers as described in the Site Protocol.
Should there be further concerns about my qualification as they were last time this topic was brought up, than the win condition of at least one admin showing any sign of activity has already been reached.
The generator thing could be resolved in (at least) two ways.
I don't believe the possibility of "Limitless, Transportable, Free Energy" can just be ignored.
Thank you for explaining the thing about the generator, is it okay If I keep it as a field tool? I designed this piece for the mace to be used in demolitions and target elimination, I hope it's alright to keep it that way.
And as for the other problem's I'll try my hardest to shorten the 'Hazard' section further, and I'll also work on making the image look older.
It's also a great point that The Foundation isn't THAT bad at their job, I'll make sure to revise the history section.
Accessibility is in the eye of the beholder, so if you think it can work like that, that is your call to make.
As for the generator, may i direct your attention to the standard combustion engine. This picture in particular (only used on the German version of the Wikipedia entry). Since your anomaly dose not produce an even kickback (like a regular explosion) one would have to add the same image mirrored horizontally on top of this image and allowing the anomaly to swing up and down within this engine (restrained by a frame if necessary). Add the item where OT points to now. No need to add fuel. Just start the engine by swinging one wheel and the machine dose the rest.
When people think explosions most think destruction. I think car engine.
I have not read the edits yet so if this explanation misses something that might be why.
Good work on the report section. I still think that my points on formatting for your "Hazard" entry still applies.
If you intent to stick to the "photo taken in 1972" angle you might still need to increase the image quality and you would have to add some filter. The old analog cameras worked rather well. But if anything that would be a finishing touch and i think no one will put your article under the same intense scrutiny as me.
To something different: Do you plan to elaborate on the history of the item? The Foundation usually dose not get sloppy.
Alright, I've changed the weight of the object, and the trigger force needed. Fixed the hazards section, and added a "Reported Anomaly" row. I've also altered the report section to include the appropriate information.
I would like to mention a few things, however. Firstly I think that keeping the image at this quality will add to the idea that it was taken upon recovery by an agent with a camera. And it's also my belief that altering the specs of the item to be more simply understood by potential readers may take away from the quality of the piece as a whole, and I understand that it's a matter of accessibility, and understandability, but most readers can enjoy and properly understand for the most part what is written without fully understanding the physical science behind it. If any individual is interested in more fully understanding the specs, they can investigate it on their own terms.
I'm also somewhat confused about what you mean when you say this item would be better as a generator tool, I understand that it is, in its mechanics, a perpetual motion device, however, I fail to see how this could be used to provide much of substance in a controlled setting to provide power. It is better suited for destruction and demolition.
Besides these things please advise me on any other problems the piece has.
Reading there rules i thought, yes, a classic short-lived off-shot, but than i went through some of the members of the side and non of them are affiliated with this side.
Considering how different the tone is i would not suggest to contact them.
Just read parts of there how-to and you know what i mean.
It is a different direction one could follow from the same base idea, so i thought i should share this, just for completion.
Please use the "Preview" function and not the "Save & Continue" function.
It floods this side, which I need to keep an eye on things. Using the "Preview" option would also make comparing versions of your draft a lot easier for me.
I think you overshot the compression of the image.
Stretching a 233 to a 300 visibly reduced the image quality.
As i said above, a compression to 900 or even 600 would have been sufficient.
Hazards has gotten quite bit. These boxes usually use key points separated by comas instead of full sentences.
"The item is a …" followed by a short description and the mentioning of its anomalous effect.
I think i know what you try to do with the item, but as it stands, this thing would make for a better generator than a field tool. Maybe it needs a limiter to stop it from becoming just a very efficient generator.
If more comes out than goes in you might be dealing with a perpetual motion reactor and i don't think that it was planed as such.
Also we might need someone with not as much knowledge of forces to check the way you have written down your conversion rates. I can read them just fine, but someone less familiar with the subject might not understand it.
Also according to this side dropping the mace will never generate a blast. So if you want to keep "accidental activation" on the table as a possible side effect you might need to lower the level were the effect triggers or increase the wight of the mace.
EDIT: I could be wrong on this one. You might need to reconsider the way it is described when the effect triggers. Maybe newton is not the proper unit there. "Velocity" might be better suited for this task.
Okay, I've updated the entry. I hope I've properly addressed the problems you pointed out to me. If there are any other issues you have please let me know.
Your item works for the most part.
You do have some problems. The first one a reader will notice is the load time of the image.
I looked at the data of said image and i don't believe a 1900 source image compressed down to a 300 site image is appropriate.
Next, the format screw of the top boxes.
Question-marks do not fit the format, as do containment procedures.
The containment should be part of the report portion.
The potential/current hazards segment should be used to give the reader a scope of things that might go wrong.
The warning currently occupying that box dose not provide that. Nuclear levels of destruction however is very much a potential hazard that should be mentioned there.
How dose one apply 6.6 kg of force? I think you mean ether an acceleration (m/s²) or a force in Newton ((kg*m)/s²).
I would also advise against the use of PSI. Please referee to Pascal.
The Insurgency uses the metric system so please don't use "Pounds per square inch".
You should also untangle your "Usage". Some of the things in there definitely belong in the "Report" portion.
Please referee to the questions provided in the standard format template.
A funny side effect of your choice not to write a "Report" section is that, without the picture, there is no description of the item. Considering that this is definitely not a "normal" hammer design i would like to see some elaboration on that fact (Maybe this was just how hammers looked during a particular time, but i (or another reader) don't know that).
Also welcome to the Sandbox.
Welcome to the laboratory of creation.

De National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA, in het Engels doorgaans uitgesproken als "N-C-Double-A") is een Amerikaanse
non-profitorganisatie waarin ongeveer 1.200 instellingen, sportcompetities, organisaties en individuele personen verenigd zijn. De NCAA organiseert de sportprogramma's van colleges en universiteiten in de Verenigde Staten. Het NCAA-hoofdkwartier is gesitueerd in Indianapolis (Indiana). Mark Emmert werd in 2010 aangesteld als voorzitter.

De NCAA is 's werelds grootste organisatie op het gebied van college- en universiteitssport. Door de populariteit waarop collegesport in de VS kan rekenen, is de NCAA een prominent sportorgaan. Vermeld moet worden dat ingevolge de Amerikaanse sportcultuur, sport op universiteiten in de VS een belangrijkere rol speelt dan in Nederland of België. In veel gevallen mag het niveau als (semi)professioneel worden aangemerkt.

Geschiedenis
De voorganger van de NCAA, de Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS), werd op 31 maart 1906 opgericht om regels vast te leggen voor amateursport in de VS. De oprichting werd bespoedigd door toenmalig president Theodore Roosevelt, als reactie op het toenemend aantal zware blessures en doden in het American Football op colleges en universiteiten. In 1910 werd de IAAUS omgedoopt tot de NCAA.

Tot in de jaren tachtig werden er geen vrouwensporten aangeboden. In plaats hiervan controleerde een organisatie, genaamd de Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), de universiteitssport voor vrouwen in de VS. In 1982 boden alle NCAA-afdelingen nationale kampioenschappen voor vrouwen aan en stapten de meeste AIAW-leden over naar de NCAA.
In 1973 splitste de NCAA haar lidmaatschap in drie divisies: Divisie I, Divisie II en Divisie III. Divisie I en Divisie II-scholen kunnen sporters beurzen aanbieden voor het spelen van sport. Divisie III-scholen mogen geen sportbeurzen aanbieden. In het algemeen komen de grotere scholen uit in Divisie I en kleinere in Divisie II en III. Divisie-I werd voor wat betreft het American Football in 1978 onderverdeeld I-A en I-AA. De term I-AAA werd in het leven geroepen als predicaat voor Divisie I-scholen zonder een American Footballprogramma.

Voorzitters
 Walter Byers 1951–1988
 Dick Schultz 1988–1993
 Cedric Dempsey 1993–2002
 Myles Brand 2003–2009
 Jim Isch (interim) 2009–2010
 Mark Emmert 2011–heden
 Charlie Baker vanaf 1 maart 2023

Sporten en kampioenschappen
De volgende universiteitssporten zijn onderhevig aan de regelgeving van de NCAA:

De universiteiten van Californië (UCLA) en Kentucky zijn bekend om hun honkbalteam. De Duke universiteit, de universiteit van Kentucky en de Universiteit van North Carolina hebben de meest succesvolle basketbalteams. De universiteit van Alabama, de Universiteit van Southern California, de Universiteit van Notre Dame, de Universiteit van Michigan, de Ohio State Universiteit en de Universiteit van Texas zijn het meest succesvol in American football. hetzelfde geldt voor de universiteit van Arkansas en UCLA op het gebied van atletiek, op het gebied van worstelen hebben de universiteiten van Oklahoma en Iowa een reputatie hoog te houden.

By H. G. Wells
While I think Frankenstein deserves its ranking as the first science fiction novel, I give H. G. Wells pride of place as the father of the genre. Not because Wells was always the first (though he often was), but because he established the great archetypes of so many stories. Every alien invasion harkens back to The War of the Worlds, and in The Time Machine he invented time travel, whose long history James Gleick recently explored so well.
It was always part political allegory, and it's interesting how much of that has stayed with us. The ambiguous myth of the Morlocks still crops up everywhere in popular culture, which is perhaps not so surprising given rising rates of social and economic inequality in our own time. At the end of the nineteenth century progress was being called into question, and degeneration being posited as just as likely an evolutionary outcome. A similar sense of decline seemed to set in at the end of the twentieth century, and has carried over into our own "automatic civilization." The Time Traveler brought a warning from a future we're waking up to.

By Mary Shelley
Frankenstein is, I think by broad consensus, the first science fiction novel. Yes, the science is only glanced at, and in the 1831 edition is actually played down to the point where it's unclear even in the most general terms how Victor Frankenstein gives life to his creation. But it's clear that Victor isn't using black magic to raise the dead, and as a type of the mad scientist he would go on to have a long life within the genre. Such figures aren't punished by God or the gods (indeed we can't even be sure if either Victor or his creation has read the Bible) but instead must be judged by the results of their experiments. After all, Victor can't really help himself when it comes to pursuing his passions. Elizabeth is such a cold figure — more sister than lover — and he's so lonely. The Creature is his true love, albeit of the type one regrets in the morning.

By J. G. Ballard
Is it science fiction? Well, it's prophetic. It describes itself, paradoxically, as a vision of "a future that had already taken place, and was now exhausted." Shouldn't that mean that its particular dystopic vision is now passé?
Not quite. This is a novel that juxtaposes the shallow surface of modern life with its lower depths, inviting all kinds of obvious Freudian and Marxist interpretations. The abyss, however, abides, which is why we continue to see so much of ourselves in the residents of the high-rise. Their need for comfort and security, for example, and their selfishness and narcissism are drives no less important than their unleashed libidos. Wilder's camera would be a cellphone now, but otherwise it seems very familiar.
As a vision of the end of the world High-Rise is as resonant now as ever. This may well be the way the world ends: locked inside our dirty apartments, drowning in our own filth, and each of us (even, or especially, those of us with families) entirely alone. If not happy, at least content.

Make Room! Make Room!
By Harry Harrison
No, soylent isn't people in this 1966 novel, which was the basis for the 1973 film Soylent Green. In fact, the movie didn't have much to do with Harry Harrison's book at all, aside from the general message about overpopulation.
Reading it today, I find that message to be the least pressing part. We're no longer so hung up on contraception, and the big scary numbers don't impress. In the novel, on the eve of the millennium the population of the U.S. is 344 million and the global population 7 billion. It took a bit longer, but both numbers have been surpassed. The population of NYC is high at 35 million (it's only 8.5 million today), but it's not out of the ballpark for the global champs.
Instead, what still seems most relevant is the vision of a future running out of resources (fresh water, oil, food, living space), and the enormous gap between a very small elite and the miserable masses. Both the material and moral collapse of society are nicely realized in a naturalistic tale of crime and punishment that still has teeth.
The Midwich Cuckoos
By John Wyndham
The Midwich Cuckoos spends a lot of time locating Midwich in relation to the roads that lead in and out of it and its proximity to neighbouring communities, but I was at first confused as to when it was set. It was first published in 1957 but for some reason I thought it had been written earlier. The town itself is described as existing in a "thousand-year doze," and it has the same cozy air of 1930s golden age detective fiction that triggered Brian Aldiss's "cosy catastrophe" critique of The Day of the Triffids. There's no reference to any war, past or present, or much in the way of technology. In short, it could be taking place at any time, though certainly not anywhere.
You then notice odd things you wouldn't see in a cozy novel, though they are still only suggested. The minister's wife has had an abortion. The town has a lesbian couple. And as for the aliens, they're either sex tourists or practical jokers looking to punk homo sapiens.
It's an odd mix of what are familiar elements, used again by Wyndham to dramatize his favourite theme of the incompatibility between evolving species. Humanity is something that needs to be surpassed, but only over our dead bodies: a stark message that seems to have become more relevant in our own time.

Kurt Vonnegut: The Complete Novels
By Kurt Vonnegut
Kilgore Trout, a prolific author of paperback SF, is a reccurring character in Kurt Vonnegut's writing. Though not commercially successful, Trout's books endure hard use, turning into bundles of paper resembling "lopsided old softball[s], swaddled in different sorts of tape."
If that describes the condition of the Kurt Vonnegut paperbacks on your bookshelf, and it probably does, you might want to treat yourself to this deluxe edition of all fourteen of his novels published by the Library of America. Every title from Player Piano (1952) to Timequake (1997) is included, along with a nice selection of stories, essays, introductions, and other material wrapped up in a four-volume box set.
Vonnegut's attitude toward SF was ambivalent. On the one hand he was aware of how it could become a dangerous drawer for an author to be placed in, "since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal." He was, however, always drawn to SF as a form of satire, and often used it to explore aspects of our relation to consumer culture and technology that remain relevant today.

R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)
By Karel Čapek
It's ironic that what R. U. R. is best known for today is its introduction of the word "robot" into the English language, when the meaning of that word has changed so completely in the years since. Čapek's robots aren't machines but vat-brewed organic constructions. Politically, they are Marx's proles, Wells's Morlocks, or plantation zombies: human facsimiles who function as a servile underclass so that a new global aristocracy can be liberated from labour.
Of course things don't work out. R. U. R. is a comedy of unintended consequences: as humans are freed from labour they find themselves redundant, to the point where they even (voluntarily!) give up breeding. Evolution has been directed to a dead end, and humankind, which Nietzsche thought something to be surpassed, has finally suffered that fate, having engineered itself into a position of superfluity. Meanwhile, our inheritors are left with nothing to do but to continue mass-producing crap for which there is no longer any market. The new Adam and Eve have inherited a sterile wasteland. This is the real singularity we are working toward, and, in retrospect, the best our civilization could do.

'Complicated': Truth behind key Covid stat
Eight-week old baby dies with Covid
A NSW Police officer died after she heroically attempted to rescue a young woman who was swept into a whirlpool in the Blue Mountains.
Emergency services were called to Wollangambe Canyon, Mount Wilson, about 2.30pm on Saturday, after the two women disappeared in the Wollangambe River.
The bodies of Senior Constable Kelly Foster, 39, and the 24-year-old international student were found about midday on Sunday. They were recovered by police divers.
Witnesses said Senior Constable Foster attempted to rescue the younger woman, who had been tipped off an inflatable lilo when it was swept into the whirlpool.
The student, who had been living in the Sydney suburb of Chiswick, is yet to be formally identified and police are waiting for confirmation that family members have been notified.

Senior Constable Foster had most recently been stationed at Lithgow, in the Central Tablelands.
She was a 10 year veteran with the force who had previously battled breast cancer and survived, NSW Police Acting Commissioner Mal Lanyon said.
"To hear reports that Kelly was trying to help another woman when she died demonstrates her commitment to the community she served and the ability to put the needs of others before her own," he said.
"Above all, Kelly was a kind and loving daughter, sister and partner."
Others paid tribute to Senior Constable Foster on social media, with one post remembering her as a "selfless and compassionate individual".
"RIP my old academy mate," the Facebook post read.
"You will now be remembered as a hero."
There were also calls for the respected police officer to be honoured with a posthumous award to recognize her bravery.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Australians are gearing up to take on more debt, despite one in two households indicating that another rate hike would negatively impact their finances.
According to the latest Dun & Bradstreet Consumer Credit Expectations Survey, 20 per cent of households expect their debt levels to increase in the coming months, 23 per cent expect to apply for new credit and 13 per cent intend to make an application for a limit increase on a current account.
Meanwhile, 49 per cent of households are indicating that an increase in interest rates would negatively impact household finances.
The survey found that certain demographics (18-49 years and those families with children) are more likely to experience financial stress, with these two groups having significantly higher proportions of people anticipating a need to use credit to pay for otherwise unaffordable expenses and indicating that another interest rate rise would negatively impact their household finances.
The report also found that this demographic also intends to make major purchases in the months ahead and they are more likely than others to fund their purchase using an interest free deal.
Dun & Bradstreet's chief executive officer Christine Christian said the apparent lack of concern about the consequences of unmanageable debt levels is worrying.
"Australia lived up to its reputation as the lucky country during recent global economic events however, our resilience as a nation and our relative lack of pain compared to other developed nations may have resulted in a failure to learn some important lessons," Ms Christian said.

HomeArticlesContainer Shipping Lines Smash Profits Made by Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google
Container Shipping Lines Smash Profits Made by Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google
Liner shipping is now earning more dollars than many of the the best known names in Big Tech.
John McCown, the founder of Blue Alpha Capital in the US, has tallied liner shipping's combined profits for the third quarter and put them in perspective by comparing them to the stars of the internet such as Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google who collectively are known by the acronym FANG.
The $48.1bn in Q3 container shipping profits was almost 50% higher than total FANG profits and the 42.7% net income to revenue margin was almost three times higher. Compared to earnings of Apple and Microsoft combined, container shipping industry profits were still almost 15% higher with a profit margin that was almost 30% higher underscoring just what a terrific, record year carriers have enjoyed, with the sector on track to post combined profits in the region of up $200bn.
"The hockey stick turn in the recent results of the container shipping industry is unparalleled in its own history. Indeed it's hard to recall any industry that has turned so sharply upward in its net financial performance," McCown stated in a new report issued over the weekend.

South Korean line HMM reported net profits up a staggering 9239.2% in Q3 2021 at KRW2.27trn ($1.92bn), compared to KRW24.6bn a year earlier. With revenues up 133.7% to KRW4.02trn in Q3 2021, from KRW1.72trn during the same period of 2020, net margin stood at 56.5% in Q3 this year.
German line Hapag-Lloyd reported Q3 profit of EUR2.83bn ($3.24bn) compared to EUR252m in the same period in 2020. Profits for the first nine months of 2021 were EUR5.56bn, up from EUR538m a year earlier. Revenues rose in the first nine months of 2021 by around 70% to EUR15bn.
French-based CMA CGM, one of the world's largest container lines, said net profit rose to US$5.6 billion in the third quarter from US$567 million in the same period last year, while core EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization) earnings rose to US$7.1 billion from US$1.7 billion.
Maersk's in Ocean, results in Q3 were driven by high freight rates in an exceptional market situation with revenue almost doubling to USD 13.1bn from USD 7.1bn, EBITDA increased by USD 4.4bn to USD 6.3bn and EBIT improved by USD 4.4bn to USD 5.3bn.

Q: Spring Boot Security does not throw 401 Unauthorized Exception but 404 Not Found My authentication is based on a spring-boot-security-example.
When I enter an invalid token, I would like to throw a 401 Unauthorized exception. However, I always get a 404 resource not found instead. My configuration sets an exception handling but it is ignored - probably because my AuthenticationFilter is added before and the request does not reach my exception handler.
What would I need to change to throw 401 exceptions instead?
I have a authentication filter:
public class AuthenticationFilter extends GenericFilterBean {

...

@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
    HttpServletRequest httpRequest = asHttp(request);
    HttpServletResponse httpResponse = asHttp(response);
    Optional<String> token = Optional.fromNullable(httpRequest.getHeader("X-Auth-Token"));

    try {
        if (token.isPresent()) {
            logger.debug("Trying to authenticate user by X-Auth-Token method. Token: {}", token);
            processTokenAuthentication(token);
            addSessionContextToLogging();
        }

        logger.debug("AuthenticationFilter is passing request down the filter chain");
        chain.doFilter(request, response);
    } catch (InternalAuthenticationServiceException internalAuthenticationServiceException) {
        SecurityContextHolder.clearContext();
        logger.error("Internal authentication service exception", internalAuthenticationServiceException);
        httpResponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
    } catch (AuthenticationException authenticationException) {
        SecurityContextHolder.clearContext();
        httpResponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED, authenticationException.getMessage());
    } finally {
        MDC.remove(TOKEN_SESSION_KEY);
        MDC.remove(USER_SESSION_KEY);
    }
}

private void addSessionContextToLogging() {
    ...
}

...

private void processTokenAuthentication(Optional<String> token) {
    Authentication resultOfAuthentication = tryToAuthenticateWithToken(token);
    SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(resultOfAuthentication);
}

private Authentication tryToAuthenticateWithToken(Optional<String> token) {
    PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationToken requestAuthentication = new PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationToken(token, null);
    return tryToAuthenticate(requestAuthentication);
}

private Authentication tryToAuthenticate(Authentication requestAuthentication) {
    Authentication responseAuthentication = authenticationManager.authenticate(requestAuthentication);
    if (responseAuthentication == null || !responseAuthentication.isAuthenticated()) {
        throw new InternalAuthenticationServiceException("Unable to authenticate Domain User for provided credentials");
    }
    logger.debug("User successfully authenticated");
    return responseAuthentication;
}

a AuthenticationProvider implementation:
@Provider
public class TokenAuthenticationProvider implements AuthenticationProvider {

@Override
public Authentication authenticate(Authentication authentication) throws AuthenticationException {
    Optional<String> token = (Optional) authentication.getPrincipal();
    if (!token.isPresent() || token.get().isEmpty()) {
        throw new BadCredentialsException("No token set.");
    }
    if (!myCheckHere()){
        throw new BadCredentialsException("Invalid token");
    }

    return new PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationToken(myConsumerObject, null, AuthorityUtils.commaSeparatedStringToAuthorityList("ROLE_API_USER"));
}

...

}

and a configuration which looks as follows:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http.
            csrf().disable().
            sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS).
            and().
            anonymous().disable().
            exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(unauthorizedEntryPoint());

    http.addFilterBefore(new AuthenticationFilter(authenticationManager()), BasicAuthenticationFilter.class);
}

@Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
    auth.authenticationProvider(tokenAuthenticationProvider());
}

@Bean
public AuthenticationProvider tokenAuthenticationProvider() {
    return new TokenAuthenticationProvider();
}

@Bean
public AuthenticationEntryPoint unauthorizedEntryPoint() {
    return (request, response, authException) -> response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
}
}

A: I solved it by adding the following annotation on my top-level @SpringBootApplication class:
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration.class})

Could Spring Boot have trouble finding its default error page?

A: In addition to the above answer, I modified my code to achieve 401, previously I got 500 on an invalid or missing token.
public class JwtAuthenticationTokenFilter extends AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter {

    public JwtAuthenticationTokenFilter() {
        super("/secure/**");
    }

    @Autowired
    private JWTService jwtService;

    @Override
    public Authentication attemptAuthentication(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) throws AuthenticationException, IOException, ServletException {

        String header = httpServletRequest.getHeader("Authorization");

        if (header == null || !header.startsWith("Bearer ")) {

            httpServletResponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED,
                    "Please pass valid jwt token.");

        }else if(jwtService.validate(header.substring(7))==null){

            httpServletResponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED,
                    "jwt token is invalid or incorrect");

        }
        else{

            String authenticationToken = header.substring(7);

            JwtAuthenticationToken token = new JwtAuthenticationToken(authenticationToken);
            return getAuthenticationManager().authenticate(token);
        }

        return null;

    }

}

A: I found the answer in this thread: Return HTTP Error 401 Code & Skip Filter Chains
Instead of
httpResponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED, authenticationException.getMessage());

I need to call
httpResponse.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);

It seems like the chain will stop when I don't continue calling it and by setting the status to a different code - the exception is thrown correctly

A: I know it is an old question. I am just adding this if it is convenient to any other.
@Bean
public AuthenticationEntryPoint unauthorizedEntryPoint() {
    return (request, response, authException) -> response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED, HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED.getReasonPhrase());
}

It should work as well. I just called another overloaded method of sendError()

Periodical: Tales of Enchantment
Tales of Enchantment; Or, The Book of Fairies.
A Collection of Original Stories of Magic, Necromancy and Fairy Land.
1836--1836 Weekly
Editor: Thomas Peckett Prest.
Publisher: G[eorge] Drake, 12 Houghton-street, Clare Market.
1/1, September 15, 1836-December 15, 1836.
8pp., illustrated and numbered sequentially, 1d.
Twelve numbers survive although more were certainly published or planned since the last breaks off with a promise to complete the story. This serial and its innumerable companions among the Penny Bloods and Penny Dreadfuls of the 1830s on is included here because much of its content is distinguishable from later "occult" material only by its acknowledgement, implied and not expressed, that the material was fiction and entertainment, and because these Gothic accounts prepared the popular background for the appearance of the avowedly non-fiction accounts of spiritualism and the occult. The Penny Bloods are the first cheap, popular production of the wave of "Gothic" literature that had swept England from the 1770s on, priced, because of advances in printing and engraving, for the masses of the newly literate and later more explicitly for children. Beginning in the mid-1830s, probably 100 or more publishers moved into the new field of serialized tales of wonder, horror, mayhem, adventure, pirates, gypsies, brigands, ghosts, demons, vampires, the Wild West, mysterious foreign princesses, Orientalism, tales of the Border and the Seraglio, murderous baronets, gentlemen highwaymen, distinguished from their more upscale three-volume competitors by their price, brevity and garishness. They also featured a delicate salaciousness, more apparent in the illustrations than in the text, in stories like Vice and its Victim: or, Phoebe, the peasant's daughter, and Victin of Seduction. The most popular of the Penny Bloods ran for four years and more and bragged of selling 30,000 copies each week (£2,500 a week). Thomas Peckett Prest (1810-1859) was one of the earliest and most prolific authors of the genre. He was a musician and denizen of the theater who wrote first for George Drake and then for Edward Lloyd, for whom he produced (as "Bos") dozens of volumes of plagiarized and parodied versions of Dickens' works: Life and adventures of Oliver Twiss, the Workhouse Boy, Pickwick in America, Barnaby Budge, Nickelas Nickelbury, Penny Pickwick, etc.
This serial, constrained by its title to feature fairies, combined them with magicians, lost princes, temples of fire, magic stars, enchanted serpents, caliphs, spirits and water-spirits and their secret court, genii, demons, sylphs, astrologers, mysterious allusions to the unexplained, romance, etc.
