The much-hyped Hudson H9 9mm pistol combines the best features of 1911s and striker-fired pistols.
Fine glare-reducing serrations lead to the H9's Trijicon HD front sight.
Note the forward slide serrations and Picatinny accessory rail.
Also note the pistol's VZ G10 grip panels and checkered grip frame.
The H9's grip and trigger are inspired by the venerable 1911, yet the pistol is designed to run 15-round 9mm magazines.
The magazine well also has a slight bevel for fumble-free reloading.
The H9's sleek styling looks good while being highly functional. At the range, the pistol was easy to draw from a Blade-Tech holster and present toward steel targets for fast split times during timed drills.
The recoil spring is nestled lower in the steel frame, ahead of the triggerguard. Also note the barrel's front locking lug, which contacts the takedown pin.
The pistol's rail provided a solid base for shooting off a Millett Bench-Master. But even off-hand, the H9 was accurate, reliable and light on recoil.
In 2016, a small firm that few people knew about created quite a stir when it sent out an e-blast for its new semi-auto pistol. Dubbed the Hudson H9, the new gun was touted as a marriage between the 1911 and a striker-fired pistol. Its dramatic profile and sculpted contours generated intense interest among firearms industry professionals.
I have to admit that I was one of those people who stood in line for over an hour at the SHOT Show Range Day to hold and shoot the new H9. I'd received the e-blast announcement and scoured the company's website every couple days looking for more information. After handling the H9 and firing one magazine of 9mm rounds through it, I was convinced that it was indeed a combination of the best aspects of a striker-fired gun and the 1911. But what I found even more interesting are the design features that borrowed from neither parent's lineage.
The H9 was designed by husband-and-wife team Cy and Lauren Hudson, who created Hudson Manufacturing and spent four years' worth of research, development and just plain hard work. When Cy, a West Point graduate, was in his last year of duty with the Army, the couple tried to figure out what to do next. But they both shared a passion for shooting.
The H9 is a semi-auto 9mm pistol with a 15+1 capacity. It's obvious that the grip angle and magazine release are 1911 inspired, as is the trigger. After stripping the gun, I found that the barrel did not have a link like a 1911, or even a fixed cutout like the Browning Hi-Power. The low placement of the single recoil spring also left me with questions. These two features are neither 1911 nor striker-gun inspired and are the basis for a number of patents.
Cy responded, "We wanted to drop the barrel as close to the hand as possible, and we wanted it to be a short-recoil- operated pistol. We didn't want to change a system that has been trusted for decades, especially in today's market. We also know a traditional Browning link or link-less lockup would have taken up real estate where we needed to eliminate it. So, we moved it forward and placed the big front locking lug where it would contact the takedown pin.
With the barrel cam moved forward and down to engage the takedown pin, there wasn't room for a recoil spring in the traditional location. Cy continued, "We could have gone the route of the Walther P5 and put two nested recoils springs along the grooves, but that would have made the gun really wide and bulky, so we moved it down and utilized the space in front of the triggerguard." The location of the single flat recoil spring and guide rod gives the H9 its distinctive appearance.
Hudson machine-checkers the H9's frontstrap with a very fine pattern to give the shooter a secure firing grip without being so coarse as to tear skin or catch on clothing. The magazine well is flared for quick reloads; a relief cut at the front of the mag well can help a shooter remove a stuck magazine. The grip panels are G10 like the backstrap, which has fine checkering near the bottom. There's even a relief at the heel for a lanyard, and the magazine release is reversible.
Even though the H9 is a striker-fired gun, the trigger feels very much like a 1911's. It is a non- pivoting trigger that tracks straight back. My test sample's trigger broke at 4.5 pounds with just a little bit of take-up and almost no overtravel. Hudson has also equipped the gun with a trigger safety that pivots at the trigger's bottom instead of near the trigger's center. This was one of the ongoing refinements the Hudsons made during the gun's development. Lauren had problems disengaging the safety because her fingers naturally went to the bottom of the trigger. So, it was moved and now shooters will disengage it instinctively without compromising their trigger pull. Rather than placing a small blade in the center of the trigger, Hudson made its trigger safety blade as wide as the trigger shoe for better comfort.
Finally, Hudson equips the H9 with great sights right out of the box. Cy told me they use the same front and rear sight cuts as those on the S&W M&P pistols. This means you can easily add aftermarket M&P sights if you wish. That being said, the H9 uses a Trijicon HD front sight with a tritium insert surrounded by a florescent orange ring that draws the eye's focus to it like nothing else I have used. The rear sight possesses a U-shaped notch, and the front sight almost seems to center itself. It's a slick setup, and I don't think anyone would need to change these sights.
All of my accuracy testing was doneat 25 yards, shooting from a DOA Tactical Bench and using a Millett BenchMaster for support. I was able to get a rock-solid hold on the H9's sights as the flat light rail on the gun's frame was wobble free on the BenchMaster. I was able to keep the sights on target as I pressed the H9's trigger straight back.
Aguila's 115-grain FMJs took honors for the smallest group, with five shots clustering into 0.61 inches. This is economically-priced range ammunition, and its accuracy was a pleasant surprise. It fed and cycled fine in the H9. Another pleasant surprise was the NovX 65-grain ARX load. Using a copper/polymer bullet weighing just 65 grains and loaded into a stainless steel case, this load had a velocity just a few feet per second shy of 1,800 fps and generated a whopping 466 foot-pounds of energy. My best five shot group with the Novx rounds measured just 0.72 inches. It also cycled flawlessly, but the felt recoil was much lighter than even the 115-grain rounds. I used a wide variety of bullet weights—each with a different overall length and profile, and the H9 was flawless with every load I tried.
For the field portion of my testing, I used an MGM BC-C Zone steel target, which approximates a USPSA target with the D-zone removed. At 15 yards, I would draw and fire the H9, attempting to place two hits on the target with the shortest amount of time between shots. Using a PACT electronic timer to measure my splits, or time between shots, I fired 25 double-taps using Precision Delta's 124-grain JHP rounds. My times ran from 0.16 to 0.23 seconds, with the average being 0.19 seconds. It's been many years since I was an active competitor and practiced this exercise regularly, yet the H9 made these quick double-taps seem effortless.
I attribute this to two factors. First, the placement of the H9's recoil spring not only reduced the gun's torque but also its muzzle flip. I was back on target quicker than I have ever been with any type of handgun. Secondly, the trigger has a positive reset. There's nothing mushy about it, and I never experienced any trigger freeze. The H9's sights were also a big help.
Hudson Manufacturing ships the H9 with three 15-round magazines. The magazines use a polymer follower and basepad that can easily be removed for cleaning. My test sample also came without a manual safety. However, the Hudsons informed me that manual thumb safeties will be available shortly. They also said owners will be able to install them easily. I like the gun as it was set up, but it's nice to have the option of a thumb safety.
Overall, I am very impressed with the H9. With over 400 rounds through it, I have yet to have any sort of failure or stoppage. It possesses an uncanny degree of accuracy and excellent ergonomics. But I think it is the gun's engineering that made me want to own it. It's one thing to innovate, but taking an idea from concept to production is a different matter. My test sample exhibits an exemplary degree of fit and finish so well executed that it's hard to imagine this is the company's first year in production. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for this young couple and Hudson Manufacturing!

Microsoft Announces IoT and Intelligent Edge Solutions for Device Partners at Computex
By Kurt Mackie
Microsoft announced enhancements this week at Computex, an IT event in Taipei aimed at hardware partners building Internet of Things (IoT) and "intelligent edge" devices.
Most prominent at the event was a 70-inch partner-built intelligent edge device known as a Windows Collaboration Display. It's a new device described as a multitouch collaboration tool that incorporates Microsoft Office and Microsoft Teams applications, along with having a whiteboard capability for drawing on the screen. On display at Computex was Sharp's Windows Collaboration Display device. Sharp's product and another such device built by Avocor are expected to be available "later this year."
Windows Collaboration Display vs. Surface Hub
The Windows Collaboration Display device is maybe a surprising market entry. For instance, Microsoft had always distinguished its Surface Hub videoconferencing devices from partner-built Skype Room Systems precisely because Surface Hub devices also include Office and whiteboard capabilities, along with Skype for Business unified communications support.
At this point, Microsoft's Computex announcements didn't provide enough details to understand the differences, if any, between a Windows Collaboration Display and a Surface Hub device.
Microsoft's Skype for Business videoconferencing-device partnerships first began under its "Project Rigel" effort, which also supports partners building solutions for legacy conferencing devices. Microsoft is already working on its new Surface Hub 2 products, with product availability expected next year.
IoT Spatial Intelligence
Windows Collaboration Display devices can use Microsoft's new "IoT spatial intelligence" capabilities, which let developers tap environmental data. Microsoft described IoT spatial intelligence in this announcement as supporting room systems, for the most part. For instance, information collected by sensors might be used to manage a building's heating and cooling, or it might be used to provide information on how room spaces can be used.
Partners can build "spatially aware solutions" using these IoT spatial intelligence capabilities, and they can use artificial intelligence (AI) to "correlate data from across the digital and physical world," the announcement indicated. Microsoft listed 11 partners using IoT spatial intelligence capabilities for things like workplace design, improving commercial property use, facilities management, building controls and construction projects.
Microsoft also conceives of IoT spatial intelligence as being useful for supporting so-called "smart cities," facilitating transportation, traffic and public safety operations.
The Intelligent Edge
To support its partners, Microsoft announced a new Intelligent Edge Partner Community, with sign-up located at this page. It gives partners early access to "documentation, specs, OS builds and certification details," Microsoft indicated.
Microsoft means a whole lot when it uses the phrase "intelligent edge," with a heavy emphasis on the use of AI by devices. On May 3, during a pre-Build online press briefing, the intelligent edge term was defined by Kevin Scott, Microsoft's newly appointed chief technology officer, formerly of LinkedIn.
Scott was asked about the main difference between intelligent edge (introduced by Microsoft at last year's Build event) and edge computing (which has been described over the past two years) and what the Azure roadmap is on intelligent edge. Here's Scott's reply, which is nuanced enough to be quoted in full:
I think edge computing sometimes is a little bit confusing because sometimes people think that this is something you are doing in the CDN [content delivery network], for instance. But when we are thinking about the edge, it's sort of the full environment. It's connected to the periphery of the cloud. So, it could be like an Azure Stack that's sitting in a corporate datacenter all the way down to like maybe this mouse you've got on the desk here that has a microcontroller that's connected. And that's increasingly going to be the case over the next several years. So, as the silicon becomes even more powerful and cheaper, it's just going to just sort of flow everywhere and we're finally going to get to this notion of ubiquitous computing. But it's not just the connectivity and the sort of availability of powerful compute. It's that the compute itself is getting powerful, especially along this dimension of AI inferencing. So, once you have a trained model, the inference part is like how the model, once it's deployed, makes decisions about recognizing an object or translating spoken language into text that you can do something with. And this is going to become a necessary component of how you write your software on the edge. So, you're going to have to have this AI layer in order to build the user experiences, whether it's conversational AI or gesture-based or just sort of building software that's able to incorporate all of the sense information that all of the individual compute nodes are gathering to do intelligent things in the environment. So, that's literally why we call it "the intelligent edge," because we think that the AI component is the inextricable part of where this technology trend is going.
Windows 10 IoT Core Services
Microsoft also announced a "limited preview" of a new Windows 10 IoT Core Services offering for partners at the Computex event, as described in this announcement. It facilitates management for Windows IoT Core operating system-based devices, adding "the ability to manage updates for the OS, apps, settings and OEM-specific files." Moreover, the service comes with "10 years of support" and follows a long-term servicing channel update model, Microsoft explained.
The management under Windows 10 IoT Core Services happens via a new Device Update Center, which shares the same content delivery network used by Windows Update. The Device Update Center lets organizations "create, customize and control device updates," and they can test updates before applying them broadly via a "flighting" capability. In addition, Windows 10 IoT Core Services has a Device Health Attestation Azure cloud service capability that checks devices at the boot-up stage, where malware can be lurking. The Device Health Attestation service lets organizations deny network access to devices or they can re-image problematic devices.
Windows 10 IoT Core Services, when available as a product, won't be a free support offering, although Microsoft plans to continue to offer a free version of its Windows 10 IoT Core OS under the semiannual channel update model. Microsoft expects to release "a broader preview" of Windows 10 IoT Core Services next month, with "general availability" (or commercial release) planned for "later this year."
Microsoft claimed that its Azure cloud computing network, numbering 50 regions worldwide, gives it the ability to support "ubiquitous computing." Elements of it include:
Azure Stack for hybrid computing environments, a combination of dedicated hardware and software that's considered to be "an extension of Azure" for use by organizations
Azure IoT service for supporting IoT devices
Azure IoT Edge service for enabling "devices on the edge to act on their own and connect only when needed"
Azure Sphere, Microsoft's new microcontroller unit silicon product addition for powering IoT devices with added security
Microsoft is also touting Project Brainwave, which is "programmable hardware" that can be used to speed up AI calculations on the edge.
Always-Connected PCs
In other partner hardware device news, Microsoft noted that Samsung is yet another equipment vendor that has joined the effort in building "Always-Connected PCs." Other hardware partners that have committed to building them include Asus, HP and Lenovo.
An Always-Connect PC runs ARM-chip-based processors, such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon Mobile processors for PCs. These devices can run Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications, as well as Win32 applications via emulation (but not 64-bit apps). They also have long battery lifespans and can be joined to an organization's domain.

If you have devoted your life to writing about Mustangs, there are certain models you're honored to write about. For the dude clicking at the keys on this laptop, writing about Bob Hahn's '92 SAAC MK I presents that opportunity. I fell in love with the SAAC cars when they first came out, since I am in the Fox Mustang generation.
Rich Kopec, president of the Shelby American Automobile Club, had the idea to build the SAAC cars, and had Carroll Shelby's blessing. All the MK I's, like this one here, were all white with blue stripes. The MK II's were built as '93 models, but all of them actually had '92 Ford VINs. The MK II's were available in the white with blue stripes, red with white stripes, and black with gold stripes. The MK II was also available as a convertible.
It was pretty hot for its time; a GT-40 intake on top of GT-40 heads with custom SAAC valve covers and even goodies like shorty headers and underdrive pulleys make up the special SAAC engine upgrades.
Bob's SAAC MK I has just 77 miles on it. An unbelievable feat of restraint if you ask us Fox fanatics!
The MK I came with GT-40 heads, a GT-40 intake, a 65mm throttle body, underdrive pulleys, ceramic-coated shorty headers, and Borla "low-restriction mufflers." Furthermore, the cars came with Koni adjustable shocks and struts, a heavy-duty clutch, a Hurst shifter, four-wheel disc brakes on a five-lug conversion, Simmons wheels, and front brake ducting. The MK I also featured custom leather upholstery, and the Le Mans and side stripe package. For all of this the MK I stickered for … ahem ... $39,995. Bob opted for the Kenwood stereo system with CD player, and a remote keyless security system to arrive at $42,394. MK I total production arrived at 30 cars.
Bob Hahn of Maryland belonged to SAAC when the cars debuted at the SAAC convention in Charlotte back in 1990 or 1991, he can't remember, and is still a card-carrying member today. He had a friend of his at the convention and when said friend came home he showed Bob the brochure on the SAAC MK I that he had picked up at the convention. There was a credit application as part of the sales brochure, and Bob sent his in right away. Obviously, as you can see, Bob was approved. Bob is still amazed that he was able to buy the car using personal checks. He gave an $18,000 check to Gorno Ford, and then a $24,000 check to the SAAC Car Company, and Bob picked up the car at Watson Engineering.
The SAAC featured custom upholstered stock seats and door panels. You'll also notice the SAAC four-point bar with custom stitched and matched covering as well.
The SAAC MK I was delivered with a full hatch of goodies, including a car cover, leather travel bag, and more.
Bob's SAAC MK I was so special that the dealer had it on display in their showroom before Bob took delivery of it. Here, in a photo provided by Bob, he poses with his SAAC MK I behind the red ropes the dealer setup to keep people from getting too friendly with the $40K car, which was a huge amount of money for a car at that time.
Bob had never even pulled a car trailer before, but he drove from Westminster, Maryland, bought an enclosed trailer in White Pigeon, Michigan, picked up the car, and towed it home. For Bob, "It was that Carroll Shelby had returned to a Ford product." That's what made Bob buy the car. And he liked the design, and he liked the Fox Mustang. Lightweight, he liked the interior, and he had to have one. Bob was a police officer (he's retired now), and he even took a home equity line of credit to buy the car. "The interest rate was lower," Bob says. He really wanted the car pretty bad.
"I figured it would be a special car, and with his Boss he would always hear about people who owned lower-mileage cars, and he didn't want to hear the same about the SAAC car. "I drove it once to go get a pizza, and I got caught in a heavy downpour. I waited till it quit raining, drove it home, and haven't really driven it since." His Boss has 77,000 miles since that was his primary transportation back at that time. That explains the SAAC car's 77 miles. Guess it doesn't leave the house very often.

London police arrest 45 people during the European Football Championship final
British police said they had detained 45 people after clashes between fans and law enforcement officials at Wembley Stadium, which hosted the Euro 2020 final between Italy and England.
London police said, on Sunday evening, in a tweet via "Twitter": "We carried out 45 arrests while carrying out policing tasks during the European Championship final today."
The tweet added: "A number of police officers remain on duty helping fans to leave Wembley or central London."
The match ended with Italy's victory over England in the tournament on penalties, and limited disturbances began near Wembley before the match, especially after a group of fans tried to infiltrate the stadium precincts, to resume limited riots in the streets of London after the loss of the England team.
Activists on social media also published video clips showing England fans attacking Italian fans.

Whenever I hear someone say that we simply can't afford to "deal with" climate change or such things as our oil dependence, I like to mention Y2K. We really have no idea how Y2K might have affected our global economy or our everyday lives. Why? Because we treated it as a serious threat and worked to prevent it - globally and locally.
I heard many people complain that it was a "boondoggle" that wasted time, money and resources. However, I also remind people that NOT ONE business went under as a result of complying with necessary changes to prevent shut-down from Y2K. Not one. And really, more businesses were created - whole new areas of technology brought into mainstream use (online storage, anyone?) due primarily to a concerted effort by industry to protect itself against this nebulous threat.
Certainly it was a costly undertaking, and it changed the way many companies did business - for a while, at least.
This is how we need to think of climate change and our energy use.
It is true that "we the people" have to realize that we are to blame for the destruction of the environment. It is convenient to blame others but it is us. Ouch! That hurts. But we need to face the truth.
Thanks for that painful and important breminder, John. Your blogging ministry is so prophetic and so important. Thanks.


Buy Twitter Followers :Order Now!
Social media is a valuable element in online marketing as it helps in building customer base, brand recognition and search engine rankings. Among other social networking sites, Twitter is one of the frequently visited and used by users throughout the world. Many Twitter users aim to gain huge followers. However, it is not that easy to get more followers by just simply waiting them to follow you. That is why most Twitter users take the route to buy Twitter followers. Before buying followers it is important to know the pros and cons of buying Twitter followers.
Reasons to Buy Twitter Followers?
Bandwagon syndrome – If real users see your Twitter account rising, most likely they will follow you. That is why if you will buy Twitter followers they may seem robot followers, but they can generate real followers.
Cheaper and easier – It requires time and effort to gain real Twitter followers. You also need to share great content, broadcast latest news and post hilarious and witty remarks consistently to drive followers. However, by purchasing followers you can obtain huge number of followers overnight in exchange for dollars.
It's legal – Purchasing robot Twitter followers is not bad because it is completely legal. It is just like paying for promoted hashtag that you are using in Twitter marketing practices.
Knowing those reasons would tempt you to buy Twitter followers. However, before you make your decision, you should ensure to find sites that offer real services. You should be aware that there are sites that are scams and they just want to catch desperate marketers. Having fake followers may also be harmful to your account as it can damage your real followers by phishing, hacking and infecting real followers.
Moreover, if you will buy Twitter followers there is a risk for ruined reputation and public humiliation. There are tools that you can use in purchasing Twitter followers. Though it is legal, but it can damage your reputation. That is why no matter how eager you are in obtaining the huge number of Twitter followers you need to be very careful in choosing the follower.
There are two approaches of buying Twitter followers and you can even find cheap followers. If you will purchase cheap Twitter followers you will end up getting bland bot accounts. However, if you will buy costly services you can expect for finely polished profiles with bios and pictures. Why you should buy fake followers if there is an option to buy real ones.
You can use software to buy real followers. The software is responsible in searching and finding Twitter users with similar interests as yours and you can follow them and vice versa. The last thing that you should do is to find the sites selling real Twitter followers. Make sure that they are credible so that your money will not be wasted.

    printf("Remainder is: %ld",decimalToBinary(rem));
    getch();
}

I was working  with the program to perform division between binary numbers. But
the program execution stops after 6th statement. I tried to change the variable types but still having problem.
Output of the program execution is here.
Output

A: You have an infinite loop problem in your binaryToDecimal function.
int binaryToDecimal(long binarynum){
    int decimalnum = 0, temp = 0, remainder;
    while(binarynum!=0){
        remainder = binarynum % 10;
        remainder = binarynum / 10;
        decimalnum = decimalnum+remainder*pow(2,temp);
        temp++;
    }
    return decimalnum;
}

Where's the part that changes binarynum variable? See, it never changes in the loop so it can't ever be 0. Your loop runs forever.

A: Your binaryToDecimal function runs in infinite loop. Try the function below instead.
int binaryToDecimal(long n)
{
    int decimalNumber = 0, i = 0, remainder;
    while (n!=0)
    {
        remainder = n%10;
        n /= 10;
        decimalNumber += remainder*pow(2,i);
        ++i;
    }
    return decimalNumber;
}

Q: imake on mingw or on windows I have a fully developed and operational application on linux. Now I have been asked that I adapt the application for windows.
The simplest way I found is using mingw. However, I am confronted with the problem that a part of the application depends on imake. Of course, I could start from the makefiles generated by  imake  and from there to solve.
But before that, I would ask if there is any wrapper or support (although partial) for imake on windows  and how it could be adapted to mingw

2004.05.30 - MuchMusic.com - Reloading The Rock With Velvet Revolver (Slash, Duff, Matt)
by Blackstar on Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:33 am
Thanks to @Surge for sending us this article!
RELOADING THE ROCK WITH VELVET REVOLVER
We hit the Velvet Revolver press conference and got the dirt on the band that brings together three past members of Guns 'N' Roses – Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, together with former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland and ex-Wasted Youth axeman Dave Kushner.
So, how did a group of musicians from some of the hottest bands that rocked us in the 90s find a frontman to help them unleash their renewed lust for Rock N' Roll fury?
Matt Sorum: Slash, Duff and I have obviously played together before and there is a chemistry that is undeniable. The power and energy brought us back together.
Dave Kushner: The four of us had time to get comfortable with each other, then Scott came in the room [and] we were like 'This is the guy!'
Scott Weiland: I just wanted to be in a rock band with people that want to f**king do it, and go out there and be in a f**king rock band
When the opportunity arose, it just ended up giving me that kinda feeling that I [had when I] formed my first band – and that was just way too exciting to pass up. That was what it was all about. It was like falling in love.
They've all been in successful bands before, so how does this compare?
Slash: What we're doing right now, from the second that it started and now that we're finally touring and getting onstage, I can't compare it to anything. Even in my old days when Guns was still cool, which was a great time in my life - which anyone would give their left/right limb, or even their d*ck, [or] whatever for. And the people - even Duff who I've known forever, it's like a new relationship. It's very explosive and fulfilling. It's like twenty thousand orgasms rolled into one.
Duff: Slash and I met when we were 19 years old and we've basically been connected at the hip since. Now, the 5 of us share that unity.
Scott: Music is like the soundtrack, the energy of life, for musicians anyway. I think that music is the soundtrack for human beings. I believe in my heart that Rock 'N' Roll, for people like us, is the energy that fuels us. It's a volatile mix that creates a chemical reaction and that just inspires me to do anything.
Is a younger generation thirsty for Rock N' Roll?
Duff: I have the unique perspective of [recently] going to university. Kids would come up to me - and it was like they were ripped off. 'Our generation doesn't have a rock band. We don't have Rock N' Roll.' They're buying records that are 10-20 years old cause they don't have anything. So there is this whole new generation that is just starving for something that is pure.
With the advent of [record label] mergers, labels are owned by huge umbrella corporations with stockholders. [In the past, labels] could nurture a band album by album and build up a band. You couldn't do that from 1995 on. You had to have an album that sold a million copies out of the box or you're gone. That, in turn, made all of these pop paint-by-numbers f**king bulls**t garbage. That is what was spoon-fed to a whole generation. There will be revolt at some point. There will be change. Music is about passion and it gives you hope and all kinds of things. It gives you your own special thing when your boss is being a f**king a**hole or when you're getting beat up at school.
Slash: I think most kids would rather get beat up at a rock concert than at school. The think is that music is about a sense of freedom. When the corporate f**kers get a hold of it, all of a sudden it becomes very contained, predictable and loses expression and honesty.
Matt: There is such a resurgence of Rock 'N' Roll. A lot of people missed that part of their lives. A younger audience seems to want that and that's what we have to offer.
So what would these rock gods tell fans who look up to them and want to follow in their footsteps?
Scott: Musicians have a general respect for each other. It doesn't really matter who's on a higher pedestal – there's a giving and sharing of information and general respect.
Slash: Our biggest thing is that we look up to each other. [We want to] always be growing and not get stagnant. That is something we have to do for ourselves. For anyone looking up to us, all that they can do is be true to themselves as far as being an artist is concerned."
Matt: We're inspired by new bands - like Queens Of The Stone Age. They're a great band that came along and actually kicked Rock 'N' Roll in the ass again. They brought back music we needed to hear. It's also nice to hear Jet. I think a lot of problems with younger bands are that they try to emulate one band. They'll want to be the next blink-182. If young musicians listen to more than one thing, they'll stand out.

The first jarring note in this episode was Amanda's statement that Sarek banned her from showing her love for Spock which seems totally at odds with Sarek's statement that he wanted Burnham to teach Spock empathy. Surely if he wanted Spock to know empathy the best person to do that would be his own mother.
Second was a secret organization that carries around distinctive identity items, way to go on secrecy.
I have no problem with the extraction of the parasite from Tilly what ever it's rights it has none to invade another person's body.
I really object to the show runners pandering to the treker extremists into not using the tech we can imagine existing in our future because it could not be portrayed in the sixties. Should we also have the shaky sets, the rubbish fx and the ham acting as well? In my opinion if they have such a problem with the show then they should just go away and watch reruns of TOS.
Karen Chuplis
I agree. I can wave it away but frankly the jarring notes to me are the attempts to "fix" the things "fans" complained most about. I'll take it for a while but I hope they drop attenpting to satisfy everyone that has an issue that it's toonadvanced it the aliens are too alien-y.
I dont know that Satek banned it. I think she said strongly discouraged emotional response. Frankly I am not a mother but I know moms and it's give an inch take a mile. That's where Burnham would have been a safer choice to teach empathy. I highly doubt Amanda would have been able to just issue just so much response and no more. In fact mothers pretty much often can't distinguish when their children have had enough emotion rained on them. Of course, Sarek's reasoning also comes from a pure Vulcan standpoint no matter how much he is attracted to humans. He's not going to be the best decision maker there.
Re: the pod I wanted to say I totally agree with Valerie on the relationship between Tyler and L'Rell. He's devoted to her cause but he does not have his feelings about perceived abuse at all sorted out. I doubt he ever will. But he is desperate to belong. He says as much to Georgiou at the end, which is why he was so willing to make a family and hope he might be able to find his way to a different relationship woth L'Rell. (Which boy, nope nope nope. Glad they didn't even try that. Bad idea. All around ).
I thought Georgiou's protestations about children were a bit.....strong. Makes me wonder if she had another child than her adopted daughter. (L'Rell's deadpan "I'll take that advice under advisement" (or thereabouts.) was hilarious. But also as funny as Georgiou's but with Ash at the end she she started to twinkle at the baby and then reverted to "exasperated not caring" when he caught her at it, I wonder if they aren't setting up that she has more Prime Georgiou than she'd care to admit in her.
Yeah she looked really into the baby till ash looked at her I must admit I laughed out loud at that .
Valerie H.
@kev may @Karen Chuplis Thanks for the shout-out! I think that with Georgiou they are going for a "evil emperors from the mirror universe hate babies - see, we told you they were evil!" and it can come off a bit strong. That being said, I think the mirror universe is a place where "coming off too strong" and ham acting are still very much welcome and alive, and I enjoy it! I do wonder how Georgiou feels about puppies, though...
Oh my gosh you guys. Just rewatching and ....are the "people" that Capt. Vega says are on the case of finding Spock Section 31? And does Pike pick that up? Because he say "the 'people'" in a very quotation marked way.
My though after the episode is that Spock didn't escape but was extracted from starbase 5 by section 31 operatives and it was them who caused any fatalities or that the operatives tried to take Spock and he resisted killing them and then leaving because he was not safe there.
@kev may It didn't even occur to me but boy does it make sense.
G.L. McDorman
Oh, wow. Yes, this must be what's going on because otherwise we're just going to keep getting these stories about Tyler and Georgiou that won't have anything to do with what's happening with our Discovery crew.

Great idea, kev. I usually let the story come to me rather than trying to guess what will happen next, but the scenario you've proposed really makes sense to me. I did get the clue that Shazad (great name!) is going to continue to be on the show though, unfortunately, Mary Chieffo isn't since she is still listed in the credits as a guest star, whereas Shazad's name is in the title sequence. Too bad, she is quite the actress, and she did learn to speak Klingon with some fluency. I also hoped to see more of Kenneth Mitchell, but it looks like he's bit the dust for good.
I just discovered that Sarek National Park is located in Sweden. No lie. It's on the map.
Oh, wow, I had no idea. This is now on my list of dream mountaineering expeditions.
@Glenn Lower Decks field trip!

Best of Voyager?
I had missed some of the bonus content and am finally getting to your coverage of S1 ep1 Caretaker. I've really enjoyed it. I have seen the first 3 or 4 seasons back when they originally aired but haven't seen any since then. I can't say that Voyager stuck with me, it's my least favorite Trek. So my question for anyone is: What are the 5-10 best episodes of Voyager?
It's here! ST Picard teaser drops

In November, RGKNSE announced the release of the R-SIM 12. This incredible device is the latest in a long line of SIM Interposers and is capable of unlocking the iPhone 8, 8P & X. Additionally it can also unlock all other models of the Apple iPhone running iOS 11.1.2.
In a marked change of direction, RGKNSE designed the R-SIM 12 to exploit the ICCID unlocking loophole. This is the serial number of the SIM card. This engineering breakthrough warrants a huge amount of merit to the hackers and programmers who developed the new device.
Significant improvements to the latest R-Sim 12.
There are a whole list of improvements to the R-SIM 12. Below are the main changes.
Newly developed Infineon 309 chip.
Newly developed ICCID SIM serial based unlock mode.
Simple unlock procedure for 4G net running iOS 11 on the iPhone 8, 8P & X.
Immediately available default signal once interposer has been inserted.
The newly developed Infineon 309 chip is a 32k large capacity battery-saving chip. Features include the ability to deliver a stable signal and is much more secure. Additionally the Infineon 309 supports smarter updating and much higher performance speed.
VIDEO: How to unlock your iPhone 8, 8P & X Using the R-SIM 12.
What are the benefits of choosing an R-SIM 12 over an IMEI unlock?
For many people the R-SIM range has been a lifesaver. It has enabled thousands of iPhone users to get unlocked and using the network they want in double quick time. Most notably, this advanced little smart card is up to 10 times cheaper than an iPhone IMEI factory unlock. Also, it can be taken out and used in another iPhone if you have sold your current handset.
The low retail cost, speed to get unlocked and simplicity of use combine to make this a much more attractive option for many customers. Consequently, NetPal have sold thousands of these devices to customers in the UK and throughout Europe.
Additionally, the upgrade features mean that one Apple update their iOS it is possible to update the chip firmware. In conclusion, if you're looking to buy the R-SIM 12 and unlock your iPhone 8, 8P, X we will have them in stock over the coming weeks.


Acupuncture needles are thin metal filaments approximately the width of several hairs. The sensations patients experience during treatments range from nothing at all to a fleeting ache or pinch in the area being needles. During treatment, most people will experience a shift to a calmer, clearer, less troubled self. Many people are amazed by how relaxed they feel during and after treatment and consistently, people report a heightened sense of well-being.
Yes, as long as it is performed by a competent practitioner, acupuncture is extremely safe. Acupuncturists are required to use disposable needles that are discarded after one use.
What are the benefits of acupuncture, and what conditions are treated with acupuncture?
Acupuncture is also helpful for many chronic illnesses and health concerns that have no clear origin or cause. Patients committed to a healthy lifestyle who receive ongoing acupuncture treatment for maintenance and health promotion often experience being sick less often and recovering more quickly, improvement of vitality and stamina, being able to take care of their own health, relationships with others becoming more harmonious and reductions in long term health care costs.
Do I need to be ill in order to benefit from acupuncture treatment?
Absolutely not. Many patients come for regular treatments to prevent illness and to maintain a vital state of health throughout the year.
There are a few plans that cover acupuncture. If you do have coverage, I am able to give you a superbill to be reimbursed from your insurance company. Many people have flex spending accounts using pretax dollars that cover acupuncture treatments, effectively lowering costs by 30%.
Cash, check, Visa and MasterCard are the accepted forms of payment.
This is unique to the individual. For most chronic conditions, at least 5-7 treatments on a weekly basis tend to offer the best outcome. Some people notice an immediate improvement in their health while for others acupuncture tends to have a cumulative effect over several visits.
Does the clinic offer Chinese herbs? If so, what kind?
Yes, I use Chinese herbal remedies that consist primarily of patent herbal formulas, which come as granulated capsules, tablets or tinctures. The clinic also offers customized herbal powdered blends.
During your initial assessment of a patient, do you check pulse points on both wrists and check the tongue for possible problems?
Yes, the pulse reading done in my clinic includes extensive palpation of points along both the left and right wrist. This is a very important dimension of Chinese medicine and it informs my treatments and treatment planning with each patient visit. It is an essential part of treating underlying patterns of illness or disharmony. Similarly, I use tongue analysis for yet another source of insight into the body to help treat the root cause of illness. Pulse reading and tongue diagnosis are part of what make Chinese Medicine a truly preventive therapeutic model of health care. Signs of imbalance will generally show up in the pulse and on the tongue long before there is a physical symptom. This allows early intervention. In the case of illnesses that have developed substantially and present with difficult symptoms, these diagnostic techniques help me to get to the root condition much more quickly and effectively.

Q: Laravel insert record with one to many relationship I have two tables car_category and vehicles and set the car Id as foreign key constraint of vehicles table's c_id.Now I want to add vehicles to vehicles table with the relationship.So I want to store the vehicle details,How 'ld I add the fk constraint to my controller?
I've set the relationship between tables like,
In Car model,
class car extends Model
{
    protected $guarded = [];
    protected $table = 'car_category';

    public function vehicles()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('Vehicle');
    }
}

Vehicle Model,
class Vehicle extends Model
{
    protected $guarded = [];
    protected $table = 'vehicles';

    public function cars()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('Car');
    }
}

And store vehicle details like,
public function store(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'vehicle_no' => 'required',
        'vehicle_company' => 'required',
        'vehicle_category' => 'required',
        'vehicle_type' => 'required',
        'vehicle_model' => 'required',
        'vehicle_capacity' => 'required',
        'vehicle_color' => 'required',
        'c_cid' => '',
    ]);

    Vehicle::create($request->all());
            return redirect()->route('vehicles.index')
                 ->with('success','Vehicle details stored successfully');
}

How to pass the fk constraint value?Can anybody help me?

A: Try adding the car field in you form, you can get the ID while saving the vehicle
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <select name="c_id" class="form-control">
        @foreach($car as $cars)
            <option value="{{ $cars->id }}">{{ $cars->Name }}</option>
        @endforeach </select>
    </div>

here you can get the value in
public function store(Request $request) {
    // here you can get the value
    $request->c_id;
}

Throughout human history scientists, designers and engineers have always looked to nature to provide them with inspiration. By closely observing Mother Nature's perfect systems, we can find solutions to highly complex industrial, architectural and technological design problems.
Examples of biomimicry can be found throughout the centuries, from the use of silk to create fabric which we learned from the silkworm to the pigeons that inspired the Wright brothers to create the first airplane. A more recent example is the remarkable Green Turtle project that is using ocean biomimicry to design robots to clean garbage from the oceans. The Green Turtle concept was so successful it won the Innovate for Sustainability competition run by design experts 3DS.
Drawing inspiration from nature allows us to create unique products and machinery that can help us to transform our world and improve our way of life. Innovators are now focused on using biomimicry to solve some of the most pressing issues of our era.
Biomimicry, what is it exactly?
Biomimicry can be said to be the combination of the elegance and efficiency of the natural world with powerful new design technologies to produce highly effective products, structures, and systems, according to EHL.
The origins of the term biomimicry began with Otto Schmidt, an American inventor and academic who described 'biomimetics' as the transfer of biological concepts to technological ideas. Biomimicry was in use in scientific circles in the early 1980s and was further popularized by author Janine Benyus in the 1997 book "Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature".
In one sense, biomimicry can be said to be the driver behind the oldest forms of human design and engineering, for example, early settlements that were carved from rock faces to mimic caves or the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, who was heavily inspired by birds, plants, and the natural world.
When describing biomimicry, one of the most common modern examples is the development of Velcro. Velcro was developed by Swiss engineer George de Mestral in the mid-1950s. de Mestral noticed that burrs had stuck to his clothing after a walk in the woods. The hooks used by the burrs to attach themselves to passing objects formed the basis of the hook and loop system used in Velcro.
Harnessing Nature's Power with Biomimicry
In the modern era, creators are still looking to the wonders of nature to provide them with inspiration. In fact, it may be the case that nature itself provides us with the solutions we require to reduce global warming and create more sustainable products and methods of production.
In nature, nothing is ever wasted. The output from natural systems is used to benefit the surrounding ecosystem. Engineers and designers are now concentrating their efforts on mimicking natural systems to come up with ways to reduce manufacturing waste, enhance product longevity, and make our cities more sustainable.
Some examples of the creative ways in which biomimicry is now being used include:
Sustainable building insulation made from mycelium; a substance found in mushrooms
Recyclable, PFC-free waterproof textiles that are based on natural liquid-repellent nanostructures
Data from the movement patterns of ants is being used to design better traffic flows on highways
Chemical cleaning products that emulate the workings of the human liver and can remove stains and dirt without the need for toxic substances
Termite mounds have provided the inspiration for more energy-efficient buildings (source)
Plants and sea creatures are being used as the basis for new architectural structures
The regenerative abilities of salamanders are being studied to ascertain the potential for medical use
How Biomimicry is Helping Us to Build the Future
As we strive to reduce carbon emissions and reach net zero, natural systems can provide us with the answers that we seek. Biomimicry techniques are employed by engineers and designers across the globe to develop astounding solutions to complex environmental and sustainability issues.
Combining biomimicry with cutting-edge 3D design software results in an incredibly powerful tool that engineers can use to develop remarkable new technologies. Companies can reduce their environmental impact by adopting an approach that incorporates biomimicry with advances in digitization such as 3D printing and Cloud computing. Nature continues to provide us with inspiration as new technology provides us with the tools to foster innovation.

Stefan Gallon (* 1951 in Wuppertal) ist ein deutscher Diplomat und war bis 2016 Generalkonsul in Dubai.

Leben
Nach dem Abitur absolvierte Gallon ein Studium der Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn.

Nach Abschluss des Studiums trat er 1978 in den Auswärtigen Dienst ein und wurde nach Absolvierung der Laufbahnprüfung für den höheren Dienst von 1980 bis 1983 zunächst an der Botschaft in Ägypten und danach bis 1986 an der Botschaft in Rumänien eingesetzt. Nach einer darauf folgenden Verwendung von 1986 bis 1989 in der Politischen Abteilung des Auswärtigen Amtes in Bonn in dem für Grundsatzfragen der Ost-West-Beziehungen, Konferenz über Sicherheit und Zusammenarbeit in Europa (KSZE), Delegation der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zu KSZE-Treffen in London und Sofia zuständigen Referat, war er zwischen 1989 und 1992 Mitarbeiter im Generalkonsulat in Houston und gehörte während dieser Zeit auch zur Delegation beim G7-Gipfel in Houston 1990 sowie bei dem KSZE-Gipfelvorbereitungstreffen in Wien (Juli bis November 1990) und dem KSZE-Gipfeltreffen in Paris (November 1990).

Danach war Gallon von 1992 bis 1994 Mitarbeiter der Botschaft in Litauen, ehe er nach seiner Rückkehr bis 1998 Referent in dem für die Britischen Inseln, Skandinavien, Baltische Staaten und den Ostseerat zuständigen Referat der Politischen Abteilung des Auswärtigen Amtes war. Im Anschluss war er zwischen 1998 und 2001 Botschaft Ständiger Vertreter des Botschafters in Thailand und daraufhin bis 2004 Referatsleiter in der Abteilung für Auswärtige Kultur- und Bildungspolitik.

2004 wurde er als Gesandter Leiter der Abteilung für Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft an der Botschaft in Japan und war danach Gesandter und Ständiger Vertreter des Botschafters in Tschechien.

Von 2010 bis 2014 war Stefan Gallon Generalkonsul in Guangzhou/ Kanton.
Im August 2014 wechselte er als Generalkonsul nach Dubai/ Vereinigte Arabische Emirate, von wo aus er im Sommer 2016 in den Ruhestand trat.

We know how the partnerships between automaker and timepiece manufacturers usually go. Mostly, it's the latter that comes out with a product bearing the former's image, likeness, technology, or a combination of any of these elements.
Swedish watch brand Arlanch, though, is taking a slightly different approach. They're looking into building a supercar concept, dubbed the Green Supercar Concept.
With the help of former McLaren F1 designer Peter Stevens, the Swedish watch brand is in the early stages of designing this green supercar concept. After already earning a reputation as a company that pays careful attention to being environmentally friendly, Arlanch is trying to venture in the automotive world with a vehicle that, based on these sketches, certainly looks the part of a supercar.
Details are still scarce at this point, but looking at the sketches you can make out a few details about the car, including its mid-engine layout, a large capsule-like roof, and a rear that looks like it has a large exhaust system. Slit-like headlights can also be seen, giving it that kind of supercar look that'll gain notice immediately.
Rest assured; we'll have updates about this new green supercar concept when more information becomes available.


Bake for 15-18 minutes, until baked through and slightly golden.
I HIGHLY recommend using a food processor to chop you veggies. This makes for a super nice texture in the meatballs.
I prefer to steam the broccoli before adding it to the recipe. I've tried grated raw broccoli and don't love the texture. Simply steam broccoli in a steamer basket for 3-4 minutes until slightly soft and still bright green. Be sure to finely chop for best texture.
Most people bake meatballs right on the baking sheet (lined with parchment paper), which works fine. I find that my meatballs cook a bit more evenly if I place them on a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet.
I use 1 tablespoon of coconut flour as a binder. You can sub any flour that you have like almond or cassava, but you will have to use at 2-3 tablespoons of any other flour. Start with 2 and add another if mixture seems too sticky to roll.

New Game Lets You Be a War Correspondent (PTSD, Drained Wallet Sold Separately)
Author: Andrew WebsterAndrew Webster
Warco is a first-person game where players shoot footage instead of a gun. A work in progress at Brisbane-based studio Defiant Development, the game is a collaboration of sorts; Defiant is working with both a journalist and a filmmaker to create a game that puts you in the role of a journalist embedded in a warzone. Ars spoke with Defiant's Morgan Jaffit to learn more about this political game disguised as an First Person Shooter.
[partner id="arstechnica"]
The game was actually the brainchild of someone outside of the studio. Tony Maniaty, an Australian journalist who has reported from regions like East Timor and post-Soviet Eastern Europe, envisioned the game as a sort of training simulator. He then began working on the project with filmmaker Robert Connolly, who directed the film Balibo, a political thriller about the deaths of Australian journalists during the conflict in East Timor in 1975. Eventually Jaffit and Defiant were brought into the project.
The game itself – the title of which is actually short for "war correspondent" – follows the story of journalist Jesse DeMarco. Players will experience the process of filming conflicts, going into dangerous situations armed with nothing but a camera. They will then edit the footage into a compelling news story. The scenarios range from intense bursts of action to quieter moments as you discuss the events of the day with fellow journalists in a hotel. Though the main mechanic will be filming the action, Warco is also very much about choice.
"It's also about navigating through a morally gray world and making decisions that have human impact," he explained. "It's about finding the story you want to tell, as each of our environments is filled with different story elements you can film and combine in your own ways. It's both a story telling engine and an action adventure with a new perspective."
The scenarios are designed to mirror the recent tumultuous events in the Middle East and North Africa, in situations cribbed from Maniaty's real-world experiences in the field.
A game that looks a lot like a first-person shooter but doesn't actually allow players to fire any bullets could potentially be difficult to market, and one unnamed publisher recently told the studio that "it's a hard sell to executives to suggest an FPS with no shooting, but this is definitely the sort of game we should be making, as an industry."
Warco has been in development for four months and Defiant is currently in talks with several publishers to try and bring the game to a wide audience. When that will actually happen, and on what platforms, hasn't yet been determined.
"We're optimistic that we'll find a way to make the project work as a commercial reality."

Q: cannot resolve symbol 'Twitter' - Twitter Fabric I have an issue while trying to make use of Twitter login for my little Android app, It keeps giving error saying Cannot find symbol 'Twitter' I have searched online for several solutions including this one below but not found any possible solution.
Twitter Fabric - Cannot Resolve Symbol
I have Cleaned, rebuild, even restarted my Android studio, tried to Re-Sync Gradle but no solution yet.
This is my Build.Gradle (Project) Below
buildscript {
    repositories {

        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        jcenter()

}

allprojects {
    repositories {

RIVERHEAD, N.Y., Aug. 8, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Fine artist Cindy Walton joins an elite selection group of artists in the 3rd National Juried East End Arts Exhibit, "The Creative Process." The Gallery show opens today and runs through Sept. 28, 2014.
An Asheville, N.C., abstractionist, Walton received an honorable mention for her painting, "Spill." Additionally, "Golden Reflection," was chosen for the Gallery show. Inspired by the inner landscape's relationship with the natural world, the works were rendered in mixed media/oil cold wax on board.
Guest jurors were Gerald Peters, owner of Gerald Peters Gallery in New York and Santa Fe, N.M., and Peter Marcelle, director of the Peters New York Gallery and owner of The Peter Marcelle Project, Southampton, N.Y.
Walton's deftly layered color-driven paintings are characterized by emotion, movement and light, with a unique artistic voice marking her as emergent artist of significance in the national and international arenas. In a 2011 Asheville Museum of Art exhibit, her compared favorably with that of renowned colorist Hans Hoffmann.
The cold wax medium consists of a beeswax paste mixed with oil paints for a matte, layered texture. Walton's mastery of the cold wax technique and proficiency as an instructor is well-known. Professional artists from across the United States flock to her workshops in Asheville and at the prestigious Ghost Ranch, N.M., where she has been an artist-in-residence since 2012.
In June, Walton's "Bridge of Dreams" established firmly as a winner in the Manhattan Arts International Show, "Celebrate the Healing Power of Art." That show was juried primarily by Lilly Wei, an independent curator and art critic for Art in America and ARTnews, among other publications. This spring, Walton was also the recipient of two additional international award recognitions in the annual "All Woman Art Competition", by the online Light Space and Time gallery, taking fifth place in the painting category, and eighth place overall.
Since 2011, Walton remains a member of the juried National Association of Women Artists and a fellow in the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, with support from the Karen Shea Silverman Foundation Endowment, at the Creative Retreat, Mount San Angelo, Amherst, Va., since 2006.
The 3rd National Juried East End Art Exhibit will opens today (Aug. 8) in the Gallery with a "Meet the Artists" reception from 5-7 p.m., which is free and open to the public. A special wine tasting event, with three tastings for $5 donation, coincides with the artists' reception and continues until 9 p.m. in the East End Arts Carriage House located behind the gallery. The show runs through September 24, 2014.
East End Gallery is at 133 East Main Street, Riverhead, NY 11901, and online at http://www.eastendarts.org/gallery/national-show-2014.html.

Positive images of ageing and the production of calendars
Fairhurst, E and Baines, SM 2009, 'Positive images of ageing and the production of calendars' , in: Valuing Older People: A Humanistic Approach to Ageing , Ageing and the Life Course , Policy Press, Bristol, pp. 277-282.

An increasing feature of public policy, especially in relation to older people, is to adopt a more person-centred approach to welfare provision. The establishment of deliberative forums is seen as one way in which services can be made more responsive to users. The membership of such forums include, in addition to older people, a range of stakeholders from the statutory (local government and health) and third sectors. This paper draws upon a collaborative research project, 'Older People, Regeneration and Health and Well-Being', based in Manchester, Salford and Newcastle and has a general concern with mapping out the processes through which older people become involved in deliberative forums This paper, though, concerns only the Manchester research site. Since 2003 there has been a multi agency Valuing Older People initiative in Manchester which aims to put older individuals at the centre of plans to regenerate and reshape the city. This initiative is organised around a number of themes, one of which is a positive images of ageing campaign. One part of this is the production of a calendar containing thirteen photographs which aim to question stereotypes of older people. Four calendars have been produced, each with different themes. This paper presents a selection of these visual images to examine the extent to which 'heroic'/ 'marvelling' or 'ordinary' images are presented and how such images represent the ageing body

New Jersey Man Who Bragged on Facebook About Urinating in Pelosi's Office Pleads Not Guilty in Jan. 6 Case
Marisa SarnoffNov 29th, 2021, 12:18 pm
Image courtesy FBI
The New Jersey man who allegedly breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 and bragged about urinating in the office of the Speaker of the House has pleaded not guilty, along with a son he said recorded video of the incident.
"I pissed in her office," James Douglas Rahm Jr. allegedly wrote in a text to a friend that day, according to FBI filings. "My son's got video."
The "her" in the text refers to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and is in response to a text that reads: "Go find Pelosi rip her fucking head off."
Rahm also posted on Facebook that he had urinated in Pelosi's office.
"Get back inside," a Facebook user posted in response to Rahm posting a picture of himself shortly after having been been hit with "pepper spray."
"Pissed in her office," Rahm replied, followed by what the FBI describes as a "strong man emoji."
Rahm's son, James Douglas Rahm III, who goes by JD, is also facing charges for breaching the Capitol building.
Rahm and JD had travelled to Washington on Jan. 5 with plans to attend Donald Trump's rally on Jan. 6, according to the complaints against them. JD told investigators that he had gone to Washington to capture footage of the planned Trump rally. Father and son separated at one point, with JD joining friends at a different side of the Capitol building.
Both Rahm and JD are charged with attempting to obstruct, impede, and interfere with a police officer, unlawfully entering a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, and picketing in a Capitol building.
'We Just Stormed the Capitol. Holy F*ck.'
According to the FBI, JD's mother was concerned about Rahm posting a picture of JD at the Capitol to social media. When authorities searched Kelly Rahm's phone, they saw a message sent from Rahm on Jan. 9 that had a picture of him and JD in front of the U.S. Capitol and Washington monument.
"That's so GREAT!!!" Kelly Rahm replied. "Don't post JD's pic plz."
"No I just deleted it because I want it off my phone," Rahm responded. "I'm deleting my Facebook also."
According to the FBI, the informant who first provided information about Rahm noticed that most of the Facebook posts Rahm had put up about the Jan. 6 riots had been deleted.
According to an FBI filing, Twitter video shows JD as part of a group pushing its way inside the Capitol building.
"[JD] is seen forcefully entering the frame and leaning on the person in front of him, while holding up his GoPro camera," the statement of facts says. "This person then turns around to look at [JD]."
Investigators say that video footage on JD's GoPro camera shows the group "[JD] was in, overpowering U.S. Capitol Hill Police officers, to force the U.S. Capitol doors open from the inside." The FBI says that JD "is among the individuals at the front of this crowd."
JD is also heard on video he posted to Snapchat moments before he entered the Capitol. "Holy sh*t, holy sh*it. Oh my f*ing God, we just stormed the Capitol. Holy F*ck," he said, according to the FBI.
As for Rahm, he appears to have documented portions of his time at the Capitol on Jan. 6 on social media.
In one Facebook post, Rahm said:
"From my experience it was Patriot's [sic] trying to take our house back. Nobody burned anything, nobody broke anything except for a door and the window. All the papers running all over in the offices we're done just for news cameras we destroyed nothing we didn't knock over one piece of paper only the front door. We the people tried to take our house back now they will blame it on Trump. Disgusting anti-Americans."
The FBI also provided this exchange, which took place in response to a picture of Rahm with swollen eyes titled "Pepper Spray":
Facebook user: "were you there Doug?"
Rahm: "yes do not believe the media there were no anarchist no antifa just patriots trying to take our country back. Yes I was there the pepper spray is just wearing off…"
'Is This Because of that Trip They Took?'
Kelly Rahm was the person who answered the door when authorities went to execute a search warrant at what they believed was Rahm's home in early February.
"At this location, KELLY RAHM, mother of JD RAHM III asked law enforcement 'is this because of that trip they took?'" FBI documents say. "When asked what trip she was referring to, KELLY RAHM declined to comment further."
JD and Kelly live at this residence; Rahm told the Press of Atlantic City that although the deed to that house is still in his name, he lives in Philadelphia.
Rahm said in that interview that he regrets his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, but added that law enforcement is also responsible.
"It was just too easy," Rahm said of being able to just enter the Capitol, according to the Press of Atlantic City. "I feel that we were let in. Police handed out bottles of water inside. I don't know what's going on here. It was un-American to go in the Capitol, and it was also un-American to be let in the Capitol."
Rahm also told the Press of Atlantic City that he regrets the impact his actions at the Capitol have had on his family.
"I'm not ashamed of being a Trump supporter," Rahm said, "but I am ashamed of going into the Capitol, and I'm ashamed that it has done this to my ex-wife and kids. She's devastated."
Rahm denied having actually urinated in Pelosi's office, and told the Press of Atlantic City that he only said he did to impress a friend online.
Although it's not clear from the FBI filings whether video of Rahm doing this actually exists, the FBI investigation does place both of them at Pelosi's office during the Capitol breach: JD told investigators he had entered entered her office suite, and Rahm posted to Facebook that he had also been in Pelosi's office.
In Rahm's case, prosecutor Douglas Collyer told U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan that the government offered Rahm a plea deal, but Rahm rejected it.
Hogan, a Ronald Reagan appointee, ordered the parties to continue exchanging discovery and to return for a status conference on Jan. 31, 2022.

Safety the top priority as town centre re-opens
Shrewsbury Recovery Taskforce, made up of Shropshire Council, Shrewsbury Town Council and Shrewsbury BID, says that safety remains a top priority as many town centre businesses prepare to re-open in December.
Shropshire Council have confirmed that the pedestrian zone along High Street will be re-introduced from 11am-4pm to enable more space for people to move around and observe social distancing during the busiest part of the day.
Incoming traffic will not be permitted up Wyle Cop and along High Street during the hours of 11am-4pm and drivers needing to traverse the town centre will be encouraged to use the inner ring road.
All car parks will remain open and accessible with no charges in all Shropshire Council car parks from 11am each day from 3rd December until 17th January.
Kevin Lockwood, manager of Shrewsbury Shopping Centres and part of the Shrewsbury Recovery Taskforce, said: "Everyone is understandably very keen to see some sort of normality returning, and it's good news that shops and restaurants are hoping to open their doors again in December, although some hospitality businesses will have to remain closed whilst we are in Tier 2 restrictions.
"It is absolutely vital that we all remember the basics, just like we did back in the summer, to observe social distancing, sanitise our hands and wear masks inside public spaces.
"Removing through-traffic from the centre of town enables us to create a more comfortable and spacious environment for people.
"We are also looking to remove some of the street furniture on Pride Hill to make it easier for people to follow the rules.
"We all need to keep doing everything we can to keep Shrewsbury safe and welcoming for everyone."
Extra cleaning operatives, funded by Shrewsbury Recovery Taskforce, are continuing to patrol the town centre, sanitising common touchpoints like cashpoints, bus stops and benches to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Town centre traders are also being reminded of the importance of ensuring their customers can maintain social distancing and good hygiene practices.
Stacey Hill, owner of Oberon on Wyle Cop and Shrewsbury BID board director, said that re-introducing the pedestrian zone was very positive move to provide customers with a safe and welcoming environment for people to do their shopping.
She added: "We are so excited to be opening our doors once again, and I know traders have spent a lot of time during lockdown making sure our shops are super safe.
"Removing through-traffic has been very popular with shoppers because it allows so much more space for people, as well as improving the general atmosphere, so we will be happy to see the pedestrian zone being brought back into action."
Alexis Hill, operations manager at The Loopy Shrew and Shrewsbury BID board director, said Shrewsbury continued to be a very safe place to visit.
He said: "As we head out of lockdown again, we are all keen to see the retail and hospitality businesses throughout the town thrive, and see a level of normality return to our lives.
"Being in Tier 2 does present additional challenges for the hospitality sector, and of course many businesses will still be unable to open, so we all need to keep abiding by the rules in the hope that restrictions can be eased sooner rather than later.
"The work that the Shrewsbury Recovery Taskforce has done, and the initiatives that they have put in place, will no doubt ensure that Shrewsbury is, once again, one of the safest places to shop, eat, and drink."

Quake-ravaged schools finally getting rebuilt
Reconstruction of earthquake-ravaged schools is finally gathering momentum in Makwanpur district.
Pratap Bista
Updated at : October 16, 2017 10:14
Hetauda
More than two years after the destructive Gorkha Earthquake, authorities here have started the reconstruction of 75 community school buildings.
District Education Officer Birendra Jung Thapa said 68 school buildings were under construction under District Level Project Implementation Unit (DLPIU) of the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) while seven others were being constructed with the help of NRA's Central Level Project Implementation Unit (CLPIU).
According to the District Education Office, the earthquake of April 25, 2015, and its aftershocks caused damage and destruction to 462 of the 516 community schools in the district. The buildings of 125 community schools were completely destroyed.
The reconstruction of the school buildings under the DLPIU began following the agreement reached with the concerned schools in March and April of this year.
Harichandra Sapkota, the section officer at the DLPIU, said that the construction of 46 school buildings will be completed by the end of the current fiscal year and 22 others will be completed in the next fiscal year.
The DLPIU said that 20 per cent of the total budget for school reconstruction was already provided to the schools as the first instalment.
Sapkota said the project will release the remaining budget based on construction progress.
The NRA had allocated Rs 188.2 million for school reconstruction in Makwanpur.
Besides the government authorities, some non-governmental organisations are also supporting school building reconstruction in the district.
Pratap Bista is the Bagmati Province Bureau Chief for Kantipur Publications.


TFMCC is an equation-based multicast congestion control mechanism that extends the TCP-friendly TFRC protocol from the unicast to the multicast domain. The key challenges in the design of TFMCC lie in scalable round-trip time measurements, appropriate feedback suppression, and in ensuring that feedback delays in the control loop do not adversely affect fairness towards competing flows. A major contribution is the feedback mechanism, the key component of end-to-end multicast congestion control schemes. We improve upon the well-known approach of using exponentially weighted random timers by biasing feedback in favor of low-rate receivers while still preventing a response implosion. We evaluate the design using simulation, and demonstrate that TFMCC is both TCP-friendly and scales well to multicast groups with thousands of receivers. We also investigate TFMCC's weaknesses and scaling limits to provide guidance as to application domains for which it is well suited.
There also exists a version of TFRC/TFMCC for flows that change the packet size rather than the packet rate to adapt their rate (VP-TFRC/VP-TFMCC).

MD5 Crack: Does It Matter?
Some very clever people have figured out how to create an exploitable real world MD5 hash collision. It is interesting work and suggests that the value of an MD5 signature to verify a certificate is lower than intended. In the end the work shows it is possible to spoof a web site in such a way that a browser's normal security features for detecting false websites are defeated. But does it really matter?
That presumption, that a CA would be meaningful in preventing phishing or redirection or whatever by uniquely identifying a site as belonging to the entity in question because the user trusts the domain name, is prima facia absurd. Would you even think about going to www.bofa.com instead of www.bankofamerica.com or whatever? I wouldn't; most banks would buy every variation of their name including common misspellings (www.bnkofamerica.com?), so that a misspelling seems to work wouldn't surprise me at all. That a misspelling gets a cert thus means nothing either.
Further, what do you do when a cert fails, for example if the CA can't be identified or the cert is expired or whatever? Do you back out of the transaction and call the bank to find out what's going on? Do you think you could ever reach anyone at the bank who knew? Send them an email? (which would probably go to the fake bank anyway). I just accept the cert and move on.
Since CAs and certs are already a complete failure as a proof of identity mechanism, MD5 signature spoofing is also irrelevant for the vast majority of users.
HTTPS is useful for encrypting traffic. It shouldn't be used for anything else. The whole signed CA/Cert thing is an impediment to this useful function for a useless feature that is merely cryptographically entertaining. Google's and various browser mechanisms to identify malicious sites are far more effective, although a few users are likely to get scammed before the fraud is identified.

Chloe arrived home from school, made herself a cup of coffee and took it up to her bedroom. She had some homework to do, but that could wait for later. She wanted to enjoy the quiet hour before her parents arrived home and the house filled up with the evening sounds of chatter, television or her dad listening to his beloved jazz while he cooked dinner.
She liked this time of day too because she could play with her pet rats. Yes, that's right, pet rats! Chloe has got two of them, Zena and Roxy. Chloe knows they're not typical pets and she has lost count of the times she's patiently tried to explain to people that rats aren't dirty and they make fantastic pets if you look after them correctly. But she understands why people react badly. She didn't like rats either until her friend Martin showed her his pet rats and she saw how affectionate and intelligent they were. Last year, when one of Martin's rats had babies, Chloe decided she'd like to have two of them.
It had been the longest five minutes of Chloe's life but finally, Mum came back into the kitchen, smiled and said, 'Yes, alright. You can have two rats, but ...' (with mothers, there's always a 'but'!) '... they must live in your room and never go to other parts of the house, especially not the kitchen'. 'Don't worry,' said Chloe, smiling. 'They won't go anywhere near the kitchen. Rats hate jazz!' Mum laughed, and two days later they went to Martin's house to collect Roxy and Zena.
'OK, Mum. See you later,' Chloe replied.
Mum closed the door and Chloe put Zena back in her cage and called for Roxy. 'Roxy?' said Chloe. 'Roxy, where are you?' Roxy always came when Chloe said her name. Chloe waited a moment and then started to look around her room. Where could Roxy be? She had to be in Chloe's room somewhere. Then Chloe remembered that Mum had come in and opened the door. Roxy might have gone out of the room then and now she could be anywhere.
Chloe searched the top floor of the house first. She looked in her parents' room and the bathroom, but she couldn't see Roxy anywhere. Then she headed downstairs to the kitchen, hoping she'd find Roxy munching on a carrot or snacking on crumbs. Then she had a sudden panic. What if Roxy had climbed into the washing machine? And what if Mum had turned it on before she went out? Chloe ran the last few steps to the kitchen and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the washing machine door was open with no sign of Roxy inside. Chloe then searched the rest of the kitchen, looking in drawers and opening cupboards, calling Roxy's name as she did so.
'Hi, Chloe!' said Dad's voice and she turned around to see him coming into the kitchen with a bag of food from the Italian Delicatessen. 'Are you OK?' he asked.
'Yes, I'm ... I'm ...' Chloe had to make a decision fast. Was she going to tell Dad about Roxy or was she going to pretend that everything was fine? Different voices spoke inside her head. 'He'll be furious!' said one voice. 'He might help!' said another, so Chloe decided to take a chance.
'Dad, I've ... well, I've lost Roxy," said Chloe, trying not to look Dad in the eye.
Chloe and her dad spent a frantic half hour looking all over the house for Roxy. When she was searching her room for the third time, Chloe heard a key in the door and Mum calling, 'It's me, I'm home'.
'Oh, no!' thought Chloe. Mum wasn't going to be happy about having a rat loose in the house. She decided to stay in her room and let Dad tell Mum about Roxy. Then she heard Dad laughing and Mum called out, 'Chloe, come downstairs'.
Chloe took a deep breath. She went downstairs and there was Mum with a smile on her face and Roxy on her shoulder.
'Sorry, Mum. Are you angry?' asked Chloe.
