Q: a real beginner, Neflix and beyond My daughter and I have a little Acer Netbook, and use it for all our home schooling needs, from online research, email, writing papers, etc, to down time use watching Neflix, Youtube and FB. Can I use Ubuntu on this mini laptop and still do all the things we are used to doing? I'm nearly a complete computer idiot, so talking OS, DOS (how I originally learned computer,but forgotten, over 25 yrs ago), gigabytes, pixels and Platforms is gibberish to me...my eyes glaze over and I just nod dumbly and walk away with no understanding at all. SO! keep it kindergarten for me.

A: Everything you mentioned you want to do should work, except Netflix. Sadly, Netflix require some software that is only available for Macintosh and Windows.
However, you can still make Netflix work if you put in a few extra steps. I have listed two different methods known to make Netflix work. Method 1 is the easiest method to use, but using it will require software that might not be a bit laggy. Method 2 can be more convenient and have less lag, although it will take more work in the beginning.
Method 1: Unoffical Netflix app
These is an unofficial app which can be used/installed with only three command lines. Open the terminal (CTRL+Alt+T), and type the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop

Once that is done, you should find a program called Netflix, which can be used to watch Netflix. Easy-peasy.
Method 2: Install Pipelight
I would recommend using Pipelight, which will allow you to use these Windows programs, without actually using Windows. To install Pipelight, make sure you don't have any web browsers open or the Software Center open, and open a terminal (using Ctrl+Alt+T), and run the following three commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight

When you are asked for a password, the same password you use to log on the the computer should work fine. When you open your web browser, you might get a window saying something about downloading and installing some strange software. This is just the software you installed with the above commands getting some components from the internet. It should finish automatically, at which point you will need to change some browser settings.
If you attempt to watch Netflix at this point, it will tell you to use Windows. You can trick Netflix into thinking you're alread using Windows by using a User Agent Spoofer. To learn more about how to do so, see the bottom of THIS page (you can press control+F and type We're not done yet. Silverlight should be working now, but some websites such as Netflix check the browser user agent to quickly find the part I'm talking about). Once you finish Netlix should work.

A: It is possible to do all those things.  I also have a netbook with Ubuntu 12.04 installed and I do all those things.  But, I have to say honestly, there is a bar to cross when you transition over to Ubuntu from Windows.
Depending on the software you use for those tasks now, it is likely that, except for the browser, the applications you use to perform those tasks will be different.  Slightly different in many cases but still different.
And, if you look at the extremely well written answer above on how to set up Netflix, you will see that when you try to do many configuration things, you will often need to enter terminal commands, which is quite foreign for many Windows users.
However, it is worth the effort.  I would never look back to Windows except for the many legacy games I have collected that I desire to play in the future (and even they are becoming more possible to play on Linux as time passes and as I learn more about the system).


More than 2,000 people gathered in Vali-e Asr Square on Saturday evening to show their opposition to the sham presidential elections took place on Friday in Iran.
There were also large pockets of protesters gathered in front of the City Theater located on the Vali-e Asr Square in the Iranian capital city Tehran.
According to PMOI/MEK correspondents stationed on Vali-e Asr Sq. the suppressive State Security forces and Basij militias raided the gathering using tear gas to disperse the crowd who had come from different parts of the city to this Sq. to show their anger and frustration at the mullahs repressive and fundamental regime.

This year marks the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, sometime resident of Southwark. Jane Levi, writer and visiting research fellow at King's College London, explores the bard's invocation of street food
Illustrations: Jonny Hannah
"You wear out a good wholesome forenoon in hearing a case between an orange-wife and a fosset seller; and then rejourn the controversy of three-pence to a second day of audience."
Menenius, Coriolanus, act 2, scene 1
In Coriolanus, Menenius, criticising Brutus and Sicinius, points out that they are in no position to complain of anyone else's excessive pride, given how poorly they perform their own duties—which include mediating disputes between street sellers. Given the number of itinerant vendors on the streets of his own London, Shakespeare could all too readily place himself in the imaginary space of the Roman forum, and imagine the arguments that might need to be resolved between the competitive sellers of food and drink for the passing crowds. It was a tough life for those plying this kind of trade.
Although in today's London—especially around Borough Market—we generally celebrate the appearance of vastly more markets and street food than we have known in recent decades, we have a long way to go to return to the bustling scenes of 400 years ago. Then, a large and varied number of street sellers would walk the streets six days a week crying out their different wares, many of them food. From hot peascods (peas in their pods) and "Sheep's trotters, hot!" to strawberries, cherries, and hot codlings (small apples) and wardens (pears), if you needed a drink or a snack while moving around the city, chances were you could find a milkmaid, pieman or other vendor with something to take your fancy. Even on a Sunday, you could probably buy some seasonal fruit.
"Not yet old enough for a man, nor young enough for a boy, as a squash is before 'tis a peascod, or a codling when 'tis almost an apple."
Malvolio describing the disguised Viola, Twelfth Night, act 1, scene 5
In Shakespeare's plays these street foods were commonplace, and a lot of them were taken into the theatre along with bottles of ale and other cold drinks. The Museum of London found a mixture of evidence during excavations at the Rose and Globe theatres, including gnawed chicken bones, remnants of various fruits such as figs, grapes, raspberries, blackberries and plums, oyster shells, pumpkin seeds and hazelnut shells. Although some have suggested that the nut shells may have been mixed with other materials to make a hard and durable floor surface, others point to period satires complaining about the noise of boys cracking open nuts during performances: until more evidence emerges, we can let the audience decide which version they prefer.

It only sends first four and can not send the rest...

A: I suspect what's happening is bash is expanding the FILE='CAM_1_*' into a full list of files on your local system, and then the mput command line is too long to process all the files.
Try adding an 'echo ${FILE} line after setting FILE to see what value the variable has.
If this is happening, then add a 'set -f' command before setting FILE to disable the filename expansion.

Romney Delivers Victory Speech: Unlike Obama 'I Will Never Apologize for the Greatest Nation in the History of the Earth'
He is the first Republican presidential candidate since 1976 to win both Iowa and New Hampshire.
Mitt Romney, the clear victor in Tuesday night's New Hampshire Primary, delivered a powerful victory speech to supporters, saying that America is "better than the misguided policies and broken promises of the last three years – and the failed leadership of one man." Romney also stated that, unlike President Obama, he will "never apologize for the greatest nation in the history of the Earth."
"Tonight we made history," Romney began. "Tonight, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we go back to work."
To the cheering crowd, the former Massachusetts governor reflected on several of Obama's past "failed" promises, including "bringing people together" and delivering change to the "broken system in Washington."
"He promised to improve our nation," Romney said. "Those were the days of lofty promises made by a hopeful candidate. Today, we are faced with the disappointing record of a failed President."
He added pointedly, "the last three years have held a lot of change, but they haven't offered much hope."
Fox News provides the video of Romney's victory speech:
Watch the latest video at video.insider.foxnews.com
Below are some of Romney's more piquant criticisms of Obama, juxtaposed with what he would do differently if elected president:
This President puts his faith in government. We put our faith in the American people.
He is making the federal government bigger, burdensome, and bloated. I will make it simpler, smaller, and smarter.
He raised the national debt. I will cut, cap, and balance the budget.
He enacted job-killing regulations; I'll eliminate them.
He lost our AAA credit rating; I'll restore it.
He passed Obamacare; I'll repeal it.
When it comes to the economy, my highest priority as President will be worrying about your job, not saving my own.
Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America's role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must – and will – lead the future.
He doesn't see the need for overwhelming American military superiority. I will insist on a military so powerful no one would think of challenging it.
He chastises friends like Israel; I'll stand with our friends.
He apologizes for America; I will never apologize for the greatest nation in the history of the Earth.
Our plans protect freedom and opportunity, and our blueprint is the Constitution of the United States.


What if Medicine Doesn't Help?
There are people for which it seems no antidepressant will help, but they are rare, and for those who cannot be treated by antidepressants, it is very likely that electric shock treatment will help. I realize that's a very frightening prospect and it is still controversial, but ECT (or electroconvulsive therapy) is widely regarded by psychiatrists as the safest and most effective treatment there is for the worst depression. Most effective because it works when antidepressants fail, and safest for the simple reason that it works almost immediately, so the patient is not likely to kill themselves while waiting to get better, as can happen while waiting for an antidepressant to yield some relief.
Those who have read such books as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest will understandably have a low regard for shock treatment. In the past shock treatment was poorly understood by those who administered it and I have no doubt that it has been abused as depicted in Kesey's book.
Note: While you may have seen the Cuckoo's Nest movie, it's really worthwhile to read the book. The inner experience of the patients comes through in the novel in a way that I don't think is possible in a motion picture.
It has since been found that the profound memory loss that Robert Pirsig describes in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance can be largely avoided by shocking only one lobe of the brain at a time, rather than both simultaneously. I understand the untreated lobe retains its memory and can help the other one recover it.
A new procedure called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation promises a vast improvement over traditional ECT by using pulsed magnetic fields to induce currents inside the brain. A drawback for ECT is that the skull is an effective insulator, so high voltages are required to penetrate it. ECT cannot be applied with much precision. The skull presents no barrier to magnetic fields, so TMS can be delicately and precisely controlled.
At the hospital back in '85 I had the pleasure to meet a fellow patient who had once worked as a staff member at another psychiatric hospital some time before. He would give us the inside scoop on everything that was going on during our stay. In particular he had once assisted in giving ECT treatments, and said that at the time it was just starting to be understood how many times you could shock someone before - as he put it - "they wouldn't come back". He said you could safely treat someone eleven times.
You're probably wondering whether I have ever had ECT. I haven't; antidepressants work well for me. Although I feel it is probably safe and effective, I would be very reluctant to have it, for the simple reason that I place such a high value on my intellect. I would have to be pretty convinced that I would be as smart afterwards as I am now before I would volunteer for shock treatment. I would have to know a lot more about it than I do now.
I've known several other people to have ECT, and it seemed to help them. A couple of them were fellow patients who were getting the treatment while we were in the hospital together, and the difference in their whole personalities from one day to the next was profoundly positive.


Stephanie Hammerman will motivate you right now.
When you think of a transformation, in a fitness sense, you typically think of someone who either lost a ton of weight or gained a healthy amount to meet their personal goals. But what about the kinds of transformation that aren't just rooted in the body? Steph Hammerman is one such case. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Steph never let her circumstance slow her down.
After flirting with physical fitness and living an active lifestyle, Steph heard about a little thing called CrossFit. You know, one of the most intense, workout/lifestyle regiments on the planet. Not only did Steph endure her first WOD and survive, afterward she asked herself, "How can I become a CrossFit trainer?" Well, check out her story below and ask yourself if you can match her spirit and will in your next workout.

On Friday 8th April, Newport Boys National School travelled to Two Mile Borris for the major schools county soccer tournament. Newport BNS won all their group stage matches and topped the group. We played St Ailbhe's Thurles in the semi final. We won this game narrowly on a scoreline of 3 goals to 2. The final was played in the afternoon Newport BNS v St Peter and Pauls A Clonmel . This was a very tight game with Newport BNS trailing 1 goal to nil at half time. Newport BNS were a much better side in the second half scoring two unanswered goals, the first goal was scored by Johnny Ryan to equalise the game. In the dying minutes of the final Nathan O'Donoghue placed the ball in the bottom left hand corner leaving St Peter and Pauls goalie with no chance. This secured the victory for Newport BNS. We will be playing the Munster finals in Waterford later in the month.

Define Orientation: What is an Effective Employee Orientation?
Build your new employee orientation presentation package. Define orientation goals and ensure you cover the details of what your employees need to know to work in your organization. Use a sample new employee orientation program to effectively welcome new employees.
No matter how busy you are, welcome your new employee - do not abandon him/her. If you do not have time to spend with the new employee, assign someone to that responsibility.
Discuss the plan for first day. Review the package you have prepared (above) for the new employee.
Introduce the employee to other staff members.
Show the new employee around the office: show them the lunch room, the washrooms, the emergency exits. If you have a large facility, try to have the facility lay-out mapped and give the new employee that map (this is usually required for your safety plan).
Review the job description and organizational charts with the employee.
Explain parking, ride sharing and transportation services available.
Review telephone, fax, e-mail, and Internet use and policies.
Review the hours of work, attendance expectations (how to handle lateness or absences: who to call, what the policies are) and vacation entitlements. Also discuss holidays the company pays for (e.g. Christmas Day?).
If you haven't already given the new employee the employee handbook (company policies and practices book) and employee compensation and benefits package or materials, give them to the employee now. Ask them to review the documents carefully and get back to you, or the appropriate person, with any questions or requirements for clarification. If forms need to be filled out (for taxes, benefits, payroll, etc.), have them do it on the first day or give them the forms in a separate package and have them bring it back the next day.
Your offer letter will have included mention of a probationary period, remind the new employee of that period. Discuss the company's process for performance evaluations, and how the employee will be evaluated.
Discuss security in terms of locking file cabinets, passwords for voice mail and/or computers, locking access doors, etc.
Create a checklist for the new employee orientation. Then make sure that as you work through the checklist, you have agreement from your new employee that they are aware of the information and understand it.
Once you've completed the new employee orientation, usually in the first week, have a sign off procedure for both the new employee and you (or the individual who was assigned to handle the orientation). You want to make sure that nothing important has been overlooked or forgotten.
Follow up with the new employee during the next week, then the next month, then the six months probation review and finally the annual performance review (use your employee performance evaluations program). Do not leave issues alone, hoping they will fix themselves. Make sure that you discuss issues before they become reasons for termination and you end up firing employees.
If you have concerns about performance or other issues, address them directly and early.
It is difficult finding good people: when you hire new employees, ensure that you provide enough employee training development and orientation to help your employees become successful additions to your team and to ensure that you retain your employees.
Your small business growth depends on the quality of the people you hire. Once you've hired them, define orientation as a priority. Effective employee orientation will jump-start the training cycle and provide stronger alignment between the job descriptions and the performance evaluations (and performance results).
(Part 1 is this page - Define Orientation).
Return to the Role of Human Resources.
Return from Define Orientation to More for Small Business Home Page.
New employees have a better opportunity for success when you provide a strong orientation for them on day one.
But follow up on that orientation, make sure that they understand what's expected of them and that they have the training and the support to do well.
During the first week, set aside some time each day to check in with them and debrief; listen closely to what they have to say and see if they highlight areas of business or process improvement: sometimes new employees see things that existing staff just don't see anymore.
Be sure to communicate progress and expected results regularly. Provide a written summary performance review after the first month - not at the end of the probationary period - by then it may be too late. Make sure the summary provides both the good results and the areas for improvement - with feedback on how that improvement can be achieved.
Communicate the organization's plan for the future and how the employees contribute to those plans and mission.
Make sure that the culture of your organization is one that attracts the type of people you want working for you. Assess your environment objectively - or hire someone to come in and do an employee survey or assessment for you.
Provide feedback regularly and consistently (and frequently for new employees or those that appear to be struggling).
Recognize good work openly and in front of other.
Consider poor performance as an area for improvement: focus on only one or two improvement areas at a time.
Provide employees with the opportunity for input into their evaluations - this should not be a one-way communication effort, rather it needs to be a two-way effort.
If there are action items that come out of the performance evaluation, and typically there need to be some goals or actions in each evaluation, then follow up - do not wait for a year to go by to check in.

Q: How Can the Following Couple of ODEs be solves at the Given Boundary Conditions? $$y_1''(x) - \frac{C_1}{x}y_1'(x)= C_2 y_1(x) - C_3 y_2(x)$$
$$y_2''(x) - \frac{C_4}{x}y_2'(x)= C_2 y_2(x) - C_3 y_1(x)$$
At the given boundary conditions:
$$ y_1(0) = y_2(0) = c $$
$$ y_1(\infty) = y_2 (\infty) = 0$$
I have tried to solve the problem as follow:
$$ y_1(x) = U + V $$
and
$$ y_2(x) = U - V $$
and I got the following solution but it doesn't satisfy the problem, so I wonder if anyone can help.
$$ U = x^{\frac{1+C_1}{2}} * (k_1 * I_{\frac{1+C_1}{2}}(x\sqrt{C_2 - C_3}) + k_2 * K_{\frac{1+C_1}{2}}(x\sqrt{C_2 - C_3}))$$
$$ V = x^{\frac{1+C_2}{2}} * (k_3 * I_{\frac{1+C_2}{2}}(x\sqrt{C_2 + C_3}) + k_4 * K_{\frac{1+C_2}{2}}(x\sqrt{C_2 + C_3}))$$

Narrated by: Stephen Fry,James Anthony,full cast
An enlightening and entertaining collection of the most esteemed love poems in the English canon, retold in contemporary language everyone can understand.
James Anthony has long enjoyed poetry with a strict adherence to beat, rhythm, and rhyming patterns, which he likens to the very best pop songs. This drew him to the rewarding 14-line structure of Shakespeare's sonnets, yet he often found their abstract language frustratingly unintelligible. One day, out of curiosity, he rewrote Sonnet 18 - "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day" - line-by-line, in the strict five-beat iambic pentameter and rhyming patterns of the original, but in a contemporary language a modern reader could easily understand. The meaning and sentiment - difficult to spot, initially - came to life, revealing new intricacies in the workings of Shakespeare's heart.
And so, James embarked on a full-time, year-long project to rewrite all 154 of the Bard's eternal verses creating Shakespeare's Sonnets, Retold. This collection of masterful reinterpretations brilliantly demystifies and breathes new life into Shakespeare's work, demonstrating the continued resonance of a playwright whose popularity remains over 400 years after his death. Now, the passion, heartbreak, deception, reconciliation, and mortality of Shakespeare's originals can be understood by all, without the need to cross-reference to an enjoyment-sapping study guide.
Coming with a foreword by Stephen Fry, this is a stunning collection of beautiful love poems made new.

Anti-Masker Performs Nazi Salute at Michigan School Board Meeting
Brooke Leigh Howard
Updated Aug. 19, 2021 4:41PM ET / Published Aug. 19, 2021 3:04PM ET
Andressa Anholete/Getty
Police in Birmingham, Michigan police are investigating whether a man who gave a Nazi salute during a school board meeting committed a hate crime. During the Birmingham Board of Education meeting Wednesday evening, board members and parents gathered to talk about a school mask mandate. After the board announced that staff and students would be required to wear face coverings when school starts, some attendees were furious. They spread disinformation about how masks are dangerous for children—but the raucous didn't stop there.
As a Black woman and Jewish woman got up to speak at the meeting and show their support for a mask mandate, one attendee stood up and said, "Heil Hitler" while making a Nazi salute. Two men behind him are reported to have repeated the phrase. Superintendent Embekka Roberson wrote in a letter to parents that the district "emphatically denounces and will not tolerate" racism or violence. "Last night's meeting did not consistently display the behaviors that we expect from our students and community," she wrote. Despite the awkward interruption, the meeting continued with some parents even threatening to remove their children from school if they will be required to wear masks.

Esdec, a European solar rooftop mounting solutions provider, announced today it is entering the U.S. market. With more than 1.8 GW of installed capacity and leading market share in several European countries, the company brings 14 years of solar mounting and racking innovation and experience to the U.S. solar community.
Esdec's initial U.S. product offering is the FlatFix system, a lightweight, clickable solar mounting system for flat roofs. Featuring a 20-year warranty and UL certification, FlatFix's innovative design enables rapid assembly, allowing commercial installers to significantly reduce installation times compared to other systems in the market.
Esdec's Atlanta-based U.S. subsidiary will be led by Bart Leusink, a seasoned executive with more than 25 years of management and executive experience. Bart has significant experience in and familiarity with the U.S. solar market, having served for seven years as president and CEO of Renusol America. Over the course of his career, Bart has built successful sales and product development teams, led organizational change and business transformation, initiated expansion into new market segments and launched numerous new product lines.
FlatFix's racking components, including bonding straps, are assembled by snapping into a locked position without the need for tools. The rails click together easily and quickly to form an interconnected, solid structure. Complete module installation requires just one tool and minimal parts, while power optimizers can be attached via snap-on clips in a matter of seconds.
Using self-leveling baseplates, FlatFix is available with ballasted and hybrid attachment options. The flexible system can be oriented in a traditional south-facing direction or in a dual-tilt orientation. FlatFix's materials and design compensate for thermal effects, reducing potential heat-induced degradation of the PV modules and protecting the integrity of the roof.
Esdec is also introducing its ClickFit product to the U.S. market. A lightweight, fully adjustable rail-based racking system, ClickFit can be used on various types of pitched residential and commercial roofs. FlatFix and ClickFit are both UL-certified Class A fire-rated, having achieved top-of-class fire mitigation for Type 1 and 2 PV modules.
Esdec will be exhibiting at Solar Power International 2018 (Booth 378). Also at the show, FlatFix has been selected to be the official PV mounting system of the SPI Smart Energy Microgrid located outside the south side of the convention center and in the exhibition hall at the Smart Energy Microgrid Marketplace.

Q: Ownership of migrated questions, and multiple Stack Exchange accounts? I've been using the Stack group of web sites for about a year. There are some areas I still do not understand about how the community works. I had a question migrated from stackexchange to superuser which set me on a strange "waste of my time" (1+ hrs) which compelled me to post this question...

*

*I've ended up with several user accounts (stackoverflow, superuser, mathematics, drupal, etc...). Are these accounts intentionally separate? Or is this an error on my part?

*I think its not my error since at superuser I had to add a new user account, when I was already logged in at stackexchange (when I clicked through on my migrated question).

*The migrated question is not listed in my new account profile, and back at my stackexchange user account the question is listed in my profile, but registers no answers, while there are actually two in the migrated version. The net result of all this is I am unable to mark the question answered since my migrated question has no outlined checkmark. How do I mark my migrated question answered?
I've let my puzzlement about the Exchange go unresolved for the last year since all of my questions were at Stackoverflow and I continued to benefit with answers to my questions. Yet, having branched out into other parts of the "Exchange", and now seeing I have several accounts with different reputations, I'm confused and wish to better understand how the community of "Exchange" sites works.
I keep returning to the FAQ. I notice now each FAQ is written for the Exchange site where the FAQ link resides. None mention directly the issue (1) of the relationship of users to Exchange sites.
The FAQ also does not list, link or mention instructions to mark a question as "answered". A basic search for "marked as answered" returned:
"Mark the conclusion for every answered question" - "We already have tons of instances where users don't even know how to accept an answer..."
haha, me!
"Is it possible for someone with high reputation to mark as answered? [closed]"
Forwards to: How does accepting an answer work?
The latter seems IMHO a great candidate to be added to any Exchange FAQ.

A:
I've ended up with several user accounts (stackoverflow, superuser, mathematics, drupal, etc...). Are these accounts intentionally separate? Or is this an error on my part?

This is intentional; your reputation on a topic is specific to that topic. Because you may know a lot about programming does not mean you're an expert astronomer at http://astronomy.stackexchange.com

I think its not my error since at superuser I had to add a new user account, when I was already logged in at stackexchange (when I clicked through on my migrated question).

See above answer. Accounts are specific to each site.

The migrated question is not listed in my new account profile, and back at my stackexchange user account the question is listed in my profile, but registers no answers, while there are actually two in the migrated version. The net result of all this is I am unable to mark the question answered since my migrated question has no outlined checkmark. How do I mark my migrated question answered?

Once you create an account on the target site -- assuming you used a common credential (read: email) shared with all your other Stack Exchange accounts -- you will automatically assume ownership of the migrated question.
If that does not happen, email us at team@stackexchange.com with relevant URLs and we'll take a look.

A: 1 & 2) Error on your part. Accounts can be associated by using the same openid (you can add openids in existing accounts and associate them that way).
3) When your question is migrated and your accounts are linked, the question stays associated with you by being attached to your account on the destination site. What to do when your accounts aren't associated? For now you've lost the question, but there has been some discussion around here about dealing with that more gracefully in the future.

Shuttle Astronauts Inspect Heat Shield
Endeavour's exterior may have taken damage from debris during Wednesday's liftoff.
Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Endeavour were slated to begin inspecting the craft's heat shields Thursday to ensure that debris from Wednesday's launch did not cause any significant damage.
Mission specialists Chris Cassidy, Tom Marshburn, Dave Wolf, Tim Kopra, and Julie Payette will use the shuttle's robotic arm and Orbiter Boom Sensor System to carry out the inspections, NASA said.
Though NASA at this point does not believe there is cause for alarm, the space agency isn't taking any chances. Pieces of foam insulation from external fuel tanks damaged heat shields on the space shuttle Columbia in 2003. The vehicle disintegrated upon reentry to earth's atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts aboard.
Also Thursday, the Endeavour crew will check out the space suits that they will don for five spacewalks slated for their mission—officially known as STS-127.
Endeavour lifted off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday after a series of delays caused by faulty equipment and inclement weather.
STS-127 is a 16-day mission that will see the Endeavour crew work to complete construction of Japan's Kibo space laboratory. The astronauts will add a porch-like platform to the lab's exterior that will allow experiments to be exposed to the vacuum of outer space.
NASA is expected to phase out the space shuttle program starting next year. Plans call for the development of an Apollo-style rocket and capsule system, dubbed Ares and Orion, to replace the orbiter.
Obama administration officials, however, have recently raised questions about the plan's cost and practicality. The Senate on Wednesday confirmed former astronaut Maj. Gen. Charles Bolden as NASA administrator.

First up is this signature cocktail from the Tavern Midtown. I adored this restaurant. It was full of dark wood, dark corners and the glow from candles. Each table seemed to be a nook which you could hide away in. Plus, it was home to the single best burger I've ever eaten in my life.
But to kick off, I had the Balsamic Martini, as recommended by the waitress. Yum. It packed quite the punch, but was overcome with sweet, fresh strawberry, and a tangy kick of balsamic.
1. In a blender, obliterate your strawberries with the sugar and balsamic vinegar.
2. In a martini shaker (or jar with lid screwed on tight, as is my preference) shake up the strawberries with the balsamic syrup, the vodka, Martini Rosso and ice cubes. Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake.
3. Pour out into your glass.

Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? is the eight studio album by Deerhunter, released by 4AD on January 18, 2019.
Should make for a great live sound.
A powerful set of often-dystopian songs revolving around the decline of civilization.
The album infuses bleak tumbleweed landscapes into the experimental — and often surrealist — soundscapes, revolutionizing the band's approach to recording.
Fifteen years in, Deerhunter have created something meaningful and masterful.
Whilst Deerhunter haven't disappeared, this album sees the band struggled to separate themselves apart from what has come before.
In the context of Deerhunter's catalogue it takes 15 years of oscillating and condenses everything that makes this band great into about 40 minutes.
While the intention may have been to align closer with the now electronic- and hip-hop-focused music market, the album fails to feel relevant.
Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? may not reach the heights of Microcastle or Halcyon Digest, but it brims with issues of mortality that feel gloomier than ever, making the album a far richer experience through multiple listens.
We should be grateful that everything hasn't disappeared yet, otherwise we wouldn't have heard this great new album.
It's an album that neither feels settled – surely intentionally as there's no lack of musical confidence here – and never allows you to settle, often clouding the imagination of its creators behind a hazy sound.
Underneath it all, Deerhunter are still a band that are completely beholden to music's ability to spiritually transcend even the worst state of things.
They remain an intriguing and unique band but it has to be said that this latest album is a very patchy affair and yet again fails to live up to past glories despite a myriad of good moments.
Ultimately Deerhunter's performance art is spellbinding.
Treasure the tiny little miracle that some benevolence allows us to hear a record like this and know we're not alone—even if we appear to be.
Like ghosts that don't know they're dead, the songs on Deerhunter's Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? wander about in a well-produced limbo almost in mourning for the death they can't die.
It lingers like the beauty of dusk, when light slowly gives way to darkness.
Using bucketloads of echo and distorting Bradford Cox's vocals isn't enough to create interest.
It's true to the spirit of collaboration, all dense with interesting textures and ideas.
'Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?' is still as exciting to listen to as any of their early work, and helps maintain that high level of constancy the band have always been able to conjure.
Cox himself has said that the band's golden age is over, yet this album, like the band's previous two, only gets better with repeated listening, and if this is the sound of a band in supposed decline, they can still smoke nearly any other outfit working at their peak.
It's a predictably great album that might push its way into the album of the year lists.
Inspired, or spooked, by notions of cultural and personal erasure, the songs have an entrancing melodious charm but also sharper, more confrontational passages, such as the stop-start dislocations in tempo applied to "Nocturne".
It makes for a complex, challenging and thoroughly compelling album that, in spite of some of its weaker tracks, is one of the first essential pieces of listening in 2019.
Why hasn't everything already disappeared? I wish Deerhunter could help us answer these questions.
Deerhunter managed to turn in one of their stiffest, clunkiest project to date - which is saying something considering how much of the inorganic percussion they had on Fading Frontier!
A self-proclaimed sci-fi album about the present, "Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?" proves again Deerhunter can rise to the challenge of reinventing their sound without losing themselves — without disappearing.
A singular thing, not quite of this world, desert fruit ripening quietly on the eve of the end.
From the weariness and wonder in its title to the mix of delicacy and anger in its songs, Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? is one of Deerhunter's most haunting and thought-provoking albums.
Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? is a sonic expansion of the warm tones found in Deerhunter's 2015 Fading Frontier.
Immediately recognizable as a great Deerhunter album but more relaxed, still psychedelic but less far-out than they once were.
Pleasant songs to hum along, with a tendency to spin and less nice lyrics.
Surging into new ground while retaining elements of their classic sound.
Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? is an extension of the ideas Cox was flirting with on the band's 2015 album, Fading Frontier, only this time he's replacing guitars with harpsichords to execute a grand detournement from the rock'n'roll genre.
Like most Deerhunter albums, this one contains a sense of foreboding and existential crisis, but it's hidden within cheerful melodies and kaleidoscopic, candy-colored arrangements that often include horns and harpsichords among the guitars and synthesizers.
A powerful, graceful guitar and ghost album about disappearing.
Deerhunter offer a 21st-century state-of-the-world address in surrealist pop form.
Those who exercise patience will hear a record that sounds particularly characteristic and - in a somewhat inconsistent way - describes what it is like to live in our fast-paced and disorienting society.
The band succeeds once again in making a completely unique record in an already richly filled discography.
You get the feeling you've been thrust into a dream, temporarily torn from the present in order to observe it, understand what's going on, and return to reality with new tools to keep that all-encompassing fear at bay.
A rechristening for the band, a more formidable statement from a band whose songwriting is as resilient as ever.
This is a new side of Deerhunter that gives the listener much to contemplate.
These songs contend with the emotional and physical ramifications of life in a country that's reiterating itself to death, one franchise reboot or startup reinvention at a time.
After eight albums, Deerhunter continues to push its sonic storytelling into uncharted territory.
Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? is another crisp, clean, reserved collection that defies instant gratification but rewards careful attention.
Though the album loses some of the momentum from its gripping beginning, the twisted imagery lingers long after the final notes.
Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?, sweeps away any remaining traces of autobiographical writing and directs its focus towards humanity's current predicament—all through a spacey sound and science-fiction-like lyrical bent.
On Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? they go pastoral, delivering an album that sounds like windswept grains, like dust floating off a side road.
Even depressing themes (nationalistic violence in "No One's Sleeping", death in "What Happens To People?") Seem to be so overwhelming embedded in this flawless chamber pop.
Why has not everything disappeared? Why is Deerhunter not a much larger group?
As Cox sings on 'Futurism': "Your cage is what you make it / If you decorate it / It goes by faster." I for one am happy to wait out my days, whatever's left of them, listening to Deerhunter.
The theme is handled so timidly that it's easy to start questioning whether it's there at all.
'Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?' is the first full-length of its generation to confront the escapism vs. engagement debate by planting its flag firmly in the middle.
They continue to look forward and create music that feels unlike anything else out there.
The slow, crumbling decline of civilisation has rarely sounded so good.
It should come as no surprise that Disappeared is their most complex work since Halcyon Digest and features a theme that others have tried with more directness.
Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? wrestles with escapist and confrontational impulses, and continues the band's exploration of shifting sonic identity.
Deerhunter have often dealt in lofty, intense blows, but on album eight, they provide a breezy distraction from the chaos outside, and it's most welcome.
I'll probably never tire of hearing Cryptograms and can't imagine not regarding Monomania as the band's apex; Fading Frontier and Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? are significant albums, however, stylistic milestones for Deerhunter as well as fertile additions to rock's ever-broadening landscape.
It's utterly, completely, resolutely and defiantly them. It's futuristic but warm, nostalgic but distant, pretentious but human. It's a mess of contradictions, a jumble of cohesive ideas – and a reminder, if one were needed, what a great feeling it is to be part of a "small audience".
This atmospheric album switches from psych-pop to alt-rock to experimental lo-fi, held together by Bradford Cox's drawl.
It is unpredictable and compelling – classic Deerhunter.
Perhaps most important for those who have followed Deerhunter from the beginning, there's plenty to suggest that the group's creative energy will sustain it into middle age.
Despite the grim reality WHEAD draws attention to, songs like "No One's Sleeping" show that sonically, the album is an exuberant and tightly knit pop record.
'What Happens To People' and the instrumental 'Greenpoint Gothic' throw back to the ambient synth textures of earlier albums, but otherwise the sounds of harpsichord wires twisting and drum kits dissolving are spun into arch pop seemingly in homage to The Beatles or glam-era Bowie.
It may do, it may not – but half of the fun of this album lies in attempting to figure it out.
It's in the almost hidden contrasts of these songs that Deerhunter hits on a powerful formula for songcraft.

Study in Australia by international students is Australia's third largest export, ahead of iron ore and coal.
Study in Australia is most popular across universities and other tertiary institutions where international education generated $13.7 billion over the past 12 months.
More than 320,000 students from 130 different countries are currently studying at universities across Australia such as the award-winning Sydney University (pictured).
The international education industry supports more than 130,700 Australian jobs, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
"Australia is a destination of choice for overseas students," says Darrell Todd, founder of thinkingaustralia.
"More and more students are choosing to study Down Under because Australia has it all – high quality world-class education; an outstanding student experience; great weather and a rich culture.
Spending by overseas students in Melbourne currently generates $888 million in indirect revenue in regional Victoria and supports 5,478 regional Victorian jobs.
International students also make a big contribution to regional communities with around 5% of all overseas students living and studying in regional areas.


With a luminous and colossal track record, The Hollies have released some of the best-loved pop songs of all time: The Air That I Breathe (an American number 1), Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress), Bus Stop, I'm Alive, Carrie Anne, and of course the soul-stirring He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother ... the list goes on.
Bobby, drummer with The Hollies since 1963 and an excellent storyteller and public speaker, has at last written his own story – a fascinating insight into the lifestyle of a hard-working musician, with six decades (and counting) in a band of legendary status.
The Hollies still sell out tours in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, year after year, and Bobby is aware this is a useful platform for any publisher.
Rightly celebrated as "one of the very finest drummers in all of pop/rock", Bobby Elliott now tells his personal story.
