The 3rd generation Acura Integra is so fully integrated into the sport compact scene that it almost seems strange to see one that is factory stock and not covered with illest stickers. The ride height seems comically high and the wheels look tiny...but...if you are going to experience VTEC-yo in an Integra, this is the best way to do it. Find this 1995 Acura Integra GS-R offered for $8,600 in SF Valley Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.
The Integra you really want is the DC2 Type R, but they are impossible to find and demand a considerable premium when stock/nice. This GS-R is the next best thing and although it has 150k miles on the clock it is being sold by the original owner, so you can rest assured it hasn't been Fast'd and then Furious'd back to stock with a handful of missing bolts (I swear, that happens with every job I do, I've always got a few extra parts).
The GS-R (Grand Sport - Racing) version of the Integra was offered with a 1.8 liter B18 inline-4 dual over-head cam 4-banger that put out 170 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs of torque. It was state-of-the-art in 1993, but today the power won't seem impressive. At least the Integra only hits the scales at 2,600 lbs, so it should still run with the basic sport compact econ-cars on the dealer's lot today.
Everything looks stock on the inside, except for the grandma special lace-on steering wheel cover -- at least the wheel should be nice under that thing. You are going to want to remove it so you can experience the joys of turning one of the better tuned front-drive steering racks in the business -- Honda does a few things right, chief among them is shifter feel (snick-snick!) and steering effort for their sporty models -- not too light, not too hard.
I would absolutely love a 1993 GS-R (2nd Gen Integra), but this third gen always left me a little cold----I think it's the random usage of round headlights in an application where they look totally out of place.
Agreed. Ive always hated those headlights.
I think I'll wait for a clean 4-door GS-R to show up.
Those are like hens teeth. Finding one that hasn't been thrashed is even harder than finding this feature car unmolested. Believe me, I've been looking off and on for the better part of 2 years. I don't think there were too many GS-R sedans made compared to the coupes. Practically speaking, the sedan would suit me better as I have 3 young kids.
Here you go anony.......I suppose whether it would be a good choice would depend on your definition of "thrashed".
I had an exact replica of this car for several years. Wonderful to drive. Interior trim was very flimsy and cheap. Impossible to line up that front bumper/headlight combo. I forget why I had it off, polishing headlights or something.
The chassis was like driving a week old lettuce. Flopped and creaked and clunked all over. They sell those hundreds of chassis braces for a reason on these.
I had a lot of fun with it and I could see where 3-4k in performance parts could really bring it to life. It was very easy to work on and diagnose problems.
The visceral sound and feel of the intake and the engine down back roads was exquisite, and , despite my blown everything in the suspension, it handled quite nicely.
If you could ever find them not-destroyed by craptastic modifications under 200k miles i'd consider one again.
One thing I never understood was why this engine had 170hp, but a 1995 Honda Prelude VTEC with the same engine had 190 hp. Seems like the "premium brand" would have had the hp bump?
FTB, iirc the '95 'ludes had H22a's in them, which is a 2.2l engine. Whereas the Integra got the B18 series.
Ahhhh, makes more sense. Gracias. So then I guess my corrected question (from a marketing standpoint) would be "why didn't Acura give the GSR the H22a engine"?
Weight, dimensions and tilt I think. I want to say (and man, my Honda knowledge is about 15 years old at this point so someone please correct me) that the H series is 100-ish lbs heavier than the B series fully dressed. I also remember vaguely that the Integra comes from the civic platform, and the civic never (naturally) received an H series, whereas the Prelude may have had some relation to the Accord, which did receive the H series?
I could be way, way off. I know guys that have put H series engines in their civics before, and turbo'd them... but I know far more people with B18's in their civics in place of the B16 or Dseries.
I had a 99 GS-R for about 18 months around 2002/2003, which is a face-lifted version of this with better bumpers but inferior wheels. The fat fives on this are one of my favorite OEM wheels of all time.
Terrible insurance prices. My insurance agent was so shocked how expensive the car was to insure he wanted to come outside to see it in person. Someone broke in and stole the interior within the first year of ownership, and at 18 months someone stole the whole car and stripped the interior again, as well as wheels, fenders, and bumpers. Insurance company totaled the car at this point.
A really fun car to drive, but don't park it outside!
Amen to the no parking outdoors! I had a 95 GSR, after it was stolen the 2nd time they salvage titled it... primarily because it was in a high speed chase and PIT'ed. Coming from a Jeep Cherokee, the thing felt like a go-kart/supercar. 34mpg on the fwy helped soften the blow of ridiculous, car-payment-esque insurance prices (in central Indiana, no less!). I don't quite miss it enough to pay $10k for one... but maybe in 10 years.


The International DIPG Registry, created through funding by The Cure Starts Now, recently collaborated with Dr. Carl Koschmann on his study of "Secondary DIPGs" that result from the treatment therapies of medulloblastoma. We sat down with Dr. Koschmann to discuss what lead him to performing this study, and what role the Registry helped play in its completion.
What brought you to decide to do this study?
A number of biological factors, including age at diagnosis, symptom duration at diagnosis, and HIST1H3B mutation status, are associated with survival ≥2 years in children and young adults with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a brainstem malignancy with a median survival <1 year.
By the age of 15 years old Morgan Kottman touched the lives of many. That was evident by those who showed up to celebrate her birthday Sunday afternoon. "Today is ... would have been Morgan's 19th birthday so we thought it was a good day to have a party for her," Morgan's mother, Christine Kottman, said. Morgan passed away in 2014 from a DIPG brain tour. Family, friends, and Morgan's classmates remembered her during the third annual Morgan Kottman Birthday Walk.

The biggest events for Scottish sport in 2021
Andy Newport, PA
31 December 2020, 4:00 am ·4-min read
The year 2020 will be remembered for all the wrong reasons in the wake of the havoc wreaked across the globe by Covid-19.
However, as a new year dawns there is plenty to look forward to, not least for Scottish sport.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at five big events to keep an eye out for over the next 12 months.
Scotland return to international football's main stage

— Scotland National Team (@ScotlandNT) November 14, 2020
After two decades of hope and hurt, expectation followed by deflation, Steve Clarke's team finally delivered the golden ticket the nation had been longing for as they edged past Serbia on penalties to seal qualification for Euro 2020. Scotland will line-up at their first major tournament since 1998 when Hampden plays host to clashes against the Czech Republic and Croatia – while there is a tantalising trip to Wembley for the Tartan Army to look forward to in between. Let's just hope after all this time, Scotland serve up something that makes the wait worthwhile.
Golden chance as Olympics loom
Great Britain's Laura Muir hopes to fly the flag for Scotland in Tokyo (Ian Rutherford/PA)
Thirty-two years have now passed since Liz McColgan and Yvonne Murray became Scotland's last individual track athletes to climb onto an Olympic podium. However, there is growing belief that Laura Muir and Jemma Reekie are ready to equal that feat last achieved at the Seoul Games of 1988. Muir could only finish seventh in the 1500m final in 2016 – yet she ran the fastest 1500m time clocked anywhere in the world during 2020. Reekie, meanwhile, only lost one 800m race last year and also recorded the world's quickest time indoors. If both women can maintain those levels they should be in with a chance of a medal when they head to Tokyo in July.

— UEFA Europa League (@EuropaLeague) October 26, 2020
It is only three-and-a-half years since former Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha found himself standing in the middle of a bush trying to placate irate supporters after his team had been humbled by the not-so-mighty Progres Niederkorn of Luxembourg. But in the time since, new boss Steven Gerrard has made huge strides in restoring the club's European reputation to its former standing. He successfully steered his new-look side to the Europa League group stages for the first time in eight years just weeks after taking over. They made it as far as the last 16 in his second campaign while his third could barely have gone any better so far, with only two late slip-ups against Benfica denying the unbeaten Light Blues a perfect six wins out of six in the group. Royal Antwerp are next up in the last 32 but Gerrard has already made clear he is targeting the quarter-finals at least.
Tartan Tornado sets sights on clean sweep
I am going to give @RAMIREZBOXING a BAD beating ! He's Taylor made for the TTT 🏴👊🏼
— Josh Taylor (@JoshTaylorBoxer) December 22, 2020
Boxer Josh Taylor has ridden an express elevator to the top of the light-welterweight division, claiming both the WBA and IBF world titles inside 16 fights. The explosive Prestonpans puncher is now on a collision course with American Jose Ramirez, holder of the WBO and WBC straps, as they get set for a winner-takes-all unification bout. A date has yet to be set for the fight but the path has been cleared after WBO mandatory challenger Jack Catterall opted to step aside and allow his fellow Brit Taylor to go for glory. Promoter Bob Arum believes a date can be set for the first three months of the new year, with the only debate yet to be settled is on which side of the Atlantic the fight takes place.

— St Mirren FC (@saintmirrenfc) December 16, 2020
For the last four seasons, Celtic have held Scotland's three domestic trophies in an iron grip, winning 12 on the spin. But with Neil Lennon's team on the fade this term, the Hoops' stranglehold on silverware has slipped and it will be between Hibernian, Livingston, St Johnstone and St Mirren to battle it out at Hampden for the first major honour of the campaign. Hibs were the last team before Celtic to lift a cup with their 2016 Scottish Cup win and Jack Ross' men will be looking to grab another as they take on a struggling St Johnstone side in their January semi-final. St Mirren caused the shock of the competition so far when they dumped out a previously unbeaten Rangers but the Buddies face a Livi team hitting form under new boss David Martindale and both will fancy their chances of reaching the final on February 28.

In a recent interview with Dupart, she shared five tips to help millennial women boldly own their uniqueness, step into their power and drastically improve their digital footprint.
"The one piece of advice I constantly tell people is not to compare their brand to others," she declares. It's easy to get discouraged if you don't see immediate results and you're not pulling in a large number of likes, comments and shares or have a following of 100,000. "Keep in mind the same influencers you admire started off just like you," Dupart advises and encourages all startups to be consistent and get creative. Run your race at your own pace and don't compare your beginning stages to an established brand that has been operating for a while. The businesses that succeed are the ones that understand there is no such thing as an overnight success.
"Some people are making movies on Instagram; they edit and shoot like it's a Hollywood production. As a content creator, you may not have a Hollywood budget but the least you can do is have a clean lens and clear audio. Details matter," she describes. Content creation shows your followers that you take your business and their time seriously. In addition to creating great content, pay attention to the type of content your audience responds to. Dupart advises, "Once you understand your audience and their needs, you can convert them into loyal customers."
Dupart encourages you to identify the core values of your brand. She says, "I have always felt satisfaction from giving and it is a large part of who I am. So it makes sense that it's also a priority within my business; I love helping others succeed." And her audience has witnessed her generosity from producing community events like donating bikes to children in need, to sharing her experience through mentorship and speaking tours, and the recording breaking Christmas toy giveaway. Knowing your brand values will help craft consistent messaging that resonates with your followers resulting in organic growth and engagement. Dupart often provides opportunity for her audience to be featured on her social platforms. It speaks to her ability to promote and support other growing brands. "That's why I love social media, it doesn't matter what connections you have or don't have. What really matters is how much you hustle," Dupart says. She suggests curating the community that reflects the vision of your business. Your followers are not just followers; they are the living embodiment of your brand.
Creating a brand on social media can be unnerving and many are afraid to put themselves out there, but the one thing Dupart wishes people would realize is that their impact is bigger than their fear. "Your biggest critic is you. Somebody out there is in need of your story so it can push them to have their own success," states Dupart. She wants entrepreneurs and influencers to remember that they are inspirations too; just by trying they are encouraging someone else to take a chance. Dupart is releasing her debut book this Spring and hopes it will motivate more entrepreneurs and influencers to keep chasing their vision. "When I see new brands building their following on social media, I get excited. These are people who are taking a chance and pushing themselves further. They are pushing me to be better at the same time. That's the thing about social media, your impact, and your reach is completely limitless."

{% summary %} {% endsummary %}

When running in direct persistency mode (i.e. Read-Write Through) the IMDG interacts with the data source to persist its data where the client application would get the acknowledge for the IMDG operation only after **both** the IMDG and the `ExternalDataSource` acknowledged the operation. With this persistency mode, the IMDG operations performance would be heavily depended on the speed of the `ExternalDataSource` to commit the data and provide acknowledge back to the IMDG for the successful operation of the transaction. When having a mapping layer in between the IMDG and the data source that converts the IMDG objects to relational database tables data (i.e. [NHibernate](http://nhforge.org)), the time which takes to perform the conversion would also impact the acknowledge time and the application overall performance.

The above means you should be careful when using this persistency mode in case your application have the requirement to respond quickly (low latency) and scale in linear manner.

{% refer %}See the [Asynchronous Persistency](./asynchronous-persistency-with-the-mirror.html) mode that allows you to delegate the IMDG operation to the data storage as a background activity without impacting the application performance.{% endrefer %}

When the application reading data from the IMDG there are two operational modes you should consider:

- Having **All** Application Data within the IMDG - Enabled when running in `ALL_IN_CACHE` Cache policy mode. IMDG will not perform any lazy load in case matching object can't be found within the IMDG. This more provides the most deterministic performance.
- Having a **subset** of the Application Data within the IMDG - Enabled when running in `LRU` Cache policy mode. IMDG will perform lazy load (i.e. Read Through) in case of matching object can't be found within the IMDG. Lazy load might impact the performance and the scalability of the application.

{% refer %}See the [Memory Management Facilities]({%currentadmurl%}/memory-management-facilities.html) for details about the differences between `ALL_IN_CACHE` and the `LRU` cache policies.{% endrefer %}

The Cache policy mode impacts also the initialization of the IMDG instance and the way it is reading data from the data source to bootstrap itself.

- With **`ALL_IN_CACHE`** Cache policy - Each IMDG instance iterating through the database and loading all the relevant data.
- With **`LRU`** Cache policy - Each IMDG instance iterating through the database and loading only partial amount of data (based on the Initial-load , memory-usage and Cache Size settings).

{% refer %}See the [Space Persistency Initial Load](./space-persistency-initial-load.html) for details how you can change the default behavior of the IMDG bootstrapping process once started.{% endrefer %}

Direct persistency mode supports the following database topologies:

- [A central database](#central)

{% indent %}
![data-grid-sync-persist.jpg](/attachment_files/data-grid-sync-persist.jpg)
{% endindent %}

- [Distributed databases](#distributed)

{% indent %}
![data-grid-sync-persist_non_central_db.jpg](/attachment_files/data-grid-sync-persist_non_central_db.jpg)
{% endindent %}

{% anchor central %}

# Central Database

With the central database topology, a single database instance is used to store all the IMDG data. In this case only the primary IMDG instance will update the database. The backup IMDG instance will not update the database. The backup IMDG instance will update the database only once it will turn to be a primary in case of a failure or shutdown of the primary IMDG instance.

A Data-Grid running in Direct persistency mode using central database topology, having all data within the IMDG would have the following configuration:

{% highlight xml %}
<ProcessingUnit>
  <EmbeddedSpaces>
    <add Name="space">
      <ExternalDataSource Type="GigaSpaces.Practices.ExternalDataSource.NHibernate.NHibernateExternalDataSource">
        <!-- NHibernate-specific config goes here -->
      </ExternalDataSource>
      <Properties>
        <!-- Use ALL IN CACHE - No Read Performed from the database in lazy manner-->
        <add Name="space-config.engine.cache_policy" Value="1"/>
        <add Name="cluster-config.cache-loader.external-data-source" Value="true"/>
        <add Name="cluster-config.cache-loader.central-data-source" Value="true"/>
      </Properties>
    </add>
  </EmbeddedSpaces>
</ProcessingUnit>
{% endhighlight %}

{% anchor distributed %}

# Distributed Databases

With the distributed databases topology, each IMDG instance uses its own database instance to store its data. In this case both the primary and the backup IMDG instances will update the database once IMDG operation is called or being replicated (to the backup).

A Data-Grid running in Direct persistency mode using distributed databases topology (non-central), having all the data within the IMDG would have the following configuration:

{% highlight xml %}
<ProcessingUnit>
  <EmbeddedSpaces>
    <add Name="space">
      <ExternalDataSource Type="GigaSpaces.Practices.ExternalDataSource.NHibernate.NHibernateExternalDataSource">
        <!-- NHibernate-specific config goes here -->
      </ExternalDataSource>
      <Properties>
        <!-- Use ALL IN CACHE - No Read Performed from the database in lazy manner-->
        <add Name="space-config.engine.cache_policy" Value="1"/>
        <add Name="cluster-config.cache-loader.external-data-source" Value="true"/>
        <add Name="cluster-config.cache-loader.central-data-source" Value="false"/>
      </Properties>
    </add>
  </EmbeddedSpaces>
</ProcessingUnit>
{% endhighlight %}

{% refer %}See the [Space Persistency](./space-persistency.html) section for full details about the properties you may configure.{% endrefer %}

# Supported Options

The following table lists the supported options:

{: .table .table-bordered}
|**Cache Policy**|**Central Data Source**|**Replication Recovery enabled**|**Amount of data loaded via the initial load**|**Data filtering at the initial load enabled**|
|:---------------|:----------------------|:-------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------|
|LRU|YES|NO|Up to amount of initial load percentage value `*`|YES|
|ALL\_IN\_CACHE|YES|YES|All database data |YES|
|LRU|NO|YES|Up to amount of initial load percentage value `*`|NO|
|ALL\_IN\_CACHE|NO|YES|All database data |NO |

`*` Up to amount of initial load percentage value (50%) that is the percentage of `cache_size` value.

When running with LRU cache policy and `ExternalDataSource` setup:

- Lazily loaded objects (as a result of a cache miss) and object loaded via initial data load are not replicated to the backup or replica space.
- Write operations and update operations are not replicated when running in distributed DB mode.
- Evicted objects are replicated when using the take operation with the `EVICT_ONLY` modifier.

An Energy Efficient Mortgage, or EEM, may provide home buyers with the ability to qualify for a larger loan than a traditional mortgage loan. Whether the purchase is a new or existing home, one that is already energy efficient or one that the buyer will make energy efficient following the purchase, the idea behind the EEM is simple.
A more energy efficient and therefore more affordable home enables you, the home buyer, to qualify for a larger loan. The EEM accounts for the home owner spending less money on energy consumption and applies that savings as income in underwriting the loan. Case in point: A mortgage customer with a gross income of ,000 might qualify for a ,000 home with a traditional mortgage loan, but with an EEM loan that figure could increase to a borrowing capacity of ,000!
Qualifying for an Energy Efficient Mortgage is similar to qualifying for a traditional conforming mortgage. The underwriter considers the mortgage applicant's credit score, debt to income ratio, ability to repay the loan, etc. – just like a traditional loan. The application process differs in that it begins with a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) report on the existing home or the plans of the new home being built. With new homes, the report identifies how energy efficient the home is, while with existing homes, the report identifies how the home's energy efficiency can be improved through the installation of energy saving features.
For existing homes, the cost of the proposed efficiency updates can actually be financed through your EEM loan. When the HERS report is presented, it details the current energy efficiency of the home and provides a checklist of improvements that can be made to improve the home's energy efficiency. Consumers can then borrow up to 15% of the home's appraised value in order to make the energy efficient improvements. For a home that appraises at ,000, you could finance up to ,000 for energy efficient upgrades!
The important thing to understand about Energy Efficient Mortgages is that can potentially help borrowers leverage a slightly larger loan amount than they might otherwise qualify for. EEMs don't necessarily impact the interest rate on the loan: As with any mortgage, the interest rate is tied to a buyer's credit score. That said, there is a effort undertaken by the Energy Programs Consortium to enhance EEM products by offering reduced rates, but as of this writing that has not yet materialized.
Thus, the benefit of the current structure of Energy Efficient Mortgages EEM lies in the debt to income ratio adjustments that result from the underwriting process in an Energy Efficient Mortgage. The incentive for homebuyers to utilize EEM's comes from realizing the benefit of lower utility bills, being able to qualify for a more expensive home and knowing that their home's carbon footprint is as small as it can be.


The Defence Headquarters has raised the alarm over the new video released by Boko Haram containing some of the abducted Chibok girls.
Reacting, the Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar on Thursday said the video could have been doctored as the military was yet to authenticate it.
According to Abubakar, though the military is concerned about the whereabouts of the abducted girls who are in custody of the insurgents, the video had nothing to do with the ongoing military operation in the North-East.
Abubakar said, "The Nigeria Armed Forces would never give up for blackmail and mere media war. We remain focused in dealing with the matter at hand and would be steadfast in that course.
"The truth will come out in the nearest future; we are always hopeful through our unrelenting commitment to the protection of our country from any form of aggression. Our unified operations will go on and success is on our side.
"Terrorists by their nature rely on cheap publicity, using the social media to confuse those who don't know their antics.
"In as much as we care for the rescue of the Chibok girls, which is our target, we are equally not closing our eyes to the rescue of any person or persons in Boko Haram custody, as we have been doing in recent times.
"Over 10,000 persons have so far been rescued since the new leadership came on board in the military. And we shall continue in that direction, no matter the media reports.

"Curthose", Duke/Prince of NORMANDY 1087-1106, Count of MAINE.
Kings and Queens of Great Britain, Genealogical Chart, Anne Taute and Romilly Squire, Taute, 1990: "Robert II Curthose Duke of Normandy, Mar Sybilla Daughter of Geoffrey of Conversana, Died 1134."
The Political History of England, Vol II, George Burton Adams Longmans Green and Co, 1905, Ch I, p60:
[1073] "...In the year after his Scottish expedition he was called to Normandy by a revolt in his early conquest, the county of Maine, which it required a formidable campaign to subdue. William's plan to attach this important province to Normandy by a marriage between his son Robert and the youngest sister of the last count had failed through the death of the proposed heiress, and thecounty had risen in favour of her elder sister, the wife of the Italian Marquis Azo or of her son...By a later treaty with Fulk of Anjou, Robert was recognized as Count of Maine, but as a vassal of Anjou and not of Normandy."
p65: [1082]"Much more of the last ten years of William's life was spent in Normandy than in England. Revolts of unruly barons, attacks on border towns or castles, disputes with the king of France, were constantly occupying him with vexatious details, thoug with nothing of serious import. Most vexatious of all was the conduct of his son Robert. With the eldest son of William opens in English history a long line of the sons and brothers of kings, in a few cases of kings themselves, who are giftedwith popular qualities, who make friends easily, but who are weak in character, who cannot control men or refuse favours, passionate and selfish, hardly strong enough to be violently wicked as others of the line are, but causes of constant evil to themselves and their friends and sometimes to the state. And with him opens also the long series of quarrels in the royal family, of which the French kings were quick to take advantage, and from which they were in the end to gain so much.The ground of Robert's rebellion was the common one of dissatisfaction with his position and his father's refusal to part with any of his power in his favour. Robert was not able to excite any real insurrection in Normandy, but with the aid ofhis friends and of the French king he maintained a border war for some time, and defended castles with success against the king. His is said even, in one encounter, to have wounded and been on the point of slaying his father. For some time he wandered in exile in the Rhine valley, supported by gifts sent him by his mother, in spite of the prohibition of her husband. Once he was reconciled with his father, only to begin his rebellion again. When the end came, William left him Normandy, but people thought at least that he did it unwillingly, foreseeing the evil which his character was likely to bring on any land over which he ruled."
p85: [1089] "In the meantime, from the beginning of Robert's rule inthe duchy across the channe, the condition of things there had been a standing invitation to his brother to interfere. Robert is a fair example of the worst type of men of the Norman-Angevin blook. Not bad in intention, and not without abilities, he was weak with that weakness most fatal fo all in times when the will of the ruler gave its only force to law, the inability to say no, the lack of firm resisting power...but Robert's prodigality of gifts was greater than the judgement of his own time approved, and, combined with the inability to make himself respected or obeyed, which often goes with such generosity, it was the source of most of his difficulites. His ideal seemed to be that every man should have what he wanted, and soon it was apparent that he had retained very little for himself..."
p112: [1100] "...But not every one was ready to admit the claim of Henry [I]. Between him and the door of the treasury William of Breteuil, who also had been of the hunting party and who was the responsible keeper of the hoard, took his stand. Against the demand of Henry he set the claim of Robert, the better claim according even to the law of that day, though the law which he urged was less that which would protect the right of the eldest born than the feudal law regarding homage done and fealty sworn. `If we are going to act legally,' he said to Henry, `we ought to remember the fealty which we have promised to Duke Robert, your brother. He is, too, the eldestborn son of King William, and you and I, my Lord Henry, have done him homage. We ought to keep faith to him absent in all respects as if he were present.' He followed his law by an appeal to feeling, referring to Robert's crusade. `He has beenlabouring now a long time in the service of God, and God has resotred to him, without conflict, his duchy, which as a pilgrim he laid aside for love of Him.' Then a strife arose, and a crowd of men ran together to the spot. We can imagine theywer not merely men of the city, but also many of the king's train who must have ridden after Henry from the Forest. Whoever they were, they supported Henry, for we are told that as the crowd collected the courage of the `heir who was demandinghis right' increased. Henry drew his sword and declared he would permit no `frivolous delay.' His insistence and the support of his friends prevailed, and castle and treasury were turned over to him.
"This it was which really determined who should be king. Not that the question was fully settled then, but the popular determination which showed itself in the crowd that gathered around the disputants in Winchester probably showed itself, in the days that followed, to be the determination of England in general, and thus held in check those who would have supported Robert, while Henry rapidly pushed events to a conclusion and so became king..."
p127: [1101] "Robert had returned to Normandy from the Holy Land beforethe arrival of Anselm in England. He had won much golry on the crusade, and in the rush of events and in the constant fighting, where responsibility for the management of affairs did not rest upon him alone, he had shown himself a man of energy and power. But he came back unchanged in character. Even during the crusade he had relapsed at times into his more indolent and careless mood, from which he had been roused with difficulty...He was, however, now under no obligation to redeemNormandy. The loan for which he had pledged the duchy was regarded as a personal debt to William Rufus, not a debt to the English crown, and Henry laid no claim to it. Robert took possession of Normandy without opposition from any quarter. It is probable that if Robert had been left to hemself, he would have been satisfied with Normandy, and that his easy-going dispositon would have led him to leave Henry in undisturbed possession of England. But he was not left to himself. The events which had occurred soon after the accession of William Rufus repeated themselves soon after Henry's. No Norman baron could expect to gain any more of the freedom which he desired under Henry than he had had under William. The two states wouldalso be separated once more if Henry remained king of England. Almost all the Normans accordingly applied to Robert, as they had done before, and offered to support a new attempt to gain the crown...Natural ambition was not wanting to Robert, and in the summer of 1101 he collected his forces for an invasion of England..."
p144: [1106] "The battle upon which Henry [I] embarked in August ended by the close of September in a success greater than he could have anticipated. He first attacked the castle of Tinchebrai, belonging to William of Mortain, and left a fortified post there to hold it in check. As soon as the king had retired, William came to the relief of his castle, reprovisioned it, and shut up the king's men in their defences. Then Henry advanced in turn with his own forces and his allies, and began a regular siege of the castle...
"The battle was fought on September 28, and it was fiercely fought, the hardest fight and with the largest forcesof any in which Normans or Englishmen had been engaged for forty years. The main body of both armies fought on foot. The Count of Mortain, in command of Robert's first division, charged Henry's front, but was met with a resistance which he could not overcome. In the midst of this struggle Robert's flank was charged by Henry's mounted allies, under Count Elias of Maine, and his position was cut in two. Robert of Belleme, who commanded the rear division, seeing the battle going againstthe duke, took to flight and left the rest of the army to its fate. This was apparently to surrender in a body. Henry reports the number of common soldiers whom he had taken as ten thousand, too large a figure, no doubt, but implying the capture of Robert's whole force. His prisoners of name comprised all the leaders of his brother's side except Robert of Belleme, including the duke himself, Edgar the English atheling, who was soon released, and William of Mortain. The victory at once made Henry master of Normandy. There could be no further question of this..."
p146: "...It is of especial interest that the worst men of the prisoners taken at Tinchebrai were here condemned to perpetual imprisonment. The name of Robert is not mentioned among those included in this judgment, and later Henry justifies his conduct toward his brother on the ground of political necessity, not of legal right. The result of all these measures- we may believe it would have been theresult of the conquest alone- was to put an end at once to the disorder, private warfare, and open robbery from which the duchy had so long suffered...Robert was carried over to England, to a fate for which tehre could be little warrant in strict law, but which was abundantly deserved and fully supported by the public opinion of the time. He was kept in prison in one royal castle or another until his death, twenty-eight years later. If Henry's profession was true, as it probably was, that he kept him as a royal prisoner should be kept, and supplied him with the luxuries he enjoyed so much, the result was, it is possible, not altogether disagreeable to Robert himself. Some time later, when the pope remonstrated with Henryon his conduct, and demanded the release of Robert, the king's defence of his action was so complete that the pope had no reply to make. Political expediency, the impossiblity of otherwise maintaining peace, was the burden of his answer, and this, if not actual justice, must still be Henry's defence for his treatment of his brother."
p188: "A short time before [Geoffrey's birth in Jun 1134], the long imprisonment of Robert of Normandy closed with his death, and the future for which Henry had so long worked must have seemed to him secure..."
The New Columbia Encyclopedia, 1975, p2333, Robert II: "(Robert Curthose) c1054-1134. duke of Normandy (1087-1106); eldest son of King William I of England. Aided by King PhilipI of France, he rebelled (1077) against his father. Father and son became reconciled, but Robert was later exiled. At William's death he inherited Normandy. England fell to his younger brother William II, with whom Robert was intermittently atwar (1090-96) until Robert went (1096-1100) on the First Crusade. While he was away William II died and Henry I, youngest son of William I, was crowned. Robert invaded (1101) England but was forced to recognize Henry. In Normandy, Robert's misgovernment propmted an invasion by Henry (1105), who defeated (1106) Robert at Tindhebrai, seized Normandy, and kept Robert a prisoner. See biography by C W David (1920)."
The Oxford Book of Royal Anecdotes, Elizabeth Longford, 1991, Oxford Univ Press, pxix: "Normans and Plantagenets Genealogy: Robert Duke of Normandy, died 1134."
A History of the English Speaking People Winston S Churchill Vol I The Birth of Britain Dodd Mead & Co p169:
"...Queen Matilda was a capable regentat Rouen, but plagued by the turbulence of her sons. The eldest, Robert, a Crusading knight, reckless and spendthrift, with his father's love of fighting and adventure but without his ruthless genius or solid practical aims, resented William'spersistent hold on life and impatiently claimed his Norman inheritance. Many a time the father was called across the Channel to chastise rebellious towns and forestall the conspiracies of his son with the French Court. Robert, driven from his father's lands, found refuge in King Philip's castle of Gerberoi. William marched implacably upon him. Beneath the walls two men, visor down, met in single combat, father and son. Robert wounded his father in the hand and unhorsed him, and wouldindeed have killed him but for a timely rescue by an Englishman, one Tokig of Wallingford, who remounted the overthrown conqueror. Both were sobered by this chance encounter, and for a time there was reconciliation."
p179: "...William I's decision to divide his English from his Norman lands brought new troubles in its train...Both Duke Robert and William II were dissatisfied with the division, and their brotherly ties did not mitigate their covetous desires. During the thirteen years of the reign of William the Anglo-Norman realms were vexed by fratricidal strife and successive baronial revolts...The feckless Robert, who had plagued the Conqueror so long, eventually departed in a fit of gallantry on the First Crusade, leaving Normandy pawned to Rugus for the loan of 10,000 marks..."

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1981, Micropaedia, Vol IV, p1022, Henry I of England: "Crowned king of England (1100) in succession to his brother William II while his elder brother, Robert Curthose, was away on the First Crusade, Henry successfully asserted his right to the succession when Robert invaded England in 1101 and also took Normandy from him in 1106.
Macropaedia, VolVIII, p763, Henry I of England: "The youngest and ablest of William the Conqueror's sons,...he was crowned at Westminster, on August 5, 1100, three days after his brother, King William II, William the Conqueror's second son, had been killed ina hunting accident. Duke Robert Curthose, the eldest of the three brothers, who by feudal custom had succeeded to his father's inheritance, Normandy, was returning from the First Crusade and could not assert his own claim to the English throneuntil the following year. The succession was precarious, however, because a number of wealthy Anglo- Norman barons supported Duke Robert, and Henry moved quickly to gain all the backing he could...and he recalled St. Anselm, the scholarly archbishop of Canterbury whom his brother, William II, had banished.
"When Robert Curthose finally invaded England in 1101 several of the greatest barons defected to him. But Henry, supported by a number of his barons, most of the Anglo-Saxons, and St. Anselm, worked out an amicable settlement with the invaders. Robert relinquished his claim to England, receiving in return Henry's own territories in Normandy and a large annuity.
"Although a crusading hero, Robert was a self-indulgent, vacillating ruler who allowed Normandy to slip into chaos. Normand churchmen who fled to England urged Henry to conquer and pacify the duchy and thus provided moral grounds for Henry's ambition to reunify his father's realm at his brother's expense. Paving his way with bribes to Norman barons and agreements with neighbouring princes, in 1106 Henry routed Robert's army at Tinchebrai in southwestern Normandy. Robert was captured and remained Henry's prisoner for the rest of hislife."

Online proof-reading tools come handy when you need to quickly check grammar, spellings mistakes, word usage, vocabulary etc. in your papers, blog posts, emails and documents. You can also check for plagiarism and originality of your text. These tools are best in checking and correcting English grammar and spellings.
If you want to be a successful blogger it is important that you write your posts in correct language. No matter which language you use in your blog, your posts and documents must not contain any spelling or grammar mistakes. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you thoroughly proofread text and check grammar before posting it online. Proof-reading should actually be a habit as it makes you a better writer. Although sometimes people feel irritated when MS Word shows all those red green wavy underlines to mark spelling and grammar mistakes, but it is in your interest that you remove all the proof related errors from your content.
Top 10 Online and Free Proofreading Tools.
There are several free online proofreading tools and website services that can help you in checking your post content. Let's take a look at the top 10 free online proofreading websites and see how good they are.
Before I begin with the top 10 free and online proof-reading tools, let me tell you that MS-Word is obviously the world's most used proof-reading facility. It is quite powerful in finding spelling and grammar mistakes. MS-Word supports a large number of languages including Hindi and other Indian languages. Not only it marks the spelling and grammar mistakes for you to review, MS-Word also provides facility of auto-correcting the often made errors.
To use MS-Word, you would not need to have Internet connection and you can easily save your work in your local computer. But there is one thing I don't like about MS-Word. It automatically changes the plain quotes with smart curly quotes. So, when you copy text from MS-Word and paste it in your blog post, instead of plain quotes, what you get are the curly quotes. I personally like plain quote marks, but it is just a matter of personal preference. There is no real drawback or advantage of either.
There are a lot of free online proof-reader tools —some are good, and some are not-so-good. I am presenting here the top 10 of these tools based on my experience.
Grammarly can be installed as an extension in your web browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. It is also available as a plugin for MS-Word and MS-Outlook.
The tool makers claim that Grammarly checks your text for more than 250 grammar rules. Needless to say, it can also check spellings. Grammarly can detect if a word is spelled correctly but has been used in wrong context. Going even further, Grammarly will make suggestions to enhance your documents vocabulary by suggesting better words as replacement, according to the context.
Because Grammarly works as a browser extension, everything that you will type within your browser will be automatically scanned for grammar and spellings. As a result, you'll be able to make Facebook posts, publish blog posts and write emails —all without any grammar or spelling mistakes.
Grammarly provides a plagiarism checker feature as well. As I have been constantly telling all the bloggers, copying material from anywhere on the web is the worst thing you can do to your blog. Plagiarism attracts heavy penalty from major search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo!. Sometimes, however, your content may have unintentional similarities with another webpage. But search engines will not be able to distinguish if this similarity was intentional or not, they will all the same put a penalty on your website. Therefore, it is important that you check your posts for plagiarism.
WordPress also provides in-built proof-reading facility through plugins.
Google has been developing online office tools under the Google Docs project, and they have succeeded in creating very useful products! Lately these tools have been shifted under the Google Drive. Among these, a word processing tool is also available. It works on the lines of MS-Word. And thus provides the proof-reading features as well. Proof-reader facility in Google Docs is very powerful (after all it's Google's project!). The added advantage is that your document gets saved online in Google Drive. As a result, you'll able to access and edit your document from any computer in the world.
Screenshot showing proof-reading feature in Google Docs.
Google Docs also allows a lot of add-ons. In addition to the in-built proofreading features from Google, you can extend this functionality by using suitable add-ons. For example, Consistency Checker is an add-on that will check consistency of word usage in your document (like, US and U.S. ; in-line and inline ; color and colour).
If you do not want to install any plugins in your browser and just want to proof-read a piece of text by copy-pasting, then PaperRater is a good tool for you. It is a website based tool. You go to PaperRater website and paste the text you want to check. PaperRater gives you report on spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, suggestions on word choice and style of writing; and a plagiarism report as well.
This tool works even better for proofreading research papers. When you submit text, PaperRater actually asks you about the education level of the writer and then it checks the text on the basis of your input. PaperRater can specifically proof-read different types of documents; e.g. resume, biography, lab report, essay, thesis, speech, letter, research paper, review, short story, business communication and personal diary.
PaperRater can also check for the originality of your content (originality is an extremely important aspect in research papers).
PaperRater is an online proof-reading tool for research papers and other similar documents.
"Make No Mistakes" is the punchline of Ginger online proof-reading tool. You can install Ginger proof-reader as Google Chrome extension or MS-Office plugin. It is also available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
In addition to grammar and spelling check, Ginger also provides some more interesting features. It has an in-built sentence rephraser, a tool that can suggest you different ways to write the same sentence. Ginger also has in-built dictionaries and text-to-speech (TTS) modules. TTS can read out the submitted text. Moreover, Ginger also offers a Personal English Trainer module that helps you to test and better your English language skills.
Ginger provides several online language tools including proofreading.
After the Deadline is a tool that is based on open source technologies. The developers have made the service available through several methods. After the Deadline has a WordPress plugin that you can install on a WordPress website or blog. Developers have also created After the Deadline extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Windows Live Writer. This service is available through many other platforms.
After the Deadline is not available as a plugin for MS-Word. If you don't want to install any plugin and just want to do a quick proofreading, the developers have created a simple web interface at Polish My Writing. On this webpage, you can simply copy-paste the text and ask After the Deadline to do the proof reading.
After the Deadline is an open source online proofreading facility.
Slick Write is a very simple web interface. It helps you in making sure that your documents contain no grammatical errors. The thing I really like about Slick Write is that its interface is very clean but still it is a power-packed tool. After analyzing the text submitted by you, it shows a good deal of useful information about the text. For example, it will show flow related information (structural flow, sentence length flow and word length flow) for various sentences and phrases in your document. Slick Write gives you statistics like how many function words, adverbs, pronouns and uncommon words have been used in your document.
Slick Write website also has a word association game to help you develop new and creative phrases!
ProWritingAid gives you all this, and more, besides the regular grammar and spell checking. However, not all the features of ProWritingAid are free.
ProofHQ is not entirely free proofreading service. But it provides a 14 day free trial in which you can use and test the ProofHQ features. It provides a platform for collaborative writing. Team members can track changes made in a document. This proofing and document management tool is very useful for those who are into professional content development.
If you're looking for a similar but completely free tool, you should consider Google Docs, which I mentioned above. Google Docs also provides features that allow concurrent editing and version management of a document.
ProofReadBot lets you paste text and then it checks the text for all sorts of grammar and spelling mistakes. This tool is a bit slow in doing proofreading but it produces a comprehensive report on all the errors and suggestions related with the proof of your text.
With the help of technology, it has become pretty simple to do all the basic and advanced grammar checks on your text. Above I have listed the top 10 of the free online proofreading facilities. I would suggest that you try all these websites and see which one provides you the results that you're seeking. None of these tools is perfect. They all have their own advantages and drawbacks. Requirements of every user are different. Therefore you should select a tool that suits you the best.
Importance of proofreading and posting correct error-free text can not be overstated. You must make efforts to remove all the grammar and spelling errors from your posts, documents and papers. Bad language gives a very bad impression. Make sure you present the perfectly crafted document to your users.
Useful information for linguists and others who wants to improve their language skills. Thank you for this compilation.
great research bro. Can you kindly suggest some more listing?
Thanks Lalit! Loved the post.
I've been been writing for 10 years already and proofreading is really hard thing and sometimes I don't have time to do it by myself and I use some websites for help and it's really rescue tools. Most frequently I use Ginger, WordPress Proofreading and Unplag plagiarism checker instead of Grammarly, it's cheaper, but equally well (if no better), at least it does everything what I wait from plagiarism checker. It doesn't save or share my files, it's fast and simple in using. Try it, I believe you'll like it.
But still thank you a lot for the post, I'll try other tools from your list, hope I'll find something better.
Where is whitecloud on this list. Is it any good or just so-so?
I could not find how to subscribe to Grammarly online. I would love to try it for a week or so and then really decide. I do not like the idea of paying for a whole year. Is there a way to pay for a quarter. If so then send me the website.
Yes, Rungroj, online proofreading tools are very useful for researchers, students and teachers alike.

As the city of Houston approached midnight on March 1, 2016, NASA astronaut Scott Kelly landed on Earth—in Kazakhstan, to be exact—after having spent the previous 340 days in orbit. It was the longest consecutive period of time any American had ever been in space, but Scott's mission wasn't just about breaking records. Close to 400 experiments took place during his year on the International Space Station (ISS), with he himself being perhaps the most important of them all.
One of NASA's primary objectives in Scott's extended deployment was to study the effects of longer duration space travel on the human body with an eye toward future missions, including a human-piloted trip to Mars. To collect the necessary data, Scott underwent extensive medical evaluations prior to launch, collected frequent samples while aboard the ISS, and is slated to undergo rigorous medical assessments now that he has returned to Earth's standard gravitational pull. It's all expected to provide researchers with invaluable insight into the myriad known and unknown ways weightlessness might influence the interworking of human biological systems, but the experiment has a twist: Scott has an identical twin.
Captain Mark Kelly, the elder of the brothers by six minutes, is himself a retired astronaut and has been serving as a control subject here on Earth—undergoing many of the same tests and collecting numerous samples of his own. Of course, Mark isn't a perfect benchmark: the pair have been eating different diets, engaging in varying levels and types of physical activity, and, at least while Scott was in space, embracing daily routines in stark contrast to one another. Aboard the ISS, Scott's day-to-day was characterized by a regimented schedule in a confined and fixed environment. Mark, on the other hand, spent the past year traveling around the country with his wife, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords—who survived an assassination attempt in 2011—advocating for gun violence prevention on behalf of their organization Americans for Responsible Solutions.
While the customary scientific method may cringe at how seemingly unempirical the baseline data might be, the twins' different environments are actually the point. With nearly identical genomes, scientists have the opportunity to delve into the molecular-level details of the twins' DNA, RNA, proteins and metabolites and tease out genetic changes that may have been caused by spaceflight itself. Essentially, their hope is to answer the age-old question of nature vs. nurture—just, you know, in space.
The potential applications won't stop with mankind landing on an asteroid or setting up camp in a Martian crater. As with anything NASA has ever done, the aptly named Twins Study will benefit more than just the mission at hand or the astronauts involved.
"I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that everything we learn about the human body, whether it's in space or on the ground, benefits all of us here on earth," said John Charles, Ph.D., chief scientist for NASA's Human Research Program.
NASA developed the Human Research Program in early 2004 to support the health and performance of individuals traveling to space, based on the acknowledgment that time spent in space does present risks. The agency had already observed higher amounts of radiation exposure (astronauts on the ISS experience as much as 20 times more radiation than on Earth) as well as fluid shifts and bone and muscle loss in astronauts returning from short stints in space, and with hopes for further exploration, a branch dedicated to the development of new methods and technologies to mitigate these concerns was critical. Working closely with the Human Research Program on this endeavor is the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI), a consortium governed by 12 institutions, including Texas Medical Center members Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University, dedicated to reducing the human risks inherent in long duration spaceflight while also translating their research into applications for advancing human health here on Earth. When the Twins Study was initiated—after an innocent question from the brothers themselves—the Human Research Program and NSBRI put out an industrywide call for proposals. Ultimately, 10 investigations covering a wide scope of scientific inquiry were selected, and thus began a first-of-its-kind broad-spectrum analysis of how the human body adjusts to zero gravity, radiation exposure, isolation and the unique stressors of the spaceflight environment.
Two of the 10 studies look specifically at human physiology and how microgravity may provoke changes in muscles and organs such as the heart or the brain.
One of these studies, jointly led by NASA and the Dana-Farber/ Harvard Cancer Center, will study metabolomic and genomic markers of atherosclerosis as related to oxidative stress, inflammation and vascular function, taking an in-depth look at the cardiovascular health and function of Scott and Mark before, during and after the mission.
The second of the physiology studies involves proteomics—the study of the structure and function of proteins—to understand fluid shifts in the body and the potential association of those shifts with visual impairment and intracranial pressure. Without gravity to pull fluids like blood down toward the legs, the balance of the body's fluids changes, which may explain the altered vision so many astronauts describe after several months in space and after returning to Earth.
A third study covers behavioral health. Understandably, long duration space flight, characterized by a confined and foreign environment, the absence of friends and family, and few if any creature comforts, could provoke fluctuations in mental capacity and overall function. This investigation, organized by the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine in conjunction with Pulsar Informatics, a tech company that creates tools to measure behavioral performance, hopes to identify some of the effects spaceflight may have on perception and reasoning as well as decisionmaking and alertness.
Another investigation, managed by Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, Rush University Medical Center and the University of Illinois, covers microbiology and the microbiome, which is the study of the microbial ecosystem within the human body. The microbiome is often cited as a "second human genome" and has been heralded as the key to groundbreaking new treatments for a wide variety of common conditions and diseases. This investigation will utilize metagenomics sequencing to compare the microbiome in the GI tracts of the twins to determine how their dietary differences and unique stressors may affect the interplay of the trillions of tiny organisms living in their guts.
The remaining six research investigations fall under a broad category known as omics, a field of molecular study that takes into account the integrative nature of various biological forces, many of which happen to end in the suffix "-omics" (think genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics and metabolomics). These investigations will examine genetic changes between the twins as well as variations in proteins and metabolites in biological samples such as blood, saliva, urine and stool, covering a broad spectrum of analysis including whole genome sequencing, epigenetics, biochemical profiles and immune response, among others.
One of the omics studies, run by NASA and Colorado State University, will take a comprehensive look at the telomeres in Scott and Mark's DNA and the telomerase concentrations in their cells. Telomeres are regions of repetitive nucleotide sequences that serve as "caps" at the end of each chromosome, intended to protect the end of the strands of DNA during replication. Over time, as an organism ages and its chromosomes engage in ongoing replication, its telomeres become shorter. Thus, measuring a person's telomere length will indicate a true age of that person's cells—researchers believe that telomere length will be based not only on age as it relates to time but also on environmental factors such as diet, radiation exposure, disease or a host of other stressors.
By comparing Mark's and Scott's telomeres, scientists may get a glimpse at the molecular-level effects of space travel on cellular aging, something that will be necessary to understand before sending a crewed mission to Mars, but that may also provide invaluable insight into how we view and subsequently treat issues related to aging here on earth.
The results could have widespread value in the medical world, since many of the diseases and conditions that most often plague humans have origins in the passage of time. Even more, telomere research has promising applications in cancer research, with studies showing that telomere dysfunction is common in tumor development and that malignant cells experience seemingly unlimited telomere extension capabilities.
As Charles previously explained, anything NASA and the research institutions learn about the human body in preparation for years-long space travel will inevitably prove useful to medicine here on Earth, because the human body is still the human body, wherever it may be. Furthermore, the process of the research itself is expected to have groundbreaking implications in the medical field and beyond. Its design is revolutionary in breadth and scope, not only because of the variables (identical twins and space), but also because of the integrated nature of the studies and the kind of data being collected.
In addition, the detailed evaluation of Mark and Scott's individual genomes harks to the rapidly growing field of personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, in which diagnosis and treatment is tailored to the individual based on molecular-level analysis and genetic makeup. The researchers will be studying the brothers in such detail that both were asked to meet on multiple occasions with genetic counselors from Baylor to discuss the ethical implications of knowing so much about their DNA.
Because a mapped genome has the potential to expose genes that carry inherited diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, counselors help individuals understand the risks and benefits of knowing their genetic results, as well as disease management options, if needed.
It's a lot of data and information, not just for NASA and the twins themselves, but for universities, medical centers and cancer hospitals interested in developing the best methods for understanding diseases and developing future therapeutics. And while it will be invaluable in some ways for the future of space travel and medicine alike, many unknowns will remain, and there will still be much to do after the study is completed.
In the meantime, the twins continue to work closely with NASA to collect samples and undergo clinical assessments. And aside from the obvious differences— Scott's fatigue from what he's described as "extreme jet lag" and Mark's significantly better tan—most of the variances won't be made available to the public for quite some time. Scientific analysis on the bulk of the samples isn't scheduled to begin for at least another six months, and the researchers will then need to coordinate their findings and collaborate on a publishable set of outcomes.
It is just the beginning of a long and difficult journey, but nobody goes into fields like aeronautics or genomics because they're easy. They pursue this work because it is the path to exploring Mars, to developing successful cancer treatments or new drugs for heart disease—they pursue it because it contributes to the future of mankind.
When asked what Scott will miss most about being in space, he didn't say the spectacular view, the thrill of the spacewalks, or the relative peace and quiet of the ISS, casually orbiting the earth every 92 minutes. He said it was the challenge.
Editor's Note: At the time of press, Scott Kelly announced he would be retiring from NASA, effective April 1. He will continue his participation in the Twins Study.

Q: Error:JIT compilation failed for injectable class PlatformLocation {} while doing AngularJS to Angular 13 migration Doing migration for application form angularjs to angular v13 right now i'm trying to dual boot the application.
and getting the following error in browser console:
Uncaught Error: The injectable 'PlatformLocation' needs to be compiled using the JIT compiler, but '@angular/compiler' is not available.

The injectable is part of a library that has been partially compiled.
However, the Angular Linker has not processed the library such that JIT compilation is used as fallback.

Ideally, the library is processed using the Angular Linker to become fully AOT compiled.
Alternatively, the JIT compiler should be loaded by bootstrapping using '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic' or '@angular/platform-server',
or manually provide the compiler with 'import "@angular/compiler";' before bootstrapping.

below are the files i have used to configure this dual boot process.
main.ts
//angularjs imports

import { DoBootstrap, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { UpgradeModule } from '@angular/upgrade/static';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    UpgradeModule
  ]
})
export class AppModule{
  // Override Angular bootstrap so it doesn't do anything
  ngDoBootstrap() {}
}

// Bootstrap using the UpgradeModule
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).then(platformRef => {
  console.log("Bootstrapping in Hybrid mode with Angular & AngularJS");
  const upgrade = platformRef.injector.get(UpgradeModule) as UpgradeModule;
  upgrade.bootstrap(document.body, ['codecraft']);
});

i'm not looking to do import '@angular/compiler'; in main.ts although that seems to work temporarily but it causing similar problems later down the line while migrating components.
Ideally i would like to not disable AOT or IVY.
Have tried

*

*"postinstall": "ngcc --properties es2015 browser module main --first-only --create-ivy-entry-points"

*npm update

*babel-loader in webpack configurations.

A: You are most likely missing importing the angular compiler. In order to solve the issue, add the following line at the top of the main.ts file:
import '@angular/compiler';
Once you have added the above, restart your server and/or build your app again and that should fix it.

CEO Compensation and Real Estate Prices: Are CEOs Paid for Pure Luck?
We study the sensitivity of CEO compensation to luck using real estate prices to differentiate changes in compensation due to pure luck from changes in compensation due to reactions to lucky events. We find that that pay for luck is explained mostly by reactions to lucky events rather than pure luck. Our identification relies on the fact that changes in real estate prices affect market performance irrespective of managerial actions, while accounting performance is only affected if the manager reacts to the shock. In addition, our findings suggest that firms anticipate pay for luck and offer less equity-based compensation to CEOs that are more exposed to the real estate market. Interestingly, our results are not explained by corporate governance. Our results are consistent with the contracting view that CEOs are not rewarded for pure luck.

InvenTeam presents invention at evening reception

The InvenTeam with its teacher advisors.
By Eric Walters
Williamston Post staff writer
On March 27, the Williamston InvenTeam hosted an evening reception at Williamston High School. The event was a combination of updating the community on the team's progress and plans, as well as a celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
Held in the McGoff Auditorium at Williamston High School, the evening began with a meet and greet. Invitees, including Mayor Jim DeForest, Michigan State University Dean of Engineering Satish Udpa and MIT representative Justin Lai, were able to meet the team and learn about the O.R.C.A. system.
Team engineer, and Williamston High senior, Jacob Brandon said that he spoke to a few people who gave him good advice, including Dennis Nash from MIT Entrepreneurship Forum, who gave Brandon a list of people to contact if they decide to market the O.R.C.A. system.
The team described its mission, to successfully invent a viable rip-current alert system that could potentially be used in the Great Lakes, as well as its plans in the coming months. Computer engineer Spencer Ottarson said that the next steps involve waterproofing and testing. The team will first waterproof a separate buoy that it has purchased, and place it in Lake Michigan without internal electronics.
If that test goes well, the team will add the electronics and take the full buoy to the University of Michigan to test the system in a wave tank. Once that test is completed, the next step will be to take the full buoy to Lake Michigan. The team hopes to test a fully built buoy by mid- May. Michael Robinson, another team engineer, said that by EurekaFest in June, the goal is to have a working prototype that could sense a rip current.
After the team presented its invention and plans, MIT's Invention Education Associate Justin Lai spoke about the Lemelson-MIT program and its lucrative awards for invention. He said he hopes the InvenTeam will promote a culture of innovation and invention in the Williamston community. He then spoke of ways to help with the team's progress, including design critiques, opportunities for presentation of the invention, and financial support.
The theme of the night changed to a celebration of the reason that the Williamston InvenTeam exists, the Math and Science Academy at Williamston High School. Senior Katie Bollman spoke of her experience with the MSA, and how it changed the scope of her life.
"Growing up, my interests in a career varied widely, at different times I desired to be the state librarian, an inventor, an author, a scientist, and even a politician," Bollman said. "And while I still maintain an interest in entering politics, I now plan to study economics and mathematics so that I can become a professor, and inspire others to do this in the same way that this program has inspired me."
Steve Kersten and Jim Preston, two Williamston teachers, spoke after Bollman. They thanked MSA funders the Dart Foundation and Omega Farms. The Simmons family, owner of Omega Farms, was presented with a plaque recognizing its contribution. Preston also praised the community support.
"It's great to see such community support for a buoy, and not something that involves a ball," Preston said.
A video presentation from U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow likened the team to other Michigan inventors such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Elijah McCoy. InvenTeam members also received a certificate of congressional recognition from the senator.
Bill Struck, the teacher advisor of the InvenTeam, closed out the evening. He spoke of the American education system.
"Today, the worry is how we compare to students from Japan, India and China. From what we've seen today we can tell all those doubters where to go," said Struck. "Let them come to Williamston to meet our InvenTeam. We can all celebrate how they worked tirelessly through thick and thin . . . It's hard to say where this will lead…perhaps it will even lead to Stockholm, to claim some Nobel gold."

We have all grown up here is the US celebrating Halloween. We dress up in fun costumes and go trick or treat. Other than that Halloween never meant much to me. I think somewhere in the commercialism and the folk lore the meaning got lost.
That's why I love the Day of the Dead celebrated in Tlaquepaque. It's totally about honoring the ones who have passed, offering good food and drink and dressing up like walking dead. Not zombies, but like skeleton faces. I also love the beautiful alters with all the flickering candles. A truly moving and beautiful sight to see. Now add Tlaquepaque, with all its alcoves and courtyards and you have the feel of a spiritual place that makes it easy to remember our loved one's past. You can "feel" the candle light and the ancient ones walking around you. In a way Day of the Dead is a celebration to help us remember the sacredness of life. In Mexico they call it Dia de los Muertos. I look forward to this day every year. It moves me and I am inspired by the celebration.
Come join us November 1st and 2nd, starting at 4:30 in Tlaquepaque. El Rincon will have two booths and a Patio Bar. One booth serving Colada Morada a DOD drink and Pan de la Muertos a DOD sweet bread. Another booth serving our delicious Beef Tacos and Vanilla Churros. Our Patio Bar will be serving our world famous Margarita Magnifica, Mexican Beers and Sangria. Find us along the Calle and around Tlaquepaque.

African, African American, and Diaspora Studies Center Welcomes New Director
by Becca Evans
SUMMARY: We are pleased to announce Dr. Delores B. Phillips as the new Director of the African, African American, and Diaspora (AAAD) Studies Center, joining us later this summer.
We are pleased to announce Dr. Delores B. Phillips as the new Director of the African, African American, and Diaspora (AAAD) Studies Center. Joining us this summer from Old Dominion University, Phillips is a wonderful addition to the AAAD team and to the Department of English, where she will be an associate professor with tenure.
"It was the welcome I received in my first Africana Studies Workshop that cemented my commitment to AAAD," Phillips said. "Since then, I've learned of the wealth of AAAD's activities at and beyond JMU and immediately wanted to contribute to its wide-ranging network of courses, study abroad opportunities, conferences, workshops, sister universities, and JMU faculty, staff, students, and community members."
Phillips' extensive research interests include postcolonial literature and theory with a focus on depictions of food, waste, and everyday life in culinary writing and postcolonial fiction. She has been published by Routledge, Women's Press, Narrative Culture, The Projector: A Journal on Film, Media, and Culture, and many more, addressing everything from cookbooks to food on the big screen and beyond.
Dr. Mollie Godfrey, current director of AAAD, is very excited about the news. "Dr. Phillips has been an active AAAD supporter and collaborator for the past couple of years, and we couldn't be more delighted that she will be bringing her energy, expertise, and leadership here to us at JMU."
"The collective passion that nourishes AAAD is humbling and joyous to witness and I cannot wait to be part of it," Phillips continues. "It is my privilege to serve as a member of AAAD's leadership. I look forward to building upon the Center's current excellence and to discovering exciting opportunities for innovation in the field of Africana Studies at JMU."

Q: How do I reverse an array with the current function without using arr.reverse()? I have been completely stuck on this one. I only know how to use the arr.reverse (). Could someone  please provide me with the correct modification needed to complete the code snipet in the attached picture?
Thank you.

A: There's two main ways you could do it.

*

*A pure algorithm that doesn't destroy the input array: just loop the array backwards and insert items in a new one as you go. Takes O(n) time & space.

*An in-place algorithm that mutates the original array: use two-pointers and swap the items. Takes O(n) time, but O(1) space.

console.log(reverseArray([1, 2, 3]));

function reverseArray(arr) {
  let low = 0, high = arr.length - 1;

  while (low < high) {
    const lowVal = arr[low];
    arr[low++] = arr[high];
    arr[high--] = lowVal;
  }

  return arr; //no need to return as input is mutated, but could be useful anyway
}

A: Maybe something like:
function reverse(arr) {
    let temp = []
    for (var i = arr.length - 1; i > -1; i--) {
        temp.push(arr[i])
    }
    return(temp)
}

On Sunday, January 9th, 2011, the first snow storm of the Winter season arrived in Hot Springs. Snow began falling around noon in the Whittington Valley and continued unabated through late evening. The National Weather Service estimated total snowfall in the area at about four inches. Five days later the snow had melted.
Then one month later to the day, on Wednesday February 9th, 2011 another snow storm hit Arkansas. Snow began in the early morning and came fast and furious through mid-afternoon. The National Weather Service reported that this later storm dumped about six inches of snow in Hot Springs and the Valley. But just four days later, thanks to warmer temperatures, all the snow had disappeared.
Several of these scenes are available as a free wallpaper for your computer. Visit our "Free Wallpaper" page for details.
After each snowstorm, we ventured outside with our camera and took a few scenic pictures of the Valley.
We hope you enjoy our photos of "The Whittington Valley in Winter White."
