Raphael Varane Considering Future at Real Madrid Despite Zinedine Zidane's Return to Los Blancos
Robbie Copeland 18 Mar 2019
Raphael Varane, it seems, is considering heading for the exit door at Real Madrid in the summer, as the Galacticos brace for a turbulent period of transition in the months to come.
Zinedine Zidane's return to the managerial hotseat following the sacking of Santiago Solari restored some much-needed positivity after a difficult season, but the club remains in a state of self-inflicted crisis after crashing out of the Champions League against Ajax at the Bernabeu earlier this month.
As a result, a number of players are expected to be on their way out, but few would have expected World Cup winner Raphael Varane to be among them.
Reports in France, however, say that may just be the case, with L'Equipe citing a desire to 'challenge himself' as the reason behind some second thoughts over his future in Madrid
Raphaël Varane is currently considering his future at Real Madrid & has a desire "to challenge himself again," according to L'Équipe. More follows.

It comes as a particular surprise given how close the 25-year-old reportedly is to his compatriot Zidane, but perhaps it is testament to just how unsettled he is that he could be seeking an exit despite Zizou's renewed presence at Real.
Assuming the rumblings are true, one club likely to be alerted is Manchester United, who are heavily rumoured to be looking for a quality addition to their defence in the summer.
They were linked with Varane as recently as last month, and should he become available, it would be difficult to see a better option on the market given how impressive he has been in recent seasons.
He has made 268 appearances for the La Liga side, and has four Champions League medals to his name, having featured in the famous three successive victories between 2016-18.


The overall championship in the 2018 MATCH Series—and more than $100,000 in bonus money—will be decided Sept. 22 at Laurel Park.
The overall champion hinges on finish position and points. Sycamore Racing V's Jessica Krupnick has 34 points in the Filly and Mare Sprint—Dirt Division, which concluded Sept.15 at Parx Racing, and remains the target for the MATCH championship, which provides $50,000 to the owner and $25,000 to the trainer.
Two of the three still in contention — Laki, who won the Polynesian Stakes via disqualification, and Lewisfield, who has been in the money in all three of his MATCH Series starts — will face off in the Grade 3 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash. The former has 23 points to date and would finish with 35 points if he were to win the De Francis, giving him the overall title. The latter, with 19 points to date, will get five bonus points for making his fourth Series start and would finish with 34 points with a victory.
And then there's the other horse.
Oak Bluffs has quietly amassed 22 points — third-most of any horse — and would reach 34 points with a win in the Laurel Dash. He is 10-1 on the morning line.
Pimlico Race Course-based trainer Mary Eppler already took the 3-Year-Olds and Up Long—Dirt Division with Adam Staple and Jalin Stable's 8-year-old gelding Page McKenney, who was retired several days before the fourth leg of the division. And she found out Sept. 19, by virtue of nominated horses that didn't enter the Laurel Dash, that she had won the division with another 8-year-old gelding, Oak Bluffs.
Oak Bluffs, bred in New Jersey by Patricia Generazio, has raced in the first four legs of the 3-Year-Olds and Up Sprint—Turf Division, which means he would get two bonus points on top of points for finish position in the six-furlong Laurel Dash. He already has earned a $5,000 bonus for Generazio—owner of the top turf sprinter Pure Sensation—from the Thoroughbred Breeders Association of New Jersey for being the top New Jersey-bred colt or gelding by points in the MATCH Series.
The second and third horses in the division standings — Imprimis (20 points) and Pool Winner (19 points) — were nominated to the Laurel Dash but not entered. Pool Winner, owned by Colts Neck Stable and trained by Alan Goldberg, has raced three times in the MATCH division, so he qualifies for bonus money. He is currently second in the standings but Pewter Stable's Dubini, trained by Kathleen Demasi, has 12 points and will earn 5 bonus points for his fourth division start in the Laurel Dash plus any points based on finish position.


The other Monk behind this website, namely Dr Chris Monk, has started, with my permission, a page about the great hidden treasure, Textus Roffensis.
Well, I can't hold that against him.
He begins with a piece called 'Origins and Beginnings'. It's not bad... for a twenty-first century heathen.


My daughter and I were invited to witness the opening of the Tutuban Virtual Zoo.
Though miles away from where we reside plus the unpredictable weather, I decided to give in to my daughter's prodding to go on with our trip to Tutuban Center. And lo, we were not disappointed.
No less than the Manila City Mayor, Alfredo Lim, graced the opening of the Tutuban Virtual Zoo at the 4th level of Tutuban Center Mall 2 along C.M. Recto Avenue, Manila.
The Tutuban Virtual Zoo was conceptualized and developed to cater to naturally curious young minds and provide answers to questions they may have about the animal kingdom. Simply put, it is a collage of larger-than-life 3D photos of elephants, tigers, sharks, turtles, horses and other familiar animals mounted on walls.
Kids and parents will have a thrill taking pictures of various interesting and popular animals mounted on Tutuban Cinema lobby walls.
With these exciting animals in various poses, the cinema lobby was beautifully transformed to a virtual theme park! These free photo opportunity sessions with the 3D photos of animals will surely draw in more crowds at Tutuban Center.
Loyal mall patrons and movie buffs will also have more reason to shop at Tutuban Center and enjoy their Tutuban Virtual Zoo experience with the family.
The Tutuban Virtual Zoo is open from 10:00AM up to 8:00PM daily.

Mark Steyn reviews Debunking 9/11 Myths
Mark Steyn reviews Debunking 9/11 Myths: "Debunking 9/11 Myths does a grand job of explaining such popular conspiracy-website mainstays as how a 125-foot-wide plane leaves a 16-foot hole in the Pentagon. Answer: it didn't. The 16-foot hole in the Pentagon's Ring C was made by the plane's landing gear. But the problem isn't scientific, it's psychological: if you're prepared to believe that government agents went to the trouble of researching, say, gay rugby player Mark Bingham's family background and vocal characteristics so they could fake cellphone calls back to his mom, then clearly you're not going to be deterred by mere facts. As James B. Meigs, the editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics, remarks toward the end of this book, the overwhelming nature of the evidence is, to the conspiratorially inclined, only further evidence of a cover-up: 'One forum posting that has multiplied across the Internet includes a long list of the physical evidence linking the 19 hijackers to the crime: the rental car left behind at Boston's Logan airport, Mohammed Atta's suitcase, passports recovered at the crash sites, and so on. 'HOW CONVENIENT!' the author notes after each citation. In the heads-I-win-tails-you-lose logic of conspiracism, there is no piece of information that cannot be incorporated into one's pet theory.'"

Destinazioni - Comune
Where Rezzato (Brescia)
Rezzato is a comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy. It is bounded by the comunes of Brescia, Botticino, Castenedolo, Mazzano and Nuvolera. History Ancient era The most important place of Prehistory in Rezzato was Ca' dei Grii, a cave on the south side of Regogna Mountain. During some researches done from 1954 to 1968, were discovered some objects of the Neolithic period, the oldest of the area. Probably the cave was a refuge for some prehistoric men or for some families during the Second World War. It was destroyed in 1969 by an adjacent marble's pit. Modern era The origin of this town name is thought to be the medieval "Regadium", which meant "royal court", a term used to designate the area surrounding the city of Brescia. Benedictine monks contributed to the founding of Rezzato by draining the land and digging irrigation canals on the Valverde plain. In the 14th century, battles between Guelph and Ghibelline city-states led to domination over Milan and the nearby territory by the powerful Visconti family, backed by the emperor Henry VII. While the western part of Lombardy was taken over by the Sforza family in the 15th century, Brescia became part of Venetian Republic in 1429. Under Venice, local commerce and crafts prospered, and Rezzato became known for its marble. Stone cutting was the predominant business in Rezzato from the 15th to the early 20th centuries. The municipal territory took on its current dimensions in 1928, with the addition of Virle Treponti. Places PInAC, or Aldo Cibaldi International Gallery of Children's Art, opened officially more than thirty years ago. Today it holds 4500 works of art in the new facility in via Disciplina. The building is both a gallery and an open educational center, with training course and experimental didactic activities. Drawings by children are still being collected, studied and cataloged today. The gallery works with schools that are interested in promoting children's art and the child's view of the world. The gallery's collections are characterized by a multi-ethnic quality. Workshops for adults are organized with nationally and internationally known artists. Villa Avogadro-Fenaroli: this spectacular setting lies between the villages of Ponte and Canale was home to the noble Avogadros and Fenarolis from Brescia for four centuries. Its north wing dates to the 16th century as well as the balcony overlooking today's Scalabrini Street. A 16th-century's lodge lies under cedars of Lebanon near the gardens' boundaries. Gothic greenhouses were built in 1840, while gardens were rearranged in 1863. The villa is since 2006 a Palace Hotel. Bacchus' Temple: thieves deprived the temple closing scenic stairs behind Villa Fenaroliof its 18th century' pillars in 2001, leaving its dome and trabeation on the ground. The Municipality of Rezzato had it quickly repaired, recovering a symbol of the town's identity and history. Vantini's school: a reason for the success of brescian neoclassicism is certainly the use of the white Botticino's stone. However, very highly skilled carpenters and chisellers were necessary to a style leaning on perfection. This is how Rodolfo Vantini had the idea to set up a school in Rezzato to train these workers. The school opened in 1839 in the Town Hall. Now the school is in the south of the town in a modern building. Vantini was also one of the best architects in Brescia. He was born in 1792. Transport The A4 motorway (Turin - Milan - Venice - Trieste) passes south of the town. Route SS 11, the Padana Superiore road, and Route SS 45bis, the Gardesana Occidentale road, lead directly to Rezzato. The nearest train station to Rezzato is at Brescia, on the Milan-Venice railway line. The nearest airport is at Montichiari (8 km). Population Rezzato had a population of 13,485 inhabitants as of March 2012. Since the end of World War II, like others places in Lombardy, Rezzato has been host to two waves of mass migration: the first, workers from within Italy; the second, immigrants from outside the peninsula. These two migrations have corresponded with two different economic phases. The first migration coincided with the economic miracle of the 1950s and 1960s, a period of extraordinary growth based on classic industry and public works. The second immigration has taken place against the background of a vastly different economy, centered around services, small industry and post-industrial scenarios. The first migarion concerned Italians, from the countryside, the mountains and the cities and towns of the South, the East or the other provinces of Lombardy. Ethnic groups The main ethnic group in Rezzato is the Italian one, but there are also many other groups from Europe, Asia and Africa. Municipal Administration From 1945 to 1995 the municipal administration of Rezzato was composed of members of the historical Christian Democracy, with some members of the Italian Socialist Party (1970–1980 and 1985–1995) and the Italian Communist Party (1980–1985). Since 1995 (under the new electoral law, 1993) the mayor of Rezzato is directly elected by the population and the election occurs without ballot because the commune hasn't a population higher than 15.000 inhabitants. The City Council of Rezzato has 16 members (last election, May 2014). The mayor of Rezzato is Davide Giacomini (PD) since 26 May 2014. Sister cities Rezzato is twinned with: Bogoroditsk, Tula Oblast, Russia Gallery Sources

The topic of variable speed circulation in the solar thermal controls is remaining a mystery for many installers and designers of solar thermal systems. Hey no blame here - that is a pretty new technology – solar heating. Even variable speed circulation control in hydronic heating is remaining unexplored for many professionals.
Let's tackle that gap and get up to speed with the rest of the solar world.
You see – in the hydronic heating we deal with stable heat source output and changing load demands, or in other words we control the amount of BTUs to match the heat loss of the building. The purpose of a variable speed circulator in solar thermal circuit is to automatically adjust its speed based on continuously changing heating source output €" solar collector. In both cases for understanding how it works we can use the universal hydronic formula, which states that energy (BTUH) is equal to amount flow (GPM) multiplied by temperature difference (Delta T) multiplied by 500.
GPM (gallons per minute) - the flow rate of the heat carrying media needed to move the required amount of energy (BTUs).
Delta T - The designed temperature drop across the load (in Hydronics) or rise across solar collector array and storage tank.
500 The shortcut coefficient calculated by multiplying the weight of 1 gallon of water (8.33 pounds) by 60 minutes in an hour, again multiplied by specific heat of fluid, in case of water is 1€.
If fluid is 40% solution of propylene glycol that number is 467. For simplicity of further calculations we will stay with water as heat transfer media.
Let u€™s take for example 1,000 ft2 "Energy Star Rated€ house with 25 BTU/ft2 of heat demand at 0°F design temperature. It will have 25,000 BTUH heating load designed to 20-degree Delta "T. Single circulator is supplying homerun system with panel radiators.
Using the Universal Hydronic Formula, GPM= 25,000· [20 x 500], equals to 2.5 gallons per minute.
By milder temperatures (usually more than 90% of the heating season) the DeltaT will be higher and will change proportionally to the buildings heat loss. For arguments sake, let u€™s say that at 25°F outdoor temperature the heat loss decreases in 40%. Having our circulator sized for 2.5 GPM, what will happen to Delta"T required?
2.5= 15,000· (DeltaTx500); Delta"T= [15,000·2.5] ·500 = 12 degrees!
In our case it means that system return temperature will rise and as we all know from our experience - the boiler will soon short-cycling and system efficiency will reduce significantly.
To keep Delta "T at desirable 20 degrees we need to decrease system flow to 1.5 GPM. That's what a variable speed circulator with integrated DeltaT control is doing - it€ is modulating flow by keeping DeltaT steady.
Let us start today by talking about the first step: Initial object data input - or Collecting Basic Information.
You see - because of varying energy supply from the sun, we need to know precisely the volume of hot water consumption, the consumption profile and desired water temperature. By having fewer variables in equation the result could be more accurate. To have that information is critical because all further dimensioning tasks are based on it.
The values for DHW consumption data given in different literature have been found too high in practice; and result of their use is over-sizing of the solar system with all other consequences. Often these references are old, and have been calculated to cover highest possible demand factor.
Imagine - you are just breaking-even finishing the job and the customer is demanding to fix the overheating issues on warranty... - nice prospect, isn't it?
Another very important sizing criterion is the consumption profile.
Similar buildings/institutions can have absolutely different load profiles. For example: 100 room student dorm of the Faculty of Music and 100 room dorm of the department of Physical Education. In the second one the students are taking showers after the gym, outside the dorm.
Once again - the consumption volume and profile are so crucial in getting your design done right that you don't need to even think of "guesstimating" it, but measure it!
For each and every one of your customers, Solar is a long term investment.
For that reason they are looking for an installer that they can rely on.
Solar Thermal or Solar PV is a major investment for each of your customers, and it has to be customized for every application and budget.
Whether you sell small pre-packaged systems or custom-made complex all-in-one solutions, you need to discuss the benefits of your product in detail with the customer.
Make sure to communicate to your customer your superior technical and overall knowledge of the rebate process, building codes, homeowner's association restrictions and financing options. Solar is a long term investment and your customers are expecting a quality system that produces for at least 25 years; that's why they want to establish a solid relationship with you –the installer.
But unless you are an order taker, it is the way that you handle a prospective client that determines if you get the order.
Is Solar Heating your lost sale?
Interesting statistic: – 78 % of people involved in selling and installing solar heating systems are not from the heating or plumbing trades. Where are they coming from? Many of them are electricians, auto mechanics, millwrights, handymen, educated do-it-yourselfers, or even home owners without any technical background at all.
It is very possible these days to buy everything including collectors, storage tanks, controls, condensing boilers and furnaces without ever setting foot in a plumbing/heating retail store or wholesale outlet. And why bother if traditional heating and plumbing suppliers are not even considering stocking any "high risk" or slow moving merchandise?
The Internet has replaced the salesmen and showrooms.
All information is retrievable in a nanosecond. The Internet has made trade buyers and consumers smarter than ever, even smarter than some salespeople in wholesale outlets.
Is the Solar Thermal industry facing the same fortune as hydronic heating? It took almost 25 years and hundred of thousands of dollars in investment for Viessmann North America to educate the industry about condensing boilers and low-loss headers. If it wasn't for that missionary work of the Viessmann Academy, hydronic heating would still be roaming around the "black forest" of primary-secondary piping and copper fin boilers.

Scones originate from the Scottish 'bannock', which is derived from the Gaelic for cake and made using a thin, round, flat combination of oats and wheat flour.
Scones are connected traditionally with England, Scotland, and Ireland, but nobody knows which country invented it. However, the first known mention of a scone that was printed is from the translation of The Aenaid (1513) written by a Scottish poet named Gavin Douglas.
A Scottish scone is closer to an American biscuit (not what the UK calls a biscuit, which is really what we Americans call a cookie or a cracker). … A proper Scottish scone should not be very sweet or rich as it is meant to be a vehicle for jam, clotted cream, lemon curd or even just plain sweet butter.
Scones are traditionally connected with Scotland, Ireland and England, but exactly who deserves the honor of invention, no one knows for sure. Scones may well have originated in Scotland. The first known print reference, in 1513, is from a Scottish poet.
IMPORTANT: Will rents go down in London?
Scone is one of a number of words that came into Scots from Dutch. It is a shortened form of the Middle Dutch word 'schoonbrot'. Scots Word of the Week is written by Chris Robinson of Scottish Language Dictionaries.
The difference between cream tea in Devonshire and Cornwall comes down to how its served. Both versions serve the same items: tea, scones, jam, and clotted cream. In Devon, the scones are split in two and topped with cream followed by jam. In Cornwall, the split scones are topped with jam and then cream.
Scones are a British classic, and this is the traditional version which are soft, buttery and delicious.
Scone (UK) / Biscuit (US)
These are the crumbly cakes that British people call scones, which you eat with butter, jam, sometimes clotted cream and always a cup of tea.
A Biscuit (U.S.) Is a Scone (U.K.)
Both baked goodies use flour, fat, liquid and a leavening agent. The main differences are that scones tend to have less butter (because you'll add butter to it when you eating it — or else, clotted cream or jam) while American biscuits tend to have more butter and light layers.
American scones are often dense wedges or triangles, while British scones are taller and usually round. British scones are reasonably dense, but not as dense as American scones (assuming they're fresh). … American scones use much more butter than British scones, and they usually have quite a bit more sugar.
IMPORTANT: What are the main industries in New England?
Following etiquette, the correct pronunciation of scone is 'skon', to rhyme with 'gone', rather than 'skone' to rhyme with 'bone'. The 'posh' pronunciation of scone really isn't so posh after all.
How do you pronounce the word scone? If you live in Scotland you almost certainly pronounce it in a way that rhymes with "gone", whereas if you live in Ireland you're far more likely to pronounce it so it rhymes with "cone." And in England and Wales, well let's just say it's complicated.
Scone. skōn, n. (Scot.) a soft cake fired on a griddle. [Perh.
In the west of Scotland we normally just say 'poor wee soul' – which is universal really so nothing very interesting about that and 'poor wee scone' is just a more striking way of expressing the same sentiment. … Sometimes scone is used as a term of endearment in the way that 'hen' is used.
skɒn) Australian a slang word for head (sense 1) 3. See off one's scone.

Censorship of Internet content is increasing, as more regimes seek to restrict the flow of information to and between their citizens. Pluggable Transports can help keep people connected, by hiding (obfuscating) network traffic and routing it between devices in ways that make it more difficult to block.
You can see from our overview that there are several methods censors can use to obstruct the Internet, and how there are different ways people can get past these restrictions. But how do we know what's really happening around the world, and how do we decide where our attention is needed the most?
Below is a collection of resources that may help you find out some of this information. These are projects that do ongoing monitoring of network outages, and report them to the community. If you know of a resource we should be including here, let us know via email
OONI - The Open Observatory of Network Interference is part of the Tor Project, aiming to collect information related to network interference around the world. They have been operational for over 5 years, and have a collection of apps run by volunteers to test network conditions where they are.
OONI's raw data is often combined with research from leading academics and practitioners to build up a picture of censorship at specific times, such as this example from August 2018 that provides some detail about South Sudan's blocking of independent news organizations.
Netblocks - Netblocks operate at the intersection of cybersecurity, Internet governance, and digital rights. The organization was originally formed as Turkeyblocks when Turkey blocked access to social media in the wake of a bombing attack in Ankara. They have since moved on to test conditions in many other countries, collecting data via a network of volunteers in countries such as Iraq, Nicaragua and Pakistan. In August 2018, they wrote about the restriction of mobile Internet speeds in Bangladesh, and at the time of writing are due to launch COST, their collaboration with the Internet Society to measure the cost of shutting down the Internet, at the 2018 Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa.
Tor Metrics - Tor already has support for Pluggable Transports, deployed through obfuscated bridges. Their metrics page can give a good indication of where network blocking takes place. On the metrics page, you can see where direct connections are working, and also where different types of bridge connections are taking place. This data is supplemented by a manual collection of known events that might be related to the graphs. Also worth looking at is Torsten Grote's visualization of data collected by OONI, and showing where Tor may be being blocked.
Google Transparency Report - Originally launched as far back as 2010 during Google's conference Internet at Liberty, the Transparency Report documents a number of ways in which Google's services are restricted internationally. Sometimes that can be via government demands for content takedown, but other times it can be due to interference at the network level. The Global Disruptions map shows a near-live, aggregated view of what they are seeing on their network, along with links to verified reports that the data illustrates.
RIPE NCC - Operating at the routing level of the Internet, RIPE measures the performance of the Internet's backbone. Using data from RIPE Atlas devices used by thousands of organizations around the world, RIPE able to provide a snapshot of Internet performance from a number of different perspectives.
Freedom on the Net - If you're looking at how Internet Freedom has been impacted over the past six years, you can read through the archive of reports produced by Freedom House since 2012. Using networks of trusted reporters, Freedom House have amassed a wealth of information and detailed reports, showing a year-on-year decline of overall freedom on the net. For up-to-date reports since the last edition ((2017)[https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-net/freedom-net-2017]), you can also follow them on Twitter.

The purposes of Title I, Part D are to: (1) improve educational services for children and youth in local and State institutions for neglected or delinquent children and youth so that they have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State academic content and State student achievement standards that all children in the State are expected to meet; (2) provide these children with services to enable them to transition successfully from institutionalization to further schooling or employment; and (3) prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school as well as to provide dropouts and children and youth returning from correctional facilities or institutions for neglected or delinquent children and youth, with a support system to ensure their continued education.
The Subpart 1 program provides funding to State agencies for the purposes of improving educational services to students up to the age of 21 who are incarcerated in adult or juvenile facilities. The OPI provides funding to the Montana Department of Corrections (DOC) for programs located in the Montana State Prison, Pine Hills Correctional Facility and Riverside Correctional Facility. Funding for this program is determined by a federal formula based on the number of eligible students residing at the facility during the count period in October. Subgrant funds are awarded to the DOC which determines the amounts allotted to each of the three programs.
The Subpart 2 program provides funding to LEAs for the purposes of improving the educational services to students up to age 18 who are living in residential facilities for children who are in the foster care system or the juvenile justice system, are returning from placement in state or local correctional facilities, or who may meet other federal guidelines for being "at-risk" of failing to successfully complete their education. Funding for this program is determined by a federal formula based on the number of eligible students residing at facilities licensed by the Montana Department of Health and Human Services during the count period in October. The OPI then determines which districts are eligible based on the October student count and disburses funds through a subgrant process.

Red Team win Sports Day!!
Christopher Conlan
On Friday, the 22nd of June we had our annual Sports Day. I was on the red team, captained by Caoimhe and Dylan and managed by Ms. McWalter. In the morning we did stations. The first one was the memory game where you went into a room and you had to remember 30 items. Then we did the hula hoop run. One person would take a hula hoop, run up, add it to the pile and then run back and tag their partner. The loop run was next, where we had to run as many laps as possible with the baton. Practicing the baton change was important. The other stations were skipping, World Cup trivia quiz and dribbling. Games came next. We had rounders, everyone had a turn to bat. It was important to pick the order of batters wisely to get the infants home. Soccer and Gaelic were next. The infants would play one half and then the Senior School would play the other half. The scores were then combined. Finally, class races and school relay took place. The relay was very important for points at the end and our red team won the relay as well as winning points in some of the class races. In the end when the scores were added up it was very close between White and Red but the Reds won out! It was a great day!!!
A Trip to Tayto Park
Johnny Cahalan
First, Second, Fifth and Sixth classes we kindly invited to Tayto Park on the 14th of June. Parents dropped their children directly to the park at 9am. The day started with some filming for the website and then we were split into two groups. One of the Tayto Park staff, Orla, took us around the zoo. After the zoo we went on the rides, such as the Cú Chulainn, the Viking Voyage, the Rotator and the Air Race. Then another staff member, Cian, very kindly got us some ice-cream. At the end of the day we were allowed to go on one more ride so most of us chose the Cú Chulainn again! Our parents collected us at 2.40pm. Everyone thought it was a brilliant day!!!
Ben Ronan & Eoin McDermott
On Sunday, May 27th St. Andrew's National School, Curragha and St. , Patrick's National School, Ardcath took part in the annual Family Fun Day in Cushenstown Athletic Club. There were several events to earn tokens for your school, including sprints, high jump, hang tough, musical chairs, boot throw, penalty shoot out, parents' tug of war, parents' novelty races, cupcake competition and ring toss. At the end the water relay took place. Both schools were positioned on either side of the field. Each had four buckets of water with which to attempt to fill the large bucket in the centre. Many of the students didn't bother attempting to get the water in the bucket but made a huge effort to throw water at their friends instead!! There was a raffle at the end with prizes such as La Bucca vouchers, Camp Curragha vouchers, hampers and many more. All in all it was a great day. Both school principals got dunked at the end of the day. We enjoyed it very much and hope the pupils who take part next year enjoy it as much as we did!
Caoimhe Cassidy
On the 12th of June third to sixth classes went to the Cumann na mBunscol Championships at Claremont Stadium. We left school at 8.45am for the short trip. The journey wasn't long. When we arrived we dropped our bags in the hall and made our way to the track. The first event of the day was the long jump which included Ella, Zara, David and James from our school. Then the sprints took place with Aisling, Grace, Niamh, Alannah, Conor, Mylo and Nick competing. Aisling, Grace and Niamh all won sprint gold!! After a short break Jane, Charles, PJ and Isabelle competed in the ball throw and again we were fortunate to take home bronze with Jane coming in third place. Then it was time for the long distance with Jamie, Kirsty, Christopher, Lara, Larissa, Dylan, Johnny and I competing. Christopher won gold in his 600m! Everyone was very proud. There was a chip van and we also had sweets and lots of water! For the relay Carly, Aisling, Rachel and Shauna ran for the girls. Thomas, Kevin, Ben and Eoin came 4th in the final! That was the last event of the day - we all had a great day and were very tired after it all!
Ella McDermott
Our confirmation took place on the 26th of April 2018 in St. Andrew's Church, Curragha. it was a beautiful ceremony. There several soloists including Caoimhe, Shauna, Aisling, Zara and Phoebe. There were different outfits, all very unique. After the mass we all went into the school hall where there were minerals and sandwiches. We were presented with a certificate by Bishop Michael Smith. It was a great day!
On the following Monday, to further celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation we went to Rathbeggan Lakes. We completed many activities including the zip line, canoeing, rock climbing. On behalf of Fifth and Sixth classes we would like to thank Aoife Egan of Four Star Pizza who delivered pizza to us after all of our activities. It was a great day overall!!!
Eoin McDermott
On the 19th of May Second Class made their First Holy Communion. It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone was so excited. The mass started at 11am sharp. Ciara, Maggi, Anna Rose, James, Rachel, Leo, Daisy, Tara and Juliette read the prayers before Communion, prayers after Communion and Prayers of the Faithful. The singers were Jamie, Gina, Anna Rose and Daisy. Second Class decided to donate some money to Temple Street Children's Hospital. It was a great day overall for Second Class!
Senior School Tour
Shauna Prendiville
On Tuesday, June 25th third, fourth, fifth and sixth classes went on their school tour to Derrymore Springs. The bus left at 8.15am and arrived at 9.30am. It began with a nature walk through Derrymore Springs Forest and then we played 'Tyre Ball'. We were split into four groups and each group had to aim the ball into the centre of the tyre. It wasn't as easy as it sounds! Then we were provided with wetsuits and third, fourth, fifth and sixth were split into 2 groups. One group went to the inflatable water park while the others went kayaking. After doing the two activities we had lunch we were back on the bus for 2 o'clock. We arrived back at school for 3.15pm. Everyone thought it was a great day!!
Junior School Tour
Alannah McKane
On Wednesday, June 20th the Junior School went on their school tour. The bus left school at 9.30am to go to Dublin Zoo. 26 children went from 1st and 2nd and 29 from Infants. The first animals they went to see were the lions. They learned a lot about the lions. Some of the things they learned were that lions are very sleepy animals. They can sleep up to 18 hours per day. Then they went to see the snow leopards and then the elephants. The elephants were very popular - in fact the elephant was the favourite animal amongst first and second class. For lunch everyone went to the play forest. Later on after lunch they went to Zoorassic Park which was where the lizards, geckos and snakes are kept. The bus returned home at 2.45pm. Everyone really enjoyed the tour!

Profile: Tim Looney, CEO of Northeast Biomedical
J Brian O'Rourke
Tim Looney, President of Northeast Biomedical
TYNGSBORO, Mass: The time and effort required to get a new medical device through the FDA's application process has driven many companies out of the industry, but not Northeast Biomedical.
"We focus on early-end research and development," says founder and CEO Tim Looney. "We invent new ideas and new products for the industry!.
It's an industry he knows well after having spent many years as an engineer and executive in it, working for (among others) Irish company Creganna, setting up and closing a worldwide development center in Marlboro, Mass. in the late 2000s in just twelve months.
Biomedical boutique
Looney says that his knowledge of the biomedical marketplace made starting his own boutique firm a natural fit. Other industries, like consumer electronics, "are very tough to get into."
"We're trying to do good, and we are not necessarily involved with the final distribution or testing regimens", he says.
When Looney founded the company in 2011 at the tail end of the Great Recession, a lot of the big medical device companies had reorganized and moved manufacturing abroad. Many smaller firms had left the biomedical space entirely. Looney had been an executive at several companies including Cornova, a startup in Burlington, Mass., and knew firsthand how tough the market was.
Laboratory Weight Drop System, or "brain basher"
Cornova had developed a coronary stent that replaced a cobalt-chromium coating with platinum to improve biocompatibility. Cornova achieved CE registration, a manufacturing and testing approval allowing the device to be sold in Europe, for a related product but stopped development. "The cost [for clinical studies and US approval] is high, and investors didn't want to pay," Looney says.
He says working as a contract designer means "we still get to do the fun research and figure out the harder problems," but leave the marketing to the big company that hired them. "There are significant advances in medical devices, where in many other industries it's just a 'me too' product," he says.
Laboratory Weight Drop System
One of Northeast Biomedical's most engaging projects was an in-house device with a deliberately anodyne name, the "Laboratory Weight Drop System." It's a device used by Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) researchers to measure the results of controlled, repeatable cranial impacts on lab animals. In house, they call it the "brain basher." They have sold several different versions of it to hospitals around the world, including in their backyard in Boston.
"We [recently] did a model for a company that makes stereotactic surgical frames," Looney says, giving them a total of four different models. It should start showing up in peer-reviewed research papers soon. "It's one of those passive things that we don't spend a lot of time marketing, but at the beginning of every semester, we start getting requests for quotes."
Looney says that having a series of small instruments like the weight drop system that Northeast could sell directly would be "ideal."
"That would cover the basic costs of overhead," he says. "That would be fantastic," and would give them the freedom to dream about projects that go "above and beyond."

Associate of man shot dead on M62 is jailed for 18 years over firearms conspiracy
Amin Moshin has been jailed for 18 years for his role in a firearms conspiracy.
Georgina Morris
Published: 17:09 Wednesday 12 December 2018
An associate of a man shot dead by an armed officer during a police stop on the M62 has been jailed for 18 years over his part in a firearms conspiracy.
Moshin Amin had been found guilty of conspiring to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life with Yassar Yaqub.
Mr Yaub was the front seat passenger in one of two cars travelling in convoy when four unmarked police vehicles surrounded them at junction 24 of the motorway at Ainley Top, Huddersfield.
David Butlin has been jailed for 18 months.
He was shot at 6.05pm on January 2 last year after an undercover police operation in which officers from West Yorkshire had been deployed to observe individuals including Mr Yakub.
Amin, 32, of Broomer Street, Dewsbury, was arrested at the scene along with two others.
Following a two-week trial, he was convicted of conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to endanger life.
The court heard how police recovered a loaded handgun from the footwell and a silencer and further ammunition from the glovebox of the vehicle being driven by him.
David Butlin, 39, of Upper Sunny Bank Mews, in Meltham, was found guilty of possessing a dagger, which police found hidden down his shorts.
A third man, Rexhino Arapaj, was acquitted by the jury at Leeds Crown Court.
Today, a judge sentenced Amin to 18 years in prison and Butlin to 18 months in prison.
Detective Chief Superintendent Nick Wallen, from West Yorkshire Police`s Major Enquiry Team, said: "We are extremely pleased with the findings of guilt and with the sentences which have been handed down today to these dangerous individuals who were involved in serious and organised crime.
"There is currently an ongoing investigation being undertaken by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and also a forthcoming inquest into the death of Mr Yaqub and therefore we will not be able to provide any further comment at this time."
The sentences handed down were also welcomed by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Gerry Wareham, Chief Crown Prosecutor for Yorkshire and Humberside, said: "The jury found that Moshin Amin was a party to an agreement with Yasser Yaqub to possess the gun, silencer and ammunition for the purpose of endangering the lives of others. We were able to provide evidence to show that the background to this was an ongoing drug feud.
"Moshin Amin also had with him mobile telephones equipped with 'stealth SIMS' so as to hide the identities of those using them and the calls made. David Butlin also accepted he had used a phone equipped with a stealth SIM.
Anti-social behaviour concerns on Knottingley street
"Today Moshin Amin will begin serving a lengthy prison sentence as a result of his involvement in organised criminality."

Secretary De Lima orders "Changing of the guards" in the BuCor
As announced yesterday and as an off-shoot of recent developments and incidents in the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), Secretary of Justice Leila M . De Lima ordered major changes i n personnel assignments in the BuCor and its penal colonies/farms, particularly in the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), " in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations of the Bucor, especially in combating illegal activities" in said facilities.
Aside from relieving certain personnel from their posts in key and sensitive areas, including the Chief Superintendent of the N B P and the Superintendents of the Maximum, Medium and Minimum Security Compounds, and re-assigning others to immediately assume such vacated posts, and other posts such as the Commanders of the Guards in all three (3) NBP compounds, Secretary De Lima also designated National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Deputy Director RAFAEL Z. RAGOS as the new Ofncer-in-Charge (OIC) of the BuCor, to take over from Parole and Probation Administrator MANUEL G. CO, who has been serving as OIC for the BuCor since August 22, 2012.
According to Secretary De Lima, "I am very grateful and appreciative of all the hard work and sacrifices of Administrator Manny Co while he served as OIC of the BuCor. It is not an easy job to head one agency, and it is that much more daunting to head two agencies simultaneously, especially when one of them comes with tremendous challenges like the magnitude of those that accompany the post of OICBuCor Director. I feel that it is not fair to further burden h im with the demands of running and overseeing the operations of the BuCor and several penal farms and colonies. I have, thus, designated NBI Deputy Director Ragos, whom I have previously detailed partially in the BuCor, to take over as OIC, and whom I see as possessing the fire, toughness and single-mindedness of character to immediately install drastic but effective changes to address the major problems i n the BuCor, such as the smuggling and trade in illegal drugs and other contrabands."
Department Order Nos. 981 and 982, s. 2012, which designates the new OIC and directs the re-assignment of key personnel, respectively, takes effect immediately.
Enclosures: Department Order Nos. 981 and 982.

Q: Unix Timestamp in seconds to C# DateTime is not UTC I am aware that Unix Timestamp are UTC in nature (misleading, this is not true, new Date() will always be on the browser/server timezone, and .getTime() reflects that).
How come when converting to a C# DateTime is is not UTC.
I've converted the date August, 9 2092 to timespamp in seconds (3869074800),
new Date('August, 9 2092').getTime()/1000

or https://codepen.io/pnmcosta/pen/rpvjVp
But when converting to a C# date, it's not UTC (8/8/2092 11:00:00 PM)? Even though the EPOCH has been created as UTC:
using System;

public class Program
{
    public readonly static DateTime EPOCH_UNIX = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    private readonly static double MaxUnixSeconds = (DateTime.MaxValue.ToUniversalTime() - EPOCH_UNIX).TotalSeconds;
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(FromUnixTimeStamp(3869074800));
    }

    public static DateTime FromUnixTimeStamp(long value)
    {
        return value > MaxUnixSeconds ? EPOCH_UNIX.AddMilliseconds(value) : EPOCH_UNIX.AddSeconds(value);
    }
}

or https://dotnetfiddle.net/ERySea
How best to handle this scenario, bearing in mind that time is not of importance, but the day should be correct?
EDIT 2
Think I may have hacked the date to figure out the offset (updated https://dotnetfiddle.net/ERySea) to:
using System;

public class Program
{
    public readonly static DateTime EPOCH_UNIX = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    private readonly static long MaxUnixSeconds = (long)(DateTime.MaxValue.ToUniversalTime() - EPOCH_UNIX).TotalSeconds;

    public static void Main()
    {
        // date with DST (Daylight savings time), e.g. 08/09/2092 (DD/MM/yyyy)
        // is stored as, e.g. 3869074800 seconds, from EPOCH_UNIX
        // instead of 3869078400 (UTC, without offsets) as it should be!
        DateTime dt = FromUnixTimeStamp(3869074800);
        Console.WriteLine("Date: {0:dd MMM yyyy HH:mm}", dt);

        // fix DST offset
        if (dt.Hour != 0)
        {
            int offset = 24 - dt.Hour;
            dt = dt.AddHours(offset);
            Console.WriteLine("Offset: {0}", offset);
        }

        // fix century (if date of birth)
        if (dt.Year >= DateTime.UtcNow.Year)
            dt = dt.AddYears(-100);

        Console.WriteLine("Fixed Date: {0:dd MMM yyyy HH:mm}", dt);
    }

    public static DateTime FromUnixTimeStamp(long value)
    {
        return value > MaxUnixSeconds ? EPOCH_UNIX.AddMilliseconds(value) : EPOCH_UNIX.AddSeconds(value);
    }
}

A: According to https://www.epochconverter.com/ the UNIX timestamp of 3869074800 is 8/8/2092 11:00:00 PM, so C# is correctly displaying it in GMT.  UTC and GMT are... not the same, but for the purposes of a human reading it it's accurate to say that you can treat them as the same.
Your problem lies in how you got the UNIX timestamp of 3869074800.

A: The problem is JavaScript not C#, or more correctly your premise what new Date('August, 9 2092').getTime()/1000 represents.
JavaScript will create a new Date as being in local time zone not UTC. So
new Date('August, 9 2092')

is actually
Sat Aug 09 2092 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time)

Notice the offset? This is actually Fri Aug 08 2092 23:00:00 UTC+0000 so the epoch you get from JavaScript is not what you intended.
You should subtract the timezone offset (in minutes multiplied by 60) to get UTC though.
var date = new Date('August, 9 2092');
var timestamp = date.getTime()/1000 - date.getTimezoneOffset()*60;
// timestamp == 3869078400

EDIT
Rather than fudging the calculation, you'd be better off assuming the timestamp is local...
Change
public readonly static DateTime EPOCH_UNIX = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

to
public readonly static DateTime EPOCH_UNIX = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Local);

At least then the result is 08 Aug 2092 23:00 Local.

why are individuals so loopy about minecraft? With mods, yea, its acquired the very best mods. But most people don't know a thing about downloading mods. (now you understand something about me!) vanilla minecraft gets boring after 20 minutes. Also, persons are calling every sandbox game like minecraft, or a clone. Terraria and all of these games are said to be clones. Actually? give it some thought. Cloning is copying files. That is what clones are, copies. and when terraria and ROBLOX are stated to be clones, then you already know one thing is mistaken with the world. My level is roblox came first, do not starve is just not anything even close to minecraft, and a few persons are even saying Garrys mod is like minecraft (that's silly). now here's a lesson minecraft followers ought to know, minecraft didn't invent iron, gold, lapiz lazulie, pickaxes, zombies, skeletons, the phrase nether, or even blocks and the sandbox style.
Nope, that is unintelligible. Physical things/processes can't retailer memories. Recollections as in information may be stored, yes, but that's not reminiscence within the on a regular basis sense where we recollect prior events in our lives eg 1001010101 just isn't literally the identical thing as a memory of something I did yesterday, simply because the phrase green is not literally the very same factor as my understanding of what it is like to experience greenness. It could not be anyway since totally different phrases in different languages are used to convey greenness. And the knot I tie in my handkerchief, to remind me of something, just isn't literally the memory itself and so on.
I am serving to my daughter spec out a brand new laptop for faculty. She is Engineering, undecided what discipline she's going to pursue. However we would like laptop computer to last all 4 years, regardless of her main. We are considering totally loaded i7 Surface Ebook with the dedicated NVIDIA graphics, 1TB SSD, 16 GB memory. However, my concern is the i7 processor is twin core versus quad core. Do you assume the dual core might be enough? If not, we will have to look at bigger laptops (i.e. 15 inch). Generally, what's your opinion on the i7 dual core. Thanks for your assist.
The explanations for limited upgradeability are each technical and economic. There isn't any industry-vast standard type factor for laptops; each main laptop producer pursues its own proprietary design and construction, with the end result that laptops are difficult to upgrade and have high repair prices. With few exceptions, laptop elements can not often be swapped between laptops of competing manufacturers, or even between laptops from the totally different product-traces of the same manufacturer.

End of year message
from Peace Movement Aotearoa
This message is to wish you a very happy Solstice, Christmas and New Year. It includes an update about the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples' petition to parliament, preliminary information about the 2009 National Peace Workshops, details of Peace Movement Aotearoa's office and other arrangements during December and January, and our thanks for your support during 2008.
Update on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples petition
The Office of the House of the Clerk initially refused to accept the signatures on the UN Declaration petition to parliament (on a technicality, this is not related to it entering the premises without having gone through the security scanner!). Agreement has now been reached whereby another petition, in Peace Movement Aotearoa's name, is being lodged - urging the House of Representatives to take note of the UN Declaration petition - and it will then proceed to a Select Committee.
This somewhat bizarre process will actually make it easier to add additional signatures to those presented on Human Rights Day, so please continue collecting signatures through the summer - the summer festivals would be great places to take petition forms and a pen! The form is available here or from email - the final deadline for return of signatures is Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific Day, 1 March.
2009 National Peace Workshops
The 2009 National Peace Workshops, the national gathering for people interested in peace, social justice and human rights, will be at the Quaker Settlement in Whanganui in mid or late March - the date is currently being finalised, and will be available soon. The theme of the 2009 NPW is 'Promoting peace through active non-violent resistance' and the main focus will be participatory discussion with Maori, Pacific and Pakeha contributors who have experience of community and individual non-violent resistance, and/or non-violent direct action in Aotearoa and overseas. Preliminary information about the National Peace Workshops, including the programme outline, venue and accommodation options, is available here.
Peace Movement Aotearoa holiday arrangements
Email messages: there will be no more e-list messages from us this year, other than any relating to the National Peace Workshops and a couple of other things we are working on at present. We will resume sending list messages in the last week of January. From now until then, email messages sent to us will be downloaded but not processed (unless they relate to the ongoing areas of our work).
Web site: there may be some updating of three pages over the holiday period * the Universal Periodic Review of the NZ government's human rights record page (this page has been updated recently with a new resource section, have a look if you're interested in the Universal Periodic Review) * the NZ police and tasers page, and the National Peace Workshops page.
Telephone messages and mail: our office will be open for several hours each week throughout the holiday period to collect telephone messages and mail.
Our thanks to everyone who has supported Peace Movement Aotearoa during 2008 - whether through your gifts of time, energy or donations; and for sharing with us the issues of concern to you and your thoughts on them.
If you should feel inspired in this season of giving to make a donation in appreciation of our work over the past year, that would be gratefully received - especially as we did not have time to send out an annual appeal mailing during 2008, which has been another exceptionally busy year for us. Your generosity will be rewarded with the knowledge you will be helping our work to continue in 2009. Simply print out the form below, fill it in and post it to us with your cheque. If you would like to make a donation via Internet banking, please email Peace Movement Aotearoa and we will provide the details for you.
We wish you, your friends and your family a peaceful, restful break, and safe journeys if you are travelling,
from everyone at Peace Movement Aotearoa.

Howdy, friend, and welcome. I'm John Andrews, mayor for life up here in the little mountain town of Backbone Colorado USA, my imaginary home of the heart, tucked far above timberline in the shadow of the Continental Divide.
I took to calling my commentary in Denver newspapers, TV, and radio "dispatches from the divide" because my aim as a writer has always been to seek out, and spell out, the ridgeline between what's right and true and what isn't. A decision point, kind of like the rugged spine on the land from which waters flow away to one ocean or the other.
This website offers several books and writings of mine, along with dispatches on my America blog and notes on my daily Bible blog, all aimed at helping citizens (of the Republic and the Kingdom) do the sort of watershed thinking that clarifies character and fosters wise choices. Clearer thinking is indeed a matter of survival, as Solomon knew when he warned that "as a man thinketh, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).
In the natural world, a spine is one vital difference between the eagle or diamondback and the moth or worm. Not hard for you and me to choose which category we'd rather be in, is it? In human history, sad experience teaches that before nations go lifeless, they go spineless -- and current headlines make it all too plain that America may be headed that way.
But let me tell you: that will never be our country's fate if I can help it, not as long as I have breath in my body. And I bet you feel the same way. Part of the answer is for us to step up with courage and clarity as watershed thinkers. To set about rediscovering America's backbone.
If you agree and want to join in, wonderful. You've come to the right place. We sure need allies!

A death star's ghostly glow
Space Telescope Science Institute
Astronomers discovered a real "tell-tale heart" in space, 6,500 light-years from Earth. The "heart" is the crushed core of a long-dead star, called a neutron star, which exploded as a supernova and is now still beating with rhythmic precision. Evidence of its heartbeat are rapid-fire, lighthouse-like pulses of energy from the fast-spinning neutron star. The stellar relic is embedded in the centre of the Crab Nebula, the expanding, tattered remains of the doomed star. Image credits: NASA and ESA, Acknowledgment: M. Weisskopf/Marshall Space Flight Center.
The eerie glow of a dead star, which exploded long ago as a supernova, reveals itself in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Crab Nebula. But don't be fooled. The ghoulish-looking object still has a pulse. Buried at its centre is the star's telltale heart, which beats with rhythmic precision.
The "heart" is the crushed core of the exploded star. Called a neutron star, it has about the same mass as the Sun but is squeezed into an ultra-dense sphere that is only a few miles across and 100 billion times stronger than steel. The tiny powerhouse is the bright star-like object near the centre of the image.
This surviving remnant is a tremendous dynamo, spinning 30 times a second. The wildly whirling object produces a deadly magnetic field that generates an electrifying 1 trillion volts. This energetic activity unleashes wisp-like waves that form an expanding ring, most easily seen to the upper right of the pulsar. The nebula's hot gas glows in radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to X-rays. The Hubble observations were taken in visible light as black-and-white exposures. The Advanced Camera for Surveys made the observations between January and September 2012. The green hue has been added to give the image a Halloween theme.
This time-lapse movie of the Crab Nebula, made from NASA Hubble Space Telescope observations, reveals wave-like structures expanding outward from the "heart" of an exploded star. The waves look like ripples in a pond. The heart is the crushed core of the exploded star, or supernova. Called a neutron star, it has about the same mass as the Sun but is squeezed into an ultra-dense sphere that is only a few miles across and 100 billion times stronger than steel. This surviving relic is a tremendous dynamo, spinning 30 times a second. The rapidly spinning neutron star is visible in the image as the bright object just below centre. The bright object to the left of the neutron star is a foreground or background star. The movie is assembled from ten Hubble exposures taken between September and November 2005 by the Advanced Camera for Surveys. Image credits: NASA and ESA, Acknowledgment: J. Hester (Arizona State University).
The Crab Nebula is one of the most historic and intensively studied supernova remnants. Observations of the nebula date back to 1054 A.D., when Chinese astronomers first recorded seeing a "guest star" during the daytime for 23 days. The star appeared six times brighter than Venus. Japanese, Arabic, and Native American stargazers also recorded seeing the mystery star. In 1758, while searching for a comet, French astronomer Charles Messier discovered a hazy nebula near the location of the long-vanished supernova. He later added the nebula to his celestial catalogue as "Messier 1," marking it as a "fake comet." Nearly a century later British astronomer William Parsons sketched the nebula. Its resemblance to a crustacean led to M1's other name, the Crab Nebula. In 1928 astronomer Edwin Hubble first proposed associating the Crab Nebula to the Chinese "guest star" of 1054.
The nebula, bright enough to be visible in amateur telescopes, is located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation of Taurus.

Spinning black hole swallowing star explains superluminous event
13 December 2016 Astronomy Now
An extraordinarily brilliant point of light seen in a distant galaxy, and dubbed ASASSN-15lh, was thought to be the brightest supernova ever seen. But new observations from several observatories, including ESO and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, have now cast doubt on this classification.
Kepler Space Telescope sheds light on fast-evolving supernovae
26 March 2018 Astronomy Now
NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has captured a difficult-to-detect, fast-evolving supernova in the act of blowing up and rapidly fading away, allowing astronomers to rule out competing theories and come up with a plausible explanation.
Messier 17 in Sagittarius: a cosmic rose with many names
This new image of the rose-coloured star forming region Messier 17 was captured by the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. It is one of the sharpest images showing the entire nebula and not only reveals its full size, but also retains fine detail throughout the cosmic landscape of gas clouds, dust and newborn stars.

Is it the 217? or the NP5?
It could be. Ian Stewart uses one at 3rd.
any idea what the white finger pads guys use are? I've seen them on a bunch of pro gloves.
I looked for awhile and never found a good picture haha. But yeah, from that picture I'm guessing a 200 too.
I think the white pad is just a "finger pad" for guys who use the 2-in the pink/.
Here's a cached page of where I saw something about the index pad on Ramirez's gamer. The regular web page would not show up.


Sweden Election Results See Surge In Support For Anti-Immigrant Party The people of Sweden are choosing a new government on Sunday. The country's usually calm political landscape has been disrupted by a surge in backing for a populist anti-immigrant party. NPR's Michel Martin speaks with reporter Maddy Savage.
The people of Sweden are choosing a new government on Sunday. The country's usually calm political landscape has been disrupted by a surge in backing for a populist anti-immigrant party. NPR's Michel Martin speaks with reporter Maddy Savage.
We go to Sweden now, where voting stations have closed in what's been described as the most unpredictable and competitive election there in decades. The specific contest is for seats in the 349-seat national legislature. But the election is also about the country's response to Europe's refugee crisis. Sweden took in about 160,000 refugees in 2015. It's not a large number, but it was the most per capita in Europe. Now the nationalist, anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, a group with roots in the neo-Nazi movement, is poised to win at least enough seats to influence the direction of the new government. Journalist Maddy Savage is in Stockholm, and she's with us now via Skype with an update on today's vote.
Maddy, welcome. Thanks so much for joining us.
MARTIN: So polls have now closed. What are you hearing so far about the outcome?
SAVAGE: Well, I'm watching the results come in at an election party at a craft beer bar showing the results coming in on a huge projector screen here in Stockholm. It's been a very tense few hours - something of a party atmosphere here, lots of balloons hung up everywhere. But Swedish politics is complicated, and the key question here is, who exactly is celebrating?
Preliminary results suggest that the party that everyone's been talking about, the Sweden Democrats, this nationalist, anti-immigration party - they won around 18 percent, putting them in third place. So not doing quite as well as many polls predicted them to do, but still a big jump since the last election in 2014 when they got around 13 percent of the vote. And we've been watching pictures of their leader, Jimmie Akesson, incredibly jubilant at their rally.
In terms of who's going to be in government based on these results, though, it's still a bit confusing. There's eight parties in Sweden. Usually, there's either a center-left or a center-right bloc that's able to form a coalition. But they're neck and neck - both run around 40 percent right now.
MARTIN: So tell me more about the Sweden Democrats. What's their core message?
SAVAGE: The key message is to put major limits on immigration to Sweden, which once had a global reputation for openness and tolerance. They want to put a temporary stop to anyone seeking asylum here. They want to make it harder for families to reunite, easier to deport people who haven't been granted asylum and much stricter rules on immigrants learning Swedish. Some very strong comments from their leader, Jimmie Akesson, in the past couple of days - he said, some immigrants are finding it hard to a job because they're not Swedes, and they don't fit into Sweden. But this party has, as we've seen, managed to draw a lot of voters from largely lower income, rural areas but also increasingly from other sections of the population, too.
MARTIN: So to this point - we only have about a minute left - it's my understanding that the Sweden Democrats had been considered politically toxic, but if they win enough seats, it seems that they would influence the governing coalition somehow. What is that likely to look like from what you see now?
SAVAGE: The key question now is whether the center-right bloc, given that everything's so tight, will go back on their word in terms of saying they wouldn't form a formal coalition with them. Could they end up doing that? Could there be some kind of informal coalition where they rely on the support from the Sweden Democrats? That's something that we're waiting to find out. Another option is that some of the smaller parties could move to the left and create a new kind of coalition constellation. So we still don't know. Exciting times in Swedish politics, but the key takeaway - a very fragmented electorate and more people turning to the nationalist party here than ever before.
MARTIN: That is journalist Maddy Savage in Stockholm.
