King, Jr, a civil rights activist who in the mid-1950s began making a significant impact on race relations. He promoted making changes to federal and state law through nonviolent activism during the Civil Rights Movement. His leadership played a significant role in ending legal segregation of African-Americans across the nation but especially in the South. Dr. King is best know for his infamous 1963, "I Have a Dream" speech as well as winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Sadly he was assassinated in April 1968.
George Washington Carver was a prominent African-American scientist and inventor. He was born into slavery. In 1865, the Civil War brought an end of slavery in Missouri and Moses Carver and his wife, Susan, decided to raise George and his brother James at their home and began educating the two boys. George's thirst for knowledge remained the driving force for the rest of George's life. Carver got accepted to Iowa State's College of Agriculture and received his master's degree from the university. After graduation, George began a career in teaching and research at Tuskegee University. His work in botany brought about over 100 products using one major crop - the peanut- which included dyes, plastics and gasoline. He was so admired for his work that even President Theodore Roosevelt sought his advice on agricultural matters in the United States.
The first African-American woman to be admitted into the United States astronaut training program is Mae C. Jemison. At the age of 3, Mae's family moved to Chicago, Illinois, to take advantage of the abundant educational opportunities there. Growing up, she spent a large amount of time in her school library reading about all aspects of science, especially astronomy. She attended Stanford University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering. After that, she was admitted into Cornell University Medical College and obtained her M.D. in 1981. She spent two and a half years in the Peace Corps after graduation. When she returned to the United States, she decided to follow her dream and applied for admission to NASA's astronaut training program. In 1992, Jemison became the first African-American woman in space when she became a crew member on the Endeavour.

ICOMM PERSONNEL HOUSING
FIVE DAYS EARLIER
"AM I UNDER HOUSE ARREST?" Sabine said, glaring at Connor's little square on her laptop screen. He was the only one present for the Zoom meeting with the Athena crew so far. He seemed distracted, or maybe uncomfortable. Could it be because he'd expressed his feelings for her last night and now felt awkward? For him, it might be even more difficult balancing between personal and professional, especially since the others hadn't yet joined the meeting.
"I'll explain to everyone when they join in," he said, eyes elsewhere on his screen and working his mouse and keyboard. "I'm sorry they handled it like this."
"Oh you mean the Vanderberg Gestapo? Yeah, that was a bit much."
"It was out of my hands."
Lucy and Blake joined in, and within seconds, Jon did as well. They all said hello, but when Jon waved to everyone, no sound came out.
"Jon, hit 'unmute," Lucy said.
"—kay…Sorry about that." Jon shrugged.
Connor started without any introductory words. "All right, kids. First off, I heard about what happened after your medical exams this morning."
Jon jumped right at it. "Yeah, Connor. What the hell, man?"
"I know, I know. ICOMM decided and contacted the base before telling me. They're putting us all under quarantine for ten days."
"So why the gorillas?" Blake said.
"As soon as management learned about the anomalies in the medical reports, they immediately enacted quarantine protocols, which involved base security enforcement. I didn't even know about it until after the fact."
A cacophonous chorus erupted. From annoyance to outrage and concern, the range of emotions ran the gamut for all except for Blake, who remained still with concern etched in his brow. He waited until everyone stopped talking over each other.
"Are we infected with something?" Blake said, his voice calm and severe.
Connor drew a breath, then said, "We'll have your bloodwork back tomorrow, that's when we'll know better. Aside from that, your physicals came back good."
"So why are they keeping us locked in our apartments on the base?" Lucy said.
"You know the deal." Connor pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Out of an abundance of caution."
Sabine just remembered. "You said they're putting us all under quarantine. Does that mean you too, Connor?"
He nodded. "I, and everyone else who had contact."
"This is crazy," Jon said. "I feel fine. Bunch of paranoid bean-counters driving this."
"Look, it's only self-isolation for ten days, I'm fairly certain your labs will come back normal and we can just move on and let the scientists speculate. Can I count on you guys to self-enforce, or will you need some help?"
"Are you talking about armed guards outside our doors for the next ten days?" Lucy said.
Again, everyone spoke at the same time, the phrase "ten days" popping up several times.
While everyone else bristled at the announcement, Blake remained stoic. "We'll self-isolate. No need for outside enforcement.
"Good," Connor said. "I knew I could count on you all."
"But some things are just not adding up," Blake said. "The fact that all four of us were ready for the morgue…"
Connor held up a hand. "I'm just as mystified. Wish I had an explanation, but that'll be coming along with the lab results, I hope. Meanwhile, I'm just glad you're all doing well. You are doing all right, aren't you?"
Everyone nodded.
Sabine did as well, but more to be agreeable than honest.
"For the most part," Blake said. "I'm having some trouble sleeping, but that's typical for me after a mission."
"I hear you," Connor said. "I promise, as soon as I have any information, I'll let you all know. In the meantime, please observe the quarantine strictly."
"Can we contact friends, family?" Sabine said.
"Due to the classified nature of your work, you'll need to keep that to a minimum. As always, do not discuss the mission or any peripheral matters. Let the few you contact know that you'll need to be under quarantine for ten days, but let them know this is routine. Don't even hint at what happened with when you returned."
"It's never taken ten days," Sabine said.
"If they even ask about that, keep calm. We don't need a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories going around the internet. Everyone clear about that?"
Groans and nods.
"All right. I'll be in touch, and if you have any questions and concerns, you know how to reach me."
They all said goodbye, and one by one left the call.
Lucy was the last one Sabine saw on the screen and was just about to leave.
"Hey, Luce?"
"Hey, girl. What's up?"
"Can you stay on a bit longer to talk?"
"Anything from you, my sister from another mother." Lucy seemed back to her usual friendly self. Not like that brief moment outside Dr. Prabhu's office where she started asking weird questions.
"I can't believe we're on lockdown," Sabine said. "Are you going to be okay?"
She held up her coffee mug. "Got my coffee, got my Netflix…I'm chill."
"Aren't you going to be lonely?" Sabine said. "I hate being isolated."
"He never said we can't see each other, right?"
Luce wagged her eyebrows.
"Wait…no!"
"You and Jon? I knew it!"
"I mean, it's just Netflix and popcorn," Lucy said.
"Yeah, right!"
"Shut up. I take things slow, all right?"
Sabine laughed. "You two are good together. And Jon's funny, I can see how much he makes you laugh."
"Better laughing than crying."
"Got that right." Should she say anything about Connor? Probably not. They weren't a thing, and it wouldn't be right to share such personal matters that could affect how the team saw him—even if all he'd done was express interest. "I was looking forward to going home, to seeing the love of my life."
"Relax, I'm talking about Hulk."
"Oh yeah, your Corgi? Who's watching him, your mom?"
Sabine shook her head. "Derek. He's going to be thrilled about having an extra week with him."
"Good thing your brother likes dogs," Lucy said.
"Actually, Hulk bit him last week when I dropped him off."
"Yeah, broke the skin, a bit of blood….Derek did his best not to get upset. Hey Lucy, mind if I ask you something?"
"This morning, after I got out of the doctor's office, you asked me some strange questions."
"Yeah, something about encephalitic trauma, signs of rejection?"
"Nuh-uh…"
"Seriously, you asked if I'd experienced anything like that, asked about my case."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. What the heck is encepha…licta—whatever—trauma anyway?"
"I don't know, you're the one who asked."
"How could I ask that if I don't even know what it is?"
"Okay, never mind. Maybe I misheard you."
Luce nodded, giving her a bewildered look. "All I know is as soon as Jon and I left you, these security guards came and 'escorted' us back to our apartments…and here we are, quarantined."
"Yeah, here we are." Always mitigating to avoid further conflict. That's what Sabine had always done, but she was certain of that conversation, whether or not Lucy recalled it. Best talk with Blake as see if he'd noticed anything unusual since returning. "Hey, I'm going to get going now. I'll check with you later, okay?"
"Be safe, Beanie."
"You too."
She ended the Zoom call and shut her laptop. Ten days wasn't that bad, all things considered. The worst of it would be seeing if Derek and Hulk could survive being together.
Blowing out a frustrated breath, she took out her phone and sent him a text.
SABINE: Hey, Derek. I'm back, but it looks like they're keeping us in quarantine for another 10 days. You and Hulk good?
She waited for a few seconds, but there was no response.
After about thirty seconds, his reply came in:
Derek: …
Sabine: Sorry, I'm stuck in Cali until then.
Derek: It's okay, I guess. But this dog is going to eat me in my sleep, I can feel it.
Sabine: LOL, no. Hulky loves you.
Derek: Like he loves steak, with extra bbq sauce.
Sabine: It's just ten more days, please?
Derek: Yeah, sure. He's not so bad. Don't worry, we'll be fine. You okay?
Sabine: It's nothing, just routine stuff. Can you let mom know?
Derek: She'll have a million questions, better tell her yourself.
Sabine: Ok, thanks. See you soon.
Derek: ☹ Hurry, he's looking at me that way again…
Sabine: LOL, stop!
With all the irregularities since returning from the mission, she had to wonder if it was all in her head, or was this just the new normal? Sabine sat there staring out the window until her stomach audibly let her know it was time to eat.
She'd be Door Dashing it for the next week and a half, might as well get started now. At some point there would have to be some grocery deliveries as well.
After ordering breakfast, it would be best to start planning out the day. Even though she wasn't going anywhere, nothing could be more depressing than sitting around the apartment alone and aimless.
First on the agenda…
Call Blake.
Since Dad passed away, she seemed to be turning to Blake a lot whenever she needed perspective or guidance. He could never replace Dad, but he was one of the few people she could trust almost as much.
She launched Facetime and called him.
"Hi, Sabine." Blake gave her a slight smile. "Everything okay?"
"Yeah, no. It's all good. I mean, it was a bit jarring getting arrested this morning, but other than that…"
"That was interesting," he said. "A bit heavy-handed, if you ask me. So what's on your mind?"
"Well, I've got tons of unanswered questions and no one to talk to."
"What questions?"
"The obvious, like what happened to us, why we're being quarantined," she said.
"I guess we'll let the experts answer that."
"And the not so obvious."
Blake got closer to the camera. "Meaning?"
An alert chimed on her phone. "Hold on, ok?" She looked at the screen to find that her Door Dash order was being picked up. "Sorry, I just ordered breakfast and it's coming soon."
"Good idea," Blake said. "I'll have to give that a try. So what are your not so obvious questions?"
If there was anyone she could tell, it was him. "I've had some strange things happen since we got back."
"Stranger than returning from the dead?"
"There's nothing stranger than that," she said. "But smaller, more niggling things that have happened and don't make sense."
"I've had some things too."
His eyes darted away, then back. In a hushed tone, he said, "We need to talk. But not over the phone or email. In person."
Blake was a principled man, a rule follower, and an enforcer. This was out of character for him. "We're under quarantine orders," Sabine said, her voice subdued. "How are supposed to do that?"
"I've got a plan."

Community Collaborations: Rock the BlockA Habitat Family Story: Little Luxuries
Earlier this year the White House released its full fiscal year 2018 budget request, proposing to eliminate funding for programs that further Habitat for Humanity's efforts to address the affordable housing crisis in Seattle – King County and across the United States. The proposed cuts include the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP), the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program, and the Corporation for National and Community Service. These vital programs allow Habitat organizations nationwide, as well as other organizations, to support more people with to access rare opportunities for affordable homeownership. They help provide the tools individuals need to build better lives for themselves and their families. Habitat for Humanity Seattle – King County encourages its supporters, and all advocates for affordable housing, to contact their members of Congress and urge them to support adequate funding for these critical programs.
Without the proven programs that are now sadly in jeopardy, too many of our neighbors and fellow citizens will be denied access to the tools and a hand up that helps them build better lives. These tangible and fruitful investments play an important role in furthering the reach of Habitat's work. So we call upon our elected officials to not lose sight of the effectiveness and impact of these programs in communities large and small.
For Habitat for Humanity, this is a moral issue, not simply a budget one. Helping more people build and improve decent places to call home only serves to strengthen the fabric and economies of the cities and towns in which we all live and work.
Statement from Gail Luxenberg, CEO:
There has never been a more important time for Seattleites to stand up for quality, affordable housing. Decent, affordable housing provides the stability individuals and families alike need to improve their health and education, enhance their financial growth and security, and strengthen their neighborhoods.
All of this would not be possible without the strong partnership that Habitat for Humanity Seattle – King County has forged with AmeriCorps. Since 1998, more than 268 AmeriCorps volunteers have served more than 438,600 hours with Habitat SKC and currently 28 of 54 staff at our affiliate are active AmeriCorps members or AmeriCorps Alumni. This program supports members of our society who chose to enter into full time volunteer positions, dedicating over 30 hours every week to the Habitat mission. The amount of time, expertise and labor they donate to Habitat is an unequivocal factor of the reach of and impact we have in King County. The program not only impacts the greater community and serves economically disadvantaged families, but changes the lives of those who serve through volunteer leadership opportunities.
With help from the AmeriCorps program, Habitat SKC has been able to sustain new construction underway in Pacific, WA, building nine single-family homes serving veterans, and will soon start construction in Sammamish, WA. This project in King County's Eastside has 10 cottage-style homes for low income families for an estimated $180,000-$250,000 each, in an area where the median home price rose 25 percent in one year, to $871,000 this year (MLS). We also offer Homeowner Education, Maintenance, and Financial classes to both Habitat partner families as well as to the public.
In addition to building homes, Habitat for Humanity has added a Neighborhood Revitalization program over the past decade, helping existing low-income homeowners to stay in their homes and improve their neighborhoods, through concentrated Critical Repairs and targeted revitalization projects.
Habitat SKC continues to serve families and empower neighborhoods by bringing the community together. In King County, we have built, repaired, and renovated 452 homes in 17 cities. Those homes are shelter to over 1,600 clients, including 952 children. Support Habitat-SKC, our families and our community by using our postcards to inform your representative of the need for adequate public funding.

Q: How to move from 1 recyclerview fragment to its own activity? My current recycler view has 2 fragments. i used a relative layout encapsulating 2 textviews for each fragment within the xml file used by the adapter.
My problem now is this; how do i make it such that when i click on each fragment, i can move to its unique location. Like from option 1 -> screen 1(activity), option 2 -> screen 2(activity 2).
Someone please help and explain to me step by step. i just started learning android app development 4 days ago.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/relativeLay"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="20dp">

        <View
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="@color/black" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/nuts"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Nutrients" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/description"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/nuts"
            android:text="Description" />

</RelativeLayout>

The above is the xml filed i used for the adapter. The view is just for a line separator.
 public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.food_names, parent,false);
        ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder(view);
        return holder;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        holder.names.setText(info.get(position).getName());
        holder.desc.setText(info.get(position).getDescription());
        holder.parent.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Toast.makeText(context, "Hello", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

    }
 public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
        private TextView names, desc;
        private RelativeLayout parent;
        public ViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            parent = itemView.findViewById(R.id.relativeLay);

            names = itemView.findViewById(R.id.nuts);
            desc = itemView.findViewById(R.id.description);

        }
    }

Currently, this are my adapter methods, did not post the constructor(it just takes in context) and getItemCount() method since i think they wont affect much? If they would then let me know, i would post them too.
As you can see, since i set the entire relativelayout(parent) with an onClickListener, once i click on it, it shows the toast message(this is for trying purposes).
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_nutrient_source);
        recyclerViewNuts = findViewById(R.id.recyclerViewNuts);

        ArrayList<Information> info = new ArrayList<>();
        info.add(new Information("Protein", "Makes you strong!"));
        info.add(new Information("Carbohydrates", "Provides Glycogen for energy"));

        nutsAdapter adapter = new nutsAdapter(this);
        adapter.setInfo(info);

        recyclerViewNuts.setAdapter(adapter);
        recyclerViewNuts.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));

This is the activity in which these relativelayouts reside in. i have 2 options, protein and carbs. When i press on protein, i need it to go to its protein related page, and carbs to its own carb related page.

A: Alright i managed to find a way. For those who are curious or have similar problems, i passed the position of the recyclerview into a int variable, and wrote IF statements.
if(position == 0){
//go to activity1
}
if(position ==1){
//go to activity2
}

Sadegh Hedayat
The Blind Owl
Recognized as the outstanding Iranian writer of the twentieth century, Sadegh Hedayat is credited with having brought his country's language and literature into the mainstream of contemporary writing. The Blind Owl, long considered a classic and often compared to the works of Poe, chillingly recreates the labyrinthine movements of a deranged mind. The young woman who haunts the narrator is first introduced as a stranger with jet-black hair and wide, haunting eyes. She creeps into the narrator's room but he realizes, upon touching her, that she is lifeless and cold. The narrator, a painter and opium addict, packs the woman's corpse into a suitcase and takes her to an remote spot along the banks of a river, where he buries her. Along the way he meets an old man with a spine-chilling laugh who becomes the first in a stream of recurring mental images: four cadaverous black horses with rasping coughs, a hidden urn of poisoned wine, a sheep butcher, and a small painting of a woman on the back of a pen-case soon follow. Through a series of intricately woven events that revolve around these images, the narrator is compelled to record his obsession with the woman even as it drives him further into madness. That the narrator is recording his confession for the sake of his shadow, which he thinks perfectly resembles an owl, only heightens the sense of terror: "My shadow on the wall had become exactly like an owl and, leaning forward, read intently every word I wrote."The eerie images, and their repetition, obscure reality and twist and turn into themselves, disorienting the reader and mimicing the distress of the opium-addled narrator. The woman, at first a stranger, becomes the narrator's mother, and finally his wife. As the book winds to a close, the narrator is trapped in his room, so dissociated from reality that his shadow appears more real to him than he himself does. The narrator finally takes up his bone-handled butcher's knife (the same instrument he has seen the butcher wiping on the legs of sheep carcasses), and proceeds to the beautiful young woman's room. After she welcomes him in, he falls into — or springs upon — her, consumed by lust and hatred ("[they] were twins. Her fresh, moonlight-pale body . . . opened and closed me within itself like a cobra coiling around its prey"). In the confused, impassioned struggle that follows, the man sinks his knife into the young woman's side, killing her. Emitting a hollow, grating laugh, he staggers to a mirror — only to find that his reflection is that of the old bearded man who has so long been haunting him. The book ends with the man looking out of his room to see the crouching figure of the old man disappearing into the mist, and looking down at his own chest to see maggots writing in the folds of his coat, and to feel the weight of the dead woman upon his chest.

Wattmeter is an instrument, used to measure power in a circuit using current and voltage of the circuit.
The wattmeter is essentially an electrodynamic mechanism, in which the stationary and movable coils separately measure the current and voltage of the circuit, as shown in Fig.
The stationary coil is designed to handle the current of the circuit, whereas the moving coil is connected in series with a multiplying resistor and designed to respond to the voltage of the circuit. As the torque of the moving coil depends directly on the magnetic fields produced by both coil, the moving coil deflection is proportional to the product of voltage and current. Hence the instrument is calibrated directly in watts.
In an AC circuit, the voltage and current are generally not in phase so that their product does not equal the power. Rather, the power equals the product of voltage and current, the apparent power, and a term called the power factor. Often one does not know the Power factor of an AC circuit and cannot determine the power from separate voltage and current measurements. Yet, the electrodynamic wattmeter allows one to determine directly the power in an AC circuit.
Wattmeters have one voltage and one current terminal signed with a ± symbol. For an upscale deflection, current must simultaneously enter both signed terminals or leave both signed terminals. A correct wattmeter connection is shown in the following figure.
The wattmeter connection shown in above figure is a short shunt connection since the voltage element of the wattmeter is across the load only. The wattmeter reads not only the load power but also the power lost in a voltage element. Knowing the resistance of the appropriate element, one can correct for the instrument power loss.
The wattmeter in above figure reads 200 W when the line voltage is 150 V. if the resistance of the voltage element is 4 kW, what is true load power?
Both the voltage and current elements of a wattmeter have ratings and these ratings should not be exceeded. However, it is possible to exceed either the voltage or current rating even though the wattmeter pointer does not go off the scale. Therefore, one should have an idea of voltage and current being applied to a wattmeter. A shunt can be used so as not to exceed a current rating and a series resistor can be used so as not to exceed a voltage rating.


Despite 21 points from Grace Rosa and 18 by Karly Beyers, the Allan Hancock College women's basketball team dropped a 57-55 decision to Las Positas in the consolation semifinals of Monterey Peninsula's tournament Friday. The Bulldogs dropped their third in a row to fall to 6-6, while Las Positas improved to 2-9 and avenged an earlier loss this season to Hancock.
Hancock led19-14 after the first quarter and 27-22 at halftime. The Bulldogs led 43-33 to start the fourth quarter, but Las Positas outscored Hancock 24-12 in the final 10 minutes to pull out a come-from-behind victory.
Rosa hit 9-of-11 from the floor and all three of her free throws to finish with 21 points. The sophomore added three rebounds and two blocked shots.
Beyers went 4-for-5 from 3-point range and 6-for-13 overall from the floor. The Pioneer Valley High School graduate led the team with nine rebounds to go with four assists and two steals.
Anamarie Fruge finished with nine points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
The Bulldogs return to action Thursday, Dec. 28, against Mt. San Jacinto at a tournament hosted by Ventura College.

Another excellent chat session is now over. A big thank you to all that showed up! This chat client seemed to hold up much better than the old one.
I can't believe how many people turned up. The chat seems to be quite popular. Should I have them more frequent? If so leave a comment and let me know.
-:cncgordon:- Good evening. Just let me say your videos are awesome.
-:West:- Skew planar and cloverleaf…r they good for 2.4ghz range?
-:interspace:- You think Y6 will be better setup for FPV than tricopter?
-:Vindfrisk:- Both the ESCs and Battery for your Tricopter 2.5 is on backorder from Hobbyking, what would you recommend buying instead?
-:anas:- Hey dave, have you had problems using Propsavers because of the torque in quick throttle corrections???
-:bbmagic:- David if a cloverleaf is made incorrectly can it damage a Tx? Is there a way to check it before use?
-:Klonas:- Is the mini tricopter less stable than a big one? And does making bigger and bigger increase stability?
-:Guest:- Hello, i'm starting building tricopter soon and where can i get the latest kkboards latest firmware?
-:West:- TY I also noticed the calculators u have do not give the same numbers, ie monopole for 1/4 wave = x and cloverleaf/skewer = not the same …is this intentional?
-:bob:- hello. i tried the kk board u recommanded on ur tricopter v2.5, i got a small problem now. the servo kept glitching.
-:jrooth:- RCExplorer: are you still flying with OpenLRS too? working fine?
-:interspace:- David you still use DT750 motors. Do you try something else?
-:anas:- @bob: is it glitching in mid air flight as well?!
-:Trinom:- I've built tricopter v2.5, you can see it here – https://picasaweb.google.com/116504312330534460153/TricopterFotkyStavby – but I have some initial issues. I tried to use latest 2.5 firmware and I'm not able to set gains correctly. Does anyone have similar problem?
-:avzaid:- but I see a long antenna for your Rx?
-:Vindfrisk:- What radio would you recommend for a beginner? Im planning on flying multikopters and maybe some airplanes. This will be my first radio. I have been looking at the Hitec Optic 6 Sport, is that a good choice?
-:bob:- really? what radio do u use?
-:West:- David, I also noticed the calculators u have do not give the same numbers, ie monopole for 1/4 wave = x and cloverleaf/skewer = not the same …is this intentional?
-:bbmagic:- @vindfrisk – the hitec Optic 6 is a good radio….. the turnigy 9x might be a better value however.
-:RCExplorer:- Trinsom: 2.5 firmware? 1.6 is the latest KK software?
-:Vindfrisk:- @bbmagic @Klonas have read you have to flash Turnigy9x to make it work properly.. true?
-:Guest:- What version of aurora's firmware you use? I've tried to download the 1.08 from hitec USA's website, and virus went in my computer with firmware file.
-:avzaid:- Dave: the reason I am asking is because 2.4G antenna is usually small, but the antenna that I see in your videos is a long antenna for your Rx?
-:RCExplorer:- Bob, wierd? When you dissarm it? how bad is it?
-:bbmagic:- @ vindfrisk – nah the stock firmware will work fine but it is a little funky in layout. There are others that might make it easier to program for you.
-:RCExplorer:- Anas: What problem do you have?
-:bob:- eh, very bad. it affected the flight a bit.
-:Vindfrisk:- Where do we buy Fatshark equipment in Sweden, are there other glasses for FPV than Fatshark?
-:bbmagic:- @gkowen thats just Classic!!
-:anas:- I can´t really arm or disarm always, so I think it is the tx or rx. I have tried several receivers but always the same thing.
-:jrooth:- RCExplorer: cool. glad to hear that works will. But does the TX warn for lost packages when you have a booster?
-:anas:- then when I slightly dip a little on the ground I often loose full connection and even have to rebind: I use a Spektrum DX6i with orange rx and several spektrum receivers….
-:noxnflame:- Hey guys! This is a cool thing to do david I really like the live chat!
-:West:- Davd what kind of range should I expect using 2.4ghz 200mw with cloverleaf TX and skewer RX?
-:bob:- hey anas, it is quite similar as mine.
-:Vindfrisk:- what does mode 1 and mode 2 refer to on a radio?
-:noxnflame:- Does anyone know if patch antennas work better when they are closer to the ground?
-:RCExplorer:- Bob: Is it twiching when you armed the board as well?
-:bbmagic:- @anas – it must not be the recv. Could there be a power interuption?
-:avzaid:- IC, have you ever faced a problem between 2.4G and 1.3G Video interference and causing the Tricopter to stop in the air, I always had this problem even though the distance between the Video Tx and RC Rx is almost 20cm, what do you suggest to do ?
-:bob:- and the speed of the servo coming back to the centre is extremely slow.
-:Exyator:- Just came back from flying my tricopter with a hero2 for the first time!!!
-:scraighamilton:- @Rcexplorer, Are you using the GoPro as your main FPV camera on your Tricopter? If so, do you notice any latincy in the video? Keep up the good work!
-:Vindfrisk:- thanks so far for all good help. Turnigy 9X or Futaba 6ex?
-:jrooth:- RCExplorer: btw – where did you get the 433 MHz bowtie antenna?
-:RCExplorer:- Avazid: What 1.3GHz transmitter and what 2.4 GHZ system are you using?
-:bob:- during the flight: glitch and could crash any time.
-:Exyator:- @RCExplorer when are you going to make a new video?
-:West:- David I have made the bow tie as well…what can u say about them for longer range?
-:Guest:- How much weight can tricopter 2.5 carry?
-:anas:- how long is this chat going to be open!?
-:RCExplorer:- Bob: Sounds really bad. What board are you using? What firmware?
-:bbmagic:- David – Thanks for getting the new chat….. seems to be holding up really well!
-:Klonas:- Is this filled with helium?
-:bob:- @RCExplorer: many people online have got this prob.
-:Vindfrisk:- @RCExplorer, did you mean Optic 6 or Optic 6 Sport?
-:Klonas:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/6620972645/in/photostream Is this filled with Helium?
-:West:- The tie goes to RX side and what would be best on the TX side?
-:Exyator:- @klonas that thing looks coool!
-:jcansdale:- @RCExplorer: I'm interested to know what your preferred FPV goggles are. Have you had a chance to try the Fatshark Dominator?
-:RCExplorer:- avzaid: Yeah the JR does not like interferance. 800mW seems a bit much. I use a 300mW and get plenty of range. Have you tried a lowpass filter on the video TX?
-:jrooth:- anybody have a good advise on how not to get fog in the Fatsharks during wintertime?
-:scraighamilton:- @RCExplorer: Are you using the GoPro as your main FPV camera on your Tricopter? If so, do you notice any latincy in the video?
-:RCExplorer:- Bob: Do you know what firmare it has?
-:bob:- there is always a big gap between my nose and the goggle. so i fly under -20 celcius and there is no prob.
-:jrooth:- RCExplorer: so what distance do you get with the 7W booster?
-:comster:- RCExplorer, thanks for your wonderful videos and very helpful guides. Recently built my tricopter and happy with it. Next step is some video gear.
-:Bruno:- @ RCExplorer: Are there any guides on how to make a Patch antena? On my HK KK board I use the 1.6 tricopter version, do you recommend the 2.5???
-:arch001:- David, I have to tell you that I think the 2.5 tricopter yaw solution looks brilliant. Can't wait to try it.
-:RCExplorer:- jrooth: Keep the googles on your head while setting up so they get warmed up before the flight. Just have them on your forhead, works for me.
-:Klonas:- @anas About how much does a tricopter cost?
-:michael:- First tricopter question. What escs can I use with a high update rate needed for a tri? 4cell 25-30A. Thank you.
-:bob:- the servo comes back to the centre very slow. and sometimes it doesn't centre. it's driven me crazy already.
-:jcansdale:- @RCExplorer: Thanks. Do you use an on screen display with the fatshark RV920? Can you read text at the edges okay?
-:anas:- @bob: I think it is your mount. It looks unstable but I am not sure whether I can say that from just the look. that amplifies the reasonably small jittering.
-:michael:- Thank you. I saw the plush referenced on this website and was my plan so far.
-:West:- Sorry David for repeating…I got lost perhaps. The tie goes to RX side and what would be best on the TX side?
-:michael:- Wait. HK plush. Do you mean the turnigy plush series?
-:RCExplorer:- Comster: Awesome any pics?
-:bob:- @RCExplorer, did u also use the same firmware as mine? maybe i'll just change back to the hk kk board.
-:avzaid:- what about the RC Rx, any suggestions to make it more reliable, for example shall I change the Rx from 6ch to 7ch with satellite module or shall I try the 433MHz RC system ?
-:jrooth:- RCExplorer: you got video to work 40 km?!
-:RCExplorer:- michael: I recommend the Turnigy Plush.
-:Trinom:- David, did you try that 2.5 firmware, or not? Or somebody else? Is it better or worse than 1.6?
-:RCExplorer:- josemiguel: What timing setting do you have on the ECS?
-:Trinom:- anas, and did you have similar problems with gyro gain?
-:michael:- Does anyone have experience with the opensurprise.com frame?
-:tomeparker:- Just wondering what radio band you used in the UK when you were shooting the fireworks?
-:Bruno:- @avzaid : Do you have a link on the "satellite module" you are talking about???
-:te:- Maybe someone has mentioned it already, but are you planning to release any video about your adventure in the UK i.e. the fireworks?
-:arch001:- RCExplorer: How is the LOGO-Comeptition going? How many alternatives have you received?
-:RCExplorer:- te: Not at this point. I'm not allowed to post any of the footage.
-:jogranv:- Is it someone here who would sell me some cloverleaf antennas for my 2.4ghz video system?
-:Bruno:- Does anyone knows how to make a patch antena?
-:West:- You r doin it bra!
-:jrooth:- Does anybody use low pass filters for video link? does it really make any difference?
-:bbmagic:- @jrooth – it helps the video from stomping on the RC link. Use it if you need it!
-:anas:- @David: What do you think my twitching could come from?
-:arch001:- jrooth: I was getting nasty dropouts on 2.4 & 1.3 before I got a lowpassfilter.
-:West:- I'm confused…bowtie is a RX antenna correct?
-:tomeparker:- How do you decide on what low pass filter to get for your system?
-:RCExplorer:- rfnoise: Coming to Arenan i Skövde 3:e mars?
-:luilly3d:- thanks David! , Im following your Y6 build, I'm in to quads right now but thinking abourt cutting one leg and make it a tri or may be a Y6 lol !
-:tomeparker:- I'm planning on a late entry for the logo competition, any advice based on entries to far?
-:West:- got u there now. what TX antenna is used with the bowtie on the ground for video?
-:Exyator1:- @RCExplorer how do you remove copper from 1.5mm PCB that has some tracks on it already?
-:arch001:- Gotta go! Keep up the great work David. Cheers everybody!
-:RCExplorer:- luilly3d: Cool 🙂 Do you have any pics or videos of/from you quad?
-:Trinom:- anas, and what about EPAs? don't you have problems with them?
-:RCExplorer:- Anas: Sounds like the reciever is making troubble, have you tried it separate? Maybe do a range check?
-:Bruno:- Ja agora está aqui algum Portuga???
-:anas:- is there any other possible thing that could be wrong?!
-:tomeparker:- Come to think of it, anyone in the uk want to buy a DX7 + RX?
-:bbmagic:- @anas it sounds like the problem is upstream of the recv since they all have the same problem….. could the power be intermittant?
-:RCExplorer:- Anas: hmmm have you messured the 5V voltage on the board to make sure it's not low?
-:anas:- @ David where to I mesuere the voltage? between the red and black one from the ESC ?!
-:West:- David i got u there now. what TX antenna is used with the bowtie on the ground for video?
-:RCExplorer:- avazaid: Is your transmitter updated to DSMX? That makes a huge differance!
-:RCExplorer:- jrooth: I would love to fly the Duo Discus! Maybe this spring? When the weather is a bit better?
-:bbmagic:- David – I see you have changed CP antennas on your P51 video. Is there a reason? Is OMM antennas working better for you?
-:Alec:- Whats difference in those antennas?
-:RCExplorer:- Yeah, that should be good.
-:Exyator1:- Is hydrochloric acid alone good enough for etching copper from PCB's?
-:bbmagic:- Well then I guess I will head that way. I always am up for a short cut!
-:anas:- I think I´ll just try a reflash of the board to 1,6 so I use the same as you do and check my cables.
-:Exyator1:- @Trinom Thx i'll try!
-:West:- Sorry to repeat again…David i got u there now. what TX antenna is used with the bowtie on the ground for video?
-:Fabianurban:- I have a Problem with my video-googles. They alwasy switch to bluescreen, when they get no Signal ! is there any possibility to make them always show even bad signal ?
-:avzaid:- my transmitter is x9303, it is written on it DSM2, do you think it support DSMX ?
-:West:- David to clear…what two antennae do I use with 2.4ghv for video longe range?

Home In The News My Father Brought Yoruba Civil War To An End- Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi...
My Father Brought Yoruba Civil War To An End- Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi 111
By Bode Durojaiye.
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba [Dr.] Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi 111, has said that his predecessor father, Alaafin Adeyemi 1, brought the Yoruba civil war to an end through a treaty signed between him as Head of the Yoruba, and the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland in 1886.
Oba Adeyemi disclosed this yesterday when the British Deputy High Commissioner in Nigeria, Mr. Ben Lewelyn Jones paid him a courtesy visit in his palace.
He said his father being Head of the Yoruba, the four corners of which are and have been from time immemorial known as Egba, Ketu, Ijebu, and Oyo, embracing within its areas that inhabited by all Yoruba-speaking peoples was desirous of entering into and maintaining forever friendly relations with the subjects of Her Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland.
According to him ''in 1888 my father, the late Alaafin Adeyemi 1, asked the British to come to Yoruba land, and wanted subjects of Her Majesty the Queen to develop resources of the Yoruba by means of legitimate trade and leave under her protection, or who may hereafter come under Her protection, and in gratitude for what the Queen had done for his country at the expense and risk to life from time to time''.
He added that in 1893, his late father in the presence of those who have hereinto subscribed their names as witnesses in the ancient Oyo town, ceded Yoruba land to the British and declared his intention of abiding by the following articles:
'' From henceforth, there should be peace and friendship between her Majesty the Queen and those under her protection, the Alaafin of Oyo and King of the Yoruba and his people, and all other peoples over whom he has authority and influence.
"The subjects of the Queen may always trade freely with the people of Oyo and the Yoruba-speaking countries in every article they may wish to buy and sell, in all towns, rivers, creeks, waters, markets and places within territories known as Yoruba, and I, Alaafin, pledge myself to show no favour and to give no priviledge to the traders or peoples of other countries which I do not give or show to those of the Queen.
"Briitish subjects and others under the Queen's protection are to have the first consideration in all trade transactions with my peoples. No tolls, duties, fees, imposts or charges shall be charged or levied upon the person or property on any British subjects or other person under her Majesty's protection other than and beyond that or those which are customary and reasonable, or may from time to time be agreed upon to be so levied or charged by the Governor of Lagos and myself''.
Since then, Alaafin explained that there had been robust relationship between the Oyo Empire and the British Government with sound communications through correspondences.
Oba Adeyemi asserted that the old Yoruba Empire, known as Oyo Empire distinguished itself in the world, with three very distinctive and unique models.
''First, it evolved a wonderfully developed constitution, though unwritten. The average Yoruba man is governed by strong convention, while the Yorubas evolved a strong military system that allows them to develop weaponry. The Yoruba race, evolved a very practical method of administration, by adopting the cabinet system of governance, adding that a good student of the evolution of British Constitution would know that the cabinet system came about in Britain only as a matter of temporal expedience, it was not by design
''As far back as the 16th Century, the old Oyo Empire developed the cabinet system of government, from the Prime Minister, to the Alaafin, and the various divisional heads, including all tiers have their roles and responsibilities clearly spelt out, and adhered to with separation of powers, and inputs for checks and balances''.
On the relationship between Britain and Oyo, Oba Adeyemi said both countries share certain distinct similarities which include diversity of cultures, history, vitality and dexterity of human management.
"Britain is an Empire with diverse cultures, and in spite of daunting challenges confronting it from the European Union, Britain has been
able to weather the storm and remains strong and vibrant. Today European Union survives at the expense of Great Britain.
Alaafin however solicited the asssistance of the British Government on security management of Nigeria's borders.
He stated that since security of environment becomes more dynamic and uncertain, resonating with numerous threats and contestations which
are transnational in nature and have the potential to grow more lethal as most nations find themselves struggling for survival .
Earlier in his address, the Deputy British High Commissioner, Mr. Jones reiterated the commitment of United Kingdom in strengthening and promoting linkages with Nigeria in the democratization process, bilateral relations, culture and human development.
The visitor, accompanied by his Communication Manager, Wale Adebajo, later presented souvenirs about the Embassy to the paramount ruler.

UCLA Study Reveals Why Bad Things Happen Inside the Brain When We Inhale Pure Oxygen
By Elaine Schmidt | 5/21/2007 5:29:15 PM
It's a scenario straight out of "Grey's Anatomy"— a paramedic or doctor plops a mask over the face of a person struggling to breathe and begins dispensing pure oxygen.
Yet growing research suggests that inhaling straight oxygen can actually harm the brain. For the first time, a new UCLA brain-imaging study reveals why. Published in the May 22 edition of the journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) Medicine, the findings fly in the face of national guidelines for medical practice and recommend a new approach that adds carbon dioxide to the mix to preserve brain function in patients.
"For decades, the medical community has championed 100 percent oxygen as the gold standard for resuscitation. But no one has reported what happens inside our brains when we inhale pure oxygen," said Ronald Harper, distinguished professor of neurobiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "What we discovered adds to a compelling body of evidence for modifying a widely practiced standard of care in the United States."
Harper's team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to capture detailed pictures of what occurs inside the human brain during two different breathing scenarios. The technique detects subtle increases in blood flow triggered by the activation of different parts of the brain, causing these regions to glow or light up on the color scan.
The researchers scanned the brains of 14 healthy children, ages 8 to 15, and monitored their breathing and heart rates as they inhaled 100 percent oxygen through a mouthpiece for two minutes. After waiting eight minutes for the youngsters' breathing to return to normal, the team added 5 percent carbon dioxide to the gas mixture and repeated the scan.
A comparison of the two scans revealed dramatic differences.
"When the children inhaled pure oxygen, their breathing quickened, resulting in the rapid exhalation of carbon dioxide from their bodies," said study co-author Paul Macey, a UCLA associate researcher in neurobiology. "The drop in carbon dioxide narrowed their blood vessels, preventing oxygen from reaching tissue in the brain and heart."
That's when something surprising happened on the MRI scan. Three brain structures suddenly lit up: the hippocampus, which helps control blood pressure; the cingulate cortex, which regulates pain perception and blood pressure; and the insula, which monitors physical and emotional stress.
All this activity awakened the hypothalamus, which regulates heart rate and hormonal outflow. Activation of the hypothalamus triggered a cascade of harmful reactions and released chemicals that can injure the brain and heart over time.
"Several brain areas responded to 100 percent oxygen by kicking the hypothalamus into overdrive," explained Harper. "The hypothalamus overreacted by dumping a massive flood of hormones and neurotransmitters into the bloodstream. These chemicals interfere with the heart's ability to pump blood and deliver oxygen — the opposite effect you want when you're trying to resuscitate someone."
When the children inhaled the carbon dioxide–oxygen mix, the hypothalamus' hyperactivity vanished from the MRI scan.
"Adding carbon dioxide to the oxygen relaxed the blood vessels, allowed oxygen to reach the heart and brain, calmed the hypothalamus and slowed the release of dangerous chemicals," Macey said.
"Pure oxygen kindles the match that fuels a forest fire of harm to the body," Harper said. "But a little whiff of carbon dioxide makes it all go away."
Based on their findings, the researchers strongly encourage health care providers to add carbon dioxide to oxygen dispensation, especially when resuscitating infants or administering oxygen for more than a few minutes. The new direction could hold particular implications for patients of stroke, heart attack, carbon monoxide poisoning and any long-term oxygen therapy.
"When in doubt about a case, the current medical approach is to increase oxygen levels and wait to see if the patient improves," explained Harper. "But no one has ever scanned patients' brains to examine how they respond to oxygen therapy."
Earlier data on high oxygen's harmful effects have already resulted in policy changes overseas. Instead of using straight oxygen, many European hospitals now resuscitate patients with room air, which contains a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide, or with a blend of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Mary Woo, professor at the UCLA School of Nursing, was a co-author of the study, which was supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Development.

very interesting, thank you for sharing.

They have also noticed changes in cells exposed to 100% O2 that is not healthy to the heart. Many years ago we had a near drowning on a beach dive. We pulled the diver from the surf and had him stabilized and breathing on the beach. The Life Guards arrived and administered 100% O2 and he freaked out and went nuts like a seizure! I always felt that they flushed out the CO2 in his system which took away his breathing reflex triggered by CO2. The idea the the brain triggers the sudden rush of adrenaline to help the body try to breath was always my theory! That was 1974! Glad to see we are always looking at the "Tried and true" methods, you never know what might really make a difference! We used to believe "Bleeding" was the best way to get the "Bad Blood" out! Never stop learning!
There was an article about death on a cellular level that basically stated that death is a slow process and that many cells in our bodies live for a long time in our bodies like hibernation. It spoke of O2 waking them up and them dying at a faster rate! If I find it again I will post a link!

I knew that 100% O2 is bad for extended periods of time but after reading that I guess it's bad all together. It still feels great, ever if it's "bad" but there are always much worse things we can do for our body. Now I wonder how long it will take before CO2 is going to be mixed into medical O2 tanks.

Very interesting. What are the implications then where you would normally use 100% as a deco gas? (This is where somebody smart is supposed to chime in)

I was thinking about it, and for the medical there is a very simple fix. Stop using non-rebreater masks (the kind with the resivor bag) and start using rebreater masks which give the patient about 95%O2 instead of the 99-100% with the non-rebreater masks.
I just re-certified my O2 Administrator and we were taught to use re-breather mask from the start! This might be the new thinking!
Well I guess that's good to hear, I just went through an EMT recert and all that most medical agencies (medics, lifeguards, even police who were in the class) used were either non-rebreater or on very rare occasions nasal canuals. I know that's all we carry on our trucks where I work, but maybe with time rebreaters will become move avaible.

In a recent study by the Harvard Medical School, researchers found that disability is more common for people with high blood pressure (HBP) and that regular tasks such as moving objects, walking up and down stairs, and other daily activities are more likely to become difficult as they age. They also found that HBP increases the risk of developing dementia. This research suggests that maintaining a healthy BP through lifestyle, diet, exercise and, if necessary, medication may lead to better physical and brain health in the later years.

Elodie Yung talks about her iconic Marvel character Elektra
elektra Interview
The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Yung about bringing Elektra to life, whether or not she's actually a sociopath like her creator Frank Miller intended her to be and more.
Before you signed on to Daredevil, had you seen the 2005 Elektra movie?
I had not. I had no idea who Elektra was. When the producers asked me before I booked the job, I had to tell them. It was a great surprise when I actually got the job. I did some research before the last round of auditions, and that's when I got really excited because she's such a rich, complex character.
What kind of research?
I read the comics. I got Elektra: Assassin and that's where I learned that she was a tortured soul. She's been through a lot and was possibly psychologically unstable. I learned about the psychology behind Elektra and that excited me. And then I read the Daredevil comics, especially when they met because I wanted to get an understanding of the relationship between Elektra and Matthew. That gave me a lot of elements that I could take and include in the Elektra we were creating for the show. I wanted to respect what was done before as much as possible and capture the essence of all these versions of Elektra.
How did the writers' approach to the character change from what Jennifer Garner did?
I never saw the movie, but it definitely added another layer to the character's history. We're adapting something from one medium to another. The drawing and writing of the comics get transferred and transported to this series, so there will be some changes. I wanted to understand what [Frank] Miller wanted to do and hoped we managed to honor that. The writers and I put our own twist and ideas into it. They wanted her to be more of a sociopath. I had to read and learn what a sociopath is and, though I think she has elements of it, she's not completely a sociopath because Elektra is capable of love. Miller always said Elektra is a villain that has a weak streak in her, and that weak streak is the love she had once for Matthew. That made her more human and less of a monster or sociopath as the writers wanted me to depict her as.
How will your version be different from the comics?
I definitely added layers. This is not the story of Elektra from the comics. We're telling the story of Daredevil. In this aspect, the storylines accentuate the sociopathic tendencies in her. The writers wanted to highlight that Elektra is quite manipulative and doesn't seem to have a conscience. But what will change about her is that yes, we're telling Matt's story and Elektra returning to his life has an impact on his actions, but Matthew will have an impact as well on Elektra. She'll start to question her own actions and she'll change.
When Elektra shows up in Matt's apartment for the first time, the tension between them is palpable. What's their cat-and-mouse relationship like?
Elektra is definitely the cat in this relationship. (Laughs.) They met when they were young, and she thought he was one more guy without any taste. She thought she'd have no interest in him. She's quite bored. But he caught her attention and she was hooked and they fell in love. Their relationship, there's a lot of passion there. They seem to be very different, but maybe deep down, they are quite similar and that's where their bond comes from. She comes across as being the bad girl and he comes across as being the good guy, but maybe they're both somewhere in the middle. Maybe Matthew isn't that good and maybe Elektra isn't that bad. They complete each other.
We learn in episode five how Elektra and Matt met 10 years ago and what happened between them when they broke up. What will viewers see from those flashbacks?
You see that they have something in common and that's why they fell in love. But Elektra thought that they were completely similar, and they were the same person deep down. This is where they clashed. There's a line that Matthew isn't willing to cross because he is different from her. I don't want to say too much, but the moment, the scene in which they separate, will tell a lot about her character. And his too. That's where we'll learn exactly who she is and why Matthew couldn't carry on with this relationship. It's also the reason why she couldn't carry on with this relationship despite the love they had for each other.

Q: Multiple Loop with a SQL Query Function - 2 Minute Interval between Queries Need to loop twice through the query function below loading the results into two seperate variables.  The query function works as expected, but need to have two unique queries stored in the two temp tables.
How should I create these temporary tables that allow me to reference them as $1_resultsDataTable and $2_resultsDataTable?  I will use these two tables to do a compare-object once I can successfully populate these TempTables.
[string] $Server= "ServerName"
[string] $Database = "mvTest"
[string] $UserSqlQuery= $("select statement")
#Check Twice the database for Device Errors
$Tables = @($1_resultsDataTable,$2_resultsDataTable)
foreach ($resultsDataTable in $Tables) {
$resultsDataTable = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
$resultsDataTable = ExecuteSqlQuery $Server $Database $UserSqlQuery
Start-Sleep 5
}

# declaration not necessary, but good practice
#$resultsDataTable = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
#$resultsDataTable = ExecuteSqlQuery $Server $Database $UserSqlQuery

# executes a query and populates the $datatable with the data
function ExecuteSqlQuery ($Server, $Database, $SQLQuery) {
    $Datatable = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
    $Connection = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLConnection
    $Connection.ConnectionString = "server='$Server';database='$Database';Integrated Security=True;"
    $Connection.Open()
    $Command = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLCommand
    $Command.Connection = $Connection
    $Command.CommandText = $SQLQuery
    $Reader = $Command.ExecuteReader()
If ($Reader.HasRows) {

  while($Reader.Read()) {
        $props = @{}
        for($i = 0; $i -lt $Reader.FieldCount; $i+=1) {
            $name = $Reader.GetName($i)
            $value = $Reader.item($i)
            $props.Add($name, $value)
        }
        $obj = new-object PSObject -Property $props
        Write-Output $obj
      }
   }
     return $obj
$SqlConnection.Close()

}

A: Not sure why you would specifically need to use named variables instead of just assigning to an array, but you could just list both variables to be assigned to the output of your loop and then loops twice.
$1_resultsDataTable, $2_resultsDataTable = foreach ($x in 1..2) {
    $resultsDataTable = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
    $resultsDataTable = ExecuteSqlQuery $Server $Database $UserSqlQuery
    $resultsDataTable # first loop sends output to $1_resultsDataTable, second loop send to $2_resultsDataTable
    Start-Sleep 5
}

You could still do compare without named variables using an array instead
$bothTables = foreach ($x in 1..2) {
    $resultsDataTable = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
    $resultsDataTable = ExecuteSqlQuery $Server $Database $UserSqlQuery
    $resultsDataTable # first loop sends output to $1_resultsDataTable, second loop send to $2_resultsDataTable
    Start-Sleep 5
}

Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $bothTables[0] -DifferenceObject $bothTables[1]

PORT-AU-PRINCE, April 12 (Reuters) - Haiti's government fell on Saturday when senators fired the prime minister after more than a week of riots over food prices, ignoring a plan presented by the president to slash the cost of rice.
Sixteen of 17 senators at a special session voted against Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis, an ally President Rene Preval placed at the head of a coalition cabinet in June 2006 that was meant to unite the fractious Caribbean nation.
The move by opposition senators was seen as a serious but not crushing blow to Preval, whose 2006 election brought a measure of calm to the poorest country in the Americas as it searched for political stability after decades of dictatorship, military rule and economic mayhem.
The clash with senators came after the president of the country of 9 million people -- most of whom earn less than $2 a day -- managed to persuade rioters to end a week of violence in which at least five people were killed.
Stone-throwing crowds began battling U.N. peacekeepers and Haitian police in the south on April 2, enraged at the soaring cost of rice, beans, cooking oil and other staples.
The unrest spread this week to the capital, Port-au-Prince, bringing the sprawling and chaotic city to a halt as mobs took over the streets, smashing windows, looting shops, setting fire to cars and hurling rocks at motorists.
U.N. troops, stationed in Haiti since Jean-Bertrand Aristide was ousted as president in a revolt in 2004, fired tear gas and rubber bullets on several occasions to disperse protesters.
On Saturday a Nigerian U.N. peacekeeper was shot to death near the main Catholic cathedral in downtown Port-au-Prince, close to the large and often violent slum of Bel-Air, a Haitian police officer and U.N. commander said.
The circumstances of the shooting were unclear and the city appeared largely tranquil. Three Sri Lankan peacekeepers were struck by bullets on Thursday but were not seriously injured.
"Now it's my turn to play," Preval said when he was told by journalists of the Senate vote shortly after he and private sector leaders unveiled a plan to cut the cost of a sack of rice to $43 from $51.
Three dollars of the price cut would be paid for by businesses and the rest by international donors, he said.
Preval said he would ask parliament to pick a new prime minister. Alexis was seen as a pragmatist and dealmaker, and also served as prime minister during Preval's first term as president from 1996 to 2001.
Many Haitians seemed to welcome the ouster of Alexis.
"When he was prime minister, he did nothing to lower the high cost of living. I hope things will change with a new prime minister," said Jean Pierre Jean-Baptiste, 29, an electrician.
Sen. Youri Latortue, a nephew of a former prime minister and leader of Saturday's vote, said Alexis had failed to ramp up food production, protect people against crime, heed calls to establish a new national security force and set a deadline for the U.N. troops to leave.
Disturbances over high food prices have broken out in several poor countries, primarily in Africa. Record oil prices, rising demand for food in Asia, the use of farmland and crops for biofuels and other factors such as market speculation have pushed up food prices worldwide.
"The situation is difficult everywhere around the world, everyone has to make a sacrifice," Preval said on Saturday as he announced the plan to cut rice prices in a room adorned with crystal chandeliers and thick drapes at the National Palace.
Preval reiterated that Haiti could not afford to cut taxes on food because it needed the revenue to pay for longer-term projects that create jobs and boost agriculture.
It was unclear whether the price cut would satisfy protesters.

Just as I was about to reach out for ANYTHING to eat to let time pass quicker. Thank you so much. True. I feel that I am trapped and it is scary to feel that. Breathing at the moment and about to get some water. Thank you for the insight.
I haven't worked in an office in years except temp jobs. I don't miss it. I use to go for a long walk during lunch time when I was "good". But then I got bored not only with the office routine, but constantly monitoring myself and my calories, that I gave in to indulging in the office goodies that people bring and going out to lunch, etc. I gained 5-10 lbs. and quit before I gained 20-30+ lbs.
Once someone brought in a decadent looking home-made chocolate cake and put it right near my desk. This was when I was in my "good" phase. I resisted all day because I was afraid it would get me going way off the track………To this day, I think about that chocolate cake and think I should have gone for it. Life is too short to pass up chocolate cake ever…………….
Offices are evil, depressing environments alot of the time.
I also love the comment that just because we live in an insane culture doesn't mean we have to be insane also. When I went to college I was very in control of my diet and calories while living in the dorm. The average girl was 5-10 lbs. overweight but constantly going out for fast food, ordering pizza, doing some food binge……After a semester,I was tired/bored with being in such control and thought it was more fun to be like them. Afterall, even though they thought they were 5 lbs overweight I thought they still looked cute and good. So I decided to join the ranks. Well, it's hard to let go..a little bit…..after keeping tight reins on yourself for a long time. In no time I gained 20-30 lbs which lead to a cycle ot yo-yo dieting the rest of my college life. I started out at 107 lbs and graduated at 162 lbs.
Looking back I should have accepted that I was on the right path, maybe alone, but on the right path regardless. Perhaps, just allowed myself to indulge once a week or something. I still don't know the answer to that. At 58 I'm still the "good" one who is always skinny and watching her weight. My relatives are overweight but seemingly happy and have fun going out to eat alot and going the whole nine yards. They are fat, married and happy. I am single, thin, healthy (PG) and complacent alone.
It's very telling about our work culture that when I searched, "how do I explain to my colleagues that I don't work through lunch," the top results were things like, "tips for dealing with lazy co-workers." People boast – and I've done it, too – about always eating at their desks or never taking lunch breaks. That's code for "I'm hard-working/dedicated/important." I get that sometimes it's unavoidable (e.g., gathering for a big team meeting where they bring in sandwiches or whatever). What Geneen describes is exactly what happens. I'm not engaging fully in eating or in the work at hand. "Just because we live in an insane culture doesn't mean we have to be insane, too…" This is brilliant. I'll save and remember this. This may be my counterargument if someone pushes back on my desire to take a proper break.


My sister, a former social worker, recommended that I apply for Social Security disability benefits as soon as possible after diagnosis. It would never have occurred to me, and it sounded complicated.
As it turns out, though, if you have Stage IV lung cancer and have a work history, you probably qualify for disability. The government may even fast-track your application to make sure you start receiving cash assistance as soon as possible.
You can fill out most of the application online. There is a lot of paperwork to gather up. Once you have finished the application and gathered most of the documentation, there is an in-person interview at your local Social Security Administration office. Following the interview, the government investigates your claim by contacting doctors who have treated you.
I applied in March 2013 and started receiving benefits that July. By "benefits" I mean money, directly deposited into my bank account. Not only do I receive benefits, but my daughter, as the dependent child of a disabled adult, receives benefits, too – and her benefits will continue after my death. I have no life insurance because I never got around to buying any when I was healthy, so this will be huge for her when I am no longer here to help support her financially.
The kicker: Social Security pays disability benefits "…if you have worked long enough and have a medical condition that has prevented you from working or is expected to prevent you from working for at least 12 months or end in death." (Emphasis added.) Stage IV people, we qualify under the "or end in death" clause. For me, applying for disability and receiving it was as much a confrontation with my mortality as my consultation with the surgeon.
Lung cancer is considered under the compassionate allowances (the end in death clause): http://www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances/. NSLC is considered when it's metastasized beyond the hilar nodes or is inoperable, unresectable, or recurrent. Small cell is automatically considered. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you for doing that. Not only will it help you as you live in this difficult situation, but as you noted, it helps your daughter. I have two siblings (11 and 17) who receive benefits after my mother deceased, and it has made life so much easier for their caregivers. It is so hard to think of all the things that are necessary to make sure your loved ones are taken care of when you're gone. I commend the efforts you are making.

One for the admin, as I can't seem to PM directly just yet. I sent my license code in using the contact page on transtrbo.com but had nothing back in a week, and could really do with getting a license code by tomorrow so we can try it out at a major event with our team. Any chance this could be looked into? Looking forward to trying it in anger!
FYI: I need to know of your Volunteer Group and have some form of proof that you represent them - additionally the web site has pictures of NON Land Rovers and I personally only issue licenses to Land Rover owners!
In the photo's I notice what looks like a Series IIA and maybe a County or Defender - so they're OK - but what do you drive?
I have a 110USW 2008 plate in Black, although you'll see pictures of a silver freelander that used to be mine and now is our vice chairmans. I would send you a copy of my ID but am on site with limited access. Will try via email.
So on the licensing thing, I had to change radios and now the program is asking me to re register the program. Any help in getting back to a workable program? I have my info for the new mobile if that helps. I had a copy for our ARES group up here.
you will have to email the new radio info to Will for a new key for the program.
Thanks Ivan - that is correct!

If you grew up after the 1970s, you have probably never heard of Paul Lynde. Remembered by many as the center square on Hollywood Squares throughout the 70s, Paul Lynde was a character actor that essentially played the same personality in every role. He was known for his trademark sarcastic manner, often a quick insult delivered through his teeth with a head waggle. Think Roger from American Dad is original? His personality and mannerisms are heavily inspired from Paul Lynde.
He was a prolific guest star in TV shows throughout the 60s and 70s. He was known as a stylish 'confirmed bachelor,' so naturally when producers gave him his own show he was cast as straight-laced Paul Simms, attorney, husband, father.
One day Howie, a shaggy-haired, blue-jeans wearing college student moves in-and hilarity ensues! Well, in reality, the show is remembered as mediocre at best and would often end up with someone falling in the pool.
