Introducing asciidoc-admonition-icons, a GitBook plugin to restore font icons for AsciiDoc admonition blocks.

I’ve been working hard on the apiman 1.3.x documentation.
One nice feature of AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor are admonition blocks; allowing visually clear and categorised emphasis for the important points.

However, at the time of writing this blog, the GitBook AsciiDoc 3.x.x rendering pipeline does not support icons for admonition blocks, providing an inconspicuous, text-only representation:

There are some PRs and GitHub issues with people trying to get this fixed, but none of them has been merged, so I really wanted to provide an interim solution that would still work on the gitbook.com hosted platform.

Plugin to the rescue.

The solution was to create a simple plugin, asciidoc-admonition-icons [1], that identifies admonition blocks and rewrites the label element to contain the missing glyphs:

The default styling provides a similar look-and-feel to the Asciidoctor’s standard theme; with FontAwesome icons and a comparable colour scheme.
Naturally, you can override both the glyphs and styling.

This should hopefully provide a satisfactory workaround until the GitBook team resolve the issue properly in their codebase.

If you have any problems, please feel free to file an issue.

Installation & Configuration

In your book.json, put asciidoc-admonition-icons in your plugins array

{
	"plugins": ["asciidoc-admonition-icons"],
}

Provide your overrides in pluginsConfig.admonitions:

The 5 standard AsciiDoc admonition types are available:

classes: CSS classes of the admonition icon container.

title: HTML title attribute of admonition icon container.

content: Unicode value of glyph to use.

The entire set of defaults are shown here for illustrative purposes, but you need only provide those you’re overriding:

Example book.json configuration:

"pluginsConfig": {
    "admonitions": {
        "note": {
            "classes": "fa icon-note",
            "title": "Note",
            "content": "\uf05a"
        },
        "tip": {
            "classes": "fa icon-tip",
            "title": "Tip",
            "content": "\uf0eb"
        },
        "important": {
            "classes": "fa icon-important",
            "title": "Important",
            "content": "\uf06a"
        },
        "caution": {
            "classes": "fa icon-caution",
            "title": "Caution",
            "content": "\uf06d"
        },
        "warning": {
            "classes": "fa icon-warning",
            "title": "Warning",
            "content": "\uf071"
        }
    }
}

For example, if we were to override the important icon with another glyph:

"important": {
	"classes": "fa icon-important",
    "title": "La bañera es muy importante!",
    "content": "\uf2cd"
}

Check out the plugin’s GitBook plugin page, GitHub repo or NPM readme for detailed instructions.

Despite being simple code, quite interesting customisations are possible using a combination of configuration options and CSS. I might add some more sophisticated examples in a future blog post (refer to the docs for some simple ones).

1. Full NPM package name is: gitbook-plugin-asciidoc-admonition-icons

An unusual and fascinating colour to be found in a tube of oil paint.
It is a mid-tone warmish grey, the main benefit of this over a palette mixed grey is that it will be cleaner, and I can see it being useful in taking down the chroma a notch in skin tones and similarly with horizons in landscapes. Potentially it could be used a neutral priming ground.
It has greenish undertones, darker in value than unbleached titanium.


A modern paisley print artfully pops on this sheath Maggy London dress lending elegant femininity. Wear this dress from seaside escape to night on the town. Pair it with delicate metallic jewellery.
Machine wash in cold water at delicate cycle. Use non-chlorine bleach when needed. Lay flat to dry and reshape while still wet. Iron at low setting if needed. Exclusive of trim.


We are sad that we don't have a booth in this fabulous shopping event, but we think that it's still going to be fierce for us Erzulliestas to shop by. Why? Check out what we have gathered so far!
If there is one thing that we know that you love ladies, it's shoes as fierce as your Erzullie wardrobe! From what we have gathered from the posts these top Metro Manila Shoe lines will be there (even more).
Erzulliesta Sol, owner of Digital Traincase, will be there to get your make up fix satisfied! Our good friend, Chedelyn, will be there too!
No need for explanation. If there is one thing that this brand and us have in common, it's you ladies! Her durable, fashionable bags will be there.
Seriously --- this you have to see! They have this whole new look and a DIY bikini lab! I know some Erzulliestas have bought from there so you ladies may want to check it out.
Some Erzulliestas that we have styled know that we pull out from this accessory store. If you want great finds and variety for accessories, Mia Casa has it!
Hope to see you there ladies and dress fierce! I will be going there with some of our fashion sisters on Saturday to browse and shop. Tweet us if you are there!
PLUS SIZE OPINION: TO QUIT OR BE QUIET?


I say this because I know from personal experience that it is true. Let not men think that God is a God who wants the worship of men with the mere intellectual faculties - that is not true. His Love is the one thing that can possibly unite Him and them.
This Love is not the love that is a part of man's natural existence; the love that men have, who have not received a part of the Divine Love, is not sufficient to make them one with the Father. Nor is that love the kind that will enable them to enter the Celestial Spheres and become as the angels, who are filled with this Divine Love and who always do the Will of the Father. This Love is found only in the souls of those who have received It through the ministrations of the Holy Spirit - the only instrument of God's workings that is used in bringing about the salvation of men.
I am so certain that all men may receive this Love, if they will only seek for It in the true Way, and with earnest desire and faith, that I know it is possible for all men to be saved. But men have the great gift of free will, and the exercise of that gift towards the seeking and finding of this Love seems to be a difficulty, that will prevent a large majority of the human race from receiving this great redemptive boon.
My Father is not desirous that any man should live through all eternity without this Love. But the time will come, and very soon, when the privilege of obtaining this Love will be withdrawn from mankind; when that great event takes place, never afterwards will the privilege be restored; and men who are then without it, will be compelled to live through all eternity with only their natural love to comfort them, and get whatever happiness they may be able to obtain from such love. Men may think that this time of separation will never come, but in that they are mistaken and, when too late, they will realize it.
The harmony of my Father's universe is not dependent upon all men receiving this Divine Love because, in the workings of God's laws of harmony on men's souls, all sin and error will be eradicated, and only truth will remain. But the mere absence of sin does not mean that all parts of God's creation will be peopled by spirits and men who are equally happy, or who are filled with the same kind of love. The man who is free from sin and has only his natural Love, will be in perfect harmony with other men possessing the same kind of love. But he will not be in harmony with those spirits who have this Divine Love, and the supreme happiness which it gives. And yet such differences in love and happiness will not create discord or want of harmony in the universe.
Adam and Eve had not this Celestial Love, only the natural love that belonged to their creation as human beings, and yet they were comparatively happy. But their happiness was not like that of the angels who live in the Celestial Heavens, where only this Divine Love of God exists. They were mortals, and when temptation came to them, the love that they possessed was not able to resist it, and they succumbed.
So even though man may hereafter live forever and be free from sin and error, yet he will always be subject to temptations which this natural love may not be able to resist. I mean that his nature will be merely the nature that Adam and Eve had - nothing greater or less.
Even in that condition, he may be able to resist all temptations that may assail him; yet he will always be subject to fall from his state of happiness, and so become more or less unhappy. This is the future of men who have not received the Divine Love. But the spirit who has this Divine Love becomes, as it were, a part of Divinity Itself, and will never be subject to temptation or unhappiness. He will be free from all powers that may possibly exist for leading him to unhappiness - as if he were a very god. I mean that his Divinity cannot possibly be taken from him by any power or influence, or instrumentality in all the universe of God. This Love makes a mortal and sinful man an immortal and sinless spirit, destined to live through all eternity in the presence of, and at-one with, the Father.
So, if men would only think and realize the importance of obtaining this Divine Love, they would not be so careless in their thoughts and aspirations, concerning those things which will determine their future state through all eternity. The importance of these Truths cannot be too forcibly placed before men for their consideration. When the time comes for them to pass over, the more they have pondered on and obtained a knowledge of these truths, the better their condition in the spirit world will be.
The spirit world will not help them so very much to obtain a more enlightened insight into these spiritual matters, because men differ and have their opinions in this world just as on earth. Of course they have not all the temptations to indulge their passions and appetites which they had when in the flesh. But as regards their opinion of spiritual things, the opportunities are not very much greater, except in this: that because of the freedom from the passions and influences of the flesh, they may sooner turn their thoughts to higher things, and in this way, sooner realize that only this New Birth in the Love of the Divine, can save them entirely from the natural results that follow from the possession of only the natural love.


CBOE has withdrawn its application to list to Van Eck SolidX Bitcoin ETF on its exchange. According to a document that was published by the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday that they have indeed withdrawn their application to list physically backed bitcoin ETF.
CBOE is one of the homes of bitcoin futures contracts. CBOE chief came out and said that he sees the lack of traditional market-tracking index and futures contracts that most Wall Street investors use to hedge their bets as a limiting factor in the crypto market. Regulation is demanded by many companies and players before getting into crypto. He goes on to say that they have two regulators that are not taking calls right now, it doesn't mean there is nothing they are interested in, it means that nothing is going to happen in this government shutdown.
Bitcoin futures contracts are not supremely popular actually. The CBOE only has 3475 contracts in open interest compared to 5038 back in January 2018. When we look at these versus the figures of CBOE's volatility index of 370,000 contracts and bitcoin equals only 1% of the total trading activity compared to CBOE's most traded product. This is something to keep in mind when we talk about futures contracts and how they are moving the markets back and forth.
Back late last year, we saw 9 different Bitcoin ETF being declined by the SEC including very high offerings from Gemini and SolidX. Regulators came out and said that there is a lack of control over the crypto markets and this has been the primary concern of the authorities in basically letting any of these applications go through but they are still trying. Even though the CBOE has removed their application to list a certain Bitcoin ETF, that is not the end of things by any means.
The Winklevoss twins from Gemini are still trying. Recently they said that they are committed as ever to making a Bitcoin ETF a reality. They said that bitcoin is a better asset than gold. They said that bitcoin is being better at being gold than gold and if they are right then over time the market cap of bitcoin will surpass the 7 trillion market cap of gold. The Winklevoss twins have been big believers in bitcoin for a long time.
Bitwise has submitted another Bitcoin ETF filing to the United States SEC. This is probably a terrible time to put the submission in as it could sit on the desk somewhere for months due to the government shutdown. Bitwise's previous Bitcoin ETF filing was among those that were rejected by the SEC back in 2018.
The Global Research Cheif of Bitwise has said that the SEC has asked thoughtful and relevant questions of the quality of the crypto trading ecosystem, the liability of crypto pricing, the strength of the arbitrary function in crypto and the robustness of crypto custody. According to him, they have spent the past year researching these questions and look forward to discussing those findings with the SEC staff in connection with the filing and listing application. A key difference with their new filing versus their previous filing is that it uses a third party custody service. He also that while there can be no assurance that the 19B4 application will be granted or the SEC will ultimately accelerate the registration statement, they are optimistic that 2019 should be the year that a Bitcoin ETF launches.
Bakkt is still not giving up on their bitcoin dreams by any means. They are going to be launching a cryptocurrency exchange, a payment processor and their futures contracts which may be approved by the CFTC which are just one small element. If Bakkt launches a Bitcoin ETF it may be approved by the SEC. A lot of what Bakkt wants to do needs approval and its really unfortunate that we are seeing this government shut down happening and it means that the approval is not forthcoming.
While all of this dysfunction continues, its actually a very great time to buy bitcoin at cheap prices because if tomorrow a Bitcoin ETF is approved that is going to affect the price of bitcoin to a great extent.

Q: Status of the discovery of non-abelian anyons and topological quantum computation? This week Microsoft announced that it will make available the programming language for quantum computer available by the end of this (2017) year. https://news.microsoft.com/features/new-microsoft-breakthroughs-general-purpose-quantum-computing-moves-closer-reality/
It is not secret that Microsoft is commited to topological quantum computation with anyons but as anyone can read in wiki then anyons have not been detected up to now and there is only hint of detection in one 2013 article.
What is the status of anyon discovery and manipulation? Are there ideas for succesfull experiments that are not attacked and what are the obstacles? I guess resources are not obstacles for Microsoft.
From the one side Google gives only cited 2013 result and some oldest papers. But from he other side - there should be discoveries if Microsoft is making bold steps for opening quantum computation facilities available.

US Open-mesterskabet i herredouble 2021 var den 141. turnering om US Open-mesterskabet i herredouble. Turneringen var en del af US Open 2021 og blev spillet i USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center i New York City, USA i perioden 1. - 10. september 2021 med deltagelse af 64 par.

Mesterskabet blev vundet af Rajeev Ram og Joe Salisbury, som dermed vandt US Open-mesterskabet i herredouble for første gang. I finalen vandt den fjerdeseedede amerikansk-britiske duo med 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 over Jamie Murray og Bruno Soares, der var seedet som nr. 7. Både Ram og Salisbury vandt dermed deres anden grand slam-titel i herredouble, efter at de havde vundet deres første titel ved Australian Open 2020. For Rajeev Ram var sejren den fjerde grand slam-titel i hans karriere, eftersom han tidligere også havde vundet to mixed double-titler. Joe Salisbury havde én grand slam-titel i mixed double på cv'et, så for ham var det karrierens tredje grand slam-titel.

Mate Pavić og Bruno Soares var forsvarende mestre men deltog i dette mesterskab med nye makkere. Pavić stillede op med Nikola Mektić som makker men tabte i første runde til det amerikanske wildcard-par Nathaniel Lammons og Jackson Withrow. Soares dannede par med Jamie Murray og tabte som nævnt i finalen.

Pengepræmier og ranglistepoint

Den samlede præmiesum til spillerne i herredouble androg $ 3.306.000 (ekskl. per diem), hvilket var en stigning på 54,2 % i forhold til året før, hvor turneringen til gengæld kun havde haft deltagelse af 32 par.

The Red Cross, which has operated in Rarotonga for many years, was born out of the simple, but vital, humanitarian idea of helping those wounded in battle, The founder, Henri Dunant, was deeply moved by the suffering he encountered on and around a battlefield in 1859.
By 1863, the first Red Cross organisation was established in Switzerland as a Swiss organisation, but open for membership from other countries. The organisation's focus was in war zones. However, after World War One – which people of that time called "the war to end all wars" - the organisation broadened its focus to become engaged in humanitarian relief in natural disaster.
Today the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, has three components, all providing humanitarian services - the International Committee of the Red Cross. This remains a Swiss public company with a focus on war, and has mandates under the Geneva Conventions to work in war zones around the world. The Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies of individual countries all around the world.
These work both in the area of conflict and the area of natural and man-made disaster; the National Societies enjoy the support and assistance of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent's Societies (IFRC) whose focus is on disaster, rather than war.
The Cook Islands Red Cross Society, is a member of the IFRC, which was initially established in 1989 as an incorporated society. In 2002, the National Society was formally established by an Act of Parliament – "The Cook Islands Red Cross Act 2002" – as an auxiliary organisation to the public authorities in humanitarian services.

Today, the National Society has several branches across the outer islands and Rarotonga, and has its headquarters in Tupapa. The National Society engages in a variety of programmes – First Aid, Disaster Management, International Humanitarian Law, Blood Donor Recruitment, Community Based Health, Youth and recently the Covid-19.
This year's World Red Cross Day's theme is 'We are all Humankind', believe in the power of kindness.
"The past months have been marked by multiple crises that have spared no-one and have hit the most vulnerable the hardest - from COVID-19 pandemic, to the climate crisis, humanitarian emergencies and escalating conflicts. In this complex time we need more than ever to ground ourselves and return to the root and meaning of our founding humanitarian principle of humanity," says Fine Tu'itupou-Arnold, the Secretary General at Cook Islands Red Cross Society.
"This is why for this year's World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, we would like to celebrate acts of kindness, whether small or big, that can make a huge difference in people's lives."
Over the past two years, the National Society has focused its operations in supporting the Ministry of Health in Covid-19 response. It has supported the Ministry and the Puna in the areas of contact tracing, vaccination, distribution of welfare packs for people in isolation and in general communications. At the same time it has continued its ongoing activities in other areas, including First Aid training, disaster management and blood donor recruitment and will continue to do so into the future.
To celebrate World Red Cross Day this year, the CIRC is offering for a limited period, free CPR and AED trainings to anyone.
Registration for this training is open now and will close on Wednesday May 11. Contact Rose Winters on 77598 or wrose@redcross.org.ck for your registration.

One security guard found out that Nicki Minaj is not the one to be slacking on.
Nicki Minaj was not feeling it when she spotted one of her security guards looking at his phone while she was on stage.
The lady lyricist broke out of performance mode for a just moment to get a member of her security detail together. During a break in "Feelin' Myself," Nicki stomped over to a guard that was more focused on his phone than his job. She promptly confiscated his device and tossed it across stage; she then hopped right back into the song without missing a beat.
In the video below, you can actually see the second she thought "oh, not today!" before taking care of the situation.
#PressPlay : #OOP ! #NickiMinaj clearly wasn't playing any games with her security. He was on the phone and she took it and threw it!
Nicki does not have time to mess with security guards that aren't focused on their job. To be fair, he's there to do a job where he needs to keep a sharp eye out, and he can't do that if he's paying more attention to his phone than what's going on around him.

Is IOTA's Shimmer of Hope Yet Another False Promise?
Is IOTA's Shimmer of hope another false promise?
IOTA announced the Shimmer network on November 21, 2021 … again. And again, it made great fanfare for the launch of something that is nothing. Let's recap and rewind for two main reasons; one: for many years, IOTA claimed their ternary-based network was far better than blockchain, even in terms of security; two: Shimmer was one of the many promises of 2018, 2019, and still today. It continues being just that, a promise, because it does not yet exist.
In IOTA's own words: "The Shimmer network will be (not is) the official, incentivized staging network of IOTA. It will be an essential part of IOTA's path to increased utility, ecosystem growth and full decentralization. Shimmer will help to publicly validate every major upcoming upgrade before they reach the IOTA network."
That means there is nothing yet, except for this roadmap with no specific dates for the launch or release of anything it mentions.
And, with the new Shimmer announcement came the shimmering promise of smart contracts and staking that can only exist on the blockchain, which would render the current IOTA Tangle network more useless than it already is.
But, the Shimmer announcement is the same one they made three years ago, according to a post by Masterthematrix on Steemit and Ecency. This is what he said back then: "IOTA just announced its new consensus mechanism – Shimmer. Could this be superior to Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake?"
That, of course, is the title. This is the first paragraph: "Yesterday, IOTA announced their new solution (Shimmer) to replace the centralized Coordinator, which has controlled the network to prevent double-spending and other forms of abuse in the network."
On May 28, 2019, an IOTA YouTube video announced Coordicide and Shimmer again and explained how the Berlin-based startup would be fully decentralized. A lot of production went into the video that announced how it would enable billions of machines to transact data without fees.
On March 8, 2021, Charles Hoskinson, the Ethereum Co-Founder and Founder of Cardano, contradicted IOTA's fee-free claim saying they do have fees in a YouTube video. "They are just subsidized in a different way. Guys, there's network capacity, CPU and data, and it costs money. Nothing is free," he said smiling. He goes on to explain that a network requires storage and that storage costs something.
Coinsider (115k subscriber) host 'Kevin' in a video with over 15,000 views, explains he decided to give up on IOTA after a series of broken promises. On 5 April 2021, Kevin said that after four years with IOTA, he has not seen anything but one disappointment after the other. "After one hard look, I decided it was not worth it anymore because the negatives far outweighed the positives."
Kevin was initially a big IOTA fan, with dozens of videos favoring the project. He spoke profusely about JINN, and how that device would revolutionize smart devices enabling their communication with IOTA's Tangle ternary network and binary systems, the ones all other tech systems use worldwide. IOTA first announced JINN in 2014, and after years of mystery, it "was announced dead."
The new IOTA Shimmer announcement comes with the release of an NFT staking element that has been criticized heavily. Siccors says it is a horrible idea because the IOTA Foundation "is going to sell special NFTs which give some people more rights than others on the new network."
Reddit user Alive Opportunity708 said, "there are many reasons why this distribution is not fair. This distribution divides investors into good and bad. For those who participate in staking, and those who do not. All investors must be equal, everyone has invested their money in IOTA, everyone should get SMR (the Shimmer token that for now has no value)." He also said it simply makes the "rich even richer."
The Microsoft publicity stunt to increase the price of IOTA? Could that be true? Well, the fact is IOTA was sketchy about their false partnership with Microsoft in November 2017. The price rose by over 600%. Not until December 12, 2017, IOTA finally "angrily" admitted it had not actually partnered with Microsoft.
However, they rode the false statement to fame. On December 6, 2017, CNBC covered the story in an article entitled "A little-known digital currency surges 90% after teaming up with firms like Microsoft."
More recently, on Itsblockchain.com an author wrote about JINN, the microprocessor that many believed Bosh would manufacture. "This ('partnership') is still a rumour, and nothing has been confirmed as of the time of writing," it adds.
IOTA founding members continuously boasted how secure Tangle was. In a February 12, 2016 interview with Chain of Things, the IOTA Founder and CEO, David Sonstebo said, "the importance of security in IoT cannot be overstated." Additionally, he said, "it is quite daunting to think of the repercussions of failing to take security into account while engineering the technology that this ever-growing ecosystem emerges from."
In January 2018, IOTA got hacked for the first time. And, although the IOTA Foundation claims to have recovered nearly 99% of the $11 million stolen and the culprit jailed with the support of a European enforcement agency, the team apparently did not learn their lesson.
In February 2020, IOTA shut down its entire network for nearly 3 weeks after hackers exploited another vulnerability stealing $2 million worth in IOTA tokens.
On December 20, 2017, Joi Ito, the MIT Media Lab Director, spoke of a gaping hole in IOTA's software his MIT Digital Currency Initiative colleagues had found. "And while that flaw has now been patched, we certainly disagree with … the assertion that IOTA is 'secure'." Moreover, Ito says, "IOTA's relationships with top-tier companies continue to be nebulous."
"Whether or not IOTA's ledger is 'tamper-proof', the entire IOTA network went down in November and was completely inoperable for about three days. That this has never happened in Bitcoin or Ethereum suggests the extent to which the IOTA network relies on the 'coordinator', a single point of failure, and is not truly decentralized," wrote Ito.
"Also troubling, IOTA developers were able to transfer funds out of users' IOTA accounts. The user was then required to participate in a 'reclaim' process to request their funds. We believe IOTA's developers should not have access to such funds; it's rife with risk," he added.
The list of broken promises and undelivered releases is long, and space for this article is limited. But, it was impossible to end this story without mentioning an article that speaks, among other things, about how "by 2019, They will question and threaten security experts if it doesn't align with their world vision, such as Open Privacy Founder, Sarah Jamie Lewis, who found flaws in IOTA research and faced backlash when she zeroed in on issues that IOTA Tangle has faced."
I just received this DM from an iota-focused outlet (@tangleblog) threatening to "write an article about me & my deeds" intended to compromise my job & professional relationships (oh no!) unless I address questions about iota "in an open and scientific way"
So let's science… pic.twitter.com/JrcSoYtvBC
— Sarah Jamie Lewis (@SarahJamieLewis) August 13, 2019
After nearly seven years of promising decentralization and other key features and three to four years of significant developments with global corporations, IOTA has nothing to show other than a roadmap with no deadlines and a false shimmer of hope that they may soon finally have smart contracts.

The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's rotational axis. As the earth orbits the sun, its axis is tilted 23 ½ degrees from perpendicular to its orbit. And it stays tilted the same direction all the time, as shown in the diagram below.
Looking at the above diagram,when the earth is the position labeled June, you can see that the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. As a result the sun rises in the northeast and sets in the northwest. It therefore follows a very high path across the sky. At noon, the sun is highest in the sky for the day. In June, in the United States, its noon altitude is around 80 degrees.
When the sun is high in the sky like this, we get a lot of heat from it. Also at this time of year the daylight period is about 15 hours, whereas the nighttime period is only about 9 hours. So we have a long day to soak up heat from the sun, but a short night to lose the heat back into space. As a result, we gain more heat than we lose, so it's hot in June and the other summer months.
On the other hand, when the earth is in the position labeled December in the above diagram, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. Now the sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest. It also follows a low path across the sky. At noon, in the United Stares, its noon altitude is around 30 degrees.
When the sun is low in the sky like this, we don't get a lot of heat from it. Also at this time of year the daylight period is only about 9 hours, whereas the nighttime period is about 15 hours. So we have a short day to soak up heat from the sun, but a long night to lose the heat back into space. As a result, we lose more heat than we gain, so it's cold in December and the other winter months.
The date when the sun is highest in the sky for us is called the June Solstice. This occurs about the 21st of the month. This is also considered the first day of summer. The date when the sun is lowest in the sky for the year is called the December Solstice. This also occurs about the 21st of the month.
Incidentally, the sun never passes directly overhead any state except Hawaii.
Looking back at the diagram, notice that in June the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, so it's winter in June in Australia and South America. In December the Southern Hemisphere is titled toward the sun, so it's summer in December in those places.

Q: How to justify and center text in bash? Newbie here. I'm looking for bash script to center and justify text. My script only works with one line of text. How would you improve it?
#!/bin/bash
COLS=$(tput cols)
while true; do
    clear
    echo -n "Type text "
    read text
    echo
    echo "Menu"
    echo "1) Right justify  "
    echo "2) Center "
    echo "3) Exit "
    echo
    echo -n "Choose [1-3]: "
    read opt
    echo
    case $opt in
        1) printf "%*s\n" $COLS "$text"
           break
        ;;
        2) printf "%*s\n" $[$COLS/2] "$text"
           break
        ;;
        3) break
        ;;
        *)
        echo "Error. Press [1-3]"
        break
        ;;
    esac
done

A: As you have discovered, $COLUMNS is useful only in an interactive -i shell, so we use columns="$(tput cols)" instead.
The only issue I have is with the line below. It does not center text.
printf "%*s\n" $[$COLS/2] "$text"
Expanding on your work, here is a function to display centered text (from from a file). To call it within your script, use display_center "file.txt"
display_center(){
    columns="$(tput cols)"
    while IFS= read -r line; do
        printf "%*s\n" $(( (${#line} + columns) / 2)) "$line"
    done < "$1"
}

Note the use of ${#line} (akin to wc -m) to count the number of characters in the line. As long as you only need to display plain text without colors/formatting, then this should work fine.
Here is a function to display right-justified text (from a file) using your same implementation of printf.
display_right(){
    columns="$(tput cols)"
    while IFS= read -r line; do
        printf "%*s\n" $columns "$line"
    done < "$1"
}

You can also do similar things with tput and echo, but the example below is not so robust (i.e. will fail with long strings).
row=0
col=$(( ($(tput cols) - ${#text}) / 2))
tput clear
tput cup $row $col
echo "$text"

Also, you may want to consider using dialog or select to generate your menu. It would make your script significantly cleaner.

A: I've been having fun with scripting for a while. I'm a carpenter and mechanic by trade so bare with me lol.  I know this is an old question but I recently was looking for something similar to fancy up an overly complicated Arch installation script I've been working on and never found an answer that fit my needs.  So I wrote a (probably hackish) function that gives a few options to simplify the formatting I was looking for.  I figured I'd share in case anyone was interested.  This is all done in zsh.
# Formatting using printf
#
# _L == total length for 'L' and 'R' options
# tl == total length for 'C' option
# _c == center for 'C' option ( tl / 2 )
# fill == filler character or space by default
#
# Default lengths declared at top of function
#
# usage $) f_M [string] [L,R,C] [character count]
#       -S option:
#       $) f_M -S [character] [total length (- for default 'space')]
#        -3rd var ($3) is needed for filler character ($2) or
#         else ($2) is total length
#
#

f_M () {
    tl=72
    _c=36
    _L=16
    f_numread () {
        printf $1 | sed ':a;s/\B[0-9]\{3\}\>/,&/;ta'
    }
    f_C () {
        local x=$(printf $1 | wc -c)
        local y=$(expr $_c - $(expr $x / 2))
        local z=$(expr $tl - $y)
        local space=' '
        printf "%${y}s%-${z}s\n" "$space" "$1"
    }
    case $1 in
        -S)
            fill=' '
            if [[ -n $2 ]]; then
                if [[ -n $3 ]]; then
                    fill="$2"
                    if [[ $3 =~ ^-?[0-9]+$ ]]; then
                        tl=$3
                    fi
                else
                    if [[ $2 =~ ^-?[0-9]+$ ]]; then
                        tl=$2
                    fi
                fi
            fi
            printf "${fill}%.0s" {1..$tl}
            ;;
        *)
            if [[ $3 =~ ^-?[0-9]+$ ]]; then
                tl=$3
                _L=$3
                _c=$(expr $tl / 2)
            fi
            if [[ $1 =~ ^-?[0-9]+$ ]]; then
                local x=$(f_numread $1)
                case $2 in
                    L)
                        printf "%-${_L}s\n" "$x" ;;
                    R)
                        printf "%${_L}s\n" "$x" ;;
                    C)
                        f_C $x ;;
                    "")
                        printf '%s\n' $x
                esac
            else
                case $2 in
                    L)
                        printf "%-${_L}s\n" "$1" ;;
                    R)
                        printf "%${_L}s\n" "$1" ;;
                    C)
                        f_C $1 ;;
                    "")
                        printf '%s\n' $1
                esac
            fi
            ;;
    esac
}

Here's some examples of how I use it...
# Default character length is 72

[user@arch]$ printf '%s\n' "<$(f_M -S)>"
<                                                                        >

[user@arch]$ printf '%s\n' "<$(f_M -S = 50)>"
<==================================================>

# To change the 'fill' character(s), a 3rd argument is required
# So I set '-' to keep my default value
# There is probably a better way to do it but this fit my needs

[user@arch]$ printf '%s\n' "<$(f_M -S = -)>"
<========================================================================>

# Because of what I was trying to do and to get multiple uses out of
# one function, I use separate variables for 'C' than for 'L' and 'R'

[user@arch]$ printf '%s\n%s\n%s\n' "<$(f_M 'left' L 72)>" \
    "<$(f_M 'center' C)>" "<$(f_M 'right' R 72)>"
<left                                                                    >
<                                 center                                 >
<                                                                   right>

# It will also take a string that is only numbers and make
# it more "human readable"

[user@arch]$ num=12345678
[user@arch]$ printf '%s\n' "<$(f_M ${num} C 50)>"
<                    12,345,678                    >

And to get even more creative I can add another function that will automagically make a fancy text box using an array...
#!/bin/zsh

f_fancy_box () {
    local s=''
    for s in ${text[@]}; do
        case $s in
            000) printf '%b\n' "<$(f_M -S = -)>" ;;
            ---) printf '%b\n' "| $(f_M -S - 70) |" ;;
            *) printf '%b\n' "|$(f_M $s C)|" ;;
        esac
    done
}

text=(
"000"
" "
"It is hobbies like this"
"that keep me from ever"
"getting any sleep lol"
" "
"---"
" "
"But I think"
"it is worth it"
":P"
" "
"000"
)

f_fancy_box

exit

OUTPUT:
<========================================================================>
|                                                                        |

<========================================================================>

I hope somebody finds this useful!
EDIT: Changed printf '%s' in f_fancy_box to '%b'. According to the man page for printf, and to allow for character escapes, I think that's actually the appropriate command to use. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

A: #!/usr/bin/awk -f
{
  z = 92 - length
  y = int(z / 2)
  x = z - y
  printf "%*s%s%*s\n", x, "", $0, y, ""
}

Input

hello world
alpha bravo charlie delta

Output

                                         hello world
                                  alpha bravo charlie delta

A: Without destroying line contents?
This solution will put text in the center of the line in which the cursor is currently on, without printing spaces around its borders. Its useful if you want to center text without destroying what is currently printed on the line.

Notice: Your shell must support ANSI escape sequences for his example to work.

#!/bin/bash
print_center(){
    local x
    local y
    text="$*"
    x=$(( ($(tput cols) - ${#text}) / 2))
    echo -ne "\E[6n";read -sdR y; y=$(echo -ne "${y#*[}" | cut -d';' -f1)
    echo -ne "\033[${y};${x}f$*"
}

# main()

# clear the screen, put the cursor at line 10, and set the text color
# to light blue.
echo -ne "\\033[2J\033[10;1f\e[94m"

# do it!
print_center 'A big blue title!'

The cursor will be left at the end of "title!" in this example.  Use another ANSI sequence to relocate the cursor as you see fit.

Pros

*

*Works over SSH

*Can resize device buffer without centering issues (dynamic)

*Does not destroy line contents

*ASCII game / animation friendly.

Cons

*

*Will not work if your terminal does not support ANSI escape sequences

*Not intended for rolling log output.

*Depends on bash

A: A function that receives text and centers it horizontally, an array can also be used to enter the text.
It works as follows, a string is passed to the function and it is saved in an array, then with a for loop the array is traversed, printing each line in the center of the terminal.
function centerText() {
    columns="$(tput cols)"
    declare -a text=()
    text+=($*)
    for((i=0;i<${#text[@]};i++)); do
        printf "%*s\n" $(( (${#text[i]} + columns) / 2)) "${text[i]}"
    done
}

Here is a example:
function centerText() {
    columns="$(tput cols)"
    declare -a text=()
    text+=($*)
    for((i=0;i<${#text[@]};i++)); do
        printf "%*s\n" $(( (${#text[i]} + columns) / 2)) "${text[i]}"
    done
}

declare -a text=(
'First'
'Second'
'Third'
)

centerText ${text[@]}
sleep 5

Output:
                                     First
                                     Second
                                     Third

P.D: Sorry if there is something wrongly worded, my native language is not English.

A: I was also struggling for aligning texts in my bash script so I found solution it is:
# echo -e "\t Hello World!"

A: To print text at center:
echo "Some Text" | sed  -e :a -e "s/^.\{1,$(tput cols)\}$/ & /;ta" | tr -d '\n' | head -c $(tput cols)

Output:
                                    Some Text

El arbitraje de diferencias estado-inversor (conocido por ISDS del inglés Investor-state dispute settlement) es un instrumento de derecho internacional público, que otorga a un inversor extranjero el derecho a iniciar un procedimiento de arbitraje de diferencias contra un gobierno extranjero (el "estado anfitrión").

Las disposiciones que prevén la ISDS se encuentran en un gran número de tratados bilaterales de inversión, entre las empresas privadas y los Estados, el arbitraje de diferencias puede llevar a un Estado a tribunales internacionales, en algunos acuerdos comerciales internacionales, como el capítulo 11 del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte y en los acuerdos internacionales de inversión, tales como el Tratado sobre la Carta de la Energía.

Si un inversor extranjero de un país "A" ("Estado de origen") invierte en el país "B" ("Estado Receptor"), ambos de los cuales han acordado la ISDS, y el estado anfitrión viola los derechos reconocidos a los inversores en virtud de una ley internacional pública, entonces este inversor puede someter el asunto a un tribunal arbitral internacional.

Mientras la ISDS se asocia a menudo con el arbitraje bajo las reglas del CIADI (Centro Internacional de Arbitraje de Diferencias relativas a Inversiones del Grupo del Banco Mundial). El ISDS, de hecho, a menudo se lleva a cabo bajo los auspicios de los tribunales arbitrales internacionales que se rigen por diferentes normas o instituciones, como el Tribunal de Londres de Arbitraje Internacional, la Cámara de Comercio Internacional, el Centro de arbitraje Internacional de Hong Kong o el Reglamento de Arbitraje de la CNUDMI.

Ardfinnan qualified for the final of the O'Donoghue Motor Factors South Tipperary U21 championship with a five point victory over Moyle Rovers in the semi-final played in Ned Hall Park on Saturday last.
The heavy underfoot conditions and the drizzle that fell before the game mitigated against free flowing football but both sides served a full blooded contest with Ardfinnan just about deserving winners mainly due to a power-packed last 20 minutes when they hit seven unanswered points mainly through the unerring accuracy of Danny O'Regan from both play and frees.
For a Moyle Rovers side that dominated up to then, mainly through Phil Quirke, the lack of firepower proved costly with Liam Boland contributing eight of their nine points with all but two coming from placed balls .
Ardfinnan had an early goal chance but James Cahill in the Moyle Rovers saved well from Danny O'Regan at the expense of a fruitless 45. Gerry Cronin and an O'Regan free put Ardfinnan two up.
Liam Boland had Moyle Rovers opening score from a 45 after Ardfinnan's Colin Nugent had saved well. The same player levelled matters with a free. Both forward lines were struggling for scores but O'Regan from play and a Billy Hewitt free put Ardfinnan two up after 15 minutes.
A Liam Boland free left the minimum between the sides. Then a fine Ardfinnan move saw Billy Hewitt clear on goal but his effort went outside the post. Boosted by this miss Moyle Rovers hit the next three points from two Liam Boland frees and a Craig Condon free to lead 6-4.
An O'Regan free left the minimum between the sides at half-time Moyle Rovers dominated the opening of the second half and two Boland points, one a free, increased their lead to three. Billy Hewitt replied with a free. Moyle Rovers then missed a great goal chance when wing back Luke Boland shot wide. O'Regan and Boland exchanged scores to leave Moyle Rovers 9-7 up after 10 minutes.
Ardfinnan now began to get a foothold around the middle as the influence of Philip Quirke began to wane and their defence got on top with Moyle Rovers danger man Liam Boland forced to forage deeper in search of possession.
With the winners now enjoying more possession, O'Regan began to give the Moyle Rovers full back line a torrid time and he added five points, from from frees, along with a Billy Hewitt free to leave the winners four ahead before centre back Michael O'Sullivan had the closing score.
Best for the winners were S Nagle, Jonathan Ryan, Oisin Flynn, Aaron Cowan, Billy Hewitt and Danny O'Regan.
Best for Moyle Rovers were Liam Boland, Philip Quirke, Aidan McGrath, Ross Mulcahy and Eoin O'Connor.
Moyle Rovers: J Cahill, D Mulcahy, E O'Connor, M Delahunty, L Boland, R Mulcahy, R Clancy, P Quirke, C Condon, A McGrath, L Boland, S Lonergan, C Kenneally, P Keating, R Boland. Subs Used : B Norris, K O'Donnell.
From time to time one hears worries in GAA circles about the dropout of players from underage teams. Perhaps the organisation of their games has something to do with this. Last Sunday's virtual quarter-final of the Hall Alarms South Tipp -21 B championship was a perfect example. This game eventually took place in Clonmel on Sunday last, in the worst of the recent weather with a lunch time throw in of 12.45pm. This time the appointed referee couldn't officiate and the board secretary had to take the whistle to avoid another postponement. With such chopping and changing, it is no wonder that younger players become disillusioned and drop out of our games. A strain is also put on club officials and volunteers are becoming harder and harder to obtain.
Clonmel Og/Clerihan had first use of the elements. They got off to a great start with a Dean Kelleher point in their very first attack. In two minutes, Conor Arrigan had a goal and a minute later Arrigan pointed again. When Kelleher pointed a free in five minutes, ClonmelOg/Clerihan led 1-3 to nil and it looked as if Mullinahone would be submerged on the scoreboard if not on the field.
Steve O'Connell pointed in nine minutes to be followed by another Kelleher point. Tony Treacy pointed for Mullinahone in the 15th minute as the Clonmel Óg/Clerihan gale decreased. It was another 10 minutes before Kelleher pointed again from a free and Michael Lynch pointed after 29 minutes. Marc Ahearne saw yellow just before half time which saw the score Clonmel Og/Clerihan 1-7, Mullinahone C.J.K. O-1.
The second half saw Mullinahone having the use of the elements. Eddie Power pointed for Clonmel Óg/Clerihan as did Jamie Gahan for Mullinahone. Tony Treacy missed a goal chance which could have launched a Mullinahone comeback. In 10 minutes Graham Horan pointed for Mullinahone and Gary Cronin followed with another point. Luke Mullally pointed in 14 minutes, but the goal which would spark a revival never came though several chances were missed.
In 20 minutes Gary Cronin pointed a free to cut the gap to five points. Micheál Dunne, who had been on minor hurling duty for Tipp, had come on for Mullinahone. His introduction livened up the Mullinahone attack but even two late points from him wasn't enough The last few minutes and added time were exciting as C.J.K. sought the goal which would send the game to extra time but it didn't come. Final score ClonmelOg/Clerihan 1-8, Mullinahone C.J.K. 0-8.
Clonmel Og/Clerihan now go forward to a semi-final from which the winners will advance to meet Killenaule in the final. They probably deserved their win, but the Clonmel/Clerihan combination will worry that they only scored 0-3 in the last three quarters of the game. However, they showed spirit in recovering from a bit of a drubbing in their previous game.
Their best were Dean Kelleher, Dara Kearney, Dean Horton and Shane Murphy in goal who handled the wet ball well.
Mullinahone will be disappointed that they were not at full strength but manager Edwin O'Meara will feel that a little luck could have swung the game in their favour. Their best were Luke Mullally, Eoin Fennelly and sub Micheál Dunne.
Clonmel Óg/Clerihan: Shane Murphy, Brian Bates, Declan Bennett, Andrew O'Donnell, Dean Horton, Aaron Arrigan, Donal Walsh, Dara Kearney, Marc Ahearne, Michael Lynch, Steve O'Connell, Eddie Power, Conor Arrigan, Dean Kelleher, Shane Fehilly.
Mullinahone C.J.K. Joe Hogan, Edward Dunne, Richie Walsh, Stephen Quirke, David Walzer, Diarmuid O'Halloran, George Browning, Jamie Gahan, Eoin Fennelly, Cathal Horan, Luke Mullally, Tony Treacy, Sean Walzer, Gary Cronin, Chris O'Brien. Subs used: Michael Dunne, Graham Horan.
In the first of the South Tipperary Hall Alarms U21 B Football semi-finals, Killenaule left it very late to secure victory and a place in the final having amassed a total of 12 wides over the hour to the opposition's four.
From the start of the game Killenaule seemed to be in control but not able to put away scores with the combination side playing well and living on scraps. The irst score came from Daniel Guinan from 40m having lined out in the middle of the field with Joe O'Dwyer adding a second from a free in the 3rd minute.
Killenaule who were still dominating the game picked off two points within two minutes from Joe O'Dwyer and Daniel Guinan. Killenaule introduced Adam O'Connell and Jack O'Connell and reshuffled the attack, O'Dwyer drawing the sides level at the end of the third quarter with a well taken point 0-9 to 2-3.
The final quarter saw the combination lift their game to score two excellent points in the 48th minute from Kyle Walsh and the 50th minute from Jack O' Hanlon. They also introduced two subs Stephen Foley and Mark O'Dwyer and a shock certainly looked on the cards.
However Killenaule had one trump card left when they moved Daniel Guinan to full forward and brought Jack O'Connell to the middle of the field with both players combining well to provide the 1-1 scored in the final five minutes by James Doyle and a Daniel Guinan point to just shade it on the day and advance to the final.
Best for Killenaule were Aiden Leahy, James Feehan, man of the match Daniel Guinan, Joe O'Dwyer, James Doyle and Jack O'Connell while for a gallant Grangemockler/Carrick Davins, Andrew Bolger, Mark Roche, Colm McElliott, Stephen Moroney, Curtis Walsh, Jack O'Hanlon, Kyle Walsh, Tom Norton and John Croke were best.
Scorers, Killenaule, Joe O'Dwyer 0-5(3f) James Doyle 1-1, Daniel Guinan 0-3, Robbie Blake 0-1.

Anique is one of five artists chosen for the 2021 RBC Emerging Artist Project – With the Art Gallery of Ontario as a signature partner since 2017, the award recognizes Canada's emerging talent. The award was established to recognize new talent and the role of the arts in building vibrant communities and strong economies. Bridging the gap between emerging and established artists, the RBC award is intended to strengthen artists' access to professional networks, mentorship and training, and to provide exposure to new and diverse audiences. This year, RBC has developed an exciting new video series entitled From Within, which profiles five of Canada's notable emerging visual artists. In the video, Anique shares her sense of purpose as an artist; her perspective on the sacredness of her cultural influences and the importance of archiving and documenting. In her new piece, she brings to life a forgotten story of murder, race and heroism in Toronto's history.

Sandra Brewster – Artist Prize 2018, Tau Lewis – Artist Prize Finalist 2019
Two of our artists have been featured in the Art Gallery of Ontario's 'Art in the Spotlight' series and we include links to each of the videos created for this program.
Sandra Brewster directed the music video for Anishinaabe writer and musician Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's latest single, Viscosity. Sandra is well-knownfor her stunning work featuring photo-based gel transfers. Both her videography and editing in Viscosity create a slow-moving, contemplative portrait of nature – set in black and white. Armed with only a smartphone, Brewster captured all the principal footage in her own backyard and during nature walks along Toronto's Leslie Street Spit. Recently both Sandra and Leanne connected with Wanda Nanibush, AGO Curator, Indigenous Art, for a virtual 'Art in the Spotlight' discussion about their project.
Tau Lewis was in conversation with Hammer Museum curator Erin Christovale about her work. Tau employs arduous methods such as hand-sewing, carving and assemblage to build intricate sculptural portraits and quilts made out of found, gathered and recycled materials from Toronto, New York and her family home, Negril, Jamaica. A self-taught artist, Tau's practice is rooted in healing personal, collective, and historical traumas through labour. Her work will be included in 2021 exhibitions at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Grinnell College Museum of Art, Grinnell, Iowa; Prospect 5, New Orleans; Haus der Kunst, Munich; and the National Gallery of Canada.

Coles, Sir Jenkin (1843–1911)
by Suzanne Edgar
Jenkin Coles (1843-1911), by unknown photographer, c1885
State Library of South Australia, SLSA: B48260
Sir Jenkin Coles (1843-1911), auctioneer and politician, was born on 19 January 1843 at Liverpool, New South Wales, eldest son of Jenkin Coles, publican, and his wife Caroline. The family returned to England in 1849 and Coles attended Christ's Hospital, London. In 1854 they migrated to South Australia and Coles became a junior clerk with the River Murray Navigation Co. From 1859 he worked at the Adelaide Hospital; in 1861 he failed in an application to join John McDouall Stuart's exploring party, but it led to a job as a mounted policeman at Overland Corner. From 1864 at Kapunda, Coles was an auctioneer and stock and station agent with a popular 'trick of repartee'. Next year, on 9 May, he married Ellen Henrietta Briggs in St Francis Xavier's Cathedral, Adelaide; they had seven daughters and four sons.
Although not a single-taxer, Coles admired Henry George's ideas on land reform. In 1875, as a free trader and land reformer, he won a House of Assembly by-election for Light. Standing down at the 1877 elections, he wound up his business and in 1881 regained Light (Wooroora) and held it until his death. When campaigning, Coles was 'a strange mixture of nervousness and intrepidity', although he 'spoke fearlessly'. His policies were 'sober, and sane and safe' and in parliament he proved practical and diligent. In June 1884 he was rewarded with the lands and immigration portfolio in (Sir) John Colton's cabinet.
Coles was a just and efficient minister. He ensured that rents were paid and resisted special pleading and indignant squatters' deputations; although 'forcible, often aggressive', he extended 'the greatest leniency where it was justified'. He carried the important Pastoral Crown Lands Act, 1884. Aimed at land speculation, it classified pastoral land, opened old leases to public competition and extended fixity of tenure to genuine settlers.
In 1885 the government fell, and for a time Coles led the Opposition. His 1886 no confidence motion against Sir John Downer forced a restructuring of the cabinet. When Thomas Playford formed a government in 1887 Coles resumed lands and immigration. He amended much legislation to further facilitate settlement. His 1888 Crown Lands Consolidation Act embodied the recommendations of the important commission on the land laws of South Australia of that year, on which he had sat. It divided the colony into land districts with local land boards.
The Playford government was replaced in 1889 and next year Coles was unanimously elected Speaker of the House. The Register commented: 'the best prizefighter makes the fairest referee'. He proved an 'alert, suave and wise' arbiter and avoided further active political participation. In 1894 he was appointed K.C.M.G. and moved to Adelaide. A member of the Savage Club, he had joined the Adelaide Club in 1890, and became a director of the Bank of Adelaide. By 1900 his friend C. C. Kingston found him 'not so Liberal as might be wished'. Averse to 'promiscuous society gatherings', he loved a rubber of whist, and was 'a thorough home bird'.
In 1910 Coles achieved a record term as Speaker. He was unwilling to retire when illness overtook him next year and his son relayed his resignation to parliament shortly before Coles's death of Bright's disease at his Glenelg home on 6 December. Eulogies extolling his impartiality and tolerance were extravagant and from all political groups. His family declined the offer of a state funeral as being incompatible with his unostentatious habits.

Tesla Stock Drops After Fire
Shares of Tesla Motors Inc. fell $12.05 to $180.95 after one of their electric cars caught fire. The driver of the car said he thought he hit some debris and pulled over in the car to assess the damage. Once he had exited the car, he smelled burning and then the vehicle caught fire.
Fire fighters battled the flame which kept reigniting and claimed that it took several attempts to put the fire out completely. The trooper on the scene could not find any debris under or near the vehicle but Department of Transportation workers later found some near the site.
Company spokeswoman Liz Jarvis-Shean said there were no indications that the fire was caused by anything other than the crash.
"This was not a spontaneous event," she said. "Every indication we have at this point is that the fire was a result of the collision and the damage sustained through that."
Under normal circumstances, investigators from NHTSA, the government's auto safety watchdog, would travel to Seattle to investigate the Tesla crash. But with the partial government shutdown, NHTSA stopped posting recall information on its website and it was unclear when or if an investigation would begin.
The Model S had previously received positive reviews. It received a top crash-test score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a tie for the highest auto test score ever recorded by Consumer Reports magazine.
Tesla even bragged that the Model S was "the safest car in America."
