The San Francisco Fogger
Rate your writing-with 8-bit or ST
BY CHARLES JACKSON, Antic Tchnical Editor
Check the readability of your letters, reports and term papers. The San Francisco Fogger analyzes your text files and measures the clarity of your writing. We've provided both ST and 8-bit versions of the program. The 8-bit version of the program works on Atari computers with at least 32K memory, disk or cassette.
Sometimes, what you write isn't nearly as important as the way you write it. Consider, for example, an introductory BASIC tutorial which can only be understood by advanced BASIC programmers. Such a tutorial is useless to both groups of people. Now, your Atari can help.
Since the 1930s, writers have been constructing readability formulas to gauge the clarity of their writing. Robert Gunning's Fog Index, introduced in 1968, is one of the best-known. A newer variation of the Fog Index is G.H. McLaughlin's Smog Index, developed in 1980.
The Fog and Smog Indexes are mathematical formulas that estimate the number of years of schooling a person needs in order to read your writing easily. Most local newspapers, for example, are written at 8th-grade level, while the Wall Street Journal "fogs" in at about 12th grade.
In 1949, Dr. Rudolf Flesch introduced one of the first readability formulas. Flesch also developed formulas to measure the "human interest" of a text file. The Flesch Index yields a "reading ease" score between 0 (practically unreadable) and 100 (easy).
The San Francisco Fogger, named for Antic's home town, analyzes any text file and determines its Fog Index--as well as its Smog Index and Flesch Score. Fogger also counts the number of sentences and words in your file.
8-Bit Users: Type in Listing 1,FOGGER.BAS, check it with TYPO II and SAVE a copy before you RUN it.
ST Users: Type in Listing 2, FOGGER.C, and compile it with Alcyon C or Megamax C. Antic Disk owners can transfer the FOGGER.PRG file over to their ST, following the instructions in the ST Help file on Side B of the monthly disk.
The San Francisco Fogger is easy to use. Just enter the name of your text file, and the Fogger does the rest. The Fogger is designed to handle standard ASCII text files! You should avoid using it with files containing printer control codes, or with compressed files. Antic has successfully used the Fogger on 8-bit text files created with PaperClip and Atariwriter Plus. On the ST, 1st Word works if files are not saved in "Word Processing" mode, and ST Writer works unly with files that you print to disk.
Readability formulas usually rely on the average number of words in your sentences, the average number of syllables per word, and the average number of "difficult" words per sentence. Words with three or more syllables are considered difficult by most readability formulas.
The Fogger uses common algorithms to recognize words and sentences in a text file. A sentence is defined as a sequence of words ending in a period (or any other applicable punctuation mark). Words are sequences of letters or numbers not interrupted by a space. The Fogger also corrects for special cases such as "Mr." and "Jr."
The syllable-counting routines, however, are not so simple.
SYLLABLE COUNTING
Initially, the progmm counts each occurrence of a vowel followed by a non-vowel. The word "Sanctionable" has four such occurrences (S an cti on ab l e).
Next, the Fogger accounts for special cases, such as words with a "silent e." When the Fogger finds a word with a silent e, it checks to see whether the total syllable count should be reduced. Words like "time," "tile" and "title" all have silent e's. When the Fogger finds such a word, it checks to see if the next-to-last letter is an L. Words which pass this second test, such as "tile" and "title", must go through a third test before the syllable count is correct.
In the third test, the Fogger checks to see if the letter before the L is either a vowel or an R, S, or L (as in quadrille). If the word passes the first two tests, but fails this one, we leave the syllable count alone. Otherwise, we subtract one to account for the silent e.
The Fogger also conducts a similar battery of tests on words which have patterns like es, ed, io, yi and ia. Because of limited publishing space, we could not include less-common patterns in the program.
Occasionally the Fogger will find a word which doesn't fit into any of these rules, and the syllable count will be somewhat inaccurate. Since all three readability formulas rely on average values, small inaccuracies in the overall syllable count will not affect the final Fog, Smog and Flesch values.
If you'd like to see the ST's syllable routines at work, hold down the [ALTERNATE] key while selecting (or double-clicking) the file to be processed. The Fogger will display each word in the file, along with the number of syllables in the word.
NUMBER-CRUNCHING
Once all of the syllables, words and sentences are counted, the Fogger calculates the Fog, Smog and Flesch Indexes. The formulas appear in the ST listing in the number_crunch( ) function.
By the way, this article has a Fog Index of 8.74, a Smog Index of 11.43 and a Flesch Score of 59.98.

a filling station was opened to serve municipal vehicles with natural gas in 2003.
Morges launched its Display® campaign in June of 2006 and took the opportunity to raise awareness among its entire municipal staff.
In June of 2006, the awareness-raising campaign was launched starting with a large exhibition of 23 Display® posters in community buildings. Two information meetings with a slideshow on Display® were also held for different target groups : One of them focused on elected officials and top municipal managers, with a second focusing on all caretakers and technical staff. At a meeting of the city council in July 2006, members of the city council received this information. The press, radio, local television, and newspapers published in Morges and the francophone part of Switzerland gave great coverage of the launch of the Display® Campaign.
_ In the first series of posters, energy officers recommended a few simple changes that people could make in their behaviour to reduce energy consumption. In the second series at the beginning of 2007, caretakers and building users themselves filled in this section of the posters after a meeting on the results from the previous year.
Morges has designed and implemented some impressive campaigns to make its energy and water consumption more efficient in municipal buildings. It hung up posters indicating trends in consumption in its communal buildings to serve as the basis for the optimized management of consumption and as a guide for refurbishments. The cooperation of technical staff was crucial in this process, as was the participation of the users of the buildings, who had to change their everyday behaviour.
The Display® Campaign is financed as part of the community's budget. The largest item in the budget is labour invested by community staff. All communication is published by the community of Morges.
The local press, which provided positive feedback on the Display® campaign and the city of Morges.
_ The awareness-raising campaign targeted local administration, the city council, service technician managers, administrative officers, school principals, directors of kindergartens, and caretakers of municipal buildings. In total, 180 people were targeted.
Lessons Learnt _ Thanks to the awareness-raising campaign, Morges was able to cut energy consumption by 10%. Even though little time has passed since these measures were implemented and it is hard to quantify the results, some improvements are obvious. For instance, many people have changed their behaviour to a significant extent, with colleagues often calling on each other to "think about sustainable development."
_ At the end of each year, the Display® posters are updated and the actions proposed on the posters completed. Starting in 2007, the posters will also show the specific effects of the renovation work done in the "before/after" section, and the efficiency gains made will be made visible if a building jumps up a class.
_ A renovation programme integrated in the community's investment plan will be taking place alongside the Display® campaign starting in 2007 with the town hall and the fire station. The goal is to reduce energy consumption there.
_ In the future, Morges hopes to expand performance labels to private buildings (Congress Center, hotels, etc.).
_ Finally, the community is looking for new ways to support communication and possibly work with other communities that take part in the REVE Jura-Léman project.

Directions: Take 70 heading past NASA and before White Sands Missile Range. It is on the east slope side of the Organ Mountains.
Unlike most of the time-worn mountains in the area, the Organ Mountains are jagged and steep. They present a forbidding countenance to hikers. Over the years, many climbers have suffered severe injury while attempting to conquer this formidable landmark. Fortunately, the mountains also have easy trails for the casual hiker.
The Aguirre Springs Recreation Area lies on the east side of Organ Mountains. The vegetation of the park changes with altitude. At the base of the mountains, we see desert shrubs and cactus. As we ascend the mountain, the vegetation changes and various trees such as piñon, juniper, and oak can be found. Many different species of mammals can be seen on the park, including deer, antelope, oryx, and (rarely) mountain lions.
The park is run by the Bureau of Land Management. It has camp sites, picnic areas and two major trails. The Baylor Pass Trail is well marked and runs six miles to the other side of the Organ Mountains. The Pine Tree Trail is a four mile trail that winds through the woods that cover the upper part of the Organ Mountains. Both trails offers great views of the Tularosa Basin.

Michael Army Airfield (MAAF)  is a military airport located at the Dugway Proving Ground and owned by the United States Army. It is  west of the proving grounds barracks at Dugway, Tooele County, Utah, United States.

Overview
Michael Army Airfield is located in a secluded, distant location and the secretive nature of its missions are generally undisclosed by the Army. Built by the Army during World War II, as Dugway Army Airfield, the facility is located in the Dugway Proving Ground which is one of the Army's main facilities for developing defenses against biological and chemical attacks. Workers at Dugway test defense gear to make sure they can survive nuclear, biological and chemical attacks.

MAAF is located just south of Hill Air Force Base's massive Utah Test and Training Range, where F-35 Lightning II fighters from Hill train in air-to-air combat and the Air Force tests cruise missiles, and is used occasionally by the Air Force as an emergency landing field.

It has been called the "new Area 51" by some, with the Dugway Proving Ground serving as a buffer zone, as the Nevada Test Site served for Groom Lake.

Projects
In the 1990s, MAAF was associated with the NASA X-38 Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) program, for the International Space Station. That program, however, was canceled in 2002 due to budget cuts.

One frequently rumored test project is the Lockheed Martin X-33. It is undetermined if MAAF will be used in association with the Boeing X-37 Advanced Technology Demonstrator, the military derivative of the X-38, a classified project which was transferred from NASA to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on 13 September 2004.

In 2009, it was announced that Michael AAF will be used for the development and testing of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), which are sent overseas to provide soldiers with an aerial view - via video feed - of combat situations.

Facilities
Michael AAF previously had a  runway which was in poor condition. An FAA airport diagram effective January 2008 shows a 7,000 by  runway (12/30) open parallel to the prior runway, but the diagram effective February 2009 shows a new 11,000 by  runway is open in place of the original runway. As of 2013, 1,000 feet of each end of the runway is designated as an "overrun," leaving only 10,000 feet available for takeoffs and landings in each direction.

Russia retires reactor at Leningrad plant
November 13, 2020, 9:31AM
The Leningrad nuclear power plant's Unit I-2, a 925-MWe RBMK-1000 light-water–cooled graphite-moderated reactor, was permanently shut down on November 10, according to Rosatom, Russia's state atomic energy corporation. The shutdown occurred at 12:30 a.m. Moscow time.
The unit was the oldest operating reactor at the plant, having achieved initial criticality in May 1975 and entered commercial operation in February 1976. Two additional RBMK-1000s remain in operation at Leningrad—Units I-3 and I-4, both of which have been in operation for about 40 years.
The retired reactor is to be replaced by Unit II-2, one of two 1,085-MWe Generation III+ VVER-1200 pressurized water reactors at the Leningrad site. The new unit was connected to the Russian grid in October, and on November 6 it received regulatory approval to begin pilot operation. (Leningrad's other VVER-1200, Unit II-1, started commercial operation in 2018.) Following the trial operation, Unit II-2 will be shut down for an additional equipment inspection by a state commission before being put into commercial operation early next year, according to Rosenergoatom, Rosatom's electric power division.

Q: Integrating WinJS and Angular2 I'm trying to wrap a WinJS rating control in an Angular2 component. When I debug, I can see that WinJS.UI.processAll(); is being called and executed. But I don't see the rating control.
How can I make it work?
Dashboard.cshtml:
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Dashboard";
}

<my-app></my-app>

app.js:
import { Component, View, bootstrap } from 'angular2';
import 'reflect-metadata';
import 'winjs';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app'
})
@View({
    template: '

'
})
class MyAppComponent {
    constructor() {
    }

    onInit() {
        WinJS.UI.processAll();
    }
}

bootstrap(MyAppComponent);

A: As requested by @wonderfulworld
First of all, according to Adding the Windows Library for JavaScript to your page you must add the css file to your html.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/winjs/4.3.0/css/ui-light.min.css">

Second thing, from alpha37+ you must import and implement the lifecycle hook you're using, onInit in this case (see remove LifecycleEvent).
import { Component, View, bootstrap, OnInit} from 'angular2/angular2';
import 'reflect-metadata';
import 'winjs';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app'
})
@View({
    template: '

'
})
class MyAppComponent implements OnInit {
    onInit() {
        WinJS.UI.processAll();
    }
}

And that would be all. Here's the plnkr.
Glad it helped ;)

16-year-old queer Latina Jessie Hernandez killed by Denver police
Jessie Hernandez' friends describe her as goofy, lovable, with an infectious smile. On Monday morning, the Denver police officers saw in Jessie — a Latina, queer-presenting young person — a threat. For this reason, Jessie is now dead. Just another person extrajudicially killed by a police officer.
On Monday morning just after 7am, police officers from the Denver Police Department arrived in an alley where Jessie Hernandez and a few friends were parked on a call of suspicious activity. When the officers determined the vehicle had been reported stolen, the officers approached the vehicle. Police said that when they approached, the driver hit one of the officers with the car. Both officers fired several shots, struck, and killed Jessie. It is the third time in seven months that the Denver Police Department has claimed that suspects shot by officers have used cars as weapons. When a young woman who pulled out her phone to film the aftermath, she said an officer yelled at her: "Don't you dare!"
Denver Police Chief Robert White said he believed the shooting was justified. He is not alone — a cursory look at the discussion of the murder on Twitter yields many victim-blaming and demonizing sentiments from people who apparently believe that it is appropriate for a police officer to act as judge, jury, and executioner. At least one media piece calling Jessie a pot-smoking, underage-drinking lesbian has already popped up. New person, same old victim-blaming story. Rinse, repeat.
Run-ins with abusive policing are not unusual for LGBTQ youth of color, and in fact, criminalization plays a huge role in the lives of LGBTQ people of color. LGBTQ people of color experience policing in many of the same ways other people of color do: we are stopped and frisked, we are racially profiled, we are victims of laws that bring together our nation's draconian and increasingly criminalizing immigration laws with discriminatory policing, like Arizona's SB1070.
But LGBTQ people of color also experience discriminatory policing that is very particular to the ways officers perceive sexual orientation and/or sexual identity and expression. One of the ways this happens is through the use of condoms as evidence: LGBTQ people, especially trans women of color, are profiled as trading sex, and can have condoms confiscated and used as evidence of prostitution-related crimes in jurisdictions across the country. LGBTQ people experience sexual harassment and assault that is very particular to sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, like being asked by police officers for sexual favors. And LGBTQ people, particularly gender non-conforming LGBTQ people of color, are often subject to humiliating strip searches, the purpose of which are to determine a subject's "real" gender.
LGBTQ people of color, and particularly youth and trans and gender non-conforming people, are often read as "off" or suspicious, and are consistent targets of discriminatory policing.
I've written before that women who are targeted by the police, particularly trans and gender non-conforming women, are rarely candidates for "innocence." They are seen as disposable, far from being moral actors. Jessie Hernandez is already being painted negatively, already being blamed for her own death at the hands of the state. To the police, and surely much of the media that will cover her death, she was a wild, pot-smoking lesbian who used her car as a weapon against the police.
And what if she was? Does that truly justify being killed?
Let's talk for a moment about what constitutes "justified." I recall a white man in Aurora, CO — just outside of Denver — getting out unscathed after shooting up a movie theater, killing and injuring dozens. If an armed, dangerous person can be apprehended safely — as surely he should have been — why wasn't this possible for the unarmed Jessie Hernandez? Why does this seem so impossible for people of color in general? How is it that the bodies of people of color are, on their own, a bigger threat to officers than a white guy with multiple firearms?
White supremacy is how. A system meant by design to exert control over communities can do little else.
Jessie Hernandez did not deserve to die. She did not deserve to have her bleeding, dying, body handcuffed and searched, being flipped lifelessly on the street, before she got any medical attention. Her friends did not deserve the lifetime of trauma this incident will provide them. Even if the car was stolen. Even if Jessie did injure an officer with the car.
"I mean, with everything that's going on," a friend said in tears at a vigil, "it wouldn't be a surprise that she got scared, you know?"
Women's deaths and abuse at the hands of the police rarely make the news in the same way that the deaths of some men do, but today we speak Jessie Hernandez's name. Today we remember.
Rest in peace, Jessie.

"Latin American Towns and Villages for Fair Trade" is the regional fair trade towns' campaign developed by CLAC, WFTO-LA and SPP-Global. CLAC and WFTO-LA started the campaign in 2015, and SPP joined in 2016. The three networks reaffirm today the commitment of working together and participate in the worldwide "trade justice" movement as part of their strategy. The regional Latin American campaign will also take part into the International Fair Trade Towns Conference in Saarbrücken (14-17 September 2017). Rosa Guamán, President of SPP, Miriam Elizabeth Pérez Zelaya, from COMSA (Marcala, Honduras), and Marco Coscione, CLAC's campaigns' coordinator, will be there.
«Since we started the regional campaign in Latin America, we were able to raise the interest of different fair trade producers' organizations, networks and local authorities in different countries», says Marco. «This was exactly what we wanted to do with our members: showing them the global campaign, accompany them to start a local advocacy campaign and adapt it to the Latin American context». This will of course help building a stronger fair trade movement also in the South.
After receiving the Saarbrücken delegation in Marcala (Honduras, March 2016), the fair trade small producers' organization COMSA convinced local authorities and local civil society associations to start a local campaign in Marcala: «For COMSA is very important to establish local fair trade relations», says Miriam Elizabeth. «Of course we will continue exporting fair trade coffee, but we know that our producers have a lot of different organic products that, as coffee, can be also traded at local level. We need to create new trade relation between local producers and consumers». Marcala started the campaign in March 2017. The three producers' networks propose to build new bridges between Fair Trade Towns in the North and potential Fair Trade Towns in Latin America. This would also help spreading the campaign in the South and promoting new solidarity activities around the world.
«We know it's not easy to spread the campaign in Latin America», says Marco. «Especially because in Southern countries only few products recognized as fair trade products are available and in very few places; but we have a lot of producers and other products also produced by fair trade organizations». Fair trade and responsible consumption are concepts and practices still not very well known among Latin American consumers. In this sense, the three networks will intensify their advocacy and communication actions in order to spread the campaign in the region.
A good example of advocacy and raising awareness work is the Ecuadorian one. In 2016, Riobamba and Quito reached their adapted local criteria and were declared as "Fair Trade Towns". Quito is the first Latin American fair trade national capital city. In Riobamba, the local leadership of the fair trade producers and organizations was essential to establish a local action plan and start the related activities to promote fair trade in the city. «We worked hard to reach the fair trade towns criteria in Riobamba», says Rosa. «The relation between local authorities and fair trade producers is very good, and we succeed in involving also the universities, as part of the Riobamba civil society. This connection among different actors is the starting point to build the movement in Ecuador and to better communicate to consumers what fair trade really is».
Promoting regional campaigns, led by fair trade producers networks, is empowering producers organizations in advocacy activities; and it is demonstrating that fair trade organizations can reach more local actors, producers and activists, by speaking the same language and understanding better the situation of southern small rural villages or towns. «But we need a strong and constant commitment of the fair trade regional networks and local producers' organizations in order to keep the campaign alive and have a real impact», Marco comments.
The three Latin American fair trade producers' networks invite all national, regional and global fair trade networks to work together in advocacy activities like the Fair Trade Towns campaign; promoting joint campaigns all over the world and with a leading role of the small producers (artisans and farmers), who represent the roots and the heart of the Fair Trade Movement.
