Louis Lipinsky was 16 years old when The Wright brothers make their first attempt to fly with the Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were two American aviators, engineers, inventors, and aviation pioneers who are generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane. They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903, four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In 1904–05 the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.

World War II: After sustaining heavy damage in the Battle of the River Plate two days prior, the commander of the German cruiser Admiral Graf Spee decided to scuttle the ship rather than allow its capture by the British. World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although conflicts reflecting the ideological clash between what would become the Allied and Axis blocs began earlier. The vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—eventually formed two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most global war in history; it directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of total war, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities, most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China. It included massacres, the genocide of the Holocaust, strategic bombing, premeditated death from starvation and disease and the only use of nuclear weapons in war.

Louis Lipinsky was 66 years old when The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, outlawing racial segregation in public schools because "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and therefore unconstitutional. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court of the United States. Established pursuant to Article Three of the United States Constitution in 1789, it has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and state court cases, involving issues of federal law plus original jurisdiction over a small range of cases. In the legal system of the United States, the Supreme Court is generally the final interpreter of federal law including the United States Constitution, but it may act only within the context of a case in which it has jurisdiction. The Court may decide cases having political overtones, but does not have power to decide nonjusticiable political questions, and its enforcement arm is in the executive rather than judicial branch of government.

Q: Error Running MVC2 application in IIS on .NET 4.0 I recently installed the RTM version of 4.0. I now receive an error when running MVC2 websites in a .net 4 app pool. The error is "User is not available in this context." All works fine on .net 2.0 app pools or if I run the app within the VS10 web server. The error only occurs in IIS on .net 4.0. To verify that it was not something specific to my app, I created a new MVC test app from the VS template and even that app encounters this error. My next step is to reinstall .net 4.0.
Has anyone else seen this error?

A: Reinstalling the framework fixed this.

Rs 97 lakh allotted for Valiyazheekal bridge linking Alappuzha, Kollam districts
Our Correspondent December 03, 2019 06:04 AM IST
Thrikkunnapuzha: The Kerala Roads Fund Board has allocated Rs 97 lakh towards land acquisition for the construction of the Valiyazheekal bridge linking the Alappuzha and Kollam districts across the estuary. The bridge construction had been stalled over delay in compensating for land acquisition from the public. However, more funds are required to restart the construction of the Rs 140 crore bridge on Kerala's western coast.
The Rs 97 lakh now allocated is for acquiring land from seven people in Valiyazheekal village in Alappuzha district.
Another Rs 76 lakh is required for completing the land acquisition process at both Valiyazheekal and Azheekal which is beyond the estuary and falls in Kollam district. Of this Rs 40 lakh would go for the pending land acquisition costs at Valiyazheekal and the rest Rs 36 lakh would have to be paid to compensate four landowners at Azheekal in Kollam.
The Rs 97 lakh has been credited to the tehsildar's bank account. This amount has to be transferred to the account of the executive engineer of the Public Works Department, before being finally paid off as compensation to the land owners.
A delay in handing over the compensation to the land owners had led to protests in January 2019, bringing the construction works to a halt. Work could not be completed on the 200-metre of government land (poramboke) also. The bridge construction can resume only after the land owners have received the compensation.
The land to be acquired from two owners in Valiyazheekal would be used to build the approach road on the northern end. The four pieces of land to be acquired in Azheekal are also for constructing the approach road from the southern end. Once the approach road is laid, construction materials can be transported easily via road. The materials are currently being brought to the site through waterway from the harbour. This costs more labour and time.
The bridge when completed will span 1,200 metre, including the approach road. Estimated at a cost of Rs 140 crore, 65 per cent of the construction work has been completed so far.
The deadline for completing the bridge construction is December 2020.

iPad 5 weight
Earlier this year, guessing the iPad mini's weight based on weight/volume of other devices.
What might the next iPad 5 weigh?
The current iPad mini is 0.93 oz/in³.
Assuming the iPad 5 was the same height of 9.5", but was narrower with about the same on the sides as the iPad mini for a width of 6.5". And thinner, the same as the iPad mini at 0.28".
Using the same weight/volume number: That ends up with a weight of just about exactly 1 pound = (16 oz = 453 grams).
To compare, the current iPad 3/4 is 1.44 pounds, and the still selling iPad 2 is 1.33 pounds (and the iPad mini is 0.68 pounds), so that's considerably lighter even if I'm off by a few percent. Nice.

Nintendo has another problem: kids today don't have the same connection to Nintendo's big characters.
I keep forgetting to ask my nieces if they've even heard of Mario. Maybe him, but I doubt they'd have heard of any other of Nintendo's big characters and franchises. (Even if they have, the connection playing the characters in Mario Kart a few times isn't the same.)
But they've definitely heard of Angry Birds and all the other big iPhone games and characters. That's who they have on t-shirts and hats and things.
Just like many of Nintendo's sales today, they're going to grow up and want to play new games with the characters from their childhood. And that won't be Nintendo's.

Dad & MLK
My dad wrote this because my Nephew had asked for Martin Luther King Jr. day and dad emailed out to everybody in the family...but it's good for everyone else to see.
Background: In the spring of 1965, following an attack on some civil rights demonstrators, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. broadcast a national call for clergy and seminary students to join him in Selma, Alabama. It was a call that struck many sympathetic chords among the students at Chicago Theological Seminary, where I was a student. For some students there seemed to be no question that they would go to Selma, while other students decided not to go. Sue and I talked a lot with Betty and Gary Massoni about whether he and I should go. Because final exams were coming up, one of my concerns was whether going would mean that I would fail the exams and, in effect, waste an entire term/year of graduate study. Finally, responding to Dr. King's call to support those working for racial justice overshadowed my educational worries. I have never regretted my decision. (And I passed all my exams when they came around later that spring also)
Because we had a VW bus which would hold more people than anybody else's car, that was one of the transportation vehicles. Jesse Jackson was a member of my class at CTS, drove a Chevy Corvair which would only seat four people, but since he was going, his was the second car. Gary Massoni and I shared driving the "bus" from Chicago to Selma except for a few miles that another fellow drove who didn't know how to work the "four-on-the-floor" and who I relieved after only a few miles of jerky driving that I was afraid might wreck the transmission before we could even get to Alabama. There were ten or eleven of us from CTS who went. The group included one woman student and Arnulf Kraft, an already ordained Lutheran minister from Berlin, Germany, who along with his wife Mona, was taking one year of study at the seminary.
Digression: Following their year at CTS, the Krafts borrowed our camping equipment and traveled to the west coast. They showed up on my parents' doorstep in order to meet them. Arnulf told me later that he didn't expect my father to be so tall. We kept in contact with them following their return to Berlin and visited them there, along with Nancy, following my intern year in Scotland. Their son Jakob lived with us in Ephrata for one year as a high school student. We still exchange Christmas cards/letters with them and Jakob has been back to visit us several times. He also calls us via the telephone at least once a year.)
Jesse drove his car leaving Chicago until we crossed the "Mason-Dixon" line into the "south." Because the other three people in his car were white, one of them now drove and Jesse sat in the back seat. He or someone else had told us that if Jesse had been in the front seat, at least as a passenger, that they would have been pulled over by the highway police. Lastly, one of the seminary professors gave us his gasoline credit card to use on the trip down and back.
Now to the pictures.
1. Brown Chapel, where we met for a "service/rally" before lining up in the street. This happened a couple times each day. When the service/rally was finished, we all lined up, five or six people wide. We walked perhaps a block or so before those at the front of the line, led by Dr. King along with Ralph Abernathy, Howard Schomer (CTS president), and other more nationally know people, were confronted with the street blocked by police cars, three wide, covering the entire next block and fronted by policemen standing nearly shoulder to shoulder holding batons/billy clubs. At that point everyone stopped and waited while the leaders spoke with the officers. Eventually everyone was asked to kneel and someone up front said a prayer. Then we continued to stand or sit and talked with each other, sharing our fears that the police would attack as they had other demonstrators, and sharing our hopes that our presence would bring some small step forward for racial justice. After being in the street for from one to perhaps three hours, and not being allowed move forward, we were dismissed until we gathered again in Brown Chapel. I spent most of my time with Gary Massoni and Steve Davidson, both of whom, along with David Wallace (who now also lives in Spokane) and a neighborhood woman, are in one of the later pictures. The waiting on the street in front of or near Brown Chapel also included some night time vigils as well.
2. Inside Brown Chapel, an African Methodist Episcopal Church. In the middle of the picture you can pick out Martin Luther King, Jr speaking/preaching, encouraging everyone as only he could do.
3. In the middle of this crowd, with his head tilted back, is a Jewish Rabbi. Dr. King's call was not limited to Christian ministers; all faith traditions responded to his appeal and to his leading.
4. The four of us mentioned in my comment about the first picture in this list. This may be a good time for me to mention that everyone who had a clerical collar, or could borrow one, were encouraged to wear it so that the people and authorities in Selma could more easily recognize us as clergy. Dr. King called for clergy to come because I am convinced that he thought the police would be less apt to attack clergy than other demonstrators. Gary had a clerical collar (not wearing it in this picture but he did later) but I never found one to borrow. When we were not in line, we were free to walk about in the black neighborhood; hence the picture on this woman's front porch. Needless to say, we felt much safer in the black part of town and we did not venture out of that neighborhood alone or even in small groups.
5. Jesse Jackson is standing behind the woman whose name I cannot remember; don't think I ever learned. In the middle is Ralph Abernathy, a close colleague of Dr. King. The other man I also recognize but neither Sue nor I can remember his name; but he was another civil rights leader.
6 The avowed goal of our "march" was to walk from the black neighborhood, across the bridge that led into downtown Selma, gather at the steps of the courthouse, kneel in prayer led by Dr. King, and disperse. It took four days before the authorities allowed us to do that. This picture was taken as we were finally allowed to cross the bridge leading into town with police officers lining the route. I thought the sign in the background was wonderfully ironic.
7. I said earlier that Dr. King's call was responded to not only by Christian clergy -- the Jewish Rabbi -- but not only by Protestant clergy either. These two Roman Catholic nuns dressed in their habits so that they could also be more easily identified. I also have a picture of another sister who was wearing a different style habit; obviously from another order.
8. This sign, nailed to a telephone pole near the chapel, says that everyone had to "register" their name, address, phone number, and who to contact...in case we were injured or worse. While I was aware of the potential danger...I had seen the TV reports of the attack which precipitated Dr. King's call...this sign brought that possibility more forcefully to my attention than anything else.
Conclusion: After four days of chapel services, standing in line but not moving forward, wandering around the black neighborhood/ghetto, and sleeping on the grass beside the VW bus, our assemblage was given permission to cross the bridge into downtown Selma. Following the long-awaited march and its concluding prayer on the courthouse steps...the leaders/prayers were on the steps, the rest of us were gathered in the area before the steps...our CTS group decided that there was nothing more that we could do and decided to head back to Chicago.
Gary and I again traded off driving the VW bus which had eight people in it. We drove through the night but Gary was so exhausted that he went to sleep and I could not wake him. So I drove most of the way and over the the last several hours I was so tired from the release of the pressures and worries being in Selma, and the sleeping fitfully on the ground, that I experienced hallucinations while driving, even when we finally reached the interstate highway and all its lights leading into Chicago.
Some of our group went to bed and didn't go to class that day. But I went to class...don't remember which one...took a page or two of notes on the professor's comments. But when I looked at them the next day or so, I was unable to make any sense of anything. Sue, Betty, Gary and I also talked together, Gary and I relating everything we could remember about our experience, and our wives telling about their concerns for our safety. We have about eight hours of commentary on a reel-to-reel tape. Sue has told me that she had a radio on her desk at work and stopped everything when anything about what was happening in Selma during those days came on the air.
After returning, I wrote a long letter to my parents and to Sue's parents explaining why it was important for me to have gone to Selma. They both got my letter published in their local newspapers.
Lastly, I now liken my experience in Selma to the musical of Les Miserables. Many, me included before I knew better, thought the barricade scene toward the end was part of the French Revolution. Then I learned that it came before the Revolution began, a sort of prelude to it. Similarly, the Selma march that I participated in was a sort of prelude to the Selma to Montgomery march that Dr. King led later.
Addendum, in an email about posting this up from my mom:
We showed the prints of the pictures at church yesterday and Hope [my niece, 9] helped me lay them on a table. I told her the pictures were almost 50 years old and she said, "but they are in color".
Skeuomorphicless (apps that don't look like things.)
Good post. I wondered how it might change some of our apps.
We've got a 2 player poker game (iPhone, iPad) and we've spent a lot of effort to make it look and play like real cards.
I wondered how it might look in a "flat" type UI. I didn't do everything in the UI itself, since in a flat UI there's usually gestures too. You'd drag over from your stack towards the bet to increase the bet, and drag up from the bet to the pot to make your bet.
The card actions would be like they are in our game now, drag the cards up to fold. The iPad app has more space so shows your stack, dragging that up goes all-in, which would work with this too.
I'm sure a real designer could do better, but I think in some cases like this the realistic look will win. (Probably because it's a game and cards are flat real-world items.) Looking at the realistic picture, I know it's a card game immediately.
Updated since I got thinking how other games or apps might be done.
Bejeweled.
Internet, GO! What would other games look like in this style?
Widgets Worth Revisiting.
I'd done another guess back in 2011, but this way from earlier this year is better. Since iOS 7 is surely in progress right now, maybe someone will see it in time :)
Any Widget-able app would act like a folder does now. When tapped it slides open and shows some details in a square area. Just like a folder, tapping outside the area closes it. Moving and deleting would work exactly like a normal app icon. No new UI to learn at all.
The widget area would be a normal UIView, so it could scroll or do pages--anything an app can do, only limited to a 320x320 point square.
The app could add an "Open" button to itself that opened the app full screen as it does now. That leaves the UI entirely up to the app: Weather could be as it is in the picture, iMessage could read or send from there, Facebook could post, Instagram could take pictures, you could play any number of games in a nice square area, anything.
Updated, Jan 2, 2013:
UI Widgets could be triggered by other parts in the iPhone system as well, and direct to different "widgeted" parts of the app. For example an email app could have a widgeted "Reply" function for its new mail notification. A quick cut-and-paste:
The UI could be much better--replace the notification message with the Cancel/Send stuff at the least.
Each app could define its own widget bits, and what a notification action triggered. Facebook could allow replying to a post or message, SMS could reply, some games like chess could even let you make your next move.
The same function could work right on the lock screen too.

Over the years, I've built a lot of programs...

Harborview Ambulatory Center Brooklyn VA Medical Center
This project included a master plan to upgrade the existing buildings to meet federal seismic codes and the design of a new Ambulatory Center. Urbahn's design of the new outpatient pavilion consolidates all outpatient services into a new building linked to the existing inpatient hospital. The autonomy of the two-story structure is announced upon arrival through its prominent entry, separate and distinct from the abutting 1950s hospital tower. The first floor supports primary care, with over 100 exam rooms grouped into four zones. The design stresses clear wayfinding through rational and simple circulation patterns, bold signage and singular placemaking. For example, each exam module includes its own patio with unique outdoor vistas. Specialized clinics are located on the second floor. Records, radiology, and support spaces are located in the basement. We designed interstitial mechanical floors to facilitate change, and designed the structure to support an additional two floors.
