Supersymmetry is one of the most popular of the speculative ideas that theorists have proposed to understand the puzzle known as the hierarchy problem. It has many wonderful features, ranging from mathematical beauty to its potential ability to explain other puzzles in particle physics, such as the nature of dark matter. It also has a number of uncomfortable features too, so you shouldn't get the impression that it's all roses. But still, supersymmetry is a very, very good idea. In this article I'll review the main search for supersymmetry at the LHC, and describe you what we know (and don't know) so far.
Supersymmetry predicts that for each type of known particle (and Higgs particle), there must be another particle, its superpartner, that shares many of the particle's features. But because supersymmetry is not exact, and is instead hidden from view ("broke"), the superpartners are all rather heavy. And as there are many ways this hiding ("breaking") can occur, supersymmetry in a realistic form does not predict what the superparticle masses are. So in principle the experimentalists have to consider all possible variants of supersymmetry, where in each variant the superparticles have different masses. Fortunately, they don't have to look everywhere. First, we know the superpartners aren't very light, or we would have found them already. And second, if supersymmetry is in fact the solution of the hierarchy problem, the superpartners of the known particles must not be too much heavier than 1 TeV = 1000 GeV! Keep this number in mind, for later reference!
In the new data from the first half of 2011, scientists with the ATLAS and CMS experiments have mainly been seeking supersymmetry using a technique detailed in this earlier article on the standard way to look for supersymmetry at the LHC. To summarize that article, the experiments look for a surprising number of proton-proton collisions which show
signs of multiple quarks, antiquarks, or gluons carrying very high energy (and appearing in a detector as high-energy jets, or sprays of particles)
signs of undetected particles recoiling against these jets (an effect often mis-termed "missing energy", for historical reasons.)
They may also require that the events have charged leptons and/or anti-leptons — 1, 2, or more than 2.
An example of what they are looking for in their detectors is sketched in Fig. 1; see this article, Figs. 2–5. You see two jets heading up and to the right, while nothing visible recoils against them. A signal of supersymmetry might involve finding more events of this type in the data than were expected from known processes.
Fig. 1: A collision creating two high-energy quarks and two invisible particles might look like this to the ATLAS or CMS detectors, which would see two jets (sprays of particles) from the quarks, along with evidence that something invisible must have recoiled against them.
This isn't easy, because many collisions look just like Fig. 1 but have nothing to do with supersymmetry. The experimentalists are looking for a small signal within a very large background. (As discussed in some detail in this earlier article [on current hints of the Higgs particle]: A "signal" is the thing you're looking for. "Background" is everything else that resembles your signal and makes it difficult for you to find it. )
An example of a background that would look similar to the signal in Fig. 1 would be a collision that makes high-energy quarks, anti-quarks or gluons, along with a Z particle that decays to a neutrino and an antineutrino, both of which pass unscathed through the detector; an example is shown on the right of Fig. 2. This and the signal process on the left both produce two jets recoiling against something undetectable, and show up looking like Fig. 1. (There is no reliable way to distinguish jets that come from quarks from those that come from antiquarks or gluons; nor can anything distinguish one particle that leaves no trace from a different one.)
Fig. 2: Two different processes that both produce two jets and missing energy, as in Fig. 1--- left, a supersymmetric signal: pair production of squarks (superpartners of quarks), and right, an ordinary background: a quark and a gluon, plus a Z decaying to a neutrino and anti-neutrino. Looking at Fig. 1, one cannot know which process was responsible.
Unfortunately the background on the right is far more common than the signal on the left, so one can't easily tell whether the signal is present just by looking for collisions that look like Fig. 1. But fortunately the Standard Model is well-known and its equations can be used to predict the background. Though the calculations are hard and the proton is complicated, we can do a pretty good job of predicting the rate for the background and fixing any leftover uncertainties using the data. There are other sources of background too — mainly detector imperfections — that are tougher to control. The experimentalists have to work very hard to make sure they have identified all sources of potential problems.
Fig 3: The number of events, as a function of missing energy, in a data set consisting (oversimplifying!) of events with 2 or more jets and some missing energy. Notice the numbers on the vertical axis, which jump by tens! The grey represents mainly imperfect measurements, the red represents the process at the right of Fig. 2. Black triangular dots are data points (with vertical bars representing statistical uncertainties.) In pink is the signal from a variant of supersymmetry, which should give one event per bin between around 250 and 500; but only 3 events are seen above 350, so this variant is excluded by the data.
To get a sense of how hard this problem is, look at Fig. 3, taken from a study by CMS on the 2010 data. In grey is an estimate of the effect of detector mis-measurements, in red the estimated effect of the background shown in Fig. 2. The black triangular dots are the data, showing good agreement with the background estimate — the experimentalists have done their job well. Notice the scale on the vertical axis — it is logarithmic [each numbered tick-mark represents a number 10 times larger than the previous]. 10 with a 5 superscript is 100,000, so many of the bins at left have tens of thousands of events, while others in the middle have just 1. [Where the numbers are less than 1, an average is implied; thus 0.1 events in a bin means that in ten identical experiments, nine would see 0 events and one would see 1 event in that bin.] In pink is the size and shape of a hypothetical signal that a particular variant of supersymmetry, with a particular choice of superpartner masses, would have generated if it were present. Notice it would have added 1 or 2 events in almost every bin from around 250 GeV to about 500 GeV — in other words, out in this part of the plot the background is small and the signal could have been detected. But since nothing like that is seen in Fig. 3 — most of those bins have zero events — this variant of supersymmetry, along with many others which would show up similarly, is excluded by this graph.
Results presented at the Euro-Physics conference of July 2011 (we will see what happens at the conferences of late August) indicate that neither ATLAS nor CMS yet sees signs of excess events of this type. Nor do they see anything in their other searches for supersymmetry. The analysis of the 2011 data means that many variants of supersymmetry that were not excluded previously are now ruled out.
Fig. 4: The Standard Model particles and their superpartners in a realistic variant of supersymmetry. Heavy particles are at the top of the page. Squarks and gluinos, at right, are often taken (assumption 3) to be the heaviest superpartners, decaying spectacularly to lighter ones, including the invisible (assumption 1) neutralino (assumption 2).
In particular, if a variant of supersymmetry has either the gluinos or squarks — the partners of the gluons and quarks, placed at upper right in Fig. 4 (from this article on supersymmetry) — with masses around or below 800 to 1000 GeV, then that variant has now probably been excluded. (Many caveats, see below.) This is a major advance over what we knew in March from the 2010 data set. As you may remember from earlier in this article (3rd paragraph), this mass range is viewed by most theorists as the sweet spot for supersymmetry! The 2011 LHC results are putting this sweet spot under pressure.
So supersymmetry might seem to be in considerable trouble with LHC data. Yes… well… this statement isn't false, but it requires a big caveat. It is true, as long as the three assumptions detailed in this article on how to look for supersymmetry are correct (see in particular Figure 6 and the surrounding discussion). The assumptions are
in any process, the number of superpartners can only change by an even number;
the lightest superpartner [which is stable, by assumption 1] is a superpartner of a particle we know (and therefore, to avoid conflict with other data, an undetectable neutralino or sneutrino);
the superpartners that are affected by the strong nuclear force are significantly heavier than the other superpartners of known particles.
While these assumptions are true in the variants of supersymmetry most popular among particle physicists (especially in Europe), and these variants have seen a significant tightening of the noose, we should resist the temptation to make an unjustifiable logical jump to a statement that "supersymmetry, as a theory that solves the hierarchy problem, is now pretty much ruled out". One should always be cautious in moving from a restricted empirical observation to a general, existential claim about nature.
Instead, we ought to say what we mean: "Data now significantly constraints certain variants of supersymmetry." Should one of the assumptions listed above prove false, a broad conclusion now about the absence of supersymmetry will look pretty naive in hindsight. Unfortunately such conclusions are being drawn, even back in March, and more recently (though the original version was partially repaired after I objected), by very intelligent and influential experimentalists. Well. It seems to me that we should be patient and avoid drawing conclusions, and inadvertently creating headlines, that are not warranted by the data.
You may well ask about variants of supersymmetry that violate one or more of the three assumptions above. How seriously should we take such variants? How constrained are they by current searches at the LHC? The LHC has certainly made a dent in some of them… But that's yet another article, to come soon. For now you can look here to learn about what can happen when one of those three assumptions is relaxed.

Dr strassler I hope you are in good health , I would like to ask a question keeps coming to my mind quit frequently , and i hope you answer it to me , since we can receive all types of signals from the universe why can not we receive anything that confirms exactly what happened at the moment this universe was born? and why there is nothing coming from the universe that talks about any possible past universes ? and please pardon my language .
best regards .

Your question is a good one. The issues are (a) whether anything that we can actually measure carries information about the distant past, and (b) whether any process that occurred between the early universe and the present might have erased or scrambled the information beyond recovery.
One problem for us is that the universe was so hot and dense during the Big Bang that it erased much of the information that we might have obtained from that extremely early period. The period of inflation that may have preceded the hot dense period (see below) erased information even more effectively. However, that said, we're actually doing pretty well
1) The cosmic background microwave radiation (the cold photons left over from the hot Big Bang) tells us a lot about what the universe was doing 100,000 years after the Big Bang
2) If we could measure the cosmic microwave neutrinos (which is a problem of practice, not one of principle — no one has figured out how to do it) that would tell us more details about what the universe was doing just a few minutes after the Big Bang.
3) By studying the bumps and wiggles in the distribution of the microwave radiation across the sky, and studying a few other properties of the current universe, we can infer, by running Einstein's equations for the universe backward in time, something about what was happening from 100,000 years back to a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang began. This is the period at the end of inflation, which probably occurred in the Universe's history (though this is not yet certain), during which the universe was cold and expanding at a spectacular rate, and following which the universe became hot and dense, and continued expanding more slowly. Not surprisingly, however, the further we go back, the more assumptions we have to make, and the less sure we are of our understanding.
4) Eventually we may understand the inflationary period well enough to be confident that we have the right equations for it (or perhaps, we'll replace inflation with a more correct history.) Maybe that understanding will permit us to go back further, but until we have it, there's no way to know.
As I understand it, information can be very twisted or mangled, but it cannot be destroyed, which happens to be a consequence of information entropy (which is just a particular form that the general law of entropy has regarding information).
It is clear that information from events way into the past of our Universe are really twisted and mangled by the high energies involved during the initial moments of the Big Bang, and that the process of inflation did not help with this either, at the same time we cannot assume that the information is not "out there", even though it could be really distorted in such a way that we do not comprehend well (yet).
After all, this very same argument is what proved Stephen Hawking wrong regarding entropy within black holes.

I do agree with all of the concepts you have introduced for your post.
They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts
are too brief for novices. May just you please extend them a
bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

Tales of the . . . Cast! Meet Richard Poe
Meet Richard Poe, who plays Edgar Halcyon. Click here to read his official bio.
Check back tomorrow to meet another member of the cast of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City: A New Musical!
NAME Richard Poe.
CHARACTER Edgar Halcyon.
HOMETOWN Pittsburg, California.
FIRST THEATER EXPERIENCE Playing Scrooge in the eighth grade (magnificent!).
FAVORITE THEATER EXPERIENCE Hard to choose. Journey's End on Broadway: nine guys in a dark World War I dugout talking for two and a half hours, and everyone dies . . . then winning every available award in New York, including the Easter bonnet competition. 1776 on Broadway: more guys, more talking, more light, same result. Cyrano de Bergerac at A.C.T. in 1973, playing Second Musician/Third Cadet, being a novice in the middle of all that wonderfulness. There's more. Just ask me.
FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH TALES I lived in San Francisco until about 1977 (graduated from the University of San Francisco [USF] and started acting at A.C.T.). I had never read the books until this show came up. What a walk down memory lane! I had no money then and was always scrambling for odd jobs, but what a city! It's really exciting and a little unnerving to come back for a while—like I'll see my old self passing in the street.
HOW ARE YOU LIKE EDGAR? Though I'm told in the business that I have a patrician quality, I'm pretty far from the manor born. But I like to think I can fake it when need be, and Edgar knows he's been faking it when he realizes his number's up and that he's denied himself so much. I have lots of me that would like to bust loose in new ways. I just hope I don't suffer Edgar's plight before I do it.
FAVORITE MUSICAL Sweeney Todd; 1776; The Drowsy Chaperone.
FAVORITE SONG TO SING Whatever's in my head driving me crazy at the time: "My One and Only Love"; "Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)"; "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."
EDUCATION B.A. from USF; M.A. candidate at UC Davis. Some acting gurus: Erich Morris, Milton Katselas, Lee Strasberg.
PERFORMANCE RITUAL Pre-: stretch, vocal warm-up, speaking the entire first scene aloud (don't ask me why—it's a habit of 15 years that I can't break for superstitious reasons). Post-: whatcha got?
FAVORITE '70s WARDROBE ITEM Having witnessed the '70s, I once owned a pair of shimmering blue velveteen pants. Hell in the rain.

TOM STILL
Still: North Dakota protests hit close to home
Protests aimed at blocking construction of the North Dakota Access Pipeline have embroiled American Indian tribes, the Obama administration, the courts, environmentalists and industry groups in a fight that may seem far removed from life here in Wisconsin.
If only that were true.
With a constancy that goes unnoticed by most people, crude and refined oil flows past us every minute, hour and day. Millions of barrels move to and through Wisconsin daily via a mix of transportation modes that carry with them varying degrees of risk and efficiency.
Public perceptions of risk matter at a time when the flow of oil from Canada, Alaska and the Dakotas remains high — and when 15% of the nation's crude oil imports are passing through a major terminal in Superior, Wis., on the way south and east.
Oil spills of any kind generate headlines and public concern. Whether the source is a transoceanic tanker, a river barge, rail cars, underground pipelines or trucks, major spills pose problems for people, wildlife, water and the land.
All of those transit systems are used routinely across the United States. Rail and truck shipments remain relatively small as a share of the total but have increased sharply in recent years. Pipeline transport has grown steadily and tanker shipments have declined.
Analysts agree none of those modes will go away so long as there's a demand for oil. Most environmentalists regard the oil transport debate as "picking your poison," but other experts who have weighed the pro and cons agree some forms of transport are safer and more efficient than others.
A Wall Street Journal analysis in September 2015 noted that pipelines delivered about 58% of the nation's oil supply in 2014, boats about 37% and rail and trucks just under 3% each.
Because trains and trucks often pass through urban or heavily traveled areas, they pose more risk per barrel transported — as evidenced by fiery train derailments in Quebec and Virginia. Tankers and barges can carry much more oil, but the potential for a massive spill is proportionately higher and water is notoriously hard to clean.
Pipelines don't spill as often as other forms of transport. In fact, a major industry association claims a 99.999% safe-delivery rate. When pipelines do spill, however, they can unleash major amounts of oil if not caught in time.
That's what happened with the 2010 Enbridge spill in Michigan's Kalamazoo River, an accident that prompted a cleanup and a historic fine. It also led to massive investments elsewhere in pipeline replacement, repair and monitoring technologies. This summer, an administrator for the federal Environmental Protection Agency gave the Kalamazoo River's spill zone a clean bill of health.
"We found absolutely no evidence of the oil spill, and when I say no evidence I don't mean just the oil if you put your paddle in the water you're not going to get anything; I mean if you're looking at the banks, all that reconstruction work, you're not going to see any oil. It looks natural, that habitat has been absolutely restored," said the EPA's Robert Kaplan.
With five pipelines and 400 employees and contractors in Wisconsin, Enbridge is easily the largest oil transport company operating in the state. Its Superior terminal receives 2.3 million barrels of crude oil per day and can store up to 9.5 million barrels on site. Existing Wisconsin pipelines cover 1,552 miles and planned upgrades will modernize a significant portion of the system.
People who don't live near oil pipelines usually don't know the extent of the system, but those who live or work within range of a line likely do, even if it's largely underground. Enbridge recently asked Sunseed Research LLC, a Madison public opinion firm, to assess how people in both camps view the risks and rewards.
About 63% of the general public surveyed by Sunseed viewed pipelines as the safest way to transport oil, compared with 73% of those who lived in one of four communities adjacent to pipelines (Jefferson, Hayward, Marshfield and Portage) and 80% of the landowners who live along pipeline right-of-ways. With familiarity apparently comes some measure of confidence.
Those same demographic groups ranked Great Lakes ships and barges, rail shipments and truck transport as generally less safe than pipelines, a finding that mirrors some national views.
No system of transporting oil is foolproof or even close. Until society's need for oil goes away, however, investing in transportation systems that pose the least risk to people and the environment is the safer bet.

This picture is inspired by a combination of interests of mine. What it essentially depicts is the legendary leyline known as the St Michael Line thought to run from the southwestern tip of Cornwall in a straight line across Southern Britain passing through a great number of sacred sites dedicated to St Michael. There are in fact two lines, commonly called 'Michael and Mary' which intertwine and meet at significant energy spots on the way, some of which are depicted here. I have chosen to show these locations as the axis of a chakra system of the body. In this case St Michael's Mount in Cornwall is displayed as the crown chakra, Glastonbury is the heart, Bury St Edmunds Cathedral is the red base chakra etc. The chakra system is borrowed from Eastern mysticism as is the yogic pose the angel Michael reclines in. Acrylic on canvas (18in x 24in).
Thank you, the positions are approximate and not definitive, of course all the chakras (besides the crown and base) have front and backs to them. It was more about conveying the idea than being exact, but glad you liked it!

Ronnie Spector, rock icon behind 'Be My Baby' and ex of Phil Spector, dead at 78
Ronnie Spector, the powerhouse vocalist and teenage protegé behind the 60s rock band the Ronettes, died on Wednesday at 78.
"Our beloved earth angel, Ronnie, peacefully left this world today," her family wrote in a statement, adding that the star lost a brief battle with cancer. "She was with family and in the arms of her husband, Jonathan."
"Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humor and a smile on her face. She was filled with love and gratitude," they continued.
"Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her."
Spector, born Veronica Yvette Bennett in 1943, was known for singing hits including "Be My Baby," "Baby I Love You" and "Walking in the Rain."
Her trademark beehive and unapologetic bad-girl swagger made waves in the music industry when the rock group first hit the airwaves in 1963.
"We weren't afraid to be hot. That was our gimmick," Spector wrote in her memoir. "When we saw The Shirelles walk on stage with their wide party dresses, we went in the opposite direction and squeezed our bodies into the tightest skirts we could find. Then we'd get out on stage and hike them up to show our legs even more."
The Ronettes: Veronica Bennett, Estelle Bennett and Nedra Talley.
The group's first album, 1964's "Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica," was an instant hit, with five of its 12 tracks making it to the top of the US Billboard charts.
In 1968, after the Ronettes split, she married Phil Spector, the Wall of Sound producer behind the group's hits.
"When I was working with Phil Spector, watching him create in the recording studio, I knew I was working with the very best," she recently wrote on Instagram. "He was in complete control, directing everyone. So much to love about those days. Meeting him and falling in love was like a fairytale. The magical music we were able to make together, was inspired by our love. I loved him madly, and gave my heart and soul to him."
But Ronnie, who has spoken in depth about abuse and vindictiveness she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband before and after their 1974 divorce, also referenced the bad times.
"As I said many times while he was alive, he was a brilliant producer, but a lousy husband. Unfortunately Phil was not able to live and function outside of the recording studio. Darkness set in, many lives were damaged. I still smile whenever I hear the music we made together, and always will. The music will be forever. Phil Spector 1939-2021," she wrote.
Ronnie, who was married to Phil for six years, has previously accused him of pulling a gun on her, forcing her to sign a divorce settlement that reportedly cut her out of future records earning, and even lobbying the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to not induct her.
The couple had three adopted children — Donté Phillip and twins, Louis and Gary. Phil was later sent to prison in 2009 for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson. He died in 2020.
In 1982, she married her manager Jonathan Greenfield and had two sons, Austin Drew and Jason Charles.

Fans immediately paid tribute to her life and legacy on Twitter. One wrote, "Ronnie Spector. A rock and roll hero. A total badass. A survivor who took back her power. My admiration for her runs deep. May she Rest in Power."
Another added, "Deeply saddened to hear that we lost Ronnie Spector today. She made pop music much cooler than it was, influenced everyone from Amy Winehouse to Missy Elliot. With the Ronettes, Ronnie smashed the girl group mold/allowed inspiring acts like Labelle to soar. #RonnieSpector #RIP."
"In lieu of flowers, Ronnie requested that donations be made to your local women's shelter or to the American Indian College Fund," her family said in the statement. "A celebration of Ronnie's life and music will be announced in the future. The family respectfully asks for privacy at this time."

Andrew Browne :: Interview at Ginza and Yurakucho
The main streets of Ginza are ritzy and vibrant; lining them are department stores with storied histories, and flagship storefronts for leading fashion brands. The buildings here stand like sentinels of wealth—symbols of a rich, extravagant location, and one of the one of the most expensive streets in the world.
But when I asked illustrator Andrew Browne what interested him about the place, it was the contrast—it was the way this historic, rich, and extravagant locale hid behind it a different kind of life, and a different kind of lifestyle.
"The reason behind it," he said, "is, there's Ginza, which I like, but it's very ritzy, it's very clean, and [there are] lots of people in suits. It's very sort of commercial and business oriented. But then just a few blocks away you come to Yurakucho which has some very old sort of post-war izakayas and bars. It's quite dirty actually, and I just love that difference; that juxtaposition."
We walked the nighttime streets, and headed for Yurakucho. Around us, groups of tourists and locals alike enjoyed a night out on the town.
Andrew continued, "And to me that kind of embodies a lot of what Tokyo is: you have this new, commercial aspect of life, but then you also have this old, dirty rundown part of the city. And that new-plus-old, that idea is very interesting to me, where you can walk around a city, and you can go from luxury brands to old temples or old houses, rundown buildings, etcetera."
We stopped at the Yurakucho Concourse, at a restaurant under the JR train lines. Movie posters from decades past covered the walls. The sounds of rowdy chatter and clinking beer glasses echoed out into the street with the smell of Japanese napolitan pasta.
Andrew found a spot by the wall, and he started sketching.
"My main style," he said, "is drawing in ballpoint pen. And using very thin lines with ballpoint pen to create lots of layers and to create lots of detail."
Andrew's recent work, done by the name of Monomizer, is a collection of hyper detailed illustrations that blend American and Japanese pop-culture with idols and Buddha statues. There's something of a blurring of the lines in it—between past and present—that feels very much a part of the Ginza, and Tokyo experience.
"The thing that I really enjoy about it," he said, "is that the process is so meditative. One drawing will take a week or so to finish. And that entails going over the same areas over and over again in different layers, and really trying to capture light and that sort of thing. And the process just of my hands on the pen and the paper… I really enjoy it. It's kind of where I'm the happiest, honestly."
I watched Andrew sketch, and I thought about the places we'd walked and the things we'd seen. I got the sense he'd found a spot containing the very essence of what he wanted to express – a slice of the past, hiding beneath one of the most modern and efficient public transportation systems in the world.
New and old, clean and dirty, rich and poor—all of it was a picture of Tokyo.

Castle of Illusion and DuckTales: Remastered are on sale for Rs.65 on Google Play ($0.99)
Ashwin Android, News
Castle of Illusion and DuckTales: Remastered, two of the finest platformers available for Android devices are on sale for Rs.65 on the Google Play Store.
Just a reminder to all, Disney's Castle of Illusion, was recently de-listed from Steam (existing owners can download it and play), but you can't buy the game anymore. The removal of the Steam version, happened when SEGA's rights for the game expired. So it may be wise to get the game from the Play Store.
DuckTales: Remastered, on the other hand, is still available on Steam, and you may want to get that version instead. The Steam 2016 Winter Sale starts on December 22nd, so you don't have to wait long for a discount.
Or you can get it for your Android device if you can't wait.
Buy DuckTales: Remastered from Google Play for Rs. 65 ($0.99) and Castle of Illusion on the Google Play Store, which is on sale for the same price.
If you have a copy of the NES version of DuckTales, or the SEGA Megadrive/Genesis version of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, you can emulate the game on your Android device, and play the games in their pixelated original graphics.

The NBA is Ruining David Harrison's High
by SLAM Staff January 24, 2008
by Marcel Mutoni
The League and its players have clashed over many issues over the years. From the ridiculous dress code, the airbrushing of tattoos on the Association's official publication, and the hand-wringing over how players should behave on the court.
David Harrison, the Pacers' resident pothead young power forward, has yet another beef: Namely, the League's drug policy.
Quite simply, the man just wants the powers that be to leave him and his spliff alone.
"I don't understand how they have a right to look into our lives on any level besides performance-enhancing drugs.
"It's not a rule made by government and it's not a rule made by God; it's made by an organization (the NBA). I guess they feel it will benefit that organization."
I know, right? Can a guy get his smoke on in peace?
Besides, it's not like marijuana is bad for you. Totally natural; it comes from the earth, man.

Jets, Giants want new Meadowlands stadium to host 2014 Super Bowl
AP Workers install the FieldTurf at the new Meadowlands football stadium for the New York Giants and the New York Jets on Dec. 8 in East Rutherford, N.J.ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- You might need more than a ticket to go to the Super Bowl in 2014 -- try a winter coat, gloves and a hat.
The Giants and Jets want to bring the Super Bowl to their new 82,500-seat stadium in New Jersey in four years in what most certainly would be a chilly NFL title game. The $1.6 billion stadium set to open next year does not have a retractable roof or a dome.
"Some of the greatest games in NFL history have been played in cold weather, including our championship game in Green Bay two years ago," Giants chief executive John Mara said Thursday in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "So why not the Super Bowl? There is no better place than New York and New Jersey to showcase the premier sporting event in the world."
After receiving approval from a league committee to bid, the Giants and Jets announced on Thursday that they will submit a preliminary proposal to host the game by April 1.
The NFL owners' Super Bowl Advisory Committee allowed the bid despite the traditional requirement that host regions have a minimum temperature of 50 degrees or stadiums with domes or retractable roofs. The committee gave approval with the understanding that the bid represents a unique opportunity to celebrate the new stadium and the great heritage of the NFL in the New York region. No other cities have announced plans to bid on the game, although other contenders are expected.
Team owners will decide where the 2014 Super Bowl will be played in a vote at a league meeting in Dallas in May. The next four Super Bowls will be played in Miami, Dallas, Indianapolis and New Orleans.
NFL history is dotted with some remarkable cold-weather title games. The Giants beat the Packers 23-20 in overtime in the NFC title game on Jan. 21, 2008, in Green Bay, Wis., with the temperatures at minus-3 degrees (wind chill of minus-24).
Cincinnati beat San Diego 27-7 in the 1981 AFC title game known as the Freezer Bowl. The temperature in Ohio was minus-9, with 35 mph winds making it feel like minus-59. The one almost everyone remembers is the 1967 NFL title game known as the Ice Bowl in Green Bay. The Packers beat Dallas 21-17 in a game played with the temperature at minus-13 and a wind chill of minus-48.
"People still talk about what a great game that was," former Cowboys halfback Dan Reeves said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "The weather is something people talk about a lot. It was difficult to play in, don't get me wrong. But football is an outdoor sport and I loved to play outdoors. That's the way the game is supposed to be played and I would like to see that."
Reeves, who threw a 50-yard touchdown pass in the game, said some of the fan events associated with a Super Bowl might be limited by cold weather, which could be why the league has concerns.
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant thought a Super Bowl in cold weather might be worth a try.
"That would be stepping out (of) the box a little bit," he said Thursday. "That would be a little different. That could work. You've got to play in cold weather anyway, so most teams are used to it. That would be different for the Super Bowl."
A New York/New Jersey Super Bowl would generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity, and serve as a major boost for the area, creating hundreds of jobs related to staging the game, the teams said.
"It's time for the biggest game in football to be played on the biggest stage in the world," Jets owner Woody Johnson and Giants co-owner Jonathan Tisch said in a joint statement as chairmen of the bid committee. "We are confident that the appeal and prestige of the New York City metropolitan region, coupled with the innovative capabilities of our brand-new state-of-the-art facility, can provide a unique and exciting experience for the teams and fans, as well as the entire league and the sport of football."
The Jets are familiar with Super Bowl bids. When they were negotiating to build the West Side Stadium in Manhattan a few years ago, they had won the NFL bid to host the 2010 Super Bowl. That proposed stadium had a dome, but the Jets never got the OK to build it.
The new stadium will be the first constructed to serve as the home stadium of two NFL teams. It also holds the distinction of being the largest privately financed stadium in U.S. history.
The Super Bowl would join an impressive list of events scheduled for the new stadium, including college football matchups of Navy vs. Notre Dame and Army vs. Rutgers, and stops on the Bon Jovi and U2 world concert tours.
"Even though our stadium is months away from completion, with this bid, it is setting an early precedent of what's to come," said Steve Tisch, chairman and executive vice president of the Giants.
Highlights of the new stadium include four massive HD video display boards in each of the corners; a ribbon board that circles the interior bowl; HD monitors throughout the stadium; and 20 HD video pylons.
Outside the stadium, a 350,000-square-foot outdoor plaza will offer fan activities and pregame entertainment zones. A signature amenity will be a new rail line that drops off passengers in front of the stadium.

Stir fry has long been one of my favorite meals. Once we started a garden, this meal has gone from good to absolutely amazing! I started experimenting with what I could put in here from the garden and it has been fantastic! Each season there are different vegetables that can be added in to keep the flavor fresh and unique. This way you won't get tired of the same meal and be able to keep eating it! We discovered last season that we could eat broccoli and cabbage leaves and the addition of this is incredible- you will be shocked! The list can go on and on of the different ingredients from the garden you can use! Broccoli (including the leaves), cabbage leaves, onions, garlic, chives, peas, beans, carrots, cilantro, okra, peppers, spinach, kale… the list can go on and on! Be creative and throw a bunch of items from your garden in!
When I make this recipe, I make a lot extra so we can keep eating on it for the next couple days as well. It is always a big hit even with all the kids! I was actually told the other day by our "super-picky" eater that it was the best she had ever had!
LOTS OF garden vegetables in season you can also use frozen vegetables in this recipe as well, I have just found the fresh to taste especially good!
Once rice is finished, combine both to create the ultimate incredible stir fry and ENJOY!!

Formed in Bradford in 1980, New Model Army's beginnings were inspired by Northern Soul, Punk Rock and the incendiary atmosphere of the times. Since then, they have had a long, creative and eventful journey. They have been massively influential in 'post-punk', 'folk-rock', 'political-rock', 'goth', 'metal' and all kinds of musical sub-cultures but they have steadfastly refused to belong to any club or style.
They have been perfectly placed to withstand the changes in the Industry and have outlasted most of their peers - while maintaining a worldwide following and all without making a single artistic or commercial compromise.
Recent years have also seen a revival in the band's critical and commercial fortunes. The "Between Dog and Wolf" and "Between Wine and Blood" (2013/14) and "Winter" (2016) albums have all returned the band to the mainstream charts and they are currently working on a new project expected late summer 2019.
Originally formed as a three piece, the current five piece features Justin Sullivan on main vocal and guitar, Michael Dean on drums, Dean White on keyboards and guitar, Marshall Gill on guitar and Ceri Monger on bass.

9News investigations in 2019
As the new year approaches, we're taking a look back at some of the stories the 9News Investigators completed in 2019. Dozens of hours, public records requests, and conversations with sources and viewers made these stories possible. (Source: WAFB)
By Kevin Foster | December 26, 2019 at 5:01 PM CST - Updated December 30 at 10:44 AM
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - As the new year approaches, we're taking a look back at some of the stories the 9News Investigators completed in 2019. Dozens of hours, public records requests, and conversations with sources and viewers made these stories possible.
For some, these stories will bring you back to the moment they broke, many times first or exclusively on WAFB. For others, these stories will serve as an introduction to the tireless journalists who pursue the truth and hold power to account for our station and community.
Our investigative team can be contacted by email at investigators@wafb.com.
Please include any documents, photos, videos, text messages, law enforcement reports, or other relevant records as attachments to the e-mail you send. Your phone number and e-mail address are appreciated. In the email please tell us where and when the incident occurred.
Please also tell us if your tip is confidential and you wish to remain anonymous. The information you provide might be used in our broadcasts, online, or shared with our sister stations.
Be advised, in most cases, you will be asked to appear on camera. WAFB will not make or publish allegations on your behalf. In some cases, we are able to conceal your identity.
Also, be advised, our investigative team does not manage family law and child custody disputes, resolve civil disputes, or respond to criminal issues that haven't been reported to law enforcement.
1.) The Sheriff and The Sex Offender
Convicted sex offender seen working at the home of West Baton Rouge Sheriff's Home
Multiple state agencies launched investigations into West Baton Rouge Sheriff Mike Cazes amid a series of reports from an undercover investigation by the 9News Investigators showing an undocumented immigrant, serving time for a sex crime against a 13-year-old girl, working unsupervised at his home.
The sheriff later admitted he had the inmate dropped off at his house. He said the two of them then used a van owned by West Baton Rouge Parish to drive to Baton Rouge to pick up a baby crib for the sheriff's new grandchild. Then, they returned to the sheriff's home in Port Allen.
The Department of Corrections (DOC) investigated whether the sheriff broke any laws by having an inmate working at his home and by driving a parish van for personal use. DOC forwarded their findings to LSP, which cleared the sheriff of any wrongdoing despite the appearance of inconsistencies in some explanations.
Meanwhile, the FBI said, "This matter is still under review and information is being assessed. In accordance with FBI policy, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation."
2.) La. secretary of state accused of violating state law, endorsing other candidates; complaint filed
THE INVESTIGATORS: Complaint submitted, investigation into whether Secretary of State violated law possible
Amid a 9News Investigation, Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin's office for the first time responded to concerns he may have violated a law that prevents him from campaigning or endorsing other political candidates.
In a now-removed video posted to his Facebook account, Secretary Ardoin is shown saying "Louisiana will continue to win. We will win with Donald Trump," at a Republican rally in Monroe on Thursday, Nov. 7.
When WAFB first started asking questions about the alleged violation, a spokesman for Ardoin's campaign said no violation had occurred and the matter was a non-issue.
Other attempts to speak with Ardoin were not successful.
Later, WAFB would learn a citizen submitted an official complaint to the State Board of Ethics against Ardoin.
The board will now decide whether to move forward with an official investigation.
Following the news, Ardoin's office released an official response to the allegations, saying:
"I have always been committed to fair, accurate and secure elections. It is crystal clear that no law was broken by me campaigning for reelection at an event where I received the endorsement of the President of the United States. What is also clear is that an overwhelming majority of Louisiana voters believe in the job we are doing, and I am excited about four more years of serving the great state of Louisiana."
3.) LSP cadets injured in alleged of hazing, cheating scandal at training academy
9News Investigators: LSP Superintendent apologizes after cadets were injured at training academy
A hazing scandal involving Louisiana State Police Cadets was first reported by WAFB Monday, Oct. 14 after multiple cadets reportedly sought medical treatment for severe injuries, according to sources with knowledge of the circumstances that led to the injuries.
LSP Colonel Kevin Reeves later apologized to the cadets involved, as well as their families, and promised a full investigation
The 9News Investigators would later identify and review the backgrounds of the three Louisiana State Police (LSP) troopers transferred out of the LSP training academy after the alleged incident.
The 9News Investigators uncovered 1,833 weapon-related incidents reported in schools statewide in 2018, after which point, further reporting showed most of those incidents were documented in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS).
Amid the reports both members of law enforcement and school system officials addressed concerns raised by parents and provided updates on several guaranteed initiatives to create safer schools.
4.) Legislative Auditor launches investigation into Livingston tax assessor after 9News report
KIRAN: Legislative Auditor launches investigation into Livingston tax assessor
The Louisiana Legislative Auditor launched an investigation into the Livingston Parish Tax Assessor's office after a 9News report showed allegations from a former employee of the assessor suggested he was valuing properties based on his likings or dislikings of the owner or whether they were a campaign contributor.
The 9News Investigators looked through the assessor's campaign contributions and tracked specific contributors to their properties in Livingston Parish.
In one example, we found a home had not changed value in 17 years. In another example, we found a property's value increased 173% amid a lawsuit between Taylor and the homeowner's company.
Other allegations include the assessor or supervisors in his office telling employees to issue double homesteads for a single-family and the 9News Investigators did find an example of that, specifically with the assessor's attorney.
5.) Flambeau Fest fallout takes toll on ticketholders, taxpayers
Flambeau Fest hits a sour note with frustrated ticketholders
Ticketholders outraged and out of options after Flambeau Fest failed to deliver refunds
Flambeau Fest PART III: A nearly two year old bill unpaid now costing taxpayers thousands of dollars
The City of Gonzales decided to move forward with a lawsuit to try to recover tax dollars from Flambeau Fest organizers and the media company behind the event, PI Entertainment following a series of investigative reports by WAFB.
Festival organizers contracted city police officers to direct traffic for the 2017 event, then skipped out on the bill. The nearly $3,000 for the 66 hours of overtime worked by officers ended up being covered by taxpayers after coming out of the department's budget.
City leaders came forward with the claims after the 9News Investigators uncovered allegations from a hotel manager in Ascension Parish that concert organizers skipped out on a bill of more than $32,000 from the inaugural event.
An untold amount of ticket holders are also upset with the festival, alleging promoters have failed to make good on refunds or deliver a follow-up show.
The concert, its organizers, and PI Entertainment have since faced separate legal action, including a lawsuit by one of the lenders from the 2017 event, J.B. Interests, for more than $1.7 million.
6.) Parish officials skip town for lavish trip as storm makes landfall
La. elected officials swing back after being slammed by critics for business trip to Las Vegas
One day after declaring a state of emergency for his parish, Ascension Parish President Kenny Matassa was checking into a hotel in Las Vegas, the 9News Investigators learned.
Matassa chose to attend a conference booked prior to Hurricane Barry developing on the gulf, but his decision to attend that conference despite some projections of serious damage being done in Louisiana after the storm's landfall left others uneasy.
When WAFB started asking questions, Matassa fired back in a statement Monday, July 15, defending his decision and saying he chose to go because it was already paid for and scheduled.
The Nevada getaway racked up a bill of about $2,524 in flights through Southwest, nearly another $3,010 was spent on conference registrations, and around $6,773 was spent six rooms at Caesars Palace. Those rooms were not at either of the host hotels for the conference. The rates at those spots were between $149 to $179 per night, but the rooms Matassa's crew chose cost taxpayers anywhere from an extra $1,400 to $2,000 more over the course of the trip.
7.) 'Crisis' in Clinton
Clinton mayor, Lori Bell, resigns effective immediately
The 9News Investigators extensively reported on former Clinton Mayor Lori Bell and the other for the town's former police chief, Fred Dunn. Both were arrested for their alleged involvement with a leasing scheme for several SUVs.
Bell is accused of leasing four brand new Chevy Tahoe SUVs for the Town of Clinton in 2016 without the town aldermen's approval. The 9News Investigators found it cost the town more than $200,000. When council members found out, the SUVs were taken out of circulation. Bell eventually pleaded no contest to a formal charge of "approval of application: incurring indebtedness." She also resigned as mayor.
The 9News Investigators also found that while Dunn was the police chief, he signed as the counsel for those leases. Legally, that signature should have come from the town's attorney. Dunn has since resigned as chief.
Amid those reports, the 9News Investigators also exposed that the Louisiana Department of Health cited 22 violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act in Clinton under Bell.
LDH sent the letter to Bell in September and gave her 90 days to respond with plans on how to correct the issues. However, other officials said nothing was done to correct the issue within the timeframe. The situation was feard to become a "public health emergency" if action wasn't taken.
Bell later told the 9News Investigators she'd fixed all the issues, but immediately afterward LDH officials said that was incorrect. It wasn't until a follow-up report months later that the town's water system was in full compliance with all safe drinking water standards.

Q: Куда пропали значения chart? Есть буквы(слева в DGV). Я подгружаю в chart частоту букв в тексте, но у меня не вмещаются все подписи. Как уменьшить интервал или просто вернуть подписи?
Кусок кода, отвечающий за загрузку в chart:
    private void LoadGraph()
    {

        chart1.Series[0].ChartType = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.SeriesChartType.StackedBar;
        var kek = hk.countDict.Keys.ToList();
        kek.Sort();
        foreach (var item in kek)
        {
            chart1.Series[0].Points.AddXY(item, hk.countDict[item]);
        }
    }

A: Для того, чтобы отображались все метки, необходимо выставить значение интервала на нужной оси. Для графиков типа Bar в контроле Chart оси X и Y меняются местами, поэтому интервал нужно выставлять для оси X, если нужно видеть все подписи Bar-ам (по вертикальной оси).
Небольшой демонстрационный фрагмент ниже.
var rnd = new Random();
chart1.Series[0].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Bar;
string labels = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
foreach(var c in labels)
{
    chart1.Series[0].Points.AddXY(c.ToString(), rnd.Next(0, 30));
}
chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.Interval = 1;

Разумеется данные нужно подставить из вашего источника данных и оформить код как полагается, со всеми проверками на null и т.д.

Creating Opportunities
For Indigenous students to pursue careers that feed back into Indigenous cultures.
Influence is a collaborative organization whose goals are to create better opportunities for Indigenous post-secondary students, and to create opportunities for mentors to raise their awareness of Indigenous issues, culture, and history. Culture, traditions, spirituality, teachings and stories have all been shared and best understood through the Elder - protégé relationship. This transference of knowledge has been integral to Indigenous ways of knowing and being. It is also a core building block of the Influence Mentoring brand.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada's Calls to Action also guides Influence's brand and mission to eliminate educational and employment gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. This innovative program exemplifies the spirit of reconciliation; whereby Indigenous and non-Indigenous people believe that providing mentoring opportunities for Indigenous post-secondary students can adapt a two-way mentoring model, and in doing so work together to build stronger relationships while improving cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
Article 14 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People affirms this importance, stating that 'Indigenous peoples have the right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions providing education in their own languages, in a manner appropriate to their cultural methods of teaching and learning.'
Influence aspires to build capacity, talent, and career opportunities among urban, Indigenous, post-secondary students, through group learning activities and one-on-one mentoring with industry veterans.
Influence will use individual and group mentorship to build Indigenous talent and contribute to a foundation of knowledge and mutual respect between industry and Indigenous students, thus helping to create a more equitable and inclusive workforce, one person at a time.
Taking inspiration from traditional Indigenous ethics, the values of this program are:
Talent Development: We see an immense potential in Indigenous post-secondary students. We want to help shape them into future leaders for the community.
Mutual Respect: We believe that this program grows from seeds of mutual respect between different cultures and beliefs, and we further believe it can help that respect blossom through reciprocal mentorship.
Inclusivity: Our program makes no distinction between First Nations, Inuit, Métis, or Non-Status, between young or old; all self-motivated, Indigenous post-secondary students are welcome to become protégés. Partners and mentors of all cultural backgrounds are welcomed as well.
Partnership: Influence strives to develop partnerships with many organizations in education, industry, and the community. This enhances the performance of this program and the well being of Indigenous peoples across Canada.
The word INFLUENCE was chosen because of its meaning and powerful effect:
In•flu•ence [in-floo-uh ns] noun, verb, in•flu•enced, in•flu•enc•ing
The capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force, or produce effects on, the actions, behaviors, opinions, etc., of others: e.g. used family influence;
The action or process of producing effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of another or others: e.g. Her mother's influence made her stay.
A person or thing that exerts influence: e.g. He is an influence for good.
In Astrology:
The radiation of an ethereal fluid from the stars, regarded as effecting human actions and destinies;
The exercise of occult power by the stars, or such power as exercised;
Influence aims to inspire our future leaders. The strong stylized eagle feather in our brand is an image used by many Indigenous peoples across Canada and has great meaning and symbolism.
The "I" within the feather not only represents the first letter in the name, but is also a visual representation of the person, either protégé and/or mentor, that defines the mentorship relationship;
The colour green has been used to represent growth, new beginnings, and forward movement;
The Influence mentoring team engaged a First Nations design student to come up with the Influence brand. We are incredibly proud of what has been created, and thank Kristy North Peigan for all that she has done.

Prerender
===========================

Prerender is a node server that uses Headless Chrome to render HTML, screenshots, PDFs, and HAR files out of any web page. The Prerender server listens for an http request, takes the URL and loads it in Headless Chrome, waits for the page to finish loading by waiting for the network to be idle, and then returns your content.

##### The quickest way to run your own prerender server:

```bash
$ npm install prerender
```
##### server.js
```js
const prerender = require('prerender');
const server = prerender();
server.start();
```
##### test it:
```bash
curl http://localhost:3000/render?url=https://www.example.com/
```

## Use Cases
The Prerender server can be used in conjunction with [our Prerender.io middleware](#middleware) in order to serve the prerendered HTML of your javascript website to search engines (Google, Bing, etc) and social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc) for SEO. We run the Prerender server at scale for SEO needs at [https://prerender.io/](https://prerender.io/).

The Prerender server can be used on its own to crawl any web page and pull down the content for your own parsing needs. We host the Prerender server for your own crawling needs at [https://prerender.com/](https://prerender.com/).

Prerender differs from Google Puppeteer in that Prerender is a web server that takes in URLs and loads them in parallel in a new tab in Headless Chrome. Puppeteer is an API for interacting with Chrome, but you still have to write that interaction yourself. With Prerender, you don't have to write any code to launch Chrome, load pages, wait for the page to load, or pull the content off of the page. The Prerender server handles all of that for you so you can focus on more important things!

Below you will find documentation for our Prerender.io service (website SEO) and our Prerender.com service (web crawling).

# Prerender.io
###### For serving your prerendered HTML to crawlers for SEO

Prerender solves SEO by serving prerendered HTML to Google and other search engines.  It's easy:
- Just install the appropriate middleware for your app (or check out the source code and build your own)
- Make sure search engines have a way of discovering your pages (e.g. sitemap.xml and links from other parts of your site or from around the web)
- That's it! Perfect SEO on javascript pages.

###
## Middleware

This is a list of middleware available to use with the prerender service:

#### Official middleware

###### Javascript
* [prerender-node](https://github.com/prerender/prerender-node) (Express)

###### Ruby
* [prerender_rails](https://github.com/prerender/prerender_rails) (Rails)

###### Apache
* [.htaccess](https://gist.github.com/thoop/8072354)

###### Nginx
* [nginx.conf](https://gist.github.com/thoop/8165802)

#### Community middleware

###### PHP
* [zfr-prerender](https://github.com/zf-fr/zfr-prerender) (Zend Framework 2)
* [YuccaPrerenderBundle](https://github.com/rjanot/YuccaPrerenderBundle) (Symfony 2)
* [Laravel Prerender](https://github.com/JeroenNoten/Laravel-Prerender) (Laravel)

###### Java
* [prerender-java](https://github.com/greengerong/prerender-java)

###### Go
* [goprerender](https://github.com/tampajohn/goprerender)

###### Grails
* [grails-prerender](https://github.com/tuler/grails-prerender)

###### Nginx
* [Reverse Proxy Example](https://gist.github.com/Stanback/6998085)

###### Apache
* [.htaccess](https://gist.github.com/Stanback/7028309)

Request more middleware for a different framework in this [issue](https://github.com/prerender/prerender/issues/12).

## How it works
This is a simple service that only takes a url and returns the rendered HTML (with all script tags removed).

Note: you should proxy the request through your server (using middleware) so that any relative links to CSS/images/etc still work.

`GET https://service.prerender.io/https://www.google.com`

`GET https://service.prerender.io/https://www.google.com/search?q=angular`

## Running locally
If you are trying to test Prerender with your website on localhost, you'll have to run the Prerender server locally so that Prerender can access your local dev website.

If you are running the prerender service locally. Make sure you set your middleware to point to your local Prerender server with:

`export PRERENDER_SERVICE_URL=http://localhost:3000`

	$ git clone https://github.com/prerender/prerender.git
	$ cd prerender
	$ npm install
	$ node server.js

Prerender will now be running on http://localhost:3000. If you wanted to start a web app that ran on say, http://localhost:8000, you can now visit the URL http://localhost:3000/http://localhost:8000 to see how your app would render in Prerender.

To test how your website will render through Prerender using the middleware, you'll want to visit the URL http://localhost:8000?_escaped_fragment_=

That should send a request to the Prerender server and display the prerendered page through your website. If you View Source of that page, you should see the HTML with all of the `<script>` tags removed.

Keep in mind you will see 504s for relative URLs when accessing http://localhost:3000/http://localhost:8000 because the actual domain on that request is your prerender server. This isn't really an issue because once you proxy that request through the middleware, then the domain will be your website and those requests won't be sent to the prerender server.  For instance if you want to see your relative URLS working visit `http://localhost:8000?_escaped_fragment_=`

# Customization

You can clone this repo and run `server.js` OR include prerender in your project with `npm install prerender --save` to create an express-like server with custom plugins.

## Options

### chromeLocation
```
var prerender = require('./lib');

var server = prerender({
    chromeLocation: '/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary'
});

server.start();
```

Uses a chrome install at a certain location. Prerender does not download Chrome so you will want to make sure Chrome is installed on your server already. The Prerender server checks a few known locations for Chrome but this lets you override that.

`Default: null`

### logRequests
```
var prerender = require('./lib');

var server = prerender({
    logRequests: true
});

server.start();
```

Causes the Prerender server to print out every request made represented by a `+` and every response received represented by a `-`. Lets you analyze page load times.

`Default: false`

### captureConsoleLog
```
var prerender = require('./lib');

var server = prerender({
    captureConsoleLog: true
});

server.start();
```

Prerender server will store all console logs into `pageLoadInfo.logEntries` for further analytics.

`Default: false`

### pageDoneCheckInterval
```
var prerender = require('./lib');

var server = prerender({
    pageDoneCheckInterval: 1000
});

server.start();
```

Number of milliseconds between the interval of checking whether the page is done loading or not. You can also set the environment variable of `PAGE_DONE_CHECK_INTERVAL` instead of passing in the `pageDoneCheckInterval` parameter.

`Default: 500`

### pageLoadTimeout
```
var prerender = require('./lib');

var server = prerender({
    pageLoadTimeout: 20 * 1000
});

server.start();
```

Maximum number of milliseconds to wait while downloading the page, waiting for all pending requests/ajax calls to complete before timing out and continuing on. Time out condition does not cause an error, it just returns the HTML on the page at that moment. You can also set the environment variable of `PAGE_LOAD_TIMEOUT` instead of passing in the `pageLoadTimeout` parameter.

`Default: 20000`

### waitAfterLastRequest
```
var prerender = require('./lib');

var server = prerender({
    waitAfterLastRequest: 500
});

server.start();
```

Number of milliseconds to wait after the number of requests/ajax calls in flight reaches zero. HTML is pulled off of the page at this point. You can also set the environment variable of `WAIT_AFTER_LAST_REQUEST` instead of passing in the `waitAfterLastRequest` parameter.

`Default: 500`

### followRedirects
```
var prerender = require('./lib');

var server = prerender({
    followRedirects: false
});

server.start();
```

Whether Chrome follows a redirect on the first request if a redirect is encountered. Normally, for SEO purposes, you do not want to follow redirects. Instead, you want the Prerender server to return the redirect to the crawlers so they can update their index. Don't set this to `true` unless you know what you are doing. You can also set the environment variable of `FOLLOW_REDIRECTS` instead of passing in the `followRedirects` parameter.

`Default: false`

## Plugins

We use a plugin system in the same way that Connect and Express use middleware. Our plugins are a little different and we don't want to confuse the prerender plugins with the [prerender middleware](#middleware), so we opted to call them "plugins".

Plugins are in the `lib/plugins` directory, and add functionality to the prerender service.

Each plugin can implement any of the plugin methods:

#### `init()`

#### `requestReceived(req, res, next)`

#### `tabCreated(req, res, next)`

#### `pageLoaded(req, res, next)`

#### `beforeSend(req, res, next)`

## Available plugins

You can use any of these plugins by modifying the `server.js` file

### basicAuth

If you want to only allow access to your Prerender server from authorized parties, enable the basic auth plugin.

You will need to add the `BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME` and `BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` environment variables.
```
export BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=prerender
export BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=test
```

Then make sure to pass the basic authentication headers (password base64 encoded).

```
curl -u prerender:wrong http://localhost:3000/http://example.com -> 401
curl -u prerender:test http://localhost:3000/http://example.com -> 200
```

### removeScriptTags

We remove script tags because we don't want any framework specific routing/rendering to happen on the rendered HTML once it's executed by the crawler. The crawlers may not execute javascript, but we'd rather be safe than have something get screwed up.

For example, if you rendered the HTML of an angular page but left the angular scripts in there, your browser would try to execute the angular routing and possibly end up clearing out the HTML of the page.

This plugin implements the `pageLoaded` function, so make sure any caching plugins run after this plugin is run to ensure you are caching pages with javascript removed.

### httpHeaders

If your Javascript routing has a catch-all for things like 404's, you can tell the prerender service to serve a 404 to google instead of a 200. This way, google won't index your 404's.

Add these tags in the `<head>` of your page if you want to serve soft http headers. Note: Prerender will still send the HTML of the page. This just modifies the status code and headers being sent.

Example: telling prerender to server this page as a 404
```html
<meta name="prerender-status-code" content="404">
```

Example: telling prerender to serve this page as a 302 redirect
```html
<meta name="prerender-status-code" content="302">
<meta name="prerender-header" content="Location: https://www.google.com">
```

### whitelist

If you only want to allow requests to a certain domain, use this plugin to cause a 404 for any other domains.

You can add the whitelisted domains to the plugin itself, or use the `ALLOWED_DOMAINS` environment variable.

`export ALLOWED_DOMAINS=www.prerender.io,prerender.io`

### blacklist

If you want to disallow requests to a certain domain, use this plugin to cause a 404 for the domains.

You can add the blacklisted domains to the plugin itself, or use the `BLACKLISTED_DOMAINS` environment variable.

`export BLACKLISTED_DOMAINS=yahoo.com,www.google.com`

### in-memory-cache

Caches pages in memory. Available at [prerender-memory-cache](https://github.com/prerender/prerender-memory-cache)

### s3-html-cache

Caches pages in S3. Available at [coming soon](https://github.com/prerender/prerender)

--------------------

# Prerender.com
###### For doing your own web crawling

When running your Prerender server in the web crawling context, we have a separate "API" for the server that is more complex to let you do different things like:
- get HTML from a web page
- get screenshots (viewport or full screen) from a web page
- get PDFS from a web page
- get HAR files from a web page
- execute your own javascript and return json along with the HTML

If you make an http request to the `/render` endpoint, you can pass any of the following options. You can pass any of these options as query parameters on a GET request or as JSON properties on a POST request. We recommend using a POST request but we will display GET requests here for brevity. Click here to see [how to send the POST request](#getvspost).

These examples assume you have the server running locally on port 3000 but you can also use our hosted service at [https://prerender.com/](https://prerender.com/).

#### url

The URL you want to load. Returns HTML by default.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?url=https://www.example.com/
```

#### renderType

The type of content you want to pull off the page.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?renderType=html&url=https://www.example.com/
```

Options are `html`, `jpeg`, `png`, `pdf`, `har`.

#### userAgent

Send your own custom user agent when Chrome loads the page.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?userAgent=ExampleCrawlerUserAgent&url=https://www.example.com/
```

#### fullpage

Whether you want your screenshot to be the entire height of the document or just the viewport.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?fullpage=true&renderType=html&url=https://www.example.com/
```

Don't include `fullpage` and we'll just screenshot the normal browser viewport. Include `fullpage=true` for a full page screenshot.

#### width

Screen width. Lets you emulate different screen sizes.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?width=990&url=https://www.example.com/
```

Default is `1440`.

#### height

Screen height. Lets you emulate different screen sizes.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?height=100&url=https://www.example.com/
```

Default is `718`.

#### followRedirects

By default, we don't follow 301 redirects on the initial request so you can be alerted of any changes in URLs to update your crawling data. If you want us to follow redirects instead, you can pass this parameter.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?followRedirects=true&url=https://www.example.com/
```

Default is `false`.

#### javascript

Execute javascript to modify the page before we snapshot your content. If you set `window.prerenderData` to an object, we will pull the object off the page and return it to you. Great for parsing extra data from a page in javascript.

```
http://localhost:3000/render?javascript=window.prerenderData=window.angular.version&url=https://www.example.com/
```

When using this parameter and `window.prerenderData`, the response from Prerender will look like:
```
{
	prerenderData: { example: 'data' },
	content: '<html><body></body></html>'
}
```

If you don't set `window.prerenderData`, the response won't be JSON. The response will just be the normal HTML.

###
### Get vs Post

You can send all options as a query parameter on a GET request or as a JSON property on a POST request. We recommend using the POST request when possible to avoid any issues with URL encoding of GET request query strings. Here's a few pseudo examples:

```
POST http://localhost:3000/render
{
	renderType: 'html',
	javascript: 'window.prerenderData = window.angular.version',
	url: 'https://www.example.com/'
}
```

```
POST http://localhost:3000/render
{
	renderType: 'jpeg',
	fullpage: 'true',
	url: 'https://www.example.com/'
}
```
