GAAP vs. Non-GAAP: The SEC has been clamping down on public company use of Non-GAAP metrics in financial reporting. How does this affect both micro and small cap companies?
Leases as Liabilities: Since leases are real contractual obligations requiring the use of cash, regulators have been questioning whether the financial position of a company could be accurate without inclusion of these liabilities. Most affected: companies that have significant real estate leases in multi-locations such as restaurants, retail stores and office units.
New Revenue Recognition Rules
Derivatives and conversion features of notes
How does the SEC's creation of the PCAOB affect a company's audit requirements, for example, revenue testing and testing of fair value measurements?
Reg A+: What are the audit/legal requirements?
Uplisting from the Pinks to the major exchanges: What are the audit/legal requirements?
New FASB guidance on business vs. asset acquisition

Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions: Chapter 14: Buddha Nature: A Talk by Thubten Chodron
Thubten Chodron guides viewers through her book, Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions in this video series produced by Sravasti Abbey. This talk addressing Chapter 14 discusses buddha-nature by way of emptiness. Venerable Thubten Chodron presents that emptiness is the reason that the mind's afflictions and obscurations can be purified and that purification process reveals buddha-nature inherent in the minds of all beings.

Q: É possível emparelhar valores de dois dataframes com números de observações diferentes? Tenho dois data frames:
Sexo <- rep(1:2 , length.out = 51)
Estudo <- rep(1: 17, length.out = 51)
Salário <- c(runif(51, min=900, max=3000))

data1 <- data.frame(Sexo, Estudo, Salário)

data2 <-  data.frame(TaxaHomens = c(seq(0.1,0.99,length=17)),
                TaxaMulheres = c(seq(0.2,0.99,length=17)),
                Estudo = c(1:17))

A variável Sexo em data1 está classificada como 1 para homens e 2 para mulheres, Estudo corresponde aos anos de estudos da pessoa e salário ao ganhos mensais.
É possível criar uma coluna chamada Taxa no primeiro data frame(data1) de forma que as taxas do segundo data frame fiquem organizadas de acordo com Sexo e Estudo?
Exemplificando, quero que na nova coluna de data1 eu tenha para Sexo=1 e Estudo=3 uma taxa de 0.211250, para todas as observações desse tipo e assim por diante.

A: Utilizando os pacotes dplyr e tidyr:
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
data2 <- data2 %>%
  gather(Sexo, Taxa, TaxaHomens:TaxaMulheres)
data2$Sexo <- ifelse(data2$Sexo == "TaxaHomens", 1, 2)
left_join(data1, data2, by = c("Sexo", "Estudo"))

O que fiz foi transformar seu data2 de forma que ficasse apenas com uma coluna de taxa (homens e mulheres na mesma coluna).

A: Talvez tenha uma maneira mais eficiente, mas se você não tiver muitas linhas não será problema:
for(i in 1: dim(data1)[1]) {
  data1$Taxa[i] <- data2[which(data2$Estudo == data1$Estudo[i]), data1$Sexo[i]]
}

A: Utilizando base R:
Sexo <- rep(1:2 , length.out = 51)
Estudo <- rep(1: 17, length.out = 51)
Salario <- c(runif(51, min=900, max=3000))

data1 <- data.frame(Sexo, Estudo, Salario)

data2 <-  data.frame(TaxaHomens = c(seq(0.1,0.99,length=17)),
                TaxaMulheres = c(seq(0.2,0.99,length=17)),
                Estudo = c(1:17))

data1$Fator = data1$Estudo
data1$Fator = factor(data1$Fator)
levels(data1$Fator) = data2$TaxaHomens
data1$Fator = as.numeric(as.character(data1$Fator))
head(data1)

  Sexo Estudo   Salario    Fator
1    1      1 2287.2813 0.100000
2    2      2 2845.6058 0.155625
3    1      3 2606.5139 0.211250
4    2      4  911.2628 0.266875
5    1      5 2658.2753 0.322500
6    2      6 2082.1462 0.378125

O segredo é criar uma coluna de factors com os mesmos valores da coluna Estudo e substituir os levels pelos valores da coluna TaxaHomens ou TaxaMulheres. Importante que esse jeito só funciona porque em data2 não existem dados duplicados.

People may soon be allowed to take their garbage to the transfer station in Beulah. The city had to discontinue accepting household garbage and recycling at the transfer station when Waste Management Inc. stopped providing those services in Mercer County.
The Knife River Care Center had a challenging year, but its employees have pitched in to make it a successful year, KRCC Administrator Keith Gendreau said.
Hard work and improvement throughout the year. If you were to ask Beulah-Hazen coach Bruce Wold what it takes to have success in high school cross country that is what he would recommend. And Wold would know after the veteran coach was named the Class B Boys State Coach of the Year last Saturday.
After proclaiming October Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Beulah City Council was informed that a study of potential solutions for flooding problems on the Knife River was moving closer to getting started.
Wet weather dominated September in Mercer County, but October brought a return to summerlike temperatures. Farmers took advantage to catch up on harvest and other fall activities.


This week, the guest curator for "The Big Idea" on the CNN MoneyStream app is Geoffrey Garrett. You can follow him on Twitter @garrett_geoff.
The 13th dean of Wharton has taught on three continents and held teaching assignments at some of the world's top universities, including Penn, Oxford, Stanford and Yale.
An active social media user, Garrett can often be found blogging on LinkedIn or tweeting. He is a trustee of the Asia Foundation in San Francisco and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He also serves on the Advisory Board of Global Policy.
Garrett was appointed dean of the Wharton School in 2014 after being dean of the business schools at both the University of Sydney and University of New South Wales in Australia.
Every day, you will see multiple stories appear in your stream that are hand-picked by the guest curator of the week. "The Big Idea" was curated last week by former NASA astronaut Jose Hernandez.


It's not that all these things will certainly happen, but we recommend that you expect them to happen. Expect the worst so that if it happens, you're prepared. If things go better than you expect, consider that a blessing.
One other thing you can expect is to have your gun secured by police the moment they arrive on the scene. They don't know you. They don't know for sure what has happened or who is telling the truth. And for their own safety, they will almost certainly disarm you immediately.
You should surrender your weapon upon request, following law enforcement's instructions to the letter.
Remember, all that the police are sure of when they arrive is that something bad has happened. If you have a gun, they won't know whether you're the good guy or the bad guy until they investigate. So this is not the time to lecture authorities about your rights or insist that you did nothing wrong.
Police investigations are a step-by-step process. And step one in any shooting is to secure the scene, which includes securing all weapons.
Not only should you surrender your weapon immediately upon request, you should make sure that you do NOT have your gun in your hand when the police arrive. It's possible, of course, that you have called 911 and are holding a gun on a bad guy, but this isn't the situation you want to be in.
Unless you are a member of law enforcement or you personally know the responding officers, having a firearm in your hand will put police into "red alert" mode. You will likely face multiple officers with guns drawn and pointed at you. And any misunderstood movement on your part could have tragic results.
Once again, being the good guy isn't the point. The responding officers don't know who the good guy is. If you have a gun in your hand, they will only know that they are arriving at the scene of a shooting and see a guy with a gun. You watch the news. You know what can happen next.
So assuming the police have arrived and you have cooperated fully with them as they secure the scene, they now have your firearm in their possession. Will you get your gun back? Maybe. Maybe not.
You should prepare yourself for the possibility that even in the very best situation, where it is obvious that you are the good guy and you have legally defended yourself, the police may seize your gun and not return it to you. Why? Because that is the policy in many police departments.
Consider the case of Cleveland resident Derrick J. Washington. He didn't even use his gun. He merely reported a shooting. Yet Cleveland police seized his gun and refused to return it to him.
According to Cleveland Division of Police records obtained by Media Trackers, Washington called emergency responders to report having heard gunshots in the area of a nearby traffic accident.
When police arrived on the scene to investigate, they arrested the witness as well as the individuals involved in the two-vehicle collision.
Incorrectly believing there was an outstanding warrant for Washington's arrest, Cleveland police searched his car, confiscating his pistol and concealed handgun license without a search warrant.
Washington was held in detention for illegally carrying a concealed weapon and using a weapon while intoxicated, despite the fact that his legally-owned firearm — a Taurus .38 special revolver — was found secured in a gun locker in his car, not on his person.
Washington spent the next 2 days and 3 nights in jail before police investigators concluded, after two rounds of information-gathering and deliberations with the city's assistant prosecutor, that there was "insufficient evidence" to charge him with any crime.
At the time of this writing, Mr. Washington has spent about 9 months fighting the city, including filing a lawsuit, to retrieve his gun.
Is this right? No. Does it happen anyway? Yes.
Expect it. This is the reality of the world we live in today. And this is why Second Call Defense includes "gun retrieval or replacement" as one of our key benefits for our top membership levels. If you're involved in a self defense incident and authorities won't return your gun to you when it's all over, we will either get it back or buy you a new one.
Preparing to defend yourself physically is a very practical endeavor. You prepare to do what you need to do to survive. Likewise, preparing for the legal aftermath is also a practical matter. Expect the worst case scenario and be prepared to deal with it.

Charles was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. Posthumously, he was also awarded the Next of Kin Memorial Plaque, also known as the Dead Man's Penny. This is in the safe hands of Charles' niece, Vera Muir.
What are the Next of Kin Memorial Plaque, Scroll and King's Message?
The Next of Kin Memorial Plaque is a bronze plaque approximately 11 cms or 4½ inches diameter with the name of someone who died serving with the British and Empire forces in the First World War. This was issued to the Next of Kin of the casualty along with the scroll. They were posted out separately, typically in 1919 and 1920, and a 'King's message' was enclosed with both, containing a facsimile signature of the King.
It was decided amongst the Allies that a common theme would be adopted and that each country would produce a medal to commemorate the Victory. This medal took various forms according to the country but a common item was the rainbow coloured ribbon. The British medal shows the winged victory on the front holding a palm branch in her right hand with the left outstretched. The reverse has the words "The Great War for Civilisation" surrounded by a laurel wreath.

It seems that once a ski is wider than 10 cm under the binding then this kicks off the potential for sore knees. 10cm is okay , but my new skis were 12cm . This 2cm appears to be the tipping point. Some of the really really outlandish skis are 15 cm underfoot.
My experience is the same although I no longer work on the snow and now only ski 30 to 50 days a season. A trip to Japan skiing every day on 10.5 cm skis brought on knee pain after just three days and despite the lovely soft snow, ice packs and anti inflammatory meds I suffered for the rest of the trip. Fears of ruined knees were definitely there but having just finished a season in NZ mainly on 8.8 cm skis with nothing more than one or two evenings with mild aches has put my mind (and knees) at rest.
Very very few skis are above 150mm. Above 120mm in non soft snow I can see a point. Can't see much problem in the 100-110 bracket for a strong male skier unless they are really thrashing them on hardpack. I skied a lot of days last winter the vast majority on skis at least 112mm wide and my knees haven't felt so good for years. Obviously a YMMV point.
Not that I can do it, but I know a man who can.
Agree with this. One day of skiing something fairly wide and my knees ache, but could some of this be down to less sidecut on many wider skis? Not tried many with small radius to compare, but working harder to get an edge in might have an effect too.
Interesting article, it seems well accepted that skiing (more specifically,carving at speed, with edge angles more than a minimal amount) on hard pistes on fat skis, has potential to cause knee pain. However, the consensus from a group of 4 amazing offpiste guides/instructors from Powder Extreme in Verbier (who I skied with last winter) was that their knees were still going strong thanks to fat rockered modern skis. I remember the oldest of them clearly saying if he was skiing daily their typical variable, freeride terrain on piste type skis he would have been forced to retire by now!
@gra, I'm unsure whether it's the "carving" element although that may also contribute. But it's simple geometry that a wider ski introduces a lever into a system that isn't generally used to it.
Given that the vast majority of the population, most of the time, are skiing on groomed pistes, the current predilection for wide skis is a marketing fad full of nonsense. And seems to be resulting in pain and injury.
It's about (lack of) technique IMHO.
If the skiing technique is to aggressively lead with the uphill ski and tuck the downhill knee in behind the uphill knee then the downhill knee won't track over the ski.
With the increased edge angles afforded by wider waisted skis the pressure on the knee in this mechanically inefficient position will lead to soreness.
I thought this technique went out a couple of decades ago, or am I wrong?
@Mike Pow, I'm not sure that's the whole story, because the lever action is unavoidable, and seems like a more obvious culprit.
So while A-framing these days is no longer desirable, it's the addition of the wide skis that brings the problem.
So part of it is how wide your knees are?
So is there any evidence other than anecdote?
@Digger the dinosaur, I don't see how radius causes the problem.
I think that the stiffer skis and stiffer boots are also putting a lot more strain on knees.
I am currently skiing Head Vectors boots with 90mm ski and last year on hard pack my knees were giving me gip (I was also carrying an injury from earlier in the season), so I pulled a couple of bolts out the back of the Vectors and dropped the flex down. Problem went away, I also found it a lot easier to ski.
I think that stiff skis and boots are great with narrow skis when you are trying to go mach speed on piste. If you want all mountain and a ski that can go off piste and ski piste you are better off lowering the flex and taking the hit on piste performance as opposed to knee pain.
@gordonrussell76, I'm not so convinced that there is a trend towards stiffer flex boots. Other than top end race boots.
And I don't see how heavier skis would have anything to do with it as skis are usually used on snow...not picked up and in mid air Are ski/binding combinations significantly heavier than they used to be?
[quote="under a new name"]@gordonrussell76, I'm not so convinced that there is a trend towards stiffer flex boots. Other than top end race boots.
I would agree with UANN, I see no trend toward stiffer flex and certainly not stiffer heavier skis, quite the opposite. Its all light swing weights, carbon this and honeycomb that if anything the lack of damping and mass underfoot is going to contribute to sore knees.
In my case it is also a matter of age and the accumulated wear and tear from over 40 years of skiing and longer charging up and down all sorts of hills. But also without these modern ski designs I wouldn't be having near as much fun as I am.
If you are carving on hard pistes then I'm sure wider skis do put more strain on your knees. They are simply not optimal for the job. Rockers make things easier but they also detract from the pure carving ability of the ski. I wouldn't recommend skis >100mm for anyone who doesn't intend to be 70%+ in soft snow (or at least intends to use them on days when they expect to be 70%+ in soft snow). In soft snow (including on soft pistes as well as off piste) I don't feel any additional strain from wider skis.
Isn't the moral of the tale to be on skis which are suitable for the conditions you are skiing, for as much of your skiing time as possible? All ski selection is a compromise, so I think it's best to be honest with yourself about the skiing you do (and will do in the foreseeable future), decide what category ski best suits that skiing, then go and test as many as you can until you find a ski you're really happy on. Being on the 'wrong' ski is less fun than it should be, is usually harder work, and often makes it more difficult to improve your skiing skills.
No, @rob@rar, any fule knos that the only ski you need in your quiver are FIS full spec slalom skis.
OKay maybe my observation is off that there is a trend to higher flex boots.
I shall re-phrase my hypothesis. The impact of fat ski's on knees could be mitigated by lower flex boots. Stiff boots were originally designed to drive race skis and improve thin ski performance. Fat skis put more pressure on the knees, could some of that be mitigated by softer flex boots.
@gordonrussell76, I don't think so. The problem as I see it with wider skis on piste is a lateral pressure that would not be mitigated with softer flex boots, unless they were softer laterally.
And then only mitigated if so soft laterally that putting the skis on edge would have a reduced effect. Increasing the compromises of wide skis on piste and maybe introducing compromise off piste.
I agree, I think what i was getting at is that too stiff a boot might compromise your technique. I don't think I was getting forward enough as my boots were too stiff, and therefore I was figting my skis more and therefore my knees hurt. I got away with it on thinner ski's but with a fatter ski it became a problem.
Granted this is a technique issue not a boot issue, or even necessarily a fat ski issue directly but sometimes an equipment issue can cause or encourage a technique issue. I am only sharing this information as something for people to try to see if it helps them. If they have boots with adjustable flex and or can hire lower flex boots to see if it helps before carving their own up.
I grant you for an experienced skier who is flexing there boots properly this probably has no interest, but I am guessing that not everyone here is Graham Bell I know I am not.
Think as others have mentioned there is more going on than just the underfoot size of a ski, when carving skis first started to make an appearance, the tip and tail were much wider, and also the skis were a lot shorter, over time skis have got a bit longer again, but still maintained bigger tips and tails, maybe increasing the weight and twisting forces involved even on piste skis??
On very fat skis and I mean over 115 under foot then yep probably best for softer snow and powder days, but you can still have great fun on a 125 under foot on piste as long as the skis are up to it and you adjust your skiing to suit the ski and conditions?
I agree, I think what i was getting at is that too stiff a boot might compromise your technique.
I think that's right. If a boot is very stiff it's going to be more difficult to use your ankle joint effectively if you are not generating the forces in a turn to help you bend the boot (forwards). If you can't use your ankle joint effectively you are going to have more difficulty with your fore/aft balance and perhaps become quite static or have restricted range of movement. This will compromise your ability to ski well. As with skis, try to be in the right boots for your ability level and the skiing your prefer. Little point in being in a 150+ flex race boot when you want to spend all day in the park. If you're spending all week GS training then there are better options than that latest feather-weight touring boots, etc, etc.
Yes, indeed, that's certainly the case, and I could imagine that being a bit in the backseat could give you knee (or thigh!) pain.
I don't think that @livetoski wide tips and tails are an issue. Even little me (60kgs) on my FIS SLs (which I think are probably my most torsionally rigid skis and certainly the biggest difference between end and waist) have the underfoot length on the ground through the turn, indicating that the tips and tails are flexing enough torsionally that they're not lifting my body weight off the ground.
... but you can still have great fun on a 125 under foot on piste as long as the skis are up to it and you adjust your skiing to suit the ski and conditions?
Agreed. If you're not having at least some fun when you're skiing, regardless of kit, then something has gone badly wrong. But I'd argue that if you spend 90% of your week on piste then a pair of 125mm waist skis are the wrong choice. There'd be more fun to be had on a piste-oriented ski, and you'd probably find it easier to develop good skiing habits on a more suitable ski. The same applies to skiing off-piste, of course, especially if the snow is challenging because it's heavy or crusty. A wider pair is going to mean you ski in better balance and more easily link decent turns of whatever radius you want.
When I was coming back to skiing after a knee injury I rented a pair of narrow, piste skis to finish that season and eventually started skiing on piste again fast and without reservations though more like 3-4 hours rather than full days. Then almost at the very end of the season it dumped, so I thought even on piste my usual fat ski would be fun. I was wrong. I struggled for an hour or so and quit. It was just too much for my knee, I was very unbalanced and it was very difficult to turn the ski on my injured leg. I can't tell if there is any difference for healthy knees, but after an injury there was a big difference.
I'd like to see some decent research on whether it is a permanent damage sort of thing or a case of someone tries something a bit wider, knees are hurty therefore rejects wider skis. I'd suspect habituation and flexing style a bit helps considerably.
1. If you want to ski fat skis onpiste, be (a combination of) young, strong, uninjured and ski with good technique; then all will be fine with your knees.
2. If you're not young, strong, uninjured, and ski with poor technique but still want to use fat skis, for god's sake get off the piste and ski the funky snow off the sides; then all will be fine with your knees.
3. If you're not young, strong, uninjured, ski with any sort of technique but don't want to ski the funky snow unless it's blower pow, buy some piste skis.
All, the original link was to an article written by a guide with 20+ years of experience whose "right tool" was wide off piste skis, in his words "I ski a lot, over a hundred days a season. Most of it is off-piste some times in marvellous conditions sometimes not."
Yes but he doesn't present himself as being much of a kit geek and we end up with some secondhand anecdotal confirmation from a French physio. There is no disclosure of what his history is in skiing "fat" skis nor the exact dimensions of those that caused him problems. Equally the condition only manifested after skiing hard for a week so all sorts of fatigue could be a factor. While I'm not disputing his creds or conditioning I did think it was a rather week scaremongering op-ed type of piece for a professional sports clinic to be putting out.
I'm interested because I speculate that ski shape also plays a role, a trad "charger" I could see being much harder on knee joints than a modern 5 point rocker with short effective edge even in the same notional width. As an example I skied the Movement Flycatcher at Hemel and I can't imagine any competent adult male finding them too much. On a similar note I am sure that so many people of all shapes and sizes love the new Director when they try it because it is simply a brilliant shape that skis much narrower than it is.
I see - and have taught - plenty of people who ski like this on piste and get away with it.
They then try to transition to off-piste soft snow conditions with this technique and a narrower platform and end up falling more than skiing.
They then switch to wider waisted skis without addressing their technique.
With the wider waisted ski comes more flotation in soft snow and more acceleration at the start of the turn.
To manage this acceleration you see plenty of people stemming the downhill ski to scrub off speed.
Biomechanically the downhill knee is not tracking over the centre of the downhill ski.
This takes place at speed on an unstable platform (the snow not the skis).
Repeat enough times per day and the knees will be stressed and become sore.
Do it on piste and it's multiplied - less give with the snow surface on-piste.
Look at most POV and aerial footage of top skiers skiing powder at mach speeds and you'll see stemming at the start of the turn. They do it to scrub speed and kick up as much powder as possible for the pics and video.
Recreational skiers mimic this move.
The biggest difference is that top skiers are young, flexible, agile with young knees and more often than not ski on far better quality soft snow.

Parallel Vectors. Find Expert Advice on About.com.
The dot product of two parallel vectors is equal to the algebraic multiplication of the magnitudes of both vectors. If the two vectors are in the same direction, then the dot product is positive. If they are in the opposite direction, then the dot product is negative.
If A and B represent two vectors, then the dot product is obtained by A.B. cos q, where "q" represents the angle between the two vectors. Thus, if the vectors are anti-parallel, q equals 180 degrees; cos 180 equals -1. If the two vectors are parallel, then q equals 0 degrees; cos 0 equals 1.

Learn About EB
What is epidermolysis bullosa (EB)
Epidermolysis Bullosa is a family of rare genetic disorders that affect the body's largest organ: the skin. Individuals with EB lack critical proteins that bind the skin's two layers together. Without these proteins, the skin tears apart, blisters, and shears off leading to severe pain, disfigurement, and wounds that may never heal.
HEREDITY OF EB
Genetic disorders, like EB, are usually passed down from parents to offspring, although they are rarely caused by a spontaneous DNA mutation. EBS and DDEB are passed down through dominant inheritance. This means only one copy of the mutated gene, from either the mother or father, is needed for a child to express the disorder. RDEB, JEB, and Kindler Syndrome are all passed down through recessive inheritance. This means that a child needs to get 2 copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to express the disease. Children can also be carriers of the gene, which means they're able to pass it down to their children, but do not express the disorder.

OC Complaints Roster
Published on October 1, 2016 By Phil Osborn In Singularity
Update: 10/04/16
My link to this from the Orange County Science Fiction Club has been taken down.
For at least a couple of decades now, I have attended the monthly meetings of the OCSFC on a fairly regular basis. What could go wrong at a science fiction club? Murphy's Law rules, but recent meetings have clearly more to do with Murphy's estranged mother-in-law:
https://www.meetup.com/Orange-County-Science-Fiction-Club/events/231893455/
I've known the guest of honor for July's meeting, Craig Miller, for probably at least a couple decades due to his role in organizing LOSCON, the SF Conference of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (LASFS). LOSCON is a great example in general of how to do a medium-sized, general purpose con. They have maintained a standard of excellence for over four decades, with occasional lapses, to be sure, but they always bounce back and the typical content is so diverse that chances are that you'll find something great to make up for any failings.
Unfortunately, that standard was not matched by the July OCSFC meeting. The AV system only worked intermittently - mostly glitching, but that hardly mattered as Craig was admittedly and apologetically mostly unprepared. So, nothing worth mentioning happened and the meeting was a waste. However, the logical thing to do if one part of a presentation or meeting is clearly failing and probably unfixable is to switch to another thread that does work. This contingency planning approach is essential to success.
Q&A is always a fallback, and we could have discussed how the OCSFC could more effectively engage with LASFS/LOSCON. OCSFC has generally maintained a fairly effective presence at LOSCON, contributing many panelists and a pretty nearly continuously manned table of literature and general info for anyone in our area who may not have realized that there is sf in the OC.
There are probably ways to enhance this presence, perhaps with a LOSCON panel on science fiction in the OC, or a new panel on the high profile presence of all sorts of cutting edge tech that was science fiction only a few years ago, centered around John Wayne Airport. I could probably get panelists to discuss the VR scene in the OC and likely bring in some show and tell with HMDs from Oculus or other developers.
This would not be out of place, as LOSCON has pioneered the use of physical workshops and hands-on demos in connection with such sources as the Makers, robotics, 3D Printing, VR (Around 1994 I hosted a LOSCON panel on VR), etc. And way back when - when personal computers were a new tech - LOSCON had all kinds of panels on issues and projections regarding computing. Various producers of personal computer software gave workshops on computer art or games design.
However, the odd thing is that there are individuals in the OCSFC who seem rabidly opposed to any active participation by the general membership and seem to resent a member who tries to engage and discuss with our speakers, even where that would be clearly beneficial.
What is the point of bringing in an outside speaker, after all? Is it purely to build the egos of the guests, or is it to serve the individual needs of the members?
This is more than just a rhetorical issue. I have witnessed in all sorts of organization that as soon as there is a label for a group, the label immediately hypostacizes into a new concrete in the minds of the members. Where there once was a collection of individuals with something in common that drew them together, that label follows the standard pattern for conceptualization, implicitly a new concrete object created out of nothing but mental processing. Believe.
Many people - or "group members" - will predictably become enthralled with the new thing, feeling that they are part of something bigger than themselves, and will look for fetishes by which to energize their emotional attachments to it. Think baseball fans. Or computer clubs. Or political parties. Or sf clubs. And Heaven help the "member" who expresses his or her individuality, particularly in opposition to the edicts of the de facto leaders.
Thus we will see loyalty tests emerge, such as a demand for participation in group activities. Or blocking totally unrelated attempts at communication by members who are perceived as being out-of-step. See Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer."
Sometimes the loyalty test is self-generated, as in the case of a member of the long defunct "Amiga Friends" group in the OC. The individual in question had long hated Commodore and was a member of the Atari clique that had left the Atari for the Amiga, following Jay Minor. He explained to me how he had bought a used C64 solely for the purpose of destroying the C64 software market. He spent endless hours collecting pirated C64 software and then offered it at the "special meetings" at which the "collectors" traded the new floppies. He was seen as a heroic player in that group, laughing out of the other side of his mouth at the dollars lost by the software creators.
Or, it can be policy set by some In Group, as happened repeatedly at the North Orange County Computer Club. When the Amiga came out, there was an immediate demand for an Amiga SIG at NOCCC. The Board of NOCCC, which was strongly attached to Microsoft, then decided without consultation with the members, to replace the elected acting Chairman of the new SIG with their own hand-picked leader. Later we were blocked from access to the NOCCC website by a single individual who hated anything that wasn't CP/M or DOS. He was the website sysop. Then there was the election for the Board in which I was a shoe-in - until one of the PC Board members convinced another member of our SIG to run against me, thus splitting the vote and ensuring the Microsoft hegemony.
Meanwhile, at the OCSFC my impression is that we mere club members may be seen by the In faction as an uppity nuisance if we try to engage. One member started pointedly holding up a watch whenever I raised my hand to ask a question or make a comment. I checked my own times against this member and found that she was far more verbose than I.
This member is of course actually one of the worse offenders for hijacking speaker's threads and clearly sees raising one's hands as a sign of weakness. Thus, when I attempted to ask some questions of Craig, I was almost instantly cut off and the meeting was shut down. What could have been salvaged was lost. Hoffer: "Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength."
The August meeting, however, was in sharp contrast to the previous debacle. The well-known sf/horror/fantasy author, Steve Barnes, took over and immediately asked for audience input - basically whatever anyone wanted to discuss. Steve is a great speaker, along with his other talents, having hosted a sf radio show for several years, and so, what resulted was a dynamite meeting, with several people eagerly taking notes on Steve's discussion and continuing the discussion out in the parking lot.
In sharp contrast to the usual top down authoritarian OCSFC format, Steve encouraged long questions and responded in kind, smoothly integrating material and topics that he was involved in into his answers, some of which took more than 10 minutes. He also asked the audience's opinion on several occasions. Overall, this was one of the most satisfying meetings in OCSFC history.
The September meeting, however, was back to usual. The Heinlein Society was back - and I had high hopes that it would not be as bad as their previous visit. For that previous meeting my guess is that they were asked by one of our regulars specifically not to discuss economics or politics or technology or science.
Unfortunately, most of Heinlein's focus was on those topics, so what did that leave? No matter. Content? All that seems to count is craft. Only ideas about the art of writing as such may be expressed or discussed. One of the members of this clique even decreed at the club's New Year's party a few years ago that all political discussion would end within ten minutes of her arrival.
Oddly, however, some of us who label ourselves as sf fans are in it for the science-related ideas, and that includes the science of politics and other "soft science."
Somehow, for ~63 years, I have managed to delude myself that science fiction attracted me and numerous other readers by virtue of its projection from the mundane to the new and different, setting the scene for a novel perhaps focused on space travel, or cyberwars, or ubiquitous augmented reality, or some social dystopia, or what it might be like to REALLY change gender on the fly.
While the particular science being tweaked to the tune of some clever "What If?" varies as widely as the sciences themselves, there are key elements that commonly lead us to label a novel or movie as sf, or fantasy, or horror. There are borderline cases galore, to be sure. The distinguishing factor that makes something "Science Fiction" is not just some flashy new technology, but rather how the technology brings an idea-driven plot into the realm of plausibility, demonstrating how the science can change us in the real world.
On the fantasy end of the sf spectrum, it is considered acceptable to include elements that are definitely NOT part of the scientific lexicon. One episode of TNG, for example, featured ghosts. They were dressed up with another tech-sounding descriptor, but that's what they were. Star Trek and even more so, TNG, casually borrow tropes that are really just fantasy dressed up and labeled to look like science. Those of us on the Hard Science side cringe at these and try to excuse them on the basis that something similar in effect could actually be plausible - so blame the scientifically ignorant Hollywood script writers.
But, instead of discussing Heinlein's ideas related to the multitude of verboten subjects he so eagerly embraced, we got endless talk about awards that Heinlein had garnered and other tame, safe subjects that few people could possibly remember. Forget politics - what about SEX!! Heinlein was always the radical and "deviant" sexuality was not just interlaced with other topics in his fiction - and non-fiction - but actually was the main focus of such novels as "I will fear no evil." Needless to say, there was ZERO discussion of sex at the meeting. This IS the OC.
It takes work to make Heinlein boring, but we definitely had no slackers on that front. It seemed almost fortunate that the only outlet for the endless awards discussions was a laptop - once again the AV was not tested - with no sound amplification. A few people right up front could probably hear what was being said and perhaps were actually able to see the screens of talking heads.
On top of everything else, the main speaker from the Heinlein Society had a very soft voice and seated himself such that over half of the attendees were behind him. When I pointed this out - that over half the audience could not possibly hear him, he moved to a slightly better position. But then we went to the unwatchable videos for the next thirty minutes or so.
Finally a different speaker from the Heinlein Society took over with a huge booming voice and delivered some moderately interesting material about Heinlein's personal life and his work voluntarily tutoring various major sf authors on writing technique. At least we all could hear him.
I had really hoped that they would have some info on all the various groups that had actually tried to implement some of Heinlein's social science theories, such as the extended voluntary family concepts that were such a large part of "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" - generally considered his best novels.
Over the years, I have met members of a number of interesting Heinlein based groups, such as "Glory Road" (later renamed Windward) and "Live the Dream." Some of them lasted for decades and involved dozens of members. I would still like to see if any of them succeeded long term or what impact these social experiments had on the participants.
I had no trouble googling "Live the Dream," a group that shows up every year at LOSCON with news about intentional families, but Windward appears to be gone right off the map, despite a long and interesting existence involving over one hundred family members. That isn't supposed to happen on the net, right? Things disappearing, I mean. Right?
The speaker, however, responded with sarcasm, as in ~"If somebody shows up on your doorstep asking to 'share water' ... best to shine them on." At least the Heinlein Society presenters were fairly consistent. Clearly, some people find boredom attractive.
I wonder how Heinlein would want to be remembered... Actually, I don't wonder; I'm sure that he would want to be known for his ideas, not for how many awards he received.

This piece was originally intended to lay out a limited complaint that applied specifically to the OCSFC. However, the problems I note there are echoed in organizations far and wide. Here in the OC, there are SO many MeetUps that never got past the first meeting, as the usual crew of trolls ensured. Some MeetUp groups charge a fee, which seems to help in screening out the problem people. But any group that starts to be successful can expect to be targeted.
I have documented the general nature of the problems in several other blogs, but I suspect and hope that this time I will have something new and exciting to say - perhaps even some real solutions... Hey, I nailed the "basic income" idea here on JoeUser well before it made it to the mass media. Today, hardly a day goes by in which it isn't mentioned. Have some faith.
Briefly, I would like to expose some of the key causes of how human culture worldwide is seriously self-destructing, with organizations such as ISIS forming the extreme point of a spectrum on which we are all positioned. The controls over communications in general have made participation in any sort of real discussion and debate problematical. What you DON'T see on the internet is sometimes more revealing that what you do...
It seems as though every little promising MeetUp group that has anything to say about ideas is immediately infiltrated by members of a kind of sociopathic Illuminati. They will volunteer to host meetings, make sure the refreshments are there, do all the boring jobs that only they seem to have time for, and meanwhile make sure that only particular brands of ideas are allowed to be communicated, critiqued or debated. Online, they will censor comments or discussions on the site, usually without notifying anyone.
At meetings, often, in a show of tolerance, people with independent thoughts will be allowed to say one or three sentences related to their point, and then the moderator will nod and then instantly switch back to what he or she sees as the worthwhile theme. Steve Barnes was again the exception, seriously questioning the audience member in order to ensure that he had the issue right and then asking him if he was satisfied with his response. Again, this was the only meeting of the OCSFC that I can recall at which multiple attendees were taking serious notes.
And, for the most part, even the acceptable ideas are never noted, followed up, etc. Instead they are totally gone within days of a meeting's end. There is no integrative approach at most of these amateur meetings and rarely any attempt at order. Instead, whoever has the loudest voice or the best ability to keep their presentation together over the din of opposing voices wins whatever the contest was about.
Which begs a question: What was the contest about? If it was about examining and critiquing new and useful ideas, then my experience is that most of these groups are a total failure. I don't think that that is what these little conspiratorial cliques are about, however. The same people here in the OC keep showing up at the same tired venues, hell-bent to silence any independent thought. I think that the plan is to milk all the energy and intellectual ambition and optimism right out of the souls of the memberships of these various groups. For whatever satanic cause, there are people who have virtually dedicated their lives to the goal of killing thought. And some of them are organized.
On two occasions, once about a decade ago and once within the past couple years, I have witnessed things that are somewhat grimmer than typical sociopathic trolling. Both times, groups advertising themselves as facilitating open communication and free thought via free public workshops instead lured participants into real-life hypnosis or mind control.
The tipoff is when you are handed a non-disclosure agreement. Then, perhaps an hour later, after various participatory events, such as being told to discuss something you really liked yesterday with the person sitting next to you,* you will be asked to line-up or form-up according to some pattern. Then you will be asked to pretend something while engaged in some kind of physical action. Perhaps you will pose as bees guarding a nest. Other participants then become dangerous wasps trying to invade that nest. So, you, the defenders, must prevent the wasps from getting past your defense. Thus, you form a closed circular group, all facing outwards, ready to shove any attacker away.
*Not what actually happened, but similar enough to place the reader in context, I hope.
The wasps, you are told, are symbolic of evil people who will try to invade and take over whatever progressive organizations you belong to. Keeping them out of the nest is equivalent to making sure that they never have the opportunity to present their evil ideas. The different directions that you, the defenders of the TRUTH, are facing represent the different ways the attackers would try to subvert your beliefs.
These kind of exercises come in unlimited variety, with the common thread of requiring active physical participation in a confrontational setting, techniques that were developed and honed by Mao's Red Guard. At some point the participant has to make some kind of real choice, generally to accept something trivial that one knows is false or questionable, that can take them into a state of suggestibility. Often, several such decision points are sequenced, burying the subject's free will.
Just as we are sure we will remember where we set our keys, and then where we set our pens down, and then our notepad or medicine, etc., so we do not have a very good internal monitor for long, disjointed sequences. Which makes hypnosis and mind control possible. We ignore the aggression of a bully when it is simply a verbal attack disguised as a joke because we want to avoid a nasty confrontation. The bully is counting on this.
https://psychlopedia.wikispaces.com/Suggestibility
Then, when round two ups the ante with demands for our money - just some spare change, my man, we find ourselves suddenly acting like cowards and wondering why. The why is that we have already entered a fantasy and effectively sanctioned our own defeat. I reference the scene in Eastwood's "Grand Turino" in which he draws down on several gang-bangers, "They're NOT your friends," etc.
Note that many participants, often all of them, appear to have been targeted to get a vulnerable profile. Younger participants are generally preferred, as they may never have formulated any clear ideas of their own about intellectual freedom and responsibility. Sure, why NOT keep out the evil nay-sayers. They feel good about acting out with other "truth-seekers."
These kids - and many adults who should know better - are being taught to see themselves as defenders of the TRUTH, and any future questioning of this principal will, to the extent that the behavior mod is generalized and internalized, immediately be subject to apprehension and hostility. Of course, there will always be those nasty people who think that the REAL evil is in convincing people to give up their intellectual independence. And THAT is where the non-disclosure agreement comes into play.
Whether you agree or not with the ideas being presented or the methods employed, you may not discuss any details or risk copyright infringement charges, which can be devastating. I am half-way convinced that this is the real motive for much of this kind of sociopathic insanity. Suppose that something I write here comes to the attention of one of the perps. I have been careful to only use examples taken out of my own head that are very different from the ones actually employed that I witnessed. Someone else may not have thought this through and could face fines of over $100K. Perhaps this was the real goal all along.
My own experience in dealing with this kind of evil goes back to the '60's, when I took up the invitation to speak at the anti-war rallies on campus. What I discovered quickly enough was that the texts of the other supposed spontaneous speakers were carefully planned, choreographed, practiced and critiqued well in advance by Marxist idealogues.
My attempts were cut off within less than a minute. So, the libertarian critique of the Vietnam war was rarely heard at these rallies, even though it could have brought many more people to the point of joining the war resistance. I'm convinced that many of the "New Left" activists would have been appalled at the war actually being ended with a non-partisan victory for peace. And, in fact, the ending of the war did lead to the end of most of their political hopes and ambitions.
When I intervened in the confrontation between Reagan and Nicaragua in 1981, handing Umberto Ortega a solution to defuse it, my leftist friends would not speak to me for months. As I pointed out to Umberto, his "friends" were leading him straight to disaster. Nicaragua was not going to defeat the U.S. military. But that confrontation would generate all kinds of support for the left in the U.S. and globally. Nicaragua should be PROUD to lead the parade of martyrs. Or not.

Flu breaks bad on Brevard
Some cases are critical or serious, according the Department of Health in Brevard County.
Flu breaks bad on Brevard Some cases are critical or serious, according the Department of Health in Brevard County. Check out this story on floridatoday.com: http://on.flatoday.com/Kmc9w7
FLORIDA TODAY; Published 12:07 a.m. ET Jan. 3, 2014
If you have not gotten a flu shot, you should plan to do so soon, health officials suggest. (Photo: GNS )
Brevard health officials are encouraging residents to get flu vaccines after reporting a recent uptick in cases across the county.
"We have had quite an increase in the reports from hospitals," said Barry Inman, an epidemiologist with the Department of Health in Brevard. He said the department does not keep a hard count on the number of cases, but of activity levels.
"We have had some severe cases that we have not seen in the past, at least not since the pandemic in 2009," Inman said, which is what has department officials most concerned.
The 2009 outbreak infected more than 43 million people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
Dr. Robert Beatty, medical director of the emergency room of Wuesthoff Medical Center-Rockledge, said his department treated more than 180 patients for influenza in December, but expects more in the coming months.
"The season usually peaks in January and February," he said.
The CDC says influenza kills about 36,000 people a year in the United States. Flu symptoms often appear quickly and include a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, fatigue and headaches or body aches.
The agency said in its most recent report that flu activity is increasing nationally, and it expects that trend to continue in the coming weeks.
The best way to avoid the flu is by getting vaccinated.
"We want people to get the flu shot as soon as they can," the health department's Inman said.

New drone software scouts crops 20 times faster
By John Swire	 7 September 2021 No Comments
Drone Ag has developed new functionality for its mobile app Skippy Scout including 360-degree field imaging, plant counting, and base station technology.
The new software will enable users of Skippy Version 2.6 to see a whole field with a bird's eye view. Rather than only viewing individual scouting points, the new interface, "Scout Spheres", offers high resolution overviews of entire fields combined with the ability to inspect leaf-level scout point data. "We are the only provider to offer users a drone-enabled, full field overview that includes the ability to focus on any area of the field and choose where to inspect at leaf-level," says Drone Ag founder Jack Wrangham.
Skippy Scout is capable of counting emerging plants 20 times faster than walking the crop. It can count cereals, OSR, soybeans, beans, peas, and potatoes, offering an accurate total of plants in an image, as well as the number of plants per square metre. "This development will enable existing and new users of Skippy to count emerging plants and then monitor the same fields to establish an accurate green area index (GAI) as the crop develops," he says.
A new base station, named "Skippy Nest", is one of the first in the world to offer autonomous drone flight by a user in any location. This will enable a member of the Drone Ag team to fly a user's drone remotely. The farm can be located anywhere in the world and, using the base station, Drone Ag will be able to connect with it to offer a field scouting service. "We are starting commercial trials next year in the hope that we can launch the base stations shortly after."
Skippy Nest
The solar powered base station protects and charges the drone and can be remotely connected to by one of Drone Ag's pilots. "By operating in this way, we can offer farmers and agronomists a service that will scout fields up to 20 times faster than on foot and email them PDF reports of GAI, weed and pest data in real time."
Drone Ag has sought crowd funding to develop Skippy Scout and is now entering a third phase to help fund the new base station technology. "We are farmers and we wanted other farmers to share in the development of our technology. Crowd funding is crucial to our product development, and we are looking to raise a further £1.45 million in this third phase which will open in October. Those interested can register their interest now at www.skippy.farm/invest."
The new 2.6 version of Skippy (2.6) also features terrain aware route planning which halves flight times to maximise battery life and offer users the fastest scouting technology. "The amount of time being saved will enable farmers to concentrate on the problem rather than spend all their time finding it, only to find they are too late to make a difference," he concludes.

Help and advice for ACASTER SELBY WITH APPLETON ROEBUCK: Geographical and Historical information from the year 1890.
ACASTER SELBY WITH APPLETON ROEBUCK: Geographical and Historical information from the year 1890.
Bolton Percy Parish main page
Stillingfleet Parish main page
Wapentake of the Ainsty of York - Rural Deanery of Bishopthorpe - Archdeaconry and Diocese of York.
This parish comprises the townships of Acaster Selby and Appleton-Roebuck. the united area of which is 4,244 acres, and the population, according to the census returns of 1881, 556. The first named township was formerly included in the parish of Stillingfleet, but was, by an Order in Council, dated 13th November, 1850, formed into a separate ecclesiastical district. In 1875, the township of Appleton-Roebuck was detached from the parish of Bolton Percy and added to Acaster Selby, thereby forming the new parish of Acaster Selby-with-Appleton-Roebuck. It lies on the west bank of the Ouse, a little below York.
The township of Acaster Selby comprises 1,523 acres of land, solely the property of Sir F. G. Milner, Bart. It is valued for rating purposes at £2,254, and had, in 1881, a population of 115. Acaster bears unmistakeable evidence in its name of a Roman origin; but every trace of the fort or castrum, which the imperial soldiers erected and garrisoned, has long since disappeared, and its site has been forgotten. The camp, here, guarded the waterway of the wharfe leading to Calcaria, whilst a little further up the Ouse, at Acaster Malbis, stood another camp to protect the approach to Eboracum (York) by that river. These two Acasters were distinguished by their relative positions, and in ancient writings this parish appears as Nether Aulcaster. It has borne its present addendum of Selby for six or seven centuries, since its annexation to the Abbey of Selby. It was given to that house by Osbert de Arches, high sheriff of the county in the time of the Conqueror, and the grant was afterwards confirmed by Richard I.
At an early period (but the date is not certain), a college was founded by Robert Stillington, for a provost and three fellows, one of whom was to teach a school. It was dedicated to St. Andrew, and continued to fulfil its useful purpose till the Reformation, when it was swept away in the general wreck of religious houses. Its net annual income was £27 13s. 4d. The site was granted by Edward VI. to John Halse and William Pendred.
The village is pleasantly situated on the west bank of the Ouse, 7½ miles south of York, The church, which is dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, is a neat Gothic edifice, erected by the late Sir W. M. S. Milner, in 1850. It comprises a chancel, nave, south porch, vestry, and open bell turret, containing one bell. The chancel window is a memorial of the founder, who died about five years after the erection of the church. There are also stained glass memorials to other members of the family, and a handsome one, by Meyer, of Munich and London, to Mrs. Chandos-Pole. The font is an ancient piece of Norman work, and is said to have once belonged to Kirkham Priory. The living, which is united with Appleton-Roebuck, is in the gift of the Archbishop of York, and held by the Rev. James Roy, B.A. The net value is £330, including two acres of glebe, with residence. The vicarage is situated in the village of Appleton-Roebuck, and was built in 1876. The tithe rent-charge, payable to the Dean and Chapter of York, is £291, and to the vicar of Stillingfleet, £82 10s.
The school, with residence for the teacher, was rebuilt by Sir William Milner, in 1850. It possesses an old endowment - a fee farm rent of £7 7s. 0d., - and is attended by about 20 children.
APPLETON-ROEBUCK. - This township, formerly in the parish of Bolton Percy, comprises an area of 2,780 acres, and is rated at £4,762. The population in 1881 was 441. The North Eastern railway passes through the township, but the nearest station is at Steeton Hall.
The manor and estate anciently belonged to Lords Latimer, and were carried by the marriage of Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of William, Lord Latimer, in the reign of Richard II. to John, Lord Neville, of Raby. He died in 1389, leaving a son and daughter, and was buried under an altar tomb in Durham cathedral. The widow subsequently married Lord Willoughby, of Eresby. The estate and manor passed from the Nevilles previous to 1426, and, in later years, were purchased by an ancestor of the present owner, Sir Frederick George Milner, Bart. There are also a few small freeholders in the township.
The village is situated about 2 miles by road and 1½ by the footpath from Bolton Percy, 7½ south-south-west of York, and 6 east of Tadcaster. The church (All Saints) was erected in 1868, at a cost of £2,500, raised by voluntary subscription. It is a very neat stone building, in the Early English style, and consists of nave, chancel, vestry, open bell turret, and south porch. The latter appendage is somewhat large for the size of the church, and more ornamental in character. The last window, of three lights, on which are portrayed Faith, Hope, and Charity, was erected by A. R. Creyke, Esq., in memory of his aunt; and on the south side of the nave is a two-light stained window, representing the Good Shepherd, a memorial of Archdeacon Creyke. This window was put in by the parishioners. On the north side of the nave is a window of two lights, to the memory of Mrs. Chandos-Pole. It is a handsome piece of artist work, by Meyer, of Munich, representing Christ with Mary and Martha. The organ was the gift of Miss Milner. The church is seated with open benches for 230 persons. The living is held in conjunction with Acaster Selby.
The Wesleyans have had a chapel in the village since 1818. It is a plain brick building, erected at a cost of £500. The National school was built, by subscription, about the same time, and an Infant school was added in 1841, at the expense of Miss Milner. They are supported by school fees, government, and private subscriptions. The former has an average attendance of 47, and the latter 20.
A Convalescent Home, for eight children, was opened in the village in May, 1883, by the Hon. Mrs. Beckett, by whom also it is supported.
Holme Green is a hamlet in this township, situated about a quarter-of-a-mile from Appleton Roebuck village.
Nun Appleton Hall, the property of Sir F. G. Milner, Bart., and the residence of William Beckett, Esq., M.P., is a large and handsome mansion, standing in a well-wooded park, with gardens covering about 20 acres of ground. These are beautifully laid out with devious arbours, parterres, and a lake containing many rare aquatic plants.
A nunnery formerly occupied the site of the hall. It was founded by Adeliza, or Alice de St. Quintin, in the reign of King Stephen, or, according to the Harleian MSS., in that of King John, for nuns of the Cistercian order, and dedicated to "God, St. Mary, and St. John the Evangelist," in pure and perpetual alms. At the time of its dissolution, in the reign of Henry VIII., the establishment consisted of a prioress and 18 nuns, whose clear yearly income was £73 9s. 10d. The site was granted to the Fairfaxes, and Lord Fairfax erected the mansion, which, with the estate, was afterwards purchased by Mr. Alderman Milner, a rich merchant of Leeds. This gentleman's son, Sir William Milner, was created a baronet in 1717. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Dawes, Bart., archbishop of York, subsequently of Canterbury, and represented the city of York in several parliaments. Sir William, his son, the second baronet, was high sheriff of Yorkshire in 1747, and for many years held the office of Receiver General of Excise. He married Elizabeth, the youngest daughter and co-heiress of the Hon. and Rev. George Mordaunt. The present owner is the seventh baronet, and third in descent from the above Sir William. He succeeded his brother, the late baronet, in 1880, and was elected M.P. for the city of York in 1883.
Woolas Hall, now a farmhouse in this township, was once a place of some consequence, and the moat by which it was surrounded may still be traced.
CHARITIES. - James Moyser, in 1694, left 20s. a year to the poor of Appleton. The poor of this township have a share in the interest of £50, left by the Rev. Francis Day in 1763; and also a share in the interest of £200 bank stock, left by Dame Mary, wife of Sir John Lindsay, Knight, and daughter of Sir William Milner, in 1769. In 1798 a benefaction of £100 was given, in memory of James Campey, to the poor of Appleton Roebuck township, the interest of which is distributed annually.

Q: Filter rel attributes I have several rel attributes on my page, I'd like to filter only the attributes rel="attachment
but the problem is that each rel=attachment attribute has some more rel, e.g.:
rel="attachment wp-att-53"
rel="attachment wp-att-54"
rel="attachment wp-att-55"

there are other names on the page for the rel attribute e.g:
rel="otherRel"

the following code is copying all rel attribute:
$(function() {
  $('a[rel]').appendTo('.two');
});

how do I filter only the attributes rel=attachment?
please see jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/strfcL0c/2/

A: You can use something like this $('a[rel^=attachment]')
^= stands for starts with so the resulting list will contain only elements that have a rel property of which value starts with attachment

A: Like so:
$('a[rel^="attachment wp"]').appendTo('.two');
