NASA pushes back launch date for James Webb Space Telescope, again
"The change in launch timing is not indicative of hardware or technical performance concerns -- rather, the integration of the various spacecraft elements is taking longer than expected," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

Sept. 29 (UPI) -- NASA's new target window for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope is between March and June 2019. The world's most powerful space telescope was previously scheduled to launch in October 2018.
"The change in launch timing is not indicative of hardware or technical performance concerns," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate at the agency's D.C. headquarters, announced in a news release this week. "Rather, the integration of the various spacecraft elements is taking longer than expected."
An international agreement with the European Space Agency required NASA to analyze the telescope's launch preparedness one year prior to the launch date. The assessment forced officials to reconsider their plans, and ultimately inspired NASA to push back the launch date once more.
JWST, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, was first conceived of in 1996. Along the way, the project has been replanned several times, each time pushing the target launch date backward -- from 2011 to 2013, from 2015 to 2018 and now to the spring of 2019.
RELATED Scientists work to keep NASA's space telescope in the dark
Scientists say the latest delay is largely the result of the complexity of the space telescope's sunshield.
"The combination of some integration activities taking longer than initially planned, such as the installation of more than 100 sunshield membrane release devices, factoring in lessons learned from earlier testing, like longer time spans for vibration testing, has meant the integration and testing process is just taking longer," said Eric Smith, program director for the James Webb Space Telescope at NASA's headquarters.
Unlike Hubble, which can be serviced by astronauts and have instruments swapped in and out, JWST must be in its final form before launch.
RELATED Webb telescope to study 'ocean worlds' in the solar system
The construction of such a massive and complex telescope has been a lengthy process. NASA had to build new facilities in which to build and test the groundbreaking telescope -- a painstaking and expensive process that may never be repeated.
"This may be the last [space] telescope that we build that is not modular," NASA administrator Charles Bolden told reporters last year.
Once it begins its scientific mission, though, astronomers are sure to rejoice as they begin to field giant troves of rich astronomical data.

The telescope's 18 hexagonal mirrors will field massive amounts of infrared light, allowing scientists to peer deeper into space with greater clarity and to study the universe's first generation of stars and galaxies. JWST will also help scientists study the habitability of nearby exoplanets.

You want to become an Athlete, or a 'Free Athlete'? 😉 Great! This Freeletics information website is intended for all who want to get a better impression on Freeletics training for free before they decide for or against this really tough workout program.
This is not the official Freeletics website, but an info website, privately operated by a Free Athlete for (future) Free Athletes.
Freeletics allows for an effective workout that focuses on fat burning and building muscles. The exercises are so-called HIT (high intensity training) and HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts. There's no need for any special equipment. All exercises can be done by using your own bodyweight!
Some of the information is still in German, because in case you didn't know: Freeletics is a workout program "made in Germany"! I will make sure to provide further info in English as soon as possible.

eisner awards, ep, jk, rbm, sc, The Eisners, weekend pattering |
Weekend Pattering--- And the Nominees Are...
by Scott Cederlund April 24, 2015
** I imagine a world where the Eisner nominee announcements are as big as the Oscars. Imagine instead of being released as a press release, the announcements would be on television and all of the pundits would start making the rounds dissecting what a group of people put together as the best comics of the past year. And then we would spend the next couple of months poring over the nominees, holding office pools and talking around the water cooler about who we think are going to win. The awards themselves would be black tie affairs (as if any comic creator owns a black tie) but we would all be let down by the celebrity host.
You may call me a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.
** In case you missed it, the 2015 Eisner Award Nominations were released this week. The actual awards will be given out on July 10th this year. These awards are given for books published in the previous calendar year, although it's hard to find that stated anywhere on the Eisner Awards site. I think it speaks the the depth of comics right now that there aren't a lot of comics or books nominated for multiple categories. Jason Aaron and Jason Latour's Southern Bastards is nominated as "Best Continuing Series" but not for "Best New Series," a category it's more than qualified for and would be one of the strongest contenders for. Digital books are getting more than their fair share of nominations in more than just the ghettoized "Best Digital/Web Comics" group. Two of the "Best Limited Series" nominees are digital comics (Daredevil: Road Warrior and The Private Eye.)
Of course, there are things to quibble about. Why didn't Richard McGuire get a "Best Painter/Multimedia Artist" nomination for Here (I know he's nominated for best "Writer/Artist" and I hope he wins but I'm also going to be greedy and want that book to get more attention) or why isn't Mariko Tamaki celebrated as a "Best Writer" for This One Summer, from beginning to end one of the strongest books of 2014.? It's all subjective as the Eisner's have always walked a line between popularity and true merit-based recognition. While Southern Bastards is great, Original Sin should have been enough to argue against Jason Aaron being one of the best writers of the year. As with all awards, it's all subjective.
And then there are the snubs. No Box Brown and Andre the Giant? No Bumberhead by Gilbert Hernandez? No Lucy Knisely or Gabrielle Bell? I'm not saying that these would be the winners as the best of 2014 but I think these are names that are missing from this list this year. And honestly, I would have put up Fantagraphics EC artist-based collection before Hermes Press's Pogo comics collections as "Best Archival Collection/Project."
Maybe I'm a bit elitist but I wish some kind of aesthetic could be figured out by looking at the Eisner nominees and winners. Ideally an awards ballot like this would set forth some kind of vision of comics and the year that was. But much like the Academy Awards, the Eisners offer more of a summary than a summation of what we liked. It's as reflective of the times as most "Top 10" lists are. And the Eisners have to envelop all of comics. That's a lot to cover.
** As a bit of prognosticating, is this the year that Grant Morrison wins "Best Writer?" He's actually never won an Eisner award and is nominated for Annihilator and Multiversity. Could the voters actually give it to him this year to cap off the victory lap that is Multiversity? If we were more like the Oscars, we would be trying to figure out how people are going to vote and this would be a valid discussion point.
** James Kaplan on this years Eisners:
It's a really strong field but there are a few points I find puzzling. Mostly the inclusion of Hawkeye and Saga in the best continuing series category. Hawkeye? I love that book but how many issues actually came out last year?* And Saga, I also love Saga but nobody who reads that book thinks this has been its strongest period. I also don't regularly read the Walking Dead so I'm not sure it's really something that belongs on this list.
If I were in charge I would've included Mind MGMT (ridiculous that Matt Kindt isn't nominated as a best writer/artist, or Michel Fiffe on Copra for that matter) and Lazarus, which is about as good as mainstream comics get. Of course I also would've included East of West but I know not everyone loves Hickman's work as much as I do.
I do think the best new series is such a strong field. Ms. Marvel, the Fade Out, Lumberjanes and The Wicked + The Divine (even though I'm not a huge fan) are among the best comics has to offer. If I had to pick one I'd probably go with Ms. Marvel if only for social impact, but my heart would be with Lumberjanes.
I also would have a hard time deciding between Multiversity: Pax Americana and Madman special. So very different but both such amazing single issues.
* Scott's note: according to Comixology, it looks like six issues of Hawkeye were released.
** Emilia Packard quickly chimes in as well.
I have read all of the Graphic Album - New! Category. Almost all of
them are pretty great (I thought Kill My Mother was kind of a
snoozer/not a very good transition from Fieffer's previous
illustration work).
I think they could have done way better in Kids Comix - Early Reader
especially - where are the Toon Books?
Also, hooray Gene Luen Yang! He should win everything, always. He's so
great at using established genres and putting a totally original spin
on them.
** And finally the boss Rob McMonigal has his thoughts as well.
I preface this by noting that I am on record as saying that awards are not something that matters greatly to me. They do not, for instance, make me more likely to read a comic I haven't already tried, nor do I think "Wow, I'm reading the wrong things!" if the Eisners (or Harveys or Hugos) come out, and very few things I personally liked are on the list.
However, in my decade or so of paying attention to the Eisners, I am hard-pressed to name a year in which there were more choices that personally aligned with my own reading. Beyond the personal friends who made the list, I can look at nearly every category and nod my head saying, "Yup, those were good books." Maybe not the books *I* would have chosen, but if they won, I could see the argument for them.
What's even better, in my opinion, is that it feels like this a group of nominees who are pushing the traditional Eisner boundaries. This really started in 2012, when Brigid Alverson was part of the Judges, but I feel like it's in full bloom here. Sure, you've got some of the usual suspects on there, but it's not because they just were out there--it's because they wrote or drew (or in some cases, both) really damned good books.
But the real question for me is this: If Stan Sakai manages to edge out Sergio Aragones, can he finally get out of that Groo lettering contract?
** All the Pattering that was worth the patter last week:
Rob M. covers Masks 2 #1.
Emilia recounts the time she had at this year's Staples Independent Media Expo.
Scott takes a look at Frontier #7: Sexcoven.
Rob M. looked at 30 'til 30.

Rob M. read Lost Property and told us about it.
James K. jumped into Bloodshot: Reborn #0.

Special Needs Planning: Who will watch over my child with special needs as they age when I am not able?
I know Lori Cochrane from our association at the local Professional Fiduciaries Association chapter where she is chair of the education committee. She is also a local, licensed professional fiduciary specializing in all matters of the person and practices a person-first-and-centered philosophy as a special needs and health care advocate. She earned her B.A. in Behavioral Psychology and her Master's Degree in Special Education from CSU, Sacramento. She is a professional member of the National Guardianship Association, Professional Fiduciary Association of California, The Arc of California, and the Placer County BAR Association. She has been helping families during times of difficulty and transitions since 2000. Lori can be reached at 916-705-7309 or Lori@CochraneCSS.com.
Will they be able to live independently? Will they have an adequate and dignified place to live? Will they be able to pay their own bills? Who will watch-over my child to ensure their needs are met?
If you have come to the realization of life-long dependence for your child, planning for their transition into adulthood will go a long way to ease your mind. Before your child turns 18-years-old, becoming an adult, it is important to plan for who will make decisions on their behalf if they are not able. Consult with an attorney to discuss whether assigning an agent with power of attorney or establishing a court conservatorship is appropriate.
Who can be assigned as a decision maker?
Parents are the likeliest chosen decision makers. The usual recommendation is to select one parent primarily and the other parent as an alternate. Both parents may be assigned as co-conservators if your adult child does not have capacity.
The usual recommendation when planning is to include a succession plan in the event you become unavailable, incapacitated, or die. You may consider including a close responsible adult as an alternate. Whoever is selected they must be over 18 years of age, and be willing to serve in this role.
The qualities of a person best suited to act as a decision maker for a person with special needs is someone who will act in the best interest of the person, separate from their own interests. They must be trustworthy and capable as a strong advocate navigating and adapting the plan of care as the person ages. They must have the knowledge necessary to preserve the person's public benefits and prudently manage their finances. Direct service providers or their employees may not serve in this role.
There are professionals who specialize in this area who can help you plan, manage services, and advocate for your adult child's best interest.
How will I know when it's time to seek help?
Planning for your inability to serve as your child's decision maker is wise. The loss of your ability or willingness to manage important things isn't likely to be black and white or happen overnight. As time progresses and the realities of aging become known, you as a parent may find yourself less-willing or less-able to manage everything for your adult child. Maybe you are feeling it is best to be busy in your own lives or you want to help your adult child become less dependent on you.
The need for less dependency or a less restrictive arrangement may become apparent. You may choose to step-back somewhat to provide your adult child the tools or resources which will be available to them as you become less available. Arranging for your adult child to live outside of your home with the necessary supports will be important to do before long. Finding an appropriate living arrangement along with navigating the maze of resources and public benefits, can be managed by a professional. You might consider involving a licensed professional fiduciary to help with the transition between your adult child being your dependent, to your adult child living independent of you.
What can a licensed professional fiduciary do to help the transition?
Licensed professional fiduciaries provide critical services to help protect and maintain quality of life for vulnerable people. When it comes to people with special needs, some professional fiduciaries who specialize can identify critical needs, manage a person's publicly provided services, protect their public benefits, and consult with doctors and attorneys as necessary.
A Licensed professional fiduciary can open an *ABLE Act account on behalf of a person, and serve as the legal representative managing the account.
A licensed professional fiduciary can also serve as a consultant, or as agent for power of attorney for health care and/or for finances. They can also serve as a court appointed conservator for a person with special needs under a limited conservatorship. Some fiduciaries specialize in serving as either health care agent or finance agent as trustee.
In California, fiduciaries are licensed and regulated by the state of California's Professional Fiduciary Bureau under the Department of Consumer Affairs. You can learn about the high standards and stringent requirements licensed professional fiduciaries are held to by visiting their website at www.fiduciary.ca.gov.

It's an unfortunate truth that elder abuse is more common than some assume. It affects four percent of the elder population every year. But, according to experts, less than one in 14 cases of elder abuse are reported to law enforcement authorities. This post will go over how to recognize and cope with abuse. Whether you're a senior citizen who wants to keep yourself safe, or a family member who is trying to prevent any issues, this will help you stay alert.
Elder abuse commonly occurs where the elder lives. In the home, abusers can be adult children or caretakers. It also happens in long-term care facilities, where nurses and caretakers take advantage of the elderly in some form. So, why does this happen? As they age, they become more vulnerable. They lose much of their physical strength, making it hard for them to fight back. Their mental state, as well, can affect their ability to protect themselves.
Physical – This may include pushing, shoving, slapping, pinching, hitting, and the like.
Sexual – Some people are surprised by this, but it does happen to older adults. More often, it's caregivers who take advantage of weaker senior citizens who can't stand up for themselves.
Psychological – Obviously, the other forms of abuse are going to have an effect on someone's psychological health. However, this can stand on its own as well. The perpetrator may threaten, speak abusively, become rude and sarcastic, and otherwise belittle the senior.
Financial – This involves the improper – even illegal – use of an elder's assets. They might take money or property, cash social security or pension checks for themselves, or coerce the elder in some other financial way.
Neglect – This is a passive, rather than aggressive, form of abuse, but is just as powerful. It constitutes more than half of all reported cases of elder abuse. The caregiver might fail to provide medication or food on time. They might neglect to help the elder with their hygiene. Even if the neglect is unintentional, it's still wrong and has a serious effect on the abused.
Oftentimes signs of abuse are passed off as symptoms of dementia, mental deterioration, or side effects of the elderly person's frailty. So, it's important to know how to spot it. Warning signs would include frequent arguments between the elderly person and their caregiver, or sudden changes in personality or behavior. Let's look at some warning signs for each kind of abuse.
Physical abuse is easier to spot. Look for unexplained signs of injury, such as bruises or welts. Broken bones and sprains would be an obvious clue. Don't simply assume it was an accident. You don't need to be overly suspicious, but you should investigate the causes of any injuries to be on the safe side.
Sexual abuse warning signs would include bruises around private areas, unexplained bleeding, and a sudden change in the elder's behavior. They could become more defensive, angry, or jittery. This kind of abuse has an especially profound effect on their psychological state.
Psychological abuse could be happening if the elder shows a sudden and marked change in personality, such as defensiveness, overreacting to small things, or crying easily. Gently approach your loved one to see if they'll open up about it.
Financial abuse warning signs include significant withdrawals from their accounts, items or cash missing from the household, and unpaid bills even when they have enough income for it. Look for any indication that their spending habits have changed, and find out whether they're handling their own finances, or if a caretaker has assumed responsibility without asking.
Dehydration, malnutrition, and bed sores are just a few signs of possible neglect. Keep an eye out if the home is unsanitary, or the elderly person is left dirty or unbathed.
If you're a senior citizen, you can also take action to protect yourself. Make sure your financial and legal affairs are in order. If they aren't, you can enlist professional help. It's also important to keep in touch with your family and friends, in order to avoid becoming isolated. And if you're unhappy with the care you're receiving in-home, or in a facility, don't be afraid to speak up. You can turn to a trusted friend or family member. There are also elder abuse helplines. The National Council on Child Abuse and Family Violence has compiled a list, which you can find here: https://www.nccafv.org/adult-protective-services-numbers.
By staying aware of the warning signs, you can stop abuse or prevent it from escalating any further. Find more information and resources from the CDC here, and from The NCPEA (National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse) here.

Los Dug Dug's (anteriormente llamados Xippos Rock) es una banda mexicana de rock, formada en la década de 1960. Su nombre proviene de la contracción del nombre de su estado natal, Durango: Dug Dug's.

Es considerada como una de las bandas más conocidas del rock mexicano y por su participación en el Festival de Rock y Ruedas de Avándaro, en septiembre de 1971, uno de los festivales de rock más importantes de la contracultura mexicana.

Desde el 2003 el vocalista Armando Nava, ha estado tocando parcialmente en conciertos con algunos integrantes de la alineación original, pero a finales de los años del 2010 Armando hizo una nueva alineación con nuevos integrantes.

Historia

Formación

En 1960, se había formado en la ciudad de Durango, una banda llamada Xippos Rock, formada por algunos estudiantes de bachillerato, nativos de dicha ciudad: Clemente Palencia (voz), Roberto Miranda (guitarra) y Moises Muñoz (bajo). Tiempo después, al cursar la universidad en el centro del país, es invitado Armando Nava al proyecto; así como Jorge Luján, instruido por Nava en cuanto a tocar guitarra. Posteriormente, se une Sergio Orrante en la batería y Francisco Alcalde en las vocales, así como Jorge de la Torre en las vocales, quien tocaba el pandero y la guitarra. Con dicha formación, comenzaron a tocar para estaciones locales de radio, usando como equipo una silla al revés y guitarras acústicas. Actuando también en lugares locales y teatros (como el teatro Ricardo Castro) así como algunas fiestas. Las canciones que entonces tocaban fueron covers de bandas mexicanas de la época, como Los Teen Tops, Los Locos del Ritmo, Los Rebeldes del Rock, Los Hooligans, etc.

Inicios en Tijuana

El padre de Armando Nava era agente de ventas y se mudó con su familia a la ciudad de Tijuana, Baja California, como frecuente necesidad de viajar que su trabajo implicaba. Fue así como una vez, al cabo de un año de radicar en dicha ciudad, Armando encontró la manera de volver a Durango y llevar a la banda Xippos Rock a operar desde Tijuana. De esta manera, se consolida la formación fundadora de la banda: Armando Nava (guitarra), Jorge Luján (vocales y guitarra), Jorge de la Torre (voz principal y pandero), Sergio Orrante (batería) y Moisés Muñóz (bajo). Después de realizar actuaciones en Mazatlán y Obregón, la banda decidió cambiar su nombre a Los Dug Dugs antes de retornar a Tijuana, dos meses después de lo cual, Sergio Orante decidiría regresar a Durango a terminar el bachillerato.

Aún en Tijuana, después de tocar regularmente en un bar llamado Sans Souci, mejor conocido como Mike's Bar, comienzan a tocar a lo largo de la frontera norte. Durante ese tiempo, se convertiría en la primera banda mexicana en tocar tanto covers como canciones originales en inglés, creando así una vertiente conocida como Onda Chicana, movimiento que integró a su vez bandas como Bandido, Three Souls in my Mind, (hoy el Tri), Peace and Love, El Ritual, La Tribu, El Amor, Ciruela, La Tinta Blanca, La Cosa Nostra, Los Locos, La División del Norte, Luz y Fuerza, La Caja de Pandora, entre otras.

Desde Tijuana a la Ciudad de México

Después de algunos meses de operar desde Tijuana,los Dug Dugs deciden trasladarse a la Ciudad de México, haciendo actuaciones en El Harlem Cafe, el Cortijo, cafés cantantes y, posteriormente a lugares como El Trip Cafe y Hullabaloo Cafe. Entonces, la popularidad de la banda empezó a extenderse por la ciudad, al grado de llegar a ser invitados a realizar actuaciones en foros de televisión.

Desde Nueva York

Comenzando 1968, la banda se muda a la ciudad de Nueva York y hacen sus primeras grabaciones originales en un estudio local y deciden regresar a la ciudad de México, sitio donde comenzarían a consolidar su carrera, sobre todo, después de haber participado en el Festival de Rock y Ruedas de Avándaro en septiembre de 1971 y, a la par de ellos, sacan su álbum debut. Sus éxitos en ese tiempo fueron: "Lost in my world", "Let's make it now", "Cambia, cambia", "Smog" y "Al diablo con la gente". El resto de su discografía la concebirían bajo la censura por parte del gobierno y los medios de comunicación durante las décadas de 1970 y 1980.

Lib Dem Gain! Byelections since June 2016
3 years on from the EU referendum
Three years on from the 2016 referendum and we are still in the EU.
This in itself is a huge achievement. It is also a fact that I find myself reminding journalists and political figures of fairly frequently. In three years we have come a long way. On the devastating morning after the referendum, I was numb. It felt like it was a foregone conclusion that Brexit would happen, and our country would inevitably have to undergo the associated irreparable damage. Very quickly it became clear that wasn't the case.
The day after that referendum, then Liberal Democrat Leader Tim Farron announced that our party would campaign to give the people the final say on whatever deal came out of the Brexit negotiations. This final say would ensure that people were happy with the deal and that if they weren't, we could stay in the EU. Since then we have campaigned tirelessly to secure that people's vote. Our growing number of members and supporters have been passionate and inspirational in their resolve. Our party is unapologetically pro-EU and we have fought tooth and nail for the last three years to keep the UK's place in Europe.
It felt like it was a foregone conclusion that Brexit would happen. Very quickly it became clear that wasn't the case.
We have knocked on doors, set up street stalls, taken part in local debates. We have had a huge presence at one of the largest marches the UK has ever seen. At every stage of the arduous Parliamentary process, we have tabled amendments for a people's vote. Liberal Democrat MPs have at times marched through the voting lobbies alone, defiant, knowing that we cannot bear to look back and feel we could have done more.
Increasingly, our voices have been heard. More and more parliamentarians from all parties have joined us. The last people's vote amendment received more votes in favour of it than any other option ever had - including the Prime Minister's deal. This momentum is huge and it's growing all the time.
It's become clear that Brexit is not what we were promised.
It's become clear that Brexit is not what we were promised. The process has been messy, costly, and long. The deal we were presented with was shoddy. Now potential new Prime Ministers are suggesting that the best option is to crash out of the EU. Something no one was advocating in 2016. Liberal Democrats remain certain that the UK belongs at the heart of the EU.
We have been unwavering in this belief for three years and longer. We have always been internationalist, open, democratic. We have always believed we should be tearing down walls, not building them. In the recent Local and European Elections, Liberal Democrats shouted this message loud and clear. Bollocks to Brexit was in bold across our EU manifesto. It paid off. We secured incredible results in both elections and now have a strong base of new members, Councillors, and MEPs ready to keep fighting the good fight.
We are closer than ever to stopping Brexit and Liberal Democrats will not rest until we do.
The immediate battle in Westminster is now focused on stopping Conservative efforts to crash the UK out of the EU without a deal. We know how catastrophic this would be for our NHS, jobs and the environment. We will block the dangerous antics of the likes of Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab and Esther McVey and meanwhile the fight to give the people the final say continues.
We are closer than ever to stopping Brexit and Liberal Democrats will not rest until we do. Three years on from that 2016 referendum, we are still in the EU and our voices are growing stronger and louder as each day passes. Liberal Democrats won't let up until we have won this battle for the heart and future of our country.

My campus lab has the Dell desktops. I am not sure the model, but the network devices are Broadcom BCM43228. As a result, after installation of the Ubuntu (they were not installed by me), Ubuntu cannot get WiFi connection to online.
Since my student mentioned that Windows can use the ethernet cable to share the wireless network, I asked him to help to share the wireless network from Windows on the other Dell desktop, and connect to the target Dell desktop.
Next, I followed this Q and A post, just followed exactly all the commands there. Then reboot.
Yes! It works. Now, my students can test Ubuntu.

Senior MIT Lab Staffer to Resign Over Epstein Donation
Ethan Zuckerman, director of the lab's Center for Civic Media, says director Joi Ito failed to disclose the deceased financier's funding of the research center.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A senior employee of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab says he plans to resign over revelations the lab took money from Jeffrey Epstein. Ethan Zuckerman, director of the lab's Center for Civic Media, says director Joi Ito failed to disclose the deceased financier's funding of the research center as well as money Ito accepted for personal investments in tech. Epstein was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges when he…


I knew something about the superstition but wanted to give knives as a wedding gift (they were on the register). I was told I had give the penny with the knives.
So, you are filthy rich and opening a new restaurant. In sleepy GC. But still, shouldn't food have been delivered days before? Hahaha! Lola is now stuck with food she didn't prepare for, three hours before opening her new restaurant. Personally, I would walk out, given these conditions. But no probs for Lola, she has Tessa as her cheerleader. Oh, and Kyle, who gives her a special floating heart necklace. Which she is happy to display for Dummer. Instead of prepping the food!
Wow. I don't watch the show anymore, so went to that site and I realized that Kelly still does that completely narcissistic and banal BTS "fashion" segment. Good for her, she's making a killing.
It is especially outrageous when you consider that Sharon has two front doors!
MTS put her all into that performance! Q: was Marc Mergeron Dina's son or husband?
What am I missing in the JV tribute photo? Which one is Mia?

In economics, the Jevons paradox (/ˈdʒɛvənz paɹədɒks/; sometimes Jevons effect) is the proposition that technological progress that increases the efficiency with which a resource is used tends to increase (rather than decrease) the rate of consumption of that resource. In 1865, the English economist William Stanley Jevons observed that technological improvements that increased the efficiency of coal use led to increased consumption of coal in a wide range of industries. He argued that, contrary to common intuition, technological improvements could not be relied upon to reduce fuel consumption.
The issue has been re-examined by modern economists studying consumption rebound effects from improved energy efficiency. In addition to reducing the amount needed for a given use, improved efficiency lowers the relative cost of using a resource, which tends to increase the quantity of the resource demanded, potentially counteracting any savings from increased efficiency. Additionally, increased efficiency accelerates economic growth, further increasing the demand for resources. The Jevons paradox occurs when the effect from increased demand predominates, causing resource use to increase.
The Jevons paradox has been used to argue that energy conservation is futile, as increased efficiency may increase fuel use. Nevertheless, increased efficiency can improve material living standards. Further, fuel use declines if increased efficiency is coupled with a green tax or other conservation policies that keep the cost of use the same (or higher). As the Jevons paradox applies only to technological improvements that increase fuel efficiency, policies that impose conservation standards and increase costs do not display the paradox.

Washington aims to monitor all-cash deals to crack down on money laundering
Amy Scott Dec 7, 2021
https://www.marketplace.org/2021/12/07/washington-aims-to-monitor-all-cash-deals-to-crack-down-on-money-laundering/
If an individual buys a property with only cash, the transaction may not raise any red flags. The Treasury Department is seeking to change that. Above: the U.S. Treasury building. Karen Bleier/AFP via Getty Images
Our weekly "Econ Extra Credit" newsletter is an unexpected way to learn about the economy, one documentary film at a time. Sign up to watch, and learn, with us.
The Treasury Department is seeking public input on a plan to increase oversight of all-cash real estate transactions to try to crack down on money laundering.
As part of a bigger anti-corruption push by the Biden administration, the proposal would expand on temporary rules in place in a dozen metro areas.
So how might more transparency affect all-cash sales, which have grown during the pandemic?
When a shell company pays all cash for real estate worth more than $300,000, title companies must report the names of the people involved — but only in some markets, like Miami, New York and Seattle.
Right now, if a corrupt official buys a penthouse condo with stolen money, "he can often do so without any red flags being raised, especially if he's used shell company and that purchase is done entirely with cash," said Himamauli Das, acting director of the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
But will tougher national rules discourage all-cash deals? Daryl Fairweather is a chief economist at Redfin, which looked into it.
"They do look like they've increased a little bit faster in places that don't have the rule in effect, but it's not a big enough difference to really know if the rule is decreasing cash activity," she said.
With so many people selling homes in expensive markets, like California, and buying in more affordable ones, like Texas, she expects the cash to keep flowing.
Follow the money: why the first indictment is full of money laundering, tax fraud and nothing on Russia
Why "equity" can mean "cash" in real estate and "fairness" in everyday language
Why Zillow hit pause on buying houses
Homeowners are building wealth at record rates without doing a thing
In this housing market, all-cash deals are king
Are house flippers feeling the pinch of higher mortgage rates and a cooling market?

Q: for loop in a bash script I am completely new to bash script. I am trying to do something really basic before using it for my actual requirement. I have written a simple code, which should print test code as many times as the number of files in the folder.
My code:
for variable in `ls test_folder`; do
    echo test code
done

"test_folder" is a folder which exist in the same directory where the bash.sh file lies.
PROBLEM: If the number of files are one then, it prints single time but if the number of files are more than 1 then, it prints a different count. For example, if there are 2 files in "test_folder" then, test code gets printed 3 times.

A: Just use a shell pattern (aka glob):
for variable in test_folder/*; do
    # ...
done

You will have to adjust your code to compensate for the fact that variable will contain something like test_folder/foo.txt instead of just foo.txt. Luckily, that's fairly easy; one approach is to start the loop body with
variable=${variable#test_folder/}

to strip the leading directory introduced by the glob.

A: Never loop over the output of ls! Because of word splitting files having spaces in their names will be a problem. Sure, you could set IFS to $\n, but files in UNIX can also have newlines in their names.
Use find instead:
find test_folder -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec echo test \;

A: This should work:
cd "test_folder"
for variable in *; do
#your code here
done
cd ..

variable will contain only the file names

I'm just off the overnight bus from Rainbow Beach to Airlie Beach. Ha, and the people here complain about long bus journeys – so comfy compared to thers on my trip, and it didn't seem long at all.
As expected (and as in Fraser Island), I arrived and it quickly pissed it down, so could be an 'interesting' trip, but it clears up more than it rains, guess the views, pictures and diving may just not be, well….perfect. Anyway, I've not had breakfast yet or checked in for the boat as I've been busy catching up and spending more money booking trips to Uluru (Ayers Rock).
I now fly from Perth on Tues 4th March to Alice Springs, then pick up a 3 day Uluru Safari with Kings Canyon, the Olgas and Uluru (Ayers Rock) with Adventure Tours Australia, then join a 2 day Boomerang tour from Alice Springs to Adelaide with Groovy Grape. I had hoped to do it all as one trip with Groovy Grape but the date I had to do it was fully booked. Anyway, I've heard mixed reports about 'the big stone' but I'm glad I'm heading up there now, despite the costs. Unfortunately I've done this as my planned dive trip to Ningaloo Reef at Exmouth was too expensive as I missed the cheap flights, and Kalgoorie and Esperance just didn't quite fit in timewise.
If I got the address right, you can look at my new travel calendar.
I hope to dive south of Perth next week around Dunsborough, then head to Margaret River area, returning for the weekend in Perth on Saturday or Sunday. Tonight I head on my Whitsundays trip.
Sorry for being poor on replying to emails – the net is more expensive here, I've been rushing around from place to place, and they don't like you plugging in laptops and USB pen drive – thus the lack of photos! Keep your fingers crossed for my weather the next few days!
