Category talk:TODO/Go

Things to do
Here's a list of things we need to add content wise, afterwards we'll do formatting and add other stuff near completion.

 * 1) Life and Death content, tesujis, shapes, ko
 * 2) Capturing race, eye vs eye, no eye vs eye, no eye vs no eye
 * 3) Pushing battle
 * 4) Fighting, shape and sabaki should be in the same section for brevity and to make the chapter more whole
 * 5) Joseki, no specific ones like the avalanche or star points for now, just focus more on the theory behind pincers and approaches( must include warning to players on how diastrous joseki can be)
 * 6) Aji
 * 7) Whole board thinking( direction of play, global fighting, etc)
 * 8) Middlegame objectives, can include invasions, reductions, walls, etc
 * 9) Endgame counting and techniques
 * 10) Sample game, ideally something not too historical and more recent, like 2016 onwards. This is due to AI changing the strategy and playstyle surrounding the game. If we use old pro games like from the 2010s and early 2000s, we will be giving players obsolete information. We must mordernise if we need to improve our skills.
 * AI, how to use and download

Things to improve:

 * 1) Add ladder breaker to capturing techniques
 * 2) Add more specific josekis, no historical ones!
 * 3) Enclosures to fuseki section
 * 4) AI analysis on certain positions
 * 5) Get rid or merge the strategy sections. Right now it is just rudimentary adivce on improvement, it should have actual strategy.
 * 6) Change the names of titles
 * 7) Avoid adding sensei library links, we may have to deal with link rot and the fact that some of their content is extremely rudimentary, which is a shame as it is the de facto online resource in the Western world.

A Guide to Discord/Permissions

Permissions allow members of the server to have specific privileges and functions, either at the server-wide level or in a specific channel. They are based on the roles assigned to members in a server.

Creating Roles
When you first create a server, there is only one default role: @everyone. As the owner of the server, you will already have access to everything and will not have to assign any extra roles or permissions to yourself. To create additional roles, click the downward arrow next to the server name, then select "Server Settings", "Roles", and "Create Role".

Customizing Roles and Permissions
Give the role a name, then select the "Permissions" tab of the role you've created to see the list of Permissions available. Browse the list and choose which permissions you want to to make available with the role. Save changes when you have made your selection.

Assigning Roles
Select the "Manage Members" tab and for the list of server members and choose who you want to assign the role too. Alternatively, you can select a user's avatar and select the "+" sign under the roles section to add roles.

Creating Channel Permissions
Hover over a channel and click the cog icon to access the channel settings. Select the "Permissions" tab. By default, everyone will have access to all features of a channel. Click the check boxes to allow or deny select permissions. Click the "+" sign to add roles or specific people to manage channel permissions, then assign the permissions to that role or person.

Creating Category Permissions
Right click the category and choose "Edit Category." Select "Permissions" to modify permissions and add roles. This will ensure that every channel in a category will have the same permissions.

Cookbook:Welsh Fruit Bread (Bara Brith) III

This variation for bara brith is also popular and uses baking powder and bicarbonate of soda as raising agents, rather than yeast. Soaking of the dried fruit in tea for several hours is essential to the taste and succulence of the loaf.

Ingredients

 * 4 oz dried fruit
 * Brewed black tea
 * 12–14 oz brown or wholemeal flour
 * 3–4 oz brown sugar
 * 1 teaspoon mixed spice
 * 1 teaspoon baking powder
 * ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
 * 1 egg
 * Glacé cherries (optional), chopped

Procedure

 * 1) Soak the fruit in tea for several hours. Strain, retain both fruit and tea.
 * 2) Mix the flour, sugar, spice, baking powder and bicarb.
 * 3) Add soaked fruit to the dry ingredients, then start to mix.
 * 4) Add the egg, and continue to mix.
 * 5) Add the black tea in small amounts, mixing as you go.
 * 6) Continue to add the tea until the mixture is thick but runny—it should cling to a spoon, but any excess should drop off easily. If you have used up all your tea, a drop of milk can be added instead to achieve this consistency.
 * 7) Add the chopped glace cherries, which will further increase the moisture of the batter.
 * 8) Pour into a greased baking tin, and bake at 190°C for approximately 90 minutes. Loosely cover the top with foil for the first hour, to avoid burning. Once cooked, turn out and cool.
 * 9) Serve sliced with butter and a cup of tea.

Infrastructure Past, Present, and Future Casebook/U.S./Mexico Border Infrastructure

= US-MEXICO BORDER INFRASTRUCTURE = This casebook is a case study on the US-Mexico border infrastructure developed by Abdulsalam Dreza, Noah Panchure, Anna Antonio-Vila and Assaf Sametip as part of the Infrastructure Past, Present and Future: GOVT 490-004 (Synthesis Seminar for Policy & Government) / CEIE 499-002 (Special Topics in Civil Engineering) Fall 2023 course at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government and the Volgenau School of Engineering, and Sid and Reva Dewberry Department of Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering. Under the instruction of Professor Jonathan Gifford.

1.1 Historical Overview

 * The demarcation of the current United States-Mexico border was solidified in 1848, creating the world's most traversed border, with around 350 million legal crossings each year.
 * Stretching approximately 1,954 miles (3,145 kilometers), the border's importance emerged in the 19th century following Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821.
 * The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, concluding the Mexican-American War, designated the Rio Grande as the international boundary and transferred vast territories including modern-day California, Arizona, and New Mexico to the United States.

1.2 Importance of Infrastructure
The maintenance and shaping of the U.S./Mexico border are heavily reliant on infrastructure, serving as the backbone for logistical frameworks, technological systems, and physical structures that are essential for the movement of information, goods, and people.

In the broader context of diplomatic and international relations, the infrastructure at the U.S./Mexico border underpins over two centuries of collaborative engagement between the two nations. As of 2023, Mexico stands as the largest trading partner of the United States, with significant trade volumes underscoring the interconnectedness of the two economies. This is reflected in the flow of $263 billion worth of goods and services in just the first four months of the year, a testament to the vital role that border infrastructure plays in supporting and facilitating this immense level of trade. Long-standing agreements like NAFTA and ongoing dialogues such as the HLED are buttressed by the physical realities of infrastructure that make continuous exchange possible, evidencing the interdependence of these neighboring countries.

2.1 Pre-Colonial and Colonial Border Dynamics
The tapestry of the US/Mexico borderlands is woven with the threads of indigenous legacies and the scars of colonial incursions:

Once a fluid landscape, inhabited by tribes with intricate connections to the land, the advent of European colonialism introduced artificial demarcations, severing traditional territories and disrupting native societies. The swath of land that would become the contentious border followed the Mexican-American War, materializing from treaties like Guadalupe Hidalgo and the Gadsden Purchase, which reconfigured the geography into a rigid national divide. These early impositions of borderlines prefigured the complex interplay of indigenous rights and national sovereignties, shaping the contentious zone that continues to evolve today.

3.1 Physical Barriers
The evolution of physical barriers at the US/Mexico border reflects the changing policies and challenges of border management:
 * The informal beginnings of border demarcation gave way to more formidable barriers in response to concerns about smuggling and illegal crossings in the early 20th century.
 * Significant expansions of barrier construction were implemented from the 1990s onward, driven by a series of legislative acts aimed at curbing illegal immigration and bolstering national security.
 * As of the latest assessments, the border features a mix of tall fencing, walls, and vehicle barriers, each segment designed to respond to the unique geographical and security requirements of its location.

Physical Barriers

Physical barriers along the U.S./Mexico border, such as walls, fences, and vehicle barriers, have been central to efforts to deter unauthorized crossings. The border wall at Nogales, shown here, is an example of how such physical structures are complemented by additional security measures like concertina wire.

3.2 Technology and Surveillance
The integration of technology in border surveillance represents a shift towards a 'smart border' approach:
 * Autonomous surveillance towers, drones, biometric systems, and quick-response units constitute a multi-layered surveillance infrastructure that works alongside physical barriers to detect and prevent illegal activities.
 * The strategic use of these technologies allows for a dynamic response to border incidents and supports CBP in maintaining security with greater efficiency and less manpower on the ground.

3.3 Ports of Entry
Ports of Entry (POEs) serve as the arteries of legal travel and trade between the US and Mexico, underlining the economic and cultural interconnectivity of the two nations:
 * The operation of these POEs involves complex layers of security measures to facilitate the flow of people and goods while ensuring compliance with immigration and customs regulations.
 * Infrastructure at POEs includes advanced scanning equipment for cargo, dedicated lanes for pre-screened travelers, and facilities designed to manage asylum requests and process immigration documentation.

Geographical Context

The U.S./Mexico border spans four U.S. states and six Mexican states, encompassing numerous counties with diverse demographics and economies. This map provides a geographical context for the border, illustrating the counties that are directly affected by border infrastructure and policies.

4.1 Economic Impacts
The economic implications of border infrastructure are multifaceted, with effects on trade, commerce, and the livelihoods of border communities:
 * Efficient operation of POEs is crucial for trade, as they are key transit points for billions of dollars worth of goods and commodities that cross annually, supporting millions of jobs in both countries.
 * Infrastructure improvements that reduce transit times can lead to substantial increases in trade volume, highlighting the economic significance of border infrastructure investment.

4.2 Social Impacts
Social impacts of border infrastructure are deeply felt in border communities and extend to broader demographic and cultural trends:
 * The presence and nature of barriers can influence migration patterns, community cohesion, and cross-border family ties, making it a pivotal factor in the socio-cultural dynamics of the region.
 * Efforts to secure the border must balance enforcement with the legitimate economic and social needs of border communities, ensuring that security measures do not unduly disrupt local lives and economies.

4.3 Environmental Impacts
The environmental consequences of border infrastructure are a subject of ongoing concern and debate:
 * Border enforcement activities and infrastructure can have deleterious effects on wildlife habitats, migration patterns, and local ecosystems, necessitating careful environmental planning and mitigation strategies.
 * Water resource management is particularly challenging in the border region, where the infrastructure intersects with delicate desert ecosystems and cross-border waterways, making bilateral environmental cooperation imperative.

5.1 The Wall Debate: A Historical and Political Battleground
The concept of the wall has risen and fallen like the tides of political rhetoric and public sentiment:

Embroiled in partisan agendas, the wall has oscillated between a symbol of steadfast security and a monument to divisive politics, with administrations drawing lines in the sand that extend far beyond the physical barriers. Scrutiny over the wall’s effectiveness has become a recurring chapter in the broader narrative of national security, immigration reform, and humanitarian concern, with each twist and turn prompting a reevaluation of its role in the American saga. The ongoing discourse encompasses the fabric of economic, environmental, and ethical threads, each one pulling at the seams of policy and public opinion, and unraveling new challenges for the future of border integrity and human dignity.

5.2 Technology and Privacy: Surveillance in the Balance
The modern era introduces a digital dimension to the age-old dilemmas of border security:

Technological advancements offer a double-edged sword, sharpening the capabilities for surveillance while potentially cutting into the rights to privacy, casting long shadows of concern across communities living in the border’s embrace. The debate rages over the invisible boundaries set by digital monitoring, questioning the balance between protective oversight and invasive scrutiny, and whether the pursuit of security justifies the pervasive gaze of government. As drones soar and cameras peer, the effectiveness of such measures is weighed against the backdrop of civil liberties, with each innovation prompting a reexamination of the principles that guard not just borders, but the freedoms of those within them.

5.3 Migrant Narratives: The Human Cost of Borders
The border is more than a line; it's a nexus of human journeys, each marked by hope, hardship, and the search for a better life:

The multitude of reasons that propel migrants towards the border – from the ashes of conflict to the promise of opportunity – narrates a complex story of human migration, challenging the monolithic views often portrayed. The demographics of migration reveal a kaleidoscope of individual faces and stories, defying uniform classification and demanding a nuanced understanding of the migrant experience. Humanitarian concerns rise like a tide against the barriers, with each policy and physical fortification shaping the currents that carry migrants through perilous passages, leaving an indelible mark on the conscience of nations. Diplomacy and international relations ebb and flow around the policies of the wall, where each stone laid

6.1 Future Projects and Considerations
Looking forward, border infrastructure proposals continue to evolve with changing policy priorities and technological advancements:
 * Anticipated projects include further enhancements to POE facilities, increased integration of renewable energy sources into border operations, and the application of AI to streamline customs processes.
 * Considerations for future projects not only encompass security and efficiency but also community impact and environmental sustainability, reflecting a holistic approach to border infrastructure development.

6.2 Technology's Role
Technological innovation is set to further redefine the landscape of border security and management:
 * Predictions for future surveillance involve the greater use of autonomous systems, AI-driven analytics, and remote sensing technologies to maintain a robust yet less obtrusive security presence.
 * The expansion of digital infrastructure aims to not only enhance surveillance but also improve the speed and accuracy of biometric identification processes at POEs, optimizing both security and traveler experience.

6.3 Diplomatic Avenues
The future of border infrastructure is inextricably linked to the diplomatic relations between the US and Mexico:
 * Upcoming treaties and international collaborations will need to address the shared challenges of border security, migration management, and environmental conservation.
 * Enhanced bilateral cooperation is essential to manage the border effectively, with initiatives aimed at harmonizing security protocols and facilitating cross-border communication and response.

7.1 Modern Border Implications
Reflecting on the transformation of the US/Mexico border, certain trends and constants emerge:
 * Despite changes in technology and policy, the border remains a testament to the complex interplay of national security interests, humanitarian concerns, and the forces of globalization.
 * The border has consistently adapted to the shifting demands of its role as a frontier between two of the world's largest trading partners, while also serving as a symbol of the challenges and opportunities of international borders in the modern world.

7.2 Way Forward
The path ahead for US/Mexico border relations requires a balanced approach that acknowledges the multifaceted nature of the border:
 * A forward-looking perspective considers not just the imperatives of border enforcement, but also the potential for the border to act as a conduit for cultural exchange and economic synergy.
 * The pursuit of a harmonious future for US/Mexico relations hinges on the capacity of both nations to craft border policies that reflect mutual respect, shared interests, and a commitment to the well-being of border communities and ecosystems.

Border Security and Military Involvement

The role of the Department of Defense (DoD) in supporting the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) efforts to secure the U.S./Mexico border has been a subject of discussion and legislative action. Here, the CBP Provost testifies before a committee, highlighting the collaborative efforts between the DoD and CBP in border security and infrastructure management.

Chess Opening Theory/1. g3/1...e5/2. Bg2

= 2. Bg2 · Hungarian Opening, Main Line =

2. Bg2
White has fianchettoed their king’s bishop, placing pressure on the centre, and Black’s queenside. Black can respond with simple development (e.g. 2…Nf6), or grabbing the whole centre with 2…d5. In the latter case, we can expect a typical battle between the hypermodern and classical philosophies. Chances are about equal.

A Guide to Discord/Easter Eggs

Easter Eggs are secrets hidden by the developers of Discord within the app. Here is how to find them.

Snek
Follow the link to Discord's 404 page. You will see a GIF of the Discord mascot Wumpus at a Ramen shop. Click the board with a snake design in the bottom right corner to launch the Snek game, then click play to start it. Alternatively, you can enter the Konami Cheat Code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A,) to launch the game. This Easter Egg can only be accessed when you are using Discord on a web browser.

Discordo (classic)
Clicking the Discord logo in the top left corner 16 times will cause a voice to say "Discordo", a typical Japanese pronunciation of Discord. The audio will continue to play every time you open the app. To disable it, click the logo 16 times again.

Empathy Banana/Broken Magnifying Glass
If your search yields no results, Discord will display an "empathy banana" or a broken magnifying glass instead of the standard no results dialogue.

Copy username (TRUE)
Click on your profile picture, then click your username in the menu that pops up. You will see a "Copied!" message. Move your cursor away from your username to make the message disappear, then click on it again. You will receive a different message each time. The messages that appear in order are: "Copied!", "Double Copy!", "Triple Copy!", "Dominating!!", "Rampage!!", "Mega Copy!!", "Unstoppable!!", "Wicked Sick!!", "Monster Copy!!!", "GODLIKE!!!", and finally, "BEYOND GODLIKE!!!!". This Easter Egg is not available on mobile versions of Discord.

AMOLED Dark Theme (OUTDATED)
Tap your profile picture, then go to "Appearance" and tap on "Dark" 10 times. This will cause the background to go from grey to black. This is only available for the Android version of Discord.

Akuma Raging Demon
Press "Control + /" or "cmd + /" to open the keyboard shortcuts window. Then enter in this code: "H+H+ +N+K". This will cause your Discord window to flicker and display an animation resembling Akuma's Raging Demon attack from the video game Street Fighter.

Music Notes(fake)
Press "Control + /" or "cmd + /" to open the keyboard shortcuts window, then press any arrow key to hear the sound of a synthesized musical note.

Humans
Visit https://discord.com/humans.txt to find the Discord logo in ASCII art with a link to their "About" page. This is a reference to robots.txt, a file put on a web server that tells crawlers which pages of a website not to index.

Computer Man
Go to https://printer.discord.com in a web browser, and you will be redirected to a video clip from the Canadian television series Vid Kids.

History of wireless telegraphy and broadcasting in Australia/Topical/Columns/Sparks from Radioland NSW

CUT & PASTE OF ARTICLE ON COLUMN "MAGIC SPARK", TO BE EDITED

The "Magic Spark" column in Sydney's "Evening News" newspaper commenced Saturday 28 January 1922 and ran until Saturday 12 July 1924. It is thought to have been the first newspaper column devoted to wireless in Australia, though this needs to be confirmed by further research. The timing of the commencement of the column was at least fortuitous. The earliest columns highlighted the restrictive licensing practices of the day, especially in respect of amateur "experimental" transmitting licences; encouraged readers to write to their local members of parliament seeking relaxation of such provisions; and promoted the newish science of radio telegraphy and radio telephony. Its campaign (and those of others, especially the various State Divisions of the Wireless Institute of Australia) soon bore fruit with the Wireless Telegraphy Regulations 1922 legislative instrument. The publication period extended across the Wireless Regulations 1923 and oddly came to a conclusion around the time of the Wireless Regulations 1924. Anecdotally, the popularity of the column spread far beyond the traditional readership of the "Evening News" and today the column is highly regarded by radio historians.

Research to date has not revealed the author(s) of the column, but the consistency of style and purpose is indicative of a single author and this is supported by the consistent use of the nom de plume of "Dot Dash". In the final weeks of the column in mid-1924 the nom de plume became "Catwhisker" signalling a new author and indeed, an announcement in the column of 19 July 1924 indicated that henceforth the "Magic Spark" column would be printed every Monday.
