He had downplayed the moment plenty, mostly out of respect for his job, for not wanting his old career to serve as a distraction for the new — even if the entire reason he has this new gig is because of the excellence with which he carried himself in the old one.
And yet …
It’s funny the things the memory retains, then recalls when properly motivated. And so on the night when the Brooklyn Nets officially retired the No. 5 that Kidd wore during his brilliant tenure with the Nets over in Jersey, Kidd was immediately able to remember the first time he saw someone receive that honor.
And it wasn’t a professional colleague, honored after years of honest service. It wasn’t in college, back at Cal, since Kidd played there when there weren’t a lot of candidates for immortality. No. This was back in high school, at St. Joseph Notre Dame High School in Alameda, Calif. The honoree was a senior named Calvin Byrd, now an assistant coach at the University of the Pacific, then a Villanova-bound senior for the Pilots.
Kidd was a sophomore. And the moment left an impression.
“Proof,” he said Thursday night, “that hard work pays off.”
His own career would further honor that notion, first at Cal — which did retire his jersey after he brought them the Golden Bears their first NCAA glory in more than three decades — and during a star-spangled career in the NBA, the best of which was spent in occasionally blissful anonymity in North Jersey, as Kidd remembered with a grin Thursday.
“I remember big crowds in Jersey,” he said, deadpan. “I remember opening night, 4,000, 5,000 people …”
The irony, of course, is his playing career as a Net demanded the kind of passion that the present-day Nets will likely inspire this year, when empty seats will be the outliers and expectations will be through the Barclays Center roof. And his nascent coaching career … well, it might not have been the worst thing to break in amid the widespread witness protection that used to prevail in East Rutherford, whether the building was named after Brendan Byrne, Continental Airlines or Izod.
The Nets have done a lot of traveling in their day. So have the jerseys representing the very best of that peripatetic history. None has traveled longer, or farther, than No. 25. Bill Melchionni wore it at the Island Garden and the Nassau Coliseum. It has hung in Piscataway, in East Rutherford, in Newark and now in Brooklyn.
Julius Erving? No. 32 only played on Long Island. But you’d better believe the Nets could play 300 more years and keep the party moving to Connecticut and Pennsylvania and Fire Island, and they’d sooner open those buildings without 3-point lines than without Dr. J’s number hanging from the rafters.
So yes: It may seem funny at first that Jason Kidd — who played exactly 37 minutes and 9 seconds in the borough of Brooklyn in his career — should see his brilliant Nets career commemorated two bridges and two rivers east of where he crafted his legend and his legacy.
It may be odd the Nets would choose to honor him in the preseason, and not wait until, say, Jan. 24, when the Nets host the Mavericks, the team Kidd not only entered the league with but later won a championship with. But Kidd has been pretty adamant about balancing two conflicting emotions at work here: gratitude over a splendid honor, while at the same time acknowledging that unlike other honorees who can repair to a VIP suite to enjoy their day, “I have to go to work.”
Someone pointed out that Mariano Rivera did, too, on the afternoon when the Yankees bid him farewell and retired his 42.
“True,” Kidd said, smiling. “But he got to sit in the bullpen a little bit.”
Kidd gets the bench. You could tell he was going to enjoy the night as much as the night would allow. But he had a job to do.

At first glance, this looks like a fairly standard Buddhist altar. There’s a Buddha, candles, and incense holder. There’s a meditation bell-in-a-box at Buddha’s right knee, and a supply of incense at his left. There is a baseball-sized moktok–a hollow wooden percussive instrument–draped with meditation beads at six o’clock, a black and brown striped stone draped with meditation beads at nine o’clock, and a snail shell draped with a wooden rosary at three o’clock. Yes, I like beads of either a Buddhist or Catholic sort: in good ecumenical (or heretical) fashion, I used to count my Buddhist prostrations with a Catholic rosary. (Lord Buddha and/or Jesus help me.) From this up-close view (and you can click the image to look closer), the only striking thing about my altar are the two bouquets of dead carnations in old, moldy water. A good Buddhist would take better care of her altar flowers…and she’d dust more often.
Viewed several paces removed, though, the meditation altar in my home office looks a bit less conventional: a bit more funky. Yes, that’s Jesus on the cross (in a triumphant resurrection pose) hanging above Buddha, and a stereo underneath. In front of the right stereo speaker are two chanting books (one falling apart from age and use; the second its replacement) and a pocket-sized copy of the Dhammapada. On top of the stereo is the CD case for Peter Gabriel’s Passion, the Islamic-infused soundtrack to The Last Temptation of Christ. Above my meditation mat and cushion, a banner says “Buddha,” but the overall statement here is “Eclectic! Ecumenical! Eccentric!”
My corner of the blogosphere has been buzzing with talk of altars–home altars–those quiet corners of our abodes where we display whatever sort of objects and amulets remind and return us to our practice. It started with Dave and moved to Rachel, with various other bloggers and blog-readers contributing to comment threads along the way. Whether you see an altar as a site of sacrifice or a point of visual focus, it seems quite a few of us have actual altars–or shelves of precious mementos that function like altars–that point to the sacred nature of home and hearth.
In last year’s post on Buddhist iconography, I explained that Buddha statues and the altar accoutrements that accompany them aren’t the trappings of idolatry. Instead, Buddhist altars are points of visual focus: fancy or funky reminders of our own intrinsic awakened nature. In thinking more about home altars versus the fancy type you see in churches and Zen Centers, I realize that our altars are a kind of alter ego: a visual expression of what we cherish and value. Looking at my home altar, you can tell I’m ecumenical not orthodox, I’m a bit funky or even eccentric, and I’m not particularly particular when it comes to housekeeping. Perhaps there’s a coffeetable book in this notion of Altar Egos: My Altar, My Self.
So, what’s on your altar?
UPDATE! As either fate or chance would have it, Fran blogged her home altar yesterday, and her post reminded me that I’d forgotten to mention Augustine’s colorful contribution from July 15th. It seems I need all sorts of reminders, altar-oriented and otherwise, to keep my forgetful mind on track.

BOZEMAN — It's a harsh reality that young people in their teens and early twenties make up a large portion of the homeless population in Bozeman. HRDC's Blueprint Continuum provides housing and support for these young people.
Blueprint Continuum Coordinator Jeremy Alcoke said they are always looking to expand their outreach and raise more money.
“When people think of youth homelessness, they’re overlooked and you don’t see them like you do our adult population,” said Alcoke. “They’re not going to be out flying signs. They’re sleeping on a friend's couch or sleeping in their car.”
Alcoke says last year, they offered rental assistance and housing to 57 young people experiencing homelessness in Bozeman.
Case Manager Demi Feder said the program also helps young people acquire the things they need to make progress toward their own stability.
“Like their lack of I.D. or health insurance, medical bills, or the ability to get a job,” said Feder.
One young person they helped came to the program after aging out of foster care. His foster dad, who passed away, was a Marine. This became that young person’s dream as well. The program helped him achieve that.
“We were able to prove him safe, stable housing to graduate high school and apply for the Marines,” said Alcoke. “I had the privilege of seeing him 2 years ago in his dress blues.”
Blueprint staff visit Bozeman schools twice a week to spread the word. They are hoping to expand their outreach to other cities. But, to do that they need to raise money.
Enter the "BOAR", which stands for the Blueprint Obstacle Adventure Race, their biggest fundraiser of the year.
Outreach Events Coordinator Emma Hamburg said the race will be unique and exciting.
“It's for everyone’s abilities, so you can make it as hard or easy as you want,” said Hamburg. “Expect to get a little bit muddy and a little wet, but the weather is going to be beautiful so it’ll be a good time."

Familial Episodic Pain Syndrome
|Familial Episodic Pain Syndrome|
|Genetics||FEPS type I - TRPA1, activating |
FEPS type II - SCNA10A, activating
Familial episodic pain syndrome (FEPS) encompasses a group of non-inflammatory, paroxysmal pain syndromes primarily affecting the distal extremities. These syndromes can be classified into three types based on the pathogenic gene involved: FEPS1, caused by transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPA1) gene mutation; FEPS2, due to sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 10A (SCN10A) gene mutation; and FEPS3, resulting from sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 11A (SCN11A) gene mutation.

The South Asia Flash Flood Guidance System (South Asia FFGS) has been launched, to assist in the provision of improved early warnings in one of the world’s most populated regions.
Operated by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the South FFGS is now providing the nation’s population with flash flood guidance and forecasts. IMD also acts as the regional center covering Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, providing forecast products, data and training.
The South Asia FFGS is funded by the United States Agency for International Development/Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) and implemented by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Hydrologic Research Center (HRC), while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a satellite data provider into the system.
It is part of a global FFGS program which currently provides early warnings to three billion people – 40% of the world’s population – across more than 60 countries. Under the program, the automated dissemination of information will leverage social media, so that the information reaches disaster management authorities in a timely manner.
Guidance for flash floods in the form of Threats (6 hours in advance) and Risks (24 hours in advance) will be provided by the system. This should enable all member countries to issue impact-based forecasting, at watershed and also city level, of flash floods.

Exploring Geographic Information Systems: Trends, Impacts, Future
The unprecedented wave we are currently experiencing in digitalization, robotics, artificial intelligence, IoT and cognitive computing is pioneering a visible shift from “physical to digital”. This is being dubbed as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), characterized by the “fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres,” according to the World Economic Forum.
Location or Geospatial data is of prime importance if we want to leverage the innovations of the 4IR, whether in terms of business growth or addressing sustainable global development challenges. The world has witnessed an exponential increase in the amount of Geospatial information available over the past few years, which can be used for informed decision-making purposes. How? Through Geographic Information Systems.
What is a Geographic Information System?
We can define a Geographic Information System (GIS) as “a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage and present all types of geographic data”, its application often custom-designed from organization to organization. GIS technology is essentially a geographic method of analysing spatial data, enabling interconnection of this data with comprehensive information.
Today, GIS has become a reliable technology for unveiling hidden geographic patterns with ease, and this benefits a variety of sectors where both enterprises and end-users get access to deeper location-based insights. The prime strength of GIS lies in its analytic ability to integrate different datasets – spatial and non-spatial – and produce relevant insights and predictions out of this.
The global GIS market size is all set for consistent upward growth, mainly because location-based services are now on the rise across sectors and platforms. The Global Market Insights, Inc. report states that the GIS market size is poised to exceed $9 billion by 2024.
Applications and Impacts of GIS Technology
“Driven by the digital revolution and fast-growing remote sensing technologies, GIS is re-engineering our view of the world and solving problems in unexpected ways,” shares Rabindra P. Osti, Senior Water Resources Specialist, East Asia Department, Asian Development Bank, in this blog. This is because, Osti goes on to explain, that GIS has gotten us rid of concerns like errors on data storage and extraction, duplication of data, lack of common data storage and handling platforms, poor data exchange, and recycle provisions.
Today, GIS is considered one of the most powerful visualization tools that forms a basis for smart mapping technology across business and consumer applications. Thanks to the feature of spatial and volumetric analysis, Geographic Information Systems can be used in optimization of Telecom & Network Services, in Accident Analysis & Hotspot Analysis, Transportation Planning, Environmental Impact Analysis, Disaster Surveillance, Hazard Forecasting & Warning Systems, Management of Natural Resources as well as manmade Assets, Soil Analysis & Irrigation Management, to name a few.
GIS can also be integrated with development benchmarking and project performance evaluation functions over the course of time, which makes it a suitable tool for assessing Land Use Changes, Demographic Changes, Infrastructure Developments and even Community Progress over time.
Sectors such as Banking & Taxation, Navigation and Survey use GIS systems in the quest for a digital-driven transformation. Integrated Command & Control Centres (ICCC) used for operating and managing myriad service operations in Smart Cities, including real-time monitoring, are built on GIS. The integration of GIS with BIM, SCADA, and SAP has been on a rise, and is completely transforming sectors like Infrastructure, Electric Utilities, Business and Finance. GIS is also on the forefront when it comes to creating hubs for data integration and monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals.
The Top Trends marking the Future of GIS
Openness of Data
Data democratization is one of the biggest trends for not just the Geospatial industry but the entire technology sector over the past few years. The conducive policy reforms India witnessed in the year gone by are on the same lines of Geospatial data liberalization. As a result, more and more organizations can enjoy access to open-source GIS software and open data, boosting the number of small businesses and startups pillared on GIS and location intelligence.
GIS and AR
With users becoming more and more comfortable with Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies, developers are certain to shift their focus towards integrating GIS capabilities into their applications, which will only enhance the meaning and relevance of these “virtual worlds”. 3D spatial information would likely be used to fuel Mobile GIS applications into creating immersive experiences with limitless possibilities.
Indoor Mapping, UI, and IoT
GIS technology is being increasingly used to develop indoor maps for large, complex public buildings not just for user comfort but also for faster emergency response purposes. Future interfaces are set to be more intuitive, allowing the user to edit, add, and remove elements, besides tapping into the Internet of Things to leverage all connected devices such as lights, signboards, cameras, etc, onto a single GIS platform.
Location as a Service
GIS is making a leap from governance and utilities to services-based applications that enable easier access to visualizations. The Location as a Service (LaaS) concept, which combines the three main categories of cloud computing services: infrastructure, software, and platform as a service, is bringing privacy protected physical location data to enterprise customers to enhance operational efficiency, increase customer engagement, reduce costs, and achieve better ROI.
Real Time GIS
The ability to collect and analyze Geospatial data in real-time is improving research processes and mapping systems, especially for sectors like disaster surveillance and emergency management services. Satellite imagery, remote sensing data, statistical models and crowdsourced information can be simultaneously collected, stored, superimposed, and analyzed in real-time for making well-informed decisions.
GIS in the Cloud
High-performance computing networks are on the rise, with tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Oracle stepping up serverless cloud computing services to enable quicker and easier spatial analysis without the need for costly and complicated server infrastructure.
3D Reality Capture
One of the newest and most interesting ways of visualization to have emerged in recent times, 3D reality capture enables building a 3D picture of a place based on drone or aircraft survey. This picture can then be integrated with all the vector data of land or property ownership, land use, volumetric analysis, and so on, to paint a ‘smarter’, more engaging picture for developing Digital Twins.
Business and consumer benefits aside, it is worth noting the social and economic impacts of GIS technology, starting with the fact that Geographic Information Systems are an important facilitator of urban planning. The convergence of GIS and cloud computing is paving the way for limitless spatial applications and information, besides saving costs, dispensing data quickly and easily and promoting digital-driven development across sectors.
However, GIS is still being viewed in the mainstream as a powerful visualization tool alone, while its massively useful integrative capabilities are still on the backseat. The good news is that technologies such as GIS are still evolving, and there is lot of room for improvement. The key idea should be to build applications that use GIS not just as a data display platform, but also one that extracts benefits of information retrieval and relay, predictive analytics, and improved decision-making, to name a few.

A right royal row has developed over a proposed visit by the Duke of Kent, who has links to fox hunting, to the Scottish SPCA’s Clackmannanshire animal welfare rescue centre.
The duke is scheduled to visit the Fishcross centre, which opened in 2012, in the next few weeks, but staff there have questioned whether he is a suitable guest.
The 84-year-old cousin of the Queen is a member of the pro-hunting group the Countryside Alliance which has campaigned against legislation banning fox hunting in Scotland, England and Wales.
Scottish SPCA chief superintendent Mike Flynn described fox hunting earlier this year as “abhorrent”.
A Scottish SPCA insider said last week: “People aren’t happy. The duke is controversial with his links to fox hunting, especially since we nurse foxes back to good health.
“[He] stands for many things that animal lovers reject.”
In May this year the Fishcross centre was caring for 28 fox cubs who had been separated from their mums.
The cubs ranged from only a few days to a month old and were to be released back into the wild after being cared for at the centre.
Animal Concern secretary John Robins said this week: “We’re disappointed that someone so prominent in fox hunting has been invited to the Scottish SPCA centre.
“The Scottish SPCA has improved over the last few years.
“I have been doing this job a long time. Going back to the 1980s and 1990s there were fox hunters on the board at that time. Campaigners had to take dead foxes to their annual general meeting to embarass them into opposing fox hunting.
“That’s no longer the case but this visit isn’t appropriate given the duke’s fox hunting background. It’s very strange – and a slap in the face to Scottish SPCA staff who work very hard.
“The duke is an elderly gentleman now, you wouldn’t expect to see him on horseback, but he is a member of the Countryside Alliance which was set up to try to stop foxhunting being made illegal.”
Scottish SPCA chief executive Kirsteen Campbell said this week: “Part of our work is to engage with a wide range of people and sectors, including those who may not necessarily share our viewpoint on animal welfare and wellbeing issues. And we welcome that engagement.
“Experience has told us that the most effective way to constructively influence positive change is through having a dialogue and showing people how our positions on animal welfare matters are shaped by what we see every day. This approach has been central to our success in campaigning for the recently announced reform of animal welfare law in Scotland.
“If the Duke of Kent’s visit to our centre goes ahead, we look forward to discussing the preservation and future of wildlife.”

President Barack Obama requested Friday that Congress authorize $60.4 billion in emergency spending to help the states hit by the supers-storm Sandy in late October.
A House Democratic aide told NBC News that they "even though it's reasonable, we don't expect Republicans to just hand it over. We're going to have to fight for it."
Some congressional Republicans have said that the money spent on Sandy ought to be offset with spending cuts in other parts of the federal budget; most Democrats do not seek offsets.
In a joint statement, Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y. and Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., co-chairs of the bipartisan congressional task force on recovering from Tropical Sandy, praised Obama's request. "While more may be needed in the long term, this robust package is a major first step that we will work to pass as quickly as possible in Congress to help devastated communities, families and businesses."
Sen. Charles Schumer, D- N.Y. said Thursday that Congress ought to approve the emergency spending for recovery from the storm in a separate bill, not as part of the year-end "fiscal cliff" package which Obama and congressional leaders are negotiating.
"Disaster aid has never been part of any kind of deficit reduction plan.... It's a one-time allocation and you don't need it after that. We prefer to keep it separate and I think that's the White House plan," Schumer told reporters in a briefing with Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D- Ill.
At a Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing Thursday, Sen. Robert Menendez, D- N.J. made the case that New Jersey had supported other states when they were recovering from natural disasters and now New Jersey deserves commensurate help from them.
“When we had Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast in Mississippi and Alabama and Louisiana, I was there,” Menendez told HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, who is leading the administration’s Sandy recovery initiative. “When we had tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri, I was there. When we had flooding along the Mississippi, I was there….. Because I believe this is the United States of America. So I fully expect that now that now for the first time we have the type of devastation that others have suffered and should understand that we're going to have the type of response that others have received.”

Ohio State's football program changed immeasurably about three years ago, after Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel resigned in the aftermath of the "Tatgate' scandal. The changes were felt outside of the football program too, as the episode was felt from Gordon Gee's office, to the rest of the Big Ten, all the way to the NCAA. It helped usher in some important conversations about the NCAA, and has made for many an interesting hypothetical question for Buckeye fans.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer has been publishing a very interesting, multi-part series on multiple key players in the investigation, and where they are three years after the fact. They touch on Tressel, Urban Meyer, Gordon Gee, as well as the various attorneys and investigators involved in the case. I highly encourage you to read the entire thing, but there are a few points in particular that raise interesting questions for Buckeye fans, and others interested in the case.
When fans look the aftermath of the case, probably the most common hypothetical surrounds the coaching staff. The Buckeyes did, after all, essentially trade Jim Tressel for Urban Meyer. If Tatgate had never happened, the common thinking goes, Tressel would still be the coach. Maybe Meyer better prepares the program for the current landscape of college football, or at least, the Big Ten. Maybe Tressel would adapt his offense or his recruiting style to continue to give Ohio State a competitive advantage. Maybe, now that we know a little more about Tressel's ambitions, he would have left coaching to pursue administration anyway. Who knows?
What we do know is that Jim Tressel certainly landed on his feet, recently taking a job as the President of Youngstown State. Tressel's lawyer at the time, Gene Marsh, was surprised that Tressel ended up leaving, and thought that Ohio State could have actually kept him. From his interview with the Plain Dealer:
"I think they could have stuck by him, but on the other hand, when universities get into this kind of public scrutiny, they often will turn to Jell-O. They get panicked. You get stampeded.
"The NCAA lands on campus and there are the daily disclosures and everyone is running to get the paper and see what's new today, and that does get people in a panic mode. And then you get blood in the water, and that's what happens.
Perhaps that is a more interesting hypothetical question. What if the scandal still happens, but Ohio State doubles down and keeps Tressel? Aside from the five game suspension Tressel was given, would the NCAA have handed out an even stiffer penalty? Would the university have called the NCAA's bluff? Would that have even been desirable?
It would have been easy to come away from this experience a bitter man, but per the interviews, Tressel kept his remarkably positive attitude. Again, Marsh speaking, in the interview:
"I'm not blowing smoke," Marsh said, "I'm just telling you I marveled at how he approached this."
Marsh called Tressel the most optimistic person he ever met, said Tressel never got angry, even in private, and said that Tressel received more letters of support than any coach he had ever worked with.
"He was fairly dispassionate. He was dispassionate through the whole thing," Marsh said. "He can quickly assess where people are and what they were thinking and why they were doing what they were doing. That's the truth. It's hard to get a rise out of him at all. He's been around the block and he has a good grasp on what people might do."
For those who are familiar with Tressel, this probably isn't *that* surprising, but given the circumstances, it's still notable. The ability to remain that dispassionate after the abrupt ending of a celebrated career, and with proverbial knives all around is an uncommon ability, and one that will probably serve him very well in university administration.
Former Ohio State president Gordon Gee also had interesting remarks about the endgame of the Tatgate saga, and one that should perhaps open another interesting hypothetical. From his Plain Dealer interview:
"I thought the damage may have been permanent in many different ways," Gee said.
"I think for the first time in my life I really realized the power of the Internet and the power of Facebook and Twitter and the power of blogging. It's almost overwhelming, and we were in the middle of a tsunami. And we did recover because we did the right thing and I think Jim did the right thing, I think we all did the right thing. It was painful.
Whether you are with Dr.Gee that everybody did the right thing in this scenario, he does raise an important point, in that the idea that Ohio State would emerge from the situation (eventually) in a better position was not ensured. The school received an immense about of negative publicity, and had the school botched the coaching transition, or further bungled their NCAA response, it is possible that there would be negative implications not just for the football team, but for the institution itself. Gee adds the following:
"I mean, those were dark days," Gee said. "As a university president, for a long period of time, I always felt I spent relatively minute amounts of time on athletics.
"You have great athletic directors, you let them run it, you keep yourself informed, but I'm not the athletic director, I'm the president of the university. But all of a sudden this whole thing overwhelmed us to the point that I was spending immense amounts of time on athletics. And so that meant other aspects of the institution I was just not able to pay attention to and it was very draining.
The opportunity cost of a President spending such inordinate time on handling fires in the athletic department shouldn't be discounted, especially at a massive research university like Ohio State. Had this event slugged on for months, could the drain on higher administrator time have hurt say, the hospital? Or another department that needed fundraising or a higher touch? It's hard to say, but if we're going to play the "what if" game, it is fair to remember that things really could have been worse.
Again, the entire series is worth your time. Now that we are a few years ago, maybe it's a little easier to look back and see if everything turned out as badly as we thought it might have back in 2011. Would it have been better had Tressel stayed? Would the NCAA pursue the case the same way if these events happened in 2014? What would a realistic worst case scenario look like?
Thankfully, we don't have to find out, at least not for now. But if Gordon Gee is right about this, the next time something happens, we may have to ask ourselves these questions again.
"Ohio State is one of those institutions that everyone around the country loves to hate. So whenever we stumble, we stumble on the front pages and the back pages."

It is handled by the cable. It is important to know that HDCP-encrypted videos, such as Blu-ray, cannot be played back This cable cannot be used for Blue Ray disk access since it only supports HDMI and DisplayPort. As you have a DVI cable on the other end, this device will fail the HDCP test even though it is connected to a display port. With the exception of that, the cable works fine for all other purposes. Caveats like that aren't specific to THIS cable they are inherent to any cable of its kind.
What if you want to connect this to a laptop and a TV without HDMI?

The first thing you must do is to check the output from your computer.

Secondly, you should check the sides and back of your TV to see if it has a DVI port. If it does not have a DVI port then this cord will not be suitable.

Before you replace a suspect video card, make sure your cables are in good shape
My Dell Precision 5810 workstation has a video card that boasts two display ports and a DVI port, which allows me to run three monitors at the same time. My three monitors stopped working reliably together all of a sudden, which led me to believe that my video card was failing, Nevertheless, before I opened the box on the new card the retailer sent me, I swapped a few cables to rule out the possibility that one of the two older monitors in the system was the culprit. Through a bit of trial and error, it became apparent that all of the monitors were working fine, and that the display port cable was the problem. Eventually, I got a replacement cable and plugged it in, and the displays all worked as they should. In addition to saving money, I received full credit after returning the new card that was still sealed in the unopened packaging.

Certainly, I would buy from you I have not had success in the past when buying a short adapter and connecting a cable to it (if I move the adapter my screen would flicker or turn off), so I prefer to buy cables that have appropriate connectors at both ends
exactly what this cable is, a full length cable that has DVI on one end and Display Port on the other. The cable is one solid length. It works perfectly after I plugged it in. I thought you might be interested to know. The monitors I have are 19" squares, not widescreen, and my laptop is a MacBook Air. As a result, one monitor is VGA to VGA on my laptop, whereas my other monitor is DVI on my monitor to display port on my When I open my laptop screen, there are now three screens available to me.

A bargain, but at such a low price that you wonder about it
A great deal! In addition, they work exceptionally Their downside is that they may not be able to handle much stress because they are so cheap. As for the cables, they twist easily and feel as if it'll be impossible for them to stay in place where the shielding extends into the ports. It's as if they lack a core or some type of structural support. You can install stationary if you only need to do it once. This is not suitable for mobile applications or for items that need to be moved. You will not be disappointed.

A Displayport connector fits next to a DisplayPort connector Taking a look at the RX570 side by side
It took me a long time to get these DVI to DP cables since several factors had to be considered. My main concern was that I wasn't sure if I would need active adapters or if I would be able to fit them side by side On my graphics card, I learned that I only need passive since I have only 1080p monitors There is no need for active or multiple-tasking in these situations Straight adapters can be linked together. There is just enough room at both sides of the DP connectors to connect all three at the same time In my case, I was happy to see that all three displays functioned properly after having them connected to my rig. I would buy these again. The build quality and fit are both good. If I had to buy these again, I would.

Pay what you want and you are sure to get what you want
You may not be able to go higher than 1080p60 with the cable. But I did notice a loss of signal in my monitor which caused it to display this sort of static effect. The monitor failed only if it was left on standby, and it can be fixed by turning the monitor off and on again.

When you awaken from sleep, it is sometimes impossible to move the cursor
In order to meet my deadline, I needed a display port to either HDMI or DVI. This option offered next day delivery, so I decided to go with it. I love everything except that every other time I wake my computer from sleep, I come face to face with a static screen and the only way to fix it is to turn off and turn back on the monitor. The static screen is more common now than it was a few months ago, but I don't mind it if it happened every now and then.
| Sep 07, 2020
The product works well, and is cheap
In the past week or so, i bought these to use on multiple monitors in my setup. Currently, they are working well, but I had red artifacts all over the screen, when I moved one monitor. It took me a while to figure out that I had damaged the monitor I was kind of pissed, then I went to the mall. Making sure the connection is good and the power is on This is to learn that when this thing isn't seated perfectly, the connection will be compromised The DVI screws are in all the way, so for now everything is running smoothly. Make sure you screw those screws in all the way!.

I always use Rankie Cable for my cable needs
For my computer company, I have ordered several Rankie cables and have been satisfied with all of them. The Rankie DisplayPort cable was purchased at the local Big Box store before I purchased it from Rankie. However, although it cost three times more, the Big Box version did not have the retention mechanism required by DP cables. The materials and build quality of the Big Box was obviously much lower. In the Rankie, there are retainers and the build is I'm Rankie, so I are Rankie!.

possibly somebody else that you’ve known in the past great work ethic really an assertive communicator simply seems typically like he knows what’s going on with life has everything found out so now that we have these images in mind of somebody with depression and somebody that seemingly doesn’t wish to move equipments a bit to speak with you about a functioning alcoholic we’ve all heard this term so what does it imply when we state someone’s a functioning alcoholic or usually describing someone that most likely does have some kind of problem with alcohol however they have the ability to keep their job they’re able to keep relationships family but the issue I think is that in some cases they’re unable to maintain those things in healthy methods and it’s really tough sometimes to determine an operating alcoholic due to the fact that they have the ability to keep some elements of their life together so jumping back to the original topic here of somebody with high working anxiety otherwise referred to as dysthymia it’s really tough to determine these individuals in some cases and often it’s us sometimes we can’t even identify when it’s us that we’re suffering from these things so today again we want to speak about things that you can be looking for or things that you might have observed in yourself that could be an indication that you’re experiencing high-functioning depression so people with high-functioning anxiety or experiencing dysthymia are frequently challenging to determine we’re not seeing these obvious characteristics of a really depressed person no catatonic states in fact individuals with high-functioning anxiety are frequently able to maintain actually healthy way of lives good relationships with other individuals which and it vertically nearly makes the risk a little bit scarier in a different kind of method why someone with obvious signs of anything we can discover them we can get them into some kind of services or attempt to help them as best as we can for individuals flying under the radar for individuals experiencing signs that we do not see it’s really challenging to identify them and after that get them help it’s really difficult to interact to them that perhaps they must consider finding help on their own so when we think about psychological health services in general there already is a pretty big stigma around this a great deal of individuals out there adults in the United States for example have a tough time seeking out treatment because of you understand the concept that if you seek out treatment you’re insane or you can’t deal with things by yourself or something

Scott Stanford, Shervin Pishevar have $154M to invest from SherpaVentures
Send this story to a friend
Scott Stanford and Shervin Pishevar have been busily investing from their new SherpaVentures fund since leaving their jobs last year but now they have said exactly how much they have to work with — $154 million.
That's quite a bit more than the $87 million that Pishevar, formerly of Menlo Ventures, and Stanford, formerly with Goldman Sachs, said they had raised back in February.
Some of the companies they have backed since early last year are Munchery, Storehouse, Coin, Shyp and BackOps, which are all based in San Francisco, as is SherpaVentures itself.
The managing directors met when they were both working on investments in Uber for their previous firms.
"We are encouraged by the rate and level of innovation we are witnessing and the quality of the founders and their teams leading the charge," Stanford said in a press release.
"With the proliferation of mobile devices and the rise of on-demand services, we're seeing the opportunity for new category creation at unprecedented speed," said Pishevar.

Vietnam begins human trials of Covid-19 vaccine
Two men and a woman, in their 20s, whose identities were not disclosed, were vaccinated at 8:00 a.m. at the Vietnam Military Medical University in Hanoi and were in stable condition after two hours. They will be monitored for 72 hours.
They were chosen from more than 200 volunteers who had registered for the trial of the vaccine developed by Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology JSC.
Lieutenant General Do Quyet, director of the university, said: “It is time Vietnam tells the world we can do it, and in fact we have been proving ourselves in the fight against Covid-19 so far.”
The injection site is strictly protected by military. People must wear masks and ensure physical distancing.
Nguyen Ngo Quang, deputy head of the Ministry of Health’s Administration of Science, Technology and Training, said Vietnam “still has a battle against the pandemic ahead, and it needs cooperation from not just scientists but also the authorities and the community, especially volunteers.”
But the community should not lower its guard thinking the vaccine is now available and there is no need to continue with the protocols meant to prevent the spread of the virus, he warned.
“If the public disregards those protocols, then the efforts of the entire nation will be for nothing.”

The vaccination on Thursday morning is part of the first phase of the vaccine trial process in Vietnam, which will have three phases. The remaining volunteers in the group of 60 chosen for the first phase will be vaccinated three days later.
The second phase, of which date has not been decided because it must rely on the result of the first phase, will be conducted with 400-600 candidates.
Quang said an independent monitoring organization will be hired to monitor the research process in order to ensure absolute safety for volunteers and guarantee that all the research data must be objective, scientific and truthful.
Nanogen has bought insurance cover for the volunteers and also signed deals with some banks for paying total compensation of VND20 billion ($863,290) if the insurance company defaults.
The vaccine is expected to cost VND120,000 ($5.17) per dose.
A company spokesperson said the vaccine would be reasonably priced and affordable for all Vietnamese, and hopefully covered by health insurance.
Nanocovax is scheduled to enter mass production in May 2021.
Vietnam currently has four Covid vaccines under development, the others developing it being the Institute of Vaccines and Medical Biologicals (IVAC), the Vaccine and Biological Production Company No. 1 (Vabiotech) and the Center for Research and Production of Vaccines and Biologicals (Polyvac).
After Nanocovax, the vaccines developed by the IVAC and Vabiotech are expected to have their human trials in early 2021. Vietnam also has plans to import Covid-19 vaccines and the Health Ministry is in the step of negotiation.
Globally, 11 vaccines have entered phase three clinical trials.
Before clinical trials can begin, a vaccine needs to pass pre-clinical stages like laboratory research and tests on cells, tissue cultures and animal subjects.
Vietnam is one of the countries recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its vaccine research and development system. Therefore, the health sector has experience in vaccine research and testing. Vietnam has produced 11/12 different vaccines for use in the expanded vaccination program.

Is 38 special more powerful than 9mm?
38 Special only produces 264 foot-pounds of force (147-grain bullet at 900 feet per second out of a 4-inch barrel), while standard pressure 9mm can produce 365 foot-pounds of force (124-grain bullet at 1,150 feet per second). This is 38.25% more energy at the muzzle in favor of the 9mm.
Are single action revolvers more accurate?
Accuracy in revolvers is affected by the amount of play in the cylinder and the alignment of the cylinder with the bore. A single action action revolver is inherently no more accurate than a double action.
What is the advantage of a single action revolver?
The single-action grip frame tends to roll in the shooter’s hand and absorb a good deal of the heavy recoil these big-bore loads produce. This reduction in felt recoil minimizes the tendency to flinch and heavy handgun loads are mighty important when dealing with an angry bear.
What is the difference between single action and double action semi auto pistols?
Standard modern semi-automatic pistols are usually double-action (DA), also sometimes known as double-action/single-action (DA/SA). … In contrast, a single-action (SA) semi-automatic pistol must be cocked by first operating the slide or bolt, or, if a round is already chambered, by cocking the hammer manually.
Is the M&P single or double action?
Because the striker is only 98% cocked prior to the trigger being pulled, Smith & Wesson classifies the M&P’s action as “striker fired (double action only)”. The M&P factory trigger is of the jointed type and has a trigger travel of 7.6 mm (0.3 in) and is rated at 29 N (6.5 lbf).
Are 1911s single or double action?
The M1911, also known as the Colt 1911, or the Colt Government, is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge.
What does double single action mean?
Double action (or double-action) refers to one of two systems in firearms where the trigger both cocks and releases the hammer. … There is no single-action function and the hammer will return to its decocked position after each shot.
What is the purpose of a double action trigger?
A double-action, also known as double-action only (DAO) to prevent confusion with DA/SA designs, is a design which either has no internal sear mechanism capable of holding the hammer or striker in the cocked position (semi-automatics), or has the entire hammer shrouded and/or has the thumb spur machined off, preventing …
What is the most accurate revolver?
What are the 10 Best Revolvers of All Time?Colt Single Action Army (SAA) … Smith & Wesson Model 19. … Colt Python. … Ruger Blackhawk. … Smith & Wesson Model 29. … Ruger Super Redhawk. … Freedom Arms Model 83. … Colt Detective Special.More items…
What’s better single action or double action?
A single action revolver has a light and smooth trigger pull, as it only needs to drop the hammer. This allows for more accurate shooting. A double action revolver has a heavier, longer trigger pull, which can be detrimental to accuracy.
Are single action revolvers stronger than double action?
No, the strength of the revolver is in the frame ( via frame size and metallurgy) and cylinder. Single vs. double action doesn’t really matter and most, though not all double action revolvers can be fired in single action mode.
Are Glocks single or double action?
A glock is both “pre-cocked”, and a double action. The striker is pulled just slightly rearward under the tension of its own spring when the slide is allowed to go forward. However, when you pull the trigger you add an additional “cocking”, if you will, to the striker. This is what makes it double action.
What’s the point of half cocking a gun?
The purpose of the half-cock position has variously been used either for loading a firearm, as a safety mechanism, or for both reasons. The still commonly used English expression of “going off half-cocked” derives from failing to complete the cocking action, leading to the weapon being unable to fire.
Is a revolver or a pistol better?
Revolver Pros In the case of bad ammunition, simply pulling the trigger again can often be a fix in a life or death situation. Resilient to Harsh Conditions – Most people believe revolvers perform better than pistols in harsh conditions, such as those with a lot of dirt and dust.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 — Former chief justice Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamad said he refused the offer to head Putrajaya’s National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) as he believed from the start it would fail to protect the interests of the Malays.
Abdul Hamid said he now felt vindicated as the council formed to help draft laws to replace the Sedition Act has allegedly become a “tool” for the opposition to push their ideologies.
“I feared I would become a traitor to Islam and the Malay race,” Abdul Hamid wrote in an opinion piece published in Malay language daily Utusan Malaysia today.
“I had made up my mind before I knew the composition and the names of the NUCC’s members.”
Abdul Hamid said Bumiputera Christians on the panel, who are disheartened by the “Allah” controversy, will “play along not realising their rights will also erode”.
The NUCC has come under the microscope since proposing three laws — Racial and Religious Hate Crimes Bill, National Harmony and Reconciliation Bill and National Harmony and Reconciliation Commission Bill — to replace the Sedition Act.
The NUCC’s proposed legislations are to bolster the council’s National Unity Blueprint and as instruments to avoid and reduce racial and religious conflicts in the country.
Abdul Hamid said Putrajaya had “directly or indirectly” entrusted the policy-making decisions to the opposition, in reference to Parit Buntar PAS MP Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa and the Bar Council’s former chief Lim Chee Wee.
Mujahid heads the NUCC’s working committee on law and policy with Lim as his deputy.
Abdul Hamid took pot shots at the duo, particularly at Lim whom he insisted represents the interest of the Malaysian Bar “whose political view is an open secret”.
The Bar and its governing Bar Council are regularly accused of being supportive of the opposition and less so towards the establishment.
Illustrating his point, he said at an annual dinner organised by the Bar post Election 2008, former leaders of the legal fraternity had extolled the breakthrough made by the Pakatan Rakyat pact.
“That’s the kind of official event hosted by the Bar Council with the Chief Justice as the guest of honour! I wanted to walk out but I did not want to draw attention, so I sat patiently,” Abdul Hamid recounted.
“You may ask what’s wrong with selecting members of the opposition to be chair the committee? That is akin to saying that after Barisan Nasional (BN) worked hard to win the Election 2013 it sidesteps its voters to win the heart of the opposition,” he said.
Abdul Hamid warned that if the government was to allow the Bar Council to draft the legislation, it would be emphasising the interest of the opposition.
“I stress that I do not oppose consulting the opposition on bills... but not until you give them the rights to decide on policies and drafting of laws,” said Abdul Hamid.
“The Umno government, and PAS, will be responsible if the bills are passed as it would erode the rights of the Malays and the position of Islam... Leaders from Sabah and Sarawak will also not be exonerated from that responsibility,” he said.
Earlier this month, the NUCC unveiled three draft bills that it is proposing to take the place of the law it described as a leftover from British colonial rule.
But the council is meeting with increasing resistance over its proposals, which critics — mainly from the Malay-Muslim community — allege would undermine Bumiputera special privileges.
