Originally aired on September 30, 1994 - In part 5 of our Civil War series, Virginia Tech history professor James Robertson says that to believe that the sole cause of the Civil War was the slavery issue is to show a remarkable lack of historical judgment.
#5 – Slavery and the Coming of War
When a war ends with a negotiated peace, burning questions linger thereafter. The American Civil War was no exception. Almost as soon as the guns ceased firing, arguments began over what had caused the conflict in the first place. Today, more than 130 years later, that public debate continues. Unfortunately, the loudest voices seem to come from the extremes of opinion.
To say that slavery had nothing to do with the coming of the Civil War is to confess a total ignorance of American history in the fifteen years between 1845 and 1860. Likewise, to assert that slavery alone was the cause of the war is to show an amazing lack of historical judgment. Too many of those who write letters-to-the-editor and those who produce television extravaganzas are guilty of oversimplification.
The facts are unmistakably clear: throughout the first half of the 19th Century, slavery was the focal point of all the differences between North and South. Every disagreement between the two sections – except for slavery – could have been settled through normal democratic means. But slavery poisoned all national questions. It incited deep moral commitments and longstanding biases. The issue of slavery became too much of a traffic jam for the existent political avenues to unsnarl. Slavery smashed the established structures of politics, parties, and two major religious denominations.
Event after event, stretching over thirty years, led to an atmosphere of hostility that burned beyond the ability of anyone to control it. By 1860, slavery was the one issue which could not be compromised; it was the one issue that made men so angry they did not want to compromise. Slavery first put a cutting edge on all arguments. It then sliced the nation in two.
There would have been no civil war without slavery. However, to say simply that “slavery caused the Civil War” is sophomoric thinking if not acutely inaccurate. Much more was involved than slavery to force thousands of men to kill and be killed. Slavery was the catalyst around which a number of other – and vitally important – issues congregated as they tore apart the young republic. Three of those elements must be kept in mind in order to understand why war came at that particular time and in that particular way.
The first associated elements were uncontrollable passions. If you do not understand the pure emotionalism of America in the mid-19th century, you will never understand the Civil War. Viewed dispassionately today in an age of media saturation, and with a political sophistication that borders on cynicism, the sentiments of the 1850s do not make much sense.
But emotionalism ruled the day. It swept the country like a tidal wave, uncontrollable and destructive. Gladly, even joyously, North and South responded to Fort Sumter with cheers and flag-waving. “War! War! We’re going to war.” They shouted, as if it were a time for some kind of celebration. Caught up in the quest for heroics, Americans forgot the quest for compromise – and compromise is the only middle ground on which democracy can survive.
The second element that gave momentum to the coming of war was that, at precisely the time slavery was occupying the center of the national stage, the sectional balance of power within the Union was undergoing fundamental change. The once-dominant South was slipping into the status of a permanent minority. The North was determined to assert its new-found strength. While the South defended its institutions on the basis of state rights, the North insisted on a new and restructured national society.
It is easy enough now to say that the federal government should have interceded. Do not say it. If you do, you make the big mistake of looking at the past through the lenses of the present. That is not the way to understand history.
The federal government was, in fact, the third element in the coming of war – not because of anything it did but because of its failure to do anything. Washington, D.C., was not then a bastion of power. The central government was wallowed in an adolescence of confusion. “Uncle Sam” was too young and too inexperienced to cope with these sudden, overwhelming demands.
Slavery and its satellite issues – emotionalism, deep-seeded sectionalism, and an impotent federal authority – had become too much for the American system. A landslide of disunion began. Violence took the place of an unworkable peace. Men turned to war when no solution appeared elsewhere. In 1861 the future became dark and dangerous, because the past had failed as a guide.

text: Description As one of the first colonies explored and established in North America, North Carolina boasts a military history that goes back over four hundred years. From the expeditions of Spanish conquistadors to English attempts to establish coastal outposts in the 1590s, North Carolina saw a variety of military actions since its earliest exploration, including conflicts with Native Americans, the expansion of European dynastic wars to the New World, and the race to secure ready access to slaves, riches, and other resources. The American Revolution proved to be a painful experience as the new state was the scene of several key battles and campaigns; moreover, hostilities between Patriots and Loyalists were particularly violent, creating a bitter divide that lasted for years. During the American Civil War, North Carolina played a pivotal role. As part of the Confederate States of America, the state was the scene of several important battles, while in 1865, one of the two main armies of the Confederacy surrendered to Union forces at near Durham Station, effectively ending the conflict. The twentieth century saw two tragic world wars, and North Carolina contributed to the war efforts of both these conflicts through its men and women in uniform and the major military camps and bases within its borders, including Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune. Finally, Tar Heels served in great numbers during the Cold War--particularly in Korea and Vietnam--and this service continues during today's War on Terror. This fourth volume in Westholme's State Military History Series, North Carolina: A Military History will provide readers with a comprehensive overview of North Carolina's long and storied martial past, recounting wars from the colonial period to the present, and relating the heroism and sacrifices of its citizens and soldiers over the past four centuries. The book is illustrated with original maps and numerous photographs and line drawings, and includes recommendations for further reading.

Atari 2600 Game
Produced by: Sears
49-75102 and 99802
Year of Release: 1977
Programmer: Larry Kaplan
ACK! Enemy attack! Planes are flying overhead, none of them are shooting at you. But as the brave crewmember of an anti-aircraft cannon, it is your duty to shoot the bastards down anyway. It's Air-Sea Battle for the Atari 2600!
Target Fun has 27 mildly different games that you can play. They are all based around the idea of shooting down targets from your base. In most of the games the targets do not even fire back, the games are actually based on a timer so they always last 2 minutes and 16 seconds. The object is to get the highest score you can. There are six main variations, which I will detail below.
Target Fun Gallery Battle Variations
From the 1980 Sears catalog
Control a movable base that can only fire directly up, just like in Space Invaders. Various ships and boats sail overhead, but none of them fire back.
- Shooting Gallery
This is perhaps the best version. Control a movable turret, that can also fire at 3 different angles. Targets such as smiley faces and arrows move around above you in a random fashion.
Control a fixed battleship that moves from left to right across the screen. You can adjust the speed of your movements by pressing up or down. Your shots move with you (they go off at an angle so they stay directly above your head even though you are moving). Enemies are The same planes as in the Anti-Aircraft variation.
This is just like the Ships variation, except that it is backwards. Control a blimp at the top of the screen. All the same rules apply.
Hit clowns, boats, planes, ducks, or rabbits!
This cartridge was available with 6 different text labels. All of them are fairly common. Atari also produced a clone of this game entitled Air-Sea Battle. I would estimate the value of this game at $2 USD, and of course games with boxes and manuals are worth more.

Macy’s, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus are among the large corporations that have signaled how much they hate President Trump.
Those three stores tried to get vindictive by dropping Ivanka Trump’s brand. But that was a BIG mistake that could cost them their businesses.
The petty move by these retailers has sparked a tremendous backlash from consumers, especially women, reported Breitbart.
Many former shoppers said they are boycotting the stores by cutting up their Macy’s, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus cards.
It was Nordstrom that started this whole thing, trying to claim that Ivanka’s brand simply wasn’t selling well. But that wasn’t backed up by any of the evidence. In fact, sales figures at other stores showed the brand doing very well.
And conservatives weren’t buying it.
— RockPrincess (@Rockprincess818) February 4, 2017
President Trump then personally took Nordstrom to task.
My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2017
CNBC reported that the very same day Nordstrom stock share prices began to fall.
“Shares of Nordstrom fell from session highs Wednesday after President Donald Trump said his daughter, Ivanka Trump, had been treated unfairly by the company,” they reported. “With Wednesday’s drop, Nordstrom’s shares are down more than 10 percent year to date.”
It was NOT a good idea to mess with the president’s daughter. And liberals are either going to learn their lesson, or go out of business.

I am currently using 22 switches and about 55 APs. I normally manage the switches directly and the APs using the Instant AP for whatever group I need. I just find it faster and easier to do things directly.
I also have Airwave running but have not really found any true use or purpose for it. It also appears to have many problems that I have not been able to find answers for.
My questions revolved around the necessity for Airwave - Do I really need it? What if I just powered it off and removed it from the system? What is the good, the bad, and the ugly in keeping it vs getting rid of it? Etc.
One reason for getting rid of it that the license renewal is coming up and since I work for a non-profit, it would be nice not to have to spend the money for something that appears to be trivial and of no real use to us.
I greatly appreciate all comments!

Below is basic descripton what Airwave can do.It is a monitor and managment tool, where we could manage/montior most of different vendor products.
We have VisualRF feature where we could upload floor maps and view clients/ rogue APs locations and also track clients location history.
We could set different trigger condtions, when that particular condition meets , airwave will tirgger an alert and send email and also forward alert to exteranal NMS server.
We could set customized rules based on our requeirment to detect wired/wireless Rogue APs in your network.
We have different type of reports definiton which is used to get historical data in pdf, csv and excel format.
We have Clarity, AppRF,RF performance,UCC features which is very useful to track client/network usage history and troubleshoot client and network related problems.
06-16-2017 06:42 AM
Thanks for the info, but we don't really use any kind of reporting or alerts and such.
If I just powered off Airwave, would it cause any adverse effects to the switches or APs?
As things are right now, everything appears to working correctly. I rarely do anything at all with Airwave, other than log in to it occassionally to try to make sense out of why it is there.
06-16-2017 07:29 AM
Shutting down Airwave does not effect your wired/wireless network but I would recommand to have Airwave server up and running through which you could monitor/manage your network on single click.As you mentioned that Airwave license is getting expired and your organization does not have any budget to purchase. I would recommand to talk to your accout's Aruba sales team they may help in getting you license.
If my post addresses your query give kudos:)
a week ago
I'm running a pretty simple lab environment of a 7210 controller and 8pcs AP325. I ran for months without AirWave and only recently installed and connected it. It seems like AirWave is primarily a monitoring point for information that is available directly from the equipment it is reading.

How long after freezing Can you cook chicken?
To defrost using your fridge, simply transfer your wrapped frozen chicken from your freezer to your fridge at least 24 hours before eating. Once thawed, your chicken can remain in the fridge for another day or two before cooking.
Do you have to wait for chicken to defrost before cooking?
Answer: It’s fine to cook frozen chicken in the oven (or on the stove top) without defrosting it first, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Bear in mind, though, that it’ll generally take about 50 percent longer than the usual cooking time for thawed chicken.
Why can you not cook frozen chicken?
The long and short of it is that it is best to avoid cooking a whole chicken or chicken pieces with bones from frozen because the core or centre of the chicken will not reach a high enough temperature to cook through.
Is 2 year old frozen chicken still good?
If kept frozen continuously, chicken will be safe indefinitely, so after freezing, it’s not important if any package dates expire. For best quality, taste and texture, keep whole raw chicken in the freezer up to one year; parts, 9 months; and giblets or ground chicken, 3 to 4 months.
How do you cook frozen cooked chicken?
How to Cook Frozen Chicken in the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. …
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Brush the chicken with oil, seasonings, and/or sauces of your choice.
- Roast uncovered. …
- Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. …
- Allow the meat to rest 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
What happens if you cook chicken that isn’t fully defrosted?
If food is still frozen or partially frozen, it will take longer to cook. The outside of the food could be cooked, but the centre might not be, which means it could contain harmful bacteria.
What do I do if my chicken isn’t fully defrosted?
Skip the thawing and cook it frozen. You can also say screw it to the whole defrosting thing and cook your frozen chicken as is. It will just take about 50 percent longer than the cook time recommended for fresh or already-thawed chicken, the USDA says. (So a 30-minute bake time will become 45 minutes.)
What is the fastest way to defrost chicken?
4 safe ways to defrost chicken
- Use the microwave. This is the fastest method, but remember: Chicken must be cooked immediately after you thaw it using a microwave. …
- Use cold water. This should take two to three hours. …
- Use a refrigerator. …
- Don’t thaw at all!
Why is it important to defrost chicken before cooking?
Defrosting chicken correctly is one of the most important stages in food preparation. … The defrosting of meat ensures even cooking. Cooking chicken from frozen could leave you with an outside that’s cooked and a centre that may not be, which means it could contain harmful bacteria.
Can I fry chicken from frozen?
Though it is not recommended, you can fry frozen chicken. You will have to increase the cooking time by at least 50% to defrost your chicken fully and cook it evenly. It is also vitally important to check the internal temperature of your chicken in several places to make sure it is fully cooked.
Can you cook chicken from frozen in a pan?
Q: Can I Cook Chicken From Frozen? A: Yes and no. Small pieces of frozen, such as diced or sliced chicken, can be cooked straight from frozen on the stove top, providing that the meat reaches a core temperature of 70°C for at least 2 minutes to destroy any harmful bacteria.
Can you eat 2 year old frozen meat?
Short answer – yes. If meat is kept at zero degrees and below, it will be good for an indefinite amount of time. However, this assumes that no power outage occurred or that your refrigerator is reliable enough to maintain that low temperature all throughout.
How can you tell if thawed chicken is bad?
If your chicken is slimy, has a foul smell, or has changed to a yellow, green, or gray color, these are signs that your chicken has gone bad. Toss any chicken that’s past its expiration date, has been in the fridge for more than 2 days raw or 4 day cooked, or has been in the temperature danger zone for over 2 hours.

Lukoil to pay $93 million to settle Getty petroleum suit
MOSCOW -- Lukoil has agreed to pay $93 million to settle a lawsuit stemming from the collapse of Getty Petroleum Marketing. The lawsuit accused the Russian oil company of stripping the most valuable assets from the defunct U.S. gas-station operation and putting it on the path to bankruptcy.
Lukoil had previously defended itself against accusations that it plundered Getty Petroleum, saying it had invested $25 million to revive the company before selling its assets to an entity called Cambridge Securities LLC in 2011. Lukoil instead blamed Getty Petroleum' s 2011 bankruptcy filing on former affiliate Getty Realty and defunct supplier Bionol Clearfield.
An attorney for Lukoil declined to comment on the settlement, which requires court approval. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, which is overseeing the Getty Petroleum Chapter 11 case, is set to consider the deal at a July 29 hearing.
Getty Realty, which regained control of Getty Petroleum' s gas-station properties last year, bankrolled the lawsuit with a $6.7 million loan and is expecting to reap about $32 million from the settlement. Getty Realty separated from Getty Petroleum in 1997, and Lukoil took control of the gas-station operator in 2000. Getty Realty, however, continued to own the underlying land on which the gas stations operated after the split.
Getty Petroleum filed for Chapter 11 in December 2011, less than a year after being purchased by Cambridge Securities. The company' s bankruptcy filing followed a $234 million arbitration decision stemming from a fight with ethanol company Bionol, which itself was liquidated in bankruptcy.

Watch: Doria Ragland recalls daughter Meghan telling her she had suicidal thoughts
Watch: Meghan's mum Doria reacts to daughter's suicidal thoughts in Netflix documentary
Meghan Markle's mother Doria Ragland has spoken out for the first time in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell Netflix series, Harry & Meghan.
During the second episode of the series, which dropped on the streaming platform last week, the 66-year-old yoga instructor appeared on camera revealing she was "ready to have her voice heard". She's been interviewed again in Volume II of the couple's six-part documentary.
In episode four, Meghan discusses her mental health struggles and her suicidal thoughts as a result of the tabloid portrayal of her in the public eye. Ragland describes what it was like hearing her daughter felt suicidal, adding that it "broke her heart."
Discussing the tabloid furore and the impact being in the public eye had on her mental health, Meghan remembers thinking “all of this will stop if I'm not here” in the documentary.
“And that was the scariest thing about it,” she continues. “It was such clear thinking.”
It’s not the first time we’ve heard from Meghan in regards to her mental health struggles, and the notion of potentially ending her life, as she had reflected on her suicidal thoughts in the infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey.
But, it is the first time we’ve heard from Ragland about how it felt to know what her daughter had been going through.

“I remember her telling me that… that she had wanted to take her own life,” explains Ragland in episode four of the documentary. “And that really broke my heart, because I knew that it was bad,” she continues. “But to just constantly be picked at by these vultures, just picking away at her spirit, that she would actually think of not wanting to be here.”
“That’s not an easy one for a mum to hear,” added Ragland. “And I can’t protect her, H can’t protect her.”
Who is Meghan Markle's mum Doria Ragland?
Doria Loyce Ragland, 66, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, before her family moved to Los Angeles when she was a baby.
On leaving high school, Ragland temporarily worked as a make-up artist's assistant on the set of General Hospital, where she met her future husband Thomas Markle. Ragland married the lighting director on 23 December, 1979, and had Meghan two years later on 4 August, 1981.
However, when Meghan was two the couple went their separate ways, ultimately divorcing in 1987 when Meghan was six years old.
Ragland has been a social worker, at a Mental Health Services clinic in Culver City, as well as a yoga instructor and later, CEO, CFO and secretary of a care home firm in Beverly Hills.
She reportedly still lives in the View Park-Windsor Hills neighbourhood of Los Angeles, a two-hour drive south of where Meghan and Harry have settled state-side in Montecito, Santa Barbara.
What does she say in the Harry & Meghan documentary?
Despite some public appearances alongside her daughter and son-in-law, Ragland has preferred to stay back from the public eye, until now.
"The last five years have been challenging," says Ragland, after introducing herself on camera in the second episode of the six-part series. "I'm ready to have my voice heard, that's for sure. A little bit of my experience as her mom."
When asked if she remembered when her daughter told her that she was dating the royal, Ragland replied: "I do. When she told me, we were on the phone and she says, 'Mommy, I'm going out with Prince Harry,' and I started whispering, 'Oh my god!'
"She says, 'You can't tell anyone.' So from the beginning, it was very sort of, 'Oh my god, nobody can know.'

Ragland also recalled the first time she ever met her now son-in-law, describing him as "handsome" and "really nice".
"He was just like, [this] 6ft 1, handsome man with red hair. Really great manners. He was just really nice. And they looked really happy together. Yeah, like he was the one."
Later Ragland spoke about her relationship with her daughter, and "the network of women who helped her raise Meg".
"We were close to my mom, her grandma. My sister was close by, and my girlfriends were close by. So we had a nice network of women who helped me raise Meg."

Ragland went on to recall what Meghan was like as a child, describing her as "easy to get along with" and "empathic".
"She was always so easy to get along with," she explained. "Very congenial, making friends. You know, she was a very empathic child. Very mature."
Read more: As Harry and Meghan's documentary lands on Netflix, here's everything we know about the Duke of Sussex's memoir
She went on to offer a hint of the relationship the mother/daughter duo had while Meghan was growing up.
"I remember asking Meg did I feel like her mom, and she told me that I felt like her older, controlling sister.
"I never forgot that," she adds.
Later in the series, Ragland recalls the impact the interest in her daughter's relationship had on her own life, explaining she felt like she was being "stalked" by paparazzi, which made her feel "unsafe".
"I felt unsafe a lot," she said. "I can't just go walk my dogs, I can't just go to work. There was always someone there waiting for me, following me to work. I was being stalked by the paparazzi."

She went on to recall a time when she was encouraged to sell her story.
"Once I pulled over, and he pulled next to me and he said: 'You know, I'm just trying to get a story. You know, you can get a lot of money for this?' And I just looked at him and said: 'This is my child. I have nothing to say'."
Later in the series Ragland shared her thoughts on allegations that Meghan's father Thomas Markle had been involved in the staging of paparazzi shots shortly before the couple got married in 2018, in a ceremony that he did not attend.
"I was absolutely stunned that Tom would become part of this circus," Ragland said. "I felt sad that the media would run with this. That he would capitalise... certainly as a parent, it's not... that's not what you do.
"That's not parenting," she added.

There are off roaders and then there are off roaders! This creation - called the ColeWorX buggy Screaming II - is neither of these things. Screaming II is the most badass off-road weapon you're ever likely to see. Powered by a small block Chevy V8 with 600hp, this buggy features a Powerglide transmission (two-speed auto 'box designed by GM), Atlas transfer case (well-known for its strength and use in rock crawling vehicles) and custom 14-bolt axles front and rear for ultimate articulation and quick turning capability. (A bit like Chuck Norris' Happy Meal toy) Thanks to its light weight (approx 450kg), massive off-road tyres and incredibly strong chassis, Screaming II screams its way up near-vertical terrain like it was a speed bump. The buggy's driver - Jordan Tanner - also demonstrates laugh out loud (in a good way) car control throughout the video below. We'll even forgive him flipping the buggy on its roof at the end...

HOW-TO: New Wave Greaser
For Patrik Ervell's Spring/Summer 2014 runway show, lead hairstylist Holli Smith for Oribe Hair Care designed a look that can only be described as a new wave greaser. With a collection
heavily inspired by water, Holli created a style reminiscent of choppy waves on a rough
sea. "The clothes have this ocean vibe with lots of blues and sea-inspired prints, but it’s
also very techy because of the fabrics,” she said. “It's an updated version of what people
would wear boating today; it's very sporty and modern. We wanted to do something a
little hard with an edge using gel so it looked wet. The look is a little bit '50s with the
comb strokes that you can see in the hair."
GET THE LOOK:
Step One: Saturate hair with a generous amount of Maximista and/or Gel Sérum (for fine hair,
use a mix of the two products; for thick hair, just use Gel Sérum) and brush into the hair
with a paddle brush.
Step Two: Manipulate the hair with a paddle brush and comb, creating peaks, waves and points in
your hair. Play around with the hair until you find a look that works for you.
Step Three: Set the look with Superfine Strong.

Gazprom is increasing the volume of its deliveries to the European Union. However, it will soon have to compete with U.S. exporters of cheap shale gas, with the first deliveries of American gas soon due to arrive in Europe. Is shale gas a threat to the Russian company’s market share?
At year-end 2015, Gazprom saw its share in the European market rise from 30 to 31 percent. Photo: Reuters
Russian gas giant Gazprom is boosting its presence in the European Union as it braces itself for a struggle with U.S. exporters of cheap shale gas for the European energy market, with the first tanker of American gas due to arrive in Europe as soon as March.
At year-end 2015, Gazprom saw its share in the European market rise from 30 to 31 percent. This slightly more than 3-percent growth may appear modest, but this is the first evidence of Russian gas increasing its presence in Europe, which has been actively diversifying its energy consumption over the past 10 years.
In addition, the company’s growth in individual countries looks much more impressive. It is as much as 37 percent in France, 17 percent in Germany, 12.6 percent in Italy, and 10 percent in the UK.
Also read: "The EU vs. Gazprom: The hybrid war continues"
Occupying vacant places
"Gazprom has filled a portion of the market share vacated by Algeria and Libya," said Georgy Vashchenko, head of Russian stock market operations at the Freedom Finance investment company.
"Production in Africa is falling, due to a reduction in investment caused by low prices and unstable political situation. Currently, [Africa] produces 30 percent less than five years ago."
At the same time, Norway cannot significantly increase its volume, while the Netherlands has seriously reduced production due to field decline.
However, the near future may see serious competition to Russian gas in Europe coming from the U.S, experts say.
In other words, the U.S. will be ready to supply 44.16 billion cubic meters of gas (1 million tons of LNG = 1.38 billion cubic meters of natural gas) which accounts for approximately a quarter of all Russian gas deliveries to Europe (according to Viktor Zubkov, chairman of the board of directors of Gazprom, the company expects to deliver 160 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe in 2016). The U.S. company Wood Mackenzie's study explicitly states that the EU could become a key buyer of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG), and by 2020, up to 55 percent of the country's total LNG production, or 32 million tons per year, will be shipped to Europe.
In addition, 44.16 billion cubic meters of gas is about the entire volume of Russia's supplies to Germany (45.3 billion cubic meters of gas at the year-end 2015).
How expensive will American LNG be?
In January 2016, the U.S. was to dispatch the Energy Atlantic tanker carrying the first LNG supply for Europe from the Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana.
However, for technical reasons, the delivery was postponed until late February-early March 2016 (most of the gas, 3.5 million tons, was chartered by the British company BG Group). In addition to Sabine Pass, four new LNG terminals are due to start operating in the U.S. in the near future.
Gazprom, however, is not taking competition with U.S. LNG seriously. According to the company's study, American LNG will cost consumers more than Russian gas supplied through pipelines.
"The total cost of U.S. LNG in 2016 is higher than the prices of European hubs," Gazprom said in a presentation to investors. "The price includes transportation across the U.S., liquefaction, sea transportation and regasification in the UK."
Low gas prices also play into the hands of the Russian company. At the moment, Gazprom calculates the possibility of reducing the average price of gas supplies to Europe from the budgeted figure of $199 per 1,000 cubic meters to $169 per 1,000 cubic meters. For comparison, in 2015, Gazprom supplied gas to Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries at an average price of $243 per 1,000 cubic meters.
"Low gas prices are beneficial to Gazprom, since it has a cost advantage in LNG,” said analyst Sergei Ilyin of the Premier investment company, who pointed out that since LNG shipping is more expensive than supplying gas through pipes, the Russian company can safely reduce prices.
However, in the event of a rise in prices, the Russian monopoly will lose its advantage. The price of gas depends on oil prices, and in the period of high prices of hydrocarbons, the consumption of gas in Europe fell by almost 50 billion cubic meters due to competition from coal.

Using GreenPAK™ with low dropout regulators (LDOs) provides a fully customizable, low-power solution to drive and control a wide variety of small ERM motors used in devices such as mobile phones, game controllers, etc. The programmable digital and analog resources in GreenPAK make it easy to implement custom features to differentiate your haptic experience as well as protection features to ensure smooth and safe operation, including:
- Custom vibration strength
- Custom vibration patterns and timing
- Custom motor kick-start and
- Over-current/short circuit protection
- Over-temp protection
GreenPAK Benefits for ERM Motor Control
GreenPAK Enhances Flexibility
- VDD is 2.5 to 5.0 V
- Integrated delays for programmable button de-bounce
- Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) interface allows changes to vibration patterns and timing
- General-purpose input/output (GPIO) routing is flexible ensuring the least complexity in PCB routing
GreenPAK Lowers Power Consumption
- GreenPAK provides low-power consumption with the best performance
GreenPAK Ensures System Stability
- Integrated LDO protection
- Zero Code as implementing features in hardware ensures stability
- Integration of many components ensuring fewer points of failure
Vibration Patterning and Strength
Using GreenPAK’s programmable digital and timing blocks it is possible to make a number of different vibration patterns. With the LDOs integrated into the GreenPAK, which can switch between two voltage outputs using digital logic and up to 32 different levels via I2C, it is also possible to create vibrations of different strengths.
- To quickly start an ERM motor, it is useful to drive it at a higher voltage for a short duration. This overcomes the momentum of the still mass and allows for cleaner vibration patterns.
- Some ERM motors include a special pin for braking. Using digital logic and GreenPAK’s configurable GPIO, driving the braking pin anytime the motor should stop is easy.
Pattern and Kickstart Circuit in GreenPAK
The LDOs in GreenPAK contain over-current and short circuit detection which will cause the LDO to shut down in the event of a failure. Additionally, using the integrated temperature sensor and programmable analog comparator (ACMP), it is easy to implement over-temperature shutdown as well.

I usually enjoy the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion, the yearly gathering of scholars in religious studies and theology. But this year I found it a slog. I’m not sure if this is a reflection of the meeting or of my own personal ambivalence about the very project. But the drone of papers occasioned in me a kind of ennui I’ve not experienced there before (the book exhibit was a bit of a tonic). In fact, during one very-long paper I was so bored and disheartened that I took up poetic doodling. I hope this was only a phase, or the bad fish talking–otherwise, I’ve got serious professional issues on the horizon!
A poem inspired by a theological presentation at AAR:
Babel’s babbling and confusion
comes home to roost in
the many gurgling tongues of the
with an idolatrous cleverness.
Serious and sober,
but really just a DJ–
riffing and mixing,
generating a cacaphony of theologemes
that dance and dangle
between piled names.
A show of erudition,
gesticulating about ‘communicative action’
For which I give thanks.
For never has the vocation–
or is it just my desire?–
of the poet felt more clear.
For I am befuddled by this Babel,
foreign tongues of barbarians.
From its rambling , “rigorous” confusion
I want only to fall into the
clarity of Franz Wright,
the lucidity of Anne Sexton,
the bumpkin simplicity of young Donald Hall.
Compared with the muffled but incessant
utterances of the theologian,
poetry rings with the clarity of
crunchy leaves in the quiet of a
frost-covered autumn morning.
God, of course, is no theologian.
He is a poet hidden and violated,
muzzled by the theologians.
As long as there are theologians,
God’s existence will remain in question.
How long, O Lord?
When O When will you silence the theologians–
Silence my theologizing–
And sing to us, your poiema,
in the poems of your strange saints.

|In the Vineyard|
Stellenzicht, founded in 1692, is as old as Stellenbosch. The farm lies in the heart of the prized Golden Triangle, so named for the outstanding wines produced from this premier winegrowing region. It lies midway between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg Mountain and is cooled by the sea breeze off nearby False Bay. Just as nature provides a balance between sunshine and tempering maritime breezes, so are the wines styled to balance passion with restraint and might with elegance. Each wine exhibits an enduring classical integrity laced with modern generosity of flavour.Winemaker Guy Webber has combined his expertise with Shiraz and his love of Pinotage to produce Rhapsody, which melds the outstanding characteristics of both these varietals to create a new wine that is greater than the sum of its parts.Vineyard Location
Grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Stellenbosch area and grown on slopes facing west and north-west on soils originating from decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. Ranging in age from 11 to 17 years and at altitudes of 150m to 300m, the vines are all grafted onto nematode resistant rootstocks and are pruned and trained in order to balance the growth and yields for absolute quality. Receiving no supplementary irrigation, the yields from both vineyards were lower than usual due to very selective picking and averaged out at 4.5 tonnes per hectare for the Shiraz and 9.6 tonnes per hectare for the Pinotage.Viticulturist: Johan Mong and Prof. Eben Archer
|About the Harvest|
|The grapes were harvested by hand.|

Marshal Of Hel Dorado
by Heather Long
Release date 10/10/11
In the shadows of the old west, the untamed land live bands of outlaws and outsiders. In a time when fevers could fell whole towns, these few survivors are marked. Marked…and forever changed.
Sam Kane is the oldest brother, the steadfast son and the confidant marshal. He’s never met a problem to hot to handle until a gang behind a string of robberies across the territory set their sights on his town. Now with the bank’s gold inexplicably missing from a locked safe, the town hunting the elusive thieves and a passionate redhead with a fiery secret in his jail, Sam has his hands full.
Scarlett Morning Star lived in seclusion in the mountains of West Texas most of her life. She longs for adventure, but with seven very protective older brothers, adventure is hard to come by. When she tags along uninvited on their latest escapade, she is left behind during a bank robbery and finds herself in the custody of the very sexy town marshal.
The town wants to lynch her, the Marshal wants answers and her brothers want her back, can Scarlett keep it together or will her explosive secret burn them all?
Her life. His badge. Their fight.
This is the first book from Heather Long I have read and I am very pleased to report that I will be reading more of her and this new Fevered Hearts series! I'm normally not a western genre reader so it took me a bit to get into the book and the old west feel, but once I got into the first chapter I was in and saddling up for the long haul.
As with any book there has to be some kind of twist and turn in it to keep it moving, but the turns and twists in this one were not expected at all. It starts out as a normal western and quickly turns into something else... a paranormal western.
Marshall Sam Kane is on the lookout for bank robbers when he finds Scarlett Morning Star standing in the middle of the closed bank that has just been robbed. What has happened? How could she pull this off?—and—Who is she? Sam takes her into custody and quickly realizes that her safety is at risk. Without any other options, he takes her home.
Scarlett might look like a sweet little thing but she has a secret that can't get out. If it does, it could cost her and her family their lives… or worse. She has another problem now after meeting Sam, she wants to stay and experience the things she has longed for but knows if she stays she puts him and his family in danger as well. She must do what she knows is right to protect everyone.
This new series has so many great characters starring Scarlett's 7 brothers—each very unique in their own way. I'm especially curious about Wyatt. Then there's Sam's brothers, who are funny and charming. I love the family drama and friendship between them all-it makes for a wonderful feel and great read. I really look forward the the next book in the Fevered Hearts series that will feature Kid and Cody, coming out in Spring 2012.
So if your feeling a bit adventurous and want to saddle up for ride into a paranormal, this is my recommendation for you. Happy Reading - xoxo

Courage comes in many flavors. In general, courage is defined as the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or adversity. It is staunchness of mind and of will. It is the strength to face opposition and not allow it to stop you. It is the strength to cope with hardship. It is maintaining your dignity when it is difficult to do so.
Courage gives you the empowerment of steely determination. It enables you to strive towards noble aspirations.

Africa Day Celebrations 2009
But the day is not only about commemorating the OAU. It's also about celebrating the ideals behind it - equality, justice and the development of all countries within Africa.
The Alliance for Refugees in South Africa (Afri-South Africa) has been celebrating the occasion since 2005 with hugely popular cultural events and this year will be no different.
In light of last year's horrific xenophobic attacks, the alliance has compiled a programme that hopes to draw together all Africans in South Africa. The 2009 event is aimed at promoting an integrated Africa.
The Africa Day programme begins with a poetry workshop the Centre for the Book, Queen Victoria Street Cape Town, on the 16th and 17th May 2009. A poetry competition, with the theme "Africans United in Diversity", has been underway over the last two months and those participating in the workshops were selected from entries received.
The workshops are aimed at developing individual writing and performance styles of the participants and will be facilitated by leading Cape Town performance poets Primrose Mrwebi, Khadija Heeger and Winslow Schalkwyk. Successful participants will then present their poetry Saturday 23rd May 2009 at the Centre for the Book at 1pm. This part of the process is open to the public.
All the poets who attend the workshops will be published in a poetry anthology in commemoration of Africa Day.
The winning poets will then perform at a gala event at The Southern Sun hotel, Strand Street, Cape Town, on the 23rd May 2009.
The gala will feature poets, performances by various African cultural groups; Frank Paco from Mozambique, Ladjie Kante from Mali, Nkoba Zambogo from Uganda, CODA from South Africa, Dizu Plaatjies from South Africa and key note speakers (drumming, singing, dancing etc; also who are groups, if well-known might draw/interest people) who will address issues of diversity and unity amongst Africans.
Alliance for refugees in South Africa, Provincial Government and the City of Cape Town are partnering in this venture to promote social cohesion, spirit of ubuntu and propagate the 2010 sports legacy.
Eight teams from other African countries and eight teams from different South African communities will play in a mini league on inflated pitches on the 30th/May/2009 to conclude the Africa month, this event takes place at Gugulethu sports complex.
- Giant inflatable soccer pitch
- Junior inflatable soccer pitch
- Western Cape Football Ambassadors
- Mini Goal Post (Seniors street football)
About Afri-South Africa
Afri-South Africa was founded on 30th April 2005 by refugees from different African countries under the leadership of Mr. George Pambason. The refugees are mainly from those countries that are affected by war, ethnical conflicts and political unrest.
In 2005, Afri-South Africa began to put together a cultural expo as a starting point of celebrating the ideals embodied in the OAU charter.
The 2007 expo, which was held at the Cape Town Civic Centre, attracted 10 000 people each day. In 2008 a national conference was convened by Afri-South Africa in conjunction with the provincial government at the Ritz Hotel. This was followed by a two-day expo in the Company Gardens.

Apple Watch will shortly gain AssistiveTouch features such as being able to stop an alarm when the wearer gestures with their hand, and newly-revealed Apple research may have all the details.
The forthcoming AssistiveTouch for Apple Watch is intended as an accessibility feature, specifically helping users who have upper body difficulties. However, the new ability to use Apple Watch without touching the displays or controls is going to be a boon for all users.
If you've ever had to put down what you're carrying because the Apple Watch alarm is drilling into your wrist, you'll recognize the value of being able to just clench your first to stop it. Previously you might have clenched your fist in annoyance, but now the Watch will recognize that you've done it and respond.
There are many other possibilities that Apple has shown, but now the specifics of how they may all work have been detailed. "Optical Sensing Device" is a newly-revealed patent application, which proposes ways of achieving these features.
All the methods described in this patent application revolve around the use of light and optical sensors. They may well be other systems that Apple is deploying, which could be the subject of other patent applications not yet known about.
This one, though, appears comprehensive. "A wearable device with an optical sensor is disclosed that can be used to recognize gestures of a user wearing the device," it begins.
"Light sources can be positioned on the back or skin-facing side of a wearable device, and an optical sensor can be positioned near the light sources," continues the patent application. "During operation, light can be emitted from the light sources and sensed using the optical sensor. Changes in the sensed light can be used to recognize user gestures."
The more than 11,000 words of the patent application detail multiple different gestures, but each one is chiefly detected by the same optical means.
"For example, light emitted from a light source can reflect off a wearer's skin, and the reflected light can be sensed using the optical sensor," it says. "When the wearer gestures in a particular way, the reflected light can change perceptibly due to muscle contraction, device shifting, skin stretching, or the distance changing between the optical sensor and the wearer's skin."
Once the optical system is able to recognize different gestures and reliably distinguish between them, they "can be interpreted as commands for interacting with the wearable device."
The gestures can "include finger movements, hand movements, wrist movements, whole arm movements, or the like," and can be small.
"The at least slight alteration of the wrist from having an open hand... to having a clenched fist... can cause the distance between wearable device 100 and the wearer's skin to change (e.g., increase or decrease)," explains Apple. "[An] optical sensor associated with wearable device can generate a signal that changes when the distance between the device and the wearer's skin changes.
Apple's patent application is less concerned with what an Apple Watch can do when a gesture is identified. It does have examples such as "return to home screen," or "navigate forward."
However, the Watch can respond in any way that Apple — or perhaps the user — decides, based on the gestures received. This application is more about proposing as many different distinguishable gestures as possible, so that watchOS can have many options.
That includes recognizing gestures over a short space of time, rather than always immediately responding to specific hand movements.
For example, a wearer can clench the fist, hold the clenched first for a certain amount of time, and subsequently open the hand to request a function different than one associated with clenching and unclenching the first in rapid succession (e.g., as in the difference between a simple mouse cursor click and a double-click)," says Apple.
This patent application is credited to Ehsan Maani. Although the filing date for this particular application is May 27, 2021, Maani left Apple to work for Google in late 2014.
There is a related initial filing date of February 2014, however. And prior to leaving, Maani was a designer on Apple Watch's heart rate monitor algorithms.

Since it is officially supported in FF14, it is possible to use the PS5 controller (DualSense) on a PC (Windows), but it seems that the vibration function does not work as it is.
After all, if you operate with a game pad, it would be nice to have a vibration function. (Fishing, movie scenes, etc.)
The solution is simple, just launch FF14 from Steam to enable the vibration feature!
※ You don’t need to purchase the Steam version, just launch the Windows version from Steam!
There are only two steps!
First, let’s start the Windows version of FF14 from Steam.
- Press “Library”, press “+ Add Game”, then “Add Non-Steam Game” and select FF14.
Then just check the controller settings!
- Open “Steam”> “Settings”> “General controller settings” in the upper left and check “PlayStation setting support”.
By the way, you can also change the LED color of the PS5 controller here!
After that, every time you start FF14 from Steam, the vibration function should be enabled on the PS5 controller.
It’s a bit annoying to launch from Steam every time, but I’m happy that the launch screen in Big Picture mode is pretty cool. lol
So, for your reference!

GSHS shows pride in NAPLAN, audit results at ceremony
DEPUTY Principal Dave Romagnolo was filled with pride at the achievements of staff and students alike at the Gladstone State High School Citizenship Day ceremony.
"It's wonderful, there's so many great things that our students do here and today (Tuesday) is just a small sample of what's been going on," Mr Romagnolo said.
Teachers and students as well as parents and helpers were recognised for their priceless contributions to the school.
Celebrations followed encouraging NAPLAN test results this week, and positive feedback from a State Government discipline audit conducted at the school.
"We've had some wonderful news in the last week," Mr Romagnolo said.
"Our NAPLAN results showed some good improvement in a number of areas and we also got some outstanding results from the recent discipline audit."
Mr Romagnolo said the credit for the improved academic results was down to a lot of hard work from junior secondary teachers, as well as added commitment from students to their learning.
He said the discipline auditor had praised the school on its connections with local agencies like youth mental health and the PCYC, as she observed they were not simply letting badly behaved students "slip through the cracks".


Remember that thing called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (aka Pacific Trash Vortex)?
According to the blog green.blorge, there’s a project in the very early stages to do something with all of the garbage. Thanks to some grant money, a Holland-based architecture firm is looking into turning that Texas-sized garbage patch into a habitable island.
One of the three major aims of the project is to clean up the floating trash by recycling it on site. Two, the project would create new land for sustainable habitation complete with its own food sources and energy sources. Lastly, Recycled Island is to be a sea worthy island.

Review: The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories
Publisher: IT Books
From the publisher:
To create The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, Joseph Gordon-Levitt–known within the hitRECord.org community as RegularJOE–directs thousands of collaborators to tell tiny stories through words and art. With the help of the entire creative collective, Joe culls, edits and curates the massive numbers of contributions into this finely tuned collection. Reminiscent of the 6-Word Memoir series and the PostSecret books, The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories brings together art and voices from around the world to unite and tell stories that defy size.
WOW! What an incredible book, despite its size. True to its word, the book is quite tiny, but it’s so wonderful and magnificent! My only issue with the book was that it was way too short! The writing is quite clever and witty and the illustrations are amazing. I’m a pretty terrible artist though so if you can draw something beyond stick figures then I pretty much consider you a Van Gogh.
Most of the stories are only about one or two pages long, but the meaning behind the stories are profound and ingenious. I love the clever play on old clichés and sayings. This was definitely a fun book to read by yourself, but I think it would be an even better book to read with others and discuss it.
I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it for everyone! Not to mention it would make a great gift too if you can’t think of anything to give your friends and family.
