Pope tells of Church's abuse shame on US trip
George and Laura Bush and their daughter, Jenna, travelled to Andrews Air Force Base to greet Pope Benedict XVI yesterday after the pontiff flew to the US saying he was "deeply ashamed" of the sexual abuse scandal that has stained the reputation of the Catholic Church.
Mr Bush, a born-again Christian, holds the Pope in high esteem as a fellow religious conservative. It is the first time in seven years in office that the President has welcomed a foreign dignitary by leaving the White House.
After the red-carpet treatment in Maryland, Pope Benedict travelled to Washington under tight security in a large motorcade to begin his six day visit. On his flight to the US, the pontiff said the sexual abuse of children had caused "great suffering" for the Church and "me personally". More than 5,000 sexual abuse victims have come forward since 2002. The scandal has cost the Church $2bn (£1bn) in damages.
"It is a great suffering for the church in the United States and for the Church in general and for me personally that this could happen," he said. "As I read the histories of those victims, it is difficult for me to understand how it was possible that priests betrayed in this way.
"Their mission was to give healing, to give the love of God to these children. We are deeply ashamed and we will do what is possible that this cannot happen in the future."
"Who is guilty of paedophilia cannot be a priest," he added, stating that the Church was now reviewing candidates for the priesthood.
The Pope and Mr Bush have been sharply at odds over the war in Iraq, however. When he was still Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Benedict acidly dismissed the idea of the Iraq conflict as a "just war". This did not stop Mr Bush declaring himself "in awe" of him when they met at the Vatican last summer. The President's effort to ingratiate himself continues today with a White House reception for 2,000 prominent Catholics, followed by a banquet.
Oddly, however, Pope Benedict will not be attending the dinner in his honour. Instead, on his 81st birthday, he will spend his time at the huge Catholic Basilica in north-east Washington, keeping a respectful distance from Mr Bush. The Pope will also travel to New York to speak at the UN, but he is steering clear of the Catholic stronghold of Boston – the scene of some of the Church's worst child sex scandals.
The White House explains the Pope's absence from the banquet in his honour as a scheduling clash. But a more likely reason is the Pope's desire not to become too closely associated with a discredited president who needs all the help he can to help Republicans hold on to the White House.
Catholics are an important swing vote in this year's election and are being targeted by both parties. The Democrats were shocked to lose Catholic support to Mr Bush in 2004 and do not want a repeat this year.
The battle is fierce between Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Republican John McCain for Catholic votes. The three have paid careful respect to the Pope's visit. During the campaign the two Democrats have often spoken about "values," as a way of reaching out to church-going Americans. They have pushed such issues as economic justice, which the Vatican is keen on, while steering away from abortion, over which they are at odds.
Ahead of his arrival, the media has teemed with items outlining the challenges the Pope faces in America. But he may have more insight into the US than any other in history. He was briefly an American prisoner of war after deserting from the German army in May 1945. Before becoming Pope he visited the US five times as enforcer of the faith, usually to deal with dissident Catholics.

Saturday Night Live: hosts, cast and everything we know about season 47 of NBC’s late-night sketch show
"Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!"
Saturday Night Live has been a TV institution for nearly 50 years, as NBC’s late-night sketch show is in its 47th season.
While shepherded by creator Lorne Michaels for all that time, SNL has featured a gigantic roster of comedic talents as both cast members, hosts and writers, all of which have contributed memorable characters and moments that have found permanent homes in the cultural landscape.
Whether you’re staying up late to watch it live or watching new and classic clips on YouTube, SNL is always good for a laugh, delivering plenty of them already throughout season 47. Here is everything we know about this season of Saturday Night Live.
Who is this week's Saturday Night Live host, musical guest?
This week's Saturday Night Live on May 21 is going to be the season 47 finale. Here is who is hosting.
May 21: Russian Doll star and co-creator Natasha Lyonne as host, her first time appearing on the show. In addition to Russian Doll, Lyonne is known for her roles in American Pie and Orange Is the New Black, and is starring in the upcoming Peacock series, Poker Face.
Musical guest for the SNL season 47 finale is Japanese Breakfast. The Grammy-nominated band is making their SNL debut while they are currently on a North American tour for their album, Jubilee.
When is the Saturday Night Live finale?`
NBC has announced that Saturday Night Live season 47's finale is going to be on May 21 at 11:30 pm ET/8:30 pm PT.
Who is in the Saturday Night Live cast?
SNL has introduced viewers to some of their favorite comedians of all time: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg, just to name a few. And the current cast of Saturday Night Live is filled with a bunch of fan favorites as well.
As SNL has reached the end of its 47th season, some rumors about cast exits have started to come up. Variety reports that Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney are "expected to leave" the show at the end of this season.

When does Saturday Night Live air
Saturday Night Live, unsurprisingly, airs on Saturday nights. One thing that the show started doing a couple of years ago, though, is living up to its name and airing live across all U.S. time zones. So, while SNL starts at its traditional time of 11:30 p.m. on the east coast, it is broadcast simultaneously in all other time zones — at 10:30 p.m. central, 9:30 p.m. mountain and 8:30 p.m. Pacific time zone.
Peacock users will also be able to stream SNL live for the rest of the season, per NBC.
If you can't watch it live, SNL is also available to watch on-demand in its entirety the next day on either Peacock or Hulu.
How to watch Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live has been an NBC staple on Saturday nights (go figure) at 11:30 pm for its entire run. While for many years the show would air at the 11:30 pm time slot in every U.S. time zone, but in 2017 the show decided to begin airing live across the country, meaning that it was available at 8:30 pm ET on the west coast.
No matter what time you’re watching it, SNL can be seen on your local NBC station. NBC is available on just about every platform that carries live TV, be it a traditional cable package; services like YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo TV or Sling TV; or even a TV antenna.
If you miss the live airing of the show, the most recent episodes will be available to stream on Hulu and NBCUniversal’s own streaming service, Peacock, on Sunday. Peacock also has 46 seasons available to stream. Clips from the most recent episode of SNL also find their way to YouTube the day after it airs.
In addition, Saturday Night Live does air across the pond in the U.K. Full episodes of SNL air on Sky Comedy. Fun note, according to Deadline, a British version of Saturday Night Live is in development at Sky, though apparently still in the early stages.

When we fail to keep ourselves fit and healthy, we would eventually face the dire consequences. That is why it is very important to really put effort in making ourselves healthy like consuming NZ protein powder to keep our body healthy. We would experience different kinds of troubles and diseases when we are not able to stay healthy. When we fail to watch what we eat and we often neglect physical activities, we must expect that sometime in our lives we would experience different kinds of heart diseases. Some others even suffer stroke and other cholesterol related diseases.
However, it is not also correct to let ourselves dive into any physical activities that are readily present. You have to consult the experts to ask from them the right exercise that you have to engage into. You have to be able to determine is right for your health condition or even your age. Yes, physical exercise can be beneficial but you also have to take into consideration the factors that might affect your body's reactions to different physical activities. You must always ask a doctor's advice before engaging yourself in any physical exercise. For example, children with normal conditions should be able to engage themselves for at least an hour with different kinds of activities. For mature adults, they must be able to engage only with moderate level of activities for at least two hours depending on your health condition. What is important is that you don't let yourself vacant or idle. You have to keep yourself moving if possible.
Although it may not seem obvious, another way to keep fit that's growing in popularity is pole dancing. Check out Hamilton strippers for a good example of this.

In this sequel to I, Claudius, the story of the Roman Emperor—on which the award-winning BBC TV series was based—continues . . .
In I, Claudius, Robert Graves began the story of the limping, stammering young man who is suddenly thrust onto the throne after the death of Caligula. In Claudius the God, Graves continues the story, detailing Claudius’s thirteen-year reign and his ultimate downfall. Painting the vivid, tumultuous, and decadent society of ancient Rome with spectacular detail, Graves provides a tale that is instructive, compelling, and difficult to put down for both casual readers and students of Roman history.

Friday, July 15, 2011
Someone I know told me recently that he has never wanted to share his home with non-human animals, specifically because of his fear of having to deal with their eventual loss by way of either illness or age. I'd been telling him about my own fears over recent weeks concerning my boy Zeus' latest bout with vertigo. The person with whom I was speaking had, in fact, happened to be visiting around a year and a half ago when Zeus' dizziness had first manifested itself in a major way, leaving him uncoordinated and distressed. We'd taken him to the vet's together to have him checked out and we were both worried about my little guy.
Healers as Harbingers
It was good to have someone else along for the first time in years -- good to have someone to help steady my nerves a little. The vet's office has always been an awkward place for me. Where once upon a time it was a place to which I'd bring various younger members of my feline family, whether to treat the odd minor issue or urinary tract infection; it was also a place to go to get a sense of reassurance. Over the years as various cats who've come into my care have aged, it's become a place I sometimes struggle not to dread visiting. I still remember clearly the early morning well over a dozen years ago I'd risen to get a glass of water and to check email, only to find Tarwater unable to move one of his hind legs. A few hours later, I received the worst diagnosis: saddle thrombus -- a blood clot which lodges itself in an artery in the leg. This was followed by the news that saddle thrombus is often associated with serious congestive heart disease and that in Tar's case, function of his leg might never be restored and that amputation might, in fact, end up required. Furthermore, I was told that because of the clot and the detection of a faint heart murmur that Tarwater would not likely be with us much longer -- that he would eventually succumb to stroke or heart failure.
Tar, as it turns out, lived another 10 years with nothing more than a slight limp which never prevented him from reaching the top of the fridge where he would curl up and keep an eye on me as I hovered over the stove. The damage was done, though. This was my first experience with getting "Really, Really Bad News" from my vet; for the first time, a visit to the veterinary clinic had left me more afraid than reassured.
As the rest of the gang aged and a few older fosters passed through, my visits to the veterinary clinic became more frequently punctuated by worry, nervousness and sometimes sorrow. Hyperthyroidism. Eosinophilic granuloma complex. Asthma. Chronic renal failure. Idiopathic vestibular disease. Some conditions (e.g. the asthma) have been manageable thanks to the amenable cooperation of the cats who know me as their favourite can opener. With other diagnoses, though, often comes the reminder -- sometimes even the confirmation -- that time shared together is coming to an end. The truth is, though, that every relationship we take on with someone reaches a conclusion of sorts, whether that someone is feline, canine or human.
Several years ago, walking home from a university class, I saw a woman calling out to what looked like a wobbly black kitten wandering along the edge of a busy street at the tail end of rush hour. I scooped up this little cat, realizing that as tiny and skinny as she was that she was no kitten. I brought her home and sneaked her into my office before my then-spouse could pause his favourite video game. She was filthy, infested with ear mites, had overgrown claws and what I suspected was ringworm. Her breath was horrid enough to nearly make me nauseous. As the ex and I later watched her devour the food I'd given her, we agreed that after getting her checked out by our vet and then making the appropriate calls to rule out that someone wasn't looking for her, we'd gained a new roommate. Her badly abscessed teeth would require hundreds of dollars to deal with and as we led up to the holidays, some friends and family members questioned that we would show willingness to spend money on this elderly little cat we'd named Maudie, whom we'd also come to discover during the blood-work required before her intensive dental work, had failing kidneys.
Wouldn't it make more sense to cut our losses and have "someone else's (abandoned) cat" euthanized, they asked, especially since we had no way to tell how much longer she'd live. The thing is, though, that "someone else's cat" was now our responsibility and that she had a right to her own life -- a life we'd chosen to share and to weave into our own lives. Maudie had her ups and downs and near the end, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it was hard to be perpetually aware of the fact that her remaining days were few. It was almost an exact year from the day I'd found her that she decided to let go. Seven years later, I still remember what it felt like to wake up to her slight weight on my head, with her tiny thumb-sized paws kneading my scalp, and of how I'd sing verses of "Maudie Girl" to her.
As hard as it was to watch her fade in her final days and as much as she was and is now missed, I cannot imagine not having helped this little cat -- not having gotten to know this unique little individual who'd nestled herself so sweetly and firmly into our hearts and memories. I cannot imagine having allowed the fear of losing her to have prevented me from ever having had the opportunity to know her. Worse, I refuse to imagine what might have happened to her had I not scooped her up from the traffic that day so many years ago.
Why Let Them In?
When we invite non-humans into our homes, we do so for many reasons. I'd like to ask you to consider what's perhaps the most important reason: In the US alone, 3-4 million cats and dogs are killed every single year in shelters. Consider that 5 out of 10 dogs and 7 out of ten cats killed in shelters every year die simply because they are not adopted; meanwhile, up to 30% of cats and dogs brought into new homes each year in the US come from breeders and pet stores. (You can see some of these statistics here or find similar information elsewhere on the internet.) The bottom line is that adopting a non-human animal from a shelter will quite literally save a life, whether the life of the animal in question, or that of another animal waiting to be taken home. This, in and of itself, is the reason that it's crucial that anyone who has the room in their hearts and homes for a non-human should look no further than their local shelter.
So you want a purebred? Around 25% of dogs relinquished to US shelters are, in fact, purebred. You say you want a kitten/puppy? Talk to any shelter employee or volunteer about what's commonly known as kitten/puppy season in shelters because of the overwhelming numbers of unspayed cats and dogs often relinquished or found with their litters. And if you don't have time to deal with kitten and puppy hijinks, I assure you that the number of adult dogs and cats you'll find -- many of them who are just ordinary loving animals whose only reason for being in a shelter is that they are simply no longer wanted -- is absolutely staggering. No room for a cat or a dog? Adopt one of the many others who also get relinquished to shelters: rabbits, rats, mice, hamsters, birds, et al.
Fear of Loss or Fear of Gain?
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about loss these past few days. On top of other goings on, dealing with recent vet visits, tests and uncertainty during these past weeks for my pal Zeus' on and off again (and consistently misdiagnosed) condition of the past year and a half has left me working hard to not dwell on heartache. Having loved and lost often over the past few years, I've learned that it's far from anything you get used to and that one loss invariably seems to compound or amplify the fear of another. It also smarts when I see friends and acquaintances trying to wrap their own heads around the potential (or actual) loss of loved ones of their own, whether human or non-human. It smarts even more to watch them deal with the aftermath since it's all too familiar. Although they may become fewer as time passes, there are always reminders.
Every single one of us reaches a point in our lives where we're left to deal with some sort of tear in the fabric of what constitutes our immediate existence. So many different factors influence each individual's own experience with it, that how we're each left dealing with it varies greatly, with the common thread being that awareness in that very moment that the loved one is just no longer "here" in whatever capacity the loved one was "here" in our everyday-ness. We try to find meaning in what's left and, with time, to pick up those threads and to patch the tears however we can. This is all that we can really do.
The sense of loss, however, isn't limited to coping with the final amscraying into nothingness brought by the death of another. Although people walk in and out of our lives constantly as we also walk into and out of theirs, we find ourselves focusing on the few who bring us some level of happiness and and we end up weaving our interactions with them into our mental meanderings about the future. Some become close friends, while others we choose as romantic cohorts to accompany us on this crazy trip called life. Those individuals get factored in. All of the goodness they bring to our existence and the accompanying opportunities for reciprocity get factored into the "stories of us" we unwittingly build for ourselves; our dreams and anticipations spill over and wrap themselves around frameworks we've tentatively assembled, our makeshift ever-afters.
The truth is that as much as we cannot control that a loved one dies, we cannot -- ultimately -- control when someone will consciously choose to otherwise remove themselves from our lives. That's also part of this thing called "living". What we can control, however, is whether we take a chance and open up and risk being loved and risk loving back. What we can control is our willingness to take that opportunity to come together with somebody and to share time together. We ultimately control who we let in and we completely control what we are willing and able to give to that other. It's all we can do and sometimes, for another, it's everything.
On Loving Non-humans
I've had more than a handful of animal rights activists say to me over the years that there's something inherently wrong in admitting that we derive pleasure from our relationships with the non-humans we adopt or rescue. I've had animal rights activists say to me that there's something inherently selfish about saying "I couldn't imagine not living with a cat", as if to say it somehow implies that we're objectifying cats. I think that really misses the point concerning speciesism and concerning society's general view and use of non-human animals. The truth is that for many of us who share our lives with dogs, cats, rabbits and other non-human persons, those relationships are indeed profoundly meaningful and there is indeed reciprocation. I can't help but think that anyone claiming to me that non-human animals are unable to develop emotional bonds with humans has simply never spent more than a few hours with a non-human animal. And yes, letting a non-human in and allowing oneself to love him or her leaves oneself open to the pain of the eventual loss of that individual, but isn't that ultimately what life and loving are all about?
Please give a non-human animal in a shelter a chance at living out his or her life in comfort and happiness. By giving someone this opportunity, you'll not only save a life, but you will indeed gain a friend. It breaks my heart to know that millions of non-humans in North America alone are dying every year merely for want of having someone let them in. It breaks my heart even more to think that these millions are dying and that they won't, in fact, be missed. They'll just be statistics when they could be a Maudie or a Tarwater -- or a Zeus.

It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed. It was once considered foolish to suppose that black men were really human beings and ought to be treated as such. What was once foolish has now become a recognized truth. Today it is considered as exaggeration to proclaim constant respect for every form of life as being the serious demand of a rational ethic. But the time is coming when people will be amazed that the human race existed so long before it recognized that thoughtless injury to life is incompatible with real ethics. Ethics is in its unqualified form extended responsibility to everything that has life.


Future Robotics, the UK’s only independent industrial robotics conference, takes place on Tuesday 13 November in The Slate conference centre at Warwick University – and HMK Automation Group will be there to showcase its extended range of Collaborative Robots or ‘Cobots’ with integrated vision.
HMK has added two new products to its Robotic portfolio, the TM12 and TM14 from TECHMAN, increasing payloads to 12Kg and 14Kg and extending reach to 1300mm and 1100mm respectively. The official UK distributor of TECHMAN robots, HMK continues to spearhead innovation with the introduction of the most advanced range of collaborative robots (Cobots) pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automation and implementing the future of industry 4.0 today.
With the UK’s manufacturing industry falling behind the rest of the world when it comes to investing in robotic automation technology, Datateam Business Media has announced the launch of Future Robotics: a one-day event with a pioneering approach to the topic.
Challenging ideas and opening minds
With preconceptions about utilising robotic automation rife in the UK’s manufacturing industry, Future Robotics will focus on practicalities. Whether it’s ‘What ROI can be expected?’, ‘Which sectors/processes are most suited?’ or ‘What type of robots are available?’, the conference will provide a true insight into the benefits and realities of using the technology for design, production, finishing, materials handling and more.
The conference will respond to this industry’s motivations and ambitions. Future Robotics is about answering the big questions on the current climate and looking at where we need to be in the future.

Claws are curved appendages, sharpened to a point, that grow on the ends of the limbs of many animals. Typically Claws are used in the animal kingdom to grip surfaces and attack prey. Within the Legacy of Kain series, claws are implied to be a natural development of Vampires, which provide them with a basic weapon when unarmed;[BO2-C1] as such Claws are featured as a 'weapon' in Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2 andBlood Omen 2.
Claws were first able to be utilized as a weapon in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (the first game in the series to allow the protagonist to be 'unarmed'). Raziel was able to extensively use his claws against enemies in Combat (see also: Combat (SR1)), where claws were faster than other weapons, but lacked much of the power. Raziel's claws, whilst allowing Raziel to perform several combos and effectively 'stun' a Vampire, were not powerful enough to finish them outright - instead Raziel had to take advantage of the surrounding environment to kill Vampires (using one of the 'finishing moves'), or alternatively impale the vampire using a Spear or other weapons. Raziel's claws were insufficient to permanently cleave and impale a vampire in themselves[SR1].
Claws returned inSoul Reaver 2, once again utilised as Raziel's default weapon whilst unarmed. Like their appearance in Soul Reaver, they were the quickest but also the weakest of the weapons at Raziel's disposal. Raziel could use claws extensively in combat against enemies (see also: Combat (SR2)) if he was not armed with any of the more powerful weapons. Unlike their use in Soul Reaver, claws were now powerful enough to penetrate and 'impale' an enemy (as he mostly fights humans, rather than vampires) enabling Raziel to execute a 'fatal blow' when the enemy was stunned, by ripping out their heart (possibly a nod to the fate of Janos Audron later in the story)[SR2].
Claws are only used as a weapon in games which allow the protagonist to drop, break or otherwise lose their weapons; in both Blood Omen[BO1] and Defiance[DEF], the protagonist cannot lose their weapons.
Though claws are generally mentioned in a combat/weapon context, they are likely to be involved in the Scale Walls ability demonstrated by Raziel throughout the Soul Reaver arc and Kain in Defiance.

A crypto recovery firm, Unciphered, has written an open letter to former Ripple Chief Technology Officer, Stefan Thomas, to unlock a hard drive that he owns containing over 7,000 Bitcoin.
The IronKey hard drive, which Thomas possesses, holds 7,002 BTC, equivalent to approximately $244 million.
Unfortunately, Thomas has forgotten the means to access the drive, which is designed to erase its contents after ten incorrect password attempts.
As of now, he has exhausted eight of these attempts.
The IronKey is a secure FIPS-140-2 level 3 device, boasting a security level on par with devices used to safeguard sensitive government information.
Dubbed “Project Everest” by Unciphered, this cryptocurrency recovery platform successfully reverse-engineered the inter-chip communication protocols, the controller’s firmware, cryptographic implementation details, and comprehensively understood the IronKey’s functionality.
A report by technology magazine Wired on October 24 revealed that the company managed to access data on a similar IronKey after a staggering “200 trillion tries,” effectively bypassing the ten-attempt limitation imposed by the device.
Despite the open letter to Thomas, the Ripple CTO seems uninterested in Unciphered’s offer.
They had engaged with Thomas through a mutual associate who could vouch for the company’s capabilities in unlocking IronKeys.
Nevertheless, the discussion did not progress to the point of considering Unciphered’s commission or fee.
Thomas politely declined.
Reportedly, Thomas had previously made a “handshake deal” with two other cracking teams a year earlier.
In an effort to avoid competition between them, he offered each team a share of the proceeds if either could successfully unlock the drive.
Even a year later, he remains committed to providing these teams with additional time to solve the problem, although neither has shown any progress in decrypting the drive, unlike Unciphered, who has successfully cracked the IronKey.
Nick Fedoroff, Unciphered’s director of operations, stated:
“We cracked the IronKey. Now we have to crack Stefan. This is turning out to be the hardest part.”

The poinsettia (/pɔɪnˈsɛtiə/ or /pɔɪnˈsɛtə/) (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a commercially important plant species of the diverse spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Indigenous to Central America, it was described as a new species in 1834. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico, who is credited with introducing the plant to the US in the 1820s. Poinsettias are shrubs or small trees, with heights of 0. 6–4 m (2. 0–13. 1 ft). Though often stated to be highly toxic, the poinsettia is not dangerous to pets or children. Exposure to the plant, even consumption, most often results in no effect, though it can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

A Cornish coastal town is set to benefit from £2 million in funding to fight the impacts of climate change.
The funding has been made available by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund – and will see Bude stave off the rising sea levels it’s been experiencing in recent years.
Cornwall has been circled as an area of the UK that will be hit the hardest by climate change, with its proximity to the sea.
Storms also hit the region hard, with Storm Eunice causing real damage to Bude last year.
Building up resistance to storms, rising sea levels and coastal erosion will be the key focus of the new funding.
On providing the grant, the National Lottery’s Nick Gardner said: “Communities have a big role to play in tackling climate change locally and ultimately helping to move the UK towards net zero.”
Head of the Bude Climate Partnership, Robert Uhlig, added: “In effect, we're the UK's Maldives. Idyllic and beautiful but facing an existential and imminent threat to our way of life due to sea-level rise.
“With 70% of local businesses dependent on tourism, it’s imperative in a rapidly changing climate that we work together to ensure the sustainability of a sector that employs 40% of our workforce and defines our way of life.”


OpenSprinkler › Forums › Hardware Questions › OpenSprinkler › Ethernet Connectivity Intermittent, Then Not Available › Reply To: Ethernet Connectivity Intermittent, Then Not Available
I’m writing this with a certain amount of egg on my face. It turns out that My OpenSprinkler Controller V 1.4X, in service since 2013, is alive and well. The connectivity problem was caused by a failing Trendnet Powerline Carrier Adapter, which went from intermittent to dead over several weeks. It should have been easy to isolate, but in my haste, I may have swapped out the adapter with another with a similar problem, or even worse, I may have put the same one back in. The troubleshooting was further complicated by trying to hook up a laptop, thinking it was just like connecting to one of my IP Cams, and not needing any special drivers or setup that I didn’t provide.
Once inside and connected to my router, as Ray suggested, it was immediately clear that things were working normally. It is back outside operating as before, and will probably again live through the 115+F temps that are coming again soon. The second good news it that I’ll have a backup that I can put in place with minimal effort.

Samantha Ellis’ How To Be A Heroine has certainly opened up doors for me when it comes to 1930s and 40s English literature. The literature of the twentieth century has always eluded me before now, mostly because I was convinced that it would be, based on my limited experience with it, either a) depressing, or b) mad, confusing, and experimental. Or possibly both.
But one thing I’ve found, reading Cold Comfort Farm and re-reading I Capture The Castle, is how contemporary these texts can feel. And they’re so easy to read, flowing like Victorian novels – only with telephones and cars thrown in. The same can be said of South Riding, another of the books that Ellis discusses in How To Be A Heroine.
South Riding is set in the fictional South Riding of Yorkshire, and its main character is a forty-year old spinster called Sarah Burton, who comes up from London to become the headmistress of the girls’ high school. She brings with her boundless energy and a desire for reform. She’s a character who believes that “The proper technique of headmistress-ship was to break all rules of decorum and justify the breach” (Book I, Chapter V).
The Nineties seem to have been a bit of a golden decade for book-to-film adaptations. Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Shakespeare all got the star treatment in this decade. Perhaps a little less known, but nonetheless well-loved, is the 1995 adaptation of Stella Gibbons’ Cold Comfort Farm, which I read a little while ago. It stars Kate Beckinsdale as Flora Poste, the nosy, recently orphaned young woman who goes to live with her strange family at Cold Comfort Farm, and turn their lives upside down.
Interestingly enough, Beckinsdale went on to play Austen’s Emma in the 1996 adaptation, one year after Cold Comfort Farm was released. Whether she got this role based on her role as Flora Poste, the twentieth century’s Emma Woodhouse, or whether she was filming both films simultaneously (or one after the other?), it’s an interesting crossover. And her character in this movie is indeed similar to Emma Woodhouse, although Beckinsdale plays Emma with a bit more of a twinkle, a lightness which is not present in her portrayal of Flora, which is a little more understated. Continue reading
Frankly, I wasn’t sure whether to write a review of Cold Comfort Farm. It piqued my interest because I’d read about it in Samantha Ellis’ How To Be A Heroine, and thought it sounded fantastic. Considering it has been dubbed “Probably the funniest book ever written”, and emerged in the period of inestimable comic talents like P.G. Wodehouse, I decided I’d give it a go.
The reason I didn’t know whether to write a review or not was probably because I didn’t know what to make of the book itself. Lest I show my ignorance (or my poor sense of humour, often inclined to the banana-peel school of comedy, if I’m honest, despite my best efforts to cultivate it), I put off writing anything about it.
But Cold Comfort Farm is a strange book, and I hope that writing a little bit about it will allow me to puzzle it through. If not – well, hopefully one of my lovely readers will help me out. Continue reading

"CBD could be the abbreviation for Cannabidiol, the cannabis component with medicinal value that's also the most abundant one in marijuana" Here really is the claim of this CBDNOL shop in Austria. They claim to offer you the greatest CBD articles from Austria. About CBD web site, a website specializing in the discussion of using cannabis and its own connected CBD extractions, states CBD is one of the most essential ingredients which make marijuana so calming. It's said to balance the emotional impacts of the medication, and certainly will even relieve discomfort.
Cannabidiol is taken from the cannabis plant by a process referred to as trans-resinization. It might be obtained as an oral nutritional supplement or you may smoke it. In any sort, it acts on the human body such as other drugs do, but without having precisely the identical nasty unwanted impacts whilst the carcinogenic chemical does. The CBDNOL store asserts that people afflicted by migraines, Parkinson's disease, obesity, along with chronic melancholy will be the best applicants to test this type of remedy.
But what's CBDNOL? It is the trade name of cannabidiol, a chemical that is produced by the cannabis plantlife. In case the information of this CBD from the plant is high, it is thought to own more health benefits than some other medicines like Glucophage, an anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety medicine. It is likewise maintained that CBD comes with an anti-toxic effect. However, do they actually meet your own claims?
CBDNOL has been approved by the FDA at 2021 and also is really a patented system. It is unavailable directly from the growers. Somewhat, it comes as a supplement available using a registered physician's prescription drug medicine. To purchase cannabis or even cannabidiol on line, one wants to visit a CBDNOL shop. Even the CBDNOL organization web site does not cite any dosage tips and urges which the decision should be made by your doctor based on your private health.
Some common questions about cannabidiol comprise, does this act like a antipsychotic, does it cure chronic soreness and does it have any unwanted effects. The only side effects that have been noticed are minor annoyance when taking the dietary supplement over a regular basis. Anecdotal evidence does suggest that people that acquire cannabis and CBDNOL feel anxious and undergo a decrease in desire. However, the stark reality is there is no medical signs that cannabidiol has some influence on abnormal behavior.
It isn't likely that cannabidiol will end up a treatment for all the conditions which can be cited as being connected with cannabis use, for example but not limited by chronic discomfort, psychosis, and stress. Nor can it be possible that CBD could be utilised to treat a disease or illness that is listed as a side effect from the united states National Institute on Drug Abuse's set of drugs that are habit-forming. As an instance, it has been claimed the CBD can be used to boost the strength of someone's tooth. Although this appears to be a good thing, the effects are wholly functioning and will reduce after a few days.
Cannabidiol also plays a part within the weight-loss process. People acquire cannabis and CBDNOL dietary supplements due to the fact that they genuinely believe that those supplements may aid them lose weight. In reality, weight loss may not be specifically credited to CBD consumption. It's thought that CBD stops the body from storing excess fat because it interferes with neuro hypoglycemia, a symptom associated with diabetes. However, because weight loss affects just about everyone who consumes it, says are still being forced.
If you are interested in buying cannabis and CBD supplements, then you ought to think about buying them by the respectable provider. Ensure that the online supplier has been operating for a couple years along with the company is part of their Canadian Dispensaries affiliation. You should also learn whether they provide a complimentary trial purchase and if their sending charges are reasonable.

Anchored In The Environment
The observation tower is built on a small hill in recovering Negenoord, establishing a strong relationship with its environment by using local materials excavated from the Maas area
Negenoord is a former gravel extraction area (about 150ha), which is now transformed to a nature reserve called Maasvalley Riverpark, 2,500 hectares in size and located on both sides of the Belgium-Netherlands border which is formed by the Maas river. The redevelopment also gives more space for the river creating a flooding area.
Our client for this project is a government organization who organizes the redevelopment of all former gravel extraction areas. The concept for the redevelopment of Negenoord focused on spontaneous nature development, natural education but also recreational use. In order to fully experience the area, a small observation tower had to be built on a small hill, located in the middle of the area and created to keep the tower safe from winter floods.
We created a building that was crafted with the local materials excavated from the Maas area: earth, clay and gravel. External walls were created with the rammed earth building technique. The surface area of these walls will slowly erode, so the gravel will become visible after a while. Inside, a central core with stairs is made out of concrete, which is sandblasted to show the gravel as well. Through its materialization, the building tells us about the location it’s built. and becomes strongly anchored in its environment.
The climb to the top is conceived in different sequences. On each of the landings of the top 3 staircases a different view opens up to the environment. The triangular shape and the position of the cut-off corners was determined by these views.
The rammed earth building technique is thousands of years old and can be found in the whole world. Soil-damp earth gets poured in layers of 15cm into a formwork and is compressed mechanically to 12cm. The correct mixture of sand, clay and gravel makes it suitable for building load-bearing walls.
The tower is the first public earthen building in the Benelux region. the standardization of the building technique is still under development. For the moment, there are no standards yet and that makes it difficult to describe the technique for use in a public project. To guarantee the quality of the construction, the design team was supported by an international team of experts: Cratterre/ Vessières&Cie/ BC Studies. The earth-consultants analyzed different local materials, tried different mixes and evaluated them on compression force, abrasion, color and appearance. The chosen mix consisted of 20% gravel, 40% ochre-colored earth, and 40% clay, stabilized with Trasslime.
They also included a report on how to detail architectural design when building with Rammed Earth, as well as on how to organize the construction site for Rammed Earth Works. During construction, workers were trained in mixing, maintaining right humidity in the mix, building formwork, ramming and removing formwork. Every week, field testing of humidity, and laboratory testing of compression force on specimens were done to monitor the quality.


BITWAGE UNVEILS BITCOIN PAYROLL FOR THE INDIVIDUAL REGARDLESS OF EMPLOYER APPROVAL
Bitwage Bitcoin Payroll for the Individual, BP(i), is now live and in a free private beta for customers to test, changing the game for employee payroll. As most all bitcoin users know, bitcoin is difficult to receive even through services like Circle and Coinbase. No matter how smooth the process may look, it’s still a bit more difficult to get your hands on bitcoin than to grab cash from the ATM. To some, it’s just not simple enough.
Some bitcoin users are urging their employers to pay them in bitcoin rather than their country’s national currency to combat the bitcoin exchange headache, but it takes a lot of convincing. First you have to explain bitcoin, and then evangelize it to your employer, assure them it’s legal and even then there’s still the fear of change present in their mind. It’s a conversation that’s difficult to have, leaving most people without the perk of being paid with the currency they choose.
As all things bitcoin, there’s usually a way to circumvent the gatekeeper and use it as you please close on the horizon. Bitwage unveiled their new way for people to get paid in bitcoin without having to win over their employer today, providing another tool to give power back to the people.

Faculty, students dedicate Dia de los Muertos to children who have died in ICE custody
Over 50 students and faculty dedicated their celebration of el Día de Los Muertos to the remembrance to the children who have died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. The event was held by the today in Rayzor Hall from four to six p.m.
Students were urged to attend the event after photos circulated of students dressed as ICE officers at the Halloween event at Willy’s Pub. The photos caused outrage and responses from administration and student leadership.
The event began with an introduction from Luziris Pineda Turi and three members of Hispanic Association for Cultural Enrichment at Rice, who explained the significance of el Día de Los Muertos first in Spanish, then in English.
This presentation was followed by the stories of children who have died in ICE custody in their journeys of immigration to the United States. As with the introduction, the biographies were read by students within Rice’s Spanish program of all levels of proficiency, first in Spanish, then in English.
Summer Shabana, a freshman at Baker College, read a biography written by the sister of Carlos Hernandez Vasquez, who died at age 16 in an ICE holding facility after crossing the Texas border.
“Carlos was very happy about traveling to the United States,” she read. “Because he was excited to send back money to help his parents.”
Vasquez died in May of the flu.
Turi began to cry as she closed out the program, asking students to write cards to the rest of the children who remain in ICE custody.
“We didn’t want this to feel hopeless,” she said. “I know it’s hard, but I know that myself and all my colleagues are very proud to be at Rice and to see all these faces here today.”
More from The Rice Thresher
Members of Houston Uighur Society spoke at Rice last Thursday on the recent events regarding the Uighur population in China. In their talk, the members presented on the internment of the Uighurs in Chinese ‘re-education’ camps that are being implemented allegedly to erase Uighur religious and cultural identity.
In an attempt to increase campuswide sustainability, Housing & Dining has adopted a new composting initiative that includes a composting trial at the North Colleges Servery. Over the past two years, Rice has made multiple updates to the recycling system in order to try to meet a 40 percent recycling rate goal by 2020, according to Richard Johnson, director of the Administrative Center for Sustainability and Energy Management at Rice.
On a "Toxic Tour" of Houston, led by the Houston Air Alliance, 15 students visited gas-flares, a polluted section of the Buffalo Bayou and a neighborhood encircled by refineries. The event was hosted by the Green Dorm Initiative and wound through the Second Ward, crossed Galena Park, touched the Buffalo Bayou, circled back toward the Fifth Ward and ended at Manchester.

U.S. Economic/Financial News
U.S.-Made Steel Plunged 50% September to December
Jan. 2 (EIRNS)Steel production in the United States virtually became a trickle after years of consolidation and shutdown of the nation's big steel companies. Profits and productivity shot up only due to this shakeout of the industry. But now even that has collapsed. The Houston Chronicle reported that output of U.S.-made steel plunged 50% since September, as credit dried up and companies closed down, especially auto makers. "By late December, output was down to 1.02 million tons a week from 2.1 million tons on Aug. 30, the American Iron and Steel Institute reported," and the price of a ton of steel is down by half since Summer. "We are making our steel at four mills instead of six," said John Armstrong, a spokesman for the U.S. Steel Corp., who added that two mills were recently idled and the four still operating are at less than full capacity.
Steel industry groups issued a call to the incoming Obama Administration for a stimulus plan to get America building and to require a goods purchased with stimulus monies to be made in America. "What we are asking," said Daniel R. DiMicco, chairman and chief executive of the Nucor Corp., a giant steelmaker, "is that our government deal with the worst economic slowdown in our lifetime through a recovery program that has in every provision a 'buy America' clause."
U.S. Treasuries Selling at Record Low Yields
Dec. 28 (EIRNS)With interest rates scraping zero under the insane Fed policy, the U.S. Treasury is faced with selling record amounts of debt for next to nothing. Treasury claims it will sell $2 trillion in debt this fiscal year, although that is less than one fourth of the money it has dumped into the world garbage can called a banking system thus far. Bloomberg reports that the yield on the 30-year bond was 2.5090% on Dec. 18, the lowest since regular sales of the security began in 1977going on the principle that people would rather have almost no income in government paper than lose everything in the speculation-dominated private financial system.
Hedge Funds Took Pension Funds Down with Them in 2008
Jan. 3 (EIRNS)Hedge funds suffered their worst year yet, in 2008, losing 18% in assets and suffering a net outflow of $370 billion according to the consulting firm Hedge Fund Research, reported the Washington Post today. They're also taking many state pension funds with them, funds that made the mistake of investing in these "sophisticated investment strategies." According to Hedge Fund Research, hedge funds' capital base dropped from an all-time high of $1.93 trillion in June to $1.56 trillion by October. Investors withdrew $70 billion, and $300 billion was accounted for by performance losses. Pension funds that invested in hedge funds have suffered similarly. The Pennsylvania state pension fund lost 14.4% in the first nine months of 2008. One-fifth of it was invested in those "sophisticated investment strategies" which lost 31%. The state pension fund in Massachusetts was down 30% last year, through November, including 18% from its hedge fund investments.
States' Pension Funds Suffer Big Losses in 2008
Dec. 31 (EIRNS)The inevitable losses to states' pensions funds occurred, as Congress failed to adopt Lyndon LaRouche's economic recovery plans. Here is a very small sample from around the nation:
* Texas: Three public pension funds for Houston government employeesfire, police, and municipal workershave lost a combined $1.9 billion in value since the beginning of the year, according to the Houston Chronicle.
* Massachusetts: The state pension fund lost $2 billion in November, bringing its loss for the year to $16.1 billion, the worst performance since it was formed. The return on the fund, used to pay the pensions of public sector retirees, is down 30.1% for the year through November.
* New Jersey: The pension fund for teachers and government workers declined by 24.6% or about $21 billion through November, according to reports delivered to the State Investment Council.
* Wyoming: The state's investment portfolio had lost, as of November, $1 billion in market value. The Wyoming public employee pension fund has taken a 25% plunge in market value.
* California: San Jose's retirement director says the city's pension fundsone for firefighters and police and the other for civilian workershave lost nearly $1 billion since July 1.

The board of the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP) has made its report to the Minister of Finance regarding the future of the plan.
The report says the plan is sustainable as a defined benefit plan, without making changes to ‘core’ pension benefits. The report also indicates that the board agrees the plan can be sustainable without taking away benefits already accrued by plan members.
While this sounds encouraging, plan members should know that the LAPP defines ‘core’ benefits very narrowly. And the promise to protect existing benefits, while reassuring to current retirees, does nothing to comfort plan members still in the workplace. Retirement security is an issue for all workers, not just those who are already retired.
The board has also indicated it is reluctant to increase contribution rates beyond 25% of salary.
As we’ve indicated in the past, CUPE is open to plan changes to support sustainability, if they are needed, and if members have a full say in those changes the largest public sector plans in other provinces tend to have joint trustee structures meaning both members and employers have an equal say in how the plan is governed, along with an equal responsibility to keep the plan financially healthy. In Alberta, the Minister of Finance can make changes to LAPP. Members have almost no formal role.
So it is a small, but positive step that the LAPP board has agreed to look at a number of issues going forward, including governance changes that would support a jointly trusteed plan.
Finally, we also take it as a positive sign that the LAPP has indicated that the results from its highly flawed survey of members will not be received by the board, and will be permanently set aside.

Inside: Herringbone stitch for knitters with written instructions and tutorial video
Herringbone Stitch (flat panel)
The flat herringbone stitch on needles is a very smooth front railroaded herringbone, with a horizontal series of bump or lines in the back. This creates a thicker fabric in these spots and a very interesting and textured fabric.
Cast-on as many stitches as you need.
See notes below for main stitch written out. It is a 2 row stitch pattern repeat. [Directions for knitting in the round to come at later date; see loom knitting link below for all right side knitting instructions that apply to needles in the round.] (When completing rows remove stitch marker to knit two stitches together and slip one. Move stitch back to the left needle. Place stitch marker on right needle. Twist stitch on left needle and move to the right needle. Continue in pattern).
Complete row 2. I recommend using a crochet hook to work from opposite the working yarn end (right side of loom). Pick up the first 2 stitches. Lift the back loop over the front. Pick up next stitch and repeat. When 1 loop left, cut working yarn and pull through. Weave in tails toward the back of the knitting. A basic or flat panel bind off will give it a stretchy or slightly flared edge which may be desirable for some projects.
New to knitting? I’ve got a How to Knit Beginner Video Series to teach you ALL the basics.
Use a large needle size than your ball band of yarn calls for. It produces a thicker fabric.
Here is the Herringbone Stitch pattern written out:
Row 1: *k2tog tbl, slip on the first stitch only*, repeat between *,* until 1 remains, knit 1
Row 2: *p2tog, slip on the first stitch only*, repeat between *,* until 1 remains, purl 1
