Various conservation projects have been carried out to preserve archaeological remains affected by construction work on the Airport Core Programme (ACP).
In a survey of Ma Wan, through which the Lantau Fixed Crossing passes, a late Neolithic (2,500 - 1,500 BC) site was discovered at Sha Lau Tong Wan.
Western Han (206BC - AD25) materials with iron implements and Six Dynasties (AD220 - 589) burial objects were excavated at Pak Mong, Lantau, where the North Lantau Expressway is being built.
At Chek Lap Kok, several significant sites were identified and artifacts discovered. These include a rich Bronze Age deposit with five groups of buried offerings discovered at Kwo Lo Wan, Tang Dynasty (AD618 - 907) lime kilns, pottery and coins at Sham Wan Tsuen, and Middle Neolithic (4,000 - 2,500 BC) pottery at Fu Tei Wan.
With the help of the Airport Authority, a Yuan Dynasty (AD 1,271 - 1,368) kiln complex discovered at Ha Law Wan has been preserved as part of the conservation area at Chek Lap Kok.
The surveys conducted over the last five years have all yielded useful information which enable archaeologists to re-interpret the achievements of the early inhabitants of the region.

SINCE the discovery of the sweat electrolyte abnormality in cystic fibrosis of the pancreas the attention of investigators has been directed mainly toward concentrations of electrolytes in sweat. Despite the growing interest in the physiological mechanisms involved in determining the final composition of sweat, there has been little emphasis on nonelectrolyte penetration into the sweat gland apart from Schwartz's observation1 that sweat to plasma urea concentration ratios (which had been shown to be greater than 1) do not appear to change with elevations of the plasma urea concentration. (Throughout the remainder of this article the sweat to plasma concentration ratio will be expressed as s/p urea, s/p thiourea, etc.) Schwartz's study led him to conclude that the elevated s/p urea was a passive process dependent on the back diffusion of water.
In the sweat gland at least two mechanisms may be responsible for this postulated back diffusion of water.

LOS ANGELES Hopes of an imminent reunion of veteran American rock band Van Halen with original lead singer David Lee Roth were dashed on Wednesday when a Grammy nominations concert came and went without an expected announcement.
Grammy organizers had been promising for weeks that Wednesday's televised concert would feature "a special live announcement from a truly iconic group regarding their historic reunion set to take place on the Grammy stage on February 12 2012."
The official Grammy Twitter feed followed the announcement in early November with a message saying "Does this hint make u wanna 'Jump' and 'Dance the Night Away'?" -- the titles of two of Van Halen's biggest hits.
Recording Academy President Neil Portnow declined to confirm speculation that Van Halen was the band in question but told reporters on Wednesday that those concerned were not ready to go public.
"In the world of creativity, everything is fluid ... there was the expectation that the artist involved and we would be ready to announce, but the artist was not quite ready.
"We were genuine about the intention and discussion (but) the time frame has moved," he said.
Portnow said the California-based band, one of the biggest acts in rock'n roll in the 1970s and 1980s, "would have to address that (reunion question) themselves."
The Grammy tease had also sparked renewed speculation that Van Halen was about to release their first studio album of all new material since 1998, and the first with Roth on vocals for 27 years.
Van Halen formed in 1974 with Eddie Van Halen on lead guitar, his brother Alex on drums and Roth on vocals.
But the hard rock band was rife with drama and personal rivalries and changed its line-up several times over the years. Roth was replaced by Sammy Hagar in 1985 and went on to have a successful career as a solo artist, but he toured with Van Halen on their last major outing in 2007-2008.

Home Medical Monitoring Made Difficult?
March 12, 2001 -- We've all occasionally been stumped by instructions for some technical gadget, like a computer or a VCR. That's frustrating. But what if you're stumped by the instructions for a device you need to monitor your blood glucose because you're a diabetic. Well, that's dangerous, and common, according to a group of Georgia Institute of Technology researchers.
They write in a recent issue of Ergonomics in Design that inherent problems exist with both the instructions to some glucose monitors, and the monitors themselves, and that could be very harmful for someone suffering from the disease because patients must closely track their blood sugar level.
However, medical professionals specializing in treating some of the 16 million diabetics in the U.S. say the machines are so simple that even children can use them.
Regardless, a commonly used blood glucose meter that claimed to be as easy as 1-2-3 in fact required 52 sub-steps before getting to those three easy steps, according to the researchers. "A number of studies in the past have shown that people have trouble using the glucose monitors. We wanted to use human factors as a way to identify the problems and find solutions," Wendy Rogers, PhD, a Georgia Institute of Technology psychologist, tells WebMD.
Indeed, the small machines do play a crucial role in ensuring that diabetics get the proper amount of insulin, which controls blood sugar or glucose levels in their bodies. When glucose levels become too high, there can be irreparable damage to various organs in the body. Diabetes is a leading cause of heart attacks, hypertension, limb amputations, kidney failure, and stroke, and the No. 1 cause of blindness.
Rogers and her team had six people aged 20 to more than 70 try working a commonly used glucose monitor. In observing this practical test of the sugar-level meter, the researchers concluded that the device -- and both its written and video instructions -- was not sufficient to guarantee safe and accurate patient-conducted readings.
Rogers group, by analyzing the instructions with readability standards called the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level analysis, were able to determine that the user's manual for the monitor was written at an eighth-grade reading level. With this, the scientists say that about 58% of the American population would be able to understand the directions for the monitor, while only half would comprehend the instructions for the test strips (which actually determine the level of blood sugar). According to Rogers, this means that 23 million people 25 years old or older wouldn't understand these directions.

MAGAZINE NAMES INAUGURAL HOMESTEADERS OF THE YEAR Mother Earth News honors seven families who "Live the Good Life"
TOPEKA, Kan. (July 24, 2012) — Mother Earth News, the longest-running publication dedicated to sustainable lifestyles, names its first Homesteaders of the Year in conjunction with International Homesteading Education Month in September. The magazine profiles each family in its August-September issue, on newsstands July 31.
2012 Homesteaders of the Year:
2012 Runners-up:
"There is a modern homesteading movement developing as people seek more meaningful, eco-friendly and secure lifestyles. Our Homesteaders of the Year offer role models to inspire others, and Homesteading Education Month taps the power of the Internet to help neighbors learn from neighbors," explains Cheryl Long, editor in chief of Mother Earth News.
Mother Earth News sought Homesteaders of the Year nominations from its readers, online audience and through social media. Entries ranged from rural families living off-grid to urbanites raising chickens and gardening in the inner city. Each winner's profile illustrates a different way to live a satisfyingly simple, self-reliant lifestyle.
Winners take home a prize kit, including a selection of books from Storey Publishing and tickets to attend a Mother Earth News Fair. Winners and runners-up also receive a lifetime subscription to Mother Earth News.
The Homesteaders of the Year award kicks off the inaugural International Homesteading Education Month this September. Mother Earth News teamed up with Grit magazine to sponsor this celebration of modern homesteading. They have created an online hub where anyone can register tours, workshops, open houses or other events, and both titles will be promoting Homesteading Education Month throughout the summer. Everyone is welcome to participate — individuals, organizations and companies offering products for self-reliant living — both by signing up to host an event and by using the online listings to find nearby events to attend. Current and would-be homesteaders can also enter the Holy Cow! Homesteading Sweepstakes.
Mother Earth News is accepting nominations for the 2013 Homesteaders of the Year. Nominations with at least 500 words and three photos should be sent to email@example.com with the subject line "Homesteader of the Year."

Last year I wrote a piece called "a few thoughts about composer and how poeple use it". In that post I had a list of things which are problematic about how composer is used.
That post got widely recognized, linked an visited, but in general those issues still exist.
However lately I've had even more people asking questions (either on related forums, irc or even irl) about problems that stem from issue number 2: people are using composer as an installer (and sometimes Number 3 because of Number 2).
In that Post I already gave a quick opinion on how workflows with composer should look like, In this post i'll try to give a few more pointers on how to use composer without creating a mess.
I've seen create-project abused as an installer quite a few times, and it seems conveniant and simple to do that – as create-project + a hand full of scripts can easy do an initial install of a project. That is not what it is made for.
Now you might be wondering "why not? its only stupid if it doesn't work!" – the thing is that this solution is one that usually leads to the question "is there a way to have composer update the create-project stuff??" very shortly after. No there is not and there shouldn't be one.
So what is create-project for, if not to install your awesome web app on someones server? It is made so you can kickstart new projects by using skeletons that set up a basic project for you, usually adding all the things that might need updating at some point as dependencies, minus the code for your own project.
I wrote an a post on building project skeletons for binpress a few years ago, so if you are a framework builder, or if you have the need to build a custom project skeleton for you, your company, check it out.
I wrote an a post on building project skeletons for binpress a few years ago, so if you are a framework builder, or if you have the need to build a custom project skeleton for you, your company, check it out.
You might find ways to make create-project work for you as an installer besides the no-real-update-path (i've seen people build quite elaborate scripts, and only have files that overwrite files from dependencies in their project-package), but the truth is, you will have a lot of effort, with not too much gain.
I mentioned it in the toughts-about post: composer is not a tool to run on live machines, (despite that environment checking thing that might make you think it is), and in professional environments, where servers are configured and or behind a firewall, so they are not allowed to pull data from everywhere your install simply won't work.
(The same goes for shared hosting where users might not even have access to a command line).
Now this is no starter-tutorial for composer, so I won't go into how semver restrictions should look (rule of thumb: as tight as necessary, as lose as possible).
What I'd like to get of my chest here is: dear php devs, start thinking about what you add as composer dependencies. Your common day to day tools (like phpcs, phpunit and so on are no dependencies of your project. If you really really must (that is if you have a good reason)) add them as a dev-depepency (require-dev), but
even that in a lot of cases doesn't make sense (and this is a sin I've comitted too). Believe me when I say there is no joy when you end up having version constraint conflicts because several of your dependencies insist on installing phpunit in different versions.
Another rule of thumb: the only thing that you should require is dependencies that are necessary to be there when you will run the app in the live environment – things that are only necessary on your dev environment (mockups, debugbars etc) belong in your require-dev, tools that you use over multiple projects (such as phpunit) should be
installed on your dev (and ci) environment globally, not with the project.
You might not know this, but composer allows you to install packages globally. STOP don't get excited about this, whatever it is you are planing to use this for, if its not a composer plugin you are most likely wrong.
Take for example Laravel: Its tutorial tells you to do composer global require laravel/installer which will install 8(!) packages, including such commonly used ones as symfony/process or guzzlehttp/psr7. Why is this a bad thing? Well, in my stack I have quite a few tools, and many of them use quite common packages, which would
lead to regular occurences of having to use old tools because one tool is blocking
composer global require laravel/installer
Truncated by Planet PHP, read more at the original (another 7570 bytes)
I've just open the remi-php71 repository for Fedora ≥ 23 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 6.
Current version is PHP 7.1.0beta1 with about 75 extensions which are already compatible.
This repository provides developement versions which are not suitable for production usage.
The repository configuration is provided by the latest version of the remi-release package:
As for other remi's repositories, it is disabled by default, so the update is an administrator choice.
E.g. to update the PHP system version:
yum --enablerepo=remi update remi-release
yum --enablerepo=remi-php71 update php\*

Skip to comments.San Francisco City offered option to bid for WWII battleship Iowa
Posted on 12/17/2005 3:02:51 PM PST by walkerk
Pressure increased on San Francisco officials Friday to decide whether they want the World War II battleship Iowa after two key federal lawmakers agreed to let any California community bid for the vessel.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, who had been offering dueling proposals on the Iowa's future, agreed that the ship should be transferred to California for permanent donation status and that any city in the state could bid for it.
Pombo's proposal would have directed the Navy to give the 63-year-old Iowa, now moored in Suisun Bay, to the Port of Stockton. Feinstein proposed opening it up for bid.
The language will be included in the defense authorization conference report that Congress is expected to pass in the next few days. If it does, Feinstein aide Howard Gantman said, the Navy could decide on the winning bid within a year.
But San Francisco's Iowa supporters are hoping to reintroduce what they call a "brand new" resolution to the board in mid-January. It would include a proposal to hold an annual "peace conference" on the battleship. Supporters are meeting with supervisors about their new plan.
Friday's agreement between Feinstein and Pombo "absolutely turns up the heat for San Francisco to decide whether it wants this," said Jim Maloney, executive director of the Military Education Initiative. The organization, which seeks veterans' support for gays and lesbians in the military, is working with the Historic Ship Memorial group to bring the Iowa to San Francisco.
It wants to open a museum on the Iowa focusing on the contributions of gays, lesbians, ethnic minorities and women to the military.

...if its guns were still active, it could pound the place in the manner that it deserves!
This just in: Denver, Colorado has placed a high bid.
"It wants to open a museum on the Iowa focusing on the contributions of gays, lesbians, ethnic minorities and women to the military."
Only in Sfran...why are they excluding everyone else? were gays, lesbians, ethnic minorties and women the only ones that served on her?
And the band plays on...
You should come up with an offer.
I propose a special FreeRepublic Fund Drive to finance the bid.
The Army Corp of Engineers will have to figure a way to move the ship inland to Fresno of course.
The Iowa should empty its magazines on San Francisco.
"It would include a proposal to hold an annual "peace conference" on the battleship."
LOL. SF is F'd.
Seems fitting for a ship with an accident allegedly related to a gay love triangle.
They are going to turn it into a Gerbil museum.
Totally false story. Take it from someone who knows, my dear friend died that horrid day April 21, 1989.
I find it insulting what SF is proposing. Bring the ship somewhere it will be appriciated. I say near the Intrepid and fitting since my friend was a New Yorker.
"It wants to open a museum on the Iowa focusing on the contributions of gays, lesbians, ethnic minorities and women to the military."
Makes me retch! Think about it. We are AMERICANS. Not lesbian-Americans, not gay-Americans, not ethnic minority-Americans. It says on every greenback "The United States of America." This divisivness weakens the fabric of our society. End of rant.
I'd rather see her scrapped than given to san fransicko.
Excuse me, it was April 19, 1989. My dear friend would have been 21 on April 21. 1989. I often confuse the 2 sad days.
No problem. Just put wheels under her keel, and we'll tow it up hiway 5 behind the mighty FReepmobile:
If its loaded with dynamite.
with respect to the SFO proposal to convert the USS IOWA into a floating homosexual pleasure palace and peace is keen feel good memorial---
"..these proceedings are closed."
I laughed so loud, my wife thought I was having a cardiac arrest!
BTW, both of our children are living in the San Fransicko Gay area. We're trying to get them to come back home to NC. I hate San Fran, and since we will be visiting the kids over Christmas time, I will be searching for a blindfold so that I won't have to watch guys holding hands and licking each other's earings.
BTW, both our kids are homophobes and that said, I have not a clue why they'd want to live in CA; capital state of queers, fruits, nuts and crime. Except they like the weather (and earthquakes?).
Then again, that is just my stereotyping of a state with which I am not an expert.
They want to turn it in to a floating gay bath-house with "In The Navy" playing on the loud speakers.
I agree. I'd rather see the old girl "cut up for razor blades" than subjected to the future SF is planning for her.
Hey Bud!. We lived near Breckenridge in South Mountain Park for years. Elevation only 10,200 feet. I'd move the ship near the Trail Ridge Parkway up in Estes Park, 13,100 ft. Much better view of the Western slope.
And as an added bonus, for the tourists, Iowa-Class mountain slides to the bottom. LOL
Series, we did live in CO for almost 10 years, and did own many properties in CO.
I think a much better memorial for SF would be to secure a decommisioned Soviet fishing trawler. As a symbol of 'inclusion' nobody could be better than the commies at enslavement under a common flag. Further, the ship would stink like fish so the GBLT community would be sure to feel right at home and it would be loaded with electronic surveilance gear so that the sedition and espionage community would also feel at home and their productivity could be enhanced. Such a win-win deal would allow the commies to unload some of their problematic toxic materials and we could put it to use where it could do the most good.
The USS Enterprise is docked in my beloved Corpus Christi Texas. I would LOVE to see her escorted by the Iowa. We have the room. A Flat Top deserves a proper escort.
Well, that's some of what I love. Keep your radio tuned into AM-640, don't watch TV news, don't venture into the Castro district, and I think you'll have a very Merry Christmas here in the Bay Area!
Actually, I meant "AM-560", not "AM-640"..... Rush is on 560....
The USS Iowa may end up painted in a soft pastel pink in order to appease the homosexual community.
It should be in NYC.
Sorry about the loss of your friend. Best wishes.
We're off to San Fran this coming Wednesday for a week for Christmas.
Better the Iowa be scuttled far at sea rather than turned over to the degenerates that run SF.
Yes. Next to the carrier in Mid-Town? That would be awesome!
Any reason why the Iowa was chosen over the New Jersey? They both had 16" guns.
Regardless, I'd have these great warships lined up. We lived near West Point on the Hudson River. There was an armada, right after WWI that steamed up the Hudson. My Dad, who was a Naval Officer in the South Pacific saw the armada. He talked about it all the time. Then again he was a Commander, and loved our Navy ships.
The problem with California is the Californians.
Negative. Put it down in Mobile, next the USS Alabama BB-60. That fine ship needs to stay in a red state, where it will be appreciated.
The Intrepid is one of the most popular museums in NYC. The planes on deck, including an A-12 Blackbird, is the highlight.
Nah...AM-580 KMJ. 50,000 watts coming in from Yuba City to over the Grapevine.
How about bringing the Iowa to the state it was named for. Is it possible to bring a ship of that size up the Mississippi River as far as Davenport, Keokuk or Burlington?
Thank you for the update. I lost track of The New Jersey. She was in moth balls for years after WWII. I thought she was revived for active duty service a while (15 years) ago.
If it were physically feasable, I think it is a terrific idea. It seems fitting to me. If I were and Iowan, I'd be pleased as punch to tour The Iowa.
My first thought, exactly.
One of my favorte recent series of books is John Ringo's Aldenata stories, starting with "A Hymn Before Battle" (avaiable as a free ebook from the Baen Free Library). In the second book, "Gust Front," he has a scene with a reactivated USS Missouri firing a ranging round. The local unit that called in the strike doesn't know who they've called for fire and they're surprised when they are told "danger close." They respond "we're 400 meters away" and the call "danger close" is repeated. Then they see the shell beginning to fall from the sky.
lovely scene. The young lieutenant calling fire was dutifully impressed.
What exactly is going to be put in this museum on the Iowa?
Let's bring her home to new York, where she was BUILT (at the Brooklyn Navy Yard), and once stationed (Naval Station Staten Island).
She'd make a great addition to the Intrepid museum.
Alameda would be cool, park it next to the USS Hornet!
I'm a born/raised Californian, and I am damn proud of it, but when the logging trails from 100 years ago are now closed to even mountain bikes, it is definitely time to leave.
Hence, Nevada here we come! I won't have to rent, I can open-carry firearms, I can ride my dirtbikes where and when I want...
the list is endless.
Don't know what her draft is, but she wouldn't fit through the locks between St. Louis and Iowa anyway.

Hi, I just added Recent Comments to my right sidebar. I have Recent Posts in my left side bar. But now, Recent Comments shows up again in the left bar under Recent Posts - duplicating the comments.
I know that wp_meta makes the call, but how can I use both plugins - but only one one each sidebar?
