History comes alive before your eyes.
King Henry VIII's reign marked the pinnacle of royal power in Great Britain. Like no other British ruler in history before or since, his will was law. At his whim, for example, England split from the Catholic Church, Wales was annexed, and half a dozen wives fell by the wayside.
He was a true Renaissance Man, yet no less brutal for his interests in poetry, music, sports, geography and art. Henry ruled by fear, executing his opponents and several of his wives. He ordered the destruction of beautiful buildings, libraries and works of art.
Despite his destructive bent, though, Henry also built many magnificent palaces like Hampton Court and transformed Westminster Abbey from a modest church into the epicenter of the Protestant religion. In this fascinating episode of LOST WORLDS, walk the halls and grounds of his greatest achievements. Discover, through the buildings he cared so much for, the real man behind the mythic figure of Henry VIII.
You wouldn't want to marry him, but you will want to explore HENRY VIII'S MEGA STRUCTURES.

Le Corbusier
Born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) traveled widely and met many early modern architects. He sought to reconcile his deeply felt responses to their work with the historical works he studied in his travels, particularly Greek temples.
In the 1920s, Le Corbusier found a vocabulary for domestic architecture that resulted in one of the great works of modern architecture, the Villa Savoye in Poissy, France (1928-30). Standing alone in a field, the pristine white house is supported on pilotis, slender concrete columns that carry the load of the floors and free the interior to be developed into flowing horizontal and vertical spaces.
He produced work of astonishing diversity, including the Unite d'Habitation (1946-52), an apartment building in Marseilles, France; the pilgrimage church of Notre-Dame-du-Haut (1950-55) in Ronchamp, France; and the principal public buildings for the capital of Punjab in Chandigarh (1951-65), India.
In a seminal book, "Towards a New Architecture" (1923), he delivered his notorious dictum, "The house is a machine for living in," but his houses were elegant, with hints of classicism, and far from machinelike. -- adapted from "The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge"

First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

poorman's ifstat using just sh and awk. You must change "eth0" with your interface's name.
when you can do it , avoid pipe
I find it useful when I want to add another crontab entry and I need to specify the appropriate PATH.
I give ''whichpath'' a list of programs that I use inside my script and it gives me the PATH I need to use for this script.
''whichpath'' uses associative array, therefore you should have Bash v4 in order to run it.
See sample output.
WIDTHL=10 and WIDTHR=60 are setting the widths of the left and the right column/bar. BAR="12345678" etc. is used to create a 80 char long string of "="s. I didn't know any shorter way.
If you want to pipe results into it, wrap the whole thing in ( ... )
I know that printing bar graphs can be done rather easily by other means. Here, I was looking for a Bash only variant.
Check the API. You shouldn't need sed. The print-newline at the end is to prevent zsh from inserting a % after the end-of-output.
Also works with http://v.gd
Calc the rough time from Twitter. Now with leading Zeroes.
usage: mem memcache-command [arguments]

exptime argument is set to 0 (no expire)
flags argument is set to 1 (arbitrary)

Among other things, this allows the sorting of comment descriptions and command lines retrieved as text from CommandLineFu.com.
rename file name with fixed length nomeric format pattern
Replace service --status-all 2>&1 by service --status-all 2>/dev/null to hide all services with the status [ ? ]
Watch the temperatures of your CPU cores in real time at the command line. Press CONTROL+C to end.
GORY DETAILS: Your computer needs to support sensors (many laptops, for example, do not). You'll need to install the lm-sensors package if it isn't already installed. And it helps to run the `sensors-detect` command to set up your sensor kernel modules first. At the very end of the sensors-detect interactive shell prompt, answer YES to add the new lines to the list of kernel modules loaded at boot.
This command will delete all branches in your git repository other than next and master. I use this to cleanup my git repos after making multiple branches and merging them back into next. It's much faster than individually deleting each expired branch using:
git branch -D <branch_name>
this leaves the cursor at the bottom of the terminal screen, where your eyes are.
ctrl-l moves it to the top, forcing you to look up.
A shorter version
The first argument is the interpreter for your script, the second argument is the name of the script to create.
The exported TSV file of Google Adwords' first five columns are text, they usually should collapse into one cell, a multi-line text cell, but there is no guaranteed way to represent line-break within cells for .tsv file format, thus Google split it to 5 columns.
The problem is, with 5 columns of text, there are hardly space to put additional fields while maintain printable output.

In the late fifties, a young Nebraskan named Charles Starkweather, obsessed with James Dean, took the rebellious image of his hero to a psychopathic extreme. Along with his teenage girlfriend, Carol Ann Fugate who claimed that she "just went along for the ride" Starkweather killed 10 innocent people on a terrifying murder spree.
AMERICAN JUSTICE® examines every detail of this famous case, from the investigation and capture to the trial and execution of Starkweather and Fugate's imprisonment. It is a story that yields insight into the nature of violence in America, and is also a textbook case of a spree killer, whose motives are often obscure. In Starkweather's case, he seemed to be after fame, once boasting that his crimes would be remembered. And they were, for his odyssey forms the basis for the 1974 film Badlands, starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek.
Here, many of those involved, including Nebraska State Troopers, police detectives and newsmen who covered the story, offer their opinions on one of the most infamous cases to ever come out of America's Heartland.

MODERN MARVELS traces the evolution of the deadliest weapons ever made.
They are the only weapons that can literally wipe humanity off the face of the earth. The most powerful and feared ingredient in any nation's arsenal, they remain, in many ways, the simplest weapons of all drop them on something and they explode.
The very first bombs were flaming carcasses flung over castle walls. The advent of gunpowder opened the door for real bombs, with tightly packed explosive charges set off by a fuse. Since then, the development of these weapons has relentlessly continued, and today's most powerful Hydrogen bombs can literally destroy entire cities, while high-tech smart bombs can deliver their destructive payloads with extraordinary precision.
From the days of Greek Fire to the labs where the future of weaponry is being shaped, MODERN MARVELSTM traces the development of bombs, profiling the men whose innovations changed the way we fight wars and offering an up-close look at the deadliest weapons ever made.

Partnership is at the heart of everything UNDP does. We offer a nearly universal presence. Our substantial expertise—both intellectual acumen and practical experience—cuts across diverse development issues and settings. These valuable assets combined with our long legacy of trust have made us a global partner of choice.
Key Contributors
At approximately $5 billion annually, donor and programme country contributions to UNDP represent one-quarter of all contributions to the United Nations development system.
United Nations System
Integrated development assistance helps connect countries to all the different kinds of expertise they need to tackle complex challenges.
Towards that end, UNDP manages and primarily finances the Resident Coordinator system, which encourages collaboration by country teams of UN organizations, and helps increase efficiency and effectiveness.
We also lead the UN Development Group, which provides guidance and coordination on the global level. UNDP's own broad mandate is both the foundation for a strong UN development system, and integral to our ability to link issues and foster collaboration.
International Financial Institutions
International Financial Institutions (IFIs) are an important source of development funding. They account for a large portion of the non-core (earmarked, project-specific) funding of UNDP. UNDP has entered into formal agreements with some IFIs (the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank), and is working on additional agreements.
Private Sector
The private sector can make an important contribution to development by fostering innovation, providing funding and promoting entrepreneurship in developing countries. In many of our programme countries the preconditions for private sector development and the emergence of inclusive markets (i.e. markets that extend choice and opportunity to the poor as producers, consumers and wage earners) are not yet in place. To facilitate inclusive market development, UNDP focuses on connecting and integrating local producers with domestic and global markets. This work is supported by the Growing Inclusive Markets (GIM) and Business Call to Action (BCtA) initiatives.
Both global and local foundations are providing strong backing for UNDP's development activities. UNDP recognizes the tremendous knowledge that foundations offer in a variety of areas ranging from governance, environment to health and financial inclusion and works with them to utilize their expertise and knowledge capacities. UNDP works in partnership with community foundations and civil society organizations at the community level in efforts to better address issues at the local level.
Civil Society Organizations
For UNDP, civil society constitutes the full range of formal and informal organizations that are outside the state and market. This includes social movements, volunteer organizations, indigenous peoples' organizations, mass-based membership organizations, non-governmental organizations, and community-based organizations, as well as communities and citizens acting individually and collectively.
UNDP partners with civil society organizations in programme implementation and policy advocacy. At the country level, this often means working with them to provide basic services in the areas of health, education, water delivery, agricultural extension and micro-credit provision.

Sweetgum has become a prized shade tree in parks, campuses and around residences with space for large trees.
Deep, glossy green star-shaped leaves mark the Sweetgum. Leaves turn yellow-purple-red in the fall, and stay on the tree quite late. Its shape is pyramidal, becoming more rounded with age. Avoid polluted sites. Grows 60'-70', with a 45' spread. (Zones 5-9)
Wildlife Value
American sweetgum seeds are eaten by eastern goldfinches, purple finches, sparrows, mourning doves, northern bobwhites, and wild turkeys. Small mammals such as chipmunks, red squirrels and gray squirrels also enjoy the fruits and seeds.
The Sweetgum tree is native to the southeastern United States and a member of a genus made up of only six species. The others are found only in Asia. The first historical reference to the tree comes from the author and soldier, Don Bernal Diaz del Castillo, who accompanied Cortez in 1519 and was a witness to ceremonies between Cortez and Montezuma, who both partook of a liquid amber extracted from a Sweetgum tree. The tree itself was fist noticed and recorded by the historian Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca in 1542. Once commercially popular for soaps, adhesives and pharmaceuticals, today its wood is valuable for fine furniture and interior finishing.
Requires moist soil conditions, moderate drought tolerance.
The leaves are distinctively star-shaped with five points or lobes, and occasionally seven. They have toothed margins, grow alternately along the twig, and are borne on long petioles. They are medium green in summer and orange, purple, red or yellow in autumn.
Flower Color
Yellow-green in color, not distinctive.
Bloom Time
Late April-May.
Fruit Description
The fruit is long-stemmed, woody and bur-like; approximately 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Local renowned poet Wendy Videlock's eyes were moist when the room full of third graders stood up and together recited Videlock's poem, "Hawk." It was a surprise for Videlock who was attending the Writers in the Schools celebration Jan. 25 at Mesa View Elementary School where students, parents, teachers and writers-in-residence had gathered to hear the students' published works.
Colorado's Writers in the Schools (WITS) is a residency program founded by Colorado Humanities and Center for the Book, where professional poets, playwrights and fiction writers teach writing workshops in the schools.
The multi-week program culminates with a published anthology and public reading of student work. That's what was taking place Friday at Mesa View, when writer-in-residence Patrick Metoyer asked his students to recite the poem "Hawk" they'd memorized weeks earlier.
In 2011, Colorado Humanities and Center for the Book began partnering with the Grand Junction-based Western Colorado Writers Forum to bring the Writers in the Schools program to the Western Slope for the first time. The program started in Denver about four years ago.
Local writers Jill Burkey and Sandy Dorr, director of Western Colorado Writers Forum, attended the Colorado Humanities-WITS training in 2011, and became writers-in-residence that year at Pomona and Scenic elementary schools.
The program was held at three Western Slope schools in fall 2012 - Mesa View and Tope Elementary in Grand Junction and Bea Underwood Elementary in Parachute. Celebrations of the students' work were held at each of the schools this week and last.
Burkey and Patrick Metoyer were the writers-in-residence this past fall.
Eight-year old Ian Prichard who said he enjoys writing, described his work to a visitor before reading the actual poem to an appreciative crowd at the Mesa View celebration.
"I wanted to write something about Thanksgiving," Ian said. "I remember the rolls were so good, butter was dripping down all over me and I had to lick it off. It was bouncing around in my stomach."
The poem was a hit!
Burkey has taught the WITS program at each of the Grand Junction schools.
"Most kids get really excited about it - it's something different," Burkey said. "We try and make it fun, get them inspired, interested in writing. We help them find their voice."
Metoyer said he typically started by introducing a poem that the students would recite, then talk about. The students wrote a poem together, followed by 5-20 minutes of individual writing time. The last 15 minutes were spent sharing a favorite line, or word from the poem, he said.
"They chose what they wanted in the anthology," Metoyer said. "I helped a little. The students did most of the revision, editing."
The anthology published at the culmination of the program includes one piece of writing from each of the students.
"Seeing their work in printed anthologies that look like other books on the shelf helps students realize that great writing is created by people very much like themselves," according to Colorado Humanities and Center for the Book.
Writers in the Schools is funded primarily by the National Endowment for the Arts, Colorado Creative Industries and National Endowment for the Humanities. Participating schools also contribute, said program coordinator Tim Fernandez.
Since WITS started in Denver about four years ago, the program has expanded to Pueblo, Greeley, the eastern plains, and now the Western Slope. The program is available for grades K through 12, and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

As one of the two candidates for the title this weekend, Yamaha Factory Racing's Jorge Lorenzo said the pressure was on Friday's fastest rider and championship leader Marc Marquez after free practice.
The World Champion was third fastest overall on day one, with only a 0.158s gap to pace man and title rival Marquez, and with Dani Pedrosa sandwiched between them.
Although Lorenzo feels the pressure is on Marquez rather than himself this weekend, he will be trying everything he can to beat his compatriot in Valencia and he knows that he must improve his pace in order to do so.Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez, MotoGP, Valencia GP

On the day after Thanksgiving, Foot Locker Inc. plans to roll out its most expensive shoes—at full price. Crocs Inc. will be doing the opposite, embracing margin-sapping price cuts, after learning a harsh lesson when it tried to stand up against discounts.
From matching rivals' prices to avoiding Black Friday discounting altogether, retailers are testing out a host of strategies this holiday season as they try to energize sales and profits during their most critical time of the year. But will they work? Dana Mattioli has details on Lunch Break. Photo: AP.
Avoid Black Friday fights at Wal-Mart! WSJ Off Duty cranks up the holiday shopping with 10 hot Cyber Monday food deals you can score from the safety of your couch. Plus, a look at gifts for the super rich - from luxury cars to high-end speakers.
Are you gearing up for a Black Friday shopping experience? MarketWatch's Kelli Grant has the key information that stores and retailers won't tell you about the busiest shopping day of the season. AP Photo.

Target Corp. , meanwhile, will lean on exclusive merchandise to thwart price-comparisons, while Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is offering special discounts not just at its brick-and-mortar locations but simultaneously on its website.
It's Black Friday, a moment of truth for retailers' holiday strategizing.
All are hoping to avoid misfires during a crucial selling season. Last year the two-month period between Thanksgiving and New Year's accounted for nearly a quarter of annual sales for department stores, discounters and other chains, according to the National Retail Federation.
Anxious to preserve their sales in a hyper-competitive market, retailers are taking some chances. They face a host of pressures, including changing shopping habits due to technology and an uncertain economic climate, complicated by Washington's decision-making gridlock and possible new tax increases.
The International Council of Shopping Centers estimates that sales at malls and shopping centers will rise just 2.5% this holiday season, compared with 4.1% last year.
Below, a look at some of the maneuvers at five retailers as they gird for the holiday frenzy:
Foot Locker, which caters to die-hard aficionados known as "sneakerheads," likes to time its big shoe releases to Black Friday and regularly draws long lines of shoppers willing to pay $200 or $300 for new sneakers.
"People are willing to pay to get the right shoe," Chief Executive Ken Hicks said.
The chain used to be more promotional on Black Friday, cutting prices on items like hoodies, T-shirts and some athletic shoes. But it moved away from the approach last year—and found that items sold at full price rose from 60% of the total to more that 80%, Mr. Hicks said.
This year, Foot Locker is launching a Nike Jordan Retro IV "Bred" shoe this Friday, and is timing other big releases for Saturday, Sunday and Monday to keep sales volumes through the important weekend.
While Foot Locker's strategy has worked for them so far, forgoing sales could be a risky bet for retailers that can't count on the same level of demand. J.C. Penney Co. , for instance, has had a tough time swearing off constant sales and switching to "everyday low prices."
"It depends on the product, and even more than that it depends on the consumer," said Clementine Martin Illanes, retail strategist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon Associates.
Target tried to stay out of the discounting scrum last holiday—and missed its holiday sales forecast for a 4% increase in sales at stores open at least a year.
This year it is going on the offensive with a price-match guarantee that includes countering deals from Amazon.com Inc. and the websites of Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Toys "R" Us. It predicts the offer will affect less than 10% of transactions and have no impact on fourth quarter results.
"Target will take market share this year," Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel said last week.
But Target is aware that the best way to avoid matching prices is to offer stuff no one else has, which is why it teamed up with luxury stalwart Neiman Marcus Group Inc. to carry a gift collection created by 24 fashion designers.
The items, which range from $500 Alice + Olivia bikes to $7 stationery from the avant-garde design duo Rodarte, will be available on Dec. 1, an attempt to spark extra store traffic between the Black Friday and Christmas week rush.
"The Target-Neiman Marcus mashup is going to bring excitement to Target," predicts Deborah Weinswig, retail analyst at Citigroup. "Everyone wants something new this year, but doesn't want to spend a fortune."
Does it make sense to shop on Black Friday? Is it worth spending one's day off going toe-to-toe with hordes of desperate deal-seekers? As Quentin Fottrell explains on Lunch Break, it depends on what you're shopping for.
Wal-Mart hopes to use the holidays to lure more people to Walmart.com, but it has to balance that goal with maintaining visits to its stores.
For the first time, Wal-Mart is offering its most coveted in-store Black Friday discounts to online shoppers at the same time—provided customers first sign up for special emails, download its mobile app or "like" the company on Facebook.
But Wal-Mart is also offering Black Friday deals at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, two hours earlier than last year, and plans to spread out specials throughout the weekend in hopes of keeping shoppers in stores, where they are more likely to make impulse purchases.
"We want to add more value to people who get connected to Walmart.com but we're not only focused online," said Walmart.com CEO Joel Anderson. "Stores are Wal-Mart's biggest asset."
Wal-Mart increased its inventory in the third quarter by 4.3% from the year before on things like tablets and toys. It started its layaway program a month earlier this year, and reduced fees from $15 to $5. So far, it said the program has generated $300 million more than last year, with two-thirds being spent on electronics like gaming consoles.
It is going to need the boost, especially online: Traffic to Walmart.com declined 10% in October from the year before, according to comScore Inc.
Walmart.com said it forecasts 600 million visits to the site from November to January, or a 13% increase during the holiday season from a year before.
Amazon rankled store chains with its Price Check app last year, which encouraged users to buy merchandise from the Internet retailer while shopping in rivals' stores. It is again experimenting with new ways to lure customers from brick-and-mortar retailers.
On Black Friday, Nov. 25, 2011, a crowd of shoppers waited outside a Target store in Lisbon, Conn. Associated Press
This month Amazon offered consumers the chance to sign up for a monthly subscription to its Amazon Prime service, which includes free two-day shipping on thousands of items, as well as free movie and TV-show streaming. Normally, Prime requires an annual membership fee of $79.
The Web retailer already has put a lid on the trial, and hasn't disclosed the number of people it allowed to sign up. But if Amazon is satisfied with the experiment—and if it doesn't cut too much into the full-year memberships—such a program could ratchet up the pressure on rivals. While many retailers offer free or discount shipping, Amazon's enormous selection combined with timely bargain shipping could prove a strong magnet.
"You may pull in customers who sign up once, ship what they need and don't sign up again," said Sucharita Mulpuru, an analyst with Forrester Research. "But that's not such a bad thing, because these are probably people who would have shopped elsewhere."
Indeed, analysts believe Amazon Prime lures customers to buy more than they would have otherwise to get the value of their subscription, and helps create what Ms. Mulpuru calls an "Amazon habit."
Crocs found the Black Friday habit can be hard to kick.
Two years ago, the maker of indestructible plastic clogs and other shoes decided it was through with the margin-killing deep discounts.
"We said we can't continue to operate this business in the fourth quarter with 40% margins, and we need to take a stand and be patient," Chief Executive John McCarvel said. Plus, he said, Crocs had rolled out new products that he thought would sell without price cuts.
They didn't. When customers found out most products were still full price, they left. Traffic and sales dropped off a cliff, and the impact lingered.
Crocs got back in the game last year. This year, it is offering deals such as buy one, get one half off. Across the store, items are sold at prices a fifth below where they would sell on a normal day, Mr. McCarvel said.
Sales are back, but Crocs is paying a price on the bottom line. The company just breaks even during the fourth quarter because of all the discounting. In the last quarter of 2011, operating margin was a thin 3%, compared with margins of 22% and 14% in the second and third quarters, respectively.
"We felt like we had no choice but to return to Black Friday," Mr. McCarvel said.
