Embassies targeted by Athens parcel bombs
Merkel receives package with gunpowder
Parcel bombs exploded at the Russian and Swiss embassies in Athens yesterday and devices sent to three others were intercepted, the latest in a wave of attacks linked to left-wing extremists.
The packages were similar to four devices sent to embassies in the Greek capital and intercepted on Monday, including one addressed to French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Controlled explosions were carried out by police on suspect packages addressed to the German, Chilean and Bulgarian embassies.
Meanwhile, a package intercepted at Chancellor Angela Merkel's offices yesterday contained explosives and was linked to the mail bombing campaign in Greece, Germany's Interior Minister said.
Thomas de Maiziere told reporters that the parcel had been mailed from Greece two days ago and that the explosive device was built in the same way as the bomb that exploded at the Swiss embassy in Athens earlier yesterday.
"The situation in the chancellery today was linked to this," he said, referring to Mrs Merkel's sprawling complex of offices in central Berlin.
"We are in very close contact with the Greek authorities. But there was no advance warning from Greece," he said, adding that the device "could have caused not insignificant damage".
Mrs Merkel was out of the country at the time, in Belgium on an official visit.
During the Greek credit crisis in April, Mrs Merkel pushed hard for Athens to adopt major austerity measures before any bailout would be agreed. The subsequent budget cuts have proved deeply unpopular in Greece.
Mr De Maiziere said security at all government mail rooms had been bolstered in light of the attempted explosive attack and ordered them to exercise particular caution with mail from Greece.
The package arrived at the chancellery addressed to Mrs Merkel at about 1200 GMT.
Officers from Germany's Federal Crime Office (BKA) inspected the parcel, which arrived at the mail room in her chancellery complex, after staff reported a suspect shipment.
"The investigation shows that the content could have at least wounded people," Mrs Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters.
Mr Seibert said that police had taken measures so the package would not explode or catch fire but declined to provide further details.
"She wishes to thank the security forces, who acted very prudently," he said.
Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel said the package contained gunpowder with the return address given as the Greek Economy Ministry. It was delivered by mail delivery firm UPS.
It said police had fired water cannon at the parcel to prevent an explosion.

I was never in the "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." crowd when the iPod was introduced in 2001 -- in fact, I even bought the original 5 GB model (admittedly, that was in summer of 2002, after larger models had been introduced and prices had come down). But in this iPhone-y age, I have a hard time getting worked up about the prospect of new iPods, which, apparently are what we're going to get in a special Apple event on Wednesday. iPods! Whee! WHEE!
It's not that I have anything against the humble iPod; it's just that, well, they're kind of old news at this point. They also, in a world where most of us walk around with a cell phone of some sort, are responsible for device clutter, towards which I have a serious antipathy. It's true that my 60 GB iPod holds every song in my iTunes library and every picture in my iPhoto collection, with room to spare for videos; but unless I'm taking a 20-hour flight to Hong Kong and desperately need that much entertainment, the 8 GB in my iPhone will do me fine at the moment, thanks very much.
Anyway, for those of us who hunger for new stuff, the coming iPhone event might be of historical interest in the sense that it could mark the end of the hard drive-based iPod, with the iPhone platform, as represented by the iPod Touch, being the basis of new developments. There might be iPod Touches with cameras -- another kind of interesting but ultimately incremental development -- unless, of course, they still haven't worked out the hardware bugs. There's talk that the long-awaited Beatles-on-iTunes announcement might be forthcoming -- but with the event being named after a Rolling Stones song, that seems unlikely to anyone with any sense of musical history. Integration of iTunes with social networking sites might also be on tap, which could be interesting but which could just be another LOOK AT US WE UNDERSTAND THE FACEBOOK play from a big company that doesn't actually understand the Facebook.
This all makes the final rumor -- that Steve Jobs, back from his extended health leave, will be presiding over the event. It would be great to see him again, and obviously he doesn't schedule his health problems to correspond with Apple's product cycle, but wouldn't his reappearance at such an ultimately minor event be kind of anticlimactic? I'd wait for the tablet, if I were him.

Start-Ups, Vermont-Style
Not all business start-ups incubate in the family garage. Gardens, kitchens, and J-term classes have inspired two recent Middlebury graduates and one student to explore the business side of improving local eating options and farmers' bottom lines. Not surprising in this state, they often cross paths. Annie Rowell '11 is the Farm-to-Institution Program Associate at the two-year-old Vermont Food Venture Center in Hardwick. While helping farmers process their fruits and vegetables, she sometimes teams up with David Dolginow '09, who manages a new frozen vegetable line by Sunrise Orchards in Cornwall. And Suzanne Calhoun '14 found Sunrise apples gave the perfect twist to several of her condiments, Suzanne's Sweet Savories, which she cooks up at the Venture Center.
Annie Rowell '11 was an internationally focused political science major—she speaks French and studied Arabic—when she realized the pull of her family's Vermont farming heritage. While taking a closer look at the politics of food in her native Craftsbury, Rowell found a path into the food business. Associate Professor Bert Johnson, a specialist in local and state politics, helped her develop a senior thesis that held the lens of policy and economic change theories to Craftsbury's proposed adoption of more locally sourced school lunches. "It was a really great experience studying my own community as an observer," she recalls. A subsequent internship with the Center for an Agricultural Economy in Hardwick synched with the inauguration of its Food Venture Center and led to her current job. She still has a hand in the politics of food, especially through the state's Farm to Plate strategic; but she also enjoys the physicality of production and "geeks out" over broccoli floret machines and vegetable wash conveyers that add muscle to the VFVC's rentable commercial kitchens. "Our first year, we processed 1,700 pounds of bulk broccoli in a little under a day and a half; this year, we did 2,200 pounds in one day," she recalls, scanning the data sheets she keeps in her office down the hall from the kitchen.
The VFVC offers professional equipment, food safety certification, and business know-how to entrepreneurs; Rowell also focuses on connecting farmers to schools, hospitals, and other institutions interested in serving what Vermonters grow. "This has been a huge production and data-gathering year," she says. "It's exciting what this means for Vermont's future. For example, we know broccoli can grow well, and our equipment can process it well, and we have all this data to figure out institutional demand and how we can fill it." Greater demand for local vegetables can mean more growing options for farmers. Rowell feels fortunate in her work, and not only because of the great aromas that waft into her office ("Yesterday was maple nuts—yum!"). "I can't imagine having as much ownership elsewhere in what could be seen as an entry level position—doing the projections, managing relationships, and leading productions."
As a student, David Dolginow '09 was building environmental policy chops—working with the Sunday Night Group, taking a J-term class that crafted recommendations for Middlebury's climate neutrality; he even took time off and worked at a Democratic lobby shop in Washington, D.C. The religion and geography major was co-teaching a J-term class on "Food and Justice in Vermont," touring farms and hosting farmers to discuss their work, when he and one of those farmers, Barney Hodges '91, started talking about the future of frozen vegetables. Hodges, the second-generation owner of Sunrise Orchards in Cornwall, wanted to diversify his orchard business using their added asset of a refrigerated warehouse in Shoreham. Two years later, thanks to a USDA grant, Sunrise and Dolginow are doing just that. Sitting at the orchard's farmhouse dining table, Dolginow notes their progress: "Our vegetable operation is still small compared with apples,"—a yearly average of 5.5 million pounds of apples and 50,000 pounds of vegetables—"but that's double last year's total."
The business end is a natural for Dolginow, who grew up around his parents' jewelry store in Leawood, Kansas. The natural end he learned interning in the College's organic garden, working at a local organic farm post-graduation, and canning the harvest in the Weybridge House kitchen with friends.
"I remember thinking, 'people en masse might not get back into home canning, so let's do it for them, with the farms they want to buy from.' That's what we're trying to do at Sunrise, and it seems to be working." Dolginow calls Sunrise "a mid-tier supply chain partner" thanks to its two refrigerated box trucks, warehouse, and strong networks. "We buy produce from farms, move it to processors [like the VFVC], pick up the frozen products, and then warehouse and distribute them." Customers include a network of 25 northeastern food coops and customers such as Middlebury, Fletcher Allen Hospital, and now food service giant Sodexo, which serves 10 million people a day in 7,000 institutions. Working the fine edge between price and volume, Dolginow says, it's easy to see why the food industry has grown to such a scale. "Our solution is to work only with family farms in the northeast, period." His job satisfactions? Chefs thrilled with their produce; a role in local food security; and the daily variety: "Produce is always changing—it's tangible and dynamic, and that seemed a good use of my Middlebury College brain."
They're not your typical college-student road trips: driving from Maine loaded with 400 pounds of wild blueberries in your Outback; heading up to Hardwick to cook and can condiments at the Vermont Food Venture Center; making the rounds of farmers' markets and coops to get people sampling your product. Suzanne Calhoun '14 admits, "I have a high busy tolerance but I'm definitely pushing it." What Calhoun is also pushing—tastefully—is reconnection with the fresh, clean flavors of fruits and vegetables in home cooking. Calhoun's fledgling business, Suzanne's Sweet Savories, features seven "piquant preserves" to liven up meals with tastes from tomato to carrot and pear to cranberry. Calhoun grew up gardening and canning with her family in Jericho, Vermont. Her desire to share those pleasures with others comes, in part, from her concern with the modern state of food: "We've become so disconnected from nature," she says. "It really concerns me." In contrast, a 6-year-old could recognize all the ingredients listed on Calhoun's preserve jars.
Kudos from hungry friends and family started Calhoun thinking about scaling up into a business, but, she says, "I didn't know what was involved or where to go." Spending J-term in the MiddCORE leadership immersion course answered many of those questions and helped her establish ongoing relationships with business mentors. After further feasibility homework, she scored a MiddChallenge Grant and the suggestion to check out the VFVC. There, she found more connections through Annie Rowell: High Mowing Seeds just down the road from VFVC had tons of great tomatoes used for their seed testing; Sunrise Orchards had surplus apples perfect for cooking. As Calhoun develops savvy about marketing and sourcing, she remains committed to working with local farmers. Meanwhile, after a busy first summer, company headquarters (her parents' basement) is well stocked with preserves for distribution so she can concentrate on studying math, computer science, vertebrate biology, and music. Meanwhile, she's thinking ahead to new products to reconnect people with real food.

BUT...local municipalities can make their own rules regarding OC, so if they decide it's not ok, then CC or NO-C instead. So far though, only Chapel Hill and Cary seem to have drunk the Kool Aid.

More power from a 323ci, How?
Hey all,
How you all been? thats good! oh thats a shame sir. I hope you have enjoyed that miss.
Now that pleasantries are out of the way, Its been a while, and I think we need to gather the information that has been floating about the interwebs for a while. I know that a lot of you will read the title and tell me to google it, But the only decent posts are a couple years old, and I think that in that time we might have some more products available that we didnt have before, maybe cheaper better products, or maybe just someone who figured out a way to do it better than someone else.
So to kick things off:
The simplest way to get some power (though not most cost affective or cheap)
apparently getting 100hp (74kw) and 80 ftlbs (108nm) at only 6psi, which compared to other turbo units on say a wrx which runs at 15-20psi this probably wont destroy the engine as quickly as bolting a high psi turbo or supercharger to it. of course this is a very hardcore part (compared to people changing air filters which I will let someone else see if they can prove a cold air intake is better than a stock one)
so yeah, Throw up your ideas and hopefully this will gather some of the newer products (as well as the old faithful ones)

President Obama on Guns
Published July 26th, 2012
Loading Video...
In the wake of the Colorado shooting, President Obama is pledging to work with lawmakers to stop gun violence, calling for stepped-up background checks for people who want to purchase guns and restrictions to keep the mentally unbalanced from buying weapons.
Authorities say James Holmes broke no laws when he purchased an assault-style rifle and Glock handgun, and he passed the required background checks.

Speedy outfielder Engel promoted to Dash
Intimidators receive former Angels top pick Clarke from Voyagers
By Josh Feldman / Kannapolis Intimidators | August 9, 2014 11:41 AM ET
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (August 9, 2014) - The Kannapolis Intimidators, Class A Affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, have promoted centerfield Adam Engel to the Class A-Advanced Winston-Salem Dash today to replace Jacob May, who was placed on the Dash Disabled List. In a corresponding move, the Intimidators receive outfielder Chevy Clarke, a former Los Angeles Angels first round pick, from the Advanced Rookie Great Falls Voyagers.
After an injury-plagued first half of the season that saw Engel miss six weeks of action, the 22-year-old speedster has shown great improvement since returning to the lineup with a clean bill of health in the second half. The White Sox 19th round pick in the June 2013 First-Year Player Draft is batting .288 (44-153) with five home runs and 18 RBI in 36 games since returning to action on July 1. Overall, Engel is batting .261 (80-307) with 14 doubles, seven triples, six home runs, and 30 RBI. He leads the Intimidators with 28 stolen bases and is tied for fifth in the South Atlantic League in triples this season. Since July 11, he has hit safely in 24 of his last 26 games, including a pair of hitting streaks of at least 10 games. Engel is in his first year of full-season ball after making his professional debut with the Great Falls Voyagers in 2013, batting .301 (72-239) with 12 doubles, three triples, three home runs and 30 RBI in 56 games.
Clarke, 22, joined the White Sox in June after opening his 2014 campaign with Angels High-A affiliate Inland Empire in the California League, spending 36 games with the 66ers. In 47 games with the Voyagers, Clarke is batting .215 (39-181) with 10 home runs, nine doubles, and 31 RBI. He leads the Pioneer League in walks (40) and ranks fourth in the league in home runs. Clarke is in his fifth season of professional baseball after being selected in the first round (30th overall) of the June 2010 First-Year Player Draft by the Angels out of Marietta (Ga.) High School. He spent the 2013 season with Class A Burlington in the Midwest League, batting .227 with seven home runs and 39 RBI in 124 games.
The Kannapolis Intimidators are in the 20th season of professional baseball in Kannapolis and the team's 14th as the Class A Affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. Since the team moved to Kannapolis in 1995, a total of 79 players that have played in Kannapolis have gone on to the Major Leagues. This year's team is managed by Pete Rose Jr. and features some of the top prospects in the White Sox farm system. CMC-NorthEast Stadium is located off I-85 at exit 63. For ticket information, please contact the F&M Bank Box Office at (704) 932-3267 or visit www.IntimidatorsBaseball.com.

This makes me feel good, because I mean, I've said it like a million times this season, but I can't feel any worse, right? And there's some personality there…
We're going to give him a chance, because that's the only thing we can do.
And it's going to be a real chance.
I could go into all the stuff, and it'd be great. The firesignation, the search…
But I'm just going to call it a year on all that. We'll save it for some awesome history later on.
Right now, War Eagle.
War Eagle, coach. Like the man said, welcome home.
Filed under Coaching Search, General
The irony is as delicious as January sugar: the first positive reaction – predicated on his role in Auburn's stifling 11 points per game 2004 defense – to the Chizik hire from the national media comes from Kirk Herbstreit, who's notoriously inexplicable "still-a-lot-to-prove" about-face in the wake of what was arguably our most dominant game (Georgia) of what was arguably our most dominant season – the one game he said would prove we deserved a shot at #1 – still best captures the injustice of '04.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Which, hey, might answer J.M.'s 'why'd you leave for Texas, coach?' — you can't win a damn national title at Auburn going 13-0 and only giving up 11 points per game? Hell, go to Texas, make it easy on yourself. The undefeated 2005 Longhorns gave up 16 points per game.

I wanted my life back.
I got kicked in the balls.
… the balls of my Auburn heart.
It's not about Chizik, per se (I mean, War Eagle, 2004 forever, hi-five). It's about Jacobs. It's about whateverpowersthatbe. I mean, I'm a defender. Big time. I'm a rose-colored-benefit-of-the-doubter like you've never seen.
But it is totes official: the emperor, whoever he is, has no clothes.
About 30 fans gathered at the airport, many of which heckled the four men as they deplaned. One man stepped ahead of the reporters and booed loudly, waving his arms up and down with his thumbs pointed downward. He continued to do so during Jacobs' 33-second interview, which did not confirm nor deny earlier reports that Chizik had been hired.
It's scary.
Even were we to somehow go 13-0 again next year, it would, somehow, still feel like the wrong decision.*
So obviously wrong that, to paraphrase a convo with Chris Shelling Jr., people you didn't even think were into football are randomly texting you "God is dead."
… and showing up at the airport not for manboob autographs or DUI arrests, but to boo the president and the athletic director.
But no offense, coach. Seriously. And nice tie. Seriously.
War Eagle, coach.
Let's find as many of these type photos as we can… War Eagle.
*post-title is a Jimbo original…
** That's easy to say right now…
Mid-morning update from J.M.
A night of fitful sleep did not help my outlook on this. Some of Chizik's words this morning on his hire:
"Through my travels in coaching over the last 23 years, there's one place that I've always wanted to return to and that is Auburn," Chizik said. "The tradition of the Auburn football program combined with the passionate fans and their love for Auburn are second to none. My family and I are Auburn through and through, and look forward to being part of the Auburn family and community."
Coach, if you loved Her so much, then why did you leave Her in the first place? For the same position at the University of Texas no less? It was insulting, baby.
You owe us some roses and a foot rub, Coach Chizik. Dinner with orange and blue candles would be nice.

UPDATE @ 4:55 p.m. CST: Gene Chizik is Auburn's head coach?!?!? This is what we were waiting for?
www.al.com says it is a done deal.
The best of luck to you, Coach Chizik. You had better hit the ground running. 1,000 miles an hour.
AuburnTron makes note of the situation. The Joe Cribbs Carwash too. Phillip Marshall at Auburn Undercover says it is "wrong."
Iowa State head coach Gene Chizik is supposedly topping the list of coaches in the running to take over the Auburn University football program.
Gene Chizik, a former defensive coach at Auburn and Texas, was 0-8 in conference play this year in the Big 12 North. Think about it: He's like the Big 12 version of former University of Mississippi head coach Ed Orgeron, who didn't win a game against SEC opponents last year, also finishing conference play 0-8. Orgeron was then fired.
Seriously? Chizik is who Auburn wants to hire to replace Tommy Tuberville?
Ronald McDonald's rich uncle grasps Gene Chizik.
Coach Chizik has a 2-14 record in Big 12 conference play in two years.
Please see the records of some of the teams that Chizik lost to!
Losses in 2007: Kent State (3-9), Northern Iowa (11-0, Division 1-AA), Toledo (5-7), Nebraska (5-7), Texas Tech (9-4), Texas (10-3), Oklahoma (11-3), Missouri (12-2), Kansas (12-1).
2007 Wins: Iowa (6-6), Kansas St. (5-7), Colorado (6-7).
Losses in 2008: Iowa (8-4), UNLV (5-7), Kansas (7-5), Baylor (4-8), Nebraska (8-4), Texas A&M (4-8), Oklahoma St. (9-3), Colorado (5-7), Missouri (9-4), Kansas St. (5-7).
2008 Wins: South Dakota State (7-5), Kent State (4-8).
Gene Chizik, as a head coach has beaten ONE team with a winning record: the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Unbelievable.
Chizik has 18 losses for his two seasons at Iowa State. Ten of those losses were to teams with winning records; eight losses were to teams with a losing record.
Chizik's signature win was over the University of Iowa in 2007. That Iowa team finished the season at 6-6.
Also please see this column today on ESPN. Here is an excerpt:
A Dallas Fort-Worth radio talk show host claimed that he had been told by an Oklahoma State assistant coach that Chizik had told him he regretted taking the Iowa State job and was more happy winning games as Texas' defensive coordinator.
Chizik doesn't have the stomach to be a head coach, according to this claim.
I don't think I have the stomach either: I'm going to be sick.

Custom Lighting in Toronto – Cost-Effective and Creative
Jayne Browne
The Benefits of Custom Lighting
Well-chosen lighting elements can enhance the aesthetics of their surrounding space. Custom lighting has always allowed self expression to provide a sense of comfort and relaxation.
AM Studio
will customize fixtures that are best suited for you and your needs based on your personal objectives and taste. Whether you are designing a new living space or renovating your present home, it is a necessity to consider lighting as one of the major elements of your design.
Lighting fixtures are more than mere light sources; they are integral aspects to sound interior design. Well-chosen lighting elements can enhance the aesthetics of their surrounding space, and custom designed fixtures can offer the precise look and appeal a buyer desires. Aside from physical appearances, prospective buyers may also benefit financially from custom lighting based on the choices made in regards to the technology used.
The Advantages of Using Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting
Compared to commonly used incandescent or halogen lights, which have life spans of 1,000 hours and 2,500 hours respectively, light-emitting diode (LED) lighting has a much longer lifespan of 100,000 hours. In addition, LED lights do not burn out, but rather grow dimmer over time. Studies show that traditional lighting options have an estimated 20 per cent efficiency, whereas LED lights have 80 to 90 per cent efficiency. Also, LED lights do not contain mercury, which is highly toxic and commonly found in compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), and they are entirely recyclable. For ecological consumers who are concerned with the efficiency of their energy usage, LED lighting is definitely an option worthy of consideration.
From an economic standpoint, LED lights can provide between 100 to 200 lumens per watt at a low wattage, compared to incandescent lights' production of 18 to 20 lumens per watt while using up to 10 times as much power. A reduction in watt usage translates to a reduction in electricity costs and switching from incandescent bulbs to LED lights will result in drastic cost reductions for the prospective consumer.
LED lights are also flexible in their application, as evidenced in their ability to direct focused light, eliminating the need for external reflectors. In addition, LED lights can be configured and manipulated in numerous ways, such as design, pattern, and luminance, making them the optimal choice for
custom lighting
Customizing Light Fixtures With Different Materials
With advancements in technology over the years, lighting customization can be performed using various materials, such as metal, crystals, glass, Mylar, and porcelain. Each of these materials has unique characteristics that contribute to the overall appeal of different lighting fixtures. Metal is often used to provide a framework for lighting fixtures and can be shaped into ornate structures with style and character. Crystals and glass offer a sense of elegance and can reflect light in a dazzling fashion. Mylar, a polyester film developed in the 1950s, is known for its strength, heat resistance, and insulation, allowing equal parts of light diffusion and warm glow. Porcelain is a great material for forming, enabling light sources to be encapsulated within amorphous shapes.
Custom Lighting in Toronto
Many experts in custom lighting fabrication can be
found in Toronto
, with operations that offer complex technical customization services for the general public as well as commercial markets. With great experience in the field of lighting customization, the professionals in Toronto are exceptionally skilled in marrying art and technology to produce magnificent custom lighting fixtures that cater to specific clients' needs.

text: I ask because apparently I dont do this well. People tell me that they can never know what I am feeling because I always have a straight face. I also lack the typical reaction to certain things that most people have. (acting suprised at things that are supposed to be suprising, I rarely smile or laugh at things (unless its something in my mind), but at the same time I dont have that "sad" look either. I remember this one guy even said that I had NO personality. I was wondering if any other INFPs have the same problem.

At home keratin, not actually straightening?
Hi all!
I just bought the organix keratin treatment and was planning on using it next week after more research. It says to completely straighten your hair after putting the product on. What would happen if I just left it in and didn't straighten it, maybe just put it in a braid? I don't want straight hair just less curly and frizzy. My hair is a 3c, I want a 2b.
Thank you all!
In this video the poster curls her hair with a flat iron.

I'm looking for something stronger than "No Trespassing."
In your area, would something like "Trespassers will be Shot," legal?
I'm not even sure if it's legal in Arkansas. Anyway, thanks. :confused:

Haha second time in two days I've got to use this one.
Just get some of those BioHazard signs, or surround your property with "Crime Scene" tape. :bier:
Just your typical no trespassing sign will do. If you put up one like you posted above, the BG is just going to know that you firearms at your home. So he will wait til you leave.
In the old Winnie the Pooh stories by A.A. Milne Pooh and Piglet sometimes came across a sign that simply said "TRESPASSERS WILL..."
Maybe some ambiguity might help.
In rural FL, I'd put out signs that say, "CAUTION: State Rattlesnake Nesting Area":image035:
I use these:
I simply go with the "no tresspassing" sign. The dogs usually enforce the rules quite well :yup: (and there's none of the legal issues that come up with a "beware of dog" sign)
how about...
A simple "No Trespassing" or "Posted" sign or whatever your state specifies. The law may state the wording and manner of displaying required to "legally" post your property. Some state may not require anything, and that your property is presumed to be posted.
Any and all of those "will be shot" or other "humor" signs are generally ignored as chest-thumping displays.
This brings up a "quandary" in my life.
When we had a burglar alarm installed it came with two signs and posts to put out. I didn't. My theory is "Why warn them?" If the snallygastards know you have an alarm, they will just be more cautious....probably learn to defeat it. My wife thinks we should have posted the sagns to deter the criminal element.
What are your thoughts?????
If your neighbors have a sign, you need one also or the BGs will pick on you. If they don't have signs, you need one so the BGs will pick on them instead of you. Why would BGs take on a house with an alarm when the one next door appears unprotected? Answer - they won't.
We've had a small window sticker indicating a monitored system and haven't been hit in 35 years. My neighbors don't have signs and 2 of them have been hit in that time.
Nothing says "No Tresspassing" like a rump full of rock salt... Just sayin'

World of Work Report
Volume 03
- Employees spend more than 32% of their time on social media every day for personal work
- An average of 2.35 hours is spent accessing social media at work every day.
While social media may be the most sought after employer branding and Marketing tool, the unrestricted usage of it is having a negative impact on employee productivity states TeamLease World of Work Report. According to the study, around 32% of the total time spend on social media during working hours is used for personal work indicating a huge loss of official resources and productivity. In fact, 13% of the total productivity is lost owing to the social media indulgence alone.
Further, as per the study, apart from loss of productivity, the extensive usage of social media by employees has also resulted in an increase in loss of confidential information, defamation, misinformation and employee solicitation.
A detailed drill down on the nature of usage and time spend, according to the report, indicates that Facebook is the most visited social media platform. Out of the 62% employees who accessed social media during working hours, nearly 83% of them spend significant time browsing Facebook.
Hours spend on social media
Commenting on the report, Mr. Kunal Sen, Senior Vice President, TeamLease Services said, "Social media comes with its own inherent merits and demerits. In fact, indulgence in social media and the resultant slacking is a testimony of pastimes getting more interesting than work. Hence rather than blindly instituting rules, organizations should get to the root cause of the misuse and devise policies that make work more challenging and the work culture more aspirational."
'Social Media at Workplace' is the third in TeamLease survey series under 'World of World Report' to understand 'India's evolving World of Work'. The survey was administered on HR managers across sectors. The current survey series aims to understand the pulse of young Indian workforce to the different aspects that govern the working environment.Click To Read Download

With youngsters being less patriarchal and more sensitive towards gender parity women employees' favour younger bosses states 'The Younger Boss- Older Subordinate' relationship, a detailed research elaborating India's evolving world of work.
According to the report, more than 52 percentage of women in the start-up sector preferred working under younger superiors. Women felt younger bosses were less prejudiced and more open to diverse point of views. The liking for younger bosses is not just restricted to women, even male employees preferred younger bosses. Around 75 percentages of men, in the start-up industry were open to report to a younger superior indicating a clear shift in the qualities that define leadership. Though there is a penchant for youngsters, there is an equal and strong wave of resentment towards their leadership style. While more than 57 percentages of the entry-to-mid level employees across sectors favoured working with younger superior, around 75% of the seasoned professionals (talent with more than 20 years of experience) looked forward to working with older bosses. They attributed the older chiefs with better capabilities to handle complexities, ambiguity, people and organizational transformations.Click To Read Download

'Referral Programs Breeding Mediocrity Report' is the first in TeamLease survey series to understand 'India's evolving World of Work'. The survey was administered on HR managers across sectors. The current survey series aims to understand the pulse of young Indian workforce to the different aspects that govern the working environment.
Referral programs have been touted as the newest holy grail of hiring. Purportedly, referral hiring is the silver bullet that solves for employee engagement, culture fit, hiring costs and retention. While some of these benefits may be real and might even be significant, the industry is abuzz with the pitfalls of referral hiring as well. And the most destructive of them all, Talent Managers say, are clique forming and mediocrity breeding.

Jefferson County, Colorado: Widespread flood recovery efforts are continuing in Colorado as hundreds of residents remain unaccounted for and the death toll rises.
Officials said there were at least 700 Coloradans still listed as missing in Boulder and Larimer counties after the disaster, which has washed out bridges and roads and isolated several central Colorado communities.
Governor John Hickenlooper, appearing on CNN on Sunday morning, expressed hope that many of the missing are simply out of reach of communications, and have "already gotten out or (are) staying with friends."
"But," he added, "we're still bracing. I mean, there are many, many homes that have been destroyed."
The tentative death toll from the flooding rose to six as Larimer County law enforcement officials said an 80-year-old woman had probably been killed.
John Schulz, the public information officer for Larimer County, said the woman was injured and not able to get out of her house as floodwaters began engulfing it. When neighbours returned to get her out, the house was gone. The woman is missing and presumed dead.
It's common in disasters to have large numbers of missing people who have simply been displaced and briefly cut off from contact, but the numbers usually peak early and then decline as people are located. In Colorado's slow-motion disaster, however, the number of missing has continued to rise.
As of Sunday morning in Boulder County there were 234 people unaccounted for, up from 218 on Saturday, said Liz Donaghey of the Boulder Office of Emergency Management.
Larimer County authorities said 482 people were unaccounted for, up from 350 on Saturday.
Ms Donaghey stressed that not everyone on the list is missing. She said she is hoping the number will become firmer as authorities try to remove duplications of names.
Ms Donaghey said it has been difficult to get accurate numbers of the missing because communications have been spotty or non-existent in some of the hardest-hit areas.
Phone service has been restored to some areas so authorities are hopeful they can reach more people.
Mr Schulz, of Larimer County, attributed the growth in the numbers of missing to growing concern from relatives and friends. People assumed they would hear from loved ones but became increasingly frantic when days passed and they still had not, he said.
The National Guard has rescued 1700 people from isolated areas. But heavy rains have sometimes grounded helicopters, which have been key to reaching people where roads are impassable.
But Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith said things were starting to look up.
"I can tell you, while I felt hopeless on Friday, I felt a lot of hope, a lot of energy yesterday," Mr Smith said.
He became emotional as he described how he thought the communities would come back from the disaster "inch by inch, mile, by mile, community by community."
"They're doing it," Mr Smith said, his voice breaking. "People are getting those things done out there."

This question already has an answer here:
Hey please help I did the encryption using SHA-512 algorithm but now i want to do decryption with it and get back the original string. but i am facing lots of problem even i tried reverse engineering to but it only convert the hex to byte format after that it provide garbage values. can anyone help me.Thank you this is my encryption code with SHA-512
private static String encrypt(String EncryptPass, String temp){ String generatedPassword = null; try { MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-512"); md.update(temp.getBytes()); byte[] bytes = md.digest(EncryptPass.getBytes()); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); for(int i=0; i< bytes.length ;i++) { sb.append(Integer.toString((bytes[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1)); } generatedPassword = sb.toString(); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return generatedPassword;}
I created a text file in Ubuntu called text.txt with some text and no newline at the end.
When I use online sha512 hash generators, I get different results than sha512sum. Why is that?
# echo "8====D" > test.txt # sha512sum test.txt
549f38836f34b6fe2ca8661f5bd91dfcbcb2e675c338e7eb50390f8ebb509f28fb6df9ebcb0493cfa661b042180a9b351f6c06dbd628300e47cbdf4d13e6d9b2 test2.txt
http://passwordsgenerator.net/sha512-hash-generator/ and http://hash.online-convert.com/sha512-generator show the hash as: ba54cdfcc32c0789acd1ee74ccd7cf2e5140f58b3d6864620c24793a93f01253d040bb3264a17629f1f0448eb22f600c6c1e5274162db97b913bde30ff16c6eb
I don't really want to dump some code and expect answers but this is a pretty lengthy function that hashes a password in order to later compare it to the database-stored value.
I have seen posts where people wasted time trying to recreate what they could achieve with the
md5() function in PHP.
For that reason, I'm wondering if someone with any encryption knowledge knows of a PHP equivalent to achieve the following effect in PHP:
internal static string GenerateEncryptedPassword(string password, string salt, int iterationCount) { byte[] passwordBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password); byte[] saltBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(salt); byte[] iterationCountBytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(iterationCount); int derivedLength = passwordBytes.Length + saltBytes.Length; byte[] passwordSaltBytes = new byte[derivedLength]; byte[] pbkdf2Bytes; string encryptedString; for (int i = 0; i < passwordBytes.Length; i++) { passwordSaltBytes[i] = passwordBytes[i]; } for (int i = 0; i < saltBytes.Length; i++) { passwordSaltBytes[passwordBytes.Length + i] = saltBytes[i]; } using (Rfc2898DeriveBytes pbkdf2 = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, passwordSaltBytes, iterationCount)) { pbkdf2Bytes = pbkdf2.GetBytes(derivedLength + iterationCountBytes.Length); } using (SHA512 sha512 = new SHA512Managed()) { byte[] hashBytes = sha512.ComputeHash(pbkdf2Bytes); byte[] hashSaltBytes = new byte[hashBytes.Length + saltBytes.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < hashBytes.Length; i++) { hashSaltBytes[i] = hashBytes[i]; } for (int i = 0; i < saltBytes.Length; i++) { hashSaltBytes[hashBytes.Length + i] = saltBytes[i]; } encryptedString = Convert.ToBase64String(hashSaltBytes); } return encryptedString; }
If it changes anything, I'm using Laravel...
Thank you for any guidance
I hate encryption :D
$user = \App\User::all();$salt = strtolower($user[2]->Salt);$password = 'P@$$W0rd';$dbPassword = $user[2]->Password;$iterations = 10000;echo openssl_pbkdf2($password, $salt, 44, $iterations, 'sha512');
This question already has an answer here:
I'm trying to encrypt data to send to the API.
The API requires the data to be sent as
hmac_sha512 encrypted hash.
I've found various examples of how it possibly could have been done for
sha1 and others (not
sha512) and also in older versions of Swift.
None of the examples that I tried work for
swift 3.1
Any help in the right direction will be appreciated.
In PHP, I successfully send it using:
$sign = hash_hmac('sha512', $post_data, $this->secret);
Edit 2:
did add briding header, I don't know what to do next! As the code examples followed after that don't work for swift 3.1 :(
Edit 3:
Solved! Guess what, I was creating briding header incorrectly! :(
P.S I'm trying to avoid CryptoSwift, focusing on CommonCrypto.
I understand that RSA keys can be generated using different
sha algorithms. Using
openssl, I don't seem to have the option of specifying what algorithm the key generator should use. I suspect it's using
How can I generate RSA keys using different
sha algorithms (such as
sha512) in either a bash shell or in Ruby? Does the
openssl library support generating RSA keys using different algorithms? If not, does anyone know of another library I can use? (In ruby,
OpenSSL::PKey::RSA doesn't seem to allow for choosing an algorithm, but the documentation is hard for me to follow soo...?)
Apologies if this question has already been answered, but I haven't been able to find an answer.
Maybe I should also note (in case I am wrong): it is my understanding that choosing a size for the generated RSA key (i.e.
RSA 2048) is separate from choosing the hashing algorithm (i.e.
UPDATE - Some background
I want to sign Java Web Tokens with an RSA key. The JWT library I'm using gives me the impression that RSA keys can be generated using different hashing algorithms (RS256, RS384, RS512). Generating a key using
openssl doesn't seem to let me choose what hashing algorithm is used though.

The Rippingtons
One of the most popular groups in what is loosely termed "contemporary jazz," the Rippingtons were formed (and have been led ever since) by guitarist/keyboardist Russ Freeman (no relation to the veteran West Coast bop pianist of the same name). Freeman (born February 11, 1960, in Nashville) studied at Cal Arts and UCLA, and recorded Nocturnal Playground as a leader in 1985 for the Brainchild label, a one-man project. In 1987, he was approached to record for the Japanese Alfa label and came up with the Rippingtons name for the all-star group he used on the disc (Moonlighting), an ensemble featuring David Benoit, Kenny G., and Brandon Fields. Their album was released domestically by Passport and became a hit. Freeman soon formed a regular touring band (usually including saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa, bassist Kim Stone, drummer Tony Morales, and percussionist Steve Reid), cut a second disc for Passport, and the group recorded regularly for GRP. Freeman writes all of the music for the Rippingtons, much of which falls in the pop/R&B genre. In the late '90s, the group moved over to the Windham Hill label, recording such albums as Black Diamond (1997), Topaz (1999), Live! Across America, and Life in the Tropics (both in 2000). For 2003's Let It Ripp, the band relied heavily on their horn section to carry the weight of the album. The Latin-flavored Wild Card followed in 2005. The band returned in 2009 with Modern Art. In 2011, the Rippingtons released the South of France-inspired Côte d'Azur, followed two years later by Built to Last. The band's 20th studio album, Fountain of Youth, appeared in 2014. In 2016, the Rippingtons celebrated their 30th anniversary with the release of True Stories, which featured the return of original member, saxophonist Brandon Fields. ~ Scott Yanow

...who after two seasons in the U.S. in the WPS is currently playing pro for Espanol in the Spanish League. As well as kicking ass on the field, Lianne and her team mate and partner in the newly founded JoLi Academy, Joanna Lohman, are dreaming big and looking to kickstart a better future for football-loving girls in India too.
SK: You have been playing for Espanol since the WPS season finished (where you were playing with the Philadelphia Independence) and you had a pretty good win at the weekend, yeah?
Lianne: Yeah we were really good, it was probably our best team performance so far. We beat Rayo Vallecano 4-0, who Arsenal played in the Champions league recently. It's funny because there's a big rivalry between the teams. Rayo beat Espanol in the final of 2-1 last season, which was how Rayo qualified for Europe. This was the first time they had played them since that game and so, with such a strong rivalry, everyone was on it and everyone stepped up their game.
Espanol also have a big rivalry with Barcelona, who are one of the other better sides. They really hate each other! We play them on the 17th December. we will hopefully play in a stadium at our training field, on grass, unlike quite a few of the other clubs in the league and there's quite a lot of publicity – it's quite a big thing, so we're really looking forward to that.
Attendances are like in England, in that they are up and down depending on the fixture and publicity. Some games there can be nobody there and others you can get a good crowd of a couple of hundred.
SK: How did you end up in Spain?
Lianne (pictured celebrating a last minute winner for Philadelphia): Veronica Boquete, who was mine and Jo's [Joanna Lohman] team mate in Philadelphia [Independence], had a TV crew come out to film a documentary on her. Espanyol is her club in Spain and it was kind of through her that we were put into contact with the people at the club. They liked us as players and we both felt that 6 months off in the off season from the WPS was too long to take off – we were actually in the process of arranging a team in Brazil to go and train with - and then Patricia Coma and her boyfriend, who were part of the film crew, got involved and helped negotiate our move out here.
SK: Where are you living, are you both playing as full 'pro's?
Lianne: We're not getting paid much but we do get paid. We have an apartment just 15 minutes outside of the city and so we have been doing lots of exploring and our team mates and the people here are really nice. We've found it pretty easy to understand the language, when doing drills and stuff in practice.
SK: What is the standard of play in the league like?
Lianne: That's probably the only thing that is frustrating as it's not that competitive. Like the Premier League was in England before the WSL, there are 3-4 competitive teams and then there is a big gap, so against other teams we're winning more easily. Like when Arsenal would play games in the FA Cup and be winning 12-0 and stuff. Which is not that great.
SK: Are you both enjoying it then?
Jo: I think whenever you move to a new country it takes time to adapt to the culture and the way of life. Yes, there are times when we get frustrated but we have really come to enjoy both the city and our new club. Most of the girls on our team either have to go to school or work a job during the day and so for them, it is difficult to focus purely on the game. It has to be more of a passion or hobby. We, on the other hand, are lucky enough to get to do this for a living. We could play soccer all day long. So, there are differences but on the whole, I am very happy living and playing in Spain.
Lianne: I think that's the biggest thing. I left England and moved to America and learned how to train with that intensity, I have learned better habits and I'm ten times the player I was because of all that. Because most of our team mates here at Espanol are studying or working, we don't train or play until 10pm sometimes. Studying to be a doctor is more important than their football, playing is not their only main priority. We still train five times a week but after two years in the U.S., training every day, most days with two sessions, it's hard being here having to wait around all day for practice between 9:30-11:30pm! I've got an American mentality now and I'm used to having everything in place for you. I know I'm fortunate to have had that opportunity but I also can't say I have not improved as a result of that. I would encourage anyone to go to America, if they got the chance. When younger players email me, asking advice, I tell them, 'The first opportunity you get, go to America.'Having said that I am enjoying it here,its a new experience and i am learning a lot about myself as a player and personally.No everyone has the opportunity to live next to a beach in Spain,so we are very lucky.
SK: What are your plans for next season?
Lianne: We are waiting to see what happens with the WPS. It appears that they have one week or so to find a 6th team. The fans of the league are amazing and so many people are offering to donate to keep the league going but someone needs to invest $2-3 million, not just bits here and there. To be honest, we don't know a great deal and aren't sure exactly what we can and can't say and being over here, we are relying on social media like everyone else, to discover what is happening.
SK: It's been a year or so since you, Lianne, decided you didn't want to be considered for England selection for the foreseeable future. Any regrets?
Lianne: It was with pride I wore the England shirt and it was an honour every time I played for my country. I still want the girls to do well and many are still very good friends of mine but I don't regret it. I wasn't happy and felt down. It was an emotional decision and hard to make but I'm happier for it. The only thing is that I obviously won't be considered for the GB team for the Olympics. So, I've not regretted it but I wouldn't rule out playing for England again, in the future.
SK: We notice you have been ploughing your energies into a pretty exciting project, tell us about the JoLi Academy, how did it come about?
Jo (in action for the Independence, below): Well, my brother works in the U.S. State Department as a Vice Consulate, he has been based in Chennai and India is a country that I really want to go to. Lianne's academies have been a great success in England we are both passionate about coaching the game and growing the game for women. Soccer in India is largely a middle class sport, although they don't believe that players can study AND play. Most of the best players are out in rural areas and villages and so this seemed to be a great opportunity to help raise issues of equality and progress for girls and women.
Sunil Gulati, Head of US Soccer Federation, is a friend of mine and using his and mine and other networks, we managed to explain our ambitions and contact the right people and (with a lot of hard work from a lot of great people) it has snowballed from there. We connected with NGOs in India, like YUWA, who work out in Jarkhand, and decided that in youth development lay the best way to make a profound impact on the lives of young women.
From day one, we've found everyone to be very responsive - people keep saying that this is 'just India'. It's almost emotional how positive and responsive people have been and they believe that our presence would be a powerful thing. . India is like any other country, when it comes to football, the women always come in second but this will be the first time that the Indian Football Federation will have collaborated with an NGO and we hope that the national team will come to Jarkhand too.
So, we will live in the village with the people, eat with the people. It's going to be very interesting and has taken a lot of the last 4 months to plan and put together, there was so much to be done. Twitter has been very helpful and so many people have helped us, they're working for us for nothing because what we're planning to do is not cheap. We've had to do a lot of fundraising. We have an online auction, which a lot of people have donated items towards, through which we we're hoping to raise quite a lot of money.
We have to organise a shipment of equipment to India, all of which will be going to the girls. We will have a film crew with us to make a short documentary film which will hopefully make an appearance at a film festival, sometime in the future.
SK: When do you go?
Lianne: Our flights have been booked for months, we fly on January 4th and return on 1st Feb. It's a lot of responsibility and there's lots riding on this, so many people have helped us out and done work for us for free, acting as interns almost. Long term, our goal will be to employ people but until then so much stuff has been done by people helping out, like designing our logo. It's overwhelming. We have such great fans, such a strong following in the U.S.
SK: So this is a long term venture, with long term plans and hopes of a real legacy?
Lianne: Yeah, we have already had offers to go to other countries. Bahrain, Grenada, South America but we are looking to go to countries that are underprivileged. For now though, we are starting with India and we aim to do it properly, to learn and build on it, before we look to do it in other countries.
We also want to give the girls in India a better future, so one of our other long term goals is to help them perhaps gain scholarships in America. We just want to help, basically.
SK: Sounds great. But first you have a game this weekend! Who is it against?
Lianne: We play on Sunday against Levante, one of the better teams.
SK: Well, thanks and good luck with both!
JoLi Academy is founded by Joanna Lohman & Lianne Sanderson, two professional footballers currently playing in Spain.
Joanna and Lianne's aim is to change the trajectory of the lives of young women around the world - through football. Their first stop is in India-- January 2012. Here JoLi Academy will share its gained experience with the All Indian Football Federation and an incredible NGO, YUWA (www.yuwa-india.org). JoLi intends to supplement the training and development of these young female players by spending 10 days with them in Jharkhand, one of the poorest, least literate and most lawless regions in India. The ultimate goal is to mentor the girls to increase their chances to secure a more hopeful future: English studies, nutritional recommendations, and education opportunities both domestically and internationally.
The JoLi Academy, India 2012, will mark the first time that an NGO is working directly with the Indian Women's National Team. This historic collaboration will have implications for years to come and will better propel India to seriously make a run at future Women's World Cups.
The Yuwa Girls play football with virtually no funding on a borrowed patch of field just like the great players of the world did when they were children - Messi, Rooney, and Marta.
In India's top source state for human trafficking, teamwork is also a powerful force to combat the three primary causes of a young woman's vulnerability: few opportunities, gender inequality, and lack of confidence. In Yuwa, a girl gains confidence to challenge the social script of gender inequality, and is introduced to opportunities she might not have dared consider for herself. The idea is to develop an atmosphere in villages which creates a sense of belonging, that builds a girl up, and that makes parents aware of a girl's rights and value.
This is also about Joanna Lohman & Lianne Sanderson's travel to a foreign country in an effort to empower adolescent girls in the developing world. By investing in sustainable projects that support young girls, these two professional women footballers, hope to help young Indian women change the trajectory of their lives.
In order for this all to happen JoLi Academy needs a strong base of support, something they are asking the women's footie community to support. How can you do this?
How you can help JoLi Academy:
1. Donate Funds at www.joliacademy.myevent.com
Additional Funds used for documentary, shipment of goods, travel expenses, and most importantly overall development of JoLi Academy and its mission.
2. Bid for your favourite things in the official JoLi Academy Auction: JoLi Academy has been overwhelmed by the support of their colleagues/teammates/friends and is hence holding an auction of donated signed paraphenalia on their websitewww.joliacademy.myevent.com. Please check it out and bid on your favourite things from Caroline Seger ,Amy Rodriguez,The entire US Womens National Team,and much much more. You can even bid on dinner with Lianne and Joanna, in London. So many options, see for yourself. The Auction starts this Sunday, December 11th at 8:00pm EST.
ALL DONATIONS CAN BE MADE ON: www.joliacademy.myevent.com

I had a horrible experience with unwarranted hair touching when I was 11-years old. (I am 20 now.) My hair was cut into a very volumnious stacked curly bob then, almost down to my shoulders. I was in my first year of middle school, eating lunch in the outdoor courtyard. After the bell rang, signaling that lunch was over, most people had left the courtyard, save for me and a few people. I was always really slow at packing things up, so I was usually one of the last to leave. When most of the people had cleared out, a group of four football players surrounded me. All four of them started literally
and pulling at my hair, saying things like, "Is it real?", "It looks like an afro!", "What an awful perm!", "She looks like Mufassa from the Lion King"! They basically harassed me and yanked at my hair for about two to three minutes.
I kept protesting, telling them to stop, yet they did not cease, nor did any passer-bys stop them. They finally went away once the bell rang again, and I ran crying to the school office. The whole incident was caught on security cameras, yet in the end, none of the boys ended up being punished. One of them was the football coach's son, and the rest were popular and favored with the administration. They did nothing about it; the principal said, "They were just curious!" and a load of other dismissive crap. It was definitely an assault in my book!
Talk about a dual case of curl hatred and athlete favoritism!

Modeling and Array Problem
I am a high school student and am interning/volunteering at a
university over the summer. My ultimate goal is to model the movement
of charge in a Nickel Metal Hydride Sphere using Mathematica. This
goal is beyond my ability as it requires calculus and differential
equations and so forth. But I am to progress as best I can, using
iterative processes to replace calculus where possible. The professor
I am working with has started me with the simpler task of finding the
curvature of a set of data points (in this first easy case, the 'data'
is the values of 101 points of the x^2 function).
While programming, I have found it necessary to change the value of
certain elements of an array of ordered pairs, but have been unable to
do so.
In[1]:= array = {{1,1},{2,2},{3,3},{4,4},{5,5}};
In[2]:= array[[1]][[1]]
Out[2]= 1
In[2]:= array[[1]][[1]] = 42
Out[2]= Set::setps: test in assignment of part is not a symbol.
I suppose the error arises when I attempt to set the numerical contents
of the array equal to a certain value. Is there anyway to simply
overwrite the element at a certain address? Why does the syntax used
above seem to work for lists?
In[3]:= list = {1,2,3,4,5};
In[4}:= list[[1]]
Out[4]= 1
In[5]:= list[[1]] = 42;
In[6]:= list
Out[6]= {42,2,3,4,5}
I have included what I have written so far at the end of this message
to put my problem in context. As I am new to Mathematica, I do not
know hoe to write elegant, concise programs using the array of powerful
built in functions, so I appologize for my clunky code. There is
probably a much easier way to accomplish my task.
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you,

Bellow is what I have written so far. The comments are mostly meant
for myself, and probably do not make much sense.
g = 1;
(*sets value of liberated proton constant*)
(*sets value of diffusion constant*)
v= 0.1;
(*sets value of boundry velocity*)
a = 0.1;
(*sets the value of constant \[Alpha]*)
j = 0;
(*sets the initial value of j. This step shouldn't be necessary*)
rprevb=rprev = Table[0z, {z,0,100}];
r = 0; s = 0;
(Do[rprev[([q])] = {r, s^2}; (r++); (s++), {q, 1, 101}];)
(*These three lines create the initial list of ordered pairs*)
Do[rprevb[[q]]={0,0}, {q,1,101}]
jmax = 100;
(*initially sets the maximum horizontal range*)
iter[n_]:= If[
n==jmax , (rprev[[n+1]][[2]] + v*(g+rprev[[n+1]][[2]]) -
d*(rprev[[n+2]][[2]]-rprev[[n+1]][[2]])), (rprev[[n+1]][[2]]+
a*(rprev[[n]][[2]]-2rprev[[n+1]][[2]]+rprev[[n+2]][[2]]))] ;
(*defines transformation function*)
dim =Dimensions[rprev];
dimb = Dimensions[rprevb];
Print["Dimensions of initial list = ",dim]
Print["Dimensions of initial list = ",dimb]
initialplot = ListPlot[rprev]
Do[Do[rprevb[[(j+1)]][[2]]=iter[j]; Print[rprevb]; {j,0,jmax,1}];
rprev=rprevb; Print["time = ",t]; Print["jmax = ",jmax ];
(*With every iteration of the outside loop,
jmax is decremented by one. As iterations progress to flatten the
the boundry moves. Should these two processes take place in this
It appears this is not the ideal model, but it will work for
