Due South with the British Antarctic Survey
A cold and windy September afternoon marks the start of the fifth Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) experiment aboard the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) research vessel RRS James Clark Ross. Each year the ship sails from the UK to the Falkland Islands in September en route to service the UK Antarctic research bases. Jim (our UNIX support engineer) is busy fastening down his trusty Toshiba laptop (Tecra 730XCDT with 48MB) in his cabin on board James Clark Ross in preparation for the inevitable bad weather. Ahead of us lie six weeks of precision ocean-atmosphere measurements, near real-time data processing, heated debate, troubleshooting and, hopefully, some scientific discovery. Fortunately, we have both chosen one of the most versatile and reliable operating systems at hand to maximize our output during this experiment—Linux. This article discusses the impact of Linux, which is now routinely used at BAS and during the AMT experiments. (See http://www1.npm.ac.uk/amt/ for more information on the AMT project.)

The RRS James Clark Ross (shown in Figure 1) was launched in 1990 and is one of the world's most complex marine research vessels, incorporating over 400 square meters of scientific laboratory space. It was named after the scientist and polar explorer Admiral Sir James Clark Ross, RN (1800-1862), who in February 1842 reached 78.9 degrees S—a record which remarkably stood well into the 20th century.
Figure 2 shows the track taken by the James Clark Ross during the and AMT-5 cruise superimposed on a monthly composite satellite image of Chlorophyll a derived from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) carried on the SeaStar spacecraft. Different types of phytoplankton have characteristically different concentrations of chlorophyll and are, therefore, different in color. By measuring the color of the ocean with the SeaWiFS instrument, estimates of the amount and general type of phytoplankton in specific regions can be made as shown in Figure 2. An extensive web site provides a wealth of information on the SeaWiFS mission at http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEAWIFS.html.

The ocean-atmosphere measurements taken during the AMT cruises are fundamental for the calibration, validation and interpretation of remotely sensed observations, including sea-surface temperature, wind speed, atmospheric water vapour and ocean colour (which can be related to bio-optical processes)—all of which are vital for ongoing climate research. Figure 3 shows the instrument cluster mounted on the forward mast of the James Clark Ross which measures, among other things, sea-surface temperature (using an infrared radiometer), solar radiation, wind speed and direction, air temperature, radar backscatter (a measure of surface roughness) and humidity. All of these measurements are used to investigate the processes, occurring at the air-sea interface, which in many cases define the signal actually measured by the satellite instruments. (See http://www1.npm.ac.uk/amt/ for more information on the AMT project.)

From a system engineer's point of view, the main requirement of an operating system is that it integrate with the existing computing infrastructure available on (in this case) BAS ships and also at Antarctic bases as well as at headquarters. Since the majority of instruments are logged to Sun SPARC workstations, it makes sense to run an OS which allows NFS mounts to the data areas the workstations create. Many users require the ability to perform data processing locally without having to place extra strain on the data-logging workstations. As most of this is undertaken using shell scripts or compiled C source code, it made sense to run a form of UNIX locally. This enables shell scripts to run with no modifications and the C code to easily recompile. Other user-driven considerations included access to backup hardware, hard-copy output, real-time data displays and access to a common library of software packages.
Figure 4. The main laboratory space occupied by the Linux workstations aboard the RRS James Clark Ross during the AMT experiments.
Upon considering these requirements, our choice was made simple: it had to be Red Hat Linux. For our purpose, Linux provides an extremely versatile operating system with the ability to effortlessly and seamlessly integrate itself efficiently into any existing network system. The immense amount of supported hardware made installation on Jim's laptop and on our desktop machines a painless exercise, and we were delighted with the way that even a default installation gave us exactly what we wanted. It is this kind of hardware support and user-friendly installation interface which caught our eye in the first place when considering various UNIX systems for Intel processors.
After unpacking our brand new PC (Intel DX 120; 32MB RAM) and removing the pre-installed OS (we did ask for Linux), the whole installation took less than an afternoon. We now had a fully working UNIX workstation configured within the James Clark Ross NIS domain, auto-mounting file systems whenever required. Jim went even further with his laptop. Using Caldera Wabi 2.0, he had the ability to run the BAS standard word processor and e-mail packages (which are MS Windows-based). Being able to do all this using free or inexpensive software proves what a professional product Linux is. Gone are the days when Linux was considered a "toy UNIX" for hackers—it is now a fully functional UNIX environment which is just as stable (if not more) as the various commercial UNIX systems on the market.
Software support for Linux is already immense, and growing rapidly. Of particular importance was our need to use the RSI Inc. Interactive Data Language (IDL) to develop processing tools and visualize our data in near real time. IDL is a powerful data-visualization tool, and RSI Inc. recognized the power of Linux several years ago by choosing to support it. Using Linux IDL, a complete data-processing suite was developed for two new instruments deployed during the AMT which are still in active use today. We also had a need to effectively communicate and work on collective documents during our time at sea. Most users choose MS Word for this purpose, and using Caldera Wabi 2.0, we were easily able to supply this application. This, coupled with Linux's ability to mount Novell Netware volumes, meant that we truly had the best of both worlds: access to all our UNIX file systems plus the Netware volumes and associated applications. In fact, we found certain applications ran significantly more reliably under Wabi than they did under their native operating system.
For example, the Wabi interface allowed us to manipulate (independent of the ship's logging system) a Campbell Scientific Data Logger located on the forward mast via short-haul modem communications connected to the Linux desktop. Using Campbell's own data logger software under Windows 95, we found that significant drifts in the system date-time stamp of 10min/day were confusing the data logger, which is auto-adjusted to keep the data logger time in sync with the PC time. The only solution was a system restart every 6 hours or so in order for Windows 95 to grab a correct time on startup. We found that under Linux Wabi, these problems no longer existed.
The British Antarctic Survey has written custom software to allow its ships and bases to send and receive electronic mail with the rest of the world using standard Internet e-mail addresses. It was decided to write custom software so that mail could be compressed more efficiently than when using standard protocols, and this in turn reduces costs as it decreases the amount of expensive satellite air time required.
When considering all the requirements, it became clear that a system based around Sendmail running on a UNIX workstation was an almost ideal solution. This solution could be easily implemented on our ships and bases which already had Sun SPARC workstations. As for two smaller bases, it was decided to send PCs running Debian Linux. Again, Linux proved to be an inexpensive but professional solution to a problem. It would have been difficult to justify the expense of Sun SPARCs for the smaller bases, whereas it was relatively inexpensive to install Linux on a couple of older PCs which still performed well. The fact that BAS chose to use Linux to perform Antarctic communications with two of its bases shows its trust in the stability of Linux, as the communications systems are vital to the normal operation of bases.
Without Linux, the computing options for these types of operations are simple: either pay large amounts of money for proprietary systems, or suffer at the hands of a less versatile operating system. Linux changes all that. We are able to function at a professional level at a minimum cost with all of the connectivity, reliability, software choices and versatility that Linux offers. Support for Linux within the British Antarctic Survey and Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research is increasing. Indeed, it is an officially supported operating system at both institutions and not a toy which the IT hackers play with.
Many more users are requesting Linux for reasons as diverse as wanting to run geophysical processing software on remote islands in the southern Atlantic to simply wanting to run their PC as an intelligent X terminal. Today Linux offers a truly cost-effective off-the-shelf solution for all of our requirements that rivals anything else available in the marketplace. Linux is now being recognized for what it is-a truly outstanding operating system that has grown immensely over the last few years thanks to dedicated individuals and groups working in cooperation with others.

Dear Dr Ren,
I am recently single and enjoying meeting new men. Although I have been able to connect with men easily, I am a little put off by the obsession with being identified as a top or bottom. Does the position each person chooses really need to be the first thing I know? Maybe I'm alone here, but for me the decision to have penetrative sex seems rushed and shallow.
How can I have a discussion about sex where I can tell them . . . neither?
– Fish nor Fowl
Dear Fish nor Fowl,
Not only do I appreciate such a pertinent question, but I'm heartened that you realize the solution lies in communication! Funny, isn't it, that it is often more comfortable for us to engage in sexual behaviour than it is for us to talk about it?
The reasons for this are understandable, given our ambivalent cultural attitudes toward sex. We're fascinated by sex yet shy about it. Compartmentalizing our behaviours permits us the luxury of sexual release while insulating us from emotional closeness, which requires far more skill and vulnerability than many of us can handle.
In any new relationship, we risk rejection. To decrease our anxiety about that potential outcome, we start in a defensive stance and lower our barriers only as we receive positive feedback. Sensible. When the object of our desire is significant, we project even more what we hope will be well received.
When enjoying purely casual sex, however, we need to exchange only sufficient information to move recognized desire into quick consummation. This quick pace reduces the significance of potential rejection, but it also requires some complex questions to be asked and answered almost instantaneously. Hence the development of the shorthand of labels like top and bottom.
Routes to pleasure get demoted to methods to climax. When the nuances are eliminated, so are the possibilities for adventurous exploration. Foreplay is foreshortened, and coming becomes the only goal.
Without plans to develop an ongoing relationship, efficient behaviours reign. Since our limited expectations necessitate rapid arousal and release, we disregard sensual activities in favour of sexual ones.
When the goal is to get more, faster, sex with strangers is the consequence.
If you are seeking ways to have a conversation about your hopes for a successful — and pleasurable —sexual encounter without the assumption that it will end with penetrative sex, the BDSM community has developed respectful and efficient sexual negotiation skills and the language to talk about sex in various situations. You can find copious resources, including current terms and sample contracts, by exploring the BDSM blogs.
Good communication requires your awareness of what you like sexually and your willingness to risk divulging that information very early in your negotiations. It requires sufficient interest in your hookup's likes and dislikes to listen to his list and imagine how best to incorporate your wishes and his into a mutually enjoyable experience. You're then ready to discuss your options and plan your encounter.
If you find resistance to such a discussion, perhaps you are engaging in sex you don't really want, with men who are unprepared or disinclined to invest in meeting your needs.
You can ask for what you want and even demand it, but it's more difficult with anonymous partners. Nevertheless, the better you get at communicating clearly and respectfully, the easier it will be to expand the possibilities beyond fucking.
Seek guys who share your appreciation for a slower, more nuanced approach to the enjoyment of sexual excitement. Wait for those opportunities that promise fulfillment rather than instant gratification. Risk, and appreciate, personal revelation. Set your standards and stick to them. You are not alone in hoping for more authentic encounters, however brief they may be.

January 14, 2016 / in LinkedIn / by Jason Terry
Post by: Jason Terry
I had a shocking thing happen to me last week at an event downtown. I was in a room full of great companies, many of which were fairly new. The entrepreneurial spirit was alive and well in the room and I had a great time meeting people and learning about the new businesses. During the event, I was introduced to someone as "a blogger and LinkedIn Trainer".
"There's actually training for LinkedIn? I don't believe in LinkedIn. It's just a bunch of people inviting me that I don't know. Or people looking for a job. I don't have time to waste on LinkedIn."
Their attitude was dismissive to say the least. It's important to know that this person is directly involved in sales for their company and fairly high in the seniority pecking order. It's a large company with hundreds of employees. And, ironically, we've trained the executive teams and key producers employed by eight other well known companies that compete in their industry in Kansas City!
Let me take a step back for a second. We used to hear this kind of stuff more often but that was FIVE YEARS AGO. People had profiles on LinkedIn but rarely logged in to use it. People worried about putting themselves out there. Some people believed it was a fad, and some said they didn't have time for it. It was early on in the major shift that was happening in business as social media began forcing a change in the way we buy and sell products and services.
LinkedIn has been around since December 2002. That's amazing when you really think about it… LinkedIn is 14 years old as I'm writing this. Blue Gurus has been around since 2009. We've been training companies to use LinkedIn for going on 7 years now. We were teaching people how to use LinkedIn before it was cool and considered an integral part of doing business. And it was an uphill battle for years because people just didn't understand the power of relationship through LinkedIn and storytelling through blogging.
I was shocked at this person's statements in 2016 about LinkedIn. Many of you know that I'm rarely at a loss for words, but it took me a few seconds to respond. The friend who had introduced us was obviously shocked as well. My honest response would have been, "You have no idea what you're talking about. I assume you've never spent any real time or effort on LinkedIn. And I think it's interesting that you would say things like that to someone when first meeting them." Of course I didn't say that… but I wanted to.
When I told Mic about the exchange and he said something that really resonated with me:
"I can't stand people like that. They've been that way their whole career and nobody has called them on their bullshit. This person obviously hasn't used LinkedIn, but they speak confidently like they have. They mock what they don't understand."
The thing that's unfortunate is that this person has the ability to make a BIG difference in their company if they weren't so closed-minded about new ideas and methods. If the attitude I witnessed is pervasive throughout their company and culture, they're going to have a much harder time winning friends and influencing people in a very competitive market. And it's a market where their competitors are embracing LinkedIn and blogging and seeing amazing results.
My hope for everyone reading this is that you don't have people like this in your company. And don't get me wrong… I love animated conversations with passionate people about any topic. I just think it's important to be open minded and respectful when doing so.
You don't have time to waste on LinkedIn? Seriously?

Bill Maher slams Trump as 'racist Paul Revere,' talks Kanye West and Oprah
Bill Maher was sure to highlight as many headline-making names in the political circle as he could during "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday, including, of course, President Donald Trump.
During his opening monologue, the late night host slammed the president, accusing him of raising fear and alarm about a caravan of Central American migrants heading to the United States.
"Trump is like a racist Paul Revere. 'The migrants are coming! The migrants are coming!'" Maher said. "He keeps calling it an invasion. Yes, an invasion of strollers."
"Yes, the great invaders of history, Attila the Hun, Ivan the Terrible, Dora the Explorer," he joked. "Fox News treats it like it's the zombie apocalypse. But zombies eat brains, why would they be heading towards America?"
Maher also talked about Kanye West distancing himself from Trump earlier this week.
"(West) tweeted out, 'I now realize I've been used to spread a message I don't believe in.' And Kim told him he doesn't have to sleep on the couch anymore," he joked.
He also discussed Oprah Winfrey being on the campaign trail in Georgia for Democrat Stacey Abrams, who could make history by becoming the nation's first black female governor.
"(She) went door-to-door for Stacey Abrams in Georgia. Can you imagine that? Oprah coming to your door?" he said. "So far she's convinced five women to vote for Abrams and two men to put the shot gun down."

(By Rabbi Yair Hoffman for 5tjt.com)
If we delve into the prehistory of Chanukah, we learn all sorts of interesting new information. When we combine this information with Midrashim – it enhances our understanding even more. Finally, when we unearth lost midrashim – the information can be rather fascinating.
It is a sad fact that over 90% of our Midrashim have been lost. This is due primarily to the seizure of manuscripts and seforim by the Catholic Church in Europe. How do we know that this is the percentage that was lost? The answer is that it can be culled from a statistical analysis of the sheer numbers of Midrashim quoted in the Drashos of the Rishonim that are simply not there. Nine out of ten times that a Rishon cites a Midrash – it is not to be found.
Below we find a Midrash cited by the Bach that can only be found in in Eisenstadt's Otzar HaMidrashim (p. 93). Boruch Hashem, this one was not lost entirely, but others, unfortunately were.
The Bach writes (Orech Chaim 670:4):
"That evil one [Antiochus] decreed to abolish the Korban Tamid and he further said to them: They have one particular practice in their hands – if you abolish it from their hands, then they will already be lost. Which practice is it? The lighting of the Menorah – as it states, "l'haalos bah ner tamid – to light in it a constant lamp – there is a drasha the entire time that they will light it, they shall be constant – they shall always endure.
They then went and made impure all of the oils. When Klal Yisroel returned and did Teshuvah risking their lives for the Avodah – then Hashem saved them. This happened through the Kohanim – those that served Hashem. And then a miracle happened also with the lamps."
This author would like to suggest that the Midrash fits quite nicely into some of the historical background of Chanukah. Antiochus's brother was the Seleucid Greek ruler who had reigned before him. His name was Seleucus the IV Philopater. It seems that Seleucus the IV, actually had much respect for the Beis HaMikdash. He gave gifts to the Beis HaMikdash and initially allowed an exemption of his tax revenue – any Korban brought to the Beis HaMikdash. The sources indicate that it was not just him who esteemed and gave gifts to the Beis HaMikdash – his predecessors did as well.
Eventually, Seleucus IV fell under extraordinary pressure. He had lost a war with Rome and had to pay them war debt. He sent his minister Heliodorus to the Beis HaMikdash to collect money out of its treasury. In the years before the rise of Antiochus Epiphanes IV – the villain of Chanukah, Heliodorus succeeded in getting that money out of the Beis HaMikdash treasury. When he returned from Yerushalayim back to Seleucus IV – Heliodorus assassinated him!
Heliodorus then took the throne for himself. Seleucus' son should have been the true heir, but he was being held back as a hostage in Rome. Eventually, Seleucus's brother, Antiochus Epiphanes, pushed out Heliodorus and took over the Seleucid Greek Empire himself. He implemented the Hellenization process ever further.
By the way, Antiochus' original name was Mithridites. He ruled from 175 BCE to 164 BCE – a total of eleven years.
The point is that, initially, his family had some respect for the traditions of the Jewish people – to the point where they themselves gifted items to the Beis HaMikdash and exempted the Korbanos from taxes. The Midrash that tells us how Antiochus was aware of the efficacy of the Korban Tamid as well as the lighting of the Menorah – now further sheds light on the historical context behind the pre-history of Chanukah. We can also see why he may have been especially concerned with Rosh Chodesh, Bris Milah and Shabbos.
The war itself encompassed many miracles of the nature of gibborim b'yad chalashim. When we recite the Al HaNissim let us keep this in mind. Imagine, for example, the New England Patriots playing tackle football with a group of Kollel yungeleit who are masmidim – and that the Kollel yungeleit wipe the floor with them. This is the level of the miracle.
The Chashmonayim first embarked upon a series of guerilla warfare attacks on the Greeks. They then embarked upon a series of seven battles. These battles were: the Battle of Wadi Haramia (167 BC), the Battle of Beth Horon (166 BCE), the Battle of Emmaus (166 BCE), the Battle of Beth Zur (164 BCE), the Battle of Beth Zechariah (162 BCE), the Battle of Adasa (161 BCE), and the Battle of Elasa (160 BCE).
In the Battle of Adasa, General Nicanor was defeated and killed. This day, the 13th of Adar, was declared a special day by Yehudah Maccabee (See Megilas Taanis). Later it was rescinded after the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash.

Protecting Yourself From Skin Cancer
Let's face it: No one, especially a teenager or young adult lays on the beach or by the pool and frets over whether or not he or she is going to someday get skin cancer, yet it is a reality that has become more prevalent over the years.
While your skin may look gorgeous after a few hours in the sun, the damage that the powerful UV rays can potentially cause is so not worth a tan that lasts for a few days.
The summer sun can be so dangerous that it has the power to cause premature aging as well as more serious issues such as skin cancer.
Beginning Signs of Skin Cancer
There are several signs and symptoms associated with skin cancer. Keep in mind, however, that just because you experience any one of the following signs of skin cancer DOES NOT mean you actually have the disease.
The following is a list of possible signs associated with skin cancer. This is not an exhaustive list. If you notice a growth on your skin that you believe looks suspicious, consult your doctor or healthcare professional:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fever
- Pain
- Skin changes that include but are not limited to skin that is darker in appearance, jaundice, skin that is red in appearance, unusual hair growth,
Early Signs of Skin Cancer
Most cancers do not have any "early" signs. In fact, most of the time a person notices something unusual, cancer has been active for a while and is most likely in the process of causing damage.
First Early Signs of Skin Cancer
Some of the most common first signs of skin cancer include the following:
- New skin growth or change in an existing growth
- A pimple that does not heal (it tends to ooze, bleed and scab)
Signs of Melanoma Skin Cancer
Upon examination of the body for skin cancer, the dermatologist will typically compare a new skin growth with the criteria for melanoma. This criterion is known as the ABCDs of melanoma:
- Asymmetry - Is the shape of the growth even on both sides?
- Border - Is the border of the skin growth jagged or smooth?
- Color - Melanoma usually has a definite variance in color. Benign skin growths are usually one shade in color. Melanoma can have varying degrees of color and can be shades of brown and tan, black, and can even be speckled with red, white and blue.
- - Diameter - The size of the growth is also indicative of whether it is in fact melanoma.
Signs of Skin Cancer Itching
Itchiness is a common symptom of skin cancer, especially if it is a sore that does not heal and becomes a scab.
If it becomes particularly bothersome, ask your dermatologist or other health care professional to prescribe a topical cream to alleviate this particular symptom.

Consequences of climate change in Hesse
Research into climate change and possible consequences
A majority of the consequences that a changing climate might bring to Hesse (until the middle or end of the century) are described below. They are based on research projects of the Hessian agency for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology.
Possible consequences in Hesse:
Human health
Human health © Stasique / Fotolia.comQuelle: Stasique / Fotolia.com
- Increased stress of the cardio-vascular system; particularly vulnerable are older and sick people
- Increased deaths due to heat-related stress
- Increased risk of injury and death due to extreme weather events
- Increased distribution of disease-bearing animals such as ticks and mosquitos
- Increased distribution of infectious diseases
- Increased risk of infection from drinking and bathing water after floods
- Increased risk of harmful germs spreading due to warmer open water
- Increased air contamination with harmful particles (e.g. ground-level ozone and nitrous oxides)
- Increase of allergic illnesses due to increased presence of pollen and spores as well as parasites (such as oak processionary moths or mites)
- Decreased productivity
- In general, in the coming five decades decreasing yields and a high annual variability in yields is expected; the bandwidth is from –40% to +20%; for rape seed the yields will probably decrease by up to 14%, for wheat around 10%; yield increases are also possible, e.g. 5% for corn and sugar beets
- Phenological phases, for instance the onset of flowering, will come earlier
- Soil erosion in Hesse will increase by 10% (e.g. due to long dry periods and strong precipitation)
- Green feed as basis for the milk economy could become scarce in particularly dry and hot years
- Increasing amounts of carbon stored in the soil will reach the atmosphere as CO2
- The character of wine grapes could change in the wine regions of Hesse
- Fruit could be increasingly damaged by late frost, hail, and excessive sun
- Potential cultivation areas will shift north by about 200 to 400 km and to higher altitudes by around 100 to 150 meters
- Higher temperatures and (longer) dry periods in the summer threaten trees with flat roots such as firs
- Erosion increases strongly (e.g. due to long dry periods and periods of strong precipitation)
- Like it will be the case for agricultural grounds, increasing amounts of carbon stored in forest soils can reach the atmosphere as CO2
- The risk of forest fires increases
- Parasite infestation increases
Ecosystems, biodiversity and water
- Due to precipitation changes, the water level in rivers may reduce in the summer and increase in the winter
- Ground water levels may increase regionally due to greater new formation rates; but they may also decrease in summer when water is needed the most
- Local restrictions to water supply in the summer are possible
- Phenology of plants and animals, e.g. onset of flowering, egg laying, or waking from winter sleep, come earlier
- Distribution area of animal and plant types will shift to the north and higher altitudes
- Animal species which are unable to adapt to climate change or shift their habitat north / to higher elevations quickly enough will go extinct; especially moisture-loving animals and plants as well as those used to cool locations will become victims of climate change
- Moist green land and forest ecosystems in the central mountains and swamps as well as other wetland biotopes are increasingly threatened
- Predator-prey relationships will change
- New species will move into Hesse and compete with indigenous species
- Increase of pest infestation
Infrastructure, mobility and energy
- Extreme low water levels in the summer hinder shipping and the operation of large power plants or could completely shut them down
- An increasing amount of infrastructure damage and downtime (or even destruction) of complete infrastructures as well as traffic jams will be caused by extreme weather events, e.g. storms, severe precipitation, flooding, or extreme temperatures
Global developments will also have consequences in Hesse
Future changes in climate in Hesse, will have far-reaching consequences for people, all other living creatures, and the natural systems on which all life is based. In addition, it needs to be considered that climate change is global. The rise in sea levels, the breakdown of agriculture in other regions of our world, or new migrations of people fleeing from climate change in their home country, will also impact Hesse and the FrankfurtRheinMain region.

President Roxas justified the granting of privileges to American citizens in 1946, the Philippines had a Bureau of Aeronautics in 1947, President Quirino claimed that the school crisis was already solved in 1949, a railway in Mindanao and Cagayan Valley was proposed in 1952, and we were still technically at war with Japan in 1953.
The State of the Nation Address might be packed with lies, inconsistencies, and exaggerations but it remains an essential document to learn how the president views the situation in the country. More than the government's accomplishment report, we should read what the president refuses to mention in his speech. Sometimes the least cited topics are the most troubling issues in society. It's interesting how a problem that was supposedly resolved already is mentioned again by the president in his speech. It's during these moments when the Sona offers a glimpse of the truth.
Reading the Sona of past presidents is heartbreaking since it reminds us of our failure to realize our big dreams as a nation.
Manuel Roxas, June 21, 1946
"Our future is grim, brightened only by the patriotic determination of the Filipino people, to succeed, at whatever cost."
"We must agree to take steps to amend our Constitution to provide certain rights for American citizens which are now at variance with the Constitution."
"I have no fear whatsoever that the granting to American citizens of rights equal to those of Filipinos in the development of our natural resources will bring about an imperialistic exploitation of our country."
"We are a prostrate nation. The apparent well-being of some of our citizens today leads them to puff up with dignity, like the bullfrog of Aesop's Fable."

MIAMI — It used to be that when you traded for a player, you traded for his future.
Now, it's as if you're bidding on years.
With Paul George, the cost of a potential one-year rental for the Oklahoma City Thunder was the budget price of Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis to the Indiana Pacers.
With George Hill, the cost of a one-year rental for the Utah Jazz last season was the No. 22 pick in the 2016 NBA draft, with Hill this month moving on to the Sacramento Kings.
With Serge Ibaka, the cost for what proved to be a four-month rental for the Orlando Magic was, ironically, also Oladipo and Sabonis, as well as Ersan Ilyasova, to the Thunder, with Terrance Ross from the Toronto Raptors as the return on that short-term investment for the Magic.
Which brings us to Kyrie Irving and what now has been a week's worth of speculation about what the Cleveland Cavaliers can get for the disgruntled All-Star guard, if he, indeed, is to be moved on per his request.
Initial reports, including the one Friday from ESPN, was a series of underwhelming proposals forwarded to the Cavaliers.
But that's where the dynamic has changed, even with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert going on the record about the Pacers' limited return on George with, "I will say Indiana could have done better than they did."
Yes, George as future asset was worth far more than the Pacers received.
Just as a similar argument could have been made with Ibaka, who ultimately wound up with a three-year, $65 million deal with the Raptors, a price that might have proven too rich for the Thunder or the Magic.
Or with Hill, who received $57 million over three seasons from the Kings, albeit with a limited guarantee in that third season.
At another time, securing a player in a trade instead of free agency was particularly valued, because you then could exceed the salary cap with Bird Rights to ensure a continued relationship.
Now there is enough money in the system, even with this summer nothing like the 2016 offseason, that players can move on and still find ample salaries without Bird Rights.
Which leads back to Irving, and whether the offers have come down to bidding on two seasons of his services.
"The X-factor is if a guy is going to leave," an official with an Eastern Conference team said. "You're just not going to mortgage the future or the house for a potentially disastrous situation, where the guy leaves.
A look at the NBA free-agency class of 2017 with Stephen Curry, Gordon Hayward, Blake Griffin and Kyle Lowry.
"In Oklahoma City, it's very interesting, whether an L.A. guy (George) is going to stay there for the duration. I think this is a new dynamic."
It is not unusual for teams to seek guidance from a player or his agent about future plans. Yet Irving has been linked to suitors not necessarily on his wish list. In such cases, the only givens are the two seasons left on his contract before he can opt out in the 2019 offseason.
For the Heat, such a gambit might make sense with Goran Dragic, who can opt out in the 2019 offseason, as well. That also would be when Justise Winslow could enter free agency, depending on his intervening rookie-scale options. The Heat, of course, went public Friday that no such offer is on the table.
But there are offers. And there are teams willing to take a risk in essentially purchasing a two-year Irving timeshare, just as the Thunder have with this possible one-and-done season with George.
"It's also about teams taking a chance," said the Eastern Conference team official, not authorized by his team to comment publicly on such matters. "You only get so many chances to win a championship, so you say, 'We're going to take a chance.' But you're also hedging your bets.
Sun Sentinel Miami Heat writer Ira Winderman answers your burning questions about the team.

CHALMERS ON KYRIE-LEBRON: Former Heat point guard Mario Chalmers offered unique perspective on the Kyrie Irving situation this past week on Sirius XM NBA Radio when it came to what it is like being a LeBron James teammate. "It can be tough sometimes, just because he's such a dominant player. He's the best player in the NBA," said Chalmers, who spent four seasons alongside James with the Heat. "So it boils down to the coach. Is the coach going to get everybody else involved? Or he's going to let 'Bron decide when he wants to get everybody else involved. So that's the little things that were going back and forth with Miami. But as a teammate? He's a great teammate. I've never had any problems. Even when we had that one argument on the court, it's just that at the end of the day we're still brothers. We were over that after it already happened. And the media made it more than what it was. So, I can't say he's a bad teammate. He's a great teammate, a great dude. And when you're a guy like Kyrie, and you're young and you're the man, I could see him wanting to be traded, to be on his own team. But I don't think it's as personal as what everybody's trying to make it seem." After missing all of last season due to the torn Achilles suffered the previous season, Chalmers recently signed a minimally guaranteed contract to return to the Memphis Grizzlies.
FEEL THE BURN: While holding his basketball camp in Canada, recent Heat acquisition Kelly Olynyk told Kamloops This Week he will make a point of feeling the burn this season in South Florida. "I'm going to have to work on my tan a little bit before I get out there," he said. "It's going to be nice. Coming from here and moving to Gonzaga [in Spokane, Wash.] and Boston, the winters have not been warm." Olynyk said this season is about growth, after finishing on top of the Eastern Conference regular-season standings last season with the Boston Celtics. "Hopefully I get a great opportunity down in Miami to keep growing and keep improving," he said, "and maybe a little more opportunity to play a little more and keep growing, rather than looking at plateauing."
THE OTHER SIDE: Willie Reed is approaching his free-agency shift from the Heat to the Los Angeles Clippers as a move to a parallel universe, comparing Clippers coach Doc Rivers to Erik Spoelstra and Clippers center DeAndre Jordan to Hassan Whiteside. "Doc specifically told me that he just really loves the energy that I bring and then what I bring on the defensive end," Reed told Basketball Insiders. "It was kind of similar to the Heat and what coach Spoelstra wanted. He was telling me that he wanted to be able to have 48 minutes of a DeAndre-type of player out there, which was kind of what coach Spoelstra wanted for 48 minutes of Hassan out there. I felt like it was a comfortable position and it was kind of similar to the role that I played in Miami, so it wouldn't be difficult for me to adjust."
BLAST FROM PAST: Something you likely did not expect to see in 2017: Rasual Butler was dealt this past week in exchange for Moochie Norris. Yes, the same Rasual drafted by the Heat in 2002. Butler, 38, is playing in the halfcourt Big 3 league. Then again, we're talking about a league where former Heat forward Rashard Lewis is the leading scorer and former Heat guard Mike Bibby leads in assists. Oh, and Bibby also leads the league in 4-pointers, with five.

Why Install Ambler Surge Protection?
Ambler surge protection is something every home should have especially if the homeowner wants to preserve the quality of their appliances. The fact is that the electricity passing through a home is not always constant. It can go up and down due to power outages, downed lines or a strong power usage from the industrial sector.
Although homeowners might not always detect these inconsistencies in their electricity, there are definitely disadvantages to this type of electrical problem. This is why most homes today are advised to install surge protectors in order to prevent damages that most Ambler homeowners do not anticipate. Following are some advantages of installing this device in the house.
Damaged Appliances
Most electronics today come with a vital ingredient called microprocessors. They are present in computers, fax machines, printers and other top of the line items. Unfortunately, a microprocessor can be very sensitive to power surges, causing it to malfunction should electricity surge due to uncontrollable reasons. When this happens, homeowners would need to start calling electricians in order to replace the microprocessors or even replace the whole unit entirely. With a surge protector, this type of problem can be avoided.
Resale Value
Having a surge protection installed in a home is definitely something that would increase its sale value. Prospective buyers would view this as one less thing to worry about and would have no problem shelling the extra cash needed.
Save Money
In this day and age don't take the risk of all your appliances and electronic equipment blowing out because of something that could have been easily prevented by a simple electrical surge protection installation. Not to mention the amount of time and effort it would take to purchase all new very expensive items. Suffice to say, it would be a smart financial move for Ambler homeowners to install the surge protector instead of waiting for something like this to happen.
Keep in mind that there are several types of surge protectors being sold today. There are those that are specially made for the whole home while others are just for specific items. It is recommended that homeowners opt for a full-house protector so that they can be assured of 100% peace of mind should some things happen beyond their control. Note that since Ambler surge protection deals with electricity, it is always best to call a professional for help.

Update (August 4, 2016) – Doty was sentenced to four years at the Indiana Department of Corrections, three years executed to be served on in home detention.
HOWARD COUNTY, Ind. (September 23, 2015) – A Kokomo woman was charged Monday for a drunk driving crash that resulted in the death of her passenger.
Brittany R. Doty, 27, turned herself in to the Howard County Jail at 12:35 p.m. on September 21. She is being held on a $12,000 bail.
On March 27 around 3:15 a.m., sheriff deputies were called to an accident in the area of 200 South and 400 East.
Doty was driving a gray Saturn with three passengers when she crashed the car into a creek.
Doty and two of the passengers were able to get out of the car on their own, but the third passenger, Joseph S. Turon, 22, was stuck in the rear passenger seat.
Paramedics and members of the Taylor Fire Department entered the water and attempted to locate Turon, but they were unable to find him.
Around 4 a.m., a tow truck pulled the car out of the creek, and medics located Turon. He was in the backseat, still wearing his seatbelt. He was transported to Community Howard Hospital, and he later died from his injuries.
Deputies smelled alcohol on Doty's breath at the scene of the crash. Doty consented to a blood test.
On September 4, a deputy following up on the fatal crash was notified that Doty's BAC level at the time of the crash was .10. At that time, deputy's requested a warrant for Doty's arrest.
Court documents show that Doty faces one count of causing death when operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a level 5 felony, one count operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a class C misdemeanor, and one count operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a class A misdemeanor.
Her initial hearing is set for September 29.

Noting that the term "We are in uncertain times" is trotted out regularly, and has been in common usage for decades, Geoff Lindsay of Thurgoona asks: "When are, or were, these 'certain times' that everyone dreams of?"
Now that he is working from home, John Rand of Belrose is beginning to keep a list of things he would not normally see during a workday. "Today I had a kookaburra in the tree, banging the large mouse (or small rat) it held in its beak against a branch. Never seen that in the office." A fair point, however most office workers would probably have identified with that large mouse's situation at one time or another.
Gaz Simpson of Edgecliff is delighted to find that at his advanced age he is still capable of assuming the role of hunter-warrior. "I returned from the Elderly Only Supermarket Jungle at 7.30am this morning with a 'catch' including toilet rolls, paper towels and tissues. As a result, I have achieved a certain heroic status which, I believe, is well deserved."
Michael Payne of West Pymble relates a story about a responsible friend of his who was shopping and came across a man with a trolley loaded full of pasta and sauce. "My friend took the man to task, then the man replied, 'Can I get on with replenishing the shelves now?'"
Regarding John Kratovil's rice (C8), Ian Eastman of Turramurra wonders if John "has furthered his research by weighing each individual grain of rice to ascertain consistency with the claimed 125 grams?"
Peter Riley of Penrith has found a way for passing the time that he says is surprisingly addictive. "Log on to the Abbey Road zebra crossing webcam. With London in lockdown it seems the wildlife are taking advantage. Yesterday at around 2am London time I saw a fox strolling along the footpath. If I watch long enough he just might cross the road with three of his mates."
Another with plenty of spare time on her hands, Heather Lindsay of Woonona has been trying to figure out what type of person would always be suitably prepared with supplies and familiar to isolation and "thought of lighthouse keepers. Are there any left in this world of automation?"
And to close the column with a groan (C8), Graham Carter of Eglinton submits: "Why are car dealers struggling at this time? Because people are afraid of getting the 'new car-owner virus'."
No attachments, please.
Include name, suburb and daytime phone.

Last night, I was on the floor of the Connecticut House of Representatives in a familiar position.
As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I was taking the fight to the NRA. This time, I was leading the debate to ban bump stocks in our state.
The gun lobby and Trump Republicans in Connecticut fought us with everything they had.
We fought back, and we won. The legislation passed and moved onto the Senate.
We have been down this road before. I have taken on the powerful gun lobby in Connecticut and beaten them, time and time again.
I helped pass the strongest gun laws in the nation after the tragedy at Sandy Hook. I took the lead in passing Lori Jackson's Law to take guns away from domestic abusers. Now I am working to get dangerous bump stocks and ghost guns off the streets.
In these uncertain times, we need leaders that are battle-tested and have a proven record of fighting for our values.
I am running for Attorney General so I can continue the fight against the gun lobby and protect families throughout Connecticut.
We can't let them get anyway with this anymore.
Stand with me by signing up at www.williamtong.com or text "TeamTong" at 41411 to show your support.
Thank you for everything you have done, and see you on the campaign trail soon.

Yesterday, I chaired a nearly 14-hour long Judiciary Committee public hearing on bills that would further strengthen Connecticut's gun laws by banning bump stocks and ghost guns. Today across the country, hundreds of thousands of students will take to the street to fight for safe schools and safe communities.
After years of inaction in Congress, students are taking up the mantle of activism. Over the past week, I've met many of them from Southbury and Westport, Bridgeport and Hartford. We should follow their example.
I have always taught my two daughters and son that they could change the world---that if they saw wrong, they could right it.
The marches today are exactly what makes this country great. It shows us that good and decent people, no matter how old they are, can make our country better and stronger.
Students are showing us again the power of activism and I am inspired by them to do more.
In Connecticut, we have stood up to the NRA to pass some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, including laws to protect victims of domestic violence by taking guns away from their abusers. But Congress must take action to prevent the next deadly shooting whether it's in a school, on the street, or in a movie theater.
Today, we march.
Tomorrow, we make real and lasting change for the safety of the next generation.

Last week we released our first video and we wanted to make sure you got a chance to watch it. It tells the powerful story of Merry Jackson and her family who lost their daughter, Lori, to gun violence and fought back against the NRA.
Alongside fighters like Merry, William has stood up to powerful forces like the NRA throughout his career in the legislature and beat them.

The Stamford Democratic City Committee, which will send 67 delegates to the Connecticut State Democratic Convention in May, recently passed a resolution encouraging William to seek statewide office. We know William, we know his record, and we know his commitment to doing what's right even in the face of enormous odds. We want to share William's record, his tenacity, his fight, and his public servant's heart with the rest of Connecticut.
William Tong has represented Stamford for over a decade in the General Assembly. He upset a Republican in a tough district, holding a difficult swing seat each election. He won because he knew how to fight for the people of his district. His work fighting against the powerful on behalf of the people he represents is unparalleled.
He has taken on leadership roles first as the Chairman of the Banking Committee and then as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Several recent chairs of the Judiciary Committee have gone on to serve in a statewide capacity. William is prepared and ready to lead.
William took on these fights alongside Connecticut's families in the name of fairness, justice, and because it was the right thing to do.
He has made the people of Stamford proud.
Join us in encouraging William to run this year for statewide office.

I wanted to thank you again for helping me raise over $100,000 last quarter. Thanks to you, we are off to a strong start as we take one step closer to bringing an experienced hand to statewide office in CT.
This year will be a crucial year for our country and our beloved state. Now more than ever, it is time to make our voices heard. I know that you, like me, believe in a better and more inclusive America, one that will make our children proud. The hateful rhetoric and destructive policies of President Donald Trump are antithetical to the America I believe in, the America my parents came to in order to build a better life for my family.
I have spent 11 years in Hartford working with the Attorney General as Chair of the Banking Committee and more recently as the Chair of the Judiciary Committee to help secure a fair and just legal system in our state. In these difficult times, I see enormous opportunity. This is the year we can strive to create a better future for Connecticut.
We are picking up momentum early, and I hope to continue surpassing our goals with your tremendous support. I am ready to fight for you, will you join me?

Shokker adding second guitarist to line-up
Shokker adding second guitarist to line-up
Chicago, Illinois, USA heavy metal rockers Shokker have announced via a Facebook post by the band's drummer Dan Dash that they are working a second guitarist into the line-up to complement current guitarist Casey Tremont. Shokker had announced yesterday that they would be undergoing a couple of major changes. Presumably the departure of frontwoman
Rachl "Raxx" Quinn (announced on July 9, 2018) is one major change and the addition of a second guitarist would constitute another one.
The following was posted in part on Dan Dash's (known as "Dan Dacz") Facebook page earlier today:
"We had an amazing Shokker rehearsal tonight, working in another guitar player to shred alongside Casey. Sounds fucking HUGE ?"
Sleaze Roxx stated the following in its review of Shokker's full-length album III and specifically the guitar playing on the record: "As I started listening to Shokker's debut full-length album III, all I could think was potential, potential, potential. It's also what I was thinking when I first heard Shokker's self-titled EP about one and a half years ago except that at that time, I did not think that Shokker had truly tapped into and harnessed their potential. There were some kinks to fix including reigning in guitar virtuoso Casey Tremont, who perhaps if left to his own devices would have delivered an over the top guitar shred fest like superbly gifted guitar maestro Vinnie Vincent did on Vinnie Vincent Invasion's self-titled debut album. The good news is that this time, Shokker have lived up to and harnessed their potential as Tremont (or perhaps the rest of the band) has pulled the brakes on his guitar shredding to give us tasty snippets at the appropriate times on III rather than killer shredding firing occasionally at the wrong times like on the band's debut self-titled EP."

Sekiro How to Upgrade Healing Gourd and Who To Talk To
Healing is a vital mechanic in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. You need to utilize it to stand a chance against the tougher enemies, and when players make a simple mistake, they're not going to lose a large chunk of their health in the middle of a boss fight because of this mistake. When you start the game, you only have access to one healing gourd. However, as time goes on you're going to have the opportunity to drink more healing gourds. Here's how you do it.
Sekiro's Healing Gourd
Who To Talk To
After the prologue, you're going to wake up in the sculptor's workshop. You're going to walk outside, and immediately to your right, you're going to see a woman standing there. Her name is Emma, and she's going to be the individual you speak to expand your Healing Gourd uses. You don't need currency to expand your gourd uses, but you do need gourd seeds, which are difficult to find. For every gourd seed you locate, you increase your healing gourd uses by one.
Finding the Seeds
The most effective way to locate the gourd seeds is by defeating bosses. One of the first bosses, Samurai General Naomori, is going to have one on him. Beating him is no easy task. After you've taken him down, you can loot a gourd seed, which you can take back to Emma.
You can also find gourd seeds hidden in Ashina, or an NPC merchant may have one for sale.
You don't have to do this immediately, and you can return to her at any time. Dying while holding the seed in your inventory does not get rid of it.
If you need to replenish your healing gourd, visit a Sculptor's Idol to refill it. However, doing so also resets all of the enemies.

Amid growing political tensions at home – and increasing exasperation in Europe – the Greek government insisted today that it was finally exiting years of recession as it presented parliament with its 2014 budget.
Ahead of a highly anticipated meeting between the Greek prime minister, Antonis Samaras, and the EU's most powerful leader, Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel, Athens' ruling alliance announced that it expected the country's defunct economy to grow by 0.6% next year
"The sacrifices of the Greek people are paying off," said the deputy finance minister, Christos Staikouras, after finance minister Yannis Stournaras had submitted the bill, adding that the debt-stricken nation would – for the first time in more than a decade – post a primary surplus in 2013.
In further good news, Staikouras revealed that the budget balance – exclusive of interest payments – was expected to exceed €810m, a long-cherished target that would make the country eligible for much needed debt relief. At almost €320bn, Greece's gargantuan debt load is by far the highest in the western world.
Presentation of the 250-page budget came as Athens concluded strained negotiations with the EU, European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF), the international bodies that have kept its economy afloat with bailouts worth €240bn since May 2010.
After more than two months of on-off talks, the lenders – known collectively as the "troika" – wrapped up a quarterly review of Greece's economic programme saying that while progress had been made, "a few issues remained outstanding".
Elsewhere, the criticism was more blunt. "Many finance ministers of the Eurozone are starting to lose patience [with Greece]," said Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch Eurogroup president, echoing the growing disgruntlement that has returned to haunt the country's ties with its creditors.
In sharp contrast to other rescued nations on the periphery of Europe, "Greece still has plenty of work to do", he told the Greek daily Ta Nea, referring to mass layoffs in the public sector, privatisations and other structural reforms Athens has so far put off adopting.
Much of the rancour has focused on the size of a fiscal gap which by 2014 the troika estimates could be as much as €2.9bn. The budget black hole, which opens the prospect of yet more austerity being imposed on a population that has already seen its disposable income drop by 40% since the eruption of the crisis, has placed Samaras's two-party coalition under increasing pressure.
With a four-seat majority in the 300-seat house, MPs have signalled they will vote down extra measures if called upon to pass them. In addition to slashing 25,000 civil servant jobs by 2015, foreign lenders are demanding that the government dismantle the country's loss-making defence industry, close more than 100 public sector organisations and enact a new round of across-the-board pay and pension cuts.
This week, in one of the most dramatic signs of the toll the debt drama has had, the National School of Public Health said the life expectancy of Greeks had dropped from 81 to 78 years since the crisis began. Unemployment is over 27% and poverty levels have also shot up.
In a climate that has become increasingly volatile, the prospect of further belt-tightening has not only sent tensions soaring within the government – which narrowly survived a no-confidence motion on 10 November – but has been met with bitter hostility from the anti-austerity political opposition, led by the radical left Syriza party, currently frontrunner in polls.
Yesterday the party's leader, Alexis Tsipras, joined cleaners protesting against dismissals outside the finance ministry where he vowed that "when we are in government, together we will clean the troika away".
With the rhetoric at such heights, the ruling coalition is refusing outright to implement further cuts.
Stournaras, who has described fresh measures as "dangerous and unnecessary", is adamant the shortfall can be covered by improved tax collection and better management of the social security system.
In a bid to defuse the stand-off, Samaras is expected to appeal to Merkel to intervene when he holds talks with the German chancellor in Berlin on Friday. The prime minister will tell Europe's most powerful leader that Greece's political stability will be put at risk if it is made to adopt more austerity, aides said. On the eve of the talks Merkel sounded upbeat, telling a business conference that changes Greece had implemented were "absolutely remarkable".
But her spokesman warned against over expectation, saying Samaras's visit to Berlin was more about informing the leader than negotiating with her.
