Just over a week ago, Wikipedia announced that it would now be accepting donations in form of bitcoins. The first week of of the new donation system is over and according to Coinbase, Wikipedia made a solid $140.000 worth of donations in bitcoin during that time.
"The news as suggest the staying power of digital currency donations, owing to the combination of tax benefits and transaction cost savings." said CoinDesk, a publication that tracks digital currencies.
Wikipedia itself doesn't plan to keep the donated bitcoins, but rather convert them into dollars as they get them. Having raised 19.7 million in overall donations last year, the new 140 thousand doesn't sound like much. But considering that they got it in just one week, makes the whole things somewhat more of an accomplishment.
Coinbase, the company used by Wikipedia, doesn't charge non-profit organisations any transaction fees. So all donations will go directly and fully to Wikipedia.
We've seen massive bursts of donations before when companies and groups start to accept them, but over time they start to fade out. We can most likely expect the same here. Wikipedia being run on pure donations, will surely be very happy about each and every donation they get, digital or traditional.
Thank you TechCrunch for providing us with this information.

Stable isotopic composition, stoicometry and origin of Siliceous dolomite of naqb siwa member Bahariya oasis, Egypt
البيانات الوصفيةعرض كامل للتسجيلة
The Lower Campanian Naqb Siwa member exposed near Bahariya Oasis, Egypt, is a shoal ing-upward dolomite sequence that hosts chert nodules and lenses and cavity fillings of quartz and calcite. Dolomite is dominantly replacive, but also includes pore-filling cement. Slightly negative 818O compositions (average -2.2 %o PDB), and oxygen covariation with Na and Sr contents, reflect dolomitization in the presence of variable meteoric-marine fluid mixtures. However, isotopic and trace element values of dolomite rhombs in chert nodules reflect the signature of marine conditions. MgCO3 contents correlate positively with 818O and negatively with Sr contents. A sequence of five diagenetic events is recorded by relations between various authigenic phases. These are: 1) partial dolomitization by marine fluids; 2) early silicification and replacement of original carbonate sediments; 3) complete dolomitization of the carbonate sediments in mixed marine-meteoric fluids; 4) silicification and dolomite cementation; and 5) precipitation of void-filling meteoric calcite (mean 618O = -9.6 %o PDB).

Opinion: Epithets reveal little about campus bigotry
At the University of Connecticut two students recently shouted racial and ethnic epithets that were not directed at any specific individuals. Nothing in what has been reported about the incident indicates that the students intended physical harm to anyone.
Nevertheless, students at the university claimed that one of the uttered epithets, an especially ugly one plainly derogatory of African-Americans, had caused them to feel "unsafe" at the university. Believing themselves physically threatened, they and members of the faculty demanded formal punishment of the two students.
In the opinion of the protestors, the epithet that robbed them of their safety confirmed their conviction — which evidently is also that of the president of the university, Thomas C. Katsouleas — that the University of Connecticut is rife with prejudice and bigotry redolent of the "institutional racism" and "white supremacy" that are presumed to be endemic not only on college and university campuses but in American society as a whole.
One must bear in mind the slender reed on which this contention is based. Two students at a university with a total enrollment of 32,000 uttered words that were heard by virtually no one. Moreover, the epithets demeaning other minorities neither President Katsouleas nor the students nor any of the faculty supporting them considered sufficiently objectionable to condemn.
If one takes the protesting students at their word, President Katsouleas should explain to the people of Connecticut, who underwrite the cost of an 11-member "team" in his administration devoted exclusively to fostering "diversity and inclusion," how any students at UConn could possibly believe themselves to be "unsafe."
At the same time, it seems appropriate to ask how many more African-Americans on the faculty, how many more academic courses devoted to racial diversity, and how many more "guidelines" for rooting out and punishing the perpetrators of "hate speech" — as demanded by the UConn NAACP — would be sufficient to ensure the students' safety? Years ago, when racism was common, this function was performed easily enough by campus police.
However hateful, the epithets uttered by the two students reveal very little about bigotry in the university itself, and exactly nothing about racism in America — other than that mounds of additional evidence are required to prove its ubiquity.
Indeed, the nationwide affirmative action preferences that discriminate in favor of minorities supposedly victimized by such racism would seem to disprove its existence. Surely the racists who presumably are in charge of America today would not put in place policies that benefit people they consider racially inferior. But since that is precisely what they have done, they cannot be racist.
Are there racists in America? Of course. In a population of 330 million, how could there not be? Is America racist in its institutions, its values, and its aspirations? Absolutely not.
But students indoctrinated in the pathological hatred of America afflicting college faculties today have no way of even considering assertions such as these because they are told that anyone who believes that America is not a racist country is either a racist himself or is simply a fool.
The result is the ridiculous conviction that ideas alone can be physically injurious, and that any adverse emotional effect they might cause is intolerable.
But students who are rendered emotionally discombobulated by speech that disturbs them — to the point where university administrators feel compelled to assuage them by acquiescing to demands that are unwarranted — ignore the reality that being offended is a part of life.
In fact, there are circumstances when the offense one feels is beneficial. At a university, where students encounter ideas that are new and unfamiliar, this experience, while initially unsettling and even disturbing, can be the first step to enlightenment and the acquisition of knowledge. Only when offensive views are aired can students conjure arguments refuting them. But this cannot happen when college students are treated as helpless children incapable of responding responsibly to adversity.
The contrast between students unable to endure mere words and the men and women in our armed forces, who risk their lives for our country, is a stark one.
Sadly, it also speaks volumes about the immaturity of far too many students at the University of Connecticut, and about the infinite capacity of their enablers on the faculty and in the administration to believe that membership in one particular race or ethnicity confers moral virtue based on victimhood, while membership in another renders one a bigot and a racist.

Greece gets closer to the brink: Merkel and Sarkozy to hold talks over debt crisis
- Fears grow of an imminent debt default by Greece
- Markets factor in a 90 per cent chance default will happen
- Credit rating agency Moody's downgrades two French banks
- U.S. and China urge stop crisis spreading
This afternoon the leaders of Greece (George Papandreou, pictured), France and Germany are to discuss ways to contain the debt crisis and prevent it from further shaking up global financial markets
As fears grow of an imminent debt default by Greece world leaders have urged Europe to prevent the euro area debt crisis from spiralling out of control.
Both U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao have issued warnings about the implications of a default.
President Obama said 'more effective co-ordinated fiscal policy' is needed by the euro area states and Mr Wen said Beijing was willing to help, but Europe must stop the crisis from growing.
This afternoon Greece, France and Germany are to discuss ways to contain the debt crisis and prevent it from further shaking up global financial markets.
Fears in recent days that Greece was heading rapidly towards a chaotic default have sent the interest rates on 10-year government bonds soaring to new record highs.
Today they were 25.3 per cent, more than 23 points higher than the German equivalent, suggesting investors have all but given up on Greece being able to fix its public finances.
The main fear of a Greek bankruptcy is that it could destabilise other financially troubled European countries, potentially causing a defaults in Portugal, Ireland, Spain or Italy. It would also have a knock-on effect on banks, many of which are which are large holders of Greek government bonds.
Moody's rating agency downgraded the credit ratings of two French banks, Societe Generale and Credit Agricole, after a period of huge volatility in the markets as investors fret about exposure to Greek debt.
However, the downgrade seems to have sparked some optimism on the market. After a shaky start to trading, the FTSE 100 is up 93 points at 5267, the Nasdaq up 1.49 per cent, the French CAC up 1.98 per cent and German DAX up 1.98 per cent.
Credit Agricole is also up around 3.1 per cent.
Italy meanwhile gave final approval to a 54billion euro austerity package today, although the plan has so far done little to reverse investor alarm over whether the country can manage its debts.
Rome was dragged deeper into the crisis yesterday, with borrowing costs hitting a record high at a crucial bond auction as confidence in the nation's finances tumbled.
Relief: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi shakes hands in Rome after Italy's parliament gave final approval to an austerity package
A Greek exit from the single currency would lead to 'financial and economic disaster', Citigroup has warned. The main fear is a full debt default could de-stabilise other financially troubled European countries, potentially causing a domino effect of defaults in Portugal, Ireland, Spain or Italy.
The eurozone is the UK's major trading partner and the shockwaves of this could easily send the UK tumbling back into recession and markets back into turmoil reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis.
Britain could be hit with losses of up to £366billion from the collapse of the Greek economy. The potential devastation of banks and other City institutions would be equal to 24 per cent of our annual national output, or £14,640 for every family in the UK, according to Fathom Financial Consulting.
The real danger to British banks from Greece is not direct exposure but the unknown contagion effect.
British banks say they have 'only' £2.5billion of exposure to Greek government debt, while the Bank of England says the potential losses would be £8billion. Royal Bank of Scotland, 83 per cent owned by the UK taxpayer, has set aside £733million for losses on its £1.4billion holdings of Greek bonds.
But more importantly, Greek default could bring events to a head in the far bigger economies of Italy and Spain, where British banks have greater exposure. Meanwhile, the cost of borrowing on international markets would spike, laying the conditions for credit crisis II.
The industry remains in a fragile state after the last banking collapse and further big losses would once again raise fears about solvency. Last time, the Government was forced to step in to save vast swathes of the industry. To do so again would pulverize public finances and leave the Government's financial credibility in tatters. That outcome would eventually take the UK down the same route as southern Europe and Ireland, with international markets demanding far more drastic cuts than the Coalition would dream of doing by choice.
In terms of direct bailouts, its' all down to the European Union and the IMF. Chancellor George Osborne has insisted Britain would not contribute any more money to Greece.
The British Government has a relatively small direct exposure to Greek government debt, standing at roughly $3billion.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government tabled a confidence motion which have would force it to resign if it lost the austerity vote.
Credit markets are already factoring in a 90 per cent chance of a Greek default.
In a three-way conference call later today, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French president Nicolas Sarkozy will press Athens to honour its national austerity pledges in return from more bail-out cash from Europe.
The alternative, the Greek government is being warned, is national bankruptcy and a rupture in the single currency.
Greece has warned it will run out of cash in a few weeks and needs an 8 billion euro tranche next month to pay wages and pensions.
It follows the crippling downgrading of two French banks this morning because of their exposure to Greek debt by credit rating agency Moody's.
Credit Agricole was cut from Aa1 to Aa2 and Societe Generale from Aa2 to Aa3. This morning, shares in the two giants fell 4 per cent.
A third bank, BNP Paribas, was kept on review for a possible downgrade. The move has raised fears of a fresh crisis in the banking sector.
However, in the face of speculation about a Greek exit from the euro, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso insisted the answer to the growing threat to the currency was a more, not less, integrated European Union.
Speaking before he addressed the European Parliament, Mr Barroso said the debt crisis has turned into a 'fight for European integration'.
He said: 'This is a fight for the jobs and prosperity of families in all our member states.
'This is a fight for the economic and political future of Europe.
'This is a fight for what Europe represents in the world. This is a fight for European integration itself.'
He defended the Greek government - widely accused of failing to implement planned austerity measures - saying it had taken significant steps to deliver on its commitments.
But UKIP leader Nigel Farage slammed the 'Troika' as a group of 'part-time overseas dictators' telling the Greeks what to do.
He said: 'Unless Greece is allowed to get out of this economic and political prison, you may well spark a revolution in that country.'
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg today dismissed suggestions that Britain should take the opportunity presented by the crisis to renegotiate its relations with the EU.
He said: 'On a day like today, when people have been talking openly about the possibility of a Greek default, the key question is not, how do we seek to renegotiate the United Kingdom's place in the European Union in a threat that hasn't even materialised yet.'
Greek prime minister George Papandreou is expected to ask Germany and France for the debt swap to go ahead. It was a key part in a planned, second bailout for the cash-strapped country which was agreed by EU leaders in July.
Under its provisions, private investors are expected to share the cost of the rescue plan, by exchanging their Greek government bonds with longer-maturity, lower-coupon paper.

The Centre for Economics and Business Research said it had modelled good and bad scenarios and Italy could not support its debt even if bond rates fall back - unless the eurozone's third-largest economy sharply increases growth.
Low growth in Italian is causing grave problems for the Government in financing its national debt, which stands at a massive 120 per cent of GDP.
The recent hikes in the rates Italy has had to pay investors to take government debt off their hands is an unsettling echo of the pressures that forced Ireland, Greece and Portugal to seek a rescue from eurozone partners and the IMF and raised the prospect that the country could actually default on their debts.
For heavily indebted eurozone members, seven per cent is the 'line of death'.
That is the yield on Government bonds - the price demanded by investors - above which the country concerned is believed to be in deep trouble.
Italy's at the moment stands at a record 5.6 per cent.
Greek newspaper Kathimerini said without citing sources: 'The PM will ask the two leaders to increase pressure to their banks to the take part in the PSI (private-sector involvement)'
The conference call between Mr Papandreou, Mr Sarkozy and Mrs Merkel is scheduled to take place at about 4pm.
Greek finance minister Evangelos Venizelos has asked his counterparts in 57 countries to tell him by September 9 how many of their banks intend to take part in the debt swap.
Greece has said it might cancel the transaction if less than 90 per cent of bondholders take part.
Bankers said last week the take-up rate was at about 70 per cent.
Kathimerini reported, also without citing any sources, that Venizelos told a government meeting on Tuesday 27 countries, including some large European ones, have not yet responded.
The euro has declined against the dollar and yen due to concern over Greece's debt problems which will raise borrowing costs for other countries in the region.
The euro fell 0.5 per cent to 104.75 yen this morning in London from 105.25 in New York yesterday -it reached 103.90 on Sept. 12, the lowest since June 2001.

Here's a cow who knows how to cool off on a hot day: Take a dip in the pool! While the other cows are all trying to squeeze into that one little shady spot at the corner of the pasture, Bessie has decided to take a cue from the human set and go for a swim instead.
The video doesn't show just how the cow managed to get into the pool, but it's rather interesting how the police got her out. It took several people and a ramp, but they rescued the animal without incident.
One thing's for sure. That family must have had their work cut out for them cleaning out the pool after their "guest" left!

Somebody necessarily aid to make seriously articles I may state. That is the really 1st time I frequented your web page and to this point? I surprised with the research you made to make this actual put up incredible. Wonderful task!
A couple of hlpsoees idiots interpreting a study done on just over 100 people. oy!Anyone who has addressed a serious weight problem and maintained their loss eats low carb, higher fat diet.It is a scientific fact that dietary fat is essential in the diet. Humans can not survive without it. In contrast, carbohydrates are 100% non essential. You can never consume a carb (not including fiber) and survive. I do not get the whole healthy carb craze in US nutrition. Healthier, not healthy.
Read my books on the subject of global warming where I refuted Al Gore in books published between 2006 and 2008. I show a graph of the global temperature over the last 4500 years. Books publishedBeyond Global WarmingFacts and Myths Facing Today's WorldCrises of The 21st Century.They show what is really the things more important than controlling CO2 etc. Mainly focused on the lost of oil and its derivatives by 2037. No way to fly an airplane above 5000 feet economically. Liquid Natural Gas too heavy and inefficient for commercial flights.John Durbin Husher
is my impression that self-employment is not well represented in this sort of statistic. I am told the phone survey is a better measure.Congrats on your successes.echidne I got as far as your first ad hominem before stopping. Unfortunately that was before any content was displayed.
HA you do realize Ford's qliauty has went to shit. How about you check the LATEST JD Powers initial qliauty. I believe they dropped from 6th to 23rd if I remember correctly. Check out all the transmission failures Mustang owners are having. Pretty pathetic when the car hasn't even been out a year yet.
Lesa, this is over the top! And I mean over the top, especially with the dulce de leche, I just want to take my finger and get some of the drops that ran off the brownie, you don't mind do you? Pinning!
I´m sorry you´re feeling down. Have you thought of posting on your local craig´s list to see if someone has an old keyboard and mouse they don´t need? I know we have several just collecting dust. If postage weren´t an arm and a leg I´d send you one.
J'ai la gorge serrée en vous lisant George et toi. J'ai acheté le livre sur le seul prénom qui m'est cher mais la 4 de couv n'expliquait rien! Je comprends très bien votre réaction!
Kindle EspañaLa clave de la tinta electrónica es que no cansa la vista,es igual que leer un libro de papel.Fuera de eso, entiendo que me venden otro producto.Si quiero "navegar",ver fotos, revistas,comics, tengo mi ordenador, smartphone o en el futuro una tableta.

Every year, many young local artists, some of them still in school or just out, catch our eye. Here, in alphabetical order, are four who might just be showing up on future top-10 lists.
Even though he was still completing his studies at U of T's Centre for Drama, the Venezuelan-born Bitter managed to impress us in a handful of shows. First he was a very watchable part of the ensemble in the physical-theatre production of Persephone at the Fringe then he donned a lab coat and faux scientific know-how in #7Love, at SummerWorks. As part of Ken Gass's ENSEMBLE Canadian Youth Theatre, he brought sensitivity to the shared role of Bobby in TOUGH!, and was an enigmatic figure of grief in Tideline.
Next up, he's working with Theatre Rusticle in a production of Our Town at Buddies in Bad Times this spring.
Native writer and performer Bonnell shone in her riveting solo show bug, a physical theatre piece about a girl and her relationship to addictions based in intergenerational trauma. Workshopped in Weesageechak Begins To Dance, Rhubarb and SummerWorks, it grew stronger with each iteration.
She also appeared in SummerWorks' Two Indians as a young woman who grew apart from her cousin when she moved from the rez to the big city. Bonnell's breakthrough role, though, was the childlike Theresa in The Crackwalker, directed by playwright Judith Thompson her performance was just the right combination of demanding, sympathetic and unnerving.
Next, the actor's off to Stratford for the summer season.
Nikki Duval and Justin Miller were frighteningly good in The Pitchfork Disney.
A trio of shows brought Duval to the forefront this year in performances that always had a comic side but also showed the darkness beneath the laughter.
She began by playing a doll baby who comes to life in Well Born, followed by an agoraphobic sibling in the site-specific The Pitchfork Disney and, finally, in The Circle, an outsider goth girl who proved to be the play's most sympathetic and grounded character.
Danny Ghantous (front) made a spectacular professional debut in A Line In The Sand.
Last spring, while still in his fourth year at Ryerson, Ghantous won the plum role of Sadiq, an enterprising Palestinian youth, in Factory's revival of A Line In The Sand. His open, layered performance was so impressive that he won a Toronto Theatre Critics Award and got a Dora Award nomination.
Then he starred in two shows in Ken Gass's ENSEMBLE Canadian Youth Theatre: the symbol-laden Dreams and, later in the year, the demanding lead in Tideland. In the massive latter role, he showed enormous range as a young man grieving a father he didn't know. More, please.

Making Your Site Look Like A Million Bucks
March 24, 2018
Even people who do not know a lot about computers can succeed. Use this advice in this article to become a successful Internet marketer.
Take into consideration the different methods available for advertising your website. There are several methods to attract more business including developing a blog, posting on several social networking sites and word of mouth. There are a number of different ways to get visitors to check out your site. Creativity is key when trying to gain customers.
Keep focused and have goals when you first start working with internet marketing. Don't give up before you see success. You gain absolutely nothing from giving up. Have everything prepared before you start selling. This will definitely take work! But, don't forget that in the end, it is all worth it.
Creating a section for frequently asked questions will help your customers with common issues and make it easier for them to order. This will answer some of your audience's questions right away, which can save them and you time. The more comfortable and well-informed your website visitors feel, the more likely they are to do business with you.
Make sure that all images placed on your site include captions. Search engines use captions to help determine if a site is relevant to a user's search. With good captions, you can increase your site rank.
Blog several times a week to enhance your internet marketing attempt. A frequently updated blog is a great way for you to reach customers, and provide them with information about your products. Having a blog also makes your site larger, which gives search engines more material to index and should thus bring you more traffic.
Give your customers a reason to visit your website. Don't make the mistake of assuming a one-page website with very little information will engage and keep a customer's attention. Review, articles and relevant content will show your customers how knowledgeable you are.
Create a signature to put at the bottom of each e-mail you send, whether it's for a personal or business message. Think of your signature as a virtual business card. By allowing the recipients of your e-mails to see how your business really is, you are more likely to gain increased traffic and profits.
If you can create an Ezine, it can be a great tool to get subscribers and market your company. Establish rapport with your readers by adding personal photos. Write facts about your personal life that people can relate to. Keep the reader curious by having an eye catching subject line that will grab their attention.
If you are offering certain claims about your product, they must be true. You can talk a good game about your product, but sharing a video or photo that provides proof that you're selling a solution goes a long way. This is why it is so important to sell products that you have used yourself.
You will not become a professional overnight. Know what you're doing first, so that you can take appropriate steps toward success.

Yes the dog drinks bottled water.
Quote from: cbr shadow on June 17, 2013, 07:54:01 AM Yes the dog drinks bottled water.Yet if you take the dog out for a walk, s/he will happily drink from any old puddle. My two get my very good well water, but would rather drink from outdoor containers in which leaves and such have steeped for a week or two.And don't get me started on horse manure, or dead critter bones found in the woods...
My neighborhood has well water, and while it is drinkable, we got a cheap water cooler on craig's list. It is 39 cents a gallon to fill it up, and we have a few 5 gallon jugs. We still cook with regular tap and just use that for drinking. I think the benefit of having clean water that you enjoy drinking outweighs the cost of not drinking as much because of the flavor.
Ever notice what "Evian" spells backwards?
Roughly eight-day-old deer leg...
The bottled water thing kills me. Congratulations! You just polluted the earth for 10,000 years in order to drink 12 oz of water. Your future great grandchildren now hate you forever.
Quote from: Rural on June 17, 2013, 07:38:59 PMRoughly eight-day-old deer leg... Was out riding with some friends this past weekend - four humans, five horses, eight dogs - and one of the dogs (not mine, thankfully) comes running back from the trees with a whole deer leg, still at the rather fragrant stage...
Quote from: Rural on June 17, 2013, 07:38:59 PMRoughly eight-day-old deer leg... You're a better forensic zoologist than I am - I only know whether they stink or not :-)
Well, the eeact age is a guess, but I did have plenty of time to form an educated one as the dog pranced happily back and forth, waving the prized object around in the air, parts falling off, daring anyone to catch him.
You can't buy Dasani in the UK (or Europe). It got so much bad publicity for being tap water from Sidcup (with markup of 300,000%), together with a health scare of carcenogenics introduced from the purification process and a truely lousy marketing campagin that failed to recogise that 'spunk' doesn't mean the same in the UK as it does in the USA.It lasted all of five weeks from launch to being pulled.

2015 Porsche Macan: 20,000-Mile Service
May 27, 2015
The other day I mentioned we dropped our 2015 Porsche Macan S at Beverly Hills Porsche for its scheduled 20,000-mile service and an assortment of TSBs.
It's back. Here's what got fixed and, more importantly, how much it cost.
When I left you last time, I failed to mention two items I asked them to look at: a squeaky driver-side window and a blown fuse from a few weeks back. In my mind, it was just a fuse and I didn't think anything of it. But a couple of you wondered why it blew, so I asked.
Porsche said they'd have the car done by mid-afternoon the day after I dropped it off. They called me at 10:30am and said it was ready to go. Under promise, over deliver — solid plan.
During their 25-ish hours with our Macan, the service department took care of service campaigns for a front door gap issue, added protective film on the rear door sill, checked/replaced the alarm thingy we already had replaced, and reprogrammed the PDK and ECU. Macan owners are saying they've felt improvements in shift quality and auto start/stop behavior. We'll report back if we notice anything.
The service department also lubed a squeaky driver-side window seal.
The 20,000-mile service itself includes an oil change ($34.95 oil filter insert, $13 in sealing rings, $76 of Mobil 1, $2.27 for disposal), a multi-point inspection ($2.50 of washer fluid — seriously — and a $69 air filter), resetting the oil light(!), and resetting our tire pressures back from where we want them (33/36) to what the door says (36/39). Beverly Hills Porsche estimated that the whole thing would cost $750. Actual cost: $667.�
As for the fuse? Well, our service advisor let slip that this was a common problem with the Macan and stemmed from the power port just below the shifter. Apparently if you remove a plug at a sharp enough angle (anything other than straight up?), the contacts touch something they shouldn't and short the system. Glad I asked.
Update: Sorry, folks, forgot to include this: BH Porsche charges $180/hr for labor. There's a big sign when you walk into the service area making that very clear.

Jamie Whincup has taken his first ARMOR ALL Pole Position of the season at the Castrol EDGE Townsville 400 and smashed the lap record.
It's the first time the Red Bull #88 starts from first since last year's finale at Sydney Olympic Park and comes at a circuit Whincup has proven to be dominant, with seven wins to his name.
The next drivers on the list, Mark Winterbottom and Garth Tander have three wins apiece.
Whincup's 1min12.1443 lap was just 0.111sec under the existing record, which Winterbottom set back in 2012.
The Red Bull racer was pleased with the lap but knows just how challenging the 200km race ahead will be.
Whincup becomes the ninth different pole sitter in 14 races.
"It was a good lap," Whincup said.
"It's great to be starting in the right position but it's going to be a long day."
Whincup was fastest yesterday in practice, and in the 20-minute qualifying session topped teammate Shane van Gisbergen by 0.1799sec.
Holden Racing Team's James Courtney earned his best starting position for the year and said it felt like a pole – he starts alongside Chaz Mostert.
Neither Mostert or van Gisbergen have won at the Townsville circuit.
Winterbottom was close behind in fifth, though other fan favourites Craig Lowndes and Scott McLaughlin were back in 11th and 18th respectively.
McLaughlin will gain a position as Nick Percat drops from 17th to 19th after being issued a penalty for blocking Aaren Russell on-track.

The 200km race kicks off at 4.10pm local time.

Information for this report is provided by the Arizona media relations department.
The Arizona Wildcats (9-1) are going for their ninth straight win over NAU tonight at 6:30 p.m. at McKale Center on the 127th birthday of the game of basketball.
Margaret Naismith Jonker, Dr. James Naismith's great-granddaughter will be in attendance as well as Mayor of Tucson Jonathan Rothschild.
Friday's game will be live streamed on ArizonaWildcats.com and can be heard on 1400 AM with Derrick Palmer on the call.
Arizona has won eight straight games for the first time since the 2003-04 season after beating UTEP in McKale Center on Monday. The Wildcats are off to their best start (9-1) since the 2011-12 season.
The Wildcats are looking to avenge their road loss to NAU last year and are going for their ninth win in the last 10 meetings against the Lumberjacks.
Aari McDonald is the nation's third-leading scorer at 24.6 points per game. She is the only player in the country to average 20 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals per game and is the first player in school history to score at least 15 points in the first 10 games of the season.
No player in Arizona history has led the nation in scoring — which McDonald is threatening to do — and only two Wildcats (Adia Barnes, now the head coach, and Dee Dee Wheeler) have led the conference in scoring.
Onl Barnes averaged at least 20 points per game in one season when she scored 21.8 per game during her senior season (1997-98). In order for McDonald to break the single-season scoring record, McDonald needs to score 408 more points. She has scored 246 through 10 games and the Wildcats have 19 more regular season games.
NCAA's Leading Scorers (as of Wednesday's games)
1. Cierra Dillard (Buffalo): 25.8
2. Megan Gustafson (Iowa): 24.7
3. Aari McDonald (Arizona): 24.6
4. Najai Pollard (Delaware State): 23.7
5. Kristine Anigwe (Cal): 23.6
The Arizona defense has been swarming so far through the first 10 games. The Cats are allowing just 50.4 points per game, which is first in the Pac-12 and fourth in the country and are allowing opponents to just 33.7 percent shooting, the second-best mark in the conference.
Arizona has forced the opponent to shoot below 35 percent five times this year as opposed to last year when opponents shot under 35 percent four times all season. Over the last five games, Arizona is averaging 12.8 steals per game and is second in the Pac-12 at 10.3 per game.
Arizona is the only team in the Pac-12 to be ranked in the top three in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense and 3-point percentage defense.

concentration cells
so on test two, there was the question concerning what would happen to the cell potential in a concentration cell if the mass of the cathode electrode is doubled. I figured that since the mass is going up, the molarity will be increasing, the concentration difference will be larger. with a larger concentration difference, the concentration gradient that drives the reaction will be larger, resulting in the cell potential increasing. however, I got the question wrong lmao. could someone help explain to me why the cell potential would decrease?
Re: concentration cells
Changing the mass of the cathode doesn't change the concentration of the cathode solution therefore changing the mass of the electrode would have no change / affect on the cell potential.

I think you are referring to the second part of that question but he is asking about the first part where the volume of the cathode solution is changing.

Re: concentration cells
Well because the electrodes theme-selves are solids they are not included in the reaction to find the equilibrium constant so therefore any manipulation in the cathode means that there will be no change in in the cell potential. Also cell potentials are intensive.

I got myself an ASUS 1005p which apparently has a new chip that is not yet correctly identified by the current kernel. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Model/1005P has the lspci information and some other stuff. It may be that the "fix" is as easy as

My first attempt to recompile a kernel patched in this way failed. I'm going for the second attempt now and will let you know how things went.
recompilation succeeded now, but unfortunately, that simple patch in itself was not enough. I'd appreciate some guidance.
Created attachment 24859 [details]
Add AR2427 support 802.11n bonded out
This adds support for the single chip family devices sold with 802.11n bonded out. These devices have their 802.11n hardware capabilities bonded out in preference for cheaper price.
Please give the patch attached on comment #2 a shot. It applies to the latest wireless-testing. You can apply it to the wireless-testing git tree or a bleeding edge compat-wireless snapshot.
wireless-testing git tree:
Bleeding edge compat-wireless snapshots:
I can confirm that the patch from comment #2 works on an Asus Eee PC 1005 using bleeding edge compat-wireless sources as of 2010-02-01 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) x86_64, that is,
Linux 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Downstream, are you reading me? ;-)
I'll send that in today, thanks for testing.
BTW are you available for a backport test of that patch for 2.6.33 and 2.6.32?
I'm afraid no -- I was setting up that laptop for someone else and have given it back to that person in the meanwhile.
Patch is upstream now.
Thank you.
If it's still necessary, I can do some testing for 2.6.33 and 2.6.32. In fact, I'd like to do that since lucid will be based on 2.6.32, I think. I'm just not sure how to compile these things (preferably inside a lucid live CD). I grabbed compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download and booted a lucid CD.
Recompilation went fine, but "make install" failed when the build system was looking for /lib/modules/2.6.31-wl instead of /lib/modules/2.6.32-11-generic as it probably should have. Even adding a symlink from the former to the latter did not get me all the way to the end (some problems about initramfs and grub). If possible, I'd like to test this immediately while booted into the live CD since any changes will be lost on reboot.
BTW, where is upstream? I guess you're not talking about Linus' mainline. Didn't see it there, yet. But I also can't spot it in Linville's tree. Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the paths these things take.
I finally got this working and am happy to report it works fine even on 2.6.31
*** Bug 15099 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Rolf, here is the 2.6.32 backported patch:
Here is the 2.6.33 backported patch:

When Allah's Apostle married Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited the people to a meal. They took the meal and remained sitting and talking. Then the Prophet (showed them) as if he is ready to get up, yet they did not get up. When he noticed that (there was no response to his movement), he got up, and the others too, got up except three persons who kept on sitting. The Prophet came back in order to enter his house, but he went away again. Then they left, whereupon I set out and went to the Prophet to tell him that they had departed, so he came and entered his house. I wanted to enter along with him, but he put a screen between me and him. Then Allah revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet...' (33.53)

I've just discovered how little I know about driving dangers
We've all heard our mother or father's voice from the passenger seat of the car screaming about "hands at 10 and two" or "turn your bloody phone off".
But like many young drivers, I have always said "just let me drive, she'll be right". After all, when you are in your late teens or 20s, you know it all.
Well, much to my horror and embarrassment, an experience last week has taught me it really won't be right.
I've just had a go on a driving simulator to find out how using a mobile phone affects my driving.
Setting off on the simulator, I was cruising along country roads and merging on to the highway with ease.
But then I took my phone out and tested texting while driving. I did all right on the back roads, just slow a little around the bends and taking a glimpse at the phone every now and again.
My confidence was pretty high at this point, so I came to the highway merge point, flicked on my indicator — and nearly got cleaned up by the back end of a semitrailer.
When the brakes stopped screeching, I merged into the lane, but I was rattled. So rattled in fact that I cut off the old lady in the car behind me.
Once I got going again, I decided to see if I could make a phone call and completely missed my turn-off. This is where things went from bad to downright lethal.
I restarted on the highway, but ended the call, determined to get my confidence back to where I started.
No sooner had I left the highway than I over-corrected on a bend and spun out on both sides of the verge, finally coming to a halt on the grass.
Now, I can only imagine what that would have felt like in a real car. I got out of the simulator's driver's seat feeling sorry for myself and a tad embarrassed, but had that been a real car, I may not have walked away at all.
Now, I'm not saying that I drive around using my phone all the time but, if we're honest, we all have some cheeky moments. We can't just consider the act of looking at the phone.
I had my most significant crash after putting the phone away and trying to refocus on driving. But that split second of not thinking about what I was seeing or doing was enough to end my journey.
A total of 160 people died on WA roads last year, 99 of those on regional roads, with a high number of these in the Wheatbelt where I grew up.
I can say vehemently that even a quick call or text isn't worth the risk. Take it from a young man who now knows he really doesn't know it all.

News tagged with flood
Sorry, no news articles match your request. Your search criteria may be too narrow.
A flood is an overflow or accumulation of an expanse of water that submerges land. In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its normal boundaries. While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area.
Floods can also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river is so high it flows out of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders and causes damage to homes and businesses along such rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding.
The word "flood" comes from the Old English flod, a word common to Germanic languages (compare German Flut, Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow, float). The specific term "The Flood," capitalized, usually refers to the great Universal Deluge described in the Bible, in Genesis, and is treated at Deluge.

Great quality and would definitely purchase again.I got it install 2 and a half weeks ago. So far, it's been amazing. Minimal, almost undetectable shedding, no tangling or bunching what so ever, and takes heat on well (I curl it a lot). I'm actually going to color it soon. Affordable option for great quality cheap full lace wigs !Priced Right!! And I've bought hair from just about everywhere..super soft super straight...i even colored my ends...plus came with enough hair for a FULL head with enough left that i put it in a pony tail in my nieces hair.Had this hair for 8 months put it in 4 times i soooo love this hair was the best hair i ever gotten about to pay new hair now and still have this one a 10 star.The cheap Omber Hair Weave was perfect and very bouncy and full, I had this hair for prom.Feels Very Nice, Smoove I Order 18in As You See I Got Exactly That Just A Little Bit Thin At The End Other Then That Love It Especially For The Price Definitely Would Order Again'' Wefts were thick. Shipped within two days. Will definetly reorder. I currently have sewin with this hair and I love it. Theres no shedding. Great great great quality hair!

Kate Walters blog part two, Iona, November 2015
A starling in the byre, and sunshine. My dog gazes upwards, somewhat anxiously. I don't know how the bird found her way in here. This morning the sounds were of thick water and a thin delicate birdsong. The path sucked at my boots, the grasses too sodden to sing in this morning's winds. The light was bright after a night of the bothy imitating a boat, with the bed shaking and quivering like a trapped animal.
I see the breast of the bird, it is pale from beneath, so she blends with the sky when she flies. I open the door, she flies down from the rafters and out through the doorway in an arc of relief and triumph.
In the days I've been here I've kept a sketchbook of drawings, a still anchor amongst the swirl of works I've been making. The drawings, the monotypes, the notes and the watercolours have created a conversation between themselves, and I've been supported by the fusion, the generation which has occurred.
When I first arrived and the weather was kind and warm, I wanted to immerse myself in the water, feel the cleansing power of diamonds suspended in and around my body. I made drawings about this communion of skin, flesh, and water. A body crouching, or bent double as if horse-borne, foot placed on some subtle shore, hands stroking a watery surface in prayer.
Reflected in the crystalline water have been extraordinary clouds. I've spent time photographing them, and feeling the beings which dwell in them momentarily. Related to this, I've also made a drawing which recalls a vision I had many years ago which showed me how a soul can evolve: I saw one face dissolving into another, going back through time, face upon face each melding into one another, each more beautiful than the last, until a holy face came into clear view.
I've also been considering boundaries: of watery bodies, of soul bodies, of soul family members recognising one another, and of the energy which such dynamics can fire.
A trip to Staffa to see the caves led me to think once again about the feminine body, the giantess who holds; and of the correspondence with our own bodies, with all their little fjords, rivers, caves, and arches. I closed my eyes and followed the free movement of my left hands, trusting in what it would show me. This as I sat in the cave, awed by the integrity of its presence.
A guest in the hostel spoke to me about Julian of Norwich and her visions, or 'Showings' as they are called. I will seek these out on my return to Cornwall.
I wanted more and more to meet Water, to have her hold me. A drawing of this impulse became a figure with a matrix, and a bird around her, holding her. This drawing developed into a series 'And I am the bird's egg, she my nest..'
..which grew into a series about the 'Bird with Womb to give my Consciousness…'
The dreams which came as I slept here informed the studio work and my insights about the work which came. My father who died some years ago appeared in a dream, looking younger then I ever remember him, and somehow golden. The perfume of this dream infused a piece about a happy Buddha figure with a cape of breasts.
John Maclean has lent me a book about Sheila-na-gig and as I read I see through my drawings and notes how I have anticipated and tuned into the spirit of this place in a very clear and strong way.
As my last week here begins, I awake feeling that I will just about be able to bear the leave-taking of this place, and the return to my other life.
I have my first day off, and head of towards St Columba's Bay in the dazzling November sunshine. It's a long walk past the jetty towards the machair and the West beaches. Wet and rocky we climb to high lakes of dark water before descending to green openness, cattle, and sheep. The round pebbles invite searching. I become as someone gathering fruit or jewels and I think to myself that you would never see sheep, or dogs, on their hands and knees turning over stones searching for that special bright one. I leave with heavier pockets. I had promised to send a couple of serpentine pieces to people who will never make this trip.
I had a strong desire to re-visit a place I last experienced in my thirties. It is the Hill of the Angels. I set off up a barely discernable rocky path over bogs and drops and tiny animal tracks through heather. Following my nose I head north-east until the great swelling mounds of dried heather, a sprawling bonsai forest, invite me to rest once again. When I lay upon this springy heather bed some twenty years ago up on this high place I thought this was the closest I could ever come to Heaven in this life. So I lay myself down again and gave thanks for the return to this most glorious of holy hills.And the sky was blue, the sun warm.
Inner work reflecting the drawings I've made is coming into clearer focus for me; as are the possible outcomes I see this work leading towards – a book, a show of works in a public space, and I hope, all being well, a return to this wonderful place to re-establish the connection I feel here, the sense of being in a place where I experience the sensation of being held in a harbour which fits me, holds me perfectly at ease, at rest.
The days here seem to move through their hours more quickly than anywhere I've ever been. As my last week passes I am working with oils, trying to find their voice. The rain came in again today so Marc kindly lit the stove. The studio-byre was immediately brightened and warmed. I sat on the rocking chair with my dog, cuddled her, wished that time would slow a little.
A little later Luke appeared with a plate of freshly made bread and butter. So simple, so kind, and so delicious. Lysanne has said that as tomorrow is her last day she will be making a last night brownie. It has been such a joy to come into the kitchen/dining room to find a plate of shortbread, ginger bread or brownies with a note on the top -'please help yourself'.
At home I cook every night but here cooking has not been on my radar at all…so it has been a real treat to receive these expressions of generosity. The last hostel I stayed in was in Venice, and there was a tiny shared dining room without cooking facilities. This hostel has been the warmest, cleanest, friendliest place I could imagine and I have been so very happy staying here.

1. Examine the environment cautiously
Whenever you enter your hotel room, bathroom or changing room of a store, scan the place carefully. Examine every inch of the place in order to spot the hidden camera. Check the things like books, wall decors, electrical switch boards, flower pots, soft toys, cushions, shelves, etc. Don't overlook outdoor surroundings. Check the house shrubs, door holes. If you find suspicious lights, lenses, or wiring they can be sign of a hidden camera.
Another way of detecting a hidden camera without using a detector is by turning off the lights. This way, you can find out whether a night vision security camera is installed in your room. Most of the time, green or red LEDs are installed in these cameras and they blink when there is no or low light in the room. This is the best way to detect spy cameras, whether they are wired or wireless.
You can check if there is a hidden camera in in your bathroom and other places by using your handheld device, i.e. your mobile phone. Simply make a phone call. If there is a hidden surveillance device nearby it will give off radio frequency which interferes with mobile signals. Walk around the room with call and if you come across any interference, stop at that place and search carefully for a surveillance device. There are also many apps you can also install to detect spy cameras.
You might have heard about cases in which hidden cameras were placed in mirrors of bathrooms. These cameras are installed in such way that, one side of the mirror is transparent while the other appears as normal mirror. An effective tip to find out whether the mirror in the room is two-way is to simply put your fingertip on the mirror and observe carefully. If you find the gap between the finger and its image in the mirror, then the mirror is normal one, but if they both appear touching each other, then be alert. There is likely a hidden camera in the mirror.

A WHO news release: Malaria vaccine pilot launched in Malawi. Excerpt:
WHO welcomes the Government of Malawi's launch of the world's first malaria vaccine today in a landmark pilot programme. The country is the first of three in Africa in which the vaccine, known as RTS,S, will be made available to children up to 2 years of age; Ghana and Kenya will introduce the vaccine in the coming weeks.
Malaria remains one of the world's leading killers, claiming the life of one child every two minutes. Most of these deaths are in Africa, where more than 250 000 children die from the disease every year. Children under 5 are at greatest risk of its life-threatening complications. Worldwide, malaria kills 435 000 people a year, most of them children.
"We have seen tremendous gains from bed nets and other measures to control malaria in the last 15 years, but progress has stalled and even reversed in some areas. We need new solutions to get the malaria response back on track, and this vaccine gives us a promising tool to get there," said WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "The malaria vaccine has the potential to save tens of thousands of children's lives."
An innovation milestone, three decades in development
Thirty years in the making, RTS,S is the first, and to date the only, vaccine that has demonstrated it can significantly reduce malaria in children. In clinical trials, the vaccine was found to prevent approximately 4 in 10 malaria cases, including 3 in 10 cases of life-threatening severe malaria
"Malaria is a constant threat in the African communities where this vaccine will be given. The poorest children suffer the most and are at highest risk of death," said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa. "We know the power of vaccines to prevent killer diseases and reach children, including those who may not have immediate access to the doctors, nurses and health facilities they need to save them when severe illness comes."
"This is a day to celebrate as we begin to learn more about what this tool can do to change the trajectory of malaria through childhood vaccination," she added.
The pilot programme is designed to generate evidence and experience to inform WHO policy recommendations on the broader use of the RTS,S malaria vaccine. It will look at reductions in child deaths; vaccine uptake, including whether parents bring their children on time for the four required doses; and vaccine safety in the context of routine use.
The vaccine is a complementary malaria control tool – to be added to the core package of WHO-recommended measures for malaria prevention, including the routine use of insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor spraying with insecticides, and the timely use of malaria testing and treatment.
