Joe Mixon belongs in the same breath with Le'Veon Bell and Todd Gurley as one of the top-tier running backs in the NFL, according to Cincinnati Bengals teammate A.J. Green.
Green's assessment came shortly after Mixon rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown and reeled in five receptions for 54 yards in the Bengals' 34-23 season-opening victory versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Mixon's 149 all-purpose yards included several big gains, notably a pair of plays of at least 20 yards.
The second-year player's performance gave Green enough evidence to place him alongside some pretty lofty company.
"You mention him with Le'Veon or Gurley. He's there with those guys," said Green, who finished with six receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown.
Bell, who has yet to sign his franchise tag with the Pittsburgh Steelers, ran for 1,291 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns last season while catching a personal-best 85 passes for 655 yards and two scores. He was third in the NFL in rushing yards and 10th in receptions.
Gurley is coming off a monstrous season in 2017 in which he led the Los Angeles Rams to the NFC West title. The 23-year-old became the first Rams player to win the Offensive Player of the Year award since Marshall Faulk in 2001 after leading the league in touchdowns (19), points scored among non-kickers (114) and scrimmage yards (2,093) in addition to finishing second in rushing yards (1,305).
Mixon's rookie campaign in 2017 didn't start so well, as he was restricted by a crowded backfield for the first seven weeks before a season-ending ankle injury to Jeremy Hill resulted in a bigger workload.
The 22-year-old Mixon finished with 178 carries for a team-best 626 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games since being selected by the Bengals in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
An upgraded offensive line should prove dividends for the Bengals, who added first-round pick Billy Price out of Ohio State and tackle Cordy Glenn in the offseason.
For his part, Mixon credited his line for his performance on Sunday.
"I'm very excited. Marvin [Lewis] came in here [at half] and told us to settle down. Can't beat ourselves," the 6-foot-1, 220-pound Mixon said. "We re-grouped and went one drive at a time. The line was great. They were grinding it and pounding it."
Mixon and the Bengals (1-0) will play their home opener on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens (1-0), who breezed to a 47-3 romp over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Mixon rushed 18 times for 96 yards in the Bengals' 31-27 win over the Ravens on Dec. 31.
S Shawn Williams, who is a defensive captain, was ejected after hitting Colts quarterback Andrew Luck in the back of the helmet during the first quarter.
LB Preston Brown, who had 144 tackles last season with the Buffalo Bills, had five before being limited with an ankle injury.
QB Andy Dalton rebounded after being intercepted on his first throw to finish 21-of-28 for 243 yards with two touchdowns on Sunday.
RB Giovani Bernard was limited to just one carry for minus-two yards on Sunday. Bernard finished second on the team in carries (105) and rushing yards (458) last season.
LB Nick Vigil had a team-high 11 tackles on Sunday.

The biggest problem facing first home buyers in Sydney, where house prices have rocketed in the last few years, is that they can't save enough for a deposit.
Home prices have been rising faster than wages. Average pay has been rising by less than 2% a year. In Sydney, home prices have jumped by as much as 20% over 12 months.
According to analysis by UBS, the best case for a typical first home buyer, on a wage of $80,000 a year is 11 years of saving $8000 a year to get a 10% deposit. That's for a $400,000 home.
In Sydney, that becomes an astounding 40 years because the average price for a home is $1.2 million.
"The key driver of time to save is house price growth vs income," says UBS in a note to clients. "In the last 5 years, house price growth averaged 7%, but income only 4%."
Using those numbers, most first home buyers would never get to buy a house unless they were given at least part of the deposit.
UBS says the superannuation saving scheme announced in the May federal budget, would cut the required saving time by up to several years.
"Our model suggests if these trends were repeated ahead (an ongoing increase in the house price-income – and therefore the household debt-income ratio), a potential FHB (first home buyer) would likely never be able to save a 10% deposit to buy a home," says UBS.
Here's the UBS model for deposit saving. A $1 million home would take more than 90 years to save a deposit for if only 2.5% of income is saved. That drops to 6.6 years when saving 20% of income.
UBS has called the top of Australia's housing because of housing affordability is extremely stretched.
The house price-income ratio has surged to a record 6.5X, up from 4.5X in 2012 and more than doubling from 3X in 1996.

Homemade Pond Skimmers
A pond skimmer is basically a pond filter that removes water and debris from the top of the pond, thereby "skimming" floating debris before it becomes waterlogged and sinks to the bottom. Materials for a homemade pond skimmer do not vary significantly from a homemade pond filter. However, the container varies in its construction to limit water intake to just the top inch or two of the pond.
Container Choice and Preparation
The container you choose for a pond skimmer is the most important part of its construction. A dark colored 5-gallon bucket with a lid works well. Cut out a 2-by-6-inch rectangle horizontally across the bucket, about 3 inches from the lid. This will be the intake. Place the bucket in the pond, using stones or an overturned plastic container to set the bucket so the rectangle is 1 inch below the water line. Place a stone in the bottom of the bucket to keep it from tipping over.
Pump Placement
Remove the stone from the bucket and drop a pond pump in. Mark and cut the bucket to allow the pump outflow hose to feed back in to the pond at or above the water level. Pack the area in the bucket above the pump with scrubbing sponges or a large piece of foam. This will act as a filter for the pond water before it reaches the pump.
Skimmer Use
Once you power on the pond pump, the skimmer will begin to function. Water will flow in to the bucket through the rectangular hole. Debris such as leaves and grass clippings will become stuck inside the top of the bucket where you can safely remove them using your hands or an aquarium net. The foam or scrubbing sponges will prevent debris from clogging the pond pump should you neglect to clean the skimmer for a few days.
Note on Fish
If you have fish, omit adding scrubbing sponges or foam to the bucket skimmer as fish may become trapped and drown. The rectangular hole should allow any fish that get into the skimmer to easily escape. Nonetheless, when removing debris from the skimmer ensure you are not grabbing fish with the leaves and litter.

Mercedes has released the first image of its 2011 Formula 1 contender - the MGP W02 - ahead of its maiden public appearance at Valencia on Tuesday.
The team is one of several that has eschewed a full-scale launch this year in favour of making a low-key track debut when testing resumes after the winter ban. But Mercedes has issued a head-on computer-generated image of the car as an early hint of its look.
The picture suggests a more traditional airbox design for the 2011 car and a higher nose, while the livery receives subtle alterations with additional green highlighting for main sponsor Petronas and a slightly different silver for the main colour scheme.
After a disappointing return to works team status in 2010, when its programme was hampered by the restructuring that predecessor team Brawn had to undergo while also chasing the 2009 title, Mercedes switched all its attention to its 2011 design early last season. It hopes to have eradicated the issues that left the W01 slightly off the pace from the outset as well as giving itself more time to get to grips with this year's rule changes than its '10 title-chasing rivals will have had.
Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher stay on as the driver line-up for a second year.

Good Morning! "You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God's temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor." 1 Peter 2:4NLT
God chose his son – the living cornerstone to bring/give life to a broken and dying world. While rejected, he still lived his purpose and because of that we have a greater hope.
Take heart, the One who showed us the true meaning of love was rejected by the world. Yet, he chose us, he loves us, values us, and calls us his own.
As you come to Christ and begin to build a personal relationship with him allow his living word to speak to you and through you. Don't give up or give into the standards of this world continue to pursue a life that glorifies the Lord.
On this Valentine's day remember the One who loved you first is the one who loves you the most today.
🙂 Keep seeking! Keep praying! Keep trusting! He loves you!

During the campaign, after the election and now as president, there were claims that President Trump was an anti-Semite. Those claims are what we call in the "mamma loshen" (mother tongue/Yiddish) dreck (which means trash or sh*t, take your pick).
As a Jew who is active in Jewish causes, and has had to fight against anti-Semites, IMHO one of the worst things someone can do is make false charges of Antisemitism. Not only does it weaken the effect of real charges of Antisemitism, but it goes against Jewish law regarding how people should talk about each other.
The latest whispers come from the fact the president was criticized for not commenting about the series of anti-Semitic threats to Jewish Community Centers. He finally commented this past Tuesday and did so very appropriately
"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible and are painful, and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil," Trump said after touring the National Museum of African-American History and Culture.
Throughout the campaign Trump faced false charges of Antisemitism. There was the infamous Je…

Bioleaching of nickel from equilibrium fluid catalytic cracking catalysts
MetadataShow full item record
This study investigates the possibility of reusing metal-contaminated equilibrium fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst after bioleaching. Leaching with Aspergillus niger culture was found to be more effective in the mobilization of nickel from the catalyst particles compared to chemical leaching with citric acid. Bioleaching achieved 32% nickel removal whereas chemical leaching achieved only 21% nickel removal from catalyst particles. The enhanced nickel removal from the catalysts in the presence of A. niger culture was attributed to the biosorption ability of the fungal mycelium and to the higher local concentration of citric acid on the catalyst surface. It was found that 9% of solubilized nickel in the liquid medium was biosorbed to fungal biomass. After nickel leaching with A. niger culture, the hydrogen-to-methane molar ratio and coke yield, which are the measures of dehydrogenation reactions catalysed by nickel during cracking reactions, decreased significantly.

What is Stanozolol?
Stanozolol falls into the category of anabolic steroids, which mimic the effects of male hormones in the body. Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone are the most widely used hormones in anabolic steroids, and these create protein synthesis in cells. The effect is the faster buildup of muscle tissue, which is also one of the primary reasons why many athletes and bodybuilders seek the assistance of these drugs for faster results. Also, individuals who aren't happy with their current body shape are also likely to turn to the assistance of Stanozolol to help them achieve their perceived appearance.
Side Effects of Stanozolol
- Changes in the Skin
One of the most common side effects of Stanozolol is changes to the skin, especially regarding the skin's natural composition. Users report that the consumption of this drug made them prone to acne breakouts. If the person doesn't have acne, then it might become a problem. However, people who already exhibit problems of acne can make the problem even worse than before.
The spread of acne can even take place on the upper arms, chest, face, and back areas. Furthermore, the pores of the skin may also enlarge, and it makes the skin rougher than normal. This process is called virilization, and it can become irreversible in women. Stretch marks might also pop up on the skin and is accompanied by signs of acne.
- Sexual Traits
Testosterone is a naturally occurring male hormone that coerces the development of the sex drive and the body's secondary sex characteristics. Some users exhibit testicular atrophy from using Stanozolol. It is when the testicles shrink in size, which might even lead to low sperm count. If a person continues to exhibit high dosages of Stanozolol, then it might even lead to baldness, infertility, and even breast development in men. It can even lead to an increased risk of prostate cancer.
- Changes in Mental Health
Stanozolol, along with other anabolic steroids, can have negative effects to a person's mental constitution. The individual might exhibit signs of mood swings, aggression, and other manic-like symptoms. These changes in mental behavior can even lead to signs of violent behavior, and it might also progress to extreme irritability, delusions, and paranoid jealousy.
- Cardiovascular Side Effects
The consumption of Stanozolol might have a negative impact on the body's blood pressure and plasma proteins. These elements affect the cardiovascular system. Certain dosages of this anabolic steroid can lower high-density lipoproteins (HDL), or otherwise known as the good cholesterol in the body. However, total cholesterol levels will rise in individuals due to a certain intake of Stanozolol. Also, reports suggest that blood pressure will normalize approximately two months after the use of the drug has been withdrawn.
- Other Side Effects
Other side effects of Stanozolol aside from the ones listed above include the contribution of bone pain, loss of appetite, the development of certain cancers, reoccurring headaches, and normal bone growth slows down in prepubescent girls and boys. Men can also experience an increased number of prolonged erections not associated with sexual stimulation.

Using Raspberry Pi sftp server
There are several ways of accessing Raspberry Pi files through the network. One of the preferred methods is to use the Secure Copy (SCP). It is a file sending command allowing transferring data over SSH. This is a secure way of sending files between Raspberry Pi boards or other Linux machines. To use with Windows, you need special software like WinSCP. As you can see, it requires additional software to access files from windows. But if you are used transferring data via FTP, then you have another option – SFTP which is an FTP with encryption. SFTP is already enabled in Raspbian and can be used right away. Be sure that your FPT client supports sftp protocol. For instance, FileZilla, Bitvise and same WinSCP clients work without a problem. To connect to Raspberry Pi via sftp you need to enter an IP address and port 22. Log in by using your connection credentials that are pi/raspberry by default. Once connected you can drag and drop your files in and out. If you want to move a bit forward and be… Continue reading

Arduino INDI-compatible DC Focuser
wimvb posted a topic in DIY AstronomerImaging season is still a few weeks away up here, but I've started dusting of my gear and upgrading some parts. One step closer to automation is a motor focuser, and I opted for a budget solution. I bought a SkyWatcher DC focuser and built a computer control for it. Since I use INDI for my automation, I had to find a way to connect the focuser to indiserver. A first thought was to use the INDIduino code, but after some coding and testing I found out that this code is very limited and not really supported by indi clients. The Ekos/Kstars focus module can't be used for focus control if you use INDIduino, apparently. But then I stumbled upon an Arduino solution that emulates the MoonLite focuser (http://www.indilib.org/forum/general/283-moonlite-focuser-protocol.html). Unfortunately, this protocol is for a focuser with a stepper motor, whereas the SkyWatcher has a geared DC motor. I had already rewritten some code from stepper to (geared) DC motor, so it was easy to adapt this to the MoonLite based code. My solution consists of the following: hardware: - SkyWatcher DC focuser (only the motor is used, the handbox is replaced by the Arduino) - Arduino UNO - Velleman motor controller shield for Arduino - 9 V power adapter to power the shield - Raspberry Pi software: - Arduino sketch with Geared Motor library (see below for link) - INDI server on RPi, and client (Ekos/Kstars) on Windows I've tested this setup on my SkyWatcher Explorer 150PDS and it runs fine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test the autofocus, due to absence of astrodarkness and clear skies. Since a DC focuser has no knowledge about the position of the actual focuser, the software assumes that position '0' is all the way in. Maximum position is 25000 for my setup. By default, focus is increased by 100 steps, which is supposed to be 100 ms of motor drive. BTW, the code is in my GitHub repository: https://github.com/wberlo/Arduino_Moonlite_Focuser
INDI weather station
wimvb posted a topic in DIY AstronomerFor quite some time now I've been working on a small weather station. The idea is to add automation to an obsy I'm building. The weather station as is measures temperature, humidity, pressure and presence of cloud. I also have the components to build a rain detector, but haven't implemented that yet. First the box: Made from vent covers and pieces of aluminium All put together With sensors. The IR sensor is in the far back (top of the housing) and the BME280 sensor is the free hanging red pcb. The other pcb holds a few pull-up resistors and a capacitor for the I2C wires. Insulation added to keep critters out. First I thought of using an Arduino to control and collect the data, but recently I started tinkering with ESP32 wifi boards. These are a lot faster and have more memory than Arduinos, and I wanted to use microPython. The ESP32 board is also smaller than an Arduino UNO (about the size of an Arduino nano) and has built in wifi, which means I just need power to the device. I uploaded the code to GitHub https://github.com/wberlo/indi_meteostation Output is as a HTML file (index.html) which presents data in a simple way. The INDI driver 'Weather Watcher' can read this file. For now, temperature is mapped to temperature (of course), and 'clouds' is mapped to 'forecast/Weather' in INDI. 'Clouds' is a parameter that varies from 0 to 1. I used the same criteria as the AAG Cloud Watcher device: if sky temperature is less than -8 degrees, the sky is assumed cloud free. For a sky temperature between -8 and 0 degrees, there is partial cloud, and for a sky temperature higher than 0 degrees, the sky is overcast. This seems very arbitrary, and I expect to have to adjust this piece of code later. Major update: The weather station now also reads and reports the SQM values from my wifi-SQM. See further down this thread for details.
Adding 3rd Party INDI Drivers to RPi for Astro Imaging
Gina posted a blog entry in Astro ProjectsThis blog describes Installing 3rd Party Drivers into a Raspberry Pi having installed Ubuntu MATE and followed the instructions to run the AstroPi3 script to install INDI and other astro related software. SSH has been enabled so that now the RPi can be accessed remotely from Terminal. eg. ssh gina@rpi where gina is my user name and rpi is the computer name as set up during the Ubuntu MATE installation. This set up process is detailed in my blog :- Setting up a Raspberry Pi for Astro Imaging and Control - Updated Feb 2020 for RPi 3B & RPi 3B+
INTRODUCTION This is a tutorial explaining how to install an operating system and software into a micro SD card to use in a Raspberry Pi 3B or Raspberry Pi 3B+ for astro imaging and control of the relevant hardware. The software to capture images, control camera cooling and other things such as the mount etc. is called INDI and provides a set of drivers to control all the hardware. The Raspberry Pi will run in what is called "headless" mode - meaning that no human interfaces are directly connected to the RPi - instead the RPi is connected to the local area network (LAN) using either Ethernet (preferred for speed and reliability) or WiFi. Everything is then controlled from indoors on a computer also connected to the LAN. This computer is called a "client" and the Raspberry Pi a "server". This tutorial will detail all the steps involved in installing the operating system and software - there are rather a lot of them, hence the need for a tutorial but there is a script that is downloaded that does all the difficult stuff. I believe that anyone with some knowledge of computers should be capable of following these steps and setting up a working Linux based astro imaging system. The Raspberry Pi can be put on the pier (or tripod) or even directly on the telescope mounting and would replace a laptop for instance, reducing the use of long cables etc. The operating system used is Ubuntu Mate and involves using a monitor, keyboard and mouse (or trackball) in order to set up the operating system and enable remote control before the RPi can be used headless in the observatory or on a tripod. The Raspberry Pi is a "proper" computer though a bit slower and with less storage space that a desktop or laptop (called a Single Board Computer). When powered up the operating system goes into a setup routine and you just have to answer the questions, same as when setting up any computer. Near the beginning there's an opportunity to set up WiFi so you'll need your WiFi password if you want to use WiFi. This section can be skipped if using Ethernet cable rather than WiFi.

Nexstar Raspberry Pi Controller
tekkydave posted a topic in DIY AstronomerInspired, as usual by Gina's exploits with a Raspberry Pi and Indi I decided to have a go myself. I have ordered an RPi 3 and await arrival. In the meantime I decided to modify a cheap 28BYJ-48 stepper motor for bipolar operation following Gina's instructions. Then I tested the motor with a Pololu A4988 stepper driver I had left over from my 3D printer build using details I found here and it worked first time. I needed a 12V supply to drive the 5V motor as now the windings are being used in series. Once the Pi arrives I will be installing Raspbian, Indi and connecting up to my Nexstar 127 SLT and then building a new focuser using my existing sketch and the motor I modded today.
Raspberry Pi 3 + INDI -> Astro Imaging Automation
zfedoran posted a topic in DIY AstronomerHey guys, I recently found out about INDI and Ekos and was curious to see how well it worked (check it out here). I had a raspberry Pi collecting dust and after a couple minor setup steps, my equipment was recognized and connected. My mount, DSLR, shutter release serial cable, and guide camera all connect directly to the Raspberry Pi. I then connect to the Pi from my mac laptop using SSH and the Virtual Machine provided by http://www.indilib.org/. The nice thing about the PI is that it uses little power (about 0.5 amps at 5v), has 4 usb ports, and has built in wifi. I picked up a usb battery bank for the Pi and threw the two into a project box. I'm fairly sure the Pi would run 20 - 40 hours on this small battery alone. Anyways, I've seen a couple posts touching on this subject and thought I should share my efforts as I'm quite excited about it. It seems like it will perform better than my previous setup. My previous setup consisted of an intel compute stick, small usb hub, 12v battery with a 5v converter, and an additional windows laptop to control it all. I would connect all my gear to the stick through the usb hub. In order to get everything going, I'd remote desktop into the compute stick through my windows laptop. This worked ok, but the compute stick (running windows) was unreliable, there were a number of imaging sessions where it decided it would be best to install an update for half an hour. Other times, it refused to auto connect to the wifi hotspot without logging in, meaning I could not remote desktop into it and would need to connect a screen. Eventually, I tried using a LattePanda board as well but had similar experiences due to Windows 10. Regardless, I do recommend the LattePanda for windows applications, it is a slightly stronger board than the Pi and has an Arduino built in but unfortunately is not too great at running linux yet.

Call for 10Micron mount owners that are interested in INDI
lambermo posted a topic in DIY AstronomerHi all, The 10Micron mounts extend the LX200 protocol which means that their basics can be controlled by anything that speaks LX200. The Mount Command Protocol as 10Micron calls it is fully documented (I would not have bought this mount otherwise). I've started a 10Micron INDI device driver to support the extensions, based off of LX200Generic so that it inherits basic LX200 functionality. First thing that was added was TCP/IP support so that the mounts' ethernet port can be used for control and free up the mounts' serial port for a GPS unit at the same time. This support was later moved up into the main INDI::Telescope class so that all INDI mounts that support it now can use ethernet  On connect the driver sets Ultra Precision Mode (needed for model building later on and helpful with pointing). It also retrieves basic properties like product name/control box type/firmware version. Next Park and Unpark are supported. Last pull request : https://github.com/indilib/indi/pull/167 Known TODO's - find out where J2000 needs translation to Jnow - support pointing model building. Maybe by porting MountWizzard (python with ties to ASCOM and SGpro) ? Who is interested in helping and/or has ideas on what needs to be implemented next ? -- Hans
KStars INDI Celestron AVX "erratic behaviour"
Magnus_e posted a topic in Discussions - SoftwareHi. In preperation for a remote box-observatory i have been setting up a pc for telescope controll and more. I now have Kubuntu working with a ssh tunnel and headless vnc setup. KStars is installed with all necesarry drivers for my celestron avx, eos 550d and orion autoguider. Everything starts up in KStars and i have controll over all the exuiptment, except! The issue. 1. When slewing to an object using the nextstar hc on the mount: Recticle in KStars moves in the same path as the telescope, and ends up at desired target. 2. When slewing to a RA/DEC coordinate in INDI control panel -> Eq.Coordinates: Recticle moves as excpected and ends up on target. 3. When selecting a target in KStars gui, right clicking and selecting slew or track in mounts context menu: All kinds of craisyness.... The recticle moves erratic. Sometimes to high in the sky, and sometimes down in the ground. At one point i ended with the counterweight bar straight up and the scope pointing more or less at polaris, when telling it to slew to the zenith. The strange thing is that the recticle in KStars is pointing where the teleskope is pointing. So KStars "knows" that it's not pointing the scope at the target i selected, but it keeps on going. I was thinking it could be some time-site issue, but the t-s is set up in INDI control panel. Using INDI to slew manually, everything works as expected. Not 100% sure how the sync option works in KStars. Could i have synced to some random place in the sky and "un"calibrated KStars? Don't know how to undo it if that's the case. New to KStars and INDI. Hope someone can help with this issue. Magnus.
INDI mini cloud/weather monitor
wimvb posted a topic in DIY AstronomerI recently posted my design for a weather station in this section. https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/345153-indi-weather-station/ As I had bought several pressure/humidity sensors, as well as ir temperature sensors and ESP32 development boards, I wondered how small a weather monitor could get. The sensors are quite small, and so is the micro controller. Such a weather monitor wouldn't incorporate wind speed measurement nor a rain detector, since these take up more space. But otoh, there is seldom rain without clouds, so if you detect clouds, you should be safe. Here it is, a miniature (9.8 x 5.9 x 2.7 cm) weather monitor. The device has built in wifi, is powered from a micro usb contact and is compatible with the INDI Weather Watcher driver. The parts: (the mat underneath has a 1 inch grid pattern) BOM: plastic box 9.8 x 5.8 x 2.7 cm a piece of V-board, in my case with copper islands rather than strips ESP32 development board with male headers MLX90614 ir temperature sensor with I2C interface BME280 environmental sensor with I2C interface micro usb cable and power adapter, or a powerbank for wireless operation Assembly is really easy and involves drilling a hole in the box, soldering the components in place and wiring to the ESP. The finished monitor in place. As this is a box with a click lid, I used silicone to seal it. The holes on the sides and bottom are drilled at an angle to keep rain out. As I built it, the electronics will heat the BME slightly, and because it is mounted inside the casing, it will be slow to reach ambient temperature should this change abruptly. Adding more holes near the ESP would take the inside temperature down. Otoh, temperature readings don't have to be that accurate, and you could use the MLX ambient reading for more accuracy. Here's the INDI control panel for the weather monitor (Wind and rain are simulated, because I was testing the driver when I took the screen shot) Here is how it looks in Ekos scheduler. The red marker indicates that weather conditions are bad. In this case clouds = 100 %. If the tickbox next to "Weather" is checked, Ekos will allow weather conditions to control an imaging sequence. And in the ROR driver (I know it says Dome, but the ROR driver is derived from the dome driver, and it's still under development. Besides, this is the simulator driver.) The code for the esp is on my github page: https://github.com/wberlo/indi_meteostation You need the files: bme280.py mlx90614.py boot.py (replace the ssid and password with your own, or comment/uncomment lines to create an access point) main_mini.py (which you will have to rename to main.py before uploading to the esp board)
Help, Which focus control box is this?
Waynescave posted a topic in Getting Started With ImagingHi guys Can anyone identify which control box this is? Is it focusmaster? And does it run off robofocus driver in Indi lib as I cannot get a successful connection (in indi within ekos) I bought a robofocus motor with this control box second hand. I have faith with seller that hardware works as should. I've tried other cables and USB ports too. The software (k stars) I use does do port search when connecting equipment.. Any help appreciated Wayne
Hi, So, I have a minor setup issue for my automation setup. Here is a brief overview of my setup: Raspberrypi on the scope connected to a powered usb hub. Connected to the hub are a external wifi card (raspberry pi3 wifi is weak), an astromodified Canon 550D, a QHY5L-II for guiding and an EQ6 pro mount. The camera and QHY are connected to an OAG. The QHY5 is also connected to the mounts ST4 port. On the Rasperry Pi 3 I am running xubuntu with INDI server and PHD2 installed. Using realvnc to view phd2. indi server + webserver starts on boot, static ip on external wifi card starts on boot. On my laptop I have EKOS to connect to indi server and phd2 for guiding. I am running phd2 on the raspberrypi to hopefully this will let PHD2 have a more direct (faster) connection to the guide camera. My issue: Their appears to be a disabled install of ufw which has some groups under iptables. I enabled the ufw and enbled the ports 4400, 7642 (PHD2), 8624 (indiweb), 7624(indi) however the guiding suite of Ekos would not connect to PHD2. I disabled ufw and flushed the iptables and tried again with the above ports however the same result. In the end I have opened all the ports to allow the connection to proceed, which is ok for short term but ideally I would want some security. Does anyone know which ports I should open to get indi, indiweb and phd2 to talk nicely to my laptop EKOS version? Anyone else running a similar setup successfully? Can you give me any indications of what pitfalls to avoid? Thanks
Setting Up Headless Raspberry Pi 3 for INDI Focuser
Gina posted a topic in DIY AstronomerProcedures for installing Raspbian and INDI library etc. on a new Raspberry Pi 3 B and micro SD card. I shall insert links where appropriate to places where various pieces of hardware and software may be obtained. In most cases there are other sources of hardware which might be cheaper (but not necessarily better). I shall describe the procedures as I do them with suggestions I think appropriate. I shall post in fairly small steps to make things as clear as I can as I hope this will be useful to others. The operating system is Raspbian Jessie Lite (Release date: 2016-09-23) which is a minimal installation with no GUI and hence called "headless". This will be installed on a new 8GB micro SD card using a USB card adapter and Win32DiskImager software to install using Windows (I'm using Win7).
In the development of my rotating astro imaging rig using camera lenses, I have the requirement to control the camera rotation plus focussing and possibly zoom if I go for zoom lenses, in addition to image capture and mount control which is already covered in the INDI server and drivers for the Raspberry Pi. ATM I'm doing this in the Arduino Nano and controlling it with Windows and control software written in Visual Basic. This uses a Win 7 laptop in the observatory controlled remotely via TeamViewer. I want to replace this with a Raspberry Pi and Linux. I already have an all sky camera running INDI Server and controlled by KStars/Ekos on Linux Mint box indoors. I'm using a standard INDI driver to control an RPi HAT and thence dew heaters. The driver works but doesn't have a dedicated user interface so I would like to change this too. I'm hoping I can get my head round modifying INDI drivers to suit my purposes and maybe write new drivers to extend control further. I have experience of various programming languages including C++ and Python etc. though I may need to revise my Python as it's been a few years since I last used it. I also have some knowledge of Linux. I would appreciate help in pointing me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
The final piece of the puzzle
Vox45 posted a topic in DIY AstronomerWhat a journey it has been I started down the dark path of DIY because of this forum. So many inspiring projects and so many people ready to help along the way that it gave me the confidence to start a second hobby, building stuff for my first hobby 1st project : Rowan Belt mode 2nd project: a power panel to power my scope and other devices so I only have 2 leads coming down the mount (power and data) 3rd project : build a bench power supply for the power panel when I have access to an electrical outlet 4th project : move away from Windows and use only open source softwares. I chose INDI and Kstars/Ekos and have no regrets 5th project : Use a Raspberry PI 3 at the mount to control everything (INDI) and a laptop to manage my session (Kstars/Ekos) Here is a short video showing all the pieces of the puzzle in action:

MLB First Five Inning Best Bets
No Events
MLB First Five Innings Betting Explained
Betting an MLB first five inning is the same concept as betting the first half of a football or basketball game in the sense that you are only betting on the result after 5 innings. Any scoring after the first five innings will have no impact on your bet. It is possible to bet the first five innings moneyline and against the spread. Like most baseball betting the bet types against the spread are more popular and lucrative. The typical line for a MLB first five inning bet is +/- .5 which means the favorite will have to be winning by at least one run and the underdog will have to be winning or be tied by the end of the fifth inning. MLB first five inning betting is the ideal bet type for teams that have a trend of getting off to a hot start or have better odds on a first five inning only bet. One strategy that has shown to be profitable for first five inning bets is betting home underdogs who tend to come out and play well in front of their home fans before talent and ability take hold in the second half of the game. If you need a refresher on how MLB Oddswork you can go check out our page on that.
MLB First Five Inning Example:
The Tampa Bay Rays are playing the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yard in Baltimore. The first five inning spread is set at +/- .5 with the Rays listed as the favorite. Since the Rays are the favorite (-.5) they must be winning by at least one to cover the first five innings spread. After 3 innings the score is still tied 0-0, but when Tommy Pham comes to the plate in the 4th with a man on second he belts a double and the run scores. After 4 innings the score is Rays 1 - Orioles 0. In a shocking turn of events in the bottom of the 5th inning Chris Davis manages to hit a baseball and it is a solo homerun knotting the score at 1 a piece. When the first five innings are over the score is tied 1-1, which means the Rays did not cover the (.5) line. If you bet the Orioles you would have won your bet and you can go ahead and cash that ticket!.
MLB First Five Innings Betting Trends
Tracking first five inning betting trends can be difficult and even when you find the data you need it is usually coming from a dozen different sources. With BetQL you will find all the relevant MLB first five inning betting data in one place. Not only can you create dashboards with BetQL but you can also save them for later, so if you are having trouble finding great value bets you can use create a dashboard specifically for finding value in first five inning bets. For example you can add in a team's ATS record both home and away to see how often they cover before you place your first five inning bet. BetQL is here to help give you the data to make an informed bets and to help you cash more tickets!

The incident is believed to have taken place just days before Dick was ejected from a California winery on Friday (09Apr10) when security staff suspected him of being intoxicated.
A taped 911 call from a female resident of the house, obtained by TMZ.com, describes the incident - the unnamed woman claims Dick, who she didn't recognise, wandered into her house in a confused, drunken state.
She tells the operator she doesn't think the intruder means any harm, but describes him as "loony" and "absolutely wasted".
She says, "I have an intruder in my house. He walked right into my house, but I don't think he's going to hurt us. My husband took him outside. He's definitely under the influence of something. I'm very scared, please send the cops over. He's absolutely loony, he's absolutely wasted. He said something about he thought his son was here. He's really off his rocker. He's white, he looks well-to-do. He looks like a rich white man. Now my son is following him because he's going over to someone else's house to do the same thing."
Dick was picked up by police officers and escorted home. He was not arrested and the family declined to press charges, according to TMZ.com.
The incident is the latest in a string of troubles for Dick - he is currently facing charges of felony first degree sexual assault for allegedly grabbing a security guard's crotch and kissing a male guest at a bar in Huntington, West Virginia without invitation in January (10).
The case will go to court in June (10).

Sidmouth Cricket Club beat Werrington as preparations for new Devon Cricket League season begin
PUBLISHED: 17:02 13 April 2019 | UPDATED: 17:02 13 April 2019
Sidmouth Cricket Club began their preparations for the upcoming Devon Cricket League season in perfect style with a seven wicket win over Werrington.
Tom Simmons took three wickets before Rory Thomas' remarkable 56 from 26 balls helped secure the win for Sidmouth.
The game was the first pre-season friendly for the squad as they get ready for their league opener against Bovey Tracey in three weeks time.
The hosts won the toss and elected to bowl.
Werrington, who replaced Sidmouth's original opponents Budleigh Salterton during the week, sent out openers Adams and Baldock who put on a 34 run partnership before Will Murray took the first wicket of the afternoon. His delivery was nicked by Adams into the hands of wicketkeeper Alex Barrow.
Adams' replacement was next to go as Lawson was bowled by Charlie Miles having added a further 24 to the score. Werrington's Smith was out and soon back in again, slicing a ball to mid-wicket and going for a duck off just two balls.
The visitors' other opener Baldock was progressing nicely until his strike from a Matt Cooke delivery found the hands of Patidar. He ended the day with 32 runs to his name and the score at 101-4.
Sidmouth's Tom Simmons proceeded to tear his way through the middle order by removing the wickets of Searle and Warne in quick succession to leave the visitors on 132-6. He later added Hodgson to his tally with the final wicket of the innings. Dinnis and Barnard were both run out.
The visitors toiled to finish on 188-9 at the end of the 45 overs.
Sidmouth started their innings strongly as Rory Thomas raced to his half century. Hitting six sixes and three fours, he reached 56 in just 26 balls before being bowled by Dinnis.
His partnership of 85 with fellow opener Alex Barrow, who also wasn't afraid to swing the bat around, set the home side on their way to the win.
Cooke was the next wicket to fall as Dinnis dismissed him for 9 from 15 balls. Barrow then dug in alongside Henry Gater as the home side progressed past the 100 mark and chased down Werrington's score.
Gater hit full marks on four occasions before eventually being caught by Dinnis from a Smith delivery on 57.
The hard work had largely already been done though and Nick Mansfield came into see Sidmouth over the line along with Barrow who carried the bat through the innings.
Sidmouth next face Bourton Vale at home on Saturday (April 20) at 1pm.

Careful, this article will contain spoilers for season 14 of Grey's Anatomy.
If the fan recently enjoyed the renewal of Ellen Pompeo's contract for another two seasons, the delight faded quickly. We learned this week that Grey's Anatomy's 14th season will have us bid farewell to two actresses and, therefore, two characters emblematic of the show. On the show for nearly a decade now, Sarah Drew and Jessica Capshaw's contract with ABC was terminated.
Sarah Drew stated that she learned about that less than 48 hours before it was announced through the media and that she didn't had time to process the information.The actress playing April Kepner said that she was as sad as the fans about this decision. Jessica Capshaw also declared being sad about her character's disappearance but she thinks that Arizona "will continue to live on and on in all of our consciences and our imaginations." She also said that it was a "rare privilege" to play Arizona Robbins and that she was "madly in love with playing her. Arizona Robbins is kind, intelligent, funny, insightful, bold, playful, fierce and really good at her job. She was one of the first members of the LGBTQ community to be represented in a series regular role on network television. Her impact on the world is permanent and forever."
The show's producers explained that this decision was a creative one. The showrunner of Grey's Anatomy, Krista Vernoff, announed to Deadline that "As writers, our job is to follow the stories where they want to go, and sometimes that means saying goodbye to characters we love. It has been a joy and a privilege to work with these phenomenally talented actresses." Shonda Rhimes, the show's creator, wanted to pay tribute to the characters and the actresses on Instagram.


text: Emerging Tech Motivating IT Professionals John Richard Wright @itworldca Published: October 24th, 2000"Don't Worry, Be Happy", a popular 1980s song, pretty much summed up that decade in North America, as corporate profits skyrocketed and opportunities abounded, particularly for IT professionals. But the economic downturn of the early 1990s heralded "right-sizing" and flatter, leaner organizations; corporate perks were replaced by longer work days and greater responsibilities; and remuneration and benefit structures failed to keep pace with bigger workloads. What's more, the implied corporate message to employees changed from: "We need and value your contribution," to "You're lucky to have a job."A popular theory among corporations at the time seemed to be that there was a great deal of work being done that didn't need doing – that work expanded in direct proportion to the amount of time and resources available. The solution? Take away the resources and welcome a leaner, more cost-effective organization with less bureaucracy, better decision-making capabilities and greater potential for profitability.Even IT professionals were not immune from the cost-cutting measures as companies across Canada sought to increase shareholder value through expense containment and outright cuts. As bottom-line oriented zealots slashed and burned their way to short-term goals, people found themselves out of work or languishing in organizations brutalized by downsizing.Unfortunately, the new formula for success did not provide for the possibility that work would not decrease, but merely change in the way it was executed. In short, the work didn't go away. New tools, new processes and new initiatives simply created more work, and an understaffed workplace found itself with an overworked, demoralized and tired workforce struggling to implement the strategies and actions necessary to gain the promised efficiencies.Meanwhile, highly skilled IT employees – terminated by their companies – typically either went to work for the competition or moved across the street, put up a shingle, and became the competition for their former employers.The inevitable result of all this: staffing to get the job done and retaining critical IT skills suddenly became fashionable again.Indeed, globalization and the much heralded potential for e-business has IT professionals more in demand than ever. Employers compete for the brightest and the best of computer professionals with job fairs, campus recruitment campaigns and signing bonuses, newspapers abound with job offerings in the IT field, and corporate headhunters regard IT specialists as nuggets to be carefully mined and resettled in new corporate digs.Why are companies so proactive in soliciting and retaining IT people? Consider the following. Media reports suggest that up to 200,000 programming jobs in the United States are unfulfilled and the employment potential for all IT professionals continues to grow. In addition, Canada's unemployment rate continues to weigh in at a significantly higher percentage than the unemployment rate for systems analysts, programmers and other IT specialists.Adding to the crunch, U.S. companies continue to extend their recruiting drives into Canada, eager for the IT skills that can turn their businesses into "E-Corporations" or give them a competitive advantage over others in their increasingly globalized industries. Indeed, attention is once more focused on the message: "We need and value your contribution . . . and we want you to stay."The New IT WorkForceUnfortunately, the increasing demand for skilled IT help comes at a time when employees have been conditioned to expect career or company changes as a matter of course during their lives. The traditional idea of joining and retiring from the same company is about as current as an episode of Leave It To Beaver. The crunch is also coming at a time when competition is heating up for IT skills as global competition and Internet services create new IT-based marketing initiatives on a daily basis. And it's happening at a time when employees are better informed, better educated and more mobile than ever before.The result of all this is that employers are looking for all the help they can get in motivating and retaining their IT employees. They're turning to people like Dr. Jerry Gray, Dean of Faculty of Management at the University of Manitoba, an expert on leadership and motivational theory. According to Dr. Gray, motivating, stimulating, educating and celebrating IT employees is certainly mission-critical. However, even at a time when the economy is enjoying a prolonged period of growth, lasting success will only come to corporations that involve all employees in planning and implementing their company's vision, mission, and strategy.Hyperbole? Not really when you consider that many a mighty Fortune 500 company has faded from the scene over the last decade. And with IT so vital to the success of just about every organization these days, the proper care and nurturing of IT employees has become a pressing priority on the HR front.Celebrating SuccessIn their recent book, Corporate Celebration – Play, Purpose and Profit at Work, authors Terrence Deal and M. Key have shown that "celebration is an important factor in major business issues such as leadership, profit, purpose, community, team building and more."After all, without acknowledging people and their achievements, the much heralded concept of corporate teamwork can become a euphemism for mass exploitation and drudgery. That's why companies have long maintained or are re-introducing forms of recognition for employees from "Employee of the Week" programs to lavish annual business conferences in exotic locations that promise as much 'fun' content as 'business' content.In their book, Deal and Key make a strong case for the art of corporate celebration. They show its many forms, and explain the fundamentals of fun so that employees can recapture joy at work, something many companies forgot during their belt-tightening era.The results, say Deal and Key, can include:restoring company spirit;reinvigorating employee morale;building commitment and loyalty;improving quality and financial performance;instilling work with meaning and joy.Aspects of Meaningful RecognitionMany corporate consultants previously offered the 'news' that recognition for employees did not have to come in the form of something that cost money. A pat on the back, an "attaboy! or attagirl!" or a sincere "thank you" sometimes did just as well. Companies embraced this new religion since it meant cost containment. Consider, however, how many corporate executive bonus structures are based on a sincere "thank you". Recognition must be tangible, credible, consistent and sincere.Says Dr. Gray: "Motivation doesn't necessarily come from a promise of more money, which we call 'jumping for jelly beans'; rather it comes from involvement in decision-making, along with recognition of the contribution made by an employee."For example, that could mean being asked to join an IT steering committee for a particular project; being invited to find ways to improve personal and company efficiencies by jettisoning useless work; being surveyed for opinions on the business – how it's being run and how it could be made better. In other words, involvement. The not-so-subliminal message that organizations should endeavour to convey is that the employees count.Beyond promotions, raises, and bonuses – and beyond that simple but extremely important "thank you" – rewards can encompass a wide variety of perks and recognitions including: education, prizes, parties, travel opportunities, sabbaticals, publicity, better office facilities, better opportunities to meet with peers, letters of commendation, trophies, certificates, other formal and informal awards, contract renewals, bulletin board postings (electronic and published), relaxation of dress codes, and even air miles.Is recognition necessary for motivation? Dr. Gray says yes. "It's not simply necessary, but critical to motivate and sustain employees during their careers. Failing to do so leads to apathy, disassociation and withdrawal." He maintains that the Achilles heel of large corporations is their inability to involve and motivate their people. The result is a growing trend for people to join smaller companies where they feel they can make a difference.A Customized Motivation ProgramShould IT employees be treated as special? Considering the high demand for them, and the vital role they play in business operations, a good case can be made for doing so.While most companies are loath to admit to special treatment for individuals or groups of employees, in fact it's done all the time. Consider the bonuses for sales reps that exceed quota, or the stock purchase plans and other perks offered to executives. It's obvious that recognition and motivation programs are customized according to stature, circumstance and ROI within corporations.Because of the growing importance and mission-critical function of the IT division, IT employees are long overdue for customized motivation and recognition programs. After all, today, more often than not, it is the IT department that is offering dollar savings (through improved processes), greater company exposure (through the Internet), business intelligence (data warehousing and data mining), improved operations (integration) and new and more efficient sales, marketing and distribution channels.Who could argue with the demonstrable business results achieved through IT initiatives? To name a few:Real-time access to informationSeamless communicationsImproved customer responsiveness and serviceNew process efficienciesBetter leverage of opportunitiesEnhanced decision-making capabilities, andCost avoidance and containmentDeveloping an IT motivation strategy should include not only fair and equitable remuneration, but also the opportunity for a rewarding and stimulating career path, the opportunity to work with leading-edge tools and technologies, and the opportunity to advance skill sets – not only IT skills but soft skills such as leadership and negotiation. The idea should be continually reinforced that IT professionals are vital and integral partners in the business, and as such, they should be recognized throughout the company for a job well done."When you are in a tight job market, as we are now seeing for IT professionals, the concept of motivation changes," says Dr. Gray. "What people do and how they are treated often outweighs the financial aspects of a job. If you don't treat people well, it will cost you more to keep them. Long term, employees will be motivated by a company they believe in and by a mission they believe in. It's as simple as that."John Richard Wright is a freelance writer based in Toronto.Would you recommend this article?00 Thanks for taking the time to let us know what you think of this article!
