NASA unveils its new Mars habitat concept
Space 8th January 2017 Matthew Griffin 1
- When the first astronauts arrive on Mars they're going to need somewhere to eat, live and sleep, and NASA's new icy concept could be just the home away from home they always wanted
There are a lot of hoops to jump through before anyone can set foot on Mars but, among all of the other challenges, one of the most challenging involves trying to figure out how the Martian astronauts will live their daily lives. Now, after a days worth of brainstorming, yes, a whole day, NASA engineers think they have the answer. And that answer is inflatable habitats covered in ice. You hear me right.
Based on the simulations NASA believes these new style habitats will be great places to sleep, eat and live and that they'll protect the crews from the extreme temperatures and high radiation found on the red planet.
"After a day dedicated to identifying needs, goals, and constraints we rapidly assessed many crazy, out of the box ideas and finally converged on the current Ice Home design, which provides a sound engineering solution," said senior systems engineer Kevin Vipavetz, from NASA's Langley Research Centre in Virginia.
The very mention of the words ice, and ice home, bring igloos to mind and if you had an igloo pictured in your head you wouldn't be far off. Officially the new concept is called the Mars Ice Home and it's an inflatable, balloon like habitat that when inflated fully is covered with a thick sheet of protective ice.
"The Mars Ice Home design has several advantages that make it an appealing concept. It is lightweight and can be transported and deployed with simple robotics, then filled with water before the crew arrives," said the team behind the design, "it incorporates materials extracted from Mars, and because water in the Ice Home could potentially be converted to rocket fuel for the Mars Ascent Vehicle, the structure itself doubles as a storage tank that can be refilled for the next crew."
The main aim of the Ice Home concept is to protect astronauts from high energy radiation, such as cosmic rays, that can penetrate the Martian atmosphere which can damage cells, and raise a slew of health concerns, such as cancer and acute radiation sickness. However, since ice is hydrogen rich it acts as a shield against the dangerous rays.
"The materials that make up the Ice Home will have to withstand many years of use in the harsh Martian environment, including ultraviolet radiation, charged particle radiation, possibly some atomic oxygen, perchlorates, as well as dust storms," explained researcher Sheila Ann Thibeault.
Asides from offering protection from the harsh environmental realities of Mars, the Ice Home would also be super light which is a big boost, bearing in mind that the recently announced SpaceX Falcon Heavy, which when built will be twice as powerful as the previous record holder, the Saturn V, can only lift 54 tons into orbit at a time – and that will include other cargo and all of the crew, as Elon Musk touted when he first announced SpaceX's plans to head for the Red planet last year.
According to the design team, another good way of living on Mars is to live underground, which offers the best protection from all of the harmful things on the surface, to do that though the team would need some form of shelter while they burrow, and again, the team thinks that the Mars Ice Home could be the perfect solution.
"After months of travel in space, when you first arrive at Mars and your new home is ready for you to move in, it will be a great day," sais team member Kevin Kempton.
Without the inflatable habitat, which the team says can inflate and cover itself with ice extracted from the Martian landscape in about 400 Earth days, researchers would have to have to find a way to get heavy drilling and digging machines on Mars to create underground shelters before astronauts got there, a concept that would be far too complicated and expensive.
In the meantime though the ice home is just a concept, but as we start turning our attention, and our dollars, on getting to the Red Planet in a few years time we might find out that it's getting packed up and shipped out, headed for Mars.

John, I don't have a reference for the shotcrete forces, but I have used shotcrete on two projects and have made some observations. The first project was a one story seismic retrofit project and we constructed shear walls out of shotcrete. The shotcrete was sprayed up against some plywood forms and one person (the "nozzleman") controlled the spray without any problems. I don't think the forces from the spray were very big. The only problem we had was rebound of the material inside the facility. The other project was a large tie-back wall constructed to stabilize a slope. I prepared the performance spec for the project and another very capable firm did the actual design work for the wall (i.e., a specialty foundation subcontractor). This wall was very large and shotcrete was used for the facing. The engineer of record called for a 14" thick facing wall with double reinforcing and fc' of 5000 psi. My firm helped the client with Construction Management, and I was concerned about several things including: achievement of the design parameters; potential for voids in the 14" thick wall; and application methods. We had the contractor prepare a rather large test panel and he successfully got consistent cored concrete break strengths over 4,000 psi, but not the 5,000 as designed. A slight re-design of the wall (by the subcontractor) was made in order to make everything work with the lower compressive strength. The concrete cores revealed very few voids in the shotcrete, so that concern went away. The application method was a bit unusual because this contractor had extremely large nozzle forces. A single nozzleman could not control the hose (this was a larger diameter hose with a greater flow capacity), and because of safety concerns the contractor asked to use an attachment of the hose/nozzle to a bobcat. We did not like this method because the nozzleman really controls the quality of the shotcrete application. How could a bobcat serve this function? To be short, we witnessed the proposed application method in the field and the bobcat operator was very experienced. All concrete design parameters were being met, so we let the contractor go with his idea. The wall was successfully placed and was completed on a very agressive schedule! My advice would be to find out how the contractor plans on applying the shotcrete. Will one person hold the hose? If so, the forces probably won't be excessive. However, if bigger hoses are used to cover large areas or place the material quickly, then larger forces will be placed on the back-up material. Hope this helped, Michael Ritter, PE Lockwood Greene Technologies > -----Original Message----- > From: John Schenne [SMTP:jschenne(--nospam--at)localnet.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 24, 1999 9:05 AM > To: seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org > Subject: Shotcrete Loading > > I am designing some bracing for a wall that is to be shotcreted.

Now bear witness to this primal scream therapy session.
I have long held the contention that German is comprised of merely 50 root words, endlessly rearranged and combined to make it one of the most complicated and difficult languages known to man.
Example: The two syllable darling known in English as a "matchbook" gets expanded to the whopping five syllable "Streichholzschachteln" which literally translates to something along the lines of "box of wooden sticks that you strike".
But if you break these impossibly long words down into their smaller components, you can easily suss out the definition based on the roots.
Here are a few examples.

It is a phenomenon that began the first month we were "trying." While on vacation this summer in Quebec we were seated in a restaurant and my husband started laughing – above my head hung a large, rather grotesquely vivid painting of hugely pregnant woman in a red dress. As I anxiously awaited the day when I could pee on an informative stick, they only seemed to multiply. One would be standing beside me in the elevator, another would follow me onto the subway. It didn't help that we live in a neighborhood that seems, in certain seasons, a kind of hothouse experiment in human fertility. There it was – there were pregnant women everywhere.
I travel by rickshaw these days, which is odd. I mean, to be comfortable with rickshaw travel is not something I ever expected. But the fresh air, the cruising under the night sky just a little buzzed after a stop at Shantou's finest wine bar where elbows were rubbed against those of the budding bourgeois. Sometimes I think of the rickshaw as a time machine, transporting me back to a moment when the triangular straw hats and tattered short pants of the driver were no less obsolete than… rickshaws. Despite the allure, I think I'm witnessing the last days of rickshaw culture here in Shantou. Traffic is getting a little too car oriented and I can't imagine this mode of travel making it very long in such a fast growing city. There are other bits of local culture in Shantou, however, that seem perfectly safe for the forseeable future, and one of those was exactly what I set out to explore on the back of my rickshaw last Saturday night.

Zhuge Zhan

Zhuge Zhan (227–263),[1] courtesy name Siyuan, was a politician and military general of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He was a son of Shu Han's chancellor Zhuge Liang.
Early life[edit]
When Zhuge Zhan was 16 years old, the emperor of Shu, Liu Shan, arranged a marriage between his daughter and the adolescent, and made his son-in-law a Captain of the Cavalry, a title slightly lower than that of a general. One year later, the captain was promoted to General of the Household, serving as an imperial guardian. Henceforth, the prince consort constantly received promotions, and served many posts, including both civil and military appointments.
Besides his many official titles, Zhuge Zhan was an artist who was particularly good at painting and calligraphy. Since the people of Shu yearned for the deceased Zhuge Liang, they especially loved Zhuge Zhan's talents.[2] Whenever there was a good policy set up within the state, the citizens would credit Zhuge Zhan with it, even though it actually had nothing to do with him.[3] As Zhuge Liang banned the post of Historian in Shu, it was hard to distinguish which policy was suggested by Zhuge Zhan, and which was not, but Zhuge Zhan's reputation was surely greater than his real accomplishment.[4]
Pinnacle of power[edit]
His frequent promotions had been continuing until the prince consort reached the ceiling of the imperil administrative system — the Imperial Secretariat. At the same time, Zhuge Zhan was appointed the acting commander of imperial defensive forces and acting director of all military generals. Since his ascension to Imperial Secretariat, Zhuge Zhan's power within Shu appeared unrivaled, as veteran generals like Liao Hua, who served as the Right General of Chariot and Cavalry (top ranked military position, only next to Grand General and General of the Elite Cavalry), still had to buy the prince consort off for their political prospect.[5]
While a son of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Zhan realized the danger of over-extending the military. After Jiang Wei became the paramountcy of the army, Zhuge Zhan attempted to restrain the former from constantly waging wars against Cao-Wei. When Jiang Wei finally suffered a crushing defeat from Deng Ai, Zhuge Zhan memorialized the emperor that Jiang Wei should be stripped off from military command and replaced by Yan Yu, who, although a personal friend of the notorious Huang Hao, was said to be a capable general. Zhuge's memorial to Liu Shan was archived by some respected elders in Shu region even at the time of Jin Dynasty.[6] However, it is not known whether the emperor listened to the Prince consort's suggestion, because Jiang Wei dared not return to Chengdu when he knew his failure had drawn him much resent from the people of Shu. But Zhuge Zhan's proposal of switching from an offensive stance to a defensive stance was somehow compromised by Liu Shan, who had earlier replaced Wei Yan's tried-and-trusted defensive layout with a high-risk-high-reward strategy presented by Jiang Wei.
Previously, Wei Yan invented a defense mechanism to hinder and repel invading forces by setting up "covering camps" on the outskirt and exits of trails leading to Hanzhong territory. Even after Wei Yan's death, Shu had been following his arrangement, successfully driving out Cao-Wei forces every time. However, Jiang Wei argued Wei Yan's design "could only repel the enemy but not reaping big profit." To anticipate a Wei attack, Jiang Wei proposed to abandon the camps set up by Wei Yan and vacate all the passes in the Qin Mountains (Qinling), so the Cao Wei army would slide deeper into Hanzhong, where the weary expedition force would be blocked and vulnerable to a Shu counterattack upon retreat.[7] Jiang Wei claimed his arrangement could achieve a decisive victory previously unimaginable when they had just defended along the Qinling ridges. Since the lobbyist's analysis was of decent logic and merit, Zhuge Zhan did not oppose dismantling Wei Yan's intertwined fortifications.
Futile effort to defend Shu[edit]
In early 263, Jiang Wei requested reinforcement be sent from Chengdu when Wei general, Zhong Hui, received the staff of authority to command the western regions. But Liu Shan made the wrong judgment to believe in Huang Hao's witchcraft theory that destiny dictated Wei would not attack, at the time not informing Zhuge Zhan of Jiang Wei's warnings.[8] However, reinforcements were nevertheless sent before engagement started.[9]
When Cao Wei mobilized in September, Jiang Wei's plan worked — only for its first half that Wei's forces advanced unopposed until they reached the fortresses of Han (汉) and Yue (乐), which served as a bait to wear the enemies out.[10] However, enemy commander, Zhong Hui, simply split out two detachments to besiege the two cities, and swiftly continued to press on. Meantime, Jiang Wei was consecutively defeated by Wang Qi and Yang Yan (杨欣), and was forced to change the entire plan spontaneously into relying on the defense of Jian'ge (剑阁), where the great tower finally blocked Zhong Hui's advance.[11] Knowing Jiang Wei's plan failed and had sown seeds of destruction, Zhuge Zhan later assembled a force and moved to Fu city to await news from the front-lines.
Battles with Deng Ai, and death[edit]
The aforementioned military movements happened within weeks, Zhong Hui's rapid advance was beyond most Shu general's comprehension, as they realized the danger of letting the enemy in, Jiang Wei and his comrades were struck in Jian'ge. Knowing Jian'ge would not easily fall, Zhuge Zhan did not send additional troops there, but kept his position in Fu County. When the Wei general, Deng Ai, suddenly appeared in Jiangyou (江由) though a treacherous trail, the local Grand Administrator was shocked and subsequently surrendered, providing the former a foothold. In Huang Quan's biography in Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded that Huang Chong, son of the defector Huang Quan, urged Zhuge Zhan on numerous occasions to secure advantageous terrain before Deng Ai would get to a flat plain.[12] Like his father Zhuge Liang, the son was also a chary person, who deemed Huang Chong's plan too ambitious; Zhuge Zhan preferred a "more cautious approach." However, when Huang bawled and repeatedly pushed the commander for an offensive, Zhuge Zhan relented and tentatively attacked the enemy with the van, which was promptly destroyed by Deng Ai. Then, Zhuge Zhan left Fu for a better fortified Mianzhu (绵竹), and planned to have a final showdown with his pursuer.[13]
When Deng Ai tailed the loser to Minzhu, he gave a last chance to Zhuge Zhan and promised to recommend the latter to be "King of Langye." But Zhuge Zhan executed Deng Ai's messenger, moved out from the fortress, and supposedly arranged the famous military formation improved by Zhuge Liang — Eight Trigrams Formation. The array involved the highest-ranked officials present in Minzhu, including grandson of Zhang Fei and Imperial Secretariat, Zhang Zun (張遵), Right Commander of Feathered Imperial Guards, Li Qiu (李球), the aforementioned Huang Chong, Zhuge Zhan, and Zhan's son, Zhuge Shang. After Huang Chong performed a speech in front of the army to boost the morale, Zhuge Zhan asked Deng Ai to attack his position. Deng Ai ordered his son, Deng Zhong, and Major, Shi Zuan (师纂), to flank Zhuge's position. The two generals then moved to the formation's left and right, but were intercepted and beaten by their adversary, only Deng Ai's central army remained intact. Deng Zhong and Shi Zuan returned to Deng Ai, stating the enemy could not be broken, and suggested the commander to order a general retreat. But Deng Ai angrily told the duo that the battle must be won for them to live another day, and even threatened his subordinates with death penalty if the duo were to be defeated again. Thus, Deng Zhong and Shi Zuan dashed back and led a raid that successfully broke the formation.[14] Zhuge Zhan, along with his son, resisted the enemies until the father and son were finally butchered.
In fiction[edit]
The depiction of his ill-fated defense of Shu capital in Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms was quite dramatized. When Liu Shan, the Shu Han emperor, asked Zhuge Zhan to think of a plan to save the state, he thought of a plan by dressing up like his father Zhuge Liang, to scare the enemy off. His ruse shocked Cao Wei army into believing Zhuge Liang indeed returned from the dead. However, under leardership of Deng Ai, the Wei army regrouped and attacked again, sending Zhuge to the underworld in the process.
Zhuge Zhan died defending Mianzhu Pass with his son Zhuge Shang, along with Huang Chong (son of Huang Quan), hopelessly outnumbered.

Why you need horsebox insurance
If you own a horsebox then you want to be sure that you're fully protected against risks such as vandalism, theft and breakdowns. Horseboxes are different from horse trailers in that they require their own type of insurance in order to be legal to drive. A horse trailer is usually covered by car insurance but this is not the case with a horse trailer so you'll need to seek out insurance for your own protection and that of other road users.
Getting the best deal on horsebox insurance
Owning a horse is expensive enough as it is, so you want to take any steps you can in order to reduce the cost of horsebox insurance. Below are some of the best ways to do this –
- Pay for your policy annually – If you can pay for your policy annually then you'll be able to make a significant saving on the overall cost. Of course you will pay more upfront this way but you save more in the long term.
- Increase excess – Excess is what you would pay if you had to make a claim on your policy. The more excess you pay, the lower your premium. This is a somewhat risky way to save money but if you feel you're unlikely to need to make a claim then it's definitely worth considering.
- Get a limited mileage policy – A limited mileage policy is where you and your insurance provider agree to a certain number of miles that you will stay believe in a given period of time (usually over the course of the policy). This is a very effective way to get a better price for horsebox insurance.
- Get quotes from many providers – It's always worth getting quotes from multiple insurance providers when looking for horsebox insurance. This way you can easily compare them and choose the best policy.

The Soviet Union imploded for a variety of reasons, all of which boil down to one major overarching reason: at its core Soviet communism was a self-destructive concept destined to fail eventually. The Soviet Union failed when it did because Presidents Truman through Reagan contained the "evil empire" militarily long enough for American economic muscle to prevail. Reagan, who knew the Soviet Union's socialist economy could never keep up with America's quasi-free market, used SDI to precipitate a financial collapse when the USSR was forced to spend more than its economy could bear trying to keep up militarily.
Now the world is faced with Vladimir Putin, an old-style hard-liner in the mold of Stalin and Kruschev, who is determined to re-establish the Soviet Union. His first step was to reclaim the Crimea and its strategically located port of Sevastopol. His next acquisition is likely to be Ukraine or, at the very least, the eastern, pro-Russia region of Ukraine. Up to this point, President Obama has ignored America's traditional policy of containment, preferring instead to use empty words in the manner of Neville Chamberlain. The president has applied a few meaningless sanctions aimed not at taking down the Russian economy but at inconveniencing a select few compatriots of President Putin. Throughout the Crimean affair Putin, who is the leader of a weak nation, has managed to look strong while Obama, who is the leader of a strong nation, has managed to look weak.
President Obama has no one but himself to blame for looking like a toothless tiger in the eyes of America's allies and enemies. After all, he tied his own hands in this little skirmish because he has spent the past six years weakening both the American military and our economy. Consequently, Obama is in no position to pull a Reagan on Russia and its expansion minded president. He cannot contain Russian expansionism, nor is he willing to do what is necessary to push the Russian economy over the edge precipitating another financial collapse in that country. However, in spite of Obama's ineptitude good fortune may be smiling on him and bad fortune may be lurking in the shadows behind Vladimir Putin.
Russia's economy—already struggling before Putin's Crimean adventure—is taking some major hits because of it. The issues undermining Russia's already shaky economy have nothing to do with President Obama's meaningless sanctions and everything to do with the principles of free-market economics. Putin's Ukraine excursion and fears that he will nationalize or personally take over private sector companies has foreign investors leaving Russia in droves. In 2013, more than $60 billion in foreign investment left Russia. Now in 2014, Russia lost another $70 billion in just the first three months of the year.
Russia has a two-trillion dollar economy. It cannot afford to lose the foreign investment it has relied on so heavily in building a market economy. Foreign investors are essential to the Russian economy, but they are being scared off by Putin's antics coupled with the corruption that is so much a part of the Russian economy. Of the major economies in the world, Russia's is the most corrupt. Not only is money fleeing Russia, so are highly educated professionals. Putin's imitation of former Soviet leaders such as Stalin and Kruschev has created a brain-drain in which the best and brightest in Russian society have begun to seek refuge in Eastern Europe.
The brain drain and financial drain are serious problems that are being felt right now, but they are not the worst of the challenges faced by Russia's economy. The real challenges are more long term in nature. For example, when was the last time you went to an automobile dealership and bought a Russian-made car? When was the last time you bought a Russian-made television, computer, cell phone, refrigerator, washer, dryer, or anything else Russian made for that matter? The answer to both of these questions is "never" because Russia does not make anything for export other than military hardware. Unless you are looking to purchase a MIG, you will have to look somewhere else.
Russia's entire economy is based on exporting raw materials, principally natural gas and oil. In fact, these two commodities represent more than 70 percent of all Russian exports. Russia's economy is built on the export of natural gas and oil. For the time being this stands the Russian economy in good stead since both are high-value commodities. However, Russia is doing nothing to prepare itself for the inevitable day when demand for these two commodities will decline or when Russia's supply of them will dwindle. Consequently, as long as the Russian economy is based on tapping into resources that are finite, it will be unable to sustain itself in the long run. The key to economic survival in a global economy is transforming raw materials into useful products for which there is strong worldwide demand. Think of Japan and Korea and the success they have had in the consumer electronics and automobile markets.
Finally, should Putin's excursion into Ukraine backfire on him and create another Chechnya where Russian soldiers are ground up daily by a determined opposition that values freedom over safety and security, his days as Russian president and his vision for re-establishing the "evil empire" will both go up in flames. If this happens, and it well might, it will happen after President Obama is long out of office. However, if it happens I expect he will take credit for it anyway. If it doesn't happen during his lifetime, he will blame George W. Bush.

Non-Robosapien, Non-Robopet Hacks?
Submitted by Jeff Block on Wed, 03/07/2007 - 09:24
I've seen some great hacks floating around for Robosapien (various versions) and a few for Robopet, but not much in the way of hacks for Roboreptile, Roboraptor, etc.
OR... Has anyone gotten their hands on a Chimpanzee or Dragonfly or some other newer / stranger bot and made modifications to it?

Bass Concert Hall
$39.50 - $59.50
Sun Radio 100.1fm presents
Long considered a "songwriter's songwriter," JOHN PRINE is a rare talent who writes the songs other songwriters would sell their souls for. Evidence of this is the long list of songwriters who have recorded gems from his extensive catalog, including Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, the Everly Brothers, John Denver, Kris Kristofferson, Carly Simon, Ben Harper, Joan Baez, and many others. With immeasurable accolades, including two Grammys and the distinction of being one of the few songwriters honored by the Library of Congress and US Poet Laureate, Prine is more than a musician…he is an American treasure.
"He's so good, we're gonna have to break his fingers," Kris Kristofferson once said after being justifiably stunned by a Prine performance. Bob Dylan remarked, "Beautiful songs… Nobody but Prine could write like that."
Long before the awards, all the concerts and many, many albums, John Prine trudged through snow in the cold Chicago winters, delivering mail across Maywood, his childhood suburb. "I always likened the mail route to a library with no books," says John Prine. "I passed the time each day making up these little ditties." Many of the songs he penned on the route landed on his classic self-titled debut record.
Support for the concert is Justin Townes Earle.
About Justin Townes Earle
Fresh off the success of his recently released album, Single Mothers, Justin Townes Earle announced the companion album Absent Fathers to be released January 13, 2015. Also comprised of 10 tracks, Absent Fathers was recorded alongside Single Mothers as a double album, but as Justin began to sequence it, he felt each half needed to make its own statement and they took on their own identities.
In describing Single Mothers, NPR describes the album as "...mov[ing] between evocative portraits of place set in knotty emotional frames, prickly confessions of destructive patterns, and melancholic eloquence in the wake of short-lived love affairs." The Sun UK hailed the album, noting "Justin's songcraft is fast maturing and this is a concise exercise in laying emotions bare," while No Depression summed up Justin's career by saying " No longer needing to beg for attention, he's built a career that's brought him critical acclaim and a well-deserved reputation for consistent artistic integrity."
Single Mothers was released on September 9, 2014 via Vagrant Records and, combined with Absent Fathers, the double album perfectly showcases exactly why Justin Townes Earle is considered a forefather of Contemporary Americana.

Technically, BioShock Infinite has no multiplayer mode; you can only play the single-player story. But let's look beyond how we traditionally understand multiplayer games for a moment. If we do, what we find is that just because a game doesn't come packaged with a multiplayer mode doesn't mean it can't become a multiplayer experience. Multiplayer games are just games played by multiple people, right?
At one point during BioShock Infinite's development, traditional multiplayer was in the works, yes. We reported about two different multiplayer modes that were eventually axed: one that put players in an old-timey arcade machine, and one that was similar to the Spec-Ops mode in Call of Duty. According to our report, the idea was that multiplayer should be included as a means to deter people from trading Infinite in to used game stores, as multiplayer can prolong how much time people spend playing a game.

The Perfect Present
People's first inclination when a job, a relationship or something of the same importance in their life is not working is to start planning their escape to something else.
One of my teachers, Tom Brown "The Tracker," says, a fleeing animal is a vulnerable animal.
It is the same for you. If you are running away, then you are acting from a position of weakness, not strength. If you are running, even in your mind, you are vulnerable.
I suggest an alternative path.
Create a written "map" to make the present perfect (as perfect as it can be) for you.
First, make a list of aspects of the situation that are under your control that you can change to make the present more perfect. For example, in your work, you may be able to change your attitude, develop new skills, increase your willingness to do more, tighten your boundaries to do less or put a stop to the unpleasant behavior of others.
Then make a list of all the aspects that are not under your control that would make your current situation more perfect. For example, your list could include your boss's behavior, your physical offices and the pay scale of your organization.
Review the "not under your control" list for items you can influence indirectly. List those potential actions, and consider using them as your map to move forward.
Review the map. And (unless you are in physical or emotional danger) commit to taking dedicated action regarding the items on your list for a specific period of time. Share your commitment with someone (or many people) who can support you.
Then engage with full heart and mind.
Monitor your progress, your attitude and the reactions of others as you work your plan.
Seek the perfect in the present. You may find a surprise gift.
Live is precious. Don't waste a drop.

While braving the pain in her back, Aoko sped through the mirrored passageway.
Pulled along with her was Soujuurou, who was also running while she latched onto his hand.
"Aozaki, how badly did it get you?"

South Australia's embattled Water Minister Ian Hunter has gone to the state's Riverland to talk with irrigators about the future of the plan to guarantee water flows down the Murray.
Mr Hunter caused a storm recently when he fired expletives at other state water ministers and Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce before storming out of a meeting in Adelaide.
He was unhappy about the commonwealth's refusal to guarantee the final 450 gigalitres of environmental flows for the Murray that he says were part of a rescue plan legislated by the federal government.
Since then the state parliament's upper house has passed a no confidence motion in Mr Hunter because of his behaviour.
But he has been unrepentant, saying he was just standing up for his state.
Heading for the Riverland on Friday he levelled further criticism at state opposition MPs who he says have failed to show the same support for the Murray.
"I find it astounding that we have state opposition politicians campaigning against the rights of South Australians and seeking to aid the federal Liberals in dudding SA over the basin plan," he said.
Mr Hunter said South Australia was promised 3200 gigalitres of environmental flows, including the final 450 gigalitres, which scientists believe is the minimum amount needed to keep the river system from dying.

Desktops aren't the only gadgets that can be affected by a virus. Android devices have a malware problem Malware on Android: The 5 Types You Really Need to Know About Malware on Android: The 5 Types You Really Need to Know About Malware can affect mobile as well as desktop devices. But don't be afraid: a bit of knowledge and the right precautions can protect you from threats like ransomware and sextortion scams. Read More and it's growing every day.
If you do get a virus, you could perform a factory reset to get rid of it, but that means you'd lose all your data — those photos you shot, the saved games, the text messages, and everything else. Obviously, you want a factory reset to be your last option.
So what can you do to remove a virus from Android without a factory reset?
Is It Really a Virus?
If your phone isn't functioning the way it should be, there's a chance you have some malware on it. One wrong tap somewhere and a malicious file might have been downloaded on your phone, which is leeching battery life, Internet resources, or your personal data.
But it could be something else.
Suppose your Android refuses to boot or crashes every time it starts up. Or maybe you can't seem to download apps from the Play Store. These are not necessarily caused by a virus. So don't panic! First, check our list of 20 common Android problems 20 Common Android Problems Solved 20 Common Android Problems Solved Having problems with your Android device? We can solve it! Read More and how to fix them.
In fact, there are some tell-tale signs that your Android has a virus Has Your Android Phone Been Infected with Malware? Has Your Android Phone Been Infected with Malware? How does malware get on an Android device? After all, most users only install apps through the Play Store, and Google keeps a tight watch over that to make sure malware doesn't squeeze through, right?... Read More . Ask yourself a few questions:
- Did the problem start happening after you downloaded some app or file?
- Have you recently installed an app from a third-party source Are App Stores Really Safe? How Smartphone Malware Is Filtered Out Are App Stores Really Safe? How Smartphone Malware Is Filtered Out Unless you've rooted or jailbroken, you probably don't have malware on your phone. Smartphone viruses are real, but app stores do a good job of filtering them out. How do they do this? Read More and not the Play Store?
- Did you click on some ad that downloaded a file or app you didn't want?
- Does the problem occur only when you run a particular app?
If the answer to any of the above is yes, then there's a chance you have malware on your system. And importantly, you might be able to fix it without a factory reset!
Install and Run an Antivirus Scan
The first step is to run an antivirus and see if that catches the malware. Android actually has a wide array of antivirus apps now, both free and paid. We've tried to answer what is the best Android antivirus app What Is the Best Antivirus App for Android? What Is the Best Antivirus App for Android? Keep your Android device safe and secure with one of these amazing antivirus apps. Read More , but honestly, there's no one app that is head and shoulders above the rest.
In terms of detection and ease of use, if you want a free app, then Avira is a good bet. It will scan all your files and apps, and recommend removing malicious ones. For a more thorough scan, you'll need a paid app like Kaspersky Internet Security, which has a 30-day trial period and otherwise costs $14.95 per year.
Download: Avira Antivirus Security for Android (Free)
Download: Kaspersky Internet Security for Android (30-day Trial | $14.95 per year)
For other options, check out antivirus tester AVTest's recommendations for the best Android security apps, ranked based on their detection levels as well as ease of use.
Hopefully, the antivirus scan should find and remove the malware on your phone or tablet. But if that doesn't get the job done, then it's on to a manual step.
Manually Delete in Safe Mode
Much like Windows has a "Safe Mode", so does Android. And if your system has been affected by a virus, you'll need to rely on it.
Why? Well, Safe Mode turns off access to all third-party downloaded apps Dealing with System Problems in Android: Safe Mode, Factory Reset & Restoring Backups Dealing with System Problems in Android: Safe Mode, Factory Reset & Restoring Backups If you've run into a problem on your Android phone or tablet, this method just might help you save it. Read More and prevents them from running.
To boot into Safe Mode on most Androids:
- Press and hold the Power button till you get the "Power Off / Reboot" screen.
- Tap and hold "Power Off" till you get a prompt to "Reboot to Safe Mode".
- Tap "OK".
- Wait for the phone or tablet to reboot. In one of the corners, you will see a watermark of "Safe Mode".
This method might not always work since Android manufacturers customize their ROMs. If it doesn't work, head to the XDA Developers Forum or your phone manufacturer's official forum, where a search or a question will likely show you how to boot into safe mode on your device.
Once you have entered Safe Mode, go to Settings > Apps > Downloaded. Go through the list of downloaded apps to try and locate the malicious app on your Android device. It won't always be easy to find, but think back to when the problem on your phone started and check if an app you didn't download is in this list.
Tap the app, and on the next screen tap "Uninstall" to remove it. If that gets rid of it, reboot your phone normally (without entering Safe Mode), and the virus should be taken care of.
If the app can't be removed, it likely has Device Administrator Access. To remove that access…
- Go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators.
- Locate the app and tap the checkmark next to it.
- Tap "Deactivate" when prompted.
Now you can go back to Settings > Apps > Downloaded and uninstall the app as instructed above.
How To Be Sure
Apart from uninstalling the app, just to be on the safe side, you might also want to clean up your Android device while you're at it. Clearing the cache and history, cleaning up the startup processes, and other basic steps can assist in making sure your device is good to go.
Joel has previously checked out a few Android apps that really clean and aren't placebos 5 Apps That Really Clean Up Your Android Device -- And Aren't Placebos! 5 Apps That Really Clean Up Your Android Device -- And Aren't Placebos! Read More , for doing everything from clearing up unused and unwanted files to removing duplicates.
Once your system is cleaned up, make sure you backup your Android Don't Lose Your Data: 5 Top Backup Solutions For Android Don't Lose Your Data: 5 Top Backup Solutions For Android Everybody needs to back up their data in case something happens to their device. Protect yourself with these amazing backup apps. Read More so that in the future, you can perform a factory reset without worrying about data loss.
If Nothing Else Works, Reset
Unfortunately, if none of the above solutions help in clearing up the malware on your device, you don't have any other option but to reset your Android to factory settings. Yes, that means you will lose precious data, but that's better than using a compromised phone or tablet.
Have you had success in getting rid of malware from your Android device without needing to perform a factory reset? What virus or malware have you faced?

Well um there's not really much to say really.
I live outside a crappy little town which rhymes with grief outside of Perth (UK).
I watch quite a bit of anime and read manga too so every time i get bored at work i tend to draw the characters from different shows. I am now going to show the world how bad i am with a pen and a bit of paper but at least it keeps me sane!

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
You Spin Me Right Round
For a statue, the bronze representation of Joseph Henry, first Secretary of the Smithsonian, sure does get around. Located in front of the Smithsonian Institution Building, or Castle, the statue gazes across the National Mall at the vast museum complex he helped create.
In June of 1880, Congress appropriated $15,000 for the erection of a bronze statue of the late Smithsonian Secretary Joseph Henry on the grounds of the Institution. The Board of Regents, the governing body of the Smithsonian, was authorized to contract sculptor William Wetmore Story for the design and sculpture of the Joseph Henry statue.
At the time of its unveiling on April 19, 1883, the statue was located on the National Mall, about 150 feet northwest of the Castle facing the west wing. In 1934, the National Mall was reconfigured and the statue was relocated to the front of the Castle's north central entrance. It's well known, and quite well documented, that Joseph Henry wasn't particularly fond of the Castle, yet Secretary Charles Greeley Abbot approved facing the statue toward the building.
The construction of the Castle was an item of contention for Henry as he questioned the practicality of using up resources that could be devoted to scientific pursuit on the building of a self-indulgent and fanciful structure. He believed it to be a "fantastic and almost useless building," an "immense absorbing reservoir" of the Institution's funds, and a "sad mistake." The Castle included living quarters for Henry and his family, so not only did he work inside its walls, he lived inside them and he died inside them. The decision to face his statue towards the building relegated his likeness to stare indefinitely at a structure he despised.
The 1965 Bicentennial Celebration of James Smithson's birth prompted a dizzying move for the Joseph Henry statue. In May of 1965 Secretary S. Dillon Ripley had the Joseph Henry statue turned around to face Smithsonian museums across the Mall so that he might look upon the legacy of his devotion to the increase and diffusion of knowledge.
Comments () – Leave a comment
I am an admirerer of Joseph Henry and I always enjoy the postings on early Smithsonian history. I do wish some restoration/cleaning would take place for the statue so that he can be shown in his full glory.
Thank you for your comments and concerns regarding the Joseph Henry statue. We have a photo of our colleague performing a conservation treatment in 1984. The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden surely maintains the full record of treatment from that time. Also curious about the preventative maintenance program, we spoke with curator Rick Stamm of the Smithsonian Institution Castle Collection and he replied:
"Until 2004, the Henry statue was an "orphan," not accessioned into any Smithsonian collection. That year we decided to step forward and accession the statue into the Castle Collection. In 2006, a conservation treatment was performed by Conservation Solutions Inc. and a condition report filed with recommendations for future treatment. Budget concerns at the time prevented us from pursuing a regular maintenance contract, however, it is long over-due and something that we will be exploring again soon. At a minimum, I would like to schedule treatment in early autumn when the summer heat has abated, but before it gets too cold.
There are many original flaws in the casting that prevent an aggressive restoration, so the recommended treatment is very conservative involving removal of old wax and re-application of new which does not result in a dramatic aesthetic improvement.
I hope this is of use.
Richard Stamm
Curator, Smithsonian Institution Castle Collection"

1. Goal against Arsenal FA Cup 1998/9
Definitely the most famous goal of the Welshman's career, he caps off a long mazy run through most of Arsenal's defence with a powerful finish into the roof of David Seaman's net.
2. Goal against Tottenham 1992/3
Giggs picked up the ball in the Tottenham half, danced round one tackle before putting the ball through the last defender's legs and rounding the keeper to finish from a tight angle.
3. Goal against QPR 1993/4
The goal that made everyone really stand up and pay attention to the young winger. Giggs dribbled through four defenders like they weren't there before knocking the ball past a helpless keeper.

The ball was headed away from the Coventry goal and Giggs brought it down with one touch before striking an unstoppable volley on the turn which bent into the top left hand corner via the post.
5. Goal against Chelsea 2004/5
A sadly irrelevant goal as United lost the game 2-1, but a superbly executed lob over Cech nonetheless.
6. Goal against Chelsea 1995/6
Another goal against Chelsea. He cut in from the left hand side and turned the defender inside out before stabbing a shot past the keeper.
7. Goal against Bradford City 2000/01
The Welsh Wizard terrorises a Bradford defender before beating the keeper at the near-post with a pin-point finish.
8. Goal against Deportivo 2001/02
He brings the ball in from the left wing, humiliates a defender with some quick footwork before slotting it past the keeper at the near-post.
9. Goal against Juventus 1997/8
The winger flew past two challenges before finishing perfectly in the bottom left hand corner, showing the world that he was by no means exclusively left-footed.
10. Goal against Liverpool 1993/4
Giggs scores a truly special lob over a stranded Bruce Grobbelaar in United's 3-3 draw with Liverpool.

Will also be rolling out to other countries including the UAE.
Facebook Lite, the alternative app that offers less data usage and a faster interface suited for slower networks and devices, now boasts more than 200 million users monthly. The app was designed for emerging markets, where internet connections aren't always the fastest.
"When we rolled out FB Lite for a handful of countries in 2015, people started using it, and we're excited about the growth we've had. We understand that a lot of the features of FB Lite are a good fit for emerging markets, but we've seen interest in other countries as well — specifically when people want a lightweight, simple experience," the company said in a statement.
FB Lite offers users a "…standalone, native app designed for lower end Android devices on spotty network connections to give people a reliable Facebook experience when bandwidth is low. [It aims] to deliver the power of a native app, with features such as News Feed, status updates, push notifications, and camera/photo integration, while still being lightweight."
While initially available for select countries, Facebook has now confirmed that Facebook Lite will soon be rolling out to South Korea, UAE, Italy and hopefully more countries in the coming months.

Full New Users Installation guide
There are currently two major methods to installing Manjaro-Arm. Depending on the device, there may be a an Image available which makes things considerably easier. Not all devices support images or Manjaro-Arm may not have images available for that device. If that is the case, the Tarball method is available. Both methods are rather straightforward and focused on the people that have few experiences with Linux. Follow closely and everything should work fine.
- 1 Image Method
- 2 Tarball Method
- 2.1 Overview
- 2.2 Obtaining the SD Card
- 2.3 Preparing your Environment
- 2.4 Making the Partitions With FDisk
- 2.5 Making the Partitions with GParted
- 2.6 Mounting the Filesystems
- 2.7 Creating Swap File
- 2.8 Downloading and Extracting the Archive
- 2.9 Cleaning up and Booting
Image Method
This is the simplest method. These instructions are created for use on a Linux Machine however should work fine on OSX. If using Windows, please look for some sort of image writer that will work for your system.
Obtaining the SD Card
We recommend an SDcard that is at least 4GB and a class 4 or higher. Manjaro-Arm can be installed with less of course but your experience may not be as intended from the Manjaro-Arm team.
Preparing the SD Card
Dumping an image to the SDCard writes over everything on it (for the size of the image) however, it is always recommended to clean the SD Card before dumping to it to prevent any strange errors. You can use any partition manager you wish to do this or simply zero out the device using DD:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0
Downloading the Release
You can find the official releases, community releases, and all previous releases at http://manjaro-arm.org/downloads/. Be sure to select the correct device and release version. Download the file and save it somewhere you remember. We will refer to it next as /path/to/image.img
Use DD to dump the image to the SDCard
Assuming the SDCard is named mmcblk0 (it can also be sdX or something else, just be sure you dump it to the correct one), and the image is /path/to/image.img (Something like /home/<user>/Downloads/Manjaro-Arm-Minimal-rpi2.img)
You can use the following command to dump the image.
$ sudo dd if=/path/to/image.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
Be sure to change any of these paths to reflect your actual image and hardware.
Booting the device and growing the Filesystem
We package the images to be as small as possible. Inside the image you will find 2 partitions /boot and /. This is sufficient to run the device however, in order to have a swap partition, one will need to be created manually. By default, these partitions are just barely bigger than the data that is stored on them leaving very little room for usage so the first step after booting is to grow those partitions out to fill the remainder of the SDCard.
Remove the SDCard from the computer and insert it into your device. Plug in device and initiate the boot process. Once booted, open a terminal or use SSH to access the device and run the following command.
$ sudo resize-sd
Follow the prompts on the screen. This script will unmount the / partition and resize it to fill the rest of the SDCard, after it finishes it will remake the partition without deleting data to fill the partition. What you will be left with is a 100mb /boot partition and a / partition that fills the remaining space on the card.
Creating a Swap partition / Swap file
Instructions coming soon.
Tarball Method
Installing something without a graphical installer can be difficult or overwhelming. With Manjaro-Arm it is important to know that most of the hard work has been done. The overall process is simple and straight forward. You will essentially extract an archive of files known as a tarball to the MicroSD card for you Single Board Computer, and move some things around.
The way to install Manjaro is to copy an archive to a device, called a SD Card, and then modify its contents, but before you do that, you need to prepare your environment and your SD Card
- Make the partitions
- Make the filesystems
- Mount the filesystems
Then you can extract the archive, and finally clean up and boot.
Obtaining the SD Card
Your MicroSD Card should be at least 4GB and a class 4 or better. Ideally, a class 10 / class U1 / class U3 card of a size 8GB or greater will be used.
Preparing your Environment
Create root and boot directories in your $HOME on your Linux machine
$ cd ~ $ mkdir root $ mkdir boot
These are going to be the directories you will later use for mounting.
Making the Partitions With FDisk
Finding the Device
The first step is to find the device.
Insert your MicroSD card into an adapter on your Linux computer. Execute lsblk to see if the device is registered. The output should look something like this:
$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT fd0 2:0 1 4K 0 disk sda 8:0 0 30G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 25.7G 0 part / └─sda2 8:2 0 4.3G 0 part [SWAP] sr0 11:0 1 1.8G 0 rom mmcblk1 179:0 1 16G 0 disk
Typically the device will show up as /dev/mmcblkXX. If for some reason, it shows up as /dev/sdX, it is fine and everything will work as expected.
The device number is above is 1 Note the device number (mmcblk1); you will need it later.
Using FDisk to Make Partitions
Once you have found the device, it is time to set up the card for the two required partitions:
- /boot
- / (root).
These commands will need to be done as root (not using sudo):
$ sudo su # fdisk /dev/mmcblkX (replace X with the device number, not the partition number)
type 'o' to clear the partition table type 'p' to ensure there is no partition listed type 'n' to create a new partition type 'p' to select primary partition type '1' to make it partition one press enter to set the default first sector type '+64M' to make the partition 64 MBytes type 't' and then 'c' to change the partition type to W95 FAT32 type 'n' then 'p' to create a new primary partition press enter to select the default partition 2 press enter twice to select the default start and end sectors (it will take up the space left on the device) type 'w' to write the partition table and exit
Making the Filesystems
Now that the partitions are made on your device, you need to create filesystems in them to hold your data. These commands will need to be done as root (not using sudo):
# mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblkXp1 (replace the X with device number, the p1 stands for partition 1 [the 64MB partition we made for /boot]) # mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblkXp2 (replace the X with device number, the p2 stands for partition 2 [the / or root partition we will be using])
If the last command gives you any kind of message saying that the partition already has a filesystem on it, go ahead and overwrite it.
Making the Partitions with GParted
Finding the Device
The first step is to find the device.
Insert your MicroSD card into an adapter on your Linux computer. Execute lsblk to see if the device is registered. The output should look something like this:
$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT fd0 2:0 1 4K 0 disk sda 8:0 0 30G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 25.7G 0 part / └─sda2 8:2 0 4.3G 0 part [SWAP] sr0 11:0 1 1.8G 0 rom mmcblk1 179:0 1 16G 0 disk
Typically the device will show up as /dev/mmcblkXX. If for some reason, it shows up as /dev/sdX, it is fine and everything will work as expected.
The device number is above is 1 Note the device number (mmcblk1); you will need it later.
Creating Partitions and Filesystems in Gparted
Open GParted, and select your SD card using the selector in the top right-hand corner. MAKE SURE THIS IS YOUR SDCARD!!
1. Select "Device" from the window buttons at the top of the screen (you know, the ones that say Edit, View, Device....) 2. Select "Create Partition Table" from the dropdown menu. 3. Confirm that you would like to use a MS-DOS partition table. 4. Confirm that you would like to format your SD card. 5. Once GParted has finished creating the table, it will show one "Unallocated" partition below. 6. Select the unallocated partition, right click, and select "New". 7. In the box that says "New size (MiB):" replace what is there with the number 64. 8. Now click on the box right below the previous box. The box you just clicked on should change size to be a lot bigger. 9. From the "Filesystem" dropdown menu, select ext4 if it is not already selected. 10. Click "Add". 11. Repeat steps 6-10, but skip steps 7-8. 12. Click the green "Apply" button, and wait for GParted to finish.
Mounting the Filesystems
You are almost finished. Now that you have made the filesystems, you need to mount them to the boot and root directories you made before you can copy the data over.
You will need to continue to run as root (not using sudo):
# mount /dev/mmcblkXp1 boot (change the X to the device number for your card) # mount /dev/mmcblkXp2 root
Creating Swap File
As root use fallocate to create a swap file the size of your choosing (M = Megabytes, G = Gigabytes). For example, creating a 512 MB swap file:
# fallocate -l 512M root/swapfile
Set the right permissions (a world-readable swap file is a huge local vulnerability)
# chmod 600 root/swapfile
After creating the correctly sized file, format it to swap:
# mkswap root/swapfile
Edit /etc/fstab to add an entry for the swap file:
/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0
Once the system has booted, enable the swap file:
# swapon /swapfile
Downloading and Extracting the Archive
Download the release archive for your device here.
Use the BSD tar command to extract the tarball to the root/ (mmcblkXp2):
# bsdtar -xpf ManjaroArm.tar.gz -C root/
Cleaning up and Booting
After the Tarball is extracted, you need to move the boot files over to the boot partition
# mv root/boot/* boot/
You can go ahead and unmount the sdcard and remove it.
# umount boot/ root/ # exit <to return to standard user>
Once the MicroSD is inserted into your Single Board Computer, apply the power and let it boot. After a short time, your device should be booted.
If you are using it headless (no display, mouse, or keyboard) the ssh server is already started on boot you can access your device by ssh
$ ssh manjaro@<ip> password is manjaro
or as root
$ ssh root@<ip> password is root
