qtconsole in emacs

Visitors to Maine pass a sign on the highway as they cross the state border. "Welcome to Maine," it reads, "The Way Life Should Be." That message will take on a whole new meaning after state voters passed Question 1 to legalize cannabis for adults 21 and over.
The measure's passage, now projected by AP and the Portland Press Herald, is a monumental first step to bringing legal, regulated cannabis markets to the East Coast. But be patient—the change won't happen overnight.
The provisions of Question 1 take effect 30 days after the governor proclaims the election results, which may not happen for some time—as of Thursday afternoon, the measure was leading by only a fraction of a percentage point, and opponents have already vowed to push for a recount.
Assuming the measure does eventually pass, though, cannabis prohibition in the state will officially end one month later. Adults 21 and over will be able to possess, consume, and grow cannabis. Here's a quick summary of what will become legal:
- Possession of up to 2.5 ounces (about 70 grams) of cannabis, which includes all parts of the cannabis plant as well as extracts and derivatives
- Growing up to six flowering cannabis plants, 12 immature plants, and unlimited seedlings (each must carry a tag with the person's name and Maine driver's license or ID card number)
- Giving cannabis or cannabis plants away to adults 21 and over
- Consuming cannabis in a nonpublic place, such as a private residence
It will take a while longer for the state's retail cannabis markets to be up and running. Before issuing licenses to operators, regulators at the state Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Conservation first have to establish rules to evaluate applicants' experience and criminal backgrounds. After those rules are final, officials at the department have 30 days to begin accepting and processing applications. Issuance of the licenses should occur during the following few months.
In other words, don't expect retail shops to open until the middle of 2017—at the earliest. And even then, don't hold your breath. Getting state cannabis programs off the ground can take a lot longer than expected. Just look at the series of obstacles that delayed Alaska's adult-use market or Maryland's implementation of its medical marijuana law.
Those delays can be even greater without buy-in from officials, and some of Maine's higher-ups remain staunchly opposed to legalization. Consider this October message from Gov. Paul LePage—whom the Washington Post editorial board called "completely unhinged"—saying that THC levels in modern cannabis "could kill children and pets." It's a bold claim about a substance that hasn't caused a single overdose death in recorded history.
State Attorney General Janet Mills, usually a LePage foe, joined the governor in opposing the measure, saying Question 1 would legalize possession and consumption by children—despite the fact it says 26 times in the law's text that cannabis is legal "for adults 21 and over." Continued pushback from officials at the state level could stymie a smooth rollout.
Officials at the local level, too, could curb the rise of legal markets. Under Question 1, municipalities have the authority to ban retail cannabis businesses entirely. Adults would still be able to grow plants at home, but retail cultivation, processing, and sales would be forbidden.
Where businesses are permitted, however, consumers will have the option of consuming on the premises of licensed social clubs—essentially Amsterdam-style coffeeshops. They could be cozy places to ride out the next big storm to roll through.
Legalization in Maine has been a long time coming. The state first approved the use of medical marijuana in 1999, but its road to adult-use legalization has been as bitter and bumpy as a midwinter commute. Several past efforts to legalize were shot down before the issue could reach the ballot, and even Question 1 was nearly thrown out over a signature snafu.
Legalization has arrived in Maine, but the job is far from over. As the state Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry considers how best to craft rules, there will be opportunities for public comment. Local governments will also weigh how to regulate businesses. Get involved! Prohibition has ended. Now it's time to talk about what legalization looks like.

Reports have emerged this week that Chechnya has ramped up its anti-gay pogram and that 100 gay men were detained and three killed in these camps last week.
Novoya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper known for its critical and investigative coverage of Russian politics and social affairs, said that several new camps have been set up in Chechnya where gay men have been forced to promise to leave the republic.
The most recent report in Novoya Gazeta said that those arrested include well-known local television personalities and religious figures.
Svetlana Zakharova, from the Russian LGBT Network:
"Gay people have been detained and rounded up and we are working to evacuate people from the camps and some have now left the region."
"Those who have escaped said they are detained in the same room and people are kept altogether, around 30 or 40. They are tortured with electric currents and heavily beaten, sometimes to death."
A prisoner who escaped told Novoya Gazeta that prisoners were beaten to force them to reveal other members of the gay community. Another said that before being incarcerated in one of the camps he survived by bribing Chechen police thousands of rubles every month in order to survive.
Ekaterina Sokirianskaia, Russia project director for the International Crisis Group, says: "The story is very much developing…victims are escaping. It is difficult to overstate just how vulnerable LGBT people are in Chechnya, where homophobia is intense and rampant. LGBT people are in danger not only of persecution by the authorities but also of falling victim to "honour killings" by their own relatives for tarnishing family honour,"
Last year Russian singer Zelimkhan Bakaev was arrested, tortured, and murdered by by Chechen authorities due to suspicion of homosexuality."
His body has still not been found.

Poshmark Says *These* Are the Brands That Will Make You the Most Dough in 2018
As much as we're coveting all those of-the-moment plaid printed-dresses and sequined boots our fave designers are selling, committing to a "less is more" mindset means you're going to have to part ways with a few fashion buys from seasons past. With apps like Poshmark on hand to make the purge a little bit easier, getting rid of your previously loved garments and accessories is a pain-free part of the process. Luckily, we now know a thing or two about what brands to buy and which to avoid for future resale success.
The company has released a report on the most-listed brands and items across the US based on an analysis of its three million (and counting!) sellers. Across the country, it seems that shoppers are collectively flipping Free People, Lily Pulitzer, Anthropologie, Lululemon, Lularoe, Miss Me, J Brand, Michael Kors, Zara, Victoria's Secret, Kate Spade, Levi's, J. Crew, Joe's Jeans, Gucci, and Coach for the ladies, with Adidas, Nike, Levi's, North Face, Patagonia, Supreme, Brooks Brothers, Patagonia, Lucky Brand, Converse, Rock Revival, True Religion, and Jordan reigning supreme for the men.
But what will get you the most cash?
According to the site, the most in-demand women's brands are currently Everlane, Hunter, David Yurman, Rag & Bone, and Ray-Ban. As for the dudes, you can count on Herschel Supply Co., Supreme, Barbour, Nixon, and Patagonia to fetch a pretty penny.
A-ha! Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll just be stocking up on *all* of Everlane's cozy new athleisure line.
Do you use Poshmark? What's the best deal you've found? Tell us @BritandCo!

David Livingston to Attempt 18 Hour Joggling Marathon
Fellow joggler David Livingston reports that he is attempting to do an 18-hour run while juggling in the Wooster Relay for Life on June 6-7, 2008. You can see his video right here.
According to Livingston,
I have set my goal to joggle nearly the entire 18 hours of the event. I will take short breaks when necessary, but will only cover distance on the track while juggling. I expect to be able to do at least 200 laps (50 miles) and could do considerably more. But I won't exceed 400 laps (100 miles, which is what I did running only two years ago in 17 hours, 40 minutes).
We here at JYAJ wish him luck. I've already donated and if you are interested, please see David's charity donation page here.
[…] first talked about David Livingston and his upcoming joggling feat a couple of weeks ago. Well, it seems he's become a bit of a celebrity around his home town […]
[…] We first mentioned David Livingston last month when he reported that he was attempting to joggle for 18 hours. […]

Web browser Opera now allows making payments with Bitcoin (BTC) directly inside the browser.
The company announced the news in a press release shared with Cointelegraph on Oct. 21, detailing that Opera's 350 million users can now send and receive BTC directly from the browser, as well as use the cryptocurrency for purchasing goods and services on e-commerce websites.
Additionally, the browser now enables adding a Bitcoin and TRON (TRX) card into the built-in Crypto Wallet to keep track of the cryptocurrency owned. Charles Hamel, head of crypto at Opera, commented on the new feature launch:
"We believe that opening our browser to more blockchains, including Bitcoin, is the logical next step to making our solution more relevant to anyone who has a Bitcoin crypto wallet and would like to do things with their cryptocurrencies beyond just keeping them in an account."
The features were previously released in the Beta version of the browser this summer, while the first cryptocurrency available for purchase through the browser was Ether (ETH) in February.
Opera's Web 3-focused developments
In recent months, Opera has actively presented new developments related to Web 3, the term referring to a new evolution of the web, with the creation of high-quality content and involvement of blockchain, decentralized computing and digital currencies.
The company released the iOS version of its mobile web browser, Opera Touch, that supports Ethereum protocol and Ethereum Web3 apps, and a Web 3 explorer, which enables users to conduct transactions and interact with Web 3.
Although Opera's market share among other browsers accounts for only 3% as of September 2019, its latest development is another step forward to "an experimental integration of Web 3" and further adoption of cryptocurrencies.
As Hamel previously claimed, the company aims to remove the friction involved in "using cryptocurrencies online and accessing Web 3 via special apps or extensions," in a bid to make the emerging technologies more mainstream.
In the meantime, cryptocurrency-powered browser Brave claimed high user engagement, with daily active users standing at over 2.8 million, and the number of creators subscribed to its web advertisement network also reportedly increased substantially.

In this post, I put Win 7 and Linux Mint in a head-to-head by installing in a dual boot set up.
Target machine
Make: Asus
Model: X70IO
OS: Vista home premium (French) AZERTY keyboard layout
Processor: Intel Duo T6600 2.2 GHz 32 bit
RAM: 4 Gb (3.5 usable according to Windows 7)
Upgrade Windows Version: Windows 7 Ultimate
Upgrade Linux Version: Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon
This is a notebook or laptop that's been used for the last five or six years by some friends of ours. In that time, it's been used occasionally for Skyping, emails, light internet browsing, some spreadsheet and word processing. Other than that, they just had some photos stored on it.
That's it.
Recently, the wi-fi broke down and because it was running Vista, it was decided that they would replace this machine with a new one, rather than replace the comms card to restore wif-fi then pay for and install Windows 7 or 10.
I was asked to assist in choosing a new machine and instead of accepting payment, since we had always wanted a laptop, I asked for the Asus as payment.
In true Gallic style, they thought I was completely mad, asking if I was sure, since they had planned to take the Asus to the dechetterie.
I assured them I was, as there was method in my madness…
The plan
The plan was simple to begin with. I would buy and install Windows 7 (English), either replace the keyboard or at least, doctor the keys so that we knew what was where. I had a cheap wi-fi dongle, which I hoped would work and presto, instant English laptop!
Sadly, only some of our enthusiasm was well-placed. The battery was dead, which meant that it wasn't quite as portable as we had hoped and the DVD drive was also buggered.
Well, ever the optimist, I discovered that it would be about 5€ (plus p+p) to replace the DVD drive and surprisingly, only 12€ to replace the battery. Not too bad for what we've got.
However, after finding out that my old Presario was actually capable of running Mint, I changed tack slightly and decided to go for the dual boot with 7 and Mint.
Installing Windows 7
In a previous post, I described how loading Windows 10 for a client took all afternoon.
This was no quicker.
The moment you commit a distro to DVD, it becomes out of date. There will inevitably be those annoying updates, but it's how Microsoft goes about it that gets me. They're time-consuming and probably represent a larger size than the original installation. Surely, there must be a simpler, quicker method of installing updates.
Anyway, I lost yet another afternoon getting Windows 7 from disc to finished, through several hundred downloads and multiple restarts. Remember Microsoft, it's only because I like Windows 7 that I sacrificed time I'll never get back doing this. If I hadn't been able to get that Windows 7 disc, I would have simply opted for Linux and dropped Windows like a hot potato, regardless of the software and financial losses incurred.
Installing Mint
As I discovered in loading Mint on the old Presario, Linux takes very little time to set up, but all machines are clearly not the same.
Windows was installed from within Vista, by copying the installation files to USB and running the setup.exe application from Windows Explorer. It then just did what it needed to do.
In the Mint installation however, could not be done in that fashion.
I just wasn't able to get the installation distro to boot from the USB flash drive. It appeared that on the boot menu, the USB was not in fact what the system was looking at, despite how it was labelled. In fact, when going into the boot menu on this machine, whilst it separates disc drives and optical drives from USB drives, the distro on USB was viewed by the system as a hard drive.
Once the USB drive was plugged in, it came up in the hard drive list, not an external USB device. You can see how that is confusing. It's certainly not logical in my opinion and not something that a novice trying to replace Windows with Linux would easily be able to see.
Anyway, now I know…
Once I got the Asus to boot from the USB, installation took just fifteen minutes – or thereabouts.
Of course, there have been the subsequent updates, but they are fewer and less intrusive than MS updates to download. MS may well be the industry standard, but that being the case, it doesn't say much for industry's standards nowadays.
Booting Mint V booting Windows
This had to be postponed for a few minutes as there were in excess of 16,000 updates from MS.
I rest my case.
To get to the OS menu takes between 10 and 50 seconds. Why this differs so greatly is a mystery. I suppose it has to be viewed as a necessary overhead when having dual boot.
The Mint installation does not require a password, so I have set up Windows to begin the same way.
Windows 7 (clean) takes 1′ 47″ to get from the OS menu to presenting a desktop. It then takes a further 1′ 5″ before it's ready to go (I have installed Anti-virus, which is AVG's free version).
My Windows only machine is granted password protected, takes far longer, but then it has numerous other programs that run on it, which may explain why. However, confusion arises when without updates it can take a different length of time each time to start up and be ready.
The Mint boot took 1′ 50″ to go from machine off to machine ready to use, 55″ of which was the length of time it took to get to the boot menu.
So far, in this head-to-head of Win 7 and Linux Mint, Mint has outstripped Windows 7, starting in almost half the time.
Win 7 and Linux Mint
I know Windows 7 like the back of my hand – not!
There are things that happen or not as it appears it feels like it. Things like the network.
I have a hub for connecting to the internet and Win 7 can see that. I also have an RPi for streaming. It has a Seagate 360Gb drive hanging off it, which I had been using to save some of my writing and videos to in lieu of not having a server. Windows however, chooses not to see it. Sometimes it's there and sometimes not. Interestingly, despite it not showing up in Windows explorer, Word will still finds and open files from it.
Go figure. I think software engineers term that a feature.
Initially, I thought about using the Presario I originally tested Mint on, as a file server for my music and videos. It would also have served as a backup for our important stuff. I could then have connected the Seagate to it and not the RPi. Thanks to the issues I have had with Win 7 and the network, I'm not not sure that's going to be possible.
What has further tainted my opinion of having multiple OS machines on my network is that from the Asus in Win 7, I can connect and share stuff from the main Win 7 computer, but from the Asus in Mint, I can't. I have installed Samba, which can see the Windows network, but can't connect to it.
Were I to create the server using Linux as the server OS, would this not end up being the same?
Aside from the communications issues I have, Win 7 has not seen the mouse pad and buttons on the Asus, and flatly refuses to turn it off, allowing me to use the USB mouse I have. This means if I use the laptops's keyboard, the mouse pad has a habit of making the cursor appear in random places, which makes typing a nightmare. Wholly off-putting when trying to write stuff. I've now had to plug in an external keyboard.
Conversely, Mint has correctly identified the mouse pad, allowed me to turn it off and use the USB mouse instead.
I'm sure I will find more things as time goes on…
Win 7 and Linux Mint are not the same
The look and feel and operation of both is similar, but then, they're both graphical user interfaces, so there are bound to be similarities. There are some differences between the two, but I think that's just Linux not wanting to be a Windows emulator.
Linux Mint will run on a multitude of hardware configurations; the same hardware that Windows runs or ran on, but don't expect it to be "the same as Windows".
Obviously, Linux Mint is different. It may look similar and work in a similar way to Windows, but the whole system is different and in the background Mint is doing things in a different way to Windows. So while my Linux laptop does not need a password for entry, there is a necessity to have a "root password" as some things cannot be done without it. Updates cannot be installed without the password, nor can can programs. In Windows on the other hand, if you have an administrator's account, anything can happen.
There are some things in Mint that are quite different to the Windows environment, but on the whole, it's similar enough to make it easy for a novice to go from Windows to Linux without too much trouble.
The trouble begins when someone who is used to Windows-based programs, tries to do the same things under Linux…
Coming up in the next episode
Linux Mint V Windows 10…

It's one of the most iconic pictures in American history. On August 14, 1945, World War II ended. In New York City's famous Times Square, people gathered to celebrate. At the moment the war ended, a young nurse named Edith Shain was grabbed and kissed by a sailor in full uniform. The resulting picture, called Times Square Kiss, was front-page in Life Magazine and has become an American institution. The only person whose identity is known in the picture was Ms. Shain, who passed away at age 92 in Los Angeles yesterday.
The search has continued for the male soldier in the picture, whose identity has remained a mystery since the photo was taken. Ms. Shain, the kissee, didn't even know the guy who was smooching her, he just grabbed a random nurse to commemorate the end of the war. His identity might never be known. The people of the world's greatest generation are passing away, one by one, and a living link to history is dying in the process.

EL PASO, Texas — Surveillance video does not back up the story told by a man who was honored this week at the White House by President Donald Trump for his actions during the Aug. 3 mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart, police said.
Christopher Grant has said he threw bottles to try to stop the attack, which left 22 people dead . Grant, who was shot twice, was among those recognized this week Trump, although his mother received the certificate because Grant had been temporarily detained by the U.S. Secret Service because of an outstanding warrant.
A grand jury indicted the suspected Walmart shooter, Patrick Crusius, for capital murder on Thursday.
At the ceremony, Trump said Grant was picking up snacks for his children when he encountered Crusius. Trump said: "Chris grabbed — listen to this — soda bottles and anything else in front of him, and began hurling them at the gunman, distracting him from the other shoppers and causing the shooter to turn toward Chris and fire at Chris, whereby Chris suffered two serious gunshot wounds."
But El Paso Police Sgt. Enrique Carrillo said video did not match Grant's account.
"His actions were captured by surveillance cameras and they are not as described by Mr. Grant," Carrillo said. "We are not demeaning his reaction, which are of basic human instincts, but they amount to an act of self-preservation and nothing above that."
Grant did not return a message seeking comment Thursday.

Lies You've Been Told About The Great Art of Wood Carving
Softer woods could be simpler to carve but are more vulnerable to damage. It is projected that wood carving has been in existence for thousands of years. There are 4 varieties of wood carving you can learn. Additionally, it is an excellent means to become accustomed to the different forms of wood and their characteristics. A wood that's suited to carving must be hard, even grained and free from knots. Wood carving is the same. Dremel wood carving is a superb method to create engraved wood art.
Walnut will probably run a bit higher and may go as large as $10 a board foot based on where you are and the grade of the wood. Oak is much tougher but it's a fine wood for carving and you are not going to will need to select the care to stop splintering as with pine. The kind of wood is crucial. He carving and its varieties are some of the oldest forms of woodworking. Wood carving is an art that needs an enormous amount of smoothness and finesse. For relief carving, there's nobody wood that's superior to the rest.
How to Choose The Great Art of Wood Carving
Just starting out with a carving knife and receiving a sense of how it works with the wood is the most significant thing you are able to learn on your first few projects. It was really as simple as it sounds! This piece is just one of the first in a very long tradition of carved wood art. With practice, however, you're going to be well on your way to design incredible pieces that you'll be proud to show off! Knowing if a particular parcel of wood will be soft enough to achieve the results you want as a beginner is critical to not becoming frustrated.
The very first of many decisions to make is the sort of relief carving one wants to create. There are a few different options when deciding upon a knife. Don't pick an advanced design to create if you have just made a couple of sculptures as you'll likely become frustrated.
While the aspects discussed above are useful in providing you a baseline understanding of what things to look for while buying wood carving tools, finding the most suitable set isn't exactly a straightforward approach. Now you have a fundamental comprehension of what relief carving looks like, let's get familiar with the tools used to make such amazing woodwork. Probably among the most simple things to do, even though some practice must acquire good at making them.
