Here is a number that will surprise lots of people in the media industry: Disney says it has a million paying subscribers for its ESPN+ streaming service, which it launched five months ago.
Reminder: This isn't "real" ESPN, but a service that lets you see a mixed bag of sports the programmer doesn't run on its primary networks, like Italian soccer, small college sports and a smattering of pro baseball games.
If you were skeptical ESPN would find many takers for that at $5 a month, join the club. Disney isn't providing any detail about what has driven pickup for the service, with one caveat: It notes that it converted subscribers to ESPN's existing "Insider" service — which gave hardcore sports fans access to bonus ESPN articles and the like — to ESPN+ subs at the end of August.
But Disney says those converted subs are a "significant minority" of the one million number it's announcing this morning. Full text, via their comms group: "The vast majority of the 1 million are new subscribers, who've signed up for ESPN+ since its launch in April. Adding ESPN Insider to ESPN+ did add some subscribers, but they account for a significant minority of the total."
The number is worth noting for a couple reasons:
- Everyone in media is trying to launch their own direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service, so this is a data point that suggests there's room for more players.
- This should give Disney (and, not coincidentally, Disney investors) some confidence in the prospects for the yet-to-be-named Disney movie streaming service it plans to launch next year, which has much bigger ambitions and stakes.

A Southern Activist Warns Black Chicagoans about the Daley Machine
The Democratic Party political machine notoriously ruled Chicago, distributing jobs and city services in exchange for political support. James Bevel, the director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's direct action campaigns, was a veteran strategist of sit-ins, Freedom Rides, the Birmingham Children's Crusade, the Mississippi Freedom Movement, and the Selma-to-Montgomery March. He and other SCLC leaders came to Chicago to test the effectiveness of direct-action non-violent tactics outside the South. He encouraged Chicago's black community to resist the short-term and limited payoff of allying with Mayor Richard Daley's machine.

Torbay Council says it was not consulted in advance about plans for a go-kart track on its car park at Broadsands Beach in Paignton which have triggered hundreds of objections.
The council said it had been unaware of a change of use planning application being prepared for the land.
And the council's leader Steve Darling has told residents his personal view is that it should be turned down.
A statement from the council said that anyone could submit an application without the landowner's permission. But the council would need to give consent for the track to go ahead on its land.
By Thursday lunchtime, the change of use request had received more than 400 objections.
The applicant says the site is the "perfect location" for a track and he wants to use up to 12 petrol-power karts between 10am and 8pm seven days a week, between Easter and September.
Many objectors complain about the risk of noise disturbing the residents in the peaceful valley behind the beach in a sheltered bay between Paignton and Brixham.
They also raise concerns about pollution from exhaust fumes and the impact on the environment and wildlife.
The application is for a surfaced area alongside the main car park on council land. It includes proposals for two storage containers for equipment and an entry kiosk.
Council leader Steve Darling has told residents who asked about the scheme: "I personally have serious concerns and feel that this speculative planning application is highly inappropriate and should be rejected out of hand."
The council's statement said: "When someone is looking to use Torbay Council land for a project, business or activity, we welcome an open conversation with us as landowner.
"As expected, some council land has certain restrictions on it and we would also go through a process to ensure that what was proposed was right for the area.
"This includes considering the impact the proposal has on the local area, its residents and wider community.
"In the case of the planning application that has been submitted for the setting up of a go-kart business using some of the car park space at Broadsands, we as landowner have only just been made aware of this.
"It is important to note that anyone can put in a planning application without asking for our permission.
"All applications will be considered and determined on their planning merit, for example things like the impact of noise, disturbance, extra traffic it brings to the area will be considered and presented when the planning application is heard at the planning committee and as landowner, we would also put forward our thoughts on the application.
"As with all planning applications, you, our residents will have the opportunity to comment too. For the proposal to go ahead the consent of the council as landowner would be required."
Details of the planning application were published on the council's planning website on April 7.
The applicant Darren Sunderland, of Dartington, submitted a plan of what the track could look like, constructed of tyres reinforced and bonded together.
Mr Sunderland proposed two shipping containers to store equipment, a small ticket office and a 'silent generator' for power.
Explaining his plans in a letter, he said everything would be temporary and easily removed from the site if necessary.
Mr Sunderland said he had been the manager of a go-kart track at Churston, and ran a seasonal track at Penzance for many years.
He said the Broadsands site was surrounded by trees which would act as a sound barrier and keep noise to a minimum.
He suggested the addition of flagpoles and bunting to make the track look appealing.
Mr Sunderland wrote: "I feel Torbay needs a go-kart track for locals and holiday makers to enjoy and the Broadsands site is the perfect location, I am sure with my hard work and determination we can turn this into a fantastic facility."
By 1pm on Thursday, 468 objections had been submitted on the council's planning website, with five comments in support.
Objector Caroline Snow, of Stoke St Gabriel, wrote in her objection that the noise would "resonate across the Broadsands valley spoiling enjoyment of the area by visitors, holiday makers, residents and affecting wildlife."
Audrey Moulton, of Paignton, said the noise and fumes would be "horrendous" for residents and visitors.
She wrote: "This is a quiet family beach, please keep it so."
Objectors said the sites of previous tracks at Goodrington and Churston were alternatives which could be reinstated.
A decision will be made by council officers or the council's planning committee after public consultation ends on Wednesday, May 12.

Southern Adventist University alumnus Seth Hill started a new company called Kinetik Sourcing to produce Personal Protective Equipment in response to the coronavirus pandemic.Since the company began, Hill has sold 50,000 units of PPE – both to hospitals and other consumers in need.
Hill started at Southern with a construction management degree, but after going on a mission trip he decided that he wanted to pursue business. He started his entrepreneurial journey with Swayy – an insulated hammock and camping gear company.
"I knew that I wanted to do something different with my life," Hill said, "I realized that I really liked creating new things, creating brands and designing things people would flock to."
With his establishment of Swayy, Hill decided to create Kinetik Relations – a consulting company in Asia. But with the escalation of COVID-19 in Wuhan, Hill's colleagues in Asia asked if his company could start providing masks to the area.
"We shipped them protective equipment," said Hill. "I reached out to a couple of my friends who worked in health care just to gage the need [for masks] … it was a barrage of emails of people inquiring about getting PPE."
The increasing demand for protective equipment has made Kinetik Relations – now renamed Kinetik Sourcing– more successful than Swayy.
"We've made more revenue in two weeks [with Kinetic Sourcing] than Swayy has made in its entire life," Hill said.
Kinetik Sourcing now serves various businesses and hospitals including Dominion Senior Living Center, Morning Pointe Senior Living and several clinics across the U.S.
Hill has also been providing masks to the common public on the direct consumer info and order page on Swayy's website. Hill claims to lower the price by grouping individual orders into one, larger order. He said this provides a "competitive price" so consumers can buy what they need without paying too much for an excessive amount of masks.
According to Hill, Kinetik Sourcing produces KN95 masks which are currently approved by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as an alternative protectant to the N95 mask. Both are said to decrease the spread of contamination through respiratory droplets.
While Hill has been successful in providing masks to consumers, he still encounters challenges. There is a lot of stress involved with meeting such a large demand for face masks, managing shipping problems, as well as staying up-to-date on CDC regulations.
Even so, Hill loves being a part of his business as he enjoys, "working together to see a project come full circle."
Ultimately, Hill said that he wants Kinetik Sourcing to enable people to be "together more" as he believes that together we are stronger, and together we can overcome this situation.
"We're still offering security and comfort to a lot of people by being able to provide this type of gear," Hill said. "[We give them] confidence to be able to walk forward, to go onto the front lines or wherever they are."
Hill encourages other businesses to help in this crisis.
"Do what you can. If there's an opportunity for you to be able to supply people with what they need – do it… There are a million different things you can do," Hill said. "I would say don't be afraid to act…. I believe if you have good intentions and are making smart decisions… and if you have God on your side then there's nothing you can't do."

Tekamah, the county seat, is located in the southeastern part of the county, partly on the bottom lands of the Missouri, and partly on the contiguous bluffs. The name was given to it by W. N. Byers, one of the early transient settlers, the privilege of naming it having fallen to him by lot. He gave it the name Tekamah in commemoration of some place in the Far West, which he had visited, or in which he had resided. The first claim made on the present site of
Tekamah was by B. R. Folsom, W. N. Byers, J. W. Patterson, H. C. Purple, John Young, Jerry Folsom, Mr. Maynard, William T. Raymond and Mr. White, in the name of the Nebraska Stock Company, on October 7, 1854. This party of pioneers left Council Bluffs, Iowa on October 2, and, after passing through Omaha, the site of the deserted Mormon city of "Winter Quarters", now Florence, reached the site of the present city of Fontanelle, on October 5. There they found Dr. H.
M. Clark and two other men, who had one hour before arrived there, in behalf of the Quincy Company, had staked out their claim, and were preparing to erect "the first tenement west of the Missouri," according to Mr. B. R. Folsom. They, on October 7, reached the present site of Tekamah and staked out their claim, "four miles square." Then they returned to Council Bluffs, reaching there on October 9.
The first permanent settlement in Tekamah was made on April 19, 1855, by B. R. Folsom, Z. B. Wilder, John B. Folsom, Niles R. Folsom, William F. Goodwill (who remained permanently), and a few others (among them W. N. Byers, who named the town), who only remained a short time.
A few weeks subsequently, F. E. Lange, W. B. Beck and Deidrick Fees and wife joined the first settlers. Mrs. Fees was the first white woman to come into the county. On the 18th of July, following, a little colony from La Salle County, Ill., which had settled upon claims just north of Silver Creek, moved to Tekamah, doing this for safety upon hearing of the killing and scalping of the two white men, Porter and Demaree, near Fontanelle. Fear of the Indians was very great in those days, and greatly retarded the development of the country. This colony consisted of G. M. Peterson, T. Thompson, John Oak and George Erickson, and their families--twenty-four in all.
Tekamah was incorporated as a city very early in its history, on March 14, 1855, and became the county seat at the same time. Olney Harrington was made Postmaster in 1855. Miles Chillcot opened the first store in 1856. Michael Olinger arrived in the fall and built a blacksmith shop. The first child born was in the fall of 1855, to Mrs. Thomas Thompson, who died in childbirth. Hers was the first death, and the child lived but a few days. The first marriage was that of Lewis P. Peterson to Miss Elsa Thompson, in the fall of 1855. The first school was taught by J. R. Conkling in 1857. The first sermon was preached on Sunday, November 5, 1854, by a Methodist minister. Rev. William Bates preached in July 1855, also a Methodist; and the Rev. Jacob Adriance, of the De Soto Circuit, was the first regular preacher. In August 1856, a Methodist Episcopal Church was organized by Rev. L. F. Stringfield. The first physician was J. R. Conkling, of Chicago, who located here in 1857, and was a brother of the present editor of the Burt County News, A. T. Conkling. The first lawyer was J. H. Smith, who came in 1862. The first newspaper was the Burt County Pilot, established in 1871, by J. Y. Lambert, and which was moved to Blair in 1874. The next was the Burtonian, established in 1872, and edited by G. P. Hull, who is still its editor. G. P. Thomas and wife reached here in 1856.
Tekamah has one graded school, with four teachers, and one ward school. The principal school building is a fine two-story frame, costing $5,000, and located in a pleasant park of nearly two acres.
There are now in Tekamah five church organizations, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran and Episcopalian--all but the last having church edifices.
Tekamah is on the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad, which affords fine shipping facilities. In 1880, the United States census gave it a population of 776. It is now estimated at 1000. The town contains various business establishments, and some of its enterprising businessmen have recently erected fine brick blocks. It has good hotel accommodations, the last hotel being a fine two-story brick, erected in 1880.
There are in Tekamah five general stores, two hardware, three drug and three millinery stores, two agricultural implement depots, two elevators, four blacksmith shops and two lumberyards, four physicians and five lawyers. Under the operation of the local option law, Tekamah has now no licensed saloons, and contains an orderly, enterprising and intelligent population.

Artillery needed to be transportable. This required that it be able to endure up and can be installed in difficult terrain.
In this video U.S. Marines with Alpha Battery, Battalion Landing Team, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, fire an M777 Howitzer during exercise KAMANDAG 3 at Colonel Ernesto P. Ravina Air Base, Philippines. The M777 Lightweight 155mm howitzer provides timely, accurate, and continuous firepower in support of infantry forces operation.
M777 Lightweight 155mm howitzer
The M777 Lightweight 155mm howitzer provides timely, accurate, and continuous firepower in support of Marine and Army infantry forces and replaces the M198 towed Howitzer.
In 2015, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps began fielding the new type of M777 155mm artillery, a much smaller, lighter, and more maneuverable towed cannon weapon than its predecessor, resulting in improved transportability and mobility without impacting range or accuracy. Seven-Ton trucks are used to move the M777s, enabling artillery units to move faster between positions.
Philippine Marines 105mm howitzer
The Philippine Marines also conduct simultaneous 105mm howitzer firing. With the combination of 155mm and 105 mm Howitzers, both armed forces can maintain a high level of readiness and responsiveness and enhances combined military-to-military relations, interoperability, and multinational coordination.
For the Philippine Army, these skills are typically used in operations to lessen the risk of infantry and to destroy targets.

Our African animal fabric is back in stock!
This was discontinued, but we found one bolt of it!
This fabric features exotic animals . There is a bull elephant, surveying his world; a zebra eyeing leafy branches; a leopard lying on a fallen tree; and a giraffe with a baby browsing on berries. A misplaced tiger from India smiles at all.
This has a certain elegance to it. The background is a smooth wash of taupe, the animals are well defined, and the use of pink adds an unexpected bit of color. The ground cloth is a smooth twill with a soft hand, and nice drape. The total effect is really nice.
One of the things that sets this apart from many of the exotic animal fabrics is the scale of the design and the spacing of the pattern. Many of exotic animal fabrics are crowded with jungle leaves and flowers. With this fabric one can enjoy the animals and all of the details.
At the moment we don't have many African animal fabrics in stock. There is a small amount of the African animal charcoal toile fabric left.
The zebra fabric has an intriguing design.
Charcoal and beige zebras romp on a dusty raspberry background.
Charcoal and beige zebras romp on a dusty raspberry background.
This bold tiger fabric makes a statement. It has the opposite effect of that of the zebra fabric.
The zebra fabric has a tight pattern with animals going in all directions, which, along with the stripes, adds motion. The tiger fabric, has the same tiger in rows, with a lot of space between them. Their size and the way they are positioned give this a strong look and feel. Their size and the background orange make this a dramatic fabric.
One of the most interesting fabrics with African animals is this African fabric.
A woman walks through the African landscape. One Africa's flat topped trees and elephants are silhouetted against a moon made of elephant skin. A giraffe is displayed against a swatch of it's hide, and ethnic patterns add even more to the feel of this. This is a double wide fabric, and is also available in blue.

62d Pennsylvania Volunteers
an American Civil War Infantry Regiment
Regimental History and
The 62d does not appear to have had any more or fewer deserters than other regiments. As in the other regiments there were many reasons for desertion, and it was not necessarily a sign of cowardice. In many cases the records indicate the dates and places of desertions, and in a high percentage of cases the volunteers deserted not during battles, but in the boring times between battles, especially while in winter quarters. Many deserters returned voluntarily or were transferred to another company to serve the time, with penalty, remaining in the term of service.
In the regulations, the punishment for desertion was execution, but pardons or lesser sentences were routinely given. I know of no member of the 62d who was executed for desertion, but in one celebrated case, the 62d Pennsylvania, as part of the entire Fifth Corps, witnessed the execution of five bounty-jumper deserters. Bounty-jumping started fairly early in the war after recruits were paid bounties to enlist, and scoundrels would enlist, collect their bounty, but instead of reporting for duty, desert to enlist elsewhere under a different name. Bounty-jumping became epidemic after the draft was enacted with its system of allowing draftees to avoid serving by paying a bounty to substitutes. A month after Gettysburg, the army decided to dramatically execute some bounty-hunters as a deterrent, and took advantage of five bounty-jumpers who had signed up with the 118th Pennsylvania but were caught and arrested on 13 August 1863 when after escaping en route to they tried to re-cross the Potomac. Seven days later they were court-martialed and sentenced to die before a firing squad. All had previous bounty-jumping records; and, perhaps a major factor in the decision to execute them, all were foreigners. Only one had a good command of English; two were Roman Catholic, and one was a Jew. The appeal made to President Lincoln, but he was uncharacteristically unsympathetic. After one stay of execution to allow time for a priest and a rabbi to arrive, on 29 August the three divisions of the Fifth Corps formed three sides of a hollow square, while a military band played somber music. Members of the press, including an illustrator from Harper's Weekly, were among the assembly of witnesses, as well. Graves were dug. Coffins were placed beside the holes. The manacled prisoners were positioned in a sitting position on the coffins, and sixty members of the provost guard fired upon Charles Walter (aka C. Zene), a 29 year old German bookkeeper; Emil Lae (aka E. Duffie or Duffe), a 30 year old German clerk; George Kuhn (aka G Week), a 22 year old Prussian Jewish barber; John Rainese (aka Gion or George Rionese), a 23 year old Italian; and John Folaney (aka Faline or Geacinto Lerchize), a 24 year old Italian. After the weapons were inspected to see that each man had fired his weapon, and the bodies inspected, the condemned were declared dead. The band changed its tone of music, starting with "The Girl I Left Behind Me," as company by company, the regiments of the Fifth Corps paraded in columns passed the bodies and back to their camps.
Punishment for minor crimes and petty offenses were administered under the authority of the regiment's commander to avoid the time and effort of a trial or court martial. There is some evidence that discipline in the 62d was strictly administered, but that "the Boys having nothing to do [would get] up to all sorts of Devilment." When the troops were in winter quarters, there was plenty of nothing to do, and there was a guard house. While in winter quarters or on campaigns, however, embarrassment seems to have been employed as chief means of punishment. In addition to an order, mentioned above under "Sobriety," calling for the tying up of soldiers for getting drunk, other punishments cited by Shenkel included soldiers being drummed out of camp or drummed around camp wearing a barrel, having their heads shaved, or "wearing an old pair of pants and overcoat after cutting the buttons off."
There were a few more serious nefarious affairs involving either officer or privates, and much stronger punishments.
Captain Thomas Kerr was dismissed on 5 April 1863 for overcharging the Adjutant General's office in Harrisburg for reimbursement for rental payment for a room used as a recruiting office in Rimersburg. In his defense, Kerr indicated he had negotiated a smaller amount than he realized he was authorized to pay, but although he submitted a report asking for the higher figure, it was only because he had to report to duty with his company that he was unable to straighten out the matter.
Private Peter Abbott was court-martialed for being absent without leave from 16 June to 16 July 1864. Before his General Court Martial, he testified that he had been given a pass to visit his father, Private Squire Abbott of the 155th Pennsylvania Volunteers, at Corps Hospital, but had missed a boat and was then unable me to get the necessary pass to join his company at Washington. He was found guilty on 2 August 1864 and sentenced to forfeit all pay and allowance from then on and to make good the time lost by serving time in the 91st PA. He apparently caught malaria during the campaign at Petersburg. As part of the sentence, when he finally mustered out, he was dishonorably discharged. The dishonorable discharge, however, seems to have been overturned, since his wife successfully applied for a widow's pension.
By far the most interesting case of crime or misdemeanor involved Private Peter Gilner from Company F. He was arrested, tried, and sentenced to be executed, but through accident and bureaucratic ineptitude, plus some congressional pressure, his life was spared. Through the valiant research efforts of Gary Kersey, details of the general court martial and pardon by Abraham Lincoln have come to light. The incident that got him in trouble occurred in September 1863 near Cedar Creek, near Culpeper, Va. This was the post-Gettysburg period when both Lee's and Meade's armies were resting and reorganizing. Except for some minor skirmishes, it was a time of idleness and a great opportunity for idle men to get into trouble. On the night in question, there was an altercation between eight drunken soldiers and two black women. Although eight men were involved, it was Gilner alone who got into trouble. A captain saw the event and rode up to investigate the trouble, and Gilner told him to mind his own business, or he would kill him. Obviously drunk, Gilner then picked up some rocks and threw one which narrowly missed. The captain went and got help. When he returned, only Gilner remained on the scene. Once again he threatened the officer and threw a stone, but this time he hit the captain.
Gilner was tried and found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad. He was accused of going "beyond lines past a Mrs. Brown's house, then bloodied the mouth and nose of a black lady." The worse charge was striking the officer. That carried the death penalty. Awaiting execution, Gilner was confined with prisoners who had been found guilty of desertion. Several months later, upon General Meade's recommendation, the deserters' death sentences were commuted to confinement in the prison at Ft. Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas in the Florida Keys. At the same time, some 60 disorderly men from the 2d Maine (made famous by the story of Joshua L. Chamberlain's speech to them when they threatened mutiny instead of joining the 20th Maine just prior to the fighting on the second day at Gettysburg). Mistakenly, Gilner was shipped to Florida with these deserters and other miscreants. When it came time for his execution, Gilner could not be found. After the Meade learned that Gilner was no longer in the army, but in prison, steps were taken for him to be returned and executed. Before that happened, a member of Congress from Pittsburgh, James K. Moorhead, got involved and successfully pleaded first for a stay of execution and then for a pardon. Gilner's mother may have had an audience with Lincoln as well. Lincoln signed the pardon, and on 19 October 1864 the unexecuted portion of Private Peter Gilner's sentence was remitted and he was released from imprisonment. At some point Gilner then was transferred to the 155th P. V., and he was honorably discharged. Unfortunately, however, Gilner was denied a pension and unable to have the dishonorable discharge based on his conviction and original sentence of execution.
A New York Times article reported on 15 September 1878 that at a Company F reunion at Wildwood Grove, Castleshannon, a comrade, identified only as Patrick P., [Note, however, that there were no volunteers in the 62d whose first name was Patrick and last name began with the letter P.] after "partaking pretty freely of the refreshments," arose and confessed to having committed the crime for which Gilner had suffered. It was further reported that a committee of former officers would be formed to lay the facts before the War Department. It remains undetermined if the drunken confession had any merit or whether or not the committee actually met or made a report. Gilner tried for over 40 years to get a pension, but was always denied. As late as 1910 he filed for an invalid pension, while he was living in Ohio.

The White House has responded to recent petitions requesting disclosure of UFO-related information by saying that the US government has no knowledge of any extraterrestrial presence on earth and has never communicated in any way with extraterrestrials. At the same time, a Los Angeles researcher has stated that he has "proved" that the close encounter experience is a form of lucid dream that can be reliably induced in a sleep lab.
In his powerful new online journal, "The White House Says We're Alone," Whitley Strieber offers a searing rebuttal to these claims, pointing out that previous on-the-record statements by officials such as General Arthur Exon, the Commandant of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base strongly suggest that the White House is either uninformed about such matters or is lying. And if close encounters are really just lucid dreams, then what are implants that have been found to be broadcasting FM signals before being removed from witnesses?
The image above was taken in Washington, DC, in 1952. It clearly shows a flock of geese illuminated by hot air as they pass behind the Capitol. Despite the fact that geese fly regular migratory routes, these have never returned. Air Force officials theorize that the hot air around the Capitol building keeps them away.

Nora Murphy is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology in the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts. Her research specialty centers on "first impressions" and how individuals accurately detect the traits and characteristics of others in a social interaction, particularly through nonverbal communication. We spoke with Murphy about the brain's ability to process first impressions almost instantaneously.
How much time does it take most of us to reach conclusions about others based on their nonverbal behavior?
We do it instantly, and researchers consider it a non-conscious process. We're processing things in our heads outside of our awareness. When someone smiles, you don't consciously say, "Oh, that person is smiling at me; I think he or she is friendly."
When do we start learning how to do that?
Some researchers believe recognizing people's expressions instantaneously has an evolutionary advantage. In the past, we had to know that the lion growling at us was not friendly, and we'd run away. People who have studied facial expressions know that children at a very young age of six months or younger can respond to a smile instantaneously and smile back.
What are some cues, or tics of behavior, that we interpret when reading expressions?
One cue is what researchers call micro-expressions — expressions that happen rapidly, and probably outside our awareness. In the face, muscle contractions are an example. If someone is serving me a meal I don't like, I might have a feeling of disgust and make a micro-expression of disgust but then recognize that I need to mask that expression.
Does the ability to gauge nonverbal behavior change with age?
Yes, actually. In my research, we've compared the ability of people older than 65 to those younger than 25 in their ability to judge facial expression. Younger adults outperform older adults on negative emotions, such as sadness, fear or anger. One hypothesis is that as people age, they get better at regulating their emotions, and part of regulating one's emotions is not paying as much attention to other people's negative emotions. Older adults are better than younger adults at detecting false smiles, which is a measure of a positive emotion, and can better distinguish the fake smile from the genuine smile. The hypothesis is that as people get older, discriminating between a genuine and a fake smile is an experience effect. So older adults just have more experience at it.
Some public figures — government spokespeople, for example — seem to remove every nonverbal cue from their facial expressions when they speak to the media.
It can be cognitively [difficult] to try to control our nonverbal behaviors. Once you tell me I can't show certain things, it becomes a cognitive "load." So, on top of everything else I need to be doing, I have to mask. That's hard. There is a term we use called nonverbal leakage in which people who are trying to mask leak out clues that they are not aware of.
If a student comes into your office to explain why his paper is late, does your training enable you to judge his truthfulness?
I would better be able to judge that based not on micro-expressions but on other cues I've picked up in my experience as a professor that tell me, "I've heard this excuse before."

Change is in the air. And now we have a view from space to prove it.
A map created from NASA satellite data shows stunning improvements in air quality in U.S. cities between 2005 and 2011. While orbiting the atmosphere, NASA's Aura satellite kept tabs on U.S. air pollution for a decade. The areas in red, which indicate high levels of nitrogen dioxide, shrunk dramatically in the 6-year period. The largest improvements were in the Northeast, from Boston to Washington, D.C., and in the Ohio River Valley.
Nitrogen dioxide comes from vehicle exhaust and other burning of fossil fuels. The brownish gas can irritate lungs, and react with other air pollutants to form photochemical ozone and fine particulates, which are linked to respiratory disease and heart attacks. Regulations targeting vehicle exhaust and other sources of nitrogen dioxide are credited with the improvement. Nevertheless, an estimated 142 million Americans still live with unhealthful levels of air pollution, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The space-based view gives scientists and regulators a new way to evaluate air pollution. Before the satellite, air quality was mostly measured on the ground. See more maps from NASA.

During Tuesday night's Republican debate, Wolf Blitzer asked former neurosurgeon Ben Carson how he would deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Carson began by talking about how North Korea's over-spending on its military has contributed to its extreme poverty — which is indeed true — but then pivoted to an awfully strange point about Russia and Putin and oil sales and Europe. It is a bit difficult to parse:
I do believe he [North Korean leader Kim Jong Un] is unstable and China has more influence with him than we do. But we also recognize that North Korea is in severe financial straits and they have decided to use their resources to build their military than to feed their people and take care of the humanitarian responsibilities that they have.
We can capitalize on that. We can use that to keep Putin contained. He is a one horse show, energy. And we have an abundance of energy but we have archaic energy export rules. We need to get rid of those and make Europe dependent on us for energy, put him back in his little box where he belongs. And we need to do a lot of other things with the resources that we have. So that economic power works just as well as military power, perhaps better.
The military needs to be upgraded. You look at the Ohio glass submarines, the minuteman 3 missiles, the B-52 bombers, you know, if we don't get the military right nothing else matters.
Two weeks ago, Carson foreign policy adviser Duane Clarridge told the New York Times that "nobody has been able to sit down with him and have him get one iota of intelligent information about the Middle East." It doesn't seem like the Asia prep sessions went any better.

As the world continues to grapple with its temporary new normal, Rolling Stone wants to make sure its readers, and music fans, don't miss out on their spring and summer concert plans.
In an effort to leverage its access to musical artists across genres, the Penske Media brand launched an IGTV concert series, "In My Room" on March 18. New episodes will debut every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The first featured Beach Boys front man, Brian Wilson, at his piano, singing his hits.
"We have the opportunity to bring the Rolling Stone community together and foster greater connection between our fans and the artists they admire most," president and COO Gus Wenner tells Folio:. "They can still experience the joy of music with a community of people, including artists they love. That's what we're trying to convey to fans, and that's where our focus is right now."
After one episode, the company purported that 24-hour viewership was 70% higher than its average video views across social platforms (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter). But despite the high engagement, monetizing the series is not a priority for the time being.
"Right now we're focused on sharing songs from different artists around the globe with our consumers to give them some much needed entertainment and glimpse into how the creative community is dealing with this crisis," Wenner says. "As this platform builds, we'll discuss working with partners who similarly believe that music brings people comfort, and provides a welcome distraction and powerful message during a stressful time in our society."
Wenner would not get into specifics on which artists are slated for their own episode of "In My Room," and instead would only say, "We have a very eclectic lineup that includes established and emerging artists, across generations and just about every genre, including hip-hop, country, and Latin."
Although this immediate response to the COVID-19 outbreak was crafted with readers in mind, Wenner says "In My Room" has long-term value for all of its stakeholders.
"The music industry is suffering from the implications of COVID-19 right now, but the impact of this crisis won't end when COVID-19 does," he says. "Because of that, we're encouraging viewers in the write-ups on RollingStone.com to not only purchase merchandise of the artists we feature, but to support all musicians undergoing financial hardship by giving to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund."

Stash is reaching resource limits
This article aims to explain the meaning of the "Stash is reaching resource limits..." banner that you might be seeing on your instance.
It is important to note that you might have two different banners displayed by Stash:
- The yellow banner indicating Stash is queuing requests or;
- The red banner that indicates that requests are actually being rejected
A yellow banner under heavy load is normal. Do not change any of your configuration parameters at this stage. Before increasing your configuration limits, you need to monitor the CPU, memory and/or I/O load on the server and verify that the box isn't thrashing, as increasing the ticket limits can worsen your instance performance. This is better explained in the following sections.
Memory budget
When deciding on how much memory to allocate for Stash, the most important factor to consider is the amount of memory required by the
git operations. Stash's default JVM memory configuration (
-Xms256m -Xmx768) works well for customers with large instances in our experience as Stash's heap size has zero impact on hosting operations. Most of the memory usage in a server running Stash is on the forked
git processes – the
git operations are very expensive in terms of memory. So allocating more memory to the Stash JVM won't help your instance scale and perform better. The effect can be exactly the opposite: if your server doesn't have enough free memory available for the forked
git operations because your Stash JVM is using most of the memory, as soon as
git concurrent operations start to happen, you will experience a performance loss as your server will not have enough memory to fork out more
git processes.
Ok. I get that I shouldn't tweak Stash's default memory in most cases. How should I budget my server memory then?
It is a simple formula: we should focus on how many concurrent hosting tickets Stash allows as well as how much memory is used by a single clone in order to budget the memory usage.
- Memory usage by a single clone operation
As a rule of thumb, 1.5 x the repository size on disk (contents of the
.git/objectsdirectory) is a rough estimate of the required memory for a single clone operation for repositories up to 400 MB. For larger repositories, memory usage flattens out at about 700 MB. For example, for a single hosting operation, as the number of memory usage for Stash remains constant at about 800MB (default) during the entire hosting operation, Git's memory usage climbs according to the rule just described.
For a detailed analysis on server's resource usage, please read through Scaling Stash - Clones examined.
- Number of concurrent operations allowed by Stash
By default, Stash limits the number of Git operations that can be executed concurrently in order to prevent the performance for all clients dropping below acceptable levels. These limits can be adjusted – see Stash config properties.
The parameter used for that (
throttle.resource.scm-hosting) is based on the number of CPUs that you have on your server and its formula is
1.5 x cpu.
- Awesome! Now I can calculate how much memory I need on my server to safely run Stash
That's all you need to know. So, for a common Stash environment the budget would be:
- Stash: 768MB
- Git: 1.5 * (4 CPUs) * 700 MB = 4200 MB
- Operating System: 1024 MB
- Total: 5992 MB
- 40% safety margin: ~ 8 GB
- Please refer to Scaling Stash for more details.
Questions and answers
On the UI, the message "Stash is queuing requests" appears and it is followed later by "Stash is reaching resource limits". What does it mean?
Let's take the example described in the Memory budget section. At "Stage 1", with 4 CPUs, Stash will allow 6 SCM hosting operations to be executed concurrently, thus forking each one of them out into Git processes. If the server receives more than these 6 SCM requests, these will be queued up and won't be forked out into Git processes in order to avoid a memory exhaustion on your server. At "Stage 2", some of the Git processes initially forked out will finish processing and Stash takes requests from the SCM queue to fill in those slots. In a third stage, Stash will fork them out into new Git processes.
It is important to note that if requests are queued up for more than a minute, Stash will display the "Stash is queueing requests..." message.
If requests are queued up for more than 5 minutes (
throttle.resource.scm-hosting.timeout), they are rejected and the
clone/fetch/push operation will fail. At this time, the "Stash is reaching resource limits..." message is displayed. The message will disappear when 5 minutes have passed in which no requests have been rejected (
throttle.resource.busy.message.timeout or
server.busy.on.ticket.rejected.within for Stash 3.0+). These parameters can be adjusted – see Stash config properties.
See an example of the data that is logged for each type of denied SCM request below:
A [scm-hosting] ticket could not be acquired (0/12)
2015-08-28 11:41:00,327 WARN [ssh-scm-request-handler] Access key user (drohan@localhost) @16NVUP5x701x17836x333 1z0lim3 10.10.10.122 SSH - git-upload-pack '/alpha/apple.git' c.a.s.i.t.SemaphoreThrottleService A [scm-hosting] ticket could not be acquired (0/24)

Please see http://docs.atlassian.com/stash/docs-0212/Scaling+Stash for performance guidelines.

2015-08-28 11:41:05,327 WARN [http-nio-7990-exec-9] usera @16NVUP5x701x17836x3 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 "GET /projects/TEST/repos/test/commits HTTP/1.1" c.a.s.i.t.SemaphoreThrottleService A [scm-command] ticket could not be acquired (0/1)
To illustrate these stages, see picture below:
The message should be taken seriously: requests are being rejected and if this happens regularly it's an indication that your instance is not well dimensioned.
Which actions should I take to get around this issue?
As explained above, the secret is to have a queue with a number of hosting tickets that is processed quickly by your system. Even if a small queue is formed but emptied before the tickets start getting rejected you should be ok. Common mistakes that customers make and results in worse performance - don't perform those:
- Increasing the amount of memory for the Stash JVM. Don't do that! Usually, by taking this action, a lot of memory from the server is allocated to the JVM and little extra free memory is available to the Git processes being forked out by Stash. This is bad and can have side effects like the one described git push fails - Out of memory, malloc failed as the Git processes are being chocked by the lack of free memory.
- Increasing the number of hosting tickets by tweaking
throttle.resource.scm-hosting. Don't do that! The reason for not taking this action lies on what was previously explained: the system will wait up to 5 minutes (default configuration of
throttle.resource.scm-hosting.timeout) for a ticket to free up. That said, reducing the number of hosting tickets may result in some queuing, however the individual clones tends to be processed faster due to reduced I/O contention which increases the likelihood a ticket frees up before the timeout. On the other hand, by increasing the number of hosting tickets Stash can handle, you will increase the amount of time your CPUs are processing the forked out Git processes as there will be more which in turn decreases the likelihood of a ticket to be freed up before the timeout.
Below are a few actions that should help you get your Stash processing hosting tickets faster. Please consider these:
Continuous Integration polling
Reduce the frequency your CI servers are checking out repositories from Stash. This is a common point reported by customers hitting this issue. If you have a large number of Git operations happening on Stash, you're likely to have the "Stash is reaching resources limits..." message. Make sure your CI servers are reasonably keeping Stash busy and reduce polling when possible. Make sure you have the SCM caching plugin turned on and up-to-date as described in Scaling Stash for Continuous Integration performance.
SSL processing
Running SSL all the way through to Stash is another common issue we see in customers hitting this issue. For a better performance, you really need to setup a proxy in front of Stash. The Java SSL stack is nowhere near as efficient as any of those and removing this will result in much more efficient processing from Stash. Please see Proxying and securing Stash on how to perform this change.
Ref advertisement caching
The ref advertisement feature is disabled by default as explained in Scaling Stash for Continuous Integration performance under the Caching section. However, it can produce a noticeable reduction in load when enabled. You shouldn't need to restart Stash to accomplish that; you can change it at any time using the REST API calls detailed in Enabling and disabling caching.
Server resources
It is important to ask yourself the questions below:
- How much memory?
- How many CPUs?
Budget your server accordingly. Refer to the Memory budget section as well as Scaling Stash for more details on how to do this.
- Plugins: As explained, this issue has a lot to do with processing. Make sure you don't have any plugins affecting your performance. We've had experience with Awesome Graphs: it is a nice plugin but the indexing it does is CPU and IO intensive and can dramatically affect the performance of a Stash instance. If your system is already under heavy load, we advise you to disable all user installed plugins for a period of observation. Follow the instruction in Set UPM to safe mode.
- Processing: A strategy here could be adding more CPUs to the machine while keeping the concurrency max at your current system's default. So let's say you have 4 CPUs reported by your system. Your current SCM hosting ticket number is 6. Adding more CPUs and keeping the concurrency queue on its previous state, will help you process those 6 hosting tickets quicker, leaving the extra requests queued up for a shorter period, thus, yielding a better flow of tickets. Hence, this will give you more capacity to handle the same load and improve the overall performance while the server is busy performing hosting operations.
You can keep the current concurrency limit by adding the following configuration to your
stash-config.properties (create one if it doesn't exist and restart Stash so it will load the new file):
# Limits the number of SCM hosting operations, meaning pushes and pulls over HTTP or SSH, which may be running concurrently.
# This is intended primarily to prevent pulls, which can be very memory-intensive, from pinning a server's resources.
# There is limited support for mathematical expressions; +,-,*,\ and () are supported. You can also use the 'cpu'
# variable which is resolved to the number of cpus that are available.
How can I monitor the SCM hosting tickets usage without resorting to a thread dump analysis?
There are two ways to monitor Stash's ticket counts, depending on what exactly you want from your monitoring.
The first approach is to write a plugin. Stash raises TicketAcquiredEvent, TicketReleasedEvent and TicketRejectedEvent at all the times you'd expect events with those names to be raised. Each event includes the bucket the ticket came from. You'd want to monitor the "
scm-hosting" ones; "
scm-command" ones are used for trivial operations like
git diff and
git rev-list and are never held for more than a couple of seconds at a time.
If you choose to go down this route, please take care to do as little processing as possible in your
@EventListener method. If you need to do a lot of processing, please create an
ExecutorService of your own to do it on. Tying up Stash's event threads can result in strange behavior.
The second approach is to add the following line to
stash-config.properties and restart Stash:
This will enable trace logging specifically for the ticketing system. With that in place you'll start seeing messages like these:
2014-04-07 22:48:32,492 TRACE [http-bio-7990-exec-3] bturner 1368x89x0 qt8gqa 192.168.30.1 "POST /scm/AT/stash.git/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" c.a.s.i.t.SemaphoreThrottleService Acquired [scm-hosting] ticket (5/6)
2014-04-07 22:48:46,266 TRACE [http-bio-7990-exec-3] bturner 1368x89x0 qt8gqa 192.168.30.1 "POST /scm/AT/stash.git/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" c.a.s.i.t.SemaphoreThrottleService Released [scm-hosting] ticket (6/6)
The count is shown at the end, showing (
available/total). In other words, on the first line it's showing one ticket is in use (not five) out of 6, and on the second it's showing that all 6 tickets are available again. You'll also see lines for "scm-command" tickets, but it's unlikely those counts will ever matter much; we've never yet had a customer have issues with "scm-command" tickets because their lifecycle is so brief.
I can't identify my performance culprit. What's the next step?
Please open an issue with Atlassian Support. Make sure of the following:
- You downloaded the logparser tool and ran the
generate-access-logs-graph.shon your Stash
atlassian-stash-access*.logsas per instructions on its page. Attach the graphs to the issue. If you can't run the tool, that's ok. We will run it for you based on your Support Zip.
- You have your instance debug logging on
- You have your instance profile logging on: this item is very important as it is through it we can see which process is taking a long time to be finished
- You generated the Support Zip (Administration -> Atlassian Support Tools -> Support Zip -> Create) after the problem happened. Pleased attach to the support issue and make sure Limit File Sizes? is unchecked.

A Fender® Special Run Tele® in the rare Antigua finish.
The Fender® classic yet seldom-seen Antigua finish returns for this special Telecaster® model. The distinctively shaded body hue debuted in the late 1960s and was briefly revived with a more graduated greenish tint in 1977, when it first appeared on both the Telecaster® body and pickguard. Antigua-finish Fender® instruments have appeared only sporadically since the late 1970s and are rare finds now, prized by discerning collectors worldwide. This new special-edition Antigua Telecaster® is available only in limited quantities and is an authentic evocation of one of Fender's most historically exclusive finish options.

Guitar Setup
My setup on guitars includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. I spray out any pots that are noisy. I turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. If you're looking for the perfect setup on a used guitar, please expect to take it to a trained luthier who is familiar with your individual playing style and preferences. ps: basses get the same setup minus the new strings. Thanks!
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Are you tired of handling all your own repairs, maintenance, and improvement projects in Arlington? You can't stop gradual wear from affecting your home or business, but who has all the time, tools, skills, and knowledge to deal with every little thing a building needs?
Drywall holes, broken tiles, faulty fixtures and most other common property problems are annoying and potentially hazardous — yet some people choose to live with all those issues because the inconvenience and risk they add doesn't outweigh the costs that effective repairs require in time and energy.
General contractors are one option that everyone in Arlington has for dealing with all their distracting damage. A team of comprehensive construction experts like the pros at Mr. Handyman of Arlington can handle everything from standard maintenance services to bathroom renovations.
Most people in Arlington know that a professional handyman can help them, but they're still wary of hiring someone because of all the common questions and concerns that accompany contracting services. Letting someone into your home for a wide range of remodeling projects isn't always easy or simple. If you already know the answers to the most common questions, then it will be easier to make an informed decision about whether or not you want the benefits of professional improvement services from a general contractor.
Are General Contractors Insured?
If you hire someone from a professional contracting company, you should always confirm that they have full coverage for anything that might go wrong. You should also confirm that anyone working on residential buildings or completing commercial building projects has all the proper licenses and certification.
Every professional handyman on our team is fully insured with liability coverage and workers' compensation. Additionally, they're all certified for work with drywall repairs, carpentry, door installation, and much more!

Do General Contractors Complete Annual Maintenance Jobs in Arlington, TX?
The extensive range of services that your local full-service repair company offers isn't just for painting, kitchen remodels, or bathroom makeovers. Our team of experts would be happy to help with your seasonal deck maintenance and every other annual task on your to-do list.
What are The Benefits of Hiring A General Contractor in Arlington, TX?
No matter what you need for your home or business, a general contractor with years of construction experience can provide high-quality service with results that exceed those of amateur or DIY handyman services.
It's rare that anyone can complete a kitchen renovation or advanced home improvement project on their own, which means you'll need to hire a professional for projects like kitchen remodeling or bathroom remodeling. That high-quality workmanship will pay off with high-quality results for difficult jobs like laying a tile backsplash or installing cabinets.
Even if you only need basic services, the excellent service provided by a professional will help you complete numerous projects faster and with much better results than you'd get if you spent multiple days working on one thing alone. There are many reasons to call a professional handyman.
The Benefits:
Professional Expertise: Any reliable contractor will have years of experience and training that makes them a specialist with multiple tools and techniques. That expertise helps them get excellent results and provide high-quality workmanship that meets or exceeds industry standards.
Safe Services: Working with any tools comes with added risks for accidental damage and personal injury — even if you're just using a pressure washer or a ladder. The technical training and expertise of professional general contractors also ensures that your entire project will be completed safely and without any extra damage.
Complete Multiple Projects: The highly-skilled professionals that work as general contractors can use their expertise to complete numerous projects during a single appointment. The to-do list that might take you months to complete won't be an eternal effort for a professional handyman. They can do it all with just one call!
Save Time: Highly-skilled professionals can complete most tasks faster than less experienced people. That doesn't just mean that your entire project can be completed more efficiently; it means that numerous projects on your list will all be finished faster. General contractor services are a great way to keep maintenance and repair lists from getting so long that you start tripping over them.
Ongoing Support: Using the same general contractor for all your needs means that you're always getting help from somebody who is familiar with your property, including its unique needs, what's been done in the past, and what needs to be done in the future.
Do General Contractors Supply Their Own Materials?
Most companies give you options when it comes to materials. They can usually provide all necessary materials for an additional fee. Your other option is researching and supplying materials yourself. No matter which road you choose, a general contractor will be there to support you.
Our team of professionals can work with all the common materials that properties in Arlington use — and even some unusual options. If you're concerned about material costs or need help choosing a suitable tile color or countertop style, we would be happy to offer our professional insight at any time.

The Conception Bay Area Chamber of Commerce (CBACC) is the principal organization representing economic and business interests in the Conception Bay Area from Paradise to Marysvale. The Chamber is the recognized business community voice on matters of significant economic and business interest. In existence for over thirty years, its primary mandate is to enhance opportunities for members to improve their ability to do business.
At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic the CBACC was the go-to source for information for businesses. We assisted business owners in following federal, provincial, and municipal public health protocols, as well as connecting them with information regarding support programs. Through our partnerships with the Atlantic and Canadian Chamber's of Commerce, the CBACC was active in engaging with Federal leaders on issues affecting businesses in our rural communities. The Chamber is looking forward to continuing to be a part of the conversation with the elected member of parliament on matters that impact its members and the business community at large.
The CBACC sent a series of questions by email to the candidates running in the Avalon region. You will find the responses of the candidates who chose to participate below by clicking on the button underneath their names. (Please note: The documents are posted in the order in which they were received. CBACC staff converted Microsoft Word documents to PDF files but have not corrected any formatting or grammar in the documents that were submitted.)
The Questions:
- Economic growth in the Atlantic provinces and especially in Newfoundland & Labrador, has been flat for quite some time. If elected, how would you propose to kickstart sustainable economic growth in Newfoundland & Labrador?
- Recovery from this pandemic will take years and businesses across Canada have taken on significant pandemic related debt, including many of the subsidy programs being considered taxable income. If elected, how would you propose to address this issue to help small businesses get back on track and address pandemic related debt?
- Ongoing pandemic related income support programs are creating labour shortages across Canada in many industries. If elected, what plan would you propose to get Canadians back to work to address labour shortage issues?
- If elected, how would you specifically ensure the voice of the Conception Bay Area business community reaches Parliament Hill and key decision makers?
- From your perspective, what specifically can the Government of Canada do to further grow & support the business community within the Conception Bay Area?

The surface morphology of thin bilayer polymer films on top of glass substrates was investigated. The bilayer consists of a blend film of protonated and deuterated polystyrene and an underlying deuterated polystyrene film. Choosing the thickness of the top film larger than 8 times and smaller than 2 times the radius of gyration of the chains enables the determination of film thickness and confinement effects. With diffuse neutron scattering at grazing incidence in the region of total external reflection, a depth sensitivity and a contrast even at the internal polymer-polymer interface was achieved. The underlying film is conformal to the substrate, and depending on the thickness of the top film two different types of roughness correlations are observed. Thin confined films nestle to the underlying polymer films, while the stiffness of thicker bulky films provides an independent morphology. In both cases, annealing above the glass-transition temperature yields an interdiffusion at the internal polymer-polymer interface, and the polymer-air surface remains essentially unchanged with respect to roughness correlations.

LEDs as input devices?!?
I came across Multi-Touch Sensing through LED Matrix Displays in a posting on the synth-diy mailing list. After some extended googling I found the notes from Forrest M Mims that Jeff Han referenced in the above link. It turns out that LEDs work as very narrowband (50nm) detector, producing around 2-5 microamps depending on the LED. The LED's peak sensitivity is about 30nm shorter than its emitted wavelength, so red emitters work great with yellow-orange LEDs as detectors, yellow emiiters work well with green LED detectors, and so forth. I already have a great idea about using bicolor LED dot matrix displays for real time interactive displays.

Medically reviewed by Neil Chatterjee, MD
Yes. Morphine is a controlled substance, a group of highly regulated and controlled drugs due to their addictive and abuse potential. Controlled substances are high-risk medications and include opioids, benzodiazepines, anabolic steroids, and stimulants.
Morphine is an old drug that has been used for hundreds of years all over the world for pain control. Opium became popular in 1773 when the British began to control the poppy plantations in India. Opium addiction rose to alarming levels during the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1803 Friedrich Serturner, a German pharmacist, first isolated morphine from opium.
Morphine is a narcotic medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. Morphine acts in the central nervous system to alleviate pain. Opioid medications activate specific receptors in the body known as mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Opioids activate these receptors throughout the body, including the gut, central nervous, and limbic systems, which explains opioid-induced constipation, pain alleviation, and the effects of euphoria. As the central nervous system is responsible for respiration, using higher amounts of morphine can lead to respiratory depression, especially when combined with other drugs such as Valium and Xanax.
Morphine comes in many forms, making it a commonly used pain medication in hospital and home settings. The following are some of the common forms of morphine available.
As with all opioid medications, there are many side effects. Some of the more common side effects are constipation, nausea, somnolence (sleepiness), lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, vomiting, and sweating.
Morphine is a controlled substance and is NOT for everyone. Morphine is not the correct choice of medication for many people, in particular:
This post is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address any individual circumstances. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. When in doubt, speak to your doctor.
If you think you may be experiencing overdose or have any other medical emergency, immediately call your doctor or dial 911.

Spanish police arrest teen in euro note counterfeiting scheme
- Published: Jan 4, 2021, 9 AM
The Spanish National Police arrested a teenager who lives near Barcelona, accusing him of counterfeiting euro bank notes of high quality and selling them to clients across Spain, as well as in Portugal and the United Kingdom.
The teen allegedly forged €10, €20, and €50 bank notes.
Euro Weekly News said on Dec. 22 that the youngster was exceptionally skilled, so much so that he is alleged to have offered classes to those so inclined on how to make fake money as well as how to source the supplies needed.
The Bank of Spain's National Analysis Center confirmed to Euro Weekly News that the work was very realistic, and so difficult to detect that they were a danger to businesses.
Investigators believe that the youth may be part of a larger counterfeiting operation, and there may be more arrests as investigations continue.
According to news accounts, the police investigation began in October, when it was discovered that someone using a private profile on a social network was claiming to sell forged notes.

"In Q3 2020, hate speech prevalence was 0.10 percent to 0.11 percent or 10 to 11 views of hate speech for every 10,000 views of content," the report notes.
The report also revealed that Facebook took down 19.2 million pieces of violent and graphic content. This number is up from the 15 million it reported in the last quarter.
Further, Facebook removed 12.4 million pieces of child nudity and sexual exploitation content in the quarter, increasing from the 9.5 million reported in Q2. It also took down 3.5 million posts for bullying or harassment, increasing from the 2.4 million from Q2.

The report also revealed that Facebook took down 1.3 million pieces of suicide and self-injury content on Instagram.
Facebook says that these metrics show its progress towards catching harmful content, and that it is going to continue improving its enforcement efforts to remove this type of content from its apps.

Great news from the land of birth of flight!
100% Committed pic.twitter.com/xoAlJzyxA7— Jamoi Hodge (@jamoi_hodge_15) November 26, 2019
Jamoi Hodge is a 6-2 225lb three star linebacker from my neck of the woods, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A full qualifier out of high school, he is a four-for three player now. His main offers were from Arizona and SMU. After a great visit during the Wisconsin game, many commitment prognosticators saw him coming to Lincoln. Today, he made it official.
I like these highlights. Jamoi shows versatility, playing outside in a 4-3 and inside in a 4-2-5. He has the speed to match up in coverage against that tight end running a slant or crossing route, or the running back slipped out on the delay or wheel route, both of which have been tearing a new a-hole in the defense lately. He also has the smarts and vision not to over-pursue and get beat on a cutback by a ball carrier. There is also evidence of enough strength and technique to shed blocks and penetrate the backfield on a blitz. Overall, this is a player that can immediately address some critical deficiencies in the blackshirt defense. I wish he could play this Friday, but we're going to have to wait until May for him to arrive on campus.
The commitment of Jamoi, along with the recent commitment of fellow JUCO linebacker Junior Aho, puts the 2020 recruiting class at 28th overall, 6th in the B1G. This class is heating up!
Welcome to the Husker family, Jamoi! GBR!

The puzzle genre is to video games what the horror genre is to books; both are fading fast. Like horror in literature, at one time puzzle games were big business. Games like Tetris were popular with gamers because of their addictive nature, and how new and innovative those games were at the time. As time went on though, a lack of innovation in newer puzzle titles led many gamers to get bored with puzzle games. Gradually, the puzzle genre lost so many fans that it went from being a huge genre to what it is now, a niche genre. While … Continue reading Bubbles Everywhere!
