The leadership of the LTTE was decimated in Mullivaikkal and on the banks of the Nandikakadal lagoon
The professionalism of the Sri Lankan security forces has won widespread praise across the world
Army Commander used tactics and strategy against the LTTE which Prabhakaran could not figure out how to react
The Sri Lankan Army, on July 16, 2008 captured the Vidaththalthivu Sea Tiger base, a strategically important fortification of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the Mannar District.
Since this major victory was achieved by the security forces a few months after they recaptured the entire Eastern Province culminating in the fall of the Tamil rebels' Thoppigala Camp, an unprecedented confidence of final victory had been infused in the minds of the people in the southern parts of the country.
Hence, banners and posters sprang up all over those parts of the country applauding the security forces, though many people did not know even where Vidaththalthivu is situated or what the significance of the capture of the sea Tiger base was.
The celebrations were not organised by any group or groups but were a spontaneous outcome of the week long media hype on the battle of Vidaththalthivu.
That was a turning point in the rising fame of the then Army Commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka, as people in the southern parts of the country started venerating him. His fame then grew like a meteor with the 58 Division of Sri Lanka Army led by Brigadier Shavendra Silva advancing in a rapid pace along the western cost of the Wanni, the Tiger heartland and then making its thrust into that region.
When the troops recaptured Kilinochchi, the then administrative capital of the LTTE in January 2, 2009 after a lull period and a long siege of the town, Fonseka's fame was shot to its peak and some people in the south fondly suggested that he would defeat even President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who was already politically capitalising the war victories by the troops, if he contested the ensuing Presidential Election.
Gotabaya had a military past. He had taken voluntary retirement from the Sri Lanka Army. He had retained his long standing friendship with Lt. General Sarath Fonseka. Gotabaya met Fonseka and asked him, 'Can you go for a win'? The battle-hardened veteran said 'Yes, but you will have to permit me to pick my own team."
Gotabaya and Mahinda agreed.
"We will let the military do its job, while we hold the fort, politically," they told Fonseka. This deft political arrangement worked"
The leadership of the LTTE was decimated in Mullivaikkal and on the banks of the Nandikakadal lagoon by May, 2009 while its fighting capacity was brought down to zero with its combatants either being killed or captured or surrendering to the security forces.
By the time the total credit for the victory in the more than three decade long war against the most ruthless terrorist outfit in the world, as it was called, had gone to the political leadership of the country.
Even Army Commander Fonseka conceded it probably due to the heightened public opinion created by the politicians and the media.
Responding to a question as to what the secret behind the victory in the war that was achieved within a short period of two years and ten months during an interview with the now defunct Bottom Line newspaper, Fonseka said "To win this war, I was backed by strong political leadership. Whenever there was international pressure exerted on the Government, to stop this war, President Mahinda Rajapaksa stood up to the pressure without caving in. Apart from the President, Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa too, had confidence in me. They understood the enemy. Both had a good understanding."
He was correct. It was due to the sheer confidence reposed on him, he was appointed Army Commander. After an interview with Gotabaya Rajapaksa Indian journalist V. K. Shashikumar wrote in the Indian Defence Review of July – Sept 2009 issue how Fonseka was chosen.
"Gotabaya had a military past. He had taken voluntary retirement from the Sri Lanka Army. He had retained his long standing friendship with Lt. General Sarath Fonseka. Gotabaya met Fonseka and asked him, 'Can you go for a win'? The battle-hardened veteran said 'Yes, but you will have to permit me to pick my own team."
Gotabaya and Mahinda agreed.
"We will let the military do its job, while we hold the fort, politically," they told Fonseka. This deft political arrangement worked"
Though the credit for the victory drifted towards the political leadership, Fonseka was still the star. In an interview with the State run ITN soon after the end of the war Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, stated "The professionalism of the Sri Lankan security forces has won widespread praise across the world and the Indian Defence Secretary M.K. Narayanan called the Army Commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka the best Army Commander in the world for his role against capturing back LTTE occupied areas in the North and the Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka."
He further said "These achievements would never have been won without the experience, the knowledge, the bravery and heroism of Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka."
Pointing out another reason why the armed forces won in the fourth Eelam War Gotabaya Rajapaksa said "Army Commander used tactics and strategy against the LTTE which Prabhakaran could not figure out how to react. The Army Commander used soldiers in small groups in attacking the enemy. He had a wider frontage in dealing with the enemy, to attack from several places at the same time."
However, there had been an undercurrent of cold war between the military and political leaderships during or soon after this period as a result of which Fonseka was asked to step down in two days and was kicked upstairs as Chief of Defence Staff (CDS).
The Wanni Commander during the war Major General Jagath Jayasuriya succeeded as the Army Commander.
Nevertheless, Fonseka was still the star.
Lieutenant General Jayasuriya hence had to tell a state run newspaper "We were able to defeat the LTTE, which was supposed to be invincible, mainly due to his (Fonseka's) great leadership and commitment. I am so proud to be part of the team under his leadership. I was able to give my fullest support to General Fonseka during his tenure, to win the war.
His "removal" from the Army's top post indicated the first step towards Fonseka's downfall and the first open manifestation of the fallout between him and Rajapaksas.
Then he challenged President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the 2010 Presidential Elections, but contrary to the suggestions floated during the capture of Kilinochchi he was humiliatingly defeated. The "best Army Commander in the world" was dubbed by some of the ministers of the Rajapaksa Government such as Dullas Alahapperuma even as an agent of the LTTE.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa who praised Fonseka for his "experience, the knowledge, the bravery and heroism" said that what Fonseka did was nothing but any other Army Commander would have done.
Now, Field Marshal Fonseka calls Jayasuriya a war criminal. He does not seem to have common sense about the command responsibility of any crime allegedly committed during his tenure as Army Commander.
On the other hand, Rajapaksas cruelly avenged their war-winning commander by cashiering, imprisoning and depriving him of his medals and even the pension he had earned.
Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda, the Navy Commander during the last phase of the war, levels so many allegations of undermining his duties, in his book Adishtanaya against Fonseka. Can one imagine this was the leadership of a team that won a war against a ruthless rebel organisation that had an Army, Navy and an Air Force?
The latest allegation of war crimes by Field Marshal Fonseka were levelled days before the 36th UNHRC Regular Session started in Geneva.
This had been followed by a lawsuit filed by a group in Brazil against General Jayasuriya days before he left that country after serving his tenure as the Sri Lankan Ambassador there. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Prince Zeid Ra'ad Al- Hussein had reiterated his call for the international intervention in the investigations into the alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka during the ongoing session of the UNHRC.
The defencive attitude by the successive Governments has created a situation where the LTTE has been almost absolved from the allegations.
The only attempt to correct the situation, on behalf of the Government and the security forces, thus far was made by the former Civil Security Department Chief Retired Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekara, who had gone to Geneva in June with allegations against the LTTE.
However, "two wrongs don't make a right." The allegation of war crimes and human rights violations would haunt Sri Lanka in the future as well until the government proved that the allegations against the security forces are wrong.

We sit in the wake of election night. And all we can think of who is the president? At this point there's still ballots being counted there's reports of malfunctioning software. But no clear winner. But yet everyone out there who wanted it to be has declared Joe Biden the president.
My issue with this is not the fact that I did not vote for Joe Biden. It's the way this all panned out. This campaign against the president started four years ago and some days. Before he even took office it was already different things in place to try to keep him from obtaining the office and then ultimately being removed from the office before he even started.
I'd like to thank it's like that for every single candidate out there but I don't believe so. For the candidates that are willing to play the game and succumb to a bigger picture of someone else's vision there's nothing but legacy.
For the candidates out there who go for presidency win it and do not go the way of this vision are constantly discredited attacked and are demoralized.
I was told that this was an election about human rights. At the same I watched human rights be thrown out the window, by the people who said this. Their rage was their reason. And then I watched a lot of people get hurt. Physically mentally financially hurt. And in the same breath while it was all happening I was reminded that this is because of human Rights, race, religion.
I will sit back and I will watch the circus. I will not give an opinion out for the public courts the verdict on.
At the same time I will not sit back and be attacked for my opinion or my belief system. I was born in the greatest country created. And I truly believe that. When I initially came into inception it may not have been looked at as that but it certainly has become that.
I have no stomach for anybody who disagrees with me on that much. Because this nation that we live in allows you the opportunity to disagree and for that reason alone you can only love and respect it.
Let's wait and see what happens next I'm sure it will be something that will be recorded incorrectly in the history books.

UNH researchers land roles in NASA 2024 mission
Researchers will study particles from edges of interstellar space
Researchers and engineers from the University of New Hampshire's Space Science Center have been selected to be a part of a science mission by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to sample, analyze, and map particles streaming to Earth from the edges of interstellar space.
The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe mission, which is planned to launch in 2024, will help researchers around the world better understand the boundary of the heliosphere, a bubble surrounding and protecting our solar system. The heliosphere's protection from radiation strongly affects life on Earth. Within the helisophere, the solar wind (particles from constantly flowing from the sun) collides with material from the rest of the galaxy. This collision sets up plasma boundaries in space that limit the amount of harmful cosmic radiation entering the heliosphere. IMAP will collect and analyze particles that are used to map the heliosphere's boundaries.
"IMAP will make the next generation of measurements to improve our understanding of the global heliosphere, space weather, and particle acceleration," said Nathan Schwadron, professor of physics and one of the deputy principal investigators overseeing the mission. "Our journey continues to discover and understand how the sun controls the boundaries of our solar system and how it regulates the space environment where we send astronauts. We will take the next leap in mapping our global heliosphere, which regulates the entry of galactic cosmic rays into our solar system. These galactic cosmic rays cause radiation exposure that poses risks for humans in space, can damage space instruments, adversely affect our satellites, and even influence the Earth's atmosphere."
The IMAP mission will carry 10 science instruments including the IMAP-Lo instrument which is designed and will be built, in part, by a team of engineers and researchers at UNH. The IMAP-Lo instrument will provide imaging of the heliosphere and track the flow of interstellar neutral atoms.
UNH regularly partners with NASA and other research institutions including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health, receiving more than $100 million in competitive external funding every year to further explore and define the frontiers of land, sea and space.
"This mission continues to shine a light on the strength of UNH's space program and its scientists, some of the leading researchers in the field," said Harlan Spence, director of the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS) and IMAP co-Investigator. "This project comes on the heels of UNH's successful roles in NASA's MMS and Van Allen Probes missions and is a great testament to UNH's expertise. IMAP represents an outstanding opportunity for scientific discovery for UNH researchers and students."
UNH will also take the lead on the student-based portion of the mission that will give students of diverse backgrounds hands-on experience to design and build a CubeSat, a type of miniaturized satellite for space research, and scientific instruments to study the origin of energy particles in the innermost magnetosphere, a region surrounding the Earth in which charged particles are manipulated or affected by the magnetic field. One of the core objectives of the student project is to target underrepresented populations in STEM, partnering with core institutions like Howard University, Society of Women Engineers, Society of Black Engineers, University of Colorado and Washington, D.C.-area public high schools.

Filled with creamy egg yolks, smoky bacon crumbles, and zesty horseradish, these Bacon Deviled Eggs are a fantastic appetizer for game day, New Year's Eve, or any occasion that calls for a snack with a little extra "oomph".

Bacon and Eggs. They belong together like bread and butter. Peanut butter and jelly. Strawberries and cream. Steak and béarnaise! I could go on and on.
For a lightly spicy and smoky twist on the classic appetizer, these Bacon Deviled Eggs have become a fast favorite among my family and friends. A touch of horseradish in the filling adds a little "zip" to the bite, and snipped chives bring a fresh, mild onion flavor.
These are deviled eggs to devour.
Bacon Deviled Egg Filling
As in my recipe for Classic Deviled Eggs, I start this filling with a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream, with a touch of mustard. I kept the Dijon in the recipe for its acidity, but reduced the quantity to introduce the heat of the horseradish (more on that below).
A nice hickory or applewood smoked bacon is perfect for this deviled egg filling. I cook the bacon crisp in the oven, let it cool, and then cut it into a fairly fine crumble. We find that smaller, more uniform bits of crispy bacon are more pleasant than larger pieces when mixed into the creamy egg yolk base.
I always like to make an extra strip of bacon to crumble over the tops of the filled eggs for garnish. More bacon is never a bad idea in my book!
Adding Horseradish to Deviled Eggs
I like to use cream-style horseradish in this recipe, as opposed to fresh or the refrigerated prepared versions. My reasoning for this is that a.) cream-style horseradish tends to be a bit smoother in texture than prepared, and b.) prepared horseradish needs resting time in a recipe to fully develop its flavor and heat.
While you can make the filling for these deviled eggs ahead of time, I don't want to have to. Deviled eggs are the kind of recipe that I like to be able to whip up with short notice.
Cream-style horseradish (my favorite brand is Inglehoffer; I buy it online or in the regular grocery store) is made from grated horseradish root and mixed into a creamy base. The horseradish's spicy qualities are evident as soon as you taste it.
Since this style of horseradish can vary significantly across brands, taste the one you're using and add it conservatively, to taste, until you reach your desired heat level. Spicy horseradish can have a sinus-clearing quality, so I don't like to to bombard my guests with a heavy hand.
Can This Recipe Be Made in Advance?
Yes and No. You can boil the eggs up to a week in advance, if you want to get a jump start before a party.
We like bacon deviled eggs best when we serve them pretty close to making the filling. The bacon will lose some of its crispiness and the chives wilt as they sit. The longest I've held them in the refrigerator successfully is 6-8 hours. After that, they've become a little lackluster.
So, making them earlier in the day? Sure. Just hold the garnishes on top for right before you serve them. Prepping a day or two before? For the best flavors and textures, I don't recommend it with this particular recipe.

📖 Recipe
Bacon Deviled Eggs with Horseradish
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (I use Maille or Fallot)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons cream style horseradish (or more or less, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons crisp bacon , finely crumbled (plus additional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives (plus additional for garnish)
- kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
- Place eggs in a heavy-bottomed pot and cover with cool water by 1 to 2 inches. Vent lid and bring just to a boil. Cover pot completely, lower heat, and simmer for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let stand for 10 minutes before peeling under cool running water. Slice eggs in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop out egg yolks and add to a bowl. Whisk together with mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and cream-style horseradish until smooth (or use a hand mixer for a very smooth base). Stir in bacon and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding additional horseradish if you prefer a spicier filling.
- Fill each egg with some of the yolk mixture and garnish with additional bacon and chives.

DFA Passport Philippines
Your guide & tips to online passport application and processing in DFA Philippines.
How much is DFA Passport Fee and How Many Days is Processing and Claim of Passport?
In many comments regarding passport processing and application in different branches of the DFA we have listed here, two of the most or frequently asked questions is how much is the passport fee and the second is, how long does it take to process and complete application until the release of the document or claim of the passport itself.
The same reason why we decided to put up this post so that there is and will always be a guide for passport applicants regarding this matter. We will be short to be exact so as to provide good juicy information regarding fees, charges, processing time and possible changes and updates to latest cost of a Philippine passport.We promise to update this page as soon as there are new charges or fees as updated by the Department of Foreign Affairs office. With this, we ask all to remain vigilant for updates and that we want to let you know that accuracy of the rates and charges are not always exact and precise. It is still and is always best to call the call center or DFA customer service hotline to ask prior to reporting to apply from an online reservation system ticket.
Passport Fees and How Many Working Days to ProcessThe cost of processing (ePassport) or electronic passport is only Php 950.00 for regular system. It also takes 20 working days to process an epassport but if you opt in for overtime processing, it is much faster this way.
As i've mentioned above, to expedite processing of a passport application is possible but you will have to pay the fee / charge of Php 1,200.00 instead of the regular processing rate of Php 950.00.
It will takes 10 working days for this type of system for a passport to finish the processing. You can call the DFA hotline numbers for inquiries on online appointment system, rates, fees and charges at 737-1000 or you can call using the information / contact details / telephone numbers below.

Introduction: Download, Edit and Print Your Own Parts From McMaster-Carr
McMaster Carr is an amazing resource. It's well laid out, informative, comprehensive..but even better, they provide free 3D models for most of their parts. Not all, but many.
If you have access to a 3D printer, you can print these parts yourself. Pretty cool, eh?
Step 1: Find Your Parts
First, point your browser to...
See? Easy peasy. Just clickity click. Not all parts on McMaster have 3D models for download. For this example, I'm going to be looking for sprockets. I've navigated to the part I want, and clicked on the part number. A little box pops up with some information.
More importantly, this particular part has the little symbol next to it that denotes a 3D model is available. I've highlighted it with an arrow in the picture.
Step 2: Download the File
After you click the product detail icon, this is the page you come to. I want a STEP file, as I'll be going into Fusion360.
If you're a user of CAD software that takes any of the files shown, congrats! You can now take those files and use them for modeling or 3d printing. Me, I'm continuing on to Tinkercad, to edit the part a little and to 3D print.
To do that I need to convert STEP into STLs.
Step 3: Convert File to STL in Fusion360
Once you've downloaded your file, open up Fusion360 and click 'upload'.
When the upload is completed, open it. You can only export single bodies (solid shapes) so you have to either delete the ones you don't want, or download them one by one. In the navigator menu click on 'bodies'. In the tree that shows up select the bodies you want, either to delete or download.
In this case the sprocket came with a set screw in the model, which I removed.
In the menu that pops up, click refinement as 'high'. Do not change any of the measurement settings.
Step 4: Upload to Tinkercad
Head over to Tinkercad.com and open up a new project. On the right hand side you'll see an option for 'upload file'. Navigate to your STL and upload it, again without changing any size parameters.
Here is the file for this sprocket, uploaded to TinkerCad:
Step 5: Tinker!
If you need to, edit the model. For example I might want a different shaft diameter; but since I uploaded this as a solid body I'll have to do a little workaround. First filled the shaft bore that was there, and grouped the two shapes. Then I made a cylinder of the shaft size I wanted, made it a hole, centered it on the model, and grouped them.
In this step you could add multiple STLs if you wanted a complex part, say, where gears were interacting. The beauty of 3d printing is that you can both make multiple iterations of custom parts, that would normally take a lot of time and money otherwise.
You could even do specialized shape shaft drive- like a hex!
Step 6: 3D Print
I've printed the sprocket on an objet connex 500. The one on the left is the part as ordered from master, the one in the right is my printed part.
You can use this technique for all sorts of parts; and many on master will print just fine on a lower resolution/extrusion 3d printer like a makerbot. Kings like motor mounts, pillow blocks, chain tensioners, specialized brackets, pulleys- will all print well on an extrusion printer.
I encourage modification as well! Once you're 3d printing you can add decorative elements, or even combine parts!
Another thing you can do is use the product file as a subtraction/hole. For example, you can download the file for a press fit bearing, convert to 'hole' in TinkerCad, and subtract if from a base to make a perfect press fit. You can use that to create perfect recesses for bolts and fasteners, as well.
There are some more in depth techniques I'll post about in later instructables, but for now, go out and grab some parts!
Another website that offers CAD files is SDP (standard drive products):

With college football's opening game about a week away, fans across the country prepare for their teams' season. With that, news of power players and opponents continues to come up, so for the first week, how will these players compare when their teams battle it out in Week 1?
Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield vs. Houston's Greg Ward Jr.
While this game overall is likely to be interesting, the battle between two experienced, dominating quarterbacks makes it a bit more exciting.
Mayfield, a quarterback difficult to defend, threw for 3,700 yards and 36 touchdowns as well as ran for 405 yards and seven touchdowns. He has impressed many with his ability to improvise and work with Oklahoma's "Air Raid" offense.However, Ward Jr. is creeping up as another big name in college football, and he seems to be a perfect fit for Houston's system. He remains an explosive runner with a great arm, leading the Cougars to a 13-1 record last year, in which he threw for 2,828 yards, 17 touchdowns and ran for 1,108 yards and 21 touchdowns. He looks to be the reason Houston is a feared opponent in 2016, but this game will answer fans' questions about if Ward Jr. has the skills necessary to take the Cougars to a national championship.
Both quarterbacks are fairly matched; it should be exciting to watch the clash between the two.
Running Back
LSU's Leonard Fournette vs. Wisconsin's Corey Clement
The hype around Fournette is overwhelming, but him coming into this game off a sprained ankle makes these two running backs have a little in common.
Clement just couldn't stay healthy last year. However, he seems to be ready for this year, and he looks to be a real force on Wisconsin's offense. He has rushed for over 1,500 yards and 21 touchdowns in his career, so if he is truly ready for this game, he may be able to keep up with Fournette.
Excited to get back to camp and work towards a great season with my boys man !— Corey Clement (@CoreyClement_6) July 31, 2016
However, Fournette, if he is healthy, has only had one bad game in his career at LSU. Otherwise, he dominated the field. Last year, he was just short of breaking 2,000 yards, so he is not a running back that Wisconsin's defense can ignore.
Wide Receiver
USC's JuJu Smith-Schuster vs. Alabama's Calvin Ridley
Both of these players haven't quite received the recognition they deserve for their talents. Each could easily be considered the best wide receiver in college football.
Smith-Schuster comes off a season where he finished with 89 catches, 10 touchdowns and over 1,400 yards. However, he plays with a team of little experience this year, so while he should be making a big impact on college football this year, he might have difficulty getting to where he needs to be to compare to Ridley. However, the new talent could surprise football fans, and he could easily pass Ridley up in this opening game.
Ridley, with a matching 89 catches overall, looks to step up this year and maintain his role as a great target for Alabama's quarterback this year. In fact, 2016 may be the best year for Alabama's passing game to date.

Defensive End
Ole Miss's Marquis Haynes vs. Florida State's DeMarcus Walker
Often an underrated position, many believe that defensive ends can make or break a game, and these two are both sure to majorly impact this season opener.
Built more like a linebacker, Haynes size doesn't slow him down, which fans can see in the numbers since he totaled over 17 sacks. Ole Miss calls him a superior athlete and a dynamic pass rusher. Paired with the rest of Ole Miss's experienced defense, he will be difficult to top.

However, Walker had over 10 sacks last year and established his single-season career highs with 58 tackles and four forced fumbles. He has continued to improve with each year he returns to the Seminoles, and this year should be no different.
Offensive Tackle
Georgia's Greg Pyke vs. North Carolina's Jon Heck
Another position that is often forgotten lies on the offensive line. Without these players, quarterbacks and running backs alike would have difficulty completing their jobs. However, in this match up these teams have some key players that most likely will affect the overall outcome of the game.
After a bumpy year last year, Pyke is coming back to prove to fans the talent he possesses. This year, he helps lead the way for what could be a dominate rushing year for Georgia, and fans could be seeing him emerge as an all-conference player.
When you hear there's only 26 days to kickoff...#DawgCamp16 #CommitToTheG pic.twitter.com/N8K1dy0reZ— Georgia Football (@FootballUGA) August 8, 2016
Heck helped lead North Carolina to top the nation in yards per play with consistent blocking by the offensive line. He is constant in his task and good at what he does. If he keeps this up, he could be called one of the best offensive linemen of 2016.

G Major + Arpeggio
How to quickly understand the Crabbers scale manual.
The top line represents the letter names of the scale. Underneath the letters are the numbers which represent the fingers.
The comma is the instruction to change string. Example 3,0. Please note if there is no comma do not change string.
(You will need to change position on the same string before arriving at a comma.)
The arrow () represents the descending section of the scale.
Three octave scales are in compound time (triplets) so the pulse will fall on the & signs.
For efficient practise you can begin anywhere in the scale on either a or .This will give the correct pulse, with the correct bowing and with the correct finger. It is advisable to cover all position changes in this way.
Immediate improvement with aural and coordination capabilities will be experienced.
It really couldn't be easier.
Please click on the violin book pages where there is additional practise information for three octave scales.
C Harmonic Minor Split Thirds & Thirds
Split thirds are the only single note scales that occasionally require a change of string simultaneously. The first line (ascending) 3,1,4 (G,B,Ab) is a typical example. These scales are in simple time so the pulse falls after every four notes. Movement only from the wrist (right) when changing strings simultaneously.
Thirds are the most important double stops to acquire an advanced technique, as they improve balance and strengthen the left hand. Example..
To improve coordination practise 4 bow strokes on each note, then two, then one. MAKE SURE THAT THE BOW STROKE REMAINS AT THE SAME SPEED. It is important not to start too fast as the scale doubles in tempo with every change. Bow either middle or middle to upper half of the bow to begin with.
When changing position slowly or quickly it is helpful to remember that the left hand moves after each pair of notes. 31 42.
This process is repeated with a pause before changing position. Fingers and thumb must always remain loose and relaxed.
Please go to viola book for additional information on how to practise 3rds.
F Major & Melodic Minor Sixths
For pure intonation it is crucial that the hand is relaxed and that a smooth change of position is achieved. Using the same fingers for adjacent chords will give a seamless legato feel to the scale.
This is especially noticeable when using slurred bowing.
Alternative fingerings are given in smaller print.
Practice techniques are the same for thirds and octaves.
Please see the various pages in all three books to enhance the practice of double stop scales.
Crabbers Alternative Scale Manual
The Crabbers Scale Manual has been designed as an alternative system of learning scales using letters and numbers.
Scales presented with this system will offer another dimension for study and may be more readily assimilated through finger patterns and aural perception.
This system encourages the student to:
- Memorise finger patterns.
- Focus on the difficult areas of each scale more efficiently.
- Improve accuracy of intonation.
- Improve co-ordination.
- Increase tone production.

The Great Barrier Reef Is Doing Great; People Should Know
by Dr. Peter Ridd – August 11, 2022 Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is, well, great. But the popular media won't report this good news, so I will. The GBR is made up of approximately 3,000 reefs covering an area nearly the size of California off Australia's eastern coast. The condition of its coral is… Continue Reading

Kostense, P.J. Jager, A. Dekker, J.M. Nijpels, G. Heine, R.J. Bouter, L.M. Stehouwer, C.D.A. TNO Preventie en Gezondheid Publication year 2000 Abstract Background: Hyperhomocysteinaemia may constitute an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but it is still unclear by which pathophysiological mechanisms homocysteine (tHcy) may promote atherothrombosis. The aim of this study was firstly to examine whether tHcy is associated with endothelial dysfunction, increased adherence of leukocytes, and/or chronic low-grade inflammation, as estimated from plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (vWf), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) and C-reactive protein (CRP), respectively. Secondly we investigated whether the presence of type 2 diabetes modifies these associations. Materials and Methods: Six hundred and ten subjects of a general population of middle-aged and elderly subjects, 170 of whom had type 2 diabetes, participated in this cross-sectional study. Linear regression analyses were used to study whether tHcy was associated with vWf, sVCAM-1 and CRP, and whether the presence of diabetes modified these associations. Results: After adjustment for confounders, tHcy was significantly but weakly associated with vWf (β=0·15, P=0·05) and sVCAM-1 (β=0·082, P=0·04). tHcy was not significantly associated with CRP (β=0·02, P=0·91). The presence of diabetes did not significantly modify these associations. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that tHcy is, at most, weakly associated with endothelial dysfunction as estimated from plasma vWf, and with leukocyte adhesion as estimated from plasma sVCAM-1. tHcy was not significantly associated with chronic low-grade inflammation as estimated from plasma CRP. Our data thus suggest that the link between tHcy and atherothrombosis cannot be explained by associations of tHcy with vWf, sVCAM-1 or CRP.

I love the snark and the horrific consequences of just what the thing fulfilling the texter's wishes is doing and/or is capable of. It's a real fun test log-based skip just like grandma used to make, and the flavour is perfect for what it's trying to do.
I love how the "Tell me who you are" requests returns F, U, C and they just skip to a different test XD
+1 for weird stuff.
This is the skip I'm going to point to when someone says "What do you mean, tell a story."
It's the little details that really cinch this up in my opinion. The realistic testing methodology (realistic-ish at least). Consistency with naming, and locations. This is really well done, Scanny.
Easy +1
Weird, fun and engrossing! It's been a long time since I've actually read a test log and wondered what was coming next. A solid upvote from me.

Vertebrate animals are all those that have a skull, tail, and a spine or vertebral column that divides their body into two equal parts. Its skeleton is internal and can be bony or cartilaginous.
Some 60 thousand species belong to the group of vertebrates, including extinct species.
Regarding its taxonomic category, this type of animal belongs to the subphylum Vertebrata, one of the three groups of the phylum Chordata (chordates). During some period of their life cycle, these animals possess a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and tail.
Origin of vertebrate animals
It is estimated that vertebrates appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian period, about 530 million years ago. Specifically during a period called the Cambrian explosion. This period is characterized by the sudden appearance of complex multicellular organisms.
Findings from older vertebrates, such as Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia, suggest that they are a group of animals that originated in freshwater. However, later they adapted to other types of environments. These adaptations enabled them to have a presence not only in water, but also on land and in the air.
Types of vertebrates
According to conventional classification vertebrates grouped into seven classes:
- Agnatha (jawless fishes)
- Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes)
- Osteichthyes (bony fishes)
- Amphibia (amphibians)
- Reptilia (reptiles)
- Aves (birds)
- Mammalia (mammals)
However, vertebrates can also be classified into 4 large groups:
1. Osteichthyes (bony vertebrates)
To this group belong all the fish that have a bony internal skeleton, that is, made of bones. Although they may have cartilaginous structures, these constitute a small part. They generally have a terminal mouth with articulated dermal bones, from where the teeth emerge. Once they lose their teeth, they cannot replace them.
The giant grouper and the scorpion fish are two examples of osteichthyes fish.
2. Gnathostomata (vertebrates with jaws)
These are vertebrate fish with cartilaginous internal skeleton, for the most part. Their teeth are not fused with the jaw, and they are able to replace them as they wear out.
Chimaeras, rays (Batoidea), giant oceanic manta ray, and sharks belong to this group.
3. Agnatha or Cephalaspidomorphi (lampreys and other jaw less fish)
This is a type of vertebrate fish that lacks a jaw. They look like eels and cannot process food in the same way as jawed fish. This is why they are hematophagous (they feed on blood) or necrophages (they feed on corpses).
Lampreys and hagfish are representatives of agnatha vertebrates.
4. Tetrapoda (four-limbed vertebrates)
Mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians belong to this group.
They are characterized by the presence of hair, hands, feet or legs. They also have a jaw with dental bone and mammary glands.
The lion, the dolphin, the horse, the dog and the human being are some examples of mammalian vertebrates.
They are vertebrates characterized by the presence of feathers. They are supported by their hind limbs, while the forelimbs evolved into wings. However, not all species of birds are capable of flight.
The eagle, the parrot, the hummingbird, the hawk and the pelican are some well-known birds.
This type of vertebrate animal is characterized by significant muscular development of its limbs, which allows them to move through jumps or swimming.
The toad, the salamander and the newt are vertebrates of the amphibian group.
They have a resistant skin, covered by keratin scales. Their limbs are very short or nonexistent (as in snakes), so they have to crawl around. They are also capable of laying shell eggs.
The turtle, the iguana and the crocodile are some of the best known reptiles.
Types of vertebrate animals according to their body temperature
Vertebrates can also be classified according to their ability to regulate internal temperature.
Endothermic vertebrates
Also known as warm-blooded vertebrates, they are those capable of maintaining a constant temperature regardless of external factors. In general, their temperature range is between 34ºC and 38ºC. Mammals and birds are in this group.
Ectothermic vertebrates
Also called cold-blooded vertebrates, they are all those animals that can regulate their body temperature based on the external temperature. Reptiles, amphibians, and fish belong to this group.

It has been a busy holiday season for landmarks in the Chicago area, but that is not surprising.
If you want to spring a landmark surprise/demolition gambit like the Berghoff, it is best to do it over the holidays when fewer people are paying attention.
Fires are also more likely to happen in winter, even a ridiculously mild one, although the big fires lately were avoidable – the reports today on the bargain-basement roofers who ran away from the fire that destroyed Pilgrim Baptist Church are maddening.
Blair Kamin's article calling for the restoration of Pilgrim Baptist (reconstruction really) on Sunday was also welcome and echoed what I said two blogs ago. We are going to get our students together once school starts next week to discuss this.
Then there was the sloppy arson fire at the Frank Lloyd Wright Wynant House in Gary last week. Do you recall that one of our SAIC historic preservation students discovered that house back in 1996? Chris Meyers – he apparently went over after the fire and even the soggy lawn was scorched. Can you say accelerant?
There was also a fire at the Bradley House in Kankakee – what many consider Frank Lloyd Wright's first Prairie House. Not life-threatening, but still of great concern.
Fires often happen when buildings are being rehabbed. Wright's Hills-DeCaro House in Oak Park, 1976, Adler & Sullivan's Brunswick factory in Chicago, 1989. One reason can be like Pilgrim Baptist, where undertrained workers are careless with torches. It is also common on home rehabilitations when people use things like heat guns to remove paint. One of those destroyed the 1835 Fiddyment House in Lockport back in 2000. Something underneath catches fire, invisibly.
The trick is that heat sources don't need to actually catch things on fire – they can heat up a surface or some old newspaper in the wall crevices and next thing you know an invisible fire has found an internal chimney and is ready to blaze fast, like the buildings during the Great Fire of 1871 that caught at once all over, like a piece of paper held near a flame….

When you're done setting fire to things tomorrow, and all family-members are back to huddling behind their screens (phone, laptop, tv) or books, consider digging into these 4 patriotic tropes. Caveta lector: TVtropes* can suck you in and you won't be seen for hours. (If your family events run towards contentious, this may be a benefit.) Below are some Independence Day relevant tropes:
*TVtropes is a fairly-open wiki, where community members contribute tropes and examples of them. The assumption of the site is that entertainment consumers have in their heads hundreds of tropes which enrich the material they view when that material's creators reference one of those tropes. For example, in the most recent Sherlock Holmes, when Holmes seems unwilling to let Watson get married, he is exhibiting Friend Versus Lover, which viewers will recognize as funny.

Summary: The Pew Research Institute recently came out with an extensive study polling religious beliefs in America. America seems to be becoming less religious, especially millennials.
After a long day at work, it can be tempting for an overworked lawyer to pray to some higher power for relief. Maybe they're asking for comfort, or more money, or even just health and happiness for the family they can feel they neglect with long work hours. But if you're not the praying type, a new study by the Pew Research Institute suggests that, especially for millennials, you're not alone.
See the following for more information:
According to Pew's 2014 Religious Landscape Study, released Tuesday, only 63% of Americans say they are sure God exists – down from 71% just 7 years earlier, in 2007. And the change is even more dramatic among young people. About half of millennials say that they are certain that God exists, as opposed to their grandparents, who believed in God at a rate of 71%.
Additionally, the percentage of adults who consider themselves even "religiously affiliated" has also gone down dramatically, from 83% in 2007 to 77% today.
The Pew Research Institute says these changes seems small, but are absolutely statistically significant, due to the relatively quick speed of the changes over the 7 years between studies and the large survey sample (35,000 people), meaning that the results are considered very reliable.
The most significant note that Pew made was that millennials are far less religious than older generations. Only about 40% of millennials say that religion is "important" in their lives. 23% of millennials identify as completely unaffiliated to any religion, as opposed to 16% in the 2007 study.
Many suggest that this change could be due to the changing demographics in the United States. Although Americans are becoming more liberal, churches have stayed more stagnant in their conservative beliefs. The divide is stark along party lines, with far more religious people in the Republican party and far more "unaffiliated" Americans voting Democrat.
So, if you're too tired on weekend mornings to go to synagogue or church, or don't say the prayers your grandparents encouraged before bedtime, or even think God is a silly fairy tale – you're not alone. In fact, especially for millennials, a significant number of Americans are in the purely secular corner.

I've owed Rob a story about my books for quite a while now. It's been so long I don't even remember what I was supposed to talk about, but I do remember that it was books.
So, I have always been a book person. Way back in school I was proud to have a library card, and I would hit the library all the time. I was a big science fiction reader, and went through what was in the 'juvenile' section quickly. Back then kids were not allowed in the 'adult' section, and I had to get special approval to check books out of there. I also started buying my own books, and have always been buying them. I had to build two walls worth of bookshelves in our Temecula house, we purchased some nice units for San Diego, and this house has lots of fancy oak built in shelving. Unfortunately B doesn't like oak, so she has plans for painting. This is what they look like now:
What you can't see is that most of the shelves are deep, and we have placed rows of books behind the front row, so you are only looking at half of what we have. The left section above is mostly cookbooks, and if you look closely you can see my Encyclopedia Britannica volumes scattered around, with their purple bindings and gold print. Yes, I bought my own set of encyclopedias way back when, I really liked having them around to look things up, but now the internets has replaced it as a source of lookingupedness. We also subscribe to a bunch of magazines, my favorite being the New Yorker. I've had a subscription to that since I was in the Navy, probably the only guy on my ship to get it. We also subscribe to the local newspaper, and I used to get the Wall Street Journal, which has about the best writing but unfortunately loves GWBush, so I cancelled for political reasons. I like the New York Times, but that sucker costs a fortune to get every day.
I also like buying and giving away books and magazines. Our kids have always gotten books for Christmas and birthdays, and I keep getting ones for E all the time. A lot of these are from suggestions you guys post, so thanks for doing that. I've been getting almost every book I see written by those internet people I read all the time, right now I'm waiting on Zoe's , which Amazon started listing but is not shipping yet. Come on Amazon, get that sucker out to us!
The above photo shows one segment of the bookcases, other similar ones are build into different sides of the tv and family rooms. There are about five other pieces similar to the one above, all filled with books. The whole wall of my office is also filled with bookcases.
Most of the ones in here deal with computers and programming. The bottom row is filled with binders, one for each customer – I print out parts of their code, but mostly database structures and the notes and requests that they send me. Whenever I get a new project I usually end up spending $150 or so on related books. Computer books now are usually around $50 to $70 each, so buying two or three can make project startup expensive. I usually also have to purchase some software program or compiler, all before I can start billing a customer. These books are used for reference, if finding an answer in one saves me three hours of wondering what's going on it's worth it.
This section has most of the older stuff.
Yes, I keep my old computer games. For those of you that are computer historians, you'll see the first version of dBase for DOS in the upper left, and the IBM DOS 1.1 manuals to the right. Down below to the left is a silver dBase II binder for a really old version running on CP/M, and some of my games, including Zork – do any of you remember Zork? I originally played it on a DEC PDP machine, I think it was about the first computer game ever written. And then we flow over to my domino case and Cootie. That's a game I really like, and am waiting for E to get older to learn, and on to Jenga and my box of Lord of the Rings audio cassettes.
The two office photos cover about 10% of the shelf space there, most are filled with language references and software boxes, but I do have a radio and some photos standing there too.
So those are my bookshelves. I don't remember what else I'm supposed to write about. The last book I read was Angels and Demons, a paperback that I took on the plane for my trip and finished just as we pulled into Phoenix airport (flight back wasn't non-stop) yesterday. I am awaiting Zoe's book on the Twat, along with some others. I have on my nightstand one of Neil Gamon's that I am about to start. The book I most remember is Sidhartha, which did calm me down a lot when I was in the Navy. I still re-read it periodically. I keep most of my books because of my poor memory, I can go back and read them again after a few years and it almost seems like a new book. When the last Harry Potter book came out I had to go back and read all of the first six before I got to it, in order to catch up on all of the characters again.
I can't hit a bookstore without spending at least $100, but that is mostly because of the cost of computer related books. I have always bought kids books, even when there were no kids around. I see that gold Caldecott medal and figure if it's good enough to get that it's good enough for me to read.
The book I am in the middle of is a computer one, Creating Your World, about Second Life, the latest computer thing that Udge has me hooked on.
So, Rob, have I covered everything?
Let me end with something for Martin. For some reason he doesn't like this song. Probably back from when they had their own TV show, The Captain and Tennille's Love.

More accurate predictions for harvesting hydrogen with iridium oxide nanoparticles(Nanowerk News) Iridium oxide (IrO2) nanoparticles are useful electrocatalysts for splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen — a clean source of hydrogen for fuel and power. However, its high cost demands that researchers find the most efficient structure for IrO2 nanoparticles for hydrogen production.
|A study conducted by a team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Argonne National Laboratory, published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A ("Towards accurate prediction of catalytic activity in IrO2 nanoclusters via first principles-based variable charge force field"), describes a new empirical interatomic potential that models the IrO2 properties important to catalytic activity at scales relevant to technology development. Also known as a force field, the interatomic potential is a set of values describing the relationship between structure and energy in a system based on its configuration in space. The team developed their new force field based on the MS-Q force field.
|Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory developed a first-principles-based, variable-charge force field that has shown to accurately predict bulk and nanoscale structural and thermodynamic properties of IrO2. Catalytic properties pertaining to the oxygen reduction reaction, which drives water-splitting for the production of hydrogen fuel, were found to depend on the coordination and charge transfer at the IrO2 nanocluster surface.

|"Before, it was not possible to optimize the shape and size of a particle, but this tool enables us to do this," said Maria Chan, assistant scientist at Argonne's Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM), a DOE Office of Science User Facility.
|Until now, researchers have relied on the quantum mechanical modeling method based on density functional teory (DFT) to investigate the electronic structure of IrO2 on the atomic scale. However, DFT is a computationally intensive method, and while it enables some calculations of electronic behavior, DFT simulations are only capable of handling a small number of atoms. DFT models cannot scale to sizes relevant to nanotechnology components, typically 1 to 5 nanometers, at which structural and long-range behavior can influence performance.
|To create a computational framework that can help engineer IrO2 structures for powerful and efficient material technologies, researchers first needed to simulate a system of realistic size. In the past, computational and materials scientists have turned to the empirical force field over DFT for larger structures. By modeling with a typical empirical force field, researchers can readily calculate a larger system but without the electronic properties modeled in DFT.
|Yet, modeling IrO2 at both an applicable size and with its electric properties is critical to predicting catalytic activity because chemical reactions are influenced on the nanoscale by structure as well as charge distribution.
|"In a lot of other catalysis problems, people have pointed out that the coordination number [atomic organization] describes atomic interaction," Chan said. "But we need to account for charge transfer as well."
|Extending the capabilities of the typical force field, the Argonne team is the first to develop a first-principles-based, variable-charge force field for the Ir-O system. As such, this method is based on foundational physics laws ("first principles") derived from DFT calculations and dynamic charge distribution, which accounts for changes in electron behavior during a catalytic reaction. To validate the force field's accuracy, the team computed structural, mechanical, surface and thermodynamic properties for diverse IrO2 phases using DFT. These DFT calculations were used with a genetic algorithm that optimizes the force field parameters to DFT values. To carry out their validation tests and force field development, the team used Argonne's Laboratory Computing Resource Center and CNM's Carbon computing cluster.
|Notably, the MS-Q force field they developed predicts oxygen binding energy at different sites — a key measure of the catalytic activity for the reaction that splits oxygen from water, as in electrocatalysis.
|"We learned that the surface structure and atomic coordination affects catalytic efficiency drastically," said Fatih Sen, postdoctoral associate and lead author.
|Specifically, their initial findings show that catalytic activity is strongest at the edges and corners of IrO2 nanocrystals due to long-range electrostatics, in addition to the local coordination of atoms (as characterized by coordination number), which has been emphasized in previous research.

Ali Abdul v The King: Muslim stories from the dark days of White Australia
Hanifa Deen explored the wonderful world of archives and found an Alladin's cave of treasures and secrets for her new book Ali Abdul v The King: Muslim stories from the dark days of White Australia. In this extract, she reveals that Muslims have been coming to Australia since the eighteenth century.
Muslim fishermen and traders first came to our shores in the eighteenth century, or even earlier, from the eastern islands of modern Indonesia. They sailed their prahus along our north and north-western coast fishing for trepang and trading for pearls and pearl shell with the Aborigines – a cross-cultural interaction that carried on for more than three centuries. Over time, the fishermen from Macassar in southern Sulawesi left behind traces of their language in the vocabularies of local tribes near Darwin and further south along the coastline.
Later, British expeditions in the nineteenth century noted another legacy in certain physical features denoting mixed descendants of the Macassans and local Aboriginal tribes. With European colonisation, the free and easy ways of the trepang trade was bound to change. The imposition of customs dues, jealousy over the trepang trade, and anti-Asian attitudes after 1901 gradually severed the old historical links.
The Indonesians and Malays came and went like the winds that assisted their canoes and trawlers. It was not until the mid nineteenth century that a new breed of Muslim was drawn to our shores – in many ways as stubborn as the camels they came to tend. Read more in this book.

What if you excel in other areas, or you simply aren't interested in traditional academic approaches? Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University first addressed this issue in the early 1980s with his theory of Multiple Intelligences. He believed that standard tests of intelligence didn't tell the whole story of a person's strengths, talents, and learning style. Read more

Team Building Guide, Part 1
Goal of a Group Working on Uniting
Question: A team is a group of people united by a single goal and mission.
People create sports teams to win games, business teams to make money, and spiritual teams to strengthen in faith. And for teams working on uniting, the goal and the means are the same. How can it be?
Answer: If we create a team whose goal is to unite, the question arises: Is unification a goal or only a means to achieve the goal?
Many relate to unification not as a goal in and of itself. For instance, when creating teams, unity is necessary to successfully perform certain tasks. Therefore, in our case, we also need to determine what the goal is.
We want to achieve unity in which feel the next level of human existence, where a special principle of similarity to an integral and unified nature is inherent in the unification.
If we reach a state of unification to strive for a single goal, ready to sacrifice our private egoistic goals, then we will rise above ourselves, above our egoism, and begin to feel the next level of nature—integral, global, and unified.
In principle, this is the purpose of our development. We create a group in order to learn how to unite, to reach a state where all members will feel as a single whole.
Question: Can one say that the goal is a good, harmonious life in family, in society? After all, it's hard for a person to understand what this new level is.
Answer: Of course, because that is more understandable and closer to everyone. That is, the goal is communication skills. If we learn how to interact correctly with others, we will have good lives.
