Have you cut the ICE Umbilical?
Have you cut the ICE Umbilical?
Well, it might be even more nuanced/encompassing than the options given.
Have an S, ordered an X. Not sure wife will take delivery on the X. Lots of range anxiety.
Have work truck must keep. No BEV replacement for it.
Replaced all 4 cycle small engine equipment (blower, trimmer, hedge trimmer etc) with electric.
Currently looking to replace lawn mower. If all happens we will have removed all gasoline products/machines from our house/lives.
So I guess I'm the same as you 2 & 3 hoping for 1.
Yes - essentially Stage 1. And it hasn't been a significant burden / inconvenience. The only bad part is the wife gets the MS and I drive the LEAF, but I'm not complaining as I drive on road trips (get more miles in).
Escape Hybrid is still with us for local skiing. Not ready to put MS in crowded resort parking lot with careless ski toters all around. I may come around to taking MS skiing as it is ski rack ready - maybe a car cover to minimize scratches / minor dings. May consider a MX once price / range are well known.
Finally, like prev poster, I'm also electric corded mower. Good quality BEMs out now that will have me ditching the cord sooner than later.
Only two tanks of fuel used for the Escape in the last 1.5yrs. Even considering renting an SUV when needed vs. keeping the Escape around taking up space and insurance coverage.
@savnro2 - Kudos
Are solar panels in your future? Or are they in your present?
I bought (not rented or leased) a solar system 4.5 years ago. SCE sends me money!
I ordered my Model X in January!
Then my ICE machine with 230,980 miles went terminal!
So I grabbed a RAV4 EV (Tesal motor & battery pack) to get me by until delivery.
Can't wait to get that improved range & other technical goodies!
We're at Stage 2: One BEV-Transitioning to more. A Leaf and a hybrid for now, but MS at Leaf lease end.
@jjs- solar panels (purchase not leased) are the next step in our transformation.
I've got 6kw of solar panels at home so other than winter I get paid for my electricity. The Model S is only just starting to roll into Australia (none where I live yet) but with traditional finance options it will be expensive (prices start at over US$100k and interest rates are around 9% with loans limited to 7 years so that's payments of over $1500 a month). I'm hoping Tesla will offer a low cost finance option here and I can get the Model X, otherwise I'll be waiting for the Model III. Either way, will keep the Toyota 4WD for adventure trips as it gets almost 1000 miles to the tank and Australia has a lot of open spaces where I won't be able to plug in.
Likely you'd get a better response on the Model S forum (as many here are waiting for the "X")!
For me - Stage 1. BEV all the way! Don't miss the ICE, and I've taken quite a few long trips (1,000 miles round trip) in my Model S60.

Mother Nature was abundantly clear when she decided that the dedication of the New Gloucester Veterans' Monument should be conducted as closely as possible to Veterans' Day. After snow and mostly wind postponed the event for a week, she provided a beautiful sunny backdrop this past Sunday for the hundreds of people who attended the ceremony.
The monument project was a joint effort between the New Gloucester Historical Society and the Lunn-Hunnewell AMVETS Post 6, not to mention literally hundreds of donors who supported the project with cash, in-kind labor and a land donation from McCann Properties LLC. Tom Blake of the Historical Society estimates that the combined donations totaled approximately $120,000.
The monument is engraved with 1,149 New Gloucester Veterans' names dating back to the Revolutionary War. To raise awareness about the monument and inspire donations, Dennis McCann set a goal to run one mile for each name engraved on the monument. He completed that goal and kicked off Sunday's dedication event as he arrived running -- to the tune of "You're a Grand Old Flag" -- while carrying an American flag.
New Gloucester Boy Scout Troop 135 and New Gloucester Cub Scout Troop 135 led the Pledge of Allegiance and Jane Lipp sang the National Anthem. The monument is located at 1029 Lewiston Road in New Gloucester.

Interview: J.A. Gaudet
Joseph Aldic Gaudet's career in Canadian film and media production has encompassed everything from industrial video production to script doctoring to lecturer. Learning his craft as a cameraman, floor director and switcher for provincial public broadcaster TVOntario in the 1970s, Joe branched out as a screenwriter for TV series including Magic Shadows, Struggle Beneath the Sea and The Littlest Hobo. But his break as a director came from infamous Emmeritus producer Lionel Shenken, who specialized in staggeringly low budget, shot-on-video movies that would air on Southern Ontario's CHCH-TV before hitting the international video circuit. Brought on to supplement Emmeritus' string of non-union directors, Joe debuted with Deadly Pursuit, a Vietnam revenge movie, and later directed his own script for the international political thriller The Hijacking of Studio 4.
Joe moved back to TV production with Don't Stop Now and Contact before his script for the film Baltic Storm was picked up. Since then, he's largely worked as an instructor for new Canadian film industry hopefuls through his course "ScreenWriting Rules," (now known as ScreenWriting123) which was developed from a series of lectures done for Hamilton's McMaster University. His history as a writer, director, editor and author is covered on his extensive website, JAldricGaudet.com.
J.A. Gaudet graciously conducted an e-mail interview with Canuxploitation.com in February, 2010.
Canuxploitation: Tell me how you first met Emmeritus head Lionel Shenken.
J.A. Gaudet: I saw an ad somewhere, probably Playback magazine, about a company that was looking for Canadian scripts. I sent my script for The Hijacking of Studio 4 and got a meeting with Lionel. He said he couldn't do my script, but he liked it enough to talk to me. He told me his roster was full, but there was enough money to do one small-budget story. He already had a script but no director. I wanted to direct, so I took it. The script, "Survival Games" (which became Deadly Pursuit after a brainstorming session), was written by Peter Ferri. Peter also had another script being shot there, Fly With the Hawk, which he appeared in. Peter agreed to let me do a major overhaul of the script for shooting.
I was not aware at the time of how frugal Lionel was so I had no idea how small a budget he meant. I couldn't use union crew or any of the normal craft talent pool. I had to find people willing to work hard for small pay and long hours. I raided Hamilton's little theatre community for production personnel and contacted a video/cameraman I had worked with on a promo for the Peel Regional Police. He was willing to work for cheap. We shot film style. I had free reign to keep people overtime without penalty or cost, and I did, often.
After Deadly Pursuit and before The Hijacking of Studio 4, I was set to direct Movie Games but there were scheduling conflicts with a TVOntario shoot I was working on.
C: By any chance, was Movie Games turned into another Emmeritus film, Death in Hollywood?
JAG: Yes, I believe it was. I met with the writer and we got along very well. The shoot was planned for Casa Loma, using the CHCH mobile and multiple cameras, but it didn't happen because Casa Loma could not be rebooked.
C: Did you meet any of the other directors working at Emmeritus at the time?
JAG: I met and talked to many of the other directors, however I don't recall much. Except for casting calls and meetings, I wasn't in the building at the same time as the others, I just saw them in passing. I usually edited after hours or prepared for shooting or editing at home. I was also an outsider, since Deadly Pursuit was sort of an extra, tacked on to the rest.
I also don't really remember too much about the other movies, although I remember being impressed by Lady Bear, the one about the spy.
C: What makes the Emmeritus films immediately identifiable is their "shot-on-video" look. These were shot on 3/4" Umatic video, is that correct?
JAG: For Deadly Pursuit, I assume it was 3/4" video, but for The Hijacking of Studio 4 the main scenes were recorded and edited on 2". We used 3/4" for the other locations.
C: Shenken claimed the budgets for his films were $375,000, part of that being Telefilm funding. Is that an accurate figure?
JAG: I have no way of knowing. I don't know the figures for The Hijacking of Studio 4, but my budget for Deadly Pursuit was $20,000, which was small, but the others were only around $30,000. But those are "above the line" figures—CHCH editing time and crew and many other services contributed to the budget. Generally, two thirds of the funding came from CHCH, and the rest from Visual Productions.
C: Supposedly, Shenken's "secret formula" for these films was that no scene was allowed to be longer than two minutes, and an action scene was required every six minutes. Were there any specific guidelines he gave you?
JAG: I don't recall Lionel ever setting parameters like that as rules, but I am very stubborn and would have balked at such arbitrary standards anyways. I'm sure those were his own parameters and those of his editors. I edited both projects myself and hopefully kept a good pace for an interested audience.
C: How did The Hijacking of Studio 4 come about?
JAG: I wrote the script while working at TVOntario's basement studio. It was small and soundproofed which made me wonder about the concussion effect a bomb would have. I realized how easy and cost effective it would be to shoot such a story, using a studio as a studio. That stirred the script into motion. As mentioned above, that was that script that got me my first meeting with Lionel.
C: Was the film actually shot at CHCH's studios ?
JAG: Our main location was CHCH's old Telecentre on King Street in Hamilton, with parts of the new building on Jackson Street serving as the exterior and some limited interiors. For the St. Kitts footage, I flew down with a singing group and a video crew who were working on another project. I was there three days to do shots for the movie using one of the girls of the group as the kidnapped daughter, then they went on to do their project and I came home to finish shooting. When we landed at St. Kitt's, our customs documents hadn't arrived yet, so the officers were surprised to find guns in our luggage!
C: What was the biggest challenges working on The Hijacking of Studio 4?
JAG: For me it was co-ordinating everyone. Most of what we shot, the "main event," so to speak, was shot with multiple cameras recording. The three studio cameras were being recorded separately, while there were other cameras shooting inside the control room at the same time. It was also a challenge to make sure all the cheats were carefully shot—for example, the Telecentre control room is on an upper level to the studio, whereas we played it as though it was on the same level out one of the doors. Another door led to the hallways and the green room, which were done after hours at the new Jackson Street studio.
I remember one day we were shooting out the back of the building, doing the TV show intro that appears in the film. It was in this backyard surrounded by high fencing and we were out there about an hour or so. After we left to take the footage to CHCH for editing, Emmeritus got a visit from two burly men from next door, who wanted to know what the camera was filming and wanting assurances that it never shot past the fence! Scary.
C: Tell me about Shenken's cameo—I don't believe he appeared in many of his movies.
JAG: We were casting and I couldn't find anyone to play the studio boss. I thought Lionel could pull it off so I asked him, and he agreed. Unfortunately, he didn't learn his lines and neither did the fellow playing opposite him! We wasted a lot of time doing their scenes and ended up with wooden performances.
C: Was it hard to make a park in Southern Ontario look like Vietnam for Deadly Pursuit ?
JAG: It was a night shoot, so the dark helps disguise it. We
looked at photos of the time and set
dressed the artillery area and the
Vietcong, and dug holes for
trenches. We had about five people
who went past camera in costume,
then circled behind and grabbed a
hat or changed their prop so they
could walk past camera again
and give the impression of a large
Vietnamese force.
Peter Ferri was doing special effects for Lionel's shows and had an explosives licence, so we got the war effects cheap. The guy who owned Canusa Park, the property we shot most of Deadly Pursuit on, also had some friends in an artillery unit who drove their artillery piece to the set as a prop. Peter rigged fire effects to simulate shooting.
I remember the gunshots got us in some trouble. They use a special blank to make flame spout from the rifle barrel, which is especially loud. We kept firing long into the night; single shots so I could record many different shooters. It went so late that the owner of the place came out to complain, and we wrapped just as the cops came to investigate the gunshots!
C: The tailing scene in Deadly Pursuit goes on forever, was this an attempt to stretch the running time?
JAG: It was only meant to imply how far out this was, so that sleeping over seemed reasonable, also to stress the tension level, but if you find it too long then it doesn't work. A lot of my ideas didn't work or were ineptly carried out. Mea Culpa.
C: Deadly Pursuit is actually pretty groundbreaking in including the perspective of the Vietnamese wife. Tell me how and why it was decided to emphasize her perspective?
JAG: I'm not sure what her status was in the original script,
but I liked her and wanted to
emphasize her story when I rewrote.
I remember hearing someone talk
about how the sound of a helicopter
in Vietnam was a scary thing and it
stuck with me, so I gave her that
What I am more proud of, as a dramatist, is turning the tables to make a hijacker sympathetic to the audience in The Hijacking of Studio 4.
C: You also do that to the killer in Deadly Pursuit—he had his whole unit killed by friendly fire, and nobody seems to care. In fact, several Emmeritus films have sympathetic antagonists. What is it about that idea that attracts you, personally?
JAG: I've always felt that characters should be three dimensional, and not simply "cut-outs" to put in place. And, as exemplified in The Hijacking of Studio 4, I like lots of characters.
C: How much improvising was there in your Emmeritus movies?
JAG: I prefer not to improvise since I have a particular story to tell. I rehearsed them a bit but expected too much from them. In hindsight, I should have been more hands on.
C: How many pro actors and how many amateurs were used in these movies?
JAG: Our access to pros were those with limited credits who would accept non-ACTRA fees and conditions. Most of those actors were after credits so they could join ACTRA. However, the part of the Vietnamese wife in Deadly Pursuit was different. She was a student from the Philippines and wanted the part, but it would disrupt her status as a visiting student. The Philippine Embassy and the Canadian Embassy agreed she could play the role if she accepted no money.
C: How were these films received by audiences?
JAG: I really don't know. In Ontario they were bicycled around in half hour weekly segments on CHCH TV. Not many people, except those connected with it, watched. However, Lionel and [his wife] Bev travelled all over the world selling the film package.
C: Do you look back on your time with Emmeritus fondly? Despite your problems, did you consider working on these films good learning experiences?
JAG: It was a wonderful experience, a valuable learning experience. I don't regret anything. However, I always look back on everything I do with a critical eye to see how I could improve the film's connection with the audience.

21 Mar The 8 Keys to a Successful HRIS Implementation
For Human Resources (HR) to be effective, it needs to be able to spend time on what matters: people. A more familiar situation, however, is one where HR spends most of its time dealing with tedious inquiries from employees – vacation requests, insurance-related issues, benefit changes, etc. HRIS
While important, addressing these granular issues distracts from the broader role that HR should play related to internal strategy and employee retention. Technology is at the core of this issue. Most companies today are using outdated systems to manage their HR processes, making simple tasks more complicated than necessary, whereas new platforms make it easy for both employees and HR to address HR-related pain points.
While Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are readily available and continue to improve over time, adoption is not yet widespread, largely because such a change seems daunting. Companies recognize the value of a comprehensive HRIS system, but they continue to use outdated platforms, workarounds, and piecemeal solutions to get the job done – albeit at the cost of efficiency and strategic decision making.
Implementing an HRIS does require a change, but it will ultimately make life easier for everyone in your organization. It will streamline processes and increase productivity, and it will also enable your employees to have greater control over their own HR-related activities.
The Key Factors for a Successful HRIS Implementation
Again, the benefits of an HRIS implementation far outweigh the reasons to continue with your current system. If the process seems overwhelming, here's what you can do to facilitate a successful transition:
1. Get executive sponsorship and leadership buy-in. Ideally, this will come from the C-suite. Sponsorship and buy-in will enable a more seamless transition, making communication and resource planning easier and setting the tone for the rest of the organization, who will be more likely to support a change that comes from the top.
2. Plan ahead. If you're thinking about an HRIS implementation, start planning now! Our clients who have experienced the most success begin the planning process early, communicating with other departments, identifying potential issues and pain points, and getting everyone excited about the benefits of a cohesive and robust HR system.
3. Implement the new software in phases. A phased implementation helps to mitigate the impact of the change and allows you to tailor the change to best fit your schedule. For instance, if Open Enrollment for health insurance is in November, you may decide to begin with that piece of the implementation to meet the deadline, while holding off on other pieces of the system that aren't as much of an immediate priority. This helps to manage the pressure on your resources and it ensures that each phase receives the attention it needs to be as successful as possible.
4. Create an implementation team. The internal members of this team should include a cohort of HR representatives, as well as a team member from each department affected by the change. External team members are likely to include an implementation representative or team from the platform you choose, available to help guide the configuration of the actual system, as well as a partner like Navigate, who can serve as a project manager and change agent.
5. Optimize the rollout. Essentially, this means that you should strategically test the implementation with key user groups to gather their feedback and make as-needed adjustments before releasing it to the greater organization. This will help to ensure greater adoption and buy-in over time.
6. Create enthusiasm and excitement. An implementation of this nature takes time. It's important to let people know what benefits they should expect once complete, and then make sure to celebrate quick wins so that your team feels valued and supported.
7. Respond to feedback and keep communication open. A robust change management plan will establish regular communication with all stakeholders to set expectations and share updates. Make sure to consider the channels you're using to reach people and ask for feedback – and make sure to use that feedback to improve the implementation.
8. Consider your team. Put yourself in their shoes. Your new platform may be amazing, but overlooking how the implementation will affect your team can make or break overall success. Help them to understand the value of the implementation but also explain the day-to-day changes it will require them to make. Have a change agent who is responsible for talking to your team and understanding and sharing their challenges and pain points. Then, be flexible! You may need to make changes to help drive adoption and get a return on your investment.
Continued use of disparate and antiquated HR systems will prevent your organization from achieving optimal performance and capitalizing on emerging trends in the industry. An HRIS implementation based on a clear vision and reasonable timeline will lead to an immediate and continued return on investment. To learn more about how your organization can get started with an HRIS implementation, from technology selection to execution, please reach out to me at [email protected] or 484.383.0606.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. � Trailing 1-0, USC Upstate unleashed a flurry of runs in the second inning by sending 10 men to the plate and scoring six runs and the 24th-ranked Spartans held on late for an 11-7 win against North Greenville Tuesday night in the final game of the regular season at Harley Park.
Upstate finishes the regular season with a 22-9 record at home this season and improves to 32-20 overall.
After North Greenville took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a RBI double by catcher Curt Marshall, the Spartans answered in a six-run second with a two-RBI double by freshman third baseman Jake Rollins, a single by junior first baseman Andrew Runion that scored two runs, a RBI single by senior shortstop John Caddell, and a run-scoring double from sophomore second baseman Eric Guillen to take a 6-1 lead.
Upstate added to the lead with a RBI single by senior catcher Bret Story and a RBI on a groundout by junior left fielder Andrew Maddox for an 8-1 lead. The Crusaders rallied with three runs in the fifth, two coming on a two-run home run by left fielder Matt Britt, and two more in the top of the seventh on a run-scoring triple by center fielder Cameron Tate and a RBI double from Marshall to cut the lead to 8-6.
The Spartans would make a response of their own in the top of the seventh inning with Caddell coming through with a double to score a run and, after North Greenville scored in the top of the eighth on a Britt RBI double, Upstate scored twice more in the bottom of the eighth on RBI singles from junior right fielder Casey Rivers and junior designated hitter Kyle Bowley for an 11-7 lead.
Every Spartan batter had a hit in the contest and Caddell was 3-for-6 with a double, triple, and two RBIs falling just a home run short of hitting for the cycle. Rivers was 3-for-5 with a RBI and Maddox finished 2-for-5 with a RBI. Senior pitcher Kevin Crane (1-1) picked up the win pitching 6 1/3 innings giving up six runs on seven hits with three strikeouts.
Britt hit for the cycle, going 4-for-5 to lead the Crusaders and

1. Terminix Uses Better Chemicals
Most consumer products and home remedies available at the store only temporarily mask the problem – or have no effect at all. Quit wasting your money on them! The treatment solutions you purchase over-the-counter or mix together yourself don't even come close to matching the strength of professional grade solutions. Leave it to the pros. The treatments that pest control companies (like Terminix) have access to are stronger, more effective, and faster acting. Besides that, all pesticides used by Terminix are eco-friendly and are as safe as possible for you and your family.

Are you sure your SQL Server accomplish all the requirements of this new Regulation? In Aleson ITC we can help you through this adaptation process.
What is the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation, is the Law on the protection of personal information which must be complied with throughout the European territory since May 25, 2018.
This regulation seeks to protect and enable the privacy rights of individuals, establishing strict restrictions on the treatment and protection of data, which directly appeal to individual rights (such as the right to access their own information or refuse to process your personal data).
The GDPR also seeks to guarantee the security of personal information regardless of where it is being stored, sent or processed. Some of the data that this new regulation wants to protect are Identificacion Number, e-mail, publications on social networks or medical information, among others.
Steps that Microsoft propose to adapt to it
Determine what personal information is being managed and where it resides, identifying which servers or databases contain personal information or which rows or columns can be marked as containing it. SQL Server has several tools to discover the data, such as the sys.columns system table, Full Text indexes, Profiler or xevents.
Supervise how this personal information can be accessed and how it is processed and used, making sure that the permissions granted to the people who access the data are the minimum necessary for the accomplishment of their mission. This point can be reached with SQL Server controlling permissions with SQL Server Authentication, masking data with Dynamic Data Masking or filtering the data that a user can see in a table with Row-Level Security.
Establish security controls to prevent, detect and react to weaknesses and breaches in data protection. This requires different methods for different types of information and scenarios. To protect the data, SQL Server has several encryption mechanisms at a physical and logical level, such as encryption of connections, Transparent Data Encryption, Always Encrypted. We can also control who is accessing to the data and when, by using SQL Server Audit.
Monitor and Report
Save audits of all operations related to the personal information handling, manage information requests and notify when a regulation breach occurs. As well as track these processes and procedures to ensure that they are kept up-to-date.
Finally, in SQL Server we can control the changes record or access to a table with System-Versioned temporal tables and also with SQL Server Audit, and report those failures through SQL Alerts and DB Mail or graphical panels in real time with Power BI.
Do you still are not complying with GDPR?
Call us at +34 962 681 242 or leave us your name and email and we will contact you .

Exceptional service and expertise will ensure success in buying the right property at the right price.
1. The very first step to take in buying real estate is to determine how much you can afford. Your deposit is one factor and your income is another. Quite often, the rental income from a suite can be added to your income. It is important to meet with a mortgage broker before you begin looking at properties. If you don't already have a mortgage broker, I would be happy to recommend an excellent broker.
2. Finding that perfect property is a process. I work closely with my buyers to determine exactly what they need and where. I am always searching for new listings that might work for my buyers. In today's hot market, buyers need to act quickly and I work hard to make sure my buyers don't miss any opportunity.
3. Once a possible property is found, I investigate:
a) the history of the property,
b) the future plans for the neighbourhood,
c) the true market value based on actual, recent sales,
d) any outstanding issues with the city,
e) zoning, bylaws, schools,
f) stratas: buying into a strata requires more research. I provide my buyers with a review of all strata documents and point out possible concerns or red flags,
g) anything else that may be important to my buyer.
Failing to fully understand everything about a property can cost a buyer dearly.
4. Once a property and appropriate price have been decided on, I prepare and negotiate a purchase contract that meets the needs of my buyer . I have extensive training in negotiations and provide exceptional service in this area to all my buyers.
5. Subject removal: I work closely with both the property inspector and mortgage broker.
6. Closing details and possession day: I am there for my buyers to make sure everything completes smoothly and the property is received as expected. My goal is to provide a full-service experience where my buyers know they can count on me for anything.
I specialize in helping buyers purchase court-ordered sales. Thousands of dollars can be saved buying these types of properties, as well as, other distress listings. For a list of distress listings that fit your specific criteria, go to Court-ordered Sales and Other Distress Sales
Looking for a home with a suite? I can provide you with current and new listings of homes with suites in your preferred neighbourhoods. Go to Homes with Suites

There is an intriguing island that can be seen in the distance from the Tuas shore. In the photo above, it's the island in the distance to the left of the green Merawang Beacon, which marks the natural shore spared from reclamation at Tuas.
This island is Pulau Merambong that lies on the Malaysian side of the border that cuts through the Straits of Johor. It's the yellow spot with a green surround on the navigation map above. While Merawang Beacon is the green bit sticking out of the straight-line coast of Tuas. Higher up is the Second Link.
There was recently an article in the New Straits Times about Pulau Merambong which shares a little about what can be found there.
Here's some extracts from Pulau Merambong: Fears of Singapore staking a claim
Satiman Jamin, New Straits Times 9 Jun 08
full article on wildsingapore news
For a small island, Pulau Merambong has three beaches - sandy, rocky and mangrove.
Although marine life is not as abundant as it used to be, the rare kilah or noble volute (Cymbiola nobilis) and some starfish can be found during low tide.
The kilah's sweet flesh and patterned shell are highly sought after.
It is said that seahorses and dugong used to thrive in the waters, but sightings of the creatures are rare nowadays.
A newly-painted lighthouse stands at the southeastern tip of the island. Malaysian and Johor flags perched on the tower are the only visible evidence of our country's sovereignty over the island.
Further inland, a Muslim graveyard dominates the small plains at a foothill.
Fisherman Mohd Khairul Anwar Abdul Rahman, 23, said decades ago, the folk of Gelang Patah would bury their dead on Merambong as the mainland's wild animals could dig up bodies from the graves.
The graveyard is unsafe for the barefooted as the flat, thorny seeds of the sepetir tree carpet the ground.
Sepetir (Sindora siamensis) is in the list of threatened species of the International Union of the Conservation of Nature in 2006.
On the hilltop, there are two more graves under a zinc-roof shed. The kettles and water containers in the shed suggest that people had stayed there before.
Behind the hilltop graves, more than five large holes are found in the wooded area, whose origins are linked to stories of people digging for treasures left by pirates.
Only the sandy and mangrove beaches are accessible from the hilltop.
The steep cliff with jagged rocks and mossy slippery boulders is a natural barrier to the rocky beach.
The rocky beach can be divided into three areas: the rocks and boulders underneath the cliff; the wide expanse of terraced ridges of jagged rocks; and an area of stones and pebbles carved by waves.
Snails, crabs and bivalves live in the cracks and in between rocks, only visible during low tides.
The sandy beach is made up of tiny granules of pulverised rocks, the result of waves pummelling the rocky beach next to it. Thus, the sand has the same reddish brown colour as the rocks.
A few metres from the lighthouse, at the edge of the sandy beach, rambong shrubs abound. It could have been the namesake of the island
Bernama 8 Jun 08;

The Malaysian government should develop the island, he said, adding that it was strategically located at the centre of shipping route to the Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Tanjung Bin power generation plant and Asia Petroleum Hub, as well as to Singapore's Tuas industrial area.

Stream Conditions in the Smokies:
I am very happy to report that the condition of the streams in the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park are about as good as anyone could hope for thanks to
the recent rain. I am not yet certain if all areas of the park got a good soaking
this past weekend, but it appears they did.
The rainfall figures for the park have not been posted for the past 24 hours as
of the time I am writing this (earlier than most everyone else rises) but what they
have posted for the day before is good news. You can click on our
link page
latter today for an update on the rainfall amounts.
If you are planning on a trip to the Smokies this fourth of July week, you should
be able to find decent water in the headwaters of many streams.
The Eastern Blue-winged Olives should be hatching in some areas as well as
the Little Eastern Blue-winged Olives or
species. The larger Eastern's
(size 16) will be sparse but you may find the little ones (size 18/20) in good
numbers. Slate drake nymph imitations should work great in any of the fast water
runs and riffles, especially if the water stays a little stained. The real "Yellow
Sallies" will be hard find but the "Little Summer Stoneflies" called "Yellow Sallies"
by many will be hatching in some areas. They will not be as prolific as you would
prefer. If you are fishing the right type of water, you may find some "LIttle Green
Stoneflies" beginning to hatch. Other than a few "Cream Cahills" here and there,
that is about all you should expect to see.
Any of the terrestrial imitations should work - grass hoppers in the grassy areas
and ants, beetles in the forest. I would stick with them unless I happen to run into
a concentrations of any of the other bugs I mentioned above. That strategy has
worked for us the last few days - before and after the rain started.

text: We attempted this hike a few months ago and the water was rushing and there was no way to cross. Lately Walnut Creek had been so low so figured this was a good time to head back to McKinney. We passed a group of 4 early in our hike, otherwise saw NO ONE after we left the falls. Found the right trails with the park map but only because I'm good with maps. Hot day and the falls were crowded though. It appeared you could park at TPWD and get in free the back way but we didn't try it. Google Maps did send us on Smith School which actually doesn't connect. $5 per person now to get in, but worth it! This hike is better than the Onion Creek hike, I would hike Homestead, Rock Shelter, then Onion Creek until it heads up the hill.

The Division of Rheumatology and Immunology has an internationally recognized multidisciplinary research program encompassing clinical, translational, and basic research. Our clinical research program provides patients opportunities to participate in disease registries and novel clinical trials, including both early studies of new therapies and large-scale trials supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or Industry. Our basic and translational research seeks to discover the mechanisms causing rheumatic diseases and turn those scientific observations into new and better treatments for patients.
Inflammation and Fibrosis Research
The Medical University of South Carolina's (MUSC) Division of Rheumatology and Immunology was recently approved for the creation of the MUSC Inflammation and Fibrosis Research Center of Economic Excellence through the Smart State SC Centers of Economic Excellence Program. This center will build upon a strong foundation of clinical and translational research in two connective tissue diseases, scleroderma and lupus, conducted by investigators in the Division of Rheumatology and Immunology. As a part of the Smart State SC Centers of Economic Excellence Program, funds raised for the center will be matched dollar for dollar.
To learn more about the MUSC Center for Inflammation and Fibrosis Research please visit our Inflammation and Fibrosis Research page. For more information about giving opportunities please visit our Department of Medicine Giving website.
Scleroderma and Raynaud Phenomenon
The Medical University of South Carolina Division of Rheumatology and Immunology has had an ongoing interest in both basic and clinical research into the causes, mechanisms, and potential treatments of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and Raynaud Phenomenon, which often accompanies systemic sclerosis. Research areas being actively pursued by the faculty include investigation of the causes of fibrosis (which causes the thickening of the skin, lungs and other organs). This research focuses on such areas as regulation of fibroblast collagen production and differentiation. Research is ongoing to understand the effects of certain proteins, such as transforming growth factor beta and caveolin-1, on collagen production. Investigations are underway to understand the intracellular signaling occurring within the fibroblasts, which lead to abnormal collagen production.
Clinical research is being performed to investigate the roles of immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil and novel agents in scleroderma lung fibrosis. The use of medications such as sildenafil, bosentan, and trepostinil for pulmonary hypertension in scleroderma is being pursued.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
The Medical University of South Carolina Lupus Erythematosus research group (also known as M.U.S.C.L.E.) is comprised of faculty and staff with interests in clinical, translational, and basic research related to lupus. Faculty in this group are Drs. Cunningham, Gilkeson, Kamen, Mitchell, Oates, Ruth, Nowling, Zollars, and Zhang. Our clinical research effort is divided into investigator initiated trials and industry sponsored treatment trials. Our investigator initiated trials are administered through the Clinical Trials Research Center and focus on mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of lupus, biomarkers of lupus and lupus nephritis disease activity, the role of Vitamin D in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), genetic and environmental risk factors for lupus biomarkers of atherosclerosis in SLE, and the role of nitric oxide in SLE. Our industry sponsored trials are designed to test a variety of therapies intended to be more targeted than current therapies for the treatment of lupus. Our basic research efforts focus on the role of reactive intermediates and sphingolipids in the pathogenesis and disease damage involved in lupus, the role of complement in lupus, the role of estrogen in dendritic cell function in lupus, and genes involved in regulation of inflammatory processes in lupus.
Please visit our faculty research pages to learn about each member's research interests. Patients interested in participating in research are invited to contact one of our study coordinators to learn more details about our research trials.
If you are interested in a clinical trial, please contact the SLE study coordinators at 843-792-8997.

Online Exclusive
Raiden Wallace, 16, from Edward M. Kennedy High School, always felt like his body "just doesn't feel right." When he hit puberty, he realized that "this isn't the body I want." So he embarked on a journey to find his true identity—inside and out.
It was a struggle for Wallace to embrace his true self. He didn't know how people would react. As he got older, he stopped caring about what people had to say. "I love myself," Wallace says proudly as a thriving, beautiful, transgender male.
There are millions of people who are part of the LGBTQ community worldwide. People who are not part of this community may be confused about the difference between gender and sexual orientation. Sexuality and gender are both important when it comes to who you are and how you live. Equally important is understanding the differences.
Gender Identity
Being transgender is about gender identity. According to the American Psychological Association, the term "transgender" is used to describe people whose gender identity is different from the sex they were given at birth.
A transgender male or female can express their gender by changing the way they dress and changing their behaviors to match their identified gender. Hormones and surgery can be an important part of the transgender journey towards self discovery. "I believe identity is a journey," said Robyn Ochs, a bisexual activist, speaker, and writer. She believes that identity is powerful and meaningful.
Sexual Orientation
According to the American Psychological Association, there are three classified sexual orientations: heterosexual (attraction to the opposite sex), gay (attraction to the same sex), and bisexual (attraction towards both sexes). This includes emotional, romantic and sexual attraction.
Difference Between The Two
People often confuse gender and sexuality. Others think they're both the same thing, but they're not. Sexuality is whom you're attracted to, and gender identity is who you are. It's better to ask and question than to assume.
We need to realize that people who belong to the LGBTQ community are just like everyone else. The Trevor Project is a national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention to young people within the LGBT community. Their studies show that the suicide attempt rate is about four times greater for LGBT and two times greater for questioning youth than that of straight youth.
"There's too much shame in the world," Ochs said. "There's too much invalidation of our experiences."
Many students experience depression because of unacceptance. When they have no one to go to, some feel hopeless and turn to self-harm or suicide. We need to do more to support each other regardless of our differences. We're all human, right? Let's all treat each other that way.

A business estate contains a food market and a cafeteria. The market employs 6 persons (2 in the storehouse, 2 in the office and 2 at the registers) and the cafeteria an additional 2. The average amount of customers per day is approximately 100 for the market and 50 for the cafeteria.
According to the current waste scheme the following types of waste are sorted:
The amounts are based on estimates supplied by the local waste management company.
The costs have been calculated for one year and the costs for emptying the waste containers and the treatment fees for the waste itself have been separated. The costs for ladfilled wastes were approximately 5000 euros, from which 650 euros were emptying fees. For cardboard the only costs were the emptying fees, 624 euros. There are no costs for paper as it is fetched free of charge.The contents of the different waste containers
The container for mixed waste normally contains not only plastics from product packages and damaged transportation platforms but expired foodstuffs as well. The public trash bins in the market and the cafeteria are emptied directly in the mixed waste containers. The waste from the cafeteria kitchen is primarily plastic –and bio-waste, but it is not sorted. Let us assume that one third of the waste produced at the estate is bio-waste, one third energy waste and the rest mixed waste.
The local legislation is about to change, making the sorting of bio-waste mandatory. Design a system for the sorting of bio-waste and increase the efficiency of the existing waste management system so that sorting the bio-waste does not increase the overall waste management costs of the entire estate. The price for the treatment of bio-waste is 58 €/ton. The waste management company charges the same amount for emptying the waste containers regardless of size.

A gas tank is a gas tank, right? Well basically, yes. But there are times when you need a gas tank for something a little special or out of the ordinary.
Universal gas tanks are primarily used when you're building something from scratch, or even building out a kit car.
So the idea of being "universal" is more about what it is being used for rather than meaning that a universal gas tank is going to fit you new Mustang straight from the factory.
But these tanks are awesome for the hot rod builder, or the guy who wants to shred a VW Beetle to the bare bones, add a roll cage and a gas tank that is going to fit somewhere unobtrusively and most of all, be safe. I mean these things are meant to roll over and crash. So safety first.
And the universal gas tanks that are currently on the market take all of these things into consideration.
There are pretty much tanks for any build you're looking to take on. And they come in all sorts of sizes with the most common being around the 16 gallon mark.
New universal steel fuel tanks can also be used on almost any project using an electronic fuel injection engines as well. They come in galvanized steel or just about any metal you'd need like lightweight aluminum for the "pro" racer and are treated so that any fuel or fuel additives won't effect the metal.
These tanks also are usually "just the metal", meaning any sensors, caps, lines, etc… will need to be ordered and added on to the final cost of the tank build. Just something to keep in mind.
Just be sure you have a good idea of the size you need and all of the fitting sizes for the hoses as they are not always standard. Especially if you get into trucks or farming equipment.
So do you need a Universal gas tank? If you're a regular guy with a new muscle car in your garage, probably not. But if you're re-doing a nice 67 Chevelle, one of these could be well worth the money.

- A Roth IRA is much like a traditional retirement plan, but involves paying taxes now so your withdrawals aren't taxed later.
- A Roth IRA is a great option for younger people who have time on their side, or for those who may be in a higher tax bracket by retirement age.
- When opening a Roth IRA account, determine what kind of investor you want to be, who you want to invest your money, and where you want your money to go.
When it comes to retirement, building the right foundation in place is essential. For some, that foundation might be a 401(k) account with their employer. For others, retirement could be built on more than an employer-sponsored plan and include an individual retirement account ("IRA").
Retirement is a highly personal matter, so understanding each option is paramount to building a retirement plan that works for you. We've covered the pros and cons of IRAs vs. 401(k)s, now let's look deeper at how to open a Roth IRA and what might make this unique account the right choice for you.
What Is a Roth IRA?
A Roth IRA is a type of tax-advantaged individual retirement account that allows you to grow savings or investments until retirement by paying taxes at the time of contribution, and then make qualified withdrawals of your account contributions and earnings tax-free.
Like a traditional IRA, you need to know IRA withdrawal rules when using a Roth. For example, unlike a traditional IRA, you can withdraw your contributions to a Roth IRA at any time without paying income taxes or penalties.
Traditional vs. Roth IRA
When comparing a traditional IRA and Roth IRA, it's all about the tax advantages between the two. Neither is necessarily better than the other, but each one offers something unique from the other.
A traditional IRA allows contributions that tax year to be deducted from your taxable income. This means you can lower your taxable income amount by making IRA contributions. Not everyone qualifies for this deduction to income, however. The deductibility of your contributions to traditional IRAs are subject to income limits if you or your spouse is covered by a retirement plan at work.
Another downside to the traditional IRA is that your withdrawals (your contributions and earnings) from the account are taxed, even after retirement. Essentially, you're paying later for the money saved today. You also need to take minimum distributions from a traditional IRA once you hit 70 1/2 years old, so your account will slowly empty out.
Unlike a traditional IRA or 401(k), a Roth IRA doesn't give you any tax benefit at the time of contribution. So, any contributions won't help you lower your taxable income that year.
The benefits? Roth IRA contributions have higher income eligibility limits. Best of all, you won't pay any taxes when you make qualified withdrawals. You also don't have to make minimum withdrawals from your Roth account after retirement. This allows you to leave your account untouched if you want, making it a great nest egg to leave for your loved ones after you pass away.
Who Should Use a Roth IRA?
If choosing between traditional and a Roth IRA, consider the following:
Tax Brackets
With a traditional IRA you can lower your taxable income by contributing to your IRA before the end of the tax year. You then pay taxes when you retire and make qualified withdrawals. So, if you think you'll be in a lower tax bracket upon retirement, this could be a safe route. If you think you might be in a higher tax bracket when you retire, then you might want to pay the income taxes when you contribute to your Roth IRA while you're still in a lower tax bracket, since this account allows you to make qualified withdrawals upon retirement without paying taxes at the higher rate.
If you're a young working professional with years to retirement, or someone who makes more than the traditional IRA contribution limits, or perhaps you're someone who's built wealth (or planning to) by investing diligently over the years, this route could save you thousands upon retirement, assuming your tax bracket is much higher.
Whether or Not You'll Pull From Your Account
If you might need to withdraw from your retirement account prior to retirement (the IRS only allows withdrawals starting at age 59 1/2), note that your contributions to your Roth IRA can always be withdrawn without taxes or penalties. Any earnings in your Roth IRA are subject to withdrawal rules. In contrast, all funds in a traditional IRA are always taxed; penalties apply if withdrawn earlier than age 59 1/2 (with exceptions for hardship).
Lastly, if you don't plan on actually taking money out of your IRA, you can theoretically leave a larger inheritance of retirement savings to your heirs using a Roth account. This is because your account can grow for your loved ones even after you're gone, and there are no taxes due when your beneficiaries make qualified withdrawals.
Other Options
In short, your IRA preferences come down to how badly you need the tax break today, and if you think you'll be in a higher tax bracket when you retire. There are, of course, other investment account options, like a taxable investment account, that you can consider using in tandem with these tax-advantaged retirement accounts. As always, consider speaking with a financial advisor to solidify your retirement planning.
Opening a Roth IRA in 4 Steps
If you've decided to move forward with a Roth IRA, review the IRS requirements carefully, and look over your options thoroughly before choosing to go with any broker or company.
1. Check Roth IRA Eligibility
Not all people qualify for a Roth IRA. If you are married and file jointly, you can't make more than $203,000 each year. For those who file individually, your income can't exceed $137,000. The income limits are the primary criteria that can make you ineligible, so if your income falls within the guidelines, you will qualify for a Roth IRA.
If you're not eligible for a Roth IRA on account of your income, there are Roth 401(k), 403(b) or governmental 457(b) plans available. These offer the same tax benefits as a Roth IRA, but don't have the income limitations. If your employer offers matching contributions, contribute to your Roth 401(k) first prior to your Roth IRA to take advantage of that match. Note, however, that employer matching contributions will be tax-deferred funds, meaning this portion of your 401(k) will be taxed upon withdrawal.
If you have a Roth 401(k) plan and you leave your job, you can roll that account into a Roth IRA to keep growing your account.
2. Know the Contribution Limits
As is the case with tax-advantaged retirement accounts, there are contribution limits to be aware of. These limits can't be exceeded without incurring a penalty, so be mindful of them.
For a Roth IRA account, the contribution limit in 2019 is $6,000 with an additional $1,000 for employees that are age 50 and over.
3. Decide Where to Open Your Roth IRA
You have three primary routes you can take with a Roth IRA: do-it-yourself brokerage, a financial advisor, or a robo-advisor.
If you're the type that likes to learn a lot and manage tasks yourself, going through an online brokerage is likely the solution for you. This allows you to go online, build your own diversified portfolio, and choose your investments yourself. There are online fees and commissions to pay, but these fees are often less than those associated with a professional investment manager. These lower fees can make the online brokerage route attractive, especially if you're just starting out.
Traditional brokerage involves a paid financial consultant or licensed broker who can guide you through the entire investment process and create a Roth IRA portfolio that fits your goals. Investment managers can sometimes have hefty management fees of up to 2% of assets under management, but many people turn to them to help ensure they have a healthy retirement income when the time comes. This route, while sometimes costly, is ideal for those uncomfortable with the thought of building their own portfolio and want the one-on-one relationship of a financial advisor.
Lastly, there are robo-advisors. A robo-advisor uses technology to apply their investment policy to choose investments for you, taking out the guesswork. Robo-advisors often have some management fees or service fees attached as well, but they can be more affordable than a financial consultant. If you're considering a robo-advisor, be sure to read up on the top robo-advisor options ahead of time.
4. Understand Your Investment Style
Once you decide where to open your account, it's time to know how you want to invest. How your money is invested makes a huge difference. Short-term, aggressive growth in a few high-flying stocks could mean your account grows noticeably in a few years, but also that your savings can take a dive due to a collapsed market. Long-term, safe growth could mean you're left with less actual growth, but growth that doesn't keep up with inflation. Finding the mix of investments that gives you income and gains with the appropriate amount of risk — and that meet your personal goals and risk tolerance — is the key.
If you're going the DIY route, you're going to want to do some heavy homework to learn about investing to make an educated decision on where your money should go.
If you're going with a financial advisor, they'll likely ask you about your retirement goals and risk tolerance. Do you want aggressive growth? Or, are you more comfortable playing it a little safer? Your answers will help a financial advisor understand where your money should go. Consider selecting an advisor who follows the fiduciary standard, meaning the advisor is obligated legally to work in your best interest above their own.
Similarly, a robo-advisor will also ask questions about your financial goals, which will help it determine the appropriate ready-made investment portfolio for your money.
Make It Official: Open Your Roth IRA
It's time to make your Roth IRA official. Now that you've learned about the Roth IRA rules and weighed your options carefully, you can make the best decision of whether the Roth IRA is right for you. You're also ready to move forward on your own, or with a financial advisor or robo-advisor. While you want to be careful, remember that the sooner you start, the sooner your Roth IRA and other investment accounts will grow.

Water leak detection can easily be performed in a number of ways. Lots of house owners discover their water use has to do with 8,000-15,000 gallons monthly. However, if that number spikes without description, you may have a water leak. Water leaks can happen in many places including toilets, faucets, sprinkler systems and swimming pool filters. Finding a leak can be challenging and Leak Detection Fort Worth has advanced leak detection techniques that can help in the less obvious situations.
Examine the Toilet
Toilets are an usual source of leaks in homes. If you think you have a leaky toilet, put a couple of drops of food coloring into the tank. After waiting numerous minutes, examine the toilet bowl. If the food coloring appears in the bowl, you've got a dripping flapper, which can quickly be changed by a plumber. And a typical indication of a toilet that's leaking is a consistent noise of water running.
Examine Faucets
Looking for leaking faucets is not challenging for a home owner. Underneath all sinks should be inspected, consisting of bathrooms and kitchen areas. Look for damp spots, which indicate leakage. If you identify a leaking faucet, put a bowl or pan under the location to avoid damage to the surrounding area. Avoid running the faucet until a plumber has actually fixed the leak.
Examine the Exterior of Your Home
Leak detection outdoors can be harder. An usual place where leakage takes place is sprinkler heads. Often, a sprinkler head will break, triggering excessive leakage to take place while the system is on. Replacing sprinkler heads can remedy the issue and minimize water usage. Other exterior leaks can be tough to find. Nevertheless, if you presume a leak, contact us. Water Leak Detection Fort Worth is experienced in leak detection, and can assist identify and repair the concern.
Swimming Pools
Another typical source of leakage is swimming pools. Systems with automatic filters can experience a breakdown, which results in expensive leakage. Having an expert analyze the location will certainly identify if there's a concern.
Leak Detection Using Your Water Meter
If you've inspected everywhere and cannot determine a leak, there's the supreme leak detection method. Have us consult with your city water company to turn off your water, and then observe the water meter. If the water meter logs use while the water is shut off, that means you've got a leak. However, if no leakage is observed, you can be positive that your house is leak-free.
Leak and Drain Repair Fort Worth TX also uses high tech equipment that can help us spot leaks as well, which we will go into detail about here.

Where has g77 gone to?
.... or :
libg2c considered harmful
For various historical reasons,
g77 has been declared obsolete, and has been replaced by
gfortran. This page is intended to help those making the transition, and those who have been handed third-party software of considerable antiquity.
There is also a related run-time library problem: programs whose object-code intermediate files have been built with
g77 may be linked using
gcc, but will demand the library
libg2c, both at link time and at runtime.
The official GNU position is that if any Fortran-77-conformant program compiles with
g77 but fails with
gfortran, that counts as a bug in
gfortran. You may however need to add or change some compilation arguments, and possibly one or two of the link-time libraries.
Please try the following suggestions, which are presented in order of increasing ugliness, in the order given; stop with the first one which succeeds. You may be pleasantly surprised. Please see also:
Full recompilation:
If you previously used a compilation line of the form:
g77 -o foo foo.f bar.f baz.f
.... the first thing to try would be:
gfortran -o foo foo.f bar.f baz.f
Under Snow Leopard and later, this will produce a 64-bit executable. The equivalent change in a Makefile would be
# From:
# FC=g77
# .... to:
.... and say
make clean to clear out existing object-code files. Please see also the aside on Makefiles for more information.
If you've got a
Makefile full of hard-coded
g77 statements, please see the aside on
Activate fake-g77 for a quick-and-dirty way to deal with that.
Full compilation, using
gcc at link time:
Some suites mix sourcecode in Fortran and C. Even if you manage to get the names to line up properly (please see the Aside on mixing C and Fortran), getting the resultant object-code files to link together into a single executable isn't always easy, and the fine details of doing so tend to be compiler-suite-dependent. This is especially confusing to those who wish to link their C programs to a precompiled library written in Fortran, of which the standard example is
cpgplot, which is a set of C bindings for
The recommended way to Do The Right Thing when using GNU compilers is to use:
gfortran [ .... ]
.... to do the linkage. This replaces replaces the historically-venerated kludge:
cc [ .... ] -lm # BROKEN
.... which is no longer sufficiently equivalent, or something of the form:
g++ [ .... ] -lg2c # BROKEN
.... which is seen sometimes in sourcecode imported from Linux. Anybody who uses:
g++ [ .... ] -lgfortran # DEPRECATED
.... will be assumed to know what they're doing, and to be willing and able to cope with the consequences.
Background: The underlying problem is that Fortran is a larger language internally than C (libraries are a different matter). To provide some of the internal Fortran functions, Fortran compilers use extra libraries, over and above the standard C set;
libg2c, for historical reasons, while
libgfortraninstead. Were we to compile (say)
gcc, and
bar.f(or the library containing it) with
g77, and then use
gcc foo.o bar.oto do the linking, we would need to add the argument
-lg2cto the linking command, and make
libg2cavailable at run time.
So don't do that. If you compile with the Fortran compiler, use the same Fortran compiler to do the linking: it already knows which Fortran-specific libraries it needs, and will add them in without you even needing to know what they are, or where to put them in the library sequence. For example:
gcc foo.c
gfortran bar.f
gfortran -o fooprog foo.o bar.o
It's worth noting that
gfortranshare the same back-end software to do most of the compilation process, and that the manual page for
gfortrancontains only those options which it doesn't share with
gcc. Think of
gfortranas a wrapper around
gccwhich educates it about Fortran.
Full compilation, 32-bit:
If for some reason your program really does need to be 32-bit, the next thing to try would be:
gfortran -m32 -o foo32 foo.f bar.f baz.f
If this is the case, we strongly recommend you test this directly, by also doing:
gfortran -m64 -o foo64 foo.f bar.f baz.f
.... and comparing the results.
If there's any differences in the results larger than can be accounted for by rounding errors, please let us know at the usual e-mail address. This would constitute a bug somewhere-or-other, and we will need to get to the bottom of it (either to fix it once and for all, or to document the problem and its workarounds) on everybody's behalf.
32-bit compilation with g77 object code:
One of the main reasons for wishing 32-bit compilation is to use pre-existing 32-bit libraries. If that's so, and said libraries were built using
g77 (not always the case), you may need to change certain other
gfortran settings. Please note:
- From this point on, you are quite definitely into on your own head be it territory.
- The proper fix is to find versions of the offending libraries which have been, or can be, compiled using
gfortranwith the default settings (including 64-bit object code).
- In particular, the Starlink libraries under the current Astrophysics setup were built with HPC's
gfortranand/or the system
gcc, and are only being made available in 64-bit versions.
- In particular, the Starlink libraries under the current Astrophysics setup were built with HPC's
- See the section in
man gfortrandealing with the
-ff2coption for quite what that option does, and for two important caveats which explain why this option shouldn't be used.
Library dependencies:
.... However, libraries built with
g77 are likely to depend on dynamic libraries provided with
g77, an unfortunate fact which often only turns up at run time. If the above 32-bit compilation succeeds for you, but the executable complains about missing system-type libraries, try installing
g77 from Self-Service, then rerunning said executable without recompiling it.
Please note: this is the sort of kludgearound which is often advocated on the Net, which looks reasonable on the face of it, but which can easily curdle a system beyond all redemption. Such advice is more properly classified as being (in the words of HL Mencken) "simple, neat, obvious, and wrong". The wise user will instead invest the time to discover how to Do The Right Thing (in this case, finding versions of the offending libraries which have been, or can be, built with
If all else fails:
.... it may still be possible to install
g77 from OS X Self-Service, but please note:
- This is entirely unsupported, even if it is still available, and should only be used in cases of utter desperation.
- We cannot rule out the possibility that installing
g77on a system may destabilise it. The only viable fix for this sort of problem is to wipe the system partition, and reinstall the operating system from scratch.
Command-line flags:
- 64-bit, generic:
- 32-bit, generic:
- 32-bit, Apple-specific:
-arch i386
- Contraindicated [Tony Lynas-Gray, pri comm]:
The second and third are effectively equivalent. If in doubt, use the generic version: the
-arch option is only available on Apple's gcc, and on AT&T's Apple-flavoured build of
gfortran which is in use in Teaching. You only need to worry about the difference if you're building a "fat binary" (32-bit and 64-bit in the same executable), which now ought to only be necessary if you intend to run your code unchanged on Apple hardware which is no longer supported by in-warranty versions of MacOS X.
The relevant variables in Makefiles include:
- Fortran compiler:
- Fortran77 compiler, which defaults to
- Flags to Fortran compiler:
- Name of C compiler:
- Flags to C compiler:
- C preprocessor flags:
- Loader flags (for libraries etc):
Activate fake-g77:
Astrophysics only: If you've got a literal "g77" string hard-wired into more action lines than you've had hot dinners, or it's somebody else's Makefile which you can't tinker with, one quick-and-dirty way around this is to first say:
Activate fake-g77
make clean # Precautionary
at your command line: this puts a shell script called
g77 on your
$PATH, which passes its command-line arguments straight through to
gfortran. This was originally produced to help out a user in exactly this position, who was unable to change her Makefiles because she was using a source tree shared with an offsite collaborator.
Mixing C and Fortran:
Part of the reason for the transition from
g77 to
gfortran is to make mixing-in with C code simpler, and avoid (most of) the acts of cruel and unusual programming which were previously required to get the compilers' outputs to co-operate. Inevitably, the results of said acts were almost inevitably fragile and non-portable.
Please bring us examples. We're willing to put in the effort, and to then document the offending practices, together with our suggested replacements, for others to benefit from.
