Pigma Dengar has appeared frequently as a supporting antagonist in Star Fox media, due to his influence within the in-game backstories.
In Star Fox 64, Pigma will show up with the rest of his team by default at Fichina and Venom II, and may be encountered at Bolse if you took a path that did not consist of Fichina or if you did not shoot him down during the Fichina mission. Pigma will target his former wing mate Peppy, while making taunts to Fox such as "Come on, little man; shoot me!".
(If Peppy is not present during the Fichina mission, he'll chuckle to himself and state that Star Wolf will be getting a whole lot of cash for killing the Star Fox team.)
If he is present during Bolse, Pigma will attempt to taunt Fox about how his father James had screamed horrifically as he died, although if the player does not shoot down Andrew before Pigma starts taunting Fox, Andrew will cut Pigma off to deliver his line.
If the player failed to shoot down all of Star Wolf within the time limit on Fichina and Pigma is among those not shot down, Pigma while departing will taunt the Star Fox team by saying "I've got two words for you, LO-SER!"
Depending on whether he was shot down on Fichina, Bolse, or Venom after Area 6, he'll either whine about the loss of his "beautiful reward" before screaming in anguish (Fichina/Bolse), or otherwise express disbelief that he had been shot down despite piloting the Wolfen II (Venom after Area 6).

- —Official Nintendo Power Player's Guide, pg 111
Pigma plays a major role in Assault, where he first appears after the completion of Mission 2, where he flies a new spacecraft and reveals himself to have set a cunning false distress signal for Fox to follow and then plays a game of interplanetary chicken with his former team for possession of an Aparoid Core Memory.
In Mission 3, Star Fox follow his trace to an illegal hideout and begin to take control to find Pigma, but their intrusion starts a retaliation from the ruffians who denied knowing who Pigma is, and attack Star Fox. After dog-fighting with Star Wolf, Wolf reveals that Pigma's position on his team has been terminated but the newcomer Panther gives Star Fox advice to head for Fichina.
During Mission 4, Star Fox turn the climate control center back on in order to stop the blizzards and find Pigma, but they are delayed again when Pigma uses the Core Memory to infect part of the climate control center machinery with Aparoidedation, forcing them to postpone following Pigma to prevent the station from exploding. Later, Pigma falls asleep at the controls of his spacecraft and begins to slowing lose his mind to Aparoidedation.
At the end of Mission 5, the Star Fox team watch Pigma abandon his ship as he undergoes Aparoidedation and fuses with a space station to become an Aparoid mutant and the stage boss. When the station is destroyed and goes into meltdown, Fox says nothing when watching Pigma scream in pain but previously acknowledged that he had presumably already perished.

Boss Description
Serving as the boss of Mission 5 at the Meteo Asteroid Belt, Pigma is now the cybernetic combination of an abandoned hexagonal space station with Aparoid infection and a monstrous incarnation of Pigma's face in the center. He speaks to the team in plural idiosyncratic manner, referring to himself as "we" or "us" (save for a single quote he makes at the beginning of the battle: "Join me."), indicating the shattered state of his now insane mind.
This boss is very similar to the Gorgon Space Station, Andross's Ultimate Space Weapon. The creature is armed with six robotic space crane arms, each with built in claws for close combat and launching Asteroids. The claws also have retractable Missile Launchers and twin-barreled Gatling Laser Guns. He will use his grappling crane arms to throw asteroids, lash out at the player with the crane arms, spatter volleys of blaster bolts, and fire small ballistic missiles from the claws. After the player shoots off all its arms, it is able to launch guided bombs from the slots surrounding his face. His face will now be vulnerable to attack while he launches his bombs. Aparoid Pigma performs his ultimate ability when he closes the hatch around his face, gathers a giant amount of energy, opens back up the hatch, and fires a devastating lavender Disintegrator Beam from his mouth. After unleashing this powerful attack, Aparoid Pigma will be temporarily vulnerable and will not attack for a small window of time, giving the player the opportunity to greatly damage and maybe even finish him off. The boss will give HIT+10 upon defeat.
Pigma returns in Command in the form of a ghostly rubix cube, serving as a boss in Sector X and Sector Y, and he referred to this form as "Neo Pigma" at least once. He referred to himself in normal tone, suggesting he had somehow regained his former sense of self, but seemed to have some difficulty when communicating. It is revealed that Pigma wanted Star Wolf to bring Star Fox to him, and that the plan to get them there was made by Krystal. Pigma explains that he spared Star Wolf because he once found them to be good friends, showing that he is indeed capable of having some amount of loyalty. Pigma also seemed to command some Anglar forces to destroy Star Fox, but he showed up himself after they are defeated.
After Pigma's final destruction and death, one of two endings ensue (where Falco creates Star Falco and Fox and Falco retire and join the G-Zero Grand Prix). Both endings have a more pyrrhic element to them (in the former, Falco beats Pigma, but ultimately misses out on taking out the Anglar Emperor; and in the latter, Star Wolf managed to destroy the Anglar Emperor instead of the Star Fox team, which ultimately had Fox doing races alongside Falco to take their minds off the betrayal).
The battle between Pigma and Star Fox in Star Fox Command differs from his previous appearance. Pigma is built up by four rotating squares like a rubix cube, with a different colored pattern on each side. Pigma will launch missiles like before, while creating vertical laser beams to attack the chosen star fighter. By shooting the four corners to reveal the Pigma pattern, the cube will separate to reveal its weak spot core. However, when the picture is complete, Pigma will launch a laser outline of his face towards the ship. The boss will give just 1 HIT upon defeat.
Pigma's role in the 3DS release of Star Fox 64 is identical to the once he had in he N64 game.
Pigma returns in Star Fox Zero, where the in-game backstory portrays him as apparently working undercover for Andross by "volunteering" for the Star Fox team's recon mission on Venom and betrays James by firing on him, meaning he was never loyal to the Cornerian cause before he became a member of Star Wolf. He first appears in Area 3, where he was assigned to back up Caiman's starfighter group in holding off Star Fox long enough to allow the Venomian forces to retrieve the Gigarilla. Pigma will retreat after taking enough damage, despite Caiman's protests that it wasn't part of their deal as Pigma is promising Fox that the battle between them isn't over before retreating.
He later fights the Star Fox team at Sector β, alongside Andrew Oikonny and Leon Powalski, ultimately holding them off long enough for the Star Wolf leader, Wolf O'Donnell, to arrive.
If the player meets certain requirements, Pigma alongside Andrew will fight Fox in Sector alpha as an optional boss.
Pigma later reappeared at Venom within the pocket dimension that Andross was exiled to, with his Wolfen being capable of transforming into the Hunter mecha to rival the Arwing's Walker.
Pigma appears as the main antagonist of Star Fox Guard, where he owns AstroMine and plans to take over Grippy Toad's company using the combat and chaos class bots to steal Grippy's minerals for Andross to use as their advantage against the Cornerian Army. His plans were failed by Slippy Toad, Grippy Toad, the player, and with assistance from Star Fox.

Pigma was originally going to debut in Star Fox 2 before the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System release was canceled, but eventually released onto the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic. He is fought over Macbeth's orbit.
Pigma Dengar description
- "Arrogant and cruel, and possessed of a fiendish strength."
- —Official Web Manual
Pigma appeared firstly as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He has recently appeared as a trophy in the fourth title. His pose and artwork is captured from his Assault character artwork, while his trophy implies that Star Wolf was formed after he persuaded Wolf to do so, referencing the curious fact about Pigma being the source of reason behind Fox and Wolf's rivalry from Nintendo Power's Star Fox 64 guide. The Wolfen's trophy also claims that he had a hand in the design of the ship, which references when he is shot in his Wolfen II while he exclaims You can't beat me! I've got a better ship!.

Daniel Signed to Saints' Practice Squad
Quarterback Chase Daniel will not be returning to the Redskins after all; instead he has been signed to the New Orleans Saints' practice squad, according to multiple reports.
At a news conference Saturday to announce the opening 53-man roster, Vinny Cerrato, Washington's executive vice president of football operations, said the team hoped to sign Daniel to the practice squad if he cleared waivers.
But Daniel considered his options and chose not to rejoin the Redskins. I've heard there may have been some confusing signals regarding players coming from Redskins Park since Friday night. To be honest, I'm really not sure what to make of this Daniel thing because several people told me Coach Jim Zorn likes the kid, thinks he has some talent and definitely wanted him back. That's not going to happen.
Cody Glenn has been signed to Indianapolis' practice squad.

It really makes sense for Chase Daniel. It forces the Redskins hand. If Snyder/Cerrato/Zorn really want him back, they can get him back by signing Daniel away from the Saints and put him on the 53 man roster. I think it's a pretty savy move by Daniel, and obviously his agent.

Here's an puzzling thought.
I believe the redskins have a game next weekend against the Football Giants of New York.
Presumably they will be practicing defenses against the Giants offensive sets.
Who gets to pretend to be Eli Manning during practice?
Certainly not Campbell or Collins who have offensive plays to run and need to rest their arms.
And how about ARE? Well that distracts him from offensive practice.
It's this kind of attention to detail the Redskins lack that causes big problems.
I'm unclear--can practice squad players take part in practices? Would seem to be so, but I'm not sure.
If so they BETETR sign a PS QB.
If not, someone from the big squad has an unpleasant Turk visit in his future.

Can't say I blame him for leaving. When they put the guy you're supposed to be competing with on IR and they still don't give you the job, it's probably a good sign the you don't have the full confidence of the coaches. Better in that case to look for greener pastures elsewhere. I don't think it's a big loss. He size was a limitation, and I doubt he will ever be more than a backup in the NFL.

Great move by Chase. If the Skins love him so much they will have to put him on the 53, if they dont put their money where their mouth is then Chase will learn from the best short QB in the league. Smart move all the way around for Chase, and way to F that one up vinny.
Posted by: peteywheatstraw | September 6, 2009 5:56 PM | Report abuse
NO seems like a good situation for a QB. Chase is behind Mark Brunnell who will probably leave mid-season when he starts collecting social security. Great shot at being back up next year. Here? Not so clear that his sugar daddy, Zorn, will even be around to make him #2 behind -- who?

O my gosh! Who cares if Daniel went to the Saints practice squad! This was not a savvy move, what do you think his better chance is, be in an organization that has Drew Brees, or Jason Campbell? Unfortunately, JC has not stepped up and removed all doubt here, but there is no way he touches the field in New Orleans. Signing Daniel to the 53 man roster would be completely stupid. Keeping two quarterbacks was the smartest thing the team has done in a long time. Tell me how many times over the last ten years has the third string quarterback actually touched the field for any team? No more wasted roster spots!
Posted by: hoopdawg03 | September 6, 2009 6:02 PM | Report abuse
Also with the way the Skins have treated JC why would any QB want to play for the Skins if they have options at other teams.
Posted by: peteywheatstraw | September 6, 2009 6:06 PM | Report abuse
I think that Cody Glenn going to Indy is a bigger loss than Daniels. Glenn has a better chance of finding himself on the playing field of an actual NFL game sooner than Daniels. There's a pretty good chance that Daniels will NEVER make onto an actual roster.
Posted by: kaasmaster | September 6, 2009 6:15 PM | Report abuse
Like I said... savy move. If the Redskins want Daniel, they're going to have to sign him and keep him on the roster. That means he makes a pro paycheck, not a practice squad paycheck. If he stays with the Saints, he gets to practice every day with Brees and Brunell; two quarterbacks that have been successful as starters in the NFL. That's something that cannot be said about Campbell or Collins. This move makes me like Daniel even more today.

If I was told there was going to be a competition, and I threw 3 tds and my competition threw three ints...and they signed my competition, I'd leave.

Glad they kept Brennan, even if on IR. Rumors were that Dallas wanted Brennan. With his potential he would have been claimed by another team off waivers though. Good luck to Chase Daniel. He could be the next Doug Flutie.

Consider that Drew Brees is 6' and his size doesn't seem to handicap him. The coach and organization got to see Chase at NFL speed.

Posted by: pabrian2003 | September 6, 2009 8:21 PM | Report abuse
I understand the numbers game, but in my opinion, the Redskins have made a big mistake by letting Chase Daniel go.
I have followed Chase Daniel's career since high school at Southlake Carrol in TX. At every level, he has always been been the leader of the offense and one of the best at his position. And he is a WINNER, at every level.
As a QB, Chase strengths are his poise and decisiveness. These qualities are essential for a successful west coast attack. He makes good decisions and gets rid of the ball on-time. When nothing is there he remains poised. His mobility allows him to scramble to buy time for receivers or to throw the ball away. He can run for the first down as well. He is perfect for the Redskins.
We saw these qualities in his play this preseason. He ran the offense very well and did not seem overwhelmed, even with the offensive line breaking down around him (his mobility is another reason to keep him). Good QBs are hard to come by, and with experience, I could see him leading this offense. He is a diamond in the rough, even if he is not 6'5".
I can understand why Coach Zorn likes him. I just cannot understand how they let him get away.
Posted by: txfort | September 6, 2009 8:41 PM | Report abuse
Chase Daniel is so good. I can't believe we let him go. He is so good that I can't believe that every team in the league, us included, didn't draft him. Though I rave about how the Pats know how to build a team and stuff I am puzzled that they didn't try to sign Chase and instead head into the season with only 2 QBs.

Please, somebody help us! Make this gu feeling evaluator of talent go away. Can't D.S. find a real gm, or a coach that can act as coach and gm? Will Danny's ego let him hire someone like Cowher, and give him full control? If Dan really loves his Redskins, he must let go and give let his beloved team alone, get rid of Vinny and beg an Edwards or Cowher to take control of the Skins. Please Dan. We love our team, don't you?

I'm not sure if anyone else caught it, but seemed that on last drive of the game Thursday Daniel was completely ignoring Zorn on the sidelines. I wasn't surprised at all by the news.

I've said it a million times... give it up Redskin fans.... as long as Danny and Vinny are running the show - they are just fleecing your wallet, and breaking your heart. It's all about the money. Football operations are a sham - no real professionals in charge. As soon as you realize it - and show with your wallet (no tickets, jerseys etc) NOTHING will change. There was an entry earlier in the week from someone who was going to take their money and invest it where you at least FELT like the team cared - the Caps!

What this really says is ignore the media hype and feel good stories fed by the Redskin front office and the Post. This decision shows that they were not happy with either 3rd string QB.
i know folks love the underdog simply for the sake of supporting the underdog, but Chase Daniel was not the solution here in DC. he has some football savvy for sure, but he won't ever be on a starting NFL QB nor on the cover of madden.
Posted by: oknow1 | September 6, 2009 11:49 PM | Report abuse
In response to mstov, I did see him sort of not paying attention to Coach Zorn while waiting for the review of the TD pass at the end of the game that was overturned.
In response to Jason10, I thought that picking up a player the caliber of Daniel was a great pick=up. He ran the team quite efficiently and mistake-free, as he has at every level of his football life. I also know that other teams noticed his abilities and potential, as evidenced by the Saints picking him up. I think Zorn likes him, and that Redskin management thought he would clear waivers, and the SKins could sign him on their practice squad.
I think they should have protected Chase Daniel and cut someone else (there were others that would have probably cleared waivers). I don't rate QBs by height, I rate them by according to abilities, decision-making, poise, throwing accuracy, leadership, mobility, etc,... Daniel has a huge upside.

don't all of you rocket scientists that are complaining about the Daniel decision realize that his spot was basically taken by Marcus Mason? If they'd have cut MArcus Mason you'd be on here complaining about that. Chances are a 3rd string QB isn't going to contribute much.

Why is it that other teams can figure out what to do with "undersized" quarterbacks? The size of Drew Breeze hasn't seemed to hurt the Saint's offense very much.
I wasn't a huge Daniels fan but this just seems to be another indicator of Snyder & Cerrato not having any sort of long term plan. Why bring in somebody who you think is too small? What was the point?

For those dissing Daniel as too short, he was measured 6-0 at the NFL combine, which makes him as tall or taller than Sonny Jurgensen, Billy Kilmer and Joe Theisman. He rallied the Skins over the Steelers, led the team in passing TDs with soft touch and precision. The Saints watched the tape. Redskins brass drop the pass.

This is another damned if you do, damned if you don't. The team can only keep 53 players and realistically all the anger on this blog report is at the front office over the 53rd player. Come on people, Daniel? Cerrato and Snyder made a major blunder on the 53rd guy? The only reason people are upset is because a guy that the Skins signed as a un-drafted FA was claimed by another team. So someone else wanted him. Happens all the time. Had he gone through waivers and come back to our taxi-squad, everyone would have thought it was a bad move to hang on to him since no-one else wanted him. We are talking about a 3rd string QB. You can't keep everyone. You people sound like someone who is upset when someone comes to your garage sale and offers to buy some of your junk. Then all of the sudden you want to keep it because someone else wants it. Just let it go. I get the underdog thing but please, it's the last roster spot. How come nobody is whining about Cody Glenn? We spent a draft pick on that one.

Chase is constantly catching hell over his height, but he brings things to the position that are hard to come by in QBs. He is a definite leader on the field. A true field General. Remember, he didn't get hardly any snaps in practice, and still came out and moved the time. Chase really liked Coach Zorn and wanted to study under him. But not getting signed for the 3rd QB position, opened up his thinking. New Orleans is a perfect fit for him. He's going to a team that obviously cares about ability more than a tape measure. I bet he is signed to the roster and sees the field this year.

Can someone clear this up for me (because The Insider didn't make it clear)...I thought if a team claimed a player off waivers they had to add them to their 53. Which would mean that Chase did clear waivers and chose to sign with the Saints over the Skins. The article does say that Daniel chose to sign with the Saints.
If that is the case it makes total sense to me why he would. He would get a chance to emulate a QB he very much resembles in Drew Brees. A lot of the knocks on Chase (height, pass-happy offense) are the same ones they said about Brees when he came out of Purdue. He also steps into a system and coaching situation that is more stable. I'm sure VC and Zorn were hoping no one else was going to be interested in him, but clearly he showed enough talent. Oops.
But for those of you complaining about the Woodson signing, it actually makes sense since he spent all of last year (practice squad) and training camp with our first opponent. Who better was available to run the scout team this week?

Bad News — All Your Favourite '90s Cartoons Just Became Drug Addicts
Well, this is a traumatizing one. If you hold your nostalgic '90s cartoon characters dear, we suggest you avert your eyes before things get ugly.
Yup, we're sorry to report, but all your favorite animated characters, the ones whose playful misadventures carried you through elementary school and beyond, have developed serious drug problems. At least in the vivid images below.
These scarring and awesomely foul artworks come courtesy of artist Paul Ribera, whose sick and twisted mind we can't help but admire. In his visceral imaginings, the "Rugrats" gang is dropping acid, Dexter and his sister are doing meth and "The Powerpuff Girls" have molly on their tongues. An almost unrecognizable Johnny Bravo, who is snorting cocaine, takes our award for most terrifying.
Ribera explained the motivation behind his project in an email to The Huffington Post. "I grew up in the small town of Barstow, CA (or as my friends and I call it 'Bat Country')," he wrote. "My friends and I are fans of the movie 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' as well as the punkcore music scene and that stemmed my interest into the drug lifestyle. I, personally, have been interested in the effects of drugs and what it does to people and, unfortunately, in the town I live in, it's a way of life."
"These cartoons are what I (and pretty much all kids of the '90s) used to watch and I thought… 'Man, what if these people characters were from here?' I was watching old reruns one day while I was drawing and I decided to go as dark as hell with it and let the popular images the world knows turn into what I've seen on a daily basis for the past twenty years," he continued. Dark as hell, indeed; Ribera's haunting depictions will leave a pit in your stomach while somehow making it impossible to look away. One thing is for certain: They're the most convincing anti-drug images we've ever encountered.
"I want people to know what goes on in the boarded up house and how it's not all Kim & Kanye and happy stadium proposals the media tends to give off," Ribera said. "Life's struggle is real and it's in our own backyard and in this case, it's in our cartoons." See the addicted animations below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this article speculated that Dexter and DeeDee were snorting Cocaine. But our readers have pointed out that they are sitting in a meth lab and are therefore probably snorting meth. So there you go.

Victoria Pendleton bowed out of her final Track Cycling World Championships on Saturday buoyed by her epic sprint success and looking forward to a grand finale at the London Olympic Games.
The 31-year-old from Bedfordshire finished her 11th World Championships with her sixth sprint title on Friday, fourth in the team sprint alongside Jess Varnish and on Saturday she was 12th in the keirin at the Hisense Arena in Melbourne.
She is set to ride all three events on the Olympic track in August before retiring, meaning she will not be venturing to the Belarus capital of Minsk next February - in temperatures of -20C - for the 2013 World Championships.
It was the sprint semi-final win over perennial rival Anna Meares of Australia, who won the keirin, which gave Pendleton most pleasure - and belief - after she picked herself up from a heavy crash in the first match of the best-of-three contest before winning the decider by millimetres.
Pendleton said: "I didn't think it was really possible coming into competition to win the sprint - I thought I had more chance in the team sprint and the keirin to be perfectly honest - so it's been a pleasant surprise.
"She (Meares) was three tenths (of a second) faster than me in qualifying.
"Usually that would be an easy ride; you'd ride over someone without any concern or really requiring much tactics. It's quite a big gap in sprinting.
"For it to be close and for me to come through that I'm really happy with that.
"The Olympics is the big one - that's the one we're aiming for. I think it's a pretty good stepping stone."

Players warned of match fixing menace at World Cup
The head of cricket's anti-corruption unit has likened match fixers to pedophiles in the way they groom their victims.
Speaking to reporters about match fixers on Friday, ahead of next week's start of the cricket World Cup, Ronnie Flanagan said: "They'll trick them, coerce them, try and attract them, they're almost like pedophiles in how they attempt to groom people."
Flanagan said he is confident the International Cricket Council, with assistance from local law enforcement agencies, can ensure a World Cup free of corruption.
He said the ICC has handed a watch list of 100 known match-fixers or "corrupters" who are banned from entering World Cup venues to the New Zealand and Australian governments.
Players from the 14 competing nations will be reminded of their obligation to report suspicious behaviour.
All players will watch a video containing messages from Flanagan, other international players and disgraced Pakistan fast-bowler Mohammed Amir who was banned for five years for his involvement in spot fixing and warns players not to make the same mistake.
Flanagan warns players of criminals who will "do all in their power to get at players" and to lure then "into ultimately doing what suits their nefarious intentions in terms of illegal betting and other elements of criminality."
"I'm certain the players, match officials and support staff will be working very carefully in support of what we do and we'll work in partnership to ensure (match-fixers) never get their way in this tournament," he said.

Robert Chow announced a new campaign targeting students who will be on strike and/or participate in occupy movement
Remember Robert Chow? He's set up a hotline for people to report individuals who ask high schoolers to strike and/or Occupy Central. (RTHK)
— Alan Wong (@byAlanWong) September 8, 2014
Chow does not seem aware of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which Hong Kong and China are both parties and which clearly states that:
Article 15
1. States Parties recognize the rights of the child to freedom of association and to freedom of peaceful assembly.
2. No restrictions may be placed on the exercise of these rights other than those imposed in conformity with the law and which are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, public order (ordre public), the protection of public health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
Article 16
1. No child shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy, family, or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his or her honour and reputation.
2. The child has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

We live in a modern world that keeps us safe from certain threats such as fire. Unfortunately, the equipment that keeps us safe can sometimes fail. For instance, a building's fire alarm system an experience technical issues as can the sprinkler system. When this happens, fire watch officers must perform the duties of the malfunctioning equipment. You can find other ways to know if you need firewatch here. No matter what security company provides the fire watch service, all fire watch patrol officers must have the proper equipment. A few weeks ago, we had a customer in Rockville, MD who was unclear of what fire watch patrols are supossed to carry with them. Below you will find items that every fire watch should carry.
Equipment Every Firewatch Patrol Officer Must Have on Duty
Megaphone Bullhorn
This is one of the most important pieces of equipment for a fire watch patrol officer, because it allows a message to be communicated to the building occupants. It can be difficult to talk above the sound of sirens and panicked people. The bullhorn helps ensure everyone can hear the instructions. During an emergency, communicating the message is literally a matter of life or death, so every fire watch officer needs a bullhorn.
Ink Pen and Patrol Logs
Each firewatch patrol officer needs to keep detailed records of everything he or she saw during the shift. This information can potentially save lives and it also guides the officer on the next shift. It's important for the officers to communicate with each other to prevent accidents and injuries.
A Bright Flash Light
sometimes, the lights are knocked out by the same emergency that disabled the fire equipment. Fire watch officers need to find their way through the darkness to check for threats, and flashlights make this task possible.
Reflective Vest
The vest is important because it will reflect the light being cast by the other patrol officer's flashlights. Reflective vests can also prevent collisions in narrow corridors and dark buildings. The vests ensure that firewatch officers can be seen by reflecting light from flashlights in low light situations.
Cell Phones
An emergency that has disabled most of a building's utilities might also disable the phone lines. The safety officer may also need to dial 911 in an instant. The precious seconds wasted searching for a land line can be potentially disastrous.
Handheld Two-Way Radio
These radios are necessary, because they can perform even in areas where there is no cell phone reception. Two-way radios can be adjusted to different to keep different teams of officers in contact with each other.
A firewatch patrol officer without the proper equipment is like a table with no legs. It will not work in the way you need it. In addition to equipment there are other things to consider when selecting fire watch companies. When speaking with firewatch companies be sure to ask about the equipment their officers carry.

Award-winning Singaporean poet and playwright, Alfian Saat, will be in residence at CHAI (Instant Cafe House of Arts Ideas) 12-25 July.
Here's his schedule :
* INTRODUCTION TO PLAYWRITING (FOR BEGINNERS) – 13 July **
* PLAYWRITING WORKSHOP (FOR EXPERIENCED WRITERS) – 17 and 24 July**
* POETRY WORKSHOP – 20 July
* DRAMATISED READINGS – 24 July
**To register for this workshop please email firstname.lastname@example.com tell us about yourself and state why you would like to join the workshop. Successful applicants will be notified by email.**
Introduction to Playwriting
13 July | 7pm -10pm
No. of participants: 15 max
Fee: RM 45
This workshop is aimed at those who have never written a play. Participants will be introduced to the basics of playwriting, such as the structure of a play (exposition, conflict, climax, resolution), as well as how to write believable and engaging characters.
The focus of this workshop will be on recognizing the elements that make up a play, and selectively using these to create drama. Particular attention will be made on the differences between the play and other literary forms (such as poetry and prose), with the intention of sensitizing writers to how the body, space and time interact within a performance setting.
Playwriting Workshop: At Home in the World
17&24 July | 2pm-5pm
No. of participants: 15 max
Fee: RM 80
This workshop is aimed at those writers who have already penned plays, and is pitched at an intermediate level. In this workshop, participants will be led through a series of writing explorations, where they will investigate certain questions related to the craft. What kinds of audiences are we writing for? Is there a conflict between local concerns and universal relevance? Are there compromises to be made between authenticity (topical references, particular speech patterns) and intelligibility?
This workshop will examine how we can use the available materials around us—life stories, interviews, news reports, archival documents—as raw material for a play. The focus will be on writing characters and situations that are embedded within specific social, political and cultural contexts.
Poetry Workshop
20 July | 830pm-1030pm
No. of participants: 15 max
Fee: RM30
This workshop is aimed at those who would like to explore the different approaches to writing poetry. Unlike other poetry workshops, this workshop will concentrate not on beginning a poem, but on crafting one. Hence an emphasis will be placed on the process of revising and editing, paying close attention to how the selection of words and the structuring of lines affect the production of meaning.
The poet will provide samples from his own poems to demonstrate how choices are made which determine the final shape of a poem. The attempt is to demystify poetry-writing, which is above all a continuous process of meticulous redrafting, rather than the transcription of a single burst of inspiration.

Just came across this gem on youtube:
Perhaps it would be more gem-like if the picture wasn't a bit elongated, and if the Twins would have won. Vin Scully and Ray Scott calling the game.
Hey, I just saw this on the Twins.com:
There's no such thing as having too much pitching, so there still remains a chance the Twins add another arm this offseason. They've been recently monitoring former Twins ace Johan Santana, who made his debut with Navegantes del Magallanes of the Venezuelan Winter League on Tuesday. Santana is coming off a torn left Achilles' tendon suffered last June after signing with the Orioles, but he has recently been throwing in front of teams, including Minnesota.
What's the line on the Original Johan so far?
1 game, 2 innings pitched, no hits, runs, walks, or strikeouts. The Rotoworld NBC site has reports that he tossed 17 pitches in the two innings, and hit 90 mph with his fastball.
The Original Johan is on his way back.
Not Rabbit Maranville.
Today is the birthday of The Authentic Rabbitt, Joe Rabbitt, born on 16 January in 1900. A Tuesday, for those who are keeping track of these things.
Joe appeared in just two games in his major league career, what's known as "a cup of coffee." According to Wikipedia (do I ever cite anything else) Joe was one of a group of players, young prospects all, that Manager Tris Speaker sent into the game on 21 September 1922. "An opportunity for the fans to see various minor league prospects."
As Joe appeared in only two games, he apparently did not quite live up to his "prospect" status. Sad to say.
Joe played in two games, with three at bats, a run and a hit. Lifetime batting average: .333. Not bad.
You might think, oh, Joe Rabbitt, two games, three at bats, not a very good player. Well I found some old statistics from the 1927 Western League that show that Joe Rabbitt could play some ball.
Joe Rabbitt led the league in hits, runs and stolen bases. He tended the garden and averaged .361 in 155 games…In 1928 and 29 he led the International League in stolen bases with 42 and 46 while playing for Toronto.
Apparently Joe lived up to his name. He had some speed going there. Joe racked up 251 hits for the '27 Omaha Buffaloes, and 172 runs, according to Nebraska Minor League Baseball History.
Joe died in 1969; I haven't seen anything yet about his life outside of baseball. But here's to Joe Rabbitt, major league ball player, a kid with some speed and talent. Why he didn't make it in the big leagues is probably a story. The kid had all the tools, but perhaps life took an unexpected turn for him. Perhaps he hated Cleveland, or perhaps he fell in love with a gal down there in Arkansas. Perhaps he couldn't hit the curve, or maybe he had to attend to family matters and the game just passed him by. It's likely we'll never know. I wonder if he looked back at his .333 lifetime batting average and was glad that he made it up to the majors for a couple games, a hit and a run. Or was he sad that he only had those two games, those three at bats.
Happy birthday Joe Rabbitt. Good game.
Lefty Marr passed away today, back in 1912. As he was born on September 19, 1862, he was only 49 years old when he passed. (This was roughly about average for 1912, if you can imagine that. 51.5 was the average male life expectancy. Wow.)
I note Lefty's passing primarily because of his nickname. His parents did NOT name him Lefty. (Real name: Charles.) I'm not sure who did, right now. But Lefty is a classic baseball nickname. Steve Carlton was called Lefty, as I recall. Anyone since Carlton? Lefty is such a classic nickname, it's too bad it's fallen out of use.
Who get's to be called Lefty? It seems like you need to be a starting pitcher (…how many middle relievers get nicknames?) and, of course, throw the baseball with your left hand, though this might be waived if circumstances permit. Though I can't quite imagine the circumstances. It doesn't seem like you could call someone "Lefty" in an ironic way. Perhaps if the pitcher was known for his strong liberal political views? Are there any pitchers with strong liberal political views?
The Twins have few left-handed starting pitchers. Milone is a lefty, but whether he's a starting pitcher is open to question. I wonder what Phil Hughes or Mike Pelfrey (both righties) think about trade unions, national health care, women's right to choose, and taxation? Research is needed. Who is the most leftist-leaning starting pitcher on the Twins staff? How can I find out?
Former Twins pitcher Al Williams comes to mind. Here's a little quote about Al from the New York Times, 3 April 1984 (you could look it up):
"The 1981 Twins guide informs that since the Nicaraguan Government would not grant Williams a visa to leave the country to play ball in 1977, "this prompted Al to sign up with the Sandinista National Liberation Front guerrillas and he was engaged in jungle fighting against the forces of Anastasio Somoza for the next 16 months."
Al obviously loved the game of baseball.
I don't think Al Williams was ever called "Lefty" — a missed opportunity for a great classic nickname. Still, though it wouldn't be as good, the Twins could use a guy named "Lefty" in the starting rotation.
Has there ever been a pitcher known as "Righty"?
I thought, probably not… but then I look around, and find a good source (baseballreference.com) that says that pitcher Bob Miller was known as "Righty," to distinguish him from the lefthanded Bob Miller. Why? Perhaps because the two were roommates with — who else? — the 1962 Mets. "Righty" Miller went 1-12 as a starter with a 4.89 ERA. "Lefty" Miller went 2-2 in relief, with a 7.08 ERA. Well, whadda ya know.
Meanwhile, Lefty Marr pitched four seasons in the majors, 1886, '89, '90, and '91. He hit .289, playing for the Red Stockings, Colts, Reds, and Porkers. (That's the 1891 Cincinatti Porkers, to those who are not in the know.) He hit .306 and .298 in his two best seasons (.193 with the Porkers, at the end of his career) playing third base and shortstop. Funny that he was not even a pitcher, but was still called "Lefty." Perhaps I need to re-calibrate my criteria for the nickname. Perhaps more Twins are eligible?
Anywhoo. Here's to you, Lefty Marr. Good game.

Swiss Chard is a beet grown for its leaves rather than its root. First cultivated in parts of Europe and in the Mediterranean. It's appreciated for it's acid-sweet flavor and there are several varieties: red, green and rainbow (red, green, yellow stalks all on the same plant!).
Storage: Wrap unwashed in a damp towel and place in refrigerator drawer and it will keep 3-4 days stored this way. To freeze, wash, chop, and blanch for 3 minutes, until bright green. Rinse with cold water, drain, and pack into freezer bags.
Preparation: Wash chard in cold water with a bit of salt added. Chop leaves and stems (larger stems will take longer to cook). Chard is best prepared sauteed or steamed and is ready when it's wilted and tender. Chard can be substituted into any recipe that calls for spinach. *Chard will bleed its color onto other foods when cooked together.
Nutritional information: High in Vitamins A, C, and K.
Steamed Chard: 1 bunch chard, 2 garlic cloves-minced, 1 onion-diced, 2 tablespoons olive oil
Wash chard leaves well and remove discolored parts. In a pan with lid combine leaves and about 1/4 inch of water. Cover and steam until chard has wilted and remove leaves and drain water. Return pan to stove top and over medium flame heat olive oil. Add onions and cook until onions become golden. Add garlic cook 2 minutes more and add chard leaves, stir to mix. While chard is heated, serve immediately.
Swiss Chard and Dill Pilaf: 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1-1/2 cups chopped onion, 3 garlic cloves-minced, 1 cup long grain-converted white rice, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, 1 lb chard leaves washed and de-stemmed, 2-1/2 cups water or vegetable stock, 6 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup fresh dill
In a 4 quart heavy pot heat olive oil. Add onions and garlic and cook slowly until soft (about 6 minutes). Stir in rice, nutmeg, salt and pepper, mixing well. Stir in chard and water or stock. Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and the dill, mixing well. Adjust seasonings and serve.

49ers happy circumstances led them to linebacker Fred Warner
In April, when Reuben Foster was facing three felony charges, the 49ers used an early third-round draft pick on BYU inside linebacker Fred Warner.
In June, when asked if the 49ers would have selected Warner if not for Foster's legal issues, vice president of player personnel Adam Peters offered a non-response. It confirmed what appeared obvious.
"That's probably a question," Peters said, smiling, "that I don't want to answer."
Yes, Foster's uncertain future almost certainly motivated the 49ers to draft Warner. Now, as a result, the future of the 49ers at inside linebacker appears exceedingly bright for several seasons to come.
On Sunday, with Foster beginning a two-game suspension, Warner was wonderful in a 24-16 season-opening loss at Minnesota. The tally from his first NFL game: 12 tackles (11 solo and one for a loss), one forced fumble, a quarterback hit and a pass breakup while calling the defensive signals and playing all 71 snaps.
For perspective: Warner did something in his first game that was last accomplished a half-decade ago: the last 49er to record 10-plus tackles, a forced fumble and a pass-breakup in a game was All-Pro inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman on Dec. 29, 2013.
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said Warner did an "amazing job." Cornerback Richard Sherman noted Warner produced in a debut that was particularly daunting.
"Middle linebacker," Sherman said, "is one of the toughest positions to come in as a rookie and play and be effective."
Warner's impressive start has changed the perception of his selection.
In May, after Foster was cleared of two felony charges and had a weapons charge reduced to a misdemeanor, it appeared the 49ers would have been better served to use the No. 70 overall pick on another position.
But now, having both Warner, 21, and Foster, 24, fleet inside linebackers who are adept in pass coverage and run support, makes the pick appear prescient.
Particularly because inside linebacker Malcolm Smith's injury travails have enhanced Warner's value: Smith, 29, hasn't played for the 49ers since signing a front-loaded five-year deal with $13 million guaranteed in March 2017.
On Sunday, a hamstring injury caused Smith to miss his 17th straight game. On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged it will be difficult for the February 2014 Super Bowl MVP to supplant Warner when Foster makes his first post-suspension start Sept. 23 at Kansas City.
"The way (Warner) played (Sunday), it'd be hard to get that guy off of the field," Shanahan said. "He did a hell of a job in his first game. But that was (Sunday). We'll see how he does this week."
The 49ers were attracted to the 6-foot-3, 236-pounder because of his skills and intelligence. In college, he played a hybrid linebacker/safety/nickel-corner spot — BYU called it the "Flash" position — and routinely covered shifty slot receivers.
Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has said Warner, who scored an impressive 32 on the Wonderlic test (50 is perfect and has been done only once), is perhaps the smartest linebacker he's ever interviewed at the combine. On Sunday, the 49ers had Warner relay the defensive signals instead of inside linebacker Brock Boyle, a five-year veteran who handled those duties last year when playing alongside Foster.
"We saw a lot of the things — the zone drops, the athleticism, the speed — that we look for" at that position, Peters said in June. "He has those traits. And he's a really, really smart player. He's physical. He's instinctive."
Asked if Warner was a "modern-day" inside linebacker, Peters noted the position began shifting toward smaller and faster players some time ago in a league that long has been pass-happy. He noted the Jaguars, who play the same 4-3 defense as the 49ers, employ speedsters Telvin Smith (6-3, 215) and Myles Jack (6-1, 244). And their versatility makes them every-down players.
"Those guys are 4.4 guys," Peters said, referring to their 40-yard dash times. "I think running this scheme — and just playing against the athletes that you're playing against in the NFL — the days of the guys that are two-down (middle) linebackers, there's just not a lot of them anymore."
With Warner and Foster (6-1, 228), the 49ers figure to have two inside linebackers in a similar mold starting for them this season. And, yes, that is perhaps a happy accident.
In the offseason, when Foster's future with the team was uncertain, the 49ers also signed inside linebacker Korey Toomer, a four-year veteran who had started eight games the past two seasons with the Chargers.
With Toomer and Warner, the 49ers covered themselves at the position, but they had a glut when it became clear Foster would remain.
They have since parted with Toomer, who was released as part of their final roster cuts.
Warner, however, isn't going anywhere — most likely for a long, long time.

My Scottish-themed books sell well in Australia, so I gave it a try. I had just released My Dark Highlander November 1st, and had SHIVER: a White Mountains Thriller coming out December 1st. I was also working on bringing out My Honorable Highlander as an audio book with Audible in January.
When the contact person at ARRA got back to me rather quickly, she stated they were booked through mid-August. Well, I was also working on the final book in my Kilted Athletes Through Time series. Would I be done and published by then?
I decided I could make it work, which is another great attribute of being a self-published or Indie Author. So I grabbed the August 16, 2015 spot.
Their organization asked for an article...a story from my perspective, which can then explain how I came to write my book. My Hunted Highlander is my 6th Scottish time travel book and was released June 16th. Inspiration came my way through my volunteer work, which is why the article is titled
Inspiration Wrapped in Plaid
Please check out the article HERE
I would love to hear what you think!

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
KVM stands for Keyboard Video Mouse and KVM switches allow you to switch the use of a keyboard, display and mouse between multiple computers. KVM switches also commonly let you switch audio and USB devices between computers.
There are different types of KVM switches as well.
- Standard box KVM switches. (e.g. SV231USB)
- Cable KVM switches. (e.g. SV211USB)
- Multi-Monitor KVM switches. (e.g. SV231DDUSB)
- IP KVM switches. (e.g. SV841HDIE)
Standard box and cable KVM switches are a simple way to switch the use of a keyboard, display, and mouse between multiple computers. Multi-monitor KVM switches allow you to switch multiple displays between computers, and IP KVM switches allow you to remotely control the KVM switch and connected computers over a network.
Here are some important things to consider before purchasing a KVM switch.
- How many computers do you need to control? Purchase a KVM switch that supports the number of computers in your setup.
- Which video connections do your computers and display(s) support? It is best practice to use the same video connections wherever possible.
- Will you be using a PS/2 or USB mouse and keyboard?
- Do you need multiple monitor support? Ensure every computer can support the number of monitors you are looking to use in your setup.
- Do you need audio support?
- What resolution(s) do you want your display(s) running at? The KVM switch must support the resolution(s) you want to use.
- Would you like hotkey support? Some KVM switches support the use of hotkey combinations to complete tasks such as switching between computers.
There are a couple of other important things you may want to take note of:
- Some KVM switches require proprietary cables to function. These KVM cables may vary by each KVM switch. For StarTech.com KVM switches that require proprietary cables, the KVM switches will either come with these cables, or they will be listed in the Accessories tab on the individual product pages. For more information, see our video dedicated to KVM switch cables.
- Basic mice and keyboards are recommended for use with KVM switches. Wireless, gaming or combo mice and keyboards (mice and keyboards that use a single USB connection / receiver for both units) can cause performance issues, and in general, are not supported for use with KVM switches.
It can be difficult to tell which ones are right for the KVM switch you are interested in. How can you tell which KVM cables you require? How can you tell if a KVM switch requires proprietary cables? How do these cables work?
Standard KVM Switches and Cables
Note: You will need one bundle of KVM cables per computer you want to connect to the KVM switch.
Standard KVM switches have no special cable requirements. If you have spare video and PS/2 or USB cables, you can use them to hook up the KVM switch to your computers. StarTech.com still sells KVM cable packages, but they are just for the convenience of buying them in bundles and usually involve some savings. Keep in mind that even if you have some of the cables you need, it still might be advantageous to buy the bundle.
KVM Switches with Opposite Gender Video Connections
Some KVM switches use male video connections for the computers and female video connections for the console ports. In this case you simply need a video extension cable, or a KVM cable package appropriate to the KVM switch. This is so you cannot accidentally plug cables from your computer into the console ports.
KVM Switches Requiring Proprietary Cables
KVM switches can also use proprietary KVM cables to connect to the individual computers. This is often done with larger KVM switches and KVM switches intended for a server environment. These cables use a proprietary pinout which does not conform to the video standard in use, as the cable carries both the video and PS/2 or USB data along a single cable.
If you are unsure whether or not you need special cables, complete the following:
- Check the Technical Specifications tab on the individual product pages for What's in the Box. This section lists everything that comes with your purchase, and your KVM switch might come with the cables.
- Check the Accessories tab. This section lists potential accessories for the product you are looking at. StarTech.com will list the appropriate KVM cables for the KVM switch here.
- Check the Gallery and look at a picture of the back of the KVM switch.
Note: If there are no PS/2 or USB ports on the back of the KVM switch other than for the console, you will require proprietary cables.
If at this point you require further assistance in deciding which cables to purchase with your StarTech.com KVM switch, contact our technical support team.
Whether a specific mouse or keyboard will work with StarTech.com KVM switches can depend on the type of mouse or keyboard you use. Any mice with additional functionality or keyboards that are not standard 104 key keyboards could cause issues. This includes wireless, gaming, combination (one USB receiver for both the mouse and keyboard), and Apple keyboards. We recommend that you use a standard wired mouse and keyboard with our KVM switches, especially when you troubleshoot issues.
If you cannot get a specific mouse or keyboard to work with your KVM switch, connect the mouse or keyboard into the USB hub ports, if available (they are marked on the back of the KVM switch). If the KVM switch has hotkey functionality, you will lose the functionality when using these hub ports.
- Turn off all of the computers and monitors that will be connected to the KVM switch.
- Connect the power adapter to the KVM switch.
- Connect the video cables from your monitors to the console video port on the KVM switch.
- Turn on the monitors.
- Connect your keyboard and mouse to the console PS/2 or USB ports on the KVM switch.
- If you have not done so already, change the KVM switch to focus on port 1.
- Connect the video cables from PC1 to the KVM switch.
- Connect the PS/2 or USB cables from PC1 to the PC1 PS/2 or USB ports on the KVM switch.
- Turn on PC1. You should see the computer load the operating system that you are using on PC1.
- Make sure that the mouse and keyboard can control PC1.
- Repeat steps 4 to 8 for each additional computer that you want to connect to the KVM switch. Leave the computer in focus until you make sure that the mouse and keyboard can control the computer in step 8.
Monitors may begin flickering when they receive a signal of insufficient quality. There are a few potential fixes available that will help to improve the signal quality in order to eliminate flickering:
- Replace Video Cables with high-quality Video Cables (e.g. upgrade DisplayPort 1.2 Cables to DisplayPort 1.4 Cables).
- Use shorter Video Cables to reduce signal attenuation.
- When possible, remove Video Adapters to use native Video Connection Types (e.g. go from VGA to VGA, or DisplayPort to DisplayPort)
- For DisplayPort Monitors, try changing the DisplayPort Version on the Monitor. For information on how to change your Monitor Settings refer to the Manual from the Monitor Manufacturer.
- Update the Drivers for the Computer's GPU to the latest available from the Monitor Manufacturer.
- Ensure the video & USB cables are connected between each computer and the KVM switch
- Safely power off all computers. Unplug everything from the KVM switch and connect one computer at a time, swapping the inputs previously used (e.g., the computer connected to PC2 now connects to PC1). Power on each computer and confirm functionality before connecting the next one to the KVM switch.
- If using a KVM switch that supports multiple displays, ensure all video connections from the computer are from either the video card or motherboard, both cannot be used simultaneously on most systems.
There are some quick tests that you can perform to rule out potential issues. Start by turning off all of the connected computers and peripherals, unplugging everything from the KVM, including power, and leaving it for 10 seconds. Then connect everything to the KVM following the procedure in the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/kvm-switches-setup.
You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
KVM switch
Video source (such as a DVR or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing your setup components, it is recommended that you avoid using any video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI to be used with an HDMI extender, you should test with an HDMI source.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the video cable, KVM switch, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different video cable, KVM switch, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the KVM switch from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the KVM switch.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, KVM switch, and video destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
There are four troubleshooting actions that you can try if some but not all of the ports and your computer are working with the KVM switch.
- To determine if a specific cable is the source of the problem, switch the cables that connect the KVM switch to the computers to one working port and computer, and one port and computer that is not working. Keep the computer plugged into the same ports and only switch the cables. If the issue persists when you switch cables, the issue may be with the cable itself.
- To determine if the problem is between the computer and the KVM switch, using the same cables, connect the KVM switch to one computer that is working and one computer that is not working. If the issue persists when you switch computers, follows the issue may be with the computer and the KVM switch.
- Try reinitializing the KVM. This is done by following the setup instructions on the website.
- To determine if the KVM switch is the source of the problem, if you have another KVM switch, disconnect the current KVM switch and connect the second KVM switch.
If the keys on your keyboard are repeating, complete the following:
- If the KVM you are using has USB ports, you can move your keyboard to the USB hub port on the back of the KVM (the USB hubs are marked).
Note: When you move the keyboard out of the keyboard port, you will not be able to access the hotkeys.
- You can adjust the typematic rate in your operating system's settings. Depending on the version of Windows you are running, you can adjust the typematic rate by doing one of the following:
- Click Control Panel > Keyboard > Speed. Adjust the repeat delay and repeat rate until the keys no longer repeat.
- Click Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. Right-click Keyboard Settings. Adjust the repeat delay and repeat rate until the keys no longer repeat.
Common Issues
The Display Data Channel (DDC) communication from each connected computer can be disrupted when the focus of a KVM switch is switched between computers. This causes the computer to revert to a basic display configuration. In which any windows open may resize and/or move to a single display. This behavior is common among high-resolution or multi-display DisplayPort KVM switches and is not exclusive to StarTech.com products.
To avoid this behavior:
- A DisplayPort EDID emulator can be connected between the computer and the DisplayPort KVM Switch. The DisplayPort EDID Emulator maintains the DDC communication to the connected computer, which prevents the computer from reverting to a more basic display configuration.
- In Windows this can be worked around by pressing "Windows Key + m" prior to switching and "Windows Key + Shift + m" when you have returned to that Computer.

This paper provides the first formalization of self-interested planning in multiagent settings using expectation-maximization (EM). Our formalization in the context of infinite-horizon and finitely-nested interactive POMDPs (I-POMDP) is distinct from EM formulations for POMDPs and cooperative multiagent planning frameworks. We exploit the graphical model structure specific to I-POMDPs, and present a new approach based on block-coordinate descent for further speed up. Forward filtering-backward sampling -- a combination of exact filtering with sampling -- is explored to exploit problem structure.
