Perl IF Statement- A Versatile Conditional Statement Construct
PERL is an acronym for Practical extraction and report language. Many of Perl's features are taken from other languages such as C and BASIC. This language supports both procedural and object oriented programming. Developers coming from C or Unix shell programming background will find it relatively easy to migrate to this platform. Perl programs are known to be stable. Applications created with Perl will run on a wide variety of platforms. Perl possesses superior text manipulation capabilities. This language is open source and extensible. Perl offers convenient connectivity to databases such as Oracle, Sybase, MySQL and others. The language is capable to handle e-commerce transactions. It is often referred to as " the duct-tape of the Internet". Perl is Y2K compliant and offers support for Unicode. This language simplifies the handling of HTML forms. Perl is often embedded in web servers in order to significantly increase processing speeds.
We walk you through this beginner' s level tutorial on the Perl if statement. We assume that you are familiar with the basics of programming. Else we suggest you go through this course on programming for complete beginners.
The Perl If statement
The if statements tests whether a condition or regular expression evaluates to true. If yes, then a block of statement associated with the if is executed. Else, the execution transfers to the next block. Let's take a look at the different kinds of IF statements in Perl.
1. A simple if statement
The syntax of this statement is as follows:
if (EXPR) BLOCK
Here EXPR is evaluated. If true, Perl will execute the code between the curly braces of the block. If false, program control will go to the next statement after the block. Take a look at the example given below
$x = -1; if($x < 0) { $x += 2; } print "x = $x\n";
The is a very simple program that just checks if X is less than 0. If yes, we add 2 to X and print it. Learn how to write your own Perl programs with this course.
if(1) { $a = 1; }
In the above example, the if statement will always be true. Note that no condition is used here. We just check the value of '1' – which is always true. Learn more about evaluating expressions in this course. Note that the principles are common across programming languages.
2. General if statement
if (EXPR) BLOCK elsif (EXPR) BLOCK ... else BLOCK
The parameters are as follows
- EXPR stands for a condition.
- BLOCK consists of statement(s) enclosed in curly braces.
- else and elsif clauses are optional.
3. if-else
Here an if statement may be followed by an else statement.
The syntax is as follows
if (EXPR) BLOCK else BLOCK
Example 1: Program to find the maximum of two numbers
$x = 15; $y = 27; if($x > $y) { print "max($x, $y) = $x\n"; } else { print "max($x, $y) = $y\n"; }
Here the variable x and y are assigned the values 15 and 27 respectively. The if statement evaluates whether value of variable x is greater than value of variable y. Since the condition proves to be false, the statements enclosed within the curly braces of the if statement are skipped. The program control goes to the else statement. Else does not have any condition. Hence the statement enclosed in it is executed.
The if statement comes in the category of conditional statements. In order to advance your knowledge on conditional statements in Perl, check out this hands-on Perl course.
4. if used as a modifier
Here the syntax is as follows.
STATEMENT if (EXPR)
Here we use Perl if as a modifier of a statement. In order to execute the if statement, EXPR (which is a condition) must be true. This format of if allows you to put the important statement right at the beginning. The example given below demonstrates that.
$debug = 1; $x = 1; $y = 2; print "x = $x\n" if $debug; print "y = $y\n" if $debug;
In the above code, if the debug message has to be printed at the beginning we set its value to 1.
Example 2: Program using if statement along with logical operators
#!/usr/bin/perl print "content-type: text/html \n\n"; $a = 7; $b = 7; if ($a == 7) { print '$a is equal to 7!'; print "
"; } if (($a == 7) || ($b == 7)) { print '$a or $b is equal to 7!'; print "
"; } if (($a == 7) && ($b == 7)) { print '$a and $b are equal to 7!'; print "
"; }
Initially, the variables a and b are assigned the value 7. In the first if statement, we use the equality operator'=='. Note that this is different from the assignment operator '='. As the first if condition evaluates to true, the statements enclosed in its braces are executed. Then we evaluate the second if condition. Note that the logical operator for or "||" is used in the condition. In the event, that any one or both the conditions are true, the if statement evaluates to true. IN the third if condition we use the logical and operator "&&". This operator returns true only if both the operands are true.
Example 3: If else statement using relational operators
$name1 = "Jimmy"; $num1 = 7; if ($num1 > 8) { print "$num1 is greater than 8!"; } else { print "$num1 is not greater than 8!"; } print "
"; if ($name1 eq "Jimmy") { print "Hello, $name1!"; } else { print "You are not $name1!"; }
Here there are two if else statements. In the first if statement the relational operator '>' is used. If it evaluates to true, the statement within the if statement's curly braces are executed. In case, if the condition evaluates to false the statements falling under the else statement's curly braces are executed. In the second if statement, the relational operator 'eq' is used. It stands for equality. Depending upon whether the if condition is true or false, the respective statements in the curly braces are executed.
we hope this gives you a good insight into the various ways you can use the IF statement in Perl. Do experiment with the examples given here, and try out your own code. As always, programming makes perfect.

I've been following Maschine since prototype stages. The idea was at once obvious and welcome: build a software workstation, tightly integrated with pad hardware control, that fuses hardware sampler working methods with the on-screen flexibility of software. It's software that focuses on working with sounds and patterns, outside the DAW-style metaphors. Of course, there's one […]Read more

That doesn't necessarily end it for Carraway however. He faces on ongoing investigation by the Marion Co. Prosecutor's office. The Star's Mary Beth Schneider reports:
Roger Rayl, spokesman for Prosecutor Carl Brizzi, said that while the investigation into the hard drives is complete, the office continues to investigate allegations, outlined in a State Board of Accounts audit last year, that Carraway and Johnson inappropriately directed more than $140,000 in public dollars to a foundation that runs the State Police Memorial.
Republicans were quick to jump on the news. Schneider writes:
County GOP Chairman Michael B. Murphy, also an Indianapolis state representative, issued a statement calling on Peterson to refund any money "from that infamous fundraising event." "What did the mayor know, and when did he know it?" Murphy said, repeating the phrase used in the Watergate probe of then-president Richard Nixon.
Democratic Party communications director Jennifer Wagner says I can play that game too. She tells Schneider that "the Indiana Democratic Party, said it has filed a similar complaint with the state's inspector general against current Transportation Commissioner Tom Sharp for meeting with transportation industry officials who also are GOP political donors." Schneider adds, "That meeting was coordinated by the Republican Party's state fundraising unit."
As for the tainted Peterson money, Mike O'Connor tells Schneider that Peterson has no intention of returning the money which Nicol raised for him in violation of state ethics rules. And just what was on those computer hard drives Carraway destroyed? Let's hope the Marion Co. Prosecutor's office can tell us more about that one.

David Suzuki speaks out against Stephen Harper at Stand Up for Science rally in Vancouver
Cheers of approval greeted David Suzuki as he spoke before a large group that rallied in defence of science at the Vancouver Art Gallery today (September 16).
"We now have a prime minister intent on pushing through the pipeline across British Columbia before all of the scientific information—the assessment—is even in," said the academic and famed environmentalist. "We don't make informed decisions that way. We have to assess the information available. But what we are now is we are threatened with politicians deciding, not only whether or not to listen to scientists, but the kind of information that scientists are allowed to tell us about."
The event was one of 14 protests staged across the country under the slogan Stand Up for Science.
In a telephone interview, Pamela Zevit, one of the Vancouver event organizers, told the Straight that federal Conservative policies are hindering the work of scientists and preventing researchers from meeting their responsibilities to society.
"Over the last few years, there have been a lot of shifts in how science is funded in Canada and in how science is communicated to the public," she explained. "I happen to be a conservation biologist and I work with a number of individuals who are both inside and outside of government and I've seen the impacts that these changes have had in regards to ensuring that there is enough rigorous information that's provided for decision making."
The office of Greg Rickford, Canada's minister of state for science and technology, did not respond to an interview request by deadline.
The same day that scientists and their supporters staged the protests across Canada, the NDP opposition critics for science and technology called on the government to pass a motion that would protect researchers from political interference.
On the phone from Ottawa, Kennedy Stewart, MLA for Burnaby-Douglas, told the Straight that some 200 scientists he's spent the last two years meeting with regularly have expressed three major areas of concern.
"The first is that this muzzling that is creating a chilling climate, where you're always looking over your shoulder," he began.
The second is the significant number of researchers who have lost federally funded positions. "Since 2011, there have been 4,000 scientists and researchers who have lost their jobs," Stewart said. "Considering we only have about 36,000 researchers in Canada employed by the federal government in Canada, that's a lot, to lose 10 percent in two years."
The third cause for alarm is funding cuts. According to Stewart, since 2006 there has been a six-percent reduction in federal funding for science and technology investment in Canada.
He described it all as part of a greater narrative related to an open hostility towards environmental science and climate change research, and how work in those fields could adversely impact the economic development of Alberta's tar sands (also known as the oil sands).
"It's gotten so bad that our information commissioner here has launched an investigation into six government departments, including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Environment Canada, and the National Research Council," Stewart said. "It really is a dark time for science in Canada."

Get up to date people, we don't have to love this planet with fear like neocons:
*Occupywallstreet now does not even mention CO2 in its list of demands because of the bank-funded and corporate run carbon trading stock markets ruled by politicians.
*Science has never agreed it WILL be a crisis, only could be a crisis and it's been almost three decades.
*Not one single IPCC warning has ever said any crisis WILL happen, only 28 years of "maybe" a crisis. Prove me wrong.
*Canada killed Y2Kyoto with a freely elected climate change denying prime minister and nobody cared, especially the millions of scientists warning us of unstoppable warming (a comet hit).
*Julian Assange is of course a climate change denier.
*Obama had not mentioned the crisis in two State of the Unions addresses.
Definition of a Fear Monger; Anyone saying a CO2 crisis will happen when science has NEVER agreed it WILL happen, they only agreed it could and might and possibly and……………………….for 28 years. Who's the neocon here again?
Sep 16, 2013 at 6:42pm
what is this crisis you speak of exactly? I believe it isn't going to be a crisis , but eventually small changes to our environment will begin to affect how we live. These being a lack of significant local food sources where the water dependent Californian farms will be starved for water very soon. All of our local farmers have been undercut out of business by these large monopolizing farms and without the input of these local sources, we will see what happens..

It is not just the science or the carbon dioxide, or the suppression of information it's the insistence on selling unrefined crude over refined product, and the refusal to transition to a more green economy. If nothing is done we will be worse off soon!

It's happening already. The science was decided long ago. We're fucked.

@ mememine69 - you're acting like a conspiracy theorist - typical of someone who wants to obfuscate the issue - were you paid by the harper administration????
What is clear is this: That the Harper administration tries to silence those who speak against them and their agenda. This is not limited to the "voice of science" - they limit the information published to the general media as well - does that not spell FASCIST, TOTALITARIAN and DICTATORSHIP to you? Get him out - anyone who votes for him is simply afraid of change and the typical response is "there's nobody better to vote for" - well I'm sorry, but that's not a good enough excuse for voting for him. PERIOD. We don't want or need someone like that in power. Not only has he undone years of environmentally protective laws, but he's trying to "globalize" our economy based on some unproven theories (he's an economist after all) - the people who suffer are the Canadian people - who work to pay our dues (taxes) to keep this country alive. The top 1% is just that - only 1%.

I was at the raly yesterday and all I would like to say is thank-you to Mr.Suzuki and all others involved. I don't know how anyone can deny what is happening on our planet. Canadians need to wake up! Before people start or continue criticizing Dr.Suzuki' and other scientists findings, they need to realize the objective to the raly was to educate the public regarding the lack of information we currently have...as our government is muzzling our scientists. As Canadians we cannot even formulate educated opinions unless we have all the information Mr.Harper is keeping from us. ..and frankly I'm tired of hearing criticism regarding Dr.Suzuki. ..he has dedicated his life to help save our planet..Canadians owe him respect! End of story...Thank-you Dr.Suzuki for your continued dedication to saving our planet and ultimately my family.

'saving our planet' huh?
This just in!!...
Your planet will return to ice age status within a few millennia. The Holocene has been a great ride but it is time for it to end. Think there might be some species depletion happening then?
I bet humanity will be all to happy to burn coal, or even better have a fusion technology working.
Sep 17, 2013 at 11:53am
David Suzuki as gotten rich spewing his fear mongering BS. I am sure most if his followers do better things for the planet than he does. I don't trust him, i don't like him. Harper keeps the country working and paying the taxes the left so dearly loves. We had a great warm and sunny summer, and i LOVED IT!

There's this great halloween costume pictured above (the shoes really sell it) and there are of course images of upgrades, TiVos ignoring phone lines, messed up TiVos, Slingboxed TiVos, TiVo charging palms, and the dreaded green screen of death. The most fun is the other stuff people do with their TiVos. There are babies with TiVo remotes and even dogs. There are people hugging TiVo and licking TiVo. There are people acting out TV and including TiVo. There's TiVo at Disneyland and TiVo repair trucks on the road. There's even TiVo in the snow. Next Halloween, I'll have to try this.
And of course, this religious iconography is probably how most fans of TiVo picture it in their minds.

GARZES, DANIEL ZUÑIGA, SR. (1920–2004). Daniel Garzes, singer, guitarist, and songwriter, made major contributions to conjunto music from the late 1940s through the early 1960s. He was born on September 23, 1920, in Meyersville, DeWitt County, Texas, to Beatris Zuñiga. Beatris had immigrated to Texas in 1913 during the Mexican Revolution. On March 13, 1925, she married Florencio Garzes, and the 1930 United States census listed Florencio as a farmer living in Karnes County. The household included his wife Beatris, three children, and three stepchildren (including Daniel). Daniel worked in the fields with his family and received a grammar school education. He learned to play the guitar when he was twelve years old from Florencio, who also played violin. When Daniel Garzes was about fifteen years old, he started playing with several friends in the small South Texas towns around Victoria and wrote his own songs.
On September 12, 1942, Garzes began service as a private in the United States Army. He served through the end of World War II and, while stationed in Europe, reportedly performed music at military functions. On May 28, 1947, Garzes married Rita Vasquez (in Bad Axe, Michigan). He returned to Texas and made San Antonio his home. By the early 1950s Garzes had formed a conjunto with Ambrosio "Bocho" Rodríguez and Raul Moreno. Around the time of their first recording, the group was playing at a club called the "Three Kings," and they took the name "Los Tres Reyes de Daniel Garzes." The conjunto first recorded on the Rio label, followed by Corona, Ideal, Falcon, and others. Los Tres Reyes toured extensively around the United States and was one of the earliest conjuntos to tour outside of Texas. Garzes, who wrote more than 500 songs during his lifetime, broadened the conjunto music style by writing and playing boleros, cumbias, and corridos, which some people believed could not be played on the accordion. Garzes emphasized the importance of corridos that tell a story, and his contribution as a songwriter made him well known in the United States, Mexico, and Spain. His most famous song, "Los Pizcadores" ("The Cottonpickers"), was inspired by his early experiences as a field worker. This song recreates the experience of working in the cotton fields and is played in a vibrant, lively style. Other compositions of his include "Te Busqué," "Ya llego la Primavera." "Mujer Paseada," and "Espero tu Regreso."
Listen to this artist
Beginning in 1961 Garzes quit touring and sold insurance for his living, but he returned to music after his retirement in the 1980s. For his contributions to conjunto music he was inducted into the Tejano Music Hall of Fame in 1979 and the Conjunto Hall of Fame in 1987. Daniel Garzes died in San Antonio on April 13, 2004, and was buried in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. His wife Rita had preceded him in death. He was survived by two daughters and one son. On August 27, 2005, the inaugural program of a new series, "Legends at the Alameda," at the Alameda Theater in San Antonio featured a tribute to Garzes. He was inducted into the Texas Conjunto Music Hall of Fame in 2011.

In today's modern world, carriage of live animals by air is considered the most humane and expedite method of transportation over long distances. KQ live is our safe and caring service for transportation of animals.
Our service is more than just an animal transportation service because we offer you the following:
Continuous care for the animal before, during and after flights by specially trained staff.
Availability on all online KQ destinations.
Transportation of live animals in optimum conditions of safety, comfort and hygiene.
We transport live animals and both accompanied and unaccompanied pets.
Late Cut-off times for acceptance i.e. 3hours before scheduled time of departure.*
High up-lift priority onto the flight if booking is confirmed.
Dedicated sales and customer service team to attend to your queries.
Information about the movement of your animal shipment will be available to you via our track and trace system that is on our website after flight departure.
Animals will only be accepted for carriage if they are carried in closed containers and the container must:
Be well constructed and able to withstand freight damage.
Be rigid enough to prevent the animal from escaping through gaps at the seams or joints.
Be adequately ventilated on at least 3 sides with most ventilation being provided on the upper part of the container.
Have maximum dimensions of L240cm x W114cm x H76cm to be loaded on a B737 aircraft with a maximum weight of 150kg. Please contact you local KQ Cargo office for information on acceptable dimensions for wide-body aircraft.
The container must have the following markings:
The full name, address and 24hr telephone contact of the shipper.
The scientific and common name of the animal(s) in the container, as shown on the shipper's certificate.
The number of animal(s) in the container.
Containers holding animals that bite must be marked "THIS ANIMAL BITES"
Shipper's instruction for feeding and watering.
Any details of medication administered prior to shipping.
The shipper is required to provide the following documents: Import and Export Permits.
Valid Health Certificate and Vaccination Certificate which must be attached to the air waybill (AWB). If the passenger is not in possession of these documents, transportation of the pet shall be refused.
Shipper's Certificate.
Ensure you make your booking as early as possible. At the very latest, 12hours before scheduled time of flight departure.
Please provide separate food and water receptacles, either inside the container or attached to it with a means of access so that they can be filled or replenished when required. They must have rounded edges and be made of non-toxic material suitable for the animal species.
Also include feeding and watering instructions in writing at the time of acceptance. Feeding and watering instructions must be affixed to the container and a copy of the instruction must accompany the shipping documents.
Do not forget to provide some food for the animal, though it must be checked to ensure that it does not contravene any regulations of the country(ies) of transit or importation.
To prepare your pet for take-off, we would advice that you ensure it has had a long walk before hand and the right food. Ideally, it should have its last meal 6-8 hours before take-off and only drink small amounts of water. Consult your vet for more information.
Tranquilization is NOT advisable for animals being shipped by air as it can cause drop in blood pressure which can be fatal at the altitude of flight pressurization (8000ft). However, it can be allowed if the pet is accompanied by a Vet on board the aircraft. Please consult your vet.
Animals traveling on KQ or partner airlines via Nairobi with a transit time of more than 2hrs will be transferred to Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) animal holding to receive proper care. Transfer to this facility can only take place when copies of health certificates and all other documents are attached to the Air Waybill (AWB). This is a non-KQ operation and the customer will be charged separately for this service.
Animals with less than 2 hours transit time will remain in the Baggage Transfer area and will be placed in a sheltered and aired environment before being loaded again.
Animals on transit have a maximum stay-over period of 24 hours and this is limited to 1 night. A passenger is not allowed to visit his/her pet while it is at the Kenya Airports Authority animal holding centre.
Most animals can be transported by air, however our only limitation is the size of the aircraft cargo hold door. This is what determines the maximum size of the animal's container that we can accept. The size is different for wide-body aircraft and narrow body aircraft.
KQ does not accept pets in the cabin, except for guide dogs. Passengers who have pets that they would like to travel with have to transport them as cargo through the cargo terminal, and not at the airport check-in desk.
Different countries in our network have different restrictions for animals on transit and those being imported, for further information on these restrictions please contact your nearest KQ Cargo office.
* Conditions apply.
Please contact your local KQ Cargo office for further information.

What is the best way to describe 1010 art? This Hamburg-based artist is internationally recognized for his sprawling freehand murals and for the occasion of his returning exhibition Eversion at Hashimoto Contemporary his interest in color theory and perspective is literally given a new dimension. Naming his work as holes, abysses, passages, or portals, the viewer is offered enough space for interpretation and projection. His new paintings created on acrylic glass and aluminum dibond, explore the artist's interest in new materials and the notion of other-worldly gateways that seemingly fade into the unknown.
1010, pronounced ten-ten lives and works in Hamburg, Germany. His beginnings are linked to the strong tradition of street and graffiti work. Yet, the recent international recognition was received due to his series of op-art murals, defined to represent illusionary works suggesting colorful portals. These the artist started spray painting in 2009 and soon they spread from Germany to other cities of the world. From Paris to Liberia, his sprawling murals often disrupt the sides of multi-story buildings, while on other occasions expand across the paved road, or transform the façade into an abyss one could seemingly fall into. These represent some of the best examples of today's illusion art.
It is not by accident that the artist named his latest exhibition Eversion. For many, this term best describes 1010's visual language of his latest works. Examining his murals, for his gallery works, the artist extends his use of the airbrush technique and offers a new identity of his street painting as movable components. Instead of applying paint directly to the walls, the artist paints layers of acrylic glass and mounts them to aluminum dibond. With the delicate application of the airbrush, the geometrical shape is further enhanced and with the play of the light and space of the room, each piece has a life of its own. Few of the works are composed within the traditional rectangle frame, while other pieces are formed by multiple parts and span across an entire wall.
Influenced by the most inventive achievements in painting, sculpture, and installation art, Hashimoto Contemporary offers monthly rotating exhibitions. The eclectic nature of the featured shows promotes recognized and fresh new names of contemporary production.
For his second solo exhibition Eversion, 1010 has transformed his celebrated op-murals into movable components across the space of the gallery. Starting on November 3rd, 2016 and lasting until November 26th, 2016, the public is offered a truly unique visual experience. Presenting more than a dozen portals, each representing its own tear in time and space, the audience is invited to envision and experience the research to the unknown and the act of turning outward.

Take Startups from Passion to Profit
In Villanova's Clinic for Law and Entrepreneurship, students work side-by-side with startups in a win-win collaboration. They gain valuable real-world experience while bootstrapping entrepreneurs get the high-quality legal services they often cannot afford.
Working with full-time faculty, clinic students become a primary counselor to emerging for-profit and non-profit businesses—advising on a diverse array of challenges common to launching, operating and growing sustainable ventures. Their clinical work also serves as a vital community resource. While contributing to the Greater Philadelphia entrepreneurial ecosystem, students are empowering local innovators to turn their dreams into realities.
The clinic is part of The John F. Scarpa Center for Law and Entrepreneurship, which serves as a vital resource for all Villanova Law students to gain wide-ranging academic and practical experience at the intersection of law and business—further aligning the educational experience with the demands of 21st-century practice.
"Villanova Law's curriculum prepares students with a meaningful foundation in the laws and business concepts they will need to master to effectively counsel their clients. And the region's thriving entrepreneurial culture supplies no shortage of innovative projects for students to lend their talents to," said Melanie McMenamin, the clinic's director.
McMenamin continued, "I like to think of the Clinic for Law and Entrepreneurship as the place where all of this preparation and opportunity collide. By engaging students in the direct representation of entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes, my goal is to help them use their legal education to play a role in creating and shaping the institutions that form the fabric of our society."

We have received several late Letters from you, and two this morning by the hand of Captain Amiel, containing abundant Testimonies of your good Character.
As We have never entertained the least doubt, of your Probity or Honor, or of your unblemished reputation, you have given yourself much trouble without necessity, and used as the Saying is, In Re non dubi, testibus non necessariis.
It is true We received a Letter, in which some regret was expressed that We had addressed Mr. Amiel and his Papers to you, and the reason assigned was, because you had the Letter Writer thought you had made yourself "somewhat too busy, in some particular matters," but this you may be assured never made the least Impression upon Us, to your disadvantage.
In one of those Letters We received the Bond, Instructions and Commission returned.
If you should write to America, the News as it occurs, you may write to the Honourable James Warren Esqr., Speaker of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts Bay, at Boston,--or to The Honourable Committee of foreign Affairs, at Congress, or to both. If you can send any English Newspapers they will be always acceptable. But We would wish You to observe one Rule, which is, not to write any News to America that is not well authenticated, because there are so many Misrepresentations floating about in the World, that if these should be written as they occurr, to a distant Country, they would tend to confound and mislead the People.
The American Seamen you mention, We wish to have put into some Employment, by which they may earn their Bread and save Expences to their Country, as soon as possible, and it is indifferent to Us, whether it is at
B. Franklin, Arthur Lee, John Adams
[to] Mr. Francis Coffyn at Dunkirk.
As We understand the Boston in her last Cruise, did not sail so well as formerly, We apprehend this Alteration has been made, by some change in her Ballast: for which reason, you are directed, if you judge it necessary, to take out your present Ballast; to apply to Mr. Schweighauser at Nantes, and take from him such Articles, as he may have to send to America, which may be stowed away in your Ship, without hindrance to her sailing or fighting, and to take from him also, a quantity of Lead, to be used as Ballast untill you arrive in America, and then delivered to the Continental Agent, informing Congress or the Navy Board by Letter.
Upon the Receipt of this Letter, you are then to join Captain Whipple and to pursue his orders, respecting your future Cruises and Voyage to America. If Lieutenant Simpson of the Ranger should apply to you for a Passage to America, in the Boston, you will afford him Accommodations according to his Rank. We are &c.
B. Franklin, Arthur Lee, John Adams
[to] Captain Tucker
You will putt on board the Boston Frigate such Articles as Captain Tucker shall inform you he can take to America, and among other Things you are desired to furnish him, if it is in your Power, with a quantity of Lead.... As this Article is much wanted in America, and is excellent for Ballast, you are desired to furnish him as much as he can carry and you can conveniently supply. We are &c.
B. Franklin, Arthur Lee, John Adams.
[to] Mr. J. D. Schweighauser.
We have ordered Captain Tucker, to join you, in your future Cruises and Voyage to America. -- You will get to Sea, with all possible Expedition.

APPROXIMATELY 30 soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland (4 SCOTS) have arrived at the scene to provide to support to Greater Manchester firefighters at the moorland in Tameside.
Troops will work closely with over 100 firefighters throughout the day to provide additional support to crews tackling the fires across the moorland. This provision will allow other GMFRS recourses in Greater Manchester to be freed up to deal with other emergency calls.
The fire which is stretched across seven miles of moorland has been contained and crews are continuing to make good progress in extinguishing the fires. There are currently six affected areas across the moorland where firefighters and troops will be deployed to today.
Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Tony Hunter said: "To have the support of the Armed Forces is extremely pleasing and I know that firefighters will be very appreciative of their help in tackling the multiple fires we are dealing with.
"The RAF Chinook helicopter has been provided to us and is available as a resource if we need it. We will revise our tactical plan and assess the fires across the moorlands to see if and when it is appropriate to be used.
"We have not seen any indication of any rainfall, so this incident is likely to be prolonged for a number of days. The fire is contained at the moment, but we only need a change of wind direction to see the fire increase. We are working hard to keep on top of the blaze.
"I would like to thank local residents and businesses who have been very understanding and incredibly generous in their donations to our crews. We will continue to work closely with our partners, volunteers and the Armed Forces today, and we hope to make some more good progress."
In total, approximately 100 soldiers from the 4th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland will join firefighters throughout the day.

This Florida native feels compelled to correct Mr. Brian J. Noggle and assure him that along with alligators the United States of America does indeed also have crocodiles. As you can see from the above link, they "cohabit" with alligators. Hence the confusion, I guess. People don't really think of crocodiles in America for some reason. Maybe because unlike the alligator, the crocodile is not considered worthy of turning into purses and steaks? Anyway, they especially love the area around the nuclear power plant at Turkey Point, south of Miami where I grew up. That's one nuclear power plant that's safe from terrorist attacks; even the most fanatic of jihadis ready to blow themselves to bits for Allah would hesitate to first run the gauntlet of giant mutant radioactive crocodiles.

Maybe we should hold the primaries there.
Pingback: Musings from Brian J. Noggle » Blog Archive » There's An Awful Lot Of Caffeinated Piranha In Brazil
Well, in my case it was because they drilled into me at school that "Alligators live in America; crocodiles live in Africa." Another gift of knowledge from the public schools.
Zendo Deb
Crocodiles are still an endangered species in FL. Which is why even a lot of folks in FL have never seen one. Whereas Alligators are getting to be like rats, not quite as bad as roaches.
Zendo Deb
I take it back. reading your link I see they are "Threatened" but until recently they were endangered.

Singlespeed European Championship 2010
Just catching up on some old race reports I never published at the time...
The 2010 Singlespeed European Championships were held in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. This isn't too far from where I live and, never having raced at a European Championship before, it would be awfully rude of me not to have a go. The entry criteria fo this event were nice and simple, first come first served until it's full.
For those of you unfamiliar with the SSEC, or indeed it's bigger cousin the SSWC, an explanation: Yes, there is a bike race going on, and a fairly big one at that with a couple of hundred competitors from all over the continent, but this is very much a secondary activity to the beer festival which takes place before, during and after the race.
I had a singlespeed but it was really just a hack-bike for pootling to and from work on, so a much better one was hastily cobbled together out of my hardtail with the added addition of some plastic water pipe to space out the freewheel around the lone sprocket.
We all gathered in the field next to the pub which had been brave enough to host us and had our evening meal and a lot of beer there. Probably a little more beer than I really should have done, but I was just trying to enter into the spirit of the event, and I was still some way behind most of the others.
Numbers were slightly down as Eyjafjallajökull had erupted in Iceland and brought most of the flights around Europe to a stop. A number of competitors were already in the UK by the time that happened so they were fine, although getting home again may have been tricky… Those already booked on ferries would also have been OK but anyone forced to change plans at the last minute would have been in trouble. Quite a few didn't make it all although I did meet a bunch of Italians who had driven for about 20hrs from southern Italy after their flight was cancelled and got the ferry from Blibao to Plymouth, realising there was no point even attempting to get to Calais.
On the Saturday morning, for those who had only drunk too much beer the night before rather than far, far too much, there was a guided ride around the forest, which was a lot of fun, although as I found out later showed us none of the course at all.
We were back at the pub in time for dinner and even more beer. I'm a complete lightweight as far as drinking goes and was already starting to struggle.
There was roller-racing in the pub itself, which I think the crowd enjoyed much more than the competitors. Sprinting as hard as you possibly can, even for 30 seconds, really hurts if you do it properly. There was also an enormous cheeseboard, everyone attending had been told to bring some cheese so there was a vast selection from right across Europe.
It was of course another late night.
There was beer for breakfast and then we were all taken to where the race would begin, somewhere deep in the forest.
It was a running start, half a mile or so, down to where we had left the bikes. This favoured me as I can run reasonably well and so I was 4th when I found mine and set off on the course proper. This wasn't necessarily as easy as it sounds as while we had been making our way up to the start line the organisers had been busy moving everyone's bikes around and no-one had a clue where theirs was.
The course itself was a lot of fun, all rideable even on a singlespeed, although there were a couple of tough hills, but the swoopy singletrack was a hoot to ride. There were also a number of clumps of yellow plastic bush-like things dotted around, all helpfully labled as 'Updoc.' I had no what that was either, it wasn't until after the race when there were a couple of hundred riders gathered around the bar all saying 'What's up doc?' to each other that it clicked...
This was the first time I had raced a singlespeed and I got on fine with it, on a course like that I don't think there would have been that much of a difference to a geared bike, I found racing a bike without any suspension at the back much odder than riding one without being able to change gear.
There was also something which I had not seen at a race before, a bar on the racetrack. This was located next to the finish line but was serving right from the outset rather than after the race had finished. It was mainly populated by spectators to begin with but every time I came around to start another lap there were more and more competitors there, drinking yet more beer.
I'm not sure how many of us actually made it around the stipulated four laps, and how many succumbed to the temptations of the drinking and merriment as they passed the makeshift pub. I did make to the end before I stopped to join in, taking just over 3 hours. I knew I was 12th, from keeping track of who I had passed and who had passed me. I had only been doing this to monitor my progress as I would in any other race but it turns out this was the only way I would get a true result, the organisers only counted the first 3 in and then called everyone else 'Joint 4th'. Matt Page and Mel Alexander were our new champions
So what did I think? I was joint 4th in my first ever European Championship. I'm happy with that. Time for a celebratory beer I think.

David Woolston, Math TeacherEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi there! I have been with Staunton City Schools since 2012 and Shelburne Middle since 2018.
Before settling in with SCS, I made several stops along the way. After a couple years teaching at Stuarts Draft HS, I took a two-year hiatus to pursue a seminary degree in Missouri. While there, I met an amazing woman and convinced her (quite easily) to marry me and move to Virginia. It was then I started my second stint with Augusta County Schools at Riverheads HS. When we needed a change, we headed to Florida. It didn't take long for me to realize my love of orange juice could not overcome my hatred of Orlando traffic. So here we are, back to loving life in the Shenandoah Valley!
When I'm not teaching students the ubiquitous subject of math, I will most likely be spending time with my wife (Michelle), daughter (Lillian), & doodle (Emmet). We love to garden, read, and travel. And of course we support the most superior college football team in Pennsylvania;

Second Circle photos
Second Circle guide
The Second Circle is the highest section in the theatre and the furthest away from the stage. It has restricted slips running along the edge, which give a side view of the stage. Two small aisles run down either side of the Second Circle, with a narrow seating section running the length of the balcony.
Seats towards the rear are the cheapest, as they can feel quite distant from the stage. Sight-lines are generally unrestricted, but better views can be found towards the front of the section. There is a gentle curve to each row, although this does not affect the overall view.
A bar is available on this level and can be accessed via the lift to the third floor.
Men's and Women's toilets are located on this level.

One of the common system files found in 32-bit operating systems, like Windows XP, is ntvdm.exe. It stands for Windows NT Virtual DOS Machine. This file is typically found under C:WindowsSytem32.
The file size in Windows XP is 520,192 bytes and is a core Windows file which is Microsoft signed. Therefore the technical security rating on this file is 2% only. This file is extremely prone to virus attacks and lots of viruses have been known to disguise themselves as ntvdm.exe to avoid suspicion.
The ntvdm.exe file is normally used when you want to run a 16-bit application on a 32-bit machine. These may include older softwares as well as classic games like Counter Strike which incorporates the half-life 2 engine.
A very common problem that users face when using 16-bit applications is an ntvdm.exe error. Sometimes the file fails to execute whereas in most cases it takes too long to respond thereby hogging on system resources. Sometimes CPU usage can go up to 99-100%. This is typically due to the fact that ntvdm.exe has stopped working. There are a few methods to try and prevent this.
Fix ntvdm.exe CPU Usage
A simple method would be to stop ntvdm.exe from starting up during booting of the computer. To do this, follow the following steps:
For emergency cases you can call up the task manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and stop the process named ntvdm.exe. Keep in mind that this will consequently stop the application which had brought it up in the first place.
Another trick to prevent ntvdm.exe from hogging on system resources is discussed below:
This prevents the exe file from using too much of resources when it is waiting to be executed, that is it is in idle status.
Another very common reason of trouble is a virus. Since the ntvdm.exe file is a Windows verified file, hence it is easy for a virus to disguise itself as the file and bypass some scanners. Common problems would include multiple ntvdm.exe processes in task manager, too many unknown processes when you start a DOS application, too many .bat files getting opened etc. In such cases use a good quality anti-virus to scan and remove any forms of virus on your computer.

There will always be candidates for public office who are ethically compromised, temperamentally unsuitable and politically incompetent, but if they insist on running anyway, who has the right to tell them not to? Campaigns sort out the good public servants from the bad.
That said, Eliot Spitzer's bid to recycle himself by running for New York City comptroller is unnerving on many levels, and not just because he has suddenly decided to undo the buckles of self-restraint that used to keep disgraced ex-politicians (for soliciting prostitutes, in his case) from re-entering the public sphere. Beyond that, there are Mr. Spitzer's colossal failures in what he did and didn't do as governor of New York.
This was the man who built a solid record and shiny reputation as a hard-charging attorney general, then squandered it in 14 months in the governor's office. He had whipped Wall Street and was going to fix Albany, but left it more broken than when he got there.
When he quit — and who can forget how Mr. Spitzer's stricken wife stood beside him as he announced that it was all over? — he betrayed not just the voters, but the staff members, agency leaders and employees who had followed him to Albany, or moved over from the attorney general's office, with the goal of healing the Capitol's sick culture. They were his team, bursting with all the idealism and commitment that he professed to have, promising to make the Spitzer administration a model of integrity and effectiveness.
That never happened. Desperately needed reforms were thwarted, opportunities lost — and it was more than a sexual scandal that made Mr. Spitzer's truncated governorship an exceptional debacle in a capital city that is debacle central. It was that he saw himself as a "steamroller" instead of a leader, that he stoked alienation and resentment in his allies as well as his adversaries, the opposite of what a competent politician should do.
New Yorkers, like all citizens, deserve serious and thoughtful political campaigns, but between Anthony Weiner, the former sexting congressman, and Client 9 (the name given to Mr. Spitzer in the federal investigation of the escort service he used) and the self-described madam who ran that escort service and now claims she's going to run against her former customer, the stage is set for a summer of farce.
Mr. Spitzer, like Mr. Weiner, is a political animal who clearly finds it hard not to have an audience. That's understandable, but did they have to bring us all along on their journeys of personal ambition? For these two charter members of the Kardashian Party, notoriety is looking like the quick, easy path to redemption. Witness the TV-and-tabloid free-for-all on Monday in Union Square, where Mr. Spitzer went to greet voters, collect petition signatures and get his face out there. If he makes it on the ballot, he will doubtless discuss issues and ideas like the policy wonk he is. But he will also use his money and name recognition to suck all attention from the other candidates, especially the capable Manhattan borough president, Scott Stringer, who deserves better treatment.
Voters will have to do their best to tune out the noise.

Baku, October 20 – Newtimes.az
The deal, reached at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels, represents a shaky compromise between France and Germany.
European Union leaders have agreed to create a single supervisor for banks in countries that use the euro, and said it would "probably"' become operational sometime next year.
The deal, reached at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels on Friday, represents a shaky compromise between the Germans and French, who had been tussling over how to shore up the eurozone's banking system.
France has been pushing to get all 6,000 banks in the 17 countries under the supervision of one European body by the end of this year. Leaders agreed in June that, once a supervisor is in place, struggling financial institutions would be able to tap Europe's emergency bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism, directly.
At the moment, money to help banks has to go through the country's government - placing more strain on state finances.
In Ireland's case, the government's attempts to rescue failing banks forced it into a bailout. Some fear Spain could face that fate, too.
But Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, wary of using taxpayers' money to prop up other countries' banks, tried to stop the plan, insisting that creating the supervisor should be done slowly and that "quality must come before speed".
'Worst is over'
The agreement includes all 6,000 banks, as France had wanted. But there is no firm deadline for the single supervisor to be up and running - other than to say that the "objective'" is to finish the legal framework by January 1, and that work on its operational implementation "will take place during the course of 2013".
Herman Van Rompuy, European Council president, said the single supervisor would "probably" be up and running next year.
"It is not because you vote on a law that you have the whole logistic framework in place the day after," Van Rompuy said.
Despite the lack of a deadline, Francois Hollande, French President hailed the agreement. "The worst is over,'' he said, referring to the crisis that the European Union experienced.
However, there are still more issues under debate at the summit, which runs until Friday.
Merkel is pushing a proposal for the European Union's monetary affairs commissioner to become an enforcer of the bloc's budget rules - including the power to refuse member countries' proposed spending and tax plans and send them back for changes.
Germany hopes that having a "budget czar" - a move that's been debated about for months - will help keep Europe from repeating past mistakes by stopping governments from overspending and needing expensive bailouts.
But some countries, such as France, are wary of handing control over their finances to unelected officials in a foreign capital.
On arrival on Thursday, Hollande brushed off the suggestion as simply not on the table at this summit.
Al Jazeera's Nick Spicer, reporting from Brussels, said ahead of the talks: "The body language of Merkel and [French President Francois] Hollande did not bode well... Merkel does not want to do anything in her election year in 2013."
With unemployment in the region at a record 10.5 percent, and growth grinding to a halt around the continent, the back-and-forth is beginning to frustrate some European officials. Jose Manuel Barroso, who is president of the EU's executive arm, the European Commission, criticised the heel-dragging ahead of the meeting.
With no relief in sight for Spain, the question of whether it will ask for a bailout itself still looms.
The government in Madrid said this week that it would decide in the coming weeks, although it is still hoping it can avoid asking for any kind of aid.
"It would be helpful ... if Spain asked for ESM (European Stability Mechanism) aid,'' said Van Rompuy.
"But it is up to Spain to make up its mind."
Leaders also praised the progress it said Greece had made towards reforming its economy and balancing its budget, though, without a new report by international lenders, no decision could be taken on badly needed continued aid for the country.
On Thursday, rioters in Greece pelted police with Molotov cocktails and chunks of marble in protest against the stringent budget cuts the country has had to implement in order to secure its rescue loans.
Greece's bailout creditors - the EU, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank - have been engaged in tough negotiations in recent weeks over more budget cuts.

Review: Janeane Garofalo in Toronto
I admit: despite adoring Janeane Garofalo's early standup, I had no idea what to expect from her performance at Toronto's Comedy Bar on Thursday night.
Would this be the same Janeane whose 1997 story about witnessing a businessman hit by a cab in New York made me laugh so hard, that when I visited the city for the first time, I went to the strip of Sixth Ave. where it happened like a low-rent comedy nerd pilgrimage? (Yes, this is true.)
Or would this be a purely political Janeane, the Air America host whose image as an outspoken Tea Party-hater has almost overshadowed her comedy?
I was fully prepared for a maybe ranty, maybe preachy, maybe not as funny as she used to be Janeane.
And boy, do I feel silly.
Garofalo was engaging and fun in the early Thursday show, the first of a six-show sold-out run this weekend. Yes, this is essentially the same Janeane we fell in love with in the '90s.
She started her set talking about Downton Abbey, simply because it was on her mind, setting the tone for a casual show. Topics ranged from life issues like not wanting kids due to the "diminishing returns" after they turn seven or eight, to her Food Network addiction, and back to the "middle-class luxury" of self-improvement you-can-do-anything mantras.
Some material was structured around the stack of printed pieces she brought on stage with her, like showing us the heavily-anthropomorphized fundraising mailer she received from the Sierra Club. Some of it was spontaneous and chatty, and it became hard to tell where the riffing ended and the prepared material began. If she ventured down a path without a joke – happened twice at this show – she called herself on it, which of course got laughs.
Ideas seem to uniformly pass through her brain like a Play-Doh Fun Factory. Her take on things is simply her take on things, and it doesn't matter if the ideas are a bit incongruous. At the top of her set, she can explain how spending money on cosmetics at Sephora seemingly has the potential to solve all of life's problems (agreed), and an hour later point out the ridiculous standards of fashion magazines. You get what you get. Even when she touches on politics, her opinions aren't ranty, but simply run through that same filter (eg: "Stephen Harper's Cabinet Shuffle" would make a great band name).
Often, those citing a comic's strong "voice" are using the word as shorthand for a drastically novel perspective or delivery style. With Garofalo, it's just a clear – yet effortless in appearance – sense of who she is and what her outlook is.
She was charming, to boot. She tolerated – and politely engaged – the obnoxious Venezuelan woman and her friends in the front row, who seemed convinced they should respond to everything she said. Some members of the audience tried to shut them up, but Garofalo maintained the patience of a saint, not even chiding them for setting their purses on the stage (the nerve!) or collectively filing out to the bathroom mid-set.
Judging by the number of audience members who whined "nooo!" when she said she was wrapping up, I wasn't alone in being sold on Garofalo all over again.
Host Nile Seguin threw down the standard emcee line of telling the audience that Garofalo was in the back and to "give it up" for her, but revealed she actually hadn't arrived yet due to the show's producer getting pulled over en route for making an illegal left. Also, can we as a society co-opt his line "you dizzy Muppet" as slang for idiot? Please?
Arthur Simeon's stand-out bit about Canadian immigration being merged with Tim Horton's destroyed, and came with a tag that destroyed just as hard (though in my opinion, his otherwise-killer closer about being black on the TTC would be stronger if he shaved off the last few lines).
Scott Thompson, who starred with Garofalo on The Larry Sanders Show, talked about his role on the new show Hannibal, before launching into some graphic gay material: bathhouses, fetishes… just a whole lot of cock in general. Essentially doing late show material for an early show audience, Thompson had an uphill battle that he almost won by the time he left the stage.
3 Responses to Review: Janeane Garofalo in Toronto
Thanks for the great review. I was at the same show (Janeane "forgave" our daughter her lactose intolerance) and have to agree with your impressions on all points. She was a delight from start to finish, and I just don't know how she was able to repeat that another five times before the end of the night Saturday!
As far as I know, yours was inexplicably the only media attention her performance got in the city (pending this week's NOW, if they are still as relevant as they think they are). She deserves better than that!
Then you must have been in downtown Venezuela, lucky you! Janeane accommodated them well, I thought.
Thanks for the heads up re: JFL in the fall. It likely won't have the wonderfully intimate vibe that this show had, but I'll watch for it just the same.
