Preamble: This might sound familiar - if it doesn't, no one wants to hear it smarty pants - I'm just now getting to ________ technology. In the world of development, I'm always a beginner at something and between us, that might be the hardest part and the most interesting part (that's what we're supposed to say, right?).
What: Wrote a Dockerfile to make a containerized website someone else made (see todo #2 below), used Terraform to plan, apply, and launch to S3, incorporated the world's simplest Selenium-based unit and integration tests, and made a nod to using Jenkins for a deployment pipeline.
Why: I'm using all of these tools and need a better idea of how they all work, their syntax, and how to update projects that use them, write original projects with them, etc. It's part of my job today, and I see it being important in the future.
If you build it, then you have at least some concept of how to build it again, build it better, and have a surface conversation about it. Just imagine how many people would cling to my every word at a cocktail party.... well, I guess it depends on the party. 🤓
How: I took a handly little course on LinkedIn with plenty of outdated dependencies, some command strings that I had to get help on, and even an .env file to keep my secrets secret. I went at least 15% out of my way to complete it so here's my brag article. BOOM!
What now? Well, I'd like to combine this project with another project/tutorial/class to replace the "someone else's website" with something I've built and customized and finish up the parts that weren't included in the 2.5 hours total of video instruction.
One day later, I'm ripping through lines on a Dockerfile on a work project. Tearing out all references to a platform that I no longer want loading in this container. I move into the Terraform files and do the same. This is why I take these courses, and why I am sharing only the non-NDA work I can get done in my scant free time outside of work.

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller,” Ibn Battuta
Egypt’s second-largest city feels as Mediterranean and cosmopolitan as Marseille or Athens. Known for its époque buildings and grand squares it was once a very fashionable city. Although it charms have faded a little, it’s still a must-see destination in Egypt.
For peace and quiet head for the regal Montazah Palace Gardens or for your history and architecture fix try Citadel of Qaitbay, an impressive looking 15th-century fortress. Alternatively, choose one of the many antique coffee houses and sip coffee and puff on a water pipe while looking out over the Mediterranean sea.
A highlight of many a traveller to Egypt, Sharm el Sheik is a holiday resort filled with luxury hotels, casinos, nightclubs and tourists getting their sun, sea and sand fix. Sharm el-Sheikh holidays are very popular although the real beauty of this area is the Red Sea.
The Red Sea has clear azure waters and an incredible amount of exotic fish and coral – which is why is so highly regarded as a diving destination. In fact, it arguably offers some of the best diving and snorkelling experiences in the world. Get hold of some scuba gear (and an experienced instructor) and take a look for yourself – you won’t regret it.
Dahab is a laid-back resort town located on the Southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula. This beautiful town attracts both hippies and travellers who want to stay in a peaceful location in Egypt that isn’t packed with tourists year-round. We love Dahab because of the incredible natural beauty of the place and it’s easily one of the most beautiful resorts in Egypt.
You will enjoy the golden sandy beaches with incredible ocean views that stretch across the Gulf to Saudi Arabia’s Hijaz Mountains. There is plenty of beauty under the water as well, with corals and marine fauna, which is why Dahab is considered one of the best locations for scuba diving and snorkelling on the peninsula.
The famous Blue Hole is also located near Dahab — a gaping sinkhole carved into a reef. Its beautiful sparkling-blue water is an amazing sight. You can also venture into the Bedouin desert to the West of Dahab. It is a serene location with plenty of places to explore.
Marsa Alam is another gorgeous resort town to discover in Egypt. Situated on the Red Sea, it’s renowned for its pristine beaches and numerous coral reefs. Abu Dabab Bay is one of the most popular locations for visitors to Marsa Alam. It is a U-shaped natural bay with crystal clear water and plenty of wildlife, including turtles, dugongs, and dolphins.
The Wadi el-Gemal National Park is just south of the town. It is a large park with a varied landscape that includes islands, desert, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. You can spend many days exploring this national park and marvelling at its spectacular beauty.


Testing Labeling Icons
This exercise seeks to find the best method to give a text alternative to an SVG icon, whether it is used alone or inside of an anchor or button.
Text alternatives described the shape of the icons: "circle", "square", "triangle".
Three different methods were tried:
- Accessibly hiding a text alternative in a span
- Using the SVG title element
- Using aria-label
The conclusion seems to be that:
- accessibly hidden text is the most reliable
- SVG's title element is only supported in IE
- aria-label isn't supported at all in non-actionable elements
- in VO for iOS anchors without text inside are undiscoverable (therefore using aria-label is pointless)
- By the way, using aria-label on an actionable that has text will read the aria-label INSTEAD of the text.
Three tables of results can be found at the botom of the page.

Hubble NASA/ESA/STScI, Hester & Scowen (Arizona State University) The most-loved of all NASA spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope has name recognition around the world. Its photos have changed the way everyday people figure themselves into the cosmos. The observatory has also radically changed science, making breakthroughs on astronomical issues too numerous to count. By finally sending up an optical telescope to peer at the sky from beyond Earth's turbulent atmosphere, NASA developed a tool that could reveal stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies in all their fully-detailed glory.

June, 2005
The Program Center operates the two level IDD relay nodes, one at the Unidata Program Center offices in Boulder (idd.unidata.ucar.edu also known as thelma.ucar.edu), and one at the ATM offices of NSF in Arlington, Virginia (atm.geo.nsf.gov). The NSF/ATM node represents the class of machine that has long been used in the IDD for relaying high volume datastreams. The machine hosted in Boulder, on the other hand, represents a new approach we are taking towards data relay: it is a cluster composed of a director (a machine that forwards IDD feed requests to other machines) and several data servers (machines that are fed requests by the director) that service data requests. The director relays feed requests to a data server using the the IP Virtual Server (IPVS) facility that is a standard part of the 2.6 kernel in current versions of Linux.
The cluster we have built, depicted in the figure at the right, is currently composed of four Sun SunFire V20Z 1U rackmount servers. All of the machines are identically configured with dual 2 Ghz AMD Opteron processors, two 36 GB 10K RPM SCSI hard disks, dual Gbps Ethernet interfaces, and each runs the 64-bit version of Fedora Core 3 (FC3) Linux. The director is configured with 4 GB of RAM, and the data servers are each configured with 12 GB of RAM. The cost of these machines was modest: $3000 for the director and $4800 for each data server; all were purchased under a Sun educational discount program. These SunFire V20Z machines have proven to be stellar performers as IDD data relays.
We plan to replace the V20Z director with redundant Dell PowerEdge 2850 rackmount servers which are less costly (approx. $2200) since that they have much less memory. directors do not need to be nearly as well configured as the data servers in processing power or memory.
We chose 64-bit FC3 Linux after head-to-head comparisons of three operating systems (OS) running on identical hardware. The other OSes tested were Sun Solaris x86 10 and FreeBSD 5.3. All three OSes tested are 64-bit. In our testing, FC3 emerged as the clear winner; FreeBSD was second; and Solaris x86 10 was a distant third.
Since we have learned a great deal about how to maximize the relay performance of the data servers during our last three months of testing, we plan to revisit use of Sun Solaris x86 10, FreeBSD 5.3, and try the newly released 64-bit Fedora Core 4 version of Linux.
As indicated earlier, the cluster is seen as one machine, the director, idd.unidata.ucar.edu, to the outside world. This machine is running IPVS along with LDM 6.3.0 configured to run on a second Ethernet interface (different IP address). The IPVS director forwards port 388 requests to the data servers each of which are configured to be known internally as idd.unidata.ucar.edu. Since the data servers do not ARP, they are not seen as idd.unidata.ucar.edu by the outside world. The IPVS software keeps track of how many IDD feed connections are active on each of the data servers and "load levels" based on the number of those connections. We will be experimenting with load leveling approaches other than numbers of connections (e.g., weighted average of system load on each box) as we continue our experimentation. Since the data servers are configured identically: same RAM, same LDM queue size (8 GB currently), same ldmd.conf contents, etc., the expectation is that machines will receive the same data regardless of which node is feeding them.
Currently, all connection requests from a downstream machine are sent to the same data server as long as the downstream's last successful connection did not terminate more than one minute prior to the new request. This setup allows downstream LDMs to send "are you alive" queries to the same server that they have not received data from in the past minute. Once there have been no feed requests by a downstream host for one minute, new requests will be forwarded to the data server that is servicing the fewest number of connections.
This cluster design allows us to take down any of the data servers for whatever maintenance is needed (hardware replacement, software upgrades, etc.) whenever we need to make changes. When a data server goes down or is taken offline, the IPVS server is automatically informed that the server is no longer available, and all downstream feed requests are sent to the other active data servers.
In one test setup, we operated two directors, thelma.ucar.edu and idd.unidata.ucar.edu, located on different LANs within UCAR, and had both directors sent feed requests the same set of data servers. The success of this experiment has left us with the expectation that a large "virtual machine" composed of geographically distributed directors and data servers could be constructed (with appropriate cooperation of IT groups in charge of the various LANs involved). We plan to further explore this possibility after we identify university Unidata community members that would like to participate in distributed testing.
The cluster currently relays an average of 130 Mbps (~1.4 TB/day) to approximately 215 downsteam connections. Peak relay rates routinely exceed 250 Mbps (2.7 TB/day).
Stress testing the cluster using two data servers have lead us believe that we could field literally every IDD feed request in the world if needed thus creating an "ultimate" failover site. The beauty of the cluster approach is if the load on the data servers ever becomes too high, all we need do is add one or more additional boxes to the mix.
During a recent 3 day stress test (figures below), we were able to push an average of 500 Mbps (5.4 TB/day) of data to downstreams without introduction of latency. Since the director and data servers were essentially idling during this test, we believe that, if necessary, we could push rates up to the limit of our 1 Gbps LAN and routers.
Below are some graphics depicting our 3 day stress test.


What's in City Press Voices: Boks win: Unity or farce?;
- Modidima Mannya says the idea that rugby is a symbol of unity of new SA is a fallacy as the Springboks emblem continues to represent Afrikaner supremacy.
- Yonela Diko says EFF’s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi’s dismissal of progress made since our first win in 1995 offends in the greatest of senses the people who fought for where were are.
The ugly side of politics
Nothing is as divisive to the ANC as is elective conferences, where contestations for positions pits comrade against comrade, argues Benzi ka-Soko.
Time for the DA to end this hypocrisy
The official opposition cannot win national elections without a great proportion of black votes. Maimane was aware of the need to get black votes, but in the process he lost the white right-wing votes to the FF+, writes Omry Makgoale.
Let’s support good ideas and run with them
Gayle Edmunds argues that instead, while we use the 16 Days of Activism to highlight the enduring desire of men to harm women and children, let’s also support smart ideas that create ways for women to be economically independent and to get access to the services that support them emotionally.
We are on the back foot on digital privacy

Our best projects
Death Star
The Death Star, known officially as the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station, also known as the Death Star I, the First Death Star, Project Stardust internally, and simply the Ultimate Weapon in early development stages, is a moon-sized, deep-space mobile battle station constructed by the Galactic Empire.
Imperial walker
The All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) is a quadrupedal walker utilized by the Galactic Empire after the fall of the Galactic Republic. With a height of 22.5 meters the walker relied heavily on intimidation.
Clone troopers
Clone troopers are highly trained soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic. Bred from the genetic template of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, clone troopers represent the latest evolution in galactic warfare, largely due to their superiority over battle droids.


The goal of this project was to create a Raspberry Pi driven device that could float on water and retrieve temperature (or PH, depending on sensor used) values at different depths, as well as demonstrating web hosting to serve the data in a readable format. Using entirely free software and inexpensive hardware, this configuration can be implemented anywhere for research or academic purposes.
This webpage is run by a python microframework called flask, based on Werkzueg and Jinja 2, as well as JQuery. The line graph is run by a open source Javascript and JQuery based plugin called Chart.js, available under the MIT license. The website is done with bootstrap framework.

On a system with the system manager as process #1, startup and shutdown operate (in broad overview) as follows.
system-manager
performs process setup, a few inescapable items of system setup, starts the service manager and a logger for it, and enters the main system management state machine.
It will restart the service manager and logger if they exit before system shutdown is initiated.
The service manager process and its logger process are joined, standard output+error to standard input, via a pipe.
The system manager keeps an open file descriptor for this pipe, so that its contents aren't lost in the event of a logger restart.
The initialization action of the system management state machine is to spawn a process that runs system-control init arguments
where arguments are the arguments passed to the system manager itself at bootstrap.
They will usually be flags such as -b
or -s
, to indicate "emergency" and "rescue" (formerly known as "single-user") modes.
In normal mode, system-control
simply sends SIGRTMIN + 10
to process #1, followed by SIGRTMIN + 0
.
In rescue mode it sends SIGRTMIN + 10
, followed by SIGRTMIN + 1
.
In emergency mode it sends just SIGRTMIN + 2
.
In response to SIGRTMIN + 10
the system management state machine spawns system-control start sysinit
.
system-control
activates the "sysinit" target.
This is a special system target that is expected to bring up "sysinit" services, and encompasses targets such as "local-fs".
After the target is started, the system is expected to have performed fundamental initialization tasks such as:
mounting /usr
and /var
(if necessary),
remounting /
read-write,
ensuring that /etc/machine-id
is set,
loading kernel modules for things like IPv6 and local-domain sockets,
squirrelling away the boot log somewhere,
initializing the dynamic library loader, and
bringing the system console TTY's line discipline into a "sane" state.
Note that fundamental initialization cannot rely upon a writable root filesystem or the presence of the filesystems that contain the bundle directories for "regular" services.
So all "sysinit" services and targets have to have supervise directories under /run/service-bundles/early-supervise/
.
And this is a separate step from starting the "normal" target later, even though that indirectly encompasses the "sysinit" target and would thus be expected to start all this, because at this point the service/target ordering and dependency mechanism might not even find "regular" services.
So the "sysinit" target has to be started explicitly first, just to make it possible to find and load all other "regular" services and targets.
In response to SIGRTMIN + 0
, SIGRTMIN + 1
, or SIGRTMIN + 2
the system management state machine spawns system-control start
with the normal
, rescue
, or emergency
target respectively.
system-control
activates the "normal", "rescue", or "emergency" targets, as if by system-control start
.
By now, /usr
and /var
are mounted, and the service/target ordering and dependency system will find all "regular" services and targets encompassed by these targets.
The administrator runs system-control halt
, system-control poweroff
, system-control reboot
, or some other utility.
The utility sends the appropriate signal to process #1.
(On BSD, these are the same signals as issued by the BSD shutdown
command, for compatibility with that command.
On Linux, these are the systemd signals.)
The administrator must have run system-control
as the superuser in order to have permission to send signals to process #1.
In response to the signal the system management state machine spawns system-control start target
where target is "halt", "reboot", or "poweroff".
system-control
starts the named target.
All of these targets encompass the "shutdown" target, and as standard all "regular" services are marked as conflicting with that target (causing them to be stopped if it is started) and to be stopped before it is started.
All of these targets encompass the "unmount" target, and as standard all "mount@" services are marked as conflicting with that target (causing them to be stopped if it is started) and to be stopped before it is started.
The "halt", "reboot", and "poweroff" targets are finally started.
They are ordered to be started after the "shutdown" and "unmount" targets have been started.
Their start
programs invoke system-control halt --force
, system-control poweroff --force
, or system-control reboot --force
, as appropriate.
system-control
sends a different signal to process #1.
(These are the systemd signals on both BSD and Linux, as there is no BSD mechanism to be compatible with, here.)
In response to the signal the system management state machine attempts to terminate the service manager and its logger dæmon. All services should have been shut down already, but the service manager attempts to shut down all services that it manages when it is told to terminate. The logger dæmon is expected to close when it reaches EOF on the pipe that is attached to its standard input, which happens after the service manager process closes and the system manager (process #1) closes its open file descriptor for the write end of the pipe.
The system management state machine at last enters its final state, halting, rebooting, or powering off the machine directly with the appropriate system calls, after asking the kernel to flush the filesystem cache to disc.


At Least 1 Killed, Several Injured as Tank Explodes in Syria's Banias Oil Refinery - Report
The blast reportedly occurred during an overhaul of one of the oil storage tanks at the Banias Refinery, killing at least one person.
According to Syria's oil minister Ali Ghanem, cited by the Ikhbariya broadcaster, one worker was killed and an engineer was injured in the refinery during maintenance operations. The explosion reportedly occurred during the welding of one of the oil tanks.
According to earlier media reports, several people were injured after an explosion in one of the largest oil refineries in Syria.
Earlier this year, several submerged pipelines were damaged in a purported act of underwater sabotage near the coastal town of Banias.
Before the 2011 eruption of a civil war, Syria reportedly produced some 350,000 barrels of crude per day, exporting over half. According to Syrian officials, cited by media, the current daily output has tumbled to just 24,000 barrels a day, mostly due to the ongoing civil war and Western sanctions against Damascus.

It is common to want to know the Euclidean distance between origins and destinations
in OD data. You can calculate this by first converting OD data to SpatialLines data,
e.g. with od2line()
. However this can be slow and overkill if you just
want to know the distance. This function is a few orders of magnitude faster.
od_dist(flow, zones)
| flow | A data frame representing the flow between two points
or zones. The first two columns of this data frame should correspond
to the first column of the data in the zones. Thus in |
|---|---|
| zones | A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame or SpatialPointsDataFrame representing origins (and destinations if no separate destinations object is provided) of travel flows. |
Note: this function assumes that the zones or centroids in cents
have a geographic
(lat/lon) CRS.

by Sarthak SharmaManchester United take on Sheffield United in the Premier League this weekend in a tricky outing at Bramball Lane, and the Red Devils have already been struck a major blow in terms of fitness.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed ahead of the game that Scott McTominay has not been able to shrug off an injury suffered before the International break, and that Paul Pogba is far from fit as well.
Scott will be out for a little while, still, Ole said to MUTV.
He has not been training with us, he is still recovering and, hopefully, we can see him, maybe, around the time of Tottenham or [Manchester] City. We don’t know yet. he heals quickly, Scotty, but he is not going to be ready for Sheffield United or Astana, definitely. Probably not [Aston] Villa either.
The United boss also spoke about the fitness levels of Paul Pogba.
Paul is improving. Obviously he has been out and, when you are in a cast for that long, you do lose your muscle, so gradually you have to step it up. He has not started on his football work yet so it will still be a little while before we see him.
United face a tough run of games with matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City still to come this year.

Extinction is the process in which groups of organisms die out. If over an extended period of time the birth rate of a species is less than the death rate, then extinction will eventually occur. To learn more check out:

You will get to know your task on this tutorial page. Please read carefully and try out the task on this page before proceeding to the actual study.
You are a manager supervising the sales of a group of stores across TODO regions. Each region has 200 stores. Your job is to make judgment calls now and pick out the promising regions where the average store is making a profit (profit > 0). So far, however, you've only received sales data for 20 random stores (out of 200) in each region. To help you evaluate the regional profits with incomplete data, your business analyst used statistics and created plots, like the ones shown on the right.
Keep in mind that each graph only show sales data from the 20 random stores, out of the 200 stores in each region. So even if the average store is making profit in the graph, the other stores in the region might be loosing a lot of money. It is up to you to assess if the all the stores in the region are making profits on average.
Once you have tried picking out the profitable regions below, you can compare your judgment to the actual data on the next screen.
Your job of picking out profitable regions without full sets of data is risky. You will win or lose corporate brownie points based on the rules below, and of course your goal is to maximize your points for the next promotion (and bonus pay).
Click on the regions you think are making a profit. Keep in mind that each graph only show sales data from the 20 random stores, out of the 200 stores in each region. You can click on multiple stores.

Have anyone noticed that weekends are most productive in Komodo platform for development?

that bitcore branch of that repo has Zcash 2.0.0 + bitcore, it could have other gems

@jl777c perhaps my "iterating backwards" trick no longer works
jl777c25-Nov-18 07:07 PM
it is getting 100+ entries, but I think it is just the local wallet entries. i got it to iterate the local wallet addresses. the DB code is just so far from what I usually work on...
dukeleto25-Nov-18 07:08 PM
the DB code is a strange place
reading thru the code in wo01 (which is pretty nice, succinct, less code that does the same), I don't see them doing things in a different way, other than using a normal forward iterator

@ComputerGenie was that 645K or 324K ARRR in holdings (edited)? When it was $.14 that's over $90,000. Wow. Seriously impressive. I was holding over 10K ARRR at DP waiting to sell until I heard that keeping balances at an Exchange isn't a smart idea since that holding wallet isn't yours. Seems obvious to you old pros but the simple rule I just learned was if you don't have the password for the wallet then it isn't yours so don't treat it like it is yours for holding. (And based on all the warnings of these desktop wallets for other coins like SCRIV it seems even then one needs to be careful of malware. Yikes)

Pirate (ARRR) is a real privacy coin that takes financial privacy very serious This sentence makes me cringe.
My suggestion would be (happy to hear peoples thoughts or additions):
Pirate, the privacy coin. This is simple and to the point.
Other suggestions could be:
Pirate (ARRR) is a coin that addresses the issue of financial privacy through the use of anonymous transactions.
or
Pirate (ARRR) addresses financial privacy on the blockchain through the use of anonymous transactions.

ComputerGenie 👴👴👴26-Nov-18 03:45 AM
@burbank It's RKT (a test coin), not ARRR, which is why I made the comment about not having value and a weather caused blackout glitched my db causing the initial count to double (hence the edit)
As for ARRR:
I have a good chunk of holding in my own wallet for security...
I gave a portion of my earnings to an exchange (and yes, you're giving it to them) -- a tradable amount...
If you ever don't trust the proper wallet of a given coin then you shouldn't be anywhere near that coin...(edited)

@NutellaLicka write up a paragraph for the front page. If it’s good we’ll use it.
It’s been a hard task getting the dev, me and others all on the same page.
I need to do writing for the website before we finish.
NutellaLicka26-Nov-18 04:23 AM
I don't mean to offend. I just think there is a bit of work to do, and I thought I'd throw a suggestion out there rather than just sit back and criticise!

I need to write something solid for the front page. I’ve been uninspired.
No criticism taken.

Pirate, the privacy coin.
Pirate (ARRR) is a cryptocurrency that solves the issue of financial privacy on the blockchain by forcing anonymous transactions. Using ZK-Snarks, 100% of peer-to-peer transactions are shielded. Meaning, no data from a transaction is given and complete anonymity is retained.
Pirate uses a privacy protocol that cannot be compromised by other users network activity.
As other privacy coins offer the choice to use regular or shielded addresses, complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed. This privacy compromise is due to data correlation between regular and shielded transactions that can be tracked quite easily. Pirate forces shielded transactions, providing no ability to leak information.
In order to 51% attack Pirate, you would have to first 51% attack Bitcoin.
Komodo's delayed Proof of Work (dPoW) {link this website: https://komodoplatform.com/security-delayed-proof-of-work-dpow/} protects Pirate's blockchain against double spends and 51% attacks. Simply put, a backup of the ARRR chain is written into a block on the Bitcoin blockchain every 10 minutes and can be restored if needed. An attacker would need to compromise the Bitcoin blockchain to destroy the backups, prior to compromising the ARRR chain.
This provides complete security against double spends and hostile takeovers, causing them to be extremely costly and near impossible.(edited)
Komodo Platform is the world leader in blockchain solutions. This post discusses Delayed Proof of Work (dPoW), Komodo's innovative security mechanism.

I have to do scripts for a “why pirate” video and one for a “why privacy” video.
I like what you wrote.
NutellaLicka26-Nov-18 05:02 AM
Personally, I think the front page has too many fluffy words. If people want to take this seriously, it needs to be informative, to the point, and not contain too much technical jargon (I have kept ZK-snarks in there, not sure if it should stay).
FishyGuts26-Nov-18 05:03 AM
Sometimes my brain fries. Spending 4 hours answering interview questions drains me for days. Blackbeard’s interview was 7 pages when I was done typing.
I like what you wrote. We haven’t hard coded the site because I don’t have verbiage.
 You may even benefit from having a couple of people aboard with you to help task shed
FishyGuts26-Nov-18 05:07 AM
Certainly. There have been great people helping contribute. The delegation and assistance need will only grow with time.
I would say that not including devs, there’s about 25 people including pool ops doing things for pirate.
You see sometimes I also have a hard time with perspective.
It’s nice to hear and use others writings on the subjects we need to cover as I find it difficult to detach my knowledge from the project. I always assume people know more than they do.
Then it’s a tough balance@of overexplaining things.
NutellaLicka26-Nov-18 05:09 AM
Yeah I am excited for the things to come
It sure is, a fresh perspective is always good
FishyGuts26-Nov-18 05:09 AM
Glad to have your wording above. And if you or ANYONE else wants to help I appreciate it.
NutellaLicka26-Nov-18 05:09 AM
I'm no English major, so I'd love someone to proof read and adjust if required
FishyGuts26-Nov-18 05:09 AM
I really could use help on the animated videos we’re building.
I need a 1-2 minute script on “what is pirate?”
And another 1-2 minute script on why privacy in crypto is important.
I do pay bounties and spiffs for all the help and work people out in.
NutellaLicka26-Nov-18 05:11 AM
I think to start creating videos, there needs to be solid graphics, and a solid website. That way, any marketing efforts aren't wasted when they go to the website and get confused, or see it as unprofessional and not something they'd want to be interested in.
FishyGuts26-Nov-18 05:11 AM
I have video guys. Ad a voice guy.
I need the scripts and we need the website ironed out. Your verbiage helps. With wording we can update everything to our secure site.
NutellaLicka26-Nov-18 05:11 AM
I think the logo and all the graphics that are created now are great btw (edited)

FishyGuts26-Nov-18 05:12 AM
I agree.
We have backgrounds and stuff for the site. I just need to write the proper wording.
I’ll get it into the webdevs hands@tonight.

NutellaLicka26-Nov-18 05:17 AM
Too easy.
Seriously looking for someone to write scripts for those videos I mentioned above.
Will throw ARRR at the used script. Or if you guys want to make a group to do it that’s fine too
Mixic26-Nov-18 05:56 AM
@FishyGuts need a script for a video? tell me more please. I missed these messages
FishyGuts26-Nov-18 06:01 AM
I have two video producers making videos for our site.
I need scripts@for their videos to give@to the voice and video guys.
One video is about Pirate in general. Refer to getmonero.org and their explainer video.
I also want another video on privacy and why we need/deserve it.
Both about 1-2 minutes.(edited)
Those are for the privacy video and @Mr. HashEm if you used these for the pirate video that would be cool. @Strob is the one providing them for his production.
Perhaps you two could work together if needed to provide fluidity to the videos.
Full credit to yourselves/production companies is welcome at the end of the video.

Mercedes-AMG's 2021 GLE 63 S gets 603 horsepower from the family V8
It packs the same chassis upgrades as the GLS 63 S
by Ronan GlonMercedes-AMG delivered a one-two punch at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show by unveiling the GLE 63 S alongside the bigger Mercedes-AMG GLS 63. Both SUVs offer enthusiasts a healthy serving of V8 power.
AMG's two newest high-performance SUVs both wear the 63 suffix, and that's not a coincidence; they're powered by the same engine. While the nameplate no longer denotes a 6.3-liter engine, it signals the presence of a twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 rated at 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. There's also a 48-volt starter-generator that adds 21 horses and 184 pound-feet of twist in short bursts. 4Matic all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission come standard.
The GLE takes 3.7 seconds to reach 60 mph from a stop, a figure that makes it nearly half a second quicker than its bigger sibling, and puts it in the same ballpark as many smaller, lighter sports cars. AMG promised the 48-volt mild hybrid system and its cylinder shut-off technology make the GLE more efficient than its impressive performance specifications suggest.
An adaptive air suspension filters out road imperfections before they reach the occupants' spines. The system automatically lowers the ride height by 0.4 inches when the GLE goes above 75 mph, or when the driver selects one of the three AMG-designed driving modes. This yields a small improvement in fuel economy by reducing drag, and it improves handling by lowering the center of gravity. Alternatively, two driving modes named Trail and Sand, respectively, raise the suspension by about two inches to ensure rocks and ruts don't have a costly encounter with the V8's oil pan.
The 48-volt system also powers AMG's Active Ride Control technology, which keeps body lean in check, and maintains the body level when driving on an uneven road. Speed-sensitive power steering and bigger brakes on both axles (including 16-inch front calipers) are also part of the package. All told, the GLE and the GLS share much more than a nameplate.
The exterior updates are reasonably subtle, which is par for the course for Mercedes-Benz's go-fast division. The 63 S stands out from the regular GLE with a full body kit that adds AMG's Panamericana grille, new-look lower bumpers on both sides, side skirts, and 21-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the AMG treatment brings sport seats for the front passengers, plus model-specific graphics for the digital instrument cluster and the touchscreen-based MBUX infotainment system.
The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S will begin arriving in American showrooms in the middle of 2020. Pricing information and fuel economy figures won't be released until closer to its on-sale date.

Fred RogersLatrobe, Pennsylvania is responsible for two main exports worthy of note: Rolling Rock bottled beer, and America's best loved television neighbor, Mister Rogers. Frederick McFeely Rogers was born in 1928, a year before the stock market crash brought about the Great Depression. His company, Family Communications, made over one thousand television programs at the studios of WQED in Pittsburgh; each designed to help children understand our often baffling world. He wasn't an actor, but a child development specialist who gave children the confidence to talk about their feelings, express themselves through art, and imagine make-believe worlds. His offscreen lifestyle was identical to that of his television persona: a reassuring adult who was not only happy to sit and talk, but one who managed to live out his entire life without the slightest whisper of scandal -- unless you count one the time he nearly missed a hole while buttoning up his cardigan. He wrote the scripts, the music, the dialog between players, and all the songs in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The program started in 1968, and ultimately became longest-running program on PBS. The opening theme, Won't You Be My Neighbor, is meant as a genuine invitation
to the viewer. Each program conforms to a simple pattern, with all of
Mister Rogers' actions encouraging a deeper understanding of the outside world.
The act of arriving onstage in a formal suit and tie, then changing into both
a colorful sweater and beige or navy blue loafers is meant to mirror
what a child witnesses as his parents leave for work in the morning and come
home at night. Each visit begins with an introductory discussion of something
he's brought along with him: art supplies, a kite, sticks of chalk, even a bear
costume. Several times a week, Mister Rogers inserts a reel of 8mm film or a videotape into Picture Picture, a multimedia home entertainment system so-called because the central viewing rectangle is centered inside two gold picture frames. He shows hypnotic, supremely watchable documentary segments where kids get to see how everyday things -- pretzels, pencil erasers, teddy bears, toothbrushes -- are assembled by daunting machinery inside industrial factories, packaged by hand, and shipped to the neighborhood corner stores across America. Fred went to Latrobe High School and started college at Dartmouth in New Hampshire, before transferring in 1951 to Rollins College, a liberal arts institution and the oldest recognized college in Florida. Here he earned a degree in music composition. From there, he had planned to go on to the seminary -- but before he could do so, he got a chance to see something relatively new at his parents' house, something called a "television". Well, Fred thought television was perfectly horrible. He had never seen anything so fumbling or poorly executed. He promptly announced to his family that he wasn't going into the seminary after all, he'd be doing television instead -- he'd seen enough, and now he wanted to dip his hands in it. He went to NBC, where he worked his way up the ladder, delivering coffees. He worked as a floor director on The Gabby Hayes Show, a showcase of Western films. He also maintained sets and stages for The Lucky Strike Hit Parade, The Kate Smith Hour, and NBC Opera Theatre. It was here that he learned that television -- when done correctly -- could be a very intimate medium, and he wondered if the best way to deliver messages to untold thousands of people over live TV might be as simple as pretending there was only one lonely child out there watching the screen. In July of 1952, Fred married Joanne Byrd, whom he'd met at Rollins. The next year they moved to Pittsburgh, where Fred decided to help start America's first community-sponsored television station, WQED. There was a lot of paper folding, envelope stuffing, and solicitation for donations -- and at the time, there were only six people trying to get "educational television" on the air. He worked with a perky young actress named Josie Carey, and together they created the station's first regular educational program, The Children's Corner. This was a charming, beautiful program which featured lively, improvised discussions between Josie and a number of Fred's puppet characters -- many of whom would later become regulars in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. Fred worked behind the scenes, giving each puppet voice characterizations and a personality. The most notable was Daniel Striped Tiger who lived in a clock. He was originally going to be a cuckoo bird, but an error in communication with a prop manager produced a tiger puppet instead. Henrietta Pussycat also came into existence, but she could only say three phrases punctuated by "meows": telephone, beautiful, and Mister Rogers. X the Owl represented Fred's scatterbrained side, while King Friday was official and pompous -- an easily understood metaphor for powerful authoritative systems like government and the police department. "We would talk," Josie remembers. "And we were only supposed to do two or three minutes of material, but some days it would be so interesting we wouldn't stop. And we'd ask each other on the air, me and the puppets, whether or not we were having an intellectual conversation.  It was live TV, and since Fred had to run quickly and quietly behind the scenes (back and forth between puppet stages) before each broadcast he'd take off his shoes and change into sneakers, a habit which stayed with him throughout his television career. The program remained popular with children and adults, and stayed on the air until 1961. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) gave Fred his next opportunity to produce programs for children. When Fred went north, he took many of the puppets from The Children's Corner with him, and began to call their world the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. The studio set pieces as we know them today -- the castle, the tree, Daniel Tiger's clock, the Museum-Go-Round, the schoolhouse, the platypus mound, the Eiffel Tower, the schoolhouse in Some Place Else and the trolley -- were actually constructed for Fred by the Canadian Broadcasting Company. The Canadian program was one word: MisteRogers, and for the first time, Fred was in front of the camera. The show was a hit in Canada, but before long Fred had two sons, and he and Joanne moved back to Pittsburgh. Also by this time, after years of part-time study, Fred had become an ordained Presbyterian minister. "What if you were offered an hour of live television every day?" Fred wondered aloud, in several interviews. "Can you imagine what it's like to try to fill that up with something of value? I wanted to give the best I could." In the late 1960s, the U.S. Senate was considering cutting in half an important twenty million dollar grant for so-called "public broadcasting". Fred, not yet famous with adults, was invited to speak and submit a paper at the hearing. He would plead his case -- what makes public television different, why his program differs from cartoons and violence elsewhere on the dial -- and he would do so before the notoriously gruff and impatient Senator John O. Pastore [D] from Rhode Island. Pastore was the first Italian American elected to the United States Senate in 1950. Senator Pastore: All right Rogers, you got the floor. Fred Rogers: Senator Pastore, this is a philosophical statement [motioning to a text copy of the essay he'd submitted] and would take about ten minutes to read, so I'll not do that. One of the first things that a child learns in a healthy family is trust, and I trust what you've said, that you'll read this. It's very important to me, I care deeply about children, my first-- Senator Pastore: [interrupting] Will it make you happy if you read it? Fred Rogers: I'd -- just like to talk about it, if it's all right -- Senator Pastore: [interrupting] Fine. Fred Rogers: This is what I give. I give an expression of care every day to each child, to help him realize that he is unique. I end the program by saying, "you've made this day a special day by just your being you.  I feel that if we in public television can only make it clear that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we will have done a great service. Senator Pastore: [After a long pause] I'm supposed to be a pretty tough guy. This is the first time I've had goose bumps in the last two days. Fred Rogers: Well I'm grateful. Not only for your goose bumps, but for your interest in our kind of communication. Fred spoke for about six minutes total, taking the time to recite lyrics from one of his songs. Fred Rogers: Know that there's something deep inside, that helps us become what we can. For a girl can be someday a lady, and a boy can be someday a man. Senator Pastore: [visibly misty and touched] I think it's wonderful. That is just so wonderful.  Spontaneous applause thundered throughout the courtroom. By that time, National Educational Television (the precursor to PBS) had already started broadcasting Fred's programs nationwide in black and white. MisteRogers made its debut on February 19, 1968. Eventually the show would be in color, Mister Rogers would be split into two words, and the set and furniture would be updated -- but only by small degrees to prevent emotionally sensitive children from becoming confused. Senator Pastore died in 1994. One year later, his Senatorial position would be assumed by another Italian American, the homophobic Rick Santorum [R], also from Pennsylvania. Michael "Batman-Beetlejuice-Mr. Mom" Keaton, a native Pittsburgher, operated both Picture Picture and the electric trolley mechanism when he worked on the studio crew during the 1970s. Sometimes when Fred slid the compartment back to insert a film into Picture Picture, Keaton would intone, "I'm ready to hear your confession, my son." It was for this new national series that Fred asked Johnny Costa to be his musical director. This was a surprising choice, since Costa had an extraordinarily nuanced and sophisticated musical style, especially for a children's program. Each day, Costa's musical trio performed all the songs and music live in the studio, as each episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was videotaped. The trolley whistles, Mister McFeely's frenetic Speedy Delivery piano plonks, and the vibraphone flute-toots as Fred sprinkles flakes of fish food into the aquarium were also performed live, as well as Fred's entrance and exit songs. Discerning listeners can easily observe that no rendering of any score across two episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood are even close to identical. Fred considered Johnny one of the most gifted musicians he'd ever met, and one of the most talented jazz pianists in the world. When Costa first started working with Fred, he was a little nervous. Costa wasn't sure how to write jazz for children, but Fred allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Through Costa's enthusiastic and twinkly musical score, one couldn't help but feel the program was a labor of love, constructed by gifted, sensitive individuals intent on child development. Songs performed by Mister Rogers are delivered at a slow pace and address unusual topics, such as the fear of being slurped down the bathtub drain, or a celebration of everyone's body being both fancy and just fine the way it is. Songs which encourage kids to pick up their blocks and put them away (or to pound clay when they're "feeling so mad they could bite.") have earned Mister Rogers the honorary subtitle of the singing psychiatrist. "I must be an emotional archaeologist," Fred says, "because I keep looking for the roots of things. Particularly the roots of behavior and why I feel certain ways about certain things." On Tuesday, July 28, 1998, more than 300 PBS stations aired an episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood featuring Koko, the sign-language using gorilla. This week-long series addressed the confusion and fear young children often experience when confronted with new situations or people who look different from themselves. The week long theme of "inclusion" featured Koko and helpful talks about feeling included, no matter what a child can or can't do. Dispelling the age-old myth of gorillas as frightening monsters, Koko's affinity for Mister Rogers was immediately apparent.  In 1968, Rogers was appointed Chairman of the Forum on Mass Media and Child Development of the White House Conference on Youth. Besides two George Foster Peabody Awards, Emmys, Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the TV Critics Association, Fred Rogers received every major award in television for which he is eligible -- and many others from special-interest groups in education, communications, and early childhood. In 1999, he was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. Fred Rogers received more than 40 honorary degrees from colleges and universities, including Yale University, Hobart and William Smith, Carnegie Mellon University, Boston University, Saint Vincent College, University of Pittsburgh, North Carolina State University, University of Connecticut, Dartmouth College, Waynesburg College, and his alma mater, Rollins College. In 2002, President George W. Bush presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, recognizing his contribution to the well-being of children and a career in public television that demonstrates the importance of kindness, compassion and learning. Unfortunately, during the ceremony, President Bush kept referring to the program as "Mister Rogers's Neighborhood". Subject matter on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood grew increasingly complex. Topics like adoption and divorce were introduced, as well as death. In one program, Fred shows viewers one of his fishes who's passed on. Special visitors to the "Neighborhood" over the years have included Tony Bennett, Big Bird, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, The Boys Choir of Harlem, children's author Eric Carle, folksinger Ella Jenkins, Julia Child, pianist Van Cliburn, magician David Copperfield, marine biologist Sylvia Earle, Arthur Mitchell and his Dance Theatre of Harlem, actress Rita Moreno, paper sculptor Ben Gonzales, tv stars from "The Incredible Hulk" Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, poet May Sarton, Steeler football wide receiver Lynn Swann, Broadway star Tommy Tune, oboist Natasha, creator and author of the Arthur books Marc Brown, Soviet children's television host Tatiana Vedeneeva, pianist Andre Watts, Olympic gold medalist ice skater Peggy Fleming, the Mississippi Fife and Drum Corp, classical guitarist Manuel Barrueco, Apollo XV astronaut Al Worden, potter Eva Kwong, violinist Hilary Hahn, and the performers from the off-Broadway production Stomp. The last episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood aired Friday, August 31, 2001. Fred Rogers died shortly after being diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2003. He was buried in a private ceremony attended by sixty relatives, co-workers, and friends, but he told very few people he was sick. David Newell, who played Mister McFeely on the program, served as the family spokesman. After Newell delivered the news, virtually every metropolitan newspaper in the United States started Fred Rogers' obituary on their front pages -- even tabloids which typically favor lurid local stories. The New York Post led its edition with a story of scandal. "Sizzling affair with drug wife sinks narc," the headline ran. Then, a few inches below, the paper began a two-page "special homage" to Mister Rogers. Bette Midler's touring show "Kiss My Brass" offers a tender musical tribute to Mister Rogers. Joining him in a "virtual duet," she sings a rendition of I Like to Be Told -- along with full screen video taken from the program. Even the FOX animated series Family Guy made an effort to pay tribute to Mister Roger's Neighborhood in the episode "Brian in Love". Baby Stewie emerges from trolley tunnel holding a pop-gun, announcing that Mr. Rogers should "avoid the Neighborhood of Make Believe today, as I dare say you'll find it quite in ruins." Mister Rogers pokes his head through the porthole, and sure enough: the castle has been bombed and burned beyond recognition. King Friday and Queen Sara swing back and forth from home-made hangman's nooses. Daniel Striped Tiger and Prince Tuesday are seen chained in the basement. X the Owl flops lifelessly with two broken wings in his tree branch. Lady Elaine Fairchilde spins lifelessly in circles from the Museum-Go-Round, her head bonking repeatedly against cement blocks -- and Henrietta Pussycat runs dazed through the neighborhood with a jinglebell, roaring with flames and screaming "meow meow meow - skin graft - meow meow meow." The Mister Rogers vs. Stewie gag aired once, but was cut from subsequent airings. The fully restored edit can only be seen in the DVD box set. One of Fred's bright red cardigan sweaters (knitted by his late mother) is enshrined in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., along with Archie Bunker's easy chair and the set from the M*A*S*H television series. The Smithsonian staff reports that the Mister Rogers sweater is the third most-requested item by tourists. There was a moment at the 1998 Daytime Emmys when Mister Rogers was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Tom Junod covered the story for Esquire magazine. "...Mister Rogers went onstage to accept the award -- and there, in front of all the soap opera stars and talk show sinceratrons, in front of all the jutting man-tanned jaws and jutting saltwater bosoms, he made his small bow and said into the microphone: All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. Ten seconds of silence. And then he lifted his wrist, looked at the audience, looked at his watch, and said, I'll watch the time. There was, at first, a small whoop from the crowd, a giddy, strangled hiccup of laughter, as people realized that he wasn't kidding, that Mister Rogers was not some convenient eunuch, but rather a man, an authority figure who actually expected them to do what he asked. And so they did. One second, two seconds, three seconds -- and now the jaws clenched, and the bosoms heaved, and the mascara ran, and the tears fell upon the beglittered gathering like rain leaking down a crystal chandelier. And Mister Rogers finally looked up from his watch and said softly, May God be with you to all his vanquished children." |
