but note that its range is normalized to [0,1].
- Parameters
-
| c2 | (radians) The active-torque-angle width parameter. The parameter c2 is defined by Anderson et al. as |
c2 = pi/(theta_max - theta_min).
- Parameters
-
| c3 | : (radians) Then angle which has the largest active-torque. |
| curveName | The name of the joint torque this curve applies to. This curve name should have the name of the joint and the direction (e.g. hipExtensionTorqueMuscle) so that if this curve ever causes an exception, a user friendly error message can be displayed to the end user to help them debug their model. |

This is a function that will produce a C2 (continuous to the second derivative) active torque (angular) velocity curve. This Bezier curve has been fitted to match the active-torque-angle curve described in
Anderson, Dennis E., Michael L. Madigan, and Maury A. Nussbaum. "Maximum voluntary joint torque as a function of joint angle and angular velocity: model development and application to the lower limb." Journal of biomechanics 40, no. 14 (2007): 3105-3113.
While the concentric side of the Bezier curve and the original formulation match, the eccentric side does not: the equations Anderson et al. chose decrease down to 0 rapidly. Since Anderson et al. did not collect data at the higher eccentric velocities the oddities in their chosen curves are likely due to the parameterization they chose. The eccentric side of the Bezier curve will be fitted so that, if possible, it passes close to the value of the original curves for theta = -60 deg/s within the limits imposed by minEccentricMultiplier and maxEccentricMultiplier.
- Parameters
-
| c4 | (rads/s) Angular velocity when the torque is 75% of the maximum isometric torque. |
| c5 | (rads/s) Angular velocity when the torque is 50% of the maximum isometric torque. |
| c6 | Multiplier that Anderson et al. uses to describe the change in slope of the curve as the contraction velocity changes sign from + to -. |
| minEccentricMultiplier | The minimum value of the torque-(angular)-velocity curve tends to at large eccentric contraction velocities. Note minEccentricMultiplier > 1.0 |
| maxEccentricMultiplier | The value of the torque-(angular)-velocity curve tends to at large eccentric contraction velocities. Note maxEccentricMultiplier > minEccentricMultiplier. |
| curveName | The name of the joint torque this curve applies to. This curve name should have the name of the joint and the direction (e.g. hipExtensionTorqueMuscle) so that if this curve ever causes an exception, a user friendly error message can be displayed to the end user to help them debug their model. |

This is a function that will produce a C2 (continuous to the second derivative) passive torque angle curve described in
Anderson, Dennis E., Michael L. Madigan, and Maury A. Nussbaum. "Maximum voluntary joint torque as a function of joint angle and angular velocity: model development and application to the lower limb." Journal of biomechanics 40, no. 14 (2007): 3105-3113.
Note the following differences between this implementation and the original equations presented in Anderson et al.:
- This function will return a curve that is fitted to the positive side of the curve defined by the coefficients b1, k1, b2, and k2. Because of the sign convention employed by Anderson et al. the positive side of the curve corresponds to the passive curve generated by the torque actuator associated with the rest of the coefficients.
- This function has been normalized so that a value of 1.0 corresponds to one-maximum-isometric-active-contraction torque, or c1*subjectWeightInNewtons*subjectHeightInMeters.
- Parameters
-
| scale | The scaling factor used on the c1 column in Table 3 of Anderson et al.: |
scale = subjectWeightInNewtons * subjectHeightInMeters
- Parameters
-
| c1 | The normalized c1 parameter listed in Tabel 3 of Anderson et al. |
| b1 | The passive torque angle curve parameter used in Anderson et al.'s Eqn. 1: |
torquePassive = b1*exp(k1*theta) + b2*exp(k2*theta)
- Parameters
-
| k1 | The term k1 in Anderson et al.'s Eqn. 1. |
| b2 | The term b2 in Anderson et al.'s Eqn. 1. |
| k2 | The term k2 in Anderson et al.'s Eqn. 1. |
| curveName | The name of the joint torque this curve applies to. This curve name should have the name of the joint and the direction (e.g. hipExtensionTorqueMuscle) so that if this curve ever causes an exception, a user friendly error message can be displayed to the end user to help them debug their model. |
| smoothSegmentedFunctionToUpdate | A SmoothSegmentedFunction object that will be erased and filled with the coefficients that are defined by this curve. |
This function creates a Bezier spline that closely follows the exponential curves that are typically used to model the passive-torque-angle characteristic of muscles. This curve has a value and a slope of zero for angles that are less than abs(angleAtZeroTorque). For angles that have an absolute magnitude larger than abs(angleAtOneNormTorque) the curve is simply linearly extrapolated.
Note that curves can be represented that increase left-to-right, or decrease left-to-right by setting the variables angleAtOneNormTorque and angleAtZeroTorque correctly. For example using (0,1) for angleAtOneNormTorque and angleAtZeroTorque produces a curve that increases left-to-right while using (-1,0) produces a curve that decreases left to right.
- Parameters
-
| angleAtZeroTorque | is the angle at which the curve transitions from a flat line and begins curving upwards. (radians) |
| angleAtOneNormTorque | is the angle at which this curve achieves a value of 1.0. (radians) |
| curveName | The name of the joint torque this curve applies to. This curve name should have the name of the joint and the direction (e.g. hipExtensionTorqueMuscle) so that if this curve ever causes an exception, a user friendly error message can be displayed to the end user to help them debug their model. |

This function creates a normalized torque-velocity curve.

This function creates a normalized torque-velocity curve.

The eccentric side of the curve rapidly, but smoothly approaches a terminal value of tv-at-the-maximum-eccentric-contraction-velocity. Shape of the eccentric side of the curve can be changed using the slopeNearEccentricOmegaMax and curviness variables. Outside of the normalized velocities of -1 to 1 the curve takes the values of slopeAtConcentricOmegaMax and slopeAtEccentricOmegaMax respectively.
- Parameters
-
| tvAtEccentricOmegaMax | The value of the torque-velocity-multiplier at the maximum eccentric contraction velocity. This value must be |
| tvAtHalfConcentricOmegaMax | The value of the torque-velocity- |
| slopeAtConcentricOmegaMax | The slope of the curve at a normalized angular velocity of -1. This slope is used to extrapolate for normalized angular velocities of less than -1. |
| slopeNearEccentricOmegaMax | The slope of the eccentric side of the curve as the normalized angular velocity approaches 1. |
| slopeAtEccentricOmegaMax | The slope of the curve at a normalized angular velocity of 1. This slope is used to extrapolate for normalized angular velocities of greater than 1. |
| eccentricCurviness | This parameter controls the shape of the curve between the normalized angular velocities of 0 and 1. An eccentricCurviness of 0 will flatten the elbow so that the curve closely follows a line that begins at (0,1) and ends at (1,tvAtEccentricOmegaMax). An eccentricCurviness of 1 will give the curve a strong elbow so that it quickly approaches the line that passes through the point (1,tvAtEccentricOmegaMax) and has a slope of slopeNearEccentricOmegaMax. |

Onsight Facilities
SpaceNext tests its engines and structures at a 4,000-acre state-of-the-art rocket development facility in SriHarikota, Tamil Nadu. Every Merlin engine that powers the Falcon 9 rocket and every Draco thruster that controls the Dragon spacecraft is tested on one of 11 test stands. The Falcon 9 first stage is tested with all nine Merlin engines firing at 1.71 million pounds of thrust for up to three minutes—the same as actual flight duration. In addition, the facility is home to a dual Merlin test stand consisting of two independent engine testing bays, allowing SpaceX to test up to 400 Merlin engines a year. Established in 2003, the site now averages two tests per day
Exhibiton Center and Lab Visits
A selection of Apollo 11 objects and their current descriptions are viewable in this grouping. Curators in the Museum's Space History Department are constantly acquiring information about objects in the collection and updating our records.
The lab has access to a metal-based 3D printer and is equipped with a suite of powerful microscopes, an X-ray CT machine and a range of furnaces. Mechanical testing such as tensile and micro-hardness testing is also performed.
Our laboratory aims to assess candidate materials and manufacturing processes for space missions, pre-screening them early in their development cycle. The results obtained helps guide us and the wider space industry in deciding where to focus future technology investments
A key aim of the laboratory is to exploit the expertise and world-leading facilities that are available on the Harwell Campus, to assess new material processes, joining techniques and 3D printing technologies for application in space.
We’ve already been using STFC’s ISIS pulsed spallation neutron source to investigate the structural integrity of friction stir welded titanium for use in spacecraft propellant tanks.
Friction welding involves a high speed rubbing together of metal parts rather than the application of external heat to melt the parts. The technique should result in stronger welds. ISIS has allowed us to confirm this by measuring the internal stresses induced by the process to confirm the final weld quality.

WWE & The Kraken Black Spiced Rum Team Up for a Tasty Sweepstakes
by Steve RussellWWE has formed a new tag team partnership with The Kraken Rum to offer fans an opportunity to attend next year's WrestleMania in Tampa, Florida.
Fans can enter the competition by writing in and sharing what finishing move would be needed for WWE’s NXT Superstars to take down the legendary Kraken sea monster
Launched ahead of Nov. 23's NXT TakeOver: WarGames, the sweepstakes runs until Dec. 13, and The Kraken Rum, NXT Champion Adam Cole, NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler and "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne will help determine the winning entrant. In honor of their new partnership, the "anti-hero spirit brand" has also created a range of new drinks inspired by WWE Superstars, including The Bitter End and The Kirifuda Clutch.
Click the button below to start this article in quick view.
Described as an "incomprehensible mass," the Kraken is purported to be longer than any skyscraper known to man and has eight terrifying tentacles, each with the might to crush 80 elephants and featuring thousands of hooked suckers. And that’s before mentioning its drawbridge-like jaws and eyes that are likened to a black hole. With that in mind, the finishing move that fans have to imagine needs to be strong enough to put away such a behemoth -- clearly no easy task.
If you’re interested in entering the competition, you can share how these NXT Superstars can take down the monster on Instagram or Twitter, tagging @krakenrum with the hashtag #KrakenTakedown. The competition is open to adults aged 21 years or older. One winner will be chosen and will receive roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodation for two nights and two tickets to WrestleMania 36.

Again, this is for use with the Seven languages in seven weeks book by Bruce Tate. With Ubuntu 12.10, I installed a version of GNU Prolog which so far is working fine with the examples. The package you need is gprolog:
sudo apt-get install gprolog
The version is a tiny bit older than Bruce uses - 1.3.0-6.1 rather than 1.3.1. As I said, no problems encounter yet though as a result.

The Atlantic Current: Mapping the Virgins of Guadalupe and Remedios
Ocana, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha
Verified
The Virgin of los Remedios of Ocaña has one of the largest follows of Remedios in Spain. The original image was destroyed on November 10, 1936. She was crowned on June 11, 1961.
The image resides in the chapel of los Remedios in the Church of St. John the Baptist in the town. It likely originates in the 13th century, but underwent reconstruction in the 16th. The people of Ocaña celebrate the Virgin from September 7-11.

Back in 2015 I worked for the Public Ministry of the State of Ceará, Brazil. There were a lot of meetings to improve the prototype I created and to adjust the user's needs, specially developing for accessibility, one of the requirements for Public Ministry's website.
Initially I researched the company needs for the new website, how they used it internally, what was difficult for them to proceed on their current website and what were the most popular categories searched by the users.
I came up with a solution for two very different targets: internal attorneys and civilians.
I created the layout applying their brand's guidelines and focusing on easier access of different services for the user.
This project took about six months from research to design and implementation. It was very intense and it is a memorable one. It was my first contact with accessibility for the web and learning the importance of creating something for everyone. It was also a relevant project that I lead working hard to make an improvement for both attorneys and civilians of my hometown. I'm proud that it's still being used.

Riot police in black body armor forced striking workers away from blocked fuel depots in western France, restoring gasoline to areas where pumps were dry after weeks of protests over the government proposal raising the age from 60 to 62.
Riot officers in the Paris suburb of Nanterre and the southeastern city of Lyon sprayed tear gas but appeared unable to stop the violence.
After months of largely peaceful disruptions, many protests erupted into violence this week over the government's push to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62. President Nicolas Sarkozy vowed that his conservative party would pass the reform in a Senate vote expected Thursday.

s6-rc
Software
skarnet.org
Why s6-rc ?
The limits of supervision suites
Supervision suites such as
s6,
runit,
perp or
daemontools
define a service as a long-lived process, a.k.a
daemon. They provide tools to run the daemon in a reproducible
way in a controlled environment and keep it alive if it dies;
they also provide daemon management tools to, among others,
send signals to the daemon without knowing its PID. They can
control individual long-lived processes perfectly well, and
s6 also provides
tools to manage a whole supervision tree. To any system administrator
concerned about reliability, supervision suites are a good thing.
However, a supervision suite is not a service manager.
Relying on a supervision suite to handle all the service
management is doable on simple systems, where there aren't
many dependencies, and where most of the one-time initialization
can take place in stage 1, before any daemons are launched.
On some embedded systems, for instance, this is perfectly reasonable.
On other systems, though, it is more problematic. Here are a few
issues encountered:
- With a pure supervision tree, all daemons are launched in
parallel; if their dependencies are not met, daemons just die, and
are restarted by the supervisors, and so on; so eventually the
dependency tree is correctly built and everything
is brought up. This is okay with lightweight daemons that do not take
up too many resources when starting; but with heavyweight daemons,
bringing them up at the wrong time can expend CPU or cause heavy
disk access, and
increase the total booting time significantly.
- The runit model of
separating one-time initialization (stage 1) and daemon management
(stage 2) does not always work: some one-time initialization may
depend on a daemon being up. Example: udevd on Linux. Such daemons
then need to be run in stage 1, unsupervised - which defeats the
purpose of having a supervision suite.
- More generally, supervision suites do not perform
dependency management. Their job is to maintain daemons
alive and ease their administration; dependency across those
daemons is not their concern, and one-time initialization scripts
are entirely foreign to them. So a situation like udevd
where it is necessary to interleave daemons and one-time scripts
is not handled properly by them.
To manage complex systems, pure supervision suites are insufficient,
and real service managers, starting and stopping services
in the proper order and handling both oneshots (one-time
initialization scripts) and longruns (daemons), are needed.
Previous alternatives
Unix distributions usually come with their own init systems and
service managers; all of those have flaws one way or another. No
widely spread init system gets things right, which is the main
reason for the recent "init wars" - no matter what init system you
talk about, there are strong, valid reasons to like it and support it,
and there are also strong, valid reasons to dislike it.
Non-supervision init systems usually fall in one of two categories,
both with pros and cons.
Traditional, sequential starters
Those are either the historical Unix init systems, or newer systems
that still favor simplicity. Among them, for instance:
- sysvinit,
the historical GNU/Linux init system, and its companion set of
/etc/rc.d init scripts that some distributions like to
call sysv-rc. Note that sysvinit does have
supervision capabilities, but nobody ever bothered to use them
for anything else than gettys, and all the machine
initialization, including longruns, is done by the sysv-rc
scripts, in a less than elegant way.
- BSD
init, which is very similar to sysvinit - including the
supervision abilities that are only ever used for gettys.
The /etc/rc script takes care of all the initialization.
- OpenRC,
an alternative, dependency-based rc system.
All these systems run sequentially: they will start services, either
oneshots or longruns, one by one, even when the dependency graph says
that some services could be started in parallel. Also, the daemons
they start are always unsupervised, even when the underlying init
system provides supervision features. There usually is no
readiness
notification support on daemons either, daemons are fire-and-forget
(but that's more on the
scripts themselves than on the frameworks). Another common criticism
of those systems is that the amount of shell scripting is so huge
that it has a significant performance impact.
(Note that OpenRC
has an option to start services in parallel, but at the time of this
writing, it uses polling on a lock file to check whether a service
has completed all its dependencies; this is heavily prone to race
conditions, and is not the correct mechanism to ensure proper service
ordering, so this option cannot be considered reliable.)
Another, less obvious, but important drawback is that service-launching
scripts run as scions of the shell that invoked the command, and so
they may exhibit different behaviours when they're run automatically at
boot time and when they're run manually by an admin, because the
environment is different. Scripts usually try to run in a clean
environment, but it's hard to think of everything (open file
descriptors!) and every script must protect itself with a gigantic
boilerplate, which adds to the inefficiency problem.
Monolithic init behemoths
The other category of service managers is made of attempts to cover
the flaws of traditional service starters, and provide supervision,
dependency management and sometimes readiness notification, while
reducing the amount of scripting needed.
Unfortunately, the results are tightly integrated, monolithic init
systems straying far away from Unix core principles, with
design flaws that make the historical inits' design flaws look like
a joke.
- Upstart was the first
one. The concepts in Upstart are actually pretty good: in
theory, it's a decent event-based service manager. Unfortunately, the
implementation is less than ideal. For instance, the service
file format is full of adhocisms breaking the principle of least surprise.
But most importantly, Upstart was the first system that used ptrace
on the processes it spawned in order to keep track of their forks. If
you don't know what that means: it's complete insanity, using a debug
feature in prodution, with heavy impact on security and efficiency.
- launchd,
Darwin's init and service manager. The Wikipedia page (linked here
because Apple doesn't see fit to provide a documentation page for
launchd) is very clear: it replaces init, rc, init.d/rc.d,
SystemStarter, inetd, crontd, atd and watchdogd. It does all of this
in process 1. And it uses XML for daemon configuration, so launchctl
has to link in an XML parsing library, and it communicates with process 1
via a Mach-specific IPC mechanism. Is this the sleek, elegant
design that Apple is usually known for? Stick to selling iPhones,
guys.
- systemd,
the main protagonist (or antagonist) in the "init wars". It has the same
problems as launchd, up by an order of magnitude;
here is why.
systemd avowedly aims to replace the whole low-level user-space of
Linux systems, but its design is horrendous. It doesn't even
get readiness notification right.
The problem of integrated init systems is that:
- They have been developed by companies and associations, not
individuals, and despite the licensing, they are for all intents and
purposes closer to proprietary software than free software; they also
suffer from many of the technical flaws of enterprise software
design.
- As a result, and despite being backed by tremendous manpower,
they have been very poorly thought out. The manpower goes into the
coding of features, not into architecture conception; and the
architects were obviously not Unix experts, which is a shame when
it's about creating a process 1 for Unix. This is apparent because:
- They have been designed like application software, not
system software, which requires a fairly different set of
skills, and careful attention to details
that are not as important in application software,
such as minimal software dependencies and shortness of code paths.
Pages and pages could be - and have been - written about the shortcomings
of integrated
init systems, but one fact remains: they are not a satisfying solution
to the problem of service management under Unix.
The best of both worlds
s6-rc aims to be such a solution: it is small and modular, but offers
full functionality. Parallel service startup and shutdown with
correct dependency management (none of the systemd nonsense where
services are started before their dependencies are met), correct
readiness notification support, reproducible script execution, and
short code paths.
- s6-rc is a service manager, i.e. the equivalent of
sysv-rc or OpenRC. It is not an init system.
You can run s6-rc with any init system of your choosing.
Of course, s6-rc requires a
s6 supervision tree to be running on
the system, since it delegates the management of longrun services
to that supervision tree, but it does not require that s6 be the
init system itself. s6-rc will work
when s6-svscan
runs as process 1 (on Linux, such a setup can be easily achieved
via the help of the
s6-linux-init
package), and it will also work
when
s6-svscan runs under another init process.
- The service manager runs on top of a supervision
suite. It does not try to make it perform boot/shutdown operations or
dependency management itself; and it does not substitute itself to it.
s6-rc uses the functionality provided by s6, but it is still possible
to run s6 without s6-rc for systems that do not need a service manager.
It would also be theoretically possible to run s6-rc on top of another
supervision suite, if said supervision suite provided the hooks that
s6-rc needs.
- A significantly time-consuming part of a service manager is
the analysis of a set of services and computation of a dependency graph
for that set. At the time of writing this document, s6-rc is the only
service manager that performs that work offline, eliminating
the dependency analysis overhead from boot time, shutdown time, or
any other time where the machine state changes.
- The source format for the
s6-rc-compile tool is purposefully
simple, in order to allow external tools to automatically write
service definitions for s6-rc - for instance for conversions between
service manager formats.
- Like every
skarnet.org tool, s6-rc
is made of very little code, that does its job and nothing else.
The binaries are small, it is very light in memory usage, and the
code paths are extremely short.
The combination of s6 and s6-rc makes a complete, full-featured and
performant init system and service manager, with probably the lowest
total memory footprint of any service manager out there, and all the
reliability and ease of administration that a supervision suite can
provide. It is a real, viable alternative to integrated init
behemoths, providing equivalent functionality while being much
smaller and much more maintainable.


USCAN(1) USCAN(1) NAME uscan - scan/watch upstream sources for new releases of software SYNOPSIS uscan [options] [path-to-debian-source-packages ...] DESCRIPTION uscan scans the given directories (or the current directory if none are specified) and all of their subdirectories for packages containing a con‐ trol file debian/watch. Parameters are then read from those control files and upstream ftp or http sites are inspected for newly available updates (as compared with the upstream version number retrieved from the debian/changelog file in the same directory). The newest updates are retrieved (as determined by their version numbers) and if specified in the watch file, a program may then be executed on the newly downloaded source. The traditional debian/watch files can still be used, but the current format offers both simpler and more flexible services. We do not describe the old format here; for their documentation, see the source code for uscan. FORMAT of debian/watch files The following demonstrates the type of entries which can appear in a debian/watch file. Obviously, not all of these would appear in one such file; usually, one would have one line for the current package. # format version number, currently 3; this line is compulsory! version=3 # Line continuations are performed with \ # This is the format for an FTP site: # Full-site-with-pattern [Version [Action]] ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/web/c_cpp/cweb/cweb-(.+)\.tar\.gz \ debian uupdate # This is the format for an FTP site with regex special characters in # the filename part ftp://ftp.worldforge.org/pub/worldforge/libs/Atlas-C++/transitional/Atlas-C\+\+-(.+)\.tar\.gz # This is the format for an FTP site with directory pattern matching ftp://ftp.nessus.org/pub/nessus/nessus-([\d\.]+)/src/nessus-core-([\d\.]+)\.tar\.gz # This can be used if you want to override the PASV setting # for a specific site # opts=pasv ftp://.../... # This is one format for an HTTP site, which is the same # as the FTP format. uscan starts by downloading the homepage, # obtained by removing the last component of the URL; in this case, # http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Text/ http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Text/Text-CSV_XS-(.+)\.tar\.gz # This is a variant HTTP format which allows direct specification of # the homepage: # Homepage Pattern [Version [Action]] http://www.dataway.ch/~lukasl/amph/amph.html \ files/amphetamine-([\d\.]*).tar.bz2 # This one shows that recursive directory scanning works, in either of # two forms, as long as the website can handle requests of the form # http://site/inter/mediate/dir/ http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/(\d\.\d)/ \ Twisted-([\d\.]*)\.tar\.bz2 http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/(\d\.\d)/Twisted-([\d\.]*)\.tar\.bz2 # qa.debian.org runs a redirector which allows a simpler form of URL # for SourceForge based projects. The format below will automatically # be rewritten to use the redirector. http://sf.net/audacity/audacity-src-(.+)\.tar\.gz # githubredir.debian.net is a redirector for GitHub projects # It can be used as following: http://githubredir.debian.net/github/<user>/<project> (.+).tar.gz # This is the format for a site which has funny version numbers; # the parenthesised groups will be joined with dots to make a # sanitised version number http://www.site.com/pub/foobar/foobar_v(\d+)_(\d+)\.tar\.gz # This is another way of handling site with funny version numbers, # this time using mangling. (Note that multiple groups will be # concatenated before mangling is performed, and that mangling will # only be performed on the basename version number, not any path # version numbers.) opts="uversionmangle=s/^/0.0./" \ ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-(.+)\.tar\.gz # Similarly, the upstream part of the Debian version number can be # mangled: opts=dversionmangle=s/\.dfsg\.\d+$// \ http://some.site.org/some/path/foobar-(.+)\.tar\.gz # The filename is found by taking the last component of the URL and # removing everything after any '?'. If this would not make a usable # filename, use filenamemangle. For example, #  # could be handled as: # opts=filenamemangle=s/.*=(.*)/$1/ \ # http://foo.bar.org/download/\?path=&download=foo-(.+)\.tar\.gz # #  # could be handled as: # opts=filenamemangle=s/.*=(.*)/foo-$1\.tar\.gz/ \ # http://foo.bar.org/download/\?path=&download_version=(.+) # The option downloadurlmangle can be used to mangle the URL of the file # to download. This can only be used with http:// URLs. This may be # necessary if the link given on the web page needs to be transformed in # some way into one which will work automatically, for example: # opts=downloadurlmangle=s/prdownload/download/ \ # http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2051 \ # http://prdownload.berlios.de/softdevice/vdr-softdevice-(.+).tgz Comment lines may be introduced with a `#' character. Continuation lines may be indicated by terminating a line with a backslash character. The first (non-comment) line of the file must begin `version=3'. This allows for future extensions without having to change the name of the file. There are two possibilities for the syntax of an HTTP watch file line, and only one for an FTP line. We begin with the common (and simpler) format. We describe the optional opts=... first field below, and ignore it in what follows. The first field gives the full pattern of URLs being searched for. In the case of an FTP site, the directory listing for the requested direc‐ tory will be requested and this will be scanned for files matching the basename (everything after the trailing `/'). In the case of an HTTP site, the URL obtained by stripping everything after the trailing slash will be downloaded and searched for hrefs (links of the form ) to either the full URL pattern given, or to the absolute part (everything without the http://host.name/ part), or to the basename (just the part after the final `/'). Everything up to the final slash is taken as a verbatim URL, as long as there are no parentheses (`(' and ')') in this part of the URL: if it does, the directory name will be matched in the same way as the final component of the URL as described below. (Note that regex metacharacters such as `+' are regarded literally unless they are in a path component containing parentheses; see the Atlas-C++ example above. Also, the parentheses must match within each path component.) The pattern (after the final slash) is a Perl regexp (see perlre(1) for details of these). You need to make the pattern so tight that it matches only the upstream software you are interested in and nothing else. Also, the pattern will be anchored at the beginning and at the end, so it must match the full filename. (Note that for HTTP URLs, the href may include the absolute path or full site and path and still be accepted.) The pat‐ tern must contain at least one Perl group as explained in the next para‐ graph. Having got a list of `files' matching the pattern, their version numbers are extracted by treating the part matching the Perl regexp groups, demarcated by `(...)', joining them with `.' as a separator, and using the result as the version number of the file. The version number will then be mangled if required by the uversionmangle option described below. Finally, the file versions are then compared to find the one with the greatest version number, as determined by dpkg --compare-versions. Note that if you need Perl groups which are not to be used in the version num‐ ber, either use `(?:...)' or use the uversionmangle option to clean up the mess! The current (upstream) version can be specified as the second parameter in the watch file line. If this is debian or absent, then the current Debian version (as determined by debian/changelog) is used to determine the current upstream version. The current upstream version may also be specified by the command-line option --upstream-version, which specifies the upstream version number of the currently installed package (i.e., the Debian version number without epoch and Debian revision). The upstream version number will then be mangled using the dversionmangle option if one is specified, as described below. If the newest version available is newer than the current version, then it is downloaded into the parent directory, unless the --report or --report-status option has been used. Once the file has been downloaded, then a symlink to the file is made from <package>_<version>.orig.tar.{gz|bz2|lzma|xz} as described by the help for the --symlink option. Finally, if a third parameter (an action) is given in the watch file line, this is taken as the name of a command, and the command command --upstream-version version filename is executed, using either the original file or the symlink name. A com‐ mon such command would be uupdate(1). (Note that the calling syntax was slightly different when using watch file without a `version=...' line; there the command executed was `command filename version'.) If the com‐ mand is uupdate, then the --no-symlink option is given to uupdate as a first option, since any requested symlinking will already be done by uscan. The alternative version of the watch file syntax for HTTP URLs is as fol‐ lows. The first field is a homepage which should be downloaded and then searched for hrefs matching the pattern given in the second field. (Again, this pattern will be anchored at the beginning and the end, so it must match the whole href. If you want to match just the basename of the href, you can use a pattern like ".*/name-(.+)\.tar\.gz" if you know that there is a full URL, or better still: "(?:.*/)?name-(.+)\.tar\.gz" if there may or may not be. Note the use of (?:...) to avoid making a back‐ reference.) If any of the hrefs in the homepage which match the (anchored) pattern are relative URLs, they will be taken as being rela‐ tive to the base URL of the homepage (i.e., with everything after the trailing slash removed), or relative to the base URL specified in the homepage itself with a <base href="..."> tag. The third and fourth fields are the version number and action fields as before. PER-SITE OPTIONS A watch file line may be prefixed with `opts=options', where options is a comma-separated list of options. The whole options string may be enclosed in double quotes, which is necessary if options contains any spaces. The recognised options are as follows: active and passive (or pasv) If used on an FTP line, these override the choice of whether to use PASV mode or not, and force the use of the specified mode for this site. uversionmangle=rules This is used to mangle the upstream version number as matched by the ftp://... or http:// rules as follows. First, the rules string is split into multiple rules at every `;'. Then the upstream version number is mangled by applying rule to the ver‐ sion, in a similar way to executing the Perl command: $version =~ rule; for each rule. Thus, suitable rules might be `s/^/0./' to prepend `0.' to the version number and `s/_/./g' to change underscores into periods. Note that the rules string may not contain commas; this should not be a problem. rule may only use the 's', 'tr' and 'y' operations. When the 's' operation is used, only the 'g', 'i' and 'x' flags are available and rule may not contain any expressions which have the potential to execute code (i.e. the (?{}) and (??{}) constructs are not sup‐ ported). If the 's' operation is used, the replacement can contain backref‐ erences to expressions within parenthesis in the matching regexp, like `s/-alpha(\d*)/.a$1/'. These backreferences must use the `$1' syntax, as the `\1' syntax is not supported. dversionmangle=rules This is used to mangle the Debian version number of the currently installed package in the same way as the uversionmangle option. Thus, a suitable rule might be `s/\.dfsg\.\d+$//' to remove a `.dfsg.1' suffix from the Debian version number, or to handle `.pre6' type version numbers. Again, the rules string may not contain commas; this should not be a problem. versionmangle=rules This is a syntactic shorthand for uversionmangle=rules,dversion‐ mangle=rules, applying the same rules to both the upstream and Debian version numbers. filenamemangle=rules This is used to mangle the filename with which the downloaded file will be saved, and is parsed in the same way as the uversionmangle option. Examples of its use are given in the examples section above. downloadurlmangle=rules This is used to mangle the URL to be used for the download. The URL is first computed based on the homepage downloaded and the pattern matched, then the version number is determined from this URL. Finally, any rules given by this option are applied before the actual download attempt is made. An example of its use is given in the examples section above. Directory name checking Similarly to several other scripts in the devscripts package, uscan explores the requested directory trees looking for debian/changelog and debian/watch files. As a safeguard against stray files causing potential problems, and in order to promote efficiency, it will examine the name of the parent directory once it finds the debian/changelog file, and check that the directory name corresponds to the package name. It will only attempt to download newer versions of the package and then perform any requested action if the directory name matches the package name. Pre‐ cisely how it does this is controlled by two configuration file variables DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL and DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX, and their corresponding command-line options --check-dirname-level and --check-dirname-regex. DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL can take the following values: 0 Never check the directory name. 1 Only check the directory name if we have had to change directory in our search for debian/changelog, that is, the directory con‐ taining debian/changelog is not the directory from which uscan was invoked. This is the default behaviour. 2 Always check the directory name. The directory name is checked by testing whether the current directory name (as determined by pwd(1)) matches the regex given by the configura‐ tion file option DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX or by the command line option --check-dirname-regex regex. Here regex is a Perl regex (see perlre(3perl)), which will be anchored at the beginning and the end. If regex contains a '/', then it must match the full directory path. If not, then it must match the full directory name. If regex contains the string ´PACKAGE', this will be replaced by the source package name, as determined from the changelog. The default value for the regex is: ´PACKAGE(-.+)?', thus matching directory names such as PACKAGE and PACK‐ AGE-version. EXAMPLE This script will perform a fully automatic upstream update. #!/bin/sh -e # called with '--upstream-version' <version> <file> uupdate "$@" package=`dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n 's/^Source: //p'` cd ../$package-$2 debuild Note that we don't call dupload or dput automatically, as the maintainer should perform sanity checks on the software before uploading it to Debian. OPTIONS --report, --no-download Only report about available newer versions but do not download anything. --report-status Report on the status of all packages, even those which are up-to- date, but do not download anything. --download Report and download. (This is the default behaviour.) --destdir Path of directory to which to download. If the specified path is not absolute, it will be relative to one of the current directory or, if directory scanning is enabled, the package's source direc‐ tory. --force-download Download upstream even if up to date (will not overwrite local files, however) --pasv Force PASV mode for FTP connections. --no-pasv Do not use PASV mode for FTP connections. --timeout N Set timeout to N seconds (default 20 seconds). --symlink Make orig.tar.gz symlinks to any downloaded files if their exten‐ sions are .tar.gz or .tgz. This is also handled for orig.tar.bz2 (for upstream .tar.bz2, .tbz, and .tbz2), orig.tar.lzma (for upstream .tar.lzma, .tlz, .tlzm, and .tlzma), and orig.tar.xz (for upstream .tar.xz and .txz). (This is the default behaviour.) --rename Instead of symlinking, rename the downloaded files to their Debian orig.tar.gz, orig.tar.bz2, orig.tar.lzma, or orig.tar.xz names as described above. --repack After having downloaded an lzma tar, xz tar, bzip tar or zip ar‐ chive, repack it to a gzip tar archive, which is still currently required as a member of a Debian source package. Does nothing if the downloaded archive is not an lzma tar archive, xz tar archive, bzip tar archive or a zip archive (i.e. it doesn't match a .tlz, .tlzm, .tlzma, .tar.lzma, .txz, .tar.xz, .tbz, .tbz2, .tar.bz2 or .zip extension). The unzip package must be installed in order to repack .zip archives, the xz-utils package must be installed to repack lzma or xz tar archives. --no-symlink Don't make these symlinks and don't rename the files. --dehs Use an XML format for output, as required by the DEHS system. --no-dehs Use the traditional uscan output format. (This is the default be‐ haviour.) --package package Specify the name of the package to check for rather than examining debian/changelog; this requires the --upstream-version (unless a version is specified in the watch file) and --watchfile options as well. Furthermore, no directory scanning will be done and nothing will be downloaded. This option is probably most useful in con‐ junction with the DEHS system (and --dehs). --upstream-version upstream-version Specify the current upstream version rather than examine the watch file or changelog to determine it. This is ignored if a directory scan is being performed and more than one watch file is found. --watchfile watchfile Specify the watchfile rather than perform a directory scan to determine it. If this option is used without --package, then uscan must be called from within the Debian package source tree (so that debian/changelog can be found simply by stepping up through the tree). --download-version version Specify the version which the upstream release must match in order to be considered, rather than using the release with the highest version. --download-current-version Download the currently packaged version --verbose Give verbose output. --no-verbose Don't give verbose output. (This is the default behaviour.) --debug Dump the downloaded web pages to stdout for debugging your watch file. --check-dirname-level N See the above section Directory name checking for an explanation of this option. --check-dirname-regex regex See the above section Directory name checking for an explanation of this option. --user-agent, --useragent Override the default user agent header. --no-conf, --noconf Do not read any configuration files. This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line. --help Give brief usage information. --version Display version information. CONFIGURATION VARIABLES The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced by a shell in that order to set configuration variables. These may be overridden by command line options. Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose. If the first command line option given is --noconf, then these files will not be read. The currently recognised variables are: USCAN_DOWNLOAD If this is set to no, then newer upstream files will not be down‐ loaded; this is equivalent to the --report or --no-download options. USCAN_PASV If this is set to yes or no, this will force FTP connections to use PASV mode or not to, respectively. If this is set to default, then Net::FTP(3) make the choice (primarily based on the FTP_PAS‐ SIVE environment variable). USCAN_TIMEOUT If set to a number N, then set the timeout to N seconds. This is equivalent to the --timeout option. USCAN_SYMLINK If this is set to no, then a pkg_version.orig.tar.{gz|bz2|lzma|xz} symlink will not be made (equivalent to the --no-symlink option). If it is set to yes or symlink, then the symlinks will be made. If it is set to rename, then the files are renamed (equivalent to the --rename option). USCAN_DEHS_OUTPUT If this is set to yes, then DEHS-style output will be used. This is equivalent to the --dehs option. USCAN_VERBOSE If this is set to yes, then verbose output will be given. This is equivalent to the --verbose option. USCAN_USER_AGENT If set, the specified user agent string will be used in place of the default. This is equivalent to the --user-agent option. USCAN_DESTDIR If set, the downloaded files will be placed in this directory. This is equivalent to the --destdir option. USCAN_REPACK If this is set to yes, then after having downloaded a bzip tar, lzma tar, xz tar, or zip archive, uscan will repack it to a gzip tar. This is equivalent to the --repack option. EXIT STATUS The exit status gives some indication of whether a newer version was found or not; one is advised to read the output to determine exactly what happened and whether there were any warnings to be noted. 0 Either --help or --version was used, or for some watch file which was examined, a newer upstream version was located. 1 No newer upstream versions were located for any of the watch files examined. HISTORY AND UPGRADING This section briefly describes the backwards-incompatible watch file fea‐ tures which have been added in each watch file version, and the first version of the devscripts package which understood them. Pre-version 2 The watch file syntax was significantly different in those days. Don't use it. If you are upgrading from a pre-version 2 watch file, you are advised to read this manpage and to start from scratch. Version 2 devscripts version 2.6.90: The first incarnation of the current style of watch files. Version 3 devscripts version 2.8.12: Introduced the following: correct han‐ dling of regex special characters in the path part, directory/path pattern matching, version number in several parts, version number mangling. Later versions have also introduced URL mangling. If you are upgrading from version 2, the key incompatibility is if you have multiple groups in the pattern part; whereas only the first one would be used in version 2, they will all be used in version 3. To avoid this behaviour, change the non-version-number groups to be (?:...) instead of a plain (...) group. SEE ALSO dpkg(1), perlre(1), uupdate(1) and devscripts.conf(5).

Prefer explicit -n to check non-empty string (or use =/-ne to check boolean/integer).
if [ "$1" ]
then
echo "True"

# Check if $1 is empty or non-empty
if [ -n "$1" ]
then
echo "True, $1 is a non-empty value"
fi
# Check instead if $1 is true or false, as in Java
[ "$1" = "true" ]
# Check instead if $1 is non-zero or zero, as in C
[ "$1" -ne 0 ]
# Check instead if $1 is defined (even if just assigned the empty string) or undefined
[ "${1+x}" = "x" ]
[ "$var" ]
is equivalent to [ -n "$var" ]
and checks that a string is non-empty.
Users more familiar with other languages are often surprised to learn that [ "$var" ]
is true when:
var=false
var=0
var=null
var=" "
Adding the explicit -n
helps clarify that this is a string comparison, and not related to any concept of boolean values or "truthiness" as it is in most languages.
If you are familiar with the semantics of [
, you can [[ignore]] this stylistic suggestion with no ill effects.

Fresh protests held in tense Guinea capital
Thousands of Guinean protesters took to the streets in the capital Conakry Thursday, in fresh demonstrations days after deadly clashes marred a funeral march for those killed in recent anti-government marches.
The poor West African country has been shaken by deadly clashes during weeks of protest over suspicions that President Alpha Conde is seeking to prolong his rule.
Demonstrators on Thursday vowed to march peacefully and demanded the release of government critics imprisoned since the beginning of the anti-government unrest.
Tensions in the capital are high just days after the deaths of three youths, who the opposition says were shot by the security services as they attended a funeral march for 11 people killed in unrest since mid-October.
At least 16 civilians and a police officer have been killed during the weeks of bloody clashes with security forces, according to the opposition, with dozens injured and dozens more arrested.
The National Front for the Defence of the Constitution (FNDC), an alliance of opposition groups that is behind the protests, plans further rallies in other parts of the country.
Unlike the first demonstrations, these have obtained the green light from authorities.
Conde has blamed the protesters for the gunfire and accused the opposition of trying to overthrow the government.
A former opposition figure who was jailed and spent time in exile under Guinea's previous authoritarian regimes, Conde became the country's first democratically elected president in 2010.
The 81-year-old, whose second term ends next year, launched constitutional consultations in September, saying the former French colony's basic law "concentrates corporate interests" and needed reform.
But his adversaries say the president will try to push through an amendment allowing him to seek a third term in the nation of 13 million. He has neither confirmed nor denied his intention to seek a third term in elections due in 2020.


A brief history of the NHRA Finals
The NHRA season closer hasn’t always been held at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. In fact, since the inaugural event in 1965, the race has been run at six locations, more places than any other NHRA race. Here is a look at the history of the event and the drama it always produces.
by Phil Burgess, NHRA National Dragster EditorAnd so we head off to Auto Club Raceway at Pomona this weekend for the 2019 Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season finale. For us here at National Dragster it’s a “home game” – the Pomona track is only about eight miles from NHRA HQ –- but that’s been the way it has been since the Finals came to California in 1974 after previous editions in Oklahoma and Dallas.
The Finals came to Pomona in 1984, making this 35 years that the season has started and ended in Pomona. A few years ago, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the World Finals, we produced a special book (still available on Amazon), where we tracked the event’s progress through its six venues to its current home in Pomona.
Here’s a quick look back at the history of the Finals.
Tulsa, Okla.: 1965-68
Seeking a place to crown its season champions, NHRA held the first World Finals at Southwest Raceway in Tulsa in 1965. To gain entry to the invitational event, competitors had to outlast opponents during a season-long points battle at divisional and regional events across North America. The rewards awaiting the champions totaled more than $70,000, including six new Ford Mustangs. In front of a packed house of spectators and the NBC Sports television cameras, Maynard Rupp claimed the Top Fuel championship and was joined in the winner’s circle by Jim Minnick (Top Gas), Virgil Cates (Comp), Gene Moody (Street), Joe Smith (Top Stock), and Doug Kahl (Junior Stock).
During its four-year run in Tulsa, the event was host to a number of significant milestones. In 1966, Eddie Schartman, driving Roy Steffy’s S/XS Mercury Comet, became Funny Car’s first world champion when he defeated “Dyno Don” Nicholson. A year later, hometown hero Bennie Osborn won the Top Fuel crown, and Gordon Collett (Top Gas) and popular Chico Breschini (Comp) were among the other big winners. Osborn returned to defend his title in 1968.

Dallas: 1969-70
In September 1969, barely a month before the event, NHRA announced that the World Finals would be moved to luxurious and new Dallas Int’l Motor Speedway, which also hosted the Springnationals earlier that year. Considered to be far ahead of its time, the Texas facility proved to be a suitable host for one of the biggest events of the season. The champions crowned during the invitational event included Steve Carbone (Top Fuel), Jack Jones (Top Gas), Jerry Gwynn (Super), Mike Fons (Street), and Ronnie Sox (Super Stock).

In 1970, the event was again held in Dallas and again provided the venue for the crowning of the season champions. However, it was not the final event of the season. That came a month later, in mid-November at the new Ontario Motor Speedway in Southern California. The season champions crowned included Sox, who held off Arlen Vanke for the win in the newly created Pro Stock class, Ben Griffin (Comp), Carroll Caudle (Modified), and Bobby Warren (Stock).
Amarillo, Texas: 1971-73
Following the closure of Dallas Int’l Motor Speedway, the NHRA World Finals remained in Texas, moving slightly westward. The 1971 season also featured a slight format adjustment for the event. Earlier, NHRA had created an East/West conference structure. Divisions 1, 2, and 3 were in the East conference, and the remaining four divisions made up the West conference. The top 16 points earners in each conference automatically qualified to race in Amarillo.
The 1971 event also marked the first time that NHRA used a correction factor for elapsed time because the track sat more than 3,700 feet above sea level. Also noteworthy is the debut of a Youth and Education Day attended by Amarillo High School vocational students, establishing a tradition of a youth-oriented program that continues to this day. The race was highlighted by huge upsets, including Gerry Glenn over a red-lighting “Big Daddy” Don Garlits in a classic front-engine versus rear-engine Top Fuel final.
In 1972, Top Fuel racer Jim Walther and Funny Car driver Larry Fullerton became NHRA world champions by winning the World Finals. Ironically, neither had won a national event before. Hard-luck Clayton Harris was the Top Fuel runner-up, and hard-luck Jake Johnston was the Funny Car runner-up for the second year in a row. Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, who had dominated Pro Stock all year with his Grumpy’s Toy Vega, ruled again.
The 1973 event, the final race in Amarillo, also marked the last time that the event was used to determine world champions. Jerry Ruth won the Top Fuel title by beating Gary Beck; it was his first national event title. In the Funny Car final, Frank Hall drove Jim Green’s Green Elephant Vega to a win over Bobby Rowe on a holeshot, and in the Pro Stock title round, Wayne Gapp turned in a record-setting performance to stop Jenkins.
Ontario, Calif.: 1974-80
Having already hosted the Supernationals for three years, the magnificent Ontario Motor Speedway seemed a fitting venue for the NHRA World Finals. The move also coincided with a major policy change that would use a season-long points competition to crown the sport’s national champions. Gary Beck, Shirl Greer, and Bob Glidden were the first champions under the new system, taking titles in Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock, respectively. Greer won his title in perhaps the most dramatic fashion: The Division 2 racer suffered burns to his hands and face during a fire Saturday but returned to drive in eliminations and score enough points to hold off Don “the Snake” Prudhomme.
READ MORE: Shirl Greer's dramatic 1974 season
The Ontario race produced some of the most impressive performances in NHRA history. The 1975 event is considered by many to be perhaps NHRA’s greatest event following “Big Daddy” Don Garlits’ landmark 5.63, 250.69-mph run in Top Fuel and Prudhomme’s 5.97, the first five-second Funny Car run. Garlits, Prudhomme, and Glidden were the world champions, the first crowned as part of a new title-rights sponsorship with Winston that had been announced earlier in the season.

At the 1978 event, Raymond Beadle returned to the winner’s circle in Funny Car, his first appearance since the 1975 U.S. Nationals, and Glidden retired his Ford Fairmont undefeated with the Pro Stock win. The final Ontario race, in 1980, was also dramatic, with Glidden winning his fifth Pro Stock championship by a narrow margin over rival Lee Shepherd, who failed to make the final for the first time all season. In Top Fuel, Shirley Muldowney sewed up her second world championship en route to her fourth national event win of the year. Muldowney became the first two-time Top Fuel champ with a semifinal victory over Gary Cornwall, then defeated a tire-smoking Frank Bradley in the final.
Shortly after the 1980 event, Ontario Motor Speedway was sold to a real-estate development company, marking the end of one of NHRA’s most beloved facilities.
East Irvine, Calif.: 1981-83
Following the demise of Ontario Motor Speedway, the NHRA World Finals moved to Orange County Int’l Raceway (OCIR) in East Irvine, Calif. A facility that had lobbied for an NHRA national event for more than a decade, popular OCIR provided a perfect location for the event, particularly after track operator Charlie Allen agreed to a number of improvements, including an expanded pit area, increased seating capacity, expanded and improved restroom facilities, improved PA system, and fresh paint. Then NHRA President Dallas Gardner noted, “When the Ontario situation arose, there really was no question about where to go with the World Finals. We feel very fortunate that such a fine facility was available to us and that Charlie Allen was as enthusiastic about the possibilities as we were.”
READ MORE: The rise and fall of Orange County Int'l Raceway
Gary Beck, Jim Dunn, and Lee Shepherd were crowned the Pro champions at the first national event at OCIR. Dunn’s victory over Gary Burgin proved to be his last as a driver. The 1981 event will also be long remembered for NHRA’s last Modified title, which Larry Kopp won after Paul Mercure missed a shift.
With Lee Beard as his crew chief, Jim Bernard won his first and only Top Fuel title at the 1982 World Finals, Tripp Shumake drove Billy Meyer’s “blocker” car to the Funny Car win, and Warren Johnson aced Lee Shepherd to win in Pro Stock.
The OCIR era came to a close following the 1983 event as the track suffered the same fate as Ontario, succumbing to a rise in urban development across Southern California. Shirley Muldowney, John Lombardo, and Johnson captured the final NHRA Wallys at OCIR, although the track later held a memorable Last Drag Race event that proved to be a fitting send-off.
Pomona: 1984-present
The NHRA World Finals again migrated across the Los Angeles basin, to Pomona Raceway, site of the season-opening NHRA Winternationals since 1961.
It didn’t take long for the Pomona Finals to produce its first upset when Sherm Gunn won the only Funny Car title of his career by beating Mark Oswald in the final. “Big Daddy” Don Garlits and Bob Glidden won in Top Fuel and Pro Stock, respectively, and the Pro Stock Motorcycle class also featured a notable upset when unheralded Mark Sauro scored against heavily favored Terry Vance in the final.
The season finale has since produced some of NHRA’s most dramatic moments, chief among them “The Run” in 2006, when Tony Schumacher threw a Hail Mary pass in the Top Fuel final with a 4.42 in the Alan Johnson-tuned U.S. Army dragster that beat Melanie Troxel and set the elapsed time record, which provided the points to overtake Doug Kalitta for the championship.
The battle for the 2012 Top Fuel world championship was captured in similarly dramatic fashion, but this time, Schumacher finished in second place after losing the final on a holeshot to Brandon Bernstein, a result that awarded the title to Antron Brown. That was the same year that Jack Beckman won the Funny Car championship by just two points over Ron Capps, who had previously lost it by just eight points in 2005 to Gary Scelzi. Capps would have his day, though, a few years later.
| CLOSEST POINTS FINISHES IN NHRA HISTORY | |||||
| Year | Class | Champion | Points margin | Second place | |
| 2012 | Funny Car | Jack Beckman | 2 | Ron Capps | |
| 2009 | Top Fuel | Tony Schumacher | 2 | Larry Dixon | |
| 2009 | Pro Stock Motorcycle | Hector Arana Sr. | 2 | Eddie Krawiec | |
| 2016 | Pro Stock | Jason Line | 3 | Greg Anderson | |
| 2010 | Pro Stock Motorcycle | LE Tonglet | 4 | Andrew Hines | |
| 2008 | Pro Stock Motorcycle | Eddie Krawiec | 5 | Chris Rivas | |
| 2007 | Pro Stock Motorcycle | Matt Smith | 6 | Andrew Hines | |
| 2012 | Top Fuel | Antron Brown | 7 | Tony Schumacher | |
| 2017 | Pro Stock | Bo Butner | 7 | Greg Anderson |
In 2014, the Pro Stock championship battle between Erica Enders and Jason Line came down to a thrilling, climactic final round — only the fourth time that has happened in NHRA history — where, incredibly, both drivers red-lighted. Line left earliest, and Enders left with the historic crown, the first-ever by a woman in the class. The Funny Car title didn’t get quite the far, decided in the semifinals when second-place John Force, who needed to win the race and set the national record, won the round to reach the final but did so without a necessary backup for the record. He got his chance for a little revenge on newly crowned Matt Hagan in the final and appeared to have won the round until his engine let loose, and Hagan steamed by to complete his amazing weekend.
The following year, Del Worsham was the big star of the weekend as the hometown hero not only outlasted season-long points and performance rival Jack Beckman to claim the Mello Yello Funny Car championship with the Kalitta Motorsports DHL Toyota, but he also went on to win the event to score his fourth victory of the six-race Countdown to the Championship playoffs. As has happened throughout the season, the Funny Car national e.t. record traded hands multiple times before Beckman finally secured it — and the valuable 20 points — in round two with a 3.884, cutting Worsham’s lead in half and setting up a winner-take-all semifinal clash that went to Worsham, 3.92 to 4.08.
The 2015 event also marked the end of carbureted engines in Pro Stock — a basic combination that has existed since the class’ inception in 1970 — and with the championship again decided in Enders’ favor at the previous event in Las Vegas, to say that teams wanted the bragging rights for the last race before the class switches to fuel injection in 2016 would be an understatement. The event also marked the end of Allen Johnson’s long primary sponsorship with Mopar, as saluted on the flanks of his Dart at the last two races, and the Tennessee veteran made it a memorable farewell.
Jason Line and Jerry Savoie clinched championships on the final day of the 2016 season. A day earlier, with the completion of qualifying, Ron Capps locked up his long-overdue first world championship in Funny Car, joining teammate Antron Brown, who had clinched the Top Fuel championship two weeks earlier in Las Vegas. Line began the event with a lead of less than a round-win over teammate Greg Anderson but pushed it to more than a round thanks to a stellar qualifying effort. When the two most dominant Pro Stock racers of the season predictably met in the final round, the title already belonged to Line. Savoie earned his first career world championship after he advanced to the semifinals while nearest contenders Eddie Krawiec and Andrew Hines were knocked out in the quarterfinals.
Brittany Force made history in Pomona in 2017, becoming just the second woman to win the NHRA Top Fuel world championship. She locked it up in the second round by defeating Richie Crampton. Steve Torrence, who entered the race with a 20-point lead, lost to Antron Brown one pair ahead of Force, leaving the title n her control, and she seized it and left her legendary father, John, in tears on the starting line, overcome with the emotion.
Last year’s finale was in line with its predecessors as Matt Smith won his third championship by running the fastest speed in Pro Stock Motorcycle history, 201.22 mph. Steve Torrence swept the Countdown to the Championship with his unprecedented sixth straight playoff win, J.R. Todd won his first Funny Car championship, and Comp winner David Rampy became just the fourth racer to earn 100 victories.
With all four championships still on the line entering this year’s event and Top Fuel being a real shootout between Torrence and Brittany Force, we could well be in for another headline-making addition to the history of the Finals.

Operation Santa: New York City kicks off annual USPS Santa Claus letter campaign
by WABCNEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- The Postal Service kicked off the 107th year of its iconic Operation Santa program Wednesday at the James A. Farley Post Office Building in Midtown.
The goal of the campaign is to give kids who may not be able to otherwise the happy holiday they deserve.
Started in 1912, Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized local Postmasters to allow postal employees and citizens to respond to the letters, a program that eventually became known as Operation Santa.
To celebrate 107 years, the USPS launched a new Operation Santa website that features letters from children across the country.
To mark the event, second grade students from a local school participated in letter-writing and singing festive songs after special excerpts from letters written to Santa were read.
Letter-writing kits were also being passed out in post offices across the boroughs.
Letters for Operation Santa can be sent to:
Santa Claus
123 Elf Road
North Pole 88888
For more information on how to adopt a letter or how to write a letter to Santa visit USPSOperationSanta.com
For more information on how to get involved visit the USPS FAQ.

Pope Francis denounces 'inhuman, un-Christian' rebirth of anti-Semitism: 'Jews are our brothers'
by Caleb ParkePope Francis warned against the “inhuman, un-Christian” rebirth of anti-Semitism in Italy after the issue reared its head in the country where the Vatican is situated.
Liliana Segre, an 89-year-old Auschwitz survivor and Italian senator, called for the creation of a parliamentary committee to combat hate, racism and anti-Semitism after revelations that she is subject to some 200 social media attacks each day.
