Falcom1 alaunch 212/28/2023 The Falcon 1 launch that carried Ratsat to orbit was the first successful orbital launch of any privately funded and developed, liquid-propellant carrier rocket, the SpaceX Falcon 1. NPR’s Russell Lewis contributed to this story.Ĭopyright 2022 WMFE. Ratsat, or DemoSat, was a 165-kilogram non-functional boilerplate spacecraft used as a mass simulator on the fourth flight of the Falcon 1 rocket. They’ll soon return to Earth in their own Crew Dragon capsule, splashing down off the coast of Florida. So far the private company has launched 30 people into space - both government and civilian space fliers.Ĭrew-5 will replace a crew of four which launched to the station back in April. The agency pays SpaceX for rides to the station. The mission is the fifth operational flight conducted by SpaceX for NASA’s Commercial Crew program. The crew is slated to dock at the space station 29 hours after launch at 4:57 p.m. “We have three first time fliers going to the International Space Station,” said NASA’s Cassada, the pilot of the mission.”What’s so great about this is we’re doing it for something greater than ourselves.” The second test flight was originally scheduled for January 2007, but was delayed because of problems with the second stage. Wakata has flown on multiple missions, logging more than 347 days in space. This is the first spaceflight for Mann, Casada and Kikina. With Wednesday’s launch, Mann becomes the first Native American woman to travel to space. “Thank you to our families for supporting us during this busy time. “We are excited and humbled to be a part of human exploration,” said NASA’s Nicole Mann, the commander of the mission. The four hitched a ride into orbit in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, launching on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket. During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations in areas such as human health and lunar fuel systems. 2, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Intl collective12/28/2023 The winner among selected finalists (“championship”) will be awarded free space in A.R.T. After the juror’s selection, all accepted entries (“Finalists”) would be exhibited for sale in the A.R.T. All medium are acceptable except video and installation. There has no entry fee for the submission and selected artists don’t need to come (your presence will be highly welcomed) the only thing you need to do is submitting the entry form on-line with two images and a statement. Negotiations resumed in January of 2022.The International Artist Grand Prize Competition (I.A.G.P.C.), one of Asia’s top art contests, is looking for worldwide masterpiece to exhibit in the Art Revolution Taipei (A.R.T.) scheduled in 2023 through this competition. Negotiations for this agreement began in January 2020 but were soon paused due to COVID-19 concerns. The previous pilot agreement was amended through a letter of agreement in 2018. Other significant improvements include 82 to 109 percent increases in override premiums for Check Airmen, 100 percent pay credit for both surface and air deadhead transportation, and a new rostering system that allows more flexibility and transparency for Reserve Pilots. It reflects the true value of these pilots and sends a clear message that you can have a lifelong career in aviation without the worry of how you’re going to put food on the table or keep the lights on in your house.” “This is what a Teamster contract looks like. “The new wage increases and significant improvements to the retirement program are a major victory for pilots at Republic Airways,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. This new plan will deposit up to 12 percent of a pilot’s earnings into their retirement fund, with no pilot contributions required that would be subject to IRS limitations. The existing 401(k) match program, which matched up to 9 percent of pilot contributions and was limited by IRS rules, was replaced with a non-elective defined contribution plan. In addition to wage increases, this agreement includes a significant improvement to the current retirement program. These rates are permanent, with no snap-back provisions that have been seen at other carriers. Captains, including senior Captains already near or at the top of the industry, will see a 54 percent increase. Under the new agreement, First Officers will see pay increases of 70 to 90 percent, with new First Officers receiving a 94 percent increase. “This new agreement certainly makes Republic Airways an attractive place to begin building skills and experience, and, more importantly, the compensation and retirement improvements will encourage many to stay for their entire career.” “The goal of these negotiations was to secure improvements that would attract new pilots who are beginning their career and retain the experienced pilots, some of the best in the industry, who are already on the property,” said Captain Josh LeBlanc, Teamsters Local 357 Executive Board President. Of the pilots represented by Teamsters Local 357 who participated, 91.5 percent voted in favor of the agreement. Press Contact: Josh LeBlanc Email: Ind.) – Republic Airways pilots have ratified a new agreement that includes historic increases to compensation and retirement benefits. Choosy moms and dads choose jif12/28/2023 In fact, the Honeybee gave Great Value low marks because it was “too oily” – considering Tony is a mechanic, maybe that’s why he liked it so much. In fact, my father-in-law Tony declared Great Value to be the best-tasting peanut butter hands down! However, the rave reviews stopped there. The least expensive brand in our survey – by far – did pick up two votes for the best-tasting peanut butter. Price per ounce: $0.10 (the least expensive brand sampled) She wrote down this one-word evaluation: “Crappy.” (Along with a smiley-face.) As for the dog, it only took him 78 licks to finish his sample, making Peter Pan the least creamy of the five surveyed peanut butter brands. On the other hand, Nina wasn’t impressed. Aunt Doris lauded the Peter Pan for its fresh peanut flavor. Here now, in reverse order, is a summary of the peanut butter taste test results, based upon the inputs of my expert panel:Īlthough it did manage to score two blue ribbons from the panelists, Peter Pan didn’t fare so well with the remaining experts. To keep things as close to a peanuts-to-peanuts comparison as possible, I purposely avoided organic and other “natural” peanut butters. I ran down to my local Albertsons supermarket and bought four brands of smooth peanut butter that they were offering for sale I also stopped by my local WalMart and picked up their store brand. Introducing The Peanut Butter Competitors My hypothesis: more licks suggests a creamier peanut butter.Īs always, before we get to the results, let’s once again meet our distinguished - not to mention choosy - panel of expert, um, mothers:Īge: Classified (Hint: It rhymes with “orange.”)Īge: 7 (By the way, Major’s vet tells me 7 is the new 6.) To do that I gave our pampered pooch a teaspoon of the peanut butter and then counted how many licks he took to completely swallow the sample. In another completely unscientific bonus test, I also utilized the dog to evaluate peanut butter smoothness. Using the Dog to Evaluate Peanut Butter Creaminess The panel was also free to note any accompanying comments they had regarding each sample. To ensure the taste test was a blind comparison, the original labels were removed and replaced with generic markings “A” through “E.”Īs with my recent ketchup taste test, the experts were asked to taste and then rank each peanut butter for taste and texture, from best to worst, with five points for the top performer and one point for the worst. With the panel in place, I placed five jars of smooth peanut butter on the table. For this experiment I managed to round up eight fearless volunteers (plus the dog, of course). But what if they aren’t?Īs with most of my other product taste tests, I recruited a bunch of family members as an expert panel. Yes, the odds are good that those chunks are nothing more than chopped peanuts. That being said, most Americans’ passion for peanut butter doesn’t stop after childhood.Īnd in case you’re wondering, a recent study found that 49% of consumers prefer smooth peanut butter, while just 29% prefer the crunchy stuff the rest like their peanut butter both ways.įrankly, I don’t see how anybody can eat crunchy peanut butter when I bite into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich I don’t want to be feeling chunks of anything in my mouth. ("Love the pencil baby one from a ways back" and my favorite of all time, the Robot Tattoo is just so funny on many levels and the reason I started following.)Īnyway, these observances are humbly submitted from a fan who likes to analyze things too much and who thinks that you have done much better than the last few strips.Before the average American kid gets his high school diploma he or she will supposedly eat 1500 peanut butter sandwiches. Let's go Mike! You are a master of clever puns or translating human experiences into incongruent settings. Choosy moms choose Jif does not imply non-choosy mom's don't choose Jif. Something like, "You said you were on the pill!" or - more positively - "Does this mean we're pregnant?!" Maybe a better ending would have turn on the word "mom". Maybe he could kiss her and say "Choosy Moms choose ME!" hehe. Is the joke that the guy's reaction is inappropriate and he hits her? Is it "funny" just because of the violence at the end? I think it could do better than going to inexplicable smacking. I there something deeper to this beyond "She chose Jif but she's not choosy!".

The United States itself has four different time zones: Pacific Time (PT), Mountain Standard Time (MT), Central Standard Time (CST) and Eastern Time Zone (ET).īefore proceeding to set up clocks, please note that you might not be able to set up accurate clocks for cities having a difference of fewer than 30 minutes. Not all countries have a uniform time over the same time zone. For example, if you wish to know what is the equivalent of 11 AM IST in the US, you will have to think about the cities closer to the time zone code. However, they require you to know the time zone abbreviation or the name of the cities for which, you wish to convert the time. There are many websites that help you convert the time at your place into a different time zone. You attend webinars (online meetings) that are scheduled in a different time zone.You might be traveling, and you wish to know both the time in the place you are and the current time in your country.Your clients or relatives live in a time zone other than your own.Here are some of the reasons why you would want Windows to show multiple clocks: Need For Multiple Time Zone Clocks In Windows By default, Windows asks for your location when you install it and shows the clock from the related time zone (UTC-12 to UTC+13: UTC stands for Universal Coordinated Time).

Yahoo messenger for mac book12/28/2023 I wonder why customers are gipped on the osX platform every time over this. Are we supposed to be gushing because it has a prettier interface, and hardly any extra functions than before?Īnd even the interface, with its large spacings between rows and bubbles during chats taking up so much space, is a step backwards as far as usability is concerned.įor any messenger to be worth its salt today, it should offer voice capabilities. it had cam support before, and it has now. Two years down the line from the last release, and this is what we get? What has really changed? It still does not offer voice capabilities, which defies understanding. I see complaints Everywhere from Mac Users !! I think Yahoo needs to step it up a notch. I just go to my profile and then to the box for view by ID to search. I also dont like the fact that this newer version wont allow you to see a persons profile at random.

Gyazmail illegal eof12/28/2023 The following Java program depicts the situation where we try to call the start() method when the run() method is already executing. Let's see some of the scenario where the IllegalStateException will be thrown. Note: IllegalStateException exception is not just limited to the Collections framework. GyazMail is a Mac based email client that is easy to use and many people use this application to handle their emails. A swift solution to migrate GyazMail emails to Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, etc. Out of these, List and Queues tend to throw the illegal state exception at the specific conditions. In this post, we will be discussing about how to migrate GyazMail to Outlook file format. The List, Queue, Maps, Tree are some of the collections. The exception may arise in the code usually when we are working with the Collections framework. It is thrown when a method call illegal or a method is called at incorrect time.įor example, once we start a thread, we cannot restart the same thread again if we try to do that, it throws a runtime exception i.e., IllegalStateException. GyazMail’s user interface and features often invite comparison with Apple’s Mail, and. It is raised by the programmer or by the API developer explicitly. GyazMail 1.2 (pronounced gaz mail ) is an OS X e-mail program from gifted Japanese developer Goichi Hirakawa. IllegalStateExceptionis the sub-class of RuntimeException class, and therefore it is an unchecked exception. It disrupts the normal flow of the code.įor example, the code throws an exception if the user has entered invalid information, if the code is unable to read the file located at the remote place, or if the network connection is lost in the middle of the communication. A Polícia Civil do Distrito Federal (PCDF) analisou 259 licitações, entre 2011 e este ano, nas quais o grupo foi vencedor. Most of the time, an exception occurs when there is an error in our code but it can be handled. Looking further I could bend about 3 of the rest of it to my will, leaving a small percentage (do the math, there will be a quiz later) remaining for the developer to fix, should I choose to bug him with requests. Simply drag this to whatever folder or disk you’d like to store it in. A new finder window will appear containing GyazMail application. Next → ← prev How to resolve IllegalStateException in Java?Īn exception is an unwanted and unexpected error thrown in the program. When I found GyazMail I was intrigued, as it appeared to do 95 of the things I wanted it to do right out of the gate. Double-click the file you just downloaded (GyazMail-165.dmg). Openscad letters12/28/2023 Slow enough to prevent me from doing what I wanted, which was to generate large, varying scalemail patterns:īut something was off: my slicer software (Cura) was able to handle 10x10 grids of my scalemail pattern without breaking a sweat, so why was OpenSCAD so slow? So after investigating alternatives (wasn’t keen to get locked in a certain popular but proprietary CAD software with huge a learning curve and high prices after its 1 year hobbyist licenses), I dove into OpenSCAD’s codebase and tried to understand what it was up to. Last year I grew fond of it to design ever more complex models, but started running into limitations: while interactive rendering was fine, the final rendering (creating the STL files to give to the 3D printing slicer) was horrendously slow. A simple declarative programming language defines Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) operations like unions, intersections, differences, which can be parameterized with loops and variables. It’s essentially a CAD software for programmers with a minimalist UI. OpenSCAD is a popular open-source design tool for 3D printing afficionados (and others). Rewriting trees to increase laziness and parallelizability.What about multithreading? Or skipping operations altogether? □.CGAL’s other hidden gem: corefinement functions.CGAL Nef Polyhedra + GMP = so precise it hurts (performance).Note: opinions expressed here are my own. Make your models more ambitious and report issues / successes here! At the end of every project, users can export high quality, solid and watertight STL files of their models.TL DR: OpenSCAD users: download a nightly build & enable fast-csg in settings for 10x faster render (YMMV). They make it easy to craft models with specific tolerances, enclosed hinges, moving parts, precise measurements, and those that use procedural or mathematical information. These underlying technologies allow the software to make parametric designs with ease. OpenSCAD relies on multiple free technologies which include CGAL for implementation and evaluation of CSG, Qt for the user interface, and OpenGL & OpenCSG for previewing CSG. The use of numbers facilitates the ease of adjusting the shape, size, and other key aspects of the designs. In addition, changes and new creations are built with numbers, which translates to measurable results at the end of the project. The solution empowers you to define customizable variables in the design and alter them at any point of the design process. This enables users to customize the steps in the modeling process. In addition, OpenSCAD can read and build 3D model in other files formats like OFF and STL.Īlthough OpenSCAD doesn’t offer interactive modeling, it leverages configurable parameters and script files to put engineers in complete control over their design process. The extrusion of 2D outlines modeling technique allows users to take advantage of having the solution interpret design parameters from the AutoCAD DXF files. The application offers a definitive modeling method hinged on extrusion of 2D outlines and constructive solid geometry (CSG). It is a free software that allows Windows, Linux, and MacOS users to design solid ACAD objects with ease. OpenSCAD is a powerful 3D compiler founded on a textual description language to offer a new approach to 3D modeling. World conqueror 2 counterattack12/28/2023 The aggressive actions of Reynald did help bring more Muslims to Saladin's banner. It would take several years for the tide to turn in Saladin’s favor, as the contestants jockeyed for advantage," wrote Man. His authority remained tenuous in a region seething with unstable elements. He caught Saladin off guard, attack his men at Montgisard in 1177, killing 2,000 of Saladin's men. However, before he could consolidate his power further he was attacked by Reynald de Châtillon, a Christian crusader who had been harrassing Muslim caravans. It was at this point he took the name Sultan Salah al-Din meaning 'Righteousness of the Faith'. Only Aleppo and Mosul remained outside his control. By 1176, when he returned to Cairo, he was master of Syria, Egypt, and much of north Africa and the west of Arabia," wrote Man Future unity meant that current enemies would one day be allies, so he was magnanimous, banning indiscriminate slaughter and releasing captives. Twice he survived attempts on his life by the most violent of the Shia subsects, the Assassins, dedicated to killing anyone of whom they disapproved. "It took two years to beat or cajole them into allegiance. While Saladin downplayed his ambition, Damascus offered a foothold in Syria, but the other major cities of Mosul, Edessa, Aleppo, Hama, Baalbek and Homs were all semi-independent. Saladin was invited by the governor of Damascus to take control of the city, and so he left Egypt, now much richer and prosperous. To do this, he had to get back to Syria," wrote Man. "Saladin saw he could fill the void by pursuing a grand vision: to unite Egypt and Syria, and on this foundation retake Jerusalem and drive out the Crusaders. In 1174, another fortunate turn of events played into Saladin's hands as Nur al-Din, his mentor, collapsed and died after playing a game of polo. The early years of Saladin's rule in Egypt seem to have been very successful with taxation of the rich, alms given to the poor and trade encouraged among all nationalities and religions. (Image credit: Photo Researchers / Contributor via Getty Images) Saladin united the Muslim world through alliances and conquest, joining Egypt and Syria under his rule. Saladin was now ruler of Egypt and still only in his early 30s. He was additionally aided by the surprising death of the caliph aged only 20, possibly from poisoning. 10, 1171), in the Friday prayers, he had the name of the local caliph replaced by that of the Baghdad caliph- the start of Saladin’s Ayyubid Dynasty (1171-1260)," wrote Man. On the first day of the Muslim new year (Sept. "In response, he built a ruthless secret service, put his father in charge of Alexandria and his elder brother in charge of the south, built up the navy and replaced Shiite officials with Sunnis. Meanwhile, the presence of so many Syrians in Egypt was raising tensions in the region too. However, he now found his loyalties divided between Egypt where he was now an advisor to the young caliph al-Adid, to the caliph in Baghdad and to Nur al-Din in Damascus. Saladin, his modesty unaffected by power and splendor, committed himself not just to jihad, but also to good government and service to the Sunni Caliph in Baghdad," wrote Man In a lavish ceremony, Caliph al-Adid confirmed him in office, spelling out in flowery words Saladin’s duty to wage holy war: 'As for the jihad, thou art the nursling of its milk… Gird up therefore the shanks of spears to meet it'. Baalbek - ancient, with crisp air smelling of orchards and gardens - was at the centre of the Muslim world, which reached from Spain to India and inspired glorious buildings, rich literature and first-rate science," wrote John Man, historian and author of " Saladin: The Life, the Legend and the Islamic Empire (opens in new tab)" (Random House, 2013) in "Saladin: The First Sultan" for All About History (opens in new tab) magazine issue 102. This was the first of many strokes of good luck that shaped his life. "His father, Ayyub, took him to Baalbek in today’s Lebanon to escape a family feud. He was the son of Najm al-Dīn Ayyūb, a politician and soldier, and the family moved around, living in Baalbek, then Mosul during Saladin's early life and later Damascus as he approached his teenage years. Saladin, full name Al-Nasir Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, was a Sunni Muslim Kurd, born in Tikrit, Upper Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) in 1137, known in his younger years as simply Yusuf. He also has a positive reputation in the West, despite having fought against the Crusaders, thanks to perceptions of his relative nobility and fairness. Saladin is remembered as a great military leader whose legacy as a uniting figure for different Islamic sects means he is a prominent figure in a number of cultures.
