At this point, you’ve spent all the work defining the experiment, fundraising, and growing a community. Now’s your chance to let the science shine.
There’s only one formula for successfully sharing discovery on Experiment - do it often, and do it honestly. Don’t hold back. The only way to mess this up is if after your backers have helped to make the project happen, they never hear back from you. It’s important that your backers enjoy being a part of your project.
Every experiment gathers data and works towards a conclusion. This is what your backers expect in return for funding your project! Negative results are just as important as positive results. A successful experiment will be able to share either as the final outcome.
On Experiment, scientists are storytellers, and sharing updates through your online Lab Notebook is how you’ll tell your story. You might not realize it, but your backers will be glued to your every word hoping to share in the moment of discovery. The Lab Notebook is your paper trail for backers to look back on.
A Lab Note, pictured below, is a unit of science. Each Lab Note belongs to an Experiment.
You’ll find the Lab Notes tab on your project page. This is your collection.
There's no agenda for a Lab Note. You can explain real-time results, take a deep-dive into one of your techniques, or clarify an important concept. Whatever topic you choose, think of each Lab Note as a natural extension of your project page.
Broadly, lab notes fall into two main categories:
Project update - This is why Experiment exists. We live for these. Time and again, backers tell us they just want to see a project (or researcher) that they care about move forward. Like checking in with Mom, reward your backers by updating them on your progress. A few of our favorite examples:
Curiosity - The key difference is that these can be made any time, not just after the project is under way. Often tangentially related to the project, you can use a Lab Note to dive into a topic of your choice. While fundraising, these are a great way to spread the word about your project. We’ve included plenty of examples below.
“Curiosity” Lab Notes are effective tools during fundraising. In the example below, Kyle profiles a current event that’s related to his project. Rather than sharing his main project page, which he’s already done, Kyle posts this Lab Note to social media (and elsewhere).
This keeps his message fresh - the Lab Note is a new angle on his project - and is far more effective than simply sharing his project page again. A reader can visit his project page simply by clicking the “Fund this project” button on the right side.
So far, we’ve found that 25% of readers who click the “Fund this project” go on to contribute.
Before launching your project, try drafting at least 2 Lab Notes. They can be of either variety.
Above: The researcher, Kyle, explains how social media outrage, a topic he studies, can be productive in the real world. You can find the full Lab Note here.
As you’ll notice, there are no rules about length or format. Generally, Lab Notes with photos, animated GIFs, or videos draw the most attention. Make sure, though, that you explain what you’re showing and how it fits into your project.
Some of the most thoughtful discussion on Experiment happens in the comments on Lab Notes. You can facilitate this discussion by ending your Lab Note with an open-ended question or by asking for feedback on your design or result.
As the project owner, you always have the option of keeping certain posts private to your backers only. When you do this, the post will be hidden to non-backers.
As far as frequency goes, two thoughtful Lab Notes a week is a good benchmark while fundraising. Once the frenzy of fundraising is over, one update-style Lab Note per week is a good target.
Part of every research process is a place for the methods. On your project page, there is a section for you to share your methods and protocols directly with your community.
Good science should be reproducible. And, for a reserach study to be reproduced the methods must be accessible and accurate. The methods section is a place for you to explain in detail what protocols you followed to complete the proposed project.
As we all know well, research does not always go as planned. As your methods and protocols evolve you can update your methods section accordingly. Treat this like a work in progress. When you're ready to share your conclusions and results with your community the methods section should be finalized so that others could try use your methods in a future study.
Every research project comes to a stopping point where you're ready to share what you've discovered with the rest of us. The results section is where you can upload your results online for everyone to see.
Whether you've published your work in a peer-reviewed journal, presented an oral presentation at an annual research conference, or finished writing a final report of your findings this is where your results will live on your project on Experiment. The results will be open for review by scientists all over the Internet.
Once you submit your results your results will also be shown to the whole Experiment community alongside the other research projects here.
Before you are ready to upload results you are encouraged to estimate a date for when the backers should expect results and use that as a placeholder. Negative results are still results! This should be the date in which you think you will have completed the data collection and put together conclusions that you are ready to share. On Experiment we understand that in science things don't always go as planned, so if something comes up try to be as transparent as possible with your backers and community.
In your project dashboard, you’ll also be able to see analytics and metrics for your project and lab notes. You’ll be able to see just how engaging your lab notes are, and what your backers enjoy seeing.
Once you’ve completed gathering the data, it’s time to share the results. At this point, you can publish your final lab note and you’ll be able to mark you project as complete. Once this is done, all of your labnotes will then be made openly available to the public.

title: Postgres fdw

text:
(Foreign Data Wrapper) extension provides a powerful and standards-compliant way to access data stored in external Postgres databases from your Neon project. For compliance or regulatory reasons, you might need to keep sensitive data on-premises or within a specific jurisdiction; postgres_fdw
lets you query this data directly from your Neon database without migrating it, maintaining data residency. This enables you to leverage Neon's features while adhering to data storage policies. This simplifies data integration, enables cross-database querying, and allows you to build applications that seamlessly interact with data across different Postgres deployments.
This guide will walk you through the essentials of using the postgres_fdw
extension in Neon. You'll learn how to enable the extension, establish connections to remote Postgres servers, define foreign tables that map to tables on those servers, and execute queries that span across your Neon database and remote instances. We will also cover important considerations for performance and security when working with postgres_fdw
is a core Postgres extension that can be installed on any Neon project using the instructions below. It provides a standardized way to access external Postgres databases and is widely used for data integration and cross-database querying.
Please refer to the list of all extensions available in Neon for up-to-date extension version information.
Before diving into the practical steps, let's understand the key components involved in using postgres_fdw
- Foreign server: Represents the connection details to the external Postgres server. This includes information like the host, port, and database name of the remote server.
- User mapping: Defines the authentication credentials used to connect to the foreign server. This maps a local Neon user to a user on the remote server.
- Foreign table: A locally defined object in your Neon database that represents a table located on the foreign server. Queries against the foreign table are transparently executed on the remote server.
The process of connecting to a remote Postgres database involves two main steps: creating a foreign server and setting up a user mapping.
The CREATE SERVER
command is used to define the connection parameters for the remote Postgres server.
When setting up postgres_fdw
with a Neon database as the foreign server, make sure to use the hostname from an unpooled connection string. Pooled connection strings will result in connection errors. You can find the unpooled connection string in your project dashboard by clicking the Connect button and ensuring the Connection pooling toggle is disabled.
Replace the placeholders with the actual details of your remote Postgres server:
: The hostname or IP address of the remote server.<remote_port>
: The port number the remote Postgres server is listening on (usually 5432).<remote_database>
: The name of the database on the remote server you want to access.
The CREATE USER MAPPING
command specifies the credentials to use when connecting to the foreign server. This maps a user in your Neon database to a user on the remote server.
Replace the placeholders with the appropriate values:
: The username of the user in your Neon database that will be accessing the foreign server. UsePUBLIC
if you want to allow all users to access the foreign server with the same credentials.my_remote_server
: The name of the foreign server you created in the previous step.<remote_user>
: The username on the remote Postgres server.<remote_password>
: The password for the remote user.
For example, to map the current Neon user to the read_only_user
user on the production_db
Once the connection to the remote server is established, you need to define foreign tables in your Neon database that correspond to the tables you want to access on the remote server. There are two primary ways to do this: creating foreign tables manually or importing the schema.
The CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
command allows you to explicitly define the structure of a remote table in your Neon database. You need to specify the column names and data types, which must match the remote table's schema.
Replace the placeholders with the appropriate details:
: The name you want to give the foreign table in your Neon database.<column_name>
: The names and data types of the columns, matching the remote table.my_remote_server
: The name of the foreign server you created.<remote_schema>
: The schema name where the table resides on the remote server (oftenpublic
: The name of the table on the remote server.
For example, to create a foreign table named remote_users
that maps to the users
table in the public
schema of the production_db
The IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA
command provides a convenient way to automatically create foreign tables for all or a subset of tables within a schema on the remote server.
: The name of the schema on the remote server you want to import.my_remote_server
: The name of the foreign server.<local_schema>
: The schema in your Neon database where the foreign tables will be created. If the schema doesn't exist, you'll need to create it first.
For example, to import all tables from the analytics
schema of the production_db
server into a local schema named imported_data
You can also selectively import tables using the LIMIT TO
Import specific tables:
Import all tables except specific ones:
Once foreign tables are defined, you can query them using standard SQL SELECT
statements, just like regular local tables. The postgres_fdw
extension handles the communication with the remote server and retrieves the data transparently.
To select all the users from the remote_users
You can perform joins between local tables and foreign tables, aggregate data from remote sources, and use any other SQL features supported by Postgres.
also supports data modification operations on foreign tables, including INSERT
, and DELETE
. However, it's important to understand the limitations and potential performance implications.
currently lacks full support for INSERT
statements with an ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
clause. However, the ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
clause is supported.
Querying foreign tables can sometimes be slower than querying local tables due to network latency and the overhead of communicating with the remote server. Here are some strategies to optimize performance:
: You can instructpostgres_fdw
to request cost estimates from the remote server. This can help the query planner make better decisions, especially for complex queries. Set this option at the server or table level: -
Foreign Tables: RunningANALYZE
on foreign tables collects statistics about the remote data and stores them locally. This helps the query planner generate more efficient execution plans. However, remember that these statistics can become stale if the remote data changes frequently. -
Materialized Views: For frequently accessed data from foreign tables, consider creating materialized views in your Neon database. Materialized views store a snapshot of the remote data locally, which can significantly improve query performance. You can refresh materialized views periodically to keep the data relatively up-to-date.
Filtering and Projections: When querying foreign tables, try to apply filters (
clause) and select only the necessary columns to reduce the amount of data transferred over the network.
extension provides several utility functions to manage connections established with remote Postgres servers. These functions allow you to monitor active connections and explicitly disconnect from foreign servers.
: This function provides insights into the active connections established bypostgres_fdw
from your current Neon session to remote servers. It returns a set of records, with each record containing the foreign server name and a boolean indicating the validity of the connection. A connection is considered invalid if the foreign server or user mapping associated with it has been changed or dropped while the connection is being used in the current transaction. Invalid connections will be closed at the end of the transaction.The output will resemble:
In this example, there are two open connections. The connection to
is valid (t
), while the connection tostaging_db
is invalid (f
), likely due to a change on the remote server or user mapping. -
: This function allows you to explicitly close open connections established bypostgres_fdw
to a specific foreign server. It takes the name of the foreign server as an argument. Note that if there are multiple connections to the same server using different user mappings, this function will attempt to disconnect all of them. If any of the connections to the specified server are currently in use within the ongoing transaction, they will not be disconnected, and warning messages will be issued. The function returnstrue
if at least one connection was successfully disconnected andfalse
otherwise. An error is raised if no foreign server with the given name is found.The output will be:
: This function provides a way to close all open connections established bypostgres_fdw
from your current Neon session to any foreign server. Similar topostgres_fdw_disconnect
, connections in use within the current transaction will not be closed, and warnings will be generated. The function returnstrue
if at least one connection was disconnected andfalse
These functions offer greater control over postgres_fdw
connections, allowing you to manage resources and ensure connections are closed when no longer needed. Using postgres_fdw_get_connections
can be helpful for monitoring and troubleshooting connection issues, while the disconnect functions can be used for cleanup or in scenarios where you need to force a reconnection with updated credentials or server configurations.
When working with postgres_fdw
, security is paramount. Keep the following points in mind:
- Network security: Ensure that network access is properly configured to allow connections between your Neon project and the remote Postgres server. Firewalls and security groups might need adjustments.
- Principle of Least Privilege: Grant only the necessary permissions to the user mapped to the remote database. Avoid using superuser accounts for
connections. - SSL encryption: Ensure that the connection to the remote Postgres server is encrypted using SSL. This is often the default behavior for Postgres connections, but it's worth verifying the configuration.
While both postgres_fdw
allow you to connect to remote Postgres databases, postgres_fdw
is generally the preferred choice for the following reasons:
- SQL standards compliance:
adheres more closely to SQL standards for accessing external data. - Performance:
often provides better performance due to its more efficient implementation. - Feature set:
offers a richer feature set, including support for data modification operations and more sophisticated query planning. - Maintainability: Using a standardized approach like
can lead to more maintainable and portable code.
might be suitable for simple, one-off tasks, but for robust and scalable integration with remote Postgres databases, postgres_fdw
is the recommended solution.
extension is a valuable tool for Neon users who need to access and integrate data from remote Postgres databases. By establishing connections to foreign servers, defining foreign tables, and executing queries that span across local and remote databases, you can build powerful applications that leverage data from multiple sources seamlessly.

Arria Music launches bold anti-war themed album at Trinity Church, Falkirk on 12 April
Penned and performed by Kirsty Heggie, who formed Arria Music just last year, this album has huge relevance for everyone, especially people of Falkirk and Camelon.
The last album "Siren Of Iris" was launched at the Burgh Halls last year and featured on BBC sounds reaching number 11 on Folk Album Charts.
Hide AdKirsty, 33, wrote this years album swiftly, without hesitation after building the vision and ethos behind Arria Music during lockdown.
Living right next to the Rosebank distillery, she thought of the future: of music, of her town, of Falkirk and the wider world.
"Watching the Rosebank distillery come to life was symbolic of my own visions coming to life.
"As I moved into Christian Faith, I wanted to use music in a different way. Music can be very influential and sometimes people are spreading toxic messages. I wanted to start again and use music to help my community, to integrate myself into that community by learning about it and writing about it.
Hide Ad"I later thought of refugees and how they must feel adapting to a new country, and so Morrigan was created as a welcome song for these people.
"Although from Falkirk, I left at 17 to study at Uni, and never got to know it. I returned before lockdown to be closer to family, and in walking around in the stillness, I got to know the town better.
"As I couldn't perform, I started doing commissioned songs for individuals and businesses.
"I see how Falkirk is expanding and it's obvious potential. This album if for the locals, for tourists, for war victims, for refugees, for people who need some soothing and anyone who is lacking in hope for the future"
Some songs look at history: "The Rosebank Roses"
Hide Ad"The Unicorn Song" looks at Scotland's future and is aimed at younger people too, to feel empowered to vote and speak out about issues with collaborations from renowned rappers.
"Behind The Wall" makes reference to the fantastic bar and suggests we all stop hiding behind the wall of our virtual selves and come have a chat down at the bar/restaurant and reconnect.
"A Year In The Woods" is about fighting the habit of self isolating. Solitude is good but isolation can be toxic.
"Mórrigán" is a plea to the Irish/Celtic deity of war and sovereignty.
":No war, ever again, Mórrigán!"
"Maybe it's naïve but it can't hurt!
Hide AdI've set the price for this launch really affordable so that people can come and enjoy the message and experience it, with an opportunity to make donations, purchase the album and merchandise"
tickets only £5 on the door.
With proof of address, I'm letting Mariners in for free.
It's pretty spacious so I'm sure we will manage.

Deji Adebayo, Abuja
The President, Muhammadu Buhari has Inaugurated the seven newly appointed Ministers recently confirmed by the Senate and administered portfolios to them
The swearing in ceremony was heard inside the Executive Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa moments before the week’s virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting kicked off. While speaking, the President congratulated the new Ministers and urged them to give their best in the discharge of their duties.
Buhari urged the new Ministers to consider their emergence as a call to duty, which demands diligent service to the nation.
The President also reminded them of his administration’s main objectives in improving the economy, fighting corruption and infrastructural development.
He advised them to take wise counsels and work closely with permanent secretaries in their various ministries.
Those sworn in today are Umana Okon Umana (Akwa-Ibom) as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs. He takes over from his kinsman, Godswill Akpabio; Ikoh Henry Ikechukwu (Abia) the Minister of State for Science and Technology; Umar Ibrahim El-Yakubu (Kano) is Minister of State, Works and Housing.
Others are are Goodluck Nanah Opiah (Imo) as Minister of State for Education; Ekumankama Joseph Nkamah (Ebonyi) as Minister of State for Health; Odum Udi (Rivers) Minister of State for Environment and Ademola Adewole Adegoroye (Ondo), Minister of State for Transportation.
The President also announced a cabinet reshuffling, which involved the redeployment of some old Ministers to new offices.
Among those affected by the reshuffling are Senator Olorunimbe Mamowara former Minister of State for Health, now Minister of Science and Technology; Sharon Ikeazor, who was Minister of State for Environment, now Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs.
Others are Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, who was Minister of State for Works and Housing, now Minister of Transportation; while former Minister of State for Transportation, Senator Gbemisola Saraki, is now Minister of State for Mines and Steel.
Before the commencement of the week’s Council meeting, a minute silence was observed in honour of Mohammed Barkindo, the outgoing Secretary-General of OPEC, who died on Tuesday night, hours after he met with President Buhari.

Elmwood no more, long live Elmwood! Elmwood Electronics and PiShop are now together!
Please order via PiShop.ca, as we are no longer taking orders through this site.
More details are in our blog!
This SHIM provides a convenient way of powering your Raspberry Pi Pico from a LiPo/LiIon battery. You can recharge the battery easily by providing power to the Pico's USB port.
Solder this neat little square to the pins on the back of your Pico, plug in a suitable lithium-ion/polymer battery and tada - a LiPo Pico! The inbuilt charging circuit means you can recharge the attached battery by supplying power to the Pico via USB, and it includes protection against overdischarge and overcurrent. There's a power button to stop the SHIM from providing battery power when it's not needed and turn your project on and off, as well as two LED indicators - a white one that shows when the shim is providing power and a red one to tell you when the battery is being charged.
We've designed it to be as slimline as possible so it can be sandwiched underneath other add-ons like our Pico Packs and Bases, and it's compatible with any of our LiPo, LiIon and high capacity LiPo batteries.
Safety note! You should only use this SHIM with LiPo or LiIon batteries, and you should make sure that any project involving LiPos is sufficiently protected from being dented, bent, punctured or crushed.
Raspberry Pi Pico, battery and other Pico add-ons are not included!
You'll need to solder the SHIM to the back of your Pico, with the power button at the same end as the USB port. The text on the SHIM and the pin labels on the back of the Pico should be facing each other.
You can use LiPo SHIM for Pico with any Pico OS as it doesn't require any software installing to work.
We've put together a MicroPython example showing how you can read the system voltage from Pico's VSYS pin to estimate how much charge is left in the battery, and display it on Pico Explorer or Pico Display.
Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible, low cost microcontroller development board from the folks at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own chip - the RP2040. It's easily programmable over USB with C/C++ or MicroPython, and ideal for using in all sorts of physical computing projects, devices and inventions - we're so excited to see what you make with it!
We've called our Pico-sized add-ons packs, as they're designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a very stylish back pack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). We've also got Pico bases (larger add-on boards with a space to mount your Pico on top) and some other boards that let you do interesting hackerly things like using multiple packs at once - click here to view them all!
Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it (with the pins pointing downwards) to attach to our add-on boards.

title: The power of pets

text:
I have had cats since I was in my twenties, and after 4 decades of caring for many wonderful felines , I just had to share this most recent story. My older cat, Vinny, has been fighting a fast growing carcinoma on his neck. After having four surgeries every 3 months or so, my vet advised me to take him to a cancer center. I really needed to get another opinion so I could become more educated about how animals get the same cancers as humans do. It’s been 2 years of trying to lengthen his life and keep him comfortable. They assured me as long as he is eating and acting normal, he is not in any pain. So I took the advice of the specialist and began chemo. First we used a pill form, while adding anti-nausea meds & appetite stimulants. He did not show any negative signs or reaction to this treatment, so we did this for 12 sessions in one month. With no real difference in the size of the tumors, they recommended an injectable Chemo. So far, Vinny is doing really well , eating and drinking special milk for cats. We will continue as long as he improves, he is actually very active and more affectionate than ever!
I wanted to write about this because so many of us are not aware that it is so important to look for answers and never give up. My cats are my children and have given me so much love and pleasure, I just cannot give up on them! I am seeing such positive results and have such gratitude for my vet , Dr. Michael Woltz for being such a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. He has been with me step by step and I recommend his Central Animal Hospital to everyone I know.
Stay tuned for more stories about how pets affect our lives!

One of the standouts of today's morning trading session was Dollar Tree, which logged a 3.3% performance and outperformed the S&P 500 by 0.0%. The Department Store stock is now trading at $75.21 per share and may still have upside potential because it is still -10.34% under its average target price of $83.88. Analysts have set target prices ranging from $70.0 to $104.0 dollars per share, and have given the stock an average rating of buy.
For the greater market's outlook on the stock, we can use Dollar Tree's short interest as a proxy. The short interest represents the proportion of the float's shares that are tied to short positions, meaning that the investor believes the stock will decline in the future. Here, the stock's short interest is 7.2% which means the outlook is split.
Short selling involves borrowing shares and then selling them at current market prices. In the successful version of the strategy, the shares are purchased at a lower price at some time in the future. The investor then returns the shares to the lender, and keeps the profit made on the sell/buy transaction.
Another way to gauge the sentiment on Dollar Tree is to look at the percentage of institutions that are invested in the stock. In this case, 103.6% of the shares are held by pension, mutual, and hedge funds, which shows that these institutions probably have strong confidence in the stock.
If institutions are invested in a particular stock, it shows in most cases that they have performed quality research and concluded that it is a good investment. In some cases, however, increases in institutional ownership could be a sign of a takeover attempt or proxy fight, which can actually injure share prices. Also, institutions are not infallible, and can certainly make miscalculations -- often with spectacular results.
In conclusion, we see mixed market sentiment regarding Dollar Tree because of an analyst consensus of some upside potential, a buy rating, an average amount of shares sold short, and a significant number of institutional investors. At Market Inference, we believe that any investment decision should be preceded by an in-depth analysis of the company's fundamental values and a comparison with similar stocks.
Here's a snapshot of some important facts to keep in mind about DLTR:
The stock has trailing 12 month earnings per share (EPS) of $4.83
Dollar Tree has a trailing 12 month Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 15.6 compared to the S&P 500 average of 29.3
The company has a Price to Book (P/B) ratio of 4.07 in contrast to the S&P 500's average ratio of 4.74
Dollar Tree is a Consumer Discretionary company, and the sector average P/E and P/B ratios are 22.6 and 3.19 respectively

Radio and the Telephone: CKUA moves to AGT
The move of CKUA from the responsibility of the
University of Alberta to the Alberta provincial government began in September 1944. By then, the station had solved the problem of broadcast interference from a growing number of new Edmonton stations by increasing its power from 500 to 1,000 watts in 1941. Station coverage extended from Peace River in the north to Vulcan in the south.
In 1937, CKUA had entered into a relationship with the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
(CBC) to carry programming not broadcast on its basic Edmonton station
CJCA. This would impact heavily on CKUA's persona and by 1944, 43 per cent of its broadcast time was devoted to CBC programming.
As well, in 1944, the station had an arrangement with the American Army, then building the Alaska Pipeline, to provide a nightly newscast via a telephone line to CFWH Whitehorse.
(CKUA's relationship with the CBC would end in 1950 when CFWH Whitehorse joined the CBC network.)
Despite the high proportion of programming, the CBC relationship was not particularly lucrative to
CKUA, as CBC content was commercial free. CKUA's existence remained financially tenuous, with the station relying upon the provincial government and university for funding.
The sale of CKUA to the provincial government's minister of railways and telephones began in April 1944 when the university's board of governors moved to apply for a licence transfer in exchange for continuing the university's Monday to Friday broadcasts three hours daily, and maintaining its commercial-free status. The cost to the government would be $2 - a purchase evenly split between the station's transmitter equipment and the land on which the transmitter stood.
The sale and licence transfer would not be final until May 1, 1945 and at the end of July, CKUA's facilities were moved from the U of A campus across the Saskatchewan River to the Provincial Building. However, as late as 1959, any official declaration of the transfer of assets appears to be missing, according to Marylu Walters in her book,
CKUA: Radio Worth Fighting For, published in 2002. Despite the apparent hand-over to the government, the university annually would renew the station's licence with the federal regulator for the next 25 years, invoicing the station for the fee. On its side, the provincial government periodically would apply for a commercial licence … and would be regularly turned down.
Alberta Government Telephones would own and operate CKUA until 1973, a period that would see the station increasing its wattage and reach throughout the province. But these improvements were largely the work of CKUA management and staff, not the provincial government. Indeed, Walters quotes editorialists and staff alike criticizing the government's "benign neglect" of the station.
"AGT really had no interest," says station manager Jack Hagerman of that period. "They would just as soon have been out from under it. They didn't really care, except that the general manager at AGT … in my years usually took some pride in the radio station. They looked at it as something they were doing for the community that reflected well upon them. So the end result was that they stayed out."
By 1974, the provincial government would leave the airwaves to a newly created organization - The Alberta Educational Communications Corporation, more popularly known as ACCESS.

Red oak hardwood floors are known and loved for their reddish hues and natural beauty. Thanks to their appealing nature, red oak wood is common for projects like kitchen cabinets, paneling, doors, and millwork, and today it is an excellent flooring option. Indigenous to North America, red oak trees grow in many parts of Mexico, Central America, the United States, and Southeast Canada. Growing as large as one hundred feet tall or more, red oak trees produces hardwood that is good-looking as well as useful.
The grain of red oak differs significantly from white oak. While it is a straight-grained wood, when compared to white oak, red oak has lines that are wider and even curly in some spots. Wavy lines in hardwood mean that the grain does not run vertically in line with the tree, but instead, the direction of the lines run more “wildly.” Red oak is coarse-grained and uneven, meaning that it is not necessarily smooth to the touch. There are subtle differences between red and white oak graining, but they are noticeable when examining the wood carefully.
The color variations in the red oak species of hardwood range from light white to golden-brown, with hints of pink and red throughout. Red oak hardwood floors can be stained any color, and the stain will take to the floors well. Because this type of hardwood has traces of red and pink, staining it can bring about the natural characteristics and brighten the grain. Red oak hardwood floors will also change color over time, deepening in color and tone.
As a top contender for one of the most well-known flooring choices, red oak hardwood is a sturdy floor that resists dents well. While it is not as hard as white oak, red oak does still an excellent job of handling tough days with kids, pets, and guests alike.

George Soros-Backed Candidate Loses DA Race In Arizona
Well, here’s some good news out of Arizona.
George Soros-backed DA candidate Julie Gunnigle has lost her race. This is great news for anyone who believes in law and order.
Soros-backed DAs have been a consistent problem and have led the country directly to our current crime problem.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Aborted Run: Soros-Backed Candidate Loses Arizona DA Race, Blames ‘Corruption’
Julie Gunnigle (D.), a George Soros-backed prosecutor whose radical pro-abortion stance made waves throughout the campaign, has lost the Maricopa County attorney’s special election to Republican Rachel Mitchell.
Mitchell was winning by 4 points with 94 percent of ballots tabulated when Gunnigle conceded on Monday. The Democrat said the results prove “a continuation of the legacy of corruption within the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.” Mitchell, a veteran prosecutor who has served as acting Maricopa County attorney since March, declared victory in a press release later that day.
“Public safety isn’t partisan,” she said. “All Arizonans demand safe communities in which to live, work, and raise their children.”
Gunnigle took $6,550 from Way to Lead PAC, which received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros’s Democracy PAC. During the campaign, she caught flak following a Washington Free Beacon report that she partnered with abortion clinics that sold fetal organs. Mitchell allies referred to the story in direct text messages to voters, prompting Gunnigle in a September tweet to dismiss the report as “disinformation.”…
Gunnigle also ran for county attorney in 2020, losing to Republican incumbent Allister Adel, who resigned in March. Gunnigle’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
Congratulations to Republican Rachel Mitchell.

How to Make a Trip Wire Alarm From a Clothespin
Trip wire alarms are an excellent first-line of defense against intrusions along a perimeter. The trick is to make one that will be loud enough for you and the intruder to hear. The following design is an excellent example of how you can use ordinary items to create a rudimentary warning system. You can improvise as needed, and it only takes a few minutes to put together.
Siren or buzzer speaker
9V battery clip
Wire cutter and strippers
Preparing the Clothespin
The first step is to take some pieces of the metallic tape and wrap it around each end of the clothespin. Start from just above the spring and continue to the ends. Make sure that you cover all sides of each of the teeth. The metal in the tape will cause a short-circuit which will trigger the alarm later.
The next step is to strip about 1 inch of insulation from the ends of two wires. Bend the metal so they make a loop on each end. You want to tape each wire to each handle section of the clothespin while bending the exposed ends so they rest atop the metallic tape. Make sure that the exposed wires are maintaining contact with the metal. Wrap a couple more strips of the metallic tape around the ends of the wire so they are secured to the clothespin.
Preparing the Speaker and Battery Clip
The next step is to strip the other end of the wires leading from the clothespin and loop them as well. Strip the positive wire coming from the speaker or siren and hook it into one of the loops. Strip the positive end from the battery connector and attach to the loop on the other wire. Then, connect the negative wire from the buzzer or siren to the negative one coming from the battery clip. Secure all of the connections with electrical tape.
Connecting Everything Together
Take some fishing line and loop it around the metal spring in the center of the clothespin. This is to anchor the line so that it will properly trigger the alarm later, and the spring area makes for a good anchor point. Wrap the line around the whole clothespin and make sure there is a good leader extending outward.
The next step is to take a 1×3 inch piece of cardboard or scrap plastic and cut a notch from the top of one of the sides down about halfway into the material. Make the cut about ¼ inch in from one of the edges of the material. Loop another fishing wire through the notch and remaining material and secure with some duct tape. Have a leader extending outward from here as well.
Attach the desired length of fishing line between the two pieces, place it across the area that you are trying to protect and anchor to a stake, tree or other stationary object. Attach the battery and the alarm is ready to go. When someone trips the wire, it will knock out the plastic and trigger the alarm.
The nice thing about this project is that you can place the clothespin and alarm far away from the snare. You can also adjust the length of wire or thickness of the fishing line as well. You can also use material other than metallic tape to create the circuit, such as tacks or nuts and bolts. Feel free to customize and improvise, and you will see how this simple alarm can be tailored to meet your needs.

title: Roughly 11000 homes will sell today will yours be one of them

text:
Are you hesitant to sell your house because you’re worried no one’s buying with rates and prices where they are right now? Here’s some perspective that can help.
The market actually isn’t at a standstill. While there weren’t as many sales last year as there’d be in a normal market, roughly 4.15 million homes still sold (not including new construction), according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). And the expectation is that number will rise in 2025. That means more people will likely move this year, and they need homes to buy. Homes like yours.
But even if we only match last year’s sales pace, here’s what that looks like.
Every Minute Homes Are Selling – Literally
4.15 million homes ÷ 365 days in a year = 11,370 homes sell each day11,370 homes ÷ 24 hours in a day = 474 homes sell per hour474 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sell every minute
Think about that. Just in the time it took you to read this, 8 homes sold.
If you’ve been holding off on selling your house because you think buyers aren’t out there, let this reassure you – there are still buyers looking to buy.
Every day, thousands of people need to buy homes. So, while higher home prices and mortgage rates have slowed the market down and forced some buyers onto the sidelines, that doesn’t mean the market isn’t active. Many buyers are still eager to make a move because life doesn’t wait for perfect market conditions.
With the right agent by your side, you can get your house in front of those buyers while other hesitant homeowners are still putting their plans on pause because they’re worried buyer demand has disappeared. Let’s get your house sold.
On average, 11,000 homes sell every day, and yours could be one of them. In the time it took you to read this, another 8 homes sold.
When you’re ready to take the next step, connect with a trusted local real estate agent so you have an agent to create that perfect strategy.

2017 SOCIAL JUSTICE SCHOLARSHIP
The Campus Faculty Association is proud to announce that we are awarding up to five $1000 scholarships for undergraduate students who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to social justice in the community.
Winners will be chosen on the basis of their commitment to social justice in the community. To be considered, an undergraduate must be currently enrolled as a student in good standing at the UIUC with at least one more semester of study before graduation. Preference will be given to students who will be involved in social justice activity during the period of the award.
Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a short (250 word) essay describing the student’s involvement in social justice work, and the name and contact information for one reference who can speak to the student’s record in this regard. We will begin to accept applications on September 15, 2017, and applications are due by November 1, 2017. Awards will be announced at the beginning of the Spring 2018 semester.
Social justice efforts may take many forms, including volunteer and paid work. Although usually performed through the auspices of a non-profit organization, it may also involve a less formally structured activity. Whatever form it may take, such activity is not simply charity work but an effort that seeks to improve the living and working conditions for less advantaged members of the community in concrete and sustainable ways. Examples include work associated with: labor organization and strike support; patients’ rights; civil rights; housing assistance programs like Habitat for Humanity; food pantries and food delivery programs; incarcerated people’s rights and education; early childhood development programs; shelters for homeless people and battered women; immigrant rights; and so on.
Please submit applications to firstname.lastname@example.org. All application materials should be submitted as a single .pdf file.


title: Cap the quality of bearing caps

text:
The analysis of the pattern using MAGMASOFT® showed that inclusion and blow hole defects were caused by a disadvantageous melt flow. Tracer particles showed turbulence in the runner bar and ingate during the filling process. The large free surface in the runner bar led to oxidation, resulting in slag generation and inclusions. After careful analysis and a small number of simulations in MAGMASOFT®, only a minor modification was needed to improve the melt flow in the mold. A tapered runner bar to avoid the large free surface, an additional well at the end of the runner bar, and the relocation of the connecting ingate between the parts improved the filling process so that the turbulence was eliminated. This minor modification managed to reduce the reject rate from 9% down to 5%.
Not entirely satisfied with this solution, the MAGNA engineer tried to make further improvements in the yield and the productivity of the design by exploiting casting process simulation with MAGMASOFT®. A new pattern with 28 cavities delivered the same casting quality with a better yield of around 64%, a 6% improvement from the original 58%. A second continuous improve-ment with 32 cavities was made by changing the core design. With the additional 4 parts per mold, this modification generated an increase in productivity by 14%.
The MAGMASOFT® implementation at MAGNA Digitech has saved costs for pattern modifications, reduced the reject rate and improved the yield. In addition, the overall productivity was in-creased. Last but not least, MAGNA Digitech discovered that the investment in MAGMASOFT® has been fully recovered in approximately 6 months.


title: Meet empress trash the nomadic journey of a glitchy art visionary

text:
In the vibrant realm of Web3, where digital creativity knows no bounds, there exists an enigmatic artist known as Empress Trash. With a name that defies convention, she's a nomadic force in the art world, captivating audiences with her multi-talented expressions.
Later this week on the 14th I will have 2 pieces on exhibit at @nftshoweurope 🖤
— Ξmpress Trash 🌈🖤 (@EmpressTrash) July 10, 2023
Equilibrium is a new piece which will be part of the @SuperchiefNFT Cyberpunk Vol 5 exhibit. 🖤
Oasis (owned by @__DjjD__ ) will be in a Memento Morí exhibit curated by the lovely @Zaharia_af 🖤… pic.twitter.com/8UslGVkOGh
Empress Trash's creative journey began when she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting, drawing, and animation/design in 2014. This foundational education instilled in her a deep appreciation for the traditional arts, which would later intertwine with her digital explorations. Seeking new horizons, she embarked on a transformative adventure, making her way to the Bay Area, where she would be enveloped in a dynamic arts community.
Why Empress Trash?
In an exclusive interview, she revealed the origin of her artistic name.
"I was living in Oakland," Empresstrash recounted, "and I was running shows out of my house — art shows, music shows, fundraisers, and stuff."
Adjacent to her residence, people frequently dumped their trash, taking advantage of the proximity to the nearby freeway.
She would venture out to pick through the trash, collecting anything that caught her eye. Returning to her creative sanctuary, she would ingeniously transform these castaways into art pieces. As this practice became more integral to her artistic process, she began identifying herself as either "trash empress" or "empress trash".
The two terms would interchangeably define her identity as an artist.
It wasn't until she found herself at the intersection of her artistic journey and the rise of NFTs that she was confronted with the decision to solidify her chosen name. She recalled, "A few months into crypto, someone asked me, 'Well, which is it? Empress Trash or Trash Empress?'" This inquiry propelled her to make a definitive choice, leading to the birth of her artistic persona—Empresstrash, with the name deliberately chosen to emphasize her connection to the discarded and the transformative power of art.
A Worldwide Presence
Since her foray into the world of crypto art, Empress Trash has been exhibited worldwide, captivating art enthusiasts across continents. Her unconventional art style has garnered acclaim, leading to collaborations with renowned galleries and curators who recognize the disruptive brilliance of her work.
Empress Trash's artistic essence extends beyond her individual creations. Through her advocacy and mentorship, she empowers emerging artists to explore the boundless possibilities of glitch aesthetics and trash art, fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration.

Empress Trash stands as a testament to the transformative power of art and technology. Her nomadic journey has taken her from Mexico City to the global stage, captivating audiences with her art. As she continues to push boundaries and redefine artistic norms, Empress Trash reminds us that beauty can be found even in the most unconventional places. With her pioneering spirit, she propels the world of crypto art forward and leaves an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of the 21st century.


title: Armenia appeals to international court of justice to oblige azerbaijan to unblock lachin corridor

text:
YEREVAN — The Republic of Armenia filed in the Registry of the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, a Request for the indication of provisional measures in the case concerning Application of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Armenia v. Azerbaijan), referring to Article 41 of the Statute of the Court and Article 73 of the Rules of Court.
In its Request, Armenia states that “on 12 December 2022, Azerbaijan orchestrated a blockade of the only road connecting the 120,000 ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh with the outside world, thereby preventing anyone and anything from entering or exiting.”
It further claims that “the blockade is ongoing as of the date of its Request, and there are no signs that it will be lifted any time soon”.
Armenia requests the Court to indicate the following provisional measures: “Azerbaijan shall cease its orchestration and support of the alleged ‘protests’ blocking uninterrupted free movement along the Lachin Corridor in both directions. Azerbaijan shall ensure uninterrupted free movement of all persons, vehicles, and cargo along the Lachin Corridor in both directions.”
Pursuant to Article 74 of the Rules of Court, “a request for the indication of provisional measures shall have priority over all other cases”.
Earlier, the European Court of Human Rights partially satisfied the request of the Armenian government of December 14 to apply interim measures against Azerbaijan.
Thus, the ECtHR ruled “to oblige Azerbaijan to take all measures to ensure the movement of seriously ill people in need of medical care in Armenia through the Lachin corridor, as well as the safe movement of people who are homeless on the way or in need of subsistence.’ However, the court ruling indicates that Azerbaijani control of the Lachin corridor is currently disputed.

This ScienceLives article was provided to LiveScience in partnership with the National Science Foundation.
When the climate changes a species' habitat, the species must track the moving habitat, adapt to the new climate or become extinct. Ongoing changes in climate are currently causing habitat loss and distribution shifts that could result in mass extinction. Because of these trends, wildlife species from the short-tailed chinchilla to the American pika are at risk.
A. Michelle Lawing — a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis — uses evolutionary biology methods and models combined with evidence from the fossil record to study the responses of species and communities to environmental change over time. Lawing has determined that geographical shifts in rattlesnake populations over the past 320,000 years were not due to evolutionary change, but rather to the rattlesnake's habitat tracking. Her models also indicate that many species will have to move both farther and faster than they have in the past to avoid extinction.
Lawing is expanding her research to cover vertebrates in North America, using mathematical models with a number of evolutionary variables to predict geographical shifts in species distribution, as well as to identify traits that are more sensitive or resistant to climate fluctuations.

What inspired you to choose this field of study?
Get the world’s most fascinating discoveries delivered straight to your inbox.
As an undergraduate, I was inspired to pursue research in biology when I met evolutionary biologists studying the ecology, morphology (the form and structure of organisms) and systematics(the diversification of organisms and the relationships among them through time) of rattlesnakes. Shortly after, I was fortunate enough to tag along on field expeditions to collect rattlesnakes in the deserts of United States and Mexico. Spending time discussing research with these scientists, I realized being a researcher was the type of career I wanted to develop. After many years of development as a researcher, I came to understand the importance of geological time and highly dimensional systems (morphological shapes and climatic niches, or range of climatic conditions an organism is found in) in evolutionary and ecological processes. Now I study the influence of past climate change on these processes, and I apply mathematical models to study these processes in highly dimensional systems.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received?
Doing research, one often feels rushed to finish the experiments, analyze the results or write the paper. The best advice I received was to take my time. It is important to make sure to check and double check your work and your conclusions.
What was your first scientific experiment as a child?
My first scientific experiment was one of product testing: which soap produced the most suds. Treatments included the amount of lathering time and amount of water.
What is your favorite thing about being a scientist or researcher?
I enjoy the act of discovery. Specifically, I like to identify new patterns and build models that fit patterns to discover what biological processes are involved.
What is the most important characteristic a scientist must demonstrate in order to be an effective scientist?
I think this is highly variable depending on the scientist. For me, it is organization. Being organized allows me to keep pace with the many aspects of being a researcher, including data collection, data analysis, communicating results and conclusions, publishing, collaborations, teaching and giving presentations.
What are the societal benefits of your research?
Understanding how species responded geographically and evolutionarily to climate change in the past will allow us to make informed decisions on how to help them cope with impending climate change.
Who has had the most influence on your thinking as a researcher?
My dissertation advisor, Dr. P. David Polly, had the most influence on my thinking as a researcher. He is a vertebrate paleontologist who studies how the history of the Earth has affected the evolution and ecology of vertebrates. Dr. Polly provided a stimulating and flexible academic environment. He has a particularly keen perception, understanding, and ability to communicate quantitative problems in paleontology, biology and geology.
What about your field or being a scientist do you think would surprise people first?
My field has a strongly computational aspect to it. When people think of paleontology or paleobiology, they think of scientists digging in sand and rocks for fossil discoveries. I make discoveries on my computer with open access data compiled from online resources.
What music do you play most often in your office or car?
I always tune my radio station to National Public Radio (NPR).

SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode, SSL_CTX_get_session_cache_mode - enable/disable session caching
long SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(SSL_CTX ctx, long mode);
long SSL_CTX_get_session_cache_mode(SSL_CTX ctx);
SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode() enables/disables session caching by setting the operational mode for ctx to <mode>.
SSL_CTX_get_session_cache_mode() returns the currently used cache mode.
The OpenSSL library can store/retrieve SSL/TLS sessions for later reuse. The sessions can be held in memory for each ctx, if more than one SSL_CTX object is being maintained, the sessions are unique for each SSL_CTX object.
In order to reuse a session, a client must send the session's id to the server. It can only send exactly one id. The server then either agrees to reuse the session or it starts a full handshake (to create a new session).
A server will look up the session in its internal session storage. If the session is not found in internal storage or lookups for the internal storage have been deactivated (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP), the server will try the external storage if available.
Since a client may try to reuse a session intended for use in a different context, the session id context must be set by the server (see SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context(3)).
The following session cache modes and modifiers are available:
No session caching for client or server takes place.
Client sessions are added to the session cache. As there is no reliable way for the OpenSSL library to know whether a session should be reused or which session to choose (due to the abstract BIO layer the SSL engine does not have details about the connection), the application must select the session to be reused by using the SSL_set_session(3) function. This option is not activated by default.
Server sessions are added to the session cache. When a client proposes a session to be reused, the server looks for the corresponding session in (first) the internal session cache (unless SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP is set), then (second) in the external cache if available. If the session is found, the server will try to reuse the session. This is the default.
Enable both SSL_SESS_CACHE_CLIENT and SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER at the same time.
Normally the session cache is checked for expired sessions every 255 connections using the SSL_CTX_flush_sessions(3) function. Since this may lead to a delay which cannot be controlled, the automatic flushing may be disabled and SSL_CTX_flush_sessions(3) can be called explicitly by the application.
By setting this flag, session-resume operations in an SSL/TLS server will not automatically look up sessions in the internal cache, even if sessions are automatically stored there. If external session caching callbacks are in use, this flag guarantees that all lookups are directed to the external cache. As automatic lookup only applies for SSL/TLS servers, the flag has no effect on clients.
Depending on the presence of SSL_SESS_CACHE_CLIENT and/or SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER, sessions negotiated in an SSL/TLS handshake may be cached for possible reuse. Normally a new session is added to the internal cache as well as any external session caching (callback) that is configured for the SSL_CTX. This flag will prevent sessions being stored in the internal cache (though the application can add them manually using SSL_CTX_add_session(3)). Note: in any SSL/TLS servers where external caching is configured, any successful session lookups in the external cache (i.e. for session-resume requests) would normally be copied into the local cache before processing continues - this flag prevents these additions to the internal cache as well.
Enable both SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP and SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE at the same time.
Updates the timestamp of the session when it is used, increasing the lifespan of the session. The session timeout applies to last use, rather then creation time.
The default mode is SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER.
SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode() returns the previously set cache mode.
SSL_CTX_get_session_cache_mode() returns the currently set cache mode.
ssl(7), SSL_set_session(3), SSL_session_reused(3), SSL_CTX_add_session(3), SSL_CTX_sess_number(3), SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size(3), SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb(3), SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context(3), SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3), SSL_CTX_flush_sessions(3)
