In 1827 on what now is the area south of the dam, the U.S. government constructed a grist mill to grind corn for the Potawatomi Indians under the terms of a 1826 treaty. To obtain water power, a dam was built near its present location. This flooded the area around five lakes and formed Lake Manitou of 775 acres. Near the mill were erected a blacksmith shop, trading post and house for miller and blacksmith. It was the first white settlement of the wilderness that became Fulton County in 1836. Samuel Milroy, builder, named the village Tiptonville in honor of General John Tipton, Indian agent for the region. The dam, mill, and village fell into disuse after the Potawatomi were removed to Kansas in 1838.
Lake Manitou, also known as Manatau or Manitau, derives its name from the Potawatomi word used both for "good spirit" and "evil spirit". The Indians, who fished and hunted in this area for 150 years, believed the lake's waters held a monster fish or serpent of supernatural powers. Early settlers knew the lake as Devil's Lake.
During the early and mid 1900's the lake was home to many resorts and hotels. They attracted thousands of people each year to swim, fish or dance under the stars to some nationally known big bands.

Enrichment of catchment areas for store characterization
In this example we are going to characterize all Starbucks locations in the US by the total population covered by their catchment areas. We are going to define these catchment areas as a 3km buffer around each store.
First, let's start by visualizing all Starbucks locations in the US, extracted from Safegraph's Places dataset sample, freely available through Snowflake's Data Marketplace.
1
SELECT ST_MAKEPOINT(LONGITUDE, LATITUDE) as geom FROM CDA26920_STARBUCKS_CORE_PLACES_SAMPLE.PUBLIC.CORE_POI
Store locations.
To quickly explore this data, using the Analytics Toolbox, we can easily compute an aggregation of these locations using Quadkeys at resolution 15, which lets us visualize the result as a heatmap. Here is a close-up of the Manhattan area, where we can easily identify the areas of highest concentration of Starbucks stores.

WITH qks AS
(SELECT carto.QUADINT_FROMLONGLAT(LONGITUDE, LATITUDE, 15) AS qk
FROM CDA26920_STARBUCKS_CORE_PLACES_SAMPLE.PUBLIC.CORE_POI)
SELECT count(*) as num_stores, carto.QUADINT_BOUNDARY(qk) AS geom FROM qks GROUP BY qk
Store aggregations in quadkeys of resolution 15.
Now, let's enhance our analysis by computing a 3 km buffer around each store, using the geometry constructor module from the Analytics Toolbox:
1

SELECT carto.ST_MAKEELLIPSE(ST_POINT(LONGITUDE,LATITUDE),3,3,0,'kilometers',12) as geom
FROM CDA26920_STARBUCKS_CORE_PLACES_SAMPLE.PUBLIC.CORE_POI
Store locations and 3km buffers.
We can then deepen our analysis by computing the Quadkeys at resolution 15 that intersect with these buffers using the available polyfill function.

FROM CDA26920_STARBUCKS_CORE_PLACES_SAMPLE.PUBLIC.CORE_POI
)
SELECT carto.QUADINT_BOUNDARY(VALUE) AS geom
FROM qks, lateral FLATTEN(input => qk)
Quadkey polyfills of store buffers.
Next, we enrich the resulting Quadkeys with the total population and the population by gender using CARTO's Spatial Features dataset, available for free in the Snowflake Data Marketplace. Since this dataset is already delivered in Quadkeys at resolution 15, enrichment can be performed by a simple JOIN.

FROM geom_data t1
INNER JOIN DATA_MARKETPLACE.CARTO.VIEW_DERIVED_SPATIALFEATURES_USA_QUADGRID15_V1_YEARLY_2020 t2
ON t1.geoid = t2.geoid;
By zooming into a particular area we can see the distribution of the total population (where darker colors represent higher population levels).

Once we have this data ready, we can now calculate the total population that is within a 3km radius from each store location. This catchment analysis can be performed from start to finish with the following query:

ON t1.store_id = t2.SAFEGRAPH_PLACE_ID
The result is a beautiful map visualization, where each Starbucks location is represented by a point and whose catchment is proportional to the total population within a 3km radius:

Looking for a job? Research suggests your fitness matters

It is common knowledge that a person's health can directly impact their concentration and dedication to work, but a new study also reveals how it can affect your place in the job market. The Center for Creative Leadership Study stresses the value of fitness in the life of someone in a leadership position, CEO's in particular. The study concludes that a CEO who is in shape makes a strong leader and has more energy to carry out the job effectively.
From 2006 to 2010 researchers collected data from 757 executives about weight perceptions based on peer reviews and health screenings. Barry Posner, a professor who teaches leadership classes at Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business, admits "We have stereotypes about fat…so when we see a senior executive who's overweight, our initial reaction isn't positive." The research revealed that due to society's perception of weight, obesity insinuates a lack of judgment, stamina, and self-control. Posner further admits that all of the Fortune 500 CEO's that he knows are all of a normal weight, while some may argue that they can afford to be.
Some feel that these judgments are based on changing times. They claim that at one point climbing the corporate ladder was about sacrificing time, even if that means no sleep, poor eating habits and lots of stress, which all can contribute to weight gain. But now many CEO's have image consultants who stress the importance of appearance. They emphasize that being in the public's eye means being ready for public speaking, the camera, and demonstrating an ideal lifestyle. Being successful means having the time to make money as well as the resources to have a life. These resources for some include having a personal trainer and top level meals. For those looking for that big promotion or that dream job, getting into shape might just get you the impression that you need to land the job.

Bech32 sending support
Week 12 of 24 in a series about allowing the people you pay to access all of segwit's benefits.
This segment marks half-way through our series about bech32, so we decided to have some fun this week by describing some bech32-related trivia that's interesting but not important enough for its own segment.
 - How is bech32 pronounced? Pieter Wuille, co-author of the proposal, uses a soft "ch" so that the word sounds like "besh thirty two". The name is a portmanteau that mixes the letters of the address's error correction coding (BCH) into the name of its numeric base (base32). Pronouncing it with a soft "ch" allows the first syllable of bech32 to be similar to Bitcoin's legacy address format, base58. We admit this extended explanation ruins the joke, but it's a clever and amusing bit of wordplay.
 - BCH has nothing to do with Bitcoin Cash's ticker code: the name of the BCH codes bech32 is based upon are an abbreviation for Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem, with Hocquenghem inventing this type of cyclic codes in 1959 followed by Bose and Ray-Chaudhuri independently rediscovering them in 1960. Moreover, the bech32 address format was announced in March 2017, three months before the first plans for what would later be labeled Bitcoin Cash (which initially planned to use the ticker code BCC).
 - Over ten CPU years consumed: using existing information about BCH codes, the authors of bech32 were able to find the set of codes that provided the minimum amount of error detection they desired for Bitcoin addresses. However, there were almost 160 thousand eligible codes in this set, and the authors expected some of them to be better than others. To find the best code among them, over 200 CPU cores and "more than 10 years of computation time" was used.
Notable code and documentation changes
 - Bitcoin Core #15741 speeds up importing keys, addresses, and other information into the wallet using the importmulti RPC by batching the database updates rather than making them sequentially. In a test performed by the PR author, this reduced the time to import 10,000 addresses from 465 seconds to 4 seconds.
 - LND #2985 waits to relay gossip announcements until there are there are at least ten of them to send and five seconds have elapsed since the previous batch, reducing bandwidth overhead. This continues the work done by LND and other implementations towards reducing the overhead of the gossip protocol given the significant growth in the size of the LN network over the past year.
 - LND #2761 switches to using a persistent state machine for routed payments and to storing some additional state data for the machine, improving the program's ability to correctly handle HTLCs that were unresolved when the daemon was restarted.


Traditional Chinese Gardens Welcome to China
Baotu Spring, Jinan
The Baotu Spring is found south of Ximen Bridge, Jinan. It had bee known variously as "Baoliu" and "Lanquan" before it assumed its present name during the Song Dynasty. The Baotu Spring is at the top of a list 0 famous springs in Jinan, known as the "City of Springs".
During its heyday, water was seen foamed and gushing out of a subterranean limestone cave, looking like a pot of boiling water. The pool of the spring assumes the shape of a square, anal the water is of pure and sweet quality. Around the pool sit such famed buildings as the Luoyuan Hall, Banbi Corridor, Waterside Chamber, and Guanlan Pavilion.

With Alicja Rogalska, Platforma Výkvět, Saša Uhlová, Katalin Erdődi
As part of the upcoming Biennale Matter of Art 2024 and in cooperation with the Hraničář Gallery in Ústí nad Labem, tranzit.cz invites you to an encounter with Berlin-based Polish visual artist Alicja Rogalska, journalist Saša Uhlová, and Platforma Výkvět, a self-organized network of ecological flower farmers from the Czech Republic and Slovakia with whom Rogalska is collaborating for her new work for the biennale. The event will be partly in Czech and partly in English and is for free.
The event will focus on the working conditions and need for ecological change in agriculture. In the first part of the evening, we will talk about how seasonal agricultural work on industrial farms across Western Europe is done primarily by migrants—among them many Eastern Europeans—and discuss what possibilities of self-organization these precarious workers have, based on examples of Alicja Rogalska's socially engaged artistic practice and Saša Uhlová's approach to undercover journalism in her collaboration with the documentary filmmaker Apolena Rychlíková. How can the work of artists, journalists, and filmmakers intervene in these workers' struggles in a generative way?
Alicja Rogalska will introduce and screen her video work The Royals (2018–2019), created in collaboration with migrant potato farm workers on the Island of Jersey (British Islands). The video documents a series of conversations about establishing a prize for the best employer in the agricultural sector and about starting a trade union. During each session, the workers made clay potatoes, relying on tactile memory. One of the potatoes was cast in bronze as the prize—yet to be awarded.
Saša Uhlová will show excerpts from her collaboration with Apolena Rychlíková on their new film Limits of Europe. The film asks: "Why are we still witnessing such glaring economic inequality between the 'West' and the 'East,' and why are so many people forced to leave their families to look for work far from their homes?" In a conversation with Alicja Rogalska and Katalin Erdődi (co-curator of Matter of Art 2024), Uhlová will share her experiences from working undercover alongside seasonal workers from Poland at a large farm in Germany.
The second part of the evening is dedicated to Platforma Výkvět, who will introduce their work as ecological flower farmers and share how to make a winter bouquet of dried flowers through a "florist show", while talking about agroecological change and farmers' self-organization. Why is it important to think critically about the globalized industry of flower farming (which perpetuates exploitative labor conditions in the Global South) and buy cut flowers that are locally grown? What does it mean to be an ecological flower farmer and how does Výkvět function? How do Výkvět members think about seasonality and about flowers as part of our everyday lives? What more ecological and emancipatory futures would they like to see blossoming?
The Výkvět members' presentation will be followed by an open conversation involving all of the guests and the audience.
In collaboration with Hraničář Gallery.
This event is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU and The City of Prague.
Free entry. Discussions will be held in english, film screening is in english with czech subtitles, performance will be in czech.

The United Reformed Church has undertaken a wide-ranging review of its safeguarding work since the Church was founded in 1972. This review took more than two years. It included careful scrutiny of records and an invitation for people to contact the Church and report concerns. A major and independently-authored report then followed, with key points of learning and recommendations about what the Church can do to continue and improve its culture of safeguarding.
One important step that the Church now takes is to offer a public and heartfelt apology to survivors of abuse, along with their families, supporters and communities, and to acknowledge that there have been institutional failures.

I have a set of PowerShell scripts that include a "common" script, located in the same folder, like this:
# some-script.ps1
$scriptDir = Split-Path -Parent $myinvocation.mycommand.path
. "$scriptDir\script-utils.ps1"
This is fine if the script is called directly, e.g.
However, if the script is called with Invoke-Command, this does not work:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 -FilePath "X:\some-script.ps1"
In this case, infact, $myinvocation.mycommand contains the contents of the script, and $myinvocation.mycommand.path is null.
How can I determine the script's directory in a way that works also when the script is invoked with Invoke-Command?
In the end, this is the solution I actually used:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 '
 {param($scriptArg); & X:\some-script.ps1 $scriptArg } '
 -ArgumentList $something
This also allows passing parameters to the script.

I don't believe you can, from within the invoked script. From get-help invoke-command:
-FilePath Runs the specified local script on one or more remote computers. Enter the path and file name of the script, or pipe a script path to Invoke-Command. The script must reside on the local computer or in a directory that the local computer can access. Use the ArgumentList parameter to specify the values of parameters in the script.
 **When you use this parameter, Windows PowerShell converts the contents of the specified script file to a script
 block, transmits the script block to the remote computer, and runs it on the remote computer.**
When you use invoke-command using the -filepath parameter, the script is read from the file on the local computer, converted to a script block, and that's what gets passed to the remote computer. The remote computer doesn't have any way of knowing if that script block was read from a file.
For the remote computer to know what that original file path was, you'll have to tell it. I think the easiest way to do that would be to write a function to do the invocation, and have it pass the filename to the invoked script as a parameter.

alternatively rather than using filepath.. you could pass in a scriptblock, that dotsources the script from a UNC path that all machines have access to. However each machine will need to have the appropriate executionpolicy set so that they can run that script from the UNC path
let me be clear though, that i'm not saying to run the script from the UNC path as if that does the remoting, but still using invoke-command or start-job to run a scriptblock on a remote computer. It just happens that that scriptblock will run the script from a UNC path for convenience.

Western History & Genealogy Blog
GI - General Index
Known by staff and researchers as the GI, it is an index of about 6.5 million entries on 1 million cards to previously un-indexed local and county histories, biographical works, some manuscript material, and western journals and serials. It makes accessible the otherwise inaccessible. Researchers in the know often go slack-jawed or misty-eyed when they realize what they've discovered.
In 1935, the newly created Western History Department acquired an index of local subjects begun by the Reference Department. With this base, new subject headings were added to broaden the scope beyond Denver and the established headings were refined. Then, in the midst of the Depression, the Western History Department benefitted from a federal stimulus: a Colorado Works Progress Administration (WPA) grant to index in detail the Rocky Mountain News, _PHONE_. The result? An every-name index for the premier Colorado newspaper of the day for a more than twenty-year span.
In the years that followed, the Department's staff continued to index contemporary newspapers, journals, and some standards of Colorado history, while also adding retrospective sources such as the Denver Times, _PHONE_. The General Index closed to additional entries in 1995.
Still housed in its original wooden card catalog cabinets and situated across from our reference desk, the GI is available to all visitors to the Department. The entire General Index has been digitized, and librarians are able to search a department-only database at the reference desk. We hope to make the General Index available online to the world in the near future.
An Ode to the General Index
Among the treasures of the Denver Public Library, few rival the massive General Index in the Western History Department. This product of more than a half-century's work, if recreated at current costs, would be worth $2 million or more. An index of an estimated four million entries to articles, books, newspapers, and other material, it is an outstanding contribution to scholarship - a college in itself. Without it scholars would be impaired and devotees of well-researched local history would be impoverished. Without it the Denver Public Library would be a far less splendid institution that it is. All hail to the generations of librarians and Denver taxpayers who have supported, built, and maintained such a superb research tool.

Hey guys! Im new to the forums and just started a programming course in college and im having some difficulties. The exercise is as followed:
The binary logarithm of n (log2n) is the power to which the number 2 to must be raised to obtain the value n. Write a C function that calculates log2 of an unsigned integer n using the following approach: find the most significant set bit in n and return the position of this bit. For example, if n is 17 (0b10001), the function should return 4.
The C function should have the following signature:
int mylog2(unsigned int n)
I'm not sure what to do and what "find the most significant set bit in n and return the position of this bit" means. And also how to I can do this, I certainly dont want u guys to do this for me, but some info on how to do it would be appreciated.
I have asked my teacher for help, but he just said read the goddamn books, but I have and still dont know the steps to solve this. Thanks

This is The Rock
The mission of the Rock Ethics Institute is to promote ethical literacy and catalyze ethical leadership throughout the Penn State community and to foster interdisciplinary ethics research designed to address significant social issues and pressing world problems.
Our aspiration is that students, faculty, and community members—Meet the challenge. Stand up. Make a difference.
We are an Institute "without walls:"
- We serve the entire Pennsylvania State University and collaborate with all Colleges and academic units to integrate ethics throughout the Penn State curriculum and to provide resources that support ethically responsible research in all disciplines;
- The Institute supports and promotes a deeply interdisciplinary approach to ethics research. Our goal is to embed ethical analyses into interdisciplinary research topics paying special attention to achieving this aim through embedded ethics research in science and engineering;
- Underscoring the importance of exchanges between the University and broader communities, we work to raise awareness of the ethical dimensions of pressing social problems within the larger public, as well as supporting policy-makers and other stakeholders by providing resources for ethically informed responses to pressing world problems.
Guiding the work of the Rock Ethics Institute is our commitment to ethical literacy, which we define as:
- the ability to identify ethical problems and to recognize the complex issues that they raise; and
- the ability to evaluate ethical problems from multiple perspectives and to assess disagreements about, and proposed responses to, these problems.
The Rock Ethics Institute aims to help people better understand the different cultural contexts of ethical problems, disagreements, and solutions. We believe that in today's world, ethical literacy is essential to being active, informed citizens, and to living vibrant professional and personal lives.
Through education, research, and outreach, we catalyze ethically informed scholarship, promote ethical literacy, and encourage ethical decision-making at Penn State and beyond.
- Education: We encourage the ongoing development of curricular units and innovative courses on theoretical and practical issues in ethics for use by Penn State faculty and the broader community. Our events and workshops support ethically informed research across the disciplines and aim to ensure that every student inherits a legacy of ethical integrity and ethical leadership as part of their Penn State education.
- Research: By embedding ethics into multiple research domains we positively impact scholarship and provide ethically informed decision support resources to help solve complex social problems. Further, by introducing ethical literacy into research and policy, we strive to foreground ethics in professional and public dialogue.
- Outreach: We support local, national, and international projects that promote general ethical awareness by working with community and public leaders through a variety of outreach activities. We also highlight examples of individuals who have demonstrated courage, fortitude, and ethical leadership, and provide educational resources to increase ethical literacy, both locally and globally.

Yes Crimson x Eastern Rosella hybrids are not so uncommon (certainly in
Canberra). Though it is odd to happen that much, when both species are
common. Hybrids would appear more likely when one species is rare. These are
interspecific hybrids which are of course (normally) much less common that
hybrids between members of the same species, such as Crimson and Yellow
Rosella at the region where the two forms meet. The questions are about how
frequent these events are and whether the hybrids are able to attract a mate
and are fertile and form an intergradation zone. Typically in the case of
Crimson and Yellow Rosella they do as they are the same species so it is
debatable as to whether they should be called hybrids any more than
interracial people pairings. Crimson x Eastern Rosella are not the same
species. But the whole thing highlights that the context of species
boundaries and definitions is not always clear.

I don't know whether the Canberra suburbs qualify as 'the wild' but a male
crimson x eastern rosella has been around our patch for at least the last
ten years (same individual). It's intermediate in size between the two and

a female eastern, but I have never seen them with young.

text: We aimed to estimate the impact of ingestion of a pure protein load on the glucose levels in T1DM patients treated with insulin pumps. We examined 10 T1DM patients (6 females, mean age-32.3 years, mean HbA1c-6.8%) treated with insulin pumps equipped with a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). In Phase I, baseline insulin infusion was optimized to minimize the differences in fasting glucose levels to less than 30 mg/dL between any two time points between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. In Phase II, the patients were exposed to single pure protein load. CGMS record was performed and the glucose pattern was defined for 6 hours of each phase. The maximal glucose level increment was similar for the entire duration of the fasting and the protein load test (26.6 versus 27.6 mg/dL, resp., P < 0.78). There was only a borderline difference in change between baseline versus 6th hour glucose (12.5 and 19.0 mg/dL, P = 0.04). Glucose variability, assessed by standard deviation of mean glucose levels, was 36.4 and 37.9 mg/dL, respectively (P = 0.01). The administration of a pure protein load does not seem to have a clinically significant impact on glucose levels in T1DM patients treated with insulin pumps.

Programming Servo: The Debug Way
Debug Servo and Rust in a modern way
Servo is a huge project. I have counted the lines of code for you. There are almost a hundred thousand lines of code in the Servo project. To develop such a big project, knowing how to debug in a right way is very important, since you would like to find the bottleneck in a fast and efficient way.
In this article, I will teach you some tips to use GDB developing and debugging your Rust code in the Servo project.
So, How to Debug?
I assume you are not familiar with software developing, but you have some skills to write codes.
So when you want to know somethings in the box, you might add some lines, such as:
This is a simple method. Straightforward enough! It does help you to figure out what's going on about the code.
However, it requires compiling each time when you want to know another variable's value in the program. Besides, when your program crashes or causes memory leak, it is hard to trace the underlying problem.
The simple way is not helpful enough, which means you need a more powerful tool. It could be GDB in Linux, or LLDB in macOS. (On Windows platform, VS debugger is also a very strong tool, but not in discussion in this article.)
I will talk about how to use GDB then. LLDB is very similar to GDB. Basically, their commands are almost the same, so I would just introduce how to use GDB to debug the Rust and the Servo.
Introduction to GDB
"GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on 'inside' another program while it executes — or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed." — -from gnu.org
In other words, GDB allows you to control the program running and to get more information from the inside of the code.
For example, you can stop the program at a certain line in a file, which is called a "breakpoint". When the program stops at the breakpoint, you can print them to see the values of the variables in the breakpoint scope.
You can also back trace the code from the breakpoint. Backtrace means to print all functions called before the breakpoint. Sometimes a crash in the program is not because of the code where it crashed at. It might happens earlier, and passes an invalid parameter to cause a crash.
There are some other usage, and I will mention them in the following paragraph.
GDB the Rust
First of all, I would create a simple Hello World to demonstrate how to use GDB in a Rust project. You might have installed Rust and Cargo, Haven't you?
Please follow the steps in "the Rust book" to create a Hello World. Make sure you can compile, run the code, and understand what Cargo are doing.
To create a project:
Then, let's start!
In order to show how to use GDB, I have designed a sample code. Please copy the following code to your ./src/main.rs:
To build this code, simply run cargo build.
There would be an executable file ./target/debug/hello_cargo. The build is set as debug mode by default, and we can use the debug build to run with GDB. However, if it is a release build, you cannot run with GDB, since the debug information is lost.
To run the program with GDB:
That's it. You would see the interface in GDB like this:
Now you can enter some commands in GDB!
GDB commands
There are many commands in GDB, but I would only introduce the most important part for you. For my personal case, I usually only use these commands as well.
break
As I mentioned before, a breakpoint allows you to stop the program at a certain position. There are two way to set the breakpoints.
Use break or b as the command to set a breakpoint.
In the first case, you can break at a function. (You would need to enter the whole path, like mod::mod::function in a big project)
Or, you can add the file path with a line number to define where to stop.
let's see whether we have set successfully.
But I just want one breakpoint, so I could delete the first one by del command.
run
Now there is just one breakpoint. Let's run the program and see what happens!
Use run to start.
As you can see, the program has stopped at the position that we want. Then, we could do something at this breakpoint!
backtrace
If you are wondering what the upstream functions has been called before runnning to this breakpoint, you can use command backtrace or bt.
_URL_
Now GDB tells you that it is main.rs line 3 (#1), which is let msg = make_hello_string(&name);, called main.rs line 9 (#0), which is belong to make_hello_string.
You might say, that's really obvious, doesn't it?
Yep! However, what if you are debugging a big open source project, such as the Servo project, and need to figure out the backtrace for a module? General speaking, there are about thirty to forty function calls before the breakpoint in a module. To find the backtrace by reading the code is super hard, but now we can use GDB to do it.
frame
A frame is one of the program states in the backtrace. We can switch to a frame we want, and to check some information in that frame.
You can use frame or f to use this command.
After the previous step, we have already set a breakpoint at src/main.rs:9, and there are two frames in the backtrace, which are #0 and #1.
Now I want to check frame #1, and see what is the value of name, which is at src/main.rs:2, in the scope of frame #1.
So, frame let you enter the scope in frame #1, and then you can use print to print the value of a variable, or you can use call to call a function at that scope.
How about switch to frame #0, and see what value is hello_str?
continue
After checking some information we want know, we might want the program to continue. Use continue or c to continue running the code. The program will keep running until it meets another breakpoints or finish the execution.
Since there is just one breakpoint in this example, the program will run to the end.
Something else
Once you stop at a breakpoint, you could use step command to run code line by line.
Once you stop at a breakpoint, you could use up and down to switch frames instead of using frame <number> directly.
If the program is running(you have commanded run already), and you can enter Ctrl+C to interrupt GDB, then the program will break right now. The process will paused at where it just run to. And the point where it stopped by the interrupt is a manual breakpoint for just once. You can add some other commands here, and once you have done, you can enter c to continue the process.
Then, you can call some commands, such as break, call, step, etc.
There are more commands powered by GDB. You can check the document for more information.
Debug Servo
Almost there. Let's go to debug the Servo project. I assume you are able to compile Servo.
To build in debug mode:
Once the build is done, and we want to debug Servo:
You can debug Servo now!
Conclusion
The concept in this article can be applied on not only Rust projects but also C++ projects. If you want to debug Firefox or Chromium, you can use the same way to debug them. I will not discuss some detail such as how to apply a complicated setting for GDB, so you might need to search for other advanced articles to learn more skills.
GDB is not a must for developers, but it indeed powers hackers. There are some contributors of Servo who are front-end developers. One of them is my best friend, and he has already contributed many commits for Servo. As a front-end developer, he never use GDB before. However, he gets some troubles while developing Servo recently, I think if he knows how to use GDB, it would be easier to figure out the reasons why there are some weird behaviors by the program.
I'm writing this article for him and all the developers who just become one of the Servo community. I hope this article is helpful for all of you. Have a nice hacking day! :)

Aligning an LG Mode Sorter
The so-called "mode sorter" is a great optical device that allows for easy separation of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes [Berkhout2010]. Combined LG modes, which contain Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) are input to the one end of the mode sorter and on the other end they are output as "spots" which can be detected with a camera, fibre array, etc. This naturally has many uses in optical communications and physics in general.
I have been working with one of these devices and since the alignment is very tricky, I felt that it would be useful to document it here for my own reference and hopefully that of others!
 1. The first thing to make absolutely sure of is the incoming beams' level. This beam must be perfectly parallel to the axis of the mode sorter, otherwise getting the alignment right after the installation of the mode sorter is close to impossible. I find it useful to mount the mode sorter in a pair of lens mounts. Before installing the sorter, use one of the mounts at the desired height to ensure the beam is level.
 2. It's a good idea to place 2 separate mirrors before the mode sorter for dedicated alignment.
 3. Place the mode sorter in the path of the beam. Try to line it up with the center of the beam and make sure it isn't tilted.
 4. Using a card, check the shape of the beam at the output of the sorter. The beam needs to be "walked" into alignment. The beam should be a horizontal line that has no bumps, twists, etc. It will continue to be a line as you move the card away from the sorter to any distance. The beam will not be perfect when you first install the sorter...
 5. We label first mirror the beam hits on it's way from the source to the sorter is M1, and the second mirror is M2. (Do this in your mind...)
 6. Adjust M1 to make a flat line with the card ~2 cm from the end of the sorter. Now check the beam ~30 cm or more from the sorter. Adjust M2 to make it flat. Repeat this process until the beam is always flat (horizontal).
An aligned mode sorter showing the beam close to the end of the sorter (left), far from the sorter (middle) and an unaligned sorter (right).
There is a pattern to errors in mode sorter alignment. If the beam looks like the right hand image, above, then the vertical alignment is off. Let's call this a "W" shape. In this case, since the card is far from the sorter, M2 must be adjusted. Any "peaks" in the line are due to vertical errors in my experience. If the line looks like an "S" on it's side then there is horizontal error that will probably result in a W when it's fixed. If there are 2 separate blobs of light, you are way off and should probably start from scratch.
When you are finally happy with the beam, you can install a long focal length lens and a camera at the focal point so that you can decompose your beams! At least 500 mm is typically required. The paper referenced above has more detailed calculations as to the focal length of this lens. It is not necessary to place the lens directly after the mode sorter. Anywhere along the horizontal beam is ok - but normally space is at a premium and so mounting is a few cm away is the norm.
This entire process will probably take you an hour or more the first time :) Good luck!

Análisis del agronegocio de la cadena productiva de lácteos en Montería (Córdoba)
Doria Pestana, Joiver David | 2022-07-26
The dairy production chain is a complex system made up of different links, where the basic product is milk production. The objective of this work was the analysis of the agribusiness of the dairy production chain in Montería. The study was carried out in a participatory manner, with the different links of the productive chain, 80 farms located in 10 districts of the municipality of Montería, five collection centers and five processing companies were surveyed; questions were asked about the characteristics of the production units, production volumes and manufactured products, as well as the measurement of innovation through the Agricultural Innovation Survey (ENIAGRO); Similarly, 50 consumers were surveyed to find out product preferences; and finally the physicochemical, compositional and hygienic quality of the milk produced in the production units of the municipality of Montería was evaluated. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics; obtaining that the dairy production chain in Montería is made up mostly of small and medium producers, with a traditional subsistence activity and a medium level of schooling; they have insufficient infrastructure and tools to carry out their activities, one cause of this situation being the lack of investment on their own initiative or by the state, they have low productivity and little degree of associativity. In most of the milk samples evaluated, it was evidenced that the percentages of fat, protein, non-fat solids and total solids are higher than the minimum established by Decree 616 of 2006.

OF UNDERWATER WELDING
Until sophisticated robots can perform intricate tasks with humans' dexterity, underwater divers will continue to be a necessity for businesses around the world.
It's a physically and mentally challenging job, but what causes stress is offset by pride in receiving the technology the world relies on today.
CONCLUSION
While it's not one of the best careers in terms of working conditions and requirements, it is a great job for those looking to earn a high salary in a short period of time.

FAQS (Frequently Asked Questions)
What do underwater welders make?
Commercial divers and underwater welders have a mean hourly wage of $26, While the average annual wage is approximately $54,000.
How do underwater welders die?
Suffering electric shock while underwater can be fatal when a diver is trapped in a bottleneck due to a large water pressure differential. The water of great force fills another space with great force, sometimes equal to over a thousand pounds of pressure.
How Dangerous is underwater welding?
One of the dangers of underwater welding is the risk of electric shock to the welder.
To avoid this, the welder must be suitable for a marine environment, properly insulated and the welding current must be controlled.
To avoid this, the welding equipment must be suitable for a marine environment, properly insulated and the welding current must be controlled.
What is the life expectancy of an underwater welder?
We estimate the life span of underwater welders to be 10-15 years. We understand that the low life expectancy of underwater welders affects their service life. The death rate in underwater welding is around 15%, significantly higher than in other professions.

ReZeitKon (German acronym for Time Rebound, Time Wealth and Sustainable Consumption) is an interand transdisciplinary research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
ReZeitKon is a joint project between TU Berlin (Division of Economic Education and Sustainable Consumption), Leuphana University Lüneburg (Institute for Environmental Communication) and the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe.
The project is accompanied by an advisory board including prominent representatives of relevant civil society institutions who have a longstanding expertise regarding the relationship between time and resource use with regard to work, education and consumption.
The concept of time wealth is explored in a variety of academic disciplines since the 1990s. Also in society, we can observe an increasing awareness towards the importance of time and time use for quality of life.
The way people deal with time has manifold consequences for society and environment. Time wealth and sufficiency are closely interrelated and can reinforce each other, whereas a lack of time might induce negative environmental implications, for example compensatory consumption.
So far, the literature defines time-rebound effects as additional use of natural resources due to free time, which result from the application of efficient technology and practices or the reduction of working hours. In parallel to such additional environmental effects, a more intensive use of time often also increases subjective perceptions of time pressure.
The objective of the ReZeitKon project is to empirically analyse the importance of time-rebound effects for sustainable consumption. In addition, we develop and evaluate measures that increase time wealth and at the same time reduce time-rebound effects.

Scientists at IIT Roorkee are testing a floating device that can generate electricity from flowing surface water of rivers and streams, paving the way for an alternative source of renewable energy.
Traditional hydropower plants require the construction of large-scale dams, which have significant ecological and environmental consequences. To counter this, a team at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee is testing a prototype that harnesses energy from flowing surface water.
Alternative source of renewable energy
"In traditional dams, water falling from a height is used to turn turbines," said RP Saini, principle investigator of the project.
"We are instead using the velocity of the flowing river to turn a turbine and generate power. Flowing water can generate a hundred times more power than wind of same velocity," added Saini.
Hydro-kinetic technology has significant advantages over other types of renewable energy.
The researchers said that while there are many types of turbines currently under development, installing them in a flowing river is a tedious task.
"That is where more research is needed. Keeping that in view we have taken up this project to develop a prototype so that the installation can be standardised in the flowing canals and rivers," Saini said.
The prototype, developed in collaboration with Delhi-based Macules Technical Project laboratory, has been installed in the Upper Ganga Canal in Roorkee, Uttarakhand for testing.

Unsafe Application State Restoration (iOS)
Unsafe Application State Restoration (iOS)
What Does Unsafe Application State Restoration Actually Mean?
Despite the fancy title, it essentially means that a mobile application saves the state of a view location that is only presented to an authenticated user, or that contains sensitive data. Within the event of the application being unexpectedly terminated, the state is restored and loaded back into the UI without first validating or re-authenticating the current user.
Conceptually this happens all the time within mobile applications. A developer focused on making things easy and enjoyable for the user, will implement this type of functionality, so if by chance the application closes, the user will be brought back into the same state they left off at.
This functionality makes sense, and is a nice addition to many of the applications we use day in and day out, but what if this existed in your mobile banking application, or on a shared device in a hospital for an application that stored and operated on PHI? If an attacker has direct access to an unlocked device with these applications, he can potentially re-open them after they have been closed, and be presented with very critical data.
So hopefully we can start understanding what this vulnerability actually means and its potential impact.
Preservation and Restoration
For this specific scenario we will explore the technical details surrounding the vulnerability paired with Apple's UIKit Framework. The UIKit Framework has a state restoration system that allows for the preservation and restoration for the application's view controller objects. UIKit allows the developer to choose which view controllers and views he wants to ultimately preserve and restore. To do this, a restoration identifier marks a restorable object, which is a string that identifies the view or the view controller to UIKit and the application.
During preservation the application will:
 - Tell UIKit it supports state preservation
 - Tell UIKit which view controllers to preserve
 - Encode all data for the targeted objects
Preservation
During restoration the application will:
 - Tell UIKit it supports state restoration
 - Provide the restorable objects
 - Decode the state for all relevant objects and return
Restoration
Class Dump Inspection
Methods
To figure out whether or not the application supports preservation and restoration, we can take a look at the output from class-dump-z.
We can see within the Application's Delegate the method 'application:willEncodeRestorableStateWithCoder:' – this is used to encode the state information for the targeted object. You can also see the corresponding method for decoding – 'application didDecodeRestorableStateWithCoder:' – which is called when the application finishes its restoration of the decoded objects.
Unsafe Application State Restoration, So What Is The Risk?
The problem is rooted purely in context, meaning it is all based off what the application's overall business impact will be (i.e. Healthcare). The biggest recommendation I have so far is there really isn't a good reason to mark view objects for preservation that exist in a post-authenticated world. Even if it is solely meant to provide a better user experience, it still is inherently dangerous.
If by chance a developer still chooses to implement this risky functionality, the user still needs to be forced to identify themselves and authenticate back into the application. It would make the most sense that this process begins before initializing and decoding object state.

Using camera USB3.0 to check the value of Fuse by color
In wireharness , Fuse is very important, it can affect the safety of the users .
If the value of Fuse is wrong connected, it can be very dangerous in case of electric shock.
So, checking the value of Fuse at each location is very necessary and important.
If the workers check by their eyes, this error can be passed easily.
If we use camera to check this kind of error, absolutely 100% of errors can be found.

C-TRAN has used Bus on Shoulder lanes since they were first implemented in Clark County in 2017. The concept allows transit vehicles to use the shoulder of a given corridor to bypass traffic during times of heavy congestion. It creates faster travel times for buses and more reliable transit service for our region's commuters.
There are limitations:
- For a bus to use the shoulder, the overall speed of traffic must be less than 35 mph.
- While using the shoulder, buses are only allowed to go up to 15 mph faster than other traffic, to a maximum speed of 35 mph.
- Priority for shoulder use is always given to emergency vehicles, stalls or breakdowns.
Bus-only shoulder lanes are currently in use on three freeway corridors in the region: State Route 14, Interstate 5 and Interstate 205.
State Route 14
Location: SR 14 between SE 164th Avenue and Interstate 205, Vancouver
Direction: Eastbound and westbound
Primary C-TRAN routes on corridor: 41, 65, 67, 164
Location: I-5 between 99th Street and the Interstate Bridge, Vancouver
Primary C-TRAN routes on corridor: 105, 134, 157, 199
Location: I-205 across the Glenn Jackson Bridge, Vancouver/Portland
Direction: Northbound and southbound
Primary C-TRAN routes on corridor: 65, 67, 164, 177


How Much Water Does a Dishwasher Use: All You Need to Know
When deciding on what kind of dishwasher to buy or whether you should get one at all, you might have some questions. You might wonder: How much water does a dishwasher use? How energy efficient is a dishwasher?
Or which is better for the environment: washing dishes by hand or using the dishwasher?
Sometimes these questions and others like them can seem overwhelming. Luckily, this question has a pretty straightforward answer, relative to many other questions about climate change and conservation.
A Short History of Dishwashers
Humans have been washing dishes since there were dishes to wash. In fact, prior to the 1800s, washing dishes was one of the least labor-intensive chores to be done. Most people valued the ease of leaning against a sink and washing up after a long day harvesting or planting.
The dishwasher wasn't invented for ease or convenience. It was invented by Josephine Cochrane, the granddaughter of John Finch, who invented the steam engine because her servants kept breaking her china. She later started the company that grew into KitchenAid.
Obviously, the dishwashers we have today are much more sophisticated. As technology has advanced, we've seen dishwashers increase their efficiency, add helpful features, and use less water.
How Much Water Does a Dishwasher Use?

 - 24" Built-in, top-mount
 - 6 wash Programs: Heavy, Normal, Delicate, Quick, Rinse only, Energy Saver
 - Top Cutlery Rack: Flat placement of fine utensils that might fall through the normal silverware basket
So how much water does a dishwasher use?
Well, it depends on the dishwasher you have. If you're lucky enough to own your home, you can choose the brand and model of dishwasher you buy.
For those living in an apartment, you have no say in what dishwasher you're provided. However, we can estimate the usage and definitely decrease our water bills using some easy tips.
Dishwasher vs. handwashing
It might surprise most people to hear this, but using a dishwasher is actually significantly more water-efficient than washing dishes by hand.
The water in the faucet flows at an average rate of two gallons per minute. This means that the average hand-washing household uses 13 gallons of water to wash the same number of dishes that fit into a dishwasher.
Average dishwasher
If you live in an apartment, you probably have an older model of dishwasher, or a cheaper model. This means that you're probably using roughly 10 gallons of water with each cycle.
However, you're still beating out handwashing. Because the average faucet flows at a rate of two gallons per minute, handwashing for only five minutes uses the same amount of water as running the entire dishwasher.
Want to decrease your water usage? Stop rinsing the dishes before you put them in the machine. Instead, scrape food off with a spatula and let your dishwasher do the work.
Energy Star dishwashers
hOmeLabs Compact Countertop Dishwasher - Energy Star Portable Mini...
 - A convenient and small Energy Star certified dish washing machine for cleaning the dishes after dinner or cooking....
 - With simple to use control panel and light indicators. Program selector has 6 wash cycle options: heavy, normal,...
 - Features a quick connect assembly with accessories including inlet and drain hose and a faucet adapter for water...
Newer dishwashers are much more efficient and use significantly less water than their older counterparts. In fact, a new Energy Star certified dishwasher will save, on average, 3,870 gallons of water over its lifetime.
Energy Star is a government-backed certification that allows consumers to easily find environmentally-friendly appliances. These appliances have to meet certain standards in order to qualify.
New Energy Star dishwashers use only about five to six gallons of water per wash and include newer features like soil detection and improved water jets to help you cut down on your water usage even more.
And conveniently, Energy Star appliances come in a variety of sizes. Built-in dishwashers can usually run more than eight place settings as well as six serving pieces -- all in only six gallons.
Even apartment dwellers who don't have a built-in dishwasher can take advantage of compact dishwashers available.
Outside influences on water usage
Of course, there are other variables that can affect the answer to the question, "How much water does a dishwasher use?"
For one thing, most dishwashers come with multiple settings such as "pots and pans" or "heavy soil." These increase the amount of water used. It's best to avoid using these when possible.
In addition, many households have turned down their water heater temperature. This helps save on heating costs and ensures a safer temperature for the family.
However, it also can limit the ability of the dishwasher to clean properly, which can result in having to run the same load twice. Consider buying a dishwasher with a heat booster so it can reach the recommended 150 degrees for proper cleaning.
Hard water can also affect water usage. The mineral deposits that are left when the water evaporates can build up on your machine and make it perform poorly. You can combat this by getting a dishwasher with a built-in water softener or using vinegar or rinse aid in the rinse aid compartment.
Now You Know Everything!
So now to answer the final question: How much water does a dishwasher use? The answer is that it's up to you. Buying an Energy Star appliance, making sure hard water isn't damaging your machine, and using the proper setting can have huge effects on the dishwasher's water usage.
Making wise choices in your dishwasher purchase and usage can drastically lower your water usage.

Water Witch incidentArticle Free Pass
Water Witch incident, (1855), brief military skirmish near the Paraguayan Ft. Itapirú, involving the USS "Water Witch," commanded by Lt. Thomas J. Page, and Paraguayan troops who fired as the vessel was exploring the Paraná River, in international waters.
In 1853 the "Water Witch" set out on a scientific study, organized by the U.S. government, of the Río de La Plata waterways. In 1854, after Page became involved in a controversy between the Paraguayan president Carlos Antonio López and a North American firm, Paraguay barred foreign war vessels from its waters. In the subsequent incident in 1855 on the Paraná River, one U.S. seaman was killed and several others were injured, and gunfire from the "Water Witch" killed a number of Paraguayan troops.
In 1859 the U.S. government dispatched a naval force to Paraguay to force a settlement of its claims involving the "Water Witch" incident and earlier disputes. The settlement included a formal apology to the U.S. government for the attack and an agreement by the Paraguayan government to pay the slain seaman's family an indemnity of $10,000.

Test if two date ranges overlap in Ruby or Rails

A check if two date or time ranges A and B overlap needs to cover a lot of cases:

Rails Long Term Support
Rails LTS provides security patches for old versions of Ruby on Rails (2.3, 3.2, 4.2 and 5.2)
 - Prevents you from data breaches and liability risks
 - Upgrade at your own pace
 - Works with modern Rubies
Read more Show archive.org snapshot
1. A partially overlaps B
2. A surrounds B
3. B surrounds A
4. A occurs entirely after B
5. B occurs entirely after A
This means you actually have to check that:
 - neither does A occur entirely after B (meaning A.start > B.end)
 - nor does B occur entirely after A (meaning B.start > A.end)
Flipping this, A and B overlap iff A.start <= B.end && B.start <= A.end
The code below shows how to implement this in Ruby on Rails. The example is a class Interval, which has two attributes #start_date and #end_date. These dates are considered inclusive, meaning that if one interval ends on the day another interval starts, we consider those two intervals overlapping.
Note how we implemented both a version for loaded Ruby objects (Interval#overlaps?) and a scope that returns all overlapping intervals (Interval.overlapping). Depending on your problem you might need one or both or those.
class Interval < ActiveRecord::Base
 validates_presence_of :start_date, :end_date
 # Check if a given interval overlaps this interval
 def overlaps?(other)
 start_date <= other.end_date && other.start_date <= end_date
 end
 # Return a scope for all interval overlapping the given interval, excluding the given interval itself
 scope :overlapping, -> { |interval|
 where("id <> ? AND start_date <= ? AND ? <= end_date", interval.id, interval.end_date, interval.start_date)
 }
end
This assumes that start_date <= end_date is always true.

If you mix dates and times incomparisons, mind to not compare datetimes with date ranges in MySQL.

not high enough!". Please someone double check my math: If the height has to be 6.6e6cm (stated above) at 29.7 cm each A4 (vertical), that would mean 222,222 sheets of paper one on top of another. Each stack of 100 pages is aprox 1cm high. That would represent the stack to be 2222cm high, ergo 22m, roughly a 7 story building. Unless there is the equivalent of 6 stories in the waving paper, or the length of the folding 7x that of an A4, or the stick figure is 7 times closer to the camera than the stack of paper is... THE HEIGHT OF THE PILE IS OH SO WRONG!!!!!! Please prove me wrong!

Assumption #1) the graph is drawn on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of ordinary paper in landscape orientation.
Assumption #2) the graph is drawn in normal (linear) scale.
Assumption #3) Cueball is 6 feet tall.
Trusting MSPaint with the conversions, I read the first four bars to have about 5 units (megajoules per kg) per pixel. 76 million units divided by 5 units per pixel is a 15.2 million pixel tall bar.
Looking again to MSPaint, I read the 8.5" dimension of the paper to be about 193 pixels. 15.2 million pixels of graph bar divided by 193 pixels per page is 78756 pages.
Looking above, I read that 100 pages is 1cm, so our stack is going to be 787.56cm tall.
On this side of the pond, that's 310 inches, or about 25 feet.
So, the stack Cueball is looking at is too short to house an accurately long enough bar....
...IF the stack's footprint's longer dimension is only 8.5 inches. While the original graph paper appears to be 8.5x11, the ribbon of paper continuing the bar does not appear to be segmented. Again looking at MSPaint, it would seem the ribbon is about 4.75" wide. The stack is clearly much longer than it is wide. If the stack is 30" long and 4.75" wide, the stack would be whittled down to just over 6 feet tall.
So, making a gang load of assumptions, and scaling from an drawn image, it's reasonable to say the stack in the image could be accurate enough.
The explanation's assumption above that the gasoline bar is 4cm tall makes the piece of paper 96.5cm (38") tall, and that's just not practical. Using the scale I've based my statements on makes the gasoline bar just about 9mm.

The stated value of 76'000'000 MJ (76 Terajoules) per kg Uranium corresponds roughly to the energy released by the fission of U-235 nuclei of 202.5 MeV or 3.24·10-17 MJ per nucleus [[1]]. One kilogram of pure U-235 would release about 83 Terajoules. In a real nuclear power plant more energy is generated due to breeder reactions, so that per kg U-235 about 128 TJ are produced. One kilogram of natural uranium has about 0.71% U-235 and therefore the potential to produce about 910'000 MJ in a usual nuclear power plant. A fuel rod as used in a nuclear power plant (enriched to 3.5% U-235) has the potential to produce about 4.5 TJ. --162.158.150.231 01:19, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Why the Germans are later 70 than people in other countries – Video
Age is not the same age: In a global study, researchers at the University of Washington evaluated, how old people actually are, the feel 65. FOCUS Online explains where in the world, 46-Year-old the Constitution of a 65-Year-olds have – and as we Germans have cut off.
How old someone is, according to year of birth, that doesn't say much about his actual physical condition. Scientists at the University of Washington (USA) wanted to find out, therefore, where people feel the world's longest-jung.
Complex study of the age
The health scientists evaluated the medical data of the past 30 years, from 195 countries. Important is only the actual, i.e., the chronological age was not. For the first time the researchers pulled information about the biological and psychological Constitution alike. You looked at the fight, when people worldwide with age-specific limitations. So, for example, with cardiovascular disease, bleeding in the brain or respiratory diseases. Also, how long people are mentally fit and well. As a control, the global Burden of Disease Study, the 65-Year-old stood in the centre. The results were in "The Lancet Public Health" published.
The Germans feel that they are 70 years of age, such as 65
The researchers found that the fittest people in Japan and live in Switzerland. There 76 feel-Year-old is still as young as 65. So you are 30 calendar years older than the inhabitants of the poor island state of Papua new Guinea. There are already 46 feel-Year-old ready for retirement.

Quick Answer: Who Killed Mozart?
What illness did Mozart die of?
The many modern medical diagnoses explaining Mozart's death include tuberculosis, mercury poisoning, syphilis, rheumatic fever, kidney failure due to chronic glomerulonephritis, Henoch–Schönlein purpura (a syndrome of bruising, arthritis, and abdominal pain, often accompanied by kidney problems), scarlet fever, and ….
Did Mozart die poor?
Mozart was a hedonist who was incapable of saving for bad times. He spent money when he had it and suffered when he did not. However, Mozart's life was not marked by poverty.
Who was the greatest composer of all time?
Ludwig van BeethovenThe German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven is widely regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived.
Who is better Mozart or Beethoven?
Who was Mozart's rival?
Antonio Salieri" In case you are living in Ch'pyangong and missed the news, the Shaffer play is about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his rival Antonio Salieri, and much of it is based on fact. Salieri was the court composer in the Vienna of Mozart's day, internationally famous, a prominent teacher, a man universally respected.
Who killed Mozart due to jealousy?
SalieriThis gripping though somewhat long-winded drama is not a musical, yet it's often underscored with music by the prolific and influential classical composer who died penniless at age 35. Amadeus is a work of imagination based on historical gossip that intensely envious Salieri actually poisoned Mozart.
Was Salieri responsible for the death of Mozart?
Salieri suffered a physical and mental breakdown in the autumn of 1823, was admitted to the Vienna general hospital, and in a deranged state of mind, accused himself of having killed Mozart. Quickly rumors spread throughout Vienna. … In the long run it was not Mozart, but Antonio Salieri who had been poisoned.
Did Mozart and Salieri ever meet?
Weber, Mozart's father-in-law, had heard it by 1803, and cold-shouldered Salieri ever after. And 20 years later it was still doing the rounds; Rossini joked about it when he met Salieri in 1822. … Then, in 1823, Salieri – hospitalised, terminally ill and deranged – is said to have accused himself of poisoning Mozart.
Did Mozart and Beethoven know each other?
Some historians, however, are skeptical that Mozart and Beethoven met at all. … Moreover, Mozart already had a pupil living in his home, the nine-year-old Johann Nepomuk Hummel. While it cannot be determined whether Beethoven actually met Mozart, it is more probable that he heard Mozart play.
At what age did Beethoven die?

is the only thing that calls Reveal() on the Typewriter script.
Now that all the infrastructure is in place, it's time to tell a joke.
Creating Custom Tracks
Ha ha! The joke's on you. There's one more piece to the puzzle. To keep Timeline neat and tidy, your jokes deserve their own Track. So next, create one more script and name it JokeTrack. It's not much to look at, but it packs quite a punch(line). :]
Add the Timeline declaration to the script, above the class declaration:
using UnityEngine.Timeline;
Instead of the usual Monobehaviour, this script needs to derive from MarkerTrack. So replace the default class definition with:
public class JokeTrack : MarkerTrack
Finally, add two Attributes:
[TrackColor(255f/255f, 140f/255f, 0f/255f)]
 1. Configure the track to work with JokeReceiver.
 2. Customize the track UI to any color you want.
Save the script and return to the editor. Now, you're ready to be funny in style. Seriously.
Telling a Joke
Select Timeline in the Hierarchy and make sure the Timeline Window is open so you can see the two Activation Tracks you added previously. Now, drag the JokeText GameObject to the left panel, then select Joke Track to add it to the Timeline.
Next, at the 3:00 second mark, right-click on the JokeTrack and select Add Joke Marker. In the Inspector, populate the content of the message as follows:

Where to Go From Here?
Great job on completing this tutorial! You can download the completed project files by clicking the Download Materials button at the top or bottom of the tutorial.
Feel free to tweak the project to your needs and turn it into something that gets you laughed at. :]
Besides the obvious use of creating different jokes or an entire set of them, you can use the infrastructure you just built for the JokeMachine for other types of machines, like:
 - Cutscene narratives.
 - A multi-track system for dialog between characters.
 - Adding Animation tracks to the Timeline to make the Comedian bounce up and down when it laughs.
 - Moving the Comedian's mouth in time with the Typewriter.
 - Even creating your own custom Marker/Receiver/Track system to design and easily tune obstacle patterns in an endless runner.
Timeline is flexible and powerful.
The Unity Timeline will continue to evolve, so follow the latest updates in the Unity Timeline official documentation.
For more examples of things you can do with Timeline, check out the Unity Blog.
