But talking about why this was a bad idea is one way to help educate more people about responsible behavior. People make mistakes and sometimes do things without thinking. He realized that what he had done wasn’t a good idea. It’s a good story, but don’t do it yourself.Įditor’s Note: Soon after publishing our article took down his post and sent us an email. Polluting the airwaves is much worse than polluting your neighbor’s eardrums one of them violates municipal noise codes and another is breaking federal law. While ’s tale is a grin-inducing two-minute read, You shouldn’t, under any circumstances, do anything like this. Getting this answer relies entirely on asking the right question, something I suspect 90% of the population is completely incapable of doing. Wikihow, Yahoo Answers and Quora – the web pages ‘normies’ use for the questions troubling their soul – are sometimes unbelievably literate when it comes to unintentional electromagnetic interference, and some of the answers correctly point out grounding a stereo and putting a few ferrite beads on the speaker cables is the way to go. ![]() That said, this is a wonderful tale of revenge. It would be an even better idea to not put his call sign online in the future. Needless to say, using a radio to kill your neighbor’s electronics is illegal, and it might be a good idea for to take any references to this escapade off of the Internet. That’s a matter for when you tell everyone on the Internet. How? At seven in the morning on a Sunday, you don’t ask questions. With a car mount antenna pointed directly at the neighbor’s stereo, could transmit on a specific, obscure frequency and silence the speakers. The results turned out even better than expected. Maybe, just maybe, if he pressed the transmit button on the right frequency, the speakers would click. In his fury, saw a Yaesu handheld radio sitting on his desk. An EMP was the only way to find any amount of peace in his life, and the electronics in his own apartment would be sacrificed for the greater good. In a hangover-induced rage that began with thumping bass at 7AM on a Sunday, tore through his box of electronic scrap for every capacitor and inductor in his collection. This happened every day until found a solution (Patreon, but only people who have adblock disabled may complain). The people next to ’s third apartment liked music, usually with a lot of bass, and frequently at seven in the morning. His second apartment was a town house, which had a TV mounted on the opposite wall blaring American Idol with someone singing along very loudly. His first apartment had upstairs neighbors who were apparently a dance troupe specializing in tap. It seems has particularly bad luck with neighbors. ![]()

Police claimed he tried to escape when they killed him, but witnesses said he was executed.Ī video later emerged of alleged security forces ordering people they suspected of being Boko Haram members to lie on the ground before shooting them dead. Around 800 people were killed in this round of violence. Yusuf was eventually captured by soldiers and then handed over to police, who shot him dead. In a violent campaign that stretched some five days they attacked police stations and engaged in gun battles before the military brutally cracked down. Yusuf angrily denounced the security forces and called on his followers to rise up against them. A five-day uprising and crackdownĪuthorities from a task force known as Operation Flush II in Maiduguri confronted Yusuf’s followers in 2009, wounding at least 17 Boko Haram members. The group has since said it wants to be known by a phrase that translates to “People Committed to the Prophet's Teachings for Propagation and Jihad”. It could have a wider meaning though, since “boko” may also signify “Western fraud” or similar interpretations. The most commonly accepted translation of the name, a phrase in the indigenous lingua franca Hausa, is: “Western education is forbidden”. Outsiders gradually came to know his Salafist sect as Boko Haram, based on their understanding of his teachings. Yusuf founded his own mosque in the northeastern city of Maiduguri. ![]() He later denied it, saying the youths involved had simply studied the Qur’an with him. It is unclear whether Yusuf played any direct role in the violence in 2003 and early 2004. He had a strict, fundamentalist interpretation of the Qur’an and believed that the creation of Nigeria by British colonialists had imposed a Western and un-Islamic way of life on Muslims. They had been followers of a young, charismatic preacher named Mohammed Yusuf. Here they violently clashed with authorities. The group now known as Boko Haram began to emerge in 2003, when a collection of like-minded Islamists retreated to a remote area of the northeast called Kanamma. Here is an explanation of Boko Haram and its violent insurgency: 2003 beginnings Today much of the north badly trails the south in terms of education and wealth due to a complex list of historical, cultural and other factors. Much of the world learned of the Boko Haram terrorist group after they kidnapped 276 school girls from their dormitory in the town of Chibok in 2014, but for years its steadily worsening attacks have been wracking parts of the country.īoko Haram must be understood in the context of Nigeria’s current conditions: it is Africa’s most populous nation, largest economy and biggest oil producer, but astounding levels of corruption have left it without basic development and infrastructure.ĭisparities between the country’s north, which is mainly Muslim, and its south, which is mostly Christian, are also important in understanding the conflict. ![]() ![]() He has pushed for economic reforms to address wealth inequality in the U.S., particularly the racial wealth gap.

Booker's first term saw the doubling of affordable housing under development and the reduction of the city budget deficit from $180 million to $73 million. He ran again in 2006 and defeated Deputy Mayor Ronald Rice. He ran for mayor in 2002 but lost to incumbent Sharpe James. He won an upset victory for a seat on the Municipal Council of Newark in 1998, staging a 10-day hunger strike and briefly living in a tent to draw attention to urban development issues in the city.

The first time I watch it, I can’t think of anything except the ridiculous things. So you’re basically getting a chance to self edit, based on the episodes, after they’ve all been shot.Įddie: I know a lot of actors will say they don’t watch themselves, but I tend to watch every episode. With that in mind, I will boldly go into Season Two. Look, I love the fact that he’s funny, but I want the character to be spontaneously funny and not just a caricature. That’s why he’s at the Warehouse to begin with.Įddie: Exactly. I don’t want him to turn into just a silly character. So I want to make sure that Pete remains grounded and remains…I want him to seem competent at his job. I feel as I’ve watched some of the episodes, I feel like maybe…and Jack will probably kill me for saying this, but I feel personally, that maybe my performances at moments felt pushed to me. Like even if something isn’t necessarily written in the script to be funny, I’ll always try and find something funny in it. But I want to make sure that Pete stays…I tend to really kind of go for the joke a lot. I’ll kind of let them do their jobs, and Jack Kenny (executive producer) runs such a great efficient writers’ room that I feel like I don’t really have to say much. ![]() I thought they did such a great job, that I don’t know if I really need to add much to it. I’ve been invited to say whatever I feel in regards to the character. Since season one was completed before the writers knew about season two, have you had any discussions on where you’d like Pete to go? Now that the writers can take their time a bit, what type of character development is in store for Pete, and do you have any hand in that?Įddie: Um, yeah, I do have input. In this exclusive Eddie talked to us about where he’d like to take Pete in Season two, a little about tomorrow night’s season finale, and his hopes for next season. ![]() Your old pal Seels recently had the opportunity to chat with the one and only Eddie McClintock, star of SyFy’s original series WAREHOUSE 13. She played Anna Ripley in Amazon's critically acclaimed show "The Legend of Vox Machina," Karai in several "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" properties, and various characters in "Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters." She was also Adira in "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures," and D'Vorah in multiple "Mortal Kombat" titles.Hey GMMR fans. Hu has also turned into a prolific voice actor in the years since "Warehouse 13," performing in dozens of animated shows and video games. When her time on "Warehouse 13" came to an end, Hu landed a string of TV roles, making some brief but notable appearances on "Being Mary Jane," "The Orville," and "L.A.' Finest." She also bagged a recurring role on The CW's "Arrow," playing the deadly Triad assassin Chien Na Wei, better known as China White. Before "Warehouse 13," Hu was probably best known for playing Eva Watanabe in "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan," Yuriko Oyama (aka Lady Deathstrike) in "X-Men 2," and The Sorceress in "The Scorpion King," the Dwayne Johnson-led spinoff of Brendan Fraser's "The Mummy" movies. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the few battles of maneuver from a conflict best known for static trench warfare, Tannenberg saw German forces in the east effectively destroy General Alexander Samsonov’s Russian Second Army. It led to the destruction of an entire Russian Army and. The Battle of Tannenberg was fought August 23-31, 1914, during World War I (1914-1918). Tannenberg brings the massive battles of the Eastern Front in WW1 to life with 40 players fighting for control of key sectors of the battlefield, each one. It was perceived as a brilliant military victory, a battle of encirclement of the type that Hannibal had pulled off at Cannae. The battle of Tannenberg was a defining victory for Germany in the first months of World War I. In July 2005, a renowned German publishing house offered a new book on the history of the Teutonic Order, written by a German professor of Medieval History.2 The author is well known for his accuracy and scholarly approach to the various issues concerning the Teutonic Order, not only in Prussia and Livonia, but also in the bailiwicks of the Holy Roman Empire and the Mediterranean region. The Battle of Tannenberg immediately sent the German people into celebration, and soon assumed a borderline mythical status. In the following, I will use the term “Tannenberg” for that battle because it is the most common one in English usage, and not the Lithuanian “Žalgiris” or the Polish term “Grunwald.” It refers to the famous battle of Žalgiris in 1410 and the role of the Lithuanian army under the command of Grand Duke Vytautas. This battle, in which a large number of Russian soldiers and officers died, turned into the Battle of Tannenberg Offensive. This article acquaints the reader with a crucial letter from the Middle Ages, one that has changed the interpretation of the history of Lithuania on an essential point. Tannenberg is the most authentic war game based on the Battle of Tannenberg, which took place in the area between the Dnieper and Bug rivers in the East Ukrainian area of the Russian Empire in 1914. LITHUANIAN QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES,Volume 56, No.2 – Summer (2010) Yes, the Battle of Tannenberg was fought near Allenstein, in East Prussia, in the German Empire.

Some I tried tiReader, KyBook 3 (use it for my comics, PDFs, epubs and mobis) but crap as an audiobook player, BookPlayer (free but lacking), Audiobook Player SmartBook.Īnyway long story short I decided to go with mp3 Player Player which is $3. ![]() I tested out many audiobook apps to see what would get me by until Emby matures which I’m sure they will eventually. I only have to "look" at the Fire interface once or twice a week to keep thinks running smoothly. I setup a playlist of several audiobooks on my Fire and I then can con control the Fire using Alexa throughout my house. I just want to retire my remaining Plex server that is on my Shield TVthat has its only main purpose to server audiobooks. I do not listen on a TV but I have a Fire TV connected to my whole house audio system and I use that, using Plex, to listen to audiobooks. On your "few people listen to audiobooks on a TV" statement: I have to question that a bit. I have tried in FireFox and Chrome without any success at all. I have tried to resume audiobooks in the web app and it simply does not work at all. The TV apps are just lagging behind on this (but will get there eventually) because very few people listen to audio books on a TV. I believe the web app or the mobile apps will give you this basic functionality. Of course the fancy stuff would be good but, for me, it is unneeded. I would like to get correct functionality on at least one of my clients and I do not much care which one even in the web browser would be OK.īTW: I do not need or care about metadata or artwork or anything except correctly playing, resuming, fast forwarding and rewinding the books. My current server version is 4.1.0.26 which is, I think, the latest beta. I am willing to try just about anything to get it working I just need guidance. The bottom line is I cannot get even basic audiobook functionality working and I would really like to. I have also tested audiobook functionality in several clients (Roku, Fire TV, Shield TV) and on none of those can I resume even after allowing a book to play for more than 30 minutes. However if I stop playing and exit the browser when I reenter I can only start over from the beginning. I have found that I can, in the web browser, start a book playing and then use the file position pointer to move wherever I want in the book. My books are all in single large files and are simple basic mp3s. I have set resume percentages at 1 for minimum and 100 for maximum. I have chosen the audiobook library type. I have been unable to get any of these basics wrking for audiobooks at all. That is the resume functionality works and I have even seen some people reporting that ff and rw work to some extent. I have seen reports that some people have enabled audiobooks and have rudimentary functionality. ![]() ![]() Simply uncheck the box labeled Add period with double-space, and you’ll be good to go. To the right of that window are several checkboxes for typing-related options. Windows users: download texlive.iso here. It seems that the Visual Studio Code is one of the beast choice. It contains AMSTeX, the Latin Modern Fonts, the TeX Live Manager to add and update packages from TeX Live, and SyncTeX. However, TexShop (on macOS) does not have a pretty highlight system. If you don’t want to insert a period when pressing the space bar twice, go to System Preferences > Keyboard, then select the Text tab. It contains all of the standard tools needed to write TeX documents, including TeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, MetaFont, dvips, MetaPost, and XeTeX. Also it supports pdfsync forward/backward searching - I. It has a lot of mappings and other latex goodness including completion of references/citations (it loads them from the bib file and gives prompts based on what you've already typed). Like its iOS counterpart, this feature is tucked away in the Keyboard settings of your Mac. Can't really help with the question but if you want to use vim I would highly recommend vim-latex suite. For that reason, I have chosen to stop my Mac from adding a period at the press of a double space. While I find the feature helpful on iOS, it actually gets in the way of my typing habits on my Mac. ![]() It seems to be disabled by default if you’re upgrading a Mac to macOS Sierra, but it was definitely enabled by default on my brand new MacBook Pro. ![]() Just like you can easily insert a period when you double-press the Space bar on your iPhone or iPad, this feature is also available on Mac running macOS Sierra and later. ![]() ![]() For emailed receipts (not an attachment) - The usual IFTTT recipe doesn't seem to work because most of the emails are HTML so I think I'm going to have to p rint to PDF into the "EvernoteScansForHazel" folder.I *think* I'm going to have 2 distinct paths that need to be taken, but I'm struggling to find the solution. The problem is, I can't figure out how to get my emails into the system appropriately. ![]() This setup works so well that now I want certain emails to run through the system. If there isn't a match for notebooks, it simply creates the note in my ~Inbox. 'SortToProperty' is my notebook filing structure (I'm a real estate developer so the bulk of my papers are property related) where it uses more content rules to identify which noteboook the document belongs in, then creates the note it the appropriate notebook.It then gets moved to a "NameSpecificFiles" where it names the files based on content rules and gets moved to 'SortToProperty'.File gets scanned to a folder called "EvernoteScansForHazel," where it sits for 2 minutes, giving Acrobat time to OCR it.My solution? I setup a cascading folder system to automate as much as possible. I loved having my entire life in Evernote, but hated the repetitive task of naming things that I get monthly. I used to scan my docs with my SnapScan and manually lable/file them manually. I've gone down the rabbit hole of using Hazel to OCR, rename, and file scanned docs into specific Evernote and it has transformed my paperless life by saving me time. ![]() ![]() You will also enjoy the multi-media entertainment system with a DVD player, two 6.5"" interior speakers, and an LED TV for those rainy days.

It’s important to remember, however, that these things change all the time. Some other listings that we’ve looked at have pulled the company logo from directories like the Yellow Pages or the White Pages (which is another reason why your listings should be updated frequently). But this defeats the purpose of Google My Business Listings, which is to provide the user with useful information about your business, like what your store or product look like. We can only speak from the data we’ve collected, but what we’ve noticed is that many of those companies have only uploaded their logo. We can already hear you saying, “But Yoghurt, what about my competitor who has THEIR logo first on THEIR listing?” Saying thank you seems like a bit of a stretch. Although your first photo preference is taken into account, there’s no guarantee that your preferred photo will be the first photo on Google.” Pictures of food at a restaurant, for example, tend to rate well. Google determines which photo will be shown first using a number of factors, like how well the photo represents the services or products the business offers. “Recommend the photo that you want your customers to see alongside your business name on Google Maps and Search. Straight from the horse’s mouth, Google writes about this in their guidelines for local businesses : The more relevant the picture is to the nature of your business, the better chances you have to rank higher.” Content of the image, as “Google tends to rank photos of real images higher than logos.In doing so, she outlines several factors that you should probably consider when choosing your preferred image, including: This is supplemented by Natalie Gould, author at Advice Local, who again talks about Google’s insatiable need to enhance the user’s experience. ![]() Mike Blumenthal, author at Local University explains how Google will ordinarily favour images that enhance the user’s map experience stating, “It (Google) will give the image you chose preference … BUT … if it is a logo or a head shot and they have an image that would improve a user’s Map experience (like an exterior view) they will substitute that image for the one that you chose”. Whilst this may seem counter-intuitive to traditional branding practices, what Google is trying to do is serve a consumer with all the tools they need to find your business in real life, providing contextual evidence to build your business up to something beyond a logo. ![]() In true Google fashion, they seem to be completely ignoring the preferences of their customers in favour of simply doing their own thing. As you can see, there’s no logo, which both intrigues and infuriates us simultaneously. ![]() |
