Netanyahu in No Rush to Restore Ties with Turkey. Ankara Can’t Wait
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 3, 2016

After five years of hostile abuse from Ankara, the Israeli prime minister is playing hard to get against Turkey’s rush to bury the hatchet and resume normal relations. Still at issue is the Hamas operations base in Istanbul.

Hamas military spokesman Abu Obaida declares war
Hamas resumes rocket attacks on Israel, after ultimatum demanding open seaport for Gaza or war
DEBKAfile Special Report August 8, 2014

Hours before the 72-hour Gaza ceasefire was due to expire Friday morning, Aug. 8, the Palestinian Hamas’ military wing slapped down an ultimatum before Israel: Either allow the Gaza Strip to have an open seaport – which would be tantamount to lifting the Gaza blockade - or prepare for a long and brutal war of attrition with thousands of fatalities. Abu Obeida, spokesman of Hamas’ military wing, Ezz e-Din Al-Qassam, announced that their new rockets with large warheads would strike Ben Gurion airport and cut Israel off from its air transport links.

Egypt’s president punishes Hamas, Jihadi Islami in Gaza, fires up strife in Palestinian government
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 7, 2014

Egyptian President Abdul-Fattah El-Sisi, before taking the oath of office on Sunday June 8, became the first regime head to strike out at the Palestinian unity government installed in Ramallah on June 24. He has strengthened the siege on its Gaza partner, Hamas. Cairo insists that the Rafah crossing stays shut unless Hamas hands control over to the Palestinian Authority, which will never happen. debkafile: This places the reconciled Palestinian partners at odds over who calls the shots in the Gaza Strip, presenting their government with the first major test of its unity.

Turkish frigates to confront Israeli vessels, disable their weapons
DEBKAfile Special Report September 12, 2011

Turkey sharply ratchets up its threat of war with Israel. Three Turkish frigates were ordered to the eastern Mediterranean and instructed to disable Israeli military ships if encountered outside Israel's 12-mile territorial waters. This was reported by Turkish naval sources Sept. 12 as Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan was due in Cairo for a controversial visit - in defiance of the Egyptian government's effort to cool the crisis in relations with Israel.

Tayyip Erdogan wants war with Israel
Erdogan drives toward armed clash with Israel. Oil and gas at stake
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 9, 2011

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan this week coolly moved his country towards an armed clash with Israel – not just over the Palestinian issue, but because he covets the gas and oil resources found opposite Israel's shores. He has ordered Turkish warships to enter the eastern Mediterranean in the belief that by breaking Israel's Gaza blockade, he will win kudos as the first Muslim leader to challenge Israel militarily on behalf of the Palestinians and Arab acclaim as the big shot of the region.

Turkey maligns Israel to freeze the IDF out of the US anti-Iran missile shield
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis September 2, 2011

For two years, Turkey has tirelessly maligned Israel, aided its enemies and schemed to destroy its army's strategic value as a key American ally. This campaign hit a serious contretemps in the UN report out Friday, Sept. 2 which justified Israel's Gaza blockade and its navy's interception of a Turkish vessel bent on breaching that blockade, although Israel was assailed for its "excessive response" to the violence of Turkish extremists.  Ankara thereupon expelled the Israeli ambassador and suspended its military accords with Israel.

Erdogan again shuts the door on Israel when UN affirms Gaza blockade legal
DEBKAfile Special Report July 6, 2011

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan applied the brakes to the process of reconciliation with Israel when he learned Wednesday, July 6, that the UN inquiry commission into last year's Turkish-led flotilla had ruled Israel's naval blockade on Gaza legal. Eight Turks and a Turkish-American were killed in a clash with Israeli commandos who boarded the Mavi Marmora. The UN ruling meant that Israel was within its rights and the Turkish vessel's attempt to break the blockade was illegal.

Israeli probe: Gaza blockade, flotilla's interception were legal
DEBKAfile Special Report January 23, 2011

Despite the regrettable loss of life, Israeli soldiers acted professionally, with restraint and purely in self-defense against the violent resistance they encountered aboard the Turkish Mavis Marmora on May 31, 2010. Their interception of a flotilla aiming to break Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip was legal under international law and so is Israel's naval blockade on Gaza. The nine deaths followed hostile Turkish IHH action against the Israeli boarding unit.

Gaza ship prompts US senators' demand for BP-Libya probe
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report July 14, 2010

Muammar Qaddafi's son Seif al Islam may have made too much of a splash by consigning the MV Almathea (Al Amal) to challenge Israel's Gaza blockade: As Israeli warships encircled the ship Wednesday, July 14, a group of US Democratic senators' interest was drawn to his international charity which commissioned the expedition and called for its links with BP to be investigated.
The ship is now on a westerly course for Egyptian El Arish - or Libya.

ME war tensions mount over Gaza-bound "enemy ships." Hizballah pledges reprisal
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 24, 2010

Ominous clouds gathered over the Mediterranean Thursday, June 24 after Israel announced that ships bound for Gaza would be deemed "enemy vessels" and halted by its navy. Hizballah shot back with a threat of violent retaliation, while Israel's northern commander warned the IDF was prepared to deal with threats from Lebanon by "appropriate means."
Fearing war, Lebanese PM Saad Hariri acted to stall the sea campaign.

Gaza sea blockade upheld by US, EU as Israel eases land siege
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 20, 2010

Barring surprises, the sea campaign against Israel's naval blockade of Gaza spearheaded by Turkey may have run its course, debkafile's Middle East sources report. Beirut is close to abandoning the Lebanese convoy, Damascus has turned away requests to use its ports, Cyprus is negative and even the Iranian expedition appears snarled. In the last 24 hours, Israel won US, European and Mahmoud Abbas' support for its sea blockade after its cabinet approved the delivery of all civilian goods to Gaza over land.

Shin Beit Director Yuval Diskin
Shin Bet chief warns against lifting Gaza siege. Hamas has 5,000 missiles
DEBKAfile Special Report June 15, 2010

Shin Beit (Israel's internal security service) director Yuval Diskin sternly warned Tuesday, June 15, that the steps embarked on by prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu and defense minister Ehud Barak to ease the Gaza siege gravely imperiled Israel's security.
Transferring inspections of Gaza-bound vessels from the Israeli Navy to international monitors or foreign ports would leave Israel wide open to a "gigantic security breach." On land, he said, Hamas had piled up 5,000 missiles, a few of which could reach Tel Aviv.

Gaza Port prepares for end of Israeli blockade
Netanyahu yields on Gaza blockade as well as flotilla probe
DEBKAfile Special Report June 14, 2010

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, after responding to US pressure for establishing an independent public probe of the May 31 flotilla incident, is also quietly falling back under the international clamor to ease the sea and land siege of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip by installing international supervisory mechanisms in place of the Israeli military and navy.

debkafile's political sources note for the first time, Israel has exposed its military activities to a public probe in which international figures take part.

DEBKAfile Special Report June 9, 2010

The US military engineers helping Egypt build a steel anti-smuggling wall along the strategic Philadelphi Route dividing Gaza from Sinai were suddenly recalled this week, debkafile's military sources report, during the talks President Joe Biden and Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak held in Sharm el-Sheikh. Anxious to placate Turkey, Washington abandoned its half-a-billion dollar investment in the steel wall and turned to reviewing the Netanyahu government's future.

Iran's Gaza-bound ships ready for clash with Israel - Ahmadinejad
DEBKAfile Special Report June 8, 2010

Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad assured Turkish leaders whom he met in Istanbul Tuesday, June 8 that Iranian "aid" vessels heading for Gazan waters within days will not shrink from a head-on clash with Israel.  On the Turkish-Israeli conflict, he said it would "change many issues in the world and mark the final countdown for Israel's existence."
debkafile reports Iranian and Turkish leaders agreed to synchronize the hoped-for clash with the Security Council sanctions vote - as a stunt for heading it off.

Turkey buries victims of Kurdish PKK attack, suspects Israeli hand
Israel, Turkey, Gaza in covert sea war. Hamas frogmen thwarted
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 7, 2010

Israel, Turkey and the Hamas have quietly embarked on a war at sea, debkafile's military sources report. Monday, June 7, Israeli commandos intercepted Hamas frogmen heading for a large-scale seaborne attack on an Israeli target and at least four were killed. Turkey is investigating suspicions of a covert Israeli hand behind the deadly Kurdish terrorist attack on its Iskenderun base on May 31. Our sources disclose that Ankara posted anti-air missiles there in mid-May to protect Syria and Hizballah against potential Israeli air strikes.

Pro-Hamas US activists launch voyage to Gaza with Palestinian olive oil
Ankara threatens to break relations unless Israel apologizes
DEBKAfile Special Report June 4, 2010

Turkey threatened Friday, June 4 to break off relations unless Israel apologizes for the commando raid on its flotilla as prime minister Recep Erdogan hurled more abuse on Jerusalem and declared: "I do not think Hamas is a terrorist organization." Earlier, Israel offered offer to allow pro-Hamas activists aboard the Rachel Corrie to monitor its civilian freight's entry to the Gaza Strip - to no avail. A tape just released recorded Turkish activists on flotilla as saying before attacking Israeli commandos: "Remember September 11."

DIY Project: Mixed Metal Natural Gift Toppers

We all have our own ways of showing our friends and family how much we love them when it comes gift-giving time. My way: gift wrap. Honestly, I sort of enjoy wrapping gifts more than actually shopping for them. Dont get me wrong. I try my hardest to pick out gifts that will be loved and cherished, but I take great pride in my ability to wrap a fine-looking present like every package is a special little piece of artwork for someone that I love. If youre anything like I am, youre going to love these DIY gift toppers created by spray painting dried natural stems available from most craft stores, floral shops, and even some grocery stores. -Mandy Pellegrin The full how-to continues after the jump!

US Spy Program Monitors American Mobiles From the Sky

Discussion in 'Americas' started by sorcerer, Nov 14, 2014.

    The US Justice Department has repeatedly used light aircraft to pose as cellphone towers and gather signals from thousands of mobile phones, claiming that this aids in criminal investigations; however, it also conducts unwarranted passive surveillance, disclosing the location and identity of thousands of innocent people.

    MOSCOW, November 14 (Sputnik) â€“ The US Department of Justice has been using light airplanes to collect Americansâ€™ cell phone data from the sky and identify and locate the users, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

    The surveillance program is installed in planes which carry so-called â€œdirtboxesâ€ â€” equipment designed to mimic signals from cell towers, which are able to â€œfoolâ€ cellphones into connecting to them.

    Once the phone thinks it's connected to a tower, it sends its registration information, revealing its location and the identity of the user, even if a legitimate tower is closer than the plane overhead.

    The program has been run by a US federal law enforcement agency â€” the US Marshals Service â€“ since 2007 "on a regular basis" from at least five airports near major cities, according to the Wall Street Journalâ€™s sources.

    Using this practice, US officials seem to be able to pinpoint a personâ€™s location to the room he is currently in.

    Using light planes and dirtbox systems also bypasses any need to interact with the carriers.

    The report suggests that it also bypasses encryption systems, such as the one Apple uses in its new iPhone 6 models.

    The existence of the federal program, which indicates that the passive surveillance of US citizens isnâ€™t limited to National Security Agency snooping, has angered privacy activists and civil liberties groups.

    The Wall Street Journal cites Christopher Soghoian, chief technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union, as saying, â€œMaybe itâ€™s worth violating privacy of hundreds of people to catch a suspect, but is it worth thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of peoplesâ€™ privacy?â€

the procedures, processes, methods, etc., of making and using secret writing, as codes or ciphers.
anything written in a secret code, cipher, or the like.
the science or study of analysing and deciphering codes, ciphers, etc; cryptanalysis

1650s, from French cryptographie or directly from Modern Latin cryptographia, from Greek kryptos “hidden” (see crypt) + -graphy. Related: Cryptograph; cryptographer.

The science of coding and decoding messages so as to keep these messages secure. Coding (see encryption) takes place using a key that ideally is known only by the sender and intended recipient of the message.

Note: Historically used in warfare, cryptography is now used routinely in computer networks. This often pits the desire of individuals and businesses to keep Internet information private against the need of government to investigate crime and terrorism.

The practise and study of encryption and decryption – encoding data so that it can only be decoded by specific individuals. A system for encrypting and decrypting data is a cryptosystem. These usually involve an algorithm for combining the original data (“plaintext”) with one or more “keys” – numbers or strings of characters known only to the sender and/or recipient. The resulting output is known as “ciphertext”.
The security of a cryptosystem usually depends on the secrecy of (some of) the keys rather than with the supposed secrecy of the algorithm. A strong cryptosystem has a large range of possible keys so that it is not possible to just try all possible keys (a “brute force” approach). A strong cryptosystem will produce ciphertext which appears random to all standard statistical tests. A strong cryptosystem will resist all known previous methods for breaking codes (“cryptanalysis”).

This isn't good

An oil spill on the Mississippi river has closed traffic on the river. Over 400,000 gallons of No. 6 fuel oil spilled when a barge split in half. I've worked with No. 6 fuel oil in the past. We called it Bunker C. It is a very heavy oil the consistancy of peanut butter that is or was used in ships as thier fuel. I've cleaned several large tanks with residual oil and it's no fun. The stuff is so thick you have to spray it with diesel to got it soft enough to scrape. In spite of wearing gloves, moon suit and respirator the stuff manages to get on your skin and clothes. It doesn't smell too pretty either. Just glad I didn't do too many of those tanks.

Mississippi mud?

Oh and a bit of a news flash. In spite of the best efforts by the clean up crew they'll only be able to soak up about 10% of the spill. The rest will sink to the botton and poison the bottom feeder fish and critters. That's not me that's just the facts of how things work.

GJG said...

well why should the East and West coastlines get all the good oil spills---lets share the wealth of the energy runoff our society has. (just being sarcastic here)---its unfortunate that it happened, but---think about the radioactive and really poisonous chemicals being transported via trains, trucks as well as river barges though our cities------(shudder)---on second thought don't think about it.

Gary (aka old dude)

Bustednuckles said...

Nasty shit, Bunker oil.
Think tar, that is what it reminds me of, we clean tanks like that where I work, thankfully I don't have anything to do with that end.
So 396 thousand gallons of that shit is going to lay on the bottom, slowly working it's way back to the Gulf, poisoning everything that even gets near it.

Wayne said...

Oh, not good. Not good at all.

Step by step we are ensuring our own demise. Step by step.

Is there nothing that could clean up the bottom? Suction tubes maybe, or is it really that thick?

Demeur said...

Oh it's really that thick. To really clean it up would involve removing at least 1 foot of bottom sediment. The problem? The spill is several hundred feet wide by 98 miles long! You do the math.

PoliShifter said...

Sorry to hear it...I am sure the Republicans are already denying there is any damage from the spill just as they claim not one drop of oil was spilt due to Hurricane Katrina.

Demeur said...

I might have mentioned that a couple of coworkers went down to do clean up work for an oil co. even before they started with the houses down there. Yep profits before people it's the republican way.

Mechanism for Constructing Regular Polygons

This Demonstration shows a hinged mechanism for constructing regular -gons, . The mechanism is constructed as follows. The fixed hinges are at , , , , , , and , while the hinges at and slide along and respectively, and is the midpoint of . The mechanism contains congruent parallelograms and and two isosceles trapezoids and . This ensures that the sides , , , and have the same length and that angles , , and are equal.
A square is constructed by moving the mechanism to make coincide with . To draw the red perpendicular to at , which is needed in the construction of the pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, and octagon, keep the mechanism rigid and slide it along until a vertical line is at . The nonagon and decagon need the red line to be inclined at 60° and 36°; these angles come from the hexagon and the pentagon.
To construct a heptagon (or 7-gon), keep in place and turn the mechanism until is on the vertical red line. Four sides of the heptagon are determined. Freeze the hinges and rotate the rigid mechanism so that the rod coincides with the previous location of . That determines the remaining three sides. That the pentagon forms one half of the regular heptagon follows from the fact that the polygonal line is symmetric with respect to .

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I major in Arabic (or Persian, Turkish, Hebrew, or Central Asian languages) in the NELC Department?

Yes. The NELC major requires two years of one language and then other advanced courses or courses in English that focus on the culture of the primary language. The major is not titled "Arabic, "Persian," etc., but the NELC major is the equivalent of such a title.

What languages does the Near Eastern Languages and Civilization department teach?

We teach Arabic, Biblical and Modern Hebrew, Persian, Turkish, Uighur, and Uzbek regularly. We also offer Akkadian, Aramaic, Egyptian (Coptic), Ugaritic, Kazakh, and Tajik at various times. For a current listing of courses please consult the course catalog.

What degree programs are offered within Near Eastern Languages and Civilization?

Undergraduate students: Major or Minor in NELC

Graduate students: Master of Arts in NELC

Doctoral students: NELC does not have a Ph.D. program. Those seeking study leading to a Ph.D. should consider the Ph.D. Interdisciplinary Program in Near and Middle Eastern Studies

How can I declare NELC as my major?

The Near Eastern Languages and Civilization major has an open declaration for anyone in good university standing (not on probation). Students must meet with the NELC Advisor to fill out the Change of Major form. The advisor can explain the various degree tracks offered within NELC or the student can explore the four options here.

If I took language courses elsewhere, how can I enroll in a course mid-sequence?

All students must be evaluated before they are allowed to enroll in language courses beyond the first quarter, introductory level course. Each language has a different evaluation process, which may include meeting with a professor for evaluation or taking a placement test. Please see the Course Restrictions page and/or contact the NELC Advisor for details about a specific language’s evaluation process.

How are the language programs in NELC structured?

Language courses are taught at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels, depending on the language. Each level is a made up of a three-quarter course sequence. The first course for each level is taught Autumn quarter. Students with no prior knowledge of the language must begin in the Autumn quarter. All NELC language courses are 400-level courses. The 41x-level elementary language courses are designed for students without any prior knowledge of the language. Freshmen and sophomores are encouraged to begin language courses early to move through the sequences in a timely manner.

How do I get an add code for a NELC course?

Each course may distribute add codes differently. Check the Time Schedule for instructions to obtain an add code. For courses with “add code only” restrictions, contact the Undergraduate Advisor if the Time Schedule does not indicate otherwise. For courses with a full enrollment please consult the instructor teaching the course.

How do I take a placement exam?

The placement exams are conducted and administered by the University of Washington Office of Educational Assessment (OEA). The OEA is in Schmitz Hall on campus. To find out more about how to get there, and how to register for a test, please click here. Students should check with the Testing Center before going to take a test. For information about specific language placement tests, click here.

If I am a native speaker in a NELC language, may I enroll in and receive credit for language courses in my native tongue?

Native speakers are never allowed to enroll in language courses at the beginning or intermediate levels. Students should meet with the language professor to determine if they may enroll in advanced language courses as each language and situation varies. Native speakers are permitted to enroll in advanced literature courses for their native language.

If I am a native speaker in a NELC language, may I enroll in NELC’s M.A. program and use my native tongue as my primary language of study?

Yes. Native speakers are still required to take an M.A. exam in that language, and the advisory committee will decide what the nature of that exam will be. The exam may involve knowledge of grammar and/or an ability to translate from English into the native language. It also may serve to examine that language in a specific historical period and/or may involve other aspects of language study to be determined by a student’s committee. You will be expected to demonstrate more sophisticated skills and responses for the specialization exam.

Can I audit a NELC class?

Auditing of NELC classes is based on the consent of the instructor and space availability. If you wish to audit in NELC, you must have written agreement from the instructor on file in the Department. Please be advised that at this time Arabic language classes (first, second and third-year Arabic) are not accepting auditors. For more information on UW policies regarding auditing, click here.

May I take a class for an S/NS grade?

It is UW policy that students taking courses S/NS (satisfactory/not satisfactory) must achieve the following minimum grade to pass:

Students sign up for S/NS at the time of registration. Note that credits earned with S/NS grades will not fulfill degree or major requirements. For a full explanation on the UW policies regarding S/NS grades click here.
NELC graduate students who wish to receive S/NS must receive approval to do so from the Graduate Program Advisor or the Supervisory Committee Chairperson. The NELC faculty strongly discourages the S/NS option for graduate students.

Does NELC offer tutoring?

The NELC department does not offer tutoring. Please consult Center for Learning and Undergraduate Enrichment for information on language tutoring at the University of Washington. CLUE currently offers tutoring sessions in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. We also recommend checking message boards around campus for tutoring opportunities.

Does NELC offer translation services?

The NELC Department does not offer translation services. However, we would happy to forward opportunities for paid translation work to graduate students with the appropriate language skills.

Voting Deadline Extended!

Vote now in the Dz Tips and Techniques Challenge—Part 2

10/15/2012 9:10:37 AM |
The voting deadline has been extended in the second Destination z Tips and Techniques contest—which asked Dz members to share their best mainframe advice. Out of 15 submissions, our experts have selected three finalists. Now Destination z members have the chance to pick their favorite.
The top vote-getter will received an IBM Heritage T-shirt (like the one pictured) and $100 Visa gift card.
Voters are also encouraged to post why they like a particular bit of mainframe advice. As an added incentive, one voter who posts such a comment will be selected, at random, to win a T-shirt and gift card as well. So vote and post!

The finalists in are:

1. RDz is a new development paradigm
After working with the classic green screen, ISPF through TN3270, one of the great advice for mainframe career is to use RDz as a new development paradigm in mainframe enterprises. As an eclipsed based tooling, RDz is capable of everything accomplished by TSO, ISPF, and SDSF. Having had a in depth understanding of the TSO, ISPF and SDSF, it was a natural progression to this new state of the art GUI which increased my productivity and thereby improved my overall performance as an application developer for the mainframe world.
2. You don’t need to know everything
You don't have to know EVERYTHING about the mainframe; You just need to know where to look for the information.

3. Don’t forget the backup
Before you make any system changes always create a backup. Held true in 1979 and still does in 2012!

To cast your vote and offer feedback on your favorite finalist, visit the Destination z Community Forum. The polls will close midnight Sunday, Nov. 11. Contest rules are available here.

Complaint Call

People love listening to the news.

They like TALKING about the news.

They even like complaining about the news.

And I think that’s great.

I love the fact that what we do at WWJ  sparks something inside of people.  Makes people listen and react.  Makes them laugh.  Makes them angry.  Whatever.  I love the news.

But here’s what I can’t stand.

I cannot stand when someone calls me, SEVERAL TIMES, to complain about a story.  But they don’t actually TALK with me.

They leave anonymous messages filled with swear words in my voice mail.

They don’t leave their name.  They don’t leave a call back number.

They just want to swear at someone and vent.  And then hang up.

I don’t get that.

Let’s talk.  You know.  Like human beings sometimes do?

For the record…this  particular caller didn’t like the news story about Casey Anthony getting a job offer to be a porn star.

casey anthony Complaint Call

The caller today said he just hopes “that b–ch gets a bullet in her head.”

Thanks for sharing.

[CLJ-1252] Clojure reader (incorrectly) accepts keywords starting with a number Created: 04/Sep/13  Updated: 31/Oct/13  Resolved: 31/Oct/13

Status: Closed
Project: Clojure
Component/s: None
Affects Version/s: Release 1.5
Fix Version/s: Release 1.6

Type: Defect Priority: Minor
Reporter: Alex Miller Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Declined Votes: 0
Labels: reader

Attachments: Text File numkeyword.patch
Patch: Code and Test
Approval: Screened

The reader page at http://clojure.org/reader states that symbols (and keywords) cannot start with a number and the regex used in LispReader (and EdnReader) also has this intention. But:

user> :5
user> (class *1)

Cause: The pattern for keywords is: "[:]?([\D&&[^/]].*/)?(/|[\D&&[^/]][^/]*)". The intention of the [\D&&[^/]] is to accept all non-digits except /. However, if the : matches and 5 does not, the regex will backtrack and unmatch the :, instead matching it in the non-digit charset. The whole match is sent on in the code and the : is stripped later.

Solution: Prevent back-tracking for the first : match by using the possessive quantifier ?+ instead of ?. Once the first : is matched, it will not backtrack to it. (This is also faster.) The patch makes this change in LispReader and EdnReader, updates a couple tests that were using number keywords, and adds a new negative test to check that :5 isn't read.

Patch: numkeyword.patch

Screened by: Alex Miller

Comment by Andy Fingerhut [ 05/Sep/13 5:25 PM ]

Given how far this one is along now, perhaps CLJ-1003 should be marked as a duplicate of this one?

Comment by Alex Miller [ 31/Oct/13 9:39 PM ]

Because this broke existing code (several lib projects like java.jdbc), we have rolled this back. Will follow up with an alternate ticket to address this in some other way.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) – The PGA Championship is under way Thursday under mostly clear skies at Kiawah Island.

Rain earlier in the week forced players to scramble while preparing for the opening round on the Ocean Course, and more thunderstorms are possible later Thursday and throughout the tournament. Kelly Mitchum, D.A. Points and Marcel Siem are in the first group on the front nine.

Tiger Woods, trying for his 15th major championship and first since 2008, is scheduled to start on No. 10 later in the morning with defending champion Keegan Bradley and Martin Kaymer.

This year’s three major champions – Bubba Watson (Masters), Webb Simpson (U.S. Open) and Ernie Els (British Open) – will play together.

Collection History

The Library acquired the majority of the albums in this digital presentation during the early 1930s. Many were originally part of Romanov palace libraries nationalized by the Soviet government and sold abroad for hard currency.

Subjects include Russian Orthodox churches, monasteries, and ecclesiastical art; views of cities, as well as small provincial towns; secular architecture; tsarist- and Soviet-era political exiles; and the diverse peoples of the Russian Empire. A number of albums include portraits of the Tsar or the imperial family; state occasions, military maneuvers, and relaxation at the imperial hunting lodge are all depicted. Represented as well are military operations, particularly during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78. Russian Revolutionary-era photos are extensive, ranging from the immediate aftermath of the February Revolution, to the Stalinist period.

Many of the imperial association albums-that is, those presented as gifts to the royal family-are of superior technical and artistic quality, and in several cases mounted in bindings that are themselves works of art, incorporating silver, wood, and other decorative elements.

"Solo Los Hechos" - Hondo Chavez - RV Intel Report - 10.13.16

"Solo Los Hechos" - Hondo Chavez - RV Intel Report - 10.13.16
Neither Donald nor Hillary will be President of the USA, Inc.. Both are just playing a pre-scripted role to make all things appear normal; this is why campaign rhetoric has gotten so far out of control. It's all fiction.
An old/new form of government will return, it's called the Republic of the United States.
It was created in 1776 via a Constitution that was written by the nations forefather to govern all of its affairs.
This Republic will be announced as restored very shortly, before Nov 8, and a new Republic election will be introduced with brand new candidates.
The Global Financial Reset (GFR) & Revaluation of Currencies (RVC) are each real fiscal events that have the approval of 209 sovereign nations per signed international treaty (Paris Agreement).
Both events are so massive in scope, news of such far reaching transitions have been kept classified, as well as painstakingly rolled out ever so slowly, as to ensure both a successful and safe implementation phase.
Know all currencies of the world have already been recalibrated (day and time unknown), collateralized per a new gold supply whose value is set daily in Shanghai, China as opposed to London.
Global monetary truth and balance have already been updated and right now operating on an equitable monetary platform with unhackable quantum computing system capacity.
This new sovereign digital currency for the old/new Republic was also quietly incorporated at midnight EDT Oct 1, 2016. Also a new Republic government including President, Cabinet, Congress and brand new Supreme Court bench was sworn in.
Suddenly the old/new Republic Treasury was allowed to settle all of its historic claims in its own sovereign digital currency at both domestic and international banks worldwide for all T1 (sovereign nations) & T2 (government) debt transactions. These transactions were private and not publicized.
Then at midnight EDT on Oct 10, 2016, T3 transactions were allowed to be settled also in old/new Republic digital currency for individual sovereign debt claims such as as historic bonds, legal judgements and indigenous tribe reparations. These transactions were private and not publicized.
Finally at midnight EDT on Oct 13, 2016 T4 transactions were authorized to begin for both domestic and International transactions in old/new Republic digital currency.
These transactions will also be private and not publicized, even though millions in the general public will be notified through the Internet with toll free numbers to set appointments at temporary off site banking locations.
T4 settlements are to include privately negotiated exchanges (PNE) for first basket revalued currencies such as: IQD, IRR, IDR, AFA, VND & ZIM. Domestically speaking in the US, all intake will convert into this old/new Republic digital currency.
Timing of the toll free release is unknown even to Wells Fargo who has off site bank location over site duties.
Meaning, the entire world is on standby, waiting for the global release at this hour.

Chutes and Landers

Saturday, March 01, 1997
Early in the next century, NASA hopes to send an unmanned probe to Mars that would return to Earth with Martian rocks--and perhaps even evidence of life. Aerospace engineer Michael Roberts, recently retired from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, has been looking for new ways to safely land such a probe, both on Mars and after the return trip to Earth. Current plans call for parachutes to slow a spacecraft’s descent. But Roberts thinks he has a better idea. Instead of dangling from a parachute, a space probe--or even a manned capsule--would sit within a new type of landing device, one without cables to tangle with, that would ensure safer landings on even the roughest terrain. The new lander’s rate of descent would also be somewhat faster than that of a parachute, decreasing the amount of drift.

Although a prototype has yet to be built and tested, Roberts is confident of the design. Four large inflatable legs arranged in a tetrahedral pattern would surround the payload capsule. Before entering Mars’ or Earth’s atmosphere, the uninflated legs would be packed tightly against the spacecraft. During descent, the legs would inflate with compressed air--similar to the workings of an automobile air bag--and tough triangular plastic sails would stretch out between them to slow the craft’s fall. Upon landing, the tetrahedron would settle on three of its legs, with the fourth extending up in the air. Each leg would have a radio beacon or a strobe light to make the lander easier to spot.

Roberts says the lander could be made as large as necessary. If it carried a two-person capsule, for example, he estimates that the lander would have to be about 40 to 50 feet in diameter when inflated. The lander’s payload capsule would be made of traditional aerospace materials such as aluminum, but the sails would be made of a high-strength polymer fiber similar to Kevlar, the material in bulletproof vests. But whereas Kevlar is stiff and sensitive to ultraviolet rays, the lander’s fiber would have to be uv-resistant and flexible enough to be repeatedly folded.

The lander could also have applications beyond space missions, says Roberts. Since the lander depends on the legs to absorb the impact of the fall, it can descend faster than a normal parachute. That makes it ideal for situations in which you need to get a team or emergency supplies down and you don’t want them hanging around in the air. NASA has patented the invention and hopes to have a prototype by the turn of the century.
