![]() The IA describes the Stream Grab as the “spritzer” version of Twitter grabs (as opposed to a sprinkler or garden hose). I didn’t investigate this latter one, because I wasn’t sure if it provided the actual tweets or just metadata about them, while the older project definitely did. This project is no longer active, but there’s a newer one called the Twitter Archiving Project which has data from 2017 to now. Their Twitter Stream Grab consists of monthly collections of daily files for the past few years, from 2016 to 2022. The application keys, which functioned for the last 7 years, have been rescinded by Twitter.”įortunately, there is the Internet Archive, which has been working to preserve pieces of the internet for posterity for several decades. “Twitter’s changes to their API which greatly reduce the amount of read-only access means that the Hydrator is no longer a useful application. ![]() You can search and get IDs to the tweets, using their Hydrator application, which you can use in turn to get the actual tweets. But alas, there are rules to follow, and to comply with Twitter’s license agreement Harvard and these institutions can’t directly share the raw tweets with anyone outside their institutions. They are also affiliated with a much larger project called DocNow with other schools that have different tweet archives. They have an archive of geolocated tweets in their dataverse repository, and another one for political tweets. But I thought – surely, someone else has scraped tons of tweets for academic research purposes and has archived them somewhere – could we just access those? Indeed, the folks at Harvard have. ![]() You can register under Twitter’s new API policy and get access to a paltry number of records. Many of these projects rely on third party modules that are deprecated or dodgy (or both), and even if you can escape from dependency hell and get everything working, the changed policies rendered them moot. Surely there must be another solution – there are millions of posts on the internet that show how easy it is to grab tweets via R or Python! Alas, we tried several alternatives to no avail. But the graduate student I was helping last week and I discovered that both the Twint and TAGS tools no longer function due to changes in Twitter’s developer policies. When such questions turn up from students, I’ve always turned to the great Web Scraping Toolkit developed by our library’s Center for Digital Scholarship. Social media data is not my forte, as I specialize in working with official government datasets. What I’m presenting here is one, simple solution. Given all the turmoil at Twitter in early 2023, most of the tried and true solutions for scraping tweets or using their APIs no longer function. I’ve created some straightforward scripts in Python without any 3rd party modules for processing a daily file of tweets. These are tweets where the user opted to have their phone or device record the longitude and latitude coordinates for their location, at the time of the tweet. In this post I’ll share a process for getting geo-located tweets from Twitter, using large files of tweets archived by the Internet Archive. ![]() “All of my deceptions have come to light,” Gregory would write in his diary in September 1982. The betrayal was enough to permanently sever the relationship, according to Donna. “Everything she knew about him was a lie,” Donna said. There was also a list of women’s names, although it wasn’t clear whether it was a list of women he had slept with or just a list of women he had admired, as Gregory had insisted. After the affair, Kit had apparently read Gregory’s diaries and discovered that many of the details she thought she knew about her husband - like his college degree and service in Vietnam - had actually been a lie. ![]() Kit’s sister Donna had another possible explanation, however. Gregory said he chatted with Kit, loaded his two girls into the car, and then made several trips to load their bags and presents for the party into the vehicle.Īs for that letter, Gregory told “Dateline: Secrets Uncovered” he believed that Kit may have been apologizing for starting her food photography career without him, although the couple had always talked about working together to start the business. in the morning to pick them up for a birthday party,” he told “Dateline: Secrets Uncovered.” Gregory said the last time he saw his estranged wife was that Saturday when he had gone to her house to pick up the couple’s daughters for the weekend. I want you to know I forgive you for everything and ask your forgiveness for the very deep pain I put you through.” “I don’t want to be disgruntled or angry. “I’m ready to go forward,” she had written. Police had discovered an unopened letter Kit had written to Gregory on a table inside the home. Immediately, police looked at the men who were closest to Kit, interviewing both Henry and Gregory. Speakers were ripped from the walls, a TV lay near the front door, and a plant had been knocked over, but there were no signs of forced entry and investigators thought that the scene looked like it had been staged. ![]() It looked as though the home may have been ransacked.

The attack had been so violent that Anaheim Police Detective Boyd Underwood - who took on the case decades later - described her head as being “almost gone.” Her throat had been slashed and she was found laying nude from the waist down. “I saw her lying there, it was just blood everywhere,” O’Connell told "Dateline" correspondent Keith Morrison. That’s when Henry discovered a back door unlocked and let himself into the home to make the gruesome discovery. ![]() They arrived to find no lights on in the house but noticed that Kit’s car was still parked in the garage. Henry and O’Connell had gone to check on Kit after she failed to show up for a family dinner the night before. It would be decades before the case would ever be solved. 23, 1983, Kit was found by her brother Joe O’Connell and new love interest, Henry, in her Anaheim Hills home with her throat slit. The new year signaled new possibilities, but on Jan. The resulting affair was enough to derail her marriage, and by late 1982, Kit and Gregory were in the midst of a divorce, as Kit happily pursued the new romance. The move didn’t just bring her closer to her dream career - it also brought her closer to a photographer she often worked with named Henry. The couple settled down and had two daughters, but unlike fairy tales, the romance wouldn’t last.Ī few years into the marriage, Kit started working as a food stylist, the person who is tasked with setting up food to be photographed for ads and magazines. “It seemed like a fairy tale,” her sister Donna said of the pair’s 1977 nuptials. The gentle, quiet guy - who taled of his college degree and time serving in Vietnam - liked to sew and cook and was a perfect complement to her vibrant and sunny personality. Kit met her future husband, Gregory Mordick, at California’s Disneyland, where they both worked at the “It’s A Small World" attraction.

It's easy to use, yet fully featured to handle any time control. Once the hand reaches 12:00 again, the flag drops. This moves the flag from a vertical position to a horizontal one. Once the minute hand comes closer to 12:00, the tip touches the flag and the clock continues to move ahead. In the analog clock, a flag will be sandwiched between 11:00 and 12:00 on both clocks. The time on one player’s clock starts ticking as soon as the other one makes a move and punches the clock. They were eventually replaced by connecting two analog clocks. In that era, hourglasses with sand were common clocks, keeping track of the time spent to finish the game.Įach player had separate hourglasses to track time. Historically, the first-ever clocks used to record game time in a chess tournament were back in the early 19 th century. That player would have lost the game because his flag fell without making the required number of moves. If the time runs out for one player, then a flag will be indicated with a “beeping sound”. After every move, the players push a button that stops their own clock and starts the opponent’s clock.

How does a chess clock work? A chess clock is really made up of two separate clocks combined into one so that only one of them runs at a single time. IN this post, we will be discussing how chess clocks work, why we use them, and the different types of clocks in use today! How Does A Chess Clock Work Before the game starts, the arbiter has to decide which kind should be used for the game. The clocks can either be digital or analog. These buttons prevent the clocks from simultaneously running. One button stops the clock and the other starts the timer. In chess games where players use time control, adjacent game clocks (consisting of two buttons) may be used.

Kain: "What manner of creatures have you been practicing on? Dull mortal fools, with their minds full of commerce and dung? My mind is far too strong for your powers". Marcus points at Kain and uses his gift."I sentence you to the hell of your own making - a prisoner for all time"."Did it not occur to you that perhaps my cause, and not yours, is the cause of right and justice? That your ambition to rule this world is but the youthful craving of a petty noble, who has gained too much power, but never enough?".I will give you the peace you seek, Kain. The vampire and all of his kind shall be razed from the land. Let them learn, as they writhe in the flames and their bones dissolve, the futility of their actions.

![]() The step by step antiderivatives are often much shorter and more elegant than those found by Maxima. The calculator lacks the mathematical intuition that is very useful for finding an antiderivative, but on the other hand it can try a large number of possibilities within a short amount of time. Otherwise, it tries different substitutions and transformations until either the integral is solved, time runs out or there is nothing left to try. partial fraction decomposition for rational functions, trigonometric substitution for integrands involving the square roots of a quadratic polynomial or integration by parts for products of certain functions). When the integrand matches a known form, it applies fixed rules to solve the integral (e. g. It consists of more than 17000 lines of code. The program that does this has been developed over several years and is written in Maxima's own programming language. In order to show the steps, the calculator applies the same integration techniques that a human would apply. That's why showing the steps of calculation is very challenging for integrals. The antiderivative is computed using the Risch algorithm, which is hard to understand for humans. Maxima's output is transformed to LaTeX again and is then presented to the user. Maxima takes care of actually computing the integral of the mathematical function. This time, the function gets transformed into a form that can be understood by the computer algebra system Maxima. When the "Go!" button is clicked, the Integral Calculator sends the mathematical function and the settings (variable of integration and integration bounds) to the server, where it is analyzed again. ![]() MathJax takes care of displaying it in the browser. This allows for quick feedback while typing by transforming the tree into LaTeX code. ![]() The parser is implemented in JavaScript, based on the Shunting-yard algorithm, and can run directly in the browser. The Integral Calculator has to detect these cases and insert the multiplication sign. A specialty in mathematical expressions is that the multiplication sign can be left out sometimes, for example we write "5x" instead of "5*x". In doing this, the Integral Calculator has to respect the order of operations. It transforms it into a form that is better understandable by a computer, namely a tree (see figure below).

GM 4L60e transmission is built in Toledo transmission, Toledo, Ohio, and at Romulus transmission located at Romulus, Michigan, and Ramos Arispe, Mexico. Invariably allowing it to handle the torque of the high GM Gen small block V8. Subsequent models featured a stronger torque converter and input shaft measuring 300mm. The 4L60 manufactured between 1996-1999 was built with a newer belt housing bolt and a more powerful 6-bolt tail housing. Whereas applications with four-wheel drives were fitted with a more durable aluminum covering. It utilizes a small iron or plastic cover to cover the bell housing on vehicles with two-wheel drive. The 4L60 produced between 1993-1997 utilizes a one-piece case where the bell housing was wrapped inside the case. So literally, it was until 1997 that the 4L60e was phased into the market. However, in 1997 General Motors launched the electronic version of the 4L60, which is the 4L60e. The 4L60 came into the market commercially between 1993-1994 and was outfitted to vehicles such as Cadillac Fleetwood, Chevrolet Suburban, and GMC Sonoma. The name-4L60 emerged after General motors altered some components of its predecessor-the THR700RA. What does this mean? GM initially replaced the TH700RA in 1990 with the 4L60 operated hydraulically. However, the 4L60e wasn’t available until 1997. The 4L60e transmission is produced by General Motors(GM) and is a successor to the TH700RA, which was first produced in 1982. However, to conform to the OBD II regulations, they were converted to 1-2 shift solenoids and 2-3 shift solenoids. On earlier versions, they were named Shift solenoids A and B, with the PCM achieving four gear ratios by putting them on and off in a preplanned order. Particularly, the GM 4L60e transmission utilizes two-shift solenoids used by the ECU to shift gears. Thus, improving fuel economy and performance. So instead of using hydraulic pressure, it utilizes electronic solenoids and actuators to control the valves, clutch, and bands, allowing for proper timing of gear shifting. The 4L60e, as stated, is electronically operated. However, with the transmission fluid, it goes all up to 162 lbs.ĭepending on the size of the Torque converter used, the transmission can house a total fluid capacity of either 8.4, 11.4, or even up to 14 quarts. Before adding the recommended 4L60e transmission fluid, this transmission weighs 146 lbs. It utilizes four forward gears and one reverse gear and has a vehicle weight rating of 6000 lbs. The 4L60e transmission is an electronically operated 4-speed transmission designed for vehicles with longitudinal engines. Image Credit: 4L60e transmission explained But first, let’s see the 4L60e transmission in detail. We will also discuss some common problems with the 4L60e transmission and how to fix them. So in this article, we will be talking about the evolution of the transmission, its price, and the cars using it. They deliver performance swiftly and are loved by many car owners though it has flaws. It’s one of the most versatile transmissions ever manufactured by General Motors and has since evolved. This is true because it’s one of the most common automatic transmissions in the US car market today. If you own a car with an electronically operated automatic transmission, chances are you have the 4L60e transmission. |
