New Pi owner
Hi, I just received my new Pi 4 and assembled it in its case. It came with a Noobs card, but I want to create my own card with Raspbian plus desktop.
I also want to load W3DJS 2.0. Can I load all that on on a sd card and then initialize my Pi with all that on the card? I'm sure this is all elementary with y'all but I am brand new at this and would appreciate any help. I have also read about creating an SSH file. Help, please!!!
Ray Cadmus

I believe that noobs will give you the option of installing the latest raspian desktop version. The W3DJS image contains the operating system already so just putting that image on an sd card will get you going there. I'm including a quote from a W3DJS post in case you were not aware of this:
"The image will require a 32GB or larger SD or micro SD card to install. This image uses the default password for "pi" which is "raspberry". Please change it upon first launch, as the SSH server is enabled and this would be a security risk.
One more caveat: This image comes pre-installed to operate as a wireless Hotspot for field operations. If you are using this at home, and don't want to operate as a Hotspot, then open a Terminal on the Pi and type in "KillHotspot" (without the quotes) and hit return. Networking will then operate normally."

AbstractThis was an prospective audit composed of medical chart review and patient questionnaire. Relapses were stratified into 3 groups: low, moderate and high intensity. Age, gender, MS subtype, disease duration, expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score, disease modifying therapy (DMT) use and employment status were recorded. Direct costs included GP visits, investigations, clinic visit, consultations with medical staff, medication and admission costs. Indirect costs assessed loss of earnings, partner's loss of earnings, childcare, meals and travel costs.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho blasted his players following Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town in the Premier League.
First-half goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre proved enough for Huddersfield to record their first ever Premier League win over the Red Devils, despite Marcus Rashford giving the visitors some hope late on.
Mourinho has claimed that his team had a poor attitude during the defeat at the John Smith's stadium, which has left them five points off the top of the Premier League table.
The United boss also took exception to comments made by Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera, who gave an interview claiming that the players lacked desire as they suffered their first league defeat of the 2017-18 campaign.
Mourinho told reporters, in quotes carried by United's official website:
"When I lose matches, I like to lose matches because the opponents were better than us and had more quality than us. When you lose a match because of attitude, that's really bad.
"I heard Ander Herrera in his flash interview saying the attitude and desire was poor. Oh my God, when a player says that and feels that, I think they should all go to the press conference and explain why. Of course, it concerns me."
Next up for United is a trip to Swansea City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night, before returning to league action at home to Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.

Our history is full of people who have championed peace and diplomacy over war. We have honored those people and those ideals. Yet time after time we have allowed lies and greed to lead us into endless and inhumane wars.
The assassination of a member of Iran's government was a flagrant disregard of international law and has opened the door for retaliation and the escalation of death and destruction.
The fumbling assertions of the Trump administration regarding troops in Iraq demonstrate the dangerous incompetency that is at the helm.
This president continues the legacy of past presidents, which is to be led by those who make money on weapons and war. When he speaks of protecting United States interests, he is speaking of oil. If we allow this escalation of war and the stealing of resources we are complicit and culpable.
But make no mistake;it is Congress that declares war, not the president. And it is the people of the United States who can still determine their collective history.
Therefore it is imperative we stand for peace and diplomacy in whatever means is available to us. It's also imperative that we end our financial ties to the industries of weaponry and oil. And we must talk to those who believe in the false words and actions of a leadership, which is totally corrupt. And to the evangelicalswho are following in hope of some fulfillment of prophecy, I say, "Snap out of it".
We need your kind hearts, we need your love of humanity and of the God you claim to worship; we need you to remember.
We must demonstrate to a world very uncertain of our motives but very certain of our ability to create chaos and death, that we, the people, are willing to change course.
It is still up to us.

Ernesto Valverde has been sacked by Barcelona after two-and-a-half years at the Nou Camp.
Valverde is the first manager to be sacked by Barcelona mid-season since Louis van Gaal was dismissed in January 2003.
Barcelona are currently ahead of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga on goal difference and through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, but they lost 3-2 to Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup on Thursday.
Valverde, previously at Athletic Bilbao and Valencia, replaced Luis Enrique in 2017 and won back-to-back league titles during his time in charge.

Lucian has been a mainstay on our blog for many years. He steadily feeds us a supply of exceptionally produced tracks. So when a new song from the New Yorker comes our way again, it sort of feels like a case of "deja vu". But that's about where the strange familiarity stops, because Lucian's music is diverse and variegated. He's always linking up with a fine array of vocal talent on his songs, plus we can never predict what sort of affecting electronic opus he'll bless us with. New song Deja Vu features saccharine vocals by fellow New Yorker Philosofie, and it's quite the aerial darting, dreamy fluttering future bass and future pop confection. It brushes against us lightly, then skims back into the heavens, a celestial and jocular celebration of youthful love. Lucian promises more music to come, and we look forward to with much joy, particularly when cruising on the wings of this birdlike aria. Download Deja Vu, here.

The words "Love & Leave" seem devastating. Normally, they might even fill me with a certain sense of dread. 'Love' feels finite and ephemeral, in the face of ultimate desertion. But knowing Love & Leave comes from long time IHM championed East Coast producer Lucian and young rising Floridian producer Jupe gives me more than enough reason to dive wholeheartedly into the emotional turbulence of this expertly tempered torrent of bold whizzing, tense shuddering future bass and feverish burning future R&B. UK crooner Tim Moyo leaves us flushed and swooning with his velveteen vocals, while jazzy keys play tender tricks on our hearts. Love & Leave is a passionate fire on a cold winter night; it'll keep your soul burning and your despairing hearts racing through the darkest moments of the evening. Download the track, here.

Prolific and illustrious NYC producer Lucian seems quite content pleasing people endlessly with his music, and he's been feeding us a steady diet of magnificent future pop and chill trap arias for quite some time. Is he the most reliable producer in the scene? I'd say yes. So much so, that when he has any time to spare at all, not only does he NOT stop gifting us music, but he even offers up spectacular re-imaginings of his own songs. Lucian's Sick Of Love, featuring British singer songwriter Beth Duck, has enchanted me plenty times over since its release close to half a year ago. Its a lithe and nimble, airy and playful future trap dalliance, but hark, what's this? Lucian has dropped Sick Of Love "ReImagined", and he's turned it on its head with a darker and more austere future bass re-work. This more robust and volatile Sick Of Love bounces with resilient stamina. It's a slick weighty alternate approach on its infectious melody and Beth Duck's ravishing vocals. I'm left confused which version I love more. The original? Or ReImagined? Download the track, here. Re-visit the original, here.

Long time IHM supported production whiz Lucian has always razzle dazzled us with his creative genius and versatile dexterity, as well as his dedication to his craft. Over the years, he's presented us with a long list of incredible tunes featuring a plethora of enthralling guest vocalists. Lucian continues his en point delivery with new original Need U, featuring smoky voiced Montreal chanteuse LIA on guest vocals. Need U's future bass is nothing short of sexy smoldering. LIA's sultry ravishing vocals on the track evoke Banks and VÉRITÉ. The effect is spectacular when ensconced in the fortified walls of Lucian's bold sawing, cinematic surging production, which feels like a fine mixture of Flume, Bearson, and Whethan. You can also stream Need U via Spotify, here. They say that death and taxes are the only certain things in life. I think we need to add the reliability of Lucian's splendid production wizardry to that list.

A month ago, ever prolific and versatile New York producer Lucian dropped another one of his fine gems in the form of breathy enchanting, breezy snug future pop confection Close To You, which features Singapore's Jasmine Sokko on misty dulcet vocals. Crazy Beats, an 18 year old DJ and producer from Mexico, snags our ears with his interpretation of Close To You. He takes advantage of the original's dewy properties to create a dreamy weightless, wispy light future bass/melodic trap remix. The ethereal edit is a free download, here.
March 23, 2017
NYC producer Lucian has worked with plenty of magnetic vocalists on his bounteous tunes in the past, and his latest electronic confection features none other than Singaporean chanteuse Jasmine Sokko, the very same artist who gave us spicy sumptuous single 1057 earlier this year. Her breathy coy voice, much reminiscent of Phoebe Ryan here, is the perfect accompaniment to Lucian's chosen sonic path on Close To You. The prolific producer gives us a phosphorescent glowing, breezy snug future pop sound on his new enchanting tune. If The Chainsmokers evolved and mutated by taking on some Whethan genes and some Louis The Child DNA, they might sound something like this buoyant springing number.

Perhaps someday, a long, long time from now, I'll be sick of love, but I kind of doubt it. I'm such a romantic at heart. I also doubt I'll ever be sick of Lucian, the NYC producer who's most recent original is a superb enthraller that fuses electro pop with future bass. Sick Of Love, which features British singer songwriter Beth Duck, is the subject of a scintillating new remix by a 16 year old whiz kid from Austria who goes by the name of RIzE. Rise he shall if he continues to present us with tracks like this larger than life re-imagining of Lucian's tune. RIzE's lively future trap re-make packs a feisty kick and an aerated wallop in its bold extensive soundscape. Download the remix for free, here.

We've shared pretty much every Lucian tune that ever surfaces since we had the honor of premiering his earliest remixes over two years ago, and for good reason, too. The NYC based producer has never failed us when it comes to his enthralling future bass and electro pop concoctions. This fruitful trend continues with Sick Of Love which features British singer songwriter Beth Duck on vocals. Sick Of Love is a bubbly balm, a sprightly popping Terror Jr meets Cashmere Cat emulsion. I have a feeling our love affair with Lucian is going to last for eternity at this rate.
January 26, 2017
Los Angeles based music producer Bradley Allan, whose credits include working with superstars like Nicki Minaj, Mya, Shontelle, and more, turns in a stunning remix of one of my favorite Lucian tunes. He gives the New York producer's luscious captivator Calm Waters, which features British singer songwriter Beth Duck, a royal trap treatment. You won't find any still torpid "water" on this regal surging, cinematic spiking spectacular. The remix is profuse with colossal waves that pivot and crash, swivel and break, all the while lifting and dropping us in breathtaking fashion.
December 13, 2016
We've known for a very long time now that we can always count on Lucian to drop that future bass fire. After all, we've been huge supporters of the gifted producer from New York from the very start of his prolific sonic journey, and that adventure is obviously going to continue taking him to magical chart topping apexes. We, the fans, get to tag along for the ride, awestruck by fantastical soundscapes and epic vistas. Lucian proceeds to captivate us all over again with a beautifully ethereal, crystalline melodic tune named Sober Heart, even enlisting Finnish electropop artist Olivera to deliver glacial enchanting, airy sublime vocals on his quivering sonata. Sober Heart is lithe and elegant yet full of such heart affecting emotion. Download the chill trap and future bass dazzler for free, here.

It's thought that more than 160,000 people in Malawi have visual impairments, with half caused by cataracts.
Sightsavers started working in Malawi in the 1950s. Much of our work in the country involves helping to improve eye care services, particularly in rural areas, so people with visual impairments can be diagnosed and treated.
In Malawi, 8.2 million people live in areas at risk of trachoma, and more than 12,500 people have the advanced stage of the disease that can lead to blindness. Sightsavers is working to eliminate trachoma and provides vital outreach to isolated communities, enabling health workers to reach as many people as possible.
In 2017 we helped to distribute more than 1.2 million antibiotic treatments for trachoma and in 2018, we performed 596 operations for people with the advance stages of the disease. Surveys show the country is on track to eliminate the disease by 2019.
After years of struggle, Winesi has found happiness and hope for the future thanks to a cataract operation.

Many people with disabilities work in the informal sector. Unless they can leave their house every day, they struggle to meet their basic needs. For them, the situation is dire.
Sightsavers' Ronnie Stapleton visited pre-schools across Malawi to train teachers how to include children with disabilities. She also learned a lot along the way.
Sightsavers won the award for its work supporting children with disabilities in Malawi.
A course designed for caregivers on the inclusion of young children with disabilities in community-based childhood care centres in Malawi.
Our research shows that a lack of education and financial resources, social stigma and inaccessible physical infrastructure mean fewer people with disabilities are participating in politics in Africa.
It is estimated that there are over 134,600 people with albinism living in Malawi, many of whom face deep-seated discrimination.
The Coordinated Approach to Community Health programme, which finished in March 2019, has restored the sight of more than 21,000 people and generated a wealth of knowledge.

Including news from Liberia, where Sightsavers has reopened an eye clinic that has been closed for two years. Plus updates from Senegal, Malawi and more.
By hosting a summit, the UK government is committing to making disability-inclusive development a global priority. We must make sure this political momentum is not lost.
In February 2017, Sightsavers supported our partners with the ambitious task of conducting field surveys for trachoma in Tanzania, Uganda and Malawi.

Two teenagers wanted to watch the new Marvel superhero film "Black Panther," but they did not want to fork out the money for two movie tickets.
So instead, they tried to sneak in and trick the theater's manager. The duo used the oldest trick in the book, with one of them climbing onto his friend's shoulders as a disguise for a very tall man in a trench coat.
They then topped off their outfit by buttoning up the coat and donning a fedora before standing in line for a ticket.
It was all recorded on camera and has become a viral video.
Another angle of standing in line. pic.twitter.com/wYi9r3hFeq

When one of the teenagers asked for "one to Black Panther" the ticket attendant was not fooled.
"You have to get down, man," he said in the video.
We tried getting the two for one special at black panther. The manager was not having it. pic.twitter.com/Ktqsuh7s3m
— Pillsbury (@stevelikescups) February 16, 2018
The two teens started laughing, but they still kept up their disguise.
"Get down from what?" the teen asked.
The ticket attendant still didn't buy it: "We can't let you in unless you get down," he said.
Here's the full video hahaha #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/SFlJ7o9b3i
— Pillsbury (@stevelikescups) February 17, 2018
The duo walked away in disappointment, but the footage has gone viral on Twitter, gaining over 9 million views after it was posted on Friday, Feb. 16.
The user who posted the video tweeted it to the "Ellen Show," apparently in hopes of getting some recognition.
One user asked a question that gained over 6 thousand retweets: "Where did y'all find such a tall dang jacket."
"I swear to God if someone says, Burlington…" someone commented.
Another Twitter user replied: "He got it from Burlington." That comment got nearly 5,000 retweets.
It's unclear where the theater was located, but the user named Pillsbury who posted the video, is from Carson, California, according to his Twitter bio.
The highly anticipated film blew past expectations and made $192 million in ticket sales over the weekend in North America, according to CBS News.
It makes the film the fifth-biggest opening weekend ever, not accounting for inflation.

Council launches Green Dog Walkers Initiative
Arun District Council has signed up to a community-led scheme which aims to tackle dog fouling and bring irresponsible dog walkers to heel.
The national Green Dog Walkers Scheme asks dog owners to display a Green Dog Walkers badge to show that they take responsibility for cleaning up after their pets.
Volunteers are also encouraged to carry extra dog poo bags and be happy to give them out to other dog walkers who have been 'caught short' and to highlight any problem areas to the Council.
Councillor Dan Purchese, Arun District Council's Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, said: "The Green Dog Walkers initiative is about educating the small minority of dog owners who don't pick up after their pets.
"Dog fouling in the district continues to be an issue, so we'd encourage dog owners in the district to sign the pledge and help us to tackle the problem in order to keep our beaches, streets, footpaths and green areas clean and safe."
Anybody who allows their dog to foul in public and fails to pick it up could be given an £80 on-the-spot fine. Failure to pay could result in court action.
The scheme launched last weekend in conjunction with Angmering Parish Council at their Community Day Event where residents were given more information on how to become a Green Dog Walker.
If any other Parish or Town Councils would like to become involved with the scheme, then please contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com
For more information on the scheme, visit www.arun.gov.uk/greendogwalkers

This article…
…is written for you if you are a leader of a business
- and you are determined to install processes and skills in order for your business to grow
- or you feel that your business should be achieving more with the resources you currently have.
…might have particular relevance if you are the leader of a smaller business that sells products or services to other businesses (B2B).
…is a summary from observing the successes and challenges of 32 determined business leaders who we have had the good fortune to support, in some capacity or other, in 2014.
…is, of course, not suggesting that your business will be successful if it implements just these 12 practices. Business life is more complicated than that. However, these practices make for a good start, and if you judge where your business stands versus these, you will know that you are at least on the right path. And, of course, this article may spark your strong opinion, which we would love to hear.
So here goes.
The leaders who were successful in growing their businesses in 2014 through successful marketing and sales, did the following…
1. They communicated clearly that their businesses were permanently striving for sales goals
(and that these were realistic and for time periods that had real impact, eg 'this month'; 'this quarter').
The leaders may have been disciples of BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) thinking or something more scientific (such as Sales & Operations Planning), but whatever their approach, they knew that they had to have specific, immutable numbers and diary dates in order to galvanise the efforts of their team. Once they had these set and agreed, they communicated performance monthly, and to everyone.
2. They had a marketing plan that reflected the resources they had available.
These leaders knew it is too easy to create an unrealistic wish-list of activities that simply would not get completed. The credibility within their teams would be lost.
Some leaders used the 5M's model for sensibility checking their plans:
- Money: they made budgets available that were realistic to delivering the plan
- Machines: they ensured they had the equipment for delivering the plan
- Materials: they ensured that the marketing collateral and new product pipeline was consistent with delivering the plan
- Minutes: they ensured that they had sufficient time available, in the right places, to deliver the plan
- Manpower: they ensured that they had sufficient people and skills to deliver the plan.
3. They didn't over-plan, they just got started.
Our leaders knew that it was better to get going than to try to be right. They knew that their current view was just a best guess hypothesis, given the information they had to hand. And it was simply action that was needed to prove this hypothesis right or wrong. They implemented quickly and invested more if it was right, changing if it was wrong. They knew there was no such thing as failure, just learning on the pathway to success.
They retained nimble businesses and did not try to create a (turgid) planning function, reflective of a more corporate business.
4. They foresaw a journey without end.
They recognised where they were starting and, because their business journey had no end, they defined a vision (ie what the world would look like as a result of their influence). This vision kept their companies going a certain direction, rather than an alternative direction, and made decision-making easier.
In moving from a starting point towards their vision they defined a mission, or elevator statement, that defined their day to day activities by
- Profiling who their target client was
- Defining what the target's source of pain was
- How they could help them
- What benefit their client got as a result.
5. They implemented a Client Relationship Management (CRM) process because they recognised that modern B2B selling is long and complicated.
Our leaders recognised that the modern B2B buying process required a very 'mechanical' sales process because:
- A buyer is constantly distracted and research shows that a seller needs to ask for a piece of business in excess of 5 times. Our leaders monitored where their businesses were in the marketing and sales process. And they didn't give up.
- A buying decision in the modern B2B world typically takes 3-6 months after the point that parties are first introduced to each other in person. The successful business leaders found interesting ways (of interest to the buyer) to keep in touch and add value to the relationship over this long period of time.
- They realised that buyers are really looking to buy trust, not whatever was being sold. Buyers know that a 'spanner will hit the works' sometime in the future and, so long as the service or product they are buying is considered to meet the current requirements, they were looking for a partner who they could trust would be there, standing with them shoulder to shoulder, when something unforeseen did go wrong in the future.
- The buying cycle is long. Winning new clients is difficult and expensive. These successful leaders knew that the implication was that every person in their organisation needed to think and contribute to 'client lifetime value': what was invested now, and along the way, should be seen in context of the value of a client's business over the long term (the most ambitious would consider 10 years, or more).
- Depending on the size of the buying organisation the leaders knew that more than one person was likely involved in the buying process. The leaders sought to influence each of these individuals: the Economic Buyer (the one with the cheque book or budget responsibility), the Technical Buyer (the person with responsibility for product or service specification), the User (the person who was to use the product or service), the Coach (the person in the buying organisation who supported our client, from the inside, in their bid to win the business).
6. They knew that they could not succeed over the long term without investing more in digital marketing activities.
Our leaders knew this is for several reasons:
- Digital marketing (for simplicity, think 'website') means that their marketing was permanently switched on: ie promoting their business was not limited to the normal hours of business. They knew if they were not undertaking 24 hour marketing, their competitors surely were.
- Research shows that a buyer typically makes 50%, or more, of their purchasing decision before they make contact with a supplier organisation in person. Our leaders knew that, in the old days, the first thing the buyer did was to pick up the phone, and that now the first thing buyers do is to conduct online research. Our leaders knew that if their businesses were not highly visible online, then they wouldn't feature in the buyers decision making process.
- Digital marketing can be highly automated and measureable. Therefore, our leaders knew that digital marketing was a cheaper route to selling. If they were not doing it then their cost of selling would be greater than their competition.
- Modern selling is about building a feeling, within the buyer, that the seller is trustworthy. Our leaders knew that the internet is one of the first places that a buyer goes to in forming an opinion as to whether a particular seller can be trusted.
7. They had a marketing plan that measured activity and conversation rates
Our leaders knew that the only thing that really counted, from a marketing and sales perspective, was how much sales revenue they were winning. However, because any one sale was more than 3 months away our leaders had to get a feel if they are on the path for zero sales, one sale or hopefully a great deal of sales. The only way they could do this was to:
- create a pipeline of 'gates' that each sales prospect had to move through on their way to becoming a client
- create activities (eg send out newsletters, write blogs, make whitepaper downloads available) that were appropriate to the interest of each prospect at each gate
- measure the conversation rate of moving a prospect between gates.
8. They asked for external help
They knew that modern marketing is so complicated that is it was not possible, nor made economic sense, to employ all the necessary skills in-house. They employed external specialists on flexible arrangements that enabled their company to keep their overheads low and their output high.
9. They stayed focused on their target markets because they knew that they couldn't be everything to everyone.
They had limited resources. In order to keep on top of their game, to serve their clients better over time and to develop leadership in a specific field, they knew that they had to stay focused. This sent a positive message to new clients too because these clients knew they could be relied on to stay specialists for the duration of their relationship.
10. They treated marketing is an investment, not a cost.
By measuring their performance at every step in the marketing process and the cost of moving a prospect between gates, they knew that if they invested a specific additional sum in increasing the size of the pipeline, they would get a specific size of sales revenue as a result.
11. They were very particular in ensuring that all their marketing collateral and sales talk spoke of 'you' and not 'we'.
They knew that to truly portray that they were putting their client interests first, they needed to talk in the correct pronoun: ie 'you'.

Stress Response Suppressor
Stress induces the adrenal gland to release glucocorticoids, which activate nuclear receptors that initiate changes in gene transcription. HES1 encodes a transcription factor that is activated by Notch signaling during developmental events. Revollo et al. found that glucocorticoids suppressed the expression of HES1 in adult mice and that HES1 protein consequently disappeared from the promoters of glucocorticoid-regulated genes. Mice lacking HES1 in the liver developed glucose intolerance, a metabolic abnormality that was corrected by removal of the adrenal gland. However, administration of exogenous glucocorticoids in adrenalectomized animals restored this glucose intolerance in HES1-deficient mice. These results suggest that HES1 prevents transcriptional activation of glucocorticoid-regulated genes under unstressed conditions and that suppression of HES1 is required for transcriptional responses to glucocorticoids.
