The more than 101-meter long yacht (symphony) was not only longer but also two feet wider than the Savannah.
Both of the megayachts are bigger than a normal block of apartments and barely made it through the narrow Dutch canal system. It shows brilliantly on the photos below.
For the preparation of the transport of the second mega yacht special adjustments to locks and bridges had to be made. At one point, the shackles that prevent damage had to be replaced by extra thin pillows because the yacht would otherwise not fit.
Both boats made the approximately 70 km long journey from the Royal van Lent shipyard (just north of Leiden) where they were constructed, via Alphen aan de Rijn and Gouda to the port of Rotterdam. It took two full days to navigate the enormous ships through the narrow Dutch canals.
Federal authorities said Artem Vaulin, 30, of Kharkiv, Ukraine, was arrested Wednesday in Poland and that the U.S. will seek to extradite him to the States. Vaulin allegedly owns and operates Kickass Torrents, which since launching in 2008 has provided a directory that lets users illegally download movies, TV shows, video games, music and other media collectively worth an estimated $1 billion.
In addition to the charges, a federal court in Chicago ordered the seizure of seven domain names associated with Kickass Torrents, which operates servers around the world including in Chicago: kickasstorrents.com, kat.ph, kickass.to, kastatic.com, kickass.so, thekat.tv and kat.cr.
Federal agents busted Vaulin after posing as a prospective advertiser on Kickass Torrents. They linked Vaulin to the piracy site after identifying that the IP addresses he allegedly used to make Apple iTunes purchases on two different occasions in 2015 were the same ones used to log in to the KAT Facebook page around the same dates.
I guess you could write a conversion function that would convert new higher digital pin numbers and mimic what the arduino digitalwrite() and digitalread() functions due. You could call them extendedwrite() and extendedread()
Not True, the extra 16 digital pins are just digital pins. The sixteen analog pins, A0 to A15 are ALSO avalible as digital I/O pins by referencing them as digital pins 54 to 69. These analog/digital pins can be used with the standard Arduino digital pin commands as either analog using pin numbers 0-15 or digital using pin numbers 54-69 by either the Arduino or Seeeduino mega boards.
I am not understanding the format of the digital_to_bitmask_PGM I am guessing it is the bit in the port
register associated with the pin. I am guessing that the register is defined in digital_pin_to_port data structure. If that is the case this is any easy extension if someone can tell me the 16 correct port registers for the 16 unmapped signals. Then I can add the P*, to the first, the correct bits for the second, and declare no timers in the third. Is this all there is to it, or am I missing something. Also can someone more schooled in the Arduino doctrine suggest which term I should ifdef this on and which file I need to declare the existence of this new option in I would appreciate it. Then I will push at the Arduino folks to consider adding it.
I thought about this issues back whenever, and decided that if I really ever needed to access these extra pins I could write simple functions that would utilize the direct port statements to get to them.
I read the chip spec, but I did not find any PWM timer settings associate with the 16 additional Digital outs. I am going to add them after the analog outs for the moment, but I will entertain arguments that they should precede them. This way a code for a arduino mega will be compatable at the bit lvl with this change.
When I get a free moment or two I will test the changes, unless someone shows up with a problem or issue before I get to it. If someone wants to help test it send me a note on the bbs and i will forward the file.

Unlike the 2016 presidential race, there is no Trump or Clinton dominating the field. It's more like a dozen Marco Rubios are fighting to emerge as the obvious winner (and given the industry's political leanings, let's make than 12 Martin O'Malleys).
The Globes, widely considered the most entertaining and off-the-cuff event of the Hollywood awards season, are especially challenging to call this year, given races like best comedy or musical where a movie about a stranded astronaut ("The Martian") is vying with a film about the mortgage financial meltdown ("The Big Short").
In the drama arena, a hyper-fueled action movie ("Mad Max: Fury Road") is giving a methodical newspaper procedural ("Spotlight") a run for its money. In a supporting actor category, Sly Stallone is competing as Rocky Balboa four decades after introducing the character. And the best sitcom field consists of four online series and two pay cable shows, leaving network hits like "The Big Bang Theory" weeping silently in a corner.
Instead of trying to guess who'll win, let's focus on top nominees who deserve be victorious. And may the best spontaneous quip by Ricky Gervais blow up the Internet, because that's why we're really watching.
1. "Mad Max: Fury Road" for best movie drama: Post-apocalyptic, mega-feminist and kickass-visceral, this is the sort of movie usually snubbed by official awards. Unless "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" lands a surprise Oscar nod, this is the best hope for statuette validation for a rock'em, sock'em hit.
2. "The Big Short" for best movie comedy: Leave it to director Adam McKay ("Anchorman," "Talladega Nights") to find something funny about the housing bubble that nearly destroyed the U.S. economy in 2008. It was mainly the fact that Wall Street sharks behaved as if the joke was on the rest of us.
6. "Outlander" for best TV drama: The Starz adaptation of the time-traveling novels has possibly the most loyal fans of any series. The Globes often recognize great television that doesn't register with the Emmys, which (like Claire Randall/Fraser) sometimes seem stuck in a distant century.
7. "Casual" for best TV comedy or musical: Move over, Netflix and Amazon. Hulu should join the streaming winners club for this contemporary look at dating post-divorce that's executive produced by Jason Reitman ("Up in the Air") and stars underrated "Saturday Night Live" alum Michaela Watkins.
9. Aziz Ansari of "Master of None" as best actor in a TV comedy: Unlike striving, in-your-face Tom Haverford of "Parks and Recreation," Ansari's autobiographical character in the Netflix sitcom is a sweet, subdued guy whose millennial challenges are insightful. We liked Tom. We love Aziz.
10. Patrick Wilson of "Fargo" for best actor in a TV film or miniseries: The second season of the FX series was loaded with superb performances. Wilson's was perhaps the quietest and the finest. He masterfully conveyed the dogged commitment of a good and decent man dealt a tough hand by work and life.
