I'm going to do the entire 9 weeks again, focusing on beating my original times. I used the standard "slow down" advice to get through the program and can run 30 consecutive minutes pretty comfortably, however I still can't cover 5K in those 30 minutes. So I'll repeat the program and up my pace.
To me it sounds like you're leaving something out of the story because I don't know anyone who would volunteer to quit their job because they were simply too nice to someone of the opposite sex. Can you give a more specific example of something you said or did that made your bf think you were into A? If neither you or your bf can name something specific then it's probably your bf being an insecure turd.
Thank you so much for sharing this piece of wisdom with me - it's *exactly* what I needed to hear (read: see). What you said sounds very much like it came out of some form of Buddhist psychology. I've struggled hard to let go of my attachment to this man...the more I think about him, the stronger the attachment grows and the more suffering I end up causing myself. It's true that I've been unable to make sense of what happened....but I feel I need to make sense of it, and that the narrative I create in order to do so needs to be based in truth. So it feels as though, by continuing to think about him/the relationship/my own actions and behaviors, I'm continuing to maintain the attachment (triggering feelings of loss and longing) - even though what I really want is to just make sense of it, see the truth of it, so I can experience a sense of resolution/peace/closure and understanding. Maybe by practicing meditation more often, and developing a conscious habit of gently directing my attention elsewhere, the knot of confusion and loss will begin to subconsciously untangle itself. Then maybe the puzzle pieces of the true nature of that experience could rise to the surface and fit themselves together when it's time. Thanks again, friend.
There is no reason to reach out. Send out a wedding card. Or if she reaches out earlier, just respond with a sorry. If you are still thinking of her hurt and what not, you have not moved on. Do it for the sake of your new relationship. From the perspective of this relationship, she is a stranger or at best like a family member who you will inform but need not think about when making a decision.

the GoT books are very very dense with politics so if you don't like that, you're going to have a hard time with them. GRR Martin definitely goes into... extreme detail about that sort of thing. also all those feats lmao. If you are interested in getting into scifi but lean more towards fantasy, definitely give Hyperion a go. it's got that travelers tales format that has roots in classic fantasy literature and it spends basically no time with technobabble or long descriptions of sciency shit. I have read Dune! a couple times actually. I know it's a bit dense and I had a hard time with it as well at first but it's got this sort of.... intangible allure, idk. like you said it's not irresistible, but it stayed with me even when I put it down. if you're into audiobooks (recently gotten into them and my daily commute just got so much better) the Dune audiobook is excellent. Having read AND heard it, I can say i thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and it helps cut through some of the denseness of the book. not having to read through some of those crazy words and names that we have no frame of reference for (Harkonnen? mentats? Bene Gesserit? Sietch? Kwisatz Haderach???) definitely helps. yes i knew that NotW had a sequel but i haven't gotten around to it yet. Honestly, I'm very very conflicted about that book. I was soooo intrigued by the world the author created and the story itself is just one of those great 'a stranger comes to town' stories that i absolutely love. but to be perfectly frank i found Kvothe completely insufferable. I know this is an extremely unpopular opinion and i don't mean for this to be a personal attack on the people such as yourself who love him, but i found it very hard to identify with him as a character. maybe it's because I've never been a young boy, maybe it's because I'm too sensitive to his Nice Guy ^TM aura, or maybe it's because I was also once young and talented and unbearably smug and it just hits too close to home for me. I mean, i don't think young Kvothe was meant to be particularly likeable either. but in any case... looooved the book. hated the main characters (Denna too was so... contrived. idk man I'm sorry). the way i described it to a big fan once was... it reads to me like the masturbatory fantasies of a 13 year old boy. you know? sort of like all of those "middle school boy turns out to be The Chosen One" animes (which I'll admit i still loved a lot of those). there were so many moments when Kvothe would say some smug shit and I would roll | 512 |
reddit | a comedian he is. However, his latest Netflix special [You People Are All the Same](https://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Bill%20Burr:%20You%20People%20Are%20All%20the%20Same/70245034?trkid=438403) is absolute gold - some of his best material to date, and easily his best special ever. I feel like his rise in stand up comedy has been a steady but imperfect over the last 10 years or so...but by the time he made this latest special, his writing, timing, and delivery have been honed to a razor sharp point. Looking forward to his next performance. Also, check out his weekly [Monday Morning Podcast](http://billburr.com/podcast) if you haven't already.
you know, it feels good. I have to admit that I stumble at times. I am not always right, and when I feel like I might not know the right path on a subject, I try to understand others point of view. I try to *know* the truth. I consider myself very open minded. That said, glad I am in the right on this issue. I wake up most days refreshed, sane, calm, understanding, and rational. I am not losing my shit like a raving lunatic in the liberal and 20 year old psycho-sphere.
Sailor Moon. Not in the nostalgia, wear a sailor moon t-shirt way. More of how some people are about Star Wars/Star Trek. I know most every episode, how things tie together, symbolism, the general consensus with how the fandom likes each season (aka SuperS is a terrible season), I love reading the trivia, I love the figurines and the replica props - it's just such a good series!
gnome-software using the server-side auth is a quick workaround to unblock it while we implemented policykit support. The server-side auth is needed for developers to get private snaps, or unpublished revisions of snaps they own; it's not needed for regular users. Now polkit (or was it policykit) is in place (thanks to jamesh), it should be much nicer. The server-side auth will still be there for devs that need it though.

Evening,
If we're going for B&Q's 5014957151543 carpet tiles, may I recommend we
buy some from:

Scroll down to "Classic Carpet Tiles - Royal" - it's exactly the same
one, except at half the price.
343 in stock gives us more than enough (324 would carpet a 9m*9m area,
add a bit for tiles that get damaged under scaff/heavy bits of pine).

Hi,
I want to add the attached accessibility fix to the 3.5.5 branch.
It makes the colors in the article list configurable - which are currently
hardcoded to blue and red. That is a no-no accessiblity-wise and constrains
the use of Akregator for color-blind people [1]. To me, that's reason enough
to add the configuration options for 3.5.5.
The patch is in trunk. It isn't extensively tested yet, but the changes aren't
complex either.
Four new i18n'd strings are added ("Article List Colors", "Use custom
colors", "Unread articles", "New articles").

Hi Massimo and all,
Probably the intention is good, but please guys
could you just think it twice before posting Harbour
"advertisements" on other non-free Clipper compatible
product forums?
This is least to say impolite and really unnecessary
from our POV, besides painting a pretty wrong image
of Harbour.
There are other - much better / yet probably more
time-consuming - ways to contribute to this project,
if you really want, and we probably all know what
I'm talking about.

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I am using a stateless session bean for autorisation. This methods for autorisation I am using in a web-application in the bundled tomcat in jboss 3.2.5. If I change the rights of an user, I do not get the actual data with the ejb. If I restart Jboss, the data is up to date. If I access the ejb remote of local does not change anything. If I access the ejb with a test client (not in the vm of jboss) the data is also up do date. It seems like a caching problem especially in the access from the web-container to the ejb-container. Could it be a configuration problem ? I am new with ejbs...thanks in advance

Gutenberg (PG-19) | from?”
“From Darlton.”
“What’s your father?”
“He’s an engineer on a ship.”
“On board of a man-of-war?”
“No; on one of the big ships that go to Australia,” replied Alfred.
“I suppose you think no small cheese of yourself now you’ve got a place
in the choir, don’t you?” said the other with a sneer.
“I am very pleased to get into this choir, as I am fond of music, and I
hope I shall be an organist some day,” replied Alfred.
“Organist!” laughed the other. “You’ll never be fit for anything
except to blow the organ. I suppose you would consider that
assistant-organist?”
“Certainly! some people aren’t good enough even for that,” replied
Alfred, moving behind the stone pillar.
“Oh, indeed!” said King, “aren’t they?”
He aimed a backhanded slap at Alfred as he spoke, but the latter bobbed
his head, and King barked his knuckles.
“That’s your little game, is it?” he exclaimed, and seizing Alfred he
shook him and threw him on to the grass, nearly causing another boy,
who was stepping backwards, to roll over him. Alfred got up at once and
brushed his clothes, and while he was doing so another boy came up and
spoke to him.
“What’s up?” he exclaimed.
“I am, now,” replied Alfred, smiling.
“So I see,” said Walter Parker, laughing; “but you were down a moment
ago, weren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Has Herbert King been bullying you because you’ve got the place he
wanted his brother to have?”
“I don’t know the name of the boy who pushed me down,” replied Alfred,
“but he did not have it all his own way. He went to hit me, and as I
ducked my head he knocked his knuckles against the pillar instead.”
“I am glad of it,” said Walter. “It serves him right; he is far too
fond of bullying, especially new boys. If I catch him at it I will
punch his head again, as I did last week. You tell me if he hits you,
and I will square accounts with him. What is your name?”
“Alfred Davidson.”
“Very well, Davidson, I hope we shall be friends. My name is Walter
Parker, and I live in Cross Street.”
“So do I,” said Alfred. “I am staying with Mrs. Dawson.”
“I live next door, so we can go home together.”
These few words made Alfred feel quite happy, and at the invitation of
his new friend he joined in the game of prisoner’s base. Walter Parker
was thirteen years of age, a stout, well-built boy, although not very
tall.
Alfred Davidson, although so young, had a voice of wonderful power and
sweetness, and having been taught music by his mother for some time,
he had at eight entered the choir of the parish church of Darlton,
where he had continued his training for some three years. He had just
succeeded in obtaining not only a place in the choir by competition,
to the exclusion of Herbert King’s younger brother, but even the
appointment of a probationer soloist, which was very unusual for so | 512 |

Are there exceptions in certain industries and/or roles? I got mine paid out once a few years ago but when I asked for it again, I was told that was an 'accident' and that I don't get vacation pay. My stub still shows "VACACC" though. Also, I looked through my old pay stubs and I had like $2,400 accrued back in May 2012, then the next stub it was -$1,600 (yes a negative number as opposed to a positive 2,400 on the previous stub), and the subsequent stubs show it slowly working it's way back up by about $90/pay period. I'm currently sitting at $1,575. Some employment info: I get paid a year round salary, but am mostly only working in the fall and winter, sometimes the summer. I do not get EI in the off-season.

This evening I was hanging out with my partner Jasiek as I usually do in the evening.

I do not blame him but I felt disappointed and did not want to have to spend the next few hours listening to him snore so I decided to eat. Although I had just had a big meal, I ate and my stomach hurt but I kept eating because I didn't know what else to do. I couldn't even really taste the food nor was I enjoying it but I just didn't know what to do. And he also left a lot earlier so all the interaction that we had was his sleeping.

Pile-CC | and offer something more than a giant screen to compensate tor the extremely expensive food and obnoxious idiots you had to share the theater with.
1.85 isn't much more than 1.77 and with 3D poised to invade the living room as well it won't serve well as a differentiator. Unless the studios decide to throw the theaters under a bus I expect something wider to go mainstream even if they stop short of 2.39.Reply
The end has begun, Vizio just launched a pair of 2.33:1 TVs at 2560x1080. I hope everyone is looking forward to their 2013 laptop running at 1400x600. It won't be deep enough to have a touchpad, so your lousy low contrast ultra-superglare LCD will be covered in fingrerprints from the touchscreen layer.
The 1080 resolution was a standard HD resolution in the 80s and 90s, long before flat-screen, fixed-pixel displays were even being sold.
While you may argue that 1080p is a step backward in resolution from the 1600x1200 CRTs of yesteryear - not even my beloved (and perfectly calibrated) Sony FW900 24" CRT can hold a candle to the clarity of my 1080p LCDs. Not to mention the LCDs are thinner, lighter, and much cheaper. Plus, having a true 1:1 pixel ratio for HD content is so much better. My wife is a professional video effects editor and can attest to the benefit of 1080p displays for her own reasons as well.
That's progress.
The only regress I can think of with modern displays is the loss of refresh rates over 60Hz. That's the only reason I keep the FW900 - for gaming w/VSYNC @85Hz and up. Analog FTW in that case. More and more 120Hz and 240Hz LCDs are coming out, but without proper mainstream connectivity, what's the point? Meh to that.Reply
I agree that in some respects current displays are better than what we had ten years ago, but some things took a step back, and even if everything else was equal, it's not such significant progress. If I want a monitor that's better than 1920x1200 I need to pay a lot more than I did for the 1600x1200 19" monitor I bought 8 years ago, and it'd be a lot larger.
One would have thought that by now it'd be possible to display high quality text and images on a PC monitor, but somehow we've degenerated into believing video is the only application that matters.
I agree that for standard users, who do just web and content surfing, current monitors are a step up from what they had in past years (1024x768, 1280x1024), but anyone more demanding could ten years ago get something that was a step up yet took about the same space and didn't cost 5 times more.Reply
Yup, what DanNeely said is right. Even with Blu-Ray, which represents the highest data rate currently available for consumer 1080p video (roughly twice what you get with terrestrial HD broadcasts, which in turn have higher data rates than cable, satellite, hulu, and netflix), the signal has to be compressed an amazing ~100:1 vs. a | 512 |

"I have grown up watching Yash Chopra and Raj Kapoor's films. They have always made most iconic films and have always made love stories," Kohli, who is gearing up for the release of his next love story, "Teri Meri Kahaani", told IANS.
"These days people are trying different genres like rom-com, action and comedy. But my belief has always been with romantic films. I have nothing against rom-com, but I prefer love stories and that world of cinema," he added.
Kohli says even the most romantic couple's chemistry will not work unless the film's script, music and lyrics are in tandem.
"I strongly believe that the chemistry has to be in the script, music and lyrics. Everything has to be justified or else even the most romantic couple's chemistry will not work. The dialogues have to be written properly. The chemistry comes after all that. The music then takes things further," said the filmmaker.
He has roped in Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, whose chemistry in "Kamniey became the talk of the town, for "Teri Meri Kahaani" that travels through three different eras. The film is coming out June 22.
The filmmaker says when it comes to music, he would not like to follow any trend.
"Everyone talks about youth and we feel that youngsters like particular kind of music. But the fact is that we have a desi youth. We should stop saying what they want and we should give them something different like qawalis, shayaris and all," said Kohli who has adapted in "Teri Meri Kahaani".
Shahid will be seen reciting poems in the movie, and the filmmaker said that "the shayari that Shahid delivers has all been written and Shahid has done a wonderful job. Both Shahid and Priyanka look absolutely stunning and the result is there for everyone. Acting is all about reacting and both of them have done an outstanding job."
In a period film, sets are important and Kohli gives credit to his art director Muneesh Sappal for creating perfect backgrounds to shoot romance in various time periods.
"My art director (and his team) has done a terrific job. They played a vital role in recreating the era. They created Bombay in the 1960's when we had very less traffic. It is fascinating to go back and see when there were no cell phones how people used to communicate. All these things make | 512 |

Q:
From column of lists to a data frame in a tidyverse way in r
PROBLEM:
I want to convert a column from named lists into a data frame. However now there are only 9 items, problems will appear in other cases when variables in lists are up to 120. So, is there an efficient way to extract all the variables in inside the lists without calling all one by one?
HERE IS THE DPUT FOR FOO:
foo <- structure(list(column_a = c("a", "b", "c"), column_b = list(list(country_code = "US", url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/id/c3f37afa9efcf94b.json", country = "United States", place_type = "city", bounding_box = list(type = "Polygon", coordinates = structure(c(-97.928935, -97.928935, -97.580513, -97.580513, 30.127892, 30.518799, 30.518799, 30.127892), .Dim = c(1L, 4L, 2L))), full_name = "Austin, TX", attributes = structure(list(), .Names = character(0)), id = "c3f37afa9efcf94b", name = "Austin"), list(country_code = "UG", url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/id/0092409a629e836c.json", country = "Uganda", place_type = "admin", bounding_box = list(type = "Polygon", coordinates = structure(c(32.192297, 32.192297, 32.683699, 32.683699, -0.147789, 0.585072, 0.585072, -0.147789), .Dim = c(1L, 4L, 2L))), full_name = "Wakiso, Uganda", attributes = structure(list(), .Names = character(0)), id = "0092409a629e836c", name = "Wakiso"), list(country_code = "US", url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/id/080b8d8543aab399.json", country = "United States", place_type = "city", bounding_box = list(type = "Polygon", coordinates = structure(c(-93.399443, -93.399443, -93.203245, -93.203245, 44.78542, 44.863519, 44.863519, 44.78542), .Dim = c(1L, 4L, 2L))), full_name = "Bloomington, MN", attributes = structure(list(), .Names = character(0)), id = "080b8d8543aab399", name = "Bloomington"))), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"), row.names = c(NA, -3L))
DATA:
My foo data frame has two columns column_a with letters and column_b which is a column of lists. Each list has 9 items.
library(tidyverse)
foo
#> # A tibble: 3 x 2
#> column_a column_b
#> <chr> <list>
#> 1 a <named list [9]>
#> 2 b <named list [9]>
#> 3 c <named list [9]>
str(foo[1,])
#> Classes 'tbl_df', 'tbl' and 'data.frame': 1 obs. of 2 variables:
#> $ column_a: chr "a"
#> $ column_b:List of 1
#> ..$ :List of 9
#> .. ..$ country_code: chr "US"
#> .. ..$ url : chr "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/id/c3f37afa9efcf94b.json"

#> .. ..$ attributes : Named list()
#> .. ..$ id : chr "c3f37afa9efcf94b"

Edit: Geezus nowhere did I say I was a good swimmer. It has taken me years to be able do what I can now. I said “okay.” I can dive below the surface. I can swim from one side of most pools to another. Thank you for all of the comments telling me I can’t swim. The best way I can explain the feeling is like a panic attack. *in the moment* I forget everything. I probably wouldn’t be able to tell you what color my shorts are or what country I’m in. That’s the type of fear I get. My only thought is “get me out, get me out, get me out, get me out.” Is it irrational? Of fucking course, because if I were just swimming casually I could likely swim in the exact same spot just fine.
does anyone know how effective is Breton passive Spell resistance? I think about character which will be good for PvP (possibly Templar) Which will be focused on Health and Magicka but I am not sure which race to pick. Breton looks nice because of this passive, but doesnt provide any bonus to health and 3% from mana is hard to notice. So the interesting thing is this "spell resistance" bonus and I wonder if its worth or not compared to bonus to health etc.

goodreads | An exciting read
This is the first book I have read by J. D. Horn and I'm glad I got it. The characters are complex and enjoyable to read about and the plot was very well thought out. The story flows well from start to finish and leaves you wanting more. The book leads you to the start of a powerful story with the next books in this series. A must read for anyone who enjoys a paranormal book that incorporates romance, murder, mystery, and more.
Romance, drama, and a whole lot of adventure come together in a magical land more vivid than Willy Wonka's fanciest factory. Beautiful descriptions, lovable characters and a rich, vibrant story. This book has it all.
** spoiler alert **
Nora Armstrong has just arrived in New York and is looking to start her own jewelry-making business. She's staying with her cousin, Harlan, who she has no idea is gay until she meets his live-in boyfriend. Harlan picks her up and greets her with the idea that he's volunteered her as arm candy to an aristocratic British man named David Waite in exchange for what he hopes is David's business for Harlan's event-planning enterprise. David is a fundraiser with many wealthy clients. David is cold and aloof, determined to keep Nora at arm's length. Nora is forced by Harlan to pretend to be a glamorous model. Nora begins to fall for David and hates living a lie.
There were parts of this book that I loved - the conversations between Nora and David, David's friend Alec's mother, Harlan and his boyfriend, and the romantic proposal at the end. Unfortunately what spoiled it for me were the scenes that made me feel uneasy. When a woman says "no", it doesn't mean try harder to subdue her and rip her clothes off. Sorry, that's not romance, it's rape. If the aim was to portray that this ultra-civilized man had a darker, more animal-like side, it could have been handled in a different way. Having him try to force himself on a virgin was distasteful, especially given what happened to her when she ran from him. Could the poor girl have had a shittier evening? I wish those scenes had been left out.
One of the best children's books I've heard in awhile. My kids and I loved the story even though sad events transpire. Excellent story that explores accepting those different from you, what a family is, and helping others for the common good.

s2orc | the mechanisms governing microbiome assembly and composition are largely unknown. This is different for macroscopic communities, thanks to the application of niche (Holt, 2009;Leibold, 1995;Whittaker et al., 1973) and trait-based theories, which might also provide a useful framework for studying the ecology and evolution of microbiomes in metaorganisms (Kopac and Klassen, 2016).
The niche concept is one of the core concepts in ecology and has been rediscovered by modern ecology for explaining biodiversity and species coexistence patterns (Pocheville, 2015). The nichebased theory states that an ecological community is made up of a limited number of niches, each occupied by a single species. Hutchinson (Hutchinson, 1957) defined the fundamental niche as the needs of a species for it to maintain a positive population growth rate, disregarding biotic interactions (Hutchinson, 1957;Pearman et al., 2008). The fundamental niche therefore represents an idealized situation exclusive of interspecific interactions. The effect of biological interactions is taken into account in the definition of the realized niche (Hutchinson, 1957). This is the portion of the fundamental niche in which a species has a positive population growth rate, despite the constraining effects of biological interactions, such as interspecific competition (Hutchinson, 1957;Pearman et al., 2008).
In the last two decades, the shift from taxonomy to function by using trait-based approaches has provided a detailed understanding of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (Louca et al., 2018). Recently, this framework is also being used by microbial ecologists to study microbial biogeography (Green et al., 2008), or to unravel microbial biodiversityecosystem functioning relationships (Krause et al., 2014). Further, this approach allows studying microbiomes in the light of coexisting traits/functions rather than of coexisting microbes (Martiny et al., 2015). A recent study successfully used this approach and analyzed trait-based patterns to understand the mechanisms of community assembly and succession of the infant gut microbiome (Guittar et al., 2019). Microbial traits cover a range of phenotypic characteristics, for example organic phosphate utilization, bacteriophage host range, cellulose degradation, biofilm formation, nitrogen fixation, methanogenesis, and salinity preference (Martiny et al., 2015). Potential microbial traits can be measured directly by laboratory assays (as in this study) or can be indirectly inferred based on genomic information.
The aim of this study is to apply the niche concept and trait-based theory to the metaorganism Hydra vulgaris (strain AEP) to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the microbial community composition. We thus specifically extend the niche-assembly perspective, classically used for assessing species assembly and coexistence in abiotic environments, to a host-associated microbiome, thus a biotic environment.
The freshwater polyp Hydra and its microbiome have become a valuable model system for metaorganism research as it provides a bridge between the simplicity of synthetic communities and the complex mouse model (Deines and Bosch, 2016). The ectoderm is covered by a multi-layered glycocalyx, which is the habitat for a highly stable, low complexity, species specific microbiome (Bosch, 2013;Deines et al., 2017;Franzenburg et al., 2013), with a carrying capacity of 1.7 × 10 5 CFUs per Hydra (Deines et al., 2020). The six most abundant bacterial colonizers of Hydra vulgaris (strain AEP) make up between 84 and 90% of | 512 |
amazon | well too. Mainly why we got it. Nice product
O,K. because I thought it would have Photographs and it did not, it made a nice gift though.
BEST GARLIC PRESS EVER. It's awesome and it works and it's easy and it's not a piece of crap like all the other ones we bought that break or squirt garlic out the back or leave half the clove in the press.
This little charger is compact, fast, and it's Anker! I knew I couldn't go wrong. People who get in my car and use this are astonished at how fast it charges their phone. I've been spoiled I guess but i still like to hear the remarks they make. This is a great little charger that works like nothing else. It's an Anker, what else can I say?
This is not a continuation of his first 2 books, which were excellent. This is entirely different, though also with a lot of techno-trouble. Terrific story with only one technical aspect not accounted for (that I could see) and I won't nitpick. Fantastic, but plausible--just the way I like it. Suarez is worthy of the 'Crichton' label!
I had the black one, ordered this immediately after being quite satisfied, but this unit never took a charge. Waste.
my soap doesn't stay on this stupid thing. Its just a patch of slippery sadness, i put my bar of soap on it and it just slides right off. Its plastic and flat so it just doesn't do anything, might as well put my soap on the actual sink at this point. my idiot butt still uses it but i get mad at it all the time. practical for decorative soap purposes maybe but i like to actually use my soap.
I've used this cleanser for over a year. I won't use anything else.
Gave one to each family and they all loved it. I read it to them both nights they all slept here.
This is a must see for anyone who has played the original Legend of Zelda. It's offensive and in your face laugh out loud entertainment.
Great cable and even better price. It's good to have a spare or two.
Made the shower much safer. Also easy to wash
EXCELLENT CHAPTERS WITH GRADUAL ADDITION OF NEW WORKS AND GRAMMAR. NOT TOO COMPILCATED FOR THE BEGINNER.
perfect for protecting my new vinyl floors!! Big enough so I can roll around & access 2 computers & 2 printers!
Worked so I'm happy so far.
This is an urban fantasy/mystery novel with a mundane protagonist encountering the seedy supernatural underbelly of Los Angeles.
Every time I thought I knew where the story was going the author would flip, as neatly as a pancake.

Excellent Book, would highly recommend it! Can't wait to read more of Lynn Austin's books!

This is absolutely Wonderful, Super Soft leather, belt loops and hasp perfect, magnetic catch works Great, it also protects phone better then anything I've owned in the past without needing a giant monster case
Product quality exceeds my expectations and I will be ordering another when they are back in stock! P.S. they are not blue , they are soft black leather......your camera will be happy you chose this product.
buy 2 there so nice
Far brighter light than I had hoped. Made from strong metal, you twist to turn on/off so there won't be any accidental "on"s & drained batteries. So good I bought a few more for family & friends. Best keychain light I've ever had.
Friend loved them!
Descent. Set up i got what i could afford to learn with. I know its going to be fun either way.
As someone who works with children and teens who have brain injuries, this was a compelling read!
This stuff is great for lotion or cooking. Not sure what else to say about it. I love how it smells.
As described, I trust Merrell shoes.
Good quality and nice color.
The mount I received was not as described and was a completely different type of mount!
Great quality, great price, with the single or double size there is a lot of options as far as layout on waste material
Good romance story. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
Great item, got it quick like it fine. Nicely made item does the job. Welcome addition to my collection. Thanks.
Marks the weapon. Not happy
Book 7 down, and this one was a roller coaster. If only I had known how appropriate the title would turn out to be.
In Reaper's Gale, we hop back to the continent of Lether. This leads to an initial slowdown while we explore some of the moving pieces there, but things really kick off when some unexpected guests arrive on the continent. This was especially exciting for me because it just so happens to be my favorite plot line.
Similar to Book 6, we see a convergence of plot lines here. 90% of the plot lines (totally didn't pull that percentage out of my ass) are represented here, so we get the satisfaction of seeing how these plot lines we have been reading about for several books have come together and affected each other. This one has a little bit of everything, political maneuvering, close combat warfare, exploration of magic & warrens, brutal battles, and heart-wrenching sub stories. I think this and The Bonehunters have shown a little of everything that Malazan has to offer, and they are both fantastic reads.

ao3 | twisted so his legs were on one side of the bench as the smallest of the turtles finished his saunter closer. "Raph, I want ice cream and we're all out." He frowned, thinking about the weather, "It's winter." "I want ice cream." Came the repeating statement. "We got popsicles." He supplied helpfully. "I want ice cream." Again. "It's ten o'clock at night." He complained. "I want ice cream." There was no changing his mind. "Shit, bro." He muttered, teasingly, "You're like a pregnant woman with cravings." Mikey's big blue eyes gazed at him imploringly, purposefully ignoring the comment that could've caused a spat. "Big Gay Ice Cream Shop on 7th is still open." Of course, Mikey would wanna go to that place. "Can't we just go to the bodega?" He asked, begrudgingly giving into the idea that they were getting ice cream tonight. Mikey pouted, whine in voice and big blue eyes, "No, I need cones, Raphie." He was about to add that the bodega probably had some type of cones, before the pleaded specification. "Waffle cones." That ruled out the usual sketchy bodega. Mikey leaned on his closed legs, with all the powers a baby brother possessed over an elder, "Please."
They found themselves at the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, which was so oddly named, so of course his youngest brother liked it, bundled up in winter clothes to hide their identities. He let Mikey order first: a Monday Sundae with a nutella lined waffle cone, twist ice cream, with sea salt, some sort of caramel sauce and whipped cream. Then he got a Mexican Affogayto, hoping the cayenne, and spicy hot chocolate would balance out the vanilla ice cream and whipped cream coldness. They got a coffee float for Donnie and a Chai milkshake for Leo, since the cold would keep the mixtures good for the trip home plus those were easier to carry than cones. They excited the store quickly, hopping to the rooftops before the trek into the sewers. He licked his ice cream wondering whether or not to talk but he had the feeling that something needed to be said. "Why the want for ice cream?" Mikey shrugged, licking, "Just felt like it." He probably didn't want to know the answer, but he asked anyway, "Why waffles cones?" A shrug, "They're better for single servings, they're special. Sugar cones are fine for ice cream parties at home since they're cheap and come in bulk." He snorted slightly, "Since when have we ever had a ice cream party?" Mikey giggled slightly, "If we did, I would be fine with sugar cones." It was probably better to leave it all at that cheerful note, but he never was as smart as Donnie or Leo. "But why ice cream?" Mikey sighed softly, pausing in eating to reply, "I don't know Raph, I just wanted it." He understood that but still there was an aching question burning in his throat, "And this has nothin to do with…?" "No." Came the flat reply. They went back to eating their ice cream | 512 |

“No, don’t need anything,” Finn said, approaching her desk. He didn’t take a seat in either of the chairs. “I just wanted to see about you.”
Rey tilted her head to the side. “How do you mean? I’m finishing up my paperwork from the mission if that’s what you’re asking.”
He shook his head and scanned her face quickly. “That’s not what I mean.” His smile was gone, and he seemed a little uncomfortable. “How are you doing, Rey?”
Rey smiled again, but felt put off by his nervous energy. “I’m fine, Finn. What’s this about? You’re acting strangely.”
Finn reached up and scratched the back of his neck, his eyes turning towards the floor. “You’re sure you’re okay?”
Her smile fell from her face at his words. “Finn, what is it? I don’t understand.”
He sighed and looked up to meet her eyes again. “Rey, you’ve been acting weird for weeks now.”
Rey was taken aback. “ _I’m_ acting weird? Finn, you’re the one who came into my office looking like you’ve just seen a ghost.”
“That’s true,” he admitted. “But that doesn’t change the fact that you’ve been acting weird for weeks.”
“And how have I been acting weird?” Rey demanded.
Finn bit his lip and exhaled before speaking. “You’ve been way more social than usual. Every time there’s a conversation around here, you’re in it. You keep on saying you want to meet up with people outside of work, which you hardly ever did before. You’re even laughing louder than usual, like you’re over compensating.”
Rey scoffed at his remarks. “So what? It’s a crime to hang out with people in the office? Come on, Finn.”
Finn sighed and seemed to think over his next words. “Jessika said she heard you crying in the bathroom.”
Rey’s shoulders deflated at that comment.
“Twice,” he added.
Rey bit her lip and fell back into her chair. She stared at her fingernails, not wanting to meet Finn’s eyes. She felt too embarrassed to look at him. She had escaped to the bathroom to cry a few times over the last few weeks, but she had no idea anyone had heard her.
“I might not have said anything about this, but when Jessika told me that, I got worried,” Finn said, and Rey could hear genuine concern in his voice. “You don’t have to tell me what’s going on. That’s your business. I just wanted to let you know I’m here for you if you need anything.”
Rey didn’t say anything or look up. She just continued to stare at her nails. It was silent for almost a minute before she heard Finn turn around and head for the door, apparently having had enough of this discomfort. Rey gritted her teeth and considered just letting him leave. That would probably be for the best, but still, he had come to her office offering her his help, and Rey so desperately needed to talk to someone. This was the thought that compelled her to say something.

amazon | so you're forced to use weapons you don't care for. And then you take a bunker and because of that damn aiming lag you get beaten to death by a guy behind you that was never seen because the view is so narrow. BTW once you've killed four KZ2 enemies, you've killed them all. They all have the same red glowing eyes, dialogue, and aesthetics borrowed from the Kerberos Panzer Corps.
MULTILPLAYER works well, it does, the maps are designed well. But the game modes are basically copies of COD4s with gameplay mechanics that don't mesh well with the game types. S&D has constant respawns, so the planting site becomes a grenade spam basin. And again, the game is geared for thoughtful movement forward and shooting from cover, but MP removes it! Imagine if Gears of War 2 didn't have cover in multiplayer? It's insane! The entire shooting mechanic the game is based on is removed.
Not to mention this is the only game that has ever frozen my PS3. The reviews on this are incredibly dishonest, because let's face it: us PS3 owners really deserve some great exclusive games. To those people I say try the overlooked MGS4 because story aside which you can skip if you must has incredible shooting mechanics - you don't have to play it stealthy. And it is prettier, and less buggy, and less strange and bland. COD4 has most of the gametypes of this game with a lot more fluid mechanics.

They likely have not, and surely won't for a president making the kinds of noises about tariffs that Trump is, at least as the Fed is currently constituted.
BIG TALK
After the shock of his election it is only natural that people, in the markets and in the Fed, will take Trump's bombast a bit too seriously. That's not to say that he won't try to do what he says but a much higher discount than normal should be applied both to his intentions and his power.
Here is a bit of context, courtesy of David Rosenberg, economist at Gluskin Sheff: the core goods group of the consumer price index will likely turn in its tenth straight month of year-on-year decline when December's figures come out.
"It will be interesting to see how Trump on his own is going to pull the inflation rabbit out of the hat - how he will do what seven years of large-scale money supply growth from Bernanke and then Yellen could not," Rosenberg wrote to clients.
"So the markets seem to think that Trump will manage to bully his way to get what he wants, but history tells us that even the most effective presidents don't get more than 60 percent of the campaign planks through."
Getting Congress to go along with corporate tax cuts and stimulus spending which will take debt-to-GDP above 100 percent is a difficult task. And if we've learned anything in this past eight years it is that expanding debt has, above a certain level, diminishing returns on economic growth. Trump can't change that.
If we discount the likelihood of expansionary fiscal policy then we're left with the parts of the Trump manifesto which tend to cause inflation but stifle growth: immigration controls and tariffs.
On both scores there may be more Twitter grandstanding, aimed at individual companies and driving the short-term news cycle, than actual policy changes.
And the Fed, of course, faces its own communications challenge. It needs to send a signal that it stands ready to tighten more rapidly, but it will be operating in an environment with more noise than at any time since 2008.
Markets, up until recent days, have been big believers of Trump's impact: driving interest rates up and discounting higher corporate profits.
Whatever hawkish gestures it feels it must make, the Fed should treat an unprecedented president with unusually high skepticism.
Cheer up, much of it may never happen. (Editing by James Dalgleish)

ao3 | about outing him accidentally.
He should have expected it, really. Nothing could ever go correctly for Phil, it seemed.
His biological sex always found a new way to fuck things up.
The night had been going great. They had played a couple of games, filmed two videos - one for each of their channels - and ordered a pizza. They stayed up talking until eleven, eventually realizing that it was Sunday night and tomorrow was a school night, and getting in bed.
Phil could tell something was off as soon as he stretched out on the bed beside Dan. He assumed it was just a regular stomach ache, maybe some gas.
He drifted off to sleep.
It was two in the morning when he awoke, his insides feeling like they were being torn out.
Oh, he knew exactly what this feeling was.
In an instant, he was fully awake, and in a complete panic. The insides of his legs were sticky with blood, and he could tell that the sheets were a little bloody.
Phil sprung out of bed, rushing to the connected bathroom to assess the situation.
His underwear was completely ruined, along with his shorts.
Phil sighed angrily, because what can he do now? Dan is basically sleeping in his blood, and he isn’t even out to him yet.
Saying something along the lines of ‘Yeah, I’m transgender and I just got my period while sleeping in a bed with you’ doesn’t seem in any way appealing, but it also seems inevitable, and Phil grits his teeth because he can’t imagine doing that with dry eyes.
Ironically, his eyes well up at the thought of crying in front of Dan, especially about this. He lets the tears fall, rolling down his cheeks and onto the small green rug on the floor.
More thoughts hit him.
Dan could be transphobic.
Dan might hate him.
Nononono.
At this point, Phil was in a total, complete state of panic, not to mention the fact that if he didn’t get a pad at some point, he was going to be in serious, serious trouble.
His body took this moment of anxiety as an opportunity to throw some cramps into the picture, and it took maybe around a minute for Phil to end up curled into himself on Dan’s bathroom floor, muffling moans of pain with his arm.
He eventually managed to get some painkillers out of the medicine cabinet. Even if there, not surprisingly, were no pads in Dan’s bathroom, there was ibuprofen.
Thank god.
Phil sat down on the toilet.
His thoughts varied from "How the fuck do I do this?" to "I can’t fucking do this."
There was a little "I have to do this" in there as well.
Seconds after, on the other side of the door, Phil faintly heard sheets rustling.
No. No, no no.
A little more rustling, then a groggy Dan gasped.
Nonononononono.
Dan flipped on the lamp, and little pattering footsteps rushed towards the bathroom.
“Phil? What's going on?” Dan whispered urgently, tapping on the bathroom door. | 512 |

Just as I was about to go look for a good mystery novel instead, I discovered something in the tech section: a scattered collection of intriguing how-to guides for making gadgets work better.
One example is the series of ExtremeTech books put out by Wiley Publishing Inc. Each volume takes a particular corner of the tech world and suggests a dozen or more do-it-yourself projects that might be fun to tackle.
ExtremeTech's "Wi-Fi Toys" ($25), for instance, supplies 15 "cool wireless projects for home, office and entertainment." Among them are instructions for building a wireless digital picture frame and creating a solar-powered wireless repeater.
Sound a little esoteric? Then check out "Geek My Ride," a book that promises to help you "build the ultimate tech rod." In no time, you'll be jacking your car into the Internet, setting up video surveillance or integrating a game console into your dashboard. Funky, eh?
Other volumes in the series include "Mac Toys," "Geek House" and "Kicking Bot: The Illustrated Guide to Building Combat Robots."
The ExtremeTech book series, by the way, is an offshoot of the quarterly magazine by the same name. The current issue has guides on building your own PC and learning to podcast your own radio show over the Internet. (For a taste, visit the website at www.extremetech.com.)
Speaking of magazines, the bookstore also stocked the latest issue of Make: Technology on Your Time. This quarterly, from O'Reilly Media Inc., is on the pricey side at $14.99 an issue (less with a subscription). But it is full of geeky do-it-yourself projects like how to build a techno-haunted house for Halloween and how to turn an old VCR into a programmable pet-feeding station.
If this still sounds a little far out, there are plenty of how-to guides for simpler projects that still could make a big difference in how well your gear works.
Several books, for example, supply step-by-step advice on setting up a wireless home network. That's a big help because, although wireless gear is pretty inexpensive these days, it can be hard to set up. "Home Networking Simplified" ($16.50) from Cisco Press and "Home Networking: This Missing Manual" ($25, O'Reilly) seemed like good bets to smooth out the process.
Several other books offer easy-to-understand advice on installing the Internet-based phone service known as Voice Over Internet Protocol, shooting digital photographs and video, and creating and publishing your own website. I also liked "101 Cool Smartphone Techniques" ($16.50, Wiley Publishing), which really does have some handy tips on using today's powerful wireless handsets.
OK, so maybe books on geek projects aren't your idea of light summer reading. But they can tweak your imagination. And on a lazy summer afternoon, that may be all the tinkering you really want to deal with.

Sango grasped the basket in her hands, outwardly cursing the reason for Inuyasha living so far from the village. Though he had never said anything in his sporadic visits to the village, she surmised it had to do with the fact that Kagome had finally decided to stay in her time. Even though the two loved each other, Kagome couldn't leave her family, and understandably so. The goodbye was a tearful time for everyone - especially Shippou - but, naturally, Inuyasha had taken it the hardest. It was soon after her departure three years ago that he moved out into the woods. She knew of where his new hut was located - he told them all it was just outside the village to the south - but only Shippou had been the one to ever see it.
She suddenly paused in her thoughts as her astute hearing picked up a faint sound behind her. Sango dropped the basket to the ground and kept her eyes steady while she turned around, looking in each direction. She heard the sound again, and this time threw Hiraikotsu in the direction, watching intently as it cut through the trees and foliage, but hit nothing before coming back to her.
"Hmm," Sango kept her eyes on the trees for a few more moments before picking up the basket and wearily going on her way. Though, if she kept her eyes trained on that spot for just a few more seconds, she would have seen the sharp blue eyes that stared at her.
He watched as she trudged the grassy forest looking ridiculous in that tattered reddish cloak. He didn't like it one bit. Not only did it make her stick out like a sore thumb for any youkai lurking in the woods - himself included - but it was long enough to hide her barely concealed curves. Oh how he wanted to just rip it off her.
On second thought… it was probably a good idea that she wore the cloak, since the sight of her in that suit had almost cost him his life during the final battle. How could Inuyasha and Miroku fight without the urge to paw at her person? - er, maybe he should remove Miroku from that question. If there was anything he remembered from the monk, it was the amorous advances toward the taijiya before him.

I can only speak as someone who's previously worked in a call center (Verizon, of all companies) before... I'm not sure if the person you were speaking to gets commission or is encouraged to do this sort of thing or not, but I've encountered my share of over-the-phone CS agents who were trying to be "helpful" and not realizing they were doing something I or another customer didn't want them to do. Back when I was a supervisor, I used to have to discipline agents left and right because I'd be listening in on a call and catch them attempting to troubleshoot someone's modem, which was WELL outside of our support boundaries. I'd tell them over and over again... I get trying to be helpful, but doing something you shouldn't be doing is how you break stuff, and then we're the ones at fault. Call back and ask to speak to a supervisor. They can likely fix it, and if they're in the same call center they can also look up which agent took the call and have a chat with them about making account changes without the customer's permission. (Seriously, that's a talk that needs to be had if someone's doing that.)

Hi,
I've made a PHP script that sends out an automatic email through my servers
cron system, it works well, but I thought I'd try to do some HTML email to
get things to line up a little better.
To do so, I added the following line in my mail() command: -Type:
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
When I check the messages sent out with Eudora, the HTML email comes in
perfectly. However, when I check with Outlook Express 6 - I get the actual
HTML code rather than the nicely formatted email that I had created.
Should I be using another line in my mail() command? I've recieved HTML
email before with Outlook Express on my machine without changing any
settings at all. Also, I had sent an email from my script to hotmail and
the HTML email worked fine there too.
Any thoughts?

I installed "Trusted Extensions" package, and made two zones named "public", "internal".
After that, I tried ping from "public" to other hosts( ex. winXP or Linux).
but I couldn't get any reply. When I tried to boot mozilla, situation was same.
mozilla cannot connect any internet host.
I think "public" cannot establish any network connection. How can I do that?
I tried four cases, and I can establish network connection.
1) SSH from remote host( winXP) to global zone.
2) Ping from global zone to any arbitrary remote host.
3) SSH from remote host( winXP) to "public" zone
4) SSH from "internal" to "public"
( To achieve these 4 cases, I wrote some configuration to /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb, etc.)
So, only I cannot do is establishing connection from a zone to other remote host.
What am I missing?

realnews | ending with the fact that during the pre-election race, the Armenian lobby made a wrong bet, hysterically supporting the candidate from the Democratic party.
Another big problem for the Armenian lobby of the United States was the fact that almost all members of the Armenia-US friendship group in the Congress spoke out for tougher sanctions against Russia and for the investigation of Russia’s interference in the US elections.
It should be understood that Russia is of great importance for Armenia, and the Armenian diaspora is well aware of this. Armenia is Russia’s outpost in the South Caucasus, for which it still receives significant financial injections. And in return for this, the Armenian lobby often paid to Moscow in its own way – acting as a hidden lobbyist for Russia’s influence.
However, recently everything went wrong. Despite the fact that the congressmen, bribed by Armenian money, are ready to work in return for generous injections, the fawning of the Armenian lobby with the Kremlin didn’t affect the attitude of the congressmen towards Russia.
It is worth giving several examples of statements by pro-Armenian congressmen who are members of the Armenia-US friendship group.
For example, Representative Anna Eshoo has called for investigation into hacking ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin to help elect Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. Moreover, the pro-Armenian representative compares the “attack” on US democracy with the attack by Osama bin Laden on the US.
“Sixteen years later, our country is once again under attack, and this time from Vladimir Putin and his Russian government,” wrote Eshoo in her article published by The Mercury News.
Another pro-Armenian congresswoman, Jackie Speier, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, says that the “relationship the President and those around him have with Russia is creating an absolutely unacceptable environment.”
Anti-Russian statements of other pro-Armenian congressmen, who are members of the Armenia-US friendship group and sign the demands on US authorities not to cut financial support for Armenia, promote in every way the issue of Washington’s recognition of the so-called genocide of Armenians, aren’t good too.
Some experts in Armenia think that Russia is trying to influence the US diaspora and the congressmen lobbied by it through Armenia, but this is unlikely in the current situation, since in reality, the relations between Moscow and Washington are now better than those of the Armenian diaspora and the White House.

When I call /my-app/test/test the second method gets called and the parameters set correctly. When I call /my-app/test instead of the first method getting called I receive a HTTP 405 Method Not Found. I'm assuming it's mapping the URL to one of the other methods eg.
@DELETE
@Path("{path: [a-z0-9/\\-]*}")
public Response deleteTest(@PathParam("path") String path, @Context HttpHeaders headers);
Anyone spot what I've done wrong? Anyone got any tips for finding out which method jersey is trying to map to?
Thanks.
A:
With the 3 methods defined as above you essentially have 3 resources:
/{solution}
/{solution}/{path:[a-z0-9/\-]*}
{path: [a-z0-9/\-]*}
When Jersey matches the request to resource methods, it first determines which resource (i.e. URI pattern) it should be mapped to. The third one is the most specific one that matches the request URL, so that one is matched. Only then Jersey looks if a corresponding HTTP method is handled for that resource. This is in compliance with the JAX-RS specification - you can see the detailed description of the matching algorithm in the spec here: http://jsr311.java.net/nonav/releases/1.1/spec/spec3.html#x3-360003.7.2
So, you should think about the logical resources, have the URI templates match them and then implement the corresponding HTTP methods for these. I.e. if "/{solution}" and "/{solution}/{path:[a-z0-9/\-]*}" are logically two distinct resources, and both should support @DELETE, you should define two delete operations, one with the first template and the other one with the second URI template.
Q:
Is there a spec for nested urlencoded params[]?
At one point in history, server side languages started tweaking urlencoded parameters to add support for submitting data as arrays and key/value objects:
// key/value pairs
contact[name]=John
contact[phone]=800-555-1234
// arrays
foo[]=bar
foo[]=baz
I’m playing around with some edge cases in one library's nested parameter parsing, eg preservation of parameter order. Is there a spec that formalizes how a server should process this encoding? If not, which reference implementation introduced this syntax?
A:
Square brackets in URIs
According to RFC-3986 "Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax" using unencoded square brackets in URIs isn't allowed. Therefore it's not a HTTP standard.
A host identified by an Internet Protocol literal address, version 6 [RFC3513] or later, is distinguished by enclosing the IP literal within square brackets ("[" and "]"). This is the only place where square bracket characters are allowed in the URI syntax.
Many programming languages are using square brackets for arrays, | 512 |

Concretely, for every particle, the position in the next time point was computed as the current position plus the displacement dictated by the current velocity vector. During simulation the velocity was kept in (clipped to) the range from 2 to 6 pixels per frame. The datasets were analyzed using custom-written Matlab routines to extract Spatial-Temporal Correlation Functions from the raw images as well as from the images results of the localization process according to Eq. 1. In the latter case, the intensity is considered as 1 for r corresponding to localization and 0 elsewhere.

In analogy to the simulated datasets, the clear peak in( , ) indicate the presence of guided motion of the receptor. (Data are those published in Scarselli et al., Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012[7]).
Data AcquisitionThe live cell imaging data that were analyzed were among those published inScarselli et al. 2012[7]. Experimental setup and data aquisition parameters are described therein. Briefly, the photoactivatable fluorescent protein mEos2 was fused to the G Protein-Coupled Receptor protein ß2 (ß2-mEos2), allowing to track a sparse subset of the molecules as they diffuse on the plasma membrane by subsequent photoactivation and photobleaching cycles. Live cell imaging was performed at 50 Hz in frame transfer mode. Cardiomyocites-like cells (H9C2) were imaged in TIRF mode under low 561 nm excitation at Room Temperature under a 100 X objective and an additional 2x magnification lens yielding a pixel size of 80 nm.SMT:SMT was performed using the MOSAIC ImageJ Plugin as shown by Sbalzarini et al[8]. In the case of ß2-mEos2, trajectories longer than 5 frames were reconstructed using a linking range of 60ms (3 frames) and a displacement of 0.24 µm (~2 pixels). Mean Square Displacement was calculated at each time value as the average of the MSDs from all the measured trajectories.iMSD analysis:The STICS correlation function was measured as:where ( , ) represents the intensity measured in the position and at time t and 〈… 〉 represents the average of space and time. In the classical iMSD approach, ( , ) is fitted to a Gaussian function defined as:where ( ) represents the amplitude of the correlation function, ∞ ( ) an offset usually necessary to take into account for mis-normalization of the correlation function [9, 10], and ( ) 2 represents the iMSD and contains the contribution of particle motion and instrumental point spread function. In particular, it can be generically expressed as ( ) 2 = ( ) + 0 2 where 0 2 is the PSF waist. However, independently on the particle motion, in diluted conditions, the spatio-temporal correlation function can be expressed as the spatial convolution of ( , ), the probability | 512 |

The end of the book seems a bit anticlimactic, as their adventure ends sort of to a nothingness, with DuPrau feeling a look to the future as sufficient hope for the success of mankind and their moral triumphs. Otherwise, THE DIAMOND OF DARKHOLD should not disappoint avid readers of the series. In order to grasp full meaning of the story, I would highly suggest reading at least books one and two (three is a prequel to the first and has little overlap).
Overall, Duprau succeeds in this installment and I would recommend it to those who have enjoyed the first of her books.
Review forthcoming on http://a-reader-lives-a-thousand-live...
I received a copy of Touch of the Goddess in exchange for my review.
Stephen wants to escape his ghosts, and to do that he has turned to alcohol. Drunk in the middle of space, the last thing he expects is for a beautiful woman to suddenly appear on the bridge of his ship, saying that he crashed into her. Maria isn't just a beautiful woman though, in fact she is what humans would refer to as a Goddess, and for some reason she can't help but find herself attracted to Stephen, even in his drunken form. The two quickly form a bond, and while travelling around the universe they encounter problems with slavers, and later with a virus that is raging on the planet. All the while, Maria's Goddess and Human sides are battling it out for dominance, particularly when it comes to her feelings for Stephen.
Loved this book, there was a good mix of science fiction, romance and fantasy that left me on the edge of my seat whilst reading. The book is probably suitable for an older YA audience, there is no sex scenes that are described, but sex is mentioned, along with alcoholism and a short look at trafficking. There are also some quite violent scenes, including when Maria got her Goddess on.
I loved Maria as a character. Despite the fact that she was a Goddess, and was way overpowered for being one, she still had some insecurities, particularly related to Stephen and other beautiful women. I thought that that added another dimension to her which made her much more approachable as a character.
There were hints in this book of the idea of destiny, and I'm thinking that that could lead to an interesting arc in the future books, which I am excited to read for the record. Though I didn't think that the idea of fate or destiny was overwhelming like it can be in some books.
This is yet another book that has made me excited for the sequel!

I'm curious if their waxes works on fine hair because i saw a lot of good reviews about their products and i really want to buy the 3 pack offer. I also tried HdF Quicksand and it doesn't work very well for me all the time. I have some days when i use Quicksand and my hair get a strong hold and looks perfect and some days when it doesn't hold my hair at all and it falls down like i have no product in it. Also, do you know any products or any natural treatments that help fine hair to get more coarse? Thanks!
Are promotions such as Shock and Drill dependent on the terrain your unit is in or the terrain the enemy unit is in? Accuracy and Barrage both specify that the bonus is dependent on the terrain the enemy is in, but the same is not true for Shock and Drill.

**I'm an adult seeking fantasy roleplay with other adults** I bet you love the feeling of being bent over, your thick ass being plowed into from behind. Every thrust making your juicy curves ripple in reply from the deep fucking your pussy's getting. But what if that fucking was coming from a boy under 18 years old? What matters more? The age of the cock inside you, or the fact not only is it the biggest you've ever had, but it's the best lay of your life as well. I think we both know the answer... I'm looking to play anywhere from 10-16, packing a 8+ inch cock (We can adjust exactly the size and girth to what you're craving to play with). My partner playing as a woman anywhere from 18-50. You could be slutty, forward, and aggressive, taking advantage and dub-con your way into my pants. We could both evenly seduce each other. Or I can be a hormonal and horny little pervert. Groping and dry - humping until you finally break down and spread your legs. Incest, family friend, teacher, doctor, coach. The dynamics are endless. We can explore exactly what sort of setup, and pairing would work best. Here's my kinks: https://i.imgur.com/Iav6ehP.png Hope to hear from you!

"G-God Hyunjin-! P-Please l-let me use you, I want t-to ride you, please, please,--" Han rocked back and forth on his leg, his own thighs trembling as they supported his small weight. They were small but strong, skin was tan and Hyunjin loved to caress it. Jisung's thighs were a lot smaller than his own muscly ones but he loved them regardless, when they wrapped around his head or waist they always felt so soft against his skin. They looked so wonderful now, on the sides of his own, a lot bigger one. Hyunjin could feel everything, the dragging of his balls, his leaking head when it buckled against his thigh, the pre-cum that soaked Han's shorts. And he could feel Han's warm and quick breath on his face. It made him hot but he didn't want to pull away. Jisung's eyes were fluttering close and his eyebrows were high on his forehead, the tiniest of whimpers leaving his lips. He definitely didn't expect that, Han was usually so loud, outside and inside the bedroom, he was just like that. But now -maybe because he was still hazy from his nap or because it was late and too quiet- he just had his head back and his throat held all of the noises Hyunjin loved so much. Hearing them was like a blessing, but this right here, the despiration and how needy he looked, this Han will definitely be Hyunjin's favourite. He has to let his baby ride his thigh again.
"You're so pretty, Hannie. Such a good boy." Hyunjin caresed up his back, mapping the familiar muscles and bits of chub, until he reached his nipples. He rubbed, rolled them, making Han sound even more wrecked and he speed up with his humping. He let out a cry, his first loud noise of the night when Hyunjin started kissing his neck at the same time he pinched his nipple. Sensitive, as always. Hyunjin smirked. So tempting to get teased. "Don't come, not until I say you can." He whispered in his ear, nibbling on his ear lobe. Despite the fact that Han cried out a breathy "Yes, hyung!" he only speed up. It was as if he didn't even listen to the words he said, he just listened to his voice to get more turned on.
Hyunjin didn't really enjoy when Han used him like his toy, unfortunately the younger did it pretty often. But at least Hyunjin could always pay him back for it, edging and punishing the younger until he was squirming crying mess under him, begging to get filled.
Han whines when Hyunjin stopped his hips and he looked down at him with broken glare. "I wasn't going to, I just wanted a little more before-" "Baby boy shut up." Hyunjin lifted Han off of his lap, placing him on the couch next | 512 |

reddit | for night. Both are oil free. I think SPF is really important when you are trying to get rid of acne because some acne medications can make your skin extra sensitive to sunlight, and also SPF will keep any scars from getting darker. Ask your dermatologist about this if you are concerned. Another great product I use is RevivaLabs 10% Glycolic acid cream. I only use this to spot treat at MOST every other night as it is quite strong and can be too irritating to use every night. This has helped tremendously in reducing cystic acne lesions and fading hyperpigmentation and scarring because it is a chemical exfoliant. I used to use Retin-A but I couldn't stand the flakiness that came with it. As with anything, ask your derm before adding something to the mix. These are things that have worked for me personally, and I understand that everyone's skin has different reactions to different things. I hope this was helpful! Good luck!

>>If you're looking for verifiable truth claims, you're never going to find them. I'm not. I'm just looking for a religion that doesn't make claims that are totally blatantly wrong (like the LDS church). For example, I'm totally fine with the fact that the Bible is mostly unverifiable, although I am happier knowing that Christ was a factual person who walked on this earth than I would have been not knowing that. But still, it's okay for me that the same is not true of Abraham. >>You say you want to follow scripture rather than feelings, but which scripture? I don't care as long as it works for me. I just don't want a religion that, like some of the more liberal strands of Judaism and Christianity that I have followed, doesn't even mention scripture in its worship service, much less try to understand it and apply God's law. >>If not the Bible, then what? I don't know. It seems like a lot of religions have scriptures that in their view supplement some or all of the bible. (Mormon, Islam, Christian Science). It doesn't matter that much to me. >>I think maybe you really might find the most satisfaction just being observant to Judaism. I've tried that.

ao3 | Heart suddenly pounding, he shoved his fist into his pocket.
Terry turned to him in the dark quiet and there they were, her brown eyes as open and vulnerable as he’d ever seen them. “Do you think doing the wrong thing can ever be right, Tommy?” She whispered.
In his pocket, Gregson’s hand opened and he let the ring tumble from his grasp. It felt heavier than it had any right to. He swallowed once before speaking. “Yes.”
She nodded shakily. “Okay. I’m-“
From the other end of the two-sided mirror, Crewes’ voice startled them both, interrupting her with an angry yell. “Either charge me or let me the hell out of here!”
D’Amico held his gaze for a second more, and then swept past him before he could think to ask her to finish her sentence. “Right. Let’s go nail this asshole.”

Later- the next time they were alone together- he had made his move, leaned in for the expected kiss that she had unexpectedly rebuffed. Oddly enough, whatever confusion he had felt at her rejection had only melted into relief, a relief that only doubled with their lucky break in the case.
And just like that, everything was right in Gregson’s world again- his ring safe on his finger, and the criminal behind bars.

Gus sought out his hand, clutching it tightly. Justin squeezed it back to show he returned whatever feeling Gus was trying to communicate.
“Last night,” he started saying. “I was pretty sure eighteen years of friendship went out the window just like that.”

“But then I saw you in school and it looked like you hadn’tslept all night. I knew that you felt terrible.”
Justin bit his tongue so he wouldn’t tell Gus exactly why he hadn’t slept. Brian had kept him distracted for most of the night, but once Brian fell asleep, Justin hadsneaked out and went home, guilt eating at his gut.

“But I deserve it,” Justin mumbled.

Next evening, Dia went over to Hanamaru's. She was wracked with nerves over the two of them being alone. Whenever they were in the same place, there was always somebody else there. For the first time, that would not be the case, since Hanamaru had mentioned that her parents wouldn't be there that night. What if she did something weird? She couldn't allow herself to spend all night thinking of her lewd thoughts. Hanamaru didn't deserve that.
When Hanamaru answered the door to let Dia in, she was only wearing a tight-fitting tank top and a pair of shorts: very casual wear. It took all of her willpower not to let her jaw drop at the sight. Was it fair for Hanamaru to look so damn attractive? Sure, she wasn't as busty as Mari, but the two weren't all that far off. Plus, she wasn't used to seeing either of them in such attire, so the cleavage was rather noticeable. She had to divert some of that willpower to form eye contact.
"Come in, zura." Hanamaru smiled and let Dia in, even standing there patiently so that Dia could gather her wayward thoughts and actually step into the house. After closing the door, Hanamaru led Dia to her room. A simple walk was made tougher because Dia just couldn't take her eyes off of Hanamaru's ass in those tiny shorts. It was unbelievable how someone so tiny could be so... curvy. Cute and curvy. To her embarrassment, she could feel herself growing wet already.
Her utter refusal to pay attention caused her to not notice that Hanamaru had stopped at the entrance to her room, so Dia bumped right into her back. Caught off guard, she shot her arms out without thinking, and she found herself latching onto Hanamaru. Suddenly giving her an impromptu hug from behind, she began to blush furiously. Their inadvertent contact felt so warm, and so many of her shameful thoughts were exploding in her brain.
"Zura?" Hanamaru looked up at Dia, confused about the explosion of red on her face. "Is something wrong, Dia?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all!" Dia jumped back, brushing her hands against Hanamaru's chest. God, they were so big... What the hell was she thinking? "I just need to wash up!" Before Hanamaru could say anything, Dia rushed off. Of course, she didn't know the layout of the house, but like an idiot she'd ran off, and she certainly couldn't come back without at least seeming like she'd washed up. Nothing could wash the sin from her mind, though.
She did find the bathroom at least, so she went in and locked the door. Turning on the sink, she splashed her face with water and stared at herself in the mirror. How had things gone so wrong immediately? What the hell had happened to her self control? Maybe she just wasn't as good of a person as she | 512 |

You will need to get a Marauder to lvl 15 before you can get the Dragoon quests. I would highly recommend doing it right away. It will give you access to more damaging abilities and make your life much easier as you lvl up. All you need to do is go to the Marauder's guild in Limsa Lominsa and start the quest line. You will get a 50% exp boost while leveling up this class so that should help things along. Focus on any low lvl quest in the area you may have skipped, fates, and leaves. Just make sure you do the lvl 15 Marauder class quest before you start working on the Dragoon stuff.

There have been many criticisms over the years, with Newsweek noting that the column was sometimes disparaged as “Errors & No Facts,” and The Wall Street Journal criticizing its strident view and propensity to promote jobs for friends. David Stockman, Reagan’s budget director, said that Novak could be so depended on to convey his messages that he used the column as his “bulletin board.”
But Novak has admirers as well, including other reporters who watched him spend years slogging through the backwater political precincts all over the country, talking with voters, doing informal polling, and interviewing the foot soldiers in thousands of campaigns. He’s got an impressive record of accurate predictions for House and Senate races that stretches back to the sixties. And many of the people who later became important sources at his Washington lunches—including people as different in their politics as Les Aspin and Karl Rove—were people he first cultivated while doing street-level reporting in Wisconsin and Texas and everywhere else in America.
There’s a kind of reporting that’s uniquely prized in the capital that focuses less on the merits of an issue than on the politics that often trump it; that takes early note of whose star is rising and whose stock is falling; that reveals signs that alliances are fraying and that cabals are forming. Evans and Novak became masters of this genre, and it became required reading throughout official Washington, from the Oval Office right down to the worker-bee cubicles in the cellars of the bureaucracy.
That happened with the help of sources too numerous to list here, although they included Colin Powell, Daniel Moynihan, Barry Goldwater, Russell Long, Wilbur Mills, Gene McCarthy, Melvin Laird, Bob Strauss, and Jack Kemp. The sources most people are interested in these days are those involved in the leak of Plame’s identity as a CIA officer, and he tells us much about his discussions with Armitage, who he says first provided it; a little about his discussions with Bill Harlow, the CIA spokesman who confirmed it; and almost nothing about his discussions with Rove, except to say that Rove told him, when asked about Plame, “Oh, you know that, too.” There was, he admits, more discussion than that, but he says that since Rove hasn’t spoken publicly about it, he hasn’t either. In short, we’re left not knowing just how much Rove told him or how strongly he encouraged him to write it.
While Novak both begins and ends his book with “The Plame Affair,” as he calls it, he doesn’t actually add much to what he’s already written and said. His shorthand version is that he broke no law and endangered no intelligence operation, and that he was just trying to answer the obvious question of why the Bush administration would have sent someone like Joe Wilson, a former Clinton White House aide, on a fact-finding mission to begin with. The answer: his wife was a CIA officer and the CIA sent him.

To Anonymous - I think Ms Gay is wrong. Governments have to balance all sorts of things and the accountability demanded by taxpayers who, in many cases, have seen discretion by “management” abused to line pockets is real. That being said - remember you’re a taxpayer too, not just an employee. Speak with the mayor’s office / your city councilperson / ward representatives about the importance of your department’s mission and the need to fund it appropriately. It’s good to emphasize to your management that you feel underresourced and they may be able to get creative, but I believe you when you describe the real constraints faced by municipal budget processes. Ms Gay can get as angry as she wants - but I see this as an opportunity for you and your coworkers to seize the day not just as cogs in a government, but as citizens looking to make change. Good luck!
A friend of mine was laid-off from his job because of the pandemic. He was getting his unemployment check and the extra $600. He said his company was calling him to go back to work and he said he tried asking them if they really needed him right now -- and they said that yes they did need him. So he went back to work. So what is the point of this vignette. If he had not gone back to work he would have lost his unemployment and his $600 per week. So getting $600 per week is not a disincentive to work exactly because it is unemployment and it is not the worker that chooses unemployment. It is the boss.
It does not take a great deal of study to figure this out.

Q:
Magento2 - use layouts like bootstrap
looking for a way to use a grid layout for CMS pages (such as home page) of magento2 - theme copied from Luma into a custom.
would like to have the ability to set up two divs to float side by side, like you can do with bootstrap such as this:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12"></div>
<div class="col-sm-6"></div>
<div class="col-sm-6"></div>
</div>
</div>
but without creating custom classes for it? (I tried adding bootstrap, but it comflicts with whatever Magento is using for Luma's responsiveness) - so I figured, maybe they have some classes I can tie into?
A:
You need to go to bootstrap website and customize bootstrap before downloading.
When you are on the page disable all options but "Grid system" after that scroll all the way down to download the zip file.
In the zip file you will find bootstrap.css file, you can add it straight away because it won't conflict with Magento 2 own css.
Q:
Count the occurrences of a foreign key that references a primary key in the same table
Let's say I have table patients that looks like this:
+------------+------------+-----------+----------------+
| id_patient | first_name | last_name | recommended_by |
+------------+------------+-----------+----------------+
| 1 | Joe | Bronson | NULL |
| 2 | Jack | Jackson | 1 |
| 3 | Jon | Jonson | 1 |
+------------+------------+-----------+----------------+
The column recommended_by is a foreign key that represents another row in the patient table. I want to count the number of recommendations each patient has given. I used this query:
SELECT recommended_by, count(recommended_by)
FROM patients
GROUP BY recommended_by;
Which gives this result:
+----------------+-----------------------+
| recommended_by | count(recommended_by) |
+----------------+-----------------------+
| NULL | 0 |
| 1 | 2 |
+----------------+-----------------------+
So it returns a patient_id and count of its recommendations. However, I want to include the first and last name for that patient. How can I create the query to return a list of all patients who made recommendations and how many they made?
For example, the above result would return:
| id_patient | first_name | last_name | recommendations |
+------------+------------+-----------+-----------------+
| 1 | Joe | Bronson | 2 |
A:
You were off to a good start. If I were approaching this problem, I would first write a subquery to get the number of times each id appears in the recommended_by column. You've done that:
SELECT recommended_by, COUNT(*) AS numRecommendations
FROM patients
GROUP BY recommended_by;
What you can do then, is join this subquery with your original query on the condition that id = recommended_by. I would suggest a LEFT JOIN. If a patient has never recommended someone, you will get a null value. Use COALESCE to change it to 0:
SELECT p.*, COALESCE(t.numRecommendations, 0)

Hi all,
I am trying to identify Snort rules that eat a lot of performance. I am
applying web related snort-community rules. For this I am using the
build-in perf profiling. After a test run on 6mio packets (no
alerts) the profile_rules gives me ~100 rules. I remove them and repeat
the test run. Now it says "No rules were profiled". In my understanding
of the profiler this means that none of the rules used any cpu time.
How can that be, given that HTTP inspect reports thousands of HTTP
requests and of the remaining 3,6k web based rules most contain http
related content patterns.
There are also many 'any any -> any any' headers or equivalent (given
that HOME_NET and EXTERNAL_NET maps to any), so the detection engine has
to go down the chain options, as far as my understanding goes.
Can someone explain me why no rules are reported by the perf profiling?

Anna Nicole Smith?
The late model, as seen in last night's Lifetime original film Anna Nicole, left an indelible mark on a then still-developing reality TV and celebrity culture.
Agnes Bruckner took on the tragic, titular role of the woman whose life saw so many ups, downs and bizarre turns that were stranger than fiction.
“I was very nervous and anxious, because she was so iconic and so famous and larger-than-life. I asked myself ‘Am I going to pull this off?’" Brucker said.
"'What kind of movie are we making?’ I asked all those questions. We really wanted to tell a different story, and that gave me the confidence to play her."
That different story is one of a woman whose life played out in real time in front of viewers for years - something now commonplace for Kim Kardashian et al.
It is also a tale of tragedy for a mother who welcomed a daughter, Dannielynn, just before she lost a son, and met her own demise in early 2007.
Whatever your opinion of Anna Nicole Smith, any parent can understand the struggle to go on after losing a child, a rare constant in a whirlwind of a life.
In the end, the film is pretty standard for Lifetime celebrity fodder, if not slightly better in the emotions, events and themes it chose to focus on.
The five most memorable moments from Anna Nicole:
1. Bruckner's transformation. Yes, it's what actresses do, but this is one heck of a woman to transform into, given her wildly fluctuating weight and appearance.
Smith flashed her boobs to crowds, pole-danced on football field (in front of her son), got hammered while pregnant, and went balls to the wall, 24/7/365.
That's not an easy person to embody, but Bruckner did so admirably.
2. An extension of #1 perhaps, but seeing Bruckner acting out the clown scene was so bizarre, it defies description. Incredibly, it happened in real life, too.
Donning eerie clown makeup and slurring her speech, a pregnant Anna Nicole Smith claimed her baby was “just gas” as Howard K. Stern filmed it.
It was a have-to-see-it-to-believe-it moment, a haunting reminder of how far she had fallen by that point and a harbinger of tragic events to come.
3. Anna Nicole's son Daniel was the unexpected star of the film.
Through the years, we saw his unconditional love and vulnerability, how Anna’s hard living impacted him, and how he succumbed to similar troubles himself.
4. Rather than flashbacks, there were flash-forwards to Smith in that iconic red dress, as if Anna Nicole were destined to be pulled out of Vickie Lynn.
5. The whole J. Howard Marshall romance was kind of odd, at least it was played up that way here, as if he just wanted to have some fun | 512 |

For example, why is everything hung off a variable ("$")? Why not just a collection of global methods?
It seems to tout the fact that it's good because it does NOT extend any built-in objects, but that seems un-swifty.

In this way, applications running on qem should see its time freeze, and

However, the notation property :field, Stringwould have to be changed to attr_accessor :field, :type => String

Hi,
I have just managed to procure a second AMT-8 to complement my
first one.
In the manual, for USB, it says to stack 2 AMT's by using an RS422 cable
to connect the first to the second.
It does not mention the use of a USB hub or OSX.
Since I am using Logic 6 on OSX, I am hoping that having a second AMT will
overcome the clock bug, that is caused by not having an Emagic interface
on the second port. I think Logic only supports clocks to both interfaces
if they are both Unitor/AMT.
In any case, can I stack the 2 AMT's by putting them on a powered hub
like I currently do with the MidiSport 4x4 or do I have to still
patch them together with the RS422 cable?
Am I right to assume that by having 2 AMT's (replacing my 4x4)
I will be able to send clocks anywhere I like to both interfaces or
will this only be so if I use the RS422?
Thanks....

StackExchange | Service: GCM allows you to send push to many devices using either REST or XMPP. Even if you're using GCM you'll have to implement a lot by yourself. In my humble opinion this is the best solution;
Implement a socket to connect the clients with the app server: this will required a whole lot of work, from sync to managing the power that your app consume, I wouldn't recommend you to follow this;
Understand the basics...
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP):
Is a communications protocol for message-oriented middleware based on
XML (Extensible Markup Language).1 It enables the near-real-time
exchange of structured yet extensible data between any two or more
network entities
REST:
Is an architectural style consisting of a coordinated set of
architectural constraints applied to components, connectors, and data
elements, within a distributed hypermedia system. REST ignores the
details of component implementation and protocol syntax in order to
focus on the roles of components, the constraints upon their
interaction with other components, and their interpretation of
significant data elements.4 Through the application of REST
architectural constraints certain architectural properties are
induced: Performance, Scalability, Simplicity, Modifiability,
Visibility, Portability, and Reliability.4
From above we can understand that REST and XMPP are nothing more than protocols that you might end up using in order to pass your data through the components of your architecture. XMPP is the most optimized protocol for instant message communication, however, it is a bit more complex to implement. Fortunatelly, GCM support both protocols.
A possible architecture...
An instant message app is like any other client-server App. What is crucial to them is the need to notify the clients of updates that happen in the server. To do so, you need a proper way to communicate two clients. Usually this is made through a common app server. If you decide to go with GCM approach (my suggestion), you would have the following components:
GCM App Server: Responsible to manage the token generation and forward the received message to their targets;
Custom App Server: back end of the system implemented by you;
Client: web, android or iOS device that will receive push notifications;
It all starts when client opens the app, it will then make a call directly to GCM to request a token. Once it possess a token, the device should synchronize it with Custom App Server - so it knows everybody connected to the system and how to get to them. Custom app server maintain the token information in DB. When a device wants to send a message to another one, it will send a request to the custom app server which will, by its turn, retrieve the token of the target and forward the request to GCM App Server. It will then make a push to the target.
A Real Example...
As I said, I had to do a simmilar solution as I described above. The result of my work can be found in the following repositories:
Instachat Android: contains the source code for an App that uses GCM - it looks a lot like Whats App; | 512 |

You clutched Sans harder, listening to the distant rolling crumble as bones were broken and Flowey slowly searched through the entire field of them.
Sans pulled back a little but stayed just below you, looking up and searching your face with his fast, beady pupils. You wanted to have an answer to give him, and it came to you as you seemed to feel your very body drag on you like a dead weight.
“Okay.”
“yeah?”
“I don’t think Flowey actually wants us to die. We’re the only things _in_ this world. If we’re here to amuse him he’ll probably… if we die, he’ll go back and do it over again.”
“that seems… yeah, i'm with ya.”
“And when did you try again?” Viktor asks, and his tongue darts out to lick his lips and Yuuri is far, far too young to have a heart attack and yet here he is, his entire chest palpitating. He knows that Viktor can see him shaking but he doesn’t know how to stop it, doesn’t know what to do with the attention that’s currently being poured onto him like cement, trapping him where he lays.
Yuuri’s eyes drift down to Viktor’s hand, which is now trailing up Yuuri’s bicep on its relentless mission of exploration. “As soon as the doctor cleared me.”
Viktor laughs at that.
Suddenly there’s only an inch or so left between them.
Yuuri takes in a breath and Viktor’s eyes fall shut, the moonlight still beating down on him as his hand on Yuuri’s arm stills and he makes his way closer, the pace agonizingly slow.
Yuuri closes his eyes, too, and suddenly, his lips press against something.
Something furry.
Something definitely _not_ Viktor. Unless Viktor had suddenly grown very, very prominent facial hair.
“Makkachin!” Viktor giggles, rolling onto his back and taking the dog with him, smiling and peppering kisses across the poodle’s fur.
Yuuri feels heat rising in his cheeks as he rolls onto his own back, wishing for the second time since he’d met Viktor that he was a dog. He glances over at the older man again and sees that he’s now wrapping Makkachin in his arms, still kissing and praising him despite the fact that the dog had just interrupted something of the upmost importance.
(He’s fairly certain that Makkachin looks at him apologetically, but for once in his life, Yuuri Katsuki doesn’t forgive immediately.)
(He does, however, forgive about five minutes later, when Makkachin makes his way over to Yuuri’s side of the small bed and places a sloppy kiss to his forehead.)

During the Cup of China, they’d shared a hotel room.
Viktor had set up the arrangement, so Yuuri figured it had been his idea, but they never really talk about it. After all, there are two beds, and there’s plenty of room for both of them, so there’s not much to it.
The first night, everything is fine, albeit Yuuri’s usual nervousness. | 512 |
gmane | was rare, maybe once every couple of weeks,
at its worst. I've been using IMAP for years and those old messages (that I
kept) are still available...IMAP should not remove the messages, unless
deleted and purged, as Jason said. Wonder if something else is pulling down
the messages in parallel with Outlook? Make sure you do not have a POP3
account setup for the same user.
If this were a slow connection and POP3, I might say the 'check' time is too
short... cannot find a setting like that in IMAP accounts...
Try webmail first, then if things look OK, your Outlook. Go back into
webmail after Outlook logs in and check again. Messages should still be
there and if not, something (Outlook?) MUST be deleting them. If you have
another computer, setup Outlook for this account and use that instead of
your computer, first thing in the morning....if that works, then I'd have to
say it was something on your computer or Outlook.
Very strange...

Hello Everybody,
I have a simple question about the Nginx FastCGI implementation. Let's say
that 1,000 web browsers are requesting pages from our server, and we're
using FastCGI within Nginx.
While the FastCGI specification permits sending little pieces of each
request ("multiplexing" them), my understanding is that most (all?)
implementations don't do this. Therefore,
(1) does Nginx FastCGI provide exactly one complete HTTP request at a
time?
(2) does Nginx FastCGI want us to respond to that particular HTTP request
before it gives us the next one?
The reason that I ask is this: If my FastCGI server is high-latency, I'm
wondering if it can get lots of requests to work on, or if it will have to
finish one and only then get the next one, and only Nginx knows the answer
to this question. :)
Many thanks for your kind help, and I hope that I didn't miss the answer to
this question in my search of the archives.

Also if anyone wants to travel to RTP to join those of us based here I
also need to know so I can get a space reserved. Given the geographic

Hi,
I was trying to change the LyX icons to use similar Tango ones (not that
I like Tango, but it is quite complete, esp. with OpenOffice.org math
stuff).
I copied in my user lyxfolder (~\Application Data\lyx16\images) png
files with same names as the ones in the LyX resources folder
(C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.4\Resources\images).
However, the result looks bad (fuzzy, esp. for lines). I noticed that
the original LyX images have heterogeneous sizes (most often 20x20,
22x22 and 24x24 pixels), and tried to make all my png images 22x22, but
they still look bad.
Is there a way to specify the icon size somewhere | 512 |

Part I.

1885.
INTRODUCTION.
English literature has its Comic Histories, its Comic Grammars, its
Comic Geographies, and its Comic Law-Books, and Carlyle once prophesied
that it would some day boast its Comic Bible. Tough as the fine old
Sage of Chelsea was, he predicted this monstrosity with something of the
horror a barbarian might feel at the thought of some irreverent fellow
deliberately laughing at the tribal fetish. But what shocked our
latter-day prophet so greatly in mere anticipation has partially come to
pass. "La Bible Amusante" has had an extensive sale in France, and the
infectious irreverence has extended itself to England. Notwithstanding
that Mr. G. R. Sims, when he saw the first numbers of that abominable
publication, piously turned up the whites of his eyes, and declared his
opinion that no English Freethinker, however extreme, would think of
reproducing or imitating them, there were found persons so utterly
abandoned as not to scruple at this unparalleled profanity. Several
of the French drawings were copied with more or less fidelity in the
_Freethinker_, a scandalous print, as the Christians love to describe
it, which has been prosecuted twice for Blasphemy, and whose editor,
proprietor and publisher, have been punished respectively with twelve,
nine and three months' imprisonment like common felons, all for the
glory and honor of God, for the satisfaction of his dear Son, and for
the vindication of the Holy Spirit. In many cases the French originals
could not be reproduced in England, owing to their Gallic flavor. A

“Okay then, if you’re going to be our real pet, we’re going to have to make some rules,” Liam said, clapping his hands together to get the other boys to stop laughing.
“First thing- you can’t talk anymore unless Miss Rich calls on you. Pets don’t talk.”
“That makes sense, plus, you don’t talk that much already” Harry said. “Although it would be cool if pets could talk- can you imagine if dogs and cats were able to tell you…”
“Harry, recess isn’t long enough for whatever you’re going to say,” Louis interrupted him. “Okay, rule number two- you can’t go anywhere by yourself. ‘Specially since Nathan and his buddies have it out for you.”
“That’s a good rule,” Zayn said. “It’s our job to make sure you’re safe, so you need to stay with us.”
“Rule number three is that you have to listen to us when we tell you to do something,” Harry said. “If we say sit, you have to sit and stuff like that.”
“Also, even though we’ve kind of been doing it already, we’re in charge of feeding you and making sure you’re happy,” Zayn added.
“We can probably add more rules as things come up,” Liam said, “but that’s probably good for now.”
Niall nodded, and the boys took this as his confirmation, seeing as he wasn’t supposed to talk anymore.
Dean is surprised at how good Cas is at this, the seemingly naïve angel is putting some of his former flings to shame. The way he melds the movement of his lips with Dean's is almost profound, and when Cas begins to gently explore his mouth with his tongue Dean's knees buckle ever so slightly and he sags in the angel's arms.
When they part lips, each of them is a tad flustered. Cas's hair is sticking up in all directions, and Dean's face is flushed up to his ears.
“Damn Cas how'd you get so good at that?” Dean inquires between gasps of breath.
“Gabriel had me practice as part of my list of errands.”
“Uh, practice?”
Later that day, Dean finds an envelope of polaroid photographs that had fallen out of Cas's trench coat pocket, most likely in a bout of _hurried undress._
“Hey Cas, what're these old polaroids about?” he asks, as he settles himself back into the mattress.
Cas doesn't get a chance to answer, and when Dean pulls them out his jaw drops.
He holds in his hand, photo documentation of Castiel, sucking face-with what Dean thinks-has to be every bikini clad girl in Europe.
He also finds a small post-it-note stuck inside the envelope.

_You're welcome._
_Love,_

Gutenberg (PG-19) | man, to accept a sum of money, if it were offered, and compromise
the business: this proposal was indignantly rejected, and the man treated
as he deserved to be—with merited contempt. We regret also that a man,
whose duty is the apprehension of transgressors against our laws, should
have interfered most unjustly to hush up the matter.
Some, perhaps, may think that too much severity appears in our
observations against the Prisoner—but, can this be the case? Can any man
feel too indignant at the conduct of such miscreants?—We cordially agree
with the learned Counsel for the Prisoner, that if a wish would sweep
such characters from the creation, that wish would be immediately
expressed by every true British heart.—Are we too severe? _Remember the
conduct of the Almighty_, _who sent fire and brimstone from Heaven_, _and
consumed the GUILTY Inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah_, _lest their
filthy bodies should pollute the grave_.
The friends of the Prisoner have publicly supported him in his defence by
their Subscriptions. The Prosecutor has stood almost alone; but,
confident that the liberality of the Public was never appealed to in
vain—that they will always assist the injured poor in bringing their
oppressors to punishment, this Publication is submitted to them; and they

the fifty-seventh year of the reign of George the Third, with force and
arms, at the parish aforesaid, in the county aforesaid, in and upon one

and there did beat, wound, and ill treat, so that his life was greatly
despaired of, with intent, that most horrid, detestable, and sodomitical
crime (among Christians not to be named) called Buggery, with the said
Adam Foreman, against the order of nature, then, and there feloniously,
wickedly, and devilishly, to commit and do, to the great displeasure of
Almighty God, to the great damage of the said Adam Foreman, and against

Q:
Inputting katakana on Google Japanese Input
How do we use Google Japanese Input 12-key keyboard to input Katakana as the keys are in Hiragana? For example, how do I input アinstead of あ?
A:
Google Japanese Input only has 2 modes: kana/romaji.
There is no hiragana-only/katakana-only compared to other IMEs. However, in kana mode, the suggestion box provides hiragana (normal/small), katakana (normal/small and full/half), kanji, and recently used words as possible conversion.
Note: sometimes you need to scroll to the bottom for katakana conversion.

Q:
Ajax Response Formatting
I have a user registration for my website, in which an ajax request is executed when the sign up button is clicked. This request handles validation, as well as adding the user to the database. I have everything working but I have a minor problem which I would like to fix. In my error handling, the response can return a 400 http status code with either a missing field or invalid field message. For these messages, I would like to have it so the sentence before the line break is displayed on one line, and then the sentence after the line break is displayed in a new line.
PHP:
// If all the previous steps are valid and variables are set, try to run the SQL query to make new account.
if (isset($firstname) && isset($surname) && isset($email) && isset($usernameSignup) && isset($passwordHash)) {
try {
// code to add user to database not included but is here
} catch (PDOException $e) {
http_response_code(400);
die("Email or Username Already Exists.\n Make sure these fields are valid before trying again.");
}
} else {
http_response_code(400);
die("Missing Field(s).\n Make sure there are no empty fields before trying again.");
}
JS:
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "userRegistration.php",
data: {
},
dataType: "json",
success: function(xhr) {
// Success handler code
}
},
error: function(xhr) {
// Default error handler code
},
statusCode: {
400: function(res) {
console.log(res);
console.log(res.status);
console.log(res.responseText);
$("#loadingIcon").addClass("d-none");
$("#errorResponse").removeClass("d-none");
$("#errorMessage").text("An error occured: " + res.responseText);
}
}
});
I would like "Make sure there are no empty fields before trying again" to be on a new line. If possible, I would also like to get the "Missing Field(s)" in bold.
A:
Add html tags to your text:
die("<b>Missing Field(s).</b><br /> Make sure there are no empty fields before trying again.");
Then change your js:
$("#errorMessage").html("An error occured:<br />" + res.responseText);
You need to use html() function, as your text contains html tags.

Kitty and Me is a favorite with our youngest granddaughters ages 4 to 8. Whenever they visit us, they always pick this book as one they want read prior to bedtime. The illustrations are colorful, detailed, and Ms. Kane captures the expressions of the kitty so well. The text is easy for our granddaughters, especially the youngest, to follow and understand, especially since they are cat persons, too. Highly recommend for the young reader. This book will no doubt earn its place as a beloved story for years to come along with the authors other timeless stories.

Great movie, even better soundtrack. The movie deals with writer-director Cameron Crowe's trails and tribulations as a Rolling Stone magazine journalist. Great movie but the music in the movie totally makes the movie.
After just the first listen, you will fall in love with this great collection of songs. From Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cat Stevens and many more great artists, this collection of songs are just incredible and a perfect complement to the movie. Buy the movie and then buy this soundtrack :)
The case is nice and high quality. It has a built-in handle on the inside of the cover. The clean stitches show the case is made very well. It fits the tablet.
I had the concern that the case might cover the edge too much since Windows 8 needs to swipe over the edge. The one I get still leaves some space for the two long edge sides. With some practice, I can still do swipe on the long sides. For the short sides, since it has two semi-circle openings, there is really no issue.
Considering its price, it is a best buy.

Bree and Anthony's story was filled with passion and pain. I love friends to lovers stories and Melissa Toppen didn't disappoint.

Anthony is just the person she needs to help make her family whole. It is definitely a tear jerker so have tissues handy.

Haines is not like other gifts shop in Alaska, so the store front signs proclaimed. This is in reference to the fact that many gift shops in cruise ship towns are not locally owned. We wandered in and out of shops all day. We noticed the big seller to the cruise ship crowd is “bear skat” and “moose droll” fudge. It is almost as popular as “moose nugget” jewelry. I’m still not sure why tourists are infatuated with the bodily functions of wildlife. In my wanderings, one of my favorite things to do is read the local bulletin boards in small towns. Haines did not let me down:
Jaz is now calling herself “Saint Lucha”
Jaz has adopted a new name. “They call me Saint Lucha,” is something I have been hearing now.
We explored all the roads Haines had to offer including the dead end at Chilkoot Lake which was amazing and beautiful. We stopped for roadside French press ala jetboil coffee, and enjoyed the view.
Our short stay in Haines ended up at the ferry terminal. We boarded the ferry and hung out in the bar for hours listening to classics like, “Your Love Has Lifted Me Higher” by Rita Coolidge.

Q:
What does ++1 mean
I just saw some sample code that someone posted (here) that set an integer variable equal to ++1. I was shocked that the VB.NET compiler would accept that as valid syntax. For instance, this compiles:
Dim i As Integer = 0
i = ++1
i = ++1
Console.WriteLine(i) ' Outputs "1"
As best I can tell, it seems to ignore the pluses and just use the value that follows it. For instance:
Dim i As Integer = 0
i = ++10
Console.WriteLine(i) ' Outputs "10"
So my question is, why is that valid syntax? Is there some rule for the + operator that I'm totally unaware of. As far as I knew, that was invalid and ++ was not, itself, an operator in VB.NET.
A:
Unlike in some other languages, it’s just a sign. Signs can be duplicated – +-++1 works, ---3 works, and Not Not Not Not condition works as well.
Q:
How to create virtual webcam in Windows 10?
I would like to take video from a webcam, render some text on the frames and do some motion tracking and pass it on to a virtual webcam so it can be streamed easily.
I found some answers on stackoverflow suggesting that I should use DirectShow. According to information in DirectShow documentation, the DirectShow SDK is part of Windows SDK. So I installed the latest Windows SDK but it seems that it doesn't include DirectShow because there are no DirectShow samples under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows. (The stackoverflow answers are also pretty old - dated around 2010)
Can you suggest a way to make DirectShow work (including samples working on Visual Studio 2015) or some other alternative to DirectShow, that would help me create a virtual webcam?
A:
Virtual webcam is typically a software only implementation that application discover as if it is a device with physical representation. The mentioned applications use APIs to work with web cameras and ability to extend the APIs and add your own video source is the way to create a virtual web camera.
In Windows there are a few APIs to consume video sources: Video for Windows, DirectShow, Media Foundation (in chronological order).
Video for Windows is not really extensible and limited in capabilities overall. It will see a virtual device if you provide a kernel mode driver for a virtual camera.
DirectShow is the API used by most video capture enabled Windows applications and it is present in all Windows versions including Windows 10 (except just Windows RT). Then it's perfectly extensible and in most cases the term "virtual webcam" refers to DirectShow virtual webcam. Methods to create DirectShow virtual webcam discussed in many StackOverflow questions remain perfectly valid for Windows 10, for applications that implement video capture using DirectShow:

goodreads | not much of a surprise. I know the novels well so I figured out a certain mystery right away, however, the author includes so many other secrets and plot twists that even if you think you know something, you don't really. If you don't know the novels, it might make the mysteries included here more fun. Still, I stayed up waaayy too late to finish the book. I was a bit surprised by some of the reveals and rather disappointed in the whodunnit conclusion. The writing style is more casual and easy than Stephanie Barron and Catherine Lloyd. Closer to Anna Maclean's Louisa May Alcott mysteries. There's a lot of information on the etiquette of the time period woven into the story and how the justice system worked. Casual Jane Austen fans and newcomers to the time period, and fans of cozy mysteries can all enjoy this series.
Dido is a bit of a mix between Jane Austen and some of her characters. Though she is intelligent, when she recognizes a quotation from Shakespeare, she doesn't remember where it's from. I knew some of the quotations but not the major one. There's not really much about her life here but we follow the progression of her relationship with Mr. William Lomax. I felt that was a bit too modern for the time period.
Other new characters include Mrs. Midgley, the mean-spirited, cheap gossip who is the character you will love to hate. Mrs. Midgley's ward, Mary Bevan, lives with her but is soon to go out to be a governess. She's a rather modern character or so it seems, however, some of her lines are taken straight out of Jane Fairfax's mouth so I guess she's accurate enough. Shes supposed to be the most mannered young lady who always appeard to behave correctly. Her secrets weren't much of a surprise but how she chose to handle her dilemma surprised me. I think she did the right thing for modern times but in her time, I think she should have made a different decision, the way another character did. Miss Prentice also lives with Mrs. Midgley as a boarder. She's a toned down version of Miss Bates from Emma and I liked her immensely. Her plot doesn't entirely reach it's logical conclusion and we're left hanging a bit. Mr. Lansdale seems nice enough but he isn't fleshed out very well and I don't feel at all well acquainted with him. There are several other characters who appear infrequently in the plot but play a major role in the story.

romance red alert
This book is a bit like a bubbling pot of genre stew. There's dystopia (although I don't think it's need at all) and there's plucky girl protagonist. There's huge, macho men from another world who fall for the main girl, Abby. There's a large dose of the Chosen One. There's elements of fairy tales and crossing to other dimensions.

I was talking a year before. I can't talk about this Swansea half-season because it seems he clearly doesn't fit the team (like Sandro Ramirez for Everton i.e.). But he had an impressive season in Las Palmas, and Gomes showed very poor contribution and no blood in his appeareances with us. Gomes had a good season in Valencia (not great IMO, just good) and he was young and promising, therefore we paid 35M for him. Since then, he has barely played nor contributed. So if you ask me if last year I'd had Mesa for 12M instead of Gomes for 35M as a backup player and lesser role, I'd definitely go with Mesa.
Of course the best car sounds appealing to you, anyone who loves driving would agree. However, you will be EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised with the simple base WRX and its speed, handling, and simply it's drivability (is that a word? Idk). Honestly, since you are young and just getting a manual, you probably won't be able to tell a huge difference in a base WRX versus an STI (at least. I know I probably wouldn't). My first car was an early 90s Honda Accord, second car was a early 00s Acura TL, then I bought the WRX. I was blown away. And you will too. Personally, I don't think the STI is worth the considerable extra money for someone in your position. I think it would be a smart idea to get a WRX and once you've learned more about it and have driven it for a few years, and still like it, upgrade to an STI - learn to drive on a base wrx, fuck it up a bit, LEARN, and then when you've really understood these cars, get an sti and mod it to whatever your heart pleases and keep it for 10+ years!. I'm not sure why exactly your parents want you to sell it after 4 years, BUT these cars have crazy resale values and if you don't completely rice it out or destroy the tranny within 4 years, you'll get most of your money back - which could go towards an STI. But once again, do whatever pleases you man. It's your car and you should enjoy driving whatever you get and not have to settle. But, as another young person that learned to really, actually, learn to drive (a manual too), a base WRX was the smart decision. I've had it for 14 months and I still get excited every damn time I see it and I take it out for 5-10min drives all the time just because it's so fun to drive. You'll get that experience with the sti too, of course - but I don't think paying 30% more will result in 30% more fun. Let us know what you decide on, and good luck :)

"A season on it is different. Both teams are up there.
"This time last year they were sat fourth in the Champions League positions and went on and had a good season.
"They looked like they were maybe going to be in line for the top four but then dropped off a bit but they still finished in the top six.
"Both teams have made a very good start to this season and they are one of our rivals but it's no surprise Everton have been up there for the last few years.
"They've been very competitive and been up and around that level for a few years. Roberto has come in and he'll do an excellent job there."
Rodgers is confident the short trip to Goodison - where Everton have not lost in the league in 2013 - holds no fear for his players.
"I'd been there (Goodison) with Swansea but last year it was a totally different game," he said.
"It is a hostile environment but our players coped with it brilliantly.
"It is a ground which will test your character. If there is one thing we have improved on it is the resilience in the team.
"We will lose games but our ability to bounce back and be resolute is improving all the time."

I thought the beginning of this book was really entertaining. Amanda is right though, it is from the perspective of a nerdy high school senior. But it quickly turns into a not so good version of Stand By Me as the main character is on an endless quest to find this girl he is obsessed with. I skimmed over much of the last 100 pages just to see what happened at the end and I am glad I did't actually read it all.
Awesomeness. SF where the science is actually Derrida and deconstruction. And absolutely cracking aliens too. My favourite of his yet.
A slave with no memory, Pasha knows only how to follow. However, a fortuitous meeting with a man who knows his past leads Pasha to learn he is a king and that he is destined to lead.
An Uncommon Whore is written in the first person, from the view point of Pasha, or Helios as he becomes known. Sometimes, erotica written in the first person really, really doesn't work, but, fortunately, this is not one of those cases. From the first page, Pasha's voice is strong, unique and believable. It is a voice where I could only see the character and not the author's guiding hand, which is an achievement in and of itself.
What makes Pasha/Helios most interesting, however, is his memory loss. This impacts on the narrative as he must learn as we learn, and his self-doubts and insecurities permeate the text. I really admire how Belinda McBride handled this memory loss, and the subsequent memory regain. Pasha/Helios did not regain all of his memories, and he doesn't regain those he does have all in one go. The process is long, exhausting and painful. At times, you don't even want him to regain his memories, but to remain blissfully ignorant forever. Out of all the things I like about this book, the way McBride handled this amnesia is my favourite.
It is not just Pasha/Helios who is an interesting character. The rest of the cast are three-dimensional solid characters who, through Pasha's eyes, we learn about and form opinions on them. I was unsure about the character of Griffin to begin with, in most part due to the eyepatch he wears. I thought it might just be something added to make him seem 'cool', but, thankfully, I was proven wrong. It was a physical mark of a much deeper scar. Many authors, when they give their characters trauma in the past, forget to think about how it impacts on their future. This is not the case in An Uncommon Whore.
The only thing bad about this book is that it is over too quickly. I feel as though everything was tied up too quickly and neatly at the end of the novel (though this is promising to shatter in the sequel). The worst thing about the book being over too quickly was that I felt | 512 |

I was 16 and our headmaster came on the PA to inform the school that a fighter jet had stuck the world trade tower. Then it was two. Then it was a commercial airplane. Then it was PA and the pentagon. Then there were rumors of Chicago, Boston, LA. We weren’t sure if there were more planes to come or when it would end. When I heard about the collapse I was told it was like OKC. I thought part of the tower caved in. When I finally got to a room with a TV hours later the reality of it set in. Then night came and we all went to sleep with a feeling of guilt. “I get to sleep knowing my family is ok...how dare I. Those people don’t.”.

“Absolutely not, Dean. It is completely unsafe to perform there. A private club, with one entrance and exit, minimal security- no. There is no way I could adequately ensure your safety in such a venue.”
Eva pursed her lips. She'd never met Nora, but she's heard a lot about her. Marco mentioned her very occasionally, Eva's old friends about town mentioned her more. Peter mentioned her in moments of sadness or anger, still cut up about how such a person could be a Yeerk spy, and about how she could just _disappear_ after everything, not even give him a chance to meet the real Nora and get some closure.
Eva had her suspicions about that. Suspicions born from the look in her son's eyes whenever she came up, from knowing that she and her son thought very much alike. She had carefully avoided having those suspicions confirmed.
“I can't forget,” she said gently, “that when I... that when the yeerk was with me, and I was with you, he never realised anything was wrong. I know that's not his fault. I know that's what they _do_ ; they get in your mind and in your life and slide into your family and things continue as normal. It happened to hundreds of people, I know that. I know I can't expect him to magically know that something was wrong.” She swallowed. “But that doesn't change how I feel. It doesn't change the fact that I was screaming for help and he didn't notice, and I can't look at his face without remembering that.”
“You'll forget in time,” Marco replied.
“Maybe. Maybe you're right. But I'll never forget that...” she looked away herself then, biting her lip.
“Mom?”
“This isn't your problem. I should go.”
“We arranged dinner. We should have dinner. What were you going to say?”
Eva took a deep breath and let it out slowly. How could she tell him this? How could she burden her son, who had already been through so much, with this knowledge? But she wanted him to understand. He had to understand.
“I think,” she said quietly, deliberately, wondering with every word whether she should continue, “I think that he loved the yeerk more than he loved me.”
For a moment, there was perfect silence, perfect stillness. Eva didn't dare look up at her son. She didn't dare breathe. Then, suddenly, a flurry of movement.
Broad, strong arms – the arms of a young man; she still wasn't used to how much he had grown – encircled her, gripped her, shielded her. Her son's face pressed into her neck, her hair. There was no joke on his lips, or on hers, but there were tears running down both their faces.
“You'll sort this out,” Marco whispered into her hair. “You'll do whatever you need to, you and Dad. Together or apart, it doesn't matter. You've always pulled through before.”

Let’s Get Small: The New Age of Articulated Mini LoadersBy Rick Howland
Trending
now in tree care equipment are smaller machines that can do as much or

First Aid Part 3: Resuscitation – CPR and AED Skills for Tree WorkersBy John Ball and Megan Johnson
Cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) is a skill everyone should know, particularly
workers in high-risk occupations such as tree care. In occupations such
as line clearance and logging, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requires at least two persons on every crew be
trained in CPR and first aid. There is good reason for this requirement,
as every year tree workers have survived serious incidents due to the
quick action of a co-worker who was trained in CPR and first aid.
Conservation Arboriculture: Maintaining Old Trees In the Human LandscapeBy Philip van Wassenaer and Alex Satel
For
many people, trees are just another part of daily life. While everyone
relies on, and many even take for granted, the ecological benefits trees
provide every day, people’s interactions with trees are often limited.
From time to time they might rake up leaves or prune a few branches, and
even fewer may at some point in their lives plant a tree. But few
people realize that trees, like works of art, stories or historic
buildings, can also be part of a shared cultural, spiritual and natural
heritage.
Collateral Effects of Neonicotinoid InsecticidesBy Michael J. Raupp, Ph.D., and Adrianna Szczepaniec, Ph.D.
In
recent years, invasive insect pests such as hemlock woolly adelgid and
emerald ash borer have had a multibillion-dollar impact on lost property
values and expenditures by private citizens and governments to thwart
their attacks (Raupp 2014). To combat these pests arborists, government
agencies, and private citizens have employed systemic insecticides
belonging to a class of compounds known as the neonicotinoids. Now we
are finding that arborists need to be aware of the potential for
collateral damage using these insecticides.

their company’s buildings during the cold-weather months.

StackExchange | One thing I think you are worried about is over thinking or thinking in the wrong direction. So if you are learning new things and new ways of approaching things, check example problems from the MO as you go and reasure yourself. I guess it depends on how you learn and how you understand things weather it's absorbing it and making it natural from the core to you, or memorizing and learning tricks. If you take on new kinds of problems you make your mind more dynamic and give it more tools and practiced pathways to use or not use when tackling a problem. But if you are worried about distracting yourself and being stuck in a different way of thinking, and that impeding your ability to do your best at the MO you should keep that in mind.
One thing that really stood out to me was that you said you were 'willing to' start advance topics. Not that you were interested in or curious or anything to express desire. I can tell you with certainty that more advance maths don't go against what came before. You use everything that came before in the practice of it. If you want to, dip your toes in, and check back on the MO. You'll see for yourself how you feel. But if you have goals and milestones in mind that matter to you above exploring other things right now, you should think about that.
There have been times where I learned something new and it changed my understanding in a way I could go back through everything I knew before and make really cool realizations and maybe rarely find my own way of making problem solving more intuitive and quicker, but for the most part they give you the most useful tools for solving problems at each level of learning. So calculus gave me a different way of seeing and feeling numbers and situations, but didn't help my algebra beyond a better understanding of the exploration of limits and critical points.
One last thing I just thouht of is how the brain works. If you give it a challenge it struggles and grows. So maybe the act of trying to learn and understand new things will make your brain develop beyond just taking in new understanding and make it work better as a whole, for all problems.
There is no absolute answer to your question. But there are edjucated guesses. Trial and error doesn't work so great when you have one life to live. But at the same time, understanding that can really help. You don't want to regret a bad choice, but you don't want to live consumed with worry about 'bad' choices. They're all unomptimized good choices. And you can't know all the perameters. So accept that and and hapily make an edjucated guess and don't worry about the unkowable unkowns. Focus on your goals and adapt and experiment. And always ask questoins.

StackExchange | in these speakers, same manufacturer. Or you find Subs that read, 15" 500W, 18" 500W,15" 1400W, 18" 300W,18" 800W. I'm confused. I don't have much experience with sound/audio.
I was looking at a powered speakers catalog here, http://www.soundz.co.za/c792-1/Powered-Speakers.aspx
What do the inches mean in terms of sound? What do the watts mean in terms of sound?
A:
When you have a measurement of inches referring to a speaker it is the diameter of that speaker, so a 12" 400W speaker is physically 12" wide and is rated at a maximum of 400 Watts.
The wattage is so you know how much power you can push through the speaker without damaging it.
More Watts = more volume
The physical size is very closely related to the sound, for example to get a good bass response you need to be able to physically move a lot of air - so the only way to do this is with a large speaker. If you want a high frequency response you need a small speaker cone that can be moved very fast. These two differing requirements are the reason you have bass, midrange and treble speakers in any hifi system, and you split the frequency ranges to the appropriate speakers.
More inches = better bass response (potentially)
A:
Suggestive Specifications
Both the inches and the Watts are suggestive specifications of the following:
Inches - The approximate diameter of the bass driver cone (if there is more than one driver, like in multi-way design). It is an approximation since some designs spell 8'' for what is really 7.8''. This spec vaguely correlates to the lowest frequency the speaker can produce.
Watts - The power rating of a speaker/amp is a measure the safety power threshold of the device. Roughly correlates to the maximum output level it can produce.
The reason these are suggestive, is that they don't really tell us the important figures - they just suggest what these may be.
The Important Figures
In the spec sheets of a speaker you may find what you are really looking for, although these specifications can be manipulated by manufacturers to their advantage. This is either by means of the system used for measurements, or by the way information is presented. The specifications are:
Frequency Response
The frequency response shows the range of frequencies the speaker can produced. This figure is always a measure that involves some deviation from a mean within a particular window of error (whether the error is presented or not). Often we say that a speaker has "flat" frequency response within a specific range, where "flat" means a certain error is allowed (±3dB, for instance).
For example, a speaker may show a spec like this:
50Hz-24kHz, ±3dB
This means that across the quoted frequency range the level of all frequencies are never 3dB more or less a chosen level (alternatively all frequencies are within a 6dB level window).
The speaker will still produce frequencies below (and above) the quoted range, but these will gradually decrease in level and will be lower (very rarely higher) by | 512 |

Well, the author organized a 301 redirect and uses HTTPS now.
I could do this:
curl -I https://serversforhackers.com
But this doesn't illustrate the whole idea of what default site is and how Host header can address a special site on a shared IP address.
Is it still possible somehow to get 200 Ok addressing via IP address?
A:
In HTTP/1.1, without HTTPS, the Host header is the only place where the hostname is sent to the server.
With HTTPS, things are more interesting.
First, your client will normally try to check the server’s TLS certificate against the expected name:
$ curl -I -H "Host: book.serverforhackers.com" https://198.211.113.202
curl: (51) SSL: certificate subject name (book.serversforhackers.com) does not match target host name '198.211.113.202'
Most clients provide a way to override this check. curl has the -k/--insecure option for that:
$ curl -k -I -H "Host: book.serverforhackers.com" https://198.211.113.202
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx

But then there’s the second issue. I can’t illustrate it with your example server, but here’s one I found on the Internet:

This is caused by server name indication (SNI) — a feature of TLS (HTTPS) whereby the hostname is also sent in the TLS handshake. It is necessary because the server needs to present the right certificate (for the right hostname) before it can receive any HTTP headers at all. In the example above, when we use https://54.240.184.142, curl doesn’t send the correct SNI, and the server refuses the handshake. Other servers might accept the connection but route it to a wrong place, where the Host header will end up being ignored.

(Country is Portugal, if you're interested in learning) Of course it seeked out to destroy, there was something called a Cold War. And it's not like it wasn't mutual. It just so happened that the only minimally viable model was the one who prevailed. Take a look at the shining examples of communism: the USSR and China.

Yeah, you're doomed man. She's not going to change, no matter how scientifically supported your position is. Also, there's absolutely nothing in the Bible about marijuana. If someone's anti-weed, it's their own belief, not a Christian one, or at least not one based off the Bible. Think about it this way: if she was really concerned about your health, she would not only recognize your declining mental health without weed, but she would also be more concerned with your health than her opinions on weed. I could understand if she just didn't want you to smoke around her, but she's trying to control you. She's not even trying to accommodate your mental health. Not healthy at all.
This is the work Shapeways did to set the design rules for SLS. Don't expect to be printing these tests with the service. For example, the minimum wall thickness is .7mm, even though these tests have results for 0.3mm wall thicknesses. Still, it's great information. It would be nice to have this dataset for every 3D printer, or some standardized benchmark. It might help clarify the all too common qualitative assessment of printers.

I wouldn't recommend this method, and the bases you attack in the video are pretty weak to be honest. Using 3 zaps to destroy just one air-defense is overpaying IMO.

The Atlantic Details How Paul Ryan Is STILL Undermining Donald Trump
The Atlantic’s Ronald Brownstein spotlighted the many ways in which House Speaker Paul Ryan is refusing to adapt his personal policy agenda in order reflect the desires of his party’s standard bearer, who was selected by a record number of Republican primary voters.
Just days before the Ryan is set to campaign with Trump in Wisconsin, Ryan sat down with Brownstein and repeatedly expressed his opposition to Trump’s policy proposals.
“Ryan opposed most key components in the bristling insular populism that Trump used to build a winning primary coalition centered on working-class whites. Trump’s enthusiasm for entitlement and infrastructure spending, his hostility to international trade and foreign alliances, and his provocative positions on immigration and crime, all reflect priorities of the party’s growing blue-collar wing. Yet to Ryan, many other Republican legislators, and much of the party’s business leadership, those positions are economically irresponsible, racially indefensible, and politically suicidal.”
Below is the list of issues Brownstein highlights as areas where Ryan is still fighting Trump on policy.
IMMIGRATION
Brownstein also noted that, with regards to illegal immigration, Ryan once again, “rejected Trump’s plan to accelerate deportation of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants: ‘I think there is a way to deal with the undocumented population that doesn’t involve mass deportation,’ [Ryan said during their interview.]”
Instead, Ryan expressed support for allowing people in the country to stay and acquire legal status that would allow them to take American jobs through the issuance of work permits.
During the interview, Ryan described securing the border as a “confidence building exercise” for the American people that would eventually lead them to change their “attitudes” and “embrace” Congressional efforts to “fix our broken immigration system”—i.e. legalize the illegal population.
With regards to green card issuances, Brownstein writes: “Ryan wasn’t familiar with Trump’s call to limit legal immigration to restrict the total share of the U.S. population born abroad, the speaker’s initial reaction was skepticism: ‘I’ve never looked at it like that.’”
Ryan later made the case to Brownstein that rather than curbing immigration, the U.S. should bring in foreign workers to fill the jobs and | 512 |

I think this is a best case scenario, and hope that he would be reaponsive to you. Worst case scenario is that he continues to treat you in a disparate manner. At that point, you have already spoken to him and have options including possible legal recourse. Either way, you have the conversation with him, if not for you, than for those that follow you.

I was bored at work, and I thought it would be interesting to see what people would come up with if the heroes that don't currently have SOTM upgrades, did finally get one. Scout = Remain invisible after ult, can target all heroes in range, and make heroes who are hit by ult, visable for 2 minutes. Bloodhunter = Ministun on ult, increased damage on movement, increased movespeed on target, tic damage if stationary. D.R. = Reduced mana cost, increased speed, any hero who comes into contact with Dr while ulting gets magnetically pulled into spot where Dr passes by. If Dr passes directly through hero, target is immobilized for 2 seconds. Kane = can target multiple heroes within an aoe with ult, increased ult duration. Tremble = Boris evolves, giving Boris increased abilities, faster movespeed, and attack speed, mounds can now be placed globally. Tarot = 15% chance for 1 hit kill, increased range, allies get a passive Crit bonus who are in range. Armadon = becomes invulnerable for 6 seconds. Parallax = increased damage on ult, massive slow if in center of ult. I want to see what serious or wacky crap you guys come up with.

s2orc | for all women with a negative cervical biopsy [5]. After a negative cervical biopsy, a normal first follow-up cytology provided a CIN3+ risk considered acceptable to recommend return to routine screening in 3 years. Cytology and HPV co-testing in post-colposcopy follow-up of negative biopsies may improve risk stratification [6]. For women with antecedent HPV-positive/ASC-US (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) or LSIL, a single negative post-colposcopy co-testing reduced their risk to a level consistent with a 3-year return. For women with antecedent atypical squamous cells-cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(ASC-H)or equal or greater than high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL+), no single negative test result sufficed to reduce their risk to a level consistent with a 3-year return [7,8]. The probability of progression to high grade in LSIL/CIN1 women is very low and not different from women with HPV+ and normal epithelium. CIN1 is not considered anymore a precursor of CIN3 and cancer, but a different way of reproduction of the virus. The increased risk is due to the presence of the virus that can start a new pattern of reproduction, not from the evolution of CIN1 productive infection [9,10]. Therefore, LSIL/CIN1 diagnosed by colposcopy guided-biopsy is recommended to conservative follow-up [11,12]. However, the accuracy and reproducibility of colposcopy-guided biopsies are limited [13,14]. Colposcopic diagnosis accuracy mainly depends on colposcopist experience and the number of cervical biopsies performed [15]. The sensitivity of conventional colposcopy for the detection of CIN2+ is poor. In the ASCUS-LSIL Triage Study, the sensitivity for CIN2+ of an online colpophotographic assessment of high-grade disease was 39% [14]. Zuchna et al. reported 66.2% sensitivity of CIN2+ when up to three guided cervical biopsies were taken regarded as a diagnostic test with the cone specimen as reference standard [16]. Regardless of skill, performing more biopsies increases the sensitivity of colposcopy [15]. Now that colposcopic diagnosis may be part of subjectivity [17], high-grade lesions may be missed with colposcopy guided biopsy. In view of the different clinical procedures between low grade lesion (LSIL/CIN1) and high grade lesion, it is meaningful to search for a new triage to reduce missed high-grade lesions from colposcopy guided-biopsy diagnosed LSIL/CIN1. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA of approximately 22 nucleotides that regulate gene expression through different signaling pathways. miRNA dysregulation is associated with a variety of human malignancies, such as breast, lung, colon, and cervical cancer [18][19][20][21]. Accumulating evidences indicate that some oncogenic miRNAs are associated with cervical tumorigenesis, such as miRNA-10a, miRNA-21, miRNA-19, and miRNA-146a [22][23][24]. Conversely, miRNA-375, miRNA-424, and miRNA-218 are tumor suppressive miRNAs, which are down-regulated in human cervical cancer [25][26][27]. Some mechanisms of these dysregulated miRNAs in cervical carcinogenesis have been confirmed, such as the ones of miR-375, miR-424, and miR-218, which participate in cervical carcinogenesis via targeting Sp1, Chk1, and LAMB3, respectively [28][29][30], while miR-34a is involved in the HPV E6-p53 pathway [31,32]. In clinical applications, miRNA expression profiles are promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis, classification or outcome prediction of human cancer. For example, specific miRNA, such as miRNA-122 and miRNA-192, are abundant in the liver and exhibit dose-and exposure duration-dependent | 512 |

A federal jury on Friday convicted four Somali immigrants, including an imam from a local mosque, of conspiring to funnel money to a terrorist group in their native country.
After a three-week trial and three days of deliberations, the jury convicted the four men of conspiring to raise and send money to Somalia's al-Shabaab. The men co-ordinated fundraising efforts and sent nearly $9,000 to al-Shabaab between 2007 and 2008, prosecutors said.
The U.S. Department of State designated al-Shabaab a terrorist group in 2008, saying it was responsible for targeted civilian assassinations and bombings in Somalia. Federal prosecutors have since cracked down on the group's U.S. support with the arrests of some two dozen people.
Those convicted Friday include 40-year-old Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud, who prosecutors said used his connections as a popular imam at a mosque in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood to raise money for the group.
The other defendants were two San Diego taxi drivers, 36-year-old Basaaly Saeed Moalin and 56-year-old Issa Doreh, and 37-year-old Ahmed Nasir Taalil Mohamud, whose financial transfer business Shidaal Express was used to route the money, prosecutors said.
Government attorneys played tapes of telephone calls, many of them between Moalin and the late Aden Hashi Ayrow, who was among the top leaders of al-Shabaab until he was killed in missile strike in May 2008.
On the tapes, Ayrow can be heard telling Moalin it was "time to finance the jihad" and "you are running late with the stuff, send some and something will happen."
Ayrow encouraged Moalin on the tapes to use the imam to help gather money.
Defence attorneys attacked both the editing and the translation of the tapes, saying overzealous prosecutors made money raised for humanitarian purposes appear sinister.
"They see al-Shabaab everywhere," defence attorney Joshua Dratel said during closing arguments, according to the newspaper UT San Diego.
Moalin, Doreh and Mohamed Mohamud were convicted of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and several counts of conspiracy. Nasir Mohamud was convicted of conspiracy and money laundering.
Sentencing was scheduled for May 16.

reversing isn't an option, we can only go forward. So I added an fgets()
loop in case the fseek() fails. But fgets() can fail, too. Maybe even
spuriously (what happens if the file is actually an fdopen()ed
nonblocking TCP socket or something?), so that the problem fixes itself.
Then the invariant is still violated and we have no indication of
anything being wrong.
So, since it is impossible to guarantee the invariant, and the user
certainly has no way to check, I think telling the user to close the
file on any error is probably the best choice here (i.e. the choice that
saves me the most work).
Looping on format error sounds attractive as well, but I think we'd want
that behavior to be consistent across the entire src/passwd directory,
right? It would allow slightly broken files to be present in the system
without bricking it. On the other hand, permissivity is usually only a
good thing outside of security contexts.

Is there a CLI/scripted way to stop scheduling any new builds on a given
node?
Basically, any builds currently running on a given node should continue to
run until they are finished -- and no new builds should be started.
Think of "retiring" a node, and replacing it with a new one -- but allowing
any existing jobs to finish gracefully.

We had a situation where a patron couldn't use a catalog feature with
her WebTV box that was so old as to no longer be supported by MicroSoft.
The person in charge of our catalog decided to rollback a feature
because of the complaint, but had it been on my Web site I would have
gently told the user that they have an "antique browser" and that we can
support old clients beyond a certain point. For instance, I stopped
testing for Netscape 4.5.x on January 1, 2004, because I decided that it
was unreasonable not to move forward with supporting a browser that
hadn't been updated since 1998. I don't worry about IE 5 compatability
too much these days either.
That being said, I think it is an open question as to how accessible
Flash is to users with disabilities. I think you might run into text
that is not readable, depending on how you render it in your SWF. I
would encourage testing. Personally, Flash would not be my choice for a
library related web site, but I think AJAX also raises similar concerns,
and I'm very excited about what could be done with that technology to
facilitate better informaion retrieval. There is a lot of how and why
that needs to be asked before going with either of these technologies.
If Flash is your only realistic alternative to effectively implement
core functionality, then you have to go with it.
In the end, I think that if you can make your site usable to 98%-99% of
your users, you're doing pretty well. I think we would all like that

No one can quite remember when the first bomb fell. But the land remembers. The land always remembers, particularly when it is scarred with a million years of suffering (packed in a five metre shell, paid in advance.)
No one can quite remember who to blame for the first bomb falling. But their DNA does; and as it twists and mutates in ravaged wastelands and crumbling cities, blame falls by the wayside. There is no place for blame when a living baby is a miracle. When a child with three limbs is a blessing from the gods.
Of course, the gods rarely speak now. Perhaps the radiation killed them along with the planet. It is more likely that they have forsaken humanity; that the grand experiment of consciousness has failed them.
_It rained acid yesterday. Do the gods weep tears of pain or anger? We’ll ask, and they’ll not answer._
No, there are no celestial deities to play hero. Heroes are rarer than gods, because no one can quite remember if heroes are real. Perhaps they’re figments of collective unmitigated despair. Or perhaps they’re broken down, by a thankless world.
Two years after the last warrior queen of an era pulls her husband’s broken body from a burning aircraft, she and her two sister-wives bear sons. They’re the first recipients of a last-ditch attempt to purge generations of malaise from, if not their bodies, then at least those of their children.
It tastes like porridge.
Warrior queens, of course, cannot have the fortune to bear heroes. Warrior queens _are_ heroes, but they are forgotten quickly.

CENTENNIAL, COLORADO A Colorado judge on Thursday set a new trial date for October 14 for James Holmes, the former neuroscience graduate student accused of killing 12 moviegoers in a shooting spree at a Colorado cinema in 2012.
Arapahoe County District Court Judge Carlos Samour delayed the start of the trial, initially scheduled for next month, because of ongoing legal wrangling over Holmes' sanity and other issues.
Holmes, 26, is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder stemming from the July 2012 shooting spree during a screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises." He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
The shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater left 12 people dead and 70 others injured. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty if they secure a conviction.
Last week, the judge ruled that the one-time University of Colorado doctoral candidate must submit to a second sanity evaluation because the first examination was "incomplete and inadequate."
Defense lawyers have conceded that Holmes, a California native, was the lone gunman, but have argued that their client was suffering a psychotic episode when he went on the rampage.
Holmes underwent a court-ordered psychiatric examination last summer. The results have mostly been kept confidential, but prosecutors sought a second evaluation because they said the first had "numerous deficiencies."
Samour agreed, but denied a request by government lawyers that they be allowed to select the new evaluator. An independent psychiatrist or forensic psychologist, who has yet to be appointed, must submit a report no later than July 11, the judge ruled.
The new exam is to focus on Holmes' state of mind at the time of the killings, not his competency to stand trial, and on whether any mental illness precludes him from facing the death penalty.

First, my earlier example with the 620 is not a number I compute, it IS one that wxScrolledWindow creates. It may not store this number internally, instead storing the maximum number of scroll increments, but this is really just a semantic difference. If you scroll down to the bottom of the scrolled window set up with these constraints you will see 30 dead pixels - I am not setting the start position, it is the result of scrolling to the end of the page.
The idea of using wxVScrolledWindow does not really help in a grid as much as this change would because wxVScrolledWindow does not allow for non constant columns. Additionally, why have two classes for this functionality when it does not increase the complexity to have it in wxScrolledWindow. This is a very simple change to wxScrolledWindow that easily allows it to accommodate variable scrolling in both direction - note this change was not in my patch, it is an idea by Wade Brainerd. It is a 2 line change that does allow pixel perfect non - constant scrolling in both directions.

realnews | new Zealand have struggled with their batting ion the series, while their bowling has been mediocre. While India’s star batsman Virat Kohli has an average of 111 in the venue, it has to be seen if he corrects his Ranchi mistake and goes on to score a big innings.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will also be returning to Vizag, a place that put him on the map following his magnificent maiden century against Pakistan in 2005. Dhoni definitely has fond memories from this ground and would like to keep them that way. He is expected to bat at no 4, like he has in the last two matches and would like to make a significant contribution to India’s score. Dhoni also happens to be the most experienced batsman in this line-up and would definitely look to step up to the occasion. The captain also needs to guide the middle order through the overs and probably even finish the innings with a flourish. If India is grooming Kedar Jadhav as the next finisher, then Dhoni has to be the one to teach him to do so.
Meanwhile, the Kiwis might have won 2 games and levelled the series, they must remember that these wins have been because of India’s mistakes and not exceptional cricket by the Kiwis. Opener Martin Guptill definitely came to his own during the last match but failed to score a hundred and guide his team through the innings. Same is the story with Captain Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor as both have spent considerable time at the crease but have thrown away their wickets.
The bowling for both the team looks the same with similar fast bowlers and a couple of spinners. Jayant Yadav is to make his debut for India. Bowling has played an important part in this series, but then again, it has been mostly due to mistakes made by batsmen. It will be interesting to see how bot teams perform when they go against each other in Vizag. India wins, they keep their home record intact. New Zealand wins; well they just beat India in India!

Singlet GB contributions in the chiral constituent quark model
6 Sep 2004 March 26, 2022
The implications of the latest data pertaining toū−d asymmetry and the spin polarization functions on the contributions of singlet Goldstone Boson η ′ within χCQM with configuration mixing for explaining the "proton spin problem" have been investigated. It is found that the present data favors smaller values of the coupling of singlet Goldstone Boson η ′ as compared to the corresponding contributions from π, K and η Goldstone bosons. It seems that a small non-zero value of the coupling of η ′ (ζ = 0) is preferred over ζ = 0 phenomenologically.The chiral constituent quark model (χCQM), as formulated by Manohar and Georgi [1, 2], has recently got good deal of attention [3, 4, 5, 6] as it is successful in not only explaining the "proton spin crisis"[7,8,9,10]through the emission of a Goldstone boson (GB) but is also able to account for thē u −d asymmetry[11,12,13], existence of significant strange quark contents in the nucleon, various quark flavor contributions to the proton spin [3], baryon magnetic moments[3,4]and hyperon β−decay parameters etc..Recently, it has been shown that configuration mixing generated by spinspin forces[14,15,16], known to be compatible with the χCQM[17,18,19],
improves the predictions of χCQM regarding the quark distribution functions and the spin polarization functions [20]. Further, χCQM with configuration mixing (henceforth to be referred as χCQM config ) when coupled with the quark sea polarization and orbital angular omentum (Cheng-Li mechanism [21]) as well as "confinement effects" is able to give an excellent fit [20] to the octet magnetic moments and a perfect fit for the violation of Coleman Glashow sum rule [22].
Cheng and Li [4] realized that the key to understand the "proton spin problem" [23], within the Manohar and Georgi formalism of χCQM [1], lies in generating an appropriate quark sea in the proton through the chiral symmetry breaking mechanism. The basic process in the χCQM is the emission of a GB by a constituent quark which further splits into a qq pair, for example,
q ± → GB 0 + q ′ ∓ → (qq ′ ) + q ′ ∓ ,(1)
where qq ′ + q ′ constitute the "quark sea" [4,5,6]. The effective Lagrangian describing interaction between quarks and | 512 |

This code:
for (var m = 1; m < a.length; m++)
if (item == a[m])
return false;
return true;
is interpreted as exactly as if it were written like this:
for (var m = 1; m < a.length; m++) {
if (item == a[m])
return false;
}
return true;
A for loop header is syntactically followed by a single statement. That if statement, in turn, fills that requirement. However, wrapping the whole thing in { } also creates a single "compound" statement.
Of course, if the { } were added some other way, then things would be different.
edit — OK, now that you've updated the question to include the errant version, it's clear what the difference is. Your code is different in a particular and very significant way from the working version, and it really has nothing to do with { }. It's that else that's the problem:
for (var m = 1; m < a.length; m++) {
if (item == a[m]) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
You've moved the return true into the else clause, so now it's inside the loop instead of outside. In the working version, or in my version with { } above, it's outside the loop and so won't happen until the loop is completely finished (unless the loop exits with return false; first).
In your version, the very first iteration of the loop will either exit the function with return false; or else it will exit with return true;. The loop will never get any further than that first iteration.

He discusses how the GDP is working toward measuring happiness, and that this will help shift our country's value system toward experiences rather than "stuff." Wallman theorizes that modeling our companies after shareable experiences and products is the wave of the future.
I think it is a wonderful idea to move toward shareable goods and services (Wallman gives examples like Airbnb and Rent the Runway), but the conspicuous consumerism created by Mad Men is still moving forward. We reward ourselves with new stuff, and we enjoy giving physical gifts. The environment may be suffering, but we are still shopping. This shift in our economy, however ideal and Utopian it may be, would encounter too much push-back. Job creation is a well-known issue that drives large scale decisions (including elections). Our country's entire value system would need to shift toward experientialism (what a mouthful!) before we would start to see a real change mirroring Wallman's hypothesis.
I give this book 3.5 /5 stars. Perhaps I have a lack of imagination, but I found his theory to be a bit far-fetched. Although there was a lot of evidence to indicate that experiences make us happy, there was not much evidence to indicate a large-scale shift away from consumerism is in our future. I did, however, end up donating a ton of my stuff after reading the first few chapters.

Lucas Curran, an ex-marine and former SWAT team member is now working for Dark Alley Investigations, doing what a police department would never permit--looking into the death of his own sister, who was married to Jared Palmer, who was cheating on her with Rachel Delaney, and Rachel had no idea he was married at the time. Jared is the classic scoundrel, wealthy but lacking in honesty and morals. Lucas wonders if his sister was murdered so that Jared could be with Rachel. Now that Jared's wife is out of the picture, he's actively trying to get Rachel back.
To investigate further, Lucas charms his way into Rachel's life slowly, lying to her about who he is and what his motives are to gain her confidence, but after Jared's deception, the last thing Rachel needs is another lying scoundrel. Rachel has had a rough beginning and acted out enough as a teenager to have made the aquaintance of the justice system and trust isn't something she offers easily. She's also being threatened and blackmailed, but she's not sure by whom. And that's just for starters.

The initial development and concept elicitation data for the PRECIS instrument have previously been reported [15], and development was conducted in accordance with guidance from the US Food and Drug Administration [8,16] and the American Educational Research Association's Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing [17]. During this development, a conceptual model was proposed based on published data, clinical experience, and advice from leading clinician-scientists in schizophrenia research and neuropsychology [15]. The model included seven domains reported to contribute to the subjective experience of CIAS: attention, communication/social cognition, executive functioning, intermittent impaired perception, memory, metacognitive abilities, and sharpness of thought. Using this conceptual model, intensive concept elicitation interviews were conducted in 80 patients with schizophrenia, and an initial pool of 53 items was developed. Cognitive debriefing interviews resulted in the removal of 18 items and modification of 22 other items. The remaining 35 items represented 23 concepts within six domains plus two items assessing bother.
The instructions for the instrument were modified to include additional explanation regarding the differences between cognitive difficulties and positive symptoms, based on patient feedback [15]. The qualitative findings in these patients informed the basis of a 35-item version of the PRECIS instrument, covering 5 domains (Additional Figure A1). Two domains (sharpness of thought, intermittent, impaired perception) were omitted as having insufficient content validity or being poorly comprehended among participants. This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the 35-item instrument and develop a sensitive and reliable tool for assessing patient experience in CIAS, the PRECIS. Here we report on the domain structure, discriminant (known groups) validity testing, domain scoring, internal reliability, and sensitivity of PRECIS to between-group differences, comparing patients with schizophrenia and control subjects.
Methods
This psychometric validation study included patients with schizophrenia who were participating in a Phase II, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy (cognition and everyday living skills), safety, and tolerability of four orally administered doses of BI 409306 during a 12-week treatment period (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02281773) [18]. Healthy individuals (control group) were recruited separately from subgroups at the same study sites, but using a separate, parallel-study protocol (Clinicaltrial.gov: NCT01505894). The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki [19], International Council for Good Clinical Practice [20], and applicable country-specific regulatory requirements. It was reviewed by the New England Research Institute's institutional review board (IRB) and each study site received individual IRB approval via Alpha IRB.
Patients
All patients/individuals were 18-55 years of age. The patient group had a diagnosis of schizophrenia (as per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) and had received stable antipsychotic treatment for ≥8 weeks prior to randomization. | 512 |

Statement *stmt = conn->createStatement("UPDATE my_customers SET first_name = :1 WHERE customer_id = :2");
std::string s("GEO\0RGE ", 20);

{
oracle::occi::Statement::Status status = stmt->execute();

}

conn->commit();
}
Output:
Error 12899 : ORA - 12899 : value too large for column "MAIN_USER"."MY_CUSTOMERS"."FIRST_NAME" (actual : 40, maximum : 20)
So I tried sending in half the bytes by changing the 2nd parameter of the oracle::occi::Bytes constructor to 10, and it succeeded however after reading the value from the database I realized it is a string representation of the hex value of the chars. So my question at this point is why is Oracle12c putting the hex value as a string when I pass oracle::occi:Bytes.
Example Code using half the actual length and setBytes:
static void Run(const std::string &connectionString, const std::string &user, const std::string &pwd)
{
Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment();
Connection *conn = env->createConnection(user, pwd, connectionString);
Statement *stmt = conn->createStatement("UPDATE my_customers SET first_name = :1 WHERE customer_id = :2");
std::string s("GEO\0RGE ", 20);
oracle::occi::Bytes bytes((unsigned char *)s.c_str(), 10, 0, env);
stmt->setBytes(1, bytes);
stmt->setInt(2, 10);
try
{
oracle::occi::Statement::Status status = stmt->execute();
}
catch (oracle::occi::SQLException &e)
{
std::cout << "Error " << e.getErrorCode() << ": " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
conn->terminateStatement(stmt);
conn->commit();
}
Accessing the Database After the Update :
SELECT first_name FROM my_customers WHERE customer_id = 10;
47454F00524745202020
NOTE : This query did not wrap with rawtohex-- this is the actual char array value in the database.
Here is the table definition:
DESCRIBE MAIN_USER.MY_CUSTOMERS
Name Null Type
------------------------------ ---- --------------
CUSTOMER_ID NUMBER(10)
FIRST_NAME CHAR(20 CHAR)
Here is our Oracle instance information :
Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, Real Application Clusters, Automatic Storage Management, OLAP,
Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing options
We are using Oracle occi client 12.1 64bit
A:
For those that may stumble upon this, I ended up talking with Oracle Support and they told me there wasn't a way to do what I wanted (as expected) however the Byte workaround got us closer and we were able to take the hex string being passed in by the setBytes and turn it into raw data and then convert that raw data to a varchar2 which ended up "working" -- however I don't know what implications we will run into later, but so far it seems to work.
Code:
static void Run(const std::string &connectionString, const std::string &user, const std::string &pwd)
{
Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment();
Connection *conn = env->createConnection(user, pwd, connectionString);
Statement *stmt = conn->createStatement("UPDATE my_customers SET first_name = utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(hextoraw(:1)) WHERE customer_id = :2");
std::string s("GEO\0RGE ", 20);
oracle::occi::Bytes bytes((unsigned char *)s.c_str(), 20, 0, env);
stmt->setBytes(1, bytes);
stmt->setInt(2, 10);
try
{
oracle::occi::Statement::Status status = stmt->execute();
}
catch (oracle::occi::SQLException &e)
{
std::cout << "Error " << e.getErrorCode() << ": " << e.what() << std::endl;
}
conn->terminateStatement(stmt);
conn->commit();
}
Then checking the database:
SELECT rawtohex(first_name) FROM my_customers WHERE customer_id = 10;
47454F0052474520202020202020202020202020
So it seems to work

The bleed factor is multiplied by thrust to give a resulting thrust
after losses. This can represent losses due to bleed, or any other cause.
Default value is 0. A common value would be 0.04.
Nozzle position, for variable area exhaust nozzles, is provided for users
needing to drive a nozzle gauge or animate a virtual nozzle.
This model can only be used with the "direct" thruster. See the file:

s2orc | of VOCs, but was also significantly affected by fermentation conditions. In our previous study, 59 VOCs were identified in the T. melanosporum submerged fermentation system 15 , and the fermentation conditions had greater impact than the truffle species on the profile of VOCs 16 . Among the fermentation conditions, the absence of a major carbon source of sucrose and the shift of culture temperature had the most significant effects on the profile of VOCs, followed by the absence of yeast extract or peptone 17 . Among these VOCs reported from the Tuber fruiting-bodies, the volatile organic sulfur-containing compounds (VOSCs)
such as methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, 3-(methylthio)-propanal, and 3-(methylthio)-1-propanol, were also first detected in T. melanosporum submerged fermentation by the addition of 5 g/L L-methionine 18 . These results indicated that it was possible to adjust the VOC profile by control of fermentation conditions.
It has been shown that the overall VOCs-profile contains a large number of VOCs. Accordingly, only certain VOCs are key contributors to aroma 19 . Therefore, the screening and identification of the key VOCs plays an important role during an aroma production process. The traditional method, composed of the following three steps, is typically used. First, the VOCs extracted from each fermentation sample are quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Second, the flavor dilution (FD) factor for each VOC is determined by aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). The samples are often diluted in increasing dilution order (i.e., 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, etc.) and are then evaluated by the sniffers 19 . The flavor dilution (FD) factor for a particular VOC is determined by identifying the greatest dilution level that still provides detectable aroma. For example, if a diluted sample of 1:16 could be detected by sniffers but could not be detected at a 1:32 dilution, the FD would then be 16. Third, the odor activity value (OAV) is used to study the contribution of each key VOC to the original aroma. The OAV of individual compounds is calculated as the ratio of its concentration in the fermentation samples to its odor threshold 20 . It is well-accepted that an individual VOC with a higher FD factor will have a greater contribution to aroma, and a higher OAV indicates a more active role in the aroma attributes [21][22][23] . However, this traditional method is based on gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) technology, which is time-consuming and laborious for screening and identifying the key VOCs during production of microbial-producing aromas. The considerable labor and time needed for screening could be due to two main reasons. The first is that we do not know exactly what types of aroma attributes are favorable, and the second is that using olfactory sense to screen the key VOCs for aroma from many fermentation samples is very challenging.
To address this problem, taking the T. melanosporum fermentation system as a typical example, a new strategy, presented herein, was developed to screen and identify the key VOCs for aroma by combining the aroma evaluation method with principle component analysis (PCA).

You make some great points, and OP valid ones too. It's impossible to make a programme that absolutely everyone will be able to follow to the letter. There's a big difference between someone who's come from a base of relative fitness but no running, and someone who's overweight and unhealthy, but C25K does a decent enough job of catering to both. Regarding going slow, that's definitely a skill you need in running. The pace I automatically run at coming from a sporting background is not conducive to going any kind of distance for a length of time, and the increasing interval length taught me to slow tf down! What this sub does really well is people are open about their failures and there's no stigma about having to repeat days, weeks, or the entire programme is! It can suck on a personal level to not complete a day, but you're *always* going to have bad runs, and I think that's as important to learnt to deal with as running for 30 or 40 minutes straight. It's by no means a perfect programme for all. It assumes a certain base level of fitness that not everyone has, and the rate of progression on some weeks is a bit more than a lot of people can handle. But in the end it's about building endurance from a minimal level thereof, and not about the technicalities of running.
If you have to count how many times you've helped people to make yourself feel like a better person, you're missing the point of helping people. Pay it forward in infinite ways. Helping people isn't just about feeding the homeless and helping the elderly. It's about being sensitive to peoples needs, and knowing when enough is enough. It's true, people die every day. Just because all of them can't be acknowledged on a national or global level doesn't mean that you have the right to slam on the ones that were.

s2orc | Batik Biennale event with the aim of maintaining the title of Yogyakarta World Batik City. The result, Instagram the way easy to distribute quicly to promote JIBB Event with any features.
I. INTRODUCTION
The City Government of Yogyakarta is intensively maintaining the culture in Yogyakarta [1]. Website that the Governor of DIY will provide support to activists, observers, and preservers of the cultural heritage of DIY ancestors. One of them is the National Crafts Council (Dekranas) DIY to promote batik as an Indonesian cultural heritage by organizing the 2018 Jogja International Batik Biennale event to retain the title of Yogyakarta as the World Batik City given by the World Craft Council (WCC).
In 2018, the JIBB event was held for the second time with a significant increase compared to 2016. The arrangement of this event cannot be separated from marketing communication activities included in the activities of below the line [2]. The success of the 2018 JIBB event is closely related to the promotion strategy implemented at the 2018 Jogja International Batik Biennale event, especially through new media that is able to facilitate the promotion of international cultural events. [3] sais if there are three principal ways (no alternative) to capitalize on the strengths of social media for brand-building purposes, having first fully understood their particular functional dynamics. These approaches are the following:
Using existing social media in public relations programs to reach new online opinion leaders, such as bloggers and podcasters, and inform them about products and services, societal initiatives, or innovations; 2. Using social media to listen to the voices of the stakeholders in discussions focused on topics relevant to the firm; 3. Initiating direct interactive platforms, feeding them with input from employees and managers, and using these one-to-one and many-to-many forms of communication to establish, maintain, and reinforce the brand's connections, image, and reputation. The presence of social media can facilitate its users in communicating, accessing information, and self-actualizing; one of the vivid examples being Instagram. As the data obtained from the results of the Hootsuite survey, Instagram with 62 million users is ranked 4th in terms of social media platform with most users in Indonesia in 2019 [4]. The number of social media users, especially Instagram in Indonesia, can support the dissemination of information, including in promoting international events. The event marketing section is an important part. This will relate to the number of visitors or participants at the event to be held. The number of visitors will be influenced by how information about the event reaches the precise target. So it takes detailed planning on the promotion of the event. Instagram is getting popular as an application that is functioned to share photos, resulting in the increasing number of users that jumped into the business account that promote its products through Instagram [5] Instagram is a photo sharing application and taking pictures or photos that apply digital filters to change the appearance of photo effects, and share them on various social media services, including Instagram itself. Instagram has five main menus, all of them | 512 |
