till called for?"
"Yes."
"I sent one yesterday, and expected an answer. Is there any for either

"No."
"Thank you," said Nansie, and walked out of the office, and set her
face towards the caravan.
The female clerk looked after her sympathizingly. There was a love
note in her voice, and the post-office girl had a little sweethearting
of her own on hand.

THE SQUATTER’S DREAM
_A STORY OF AUSTRALIAN LIFE._
CHAPTER I.
“Here in the sultriest season let him rest.
Fresh is the green beneath those aged trees;
Here winds of gentlest wing will fan his breast,
From heaven itself he may inhale the breeze.”—_Byron._
Jack Redgrave was a jolly, well-to-do young squatter, who, in the year
185—, had a very fair cattle station in one of the Australian colonies,
upon which he lived in much comfort and reasonable possession of the
minor luxuries of life. He had, in bush parlance, “taken it up” himself,
when hardly more than a lad, had faced bad seasons, blacks, bush-fires,
bushrangers, and bankers (these last he always said terrified him far
more than the others), and had finally settled down into a somewhat too
easy possession of a couple of thousand good cattle, a well-bred, rather
fortunate stud, and a roomy, cool cottage with a broad verandah all
covered with creepers.
The climate in which his abode was situated was temperate, from latitude
and proximity to the coast. It was cold in the winter, but many a ton of
she-oak and box had burned away in the great stone chimney, before which
Jack used to toast himself in the cold nights, after a long day’s riding
after cattle. He had plenty of books, for he did not altogether neglect
what he called his mind, and he had time to read them, as of course he
was not always out on the run, or away mustering, or doing a
small—sometimes very small—bit of business at the country | 512 |

ARLINGTON -- On locker cleanout day, only a handful of Rangers performed the chore during the hour Thursday that reporters and TV cameras were allowed in the clubhouse.
Pitcher Cole Hamels seemed bemused to have folks encircled around his locker stall, filming his every move and politely waiting to interview him. Like vegetarian vultures.
"This right now is pretty creepy, what you guys are doing," Hamels said. "I hope this is not how you guys do it every year."
Actually, it is, but after crushing postseason ousters, the latest being Wednesday's hellish 6-3 loss in Toronto, most Rangers clear their lockers before or after creepy hour.
Hamels, acquired from Philadelphia on July 31, brings a different perspective, one his new team certainly could use right now. While veteran Rangers and disappointed fans might see a snake-bitten franchise, Hamels sees hope.
Why wouldn't Hamels see upside after joining a team that was projected to finish under .500 after losing ace Yu Darvish in spring training, a team that was 49-52 and in third place when Hamels joined it, yet rallied to win 88 games and the West Division?
"I better understand what we have here," Hamels said. "We have a lot more young guys that are ready than I knew. We have Yu Darvish coming back. We have Adrian Beltre, hopefully at 100 percent next year. You get the feeling that there is a great team in here.
"You have guys who know how to play, and there is a relentlessness. They play through injuries. They fight through things. They don't stop. It's special, and it's also very rare."
Hamels, 31, knows what a special team looks like. He made the Phillies' roster in 2006 at age 22, competed in his first postseason the following year and was World Series MVP in 2008.
He pitched in five postseasons for Philadelphia, but none since 2011. So, yes, the North Texas grass looked a lot greener to Hamels in late-July, when he declared the Rangers still in the playoff hunt.
"I think we learned a lot about each other," Hamels said. "It's going to lead into what we can do next season."
In July 2010, the Rangers acquired another 31-year-old left-hander, Cliff Lee. He was a major reason the franchise earned its first World Series berth that October.
Lee, too, spoke optimistically about the franchise's future. His wife, Kristen, said she loved that Arlington was easy travel distance from their home in Arkansas. But Lee was a free agent. He chose to return to Philadelphia, in part because of his rapport with fellow pitchers Hamels and Roy Halladay.
Hamels is under contract with the Rangers through 2018, at $23.5 million per season. Texas also holds an option for 2019.
"I truly look forward to not only next season, but the next couple of years," Hamels said.
Darvish underwent Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery in March. Based on the track records of players returning from that surgery, Darvish might not pitch until after the All-Star break.
Hamels said he is well aware of | 512 |

So the angel had to push Crowley away sometimes, knowing he was hurting them both by doing so. But he knew the demon understood why he did it. So he slowed down for him. Taking a step back again. Patiently waiting for Aziraphale.
Crowley had invited Aziraphale to a funeral. It wasn’t what they usually did, neither of them having lot’s of contact to humans, but Crowley had made an exception for one. Freddie Mercury.
Aziraphale didn’t know the man well, but he understood why Crowley was so drawn to him. Sometimes Crowley would tell him about Freddie. He had been a great friend for the demon and that made the fact of the early passing even harder.
Aziraphale immediately agreed to come along not wanting Crowley to go through this alone. By not associating with humans a lot they were able to avoid grief most of the time. But when it was there, it was even harder.
They were sitting in the big hall in silence. Crowley was lucky they didn’t decide to do the ceremony in a church, avoiding another tap dance. The location looked very similar to one nevertheless.
They sat far behind, trying not to catch anyone’s attention. Neither of them were good with that. Crowley more than Aziraphale, but the demon wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone.
He looked absolutely miserable. He slouched even deeper into his seat than normal, nothing appeared to be able to make even the faintest smile appear on his face. Aziraphale, who was usually the very emotional one of the pair, tried to keep it together to offer Crowley something to hold onto. Some kind of support.
The ceremony went on. Many people were talking in the memory of the great things Freddie had done and also the hole that was now left behind inside them. It was getting more and more difficult to not let the tears take over.
When Aziraphale glanced to his side, he saw tears silently streaming down Crowley’s cheeks. He had never seen Crowley cry before and seeing him now was absolutely heartbreaking.
Aziraphale couldn’t hold back. He had to comfort Crowley.
So he placed his hand softly on top of Crowley’s.
The demon glanced to his right, looking at Aziraphale with a grateful expression. He turned his hand around and let their fingers entwine. Aziraphale squeezed their hands reassuringly, a small smile on his face.
They continued to listen to the ceremony like that, hands linked and neither of them thinking of letting go for even as second.
As it came to an end, they left the building, being one of the last ones to reach the garden. Their hands were still linked but Aziraphale knew Crowley needed the support right now. He led them outside, to the side, in the shadow of everything else around them.
Aziraphale turned to Crowley, observing his face. His cheeks were still a little wet and he didn’t have to take if his glasses to know the enormous amount of sadness | 512 |

I totally understand the feeling :/ A piece of advice that my Mom gave me once is to look at other people--apparently looking down/away gives people the impression you're afraid or not friendly but looking at others shows confidence. (Not staring, but rather as if you're casually observing) It also may help you subconsciously. It's pretty awesome that you're pushing yourself to get out and do group activities. I think that the longer you keep it up, the easier it will get for you--you may just need more time to adjust to this situation. As difficult as it is, you could try to make small talk or even try to consciously smile more (I struggle with this) and it really helps! If you talk, even a little to people there it may help you feel like you fit in more--and once you start feeling that way, it may not matter so much to you whether people are watching or not. Try complimenting people! It's a way to make someone immediately warm up to you :D I am also struggling with similar feelings (at my job) but things are starting to get better. Good luck in your efforts!! And again, it's great that you're able to do this! Be proud of yourself :D :D
I’m in therapy at the moment, and on medication, I was making a lot of progress and in the last 3 months started feeling good about my life and about the future and my relationship.

The Problem with that is that people play differently than you and you should NEVER tell someone What to not do because it varies Through Play Style, The Best Tips to give for scythe players is to mess around with dodge reads after doing side light or neutral light with scythe, As it will make the player learn how to adjust to peoples Dodges. Advanced scythe combos that work for me but might not for some: Side light->Neutral light->jump->Neutral Air->Recovery->Diagonal Down Weapon Throw->Unarmed Down air. Also another good one is; Down Light->jump->Dodge Diagonal Up->Neutral Air. Remember, When Doing Neutral Air With Scythe,You Can Move ur Opponent To the opposite side u grabbed em in by holding the opposite direction key after hitting.Hope It Helped u/DubstepReject
In addition to the posts which advise to honor grind, gem/enchant/reforge, the next steps are pretty much practice. It takes time to familiarize yourself with your class in PVP settings. This isn't like PVE where there is a dungeon journal and skill usage are based off of a strict timer per se. Capping conquest points at the lower threshold is a given as you can usually find someone to cap 2s. Find, research, and create macros. Burst macros, defensive macros, CC macros. PVP at high levels sometimes come down to split second timing. You don't have time to be clicking anything. Keybind everything. Learn the other classes. You wouldn't charge blindly into an enemy now would you? Know the other classes, what are their skills, cool downs, and timers. Know what DR stack with what. After some more experience you will know what each class is capable of what what they are not. Knowing visual/audio cues as well as enemy kill sequences also will let you know when it is most dangerous. And for gods sake, adapt! Certain strategies will work against some compositions and some will not. The strategy, not tactics, will change facing mirror matches, DPS groups, DPS/healer groups, etc. Blizzard introduced talent swapping for a reason. Don't view your rating as a measure of skill, but as a measure of progress. Learn in-between games, not during the game. Reflect on why you lost AND why you won and what you could change to improve.

2. Stefan Della Rovere - Barrie ColtsMany hockey fans became familiar with Della Rovere during this years World Junior's, where his undisciplined play hurt Canada in some instances. When he's playing within the limits, Della Rovere is quite the effective pest. He skates hard and he plays hard. Rovere is one of the best body checkers in the OHL, but is also a beast on the cycle, where his strong lower body help to protect the puck in the corners. Rovere is also a solid offensive player who has the ability to make his linemmates better. As much as Rovere likes to stir things up, he can also back it up with his fists, with a total of 24 fights over the last 2 seasons.Here is Della Rovere scuffling with number 3 on this list, Matt Martin.

As a potential first round pick, Kassian obviously has a ton of offensive talent, but the kid loves to fight with 14 scraps this season, holding his own in the vast majority of them.Here is Kassian fighting IceDog forward Chris DeSousa from late last season.

Yes he did. There was no suggestion he didn’t until well after his death. So any source we have on the topic is too far separated to be treated as if it says anything about the historical Jesus. As for the early life of Jesus, there’s a reason nothing was written of it. It wasn’t important. It’s exactly what we expect for a figure like Jesus who only rises in popularity when he’s older. And there is no suggestion in the sources that he was anywhere besides Palestine. So this documentary simply is poor scholarship.
There are people saying they learned about sex on the internet from porn. Noooo! Please, read Dan Savage's column, or the Joy of Sex, or any *bona fide* sex manual. Porn is NOT REAL. It is designed to get people off using imaginary stories. Not that there's anything wrong with that! XD But, porn is to sex, like fairy tales are to real life.
> Never once has any US politician realized that they should be using this as a model on how to conduct business in america. It isn't that they don't realize, they just don't care. They are there to make the most money possible & that means catering to lobbyists. And lobbyists are being paid to carve out special exceptions - not lowering the overall corporate income tax. The good news is that we live in a global world with multiple governments. And countries like Ireland are stepping up the competition. Eventually, the US will cave, but it'll probably be long after everyone else due to our big ego. Hopefully these countries will make it easy to immigrate so we can easily move to another country with higher employment & pay.
Like it's been said, Fate route should give you enough of the Shirou/Saber story to get everything Fate/Zero was meant to lead up to. Unlimited Blade Works is a very Archer centric route and probably wouldn't add much to Fate/Zero when you get to it. It's still a good and very enjoyable route though. As for Heavens Feel, it has loads of Sakura bits, and is the route when Zouken comes out in force, which ties to a small portion of Zero's plot. Not necessary, but you could do it. My personal suggestion, watch Fate/Zero, possibly fall in love with Kotomine's characterization, do Heaven's Feel *after*, let Sakura's story arc after seeing her backstory hit you like a truck, and be amazed at the greatest character building Kotomine gets in the entire VN.

I can’t believe someone with such a cool username is really grilling me over something this ridiculous. Of course I don’t believe that this is what’s happening. I’m simply saying that I have noticed more vehicle fires and maybe there is a reason. If someone launched an investigation and discovered that ford was doing this on purpose or unintentionally I wouldn’t be shocked at the news. FYI Burt Macklin would probably say......”I will look into this immediately” and then go straight to the nearest Ford dealership and it would be hilarious. Upvote but ONLY because of ur name.
I find it amazingly ironic that people are flipping about about the tweet's attempt to obfuscate when this entire chains of replies is in relation to a post who's title obfuscates what Trump actually said (which is an entirely separate issue from how asinine his tweet was.) The title of this post would lead you to believe he only mentioned Delta, and attempts to disprove this false assertion with a photo that shows protestors being the real reason. It's the exact same garbage he pulls. It's the same methodology.

Good for you, but you got a bit lucky. Looking at eBay now, I can see the 13 piece Irwin for $140-150, second hand. There are a few NOS bits but they're not cheap either. If you buy second hand bits you take a risk, because they might either be used so much that there's no cutting surface left to sharpen or the previous owner has ruined it by sharpening from the wrong side (outside).

I used to work at a restaurant. It had a back exit with a staircase and no handrail. I saw a elderly couple struggling to go down the step and suggested to the manager that they should put a hand rail in. Well about a month later (still no hand rail) another eldely couple was going down the stairs and the woman fell. I called the manager over and I assisted the couple. Hand rail was installed the next day.

Kurdish birthrates are not that high and are falling faster than Turkish ones(you can check direct birth statics).Also more and more Kurds are getting interigated(half of them also lives in the Western parts of the country) while majority Kurdish areas are getting more urbanized.These mean that support for political process will increase among both ethnic Turkish and Kurdish populations so i really don't understand this birthrate circlejerk.
No. It was extremely tasteless, because it trivializes the struggle of trans people to be seen as who we truly are. Nobody likes to be misgendered, but most of us don't mind if you simply ask what pronouns to use. We get that it can be a little confusing sometimes, especially for those of us who are non-binary or even just gender non-conforming. But NOBODY who's trans is going to ask if you assumed their gender. We already know, because clearly you used gendered language, and have undoubtedly placed us in a category. The only question is whether or not you got it right. It's disappointing, though, because it shows that they probably don't have a good grasp on what gender is or how it's a spectrum.

Well I'm having less success with diagnosing the kernel crashes
than I'd like. The stack trace zooms off the top of the screen.
So I tried kdump. Enabling kdump crashes the (virtual) machine.
Then I tried netdump. It just doesn't seem to send any packets out
(I'm attempting to get netconsole to work, so the crash log
text is captured).
Before I loose more hair I figured I'd ask here what folks use
as a reliable mechanism to capture kernel BUG/OOPS

this work but if it'd help I'd be happy to use a real machine.

Hi Geert,
The entities were added basically for XML, with the expeactation that they
would all work with HTML. I always seem to be taking a different approach to
correcting them, but I think I agree that the consensus that the '
should be used instead. Perhaps if other weigh in on this, and if Lew has
time he might be able to make that change.
Depending on where my problem has occurred I have used Javascript to convert
it and I think for one scenario I added an XML entity declaration to the XML
(XHTML) file which I think managed to override the predefined XML entity.

I *finally* had some time again to look at how to properly redo Uniques in GHC. A few things stood out to me:
- The export-list of Unique has some comments stating that function X is only exported for module Y, yet is used elsewhere. This may be because these comments do not show up in haddock etc. leading some people to think they're up for general use. In my refactoring, I'm sticking the restriction in the function name, so it's no longer mkUniqueGrimily, but rather mkUniqueOnlyForUniqSupply (making the name even longer should discourage their use more). If at all possible, these should be removed altogether asap.
- The implementation is based on FastInts, which, on most machines nowadays, is a 64-bit thing. The serialisation in BinIface is explicitly based on Word32s. Aside from the obvious potential (albeit with a low probability) for errors, this lead me to wonder about 32/64-bitness. Is there a reason for 64-bit versions of GHC to write Word32s, or is this a historic thing? Must the interface-files be bit-compatible between different versions (32/64-bits) of the compiler? Lastly, is the choice of whether "this" is a 32 or 64-bit version completely determined by WORD_SIZE_IN_BITS (MachDeps.h)?
- There are a few libraries that are explicitly dependent on GHC, yet have their own versions of Unique. So far, I've seen this for Hoopl and Template Haskell. They have unboxed ints to do the job. I have not researched whether they manipulate them in any way, or just store things. If the former; I would like to call to reconsider this, because it seems like a poor separation of concerns toe me. If the latter, I think refactoring them to use Unique instead of Int# should be straightforward.
?
The point of refactoring Unique is to no longer have low-level optimisations of manually unpacking (and repacking using the MkUnique constructor), which should serve as a lovely test of how far the optimisations have come. Furthermore, it seemed that the use of characters to encode the domain was somewhat awkward, but I refer anyone interested to earlier posts on this list.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Objections?

data throught the serial port. I'm already able to send bytes to the

me, how to unpack the data it sends me so that it makes sense. Are the

Q:
Rearranging a DataFrame
I want to plot and compare sea levels from a large textfile which contains 3 types of sensors (enc,rad,prs). These sensors measured at close but different and irregular timestamps. The raw text file is like this
sensorid sensor stime slevel
100 rad 2007-11-24 18:47:00 8.0710001
100 rad 2007-11-24 18:49:00 8.066

99 prs 2007-11-24 18:57:00 7.7529998
I can easily put this file into a df DataFrame which have the time as index.
df=pd.read_table('data.txt',index_col='stime',parse_dates=['stime'])
sensorid sensor slevel
stime
2007-11-24 18:47:00 100 rad 8.071000
2007-11-24 18:49:00 100 rad 8.066000
2007-11-24 18:51:00 100 rad 8.060000
2007-11-24 18:53:00 100 rad 8.050000
2007-11-24 18:55:00 101 enc 6.008000
2007-11-24 18:55:00 100 rad 8.039000
2007-11-24 18:56:00 99 prs 7.760000
2007-11-24 18:57:00 99 prs 7.753000
2007-11-24 18:40:00 101 enc 6.066000
But I want a DataFrame with "enc", "rad" and "prs" as the column (and the sensorid) and the sea levels as the values with NaN when the sensor didn't measure for this timestamp.
I'm looking for a clever trick to do this rearranging in a single line ... a good test for oneliners.

[300 rows x 3 columns]
Data has got three multi-indices ['State', 'Location', 'Date']. For each state and location this data is available at monthly level. However, I want to convert it to weekly level and for each state and location. Something as follows,
In[119]: df
Out[119]:
Str% Val% Vol%
State Location Date

2018-02-04 0.043233 0.050797 0.050907
So far, I have tried using resample() function from pandas but it refuses to work with multi-index objects. Moreover, if I remove State and Location from index then my Date index has duplicated entries, which again breaks the resample() function. I have also tried using "Grouper" in the groupby() function as follows:
df= df.reset_index()
Weekly = pd.Grouper(key='Date', freq='W-SUN', closed='left', label='right')
df.groupby(['State', 'Location', Weekly]).first()
This generates following output,

Hello List,
We are slowwwwly moving from FWK-based Tivoli to ITM6. We are planning
to use s/w dist. (cm 4.2.3) to install OS agents on our current Tivoli
endpoints, and we had the crazy idea that we'd like to name the OS agent
the same as the EP label. On Unix this appears to be straighforward - we
edit the .../config/ux.ini (or lz.ini, or whatever) and add
CTIRA_SYSTEM_NAME=<eplabel> and CTIRA_HOSTNAME=<eplabel> as part of the
SW pkg.
On Windows this seems more complicated. It looks like the
.../TMAITM6/kntcma.ini contains the CTIRA_HOSTNAME parameter, but
setting this param (and bouncing agent) has no effect on an
already-installed windows agent. The agent name is apparently in the
registry, and it can be changed by either editing the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Candle\KNT\Ver610\Primary\Environment) or
by 'overriding local variables' via MTEMS gui. Maybe it would be
possible to edit the registry key with the sw pkg, but we hoped there's
a better way.
Q: Is there a silent install param to control the agent name of windows
agent at install time?
Q: Is it ill-advised to bother changing the OS agent names (will it
create headaches for us later)??
Thanks!

Hello Yocto Members,
I am looking into xen-hypervisor and have downloaded the meta-virtualization layer and updated bblayers.conf to pull in the layer. However I am unsure how to proceed:
1) How do I configure the meta-virtualization to use Xen hypervisor
2) What target do I build/bb file do I build.
I usually build either:
bitbake core-image-minimal ==> Standard Linux for our HW board
bitbake core-image-XXX--XXX ==> Standard Linux for our HW board + additional application layers.
I am however unable to understand the connection between the images I currently build and the Xen-hypervisor, for example:
recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt_1.2.19.bb:# xen-minimal config
recipes-extended/images/kvm-image-minimal.bb:DESCRIPTION = "A minimal kvm image"
recipes-extended/images/xen-image-minimal.bb:DESCRIPTION = "A minimal xen image"
What are above bitbake recipes, should I build xen-image-minimal.bb instead of core-image-minimal or....
I have looked at:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_with_KVM
and the two README files:
./docs/00-README
./README
but there is not much information on Yocto and xen-hypervisor so I am unsure how to setup the build system.
Appreciate any advice or input.
Best regards

Slightly entertaining, could have used a better reader. I do love a Cinderella story.
Edit a few hours later:
Whoo-boy. This is pretty terrible. The beginning was somewhat promising, but it's really quite depressing and ridiculous. I think that's the point the author is trying to get across--the ridiculousness of fame and gorgeousness... but seriously, the point was beaten to death with a baseball bat two hours ago.
Abandoned!
2.5 stars. I really enjoyed the writing, but I was bored by the story. Nothing really happened in over 350 pages. The story was predictable and I didn't find anything particularly original in it.
The characters were fine, even though I was a little annoyed with the main character Alina. She can't access her powers to save hundreds of people but she can when her love interest is threatened? I am so not impressed.
I understand why this appeals to some people, but I have read too many similar stories already.
a beutiful ending to a beautiful trilogy. Cassie has done a magnificent job in making us all, the fandom, drowning in feels. not that's a bad thing.
I love how she put it all up in the end, and it was just makes senses. and I'm glad it ends that way. I would ask no other alternate ending.
this is it, the last book in the trilogy. and I have to admit when I read the very last word and then closed the book, I feel hollow. I continued the cry that has just stop, even now. feeling lost in this matter of final-book-in-the-series thing.
I might still feel lost until infinite amount of time. but thank you, Cassie. thank you very, very much.
I hate and love you at the same time. you're one of my fave author!!
Read this years ago and LOVED it and just came across the prequel recently. Now I am going to reread the entire series because it was that good. But I am a sucker for Japanese history and I love the fantasy elements here. Wonderfully blended and a rousing good tale!
This is the second book that came out exactly how I expected and hoped. Amazing story. When I started to really reading it I finished it in a week. The story is interesting, the characters awsome and even if around page 200 thew author reveals the whole plot, the rest of the book is not boring at all. This is a book I recommend to all of you.

Okay, so the first time I tried Crest white strips was back in 2000 or so. I must admit, I wasn't impressed with the results at all. So I never tried using them again. However, I recently bought these Crest Whitestrips Premiums, and I am amazed with the difference already! I've been using them for about 4 of the 7 days, and the difference is already quite dramatic! I am thoroughly impressed with how much whiter my teeth are, and it's quite a bargain. I wasn't expecting good results from these, and was planning on paying around $150-200 to get it done at the Dentist's office. I would have expected results around these (and it's not even done yet).. I'm 26 and most of the stains were yellow from food/coffee/wine/and smoking... yellow stains.
2 Negatives though: 1. There are 14 packets and you're supposed to use them twice a day. Each packet has an upper and a lower. I didn't like having both strips on at once, especially because the lower ones are kind of hard to keep on and are kind of uncomfortable... so with me anyway, it meant a total of 2 hours of wearing strips, and they're kind of awkward and taste a bit funky... but it really isn't too bad and the results are definitely worth it
Also, it didn't work nearly as well on my bottom teeth, but that may be an individual case for me, as my bottom teeth seem to have worse enamel loss than my top teeth (I grind my teeth in my sleep)
Anyway, overall, I highly recommend them, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try for the $30 they cost (well that's what I got them for from Target) before spending $200 or so at the Dentist's office
The first thing that I came away after hearing this EP was how well it was mixed and produced. Melissa's voice sounds incredible, even got goosebumps when I first heard it.
I've had the privileged of getting to see them live numerous times this year, so I was already familiar with the songs. "A Love Like Lament" became a quick favorite though, "Oh! My Apparition" is already a classic. "Composure's of Insanity" has some of the catchiest guitar riffs.
Overall a great effort by a great band and it shows, you will not be disappointed.
Love her series & wanted to get copies to fill in missing pieces.

realnews | make a certain politician seem like the best choice. Many believe certain political parties, ideologies and policies are inherently good or bad for markets. They buy into notions of one party being “pro-business” whilst another is the opposite. However, lost in the shuffle is that politicians are marketers. They play on emotions and peddle certain views or agendas to advance their political careers. Their platform isn’t necessarily what they will do—it is generally what they believe will garner them the most support at the polls. Many, even some quite famous ones, have completely shifted their views over time. From anti-austerity Greek politicians endorsing cuts and privatizations to American presidents reversing course on tax promises, history is littered with examples where talk doesn’t match action.
We believe markets don’t care about personalities and have no demonstrable preference for any political party or ideology. There is no such thing as an inherently market-friendly political leader or government. Governments from both ends of the political spectrum are equally capable of enacting policies markets like and dislike. Traditionally, investors commonly think parties from the political right (or centre-right) are pro-market, whilst those from the left (or centre-left) are not. (Though these monikers are increasingly hard to pin down, given the fact global populism doesn’t neatly fit either.)
For example, let’s consider America due to its long history of equity returns. In our experience, most investors believe the Republican party is better for equities than the Democratic party. Yet since 1926, the US S&P 500 averaged 14.8 per cent in years a Democratic president was in office versus 8.8 per cent for a Republican.[i] We aren’t arguing Democrats are actually better for equity markets. Rather, we think it simply means the standard notion of a presumed pro-business party being better is off. Throughout Europe and the world, both sides have governed during strong bull and awful bear markets. There is no way to sort out if one party or the other is better for the markets. Further, there is no counterfactual—no “control set,” in scientific terms. So you cannot know with clarity what would have happened to markets if the opposing party or a different politician were in power. In the Western World, the private sector drives economic activity—and businesses can be very adaptable and resilient. It is difficult to know sometimes whether government actions aid or impede the economy—even those designed to help. Moreover, a single party doesn’t run many major governments. Therefore, even if you could sort out the impact of politics cleanly, it may not be entirely clear who should get credit—or blame—for what the market does.
Whilst party and personality aren’t key to markets, that doesn’t mean politics have no impact. In the developed world, what matters most is legislative risk. What is the likelihood a government, regardless of party, passes something potentially altering property rights, which could discourage risk-taking and harm markets? Because radical legislation can heighten markets’ risk aversion, we believe gridlock—politicians generally in disagreement and unable to pass new laws—is typically good. It reduces the likelihood they pass extreme legislation. | 512 |

Clay seems to read Hannah's mind in a few passages, which is not believable at all. Also, there are many mistakes, for example, Hannah supposedly can't say "suicide" and she uses it once. Ok, no problem with that, but then she uses it again and acts as if it's the first time in the tapes she's ever used that word, when it's not.
I would give it two stars but I liked the idea of the novel. I just didn't like how it was put together and the message it sends about suicide and teenage angst.
Still one of my favorites
Normally I'm a sucker for time travel, but this book read like a history lesson. And...yup, turns out the author is a History Professor from France. Congratulations, teachers will use your book to make class slightly more bearable. I probably could've finished if I'd stuck it out, but there are a great many things I "could" do if I really set my mind to it. Like read a calculus book, perform my own root canal, etc.
A BOOK TO READ AGAIN AND AGAIN.
NEVER WAS THAT OLD SAW MORE APT THAN WITH THIS BOOK.
EXCEPT THAT ONCE READ YOU WILL NEVER ACTUALLY STOP READING.
YOU`LL JUST KEEP DIPPING INTO IT`S WORLD AT RANDOM ; A WORLD-STACK OF DENSELY PACKED MAPS; OF IDEAS AND ASSOCIATIONS THAT JUST AMPLIFY YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING, NOT JUST OF THE BOOK AND THE GREEKS AND OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THEM , BUT OF UNDERSTANDING ITSELF .
IT`S LIKE A MEDITATION MANTRA OR MANDALA FOR COMPREHENDING THE FORMATION OF THE WESTERN MIND(OR REALLY OF ONES OWN MIND).
IT DOESN`T CONTAIN THE WHOLE PAST UNIVERSE BUT IT CONTAINS PASSAGES THAT DO.
THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO OPEN YOU UP TO EMOTIONAL/INTELLECTUAL REALIZATIONS THAT YOU WOULDN`T HAVE
MADE WITHOUT IT.OR THAT YOU FORGOT.
THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THAT I KEEP GOING BACK TO AGAIN AND AGAIN LIKE A (PARCHED)HORSE TO WATER ,
THAT ILLUMINATE CREATIVE MEMORIES AND RE-INVIGORATE EXPERIENCES OF SELF DISCOVERY .
IT RESONATES IN YOU AND IT AMPLIFIES YOUR MIND.
WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK.
I've been so excited to read The Indigo Spell, so I was super happy when it finally came out. It was an amazing book and I loved the romance!
One of the things that I've loved about all the Richelle Mead books I've read are how likable the main characters are. Sydney was awesome, and I liked how she makes rational decisions and takes the time to think both different things and the consequences they will have through. I think it makes her an even smarter protagonist. For Adrian, I could seriously probably write a whole paper about how amazing he is. Although he's not perfect, he has an amazing heart. The Sydney and Adrian scenes in The Indigo Spell also ended up being completely amazing :)

StackExchange | with the raster calculator in the ModelBuilder under ArcMap 10.
I need to combine two layers:
a drainage map (issued from a series of previous operations on a DEM) and
a slope map reclassed in 8 classes.
The formula used in the calculator is the following:
Con(("surf_drainee" > 12) & ("surf_drainee" <= 80) & ("pente_rclass" <= 24),"pente_rclass"+1, Con(("surf_drainee" > 20) & ("pente_rclass" < 24),"pente_rclass" + 2, Con(("surf_drainee" > 80) & ("pente_rclass" == 24), "pente_rclass" + 1, "pente_rclass")))
When I enter this in the calculator, using the buttons to enter the expression, it sends back a python syntax error. I discussed it with a colleague, who told me to write it out completely with the keyboard.
This works in the Raster Calculator, when used alone from the Toolbox. But when this is done in the ModelBuilder, it does not connect my two layers to the calculator, but creates numerous duplicates in entry to the calculator (pente_rclass (2), pente_rclass (3)...).
Is there a way of getting around this problem? I was thinking maybe a script could replace the raster calculator, but I don't really have the knowledge to set that up without a few hints.
A:
Try setting the input rasters as variables - see Building expressions in Raster Calculator, especially the example on ModelBuilder. Or perhaps try setting up your expression in the Con tool.
To pursue the python script option, see the code samples at the bottom of the Con tool help, as well as the multiple condition statement examples in the Conditional evaluation with Con help file.

// The image is located in default package of the classpath
Image image1 = new Image("/flower.png");
// The image is located in my.res package of the classpath
Image image2 = new Image("my/res/flower.png");
// The image is downloaded from the supplied URL through http protocol

goodreads | end a book in a series (you know what i mean). Why Jennifer, why?! I don't know if I'll be able to wait till the next book comes out, but I'll try.
I did enjoy this book very much, and thought it was very inspirational. This book is sort of short, so I felt like I couldn't get close with the characters, especially since it mostly focused on the storyline. This is funny to me because this book is about getting rid of your burdens, so you should get to know each of your characters BURDENS. But I didn't care that much for the characters in the end. I was however confused at the beginning, BUT thought, as I kept reading, that it was a unique way to start the book. I definitely didn't see THAT THING happening, so when it did I was sort of SHOOK. In the end, I did, again, enjoy this book and I'm glad I read it!
The ending..... WTF just happened!?
This is a retelling of a classic, which I have not read yet, so I can't make comparisons. Anyway, the story started well and interesting, then the supposed gothic horror suddenly became more focused on Juliet battling over which man to pick -- it's another love triangle, people! Eventually, I became fond of it, but the annoying thing was how Juliet easily jumped ships. One moment, it's all about the tension with Montgomery, Edward the next. Sigh.
If that wasn't disappointing enough, what irked me yet again was how the story could've survived as a standalone BUT NOOOOO, it has to be dragged on for too long to be a trilogy. Asdfghjkl The joke's on me though because I know I'm still gonna want to purchase the next two books. LOL
Fingers crossed, I hope Edward Prince would make it to book 2. Hehe :D
Well, this is a hoot and a half! Using the standard conversion of 2 stars per hoot gives this a solid 3 star rating.
Not a 5 star, but a really creepy 4 star! The story is about a family who, after the death of one of their twin daughters, decide to sell-up and move to a bleak, wind-swept island in the hebrides which they've inherited. They plan to work on the existing house and live a quiet life, starting anew. Of course, this can't happen. There's a very confusing mix-up regarding the twins' identities, and although I really liked the book, I have to admit I did get a little confused about who was actually on the page I was reading. Lots of secrets, lies and mysteries, with quite a twist at the end. Good summer read!
All of the characters are vivid and likeable. Daisy Fay has a strong voice and is extremely endearing. This is a really easy read and I enjoyed it all.
Very quick and easy read, but I found it really lacking. It went so deep into details that I thought the story suffered. I was disappointed that they needed to actually explain what the book was about in | 512 |

Thanks for the information. I'm running the tedgen program now and it's failing with a return code of 1. Looks like I don't have the setup_env.sh file anywhere on my system. The tedgen program looks for this file in /etc/Tivoli/ I also don't have a Tivoli directory in my etc directory.
Looking back through the install doc, it just talks about running this program for multiple things but doesn't really say how it's supposed to be there.
Do I need this??

Hi,
The review period mentioned in
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=67334
ended and helped to straighten out the migration process and prepare the
environment.
The site migration is scheduled to start Monday Feb 21 and will take 4-5
days. During this time the site is read-only and mails will be queued.
You will receive a message to activate your account as soon as the new

As far as I am aware, no generalisation of localic triquotient assignments to geometric morphisms has been developed. That's not for want of trying on my part!
A naïve approach would be to define a weak triquotient assignment on a geometric morphism f:F->E to be a filtered colimit preserving functor that is required to interact with the inverse image of f in a manner that mimics the localic case. For this approach to work in a way that is similar to what happens for locales we would need to have a similar way of characterising such filtered colimit preserving functors which, as far as I am aware, is not available (essentially due to the technical difficulty that sheafification is 'two step' for toposes, but only 'one step' for locales). The technical problems here are, in my mind, the same as the more well known problems associated with constructing an upper power topos.
My current view on how to solve this problem is to use localic representations of geometric morphisms. This requires us to re-state the theory of geometric morphisms as adjunctions between categories of locales and to develop 'topos theory' relative to these adjunctions. For example 'Grothendick topos' becomes 'category of localic diagrams of a | 512 |

The inventor sold the exclusive sales rights to a marketing company, who brought in Billy Mays to do the TV ad. That destroyed my business selling that product.

Is the Northern Ireland workforce 50-50 Protestant-Catholic?
CLAIM: The number of Catholics and Protestants in the workforce in Northern Ireland is at 50-50.
CONCLUSION: Recent data show a marked increase of Catholics in the workforce, to nearly as many of Protestants. However, the margin of error in the research survey could mean that the actual percentage is higher, or lower, by 2%.
In an article published by The Irish Times, it was reported that “for the first time, there was an even split in the religious background of the workforce in full-time employment in the North in 2014”, based on a report published by Professor Peter Shirlow, Director of Irish Studies at the University of Liverpool.
Meanwhile, using the same data, the Belfast Telegraph reported that the number of Protestants working full-time in Northern Ireland is predicted “to be eclipsed by Catholics”.
The survey is based primarily on figures from 2014, sampling approximately 2,000 households stratified by region to ensure proportional representation across Northern Ireland. It reports that the difference in the proportion of Protestants and Catholics in the working age population has fallen “from 13 percentage points in 1990 to one percentage point in 2014”.
According to the survey, in 1990, the religious composition of the population of working age was 54% Protestant, 41% Catholic and 6% ‘other/non-determined’; in 2014, the corresponding figures were 44%, 43% and 13%. Over this period, “the number of Protestants of working age increased by 3% (from 495,000 to 511,000), the number of working age Catholics increased by 35% (from 375,000 to 504,000), and the number of those classified as ‘other/non-determined’ almost trebled (from 53,000 to 149,000)” (p. | 512 |

CHAPTER I
“ROSEEN DHU”
LADY BETTY shaded her eyes with her hand and looked out on the rose
garden of Althorpe.
At her feet the lawn was close clipped and green; beyond was a garland
of many colors, roses by hundreds and tens of hundreds, the warmth
and glow of the sun upon them; behind them, the long avenue of limes
and beeches, and between the trees vistas of level land with the deer
moving to and fro.
The butterflies—a little host of them—whirled under the window, and
her ladyship smiled.
“Come, Alice,” she said, “’tis too fair a day to linger indoors. Bring
your lute, girl, and we’ll sing one of those dear Irish ballads where
none may hear it, to carp and scold,—none, indeed, but the rooks and
butterflies, or perchance the roses. What sayst thou, Alice, may not a
rose hear sweet sounds when it exhales such sweet perfume?”
“I know not, madam,” replied her handmaid soberly, as she laid aside
her needlework and reached for her lute; “but sometimes, truly, I think
’twould be well if ears were fewer in this world.”
“Ay, or tongues more gentle,” assented Lady Betty laughing, as she
stepped out of the window to the lawn, followed by her attendant.
Both were young girls, but youth and the rosy comeliness of youth
sat more lightly on the handmaid Alice, whose simple face and figure
suggested nothing more subtle than | 512 |

StackExchange | store images is the documents directory. You can save to it and then retrieve images from it. I use these UIImage extensions for saving and retrieving images:
extension UIImage {
func save(fileName: String, type: String) {
let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0] as String
if type.lowercaseString == "png" {
let path = "\(documentsPath)/\(fileName).\(type)"
UIImagePNGRepresentation(self).writeToFile(path, atomically: true)
} else if type.lowercaseString == "jpg" {
let path = "\(documentsPath)/\(fileName).\(type)"
UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self, 1.0).writeToFile(path, atomically: true)
} else {
}
}
convenience init?(fileName: String, type: String) {
let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0] as String
let path = "\(documentsPath)\(fileName).\(type)"
self.init(contentsOfFile: path)
}
}
Using this, I can store a file name rather than the entire path of an image using some data storing method such as Core Data.
Use:
someImage.save("SomeName" , type: "png")
if let image = UIImage(fileName: "SomeName", type: "png") {

Q:
Pandas (dataframe) - Select value in each row from several columns, that is in 1 of 3 lists with differing priority
I am trying to create a new column of values that depends on the values in other columns. For each row in each column of selected columns, compare the values across each column. Select the value that is a value within list 1, else select the value that is within list 2 otherwise select the value that is within list 3.
Together list 1 (L1), 2 (L2) and 3 (L3) contain all possible values. Also within each list select the highest value.
In reality the dataframe contains more columns that should not be searched, also the dataframe contains some more columns to be searched. In addition there are many more rows than given in the code here, also the lists (L1, L2, L3) contain many more values. The example here is just given as a MWE.
I arrived at this code:

L2 = [8, 3, 6]
L3 = [2, 4, 7]

B 5 6 9
C 9 1 4

Only two of six sensors work close to correctly. It randomly reports extreme temperatures. Right now 168f. Lux meter says I'm in the dark. It's about 30 lux at the sensor, it's reporting 8. UV has never reported a value greater than zero. Humidity seems to be working correctly as well as the motion.
Can't use the calibration because it's not just off by say 22 in lux. I add 22 but the brighter it gets the more it's off. How do you calibrate 0 UV? Can't calibrate the random numbers it occasionally spits out for temperatures.

Q:
Doesn't repository pattern in clean architecture violate Dependency inversion principle?
From what I have read and seen clean architecture assumes that you have some entities which know nothing about persistence though at the same layer as they reside there might be an interface which has a purpose to be a contract on how the entity should be read/updated/deleted.
// project Core
public class CarModel
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public void SomeImportantBehavior {}
}
public interface ICarModelRepository
{
CarModel FindByName(string name);
CarModel Add(CarModel carModel);
}
Meanwhile another layer will hold the implementation of the interface:
// project Infrastructure or Persistence
public class CarModelRepository : ICarModelRepository
{
public CarModel FindByName(string name)
{
return new CarModel { Name = name }; // the implementation is not really important here
}
public CarModel Add(CarModel carModel) {
// somehow persist it here
return carModel;
}
}
So I've got a question: doesn't repository implementation violate the DiP principle? Since it not only depends on abstraction but also on concrete implementation (CarModel in this case)?
Another example of this is here.
P.S. CarModel is a domain model with behavior.
A:
You are missing a bit the point of Dependency Inversion principle. This principle is supposed to reflect the decouple between different modules. In other words, you shouldn't instantiate your objects where you need them, but receive them as parameters. This is the base principle for dependency injection.
To make things clear, let's suppose that you have a class Controller that uses your Repository. Without DI, at first it would look like this:
class Controller
{
private CarModelRepository _repository;
public Controller()
{
_repository = new CarModelRepository();
}
public void DoSomething()
{
//use repository here
}
}
Looking in the constructor of this class, you can see that it creates its own dependency by doing
_repository = new CarModelRepository();
In this case, the Controller contains a dependency to the concrete CarModelRepository.
If you want to apply Dependency Inversion principle, then you will remove the instantiation there and inject the dependency as an abstraction. In this case, the controller will look like this:
class Controller
{
private ICarModelRepository _repository;
public Controller(ICarModelRepository repository)
{
_repository = repository;
}
public void DoSomething()
{
//use repository here
}
}
Notice that now the repository is ICarModelRepository which is the interface, not the concrete type anymore and the Controller does not create it (as a concrete dependency), but it receives it as an abstract dependency (the interface).
This is an example of what Dependency Inversion principle means and in your case, you are not sending a dependency to the repository, but you are sending an object which it needs to | 512 |
s2orc | 2 November 2021 / Published online: 2 April 2022RESEARCH ARTICLESilicon photonics · Slot-strip convertor · Multimode interference (MMI) · Polarization-insensitive
Integrated waveguides with slot structures have attracted increasing attention due to their advantages of tight mode confinement and strong light-matter interaction. Although extensively studied, the issue of mode mismatch with other strip waveguide-based optical devices is a huge challenge that prevents integrated waveguides from being widely utilized in largescale photonic-based circuits. In this paper, we demonstrate an ultra-compact low-loss slot-strip converter with polarization insensitivity based on the multimode interference (MMI) effect. Sleek sinusoidal profiles are adopted to allow for smooth connection between the slot and strip waveguide, resulting reflection reduction. By manipulating the MMI effect with structure optimization, the self-imaging positions of the TE 0 and TM 0 modes are aligned with minimized footprint, leading to low-loss transmission for both polarizations. The measurement results show that high coupling efficiencies of − 0.40 and − 0.64 dB are achieved for TE 0 and TM 0 polarizations, respectively. The device has dimensions as small as 1.1 μm × 1.2 μm and composed of factory-available structures. The above characteristics of our proposed compact slot-strip converter makes it a promising device for future deployment in multi-functional integrated photonics systems.
Introduction
Silicon photonics is emerging as an extensively universal platform due to their integration of various low cost, highdensity photonic devices and the maturity of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturing technology [1][2][3][4]. Silicon-based slot waveguides are constructed with a narrow low-index slot (SiO 2 or air) embedded between two high-index silicon waveguides. Owing to their unique optical field distributions [5][6][7], slot waveguides are irreplaceable in many applications, such as optical sensors [6], high speed modulators [8,9], polarization controlling devices [10][11][12], and nonlinear optical devices [13].
However, the propagation loss of slot waveguides, which is almost one order of magnitude larger than that of strip waveguides [14,15], poses serious challenges for realizing low loss photonic circuits based solely on slot waveguides. Thus, a compact slot-strip converter is necessary to effectively connect the slot waveguide-based functional device with other photonic components. To date, various schemes have been proposed to achieve high coupling efficiency for slot-strip converters. The adiabatic evolution structure [16][17][18] is widely used while the sharp tips cannot be avoided during gradual mode conversion, which pose great challenges for high-precision fabrication. For example, multimode interference (MMI) schemes [19,20] produce reflections due to mutation of the waveguide. Moreover, overly narrow slots (which also existed in Ref. [21]) and non-standard silicon thicknesses also make large-scale production extremely difficult, not to mention the advanced fabrication process. Furthermore, the compactness of most schemes is insufficient. Despite its numerous challenges, polarization multiplexing technology is still an effective approach to enhance the capacity of on-chip optical interconnects [22], making polarization-insensitive mode converters [20] paramount for applications that involve multiple modes [12,23].
In this paper, a polarization-insensitive slot-strip converter is proposed and demonstrated based on novel sinusoidal-profile MMI, which not only decreases the optical mode field mismatching but also has an ultra-compact device size. The insertion losses for TE 0 and TM 0 polarizations are | 512 |

I really, really liked this- it's one of the few romantic pegging-stories out there, I love how it puts the emphasis on the (loving!) relationship between hero and heroine...pegging is my pet-fetish, and I liked this scene tremendously.
It could have been lots longer, and I was a little bit sad that it was so short, but I loved it nonetheless.
I'm in a glass case of emotion... and I NEED TO SHATTER IT BECAUSE IT'S SHATTERING ME!!
Lol, see what I did there, oh God I'm still crying and I made that joke, this is bad!
If I didn't expect this series to be romance heavy, I would have hated it so much, but I just can't. It was so so so so so beautiful! GAHHHHHH!! I have so many feelings right now!
Okay, let's roll the PROs and CONs.
PROs:
- I cannot praise Mafi's writing style enough! It makes me feel like I'm eating my Nana's famous stir fry (and NOTHING beats my Nana's famous stir fry!)
- Oh, so you think that the last book had all the character development that Juliette went through, JUST WAIT TILL YOU READ THIS ONE!
- The switching up of locations was great, I also liked to see how the side characters bonded with the main characters and themselves through that process
- WARNER DOING WARNER! That's always a pro!
- How Juliette is no longer reliant on others, but she is strong enough to handle her power, authority and the revolution herself. And she even stands up for herself! I like that a lot!
- The main event kind of reminded me of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas (sequel to Throne of Glass) - There was build up, anticipation and not being sure what was going to happen and then it happens like BOMB, let's go home!
- Chapter 55.
- WARNETTE!
CONs:
- Adam being a dick. (Pardon my French)
- Kenji made a stupid decision in this book, and he was on a streak of being the most likeable character. I forgive him, but still a such dick move bro (sorry, more French).
- There were parallels of how Adam talked about Juliette in Fracture Me (the novella that comes before this book), he talks about Juliette as if she is weak and he is the powerful one. I think we could have done without his character, or at least him as a love interest. This series could have been done well without a love triangle still (but not saying that this series is bad, I still LOVE IT!)
- I would have loved to hear as much about the world and all of it's destruction just as much as we got in Unravel | 512 |

Q:
calculating ballast needed to offset wobble of a 1g unbalanced centerfuge spinning at 20000G's
So this seemed pretty straight forward at first, but then I wasnt too sure about gravity forces...
So.
centerfuge
2 samples
1 sample is 1gram heavier than the other
centerfuge at top speed is exerting 20000 gravitys of force on the samples
What kind of weight / ballast is needed to keep the centerfuge from wobbling off the table?
Id imagine this is a linear equation ... So if i could get the equation that would be TOPS!
Ballast should be placed on 4 corners on the outside of the sample
A:
the force caused by this disbalance (1 gram at 20 000 g) is the weight of 20 kilograms, assuming coefficient of friction of 0.5 you need at least 40kg to stop it from wobbling around. Somewhat more depending to the exact geometry (the centrifuge would act as lever).
It really sounds very unsafe. High speed centrifuges need to be shielded so that the fragments of failed rotor couldn't kill you.

Tools for css troubleshooting
I use firebug and the web developer firefox addon for most css debugging. Both are excellent tools. However, when there are bunch of style sheets and custom rules involved, I am unable to use either tool to see the sequence of rules application by which the final property value was derived.
Let me share an example to illustrate the difficulty I am facing within these tools. On one page of my site, the font-size of a particular section is larger than others. Firebug shows me all the css rules that were applied to the element. It also shows me the rules that were discarded; these are shown with a strike-through. This is great! But to find out the exact class rule responsible for the larger font size, I have to scroll through all the styles until I can spot a font-size rule that has not been struck through. There does not seem to be a "search" function for the css panel (unlike the html panel).
How do you handle these situations? Is there a better tool out there? Or, is there some way to search for "font-size that has not been struck through" in the firebug css panel? This may not be a huge issue for some but in my case I believe I can save lots of time if I can get past this issue. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Pile-CC | 47 percent approval. This poll marks the first time since the storm that Chrisite’s approval among Democrats has fallen below 50 percent.
Surprisingly, half of all public workers polled approve of the job the governor is doing. Christie has battled since with public sector unions – most notably the teachers union – since his early days in office.
“The governor continues to hold a strong post-Sandy standing among New Jersey residents. The only evidence of a dip comes from Democrats, and even that group remains relatively positive,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
The Monmouth University poll graded the governor in several areas, including post-Sandy recovery, education and tax relief. The governor received his strongest grade on storm recovery and his weakest on controlling taxes.
A full 72 percent of residents give the governor an “A” or “B” on his handling of Superstorm Sandy, but the governor does not fare as well when it comes to handling property taxes – among the state’s most prickly issues.
More than a third – 35 percent – of residents grade the governor a “D” or “F” in his efforts to reduce property taxes against just 27 percent who grade Christie an “A” or “B.”
In the areas of cost cutting and education, four in 10 residents give Christie an “A” or “B” while less than three in 10 give him positive grades on job creation.
On his handling of same-sex marriage, 30 percent of respondents graded the governor an “A” or “B” while 31 percent graded him “D” or “F.”
On gun ownership and control three in 10 give Christie an “A” (9%) or “B” (21%) while the same number grade the governor a “D” (12%) or “F” (19%).. Another 27% give him a “C.”
“Property tax relief is the only area where the governor’s grades have been consistently weak. This has little impact on his overall job rating, though, because New Jerseyans place most of the blame for this problem on the Legislature, past governors, and local entities,” said Murray.
The state Legislature has a slightly positive job rating – 39% approve to 34% disapprove among all residents and 38% approve to 36% disapprove among registered voters. That number is off slightly from earlier polls taken this year, but is still above pre-Sandy polls dating back to 2007 when opinion on lawmakers was heavily negative.

Single board computer to support laptop for scientific computations
I am looking for a single board computer to discover the possibility of using them as a computing unit to support my laptop.
I would like to try four or five of those SBCs and use them for scientific computations, and communicate the data to my laptop for visualization via ethernet cable. The platform should be able to run python, c, fortran and latex codes. I would like to have 10GB of free disk space to write data on each one of the SBCs after installations. Memory is typically the bottleneck during the computations. No WIFI, GPIO, HDMI, USB3.0 etc. is needed on SBCs.
I want to start with a budget around $300-$500 and I would like to know if somebody already tried it and could recommend me a SBC brand or specification and share some experience to help me start. The questions in my mind for the moment:
which linux distribution to achieve this with minimum ram and disk space
is SBCs of today make it reasonable to try this (LPDDRs, CPUs)
how to parallelise SBCs,
how to design the cooling system
etc..
After a survey, I have three options in December 2018: Rock64, omega2, parallella but I am not sure if any of these are good for my project or if I am missing something…
I hope this question helps many others who wants to start this.
Thanks for your help!
A:
As you mention that memory is a bottleneck in your computations I would imagine that the rock64 is the best solution with 4gb of memory.
If you want to make a cluster of these you will have to do some work creating a frame, compact power supply and integrate a network switch.
If you want a small high performance server with a lot of memory to do computations on I'd go with a single intel NUC.
But if you are looking for a cheap and simple way to get into cluster computing and experimentation I'd advice looking into a raspberry pi combined with the cluster hat.
This set up would consist of the following:
1 x Raspberry pi 3 B+ (4C 1.4GHz, 1GB RAM)
4 x Raspberry Pi zero (1C 1GHz, 512MB RAM)
1 x Cluster hat
5 x MicroSD card, as big as needed for each pi (8GB is more than enough for basic running)
Optionally, Cluster hat case
I have no experience with this set up yet but am planning to buy it at the end of this month so I have done my research.
The good bits:
Runs on a number of operating systems (raspbian linux is most common) and has a large community.
It's a palm sized 5 node cluster.
Everything powers from a single 2.5A USB power supply.
USB based networking and addressing integrated.
The Raspberry Pi 3 b+ has wireless connectivity build in (connect to your existing network or set up as access point for your cluster)

StackExchange | of the motor, it is to drive a propeller load with a known torque and RPM demand. Thus, I was mostly curious about whether I can trust a BLDC motor's torque-RPM curve from a manufacturer, given that they probably test at STP. And if so, what corrections do I make.
A:
Altitude brings with it two characteristics
reduction in ambient temperature (assuming some part is exposed).
reduction in pressure.
With decreased temperature comes increase magnetic strength. Take Samarium-cobalt, there is usually a +-5% change centred around 25C (-55 -> 105), however there is usually a +-5% manufacturing tolerance on the magnet strength. At first glance this increase in magnet strength (increase in Kt) is beneficial? However, is it of practical use? Just because the ambient is at -55C or -30C does not mean the rotor is going to be at that temperature.
Case 1. unit is continually operated from takeoff until altitude. The decrease in ambient will help with the cooling of the stator (copper and iron losses) and in turn keep the rotor cooler, but it had already been operating for an extended period of time and depending on your operating duty and loading, might not be significantly cooler.
Case 2. unit was un-powered during accent and then was power at altitude, with suitable soaking time. Yes the magents would be at their coldest and your system would benefit from the higher torque per current. However... usage will still still warm the stator and rotor up until it again stabilises like Case 1. It will take some time, a time associated with the thermal mass and thermal resistance.
A product I have worked on was driving against a mechanical drive chain. This presented a higher drag at cold temperature. At -55C Qualification testing the overall performance was lower than nominal - motor-drive was performing better but the mechanics were not. At +90C ambient the overall performance was lower than nominal - motor-drive was performing worse than nominal while the mechanics were slightly better. All within spec but a noted overall characteristic.
Pressure.
Pressure brings with it two characteristics.
A reduction in pressure means a reduction in air density and thus less air to push against to maintain lift.
A turboprop has operated upto 20km ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grob_Strato_2C ) and when you consider you are looking into characteristics up to 50,000ft (15km) and a "propeller load", this is something to consider.
At altitude the voltage breakdown characteristics also reduces. Pachen's curve. This means you could suffer from partial discharge or corona effects, if you operate at "high voltage" where high in this case is 1000V. This will drive improvements in winding insulation to ensure they do not break down. You have not stated the operating voltage thus this might not be a concern for you.

realnews | it Trash. The same principle works with leftward swipes: a short swipe left and you'll "Snooze" the message, saving it for later, and a longer swipe left lets you send it to a specific List or folder.
Here's how it looks in practice.
If swiping isn't for you, Mailbox has included the same action buttons in a small toolbar.
Snooze is by far the best feature of Mailbox. Instead of starring or leaving an important email unread so you'll remember it later, snoozing it lets you deal with an email without truly taking action.
For example, you can choose to snooze an important non-work email for later in the evening, and Mailbox will momentarily hide it, only to place it at the top of your inbox later that night. There are options to snooze messages until the weekend, next week, later today, next month, or anything in between.
If you use the Mailbox app for iPhone, you can snooze an email that requires a detailed response and send it to your desktop so it's waiting at the top of your inbox when you return to your work computer. If you need to address an email on the go, the reverse works too, so you can send it from desktop to mobile and it'll be waiting for you the next time you open the app on your iPhone.
Mailbox also learns from your actions, and its Auto-swipe feature picks up on your habits. Say you find yourself in a never-ending email chain. If Mailbox notices that you always send a certain promotional email to Trash, Auto-swipe might pop up and suggest sending all future messages from that company directly to Trash. It's a great way to cut down on annoying emails, and it all means less time spent in your inbox.
Mailbox's simplistic layout also applies to sending emails.
Composing an email brings up a white paper-like window while Mailbox dims the background.
If you need to multitask, you can simply move the window around or off to the side.
It's also important to note that Mailbox for Mac is also extremely fast. Messages pushed from mobile to desktop appear almost instantaneously. Mailbox technically only loads your email previews, giving it an edge over Gmail and other email clients that store cached versions of all your past messages.
So should you make the switch to Mailbox?
It all depends on the type of email experience you're comfortable with. If you already use the Mailbox iPhone app, it's a no-brainer, as the interconnectivity alone makes it worth it.
But if you prefer to click and see all the tiny details of an email client at one glance, Mailbox's streamlined layout might not be for you. Sure, it's simpler, but that can mean more poking around for less-used featured or settings. Also, Mailbox currently only supports Gmail and iCloud accounts, so Yahoo, Outlook, and Exchange users are out of luck. But the Mailbox team is thinking about adding support for Yahoo and Exchange in the future.

A pair of 25 mL samples was extracted from the culture broth periodically from cultures developed in the bioreactor or shake bottle (Table 1) in order to estimate their rheological properties. All samples were sheared at 25°C in a 25 mL Vessel-Helical ribbon agitator system ( Figure 2) coupled to the TA model AR-G2 rheometer with temperature control and with a maximum torque (T ) of 1.022 × 10 -3 Nm and a maximum rotational speed (N ) of 100 rpm. Data obtained for T and N were treated as follows to obtain n, K and ηe according to the method proposed by Brito-de la Fuente et al. [16].
Estimation of rheological properties n, K and ηe
The viscometric flow condition during helical ribbon agitation was maintained during all tests. A sample of 25 mL of the growth media was taken to measure the rheological properties in all experiments. High precision measurements of torque and impeller rotational speed for the given impeller geometry were converted into what is termed as a "process viscosity". From the applied rotational speed (N) and the torque measurement (T), a classical flow curve was obtained to apply the mixer

Open globe injuries are susceptible to infections, and an intraocular foreign body must be ruled out using a CT-only. MRI cannot be used because of possible magnetic intraocular material risk. Ocular ultrasound must also not be used due to the increased risk of pressure-induced damage from the probe. 3. Loss of vision and lack of ocular motility can be a sign of orbital compartment syndrome, which should be treated immediately. A special type of relatively common injury deserving close attention is the blow-out fracture, which occurs secondary to a sudden explosive increase of the intraorbital pressure transmitted to orbital bones, most often due to high-velocity ball-related injuries. The floor is the most vulnerable part of the orbit, but the orbital rim usually remains intact. 29 Blow-out fracture must be considered in the presence of typical signs and symptoms, which include diplopia (on upward gaze), limited upward gaze, tenderness at the infraorbital rim, decreased sensation over the inferior orbital rim, extending to the edge of the nose and ipsilateral upper lip (indicates infraorbital nerve injury). 29 30 Subcutaneous or orbital emphysema and crepitation may suggest a fracture of the maxillary sinus or breach in the lamina papyracea.

This study aimed to apply minimum-time variable-rate selective excitation (MinVER) to a presaturation pulse (PSP) with a high flip angle on 7 T time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (7T TOF-MRA), to attain a superior vesselto-tissue contrast (VTCR), short acquisition time, and minor off-resonance effect. An altered PSP modified by using the 90° flip angle (FA)-MinVER was implemented in the 7 T TOF-MRA, and its performance was evaluated with a signal profile and vessel-tissue contrast ratios and compared to the conventional PSP and 45 FA-TOF. The 90 FA-MinVER showed a similar signal profile to that of the conventional PSP and improved the vessel-tissue contrast ratios (0.313 ± 0.80) compared to all conventional types (45 FA-TOF: 0.088 ± 0.84, 90 FA-TOF: 0.203 ± 0.72). Moreover, this noteworthy approach achieved substantially reduced total acquisition time (5 min and 55 s) with a short repeat-to-time (28 ms), indicating that at | 512 |
reddit | make a case for rape here? I would ask you this: why is a policeman arresting someone and taking them to jail for a crime the same to you as a gangster threatening to kill your family members? We want policemen to arrest criminals, do we not? We may disagree with drug laws, but suppose that he caught her assaulting someone. We would certainly expect him to arrest her and take her to jail, no? It is not his will that he carries out in arresting her but the will of society. Do you agree with this? If you agree, then how do you still see the policeman as making the threat? It is not customized to each suspect, he does not decide the consequences or what constitutes an offense, he does not decide whether they are to be sentenced or not. He *does* have the choice to neglect his duty, but he may ask for a price. He may refuse to aid you if you do not pay his fee, but at that point, this is exactly the outcome that society wills: that a suspected criminal is arrested, put in jail, and brought to trial.
Or you can just matte it down with either a spray can or a brush on. I buy GW washes because I'm lazy. It's a pain to get other brands without having to order them and sometimes I'm deep into a project and I run out so I just want it now. Being able to walk into a game store 5 minutes from my house and just grab it off a shelf is just too easy. If you're not as lazy as me, and you want to do things right, I would recommend actually making your own washes! It's actually very easy from what I hear. [Here is a tutorial](https://youtu.be/dEkMnP6p08I) The materials aren't all that expensive and the quantity that you can make is huge plus you can make your own mixes. Just a thought.

The Khaama Press, an online Afghan site, confirms the drone went down due to technical problems and was not shot down by the Taliban.
Since these aren't the most well known and respected news sites, it's probably wise to take the reports with a grain of salt. Just as interesting as the U.S losing another drone is that the claim can now be made, and given the U.S.'s recent record, it's not entirely unbelievable. Regardless, it could be an interesting addition to the propoganda coming out of Iran recently.
Interfax also reports the drone crash via The Voice Of Russia. Interfax is a non-governmental news agency based in Moscow that says the crash occurred near Paktia, and the city of Ahmadabad.
At 3:15 EDT no major U.S. news agencies have picked up the report.
Since 2015, total entrepreneurial activity among women has increased by 10%, and the gender gap has narrowed by 5%, finds the 2016/17 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (the GEM) — a study that’s sponsored by colleges, universities and organizations from across the globe. Those results are based on a comparison of the findings for the 63 economies that were polled in both the 2015 and most recent study.
Also, over the last year, the study says 163 million women were starting businesses across 74 economies worldwide, while 111 million were running established businesses.
One of this year’s GEM report co-authors, Massachusetts-based Babson College professor Donna Kelley, highlights the “contribution [women entrepreneurs] make toward the growth and well-being of their societies.” They not only support their families but also provide “employment for those in their communities, and products and services that bring new value to the world around them,” she says.
Looking at gender equality and perceived opportunity, Canada ranks in the middle of the pack, according to the GEM report. The country’s female/male total entrepreneurial activity ratio is 0.66 and it ranks 33/64, while its female/male opportunity ratio is 1.03 and it ranks 16/64.

Report highlights
The rate of total female entrepreneurial activity was lowest in countries such as Germany, Jordan, Italy and France (at 3%), compared to 37% in Senegal, a country on Africa’s west coast.
In five economies in two regions (Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam in Asia, and Mexico and Brazil in Latin America), women participated in entrepreneurship at equal or higher rates than men.
Ten percent of all female entrepreneurs surveyed operate their businesses on their own and have no intention to add any employees over the next five years — Europe has the highest frequency of one-person female business activity, meaning they have no intentions of employing anyone else.
One concerning trend is this: “As economic development and educational level increases, entrepreneurial participation among women declines and the gender gap increases,” says GEM executive director Mike Herrington. But, he notes, “[…] fewer women in highly developed innovation-driven economies have exited businesses” once they start them.

StackExchange | algorithms are hard to construct when you know the problem already, let alone when you don't. Bugs in almost correct algorithms often lie undetected for years. I hear that even good students typically fail to come up (on their own) with the correct definition of capture-avoiding substitution. In fact, PhD students (me included) and professors aren't exempt from these problem.
That's one reason why some (including one of the best textbooks on programming languages, Types and Programming Languages by Benjamin Pierce) recommend nameless representation (not quite combinatory logic, even though it has been used, but rather deBrujin indexes).
Proofs about it are subtle
It turns out that proofs about binding are no simpler than the implementation, as mentioned above. Of course, correct algorithms exist, and proof about them exist — but without advanced machinery, for each language using binding you need to repeat the proofs, and those proofs are simply very big and annoying if you use the definitions for binding on pen and paper.
To exemplify algorithms involved in metamathematics, consider the deduction theorem in logics, that allows composing a proof of $B$ assuming $A$ and a proof of $A$ to get a proof of $B$. To prove that theorem, you actually exhibit an algorithm that works on the syntax of the two proofs involved and produces the syntax for a proof of $B$. This algorithm needs to deal with binding.
Next, I looked up my best example of "what goes wrong if you try formalizing the standard definition". Russell O’Connor (who's on this site) formalized the first Gödel's incompleteness theorem in Coq (a theorem prover of the kind mentioned above) — and that theorem involves a logic (with all the relevant algorithms) in another logic (with the syntax of the first logic coded as numbers). He used the definitions which are used on paper and formalized them directly.
Search for "substitution" or "variable" and count how often they appear in reference to problems to get an impression.
http://r6.ca/Goedel/goedel1.html
I never use those definitions in my work, but each alternative approach has some downside.
Q:
Does more heat generation mean more wear and tear?
I read that hardware generally used on PC is not optimized for running Linux. That is the reason the machine emits large amount of heat and doesn't give the battery back up , that we will get while working on windows.
~REF
Does it also mean more wear and tear of the hardware (when using linux as compared when using windows ) ?
Note : I have personally experienced large heat emission while working with Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 11.xx on my laptop.
A:
The problem is not that the hardware is not optimized for running Linux; rather, it is that Linux device drivers are not optimized for taking advantage of all the power management features of the hardware.
Generally, you will see the most power management problems on Linux with graphics cards. Things like the motherboard, CPU, RAM, case fans, and hard drives are handled very well, and due to efficiencies they may even run cooler | 512 |

As the story begins, the bride is locked in a bathroom stall, the bridesmaids are trying to break the door down and the guests are getting restless. Three friends and their search for love and the meaning of life are the central plot of this fun read from Kim Gruenenfelder.
Nic, laid off from her job as a newspaper reporter, is getting married to hunky pro basketball coach, Jason. She very carefully rigs her bridal shower charm cake so that she and her friends will pull the charm to best secure the future each wants. Seema has a huge crush on her best friend, Scott, but is afraid to act upon it for fear that it will ruin their friendship. Getting the chili pepper charm for a hot romance will be her ticket. Mel wants her boyfriend of seven (yes, seven!) years to finally commit and put a ring on her finger. The engagement ring charm will make sure that happens. Nic's love life is in good shape so she wants the shovel charm signifying a life of hard work which will get her back into the newspaper world.
Alas, as in most situations things don't always work out the way you want. Nic is devastated to get the baby carriage, Seema pulls the shovel and Mel gets the red hot chili pepper. Things go downhill from there as Nic's honeymoon becomes a "familymoon" with her stepchildren, Mel's boyfriend proves to be the jerk you think he is, and Scott seems to find true love with someone else. It would be hard for the reader not to enjoy the friendship and banter between the three women. This is a fun, quick read that you will enjoy. (Note to Ms. Gruenenfelder: there are too many four letter words that begin with "f." Diversify!)

Love the look and style of this shoe. I do slip out of the back of the shoe a bit when walking and need to insert the heel pads. I tried a smaller size but it was a little tight. I would say these shoes do run true to size.

Two North Korean athletes have set East Asian Games weightlifting records as the nation gathered its first gold medals at this year's regional meeting.
Rim Jong-Sim has set new games marks of 117kg in the 'snatch' and 148kg in the 'clean and jerk' of the women's 69kg weightlifting.
Her teammate Kim Un-Ju has taken gold in the women's 75kg weightlifting with a total score of 266kg, including a games record 'clean and jerk' of 153kg.
Another North Korean, Chun Mi-Jong, has taken gold in the women's 63kg category with a total score of 226kg.
But host country China has consolidated its lead in the medal table on the second day of the quadrennial games, with more than three times as many gold medals as its nearest competitor, Japan.
China, which has bested its competitors in each of the five previous East Asian Games, has gathered 31 gold medals to Japan's 10 as of early Tuesday evening.
The 10-day regional contest is being held in the port city of Tianjin in northern China.
This year's competition features more than 2,400 athletes from China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Guam, competing in 24 different sports, according to Chinese state media.
It is the last time the East Asian Games will be held in their current form, Xinhua news agency said, with the event due to be transformed into a youth games for athletes aged 14 to 18.

Queenslander Bree Arthur overcame tougher afternoon conditions to force her way into a share of the first round lead, as young and established stars shone at the NSW women's golf Open on Friday.
Arthur fired a six under 66 at the Oatlands course in Western Sydney, equalling the score of newly crowned Australian amateur champion Minjee Lee, fellow Australian European tour professional Stacey Keating and Sweden's Caroline Hedwall, the 2011 NSW Open champion.
Defending champion and New Zealand's world No.1 ranked female amateur sensation Lydia Ko was one stroke back.
Four-time major winner and British veteran Laura Davies was among a large group two shots off the pace.

StackExchange | $F$ contained in E such that $f$ is bounded on $F$ and $m(E$ \ $F)<\epsilon$.
My attempt:
Since $E$ is measurable there is a closed set $F$ such that $F\subseteq E$ and $m(E$ \ $F)<\epsilon$. Is $f$ bounded on this set? How do I show it? Or should I try a different approach?
A:
The Xiao's idea is pretty simple and straight.
You can write
$$\{ f = \infty\} = \bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty} \{f>n\}$$
Note that $\{f>n+1\}\subset\{f>n\}$. Then, using that $m(E) < \infty$ and that $f$ is finite almost sure,
$$m(\{ f = \infty\}) = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} m(\{f>n\})=0.$$
Now, given $\epsilon > 0$ there is a $n_0$ such that $m(\{f>n\}) < \epsilon$. If you let $F= \{f\le n_0\}$ you have $m(E - F) < \epsilon$ and obviously $f$ is bounded in $F$.
Q:
Extract part of String using regex and assign it to variable scala
I have
val str = "abc:def"
val pattern = "(.*):.*".r
val prefix = str match {
case pattern(prefix) => prefix
case _ => ""
}
I want to avoid MatchError so if it matches I will return the match otherwise I will return "". This compiles and do extract "prefix = "abc". However I get a warning saying
Suspicious shadowing by a Variable Pattern
IDE is suggesting putting `` around pattern(`prefix`).
Is there a better way of doing this? Why is the IDE suggesting that solution.
A:
The IDE shows the warning because you have 2 variables with the same name, I would suggest renaming the inner variable to something different:
val prefix = str match {
case pattern(pref) => pref
case _ => ""
}
The back ticks suggestion is not what you want in this case, you would use that if you wanted to match against the value of a variable (the IDE thinks you want that because prefix is the name of an existing variable).
A:
You can rewrite it like below, using any other name for the prefix extracted from the pattern, because that value is then returned by the match and assigned to prefix
val str = "abc:def"
val pattern = "(.*):.*".r
val prefix = str match {
case pattern(aaa) => aaa

A) (1/3,2) B) (1,2) C). (1/3,3). D) none of these
A:
Direction of Approach:
Let the three terms in geometric progression with common ratio $r$ and starting term $a$ be $\frac{a}{r}, a, ar$.
Given: $$\frac{a}{r}+a + ar = \alpha S \tag{1}$$ $$\frac{a^2}{r^2}+a^2+a^2r^2=S^2\tag2$$ Keeping that $r + \frac{1}{r}=y$, we can rewrite the equations as: $$a(y+1) = \alpha S \tag{1’}$$ $$a^2[(r^2+\frac{1}{r^2})+1]=S^2 \implies a^2[(r+\frac{1}{r})^2-1]= S^2$$ $$\implies a^2(y^2-1)= S^2 \tag{2’}$$
Dividing $(1’)$ and $(2’)$ and simplifying, we get, $$ y = \frac{\alpha^2+1}{\alpha^2-1} \implies r + \frac{1}{r}=\frac{\alpha^2+1}{\alpha^2-1}$$ $$\implies r^2(\alpha^2-1)-(\alpha^2+1)r+(\alpha^2-1)=0$$

goodreads | Lost series more than a year ago, cause I've been loving every little piece of it and all the waiting for Caught in Us was definitely worth the wait.
This is such a beautiful story, since the very beggining you can't help but been absorbed by it and just wanna keep reading and reading getting to know more and more about Dani and Damon our young but very interesting and emotional characters that I'll assure you will steal your heart away. Dani and Damon's story is very sweet but not less powerfull than Serena and Jame's or Jessica and Paker's story, actually I found it much more moving and intense, maybe is because they are both so young but yet they love each other in such and intense, innocent and honest way, you actually forget how old they are and can't help but desire a love like that.
At first glance, Dani seems like just any other nervous insecure little girl with big dreams and so much to say but she can't find her own voice so she just settled with being a wallflower only been noticed by ther BFF and her amazing brother James. On the other hand Damon is the typical bad bod, motorcycle, rebel and can't stop saying whats just crosssing his mind. But both of them have a million things going on, both being misunderstood by the people who surrounds them. When they find each other, they are not scared to call out on each others insecurities and fake image they show to the rest of the world, they are not afraid of tearing each other walls down and by the end it just set them both free and creates such and amazing and unique bond between both of them, they find their true selves in between this crazy and forbideen romance.
Finally Dani finds her own voice, screams at the world how she really feels and find that inner confidence to conquer the world. Damon, finally understands its ok to feel, to grieve and dream with more of life, that you dont have to be defined by your past and that you can find your own family and lifeline along the way, you just have to be brave enough to accept it and go for it. They take each other on a journey of self discovering and acceptance, to forgive others and specially yourself. And their bond is so strong that even if life brings them appart they find they way back to each other.
Such and incredible story, with some very exciting moments and I specially love the little part James plays in the book, I really enjoyed that brotherly side of him that only makes me swoon more over him. But I have to say Damon is my favorite character of the whole Lost series!

Take a look at the 4th Congressional district map in Chicago. They drew its boundaries, two snakes of area barely connected together, so that it contained Hispanic residents, so they could elect a Hispanic representative time after time.
Some go so far as to argue that if voting districts aren't carved up so a particular racial/ethnic group can always elect a member of their group, the inhabitants have been "disenfranchised".
The VRA has hardwired racial/ethnic identity into the circuitry of our government, extending even into school districts. No wonder we don't think of ourselves as one country. We aren't.
An obscene demonstration of trump's complete failure as a president and leader, let alone as a human being, as he would rather pretend to lead and have values than actually do the hard work of leading or having values. Every time I think he cant stoop any lower, he manages to exceed my expectations and lower himself to a new level of moral degeneracy.
I would walk over broken glass to vote against this man, and the way things are going I may have to.
I hyphenated my last name in 1974 after I woke up to the Women's Movement. It took almost 40 years after that for the state of Missouri to acknowledge on my drivers license that my last name is Myname-Hisname.

"Mr. Trump will almost certainly try to shape the national conversation from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida...."
Now that he has lost Fox as a megaphone, the only way he can impact the "national conversation" will be if the national media, print, digital and visual, let him. The excuse that has let all of those organizations off the hook when they regurgitated what he said or tweeted (he is the President and what he says should be heard), has zero meaning when he walks out of the White House for the last time, whether that is on 20 January or sooner if he wants to duck the Inauguration. He will still be an ex-President, but that does not make him newsworthy every time his little fingers twitter or he opens his mouth to spew more inanity. (Why does that rhyme with Sean H.?)
I recall a national publication with the motto was "All The News That's Fit to Print". Might be time to dust that one off.
She made the right call. Her actions are under a microscope, and right now Democrats don’t need the inevitable news cycle that would transform any nuanced arguments from her into an indictment of Israel, or even anti-Semitism. I look forward to her returning to this conversation at a more opportune time.

Q:
GET request 200 OK but 'failed to load response data' for links
I made a personal website (http://www.soyoungpark.online) using domain bought from GoDaddy and hosted on AWS s3. I set up everything and thought things were working until I put a simple link to my linkedin profile. When I check the network panel, I see that status code is 200 OK but for the response..there is nothing. The code itself doesn't seem to be problematic; it is simple a with href of the desired link. So I am guessing something could be wrong with my AWS s3 settings? Anyone with similar experience?
A:
It's likely that these services include a header option called "X-Frame" that for security prevents them from being loaded within another site:
The X-Frame-Options HTTP response header can be used to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame>, <iframe> or <object> . Sites can use this to avoid clickjacking attacks, by ensuring that their content is not embedded into other sites. Source: X-Frame-Options
This does look to be the case when attempting to view Linkedin per your example:
Refused to display 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/exampleuser' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.
That said, applying a target Attribute to each to open in a new tab or window should allow these outside services to be navigated to.
e.g:
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/exampleuser" target="_blank">

realnews | Barrino was rushed to a North Carolina hospital last night where she was treated for a “medication overdose,” according to WCNC.com.
According to the report, Barrino was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville around 8:55 PM … the report says her condition was not life-threatening.
According to the report, it’s unclear whether the OD was intentional or accidental.
As we previously reported — Barrino was recently accused by Paula Cook of making a sex tape with her husband and destroying their marriage.
Paula Cook filed for divorce from her husband Antwaun Cook. In the court docs obtained by WCNC, Paula Cook filed for child support against her estranged husband Antwaun Cook and cited an alleged affair between Cook and Barrino. She claims the two met at a T-Mobile store and, beginning in August 2009, began their “covert adulterous affair.”
Cook goes on to claim, “Throughout the course of their adulterous affair … Defendant/Husband and Ms. Barrino have at times recorded their illicit activity.”
Fantasia’s lawyer, Gena Morris, is officially on the attack — telling TMZ, “Mrs. Cook gratuitously included claims about Fantasia to sensationalize that litigation and to insure that her tale would be picked up by tabloids.”
Although the “Cook” tattoo branded above Barrino’s heart… that was later covered up — and rumors of an affair between Barrino and Cook have been around for months — Barrino has always denied the relationship.
Morris added, “The fact that she would seek such publicity in a case involving her children is particularly disgraceful.”
Barrino has claimed she is “not responsible” for the deterioration of the marriage.

Tyson Fury and Steve “USS” Cunningham will clash in a IBF heavyweight eliminator bout at Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
The winner becomes the mandatory challenger for IBF champ Wladimir Klitschko.
The undefeated 6′ 9″ , 250 pound Fury (20-0-0, 14 KOs) has a 6-inch height advantage over the 6′ 3″ Cunningham (25-5-0, 12 KOs), but just a 3-inch reach advantage (85″ vs 82″).
Fury was confident Wednesday at the pre-fight press conference at the Legends bar in New York City. “All I want to do is to say what is going to happen in the fight,” he said. “Fury comes out jabbing, Cunningham is running around the ring and BAM!” “Game over. And then, people, I am in New York and the Fury will be unleashed. That is all I have to say. No bullsh*t. Let’s get it on.”

Voluntary review of ARC
The Boss by author Melissa Schroeder has action, adventure, spies, and lots of love! I adored this book. The pacing of it is just right always keeping me guessing what would happen next. I love strong Heroines and Mackenzie or Mac as she likes to be called is a very strong independent woman. Former British spy she is a woman you do not want to mess with. She loves just as fiercely as she works. Vic was a former lover. Well if she is honest she wants him now too, but this on and again off again thing they do is getting to her. She wants him either all in or all out. But she is not even sure where she stands for a while in this book. Mac is the girl you want as your best friend. She will be there for you through thick and thin.
Vic. He is former CIA. He can kick butt pretty well himself. He thought he was falling for Mac so he ran. Who knew she would follow and bring all the trouble she could with her. Not that Vic minds. He wants the action and adventure. And he wants Mac. She is the one he thought he could never have. Now he might have his second chance. He is determined to get it right this time.
Over all loved this story. Could not put it down. I keep re reading it as well. This book is going on my keeper shelf. When I want to read about some very hot spies and the trouble they get into in and out of bed I will pull this one out and read it.

My job is to help prevent violence against women and girls in the busy Agbogbloshie market in Accra. This market is the home and workplace of an estimated 70,000 young female porters, locally known as kayayei, and their families, who come to Accra to escape the extreme poverty of northern Ghana.
The kayayei are very young, very poor, and experience unacceptably high rates of gender-based violence. In Accra's markets, the kayayei are marginalised and often taken advantage of.
As one of 75 peer educators, I was trained by Marie Stopes International to provide information and services about sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence to the kayayei in the Agbogbloshie and Mallam Atta markets.
I was selected for additional training, and now serve the dual role of anti-gender-based violence champion in addition to peer educator. There are 15 anti-gender-based violence champions. We help them access services such as a local shelter for abuse victims, counselling and healthcare, and report cases to the police's domestic violence and victim support unit.
We also support activities like informal group discussions with market communities, reinforcing the message that gender-based violence is both illegal and wrong, and that the police will take action on reported cases.
Unfortunately, many kayayei leaders and residents aren't aware that violence is even wrong or illegal. Victims feel under pressure to say nothing, especially when the perpetrator is a family member or important member of their community.
I encourage kayayei to speak up and report rape and other forms of violence against them through group discussions and awareness raising. We help victims report cases to the police – including how to preserve evidence – and are an immediate point of contact when there is an abuse case.
And we work with community leaders so they can help to spread the word about violence, particularly to men within the communities, who are often the perpetrators.
So far, we've supported five kayayei girls to report cases of rape and assault to the police. More than 2,300 kayayei have been reached with information about how to prevent and report gender-based violence. I'm excited about the progress we are making in our community. Little by little, violence against us will stop.

goodreads | some ways the Martian reminded me of some friends - that same aura of calm under pressure and ability to dang well sort something out that works! I wonder whether the author really meant for the mission controllers to have so little faith in the strenuous selection tests they'd put the astronauts through. In that, I think it echoed the Apollo 13 film - people concerned over their own piece of the mission and not giving the astronauts credit for resourcefulness.
There were plenty of twists and turns, many unexpected, although at one stage I did get fed up with the thwarting of every positive step. Relentless bad luck can pall. However, I liked the style of the diary, and the cuts back to Earth, and eventually back to the rest of the crew.
I haven't seen the film, but the book is terrific, and I've given it five stars everywhere.
In a nutshell: Brilliant! Best book I've read this year (along with one or two others).
Okay it was pretty good I would really give it 4 and 1/2 stars not 5. Limos was everything I expected but to be honest her storyline fell a little flat. What I really loved was Thantos and that bitch Reagan I really hope he kills her. Anyway it was good I don't like the way her firsttime went down or the way everyone was so unforgiving can't wait for the next book.

This book is split between a fiction part and a non-fiction one. I preferred the latter, but in general I found the entirety of the collection quite interesting, even though short stories and essays are usually not my cup of tea.
A breezy, charming read - Warwick Davis' life has been extraordinary in many ways and wholly easy to relate to in others.
It is this juxtaposition between the eccentricity of his day job as an actor (in movies like "Return of the Jedi", "Willow", the "Harry Potter" series and his tv series "Life's Too Short") and the challenges presented by being a little person in a world not designed for his height which makes this memoir so diverting.
He's got a remarkable sense of humour (Davis has never met a pun he didn't like - more power to him) and an ability to write with clarity and incisiveness about unbearably tragic events which have impacted on his life.
I thought that I liked Warwick Davis before reading this book, but after having followed his journey from childhood to adulthood, I'm now genuinely a fan of his.
A highly recommended book.
Loved this and will read more of her work.

For what it's worth, I differentiate "cycle correct" from "real time".
That is, if you're talking about emulating non-mechanical devices,
"cycle correct" emulation should be fairly straightforward, but making
it "real time" (i.e. implementing an emulator such that it's
indistinguishable by an observer from the real thing) is considerably
more difficult.
Putting it another way, one can maintain a cycle counter in an emulator
whose contents are updated when certain tasks have been accomplished.
The real time needed to accomplish those tasks can vary widely, yet the
cycle count will still be quite accurate.

I'm going to get one together for IIS and tomcat as well, to add to the

Later, when all was said and done, and Kimimaro was defeated (he said _defeated,_ but really, even he and Gaara together had been no match for him. Lee didn’t like to think about what might have happened if Kimimaro’s disease hadn’t taken its toll right there on the battlefield. The memory of it all just serves to drive him on harder when he’s training. _Could he have held his own now? Would he have been injured or killed if Gaara hadn’t shown up now? Was he_ better _now?_ ), Lee sat on top of the Hokage Monument and meditated. He liked to sit up on the Shodai Hokage. The amount of work that must have been put into the founding and maintaining of the village in its early years must have been astronomical.
Gai-sensei had been talking him through how reflecting on battles could improve concentration and split second thinking, so he had decided to take a break from his physical training to focus on his mental training. While it wouldn’t affect his chakra like another ninja, it would help him in battle situations anyway.
Lee picked the fight with Kimimaro, because he still felt like he’d been quite useless in that fight. Starting at the beginning, he remembered running towards the clearing, and then finding Naruto and Kimimaro fighting it out. He frowned, then opened his eyes to stare out at across the village as he recalled the odd chakra that Naruto had summoned, the staggeringly immense number of clones he had created. It had slipped his mind in the aftermath of the fight, everything that had gone down with Gaara and then finding out that everyone was in hospital all but blocking it out. Lee would almost say that he had _seen_ the chakra that Naruto had called up, but… that was ridiculous, right? No one could have that amount of chakra.
His plan to think over the fight truly derailed now, Lee sat still and thought. Contrary to what people might think, he sorted out what he was thinking best when he was sitting still.
Naruto had never been quite normal. Lee had been in the year above him, and they hadn’t shared any classes, and even then Lee had known that there was something odd about Naruto. He didn’t have any family (which wasn’t that uncommon in a ninja village), he didn’t really have a parental guardian, he was a trouble maker in the Academy, he didn’t fit in. Lee knew that he had been dead last – when he’d heard that Naruto had been accepted into a team he’d been slightly surprised, before putting it down to the hard work Naruto had been doing when he wasn’t at the Academy.
Lee had studied chakra immensely – it had been when he was still in the _denial_ phase of grief. He probably knew about as much as Neji did, although he didn’t try to flout his knowledge. Just felt satisfied that he could understand the technical terms the Hyuuga used. He’d delved into the library, annoyed ninja so | 512 |

For some reason, millions of Americans gladly invite amazon and google’s surveillance technology into their homes, in exchange for the ‘convenience’ of turning their streaming music on and off and selecting audio and video programming by voice, rather than via remote or, heaven forbid, walking a few steps and tapping a button or swiping an icon on a phone or tablet.
I have had sonos speakers in my house for years now; the design, sound quality and range of available content is simply astounding to me - a guy who grew up with stacks of records, reel to reel tapes, turntables, amps, preamps, tuners and mountainous loudspeakers. A pair of play 5s and a sonos sub pretty much replace all of that.
And I was aghast when the company began bundling ‘alexa’ with its software and hardware. Thankfully, there is still the option to purchase ‘bare bones’ sonos products without capability to connect with these insidious ‘services’; or at least with the option to disable ‘alexa,’ et al. with the otherwise ‘alexa-ready’ sonos devices.
Amazon and google may be able to browbeat sonos into submission; they aren’t going to pry their way into my home, plant microphones in all of the living spaces, and start holding ‘conversations’ with me and mine via algorithm. I know it was 1984 quite some time ago, but I’m not ready to submit to monopoly capitalism’s Big Brother just yet.

_Kalos_ _ Supreme Court_
_Courtroom 1_
_14 September 2017, 3:30PM _
_Kalos v Galliard_
The slam of the gavel resounds through the courtroom, garnering silence from the generously filled courtroom. No-one's seen the court this full in a while, perhaps a few months; a lot of people want this man put away, it seems. The spectators' balcony is packed, every seat taken. Murmurs has died, silence has fallen, eyes all training on to the man wearing the rightfully ridiculous wig - well, that's what René thought of it, anyway.
"René Galliard the Fourth," the judge begins, clearing his throat stately, "You have been convicted of five accounts of murder, twelve of assault, harbouring a fugitive for over ten years, and countless instances of the illegal capturing and distribution of Pokémon. How do you plead?" The man in the overcoat blinks, ice glistening in his eyes as he gives a dismissive shrug. "Your Honour, I can't think of any fugitive that I've been harbouring. What, has my little Minerva stolen an apple?" He chuckles, the judge watching him gravely. "No, Mr. Galliard, both you and your Gardevoir are accountable for the aforementioned crimes since you have legally proclaimed that she is your legal and moral equal and, ergo, your 'partner in crime.'"
René remains silent for a moment or two, humming softly in thought as he glances to the empty seat next to him. It would be nice to have a lawyer. He couldn't exactly find anyone who was willing to take up the job of defending a known Hunter - not a prosecuted one, but everyone in the courtroom knows he's guilty. It's just a matter of how many tricks he can pull out of his sleeve. "But of course, Your Honour," René chuckles, leaning back in his chair in apparent thought. "Well, I wouldn't mind seeing some evidence first. It's a bit rude of you to accuse me of such heinous crimes without suitable reason to do so, no?"
The judge clears his throat a second time, nodding to a uniformed woman at the back before what looks to be security footage lights up the projector board to the off-left. It's large enough, at least. Large enough for even an old man to see René taking a Tyranitar from a lanky looking teenager, only for him to disappear with Minerva, seconds later. A ghost of a smile passes René's lips. Ah, yes. He remembers that job. Such a dim-witted boy. What was his name? Mav... Marv... Marvey? Harvey? Oh, something along those lines.
A second clip plays, then a third, then a fourth; by the seventh, the man in the footage is reading through the case file he had been given. | 512 |

"I did everything right, and it turned out all wrong." "Hmm,did Ashley have any arguments with anyone else?" "Or try to get their sperm?" "She had some sort of fight with Mr. Hawthorne."

Gutenberg (PG-19) | failed to stop
the publication of his cartoons but were largely instrumental in drawing
the attention of the Allies and neutrals to the great champion that had
arisen.
For eighteen months his cartoons had been appearing in the Amsterdam
_Telegraaf_ without exciting a more than mild interest outside Holland.
American and British war-correspondents returning to London from
Amsterdam talked enthusiastically of the "Great Raemaekers" and a few
stray cartoons appeared in the press of London and Paris. But he was
practically unknown outside of Holland until Christmas week in December,
1915, a year and a half after his first war-cartoon had appeared.
A two-line advertisement announced his arrival in the British
metropolis. "Exhibition of war-cartoons by Raemaekers, Fine Arts
Galleries, Bond Street, admission one shilling," was all it said. While
Londoners are generally interested in new artists, Raemaekers appeared
at an inopportune time. For one thing, the public had been rather
surfeited with war-literature and war-pictures and the work of an
unknown foreign artist was scarcely likely to attract them, and for
another, it was within a few days of Christmas, everybody was leaving
London, and those who remained in town were bent on giving the troops
and the war-sufferers as merry a time as possible.
It was quite by chance that the art critic of the _London Times_ visited
the Bond Street Galleries a day or so before Christmas, and Raemaekers'
world-wide fame as it exists to-day may be said to date from the day
that the _Times_ in a two-column notice said, among other things, "this
neutral is the only genius produced by the war."
The campaign of publicity launched by the _Times_ was taken up by the
British and French press. The public flocked to view, and were stunned
as they had never been before by the damning record. The cumulative
effect of such pictures as "The Shields of Rosselaere," showing men,
women, and children forced to march in front of the German armies, "Men
to the right, women to the left," in which women and children are being
beaten with the butts of rifles; "The Exodus from Antwerp," "The Mothers
of Belgium," "The Widows of Belgium," and others which revealed
unimaginable depths of human agony, impressed the London crowd as by
a solemn ritual. They saw with a vividness hitherto unapproached the
hideousness of the war, the unequivocal brutality of the German method,
and the naked, insatiable greed in the German purpose. Not now could the
timidest soul believe that Germany was fighting a war of defense. Here
was the fact inescapable that civilization itself was threatened; here
was the whole carnival of lust and conquest as mercilessly depicted on
the faces of its agents as they themselves had trampled onward to their
shocking goal.
The exhibition was crowded daily for twenty weeks. From nine in the
morning till six at night the galleries were packed with people of every
grade of society. It is not too much to say that no oration, no
literature, no art had brought the real meaning of the war home so

“So... what is this then?” I asked hesitantly, moving my hand back and forth between us. His perfect smile was back.
“This, my dear, is Gus’ perfect pepperonis pizza. It’s a staple here at the stardrop saloon” I laughed. He was o funny.

I sang to myself as I completed my chores for the day. It had been a couple weeks since Sam and I had started exclusively talking.
We spent our evenings drinking my grandpas aged wine from the cellar, sitting on the porch talking. I learned about his family. How they moved around quite a bit when he was young but they stayed put in Stardew, because his mom felt like she had family here, while his dad was away at war. She had help with her kids. I couldn’t imagine how difficult it would feel to be all alone raising two boys wondering if your husband would ever make it back.
I educated him on my family. How my dad, sister, and her mom live in a suburban area outside of Zuzu. That I had no idea if my mom was alive or not, and that I didn’t care. I filled him in on the abuse I received from her and how it took me a long time to overcome that.
We swapped Joja stories. He told me he was a janitor there, and I explained I had cashiered til I made it out of college then moved into customer support at HQ. I told him what a hell hole it was, and how glad I was to be out of there. Turns out he wasn’t disappointed in the slightest when they closed down here in town.
It was Friday night and Sam had invited me to go to the Stardrop with him, Abigail, and Sebastian. The four of us hadn’t ever really hung out. My time in town and the only real friends I had made where Alex and Shane. And I don’t even know if Alex counts since he had been my friend before I even moved here.

As a newbie I'm getting gray hairs trying to build a scrolling text
field that will display both English and Russian. (The code already
works well for English & other languages in the Latin alphabet,
including accents, umlauts, etc.). Simplifying a little, I have:
repeat with i = 1 to gHowManyItems
[some code to get the first item]
put [first item] after gWordList
[more code for 2nd item]
put tab & [2nd item] after gWordList
[some code to get the 3rd item]
put return & [3rd item] after gWordList
[some code to get the 4th item]
put tab & [4th item] after gWordList
end repeat
set the HTMLText of field "list field" to gWordList
When the first item is in Russian it shows up fine, but the following
English word displays as Chinese characters.
When experimenting, I tried adding
put "test some English at beginning" && return before gWordList
put return & "test some English at end" after gWordList
..after building the list but before setting the HTMLText of the field.
The English text added before gWordList displayed fine; the Russian
elements in gWordList displayed fine; but the English text added after
gWordList was gibberish. It seems that once an element in Russian has
been added, it doesn't want to go back to an encoding that works with
English - ?
I've been able to copy mixed-language text from one field to another
when I'd entered the text in Revolution (using HTMLText), but when I
try to create something that fills fields dynamically from variables, I
can't get it to work right.
Is there something that prevents mixing languages in a field? Am I
missing something obvious? Are there any sample files out there that
demonstrate using different languages in a field using HTMLText?
Thanks for any suggestions!

He said investors should pay attention to Google's paid clicks metric in the upcoming earnings quarter. Kelly said shares of Google look likely to moved toward $600. Adami agreed. Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) missed on top- and bottom-line earnings estimates. Nathan said investors are not willing to pay the type of premium they were for BBBY last year, but the stock has fallen too much to short-sell at this point. Kelly suggested Bed Bath & Beyond's poor earnings results could be a read-through on the housing market, and wondered if Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) would have underwhelming results as well. Kelly said he was surprised Netflix (NFLX) and Disney (DIS) didn't rally on Wednesday along with their peers. He suggested both could be buying opportunities on Thursday.
Adami said many of the network stocks -- such as Comcast (CMCSA), Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA), Disney and CBS Corp. (CBS) -- are not overvalued and can continue to rally. Refinery stocks got hit hard on Wednesday. Adami told investors not to get long just yet. Brian Goldner, president and CEO of Hasbro (HAS), was a guest on the show. The company recently refreshed its Transformers merchandise lineup ahead of the movie release. The first three films combined for roughly $3 billion in box office sales, he said, while merchandise sales for Hasbro were near $1.6 billion for its Transformers line. He is hoping this year will be strong as well. The company is also working with 3D Systems (DDD) to make toys, and ones that are more customizable for its customer. Adami said that with Hasbro's (HAS) low valuation of short-interest of 10%, the stock can continue to "grind higher." Kelly said that if the Transformer movie has a good weekend at the box office, it could be the needed catalyst to push shares of HAS through $56. Charlie Anderson, an analyst at Dougherty & Company, has a buy rating on shares of GoPro (GPRO) with a $28 price target. $26.50 of that price is represented by the company's consumer products division, while only $1.50 of his price target is based on the company's media potential. As the cameras' filming definition improves, GoPro should consider its own media network or site, he reasoned. He is also a buyer of Ambarella (AMBA), which derives most of its revenue from security cameras, he concluded. 3D Systems fell 4% and was the first stock on the show's "Pops & Drops" segment. Nathan said the stock appears to be in "technical breakout." He suggested that traders who got long near $50 start reducing some of their positions. Allergan (AGN) climbed 2%. Finerman said the stock appears destined to be bought out, the only question is at what price. Intercept Pharmaceuticals (ICPT) dropped 7%. Adami said not to buy the stock at current levels.

Hi all,
we have launched a free course about Geographic Information Systems
applied to Municipality Management, from the gvSIG Association, through
several video-tutorials.
At this post you can see the list of topics and the first module, that
is available already in [1]
At the next weeks we will publish the other modules, that we will
include at this playlist: [2]
The first two modules are theoretical, about differences between GIS and
CAD, and reference systems, very important to understand the rest of the
course. From the third one, the modules will be practical, and the
cartography will be available for each video.
In addition, when the course is finishing it will be possible to get the
official certificate given by the gvSIG Association, where it will be
obligatory to send a complete exercise.
All the information about registration, dates, certification, where to
send doubts... is available at the frequent questions section of the
first post [1].
We hope that it's useful for you.
Best regards

Hello People,
I have a possibly very lame question.
I am fairly new to RoR, and I want to make sure I do it "right".
I have a model called Invoice, and one called InvoiceLines. Usual story:
the table "invoice" has a 1:n relationship with "invoice_lines", which
includes invoice_id.
Now... the application will have a "new order" button, which will allow
the user to enter all of the order details, etc. Then, the user will
want to add invoice_lines, which are obviously associated with the
order.
The easiest solution I can think of is to have a session variable
(session[:invoice_id]?) so that the application "remembers" which
invoice you are dealing with (and in fact can also show the heading for
it etc.).
I can see problems here though, in case for example I want to allow the
user to add order_lines from the same page as the invoice_view using
Ajax. The scenario is clear: the user opens an order. Then he opens
another order and adds some order_lines there. Then... well, he goes
back to the first window, and - surprise surprise - he will be adding
line_items to the wrong invoice!
The super-easy solution then is to simply have the invoice_id as a
parameter of the action that deals with adding line_items. That way Ajax
is happy, I am happy... but would this really be the right way to do
things?
Well, apologies if this question | 512 |

Another option is the Sony DSCWX350 for more compact option with plenty zoom (500mm), slightly better (faster) lens and sensor IMO. Should have an edge in IQ over the Canon. Last option is Sony DSCWX220. Most compact size. Lesser zoom though 250mm is no slouch. Slightly better lens than the previous two cameras so should just edge out the Sony DSCWX350. All should be within budget and have phone connectivity. I will say that Sony's menu system isn't the most intuitive. Sony camera can also access Sony's Play Memories store for additional photo/camera apps so that's pretty nifty too.
Neither. ZOE is just pointless. The VS MAX is fine without it, because pretty much all 3 abilities are bad and rarely used. It's just that ZOE is even worse and more so. I want a fun and useful ability that fills a purpose. The TR doesn't *need* the Striker. But they deserve a functioning and useful ESAV launcher.
Juxtaposition of the music, hear me out the heaviest songs that stick in my mind are ones that have a heavy as fuck section that contrasts with the rest of the less heavy song, a heavy break down feels so heavy and memorable because it contrasts with the rest of the song a perfect example of this would be BMTHs Suicide Season.
Roundabout the time I started playing, I would always go to the airport in public sessions and fly around in a helicopter. If I saw so,some in the middle of nowhere, running up a mountain or something, I'd stop and pick them up. I'd carry them to the top of maze bank and let them out to get a parachute to jump to more or less where they wanted to go. Sometimes, they didn't get out and Id just fly em around for a bit. I met a lot of cool people and got quite a few in-game texts to say thanks. Except, one time I dropped a guy off at the airport and he got a buzzard and shot me down. That was the end of that!
I don't understand how that's asshole though. Prices change (also nothing is *"free"*. There was always a price. Show me one actually free service and I'll believe you). They probably realized they weren't making money off it and decided they need to raise the prices. Especially considering that it's been getting more popular it's probably simple supply and demand

StackExchange | Convert() in the calling method. Heslacher suggest using double.TryGetValue(), but does it IMO only halfway, because he just ignores strings that are not convertible. In that way the client has no idea of what went wrong where. Using Haslachers approach you need to do something like:
double current;
if (double.TryParse(value, NumberStyles.Any, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out current))
{
yield return (current * ConversionRate).ToString();
}
else
{
yield return double.NaN.ToString();
}
or otherwise signal to the client that something went wrong, because if you enter a string with say 5 values and one is in invalid format you'll only get 4 back, but which 4?
I can't quite figure out why you declare ConverterBuilder as abstract? Why can't consumers use it as is? It is fully working and requires no extensions in derived objects to work properly. To give it any meaning you should make the methods virtual so subclasses can extent/alter the default behavior.
Further:
An abstract class with only non-virtual/non-abstract methods is only meaningful by letting subclasses extent the behavior:
public class UnitConverterBuilder : ConverterBuilder
{
public UnitConverterBuilder()
{
}
public UnitConverterBuilder AddSomethingElse(object somethingElse)
{
return this;
}
}
your method chaining can then become rather complicated and hard to read and understand:
UnitConverterBuilder builder = new UnitConverterBuilder();
IConverter converter = (builder
.AddConversionRate(2.54)
.AddDisplayText("Inches to cm") as UnitConverterBuilder)
.AddSomethingElse("something else")
.Build();
because the methods return the base class ConverterBuilder.
You can overcome this by defining the base class as:
public abstract class ConverterBuilder<TSubClass> where TSubClass : ConverterBuilder<TSubClass>
{
protected double _conversionRate;
protected string[] _convertedUnits;
protected string _displayText;
public virtual TSubClass AddConversionRate(double conversionRate)
{
_conversionRate = conversionRate;
return this as TSubClass;
}
public virtual TSubClass AddConversionRate(string[] convertedUnits)
{
_convertedUnits = convertedUnits;
return this as TSubClass;
}
public virtual TSubClass AddDisplayText(string displayText)
{
_displayText = displayText;
return this as TSubClass;
}
public virtual IConverter Build()
{
return new Converter(_conversionRate, _convertedUnits, _displayText);
}
}
and UnitConverterBuilder as:
public class UnitConverterBuilder : ConverterBuilder<UnitConverterBuilder>
{
public UnitConverterBuilder()
{
}
public UnitConverterBuilder AddSomethingElse(object somethingElse)
{
// TODO: do something with somethingElse
return this;
}
}
In this way your method chaining becomes straight forward and intuitive again:
UnitConverterBuilder builder = new UnitConverterBuilder();
IConverter converter = builder
.AddConversionRate(2.54)
.AddDisplayText("Inches to cm")
.AddSomethingElse("something else")
.Build();
But I think that allowing to extent a builder in this way violates the idea of the builder pattern, because a builder is supposed to implement a certain interface that is the contract between the builder and director. You don't relate to that part of the pattern at all?
You should be able to use the builder like this:
IBuilder builder = new UnitConverterBuilder(); //(or just: new ConverterBuilder();)
IConverter converter = builder.AddConversionRate(10).AddXXX()...Build();
where IBuilder is defined as:
public interface IBuilder
{
IBuilder AddConvertionRate(double rate);
IBuilder AddXXX(...);
...
IConverter Build();
}
Update:
As an answer to Matthwes question in his comment:
It's a step on the path: An interface is the abstraction or contract between the implementer and the client/consumer. So in principle your controller class should not know about the actual builder and converter implementations but fully rely on interfaces: IConverterBuilder which could be injected in the | 512 |

Hello,
I want to allow viewers to approve OAuth tokens for pages where they are not
the owner. Basically, we have a requirement to allow users to view OAuth
gadgets on a shared page.
I set "shindig.signing.viewer-access-tokens-enabled=true" in
shindig.properties "to allow the use of 3-legged OAuth tokens when viewer !=
owner" (per the description).
However, when the OAuth request is being made, I still get the error "Client
state belongs to a different person ...". OAuthRequest.checkCanApprove()
checks to see if the clientState owner is the same as the page viewer, so
even if I make the above change in shindig.properties, I cannot approve
access tokens.
The description of checkCanApprove() says "At the moment we restrict this to
page owner's viewing their own pages." How do I
get shindig.signing.viewer-access-tokens-enabled=true to take effect? Or is
this not supported yet?
Thanks!

I have a bolt that sends IO request to database/web service and emit
results. Because bolt will spend most of it's time waiting for IO, I think
the event-based approach will improve bolt throughput.
The way node.js can handle a lot of requests on a single thread, bolt
should be able to do the same and handle a lot of requests on a single
thread.
Bolt can fire the call to remote server and on callback emit new tuple.
Is this functionality already built into the bolt when I specify number of
task bigger that number of executor or I have to resort to toolkits suck as
Akka to do it?
For example, does *topologyBuilder.setBolt("green-bolt", new GreenBolt(), 1
).setNumTasks(4**)* will create 4 actors on one thread?
Will this approach improve overall topology throughput?

Thank you for your honest response. I get that there is a reason to triple cap. I guess I just remember team mates calling out if they were spawning C or going for the cap. Domination, to me, is a team type of game even though I play solo. If you want to flip the spawns go for it, just call it out. On some maps it is better to flip the spawns right away to get the map advantage. Some of the funnest games I've had were joining late and fighting out of a spawn trap, if you will, for the victory. It is probably just a communication thing that I wish for the most. I call out locations and spawn points. Clear flags and wait for team mates to help take an objective. I can say that I am not very good at the game so it is mildly disappointing to die a kill or 2 off a high end streak because a team mate pushed too far.
I have written long posts on this but short version: - Ignite cannot be balanced so long as dyadus exists - it's simply too powerful. The simplest fix would be to make the dyadus bonus apply only to attacks with that weapon. I have thought it would be pleasing to have dyadus do burn related bonuses in mainhand and chill related bonuses in offhand, but eh. - Elemental penetration is worthless for ignite, which means that if you want to do a good ignite build you MUST take elemental equilibrium. On a 40% fire resistance target this is an 83% more damage multiplier. This means, sadly, that stupid shit like hrimburn and stormfire are infinitely better and more convenient for burn builds than, uh, fire skills... - Chance to ignite is massively overvalued on the tree. Scaling crit gives you free ignites at a 50% more multiplier anyway - the raw "chance to ignite" seems relatively pointless, especially given the existence of other methods of applying ignite (conflux etc). This is especially silly given the nodes that lead up to conflux give you chance to ignite.... - Removing guaranteed elemental ailments from crit would be a good start to balancing the ailments well - make it something you have to invest in. Crit already gives you damage and crit related mechanics - that should be enough! - Curses are useless for penetration versus the hardest targets you would be using them on. - attack prolif is in a particularly grim situation because the base damage of attacks is so low versus eg spells - dyadian dawn is not enough to make up for this! I enjoy ignite prolif and have made builds that do okish damage, but they have all required abusing dyadus, being incredibly squishy etc.

One day, I saw a child playing with a Big Mac the size of a tangerine. The McDonalds had been throwing them away.
In 6th year of doing startup...here is how it went. 2009 - Quit on 12th month of job after college. 2009 - Wanted to start messaging service for college along with my Boyfriend -FAILED - 10 Months & 2.4lacs wasted - Went broke 2010 - Started a customized meal service - tons of iterations - raised money in between as we were always on the verge of going broke - took no salary - never made a profit but breakeven - shut it down - 3 years - 6lacs debt. 2013- Fought the temptation of joining big startups at a nice salary - Started designing websites as that was all we knew beside running food startup- did decent money around 1lac/month for one and half year ...tried doing few products but failed at most of them 2015 - Started a free resource for startups - went viral on Producthunt - offered a paid service which now makes pretty great. This wasn't easy but we just kept hanging on and probably tried 30 different things and this one worked. We still have a long way to go to look back and say "This turned out well after all" Here are few thoughts: 1. Don't give up on your dream 2. Use money really wisely 3. Create something simple and useful and give it for free 4. Sell something around it. Hope it helps.
As for my explanation on gender, I didn't know if this person considered themselves "gender fluid" because they end up being transgender too. Gender fluidity is a ridiculous idea but anyway, gender just defines their sexual characteristics like you said. Sex and gender are related but not the same. Gender is the definition of sexual characteristics, sex is the classification. Males(Sex) tend to have larger muscles, broader shoulders etc(gender characteristics). But this is why I don't like trying to reason with people on issues like these. I'm "bigoted" because I interpreted a result differently. What a load of hypocrisy. Believe me when I say this. I want treatment that works and when I see expensive life changing surgeries with the proven effectiveness | 512 |

ao3 | you and Lowery became friends so quickly.
“Oh I forgot, miss future animal behaviorist” he says with a playful eye roll. You smile shyly, biting your lip. It’s true; you are an intern right now, reporting on the dinosaurs, doing simple tasks. You often deliver information to the control room; that’s how you met. You had to give him a note about the Brachiosaurus and you saw all the figurines on his desk. He eagerly told you about each one, delving into fun facts about his favorites.
“And don’t you forget it!” you tease. Your phone goes off suddenly and you give him an apologetic look as you answer it. “What? Really? The triceratops? Yes of course, I’d love to!”
“Something interesting going on?” Lowery asks, genuinely curious about your job.
“Yes! The triceratops are depicting certain movements that look like mating rituals. They think that one of them must have evolved into a male. I wanna get down there and see it before the park closes.”
“Hey, I’m working the night shift. Come back and share it with me.”
“Well duh, it’s not like I have any parties or social life to attend to” you say sarcastically.
You drive back to the control room, your mind spinning. That was so amazing! You know that Lowery will absolutely love to hear about what happened. The intricate dances, the way the females seemed to display jealousy and protectiveness. You exit the car and practically sprint to the control room. It’s getting late, and you can see that the majority of workers are leaving. You walk into the giant control room, looking at all the amazing technology and impressive lights. You stop dead in your tracks when you see Lowery talking to another girl. A very pretty girl. You narrow your eyes and hide behind a pillar, peeking out so you can still see.
You think the girl’s name is Vivian; she works next to Lowery every day. They seem very intense, and she’s hanging on his every word. She stands up and gives him a hug; causing your heart to drop into your stomach. You frown and you feel as though you’ve been hit with a brick. She walks away, saying good bye in a sickeningly sweet voice. You wait for a few more people to leave till Lowery is alone.
What should you do? The truth is, you’ve had a crush on Lowery since the moment the two of you met. He’s so cute and nerdy; and he really is such a sweetheart. You like thinking about gripping your fingers in that black hair, feeling the tickle of his beard against your face. Your lip quivers ever so slightly; what if it will never happen? You sigh dejectedly, and walk slowly over to him.
As you get closer, you see his wide smile and the adorable wave he gives you. You suddenly think back to the dinosaurs. The triceratops didn’t just lay down and give up. They decided who would mate with the male by who wanted him more. By which female | 512 |

Hi,
I think we got the root cause for this. It is Yi Yang's patch in the openflowplugin project (https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/37937/ ) itself what triggers the failed integration test (making sfc's feature installation to fail). Problem is that the patch includes changes (including deletions) in several yang definitions in openflowplugin which were used by SFC, without changing yang / openflowplugin versions. So the merge job of YY's openflowplugin patch alone fails (it is executed alone, without the corresponding patch in the SFC project being included)
We have reproduced this locally by generating a version of openflowplugin with the patch, then compiling sfc (it fails; log attached).
Not sure of the best solution for this: my best guess is that the patch should somehow explicit the version change in order to be backward compatible (in terms of not breaking sfc). As I said, not really sure on the best solution

Hi
As per my understanding, whenever a signal handler is returned, sigreturn()
system call
is called, so just to test my understanding I wrote a simple app with signal
handler and
tried to put a breakpoint at sigreturn call, but I could never hit that
breakpoint.
How can one figure out how return from signal handler is done, and be sure
about it?
I mean is there any flag I can check or any return value I can check and
decide that
signal handler has returned?
Regards.
IAt first I wasn't going to answer this, but then a temporary definition
for the presen period ocurred to me. I'ts off the wall but I think it
has pragmatic merit,
A sect is any M-L group or semi-M-l group that does not subordinate its
own interests to the interests of non-organized m arxists.
I won't defend it, but I think it's worth rolling about in one's head. I
am convinced that the most important marxists in the u. s. are those who
belong to no group at all.

Hey guys,
sorry for the off-topic post. I am working this week and next primarily
on the internal IT in the OLE Nepal office.
Can anyone recommend a good passwd management solution for the office? I
use keepassx for my own personal passwds but it would be hard to use for
the several persons who need access to it in the office. Also, the
office server doesn't have X installed so a gnome or kde app won't work.

Blaine looks at him adoringly, nodding. “I promised you a long time ago I would be.” He pulls him a little closer. “Now c'mere,” His lips connecting to Sebastian’s nose. “I know just what to do to make you feel better.”
The other’s nose crinkles slightly, a chuckle escaping him. “Oh? And just what is that?”
“Kisses.” He says simply, punctuating the word with a bunch of little kisses around Sebastian’s cheek, causing the taller to actually giggle, a grin settling on his face as the stress of the day already starts to melt away with every touch of Blaine’s lips.
“Mmm, baby you know just what I need to feel better.”
“Of course I do.” Blaine mumbles, letting his kisses trail down his jaw.
Sebastian just smiles, closing his eyes, melting into Blaine’s arms as a warmth spread all through him right down to his toes. When he feels Blaine’s lips moving slowly against his neck, it’s as if he can feel some of the tension in his shoulders actually uncoiling, relaxing. His smile grows a little when he feels warm lips against his own, he responds immediately, letting his lips drag slowly over the other’s. He loves kissing Blaine, it’s something he could never tire of, it was like a drug to him.
He always knew kissing Blaine would be something indescribable, and when it finally happened for the first time he couldn't believe how much his dreams had deceived him, it was better than anything his imagination could come up with. He’d never admit to anyone the feeling that could only be properly described as fuzzy, like billions of dandelions had just spouted underneath his skin. He feels disgusted with himself for even thinking that. But it’s the truth. When people talk about kissing the love of your life, they mention fireworks, but he doesn't just see fireworks when they kiss, he sees explosions, volcanoes erupting, waves crashing into the sandy shore, taking his breath away and almost knocking him off his feet. And every single time they’ve kissed since then has been exactly the same, it never goes away.
“Mm,” He hums against Blaine’s lips, capturing them with his own, kissing him deeply, slowly, a shiver running through him.
As they kiss, Blaine holds him close and tight, as if he’s trying to protect Sebastian from his bad day, from the world, from any bad thing that tries to come at him. It warms his insides because he feels protected, he feels safe in Blaine’s arms and he knows that the other would do anything to defend him and to make him feel better.
They lie there in bed the rest of the night, their kisses getting more heated as the night progresses, eventually turning into an intense round of love making that leaves the bedroom windows with a light layer of moisture from the heat of their bodies and heavy breaths, clinging to each other like if they were to let go the other would disappear. The passion they shared could burn a hole right | 512 |

Called and talked to a very nice rep who said the HO800 is discontinued so he could only replace it with the HO700, and with nothing to lose,I agreed. Some of their other wireless headsets are discontinued as well, although they are still listed. I suspect the circuitry is not designed well and/or uses cheap components. I liked the headphones but even inexpensive items should last at least a few abuse-free years. I have early transistor radios from the 1960's that still work!

This is the best Vacuum i ever owned! got it when it was the TSV on QVC. Assembly was simple and it's very quite, compared to others i have had. It cleaned my carpets like no other vacuum i had ever used! After i emptied the container i was like did i ever vacuum? as the container was half full. So if your looking for a good vacuum, look no further. Very happy with my purchase.
Works like a charm! I looked everywhere to find the length we need because of the odd way our downstairs bathroom is shaped. I did need to put a little support under the ends at each wall to keep it from slipping, but other than that it's great! I had no problem getting it set up. Just make sure to read the directions taped to the rod so that you don't end up over extending it. I noticed in the reviews some people did that and it made the process of setting it up frustrating for them.
It starts out looking to be brief and uneventful, but quickly turns into a suspenseful account of how Roosh evaded left-wing thugs tacitly supported by their government. Roosh's style, showing a story through action and facts more than descriptions, remains surprisingly engaging.
The story of how a government helps agitators do its dirty work by selectively enforcing and neglecting the law should be fascinating and disturbing to anyone; with the addition of a few maguffins and a small dictionary of obscure adjectives this story could easily pass for dystopian science-fiction from fifty or a hundred years ago.

It is noble to campaign to fight corruption. If, however, one is campaigning to fight corruption while also campaigning to have government grow very rapidly and manage far more of the economy, one will have a tough time unless one is running for mayor of Fantasy Island.

3. IQ laughs too much
Headcanon: IQ has an obnoxiously ugly laugh and is easily entertained. Blitz is always the culprit. They manage to solve it.
^^^
Blitz always set IQ off during missions and for almost three years, all every operators have to suffer through it. First it started out as a innocent dad joke or maybe a semi-clever pun, but every time IQ laughed her damn ass off for a full five minutes. That didn’t help that most of the time this happened during mission.
Any operator on the team could tell you, hearing the equivalent of a donkey laughing hoarsely over the comms didn’t help anyone. Blitz never apologized, in fact he most people assumed that he did it on purpose, thinking her laugh was horribly funny. Doc was the one to propose “laugh therapy”, to train her to hold back her laughter.
The whole thing only lasted ten minutes. A simple pun that Bandit told was enough to keep her going for a solid ten minutes. After that, they made sure to use less clever jokes. That wasn’t enough to contain the laughter of hers. When all else failed, a stern talking from Six came to fruition.
“Monika, you need to keep your laughter to a minimum,” she coolly said, keeping the whole meeting at the least amount of time possible. “We’ve got too many complaints from operators. It also affects your mission quality. The others can’t focus if all they hear is your laughing.”
“I-I know Six,” She stammered. Any meeting with Six was one that drew nervousness from even the most grizzled operators. Only Thatcher and Capitão are the ones who spoke to her as if she were an old friend. “I can’t help myself, not that Elias keeps egging me by telling those stupid jokes before we go in.”
“So Elias is the problem?”
“No, just his jokes.”
Six pondered for a moment before dismissing Monika. “You’re excused Ms. Weiss. I’ll see you another time.”
“Thank you ma’am,” she nodded, getting up and leaving her office.
The mission was simple. Take out several tangos in a sewage treatment plant in the Great Lakes, prevent the terrorists from causing an environmental disaster. It’ll play smoothly, no need for casualties for a low level sweep and clear.
Monika frowned when she noticed that Blitz stayed relatively quiet. The normally cheerful and joyous man took a turn down to meloncholyville. Everyone else didn’t seem to notice or pay attention, which was strange. This must be something that Six set up. Her nickname isn’t IQ for nothing, she’s a smart girl.
She leaned next to Finka, who looked away at the window of the helicopter. “Hey, is Blitz a little off?”
“How do you mean?”

There is no right to counsel until you are detained or arrested. If you are being questioned (interrogated/interviewed) and you don't receive your charter right for counsel (or other charter rights triggered by an arrest or detainment) you should be able to get up and leave at any point. If they stop you from leaving, you know that you are now detained.

Short and Simple: I need some more jeans, that are washed AKA not raw denim. I haven't bought jeans in a while, and the only brand I grew to like were True Religions for their fit and quality. However, their new stuff is made cheaply. No budget restrictions - Size 30x34 (Some brands do not offer jeans in this size). Update: Mavi jeans are trash. Hugo boss are okay. Ultimately just go to tate and yoko and look at their inventory. They've picked their inventory to only include good quality (albeit particular fits).

Hips canting upwards at the sensation, somewhere between pain and pleasure, pressing their hands harder against his stomach, feeling the hardness of the egg under soft skin -- Viktor had tears in his eyes at the intensity of it, at the constant, almost too much pressure as the egg settled next to the others, grinding against his insides and each other as they were pushed down slightly. The tentacle inside him was starting to withdraw slowly, each sucker teasing his insides mercilessly, and Viktor's whimper was something tortured. "Yuuri, please --"
Yuuri smiled, gaze hungry, and leaned forward to kiss Viktor, the remaining limbs holding him securely. He kissed him once, twice, three times in quick succession on the lips, before heading lower, leaving a trail of kisses against his chin and neck. He hummed as Viktor whimpered again, mouth at his collarbone. "Since you asked so nicely, Vitya."
It was his only warning as Yuuri increased the pressure on his swollen stomach at the same time as the tentacle inside him finally grazed his prostate, the pain-pleasure of it overwhelming him at last. Viktor whimpered as he came, thick ropes splattering over his stomach, the limbs over his body rippling and shuddering, curling protectively around his form. He collapsed on himself as the tension left him at once; whining as Yuuri withdrew from inside him, feeling strangely empty all of a sudden, despite the eggs pushing against his skin in patterns.
Yuuri watched him with fond eyes, one tentacle coming up to caress Viktor's cheek while he leaned down to give him a soft kiss. "I can finish outside if it's too much, Vitya. I won't last long, no matter how."
Yuuri meant well, Viktor knew, but a needy, _needy_ sound escaped his throat at the words and Viktor moved, pressing his shoulders into the bed and spreading himself open with his fingers, back arching beautifully, stomach obscenely bared in the air.

Hi Laurie,
I agree, in a perfect world libraries are just customers and vendors should contact OCLC by themselves when a problem arise. However, Vendors are often unaware of the existence of EZproxy and the way it works. So there’s a little effort to be done from libraries side in connecting Vendors and OCLC together.
There are multiple ways to proceed. IMHO, however, the most efficient one to insure you get the support you deserve is to open a case with OCLC tech support, put Vendor in CC and spark the discussion between them. Once they are connected, you can just get out of the way. You should keep an eye on what’s going on to be sure your case won’t end up in folder 13.

Hi,
Say a user creates an upper triangular matrix and then tries to set an element in the lower triangular part. What should
the behavior of the library be?
1) change the storage of the matrix to dense and set the element
2) throw an exception
3) ignore the set, leave the element set to 0
I'm split between 1 and 3. What does everyone else think?

Can someone give me a brief summary of how the flash v2 branch differs
from the trunk code? I spent some time looking at the trunk code only
to realize that there is also a v2 branch. I want to use jffs2 on a
NAND flash device. Reading through some of the discussions on this
list there was some work being done to support this. Is this supported
by the v2 code? I can port my NAND driver, but I am wondering if the
flash API has been modified for NAND flash devices.
Thanks.

ao3 | I fumbled, I proved you right--I haven’t changed at all. Have I? Hermione?”
She said nothing, but the door opened slowly and she leaned against the doorway. Her shoulders shrugged ever so slightly. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “Why did you say those things?”
“Hermione, I have not known the right words to say to you since I first met you.”
“I didn’t give you a chance to get a word in back then,” she said. He couldn’t see her face but her voice was touched with amusement.
“Imagine how I must feel now, Hermione--Merlin, your name is like a _ knife _ . I haven’t spoken it out loud in so long. Only to myself, when I knew nobody was around to hear.” He turned away.
“That’s good! That’s good!” Ron exclaimed.
“What’s good?” she asked.
“ _ You _ ,” Charlie said quickly, whirling around and glaring at Ron. “You are too good. How many chances have you given me to explain myself?”
Hermione let out a long breath. She stepped forward and leaned against the railing. “I wrote to you ten times after that last letter. You sent them all back, Ron. What was I supposed to think?”
_ You did what? _ Charlie mouthed to Ron. Ron shrugged and hung his head.
“I was ashamed,” Charlie said. Ron nodded his approval but turned away to rub his face.
“Of me?” Her voice was so soft it broke Charlie’s heart. He couldn’t see her face but her hair was backlit from the lamplight inside her little flat and she glowed.
“I am not what you think I am,” he said. He looked to Ron but his brother gave him no more indications or cues. He was curled into himself, hand over his eyes. Charlie sighed. “I have always tried to define myself by the quality of my closest friends and family and model myself after their attributes, but… well, I was never a scholar, I left that up to Percy. I have no passion for animals or curse-breaking or pranks like my other brothers. I’m not the hero presumptive, like Harry. I can’t hold a candle to Ginny’s skill with smithing. I don’t have a hobby that belongs only to me. So I was... loyal. You could trust me to _ be there. _ But in _ your _ proximity, as your friend, I was also the steadfast tin soldier.

Alan has been charged with voluntary manslaughter and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in connection with the shooting, according to Lt. Sheila Cole.
Hanks said Alan should be charged with murder.
"I mean, you can't kill your son and call it something less than murder," Hanks told Gaither.
Gaither asked Captain Garland Major with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office why Craft was charged with voluntary manslaughter instead of murder.
"Our investigation determined the crime was committed in the heat of the moment, and was not premeditated," Major said.
During the interview, Hanks told Gaither he needed someone to talk to about what he saw.
Gaither got Hanks in touch with a victim's advocate.

STARSPORT bring you the big stories from this morning's papers.
Louis van Gaal has removed star striker Robin van Persie from penalty duty after his miss from the spot against West Brom, the Mirror reports. When asked if the 31-year-old will be given another chance to take penalties, the Red Devils boss replied: "No. He is now at the end of the road. "It's always like that. Wayne has missed also, so when you miss you are at the bottom again." The Daily Mail reports on Jose Mourinho's outburst after his side clinched the title with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace yesterday. The Chelsea boss hit out at his critics by using an odd metaphor to compare them to dogs.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is desperate for his star strikers to start scoring goals again, the Daily Express reports. The Dutchman criticised his strike force after West Brom defeated his side 1-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday. Starsport reports on Steve Bruce's attempts to keep his players grounded as his side battle relegation. The Hull boss gave the example of his old side Wigan - who have just been relegated to League One - as a sign of how easy it is for clubs to fall into a downward spiral.
Manchester United keeper David De Gea is set to sign a new two-year deal at the club, according to the Sun. The 24-year-old stopper has been courted by Real Madrid of late, but is now ready to sign a short-term £200,000-a-week deal with the club. However, the Spaniard could reportedly then leave the club for free when the contract expires. Hull boss Steve Bruce has hit back at ex-team-mate Tony Cascarino after the pundit claimed the Tigers would not pick up another point a fortnight ago, the Daily Mirror reports.

StackExchange | performance of the Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS is probably a larger consideration than the slightly better optical performance (as measured by DxO Mark) of the Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC. The comparison of the same two lenses at The-Digital-Picture is a much more mixed bag, with the Canon sharper in the corners across the focal length range and even in the center at 200mm and f/4 than the Tamron. The Tamron has a reputation for less than stellar AF performance when use on moving subjects.
On the other hand, for portraits and concerts the larger f/2.8 aperture of the Tamron is probably the largest differentiator between the two. Especially when used with an APS-C camera that limits the low light performance of the smaller sensor.
P.S. - Someone please explain to me how that is a 13 P-MPix vs. 9 P-MPix score at DxO Mark based on their own measurements?

Q:
submit button in a different component creating Accessibility issue
I've a react component which renders a form for payment details.
Now, the submit button is being rendered from another component in the same page and it is working as expected.
However, this is resulting into an accessibility issue "This form does not contain a submit button, which creates issues for those who cannot submit the form using the keyboard."
I tried adding an 'id' attribute to the form and 'form' attribute to the button. But it doesn't help.
How could I fix this?
Form:
<form id="ccForm">
<input type="text" className="creditCardNumber" />
........
.......
</form>
Button:
<button for="ccForm">Purchase</button>
A:
The approach using the form attribute to associate a button to a form-owner should work in conforming web browsers.
I tried adding an 'id' attribute to the form and 'form' attribute to the button. But it doesn't help. How could I fix this?
Aside: you say the form worked before you tried this, so I suppose the button has a custom click event listener which triggers form submission? I'd recommend using the form attribute anyway, because the association will set up implicit submission, which is a normal expected behaviour. This is important: don't assume people will use the button itself.
The accessibility error you encountered suggests a deficiency in the accessibility checker tool itself.
"This form does not contain a submit button, which creates issues for
those who cannot submit the form using the keyboard."
I searched for this exact error message, and discovered it comes from the HTML_Codesniffer rules (possibly wrapped inside a tool like pa11y). I looked at the Javascript code for the test (in the current version 2.2.0), and it's clearly only looking for submit buttons nested inside the <form> element itself.
I've filed a bug report with the HTML_Codesniffer project to address this: Check for submit buttons outside of form element, associated using form attribute. Update: this is now fixed, and will be the next HTML_Codesniffer release.
Meanwhile, you should test the form manually. Can the form be submitted in all of these ways?

The end result is the mantle of the planet remains relatively untouched but above that everything is reduced to its constituent elements and most of the spiritual planes and existences tied to the planet are eviscerated. It's typically used in cases where an entire planets surface is hopelessly compromised but the corruption hasn't pierced deep into the planet, and so doesn't require complete destruction, but the corruption is too entrenched that simple orbital bombardment or the spirit equivalent of nuking the surface won't do. Because the components (the knife and 'battery swords') are so hard to make when each is effectively a masterpiece, they can't really be mass produced, and then it does take years to charge them with the necessary power. Thankfully cases where a planet is hopelessly compromised but the corruption hasn't pierced beneath the crust are rare so they aren't used often. Most of the time the planet would just be shattered through more plain planet crackers or a counter invasion would take place.

Hi folks, I was wondering if you could help my failing memory here. I sign up to many RSS feeds, and recall finding this amazing site (probably recommended via Smashing magazine). can i remember it? NOPE. My internet history is of no help, neither is google... so I'm calling upon you all... It is a website where you enter the name of a site you want to have the style analysed of.. the site then shows you the font, the selection of colours used in its theme etc. Every time i search, all i find is the plug ins for firefox and chrome for font-finder, but this was so much better! any ideas? I'm only going back about 4 weeks. I'm gutted I can't remember anything more than what it does!
Not sure if this will help you but I noticed that I wouldn't unlock the subclass emblem for my characters until I went thru and made sure I changed to each jump and grenade at least once. A lot of players wouldn't have done this since they just immediately pick the jump or melee grenade they want and don't change it. If you look on the subclass page and see an icon with either a faint white outline or pulsating a little bit, it's because you never selected it.
Good for him, this is not easy to admit even to one's self purely as a matter of honesty. To do so when there is a very real threat of violence takes an immense amount of courage.

Hi!
I've successfully set up ldap auth (against an Active Directory), allowing
users to log in with their username/password credential.
But I've two issues related to ldap auth remaining:
1. Why do I get no user_groups, if user log's in with scope, eg.
'testuser' vs. 'yKMhNf0C9Hyp7EuM@example.com' (mind that yKMhNf0C9Hyp7EuM@example.com is
_NOT_ an email address). In the first case I get a dictionary of
Id/Name-Values, in the second case I get an empty dictionary, yet in both
cases login is successfull. In the second case all my checks for group
memberships fail.
2. Is there any way of turning this off or preventing web2py to locally
store user data (except session)? Web2py stores user data for any user ever
logging in into the locally created auth database (auth_user, auth_groups,
auth_memberships). The auth information is given by ldap and personal data
(related to the individual) should not be stored in local auth database.
Kind regards,
Silvan
Hi -
I am new to Qt (and gui programming).
I am writing an application which displays points and lines
connecting these points. The user can grab points and move them
around causing the lines to adjust.
I am using QGraphicsView to implement this.
When I display my initial set of points and lines, if the lines are
exactly vertical or horizontal, they sometimes do not display. If I
move a point which causes the line to be off vertical or horizontal,
the line appears. If I move the point back and the line goes
vertical/horizontal...the line disappears.
This only happens on some vertical/horizontal lines. I have one case
where the points make a box and only the bottom line of the box does
not appear. The vertical lines appear and the top horizontal line
appears.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks,
Cecilia
Hi All,
I need some clarification.
What is the effect of releasing a version on an issue?
After releasing and archiving a version, I can still work with issues, I
can edit them, reopen assign new issues to the released versions etc.
The manual also states that after archive "it is not possible to remove
any existing archived versions from an issue's affected and fix version
fields or add any new archived versions". But I can add a new version to
the issue retaining the old version also.

Hi,
a month ago I fixed all warnings in the plugins 'org.eclipse.cdt.ui' and
'org.eclipse.cdt.refactoring'. I have also created project specific
preferences for the compiler errors/warnings, which are shared via CVS.
So the projects should be free of warnings in your workspace too.
Please help in keeping the projects free of warnings, it helps in
detecting problems early.
I did not do the same for the remaining plugins, because I do not know
enough about the code I'd be changing. It'd be a great thing to have a
warning free code base, though.

Take a hard look at the pictures from Charlottesville. Look up Richard Spencer. Look up Bannon. Are these inbred hillbillies? No, they're white collar workers with college education and enough confidence that they won't be challenged on their heinous acts that they openly display their deplorable nature. Reconsider who you are arguing in favor of. Freedom of Speech does not compel anyone to defend violent, hate-filled genocidal reactionaries in fear of losing their privilege.
Erich Honecker wants to find out how popular he is and visits random citizens of the GDR, as he rings the bell a little boy opens the door and asks who he is. He answers "I am the man who is responsible that you have a television and never need to be hungry." "Mom quickly come here, Uncle Hans from Cologne is visiting us!" the boy shouts.
I believe in political and legal equality for all citizens regardless of race, gender, or creed. I support individual's right to live however he choose, and though the market should be responsible for all pricing and wages, I would agree that on principle people should receive equal compensation for equal services rendered. *However*, there are numerous physical and psychological differences between men and women that greatly influence how they look at the world, what kind of life they lead and how they interact with other people. Therefore I cannot say that men and women are equal in any sense other than individual rights that all humans possess, and would expect that due to these substantial differences that these differences would express them economically, socially and politically, particularly in the aggregate (as individuals are variable enough to be outliers). I could only be styled as an egalitarian insofar as it pertains to rights derived from self ownership( life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness, etc). Human beings are equal in basic rights and nothing else. The modern left is excessively egalitarian and suffers all the consequences of that. Everyone individual is different, and this difference is part of what makes life so interesting and societies so vibrant. People differ in interest, ability, circumstance and temperament, and that is reflected in their economic productivity and circumstances. I am only concerned with inequalities' origins, not it in and of itself, and if inequality arises as the consequences of free action it is a non-issue. While I believe that all human beings and thus members of both sexes have equal rights, I wouldn't call myself a feminist because of the attached political baggage. Feminism came in 3 prominent waves, and I have different opinions on each waves objectives and methods. The first wave was primarily women's suffrage, and since women are citizens subject to the laws of the state they should be allowed to vote. However, the granting of women's suffrage has shifted the political dialogue for the past hundred years, with women generally gravitating towards larger government liberalism according to polling data ( particularly unmarried women), likely as a consequence of the aforementioned temperamental and physiological differences influencing their political perspectives. | 512 |

Admin panel (under Tool Management → Manage dependencies).
7. How do I go about specifying Conda dependencies for a tool? All the docs still seem to recommend (or exclusively discuss) the ``tool_dependencies.xml`` method.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The simple answer is: you don't need to do much to make Conda work for a tool.
The ``<requirement>`` tag in the tool XML file is enough. The name and the
version should correspond to a Conda package in one of the enabled channels
(which are specified by the ``conda_ensure_channels`` directive in
``galaxy.yml`` ). If this is the case you are ready to go. Read
more about `Conda channels`_ and browse their packages on https://anaconda.org/ url followed by the channel name (e.g.
`https://anaconda.org/bioconda <https://anaconda.org/bioconda>`__
).
We will gradually adjust the documentation about ``tool_dependencies.xml`` and
deprecate it everywhere.
8. During tool installation what if there is no Conda package available for a given requirement? What if the requirement is resolved in a different software than the original wrapper author meant to use?
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
If there is no Conda package available during tool installation the tool
will install automatically, and can be used if its dependencies are
satisfied by another dependency system such as Tool Shed package
recipes, Docker containers or modules.
If there is a package of correct name and version it will be used. There
is no equivalent of the “owner” concept used in Galaxy packages
installed from the Tool Shed.
9. Where can I find a list of existing Conda packages that I can point to, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel for common dependencies?
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
With Conda package manager installed on your system, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ conda search <package_name> -c iuc -c conda-forge -c bioconda
This will search in all channels that are activated by default in
Galaxy. If you find your package, you are ready to go. If not please
`create a Conda package`_ and submit_ it to BioConda_ or get in `contact with the IUC`_.
10. How can I create a new Conda package for a dependency?
**********************************************************
Adding a package to the BioConda or IUC Conda channels will make it
available for Galaxy tools to use as a dependency. To learn how, get in
touch with the awesome BioConda community. They have great documentation
and assist with all development. You will also see a few of us at this

Hey, Mauro,
So I was a little surprised to find that the htmldocs build now breaks on
one of my machines due to a lack of LaTeX. A bit of digging turned up
the culprit: commit b7ff94df5628 (pixfmt-007.rst: use Sphinx math::
expressions). The math:: directive uses LaTeX to process the math markup.
What this means is that said commit has made LaTeX a dependency for the
htmldocs build. I'm not convinced that this is a good idea; that's a
massive dependency to add for web builds that, ostensibly, should not
need it. Certainly we shouldn't add it without discussion...:)
So I'll ask: how important to you is the math extension, and is there any
way we could get you your fancy math in a way that doesn't force
everybody to install the whole LaTeX package set?
Thanks,
jon
Attention Pls,
I am writing you with regards to your protracted and stalled funds transfer from the U.K. and would urge you to accord this correspondence your full indulgence and attention, as the authenticity and difference would be evident if you do so.
As a freelance, independent External Audit expert assisting a private financial institution here in Britain in all aspects of their work, your transfer file came to my attention just this morning, and I was compelled to take special interest in it owing to its peculiar history of procedural inconsistencies. Obviously all the persons you assigned to process your transfer have proved to be incompetent. Simply put it that they have given room to some management of the Bank to try and smuggle your fund through a non-existent back door.
My intention is to quickly reactivate and sort out your transfer without any distraction through a simple, transparent and authoritative means where you will not be required to pay any unauthorized fees. You are forbidden to preempt anyone of this contact and I await your response at your earliest convenience.
Thank you.

ao3 | This time it wasn't in Twilight's Canterlot study, however, but in her own bedroom in Ponyville. As was common, Twilight felt her mentor rest a cheek on her head softly, a small sign of affection. This time, the princess lingered, however. The thought crossed Twilight's mind that maybe her teacher enjoyed a more homey environment from time to time, but didn't think much more of it, and, while Twilight opened up the book to the page in question, Celestia inhaled the scent of the little mare's mane.
"Right here is where it talks about the abductions." Twilight considered what she'd read in light of the new information. Speaking of, I don't suppose that, if the females were ... r--raped, they could have just left them there, could they?"
Celestia listened, and allowed herself a dazed grin at her current fantasy as long as Twilight couldn't see her expression. "If they had left them, the young that they might have born would have been killed," the wise mare explained. "Instead of allowing their lives to be taken, they trained the young to join them or raised them to bear more young once they were old enough, so, in a way, you were right. There was a strategic advantage to taking their grifonnesses." Celestia swallowed. "They even took their female young to that end."
"Really?! I-it's not what I expected, but ... that makes sense, I suppose." Twilight could feel a soft trembling from her teacher beside her. "Th--they... didn't rape the young, did they? I mean, they couldn' bear them any young if they weren't past coming of age, anyway."
It was then that Celestia realized not only that the urges weren't becoming any weaker with her pupil's contact, but the urges hitting her now had strengthened to such a degree that she burned for any way to satisfy them. Celestia's mind raced, thinking of how she could broach the suject of her need to Twilight. Surely, "faithful" student that Twilight was, she would want to end the agony, even if it meant giving the ruler of their land her most precious prize.
"Yes, Twilight." Sorrow filled the princess's voice, but not for the reason Twilight thought. "Sometimes ... sometimes even the powerful feel they need to take power from others in such a way ... for indulgence or satisfaction." Celestia's voice trembled on the last word, and Twilight looked up, her eyes sparkling at her mentor. What the small purple mare heard next stunned her, however. "Would you be able to forgive, if it were ... somepony like me who did it?"
Twilight replayed what she'd just been asked in her head a couple of times to be sure she'd heard right. "Y--you mean, if it was you who raped little foals?" Twilight's mouth hung agape and, for once, she looked up at her mentor with doubt plastered across her face. The seriousness and pain in Princess Celestia's features answered her without a word. "No!" Twilight wouldn't believe what she was thinking at that moment, that her ruler could be so base | 512 |

Denver went on to score, convert a 2-point conversion and win 39-38.

The play also is likely to be reviewed in the off-season by the league's competition committee, which normally reviews all controversial plays.
For example, until March 2007, down by contact plays were not reviewable. That rule was changed so that they were reviewable, and if a fumble occurred even after the whistle blew, the team recovering it got possession
San Diego coach Norv Turner said he spoke with NFL officials Monday and that the Chargers sent in video of the plays in question.
"As for things that occurred during the game, in my mind, they're done," Turner said. "We sent the plays in to the league that we had in question. We expect to get a response back. Anything that we talk about or anything that is discussed in terms of any of the rules or any of the calls isn't going to change the outcome of that game. That game is going to be 39-38 forever.''

Food and Cooking Hints and Tips
FOOD AND COOKING HINTS AND TIPS
REMOVING CABBAGE LEAVES FOR STUFFED CABBAGE
Traditional way: Cut out the core of the cabbage, then place the entire head in boiling water, let cook a few minutes, remove the cabbage, drain, pull off the leaves that have softened, return the cabbage to the water, and repeat until you have all the softened leaves you need. (You may put a couple of lemon wedges in the pot so the kitchen doesn't reek of cabbage odors)
Another way: Place cabbage head in a plastic bag; freeze overnight, and the next day, thaw. The leaves will be pliable and easy to pull off without breaking.
TO STRETCH AND MAKE CREAMIER FROSTING
To a can of prepared Cream Cheese frosting add- 8 ounce package of cream cheese at room temperature Place soft cream cheese in a bowl and beat for a time. Add the can of frosting and beat together. This will be enough to frost a 9x13-inch cake For a smaller among, just use 1/2 (4 oz.) cream cheese and 1/2 can frosting.
REMOVE EXCESS FAT

He saw Thorin holding him up by his waistcoat,Azog driving his blade threw Thorin (barely missing his heart) , Fili and Kili lying in their cots fighting to take their next breath. A sob escaped his lips as he remembered how Thorin looked. He was heavily bandaged in red stained cloth,pale as snow, black hair matted in blood. Bilbo remembered the words spoken between his lover and himself,how Thorin apologized,and then how he left (after hearing Thorin and his heirs would live) like a coward. Bilbo Baggins was a coward. He was a coward for leaving, he not telling Thorin he was a father,and now for not immediately accepting Fili and Kilis offer
Tears streamed down his face. He felt terrible,all he wanted was to pack everything up and go to Erebor,but he couldn't. He had children to worry about.Two very emerg , lovable kids,who loved him back with the same intensity as he loved them. Thrain. Emerald. His children. Thorins children. He knew what he had to do. With that thought he got out of bed and got ready for his day. After he was done he went to the kitchen to start breakfast. He had two fauntlings and two dwarfs to feed.

Bilbo entered the kitchen and froze. His children and the two durins were covered in flour. "What the hell is going on in here!?" He asked,rather loudly. They whipped there heads to stare at him
in shock. " Bilbo!!" And "Da!!" Was their shocked replies. "Answer me this instant." He demanded. It was Thrain who answered first. "We were trying to make you breakfast in bed,since you missed first breakfast." Was his answer. Bilbo raised an eyebrow ,"and the flour?" "That would be our fault uncle. I threw flour at Fili and he retaliated. Some hit Emerald, she threw some at me but hit Thrain. You can guess what happened next." Answered Kili with his head down." Well then I guess you all better start cleaning up your mess." With that said bilbo leaves the kitchen. He goes to his study and decided to read till he hears that they are finished. When his children finally come into his study they are cleaned and dressed in fresh cloths. He also sees they have braids in there hair. "Who put those in?" He asked picking up on and examining it. "Fili did mine and Kili did Emeralds" Thrain says. Bilbo smiles at that. Then he remembers what he needs to ask his children. "Children I have something very important to ask you. It will change all that you've ever known. But it will also give you a chance to meet your Adad and spend tile with Fili and Kili. So,how would you feel about moving to Erebor?" He looks at his children. Thrain looks ecstatic, Emerald | 512 |

Efficacy and safety of electric heating moxibustion for perennial allergic rhinitis: protocol for a randomized controlled trial
10.1186/s13063-019-3550-xS T U D Y P R O T O C O L Open Access
Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE-mediated disease that adversely affects quality of life. Many studies report that moxibustion is an effective treatment for perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR). However, it is difficult to perform moxibustion on the face because of possible burning of the skin and the noxious effects of smoke. Electric heating moxibustion does not have these limitations. The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the possibility of treating PAR with electric heating moxibustion and to assess the feasibility of conducting a clinical test on a larger scale.Methods: This is a randomized, open-label, assessor-blind, parallel-design pilot clinical study. We will recruit 40 eligible participants and randomly allocate them into an electric heating moxibustion group or an acupuncture group at a 1:1 ratio. Patients in both groups will receive eight treatments over 4 weeks, and the final follow-up will be 4 weeks after the last treatment. Eleven acupuncture points will be used for patients in both groups (EX-HN3 and bilateral EX-HN-8, LI20, LI4, GB20, and ST36). The primary outcome measure is change in the Total Nasal Symptom Score, and the secondary outcome measures are changes in the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire, nasal endoscopy index for pattern identification, pattern identification questionnaire for AR, total IgE, eosinophil count, and adverse effects. Discussion: This clinical trial will examine the effect of electric heating moxibustion on PAR.
Background
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a highly prevalent disease that causes physical, psychological, and social problems in daily life [1]. About 10% of the world's population experience seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR), and about 10-20% have perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) [2]. Symptoms of PAR are present in 25% of pre-school children and 75% of schoolage children in Korea [3]. The prevalence of PAR seems to have increased in recent years. The prevalence of | 512 |

our bank to transfer funds overseas. The ($10.5million Dollars) has
been laying waste in our bank and I don’t want to retire from the bank
without transferring the funds to a foreign account to enable me share
the proceeds with the receiver (a foreigner). The money will be shared
60% for me and 40% for you. There is no one coming to ask you about
the funds because I secured everything. I only want you to assist me
by providing a reliable bank account where the funds can be
transferred.
You are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am
going to handle the transfer personally. If you are capable of
receiving the funds, do let me know immediately to enable me give you
a detailed information on what to do. For me, I have not stolen the
money from anyone because the other people that took the whole money
did not face any problems. This is my chance to grab my own life
opportunity but you must keep the details of the funds secret to avoid
any leakages as no one in the bank knows about my plans. Please get
back to me if you are interested and capable to handle this project, I
shall intimate you on what to do when I hear from your confirmation
and acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate, do
declare your consent to me I am looking forward to hearing from you
immediately for further information.
Thanks with my best regards.

Gents,
A while back someone posted a message about using ESS & knitr to process
Rmarkdown:
http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/Is-there-a-simple-newbie-guide-to-using-k
nitr-in-ESS-td277794.html
Ive spent the better part of the afternoon trying to get a good workflow
going with .Rmd files, but without much luck. The closest Ive come is with
polymode and calling knit2html from within the R subprocess.
Is there a good way to process Rmarkdown files with ESS and knitr now? If
not, any workarounds? I considered a makefile using R as the compiler and
the knit2html function on the file, but that just doesnt seem right (though
it would probably work)
Cheers,

1. In the Beginning
Crashing shattered the forest, the shadows from the mute sun not doing anything for the large group running. Heavy steps tried to close the distance but each time it looked to be over a small figure would roll or change direction. The soft steps barely left a trace, and the chasing party knew that if they lost sight the small figure would easily disappear in to the gloomy forest.
The small figure, a hobbit, could not keep this up, the large group of orcs knew this just as well as the prey. So when the small figure tripped, they both knew this was the end.
Hazel eyes closed for a moment, the youth of the small lad clear, but then it opened showing hidden steel. The orcs laughed and taunted in the twisted and dark language of theirs as they moved steadily closer. The hobbit hoped it would be quick, like his parents, but knew distantly that the odds were not in his favor.
But then something curious happened, a near by tree, a willow, seemed to sway in the breeze and a whisper of a tune reached the sharp pointed ears of the young hobbit. His eyes locked on something faint, but pain forced him to focus on the danger that was facing him. The hobbit, little Bilbo Baggins, knew enough about this forest that he found himself hoping for the first time the stores were true. Just so that the foul creatures would suffer with him as well. A bit dark for a hobbit, but this winter had seeped out any light it would seem.
There was a whistle, then an orc screamed as his arm that gripped a crude sword dropped to the ground. Chaos quickly filled the small area, the trees thick enough that the orcs couldn't get a clear view and the unknown person took advantage of that. Slowly the numbers dwindled, until one orc finally thought to use the hobbit as a shield, but just as the creature lifted the child there was a wet sounding thunk.
The orc's yellow eyes went wide and the mouth opened in | 512 |

You inwardly groaned at the reviews. The place obviously didn't sound that thrilling. You went back to Goodle and looked at the very few images of it. The area seemed to have a lovely landscape, but the town seemed very average. You attentively looked at the shops in the photo to see if you recognized any of them. You didn't. It was bad enough that there wouldn't be any places like Kalvin Groß or Fenni, but there didn't even seem to be any sign of any common shops like Flormart either.
You rolled your eyes as you switched off your phone and plugged in the wire to let it charge. You watched Harry enter the room and pick up the last duffle bag before exiting the room and closing the door behind him.
You were silent as you clapped your hands to turn off the lights. You climbed into bed as your whole room got shrouded in darkness. You turned over onto your side as you pull the duvet over your shoulders before closing your eyes and relaxing on the mattress.

Your eyes snapped open to the sound of your alarm blaring in your ear. You cracked an eye open as you sleepily reached over and pressed the button before retracting your arm and reclosing your eye, ready to fall back asleep.
After a few extra minutes of sleep, you were woken up again by the sound of your bedroom door opening. You mentally groaned at the sound of footsteps approaching your bed. Before you knew it, you were being shaken by two hands as a familiar feminine voice spoke to you.
"Madam, wake up, you need to get dressed," you groaned as you sat up and rubbed the rheum out of your eyes. You quietly climbed out of bed as Ava scurried over to your wardrobe to grab something for you to wear. "What do you want to wear today, madam?"
"Just anything," you replied in a tired tone as you stretched.
Ava then came out with some underwear and a bra, some jeans, and a Varg Jacobis top. She handed you the clothes before you went into your bathroom to change.
A few minutes later you came out as Ava approached you holding some socks, some black boots, and a black leather jacket.
"Boots? Is there a reason why am I dressing slightly fancier than usual?" you asked as you put on the first sock.
"Your father expects you to look nice when out in public since you're representing him," she responded as she handed the next sock. You took it and put it on.

Q:
Re-open: Has the bible been changed over the years?
I believe this question should be re-opened
The reasons to close for a possible duplicate are:
What major discrepancies exist between “versions” of the Bible?
Lineage of Each Verse of Scripture
1) is similar, however it's overly vague.
2) "Lineage of Each Verse of Scripture" what?!? really?!? The answers may be similar but the questions are completely different. Anyone searching for questions is not going to stumble on "Lineage of Each Verse of Scripture" to find their answer.
Please consider voting to reopen
A:
I agree that your question is worded much more clearly than the one I linked to. If for no other reason than as a signpost, I'm willing to rescind my VTC, and move to a reopen :)
Why I called this a duplicate is that the two answers referenced combine exactly your answer your question.
1.) What variation exists? gets to the root of the "has it changed" question
2.) What is the lineage? gives you the resource to see exactly how the manuscripts differ, at the word-in-each-verse level.
Believe it or not, I think this was the first VTC I've ever done on a question of yours, and I promise it isn't out of malice. (I may often disagree with you, but as Monika says, I like your critical thinking.)
I still think this question covers existing ground, however.
Q:
cannot echoing result from table
I can echo $row_count but I am unable to print $first.
Account table contain fname and lname.
Can anyone fix this problem?
public function getAccountInfoAll(){
$acc_info = $this->con->query("SELECT * FROM account");
$results = $acc_info->fetchAll();
$row_count = $acc_info->rowCount();
echo $row_count.' rows selected';
while ($row = $acc_info->fetchAll())
{
$first = $row['fname'];
echo $first;
}
}
A:
Something like this:
public function getAccountInfoAll(){
$acc_info = $this->con->prepare("SELECT * FROM account");
$acc_info->execute();
$row_count = $acc_info->rowCount();
echo $row_count.' rows selected';
while ($row = $acc_info->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$first = $row['fname'];
echo $first;
}

Q:
Command line equivalent of cmake's find_package?
I'm debugging a cmake file which fails to find certain packages (using find_package()). What does find_package() actually do when it searches for packages, and can I simulate it with a command line call (without invoking cmake)?
A:
1. What find_package does:
From the documentation of find_package():
CMake searches for a file called Find.cmake in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH followed by the CMake installation. If the file is found, it is read and processed by CMake.
On Linux, the default scripts usually are located here:
ls /usr/share/cmake*/Modules/Find*.cmake
2. How to use find_package on the command-line:
# cmake --find-package -DNAME=Boost -DCOMPILER_ID=GNU -DLANGUAGE=C -DMODE=EXIST
Boost found
# cmake --find-package -DNAME=Boost -DCOMPILER_ID=GNU -DLANGUAGE=C -DMODE=COMPILE
-I/usr/include
# cmake --find-package -DNAME=Boost -DCOMPILER_ID=GNU -DLANGUAGE=C -DMODE=LINK
