How To Buy Gas
If you own a vehicle, then gasoline should be taking a big chunk of your transportation expenses. Given the escalating price of gasoline, it will definitely help to know the different variants and grades of gasoline which is available in the market, and which is the best for your vehicle's engine and your pocket, of course! Some helpful information is provided in the steps which follow.
Step 1
Types of gasoline. As mentioned above, there are several types of gasoline available in the market today. Some of these may or may not be available in your local area, so it is best that you check with local suppliers on the availability and match of the right type of gasoline for your vehicle.
Step 2
Finished motor gasoline. This type of gas is formed by the mixture of several volatile hydrocarbons, with or without additives, and can be used in vehicles with spark-ignition engines. Within this category, there are three further sub-types of gasoline which are classified - these are conventional gasoline, oxygenated gasoline and reformulated gasoline. Each if these is discussed in separate steps below.
Step 3
Conventional gasoline. This is the most popular and widely available type of gasoline in the United States. This type of gas is sold only in areas where the air quality is acceptable or satisfactory. Conventional gasoline is formulated to vaporize more slowly during the hot, summer season, helping to reduce the presence of smog in the environment.
Step 4
Reformulated gasoline. There are three kinds of standard reformulated gasoline, used in different areas. Standard reformulated gasoline is used in areas where the toxin content in the air is quite high. Oxygenated reformulated gasoline is a special type of gas used only in New York City during the winter season. This curbs the effect of high carbon monoxide pollution. California Phase 2 reformulated gasoline is mandated for use in the state of California since 1996. This type of reformulated gas has a different constitution than regular reformulated gas and is considered much cleaner than the latter.
Step 5
Winter-oxygenated gasoline. This type of fuel reduces the emission of carbon monoxide from the engine exhaust. Chemical which are rich in oxygen, such as ether, tertiary butyl and methyl are added to gasoline to make this fuel. Gasohol is another type of oxygenated gasoline. This is a mix of ethanol and gasoline in a 10:90 proportion. Gasohol is also referred to by various other names such as Unleaded Plus, E-10 or Super Unleaded Plus Ethanol.
Step 6
Gasoline grades. All types of gasoline are classified into a grading system - Regular, Midgrade and Premium. The classification is done on the basis of and octane rating or anti-knock index. Regular gas will have an octane rating of 85-88; midrange gas has a rating between 88 and 90 and premium gasoline carries an octane rating greater than 90.
Once you have clearly understood the various types and grades of gasoline available in the market, it will be easier for you to choose the right fuel for your vehicle. Always remember to get the best grade of fuel as it will prolong your engine's life, provide better mileage and performance and also help in cutting down carbon monoxide emissions and thus keeping the environment clean.

Paul McVeigh
Paul Francis McVeigh (born 6 December 1977) is a former Northern Ireland international footballer who played for Tottenham Hotspur, Norwich City, Burnley and Luton Town in the English Leagues.
Club career
Born in Belfast, McVeigh started his career at Tottenham Hotspur where he made 3 appearances scoring 1 goal against Coventry City. He joined Norwich City in March 2000 on a free transfer. The following season he made 6 starts and 6 substitute appearances. He also scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The following season he scored 10 goals as Norwich reached the final of the Division One play-offs. In the 2002–03 campaign he was the club's top scorer with 15 goals. Most of those goals came when he was partnering Iwan Roberts upfront, although later in the season Worthington decided to move him to left midfield. The following season he scored 5 goals in over 40 appearances and helped Norwich win promotion to the FA Premier League. During the 2004–05 season in the Premier League, McVeigh made 20 first team appearances, and his highlight was when he scored at Old Trafford in Norwich's first away game.
McVeigh was made available for transfer by manager Nigel Worthington at the start of the 2005–06 season although towards the end of 2005 injuries forced Worthington to start McVeigh. McVeigh played incredibly well for the remainder of the season scoring vital goals at Leeds, Leicester and Sheffield United. This helped gain him the player of the month award in December and January and he signed a one-year contract extension. He started off the 2006–07 season from the bench but got a run in the team by October. McVeigh made a bad first impression on new manager Peter Grant when he was sent off for headbutting in injury time during the 1–0 win over Cardiff. McVeigh got very few opportunities under Grant and was loaned out to Burnley for the last few months of the season where he scored 3 goals helping them to survive in the championship. McVeigh was released by Norwich at the end of the 2006–07 season.
In July 2007 McVeigh trained with the Italian Serie B side Pisa before Plymouth Argyle manager Ian Holloway gave him a trial with a view to signing him. A 6-month deal was offered but not accepted and the following month he signed for Luton Town, the ninth player Luton manager Kevin Blackwell had signed in the summer.
McVeigh was offered a free transfer after Luton were relegated at the end of the 2007–08 season, but remained at the club as he was under contract until the end of the 2008–09 season. He featured in the game against Bradford City on 4 October, and then played regularly until late December, scoring his first goal for the club in the 2–1 victory against Dagenham & Redbridge. On 19 May 2009 he began a short trial with MLS team San Jose Earthquakes in a bid to gain a contract after being released from Luton on a free transfer. The following season, 2009–2010, McVeigh began training with his old club Norwich City with City manager Bryan Gunn not ruling out signing McVeigh and on 22 July 2009, McVeigh re-signed for Norwich on a one-year contract. McVeigh made his second debut for Norwich in their 5–2 victory over Wycombe. McVeigh started the first few games under Paul Lambert although and dropped down to the bench while the team went on a 20-game unbeaten run. He made his only appearance in 2010 coming on as a substitute in the 3–0 win over Bristol Rovers. He won his second league title with Norwich helping them gain promotion back to the Championship before calling a day on his professional career.
Norwich fans sing a song dedicated to the popular McVeigh; to the tune of Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off You, it notes the fans' love of him "despite your lack of height".
International career
Between 1999 and 2004 he was capped by Northern Ireland 20 times, first by Lawrie McMenemy in the 1–1 home draw with Canada on 27 April 1999 whilst a youngster at Tottenham, then on 11 occasions by Sammy McIlroy after McVeigh moved to Norwich and finally on eight more occasions by Lawrie Sanchez. He had previously won 11 caps for the under-21 side. McVeigh effectively retired from international football to concentrate on reviving his club career.
McVeigh called on the IFA to drop 'God Save the Queen' as the anthem for the Northern Ireland team.

Midtown Tunnel (Virginia)
The Midtown Tunnel carries U.S. Highway 58 across the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River in the South Hampton Roads area of Virginia, US. It links the cities of Portsmouth and Norfolk. Owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), it is operated and maintained by Elizabeth River Crossings under a 58-year public–private partnership concession agreement. Formerly a toll-free facility, open road tolling was implemented on February 1, 2014 by VDOT to help finance repairs and expansion to the tunnel.
History
The two-lane Midtown Tunnel was completed September 6, 1962, supplementing the Downtown Tunnel and the Berkley Bridge. It was the second fixed crossing directly between Portsmouth and Norfolk across the Elizabeth River. It was financed and built by the Elizabeth River Tunnel Commission with toll revenue bonds. In 1988 and 1989, during an expansion of I-264, the Downtown Tunnel and the Berkley Bridge were rebuilt and expanded. Tolls were also removed from the Midtown and Downtown tunnels at that time. Prior to 2007, the westbound lane of US Route 58, right before the tunnel's entry, had an HOV lane that spanned a total of 25 yards. Until its removal during construction in 2007, this lane allowed HOV traffic to merge in right at the tunnel entrance.
The need for expanded capacity at the Midtown Tunnel location has been well known and documented for decades, but developing a successful funding strategy to expand the tunnel has remained elusive over time. In 2006, the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) undertook a study to determine the feasibility of utilizing toll financing to support the region's high priority unfunded transportation projects, which included the Midtown Tunnel Project. This analysis concluded that the development and enhancements of the Midtown Tunnel and MLK Freeway Extension projects could be financially feasible if tolls were also collected to supplement inadequate public funds. This would include tolling the parallel Downtown Tunnel to create a congestion management plan to prevent the diversion of potential Midtown Tunnel traffic to a competing free facility.
Congestion
During its first year of operation, 8,400 vehicles per day crossed through the tunnel. As port traffic expanded between Norfolk International Terminals and Portsmouth Marine Terminal during the 1980s, tunnel volumes increased year over year, reaching 40,000 vehicles per day in 2013, 3% of which is at least a truck with one trailer (as is typical of trucks leaving the port). As this number greatly exceeds its original capacity, hours of congestion are both a routine and daily occurrence at the crossing.
Floodgate failure
In September, 2003, the Midtown Tunnel was flooded and seriously damaged by Hurricane Isabel. The facility is equipped with floodgates designed for closure to protect it from flooding during extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes. As flood waters were rising during the storm, workers were unable to remove plates that were both bolted and tack-welded to the roadbed. As a result, the flood gates could not be completely closed and the tunnel filled with an estimated 44 million gallons of water. The tunnel suffered substantial electrical and mechanical damage, but was not damaged structurally. It was closed for nearly four weeks as water and sediment was pumped out, systems inspected, and essential repairs were completed. It was later determined that managers of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) had failed to adequately test the floodgates. VDOT revamped its operating procedures at all of its tunnels in the wake of the incident. Studies of additional harbor crossings have also gained additional attention since then.
Public Private Partnership
After numerous studies and legislative attempts to fund the project publicly, Governor Bob McDonnell and VDOT in 2011 contracted with Elizabeth River Crossings (ERC) to build a new Midtown Tunnel, rehabilitate the existing Midtown Tunnel as well as the Downtown Tunnels, and extend the Martin Luther King Freeway. Under the agreement VDOT retained ownership and oversight of the tunnels, however ERC will finance, build, operate and maintain the facilities for a 58-year concession period. ERC will also assume risk of delivering the project on a performance-based, fixed-price, fixed-date contract, protecting users and taxpayers from cost overruns and delays. Funding is expected from tolls, private equity, contributions from the Commonwealth and a low-interest Federal Highway Administration loan. Operation of the tunnel system was turned over to ERC on July 12, 2012.
Construction and rehabilitation
Fabrication on the new Midtown Tunnel began in November 2012 in Sparrows Point, Maryland. The tunnel's 11 concrete elements were towed down the Chesapeake Bay to the Project site in Portsmouth for immersion and placement under the Elizabeth River. By March 2015, the first six elements were in place and production of the remaining five tunnel elements was in progress. Once the new tunnel was constructed, traffic in the existing Midtown Tunnel was converted to one-way eastbound from Portsmouth to Norfolk and the new 2-lane tunnel carried westbound traffic from Norfolk to Portsmouth. Rehabilitation work began in the existing tunnel after the new tunnel was opened. The new, westbound tunnel opened to traffic at 1:40pm EDT on June 17, 2016, with rehabilitation on the eastbound tunnel completed on September 1, 2017.
Tolling
As a part of the funding structure for the project, tolls were established by ERC. Tolls were originally scheduled to begin in late-summer 2012 (in conjunction with ERC assuming operation and maintenance duties in July 2012), however the McDonnell administration authorized a $100 million buydown suspension of the tolls until January 2014. This also gave time for a civil lawsuit to work its way to the Virginia Supreme Court who ruled on the case in November 2013, allowing tolling to begin in February 2014. It will continue through April 13, 2070.
Tolls were originally scheduled to begin at rates of $1.59/non-peak hours and $1.84/peak for cars and $4.77/non-peak and $7.34/peak for heavy vehicles. However, as part of an agreement with ERC, Governor Terry McAuliffe and VDOT agreed to pay ERC $82 million to reduce the toll rates to 75¢/off-peak and $1/peak for cars, and $1.50/off-peak and $4.00/peak heavy vehicles in 2014, with a 25¢ increase every year until the new Midtown Tunnel opens (or until the end of 2017), at which time the toll rates would then return to their originally scheduled rates.
After that, rates will increase annually by a factor equal to the greater of changes to Consumer Price Index or 3.5 percent. | WIKI |
-- Extended Stay Hotel Chain Seeks Up to $500 Million in IPO
Extended Stay America Inc., the mid-price lodging chain owned by Blackstone Group LP (BX) , Centerbridge
Partners LP and Paulson & Co., increased the amount it plans to
raise in an initial public offering to as much as $500 million. Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan
Chase & Co. will underwrite the sale, according to a regulatory
filing today. Extended Stay, the largest owner-operator of
company-branded hotels in North America , filed for the IPO in
July with a placeholder amount of $100 million. The owners, which hold equal parts of the chain, are taking
it public three years after buying it out of bankruptcy.
Extended Stay, based in Charlotte , North Carolina , is seeking to
take advantage of a rally in shares of lodging companies. The
Bloomberg REIT Hotel Index has increased almost 17 percent in
2013 and hovers close to a five-year high. Blackstone, based in New York , also owns Hilton Worldwide
Holdings Inc., which last month filed for a $1.25 billion IPO. Extended Stay is selling paired common stock, comprising
one share of the company and one Class B share of a related
entity that seeks to be taxed as a real estate investment trust,
the filing shows. Each paired share will trade as one unit. Extended Stay expects net proceeds from the IPO of about
$461 million, according to the filing shows. The company owns
and operates almost 700 hotels in the U.S. and Canada , with
about 75,900 rooms. The chain is valued at about $3 billion to
$4 billion, excluding debt, a person with knowledge of the
matter said in July. The company, led by former Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) Chief Executive
Officer Jim Donald, had revenue of $1 billion last year and net
income of $22.3 million, according to today’s filing. It has
changed owners three times during the past decade’s boom and
bust in real estate. To contact the reporters on this story:

Digital Forensics computer science assignment help
Computer imaging is the process of duplicating the data of an entire hard drive. Imaging has many uses. For example, many network and systems administrators use imaging to deploy a consistent operating system installation across a series of computer with the same hardware. This saves the administrator time and effort by not having to load each computer by hand.
However, in the realm of computer forensics, disk imaging is used to make an exact copy of a drive so to not “tamper†or “damage†the original evidence.
• In computer forensics what are the steps to creating an image of a disk?
• What security checks should be performed to ensure an exact copy is made?
• What are some reasons disk imaging is useful in computer forensics

Overgrowth syndrome
Medical quality assurance by Dr. Albrecht Nonnenmacher, MD at August 26, 2016
StartDiseasesOvergrowth syndrome
Overgrowth syndrome refers to a group of genetic disorders characterized by an unusually large birth size and excessive growth after birth. In some cases, specific body parts may be abnormally large. This group of conditions, sometimes referred to synonymously as gigantism, involve symptoms that are typically visible at birth.
Contents
Definition & Facts
There are many specific types of overgrowth syndromes each with their own unique features. The most commonly seen are Sotos syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Other overgrowth syndromes that may be diagnosed include:
Prognosis for those affected by overgrowth syndrome is generally good and the presence of the syndrome itself does not typically cause a reduction in life expectancy. The total number of diagnosed cases is unknown, but the condition occurs fairly commonly. Some overgrowth syndromes, such as Weaver syndrome and macrocephaly-capillary malformation are very rare with a limited amount of cases ever reported. By contrast, Sotos syndrome occurs in 1 out of every 15,000-20,000 births, and Beckwith-Wiedemann occurs in about 1 out of every 14,000 births.
Symptoms & Complaints
Symptoms can vary depending on the specific overgrowth syndrome presented. In almost all cases, the primary features will be extreme physical size and stature and an unusually large head (macrocephaly).
Children with the disorder may also have distinctive facial features including a broad forehead, receding hair line, pointed jaw, facial redness, and downward-sloping eyes.
In the first six years, children often grow unusually tall, typically reaching a height in the 97th percentile. Growth commonly slows down as children age. By the time affected children reach adulthood, height is usually on the high end of the normal range. Some of the disorders may cause an increased risk of developing cancer. This usually occurs in childhood.
Affected children may experience mild to moderate intellectual disability and developmental delays. They may have difficulty reaching milestones like walking and speech, and may have hearing problems or vision problems.
Intelligence quotient (IQ) can range from less than 30 to over 100. Children may also experience issues with social development and sometimes have difficulty forming relationships with their peers.
Infants may have jaundice or have difficulty eating. The syndrome may also be accompanied disorders such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, or brain disease, scoliosis, seizures, neoplasia, and a higher risk of tumor development. Additional symptoms may include pain, difficulty breathing, fatigue, gastrointestinal disease, and difficulty sleeping.
Causes
In some cases, overgrowth syndromes are caused by overproduction of growth hormones by the pituitary gland prior to adolescence. One such disorder is acromegaly. When growth hormones are overproduced and bony growth plates have not closed, the long bones can grow excessively, causing individuals to reach extreme heights.
Other overgrowth syndromes are caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Affected individuals often have no family history of the disorder, suggesting that some of these syndromes may be the result of random genetic mutations or abnormalities. Less often, these syndromes are inherited.
Diagnosis & Tests
As more is learned about the specifics of each type of syndrome, physicians are better able to make accurate diagnoses. Prenatal diagnosis may be done by testing fetal cells that are collected through amniocentesis. Once a child is born, initial diagnosis is done by a thorough clinical evaluation and an assessment of the child’s physical characteristics.
Diagnosis can also be confirmed through DNA tests. Pediatricians will regularly track a child’s growth rate and compare it to established normal rates for children of the same age. This may aid in diagnosis that occurs later in life.
Treatment & Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy in the form of sex steroids (estrogen and testosterone) were used to treat overgrowth syndromes. The objective of the treatment was to fuse the ends of the bones and stop bone growth. It was found, however, that this treatment was not effective enough to warrant the potential side effects and in some cases it actually caused growth spurts.
In order to properly treat the array of medical issues that are often found in affected individuals, parents may need to consult with a team of specialists including a pediatrician, endocrinologist, geneticist, neurologist, surgeon, speech pathologist, orthopedist, ophthalmologist, physical and occupational therapists, and other health professionals.
When dealing with children who have been affected by an overgrowth syndrome, it is easy to unintentionally expect too much from them. It’s important that they are treated according to their age instead of their size. Activities and social interactions should be age-appropriate.
Treatment for overgrowth syndromes focus on managing accompanying symptoms, often through the use of various medications and occasionally, through surgeries. Regular monitoring will be needed to watch for common disorders that may be associated with the disorder. The ultimate goal of all treatments will be to make the patient comfortable and improve the quality of life.
Early intervention such as infant stimulation programs and special education may be helpful for dealing with developmental delays and intellectual and physical disabilities. Social support for both the child and the family is often necessary for coping with the condition. Depending on the specific syndrome diagnosis, clinical trials may also be available.
Prevention & Prophylaxis
A large part of successfully managing overgrowth syndrome lies in proactive diagnosis of associated disorders and monitoring of symptoms. It is recommended that children receive an ultrasound to check for tumors every two to three months until age four, and then every three to six months until age eight.
Ultrasounds of the heart, abdomen, and kidneys are recommended to proactively watch of disorders. Low blood sugar is also common in affected individuals, so regular blood sugar monitoring is recommended. Children should receive a spinal examination to test for scoliosis every one to two years and blood pressure should be monitored regularly.
In order to detect potential problems and proactively intervene as necessary, children should receive eye examinations and hearing examinations, speech, and language evaluations every one to two years.
There are no known methods for preventing children from being affected by overgrowth syndromes. It is recommended that families that have had an affected child seek genetic counseling. A genetic counselor will not be able to prevent the passing of the disorder, but may be able to provide an analysis and insight regarding the likelihood of passing on overgrowth syndrome to future children. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
The fact that Java 9 has been released already half a year ago and reading this article about self contained applications convinced me to try out Java modules myself. The plan was to take an existing project and turn it into a directly executable Java application. I choose my swiss-wowbagger and here’s what happened then.
And here we go:
1. Modularize artifacts under my control
2. Modularize third party dependencies
3. Using jlink to produce an executable file
4. Not using libraries that do not work
5. Cross compiling
6. Conclusion
Modularize artifacts under my control
The first step was to modularize all artifacts that are under my control. This is basically done by adding a module-info.java file to every module defining its dependencies and exports. This is not too hard, just a few points to keep in mind:
• I did not find an “official” documentation of module-info.java so I used several sources e.g. this.
• requires transitive does not mean that a module requires another one and also the dependencies thereof. It means that consumers of the module also see this dependency.
• If a module wants to access a resource of another module using the classloader, the module containing the resource has to enable this using the opens clause.
• Use Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() to load such resources. getClass().getClassLoader() does not work any more.
As Java has a slow pace, I wanted to provide backwards compatibility for Java 8 users. So the jar files should contain module-info.class but the rest of the class files should be compiled for Java 8.
My solution is to put module-info.java into a separate directory src/main/java9 and compile this separately. The following maven profile does the trick.
<profile>
<id>java9</id>
<activation>
<file>
<exists>src/main/java9</exists>
</file>
</activation>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven-compiler.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>java9-compile</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<compileSourceRoots>
<compileSourceRoot>src/main/java9</compileSourceRoot>
</compileSourceRoots>
<source>1.9</source>
<target>1.9</target>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
Modularize third party dependencies
Real world applications have dependencies to other libraries. Unfortunately, very few of them are already supporting the JPMS (Java Platform Module System). In my case, I wanted to use the jetty HTTP server which has no support for it.
To add JPMS support to a given jar file, I see no other way than:
1. Unpack the jar.
2. Write a module-info.java.
3. Compile it.
4. Repack the original files plus module-info.class into a new jar.
Fortunately, there is the ModiTect maven-plugin helping with this. It can generate and add module-info.java to existing jar files. It’s not perfect (Version 1.0.0.Alpha2) as the generated module definitions have to be adjusted sometimes, but it helps a lot in the process.
The configuration for one dependency looks like this (real projects can have dozens of dependencies!):
<plugin>
<groupId>org.moditect</groupId>
<artifactId>moditect-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Alpha2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generate-module-infos</id>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>generate-module-info</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>target/generated-module-infos</outputDirectory>
<modules>
<module>
<artifact>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
<artifactId>kotlin-stdlib</artifactId>
<version>${kotlin.version}</version>
</artifact>
</module>
</modules>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>add-module-infos</id>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>add-module-info</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>target/modules</outputDirectory>
<overwriteExistingFiles>true</overwriteExistingFiles>
<modules>
<module>
<artifact>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
<artifactId>kotlin-stdlib</artifactId>
<version>${kotlin.version}</version>
</artifact>
<moduleInfoFile>
target/generated-module-infos/kotlin.stdlib/module-info.java
</moduleInfoFile>
</module>
</modules>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
With this, I was able to add module definitions to all artifacts/jar files of the project.
When a project is fully modularized, the jlink tool can be used to pack it together with just the necessary parts of the JDK into a self contained executable file, feeling just like a “native” application.
There is the jlink maven-plugin which is supposed to help with this task, but all I was able to get from it was NullPointerExceptions.
But jlink can also be used directly, it just needs to find the modules to pack:
• target/modules contains the enhanced third party modules generated in the previous step.
• target/dependency contains all dependencies and the main module. jlink is clever enough to only pick up the JPMS dependencies and to ignore the others.
To populate the later one, this maven config is used:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<configuration>
<includeScope>compile</includeScope>
<excludeTransitive>false</excludeTransitive>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>prepare jlink</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<target>
<copy file="target/${project.build.finalName}.jar"
todir="target/dependency" />
</target>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Then, I ran jlink by
$JAVA_HOME/bin/jlink
--module-path target/modules:target/dependency:$JAVA_HOME/jmods
--add-modules swiss.wowbagger.server
--launcher wowbagger=swiss.wowbagger.server/guru.nidi.wowbagger.server.WowbaggerServer
--output target/jlinked
and got a lot of error messages.
After a rather not short time of tweaking module definitions, jlink was happy and it produced some output. I run it and got more error messages.
After more module tweaking, I was finally able to run the executable and I saw that jetty was listening to the specified port. Yay!
But whatever I did, requests to this port were not responded. Never. I suspect that the module definitions are still not 100% correct and that this causes something in the jetty internals to go wrong. Bummer!
Not using libraries that do not work
The project’s requirements for the HTTP server are not very high, so it would have been possible to kick out jetty and just write my own little server from scratch. But for a long time, the JDK itself contains a HTTP server: com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer. This is evil because it sits in a com.sun package which is not supported and can change at any time.
But as the JDK is packed together with the application, JDK changes on a client machine do not affect the application in any way. Problem solved.
And sure enough, with this change, everything worked fine! A java application that feels like a native one!
Cross compiling
Having a “native” application is nice and has some advantages. But it has the disadvantage that it is only runnable on the operating system it was compiled for.
But it seems that cross compiling java “native” applications is no problem. Just download the JDK for your target OS and reference its jmods directory: jlink --module-path ...:$TARGET_OS_JAVA_HOME/jmods. At least this worked for me on MacOS to create a linux executable.
Conclusion
Java 9 Modules (JPMS) is definitely an interesting topic and the possibility to create independently executable applications too. Now, half a year after its inception, there are still very few projects supporting it. It remains to be seen if it will get widespread support or if it will stay mainly a means to just modularize the JDK itself.
I was able to produce a (semi-real world) standalone Java application. It’s up and running, powering this insulting web site. But as long as most libraries do not support JPMS, I would definitely not recommend it for real productive systems. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

1. First records of Tarentola mauritanica (Linnaeus, 1758) (Reptilia; Gekkonidae) in the Azores
Barreiros, João P.; Elias, Rui B.; Lourenço, Joana; Dias, Eduardo; Borges, Paulo A. V.
The Moorish gecko Tarentola mauritanica (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widespread species native to the Mediterranean region from southern France to Greece and northern Africa (Loveridge 1947; Martínez-Rica 1997; Hódar 2002; Perera et al. 2008, 2010; Plezeguelos et al. 2008). It has recently been reported as living and breeding in California (Marhdt 1998) and also as an introduced species in Madeira (Báez & Biscoito 1993). Tarentola mauritanica is paraphyletic with respect to T. angustimentalis Steindachner, 1891, a Canary Islands endemic (Harris et al. 2004a). Here we report new occurrences of the Moorish gecko on Terceira Island, Azores archipelago, and 3 other occurrences on the islands...
2. Shrimps (Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea) associated with gorgonians at the coast of Senegal
Wirtz, Peter; Grave, Sammy de
Symbioses are common in the marine environment. Some taxa appear to be particularly prone to be involved in associations. Crustaceans probably form more associations with other classes than any other marine animals (Ross 1983), crustacean – cnidarian associations being particularly common (Patton 1967). Gorgonianassociated decapods have been described from both sides of the Atlantic (e.g. Spotte et al. 1994, 1995, Wirtz & d´Udekem d´Acoz 2001, Wirtz et al. 2009). Gorgonians were therefore searched for associated decapods during three dives in the area of NGor, Senegal, i.e. at the western tip of Africa.
3. First records of some species of Diptera (Insecta) from the Azores
Roháček, Jindřich; Starý, Jaroslav
During a collecting trip undertaken by J. Roháček and M. Vála in the São Miguel Island (Azores) in August and September 2006, mainly devoted to acalyptrate flies, three distinctive species of Diptera were found, two of which proved to be hitherto unrecorded from the Azorean archipelago. These additions to the regional fauna are presented below with a discussion of their origin. The voucher specimens of the species recorded below are deposited in the following collections: JSO – collection of J. Starý, Olomouc, Czech Republic, SMOC – Silesian Museum, Opava, Czech Republic, ZMAN – Zoological Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
4. The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) on Sal Island, Cape Verde : nesting activity and beach surveillance in 2009
Lino, Sílvia P. P.; Gonçalves, Euclides; Cozens, Jacquie
Surveys for Caretta caretta nesting activities were performed during the nesting seasons from the middle of June to end of October 2009 on Sal Island, Cape Verde. A total of 3628 activities were registered: 1071 nests, 2466 turtle tracks and 91 dead turtles. On nesting beaches still used by locals to catch female turtles for their meat, nightly patrols from 9 pm to 5 am resulted in a significant reduction in turtle mortality in comparison to non patrolled beaches. On beaches regularly patrolled, an increment of nests per km was also observed which allows us to conclude that the presence of...
5. Designing a shipboard line transect survey to estimate cetacean abundance off the Azores archipelago
Faustino, Cláudia E. S.; Silva, Mónica A.; Marques, Tiago A.; Thomas, Len
Management schemes dedicated to the conservation of wildlife populations rely on the effective monitoring of population size, and this may require the accurate and precise estimation of this parameter. Line transect distance sampling can be an effective approach for estimating abundance. Little information is available regarding cetacean abundance in the Azores. This paper had two aims: 1) to design a line transect shipboard survey to estimate the absolute abundance of the most common cetaceans off the Azores; and 2) to provide a set of potential survey effort scenarios to policy makers and environmental managers. Three survey scenarios are assessed, and one...
6. Experimental harvesting of juvenile common octopus Octopus vulgaris, for commercial ongrowing in the Azores
Pham, Christopher K.; Isidro, Eduardo
Octopus aquaculture is currently restricted to ongrowing of sub-adult to commercial size because culture of paralarvae remains a bottleneck. In most countries, commercial ongrowing rely upon existing pot fisheries for octopuses for obtaining their specimens. In the Azores, such fishery does not exist and effective methods of harvest are required if farming is to be implemented. In this study, we investigated the potential of obtaining subadult octopuses on the coast of Faial Island, Azores. Two sets of traps (n=30) consisting of 3 PVC tubes within cement blocks were set-up on two different substrates; soft sediment (Pedro Miguel) and rocky-sand (Pasteleiro) at depth...
7. Check-list of interstitial polychaetes from intertidal and shallow subtidal soft bottoms of Tenerife, Canary Islands
Riera, Rodrigo; Núñez, Jorge; Carmen Brito, María del
A check-list of polychaete species from two stations on the south coast of Tenerife (Los Abrigos and Los Cristianos) at two different tidal levels, intertidal and shallow subtidal (3 m depth) is presented. A total of 47 species were collected, the hesionid Microphthalmus pseudoaberrans Campoy & Viéitez, 1982 and the spionids Rhynchospio glutaea (Ehlers, 1897) and Spio filicornis (O.F. Müller, 1776) being the most abundant. With 18 species the family Syllidae is the most diverse, followed by the Spionidae and Paraonidae with 6 and 5 species, respectively. The interstitial polychaetes found are represented by both meiofaunalsized and small-sized macrofaunal species.
8. Phytobenthic communities of intertidal rock pools in the eastern islands of Azores and their relation to position on shore and pool morphology
Wallenstein, Francisco; Peres, Sara D.; Xavier, Emanuel D.; Neto, Ana I.
This study aimed to characterize algal composition inside rock-pools from two islands of the Azores archipelago (São Miguel and Santa Maria) and relate it to shore height and pool morphology. Pools were categorized as upper, medium and lower intertidal according to the surrounding communities. Maximum depth and surface area were used to reflect morphology and qualitative sampling to evaluate algal species richness. PRIMER software assessed the similarity across islands, sites, shore heights and pool morphology. Eighty eight algal taxa were identified in pools from São Miguel and 52 from Santa Maria. Rhodophycean species dominated rock-pool flora on both islands. Differences were...
9. The cave‐adapted arthropod fauna from Madeira archipelago
Serrano, Artur R. M.; Borges, Paulo A. V.
This work provides an overview of the hypogean fauna from the Madeira archipelago, presenting a list of obligated cave-dwelling species. A total of 6 troglobiont species in 5 orders have been described to date. The cave fauna in Madeira can be considered poor when compared with either the local epigean fauna or the cave fauna of other Macaronesian archipelagos. Curious is the occurrence of one wood-louse cave species (Trichoniscus bassoti), which apparently is the only troglobite living in more than one Macaronesian archipelago (Canaries and Madeira). Major problems related to the conservation of cave fauna are discussed, but it is clear that the protection...

Poland's PKN says talks with EU over Lotos bid most difficult
WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland’s biggest oil refiner, the state-run PKN Orlen, said on Monday negotiations with the European Commission over its planned takeover of smaller rival Lotos (LTSP.WA) had entered their most difficult phase. PKN said last year that it planned to buy at least a 53% stake in rival Lotos (LTSP.WA), which has a market capitalization of 16.6 billion zlotys ($4.38 billion), from the government. It formally requested the Commission approval last week and sources familiar with the situation in Brussels and Warsaw said that due to competition concerns PKN will likely face long and difficult talks with the Commission. “There are various difficulties, including preventive measures, talks with competition, it has to make sense for us in business terms. We are doing everything for the process to succeed. There is always a risk,” PKN Chief Executive Daniel Obajtek told reporters, without elaborating. “Now the negotiations are in the most difficult phase, we meet the Commission much more often, talk to the competition,” Obajtek also said. The Commission can either clear the deal with or without conditions after its preliminary review or it can open a four-month long investigation. Sources said PKN faced a four-month probe since the combination of companies ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in a sector is always problematic for EU competition enforcers. PKN had expressed hopes to complete the deal by the end of this year. Reporting by Agnieszka Barteczko; editing by Emelia Sithole-Matarise | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Articular cartilage stem cell paste grafting
Cartilage repair techniques are the current focus of large amounts of research. Many different strategies have been proposed as solutions for cartilage defects. Surgical techniques currently being studied include:
* bone marrow stimulation
* osteochondral autograft transplantation
* osteochondral allograft transplantation
* autologous chondrocyte implantation
* cell-based (using chondrocytes or stem-cells) or acellular scaffolding
Articular cartilage stem cell paste grafting is another technique in use and is undergoing continued investigation.
Background
Articular cartilage is a connective tissue overlying the ends of bones that provides smooth joint surfaces. Healthy cartilage is essential to the proper functioning of joints within the body.
Cartilage is composed of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix of collagen fibers and proteoglycans. It contains no blood vessels therefore its cells are dependent upon diffusion for the supply of oxygen and nutrients. Its intrinsic healing capacity is low. Injury to cartilage can lead to pain and stiffness and is the precursor to the development of osteoarthritis (degenerative joint arthritis).
History
Articular cartilage stem cell paste grafting was initially described by Kevin R. Stone M.D., a San Francisco-based orthopedic surgeon, in 1997. The technique was devised in response to reports that many of the contemporary cartilage restoration procedures lead to the development of fibrocartilage, not true hyaline articular cartilage. Knowing that fibrocartilage was not as durable as articular cartilage and that its formation yielded only short term clinical benefits, Stone proposed his paste grafting as a means of regenerating hyaline-like cartilage. The hypothesis was that harvesting a mixture of articular cartilage and cancellous bone would combine pluripotent cells of the cancellous bone with cartilage extracellular matrix and growth factors and when exposed to continuous motion, hyaline-like cartilage would be stimulated to form.
Surgical Procedure
Published descriptions of the articular cartilage stem cell paste grafting technique are readily available. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. The surgical steps are summarized here: Postoperatively, patients are requested to use a continuous passive motion machine for 6 hours a night for 4 weeks. If the defect is in a weight-bearing region, weight-bearing is restricted for 4 weeks. A guided physical therapy program begins on postoperative day 1.
* The lesion is cleared of loose or fibrillated cartilage
* The base of the lesion is penetrated with an arthroscopic awl it is entirely morselized
* Tissue for grafting is harvested using a trephine that is impacted into the margin of the articular cartilage and underlying cancellous bone at the medial border of the lateral femoral condyle
* The trephine is removed and the articular cartilage and cancellous bone is morselized in a graft impactor
* The graft paste is re-loaded into the trephine and impacted into the fractured bed of the chondral defect
* The paste graft is held in place for 1 to 2 minutes
Results
In a 2 to 12 year follow-up of 125 patients, pain, functioning, and activity measures improved in 82% of patients. Eighteen of the 125 patients (14.4%) were considered failures. Histologically, 42 of 66 (63.6%) of biopsies showed strong evidence of replacement of their articular surface, and 18 of 66 biopsies (27.3%) showed development of normal looking hyaline cartilage.
Advantages
Paste grafting is a relatively simple surgical procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. It requires minimal special instrumentation. Unexpected lesions can be treated. No tissue culture or foreign matrices are required. Paste grafting has been an effective salvage procedure for failed microfracture, failed Osteochondral Autograph Transplant Surgery (OATS) or Mosaicplasty procedures, Carticel and TruFit procedures. Compared to the cost of other complex cartilage restoration procedures, the cost of paste grafting is minimal. Disadvantages include limited experience with patella paste grafting and it remains difficult to access the very far posterior lesions. | WIKI |
France cuts cost of sacking traders to lure banks post-Brexit
PARIS (Reuters) - The French parliament has approved measures to cut the cost of sacking traders by excluding their bonuses from compulsory redundancy payouts, in a move aimed at luring banks’ trading activities to Paris as Britain leaves the European Union. Paris and Frankfurt are at the forefront of a race among European cities to attract London financial services businesses that need a base in the European Union to continue serving customers in the bloc after Britain leaves in March 2019. France has stepped up efforts to attract London banks to Paris after the election of President Emmanuel Macron, who has cut taxes and taken steps to make labor laws more flexible. France’s lower house of parliament approved the measures late on Thursday, just days after Paris was picked to host the European Banking Authority (EBA), giving new momentum to its bid to attract banking jobs after Brexit. “In order to improve the attractiveness of Paris as a financial center in the context of Brexit and for social justice, it seems preferable to exclude these bonuses from compulsory redundancy payouts and possible court awards,” Labour Minister Muriel Penicaud told lawmakers. Goldman Sachs has already said it will make Paris and Frankfurt its European hubs after Brexit. Bank of America is also looking to lease more office space in Paris, according to two sources familiar with the matter, while Citigroup is applying for a licence to conduct investment banking activities in France. JPMorgan Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said in October the U.S. bank might move 60 jobs to Paris. Reporting by Simon Carraud and Emile Picy; Writing by Michel Rose.

So Mike Sexton is a big name in poker but how would you mind adding external links to some of the big names in poker. I have just recently "discovered" a website which is a great source when it comes to poker and poker generally. I have been reading some of their bio's of poker players and they are well written and should be a nice supplement to wikipedia. I want to discuss adding several external links to some of the bigger names in poker. I have seen that poker-babes.com is another frequent poker guide at several pages here, but would it be too much with another site? Let me know what you think. This is the main page of their poker player profiles http://www.ixgames.com/poker_player_profiles/

Jamie Dimon says WeWork will survive and he's learned from the debacle
Jamie Dimon says that he has learned lessons from his bank's advisory work for WeWork this year, and that he believes the coworking company has a shot to avoid bankruptcy. "I think they'll have a future life," Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase, said in an interview with CNBC's Wilfred Frost from the bank's offices in London. "We want them to do that," Dimon said. "We don't want them to lay off 14,000 people and have bankruptcy or something like that. There are a lot of lessons to be learned on the way by everybody involved, and I've learned a few myself." Among the lessons are that companies should have "proper corporate governance" and an independent board before filing to go public, he said. Shareholders should be treated like partners, rather than figuring out how to extract the highest valuation, he said. Dimon, who reportedly directly advised former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann, declined to say whether Neumann or the company had been misled by banks. While WeWork ultimately choose a bailout from SoftBank, which had earlier invested in the company at a $47 billion valuation, J.P. Morgan had arranged for a financing deal after the IPO plans imploded in late September. "You don't know the private advice we gave him or the company," Dimon said. "I do think we helped WeWork get to a proper conclusion, which I think is very important," Dimon added later. "I really would've been bothered and upset mostly if that company had been a failure and had a chance to succeed, and now it has a chance to succeed." | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Navigating the Market for Rock Crushers: A Comprehensive Guide to Finding the Perfect Equipment for Your Mining and Construction Needs
Access to the right equipment is essential for ensuring efficient and cost-effective operations in the mining and construction industries. One of the most critical machinery in these fields is the rock crusher. If you’re looking for a rock crusher, this guide is here to assist you. It offers valuable advice on locating the ideal rock crusher for sale that caters to your requirements.
Understanding Rock Crushers
Rock crushers are virtual machines that break down large rocks, boulders, and mineral deposits into smaller, more manageable pieces. They are crucial in various industries, including mining, construction, quarrying, and recycling. Rock crushers come in different types and sizes, each designed for specific applications and materials.
Types of Rock Crushers
When searching for a rock crusher for sale, it’s essential to understand the different types available on the market. Some of the most common types include:
1. Jaw Crushers: These crushers use a simple yet powerful mechanism where two jaws – stationary and mobile – crush the material between them. Jaw crushers are particularly effective primarily for grinding medium to hard materials.
2. Cone Crushers: Cone crushers utilize a rotating cone within a bowl to crush the material. These crushers are well-suited for the secondary and tertiary crushing stages because they can produce a more polished end product.
3. Impact Crushers: Impact crushers use a high-speed rotor to fling material against an impact plate, causing it to shatter. These crushers are particularly effective for soft to medium materials and can produce a well-shaped final product.
4. Gyratory Crushers: Gyratory crushers consist of a conical head and a concave surface, with the material being crushed between them. These crushers are suitable for the primary and secondary grinding of large, rigid materials.
Considerations When Looking for a Rock Crusher for Sale
To find the perfect rock crusher for your needs, consider the following factors:
1. Application: Determine the primary purpose for which you will be using the rock crusher. This will help you narrow down the crusher type most suitable for your needs.
2. Material: Consider the type of material you will be processing. Some rock crushers are better suited for specific materials, such as hard or abrasive rocks, while others are more effective for softer materials.
3. Capacity: Evaluate the amount of material you need to process and choose a rock crusher that can match your production requirements.
4. Portability: Depending on your project’s location and mobility requirements, consider portable rock crushers that can be easily moved and set up on-site.
5. Budget: Rock crushers can vary significantly in price, so it’s essential to establish a budget and prioritize features that are most important to your needs.
Finding the Right Supplier
When looking for a rock crusher for sale, finding a reputable supplier that offers high-quality equipment and excellent customer support is crucial. Some tips for finding the right supplier include:
1. Research: Conduct thorough research on potential suppliers, looking for those with a strong reputation and a history of satisfied customers.

Water - Our body's lifeblood
The human body can last weeks without food but only days without water. The body consists of about 55 to 75 percent water. Water is the basis of blood, digestive juices, urine and perspiration and is contained in lean muscle, fat and bone.
Since the body can not store water, we need to refuel every day to compensate for losses from lungs, skin, urine and feces. Water is needed to maintain health and integrity of every cell of your body to retain fluid enough blood flow in blood vessels to remove the by-products of body metabolism, helping to eliminate toxins, regulates body temperature by sweating, lubrication and cushion joints and transport nutrients and oxygen to body cells, to name a few. Drinking fresh, clean water plays an important role in reducing the risk of certain diseases.
Water loss from the body through the urine is increased significantly by the consumption of alcoholic beverages and caffeine. These drinks have a diuretic effect, meaning that they stimulate the kidneys to excrete more urine. We not only lose water, we also lose water soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin B (thiamin) and other B complex vitamins. For all beverages containing caffeine or alcohol you drink, you must add a additional glass of pure water.
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables provide about 4 cups of water per day. Even with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, you always need to drink 6-8 glasses of extra water per day to supply enough water to meet the daily needs of the organization. For all beverages containing caffeine or alcohol you drink, add a glass of pure water.
Dehydration occurs when the body water content is too low. This can be easily fixed by increasing fluid intake. Symptoms of dehydration include headaches, fatigue, mood changes and slow responses, dry nasal passages, dry or cracked lips, dark urine, weakness, fatigue, confusion and hallucinations. Eventually urination stops, the kidneys fail and the body is unable to eliminate toxic waste. In extreme cases this can lead to death.
About six to eight glasses a series of liquids can be consumed daily. More than eight glasses may be needed for physically active people, children, people in hot or humid environments and nursing women. Less water may be needed for sedentary people, older people, people in a cold environment or people who eat lots of foods with high water content.

Sort DataTable Activity Not Working as Expected
Hi,
I am having problem with sorting the datatable. we have a list of columns that have multiple values. I am trying to sort the table by particular columns as descending order. However it’s not outputting properly. The input value is stored as Double and other columns are stored as “String”.
Please see the attached for sample data
sampleout
As you can see it’s not sorting properly. I am trying to sort it by “Balace” Columns. Excel file is just to show what the table would look like with random number.
Hi , You can use code manually to get that done
Pls use below function in assign activity to sort the DataTable
dt=dt.AsEnumerable.OrderBy(function(r) CType(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(r(0).ToString,“[\d.]+(?=%)”).ToString,double)).CopyToDataTable
In the above Function I have sorted based on ‘%’
I forgot to mention. we stored the data as array of string and stored it inside the data table. that’s the only thing i can think of why sort activity is not working.
i used this method to sort it
DataView dv = dt.DefaultView;
dv.sort =“columns desc”
DataTable sortedDt = dv.Table;
Then i use sort table activity again to sort it.
Not sure why i have to sort 2 times but it works

Adieu, dear Duffy, I have written more than enough. If' I had a free pen, how many things could I still write; but perhaps it is better not!

Parliament was to reassemble in May, and during the recess two things had been going on simultaneously, the colony had been pronouncing for the Government in successive demonstrations from Geelong to Stawell with an enthusiasm which had no parallel in our history, and the groups of the Opposition which a year or two before had assailed each other with language of unbridled contumely were agreeing to a vote of no confidence, and manipulating doubtful individuals. All the great fortunes in the colony were among our opponents. Their exclusive interests were at stake, and they spent lavishly in social efforts to unite all the sections of the Opposition against the obnoxious Government. I would be ashamed to record some of the base devices employed to cajole individual opinion. An amendment on the Governor's speech, which looked ludicrous in its naked cynicism, was proposed. The one measure which was notoriously an open question in the Cabinet was education, and we were censured for not submitting an Education Bill to the House. I answered we were not agreed upon Education, nor was the House agreed upon it; we were prepared to submit measures on which practical results might be obtained, but Education was not such a question; my predecessor and others before him had failed to induce the House to agree to any Education Bill.

General Problems
Trapped Nerve
The nerves in the body are formed in the neck and back and then spread out like wires through out the whole body. They enable us to feel what is going on and to work our bodies.
There is no spare space in the neck or back so if anything goes wrong - some bruising, swelling or a bulging disc this can press on the nerve. The pain can then be felt anywhere along the course of the nerve.
Nerve pain is particularly severe and can be accompanied by numbness or pins and needles sensations, weakness in muscles and changes in reflexes.
A trapped nerve can occur anywhere in the spine but the one most people are familiar with is 'Sciatica' where the Sciatic nerve in the low back is trapped causing severe pain in to the leg and foot. A trapped nerve can also occur in the neck which will cause symptoms in to the arm. More rarely a trapped nerve can occur between the ribs.
Physiotherapy can be very helpful in the treatment of a trapped nerve. Usually your GP will prescribe medication to ease some of the pain, reduce the inflammation and perhaps reduce muscle spasm.
Your Physiotherapist will then be able to help further with pain relief by using such things as acupuncture, electrotherapy, gentle mobilisation and manipulation and progressive exercise. Education will form an important part of the treatment to prevent recurrence.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a complicated and perplexing condition which is still not fully understood by the medical professions. It presents as a syndrome of symptoms.
The main features of fibromyalgia include widespread pain, sleep and mood disturbances and tender points to name but a few.
Treatment is usually multi-faceted with many medical professionals and other practitioners contributing to the patient's management.
The most common symptoms of fibromyalgia - pain and stiffness - can respond well to Physiotherapy treatment. Each patient will present differently and so an individual programme will be devised.
This may include gentle mobilisation and manipulation techniques, specific exercise regimes and education on managing the condition.
Bursitis
A bursa is a small fluid filled sac that is found over joints and where a tendon slides over the bone. The bursa is designed to provide cushioning and minimize the friction between the two structures. A bursitis is when the bursa has become inflamed.
There are a number of 'bursae' around the body and the common areas to get a bursitis are the hip (trochanteric), the shoulder, the elbow, the knee and the heel.
The symptoms of a bursitis are usually aching and stiffness but can sometimes be a sharper pain. The area can also be swollen and quite tender to touch.
A bursitis is normally caused by too much compression of the bursa or repetitive use of the tendons surrounding the bursa. For example in the shoulder it may come on after repeated throwing. In the knee, too much kneeling or kneeling for long periods may irritate the bursa and cause it to become inflamed.
Treatment initially tends to be ice, anti-inflammatories, rest and unloading of the bursa. Other ways that Physiotherapy can help is by using soft tissue massage and stretching to the tight tendons, or local electrotherapy such as ultra sound.
The physiotherapist will also assess for any muscle imbalances around the area that have contributed to the bursitis or may be preventing the bursa from healing.
Arthritis
This is a term that is used to describe problems with joints in the body. It is important to be very clear what is meant by the word as it can be used to describe quite different conditions.
If used accurately, arthritis means inflammation of the joints. These can be quite severe and unpleasant conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis and Gout.
A variety of tests will need to be performed to make the diagnosis but usually blood tests will confirm what is going on. Such conditions often need ongoing medical management and regular medication.
Unfortunately, arthritis, is also used to describe the normal wear and tear processes that happen over life in all our joints. This can be painful but is not as serious as the inflammatory conditions.
Physiotherapy has an important role to play whatever type of arthritis you have. A thorough assessment will enable the Physiotherapist to identify specific problems and formulate an individual treatment plan.
Pain relief is important. This can be provided by the use of acupuncture, electrotherapy and also gentle exercise and massage techniques. Very stiff areas will benefit from mobilising and invariably there are weak muscles which need to be strengthened. Some people will require advice on protecting their joints and on managing their symptoms in the long term.
Neuralgia
Neuralgia is a general term used to describe pain from nerves. It can refer to pain from any nerve in the body but is commonly used to describe the pain some people experience after having shingles (Post-Herpatic neuralgia) or a specific and very unpleasant type of facial pain (Trigeminal neuralgia).
Post-Herpatic Neuralgia
Shingles is caused by a virus which affects the nerves. It can cause flu-like symptoms and a rash with pain along the course of the nerve. If the pain is still present after some months it will be called Post-Herpatic Neuralgia.
This can be very painful indeed and can be associated with other post viral symptoms such as fatigue. Fortunately, the prognosis is good for the great majority of people although recovery can take some time.
Most people benefit from pain killers which target nerve pain and Physiotherapy can help further with pain relief in the form of electrotherapy or acupuncture
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a very severe facial pain caused by problems with the Trigeminal Nerve. The pain is usually on one side of the face and can be a severe constant aching or sharp and shooting in nature.
The cause is not fully understood but it is generally thought to be changes along the course of the nerve itself.
Trigeminal Neuralgia is usually treated with medication to target the nerves specifically. Where treatment with medication is not successful, there are various surgical options that can be considered.
Acupuncture has also been found to be useful in providing pain relief.

First Lutheran Church of the Reformation
The First Lutheran Church of the Reformation is a historic church at 77 Franklin Square in New Britain, Connecticut. The congregation was founded in 1885 and the current church building was constructed 1903-07. The building, a fine local example of Late Gothic Revival architecture, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
Architecture and history
The First Lutheran Church of the Reformation stands in downtown New Britain, on the west side of Franklin Square near its northern end. It is a large stone structure, built out of granite and adorned with Gothic features. It is symmetrical, with a pair of square four-stage towers rising to pinnacles on either side of the front facade; the original steeples were removed after one was struck by lightning. The tower corners are buttressed, and the side window bays are articulated by buttresses. Windows are generally lancet-arched in the Gothic style. At the center of the main facade is a large rose window set in a recessed lancet-arched panel.
New Britain saw a large influx of immigrants from northern Europe in the second half of the 19th century. Both Germans and Swedes settled in the city in large numbers, bringing their Lutheran faith with them. The First Lutheran Church of the Reformation was formally organized in the 1880s, when its first building was erected. The present building was constructed in 1903-07 to provide space for its rapidly growing congregation. It was designed by William Caldwell, with later additions in the 20th century by Walter Crabtree. | WIKI |
Burhan Belge
Burhan Belge (1 February 1899 – 12 January 1967) was a Turkish politician and diplomat, who was a prominent figure among the young intellectuals during the early periods of Republic of Turkey and served as the representative of Muğla province during the 11th term of the Turkish National Assembly. He was a regular contributor to Kadro, a left-wing journal dedicated to "discussions on ideology and economic-development strategy." In the 1950s he began to write for the Democrat Party newspaper Zafer.
He is the father of prominent Turkish intellectual Murat Belge and the first husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor (from May 1935 to December 1941), whom he met in Hungary while serving as Ambassador of Turkey to Budapest. Gabor was 18 years old when they married and they did not have any children together. He was also a brother-in-law of Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu. | WIKI |

Accepted Answer
The ability to rotate an image around a point is not available directly in MATLAB.
However, to work around this issue, rotating an image around a point is possible by first zero-padding the image (calculating how many rows and columns to pad to create a "virtual center"), rotating around its center (using "imrotate"), and then cropping to remove the initial padding ("un-pad" the image).
There is a File exchange submission that performs this rotation using the above methodology.
Download this file and add it to MATLAB's path before use. The provided example in the function's help documentation works fine:
imshow(rotateAround(imread('eight.tif'), 1, 1, 10));

Magic: The Gathering Arena
Magic: The Gathering Arena or MTG Arena is a free-to-play digital collectible card game developed and published by Wizards of the Coast (WotC). The game is a digital adaption based on the Magic: The Gathering (MTG) card game, allowing players to gain cards through booster packs, in-game achievements or microtransaction purchases, and build their own decks to challenge other players. The game was released in a beta state in November 2017, and was fully released for Microsoft Windows users in September 2019, and a macOS version on June 25, 2020. Mobile device versions were released in March 2021.
Gameplay
MTG Arena follows the same rules as the physical card game, in which players use decks of cards that include land cards that generate five separate colors of mana, and play cards that consume that mana to summon creatures, cast offensive and defensive spells, and/or activate effects and abilities. Players battle other players using a selected deck, with the goal of reducing the opponent's life-total to zero before their opponent can do the same to them.
MTG Arena supports both Constructed Deck play and Limited play. In Constructed play, players create decks of cards from their library. The game gives new players a library of base cards and pre-made decks from those cards, but as players win matches and complete daily quests, they can earn new booster packs that add cards to their library, and allow players to then customize their decks and improve them. Unlike most physical packs of Magic cards and those used in Limited events, which usually contain 15-16 playable cards, purchased packs in MTG Arena contain 8 cards (1 Mythic/Rare, 2 Uncommon, and 5 Common).
The most popular type of limited play, booster draft, pits players against seven other players by having them choose and acquire cards in turn from packs that are supplied by the game. Those cards are then used to create a Limited deck used for the event. An additional Limited format called Sealed allows players to open a set number of special booster packs and build a deck only with cards from those packs. In both varieties of Limited, players attempt to win as many matches as they can with that deck. In best-of-one, the event ends once the player has either won 7 or lost 3 matches. In best-of-three, the event ends after the player completes three matches, regardless of their outcome. In most Limited events, the player keeps all the cards drafted and adds them to their library, and there are generally prizes based on wins that may give booster packs or in-game currency as a reward.
MTG Arena supports best-of-three and best-of-one matches for both Limited and Constructed. In best-of-one games, players' opening hands are not random; rather, the client generates multiple hands and selects one based on certain properties of the player's deck. Hand-smoothing exists to reduce the variance inherent to the game, which is exacerbated by the best-of-one format. The exact algorithm is not known to the public.
Arena follows the popular freemium paradigm, allowing users to play for free with optional microtransactions. Players can use real-world currency to buy gems or in-game currency, which can be spent on booster packs or enter draft or constructed events. Gems are also given as rewards for winning draft mode. In addition to regular cards from the set, a player may also receive "Wildcards" of any rarity in a booster pack or as a reward. The player may swap these Wildcards for any card of the same rarity. Magic: The Gathering allows decks with up to four copies of the same card, so once a player earns a fifth copy of a common or uncommon card through booster packs, this instead is used to add to a Vault meter, based on its rarity. When the Vault meter is filled, the player can open it to gain Wildcards. Fifth copies of rares or mythic rares are instead turned directly into gems. The game does not include a feature to trade cards with other players as the developers state this would affect their ability to offer in-game rewards at the level they want while effectively calibrating the economy to make it easy and efficient to get cards through game-play.
As with the physical edition, new expansions are introduced into MTG Arena as other sets are retired. When the game was first released, the bulk of the game's modes required players to build "standard" decks that use cards from the current active expansions. However, support for "historic" decks that use any card available in the game has increased since its initial release, and is now (2020) an active part of the game with multiple releases of Historic and Modern sets and anthologies throughout a year. As of May 2020, Historic modes contribute to progression of daily wins and quests and WotC has committed to support the "historic" format going forward permanently. Ranked play with these Historic decks will be tracked separately from those in the Standard play, and players are now able to purchase packs of or craft both standard and historic cards.
With the addition of the Core 2021 set in July 2020, Arena was also updated to include support for the new "Jumpstart" booster mode, themed 20-card packs designed to allow a player to quickly get into the game.
Because of its digital format, Arena has also run limited events and game modes, bringing back previously-banned cards from physical play, but with rebalanced abilities or costs to address the prior reasoning for their ban. A new Jumpstart collection, Historic Horizons, to be released in August 2021, will include 31 cards that have no physical equivalent with rules and abilities that only function in the digital space, including cards with complex rules that cannot fit within the printed card frame. Vice president of design Aaron Forsythe and game director Jay Parker said they were using this release to test the waters with a card set targeting the players of Magic that played exclusively in the digital space, keeping to relatively tame mechanics to see how players reacted to this.
Development
Arena is designed to be a more modern method of playing Magic: The Gathering with other players while using a computer compared to Magic: The Gathering Online. A key goal of its development was to allow Arena to remain current with physical releases of new expansions to the physical game, with the goal of having the digital version of the expansion available the same day in retail. For example, the Dominaria expansion was released simultaneously as a retail product and within Arena on April 27, 2018, and "Core 19" was available in Arena on the same day as the set's paper release date of July 13, 2018. Since 2020, new sets have released in MTG:Arena and MTG:Online one day before the set's prerelease date, typically the Thursday before a set releases for paper tabletop magic. Arena follows Magic the Gathering's Standard format, where cards from the last few major expansions are used to construct decks for Standard constructed play and are then rotated out of Standard on a set schedule. After cards are rotated out of Standard, players can construct decks with rotated cards for play in various "Historic" modes.
The core part of the development of Arena was its game rules engine (GRE). The goal of this engine was to make a system that could handle current and future rulesets for Magic to support their plan to remain concurrent with the physical releases. The GRE provided means to implement per-card level rules and effects, allowing it to be expandable. The GRE also helped speed up play in the game. Compared to other digital card games like Hearthstone where an opponent cannot interact during a player's turn, Magic: The Gathering allows opponents to react throughout a player's turn. In previous iterations of Magic games that allowed this, including both Online and Duels of the Planeswalkers, these systems were found to slow down the game while waiting for an opponent to react or opt not to react. Instead, in Arena, the developers could use the per-card support to determine when reactions to a played card needed to be allowed, using observations from Magic tournament play. This helped to speed up the game for both players while still allowing for complete card reactions to be played out.
Arena was not anticipated to replace Magic: The Gathering Online; which will continue to support the whole of Magic card history, while Arena only includes cards in the current Standard sets from its initial release and any expansions going forward. Arena was first tested in a closed beta. An initial stress-test beta to selected users started on November 3, 2017, with those selected limited to non-disclosure agreements for testing purposes, while others could apply to gain access to later stages of the closed beta. The first large-scale closed beta started in December 2017. Its open beta started on September 27, 2018, with its full launch in 2019. Arena includes a battle pass feature, known in-game as the "Mastery Pass". While Arena will continue to be available directly from Wizards of the Coast, it was also released on the Epic Games Store in early 2020, and a macOS client was introduced in June 2020.
In July 2019, Joe Deaux, for Bloomberg, reported that "nearly 3 million active users will be playing Arena by the end of this year, KeyBanc estimates, and that could swell to nearly 11 million by 2021 according to its bull case scenario—especially if it expands from PCs to mobile. Those estimates are of active users, and registered users could be higher by the millions. According to Hasbro, as of July, 2019 a billion games had already been played online". Of Hasbro's franchise brands, only Magic and Monopoly logged revenue gains in 2019. Brett Andress, an analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets, predicted Magic: The Gathering Arena could add as much as 98 cents a share in incremental earnings to results by 2021 (which was at least a 20% boost).
Arena had its full release for Windows users on September 26, 2019, aligned with the release of the tabletop card game expansion, Throne of Eldraine. The macOS client released on June 25, 2020. An early access version for certain Android devices was released on January 28, 2021, while full versions for all Android and iOS devices were released on March 24, 2021. These versions support cross-save progression with the desktop clients.
Esports
In December 2018, Wizards of the Coast announced at The Game Awards 2018 that an esports pool would be created for the game for 2019. The $10 million prize pool will be equally divided between the traditional tabletop game and the new digital version Arena.
In 2019, Wizards of the Coast unveiled a new esports program which started with a special Mythic Invitational event and a $1 million prize pool at PAX East, in Boston, on the weekend of March 28–31. The event was held in three double-elimination brackets using a new MTG format described as "Duo Standard" requiring two complete decks with no sideboarding. The event was won by Andrea "Mengu09" Mengucci claiming the top prize of $250,000. On February 16, 2020 Paulo Vitor Damo Da Rosa won the 2019 Magic World Championship. The format for the top 8 of this tournament was standard and the matches were played on Arena.
On June 18, 2021, WotC had announced that the prize pool for the Magic World Championship XXVII (October 8–10) will have a new total of $250,000 which is 750k lower than the previous year of $1 million. The Magic World Championship XXVII was streamed live using Twitch, allowing viewers to see both players' hands simultaneously on the Arena client. Japanese player Yuta Takahashi won the championship, and in addition to winning the prize pool, was also depicted on a card's art in a later set, with flavor text reading "Yuta Takahashi, World Champion XXVII". | WIKI |

Talk:Lost Girl season 5
Lost Girl Twitter and Facebook page are NOT Syfy accounts
Some editors are not aware that @lostgirlseries Twitter (established August 2010) and Lost Girl TV Show Facebook (started September 2010) were created by Prodigy Pictures and/or Showcase, and announcements made through these two mediums are announcements made by either Prodigy Pictures or Showcase. They are not announcements made directly by Syfy. Both "@lostgirlseries" and "Lost Girl TV Show" page are actively involved in the promotion of Lost Girl on Syfy – but they are not announcements made by Syfy. This distinction is necessary because some uninformed editors confuse facts about Lost Girl/Canada as facts about Lost Girl/United States, and have changed existing, correct information in articles because of it. Most recent example: after the broadcast of the mid-season finale (End of Faes) on June 4, 2015, Syfy announced in a preview of the second half of the season that Lost Girl returns in 2016. On June 23, Lost Girl Series through its @lostgirlseries account confirmed that Lost Girl returns on September 6 for Canadians, and in 2016 for the U.S. – but this does not change the fact that Syfy made its announcement on June 4 in a preview.

Lost Girl (season 5b) or Lost Girl (season 6)
I think we should consider splitting after the first 8 episodes. Regarding "44 Minutes to Save the World" I realize that Showcase's website does continue season 5's numbering and calls it episode 9: http://www.showcase.ca/lostgirl/lostgirlepisodes.aspx?s=Season+5B&e=Episode+9:+44+Minutes+to+Save+the+World
However it does clearly have a "5B" heading. Plus distributors of the show for Showcase are calling 5B Season 6. You can see this at https://web.archive.org/web/20160109210109/http://www.rogersondemand.com/OnDemand/Show/lost_girl?lang=en
I view it via Bell and see the same thing via Showcase on Demand, it shows season 6 episodes 1-8 on the list. I've only watched the first 3 seasons (waiting for showcase to re-air from "In Memoriam" the season 4 debut) and it's confusing trying to remember if I have 2 or 3 seasons left to watch. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
* The most accurate content in a television series article is information provided by the actual creators/producers of the series. Prodigy Pictures and Showcase referred to the 16 episodes of Season 5 as first-half (Part 1) and second-half (Part 2).
* To deliver the most powerful season yet, we super-sized to sixteen episodes that will air in two parts."

* If you can find a Showcase or Shaw Media citation where it refers to Season 5 Part 1 as "5A" and Part 2 as "5B", then it's a legitimate source that would support adding an "A" and "B" heading (you need both -- you can't have a "B" without an "A").
* Regardless of what third-party distributors (Rogers, etc., DVD/Blu-ray marketing) call the second half of the season, it is not "Season 6". Pyxis Solitary (talk) 01:26, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
* I agree that distributor takes priority, but it's still at least worth a note about season 6, a lot of people are going to see that information and get confused, a note will clear it up. Showcase.ca cable distributors (Bell and Rogers) both do this, and they're the primary distributors in the country of origin, definitely a good thing to mention for its broadcast. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:40, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
* "I agree that distributor takes priority...."
* Who are you responding to? It can't be to what I wrote because I specifically stated that distributors of Lost Girl are third parties. Distributors did not have any involvement in the production of the series, nor that it was going to have a last season expanded to 16 episodes, and that Showcase was going to broadcast it as two parts. The information about Season 5 states:
* "original 13-episode order increased to 16 final episodes and the season divided into Part 1 and Part 2."
* There is no Season 6. No matter what Bell, Rogers, any other cable service, or the North American DVD/Blu-ray distributor called it: there is no Season 6. (BTW, the DVD title in Region 2 (UK) is "Lost Girl: The Complete Final Season"; and for Region 4 (Australia) it's "Lost Girl: The Complete Fifth Season".) I don't know how familiar you are with Wikipedia editing policies, but facts and statements are supported with reliable, published sources. Read: No original research. Season 5's Part 2 cannot be amended as "Season 6" just because some people might have difficulties with reading comprehension. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 09:25, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
68 and 69
Showcase has been reairing this daily at 6am and I just got a spoilerload because it skilled right from the football ep to 44 minutes. Has this happened before? Are they unable to televise those two episodes for some legal reason or is it some kinda glitch? Ranze (talk) 07:16, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
* Lost Girl had a total of 77 episodes. The overall episode numbers that correspond to Season 5 are #62 through #77.
* #68 (episode 5.07) is "Here Comes the Night". #69 (episode 5.08) is "End of Faes". #70 (episode 5.09) is "44 Minutes to Save the World".
* See: List of Lost Girl episodes
* If there's a glitch in the scheduling of the reruns you should ask, or report it to, Showcase customer service. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 22:00, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Broken Wings (ballet)
Broken Wings is a one-act ballet about Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, dramaturged by Nancy Meckler and designed by Dieuweke van Reij. The music was composed by Peter Salem, and featured Mexican folk song "La Llorona" sung by Chavela Vargas. The ballet premiered on 13 April 2016 at the Sadler's Wells Theatre, danced by the English National Ballet, with Tamara Rojo as Kahlo and Irek Mukhamedov as Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera. Lopez Ochoa then created a three-act version titled Frida for the Dutch National Ballet, premiered in 2020.
Production
Annabelle Lopez Ochoa was commissioned by English National Ballet to create a ballet as a part of She Said, an all-female choreographer triple bill, which was planned by artistic director Tamara Rojo, as she had never danced in piece by a woman. Lopez Ochoa said she was already interested in creating a ballet about Frida Kahlo prior to the invitation, and decided to use this opportunity to do so, but noted she intended the ballet to "tell the basic facts of Kahlo's life before letting her choreography loose into a more abstract, surreal treatment". She also brought in dramaturg Nancy Meckler, who had worked with Lopez Ochoa on another project. Rojo, who is also a lead principal dancer, was asked to dance Kahlo, as she is a "petite, Hispanic dancer". Irek Mukhamedov, then 56, was cast as Diego Rivera at Rojo's suggestion, as he was "old enough" but "fit enough". Kahlo's main costume in the ballet is inspired by her 1944 self-portrait, The Broken Column, and the dancer portraying Rivera wears a fat suit.
Revivals
In 2019, Broken Wings was revived for another all-female choreographer mixed bill, She Persisted, with Katja Khaniukova taking over as Kahlo, and Mukhamedov reprising his role. Later that year, an excerpt of the ballet was performed at a gala in Guadalajara, Mexico, danced by Rojo and Yuri Possokhov. "La Llorona" was sung live by Geo Meneses. In 2020, in response to the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the performing arts, the English National Ballet streamed the performance online. It was filmed during the show's original run, danced by Rojo and Mukhamedov.
Frida
Dutch National Ballet's artistic director Ted Brandsen, who watched the original run of Broken Wings, said that he believed that Broken Wings "needed more space to breathe" but nevertheless was "impressed". Following the success of another piece by Lopez Ochoa in Amsterdam, Brandsen invited her to create a full-length version. The ballet premiered on 6 February 2020, with principal dancers Maia Makhateli and James Stout as Kahlo and Rivera respectively.
This ballet kept 25 minutes from Broken Wings, revised 13 minutes, and the rest of the piece was filled by new choreography. This version also used original music by Peter Salem, and two other songs, "Que te vaya bonito" and "Noches de Ahuatepec" were also used in addition to "La Llorona". Dramaturg Nancy Meckler and designer Dieuweke van Reij, both of whom had worked on Broken Wings, were also brought back for Frida. | WIKI |

Sursock family is originally from Constantinople, not Lebanon ! This is what the family itself claims on its official website:

besides, this is what other reliable sources claim https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/51680069/10.2307_41913265-libre.pdf?1486482847=&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Private_Archive_of_the_Sursuqs_a_Bei.pdf&Expires=1657491440&Signature=HK6PmkkurZF4FFlwjWJJBLYQV5vfdPbjTjiGfIUyDHiuV9zaLfmJN2-D2Rz9VczBnrpoHk7Q2ZZCYt0fXg2WFgKt6PI3hMWxhIhlp7EKObtMet-JhXK7SNCwOSDoX-P7QvouUFrplvO7gGsCwy0xykVX3hHB3dtQIJrw4oSz74lx-4wp3qbJunioR2pvgq0d0zhetRQWfJY--TCpmImWXt~KZUALjO6konk3gJ6ULIHpLxvyu9sL73VHBSrB8sBAAxSRcUObIIzXTh5BGHdHF4UgtIwRnyV5xQKowqpejRjF1216mTwLRfehmwwp27M-Mbkfg~a-BPXqIt3PB3SWoA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA

* I can't access the second link. What the family itself claims can't be used in that way because it wouldn't comply with our WP:RS requirement. This source says they originated in Mersin. My guess is it's shrouded in myth now (including family myth). DeCausa (talk) 09:39, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
DeCausa The source I cited describes their story, check page number 3, and I will quote a part of it for you:
"According to the oldest documents possessed by historians, the active presence of the Sursuqs is first indicated as being in Mersin, a port in southern Anatolia, other reports in the Lebanese press over the last twenty years and based on a note on the margins of a medieval chronicle, identify their origins in 13th century Constantinople, according to the version now confirmed by the family, the Sursuqs fled from the capital of the Byzantine empire after its conquest by the Ottoman troops of Mehmet II in 1453. Their presence in Mersin is nevertheless documented from the second half of the 16th century, the Surqus subsequently moved from the Anatolian coast to the district of Gubayl (Byblos)"
I think we should mention what the family claims, for example, we can type: according to some sources including the official website of the Sursuq family: the family fled from Constantinople, while other sources claim the family traces its origins to Mersin on the Anatolian Coast Whatsupkarren (talk) 10:30, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

A Memory of Light
A Memory of Light is the 14th and final book of the fantasy series The Wheel of Time, written by American authors Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, and published by Tor Books. Originally expected to have been published around March 2012, the book was delayed several times, and the hardcover edition was eventually released on January 8, 2013. The book reached No. 1 on several bestsellers lists.
Original plans for the book title
The title A Memory of Light was previously intended to apply to a book containing the material in what are now books 12, 13 and 14. The original book was incomplete at the time of Jordan's death on September 16, 2007, from cardiac amyloidosis; his widow Harriet McDougal and publisher Tom Doherty chose to publish the book posthumously. Tor Books announced that Brandon Sanderson had been chosen to finish writing the book.
The unfinished book was split into three volumes because it was believed a single volume would be too large to print. Initially it was planned that all three would be titled A Memory of Light, with distinct subtitles; eventually this plan was dropped, and the three volumes were titled The Gathering Storm (published October 27, 2009), Towers of Midnight (published November 2, 2010), and A Memory of Light (published January 8, 2013).
Plot summary
In the prologue, the armies of the Westlands assemble in preparation for Tarmon Gai'don, as do the forces of the Shadow. The Forsaken Demandred stages a raid on the city of Caemlyn, sending Trollocs to capture the cannons, developed jointly by Matrim Cauthon, Queen Elayne Trakand, and the Illuminator Aludra. Talmanes Delovinde and the Band of the Red Hand launch their own counter-attack and successfully exfiltrate the cannons out of the city, but Caemlyn is lost. The Light is bolstered by people coming from all over the world to fight, sensing the end of all things, while the Shadow welcomes a new Forsaken: Mazrim Taim, now called "M'Hael".
The Field of Merrilor
Rand al'Thor prepares a meeting of all the nations on the Field of Merrilor, to persuade them to fight in Tarmon Gai'don. Mat returns to Ebou Dar to locate Tuon, only to find the city crawling with assassins sent by one of her generals. At the Black Tower, Logain Ablar is missing and Mazrim Taim is forcibly "Turning" people to the Shadow. The Asha'man still loyal to Logain, led by Androl Genhald and aided by Aes Sedai ambassador Pevara Tazanovni rescue Logain, defeating Taim and driving his Dreadlords from the Tower. Rand's "price" of allegiance—a treaty called "The Dragon's Peace", in which borders are fixed and war is outlawed—and his plan to shatter the remaining seals of the Dark One's prison, lead to widespread argument; the latter resolved only when Moiraine Damodred quotes from the Prophecies of the Dragon, and convinces Egwene to break the seals herself. The Aiel, persuaded by Aviendha's post-apocalyptic visions during Towers of Midnight, demand to be subject to the treaty, as arbiters of any dispute. When Elayne Trakand remarks that peace cannot be maintained if the Seanchan are exempt, Rand agrees to persuade their cooperation, and appoints Elayne commander-in-chief of the armies formerly under himself.
The War
Elayne dispatches her forces to four different campaigns, whereof Caemlyn is to be retaken by Andoran and Cairhienin troops; Egwene commands an army of Aes Sedai to reinforce Kandor, while Lan Mandragoran and the resurrected nation of Malkier hold Tarwin's Gap. Rand himself will lead the Aiel to face the Dark One. The four remaining "Great Captains" are attached to each campaign: Gareth Bryne in Kandor, Agelmar Jagad at Tarwin's Gap, Rodel Ituralde to Shayol Ghul, and Davram Bashere to serve Elayne directly. The campaigns turn to disaster when Graendal, now renamed Hessalam, Compels the commanders to err. Rand gains the support of the Seanchan by persuading Tuon in Ebou Dar that his authority, as the reincarnation of Lews Therin, supersedes hers. The Seanchan march to battle with Mat as one of their generals. Taking only Moiraine, Nynaeve al'Meara, and the sa'angreal Callandor, Rand confronts the Dark One's champion, Moridin; interrupted only when Rand makes contact with the Dark One. Meanwhile, Perrin Aybara enters Tel'aran'rhiod to protect Rand from Slayer. In this he is assisted by Lanfear; but wounded by Slayer and forced to retreat. Rand and Egwene learn that enemy agents have seized some of the Dark One's seals. Elayne's forces burn Caemlyn to force the Trollocs to pursue; but they are pursued also by a new force from the north, and saved by Logain and his loyal Asha'man. At Tarwin's Gap, the defenders are forced into a rout; while in Kandor, Egwene and the Aes Sedai are unexpectedly outflanked by the nation of Shara, under Demandred. Realizing that Mat's foxhead medallion makes him the only competent general immune to hostile 'Compulsion', Egwene gives him command of their forces, and Mat rallies the survivors at the Field of Merrilor.
The Last Battle
To lure Demandred into risking his resources, Mat stages a public quarrel with Tuon, and the Seanchan depart the field. Perrin continues pursuit of Slayer. At Shayol Ghul, Graendal opposes the Aiel. When Demandred challenges the absent Rand, Gawyn Trakand attacks him directly and is mortally wounded. Later, his elder half-brother Galad Damodred is severely wounded in the same effort; but wounds Demandred before retreat. Mat's command post is attacked directly by Sharan forces, and Siuan Sanche is killed in the defense. Gareth Bryne loses reason and dies soon after. Elayne is waylaid by several Darkfriend Guardsmen including Doilin Mellar, who arrange a duplicate of Elayne to be seen dead. Faile's contingent arrive at Merrilor, but are almost immediately betrayed. Faile seizes the Horn of Valere (capable of recruiting deceased heroes), which she gives to Olver.
Androl and Pevara track down M'Hael and steal the remaining seals on the Dark One's prison. Egwene then asks Leilwin Shipless to be her warder and attacks M'Hael. M'Hael uses balefire to destroy a number of Aes Sedai. In the midst of her fight with M'Hael, Egwene creates a new weave, the "Flame of Tar Valon", capable of counteracting balefire, and sacrifices her own life to destroy M'Hael and his followers. Galad passes Mat's foxhead medallion to Lan, and Lan attacks Demandred, killing him in single combat by letting Demandred stab him, then decapitating the Forsaken while his blade is thus engaged. Olver sounds the Horn of Valere, summoning legendary heroes to rescue Elayne. Mat uses the Heroes and reinforcements from the Seanchan to sweep the field.
Shayol Ghul
Outside the Pattern, Shai'tan and Rand duel by constructing their visions of what reality could be after Tarmon Gai'don, and ultimately achieve stalemate on the premise that the Pattern is incomplete in case of either's defeat. Perrin kills Slayer at the Pit of Doom, and later kills Lanfear before she can kill Moiraine (later revealed by Brandon Sanderson to be a faked death by Lanfear) Mat kills Padan Fain with his own dagger. Olver and the resurrected heroes win the battle, while Aviendha mentally enslaves Graendal. Rand resumes his duel with Moridin, during which Rand, Moiraine, and Nynaeve take control of Moridin and use his power to create a huge weave of saidar, saidin, and True Power combined. Seeing this, Logain breaks open the Dark One's prison, and Rand uses the huge weave of three powers, first to capture the Dark One, and later to re-create his prison without flaw.
Epilogue
Bereft of the Dark One's influence, the Blight dissolves. Mat reunites with Tuon, who reveals that she is pregnant by him; whereas Perrin locates Faile buried under Trolloc corpses, but alive, and inherits the throne of Saldaea. King Alsalam of Arad Doman is revealed to be dead, and Ituralde succeeds him. Cadsuane Melaidhrin is elected the new Amyrlin Seat, while Moghedien is captured by a sul'dam. Thom and Moiraine, Lan and Nynaeve, wait attendance on Rand, who is slowly dying of his wounds. A funeral pyre is held; but it is revealed that Rand had exchanged psyches with Moridin, and is therefore alive in Moridin's body while Moridin, in Rand's body, is burned in the funeral pyre. No longer able to channel the One Power, Rand now has the ability to manipulate the Pattern directly, though it is unclear to what extent. He demonstrates this ability by lighting his pipe without the use of the One Power.
Publication delays
A Memory of Light was originally expected to be published around March 2012. On December 21, 2011, Sanderson announced on Twitter that "A Memory of Light—the final book in The Wheel of Time—has been finished". That same day, Sanderson also announced on Twitter that revisions would take "a good six months" and that the book would probably be released in autumn 2012. Tor released the hardcover book on January 8, 2013, although the e-book was not released until April 8, 2013.
Criticism over e-book release
There was public backlash against the publisher, Tor, for delaying the electronic release. Backlash included the review bombing of the title on Amazon and other book seller websites. Brandon Sanderson stated that the decision was that of Robert Jordan's wife, Harriet, who was concerned that the book would not reach the top of the bestseller lists, as all the previous Wheel of Time books have done, if purchases were divided between e-book and hardcover. She felt that this would harm her husband's legacy; Sanderson claimed that she had originally pushed for a one-year delay. Various end users threatened to download a pirated e-book unless the official e-book was available at launch.
Harriet McDougal clarified her reasoning for the late e-book release of A Memory of Light in a March 18, 2013, interview with Tor publisher Tom Doherty. McDougal, the widow of Robert Jordan, explained that "the brick‑and‑mortar bookstores were very good to Robert Jordan throughout his career. They are having a hard time now. This was a chance for Robert Jordan to give back to people who had been very good to him for 20 years. That was really the main reason for the windowing." | WIKI |
Dry Run (West Branch Susquehanna River tributary)
Dry Run is a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 4.1 mi long and flows through Delaware Township. The watershed of the stream has an area of 3.98 sqmi. The stream is impaired by sedimentation/siltation from agriculture and is a relatively small valley stream. Several bridges have been constructed across it. The stream is designated as a Warmwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.
Course
Dry Run begins on a low hill in Delaware Township. It flows north-northeast for a few tenths of a mile before reaching the bottom of the hill and gradually turning west-northwest. After more than a mile, the stream receives an unnamed tributary from the right and enters the census-designated place of Dewart. In Dewart, it flows west-northwest for a few tenths of a mile before turning west-southwest for several tenths of a mile and crossing a railroad. The stream then turns south for several tenths of a mile, exiting Dewart and crossing Pennsylvania Route 44/Pennsylvania Route 405 before turning west. A short distance further downstream, it reaches its confluence with the West Branch Susquehanna River.
Dry Run joins the West Branch Susquehanna River 16.87 mi upstream of its mouth.
Hydrology
Dry Run is designated as an impaired waterbody. The cause of impairment is sedimentation/siltation. The likely source of impairment is agriculture.
At the point where Dry Run crosses a Conrail railroad, the stream's peak annual discharge has a 10 percent chance of reaching 1080 cuft/s. It has a 2 percent chance of reaching 2000 cuft/s and a 1 percent chance of reaching 2469 cuft/s. The peak annual discharge has a 0.2 percent chance of reaching 3310 cuft/s.
At the point where Dry Run crosses Township Route 627, the stream's peak annual discharge has a 10 percent chance of reaching 960 cuft/s. It has a 2 percent chance of reaching 1775 cuft/s and a 1 percent chance of reaching 2204 cuft/s. The peak annual discharge has a 0.2 percent chance of reaching 2950 cuft/s.
Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Dry Run is 449 ft above sea level. The elevation near the stream's source is 611 ft above sea level.
Dry Run is a relatively small valley stream.
Watershed
The watershed of Dry Run has an area of 3.98 sqmi. The mouth of the stream is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Allenwood. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Milton. The mouth of the stream is located within 1 mi of Watsontown.
A Conrail railroad crosses Dry Run at one point. The area of the stream's watershed at this point is 3.08 sqmi.
According to the Warrior Run Pathways Partnership, Dry Run could benefit from improved stream and watershed management practices, including the installation of riparian buffers, installing fencing, management of waste and nutrients, and reforestation. The designated use for the stream is aquatic life.
History
Dry Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1173546.
A concrete tee beam bridge carrying State Route 1005 over Dry Run was built 2 mi north of Watsontown in 1948 and is 26.9 ft long. A concrete channel beam bridge carrying State Route 1003 over the stream was built in 1950 and repaired in 2009. This bridge is 32.2 ft and is located 1 mi north of Watsontown. A prestressed box beam or girders bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 44 across the stream was built 0.5 mi north of Watsontown in 1962 and is 37.1 ft long.
A bridge rehabilitation of the bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 44 over Dry Run has been proposed for a cost of $945,000. In 2015, the Northumberland County Conservation District received a $200,000 Growing Greener grant to install animal fencing and implement streambank stabilization on Dry Run.
Biology
The drainage basin of Dry Run is designated as a Warmwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.
As of 2015, there is a cattle operation at the headwaters of Dry Run. | WIKI |

Learn how to diagnose and repair a damaged or clogged catalytic converter for your vehicle. Follow these steps and get your car back on the road smoothly!
Are you experiencing issues with your vehicle’s catalytic converter? If so, you might be wondering what steps you need to take to diagnose and repair the problem. In this article, we will explore the process of identifying and fixing a damaged or clogged catalytic converter. From understanding the potential symptoms to conducting a thorough inspection, we will guide you through the necessary steps to get your vehicle back on the road smoothly. So, let’s dive in and find out how to tackle this common automotive dilemma!
Diagnosing a Damaged or Clogged Catalytic Converter
A damaged or clogged catalytic converter can lead to several issues in your vehicle’s exhaust system. These problems can affect the performance and efficiency of your car and may even cause it to fail an emissions test. To effectively diagnose and repair a damaged or clogged catalytic converter, it is important to follow a systematic approach. This article will guide you through the steps involved in diagnosing and repairing this critical component of your vehicle’s exhaust system.
Inspecting for Physical Damage
The first step in diagnosing a damaged or clogged catalytic converter is to inspect it for any physical damage. This can involve checking for dents, punctures, or any sign of external harm. You can visually assess the converter for any signs of dents or punctures that may have occurred due to road debris or accidents. Additionally, examining the converter for external rust or corrosion can give you an indication of its overall condition. Lastly, inspecting for loose or damaged heat shields is vital, as they play a crucial role in protecting the converter.
Listening for Unusual Noises
Unusual noises can be an indication of a damaged or clogged catalytic converter. If you hear rattling or rumbling sounds coming from the exhaust system, it could suggest internal damage to the converter. These sounds occur due to the loose or broken internal components of the converter. Hissing or whistling noises, on the other hand, may indicate leaks in the system, which can affect the converter’s performance.
Performing a Visual Inspection
In addition to physical damage and unusual noises, a visual inspection can provide valuable insights into the condition of the catalytic converter. Looking for exhaust smoke can help identify excessive emissions, which may be a result of a malfunctioning converter. Checking for soot or deposits on the converter can also indicate a clogged or inefficient converter. Lastly, examining the connections and mounts of the converter can help identify any loose or damaged components that need attention.
Using a Diagnostic Scanner
A diagnostic scanner is a crucial tool in diagnosing a damaged or clogged catalytic converter. It allows you to connect to the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic (OBD) port and retrieve trouble codes. These codes can provide information about specific issues in the exhaust system, including the catalytic converter. Analyzing live data and sensor readings can further help pinpoint the problem and determine the converter’s performance.
Conducting an Exhaust Pressure Test
An exhaust pressure test is another effective method of diagnosing a damaged or clogged catalytic converter. This test involves attaching a pressure gauge to the oxygen sensor port and recording pressure measurements at idle and acceleration. By comparing these measurements with the manufacturer’s specifications, you can determine whether the converter is functioning properly or if it is clogged and restricting exhaust flow.
Repairing a Damaged or Clogged Catalytic Converter
Once you have identified a damaged or clogged catalytic converter, it is important to take appropriate steps for repair. Depending on the severity of the issue, you may need to replace the converter, clean it, or address a partially clogged converter.
Replacing the Catalytic Converter
If the catalytic converter is severely damaged or completely clogged, it may need to be replaced. To ensure a successful replacement, it is crucial to identify the correct replacement part specific to your vehicle’s make and model. Once you have the right converter, you will need to lift and secure the vehicle safely, remove the old converter, and install the new one. It is also important to reattach all the exhaust system components correctly to avoid any leaks or damage.
Cleaning the Catalytic Converter
In some cases, the catalytic converter may not be severely damaged or completely clogged, but rather partially obstructed. In such situations, cleaning the converter can restore its efficiency. You can use a catalytic converter cleaner, available in the market, to dissolve and remove deposits and carbon build-up. Spraying the cleaner into the converter and allowing it to soak will help break down the deposits. Finally, rinsing the converter with a high-pressure water hose will ensure a thorough cleaning.
Dealing with a Partially Clogged Converter
If you suspect that your catalytic converter is partially clogged, there are a few additional steps you can take. Adding a fuel additive designed to remove carbon build-up can aid in clearing the converter. Additionally, driving at high speeds for an extended period can trigger a process called regeneration, where the high exhaust temperature helps burn off the accumulated deposits. If these methods prove ineffective, considering mechanical cleaning methods or seeking professional assistance may be necessary. Regular maintenance and inspection will further prevent the converter from becoming partially clogged in the future.
In conclusion, diagnosing and repairing a damaged or clogged catalytic converter requires a systematic approach. By inspecting for physical damage, listening for unusual noises, performing visual inspections, using a diagnostic scanner, and conducting an exhaust pressure test, you can accurately identify the issue. Based on the severity of the problem, you can either replace the converter, clean it, or address a partially clogged converter. Remember, regular maintenance and inspection are essential to prevent further damage and ensure the efficient functioning of your vehicle’s catalytic converter.

Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of subconjunctival air leakage from the anterior chamber (AC) into a trabeculectomy bleb after Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Methods: An 89 year-old woman with a previous history of primary open angle glaucoma in her left eye and previous trabeculectomy with mitomycin C had DSAEK on the patient’s left eye in order to treat her endothelial disease. During the DSAEK procedure, air was injected into the AC to aid in graft adherence.
Results: The day after the surgery, subconjunctival air leakage from the AC into a trabeculectomy bleb was observed.
Conclusion: Although our patient did not have any complications from this leak, there exists the potential for hypotony, bleb-related infections, and dislocations of the DSAEK graft. Given the potential consequences, these patients should be monitored closely. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Tehzeeb (1971 film)
Tehzeeb is a 1971 Pakistani film directed by Hassan Tariq. It stars Rani, Shahid, Sabiha Khanum, Rangeela, Aslam Pervaiz and Lehri.
The makers of this film were asked to change a reference to Egypt (Misr in Urdu language) because it might prove detrimental to diplomatic relations with that country. While the line Laga hai Misr ka bazaar dekho changed to Laga hai husn ka bazaar dekho in the movie soundtrack, audio-recordings of the film song had already sold in good numbers.
Plot
The plot revolvers around a family whose matriarch Dadi Amma has a great pride in following eastern traditions and values. When her grandson returns from abroad after getting higher education, he starts hating these traditions, and Chandni, his yet to be wife. He first refuses to marry her but later obliges to do due to the fear of being deprived off. After marriage, he forces her to adapt the western lifestyle and values. One day, she becomes the victim of assault by a club owner while adapting the western culture.
Cast
* Rani
* Shahid Hameed
* Rangeela
* Aslam Pervaiz
* Lehri
* Tamanna
* Sabiha Khanum
Music
A popular song of this film was:
* "Laga Hai Husn Ka Bazaar Dekho" Sung by Mehdi Hassan and solo by Noor Jehan, lyrics by Saifuddin Saif and music by Nisar Bazmi.
Reception
Tehzeeb was a super-hit film of 1971.
The Statesman said the presentation of the film as hackneyed and formula-oriented. | WIKI |
How to Configure Network for OK3588-C Development Board?
Network configuration is a very important step in Embedded System. If you are going to use the Forlinx RK3588 ARM Development Board, first you need to configure the NIC correctly to enable a normal network connection. So, this article will introduce how to modify the configuration of eth0 to achieve network connection and internet access.
The OK3588-C development board is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet cards.
The eth0 uses static configuration and it’s configuration information is:
forlinx@ok3588:/etc$ cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.232
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
When I connect the Ethernet cable to eth1, the device can obtain an IP address via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). As the device may use eth0 for network connection by default, it is necessary to change the network configuration of eth0 to be the same as the internal network segment to achieve a successful network connection.
forlinx@ok3588:/etc$ sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
Modify to the following configuration:
Modify configuration
Plug the network cable into eth0 to achieve internet access.
rk3588 sbc
In the circuit illustrated in the “Forlinx RK3588 Development Manual”, the eth1 port has been configured with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP address. However, the default route setting is eth0 port, so the device can not access the network successfully. To achieve a successful network connection, users need to manually modify the network configuration and connect the eth0 port to it. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Post New Reply
1. Hi,
first, I have searched a lot on the net and seen that this has happened to a lot of other people. In my case, it is System Reserved (G:), and is using 71.9mb of 99.9mb space.
Other users are discussing removing it, merging it with (C:) and so on. But my question is - can I just leave it as it is, with no ill effects? I'm not bothered by it, as long as nothing has\will go wrong.
thanks for any answers,
gubar

Unless you want to wreck your Windows installation I highly advise you leave it as it is, as it is important to the running of the OS. By default it's a hidden partition and isn't assigned a drive letter. For some reason it has been which is why you can now see it.
To remove the drive letter from System Reserved:
1. Click start and type disk management in the search box, then press return
2. Highlight the System Reserved partition by selecting it.
3. Right click over the drive and select change drive letter and paths
4. Click on remove button
5. If warning appears, press OK/continue
6. Close disk management and reboot the computer to finish.

Bamboo Extract
| [bam-ˈbü, ik-ˈstrakt] |
Categories: Plant Extracts, Antioxidants
Bamboo Skin Benefits:
Antioxidant
Astringent
Pigmentation
Soothing
Bamboo extract is obtained from the major species of the bamboo trees in Japan called Phyllostachys pubescens. Bamboo extract is known to contain various compounds, including flavones, glycosides, phenolic acids, and amino acids, which together provide antioxidant, skin-soothing, and astringent properties. 12
The antioxidant activity of bamboo extract is due to the presence of flavones. Since skin is a major target of oxidative stress, antioxidant protection provided by bamboo extract for skin care is well appreciated for the usage in cosmetic formulations. It has also been suggested that bamboo extract can help diminish the appearance of uneven skin tone.12

I am a native speaker and the one from Phuket, found a lot of mistakes made by somebody.... There are many meaning link to Malay, which have nothing to do with Phuket, which its population about 95% are Chinese(not only a working class), not Malay, and Malay who live in Phuket came from the southern part of Thailand, not originally here before!!!
Should somebody like to change some information about Phuket, which is related to Malay. These should be considered as a very sensitive topic, please use a reference-quoted!
* I cannot see the article say anything like the population is predominately Malay, it only says that some of the old names of the island have Malay origin. Maybe you'd better be more specific what sentence is misleading in your opinion. andy 11:24, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
well, ok (1) the old name of the island is Tha-Laang, not Phuket at all, (dated back around 220 years). Phuket could be called by some other tribes but not the Siamese (Thai).
(2)descendants of the island is rather small and came from other areas, but not the Malays!!!(where can one get this information?). And there are some are indeginous but they are still living their lives like the island people. However, the first large group who came to Phuket is the Chinese tin mine workers (mainly Hokkien-Hakka Chinese- they came from the south-west of China and use the same accent like Taiwanese). And part of the other group is Thai from the mainland area (from the city nearby), who came to be the admins group (dated back circa 150 years). Later, two group has mixed, and became an originally Phuketian like today's population.
(3)and most of the words which are using in Phuket came from Thai and Chinese mixed together, not really from malay or so, except somebody who can speak them. Of course, there are some Malays (and some considered themself with BLUE malay blood) living in Phuket but this should not mixing up with the history and original root of Phuket!!!
Confusion
I thought, Phuket is the name of
* an Island (Koh Phuket) and
* a province (like in the article) and
* a city (Phuket city)?
So actually - what we need is another article: Phuket city. An article about Koh Phuket would be nice but not urgent (the province and the island share their ground); then we would need a disamb, too. -- Scriberius 19:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
* To add to the confusion - there's both a city (Thai: thesaban) as well as a district (Amphoe Mueang). And Karon - while it is part of the district Phuket - is a separate town. andy 12:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
* I have now added a Phuket (disambiguation). andy 17:17, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Junkceylon
I found this page after searching for Junkceylon and was redirected. How does Junkceylon relate to Phuket? Is it a historical name? A place? I do know it's the name of a shopping mall in Patong that is has been under construction off and on for the past couple of years or so. This is not criticism, mind you. Just a search for information and enlightenment. - Wisekwai 13:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
* In past versions of this article the history section ended with "Past names of the island include Ko Thalang and Junkceylon". However for unknown reasons the second name was removed, so now it only mentions "Ko Thalang". It'd make sense to research some history before the Burmese invasion of 1785, where that historical name would fit best. andy 12:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

New Highest Point in Phuket
Highest point in Phuket is wrong. I thought so and went out yesterday with a new altimeter, setting it at sea level in the morning and hiking up to the mountain (just west of Kathu waterfall) and found it to be 545 meters. There is no road, and except for an old rubber tree farm on one side, nothing there. Then i hiked back down to my bike and went immedietly to Mae Sip Song which is the mountain that most believe to be the high point. It is at least 20-30 meters lower than the mountain that has no name near Kathu waterfall.

Phuket Province → Phuket – The common name of the island and province of Phuket is simply "Phuket", and the content of the article is clearly about the island as a whole, not the administrative division. The present name appears to have been adopted because all of Thailand's other provinces use the format "X Province", but Phuket is a special case since it's the only Thai province that's coterminous with an island of the same name. It's also worth noting that Bangkok is "Bangkok", not "Bangkok Special Administrative Area". Jpatokal (talk) 10:06, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
* This a common problem with all the Thai provinces, there is the coterminous capital city, and while to many non-Thai the city is the one which comes first to mind when using the plain name, for a Thai it is absolutely opposite. For Phuket, there are the island, the province and the city. For Bangkok, there is no problem since there is only the city itself. andy (talk) 15:21, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
* Not quite sure what you're getting at here. Coterminous = same boundaries, so Chiang Mai city is not coterminous with Chiang Mai Province, but Phuket Island is equal to Phuket Province (delta the outlying islands discussed below). There is also a Phuket (city) for the capital of Phuket Province, but that's already correctly disambiguated. Jpatokal (talk) 04:39, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
* Oppose move. This article also contains content relating to the outlying islands of Phuket Province, not just Phuket Island. Renaming to Phuket could give readers the false impression of the article having a narrower scope. However, I suggest that Phuket be made to redirect here, with the disambiguation page moved to Phuket (disambiguation). --Paul_012 (talk) 22:59, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
* I don't think there is any realistic scope for confusion, as the current "content" about those islands is limited to a paragraph under Geography noting their existence and size, the largest is under 1% of Phuket's area, and none warrant their own page on WP. Why not simply continue to note their existence under Geography, and clarify that they are included in Phuket Province?
* Also, looking at the lead now, the first paragraph is about Phuket being a province yadda yadda, and the second is about its location, largest island in Thailand, rich history, major trading route, etc. To me, #2 is far more interesting and important than #1, and the order should be reversed along with the renaming. Jpatokal (talk) 04:39, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
* Looking at WP:PRECISION again, it doesn't seem to be a big issue here since this one article covers both aspects. What do you see as the disadvantages of re-redirecting Phuket to Phuket Province? Personally I'd like to preserve the consistency with other province articles. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:07, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
* Per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA, we should prefer names that are natural, precise and concise, which for Phuket means "Phuket". Specifically, per WP:CONCISE, we should use "the most concise title to fully identify the subject"; other provinces (eg. Chiang Mai Province) need the "Province" tacked on to disambig them from their capital cities, but Phuket does not. Also, as the article content is mostly about the island, not the province, calling it "Phuket Province" is too precise. Jpatokal (talk) 11:51, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
* Support either the proposed move if others agree or redirecting Phuket to Phuket Province to preserve province article title consistency. Either way, the primary topic is the island which is covered concurrently with the province and Phuket should direct readers to that article, not a confusing DAB page. — AjaxSmack 04:59, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
* Oppose. The current article name follows the naming convention for Thai provinces as Phuket Province. The article also covers several other islands in the province. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:52, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

2 bridges?
At present, the introduction to the article says that 2 bridges connect the island to the mainland. I checked on Google maps and can find only one bridge. Can anyone verify this? Grandma Roses (talk) 22:53, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
* Hi. You will probably never see this reply, but the answer to your question is that the two bridges are right next to each other. One is for traffic and the other for pedestrians, and they have different names because they are separate spans even though there's barely any distance between them. หมีขั้วโลก (talk) 10:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Trump vows tougher borders to fight opioid epidemic | TheHill
President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump pushes back on recent polling data, says internal numbers are 'strongest we've had so far' Illinois state lawmaker apologizes for photos depicting mock assassination of Trump Scaramucci assembling team of former Cabinet members to speak out against Trump MORE vowed on Monday to toughen the country’s borders as a way to fight the opioid crisis that’s killing more Americans per year than traffic accidents. Trump unveiled his plan to combat the epidemic in New Hampshire, a state that’s been hit hard by the epidemic and one that Trump once referred to as a “drug-infested den.” Trump spent a portion of his speech slamming sanctuary cities, promoting policies to beef up border security and blaming the lack of an extension for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program on Democrats. "Ninety percent of the heroin in America comes from our southern border, where eventually the Democrats will agree with us, and we'll build the wall to keep the damn drugs out,” Trump said. Deaths involving opioids increased nearly 28 percent from 2015 to 2016. Addiction advocates have been calling on Congress and the administration to reverse this trend by bolstering treatment, prevention and recovery services — and shying away from a law enforcement approach. In his speech, Trump quickly turned to enforcement measures, calling for some drug traffickers to face the death penalty and bringing up statistics aimed at bolstering the point that tougher border security measures are needed to stop immigrants from entering the country illegally. “In 2017, [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] arrested criminal aliens with 76,000 charges and convictions for dangerous drug crimes,” Trump said. Trump touted his immigration policies throughout the speech. He blamed Democrats for a current stalemate on DACA protections, which allow immigrants brought into the United States illegally as children to work and go to school. The White House and congressional Democrats both rejected competing DACA offers over the weekend. “They don’t want to go with DACA because they don’t care about DACA, but they’re trying to tie the wall to DACA, and DACA to the wall,” Trump said. “And they want to keep DACA for the campaign instead of getting it approved, which we could do very easily.” He added: “We’ll make it part of the campaign also, and we’ll win because we’re going to win on those issues.” Trump also repeated his frequent scorn for sanctuary cities — which refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities — calling on Congress to block funds for sanctuary cities. “Ending sanctuary cities is crucial to stopping the drug addiction crisis,” Trump said, and, in an impromptu move, brought an ICE agent up on stage to say brief remarks. The speech marked the unveiling of the White House’s plan to combat the opioid epidemic, consisting of a three-pronged approach: reducing the demand and over-prescription of opioids, cutting off the supply of illegal drugs and boosting access to treatment.The plans aims to reduce the number of opioid prescriptions by one-third over three years. It also includes measures that addiction advocates have supported in the past, including increasing access to the gold standard of addiction treatment and incentivizing states to move to a national database monitoring opioid prescriptions to help flag people requesting numerous prescriptions. In a controversial move, the plan is also seeking stiffer penalties for high-volume drug traffickers, which includes a mandate to the Department of Justice to seek the death penalty when appropriate under current law. A Justice Department official wrote in an email that, “under current law, the federal death penalty is available for several limited drug-related offenses—for example through violations of the ‘drug kingpin’ provisions in 18 USC 3591(b) and 21 USC 848(e).” “If we don’t get tough on the drug dealers, we’re wasting our time,” said Trump, who has been praising other countries’ use of the death penalty for drug traffickers for weeks. The move faces high hurdles with advocates and some lawmakers slamming the measure as the wrong approach to curbing the crisis. “We cannot arrest our way out of the opioid epidemic — we tried that and ended up with an even bigger addiction problem and the world’s largest prison population,” Sen. Dick DurbinRichard (Dick) Joseph DurbinSenate Democrats push Trump to permanently shutter migrant detention facility House panel investigating decision to resume federal executions To combat domestic terrorism, Congress must equip law enforcement to fight rise in white supremacist attacks MORE (Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said in a statement. “Everyone from doctors to law enforcement understands that addiction is a disease, not a moral failing that can be beaten simply by getting ‘tough on crime.’” View the discussion thread.

A closer look at nonmelanoma forms of skin cancer
Last Modified: 9/24/2020
basal cell carcinoma
This post was written by Robert Bednarek, MD, PPG – Oncology.
Unfortunately, skin cancer, in general, is an epidemic with incident rates that continue to increase. We tend to assume all cases are melanoma because it is the most familiar, but it’s less common compared to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). BCC and SCC are actually the two most common nonmelanoma forms of skin cancer that we encounter. In fact, more people are diagnosed with skin cancer, particularly BCC and SCC, than all the other cancers combined in the U.S.
In 2006, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer, which included both basal and squamous cell carcinomas. In 2012, there were 5.4 million cases that were treated and 4.3 million of those cases were BCC. To put that into perspective, about one in five, or 20% of Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. These numbers help illustrate the steep increase in incidents that we're seeing each year and how prevalent these types of skin cancers are.
Basal cell carcinoma
Compared to melanoma, BCC rarely spreads to other places on the body. However, it can be locally destructive, causing loss of function to the surrounding structures. For example, it can form on the eyelids, causing deformities and issues for people trying to form tears or close their eyes properly. You can also have local comorbidities with BCC, like pain and persistent bleeding at the cancer site.
Prevalence
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Remember that statistic I gave you? One in five or 20% of Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70 and 80% of that will be BCC. It’s the skin cancer we encounter and see most often. On average, we will diagnose BCC cases 3-10 times per day with most patients not realizing they even have it, which is why it's so important to see a dermatologist for a regular skin check.
Causes
The most common cause of most skin cancer is far and away the result of ultraviolet radiation exposure from the sun or artificial sources. Intermittent intense sunburn and chronic cumulative sun exposure both contribute to the formation of BCC, which is why it’s important to protect yourself with sunscreen or sun-protective clothing. These two options are truly the best preventative measures you can take to decrease your risk of cancer.
There are a few genetic syndromes where we will see basal cell carcinoma more prevalently, but this is more the exception than the rule. Generally, we look at sun exposure as the main culprit in causing basal cell skin cancer.
Signs and symptoms
BCC can present in various ways. Sometimes it can be a bump that a patient was either aware or unaware of, but more commonly it tends to present as a nonhealing sore or ulceration. Patients will often describe it as a pimple that just won’t go away.
Diagnosis
BCC is best diagnosed by a dermatologist since they have expertise in the area. First, they’ll perform an initial exam, then if they have enough suspicion that it could be BCC, they will perform a biopsy.
Generally, we do this via shave removal. We will rarely do a punch or incisional biopsy. Once we take a sample, we will send it off to the pathology lab and they will give us the confirmation that it’s BCC. Then, depending on subtype – some are more aggressive than others – your dermatologist will come up with the best treatment plan for the affected area.
Treatment
There are several different treatment modalities we can use for BCC. Your dermatologist will consider several things. They will look at your treatment plan, whether the BCC is an aggressive or non-aggressive form and where it’s located on the body, such as a high-risk location like on your face, nose or back of the hands, versus a low-risk area, such as your back.
The most common treatments that your dermatologist might perform include local destructive measures like freezing (cryosurgery), ‘scrape and burn’ (curettage followed by electrodesiccation/freezing), surgical excision or a topical chemotherapy cream followed by close supervision to ensure the treatment is working and the skin cancer is responding.
Additionally, there are some exciting options on the horizon including a modality new to Parkview called Mohs Micrographic Surgery. This modality is generally utilized for high-risk areas and more aggressive subtypes of BCC. Mohs surgery is also unique in that it has the highest cure rates for nonmelanoma skin cancer with a 99% cure rate for BCC.
squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
SCC is the second most common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer. While SCC is not dissimilar to BCC, it does have a slightly different presentation, although there can be some overlap in appearance between the two. While it’s not as common as BCC, we do see it often and diagnose, on average, 1-5 cases per day, depending on the patient population.
Prevalence
As mentioned, SCC is becoming increasingly more common and, unfortunately, we do tend to worry a little more about SCC than we do BCC because it has a higher chance of spreading to other places of the body. In fact, some studies state that up to 5% of SCC cases have the potential of metastasizing to areas such as lymph nodes and organs, making SCC more dangerous when it comes to skin cancer.
A recent study also suggests that more than twice as many people are dying from SCC compared to melanoma, which is due to the higher incidence rate of SCC. For this reason, skin cancer should never be taken lightly. It’s imperative that you touch base with your dermatologist or an expert in the field to come up with a treatment plan.
Causes
Similar to BCC, SCC is caused by ultraviolet radiation, sun exposure, intermittent intense sunburns as well as chronic cumulative sun exposure. There are also rare genetic syndromes in which SCC becomes more prevalent. SCC can also occur as a result of other underlying causes.
Immunosuppression, for example, can make you more susceptible. Those with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or transplant patients are at a higher risk because they're immunosuppressed and are more susceptible to forming SCC. Therefore, we tend to watch these patients very diligently.
Additionally, chronic inflammation and nonhealing wounds can allow SCC to pop up in those locations. You can also get SCC in previously irradiated sites even years after radiation. Certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) may also contribute to SCC.
Signs and symptoms
There can be some overlap with BCC. Sometimes SCC can present as a non-ulceration or wound, but typically it's a scaly, firm area, bumps or nodules that patients will say just won’t go away.
SCC has a precursor lesion called an actinic keratosis, which can feel like little bits of sandpaper on the skin. These are called precancerous spots and have a chance of evolving into SCC. We can see an overlap between pre-cancer and skin cancer. Generally, dermatologists will try to treat some of the pre-cancer to make sure they don't devolve into skin cancer, or in this case, SCC.
Diagnosis
SCC is diagnosed similarly to BCC. We'll do an initial examination and biopsy, typically a shave removal or a shave biopsy. Sometimes we will also do an incision or excisional biopsy, depending on the size of skin cancer. Then, we'll send that to pathology, and they'll give us the diagnosis. From there, we’ll tailor your treatment based on what the report says.
Treatment
SCC is treated very similarly to BCC. Generally, the first step for both BCC and SCC is surgery. The standard excision is most common for low-risk SCC. For higher-risk SCC cases, we will utilize Mohs surgery, which has a 97% cure rate for SCC cases and will allow us to have marginal control over the affected area.
For more superficial cases, we will use the same modalities as BCC, like scrap and freeze, chemotherapy, immunomodulators and topical chemotherapy creams. It depends on how deep the skin cancer has gone. Deeper areas will require surgical measures like Mohs surgery.
The risk of nonmelanoma cancers
The issue is that most publicity regarding skin cancer is focused on melanoma. Melanoma is one of the scarier skin cancers we see as dermatologists, but BCC and SCC should be taken just as seriously. What it really comes down to is recognizing the signs and symptoms of any form of skin cancer earlier rather than later, giving the skin cancers less time to progress. That’s why it's essential to address any concerns you might have right away.
A warning for patients
Far and away, I tell my patients, especially if they've had skin cancer or even a pre-cancer, to wear sunscreen or some form of sun protection. I always emphasize how important it is that patients be proactive in their skincare to minimize their risk of forming skin cancers because once you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer, you’re at a higher risk of developing other skin cancers.
So, if there's ever a concerning spot, please see a dermatologist and get it evaluated. It's easy for us to look at it and take a sample, especially if it means catching something that could have been prevented.
Prevention
Sun protection, sun protection, sun protection! I can’t say it enough. Patients have absolute control over this. Now, if you have an underlying genetic syndrome, that's something that's not necessarily in your control, but for most, sun protection is an easy form of prevention.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends wearing an SPF 30 sunscreen that is broadband and water-resistant. The biggest area I see patients struggle with is reapplication. Applying sunscreen once a day doesn't mean you're covered. When you're directly in the sun, you need to be reapplying every two hours. If you're sweating or in the pool, you need to reapply every 80 minutes, even with your water-resistant sunscreen.
There’s also some nice SPF clothing on the market. This type of clothing can be a great compromise for anyone that might not love the feel or greasiness of sunscreen.
Final thoughts
If you have a concerning spot, please contact your primary care doctor or get in to see a dermatologist. The bottom line is that early prevention and detection are key.

Adding IBM Frames to CM - Virtulization - AMO - BSA 8.1
Hi all,
I'm interested in exploring the capability of managing our P series frames using BSA and to be able to manage the virtual inventory of LPARs and VIO servers and IO devices. However I find the BSA users guide documentation to be limiting in its explanation for adding these resources as objects in to the CM. I understand that an AMO needs to be utilized in order to access the frames resources, we have plenty of HMCs in place today. But an HMC is a proprietary IBM devices and we are not able to install an RSCD agent, so here again we have another possible AMO that would need to be set up, though I do not seem to understand the process that would be used to create the AMO and access the frame. So I have to assume that the reference to AMO in the context of the documentation to access IBM frame is something altogether different from the HMC, but what?
So long story short, has anyone added IBM framesor can explain the process to do so?
I am referencing Chapter 19 pg. 771 of the 2/11 BSA users guide under"Working with virtual environments"
• 1. Adding IBM Frames to CM - Virtulization - AMO - BSA 8.1
Actually, its quite straight forward. BMC BladeLogic manages IBM Frames. We do this via the HMC's ssh commands.
To manage an IBM Frame from BladeLogic, you need to:
1. First enroll an ordinary AIX server (can be an LPAR)
2. Add IBM Frame AMO by 'Right Click' on Server Group -> Virtualization -> Add IBM Frame
3. In the new popup box, mention name of Frame as displayed within the HMC. Also in the Properties below, edit the AMO_PROXY_HOST property and select the AIX server you enrolled in Step 1
4. Finish the wizard and you will see a new IBM Frame enrolled within your system
5. Distribute the IBM Custom Object to this Frame (AMO) directly
6. Go to Configuration menu in UI -> Property Dictionary -> Built-in Properties -> Connection
7. Go to the Instance tab on the right side. There would be an auto-generated Connection instance for your Frame with the name 'Connection_<FrameName>'
8. Edit that instance and enter the following information
CONNETION_URL: FQDN of the HMC server
CONNETION_USER: User in HMC who has access to the Frame you want to manage
CONNETION_PASSWORD: Password of your HMC user
9. Save this instance and browse your IBM Frame. If everything is ok, live browse should start displaying you the right assets
You can enroll multiple IBM Frames (AMO) through the same proxy. Thus you do not need to add a new AIX server for every Frame you enroll.
Hope that helps you out....
• 2. Adding IBM Frames to CM - Virtulization - AMO - BSA 8.1
Additionally, you can refer the BMC BladeLogic Installation Guide - Chapter 8 - Section 'Setting up an IBM PowerVM Environment' on page 174. This has the steps listed in detail

Thank you Umar, when I searched the docs I must have missed that, appreciate the help.
UPDATE: I had an error in my config, found and fixed and seems to be working good now, thanks again...

Rivian acquires route planning app maker Iternio - CEO
By Abhirup Roy and Akash Sriram
SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 (Reuters) - Rivian RIVN.O has acquired Swedish EV route planning app maker Iternio to add its technology to its electric pickups and sport utility vehicles, as well use its data to better expand its own charging network, its CEO told Reuters on Wednesday.
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe did not disclose the value of the deal but said it was closed in the first quarter.
This comes after Reuters reported first on Tuesday on Rivian's plan to adopt Tesla's TSLA.O charging standard for its vehicles as well as its own small fast-charging network, which will give customers access to the biggest U.S. charging network and Rivian a significant revenue stream from Tesla users.
Iternio's app - called A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) and popular with EV owners in North America and Europe - provides route calculation services that take into account weather conditions, charging stops, vehicle weight and other factors.
Scaringe said Rivian would invest in improving and growing ABRP as a stand-alone app for users of other EVs and integrate Iternio's technology into its mobile app and in-vehicle navigation system.
"The data that comes off of having a very active user base allows us to be very intentional as to how we build out a charging infrastructure," Scaringe said, adding that data on locations that lack chargers or have chargers with poor performance would be particularly beneficial.
Iternio was founded in 2018 and operates two lines of business: the ABRP app, which is the consumer-facing side, and a back end where it provides routing data services for other entities.
"Solving broad-scale adoption of electrification requires a level of collaboration, particularly on charging, that's not typical for automotive," Scaringe said, referring to the deals with market leader Tesla and Iternio.

We have a content DB with more than 120GB of data, it consists mostly documents and would like to introduce RBS to reduce size on the SQL server.
Have installed and Configured RBS on SharePoint 2010 test environment which has a SharePoint server and SQL server.
However in the production, we have 2WFEs, 2Apps and SQL server, request you to help me with sequence of command execution.
On Dev:
1. Enabled FILESTREAM on the database server
2. Executed the following SQL command
EXEC sp_configure filestream_access_level, 2
RECONFIGURE
3.Provisioned BLOB store on the SQL server
use [WSS_Content]
if not exists (select * from sys.symmetric_keys where name = N'##MS_DatabaseMasterKey##')create master key encryption by password = N'Admin Key Password !2#4'
use [WSS_Content]
if not exists (select groupname from sysfilegroups where groupname=N'RBSFilestreamProvider')alter database [WSS_Content] add filegroup RBSFilestreamProvider contains filestream
use [WSS_Content]
alter database [WSS_Content] add file (name = RBSFilestreamFile, filename = 'C:\Blobstore') to filegroup RBSFilestreamProvider
4. Installed the RBS client component on the SharePoint server
msiexec /qn /lvx* rbs_install_log.txt /i RBS.msi TRUSTSERVERCERTIFICATE=true FILEGROUP=PRIMARY DBNAME="WSS_Content" DBINSTANCE="DBInstance Name" FILESTREAMFILEGROUP=RBSFilestreamProvider FILESTREAMSTORENAME=FilestreamProvider_1<br/>
5. Enabled RBS for the Content Database from Web Server
$cdb = Get-SPContentDatabase –WebApplication <URL>
$rbss = $cdb.RemoteBlobStorageSettings
$rbss.Installed()
$rbss.Enable()
$rbss.SetActiveProviderName($rbss.GetProviderNames()[0])<br/>
6. Adjusted the Blob Threshold
$cdb = Get-SPContentDatabase –WebApplication <URL>
$cdb.RemoteBlobStorageSettings.MinimumBlobStorageSize=1048576
$cdb.Update()<br/>
7. Moved Content into RBS
$cdb = Get-SPContentDatabase –WebApplication <URL>
$rbss = $cdb.RemoteBlobStorageSettings
$rbss.Migrate()<br/>
When should I install RBS and configure on all the additional Web and application servers ? I hope that I can use the same RBS client component to install on the additional servers and run the below command between step 4 and 5.
msiexec /qn /lvx* rbs_install_log.txt /i RBS.msi DBNAME="WSS_Content" DBINSTANCE="DBInstance Name" ADDLOCAL="Client,Docs,Maintainer,ServerScript,FilestreamClient,FilestreamServer"
2
• As I have installed RBS only on the SharePoint WFEs, dont see "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Remote Blob Storage 10.50\Maintainer" on the SQL Server 2008 R2, should I need to install the RBS using the same method on the WFEs? Jun 6, 2014 at 20:17
• One of the best article on RBS - simple-talk.com/content/print.aspx?article=1280 Jun 6, 2014 at 21:46

I would start out by taking a look at these links:
You run step 4 on the first web server and then this command on ALL other servers in the SharePoint farm:
msiexec /qn /lvx* rbs_install_log.txt /i RBS.msi DBNAME="WSS_Content" DBINSTANCE="DBInstanceName" ADDLOCAL=Client,Docs,Maintainer,ServerScript,FilestreamClient,FilestreamServer
I would read this article about planning for RBS to make sure that it makes sense in this case: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff628569(v=office.14).aspx
RBS just externalizes your data so it does not do anything additional with versioning. If you are on SharePoint 2013 you will already be taking advantage of shredded storage which helps reduce the size of versioning in your SharePoint content databases. http://blogs.technet.com/b/wbaer/archive/2012/11/12/introduction-to-shredded-storage-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
The Filestream/RBS data can be included in your SQL backups using a similar method to this: http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1854/how-to-backup-and-restore-a-sql-server-filestream-enabled-database/
I have also seen some success with tools for SharePoint RBS such as these:
These tools provide a little more flexibility than the Filestream RBS Provider.

• As discussed in - "Restore FILESTREAM Enabled Database Using MOVE Files Option" section on mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1854/…, how could I perform the DB backup/restore operation individually for SQL(mdf, ldf & trns) & FS? This could save lot of time as the targeted DB is around ~120+GB. Jun 13, 2014 at 15:38

Bernardino de Rossi
Bernardino de Rossi, who worked at Pavia, was one of the artists called to Milan in 1490 to decorate the Porta Giovia Palace of Lodovico Sforza. In the church of Santa Maria della Pusterla, Pavia, is a picture of the 'Virgin, with Saints and Donors,' signed and dated by him in 1491. Between the years 1498 and 1508 he decorated the Certosa of Pavia with wall paintings, of which the frescoes of the 'Eternal,' the 'Prophets,' and the 'Virgin Annunciate' still remain. In 1511 he executed some frescoes for the church at Vigano, belonging to the Carthusians of Pavia, which have now disappeared. No certain dates can be given of his birth or death. | WIKI |

"It is over-eating that makes you so ill tempered," said he.
"How do you know?" I demanded. "It is like you to give a pragmatical opinion without being acquainted with any of the circumstances of the case; I have had no dinner."
What I said was petulant and snappish enough, and Hunsden only replied by looking in my face and laughing.
"Poor thing!" he whined, after a pause. "It has had no dinner, has it? What! I suppose its master would not let it come home. Did Crimsworth order you to fast by way of punishment, William?"
"No, Mr. Hunsden." Fortunately, at this sulky juncture, tea was brought in, and I fell to upon some bread and butter and cold beef directly. Having cleared a plateful, I became so far humanized as to intimate to Mr. Hunsden "that he need not sit there staring, but might come to the table and do as I did, if he liked." | WIKI |

Nicosia Marathon
Nicosia Marathon (branded The Quantum Nicosia Marathon) is an international marathon (42.195 km) that courses through Nicosia. Its inaugural run was held on October 10, 2010. as a half-marathon race. It was founded in 2010. by the Athanasios Ktorides Foundation to commemorate 2,500 years of Battle of Marathon. The course begins at the Famagusta Gate, the chief gate of old Nicosia walls, and comes back.
Description
The Quantum Nicosia Marathon is organized and founded by the Athanasios Ktorides Foundation. It is branded as Quantum Nicosia Marathon after name of its main sponsor Quantum Energy. First Quantum marathon took place in Nicosia, Cyprus on October 10, 2010. as a half marathon and 4.6 km race. It was organized just 2,500 years after Battle of Marathon, which took place in 490 BC. More than 5,000 runners participated in first marathon race in Nicosia. Winner of first marathon race in 2010 was Konstantinos Poulios with time 1:06:31.
The next marathon was organized on December 9, 2012; on that date, a marathon, a half marathon, a 10 km run, a 5 km run and a 1 km UNICEF Charity run took place. More than seven thousand runners participated in the Quantum Nicosia Marathon. Marathon took place on streets of Nicosia. Start and finish of race was at the Famagusta Gate, chief gate of old Nicosia walls. The Quantum Nicosia Marathon course is of a low degree of difficulty. The Marathon flame arrived for first time on Cyprus on December 6, 2012, just 3 days before start of the Quantum Nicosia Marathon. Nasos Ktorides had honour to bring the Marathon Flame first to the Antarctic Ice Marathon and then to Cyprus.
At Athalassa park in Nicosia on December 2, 2018, a 7.7 km race in honour of Cypriot Marathon runner Stelios Kyriakides was organized; Kynakides had won the Boston Marathon in 1946. Race distance symbolically represents Kyriakides jersey number 77 during his winning Boston race. Despite the Covid-19 restrictions, the “Quantum Nicosia Marathon 2021” included the Half Marathon, the “Stelios Kyriakides 7.7 miles”, the 5K Race and the sMile Run.
On December 11, 2022, the races for the “Quantum Nicosia Marathon 2022” included the Marathon and Half Marathon (starting from University of Cyprus Library), and the “Stelios Kyriakides 7.7 miles”, the 5K Race and the Quantum sMile Run, start and finish at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre. Yiorgos Harakis from Cyprus and Anna Kawalec from Poland were winners of the «Quantum Nicosia Marathon 2022. All the funds from the participation fees are donated to the Little Heroes, the Parents and Friends of Children with Heart Disease, the Alkinoos Artemiou Foundation, Autism Cyprus, Mothers and Relatives of National Guard PEMSE and the Nicosia Municipal Multipurpose Community Centre.
Accreditation
The marathon is recognized by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races and the International Association of Athletics Federations. Roads are officially closed to traffic throughout the entire length of the race and medical support is offered along the race course.
Participation
Runners are mostly European but participation from Brazil, United States, Australia, Japan, Ethiopia, China and Turkey are very common.
The oldest runner was Cypriot Andreas Pampakas, aged 76 with children as young as 4 years old participating as well.
The Athanasios Ktorides Foundation simultaneously with the marathon organized “Winner’s Fair” with many different activities. All proceeds are donated to the Cyprus Anti-Cancer Society. The Foundation also from the marathon participations' revenue supported the charitable institutions “One Dream One Wish", The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics, the Association of Parents and Friends of Children with Heart Disease and UNICEF.

Delta 8 Flower
Over the past few years, the information on cannabis has continued to grow, resulting in more people becoming familiar with a wider variety of cannabinoids. Though Delta-9 THC is the proper name of the cannabinoid compound that most people generally use to get high, other types of cannabis products, such as Delta-8 THC, also have psychoactive effects.
The increase in the popularity of Delta-8 hemp flower has been mainly down to the compound’s legality and its unique effects. There is, however, a limited selection of Delta-8 hemp flower products, one of them being the Delta-8 industrial hemp flower.
This article will share all the information you need to know about the Delta-8 industrial hemp flower.
What Is Delta-8
THC Flower?
The number eight in D8 refers to the placement of the compound’s chemical bond. Structurally, it closely resembles that of Delta-9 (D9). The two cannabis products also have several similar effects. There are, however, a few key differences between the two.
For starters, hemp and cannabis plants only grow minimal amounts of D8. For manufacturers to make Delta-8 hemp flower, they have to add Delta-8 THC to a hemp plant. It needs particular breeding, extraction, and processing techniques because adding Delta-8 THC to a hemp plant creates a sticky, soggy mess almost impossible to consume. This stickiness is because, in its pure form, the product is a thick fluid that never solidifies.
Is Delta-8 Legal?
While Delta-8 THC is considered legal in every state apart from Utah, Rhode Island, Montana, Mississippi, Iowa, Idaho, Delaware, Colorado, Arkansas, Arizona, and Alaska, its legality is a bit more complicated.
The legality of the product all comes down to how you source it. As you know, D9 remains highly illegal in many American states. Since 1970, the U.S Federal Law has classified D9 THC, along with LSD and heroin, as a Schedule I substance.
If you convert D9 THC to Delta-8 distillate, then the product will be considered illegal. However, if you convert your Delta-8 distillate from either hemp or CBD, it will be regarded as legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, also known as the H.R. 2: The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018.
The 2018 Farm Bill describes hemp flower as the cannabis Sativa plant and any parts of the plant currently growing or not. That includes its seeds and all its derivatives, including cannabinoids, acids, salts, extracts, isomers, and salts of isomers, with a D9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration not exceeding 0.3% of its weight when the product is dry.
D8 is a derivative of CBD and hemp, an isomer of CBD, a cannabinoid found in hemp, and is considered legal as long as the final product does not have more than 0.3% of Delta-9 THC.
The Effects of Delta-8 Hemp
Delta-8 hemp flower is usually found in concentrated form, meaning that you will only need a few drops for it to be effective. The best way to use Delta-8 hemp flower is with a dab rig.
Unlike CBD, which medical experts laud for its medicinal benefits and lack of psychoactive effects, Delta-8 is different. Similar to D9, the product does have psychoactive effects and will show up on a drug test. However, as a consumer, you will not experience its impact at the same potency level as D9.
While the effects of Delta-8 are yet to be researched extensively, there have been several positive experiences reported by those who have used the compound. The product has been shown to impart relaxation and focus, reduce pain, and decrease nausea. The National Cancer Institute has even recognized the Delta-8 hemp flower, noting that it has anxiolytic, antiemetic, neuroprotective, and analgesic qualities.
One way to think of the product’s effects is like a toned-down version of D9. Another way to think of Delta-8 hemp flower is as a middle ground between hemp, CBD, and Delta-9 THC. Delta-8 hemp flower reduces the intensity of D9’s psychoactive effects and the potential adverse side effects users commonly experience.
In many cases, regular Delta-8 hemp flower users have reported that they did not feel the anxiety, dizziness, and paranoia that Delta-9 THC often causes. This difference is because D8’s different molecular structure causes it to bind to CB1 receptors differently. These receptors play a crucial role in your endocannabinoid system. They also regulate most of THC’s psychoactive effects.
The hemp flower will still induce a few of the typical psychoactive effects, giving you euphoria, stimulating your appetite, and relaxing or energizing you, depending on the cannabinoid profile and larger terpene with less intensity. The hemp flower might also cause drowsiness or dizziness, so it is best not to use it while operating heavy machinery or driving.
Is Delta-8 Safe?
While Delta-8’s psychoactive effects wear off in a few hours, its use could pose some harm if you are pregnant, have a higher risk of developing mental health disorders, or are vulnerable to respiratory problems.
Therefore, though D8 has various benefits, it is always best to consult your physician before using it and be responsible and mindful when consuming this flower, whether for recreational or medicinal purposes. Also, you should not consume it if you are under 18 years of age.
Advantages of Delta-8 Hemp Flower
For some users, the potency of Delta-9’s psychoactive effects is what they are after. But, there are several advantages that you could enjoy by using Delta-8 hemp flower instead. The CBD flower can keep your body and mind healthy. Here are a few reasons why you should consider using this CBD flower.
Analgesic
Delta-8 CBD flower has excellent potential in treating inflammation and pain, according to reports from Cannabinoid and Cannabis research. The CBD flower is a phytocannabinoid with antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties that quickly heal body pain. Even if you use Delta-8 distillate oil topically by applying it on an injured area, you will notice that the swelling in the area will begin to subside soon.
Memory and Appetite Stimulant
Delta-8 CBD flower is also beneficial in boosting your memory and increasing your appetite. Using a small amount of Delta-8 flower regularly will make you want to eat more. The flower will impact further positive changes as it helps you become more focused as you work.
Antitumor
According to a National Cancer Institute study done in 2013, Delta-8 flower inhibits tumor growth, significantly reducing cancer risks in your body. Delta-8 distillate prevents the growth of Lewis lung adenocarcinoma cells both in its vivo and vitro modes. This information means that tumors cannot grow bigger or spread cancerous cells in your body. Additionally, because of specific components of the Delta-8 flower, the carcinogenic cells die over time.
Antiemetic
According to recent studies conducted by several scientists, the flower can significantly reduce, treat, cure, or prevent nausea. This effect can be an essential benefit for those who are currently taking medication for nausea. Some of these prescription medications have multiple adverse side effects. On the other hand, due to Delta-8’s antiemetic ability, the CBD flower cures nausea without producing any side effects. It can also prevent frequent vomiting and can help you feel energetic. Scientists are also of the opinion that this Delta-8 trait can help treat, cure, or prevent hematologic cancer.
IN SUMMARY
There is still a lot that experts are discovering about D8’s effects, advantages, and possible drawbacks. The early signs are, however, very promising.
Stock up on some of the quality Delta-8 and other related products we have on sale and enjoy everything that the world of THC has to offer.

Iron Ore in the Pilbara, Australia with Lisa Gillespie | Pilbara
Originally from the UK, Lisa is an exploration geologist working in northern Western Australia. You can read more about her adventures here.
The Pilbara region of north-western Australia, approximately 1,100 km north of Perth, is one of the world’s major iron ore provinces. Over 500 Mt (millons of tons) are exported annually from Western Australia’s northern ports after travelling hundreds of kilometres by rail from the state’s red interior, much of it bound for China.
The Hamersley Range is situated at the southern edge of the Pilbara craton and consists of Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic volcanics, metasediments and, of course, banded iron formation (BIF). The major ore-bearing stratigraphic units are hosted within the Brockman, Marra Mamba and, to a lesser extent, the Boolgeeda Iron Formations. These are thick BIF sequences interbedded with minor shale bands, which contain the deleterious elements of the ore product, mainly SiO2, Al2O3 and P.

As well as the mining industry the Pilbara region and its valuable BIFs host Karijini National Park, the second largest national park in Australia. The park is known for its gorges, formed by seasonal rivers eroding through the BIFs, waterfalls and swimming holes. Due to its relative isolation the chances are that you can have an entire swimming hole to yourself, perhaps with the occasional rock wallaby looking on.
However it is the economic potential rather than natural beauty that brings most people “up north”. Though there are different types and varieties of iron ore, depending on mineralogy, metallurgical properties and provenance, the most prized is lumpy haematitic ore, grading up to 68% Fe. The largest occurrences of this often deep-seated, high-grade material can be found in the mines of Mt. Whaleback and Mt. Tom Price, run by two of the world’s biggest mining companies, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, respectively.

There are three main types of iron ore: bedded, channel, and magnetite. Bedded iron ore forms the highest-grade material and forms the majority of the exported product. As well as the aforementioned microplaty haematite ores, martite-goethite and martite-ochreous goethite (limonite) are typical mineral assemblages of the bedded ore. As a general rule the Marra Mamba and Boolgeeda ores tend to have significantly higher limonite content than the Brockman units.

Micro-platy haematite – note typical blue colour.
Channel iron deposits consist of vast accumulations of Fe pisoids (concentric accretions of goethite around a haematite core) formed in a fluvial environment. These channels, such as the Yandi and Robe River deposits, have remarkably consistent geochemistry. Metallurgically, their high fines (<2 mm) content means they are valuable as a sinter product for steel mills. This desirability, along with relatively low strip ratios, means channel deposits can be among the most profitable of mines.
Magnetite mines are the least common and have a relatively low Fe content. Most magnetite product is beneficiated to produce Fe pellets prior to export. Though this produces a high-quality lump product for blast furnaces, the additional refinement cost prior to export means that this is not a common strategy for iron ore producers.

Ore trains in the Pilbara are often over a kilometre long.
Genesis of the bedded iron ore deposits is disputed. In broad terms, the consensus is that supergene alteration formed the majority of the martite-goethite deposits, with meteoric fluids removing the silica component of the BIF and altering the magnetite to a martite, a form of haematite. Ochreous goethite is formed as part of the supergene enrichment process and is a more hydrated form of iron ore.
The less common but highly prized microplaty haematite is theorised to have formed with a hypogene influence. Intrusives from the Mt Sylvania Inlier (Mt Whaleback) and dyke swarms around Mt Tom Price, coupled with complex faulting, are posited to have provided fluids to form microplaty ore.
Exploration of bedded iron ore deposits is driven by structural understanding of the regional stratigraphy to determine where any faulted/folded/buried prospective iron formations may occur. During drilling, the sub units within the iron formations can be recognised through using downhole gamma traces: shale units containing radioactive elements emit more radiation than the surrounding BIFs and so have a higher profile and a distinctive pattern, where not influenced by folding and faulting.
Following the steady decline of iron ore prices through 2014, companies are scaling back on capital costs and much of current exploration is focussed on resource definition of near-mine deposits. However there remains high potential throughout the Pilbara for significant deposits buried under Quaternary cover or, if hypogene genesis theories are correct, beneath thick sequences of unmineralised and seemingly unprospective BIF.

Christmas Sing-Along with Mitch
Christmas Sing Along with Mitch is an album by Mitch Miller & The Gang. It was released in 1958 on the Columbia label (catalog nos. CL-1205 and CS-8027).
The album entered Billboard magazine's popular albums chart on December 29, 1958, and was No. 1 for two weeks. It returned to the chart in 1959 (No. 8), 1960 (No. 6), 1961 (No. 9) and 1962 (No. 37). It was certified as a gold record by the RIAA.
AllMusic later gave the album a rating of four-and-a-half stars. The reviewer David A. Milberg wrote that it "documents the MOR sound of the '50s".
Charlotte Greig, in her book 100 Best Selling Albums of the 50s, writes, "There's no Jingle Bells here. Instead, this is an entirely religious selection, one devoted to Christmas rather than Xmas. Miller would make up for that a couple of years later by recording Holiday Sing Along, with Santa songs in abundance" The latter holiday record consisted of modern vernacular carols, while this one focused on traditional songs, several of a religious nature.

Inoue Masasada
Inoue Masasada (井上正定) was a daimyō and official of the Tokugawa shogunate during mid-Edo period Japan.
Biography
Inoue Masasada was the second son of the previous daimyō of Hamamatsu Domain, Inoue Masatsune. He became 7th head of the Mikawa-branch of Inoue clan and daimyō of Hamamatsu Domain on his father's death in 1766. In 1769, he was awarded Lower 5th Court Rank and the courtesy title of Kawachi-no-kami.
In 1774, Masasada entered the administration of the Tokugawa shogunate as a Sōshaban (Master of Ceremonies), becoming Jisha-bugyō on May 11, 1781.
Inoue Masasada was married to a daughter of Matsudaira Norisuke, daimyō of Yamagata Domain, but had three other concubines. He died in 1786 at the relatively young age of 33 and was succeeded by his eldest son Inoue Masamoto. | WIKI |

摘要Coexisting dual kinetic geodesic acoustic modes (KGAMs) with similar characteristics have been observed with Langmuir probe arrays in the edge plasma of HL-2A tokamak with low density Ohmic discharge. The dual KGAMs are named a low-frequency GAM (LFGAM) and a high-frequency GAM (HFGAM), respectively. By changing the line averaged density from 1.0 x 10(19) m(-3) to 0.7 x 10(19) m(-3), the study of ne and Te profiles indicate that collision damping rate plays a crucial role on exciting of dual KGAMs, especially for the higher frequency branch (HFGAM). With the application of modulating techniques, we provide direct proof that nonlinear interactions between GAMs and ambient turbulence (AT) show great difference at different radial positions. At the exciting position of GAM, the amplitude modulation of AT is dominant, indicating that GAM is generated in the energy-conserving triad interaction. After the exciting of GAMs, they will propagate both inward and outward. During the propagation, the phase modulation of AT is dominant, GAMs can rarely gain energy from AT, yet they can give back-reactions on AT through shearing effect.

Computer & TechnologyCAD, simple! A simple $300 laptop computer isn’t enough for dealing with critical engineering works in software like AutoCAD and Catia. Software installation size is large, processor requirement is swift and the software program actually eats the RAM. Either manner, the message I used to be trying to get across is that if one desires to assert we reside in a computer simulation one has to show it’s attainable to breed our observations this fashion. That is not easy, and obscure phrases will not do. Jan, For lower than that $50 you paid for a one-time studying, you would have bought your individual code reader similar to those proven in this article.
Something might be simulated. You want to stop pondering that one thing can’t be simulated as a result of your Dell is a binary computer. There’s a motive I quoted that particular sentence of yours. As a result of it is mistaken. Absolutely nothing a few binary laptop restricts it from simulating the probabalistic location of an electron. Why you’ll think it does is beyond me. Like I stated, you don’t seem to grasp how computers and/or programming works. Your opinion is most actually primarily based on that reality. But even studying a tiny little bit about pc programming would show you ways that opinion is just not a very good one.
Also, while you can achieve a significant efficiency increase by going with a SLI or Crossfire configuration, there could be stability benefits to simply going with single card. In other words, if you’re willing to work along with your graphics card when it comes to cooling and stability to get it the place you want, then a twin setup could possibly be the best way to go; however, should you do not need to mess with it, then you possibly can still get nice efficiency, at this value level, out of a single GPU.
The GTX 1050 is a improbable card and really able to taking part in fashionable games in 1080p. Whereas a number of the more graphically intense video games will have to be tuned down a bit in the settings most video games will run with out a thought. An alternate right here may be to go along with the RX 480 8GB. It’s primarily the identical card as the RX 580 but usually times cheaper.
There are millions of varieties of computer systems out there. There are so many varieties of assembled computers, you should have no concept which one is finest for you. Some web sites, like Tom’s Hardware, can evaluate certain pieces of hardware for you to see which is mostly higher than the opposite. Get off as a lot sugar and carbs as you can!!! Do it.

Ollie Gleichenhaus
Oliver George Gleichenhaus (September 30, 1911 – January 10, 1991) named the "re-inventor" of the hamburger, was an American restaurateur, best known for his small North Miami Beach, Florida, restaurant "Ollie's Sandwich Shop", located at Third Avenue and 23rd Street, where in the mid-1930s, he created his signature "Ollie Burger" which he prepared with his secret blend of 23 herbs and spices. Extremely profane and irascible, Gleichenhaus was known to curse at and eject diners who requested condiments like ketchup to add to his "perfect burgers".
Food franchise mogul John Y. Brown Jr., seeking to add a signature hamburger to his then struggling Lum's Restaurant group, purchased the rights to Gleichenhaus's Ollie Burger, his recipes and likeness for a reported one million dollars. Brown also created the "Ollie's Trolley" franchise consisting of small, take-out only restaurants that prominently featured Gleichenhaus's signature hamburger. Gleichenhaus was required to act as the company's brand ambassador and figurehead. His name and image were used as symbols of the company. The franchise was dissolved in the 1980s. Gleichenhaus's secret formula "Ollieburger" and "Ollie Fries" spice mixes are still available. Gleichenhaus died in 1991 in Miami, Florida, after open heart surgery.
Early life
Oliver George "Ollie" Gleichenhaus was born September 30, 1911, in Brooklyn, New York, the fifth of Adeline (née Abrams) and Leopold Gleichenhaus's five children. His father was a cloak and dress cutter, working with his brother Isaac at L. & I. Gleichenhaus in New York City. Gleichenhaus said his mother took him to Florida as a child "for health reasons".
"Ollie's Sandwich Shop"
Gleichenhaus ran "Ollie's Sandwich Shop", a small Miami Beach, Florida, diner located at 315 23rd Street, at Liberty Avenue and 23rd Street. The diner had just seven stools and three booths and was not air-conditioned, but customers stood in line all day long, waiting to dine. Gleichenhaus said of the restaurant, "It was a crummy dive, but it had charisma".
A temperamental restaurateur
Gleichenhaus would not allow his customers to request any changes to the food he prepared, saying "When you eat in my joint, you eat what I want you to eat, or out you go!" and "My customers ate what I told them to". He resented customers who left food on their plate, and a customer who requested "good" food would so irritate him, he would turn off the lights and order everyone out of the diner. In 1977 Gleichenhaus said "Anybody who orders an Ollieburger well done should go to a crematorium" and "If you put ketchup on it [an Ollieburger], I'll charge you double."
The Ollie Burger
Gleichenhaus's Ollie Burger was a ⅓-pound hamburger patty made from ground ends of beef tenderloin. "It has to be thick for flavor". The burger was always cooked and served medium-rare, heavily spiced and sauced and served with a slice of melted mozzarella cheese. Discussing the cheese he selected for his Ollie Burger, Gleichenhaus said, "it took me five years to get the right kind. American wasn't right. Gruyere was too chewey. Then I found mozzarella, melts quick".
Origin of his secret spice blend recipe
In 1974, Gleichenhaus discussed the origin of his Ollie Burger. "I started with little hamburgers on a plain grill, just like everyone else. My burgers had the lettuce, the tomato – the whole schmear! ... I knew I had to find somethin' different, you know, somethin' with a little kick if I was going to get ahead. So I started experimenting. I'd try this and try that".
By the mid-1960s, he had perfected a secret blend of 23 herbs and spices. "I was like a witch conjuring up a brew. I tried everything over the years. Everything! So many different herbs, spices and sauces, you wouldn't believe ... Took me thirty years to get the formula of ingredients right". "It's a question of how to marry them [the spices]. They all have to have their own identity. You don't grind them. They have a cover Nature put on them. The aroma stays in. When they hit the fire, they open up".
He used the spice blend dry and also mixed the blend in a salad dressing based sauce. He dabbed the spiced sauce on his signature "Ollie Burger" burger patties with a brush as they cooked, saying "Dab it on. Smell the bouquet, 23 natural organic seeds, we don't grind them, keeps the aromas intact". He explained the spice mix had to be applied to the outside of the hamburger, saying "... not herbs IN the meat, it would taste like a meat loaf". He also heavily dressed both sides of the burger bun with the sauce.
He used the same spice mixture dry as a seasoning on his fresh French fries, naming them "Ollie Fries". Fried in safflower oil, he said the secret to their taste was not cooking them a minute before the meal. He tossed the fries and his spice mixture together in a bowl lined with ten layers of filter paper.
Insistence on quality
In 1965, an Ollie Burger cost 60 cents at a time when 12 cent hamburgers were the national norm. Gleichenhaus had a sign posted in his diner's front window, "If you're more interested in price than quality, I don't want you". He said "Success isn't measured in money – I couldn't stand a hamburger joint where they serve garbage, even if it made me rich".
"The best hamburger in America"
John Y. Brown, Jr., had purchased Kentucky Fried Chicken from Harland Sanders, built it into an 830 million dollar franchise and sold it to spirits distributor Heublein in 1971. Brown then purchased Lum's Restaurant Group, a 340-outlet beer-and-hot-dog chain, for $4,000,000 in cash. Lum's franchises had lost $150,000 the previous year. According to Brown, "they did not have very good food. I figured that upgrading it would be my first task." Brown wanted to rebuild Lum's around an exclusive hamburger recipe and set out to find "the best hamburger in America".
Brown visited the Miami diner in the fall of 1971, ordering and slowly eating five of the ⅓-pound Ollie Burgers. Gleichenhaus questioned Brown's intense interest. "I said 'What's with this guy? Does he have a tapeworm or sumpin?'" After finishing his fifth Ollie Burger, Brown introduced himself and said the hamburgers were the best he had ever tasted.
Brown told Gleichenhaus he owned Lum's and wanted his Ollie Burger for the restaurant group. "I wouldn't drink coffee in that joint" Gleichenhaus replied. Brown pressed Gleichenhaus to sell him the recipe, saying "Ollie, I'm going to make you rich". Gleichenhaus said "John Y., what do I need rich for? I got security". Brown brought his family to sample the burgers, and they said they loved them. Brown brought friends to the diner, betting them $100 that the Ollie Burger was the best burger they had ever eaten. "To a man, Brown's friends left $100 poorer". A persistent Brown had someone contact Gleichenhaus every day for three months to no avail. Gleichenhaus said he worried "mass production would ruin his burger".
A winning appeal to ego
Finally, Brown appealed to Gleichenhaus's ego. He told Gleichenhaus that he wanted to make him "bigger than the Colonel" (Colonel Harland Sanders), putting his face and name in lights and his Ollie Burger on plates everywhere. Gleichenhaus said "He couldn't get me on the money angle, see, but when he told me my picture would be all over town like the Colonel's – everywhere you go you see the Colonel – I said 'Gee, that would be nice'". Gleichenhaus said "Three months I held him off, but I finally accepted his deal". Gleichenhaus closed the diner and left a sign in the window that read "Gone to be a star – back next week".
Sold for a million dollars
In 1971, Brown bought Gleichenhaus's recipe for $1 million, stock in the new company and a ten-year contract for $50,000 a year to appear as the official spokesperson of the Ollieburger.
Investors were told that Gleichenhaus and his hamburger recipe with secret ingredients meant that "Ollie would be the Colonel Sanders of hamburgers". In 1972, "Ollieburger" was registered as a US trademark.
Scaling the recipe
Gleichenhaus worked with Lum's for over six months working to standardize his recipes within the restaurant chain. Gleichenhaus insisted his hamburgers had to be cooked "on a gas fired grill" and cooked to just medium rare. He insisted when a hamburger was cooked to well done, "... then they're lousy. That's what I gotta watch. Somebody wants it well-done, I tell 'em they should order a hot dog. If they say they can't stand looking at pink meat, I tell 'em to close their eyes". He also said he had to keep his eye on the buns. "They've got to be at least ten percent egg and have a little honey. After all, when you're wearing a $300 suit, you don't put on sneakers to go with it".
He kept his seasoning recipe secret, having one half of his spice mix blended in Baltimore and the other half in Chicago. He said the two mixtures were combined "somewhere else". Gleichenhaus said the resulting mix of 23 spices was "better than Chanel No. 5".
Mass-producing Gleichenhaus's spicy sauce required extra effort. "Six months they took to make my formula. I sent them gallons of the stuff before the chemists could even come close and the spice companies said they'd never seen anything like it." Paramount Foods Inc. in Louisville, Kentucky, manufactured the sauce to Gleichenhaus's recipe.
Gleichenhaus had always cooked his Ollie Burgers to medium rare and used his years of experience to know when they had reached that point by feel. "How many got this touch?" he asked. "It's a science, a feel". The answer was found in a Louisville, Kentucky, test kitchen. A special "fire-flame" grill was developed that cooked both sides of the burger at the same time, to the exact desired doneness and temperature.
Lum's Restaurant
Gleichenhaus was unsure Lum's cooks could duplicate his masterpiece, saying: “Those yo-yos are looking for a short way to make my burgers, but there’s no way other than the right way".
Ollie Burgers were first test-marketed in Miami, Florida, and Columbus, Ohio. Brown then introduced the Ollieburger nationally as a signature item on the Lum's Restaurant group menu in all 300 locations. During test marketing of the Ollie Burger, sales at the Columbus, Ohio, Lum's jumped 35 per cent. 63 television commercials featuring Gleichenhaus in “an Archie Bunker kind of approach" were created and broadcast to build Gleichenhaus's image throughout the US.
In 1974, it was reported that the Ollie Burger had captured a 15 to 20% share of Lum's Restaurant food sales while their mainstay hot dog sales had fallen 6 to 7%. In 1975, Lum's advertised the Ollie Burger as "the heavy-weight champion of the world", touting its ⅓-pound weight as "outclassing and outweighing all the other ¼ pounders".
In 1977, Lum's restaurants advertised "The man who invented the Ollieburger presents ... The buck-and-a-half meal-and-a-half!" for $1.50. The deal offered diners an Ollie Burger, French fries and "a schooner of beer".
Ollie's Trolley
While Brown had employees scouting America for the perfect hamburger for Lum's, Brown and his family went skiing in Aspen, Colorado. On a lift to the top of the mountain, Brown spotted a small trolley down below, selling popcorn. It reminded him of the trolleys in Louisville during his childhood. He said "Well, it was just sort of cute".
Brown decided that, while selling Ollieburgers at Lum's, he'd also sell them from small, stand-alone replica trolley cars. Brown then made the Ollieburger the centerpiece of his new streetcar-themed "Ollie's Trolley" fast food chain, where “the world’s best hamburger” was served up in bright yellow and red replicas of old-fashioned trolley cars. The initial trolleys were fabricated by Castle Industries, a modular housing fabricator in New Castle, Kentucky. With just one door in and one door out, Ollieburgers were sold as take-out only. The 20 by 12 foot "trolley car" stores barely held three or four customers at a time who entered, placed their order, waited in line and left with their food order in a paper sack. Brown planned to place at least one of these tiny streetcar restaurants in every city in America.
While burgers were the star, Ollie's Trolley also offered hotdogs, chicken sandwiches, milkshakes and spice-coated french fries named "Ollie Fries".
Spurious "Ollie Burger" and "Ollie Fries" spice recipes
Over the decades, nostalgic fans of Ollie's Trolley have tried to replicate Gleichenhaus's secret spice formulas. The internet is full of so-called "authentic" recipes that rely on spurious ingredients never mentioned by Gleichenhaus such as A.1. Steak Sauce, Heinz 57 Sauce, crushed beef bouillon cubes and the like. These incorrect spice recipes often offer "proof" of their authenticity, saying "The recipe is 100% authentic. I know because I have already tried it". For many years, Gleichenhaus only mentioned using pure spices that were unground, used in their full form for intense flavor. He never referred to using bouillon cubes and cider vinegar. Authentic Ollie Burger spices and other spice blends used by the now defunct Lum's Restaurant group are still available.
Franchise start and expansion
The first Ollie's Trolley opened in March 1973 in Louisville, Kentucky. Four months later, John Y. Brown said the store "has a $100 a day break-even figure and it's already taking in about $600" (per day). International sales began with two units installed in Windsor, Ontario, Canada in July 1973.
By 1976, it was reported there were seventy-five Ollie's Trolleys in seven states. Twelve stores were located in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1978, it was reported that Ollie Burgers were available in 400 Lum's locations and 200 Ollie's Trolleys across America.
End of the franchise
Despite positive test market feedback, some found Ollie Burgers too spicy and too salty. The Ollie's Trolley "park, walk-in, take-out-only" concept also proved to be a problem as many fast food rivals began adding more convenient drive-through windows.
In 1982, John Y. Brown said "that venture (Ollie's Trolley) collapsed".
Counterfeit "Ollie Burgers"
In 1987, Gleichenhaus, who then held the US Trademark 1,104,558 for the word mark "Ollie", publicly protested the sale across America of counterfeit hamburgers named and being sold as "Ollie Burgers" due to the then media attention of Lt. Col. Oliver North. He said "They can't use my name".
Humble in success
Gleichenhaus kept a keen sense of humility even though he had suddenly become a millionaire, a corporate spokesman and had appeared in countless parades, store openings and local and network television interviews and shows.
In 1972, it was reported that Gleichenhaus would visit his old and by then closed shop of 37 years and simply sweep the sidewalk because "he missed it".
Describing his recent success in 1976, he mentioned he still lived in Miami Beach, but had moved to an apartment with a swimming pool. He said "And I got what I wanted most: two bathrooms in my apartment. To me, that's the epitome of success".
Death
Gleichenhaus died in Miami, Florida, on January 10, 1991, after open heart surgery. His Associated Press obituary quoted Terry, his wife of 34 years, who said of Gleichenhaus "He was a very vibrant, very outgoing person who never shut his mouth". | WIKI |
Moses Haughton the Younger
Moses Haughton (7 July 1773 – 26 June 1849) was a British engraver and painter, often of miniatures.
Life
Born in Wednesbury in the Black Country, the nephew of the painter Moses Haughton the elder, he moved to Liverpool in 1790. There he became a friend of William Roscoe and possibly studied under George Stubbs before enrolling at the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1795. In 1796 William Roscoe mentions Haughton as a 'young engraver' of note.
From 1803, Haughton was the resident engraver to Henry Fuseli, and it was largely through Haughton's prints that Fuseli's work became widely known; He painted a well known Miniature of Fuseli and his wife Sophia Rawlins. He became a close friend of Henry Fuseli, and resided with the Fuseli's in the Keeper's Apartments at Somerset House (RA). After Fuseli's death, Mrs. Fuseli lived with the Haughton family.
Haughton exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1808 to 1848. Most of his engravings are for Fuseli, from paintings. Two miniatures, "The Love Dream", and "The Captive" were engraved by R. W. Sievier; other portraits were also engraved. Amongst his notable portrait subjects were Erasmus Darwin and Sir Joshua Reynolds. | WIKI |

--- template: text.html title: Setting up my personal mailserver subtitle: This is probably a terrible idea… date: 2019-08-15 url: mailserver --- A mailserver was a long time coming. I'd made an attempt at setting one up around ~4 years ago (ish), and IIRC, I quit when it came to DNS. And I almost did this time too.[^1] For this attempt, I wanted a simpler approach. I recall how terribly confusing Dovecot & Postfix were to configure and hence I decided to look for a containerized solution, that most importantly, runs on my cheap $5 Digital Ocean VPS -- 1 vCPU and 1 GB memory. Of which only around 500 MB is actually available. So yeah, *pretty* tight. ## What's available Turns out, there are quite a few of these OOTB, ready to deply solutions. These are the ones I came across: - [poste.io](https://poste.io): Based on an "open core" model. The base install is open source and free (as in beer), but you'll have to pay for the extra stuff. - [mailu.io](https://mailu.io): Free software. Draws inspiration from poste.io, but ships with a web UI that I didn't need. - [mailcow.email](https://mailcow.email): These fancy domains are getting ridiculous. But more importantly they need 2 GiB of RAM *plus* swap?! Nope. - [Mail-in-a-Box](https://mailinabox.email): Unlike the ones above, not a Docker-based solution but definitely worth a mention. It however, needs a fresh box to work with. A box with absolutely nothing else on it. I can't afford to do that. - [docker-mailserver](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/): **The winner**. ## So… `docker-mailserver` The first thing that caught my eye in the README: > Recommended: > > - 1 CPU > - 1GB RAM > > Minimum: > > - 1 CPU > - 512MB RAM Fantastic, I can somehow squeeze this into my existing VPS. Setup was fairly simple & the docs are pretty good. It employs a single `.env` file for configuration, which is great. However, I did run into a couple of hiccups here and there. One especially nasty one was `docker` / `docker-compose` running out of memory. ``` Error response from daemon: cannot stop container: 2377e5c0b456: Cannot kill container 2377e5c0b456226ecaa66a5ac18071fc5885b8a9912feeefb07593638b9a40d1: OCI runtime state failed: runc did not terminate sucessfully: fatal error: runtime: out of memory ``` But it eventually worked after a couple of attempts. The next thing I struggled with -- DNS. Specifically, the with the step where the DKIM keys are generated[^2]. The output under `config/opendkim/keys/domain.tld/mail.txt` isn't exactly CloudFlare friendly; they can't be directly copy-pasted into a `TXT` record. This is what it looks like. ``` mail._domainkey IN TXT ( "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; " "p=" "" ) ; -- -- DKIM key mail for icyphox.sh ``` But while configuring the record, you set "Type" to `TXT`, "Name" to `mail._domainkey`, and the "Value" to what's inside the parenthesis `( )`, *removing* the quotes `""`. Also remove the part that appears to be a comment `; -- -- ...`. To simplify debugging DNS issues later, it's probably a good idea to point to your mailserver using a subdomain like `mail.domain.tld` using an `A` record. You'll then have to set an `MX` record with the "Name" as `@` (or whatever your DNS provider uses to denote the root domain) and the "Value" to `mail.domain.tld`. And finally, the `PTR` (pointer record, I think), which is the reverse of your `A` record -- "Name" as the server IP and "Value" as `mail.domain.tld`. I learnt this part the hard way, when my outgoing email kept getting rejected by Tutanota's servers. Yet another hurdle -- SSL/TLS certificates. This isn't very properly documented, unless you read through the [wiki](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/Installation-Examples) and look at an example. In short, install `certbot`, have port 80 free, and run ``` shell $ certbot certonly --standalone -d mail.domain.tld ``` Once that's done, edit the `docker-compose.yml` file to mount `/etc/letsencrypt` in the container, something like so: ```yaml ... volumes: - maildata:/var/mail - mailstate:/var/mail-state - ./config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/ - /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt ... ``` With this done, you shouldn't have mail clients complaining about wonky certs for which you'll have to add an exception manually. ## Why would you…? There are a few good reasons for this: ### Privacy No really, this is *the* best choice for truly private email. Not ProtonMail, not Tutanota. Sure, they claim so and I don't dispute it. Quoting Drew Devault[^3], > Truly secure systems do not require you to trust the service provider. But you have to *trust* ProtonMail. They run open source software, but how can you really be sure that it isn't a backdoored version of it? When you host your own mailserver, you truly own your email without having to rely on any third-party. This isn't an attempt to spread FUD. In the end, it all depends on your threat model™. ### Decentralization Email today is basically run by Google. Gmail has over 1.2 *billion* active users. That's obscene. Email was designed to be decentralized but big corps swooped in and made it a product. They now control your data, and it isn't unknown that Google reads your mail. This again loops back to my previous point, privacy. Decentralization guarantees privacy. When you control your mail, you subsequently control who reads it. ### Personalization Can't ignore this one. It's cool to have a custom email address to flex. `x@icyphox.sh` vs `gabe.newell4321@gmail.com` Pfft, this is no competition.

Opinion | Ilhan Omar, Harbinger of Democratic Decline?
With political power comes rhetorical responsibility. Opinion Columnist Spot the problem with the quoted remarks: (1) The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 was “something some people did.” (2) Last month’s attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, was “something someone did.” (3) The 2015 massacre at a black church in Charleston, S.C., was “something someone did.” Now imagine that a public figure with a history of making racially inflammatory remarks — someone like Representative Steve King of Iowa or, better yet, President Trump — had said any of this. (Neither of them did.) Would you not be appalled? Of course you would. You’d be insulted by the evasiveness of the something and someone. You’d be revolted that a right-wing politician would fail to speak forcefully against the bigotries too often found among his followers and fellow travelers. You’d be disgusted by the deliberate attempt to conceal the scale of the horror, the identity of the perpetrators, and the racist ideology that motivated them. And you’d make no allowances for the possibility that the politician in question might have merely misspoken, especially if he failed to apologize, clarify or correct himself. With political power comes rhetorical responsibility. So it is that one should think about the furor — and counter-furor — over the Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar’s claim, in a speech last month in California, that the Council on American-Islamic Relations “was founded after 9/11, because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.” The bulk of Omar’s speech was devoted to preaching political empowerment for American Muslims and denouncing Islamophobia. That’s fine as far as it goes. But contrary to claims by some of her apologists, the remark is not taken out of context, it is not contradicted by anything else she says in the speech, and it is not marred merely because it is factually mistaken. (CAIR was founded seven years before 9/11.) Nor is the problem a matter of inapt phrasing: Omar is a confident public speaker with a precise command of language and a knack for turning a phrase. The problem is that the remark is foul, in exactly the same way that the hypothetical remarks listed above are foul. I live in lower Manhattan, near the 9/11 memorial and museum. No decent person can look at the portraits of the 2,983 victims of Islamist terrorists and say, by-the-by, that this was “something” that “some people did.” The problem is also that the remarks didn’t come from just anyone. Just as Trump has repeatedly made his ethnic prejudices plain, so has Omar. She has demonized Israel, and American supporters of Israel, in terms that are unmistakably anti-Semitic. She has been reproached by fellow Democrats, claimed ignorance by way of apology, and then slurred Jews again — without apology. And despite claiming to be a champion of human rights, she has been oddly selective about the human-rights issues that elicit her outrage. Now Omar’s defenders are keen to paint her as a victim of Islamophobia, which no doubt she is. In this case, however, a victim of bigotry is also a major and unflinching bigot in her own right. That the president has chosen to target Omar may smack of rank hypocrisy, but it would be political malpractice for him not to pick the fight. Her views as a public figure, and what they signify for the party she represents, are fair game. All the more so as progressives rush to her defense. Omar is not a significant figure in her own right. And the House of Representatives has never lacked for cranks, knaves, fools and bigots. What is significant is that Omar’s defenders don’t consider her prejudices about Jews as particularly disqualifying, morally or politically, at least not when weighed against the things they like about her (and hate about her enemies). As for her views about Israel, she’s practically mainstream for her segment of the Democratic Party — a harbinger of what’s to come as the old guard of pro-Israel liberals like Majority Leader Steny Hoyer gives way to the anti-Israel wokesters typified by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. What is all this reminiscent of? Oh, right: the early days of Trump, when millions of Republican primary voters heard the candidate denounce Mexicans as drug dealers, criminals and rapists, and said to themselves, “We like that.” The central lesson of the moral collapse that followed for the G.O.P. isn’t that conservatives are a uniquely perfidious bunch. It’s that partisans of any stripe are always susceptible to demagoguery, particularly when the demagogue refuses to back down in the face of outrage. Shamelessness has a way of inspiring a following, and Omar is in the process of cornering the market on the left. Still, let’s not be entirely negative about the congresswoman. Toward the end of her speech, she said it was vital “to make sure that we are not only holding people that we don’t like accountable: We must also hold those that we love, have shared values with, accountable.” Those words, at least, are wise. The best thing Democrats could do now is apply them to Omar herself. The Times is committed to publishing a diversity of letters to the editor.

Transponder Keys
Transponder keys have become a component of every single car key for every single car on the market, without exception. The way a transponder key works is that it emits a radio signal at a specific, unique frequency that is picked up by your car’s software components. The car’s software needs to detect both the presence of the physical key and the presence of the transponder key programming to unlock the car – this prevents people from being able to steal your car by just copying your physical car key.
However, the fact that your car needs to detect the correct radio frequency from the transponder key before the engine will turn on also creates several issues. The most obvious of these is that, if you lose your car key or need additional car keys, you won’t be able just to get a copy made at a local locksmith. Instead, you will need to go to an approved dealer to get a new key with the correct transponder chip. Car companies restrict transponder cloning technology to dealerships for several reasons: not only does it prevent this technology from being stolen or used by unscrupulous locksmiths for criminal purposes, but it also allows dealers to charge exorbitant fees for creating cloned transponder keys.
The whole transponder key idea feels like a racket at times – for one thing, how often do people steal cars by copying the physical keys? If a thief can take your physical key for long enough to copy it, he would probably just use it to steal your car right then and there. Not only that but a thief who steals your actual, physical transponder key would still be able to steal your car with it just the same! The only way to get around this would be to implant the transponder in your body, but society hasn’t reached that point, at least not yet.
Not only that but the transponder keys themselves can break, which can prevent you from accessing your car and leave you stuck in a remote location. This happened to my poor old mother – her transponder key stopped working when she was two hours away from home on a trip, and her car simply wouldn’t start. Nothing wrong with her car at all – all that happened was that she had dropped the key in a puddle, and the transponder electronics had gotten fried! That could never have happened with an old-fashioned key.
So how do you get around the transponder key issue if you don’t want to pay through the nose for a new transponder key from a dealership? There are several ways. One of these is so simple that it is almost hard to believe – you just duct tape one of your actual car keys under the steering wheel of your car, and then get physical copies of the key made. The reason this works is that the transponder doesn’t need to be attached to the same key that you insert into the ignition – the transponder on your actual key will still work for that purpose as long as the transponder key is nearby. So you can just duct tape it there and forget about it – no more giving money to the dealership cartel for problems they created. It might even be a good idea to duct tape your spare key there as soon as you get a new car, so that you’ll never be without a valid transponder. Then, you can get as many key copies made as you feel you need, for a fraction of the cost of a dealership.

R Question
how to ignore list of attributes using the command line while clustering in weka?
I am running a series of clustering analyses in weka and I have realized that automatizing it is the way to go if I want to get somewhere. I'll explain a bit how I am working.
• I do all the pre-processing manually in R and save it as a csv file, importing it in weka and saving it again as an arff file.
• I use weka's GUI, and in general I just open my data with in the arff file and go directly to the clustering tab and play around. (My experience using the CLI is limited).
I am trying to reproduce some results I've got by using the GUI, but now with commands in the CLI. The problem is that I usually ignore a list of attributes when clustering using the GUI. I cannot find a way of selecting a list of attributes to be ignored in the command line.
For example:
java weka.clusterers.XMeans \
-I 10 -M 1000 -J 1000 \
-L 2 -H 9 -B 1.0 -C 0.25 \
-D "weka.core.MinkowskiDistance -R first-last" -S 10 \
-t "/home/pedrosaurio/bigtable.arff"
My experience with weka is limited so I don't know if I am missing some basic understanding of how it works.
Answer
Data Preprocessing functions are called filters. You need to use filters together with cluster algorithm. See below example.
java weka.clusterers.FilteredClusterer \
-F weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.Remove -V -R 1,5 \
-W weka.clusterers.XMeans -I 10 -M 1000 -J 1000 -L 2 -H 9 -B 1.0 -C 0.25 \
-D "weka.core.MinkowskiDistance -R first-last" -S 10 \
-t "/home/pedrosaurio/bigtable.arff"
Here we remove attributes 1-5 then use xmeans. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
William Henry Ellis (politician)
William Henry Ellis (1819 – March 28, 1858) was an English-born politician in Newfoundland. He represented Fogo in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly from 1855 to 1858.
He was born on the Isle of Wight and came to Newfoundland around 1838. He was a member of a committee formed to protest a Fishery Convention between England and France in January 1857 granting the French fishing rights on the south and west portions of Newfoundland; the treaty was dropped by Britain in May of the same year. Ellis died in office in 1858. | WIKI |

In addition to installing light-emitting diode street lights, many local authorities are also dimming street lights. This might benefit light-averse bat species by creating dark refuges for these bats to forage and commute in human-dominated habitats. We conducted a field experiment to determine how light intensity affects the activity of the light-opportunistic Pipistrellus pipistrellus and light-averse bats in the genus Myotis. We used four lighting levels controlled under a central management system at existing street lights in a suburban environment (0, 25, 50 and 100\% of the original output). Higher light intensities (50 and 100\% of original output) increased the activity of light-opportunistic species but reduced the activity of light-averse bats. Compared to the unlit treatment, the 25\% lighting level did not significantly affect either P. pipistrellus or Myotis spp. Our results suggest that it is possible to achieve a light intensity that provides both economic and ecological benefits by providing sufficient light for human requirements while not deterring light-averse bats.}, URL = {http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/5/6/180205}, eprint = {http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/5/6/180205.full.pdf}, journal = {Open Science} } | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

brethren to the new King, who saw with pleasure that it was possible to grant indulgence to these quiet sectaries and to the Roman Catholics, without showing similar favour to other classes which were then under persecution. A list was framed of prisoners against whom proceedings had been instituted for not taking the oaths, or for not going to church, and of whose loyalty certificates had been produced to the government. These persons were discharged, and orders were given that no similar proceeding should be instituted till the royal pleasure should be further signified. In this way about fifteen hundred Quakers, and a still greater number of Roman Catholics, regained their liberty.
And now the time had arrived when the English Parliament was to meet. The members of the House of Commons who had repaired to the capital were so numerous that there was much doubt whether their chamber, as it was then fitted up, would afford sufficient accommodation for them. They employed the days which immediately preceded the opening of the session in talking over public affairs with each other and with the agents of the government. A great meeting of the loyal party was held at the Fountain Tavern in the Strand; and Roger Lestrange, who had recently been knighted by the King, and returned to Parliament by the city of Winchester, took a leading part in their consultations.
It soon appeared that a large portion of the Commons had views which did not altogether agree with those of the Court.

Default CSS Bug in IE/Opera...fine in FF/Chrome
Here’s the site in question: Krian Music Group
As stated in the title, the problem only occurs in IE or Opera when you hit the “next” button for image carousel on the homepage. The bug is that it drops underneath the About box.
I’ve tried debugging it but haven’t come up with any answers yet. Can anyone point me to the offending property?
Thanks.
Hi,
Hmm not quite sure what you want to happen there. Is the sliding box to go on top of the about box?
That would seem a little odd as then you couldn’t use it because it would be hidden. If you want the sliding box to go underneath the about box then you would need to change the transparent png otherwise you will still see it underneath,
Regarding the dropping down then I’m not sure why you have floated the about box and position:absolute should do what you want without interfering with the slider.
#home-left-box {
background: url(http://www.krianmusicgroup.com/Krian/wp-content/themes/e-pro/images/home-left-box-bg.png) repeat top left;
[B] position:absolute;[/B]
margin:0;
width: 275px;
height : 400px;
font-size: 11px;
z-index: 99999;
}
You have more issues in IE6 and 7 though.
There’s some other weird stuff going on in there and some broken code like this that needs fixing:

Thanks a lot for your ideas, I’m going to try them now.
The reality is that I bought this theme for use with this client. Only after purchasing it does the help file mention that there are a whole set of bugs from 6 months ago that have never been repaired.
To add to the damage the developer is one of those that is super helpful until you buy his material. He completely blew off 8 support requests after purchase, no response whatsoever. I was forced to file a paypal claim against him, for that he was around.
Bottom line…the coding in this template is absolutely horrible especially the PHP. The hooks into Wordpress are byzantine and in no way close to the documented way of doing it.
We have a launch in 2 days so I don’t have time to perfect, I just need it to work for now…then later on I’ll fix it up.
What happened with the slider is that he meddled with the original .js so I had to upgrade the script and that’s where a lot of the issues are coming from, the carousel behaves differently now.
We’re not going to support IE6 but if you have any pointers on any IE7 fixes I’d be very appreciative to hear them.
Thanks again!
Worked like a charm…the design of the template is such that the slider runs over the About box.
I wasn’t thrilled with the idea but they liked it.
And once more, thank you :slight_smile:
The previous and next buttons are missing in IE7.
Try something like this:
*+html #prevBtn,
*+html #nextBtn{margin-top:0}
*+html #prevBtn{margin-left:200px;}
I’ve only tested the above with the IE developer tools so will need testing. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The Universe
In speaking here of the Hindu cosmology, it is chiefly our solar system that is to be understood; but it will be clear that similar principles are applicable to any other system, or to a whole universe composed of many systems. No original creation of the universe can be imagined; but there are alternations, partial and complete, of manifestation and withdrawal. At the commencement of a cycle (kalpa) the world is created by the Brahmā aspect of Īshvara; during the cycle it is sustained by Vishnu; and at the end, as Shiva, he destroys it. This cosmic process takes place according to the following time scheme:
A cycle, or Day of Brahmā, a kalpa, the period of the endurance of the solar system, is 12,000 years of the devas, or 4,320,000,000 earth-years. At the beginning of each Day when Brahmā wakes, the "Three Worlds" so often spoken of in the myths, together with the devas, rishis, asuras, men, and creatures, are manifested afresh according to their individual deserts (karma, deeds); only those who in the previous kalpa obtained direct release (nirvāna, moksha), or who passed beyond the Three Worlds to higher planes, no longer reappear. At the close of each Day the Three Worlds, with all their creatures, are again resolved into chaos (pralaya), retaining only a latent germ of necessity of remanifestation. The Night of Brahmā is of equal length with the Day.
The life of our Brahmā or Īshvara is one hundred Brahmā-years, at the end of which time not only the Three Worlds, but all planes and all beings — Īshvara himself, devas, 392 | WIKI |

28 'Tis true the meer Animal Life may go on, he may Breath and Nourish, and be furnished with Perception and Appetite; But to make any proper use of himself, to work his Notions to any Clearness and Consistency; to state Duty and Circumstance, and Practice to Decency and Exactness; to know whether it is time for him to walk out of the World or not, As to these noble Functions of Reason, and Judgment, the Man is perfectly dead already. It concerns us therefore to push forward, and make the most of our matters, for Death is continually advancing; and besides that, our Understanding sometime dies before us, and then the true Purposes and Significancy of Life are at an End.
