Internet Activist Group Seeks Justice for Swartz
Web community may have found next SOPA moment
Demand Progress, the Internet advocacy group Swartz co-founded to stop SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), is rallying its followers to support "Aaron's Law," a bill that Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) plans to introduce that would amend, by decriminalizing, certain violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. If convicted, the Internet activist could have faced up to 35 years in prison and a fine of $1 million.
The group is also supporting Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who is opening an investigation into possible prosecutorial abuse in the case against Swartz, and urging other lawmakers to expand the inquiry into the "overprosecution of victimless alleged crime."
"We're asking [lawmakers] to help rein in a criminal justice system run amok," Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig, who had represented Swartz, wrote in an open letter on Demand Progress' website.
Attorney Carmen Ortiz, the prosecutor in Swartz's case who has taken a beating in the press, defended the actions of her office late Wednesday as "appropriate."
Ortiz said it was highly unlikely that Swartz would have faced the maximum penalty. "The prosecutors recognized that there was no evidence against Mr. Swartz indicating that he committed his acts for personal financial gain, and they recognized that his conduct—while a violation of the law—did not warrant the severe punishments authorized by Congress and called for by the sentencing guidelines in appropriate cases," Ortiz said. "That is why in the discussions with his counsel about a resolution of the case, this office sought an appropriate sentence that matched the alleged conduct—a sentence that we would recommend to the judge of six months in a low security setting. While at the same time, his defense counsel would have been free to recommend a sentence of probation."

On the minus side, purchases will cost more.
What are the pros & cons as you see them?

Some states, e.g. Colorado have a crazy quilt of tax rates because many special districts are funded by some percentage of sales tax over and above what the state, county and/or city charge. You sometimes literally need zip-code granularity to look up a sales tax rate. Fortunately we have computers to solve this problem that computerized shopping caused. :P
It's the same thing here. State sales tax, county and city sales taxes as well. The differences are tiny from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but they have legal ramifications.
Ditto. Our sales taxes here in Georgia are so messed up from county to county.
The voters keep voting to add 1 percent to pay for special projects. Doesn't sound like much til you realize that we are up to 8% and will surely go to 9 eventually.
I was shopping for a guitar recently, and almost all of the guitars were for sale be people with online stores you could visit, and they were obviously maintaining inventories. If people selling guitars are any indication of what it's come to all over eBay, then relatively few just plain ole folks are there. I suspect those people tend to use Craiglist.
Pro- revenues for local governments and an incentive to shop IRL.
Con- less purchasing power. S&H is enough to bother with to begin with, so I usually try to find products locally.
Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but in response to Amazon many online merchants offer free shipping on just about anything with a very low threshold. On Amazon it's $25 for most items. Often, if your order comes to $23.95, for example, it's worth your while to find another item costing a couple bucks and then, voila!, free shipping.
While I understand why the online businesses will fight it tooth and nail, the moving of so much commerce to the Internet has had very damaging effects in terms of lost jobs and receding funds for local benefits such as public schools, well-maintained roads, money for policemen and firemen, etc.
Oregon: zero sales tax. So I'm indifferent.
I lived in Oregon till 2 years ago. No sales tax was nice. They DO have income tax, though, so there's no escaping taxation (legally, anyway, and unless you are General Electric). There are a total of five states without a sales tax:
I think you mean 'taxation is coming to the internet in the US'. Here in the UK, as in all countries in the EU I believe, but don't quote me on that, we have sales tax, or Value Added Tax (VAT) on everything we buy from the internet anyway.
In the UK VAT is currently 20%, with a few exceptional tax exempt items (e.g. books, but only paper copy, we pay VAT on eBooks.)
Much as I dislike the idea of paying tax on Internet purchases, cities all over the country are having a hard time keeping their school systems going. They've been hurt by the migration of business to the tax-free Internet as well as the lost tax revenue from businesses sent down the tubes by Internet businesses with which they can't compete.
Taxes are just theft by another word.
Power corrupts. :(
That's an attitude, not a fact.

Re: [xsl] Unexpected Context Node at Points in XPath Expression
Subject: Re: [xsl] Unexpected Context Node at Points in XPath Expression
From: Abel Braaksma <>
Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2007 01:07:57 +0200
I find it very worrying that either of your expressions select anything. I tried the page you mentioned and tried to visually follow your path, but couldn't find any match. Then I thought that maybe the tool was smarter than I, so I downloaded/installed it. Tried your queries again: nothing.
Next I cut n pasted the source HTML so I could process it normally without the fuzz and noise of other tools (not knowing what they do, where they rely on, etc). I quickly found that:
1. There is no <h2> element anywhere that document
2. There is a <h3> element, but that does not have any siblings of type <ul>
3. In the expression you don't select <ul>, but any elements
4. I tried to understand your English description of what you are trying to achieve, but there are no <ul> elements that are siblings to <h3>
But you say "following". So maybe I misunderstood. In your code you use following-sibling with some counting back and forth. Not along the following::* axis (there are much deeper nested <ul> elements).
Your question was about the difference in your XPaths. You use the id() function (note that it only works when there is actually a DOCTYPE present that declares an attribute as type ID; often this is not the case, so in practice I don't see id() used that often), which selects all elements (like the DOM getElementsById()) with the selected ID. This means that in your second expression you are basically searching from the root (bodyContent) on each step. In your first, you are using the child axis to start from.
Because I can't see a document that possibly matches your XPath expression, I can't see where it goes wrong.
Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

Unexpected to me, at least.
I've been familiarizing myself with XPath for a project by browsing
around the Internet with the Firefox extension XPath Checker.
On this page:
... I tried the following:
- count(preceding-sibling::*)]
... which I expected to select the 7 ul elements following the
specified h2. The next query DOES do that:
- count(id('bodyContent')/h2[1]/preceding-sibling::*)]
The stuff I had to add in I had expected was already present as the
context node. Why was I wrong?

The Conversation
Arianna Huffington Says Slowing Down Is Key to Success
Huffington strives to answer that question and gives research-backed advice on how to refocus on the right things, in the right way, inThrive. After looking around the room last night at the incredible circle of people Huffington has surrounded herself with, it was hard not feel like we really should take her wisdom to heart. In addition to hosts White, Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC's Morning Joe, and *Glamour *editor-in-chief Cindi Leive, attendees included some of the most high-profile people in media, fashion, and entertainment. At one point, it occurred to me that I was within arm's length of Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, and Tina Brown—and that's just to name a few Huffington pals. (Oh, hello, Harvey Weinstein. How are you, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, and Vera Wang?) The busy A-listers were there to celebrate Huffington's message, which can be boiled down to this: It's OK to sleep more and stress less. It's OK to turn off your phone, go for a walk, to recharge. It's OK—more than OK—to be driven by giving back and doing good. In fact, you'll be all the better for it.
Clockwise from top left: Cynthia McFadden, Huffington, Brzezinski, and Hoda Kotb; Vera Wang and Calvin Klein; Barry Diller, Weinstein, Rattner; Huffington with her daughter, Isabella
Guests took home copies of Thrive, which were on display at the event.
"I love Arianna's message because I think it gives us as women permission to relax a little bit," said Leive, who went on a "digital detox" with Huffington and Brzezinski in January and, a few years ago, took on a challenge to get more sleep. "There's a lot of pressure out there on women to have the perfect relationship, perfect body, and lean in to the perfect job...her book is a reminder of the simple fact that it's also important to be relaxed and happy. And that by the way, the crazy round-the-clock hours didn't work all that well for most men (who spent generations never seeing their children) and that as women, maybe we can find another, more humane way. And I say that as a workaholic!"
Katie Couric, John Molner, and Barbara Walters
When I asked Barbara Walters if she wishes this advice had been available to women 20 years ago and if women would have been open to it, she had this to say: "I have known Arianna since she first moved to the U.S. I was a bridesmaid at her wedding. She's always had wisdom. She's always been wise for her age. Her views on what it is to be successful—yes, they're something a lot of women would have listened to years ago." I guess better late than never, right?
Diane Sawyer and Arianna Huffington
Speaking about the message behind Thrive and why it matters so much now, Diane Sawyer said, "We all still believe in the simple idea that if we can change our day, we can change our lives. [Huffington] puts the joy back in, and that's everything."
One of the highlights from the evening was when the hosts toasted Huffington, each sharing what he or she learned from her. Brzezinski said Huffington taught her that you can still be a good friend, no matter where your career takes you. "I call [Huffington] a lot, and she picks up on the first ring and says, 'I'm in Rio. Baby, what is it?'" said Brzezinki, who had the room laughing with her impression of Huffington. "[She taught me] it's possible to be an incredible success in business and still be a friend before anything."
Huffington hopes her message resonates, especially with women. "We don't have to pretend we are superwomen," she said, noting that it's OK to be vulnerable. So what would she have told herself, had she known this wisdom all along? "I would have told myself that actually taking care of yourself is a performance-enhancing drug," Huffington told me. "When you have less stress, less worry, and less anxiety, you have more control over your health and your relationships."
I couldn't help but notice how the apartment may have been grand, but the mood was light. Other than the quick tweet or group photo, people weren't on their phones—they were enjoying the moment. "Women do everything, and our multitasking brains are on overdrive," said Brzezinski. "I've spent the past 10 years being gutted. It's time to stop and enjoy."
If Arianna Huffington and other moguls can tune out the stress, maybe there's hope for the rest of us! How do you recharge when you need to?

Two people were arrested after climbing a huge crane on a building site near where Slam Dunk Festival was taking place.
Police were called to the site at Portland Crescent at around 4.30pm on Saturday, May 26 as the Slam Dunk rock event was going on nearby.
Firefighters were also called to the scene with the pair deciding to come down at around 5pm.
They were arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance.
The site on the junction of Portland Crescent and Woodhouse Lane was due to be the Hilton Arena hotel but the plug was pulled on the project several years ago.
There are new plans which could potentially see it become student accomodation.

Serverless Authentication
Can you point me in the direction of a simple, serverless, authentication front end for a Phone Gap app?
Thank you,
I think you need to tell us more.
APP authentication for iOS and Android Phone Gap, that does not require an internet connection.
Tell us more - what do you mean by APP authentication?
A potential user of the app is not able to use it unless a fingerprint, password, code, or something else is provided and verified by the app or the device. This will require obtaining, managing, and resetting functionality to be present. Basically, like an iOS app that requires a password, to run, and also may allow a fingerprint to be used. Again, all without the internet.
Start here:
And here:
Thank you!!

How to Master Your Thoughts?
How do you talk to YOU?
The answer explains much about what we experience in our days. Even more than that...I believe our answers serve as a very real crystal ball in forecasting futures.
How we talk to ourselves cracks open the doors of possibility.
It's OUR Time
It's OUR time...not to stay seated...but to get up and create and build and dance and travel and participate.
Think Positive!
The quality of our day is determined by what we think... which determines how we feel...which determines what type of actions we take in living the day.
Behind the Steering Wheel
We can't control everything that happens to us in life. Life happens, and there will be surprises. But we can control how we deal with events that touch our world. And often, it is how we deal with those events and circumstances that give us the sort of control that gets us out of the back seat of our own life car and once again behind the steering wheel.
Create a GREAT Day!
Look at the start of a new day with optimism and positive anticipation. Know that no matter what happened yesterday, today will be much better. Handle setbacks as challenges that can be overcome. Point up and never down.
Do Your Best!
The clock moves. The calendar turns. The body ages. We can't stop the inevitable. But for every breath we are fortunate to receive, we can do our best to make sure it's a good one.
Health is Wealth
Health is king. Without it...success, wealth, love, fame, creativity, travel, service, friends...none can be enjoyed as fully.
Your Greatest Find
Sure, failures stink and can feel insurmountable in the moment. But what looks like an earth-crashing loss can readily turn into the greatest find of our lives.
Personal Transformation
It's impossible to reinvent yourself over night. Massive change just doesn't happen that way. But transformation WILL happen when we take small steps towards change daily. Single steps daily add up to big changes eventually.
Make Your Life Count

For years Texans grumbled about standardized tests in public schools, and it had about as much effect as complaining about the weather. Not anymore.
When a divided Texas House of Representatives votes 145-2 on a bill that would bring sweeping changes to high school graduation requirements, you know that something is happening in this session.
The action now shifts to the Senate on a bill that emphasizes "workforce development" and gives students more options in career or technical training instead of just college preparation. The number of standardized tests students would have to pass also decreases from 15 to five.
That flexibility makes sense, but lawmakers must be careful not to ease graduation requirements too much. Even people in blue-collar careers will have to know some math or science and be able to think critically.
Their high school courses must still challenge them and make them ready for that future.

What is the best way to take indoor Volleyball Pictures?
Discussion in 'Sports' started by george_cotto, Jan 27, 2011.
1. What is the best way to take indoor volleyball pictures. I have a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L (non-is). Can't use flash for the volleyball games. Do I use the auto setting, sports setting or manual? Do I change auto white balance setting?
Also, should I get a light meter and walk on the area of the court where the players are to determine the iso, shutter and aperature and then set it manual and walk back to the bleachers for the shot. I understand that the first thing about sports photos is to get physically as close as possilbe to the action.
In addition, which focus set up should I use? Sometimes the pictures are not clear where I aimed but other objects that I did not intend to focus on are clear.
I have polarizer. I heard that the polarizer will reduce the fstop by 2. Do I take it off? Also should I use the lense hood?
Thank you.
2. I shot a Volleyball game last night,No need to use a polarizer. I shot it with a Sony A700 & 70-200 Sigma 2.8 HSM.Shoot RAW, set a custom white balance then tweak in post processing. I shot in Aperture priority shooting at F/2.8 iso 4000 that gave me a shutter speed From 1/250-1/350, also continuous focus, with center spot. I shoot from the bleachers and on the floor. You will get a lot of out of focus shots thats normal but keep practicing.Remember No ball no face no shot.
3. Welcome to photonet George. we hope to give you advice. but it does help if you do not double post your requests. warm regards miken
4. Thank you Phil. Very Helpful. Will post my results after the next tournament.
5. Hi George - I shoot High School sports and volleyball, here are my recommendations (not in any particular order)
1. Don't use the polarizer (yes you may lose a stop or so) - better for outdoors on a bright day/water scenes
2. Yes do use the lens hood - prevents reflections/lens flare (and protects lens)
3. You will need to use a high ISO (800 or 1600) so you can get the shutter speed high enough to stop action (at least 1/250 or higher)
4. Do a custom white balance - check manual on how to do this, but basically shoot a white object (or piece of paper) with lens set to manual focus, fill the frame with it and take a photo- then set WB to Custom and select that photo as the target WB photo - this will make your colors more consistent in sometimes funky gym lighting - best to do this on the court if they let you......or you can use a players white jersey (again fill the frame) as a target
5. Shoot RAW - gives you more latitude to adjust after - and if you use Lightroom 3 you can process one file and apply to all the others making global adjustments faster
6. You will get varying opinions on TV (shutter priority) vs AV (Aperture) or Manual - either can work, but manual is best for consistent results - set your ISO, then go to TV and see what the highest shutter speed is you can get - over 250th or higher. Then note the Aperture and go into manual mode and use those settings - that will give you consistent results - you will probably be at f2.8/f4.0 but that will give you the highest complimentary shutter speed
7. Use the Center focus point and AI Servo mode - to track moving objects
8. Use high speed AF drive mode so you can capture bursts to get more keepers
9 Get up high in the stands - this way you can get shots from both ends of the court at once - opposite the Referee so the chair isn't blocking the net action (if possible)
10. Move around if they let you, get some shots from behind the court focusing on the action at net and servers - try laying down and shooting UP too for some different perspectives
11. A monopod may help as well steady the camera if you are in a stationary position
12. And last, get there early during practice to test your settings and enjoy!
6. Excellent. Thank you Mark.
7. I'll greatly disagree on the #11.. use of a monopod .. for volleyball there's way too much movement up and down for it to be of much use unless you're going to be standing around a long time between matches, then you can mount the camera after to carry it around.
Crop pretty tight on volleyball also.. eliminating worthless background stuff, especially if you're at a tournament with split gyms and people everywhere.
Probably a bad example given the Xcel center's lighting for the state tourney but:
An ISO 2500 F2.8 1/800 shot (lucky to get eyes framed in the net, by accident)

What MS wrote.
There's a place for both tight and wide court shots.
A monopod is not mandatory - but may assist. I take mine I don’t always use it. (for diving and gymnastics - up and down movement - I often use a ball head and not super tight.)
I'd to Mark's list add:
1. In the first instance concentrate on getting the main subject in the centre of the frame and using a CONTRAST edge for the AF to follow. Like the edge of the white number on a dark singlet for example.
2. DO NOT underexpose.
3. Do NOT be afraid to use ISO3200.
4. F/3.2 or F/3.5 with that lens for that action (beginning/learning) is better than F/2.8 - so I suggest you sacrifice ISO to make that F/3.5 aperture (if the Shutter speed is available)
5. I would want you (learning) to use 1/500s if possible - 1/320s minimum.
6. I am ambivalent about machine gun fire - I shoot maybe a burst of three only and only sometimes.
Notice how Mark’s sample image captures the two girls at the point of least movement (top of the jump) - hence leveraging the slow shutter speed of 1/250s.
Personally I would rather time the shot and pull one shot only: but let's not be bloody mined about it - digital is cheap - a lot cheaper than film - and if you've got several frames per second available you might as well use it - but perhaps still think about a short burst and a meaningful short burst.
But hey – it is aslo a good discipline to know how to pull one shot only.
9. you can setcamera on manual. The light intensity is steady, ie not changing. Set ISO probably at 1600 or 2000, aperture f2.8. Hopefully shtter spd will be min f 1/320! 1/400 obviously better. Go higher on the ISO if not getting decent exposure. You'll get slightly less noise with higher ISO and a resulting good exposure than a lower ISO and a dark exposure result.
I usually use an 85 1.8 lens and shoot at f2.2 The 70-200 is hard to swing back and forth trying to follow the action, esp. from the side lines. Better to be at one end of the court and wait for action at the net.
No need for polarizer, which is generally for daytime, specialty use. should have a uv filter on most of the time & not a polarizer. use lens hood to keep ceiling lights off the lens. Auto WB, shoot raw.
focusing...every sport takes practice to keep up with the action. You can't get everything. set constant auto focusing ( not sure what that's called on Canons.
check out flickr volleyball groups. There are several good ones and you can usually click and find out what lenses and settings were used.
analyze their compositions. Shoot landscape and portrait! Seems like most of my images are shot in portrait position. Again, go to Flickr and do some research. The beach volleyball is 'interesting' to look at, but you need to look at the hgh school, club and college shooters.
10. shoot tri-x pushed to 1800 asa in the darkroom oh wait it isn't 1971 anymore!
All good comments except for one missing one. Learn volleyball so you can anticipate where the action is going to be.
I like center point focus rather than servo mode.
If you are allowed get a smaller fast lenses (35mm to 50mm) and shoot up from the floor around the referees stand.
Shoot at 250 to get blurs on arms and balls and 500 and above for sharp stop action.
May get some disagreement on this but go ahead and shoot at a high ISO then post process with dfine plug-in from Nik Software. I have even taken old pushed tri-x shoots with huge grain and gotten great results.

11. Ai Servo and Center Point are two different things.. one's the motor and one's the spot you're telling the lens to focus
12. I have shot professional (not high-school and not college) volleyball on a number of occasions and I would add this to what some of the previous posters have said already:
1. Shoot manual. Set a speed of at least 1/320 (for women's volleyball) and at least 1/500 for men's volleyball. The average time between a ball being received, set and spiked in a men's match is usually less than 1 1/2 secs (with the spike often being completed in less than 1/10th of a second and the ball travelling in excess of 50mph, so 1/200 will simply not be enough.
2. Depending on lighting conditions, I would add about -1/3 exposure compensation (more if you're shooting in a well lit stadium) to retain some of the contrast the overhead lights will rob from you.
3. I concur that you should not shoot at f/2.8, as at 200mm it is not the sharpest possible. Shoot at 3.5 at 200mm.
4. Depending on how adept you are at tracking the players and predicting plays (which is easier the more familiar you are with the game - I used to be a semi-professional player in my university years, so it kinda comes naturally to me), you might want to experiment with your Continuous Servo autofocus, ASSUMING your camera can handle it (I'm not familiar with the Canon, but my Nikon D200 could not keep up most of the time, while the D700/D3 is more than fine!)
5. Placement, placement, placement. Try and avoid standing on the floor. Try and get some kind of elevation, preferably somewhere at the height of the referee. Also, the best shots are shot from inside a couple of meters on either side of the net - no more - and from the two ends of the terrain (even though that would, most likely, require a longer than 200mm lens)
6. Whoever it was who said (I think it was in your other post): "no ball, no face, no shot" was a genius! Keep that in mind and you'll be okay...
13. George, you've got $2K worth of gear there, buddy. Set it to Auto and let it rip. Seems to works for the Coach-carrying soccer moms in my neighborhood.
Alternatively, you could take a bunch of shots, do a little reading and see where things head.
14. I am just starting with a D90 and Sigma 18-200 so by no means do I have much to add, however, if the light is bad (which it has been at all of the events so far) I just go to B&W in post editing.
I shoot mostly in shutter priority 1/500, iso 2500 to 3200. Because I can get close, I am at 18mm to 100mm for most of my shots. If I shoot in aperture priority I get better exposure but the ball and arm motion won't freeze.
Next weekend I am renting a Sigma 50-150 F2.8 and 17-50 f2.8 so hopefully I'll be able to shoot in color. Great way to see exactly what you wnat/like before dropping the bucks.
15. a few more
16. last one, another OH hit
17. very good...thanks for sharing tje knowledge...

chemical properties of chlorine
chlorine reaction with aqueous halides
chlorine可以react with aqueous halideds ( eg. iodide , bromide )
eg. Cl2 + 2Br ----> 2Cl + Br2
Cl2 + 2I ------> 2Cl + I 2 ( I is iodide )
點解無一條式係react with fluorine , 佢都係 halideds

Favorite Answer
Your chemical equation is a bit wrong, it should be as follows:
Cl2 + 2Br- ---> 2Cl- + Br2
Cl2 + 2I- ---> 2Cl- + I2
Cl2 in above chemical equations acts as an oxidizing agent, it oxidizes bromide and iodide ions, becoming bromine and iodine gas respectively.
Cl2 cannot oxidize the fluoride ions, as it is not strong enough to oxidize it to fluorine gas.
Instead, the chloride ions will react with the fluorine gas, the chlorine gas and fluoride ions will be produced.
In additon, for your information, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine are known ad halides (NOT halideds)

Help us get to over 4,000 biographies in 2017.
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
Jump to: navigation, search
Shadowgraphy (or Ombromanie) is the art of using hands to form figures onto a screen using shadows. It can be traced back to 18th Century, although the idea is probably much older. Shadow puppets of Indonesia were being performed around 850 AD and in China during the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907).
The art was introduced to Europe by travelers returning back from China, who had seen the Chinese puppet theater shows. The first "ombres chinoises" were presented in Paris in 1776 by Dominique Séraphin, but this was using two-dimensional cut-out "puppets" made from various materials.
In modern times, the art of "ombromanie" (using only the hands as a medium to create the shadow) was made popular by Felicien Trewey. At the age of fifteen Trewey ran away from home to become a magician and tight rope walker. Trewey popularized the art by making silhouettes of famous personalities with his hands. In 1889, he joined Alexander Herrmann.
Magicians performing shadowgraphy
Around the same time as Trewey, David Devant and Edward Victor were also performing Shadowgraphy in their acts.
It would appear that Alexander Herrmann learned Shadowgraphy from watching the performances of Trewey.
David Tobias Bamberg most likely learned it from Alexander who passed this down to his son Okito. Okito passed it down to his son Fu Manchu. "Okito" toured with the Thurston show as a shadowgrapher for many years. "Fu Manchu" likewise featured shadowgraphy in his act for many years. Once he settled down in Buenos Aires and retired, Fu Manchu taught the act to Marcelo Contento, with whom it died.
Max Holden featured Shadowgraphy in his performances, with his assistant wife, as the duo "Holden and Graham". Holden was famous for his shadow "Monkey in the Bellfry".

Hashemi is no longer we have only two options only two either Iraq and al-Maliki either
On: Wednesday 30/5/2012 1:12
Baghdad / WAP / Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, said: "we have no longer the only two options are either to Aiii Iraq and Nouri al-Maliki either."
He called in a statement received by the agency reported Baghdad International / WAP / copy of it on Wednesday "to make a choice, and to consolidate in this historical moment as much as the conviction that Iraq can not be reduced depends on the person or whoever he is."
He said: "We have a long wait for Iraqis to change and hope in God great and then leaders of the five and national figures who are eager to them the hearts of Iraqis and is looking forward to them a low profile in support of the Iraq-Aziz, and it is hoped that joining them the rest of the leaders of the National Alliance and put an end to the frequency which is not unjustified."
He added: "The country needs them and to their efforts and must take urgent, Nuri al-Maliki has given us the opportunity not we give to one before, and failed, and that was enough."
He continued: "I say with the utmost frankness and clarity, and I repeat Tomb brother Massoud Barzani, president of the region that the survival of this government and enduring loss of Iraq, and after that Maliki's refusal to respect its obligations after a grant opportunity for review is no longer we have only two options for Aiii them either Iraq and either Nuri al-Maliki, and leaders to choose, and to consolidate in this historical moment as much as the conviction that Iraq can not be reduced depends on the person or whoever he is. "
He expressed confidence in "The leaders no matter how important considerations and pressures will not choose to have proliferated only Iraq, and in this success and claimed their payments."
He announced Hashemi he would return to Iraq, and said: "I will return to you soon to share with worry and grief and share your correction put deranged, and I know Bahwalkm, and I know what that does to you and addressing you the book of God and tell you and Athnoa and Athznoa and you also incline if you are believers."
He added: "My heart wrenching pain and heartbreak for all it is Iraq under the current government policy, have fallen mulberry paper and pant disadvantages of the system oppressive and unfairly and arbitrarily after seeing the world and the nature of the corresponding sad and painful to the conditions of detention suffered by the accused Iraqi and watched by everyone from the screens satellite channels and the related issue of the Baghdad Provincial Council member Laith al-Dulaimi, who launched the coup de grace to the judiciary will Saket looted. "
He continued: "This confirms once again lied to the government when she was denied each time the health of international reports on human rights in Iraq on the one hand and the accuracy of the above that Krrnah On several occasions the other hand about the politicization of the judiciary and the absence of justice and the prevalence of torture and fabrication charges and fabricated events, suggesting underestimated human rights and international standards for conditions of detention, but that these practices constitute a blatant challenge and an insult to the Constitution by the Government of President falsely claims that the Constitution takes care of him and he practices security apparatus innocent. "
He believed: "This is the suffering of the thousands of detainees and single out their members to protect me and my staff, and because of this type of torture he spent many of the detainees, including the martyr Amer Batawi and Martyr of Maysan Adnan Plasm, either the cause of death for both of them and according to a novel security services was one ( renal failure). "
And: "If the Prime Minister was unaware of the practices did not authorize it if he must pending Ibraa to distance himself and his security for the judiciary to be free and release the suspects immediately and close all the issues spiteful, including the issue of allergic and individuals protect me for being subjected to the same, but the most revealing practices, inhuman, and instead of chasing the government of innocent people and pursued relentlessly by the GOES to rid the Iraqi people from terrorists, corrupt employees of the security services, who went on in the land of corruption and underestimated the dignity of the Iraqi citizen likes a certain Brigadier Riaz Abdul Amir notorious who was expelled from Syria a few years ago because of behavior immoral and Ali Bahadli known Ptadyate the symptoms of the detainees, are some of the reliable-Maliki in the investigation, torture and stick the charges innocent oversight, these along with some judges Alnfiean corrupt who reneged on their faith and Hnthoa Baksmanm, they will not escape never of justice a long time Umm Qasr, as did not escape from their predecessors, and they had to remember and consider, but they themselves Rtoa and under display transient temptations. "
Hashemi has accused the semi-official al-Iraqiya, loyalty to the owners, said: "We have special guest appearance channel al-Maliki (Iraqi) funded from the public treasury to convey to us that the human al-Maliki ordered the investigation to re-issue of Laith al-Dulaimi." / As he put it /.
He asked, "which is supposed Enbgaan ordered re-investigation, eliminating al-Maliki or where the Chief Justice and his spokesman, either from the word and why this suspicious silence."
He added: "What is the point of re-investigation and the detainee is still in the hands of criminals, then permission to view confessions fabricated Although the law does not allow, and if what happened is a violation of the law if why Aarf prosecution case against Maliki or he has the immunity of Article 93 of the Constitution, which deprived them without justification or excuse, then what was intended to offer false confessions was it intended to ignite sectarian strife that can not live only in its airspace? questions I pose on the Iraqi people for meditation and reflection. "
He continued, "revealed hidden before the eyes of everyone but the question is, will move the judiciary and the prosecution exclusively this time or he will ignore it as discreetly ignore the many crimes for political reasons because of the involvement of affiliated power in it."
He said: "What did the judiciary murder under torture, where he spent the martyr Batawi and martyr Maysan Adnan Plasm, nothing, what he did in the reports submitted by the Parliamentary Committee and confirmed exposure Hamaiati tortured for nothing, ask you heard about that Mrchi great in power made to eliminate, is presented Security officials who facilitated the escape of terrorists from prison in Basra and al-Rusafa prison to justice, the answer is both in the pot a lot and if you wonder no longer. "
He added: "The history is repeating the production of the same but in a way the worst, when he returned the citizen innocent fear of authority on his life and honor and property, and became a power above the Constitution and law, accept it is the citizen is immune, safe comfortable, and get angry it is the supplements and the accused, which is driven by impulses culture sectarian obnoxious on the one hand, and the desire to create crises and ignite sedition and live on the contradictions of the other hand, a Mataba behavior of the current government since 2006, and Elakev interpret and country living a real crisis that is continuing repression and persecution affects specific regions and provinces of specific and deprived the Iraqi citizen has the right to live free and dignified, How do we explain that the Ministry of Justice, the confiscation of houses of God and remove them by force and by force brute depending on the unjust law is controversial proceeded in the absence of consensus, why now after waiting for seven years at a time when everyone is waiting way to deal with a crisis not seen Iraq has ever seen, is required to ignite sectarian strife and coloring crisis sectarian and convert it from a political to the religious? This Maysay Maliki himself, but this time it will not work because the Iraqis have experienced his approach will not succeed, such efforts certainly malicious, because God Almighty does not fit the work of mischief. "
He continued: "The continuation of this situation is not only a major embarrassment for the Iraqis before the international community but also a threat to them threatens their present and future and is therefore the responsibility of everyone in the development of the end of the urgent and favorable opportunity for change and should not to fail this time." /

The Art of Hand Washing Dishes
I am utterly saddened by the number of people who rely on an electric dishwashing appliance to clean their dishes on a daily basis. This trend is causing the art of hand washing to quickly fade and it is in danger of being completely forgotten. Soon to be lost are the nuances that are paramount to the art. In the following paragraphs I will attempt to log these details in hopes that some record of the hand washing art will survive.
I shall begin with the detergent that is required. For without the proper detergent the entire process is diminished to the level of a rank amateur. The proper detergent for hand washing dishes is lye soap. But not just any lye soap will do and it must be manufactured from the proper ingredients. The base ingredients for genuine hand washing lye soap are as follows. Fat rendered from hogs that are more than twelve months, but less than fourteen months of age. These hogs must also have only been fed a mixture of yellow corn mash and egg shells. The fat from these animals will be of the highest quality and essential for making the proper lye soap. The wood ashes for the soap should be obtained by burning only red oak timber that has been air dried for at a minimum of three years. Care must be exercised so that no knots are burnt in the process. For the knots will foul the ash mixture and render the resulting soap all but useless for hand washing. If none of the soap making artisans in your area are capable or willing to meet these requirements, then you must resort to mail order or self-manufacture. Self-manufacturing being far too involved for the scope of this article.
The required cloth for both the washing and the drying of dishes is best obtained from antique pre-WWII flour sacks. These are becoming exceeding rare, but the expense for this cloth is a small price to pay for the art. These cloths are 100% cotton and were made on looms that are no longer in service. It is also speculated that the flour once stored in these sacks imparted a particular quality to the cloth that there is no way of replicating with modern manufacturing techniques.
A scouring brush will prove useful from time to time. As with the other items, the type of brush employed will either elevate or completely destroy the quality of the artistic process. The proper brush can no longer be obtained from any known source and therefore must be fabricated by the artist. The dried roots of a three year old wild dogwood tree are required for the manufacture of this brush. There are several opinions as to the correct number of dried roots that should be bound to create the brush. Generally the number of roots required ranges from one hundred to one hundred twelve. I favor a brush made with exactly one hundred and seven roots that are all of the exact same diameter bound with sisal twine.
This brings me to the water. Two basins will be required. One for the washing and another for the rinsing. The former needs to be brought to exactly 150deg. At this temperature the lye soap is added and allowed to dissolve. The water then must be cooled to, and maintained at, 120deg before any washing can begin. The rinse water is equally important and must be maintained at exactly 170deg. It is important to obtain a minimum of two quality thermometers in order to monitor and adjust the water temperature.
Now that I have listed the proper implements and supplies I will describe the actual hand washing art. Only one item should be in the soap and water mixture at any time. For all pots, pans and circular dishes a clockwise scrubbing motion must be utilized. Many amateurs will use all manner of scrubbing strokes and as such destroy that art form. For utensils the proper stroke is away from your body working from the handle of the utensil to it’s tip. It is also very important that the utensil be completely submerged in the wash water during the entire process.
The items are then fully immersed into the rinse water for exactly 6.5 seconds. Then removed from the water and held above the rinse basin for a further 2 seconds. The item is then immediately dried with the aforementioned cloth. Many an amateur will employ drying racks. Please do not follow this poor example. Endeavor to maintain the artistic process.
I hope that you have found the above information both informative and inspiring. At the very least, I hope that it has encouraged you to abandon the use of the electric dishwashing machine. The art of hand washing dishes is something that is far too valuable to let slip away into the annuls of time and must be preserved. I encourage you to take up this highly rewarding and useful art form so that you too will have clean dishes.
The preceding is complete and utter nonsense and I hope that you recognize it as such. Any similarity to the woodworking world is intentional and meant to provoke thought. While I understand the value in preserving traditional methods, they are not always the be all to end all. I also believe that some woodworking can transcend the common and become art. That being said, creating and making are what I find more important. I approach woodworking with practicality. Using the tools that I have and exploring techniques to find what works for me. As budget or necessity dictate, I’ll further explore tools and materials. Sometimes my tools and methods are in-line with “expert” opinion but, more often than not, they are not. Even so, somehow I still manage to build things from wood.
I’ll bet you can do the same.

sure Greg….. Now the prices of dogwood, flour sacks, hogs, red oak……. Allllll goin up on commercial websites……. Lol.
2. ctregan says:
Around here we debate over “air dry” vs “towel dry”. I am in the air dry camp. More efficient and does not transfer germs like a towel can.
3. I employ what I would call a folk approach to woodworking. I rarely use measuring tools unless you count body parts and tools don’t always find their proper place. I feel embarrassed and a little ashamed when reading articles on good shop habits and technique. Sometimes its hard to remember that there is no “best” way to work wood.
• Greg Merritt says:
Same here. Tools strung all over the bench and shavings ankle deep on the floor. I always seem to work this way no matter how good my intentions are of cleaning up as I go.
4. Spooky! I was having a conversation with another woodworker the other day about power tools and I explained that I likened then to kitchen appliances. Sure you could wash your dishes and do your laundry by hand, as well as barbeque your food every day, but not everyone fancies that.
Just make sure that when you barbeque your food, use coal and not wood, mkay?
Great post!
• Greg Merritt says:
Thanks George! I have read too many dogmatic and condescending posts/comments this week and had to poke a little fun at them. The term “art” seems be employed as justification for the their stances. Find what works for and go for it.
Coal? There is a mine less than an hour away. I’ll have to keep that in mind. 😉
5. DC says:
Had me going for a minute, there. In my house a dishwasher is a requirement, not an option, not a luxury, not even a question…. Lol
6. Not knowing that dishwashin’ was an art form, we’ve just been letting the dog lick them clean. I’m gonna have to change my whole attitude about this stuff. thanks…
• Greg Merritt says:
No, no, no…you have inadvertently stumbled upon the medieval form of the dishwashing art. There are only two known, rumored really, references to this form. Both appear in illuminated texts. One is believed to be locked away in the Vatican and the other in a French monastery. You may be able to lead a revival of this ancient art form.
7. Dave G says:
Hi Greg
I was glad to get to your final paragraph , reading through I thought you must have been spending too long in the sun .
8. Dan says:
This so funny!! The other day a buddy of mine and I were talking about the “old ways” of doing stuff is sometimes better than the new ways. I recently switched to using a safety razor for shaving and I have to say its better than and 4 or 5 blade razor that you have to take out a small loan to purchase. Also, lye based soaps are second to none. I have yet to find a bar of soap that cleans better than a bar of lye soap. I’m not suggesting we should unplug our dishwashers or even spend all day rendering fat, bit if you have a chance to purchase lye based soap from a farmer’s market, you will not be disappointed.
As far as woodworking goes, I won’t give up my table saw or router. I’m just less dependent on them.
9. Siavosh says:
Great analogy, will be mulling this over whenever I feel a bit judgmental 🙂
10. Deniseg says:
I’m loading the dishwasher, thickness planing a few boards and off to the shop to had fit some dovetails.
11. Bob Easton says:
A modern Miguel Cervantes in the making! Keep writing young lad.
• Greg Merritt says:
LOL…don’t expect any epic tails of a deranged Spaniard on a woodworking quest. Plus I’m long past the “sell by” date for being considered a “young lad”.
12. Dave G says:
Great looking finished box, amongst other things I am impressed with the accuracy and quality of the drilled and chamfered holes,which really sets the box off. How do you get the spacing so accurate and what type of drill bits and chamfer chamfer tools do you use

MacDougall: Harper must force the opposition to act like the government
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's opposition to a military mission in Iraq has served to define him as more than just an amorphous vessel of "change", argues Andrew MacDougall. Justin Tang / CP
Share Adjust Comment Print
The dynamic of parliamentary government is straightforward: the government chooses and the opposition, for the most part, criticizes the choice. The government will get the lion’s share of the attention, as they are the ones proposing policy, while the opposition is merely offering their opinion. Stephen Harper is going to have to reverse that dynamic as often as he can over the coming months for his party to avoid a return to the opposition benches.
By the time the next election rolls around Stephen Harper will have been in government for nine and half years. His choices, and the choices of the government he leads, have made him a known quantity. Love him or hate him, Canadians know who he is and where he stands.
Entrenched opinion is the toughest obstacle to overcome for a long-standing incumbent. Indeed, it’s the accumulation of the effects of hundreds of disparate choices that typically pushes a government out of power. If a government hangs around long enough, it will eventually rub enough people the wrong way. In this scenario, the opposition can usually win by laying low and running under the amorphous banner of “change.”
And so Harper must make the opposition pro-choice.
Forcing the opposition into choices will make them concrete to voters. Despite what you might think, at this moment very few people know or care who Tom Mulcair or Justin Trudeau are. People are just too busy with their own lives. While Trudeau might have fairly broad name recognition, it is unlikely people have the first clue of what he would do in government.
To give them credit, Trudeau and his team have done yeoman’s work in getting out across the country and generating interest. As a result, Justin Trudeau is currently the vessel of choice for people who are disappointed in politics. Forcing Trudeau into choices will go a long way toward making him just another politician, and not the messiah.
Which brings us to this week’s vote on Iraq, where Justin Trudeau came across as anything but a messiah as he declined to endorse Canada’s military participation in the fight against Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Syria. He didn’t earn very many style points either, making a cheap military-themed planes-as-penis joke in the run up to the vote.
As a result, and for the first time since becoming leader, Justin Trudeau had a significant number of current or former Liberals either criticizing or openly defying him. For the first time, the majority of editorial opinion went against him. It was also an absolute gift to the government, as the decision reinforced the Conservative narrative on Trudeau as someone basically out of his depth.
The irony of this week’s choice is that getting it right should have been a no-brainer. There is presently a band of violent jihadis raping and pillaging their way across the Middle East, and a laundry list of Canada’s allies – including allies of all political and ethnic stripes – are pitching in on a response. Sure, the proposed response might not work, and isn’t likely to be enough, but is declining to even try the better option? Is helping those who have been raped and pillaged with humanitarian aid after the fact a better choice than trying to stop it from happening in the first place? Why not do both?
And let’s face it, no-one was asking or expecting Canada to lead the charge or carry a heavy load. While no military option is risk-free, this was a fairly limited motion, one all but the die-hard anti-war crowd could support.
But that’s the thing about choices: it doesn’t matter how smart or savvy you are, if you make enough of them, you’ll eventually make a bad one. This government, like all governments, has made its share of clunkers. That’s the joy of government: most often your choices aren’t between perfect option A) and terrible option B), they’re between awful option C) and impossibly bad option D).
If the government is to draw a conclusion from this week’s action on Parliament Hill, it should be to continue putting choices in front of Trudeau. They should fire as many bullets from the policy cannon and put the pressure on the opposition to respond.
Are you for tax relief for families, or are you against it? If you’re against it, why are you against it? What would you do differently with the expected surplus, Mr. Trudeau, or Mr. Mulcair?
The government’s fall economic and fiscal update will present the next opportunity to force the issue. If the government continues to tip its hand and pulls forward some policies that are expected to feature in the next budget, as it did with the doubling of the child fitness tax credit, we’ll know the government is serious about framing a choice.
If faced with substance, the opposition will have no choice but to answer. With an election just around the corner, they’ll have no choice but to say what they’d do differently.
And then Canadians will have a “real” choice at the next election, and not a choice between Harper and “change.”

Where can I buy a cheap cell phone jammers?
I know a website URL is this: cell phone jammer for sale.
Cell phone jammer is a very interesting device that allows people around you can not use the phone calls and Internet access. We know that some places have a cell phone jammer for sale, if you are interested can look at.
I can not say that some parts of the hotel is equipped with hidden surveillance cameras, peeping my privacy, so sometimes Wifi Jammer is quite useless
Who knows how can signal jammers to sell? This site has Signal Jammer, but you need to have legal procedures.

Williams was one of the great Welsh artists of the twentieth-century, his paintings captured the majestic landscapes of his native land. The art of Sir Kyffin Williams captured the imagination of the Welsh public.
The North Wales of his upbringing, the mountains that he had roamed, first as a boy with his dog, later walking with the hounds, demanded to be drawn or painted and its farmland and the stone walls that defined his early world would define his drawings.
In 1968, Kyffin received a Winston Churchill Fellowship to record the Welsh community in Patagonia. That visit resulted in works of unusually vibrant colour; it also reinforced awareness of his roots. Painting fast and fluently, he was nevertheless fanatical about structure and form and his descriptions of the process of painting were coloured by the language of military engagement; he “did battle” with a picture and being “defeated” by it made him miserable.
The darkness implicit in so many of Kyffin’s mountain landscapes was a facet of his own make-up. He recognised in it the Celtic tendency to melancholy, but believed it to be exacerbated by circumstance, instinctively feeling that a certain despair and gloom were the logical sequel to his grand mal seizures. So the ostensibly calm exterior – army officer bearing, country gentleman tweed suits, aristocratic nose, luxuriant moustache – hid a more complex personality.
Throughout his career he was rewarded with a great many honours. He was a senior Royal Academician, and for many years he was President of the Royal Cambrian Academy. In 1982 he received an OBE for his services to the arts and in 2000, his 80th year, he was given a knighthood.

Considering the first episode was Steven and Lizzie hooking up
Bilitz wanted the comic to not head this way and at one point he realized it was headed this way. Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Kyra and Beatrice. Crazy Cat Lady: Mrs. Meaningful Name: “Krone” sounds a bit like the Greek deity of time, Chronos, doesn’t it? Mysterious Past: Cutscenes reveal that you may in fact be a plant; a special agent sent to keep an eye on Krone just in case he tried this. Non Standard Game Over: If you screw up during the fan puzzle in the Test Labs level, you’ll get a special animation showing your character being sliced up by the blades. Obvious Beta: A lot of the in game loading screens refer to missing features, and the rewind power is disabled a lot to prevent minor bugs; they “justify” this as a security measure. Awesome McCoolname: In the YouTube version, the father gets the name Jack Bauer and is clearly psyched. The rest of the family don’t get off so lucky. Black Comedy: A scene in which the son has to kill a family of buffalo (mom, dad, and baby) is played entirely for laughs.
Replica Hermes Birkin The Kindnapper thinks of himself as kind and that’s all that counts in order for him to count as one. The most sympathetic portrayals of this kind of kindnapping will highlight the Kindnapper’s good intentions, but also make it clear that abducting people is no way to actually be kind. This type is otherwise known as The Obviously Misguided Kindnapper due to the dearth of portrayals of this type of kindnapping being portrayed as actually benevolent. Revenge of the Island only showed those from that season returning. All Stars breaks this trend, kind of. All the contestants from that season return, but they are trapped in balloons and float away before the challenge begins, with the exception of Gwen, Cameron, Heather, and Alejandro, who are freed by Mal and Zoey.

Technically speaking there are multiple fees that will be part of the buyer’s closing costs but which the seller automatically pays for in a reimbursement. These include the city transfer tax, documentary transfer tax to title and the owners title policy.

It means proportional to the crime committed relative to our socially agreed upon punishment structure.Letting alone the fact that harsher punishments don do much to decrease recidivation rates, while softer methods focused on rehabilitation as opposed to punishment do. You saying that because killing somebody who pokes out an eye is obviously bad (which is clearly true), that means it makes poking the criminals eye out is the right way to go (which is at the very least, open to debate) Lace Wigs.

Which job is it?
Sen. Mel Martinez is the embodiment of the American dream. He is appreciated and admired by most Floridians. I want to believe that the article in Sunday's paper was written by the chairman of the Republican Party -- not by the senator from Florida -- because it is a political piece not based on facts.
A politician, not a senator, accuses the opposition of "choosing the path of more partisanship and more division." A politician wants unity when the other side is in power, ignoring that his party had a sizable majority for six years, and it was "their way or the highway" type of governance. It is a politico who speaks of war on terrorists in Iraq -- where none existed before the invasion -- and expects a dialing-for-dollars approach to funding just like when they had absolute power in the House and Senate.
It is a politician who plays with numbers. Who is the "average" Floridian saving almost $1,500 a year "thanks to Republican tax cuts"? Is that the number you get when the richest and poorest are put together? It's like saying the "average salary" in the office is $40,000 when one person makes $20,000, the other earns $30,000, and the third gets $70,000. Some average!
We like and respect Mel Martinez in his senator role, the full-time job Floridians placed in his hands.
Which of the two positions is part-time? Floridians would like to know.

Why is Veena Malik snubbing ex-boyfriend Ashmit Patel?
The actor recently launched the first look poster of her new film Supermodel, and we must say she was in her usual spicy form
Veena Malik truly understands the art of drawing attention to herself. If she can go virtually nude to create a tiny li’l space for herself in the spotlight, she can also target ex-lover Ashmit Patel just to revel in a teeny weeny ‘two seconds of fame’ moment. So this is what happened – Ashmit Patel, who’s also a part of Supermodel, didn’t appear at the launch soiree of the film. That obviously gave rise to a series of questions in the heads of ever-prying journos. And when they asked Ms hot and sizzling Malik about his absence, she simply snapped back at them saying, “Who Ashmit?”
Not just that…the babe also went to the extent of saying that if the supermodel herself was present, why on earth are people asking about a supporting artiste! We wonder if Veena will ever learn how to be a mealy-mouthed siren; even if she doesn’t, we have to confess that her bold and unabashed way of putting things continues giving us the uncontrollable giggles….

Product Name: LEIXE American Compass
Material: Alloy
Size: 8.5CM * 6CM * 3CM
Color: Army green
Construction and performance:
1. Orientation measuring mechanism:
By the compass, according to the door and sight and other components. Outside the azimuth division of 360 ° zoning system, the minimum grid value of 2 °; inner ring for the 60-00 dense division system, the minimum grid value 0-20 density The conversion of bits and degrees is shown in the table.
Measurement accuracy: ± 0-10 density ± 1 °
2. Distance Estimator:
By the door and the sight of the composition of the front sight of the two tips and the edge of the center line as the angle of 1-00 dense, the length between the two tips 12.34 mm, according to the door between the length of 123.4 mm, that is 10: 1 ratio Range estimator.
Measurement accuracy of 5%
1. Measuring Azimuth:
Turn the compass, turn the azimuth box so that the direction of the glass on the scale line and the direction of the relative indicators, the head-diagonal oblique (45 °) monocular targeting through the prospective star, from the mirror to see the magnetic pin N-pole reverse And then use the right hand to rotate the azimuth frame so that the scale line on the azimuth glass is aligned with the magnetic needle N pole. At this time, the angle between the direction indicator and the azimuth glass graduation line is Target azimuth (calculated in clockwise direction).
Open the compass, calibration of the map (ranging from the calibration map), in the map at the base point of a plug a needle, turn the compass, so that the side edge cut at the target point, you can read the reference point to the target point Of the azimuth.
2. Calibrate the map:
Expand the compass, turn the azimuth box, so that the alignment of the line on the scale line with the direction of alignment indicators (note the magnetic declination correction), the map pin on the map, the sight of the north end of the map, Ladder length and map magnetic meridian tangent, turn the map so that the magnetic needle N pole alignment azimuth glass on the scale line, at this time that the map has been calibrated.
3 seeking to march toward the goal of march direction:
The direction of the direction of the index refers to the direction of travel. Rotate the azimuth direction of the azimuth glass on the direction of (S, N) and the map on the map and the map on the map, (S, N) direction, and then write down the azimuth readings of the direction of indicators, in the face of the direction of the index picked up the body to rotate the North, the magnetic needle N and the alignment of the alignment glass line, this time through the sight (Such as woods, houses, etc.) can be used as a secondary goal of the march direction, after the auxiliary target can be identified on the move forward.Close the North Compass Bag, but do not rotate the azimuth box, to reach the secondary target can then find a new auxiliary target to move forward until the destination date, along the way should always check the direction of reading.
4. Determine the distance between the target and the standing point by knowing the interval of the target:
(1) By aiming the target at both the right and left sides of the sight and the sight, the distance of the target is estimated by the ratio of 10: 1 according to the ratio of the width of the target.
Distance between the target and the standing point (m) = Target spacing width (m) x10 / Target spacing A multiple of the width of the two tips of the sight
Example: There is a highway in front of us and parallel to the position, the distance between the road and position.
There are poles along the road, the distance between the pole 50 meters, with the distance estimator measured around the tip of a pole 5, that is, the distance between the two bars accounted for about two times the distance between the tip of the tip.According to the proportion formula Y
The distance between the road and the position = 50x10x4 = 2000 meters
② use the auxiliary point to find the target distance
Use the gates to aim at the target, rotate the azimuth frame to align the graduation line with the positive pole, write down the azimuth reading indicated by the direction indicator, and then turn left or right at right angles (ie, 15-00 from the original azimuth reading) Find a secondary point, with the step method or other methods to measure the distance from the auxiliary point to the standing point in the auxiliary point and then use the compass through the original goal of aiming at the door alignment, the same direction of rotation of the alignment box alignment line N pole, note down the direction of the indicators indicated by the reading. According to the difference between before and after the direction of the angle difference between the two points and the distance from the standing point, check Table 2 can get the target distance.
If the difference between the two direction angle readings is 7-50 (ie 45 °), then the target distance equals the distance from the station to the auxiliary point.
5. Measuring pitch angle:
Will be facing down, with the goal of aiming at the target, through the head-up mirror read out the pitch angle of the reading; or will stand on a plane, measuring the tilt angle of the plane.
6. Measuring height:
Use the map and altimeter to measure the height from the map to check the standing point to the target horizontal distance, and then measured the pitching power of the compass, through the altimeter to find the height can also be calculated using trigonometric functions. The height of the summit.
From the map to detect the top of the mountain and the standing point of the horizontal distance of 100 meters, measured with a north foot elevation angle of 40 °, and then check the altimeter at 100 meters at 40 °, the available height of 83.91 meters.
7. Measure the distance between any two points on the map:
The formula of calculating the length of side and the distance of field in map with different scale
1: 25000 map: distance = (the number of mm / 4) X100 (m)
1: 50000 map: distance = (measure the number of mm / 2) X100 (m)
1: 100000 Map: Distance = measure the number of millimeters X 100 (m)
8. Magnetic declination measurement:
① north and south magnetic poles of the Earth's orientation is not just in the north-south direction of the Earth, so the magnetic needle guide north, and the true north-south direction has a deviation angle, the deviation angle is called magnetic declination, the values around the different. Measurement, the magnetic needle can be regarded as the real direction of the North, in the need for accurate measurement, the first check where the magnetic declination of the book, and then according to the direction of the compass direction, calculate the real north-south direction, such as the use of Changsha The magnetic declination of Changsha is 2 ° 41 '(W), which means that the north side of the magnetic needle in Changsha is just 2 ° 41' to the west of the north.
② magnetic angle method anywhere.
In the clear night, open the compass, rotate the azimuth frame, so that the azimuth glass (N) is the direction of the word indicators. With the door, sight, goggles and luminous signs on the North Star, the same direction, North pin flat, then the magnetic needle is the location of the Arctic reading is the magnetic declination.
1. Use and place the compass when not near the ferromagnetic objects, high-voltage lines and electromagnetic devices, so as to avoid errors and reduce the sensitivity of the compass.
2. Do not use, should be placed in ventilated, dry place, so as to avoid mold.
3. Head-up mirror, anti-word table sign do not bend, so as not to affect its accuracy.
4. The surface dirt, the available white cloth to wipe the surface to keep the surface smooth.
The use of damping oil plate design, the stability of the product strong; The product is fully sealed design, waterproof; with level instrument, improve accuracy, greatly reducing the error!

Hyperstack vs Hotwire
This is a very opinionated, but I hope honest and accurate comparison of Hyperstack vs. Hotwire.
First off what are these things?
Both are ways to integrate a modern UI into rails.
Both are integrated with websockets for push notifications of database changes
Disclaimer — I am one of the contributors to Hyperstack, so like I said this is opinionated. However, Hyperstack is dog food I eat daily and have bet my business on.
• Everything is written in Ruby (including client-side code)
• Uses React under the hood for building the UI side of things and allows access to React component libraries
• Seamlessly keeps Rails models synchronized between the UI and the server, in many cases with no extra code.
• Eliminates the need for the Controller layer (but you can still use controllers if you want)
• Pushes as much work as possible onto the client-side
• Provides a powerful data access control mechanism built on the “Pundit” policy concept.
• Can be used with existing Rails sites.
• Is the next evolution of Rails Turbolinks
• Augments the traditional MVC Rails system by intelligently pushing out incremental updates to the view layer.
• Uses traditional Rails concepts such as Controllers, and ERB view files.
• Keeps a lot of work on the server-side, making the client-side very slim.
• Eliminates a lot (but not all) of the JS code you might have to write.
• Has the backing of DHH and presumably the Rails community.
To give a very quick comparison of these technologies, I took a look at the simple “Tweet” app discussed in this podcast (https://gorails.com/episodes/hotwire-rails) and built the same app in Hyperstack. Note: The actual UI design here is not my idea, I just took the code given and translated it with as little change as possible.
Since one of the big goals of Hyperstack is to reduce overall code size let's start with a look at the total lines of code — not including generated boilerplate files such as the layout and styles that are the same.
Hyperstack - 78 lines vs — Hotwire — 156
But lines of code are not everything, which one is going to be easier to understand and maintain?
Let’s look at how each framework implements the “Tweet Card” that displays each tweet and allows for the updating of the “likes” and “retweets” counter.
So far the two piles of code look very similar.
Hyperstack defines a React component that takes a tweet parameter and then lays out the code using a DSL that maps to the underlying HTML tags plus any application-defined components (such as the EditTweet component “mounted” on line 11)
Hotwire uses ERB to generate the HTML with a number of “view helpers” such as turbo_frame_tag etc.
Like React Hyperstack is declarative and state-driven. When the user clicks the edit button, this updates the editing state, causing the component to render and mount the EditTweet component. (Line 14) The EditTweet component will fire the save or cancel events, both of which return the editing state to false. The work is defined and performed on the client.
Hotwire’s goal is to keep the logic on the server, thus when the user clicks Edit, this simply does a post to the server, which will do the work of updating the component.
When the user clicks the “Like” or “Retweet” button on the Hyperstack UI the event is handled by the .on(:click) handler, which simply calls the ActiveRecord increment! method to update the count in the tweet. Under the hood, Hyperstack takes care of keeping the local (UI) copy of the tweet in sync with the server’s copy and rebroadcasting any changes to any other participating browsers.
Hotwire meanwhile handles the counter updates the same way as the edit function: It delegates the work to the server, and so there must be code up there to handle this. Indeed there are three controllers defined that do the real work of dealing with changes to the tweet:
So while the Hyperstack code initially appears slightly longer than the Hotwire code, the UI portion was not the whole story. For the html.erb file to actually work, another 70+ lines have to be added, and what is worse the UI logic is now split between 4 different files.
And we are not done. In addition to the .erb file, and the controllers we also need a json file that acts as a kind of API glue logic. Luckily Hotwire comes with jbuilder, so this file is just another 2 lines that you need to add and maintain.
Hold on, we are not quite done yet. In order for Hotwire to know that it needs to broadcast changes to the client, you have to announce this by adding three more declarations (after_…) to the twitter.rb file.
Are we there yet? Well almost. One more file to go. Remember the controllers? Well, you have to route to them right? That’s 3 more lines to deal with in yet another file. In all fairness, Hyperstack also requires a few lines (2 to be exact) in the routes.rb file, but those two lines never have to change for the life of the application.
But before I move on, let's look at this code another way. Say that you had a working system, to which you wanted to add the like attribute and button.
What would it take?
First in common for both systems you would add the attribute to the model by creating and running a migration (yeah rails!)
Once that is done here is what you would do in a Hotwire system:
• add the resource to the routes file,
• add a controller (as we see above about 14 lines of code,)
• don’t forget to update the json file and add the new attribute there,
• and finally, we add our button_to tag in the _tweet.html.erb file.
We have touched 4 files, added 16 lines of code, used a working knowledge of 6 different Rails subsystems — action controller, view helpers, jbuilder, active record, and the router — and wrote our code in a mix of Ruby, html, and ERB.
On the other hand the same task in Hyperstack?
Once the migration is complete just add the following line:
For which you have to understand active record for the increment! method and the HyperComponent DSL, both of which are directly related to the task at hand.
What is the catch?
There is no catch, it's just a different set of goals. Hyperstack was built to maximize programmer productivity and to offload work from the central server down to the client. It achieves those goals by using a single wonderful language throughout, building on Rails, and using the Rails motto of convention over configuration to eliminate needless boilerplate.
Hotwire’s stated purpose is to keep control in the server, and it achieves that goal, but at quite an expense to the maintainability and understandability of the software. It also takes a more conservative approach in its design, rather than throw out the need for controllers, and replacing ERB files with a Ruby DSL, it builds on tried and true Rails techniques, which many people may be comfortable with.
Some Other Considerations
This is a very limited exercise, but having looked at how the two systems accomplish things, I believe things just get harder (sorry) with Hotwire, while they get easier with Hyperstack. I can’t prove that, but like I said this is an opinionated piece.
Another consideration is the value of participating in the React ecosystem. The fundamental architecture of React, as a declarative state-driven system, makes the resulting code incredibly simple to write and understand. I believe it is far easier (once you have gotten through the basic learning curve of course) to produce highly functional, and maintainable code in this declarative style. Furthermore, there is a wealth of ready-made React components to solve every conceivable problem, further reducing the amount of code you have to write and maintain.
A final consideration is the value of developing in a single language. Many people do not believe this is a big factor, and that dealing with several languages and systems is just the programmer's job, and is no big deal. Neither is true. Constantly context switching causes the programmer to waste valuable energy, and to focus on implementation details, rather than thinking about the system as a whole. There is nothing that makes one language better at UI development and another language better for the server-side. We have the tools to compile just about any language to any platform, so why not pick a single language that can be used system-wide? And if you are going to pick a language then it is hard to beat Ruby.

The paperless office may still be a long way away, but the digital contract is becoming a reality for an increasing number of businesses. Digital signatures are now being used to protect documents in a variety of fields including life insurance policies, rental agreements, invoices and employment contracts.
In the US, it is estimated that 50% of documents could be being signed electronically before the end of the decade. In Europe, which has been slower to adopt the technology, the market is expected to expand rapidly as new EU eIDAS regulation clarifies the necessary legal framework and allows more flexible technical solutions to be adopted.
So, with this in mind, what are the business benefits of switching to digital signatures?
Cost savings and efficiency improvements
Firstly, there is no longer a need to print the document, copy it, fax/courier/post it, copy it again when returned and then archive it in a filing cabinet. Why wait for a senior manager to return from holiday or a sales conference to approve a deal? Workflow and digital signature approval solutions allow you to upload documents, add signature fields, apply legal notices, send documents to internal or external parties and store and retrieve copies online. They also allow signing on the move from mobile devices.
This makes managing and tracking contracts easier, less time consuming and less stressful. Email notifications inform people when it is their turn to sign and remind them if required. Status tracking means you can see at a glance where the document is in the approval process. Management features allow other staff to prepare and check documents prior to senior staff applying their digital signatures. Most of all, digital and ‘live’ signing improves the user experience and, thanks to cloud-based solutions, is quick, easy and convenient.
Increased security and compliant practices
Another benefit is security. Digital methods provide a clear audit trail to minimise the risk of fraud and compliance issues. Unlike a traditional ink on paper signature, a digital signature is impossible to forge when combined with strong user authentication options and as a result provides strong evidence in court. Signers can authenticate their identity and authorise their signature using PINs, passwords and cryptographic codes and their digital signature includes a trusted timestamp to prove the exact date and time that a document was signed.
Digital solutions also provide clear proof of signer identity and show the document has not changed since it was signed. The most secure solutions embed the signer’s digital certificate to the document itself – binding the signer’s identity to the document and locking it from any unauthorised or fraudulent change.
Digital signatures also ensure document validity well into the future. ETSI PDF Advanced Signatures (PAdES) is a set of standards that support EU Electronic Identification and Trust Services (eIDAS) requirements. These specifications include long-term signature formats, enabling digitally signed documents to remain valid for many years into the future, even if technological and other advances have occurred since signing.
Last but not least, there are environmental sustainability benefits. By switching to digital signatures you are signalling to customers, partners and employees that you care about the environment and reducing waste — and that you are an innovative and forward-looking company.
The business outcomes
Ultimately, digital signatures save time, money and effort; make contracts more secure through the reduced risk of fraud; simplify audit and compliance; and help strengthen your brand. Given that solutions can be easily integrated into existing applications and require relatively little capital outlay, it is an ideal solution for small businesses.
There are caveats though. Not everything that looks like a digital signature solution holds up to legal scrutiny. Some solutions are based on simple e-signatures that do not authenticate the signer and do not cryptographically lock the document against change. Some are much less flexible than others. For example, not all solutions have the option of deploying in-country or in-house to meet national or organisational data protection requirements.
Investing in a document workflow and digital signature approval solution must deliver clear business outcomes – enhanced business processes, an increase in productivity, enhanced data security and document protection and reduced costs.
The final step is to choose to sign on the (digital) dotted line.

Qrixkuor – Three Devils Dance album review
Ireland’s latest deathly occultists set out their murky stall
TODO alt text
Coming from Ireland’s ever- reliable Invictus Productions, Three Devils Dance is a highly anticipated debut from one of London’s more mysterious entities.
Anyone who snagged a copy of last year’s now sold-out rehearsal tape, or witnessed one of the band’s mesmerising live performances, will be more than satisfied, as the album showcases the band’s qualities perfectly.
Three Devils… consists of three lengthy hymns of murky underbelly death metal that ruminates beneath a slowly developing hypnosis of disorientating blackened reverb. The rhythm section throbs along in the squalid style of early Teitanblood and Wrathprayer, creating a more atmospheric rumble than a mindless blast, and a subtle vocal clamour blends perfectly, flowing with the maelstrom rather than leading it. Expertly mixed and mastered by Vassafor’s VK, the tracks flow together with some delicate percussion and morbid ambience, creating a 39-minute ritualistic nightmare. Qrixkuor’s otherworldly blackened death metal cacophony will surely propel them to higher realms of infamy.

Great game, typically 4 stars, but 5 this time
Overall, good game play/graphics, and TONS of content and options. There is a good balance between free to play and pay to play. The absolute best characters are available to anyone, but be prepared to grind to rank up/level up. They do have free events and daily login rewards to speed your progress. Kicking in even $3.50 a month speeds things along. The latest update actually reflects Marvel / movie history reasonably well... that's where the 5th star came from.
Highly Addictive
I usually go through phone games like fat chick's go through ice cream but I have been stuck playing this game for 6 or 7 months now and don't plan on quitting. There is always constant updates with new characters and story's lines it's awesome. . Great job NM and great job marvel as usual
Great Game
This game is amazing, the only mobile game I have consistently played for over a year. You're always seeing new content, and while you do get fun events they don't ignore working on the core game to focus just on event after event. This game actually makes me want to spend money on it, but you don't have to, they have daily ways of earning the special currency. (Without having to watch ads or download other games.)
Keep in mind
world boss still too hard and
nice setup for a game,but this game will keep you perpetually weak like just start game. Your hope of amassing great power even advancement. So you can dominate some part of the game is void. After spending a lot of money to get power ups at next update I will delete. Shame I really wanted to like this game too. As the game grew too big for me to have other games on the phone.
From worse to the worst
A rip off. You got to spend your money if you ever want yo hv strong heroes. Extremely slow progress if you dont spend money. Game just got a lot harder to win with the worthless heroes. 90% failure rate on the latest missions. Not worth my time!!!
Previously I gave it 5*. Now 1* because there is no option of 0*. It's was a great game. But now it's becoming a pay well game. They starting to sell characters. It's a shame net marble. I wish marvel cancel your license for being soo greedy. U don't deserve to be a part of marvel family. U are selling crystals and other stuff but that's not enough for u. Tell me how a FTP player can get those characters? If a FTP player can't get them with out spending money then how it become a free game?

Unpatriotic, Un-American Hollywood.
Unpatriotic, Un-American Hollywood.
Back in the days when Americans had a sense of shame, Hollywood, a part of the political left in America, had the common decency to refrain from attacking the US military, and America, while the country was at war. It just wasn’t done! Why? Because people who love their country don’t do that sort of thing. It’s called “patriotism”. For those of you on the left… you can find the definition of patriotism in any dictionary. But, then, if you have to look it up… what does that say about you?
Now comes word that Hollywood is churning out a number of anti-war, anti US military, anti conservative, and anti Bush Administration films… just in time for the ’08 election cycle. Will wonders never cease??? Who would have thought that Hollywood had so little class? The answer: Just about anyone who has seen Hollywood’s products of the past 20 years, or so.
Well, Conservatives are fed-up with Hollywood’s self-appointed expertise in diplomacy, and in politics in general. Their slobbering after the Clinton Administration was the beginning of their fall. Their rabid attacks of the current administration has underscored their vacuous, brainless, emotion-based hate of anything even approaching Conservative. Their hedonism is held up to the light for all to see, and they attack the light because the truth of who, and what, they are, nearly destroys them. They live in a close-knit environment of fellow leftists and they have come to believe that their view is the view of all Americans. How wrong they are! Yet, their limited intelligence shields them from the truth of their foolish image as seen by sane, intelligent, people. They make spectacles of themselves revolting to Americans who believe in their God, their families, and their country.
So, what motivates them? Fear motivates them. Fear that their Godless existence will tarnish their carefully molded personas and mark them with the “Mark of the Beast”.
No single community in America has done more to destroy this nation than Hollywood. None. Their efforts have lowered the morals of America’s youth to the lowest common denominator… and then lowered it some more.
No longer does the public believe they create movies for the sake of the art of entertainment. Now we know they create movies as propaganda, as “How To” instruction for all sorts of crime and debauchery.
Their utter disregard for morality is disgusting. When we think they have sunk as low as it is possible for one to sink, they sink even lower.
And now… they want to dictate, to average Americans, how their government should conduct the people’s business. They call into question the veracity of a President, and a government, duly elected by the people of the US, and undermine the war efforts of this country by propping up dictators and publicly slandering the US while visiting other countries abroad. They slander their own country while bowing at the feet of some of the world’s worst dictators.
While many of the top tier actors, and actresses, haven’t even a high school diploma, they know they are smarter than you and I because they can ACT AS IF THEY ARE. They have come to believe their own press releases!
Their disgusting, degrading, products have polluted the minds of our youth long enough. But they are not finished. Oh, no!
Now they are going after their own country, with renewed vigor, in a reinvigorated effort to exchange our democratic government for a socialist regime. The vast propaganda machine of the left is churning out the anti-American propaganda, which is coming to a screen near you very soon. Watch for it! And avoid it like the plague!

Wha Wadna Fecht for Charlie said...
“Conservatives are fed-up with Hollywood’s self-appointed expertise in diplomacy, and politics in general.”
I became fed-up and bored years ago. Their ability to re-write history and offend just about everybody never ceases to surprise me. Historical accuracy and Hollywood rarely seem to coincide.
“Their efforts have lowered the morals of America’s youth” backs up a theory that I have held for years. Keeping to general population uneducated and oblivious to the outside world makes a population easy to control. Orwell’s 1984 is alive and well here.
Longstreet said...
By the way, is Pinewood still up and running??? I don't see much produced by them on this side of the pond anymore. Just curious.
Best regards!
Wha Wadna Fecht for Charlie said...
Pinewood is still there. They still turn out movies but it must be difficult for them to compete with the big budget Hollywood epic. I guess some of the storylines would not transfer over to the U.S. market.
The problem I have with Hollywood is their ability to change historical facts to make a ‘better’ movie. The majority of people are completely incapable of any independent though and believe that facts as they are displayed in the film. A prime example - Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart.” Wallace supposedly fathered a son by a former Princess of Wales who actually gave birth seven years after his execution - some pregnancy!
I will assume that you are not a fan of ‘Syriana’, which condemns U.S. institutions and industry, ‘Good Night and Good Luck’ about Ed Murrow and McCarthy or the 2004 remake of The Manchurian Candidate, where a U.S. multinational corporation resembling Halliburton replaced the communists of the 1962 original.
I should read my posts first – my grammar and spelling is appalling. And here I am ranting on about keeping the population uneducated!
Longstreet said...
You are correct about those movies. I didn't see them. I had read enough about them, and seen enough of their promos, that I was able to decipher what their propaganda would be, therefore I stayed away. Sorta makes one wonder what a "House Unamerican Activities Committee" would find these days!
I like a good story as well as the next guy. But, it seems to me that changing facts about a historical event so that a movie made about that event will be artistically more acceptable is a form of deceit.
We are about to be flooded with movies, over the next few months, which have one overriding purpose... and that is to sway the American electorate into supporting a Leftist agenda in the 2008 election. I think Hollywood ought to be required to tag those movies with disclaimers, just as US polticians must do, declaring the movie as a political message.
I'm not holding my breath, though.

LJ employees might have new way to save money
-A A +A
By The Staff
This would be in addition to the state retirement program currently offered to the employees.
In the future, the city could opt to match some of the saved funds, if it wished.
Mayor Butch Sweat said this is another benefit that can be offered to the employees.
“It’s a plus for the employees,” said Sweat.
Councilman Dion Collins said he has participated in similar plans and they provide another way to attract and to retain employees.
Police officer Charlie Flechler had previously participated in the program as a state employee and felt it was beneficial to the city employees.
The minimum weekly contribution by an employee would be $7.50.
In other business:
*Trying to get a rotation in upgrading its city police department fleet, the council opted to purchase two new vehicles.
Police chief Bill Hornung said the state contract for an Explorer was $20,699 and the Crown Victoria was $20,352.
He proposed purchasing one vehicle and leasing the other. However, councilmembers opted to purchase and pay for each vehicle.
The chief said a couple of the current vehicles were 10 years old and had over 200,000 miles. On the day of the council meeting, officer Steve Hamilton’s cruiser has slipped out of park and rolled into the middle of Highway 61. No one was injured.
Sweat said it would save money on the maintenance if the city got two new vehicles. He would like to see a rotation where the council might purchase a new one in the following year’s budget.
Councilman Larry Dangerfield said if the money was available, the city should purchase rather than lease either of the vehicles.
The Explorer, which would be four-wheel drive, would be made into a mobile command car. It could also be used in bad weather and to transport people to the shelter, if needed.
The council approved purchasing both vehicles at a cost of around $45,000, which would include striping the vehicles and getting both equipped.
The council then declared two old police cars surplus and agreed to take bids on them.
*If he was comparing apples to apples, Lucky Dennis purchased an old Ford dump truck from the city for a price of $650. The only other bid was for $301.35.
The only question was that Dennis had Chevrolet truck on his bid but it was a Ford that was declared surplus.
*Eddie Ashbaugh was approved by the council as the newest employee of the water works system.
*Councilman Tim Sanders said he had heard a lot of good comments about the police and fire departments, especially during the recent storm.
*A resident inquired who enforced the city ordinances.
Sweat said the city works on complaints all the time.
Without a formal, written complaint, Flechler said it is harder to get a conviction in court. He said the police will cite violations and then let the court system determine the outcome.
Sweat said the city was trying to deal as quickly as possible with things such as vacant homes needing to be boarded up.
*The fire department responded to 47 downed power lines, two structure fires and a natural gas leak during the ice storm.
The next meeting of the Lebanon Junction City Council will be on Monday, March 2, at 7 p.m. in city hall. The public is invited to attend.

Woman murdered 70-year-old mother-in-law in a property greed
Mumbai: In a property greed, and frequent fights with a mother-in-laws, a 32-year-old woman murdered her 70-year-old mother-in-law at their residence in Chembur’s Pestum Sagar colony in Mumbai. The deceased, identified as Sanjana Patil, was brought to Rajawadi hospital with serious injuries, stating that she slipped and fell down in the bathroom on Monday evening.
The couple had no children so she adopted Dinesh, the son of her husband’s brother. She owned four flats- two in Chembur and two in Worli. She had rented out three flats and lived in the fourth one with her adopted son and his wife. Sanjana used to seek alms outside a Jain temple in the city’s Ghatkopar locality despite earning money from renting out flats.
At around 3 pm on Monday, an altercation flared up between Anjana and Sanjana. Anjana got filled with rage and picked up a cricket bat and assaulted Sanjana several times. Later, she pulled out a string from Sanjana’s innerwear and strangulated her as she did not die with the cricket bat. The string broke. She then used a mobile charger to strangulate her till she stopped breathing. Later, the accused confessed that she was fed up with frequent fights and wanted all four flats to be transferred in her name.
However, upon investigating the mysterious death, police discovered that Anjana Dinesh Patil, the wife of Sanjana’s adopted son Dinesh Patil had killed her.

The Egyptian empire is in turmoil! There are two military factions striving to gain control.
Your objective is to defeat the opposing Egyptian force by obliterating their palace.
You can crush the enemy palace by sending forth your mystical military units. You can research new units and upgrade them.
Build pyramid towers to defend your palace. The towers are essential if you have any hope for survival.
Good luck, bring peace to Egypt by crushing the enemy!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
You sure missed something
The game is not that hard lol.
But well, you need to add name and description of tower and unit.
I only used the first tower and unit, build tower first, then upgrade it, and send 40 unit when have the money.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Balance problem
Why should I research the other units? In fact, when I researched the second unit it cost more than my basic unit, but was weaker in every aspect. What the hell? Then I just keept upgrading and spamming my basic unit. Didn´t need to do anything else.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Not sure if im missing something
I always start defense games on easy to get a feel of the game and what I can do before I excel, but I could hardly survive on easy. I'm normally a natural pro at defense games, but this was horrible. The enemies never stop, of give you a small period of time to think about what you will do. Towers get destroyed which cost a lost of money, so it all goes to waste pretty much. I continuously upgraded one of my guys to use him, and he kept getting destroyed. I once got to the front of their pyramid. I had to surrender the 5 or so times I tried this because I ran out of money and had no way of getting anymore. The enemies have the advantage because they instantly have more enemies, more money, and more defense. This was easy. I couldn't beat it nor get anywhere close. Make changes so that easy is.. well, easy. I felt like I was playing hard. Have a way of getting money nonstop, even if it's slow, so I don't have to keep surrendering just because my guys get destroyed instantly. Towers with heath wasn't a very good idea since it's so much money and they don't do a whole lot later on inless upgraded, but that doesn't mean that they can't get distroyed.
tl:dr, easy wasn't easy and I'm good at defense games. Make things more even or make it easier to survive on Easy. have better tutorial because I always study what I can do before I play a defense game, and the enemies instantly constantly rush me, so I have no time to think. Should be waves or something.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Fun and Intresting
unless i missed something, your towers have no names, or descriptions, it just says create tower, and the stats... are there a slow tower, or psn or multi shot?
other then that, its fun
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Nice little game
This was a pretty interesting game to play mostly because the graphics are good. The only problem is that it can get confusing on how you're supposed to build everything. I think you're originally just going to send the guys after you and the towers you build are more extra things. The best thing is how the graphics move so clearly in this game. It's stuff like this that makes freeworldgroup impressive. It's a bit of a headstratcher when you're the only one credited with it.
I also like it how the characters just seem to plop around the screen. You really have to be wise with your spending, because pyramids are quite expensive. There's also a good amount of detail into the background. Now I can't tell if the defense word is spelled with a "C" or "S". It was funny to see the little bullets fly out of the characters' bodies.

What has been your biggest challenge about achieving work-life balance while being a parent? What about the biggest reward?
Regardless of the pandemic, it takes a lot of mental energy to work with clients, and that can then take away how much energy is given to family life. Not being as patient with kids, pets, or your spouse can be a challenge because it should be backwards – family should get 100%. Striking a balance can be hard to achieve. It can also be challenging sharing parenting responsibilities while one adult is working in the home and another outside the home.
As far as reward goes, it is seeing things click and getting to experience children as they grow into who they are, since each child is different. Seeing their minds work in motion is so rewarding, especially during the pandemic when we have had more time at home with them.
What tools or tactics have been most helpful for you to stay productive?
One eye-opening tool is utilizing an Outlook calendar to block time for work tasks. It’s easy for calendars to get overwhelmed with meetings, so setting aside time for completing critical tasks can help with prioritization.
A big piece of staying productive in a management position isn’t necessarily a tool but a tactic – cutting yourself some slack. It can feel exhausting not seeing instant results from a leadership role. While the output might not be seen for a week or month like with individual contributor work, the trade-off is worth it. Another tip is to take some management tactics and apply them at home. For example, we schedule weekly meetings with employees, so start scheduling time every week with your family. The whole structure we provide at work can also be helpful at home.
Both of you are leaders at Nortal. How have you tried to be supportive or flexible with parents on your team during this time?
Being flexible with time at work to allow breaks during the day is crucial. As long as things are getting done in a timely manner and deadlines are met, employees should be encouraged to create a schedule that is best for them.
The best way to provide flexibility is by doubling down on communication, especially with clients to make sure they are perceiving us in a positive way. For example, an engineer on the team had a baby at the start of the pandemic, so he was working 10pm-2am on a daily basis. He would make sure to communicate with his internal team and the clients around his schedule and it went really well. It was all about setting expectations and managing the perceptions.
When the pandemic first hit, there were a lot of professionals who had anxiety around children and working remotely, especially around noises on video calls. We all wanted to have the same level of professionalism and this was an unrealistic expectation. For all of us, family is why we go to work – so hiding that is almost against why we work in the first place. Giving space to allow children to be present in meetings can be a relief for employees since the lines are blurred between work and home.
Has having the flexibility to work from home helped you balance parenting and work? If so, how?
On one hand, yes – because we are at home most of the time and we can guide our children through various situations. Before the pandemic, it would have been another caregiver essentially parenting children during the day so now it is extremely valuable to be able to work from home.
On the other hand, no. Prior to the pandemic, there was a buffer period with the commute which was time to decompress and noodle on a few things. It may only be a short time, but it puts a hard line in the sand between work and home. Without that separation, there is little opportunity to slow down before switching over to home life which can take away patience with parenting.
What advice would you give to parents that are struggling with childcare and work responsibilities?
Asking your boss for flexible work hours is a great place to start because this will make a difference. Having specific hours is a huge sense of pressure with the unpredictability of children. Another piece of advice would be asking for flexibility in interactions with children. We let dogs into the workplace, so children should be welcome as well. Using your people skills to be open and communicative with children if they pop into video calls can ease the pressure of having a high level of professionalism.
How do you see work-life balance changing or staying the same after the pandemic?
Since productivity has increased during the pandemic, it may stay the same in terms of having that flexibility to work from home. However, it may not be healthy for everyone and some employees may say “I need to be in the office”. There is currently no decompression time between work and life so the near-term may be less positive. Long-term, the remote workforce is going to have positive benefits because new best practices will come to light. Once we learn the full evolution of a remote workforce, there will be a more positive impact on work-life balance.
Providing employees with the flexibility to navigate a post-pandemic workforce is imperative for keeping people happy. Nortal’s work from home policy allows our employees to work in an environment that is best for their needs. To learn more about life at Nortal, visit our career page.

"Guru-Some" is the first segment from the 77th episode of The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.
While Timon is taking a nap, Pumbaa searches for some bugs. While doing so, the warthog says "If bugs didn’t hide, I couldn’t find them." This makes a zebra catch his attention and believe Pumbaa might be wise, which Timon disagrees, as he believes that he is the wise one.
Later, after Pumbaa catches a bug, he says "Bigger isn’t always better, but it’s always bigger." The zebra from earlier brings in two other zebras to show them how wise Pumbaa could be with his sayings. After shooing the zebras away, Timon believes they might be mooks for thinking that what Pumbaa just said makes him wise.
The next morning, Timon and Pumbaa get surrounded by the jungle’s animals, who are waiting for Pumbaa to say something. Pumbaa wakes up and says that morning is the first part of the rest of the day, much to the animals' surprise and delight. Timon tries to explain to the animals that Pumbaa is not very wise, he is a mook, but the animals still believe the warthog is wise and begin to do whatever Pumbaa says.
Timon later talks to Pumbaa about his sayings, telling him what they are doing to the animals. When the animals show up, Timon notices a lizard writing a book about Pumbaa’s wisdom, which the reptile will make many copies of, much to Timon’s disbelief.
The animals are now in line to have Pumbaa write down his advice on their books on the his wisdom. Later, when Pumbaa says that life is like a box of rocks, the animals begin to argue over what the warthog means. This leads to them to split up into two groups and have a war. Seeing the chaos Pumbaa’s sayings caused, Pumbaa decides to come up with something even wiser to say.
Pumbaa tells the animals that they can neither say “toy boat” three times fast, nor tickle themselves, making them realize that the warthog is not really wise, he is in fact a mook. Timon is proud of Pumbaa for trying to convince the animals that he is a mook just to keep them from fighting, which Pumbaa points out that it was a wise thing to do.
• The Lion Guard episode "Bunga the Wise" would later bear a resemblance to this episode, as the animals take advice from one of the main characters (Pumbaa and Bunga) as they are believed to be wise.

Proven Strategies To Get New Business Leads
Are you a new business owner challenged with finding new customers in a competitive world? Or maybe you’ve been doing business for some time, and now it’s become slow. Now matter what, you should have a greater understanding on how to get more customers through lead generation. The following article contains tips that will help you do just that.
If you are employing digital ads, create landing pages for visitors who can be your potential leads. It can be more effective to have landing pages that go to the ad. You are being specific to their information needs. This will help you to maximize your overall leads.
You can generate leads using incentives, because a lot of folks will act when there is an incentive for them to do so. For instance, offering something people need anyway often steers them toward your pitch. Give them something to make them want to get your offer so you can generate a lot more leads.
The buying cycle will affect your lead generation attempts. Consumers usually think about an offer and do some research in regard to it prior to deciding whether or not to buy. By targeting offers to the cycle, it will make it more likely for get the sales you want.
If people think you’re trustworthy, they will become a lead. Don’t use ads that are over-the-top. Try basing offers on the facts that show how valuable your goods can be to the customer. Be transparent and you should find people find you more trustworthy.
Privacy issues need to be dealt with immediately. Remember to pay attention to those who wish not to receive incentives or offers. It’s a waste to send things those to people that aren’t buying, but also those that want some privacy.
You want to definitely know that you have obtained original leads. As you go through the process, you might not consider the possibility of duplication, but it is important. It is not uncommon for the same leads to show up many times during the lead generation process. You want to be as diverse as possible so that you can maximize the opportunity.
Make sure that your landing pages are targeted and direct. Using landing pages for the targeted ads that your leads see instead of general websites is much more effective. This will give them exactly what they want. Tie that in with a contact form and you’ve got an effective way to generate leads.
Being a success in business usually depends on the amount of customers you can persuade to buy your items. Getting people to buy things is the most difficult part. Fortunately, you have all the tools right here. This can be done by anyone, and when the right advice is used, your business goals can be met.

Shain Explains The 'BUCKWILD' Dynamics Of A Backhoe Roller Coaster [Video]
When you're a kid, a lively imagination can turn a tree house into a magical castle or potted plants into royal subjects. When you're an adult, having a little free time and hulking construction equipment at your disposal can turn an excavator into the great Sissonville Roller Coaster. Shain from "BUCKWILD" took some time to explain the mechanics behind his self-designed ride in the video below. If it's any indication of what else is lurking in his backyard, we might have an entire makeshift amusement park on our hands.
"'Round here, we don't have amusement parks or everything," Shain says in the clip, before jumping on into the claw and signaling the operator. Then: Mayhem. We can't say we've spun around in any sort of John Deere equipment, but Shain definitely makes a convincing argument in its favor. "I want in this!" he finally shouts out before dropping into the dirty pond below. Might not be a real carnival, but hopefully there's some funnel cake waiting for him back at the house?
Check out the coolest ride this side of the Mississippi, and be sure to tune in to the "BUCKWILD" premiere tomorrow night at 10/9c!

The TV's USB port either provides enough power for the PSC, or it doesn't. If it works it works, you're not "straining" anything that will cause further trouble in the long run.

Definitely! Music rights are enough of a mess on their own. Also, rights to the music (the composition of notes) and rights to the song (the lyrics) and rights to that specific recording of the specific vocal performance can all be totally separate rights which would need to be individually tracked down and paid for again.

The labyrinthine rights issues, most likely.
If you're an actor in a TV commercial nowadays, your contract would probably include the advertiser's right to show it across all sorts of media, existing and future, forever and ever, amen. If you're an actor in a TV commercial from a few decades or more ago, you probably signed away the rights to your performance to be shown on television for a set amount of time (and you may have even been paid per-showing in some manner) before the film reels and tapes got packed away in an archive by "top men" and forgotten about. Commercials were made to be shown for a while, and then tossed when they grew stale and got replaced with the next new one.
So when a company wants to make legit use of an old ad, they might have to go back and track down actors and others who had any rights involved and renegotiate a new contract to the existing performance. Said actors (or their estates/heirs) might be impossible to track down. The ones who can be found may demand more than you want to spend, or may just refuse outright. The sheer work needed to do all this searching may itself be just too expensive or time-consuming for anyone to bother.
That's why the vast majority of old ads available for nostalgic nerds (like us on this sub) to watch nowadays are on dodgy online videos ripped and compiled from old tapes by enthusiasts with nothing to do with the advertisers or networks.

Comment 7 for bug 427190

okay, tested a script by turning on output buffering, echo a few things including date and time, get the contents of the buffer and write it to a file then flush the buffer to display it to the browser.
When firefox presents the download box it also doesn't write the data into the file, otherwise it writes to the file and outputs to the browser as normal.
It seems to happen a lot less frequently with a simple script like that than it does it with my more complex scripts.

Base Smash Up
Use With
Tricksters, Princesses, Kittens, Ignobles
The Mushroom Kingdom has the ability to move your one of your opponents' minions to here. Why would you move them onto your base, especially one worth 5 VP? Aren't we trying to win this base ourselves?
Mushroom Kingdom's movement offers a lot of versatility, mostly because, as a base ability, it is nearly unblockable. The only exception to this is when minions cannot move or be moved here. You can use other players' strengths against them and use their power as a means to reach the breakpoint faster when combined with the power you play this turn. For Tricksters, particularly with fewer bases and fewer players, you can block one base with Leprechaun and funnel minions from the other base to here. The two Enshrouding Mists can also be used to play more minions here, and you can choose when to pull over those of your opponent and finish the base.
Princesses have a similar combination with Snow White. You can use the base's ability to pull a minion of your opponent, then use her talent to pull another Princess. If the King Minion of an opponent is out, fifteen of the twenty power can be supplied with one single card, making for an easy 5 VPs with a little more effort. Additionally, the Princesses can then move the minion off the base with Some Day My Prince Will Come.
Control based factions such as Kittens and Ignobles have some interesting plays here, particularly the latter. Since the Ignobles can give control to other players, you can pull the minion over while it is theirs and then take control back as a way of getting more power on the base, while still getting the extra cards, minions or actions that come with giving up control. Kittens can pull other minions and then take control of them for a quick power swing.

Hot Cartography Takes
from your friendly neighborhood cartographer
The New York Times published another neat 2016 election map. Yawn. Cartography Twitter has been embroiled in as close to a vicious battle as we can muster which is to say it’s been very polite. The principle criticism seems to be that this map floating around the internet is ugly, not particularly useful and perpetuates some dumb myths about the election. Cartographers are artists, data nerds and geographers which means we tend to run liberal and the 2016 election was a painful and irresistible data set to obsess over. This map is proof that we should stop because it’s cartographic masturbation and it’s making us dumber.
While thematically identical to dozens of maps made in the past, what makes this map different is the granularity of the data. Before you could generally only get county results and this map shows results to voting districts which is vastly more precise and useful to political science nerds and Nate Silver.
We know urban areas are blue and midsize cities are blue but even very small towns in deep Trump country like Beckley WV are shown to be substantially more liberal than surrounding areas. You can really see that towns everywhere regardless of size tend to be Clinton supporting whereas rural areas are Trump supporting and that might be as interesting a finding as the notable exceptions which include the Cotton Belt, Indian reservations and Redding CA. Plenty of other maps have shown us this and I recommend looking up Kenneth Field to see some good examples of them. One of my favorites is 3D.
As this map loads, the page asks the audience a question that sets the theme: “Do You Live in a Political Bubble?” It’s an interesting question that the map does not do an effective job answering. One could conclude from this map that liberals never have to travel far to meet a conservative but conservatives are vastly more likely to live in a place where one would have to drive multiple hours to visit a district that voted differently from them. The most securely ideologically isolated are conservatives (at least geographically) despite the popular narrative to the contrary. But this isn’t altogether true.
As I see it, the problem with this map (in addition to the fact that the “3D” function is rubbish) is that for all its granularity it has no visual indication of population density at all and that’s a big deal to answering the Bubble Question. Elections are decided by people, not land. From my liberal bubble in Oakland, the map tells me that the nearest Trump supporting voting district is a 15 minute drive away without traffic.
A.) “without traffic” lol
B.) That Trump voting district I’m directed to reported just 33 votes, of which 18 went to Trump.
C.) Choropleth maps are good at showing vote margins, not actual populations of different voters. Since my district has thousands of voters, I can still probably find more Trump voters in my own neighborhood than in the closest Trump-voting district. Am I still in a bubble? Relevant XKCD.
D.) Nationally, Trump support is greatest where fewer people live which makes them more geographically isolated.
E.) Clinton won the popular vote by several million nationally but many districts were very, very close.
None of these points are adequately addressed by the map and all of them, I would argue, are important to a complete understanding of the political leanings of different regions. Any election map seeking to present a fair representation of how the United States electorate actually voted that does not clearly depict a popular vote win for Clinton is misleading and sloppy at best.
Then again, as I’ve written before, if you don’t like a map, maybe that says more about you than it says about the map. Maps have intention and maps have specific audiences. Andy isn’t wrong here and Jen gave me a real moment of pause; the map is useful for some people. The reason cartographers like this map is because the data is better than we’ve seen before and that’s something we really care about. The reason Andy is ambivalent is because the Bubble Question is less about results and more about political culture and the map does a decent job of generalizing political attitudes which is a useful thing to know even in isolation of the election results. The reason I still don’t like this map though is because I don’t think it accomplishes what it set out to do which is to show how politically divided the country is politically and geographically. Population density and total population are important in answering that question. While the map does show interesting things about small towns that weren’t evident in older maps, it does so at the cost of reintroducing the Myth of the Landslide Election. My take may have been a bit hot. It’s not a BAD map, but it’s not a particularly good one for general audiences. One of the things I love about cartography is that the data is only the backbone of the story. Style is the real muscle and flesh. That same data could have been used to ask more pointed questions that take better advantage of that data.
• What if you compared voter turn out rates so you can see if an electorate is representative of the ideology of the general population? Since our voting turnout rates are very low, it would be interesting to see if motivated political minorities are electing politicians that are generally unfavorable to their district’s constituencies as seen from polling data. Do blue state Republicans vote as often as red state Democrats?
• What if you had two maps side by side that show districts extruded in 3D by total population of Trump voters and of Clinton voters on separate maps instead of showing the vote margin between them so you see that the total number of Trump voters in urban areas is still larger than the total number of Trump voters in rural areas?
• What if you could show the elective power of each individual vote weighted by senator, member of congress or electoral college vote?
• The New York Times map shows that even very small towns tend to vote for democrats. Is there a threshold population density after which a district is more likely to vote for a Democrat or a Republican? Could you determine the population density of each district and create a distribution plotted against the electoral result margin and see which towns are disproportionately liberal or conservative for their densities?
Of course, none of these hypothetical maps effectively answer the Bubble Question either but they’re probably more interesting maps than simply republishing the same results in the same style with slightly better data. This deserved to be a republishing of the old maps but it probably doesn’t deserve much publicity beyond that without additional context. At conferences, all good research presentations end with a call for more research and all good maps call for more maps that better seek to describe a very, very complicated world. No one map can do the job. This map occupies an important but very crowded space in a much more interesting ecosystem of graphics, data and truth.

What is Green Coffee?
What actually is actually green coffee? Green coffee bean extract just arises from the coffee beans that haven’t been actually baked and are actually completely fresh. When they are first gathered, Coffee beans are actually normally green. It is actually simply the roasting process that changes them to the brownish colour that our company all know.
The roasting procedure modifications the flavour that is made from the bean. It is actually the roasting process that generates the fantastic coffee flavour our team all really love and understand.

The natural green coffee bean contains various other factors, a lot of which can have favorable impact on your wellness.
Green Coffee Active Components
Both vital energetic ingredients that come typically in green coffee beans are actually high levels of caffeine, and chlorogenic acids. Sadly the roasting procedure destroys the chlorogenic acids, which is why it isn’t located in ordinary brownish, baked coffee beans.
It is actually mostly the chlorogenic acids that are said to give the numerous of the wellness advantages of green coffee extracts. Chlorogenic acids are actually all-natural materials with strong anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory results.
Just like ‘ordinary’ coffee, there are many other crucial nutrients in green coffee like riboflavin, pantothenic acid, manganese, niacin, potassium and also magnesium mineral. I knew coffee really did not simply sample great – it is actually additionally great for me!

The potential health and wellness benefits of green coffee bean extract are actually quite wide. Actually chlorogenic acids may aid decrease your threat for selection illness like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. There is enhancing proof that chlorogenic acids take such as antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic homes.
Chlorogenic acids can easily reduce the break down of carbohydrates in the digestive tract. This is actually especially essential is reducing the process of carbohydrates being actually broken through the body right into sweets, which are actually then stored as excess fat.
The results from a research with 12 healthy volunteers revealed that chlorogenic acid lowered the absorption of blood sugar by 7%. Comparable studies were actually finished with over weight folks that discovered the supplement helped people shed 5.4 even more extra pounds (2.5 kilograms) than the inactive medicine, or fake tablet.

Can Green Coffee For Weight Loss
Ever since there has been actually a couple of researches carried out on people.

Studies have shown that caffeine can easily increase the rate of metabolism through 3-11% and also boost fat deposits burning by up to 29%!
Are There Any Negative effects?
By the end of the day green coffee is actually still similar to the coffee that our team currently understand. It includes caffeine, which may result in some negative effects in some people. These can vary coming from an indigestion and also headaches, to troubles sleeping.
These side impacts are actually the very same as ‘common’ coffee or even caffeine. Once again these are actually symptoms you will understand currently from ordinary coffee drinking.
If you select to take a green coffee extract supplement, to drop weight and increase wellness, after that you need to follow the highly recommended dose.
How to Get Green Coffee Extract?
Thus there is an effortless straightforward method and also a difficult (probably negative tasting) means!
Green Coffee may be consumed in an amount of types. You may purchase the fresh coffee beans straight and generate your personal all-natural drinks. This carries out involved steaming the beans, and also allowing them rest to remove the organic ingredients. Lots of people also find the flavour undesirable, given the coffee beans have certainly not been actually roasting.
The removal procedure from fresh beans is likewise not exact. It’s difficult to recognize how a lot of the energetic elements you are taking in to increase any sort of health and wellness impacts.
A variety of types of powders could be acquired, again to ensure you can easily compose your own beverages to eat the extract. It still doesn’t resolve the flavour trouble. Lots of folks include the grain to a variety of juices attempting to disguise the bitter flavour.
Without a doubt the absolute most simplest way is to buy it in capsule or tablet kind.

How Do I Color A Banner In Minecraft
Minecraft game delivers a platform where people can make things that motivate them. Even the most superficial motivation might make a very creative and productive outlet. The incredible thing is that the items in the game are readily available and accessible. In this article, we shall talk everything about banners in Minecraft, including how to color a banner.
In Minecraft, banners are decorative blocks custom-created to look precisely the way a player wants. Coloring banners and everything about banners is also an opportunity in Minecraft that enhances creativity. We can say that Minecraft has dramatically captured the minds and imaginations of kiddies and even adults. Let us start by understanding the art of making and coloring a banner before exploring the types of banners available in Minecraft and their designs.
How To Color A Beautiful Minecraft Banner
Color A Beautiful Minecraft Banner
Coloring a banner is the simplest thing to do in Minecraft. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Put an uncolored banner into a crafting table and a piece of dye.
2. The banner and the dye will instantly combine to form a banner of the same color as the dye.
How To Change The Color Of Your Banner
Stick to the steps listed below on how to change the color of your banner, also known as the image of the header;
1. Get on the designing tab.
2. Press customize: This is done to expand the bunch of choices for customizing your theme.
3. Press Header Image to select an image that will be the header’s background.
4. Press the header background to select a color for the Header section. The color chosen can only be seen if no background image is selected.
5. Suppose you want to remove the header background image, press the ×, which is at the top of the thumbnail image on the header image.
There is a relationship between the header image and the header color customization. If a different theme is selected, the chosen background image does not apply automatically to the newly established theme.
How To Make A Banner
How To Make A Banner
Here is how to make a banner in the Minecraft game:
1. Ensure the top of a Crafting table Grid is two-thirds filled using wool blocks of the same color.
2. Find the middle tile of the final row and place a wooden stick there.
3. Pop an existing banner into a crafting grid alongside another blank banner of the same color. This is done to duplicate the current banner.
You can place the banner in the ground or against a flat surface or attach it to a shield. Place the banner and shield side by side in a crafting grid.
Note That:
1. The color that you have chosen will determine the color banner.
2. Once a banner is attached to a shield, its appearance may slightly disfigure.
Minecraft Banner Designs
The banner crafting system is relatively restrictive as compared to, for instance, designing Minecraft skins. The illustration of each type of banner can only be created from at least six patterns of different colors. The colors must be overlapping one another. Over time, Minecraft developers and player base have found several ways to create marvelous banner designs that a player can use to decorate palaces and towers.
Below are some of the most excellent Minecraft banner designs:
1. Tardis Banner
Tardis banners are among the popular banner designs in the Minecraft game ever. It is also easily visible. You may wonder why? Well, it is almost the precise replica of an incredibly recognizable advert for those who have ever peered sidelong at the Television during a newscasting show or an episode. The Tardis banner also symbolizes exploration and discovery.
2. Wither Banner
If you are a Minecraft fan, you will be amazed forever and surprised when you see how Minecraft players create recognizable images using the banner patterns as their removal. The Wither banner is made by using a creeper’s face with skull and crossbones overlapping one another. In this case, the creeper’s eye is the two side heads. When you have a glance at it, it is very inventive.
3. Planet Banner
The colors; blue, yellow, and green are mashed together by the six layers in this Planet banner. They are smashed into a startlingly persuading planet. The preferable one is the square one. It makes more sense in the game of Minecraft and its world, not strictly less.
4. Bowl Of Rice Banner
The Bowl of Rice banner is probably one of the favorite banners for most players. You can easily recognize the Bowl of Rice banner by observing and identifying the chopsticks. The chopsticks are a masterpiece making them recognizable even from a distance. For those who love rice as their best meal, this is the banner to behold.
5. Nether Portal Banner
It is one of the understandable and easiest banners to make. This is because it has only 4 layers, including the black outline. Interestingly, 3 simple patterns overlaid together can create an uneven portal pattern.
6. Villager Banner
This is a visible and recognizable Minecraft banner even if it is observed from a distance.
7. Purple Lightsaber Banner
The most delightful thing about the Purple Lightsaber banner is you can adapt to it to create any color of Lightsaber you wish. Additionally, you can be partial to your favorite color.
8. Enderman Eyes Banner
The creativity involved in using the layered patterns makes Enderman Eyes possible. This is quite amazing. This banner would best fit an end farm.
9. Pirate Banner
Using skull and crossbones, it is straightforward to develop a simple Pirate banner in the Minecraft game. What discerns the Pirate banner from the rest is the scarf and hat. It looks marvelous and gives the skull a more intimidating sense of status when observed. You can alter the background color of the Pirate banner to any color that you want. This is a bonus in Minecraft.
10. Sunshine Banner
The sunshine banner creates a complete topography of the 6 wells thought out layers. Starting from the tress at the bottom to the mountain tower to the burning sun overhead, indeed it expresses a sense of tranquility and is the most beautiful banner compared to other banners.
11. Lightning Storm Banner
Suppose you observe the image; a Lightning Storm banner depicts a storm cloud setting loses a single bolt of lightning onto the ground below. If you take a glimpse closely, you will notice that it is a small section of the brick pattern available in the loom. Take this, for instance; switching around the colors used here could be very fun undoubtedly fascinating. You can decide to have black lightning on a scorched red ground for an even more stunning image.
12. Rabbit Banner
This is an outstanding, downy, White Rabbit banner. A good number of runs and players might not believe that creating the Rabbit banner given only 6 layers is possible. However, it is a suitable banner for anyone who wants to keep from their banner’s striking and frightening route and would like to choose the cute instead.
All in all, creating banners straight from scratch is such an exciting task. This breaks the monotony, and everyone enjoys every bit of the Minecraft experience. Minecraft boasts over 150 different types of blocks. These blocks can be used differently, making players and fans enjoy the game since there’s a lot to do including banners. Why don’t you go ahead and have fun?

Goals & Focus for 2017
I debated about writing a post about my goals and focus for 2017. Because, well, I know posts about goals for the new year are so terribly corny and cliche. But I promise not to make these one of those posts.
It's super important to me to make goals. I strongly believe in personal growth. And not just for the new year, but at any time. But I do like the new year. It's like opening a fresh notebook.
And this is the first year where I feel like Mr. T and I can just be. Last year we were just moving into this house and Mama C was living with us. The year before that we were planning our move from NYC. The year before that we were newly married. This year, we're just Mr. T and Jess.
So here's what I'm thinking about my goals and focus for 2017.
Everyone is talking about their word for the year. I have two: positive and balance.
I've spent the better part of the past couple of years being so negative. Part of it was because I was struggling to love myself. Part of it was because I've made so many huge changes. But a lot of it was because I just lost the ability to be positive. I couldn't really see the positive in anything.
So this year, I'm going to work to bring positivity into my life. To see the good things amongst the bad and in the bad. To see bad things as a learning experience. And to not be so damn hard on myself.
I have NO idea how to balance anything, you guys. If I'm responsible, I don't know how to have fun. If I want to give myself a treat, I order the whole DQ menu (five nights in a row). If I'm working hard on my shop, everything else suffers. If I worry about everything else, my shop suffers.
And, frankly, it's annoying the shit out of me. My lack of balance is largely what's responsible for my unhappiness.
And a lot of it is because of my need for perfectionism. Because perfectionists don't know how to balance anything. It's all or nothing.
But this is wreaking havoc on my whole life. I need to learn that I can be a little bit of both things sometimes. I can do a little bit of both things sometimes. I can do all of the things sometimes. But I cannot do all of the things all of the time.
Overall and more than anything, I'm going to give myself permission to be who I am this year. If I'm real with you, I've found that a huge struggle since getting married. I feel like I'm pressuring myself to be the gal I was when Mr. T and I were dating. I'm also pressuring myself to be this picture perfect wife. I want to have it all together all of the time. And if I don't I feel terribly awful. And that's the real struggle. That's the real problem.
Life is shitty sometimes. But it's beautiful too. And I'm a mess sometimes. But I'm beautiful too. And sometimes I really have no idea what I'm doing - in life, with my shop, or in my marriage. And I'm determined to find a way to embrace all of the beautiful shit that I can.
And, finally. I want to make a difference this year. As I shared around election time, I was heartbroken. But I also realized that I don't do enough. I didn't do enough. I don't know if I can ever really do enough because, to be honest, I don't know what enough is. But I'm going to do my best to try. I've pledged to donate 50 cents of every sale to Planned Parenthood as a start. And Mr. T and I have vowed to be more active in politics and our community. And I'm also going to spread as much love as I can because I think we need way more of it in this world (and it totally can't hurt, right?).

On a new episode of The Audible, Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel answer a listener's question about Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops possibly being in play for the USC job and explain why that job doesn't make sense for Stoops, but he very easily could be pulled out of Norman by the NFL.
It's just a matter of timing.

Imitation Simulation: Jerseys, Cash and Who?
January 31, 2014 Leave a comment
Endorsed as an “authentic replica”, an athlete’s jersey is expensive fabric gold. Part gem of memory and portal to a hero, it is a piece of clothing defined through multiple points of meaning. “Did he wear it in the game?” If so its value is far greater. “Is it dirty, bloody or torn?” Such tarnish is not filth: one might see that blood as liquid, reddened gold.
These jerseys are replicas of those worn by professional athletes. Not simply generic, standard issue, they come with the name of the athlete labeled on the back. One is “buying the player’s jersey”. What purpose is there in wearing another person’s jersey? Does John Doe, wearing Lebron’s jersey work to imitate LeBron? Is it support or something deeper?
Jerseys that are endorsed by the NBA or the specific team hold a certain level of credo. What’s marketed as “authentic” is a realistic imitation of those worn in the game. Maybe the fabric is similar or the graphics are exactly as the team desires. These jerseys are expensive; though, and imitation jerseys, not endorsed by either group, exist and sell for far less.
What do we make of these “imitations of imitations”? Do these fakeries work to destroy the market? If any jersey works than why buy the best? Is it to support the team? One would provide more assistance in buying the imitation jersey for much less and mailing the difference to the team.
Title Tales
January 26, 2014 Leave a comment
Legitimacy is a difficult nut to crack. “Too legit to quit”? Then your skills should go unquestioned and success always assumed. To be “successful” is a relative state. In those whose dreams have been accomplished and whose goals achieved it’s easy to assume it was guaranteed. Far harder to consider those whose dreams went unrealized. The successful don’t dream more accurately.
One’s dreams are not another. In the accomplishment of one exists a source of shame for another. Cook a great meal and your status as a chef is established. Lose the butler and the home and the service known for ages and successful meals are more reminders than indulgences.
For many the battle to achieve legitimacy is difficult. Our terms for certain roles in society are vague. What is a musician? Can one be called a writer if he simply scrolls some sentences? Must a writer be published to be considered a writer? These minor details must be defined by the individual. For some the act of writing is enough, while for others publication is foundation. Ultimately each individual must come to define life’s titles as he or she sees fit. Language fails us…again.
Action is Not Progress
January 24, 2014 Leave a comment
We often mistake action for progress. Spin the wheels and chase the tail: it all feels like we’re getting somewhere, but driving the car around the cul-de-sac and swimming laps inside a pool is simply simulation. For endeavors where a change is needed we need to do something more, something harder, to reach the goals we sense we have.
A disconnect between knowing what we need and doing what needs to be done is often where we fall. Emotion muddies the water and rapidly our confident sense of action becomes shriveled to inaction. In the corner hides the shrunken dreams of a warrior that was.
Perhaps we might measure leaders by their ability to disregard their doubts. For those who can charge forward a great existence lingers. Of course this charge is relative as both evil and angels achieve power in such striving. For every hero is a Hitler.
For many this feeling of doing something is enough. A constant stream of attempts might feel like actual effort but until we actually face the facts and fight the war we’re merely playing games. Impressively skilled at complicating our existence, we each possess the equally tragic and impressive ability of doubting what we want and sabotaging effort.
Shirt Speak
January 12, 2014 2 comments
Stumble through a local shopping center and an onslaught of symbolic theater takes place. Every article is a statement: why did the person wear that? Why that item, why that color? We work to make sense of these other people as a way to establish a reality. Our world is merely a construction of our imagination: far too much remains unknown and we’ve little to control. How does one perceive malevolence? Does the baddy always wear the black hat? Though our methods of detecting danger are varied, we often seek an outlier in behavior.
Despite our limited abilities, we still strive to find hidden intentions revealed by fashion. Though we cannot know the inner workings of another we seem confident in thinking their choice of clothing has some power. Is the key to their inner psyche in the selection of their t-shirt? How much is revealed in choice of color? Do the baggy pants mean she’s upset? What about his length of hair- does that mean that he’s angry? Silly as these connection seem they remain common and profound. No matter their lack of depth, evaluations and judgements have power and many have been falsely summarized by others on the basis of silly, minor features.
Certainly our clothing says a lot about who we are but how should another perceive what we wear as us? How much of our inner world is expressed in our clothing? How would our world be different if we all wore the outfit? Would we gradually develop other means of expression and evaluation?
Dreadful Drive

Given that its main ingredient is human imagination, paranoia is the most powerful of human motivators. Threaten the individual with an existential crisis and desperate measures are guaranteed to ensue. It’s an evil meal to muster: whether cooked for relationships, careers or reputations, paranoia winds itself from one idea into another.
Paranoia gains significant gusto from its use of human creativity. An initial situation is exaggerated and expanded so that minor problems become crisis. Twinged with paranoia the most minor of missteps quickly becomes conspiratorial plot. What one gains from such exaggeration seems likely tied to primal ways of life. Overzealous worry liked helped the human being hunted, but in today’s world we exist in a world of endless minor threats. Ambiguous language, both textual and body, create countless moments to second guess and wonder. For many, the daily minutia of corporate ways becomes a greatest drama.
How can one cope with paranoia? Its likely impossible given its wiring to our primal states. We may work to rationalize or to question, but we’ve little defense against our ancient tools. What protected us for centuries, and made it possible for our genes to exist these thousands of years later, was never cautious confidence. To be alive today is to be a latest link in a long chain of survivors. Perhaps we’re just the latest edition of the paranoid humanoid: always worried, but breathing nonetheless.
Trickiness of Genius
January 7, 2014 Leave a comment
Genius is suspicious. Federal prosecutors, in mounting their accusations against JP Morgan Chase, suggested they should have “known better” because much of Madoff’s magic was beyond the normal ways and means. Magic tricks and extraordinary skills are just two pieces of that odd wonder we call genius. In those in whom we deem it, it is an ethereal feature where one’s abilities are so far stretched beyond our sense of reality that we aim to give it room.
A common response to genius is to let it be. Dangerous are the actions that stifle genius or otherwise limit its potential. In her biography, A Beautiful Mind, Sylvia Nasar highlights a similar reaction. The story details the response of John Nash’s family in light of his battles with schizophrenia. Fearful of hindering his mind and denying the world of the great discoveries it was likely to find, they were skeptical of treatment and preferred instead to allow the troubled genius to remain in struggle.
Genius is a tricky thing. Often seen as a powerful force beyond human understanding, many are fearful of hindering its full blossom. One wonders whether JP Morgan Chase saw in Madoff the fetid fumes of genius. Might their failure to act be less about willing negligence and more a factor of some awe for potential genius? Maybe it was less about their easy profits and the sketchy details, maybe they were less interested in seeing how the sausage was produced. In the end they, and all who proffer genius status on the undeserving, suffer for their foolishness: Madoff, not a genius, was merely sneaky crook.
Genius is a tricky thing. Mysterious in nature, we are quick to gift it to another and when rightfully assigned the benefits are endless. Shakespeare writes Macbeth and Rembrandt paints The Night Watch. Miss the mark and something other happens: genius imitated is disaster waiting to happen.

Moon Knight Producer Responds to 'Evil' Jake Lockley Backlash (Exclusive)
Oscar Isaac, Jake Lockley, Moon Knight
By Russ Milheim
The biggest and most important element of the recent Oscar Isaac Disney+ series Moon Knight is undoubtedly its depiction of DID—also known as dissociative identity disorder. It’s the very foundation for the character, as Marc Spector has to come to grips with his alternate persona Steven Grant over the course of the show. Not only that, but he has to learn to peacefully coexist as they both navigate being possessed by an Egyptian Moon God.
Using mental health issues as story elements in the way they are here can be a hit-or-miss type situation. Thankfully, it seems that Moon Knight has been hitting all the right notes for the audiences so far.
However, in the final moments of the season finale, some began to worry. The post-credits scene revealed Jake Lockley to the world, as he’s presented as still being buddy-buddy with Khonshu, while also putting a bullet through Arthur Harrow’s head.
The problem? Well, many believe he is being set up to be the secret evil persona of the bunch—a common trope in media, such as movies like Split, that is often disliked and criticized heavily for stigmatizing DID. So do fans have to worry about Marvel Studios falling into this trap?

In an exclusive interview with The Direct's Russ Milheim, Moon Knight head writer and executive producer Jeremy Slater commented on all of the fan complaints that Jake Lockley might fall into the evil DID personality trope, while also answering how Steven and Marc balanced their scales with Jake on the sidelines.
So why did the writers decide to wait to touch upon Jake Lockley in the first place? Slater made it clear how he felt that "once you introduce a third [persona] into the fray" of this introductory story, "it becomes impossible:"
“My initial pitch to Marvel was that three alters, three personalities sort of clashing with each other over the space of six hours is going to be way too chaotic and hectic. That it’s possible to tell a story like this and build a really strong emotional bond between two people, between Marc [Spector] and Steven [Grant], and really make the audience care about that relationship. But once you introduce a third into the fray, it becomes impossible. Like, Steven’s sacrifice at the end of 105 wouldn’t have any sort of weight to it if he had Jake there to sort of console him. So right from the beginning, I said [that] the first season could only concentrate on these two and we’ll find fun ways to tease the existence of Jake so that the fans recognize it. Marvel was really supportive of that approach right from the beginning. Then, in the course of our [writer’s] room, we started talking like, ‘what’s the best way to tease Jake? What’s going to really get the audience about a potential season two, or a movie, or another appearance down the line. ”

He then went on to mention how "[he's] seen people on Twitter unhappy" because they feel he's "falling into sort of the evil-alter trope," something he feels that "[nobody knows] nearly enough about... to make a determination like that:"
“The idea of bringing in Jake [Lockley], and not having him be evil, because I don’t—I’ve seen people on Twitter unhappy that they think Jake is sort of falling into sort of the evil-alter trope that you see in movies like Split and things like that. From my perspective, we don’t know nearly enough about Jake to make a determination like that... ultimately, whoever takes over the reins of the story next gets to decide that, but [also] from my perspective, the interesting question about Jake is, what is his relationship with Khonshu? Why is he so willing to do these horrible things in service of Khonshu. Why is he the one guy who sort of believes in Khonshu’s mission? What does he know that our heroes don't? I think there’s a lot of questions like that that haven’t necessarily been answered."
Slater went on to admit how he felt "that making Jake a generic evil guy would probably be the least exciting, or least interesting, direction to take that character in the future," and held his ground on how he "[think[s] calling him evil would be a mistake at this stage in the game:"
"I think that making Jake a generic evil guy would probably be the least exciting, or least interesting, direction to take that character in the future. So, I have no idea where Jake goes from here, and which writers and directors will bring him to life, but, I think there’s a lot of potentials. I think we’ve only teased the existence of this character at this point. We kind of still don’t know anything about him… I don’t think he’s evil. It’s Marvel’s decision, not mine, but I think calling him evil would be a mistake at this stage in the game.”
Avoiding the Trope Pitfalls

Many are no doubt thrilled to hear how Slater talked about his thoughts on Jake. Simply to know how aware he is of the trope, and his hope to avoid falling into it, was probably reassuring for most.
Hopefully, whoever takes over the reins of Marc/Steven/Jake’s story next will be just as aware of how to avoid the trope. Fingers crossed that Marvel Studios as a creative whole will continue to avoid the mistakes many believe the film Split, an M. Night Shyamalan project with James McAvoy, made and continue on a more nuanced and faithful path in representing DID, in a similar vein to media like Mr. Robot.
From the sounds of it, Jake will probably end up being the protective big brother type: the person who is willing to do the hard stuff so that both Marc and Steven don’t have to see or know about it. Sadly, fans will have to wait an unspecified amount of time before they get to find out just what type of person this mystery third persona is.
Moon Knight is now streaming on Disney+.

Paul Krugman Discovers Marx (and Misses the Point)
by Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012 at 4:37 AM
In his recent New York Times op-ed piece, Princeton professor and regular columnist for The New York Times, Paul Krugman observed: The American economy is still, by most measures, deeply depressed. But corporate profits are at record high. It’s simple: profits have surged as a share of national income, while wages and other labor compensation are down. The pie isn’t growing the way it should — but capital is doing fine by grabbing an ever-larger slice, at labor’s expense.
And then he adds with almost shocked incredulity: “Wait — are we really back to talking about capital versus labor? Isn’t that an old-fashioned, almost Marxist sort of discussion, out of date in our modern information economy?”
This is exactly the conflict that Marx identified as the fundamental, inescapable contradiction of the capitalist system that would eventually create the conditions of its downfall: there is a tendency for the owners of businesses, the capitalists, to accumulate ever-vaster wealth while the people who work for them experience a declining standard of living.
Marx supported this conclusion by offering a description of the fundamental operating mechanism of capitalism. Capitalism is based on the principle of private ownership and competition. Private businesses compete with one another for customers, and those who fail to attract a sufficient number eventually perish. But in order to attract customers, businesses must maximize the quality of their product while minimizing its price. If two products embody the same quality but one is cheaper, customers, in pursuit of their self-interest, will purchase the cheaper version, all other factors being equal.
This means that capitalists must constantly attempt to minimize the price of their product simply for the sake of their own survival. If a business devises a way to lower costs, it can capture the market. But, as Marx pointed out, labor costs are a huge factor in determining the price of a product. So those businesses that minimize labor costs can prevail in the dog-eat-dog world of capitalism. For this reason, a downward pressure on wages and benefits is always operating to one degree or another.
But Krugman made no reference to this aspect of Marx’s analysis and instead identified two other factors that contribute to the growing inequality in wealth between capitalists and workers, both of which are discussed by Marx.
The first factor involves the introduction of technology into the labor process, i.e. “labor-saving” technology. In other words, machines replace workers or reduce the amount of skill required in the labor process. To give a current example, software has been developed that analyzes legal documents at a fraction of the time it takes lawyers while costing much less. Accordingly, many well-paid lawyers lose their jobs to such software. Living during the industrial age, Marx supplied many such examples.
Krugman referred to his second explanatory factor that increases inequality between capitalists and labor as the “monopoly power” of large corporations where “increasing business concentration could be an important factor in stagnating demand for labor, as corporations use their growing monopoly power to raise prices without passing the gains on to their employees.” Here Krugman is approaching the heart of Marxist theory.
Krugman is basically arguing that large corporations use their power to override purely economic trends and simply demand that their employees work for less. But this is precisely the point of Marxism, although from the other direction. Marx persistently argued that capitalism could not function without the willingness of the working class to perform the work. When workers organize and engage in collective action by withholding their labor, the balance of power shifts in favor of the workers who can then demand higher wages as a condition for their return to work, as the ILWU (International Longshore and Warehouse Union) recently did on the West Coast and the teachers did in Chicago.
Amazingly, Krugman never mentions the decline of organized labor as a huge factor explaining the decline of the standard of living of working people, adding that there has been so little discussion of these developments. But others, especially former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, have discussed these trends and identified the decline of labor as a major factor.
In the 1930s when labor unions were tenaciously fighting for working people, huge gains were made in terms of salaries and benefits. They conducted militant sit-down strikes and mobilized tens of thousands of people from the community to support labor’s struggles. Their successes were to a large degree responsible for the emergence of the so-called middle class that thrived in the 1950s and 1960s.
Workers who are organized, acting both collectively and forcefully, can change the economic landscape. But once organized labor becomes complacent and relaxes its guard and ceases to struggle, the laws of capitalism ineluctably grind down their gains and the growing inequality returns until workers again rise up.
Marx argued that eventually workers would see the futility of this repeating cycle, reject capitalism altogether, and begin to construct a socialist society built on entirely humanistic and democratic principles.
In a recent New York Times article on unionizing workers at the bottom of the pay scale, a union organizer was quoted as saying, “We must go back to the strategies of nonviolent disruption of the 1930s.” Currently organized labor is all but dying out. Strikes are like an endangered species. Rather than engaging in militant struggles, union members are urged to elect Democrats who then call on workers to accept sacrifices.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has called on working people “to fight like hell” to resist cuts to Social Security and Medicare. But these are just words. To this date, the unions have failed to mobilize their members to stage massive demonstrations across the country against cuts to these popular social programs – demonstrations that could culminate in hundreds of thousands of working people descending on Washington, D.C. to make their demands clear to the Obama administration and the rest of the politicians. Without the unions taking the lead in this struggle, there is little individual workers will be able to accomplish. And if the unions refuse to return to their more militant roots but remain invisible, economists like Paul Krugman will continue to ignore their existence and overlook their current historic failure to defend working people.

Go, Make A Difference
While flipping through the television channels, I came across one of my favorite movies, Lean On Me. The movie is about a principal appointed to a school with a group of students that most people had given up on. Through unconventional methods and stark opposition, Mr. Clark, the principal was determined to turn this school around and change the lives of these students. In order to achieve his goal, the passionate principal made some tough decisions and ruffled a few feathers. In spite of the difficult task with its daily challenges, Mr. Clark refused to give to up on these students. Needless to say, the school moved in the right direction and the lives of these learners were forever changed. This inspiring movie reminded me why quitting is not an option. Sometimes what is in front of you seems impossible to overcome. Author, Rick Warren said, “Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.” See, it is not so much what you are dealing with; it is how you react to it. Take time to inhale and exhale and tell yourself, “I got this, I can do this!” Your situation may not be easy, but it does not have to be impossible. Thoughts and plans come into fruition, when we do not give up. Go make a difference!

Cloud Computing – The future cloud should fend for itself
by James Urquhart with CNet
It is fascinating the ways in which the world of computing can be made easier, thus creating opportunity for new complexities–usually in the form of new computing technologies. It’s happened with programming languages, software architectures, computer networks, data center design, and systems virtualization. However, nothing has raised the bar on that concept like IT automation.
You may have been expecting to hear the term “cloud computing,” but cloud is just an outcome of good automation. It’s an operations model–a business model to some–that was only made possible by a standardization of the core elements of computing and the automation of their operation. Without automation, the cloud cannot be self-service, and it cannot scale to very large numbers of customers or systems.
The best part is that we are only at an intermediate stage in the evolution of operations automation–the second of several evolutionary stages in the growing capability of systems to fend for themselves in a global computing marketplace.
These are the stages we understand to some extent today:
1. Server provisioning automation–The first stage of automation that we all know and love is the automation of server provisioning and deployment, typically through scripting, boot-time provisioning (e.g. PXE booting), and the like.When the server is the unit of deployment, server automation makes a lot of sense. Each server (bare metal box or virtual machine) can host one operating system, so laying down that OS and picking the applications to include in the image is the way to simplify the operation of a single server.The catch is that this method alone is difficult to do well at large scales, as it still requires the system administrator to make decisions on behalf of the application. How many servers should I deploy now? Which types of servers should I add instances to in order to meet new loads, and when should I do that? The result is still a very manual operations environment, and most organizations at this stage attempt capacity planning and build for expected peak. If they are wrong…oh, well.
2. Application deployment automation–A significant upgrade to single server deployment is the deployment of a “partitioned” distributed application, where the different executables and data sets of the application are “predestined” for a deployment location, and the automation simply makes sure each piece gets where it needs to go, and is configured correctly.This is what Forte Software’s 4GL tools did when deploying a distributed application, which transferred responsibility for application deployment from systems administrators to developers. However, this method requires manual capacity management, deploying for peak loads, and continued monitoring by human operators.
1. Programmed application operations automation–Developing operations code adds critical functions to basic distributed deployment automation to automatically adjust capacity consumption based on application needs in real time. This is the magic “elasticity” automation that so many are excited about in the current cloud computing landscape. Basic scaling automation makes sure you pay only for what you use.However, today’s scaling automation has one severe limitation: the way the “health” of the application is determined has to be engineered into application operations systems ahead of time. What conditions you monitor, what state requires an adjustment to scale, and what components of the application you scale in response has to be determined by the developer well before the application is deployed.
2. Self-configuring application operations automation–To me, the logical next step is to start leveraging the smarts of behavior learning algorithms to enable cloud systems to receive a wide variety of monitoring data, pick through that data to determine “normal” and “abnormal” behaviors and to determine appropriate ways to react to any abnormalities. These types of learned behavior turn the application system into more of an adaptive system, which gets better and better at making the right choices the longer the application is in production.Though behavioral learning systems today, such as Netuitive’s performance management products, are focused primarily on monitoring and raising alerts for abnormal behaviors, they can do some amazing things. According to CEO Nicola Sanna, Netuitive has three key calculations it applies to incoming data:
3. There are other products making their way into this space, such as Integrion’s Alive product, and I expect we’ll see performance analytics become more intelligent in a variety of other traditional management and monitoring tools as well. The real excitement, however, will come as automation systems learn not only when to raise an alert but also what action to take when an alert is raised.
Crazy, you say? Why the heck would I want to give up control over the stability and operations of my key applications to a “mindless” automation system? For the same reason that–once you trust them–you will happily turn over your operating systems to virtual machines; your phone systems to managed service providers or your elastic workloads to cloud environments: optimization, agility, and cost.
The companies that adopt one or more cloud models for a large percentage of their workloads will see some key advantages over those that don’t. Cloud providers that adopt the best infrastructure and service automation systems will greatly improve their chances in the market place, as well.

Skunklock fights back: New bike lock makes thieves vomit
After multiple thefts of his and his friends bicycles, Daniel Idzkowski decided to revisit how a lock could deter a thief. The result is the SKUNKLOCK. When a thief attempts to cut through the lock, it releases noxious chemicals that coat the thief, inducing vomiting – when tested on volunteers, at two feet 99% threw up, and at five feet they felt an overwhelming urge to get away from it.
The lock is made from hardened steel, and the chemicals can only be accessed by cutting into the chamber. The chemical compound used can be varied to meet with varying regulations in US states and the EU (including the UK)
At the moment, the Skunklock is a D-Lock, aimed primarily at bicycles, but Daniel explained to MSL when we spoke to him that “I’m definitely working on a disk lock; I’m a big fan of brake locks but they aren’t effective against an angle grinder. We just started with the bicycle market because it is the most pressing need. I actually ride a motorcycle – it was designed for both, and I use it on m,y Ducati.”
The Skunklock is being funded via Indiegogo, and has already exceeded its target. The retail price will be USD 160 + shipping, but there are deals to be had on multiple locks and early subscription.

SpecForce Alpha
SpecForce Alpha – PDF book download! One of the things the US military is known for is the creation of ultra-modern high-precision weapons. They also pay a lot of attention to preparing soldiers because it is believed that, despite all progress in military technology, you still can’t avoid the ground manpower in battle.
Among the most advanced schools and courses, which prepare special operations teams are: Ranger School, basic naval intelligence courses, special ops qualification course, training courses, and the underwater saboteurs’ special forces “Delta” unit. Do you want to get as ripped as a commando? Download Todd Lamb’s book SpecForce Alpha. This is the best fitness guide for now!
When it comes to Ranger school, historically they appeared on US territory way back in 1756. The founder was Major Rogers from Britain. The main objective for Ranger units was battle against the Indians, as regular troops were not able to handle them. The modern history of Rangers began during the Second World War when it was formed into five battalions.
Today, all the Rangers are apart of the 75th regiment of the armed forces of the United States, which has an estimated 1830 people and consists of 3 battalions. Each battalion has three combat and one Staff company. The main objective of “black berets” is to conduct subversive activities in the assault near the enemy’s rear, so the training they get should be applicable.
In order to become a Ranger, you must take special courses, which last 72 days. The main objective of these courses is to train the commander of the assault team, who will be able to act decisively, even in extremely difficult conditions in the field.
The entire program is to test the strength, endurance, and courage of the candidates. It contains elements such as push-ups, sliding a rope on a given distance, performing of more than 35 gymnastic-speed exercises, rappelling from a platform and then jumping into the water from a seven-meter height, swimming in equipment and uniform, overcoming the beam located on the a height of 20 meters, and rappelling off a cliff.
In addition, students have to cover a distance of 3.2 kilometers in less than 12 minutes, throughout four days and make the same amount of forced marches length of 10 kilometers of cross-country with a load of 18 kilograms and 20 kilograms (by two shots). Therefore the norm for each forced march is only 1.5 hours.
The course is divided into several stages. The first phase has a duration of 338 hours. Initially, candidates undergo an initial training in orienteering, physical training, working with radio, adjusting the air and artillery fire, demolitions, and first aid.
The mountain training stage lasts 309 hours. The focus this time is on mastering the art of rock climbing and long passages through the mountains.
The third stage lasts 376 hours. At this time, the students learn to conduct combat operations and detect the locations of enemy forces, reserves, and nuclear missiles. During the duration of the course, soldiers break into pairs. According to experts, this should contribute to the successful overcoming of obstacles and create a spirit of mutual support.
The test-taking course ends. Those who have successfully passed all the tests (which is usually about half of all the candidates), the ranger receives a certificate and a golden-yellow-black patch with the inscription «Ranger», and a black beret.

How the Rolling Stones Keep Rolling
The rolling stones start in the year 1960, when two young guys began wrapping in the music world, these two young men were Mick Jagger and Keith Richard, the soul of Rolling Stones, the next year formed their own group called l’Little Boy Blue & Blue Boys in company of Jack Taylor. In 1962 came another member of the group named Brian Jones, at this time it was decided to rename the group as Rolling Stones, in the same year they released their first simple “Come on “, and the same year they began their first tour.
In 1964 The Rollings released their first album “The Rolling Stones”, this album was composed of a single song from the group and the rest were covers of songs known since they just spent to make versions of other artists, but the way they play the instruments and aggression they impose on the issues is what makes them unique. The experts devised a marketing strategy to publicize the group, wanted to make them look like the bad boys of pop / rock, something appealing to younger and if adapted as opposed to the Beatles, that could be considered the good guys.
In January 1965 released her second album, ‘Rolling Stones 2’, which took influences from black American music, primarily soul. In 1966 this group launches ‘Aftermath’, which were songs written by themselves, to give more creativity to your music and manage their own songs with his own style, this in order to stay in top of the music. This album was considered one of the best, because his creativity. In 1967 he released “Between The Buttoms’, the album was on detention issues, to address issues of drugs in several songs, created a scandal that Jagger and Richards as participants of the band were in detention for Reverse and drug consumption.
After the scandal of the previous album, The Rolling Stones decallendo followed, with the LP ‘Their Satanic Magesties Request’ took one of his greatest failures. Try to imitate the “Sgt Peppers’ by the Beatles, but his followers were accused of following the style of another British group and thus ending his own style which had long been accepted by the youth society. In 1968 there is a new Rolling Stones album, entitled ‘Beggars Banquet’, which witnessed a return to the essence of the Rolling.
This album continued his aggressive issues that attract attention and released as the album cover a very sensual and struggles, but was not accepted by the company and for this reason it was censored. In 1969 Brian Jones was found dead in his home, victim of drugs. When Mick Taylor joined the group as a missing member. This was followed by the publication of a new album ‘Let It Bleed’, an ironic reply to ‘Let it Be’ by the Beatles so I just carried their rivalry among groups to draw more attention from fans.
This makes them hard to take the top of the rock world. In 1971 he edited ‘Brown Sugar’, the first with his own record label and ‘Sticky Fingers’, the first using a design by Andy Warhol of lips as a seal of the group. This latest album is considered one of the greats of the Rolling for quality instruments. By acquiring its own record label and be so successful, the Rolling Stones decided to purchase accounts in France, to avoid tax. In 1972 he published a double album ‘Exile On Main Street’, an album of great quality and very ambitious.
Claimed to be the gateway to a large U. S. tour and had to engage the audience. It was number one in England and USA. This growing group acquired more fame and more fans, they followed their creativity and made separate lists more albums, in 1973 published ‘Goats Head Soup’ and 1974 ‘It’s Only Rock’n Roll’, for whose promotion to the streets of London graffiti saying ‘It’s only rock and roll. It was the last album Mick Taylor in the band, which was replaced by Ron Wood. Also released a live album, ‘Love You Live.
The decade of the eighties, the Rolling Stones signed a contract with CBS. With that, the Stones would receive several million dollars for each album released. Result of the agreement were records like ‘Emotional Rescue’, then ‘Tattoo You’ in 1981, ‘Stiff Life’ in 1982, ‘Undercover’ in 1983 and ‘Dirty Work’ in 1986, the album that raised the average quality of the decade was ‘Steel Wheels’, 1989, based on which a new world tour and a new live album based on that tour, “Flashpoint.
In 1990 he toured Japan and Europe, which were followed for more than two million spectators and generating revenues of about two hundred million dollars. In the following years, more doctors are still running as: 1994 Voodoo Lounge ‘and a year’ Rock And Roll Circus, recorded in 1968 and had never been published, in 1995 edited ‘Stripped’ and 1997 ‘Bridges To Babylon’. Finally, in 2005, a new Rolling Stones album, entitled ‘A Bigger Bang. The title is inspired by the group’s popular fascination for the scientific theory about the origin of the universe.

Be Ruthless In Pursuing Your Goals
Do It Every Day
One of the simplest secrets of what I’ve been able to accomplish so far–which, while not overwhelming, is at least something more than nothing–can be attributed to this paragraph I encountered years ago.
Do it every day.
Want to become a concert pianist? Do it every day.
Want to become a writer? Do it every day.
Want to become depressed? Think of depressing thoughts every day.
Want to become an optimist? Think of cheerful thoughts every day.
Do it every day.
–Robert Anton Wilson
It’s one of those things that’s simple but not necessarily easy. I’ve kept a copy of that text in various places over the years. It used to be my home location in my browser, so that I’d see it first thing when I sat down. For a number of years, it hung on the wall by my work computer, so that I could see it every day and remind myself that my true work never happened at that desk.
Within it is the idea that we make ourselves. That the outside only forms us up to a point–and the rest is up to us. Also hidden in there is the idea that small effort, applied consistently over time, will get you where you want to go.
There are days when it’s hard. And days when I missed it completely. The important thing is to move on from there and make sure you do whatever-it-is the next day. Don’t double up to make up for lost time. Don’t let the guilt keep you from getting back to business the next day. Just be there, do it.
Even if it was 500 words a day, I eventually ended up with stories. Then there’s the whole “pyramids and bricks” thing. Yadda-yadda. You know the routine.
The only thing I would add to the above quoted text is this: every day, ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. What makes it worthwhile? Is it what you want to be doing? This goes back to the mental aspects that Wilson included and can help you adjust your thinking.
The answer, along with the daily reminder to “do it every day,” will give you a good push in the direction you want to go.
Look At Your Past Without Guilt
Now is your chance.
On The Fate of Paper Stories
Responsibility Means…
My 365 image from the 27th reminded me of an old teacher that I had. We were given sentences to write as punishment any time we did something wrong in class.
His default was “Responsibility means following directions,” but he would also adapt it to meet the infraction in question.
But they always began with “Responsibility means…”
There are multiple ways I could go with this.
The whole idea of punishment in schools (now versus then), that people rarely write by hand any longer, that it could be a good exercise for character-building in fiction or the feel-good sort of post that says “Responsibility means being true to yourself” or some such.
But those are all expected. Boring. Cliché.
Instead, I’ll just think about old times past and all the teachers who have made me who I am by being wonderful or terrible. Images flicker by in my head. Old Italian math and English teachers (one who once went on a rant about profanity in school and how we never respected it and instead reduced it to, “hey, are you gonna eat that f’ing sandwich?” ), a fifth-grade teacher who kept a pet hamster in his classroom, a high school English teacher who was a little crazy but loved my stories.

While some in the UK say that EU law should be ignored where immigration from Romania and Bulgaria is concerned at the start of the New Year, it should be remembered that those two countries also have questions to answer where EU regulations are concerned. But if we’re all going to be in the club together surely we’re all playing by the same rules?
The UK would be be in breach of EU law were it to prevent the free movement into the country of Romanians and Bulgarians once the restrictions are lifted. Many people, worried about the potential for large numbers coming over, have called on the government to break the law to stop them and hang the consequences. This has drawn heavy fire from the EU and business as well as politicians from the two countries concerned.
But while they complain about the UK besmirching their reputations, Romania is trying to pass a law that makes some of its senior figures exempt from corruption laws and Bulgaria is extending its ban on foreigners buying agricultural land until 2020. Both of these are in contravention of EU law but little is being said about it, except by UKIP.
On 10th December the Romanian parliament voted for an amendment that removes the president, senators, members of the lower chamber and lawyers from the list of those considered to be ‘public officials’. This means that they can no longer be held accountable for abuse of office, conflicts of interest, bribery and other corruption crimes should this become law. This could also lead to current cases against officials charged with corruption being dropped. As the Romanian anti-corruption prosecutor’s office said, this is in violation of the EU laws that the country signed up to.

In October Bulgaria extended their ban on foreigners buying agricultural land until 2020 over worries that its arable land was undervalued compared to the rest of the EU, despite their full accession into the EU on 1st of January 2014 requiring that all such moratoria be lifted. It has already been identified that all 28 countries in the EU would have to agree to such a ban, which could mean a review of the pre-accession treaty. If not other member states might take reciprocal action, such as extending labour market restrictions said Chantal Hughes, spokeswoman for European Internal Markets Commissioner Michel Barnier.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage seems to be the only person talking about this. Mr Farage said:
If the Romanian Parliament fails to stick to its EU obligations then why should anyone else?
In these circumstances Westminster is well entitled to act and should block Romanian nationals from the UK labour market on January 1. Similarly, we should block Bulgarian nationals because their parliament has broken their accession agreement concerning land sales to non-Bulgarians.
Why should the British be the mugs of Europe and comply with EU law while the parliaments of Romania and Bulgaria flout it with impunity?

UE: Duo of Melody
With a distinct name like Upper Echelon, the duo from New Jersey, better known as UE , offers a unique and eclectic sound of instruments and melody, influenced by the musics Motown Era.
Winning, among many awards, the Underground Music Award for Best Duo of 2007, UE members Caliph and Tunde, strive to be recognized for their own music production, unique sound, along with their musical live show performances.
With their latest album release, Tragedy 2 Triumph, both members reflect on their personal accounts of tragedy, struggle and overcomingobstacles they have faced. In their track “Things R Changing,” track Tundeand Caliph speak on their own evolution, while still maintaining theentertainment and performance appeal on the track “Heat Wave.”
AllHipHop.com: Where did you guys get the name UE from?
Tunde: We are looking for something that represented what we were all about, what we were trying to do. Our whole ideology when we go into the studio, we came up with Upper Echelon and it means a higher level.
AllHipHop.com: Both of you used to be solo artists. What made you want to link up and form a group?
Tunde: We started off solo artists and met each other at Seton Hall University, just going to different ciphers and battles. Back then I was a solo artist working with a producer in New Jersey and Caliph was pretty much doing hes own thing. When Caliph met there was a certain chemistry that we had with him, kinda like a ying and yang chemistry. We just automatically bounced and decided to come out with Upper Echelon.
AllHipHop.com: You guys do all of your own production. Tell me about your process of creating a track from the ground up.
Caliph: Off the Tragedy 2 Triumph album, the way it really worked was just about digging in the crates and listening for that certain sound, something would match our sound. Well take something from Motown Era music, but we still like to feel like we got our own sound. That just comes from us sitting down with records and records and finding it. Its not just coming off of records, its coming off of records we feel match our sound.
AllHipHop.com: If you had to put a label on that sound, what would you call it?
Caliph: [Laughs] Good Music. We give our best and our all into every song. So, if I had to put a label on it. Good Music.
Tunde: To add on to that, I would say were very musical. Were more musical, some artists are focus on beats, but we focus on melody and music, which gives a variety of different instrumentations. A lot of which that has been created by live instruments with a unique twist and you get melodies that stick out.
AllHipHop.com: Do you feel like that is a sound that missing in the game right now?
Tunde: Yea, absolutely. I feel like nowadays, the sound people are going for is real synthetic. I dont have anything against synthetic instruments. I just know, personally, that we dont go for a lot of fake sounds if it sounds like they are coming straight out of a computer. We want people that listen to our music to feel like they can imagine a band behind us.
Caliph: We keep that musical feel to our music, because we gear all of our music to be preformed live. A lot of artists dont think about their live show. Ultimately, we wanna be able to rock the crowd with a live band behind us. We make all of our music like that. Our ultimate goal is to live onstage.
AllHipHop.com: Do you enjoy performing live more than creating in the studio?
Caliph: I dont know. I think I like both for different reasons. When I get to sit down and make music Im diggin deep in my soul for that sound and when Im onstage Im giving it more life
Im transferring this energy to other people to use. It feels good for two different reasons.
Tunde: Exactly. Thats a good question because when youre going through the recording process your really writing music to really satisfy yourself and when youre performing to the public your really putting yourself out to the crowd. When people getting into the energy that you created, it gives you a sense of satisfaction but, I cant really choose one over the other. Theyre both on the same plane.
AllHipHop.com: I noticed a lot of your lyrics have been based on positive messages. Is this something that youve done purposefully, as far as your lyrical content having a message?
Tunde: Yea, we believe that you can be positive and its still make good music. While you have peoples ears its always good to throw in certain content and a certain message. Thats what makes your music more valuable. If you gear the music towards not really saying anything, then the music is going to be disposable. When theres a message behind it and substance behind it but, it doesnt mean you cant be entertaining.
AllHipHop.com: Do you guys write based on personal experiences?
Caliph: I would say about 90% of this album is our experiences. On the title track of the album, Tragedy 2 Triumph, we feel like its the pillar of this whole album, because it shows that we came from this tragedy to this triumph. Its all our personal experience, our highs and our lows, our everyday life. Were not gangstas, were not drug dealers, we miss our parents that passed away, I have a son, our family, going out, having fun.. You hear about all of that. Life isnt just one thing its multifaceted and you hear all about that. Its a very personal album.
AllHipHop.com What does the title Tragedy 2 Triumph mean to you personally?
Tunde: We came up with that title, cause it pretty much shows how you can create a triumph out of a tragedy. Most people that are successful in this lifetime, usually reach their success out of a struggle or some type of tragedy. Those are always the always the most successful people. Success is really that journey from struggling to triumph. About three and a half years ago my father passed away, it was shocking and very hard. And then Caliphs mother passed away around at the same time and everything just kinda came to a standstill. The only inspiration to pick up music again came from wanting to spill out emotions of the tragedy that had happened. So out of that tragedy, came such a successful album and that is our triumph..
AllHipHop.com: Whats some of the pros and cons of working in a group setting?
Caliph: Theres really only pros. I say that because he might see an area where I might be lacking at and I would love to say vice versa. But when Im slipping, he pickin up, when he slippin, Im pickin up.
Tunde: Basically, as a solo artists, sometimes you need that ear to tell you whether the verse or beat is really hot. Sometimes as artists you think something is hot because youre so involved in it so, basically what we do is check and balance each other with each other.
AllHipHop.com: What are you guys doing to create mainstream buzz for yourself or do you feel like you dont need it?
Caliph: No, we definitely need it. We consider ourselves commercial artists, we dont consider ourselves backpack rappers. We got a lot of love for Motown, Rock, R&B, and even alternative music. So, we do everything we can. We just did another showcase out in Virginia and trying to spread the UE movement everywhere. So, we definitely dont want to be local artists or confined one genre and one region. We really want to be international.
Tunde: Heres the thing about us and our struggle, when we make our music we gear it towards being universal. We make a conscious effort to appeal to a mass amount of people. The struggle is, that our music really doesnt sound like anything else thats out there. As universal as it is and as many people that are feelin it, once you listen to it, you see that it really doesnt sound like most of the hip-hop thats out there right now. So, when it comes to really getting it out to mainstream, or taking it to radio and DJs or to A&R sitting down to it, most are just listening to whats on the radio right now. We dont sound like anything thats on the radio right now, but I guarantee you, if we were on the radio, people would gravitate towards it. What were trying to do is reach the people first. Once you have the people on your side, the industry has to move towards you, regardless. Were doing as much as we can, if its radio shows, showcases, publicity, anything we can to get the people.
AllHipHop.com: A lot of artists do showcase in the hopes that theyll be discovered. Is that your ultimate goal to get a record deal out of it, or is it just a platform to perform for your fans?
Caliph: Our goal is to be on a major label. Right now were just paying our dues. Anybody that has made it and sustained a long meaning full career has paid their dues in one way or another. A lot of people that have been one hit wonders, havent paid their dudes. They just got in cause they paid somebody or knew somebody or didnt have the talent and perseverance to back it up. So, we grinding, and once we start shining, were gonna be shinin for a long time.

User description
I felt it was well price the money when compared to leaving a computer up and running at home 24/7 and paying the electric bill on that. If you're operating lots of mods, Mod Title Tooltip is a should-have. If you employ Minecraft portals quite a bit, then the Immersive Portals mod by Qouteall is certainly going to improve your recreation experience. After which new things emerge. It's a fun approach to convey the sport to live with things you get pleasure from. Each time it looks like some company tries to absorb the Factor People are Doing, or The Factor Individuals are Watching, although, folks appear to find a way of doing different things. The computer Emergency Response Staff (CERT) for brand new Zealand, Deutsche Telekom’s CERT, and the Greynoise internet monitoring service have all warned that attackers are actively searching for servers weak to Log4Shell assaults. If you're searching for pores and skin mods, right here a number of the curated and best Minecraft Skins you'll want to spice up the game. Moreover, there are some with a built-in economy, and some contain built-in minigames. Firms with servers confirmed to be weak to Log4Shell attack up to now include Apple, Amazon, Cloudflare, Twitter, Steam, Baidu, NetEase, Tencent and Elastic, although there are probably hundreds if not 1000's of different organizations affected. Log4Shell was first discovered in Microsoft-owned Minecraft, although LunaSec warns that “many, many services” are weak to this exploit due to Log4j’s “ubiquitous” presence in nearly all main Java-based mostly enterprise apps and servers. According to the latter, around a hundred distinct hosts are scanning the internet for methods to take advantage of Log4j vulnerability. All of the modes are very fascinating. Numerous popular companies, together with Apple iCloud, Twitter, Cloudflare, Minecraft and Steam, are reportedly vulnerable to a zero-day vulnerability affecting a preferred Java logging library. As Apple has its multitiered subscription mannequin throughout music, video games, films and fitness, so Disney has its Hulu-ESPN package, and Microsoft has Sport Go (and 365). Meta's recent fitness app strikes suggest subscriptions might be extra in play for VR, a transfer that Vive already made years in the past. At the same time, strikes like picking up Activision counsel a few huge corporations owning the roads to the video games or films or other content we would be streaming, or taking part in, or placing on no matter machine we might be using. However, its simplicity appealed to those that love enjoying with Lego blocks and people who love journey games. Minecraft servers If subscribing to providers is how we connect with things, then is that the part that turns into most vital when a brand new wave of VR and AR headsets (and who knows what else) ultimately get here? After the file finishes downloading you'll be able to upload it to your Forge account and then launch Minecraft. You can't rank up on a minecraft server because there are no ranks except the host of the server has a rank plugin. Use port forwarding to permit others access to your server. How do I setup Port Forwarding? Minecraft servers That the publisher is Activision Blizzard, and the deal is value over $67 billion, is even more so. Waking up on a Tuesday morning to listen to that Microsoft was snapping up one more huge sport writer is a disorienting approach to begin the week. We meet each Tuesday. Robert Joyce, the director of Cybersecurity at the NSA, confirmed that GHIDRA, a free and open source reverse engineering device developed by the company, is also affected: “The Log4j vulnerability is a significant threat for exploitation because of the widespread inclusion in software frameworks, even NSA’s GHIDRA,” he said. Be at liberty to switch servers by yourself down the line, or ask the assist group to do it for you. Hostgator supplies an internet framework assist. Microsoft's been throwing efforts at VR and AR for years now, and but the Xbox still would not even have VR headset support. Minecraft servers An Xbox profile includes a player’s code of conduct, and because it’s linked to actual participant details, our assist groups can shortly act on any reviews of dangerous conduct. Except for some future world of potential VR/AR headsets, Microsoft also appears to be targeting a very actual immediate landscape of competitive cell gaming. In short, a lot of the open-endedness of the EQ world allowed gamers to be the content and the story. Perhaps this is the countless Circle of Content. Is Microsoft locking up the content? You possibly can be a part of a Public Server by following Content Creators on Youtube or occurring Discord Servers. It makes me wonder if grabbing all the popular content is the technique everyone's pursuing in the meantime, or if this has all the time been the sport, for so long as I can remember. Sure, that's the internet, but everybody's not all the time in the identical place at the identical time. Or maybe, as metaverse guarantees appear to recommend an internet that umbrellas out to much more corners of a linked world, everybody's trying to seize up items for it yet again. Still, the sport has potential and is worth checking out.

The Line That Had POTUS Trump Telling The United Nations To Go To Hell…
Yes, President Trump really did say this and it sent visible shockwaves through the assembled U.N. audience as they sat listening to the president’s steely-eyed speech to them earlier today. It is a single line that is both so very powerful and important as it clearly contrasts the war between those who wish to save the United States against those who would see it devoured.
THIS is the reason Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and why the globalist elites despise him so much and are increasingly desperate to see his America-first agenda stopped. Despite all the powers aligned against him and America – President Trump is winning the war:
“We will never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy. America is governed by Americans.”
TRUMP VIRAL PIC: He Sits Silent & Strong, Waiting To Confront The Globalists With The Truth
A photo of President Trump at the United Nations just moments before he gave the assembled body a speech which once again put America’s interests front and center and made clear no deviation from that position would be allowed, is now going viral. It shows the president seated, alone, contemplative, and very determined. He is in the den of lions and lies, seemingly alone, yet bolstered by the love and support of millions across the country he is so proud to serve and represent.

Best Name for a Nail Salon Houston 2000 - Nail a La Mode
With 547 manicurist shops listed in the Yellow Pages, Houston must serve as home to more nail salons per capita than any other American city. While we haven't statistically tested our hypothesis, we can't miss the glaring fact that a different nail shop sits on every other block. Why is the demand so high? Are Houston women more concerned about healthy cuticles? Taking advantage of a cheap luxury? More vain about their hands? Or does it signify that they are more ostentatious about their entire appearance from surgically enhanced body parts to big hair to painted nails? We aren't sure. But one thing is apparent: The competition is high, and Nail a La Mode has managed to distinguish itself from its 546 rivals with a name like that. What does it mean exactly? Nails with a scoop of ice cream? Unfortunately the truth isn't that exciting. "It just means design stuff, a modern, different style," said an amused employee over the phone.

Libyan People's Joy Welcomes New Ruler
Libyan People's Joy Welcomes New Ruler, Libya The new government promised to create a modern democratic state based on Islamic law are moderate. The statement expressed the leader of the National Transition Council (NTC) Mustafa Abdul Jalil while delivering his first speech after the fall of the regime of Muammar Gaddafi in Martyrs Square, the central city of Tripoli, on Monday night September 12 local time.
Libyan People's Joy Welcomes New Ruler, Thousands of people attend and welcome the joy of a speech delivered two days after Jalil arrived in the capital city of Benghazi. "We will not accept any form of ideological extremes, right or left. We are Muslims. For moderate Islam, and we will persist in this path," said Jalil.
"You all (the people) have been with us and continue to support us. You are our weapons against anyone who wants to hijack the revolution," continued the former minister of justice in the era of Kadhafi before joining the opposition and forming the NTC.
Jalil also promises something different in the era of the new Libya. For example, he mentioned that women will have an active role in the new era. On that occasion, he also thanked all the countries that have supported the NTC, including France and Britain.
However, in his speech that, Jalil also warned about the dangers of secularism. He also stated that Libya will become the country by making Islamic law as a source of law.
The speech was broadcast live on television is getting applause from residents. Fireworks are also visible at some point in the city of Tripoli. Capital of the sky also looks bright evening.
Although the new Libyan regime has moved its headquarters from Benghazi to Tripoli, the NTC has not been entirely out of danger of war. Therefore, the resistance Gaddafi loyalists still occur.
Some people close to Gaddafi reportedly hiding in the neighboring countries of Libya, such as Algeria and Niger. Prime Minister (PM) Niger Brigi Rafini on Monday, September 12, 2011 stating that the third child Gaddafi, Al-Saadi Gaddafi, Libya and the three generals were among 32 people who crossed the border of the Central African country since Sept. 2.
Saadi is currently in the country south of the Libyan neighbors. His mother, Safia Farkas, along with her sister, Aisha Gaddafi, Kadhafi and a number of grandchildren get protection in Algeria, Libya west neighbor.
NTC also continues to battle with Gaddafi loyalists who still control a small amount of their last base defense in Libya. Battle at Bani Walid, southeast of Tripoli, had been suspended. One combatant commander of NTC stated that they were waiting for a number of NATO warplanes continue airstrikes to target Gaddafi loyalists. In the war in the city, Gaddafi loyalists using heavy weapons. At least 15 troops were killed when NTC Gaddafi loyalists attacked an oil refinery near the city of Ras Lanuf.
Meanwhile, in their latest report, Amnesty International said that not only Gaddafi's troops when they did. The fighters NTC also allegedly involved in torture and murder as an act of revenge.
"NTC is facing a difficult task. It also is responsible for alleged human rights abuses and possible war crimes," the agency wrote in a report entitled War of Libya: Killings, Disappearances, and Torture.
Mohammed al-Alagi, Libya's justice minister of the transitional government, admitted that his forces had indeed made a mistake. However, he considered it not be called a war crime.
Separately, the panel member countries for the African Union will meet today's Libya 14 September 2011 in Pretoria to discuss the latest developments in the north African country. "The Committee consisting of five heads of state will meet in Pretoria to discuss the issue of Libya," said Bongani Majola, a spokeswoman for the President of South Africa (South Africa) Jacob Zuma.

Sleepless in Seattle - part 4
Another sleepness night. Jet lag and life changing decisions are a killer combo in the sleep stakes. So day 2 rolled in with a blur. We had to head out to the far side of Bellevue to go see a school. A high school. Our children are nowhere near high school age but we figured we needed to know what was awaiting us down the line.
The school was in a less affluent part of town but the buildings were immaculate and the sports facilities amazing. We met with one of the deputy heads. Apparently the school has 1500 kids (aged 15 - 18) and there are over 60 different first languages spoken by the pupils. It made my mind boggle. Despite the sheer numbers being overwhelming, we left feeling pretty impressed by what we'd seen. For a state school, it looked slick.
We then explored all around Lake Sammamish, the lake on the East side of Bellevue. Although nice, we decided that having one lake between us and the city was enough, so there was no way we'd consider putting two lakes between us in suburbia and life outside the picket fences.
We nipped into another private school for a prospectus (lovely looking school but completely stuck up their own backside reception staff who couldn't have been less pleased to see two prospective parents willing to shell out $60k per year for two kids to attend). So we left and headed for our third school of the day, another private one.
This school turned everything I thought about schooling on its head. For a start, the school building was an old office park. It's curb appeal was low. For a private school charging a LOT of money, where were the beautiful buildings and acres of sports fields? But once inside we began to realise that this was no ordinary school. They teach children in a completely different way. They teach them to think. Not simply to learn, but to question and enquire. We were given a mock science lesson. And both my husband and I sat enthralled as they took as through the content. It made me want to go back to school.
They use tablet PCs for the kids and if a child feels that a teacher is going to fast in class, they send the teacher a private instant message and the teacher knows to recap without the child feeling embarrassed. It's also hands on learning - the kids have built a rock climbing wall, a wormery for all the food scraps, their own black box theatre where they do all their drama productions and they have to build their own canoes. Proper wooden canoes. If they float, they've passed. If they don't, they have a swimming lesson.
Their mission is: think critically, act responsibly, lead compassionately, and innovate wisely. I love that. And it's so current. It teaches and prepares children for today and tomorrow's world.
I left with one thought: I want my kids to go there. Sure they'd have to make the grade (they have to be very bright and have a natural curiousity about the world around them) and we'd have to live on bread and beans to afford it, but wow! It was just such an incredible place.
After leaving that school on a high, we then discovered the suburb of Kirkland which actually had a little downtown area with restaurants and shops and access to the lakeside beaches. And although it was still a bit plastic, it felt more like a proper neighbourhood where you might actually get to meet your neighbours. What's more, it would still only be a 12 minute commute to work for my husband. 12 minutes vs his current 1.5 hours each way (when he's in the country).
And slowly the ticks in the pros columns started lining up.
We ended the day with a couple my husband works with, eating amazing food at their gorgeous house, learning all about what it's really like to live the American way with kids and a job. They seemed so happy and together. And I started to imagine us living in a house like that and it seemed doable.
We collapsed into bed with brains aching from over-stimulation. The see-saw of emotions - could we live here? could we not? - was leaving me feeling a little sick. Or perhaps that was just too much good food and wine. Either way, we had one more full day to make our minds up. Thursday would be decision time.

That school sounds beyond incredible - that is exactly how I want my children to be educated (but not completely sure I'll be moving to the US just to get it...)
Hope you're doing ok and surviving the jetlag and everything else
Iota said...
I can feel the balance tipping...
nappy valley girl said...
The school sounds really interesting....
Mind you, some of the public (state) schools round here give out iPads to their pupils (!).
And the commute sounds good too....hmmm, I wonder what day 4 brought?
Metropolitan Mum said...
How exciting!! We are currently looking at schools in London and it's a far cry from what you have experienced at this particular school. Do they name the teaching approach? Is it Montessori? (clutching straws here...)
Curious to find out about your decision.
PS: Seattle is also the home of Starbucks. The small, original Starbucks, of course. I heard they once sold good coffee.
katyboo1 said...
I am desperate to find out your decision. I have been checking several times a day for your posts. HURRY UP WOMAN. I am living vicariously through your travels. The school sounds totally fabulous.

montessori? this sounds terrific.

Born: 28 November 1979
Birthplace: Houston, Texas
Best known as: Rapper who did the hit song "Ridin'"
Name at birth: Hakeem Seriki
Chamillionaire is the stage name of Hakeem Seriki, a Texas rapper who rocketed to stardom in 2006 with the singles "Turn It Up" and "Ridin'." Seriki got his start in the late 1990s, doing freestyle rap for SwishaHouse Records in Houston. He and rapper Paul Wall, a childhood friend, sold mixed tapes and CDs of themselves rapping over tracks that had been "chopped and screwed" (sonically manipulated down-tempo beats). Chamillionaire (a play on "chameleon" that's pronounced "KAmillionaire") made a name for himself in Texas as the "Mixtape Messiah," and a self-distributed 2002 release, Get Ya Mind Correct sold more than 100,000 copies and got nationwide attention as one of the year's best underground hip-hop records. After several self-released records, Chamillionaire joined Universal Records and released The Sound of Revenge in late 2005. A high profile on MTV and hit singles soon followed and by the end of 2006 Chamillionaire was a star. His other albums include Ultimate Victory (2007), Mistape Messiah 6 (2009) and Venom (2010).
Extra credit:
Seriki’s father was a Muslim and his mother was a Christian; they separated when he was a boy… He joined Ciara for “Get Up,” the hit song from the movie Step Up (2006 starring Channing Tatum)… The "Weird Al" Yankovic song “White & Nerdy” is a parody of Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’.”

Work ethics
Goodbye to all that
The problem
One of my workmates, a really good friend, is leaving the company - and I'm nervous about her leaving do. I've been asked to make a speech and I am getting conflicting advice from my colleagues. Some say I should keep it strictly professional and talk about her work achievements. Just as many say I should cram it full of jokes and embarrassing anecdotes. Which style is best?
The worker's view
Will Rogers, marketing manager
Matching your material to your audience is paramount. Go for brevity over length and highlight your colleague's unswerving loyalty to the cause, touching on a few choice characteristics you know have resonance within the office. Underline the positive contributions she has made since arriving and if there is a particularly racy anecdote, refer to it by all means, but do so in jest and move on. You can always tell the over-18 version in the pub later, when the atmosphere is more relaxed.
Most of those in attendance won't know this person as well as you - and will spend the time trying to maximise their bucks fizz intake to help while away the afternoon. As a personal friend, you know this person best -your speech will reflect this if you follow your mother's advice and "just be yourself".
The etiquette expert's view
Rachel Holland is the founder of Rachel Holland Associates
(01980 610180)
Keep it professional and keep it sincere. A leaving speech should celebrate your colleague's achievements and contributions to work. You can recount a humorous event but never confuse this with humiliation. You don't need to talk about personality. Instead you can sum up that person's legacy to the company - the difference that they have made. A leaving speech is the most suitable time to bring these things up and to say thank you, you've done well.
The leaving speech should be made in the office and then the anecdotes can come out in the pub afterwards. If you want to liven up your speech, you could try collecting comments or photographs from other colleagues and maybe ask your friend what her highlights have been - so you know what she would like you to talk about.
You can use humour but there is no need to make personal jokes. A leaving speech is an opportunity for reflection - not a best man's wedding speech. You should talk about where your friend is going next: a new job, a career change or retirement. If you really know your colleague, you won't need to resort to low humour.

Texting with Aidan was always fun. He spurned text shorthand, and tried to write everything grammatically. Here's one of the last exchanges we had; I was at work, and he was traveling to his home school co-op:
Aidan: Can you look up how long you need to wait before your bladder explodes?
Me: Why?
A: I really have to go to the bathroom and Im on the train.
A: Im starting to feel like Im going to faint.
Me: Put ur head down between ur knees.
Me: Ru ok? I tried to call u.
A: Im not sure.
Me: Answer your phone.
Me: How now?
A: Im on the train. I dont want to be rude.
A: How now?
A: How do you mean, brown cow?
Me: Its not rude when ur mom is worried that ur going to faint.
A: Im feeling less of that now, but can you answer my question about bladder eruption?
Me: No I can't right now. Sorry. It is not going to explode.
A: Just you wait...
and later...
A: I need my levothyroxine, my heart beats are super uneven.
Me: Levo does not affect ur heart. It's for your thyroid.
Me: R u worried?
A: Not really.
Me: Ok. I will try to pick up ur levo on way home tonight.
A: The only thing Im worried about is your text talk.
Me: Heh.
Anna D. said...
Priceless. Aidan had his priorities straight, that's for sure.
BeBrokeButHappy said...
That was wonderful. And Hilarious. (Sorry, Aidan, I'm not going properly grammatically here.) I hate when people say, "on so many levels," but in this instance, really really funny, but poignant and such on several levels.
jeanie said...
I can't imagine what Aiden would have said about my texting! I laughed out loud (lol) reading this. Sweet.
studioGypsy said...
just the best. :) xoxo

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I have a WinForms app which I have compiled to DLL.
I would like to use the dll to run start the app from another winforms app. So App A will have an option to run App B.
What is the best way to achieve this? Should I be using a DLL for this my win forms app or is EXE the better option?
share|improve this question
DLL won't run on its own (no GUI) so the first part of matthias answer is what you probably need.. – Shadow Wizard Feb 28 '11 at 10:42

When app B is completely independant of app A, you should use an EXE and start it with System.Diagnostics.Process (or so). Otherwise you could instantiate the main window class of app B in app A with new to 'start' that app. In that case you can also use an EXE instead of a DLL, which can also be referenced as assembly.

I'd make the .dll into a .exe. If you have the source code for the .dll file, then you can modify the project output on the project properties page to output an executable binary. If you don't have the source code, then you can create a new project that builds to a .exe. The new project should reference and invoke the .dll file.
To launch the .exe from your C# application (assuming the .exe is in the same place as your main application .exe), call Process.Start as follows:
Process.Start("MyOtherApplication.exe", "arg0 arg1 arg2");
This will start the application as a completely separate windows process. So killing your first application will have no effect on the second one.
@Matthias suggested launching the other application using the new operator. If you wanted the two applications to have the same lifetime, and perhaps share memory, then this may be appropriate.

Former Equifax CEO Richard Smith has apologised for a large cyber breach
US lawmakers have questioned a former conduct of credit-scoring association Equifax about a cyber conflict that competence have unprotected personal information of some-more than 145 million people.
Richard Smith, who late final week, apologised regularly for a breach.
Some Congressional cabinet members pronounced it should coax stronger information insurance laws and prompt a US to rethink a purpose of credit agencies.
Others pronounced opposite manners would not have been adequate to forestall this hack.
Equifax has pronounced about 145.5 million people in a US, 400,000 in a UK and about 8,000 in Canada competence have had their information compromised in attacks that occurred between May and July.
Hackers took advantage of a program disadvantage that Equifax was warned about in Mar and unsuccessful to address.
At a conference in Washington on Tuesday Mr Smith pronounced it took a organisation weeks to settle a border of a conflict after it identified questionable activity in July.
Representative Jan Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat, pronounced a conflict should prompt a broader review about credit agencies, that collect credit information on consumers from businesses mostly though people’s knowledge.
“Equifax deserves to be abashed in this conference though we should also ask what Congress has finished or unsuccessful to do to stop information breaches from occurring,” she said.
New manners competence face antithesis in Washington, where US President Donald Trump and many Republicans frequently call for reduction regulation.
Representative Greg Walden, an Oregon Republican, pronounced companies have a shortcoming to ensure information underneath existent law. He questioned how effective new manners competence be in incidents like this.
“I can’t repair stupid,” he said.
Legal claims
But both Democrats and Republicans during a appetite and commerce subcommittee conference were joined in their anger.
Representative Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, pronounced he wants a sovereign law that would penalize companies in a eventuality of breaches.
“I consider it’s time during a sovereign turn to put some teeth into this,” pronounced
Equifax faces authorised claims in dozens of states over a breach, that unprotected information including dates of birth, Social Security numbers and credit label information.
Three Equifax executives sole millions of dollars value of shares after a conflict was rescued on Jul 29, though before it was done public.
However, Mr Smith pronounced they were not wakeful during a time that personal information had been stolen.

Analysis And Simulation
For the purpose of analysing the combustion process and its instabilities, it has been convenient to divide the acoustical characteristics into linear and nonlinear behavior. A number of computer simulations with linear analyses have been developed over the last 45 years and have been used to understand the combustion process with liquid propellant combustion devices and to predict combustion oscillation frequencies. The nonlinear behavior (for example, why does a disturbance cause an apparently stable combustion to suddenly become unstable?) is not well understood and not properly simulated. Mathematical simulations require a number of assumptions and simplifications to permit feasible solutions (see Refs. 9-1, 9-3, 9-6, and 9-7). Good models exist for relatively simple phenomena such as droplets of a propellant vaporizing and burning in a gaseous atmosphere or the steady-state flow of gases with heat release from chemical reactions. The thermochemical equilibrium principles mentioned in Chapter 5 also apply here. Some programs who consider some turbulence and film cooling effects.
The following phenomena are usually ignored or greatly simplified: cross flows; nonsymmetrical gradients; unsteadiness of the flow; time variations in the local temperature, local velocity, or local gas composition; thermochemical reactions at local off-design mixture ratios and at different kinetic rates; enhancement of vaporization by acoustic fields (see Ref. 9-8); uncertainties in the spatial as well as the size distribution of droplets from sprays; or drag forces on droplets. It requires skilled, experienced personnel to use, interpret, and modify the more complex programs so that meaningful results and conclusions can be obtained. The outputs of these computer programs can give valuable help and confirmation about the particular design and are useful guides in interpreting actual test results, but by themselves they are not sufficient to determine the designs, select specific injector patterns, or predict the ocurrence of combustion instabilities.
All the existing computer programs known to the authors are suitable for steady-state flow conditions, usually at a predetermined average mixture ratio and chamber pressure. However, during the starting, thrust change, and stopping transients, the mixture ratio and the pressure change drastically. The analysis of these transient conditions is more difficult.
The combustion is strongly influenced by the injector design. The following are some of the injection parameters which influence combustion behavior: injector spray or jet pattern; their impingement; hole sizes or hole distribution; droplet evaporation; injection pressure drop; mixture ratio; pressure or temperature gradients near the injector; chamber/injector geometry; initial propellant temperature, and liquid injection pressure drop. Attempts to analyze these effects have met with only partial success.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a relatively new analytical tool that can provide a comprehensive description of complex fluid dynamic and thermodynamic behavior. It allows for a time history of all parameters and can even include some nonlinear effects. Numerical approaches are used to evaluate sets of equations and models that represent the behavior of the fluid. For complex geometries the information has been tracked with up to 250,000 discrete locations and can include changes in gas composition, thermodynamic conditions, equilibrium reactions, phase changes, viscous or nonvis-cous flow, one-, two-, or three-dimensional flow, and steady-state or transient conditions. It has been applied to resonance cavities in injectors or chambers and to the flow of burning gases through turbines. A comprehensive rocket combustion model using CFD is not yet available, but could become useful in the future.

Chemical Formula for Baking Soda
Provided in this article is some information about various aspects of baking soda, which is a popular household ingredient used for various purposes.
Baking soda has numerous applications, and is primarily used in cooking purposes. It chemically known as sodium bicarbonate, or more precisely, by its IUPAC name, it is known as sodium hydrogen carbonate. It is represented by the chemical formula, NaHCO3. So ‘what is baking soda’? Well, baking soda is in essence, a white crystalline salt of sodium, and it usually appears in a powder form.
Chemical Formula
Baking soda or baking powder has various chemical names like sodium bicarbonate (Na2CO3), bicarbonate of soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate ( NaHCO3), etc. It is also called sodium bicarb or simply bicarb. Its main chemical formula is NaHCO3, and it’s prepared industrially by Solvay process.
In this process, chemicals like calcium carbonate (CaCO3), sodium chloride (NaCl), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O) are used. They react in various steps to give out the main product. The reactions proceeds in two steps:
Step 1: Reaction of aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and carbon dioxide (CO2) –
2 + 2 NaOH → Na2CO3 + H2O
Step 2: Addition of more carbon dioxide to the above reaction –
Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2NaHCO3
Chemical Reaction of Baking Soda in Water
NaHCO3 consists of two ions, sodium ions (cations) Na+ and bicarbonate ions (anions) HCO3. Explained below is the way of sodium bicarbonate getting dissolved in water by breaking into two ions.
NaHCO3 → Na+(aq) + HCO3(aq)
Thermal Decomposition of Baking Soda
The chemical formula for any compound gives us a broad insight about various chemical reactions and properties of that compound. It is clear that if we decompose the compound using heat energy, we can get compounds by the help of which it has been prepared. Represented below is the reaction of this process at 70° C.
2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
As a thumb rule, one can remember that most of the hydroxides in general, follow the above decomposition reactions. If heated further, at around 100° C, hydroxides breaks down into their corresponding oxides.
Na2CO3 → Na2O (sodium oxide) + CO2
Baking soda finds extensive use in industrial and household products. Sodium bicarbonate is used as a medicine for indigestion and acidic gas, by mixing in appropriate amounts in different medications. In renal and uric acid cases, sodium bicarbonate is used for treatment of urine related problems. A solution of sodium bicarbonate is considered to be intravenous in cases of acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate in proper amounts is added along with appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution, and serves as an alternative for toothpastes.
The most common use of baking soda in our households is for cleaning and bleaching purposes. Sodium bicarbonate is extensively used for baking purposes. It is also used as chemical leavening agents that helps the batter to rise when baked. However, adding too much of this powder to the batter leads to bitter taste, and hence, one must be careful about the appropriate amount of baking powder that has to be used.
Making a light paste of baking soda and water, and then applying them to skin area that has been affected by acne helps to relieve the acne within 2 – 3 days. All you have to do is to apply the paste continuously, and leave it to dry for 10 – 20 minutes. Various chemical and physical properties of baking soda can be figured out by understanding its formula, which contain elements and metals with distinct properties.

Syrian Army Kills 470 Terrorists in Fierce Clashes in Eastern Damascus
The Syrian army and its allies inflicted nearly 470 casualties on the terrorists in Jobar district of Damascus during clashes in the past few days.
The fierce clashes between the army troops and the terrorists in Jobar district of Eastern Damascus led to the death of hundreds of terrorists and the government forces' control over all occupied regions.
The General Staff of the Syrian Army and Armed Forces also announced that the country's soldiers have regained control of all lost lands in Jobar.
Relevant reports said on Friday that the Syrian army troops captured terrorist-occupied regions in Jobar and damaged an operation room of the militants.
The army troops won back control of a textile plant in the Northern parts of Jobar district after heavy clashes with al-Nusra (Fatah al-Sham) Front terrorists.
Concurrently, the Syrian air force and artillery units targeted the terrorists' positions with heavy strikes.
A field source also reported that the Syrian fighter jets pounded the operations room of Faylaq al-Rahman terrorist group in Jobar, killing all the militants inside.
Meantime, the Syrian soldiers targeted a terrorist base in Sadkoub region, inflicting at least 10 casualties on the militants, FNA reported.

By Pragati Verma, Contributing Editor, Straight Talk
Leading technology enterprises are focused on building and delivering practical applications in the Metaverse.
By 2026, Gartner expects one in four people to spend at least an hour a day in this virtual reality – often termed Web 3.0 – to work, shop, attend school, socialize, or entertain themselves. The research firm also estimates that 30 percent of organizations in the world will have products and services ready for the metaverse by then.
While the exact outline of the interconnected immersive digital alternative to the physical world is still being worked out, key technologies driving the metaverse’s development are emerging.
Here are three technologies underpinning the next steps in Metaverse’s evolution:
Metaverse, at its core, is defined by its immersive experience for users in an interconnected, interoperable three-dimensional virtual world. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality devices that transport their users into enhanced or imaginary realities are one of the most popular ways to access this world today, making AR and VR the logical entry points to the Metaverse.
Morgan Stanley predicts the Metaverse presents an $8 trillion opportunity that will create new potential for VR and AR applications. In a blog post, their investment strategist (wealth management), Vijay Chander writes, “Think of the metaverse as a digital realm of the future, like the next evolution of the internet. Fully developed, it could one day allow people to interact, work and play in immersive virtual spaces. And as major technology players embrace the idea—and, in some cases, peg the future of their business on it—it’s also creating opportunities for investors, namely in VR and AR. In fact, as these technologies evolve to create increasingly connected digital experiences, total VR/AR spending worldwide is estimated to reach $72.8 billion in 2024, from $12 billion in 2020.
Extended reality might be at the forefront of the Metaverse now, but it will be impossible to develop new experiences and ways of interacting without artificial intelligence. AI engines, for one, will be required to generate avatars that not only have realistic and accurate hairstyles, facial expressions, and clothes, but can also interact with others in the virtual world. AI will also be used to create accurate avatars, digital humans, multilingual accessibilities, extensive VR apps and interfaces.
That’s why Meta is building what they “believe is the world’s fastest AI supercomputer” that can perform quintillions of operations per second. Their plan is to help train AI models with trillions of parameters needed to understand hundreds of languages; seamlessly analyze text, images, and video together; develop new augmented reality tools – and eventually build technologies needed in an immersive and interconnected metaverse.
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency
The Metaverse will require a verifiable, immutable ownership of digital goods and currency. By offering digital proof of ownership of assets, blockchain technology provides an ideal method for facilitating quick and secure digital transactions.
Companies like Decentraland, Sandbox, and Genesis World use blockchain technologies to create virtual worlds with casinos and theme parks and enable users to build, own, and monetize digital assets and their virtual experiences. Users can purchase things like plots of land, avatars, and digital apparel that are sold as non-fungible token assets—unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on the blockchain that can track a unique digital asset's transfer, ownership, and properties.
If you’re interested to hear more about the metaverse and it’s practical implications, HCL will be discussing this topic at the World Economic Forum. Find out more here

RECCER'S NOTES: A short, fluffy fic which nevertheless remains firmly in-character. Forget hearing the voices - you can practically smell them. Especially Bernard.
"Why all these questions? The bees were probably attracted by your stupid honey-scented shampoo! The small boy belongs to Fran! The hairy monster is evil and you are right to fear him, Max, and the child, Manny, is a cross-dressing midget on the run from the complete insanity of the Katzenjammer family. Now where. Is. My. Breakfast?"

FIC SUMMARY: Will the future of reading belong to CD-ROMs? Probably not, but they do provide a truly immersive reading experience.
RECCER'S NOTES: This is one of those fics I expect to keep coming back to. It's hilarious, and I'm really impressed with how right everything about it feels. The turns of phrase and the tone and the little details are all exactly perfect.

Do you change your strategy based on the play of other players at your table? For example, you have players who hit when the dealer has a bust card face up taking the bust cards and therefore the dealer does not bust.
Star from Ft Worth, USA
Unless you are a card counter, how other players play should not affect what you do. Basic strategy players should stick to the basic strategy no matter how badly the other players play. Other players are just as likely to help you as hurt you. In the end, it makes no difference how they play.
Can blackjack be beaten under the following casino conditions:
1. The game is dealt face up from an 8 deck shoe, with the cut card appearing after 5 decks have been dealt (3 decks behind the cut).
2. Dealer stands on soft 17.
3. No surrender.
4. Can double down on any 2 card total without an ace.
5. Can split aces once only, one card on each.
6. Can split any other pair to a maximum of 3 hands.
7. Can double after split.
8. Dealer takes original bets only on blackjack.
9. Can take even money on blackjack when dealer’s upcard is an ace.
10. Table max is 50 times table min.
11. Card counting is permitted if the counter plays the first hand of the shoe, and plays every hand. Counter can play any number of boxes, and any bet amount. Counter can stop at any time, but cannot rejoin a shoe after missing a hand, or join a shoe that is partway through.
Alex from Auckland, New Zealand
I haven't done any simulations, but my educated option is a definite yes, this game can be beaten. The strategy to use in this game would be to bet the minimum when the odds are against you and the maximum when they are in your favor. Normally a sudden 50 times increase in bet size would set off a huge red flag but it seems the counter could do this with impunity in your game. When Atlantic City first opened the casinos could not ask card counters to leave and entire tables were filled with people jumping suddenly from a $5 bet to $300, or whatever the minimums and maximums were. After taking a huge beating, the Atlantic City casinos begged the gaming authorities for a change in the rules, which they got. Not only could this be beaten, but I think it would be a card counters dream.
Please explain how to calculate the probability of a blackjack occurring in a single deck. I can easily work other hands but when a card can be either/or my brain cramps.
Mike from Bossier City, USA
The probability that the first card is an ace is 4/52. The probability that the second card is a 10 point card is 16/51. So the probability of an ace first blackjack is (4/52)*(16/51). Multiply this by 2 because the ten could just as easily be the first card and the answer is 2*(4/52)*(16/51) = 128/2652 = 0.0482655, or about 1 in 20.7 .
Bill from Niagara Falls, Canada
The probability of zero royals in 1,299,480 hands is 13.53%.
Many on-line casinos advertise that they payout 98% or a number close to that. They also claim that this number is audited by one of the big-six accounting firms. How is this number calculated? Also, is there a way to calculate my own personal payout ratio for a certain game within certain period of time?
Vahe from Glendale, California
The payout is the ratio of money won to money bet. For example if players bet a total of one million dollars and the total amount paid to winning bets was $998,000 then the payout ratio would be 98%. Keep in mind that as players recirculate the same money the house edge grinds them down so the typical player will retain much less than 98% of their original purchase. The way to calculate your own ratio if to keep track of the total amount you bet and the total amount you win and divide.
Do you have basic strategy for the following rules? Dealer takes 17-17, 18-18 and 19-19 ties, doubling after split is allowed, 3 resplits, no-peek, player can double 7-11 totals (soft and hard), dealer stands on soft 17, six decks.
Jari from Turku, Finland
Stanford Wong's Blackjack Count Analyzer is perfect for questions like this. Just plug in the rules and it produces an immediately basic strategy and is ready to run a simulation. Following is his basis strategy under these rules. I did a 31-million hand simulation using Blackjack Count Analyzer, which shows a house edge of 4.13%, under these rules. When I was in Finland they had single zero roulette, which has a much lower house edge than this game. Why the blackjack rules are so stingy in Finland I would like to know.

New Life Form: Crawling slime that bleeds
Picture: Courtesy YouTube
In 1973, a Dallas resident went out to the backyard only to stumble upon a reddish, jelly-like mass pulsating in the grass. News reports on the discovery claimed that a “new life form” had been found, and many people couldn’t help recalling the cult classic sci-fi thriller The Blob.
Scientists called to the scene, however, put any fears of menacing goo or alien creatures to rest by identifying the mass as an unusually large (46 centimetres or more than 14 inches in diameter) plasmodial slime mold.
Slime molds spend most of their lives independently, but during food shortages, they swarm and aggregate into an enormous single cell.
Slime molds have traits like both fungi and animals. They have very complex life cycles involving multiple forms and stages. During good times, they live as independent, amoeba-like cells, dining on fungi and bacteria. But if conditions become uncomfortable—not enough food available, the temperature isn’t right, etc.—individual cells begin gathering together to form a single structure. This happens when the cells give off a chemical signal that tells all of them to gather together. The new communal structure produces a slimy covering and is called a slug because it so closely resembles the animal you sometimes see gliding across sidewalks. The slug oozes toward light. When the communal cells sense that they’ve come across more food or better conditions, the slug stops. It then slowly does a kind of headstand. Cells in the slug now begin to do different things. Some of the cells form an anchor for the upended slug. Others in the middle of the slug begin making a stalk and some at the tip turn into what’s called a spore cap and others become spores in that cap. When a drop of rain or strong wind knocks the spore cap hard enough, the spores go flying out. These spores are like plant seeds. Each of them becomes a new amoeba-like cell when they land and each goes off on its merry way.
Slime molds were once considered fungi, but unlike fungi, they can move, and their cell membranes are made of different stuff.
Slime molds are made up of individual cells that form an aggregate mass. In their visible, aggregate states, they look like blobs, gooey or foamy masses, spilled jelly, or even dog vomit. They may be bright orange, red, yellow, brown, black, blue, or white.
These large masses act like giant amoebas, creeping slowly along and engulfing food particles along the way. If a slime mold aggregate is diced up, the pieces will pull themselves back together. The blobs can navigate and avoid obstacles and if a food source is placed nearby, they seem to sense it and head unerringly for it.
There are two kinds of slime molds. Plasmodial slime molds (the most common kind) share one big cell wall that surrounds thousands or millions of nuclei. Proteins called microfilaments act like tiny muscles that enable the mass to crawl at rates of about 1/25th of an inch per hour.
As long as there is enough food and moisture, the mass thrives. But when food and water are scarce, the mass separates into smaller blobs. The Plasmodium forms stalks topped by sphere-like fruiting bodies that contain spores that are carried by the rain or wind to new locations.
Cellular slime molds also produce spores, but these germinate into amoeba-like cells. The cells happily go their individual ways, as long as food and water are available.
When nutrients and moisture are scarce, individual cells send out a chemical beacon to attract other cells of the same species. The cells join up to form a mass that looks and acts like a slug to take them to a more favourable location.
actinophCells in cellular slime molds retain their individual cell walls when they form a mass, so the visible slug is actually a collection of hundreds of thousands of individual cells joined together.
Slime molds eat decaying vegetation, bacteria, fungi, and even other slime molds. They are most commonly found in forests.
