BkiUadM25V5hZMvJmkyJ | I was so disturbed by the strange happenings that I did not notice at first the package that had arrived for me.
It was small and wrapped in plain brown paper, much as if I'd ordered a video from one of those risque video catalogues.
I opened it and found a small leather-bound notebook, filled with impeccably neat and distinct handwriting, diagrams, and figures. It was Professor Vortmann's recent research on molecular data storage.
Professor Vortmann was clearly in great danger. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUeuzxK0flNeFb5dSn | Bitcoin mining rigs on fire sale as cryptocurrencies crash
The continued meltdown in the global cryptocurrency market has forced bitcoin mining hardware suppliers to sell off their machines at fire-sale prices.
Canaan Creative, the world's second biggest maker of cryptocurrency mining rigs, has already put all its Avalon-brand equipment on sale at US$200 per unit, according to company representative Steven Mosher in an email on Friday.
"You can think about this [price markdown] as me rescheduling Black Friday by a week," said Mosher, referring to the annual US shopping event that falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. This year, Black Friday was on November 23.
Canaan's flash sale on Friday, which was first reported by digital currency news site CoinDesk, marked a significant discount programme for the Chinese company, which previously sold its most powerful mining rig model – the AvalonMiner 921 – for US$742.
Over at Huaqiangbei, one of the world's biggest electronics markets, in the southern coastal city of Shenzhen, vendors are feeling the ripple effects of the crash in bitcoin prices.
Only a handful of shops remain among the dozens that used to sell cryptocurrency mining rigs at a shopping centre in Huaqiangbei. On a Monday afternoon, one of the vendors, surnamed Liu, was taking a nap, while other vendors were slacking off on their smartphones.
"There are almost no shoppers now," said the 50-year-old Liu. "We have been idle here for two months."
Liu had set up shop in Huaqiangbei in May this year after being convinced by friends to sell mining hardware. He still has not made any profit after investing more than 1 million yuan in the business. He plans to close shop once his one-year lease ends.
"Here's a sincere suggestion for those who want to make money with bitcoin: be cautious," he said.
The mining gear price cuts have come amid a crash in the digital currency market. Prices of bitcoin, the world's leading cryptocurrency, fell to a 13-month low of about US$3,600 last month, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin is currently trading at around US$4,000, down from US$6,400 at the start of November.
The total market value of cryptocurrencies has slumped to US$130 billion, which is less than one-fifth of its worth during the market's peak in January.
Bitcoin's deepening crash now rivals its worst-ever bear markets
A clash among supporters of bitcoin cash, the most successful bitcoin offshoot, was largely blamed for the market crash. The world's fourth largest cryptocurrency split into two distinct entities on November 16 amid long-standing, fundamental disagreements in their developer community.
That meltdown has left miners – those who process transactions in return for new units of cryptocurrency as reward – in a vulnerable position. It has become unprofitable for these enterprises and individuals to run at least four models of bitcoin mining machines, if they consume power at a rate of 0.4 yuan (6 US cents) per kilowatt-hour, according to F2Pool, one of the world's biggest bitcoin mining pools.
F2Pool, which is headquartered in Beijing, said at least 600,000 bitcoin mining machines have been shut down since the middle of November.
Mining bitcoin uses more energy than what's needed to excavate gold, platinum or copper: study
The cryptocurrency sell-off prompted miners to remove at least four models of bitcoin mining machines, including the Antminer S7 and Antminer S9 from Bitmain Technologies as well as Canaan's AvalonMiner 741, because these have become too expensive to operate under present market conditions, according to estimates by F2Pool last month.
While small and mid-sized cryptocurrency miners are likely to take advantage of Canaan's sales promotion amid the bear market, the big players will buy new mining rigs no matter what, according to Mosher.
"Bitcoin mining is a long-term investment, so I would not spend too much mental energy on a few days of turmoil," he said.
Cryptocurrency mining rig maker Canaan lets Hong Kong IPO application lapse
Still, the cryptocurrency market slump appears to have had an impact on Canaan's proposed initial public offering in Hong Kong this year. The company let its IPO application lapse early last month, according to information on the Hong Kong stock exchange website. The company has previously declined to comment on the matter.
The stock exchange and regulators had many questions about its business model and prospects, according to a November 15 report by Reuters, which cited sources close to the deal.
Bitmain, the world's largest supplier of cryptocurrency mining equipment, and Ebang International still have pending IPO applications with the Hong Kong stock exchange.

BkiUahjxK7Tt522WX3cv | It's a red sauce revolution.
Traditional hand tossed hearth baked.
Authentic italian. Hand tossed pizza. signature pasta.
Greco's Pizza Deli opened July 21, 1986 in Pasadena, CA, but the story started many years before that. My very first restaurant was my red Radio Flyer. When I was 10 years old, I sold mini hot dogs wrapped in Pillsbury dough to my friends and neighbors up and down the block. Even before that, in third grade, when I was on the Art Linkletter Show I proudly told the host I wanted to "own a restaurant" when I grow up.
I started working on the weekends as a dishwasher at 12 for my Uncle Angelo in his pizzeria, Angelo's in Alhambra. I was paid in pizza and lasagna. When I turned 15, I was allowed to apprentice with Uncle Angelo. Even after three years as an apprentice, he still limited my tasks to keeping his work table stocked with ingredients and manning the ovens. I watch and learned knowing one day I would have my chance.
At 27 that lifelong dream came true when I opened the first Greco's. Since then I have owned four restaurants with varying pizza dining experiences and now I am proud to have the new Greco's with a fast, casual, take-out concept. I have maintained the same tried and true recipes that my customers have enjoyed since 1986.
I look forward to serving generations of new customers in Glendora and to continue the tradition that started many years ago.

BkiUdew5qoYDgbkp4RgN | TA-65 Bioenhanced Now Affordable For Everyone.
Does the TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit supplement have the same ingredient as regular TA-65?
Yes, the new 30 capsule bottle has the same patented telomerase activation ingredient in the larger bottles of TA-65 that RevGenetics has provided for years.
What is the difference between the larger 90 capsule bottles of TA-65 and the TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit bottle?
The TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit bottle was made specifically for affordability to those clients that found it difficult to purchase the larger bottles of TA-65, and for those who switched to other products which didn't provide the benefits that TA-65 provided, but found themselves not being able to purchase TA-65 on a monthly basis. The larger bottles have 250 Units of TA-65, while the new TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit bottles have less of the special telomerase activation ingredient. The ingredient remains the best tested telomerase activator in the world.
Why did TA Sciences create the TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit product?
Unit bottle was a product waiting in the wings. Because of the new data provided to us from TA Sciences during that meeting, we felt that this new product would help provide TA-65 to those customers of our that wanted a world class telomerase activator, while addressing some of the cost issues.
While regular TA-65 products are made to be taken at certain dosages in a 3-6 month period, we felt that a lower dose that the TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit provides can be beneficial when taking the dose for a longer period of time as part of a daily set of vitamins for your well being. The new data that we will be providing soon also suggests that it the TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit bottle and other TA-65 products are better than previously thought.
Should I switch to TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit bottle if I am already taking the 250 Unit TA-65?
The 250 Unit TA-65 bottles provide more of the TA-65 ingredient and we believe will provide benefits in a shorter amount of time. We suggest to continue with your larger 90 capsule bottles of TA-65.
Should I switch to TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit bottle if I am using another product that claims to activate telomerase?
It had always been known that TA-65 was the best tested telomerase activator available. No doctor or no researcher can dispute that. When people chose to try a product other than TA-65, it was simply because of the price. With the introduction of TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit bottles that is certainly not the case now.
Here at RevGenetics we get emails from doctors that have pushed their own products, claiming 10x to 100x the the potency of telomerase activators, but simply can't produce or publish data to support their claims.
We forget that many MD's are good ear, nose and throat doctors, but are not qualified to do research or know their way around a research lab. We here at RevGenetics understand that, and that is why at RevGenetics we look to Dr. Valenzuela to help us with the reviewing of raw data, studies and performing research in the area of Telomeres, as that was his specialty at UCLA.
If you have been convinced by a doctor to purchase another product, that he can't even test himself or produce scientific evidence of his claims, then maybe it is time to come back to RevGenetics.
Can I take the TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 Unit supplement everyday?
Yes, the low dosage TA-65 Bioenhanced product, much like aspirin is made to be taken daily. We recommend taking TA-65 Bioenhanced 100 unit capsules with your daily regimen along with a Nitro250 and MetaCurcumin recommended products.

Original Article Post Date:
By Frida Ghitis
(CNN)
Last Saturday night, the Dutch journalist Ebru Umar was reportedly resting at her vacation home in the Turkish resort town of Kusadasi when she heard a knock at the door. Umar, a fierce critic of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was about to become an example of the very practices against which she has been fulminating in her newspaper columns and her Twitter account.
Turkish police reportedly detained her for 15 hours, and questioned her about tweets in which she quoted her own articles criticizing Erdogan. By Sunday afternoon she had been released, but was ordered not to leave the country while Turkish authorities decide whether to prosecute her under a law that makes it a crime to insult the President.
The move marked one more step in Erdogan's determined march to crush dissent. But what is even more notable is that Umar is a Dutch citizen (as a child of Turkish immigrants she also holds Turkish citizenship, which she reportedly says she wants to renounce) but was detained in Turkey over work published in the Netherlands. Erdogan's dismantling of press freedoms at home is deeply troubling, but his attacks against free expression in Europe and in the United States are unacceptable.
This is happening despite the fact that for many years, Erdogan was hailed as an example of a moderate, successful, democratically-minded Muslim leader. Indeed, speaking in 2009, President Barack Obama praised Erdogan, and Turkish democracy more generally.
But 13 years after rising to power, Erdogan has apparently lost his fondness for democracy. Turkey now holds one of the world's lowest rankings for press freedom, while hundreds of journalists have been charged or dismissed over news stories and books. Indeed, Turkey's justice minister said government prosecutors may be pursuing some 1,800 cases over alleged insults aimed at Erdogan -- and that is just since 2014, when he became president after serving as prime minister for more than a decade.
The government recently seized one of the country's most popular newspapers, Zaman, owned by a political rival. After changing hands, Zaman has predictably joined the monotonous pro-Erdogan chorus.
This would be worrying enough if it affected only Turkey. But it doesn't. The government has detained journalists from Brazil, Germany and the United States, among other countries, some of whom were covering the war in Syria and the historic refugee crisis.
It is that refugee crisis -- and the war that created it -- that has given Erdogan leverage with the West, and which has likely made Western leaders reluctant to properly take him to task. Yes, he agreed to stop the refugee flow in exchange for billions of dollars in aid and other concessions, but he has his hand on the lock and is able to open the gates and allow hundreds of thousands more refugees to head for Europe if he chooses.
Fearful of another giant wave of refugees, German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently caved to Turkish demands to allow the possible prosecution of a German comic who mocked the Turkish president. Jan Bohmermann read a poem on German television accusing Erdogan of having, shall we say, excessive affection for animals.
The reaction from Turkey's deputy prime minister was swift: "The Republic of Turkey demands that this impertinent man is immediately punished for insulting a president." He added that the poem was "a serious crime against humanity."
Merkel allowed the prosecution to go forward under an obscure law, but her move was met with an explosion of anger across Europe, with one British magazine responding by launching an "Insult Erdogan" competition.
But this is not the only example of Turkish overreaction -- the Turkish consulate also demanded that Geneva remove from an exhibition a photo showing a banner that blames Erdogan for the death of a Turkish teenager during anti-government protests in Istanbul. Unlike the German government, the Geneva municipality has no obvious vulnerability to retaliation by Erdogan and refused to comply with the Turkish demand.
Yet another Turkish attempt to stifle criticism raised the ire of the Dutch -- including journalist Ebru Umar. Last week, the Turkish consulate in the Dutch city of Rotterdam sent an email to Turkish groups asking them to report back on any insults aimed at Erdogan. After the outcry, the embassy claimed it had all been a misunderstanding.
And the bully tactics by Turkey's government were also on display in the United States late last month, when Erdogan's security detail was reported to have manhandled journalists and started scuffling with anti-Erdogan protesters, trying to rip the banners out of their hands. In a video captured by a Turkish journalist, a man identified in various media as a U.S. Secret Service agent is heard confronting one of Erdogan's bodyguards, telling him to "act like an adult" and that "this is America."
For now, Ebru Umar is stuck in Turkey, awaiting the outcome of her case. The Netherlands says it is working for her release. However, Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders reportedly told Parliament that the government cannot guarantee the safety of its citizens who travel to Turkey, a popular vacation destination.
That another state is warning its citizens about traveling to Turkey should give Erdogan pause -- his actions risk undermining the crucial tourism industry. But there must be more. Turkey still aspires to become a member of the European Union, and Erdogan should be told in no uncertain terms that his actions make that impossible.
It is understandable that Europe is concerned about retaliation -- not just over the flow of refugees, but because Turkey is also an ally in the fight against ISIS, allowing NATO jets to be based there. But democracies must defend free expression (and Europe should also remember that Erdogan needs the refugee deal, too).
Freedom of speech is already disappearing in Turkey, a sign that democracy, too, is dying there. But even if other nations will not push back forcefully about what Erdogan is doing in his own country, they should at the very least defend their citizens' right to free speech from Erdogan's assault -- and make clear to Turkey's president that his crackdown will have consequences.

BkiUd445qYVBjcNb2Pmk | 1. Problem exploration
- What are the feature I'm looking to support?
Upload, view feed, comment on a picture, follow other users.
- Are photos stored in raw format? Is it ok if we archive them?
- What's the life of an uploaded photo look like?
- How many times is it used in the first day after upload? First week? First month? After that?
- Numbers:
- how many photos uploaded a day? Any spikes that the system needs to support? 2M 23photos/second
- how many users does the platform have? How many active users
- how many photo impressions does the platform have?
- how many photos/accounts are popular (relevant for the cache)? 100M
- what is the average size of an uploaded photo? 200KB
- What other type of data can be attached to a photo? coordinates, comments, reactions, etc.
- How is the feed of photos calculated?
2. High level overview
- service is read-heavy. The read and write paths should be different.
- separate storage of image bytes from storage of metadata about images.
- sharding of storage
- focus is on availability, not consistency, an image that is not available to everyone immediately after upload is fine!
- caching of recent images
3. Solution breakdown
- read path: client queries the FE with an image id, the FE gets the location for that image from metadata server, then tells redirects the client to that image.
- write path: client signals to the FE that it wants to upload a photo. The FE asks the Metadata server where to upload it, the FE gets that info back to the client, the client uploads the photo to the Storage server, the Storage server updates the metadata server.
- storage server is sharded: the MS' job is to find a location for the photo. You want an even load on storage boxes. You want to be able to add capacity, you want to reshuffle popular images.
- hot images/accounts: add a layer of caching for images so we don't go to the storage servers.
- reshuffling, we want to move popular images to less used boxes!
- blob storage does image compression, stores images in different formats, say for mobile phones.
Data modelling:
- User: id, name, email, ..
- Photo: id, title, caption, lat, long, created_at, tags

There are NO short term sites any more. All sites are for ANY length of stay you have in mind. You should pick your site and set up then go down to the office and let them know where you have set up. If you get there after 5pm you need to go down to the office in the morning to check in. They take reservations but not for SPECIFIC sites. There are 29 sites and they take up to 29 reservations. The AF has changed the way they hire campground hosts so there isn't one right now, but they hope the hiring process will be completed on their newest one by May so there will be one on site to help with all this after that.

BkiUdG05qYVBL4eBuym4 | Timeless Tips // How Fast is the Boat Drifting?
When Bonefishing, it is important to take into account how fast the boat you are standing on is drifting. When you get some serious wind out there on the flat, you are going to be moving through the water faster than you think. This means that it will be harder to stay connected to your flies as you quickly drift upon them. This can make it nearly impossible to feel the eat of the fish. When in this situation, if you see a fish charge and stop, set! He just ate your Crazy Charlie. You can only feel the eat of the fish if you are tight to your fly which can be borderline impossible to do if the wind is blowing you on top of it faster than you can retrieve. On those windy days, rely on your eye sight and the behavior of the fish more than the feel. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Merida Initiative
Written by Escrito por
The "Mérida Initiative" is a multi-billion dollar effort by the United States government to assist Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean in their fight against drug trafficking organizations. Proposed under President Bush and implemented under President Obama, the program has provided close to $1.8 billion in assistance to the region to date. About $1.5 billion has gone to Mexico, $300 million to Central America and $40 million to the Caribbean.
In some ways, the initiative mirrors U.S. efforts to aid Colombia through what became known as "Plan Colombia". The money for the Isthmus region and Caribbean basin goes mostly for equipment and military hardware, and police and judicial training to deal with the increasingly violent and sophisticated drug trafficking organizations (DTOs). These DTOs frequently have better weapons and intelligence gathering equipment than their counterparts in the state and undermine law enforcement efforts by corrupting vast sections of the regional governments.
However, critics, which include the U.S. Government Accounting Office (GAO), have said the initiative's money has been slow to arrive and represents a small portion of what is needed. This is particularly true of Central American nations, which do not have the resources or training to face to the growing presence of largely Mexican DTOs in their territory.
The initiative has also come under attack by watchdog groups for its emphasis on the enforcement component of the strategy. Most of the aid has gone to the Mexican army and police who are fighting the DTOs. The Mexican army's growing role in the battle in Mexico has come under particular scrutiny due to allegations of human rights abuses by that institution. But while allegations of abuses have risen, accountability has not followed. Human Rights groups say military courts have not prosecuted any member of the military for abuses.The Obama administration appears to be aware of these criticisms and concerns. In its proposal for FY2011 funding, which officials dubbed "Beyond Mérida," the administration created a four-pillar strategy, which includes (1) disrupting the flow of drugs; (2) reforming the judicial system in Mexico; (3) creating a "21st Century border"; and (4) strengthening communities. Of the $310 million that would go to Mexico, $175 million would go toward justice reform. The proposal needs the approval of congress, which is likely to include a similarly large package of aid outside the auspices of Mérida to border protection.Resources

BkiUcovxK7Dgs_XS_cpR | Commander of the Russian navy admiral Vladimir korolev told about the directions of modernization of the submarine fleet of the Russian Federation. First, its qualitative growth is going to come the traditional way, i. E. Through the introduction and development of new means of targeting, communication and control, and improvement of missile and torpedo weapons. Second, increase the combat capabilities of submarines will be through robotics.
In Russia to date, developed a range of robotic systems: bottom base stations, repeaters, robotic unmanned underwater surveillance systems underwater conditions. Apparently, the workhorse of submarines should become gliders – autonomous underwater vehicles reusable that can be used as a universal platform media of different equipment and possibly weapons. Its development is carried out since 2011. Glider systems "Fugu" designed for signaling command, control and strategic missile submarines, inform their crews about the conditions of navigation in the areas of combat patrols.
One of the devotees of the relative publicity of robotic systems is a deep-water apparatus "Harpsichord-2r-pm". It is developed tskb "The ruby" in 2009, is designed for carrying out search and research work of the seabed. With the decision to supply the Russian navy "Harpsichord" will be part of the onboard equipment of nuclear submarines of the modernized project 949ам (such as "Belgorod"), and special purpose submarine bs-64 "Suburbs" of the project 09787. It was suggested that his task is to connect to the communications, laid on the ocean bottom, or their destruction.
General view of the auv "Harpsichord-2r-pm". Photo hisutton. Com parallel to the development of individual systems is working on the integration of the robotic equipment into a single system in order to ensure the ability to conduct network-centric warfare. | c4 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUczs5qhDBNgCmtBVM | SXSW Review: The Art of Self-Defense
Masculinity deconstructed
The Art of Self-Defense is the kind of film that continually evolves from the moment you start watching it. Actually, it probably starts changing even before that. Its plot description belies its actuality and even if you've seen director Riley Stearns previous off-kilter film Fault it won't prepare you for how different this movie is and becomes. Think Sorry to Bother You in terms of how the movie gradually morphs into something you never expected but makes perfect sense within the context of the film's world and its themes.
Also, The Art of Self-Defense is hilarious. Not gag reel, slapstick fun, but a smart, constant humor that will have you laughing your ass off from start to finish while simultaneously peeling back the movie's themes on manhood, violence, and gender. It is the best movie I saw at SXSW this year, and I saw Us.
THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE | Official Teaser Trailer
The Art of Self-Defense
Director: Riley Stearns
Reading the plot description for The Art of Self-Defense is misleading. Your expectations for a movie about a guy who meets a girl when he signs up for karate classes after he's mugged and stars Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots probably involve some sort of charming, indie rom-com with a manic pixie dream girl. It is not that, not by a longshot. Yes, Casey (Eisenberg) signs up for karate classes under the tutelage of the hyper-masculine Sensei (Alessandro Nivola) meeting Poots' Anna, another student in the class, in the process, but from there the movie goes completely off the rails in all the best ways.
Stearns is quickly becoming known for his crisp, hilarious dialog that finds its humor in being insanely straightforward. The movie almost takes place in an alternate reality where social constructs are stated openly and obviously. Conversations are rigorously deadpan and human interaction is brutally honest. It creates a perfect tone for satire that pulls laugh after laugh while still playing with dark tones and complex issues. It's delightfully weird and wonderful in every way and as the film progresses it just gets better and better, while making the ever spiralling world of the film grounded.
The other outcome of this style of writing and Stearns deadpan direction is that it calls out a lot of hypocrisy and idiocy within American society. Because people simply state what's going on the movie can easily expose some of our stupidest social norms, especially with masculinity. The underlying themes of the film dissect what it means to be a man in America, an obviously relevant topic right now. Casey is routinely mocked for his feminine name and told he needs to like German more than French to become a true man. His new found masculinity is clearly toxic but it also gives him confidence and freedom. His co-workers no longer mock him after he punches his boss in his face. Violence is the answer to his weakness and the plot spirals more and more out of control as he attempts to fit into the form of manliness espoused by the world around him. It is both funny as hell and strikingly poignant, a rare balance for any film that The Art of Self-Defense nails.
Jesse Eisenberg is obviously perfectly cast for this, but it's a rare role where he's not just playing himself. His ticks and mannerism, which are what him a star, are subdued here. When we first meet Casey he almost feels like he's on the spectrum until we realize that the universe he inhabits functions a little differently than ours. Poots plays off him just as blandly to the immense benefit of the film, though her character is neither developed as well or given as much to do — a fact the film knows full well, layering on a meta layer of satirical commentary about women in films.
What is so great about The Art of Self-Defense is that it tackles such serious issues in a way that makes them incredibly easy to understand. By taking everything to the nth degree and then delivering the story in flat, obvious dialog the movie shows how ludicrous many of our societal standards are. I'm being explicity vague about how the film plays out, which is restricting some of the commentary I can make on it, but that's because watching unfold the way it does is part of the way the movie takes down our culture's ideas of American manliness. Its steady ramp-up is the obvious conclusion to a world where toxic masculinity is taking to the extreme and that is both hilarious and scary. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUfmo5qhDCWcKLxrcx | Summer Dance. I don't think you could get a more fitting title for a gig series. Last Sunday, myself and a conglomerate of those with an ear for good music, shifted our feet at the National Art School in Darlinghurst, Sydney. And yes, we were bathed in sunshine for the vast majority. The very same batch of parties last year hosted the likes of DJ EZ, Omar S and Moodymann – some serious tastemakers in the dance realm. Round one for 2016 launched in a similar vein with revered UK house maestro Julio Bashmore (Matt Walker) accompanied by Germany's Florian Kupfer and locals Andy Garvey and EK Collective.
If you haven't yet heard any of this bloke's productions, I recommend fixing that as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the afternoon took a slight dive when Florian Kupfer stepped up, well when he eventually stepped up…as him and the tech crew battled to get his analog hardware up and running. And once he finally did begin, his brand of grim and clunky tech didn't suit the positive summery vibe. However that was all soon to be forgotten as the redheaded pocket rocket Mr. Bashmore took the reigns.
As the sun slid behind our sandstone surroundings, Julio already had us punters wrapped around his little finger. Traversing through a banquet of tunes, we were treated to soul and disco treats along with some of his very own thumping pieces. At times I'd stop boogieing simply to gaze at the setting in which we found ourselves. Beautiful flowing balcony's, lush lawns and perfect weather…a darn good spot for live music I'd say!
The highlight of the day came at the bitter end as Bashmore slowly mixed this in to a gang of drunken psyched summer dancers.

BkiUdcHxaJJQnJnbvKc4 | Assassin's Creed Movie Banner Debuts, Viral Marketing Kicks Off
Spencer PerryMonday, December 21, 2015
Assassin's Creed movie banner released
20th Century Fox has revealed the first banner for the upcoming Assassin's Creed movie, which is set to hit theaters one year from today! In addition, the viral marketing for the film has kicked off with the launch of the Abstergo website.
The film's official social accounts also revealed an image of Abstergo CEO Alan Rikkin's business card featuring a number that fans can call which seemingly reveals when to expect the trailer for the film.
"Hello, you've reached the voicemail of Alan Rikkin," the message states. "I'll be out of the office on business until March 25 with limited availability."
March 25, as you no doubt know, is the release date for the highly-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which Jeremy Irons also stars in, but mark your calendars as this could be when we'll see our first look at footage from the video game adaptation.
Michael Fassbender leads the cast of Assassin's Creed and is joined by Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception), Ariane Labed (Before Midnight), Michael K. Williams ("The Wire," Paul Feig's upcoming Ghostbusters), Jeremy Irons ("The Borgias") and Brendan Gleeson (Edge of Tomorrow). Justin Kurrzel (Macbeth) is directing the film.
The Assassin's Creed movie follows a character by the name of Callum Lynch who, through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, is able to experience the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day.
Assassin's Creed is set for a December 21, 2016 release.

BkiUfAw4uzliDHHXk7KY | 7:00 am (ish) – Theo wakes us. We try to convince him that it is time to relax and snuggle, and he tries to convince us that it is time for breakfast. After 10 minutes or so, Theo wins.
12:30 pm – Lunch, often together and generally cooked by Parent 1.
1:30 pm – We put Theo down for his nap or quiet time.** Sometimes, he stays in his room! Parents work.
3:30 pm (ish) – Theo wakes up and Parent 2 watches him while Parent 1 works or explores.
7:00 pm – Dinner together, generally cooked by Parent 2.
7:45 pm (ish) – We put Theo down for sleep. Sometimes, he stays in his room! We work, play, or read until bed.
Activities with Theo vary pretty dramatically depending on where we are located, but include a healthy mix of playgrounds, play dough, drawing, cooking, beaches, chores, and getting lost in new cities.
The above schedule was pretty standard for Sunday through Monday. Saturday has been our traditional "family day" where we hang out together and often go on adventures of various sorts. Saturday is also our Internet Sabbath, which we've observed for years, since our professional lives are so computer-oriented.
A challenge for me, both with this schedule and on this trip as a whole, is balancing working/parenting versus exploring. Sometimes, I'm overwhelmed by the number of sites I'm not seeing: the castles left unexplored in Ireland, glaciers that I didn't trek in Iceland, and the nifty museums not visited almost everywhere. And I worry that I'm probably not going to wish, on my death-bed, that I had spent more of my two-year-trip-around-the-world working.
And yet, as I remind myself (often), our goal on this trip isn't to try to see all of the sites. (That would be exhausting, even if we weren't working.) We're traveling more slowly, more residentially, and with an extraverted toddler who rarely wants to sit still – all of which make it harder to do more lots of traditional sightseeings, but also give us fascinating peeks into the lives of the people who live where we stay. And, we definitely do manage have splashes of sightseeing. It's sometimes just hard to determine the right balance.
* A week ago, we were joined by my sister Joanna who is going to be hanging out with us during the summer and nannying Theo during the weekdays. Hooray!
** A few weeks ago, Theo mostly abandoned naps. While he was perhaps ready for this step, we certainly weren't. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUddk4ubnhDOg0XASR | On Monday, Ricky Fowler made a resounding case for his ability to stay the course. The TPC Boston course that is. Overlooked no more, Fowler won the Deutsche Bank Championship on Labor Day after Henrik Stenson made what was a fatal error at the par 3 16th hole. Fowler hung around the top of the leaderboard Sunday in spite of missing every fairway on his first nine holes. His erratic driver didn't rattle him as he fired a third round 67 and was one shot behind Henrik Stenson going into Monday's holiday final round.
The fourth round saw Fowler and Stenson see-saw back and forth for the lead after Ricky's eagle at the par 5 second hole. Both players struggled with the heat hardened crusty greens at TPC Boston.
At the 16th hole Fowler's patience and tenacity paid off as Stenson miss clubbed his tee shot and found the water. "I pulled the wrong club on 16, and was trying to get the most out of a 7 iron into the wind," said Stenson, who shot 70. "That was the crucial mistake, making double there was really a killer." Fowler would finish with a 68 for a 15 under par 269 to win the 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship by one shot over Stenson.
Back in May, Fowler had shrugged off the sting of a poll of his peers in Sports Illustrated that found him the most overrated player on the PGA Tour by winning the Players Championship. Ricky played the final four holes at TPC Sawgrass in a phenomenal 5 under. It was something no one had ever done at any venue since such records began being kept in 1983.
The DBC victory moves Fowler to third position in the FedExCup standings and guarantees he will be in the all-important top 5 going into the season-finale at East Lake. That means if he were to win there, he would win the FedExCup and the $10 million that goes with it. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd6w4uzlh5xHhzfbZ | How To Train Your Dragon is one of my kid's favorite movies. I cannot tell you how many times we've watched it. My son, Kai, has collected every single dragon figure there is. Often times I find the rooms of my house laid out into a battle scene with dragons in the windows, under the pillows, on my desk, in the sheets of my bed, on the tables, and on the floor.
Have you seen this movie?! It's actually a super fun one to watch!
In the opening scene of the movie the dragons have taken over and are attacking the village, killing anyone in their way in order to steal food. The people in the village are afraid, in a panic, and have no choice but to fight back. They are running, yelling, and screaming.
No one is listening and everyone is losing their minds as the village is plundered.
Oh my goodness, doesn't this sound like motherhood at times?
Sometimes it feels as though my home has been taken over by little terrorists. It feels like our family is under attack, we fear we have lost not only our sanity, but our lives and goodness gracious where did all of the food go???
What comes of it is a beautiful relationship where instead of fighting WITH one another they now fight FOR one another.
So it is with parenting.
Maybe you're reading this and are a little bit confused. And I'm fairly certain that for some this thought of training your child might sound foreign or odd at first…so before you let your thoughts go wild, let me first go through a list of things that training is not.
Training is not treating your child like a pet.
Training is not beating your child into submission.
Training is not positive affirmation using treats and candy or manipulation.
Training is not a method to produce godly children.
Training is thoroughly explaining what is expected.
Training is a way to teach, through a great deal of practice and repetition, a child to respond to what is expected.
Training is taking away the guess work and is necessary so that your child knows exactly what is required of him/her.
Training comes LONG BEFORE discipline.
**Put simply: Training is the seed. Water it, and keep watering it, and the outcome is a garden of obedient, helpful, responsive children.
But I have found (and I confess, most of it the hard way) that much of the stress I feel as a mom is able to be remedied and alleviated when I focus first on loving and building a relationship with my kids, and then make a conscious intentional effort to TRAIN my children.
I once heard someone say that it is foolish for parents to think that we have been given children that do not need to be parented. That has stuck with me for years now.
Children need our direction, they need to be taught the big picture of how life works, but they also need to be shown the small things like how the "putting-away-of-toys" or 'how-to-walk-from-the-front-door-to-the-car" or 'how-to-sit-in-your-seat" works too. From the big things to the tiny things, they need to be taught. I often catch myself being surprised when my children don't know how to do something or are confused by what I'm talking about. Yet it is me that needs to be reminded that I have to keep teaching at the forefront of my mind. Every single day there is a constant never ending need for instruction.
Training is very different than discipline, though.
Meg, you are a very wise mommy! How do I share this with friends?
This is VERY helpful. What a great way to approach their behavior AND mine…. with patient training before discipline. Looking forward to part 2! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdiA4dbjiVENjo0dD | Q: Can I use full URLs in iOS cache manifest? If I use a cache manifest for iOS Safari in order to cache pages offline, will it still work if I use a full URL, such as
https://example.com/content/folder/image.jpg
in the cache file, or do I have to use relative URLs?
A: The document clearly states:
The URLs are file paths to resources you want to download and cache
locally. The file paths should be relative to the location of the
manifest file—similar to file paths used in CSS—or absolute.
So it should be relative URL.
But I also found an old link that says
Resource URLs can be absolute or relative to the manifest file. Each
URL must appear on a separate line.
You should probably stick to the latest document and use relative URL only.

BkiUbDg4uzki0mx0NAKo | On February 25, a leak made by Anonymous has been released involving Bank of America's intelligence reports distributed via @AnonymousIRC. Apparently, AnonymousIRC claims that bank of America is taking down all the paste created on the leak. Obviously this is something Bank of America wants to keep hush from the general public. So to oblige their request, CyberWarZone has decided to publish Anonymous findings for the whole world to see.
Torrent of leak can be found here.
We have anchored at U.S. shores again to accept a consignment of a data package that probably belongs to our dear friends at Bank of America, though lots of contractors and subsidiaries (aka lackeys) are involved as usual.
It is a known fact that Bank of America is paying contractors to discredit journalist and sabotage their work as well as spying on the Occupy Movement and Anonymous ever since. It was to be expected that these efforts continue and it was also expected that their security remains - at best - lousy.
To start with, we present you about 320mb of internal reports and and emails assembled for Bank of America by a sub-contractor named TEKSystems (who in turn are a subsidiary of the Allegio Group whose founder also owns the Baltimore Ravens). These reports and emails are mostly "information" gathered on public channels on the Anonymous IRC networks irc.anonops.com and irc.voxanon.net.
We were geniously amused by the fact that there are actually paid analysts sitting somewhere, reading the vast amount garbage that scrolls by in large public channels like #anonops and #voxanon. Even more amusing is the keyword list that was found, containing trigger words like "Jihad" or "Homosexual".
Additionally about 6 Gigabyte of source code was looted, which is currently under assessment. We can tell so far that this software belongs to ClearForest, a company specializing on text and social network analysis. It is reasonable to assume that this code is the base system for what was used to categorize and store the acquired infoemation. We will add the complete source code once we have finshied the initial assessment.
In the meantime, amuse yourself with the incredibly sensitive and important intelligence that BofA has gathered on Anonops and Voxanon (*smirk*). Please also note that the source has provided an accompanying release statement with the data. | c4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
BkiUdmY4ubngw5GMfJaN | The commonly known small, round embroidery frames are a relatively modern invention. Medieval embroidery frames are, unfortunately, only rarely shown on pictures (and those are mostly late medieval sources). These frames are usually rectangular frames with the embroidery ground cloth fixed in their middle - probably a form of slate frame.
Some medieval embroidery techniques can be done very well without any frame to hold the work, for instance the variations of counted work. Some other techniques, however - especially couched work with gold threads - were mostly or always done with a frame, according to the sources we have.
Dressing a slate frame is more work than fixing cloth in a round small frame, but is worth the while especially for larger pieces or complicated work. The top and bottom piece of the frame have a band affixed to them; the embroidery ground is stitched to these bands and then laced to the sides of the frame to tension it. A properly dressed slate frame has a very even, very good tension that is kept for a long time; it also allows to embroider long pieces of cloth without much hassle.
This slate frame measures c 60 x 60 cm and consists of the four wooden pieces and four pegs, all from untreated wood. Available wood kinds are beech, birch and maple. Maximum width of cloth is c 47 cm, length is (almost) unlimited. The many holes in the slates allow very fine tensioning in all possible positions of the top and bottom piece.
The frame can be ordered either fully furnished or unfurnished. The funished frame is complete with linen bands attached to the top and bottom piece (the bands are attached with copper nails). The unfurnished version does not have those bands. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

By By Dan Daley
Read more "Classic Tracks"
Dayton "Bones" Howe instinctively downplays his role in the creation of one of pop music's most memorable tracks. "I was just the engineer," he says. He was also "just" the engineer on hits for top-selling artists such as The Turtles, Frank Sinatra and Johnny Rivers, and before the '60s ended, this former jazz drummer and stockbroker's son would become one of the era's leading producers, creating hits by The Association, the 5th Dimension and, perhaps most famously, Tom Waits.
Howe would get to see the very beginning of the arc of The Mamas & The Papas' rise to the top through to its bittersweet end. In early 1966, "California Dreamin'" was the first of a string of sparks — the group's first six singles, including "Monday, Monday," "Words of Love" and "Dedicated to the One I Love," would all go Top 10 — that helped keep vocal harmony alive, well and hip in the stoned-out fuzzbox of the 1960s.
Howe came of age professionally in an era of the music industry when spontaneity was the currency of the business. Deals could happen — or not — just like that, as could careers. This record would be no different. The track to "California Dreamin'" had already been recorded before The Mamas & The Papas were even signed to producer Lou Adler's Dunhill Records label. John Phillips, the group's acknowledged leader and songwriter, was already getting noticed as a composer, and the group — he, Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot — was making some money doing background vocals around L.A., where they had moved the year before from New York. All four had roots in New York City's folk scene. Actually, it was Barry McGuire, of "Eve of Destruction" fame, who originally decided to cut John and Michelle Phillips' "California Dreamin'," and Adler and Howe had recorded the track for him. The night they were scheduled to cut the vocals, McGuire brought The Mamas & The Papas with him into United & Western Recorders as backup singers.
"We were working in Studio 3, which was so small that we always did basic tracks first and vocals afterward because you couldn't fit that many people in there at once," recalls Howe. "So Barry comes in with these four scruffy-looking characters. Lou said, 'Let's listen to them, but first let's get a few other things taken care of.' So they waited around while we kept working, doing more tracking. Then we took a break and Barry asked us again to listen to them sing. So we asked if another studio was open and Studio 2 was, so we went in there and John picked up an acoustic guitar and they sang four songs, including 'California Dreamin'" and 'Go Where You Want to Go'; basically, they sang what would become their first four hits. Lou turns to me and says, 'What do you think?' I said to Lou, 'If you don't take them, I will.' That did it."
Adler then peeled off $100 and gave it to the group — a down payment on the contract they would sign that same week, and $50 more than Capitol Records A&R chief Nick Venet had given them the day before. "I don't think Nick ever spoke to Lou again after that," says Howe.
The track, intended for McGuire (it was released on one of his albums), now became the basis for The Mamas & The Papas' first hit. It had been played by members of the famed Wrecking Crew, which included Hal Blaine on drums, bassist Joe Osborn, pianist Larry Knechtal and acoustic guitarist P.F. Sloan, who created and played the wonderful picked guitar intro that so perfectly sets up the mid-tempo track. Howe's tracking technique was typical of the era and varied little, if at all, from session to session. "In those days, we'd have a track mixed together in 10 minutes," says Howe. "There was none of this, 'Let me hear the kick drum and now the snare drum.' If you listen to instruments individually, they don't sound the same as they will when they're all playing together, whether it's a drum kit or a rhythm section. When you have the musicians in the same room together without headphones, they tend to balance themselves better than any engineer can."
Howe's standard microphone setup in that era was Shure 546 mics on the kick and hi-hat, as well as on the guitars, with a Sony condenser microphone on the snare. Howe would usually record bass and drums to one track, then put guitars and keyboards on another nonadjacent track (e.g., tracks 1 and 3 or 2 and 4), leaving the intervening tracks for vocals and bouncing. The actual track layout for this song was track 1, female vocals; track 2, guitars and piano; track 3, male vocals; and track 4, bass and drums.
The new vocals by The Mamas & The Papas were laid atop the original track, which fortunately was in the right key because the 4-track Ampex 300 recorder (which was basically two 2-track decks' electronics in a taller tower with new headstacks) didn't have much in the way of VSO capability. Howe set up the vocals the way the group naturally stood: the men and women facing each other, close in, each group with its own RCA DX-77 microphone. "I took the two mics and set them in a directional cardioid pattern, with the dead sides facing each other," Howe explains. "That gave us great rejection and allowed them to sing naturally. The song starts out with the guys singing 'All the leaves are brown' and the girls answering the lines. It's pretty much the group all the way through except for a few lines that Denny sang solo. When the time came for that, John walked around to sing at the girls' microphone."
The first-pass vocals were laid to one of the two open tracks. Howe then bounced the music bed tracks together on a second Ampex 300 deck and doubled the vocals, careful to keep the vocal tracks separate from the rest of the recording. Adler wanted a solo, and the arrangement for McGuire had a hole for it on one of the vocal tracks after the second chorus. "Lou was saying he didn't want a sax solo like every other rock record had," Howe remembers. "I knew that Bud Schank was playing flute on a jazz session in another studio because I had seen him earlier in the hall. So I went down there and said, 'I can get you another session when your 8-to-11 [p.m.] is done.' I set Bud up on one of the DX-77 microphones and he played the solo over the verse chord change."
Howe was working on a custom console designed by studio owner Bill Putnam. He recalls it as having no more than 12 inputs, possibly as few as eight, but still plenty for a 4-track recording and plenty more for what would be a mono primary mix. A stereo mix was done afterward at Howe's request, and Adler never bothered to show up for it. "He had the radio mix he wanted in the mono mix," Howe says. "Stereo was optional in those days."
In fact, as was often the case in this era, much of the mix had been done as the recording went along, with reverb from Studio 3's live chamber and EMT plate being recorded to the vocal tracks, and compression supplied by what Howe remembers as the prototype of what would become the 1176 compressor/limiter. "It was just a plain metal face with no numbers or anything on it," he says. Howe split the men and women right and left, respectively, on the stereo mix, just as they had stood in the studio. He didn't use a particularly light touch on the reverb on each pass, either, adding a bit more on the final mix. "The reverb was part of the whole '60s sound," he comments. "Everyone used it a lot on [all the vocal groups]: Jan & Dean and the Beach Boys and so on. It might have sounded the same, but you have to understand that back then, everyone made the same records. We were using the same studios, the same musicians, the same equipment. The only thing that changed was the artists. That's where the difference was."
Like pilots flying on instruments, engineers had to trust their judgment when applying reverb, because, as Howe points out, there was no way to monitor the reverb return separately on the ultrasimple signal path of the Universal console. "Those were very simple straight-line modules: an echo send, a fader and a mic/line switch," he explains. "The way you monitored it was to listen to the reverb recorded on the track with the vocals. You were making these kinds of commitments and decisions throughout the recording process as you went along. But the benefit was that when you layered the reverbs on each vocal pass, you got this wonderful, sparkling sound from the phasing in the chamber. We didn't plan these things; we discovered them as we went along."
With its lush harmonies that practically begged listeners to sing along, "California Dreamin'" was a pleasing slice of folk-rock in a time when other top groups of the day were slowly starting to turn toward psychedelia. The song quickly shot into the Top 10, peaking at Number 4 in the early spring of 1966. It was followed by a string of hits from the album If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears. The Mamas & The Papas never equaled the performance of that particular collection of songs, either as a group or in their individual solo careers, and personal demons would eventually destroy the group and, ultimately, two of its members: Elliot died in 1974 of heart failure after a handful of respectable solo hits and John Phillips passed away in 2001 after years of alcohol and drug abuse.
But Howe, who stays in touch with Doherty and Michelle Phillips (whom he affectionately calls "Michie"), remembers The Mamas & The Papas as the brilliant and dedicated musicians they were when they made that first record, even though they were still products of the age. "You name an excess — grass, alcohol, whatever — they did it," he says. "Lou [Adler] later said to me we should have recorded 200 songs for that first album, because their behavior got worse as they got more famous and successful. But when we made 'California Dreamin',' they were still poor kids. That picture of them in the bathtub on the album cover — that's how they actually lived. But once the money comes, you know what happens. They used to have a contest to see who could spend the most money in a week. John bought a house. Cass bought a mulberry-colored Aston-Martin. She won that week. But they sounded the way they did because they were a group, the same as the musicians in the studio. They don't sound like their individual instruments, they sound like a unit. Lou Adler said it best when he said to me, 'Bones, it's not a ham sandwich and a cheese sandwich, it's a ham and cheese sandwich.' That's what making a record is all about: how the parts work together."

BkiUbTI4eIfiUOAdVC4V | In the technologically advanced society we live in today with easy access to digital sources of communication, social media is becoming increasingly useful. This is especially the case for the town of Boone, North Carolina! Whether you're looking to find friends, promote your brand, get a ride, or even sell some of your personal items for extra cash, Boone's social media pages have it all.
App State Classifieds is a private page on Facebook where people buy and sell personal items. I have sold numerous items: shoes, artwork, video games. I have had amazing experiences through the platform. The page boasts over 35,000 members ranging from alumni, to students and Boone locals, so you're sure to find something that sparks your interest.
Another extremely popular page within the Boone area found on Facebook is Boone Student Beeper. This is a student-run page with over 24,000 members that is essentially a voluntary designated driver forum. "Beepers" post on the wall if they are driving, then you call or text them with your address for a cheap ride! Most of the time, a ride will only be $2 per person, if you have more than one person in the car, or $3 if you are riding by yourself. You also have the option of posting on the page, if you want to be a driver. This holds a huge opportunity for a good amount of money with minimal stress or work involved.
No matter what you need around Appalachian State University, social media has it all! You're a simple click away from exciting Boone opportunities. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUefnxK2li-F6JzUuX | OR, How can a Congress which can't control Social Security spending control the climate?
--— Sir John Houghton, first chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and lead editor of its first three reports.
Ahhh. The hubris of man.
The United States for the first time outlined a dual path Wednesday toward cutting greenhouse gases that would involve both the Obama administration and Congress.
Speaking at a U.N. climate conference in Copenhagen, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson described the EPA's decision that greenhouse gases should be regulated as complementary to U.S. legislation - not an effort to supplant the work of Congress.
Why not just sacrifice a virgin or two?
It would be as effective.
According to the journal Science (Nov. 5, 1982), termites alone emit ten times more carbon dioxide than all the factories and automobiles in the world. Natural wetlands emit more greenhouse gases than all human activities combined. (If greenhouse warming is such a problem, why are we trying to save all the wetlands?) Geothermal activity in Yellowstone National Park emits ten times the carbon dioxide of a midsized coal-burning power plant, and volcanoes emit hundreds of times more. In fact, our atmosphere's composition is primarily the result of volcanic activity.
To think that man can control the climate requires an almost arrogant belief in the abilities of man over nature. One would think that Greenies, who worship Nature as God, would understand that.
When the EPA gets the emissions of volcanoes or termites under control, then they can come back and ask for permission to regulate something else. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfTLxK6-gD5TlfdHh | There are many theories about why it was China's Sichuan Province of all places where the gastronomic use of chili peppers was taken to a whole new level. Whatever the reason, Sichuan food has become synonymous with spicy and mouth-numbing flavors thanks to chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. Apart from the places in Chinatown, Hange Restaurant serves some of the best Sichuan dishes in Budapest (Hange is also a bit outside the city center in District 9, but it's not as far as Chinatown).
Hange's two Chinese chefs make excellent vegetarian mapo tofu—soft and silky cubes of white tofu inside a sea of mildly spicy chili paste (€8). Many local Chinese order the laziji (€11), a Sichuan favorite of stir-fried chicken smothered in dried chilies. The kung pao chicken (€10) and the yuxiang pork (€10) will be a special treat for local Hungarians who're used to their unrecognizably glutinous versions elsewhere. The spice levels in most plates are manageable; if you're feeling brave, you can ask that the chef turn up the heat.
Hange draws a mixed crowd: for lunch, bureaucrats come here from the neighboring office park for the €7 two-course lunch prix fixe, while in the evenings well-heeled Chinese customers show up for the pricier a la carte menu.

BkiUdEHxK6Ot9V_E3xNc | Explore a New World In 'Annihilation' Trailer
Explore a Strange, New World in the First Full Trailer for 'Annihilation'
One of the best sci-fi books of the past decade, Jeff VanderMeer's novel gets ready for the big screen.
By David Grossman Published: Dec 13, 2017
Update (12/13/17): Alex Garland's Annihilation now has a full trailer, but should be viewed with caution if you want to go into the movie with fresh eyes.
Annihilation (2018) - Official Trailer - Paramount Pictures
The first teaser trailer for the adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation has finally dropped—and it looks incredible.
Annihilation (2018) - Teaser Trailer - Paramount Pictures
Annihilation, the first of VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, presents many challenges to any would-be film adaptation. The exploration of a tract of radically changed land along the northern Florida and Georgia coasts, the book traffics in metaphysics and the human conception of language as much as it does gothic horror and betrayal.
Directed by Alex Garland, the director behind Ex Machina, Annihilation looks like it will try to match the surreal colors and images of the VanderMeer's book as best it can. The four explorers, including the lead character played by Natalie Portman, seem to be well-cast and Oscar Isaac returns to another one of Garland's films. The visuals and score only make it all the more compelling.
But we've still got a long way until February. Luckily, this is one you're definitely going to want to read before seeing the movie.

A meaningful first step by the Bank of Japan to normalise monetary policy
3 min read 21 Dec 22
By Carl Vine, Fund Manager for M&G Japan Fund and M&G Japan Smaller Companies Fund
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally announced a change in its Yield Curve Control (YCC) policy today. In and of itself, the move was modest, with overnight interest rates staying put at -0.1% and the YCC band for 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) widening from 25bps to 50bps. (This is the amount bond yields would be allowed to move either side of their 0% target).
In symbolic terms, however, the step is far more meaningful. Whilst markets had not been expecting a move in December, recent intimations from the BOJ had started to guide the market toward a pivot at some point in 2023.
Following the announcement, the yen rallied around 3% versus the US dollar, the Nikkei share index fell 2.5% and 10-year JGB yields rose to 0.46% (the highest level since 2015).
As equity investors, we do not make it our business to forecast macro policy and we had no expectations for a policy change in December. However, we have believed that Japan's monetary policy was at odds with the prevailing growth, inflation and wage backdrop in Japan, which is as constructive as we have seen it this century.
The Japanese economy appears to be one of the few globally likely to experience a sequential rise in real GDP in 2023. It is one of the few with a steep rather than inverted yield curve. JGB yields have been pushing against the BOJ's YCC upper limit throughout 2022, prompting extraordinary bond purchases from the BOJ. Meanwhile, the yen's material decline has imported yet more inflationary pressure, inviting direct Ministry of Finance intervention. Something had to give.
In terms of Japan's equity market, the relatively positive and resilient trend in Japanese earnings revisions in 2022 has been helped by a weak yen and it is not unreasonable to expect the market to price in at least a partial reversal in this. No doubt, the punditry will be recommending the relative attractiveness of financials vs exporters in the near-term and sector gyrations seem likely as investor positioning is expected to adjust in the weeks ahead. We currently have no plans for major portfolio changes but remain alert to opportunities.
Whilst a sudden overshoot of the currency from one extreme to another cannot be ruled out, we are not unduly concerned by the near-term prospects for enhanced volatility. For us, the big picture is clear. We believe that Japan has exited its affair with structural-deflation. We suspect the BOJ is gradually becoming more comfortable with this same idea. The BOJ is however keen to avoid dislocation in bond and currency markets and wants to move incrementally.
Today's announcement should be seen as the first step towards normalisation of policy, in our view. Normalisation reflects healthier economic fundamentals and should be celebrated. In the near term, volatility may be elevated as a more balanced view of the yen needs to be digested. After all, the yen was above 150 versus the dollar just a few weeks ago. This move back to 132 has been fairly sharp and today's BOJ announcement might lead to some realisation and indeed concern that a move back to 115, where it started 2022, is not implausible for 2023 or 2024.
Japanese equities remain an attractive, long-term investment opportunity
Our view throughout 2022 is that Japanese equities represent a compelling and attractive, long-term investment opportunity. Structural earnings growth derived principally from corporate self-help is at the core of our thesis. Our view has not changed. Indeed, the more constructive outlook for prices and wages adds to our long-term optimism. With the yen reaching meaningfully into "cheap" territory in the late summer, in our opinion, Japan suddenly offered cheap equities in a cheap currency.

BkiUdRM5qhDACs7pJMu5 | Ok, You're getting to know me quite well now however, I reckon you're gonna think I'm a little weird after I tell you this but screw It I'm gonna tell you what happened yesterday afternoon because I'm still thinking about it and I don't know if I've lost the plot and my brain isn't working right or that what I did was normal and me just having a laugh because you'd do It too?
Basically, I got stopped in the street by someone who thought I was their long lost best mate, which I let go on for far too long. She was bringing up memories of college and us living two streets away from each other in crystal palace ( which I've never lived in ) She was telling me stories of how we used to steal pick n mix from Woolworths and sneak into the cinema to watch 2 films back to back, she found it hilarious as did I for all the wrong reasons tho. I kept saying that my brian is really rusty and I couldn't remember which just made her come up with more stories of stuff we had done together.
This went on for about 20 minutes and I think I started to believe that my name was Cassie, I went to college in Ealing and got a diploma in engineering and had a cat called Rio De Janeiro. I can't quite remember at what point I said Is your brother still going out with …. then I left it for her to answer, basically I was actually getting fully involved and took it like we were doing spontaneous improvisation! It was jokes. It ended in her asking for my number and then I just froze my brain stopped working which must have looked so obvious as I had this vacant look on my face then I basically just made it up and I'm sure I added two extra digits.
Now my question here is why did I carry this on? Why was I finding it that entertaining to carry it on? Would you have done the same? Now I do wanna say that I did say I don't remember any of this for a while at the beginning but kind of got stuck in and treated it like we were being graded on some drama performance. She probably knew I was lying and filmed the whole thing for some show making me look like an idiot but I found it funny anyway! Please tell me I'm normal?! | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Poll Shows Trump More Popular Than Any Other Time Of His Presidency
July 26, 2018 Al Bawaba News 0 Comments
By Al Bawaba News
More Americans now approve of the job President Donald Trump is doing than at any other period of his presidency, new poll research showed Tuesday.
The Gallup Poll showed Trump's approval rating at 42 percent for the sixth quarter of his administration. The quarter ran from April 20 through July 19.
His latest rating is an improvement over the 39.1 percent he saw in the fifth quarter.
The sixth quarter included a personal high of 45 percent during the week of his historic June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The approval rating after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where he publicly doubted U.S. intelligence accounts of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, appeared unaffected.
Trump's best mark, however, is still historically low compared with the nine other post-World War II presidents in their first term in office. It is the lowest of all but one — Jimmy Carter, who held a 41.8 percent approval in his sixth quarter in 1978.
Party lines show an expected divide on Trump's sixth quarter, with 88 percent approval among Republicans, 36 percent among independents and 9 percent among Democrats.
The poll notes other presidents were also below 50 percent approval at this point in their presidencies, including Ronald Reagan (44.2 percent), Bill Clinton (46.1 percent) and Barack Obama (47.3 percent), who all three, like Carter, were serving during challenging economic times.
George W. Bush had the highest sixth-quarter average, 74.9 percent, which came just seven months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
From a broader perspective, Trump's sixth-quarter average ranks in the bottom fifth of the nearly 300 presidential quarters in Gallup's polling history.
Results were based on interviews with more than 19,000 adults and has a margin of error of 1 point.

BkiUdag5qYVBi77IMFxN | Q: How to set probability of something happens based on variable I wonder how to set probability of something happens based on a variable.
Let's say:
var a = "5235235";
var b = "5235235";
var rand = Math.random();
if (rand < 0.3) {
console.log("30% chance");
} else {
console.log("70% chance");
}
I have tried the percentage chances like so, but I don't really know how to set for example 70% chance of something happened if variable a is equal to variable b. Any ideas?
A: Use a variable to hold the percentage, instead of hard-coding it, then assign it depending on the condition.
var pct = 0.3;
if (a == b) {
pct = 0.7;
}
var rand = Math.random();
if (rand < pct) {
console.log("Success!");
} else {
console.log("Failure. :(");
}
A: okay so if you want two mutually exclusive events with one occurring 30% of the time and the other occurring 70% of the time, then
chance = random.randint(1,100)
if chance <= 30:
print "30% chance of getting this"
elif chance <= 70:
print "70% change of getting this"

BkiUdog5qU2Ap6C-CWHe | San Bernardino medical marijuana patient still…
San Bernardino medical marijuana patient still in custody
By Mike Cruz | mcruz@scng.com | San Bernardino Sun
SAN BERNARDINO – A San Bernardino medical marijuana patient is languishing in county jail as prosecutors pursue charges against him for possessing and cultivating the controversial drug.
Supporters of 51-year-old Don Lawrence say he was a patient at the THCF Medical Clinic in Riverside when police arrested him in October at his home. He had 12 marijuana plants, an amount police said exceeded state guidelines.
Lawrence and his two adult sons were jailed, and they all were released upon posting bail. But Lawrence was taken into custody again Jan. 12 and his bail was increased to $500,000. Prosecutors alleged he had two prior offenses dating back to 1994 and 1987 – the latter occurring more than 22 years ago.
"Twelve lousy plants. What the heck is going on here?" activist Lanny Swerdlow asked during an interview.
Swerdlow is director of the Marijuana Anti-Prohibition Project, an Inland Empire-based medical marijuana patient support group and law reform organization.
Lawrence's family members say he suffers from nerve damage in his back and nephrosis of the kidneys, also called kidney disease. Swerdlow called it "a travesty" that Lawrence remains in custody while the case proceeds.
Lawrence has a bail hearing scheduled April 9 in San Bernardino Superior Court. The defendant is currently represented by conflict-panel lawyer James Gass, but new representation is being sought in San Francisco-based lawyer Zenia Gilg.
"My intention is to make a motion to substitute in, hopefully next week," Gilg said Thursday. She declined to speak specifically about the case because she is not the attorney of record.
Gass could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Gilg has represented clients in other medical marijuana cases in San Bernardino County. Most recently, she represented 66-year-old Richard McCabe, who was arrested with his wife, JoAnn Cates, in August 2007 after deputies found a greenhouse containing 120 marijuana plants in various stages of growth on the couple's property in Johnson Valley.
Prosecutors dropped the marijuana-related charges against McCabe and Cates just prior to a preliminary hearing in March 2009 in Joshua Tree Superior Court.
Elijah Lawrence, the son of Don Lawrence, said his father used to be transported by ambulance to get shots at a local hospital. Since he started using medical marijuana, Lawrence was able to stop getting the shots.
"He does a lot more smiling than he normally does," Elijah Lawrence said. "He seems like he's a happier person. Otherwise, the pain has him grouchy."
A doctor at the THCF Medical Clinic gave the elder Lawrence a recommendation to grow as much marijuana as he medically needed, beyond the state guidelines of six mature or 12 immature plants and 8 ounces of processed marijuana.
"But he still didn't do it, because he was worried about the police," the defendant's son said. "He never went over the limit at all."
Police allege Lawrence had 12 plants and two pounds of marijuana which Swerdlow, who has been following the case, says was allowable under the doctor's recommendation to exceed the limit. Lawrence did not have a state-issued ID card from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health.
In San Bernardino County, ID cards became available in August through the county Public Health Department, confirmed county spokeswoman Lynne Fischer. Patients can call 800-782-4264 to set an appointment to fill out the application, which is submitted to the state, she said.
The temporary moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries in the county is still in place through June. County staff have been working to develop appropriate guidelines, Fischer said.
Prosecutors say the issue of medical marijuana has not yet been argued in court in Lawrence's case, and it was not established as a defense at the Jan. 12 preliminary hearing.
"The way it's charged, it's possession for sale of marijuana," said Deputy District Attorney Rosa Clark. "We are prosecuting it as a sales case." Lawrence has been charged with cultivation and possession of marijuana for sale and maintaining a place for sale of a controlled substance.
"It's our burden to prove these charges beyond a reasonable doubt," Clark said. An offer of a plea bargain was presented to Lawrence at his last hearing, and he has rejected all offers, she said.
Lawrence's family say police told them that they spotted the plants when they looked over a neighbor's gate into a rear yard of their residence.
The defendant was also growing outdoors for two other patients at the time and harvests his crop only once a year.
Lawrence's two sons, Elijah Lawrence, 18, and Sequwan Lawrence, 21, were also arrested at the same time as the defendant, because they were home at the time. The sons remain out of custody on bail and have a trial date set for April 12, according to court records.
Initially, prosecutors did not allege prior offenses in the criminal complaint against Lawrence, Clark said. But they were later alleged, after the preliminary hearing, and Lawrence was taken into custody.
Lawrence was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, a firearm, in April 1994 in San Bernardino County and robbery in October 1987 in Los Angeles County, according to the complaint.
If the bail hearing does occur at the defendant's next appearance, prosecutors plan to argue against his release or a bail reduction.

BkiUeszxK7IDP-3_7yzl | Late this afternoon/early evening, I walked from parking space near Marshlands Rd. to the Highway 84 overcrossing/bridge to the North side of Coyote Hills Regional Park, passing a large open pit quarry along the way, that was filled with a pool of green water at the bottom. I followed this unpaved trail to the end/start of Apay Way trail (east of "No Name Trail") -- then back to my car the same way.
A small group of snowy egrets were still hopping around a bit (must be breeding season); a (California King) snake absorbing a bit of sun on the trail quickly disappeared into the grass when it sensed I was approaching; and a minute later I was looking at a great blue heron standing perfectly still - the silent hunter -- standing in yellow-green algae. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdMDxK7Tt6AlxDvun | Q: Finding unknowns from three equal equations Say I have three equations:
$ x_1A + y_1B + z_1C = 1 $
$ x_2A + y_2B + z_3C = 1 $
$ x_0A + y_0B + z_0C = 1 $
Where $x_1$, $y_1$, $z_1$, ect. are known values.
How do I get each of the three values (A,B,C) from these equations? If someone could take the time to explain their suggested solution that would be great, too.
A: For generality we will assume that the RHS are $t_0,t_1,t_2$ instead of $(1,1,1)$.
Express $A$ from the three equations.
$$A=\frac{t_0-y_0B-z_0C}{x_0}=\frac{t_1-y_1B-z_1C}{x_1}=\frac{t_2-y_2B-z_2C}{x_2}.$$
This gives you a system of two equations in $B,C$ which you can rewrite
$$\left(\frac{y_1}{x_1}-\frac{y_0}{x_0}\right)B+\left(\frac{z_1}{x_1}-\frac{z_0}{x_0}\right)C=\frac{t_1}{x_1}-\frac{t_0}{x_0},\\
\left(\frac{y_2}{x_2}-\frac{y_0}{x_0}\right)B+\left(\frac{z_2}{x_2}-\frac{z_0}{x_0}\right)C=\frac{t_2}{x_2}-\frac{t_0}{x_0}.
$$
Now express $B$,
$$B=\frac{\left(\dfrac{t_1}{x_1}-\dfrac{t_0}{x_0}\right)-\left(\dfrac{z_1}{x_1}-\dfrac{z_0}{x_0}\right)C}{\dfrac{y_1}{x_1}-\dfrac{y_0}{x_0}}=\frac{\left(\dfrac{t_2}{x_2}-\dfrac{t_0}{x_0}\right)-\left(\dfrac{z_2}{x_2}-\dfrac{z_0}{x_0}\right)C}{\dfrac{y_2}{x_2}-\dfrac{y_0}{x_0}}$$ and you get a linear equation involving only $C$.
$$\left(\dfrac{\dfrac{z_2}{x_2}-\dfrac{z_0}{x_0}}{\dfrac{y_2}{x_2}-\dfrac{y_0}{x_0}}-\dfrac{\dfrac{z_1}{x_1}-\dfrac{z_0}{x_0}}{\dfrac{y_1}{x_1}-\dfrac{y_0}{x_0}}\right)C=\dfrac{\dfrac{t_2}{x_2}-\dfrac{t_0}{x_0}}{\dfrac{y_2}{x_2}-\dfrac{y_0}{x_0}}-\dfrac{\dfrac{t_1}{x_1}-\dfrac{t_0}{x_0}}{\dfrac{y_1}{x_1}-\dfrac{y_0}{x_0}}$$ which is trivial to solve.
This is the essence of the Gaussian elimination method, which evaluates the Cramer fractions in an efficient way.
A: According to Cramer's rule:
$$A = \frac{det\left(\begin{matrix}1 & y_1 & z_1\\1 & y_2 & z_2\\1 & y_0 & z_0\end{matrix}\right)}{det\left(\begin{matrix}x_1 & y_1 & z_1\\x_2 & y_2 & z_2\\x_0 & y_0 & z_0\end{matrix}\right)}$$
$$B = \frac{det\left(\begin{matrix}x_1 & 1 & z_1\\x_2 & 1 & z_2\\x_0 & 1 & z_0\end{matrix}\right)}{det\left(\begin{matrix}x_1 & y_1 & z_1\\x_2 & y_2 & z_2\\x_0 & y_0 & z_0\end{matrix}\right)}$$
$$C = \frac{det\left(\begin{matrix}x_1 & y_1 & 1\\x_2 & y_2 & 1\\x_0 & y_0 & 1\end{matrix}\right)}{det\left(\begin{matrix}x_1 & y_1 & z_1\\x_2 & y_2 & z_2\\x_0 & y_0 & z_0\end{matrix}\right)}$$
The Cramer's rule works if ${det\left(\begin{matrix}x_1 & y_1 & z_1\\x_2 & y_2 & z_2\\x_0 & y_0 & z_0\end{matrix}\right)} \ne 0$. Otherwise, the system is linearly dependent and either has no solutions, or infinite number of them.

SKEDBALL: Sochi Winter Olympic Ratings

The first Saturday of Winter Olympic coverage averaged a 6.5 adult 18-49 rating from 8:30-11:00 pm last night on NBC. This must be slightly disappointing for the network, as last night was a a few notches below the comparable night from Turin in 2006, after seeing a Friday Opening Ceremony number (8.7 rating) closer to Vancouver 2010's pace. Last night featured coverage of: Team Figure Skating Ladies' Short Program and Ice Dancing, Men's Slopestyle and Women's Moguls.
Through Saturday night, the 2014 Sochi Games are averaging a 7.2 adult 18-49 rating in prime time, between Vancouver (8.4) and Turin (6.6) through the same night. The multi-night averages are listed at the bottom of the following chart, with the ratings weighted by number of minutes each evening. The next few nights will be very interesting to see if Sochi is really more like Vancouver or if it heads toward the final average for Turin. The latter scenario means little to no profitability for the Games and a lot of make-good commercials in the second week of competition to satisfy underwhelmed advertisers.
SKEDBALL: Winter Olympic Ratings Track
NBC averaged a 6.6 18-49 rating from 8-11 pm last night, well ahead of the same night in Turin 2006 (5.6) and Vancouver 2010 (5.5). Events last night included: Men's Halfpipe, Pairs' Short Program, and Women's Ski Jumping. Through Tuesday, Sochi is averaging a 6.9 adult 18-49 rating for the Olympics…
SKEDBALL: Winter Olympic Ratings Update
After a relatively good night Tuesday, last night's Olympic coverage on NBC (5.6 adult 18-49 rating from 8-11 pm Wednesday night in the delayed "fast" nationals) was significantly below the comparable night for Turin 2006 (6.0 rating) and miles below Vancouver 2010 (9.0 rating). Last night's coverage featured: Women's Downhill,…
The first Sunday night of Olympic coverage averaged a 6.9 adult 18-49 rating on NBC from 7:00-11:00 pm. This is well below the 7.5 rating on the same night in Turin and even slightly below the relatively weak night in Vancouver (7.0). Last night's coverage featured: Team Ladies' Free Skate…
A brutal night for NBC from Sochi: a preliminary 4.5 adult 18-49 rating from 8:00-11:00 pm, versus a 5.5 rating on the same night in Turin 2006, a 5.4 from Vancouver 2010 and 8.5 from Salt Lake City 2002. Events last night included: Men's Figure Skating Final, Men's Super Combined, Women's…
Thursday night's Winter Olympic coverage from Sochi averaged a 5.9 adult 18-49 rating in the fast nationals from 8-11 pm on NBC. This is down one tenth from last Thursday's first-ever Opening Ceremony-eve coverage (a 6.0 rating when no medals where at stake). Also, last night's coverage was slightly behind…

BkiUed7xK7kjXLSrGo0y | An adolescent moose—still young and naïve—used to wander a circuit around the house where I lived one winter in Wilson, Wyo. He'd nibble the low-hanging tips of the willow tree outside our house looking like an elephant in a circus act, his ungainly front legs balanced on the top of the snow pile plowed into a mound in our driveway.
The wild game was everywhere that winter. On my long ski outings down the dike along the Snake River, I'd often look through the trees, alerted by the scent of animal musk in the air, in time to see a half-dozen ghostly figures (a herd of elk) bounding away from my approach.
These were animals not normally seen in or around town. Winter was particularly long and hard that year. Following their ancestral knowledge and animal instinct, they'd come into the valley, among the people—relative newcomers to the area in the scope of animal habitation—to where they knew the snow was not as deep.
Everywhere in the West—in Utah as much as in Wyoming—houses are finding purchase where animals once grazed. Sometimes, it can seem like we live in harmony; isn't it nice to look out from our kitchen window and watch a deer chew grass on the lawn? But more often, the deer, elk and moose get the short end of the stick. Wildlife's greatest challenge today, according to the wildlife biologists who study them, is finding a safe home. In winter (and in summer), wildlife increasingly compete for range lands with urban development and agricultural interests.
Winter's challenges—deep snow, scarce food and cold temperatures—make it an especially difficult and stressful time of year for the animals. When human presence disturbs wildlife, the situation worsens. Forced to move, animals expend much-needed energy, and mortality rates jump.
For those who like to get out in the snowy mountains for snowmobiling, skiing or other recreation, it's important to recognize and reduce our effect on wild animals. In Wyoming, programs like Don't Poach the Powder teach locals and visitors about seasonal closure areas, wintering grounds that are left to the elk and other creatures. When closing historical wintering grounds isn't a possibility, such as in areas where towns and cities are already established, other options are available.
Here in Utah, one such solution lays across 14,000 acres in Cache Valley, just south of Logan. Hardware Ranch, a wildlife-management area (WMA) owned by the state and managed by the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), was established in 1945 as a permanently protectedwintering ground for the area's Rocky Mountain elk population. The preserve wasn't exactly where the elk normally migrated in the fall; that land must have been pretty choice, because it was exactly where the pioneers chose to build their houses and till their fields. To lure the elk to the new management area, the Division of Wildlife Resources began a feeding program of supplementing the herd's forage with hay, a practice that continues today. By now, the local herd—about 600 animals strong—knows exactly where to go. Each winter, as the snows move them out of the higher elevations, the elk trickle into Hardware Ranch.
The concentration of elk every winter at Hardware Ranch makes it a perfect place for biologists to study the animals. Learning more about their biology and population dynamics hopefully will lead to improved herd-management techniques across the state. It also gives the Division of Wildlife Resources an opportunity to teach the public more about Utah's state animal. Starting in December and continuing until March, visitors to Hardware Ranch can take elk-viewing wagon rides through the management area.
Moose, elk and deer sightings are no longer a daily winter reality since I moved back to the city. Sometimes I wonder if they are even out there in the mountains where I now recreate, but of course they are. And whether I see them or not, I'll be sure to try and give them the space they deserve. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUdNo5qhDBWAzXsH-x | It's no wonder that so many people seek refuge from themselves in endless distractions, mind-numbing addictions and mindless philosophies. They are running away from the realization that their lives have no purpose. The horrible truth is that a life without a defined purpose is a life of no purpose; and a life of no purpose is no life at all. It is merely an existence, an existential wasteland.
On the other hand, a purposeful life is an abundant, joyous, fulfilling and meaningful life.
How do you get a life of purpose and meaning? You make it up. That's right. You just decide. It does not have to be altruistic. It does not have to be grandiose. It does not have to be in accord with anybody else's expectations or standards. The only thing your purpose must be is genuine.
Genuine means that it must be real to you; that is, in harmony with your personal ideals and desires. It does not matter one whit what I (or anyone else) think about your chosen purpose. It only matters that it is meaningful to you.
It does not have to be a life long commitment. Chances are, your ideals and desires will evolve over time, as you grow, and so, your personal purpose will also change or evolve. Some people are blessed with a life long passion that drives their whole lives. Most of us change from year to year or decade to decade as the world changes and as we change with it. Your devout purpose of today can be the same: life long, or a stepping stone to a new passion.
The problem most people have is that they look to some outside force to supply the purpose of their life, like society or religion. The result is that they end up with some assigned purpose that is not real. The purpose of your life must be what you choose, not what is chosen for you.
The answer lies in your heart more than in your mind. What do you love? What do you desire? What makes you happy? Answer these questions and you will be very close to discovering the purpose of your life.
Do each thing each day with a specific purpose. Ask yourself constantly…"why am I doing this? to what end? what is the purpose of this action? what is my intent in doing this thing?" Once you begin to act intentionally throughout each day, you will soon discover that each day has purpose and meaning. Days become meaningful weeks; weeks become meaningful years; years become meaningful lives. It is your conscious choice in THIS moment to live, think, believe and act 'on purpose' that will create a purposeful life.
Begin now… What exactly is your defined purpose of reading this article?
A person without a definite purpose in life is more handicapped than the most disadvantaged or disabled. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUdivxK1yAgWt7-oFl | Grace Hirst Shackleton (1847-1852)
Grace Hirst Shackleton was a victim of the Holmfirth Flood of 1852.
She was born on 20 June 1847, the daughter of joiner Richard Shackleton and his wife Tamar (née Green), and was baptised on 11 July 1847 at Holy Trinity, Holmfirth. She was named after her paternal great-grandmother, Grace Hirst.
By 1851, the family were living at Mill Hill in Holmfirth.
With the exception of her eldest sister (who resided with Tamar's parents), the Shackleton family was killed in the early hours of 5 February 1852 when the Bilberry Reservoir burst its embankment.
The Huddersfield Chronicle reported on the destruction at Holmfirth Mill (Mill Hill):[1]
Immediately adjoining four cottages are swept down, and twelve lives lost. In the first house, occupied by Mr. Firth Thewlis, the family are all saved, as also the family in the second house, tenanted by Mr. John Tate ; but in the third house, occupied by Mr. Sidney Hartley, his wife, and family of nine persons, the whole of the inmates are lost, excepting four sons, who escaped on a portion of the roof left standing. The fourth house, occupied by Mr. Richard Shackleton, has suffered serious damage, and Mr. Shackleton, his wife, and three children are all drowned.
The bodies of her mother and two siblings were recovered and buried on 9 February at St. John's Church, Upperthong. However, Grace Hirst remained missing and the following description was issued:
Grace Hirst Shackleton, 4½, Holmfirth ; small child of her age, dark brown hair, and a slight scar from a burn on the side of her neck.
Her body was found at around 3pm on Friday 20 February. According to reports, she was found in an upright position and buried up to her armpits in mud at Lower Mytholm Bridge dam.[2] She was interred the following day at Upperthong.
The family's gravestone is inscribed with the following:[3]
THE FOLLOWING PERSONS,
HUSBAND, WIFE AND CHILDREN,

Farm Spirit Adds World-Class Culinary Talent to Team
Modernist plant-based restaurant Farm Spirit is enhancing its team with some world-class culinary talent. Chef Scott Winegard will be joining chef/owner Aaron Adams behind the stoves as co-chef at the newly opened expanded location in SE Portland.
Winegard brings over 20 years of cooking experience, most recently serving as the chef and culinary director for plant-based culinary institution Matthew Kenney Cuisine. Since 2012, he has directed the recipe development and execution for the company's culinary schools and restaurants all over the globe. During his tenure, Winegard opened 30 concepts such as Plant Food and Wine in Venice, Calif. and Miami, Double Zero in New York, and Asian-inspired Arata in Belfast, Maine.
With Winegard now relocated from Los Angeles, he will take on the savory portion of Farm Spirit's menu with Aaron focusing on desserts. The two chefs see the alliance as a natural progression of a friendship rooted in similar culinary style, philosophy and love of the region's ingredients.
"Scott was the one who nudged me to open Farm Spirit years ago and really inspired me put my ideas into action," says Adams. "So when Scott started talking to me last year about him wanting to make a change, it just felt like this was a great opportunity to reciprocate his kindness and up our culinary game at the restaurant in one fell swoop."
For Scott, Farm Spirit presents an opportunity to focus his creativity on one concept in a single location, after eight years of juggling multiple concepts and teams and extensive travel. "It sounds funny, but I'm looking forward to working with people I can look in the eye. When you work at a global organization, so much of the job is virtual. I'm excited about the tangibility of being at Farm Spirit, face to face with the team and seeing the delight on the guests faces when they dine. And of course, working with Aaron."
Farm Spirit reopened in January 2019 as a full-sized, 28-seat restaurant, expanded from the former 14-seat chef counter. Farm Spirit is open Wednesday to Saturday, with dining room seating starting at 5 p.m. and chef's counter seating at 7:00 p.m. Dinner service includes six or more courses, plus snacks and surprises for $89.

BkiUdyk4uBhjDigVQYLg | So you think you can ball? Well check out this 10 year old kid who is being called "the next Allen Iverson".
Oh, and just so you know, he's being called the next Allen Iverson by the YouTuber who uploaded the clip. In most cases, I wouldn't put too much stock in what YouTube people call their videos. Take Bro Council for example: we call our Roommates Web Series the best webseries ever, and clearly that title goes to the Arkansas Pig Lady. But in this case, the guy got it right - at least on the court. The kid has moves, let's just hope his house isn't being foreclosed. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUfRLxK7FjYAb_871E | The sixth Open World Forum edition, led by its 2013 chairman Pierre Queinnec, has just closed its doors… This year represented a big shift, with a brand new location: The Beffroi of Montrouge hosted during three days the "crème de la crème" of the Free Software and Open Source users and communities, of all ages and countries. Louis Montagne gives us his feedback on this latest edition.
Louis, a few words on this new location?
Why does af83 get so deeply involved in OWF, and more generally in Open Source?
As for previous editions, the program is divided up in several tracks: THINK for sessions on basics, key topics, business… CODE, for technical sessions and developers, with speakers coming this year again from all around the world to share their expertise and knowledge. And finally, EXPERIMENT dedicated to the general public.
What do you think of this year program?
"And let's not forget EXPERIMENT. Thanks to this track, the youngest were able to practice the noble art of hacking - or at least experience the first thrills that we hope will lead them to become hackers later, and participate to this Free Software creative, innovative, independent and strong culture, vital to our ecosystem smooth running!
EXPERIMENT also allowed everyone to test, "play", experiment, in a word use Open Source, whether software, hardware or art. Because using and experiencing with a "digital thingy" is what matters the most: this is what drives our innovations, drives our world, drives this shift we live daily and in which we are all players".
Thank you Louis for your opinion on OWF 2013… Let's all meet next year in the beginning of the autumn for a brand new session of the Open World Forum! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUcqzxK6mkyCfOBrf6 | Here is my 2nd Gibson Marauder. This guitar is in great shape. I believe it was refinished because I'm not sure how a guitar of this vintage can look this good.
I would rank this guitar at being in "Almost Mint" condition, with very little wear, and refinishing on the body makes it almost flawless.
These Marauders are some of the most underrated instruments Gibson has ever made. The tone and the feel are just the beginnings of what makes these guitars so special. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUgaHxK7IDBrtwSVzL | Whole Foods Market ranked No. 30 in the Fortune's 'Change the World' list
Company lauded for 'setting a standard for grocery stores' and for 'continually pushing for change'
AUSTIN, Texas, 2015-8-24— /EPR Retail News/ — In its new ranking of 50 companies that "Change the World," Fortune magazine recognizes Whole Foods Market for "doing well by doing good." The company ranks No. 30 on the list, which will appear in the magazine's Sept. 1 issue.
Fortune highlights Whole Foods Market's position at the forefront of food consciousness, noting the company's role in creating the market for natural, healthy food: "The Austin-based grocer prompted giants from Walmart to Kroger to up their organic game. Whole Foods continues to push for change through initiatives like its animal-welfare standards, its refusal to sell overfished seafood, and its requirement that all products it sells containing genetically modified ingredients be labeled as such by 2018." Fortune also quotes New York University food studies, nutrition, and public health professor Marion Nestle as saying the company "set a standard for grocery stores."
"It's incredibly rewarding to be included on Fortune's list because it represents the culmination of decades of passion and dedication our team members have invested in our mission," said co-CEO Walter Robb. "Collectively, we believe it is our responsibility to co-create a world where everyone can flourish, and that much of our success to date stems from having a bigger idea that draws in and inspires our team members to further shape and express that idea–or higher purpose- in large and small ways every day."
The company's motto, "Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet,"™ captures its mission to ensure customer satisfaction and health, team member excellence and happiness, enhanced shareholder value, community support and environmental improvement. Whole Foods Market constantly evolves its higher purpose by tapping into the company's heightened level of consciousness for the good of the business, society and the world as a whole.
"By focusing on our deeper purpose, we have inspired, engaged and energized all of our stakeholders to come together to awaken food consciousness while helping make the world a better place," said John Mackey, co-founder and co-CEO. "It is gratifying to be recognized for fulfilling our higher purpose—one that reaches far beyond simply being a food retailer."
Fortune's Sept. 1 "Change the World" issue also features an article entitled "John Mackey: a conscious capitalist." Mackey is a co-author of "Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business," a book that boldly defends the good of business and capitalism by presenting a way of thinking about the higher purpose of a business, its relationships with interconnected stakeholders and the impact it has on the world.
Whole Foods Market is No. 214 on the Fortune 500 list and has been on Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for 18 years. The company also ranked No. 18 on Fortune's "World's Most Admired Companies" list in 2015, and Mackey appears on its "World's Greatest Leaders" list this year as well.
Other accolades the company has received in 2015:
Greenpeace named Whole Foods Market the top retailer for seafood sustainability in the nonprofit's annual ranking of U.S. supermarkets. Whole Foods Market has topped the seafood sustainability list for three consecutive years.
Compassion in World Farming recognized Whole Foods Market with a Good Sow Commendation and Global Good Egg Award for the company's animal welfare efforts.
Reputation Institute ranked Whole Foods Market America's third most reputable company in the retail industry and the third-strongest retail brand in America.
The Better World Shopping Guide awarded Whole Foods Market an "A-" rating in its latest edition.

BkiUf6nxK1ThhAcYnG16 | Environmental: Every vegan saves an acre of trees each year and an average of 2,400 animals in a lifetime.
Humanitarian: Corn, grain, and oats would feed people instead of livestock (660,000 slaughtered for food every hour in the U.S. alone).
Health: Weight loss, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, elevated energy, less risk of cancer, blah, blah, blah.
Street cred: My seitan is cooler than your Satan.
While yours truly is a dedicated bacon and carne asada consumer, I've had plenty of amazing vegan meals with many a pink-o friend, and http://www.sandiegoreader.com/places/veg-n-out/">Veg-N-Out's menu definitely takes the raw-cocoa soy-milk free-trade stevia-egg-substitute organic cake.
So check it out: every first and third Wednesday is vegan happy hour at Veg-N-Out.
Chill out to roots reggae from Dash Eye (http://tribeofkings.wordpress.com/">Tribe of Kings Sound System) and take half-off all vegan burgers and sandwiches.
That means $3.75 for burgers such as the "30th street classic", the "rasta burger," and the "tree hugger burger," and $1.99 for sides including falafel, sweet potato chips, and organic Acai sorbet.
Fight the bovine holocaust, get irie, and try the tempura avocados.

BkiUbV45qsBB3JTH5FzK | Q: Java Bean validation doesn't work as expected with spring repository in my JPA Entity I am using embeddable object like this:
@Entity
@Data
public class Foo {
@Valid
@Embedded
private Bar bar;
}
And Bar class looks like this:
@Embeddable
@Data
public class Bar {
@NotBlank
@Size(min = 2, max = 5)
@Column
private String barValue;
}
When I tried save Foo entity which
*
*has bar == null, entity saved as I expected - OK
*has initialized bar, and barValue has not range 2-5, expected error - OK
*has initialized bar, but barValue is null, saved and no error - WRONG
If I am not wrong, @NotBlank should cover @NotNull as well. From javadoc of @NotBlank:
The annotated element must not be {@code null} and must contain at least one non-whitespace character. Accepts {@code CharSequence}.

BkiUd1Y5qoaAwj4XOnPZ | The good folks at MobileZap(AU version of MobileFun.co.uk) sent over a bluetooth keyboard case for my Nexus 7(2012) to review.
Currently this is the only hard cover aluminium - clip on - case for the Nexus 7 on the market (though is availble as a few different brands) thats similar to Logitechs offerings for the iPad.
Works perfect with the Nexus 7 (2012 version), all normal keys, media, and Android specific keys 'just work'. The Nexus 7 fits in perfectly in portrait and landscape mode and the case clips on and looks just like the Nexus 7.
The bluetooth pairing worked without a hitch and only took a few seconds. Battery life so far seems good, its rechargable via the same USB cable as the Nexus 7.
It's a very minimal design - unlike some of the chunky leather style keyboard cases, making it perfect for when a laptop is too big and a plain tablet to slow for writing.
I logged into a linux server via SSH and fired up Vim to see how it would work for coding and its definitely better for coding than any touch/virtual coding keyboards for Android. It's not as easy to type on as a full size keyboard but for the size it's as good as I expect. Only issue with using the keyboard in Vim or SSH is the lack of an Escape key, thankfully you can use Ctrl+[ to do the same as Esc in Vim.
The backing of this case is hard plastic rather than the soft material the nexus 7 uses. This is great for protecting the Nexus 7 when the case is clipped as a cover but when your using it to type on a hard surface it can slid around as you type. Though easily fixed with a small piece of anti-slip rubber glued on the back.
If you need a keyboard for your Nexus 7 for occasional typing - such as taking notes in class or lectures, or writing longer docs and emails this is a great budget keyboard case for the Nexus 7. It's not going to magically turn your Nexus 7 into a full laptop/desktop replacement but does a great job for when a tablet is more suitable. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUcQXxK7FjYCv2Q68O | Q: When i change the Display property of the "select", "button" and "input" elements to "inline", they still behaves like "line-block". Why? Those elements are supposed to be inline-block by default, but when i change their display property to "inline", they keep behaving like inline-block. Their width and height is still respected. I don't understand why? Same thing doesn't happen with a Div element.
<select name="random">
<option>some text</option>
<option>another text</option>
<option>more text</option>
</select>
CSS:
select {
display:inline;
width:300px;
height:200px;
}
And here's an example with Div to demonstrate that changing the display property to inline makes the element behave like an inline.
<div>some text</div>
CSS:
div {
background-color:blue;
display:inline;
width:500px;
height:500px;
}
A: Inspect the element and take a look at the Computed tab. You will see that your browser is overriding your declaration and still treating the select box as inline-block.
select {
display:inline;
width:300px;
height:200px;
}
<select name="random">
<option>some text</option>
<option>another text</option>
<option>more text</option>
</select>
If you want to use display:inline, you should add a wrapper and set it there instead:
.select-wrapper {
display:inline;
}
<div class="select-wrapper">
<select name="random">
<option>some text</option>
<option>another text</option>
<option>more text</option>
</select>

BkiUc8Q5qX_Bg0pzukTe | Tartaric acid extraction of organotin compounds from sediment samples
Colecciones Institucionales
Flores M.; Bravo M.; Pinochet H.; Maxwell P.; Mester Z.
Disponible vía
A new extraction method for the determination of tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT) in sediments based on extraction with tartaric acid and methanol has been developed. Tin species were extracted from sediment samples using focused microwave technology, then ethylated with sodium tetraethylborate (NaBEt4) and analyzed by isotope dilution (ID) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The advantages of such methodology in comparison with other established extraction methods for the routine speciation analysis of organotin compounds are discussed with respect to sulfur interferences co-extracted from complex matrices.Interferences from elemental sulfur are normally found with acetic acid extraction, but with tartaric acid extraction these interferences were eliminated, demonstrating selective extraction.The accuracy of the analytical procedure was established by analyzing a certified reference material (CRM) (PACS-2, marine sediment) and comparing the results to the certified values. Good agreement between determined and certified values for butyltin compounds was obtained. Finally, some complex sediment samples collected from San Vicente's Bay, Chile, were analyzed with the proposed methodology, demonstrating its potential value for monitoring butyltins in environmental samples with high concentrations of sulfur compounds. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. | commoncrawl | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUdDs5qWTA_aC0PzUE | Flight (1903) - On December 17, 1903, after thousands of years of watching birds soar through the air and dreaming of defying the pull of gravity, mankind finally left the confines of earth and achieved sustained controlled flight for the first time in history. Two Ohio natives, Orville and Wilbur Wright accomplished this in their aircraft, dubbed the Wright Flyer, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Today we fly aircraft around the world and even send ships into outer space; but that first flight lasted only twelve seconds and covered 120 feet (37 m). One of the keys to overcoming the challenge of flight is called wing-warping. Like most people fascinated by the concept of flight, the Wright Brothers began their research by studying birds in the air and noticed that their wings had an upward curve that enabled them to "capture" air and keep them aloft. This created an imbalance of pressure; less above and more below the wings, and allowed the birds to generate lift in order to overcome gravity which tends to keep us earthbound. Based on their observations (and work done by other aviation pioneers), the Wright Brothers started building gliders that could stay aloft for several minutes using the power of wind. Once they felt that they had the design right, they added an engine which turned propellers and allowed the "airplane" to fly under its own power. Thanks to the invention of the jet engine, airplanes can now fly well in excess of the speed of sound. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdTLxaKgT2CDEmO2g | Sarah Blackmore, Senior Director of People at Eventbase, the leading mobile event platform, spared us 15 minutes of her busy schedule to share her recruitment words of wisdom.
What does great recruitment look like? What is preventing us from doing it well? And what buzzword should we definitely stop using? Sarah gives us her take.
As the Senior Director of People for Eventbase, my role is all about finding the balance between what people need to do their best work and what businesses need to thrive.
It covers everything from developing policies and practices to nurturing an awesome working environment, to leading recruitment efforts and engaging employees.
What do you love most about working for Eventbase?
I love the people. I know everyone says that but the people I work with really are the reason I show up every day.
Our co-founders built an environment that has attracted some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of working with.
The culture is considerate, compassionate…and a little rogue! I believe a culture is organic and will always be the sum of its parts. It will always move, shift, and change with the people in the organization and it starts at the top and trickles down – it's essential for the leadership team at a company to really foster the kind of culture that employees want to be a part of.
And that's what the team at Eventbase has done, and continues to do.
How do you feel recruitment has changed in the last decade?
Technology has certainly enhanced recruitment in the past 10 years, but I don't think it has fundamentally changed it.
The recruitment process starts and ends with the candidate. At Eventbase, we have designed the process to provide an awesome experience for all potential hires and to optimize the time it takes to hire the highest quality candidates.
We take care of the things that matter to an applicant, including things like decline emails. We understand that looking for work can be a vulnerable situation and that people prefer to know they didn't make the cut rather than be left wondering.
What does successful hiring look like and what's your biggest barrier to success?
It looks easy! If a hiring process is working well, the process should feel easy and intuitive – and look different each time, depending on the role you're hiring for. It should also be easy to see what volume you have in your pipeline, allowing hiring managers to know that candidates are moving through. Finally, it should never leave a candidate guessing where they are in the process – a transparent experience is key.
Recruitment of qualified tech professionals is a big challenge for us and many of our peers within the industry. The job market is tough and is dominated by the giants, who drive up salaries. It can be challenging for smaller companies and start-ups to compete.
That said, we do offer a nimble environment that allows for significant personal and professional growth – opportunities that an employee may not necessarily have at one of the big tech-focused organizations.
What's your team's #1 priority for the next 6 months and greatest achievement from the last 6?
Our priority for the six months ahead is compensation.
Employees feel valued when they're fairly compensated, and when they feel valued, they're more committed to the company and to producing outstanding results. Compensation doesn't always have to mean money though – it's the entire package, including time off and perks.
The past six months at Eventbase have been busy, and we've achieved a lot in a short time, including implementing a performance management program, coaching and leadership training opportunities, and new recruitment and internal communications processes.
I'm really proud of how well these changes have been received by the organization and look forward to witnessing further, the positive impact they'll have.
HR tech is on the minds of many within the industry and for good reason – it's helping to automate some of the more administrative components of HR, the ones that take up so much time and deter from more important job functions.
What do you feel the HR industry currently lacks?
Funnily enough, I think the HR industry seems to lack empathy. While we use the word "human" in our industry, it's tied to "resources" – which is exactly what humans within a company should not be referred to.
Instead, we should be focusing on human beings, and on supporting them, whether it be through the recruitment process or as they pursue a career with the company. We must constantly remind ourselves of the very things that make our workplace experiences positive and demonstrate that behaviour.
I also believe that, as HR professionals, we often focus so much on the growth of employees that we neglect our own. It's important though, to always feel like you're moving forward in a role and in the industry, and to invest in your own personal development.
My tips for doing this, include having conversations with everyone (you never know what you'll learn), asking questions (try to learn the business inside and out), and finding a mentor (some of the best learnings come from a committed mentor).
Synergy – at this point, the term has lost all meaning and comes across as a filler. Please stop using it!
She is a future of work evangelist and believes that "HR" isn't a dirty word - it is actually best job in the world) She also believes that real people need to hear real things and that being part of someone else's journey to greatness is an honour. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUc7k5qhDACjc-RgUM | ELECTRIFY to Advance Asia's Blockchain Development
April 12, 2018 April 12, 2018 Daniel
ELECTRIFY, Singapore's first retail electricity marketplace, has announced partnerships with Tokyo-based NEUTRINO, Japan's first blockchain focused co-working space and the Ethereum Community Fund (ECF) a US100m global funding initiative to support blockchain-based projects, reaffirming its commitment to advance Asia's blockchain development.
ELECTRIFY will be a founding sponsor of NEUTRINO, a co-working space initiative developed jointly by OmiseGo and Global Brain Corporation. Slated for launch later in 2018, NEUTRINO aims to address the lack of qualified blockchain talent that is inhibiting growth potential. The 290sqm space in Tokyo is expected to form the basis for an information exchange hub, envisioned to build a sustainable pipeline of talent and catalyze blockchain development in Asia and beyond. NEUTRINO will also serve as ground zero for ELECTRIFY's imminent expansion plans into Japan, whose energy market has seen intense competition since its deregulation in April 2016.
ELECTRIFY has also announced that it will be a Founding Contributor of the recently launched Ethereum Community Fund (ECF), joining the ranks of industry heavyweights such as OmiseGo, Golem, Cosmos, Raiden Global Brain and Maker to spur greater coordination between Ethereum projects. By lending support to projects and companies looking to adopt blockchain technologies, the ECF seeks to create a high-growth environment where teams and ideas can be nurtured into essential pieces of the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
Launches Tokyo-based NEUTRINO, Japan's first blockchain focused co-working space along with OmiseGo and Global Brain Corporation; marks ELECTRIFY's business expansion into Japan
Sets up Ethereum Community Fund (ECF) along with OmiseGo, Golem, Cosmos, Raiden Global Brain and Maker; ECF is a US$100m global funding initiative to support blockchain-based projects
'A fundamental desire to create bonds between communities and delivering value to the same is deeply ingrained in ELECTRIFY's corporate DNA, providing the impetus that drives the company,' said Julius Tan, CEO and Co-Founder at ELECTRIFY. "We're honored to play a central role in NEUTRINO and the ECF, and for the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the blockchain community. This represents another step for ELECTRIFY in driving the continued development of blockchain, and we look forward to making the technology accessible to millions of people around the world."
The announcements for NEUTRINO and the ECF comes alongside ELECTRIFY's recently inked partnership with Streamr, the world's first fully functioning decentralized marketplace for the real-time data. The move grants users of ELECTRIFY's proprietary PowerPod – a system that accurately tracks and audits energy production – the opportunity to monetise their data, giving them greater ownership of the data generated on their PowerPod devices.
March 2018 also saw the unveiling of Jeffrey Char, CEO of J-Seed Ventures, Inc and Director of Corporate Venture Capital at Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), as the newest addition to ELECTRIFY's portfolio of advisors. Char also heads TEPCO's blockchain initiatives, signifying ELECTRIFY's deepening involvement into the Japanese energy sector.

BkiUahHxK0zjCxN_qvLL | Q: How do I merge xml files into one using PHP? So Im having a bit of trouble understanding how to merge three xml files into one xml file using PHP.
Ive made a start but Im having difficulty, first off here is my xsl which separates a xml into 3 groups by country with the file names as "CD1_USA.xml", CD2_UK UK UK.xml" and "CD2_AU AU.xml":
XSL
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" name="cd-format"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each-group select="/CATALOG//CD" group-by="COUNTRY">
<xsl:result-document href="CD{position()}_{current-group()/COUNTRY}.xml" format="cd-format">
<CD_LIST country="{current-group()/COUNTRY}">
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
</CD_LIST>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Now using PHP I need to merge these 3 xml into one file named "mergeFile.xml"
So Ive started to make an attempt but Im a bit lost from here because the mergeFile must have the prolog
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Some guidance is appreciated from this point
PHP
<?php
// Read file 1
$xmlfilecontent = file_get_contents('CD1_USA.xml');
// Concat file 2
$xmlfilecontent .= file_get_contents('CD2_UK UK UK.xml');
//Concat file 3
$xmlfilecontent .= file_get_contents('CD2_AU AU.xml');
A: You should store data into Array.
<?php
$xmlfilecontent = array();
// Read and Insert file 1 into array
$xmlfilecontent[] = file_get_contents('CD1_USA.xml');
// Read and Insert file 2 into array
$xmlfilecontent[] = file_get_contents('CD2_UK UK UK.xml');
// Read and Insert file 3 into array
$xmlfilecontent[] = file_get_contents('CD2_AU AU.xml');
print_r($xmlfilecontent);
?>

BkiUfHTxaKgQUJVNiJ9Z | Q: How to pass value from Angular unit test into dynamic HTML tag I'd like to pass "test" value within my unit test to nodeName and nodeDisplayName in this dynamic HTML tag in order to display this checkbox.
my unit test:
it('checkbox is appearing', () => {
const nodes= [{
nodeDisplayName: "test",
nodeName: "test"
}];
// pass value to HTML code
const checkbox= fixture.debugElement.query((de) => {
return de.nativeElement.id === 'test';
});
expect(checkbox).not.toBeNull();
});
my HTML tag:
<div *ngFor="let node of nodes let i = index" class="multipleNodes">
<label class="nodebtn bold" [id]=node.nodeName ngbTooltip="{{node.nodeDisplayName}}" tooltipClass="nodeTooltip">
<input type="checkbox" attr.for="{{node}}" value="{{i}}" name="{{i}}" (change)="checkboxChange($event)">
{{node.nodeName}}
</label>
</div>
expect HTML output (inspect):
<div class="multipleNodes">
<label class="nodebtn bold active" tooltipClass="nodeTooltip" ng-reflect-tooltip-class="nodeTooltip" ng-reflect-ngb-tooltip="test" id="test">
<input type="checkbox" for="[object Object]" value=0 name=0 >
" test "
</label>
</div>
The n.name and n.displayName are actually from the previous page by clicking the particular element then send to this page, but I want to test only 'test' element.
the relevant piece of code in my .ts file:
@Input() data;
ngOnInit() {
if (this.data.process === 'click') {
this.setLinear = true;
this.nodes = this.data.nodes.map((n) => {
return {
nodeName: n.name,
nodeDisplayName: n.displayName,
};
});
}
A: You can either mock your import (which I would personally prefer) or update the component property after the onInit is finished.
It is important to understand, that ngOnInit() gets triggered during the first fixture.detectChanges() call in your describe block.
If you are using the first approach in mocking the import, you need to make sure this is done before calling fixture.detectChanges. Usually when a test is generated by the cli there is a fixture.detectChanges inside the beforeEach cycle. That one would need to be removed and in every it you would need to call that explicitly whenever the setup is finished.
Input mock:
it('checkbox is appearing', () => {
const nodes = [{
nodeDisplayName: "test",
nodeName: "test"
}]
component.nodes = nodes; //in case nodes is public
(component as any).nodes = nodes //in case nodes is private
fixture.detectChanges();
const checkbox= fixture.debugElement.query((de) => {
return de.nativeElement.id === 'test';
});
expect(checkbox).not.toBeNull();
});
Changes after onInit already finished (imho not the best way):
it('checkbox is appearing', () => {
fixture.detectChanges();
const data = {
process: 'click',
nodes: [{
nodeDisplayName: "test",
nodeName: "test"
}]
}
component.data = data;
fixture.detectChanges();
const checkbox= fixture.debugElement.query((de) => {
return de.nativeElement.id === 'test';
});
expect(checkbox).not.toBeNull();
});

Vale Errol Mutch
By David Holmgren on October 16, 2013 in News
Errol Mutch explaining the worm composting system at Edendale Farm August 2003.
I never knew Errol very well but from my first meeting in the early 1990s when he was the manager at Edendale City Farm in Eltham. I was impressed by the man, and what he and Cheryl had done to transform Edendale from an derelict animal pound to a great example of progressive environmental education. From that first time I was shown around the farm (as a consultant to the shire council) to hearing him sprouk to groups of school children or the public at field days, I recognised Errol as having that rare combination of decades of farming experience with a passion for biodynamics and permaculture that I was more used to seeing in young environmentalists from urban backgrounds.
The development of Edendale as a public environmental education facility was of course shaped by all the usual factors of funding priorities, politics, bureaucracy and fashions but it also showed the care and attention of Errol and Cheryl's stewardship that we usually associate with a well loved and cared-for private property. The animal systems in particular were exemplary in not only their good management but also in the significant contribution to maintenance of working strains of heritage rare breeds.
It was a tragedy of the times that this work was never recognised for its significant contribution to biodiversity conservation as defined by the UN Convention on Biodiversity. More than lack of recognition the progressive common sense environmentalism that Errol has demonstrated was undermined and dismantled by bureaucrats reflecting the "nativist" version of biodiversity that was so strong at Nillumbik shire council at the time.
To quote from a letter of support that I wrote in November 2004,
…..the best examples of the pragmatic and productive approach to sustainable land use, such as Edendale are subject to constant erosion by a nativist orthodoxy which dominates all levels of policy making and environmental education (not only at Nillumbik) It seems ironic that the "state of the art" cost effective land and water management at Edendale with multiple environmental and social value outcomes is to be downgraded while much more expensive indigenous revegetation programs with questionable and unproven water quality and other environmental benefits are retained and reinforced. The proposed removal of pigs from Edendale and downgrading of the poultry breeding systems without reference to independent evaluation by those with expertise in city farms is analogous to planting oak or pine trees in the shire's best wildflower reserve without consulting experts in remnant indigenous biodiversity management.
Edendale is one of the last places in Australia where a functional strain of the Australorp poultry breed is being maintained. This is an Australian contribution to domesticated animal biodiversity and incidentally most of the original breeding and maintenance of the Australorp was in Nillumbik (at Research). Under the UN Convention on Biodiversity this flock constitute "threatened in-situ domesticated biodiversity". Therefore Australian governments have a legally binding responsibility to conserve this flock. While these responsibilities are not well known (your environmental staff may not be aware of this) it is an opportunity for Nillumbik to apply for funding to support the excellent biodiversity conservation work at Edendale.
I remember Errol as one of those rare "salt of the earth" natural environmentalists, who charted his own path in working with nature though the difficult decades when such ideas were rare and ignored, to then find a collegiate network of like minded people through the biodynamic, organic and permaculture networks, and finally to become a wise elder inspiring children and adults to find their own path in working with nature.
(Errol passed away peacefully Oct. 9, 2013 Aged 71 years.)

Precious little girl sings 'You Are My Sunshine' to beloved cat as he passes
Josephine 10/11/2021
Erin Merryn and her family were the proud owners of an orange tabby cat named Bailey. They loved him with all their hearts and included him in a slew of adorable activities, which they photographed and filmed. However, there's one video in particular of Bailey that has the internet needing tissues.
Merryn was in college when she purchased the tiny feline. In fact, she even had to sneak Bailey into her dorm room.
She told that she felt she'd "won the lottery with him." During her interview, the mom, author, and speaker also shared:
"I have always said if everyone had a Bailey there would be a lot less people in this world lonely or depressed. I always told people there was a little human inside Bailey."
Bailey was around when Merryn brought home her first precious daughter, Abby.
Although she wasn't quite sure how the cat would respond to having a newborn in the house – Bailey instantly fell in love with Abby. Merryn explained to Love Meow that he'd stay by the baby's side and give her snuggles, purrs, and affection. He also was like a "protective brother" along the way.
Bailey loved Abby and she was smitten with him too.
She'd sing to the cat and read him stories, and interestingly enough, the feline would sit through every moment of it. Even when the family welcomed another daughter, Hannah, Bailey had the same love and patience as he did with Abby.
Bailey ended up earning himself the title of being "No Ordinary Cat" for his "uncatlike" behaviors.
Merryn told PEOPLE that he would allow her daughters to dress him up, bathe him, push him like a baby in a stroller, and he'd even sit in a high chair wearing a bib. Bailey would attend their picnics, play school, and accompany them at their lemonade stands.
"He just loved these girls and let them do whatever they wanted to him. It was incredible."
The girls' special bond with Bailey was captured through videos and photos, which Merryn shared on social media.
A video of four-year-old Abby sweetly singing "You Are My Sunshine" to Bailey caught everyone's attention – including news sources and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Because of the video, Bailey gained many new fans and social media followers. Sadly though, it was only a few months later that the feline reached a point where his life was coming to an end.
14-year-old Bailey was experiencing kidney failure and Merryn knew his time was near. Abby sat and sang her cat "You Are My Sunshine" once again – but it was the very last time. Sweet and gentle Bailey passed away only three hours after the video was recorded.
Bailey is no longer with us, but his legacy still lives on.
The family continues to run their "Bailey No Ordinary Cat" social media pages, which are full of the most heartwarming memories. In addition, Erin Merryn released a book of the same title! Needless to say, the late feline is still a star and loved by people across the globe.
Watch the tear-jerking video below to see Abby sing "You Are My Sunshine" to Bailey for the very last time. May he rest in peace and his beautiful spirit continue to soar!

BkiUbnE4dbjiU9i0yv3R | People ask me how Hitler came to power; they can't seem to grasp the fact that he was elected by a wide majority of Germans. They cannot fathom a nation that produced Niechze, Freud, Einstein and Mozart could fall into the grasp of such evil willingly.
They didn't. Hitler was the head of the National Socialist German Worker's Party (Nazi), a party who promised a socialist worker's paradise with jobs, schools, homes and healthcare for all. Hitler's first three years were spent fulfilling this promise with all kinds of civic projects. They had dual purposes, the Autobahn was designed to move troops and tanks quickly across Germany and German industry added workers because the Third Reich mandated that a percentage of their production be devoted to the re-arming of Germany. People had jobs and people were happy. So happy that Austrians and Czechoslovakia begged to be annexed by the Third Reich. In much way, Hitler's Germany was indistinguishable from Roosevelt's America. Then came "The Night of the Long Knives", where Hitler's S.S. murdered the entire socialist element of the Third Reich, known as the S.A. or the "Brown Shirts". The S.A. had become more and more critical of Hitler's massing of personal power, calling it a betrayal of the socialist promises he'd made. In hindsight they should have seen it coming.
I've been watching a strange evolution of the onetime-Left since 9/11/2001 that I've finally figured out. They've embraced fascism, yet they aren't aware of this fact. Like the well meaning Germans who lined up and gave a heartfelt "Siek Heil" to their Fuhrer, today's "Left Wing" has become a Pinochet- Maoist style ultra-rightwing fascist movement. They're most visible in the anti-war movement, where they embrace mass murderers like Saddam Hussein, Che' Guevara, and wave anti-Semitic banners and signs.
These are supposedly Liberals, yet no other liberals call them on their transgressions, very few anyway.
Then I looked to the main source of fascism in America, Colleges and Universities.
It's been forty years since the "Free Speech" movement and "Sit Ins" of the early 1960s; where students discussed Vietnam and Racial Equality. Today, those "Revolutionaries" would be thrown off campus, not by the administration but by their fellow students in student government. University is no longer a place to open your mind and explore possibility; today it's a place of Fascist indoctrination. Students are pounded into the new conformity by being told that there are words you cannot say, deeds you cannot do, political ideas that cannot be entertained and thoughts that they cannot even have. They are taught history with only half of the facts (if that many), they are taught that science is relative and that belief is more important than fact. Dissent against the government is good but dissent against the dissenters is forbidden. Those who dare to raise an opposing viewpoint on most college campuses are expelled. They are branded with a host of Fascist-Politically Correct labels like Racist, Homophobe and - ironically – Nazi. Gone are they days of the post 1960s freedom and experimentation. I don't know exactly when it happened but the "Leftist" campus movement quietly slipped to the hard-right and nobody seems to have noticed. Even the average student who just wants to just get a degree and move onto a fruitful life is damaged and permanently handicapped by this Fascist atmosphere.
How? They learn to live with Fascism.
They become comfortable in a Fascist state, they are trained not to resist Fascist ideas and that it's better for them to go along with whatever insanity is imposed upon them. They become comfortable with being trained like dogs, to sit, to stay and to speak at their master's beckon call. They are trained NOT to question certain ideas while ridiculing other ideas with equal lack of insight.
It can't be good. Hitler would be very impressed. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

BkiUd7vxK7IDOjusEaVp | 'Selfish' bacteria link IBD and gut microbiota changes
IBD affects 1 in every 250 people in the UK, but its causes are unknown. Studies have shown that IBD patients have a different profile of gut microbes, which is called dysbiosis.
All of us have trillions of beneficial bacteria in our gut, but the combination of different species, known as the microbiome, varies. A crucial question has been whether IBD causes our microbiome to change, or whether an imbalanced microbiome could be triggering IBD. And exactly how does one affect the other? We need to study these interactions to define new targets for therapeutics.
Nathalie Juge and colleagues at the Institute of Food Research (IFR) have been trying to answer these questions by looking at the environment in which gut bacteria grow mucus. IFR is strategically supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
Mucus covers the lining of our gut and provides an ideal environment for gut bacteria to grow by providing them with a rich source of sugars. However not all bacteria can consume mucus, and it's been shown recently that IBD patients had a higher proportion of specific mucus-degrading bacteria called Ruminococcus gnavus, common gut bacteria found in most individuals.
Mucus is made up of long molecules, called mucins, which consist of protein chains, decorated with sugars, and usually capped with sialic acid, a sugar residue widely distributed in animal tissues. To use mucins, bacteria first have to remove the sialic acid. Once this is done, the sialic acid becomes available as a nutrient source for the whole of the bacterial community in the mucosal environment.
This means mucin-degrading bacteria have an important role in the whole bacterial community, so the researchers set out to work out what makes them effective.
Previously, the researchers found that R. gnavus's ability to degrade mucins depended on the type of strain they were working with. So they then compared the genome sequences of these strains to identify which genes were behind the mucus-degrading abilities.
In a follow-up study, published in the journal Nature Communications, they found a surprising result. The cleavage enzyme allowing R. gnavus strains to grow on mucins, instead of releasing free sialic acid, chemically modifies it upon cleavage, providing these bacteria with a preferential source of nutrient.
This suggests a "selfish" behaviour where instead of sharing free sialic acid with other bacteria, R. gnavus mucin-degrader strains can use the modified sialic acid themselves.
This unusual activity hadn't been seen in any other gut bacteria before. But having identified the enzyme, a bioinformatics screen found it in 11% of other bacteria. And the enzyme is also enriched in IBD patients, which agrees with previous studies showing an increased proportion of R. gnavus in IBD patients.
"We think that this enzyme may help the bacteria to adapt to changes occurring in IBD patients' mucosal environment and give these bacteria a competitive nutritional advantage over others" said Dr Juge.
The researchers now need to determine the impact of these findings in a complex microbial community, but this study points the way beyond correlations between IBD and changes in the microbiota. Whilst it will be a while before this information could be used to develop new therapies, it could be developed into a better biomarker for IBD.
Reference: "Discovery of intramolecular trans-sialidases in human gut microbiota suggests novel mechanisms of mucosal adaptation" will be published in the journal Nature Communications at 10am BST UK time on Wednesday 8 July 2015 doi: 10.1038/ncomms7624.

BkiUdjM4uzlhd7q_4Yr- | Surveys recent antitrust law cases in the Fifth Circuit, especially those cases concerning standing requirements under the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act. The increased use of per se rules by the courts and the resulting lack of substantive defenses has caused an increase in the number of cases in which the antitrust defendant challenges the plaintiff's standing. The Fifth Circuit reflects this trend, as standing was the most frequently litigated issue during the survey period. Questions of exemption from the antitrust laws were also before the court in several cases for perhaps the same reason. The Fifth Circuit also confronted a case involving a fast food franchise and a tying arrangement, another popular source of antitrust litigation in recent years. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |
