BkiUdb7xK3YB9ohkMznL | The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is a tabletop fantasy game in which the players take on the roles of heroes who form a group (or party) to set out on dangerous adventures. Helping them tell this story is the Game Master (or GM), who decides what threats the player characters (or PCs) face and what sorts of rewards they earn for succeeding at their quest. Think of it as a cooperative storytelling game, where the players play the protagonists and the Game Master acts as the narrator, controlling the rest of the world.
If you are a player, you make all of the decisions for your character, from what abilities your character has to the type of weapon he carries. Playing a character, however, is more than just following the rules in this book. You also decide your character's personality. Is he a noble knight, set on vanquishing a powerful evil, or is he a conniving rogue who cares more about gold than glory? The choice is up to you.
If you are a Game Master, you control the world that the players explore. Your job is to bring the setting to life and to present the characters with challenges that are both fair and exciting. From the local merchant prince to the rampaging dragon, you control all of the characters that are not being played by the players. Paizo's Pathfinder Adventure Path series, Pathfinder Modules, and Pathfinder Chronicles world guides provide everything you need to run a game, or you can invent your own, using the rules in this book as well as the monsters found in the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary.
What You Need: In addition to this book, you will need a number of special dice to play the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The dice that come with most board games have six sides, but the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game uses dice with four sides, six sides, eight sides, ten sides, twelve sides, and twenty sides. Dice of this sort can be found at your local game store or online at paizo.com.
In addition to dice, if you are a player, you will need a character sheet (which can be photocopied from the back of this book) and, if the Game Master uses a map to represent the adventure, a small figurine to represent your character. These figurines, or miniatures, can also be found at most game stores. They come in a wide variety of styles, so you can probably find a miniature that relatively accurately depicts your character.
If you are the Game Master, you will need a copy of the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary, which contains the rules for a whole spectrum of monsters, from the mighty dragon to the lowly goblin. While many of these monsters can be used to fight against the players, others might provide useful information or become powerful allies. Some might even join the group, with one of the players taking on the role of a monstrous character. In addition, you should have your own set of dice and some sort of screen you can use to hide your notes, maps, and dice rolls behind. (Although you should be honest about the results of your dice rolls, sometimes the results are not evident, and openly rolling the dice might give away too much information.) Combat in the Pathfinder RPG can be resolved in one of two ways: you can describe the situation to the characters and allow them to interact based on the description you provide, or you can draw the situation on a piece of paper or a specially made battle mat and allow the characters to move their miniatures around to more accurately represent their position during the battle. While both ways have their advantages, if you choose the latter, you will need a mat to draw on, such as Paizo's line of GameMastery Flip-Mats, as well as miniatures to represent the monsters or other adversaries. These can also be found at your local game shop, or at paizo.com.
Playing the Game: While playing the Pathfinder RPG, the Game Master describes the events that occur in the game world, and the players take turns describing what their characters do in response to those events. Unlike storytelling, however, the actions of the players and the characters controlled by the Game Master (frequently called non-player characters, or NPCs) are not certain. Most actions require dice rolls to determine success, with some tasks being more difficult than others. Each character is better at some things than he is at other things, granting him bonuses based on his skills and abilities.
Whenever a roll is required, the roll is noted as "d#," with the "#" representing the number of sides on the die. If you need to roll multiple dice of the same type, there will be a number before the "d." For example, if you are required to roll 4d6, you should roll four six-sided dice and add the results together. Sometimes there will be a + or – after the notation, meaning that you add that number to, or subtract it from, the total results of the dice (not to each individual die rolled). Most die rolls in the game use a d20 with a number of modifiers based on the character's skills, his or her abilities, and the situation. Generally speaking, rolling high is better than rolling low. Percentile rolls are a special case, indicated as rolling d%. You can generate a random number in this range by rolling two differently colored ten-sided dice (2d10). Pick one color to represent the tens digit, then roll both dice. If the die chosen to be the tens digit rolls a "4" and the other d10 rolls a "2," then you've generated a 42. A zero on the tens digit die indicates a result from 1 to 9, or 100 if both dice result in a zero. Some d10s are printed with "10," "20," "30," and so on in order to make reading d% rolls easier. Unless otherwise noted, whenever you must round a number, always round down.
As your character goes on adventures, he earns gold, magic items, and experience points. Gold can be used to purchase better equipment, while magic items possess powerful abilities that enhance your character. Experience points are awarded for overcoming challenges and completing major storylines. When your character has earned enough experience points, he increases his character level by one, granting him new powers and abilities that allow him to take on even greater challenges. While a 1st-level character might be up to saving a farmer's daughter from rampaging goblins, defeating a terrifying red dragon might require the powers of a 20th-level hero. It is the Game Master's duty to provide challenges for your character that are engaging, but not so deadly as to leave you with no hope of success. For more information on the duties of being a Game Master, see Chapter 12.
Above all, have fun. Playing the Pathfinder RPG is supposed to be exciting and rewarding for both the Game Master and the players. Adventure awaits!
The rules in this book are here to help you breathe life into your characters and the world they explore. While they are designed to make your game easy and exciting, you might find that some of them do not suit the style of play that your gaming group enjoys. Remember that these rules are yours. You can change them to fit your needs. Most Game Masters have a number of "house rules" that they use in their games. The Game Master and players should always discuss any rules changes to make sure that everyone understands how the game will be played. Although the Game Master is the final arbiter of the rules, the Pathfinder RPG is a shared experience, and all of the players should contribute their thoughts when the rules are in doubt. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Science students utilize critical thinking, too
October 14, 2011 12:00am | By By Aliyah Weinstein
The article "Language degrees help students' professional prospects" from Wednesday's issue raised many good points about the benefits of studying a foreign language. But the contention that majors in the liberal arts require critical-thinking skills while science majors do not was a largely inappropriate comparison of the two fields.
Introductory-level biology courses, like introductory courses in any discipline, teach the fundamentals required to build a foundation in the subject. Memorization of "already accepted concepts" in a field is a necessary action for students to take before being able to critically evaluate something. An English major, for example, must study the time period that the work comes from, accepted literary forms, vocabulary and information about the author before he can successfully critique a piece of literature. Similarly, once a biology major understands basics such as cell division, genetics and protein synthesis, he can go to the scientific literature and begin to evaluate the methods used and conclusions drawn from published research.
Critical thinking is as essential to a scientific course of study as it is to a liberal arts one. Once undergraduates get past the introductory science courses, they enter advanced courses that challenge them to question accepted scientific ideas and new conclusions drawn by researchers. Science is anything but linear. It is only through critical evaluation of previous work that the field moves forward, and each question asked opens the door for a plethora of new research projects to be undertaken. Memorization of basic information is merely a stepping stone that provides the building blocks for future work in the field.
In addition to learning about science in the classroom, many science majors at the University work in research labs, where critical-thinking skills are, if anything, more important than in the classroom. In the midst of running an experiment, one must continually ask questions about the work being done: Why am I doing this? Can my methods be changed so this experiment works better? What do these results tell me? There is very rarely an experiment that works correctly the first time, and it is only by critically evaluating what was done that a researcher can predict what needs to be changed or done next.
While yes, it can be argued that the sciences require more memorization of basic concepts than the liberal arts do before reaching the level of being able to critically evaluate a piece of work, it cannot be said that critical thinking is absent from the study of science. It does take time to reach the point at which it is possible to critically think about the sciences, but the skill is a hugely important part of what it means to be a scientist. If a science major does not find himself using critical-thinking skills in class or in research, something is sorely wrong.

BkiUdH45qYVBWth0LLg7 | 1. Try not to complete the transactions with declined authorization requests. On the off chance that a customer hands you a credit card that has been declined, request for another method of payment, such as a check, cash or debit card.
5. Communication is important. Please respond to the cancellations quickly, notify the customers of the delivery delays, and make sure your customers can speak with you or your staff if they face any problem. Do not make them wait for your feedbacks or replies. It will give them troubles. Many chargebacks occur due to the acceptance of stolen credit cards, for which businesses are fully accountable.
6. A sign is an agreement. One of the most important things to protect your business is to require customers to sign a contract that justifies the specific services your company will provide. You have to give them a lot of options –customers can return the signed contract via fax or email, or sign it electronically online or with a fingerprint via a smartphone application. The key is to get the customer's authorization in writing. In case if anything happens, you can always refer to the contract.
7. Last but not least, keep accurate records of customers' credit card transaction dates, amounts and authorization information, in case you need them to fight a chargeback. If you have signed the documentation such as receipts or contracts, that would also help. There's not much you can do if you have been the victim of a fraudulent purchase, but this can help you win against the customer who is unfairly trying to take advantage of the chargeback system or who may have simply forgotten about the purchase.
In a nutshell, be careful and think smart! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

KOIN telethon benefits Portland Rescue Mission
Call 866.218.6162 to make a pledge
by: Kohr Harlan, KOIN 6 News Staff
Posted: Oct 9, 2019 / 10:48 AM PDT / Updated: Oct 11, 2019 / 05:43 AM PDT
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Cold weather is upon us and the holidays are just around the corner but for thousands of people facing life on the street, it's a season of despair.
That's why KOIN partnered with the Portland Rescue Mission to host a telethon on October 10 to help people in need.
Throughout the course of the Portland Rescue Mission telethon on KOIN, nearly 3000 nights of shelter were added along with more than 17,000 meals.
Phone lines will be open through the weekend and a half-hour Portland Rescue Mission Telethon special will air at 10:30 p.m. October 12 on KOIN 6.
Donate to the Portland Rescue Mission
For hundreds of people, the road to recovery starts with a warm meal at the Portland Rescue Mission.
"They're going to get eye contact, they're going to be welcomed and they'll be surrounded by a community of people who care about them," Mike Decken on the Portland Rescue Mission said.
At the West Burnside shelter, many of the people getting help are women and children — many of whom are re-directed to the safe residential space. More than 80% of women who graduate from the program are sober and productive three years later.
The Portland Rescue Mission says that all starts with a warm meal and a safe place to stay.
The mission serves 330,000 meals a year and provides shelter for 300 men, women and children a night.
A gift of $12 a month can provide shelter, meals, showers, clothes and other care for someone.

The character development program at Gateway Karate has been the most beneficial aspect for our child! He has shown such improvement with his grades, attitude, manners and coordination. The instructors are polite and good to the children. My son would never want to go anywhere else.
Gateway Karate has made a positive impact on me because I'm more active; I'm healthier, and more determined. The instructors have helped and encourage me during my training. I also tend to look at things more positively now. The most beneficial portion of my Gateway Karate training is the self-defense. Before training, I would have had no idea how to defend myself if necessary. I wasn't sure what to do and what targets of the body were the weakest. After my training began, I learned many techniques on how to defend myself. This year in PE, I ran the entire mile and finished third in my class. I came close behind a track runner. The healthy zone range was 9 - 11 minutes and I finished fours seconds before that. That my not seem like much, but I shaved off another two minutes from last year's final score. The instructors at Gateway Karate have encouraged me every step of the way.

Cooking by the Book in New England
A lively introduction to New England cooks, cookbooks, and recipes
Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald
If you think traditional New England cooking is little more than baked beans and clam chowder, think again. In this enticing anthology of almost 400 historic New England recipes from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century, you will be treated to such dishes as wine-soaked bass served with oysters and cranberries, roast shoulder of lamb seasoned with sweet herbs, almond cheesecake infused with rosewater, robust Connecticut brown bread, zesty ginger nuts, and high-peaked White Mountain cake.
Beginning with four chapters placing the region's best-known cookbook authors and their works in nuanced historical context, Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald then proceed to offer a ten-chapter cornucopia of culinary temptation. Readers can sample regional offerings grouped into the categories of the liquid one-pot meal, fish, fowl, meat and game, pie, pudding, bread, and cake. Recipes are presented in their original textual forms and are accompanied by commentaries designed to make them more accessible to the modern reader. Each chapter, and each section within each chapter, is also prefaced by a brief introductory essay. From pottage to pie crust, from caudle to calf's head, historic methods and obscure meanings are thoroughly—sometimes humorously—explained.
Going beyond reprints of single cookbooks and bland adaptations of historic recipes, this richly contextualized critical anthology puts the New England cooking tradition on display in all its unexpected--and delicious--complexity. Northern Hospitality will equip readers with all the tools they need for both historical understanding and kitchen adventure.
"This is an elegantly written, well conceived, and compelling work . . . a delight to read."—Robert S. Cox, author of Body and Soul: A Sympathetic History of American Spiritualism
"In this unexpected gem in the ocean of works on food, librarians Stavely and Fitzgerald have crafted a 'richly contextualized critical anthology' of New England's food heritage. The first section is a short social history of food in America, which provides helpful context for the historical recipes. The heart of the book is the recipes, from the original cookbooks ranging from the 17th to the early 20th centuries, complete with original wording, spelling, and grammar and 'commentaries to aid in historical understanding.' Reading the original cook's recipe and the authors' explanation of it adds much to readers' understanding and appreciation of the topic. The authors also do an excellent job at portraying the depth and variety of New England food history, which is much richer than one would expect. With a few illustrations and a handy index, the work is well documented with endnotes and a lengthy bibliography. Verdict: Well done and highly recommended for foodies and historians."—Library Journal
"Northern Hospitality is a big book . . . filled with information and recipes that will enlighten and enthrall anyone interested in food, cooking, or social history."—ForeWord
"Stavely and Fitzgerald have provided a lively, well-researched follow up to their classic tome on New England cuisine, America's Founding Food. . . . A must have for New England public and academic libraries and large libraries with substantial American history and culinary collections. . . . Highly recommended."—Choice
"Our favorite book of the year may be Northern Hospitality: Cooking by the Book in New England. In it Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald address 'the complex, colorful, sometimes controversial story of New England cooking' through an unorthodox approach. Northern Hospitality profiles most of the more influential Yankee cookbook authors from the first three centuries of European settlement, then the remaining two thirds of the book reproduces their recipes with trenchant and often amused commentary. Our brief description here cannot convey the startling clarity of the prose. If you give away only one book this year, make it this one and hope that somebody returns the favor."—British Food in America
"In this innovative study, part recipe anthology and part analytical investigation, Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald attempt to unravel the process by which New England domestic cooks developed a distinctive and varied cuisine out of the initial encounter between cookery books brought from the old country and the ingredients found on the North Eastern coast of America."—The London Times Literary Supplement
"This book serves up a fascinating main course in pre- and post-colonial history with an equally intriguing side dish of archaic recipes, and modern day adaptations with step-by-step instructions."—Cambridge Cooks
"Northern Hospitality: Cooking by the Book in New England digs into the antecedents of what we think of as traditional New England cookery, and what they uncover may come as a surprise to those who think of the region's classic dishes as bland and uninspired."—The Boston Globe
"While it can function as a cookbook, Northern Hospitality also would make an excellent textbook in food studies and American Studies classrooms. More importantly, it is significant beyond New England cultural history in that it shows how a regional food culture develops over time and in relationship to wider national history."—Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture
"This book collects almost 400 New England recipes from the 17th to early 20th century, but this big book by the husband-wife team of Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald is also rich in regional food history and humorously explained cooking lore."—CBS Boston
"Looking back through the recipes and techniques recounted in these cookbooks reminds us that history does record progress that may not be so dramatic as space flights and social networks but accounts for real and welcome change nontheless."—Portland Press Herald

This dish, eventually to be esteemed a New England classic, got its start in the pottage kettle or stewpot, as peas or beans and bacon, which one historian says was among the oldest of English dishes. In medieval times, the legumes were softened in water, drained, and stewed gently in bacon broth. A piece of bacon would be put in the pot when the peas were almost done.
By the time of the settlement of New England, there had developed in the Midlands county of Staffordshire a baked version of beans and bacon, called "blanks & prises." The beans were soaked overnight, then baked, along with onions, leeks, and honey-and-mustard-cured ham. "Staffordshire was also famous for its brown earthenware pottery, and in all probability its recipe for baked beans diffused with the special narrow necked pot employed in their preparation," writes Jay Allan Anderson. Sound familiar? The Staffordshire pot certainly sounds like the famous Boston Bean Pot.
13. TO DRESS BEANS AND BACON
When you dress Beans and Bacon, boil the Bacon by itself and the Beans by themselves, for the Bacon will spoil the Colour of the Beans. Always throw some Salt into the Water, and some Parsley nicely pick'd. When the Beans are enough (which you will know by their being tender) throw them into a Cullender to drain: Take up the Bacon and skin it; throw some Raspings of Bread over the Top, and if you have an Iron make it red-hot and hold over it, to brown the Top of the Bacon: If you have not one, set it before the Fire to brown. Lay the Beans in the Dish, and the Bacon in the Middle on the Top, and send them to Table, with Butter in a Bason.
—Glasse, Art of Cookery (1747), p. 12
The way this stewed dish was served up turned it into something not all that different from what we know as baked beans. Whereas one medieval recipe recommends taking steps to prevent the legumes spoiling the appearance of the bacon, Glasse's beans-and-bacon aesthetics are reversed— the bacon must not be allowed to disfigure the beans.
14. BEANS AND PEAS
Baked beans are a very simple dish, yet few cook them well. They should be put in cold water, and hung over the fire, the night before they are baked. In the morning, they should be put in a colander, and rinsed two or three times; then again placed in a kettle, with the pork you intend to bake, covered with water, and kept scalding hot, an hour or more. A pound of pork is quite enough for a quart of beans, and that is a large dinner for a common family. The rind of the pork should be slashed. Pieces of pork alternately fat and lean, are the most suitable; the cheeks are the best. A little pepper sprinkled among the beans, when they are placed in the bean-pot, will render them less unhealthy. They should be just covered with water, when put into the oven; and the pork should be sunk a little below the surface of the beans. Bake three or four hours. Stewed beans are prepared the same way. The only difference is, they are not taken out of the scalding water, but are allowed to stew in more water, with a piece of pork and a little pepper, three hours or more.
—Child, American Frugal Housewife (1833), p. 51
For quite a long time, colonial New Englanders ate what one historian has called "daily pottage fare" as their basic diet, probably more often than not the sort of hybrid of succotash and beans and bacon that we described, under the name "bean porridge," in the section on New England succotash earlier in the chapter. It was in the eighteenth century, as bake ovens came to be installed in many households (and taverns), that stewed beans and bacon evolved into baked beans. But as Child's recipe indicates, stewed beans and bacon didn't disappear altogether.
15. BAKED BEANS
The species of beans used for baking is called the white field bean. There are two varieties,—the large and the small, or pea-bean,—the last is considered the best.
Soak one quart in cold, soft water, over night; the next morning remove the water in which the beans have soaked, and wash the beans in fresh water; then put them into a pot with two quarts of cold water, set the pot over a slow fire, and let simmer two hours, then score one and a half pounds of fat salt pork, and put it into the pot, concealing it, except the rind, in the middle of the beans; pour in a tea-spoonful of salt, and water enough to cover the pork and beans, set the pot in a hot oven and bake six hours; if the water wastes so that the beans become too dry, add a little more.
Baked beans, after having stood a day or two, are very good warmed over. In some parts of New England they are considered indispensable at a Sunday breakfast.
Lima and kidney beans, and other varieties, are sometimes dried and baked as above; they cook in a shorter time than the white field bean.
—Bliss, Practical Cook Book (1850), p. 90
This recipe illustrates the standard mid-nineteenth-century practice— both in using the white field bean and in minimal seasoning, in this case with salt only. Beecher felt that "all the garden beans are better for baking" than "the common field bean." Her opinion gained few adherents however. One writer recommended adding saleratus, an early form of baking soda, to the dish just before it was baked.
16. BAKED BEANS, (WITHOUT PORK.)
Take one quart of clean, plump white beans, put them in a pan with sufficient water to keep them covered while soaking over night, (10 or 12 hours); pour off the water and put them in an iron kettle, to boil a half an hour, or until they can be crushed by a squeeze of the thumb and finger, and they are then ready to be poured into the baking pan, when a little brown sugar and salt may be added; pour sufficient water in the pan to keep them from burning at the bottom, and if the pan is covered it will prevent the beans at the top from being scorched. Bake from 3 to 4 hours.
—Hunt, Good Bread (1858), p. 17
The most important development in the subsequent history of New England baked beans was the addition of a sweetener to the beans (in this instance baked in a pan rather than a pot). It is ironic that one of the earliest occurrences of this innovation appears in this cookbook, which is otherwise notable for its austerity and proclaimed adherence to tradition.
17. NEW ENGLAND BAKED BEANS
Pick over and wash one quart of white beans and soak them over night in cold water; turn off the water, renew it with fresh, and boil steadily, keeping them covered with water until they begin to crack; drain and put them in the baking pot with not over half a pound of salt pork; cut the pork rind through across several times and have it a little above the beans; add two teaspoons of salt and one tablespoon of molasses; cover with water and bake slowly, all night is better; if cooked in a quick oven the water will dry away faster; keep sufficient water on them until done.
—Aunt Mary's New England Cook Book (1881), p. 20
Since the middle of the nineteenth century, molasses has been the sweetener of choice, as in this recipe. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc7Q5qhLA-t92I2xG | Line 1: As this program was written on an IBM i running 7.3 I am going to use totally free RPG.
Lines 2 – 5: As I will be calling the QCMDEXC API program I need to define a procedure prototype for the API. More on why I am using QCMDEXC in a few lines.
Line 6: I need to define the file, TESTFILE, with a DCL-F statement. This file will be used for update, it is keyed, and user opened.
Line 7: As this is a test program I want to be able to run this multiple times to make sure I update the right field with the right value. Rather than resetting the fields in the file I am going to copy the records from a "saved" file before any other processing. This also gives me a excuse to show again the differences in using QCMDEXC in a RPG program and in SQL. As I had defined QCMDEXC as a external procedure previously I can call it as I would a procedure. Rather than using variables to pass the Copy File command to the API I am using strings for both parameters.
Line 8: If I had defined TESTFILE without the user open the file would have been opened at program initialization, and the Copy File command would have failed. By using the user open in the file's definition the file remains close until I open it. Which I do here.
Line 9: This SETLL operation shows that I don't have to use a variable for the key field. I can use a string instead.
Lines 10 – 17: My Do loop to read all of the records in the file.
Line 11: I can also use a string for the key when using the READE operation.
Lines 12 – 14: If end of file is encountered exit the Do loop.
Line 15: Change the value of the field FFIELD.
Line 16: As I only want to update one field I am using the %FIELDS built in function. This will leave the value in the other field unchanged.
Line 18: As the file is user open I need to close it.
The danger is in a complex program I could have changed the value in a field in another file with the same name as one in this file. By using just the UPDATE operation that field would be changed. But If I had update one hundred fields in a file I would probably not list them all in the %FIELDS and just used the UPDATE operation.
Lines 2 - 3: I know in this example my file only has two fields, but I like to code my examples to cover more complex scenarios. With this in mind I have coded a data structure to be like my file TESTFILE. I will be using the data structure to receive the input from the SQL Fetch.
Line 4: As this is only a test I do not want to commit changes to the file, therefore I am using the SET OPTION to turn it off. I can do this when compiling the program too, but this makes absolutely sure just in case the person who compiles the program forgets to change the compile command parameter.
Line 5: In the RPG program I had to provide create declare a procedure prototype of QCMDEXC, and pass it the length of the string. I can far more easily just call the QCMDEXC SQL procedure.
Line 6 – 11: Here I declare/define the cursor I will be using to fetch rows (records) from the file. The Select statement is used to define which columns (fields) I want, from which file, and the selection criteria in this case just the rows where FKEY is '1', and the sort order. I always add line 11, it is not necessary as without the cursor is still opened for update. I just think it is better as it documents how the file will be used.
Line 12: All cursors have to be opened before they can be used.
Lines 13 – 22: The Do loop to Fetch (read) all the rows and update.
Line 14: A fetch is like a read, it retrieve a row (record) from the file. By using a data structure that is defined to be the same as the file, lines 2 and 3, I can fetch directly into it, rather than have to list individual columns (fields).
Lines 15 – 17: This is the equivalent of end of file processing. If the SQL Code, SQLCOD is not zero then some error was encountered. In my experience the most common error is end of file.
Lines 19 – 21: As I only want to update one column (field) I use SQL's update statement giving the column name I want to change with the value I want to change it to. The part to notice is line 21, this tells the cursor to update the cursor's current row.
Line 23: Having finished with the cursor I need to close it.
Same caution needs to be taken with this approach as it does with just using the update operation code without the %FIELDS built in function. Line 20 shows that I am setting the row to be the same as the data structure I fetched the data into. I could use another data structure if I so desired. It would just need to be defined to be the same as the file being updated.
As IBM works to improve the efficiency of data base access using SQL, rather than RPG, this is another good reason to write your programs using SQL for database access.
The interesting thing about using UPDATE WHERE CURRENT OF is that the row remains locked *after* the update. You can see this using debug and DSPRCDLCK. To unlock the row, fetch another row, or close the cursor or compile with CLOSQLCSR = *ENDMOD, or probably a few other options I can't think of right now.
Why would one want to circumvent the locking mechanism for UPDATE WHERE CURRENT OF? You would not do this with native RPG READ for update so why would you for SQL UPDATE? This is not an issue regarding CLOSQLCST=*ENDMOD.
I would ask why would someone want to leave a row locked after the module returns (exiting loop before a fetch hit EOF, did not close cursor)? In general, you probably don't.
Imagine a part master child part that is used in hundreds of parent parts and a process needs to add to the manufacturing allocations via a commonly used sub-procedure when creating a job order BOM. If you do that update and leave the row locked, dozens of jobs could suddenly throw an CPF5032 or CPF5027 message (row locked). But if you have a reason to leave the row locked after the update, you can do that.
Generally, RPG developers may think updating a row also releases a lock. In this case, no.
I like SQL vs Native, but it should be pointed out Block updates will improve performance. Data sets are the word of the day for the future...IBM drilled into me think data sets not file records...but that is maybe another post.
Excellent article, Simon! Scott is correct, it would be best to perform set processing where the UPDATE effects many rows, and doing this is a lot faster than any RPG native RLA I/O. Its astounding how the UPDATE gets "abused" way too often by 1 row at a time instead of the developer taking advantage of set processing (when is can be applied). As to set processing, commitment-control should be used as much as possible (all rows or none get updated).
If you want to translate the RPG source code using the %FIELDS() BIF to the SQL Equivalent, you should list the columns to be updated within the FOR UPDATE clause.
I believe that the statement: "Line 4: As this is only a test I do not want to commit changes to the file, therefore I am using the SET OPTION to turn it off." is technically incorrect, as written (at least how I'm reading it).
SET OPTION COMMIT = *NONE turns *commitment control* off, so an updated row gets committed to the table immediately, it does not bypass the update of the record in the table.
Exec Sql &SQLString but I'm not sure how to do the syntax. Is this possible?
There is a post about how to do that here. | c4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 |

BkiUdB0241xiErqyXrJ8 | Henri Huet (4 April 1927 – 10 February 1971) was a French war photographer, noted for his work covering the Vietnam War for the Associated Press (AP).
Early life
Henri Huet was born in Da Lat, French Indochina, the son of a Breton engineer and Vietnamese mother. At age five he was sent to France, where he was educated at Saint-Malo in Brittany and studied at the art school in Rennes, beginning his adult career as a painter. Huet later joined the French Navy and received training in photography, returning to French Indochina in 1949 as a combat photographer in the First Indochina War. After discharge from the navy at the end of the war ended in 1954, Huet remained in South Vietnam as a civilian photographer working for the French and U.S. governments. While employed by the United States Operation Mission (USOM) photo lab (1955–1960), he enjoyed the mentorship of lab director, Charles E. (Gene) Thomas, who himself had been a combat photographer in World War II. Several of Huet's photos reflect the influence of Thomas's work. He went on to work for United Press International (UPI), later transferring to the Associated Press (AP) in 1965, covering the Vietnam War.
Photographic career
Huet's photographs of the war were influential in moulding American public opinion. One of his most memorable series of photographs featured Pfc Thomas Cole, a young medic of the 1st Cavalry Division, tending fellow soldiers despite his own wounds. The series of twelve photographs was published in the 11 February 1966 edition of Life magazine, with one of the haunting images featuring on the cover. In 1967 the Overseas Press Club awarded Huet the Robert Capa Gold Medal for the "best published photographic reporting from abroad, requiring exceptional courage and enterprise".
Death
On February 10, 1971, during South Vietnam's invasion of southern Laos, known as Operation Lam Son 719, Huet and three other photojournalists joined the operation commander, Lt Gen Hoàng Xuân Lãm, on a helicopter inspection tour of the battlefront. The pilots of the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (RVNAF) UH-1 Huey carrying the photojournalists lost their way and flew into the most heavily defended area of the Ho Chi Minh trail, where it and a second chopper were shot down by hidden North Vietnamese 37mm anti-aircraft guns, killing all eleven on the photographers' aircraft and four on the other. Huet was 43.
Huet's fellow photographers were Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Kent Potter of UPI, and Keizaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek. The crash site was rediscovered in 1996 and, two years later, a second search team from the Joint Task Force Full Accounting (JTFFA), the Pentagon unit responsible for recovering MIA remains in Indochina and elsewhere, excavated the mountainside. They discovered aircraft parts, camera pieces, 35mm film, along with traces of human remains, which proved too scant for laboratory identification.
In late 2002, the search unit, renamed the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), declared the case closed on grounds of circumstantial group identification. After bureaucratic complications blocked efforts to bury the group remains on official ground, the Newseum in Washington, D.C. agreed to accept them and arranged in 2006 for their acquisition from JPAC. The ceremony on April 3, 2008, which preceded the Newseum's own official opening by a week, was attended by more than 100 guests including relatives of Huet, Burrows and Potter, and many former Vietnam War colleagues.
Speakers included Richard Pyle, Saigon bureau chief of the AP at the time of the crash, and Horst Faas, former AP Saigon photo chief. Pyle and Faas were co-authors of Lost Over Laos: A True Story of Tragedy, Mystery, and Friendship, published by Da Capo Press in 2003 and re-released in paperback in 2004, which recounts the personal stories of the four photographers, the events leading to their deaths, and how Pyle helped the JTFFA locate the crash site. Speakers in addition to Pyle and Faas included Newseum president Peter Prichard and AP president Tom Curley, and Burrows' son Russell spoke for the families.
A second book about Huet, titled Henri Huet: J'etais photographe de guerre au Vietnam, was published in Paris in 2006, authored by Helene Gedouin, a senior editor at Hachette Livre publishers of Paris, and Faas, with contributions from Pyle and other former Vietnam colleagues. The story of the shootdown also was told in Requiem, by the Photographers who died in Vietnam and Indochina, edited by Faas and Tim Page, and published by Random House, New York, in 1997.
Among his colleagues covering the war, Huet was respected for his dedication, bravery and skill in the field, and known for his sense of humor and kindness. Dirck Halstead, the Photo Chief of United Press International in 1965, remarked that he "always had a smile on his face".

BkiUfe45qhDCd8S7e5ES | The best digital hygrometer line just got a little better!
NEW YORK, July 15, 2012 – Western Humidor and Cigar Oasis are pleased to announce two new designs in the very successful Caliber series of digital hygrometers. Western Humidor first introduced the original Caliber back in 1994 as the first digital hygrometer designed for the cigar industry. That was followed by the Caliber II then the Caliber III, with Western Humidor continually setting the standard with what is considered to be the most accurate hygrometer on the market.
The Caliber line has gained a reputation for its reliable accuracy, slim profile design and no hassle operation. Building on these same principles, the new Caliber IV will continue to set the standard by adding in an additional feature, calibration. Yes, the Caliber digital hygrometer can now be calibrated!
In addition to the Caliber IV we are pleased to announce a new shape with the Caliber 4R.This hygrometer utilizes the same sensor, circuitry and calibration as the Caliber IV but in a design that will knock your socks off! Imagine a round hygrometer with the classic looks of an analog but powered by the advanced, accurate digital electronics of the Caliber line!
The addition to these new features was done without any compromises on features or quality. Both of the new units retain their legendary accuracy and are designed to eliminate gauge flutter with slow response updating time. Both still display humidity and temperature readings, have the ability to record maximum and minimum readings and can be set to display in either Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
"These two new products will revolutionize the digital hygrometer industry once again as Western Humidor has continued to do since 1994"and now under Cigar Oasis, says Al Foundos, President of Cigar Oasis. "The Caliber IV and Caliber 4R will set the bar much higher in terms of quality, design and functionality." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Every time I push, it succeeds but then I get a merge conflict over the compiled pdf file when I pull. I don't understand.
A: It sounds like you're checking in your PDF as part of your repository in the pre-push hook. The pre-push hook can't affect what is pushed; it only can accept or reject it.
What's happening is that you're trying to push the version without your PDF file updated (version A), your hook is modifying the commit to update the PDF file (version B), the push succeeds for version A, and then you're trying to pull the remote version (version A) again. Because your local branch (B) and the remote branch (A) now differ, pulling creates a merge commit.
PDFs are not designed to be line-oriented, and so you get a merge conflict between your old PDF and your new PDF.
There are two things you can do to make this better: don't try to modify things in a pre-push hook (just reject the push if it's not up to date or incomplete) and don't check in build products like a PDF into your repository. You're much more likely to get a conflict over two binary or non-line-oriented files than over two line-oriented source files.

BkiUdljxK7IDPADJ32o5 | Water is indispensable for life—for drinking, cooking, agriculture sanitation, the manufacture of everything from clothing to nuclear reactors, and, in general, for the health of every living thing on Earth. By and large, the amount of water on the planet has remained fairly constant over time as precipitation has recycled naturally through freeze-thaw, drainage, and evaporation back into the air, endlessly repeating the process.However, the consumption is unsustainable, and the situation is getting worse. The problem is compounded by the inefficiencies of irrigation through evaporation and runoff, leading to erosion, the leeching of nutrients from the soil, and pollution from pesticides and fertilizers. The disposal of animal waste also poses serious environmental concerns, as it spreads dangerous organisms into the waterways. Portable water consequently became less and less.
As freshwater demands increase and supplies decrease, questions about water usage intensify. The World Bank has identified water management and food production as pressing global concerns. Sustainable measures like rain capture, drip irrigation, reclamation, waterless toilets, and other new technologies can all help. The overall reduction of pollution and waste, along with enlightened governance, will be required as never before. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUdTU5qoTBAkU3UxyZ | Welcoming Chao to the team!
Hi Mary. Thank you very much for sharing this with me. It is wonderful, well written, honest part of a story that needs to be told. I was actually having a conversation the other day with a friend of mine and I was wondering why we do not have a museum to address the scale and effects of colonialism. Because we have a museum of holocaust in Germany, Museums of Slavery in America, but somehow the way we address the history of colonialism in Africa is as if it never happened or it was a small thing. It's so important that we tell these stories, especially because most of them are in living memory of current generations. It is an important project and one that needs our full attention as a country before it is too late. Otherwise we will be robbing future generations of the opportunity to confront the truth.
'Loving her approach', was Mary's response. To which Susan and I passionately agreed. Much to my excitement, Mary then told me that this friend of her's, Chao, had recently moved from Kenya to London and was working at the Science Museum. She suggested we meet.
A couple of weeks later - after Chao had returned to London from a visit to Kenya - we met in Covent Garden on a rainy and grey Sunday morning. From our conversation I learned that Chao was not only working as New Media Developer at the Science Museum, but was also a computer scientist, passionate historian, photographer and curator, keen to explore new ways to tell stories and connect with audiences.
We talked about the museum project, the history of Kenya, the awareness (or lack thereof) amongst people in the UK - and Kenya - about what had happened during the insurgency. Like Susan and Mary, Chao shared moving accounts of her family's experiences during the 1950s. Years of separation, followed by reunification. But a pervasive silence about what had passed in the intervening period. She told me about Mr Wachira, a man separated from his family during the Emergency and taken to Voi where he had stayed ever since, tending the graves of the British at the Commonwealth Cemetery. We delved into Chao's mission to document, preserve and restore the now-dilapidated Kenya - Uganda railway, otherwise known as the 'lunatic express' and talked excitedly about how this could be integrated with the museum's mission to gather and share stories and bring communities together throughout the country. We spoke of African Digital Heritage, archives, restitution and even more besides.. And Chao expressed how fortunate she felt to be able to say she was proud of Kenya, proud to be Kenyan.
And, as Mary would say, she started to walk with us on this journey.
Olivia and Chao meet in Covent Garden.. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfAHxK4sA-5fmy5d7 | "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware." Said Alan Kay, a Turing Award winner.
YU Kai was delivering a speech. PHOTO: Credit to Horizon Robotics.
Tesla released its own chips in August 2018 to replace Nvidia Drive PX2 systems used for AutoPilot 2.5-equipped cars. It's been three years of their companionship. By combining algorithm and hardware together, not only Tesla is capable to bring customers more efficient and more powerful autonomous driving experience, but save billions paying for Nvidia. However, it's a risky step for OEMs considering the huge amount of investment and long development cycle, especially in China. Thus, many Chinese AI startups are working on software rather than hardware.
But Horizon Robotics started their business in the opposite direction, dedicated to building a one-stop-shop AI solution.
Founded by Dr. Kai Yu, who used to be the Head of Baidu Institute of Deep Learning, the company develops chips and algorithms at the same time, focusing the applications in security cameras and autonomous cars. Yu's mission is to build the "Android of Robotics,"a pervasive AI system that powers all of our smart devices.
The company's products are built upon Brain Processing Unit (BPU), which is a proprietary and high-performance AI processor architecture independently developed by Horizon to combine AI algorithms and hardware design, according to Robotics And Automation New. The technology roadmap of BPU can be defined as three types of architecture, including Gauss architecture, Bernoulli architecture and Bayes architecture.
Horizon unveiled Gauss-architecture-based processor Sunrise 1.0 and Journey 1.0 in 2017, facilitating smart city &business and mobility respectively, and recently Bernoulli-architecture-based Journey 2.0 and Matrix 1.0 in 2018.
Journey 1.0 is applicable to L2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), for example, FCW(Forward Collision Warning), LDW(Lane Departure Warning) and ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) etc. It has detection accuracy of more than 99 percent for vehicles, pedestrians, lane lines and traffic signs. It can process 1080p@30fps in real time and can detect, track, and identify 200 targets simultaneously in each frame while consuming 1.5 watts.
Matrix 1.0, an autonomous driving computing platform using Journey 2.0 processor, can process 720p@30fps in real time and while consuming 31 watts, and support multi-sensor fusion and provide L3 AD solution and L4 AD solution for defined areas, building the brain for autonomous driving vehicles. Currently, the volume of the production is escalating gradually and in the stage of minor mass production.
In general, they divide their embedded AI solutions into three parts, perception, modeling and decision making. In the stage of perception, they use the structural deep neural network for highly efficient and comprehensive computation and the method of deep learning to achieve environmental perception and object detection, recognition and movement prediction. Next is modeling, where the system collects data from different and independent physical sensors and structure semantic 3D environment modeling with the help of Camera, Radar, Lidar and Map. The last is decision-making and trajectory planning. Horizon Robotics is working on their third generation production equipped with rational decision-making system, comparing to traditional end-to-end model, it will be more transparent, traceable and inferenceable according to iFenxi.
Based on 40-nanometer technology, same as MobileyeQ3, the typical power of Sunrise 1.0 and Journey 1.0is 1.5 watts while MobileyeQ3 is 2.5 watts, corroborating what Horizon Robotics claimed their products as "low power". DRIVE PX Xavier can deliver 30 TOPS(trillion operations per second) of performance while consuming only 30 watts of power which is available Q1 of 2018, while Journey 2.0 can deliver 10 TOPS consuming 31 Watts.It will take a fairly long time for the company to catch up with Nvidia in the future.
Horizon bills itself as the only Chinese self-driving startup collaborating with leading OEMs and Tier 1 companies in the top four automotive markets (US, Germany, Japan and China), and it has closely cooperated with the local partner Horizon Robotics to equip licensed test cars with hardware and software for autonomous driving. With the assistance of Horizon, Audi received its first test license for autonomous driving (level 4) on public roads and city highways in Wuxi on 14 September 2018.
Bloomberg reported that the company is looking to have autonomous test cars on Chinese roads by 2019.
To retrospect the ZTE crisis, putting the future of a USD 17 billion company and 75,000 jobs at risk. China has already committed USD 150 billion to build its domestic semiconductor industry over the next decade via the Made in China 2025 development programme. It seems that China is not lack of sufficient capital and consumer market, but the way will not be easy. According to South China Morning Post, even if there are Chinese chip makers focusing their chip efforts on devices to enable artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as neural network processors and graphics processors, as well as special-purpose reprogrammable chips, but analysts say they are at least 10 years behind the west.
"Doing it from scratch is a very, very high bar to figure out," said Chris Thomas, head of the Asia semiconductor practice at consultants McKinsey, reported by Financial Times. After all, we are glad to see Horizon Robotics is already heading out.
Horizon Robotics is the leader of embedded Artificial Intelligence. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUeJjxaL3SujGfKwAs | Samsung QLED TVs are certified as the burn-in free TVs by video, an acclaimed German tech magazine. Conducted in conjunction with the connect Testlab, a global testing lab, all 2018 Samsung QLED TV series were proved free of burn-in and afterglow reaffirming QLED TVs' position as one of the most durable displays on the market today.
The requirements for TV displays are made ever more demanding by technologies such as High Dynamic Range (HDR). The risk of putative burn-in is of particular concern to TV customers in the premium segment.
To see if displays stand up to the exacting performance requirements, the TV experts from video and connect Testlab carried out certification test based on the Information Display Measurements Standard (IDMS), an international norm for panel measurements, and concentrated on QLED TV's HDR content display quality.
Samsung's QLED TVs passed the stress test and received the certificate for ꞌno burn-inꞌ and ꞌno afterglowꞌ1. In a 72-hour endurance test, the testers performed measurements on Samsung QLED TVs to check their putative burn-in effects, which may be caused by static picture elements. These effects, also referred to as ꞌmemory effectꞌ, ꞌghostingꞌ, ꞌimage retentionꞌ, ꞌsticky imageꞌ or imprecisely as ꞌburn-inꞌ, tangibly impair the picture quality of a television.
In the case of some display technologies, memory effects will start glowing after one minute of TV use if static picture elements are shown on their screen in high luminosities. In the test, the TVs were therefore made to display a checkerboard pattern for deep black and very bright white values for longer periods of time.
The test engineers added variable text elements and an intermittently blinking white frame to the test picture so that the automatic stills detection customary for modern HDR TVs could not spring into action. This helped the testers create similar conditions as in HDR games. In addition to the standard analysis, the testers used dark gray images with brightness values of 10 nits– which will show if dark pixels are brightened up.
The measurements showed that the tested Samsung QLED TVs remained unaffected by the rigorous tests. The TV can thus theoretically be left on permanently without picture elements like network logos leaving an afterglow or burning in.
Taking into account that the quality of a TV screen is strongly impaired by afterglow and burn-in – especially after emitting HDR quality pictures with extreme brightness values – Samsung QLED TV is a product of choice among many other modern TVs for those planning to invest in a high-end TV. It guarantees powerful visual capabilities without potential memory effects or permanent damage.

College classmates raised concerns about Poway synagogue shooter – Los Angeles Times
SAN MARCOS, Calif. —
Not long before a 19-year-old San Diego County nursing student opened fire in a Poway synagogue, a hate crime that killed a congregant and wounded three others, he espoused ideology that alarmed his classmates.
John T. Earnest shared white supremist material with at least two of his Cal State San Marcos classmates, according to a newly obtained court filing. He studied Hitler. He had a copy of the manifesto of the man who shot up two New Zealand mosques in March 2019 — and he liked it.
Two fellow nursing students took their concerns about Earnest to a professor, who reported it up the chain at the university. An investigation followed, and university police were part of the team.
But, according to the court filing, because Earnest had made no threats or displayed any acts of violence, he was not arrested or pulled from school.
The revelation that students had reported concerns about Earnest was contained in a probation report filed in San Diego Superior Court when Earnest was sentenced in September to life in prison without parole for murder, attempted murder and arson.
It's the first confirmation that someone not only flagged his behavior, but that it had triggered an investigation in the weeks before the April 27, 2019, shooting at Chabad of Poway. After his arrest, the San Diego Union-Tribune followed up on tips that there may have been concerns on campus about Earnest, but reporters were unable to confirm the information at the time.
Asked about the investigation recently, university spokeswoman Margaret Chantung cited federal student privacy regulations and said she "can't speak specifically to this case or to any behavioral concerns related to Mr. Earnest that may have been shared with CSUSM."
She said that, in general, "concerning student behaviors" are reported to the Dean of Students Office, which oversees a campus team with specialized expertise to assess and respond. That team includes members of the University Police Department.
"The Team reviews for indicators/evidence that someone is planning or preparing to act out inappropriately; or has the potential to hurt themselves or others," Chantung said in an email.
The team then makes recommendations for "behavioral intervention, if it's warranted," she said.
Exactly what the team might have looked at or done with regard to Earnest is unclear. The matter is only briefly referenced in the court document.
After the shooting, the university fully complied with the FBI's investigation, Chantung said.
The university likely was in "a very tough position," said Henry Reichman, who chaired the American Asson. of University Professors' Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure for nine years.
"A public university can no more say, 'Well because you are saying these offensive ideas, you are mentally ill and we don't want you here,' anymore than the police have the right to take somebody because they are saying things and just throw them in jail," said Reichman, professor emeritus of history at California State East Bay.
It's not clear when the students reported their concerns about Earnest, including his admiration for the manifesto from the man who killed 51 worshippers at two New Zealand mosques March 15, 2019.
On March 24, 2019, Earnest set fire to Dar-ul-Arqam mosque in Escondido and spray-painted references to the New Zealand shooter. He then fled.
Earnest's identity as the arsonist was a mystery for a month until he confessed — an admission made in an open online letter he posted moments before the synagogue attack.
An undated photo of Lori Gilbert-Kaye taken during a trip to Israel. She died in the 2019 shooting at Chabad of Poway.
There were 54 people inside Chabad of Poway on the last day of Passover in 2019 when Earnest walked in and opened fire. Chabad of Poway congregant Lori Gilbert-Kaye, 60, was killed. Founding Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, Noya Dahan, then 8 years old, and her uncle, Almog Peretz, then 34, were injured.
In June, Earnest pleaded guilty in San Diego Superior Court to murder, attempted murder and hate crimes. He was later sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Before the sentencing, prosecutors filed a brief that points to statements made in the lead-up to the shooting, including a 2019 holiday party, where he reportedly made racist comments to classmates, ranking various ethnicities.
And in late 2018 — four months before the attack — he sent videos with antisemitic and anti-immigrant views to at least two people in his family circle and one university classmate, according to the court document.
Prosecutors allege in the motion that Earnest's radicalization started about 18 months before the shooting, with YouTube videos and visits to political boards on sites such as 4chan and 8chan. That matches what Earnest wrote in the open letter.
Earnest was transferred Nov. 3 to a state prison in the Central Valley, but was soon returned to San Diego, to be held in the federal jail pending his Dec. 28 sentencing in a parallel federal case.
Through a friend, Earnest recently sent the San Diego Union-Tribune a written statement in which he said he wanted to publicly repent for the attack, citing his religious imperative to do so. The statement, and two follow-up statements, include several white supremacist and antisemitic references.

BkiUbOrxK2li-F6Jw9Ca | Sound Off: Does Waterboarding 'Absolutely' Work?
Last February, as his campaign started to pick up steam, President Donald Trump said this in an interview with David Muir of ABC News: "Not since medieval times have people seen what's going on. I would bring back waterboarding, and I'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding."
This week, in an interview with Muir, the president said, "When they're chopping off the heads of our people and other people. When they're chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be a Christian in the Middle East, when ISIS is doing things that nobody has ever heard of since medieval times, would I feel strongly about waterboarding? As far as I'm concerned, we have to fight fire with fire."
Did he soften his position with this statement? "I will rely on Pompeo and Mattis and my group. And if they don't want to do, that's fine. If they do wanna do, then I will work toward that end. I want to do everything within the bounds of what you're allowed to do legally," Trump said. "But do I feel it works? Absolutely, I feel it works."
There's also a draft order created by the Trump administration that asks top national security officers to "recommend to the president whether to reinitiate a program of interrogation of high-value alien terrorists to be operated outside the United States and whether such program should include the use of detention facilities operated by the Central Intelligence Agency."
During his confirmation hearings, Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions said, "Congress has taken an action now that makes it absolutely improper and illegal to use waterboarding or any other form of torture in the United States by our military and by all our other departments and agencies."
According to President Trump, Secretary of Defense James Mattis told the President-elect during a November 2016 meeting that "'I've always found, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I do better with that than I do with torture.'"
What do you think? Should the President listen to his advisors or go with his gut? Is waterboarding or other forms of "enhanced interrogation" a reliable means of obtaining life-saving intelligence? Sound off! | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUd6jxK6wB9dbuUcIy | Abstract: Always create a Child Theme if using a theme purchased from a marketplace or built by someone other than yourself.
One of the biggest benefits to using WordPress is the ability to customize plugins and themes to meet your needs. There are some very important best practices that should be considered when making customizations to your existing website to accommodate the changes you wish to make.
Many websites use themes built by third parties. These themes occasionally receive updates that are visible in your WordPress Dashboard. It is important to keep your theme up to date for a number of reasons, primarily security updates, compatibility updates, and performance enhancements.
When a theme receives an update, any and all customizations you have applied directly to that theme (e.g. directly edited files in the theme directory) will be overwritten and lost. This does not necessarily apply to customizations you have made in the WordPress Dashboard, but the actual files of the theme itself.
To avoid losing customizations you have put in place, WordPress has implemented a concept of Child Themes. Child Themes are themes you can write and customize that run on top of a parent theme. In this case the parent theme would be the third party theme that might receive an update.
Child Themes are not automatically updated, but instead utilize all of the functionality of their parent theme, with the unique ability to customize and override functionality of the parent theme. The parent theme receives updates through the WordPress Dashboard, leaving your Child Theme (and all of your customizations) untouched and fully in tact.
Where twentyfifteen is the folder name of the parent theme. This line tells WordPress that we are working with a Child Theme and to inherit all that comes with it. Please see the Child Theme documentation for more info.
With your Child Theme active, you can make any and all customizations to the functions.php in your Child Theme without worrying about losing them when the parent theme receives an update. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

When finished, the beaded Blue Snake is about 23 inches long and almost as big around as a dime.
I use a variation of a square stitch. This Blue Snake pattern is done in this style. The stitch I use is quicker and softer than Peyote or Brick stitch. The difference is that with Peyote and Brick stitch the beads are added one at a time and stacked like bricks, as the stitch implies. With my square stitch the beads are added four at a time and are stacked like loom work, one directly on top of the other.

BkiUeoXxK4tBVhat5RJv | DEADLINE….you can't beat a good Zombie novel.
Two weeks ago I bought about 15 books from the local Lions Club charity book sale, one of which DEADLINE – by Mira Grant – I have just finished reading.
The book in question DEADLINE – the second book in a series of Zombie "Newsflesh" stories by Mira Grant.
Right now you probably have the same look on your face as my wife did when I showed her the front of the book I was so engrossed in – a look that said – Meh, another Zombie book….they're all the same.
But this one was different. Although it's the second book in what is currently a series of 4 books (the first book was called FEED), it can be read as a stand alone story as you get to know about what happened previously very early on in the story. From then on you'll be running hell for leather to the final page. Which incidentally has a double surprise at the end. For once, a Zombie story with an unpredictable ending. I literally said out loud – "Wow I was not expecting that!" – but it has set things up nicely for the next book in the series "BLACKOUT".
It's written from the perspective of former Blogger, now official journalist Shaun Mason, who's blog about living with Zombies morphed into a major news organization called "After the End Times". It's set in 2041….after the initial Zombie outbreak of 2014 – which sparked, the end of the world as we knew it. It's not just another Zombie story though. It's not "the Walking Dead" – there are guns and bombs – but there is also political foul play, horror, miniature bulldogs (yes you read that correctly – miniature bulldogs), the interplay or relationships between the main characters, journalism, suspense, action, science "Facts" to back up what was happening, mad scientists, sane scientists who appeared slightly mad…..and of course who could forget Shaun's dead sister Georgina (who he refers to as George and whom I assume gets killed in the first book of the series) speaks to him, from the grave, in his head – and he talks back to her. Oh yes…this story has it all.
Described as "Perfect Summer Apocalypse Reading", it is one of the few well written Zombie novels that I have come across and I ended up caring what happened to these characters. Sci-Fi Magazine praised the first book FEED as "The Zombie novel Robert A. Heinlein might have written".
The blurb on the back goes as follows…."Shaun Mason is a man without a mission. Not even running the news organization he built with his sister has the same urgency as it used to. Playing with dead things just doesn't seem as (much) fun when you've lost as much as he has. BUT when a CDC (Centre for Disease Control) researcher fakes her own death and appears on his doorstep with a ravenous pack of Zombies in tow, Shaun has a newfound interest in life. Because she brings news – he may have put down the monster who attacked them, but the conspiracy is far from dead. Now, Shaun hits the road to find what truth can be found at the end of a shotgun".
All of which sounds quite exciting – if slightly incorrect – you should never EVER use a shotgun on Zombies -potential contamination from blood splatter is increased by using a shotgun as opposed to a bullet from a pistol or rifle…. (as you'll find out if you read DEADLINE).
Mira Grant – the writer – lives in California, sleeps with a machete under her bed, and suggests you do the same (not to ward off Zombies – this is California after all!). Mira Grant is the pseudonym of Seanan McGuire – winner of the 2010 John W Campbell Award for best new writer.
The 3rd book in the "Newsflesh" Series "BLACKOUT" was nominated for a Hugo Award…..and there is a 4th book FEEDBACK released in 2016 that I now feel I have a duty to track down and read.
The end of DEADLINE has me not knowing what direction the 3rd book, BLACKOUT will take. Must get on to reading that very soon.
Meantime….my machete and baseball bat are beside my bed and this little lot are hanging behind my bedroom door…..just in case.
Are you prepared……for the Zombie Apocalypse?

BkiUabjxK2li-Hhr9RIQ | Two pages. You only have two pages to summarize who you are and what type of employee Deloitte can expect you to be. Composing your resumé can be a daunting task, but everyone looking to apply for a job has to go through it. The goal is to try and find a balance between including relevant information and being concise. Oh and not to mention, trying to stand out from the other applicants. Here are a few tips to ensure your resumé gets noticed.
Many refrain from putting on their resumé that "paper route" job they had when they were younger or even part-time work during school. You need to reconsider this attitude. Different jobs can demonstrate different qualities such as time management, responsibility and team skills. Their value should not be overlooked because they run alongside your education.
Good grades and work experience are important aspects of the resumé, but they only make up a portion of what recruiters notice. Deloitte looks for well-rounded individuals that are able to bring extra qualities outside of the job description. Do you play in a band? Are you an avid skydiver? Deloitte wants to hear about your hobbies, interests, extracurricular activities and volunteer experience. These showcase who you are and display your vast range of qualities. Interviewers will often take notice of these aspects in your resumé and bring them up during the interview.
The most valuable aspect of your experience is what you've gained. It is important to showcase that on your resumé. Focus on ways you have demonstrated leadership, worked in team environments, dealt with customers and explain what was learned from the experience. By doing this, you are able to provide a stronger overview of your experience and how it will relate to working at Deloitte. It also provides a bonus during interviews because it answers questions before the interview has even happened.
People often make the mistake of spending time putting together the perfect resumé, but they freeze when asked a question pertaining to what's on it. When putting together your resumé, think about instances when you experienced a conflict, lead others, provided service, or used creativity, and jot them down on a separate piece of paper. Having a great resumé can be your ticket to landing an interview, but how you elaborate on your resumé is what will land you the job.

BkiUdUM5qsNCPfj-l-ID | Q: Automatically get first item from drop down list to the input Is it possible to automatically get first item from drop down list to the input on page load? For example, the drop down list have 2 options: happy& sad. When the page loads, I want happy to be in the input on page load. So far, I got an empty input where the user need to select the option on the drop down list.
Jquery code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#username_select").change(function() {
$("#username_custom").val($(this).val());
});
});
</script>
username_custom id:
<input id="username_custom" name="custom" value="
<?php
if(isset($_POST['getusername'])) {
$getusername = $_POST['getusername'];
echo "".$getusername."";
}
if(empty($_POST['username'])) {
echo "".$row['username']."";
}
?>
">
username_select id:
<select id="username_select" name="getusername">
<?php
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM account WHERE websiteusername='".$username."'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<option value='".$row['username']."'>".$row['username']."</option>";
}
?>
</select>
A: To show the selected value of select in input
$("#YourInputId").val($("#username_custom").val());
To set the first option text of select
$("#YourInputId").val($("#username_custom option:eq(0)").text());
To change the textbox value on change of select
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#username_select").change(function() {
$("#username_custom").val($(this).val());
$("#YourInputId").val($("#username_custom").val());
});
});
A: In this line
echo "<option value='".$row['username']."'>".$row['username']."</option>";
you can add SELECTED to the option you want to get selected. You can use a variable in the while loop to find out which item you are at and get that item selected;
For ex.
$ctr = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<option value='".$row['username']."'" . ( $ctr == 1 ? "selected" : "" ) . ">".$row['username']."</option>";
$ctr++
}
Hope this helps.
Cheers
A: In this case you can also call change event of drop down.
$("#username_select").change();

Local Historic Landmark – Esher Place House – Under Serious Threat
Posted on Sep 9, 2020 by David Young 3 comments
Esher Place House is being sold by Unite The Union to developer Birchwood Homes who have lodged planning proposals for the conversion of this historically significant house into twenty-two, two bedroom apartments, with an extension block providing eight additional apartments and a further seven (possibly sixteen) houses to be built in the grounds.
The house was listed Grade II in 1975 but, as was invariably the case in the 1970s, no interior descriptions were included and neither were the grounds which include a grass amphitheatre and sunken garden by Sir Edwin Lutyens, a statue of Crouching Venus, the Pelham Urn (which is the only other listing for this property) and a majestic 335 year old Tulip Tree, reputedly the oldest specimen in Europe.
Lady Helen in front of Pelham's Urn in the garden of Esher Place. Photographed by L. Rothschild, 1904
In 1805, the estate of Esher Place was bought by John Spicer, a London stockbroker – a sign of things to come! At that time, the existing house was located on the banks of the River Mole and having already outlived years of architectural vicissitudes, most recently providing a place of retreat for the Prime Minister, Henry Pelham, was again drastically refashioned. Spicer unceremoniously stripped away all the additions that William Kent had made for Pelham, leaving Wayneflete Tower to stand alone. However, the materials and interiors were salvaged and used for the new building of Esher Place House to the Grecian design of Edward Lapidge. In 1895, Sir Edgar and Lady Helen Vincent bought the property and commissioned Achille Duchene and George Thomas Robinson to design a country estate residence in the French chateau style. 18th century interiors were even brought from Paris. The surviving 19th century interior architecture is easily comparable to Waddesdon Manor and also perhaps to some of the interiors of Mentmore Towers, which both coincidentally belong to the Rothschilds family who were good friends of the Vincents and visited Esher on numerous occasions. There are also striking similarities with Esher Place House at The Ritz.
It would seem that the developer has made the inaccurate assumption that the existing Esher Place House is simply a late Victorian refurbished and extended version of the original 1805 Spicer residence, dismissive, not only of the works carried out in the intervening years, but also of its earlier significant past. The commanding site is of enormous historic interest, as from this very spot, Henry VIII observed the grandiose building works on the opposite banks of the River Thames at Hampton Court, which "compelled the ambitious architect (Cardinal Wolsey) to couch his premeditated presumption, under the finesse that it was intended to be a humble offering from a poor but grateful servant, to his most august liege lord the King." The offering was accepted, but how little of the intention was believed we will never know, although from this point on Cardinal Wolsey only visited Hampton Court from Esher on three occasions and then as a refugee.
Unquestionably, the renowned architects responsible for the evolution of Esher Place House determine its fine credentials and national historic interest. However, the endless catalogue of eminent visitors that include royalty, aristocracy, diplomats, prime ministers, cabinet ministers, business leaders, authors, actors and even a Russian ballerina make it an equally remarkable part of English social history too. To name but a few – the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII (Duke of Windsor), King George VI, the Duchess of Albany, Lionel de Rothschild, Herbert Henry Asquith, Arthur Balfour, Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston Churchill, Austen Chamberlain, Cecil Rhodes, John Morley, Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan, Jane Austen, Henry James, George Curzon, Edith Wharton and Anna Pavlova are included in this impressive procession of guests.
Esher Place Residents Limited have commissioned a Heritage Consultant to assess and fully document the property and grounds in their entirety so that Birchwood's plans are hopefully thwarted and any future proposed development will be sympathetic to the house, which should continue to be understood and appreciated as a country estate residence with its enormous historical interest being fully acknowledged and indeed highlighted. With such an impressive quantity of historical rooms, panelling, ceiling features, fireplaces, the stone balustraded staircase and landscape it is important that all are properly recorded and preserved for future generations. Due to Historic England's unfortunate listing oversights of the 1970s and the greed of developers we have already witnessed a vast number of historical buildings and estates disappear and Esher Place House must not be added to this list of carnage. To even consider carving up the house as proposed and to create an estate within an estate, with a supermarket style carpark for its frontage is pure sacrilege and the proposal of Philistines!
Elmbridge BC must address the historic significance of Esher Place House before considering any development proposals. Permitting the current plans will be a national travesty as highly important interiors and the grounds will be destroyed forever.
Please Object – See Elmbridge applications 2020/0437, 2020/0438, 2020/0439, 2020/0440, 2020/0567 and 2020/0568.

In the 1940s my wifes family worked for a Mr.Parkes who owned dog racing tracks around London and I understand used Esher place for his staff. Is there any records of this use and ownership.

I am researching the architect George Thomas Robinson and I am appalled to learn that Esher Place is possibly to be redeveloped. Much of the work of this eminent Victorian architect has been demolished since his death in 1897, and there are few examples now left. Please do campaign to stop the redevelopment.

A Giving Hand Like Grandpa's August 2, 2017
In late June, we received beautiful stories of faith from teacher Barb Van Pelt at Laurentian Hills Christian School in Kitchener Ontario. The stories were written by Grade 7 and Grade 8 students at the school. We will run them over the course of the summer on the Thread of 1000 stories. We hope you'll enjoy the innocence, the honesty and the deep attachment these eloquent young Canadians have to their faith, and the faith of those who inspire them. We also hope they will move you to share your story of faith with us on the Thread. And don't forget to check out our $5000 Golden Thread contest for Canadians 30 and younger.
Ray Dedman wasn't just a family member or friend. He was a messenger of God, a supporter of friends, and a worshiper of the Lord. He lived his life for God and loved Jesus.
"A family who prays together, stays together," was a motto of Ray Dedman.
Ray was born on May 4, 1940. He grew up in the Evangelical United Brethren Church, in Roseville Ontario, and was baptized there. Later, he transferred his membership to Community Christian Reformed Church, where he confessed his faith at 23. Ray grew up on a farm in Oxford County. He lived in a reserved Christian home. When he was 16, Ray met a wonderful girl, named Anne Slotegraaf, and fell in love with her. They married in 1964.
The Slotegraafswere opposites of the Dedmans. They always cherished visitors and you were always welcome. You could come over anytime and there would be a snack or meal ready for you. Ray looked up to Catherine Slotegraaf, his mother in law, and wanted his home to be as welcoming as hers. To this day, Ray and Anne's home is always open to visitors.
Ray's family and friends were a big part of his life journey. His son, my Uncle Doug says, "As Ray's son, when I list the people who impacted my faith, Dad is at the top."
He influenced people around him by being himself. Ray was loving, helpful, kind, outgoing, generous, and an amazing grandpa. He was a mentor to the youth, and people around him respected him. He loved discussions about relationships with Christ Jesus and sharing his faith with others.
Ray's actions reflected who he was and who he was maturing to becoming. Faith helped him mature and be himself. He brought people together when there were problems, and set an example to his friends and family, and challenged others to grow in faith.
Ray had a significant amount of friends and was always willing to give up time for them, showing compassion. He demonstrated hospitality and what it means to care for people. People listened and appreciated him. Everyone could see his faith through his words and deeds. He told everyone to "always be honest with yourself," and this created better relationships within the family.
By nature, Ray was friendly, loved meeting new people, and was comfortable going up to a complete stranger and helping. Faith guided Ray's actions, words, and personality. Some bigger challenges Ray faced a sickness with livestock, cancer, and when Anne had a difficult pregnancy with Uncle Doug. Throughout this time he realized how important faith was to him and his family.
He spent a lot of time in prayer and worship. Ray even influenced the nurses and talked faith with them no matter where they were from. Sadly, Ray passed away on June 8, 2015, when he finally met God face to face. He will always have an impact on me and be remembered and cherished by family and friends. Christ was Ray's compass and I want Christ to be mine too.
Ray also had an impact on the church.
"Ray was a natural at meeting new people and was the best host our church ever had," said Keith and Joanne Oosthoek, a member of Community Christian Reformed Church and one of Ray's cherished friends.
Ray impacted the church by being hospitable, having a positive attitude, helping people expand their social boundaries, and teaching people to put their worry, and trust in God. Most of his church has either known Ray or has heard of him. Ray loved meeting newcomers and it didn't take long for him to get to know them.
"Ray tried to look for people who were new to the church and try and make them feel welcome. In the car after church, he would tell us about someone new he met, and he would explain all about them," said Uncle Doug.
People in the church admired Ray and spoke about how much he contributed to the church. He loved being with the youth and sharing his knowledge about God. Ray invited others over and made them feel welcome. He hosted Bible studies, helped people get involved in the church, played games with others to help build community, supported others and helped them when needed. Ray was a joyful person and you could see his love for God shining through him. Whether he was serving as a youth elder, was part of welcoming newcomers, instigating the road clean up for Community Christian Reformed Church, bringing people to his house after church, or as part of the outreach program and Vacation Bible School, you could tell that there was something special about Ray.
He gave up time to be part of the church council, various committees, church clubs, and even built the cross in the sanctuary and the steeple on the roof in front of the church. While he would look at himself as an ordinary man, when I look at my grandpa I see a man with a purpose, serving the Lord with his talents and actions, someone who God was working through. I am challenged to welcome someone new in my church or welcome them to a dinner at my house.
Ray played a big part in our community. Whenever there was an opportunity to share his faith with the community he would take it with open arms. He showed compassion and was always willing to help the neighbourhood. People recognized that he was different because he was a Christian, and you could tell by his actions. Whenever there was volunteering or someone needed help, Ray was ready for the job.
He worked for World Renew and World Missions where he helped to reconstruct houses. He also helped organize and regularly contributed to skid building to support the local Christian schools. Ray thought that no matter what background or religion you were from, you were still a part of God's family. He was the president of the International Plowing Match in 2012.
Ray helped the community by donating money and time to schools, hospitals, and local communities. He was an active member of the New Dundee Board of Trade and much more. Whenever you needed support either physically or emotionally he was always ready to lend a hand. Ray influenced many members of the community through his demonstrations and efforts.
Ray Dedman will be missed by many, but especially by his friends, family, and myself. Ray lived a long life in Christ. He impacted the people around him, the church, and the community. I have always looked up to Ray, and how he did so much for the community that I will never forget. I'm inspired to give to someone in my family, church, and community a hand when they need it, just like my Grandpa did.

"I grew up attending church and singing in the church choir. But, I wouldn't consider myself or my family to be religious. As a child, I never really understood why I needed to go to church. I didn't understand the importance that faith or religion can play in a person's life. I truly believe that my story of faith begins in 2012 because that year the dynamic of our family changed."

BkiUfkk5qhDCd63mTZnE | Ciara Reed and a few fellow students recently formed the new Self-Defense Club at the University of Washington Bothell. Their goal is simple: bring students and campus safety officers together to strengthen campus security and ensure students are better prepared to deal with emergencies of all sorts.
The club offers lectures with safety officers and police to inform students about what to do in case of a campus emergency. The club also offers basic survival classes where students can learn skills such as how to make an emergency kit or what to do if their car breaks down.
Safety officers are coordinating with the club to provide guidance and helpful resources, including the online database about emergency preparedness created by the Office of Campus Safety.
The club itself is student led. Everyone's ideas are welcome, say club leaders, who are looking to increase membership and outreach to students across campus.
"We are a student-oriented club and are going to do whatever students ask of us to help them feel safer. When we have our weekly meetings, we make sure that everyone has a chance to speak and everyone's opinion is heard," said Sean Wilson, a mechanical engineering major and club treasurer.
The club will be holding more events soon. To contact them and stay in touch, follow them on Facebook. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdCg5qX_BiS5Jh2ju | Dhani is an Indian software company. Its app provides digital financial and healthcare services.
History
The company was founded by Sameer Gehlaut in 1995, as Indiabulls Ventures Limited which was later renamed Dhani Services Limited in October 2020 to accommodate the consumer business of the Indiabulls Group under one brand name. In 2017, one of its subsidiaries, Indiabulls Consumer Finance Limited launched an app-based lending platform primarily focused on the personal loans' domain. In October 2020, the subsidiary also adopted a new name as Dhani Loans & Services Limited. Another subsidiary, Indiabulls Securities Limited adopted a new name Dhani Stocks Limited in 2020 and a new company Dhani Healthcare Limited was incorporated to offer telemedicine and online pharmacy services.
Funding
In October 2020, Dhani raised ₹1.47 billion by issuing 8.4 million shares to New York-based NWI Management.
Again, in October 2020, the company raised ₹12 billion from General Catalyst Partners, Think Investments, Ribbit Capital, First Royalty Ventures, and the founder Sameer Gehlaut.
Services
Dhani's super app combines an online wallet with buy now, pay later facility plus a subscription fee & primary healthcare services under OneFreedom. In Dhani OneFreedom's subscription business model, depending on how much credit limit the customer is granted irrespective of the actual limit utilization, the interest charged on it which is termed a monthly subscription exponentially rises. In its gamified ecosystem, customers use multiple products within the app to perform mobile recharge, loan repayments, and insurance payments. The platform now also offers direct investments in stocks listed on Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India.
In 2020, the company integrated online pharmacy with its super app. Within it Dhani Doctor, a telemedicine service including instant video consultations with in-house doctors was added.
In 2021, Dhani's super-app was rated as one of the best personal loan applications in India by The New Indian Express.
Controversies
In mid-February 2022, many non-users reported that they have faced issues over the misuse of their permanent account number details by unknown third parties on the Dhani app to avail loans without their consent and knowledge. Complainants said their credit scores were harmed because credit reports displayed loans they never took as defaults.
In April 2021, many non-users of the Dhani app received a text message to pay for a loan that was never taken by them. The company later apologised to its users for this tech glitch.
In December 2020 Times of India news report, it was revealed that women doctors on various Indian online doctor consultation portals face "sexual harassment" from patients. At that time, the company "expressed inability" to issue any "formal statement".
In 2019, Securities and Exchange Board of India impounded ₹8720,000 from the former non-executive director of the company and her husband in an insider trading case. Together, they possessed unpublished price-sensitive information that they used to trade the stocks in 2017–2019.

JCTR Head of programmes, Geoffrey Chongo wonders where government will find the money to pay farmers when it is in a debt crisis.
Mr Chongo fears that government might abandon some of the ongoing activities and divert the money to pay farmers, or resort to further borrowing.
He has further questioned President Lungu's move to increase the maize floor price from K75 to K85 describing it as a political gimmick.
Mr. Chongo states that though the increase in the maize floor price is welcome, it raises a lot of questions considering that this is an election year. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbHjxK3YB9m7_8Ewu | Bare - a cabaret dancer's life
By Tessa Skola
'Glamorous, 'exciting'; this is the world of international cabaret as seen from the tables. But what is it really like for the artistes? Tessa Skola, a girl born to dance, was part of this scene for twenty five years. In this honest and shocking account she reveals exactly what it was like, both in her professional and private life, to travel the world as a solo act within the sometimes seedy and dangerous club circuit, in pursuit of her dreams
2 People Reviewed This Product
By penrose
BARE is a remarkable document, full of details of the aparently glamorous but often sordid and shocking life of a cabaret dancer. Tessa Skola is a survivor - luckily, as most people would have been destroyed by the physical and mental horrors of the life to which she felt committed by her love of dancing. Betrayals, rapes, burglaries, the absolute necessity to keep smiling and performing while your heart is breaking: she triumphed over them all, and lived to tell the tale. BARE exposes Tessa, body and soul; it is compulsive reading.
Candid, shocking and beautifully written. Cabaret dancing is a glamorous, high octane profession, but there's a dark side to it too, and that's what Tessa Skola reveals so movingly in this amazing autobiography. Raised in Cornwall and trained as a classical ballerina, Tessa eventually found herself dancing on the international circuit and the story of her travels, love affairs and some terrifying adventures makes compulsive reading. This is an astonishing life story and I'm so glad I read it. COPIED - Literature lover on Kindle Review

New from Every Movie Has a Lesson by Don Shanahan: MOVIE REVIEW: Alice, Darling
Images courtesy of Lionsgate
ALICE, DARLING— 3 STARS
At a crucial moment of realization and separation, Anna Kendrick's title character in Alice, Darling has lost an earring given to her by her boyfriend while out paddleboarding on a lake with a friend. She panics and tries hopelessly over and over to swim to the bottom into cold and murky water. When she finally speaks to her state of panic, her words are "I can't do another thing wrong."
That line from Kendrick is as frosty as the water for a lingering moment. There's a sense of surprise that Alice actually said something at all. The reason is, up to that point, only the viewers of Alice, Darling have seen the small, private glimpses into the kind of distrusting pressure coming from her burgeoning artist boyfriend Simon, played by TV actor Charlie Carrick.
Alice, Darling, written by Alanna Francis (The Rest of Us), constantly orbits Alice and her psyche. Through that perspective, the film shows Simon's neediness for personal and sexual fulfillment from the submissive Alice. His ego, amplified by his vain artistic aims, cannot handle criticism or even compliments. All the while, Alice is there tethered to his every beck and call.
LESSON #1: THE SIGNS OF NARCISSISTIC ABUSE SYNDROME– Simon's constant devaluation of Alice and her corresponding behavior to be manically attached to his calls, texts, presence, and words show how far the woman's mentality has been warped. The textbook narcissistic abuse behaviors of Simon scream off the screen. However, those screams stay silent because of Alice's stern denial of what has occurred and built up for years. In her eyes, she's the wrong one.
So, when that line of "I can't do another thing wrong" comes out, it becomes the first crack of many to come to Alice's jaded core. The fact that her two best friends, Tess and Sophie, played by Letterkenny's Kaniehtiio Horn and Loki standout Wunmi Mosaku, get to hear that overt admission simultaneously confirms fears and sets a course for supportive action for Mary Nighy's film.
Companionship is key to Alice, Darling, the feature directorial debut of Mary Nighy (Bill's daughter). It was Tess and Sophie's idea to leave the city and enjoy a week-long lakeside cabin birthday getaway. Before they realized a sliver of what was really going on, the two had their unspoken suspicions about Simon and Alice. They saw the clues to an eating disorder, her cell phone dependency for constant connection, and her apprehension for loosening up like one of the girls.
When they pushed, curt arguments would come out. At least someone pushed. Not everyone is lucky to have close confidantes. As fate would have it, the three women arrived at their rural Ontario rental during a time of off-screen local upheaval. The small town has been in the midst of a fruitless missing persons search for a young woman thought to have fled her abusive partner. As that subplot surfaces, that parallel is not lost on the three women and the film itself.
LESSON #2: HELP A FRIEND SEE THE TRUTH– Thus, to now see Alice in a state of hyperventilation over a missing earring and confiscated cell phone, Sophie and Tess change their tune. In other "girl tribe" settings of more comedic movies, someone would scream at the victimized Alice to, in so many words, get the f–k out of whatever situation she is in. Instead, these two stalwart friends take on a more holistic approach to address Alice's codependency and mental abuse and chip away at the calloused fear inside.
With enduring courage, Alice, Darling is unafraid of its percolating host of difficult triggers. Once again, more unfocused efforts would address those issues with biting audacity and a louder volume. However, Francis's screenplay knows a damaged friend cannot be healed in the matter of a bestie weekend. Rather, the movie fleshes out and rightfully favors what will be the beginnings of a bracing honesty for its characters. More often than not, that looks more like a caring and standing defender of outside perspective than a scorned person of vengeful reprisal.
The credit for Alice, Darling's more dignified attitude lies within the women in front of the camera and Mary Nighy behind it. Achingly reaching for her character's renewed clarity, this is some of the best work of Anna Kendrick's career. From even the small ways Anna portrays nervous ticks with her hair and hands to mirror the tightly-wound disposition, the former Oscar nominee dials down her usual effervescence and offers a nuanced performance to be quite proud of.
Kaniehtiio Horn and Wunmi Mosaku emerge as very engaging pillars of strength. They were not assigned "good cop" or "bad cop" parts to bust down doors of conflict. Likewise, they are never a pair of echo chambers either. Each has their own concentrations of temperament and tolerance for what they discover– both arriving at the same goal of protection from their own directions. Without question, they are the linchpins of Alice, Darling.
Together, all three find impressive unity. One thing is for sure. You'll never listen to the lyrics of "Stay (I Missed You)" from Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories the same way again. Stuff is going to hit close to home and that's the point.
The latitude was there in Alice, Darling to have characters become completely destroyed in more shocking and titillating fashions. Many movies circling abuse go straight to stiffer physical variety with bolder and wilder narratives. Mary Nighy and Alanna Francis took on a more unique challenge to expose the coercive side that lacks tawdry bloodshed. Their result hurts plenty in its own right and succeeds to seek higher healing.

BkiUapLxK7Tt6CA5EoUT | This section explains what an ip address is and how you resolve ip address problems.
Question: How do I find out what my IP address is on my computer?
Answer: With Windows 2000, XP, or Vista all you have to do is click start, select all programs, click on Accessories, and then select the command prompt program. From the prompt type "ipconfig" you should get something like.
This is your IP address along with some other network information for you computer.
Question: I have an internal ip address, wich is 192.168.0.2. I would like to find out what my external or public ip address is, how do I do that?
Answer: It can be done a number of different ways. You can either login to your router with your username and password and take a look at your router status, it will usually show you what your public ip address is. Or you can simple surf to a website called http://www.whatismyip.com and it will tell you what your external ip address is.
Question: I am using a Netgear router with DHCP and get an ip address assigned to me automatically. How do I get a different ip address?
Answer: In Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista. Click on Start and then Run. Type CMD or alternatively type in command. Your command prompt window should load. Type in ipconfig /release and press enter and after that type in ipconfig /renew. This should renew your DCHP lease along with your ip address. Please note though that you might not necessarily get a new ip address when you do this. But you will renew the connection to your router wich should solve your problem. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUePvxK0wg0_74_qmy | Then the third wing raised itself up, and held the rule as the earlier ones had done, and it also disappeared. And so it went with all the wings; they wielded power one after another and then were never seen again. I kept looking, and in due time the wings that followed also rose up on the right side, in order to rule. There were some of them that ruled, yet disappeared suddenly; and others of them rose up, but did not hold the rule.
And after this I looked and saw that the twelve wings and the two little wings had disappeared, and nothing remained on the eagle's body except the three heads that were at rest and six little wings.
As I kept looking I saw that two little wings separated from the six and remained under the head that was on the right side; but four remained in their place. Then I saw that these little wings planned to set themselves up and hold the rule. As I kept looking, one was set up, but suddenly disappeared; a second also, and this disappeared more quickly than the first. While I continued to look the two that remained were planning between themselves to reign together; and while they were planning, one of the heads that were at rest (the one that was in the middle) suddenly awoke; it was greater than the other two heads. And I saw how it allied the two heads with itself, and how the head turned with those that were with it and devoured the two little wings that were planning to reign. Moreover, this head gained control of the whole earth, and with much oppression dominated its inhabitants; it had greater power over the world than all the wings that had gone before.
After this I looked again and saw the head in the middle suddenly disappear, just as the wings had done. But the two heads remained, which also in like manner ruled over the earth and its inhabitants. And while I looked, I saw the head on the right side devour the one on the left.
While the lion was saying these words to the eagle, I looked and saw that the remaining head had disappeared. The two wings that had gone over to it rose up and set themselves up to reign, and their reign was brief and full of tumult. When I looked again, they were already vanishing. The whole body of the eagle was burned, and the earth was exceedingly terrified.
He said to me, 'This is the interpretation of this vision that you have seen: The eagle that you saw coming up from the sea is the fourth kingdom that appeared in a vision to your brother Daniel. But it was not explained to him as I now explain to you or have explained it. The days are coming when a kingdom shall rise on earth, and it shall be more terrifying than all the kingdoms that have been before it. And twelve kings shall reign in it, one after another. But the second that is to reign shall hold sway for a longer time than any other one of the twelve. This is the interpretation of the twelve wings that you saw.
'As for your hearing a voice that spoke, coming not from the eagle's heads but from the midst of its body, this is the interpretation: In the midst of the time of that kingdom great struggles shall arise, and it shall be in danger of falling; nevertheless, it shall not fall then, but shall regain its former power. As for your seeing eight little wings clinging to its wings, this is the interpretation: Eight kings shall arise in it, whose times shall be short and their years swift; two of them shall perish when the middle of its time draws near; and four shall be kept for the time when its end approaches, but two shall be kept until the end.
'As for your seeing three heads at rest, this is the interpretation: In its last days the Most High will raise up three kings, and they shall renew many things in it, and shall rule the earth and its inhabitants more oppressively than all who were before them. Therefore they are called the heads of the eagle, because it is they who shall sum up his wickedness and perform his last actions. As for your seeing that the large head disappeared, one of the kings shall die in his bed, but in agonies. But as for the two who remained, the sword shall devour them. For the sword of one shall devour him who was with him; but he also shall fall by the sword in the last days.
'As for your seeing two little wings passing over to the head which was on the right side, this is the interpretation: It is these whom the Most High has kept for the eagle's end; this was the reign which was brief and full of tumult, as you have seen.
'And as for the lion whom you saw rousing up out of the forest and roaring and speaking to the eagle and reproving him for his unrighteousness, and as for all his words that you have heard, this is the Messiah whom the Most High has kept until the end of days, who will arise from the offspring of David, and will come and speak with them. He will denounce them for their ungodliness and for their wickedness, and will display before them their contemptuous dealings. For first he will bring them alive before his judgement seat, and when he has reproved them, then he will destroy them. But in mercy he will set free the remnant of my people, those who have been saved throughout my borders, and he will make them joyful until the end comes, the day of judgement, of which I spoke to you at the beginning. This is the dream that you saw, and this is its interpretation. And you alone were worthy to learn this secret of the Most High. Therefore write all these things that you have seen in a book, put it in a hidden place; and you shall teach them to the wise among your people, whose hearts you know are able to comprehend and keep these secrets. But as for you, wait here for seven days more, so that you may be shown whatever it pleases the Most High to show you.' Then he left me. | c4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

Impact of a bundle on prevention and control of healthcare associated infections in intensive care unit - Abstract
Inpatients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at high risk for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
In the current study, a bundle of interventions and measures for preventing and controlling HAIs were developed and implemented in the ICU by trained personnel, and the impact of the bundle was evaluated. The incidence of HAIs, the adjusted daily incidence of HAIs and the incidence of three types of catheter-related infections before and after the bundle implementation were compared. The execution rate of the bundle for preventing and controlling ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was increased from 82.06% in 2012 to 96.88% in 2013. The execution rate was increased from 83.03% in 2012 to 91.33% in 2013 for central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), from 87.00% to 94.40% for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), and from 82.05% to 98.55% for multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), respectively. In total, 136 cases (10.37%) in 2012 and 113 cases (7.72%) in 2013 involved HAIs, respectively. Patients suffered from infection of the lower respiratory tract, the most common site of HAIs, in 134 cases (79.29%) in 2012 and 107 cases (74.30%) in 2013 respectively. The incidence of VAP was 32.72‰ and 24.60‰, the number of strains of pathogens isolated was 198 and 173, and the number of MDROs detected in the ICU was 91 and 74 in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The percentage of MDROs among the pathogens causing HAIs was decreased in each quarter of 2013 as compared with the corresponding percentage in 2012. In 2013, the execution rate of the bundle for preventing and controlling HAIs was increased, whereas the incidence of HAIs and VAP decreased as compared with that in 2012.

BkiUbp85qsJBji8agCss | cracker of a week of FIVB Volleyball World League action.
A record 38 matches - almost a quarter of the 160 that make up this year's record-breaking tournament - will be held around the world from Friday to Sunday. The twelve teams in Intercontinental Group 3 also enter the fray with three four-team tournaments taking place in Podgorica, Montenegro, Taraz, Kazahkstan and Tepic, Mexico.
Possibly the most eye-catching tie of this global volleyball weekend will be played out in Chicago. Defending champions USA, the only team in Intercontinental Group 1 with a maximum twelve points to their name, welcome the Poles (currently on 10 points), who are also undefeated in their four matches.
The other two teams in Pool B have had a really tough time of it so far: Olympic champions Russia and Iran are without a win from their first four matches and face each other in Kazan both needing a win to keep alive their hopes of progressing to the Finals.
"At the moment, we are looking at Rio de Janeiro through binoculars. We must restart and reset after these two matches and start training immediately to increase our skill level," said Russia coach Sergio Busato. Only the two top teams from each of pools A and B plus host country and world number one will play in the big final. The final ticket goes to the winner of Group 2. The big final will take place at the Maracanãzinho in Rio de Janeiro from July 15-19, and will serve as a test event for the volleyball competition at the Olympic Games in 2016 at the same venue.
Brazil are already on course to hit top form – and have demonstrated that by claiming four victories and eleven points in their home matches so far. Last year's finalists, who have been waiting five years for their tenth triumph in the FIVB World League, now face their first tough test away from home, in the form of Serbia. "Playing against Brazil is always one of the absolute highlights for any player in the world. However, we will obviously be trying to win," said Serbian coach Nikola Grbic ahead of the matches in Novi Sad and Beograd.
In the other duel in Pool A, hosts Italy are the clear favourites against the team from Australia.
France, who finished fourth at the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship Poland 2014, is the only one of the twelve teams in Intercontinental Group 2 with a perfect record of four wins and twelve points. "Les Bleus" welcome the Czech Republic this weekend. French captain Benjamin Toniutti said: "After picking up four wins on our Asian tour of Korea and Japan, the pressure is off a bit when we welcome the Czech Republic at home." The other match in Group 2 is the all-Asian clash between Korea and Japan. While in Pool D a clear favourite, in the form of France, has emerged to win the group and progress to the Group 2 Finals, the other pools remain closer affairs.
In what might prove to be the crucial match in Pool C, Canada (14 points from six matches) take on Bulgaria (eight points from four matches), who are already guaranteed their place at the Group 2 Finals as hosts. Pool E has developed into a two-team race between Belgium (14 points from six matches) and the Netherlands (seven points from four matches). The "Oranjes" host Finland, while Belgium take on winless Portugal.
Two pools in Intercontinental Group 3 - the best teams in the Group will play the Finals in Slovakia from July 4-5. The spotlight will be on two World League debutants, in the form of Euro League winners Montenegro (in Pool F with Tunisia, Puerto Rico and Turkey) and Kazakhstan (in Pool H with the returning Egypt and Venezuela, as well as Spain).
The two newcomers have home advantage. In Pool G, Mexico are at home against strong opposition from China, Slovakia and Greece.
"I am looking forward to gaining new experience in a great competition like the World League, with interesting matches against teams like China and Mexico," said 35-year-old Slovakian captain Michal Masny. "Our goal is to win the finals in Bratislava to advance to Group 2 next year.
The 26th staging of the FIVB World League has also expanded once again. 32 teams – four more than in 2014 – battle for the title at the most prestigious annual event in the volleyball world, which this year spans a record ten weeks. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdkE5i7PA9KWZE94n | Unit 3 is the foundation teaching course, preparing candidates to teach a beginners' class. They learn how to present and demonstrate handing, phrasing, steps and some formations (listed in the Syllabus, Appendix D), identifying teaching points; to observe and correct faults; to give clear instructions and coach rhythmically; to manage their class; to make good use of music; and to develop an enthusiastic, encouraging manner. The course tutor may also provide advice on Unit 4 (teaching practice) for candidates continuing to Part 2 of the Teaching Certificate (see form X3-28).
It is necessary to attend a 25-hour course of tuition for Unit 3, which is often combined with a Unit 2 course. A regular schedule of courses and examinations is offered annually at the RSCDS Summer School at St Andrews. Some other schools run courses and Branches run courses according to local need. The Unit 3 examination must be held no later than four weeks after the course ends, and candidates must take it no later than three years after passing Unit 2. Guidance to Branches on examination procedures can be found on form X2X3-06, including minimum allowable candidate numbers and related costs. Branch organisers must notify the RSCDS at least three months in advance of their intention to hold an examination and submit an application form no later than six weeks before the proposed examination date.
For Summer School 2019 the courses for Units 2 and 3 are taken in sequence over the first two weeks: the Unit 3 examination will be held at the end of the second week, with the Unit 3 course beginning during the first week.
Any candidate coming to Summer School to do only Unit 3, who has not previously done the course, must attend Summer School in time for the start of class on the Wednesday of the first week. This rule does not apply to candidates re-sitting the Unit 3 examination.
Candidates' applications with fees included must be received at the RSCDS office:
No later than 6 weeks before the date of the examination to sit Unit 3 at a Branch or approved centre
No later than 1st February to sit Unit 3 at Summer School
In the examination, candidates are required to present an assigned step and 16-bar phrase to a group of 16-18 notional beginners in a 25-minute lesson. They must teach the assigned step and identify and teach the formations involved and the transitions between them. Assignments (of which samples are available) are allocated in advance (see Syllabus p. 6 for details); candidates must then prepare a lesson plan, to present to the examiners and tutor at the beginning of the exam. The assessment form gives an indication of what examiners will be looking for and their mark scheme. Several documents provide other helpful advice.
The results will normally be sent out within six weeks of the Unit 3 examination. Candidates who fail may re-sit the exam twice, following an interval during which they should take steps to improve their skills. | commoncrawl | 4 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUeBHxK4sA-7sDf17Q | Lo sparviero minore (Accipiter minullus ()) è un uccello rapace della famiglia degli Accipitridi diffuso nelle regioni meridionali, centro-meridionali e orientali dell'Africa.
Descrizione
Dimensioni
Misura 20–25 cm di lunghezza, per un peso di 74-85 g nel maschio e di 68-105 g nella femmina; l'apertura alare è di 39–52 cm.
Aspetto
Questo piccolo rapace si distingue per il becco molto piccolo e le lunghe zampe ricoperte da calzari come la maggior parte degli sparvieri. I sessi sono identici, ma la femmina è più grande del 12% e più pesante del 17%. I giovani hanno un aspetto diverso dagli adulti: effettuano la muta e iniziano ad acquisire il loro piumaggio definitivo non appena raggiungono l'età di 3 mesi.
Il maschio adulto presenta parti superiori di colore blu-grigiastro scuro, fatta eccezione per una banda bianca che attraversa il groppone e per due evidenti macchie bianche che ornano la coda nera. Quando la coda viene dispiegata, le macchie corrispondenti che macchiano i vessilli interni delle altre rettrici formano un'indistinta barra incompleta. Sulle parti inferiori, la gola e la zona anale sono di colore bianco uniforme, mentre il resto di esse è bianco-grigiastro con una distinta sfumatura rossastra sui fianchi. Il petto, l'addome e le cosce sono ricoperti da numerose barre marroni. La femmina ha aspetto identico, ma appare più grigio-brunastra sopra e più barrata sotto. L'iride è gialla. Nei giovani, le piume delle parti superiori sono marroni con bordi camoscio-rosso. La banda sul groppone è parzialmente nascosta da macchie scure. Le parti inferiori sono bianche o talvolta camoscio-rosso chiare, con motivi a forma di goccia sul petto e sul ventre, nonché larghe barre sui fianchi. Gli adulti hanno l'iride giallo-arancio e cera e zampe gialle. I giovani hanno l'iride grigio-bruna e cera e zampe giallo-verdastre. La sottospecie tropicalis è caratterizzata da un piumaggio più chiaro.
Voce
Gli sparvieri minori sono generalmente silenziosi, tranne quando si trovano vicino al nido. Producono allora dei kiou kiou kiou o dei kik kik kik in serie di 5 o 6 note, più elevate nei maschi che nelle femmine. Variazioni di questo grido vengono utilizzate come richiamo di contatto, nonché durante le parate o la difesa del nido. Quando porta il cibo alla femmina, il maschio emette un ki-ack ripetuto dolcemente. I richiami di questa specie sono spesso imitati dai dronghi del genere Dicrurus.
Biologia
Gli sparvieri minori vivono da soli o in coppia. Presso questi uccelli, le parate aeree non sono molto spettacolari, ma, al mattino presto, entrambi i partner emettono continuamente dei gridi durante le sei settimane che precedono la deposizione delle uova. Essi volano con rapidi battiti d'ala, portando ramoscelli che a volte lasciano cadere e non raggiungono mai il nido. Poco prima dell'accoppiamento, il maschio oscilla la testa, gonfia le piume e abbassa le ali rivelando la linea bianca del groppone, per poi sollevare e allargare la coda in modo da far brillare le piccole macchie bianche delle rettrici. Gli sparvieri minori sono per lo più sedentari, ma sono stati osservati casi di nomadismo nelle zone più secche del Kenya durante le piogge.
Alimentazione
Gli sparvieri minori cacciano principalmente piccoli uccelli: i più grandi tra questi pesano tra i 40 e gli 80 g, dimensioni abbastanza considerevoli per un predatore così minuto. Anche i grossi insetti sono molto apprezzati. Occasionalmente, catturano giovani nidiacei, piccoli mammiferi (compresi i pipistrelli) e lucertole. Nel periodo di poco successivo all'involo, i giovani si concentrano principalmente su cavallette e altri insetti. Gli sparvieri minori cacciano alla posta a partire da un posatoio che è spesso più o meno nascosto nella chioma degli alberi. A volte catturano la preda sul terreno, ma il più delle volte si lanciano in aria per afferrare un uccello o un insetto. Se necessario, fanno prova di grande agilità e sono in grado di inseguire le loro prede anche nel fitto della foresta. Gli sparvieri minori cacciano al mattino presto e piuttosto tardi la sera.
Riproduzione
La stagione di nidificazione ha luogo da marzo a giugno in Etiopia, da marzo a maggio e da ottobre a gennaio in Kenya, mentre va da agosto a dicembre in Zambia e da settembre a febbraio in Sudafrica. Il nido è costituito da una piccola struttura, a volte piuttosto fragile, costruita con pezzi di legno, che misura 18-30 centimetri di diametro e 10–15 cm di profondità. È ricoperto all'interno con ramoscelli sottili e qualche foglia verde. È situato tra 5 e 25 metri al di sopra del terreno, generalmente su una biforcazione principale appena sotto la volta. Per la sua costruzione può essere scelto qualsiasi albero, a condizione che sia di grandi dimensioni. Tuttavia, in Sudafrica, gli sparvieri minori scelgono spesso degli eucalipti. La covata varia da 1 a 3 uova che vengono covate per 31 o 32 giorni. I giovani sparvieri lasciano il nido nel giro di 25-27 giorni.
Distribuzione e habitat
Gli sparvieri minori frequentano i margini delle foreste, le aree boschive aperte, le savane alberate, le alte boscaglie spinose e i mosaici di foresta e savana. Si trovano spesso in prossimità dell'acqua, nelle boscaglie basse accompagnate da alberi più grandi che contornano i fiumi. Apprezzano le gole e le valli incassate dove non crescono piante di alto fusto. Occupano persino i giardini e gli alberi dei villaggi. Si sono adattati perfettamente ai boschetti di eucalipto e ad altre piantagioni, prediligendoli per nidificare perfino ad altri habitat. Gli sparvieri minori vivono dal livello del mare fino a 1800 m di altitudine.
Sebbene questa specie possa essere osservata anche in Etiopia, in Somalia, nel Sudan del Sud e in Kenya, lo sparviero risiede principalmente a sud dell'Equatore. Il suo areale ricopre infatti una zona che va dalla Tanzania, dal sud della Repubblica Democratica del Congo e dall'Angola fino alla Namibia, al Botswana e al sud del Mozambico. Da qui prosegue poi lungo la costa orientale del Sudafrica fino al capo di Buona Speranza.
Tassonomia
Sono ufficialmente riconosciute due sottospecie:
A. m. tropicalis (), diffusa dalla Somalia meridionale e dalle regioni costiere del Kenya fino al Mozambico orientale;
A. m. minullus (), diffusa dall'estremità orientale del Sudan, dall'Eritrea e dalla Somalia fino all'Angola, alla Namibia settentrionale, al Botswana settentrionale, alle regioni orientali e meridionali del Sudafrica e al Mozambico sud-occidentale, non spingendosi mai lungo la costa orientale del continente.
Conservazione
In Africa orientale, la densità viene stimata in 1 coppia ogni 58-135 chilometri quadrati. Nel Transvaal, la popolazione è valutata a più di 1000 coppie. Stando così le cose, la popolazione complessiva dovrebbe essere superiore ai 50.000 individui. Questa specie è molto adattabile e non rischia di scomparire, a patto che riesca a trovare alcuni brandelli di foresta..

1.2 Click Here to Get Your Broken Oneplus 3 Screen Fixed Today!
A perfectly bad day for OnePlus 3 owners as the update that is supposed to solve software issues for the 6Gb monster spawned new problems.
OnePlus 3 users are in for another bad day now. Right after the update to OxygenOS 3.2.0 was rolled out to solve a lot of the software issues that plagued the new 6Gb monster in turn made new ones of its own.
Previously reported ones, as well as display color calibration and RAM management qualms, were supposed to become a thing of the past with the rollout of a "high quality" OxygenOS 3.2.0 update.
Unfortunately, this may have been rushed out the door, and instead of fixing everything, it gave birth to mysterious new "issues" that prompted an immediate stop to the upgrading process. No words on how long will the "temporary" interruption last, but OnePlus vows to "start back up as soon as possible", once it finishes investigating the problems' cause and, of course, after devising yet another patch.
The community can help submitting bug reports to help solve these issues and may result in a new update to banish all future software bugs.

BkiUbYPxaL3SufhMnUGK | Malaysian PM backs Indonesia's new capital, pledges investment

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said his country supports investment in Indonesia's new capital in East Kalimantan because it would spur growth in the Malaysian Bornean states of Sabah and Sarawak.
Anwar was speaking during his first state visit to Indonesia as PM, during which at least 10 Malaysian companies expressed commitments to investing in their neighbor's new capital, which has been struggling to attract investments.
"[I] hope that the growth of the national capital Nusantara will also benefit Sarawak and Sabah, more than what I can do for [them]," Anwar said after talks with Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo at the Bogor presidential palace.
"Its proximity and economic interests are significant. My colleagues in Sarawak and Sabah applaud this initiative," said Anwar, who was on his first overseas trip since being sworn in as prime minister in November.
A new law passed in January 2022 named the new Indonesian capital "Nusantara," which broadly means "archipelago."
Anwar said potential investment pledged by Malaysian companies in Nusantara was valued at 1.66 billion ringgit (U.S. $379 million).
In addition, businesses from the two countries signed memoranda of understanding on cooperation in the fields of shipping, green industry financing and development of batteries for electric vehicles.
Jokowi said Malaysian businesses were looking at investments in sectors including electronics, health, waste management, construction and property.
"I warmly welcome the interest of investors in the construction of the new national capital Nusantara," Jokowi said.
In August 2019, Jokowi announced that the country would move the capital from crowded and partially sinking Jakarta, on Java Island, to East Kalimantan, a densely forested and thinly populated province in the Indonesian part of Borneo.
The government has struggled to attract investment for its construction since Japanese tech conglomerate Softbank last year withdrew its plans to invest.
In December, Investment Minister Bahlil Lahadalia said Softbank withdrew because the Indonesian government deemed its proposal was unfair.
"The proposal submitted [by Softbank], in our opinion, only benefits them, not the state. And we don't want to be dictated to," Bahlil told state news agency Antara.
Nevertheless, the government says it has started constructing roads, bridges and drainage at the new capital's site.
Covering 256,142 hectares (632,940 acres), the capital's cost is estimated by the government to be U.S. $32.5 billion, 53 percent of which will be covered by the country's budget.
The National Development Planning Agency projected that by 2045, Nusantara would have a population of 1.9 million – about 10 times the area's current number. North Penajam Paser, the regency where the future seat of government will be constructed, is home to about 180,000 people.
The population of East Kalimantan is expected to grow to 11 million, from 3.7 million today, according to the agency.
But environmentalists have warned that clearing a forest and turning it into the national capital could potentially be an ecological disaster.
ASEAN 'central' to Indo-Pacific peace
Indonesia and Malaysia also agreed Monday that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations must play a central role in ensuring peace in the Indo-Pacific, Jokowi said, amid rising U.S.-China tensions in the region.
After talks with Anwar, Jokowi said the two countries agreed to strengthen ASEAN to ensure stability in what has become the geopolitical theater for Sino-U.S. rivalry. Indonesia will chair the 10-nation regional bloc in 2023.
"ASEAN must be able to play a central role in creating a peaceful and stable Indo-Pacific," Jokowi said.
The two leaders also urged the Myanmar junta to implement ASEAN's so-called five-point consensus aimed at restoring peace and democracy in the country after the military toppled a civilian government in February 2021.
The Myanmar junta "agreed to" the consensus with ASEAN in April 2021, but has reneged on the agreement.
That country has since descended into a bloody civil conflict, with many analysts saying the violence only increased in the second half of 2022. More than 2,700 people have been killed and more than 17,000 have been arrested in Myanmar, according to the Thailand-based Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
Jokowi also said Malaysia was committed to providing protection for Indonesian migrant workers and the rights of their children.
In other action, Indonesia and Malaysia agreed to jointly fight what Jokowi called "discrimination" against palm oil through the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC). The two countries are the biggest producers of the commodity.
The European Commission has approved a measure to phase out palm oil-based biofuel by 2030, amid accusations it is linked to deforestation, angering palm oil producers such as the two Southeast Asian nations.
Welcome progress
Teuku Rezasyah, international relations lecturer at Padjadjaran University in Bandung, said Malaysia's interest in investing in the new capital marked welcome progress at a time when Indonesia was seeking to attract foreign money.
With Malaysia under Anwar's leadership, relations between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur are expected to become even closer, given his affinity to Indonesia when he was young, Teuku said.
"Indonesia for him is a reference for development," he said.
Azmi Hassan, a senior fellow at the Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research, called Anwar's visit to Indonesia "special" because "the plight of the Muslim world is close to his heart."
"Anwar has been very active in communicating with Indonesian leaders and has great relationships with the top leaders of the country and its religious leaders as well," he said
"I guess Malaysia and Indonesia can play a critical role in discussing and finding solutions to issues which include the Rohingya, the Uyghur in Xinjiang, Palestine, the Middle East and the Kashmir region," he said.
Iman Muttaqin Yusof in Kuala Lumpur contributed to the report.

Jean Alexandre Buchon Biography
Jean Alexandre Buchon (1791-1849) was a French scholar and historian. Born as the French Revolution raged, Buchon was dedicated to recovering France's history in order to help the country heal and grow. He gathered French stories and published them as part of Collection des chroniques nationales franciases ecrites en langue vulgaire, du XIe au XVIe siècle (4 vols, 1824-1829). He also compiled and published an exploration collection and several histories, particularly about medieval France.
For geography, his most important contribution was publication of the French edition of Carey & Lea's American Atlas in 1825. Each page of the atlas includes highly detailed text about the state or territory depicted, as well as a map of the area. The French edition is generally considered in high regard as compared to other editions, as it has quality paper and superior engraving.

BkiUdro5qsJBjnJ8-Wdu | Google's DeepMind AI VS. the Go World Champion
Cyrus March 11, 2016 Gaming, YouTube Video
It's over 2500 years old and the rules are deceptively simple, but Go is an incredibly complex game. The rules are simpler than those of chess, but a player typically has a much more vast choice of moves. The game is played with white and black stones and the aim is to capture territory as well as your opponent's pieces. Stones can be captured by surrounding them but the control of the board is a much more complicated matter which is why a true competitive AI has been rather difficult to create. In a landmark victory against the European champion in October it was proven that the efforts of the DeepMind team and subsequently Google's efforts on the AlphaGo project had found success in what had been thought impossible since the early years of computing.
By first studying the patterns repeated in various games, AlphaGo will play different versions of itself millions of times during a single match and learn incrementally. Learning from its mistakes is what makes the AI truly remarkable and what led its developers to take their months of improvements since beating the European champion, to the next level. As of today, AlphaGo has secured its second win against world champion Go master Lee Sedol in a 5-game match worth 1 million US dollars. The games are being played with a 2 hour set time limit for each player followed by three 60 second overtime periods as well as the standard Chinese ruleset.
The magnitude of this achievement opens many doors to advanced functionality of artificial intelligence. The emerging truth is machines can learn real world tasks in much the same way they learn to make moves in a game. This opens new paths of scientific research while augmenting existing industries where machines can learn to identify promising areas of research and help humans in the right direction. Whether it's fields with a sheer overload of data needing to be sifted through such as biology or security, or more subjective fields such as arts and language. As stated many times in AlphaGo's 7 matches thus far, regardless of which player wins, it is a victory for humanity.
Game 3 between Lee Sedol and AlphaGo is set to take place tonight, March 11th, at 8:00 PST Watch Here

PS Jailbreak Sales Solution Held Up In Red Tape
Rich Gates August 27, 2010 Gaming, USB Hacks, USB News, Video
Over the past several weeks we've read reports about the PS3 Jail breaking solution via USB whereby the jailbreak tricks the console into thinking it's in debug mode and thus gives you access to the device like never before. The PS3 jailbreak would allow the use of illegal games as well as homebrew games to be played on the console. In addition, the hack also blocked mandatory updates from Sony which could overwrite the hack and secure the device once again. Jail breaking like this is nothing new, in fact we've heard about it with the iPhone for [literally] years. However, with the PS3 it was a bit different. It was different because the PS3 has been a platform which has remained unbroken or un-hacked [if that's a word] for nearly a decade. That is a feat no other gaming company has Continue Reading
USB Finger Skateboard Makes Any Parent Smile
Rich Gates September 18, 2008 Gaming, USB News
Interactive motion control games are definitely at the top of most kid's lists. The Wii was so popular we've got blogs about it, and last Christmas it was THE gift to give. This year, another motion control game piece might be the hot ticket. Actiga is announcing a full line of mini-motion controllers for gaming this fall. Below is a picture of those hard-to-get finger skateboards, mounted on a pivot ball and connects via USB.
USB controllers will be available for both Mac and PC systems in versions that look like realistic skateboards, RC Cars, baseball, and a futuristic racing vehicle. Each of the controllers will connect via USB and will sell for $19.99. It's not clear if the controller has games built-in like the plug-and-play devices for TV or if they are simply controllers to be used with other PC games already on the market.

Bridge Rock Band and Guitar Hero With USB Adapter
Rich Gates April 29, 2008 Gaming
If you've got Guitar Hero and recently acquired Rock Band from say…Christmas then you've probably wanted to bridge the two together for a complete bi-gaming experience. Since Activision and Harmonix will never come to minds on hardware connectivity and interface you'll have to resort to the Ant Commandos converter to make the two play nice.
The converter has a USB connector on one end and PS2 connector on the other. Simply plug the converter into PS3, connect the PS2 controller, and set the switch to either Guitar Hero, Rock Band or Gamepad and you are ready to go. TAC's Universal PS2-to-PS3 Converter is compatible with PS3 Rock Band and PS2 / PS3 GHIII, and it works with basically every PS2 axe you can think of, wired and wireless.

Rich Gates April 18, 2008 Flash Storage, Gaming
Iomega is shifting it's focus to the consumers with more disposable income, the gamers. Well at least in theory. The Iomega Media Xporter is a portable 160GB hard drive designed to seamlessly integrate with cross-platform applications to PlayStation 3 consoles and Xbox 360 console.
With the gaming console become more of a home entertainment center, it's Iomega's goal to provide the tools to enjoy photo's, video, music and games without hassle. The Media Xporter allows users to experience all the above without a PC. Once more, the photo's and video will look stunning on a hi-def TV since the PlayStation and Xbox support HDMI as well as HDTV connectivity. I don't know about you, but a family function or get together would be a lot more fun sharing photo's on a sweet flat screen then huttled up over a computer monitor. The Media Xporter makes this a simple and easy process. The 160GB Iomega Media Xporter drive is power via USB 2.0 and will retail for $120. Although I do have some concerns about a bus powered USB hard drive. Source: Coolest-Gadgets. Media Xporter product page. Continue Reading | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfr85qhLB0iFHByos | The world is going mobile and whether you're selling real estate or pizza, you need to consider mobile marketing when promoting your business. As the price of smart phones continues to drop, more and more users are accessing the Internet via their phones and they are doing more and more on these devices.
Currently, more than half of all Facebook updates are done on mobile devices not computers. Starbucks announced last week that they will begin accepting payment via smart phones. Asia and India have been paying for goods and services on their cell phones for some time now.
Another new hot mobile technology is QR codes. Those are the funny looking square bar codes that you see more and more of in ads and displays. Using a free mobile app QR reader, you can scan a QR code from your cellphone and receive a wealth of information downloaded to your device. Scanning a QR code from a business card may automatically update your phone's contacts. Or scan the QR code at your local pizzaria and download their entire menu to your phone. Or scan my QR code to the left of this posting and automatically be sent to a marketing video of one of my premier wholesale properties.

BkiUeHHxK0iCl36cXr6O | Proprioception is the medical term that describes the ability to sense the orientation of your body in your environment. It allows you to move quickly and freely without having to consciously think about where you are in space or in your environment. Proprioception is a constant feedback loop within your nervous system, telling your brain what position you are in and what forces are acting upon your body at any given point in time.
The way that we can tell that an arm is raised above our head, even when our eyes are closed, is an example of proprioception. Other examples may include your ability to sense the surface you are standing upon, even when you are not looking at the surface. If you are walking along the sidewalk, and then turn to walk upon a grassy surface, your body knows how to adjust to the change in surface because of proprioception.
Proprioception comes from sensory nerve endings that provide our brain with the information of the limb position. There are specialized nerves in your muscles and joints that communicate with your brain and tell it what position your joint is in and how much stretch or strain in on the muscles surrounding a joint. The nerves surround each muscle bundle, creating a system of communication with your brain about what is happening to the muscles and joints of your body.
What Happens When Prorpioception Is Impaired?
If you have poor proprioception after an injury or surgery, you may not even notice. But sometimes, impaired proprioception results in difficulty with basic functional mobility. When walking on unsteady surfaces, you may feel like you are about to lose your balance. If your proprioception is really off, you may even fall.
Upper extremity injuries may also result in loss of proprioception. You may have difficulty reaching properly, and you may have problems with fine motor tasks that require precision of movement.
Progression of proprioception exercises can be done my altering the surface you are standing upon. Try standing on a pillow or piece of foam. Standing with your eyes closed, thus eliminating your visual system, can also challenge your proprioception.
When you visit a physical therapist, he or she may assess your balance and proprioception and prescribe exercises to help improve your proprioception. These exercises may challenge your balance, creating situations where you feel unsteady. This unsteadiness is necessary; it helps to improve your balance and proprioception.
Understanding how proprioception affects your balance and your ability to navigate through your environment may be a key component to your successful rehabilitation after an injury.
Proprioception is a complex series of muscle and nerve communications that tell your brain where your body is in space. If you have been injured, your proprioception system may become impaired, leading to altered ability to function properly. Working with your PT can help improve your proprioception and your overall functional mobility.

BkiUbNw5qoYDgXBRprjc | After our visit in Mobile, Alabama, we packed up and headed to New Orleans! And guess who we saw there!!
We had a great visit over Cruze Farm's Coffee Milk, Ginger Molasses Cookies and Red Velvet Cake. We always enjoy our time with them. We only had one day together but I'm so glad we are both headed west and have plans to keep meeting up along the way!
New Orleans was probably one of my least favorite stops so far. I don't know how else to describe it other than I just felt like a really dark place. I didn't feel safe in the city walking around with the kids, the people we ran into at shops weren't very friendly and just had a negative vibe the whole time we were there.
We camped out at Bayou Segnette State Park based on a recommendation from Ditching Suburbia! Thanks Mike and Crissa! Free laundry sounded too good to be true, but it was! However, with the laundry room being free, we found it very difficult to time it to where we could actually get any loads done. Everyone had the same idea and beat me to the laundry room every day! We only were able to wash half of what we needed to there but we did appreciate the free washers and dryers there.
The park itself was actually pretty cool. So foggy in the morning.
Mosquitos were a bit annoying since we're right on the bayou, but that's to be expected. I just wish we could have figured out how they were making their way inside our home when all the windows were closed... Oh, well.
There were a few trails that we went on and we rode bikes around a bit.
It was a great park and we would go back as long as it was in the winter due to the ants and mosquitos.
We were able to meet a new family! One night we came home to a note stuck in our door along the lines of, "Are you the Bareneckers? We would love to meet up before we leave tomorrow!" We texted them and invited them over before they headed out the next morning. It was so good to meet the Wach family. They follow our blog and are traveling the US for 6 months in their 5th wheel along with their 3 kids! Such a sweet family, but we are headed in opposite directions. They're on their way to Florida and we're on our way to Oregon! We hope they love the RV life so much that they continue to travel and we can meet up again. If not, we'll stop by their home in Colorado one day!
We made our way to check out the beignets from Cafe Du Monde. We have heard such good things about this place we were anxious to see what the buzz was all about.
Maybe it was because we got them to go but I just wasn't super impressed. Perhaps we killed the vibe by not sitting down in the cafe area (not that we could have found a spot, they were packed!). Either way, that was the only beignets we got while we were in NOLA. Kids seemed to enjoy them though.
We did get to spend a day touring the Audubon Zoo and Insectarium. Man, that was fun! The zoo was huge. I don't think we got to see it all. I had no idea that you could easily spend and entire day there. So much to see and the kids loved it. We got to see an armidillo!
Our kids have been wanting to see one in person, alive, for so long. Another item checked off the list!
We always make it a point to visit the rhinos because they are my FAVORITE animal at the zoo. I dont' know why, I just love rhinos and turns out...we have quite a bit in common!
We don't tour zoos often, but I had heard that this was a great one so we made an exception to the rule (seen one zoo you've seen them all) and we were glad we took the time to take the kids there. And look! Press penny machine!!
We went to lunch at a near by pizza joint, Reginelli's Pizzeria and goodness, that was a good choice! Though parking was difficult with our dually, we perservered for the sake of slices of meat topped heaven. We got their spinach dip with garlic bread and it was on point!
We ordered a cheese pizza for the kids and we got a pizza that was half Gumbo and half Smokin' Chicken!
They were delicious. Highly recommend you stop there for lunch if you're in the area.
I wish we would have split our time between the zoo and the Insectarium better. We got to the Insectarium so late that we only had 1 hour to get through it. It was really cool. Lots of displays and live animals to watch. We just didn't have enough time to do it all. At the end of the Insectarium, they have a butterfly garden and this guy did not want to get off of Jax's shirt.
We could have spent the day at the Audubon Zoo and one day at the Insectarium, but driving our dually truck in the city of NOLA wasn't fun...at all.
We had no idea that NOLA was such a huge and crowded city. Luckily we have friends who live there part of the year and we were able to meet them for lunch and enjoy some time at the park together. Becky and Chris Long and their two girls are such great people. We love meeting up with them. If you love art, you have to check out Chris' stuff. He's an amazing painter and sculptor. Check out his IG account, @long_painter.
We love that we are making friends from different states and we always have someone to meet up with.
After meeting up with our friends, we ventured to the National WWII Museum.
We were on the fence about going since the kids haven't studied much about it and I (embarrassingly) do not know much of anything about the war. It was a huge museum.
So many different buildings and interactive stations to listen to stories from veterans.
We were seriously impressed with the whole museum. The exhibits were beautiful and immersive with tons of info. I hope we can go back once the kids have studied more about the war.
I think when they are older they will be able to get much more out of it.
And since I'll be the one reading the books to them about it, hopefully I will appreciate it even more the next time we go.
The day we went to get beignets, we took the ferry and then decided not to do it again.
Though it was a pretty ride, by the time you parked for $5 and spend $2 a person, it gets expensive with 6 people. And if you don't time it just right it's faster to just drive.
I wish I could say that I enjoyed NOLA, but that would be a lie. I was so ready to get out of there. Texas, here we come! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Wild coach Bruce Boudreau is getting kind of tired of this whole fatigue conversation. Nonetheless, after a 3-1 loss to Philadelphia Thursday, and with back-to-back matinee games scheduled for the weekend, he had the players sit for an extended video session, followed by a (very) optional skate.
After Thursday's loss Boudreau said his team looked like it lacked energy, something that was up to the players to find within themselves. Friday he kind of doubled down on that thought.
"I mean coaches can yell, they can cajole, they can pat on the back, they can kick in the butt. But, in the end, we don't go out there and skate.''
And the whole idea of the team being tired? "Look, we have two forwards playing-plus minutes a game. And a forward that plays 17 minutes a game. If we're tired then we're not the athletes I think they are. We're not in the condition I think we should be.''
The object of the film session was to look both at what went wrong Thursday and to see what goes right when the Wild plays a strong game. So Boudreau made them watch the disappointing loss to the Flyers. But he also showed them a game from December, when the Wild was playing so well. "We looked at what we did, and how we were success at that point in time,'' Boudreau said. "And, hopefully, it will transfer into tomorrow's game.''
Meanwhile, with Gustav Oloffson sent back down to Iowa, Christian Folin appears ready to return to the lineup. He has been out since sustaining an arm injury March 5.
"It will be great to get back out there,'' said Folin, one of only a handful of players on the ice today. "I've put in a lot of work every day since I got hurt. It's been a tough almost three weeks now. But I'm ready to get out there.''
Said Boudreau: "He's a big defenseman that can play physical when he's on top of his game. We certainly could use that.''
The former Topeka, Kan., prep standout returned to his home state.

BkiUeE3xK3YB9m3uwvU0 | Reed diffuser has become a hot trend in home fragrance nowadays. These diffusers work by inserting rattan reeds into a glass bottle that contains scented diffuser oil. If you are keen on getting one for your home, then getting adequate knowledge about it would help you make the right decision.
How does reed diffusers differ from candles?
In place of candles, reed diffusers are free of flame and do not need heat. They diffuse scent in the atmosphere naturally. No flame implies no soot and no risk of fire. Using reed diffuser is highly safe for home, classroom, or office, etc.
If you are looking for a luxury scented candle, then Wiff is the best place to visit. Their complete range of diffusers and luxury candles are made to wow your senses with distinctive scents and carry you to a different and better place.
Are reeds rattan or bamboo?
The reeds of a reed diffuser are made from superior quality rattan reeds. These reeds are not made of bamboo. However, chutes or bamboo reeds won't work as they don't have the right conduits for the oils to travel up via wick. Bamboo has "nodes" that stops from traveling up and making the air fragrant.
What is the lifespan of reed diffuser?
There are several factors that determine how long the oil will last. Humidity, fans, air conditioning, closed doors, heating, dehumidifiers, open doors etc. However, normally a four oz. of diffuser oil lasts for nearly three to four months and an eight oz. diffuser oil lasts for nearly six to eight months.
Can reed diffuser be diluted with water and oil?
No. Water and oil don't mix with each other. You will end up with non-uniform wicking and warped reeds. The reed diffuser oils are blended to provide easy wicking. There is no requirement to dilute them or mix them with anything.
What needs to be done when the scent stops to diffuse?
You need to flip the reeds in the glass bottle so that its "wet" ends are exposed to the air. If the reeds have stopped diffusing due to being blocked with dust, then you need to replace them with new ones.
How many reeds need to be put in a bottle?
It depends on the choice of the user. More reeds will diffuse more amount of fragrance. It needs to put anywhere between six and ten reeds in a glass bottle.
Learning about reeds and the right method to use them will help you get maximum benefits out of it. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
