global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5534 | Spring Bean Autowire byType
Practically bean dependencies are explicitly set in bean configuration files and it is really is a good practice to follow. But Spring is capable of automatically resolving dependencies at runtime. This automatic resolution of bean dependencies is also called autowiring. This type of bean dependencies can also be referred to as collaborating beans or just as collaborators.
There are 5 different types of autowiring modes which are ‘no’, ‘byName’, ‘byType’, ‘constructor’, and ‘autodetect’. In this post, I am taking down ‘byType‘ mode.
Autowiring by type allows a property to be autowired if there is exactly one bean of the property type in the container. If there is more than one, a fatal exception is thrown, and this indicates that you may not use byType autowiring for that bean. If there are no matching beans, nothing happens; the property is not set. If this is not desirable, setting the dependency-check=”objects” attribute value specifies that an error should be thrown in this case.
Sections in this post:
Enable annotations support
Autowire dependency using @Autowired
Test the dependency
Enable annotations support
We must first enable the annotation configuration support in application because we will be using @Autowired annotation to plug-in the dependency. Annotations are enabled with following tag in bean configuration file.
A typical bean configuration file (e.g. applicationContext.xml) will look like this:
<context:annotation-config />
<bean id="employee" class="com.howtodoinjava.autowire.byType.EmployeeBean" autowire="byType">
<property name="fullName" value="Lokesh Gupta"/>
<bean id="department" class="com.howtodoinjava.autowire.byType.DepartmentBean" >
<property name="name" value="Human Resource" />
Autowire dependency using @Autowired
In above configuration, I have enabled the autowiring by type for ’employee’ bean. It has been done using:
Now in EmployeeBean.java, we have to use @Autowired annotation like this:
package com.howtodoinjava.autowire.byType;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
public class EmployeeBean
private DepartmentBean departmentBean;
private String fullName;
public DepartmentBean getDepartmentBean() {
return departmentBean;
public void setDepartmentBean(DepartmentBean departmentBean) {
this.departmentBean = departmentBean;
public String getFullName() {
return fullName;
public void setFullName(String fullName) {
this.fullName = fullName;
And DepartmentBean looks like this which has been set:
package com.howtodoinjava.autowire.byType;
public class DepartmentBean{
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
Test the dependency
To test that bean has been set properly, run following code:
package com.howtodoinjava.autowire.byType;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class TestAutowire {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context =
new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"com/howtodoinjava/autowire/byType/application-context.xml"});
EmployeeBean employee = (EmployeeBean)context.getBean("employee");
Lokesh Gupta
Human Resource
Clearly, dependency was injected by type successfully.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5536 | Amy Poehler And Nick Offerman Speak For The ‘Parks And Rec’ Cast: A Reunion Could Happen
Parks and Recreation is one of the most beloved TV comedies of the last decade. Second, perhaps, only to The Office. And now with Roseanne, Murphy Brown, Will and Grace, and potentially the workers of Dunder-Mifflin coming back, it seems like an appropriate time to talk about a reunion in Pawnee, Indiana. At the very least, with Ellen DeGeneres.
Parks and Rec stars Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman joined Ellen to discuss their new craft show Making It, and TV’s climate for reunions and Poehler just came out and said it: “I’ll speak for everybody and say we would all do it. I think we’d all do it someday. It’d be amazing.”
Unfortunately (maybe?), it seems like a reunion might just be wishful thinking because the cast coming back is predicated on one thing: A specific celebrity playing the mayor. Offerman says it’s Beyoncé. Beyoncé has to be the mayor in order for the show to come back. Or Oprah.
That’s possibly a joke, but the rest of the cast has made it clear that they loved working on the show and would be happy to spend more time in Pawnee with their weird co-workers. The only question is: How would they pull it off? Do they really need to have a reunion, considering Leslie Knope is possibly moving her way up the D.C. ladder, nearing the presidency?
That actually sounds like something worth watching.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5552 | A History of Poker
Poker Articles
William Reynolds, grandson of William Westmoreland Reynolds, helped design poker tournaments. He didn’t invent poker but he certainly helped the game to catch on. William was a tireless promoter of the game and is credited with pioneering the birth of two different poker games – Texas Hold’em and Omaha.
Poker became the rage at Williams Island during the turn of the century. William was very well known for using free cards to indicate whether he should raise or fold, something many players today may also do. Because of this, William’s unique style attracted many players to poker games. Some of the legends of poker include Charley Corbett, Bill Weir, Bill Potter, David Norton, and Terry McBride.
Charley Corbett, the inspiration for Jack Nicklaus’ career, was an early-morning poker player. He learned to play after losing a bet in a board game he was playing with friends. Because of his bad luck, he decided to join the poker club and brought along a pack of brand new poker cards to Williams Island.
David Norton was another pioneer at Williams Island who played in Charley Corbett’s poker game. He was a rare combination of being a master poker player and being a smart customer. He frequently offered to split a stake in an upcoming game with a fellow member. When he folded during a game, a wise player would make a bet against him.
On one of his trips to Brooklyn, Terry McBride entered the Brooks Resort for a night of gambling. While there, he decided to meet up with his friend Charley Corbett. Soon they both joined the Williams Island poker game, so named because it was co-ed.
They joined a larger group of men, both women and children who shared their poker games. They formed a strong bond and soon became tight friends. As the games wore on, they kept getting together for a better game, and by the end of the night, they had become the neighborhood regulars.
Today’s world has brought a new form of poker tournaments. Players can compete online, sometimes for prizes, and sometimes for fun. Some players enjoy making money betting on games they like and others enjoy watching other players lose.
In the past, the best players of the game were usually those who showed up and were part of a good table atmosphere. Today, however, more women are coming into the game, and they want to participate. Many localities are realizing the need for a tournament for both men and women.
Those who are part of the Women’s Round Table Tournament play a relatively easy game. It’s similar to Texas Hold’em, except that the cards are dealt according to the same size card table used in the normal tournament. Since the cards are smaller, there are fewer cards, but the game is similar. The two players sit opposite each other at the table and the players take turns calling or folding.
Two-Player Games. This game is played with three or four standard poker cards and players are seated across from each other at a small table. There is a set of seven cards called the pot, and a table is set up behind the dealer. Each player, starting with the player to the left of the dealer, places three cards face down in the pot, and the dealer takes three cards from the pot.
Two-Hand Tournaments. One set of four cards is dealt and all four are then set face down. The cards are dealt in pairs. Each player takes a turn dealing, and as they do, the two sets of four cards are dealt one at a time.
Once all four are dealt, each player plays a pair and keeps the first card. Once a pair is dealt, the dealer turns over the other four and the players deal one pair at a time. Once all of the four cards have been dealt, the dealer turns over all of the remaining cards and the cards are dealt again. |

Share on facebook

While working with a large financial organisation in London last week, someone brought my attention to how RunVirtual is giving them some interesting side effects they didn’t quite expect when running other local tasks or applications. I wasn’t too surprised by what they were seeing but thought it would be a good idea to share it with you all so we are on the same page.
The Symptom
You deploy RunVirtual for a local process such as Internet Explorer:
You later find that anything else running a programmatic COM call locally to that same process fails with an error relating to ResourceUnavailable: (:) [New-Object], COMException:
The Cause
So you might be thinking why is RunVirtual affecting local applications or tasks as above? Well it is by the very nature of how RunVirtual works. As soon as we create a RunVirtual key for Internet Explorer in this case, we are listening out for iexplore.exe in all shapes and forms. This isn’t just limited user based actions that involve double clicking an Internet Explorer shortcut but also encompasses programmatic calls that may force us to load the process, in this case iexplore.exe. Infact as we run the command we see iexplore.exe is called into action:
As soon as iexplore.exe is loaded RunVirtual jumps in and makes sure it is running within the virtual environment specified in the registry value. Now in this case we are interfacing via COM and anyone who has worked with App-V for a while will know COM is a key integration that we restrict by default, this isolation causes something that appears simple and local to fail due to RunVirtual being provisioned.
The Solution
De-isolate COM. By taking our target package (in this case an IE plugin) back to the Sequencer and ticking the box that specifies “Allow all COM objects to interact with the local system”
This sets COM to be integrated with the local operating system and hence places no restriction on local processes that call other local processes that end up inside this virtual environment. You can of course use the Deployment_Config.xml to manipulate this setting and my good friend David Falkus breaks this down on his post here.
In summary be aware that when you utilise RunVirtual you have potential to affect the way other elements interface with your target local process. In terms of COM, could it be worth putting into sequencing standards that COM should be integrated for packages that will be involved in a RunVirtual key? Potentially, at least for things like Internet Explorer, it really comes down to the complexity of your environment but is definitely something to consider.

1. Further to this, you need to specify a common COM setting anyway if you want to use RV with more than one app-v plugin, as you need to be able to maintain a connection group which contains all the app-v addins, which is only possible if COM settings are shared across all those packages.
2. Hi Thamim,
I have small query regarding run virtual key.I have two excel addins virtualized,and added excel.exe under the runvirtual key.The default value (appguid_versionguid) under the excel.exe is pointing to one application that is working fine.If i add one more value under the excel.exe to point other app,addin is not getting loaded into excel.Only the default value is getting loaded always.
Could you please suggest how to use the same runvirtual key for multiple applications.
Dinesh D
• Hi Dinesh,
What you are seeing is expected. RunVirtual only supports a single application reference within the default key. The work around for this is to put the various applications into a connection group and then refer to one of them in the default key, this will in turn load all apps within the connection group.
3. Hi Thamim,
As you said, if we go with the connection group, we are enabling the interaction with other app-v packages (addin’s) where it really does not require it. It looks like every addin is having a control on other addin’s and also we may expect the conflicts among them. May be it would lead to security or license issues as well.
Please suggest on this.
4. Hi Thamim,
I have one more scenario here. I am having one excel addin installed on physical machine but when I use the RunVirtual for the same excel application and the moment I open the excel , it always showing me the virtual addin’s. It looks like my excel application is always loading in virtual environment and it lost the connection with the local addin’s.
Please could you suggest me how do I overcome this behavior if I want to use RunVirtual concept.
5. Hi Thamim,
Hope you are well? We are facing an issue similar to what has been mentioned here. We used alkaneSolutions – Kae Travis , method by creating a dummy Office Suite package (http://www.alkanesolutions.co.uk/2016/05/25/using-runvirtual-present-excel-addins/#comment-10317). We only checked Allow virtual applications full write permissions to the virtual file system and this has worked however now we have come across an application (Morningstar) that requires Allow all COM objects to interact with the local system and we are now stuck. Can you see anyway round this?
Kind regards

Students may enter the Ph.D. program after successfully completing an M.S. degree program, at the University of Delaware or elsewhere, or may be admitted directly to the Ph.D. program directly after a Bachelors degree. To obtain a Ph.D., students will normally follow the course intensive regular track. Students entering the program with an M.S. degree in Physics or Astronomy that are particularly well prepared may choose to follow the less coursework intensive fast track.
In addition to fulfilling the course requirements, Ph.D. students must:
• pass the Candidacy Exam, which has written and oral components,
• upon successful completion of a research program, write a Ph.D. dissertation thesis showing originality of thought and scholarship.
The dissertation is defended in an oral examination administered by the student's dissertation committee.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5588 | The best practices to optimize the loading speed of the website.
The loading speed of the web page is a determining factor. In fact, the several elements that constitute the content of the web page are intended to be visible without exhausting the user time; the content of the delayed pages is likely to be dismissed and not discovered, which will have a negative impact on the website popularity. In order to optimize the loading speed of the website, there are a set of practices which help to achieve the best results. This can be done by engaging a freelance web designer Singapore. These are, indeed, in response to the W3C and the SEO principles.
The factors that impact the loading speed of the website:
There are several factors that impact the loading speed of the website. The included content has the most obvious effects, and the HTTP requests have the most hidden impacts. In fact, the nature and the quality of the content, notably images and media files, and the number of solicited scripts and external functions, solicited via HTTP requests, dramatically impact the time that needs the page to load.
The importance of the loading speed:
The loading speed helps to rate the website compliance. The website has to be made in a way to improve the UX. In other words, the website elements should work together to offer the users a good and comfortable browsing experience. The loading speed will, therefore, increase or decrease the website score and will affect its occurrence on the research pages.
Best practices to optimize the loading speed:
Actually, there are several ways to improve the loading speed of your website. Each method targets a particular parameter; The whole process targets the two previously cited factors.
Optimizing the content:
Optimizing the content is about making the content light and fair versus the bandwidth. In fact, this process requires the creation of files with the best resolution but that occupy a few bytes.
– Dismiss Gif and png, and use progressive jpeg: Gifs are sequences of frames, png features transparency.
– Reduce formatting: the use of common font types and the use of simple stylizing (reasonable italic, bold, underline…)
– The use of compressed files: this allows the files to be solicited quickly as they don’t require a large bandwidth.
Optimizing the HTTP requests:
HTTP requests designate the process of soliciting external resources to be included in order to properly display the web page. These are mainly external plugins, external styles files, and external script files.
The optimization process will require the gathering of all the needed scripts of the same type in one big file. This will reduce the requests in one request for each.
Besides, the requests are intended to load necessary resources, then:
– The use of CSS sprites: combining the images in one sprite sheet, then accessing them using the CSS properties which are the background image and the background position.
– Reducing the included material: reducing images and media is an alternative that allows reducing the loading time.
– Optimizing the codes in order to solicit only what the page needs to load properly.
Optimizing the loading speed of the website seems to be more complicated than it appears. The process requires an extended knowledge of several aspects that constitute the web design, the UX and web development. Optimizing the website is, therefore, harder than creating the website. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5604 | 2011 CURATEcamp Hackfest Ideas
From Code4Lib

Jump to: navigation, search
Allright Coders, Hackers, and Groupies! It's time to submit your ideas here (or by sending them directly to the address in the email you received). All proposals to be revealed at 9am February 7th at CURATEcamp Hackfest in the Frangipani room.
We also have a Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/code4lib2011-hackfest
Let's keep it FIFO - so the first idea added stays on top :)
Please include a title and description, eg:
10000 Monkeys Digital Solr Network (10kMDSN) - The idea here is to describe your idea in such a way to get as many monkeys to help out with your idea as possible. And a really cool acronym is (almost) mandatory. URLs are good as are git repos, google groups, etc.
Vufind WorldCat Terminologies Recommender Module Mod (VWT-RM2)
I don't know if this would appeal to other attendees, but, as a Solr/ VuFind enthusiast, one suggestion I have is to further develop Demian Katz's WorldCat Terminologies recommender module [1] . For example, find a way to filter out references to terms for which the local library has no associated items (and thereby avoid blind alleys) or even redirect users to an ILL request form.
[1] http://www.oclc.org/developer/videos/worldcat-identities-and-terminology-services-vufind
A/V Engine / or any GAE django-nonrel I (@tingletech) have been playing with django on google app engine, trying to put together something better than a spreadsheet for an A/V digitization and preservation project. It is based on PB Core. I could show people how to check out the code and get it running locally on app engine.
something with graph databases I (@tingletech) have been playing with loading the social graph from SNAC into a graph processing stack.
I'll have the SNAC data in a graphML file, which can be loaded into variety of graph databases and tools.
CDL Microservices and Ruby There is already existing work implementing the CDL microservices specs in Ruby. How can these pieces be pulled together? Which libraries may need some attention? Chris Beer's work implementing many of the CDL specs: [1] CDL's Orchard for Pairtree: [2] Other libraries?
Statistics Microservice Create a simple Statistics Microservice (perhaps several different statistical microservices) that will keep track of a variety of object-level statistical data such as audits, file types, usage, search terms, relationships, events, growth, etc. Should be able to be output as CSV (or pipe or whatev) so it can easily be imported into popular spreadsheet and database software for visualization and reporting.
Stats with Javascript Graphing Downloading and analyzing in Excel is good. But I'd also be interested in what we can do with Javascript graphing/visualization tools.
Hacking Pre-Ingest Assessment Tools (Solr/Ruby/Python) (@anarchivist) As part of my code4lib presentation I may demo some code that works with Digital Forensics XML and gets it into a Solr index. I've successfully thrown Blacklight on top of it, but want to extend it further, especially in terms of figuring what I can do with it and creating a straightforward UI that will represent directory hierarchies.
HAMR: Human/Authority Metadata Reconciliation A tool for a curator to determine whether the various fields of a metadata record are correct. Takes a metadata record, locates any identifiers (e.g., DOI, PMID). Retrieves a copy of the metadata record from an authoritative source (e.g., CrossRef, PubMed). Displays a human-readable page that compares fields in the initial record with fields in the authoritative record. Each field is color-coded based on how well it matches, so the curator can quickly identify discrepancies. |

Laser Flare
Type Emitter
Tech Level TL–8
Cost Cr35
Size 15cm
Weight 0.15kg
Also see Flare Gun
A Laser Flare is a light weight low-powered laser pointer designed for use as hand-held alert signal. The laser is powered by an internal, rechargeable battery, which lasts for 72 hours of continuous use before requiring a recharge. Unlike regular laser pointers, the flare laser uses a lens to spread the beam, making it easier to see the laser at a distance. The beam is visible to naked eye at ranges of up to 50 km under ideal conditions and 8 km in daylight. With the use of laser sensors, the laser flare is visible line of sight up to low orbit.
The device is sealed, making it operational in atmospheres from hard vacuum to 4 atmospheres, including most exotic or corrosive ones or under water. It has an operating temperature range of -250°C to +350°C.
At TL–10, the laser flare integrates a computer control system to automatically flash the laser, transmitting several standard emergency signals. The flare includes the ability to include short messages digitally encoded in the laser signal.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5617 | Let's be completely honest for a minute. If you're a parent, and your kids went trick-or-treating last night...odds are really good that after they fell asleep, you went through their stash of candy and picked out a few of your favorites.
Don't be ashamed if you did. I feel like every parent excises a bit of a Halloween candy "tax" on the kids. Heck, why not? At one point or another you held their hand and went door to door with them on Halloween, after a long day at work. Or you stood at your own door, handing out treats to other little ghosts and gobblins. So what's the big deal if you snag a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup or a bag of M & M's here and there?
You don't have to be sneaky about it. Lots of times my kids just gave me the candy...especially if they didn't like it. In my case though we always seemed to like the same stuff. Oh well...guess I trained them right.
Anyway, here's what some parents around New Hampshire and Maine snagged from their kids after all the trick-or-treating was over. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5628 | A solid-state drive is substantially faster than any normal hard-disk drive. This is because a hard-disk drive uses spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they become, at the same time an SDD works with modules of flash memory, so there aren't any actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes this kind of drives the best solution any time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for storing data that's accessed often on hosting servers. A large number of providers also use a combination of both drives, so they keep the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and as a consequence, the data loads faster while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks have to spin less frequently to read and write.
SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Website Hosting
The cloud platform where we make cloud website hosting accounts uses solely SSD drives, so your web apps and static sites will load very fast. The SSDs are used for files, email addresses and databases, so regardless if you load a page or check for new emails with webmail, the content will load right away. To offer even higher speeds, we also use a number of dedicated SSDs which function only as cache. All of the content which generates a lot of traffic is copied on them automatically and is afterwards read from them and not from the primary storage drives. Of course, that content is replaced dynamically for better performance. What we achieve this way in addition to the improved speed is lowered overall load, thus reduced possibility of hardware failures, and longer lifespan of the primary drives, that is one more level of protection for any information that you upload to your account.
SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers
All semi-dedicated server accounts that we provide are generated on a cloud platform that uses only SSD drives. We do not use HDDs anymore, so your Internet sites will load very fast as we use SSDs for every part of the service - files, databases and email addresses. As some users may host sites which are more frequently visited than others, we also use multiple drives for caching. Our system discovers all of the content which is accessed more regularly and duplicates it on these drives so as to load it from them. This setup is used for load-balancing purposes as we make sure that several reading/writing intensive Internet sites will not affect the performance of the other sites which are stored on the same main drive. Using caching drives also increases the life-span of the main storage SSDs and reduces the possibility of disk failures. |

1st one i did, but i think i did for the 2nd one, too. im wondering if this is very unattractive. he knows that im with the disability resource centre and i didn't get accomodations for my 2nd one and i think i failed the fail of the exam. this course is mathematical proofs. im planning to be friends after this course and then get to the main idea. i just like him so much. he's so hot and everything about him is attractive and positive. he is so cute like a little boy, skinny and handsome. he's 15 years older than me, almost 16, but i don't care at all. he actually looks like one of those guys who look like they're in kindergarten. i never had a boyfriend before and im 19. if i fail this one, i'll try dating about 3 decades from then. if this doesn't work out, i'll just live alone without friends, same clothes, don't wash often and just stay in my dorm. i'll do nothing, but surf the internet, watch things and study. there'll be nothing more than this in my life.
well the fact that im so into this person, is a chance for me to break out of my shell and try to be pretty and be the best looking as i can. if it wasn't for him, i would have still wore the same clothes everyday, just live i used to and eat more junk food.
i actually care about my hair now. i used to make a half pony-tail and put the end of my hair sideways always. im thinking about getting a sweet perfume and i need to do much more than now to look prettier.
is it unattractive of me to be failing exams? now im not quite confident about looking good because what's the point of trying to look good if im failing exams?

It is not in your best interests to let the actions of some other person determine your future, or your identity.
There is every chance this person has no sexual or romantic interest in you. They might be otherwise engaged, not into relationships, homosexual, consider dating students as being unethical, or just plain not into you. None of which should determine what you wear, how you style your hair, or whether you spend your time on the internet and give up on dating.
The manner in which your interest in this person is manifesting, is not healthy for you, and cannot form the foundation for a healthy relationship.

Checklist Codes
Code-1 and Code-2: Regularly occurring North American avifauna.
Includes regular breeding species and visitors. There is no firm designation between Code-1 and Code-2 species, except that logically Code-1 species are more widespread and are usually more numerous. Code-2 species have a restricted North American range, are more widespread, but occur in lower densities, or are quite secretive making their detection often difficult. We readily acknowledge that some Code-2 species are harder to find than some species that have higher codes.
Code-3: Rare.
Species that occur in very low numbers, but annually, in the ABA Checklist Area. This includes visitors and rare breeding residents.
Code-4: Casual.
Species not recorded annually in the ABA Checklist Area, but with six or more total records—including three or more in the past 30 years—reflecting some pattern of occurrence.
Code-5: Accidental.
Species that are recorded five or fewer times in the ABA Checklist Area, or fewer than three records in the past 30 years.
Code-6: Cannot be found.
The species is probably or actually extinct or extirpated from the ABA Checklist Area, or all survivors are held in captivity (or releases are not yet naturally re-established).
ABA Area
The ABA area (sometimes referred to as the ABA Checklist Area) is essentially North America north of Mexico.
Specifically, the area encompassed is the 50 United States Canada, the French islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon, and adjacent waters to a distance of 200 miles from land or half the distance to a neighboring country, whichever is less.
Excluded by these boundaries are Bermuda, The Bahamas, and Greenland.
A subarea of the ABA Checklist Area, or other prescribed area, is as defined by its legal boundaries. If not legally defined otherwise, it includes adjacent water (rivers, lakes, bays, sounds, etc.) out to half the distance to a neighboring area, but not beyond 200 miles.
Birds observed on or over an ocean are counted for the area having jurisdiction over the nearest land, if within 200 miles.
Extirpated Exotics
With the 2014 changes to the Recording Rules and Interpretations, species in this appendix may now be counted on official lists submitted to the ABA’s Listing Central if:
1. an individual of the species were encountered during the time when the species was present on the main Checklist, and
2. the encountered individual belonged to, or strayed from, a population believed to be established at the time of the encounter.
For each species listed below, we have provided the year in which it was removed from the main ABA Checklist, as well as the populations that were considered countable. The year a species was removed from the main Checklist represents the last year during which an encounter with that species is considered countable on current lists. For example, you may now count that Yellow-headed Parrot you saw in southeast FL during or prior to 1982, but you may not count that Yellow-headed Parrot if you saw it during or after 1983.
Removed from main Checklist: 2015
Population considered countable: Tampa Bay, FL
Crested Myna
Removed from main Checklist: 2004
Population considered countable: Vancouver, BC
African Collared-Dove
Removed from main Checklist: 1994

Exclusive: Sunday Riley Just Dropped an Extremely Limited-Edition Early Access Kit
Only 1,000 lucky customers will get their hands on this three-piece holiday gift set.
Sunday Riley Early Access Kit with Good Genes A Retinol and CEO Glow Facial Oil

Few skin-care brands enjoy the level of dedicated fandom quite like Sunday Riley. The Houston, Texas-based brand is behind many Sephora best-sellers, and any new launch almost always results in metaphorically endless wait lists. And speaking of newness, Sunday Riley's forthcoming set is one that even we, as seasoned beauty editors, weren't prepared for. (More on this in a second.)
You may have heard of a little-known product of called Good Genes. For the unfamiliar, the liquid exfoliator is described as an "all-in-one lactic acid treatment", and it's became a favorite among skin-care devotees, thanks to its glow-imparting, skin-smoothing powers. However, earlier this year (and as confirmed by a Sunday Riley spokesperson), it was announced that the product was being discontinued in the U.K. due to new regulations that limited the amount of lactic acid that can be formulated into skin-care products.
As this Reddit thread shows, fans across the pond were devastated. However, in October 2018, the brand quietly released a newly reformulated version of the product, which featured glycolic acid as a hero exfoliating ingredient, not lactic. This version of Good Genes has been a U.K. exclusive up until, well, now.
As Allure exclusively reports, Sunday Riley is bringing the product stateside by way of a (very) limited-edition set, called the Early Access Kit. Just how limited are we talking? Only 1,000 of the kits will be sold, and to sweeten the deal, the brand is including two more unreleased products that you won't be able to find anywhere else until they "officially" launch in early 2019.
The second of the not-yet-released products is called A+, which is a "high-dose retinoid serum" that the brand likens to a souped-up version of the best-selling Luna Sleeping Night Oil. Containing a 6.5 percent concentration of retinol, the pro-strength formula was made for those who are looking for potent formulas with fast results. (However, if your skin is naturally sensitive, Sunday Riley recommends you build up your skin's tolerance to retinol, and as always, use a sunscreen.) To balance any irritation or peeling that can sometimes arise with the use of a retinol-based product, A+ also contains gentle botanical ingredients like Hawaiian white honey, bisabolol (a derivative from the chamomile flower), ginger, and prickly pear cactus.
The third — and final — member of the Early Access trio is C.E.O. Glow, a vitamin C and turmeric face oil that brings everything you loved about the C.E.O. serum (a 2018 Allure Readers' Choice winner) into a glow-inducing face oil. Made with THD ascorbate (one of the most potent forms of vitamin C on the market), antioxidants, and soothing vitamin E, the oil brightens and nourishes skin, making it a formidable addition to the existing C.E.O. family.
Courtesy of brand
And now for the most important question: How much does this all cost? The Early Access Kit retails for $185, but contains $230 worth of full-size products. While the brand couldn't confirm plans to carry the glycolic acid-based Good Genes stateside (other than in the Early Access Kit), if you miss your chance to snap one of these up, don't worry. A+ is currently set to launch in January 2019, with C.E.O. Glow following shortly after, in March.
As for where you can pick it up? The Early Access Kit will be available exclusively on the soon-to-be relaunched, which goes live Monday, November 19. (In other words, mark your calendars and set those timers now.)

Stairway To Heaven In Noah’s Ark
The story of Noah’s ark and the flood epic is one of the oldest nursery legends in the world and it has captivated the imaginations of children and adults alike throughout the ages. From childhood memories one may recollect that God sent the deluge to destroy all the evil people upon the earth. It is known that Noah and his family were saved by departing on a titanic ark with every species of animals and birds on board the floating zoo. The ark began its maiden voyage on the 17th day of the second month when the rain began and it lasted for the proverbial 40 days and 40 nights.

Celestial Knowledge Of The Flood Saga
Some of the more precise details after that may be a little sketchy but the Book of Genesis tells that the waters started to rise on the earth over a period of 150 days. Few will remember hearing of so many days, but they may recall that the tops of the mountains finally disappeared below the waves. Perhaps children rub their sleepy eyes when they listen to how the ark docked on Mount Ararat and miss out on the fact that it was on the 17th day of the seventh month.
Noah’s ark seemed so real then right up to where the saga ended with a rainbow on the horizon. It was the ultimate image of a colourful finale but never did anyone realize that there was a magical formula of celestial knowledge of the heavens on display in the timing details of the flood saga. Those timing details listed particulars days and specific months together with the length of periods in days. It was very mysterious how the dates and periods were so precise as if they adhered to a deliberately planned timetable.

The Riddle Of Noah’s Age
The first sign that there was some time amiss in the flood story was with an anomaly with the ages of Noah and his son Shem. It stated in the Book of Genesis that Noah was 500 years old when he became the father of triplets, one of whom was Shem. It also outlined that the flood finished on the end of Noah’s 600th year.

I can understand people having trouble understanding people who believe in soemthing that seems impossible, defies science, and requires faith to believe it. On the flip side I have always treated people that believe in the BBT ones who believe in the impossible (nothig exploded and ife was formed), defies science (the BBT breaks 5 proven laws of science), and you can’t prove the BBT so have to believe it by faith. Maybe the key is ignoring the world we know and consider a being from another dimension of time and space caused TBB and all that has occurred is time misunderstandings?
Hi Everyone,
As a believer I believe in The Bible and what it testifies to in Genesis and Jubilees (apparently, the Lesser Genesis Book), so I've never seen it as an Nursery Rhyme but, it never crossed my mind to begin with other people might.
I think in human circles the feeling is more like just how bad was it that God or in the case of the Ancient World's Spiritual belief system gods nearly destroyed Earth over it.
I admit, I Faithfully believed that The Flood was for The best; and Still Do in God's Eyes things had gotten way out of control with Earth so ravaged by Sin.
In Genesis alone there is a grim picture of the State of the World. It always left me with The Feeling, that I never wanted to bear witness too.
Sometime ago I reacquainted myself with the most contested Biblical Book ever by The Christian World itself accept for Ethiopia. Enoch and from Enoch I learned of Jubilees said to be written by Moses.
It was what I read about the complicated matter of the Son's of God saw the daughter's of Man that they were beautiful and came down married the women who gave birth to Giant's and they were Warrior's; Men of Old and Re-known.
Until Enoch I hadn't paid much attention mostly because the Church taught which is True because The Bible Teaches the same lesson Believers are not to marry un-believers Be Not Un-equally Yoked before God in Marriage.
That's not what Son's of God saw the daughter's of Man weren't talking about they were actually referencing the fact God's Angels whom Enoch and Jubilees referred to As the Watchers intermingled with Human Women and polluted Creation.
These Fallen Angel's which numbered 200 contaminating all of Creation were the direct consequence for The Flood and Noah's Ark because of those Wicked Angels behavior God literally had to purge Earth of this Corruption by the Rogue Angel's.
Learning of this factor in The Bible; helps me to understand The Great Flood a lot better. So thank God he saved Human Kind from extinction. Oh right that reminds me Adam in Hebrew means PEOPLE; so Enoch 2 The Book of Secrets of Enoch God declares PEOPLE Destiny was to be An 2nd Angel attached to our Home World Earth.
In Job a man living during Abraham's Time on Earth (so Genesis/Jubilees Time) chapters 1 & 2 deals with God having a Meeting with quote The Sons of God came to a Meeting in Heaven.
These Son's were there to represent other World's and Universe's, of course Satan came too this same Meeting claiming to represent Earth. Originally that's what Adams role was supposed to be that's why God said Adam was an Second Angel but, because of Eden Adam was in The Grave and could no longer represent Earth.
So Satan at the time represented Us up until Christ died on The Cross where He purchased Us with His Blood; Satan Lost his claim that Earth was his (it seems too Me for a Time God allowed Lucifer to believe his own delusion) till the Cross and The Resurrection took place that's why Jesus in The Gospel of Matthew tells his Disciples "That the Prince of This World, has been cast down".
These are my thoughts on Noah's Ark and The Great Flood and why I see it not as an Nursery Rhyme but, as Truth.
There is a concept I learned from National Geographic when they did the documentary on In Search of Adam, 2008 (it's still on ytube), The Bible is a Book of Faith while Science operates on The Idea of an Adam I did think Ideas were on an the same but, science keeps a whole manner of definitions within Science itself.
So why not when Studying Noah and The Flood test out a scenario on The Idea of Obedience when following God's Commands or The Idea of Disobedience The Act of Defying God's Commands see if any what you come back with this Hypothesis Biblically Speaking.
This is where I leave everyone so until next time which ever article that I read and comment on Goodbye!

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5727 | Unlike the popular belief, your website ranking in the topmost positions in the search results is not a guarantee that every visitor on it will convert into paying customers that very instant. Not more than 5% of website visitors will convert immediately. They first explore your website, check out the prices and offers, some may also add products to their cart only to abandon it and never return. It is these people who engage with your website till the end which are the most crucial ones that you should be focusing your remarketing efforts on. By retargeting, you will be displaying your products to these people to encourage them to reconsider buying the products that sit in their cart.
Here is how retargeting looks like –
1. Potential customers visit your website, explore it, and leave without checking out the cart items.
2. Later, when these users browse through their social network and other websites, they will see your ad for the products that they abandoned in the cart.
3. These users then click on the ad and are redirected to your website where they end up buying the product (hopefully).
In this article, we will look at different retargeting ideas that you can employ to your website’s marketing campaigns to improve conversion rates.
10 Ideas For Your Retargeting Campaigns
Here is everything that we will cover –
1. Retargeting Website Visitors
2. Retargeting Subscribers
3. Retargeting Customers
4. Retargeting Loyal Customers
5. Retargeting Leads
6. Retargeting Dormants
7. Retargeting Probable Dormants
8. Retargeting Funnels
9. Retargeting Video Audience
10. Retargeting Specific URL Visits
Let’s get started!
These are those users who have visited your website, added products to the cart and abandoned it. However, they have not necessarily registered or created their account. They only explore your website and move on. By retargeting this audience set, you can remind them of your products while they continue browsing other parts of the internet like social media or some other third-party websites. You can retarget this audience to encourage them to purchase from you.
If you have managed to collect a good number of email ids via your subscription lists, you can use them to retarget your products too. Now, people giving their email ids to you does not entirely mean that they are your loyal customers, but it shows that they have a high intent of purchasing from you. Use custom lists (for eg. Facebook custom lists) to target these users. Upload their email ids, phone numbers to create custom lists.
Suggested Read – Gauging the Best Time to Schedule Facebook Ads
You can retarget your existing customers who have made just a single purchase yet. You can specifically show them ads of similar products or you can upsell the same product that they bought earlier. This is more likely to bring in more conversions as these customers will be reminded of what they purchased but have not thought of returning to your website again.
You must create a whole new list of your loyal customer base. These are the ones who are the most important for your business as they are more likely to do your word-of-mouth marketing and bring in further new customers. Retargeting these customers is especially important when you have a new product or service in the market. Because your loyal customers are the ones who purchase from you frequently, they are more likely to engage with your ads and new offerings.
If you’re dealing in high-priced products or services, then you should run lead generation ads on social media and search. The users who fill up your forms are now your leads and have successfully entered the sales funnel. You can create a separate audience list of these leads and show them specific ads and content that might encourage them to close the deal.
Dormant are those customers who have stopped visiting your website for a specific period of time. More than 50% of people in your email list and otherwise go dormant after a specified period of time (based on the niche of your business). It will make a huge difference if you allocate some remarketing budget to win these dormant back. Make sure to retarget dormant who fall in a specific time period and don’t go beyond because the further back you go in trying to remarket to dormant users, the less likely it is for you to win them back.
By name, they might sound the same. But there is a little difference. In this strategy, you retarget those customers who are on the verge of becoming dormant. Keep an eye on your audience’s behaviour using Google Analytics and remarket to those who show the sign of less engagement with every passing day. Work on retaining these customers because it will cost less than acquiring new ones.
Although it will require a marketing automation engine for scaling, it is one of the most popular strategies for retargeting customers. Based on where your potential customers are in the sales funnel, you can customise your sales pitch or brand message and convey it using the right medium. For example, if a user has visited your website and left, you can retarget them using enriching descriptions and images of your best selling products to win them back. In case he goes further down and reaches the cart, you can use remarketing to prompt them to come back and complete the unfinished transaction. If he still does not come back, you can try encouraging them with discount offers.
A powerful way to improve your conversions is by retargeting those users who have watched your video content. Videos are more likely used for people in the top funnel to increase brand awareness. Users are much more likely to engage with brands that produce video content. This is more likely to hold their attention instead of trying to hard sell to them which usually backfires as the users end up feeling annoyed. Leverage social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook to display your video content. You can then use Facebook and Youtube’s retargeting options to target based on how much video has the users watched.
Also Read – Really YouTube Ads are helpful for your Business?
This is why it is crucial to have the tracking code (for eg. Facebook Pixel) added on all the pages of your website. This way you can remarket to those users who have visited specific pages on your website. For example, there can be some users who have visited the baby’s apparel section on your website and there can be some people who visited the women section.

While the person in question shouldn't be doing this too early — you probably won't want to receive any "hey babes" from a perfect stranger, for example — it can be a sweetas you get to know each other better, that they're becoming just a little bit enamored. But there are subtler s to look out for as well.
4 Texting als That Mean They're Falling In Love, So Enjoy The Ride
It's also meaningful that these texts are coming during more intimate throuth of the day, Sassoon says, like while they're lying in bed at the end of a long day. It is a of closeness. Of course, if they were sending heart emojis from day one, you might not want to read into it as much.
When that's the case, you'll start to notice your conversations have more substance, not only via text but also in real life. Whether it's a shift in their emoji usage, the frequency with which they respond, or the types of questions they askexperts say many people will thtough their texting habits in a noticeable way.
More like this. They aren't keeping things surface-level, but are now showing they care about you and your well-being. These s can be reassuring as you navigate those early days of datingbut you will eventually want to gather more info.
So, just like someone might linger on a date in order to keep a conversation going, you might notice that they linger fallijg text, too. These usually take more effort, and show that they're interested in having the conversation continue. It can be easier, in a way, to share compliments via text, which is why you might receive them on your phone before you hear any in real life.
What Do His Emojis Really Mean?
And seem excited to write back. It isn't, however, completely infallible. And they want to know what you think, too. And, you can even ask them, straight up, if they're feeling a connection. When you first falllng talking, it really can be the best way to figure out how they feel, and knowing how someone texts when they like you is a good skill to have — especially knowing sins to look for. And over time you'll realize that their texts seem specifically catered to you and the things you've talked about.

And if you're receiving "goodnight" texts as well, you lovd rest assured they're thinking about you throughout the day. Both of these behaviors point to one thing: They might very well be falling for you. Wondering whether bae is head over heels for you? The more often you're face-to-face, the better chance you'll have of figuring out how they feel.
In fact, there are certain texting als that mean they're falling in love.
It provides a quick and convenient way to make date night dinner plans while you're still at work. They're taking time out of their day to make you a priorityand keep a conversation going. For example, someone who always responds quickly or sends you texts for no particular reason may definitely be developing some stronger feelings for talling.
This shows that the other person is excited to receive your messages and wants to keep the conversation going. Their day wasn't just "good.
2. You're craving the cuddles and not the sex.
Instead, you'll want to look for other positive clues, such as how quickly they respond. If you wake up the next morning to an earnest apology text and an explanation, it shows they not only care about your feelings, but that they want to make your burgeoning relationship a priority in their life. Or, have they developed inside jokes with you that they pepper into your conversations? In fact, as Bennett says, "one of the falliing s someone likes you over text is a rapid response.
1. You’re all like “Ex, who?”
So keep an eye out for an increase in compliments, as that can be a solid they're developing feelings. By Rebecca Strong July 8, It goes without saying that today, texting plays a pivotal role in our relationships.
Some of them are perhaps more obvious. Then keep a lookout og one of these telling text habits. If someone's into you, they'll likely acknowledge that they're busy and say they'll get back to you soon, instead of just leaving you hanging. So, if you're feelin' it, go ahead and send a heart right back, and see where it le.
16 Ways to Tell He Is in Love With You Through Text Messages
Also, the fact that they're expressing them shows they're becoming more comfortable with you. It demonstrates that answering you is a priority, even above and beyond other commitments. And that might just mean they'd like to get know you more.
Here are a few s they just may say yes, according to experts. This shows that things are now getting personal, and you're forming a closer bond. And if you feel so inclined, go ahead and make up some cute pet names yourself.
Don't miss a thing with the Elite Daily newsletter.
So enjoy these early conversations, text 'em back, and see where things signd from there. It makes sense when you think about it. They are letting you into their world. The same may also be true if you send a text and it takes a while for them to respond. It also offers a less vulnerable way to flirt with your crush and test the waters.

Coming up with this kind of coded language isn't just super flirty. According to Safran, these types of detailed and well-thought-out texts are like a modern day love letter, so go ahead and let yourself feel excited. If you find yourselves starting sogns ending the day together — even if it's just via text — that can mean a lot. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5810 | PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - Casas-Tintó, Sergio AU - Ferrús, Alberto TI - The haplolethality paradox of the <em>wupA</em> gene in <em>Drosophila</em> AID - 10.1101/2020.09.11.292748 DP - 2020 Jan 01 TA - bioRxiv PG - 2020.09.11.292748 4099 - 4100 - AB - Haplolethals (HL) are regions of diploid genomes that in one dose are fatal for the organism. Their biological meaning is obscure, given that heterozygous loss-of-function mutations will result in dominant lethality and, consequently, should be under strong negative selection. In addition, their biological nature is under debate: a chromosomal structure that is essential for the expression of several genes (regulatory hypothesis), or the strict dosage requirement of one particular gene (functional hypothesis). We report the first in depth study of an haplolethal region, the one associated to the Drosophila gene wings up A (wupA). It encodes 13 transcripts (A-M) that yield 11 protein isoforms (A-K) of Troponin I (TnI). They are functionally diverse in their control of muscle contraction, cell polarity and cell proliferation. Isoform K can transfer to the nucleus where it increases the transcription of the cell proliferation related genes CDK2, CDK4, Rap and Rab5. The nuclear translocation of isoform K is prevented by the co-expression of A or B isoforms, which illustrates isoform interactions. The corresponding dominant lethal mutations (DL) result from DNA rearrangements, clustered in the intron between exons 7-8, and affect the genomic organization of all transcripts. The joint elimination of isoforms C, F, G and H, however, do not cause DL phenotypes. Genetically driven expression of single isoforms rescue neither DL nor any of the mutants known in the gene, suggesting that normal function of wupA requires the properly regulated expression of specific combinations, rather than single, TnI isoforms along development. We conclude that the HL function at wupA results from the combined haploinsufficiency of a large set of TnI isoforms. The qualitative and quantitative normal expression of which, requires the chromosomal integrity of the wupA genomic region. Since all fly TnI isoforms are encoded in the same gene, its HL condition becomes unavoidable.Author summary Most species contain two copies of their genetic endowment, each received from their progenitors. If one of the duplicated genes is non-functional, due to either null mutations or genomic loss, the remaining gene copy may supply enough product as to cover the requirements for normal function or, alternatively, may reflect the insufficiency through a visible phenotype. In rare occasions, however, mutation in one copy is so deleterious that causes lethality, usually at early stages of development. These so called “haplolethal regions”, exist across species and represent an evolutionary paradox since they should have been subject to intense negative selection. The inherent difficulties to study haplolethals have precluded their study so far. Here, we analyzed the case of one of the five haplolethal regions of Drosophila, the one associated to the Troponin I encoding gene wupA, by measuring the transcriptional effects of mutations and chromosomal rearrangements affecting this gene. The data show that haplolethality results from the combined insufficiency of a large number of Troponin I isoforms, which are functionally specialized, show interference and require the integrity of the native chromatin structure for their quantitatively regulated expression. These features unveil novel aspects of gene expression and, possibly, on evolutionary gene splitting. |

As Shi Sheng looked at the little brat Gu Su, her expression underwent a change.
“I want to see Senior Brother…” Gu Su scratched, kicked, and even bit as he struggled to get out of Dai Yue’s grip.
“Your Excellency.” Dai Yue looked at Shi Sheng, pleading for assistance.
Shi Sheng reached out, picked him up, and tossed him into the room. Before Gu Su could get to his feet, she shut the door.
“Lock it.” Shi Sheng ordered Dai Yue.
Dai Yue, “…” ‘Your Excellency…are you sure Sir Ling Yue won’t be mad once he finds out? Even the suggestion to drug him was better than this…’
Gu Su pounded on the door from the inside of the room.
Shi Sheng’s expression remained unfazed, as she smacked the door harder than he had. “If you want to see your Senior Brother, stay here quietly! Otherwise, don’t even think about seeing him!”
Dai Yue, “…” ‘Yup, Sir Ling Yue’s going to be mad alright. This is his Junior Brother! His one and only Junior Brother!’
Although Dai Yue didn’t want to admit it, this scare tactic had been rather effective—the room’s occupant quietened down a lot.
On the day of the Heaven’s Ritual.
The Heaven’s Ritual was to be held at an altar outside the palace.
Not only were the Empress and officials present, the commoners would come to bear witness to the ceremony as well.
Due to its importance, safety was the number one priority—there were multiple layers of guards surrounding the altar.
Jiang Zhi was rather unnoticeable within the group of princes and princesses.
The low murmur of people discussing the Crown Princess’s disappearance could be heard. Jiang Zhi felt a bit uneasy upon overhearing their conversation.
“The Crown Princess’s attendants said she’s gone missing. I reckon she’s snuck out of the palace to play again.”
“But Master Ling Yue’s still here; how could she have left the palace…”
The Crown Princess had used many methods to escape the palace before. Suddenly disappearing had been one of them. Hence, the first reaction upon hearing the Crown Princess had vanished was that she had run out of the palace again.
“She’s a fickle one. Who knows if she took a liking to someone else outside?”
“Still, she dares to not even show up for the Heaven’s Ritual? I want to see how she’ll explain herself to Imperial Mother this time!”
“Prime Minister…”
“Prime Minister…”
Several sounds of greeting could be heard from the distance.
Jiang Zhi saw the woman surrounded by attendants the moment she lifted her head.
She couldn’t help but recall the scene from that night, causing her face to pale a bit.
Ever since Jiang Zhi had arrived in this world, that was the first time she’d experienced such a close brush with death.
In her old world, she’d merely been a mere white-collar worker—how strong could her character actually be?
She had only understood then that in the world she was in now, human lives weren’t as sacred as they were in her previous world.
Even if she was a Princess.
Shi Sheng ignored the group of imperial offspring and made her way to her spot.
“Jun Liyou is really becoming more impudent! Just what is Imperial Mother thinking by continuing to leave her be?”
“Shh! Are you looking for death? Do you think the Jun Clan is that easy to deal with?”
Jiang Zhi’s face paled even further, as she listened to the murmured discussion. ‘Just how strong must a clan be, for even the imperial family to fear them?
I’m a modern person dammit! Would I lose to an ancient person?!
Evil will never triumph over good! Jun Liyou is going down one of these days!’
Shi Sheng didn’t know what Jiang Zhi was thinking—she was just staring at the altar, bored out of her mind.
Only after the Empress and Ling Yue arrived did the Heaven’s Ritual officially begin.
The commoners were all kneeling on the ground, not daring to even look at the altar.
The officials bowed to show their respect.
Only Shi Sheng kept her head raised, as she fearlessly examined the person standing on the altar.
Ling Yue looked even better than usual, wearing special ceremonial priest robes that were much more vibrant than his regular garb.
The procedure for each Heaven’s Ritual were pretty much all the same. But for some reason, Shi Sheng found it to be a bit off this time.
A wind had picked up at some point. It started out as a light breeze, before becoming a fierce gust that caused the banners surrounding the altar to flutter wildly.
What had been a perfectly clear day gradually turned overcast as dark clouds gathered.
“What’s going on?”
“This has never happened during the Heaven’s Ritual before…”
“What’s happening…”
This change dispelled any thoughts of adhering to proper ceremonial procedure. The onlookers finally dared to raise their heads to watch.
Ling Yue’s figure had been obscured by the fluttering banners, so they could only vaguely make out his silhouette.
But soon, the wind stopped, and sunlight poured through the dark clouds as the banners ceased their dance.
It was as if the darkness and wind from before had been an illusion.
Shi Sheng frowned as she looked at him. She had actually felt spirit energy just now!
It had been mixed in with the fierce winds and disappeared when they died. But still, she had definitely felt that familiar sensation from the burst of spirit energy.
Ripples couldn’t help but form in her eyes as she looked at Ling Yue.
He had already finished the last step. He got off the altar and spoke to the Empress, in a manner that was neither subservient nor disrespectful, “The Heaven’s Ritual has failed.”
The Empress shot to her feet with an agitated expression. “How could it have failed?!”
‘There had never been strange occurrences nor failures in the previous Heaven’s Rituals!’
Ling Yue recited a bunch of words, using very sophisticated language.
If translated to normal human speak, it roughly meant: the heavens rejected the offerings of the imperial clan, because its members were lacking virtue.
Ling Yue’s voice wasn’t soft at all—not only had the officials heard his every word, even the commoners did as well.
Because there were imperial clan members lacking virtue, the heavens wouldn’t accept this offering. If the fall harvest fell short, it would be the imperial clan’s fault.
Low murmurs of discussion broke out amongst the commoners.
That peculiar wind was a very convincing testament to Ling Yue’s words, so their gazes towards the Empress and the other imperial clan members turned odd.
As people living in the capital, of course they had heard that the Crown Princess was infamous for snatching men off the streets. The other princesses also had a reputation for bullying people.
“Farewell.” Ling Yue saluted the Empress before turning to leave the altar.
“Stop him!” The Empress shouted.
The guards surrounding the altar immediately drew their blades on Ling Yue.
The Empress lowered her voice, her tone filled with warning as she issued a threat. “Master Ling Yue, it doesn’t matter if what you said was the truth. Redo the Heaven’s Ritual right now. It is not allowed to fail!”
Ling Yue’s expression didn’t change, nor did he make any moves to follow her orders.
“Master Ling Yue, don’t forget: your Junior Brother is still in our(z) hands!”
Ling Yue frowned slightly. He believed Shi Sheng wouldn’t lie to him.
Although, he too felt it strange that he would so easily trust such a person.
“Do less of such things, lest you call down the punishment of the heavens.”
The Empress’ sharp gaze swept towards Ling Yue. ‘He knows the little priest has been rescued?’
“Ling Yue, don’t force my hand!”
“Your Majesty, it’s no use keeping the lil priest here. He’s only human—he doesn’t have the ability to change heaven’s will.” At some point, Shi Sheng had made her way to the stairs to the altar. She smiled lightly at Ling Yue. “Come down.”
The people blocking Shi Sheng’s way hesitantly lowered their blades after receiving the brunt of her glare.
Her smile was rather piercing. Perhaps it was just him, but he felt her gaze when she looked at him to be more sincere.
Ling Yue’s eyes shifted. He descended the stairs and walked to Shi Sheng’s side.
“Official Jun, what are you planning?” The Empress made a signal, telling the people behind her to immediately go on high alert.
It seemed like the very air was curdling from tension.

[[ Shi Sheng frowned as she looked at him. She had actually felt spirit energy just now! ]] That temple must know some spirit energy manipulation thing-- or Ling Yue does. Either way works.
[[ If translated to normal human speak, it roughly meant: the heavens rejected the offerings of the imperial clan, because its members were lacking virtue. ]] Lacking virtue cause the lusty women tried to have their hands on the priest that was supposed to do the rituals. Damn thirsty thots.

Qalandar | February 20, 2008
Good stuff! Interesting you say it's "unprecedented" that the PPP has now come into its own as a national party. But (correct me if I'm wrong), hasn't the PPP ALWAYS had the best claim to being a national party among all the Pakistani political parties? i.e. it won substantial seats in Punjab even in the 1988 and 1993 elections, didn't it? Or were you making the point because of its strong showing this time even in NWFP and Balochistan (I don't know how the party had done in these provinces in earlier elections). [Aside: I'm pleased at the ANP's strong showing in the NWFP].
sepoy | February 20, 2008
Yes, to the later point. The 90s elections saw PPP entirely absent in NWFP and barely there in Baluchistan. So, these gains are noteworthy. thanks.
Umar | February 23, 2008
But wasn't the 1993-1996 government in the NWFP headed by the PPP? Aftab Sherpao was Chief Minister... so it wasn't completely absent... I too am delighted with the ANP's showing... they have won two seats in the Sindh provincial assembly too... of course they were from the Pashtun-dominated parts of Karachi but if I'm not mistaken, the PPP supported them in those constituencies...

my problem:-

can anybody give me a suggestion for this problem???
You can use an Action delegate to go back to the first view when edit is clicked in the second view.
If I understand correctly you do not know in which row an edit button were clicked. In that case you should use the CommandParameter.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/5954 | While the construction of sanitation infrastructure is one of humankind’s greatest public health and environmental engineering achievements, its benefits are not yet enjoyed by all. In addition to the billions of people not yet reached by sanitation infrastructure, at least half of systems constructed in developing contexts are abandoned in the years following initial construction. In this research, we target the problem of postconstruction onsite sanitation infrastructure abandonment in rural Guatemala using legitimacy and status theory. Legitimacy and status are established theoretical concepts from organizational theory that reflect cultural alignment and normative support. Crisp set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA), which uses Boolean algebra to discover combinations of theoretical conditions that produce an outcome of interest, allowed us to describe the various pathways that have caused socially sustainable uptake. We find that three combinations of legitimacy and status theory explain 85% of household cases at a consistency of 0.97. The most practically useful pathway covers 50% of household cases and shows that the combination of consequential legitimacy (a moral understanding of outcomes) and comprehensibility legitimacy (a cognitive model connecting outcomes to processes) is a powerful way to achieve socially sustainable sanitation infrastructure.

How To Install Go 1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04
How To Install Go 1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04
This article uses Ubuntu 14.04
Go is a modern programming language developed by Google that uses high-level syntax similar to scripting languages. It is popular for many applications and at many companies, and has a robust set of tools and over 90,000 repos. This tutorial will walk you through downloading and installing Go 1.6, as well as building a simple Hello World application.
Step 1 — Installing Go
In this step, we’ll install Go on your server.
To begin, connect to your Ubuntu server via ssh:
• ssh sammy@your_server_ip
Once connected, update and upgrade the Ubuntu packages on your server. This ensures that you have the latest security patches and fixes, as well as updated repos for your new packages.
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get -y upgrade
With that complete, you can begin downloading the latest package for Go by running this command, which will pull down the Go package file, and save it to your current working directory, which you can determine by running pwd.
• sudo curl -O
Next, use tar to unpack the package. This command will use the Tar tool to open and expand the downloaded file, and creates a folder using the package name, and then moves it to /usr/local.
• sudo tar -xvf go1.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
• sudo mv go /usr/local
Some users prefer different locations for their Go installation, or may have mandated software locations. The Go package is now in /usr/local which also ensures Go is in your $PATH for Linux. It is possible to install Go to an alternate location but the $PATH information will change. The location you pick to house your Go folder will be referenced later in this tutorial, so remember where you placed it if the location is different than /usr/local.
Step 2 — Setting Go Paths
In this step, we’ll set some paths that Go needs. The paths in this step are all given are relative to the location of your Go installation in /usr/local. If you chose a new directory, or left the file in download location, modify the commands to match your new location.
First, set Go’s root value, which tells Go where to look for its files.
• sudo nano ~/.profile
At the end of the file, add this line:
If you chose an alternate installation location for Go, add these lines instead to the same file. This example shows the commands if Go is installed in your home directory:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
With the appropriate line pasted into your profile, save and close the file. Next, refresh your profile by running:
• source ~/.profile
Step 3 — Testing Your Install
Now that Go is installed and the paths are set for your server, you can test to ensure that Go is working as expected.
Create a new directory for your Go workspace, which is where Go will build its files.
• mkdir $HOME/work
Now you can point Go to the new workspace you just created by exporting GOPATH.
• export GOPATH=$HOME/work
Then, create a directory hierarchy in this folder through this command in order for you to create your test file. You can replace the value user with your GitHub username if you plan to use Git to commit and store your Go code on GitHub. If you do not plan to use GitHub to store and manage your code, your folder structure could be something different, like ~/my_project.
• mkdir -p work/src/
Next, you can create a simple “Hello World” Go file.
• nano work/src/
Inside your editor, paste in the content below, which uses the main Go packages, imports the formatted IO content component, and sets a new function to print ‘Hello World’ when run.
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")
This file will show “Hello, World” if it successfully runs, which shows that Go is building files correctly. Save and close the file, then compile it invoking the Go command install.
• go install
With the file compiled, you can run it by simply referring to the file at your Go path.
• sudo $GOPATH/bin/hello
If that command returns “Hello World”, then Go is successfully installed and functional.
By downloading and installing the latest Go package and setting its paths, you now have a Droplet to use for Go development.
Next, be sure to learn some Go tips from our development team, and how to host your project using Martini. The Go development landscape is growing every day, and we hope you help make it robust and exciting.

The Q&A: Dayna Tortorici, hipster taxonomist
What was the hipster? A meditation on a slippery cultural subject
Books, arts and culture
HIPSTERS are everywhere and nowhere in the culture of the last decade. On the one hand, a quick hop on the L-Train to Williamsburg (and now Bushwick) in New York City suggests that the burgeoning population of bestubbled waifs with chunky eyewear is, if anything, expanding its hold on the contemporary imagination. On the other, this prevalence seems to have precluded any real conversation about the hipster's meaning in our culture at large. "What Was the Hipster?: A Sociological Investigation", the latest addition to a small-book series published by n+1, a Brooklyn-based magazine, turns an inquisitive eye to a subject that would seem to defy such discussion. After all, nobody likes hipsters, hipsters least of all.
The collection of essays and musings grew out of a panel on the subject (and includes the 2009 transcript). Subjects range from geographical tensions to the notion of the hipster "other" (ie, a douchebag). But the through-line is a kind of anxiety about if and how the hipster can even be defined. ("A key myth repeated about the hipster, by both the innocent and the underhanded, is that it has no definition," observed Mark Greif, one of the book's editors, in an essay published in New York magazine. "The term has always possessed adequately lucid definitions; they just happen to be multiple. If we refuse to enunciate them, it may be because everyone affiliated with the term has a stake in keeping it murky.") The more the collection tries to pin down the movement, if there is indeed a movement, the more slippery it seems.
Dayna Tortorici co-edited "What Was the Hipster?". Her essay “You Know It When You See It” tackles the subject of hipster photography and the place it carves out for women in a male-dominated subculture. She spoke toMore Intelligent Life via Google-chat about late capitalism, the death of the poser and why it's a cop-out to refuse to understand hipsters. We've condensed the conversation here.
One of the running themes of the book, and of hipsterdom in general, is the way the term eludes definition. What do you see as the essence of the hipster?
Well, one of the arguments that the book tries to make in confronting this question is that the hipster is a sort of a “boogeyman” in popular culture—a blank screen one can project a lot of one's own prejudices and anxieties onto. It seems like a cop-out—a refusal to talk about the hipster in a way that's personal. So to answer more personally, I'd say that the essence of the hipster is his or her (but mostly his) fascination with, or curation of, subculture arcana. There are many ‘types' of hipster that tend to get lumped together when people talk about hipsters—and one of the challenges of the book was knowing when to generalise, when to taxonomise. But one of the things they all have in common is the desire for a special kind of cultural knowledge, and a fierce protection of this knowledge once it's obtained.
While there are a lot of different voices in "What Was the Hipster?", the default—as you imply—does seem to be male. Why is the “hipster feminine,” as you call it in your essay, so much harder to pinpoint than its masculine counterpart?
Well, to give a little backstory to this essay, the question of whether there was a distinct “hipster feminine” first came up while I was working with Kathleen Ross (the book's third editor, with Mark Greif and me) on Rob Moor's essay, “On Douchebags.” In an earlier draft, Rob argued that while “skinny jeans” are the tell-all marker for hipster men, it's not quite the same for hipster women—for reasons he can't quite explain, or can't quite go into. I wanted to press him on it—and then started to think about how the “hipster feminine” was missing from earlier parts of the book as well. Margo Jefferson and Jennifer Baumgardner both touched on it, but mostly in the form of rhetorical questions: ‘Where do women fit in?'
So after discussions with friends and co-editors, I tried to tackle the “hipster feminine” in my essay on party-photography and self-photography. Part of why you can't just point at a woman in skinny jeans and call her a “hipster” is because style markers are so much more fluid in women's fashion—but it's also, more significantly, because part of being a hipster is being “fashionable” or aesthetic when you're not supposed to (e.g. when you're a heterosexual man who isn't ‘supposed to' care about such things). Offensive and stereotypical as it is, culture seems to say: “Women are already fashionable! How can we tell when they're fashionable-hipsters or fashionable-something-else?” To get out of the reductive trap of this question, I felt I had to shift the conversation beyond fashion. Hence: the importance of hipster women's self-presentation, in photography.
What's striking to me about your definition is that it's ultimately an aesthetic categorisation; it's about self-presentation and curation. Whereas when we think of subcultures or countercultures historically, we usually tend to think of politics or even religion. Can hipsters make a genuine claim to being a counterculture?
I think this is where the “taxonomise” v “generalise” problem comes in—because while I'd say “No, hipsters can't make a genuine claim to being a counterculture” (as Mark and several others in the book argue, hipsters are the dominant culture nowadays, despite their “interest” in aspects of subculture, past and present), there are several groups of people who I think often unfairly get lumped into the category “Hipster” who are in fact representatives of more genuine countercultures. Freegans, DIY-kids, radical queers, feminists, crust punks...all kinds of punks. And so on. I wouldn't call such people “hipsters,” but I can think of more than a few people who would.
Do you see the hipster as inherently negative? The book, in particular, Mark Greif's opening paper, suggests that hipsters are in some way “poisonous.” Is this giving them too much credit?
It might be. “Poisonous to whom?” one wants to ask. Of course, the other complication of talking about the hipster generally is that the distinctions between mutations get lost. I'd argue that the conservative, white-pride-inflected, Vice-magazine hipster of 1999-2003 Mark Greif talks about in his contributions is far more “poisonous” to culture than the eco-minded, bicycle-riding, liberal arts-educated hipster one thinks of today. The hipsters of today seem pretty benign. But what I think a lot of people see as truly negative about the hipster (apathy, refusal to engage in politics, participation in gentrification, mindless consumerism paraded as “uniqueness”) isn't actually unique to the hipster. Hipsters today are often regarded (from what I can tell, anyway) more as a nuisance than a poison. They're not doing much of anything bad—often, they're not doing much of anything at all. But they're people that make you feel something about yourself, or about culture, that you don't like.
Right. Part of the frustration with hipsters seems to be that they say something very complicated about privilege, in particular about the privilege of the early “millennials” who came of age in the boom years. I mean, in most instances, aren't we dealing with the white upper-middle-class?
I think so—or if not strictly white, mostly white. In his piece for the panel discussion Jace Clayton asks what we're not talking about when we talk about hipsters, and the role of race and socioeconomic status in this phenomenon is undoubtedly the biggest elephant in the room. But while I think a lot of the ill-feeling toward privileged white twenty-somethings who have the luxury to try out “being an artist” in a city like New York is warranted—hipsters, especially disaffected hipsters (a redundancy?), seem to lack perspective when griping about their problems, claiming to be ‘poor' because they have bedbugs in their renovated three-bedroom apartment in Bushwick—I also sympathise with the hipster. Being a hipster looks like it really sucks: I would hate to be living in an overcrowded city, sublimating my artistic impulses into tacky freelance graphic-design work, going to the same bars every weekend with the exact same white people who look just like me, posing for the Cobrasnake. But it's a pattern that's been established, so I think a lot of young people reach for that lifestyle when they don't know what to do with themselves. Part of it, apolitical as it may be, seems to be a resignation to living in the socio-economically stratified, over-commercialised world of late-capitalist America.
Of course young people could do other things—not move to New York, for example; not take fancy internships; not spend all their money on clothes—so the hipster doesn't deserve too much credit. But I also think it's incredibly aggressive, and ultimately a cop-out to refuse to identify with the hipster in any way, for the same reason that it's an aggressive cop-out to refuse to understand, say, the Tea Party. It's a way of divesting yourself of your own era, as if doing so frees you of all the ugly and unjust aspects of the culture you live in. If you really have a problem with it, you should try to understand where it's coming from, and go from there.
Are there ways in which you, personally, do identify with hipsters? Or is to self-identify as a hipster definitionally impossible?
Well, as a young n+1 intern living in Brooklyn who wore second-hand clothes and rode a bike to work every day, I was—of course—called a hipster many times while working on the book. So if that's being a hipster, I identify. But at the same time the hipsters I feel I've known in my life have always been much more committed to the category than I: more tattoos, more arcane music knowledge, more slack-jawed photo-ops for fashion blogs. If women could be douchebags, I might be more of a douchebag than a hipster. But fortunately—unfortunately?—that's not really a category open to women.
Your essay deals with the role of internet instantaneity in the proliferation of hipster tastes. Do you think there would be hipsters, in the 21st-century sense, without the internet?
Truly, I don't think there would, and I don't think I'm alone in that. I think it's the internet's ability to rapidly circulate taste markers (clothes, music, movies, even poses) that facilitates the making of the hipster, insofar as the hipster is defined purely by the expression of his or her taste (how s/he looks, what obscure movies s/he knows about, etc). Significantly, you don't have to have any ideas to be a hipster, or any ideas in common with other hipsters to recognise them as your hipster brethren. While it's possible that this ‘subculture' of people that was all taste and no ethos could have existed before the internet, the internet certainly facilitated the spread of the hipster by making the how-to of hipsterism available to almost everybody online.
A related thing that's maybe telling about hipster culture is that the word “poser” has completely disappeared—there's no such thing as a hipster poser. So while, for example, you could go online and figure out how all the punk kids dressed, and what music the punk kids listened to, and then showed up in front of a group of punk kids armed with your new knowledge to see if you could pass the test of authenticity, you might still get called a “poser” for affecting the label. That doesn't happen with hipsters—partly because the clothes, the music, the poses are the substance; there's no “real” hipster other than the presentation. So the internet really makes the “creation” of new hipsters possible.
Is the hipster moment over? The title of the book implies as much.
I think most people would acknowledge that the hipster moment isn't over. The inflammatory, online-comment reactions to the book suggest as much: people are still preoccupied with hipsters, whether they're sick of hearing about them or not. While certain iterations of the hipster are definitely over—you don't see trucker hats anymore, really—new iterations are still taking shape all the time. But I'd argue that the hipster as I think of it is certainly phasing out, bleeding into mainstream taste. The figure of the hipster as an elitist, subcultural icon is becoming obsolete. But as for hipsters in general? I think that unless something radically changes in youth culture in the next few years—or in American politics, or in the economy—we'll be seeing hipsters for a while.

The following instructions show you how to prepare your hosts on SLES 12.
If you want to install Elastic Cloud Enterprise on your own hosts, the steps for preparing your hosts can take a bit of time. There are two ways you can approach this:
• Think like a minimalist: Install the correct version of Docker on hosts that meet the prerequisites for Elastic Cloud Enterprise, then skip ahead and install Elastic Cloud Enterprise. Be aware that some checks during the installation can fail with this approach, which will mean doing further host preparation work before retrying the installation.
• Cover your bases: If you want to make absolutely sure that your installation of Elastic Cloud Enterprise can succeed on hosts that meet the prerequisites, or if any of the checks during the installation failed previously, run through the full preparation steps in this section and then and install Elastic Cloud Enterprise. You’ll do a bit more work now, but life will be simpler later on.
Regardless of which approach you take, the steps in this section need to be performed on every host that you want to use with Elastic Cloud Enterprise.
Install Docker version 18.09.9edit
1. Add the SLES Virtualization:containers repository:
sudo zypper ar -t rpm-md
sudo zypper refresh
2. Install the correct version of the docker package:
sudo zypper install -y docker-18.09.7_ce-98.43.1
Set up XFS on SLESedit
Elastic Cloud Enterprise can run without XFS, but XFS is required to support disk space quotas for Elasticsearch data directories. Some Linux distributions such as RHEL and CentOS already provide XFS as the default file system. On SLES 12, we recommend that you set up an XFS file system first.
Using LVM, mdadm, or a combination of the two for block device management is possible, but the configuration is not covered here, nor is it provided as part of supporting Elastic Cloud Enterprise.
If you use XFS, you must use XFS on all allocators.
1. Format the partition:
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/xvdg1
/dev/xvdg1 /mnt/data xfs defaults,pquota,prjquota,x-systemd.automount 0 0
4. Regenerate the mount files:
sudo mount -a
Update the configurations settingsedit
1. Stop the Docker service:
sudo systemctl stop docker
2. Enable cgroup accounting for memory and swap space.
cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 cgroup.memory=nokmem
2. Update your Grub configuration:
sudo update-bootloader
3. Configure kernel parameters
# Required by Elasticsearch 5.0 and later
vm.max_map_count = 262144
# enable forwarding so the Docker networking works as expected
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
# Make sure the host doesn't swap too early
1. Apply the settings:
sudo sysctl -p
sudo service network restart
4. Adjust the system limits.
* soft nofile 1024000
* hard nofile 1024000
* soft memlock unlimited
* hard memlock unlimited
elastic soft nofile 1024000
elastic hard nofile 1024000
elastic soft memlock unlimited
elastic hard memlock unlimited
root soft nofile 1024000
root hard nofile 1024000
root soft memlock unlimited
sudo mount /dev/xvdg1
2. Set the permissions on the newly mounted device:
sudo chown $USER:$USER /mnt/data
Configure the Docker daemon optionsedit
1. Update /etc/sysconfig/docker. If the file path and file do not exist, create them first.
• Docker version 18.09.9
## Path : System/Management
## Description : Extra cli switches for docker daemon
## Type : string
## Default : ""
## ServiceRestart : docker
DOCKER_OPTS="-H unix:///run/docker.sock -g /mnt/data/docker --storage-driver=overlay --bip="
2. Apply the updated Docker daemon configuration:
Reload the Docker daemon configuration:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Restart the Docker service:
sudo systemctl restart docker
Enable Docker to start on boot:
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
4. Recommended: Tune your network settings.
1. Ensure settings in /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf are applied on boot
sudo sh -c "cat << EOF > ${SCRIPT_LOCATION}
set -x
lsmod | grep ip_conntrack || modprobe ip_conntrack
sysctl --system
sudo chmod +x ${SCRIPT_LOCATION}
5. Reboot your system to ensure that all configuration changes take effect:
sudo reboot
6. After rebooting, verify that your Docker settings persist as expected:
sudo docker info | grep Root

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6092 | What Processor Should I Use?
You might question why, as I am supposed to be an embedded software specialist, I am considering the selection of an embedded CPU, which is clearly a hardware matter. It would be a fair question, except that, in embedded system design, the development of hardware and software are inextricably entwined, each having an influence on the other.
So, how is the selection of a CPU affected by software issues? ...
There are a great many embedded CPUs on the market today, so selecting the right one for a given project is a challenge. Here are some of the more obvious selection criteria:
1. Computing power
2. Power consumption
3. On-chip facilities
4. Price and availability
These are mostly hardware oriented, except for computing power; the amount of power needed will depend on the software being run.
There are some other criteria which may seem less obvious:
1. Is the software team familiar with the CPU architecture?
2. Do they have development tools for it (or are they readily available and good quality)?
3. Are simulation models available?
4. Is the chip supported by the chosen operating system? (And any other software IP.)
5. Are there low power modes available? (critical if needed, but perhaps an overhead if not - only the software designers can say).
This brief review seems to suggest that there are more software-oriented factors in the selection of a CPU than hardware criteria. Although I would hesitate to suggest that the software guys should choose the device, I do think that a somewhat revised approach might make sense.
As software is the larger proportion of the overall development effort for most embedded systems, it is obvious that work on the code should start first in order to meet time to market. That is easy enough. However, the further the software development has advanced, the more well defined the needs for CPU specification will be. For example, it may turn out that a design might benefit from the CPU having power management functionality. However, this may not be apparent until a large amount of software design and analysis of use cases has taken place.
I am suggesting that the hardware design team hold off from the selection of the CPU until the last possible moment. That will give the software team a chance to assess how much computing power (and memory) they will need and also what power management capabilities (like low power modes, DVFS, etc.) will be needed to meet their design goals.
Times are changing and the approach to system design needs to change with them.

Slope = $\frac{-1}{2}$
Work Step by Step
To find the slope between two points, we use the slope formula. The slope formula is the change in the y values over the change in the x values. Slope = $\frac{y_{final} - y_{initial}}{x_{final} - x_{initial}}$ The final and initial points do not matter. In this example, the initial point will be (2,-1) and the final point will be (-2,1). However, either point can be considered the final point and either point can be considered to be the initial point without changing the slope. Using the slope formula: Slope = $\frac{1 - (-1)}{-2 - 2}$ = $\frac{2}{-4}$ = $\frac{-1}{2}$

The American Electrology Association (AEA) is an electrology trade group.
Established in 1958, AEA is the largest professional membership organization for practitioners of electrolysis. Although its name says American, its membership is actually international.
Together with Educational Testing Service they created and administer the Certified Professional Electrologist Exam. Those passing the exam are known as Board Certified Electrologists (from the International Board of Electrologist Certifications), Certified Professional Electrologists (CPE).
I recommend considering an electrologist who holds a CPE certification, which you can find on their website.

Slip disc: Rupturing of the tissue that separates the vertebral bones of the spinal column.
What Is Slipped Disc (Herniated Disc)?
The discs are protective shock-absorbing pads between the bones of the spine (vertebrae). The discs of the spine are also referred to as intervertebral discs. Although they do not actually "slip," a disc may bulge, split, or rupture. This can cause the disc cartilage and nearby tissue to fail (herniate), allowing the inner gel portion of the disc to escape into the surrounding tissue. This protruding, jelly-like substance can place pressure on the spinal cord or on an adjacent nerve to cause symptoms of pain, numbness, or weakness either around the damaged disc or anywhere along the area supplied by that nerve.
Many people experience no symptoms from a herniated disc, and the majority of people who have herniated discs do not need surgery.
The layman's term "slipped disc" is, therefore, a misnomer and actually refers to a condition whereby portions of an abnormal, injured, or degenerated disc have protruded against adjacent nerve tissues. This condition is also known as a slipped disk, herniated disc, ruptured disc, or prolapsed disc. The most frequently affected area is in the low back, but any disc can rupture, including those in the neck.
Slipped Disc - Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Understanding the spine
The spine is made up of many bones called vertebrae. These are roughly circular and between each vertebra is a 'disc'. The discs are made of strong 'rubber-like' tissue, which allows the spine to be fairly flexible. A disc has a stronger fibrous outer part, and a softer jelly-like middle part called the nucleus pulposus.
The spine protects the spinal cord, which contains the nerves that come from the brain. Nerves from the spinal cord come out from between the vertebrae to take and receive messages to various parts of the body. Strong ligaments attach to the vertebrae. These give extra support and strength to the spine. Various muscles also surround and are attached to various parts of the spine.
What is a prolapsed disc?
When you have a prolapsed disc (commonly called a 'slipped disc'). A disc does not actually 'slip'. What happens is that part of the inner softer part of the disc (the nucleus purposes) bulges out through a weakness in the outer part of the disc. A prolapsed disc is sometimes called herniated disc. The bulging disc may press on nearby structures such as a nerve coming from the spinal cord. Some inflammation also develops around the prolapsed part of the disc.
Who gets a prolapsed disc?
It is not clear why some people develop a prolapsed disc and not others, even when they do the same job or lift the same sort of objects. It seems that some people may have a weakness in the outer part of the affected disc. Various things may trigger the inner softer part of the disc to prolapse out through the weakened outer part of the disc. For example, sneezing, awkward bending, or heavy lifting in an awkward position may cause some extra pressure on the disc. In people with a weakness in a disc this may be sufficient to cause a prolapse. Factors that may increase the risk of developing a prolapsed disc include: a job involving lots of liftin, a job involving lots of sitting (especially driving), weight-bearing sports (weight lifting etc), smoking, obesity and increasing age (a disc is more likely to develop a weakness with increasing age).

What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a symptom. It consists of leg pain, which might feel like a bad leg cramp, or it can be excruciating, shooting pain that makes standing or sitting nearly impossible.
The pain might be worse when you sit, sneeze, or cough. Sciatica can occur suddenly or it can develop gradually. You might also feel weakness, numbness, or a burning or tingling ("pins and needles") sensation down your leg, possibly even in your toes. Less common symptoms might include the inability to bend your knee or move your foot and toes.
What causes sciatica?
Sciatica might be a symptom of a "pinched nerve" affecting one or more of the lower spinal nerves. The nerve might be pinched inside or outside of the spinal canal as it passes into the leg.
Conditions that cause sciatica:
A herniated or slipped disc that causes pressure on a nerve root. This is the most common cause of sciatica.
herniated disc
Spinal stenosis. This condition results from narrowing of the spinal canal with pressure on the nerves.
Nonsurgical Treatment
The condition usually heals itself, given sufficient time and rest. Approximately 80% to 90% of patients with sciatica get better over time without surgery, typically within several weeks.
Nonsurgical treatment is aimed at helping you manage your pain without long-term use of medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or muscle relaxants may also help. In addition, you may find it soothing to put gentle heat or cold on your painful muscles. It is important that you continue to move. Do not remain in bed, as too much rest may cause other parts of the body to feel discomfort.
Find positions that are comfortable, but be as active as possible. Motion helps to reduce inflammation. Most of the time, your condition will get better within a few weeks.
Sometimes, your doctor may inject your spinal area with a cortisone-like drug.
As soon as possible, start stretching exercises so you can resume your physical activities without sciatica pain. Your doctor may want you to take short walks and may prescribe physical therapy.
Surgical Treatment
You might need surgery if you still have disabling leg pain after 3 months or more of nonsurgical treatment. A part of your surgery, your herniated disk may be removed to stop it from pressing on your nerve.
The surgery (laminotomy with discectomy) may be done under local, spinal, or general anesthesia. This surgery is usually very successful at relieving pain, particularly if most of the pain is in your leg.

OWASP Top 10: Broken Authentication Security Vulnerability Practical Overview
Thursday, June 21, 2018 By Read Time: 5 min.
User authentication – the process of ensuring only authorized users have access to controlled data and functionality – is the fundamental cornerstone of web and application security.
OWASP Top 10: Broken Authentication Security Vulnerability Practical Overview
Keeping usernames and passwords secure and making sure malicious users can’t hijack a legitimate user’s session should be top of mind when designing security features; but poor implementation and user error often results in broken authentication [CWE-287] measures. Authentication attacks can be so far-reaching and severe that OWASP’s 2017 list of top 10 application security threats places broken authentication at A2; the biggest threat after injection attacks.
Want to have an in-depth understanding of all modern aspects of
Broken Authentication Security Vulnerability Practical Overview.
Read carefully this article and bookmark it to get back later, we regularly update this page.
Broken authentication
The risk of broken authentication is not restricted to a set attack pattern or specific application vulnerability. An application becomes vulnerable when adequate user authentication controls are improperly implemented or overlooked altogether, increasing the risk of user accounts being breached. OWASP outlines the three primary attack patterns that exploit weak authentication:
1. credential stuffing
2. brute force access
3. session hijacking
OWASP outlines the three primary attack patterns that exploit weak authentication: credential stuffing, brute force access, and session hijacking.
Credential stuffing is the use of automated tools to test a list of valid usernames and passwords, stolen from one company, against the website of another company. Since users frequently use the same password on multiple accounts, attackers using this method will inevitably achieve a degree of success.
Obtaining valid passwords from the dark web is no problem. Sometimes breaches obtain user credentials stored in plain text. When Sony was breached by LulzSec in 2011, over 1 million user passwords were stolen in plaintext format.
But even if a company stores its passwords hashed, all but the strongest passwords will rapidly be cracked by the hackers using rainbow tables.
In 2017, researchers discovered a file on the dark web containing 1.4 billion compromised username and password combinations, in plain text format. These were compiled from numerous earlier breaches and made available for anyone to use.
Brute forcing passwords is technically the process of trying every different password possibility until the correct one is found. In practice, this isn’t necessary. Attackers will use a list of the most common passwords (such as ‘password’ and ‘123456789’), and try each one in turn – again using automated scripts.
With users now having to manage so many different passwords, the tendency is for people to choose simple ones; and to reuse the same password across multiple accounts. Brute forcing is consequently a simple and often effective attack.
Session hijacking is the exploitation of a legitimate user’s authenticated session. Once login is achieved, the host system will typically assign a session ID to the user so that it isn’t necessary to re-login for each new page visited. This session ID is usually a number appended to the URL in the browser, or a session cookie placed on the user’s computer. In theory it is removed when the user logs out (from the session).
If an attacker can obtain the session ID, perhaps by sniffing traffic, he or she is able to hijack the legitimate user’s session. Since that user is already authenticated, the attacker is able to perform any action allowed to that user.
The most common session hijack attacks are guessing or predicting the session token; sniffing the token; client-side attacks (XSS, malicious JavaScript Codes, Trojans, etc); man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks; and man-in-the-browser (MITB) attacks.

The scope of the problem
The potential harm caused by broken authentication extends as far as the functionality of the compromised application. It only takes a single account with full administrative access to be compromised and the attackers have access to the entire account – or system, or network. Depending on the nature of the compromised account, attackers could gain access to highly sensitive data or open avenues for identity theft, fraud or money laundering.
Credential stuffing and brute forcing passwords are the most commonly seen attacks of this type. Verizon’s 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report estimated that 81% of hacking-related breaches made use of stolen or weak passwords. As well as giving attackers access to users’ personal data, in most cases a breach will also expose more passwords, especially if stored without hashing or other security.
A Gemalto study into data breaches estimated that over 2.6 billion data records were breached in 2017, across 1,765 separate incidents.
Data breaches are growing year by year in severity and scope. A Gemalto study into data breaches estimated that over 2.6 billion data records were breached in 2017, across 1,765 separate incidents. In addition to exposing a user’s sensitive information, these breaches carry a heavy financial risk to businesses. A Gartner blog estimated that, even in 2011, Sony would end up paying out more than $300 Million after its users’ data was breached. John Pescatore wrote: “Almost inevitably, the costs of avoiding a security incident are less than the costs of dealing with the impact of an incident”.
Today the cost could be even higher. Losing the personal data of European citizens could invoke GDPR fines of up to 4% of a company’s annual global revenue. For large companies this could run to billions of dollars.
Users should be encouraged – sometimes forced by the application – to adopt good password policy.
Compliance with up-to-date, password guidelines is important, with NIST in particular named by OWASP. NIST’s latest proposals suggest forbidding passwords containing certain non-secure qualities, such as:
• passwords obtained from previous breach corpuses
• dictionary words
• repetitive or sequential characters (e.g. ‘aaaaaa’, ‘1234abcd’).
Both GCHQ and NIST offer excellent advice on what should be used. Surprisingly, both suggest that over-complicated passwords and frequent forced changes can be counter-productive.
Complicated passwords frequently aggravate the password problem,” explains High-Tech Bridge CEO Ilia Kolochenko. “Users start writing them down and leaving them on their desks, use very similar passwords after every password update, or even invent one complicated global password for all their accounts.
Both GCHQ and NIST recommend that a passphrase of three memorable words should be constructed rather than adopting a single memorable word.
Perhaps the single most important action, however, is the implementation of multi-factor authentication. Symantec estimates that as many as 80% of data breaches could be prevented by implementing 2FA.
OWASP also recommends limiting the number of failed login attempts for each user, and introducing an increasing delay between each permitted attempt, to foil brute force attacks.
Proper session management is equally vital. Any application should automatically invalidate a session token after a period of user inactivity, or if the application’s window or tab is closed. OWASP provides a detailed cheat sheet for good session management.
AI is becoming more able to identify a potential attacker based on anomalous behavior and behavioral biometrics.
And finally, a note for the future: machine learning and behavioral biometrics may start to play a bigger part in application security as the technology develops. By building a profile of legitimate or expected user behavior, AI is becoming more able to identify a potential attacker based on anomalous behavior and behavioral biometrics. Gartner predicts that behavioral biometrics could eventually replace passwords altogether, saying “For example, smartphones can capture and learn a user's behavior…without the need for passwords or active authentications”. The phone effectively authenticates the user, and the application opens a session with or through the phone.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6377 | It has always seemed unavoidable that measurements (or observations) set off the sudden change from waves to particles, and many think that the consciousness of the experimenter is part of the process.
But now a small minority, growing rapidly and including some of the world's top physicists, think there's a purely physical explanation, and that it's nothing to do with consciousness. To make a measurement, you have to cause an interaction - 'bumping bits of matter together' - and the new idea is that this is the cause of the sudden change.
Two very good physicists explain why they think interactions is a better bet than measurements, and it becomes clear that the new avenue is an important one. But until now, no-one has been able to say why interactions should do that, so the idea has been something of a taboo.
In the film a British physicist, Jonathan Kerr, who has found a theory that explains why interactions should have that effect, discusses his theory and the interactions avenue with Carlo Rovelli and Neil Turok. The script of the film is based on Kerr's book, The Unsolved Puzzle.

Richard Di Natalie, with his perennial call for moving Australia Day, citing the equally perennial and tedious meme of dispossession, theft, “ongoing genocide” and “slaughter” is once again proving and reinforcing the point made by Chris Kenny in his column in the Weekend Australian, 6/1 (Gesture politics blocks the nations path to progress.
There is not one aboriginal person alive today that has been dispossessed of anything. Not a single one. In fact they have been the beneficiaries of taxpayer largesse to the extent of the Closing the Gap program with a budget of $33.4 billion a year.
There is still a long way to go but the generosity and intent is the exact opposite of the image that Di Natalie is trying to convey.
The Greens with their cynical, shallow, manipulation of minorities combined with their phony virtue signalling are as predictable as ever around Australia Day with Di Natalie more particularly concerned with shoring up his flaky leadership.
As a party the results of their whims and gestures within the matrix of identity politics are unimportant with their primary concern more about being seen to be doing good rather than actually doing or achieving anything concrete or beneficial for indigenous Australians in regional and remote areas.
To The Greens it’s all about image, about striking a pose and strutting their conceit and smug moral narcissism in an endeavour to seek relevance with their base. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6408 | This corruption of the familiar phrase about the power of kindness is, perhaps, even more relevant to coping with unsustainability and the continuing deterioration of both human and natural systems. What I mean by philosophy here is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language (from Wikipedia). This list is not at all inclusive. I would make the definition more general by defining philosophy as the study of any serious, pervasive (in time and space), life-nurturing or the opposite issue, perplexing problem.
I am careful in avoiding the use of solving because solving, that is, making the symptoms disappear, is generally only a temporary condition. Permanently getting rid of (some say dissolving) the problem can be done only after we understand what is causing it and, for the class of problems I have just mentioned, it takes some philosophical work to prepare us for the dissolving process. If we can solve a problem simply by applying a method, then that problem is likely not to be pervasive and does not need much, if any, study of its origins. Philosophizing, working through the great problems, always requires reflection, the ability to remove yourself from the midst of the mundane, the ongoing action, in order to step outside of the mental constraints that are always present in the course of action. The pervasiveness of the important problems comes in part, maybe entirely, from failures to do just that—to step outside of the mental models that have been guiding your action.
Many people avoid the use of the word, philosophize, because, for them, it carries an elite, academic, sometimes arrogant, sense. On the other hand, it seems more and more educators and others are calling for “critical thinking.” There is no semantic difference here, both refer to a reflective ability to step outside of the immediate, analytic context of whatever problem is being faced. More practically, systems thinking generally refers to the same thing, putting a problem in a broader context in which the root causes begin to show up. No matter what you call it, big problems, like unsustainability, cannot be effectively addressed without doing it. Critical thinkers cannot merely invoke some method to get at the core. Methods are always some representation of a fixed way of thinking about the world. If we are so lucky that the problem arises from the same context as the method, we may be able to use it to find a way out of wherever we do not want to be. Unsustainability is definitely one of those kinds.
With this preface, I am going to engage in a little philosophizing so that the core arguments I have been making about the quest for flourishing and the related, but very different problem, of ending unsustainability, may make more sense against the prevailing belief structure of modern societies.
Imagine the arrival of our species on the Earth about 200-300,000 years ago. Early humans had many characteristics that have remained a part of our species, but, at best, possessed a primitive, way of communicating, including body and vocal gestures. Language, as we know it, came along a lot later. But even early humans had to be engaged in the world in the same fundamental way we still must today. They needed to interact with the world successfully in terms of survival, and those that did could be said to flourish. Humans were social creatures, which means they possessed some means of coordinating their actions: early on perhaps, by domination with a proverbial two-by-four and, as they evolved, with forms of vocal language. They needed to make the world around them distinct in order to coordinate actions, inventing signs for objects of importance (nouns), for primary actions (verbs), and for orientation (prepositions). If we could propel ourselves back in time and observe them, we might well say, in our vastly richer language, that they are going about taking care of their world.
Care, here, being a word to describe actions stemming from a consciousness of the world and acting, within that consciousness, to create some felicitous outcome, which in their case was simple survival. Everything they knew (retained in their consciousness) about the world was unique because they lacked the ability to create concepts and universals. If they did understand anything meaningful meaning about what they observed, it was only because they could recognize their functions in practice over time.
This is probably not the same story that Heidegger used in developing his ontological description of human being as care, but I believe it gets one to the same place much more directly. He put it into the context of today by arguing that human beings are thrown into the world compressing a 100,000 years of evolution into a single lifetime, and that their coping within that world forms their meaningful existence as human beings. What separates humans from other species, even primates, is that they care, that is, meaningfully interact with the world. Early language probably had signs pointing both to actions to do and to avoid. With the expansion of language, cultures could and did become more complex. At some point, language began to have words that were conceptual in nature; they pointed to distinctions that were not embodied in the world of action.
I am not a student of language so all this is my relatively crude way of thinking about it. I often wonder when and how interrogatives came to be. How did “why” arise? Without why or how, it is hard to imagine how immaterial words arose. Once words could point to immaterial distinctions, it became possible to discover or posit the existence of universals (concepts) and add them to the vocabulary of normal actions. Human being could and did expand beyond merely caring for the material world. We started acting out toward reaching the “good” and similar concepts.
Fast forward to the present. Our actions today are largely shaped by cultural norms that have grown far, far from those that gave human beings their distinctiveness as a species. Our caring, that is, actions characterized by interactions with the world that maintains existence, have been submerged by actions governed by cultural concepts: wealth, status, power, and so on. In that process, we have lost sight of our basic humanness and no longer care about much at all. Fromm, whom I often quote, spoke about being transformed from being to having creatures. Interactions, meaning actions reflecting both the actor and object of the actions, are now only meaningless transactions. There is little or no care present. The focus has shifted almost entirely backwards to the actor with pathological consequences. No one is taking care of the Earth and it is deteriorating. No one is taking care of the myriads of suffering humans on the planet. Many are not even taking care of their own bodies.
It is impossible to predict exactly what would happen if, all of a sudden, people started to care and institutions were redesigned to enable care, but it is essential to begin to do just that. Each new born is the same as every other one. At birth, our babies are exactly as equipped to deal with the world as those of early humans. They are thrown into a more complex world, for sure, but begin life by being cared for. That’s where the comparison ends. Our modern way is to stop caring as soon as we can and begin to rely on technology or other human beings to do the coping for us. Care will not solve our problems by itself, but without the consciousness and connectedness that comes with caring, I believe strongly that we will continue down the path of increasing unsustainability. Money and technology cannot stop the trajectory, but caring just might do the trick. |

It's all rather logical, isn't it? Once you assume that there is no partner for peace, no hope of negotiations progressing (much less succeeding), no reason to believe that Hamas will moderate and no way that the few Palestinian moderates (far fewer than many believe) will affect anything, the continuation and periodic escalation of fighting is hardly surprising. First, a brief review of the facts for those who only pay attention when they issue some wildly inaccurate editorial or proclamation about what is happening: • Israel accepted a Palestinian state in all of the Gaza Strip and almost all of the West Bank in 2000. The Palestinian leadership refused even to negotiate on this basis. • All the Palestinian parties, both Fatah and Hamas, carried out a five-year-long war of terrorism against Israel. • Israel withdrew from all of the Gaza Strip and announced its readiness to withdraw from most of the West Bank. • The Palestinian organization fired about 700 missiles at Israel since 2000, killing about a dozen Israeli civilians. • Both Fatah and Hamas continued their efforts to attack Israel in every way possible. • For six years, the Palestinian Authority, for most of that period under Fatah leadership and for a lot of it under Mahmoud Abbas's reign, did almost nothing to stop anti-Israel (often anti-Semitic) incitement, and absolutely nothing to stop terrorist attacks or the mainstream view that the conflict can only end in Israel's destruction. • Fatah also continued its corruption and incompetence leading to a Hamas election victory in January 2006. • As a way to score partisan points, Abbas endorsed the prisoners' letter which rejected real recognition of Israel and endorsed continued terror attacks in the territories. • Hamas rejected this and then (though it is still not clear whether it did even this) accepted it only on condition that it made explicit the refusal to recognize Israel and to continue attacking Israel with terrorism. • Hamas then declared that its somewhat bogus cease-fire was ended and began open attacks on Israel, including the operation against an IDF position defending a village on Israeli territory, kidnapping a soldier, and kidnapping and murdering an Israeli civilian. Leading Hamas cabinet ministers had previously publicly proclaimed their endorsement of such kidnappings. UP TO this point, Israel showed (too much) restraint for political reasons. Finally, Israel launched an offensive into the Gaza Strip. And, of course, one Hamas leader complained that by doing so Israel had declared war on the Palestinian people! Again, the only thing surprising about this is that some people in the West still don't get it, playing a game of neutrality, pretending that there is still a peace process and fantasizing that there are any Palestinian moderates who matter politically. Yet if both Hamas and the great majority of Fatah are committed to war instead of peace and still engage in the dream of total victory, of course they are going to continue attacking Israel by every possible means. Meanwhile, they embody the story in an Arab proverb: He hits me, starts crying and runs to court to sue me. NEVERTHELESS, DOES this prove that the convergence policy so overwhelmingly endorsed in the last Israeli election is wrong? Absolutely not. For the unspoken assumption of those who say so is that if Israeli forces and settlers had stayed in the Gaza Strip, there would be no attacks and casualties. The point is that with the old policy the casualties and level of fighting would have been higher, attacks into Israel would be taking place equally or more frequently and missiles would still be flying across the border, though in smaller numbers and a more restricted range. It is also misleading to portray the cross-border attack and killing of two Israeli soldiers and kidnapping of a third as some great victory for Hamas. Actually, the need to celebrate what is - albeit a tragedy for the families of Israeli casualties - a minor skirmish. The operation took a long time and a lot of Palestinian resources. Only if Hamas could repeat this kind of thing several times a week would it amount to anything in military terms. The real story is the decline in successful anti-Israel and terrorist operations. Compared to this, the Palestinians have suffered a huge reverse in international terms, lost virtually all their foreign aid and been divided to a greater extent than at any time in the last 40 years. If Israel was still in the Gaza Strip every day, none of this would have happened. Equally, the withdrawal and convergence policy was predicated on precisely the idea that Israeli forces would go back if necessary when Israel decided to send them, rather than be tied down in a daily war of attrition when the forces were vulnerable and badly scattered. No one in Israel seriously thought that the withdrawal would end Palestinian attempts to attack Israel, only that it would make them more difficult. If there was any failure on the part of Israeli policymakers, it was not the withdrawal or convergence idea but rather a reluctance to engage in a new style of active defense, including the use of air-power and targeted attacks on terrorists. And the Israeli army's performance in the Gaza Strip has shown that Israel still has the overwhelming upper hand when it wants to use it. Of course, the Palestinians are ignoring this balance of forces in their typical suicide politics. But that is why Israel shifted its policy in the first place. Whatever happens with the timetable for withdrawals on the West Bank, the important thing is that Israel has gained flexibility by accepting this new strategy in principle. The conflict will go on for years, probably decades, and in this context the choices made by prime ministers Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert as well as Israeli voters on the broad program for this era remain correct. |

Dengue fever presents in a nonspecific manner and may not be distinguishable from other viral or bacterial illness. According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the clinical description of dengue fever is an acute febrile illness of 2-7 days duration associated with 2 or more of the following:
• Severe and generalized headache
• Retro-orbital pain
• Severe myalgias, especially of the lower back, arms, and legs
• Arthralgias, usually of the knees and shoulders
• Characteristic rash
• Hemorrhagic manifestations
• Leukopenia

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6565 | Maybe you’ve heard a bad bottle of wine being described as “corked.” This is the fault of TCA, a chemical compound that contaminates wine barrels and corks, giving vino an odor similar to Grandma’s dirty basement or a wet dog. Corked wine isn’t pleasant, but it certainly sounds more appealing than a bottle filled with witch pee—reportedly a common problem in 16th century Italy, when people thought that witches, after retiring from their midnight parties on the Satanic Sabbath, would break into wine cellars and urinate and defecate in the bottles and casks after drinking their fill. Villages would regularly toss out barrels of wine, convinced they’d been contaminated with unholy excrement.
The northern province of Friuli had some help with the problem. The Benandanti, or Good Walkers, were members of an ancient agrarian cult that believed themselves to be practitioners of white magic, and used their powers to protect vintners and farmers.
Membership in the Benandanti was an accident of birth. Children who emerged from the womb with their faces wrapped in a caul, or a piece of amniotic membrane, were thought to have healing powers and the ability to see witches, making them prime candidates to join the group. As children like this grew, they were said to go into a trance and experience strange visions on specific nights. Around the time a benandante turned 20, another benandante would come to visit them during one of these visions and show them the purpose of the trances. Their spirits would reportedly leave their bodies and ride roosters, goats or other animals through the sky, drinking the neighbors’ wine and joining other Benandanti in the woods.
But that's not all they did: The Benandanti would also battle the witches during their Satanic Sabbath by flanking them and attacking them with stalks of fennel. The witches fought back with stalks of sorghum. If they won the battle, crops would wither, children and animals would get sick, and the town's wine casks would become toilets. If the Benandanti won, though, the nearby villages would be safe and prosperous for the season. The fields would be fertile, the animals healthy, and the wine clean and delicious.
Unfortunately, the Benandanti were active during the Roman Inquisition, which prosecuted scores of people for heresy, blasphemy, sorcery, and witchcraft. Inquisitors investigated the Benandanti and at first claimed them heretics, but ultimately decided that their activity was “benign magic” and not Satanic.
No Benandanti were executed, but the Inquisition’s initial denounciation of them left unpopular with the villagers. They became synonymous with the very witches they fought against, and the cult declined and disappeared, leaving the wine to fend for itself. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6603 | Why does my heel hurt?
Courtesy Anant P. Joshi D.P.M Advanced Foot Care
One of the most common questions I am asked by my patients is, “Why does my heel hurt?”
While there can be many reasons for heel pain, we as foot and ankle surgeons categorize heel pain into four major causes: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, bursitis and nerve pain. Diagnosing the specific issue depends on the exact location of the pain and how the pain affects the mechanical movement of the leg.
The most common cause of the heel pain is plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. When patients suffer from this ailment, the fascia becomes irritated and then inflamed, resulting in heel pain or pain in the arch of the foot. Plantar fascia pain is a tell-tale sign there are mechanical issues going on in how the foot works. We typically treat plantar fasciitis first with nonsurgical strategies, such as stretching exercises; rest; shoe pads and footwear modifications; orthotic devices; night splints and injection therapy. While most patients respond well to conservative treatments, some require surgery to correct the problem.
Achilles tendonitis, or the inflammation of the Achilles tendon, can also be a cause of heel pain. We often see this “overuse” condition in our athletic patients who play high-impact sports, such as basketball or tennis. They often have a sudden increase of repetitive activity involving the Achilles tendon, which puts too much stress on the tendon too quickly, leading to microinjuries of the tendon. To treat Achilles tendonitis, we often immobilize the foot with a walking boot or cast and also use physical therapy, orthotics and ice to help repair the tendon. If the tendon is severely damaged or if nonsurgical treatments don’t work, surgery may be necessary.
Another cause of heel pain commonly seen is bursitis, where the “fat pad” of the heel exhibits redness and swelling from inflammation of the small fluid-filled sac inside the heel, called the bursa. The bursa, which protects the heel from friction, can become inflamed from repetitive motion or irritation from shoes. In the case of bursitis, the heel and the toes are most often affected. Treatment may include resting the foot, ice and anti-inflammatory drug therapy, padding and corticosteroid injections to reduce the inflammation and relieve pain. Surgery may be necessary if conservative methods do not provide relief.
Finally, a somewhat less common cause of heel pain is nerve pain. When the nerves are involved, it feels more like a burning or electrical pain shooting or radiating down the foot from the heel, typically toward the toes. A patient will often tell me their heel “burns.” There are medications that may help with nerve pain, but in this instance, the patient tends to need nerve decompression surgery, a procedure to help “untrap” the nerve causing the pain. These patients tend to have several misdiagnoses before they visit with a foot and ankle surgeon to correctly remedy their pain.
Whatever your heel pain, I always encourage people to see a foot and ankle surgeon for a proper diagnosis. We specialize in only the foot and ankle and our training helps us effectively get to the bottom of what is ailing our patients

the intent of the magician and the result of the spell
I don’t know about magic and white magic, but the dfference between black magic and white magic is that you can practise white magic by drawing on your own energies only, whereas you need to sell a part of your soul to practise black magic. It’s not really very clearly defined.
Joey K
Bad spelling?
dj nkro
One is a lie, and the other is a holier than thou lie.
you use magick when your really into those wichcraft rituals.. i think, not sure, but i’v read some books about them.
if you are just refering to spelling than it is just depending on who is spelling it… if you are refering to white and black magic that it is more or less good and bad magic… there is a lot more to it than that but that is the sipmple answer…
To me, there isn’t a difference. Magick is everything, and everything in between. Why? Because it applies to nature. Nature is both kind and cruel. Of course, if you believe in the Three Fold Law (I do myself), you would never do a spell that causes harm to anyone or anything. Never do a spell to help a person without their permission (such as a healing spell). Also, if it’s a love spell, only do ones to attract everyone, not a specific person. Blessed Be!
To the person referring to the spelling, it’s not spelt wrong. Magic is spelt magick because some witches like to use it to show a difference between real magick and stage magic (card tricks and such).
The difference between magic and white magick differs from what you read and who it is from. The general cocensous seems to be that magic encoumpases all of the abilities of those with “supernatural powers.” While white Magick normally referes most closely to practioners of Earth Worship (ie wiccians) who use natural things from the earth (like Fruit and sticks) rather than abilities that they may posses or other darker things (rituialistic sacrifice).
I hope that helps!
Well, that’s interesting.
There’s stage magic, which is normally just called magic.
There’s focusing your energy on a desired result and letting it go in order to effect changes in the world you perceive, and this is usually called magick, when it isn’t called prayer or giving treatments.
Now, white magick is defined as a number of techniques involved in contacting and/or communing either with God (YHVH) or with whatever gods or goddesses you believe in, and yielding service to the world in the name of such deity.
In my experience however, the ones who succeed at that are mystics, and they are very quiet, and difficult to find.
Those who say they practise white magick seem to be loud, obvious, and use magick every bit as selfishly and aggressively as self-named Dark Mages (there’s nothing wrong with that, except the hypocrasy).
I hope that helps.
White magick is referred to as “true magick,” is the type of magick most wiccans and contemporary pagans choose to practice. It is magick that is positive and used mainly for the good of others. Healing, love matters, spiritual growth, beneficial transformations- these are all that harm none like the previous user answered. The opposite of course is black, which is a term most everyone is familiar with. Both are powerful but white dates back to the Russian gypsies. This is coming from a solitary of over 20 years, so I know. Bright blessings.
chris j
white magick is a term used to tell people thay you do magick but only for good puropses.
it is likely designed to counter the almost constant Black Magic accusations of the christian church.
“Magic” is neutral – it’s a tool. It’s the intent of the caster that makes it “black” or “white”.
Intention. Honestly, that’s it. I personally don’t believe there’s a difference between the two; I’m probably what most would term a “black magician”, but are the healing rituals I perform daily black magic?

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6715 | A do-while loop is similar to a while loop, but the order in which the parts are executed is different.
} while (condition);
llSay(0, "monkey!");
} while (monkeysRemain());
This code will say “monkey!” once, and then continue saying “monkey!” as long as the function monkeysRemain() returns TRUE.
In a do-while loop, the statements are always executed at least once, then the condition is checked, and if it evaluates true, the statements are repeated.
A do-while loop is used to execute the statements one time, and then additional times. For a loop that executes statements only when a specific condition is true, see the while loop.
Finding a time to use this is rare. It’s a wrong solution when I use it (so the section ends up getting re-written). -BW
Accoding to Strife replacing a while loop with a do{}while wrapped in an if statement reduces bytecode size. -Chris
It also executes faster than a while loop, (the bytecode savings is 5 bytes) -BW aka Strife

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6717 | making lunch box
Importance of kids’ lunch boxes
Without a doubt, parents are happy when their kids are healthy. With this, it is the responsibility for each parent to make sure that his or her children eat well. Moreover, the parents should know the importance of lunch boxes. In fact, kids’ lunch boxes are reliable for packing food for children. In addition, there are different types of kids’ lunch boxes. Examples are; metal types, plastic types, aluminum types, stainless types, among others. Below are some of the benefits of using lunch boxes;
boy with lunch box
Lunch boxes encourage safety for food. In fact, food is safer in a lunch box than in an open air since it protects the food from exposure to germs. On the other hand, it is not healthy to leave the food open. It allows bacteria to multiply which may lead to the risk of food poisoning. To avoid this, it is wise to buy your kid a lunch box since it has lead the protects the food. Moreover, lunch boxes help in the storage of food in fridges and freezers in a situation where a parent prepares lunches the night before.
ZXCXZCLunch boxes are designed in a manner, which is easy to open. Apart from that, kids lunch boxes are also easy to use. Actually, no special instructions are needed to be followed when using lunch boxes. In fact, training a child once is enough for them to learn how to use a lunch box.
Variety Of Food
In most cases, lunch boxes are divided into different sections. In fact, various portions of food can be kept in one lunch box. With this, single lunch boxes can contain up to four varieties of food. Thus, our children can save some space in their bags if we let them use lunch boxes.
Additional Nutrients
Nutrients are one of the essential components of a healthy diet. In fact, kids are encouraged to take an extra meal a day. Making children accustomed to taking their lunch boxes to school allows them to have extra nutrients apart from their regular food at school. As expected, additional nutrients allow extra energy; thus, causing the active tissue ready for use
In conclusion, it is our mandate as parents to secure a healthy environment for our children. In addition, a healthy surrounding makes our children be in a better position grow. On the other hand, our kids are more likely to encounter some problems due to an unclean environment. Moreover, we must always make sure that our kids are eating healthy meals especially if they are at school.…

Hey there, folks, I'm Ashe Armstrong, author of the Grimluk, Demon Hunter series. If you're here, you might've read one of my books and enjoyed it enough you wanted to look at other ways of supporting me. Or maybe you found me randomly and my work seems interesting enough to consider reading and supporting.
I write genre fiction. Horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and all the permutations and mishmashes thereof. If you're unfamiliar with my Grimluk series, I like to call it sixguns & sorcery. There's western elements in the use of Wild West era technology and tropes. Horror elements in the form of demons and monsters. And, of course, a whole lot of fantasy elements. Grimluk is a big ol' orc with a big ol' gun.
More recently, I've decided to branch out into game design. After getting deep into Dungeons & Dragons, I took to homebrew. I've also developed a strong desire to make a video game. I currently have some homebrew items up on DM's Guild. And while I've always enjoyed cooking, I'm hoping to explore the culinary world more thoroughly as a giant with diabetes.
Well, if you're familiar with the site, then that's fairly obvious. I create and I'd like to make money doing it and I'd very much like to find more ways to make that money as a creator. I do everything myself as a self-publishing author. I've had three successful crowdfunding campaigns. I've hired out for art and editing. I do all my own formatting. I run my website. I do my own advertising. I like it but it's hard to earn enough in the arts, especially given some of my needs. I'm diabetic, have sleep apnea, and deal with various amounts of chronic pain due to old injuries and joint issues. All combined, it means I have a restricted diet and monthly prescription costs to keep myself functional. I'm doing my best.
With just $1 a month, you will have Early Access to all the content I post, with exclusive access to details and snippets of current novels. This includes lore posts, worldbuilding, D&D homebrew content, and, when its affordable, cooking posts. Eventually, once I've got a better computer, this will include video game design.
On top of that, for $25, I'd be happy to take a request for a short story each month, and I will occasionally have non-requested stories as well. All requested stories will have a max of 2000 words (time/energy management on my part). If your request isn't a concept, and you just want a story with a protagonist named after you, I can do that, as well, though in that case, I may add your name into another story.
That's what you'll get. That's what I'll get. Hopefully everyone enjoys themselves. Whatever your choice, thank you for your time.
$190.44 of $250 per month
This would put me on a path to being a lot more comfortable and financially stable.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6844 | What is Convolutional Neural Networks - An Introduction
A Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is a multi layered neural network with a special architecture to detect complex features in data. It is a type of artificial neural network used in image recognition and processing that is specially designed to process pixel data.
CNNs are powerful image processing, artificial intelligence that use deep learning to perform both generative and descriptive tasks. In this article we will see how CNN classifies images.
Convolutional Neural Networks
Convolutional Neural Networks
With CNN we can build a classifier which can correctly classify whether the given image is that of a lion or a tiger.
Lets see how CNN works:
1. Convolution
There are three important items in this process : the input image, the feature detector and the feature map. The input is the image being detected. The feature detector is a matrix usually 3x3. It could also be 7x7. The feature detector can also be referred as kernel or filter.
The matrix representation of the input image is multiplied element-wise with the feature detector to produce a feature map. The aim of this step is to reduce the size of the image and make processing faster and easier. Some of the features of the image are lost in this step. However the main features of the image are retained.
2. Applying ReLu (Rectified Linear Unit)
In this step we will apply ReLu (Rectified Linear Unit) to increase non-linearity in the CNN. With out applying this function the image classification will be treated as a linear problem while it is actually a non-linear one.
3. Pooling
Pooling enables the CNN to detect features in various images irrespective of the difference in lighting in the pictures and different angles of the images. There are different types of pooling such as max pooling and min pooling.
Max pooling works by placing a matrix of 2x2 on the feature map and picking the largest value in that box. The 2x2 matrix is moved from left to right through the entire feature map picking the largest value in each pass. These values then forms a new matrix called a pooled feature map.
Max pooling works by preserving the main features and at the same time reducing the size of image. This prevents over-fitting.
4. Flattening
Flattening involves transforming the entire pooled feature map matrix into a single column which is then fed to the neural network for processing.
5. Full Connection
The flattened feature map is passed through a neural network. This step is made up of input layer, fully connected layer and the output layer. The fully connected layer is similar to the hidden layer in ANNs but in this case it's fully connected. The output layer is where we get the predicted classes.
The information is passed through the network and the error of prediction is calculated. The error is then back propagated through the system to improve the prediction.
The final figure produced don't usually add up to one. It is important that these figures are brought down to number between zero and one, which represents the probability of each class. This is done by the Soft-max function.
So finally if the output is 0 it will be lion and if it is 1 it will be tiger. |

What to write in our Findings
Our findings chapter is where, based upon the methodology we described in the previous chapter, we report what we found.
Sometimes called 'results', the findings section simply describes our data, logically arranged, without bias or interpretation. We don't attempt to apply meaning to our data in this chapter. We simply report what is (University of Southern California, n.d.).
When undertaking qualitative research, Wolcott (2008, p. 27) says "Give your account a firm footing in description". He suggests:
"Description provides the foundation upon which qualitative inquiry rests. Unless you prove to be gifted at conceptualizing or theorizing, the descriptive account will usually constitute the major contribution you have to make. The more solid the descriptive basis, the more likely it will survive changing fads and fashions in reporting or changing emphases in how we derive meaning from our studies."
Analysing our data in our findings helps us "to understand the problem from within, to break it into pieces, and to view the research problem from various perspectives" (University of Southern California, n.d.). We need to look for themes, ways of grouping or clustering our data that starts to make sense of what our research participants have told us.
We should ignore data that doesn't help us to answer our research question, and tell the story of what we HAVE found simply, briefly, and clearly. To answer our research question, as part of being brief, we can use "figures and tables, to present results more effectively". However, we shouldn't include non-summarised raw data, because that will not adequately describe what we have found (University of Southern California, n.d.).
Non-summarised or unanalysed data is simply a data-dump. It adds no context to help the reader understand the evidence that we have collected. Without that understanding, we will not be able to expand our argument in our discussion chapter into meaning.
However, we do have to be careful that we do not get confused between description and meaning. As Wolcott says, there is a "subtle but critical distinction between observed and inferred behavior" (2008, p. 28). In this chapter, we stay with 'observed'.
Think of the results section as the place where you report what your study found; think of the discussion section as the place where you interpret your data and answer the "So What?" question (University of Southern California, n.d.).

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/6918 | Hey Siri – Are you listening?
iPhone with Hello text on screen
“Hi, I’m Siri! Your virtual assistant.”
I’ll admit, I am an avid Siri user!. Carrying a little one around all the time often leaves me without two hands to type on my phone and I hate how slow one hand typing is. So, ever since my son was born, I have started using Siri for a lot of things; I use Siri (referred to as her in the rest of the post) to check my calendar, turn on/off lights, track my baby’s diapers and naps, add items to my grocery list, get directions, send text messages and to make phone calls etc. Come to think of it, I don’t know what I don’t use Siri for..
Last week, I heard on the news that Siri is listening in (or spying) on us even when we didn’t ask her for something by using the wake word “Hey Siri”. I wasn’t surprised by this news story. Even though Apple (maker of Siri), didn’t comment, I want to tell you that you don’t have to wait for a comment from Apple to trust whether the news is true or not. Technology like Siri is there to make our lives easier and sometimes that comes at a price (our privacy).
If you are using any sort of smart device, it probably is sharing some of our your private information (your voice, your location etc.) with the maker of the device. This private information is used to make the device smarter and is often available to the engineers working on the technology. And this private information can sometimes leak to unwanted parties if the companies aren’t careful.
Key Take Away – Assume someone is always listening and don’t buy a smart speaker if you are worried about privacy.

We can then use these images to assess the condition of the internal organs such as the heart or kidneys or sometimes to look if one of our patients has swallowed something that they shouldn’t have (a foreign body). |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7018 | Many slip-and-fall victims will feel relieved that they “just” jammed their hands or fingers during their accident. However, many of these victims end up in the emergency room days later, only to find that their “minor” injuries may take weeks or even months to heal properly.
Injuries You May Suffer if You Landed on Your Hand After a Fall
Your hand contains over two dozen bones and many more ligaments, any one of which can be broken or torn as a result of bracing a fall. The most common fractures victims may suffer when landing on their outstretched hands include:
• Broken hand. There are many bones that make up the hand. The metacarpals run from your wrist to the base of the fingers, and can be broken at any point along the hand. Metacarpals are often broken in more than one place, and can result in pain when making a fist if the bones do not heal properly.
• Broken fingers. If your fingers absorbed most of the impact, you may have suffered tiny fractures in the bones of your fingers (called phalanges). Each of your fingers contains three separate bones (each thumb has two bones), and victims may suffer multiple fractures due to the stress, weight, and angle of the fall. A broken finger can cause significant loss of function even after it has healed. Your finger may be shorter after the break, point in a different direction, or be unable to bend after healing.
• Broken wrist. If you fell directly on the palm of your hand, you may have suffered a fracture to the scaphoid bone. The scaphoid is the wrist bone at the base of the thumb, and is the point where the bones of the arm come together with the hand to form the wrist joint. In many cases, victims do not realize that their scaphoid bone has fractured in the fall; they may assume that they have sprained their wrists. However, a broken scaphoid will often cause the wrist to swell and become extremely painful in the days after the accident, at which point the victim may need surgery using screws to stabilize the bone as it heals.
Will You Need Hand Surgery After Your Fall?
Surgery for a broken hand depend on the extent of your injury. For minor breaks, a doctor may be able to realign the bones without surgery, and then brace the bones with a cast to allow them to heal straight. If your bones have been broken in several places, your doctor may use pins or screws to hold the bone together as it heals. In most cases, doctors will continue to x-ray your hand during the healing process to make sure the bones are maintaining their proper position as they knit back together.

Science and technology is the best thing society could ever ask for. Among our priorities is dedication to a thorough offering of primary courses in mathematics and natural and physical sciences, along with supporting courses for students in outside academic areas, and the opportunity for students to concentrate studies in a major field of science, technology, or engineering.
This long-standing multifaceted program aims to give people a keener appreciation for the increasingly scientific and technological world in which we live and to convey some of the challenges and rewards of the scientific and technological enterprise.
People, who are already having a Master ‘s degree but want to pursue further studies in information technology, can also opt for this course. Technological optimism 39 – The opinion that technology has positive effects on society and should be used in order to improve the welfare of people.

History Of Science Technology Medicine
The evolution of science is like a boon to the world, as human beings come to know a lot about the world they are living in including the activities they indulge into. A study of gender differences in spatial relations skills of engineering students in the U.S. and Brazil found that there was a large disparity between the skills of female and male students. Science, Technology and Medicine, 1780-1925 enables researchers to trace the emergence and dissemination of scientific ideas during the “long” nineteenth century that preceded 1800 and extended to 1925.

Get The Sims 4 free today on PC with EA Origin
Image Credit: EA
Perennial life simulator The Sims 4 is currently free to download on the EA Origin PC gaming store.
Letting you create little families of digital people, helping to tend to their needs and achieve their dreams and desires, it's a great deal for the 2014 game, which still otherwise retails for £34.99 / $44.99.
Grabbing the game is simple – all you need to do is head over to the game's Origin store page, log-in or sign up for an Origin account, and hit the button that adds The Sims 4 to your account.
Re-learning Simlish
Despite following the same addictive core loop of caring for your Sims, having them earn some money and designing their dream cribs, The Sims 4 had a bit of a mixed reception at launch.
Compared to The Sims 3, which had been available for many years prior to The Sims 4, and had accrued a ton of expansion content as a result, The Sims 4 seemed a little lightweight, ditching much-loved features like The Sims 3's open-world style neighbourhoods in favour of a more focussed and compact play style.
Close to five years on and it's a very different story, with The Sims 4 bursting at the seams thanks to six expansion packs, seven Game Packs, 14 Stuff Packs, loads of free updates and an ever-growing library of user-generated content. While it's worth noting that much of the above content still requires separate purchases, at least you're now able to jump in and experiment, knowing that there's more to unlock if that core game still grabs you.
You've got until May 28 to download The Sims 4 for free, at which point it'll revert back to its usual, paid-for status. |

Drag365: #4- Coco Taylor
Name: Coco Taylor
Where can we find you out and about?: I’m at Rockbar every Tuesday at 9pm hosting my show Cuckoo for Coco.
Why Drag?: Because TheaterWorks USA stopped calling.
What made you start drag?: The first bite was the penultimate Fire Island Drag Party. Then New York Comic Con and a handful of local competitions where unwitting audience members paid me cash to act a fool.
Who are you drag inspirations?: The comedy queens of yesteryear: Coco Peru, Varla Jean Merman, Evie Harris and Dina Martina to name a few.
Your favorite part of drag is _____?: When a joke or mix lands with an audience and they scream.
What is your number one makeup secret?: Alcone Stop The Sweat. You don’t know how many eyebrows I lost to perspiration before finding that.
The three must haves of drag are _____?: Mine are all non-physical: wit, intelligence and empathy.
Who are some of your favorite drag artists, designers, stylists, producers, etc. to collaborate with?: I love Perspective Beats for hair. DJ JClef is my rock during my shows. Nicole Onoscopi is always ready to dive clown-feet in first.
What has been the most rewarding moment in your drag career?: Hosting the Miss Rockbar contest and seeing the diversity (and multitude) of queens competing was a huge accomplishment.
If you were to do one character on Snatch Game, who would it be and why?: Katharine Hepburn. Easy to make her funny and I’ve already done her once.
How can drag change the world?: Opening people’s eyes to new experiences and new ideas.
What is the biggest tip you can give a queen starting out today?: Be patient and be selective. You’ll be tempted to always buy another dress, buy another palette, kill yourself to be out every night. Growing yourself and your aesthetic is important.
Social Media: @CocoTaylorNYC. Coco Taylor because of my name, NYC because I often forget where I live.
To see more of Coco, follow @titndrag365! |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7150 | Install RocketChat with Docker Compose for Development
If you ask me: what the hell Rocketchat is, then you should better ask Google. This article notes steps to install RocketChat with Docker Compose for development purpose.
1. Create docker-compose.yml
I want to expose the mongo port (27017) to the host network so I also declare it in the ports param. I also map the default rocketchat port (3000) to port 4000 in the host since I am using port 3000 for another service.
version: "3"
image: mongo
- 27017:27017
- ./data/runtime/db:/data/db
- ./data/dump:/dump
command: mongod --smallfiles --oplogSize 128
- rcnet
image: rocketchat/
- MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo/rocketchat
- ROOT_URL=http://chat.localhost
- PORT=3000
- rcnet
- 4000:3000
- mongo
driver: bridge
2. Start services
It is worth noting that you need to start mongo and rocketchat sequentially. If you simply run docker-compose up, the rocketchat service cannot recognize mongo service is completely started, so it fails since there is no retry after that. Even if you put the depends info in the docker-compose.yml, it still fails. The following error will appear:
MongoError: failed to connect to server [mongo:27017] on first connect [MongoError: connect ECONNREFUSED]
So, you should start mongo service first, and then start the rocketchat service as follows:
docker-compose up -d mongo
docker-compose up -d rocketchat

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7159 | Dr. Ran Huo is a medical dermatologist who can identify and treat all types of medical conditions that cause changes in your skin, hair, or nails. Medications, minimally invasive procedures, diagnostic tools, and sometimes surgery may be utilized to treat skin disease.
Skin cancer is a major concern for many patients who see Dr. Huo. Though it is the most common form of cancer, it is highly treatable, so do not hesitate to call Broward Dermatology in Pembroke Pines, FL if you have any concerns about your skin.
Broward Dermatology also has the privilege of having an in-house dermatopathologist, who can quickly and accurately diagnose skin conditions from biopsies when appropriate.
Dr. Huo believes in educating his patients on how to self-manage their skin condition so they can maintain healthy and clear skin every day through prevention and maintenance. He invites you to explore his comprehensive list of resources and educational materials designed to help educate you about the various medical dermatology conditions treated by Broward Dermatology. Browse the list below to learn more.
Acne develops most frequently in teenagers because of hormonal changes, although acne can occur at any age. Females may develop acne in association with their menstrual period or birth control-related hormones. Other risk factors for acne include:
• Pregnancy
• Skin friction
• Oily products (cosmetics) applied to skin
• Heredity
• Excessive sweating
• Significant acne can lead to scarring.
We treat your child with special care and compassion when diagnosing and treating his or her skin problem. Education about skin disease and prevention of symptoms is important, and Dr. Huo can talk to your child in a way he or she understands.
Common childhood skin conditions we treat include eczema, dry skin / itchy skin, birthmarks (hemangiomas), diaper rash, cradle cap, insect sting allergy, and more.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and a history of childhood sunburns are the main causes of most skin cancers.
Luckily, skin cancer that is detected and treated early is very curable. Skin cancer can develop on normal skin, injured skin, or moles. Melanoma can develop on the skin, in a mole, or in the iris or retina of the eye.
You should look for changes in the shape, texture, size, or color of a mole or new skin growth. Skin cancer may look like a sore that does not heal. Cancerous moles or skin areas may also develop pain, swelling, itching, and bleeding.
It is important to have regular skin and mole checks by a dermatologist, and educate yourself about skin cancer. Mohs surgery is most frequently used to treat skin cancers, including basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and melanoma.
If Dr. Huo believes surgery is needed for your condition, all the options will be discussed so that you feel fully prepared to make a decision about your treatment. Some of the most common dermatological surgery procedures include cryosurgery, electrosurgery, and excisional surgery to remove skin lesions and areas of skin affected by cancer.
If you have a family history of eczema, you or your child have a higher risk of developing this condition. Eczema is associated with allergies, asthma, and hay fever. Chronic eczema can lead to bacterial skin infections or scarring.
Dermatologist Ran Huo, MD can examine your skin and collect a skin biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Special skin care products with medication are used to control eczema, and Dr. Huo will recommend a regime for you.
Melasma causes brown or grayish-brown patches to appear on parts of the skin that get lots of sun, such as the face. Sun exposure and hormones seem to trigger this condition. Women are far more likely to get melasma than men, and it is very common during pregnancy.
Symptoms of melasma often go away on their own, or within a couple of months with treatment, but some people deal with melasma for a very long time and need to follow a maintenance care plan to protect their skin.
Hair loss, also referred to as alopecia or balding, is a common condition. In most cases, hair loss is inherited and requires the presence of certain hormones to occur. Other causes of hair loss include trauma, stress, certain medications, some medical conditions, and poor nutrition.
Hair loss can occur following a severe illness or fever. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments used for cancer can also cause temporary hair loss. Treatment of underlying medical conditions usually resolves hair loss caused by illness.
Warts are caused by viruses and are highly contagious. They are typically small painless growths that appear on the outer layer of the skin. Warts can take several months to appear after the virus is contracted.
Moles are dark spots that appear on the skin. Most moles are harmless; however, some moles can undergo changes and become precancerous or turn into skin cancer.
Sunlight exposure plays a role in mole development and changes. There appears to be a hereditary component as well. If your close family members have had abnormal moles, you have an increased risk also.
Skin tags are common harmless growths that appear on the outer layer of the skin. Skin tags develop in skin folds or areas affected by friction or skin on skin rubbing, and seem to be associated with aging, being overweight, having diabetes, and a family history of skin tags.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, causes a person to sweat uncontrollably. People with hyperhidrosis may have overactive sweat glands, causing them to sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest.
This condition seems to run in families. Excessive perspiration may also be the result of another medical condition or a side effect of medication. A dermatologist can prescribe medication and perform minimally invasive procedures to stop excessive sweating.
A variety of nail conditions can be treated in a dermatology office, including ingrown toenails that cause pain. Symptoms of other diseases can cause nail discoloration, cuticle changes, shape changes, and other changes in your nails.
In fact, any changes in your skin, hair, or nails can be indicative of a nutrient deficiency or potential disease, so seeking medical attention is always a good idea. Medical dermatologists can identify and treat the cause of skin, hair, and nail conditions.
There are several skin conditions you need to watch out for. The most common ones are:
Dermatitis – Also known as eczema, dermatitis is an umbrella term for a group of skin conditions related to inflammation of dry skin (in some cases non-dry skin is also susceptible). You can suspect eczema if you have a rash on your skin followed by itching. The itching sensation can be intensive, and affect your sleep or general lifestyle. This condition affects all parts of the skin and people of all ages, but most vulnerable are children up to the age of 12.
Skin tumor – The types of tumors that affect the skin include benign tumors, precancerous tumors, malignant tumors (carcinoma and melanoma), and tumors that come from different organs. The main causes of tumors and skin cancer are UV rays, various chemical substances, genetic disorders, and diseases.
Pruritus – Commonly known as itching, pruritus is an unspecified symptom, but not an illness of its own. This doesn’t mean it should be ignored or treated lightly. We have all experienced itching at one period, an unpleasant sensation that makes us scratch ourselves.
Although harmless in most cases, sometimes it can indicate a disease. The two types of itching you should be aware of are acute itching and chronic itching. Acute itching lasts up to 6 weeks and it’s mostly caused by allergic or infective factors. Chronic itching lasts longer than 6 weeks and can be linked with more severe diseases

Happy Summer Y'all! I'm diving into pool maintenance since things are heading south and my pool maintenance contract is very very basic. First up is my SWG. It is an AquaRite, with a T-15 cell. Last fall it gave up the ghost - none of the LED lights come on, though the alphanumeric readout is still alive, and the diagnostic button still cycles though the different parameters. I've cycled the power to no avail. I had the salt cell tested, and it's ok. It is only a couple of years old. However, the controller is about 9 years old. I see I can buy the guts of the controller, but I want to make sure there's not something simpler I can do first. Would anyone here have a troubleshooting guide? What additional information can I provide?

For AquaRite, move the switch from auto to off and check all of the readings.
Move the switch back to auto and recheck the readings.
Move the switch to off for a minute and then back to auto and recheck the readings.
Report all readings.
What are the first seven characters of the cell and box serial numbers?
What is the actual salinity and how are you measuring it?
What is the T-cell size?
To get the performance percentage of the cell, divide the instant salinity reading by the actual salinity reading.
You need to be really sure about the actual salinity reading.
You need to use a K-1766 salt test kit or a calibrated meter.
K-1766 Taylor Salt Test
This salt test is very dependable and repeatable. Care must be taken to observe the endpoint precisely. An overshoot of the endpoint will invalidate the results. Read instructions carefully.
Pressing the diagnostic button sequentially will display:
• Default salt display
• Pool temp
• Cell Voltage - When not generating, the voltage is about 30 to 32 volts dc. When generating, the voltage drops about 1 volt per amp of current.
• Cell current
• Desired output (% of the knob)
• Instant salinity
• Product name
• Software revision (r.XX)
If the voltage is below 30 while the cell is off or below 24 while the cell is on, the thermistor is probably bad, especially if the voltage is going up and down.

Thanks for the quick reply! Here go the diagnostics: (they were pretty much the same for off, auto, auto after cycling off 1 minute)
Salt - 3400
Temp - 86
Cell V - 9.6
Call amp - 0
Output - 62p (knob was set to 50)
Salinity - 0
Product - AL-0
Software rev - r1.58
Cell - T-15
The number on the control board PCB - G1-011056-1 Rev B
I am assuming the salinity of the pool is very low, since I have been running chlorine tabs since the fall. I don't have a handy way to test the salinity right now.
The Cell is a T-15
From your write-up it sounds like a bad thermistor?
Thanks again,

I have replaced the thermistor as the video above shows but you have to be a little handy with the soldering iron to do it.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7211 | Basic Software for CAN Communication
OEM-Specific Embedded Software Components
Since 1992, Vector has been offering CANbedded software components, which are now used globally by nearly all OEMs. There is hardly a vehicle with CAN or LIN networking that does not utilize any CANbedded software components. This makes CANbedded a very reliable foundation for your ECU.
Vector CANbedded basic software lets ECUs exchange information over the CAN bus. As a part of the ECU software, it handles communication-related tasks as specified by the OEM. With CANbedded, your ECU is able to efficiently communicate with other ECUs in the vehicle and with an external service tester. CANbedded is available in variants for most OEMs and for a large number of microcontrollers.
CANbedded lets users focus their efforts completely on their functional software, because the CANbedded stack handles OEM-conformant sending and receiving of messages over CAN. Vector offers OEM-specific CANbedded variants for most OEMs.
• Generated source code that is scalable and application-specific
• Low memory requirement and fast runtimes
• Supports most hardware platforms
• Available in platform-specific and OEM-specific variants
• Clearly defined and uniform interfaces
• Easy to port to other platforms and OEMs
• Easy to integrate in your ECU software
Application Areas
The use of uniform communication protocols is absolutely necessary when setting up networks in a vehicle. The use of standardized software components ensures easy portability and reliable integration of ECUs in the vehicle’s network for the automotive OEM and its suppliers. In addition, the software components lead to a substantial reduction in development costs.
The use of CANbedded in all of a networks ECUs assures compatibility of all communication stacks. This reduces development costs and test efforts. The CAN driver as a hardware-specific component is available in an optimized version for many different hardware platforms (8 to 64 bit controllers).
An alternative to CANbedded is the use of AUTOSAR basic software. With the associated Vector product MICROSAR you get a mature solution with many useful extensions. We support you in selecting the best solution for your specific use case.
CANbedded provides simple interfaces (APIs) that are identical for all applications. If possible, the API is standardized over all OEM and hardware variants. This lets the user quickly and conveniently integrate CANbedded in the ECU software. The CANbedded components route asynchronous events such as receiving of CAN messages, bus wake-up or different error states (Assertions) to the application by means of configurable callback functions. You can configure the precise set of generated APIs and callbacks to ideally adapt them to the needs of your specific application. The Vector tool chain optimally supports you here.
The CAN driver provides an interface for higher software layers that is as hardware independent as possible. This enables platform-independent use or re-use of the higher software layers.
All necessary settings such as parameters for the hardware acceptance filter or Bus Timing Register are made at configuration time. The configuration tool GENy from Vector offers preselections for configuring these filters and registers. The following basic functions are provided by the CAN driver:
• Initialization of the CAN controller
• Sending of CAN messages
• Receiving of CAN messages
• Overrun and error handling (Bus-off)
• Notification via wake-up events
Show more
The IL is available in OEM-specific variants and operates signal-oriented. It is responsible for:
• Sending messages depending on the send types of the signals they contain (Cyclic, OnEvent, IfActive, etc.)
• Timeout monitoring of Rx messages and signals
• Notification of sending and receiving of signals
Show more
The main task of Network Management is to manage the sleep and wake-up states of a network’s ECUs. This functionality is handled by the NM CANbedded software component, which is available in different variants. Depending on OEM requirements, either OSEK NM, AUTOSAR NM or another OEM-specific NM algorithm is used.
Show more
By default, the CANbedded Transport Protocol conforms to ISO 15765-2. OEM-specific TP variants are also available, e.g. VWTP or MCNet. The ISO 15765-2 conformant variant is available in either the 1999 variant or the 2004 variant and can be delivered with different addressing methods (Normal, Extended, Normal fixed, Mixed).
Show more
The CCL simplifies integration of the CANbedded software components in your ECU software, such as CAN driver, IL, TP, NM, and other CANbedded options Gateway, J1939 and CANdesc. It manages defined system states (PowerOn, StartUp, ShutDown, Stop/Sleep, Normal) as well as communication states (Net request, Net release). The CCL offers the following functions:
• Initializing the CANbedded software components
• Coordination of state transitions (WakeUp and GotoSleep)
• Calling periodic functions of the CANbedded software components such as Timer Tasks or State Tasks.
• Controlling the bus transceiver
Show more
MICROSAR.OS from Vector is a preemptive real-time multitasking operating system with properties that are optimized for use in microcontrollers. The AUTOSAR specification for operating systems according to scalability class 1 is based on the OSEK/VDX standard. That is why MICROSAR.OS gives you an alternative even for non-AUTOSAR environments.
Show more
Useful Extensions
Extend the CANbedded stack with additional basic software from Vector for your specific application.
To exchange data between different networks (CAN-CAN, CAN-LIN), a gateway ECU is needed that only transports to the other network those messages or signals that are actually needed.
Selectable coupling of CAN and/or LIN networks with user-definable routing relationships
• Mature standard software component
• Solid, lean and efficient foundation for your gateway ECU
• Available for a large number of OEMs
The CANbedded Gateway contains complex mechanisms for receiving all messages and signals and then sending them to another network under consideration of filter and conversion rules. Users can select from:
• Signal routing
• Message routing (with/without data queue)
• TP (Transport Protocol) routing
Show more
CANdesc and DEM - Software Components for Diagnostics
The diagnostic software component CANdesc (desc = diagnostic embedded software component) is the uniform implementation of the diagnostic protocol for different automotive OEMs. CANdesc is generated according to the configuration based on the diagnostic specification (CDD file). To implement the error memory, you can extend CANdesc with the DEM component, which gives you a fully diagnostic solution for your ECU.
CANdesc provides a signal-based interface as a uniform interface to the application. This simplifies interfacing of diagnostics to your ECU software.
DEM: As soon as the application software detects errors, it must initiate saving of the related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The DEM component can be used for this task.
CANdesc and DEM are available for a number of different OEMs. An OEM independent version is also available. CANbedded is available for UDS, CANdesc supports both KWP2000 and UDS.
Diagnostic Tools
Vector offers a universal diagnostics tool chain for tasks ranging from definition of diagnostic functionality to execution of flash processes and diagnostic requests.
Show more
XCP Professional
Automotive in-vehicle ECUs are measured, calibrated, and tested with the XCP Protocol (Universal Calibration Protocol) – the successor to CCP (CAN Calibration Protocol). By clearly differentiating the Protocol Layer and Transport Layer, XCP is able to support many different bus systems.
On the PC side, the CANape or CANoe tool is used as the XCP master. Its counterpart in the ECU is the XCP slave. This is implemented by the XCP Professional software component. It not only contains the ASAM functional content, but useful extensions as well.
Show more
Identities are used to identify ECUs. It determines which variant of the ECU should be activated (e.g. which door side). An
identity is the configuration of an ECU that is active at runtime, and it is based on a description file. The identity is set when the ECU is initialized. When tracking the development of ECUs in automobiles, one trend is clearly evident – ECUs are becoming increasingly more powerful. At the same time, the number of variants is growing drastically, which is reflected in the growing effort required to manage them and also results in growing costs.
Cost savings are realized by reducing administrative effort. This can only be achieved with the assistance of intelligent
solutions that can manage the many different variants. Based on our many years of working together with automotive OEMs and suppliers, Vector knows these continually recurring use cases well and has developed optimized solutions especially for them, to simplify the development of ECUs, reduce administrative effort and finally to thereby save on costs.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7234 | Zenwalk vs iloog on an ancient Compaq laptop
Testing Zenwalk version 4.2 on an ancient Compaq Presario 1260 Laptop (AMD K6@333 with 64Mb RAM).
0) Install CD Boots pretty fast
1) Autopartition does not work, or it did not work for me. I’ve tried it two times both giving me an empty partition table thus being unable to continue the installation.By the way, why does it need at least 1Gb of swap space ?
2) Why can’t netpkg use more than one mirror concurrently since they’ve got different packages ? I’ve tried to select 2 mirrors from the menu but I didn’t work. Am I doing something wrong ?
3) XFCE was not light enough for this ancient laptop. I tried disabling various stuff from the panels…but it was still very slow to work with. So I used netpkg (from the command line) to add Fluxbox. Fluxbox was a lot faster than XFCE but still applications were pretty slow to start.
4) There was no APM support on the kernel. No battery status for the laptop 🙁
Overall I think that zenwalk is an “ok” distro but it’s still pretty rough around the edges. It still need some slackware-ish hacks to behave like it should.
The good part about Zenwalk testing was that it made me “install” iloog on a hard disk for the first time, so I could compare the two. Zenwalk and iloog.
I booted the iloog livecd,
a) rsynced /(root) to /mnt/hda2,
b) mount /proc, /sys to /mnt/hda2 and chrooted to it,
c) changed /etc/fstab to suit the laptop’s hard disk (beware to remove some of the noexec, nosuid options),
d) created a /etc/lilo.conf from /etc/lilo.conf.example and ran “lilo”
e) disabled some init scripts needed by the livecd for autoconfiguration
f) rebooted
and … the result was very very good. Applications start in a lot less time than they start with zenwalk and are generally more responsive. Firefox, for example, is actually usable in iloog in contrast with zenwalk where there was no way to use it…it took around 1 minute just to start it! I didn’t expect to see such a difference because zenwalk is supposed to be a “light” distro specifically for old machines (ok, maybe not as old as mine :P)
The bad thing is that since iloog is based on gentoo, it is almost impossible to emerge new applications on that laptop while it is very easy to do so with zenwalk using netpkg. It may be possible to install new application on iloog with a) distcc but it requires another strong PC to act as the “compiler PC” , b) by getting binary packages from another user’s repo (that sounds more like science fiction) debianizing the gentoo/iloog.
If anyone has an ancient laptop, like the one I have, he/she might want to give iloog a shot. It may revive it…
P.S. All that may be a bit biased towards iloog since I am the one developing it. I still think though that iloog is more suited as a livecd for educational/scientific purposes than as an installable meta-meta-distro (since gentoo is already a meta-distro). Once you actually install it to your hard disk it’s not iloog any more…but gentoo.
P.S.2. The latest iloog beta is here: . If anyone tests iloog livecd please leave a comment.

I want to “install” iloog to my hard disk so i rsynced / to /mnt/hda9 but now i want some help to add it to grub menu..
Thanks a lot

As there are so many changes to be done in order to install iloog locally on a hard disk I don’t think it’s appropriate to give instructions for novice users. There are many small details and something could go wrong and have an unbootable system.
Until iloog has (if ever) it’s own hard disk install script the previous post is the only “guide” I will provide.
Better safe than sorry 🙂

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7269 | A crisscross ponytail is a chic and sophisticated hairdo that proves that ponytails aren’t only a causal hairstyle. There are several ways that you can make a crisscross ponytail hairstyle, ranging from making one simple twist above the ponytail to arranging a series of twists, giving the look even more elegance and intricacy. With just a hair tie, a few bobby pins and a little bit of patience, you can elevate your everyday ponytail to a trendy and chic look fit for anywhere from the gym to a fancy party.
Method 1 of 3:
Making a Single Knot Crisscross Ponytail
1. 1
Make a low ponytail with the back section of your hair. This single knot ponytail is a subtle and versatile hairstyle that is extremely easy to do. Begin by gathering the hair behind your ears and securing it in a low ponytail with a clear elastic band, while the hair at your temples loose. The two loose sections should each be about the width of two fingers.[1]
• If you normally brush your hair before putting it in a ponytail, do so before making the low ponytail. Brushing your hair gives your style a sleeker look, while keeping it un-brushed will give it more texture and hold.
• Using a clear elastic helps the elastic blend in with the hair, but you can your normal hair elastic if you aren’t worried about it showing. Use a fiber-wrapped elastic for a tighter ponytail.[2]
2. 2
Mist the two sections of hair with hairspray. Hairspray gives your hair more texture and hold, which especially important for this look because extra hold is needed to keep the hair you will knot from unravelling.[3]
3. 3
Knot the loose sections of hair together. After you mist the two sections of hair with hairspray, pull both of the hair sections away from your face and over the base of the ponytail. Cross the sections one over the other and pull the bottom section through the other in the half-knot. Make sure the knot is directly over the hair elastic so that the hair elastic is hidden.[4]
4. 4
Wrap the loose pieces behind the ponytail. After you knot the sections of hair at the base of the ponytail, wrap the two sections of loose hair behind the base of the ponytail so that they are behind the hair elastic.[5]
5. 5
Pin the strands under the base of the ponytail. Once you have wrapped the sections of hair around the hair tie, pin the sections of hair under the base of your ponytail at the back of your head to secure your style. If you have especially long hair, tuck the ends of your hair into the pulled back hair at the back of your head to hide them. Give your hair a quick spray of hairspray if you wish to make your hairstyle last all day![6]
Method 2 of 3:
Doing a Multi Strand Crisscross Ponytail
1. 1
Make a low ponytail with two loose sections. A multi strand crisscross ponytail takes a little more work than a single strand ponytail, but its intricate and sophisticated look is well worth the effort. Begin making this hairstyle by pulling back the hair behind your ears in a low ponytail, while keeping the two sections of hair that frame your face loose.[7]
• If you have smooth, straight hair, separate the two sections then mist them with hairspray to give them more hold and texture.
2. 2
Pin half of the left section of hair above the ponytail. After you make the ponytail, take the left section of loose hair and separate it into a bottom layer and a top layer. Take the top layer of the left section of hair and cross it over to the right side of your head, holding it about 1 ½ inches (3.81 cm) above the ponytail. Pin the hair with a bobby pin where you are holding it to secure it.[8]
3. 3
Pin half of the right section of hair below the other pinned hair. Do the same thing as you did on the left side with the right, separating the right section of hair into two layers, and pinning the top layer directly underneath the already-pinned section of hair. This will be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the ponytail.[9]
4. 4
Pin the rest of the left strand of hair. Take the remaining hair of the loose left section and pin it directly below the pinned hair of the right section that you just secured.[10]
5. 5
Pin the remaining right section above the hair elastic. Finish crisscrossing the hair by pinning the rest of the right section of hair over hair elastic to hide it from view.[11]
• Once you have finished pinning the hair, the pinned strands should almost look woven together in a very elegant way.
6. 6
Pin the ends of the twisted hair under the ponytail. Once you have finished crisscrossing and pinning your hair, you will have loose ends on each side. Take your loose ends and wrap them around the hair elastic if possible, pinning them at the back of your head near the base of your ponytail. If your strands are too short, pin the hair under the ponytail without wrapping them around the hair elastic.[12]
• Mist your completed hairdo with hairspray to give it better hold.
Method 3 of 3:
Making a High Crisscross Ponytail
1. 1
Pin the hair above your forehead back. A high crisscross ponytail is a good option if you like the look of a high, perky ponytail that still has a chic and sophisticated style. Begin making this ponytail by taking a section of hair right above your forehead about the width of three fingers and pinning it back to the top of your head.
• Slide your pointer fingers into your hairline on either side of your head, just above the outer edge of each eyebrow. Bring the two sides together in a triangle shape at the top of your head. Add volume by twisting this section before pinning it.
2. 2
Cross a strand of hair over the bobby pin. Once you have pinned the first strand of hair, take a section of hair on one side of the pin and cross it horizontally over the bobby pin. Pin it directly next to the first pin.
3. 3
Cross a strand of hair from the other side over the bobby pin. Repeat the process of crossing a section of hair, this time taking hair from directly under the place you just pinned and crossing it over to the other side. Pin the hair in place.
4. 4
Continue the process of crisscrossing hair 2 or 3 times. After making the first crisscross, repeat the process of crossing strands of hair 2 or 3 times, until you have reached the point on your head where you want to make your ponytail.
5. 5
Pull your hair into a high ponytail. Brush the sides of your hair back into a high ponytail at the crown of the head, taking care not to brush out your crisscrossing. Incorporate the crossed section from the top last. Secure your ponytail in an elastic band. Spray your hair with hairspray to give it maximum hold.

Dr Francis Leneghan gives a talk on Beowulf, one of the most important works in Anglo-Saxon literature.
The title of this collaborative project, 'Great Writers Inspire', naturally brings up several questions, most importantly of which is, 'What is a Writer?' In his talk on the Old English poem Beowulf, Francis Leneghan discusses that very concern. The term 'author' does not convey the same static quality in the Anglo-Saxon period as it does in the modern day. Beowulf could have existed in a multiple of versions, depending on how many Anglo-Saxon poets (scops) were around to interpret and re-tell the tale, much like the many interpretations of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. He also discuses the poet's taste for poetic license, taste, and embellishment that his own character, Beowulf, possesses. The poet invites the audience to consider the complex role of oral poetry, and how the audience - both Anglo-Saxon and modern - should interpret this work. Is this particular poet's rendition of events true? Is Beowulf a less trustworthy individual since he embellishes the nature of the fight when reporting back to Hygelac's court? Every performance and reading reshapes the poem and how we approach it, even to the modern day. The Beowulf-poet, in a sense, is more of a collective noun than an individual author. Also, if you want to hear what Old English sounds like, check out 2:25-2:32 to hear Leneghan speak the opening lines of the extraordinary poem, or 6:27-7:01 to hear the section in which Hrothgar's poet praises Beowulf by comparing him to the valiant men of old. |

In addition, Chrome's security team patched a variety of problems based on internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives.
If you are a Comodo user, it is probably worth waiting for downloading the latest update, as some users are reporting crash at startup problems, and the bug is yet to be resolved.
Last week, Google revealed plans to "pause" Flash-based advertisements through the Chrome browser. In order to watch these ads, Chrome users now need to manually consent to view the content.
In July, Google released a Chrome update which fixed a number of flaws including universal cross-site scripting (UXSS) flaws and heap buffer overflow problems.

Dust Kameez
Dust Kameez
When I was in high school a grey kameez, a traditional Pakistani shirt, was a part of my school uniform. I wanted to remake this garment and make it stand out. So I elongated the kameez till it almost touched the ceiling. The kameez was meant to be made out of dust and constantly leaking dust. I wanted to work with an element like dust, which we see everywhere and which constantly accumulates with time. I want to take something so organic and invisible like dust and make an extremely visible and imposing silhouette of a young girl, referencing the weight of her presence and experience. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7325 | “Overhauling is going on vigorously” – An 1860s photograph reveals work at coal breaker in Wiconisco
As the nation recovered from that bloody conflict, coal from the newly opened anthracite mines of Williams Valley began pouring to markets across the Mid-Atlantic region. In the mountain gap above Lykens and Wiconisco, at the northern end of Dauphin County, profitable mines had fueled the Union war effort and new management sought to expand their valuable workings.
Superintendent Gilliard Dock came on the scene in 1865 and planned to modernize the workings in Bear Gap. He documented his efforts in his journal.
In the stack of images at the Historical Society remains a photographic record of Dock’s work.
This image shows the work being led by Dock to rebuild the Short Mountain Coal Company’s “breaker” on the western edge of Bear Gap. In the mining trade, the breaker is a large, cavernous building where young boys sorted valuable coal from useless rock along dangerous, noisy conveyors.
What do we notice in this photograph?
The Short Mountain Coal Company’s breaker.
An unidentified laborer working on planking on a makeshift railroad bridge.
An unidentified man sitting atop the lower end of the breaker.
When was this photograph taken? It’s possible that the diary of Gilliard Dock may provide us a clue. The photograph shows that significant work was being completed on the breaker. Here’s Dock’s entry from March 24, 1867:
This month can take the palm for dreariness. We have had a continuous stream of rain, hail, and snow descending almost incessantly. Our work, outside, is more or less delayed by it… At the colliery, I am overhauling the slope boilers; the breaker boilers are all outside, getting repaired. The breaker framing – below – is also getting a long needed overhauling. Screens are undergoing examination and a general cleaning up and overhauling is going on vigorously.
