About This Course
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and yet it is the most challenging to get right, most times it is easier to just do bread and tea. I created this course because If I have an issue figuring out breakfast and I am a chef, what about you, the ordinary person?! This course will show you five plates of breakfast which can then be deconstructed to create more than ten breakfast variations - it is all about mixing and matching. These breakfast options can be for the whole family, from the kids to the grown-ups.
I hope you enjoy discovering breakfast variations and have a blast while you do!

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7365 | A Look at the Benefits and Challenges of Android-Powered Education
It’s the first day of school in a South Korean classroom. The door swings open as children scurry to their seats. But rather than a human teacher waiting at the chalkboard, a robot greets the class. A white and yellow tower on wheels, the robot has a screen face, moveable arms and has the capability to make gestures. Developed by Yujin Robot in Seoul, Robosem is a telepresence-focused robot that teaches English — in a country where certified English teachers are scarce.
The robot relies on either teleconferencing with a human instructor or preloaded, autonomous lessons powered by artificial intelligence software, like motion tracking and speech recognition.
South Korea is one of the more aggressive corners of the world implementing classroom robotics, including an initiative to place one in every kindergarten program, and the phenomenon is quickly spreading.
But will robots one day replace teachers?
“No. Never. Ever. Ever,” said Brian David Johnson, Intel futurist and author of “21st Century Robot,” a book written about Johnson’s open-source programmable humanoid robot Jimmy.
“Inherently, education is about people, but robots can be excellent extensions of parents and teachers at home and in the classroom.”
Robots inhabit our imaginations and are, let’s face it, really cool, he said.
Johnson sees that for children with different learning styles or learning disabilities, robots can be excellent teachers and learning companions. They can give a child unfettered attention, something nearly impossible for one teacher to in front of a classroom full of students.
“Unlike computers or tablets, robots are social and can connect with children,” he said.
In Birmingham, England, a robot named Nao helps teach children with autism. Because a robot has no concept of personal space or awkwardness, Nao can teach without setting off a chain of unsuccessful social interactions.
Nao is available on the market direct for just under $8,000.
Nao’s parents, Aldebaran Robotics, also have an education portal for discounted pricing and teacher resources. Beyond being an educator, Nao’s not too bad on the soccer pitch either, as it’s also the official robot used by the RoboCup league.
Also from the United Kingdom, the University of Hertfordshire-developedKaspar also helps autistic children.
Specially designed with a human-like face and the tacit complexities therein, Kaspar helps teach facial expressions and appropriate physical contact, creating a safer learning environment for special needs children.
Here in the United States, a robot named RUBI runs through repeated exercises to teach foreign languages to preschoolers in California.
Spearheaded by the University of California, San Diego, RUBI has proven quite successful at teaching language cooperation, though not quite as successful at convincing children it’s not a toy. (As reported in this New York Times feature, poor RUBI lost its arms by the end of the day).
Classrooms use robots mostly for very specific and repetitive tasks, such as vocabulary, attendance and behavior imitation. This type of Artificial Intelligence-powered technology can learn as it teaches, in tandem of creating a persona (albeit artificial) of unbridled knowledge and limitless patience.
But how does the robot learn?
In part, psychologists study the informational hotspots that attract toddlers and young children as language develops. As more robots enter classrooms, specialists can study the interactions and make adjustments that combine technology with the latest childhood development findings.
On the software side, education tech firms such as Desire2Learn use transcript data to help college students select classes based on prior successes and degree requirements. Such advanced software and sophisticated robotics create the perfect combination for a smart connected classroom.
Of course, any conversation concerning a robot performing human tasks can bring to mind either the Jetsons or the Terminator.
A recent Pew Research poll finds technologists and engineers split on whether AI in the workforce will create or destroy more jobs. But many computer scientists have expressed that they have neither the desire nor the ability to engineer a scholastic machine competitive with a human educator, and the current fleet of robot teachers reflect that sentiment.
“Robots hold a special place in our culture,” says Johnson.
He believes robots can be excellent assistants, but they are still just machines, lacking in human emotional intelligence.
“All technology is a tool — just different types of hammers. Technology frees humans up to do what their really good at.”
So far, classroom robots seem to have proven successful with the most basic components of behavioral education and cognitive learning. But what happens when technology becomes more intelligent? What happens when Skynet becomes aware?
Still, as Johnson and others point out, the spontaneity, intuitiveness and overall emotional intelligence of humans makes us hard to beat when it comes to teaching. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7377 | Infringement of second medical use claims: Foreseeing intentions
Helen Christie | December 2015
Last month saw Mr. Justice Arnold, sitting in the High Court, rule on the latest stage of an ongoing battle between two pharmaceutical heavyweights, Pfizer and Actavis. A long line of decisions (including two hearings before the Court of Appeal and four at first instance) has culminated in a ruling that has at last helped to clarify some points of law relating to the infringement of second medical use patents. These are directed to purpose-limited products for treatment of specific medical conditions (“substance X for treating Y”).
The case at issue concerned a patent owned by Warner-Lambert, a subsidiary of Pfizer, for the drug pregabalin. Pregabalin is dispensed for the treatment of epilepsy, general anxiety disorder (GAD) and for neuropathic pain. Pfizer owned the initial patent which covered the drug itself. However, when further research indicated that it could also be effective in treating neuropathic pain they obtained a second medical use patent to the use of pregabalin in the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of pain (claim 1) and specifically neuropathic pain (claim 3).
After the SPC (supplementary protection certificate) for the original patent was allowed to lapse, Actavis began seeking marketing authorisation to sell generic pregabalin for the treatment of GAD and epilepsy under the trade name Lacaent. Pfizer sought to prosecute Actavis for infringing their “pain patent” and Actavis, in turn, sought to invalidate the pain patent.
As one might expect, the enforcement of rights in this type of patent is not straightforward. The traditional way to deal with the issue is for generics companies to market their drugs using what is known as a “skinny label”, which lists non-patented uses only on the packaging. The consensus has been, however, that this method is not effective – prescriptions often don’t include information as to the indication for which a drug is prescribed, so that pharmacies dispensing the drugs have no way of judging whether a branded or generic product should be handed out.
In one of the many earlier court rulings, Pfizer sought an interim order requiring Actavis to undertake a number of actions on top of the usual skinny label packaging. These included writing to developers who provide software to pharmacists requesting that they change their software to facilitate the prescribing of Lyrica by brand name, as well as packaging drugs in an outer cellophane wrapper with a warning. These were all, probably rightly, dismissed as excessive by Justice Arnold who made the point that Actavis should not be expected to procure others to act when this was not entirely within their power.
The Swiss Claim Form
Claim 1 of the pain patent is worded as follows: “use of [pregabalin] or a pharmaceutically accepted salt thereof for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treating pain”. This is the Swiss claim form (use of substance X in the manufacture of drug Y for treating Z). It has now been superseded by purpose limited product claims (substance X for treating Y), however many patents with claims in the Swiss claim form have not yet lapsed.
The claim structure is intended to protect the interests of the patentee without putting medical practitioners at risk of infringing, however it throws up several questions. Does the wording “for treating” require intent on the part of the manufacturer that the drug be used to treat the specific indication claimed? What level of intent is required in a case where it is likely that a drug will be dispensed somewhere along the line (by an unknowing pharmacist, for example) for the patented use?
In an earlier judgement, Mr. Justice Arnold ruled that “an intention on the part of the manufacturer that the product would be used for treating the patented indication” was required in order to infringe a claim in the Swiss form. Intention, he says, is objective, not subjective, and can be judged on the facts. This intention or mental element was likely contemplated when the Swiss claim form was conceived because if “for” could simply be read as meaning “suitable for” then the patent would cover all medical uses and not just the second medical use as intended.
Lord Justice Floyd in the Court of Appeal came to the conclusion that a manufacturer infringes such a claim if he can “reasonably foresee the ultimate intentional use for pain” and that he does not need a “specific intention or desire”. This line of reasoning led Floyd to the conclusion that Pfizer had an arguable case for infringement.
The Decision
Arnold considered in detail the Court of Appeal’s conclusion, and attempted to set out how the test they had laid down should be applied.
He pointed out that a test based purely on a manufacturer being able to foresee use of their drug for the patented indication falls down in that infringing goods and non-infringing goods cannot be distinguished (and all goods cannot be seen to be infringing if a large proportion of them are not in the end being used for the patented indication).
He concluded that in order to infringe, Actavis must have been able to foresee that a large enough proportion (enough not to be de minimis) of people further down the chain of supply would intentionally prescribe pregabalin for the patented indication. A pharmacist handing out generic pregabalin against a generic prescription without knowledge of the indication for which the drug had been prescribed did not amount to intentional use. In this case, the requirement of foreseeability of intentional use was not fulfilled and Actavis was found not to infringe.
While the decision has gone some way towards clarifying the law in this important area, the saga is not over yet. There may well be questions asked about the use of the de minimis principle in Arnold’s test. Is it possible to put a number on how many people an infringer can predict will intentionally use the product for the patented use? How will this be determined if so? Pfizer is likely appeal the decision (their patent was also found invalid), so it looks like those interested will have to wait a little longer for a final conclusion. |

Ezekiel 13: 1-16
False Prophets Condemned
13The word of the Lord came to me: 2Mortal, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are prophesying; say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: ‘Hear the word of the Lord!’ 3Thus says the Lord God, Alas for the senseless prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins, O Israel. 5You have not gone up into the breaches, or repaired a wall for the house of Israel, so that it might stand in battle on the day of the Lord. 6They have prophesied falsehood and lying divination; they say, ‘Says the Lord’, when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they wait for the fulfilment of their word! 7Have you not seen a false vision or uttered a lying divination, when you have said, ‘Says the Lord’, even though I did not speak?
Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have uttered falsehood and prophesied lies, I am against you, says the Lord God. 9My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations; they shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord God. 10Because, in truth, because they have misled my people, saying, ‘Peace’, when there is no peace; and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets* smear whitewash on it. 11Say to those who smear whitewash on it that it shall fall. There will be a deluge of rain,* great hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind will break out. 12When the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the whitewash you smeared on it?’ 13Therefore thus says the Lord God: In my wrath I will make a stormy wind break out, and in my anger there shall be a deluge of rain, and hailstones in wrath to destroy it. 14I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare; when it falls, you shall perish within it; and you shall know that I am the Lord. 15Thus I will spend my wrath upon the wall, and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash; and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it— 16the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for it, when there was no peace, says the Lord God.

My Favorite Video and Multimedia Software Tools
Choosing the best video software tools for your editing workflow.
Choosing the best tool for your video editing workflow.
Here are some of my favorite tools:
• The video editing interface of the Avid Media Composer.
Avid Media Composer interface.
Avid Media Composer - As someone who started his career as an Avid editor, the Avid Media Composer is my first and favorite video editing tool. This probably comes as no surprise to regular readers of this blog. I find the Avid interface to match the way I like to edit more than any other editing application. Sure, it has its limitations, but its strong points far outweigh those limitations. The options for trimming alone make the Avid system stand out over all the others.
• The video effects and animation interface of Adobe After Effects.
Adobe After Effects interface.
Adobe After Effects - This application is crucial in my video toolset. I use After Effects not only to build animations for my video projects, but it can be used to fill in some of what's lacking in the Avid Media Composer, such as fluid motion effects (with audio) and clean, intuitive titling. If After Effects developed an AVX plug-in like BorisFX, and all the animations could be built based on Avid media in the Avid timeline, that would be a dream come true.
• Adobe Photoshop - Whether I'm touching-up or expanding images for pan and scan for video, building a multi-shot panorama or restoring old photos, Photoshop is my favorite application for still images. Photoshop keeps getting better in its ability to allow you to edit images in a non-destructive manner. Converting layers to Smart Objects gives you a clear path to always get back to the original content of the layer.
• Sorenson Squeeze - In my workflow, I never use my edit system to transcode videos. I use a specialized application to do the heavy crunching - Sorenson Squeeze. When a video is ready for review, I export a reference video (when possible) from my edit system. A reference video is very quick to export and takes up very little space on your drive. This is because it saves only an empty wrapper file that points to the native media of the cut. Sorenson can then transcode directly from the actual media used in the sequence.
• The audio editing and sweetening interface of Adobe Audition.
Adobe Audition interface.
Adobe Audition - Any time I need to manipulate audio, whether I'm cleaning up tracks from old LPs or making audio edits that require more precision than video frame boundaries allow, Audition is my go-to tool. I don't claim to be an audio guy and have never used Avid Pro Tools, but this application does everything I need it to do. In recent projects I have used Audition to edit my music track and build sound effects. With a built-in video monitor, you can edit your audio to a video reference.
These are the applications in my video toolkit that I use most, they contribute greatly to my video workflow. Just because these are my favorite tools doesn't mean that tools like Adobe Premiere, Adobe Encore, Apple Final Cut Pro, Apple Soundtrack Pro, Apple Compressor or Apple DVD Studio Pro don't have a place in my workflow - I use the tools that work best for the current project.
1. I use Final Cut Studio 3 to my workflow, but, i've started the path to learn AVID Media Composer, for the people which came from Premiere and Final Cut Pro, it's a little bit different, but i only will know how to use the software, using.
1. Final Cut Studio 3 is a great set of tools, I use them as well. I started leaning more towards Adobe Premiere Pro when Apple got rid of the Final Cut Studio package. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7447 | This is why I think church kind of sucks
So I did some research. Because I’m a trouble stirrer.
9 thoughts on “This is why I think church kind of sucks
1. I’ve never heard anything about Brittany Settle, so it must’ve not been as huge a deal as the pastor there makes it out to be. This is the kind of thing that makes my job hard, and I’m disappointed by it.
2. When a generation comes along that loves some Jesus, they will not have to write underhanded term papers about Him. Pastors will not use the same underhanded method of pushing Christ into the system. Anyone who reads history sees the deadly effects of mingling religion and government. Forget history, just watch the news. Religious fanatics speak favorably about the founders of our nation, but they undermine them by pushing for a religiously biased government. If this were a “Christian” nation, no one would have to worry about a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Make disciples and the system will be changed naturally. Force Jesus, and there will be bloodshed.
3. You know how you sit through Sunday School hoping the teacher will ask you a question, because you just know the answer is going to be Jesus and the teacher is going to gush all over your brilliant self? (Or was that just what Sunday School was like for me?)
This reminds me of that. Brittany thinks to herself, “This drama paper sucks and won’t get me an A.” Then she gets an idea, “I know! I’ll write about Jesus. Failing a paper about Jesus would be like failing Jesus himself!”
4. I respectfully accept the position. Thank you for your vote. Now, what can we do to get the religious people riled up enough to martyr a few people? Most of the people who wrote the Bible died of unnatural causes. Be careful with your words. Nothing can kill you faster than the truth spoken in front of a mainstream religious audience.
5. “…afraid that my blaspheming fingers might cause it to burst into flame…” – hahaha, you’re cracking me up! anyways, I agree, it does suck bringing up this 2 decades later.

to add a pop up notes descriptions, instruction, details and reminders to your scene so when somone open up your file, he/she can read it…
Right click on the toolbar, then customized.
On Group Box - make sure it is on MAIN
on category Box - make it ALL Commands, then look for ADD POP UP MENU, then drag the item to any toolbar you want. then close the Customize dialog box. to add a pop up note just click the new icon you added, and the pop-up menu will show up, add an instruction or whatever details you want for somebody to read once they open your max file. be sure the tick box (open this on start up) then save your scene.
I don’t know if this has been said yet (it didn’t come up in the search so I guess not), but here’s my suggestion:
-If your camera is panning/trucking/etc really slow/fast,
-select your camera and uniformly resize it on its Local Coordinate system
*it’s because your scene is unduly huge or tiny compared to your cameras
This saved me a lot of time on the animation project I’d been working on this semester when I realised my scene was really huge and my cameras were really tiny.
oh! that’s a good one. i just needed it: many thanks!
If you’re having Z-Fighting in your viewport, adjust the viewport’s cliping planes manually to increase the depth buffer precision around your objects. You can do this by simply checking the Viewport Cliping option at the viewport right click menu(right click on viewport label). Then, move the bottom slider up(near plane) and the top slider down(far plane) until the artifacts disappear.
Thanks a lot, that really helps. I’ve had tons of files with that artifact. That really helps.
Max doenst have a mixer to allow me to blend poses (NOT using BIPED or Morph targets) and save them to be used later in the animation If Max does have something like that inherint it is to time consuming wich doesnt fit my time budget
This plugin does the job quick and painless
thanks very much rcarr for this link. i must try that one!!
1. If you use lots of bitmaps - use bitmap proxies - it will make working in MAX much faster.
2. Toggle the trackbar when not animating - you get 2 cm more on the bottom of the screen.
3. If using MR - avoid using the raytrace map/material - it takes hours to render.
4. Use scripts and try avoiding plugins - MAX will in most cases work with old scripts but not plugins.
If you need to constantly render 2 or more angles of the same project , say a building,
Instead of using more than 1 camera - Use only one and key its transforms (position) for each angle in successive frames and link the sun to that camera (and tree billboards as well)
To render all angles just render the animation in the range you need. a huge time saver !!!
I am sure most of you never heard about the SHAPE view !
I just found about it - it lets you move a shape but what’s neat is that doing so moves the view but not the shape which is selected.
How do you get to this VIEW ? - select any shape and right click on the viewport lable and select VIEWS > SHAPE
move thge shape but it doesnt - only the grif and the rest of the scene is panning.
1. It does transform the shape, only that the view is linked to it
2. I don’t really get its use so much… ok, maybe you do want sometimes your viewport to be linked to an object, so you can get easily focused on it, but then, why only shapes? and why can’t I save a specific viewport so I’ll be actually easily able to get back to it?
Strangley enough - less than 1 day after dscovering this - (yesterday) I found a use.
I have a lathed object whose shape I needed to modify but as it is NOT aligned to either of the preset ortho views I just used the shape view - instead of rotating the shape to any of them ( or a clone of it). GREAT feature I must say.
Hey ADI - Just noticed we are actually neighbours - I live less than a mile from where you study !!! (I live in H-300)
Thank you nirsul very much About the idea of Shape View, I see it very usefull, and it help me a lot , especially when my shape is not aligned to any of my standard Viewports
Hey Neighbour !! How are u ?
I even speak arabic a bit.
Nice tips nirsul.
Very usefull.:slight_smile:
dunno if anyone posted this already but…

Elephant Tales (2006)
Directed by Mario Andreacchio
Original Music by Frank Strangio
• Patrick Bry
• Aymeric Lecerf
• Boris Ventura-Diaz
A tale of two elephant brothers, Tutu and Zef, in search of their mother, and the menagerie of wild creatures they encounter along the way. Just days after the birth of baby elephant Tutu, human hunters arrive late at night and decimate the herd. Faced with the loss of their family, Tutu and Zef set off across the African plain in search of a future. At a nearby watering hole, Tutu encounters a some crowned cranes, who lead him to believe that he will find his lost mother at the end of the rainbow. Though Zef knows better, he can only hope that a new elephant herd will eventually take them in, and the two siblings continue their search. A Chimp, Giraffe and baby Lion Cub soon join them, orphans as well, and though rivalries emerge, the foursome trek on across landscape both magnificent and treacherous. Together they brave dust storms, crocodiles, and "The Badness". Ultimately, in a climactic battle with ruthless poachers, they come to trust and depend on each other, and find that leadership and bravery comes in all shapes, sizes, and fur colors. Family is wherever you make it.

Here you will find the MP3 files of the Echo Chamber podcast!
When TVTropes released a webseries, as a heavy lurker (jojoscotia) I watched it instantly, and every time a new episode came out.
Not content with merely watching the program, I read the blog, the forum thread, the tropes page, and then, when I discovered it, added Zack’s Character on Twitter. Much to my surprise, he added me back, and then tweeted at me. A few days later, Dana Shaw eamiled me, told me she was a KoLer, and would I like to interview the three main cast for Radio KoL. I did a little dance of joy and then said yes.
So, below are links to the MP3s of two interviews. The first, with Tom and Zach in-character. The second, in three parts, is a full interview with the cast, with many hints for the future!
The Echo Chamber interview MP3s are below:

The evolution of mutualistic relationships
ResearchBlogging.orgAlthough bacteria are often thought of as invading pathogens, not all bacterial interactions are necessarily to the detriment of the host. Some bacteria are able to establish mutualistic relationships which benefit both the bacteria and the organism in which it lives. An example can be seen in legumes, which have bacteria in specialised root nodules which carry out nitrogen fixation. The plant gains a source of nitrogen while the bacterium gains a safe space to live and a good source of carbohydrates.

Studies of how bacteria evolve from free-living organisms into mutualistic partners of eukaryotic (i.e not bacterial) cells has been made easier with the availability of large numbers of sequenced genomes. Intracellular bacteria in general tend to have a smaller genome than free-living bacteria as they have fewer changing environmental conditions to respond too, and many of their metabolic needs can be met by their host. Examining bacteria within their natural environment (rather than the very specific and controlled laboratory environment) also helps to identify the selective forces that can act on bacteria to drive them towards adaptations for mutualistic living.
In order to adapt to a mutualistic lifestyle the bacteria must also gain new genes, which produce proteins that allow it to invade, and communicate with, its host. Genes involved in host interactions are often found in genomic islands, or near to mobile elements which are able to move the genes between organisms (particularly bacteriophages – virus’s that invade bacteria). It has been suggested that the ability of these mobile elements to leave one bacteria and invade neighbouring ones can help to prevent bacterial ‘cheaters’ i.e those that reap the benefits of the mutualistic relationship while relying on the surrounding bacteria to produce the necessary proteins.
Although several species have been found that are thought to have moved from being mutual partners to free-living, the reduction in genome size and host dependency means that once a relationship with the host is established, it tends to remain (occasionally breaking down into parasitism). In fact, once becoming so established that the host carried part (or all) of the bacterial genome, mutualist relationships can often evolve into organellar relationships, where the bacteria become part of the surrounding host cell, and is unable to survive on its own. Established mutualistic bacteria often lose the mobile elements that helped them establish in the first place, and the genome begins to break down as unnecessary genes are slowly lost.
Correlation between genome size and the stage of adaptation to an intracellular lifestyle
Although genome size reduction is the overall fate of bacteria that form a partnership with eukaryotic cells, the process is more than simply the slow loss of genes over time. Different evolutionary pressures will act on both bacteria and host organisms at different stages in the process of creating a relationship which in the early stages requires the gain of genes allowing host interaction. In later stages, the bacterium will lose genes, in some cases passing them on to the safer environment of the host nucleus, which in turn can lead to the bacteria losing all its personal autonomy and becoming a eukaryotic organelle.

Bacterial Hitchhikers
ResearchBlogging.orgThere was an interesting post over at Culturing Science about the widespread dispersal of bacteria which, as well as sporting an amazing hand-drawn MS Paint picture also put forward the argument that bacterial evolution occurs in very selective environmental pockets and niches, while a sort of general 'less-evolving' population floats around the world. This helps to explain why you can find almost identical species of bacteria all over the world, yet still find very specialised colonies in distinct environmental niches. This can all be summed up with a rather nice little quote by the Dutch biologist Lourens Baas-Becking:
"Everything is everywhere; the environment selects"
It's a quote that can be hotly debated, but it certainly is true that bacteria have a remarkable capacity for spreading around the world. Even before humans and air-travel allowed pathogenic bacteria to go on holiday environmental bacteria have been spreading through the sea, air and soil not by their own (rather poor) motile ability but by hitching rides on other organism. In the case of soil bacteria they can also travel in spore form, which significantly reduces the harm they sustain by (e.g) being trampled all over the savannah's by an elephant.
In the sea bacteria have even more help with movement. Currents, tides, waves and general water movement can help to move bacteria large distances horizontally and a recent paper (that Lucas sent me, reference is below) provides evidence that bacteria might move vertically in the oceans by taking a ride on zooplankton, small eukaryotic ocean-dwelling creatures, a selection of which are shown below:
This isn't just a careless picking up of bacteria by idly floating zooplankton though, this is the bacteria actively attaching and dissociating from the zooplankton as they move through the water. The paper proposes a "conveyor belt hypothesis" which states that bacteria attach at one level, travel either upwards or downwards on the migrating zooplankton, and then dissociate when they reach where they want to be.
The reason bacteria would want to travel around between the different depths is due to nutrient availability (this may also act as a biochemical signal for the bacteria to fall off their zooplankton transporters). Deeper waters have a higher concentration of inorganic nutrients, while waters closer to the surface contain a higher concentration of oxygen, and algal derived organic matter.
In order to estimate how much travelling the bacteria were doing, the researchers used. Three different bacteria (that were thought to travel between layers, rather than bacteria that have adapted to the layer they are in) were isolated and labelled with GFP - a protein which fluoresces green. They were then added too migration columns, filled with zooplankton called daphnids which are very phototaxic (i.e they move towards light). Running a light up and down the migration columns lead to the daphnids moving up and down, and the movement of the bacteria could be tracked by following the spots of green florescence.
Sure enough, they found that the green bacterial dots would gather either at the bottom or the top of the migration column, but only when the daphnids were added (a column containing just bacteria and water with a light running up and down the side produced no results). They also found that the more Daphnids they added, the move bacterial movement was found, strongly supporting their hypothesis that the bacteria were taking a ride on the far larger zooplankton.
Graph showing the number of bacteria in the upper layer of the migration column per migration cycle of the dahpnia (i.e one movement up and down - 2 hours). The circle shows columns with no daphnia added, while triangle and square show 20 and 80 daphnia respectively. Numbers to the right are the regression slope.
Among other things, this study shows just how dependant ocean species can be on the other organisms they live amongst. The bacteria which use zooplankton for conveyor-belt style hitchhiking now have their own survival intrinsically linked with the continued well-being of the zooplankton species that they rely on. This knowledge can then be added to models of how large-scale changes to the oceanic environment will affect the creatures within it and ultimately, given the importance of zooplankton on the foodchain and the importance of oceanic bacteria on the environment, the fate of many other organisms.

Colony behaviour and metatranscriptomics
ResearchBlogging.orgMost places which contain bacteria tend to contain lots of them. In the environment (i.e outside human bodies) bacteria often live in large colonies which can make it difficult to explore their reactions to changing conditions. In the lab, with just one bacteria, information about responses can be obtained by transcriptomics; looking at how the transcriptome changes as the environment does.
The transcriptome is the set of all the mRNA within the cell. Unlike the genome, which is the all DNA present within the cell, the transcriptome only reveals those genes which are being turned into proteins. This therefore acts as an indication of the changes in protein production within the cell.
My MSPaint skills are improving.
For large bacterial colonies however, individual transcriptomic studies aren't much use for finding out the state of the whole colony. Each bacteria within the colony will not only be reacting slightly differently, but will also be experiencing different conditions within the colony depending on where it is within the colony. It's often best, therefore to treat the entire colony as one 'cell' and carry out transcriptome studies on the whole lot. This is metatranscriptomics.
Nowadays one of the easiest ways to carry this out is by isolating the RNA and getting it all directly sequenced by Pyrosequencing (which saves the trouble of making microarrays). As well as giving information about the changes within a colony due to environmental factors, it can also show the changes in protein production at different stages in the colony lifecycle such as at the beginning and end of an algal bloom. The integration of new third-generation sequencing methods into this process will make it faster and hopefully allow isolation of the rarer, less abundant transcripts to find more subtle changes in gene expression.
This has important implications for things like oceanic cyanobacteria which are involved in carbon sequestration in the oceans. Understanding how changes such as increases in ocean acidity (or decreases in salinity) affects their growth and ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere could have important implications for global warming, and how it can be dealt with.

Strategies of Intracellular Parasites
This post was chosen as an Editor's Selection for ResearchBlogging.orgIntracellular parasites have a difficult life. On the one hand, they need to utilise the resources of the host cell, which will ultimately cause it damage, however on the other they must necessarily keep the host cell alive so that they can live off it. This is particularly difficult when your host cell is a eukaryote cell in a multicellular organism, because multicellular organisms can't afford to have one cell behaving oddly. If the cell starts to notice any differences in its behaviour, it promptly commits suicide, meaning that in order for the parasite to survive it has to find ways of preventing the cell from killing itself when it notices things going wrong.
Chlamydia is a particularly well studied human intracellular bacteria, and is best known for being sexually transmitted and featuring in posters on student welfare notice boards in probably every university in the UK:
If it's worth talking about, it's worth blogging about!
The reason Chlamydia is so worth talking about is two-fold, firstly because it's a bacterium rather than a virus and can therefore be (relatively) easily treated with antibiotics. Secondly, because you don't always know you have it and therefore it's worth getting tested even if you don't appear to have any symptoms. The bacteria can live perfectly happily within your cells replicating away without the body noticing, and if left untreated can lead to quite serious problems, such as blindness, pelvic inflammation or sterility.
In order to remain replicating inside the cells unnoticed for so long, Chlamydia have to prevent the cells from either destroying them or committing suicide before they manage to replicate. One of the ways they can do this is by degrading the cell proteins involved in cell signalling pathways. An example is the serine protease (i.e an enzyme that breaks down proteins) CPAF which is secreted by the infective chlamydia particles and (among other things) breaks down the protein HIF-1 which is used to trigger the cell suicide response to low oxygen levels. They can also break down proteins which would potentially be involved in the immune responses to the damaged cell, such as NF-KB, which helps activate the innate immune system inflammatory response.
Quite how the chlamydia causes the host cell protein degradation is still a little unclear. They may use the common viral strategy of modifying proteins to make them more susceptible to being picked up by the cellular degradation machinery (although there is no biochemical evidence for this as yet) or alternatively it might activate protein degradation pathways that are usually silenced in uninfected cells. Analysis of the chlamydia genome shows several predicted proteases, so it may be possible that rather than using host proteases the bacteria is degrading specific proteins with its own protease enzymes. The bacterial protease CPAF (mentioned above) has been crystallised and the crystal structure shows the potential for several different substrates (i.e it could potentially degrade many different proteins) so it might play in important part in this process.
The use of degradation proteins also creates a potential target for therapeutics. If that sentence sounds familiar it's because I've written it several times before and will probably write it several times in the future. "New targets for therapeutics" is pretty much THE standard excuse for studying anything related to bacteria. From a more selfish and less funding-motivated standpoint, it also provides exciting new information about how bacterial and eukaryotic cells interact, and how parasites that live inside cells can control host signalling pathways to their own advantage.

Niches of Sunlight
ResearchBlogging.orgIn every environment there will be competition for resources, and there are generally two ways organisms deal with this; generalise or specialise. To generalise, you try to cope with as many different conditions as possible, so that if you get out-competed in one area you can try to cope with the conditions elsewhere. To specialise, you get damn good at using the conditions in your little niche, in the hope that you'll be better than anyone else who comes along, and be able to out-compete them.
There are many resources that need fighting over, and in the sea one of the major ones for photosynthetic organisms is sunlight. Other nutrients such as nitrogen, phospherous and trace metals such as iron and copper can exist in different forms at different levels in the ocean (as shown below), but once you start getting below a certain depth, sunlight quickly becomes a finite and rapidly diminishing resource:
Diagram showing availability of nutrients at different depths.
Taken from the reference below.
Different organisms can cope with the lack of sunlight in different ways. Some (especially the larger algae species) have generalised, they contain a whole range of different light capturing pigments which can absorb a range of light wavelengths, including those in the darker depths. But little photosynthesising bacteria like Procholorococcus (which I mentioned in this post) which have the smallest genomes of all photosynthesising organisms, don't have that option. Instead they have to specialise, so that different strains in a species are adapted to different levels of light.
Work done by Rocap (paper reference below) looked at two different strains of Prochlorococcus: MED4 and MIT9313 (which I will just call MED and MIT). The MED strain was found only in the surface waters, while MIT was found much lower down; a phenomenon known as 'vertical niche partitioning'. Despite their genomes differing by only 3%, and despite being technically the same species (although 'species' is an uncertain word in the world of bacteria) they have optimised themselves to completely different levels of not just light but also nutrients, trace metals and virus specificities.
MED (the one near the surface) has a slightly smaller genome than MIT, yet contains twice as many genes dedicated to high-light-inducible proteins, many of which seem to have arisen by gene duplication. It also has genes specialised for the nitrogen sources found near the surface of the water, and organic phosphates (which again are found predominantly on the surface).
MIT on the other hand has fewer genes for ultraviolet damage repair, but more light harvesting genes, for example it possesses two copies of the hight-harvesting chlorophyll binding antenna protein. This helps it to gather as much light as possible, despite being further below the surface. it's also adapted for its specific nitrogen source and increased ability to use orthophosphate, rather than organic phosphates.
Both genomes have lost the ability for photoacclimatisation, that is the ability to change to suit different light conditions. By taking up vertical niche positions, they have forfeited the ability to change their response, meaning that a strict horizontal partition between them must be maintained at all times. Any Prochlorocuccus found at lower levels will be of the MIT variety, while those at higher levels will be MED. It's even thought that there might be further strict niche partitioning; with different ecotypes of MED adapted to use different iron sources, or different temperatures.
For the photosynthetic organisms that inhabit it, seawater is more than just a blue shifting salty mass. It's a whole range of niches and environments, partitioned in three dimensions depending on the surrounding conditions and nutrients.

chi energy generator for living waterIn other words, such an orgone accumulator became a source of DOR itself and it had to be dismantled. Soon it became clear that, besides radioactive emanations, other forms of EMF’s (electromagnetic frequencies) transform orgone into its stale form of DOR. Typically, fluorescent tubes (including the screw-in spiralled “green eco-bulbs”) and TV screens or computer monitors generate DOR, as is experienced by many people who are forced to be exposed to such devices for extended periods of time. Electromagnetic pollution from cellular telephones, especially its towers, is well known meanwhile.
JU 1000 TC 99 Transfer CoupleBeing confronted with the potential of DOR, Karl Welz invented a DOR generator. The advantage of such a generator is that it can be turned off with ease, contrary to the orgone accumulator that contained radioactive material in Reich’s Oranur experiment. The effect of the DOR generator on the human being was immediately evident. Within seconds, bystanders felt pain in their lymph nodes and felt weak, and some felt nauseous or at least very “edgey”. This situation changed immediately whenever a pulsating Chi generator® (the old EPG 2000 was used for this series of experiments. The device looked somewhat like a muffler and it had the strength of the JU 99 CE) was brought close to the DOR generator. Contrary to the marketing claims of some copy cats (thieves) of the Welz technology, orgonite® (a very effective orgone accumulating material that was invented by Karl Hans Welz and which is his registered trademark) alone has no effects in counteracting DOR. If orgonite appears to have some minimal effects at times, this is due to other environmental factors, including specific EMF’s. In fact, in the DOR generator, orgonite® is the major contributing factor to actually generate DOR. This is a function similar to the one of the orgone accumulator in the Reichian experiment. Orgonite® is much more effective in this respect and much smaller quantities are needed.

We Use The Name Of Jesus For He Did HAVE A Name, The Name Above All Names HE IS THE "Rock"
We run to the Rock of Our Salvation, we run to the Stone that the builders rejected, the Stone & Rock is Jesus Christ!!
Making "Jesus" A Household Name
Why We Baptize in Jesus' Name
Gentiles to be baptized (Acts 2:38; 10:48)? We must remember two points about the importance of water baptism. First, whatever Christ definitely established and ordained cannot be unimportant, whether we understand its significance or not. Second, Christ and the apostles showed the importance of this ordinance by observing it. Jesus walked many miles to be baptized, though He was without sin, saying, "For thus it be cometh us to fulfill all righteousness" (See Matthew 3:13-16.) It is true that water itself does not contain any saving virtue, but God has chosen to include it in His plan of salvation.
Peter explained, "Baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (I Peter 3:21). According to Luke 7:30, "the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized."
The Mode of Baptism According to the Scriptures, the proper mode of baptism is immersion. "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water" (Matthew 3:16). "And they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him" (Acts 8:38). "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death" (Romans 6:4). A corpse is not buried by placing it on top of the ground and sprinkling a little soil on it, but by covering it completely.
According to the World Book Encyclopedia, "At first all baptism was by complete immersion" (vol. 1, p.651). And the Catholic Encyclopedia states, "In the early centuries, all were baptized by immersion in streams, pools, and baptisteries" (vol. 2, p.263). Immersion was not convenient after the Catholic church instituted infant baptism; thus the mode was changed to sprinkling. (See Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed., vol. 3, pp.365-66.)
Jesus commanded His disciples to "teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). He did not command them to use these words as a formula, but He commanded them to baptize in "the name." The word name is used here in the singular, and it is the focal point of the baptismal command. The titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost describe God's relationships to humanity and are not the supreme, saving name described here, which is Jesus. "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
Jesus is the name in which the roles of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are revealed. The angel of the Lord instructed Joseph, "She shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21). Jesus said, "I am come in my Father's name," and, "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,...the Father will send in my name" (John 5:43; 14:26). Thus by baptizing in the name of Jesus, we honor the Godhead. "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9).Luke 24:45-47 records that just before His ascension, Jesus opened the disciples' understanding. It was necessary that their understanding be opened, and many today need this same operation in order to understand the Scriptures. Then Jesus said to
them, "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day." The disciples had their understanding opened so that they could grasp the vast importance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Verse 47 describes the commission that Jesus then gave: "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations [Jews and Gentiles], beginning at Jerusalem."
Peter was one of that number to whom Jesus had spoken and whose understanding had been opened. After having listened to these instructions, a few days later he was inspired by the Holy Ghost to preach on the Day of Pentecost. The hearts of the hearers were pierced and, feeling condemned, they cried out to Peter and the other apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:37). Peter did not hesitate but boldly answered, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" (Acts 2:38). "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized, and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls" (Acts 2:41).
Some say that Peter told them to be baptized in Jesus' name because they were Jews and this baptism was to make them acknowledge Jesus Christ. But let us go with Peter to the house of Cornelius several years later. Cornelius and his household were Gentiles, yet there again Peter "commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord" (Acts 10:48). (Most translations actually say, "In the name of Jesus Christ.") If Peter was wrong on the Day of Pentecost, he surely had ample time to be corrected before he went to the house of Cornelius. Was Peter wrong on the Day of Pentecost? When the hearers were prickled in their hearts, they spoke to Peter and to the rest of the apostles (Acts 2:37). This included Matthew, who wrote Matthew 28:19. Moreover, when Peter preached, he stood up with
Peter had disobeyed the Lord. But all the apostles understood and carried out the Lord's commission. As Jesus said in prayer, "I have manifested thy name unto the men [the apostles] which thou gavest me out of the world...and they have kept thy word" (John 17:6).
The Samaritans, who were not Jews, were also baptized in the name of Jesus. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them...."But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.... They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts 8:5, 12, 16).
Paul was not with the apostles when Jesus gave his finial instructions to them in Matthew 28:19 and Luke 24:47, yet Paul baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. How did he know what to do? He said that his gospel was not a tradition of men but a revelation from God. "I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:11-12). Paul was chosen to bear Jesus' name to the Gentiles, and he wrote many divinely inspired epistles to the church. To this apostle, God revealed
God and the Father by him" (Colossians 3:17). Water baptism is done in both word and deed. We cannot afford to overlook this command to the church. The church is "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20). The apostles not only preached baptism in Jesus' name, but they practiced it. Nowhere can we find that they baptized using the words "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Instead, we find them
baptizing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In baptizing in Jesus' name, they fulfilled the command of the Lord in
Matthew 28:19. Paul said, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8). Let this be a solemn warning to us. Some say that they will accept the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19 but not those of Peter in Acts 2:38. But Peter spoke on
In Mark 7:8 Jesus said, "Laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men." History tells us that it was not until many years after the apostles that the mode and formula of baptism in the name of Jesus Christ were changed. (See Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible, vol. 1, p.241.) Which means more to you, the command of the Lord or the tradition of men?
After All We are "Saved" By A "Name" NOT! A "Title"!!! Or Title's!!
"Ask your self" would you want to be addressed as "Father" or "Son" NO! you would want to be addressed by your "Name" our Name sets us apart from others. There may be many Michaels or Johns, or fathers and sons, but only one Jesus, so, Preach and Baptize in his Name. For all Power is in his Name. The Apostles called him by his Name, even his enemy's called him by his name so don't you think we should call him by his name. Titles do not save us only the name of Jesus, for it was and is by his blood we are saved and cleansed from our sins!! |

Since the 1972 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade the issue of abortion in America has been an extremely controversial, divided issue. The controversy surrounding abortion has typically been characterized as a social conflict between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice advocates. The mere existence of abortion in the human rights prone, American society, however, needs to be analyzed in terms of conflict. An evaluation of abortion according to Johann Glatung’s conflict triangle and his theories on manifest, structural, and cultural violence aims to provide an understanding of abortion (without the addition of Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice conflict dynamics) as a conflict living in society, as opposed to a social conflict.
The American society publicly acknowledges the existence of many contentious, social issues which divide the population along various political, religious, and cultural lines. In the environment of free speech, many of these issues are typically summarized as controversial, social conflicts with the conflicting perspectives of each party involved being the defining factor for the terminology used to label the conflict. One prime example of such an occurrence is the conflict surrounding abortion; Americans generally understand the conflict as a Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice conflict. Indeed there is a protracted social debate surrounding the respective viewpoints of Pro-Life and Pro-Choice individuals, but can the conflict be understood as simply the divergence of two different viewpoints on abortion? Through an analysis of the actual act of abortion, perhaps one might be able to see the conflict surrounding abortion as much more than just a conflict between the two general opinions given to abortion. Using Johann Galtung’s “ABC conflict triangle” and by appropriately applying his theories on manifest, structural, and cultural violence, the mere existence of the abortion medical procedure can, perhaps, be seen as a conflict within society in itself.
If we understand conflict as a perceived divergence of interests than the Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice debate is indeed a social conflict. How can we understand abortion, without the addition of the two conflicting perspectives, as a conflict in and of itself? An explanation of what it is exactly that an abortion entails is necessary before applying any conflict maps or theories to the term. An abortion is a medical procedure which ends the life, or “non-life”, of a fetus within the womb of the woman. Given that a fertilized egg, a zygote, a fetus, or a baby comes from two human parents and is indeed some form of biological life (as opposed to non-life), one can understand abortion as ending the life of a human being, yet not necessarily the life of a “person”. Also important to understanding the existence of abortion in America as a conflict, is understanding the context of the procedure which ends this human life. The American society (government, economic system, and citizens) holds a general consensus that there ought to be, as a goal of American foreign policy, an effort to alleviate human suffering. This notion exists for many reasons, but never-the-less, Americans, generally, consider diminishing the amount of human rights violations in the world to be a generally “good” and “important” task. Additionally, human rights violations are explained as any act that imposes on the inherent, intractable rights of all living human beings, regardless of one’s external, “personhood” factors. The situational context which allocates for an advocacy of human rights is in sharp contrast to the legal, accepted procedure of abortion. Procedures used to end the life of the fetus include: severing the limbs of fetuses in order to ensure the death of the fetus before it passes through the birth canal, injection of poisons into the body/heart of a fetus in order to ensure death, severing spinal cords of fetuses in order to ensure death, a “vacuum” removal of a fetus from a woman which ensures the death of a fetus, etc. These are some of the many methods used by licensed, abortion practitioners to stop the potential development of an unborn human being, in order to ensure that the fetus will not be born at the ninth month of pregnancy. With an understanding of abortion in the context of the American society, an analysis of abortion as a conflict can be applied.
Bernard Mayer, author of The Dynamics of Conflict, explains that conflict can be understood as a perception, as a feeling, and as an action (2012). This particular notion of conflict can also be explained through Johan Galtung’s “ABC conflict triangle”(1990). His triangle includes three aspects (one for each point on a triangle): attitudes, behaviors, and an inherent contradiction, a conflict. Attitudes can be summarized as perspectives, views, beliefs, assumptions, values, or perceptions. Behaviors are simply actions, or the “doing” of something. The contradiction can be explained as a disconnect between the prescribed attitudes and behaviors, and herein lies the conflict. It is important to note that the starting point of a conflict can be either A, B, or C and all three aspects are intricately interconnected. The existence of abortion in the context of the American society can be applied to Galtung’s triangle in several ways:
Attitudes: The right to life for persons is an inalienable right, according to the Constitution.
Behaviors: Abortion violently ends the life of a human being.
Contradiction: Interpretation of the “personhood” of a human being is left up to the mother or the state, with a disregard to the right of life of the human fetus in her womb.
Attitudes: A woman has the right to make choices that affect her own body and well-being
Behaviors: The priority for choice rather than life.
Contradiction: Denial of fetal life as human, making the fetus an “it”; dehumanization.
Attitudes: Human rights are an aspect of American culture/society and often a key factor in determining foreign policy agendas.
Behaviors: An abortion denies the human rights of a fetus, and instead points out the lack of personhood of a fetus.
Contradiction: Human rights are the very soul of our nationhood, yet denied to 3,700 human beings a day within our nation.
These are just a few examples of how Galtung’s “ABC conflict triangle” can be applied to the act of abortion.
It is important to distinguish who constitutes the parties involved in an abortion conflict. The choice of any woman to have an abortion is an intimate, often grueling decision which cannot be discredited. The woman, as carrier of the human fetus, is an obvious party involved in the conflict, and often the father of the child plays an equally prevalent role. Additionally, state and national governments play a role in the conflict because of the laws and procedural guidelines they put in place to regulate abortion. Finally, the fetus is a party that is directly involved in the conflict, for obvious reasons, yet often the inherent power structure of a pregnancy dictates that the fetus is an unrepresented party in the conflict. Each individual abortion is likely to have many other parties which affect the outcome of the conflict; however these three parties remain consistently present in each case of an abortion.
An application of abortion to Galtung’s conflict mapping “ABC triangle” becomes even more relevant with the addition of his theories on manifest, cultural, and structural violence. Just as Mayer (2012) explains that group conflicts have cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions in the same way that interpersonal conflicts do, so can violence be applied to aspects of society in the same way that certain societies and cultures, in whole, are deemed violent. Galtung’s(1990) three forms of violence can be most simply understood as such: Direct/Manifest violence is an event; structural violence is a process; and cultural violence is an invariant, permanence in a society. Direct violence includes: acts of violence, intentional harm and hurt both physical and psychological, meant to intentionally prevent someone from reaching their full potential. Abortion is undoubtedly a form of manifest, or direct, violence. It violently ends the life of a human being. There is no question about this, but perhaps there is speculation about whether or not abortion violently ends the life of a potential “person”. (The distinction is between human and person.) In fact, the ambiguous nature of the term “person” has been manipulated by the cultural ideology in order to justify and legitimize the violent act of killing a fetus, i.e. cultural violence. Abortion in terms of structural violence is quite clear as well: the state grants an equal right to life to all peoples (here meaning humans) except those that are unborn. The state is now structured in a way that allows humans to interpret the “personhood” of other humans, in order to justify and legitimize the manifest violence of abortion.
Galtung’s (1990) “ABC triangle” is an excellent mapping tool for understanding the reality of abortion in relation to conflict, and his theories on violence compliment his “ABC triangle” in a unique way. In fact, a possible interpretation of his conflict triangle could include a vertical dynamic, with cultural violence, structural violence, and manifest violence being incorporated in a hierarchical manner.
In conclusion, it is certainly not a light task to take such a personal event such as an abortion and interpret it in terms of generic conflict maps and theories. Given the extreme prevalence of abortion in the American society, in addition to the social controversy surrounding it, however, it is of the utmost importance to objectively analyze abortion in terms of conflict. Unfortunately, with an understanding of abortion as indeed a (violent) conflict in itself, the abortion conflict continues to persist within our society to date. When an abortion takes places there is only ever one outcome, which could be interpreted as a zero-sum outcome: the life of the fetus is ended. My hope is steadfastly secured on a day in which the direct, structural, and cultural violence that is abortion ceases to exist in America, for reasons which I cannot even begin to explain.

in thread Module for 128-bit integer math?
So you say that newSV(16) always allocates the bytes on a 128-bit aligned
No, what I say is that the code generated by GCC uses 64bit operations to move data between the memory and the processor registers so a 128bits alignment is not really required.
Any sane allocator will return memory aligned for 64bits or better. Perl custom allocator (used when set from Configure) guarantees that alignment would be suitable for doubles (so, 64bits)... or at least that's what a comment says in the place where MEM_ALIGNBYTES macro is introduced.
update: Regarding the use of Copy, yes, it is because any string allocated outside the module can be unaligned. That includes SVs using the OOK hack and probably others. |

Sonic The Hedgehog #1:
Promotional Issue
Sega, Fall 1991.
3 Star Rating: Rare 101-1,000 Rare
Written and drawn by Francis Mao, this comic was produced by Sega as a promo copy, issued in Canada and the USA, to publicize the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog game for the Sega Genesis in 1991.
Sonic The Hedgehog Promo
The comic introduces a number of the now familiar characters and acts as background to the game with the reader being encouraged to " Sonic the Hedgehog and live the adventure !!".
It is not clear exactly how many copies were produced but it is expected that not many would have survived as the distribution was aimed at the video game market rather than the comic market (hence many may have ended up in the trash). However, a few have been collected and their value is on the up, with a notable increase in interest in 2011 to coincide with the 20th Anniversary of the game.
Sonic The Hedgehog #1 Promo Sketch.jpg
Above is an extract from an early sketch for the comic with the final portion of the page shown below.
Sonic The Hedgehog #1 Promo Extract.jpg
In 2011 (the year of the anniversary) only a single copy of this comic was registered in the CGC registry but more have appeared recently. Raw and PGX graded copies do appear on auction sites such as eBay but, with only a handful of realized sales in the last couple of years, it is difficult to calculate an exact guide price. Given the rarity of this comic, if a high grade CGC copy came to market, it could well make close to $1,000.
In addition to the glossy cover version of the promo there also seems to be a comic-sized newsprint variant which has the word "ADVERTISEMENT" along the top edge. This is also dated 1991 but has no mention of Fall/Autumn or a definitive date inside and it has no price. Below is one that was purchased and sent to CGC and curiously categorised the same as the smaller glossy variant:
Sonic The Hedgehog Newsprint Promo
There also seems to be another variant that was printed with Justice League Europe #33 in late 1991, probably just after the glossy promo. This does look very similar to the newsprint variant so they could be one and the same (one is in the comic and the other has either been taken out or was given away separately). At the moment there is scant infomation on the newsprint promo (above) so anyone with any infomation please get in touch.
Sonic Promo Justice League Europe #33
It is worth noting that this comic was re-printed later as a free gift in the popular UK Gaming magazine Mean Machines in issue #16, dated January 1992. This version measures almost 11.5 inches by 8 inches (whilst the original glossy promo is smaller than a standard comic book this one is larger!). The UK variant also has no advertising inside (the story starts on the inside of the front cover and ends on the back cover).
Sonic The Hedgehog UK Promo Mean Machines 16
Whilst there would have been a large print run for these, it is likely that they are pretty rare now given the audience wasn't the comic market. The magazines (with the comic) can be found on eBay in the UK and there are usually a small number for sale each year.
To conclude, there seems to be three or four different versions of the Sonic Promo (all featuring the same story) and maybe there are even more out there. For the moment the smaller glossy promo seems to be the first appearance of Sonic in a comic book hence should be viewed as the more valuable and collectible variant, at least for the moment anyway... |

12 Dec 2012
It turns out that Skype group chats have additional functionality that allows users to change settings or get information about the participants. This article will tell you how to do it.
Well, we continue our good tradition to inform you about the hidden features of Skype. This time it will be helping commands that can be used in private or general chat. Without any doubt, Skype was initially designed for calling and video conferencing but its IM function gained particular popularity on the Internet. Perhaps it was due to long-standing using of ICQ and some other reasons but chatting on Skype is a well-loved way of communication. It is often the case that many people use only basic features of the program being unaware of hidden program capabilities and extra options. We are going to highlight main commands that can help you to simplify and improve your communication. Please note that square brackets shouldn’t be used while entering command text.
/help — main command that reminds you about other available commands. Important: if you are in private chat, it will display limited list of commands. If you communicate in general chat (the number of the users is more than 3) and you are its administrator, more extended list will be available. Otherwise full functionality won’t be available to you.
/alertsoff — one of the most useful commands, especially for group chat. You know how distractive Skype can be while you work or do something important. Even if you turn off sounds, blinking numbers in the taskbar attract your attention. You click there at least to make them disappear. If the chat is popular, it happens all the time. This command lets you disable displaying these notifications in the taskbar.
/alertson [text] — this command is opposite to the previous one. It turns on notifications. You can add your chat name after this command and a space character to be notified only if somebody addresses you personally. If the command is sent without this parameter you will be notified about all new messages.
/me [text] — this command displays your name in the message. The other users will see it as a system message with your name.
/add [skype login] — this command allows you to add a new participant to the chat. Please note that Skype login should be indicated (not a nickname).
/find [text] — this command searches for the specified text in the chat history. As a result, the first usage of matching text will be displayed.
/leave — this command allows you to leave the chat. Please keep in mind that you won’t be able to come back without chat link or if someone doesn’t add you again.
/topic — this command changes the name of the chat or "subject matter". All participants will get a notification about it.
/info — this command displays the number of participants and the maximum possible number of users that can participate in a chat conversation.
/get uri — this command displays the chat link in your chat window. This is useful if you want to attract new users, for instance, by placing a link on a site. The link is visible only to you.
/undoedit — this command undoes the last change.
/whois [name] command displays user information. Name means Skype login. Member — login,
role — user's role in the chat,
subscribed — if there is a subscription to the chat,
banned — if the user is banned or not,
online locations — network status (sometimes it isn't displayed).
The message is visible only to you.
/get options command displays chat settings that are visible only to you.
/invite [name] generates a Skype call link. If a username is empty, this command generates your personal Skype call link. All users of the chat can see this link.
These are the main commands that may be useful to most users.
Below we will talk about additional commands that are available for group chat creators and moderators. A brief description will give you a better understanding of Skype group chat roles:
Creator is the person who created the chat. He has maximum authority and the right to assign the other roles. There can be only one creator.
Master is a chat moderator. This person can use practically all commands except assigning roles.
Helper differs from standard users only by the ability to chat with the parameter USERS_ARE_LISTENERS on.
User means ordinary user of a chat.
Listener can only read chat messages.
Applicants are the users who are invited to the Skype chat but haven’t been approved by creator or master yet.
Now let’s talk about commands.
/setrole [name] master|helper|user|listener — assigns a new role to a user. Name means Skype username.
/kick [name] — kicks the user out of Skype chat. The message about removing the user by administrator is sent to the chat.
/kickban [name] — kicks the user out of Skype chat and puts him on a banlist.
/set guidelines [text] command allows you to set the rules for Skype chat. If the text is empty the rules won’t be set.
/get guidelines or /get xguidelines command displays chat rules.
/set options (+|-)[flag] command enables you to set options for Skype chat.
+ option is on, - option is off. If + or - isn’t specified the flag will be on by default.
Here is the list of available flags:
USERS_ARE_LISTENERS — if the flag is on, users can't post messages.
USERS_ARE_WRITERS — this flag enables users to post messages.
JOINING_ENABLED — allows new users to freely join the chat (for example, by chat link).
JOINERS_BECOME_APPLICANTS — new users can take part in a chat conversation after authorization by a creator or master.
JOINERS_BECOME_LISTENERS — new users can only read chat messages.
HISTORY_DISCLOSED — if this flag is enabled, new users can see the chat history before their joining. The limit of available history is either 400 messages or 2 weeks of time.
TOPIC_AND_PIC_LOCKED_FOR_USERS — this flag doesn’t allow ordinary users to change the topic text or picture for the chat.
/setpassword [password] [password hint] — this command lets you create a password and password hint for the chat. The password must contain Latin symbols and numbers. If you don’t create the hint, you won’t be able to restore your password. No messages will be displayed after setting the password.
/clearpassword — after using this command chat password will be cancelled.
/get password_hint — this command allows you to get the password hint if the password and the password hint were set. The hint is visible only to you.
/get banlist — this command displays a list of users banned from the chat.
/get allowlist — this command displays a list of users who have access to the chat.
/set banlist (+|-)[login] – this command enables you to create a list of users banned from the chat. + will ban indicated user from the chat, - will allow indicated user to rejoin the chat. + is used by default.
/set allowlist (+|-)[login] — this command lets you set a list of users allowed to participate in the chat. + will allow indicated user to join the chat, - will exclude indicated user from the chat. + is used by default.
/golive [name] — this command starts a call with other participants of the chat. It’s your choice to indicate a call name or not.
We also recommend that you read the article about hidden Skype emoticons.

this video is inspiring – more and more such niche content inspires me to understand how far can niche product go? this youtube account is dedicated to running slow motion videos in various shoes. great!
nice introduction to the last minute of the next video.
the punchline – both are right!
foucault says that current attitude is product of current conditions and therefore real change can not come from it. sounds smart but what can one do about it. sounds depressive.
chomsky says that despite the lack of information we proceed with suggested changes but remain open. great. proactive. actually practical. however he talks about anarcho-syndicalism which is quite a shitty method for change. also the word revolution repeats. scary. luckily chomsky did not bother with revolutions.
this is the key video for me today!
in the beginning chomsky mentions how it is impossible to study human and how little we know. also says how little we know about human and evolution of humans. right on point.
later the discussion goes into religion which is a waste of time.
overall a good 50mins on turbo.

That 90's Show
January 28, 2008
For a show that always pisses the Internet off, last night's The Simpsons really pissed the Internet off. The episode, titled "That 90's Show", showed that Homer and Marge were single and living together in the 1990's.
The episode opens with Lisa performing complex mathematical equations to determine that if Bart is 10 years old and it's 2008, Homer must have gotten Marge pregnant some time around 1997. We learn that Homer paid for Marge to go to college, that she left him for one of her professors, and that Homer was so despondent he invented grunge music and became a self-destructive addict hooked on Sweet Lady I. (Insulin, not heroin. He became diabetic after drinking too many mocha lattes in the 90's.) The Internet is pissed off that the series has retconned (such a dirty word, and not even a real one like 'cromulent') Homer and Marge's history so that they "couldn't" have met during high school in 1974 as was previously established in season two (in 1991 if anyone's counting.)
First, when will some people finally understand that The Simpsons does not subscribe to and cannot be defined by any type of traditional continuity. To demand it of them is foolish and only leads to bitterness and anger. While The Simpsons sometimes maintains a continuity (Maud Flanders died and is still dead, Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel dated for years and broke up), the series is not serialized in that what happened in the past is inviolate. (Dr. Marvin Monroe was dead for several years and suddenly reappeared a while back. "I was very sick," he said. And we move along.)
No matter what, Bart will always be 10 years old. Time passes in the real world - 18 years and counting - but things have to remain the same in Springfield. And yet they have to reflect our times as well, good or bad.
Any Simpsons writer will tell you the series exists in a "flexible reality." Meaning: whatever they want to do to tell a joke is what they'll do. It's not supposed to all hold together in a tidy bow like a traditional television series. It's not designed to. The series' ability to do whatever they want, which they basically invented in its modern form on television so others could follow suit, has always been their strongest trait creatively.
The hard and fast rule for The Simpsons is this: All that matters to them is the joke they're telling, even when the very next joke immediately contradicts it. And they do that on purpose because you cannot maintain the show's status quo while lasting as long as they have and continue to.
How many times have they looked outside of the Simpsons' kitchen window and seen something other than their backyard, for example? How many times have Bart and Lisa gone on summer vacation and returned to Springfield Elementary in the fall right back to Mrs. Krabappel's 4th grade class and Miss Hoover's second grade class? I can't believe people still get up in arms over stuff like that or episodes like "That 90's Show." They're just telling jokes.
The show did not retcon anything in the sense that the previous flashbacks never happened. Homer and Marge did go to high school in the 1970's. All the old flashback episodes hold. (So do all the episodes set in the future, which also contradict each other.) Now they're saying Homer and Marge were single in the 90's. Well, if you do the math, that Bart must always be 10 is the unchangable rule, then it makes sense they were.
Does it contradict what came before? Yes. It's supposed to. To quote Carl in a previous episode: "It's best not to think about it." It's not worth getting bent out of shape over. Reality is whatever they say it is. Does the 90's episode make sense? NO. And the writers don't care because there's no point in making it make sense. All they were really doing was goofing on the 1990's.
If you didn't think the episode was funny, that's cool. I love grunge music, Nirvana, the 90's, and I thought there was some hilarious stuff:
Homer, Lenny, Carl, and Officer Lou as a Color Me Badd-like R&B group. Lenny's hair and facial hair were awesome.
Kirk Van Houten downloading a picture that will take six hours (as long as no one picks up the phone.)
Kurt Loder "reporting from the 90's."
Weird Al's parody of Homer's parody of Nirvana's "Rape Me."
Homer: "He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life."
Bart's line after the commercial break: "Why did you stop talking for two and a half minutes?"
The image of grunged-out Homer with the syringe in his arm might have been the darkest thing the show has ever done. There was no reason to believe it wasn't heroin until Marge said it was insulin. I was kind of jarred by it, but I cite precedence from Homer's line in the golden years episode when Homer was in the B-Sharps: "The fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs."
Now, I didn't love the episode. I liked a lot of the jokes and things like Homer's parody of Bush's "Glycerine" worked for me, but the whole thing overall wasn't one of their best outings. Like many episodes of recent years, the timing was off and a lot of the non-90's specific jokes, especially involving Marge's sleazeball professor, fell flat. But I laughed enough. In the end, laughter is what I want from The Simpsons. And I got it. I don't worry about the rest.
Finally, I would kill for a Sadgasm shirt. If The Simpsons aired on NBC, it would have been available on this morning. |

How do you get people to know about your new app with no contact and how do you get content traction at the initial stage of a web app? I'd like to believe in 'users will come along if your app is good enough' but it will never be good enough if no one knows about it.

I think that there are different paths depending on whether your app is for consumers or business.
If you're targeting business users and you have not been spending time building your network now is the time. I'd start with linkedin, searching for groups that include the kind of users you are targeting. Join the group and try to meet some of the people that could be your users. You can then use that network to try and get users and build some reputation for your application.
Once you have people in your network see if they can point you to the people that are influential in your targeted community. You can then contact them and pitch your application to them and see if they will help spread the word.

I guess Jeff covered it above but the best way is through social media marketing. Brands, products and trends are controlled by media contributors and online influencers such as bloggers, reviewers and digital creators. They are the ones that lead conversations and shape opinions.

1. Do you wanna be my girlfriend~~~
1. Lielac
2. I'm sorry for not being online a lot. I've just been incredibly tired so I only used energy on sites where I knew I could find the people closest to me.
3. i've been cycling through a few movies recently which consist of: the hunchback of notre damefrozenles mis (both movie and 10th anniversary concert depending on whether i want a decent confrontation or to play Spot The Blagden)herculesrent (final performance on broadway, which i don't know if i prefer to the movie or not) however, i watched mask of light a week or so ago which was great. i've missed it a lot and the only time where i wasn't happy was when vakama said "paradise" due to an argument (more like a debate, i didn't storm out and leave my laptop on the floor like when she insulted the fish) my girlfriend and i had about whether he said "paradise" or "island paradise". "island paradise" does roll off the tongue better though, in my opinion. wait do bootlegged musicals recorded on broadway count as movies though because i've watched the original cast of next to normal twice in the past few days. i relate so easily to diana and natalie that it's kind of scary. i want to play natalie so badly but that's likely. (exit sarcasm mode)
4. yep, i photobombed a few at the last con i went to tpbm is not straight/cisgender
5. Hey Neelh, could you PM me a picture of your mask of Clairvoyance? I'm kind of freelancing on Dov's sprite shop and I noticed that you'r sprite isn't complete yet.
6. I did write something, but it never posted. My current typing is incredibly slow due to paunkillers and the internet in hospital works as well as if it was powered by an olympic snail. Just please edit it. it's kind of important
7. Guys, I wrote 306 as waking up and following 7725 around before anyone else woke up, and I'd appreciate it if you could edit your posts to be like that. I sort of have a problem with passing out right now.
8. Kay guys I'm going to hospital now for a while. Look after 306. Don't add any massive plot twists.
9. Please note, it's almost always unwise to go by such advice, as that's coming from your personal tastes, Neelh; GG's tastes may be different. I always advise watching from the start and judging for yourself. And I don't know where you get that the pilots (I assume you mean season 1? -- usually "pilot" means simply the first ever episode of something, not plural) are awful, but to each his own, I guess. I suppose that is so, but I'm just taking notes from the fandom. They're quite different from the main series, which is great. Season 1 also refers to Rise of the Snakes, which is confusing, so we use 'Pilots' to refer to the first mini-series because it wasn't a full season, 'Rise of the Snakes' to refer to what can also be referred to as 'Season 1' or 'Season 2', and 'the last series' to refer to... Well... But back to the main bit of the topic, we basically have Bionicle, just in a couple of different forms as Ninjago and Hero Factory. It's close, but the differences make them individual and not a plain copy.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7695 | CPAN-Tester-WWW-Reports ======================= This distribution contains the files used to run and manage the CPAN Testers Reports website. The CPAN Testers Reports website is built on top of the Labyrinth Website Management System. As such, the code to drive the website is contained within the Labyrinth and associated plugin prerequisites. In order to define the website in terms of functionality, layout and style, the files within the './vhost' directory of this distribution should be installed into your web server's virtual host directory. INSTALLATION This distribution is in two parts, the first is the installer and the second are the website files. In the first instance the installer will install Labyrinth and associated plugins. These library modules form the engine of the website. These can be installed as perl Makefile.PL make make test make install In the second instance, download the latest tarball and copy the contents of the 'vhost' directory into the directory you plan to use to provide access to the Admin. Create an appropriate database in MySQL and load the contents of the SQL file, ./cgi-bin/db/cpanadmin-base.sql. Note that this only provides the base tables and contents. You then need to update the configuration file, ./cgi-bin/config/settings.ini, with the necessary database connection settings, together with the correct paths to your virtual directory. Then you'll need update the run script, ./cgi-bin/pages.cgi, to point your configuration file. Finally, you'll need to update your web server as necessary. The CPAN Testers Reports Administration website runs under Apache2, and the vhost file, ./vhosts.conf, can be adapted as appropriate for other web servers applications. CPAN TESTERS FUND CPAN Testers wouldn't exist without the help and support of the Perl community. However, since 2008 CPAN Testers has grown far beyond the expectations of it's original creators. As a consequence it now requires considerable funding to help support the infrastructure. In early 2012 the Enlightened Perl Organisation very kindly set-up a CPAN Testers Fund within their donatation structure, to help the project cover the costs of servers and services. If you would like to donate to the CPAN Testers Fund, please follow the link below to the Enlightened Perl Organisation's donation site. If your company would like to support us, you can donate financially via the fund link above, or if you have servers or services that we might use, please send an email to with details. Our full list of current sponsors can be found at our I <3 CPAN Testers site.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7735 | Using Raspberry Pi and L298N to make a remote control car Raiders
This article mainly describes the use of Raspberry Pi and L298N to make a simple remote control car, the remote control is implemented using a simple WEB.
Raspberry Pi and L298N make remote control car Raiders
Ready to work
Raspberry Pi, (this article uses Raspberry PI 2 B, ie 2B)
List of SD cards available and unavailable on 8G and above TF card Raspberry Pi
Four-wheel drive car bottom (including motor, Note: The car chassis in this article is wearing a high-torque DC motor)
Mother to mother, male to female, male to male (not available) DuPont line
L298N dual HD bridge motor driver board
Wireless network card (preferably support AP)
Rechargeable battery pack (more than 7V, Ni-MH or 18650 rechargeable battery)
System installation nothing to say, the system burned to SD can be, I use Raspbian, this product is based on Debian, configuration command habits almost the same as ubuntu/debian, connect the Internet cable into the system configuration.
Put in the source of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, and then apt-get update once;
Set a password for the root user;
There are two options for configuring a wireless network card. Edit /etc/network/interface. There are quite a lot of online tutorials:
Automatically connect to the router, there is a wireless router at home, and the car is covered by WIFI;
The Raspberry Pi built a WIFI hotspot, the signal is better, you can open it in the community, by the way, hook up the sister, oh oh, no, it should be naughty children. The only thing that needs attention is the NIC chip.
Chassis assembly
There is no difficulty in assembling, the kraft paper on the acrylic board is so mad, the horse egg, it took a while to tear it off (⊙_⊙)b;
The motor was quite pitted, and the bare wire was bare-metal. It didn't happen to have a soldering iron in the hand. I was forced at that time. Well, there are extra male DuPont lines in the hands, unplug one of the joints, burn it with a lighter (the magical skills learned when you were young), and unplug a part to tighten the copper wire. Finally, the copper wire passes through the small hole in the motor interface and is tightened. Hey, no tape, and finally use the transparent glue to make up, tie tight. Repeat 4 times.
Line connection
Raspberry Pi and L298N make remote control car Raiders
+12V interface
+5V~+35V, if you need to take power inside the board, the power supply range is Vs: +7V~+35V
OUT1 and OUT2 are motor A outputs; OUT3 and OUT4 are motor B outputs
IO interface
ENA and ENA are the enable terminals of the A and B motors respectively. At the beginning, the upper and lower pins of ENA and ENB are connected by jumper caps, and they can be connected by unplugging. IN1-IN4 is the IO control input.
After understanding L298N, the connection is much more convenient.
OUT1 OUT2 Connect the front and rear two motors (parallel) on the left side of the car. Before the motor is connected, the DuPont line male plugs directly into the interface (simply shy) and tightens the screws. Similarly, OUT3 OUT4 connects the front and rear two motors of the car. ;
The anode and cathode of the cheap Ni-MH battery pack are connected to 12V and GND respectively. The connector of the battery pack is JST female, which is better to connect;
5V and GND are connected to the 5V and GND on the Raspberry Pi for power supply.
ENA, ENB, and IN1-IN4 are connected to the Raspberry Pi I/O port.
After picking up, it is like this:
Raspberry Pi and L298N make remote control car Raiders
Camera module
The camera is a camera for the front-end machine for several years. The resolution is 470x640, not 480x640. Under the mjpg-streamer, the picture is spent. After the picture is normal, the picture is like a slide. What the hell! The camera is connected to the wrdr3800 router equipped with openwrt. There is no friend on the wrdr3800 router. It is not possible to adjust it on the Raspberry Pi. It’s not a good idea. Give up, give up, no camera can be used as a remote control car. Here is the demo show:

Car remote control
Finally came to the programming part, for the sake of simplicity, using Python's RPI.GPIO module to operate I / O, but I found that the function is very few, did not find the speed of the API, the document is here, the code is as follows, the wheel parameters of the I /O mouth depends.

ARC Review: Don't Fight the Spark (Soldiers & Mercenaries, #1) by Kasia Bacon
His last match. One he can’t win.
Jewel's rating:
Ĥaiatto Ẽkana and Yüuzuki Ōren have been lovers, in secret, for three years. Always being cautious because the grandson of the head of Lyliňg Fighting House is a vengeful jerk who, for some reason, has had it in for Yüu for three long years. Ĥaiatto and Yüu live on stolen moments, and as much as Ĥaiatto wishes for more, he fears the worst is yet to come.
Ĥaiatto is a healer and his duties include patching up fighters from the Fighting House, including Yüu. Unlike his family, for whom magic is second nature, Ĥaiatto is but a Spark -- one who can wield magic, but can not produce it. He left his homeland so that he wouldn't have that constant reminder.
A hostage to the state, Yüu has no choice but to fight, but he has honor as well as skill, and no matter what gets thrown his way, he prevails. Yüu has been undefeated since he started fighting at Lyliňg Fighting House. Lately, however, his fights have been getting more and more violent, and less and less fair, and if nothing can be done, Yüu will lose more than just his next fight.
Don't Fight the Spark is gripping and engaging and romantic. From the very first sentence, I was sucked right in. Kasia Bacon does what so few authors manage -- she can write a short story, so complete, that, while you will want more, the story is full. And while this novella is longer than her usual fare, I definitely want more. I love her stories so much, it's no surprise I loved this one as well!
The Order Universe is rich and colorful. It's full of magic and delight. And love. Never ever forget love. It's worth fighting for, after all!
ARC of Don't Fight the Spark was generously provided by the author, in exchange for an honest review.

Happy reading!

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7799 | The Real Reason Why Gambling is Not Legal in Indonesia
Much like in India, where sattaking is most popular, gambling is not legal in Indonesia, but there are actually no hard government laws that specifically cover gambling as a prohibited act.
Looking closer, the real driving force behind the ban on gambling activities in Indonesia is the implementation of strict Islamic Laws.
Majority of Indonesia’s Population are Islam Devotees
Indonesia is the only country in which the majority of the population are Muslims. About 85% of Indonesians in the country belong to the Islamic faith; roughly equivalent to about 225 million Indonesian Muslims. Since the country is the fourth most populous region in the world, the number represents nearly 13% of the entire global population of Muslims.
Although Indonesia used to be a predominantly Christian country, the continuing increase in the number of Muslims, likewise saw the gradual reversal of the percentages.
In the early 1990s, when it became apparent that the country was dominated by citizens devoted to Islamic culture and religion, casinos and gambling joints were forced to take their operations underground. However, the advent of online gambling, allowed many adult Indonesians to engage in gambling activities, particularly sports betting.
The Muslim leaders in the country found it necessary to call for the strict implementation of Islamic laws that prohibit gambling in any form. In 2012, government legislative ministries came out with declarations that even gambling and placing of wagers on sports matches via the Internet is illegal.
Still, the Indonesian government encountered difficulties in policing online gambling activities. Yet in deference to Islamic laws and that of the government’s, licensed operators of online casinos and online sportsbooks complied by restricting access to their websites. On a case to case basis, access can be granted; but through an agent representing an online casino and sportsbook operator like SBOBET.
SBOBET Agents and Their Role
SBOBET is an Isle of Man- licensed gambling operator that continues to grant access to Indonesians, but only if the individual was invited by an agen sbobet (SBOBET Agent). As a rule, only individuals related or vetted by an SBOBET affiliate can become a SBOBET Agent.
Through their personal website, SBOBET Agents are tasked to screen individuals before they are given access to the online gambling facility. To make sure that their recruits can successfully complete SBOBET’s registration requisites, accredited agents usually invite friends, relatives and others whom they have come to trust as responsible gamblers.
In addition, a SBOBET support staff will be assigned at the Agent’s website, mainly to assist the registering member who has been approved. If so, the SBOBET support staff will provide a link that will allow the new member to access his or her preferred SBOBET channel/s i.e. online sportsbook and/or online casino. |

Preceded byGBK, GB2312
GB 18030 is a Chinese government standard, described as Information Technology -- Chinese coded character set and defines the required language and character support necessary for software in China. GB18030 is the registered Internet name for the official character set of the People's Republic of China (PRC) superseding GB2312.[1] As a Unicode Transformation Format[a] (i.e. an encoding of all Unicode code points), GB18030 supports both simplified and traditional Chinese characters. It is also compatible with legacy encodings including GB2312, CP936,[b] and GBK 1.0.
In addition to the "GB18030 character encoding", this standard contains requirements about which scripts must be supported, font support, etc.[2]
The GB18030 character set is formally called "Chinese National Standard GB 18030-2005: Information Technology--Chinese coded character set". GB abbreviates Guóji? Bi?ozh?n (?), which means national standard in Chinese. The standard was published by the China Standard Press, Beijing, 8 November 2005. Only a portion of the standard is mandatory.[2] Since 1 May 2006, support for the mandatory subset is officially required for all software products sold in the PRC.
Different Unicode mappings between GB 18030 versions

GB 18030-2000 GB 18030-2005
A8 BC (?) U+E7C7 ḿ
81 35 F4 37 ḿ U+E7C7
An older version of the standard, known as "Chinese National Standard GB 18030-2000: Information Technology--Chinese ideograms coded character set for information interchange--Extension for the basic set", was published on March 17, 2000. The encoding scheme stays the same in the new version, and the only difference in GB-to-Unicode mapping is that GB 18030-2000 mapped the character A8 BC (?) to a private use code point U+E7C7, and character 81 35 F4 37 (without specifying any glyph) to U+1E3F (?), whereas GB 18030-2005 swaps these two mapping assignments.[3]:534 More code points are now associated with characters due to update of Unicode, especially the appearance of CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B. Some characters used by ethnic minorities in China, such as Mongolian characters and Tibetan characters (GB 16959-1997 and GB/T 20542-2006), have been added as well, which accounts for the renaming of the standard.
Compared with its ancestors, GB 18030's mapping to Unicode has been modified for the 81 characters that were provisionally assigned a Unicode Private Use Area code point (U+E000-F8FF) in GBK 1.0 and that have later been encoded in Unicode.[4] This is specified in Appendix E of GB 18030.[3]:534[5]:499 There are 24 characters in GB 18030-2005 that are still mapped to Unicode PUA.[6] According to Ken Lunde, the 2018 Draft of a new revision of GB 18030 will finally eliminate these mappings.[7]

As a national standard
The mandatory part of GB 18030-2005 consists of 1 byte and 2 byte encoding, together with 4 byte encoding for CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A. The corresponding Unicode code points of this subset, including provisional private assignments, lie entirely in the BMP.[3]:3 These parts correspond to the fully mandatory GB 18030-2000.[2]:2
Most major computer companies had already standardised on some version of Unicode as the primary format for use in their binary formats and OS calls. However, they mostly had only supported code points in the BMP originally defined in Unicode 1.0, which supported only 65,536 codepoints and was often encoded in 16 bits as UCS-2.
In a move of historic significance for software supporting Unicode, the PRC decided to mandate support of certain code points[which?] outside the BMP.[] This means that software can no longer get away with treating characters as 16-bit fixed width entities (UCS-2). Therefore, they must either process the data in a variable width format (such as UTF-8 or UTF-16), which are the most common choices, or move to a larger fixed width format (such as UCS-4 or UTF-32). Microsoft made the change from UCS-2 to UTF-16 with Windows 2000.
GB 18030 defines a one (ASCII), two (extended GBK), or four-byte (UTF) encoding. The two-byte codes are defined in a lookup table, while the four-byte codes are defined sequentially (hence algorithmically) to fill otherwise unencoded parts in UCS. GB 18030 inherits the bad aspects of GBK, most notably needing special code to safely find ASCII characters in a GB18030 sequence.
GB 18030 encoding[3]:3[5]:252[10]
GB 18030 code points[c] Unicode
byte 1 (MSB) byte 2 byte 3 byte 4
00 - 7F 128 0000 - 007F
80 -- invalid[d]
81 - FE 40 - FE except 7F[e] 0080 - FFFF except D800 - DFFF[f]
81 - 84 30 - 39 81 - FE 30 - 39
85 -- reserved for future character extension
86 - 8F -- reserved for future ideographic extension
unassigned -- D800 - DFFF[g]
90 - E3 30 - 39 81 - FE 30 - 39 10000 - 10FFFF
E4 - FC -- reserved for future standard extension
FD - FE -- user-defined
FF -- invalid
The one- and two-byte code points are essentially GBK with the euro sign, PUA mappings for unassigned/user-defined points, and vertical punctuations. The four byte scheme can be thought of as consisting of two units, each of two bytes. Each unit has a similar format to a GBK two byte character but with a range of values for the second byte of 0x30-0x39 (the ASCII codes for decimal digits). The first byte has the range 0x81 to 0xFE, as before. This means that a string search routine that is safe for GBK should also be reasonably safe for GB18030 (in much the same way that a basic byte-oriented search routine is reasonably safe for EUC).
This gives a total of 1,587,600 (126×10×126×10) possible 4 byte sequences, which is easily sufficient to cover Unicode's 1,112,064 (17×65536 - 2048 surrogates) assigned, reserved, and noncharacter code points.
Unfortunately, to further complicate matters there are no simple rules to translate between a 4 byte sequence and its corresponding code point. Instead, codes are allocated sequentially (with the first byte containing the most significant part and the last the least significant part) only to Unicode code points that are not mapped in any other manner.[h] For example:
U+00DE (Þ) -> 81 30 89 37
U+00DF (ß) -> 81 30 89 38
U+00E0 (à) -> A8 A4
U+00E1 (á) -> A8 A2
U+00E2 (â) -> 81 30 89 39
U+00E3 (ã) -> 81 30 8A 30
An offset table is used in the WHATWG and W3C version of GB 18030 to efficiently translate code points.[11] ICU[10] and glibc use similar range definitions to avoid wasting space on large sequential blocks.
Windows 2000 can support the GB18030 encoding if GB18030 Support Package[12] is installed. Windows XP can support it natively. The open source PostgreSQL database supports GB18030 through its full support for UTF-8, i.e. by converting it to and from UTF-8. Similarly Microsoft SQL Server supports GB18030 by conversion to and from UTF-16.
More specifically, supporting the GB18030 encoding on Windows means that Code Page 54936 is supported by MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte. Due to the backward compatibility of the mapping, many files in GB18030 can be actually opened successfully as the legacy Code Page 936, that is GBK, even if the Code Page 54936 is not supported. However, that is only true if the file in question contains only GBK characters. Loading will fail or cause corrupted result if the file contains characters that do not exist in GBK (see § Technical details for examples).
GNU glibc's gconv, the character codec library used on most Linux distributions, supports GB 18030-2000 since 2.2,[13] and GB 18030-2005 since 2.14;[14] glibc notably includes non-PUA mappings for GB 18030-2005 in order to achieve round-trip conversion.[15] GNU libiconv, an alternative iconv implementation frequently used on non-glibc UNIX-like environments like Cygwin, supports GB 18030 since version 1.4.[16]
The GB18030 Support Package for Windows contains SimSun18030.ttc, a TrueType font collection file which combines two Chinese fonts, SimSun-18030 and NSimSun-18030. The SimSun 18030 font includes all the characters[clarification needed] in Unicode 2.1 plus new characters found in the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block although, despite its name, it does not contain glyphs for all characters encoded by GB 18030, as all (about a million) Unicode code points up to U+10FFFF can be encoded as GB 18030. GB 18030 compliance certification only requires correct handling and recognition of glyphs in the mandatory (two-byte, and CJK Ext. A) Chinese part.[2]:4 Nevertheless, the requirement of PUA characters in the standard have hampered this implementation.[7]
Other CJK font families like HAN NOM[17] and Hanazono Mincho[18] provide wider coverage for Unicode CJK Extension blocks than SimSun-18030 or even Simsun (Founder Extended), but they don't support all code points defined in Unicode 5.0.0 either.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7817 | How To Always Be a Winner – Sparks
The Talmud teaches that King Solomon wrote the Book of Ecclesiastes after he saw prophetically that his kingdom and the Temple that he worked so hard to build would be destroyed. Imagine what a devastating realization that must have been to know that what you invested your entire life will be destroyed. We can understand why he bemoaned, “Futility of futilities … what profits does a man have from all his work under the sun.”
However, his ultimate resolution was “Revere G-d, live by His commandments — for this is all man is.”
King Solomon realized that our real accomplishments in life is not building the kingdom or the temple on earth, but what we make of ourselves — the kingdom and temple we build in our inner world.
This does not mean that you should not build in this world but rather that you should recognize that what you build on the outside is not the goal but the means to what you build on the inside.
The early pioneers who courageously came to re-settle the land of Israel would often sing, “We have come to build this land and to be built by it.” What is real and lasting about what you build on the outside is how it builds you and others on the inside.
When you live with this understanding you will not be devastated when your kingdom or your temple is destroyed. You will realize that you did the will of G-d to build the kingdom and the temple and although they are destroyed what you built inside yourself can never be destroyed. It is not as if the past was all for naught and you will have to start all over again. Rather you now have new opportunities to continue to build yourself through the challenges and choices the destruction creates. We were not put on earth to build this world but to build ourselves into the living image of G-d. We can always be growing, even — and sometimes, especially — when the world around us is falling apart.
Sometimes the winner is truly the loser and the loser the winner. If the winner learns nothing from his victory and doesn’t grow into a better person, if he simply becomes haughty and obnoxious, then though he holds the trophy in his hands, he is actually the loser. However, if the loser accepts his loss humbly, overcomes feelings of anger, self-pity and chooses to be happy with his lot, then he actually walks off with the greatest victory — an evolved self. He is the trophy.
The Talmud teaches that whatever happens to us is always for the best. People assume that means that if I lose this job it must mean that an even better job is about to come my way. But I am not sure that this is always the case. Losing that great job may be for the best because the next job, which pays less and throws you into a company of very difficult people, gives you a better context for some very life changing choices to know G-d and do good. In this new lousy job you will make less money but become more. In the end, what is best is not what happens on the outside but what happens on the inside. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7838 | Love of the fairer sex may have been less than cool of late, unless you shared that gender, but, it remains a keeper in terms of procreation and the biological imperative, which sustains human existence upon this planet. Enough, however, of dull talk about science, rather, let us skip the light fantastic and dabble in the realm of love. If I said to you, “sparkling jewels and crimson lips”, what would be the first thing that pops into your mind? Would you picture a beautiful woman adorned with jewellery and red lipstick? Does the image move you in any way?
The Media Emphasises the Mouth
Arousal can be assisted by visual aids and accessories, of that, there is little doubt. Women, over the millennia, have employed cosmetic devices to accentuate their appeal. They have, also, been bejewelled as a sign of their wealth and import. In modern terms, the sparkling white teeth of an attractive female have become those sparkling jewels surrounded by crimson lips. Media, in all its forms, emphasise the mouth, with its smile and inherent sexual allure. Dentists everywhere are empowering their clients with brilliant white teeth and making their mark on our society. Peruse this helpful site for a professional example of the phenomenon.
Love Has Been Co-Opted by Commerce
Walk into any food hall in any big city and you will be assailed by the aggressive smiles of those women serving behind their counters. Come hither looks promising extra-large helpings of phos and combination noodle soups. The smile is to sales what the mast is to sailing, it forms the basis upon which all progress is dependent. Today’s sparkling jewels and crimson lips are not to be found in a Mills and Boon romance but on every screen, advertising a billion and one things. Love has been co-opted by commerce to sell stuff.
A Beguiling Maw to Ensure the Survival of the Species
It is a sad day in the lives of you and me. How are the young and naïve to know the difference between the artifice and the real thing? Will the poison spread before it is too late to save the soul of humanity? Has the damage already been done? If you answered yes to the above, I pity the children of your children. I see the whiter than white teeth like sparkling jewels and crimson lips dancing before my eyes, as a parody of what love was meant to be. A beguiling maw to ensure the survival of the species, no less. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7841 | Revolutionary Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction
Men of all ages and sexually active can be affected with erectile dysfunction condition which is an incapability of getting and maintaining an erection during sexual intercourse. The condition is also commonly called impotence and men throughout the ages have looked for a way to successfully treat this sexual dysfunction. There were herbs that partially treated the affliction, but it is only through the development of sildenafil that completely revolutionized the treatment for ED or erectile dysfunction.
The name sildenafil may not ring a bell to everyone, but its other name which is Viagra is known to all. It should be noted that the main and most important ingredient of generic Viagra and Viagra is sildenafil.
In times past, impotence was believed to be caused by psychological problems and while this is true, it only presents one side of the coin. The other side could also be attributed to physical health conditions such as nerve damage, heart problems, hypertension, diabetes, and kidney and liver diseases that can very well cause impotence. These diseases can prevent blood from flowing freely in the penis which is the main reason erection cannot be achieved and maintained.
Sildenafil belongs to the group of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. The main purpose of PDE5 inhibitors is to make blood flow freely which can be achieved by relaxing the muscles and arteries of the different parts of the body. In the case of sildenafil, its main target is to relax the muscles and arteries of the penis to allow blood to be distributed evenly and freely. This action automatically allows the penis to achieve and maintain an erection.
Another wonderful benefit that sildenafil has been discovered to give is the reduction by half of stress hormones in the heart. The drug has been seen to regulate the amount of blood going to the heart which lessens the force needed in order to pump it back to the whole body.
Some tests done in mice using sildenafil showed that it can reverse the effects of the heart muscles that have been damaged by heart enlargement and heart failure. The findings were published in a medical journal, but yet have to be tested in humans before it could be an established fact. The findings have to be weighed against the side effects that sildenafil have on functions of the heart before it could be declared as a potential treatment for some heart problems.
Sildenafil is available in three dosages: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. It is a prescription drug which means that the only way you can purchase and use it would be through a doctor’s prescription. Only your doctor would know the right dosage to use in your case. It should always be remembered that sildenafil should not be used for recreational purposes which might be very dangerous, or taken by men who do not suffer from erectile dysfunction problems. The drug is not meant to add further sexual libido in normal men. It was developed to help the millions of men who have suffered silently with their impotence problems. |

Last night The Ithaca College New Voices Literary Festival hosted a staged reading of The Wolves, a brilliant first play written by Sarah DeLappe. As the Lincoln Center describes it:
“At its most straightforward, THE WOLVES is a fly-on-the-wall look at a girls’ high school soccer team as they go through their warm-ups. Beyond the surface, though, is the thoughtful and eloquent way Ms. DeLappe delineates each of the young women in the space of 90 minutes and six scenes.”
The Wolves has become a sort of cultural phenomenon, earning DeLappe many prizes, such as an Obie Ensemble Award and a Drama Desk Award; DeLappe was also a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
“Thrilling! THE WOLVES keeps you on the edge of your seat.”
The Cherry Artspace hosted this final event of the New Voices Festival!

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/7892 | From Mind Management and Raja Yoga, Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
Abhyasa means practice. What kind of practice? To regulate the mind. Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita (2:58):
Yadaa samharate chaayam kurmon-gaaneeva sarvashaha; Indriyaaneendriyaarthebhyastasya prajnaa pratishtthitaa.
Like a turtle which draws its limbs from all directions into its shell, a person should also withdraw all the senses from sense objects. Only then will the mind become steady.
This is the practice to be undertaken to harness the mental faculties. Sri Krishna says that the mind is connected to sense objects. It follows the senses wherever they go. Therefore, withdraw the mind from following the senses. If the eyes look at something pleasant, recognize it. At the same time, say, “Yes, it is beautiful, I appreciate it”, and stop there. Acknowledge it, accept it and stop there. Don’t crave it. Don’t be obsessed by it. The moment you begin to crave, you are obsessed by the need to possess something. If the ears hear something nice, acknowledge it, appreciate it, but don’t be attached to it. If the nose smells something nice, acknowledge it, appreciate it, but don’t hanker after it. In this way, you will gradually withdraw the mind from following the senses and creating more desires and expectations.
Right now, your mind is a slave to the senses. When the mind becomes a slave to the senses, the senses also become a slave to the mind. Both fuse into one. There is no distinction between a sense experience and a mental experience because at one point they come together and merge into one. If you look at something delicious to eat, your mind is desiring it. Your mind has merged with the desire, the vision, the expectation, the hunger, the taste, everything.
Remember, the mind and the senses are not two separate things, although they are spoken of as such. They are gross and subtle behaviours of the same shakti, the same power. The senses are the gross behaviour and the mind is the subtle behaviour of the same cosmic power. When the senses are active, the mind fuses with the senses and follows the senses all around. When the mind disassociates from the senses, as happens during sleep at night, it establishes itself independently of the sense experiences. The mind continues to exist, but the senses don’t exist.
In sleep, smells don’t bother you, visions don’t bother you, different sensations don’t bother you until and unless they become extreme. Only when they become extreme do they draw the mind out from its self-identification and into the outer gross dimension. At night you hear many sounds, but you are not disturbed by them. However, if the telephone rings you will be disturbed, as that extreme sound will draw the mind out from its own identification with deep sleep. Several mosquitoes can bite you while you are asleep and you will not even be aware of it until a delicate spot is touched, and then you will be forced to open your eyes and make yourself comfortable.
When the mind is established in its own identity, the senses have to become more powerful than the mind in order to draw it out. This is what happens during the sleep state. In the normal waking state, the senses and the mind act and function as one entity, one power, one experience. If the senses are withdrawn from the sense objects in the waking state as well, the mind will become still and established in itself. Sri Krishna has used the term prajna in this context, not manah. He says (2:58:2):
Tasya prajnaa pratishthitaa.
One (whose senses are withdrawn) is established in prajna.
Sri Krishna is indicating a specific faculty of the mind. Prajna is higher intelligence. It relates to the faculty of buddhi with which one decides upon joy OR sorrow, and which thus becomes the cause of agitation of the senses.
Objects of enjoyment will always exist. At the beginning of creation when life had not manifested, something existed. Human beings were not there, but objects were there. When human beings cease to exist and creation remains, objects will continue to exist. Creation is made of object and subject, while life is formed out of prana and relates to living beings. Even when there are no living beings, the objects and subjects of enjoyment will remain. Living beings come into creation to enjoy them, and when the time period for which they were meant to enjoy is over, they depart. Therefore, Sri Krishna’s words signify that sense objects will always exist, but you have to make the effort to withdraw the senses from them. Just as a tortoise withdraws its limbs, withdraw the mind. This is the abhyasa or practice that needs to be undertaken. The sequence indicated in the Bhagavad Gita is the sequence of raja yoga, which is expounded in the Yoga Sutras. |

What the world needs right now is a new RAGING SPEEDHORN album. The world probably doesn't realize it yet, not least because the Corby bruisers had their greatest triumphs in the UK, but when nothing else but riffs and screaming make sense, "Hard To Kill" definitely sounds like the antidote to something. For the uninitiated, RAGING SPEEDHORN began life as a snotty, amphetamine-fueled update to the then flourishing sludge metal formula. They caused chaos wherever they went, but the music was always monstrous and undeniable. In fact, even 2007's wildly off-piste "Before the Sea Was Built" is worth a second look, but it's the band's brutal, rock 'n' roll-powered early tunes that earned them near-legendary status at home. And fittingly, as with 2016's excellent "Lost Ritual", the band's sixth studio album doesn't bother trying to be clever or pursue notions of progress, instead, this is a joyful explosion of heavy metal blood 'n' thunder, informed by MOTÖRHEAD, BLACK SABBATH, BLACK FLAG and 50 years of enormous, cranium-busting riffs.
Rampaging opener "Snakebite" hurls the gauntlet down, delivered at a breathless pace and with both vocalists — OG frontman Frank Regan and his incensed cohort Dan Cook — bellowing to an eyeball-bursting point. "Doom Machine" is just that: one-part slithering, slow-motion muscle, one-part ruinous, driving acid rock freak-out (replete with psychedelic keys). The bass tone on "Spitfire" is gnarly enough to cause a rectal prolapse, with the song itself is a haughty, lurching thing with tons of bad attitude and lyrics spat out with poisonous brio. Even better, the title track is a balls-out Motör-slammer that somehow manages to echo the all-out intensity of early SPEEDHORN gems like "Super Scud" and "The Gush" while simultaneously sounding like the best/dirtiest punk rock song you've never heard.
The second half of "Hard To Kill" sustains the almost comically furious tone of the first. "Hammer Down" is a lumbering dirge that ripples with ill intent; "Hand Of God" is a snarling burst of pure gutter metal; "Brutality" is all sledgehammer grooves and shattered teeth, before the mother of all weirdo(om) riffs kicks in; "The Best" is piss-stinking urban blues, fed through the SPEEDHORN riff-prism and wallowing in bad juju. Even a surprisingly straight cover of T. REX's immortal "Children Of The Revolution" sounds like it might jump through your speakers and force you to snort vodka. That is, after all, what made RAGING SPEEDHORN stand out in the first place. Over two decades into their reign of destruction, they appear to be more unstoppably up for it than ever.

AppleTV update adds Airtunes! AppleTV now appears as speakers in iTunes
Having successfully updated my AppleTV the other day, I noticed something new in iTunes….
Along with my local “Computer” speakers and Airport Express “Lounge” speakers that I used to have in iTunes
the AppleTV now appeared in the drop down list of available speakers to stream music to:
I hit play in iTunes and selected the AppleTV speakers from the selection box, after a few seconds pause to connect with the AppleTV, my song started streaming through the TV speakers and surround system in my lounge.
This is great news for me as I only purchased my Airport Express to stream music to the Lounge since the AppleTV didn’t have Airtunes functionality. Now I can remove the Airport Express and put that into the kitchen, and I was about to buy another Airport Express just for that so I’ve saved £70 thanks to Apple’s free update.
There is an new option page in the AppleTV settings for Airtunes allowing you to turn the feature on/off and also set an Airtunes password:
If you have your TV turned on and showing the AppleTV source, when you change tracks on your computer/laptop and stream to the Apple TV Airtunes speakers the corresonding track name and album art are shown on the TV as if you were selecting and playing the music from the Apple TV.

Hello Danisay.
That depends on the requirements from the receiver side.
In my case, I kept the same structure, so no special mapping here (besides the Variable + UDF).

Hello! Diogo Awaihara
I have the same scenario IDOC sender to HTTP_AAE Receiver, but I do not know how to design in ESR, should have the same structure xml either side? i must use java mapping ? Please can you help me with esta scenario.
By: Wilbert Karremans Tue, 22 Sep 2015 06:45:07 +0000 In reply to Former Member.
With the help of Mark I found the correct solution. We are running PI 7.30 SP5.
First of all, I mentioned in my example the path like:
That must be:
When passing my parameters dynamically, the following was successful:
1) path name contains only a / (do not put ? or &)
2) pass only the values for the parameter in the UDF (in the beginning I passed both keyword and value).
3) Within the ASMP you specify the keywords
In my example:
Parameter 1 (URLParamOne): login
Parameter 2 (URLParamTwo): password
Parameter 3 (URLParamThree): method
Parameter 4 (URLParamFour): order_ref
I found out that it is does not support a password containing a &. Even when a use %26 instead of a & it did not work. I have to avoid using a & in the password.

Hi W,
It was just an example. Here is an example where a query string is used
The URL above points to a webservice that returns the stocks based on the symbol value, in this case HPQ. Based on that, the settings for the HTTP_AAE should be
Port: 80
Path: /stockquote.asmx/GetQuote
symbol should be placed in URLParamOne.

Hi Mark
I am not using the SOAP adapter. I use the HTTP (Post) adapter as shown in the blog.
Any help is welcome regarding to the setup for the path. I am able to see the values for my 4 parameters in DynamicConfiguration.

Hi Mark
(I use my new scn account).
This is not a SOAP channel. I use the exact same adapter as mentioned in this blog. Any ideas?
By: Mark Dihiansan Sat, 19 Sep 2015 01:11:28 +0000 In reply to Former Member.
The format is as follows:
Take the SOAP sender for example:
port: 50000
path: /XISOAPAdapterMessageServlet
queryString: channel=p:s:c

Hi Diogo,
This is exactly what I need. I have my parameters in the DynamicConfiguration, but I do not know how to define the path in the channel. I have 4 URLParm parameters: login, password, method and order_ref. I tried many things, but I was not able to figure this out.
my path looks like:
Example: URLParamOne contains value login=username

How linguists are using the Urban Dictionary (which sounds like it should be rebranded as the Urban Dicktionary, but I digress.) Mostly I use it to decipher my kids’ texts.
With its crowdsourced definitions and high speed of coinage, Urban Dictionary is very much a product of the internet age. But it also continues a long history of recording low-brow language: dictionaries of English slang have been around in some form for centuries. The slang dictionaries of the seventeenth century were considered useful for clueing readers into the language of thieves and cheats, which itself was part of an older tradition of exoticizing the language of the poor and criminal. By 1785, Francis Grose’s Classic Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue extended the slang lexicon beyond the middle-class conception, adding terms such as bum fodder (for toilet paper).

Publisher Description
Born in London, Chesterton was educated at St. Paul's, but never went to college. He went to art school. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.'s Weekly. (To put it into perspective, four thousand essays is the equivalent of writing an essay a day, every day, for 11 years. If you're not impressed, try it some time. But they have to be good essays, all of them, as funny as they are serious, and as readable and rewarding a century after you've written them.) Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology. His style is unmistakable, always marked by humility, consistency, paradox, wit, and wonder. His writing remains as timely and as timeless today as when it first appeared, even though much of it was published in throw away paper. This man who composed such profound and perfect lines as "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried," stood 6'4" and weighed about 300 pounds, usually had a cigar in his mouth, and walked around wearing a cape and a crumpled hat, tiny glasses pinched to the end of his nose, swordstick in hand, laughter blowing through his moustache. And usually had no idea where or when his next appointment was. He did much of his writing in train stations, since he usually missed the train he was supposed to catch. In one famous anecdote, he wired his wife, saying, "Am at Market Harborough. Where ought I to be?" His faithful wife, Frances, attended to all the details of his life, since he continually proved he had no way of doing it himself. She was later assisted by a secretary, Dorothy Collins, who became the couple's surrogate daughter, and went on to become the writer's literary executrix, continuing to make his work available after his death. This absent-minded, overgrown elf of a man, who laughed at his own jokes and amused children at birthday parties by catching buns in his mouth, was the man who wrote a book called The Everlasting Man, which led a young atheist named C.S. Lewis to become a Christian. This was the man who wrote a novel called The Napoleon of Notting Hill, which inspired Michael Collins to lead a movement for Irish Independence. This was the man who wrote an essay in the Illustrated London News that inspired Mahatma Gandhi to lead a movement to end British colonial rule in India. This was a man who, when commissioned to write a book on St. Thomas Aquinas (aptly titled Saint Thomas Aquinas), had his secretary check out a stack of books on St.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/8103 | Bugfixes: * fix Fedora's cups.rpm to use tmpfiles instead of /lib/udev/devices/ * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services. * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around. * make polkit checks async * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point. Features: * place start-pre/start-post/... scripts in sub cgrouprs * Make RuntimeWatchdogUSec= property writable * make gtk-doc optional (like kmod?) * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests in initramfs * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils? * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device * udev: libudev.so.1 - remove deprecated symbols - use symbol versioning - return object with *_unref() - kill: udev_monitor_from_socket() - kill: udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry() * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf * PrivateTmp should apply to both /tmp and /var/tmp * fstab should take priority over units in /usr * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording * journal: if mmap() fails for mapping window try to unmap a a few older maps * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting * add man page documenting all kernel cmdline options, including stuff like fsck.mode= * show getty in container mode, not sulogin * support container_ttys= * journald: make configurable "store-on-var", "store-on-run", "dont-store", "auto" (store-persistent, store-volatile?) * Add ConditionReadWriteFileSystem= so that systemd-sysctl doesn't get executed when /proc/sys is read-only * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages * introduce NeedsMounts= or so to create .mount dependencies automatically for a specific path * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units * add shutdown inhibit API for usage by libvirt and friends * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid * support chrony in addition to ntpd in timedated * document crypttab(5) * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console) * when dumping cgroup contents, include main/control PID of a service, explicitly * keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100 * D-Bus: always pass cred data along each message * journal: allow turning off logging entirely * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365) * make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/ * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt? * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing. * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id * journald: reuse XZ context * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API * write RPM spec macros for presets * journal: write man pages for API * journal: OR matches are borked * journal: extend hash tables as we go * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field" * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server * journal: message catalog * journal: forward-secure signatures * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before * systemctl journal command * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering * systemctl status: show coredumps * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting) * journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode) * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty * support "systemctl stop [email protected]" to stop all units matching a certain template * move to LGPL2+ * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible. * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys * automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary. * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B needs to be auto-respawned? * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "[email protected]" in "systemctl list-unit-files" * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas) * don't set $HOME in services unless requested * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too. * allow Type=simple with PIDFile= https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942 * move PAM code into its own binary * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket * logind: spawn [email protected] on login * logind: non-local X11 server handling * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services. * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd" * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1) * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other. * move nss-myhostname into systemd * and a dbus call to generate target from current state * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files * add support for /bin/mount -s * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs) * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set * write blog stories about: - enabling dbus services - status update - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes - remote access - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd - resource control in systemd * allow port=0 in .socket units * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line. * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp? * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2 * Support --test based on current system state * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support. * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre= * configurable jitter for timer events * timer events with system resume * timer events on calendar time * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction' * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445) http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=99ee5315dac6211e972fa3f23bcc9a0343ff58c4 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types * exec settings override * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID: - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!)

It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want the RTC to sync up. * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/8121 | If you’re an ONTRAPORT user and you don’t use Tracked Links, you’re missing a big opportunity to save time!
A while ago I saw a question in the ONTRAPORT User Community group on Facebook that made me realized how little is known of tracked links. This company had a problem with a bad link that was placed in over 80 email messages. And they had to change it. Manually. The only reason for that was that they didn’t use a tracked link in the first place. But we’ve all been there.
What are ONTRAPORT tracked links?
A tracked link is like a pretty link, short link, 301 redirect – all in one. It’s a redirect link that is being tracked by the system the same way any link in any email is tracked – by a redirect.
You get a link that looks like this yourdomain.ontraport.com/tl/1
The magic is that you can change the destination URL as often as you want. And the tracked link stay the same.
A note: When you rely on ONTRAPORT Tracked links, keep in mind that it might take up to 15 minutes for the system to detect the click. So don’t set automation rules that you expect (and need to) fire ASAP. Find another way to do those.
How to create a tracked link?
where to create tracked links
Navigate to Tracking, then select Tracked Links and then – New Tracked Link
Next, here are the settings:
creating a tracked link
Choose the name and add the destination link
Where can you use Tracked links?
Those links can be so valuable for saving time or completing specific actions in the system with one click. A rule of thumb is to create a tracked link if you plan to use the same link in more than 1-2 email messages. This will save you from experiencing the same problem as the one described in the beginning of this post.
What’s specific to all of them is that you need a Global rule to have the action-based result. But that’s easy to set up too!
global rule for ontraport tracked links
This is how you setup a global rule triggered by a tracked link
But tracked links offer other solutions too. Here is a list of them:
1. Re-engage inactive users
We all have them and I like keeping my database clean and active. When you send the re-engagement emails, place a tracked link that leads to a Thank-you-for-keeping-in-touch page. Link it to a button that asks people to confirm they still want to hear from you. Create a Global rule. You’re done!
2. Subscribe people to a content list/ Segment people based on interest and actions
Your contacts might be interested in a new content theme you’re producing. Ask them and have them click on a tracked link if they want to be emailed with the updates.
I added the segmentation here too, because if someone is interested in a type of content (or completes a set of predefined actions), then that person belongs to a segment in your database. Use it wisely.
3. Unsubscribe contacts from a content list
Same as above but works the other way around. You are hosting a promotion – but probably some of your clients will be bored with it and might hit the Unsubscribe button. Allow them to manage their preferences with one simple click – they say “I don’t want to receive info regarding this campaigns” and you take them off the list. All is automated!
4. Send additional offers
When you ask people if they want additional information regarding an offer, a product or just your services, they can click on the link to confirm they do. Then a new email is triggered to be sent to them. Either via a sequence or just as a once-off email. Simple and effective.
5. Register people for a webinar
You might have heard of the LeadLinks by LeadPages? This is the same but better. Better, because you don’t need to create an optin form. All you need is a Global Rule that says: “When Contact clicks on Tracked Link XYZ, ping URL” and ping Gotowebinar. Or add the contact to a sequence that takes care of the registrations.
6. Send a notification to an external service
Some businesses use external services to track some user interest and interactions. If you have a Slack channel for your sales team, maybe you want each contact that does something (like clicking on a link to request a call or a demo), to be fed into that channel. Or you want to issue a quote from your invoicing software.
Those are just the most common uses of Tracked links. Their versatility make them perfect for so many different things that there is no limit to using them.
And as you don’t have a limit to the number of tracked links, it will be a waste of potential not to implement them in your automation strategy. |

Embree: High Performance Ray Tracing Kernels 3.6.0-beta.0 % Intel Corporation
Embree Overview
Intel® Embree is a collection of high-performance ray tracing kernels, developed at Intel. The target users of Intel® Embree are graphics application engineers who want to improve the performance of their photo-realistic rendering application by leveraging Embree's performance-optimized ray tracing kernels. The kernels are optimized for the latest Intel® processors with support for SSE, AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instructions. Intel® Embree supports runtime code selection to choose the traversal and build algorithms that best matches the instruction set of your CPU. We recommend using Intel® Embree through its API to get the highest benefit from future improvements. Intel® Embree is released as Open Source under the Apache 2.0 license.
Intel® Embree supports applications written with the Intel® SPMD Program Compiler (ISPC, by also providing an ISPC interface to the core ray tracing algorithms. This makes it possible to write a renderer in ISPC that automatically vectorizes and leverages SSE, AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instructions. ISPC also supports runtime code selection, thus ISPC will select the best code path for your application.
Intel® Embree contains algorithms optimized for incoherent workloads (e.g. Monte Carlo ray tracing algorithms) and coherent workloads (e.g. primary visibility and hard shadow rays).
The single-ray traversal kernels of Intel® Embree provide high performance for incoherent workloads and are very easy to integrate into existing rendering applications. Using the stream kernels, even higher performance for incoherent rays is possible, but integration might require significant code changes to the application to use the stream paradigm. In general for coherent workloads, the stream mode with coherent flag set gives the best performance.
Intel® Embree also supports dynamic scenes by implementing high-performance two-level spatial index structure construction algorithms.
In addition to the ray tracing kernels, Intel® Embree provides some Embree Tutorials to demonstrate how to use the Embree API.
Supported Platforms
Embree supports Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), Linux (64-bit), and macOS (64-bit). The code compiles with the Intel® Compiler, GCC, Clang, and the Microsoft Compiler.
Using the Intel® Compiler improves performance by approximately 10%. Performance also varies across different operating systems, with Linux typically performing best as it supports transparently transitioning to 2MB pages.
Embree is optimized for Intel CPUs supporting SSE, AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instructions, and requires at least a CPU with support for SSE2.

Whitelisting with resolvable random address
I have a device (peripheral) that uses the link loss service. If this service is set, and the link is lost, an alarm goes off. I only want to allow previously bonded devices to connect back to the peripheral during this alarm condition. This would normally be handled by whitelisting. However, iOS devices (and I assume android too) uses resolvable random addresses, so their address changes.
I don't have a problem switching from Scan Any Connect Any to Scan Any Connect Whitelist, I just set the struct value cyBle_discoveryParam.advFilterPolicy = CYBLE_GAPP_SCAN_ANY_CONN_WHITELIST. My problem is that the whitelisted address becomes obsolete after the iOS client changes its address.
My (limited) understanding of resolvable random addresses seems like I should be able to "resolve" the random address. That is, I can figure out if the new iOS address is from the same client as before using the IRK (Identity Resolving Key). Does my app have access to the IRK? How can I use this to update the whitelist, or to check if a new client trying to connect is actually an old bonded device? Thoughts? |

Hi @ok1410, welcome to RStudio Community.
Those are just warnings that the tidyverse contains functions named filter() and lag() which are also present in other packages. As a result, the functions in stats have been masked (superseded) by the ones in tidyverse. Generally, you won't have problems as a result of those conflicts.
Hey thanks your your answer :wink: so does this mean that the download of this package was successful ? And do you know if there is a way to use German as my language in r studio ?

Yes, it was successful. Sorry, I've never tried using RStudio in a language other than English. Maybe another community member will be able to guide you.

Can a cross-platform compiler be written from scratch, live on stage, in an hour? It can with the right tools!
In this session I will talk about many challenges in cross-platform C++ development and how tools can help: what options do I have if my production environment is different than my dev box? How can I efficiently build and debug CMake projects? How can I easily find and acquire open sourced libraries? Come to see what Visual Studio 2019, CMake, WSL2, vcpkg and more have to offer to make cross-platform C++ development easier.
Even if you're not using these tools, there's still a lot to make you think about how your tools can help you in your development, so come along!

The Form Notifications add-on helps you send emails to one or more recipients when a new form response is received. These email notifications can be customized with HTML, and they can include a copy of the entire form response and even answers to specific questions.
Email Template Editor
Launch Email Template
The default email template includes a list of user's answers in tabular format but you can completely customize the template as per your needs. Each rule will have a single email template but you can create multiple rules for the same form and each rule can have different template so different emails go out to different recipients for the same form response.
To get started, create a new rule for sending notifications, or edit an existing rule, and click the Edit icon near the Use a Visual Editor option to launch the email template designer.
This will open a new editor where you can customize the subject line and the body text of your email messages that go out when someone submits a new form entry.
Email Template
Inside the WYSIWYG editor, you make text bold, change the background and foreground colors, add hyperlinks, insert images, change the text alignment and apply other basic formatting.
You can also include dynamic form fields in the email subject and message body and personalize the notification with form answers. |

Black Comedy
Marquee for the original Broadway production at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 1967
Written byPeter Shaffer
Date premiered1965
Place premieredNational Theatre
Chichester, England
Original languageEnglish
Setting9:30 on a Sunday night
Mid 1960s
South Kensington, London
Brindsley Miller's flat
Black Comedy is a one-act farce by Peter Shaffer, first performed in 1965. The premise of the piece is that light and dark are transposed, so that when the stage is lit the cast are supposed to be in darkness and only when the stage is dark are they supposed to be able to see each other and their surroundings. A young sculptor, and his fiancée have borrowed some expensive antique furniture from a neighbour's flat without his permission to impress an elderly millionaire art collector. When the power fails, the neighbour returns early, other people also arrive unexpectedly, and matters descend into near-chaos.
Background and first production[edit]
In the early spring of 1965, Kenneth Tynan, dramaturge of the National Theatre, commissioned Shaffer to write a one-act play to accompany a production of Miss Julie starring Maggie Smith and Albert Finney. Shaffer later wrote in the introduction to his 1982 Collected Plays:
Without much conviction, but with the sort of energy which Tynan always elicited from me, I described my idea of a party given in a London flat, played in Chinese darkness – full light – because of a power failure in the building. We would watch the guests behave in a situation of increasing chaos, but they would of course remain throughout quite unable to see one another. Ever one to appreciate a theatrical idea, Tynan dragged me off instantly to see Laurence Olivier, the director of the National. In vain did I protest that there really was no play, merely a convention, and that anyway I had to travel immediately to New York to write a film script. Olivier simply looked through me with his own Chinese and unseeing eyes, said "It's all going to be thrilling!" and left the room.[1]
Shaffer set about composing the play. To produce a more sustaining dramatic premise than the mere gimmick of inverse lighting, Shaffer devised the notion that one of the characters had a reason to actually keep the others in the dark. It was from this necessity that the idea of the stolen furniture was conceived, and the theme of lies was solidified. Brindsley would keep his guests in the dark – both figuratively and literally.
Tynan later said of the rehearsal process, "This was farce rehearsed in farce conditions." Owing to scheduling difficulties at Chichester, Black Comedy was given very little rehearsal time, and it opened without a single public preview. The play was directed by John Dexter – who had directed Shaffer's previous play The Royal Hunt of the Sun, and later directed Equus – with what Shaffer called "blazing precision." He added that "it was acted with unmatchable brio by Smith and Finney, by Derek Jacobi as an incomparable Brindsley, and by Graham Crowden as a savagely lunatic Colonel Melkett".[1] Smith had previously starred in two of Shaffer's previous plays, The Private Ear and The Public Eye, which were performed as a double bill at the Globe Theatre.[2]
The play is written to be staged under a reversed lighting scheme: the play opens on a darkened stage. A few minutes into the action there is a short circuit, and the stage is illuminated to reveal the characters in a "blackout". On the few occasions when matches, lighters, or torches are lit, the lights grow dimmer.
Black Comedy was first presented at the Chichester Festival Theatre by the National Theatre on 27 July 1965, and subsequently at the Old Vic, London, directed by Dexter with the following cast:

The play begins in complete darkness.
Brindsley Miller, a young sculptor, and his debutante fiancée, Carol Melkett, have stolen some very expensive antiques from his neighbour Harold Gorringe, who is away for the weekend, to spruce up his normally slum-like apartment to impress Carol's father and a wealthy prospective buyer named Georg Bamberger. Before the guests arrive, a fuse in the cellar short-circuits causing a blackout. The stage is instantly illuminated.
As Brindsley and Carol search for matches, the phone rings and Brindsley answers. It is his previous mistress Clea, who has just returned from Finland. Brindsley hurriedly distracts Carol, and refuses to see Clea.
Miss Furnival, the occupant of the flat upstairs, enters seeking refuge from her fear of the dark. Miss Furnival is a spinster and lifelong teetotaller. They ring the London Electricity Board, but are told only that an electrician might arrive some time later that night.
When Carol's father, Colonel Melkett, arrives he takes an almost instant dislike to Brindsley, and is unimpressed with one of his sculptures – a large work in iron with two prongs.
Harold Gorringe returns from his weekend early. Brindsley quickly pulls Harold into the flat so that he will not go into his own and discover the thievery. In the dark, Harold does not realise that the room is full of his own things. As Carol blindly mixes everyone drinks, Brindsley attempts to restore as much of the stolen furniture to Harold's flat as possible.
There is a mix-up as Carol hands out the drinks in the dark, and Miss Furnival is given liquor by mistake. She is hooked after her first taste, and stealthily procures more. Harold discovers Brindsley and Carol's engagement, and is furious at the news. It is obvious that he himself has secret feelings for Brindsley. (It is also implied that Brindsley might also be having an affair with Harold.)
Clea enters unannounced. In the confusion, Brindsley catches hold of her bottom, and instantly recognises it. He manages to retreat with her to the loft, where his desperate pleas that she leave dissolve into passionate kisses. When she refuses to go, he concedes that she can stay in the loft, if she will not come downstairs.
The electrician, a German named Schuppanzigh, arrives to mend the fuse, and everyone excitedly mistakes him for Bamberger. The electrician, with his lit torch, catches sight of the sculpture, and is extremely impressed. Schuppanzigh, who was highly educated in art at Heidelberg, praises Brindsley's work with great eloquence. Just as the statue seems on the verge of being sold for five hundred guineas, they realise who he really is. The group turns on him in indignation, and Schuppanzigh is cast down to the cellar to mend the fuse.
Clea emerges from the loft, and discovers Brindsley's engagement. Outraged, she dashes vodka over the startled guests. When Clea reveals herself, Carol is horrified. But her hysterics are interrupted by Miss Furnival who, completely inebriated, erupts into a drunken tirade, ranting on the terrors of the modern supermarket, calling to her dead father, and prophesying a judgement day when "the heathens in their leather jackets" will be "stricken from their motorcycles." She is led out by a consoling Harold. Carol breaks off the engagement and the Colonel is livid.
When Harold discovers the state of his room, he returns to Brindsley's flat mad with fury. He pulls one of the metal prongs out of the statue, and advances on him. The Colonel follows suit, pulling out the other prong, and together they advance on the terrified sculptor.
Now, finally, Georg Bamberger arrives. This time, the guests mistake the millionaire for the electrician, until Schuppanzigh emerges from the cellar, and declares that the fuse is fixed. The startled guests realize that Bamberger has, at long last, arrived, and Brindsley exclaims happily "Everything's all right now! Just in the nick of time!" But just as he says this, Bamberger falls into the open trapdoor. As Harold, Colonel Melkett, and Carol advance on Brindsley and Clea, Schuppanzigh turns on the lights with a great flourish. There is instant darkness.
Shaffer described the opening night of Black Comedy the performance as "a veritable detonation of human glee", and wrote of an audience member sobbing with laughter and calling out in pain.[1] The reviews were generally good. The Times said of the piece, "It may not be a milestone in the development of English drama, but it is a very funny play".[4] J. C. Trewin in The Illustrated London News thought the piece overlong: "If this were a revue, we might consider ten minutes ample".[5] The reviewer in The Stage concurred that the piece was too long, finding it "for some time clever, surprising, funny, until, fifteen minutes or so before the end Mr Shaffer's invention, and so the impact of the piece, weakens."[6] Claudia Cassidy in The Chicago Tribune also thought the play overlong, but noted that "some of the sight and sound gags are so flawless … that the audience is reduced to jelly".[7] The Tatler's reviewer found the play "one of the funniest farces I can remember seeing".[8] Penelope Gilliatt in The Observer gave the piece a moderate welcome but found it "a blinding idea not very boldly pursued".[9] In The Guardian, Philip Hope-Wallace called it "an uproarious piece of slapstick vaudeville … sometimes a little long, but it comes to a magnificent climax almost worthy of Feydeau".[10] When the first Broadway production opened in 1967, John Chapman wrote in The Daily News, found that the author sustained the comedy from start to finish: "I was sorry indeed when the stage went dark and the farce ended".[11]
The White Liars[edit]
Black Comedy is often performed with another Peter Shaffer one-act, The White Liars, to form the double-bill of The White Liars and Black Comedy. The two plays are published together. The White Liars was first performed in 1967 under the title White Lies, with the original Broadway production of Black Comedy. It was billed as a "curtain-raiser" to Black Comedy. Peter Shaffer retitled the play for subsequent productions.
The White Liars is shorter than Black Comedy. It concerns a down-on-her-luck fortune teller living in a decaying seaside resort, and the two young men – Tom, the lead singer in a rock band, and Frank, his business manager – who consult her. It is more serious than its farcical companion piece.
First Broadway production[edit]

Film adaptation[edit]
In 1970, Peter Shaffer's twin brother, Anthony Shaffer, had adapted Black Comedy into a screenplay, announcing that it would be his next project, but the film was not produced.[17]

He looked to her as the clouds above threatened to end peace.
‘We need one day!’ She pleaded. ‘Please, let us warn the others before
you spread the acidity.’ Laughing among each other, the clouds rejected her
request and countered with nine hundred seconds, ‘you’ve had your time, more
than we should have ever given. Save your skin before we revert and rain on your
existence.’ Diverging into his eyes, she promised that she wouldn’t abandon their
people, ‘go West, warn the elders. If they won’t listen, focus on those that will.’
Taking off his backpack, he clothed her with it, ‘no, I’ll stay behind. There’s
an umbrella inside with at least one use left, it should keep you alive
until you reach the city’s end.’ Stealing a kiss, he quickly ran
in the other direction, ‘we’ll meet again. Remember
us, remember where you came from.’

An unpredictable development in popular culture, Ancient Astronaut Theory grows more mainstream. The work of Zecharia Sitchin, Eric Van Däniken, and David Hatcher Childress, made popular on The History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, offers a new spirituality for the pseudo-scientifically minded. Most viewers know little of the history of this deceptive theory which finds its origin in Madam Blavatsky’s nineteenth-century esoteric Secret Doctrine, American 20th century science fiction writers, creators of famous pulp fiction short stories and novellas (Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein), but especially so with the celebrated dark fiction of H.P. Lovecraft written during the 1920s and ‘30s.
Giving context to all Ancient Alien Theory, Woodward supplies a compelling account of personages and their theories on Mars which reveals the secrets behind the alien story: the enigmatic Percival Lowell; French astronomer/spiritualist Camille Flammarion; physics genius Nikola Tesla; the German rocket scientist Werner von Braun; romantic scientist/author Carl Sagan; and late astronomer Tom Van Flandern. Whether scientist or author, all saw in Mars as a stepping stone to the stars and the means through which humanity would discern its place in the Cosmos.
“(Woodward) hits every important topic regarding the burgeoning UFO phenomena in what may become a researcher’s go-to guide for UFOs, ET, and whether intelligent life ever existed (or exists today!) on Mars.“ – L. A. Marzulli (from the Foreword)
S. Douglas Woodward has written seven books on alternate history, biblical eschatology, religion, and philosophy. A former corporate executive, today Woodward is a featured speaker at conferences and frequent guest on television and radio programs. Woodward lives with his wife Donna in Oklahoma City. |

Foquos: Global, Real-Time Earthquake Data
Every earthquake is unique. In the immediate aftermath of an earthquake, chaos can often be the defining force. From seconds to hours to days after the quake, demand for reliable and relevant information vastly outweighs its supply, and thus confusion takes over. Real-time information exists but there’s no clear way to make sense of it. There’s too much information to sort through, or the information is too hard to find — or a combination of both.
The hypocenter of an earthquake, also known as the focus, is the origin of an earthquake from which seismic waves radiate — the true center of the quake. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/8405 | The Dragon and The Serpent
A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far Far Away
There was a Great Platinum Dragon, and the Serpent without Wings.
Together, they witnessed the death of their world, and on the ashes of their old one, they sailed the cosmos together looking for a new one.
Melania passed, and over time, their doubt began to weigh them down when they could find no world to make their home. Then, in a that darkness, there was a whisper
And if I become a Demon, So Be it. Anything for Her.
And in that moment the Platinum Dragon followed the voice and veered off course to see, in that primordial chaos, that there was a great void like unto a beast. So empty, and so dark, did the Dragon begin to fear what he had heard in his heart.
But then he looked to his shoulder to the Serpent wrapped so tightly, and he looked into it’s eyes and in that reflection, he saw the doubt and fear within himself. He said, "We have been shown a door. I will believe in you, if you believe in me.”
The Serpent shook and twisted, so afraid was it that the Dragon feared that it would lose it’s breath…and then it all came back at once. There I no air in space. Only the Fear of choking on it’s tongue.
The voice had died down within him then, and soon, the Dragon looked away from his doubt to see the door was beginning to close. It soared through the cosmos as fast as it could; but we must remember the law of causality.
In that moment of Doubt, the hole had closed enough that when the Dragon soared into the void, it ripped apart it’s wingss.
And together, the Dragon and the Serpent Fell.
The End. |

so that i can view my near death encounters, I would like to invest in a camera to record my commute, alas I know nothing, so would anyone be kind enough to suggest a good camera, best way to mount on the bike, and how do you actually download/view the film

Best bloke I know to ask would probably be 'Magnatom' over on cyclechat. You can see his vids on youtube (same username, just search for magnatom)

Just try and activate the video function on your camera-phone while cycling along - I GUARANTEE you'll have interesting footage to shoot when you start looking at the road again!

I have enough trouble remembering to pack my bag properly, never mind recording my commute! :lol:
Good luck though and looking forward to more footage.

• There are a couple of ways of doiing this.
If you have a vid camera, some are ridiculously small, find some way a attaching it to the handlebars, pretty straight forward then, downloadvid to computer, edit and upload to web.
The other more complex way is to use a helmet camera.
something like this:
Your vid cam will need an AV input for it to work, this basically takes the vid from the pencil camera that you either mount on your helmet (don't go there) or on the bike. You can also use an iPod to record the vid with the right adaptor.
Or you could just strap your camera phone to the handlebars.
If you see the candle as flame, the meal is already cooked.

• If you mount your phone to your handlebars, I would suggest attaching a wriststrap to the phone and looping that over your handlebars before mounting. This means that if it comes free of your bars over a hump, you won't have lost your phone :wink:
The other ( but more expensive ) way of getting bike cam footage is to get an Oregon Scientific ATC2000 (Also known as the ATC2K). It's pretty cheap as these things go - you can get them from about £80 online, or a bit less than that on eBay. You will also need an SD card to record the video.
The nice thing about the ATC2K is that it's rugged, is well designed for this kind of thing, and has mountings for both handlebars and helmets.
I have a secondhand one that I won in a raffle over at CycleChat :D , and it's a nice bit of kit. Spending more will get you better image quality, and maybe a screen you can preview your clips on, but for lowish-cost it-just-works, the ATC2K is great.
• That is just so cool.
Damn you PrettyBoyTim, now I want one!
Photography, Google Earth, Route 30
• Oh, I recently put up a bit of footage I took with it:
Commute in to work
Footage from the child trailer as I took my son to nursery
It takes footage at up to 640x480 @ 30fps, but both those examples have been shrunk, deshaken and sped up.
• Well if anyone is interested I have one of these
And it's for SALE if anyone is interested?
It's the full kit, you just need a vid cam with AV input, and 8 * AA batteries.

5. "Bien sûr, il y avait des mou…
"Bien sûr, il y avait des mouvements dangereux à éviter."
Translation:Of course, there were dangerous movements to avoid.
October 1, 2017
What a weird sentence!!
"Certainly" seemed an appropriate interpretation.
Yeah, I tried putting down different things for that, but it would only let me do "Surely".
Certainly and Surely are exact synonyms. I'm not sure, but I believe DL requires the moderators to tabulate every possible response (with just a little automation in the contractions), or it won't be accepted. So the only explanation is that they just haven't gotten around to it yet (or it hasn't been reported).
Yeah, you really need to report it if you think it's worthwhile. No editors read this forum, it's just for us users, who can't do anything about it. But they do read the reports from the lessons, so be sure to flag it.
What would the context of such a sentence be? Is this about dangerous political movements or is it about teaching workplace ergonomics or gymnastic movements? - or all of the above?
Just letting you know that 'surely' is not used in this context in UK English. It doesn't mean 'certainly'. Ironically enough, it tends to be used when someone is unsure of a situation: e.g. "Surely she knew you didn't take sugar?" - i.e. the speaker is pretending that this is the case for the sake of gossip. Otherwise it turns up in stock phrases such as 'slowly but surely'. Thanks
I put There were SOME dangerous movements to avoid. Why is this marked wrong?
I think the given statement is stronger than that. If it wanted to say "some dangerous movements" it would probably have been worded "quelques mouvements dangereux". But, as the plural of un mouvement is des mouvements, hence the absence of the word "some". I hope that makes sense.
It wasn't marked wrong for me.
of course there were dangerous moves to avoid was not accepted
Quand j'étais jeune, il y avait toujours du danger quand je travaillais dans les égouts.
Why is it important if it's "Surely" rather than "Sure thing"?
Of course, there have been dangerous movements to avoid was not accepted. Surely 'there have been' and 'there were', mean the same thing?
Why not 'There were dangerous actions to avoid'?
'Surely' is not the same thing as 'Of course'.
My attempt to translate this was "Sure, there have been dangerous movements to avoid". It marked both "Sure" and "there have been" wrong.
Here's what I think. If "avait" is the imparfait, "were," that means that the action has continued to the current time. My translation would have been correct if it were "il y a eu des mouvements...". That would mean, "there have been dangerous movements but are no longer." That's because passé composé indicates the action is completed. Is that correct?
As far as I can tell, the two accepted answers for "Bien sûr" here are "Surely" and "Of course," and not "Sure" or "Fine."
"Of course" would be someone confirming that yes, there were dangerous movements. "Of course" means the same as those two rejected options to me.
Meanwhile, "Surely" implies this is one person insisting that another person confirm that there were indeed dangerous movements. It is nearly a question when "Surely" is used.
My thoughts exactly, you ask "surely it is...". You state the fact by saying "sure" or "of course".
I had a very productive visit to the vet. Of course there were dangerous movements to avoid.

Thread: Barge-In through Attendant

Post Barge-In through Attendant
Does anyone knows if it is possible to use Barge-In, but calling from PSTN with traditional or SIP trunks, where codes *91 to *93 could be apply from the external call to the desire extension?
I know that by using a remote extension is something that can be done internally within PBX type calls.
Still be good to have the flexibility to use it from an external call, applying of course the needed security to avoid attacks or misuse.
I've tried by routing calls from Attendant to Call Routing table but digits beginning with * from the attendant are not recognized as a feature code or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I also tried to use plain number digits converted to *91 within the Routing Table, still no success.
Attendant still thinks I'm dialing extension numbers replying with "Number does not exist", like it doesn't even sent dialed digits to the Routing Table.

Security will prevent you from externally performing the feature that you describe, and for a good reason.

This is so good. Love how he experiments with his voice. Much better than his last album.
6. That Sunday Brunch baldie always gets a woof from me.
7. I love his lower register, but actually even his falsetto is nice. His voice is very versatile and I appreciate how involved he is in the making of his music. The new album is great, but it's a pity we've heard half of it before the actual release. Didn't he mention in his newsletter he might release a "part 2" kind of thing in the future?
Future Lover and andru like this.
8. Oh man, I’m glad I didn’t overlook this cause it’s amazing. “Paper Moons” jumped out at me in the context of the album. His vocals in the chorus just break my heart and he just nails the heartbreak of that all too familiar situation.
9. Paper Moons is the best song here, followed by Enough & Melt.
10. 'in the afternoon' is high key the most saccharine and potentially toothless track I've stanned in a minute but I miss my boyfriend and the weather is gorgeous and I can't stop playing it.

11. How is everyone finding this album? I quite enjoy it as a body of work, but am struggling to pick a stand out favorite. Currently 'no vacancies' is stuck in my head so I suppose that's the one for now.
12. I really like “call on me” but haven’t given the album a proper spin yet. Too distracted with Jessie Ware.

13. While I always enjoy the individual songs when I hear them on my shuffled 2020 playlist I do think it works best as a collective whole. I think it is a great album.

14. I got so obsessed with "Paper Moons" that I didn't give the full album any time. Should probably try to fix that...
15. Paper Moons really is a highlight. Great song.
16. Paper Moons is amazing, but actually Alone crept up on me a lot.
Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth before it ends
Such an amazing lyric, always pops into my head whenever someone tells me I'm getting older.

17. I haven’t come back to this album as often as I thought I would have. Maybe because we’ve heard half of it before the release?
Here’s hoping for Modern Anxiety part 2, like Josef mentioned before.

18. Alright, I'll take it. I just snatched a physical copy of modern anxiety so I've been listening to it again and I really like it as a whole, still doesn't touch Night Swim though.

1. How is that not like them? Are you new here?
2. Having a vendor that converts motes into lower tiers would be great.
3. I'd rather just buy the skins than gamble. I'm not a gambler. I spend money on guaranteed goods and services.
4. Is it not possible to move them back to a campaign item?
5. You should be doing Onslaught to climb and upgrading a relic every reset to carry.
6. So my first thought was to remove Earth Toss to avoid Diminishing Returns building up too much but i feel like i'm missing a ton of area damage by doing so. The only downside before was that your Sky Guards might rarely let air units through because they're busy but this was only a minor concern. Now with DR, i wonder whether i should keep using Earth Toss or not.
7. Level 1-7 are all the same. Trendy don't seem to care how stupid that is.
8. That's because i shouldn't have to spell out what happens when you lose nothing. Consider what happens if your maxed gear with all the tinkered mods are still there on a reset? You beat Chaos 7. You beat floor 28, 29, 30. Reset. You beat Chaos 7. You beat floor 28, 29, 30, 31. Reset. Repeat. Give it a day and you'll get 10 AP easily lol. The only thing i wish for is that moving a MOD to another item, would change it's chaos level to that of the item. This way we can pay DMs to transfer them up to our current level, without having to farm motes and gold to level those items back up. It's kind of ridiculous that you need to re-level MODs as well as gear.
9. Should i quote my original post? You're under the impression that there should be no cost. Why would i bother trying to convince you otherwise. You can't comprehend the problem with making AP have no cost.
10. I'm also liking Proton Beams with Water Servo, though you could probably still use WM with water/storm servo, or mix PDTs in there with water/storm servo. Those seem like the most obvious choices for me. Now that i think about it, would it be better to use WMs to drench only, allowing other storm sources to be spread out and enabling the DR to wear off.
11. So i just encountered this boss right after a reset on floor 22. Great so the only counter is Oil+Fire. Like we just have that sitting around. You find yourself surprised by this enemy and it's an instant lose. Flaming Knight didn't do a single thing. I'm already using AL with this shard the first time i encountered him but none of my abilities do anything, and if i walk inside his bubble, i get perma frozen... Thankfully this is countered by just restarting the wave and having him not spawn at all. Floor 22...
12. The thing that really sticks out for me, is that players who already bought and own bag space are complaining about inventory problems. That's a sign of a big problem.
13. Why should AP have a cost? There is no cost to improve your character via gear, shards, or ascension; all of which make a much bigger difference. There is nothing saying AP should have a negative attached to it. Or put another way: time. The price of AP will be exactly like the price of the majority of ways your improve your character in the majority of games, it takes time playing the game to do it. Well here's an idea, what if any C8 items were immune to resets, not just maxed C8?
14. What would be the price of AP if gear doesn't reset... lol
15. Now that elemental combos are live and being worked on, just remove shocking revelation. The fact that you can have shocking rev and water servo on the WM means it's still the go to tower of choice for everything.

Cult StatusMillenials at work
I recently read a review of a book called Cult Status: how to build a business that that people adore. Its author is Tim Duggan, a journalist and co-founder of a digital company called Junkee Media. It is about modern millennial entrepreneurs and what drives and motivates them. The point is that these types of business personalities are not simply motivated by turning a profit. They want to make a difference. Such individuals and companies did exist in the past. But now the new breed of entrepreneur ‘bakes’ these ideals into their companies from the outset rather than grafting them in afterwards. For boomer companies it may have been a nice thing to do. For these millennials making a difference becomes an imperative. Such young entrepreneurs gather around them a community of people who are similarly motivated.
Such people are passionate. They are committed to a cause and there is an energy and a youthful vitality that drives them. Another descriptor is Impact. How is what they are doing going to change the world and make it a better place? The reason for this emphasis is that the millennials have grown up in a very different world to people a generation or two generations ago. Culture has shifted, seemingly overnight. Ideas and viewpoints that were incomprehensible only five or ten years ago are not merely mainstream, but are now reinforced , disseminated and even enforced on social media. Such values not only shape the entrepreneurs but also the generation in which they are embedded.
I believe that this emphasis has great implications not merely for youth ministry, but also for appealing to young people to be generous and building a culture of generosity in that cohort. In a church however, these ideas should play out with a distinctly Christian focus. When I was growing up in my Methodist home church over 50 years ago, I didn’t hear too much about the gospel of Jesus. The evangelistic fervour of John Wesley and George Whitfield had largely abated. I did, however, develop a very strong impression that being a Christian involved believing in God and avoiding promiscuity and alcohol and living a moral life. There was a distinct holiness flavour about this environment for which I am very grateful as I know it stopped me progressing down stupid and sinful pathways.
But I wasn’t challenged to make an impact or to be part of a dynamic movement to change the world. And it was only later, in my early twenties that someone challenged me to follow Christ.
This book, Cult Status, says to me that if you want to speak meaningfully to millennials, give them a massive and dynamic challenge. Challenge them to give their lives totally to Christ. Challenge them to a life of holy living, a life worthy of the gospel. And challenge them with a vision to help change the world by preaching and the spreading of the gospel which transforms lives binds up the broken hearted and sets the captive free, in their own homes, in their local town and in the world beyond. Show them how the gospel of Christ crucified and raised makes an impact personally and in society.
Wonderfully, the cause of the gospel has earthly significance. People’s lives can be transformed immeasurably here and now. But the gospel also has an eternal signifance as people are looking and longing for a heavenly inheritance. A gospel cause also ensures this millennial passion gets channelled in the right direction. Some of today’s causes are noble and worthwhile but I suspect others will be shown to be shallow and misguided with the passing of time. The plumb line of the gospel will allow us to discern the gold from the dross.
Finally, as the book suggests, many young millennials are setting up businesses, to make a profit and make an impact. Ministers need to challenge such young business identities to be generous and direct at least some of their resources to a cause that is truly out of this world. And as I reflect on these words, the former Methodist in me kicks in because it all seems very similar to the way Wesley and Whitefield inspired people two hundred and fifty years ago. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/8498 | Power supply issues finally solved
A project log for Unconventional Instrument Ochestra
laurens.weynlaurens.weyn 09/17/2015 at 16:140 Comments
Here's a summary of my power supply problems:
Finally, I got an old PSU from a friend. This time, using load resistors to keep the power supply alive. This works. I can finally run my floppy drives. Hurray!
Those load resistors get pretty hot though. They're rated 10W and each has about 7.5W going through them, but even when zip-tied to the fan they get up to 95 degrees celsius, or 203 fahrenheit!
Admittedly, that's not the ideal heat sinking method, but it's better than nothing.
Progress wasn't completely stopped while I lacked power, though. I've completely overhauled major parts of the control software. It can now work with any number of floppies, any number of floppy/percussion controllers, and any number of 3D printers and/or CNC routers (and other devices that accept G-code though the standard Serial protocol). I only own one CNC type device though, so I can't test this yet. The whole note mapping system's been redone as well, but I'll discuss this in detail in another project log once I know it's all working properly. |

Advanced options to define and style elements
Updated at October 14th, 2020
The Element properties dialog has options to label an element and define how it calculates data.
By default, Protobi assumes each element corresponds to a data column with the same name as the element's key attribute, and uses that value directly. But it's possible to override this in many ways.
Access the Advanced properties dialog by pressing on the element icon and choosing "More properties":
Attribute Value Description
String Unique identifier for this element
String Label to use in place of key for display
headline String Text describing key point of the element
String Text for longer descriptive title
String Text for footnote
Choice string|number|date|empty
String Name of data column to use as a data source for this element (defaults to key). If specified, the value is read directly from that data column.
Name of an element to use as a data source for this element. If specified, data is interpolated from that element, after applying its coding, transforms, etc.
String List of child elements, separated by commas.
Choice Method
String Unique identifier of crosstab banner column(s)
String Delimiter to split values for this element. For example "," will split a comma-delimited string into a multiple-response array.
The special value "json" will parse the value as a JSON string.
String or number Numeric value or name of data column by which to divide the value of this element. E.g. 100 will convert fractions between [0,1] to percents [0,100]
String or number Numeric value or name of data column by which to divide the value of this element. This can be used to calculate on element as a ratio of another.
String or number
Numeric value or name of data column by which to weight the frequency of this element.
Number Reference value by which to scale bars for this element. Useful when compacting to means, so that bars can be drawn for means relative to a some value.
Whether to show or hide missing values. Yes means always, No means never, and (default) means use current setting from [NA] button in toolbar
String Display format for this element's values using d3 format notation. E.g. "0%" will display fractions like 0.24 as percentages e.g. "24%"
More options
In the bottom right corner of the Element properties dialog, you can choose to edit "More options". You can also use the keyboard shortcut: SHIFT + E + P. "More options" is also available from the Chart type dialog.
Theindicates that the option is selected. Press to deselect the option.
The indicates that the option is not selected. One press will reset the option to the default state. Two presses will select the option.
The options readily available to edit are dependent on the chart type and options you've selected in the dialog. Add attributes by entering a "key" and "value" pair.
Press the "+" sign next to each sub-category to expand and edit those additional options.
You can reset all advanced chart options at once by pressing the "Reset..." button on the bottom right. There is also a button that lets you return to the "Chart type" dialog.

Your wife shall take Mahayograj Guggul capsules. Try these capsules for a month. one capsule everyday. SHe should massage the affected knee with warm castor oil. I do not think you should go for any surgery. This can be taken care of. Ginger tea, one cup every day will help to reduce the inflammation, then she might reduce the dosage of Ibuprofen.

How old is too old?
When do you replace a computer? What are the obvious signs to look out for? There is no simple answer, unfortunately. Apologies for your immediate disappointment. A lot of it comes down to how frequently you use your machine, what type of machine it is, and whether it's actually misbehaving presently.
If it is misbehaving, you need to figure out why, or get someone else to do that for you. Because if it's a dying hard drive (~70% of cases) or failing memory/power supply (~3% of cases) that's easy and cheap to replace. No problems there, and if you replace the hard drive with a solid state drive (they're cheap now) it'll be a lot faster too. You can also get problems with minor peripherals and addon cards such as network adaptors, keyboards, etc. Those are generally easy to fix or replace. If it's a software issue, you might as well sort that out, as replacing hardware won't necessarily fix the problem. Sometimes CPU overheating can be an issue, and that's usually easily fixed. The only things which aren't really worth fixing are problems with the motherboard (reasonably common in older computers) or problems with non-standard power supplies.
Once a computer gets to around 8-10 years of age, you can start to get issues with vague instability and flakiness, due to components such as capacitors aging on the motherboard or power supply. You can also get micro-fractures in circuit substrates over time which occur naturally due to the heat-expansion/compression cycle of metal. But I have seen 20-year-old computers running fine (running Windows 10!) and 1-year-old computers fail, so much of this comes down to luck and how often the computer has been used. Hard drives are similar - while failures can occur in the first year, I have had drives which lasted 10 years with reasonable amounts of use before failing. And solid state drives (the newer breeds) tend to last longer generally-speaking.
So should you replace your computer every 10 years as a precaution? Well, bear in mind that replacing a computer + transferring all your data and programs onto the new one can be non-linear process, depending on what programs you were running, whether you were using a different operating system on the old computer, and whether the old programs will in fact run on the new computer. This is as relevant for Mac computers as it is for PC's - older, 32-bit versions of applications on Mac won't run on the newer operating systems. You may need to substitute different programs and learn how to use those, or just stop using certain programs entirely. So while it might seem straightforward and 'the right thing to do' to simply replace old computers, that's not always the case.
My general rule of thumb: if it isn't broke, don't fix it. If it is, fix it. If it's too expensive to fix when balanced against the age of the machine, or can't be fixed, replace it. If it's simply running too slow and it has a non-SSD hard drive, put in an SSD drive and optimize the software side of things. And if it's not any of those things, that'll need to be covered in a future article.

I am glad I am not the only person with way too much shit on my desktop.

I’m actually the opposite. I have literally no buttons on my desktop. Everything’s pinned to the taskbar or on the first page of my start menu. I always assumed more people had a lot of shit on their desktop and I was just anal.

Dang! I was hoping Dennis Cooper would be there. People whose desktop I’d like to see: Dennis Cooper, Roberto Bolano, DFW, Cesar Aira, Wittgenstein, Kant, Theogenes, etc. I’d like to see Michele Houllebecq’s search history, if you catch my drift.
32. bartleby_taco
Also: just finished “Ugly Man” and at the back Dennis Cooper lists a bunch of his favorite shit, including his top 50 Bob Pollard songs as well as songs in general. Find myself often thinking about what kind of music people who write listen to. It was pretty cool to find out that DC likes GBV and Sebadoh and Spacemen 3 and SY etc etc.

Am suggesting that HTMLGiant should post authors’ top 5/10 fav albums/songs to make myself clear btw. Interesting tidbit: I actually remember M Kitchell from a livejournal music rating community from years ago before I started frequenting this website regularly.

"Three Times Scully Was Bound" (birthday ficlet for azephirin!)
the arch of the eyebrows gives it away
Happy birthday to the adorable azephirin! You asked for Mulder/Scully and threw out the prompt word "binding." So here's a double-drabble, a drabble-and-a-half, and a drabble from three moments in Scully's life (during 1x02, during the first movie, and just after the second movie). My thanks to dotfic, who assured me I hadn't done anything egregious to canon or the characters, despite not having a chance to rewatch some eps before your big day. I hope you enjoy!
Three Times Scully Was Bound
She'd been expecting there to be a battle royale pitched by her new partner, some crazy way of asserting that his theories - lacking one shred of proof - were still better than the science that bolstered her, had stayed steady for generations, promising something larger than themselves. She'd been prepared for that, since that meeting at Headquarters.
It turns out it's no good preparing for an assault when the person on the other side refuses to wage war. Instead, he's leaving the logic to her, trusting her to follow wherever it leads, whether he’s next to her or not, whether she believes in the answers at the end of the road or not.
Chains of steel or bonds of silk, the result is the same. Somehow he’s got her wrapped up tight, matching him stride for stride.
And maybe even going beyond. Because he has no idea how to hide his vulnerability, because he could let himself be taken to find something that he believes could be the truth. To safeguard him, that questioning brain, that restless spirit, she’s stood against the government she pledged her loyalty to, that her father served his whole life.
Mulder has to be worth it.
Cold. The cold was biting through her, eating away at every cell of her skin, tearing down what was once soft and healthy. The cold destroying her from the outside in was racing to meet the cold coursing through her, ravaging her from the inside out.
The tube pulsing with alien life was an icicle lodged in her throat. She could feel herself shutting down, bound in this ice-tomb, far from Mulder, from all the things he was not but could bring her back to - safety, civilization.
They might have her body, but her mind was still her own. They might have taken her to derail Mulder’s quest, to cut him off at the knees, but they apparently hadn’t realized she was more than bait; she was dangerous in her own right.
And then Mulder appeared before her, wind-burned and alive with hope, and she took her friend’s helping hand.
The water looked like bright glass - fancy, handblown glass from Venice - but it retained that familiar rhythm she’d known since her days as the littlest of the Scully brats, that lulling cosmic heartbeat.
The sun was blazing directly overhead. Mulder was humming something, winding melody contrasting with the regular rhythm of his breaths as he pulled the oars.
It was nearly perfect. They had earned all the happiness they could find.
She untied the strings of her bikini top and let the material flutter into Mulder’s face. Settling back to wait, she thought how much better unbound was than bound.
As always, I'd love to hear what you think.

Eeeee! This is a great birthday present. I love the glimpses of them over the years, how they've grown into each other, if that makes sense. Thank you so much!
Yes, that absolutely makes sense, and it's part of what I was going for here, so yay! And I'm very pleased you enjoyed it!
I like how you say a lot in such few words. These are very nice moments. I especially like Mulder not waging war, and Scully being dangerous in her own right. Right on.
Thank you so much! I have to admit I first started watching the show because Mulder is so damn cute, but I stayed because Scully rocks.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/8605 | Seen: Beer-Lahai-Roi
I have been slowly re-reading through the New Testament, and today it struck me that I kept reading the phrase “Jesus looked at [him/her].” I searched it online, and indeed, it’s found in all four gospels. We read of Jesus looking at his disciples with lessons, at Zacchaeus with an unexpected greeting, at Peter with a christening of a new name, at a rich young man, the story recorded as “Jesus, looking at him, loved him.”
I can only speak for myself, but: I want to be seen.
It made me think of another story, this from the Old Testament. Hagar, an Egyptian servant, is used and abused and, pregnant, she flees. But an angel of the Lord finds her near a spring in the wilderness, where she is told the Lord has listened to her affliction.
seenSo she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.
Beer-lahai-roi means “the well of the Living One who sees me.”
I want to be seen. And I am.

Whooopppeee. I am at a real computer in a bike shop in Pittsburgh. Jake, Brain, Soupie and CHUCK have welcomed me into their Forbes Ave. bike haven.
Old Cunninghamroadbike is in need of a good tapping job…I’d cross-threaded the rear mech when reassembling it out of the box (I know I should have let a mechanic do it, but I thought: come on, how hard is it to screw in a derailleur?).
So, from NYC to Pittxbg my chain crunkled and groused, and I prayd a lot. As you might know, I’m on the Northern team of the 42 Ride, accompanied by 20 others… tomorrow will be my first day on a healthy bike, thanks to: Soupie the great, Brain, Jake, Alan, Chuck, Anya, Johnny, Jeff, Todd and Major Tom the little “Boxton” terrier. Uh, is that enough people in one shop? Maybe not.
Maybe the other eight will be bummed I failed to meet them, BUT there is the big party at Peter’s Pub from 6-8 tonight.
Wish me luck on the next fifty stages of this ride…
luv, me.
Pittsburgh is the city of bikerly love… heh.
