Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Tue, 2009-01-27 17:05. :: Ubuntu | FTP
Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
Version 1.0
This document describes how to install a PureFTPd server that uses virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single machine. In addition to that I will show the use of quota and upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.
For the administration of the MySQL database you can use web based tools like phpMyAdmin which will also be installed in this howto. phpMyAdmin is a comfortable graphical interface which means you do not have to mess around with the command line.
This tutorial is based on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex). You should already have set up a basic Ubuntu 8.10 server system, as described in the first ten chapters of this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10
This howto is meant as a practical guide; it does not cover the theoretical backgrounds. They are treated in a lot of other documents in the web.
This document comes without warranty of any kind! I want to say that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
In this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
Make sure that you are logged in as root (type in
sudo su
to become root), because we must run all the steps from this tutorial as root user. Also, if you want to use vi as your text editor (as suggested by this tutorial), you should run
apt-get install vim-nox
The vim-nox package makes sure that the vi text editor behaves as expected (without vim-nox, you might experience some strange behaviour in the vi text editor).
2 Install MySQL And phpMyAdmin
This can all be installed with one single command:
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client phpmyadmin apache2
You will be asked these questions:
New password for the MySQL "root" user: <-- yourrootsqlpassword
3 Install PureFTPd With MySQL Support
For Ubuntu 8.10 there is a pre-configured pure-ftpd-mysql package available. Install it like this:
apt-get install pure-ftpd-mysql
Then we create an ftp group (ftpgroup) and user (ftpuser) that all our virtual users will be mapped to. Replace the group- and userid 2001 with a number that is free on your system:
groupadd -g 2001 ftpgroup
4 Create The MySQL Database For PureFTPd
Now we create a database called pureftpd and a MySQL user named pureftpd which the PureFTPd daemon will use later on to connect to the pureftpd database:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE pureftpd;
Replace the string ftpdpass with whatever password you want to use for the MySQL user pureftpd. Still on the MySQL shell, we create the database table we need (yes, there is only one table!):
USE pureftpd;
CREATE TABLE ftpd (
As you may have noticed, with the quit; command we have left the MySQL shell and are back on the Linux shell.
BTW, (I'm assuming that the hostname of your ftp server system is server1.example.com) you can access phpMyAdmin under http://server1.example.com/phpmyadmin/ (you can also use the IP address instead of server1.example.com) in a browser and log in as the user pureftpd. Then you can have a look at the database. Later on you can use phpMyAdmin to administrate your PureFTPd server.
5 Configure PureFTPd
Edit /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf. It should look like this:
cp /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf_orig
Make sure that you replace the string ftpdpass with the real password for the MySQL user pureftpd in the line MYSQLPassword! Please note that we use md5 as MYSQLCrypt method, which means we will store the users' passwords as an MD5 string in the database which is far more secure than using plain text passwords!
Then create the file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ChrootEveryone which simply contains the string yes:
echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ChrootEveryone
This will make PureFTPd chroot every virtual user in his home directory so he will not be able to browse directories and files outside his home directory.
Also create the file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/CreateHomeDir which again simply contains the string yes:
echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/CreateHomeDir
This will make PureFTPd create a user's home directory when the user logs in and the home directory does not exist yet.
Afterwards, we restart PureFTPd:
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart

Trini Trent@TheLavaLizard who told Trey Songz that he is "moving R&B forward"? No, sir. You are the person holding it back. Bitches & the drinks.

I've watched since 2005, during the I Gotta Make era. I've seen him performing in the most horrible places. I've seen him having Ne-Yo and Chris Brown opening up for him one year; then, he was opening up for Ne-Yo and Chris Brown another year. People finally recognizes him when Ready was released. People enjoyed him in that era, but thought it was just luck. I like Trey. He's talented, has a nice personality, he was a great work ethnic, he has patience, and he has preservance. I believe he was potential and he can get better. I've noticed that Trey has given people good quality music, but no one paid any attention. It wasn't until he made radio friendly hits that people noticed him. It seems he had to "water-down" his music to get people to listen and buy it.
My question is why do people give Trey such a hard time? What is it that they do not like about him? Why would they make comments like the one above about him? Music critics praise Trey for his vocal ability, but bash him for his songwriting. What do you think Trey should improve on? Vocals? Songwriting? Stage Presence? Singing Live?

Yep! I have two on my desk at home, so the den is a little bit Stinkor-iffic. I also noticed after leaving them in the garage for a long hot day after taking pics, the smell intensified with the heat. They stunk up my whole garage.
I personally own two Stinkor figures, and till this day I can still catch the faint stench of evil drifting from my 'book' shelf. It cracks me up! How many of you experience the same thing? Has anyone gone so far as to separate their Stinkor figure form the rest of their collection, or put it in a bag? Is anyone allergic to the smell?

Yep! I have two on my desk at home, so the den is a little bit Stinkor-iffic. I also noticed after leaving them in the garage for a long hot day after taking pics, the smell intensified with the heat. They stunk up my whole garage.
Latest MOTU Features:
* Dekker * Double Trouble * Intergalactic Skeletor * Flutterina * Madame Razz * Entrapta * Customized Rio Blast
Mine is still sealed on his card, literally sealed inside of a Zoloworld case (bottom and sides), and if I squeeze the case, I can smell him big time, because I left the very top of the case unsealed, and I can catch a faint whiff from him still even almost sealed inside the ZW case every once in a while....
But being encased is much different than being out of package, but before I sealed him in the case, he was giving me a headache, and before I sealed him in, he was really strong and coming through even that ZW case he was in.
If I was a loose collector, there's no way I'd be able to open him, mine was that bad, I can even still smell it in his mailer, that I have with the rest, broken down in an under the bed storage tote.

I've just changed my profile picture because we got Geldor in MOTUC!
Mine still stinks and I'm glad he does. I used to have him on the book case by my door and could smell him everytime I left the house. Moved him to the new shelf and can smell him faintly in the chair.
My Trader Feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...mighty-He-Dad!
Nope I'm one of the few that has an allergy- no MOTUC Stinkor for J00 Vertigo!
I started putting any stinkors i bought, or parts in a sealed bag to try and concentrate the smell as I love it but its never strong anymore. I dont him vintage MOC and havent got him in classics yet.Does the classics smell like the vintage?
They must have had serious variations in the mixtures between machines or batches, because some have said like mine he was really strong, and others have said they smell almost nothing....it sucks that there is such variation in the run, but like I said not just one machine is running, and the mixture from machine to machine was probably not calibrated right.

Mine still smells, in fact the name card from the packaging still retains a whiff too, as I found out earlier this morning. I keep all cardbacks and inserts in a box.

All 3 of mine (1 MOC, 2 Loose) still stink, but only if you put them right up to your nose. Now when I first opened them they took me aback.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ― Apple Inc.
Yes he and Moss Man still smell strongly.

Essential to modern life, used daily by almost everyone in the developed world, this technological wonder has an amazing history and an even more incredible future.
- The founder of Ericcson, the mobile phone giant, invented the modern, one-piece telephone handset in 1885.
- A competing application for a patent on the telephone was submitted by Elisha Gray on the same day as Alexander Graham Bell's.
- The official name for the pound symbol is "octothorpe."
This DVD offers a fresh look at a device that's been right under your nose, or pressed to your ear, for your entire life. The telephone, and the network it links to, is a modern convenience of immeasurable ubiquity and, to all but a very few experts, incomprehensible complexity.
Everyone has one, no-one knows how it works. Early phones, with big speakers, microphones, magnets and bells, were easy to understand, but modern phones - and the unimaginably intricate system that connects them - are mystifying to the point of magical.
In this absorbing DVD, then, trace the history and technology of the telephone, from Alexander Graham Bell's crude creation to today's high-speed wireless networks. Visit the AT&T archives to trace the development of telephone tech and visit labs where the future of communication - the very stuff of science fiction - is taking shape today.
You won't want to be distracted from this compelling look at our amazing everyday technology. Better take the phone off the hook.

Lymphedema is a condition in which excess fluid accumulates in a part of the body, typically in an arm or leg. Lymphedema in the legs is a potential side effect of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for gynecologic cancer. It can affect people in different ways, and may impair quality of life by causing discomfort.
In this study, researchers are examining the incidence of and risk factors for lymphedema of the legs in patients who will be undergoing surgery for cervical, vulvar, or uterine cancer, and assessing the impact of this condition on patients' quality of life. Participants will have physical exams and complete questionnaires before and after surgery.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

For over a year, he held a city hostage to fear. When he was finally caught, the nation was shocked to discover that the "face of terror" was a cherubic postal worker who smiled sweetly for the camera.
David Berkowitz claimed the lives of six people in a killing spree that resulted in the largest manhunt in the history of New York. Once apprehended, he confessed to all the crimes and asked the judge to put him away forever so he would not kill again. In this comprehensive portrait, reporters and detectives who worked on the case, the parents of victims, a prosecutor and a former FBI profiler relive the case that galvanized a nation. Psychologists explore the many frustrations and disappointments that led Berkowitz to kill, and in a gripping interview, Berkowitz himself talks about his crimes and jailhouse transformation into the "Son of Hope." Today, he ministers to other prisoners and born-again Christians all over the world in hopes of restoring some meaning to his shattered life.
From the dark streets of a shaken city to the jailhouse reformation, BIOGRAPHY® examines the "Son of Sam."

I have, they have been around for along time. Haven't seen one with that texture though. very odd.
I haven't lived the life I wanted, just the lives I needed too at the time.
I just bought myself an 8" Old Hickory Chefs knife for 15 bucks, since I'm not based in the states it'll probably take over 3 weeks to get here. When it gets here I'll snap a few shots and put them on here, then start on bringing it back. Ill leave the handle on because it seems to be in great condition.
I have a couple Old Hickory knives...ok, a few...and they are solid performers!

I just wanted to say that if you ever want to clean ODC I have found Break Free (used for gun cleaning) to be absolutely amazing stuff..
I've been cleaning up some old forgies and the break free stuff works magic as far as I can tell
I lost out on an Old Forgecraft 8", bidding closed at 4 AM GMT+1, so I wasnt there to get a better bid in. They outbid me only 1 dollar ;(

About Me Experienced wearer
Comments about Biomedics 38 Contact Lens, 6 lenses per box:
The contact lenses are perfect for extended wear. I use them for 15 days (not always consecutive), but I don't sleep with them in my eyes. One box will last for about 4-5 months, since I wear my glasses 2-3 days per week.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good Bargain
By jdhoneydew
from Oklahoma
These contacts are cheap, easy to put in, stay comfortable for a long period of time, and hold up well. I have not had any trouble with these lenses and they are so much cheaper than the ones I had been wearing. I like to use the Clear Care once or twice a week for extra cleansing power and the Optifree for daily cleansing. Be sure not to put the Clear Care straight in your eye and let it sit for at least 8 hours or you will burn the heck out of your eye like my friend did!

Almost exactly one year ago, I wrote a guide to setting up Google Authorship (and Publisher) markup for hotels. Since then, a few things have changed that I'd like to share with you.
What's Changed
Last year, Google's head of web spam Matt Cutts announced at a convention that Google would decrease the number of Authorship results shown in the SERPS (search engine results pages) by upwards of 15%.
In December, marketers noticed a significant decrease in Authorship appearances—by around 15%.
Matt explained this reduction as an attempt to combat web spam. Previously, Authorship was less restricted. Anyone and everyone who leapt over the technical hurdles and installed authorship had a chance of appearing in the SERPs. Now, Google has decided they only want to show Authorship in the SERPs for established, high-quality authors.
This will make it harder for web spammers to enable authorship on their spammy sites, but it will also make it harder for authors who have not established themselves yet to have authorship appear for their sites.
What is an Author?
Authorship is much more than simply installing it on your website. There is no quick trick to adding your bright and shining face to Google's SERPs. Google has decided to show Authorship only for people they deem bonafide "authors", not just any website owner.
According to Google, an author is any one person who consistently writes high quality, compelling content that gets many readers, and is often shared. To increase your chances of getting your Authorship to appear in a Google SERP, consider the following:
Circle Count
How many "followers" do you have on Google plus? Google will list your follower count (or, in their parlance, how many "circles" you have been added to) directly beneath your Authorship snippet in the SERP. The more circles you have been added to, and the higher quality they are, the more trust Google will have that you are a real person.
Note: Be wary of buying "circles" from spammers. Google does not look at just there sheer number of circles you have been added to, but also at the quality of those circles.
Article Quality
Google looks at the length and quality of the articles you have written in the past. If you consistently write long, high quality articles that get shared on Google+ and other social networks, then Google will trust your content more, and will be more likely to turn on your Authorship snippet in the SERPs. But if you do not write often, and what you write is short or "shallow", then Google will be less likely to activate your Authorship.
Additionally, Google likes to connect Authorship to the by-line of an article (the "about the author" section of an article—see below for an example). Thus, if the content you wish to have Authorship for doesn't end with, "My Great Article, by John Doe" with a link to your Google+ profile, then Google will have a hard time establishing Authorship for you.
Website History
Finally, consider the SEO history of your website. If your website has a high Page Rank, gets a lot of traffic, has a low bounce rate, and has been online for many years, then this is the perfect environment for having your Authorship appear in the SERPs. But if you have a new website, or if it has been penalized by Google in the past for web spam, then Google will be less likely to show your Authorship in the SERP.
Authorship for Hotels
The idea of Authorship is complicated for hotel marketers. After all, what are you trying to promote; your hotel, or yourself?
Some hoteliers contact the CS team here wanting to install authorship on their websites (which they can, and which is easy to do), thinking that Authorship will give them a nice bonus to click-thru rate in the SERPs. However, authorship is unsuitable for a hotel website, since the website is about the hotel—not the hotel owner.
When a person clicks on a link in the SERPs with a face by it, they're expecting to read an article representing the unique thoughts and research of a person, not a property. This is why Authorship is perfect for blogs. Blogs are written from a personal point of view. Content on hotel websites often describes locations, properties, rates, room details, and other detailed information about a potential vacation purchase—not personal ideas and experiences.
Thus, Google is less likely to activate Authorship for hotel websites in the SERPs—even if hotel websites have Authorship installed correctly.
We recommend hoteliers use Authorship for personal blogs, not their hotel websites. Instead, we recommend that hoteliers install Publisher markup on their hotel websites, which is designed for brands, businesses, properties, and publications (not people).
Compatibility with our platform
That said, it is still very easy to connect Authorship to your hotel website if you are our client, and you don't even have to contact us to get it working. Simply log-in to BackOffice, and add a link to your Google+ profile on your homepage, or on any article page you wish, using the following code:

Edwardian Vintage Diamond Buckle Ring
This late Edwardian interpretation of the buckle ring is as august in weight as it is substantial in width. Solidly constructed of 18k yellow gold, the fully hallmarked ring displays a most distinctive look with its three-dimensional hasp and keeper.
A pair of glittering old mine cut diamonds (about 03 points and 10 points) flanks the keeper. Mounted in a setting developed in the late 1800s referred to as gypsy, the gems are placed into a recess until flush with the metal surface. Engraved designs in the shape of rays are cut around the diamonds in a star-like pattern. This fine detail creates the illusion of even greater shine and fire from each of the sparkling bright stones.
Date: 1914.
Measurements: 9/16 of an inch (1.2 cm) in width at buckle. Weight of 6.8 grams (4.4 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7 (UK N-1/2; Int. Dia. 17; Euro 54 mm; Japan 14) and can be easily sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: English hallmarks for 18k, Birmingham, P date letter for 1914; maker's mark "W.L"; mark of "36".
Condition: Very good; evidence to interior of resizing.
Origin: English in origin.
Note: Diamonds have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

Women and Credit Worldwide
6/13/2011 | (0) | Add your Comment
Did you know that women worldwide and throughout history have been continually involved in financial transactions, notably in credit, investment, and capital formation ?
Long before microcredit projects began to foster female loan cooperatives in societies such as India, with the Grameen Bank and SEWA, women were involved in small-scale financial operations.
Some of Clio's male historian colleagues have contributed greatly to illuminating aspects of women's economic involvement in earlier times.
A survey which sheds a great deal of light on the subject is "Women and Credit in Pre-Industrial and Developing Societies" by William Chester Jordan of Princeton University.
According to recent historical findings on women's economic involvement in Europe, there is "something distinctive about women's roles in credit." [p. 1] . . . "both men and women were pawnbrokers and moneylenders." [p. 2]
According to Jordan, the sexual division of labor in earlier times was remarkably less pronounced in this area of finance than in many other arenas of women's labor, such as the manufacture of cloth, baking, or poultry-raising.
This all changed with industrialization and commercialization, and western prescriptions for a strict sexual division of labor.
Clio suggests that you have a look at this study, which addresses not only Europe during the middle ages and early modern period, but also sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean in the colonial and post-colonial period. Eye-opening!

Ela Bhatt, advocate for economic independence for women in India
7/1/2011 | (1) | Add your Comment
Ela Bhatt is a lawyer and social justice advocate who has become the public face of a movement that she founded in 1972 – SEWA, or the self-employed women's association (or "Service"). SEWA has since grown to over 1.2 million members.
Begun in Ahmedabad, in western India (the state of Gujarat), SEWA organizes poor women, helping them to help themselves, by asserting themselves as self-employed women. More generally, it attempts to revise thinking about the poor. If, for instance, a huge percentage of women in India are self-employed, why had they been considered "marginal"? One of SEWA's most significant contributions is to help these women "generate the self-respect needed to resist exploitation." (Bk., p. 34) By all accounts these efforts have succeeded magnificently because they address real needs.
Led by Ms Bhatt, SEWA has established a bank for its members, a maternal protection program, and many other services, based on the members' expressed needs. The organization seeks out talent among its members and helps them to develop it. It confronts authorities, such as policemen who were "selling" protection in the marketplace, and has even helped get laws changed.
On May 27th, 2011, the Radcliffe Institute awarded its Radcliffe Institute Medal to Ela Bhatt. Last year Bhatt was honored at the Global Fairness Initiative Awards. Hillary Clinton, the U.S. secretary of state, "She has spent nearly every day of the past four decades helping move more than a million poor women in India to a position of dignity and independence, gaining access to opportunities they never dreamed possible."
But let's let Ela Bhatt have the last word:
"We not only want a piece of the pie, we also want to choose the flavour, and know how to make it ourselves."
Well said!

Singing "The Song of the Shirt" - 1840s England
4/30/2011 | (0) | Add your Comment
In the land of Jane Eyre and royal weddings, times were tough for poor women.
In 1840s England, before sewing machines had been perfected and come onto the market, many poor urban women, young and old, stitched garments by hand, attempting to earn a living as seamstresses. They were very poorly paid, and the long hours of work they put in to earn enough to eat could ruin their eyes and, more generally, their physical health, not to speak of their mental health.
A certain Thomas Hood (1799-1845) immortalized these seamstresses' plight in a poem, "The Song of the Shirt," that was published in the popular English publication, Punch, in 1843. It was a sensational success and reappeared in America, in French translation – and perhaps in many other translations. In the age of the global sweatshop, and despite the mechanization of sewing, its message remains relevant.
Clio recommends reading the entire poem, below.....
With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread:
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt;
And still, with a voice of dolorous pitch,
She sang the "Song of the Shirt"!
Work! work! work!
And while the cock is crowing aloof!
And work – work – work,
Till the stars shine through the roof!
It's oh! to be a slave
Along with the barbarous Turk,
Where woman has never a soul to save,
If this is Christian work!
Work – work – work!
Till the brain begins to swim;
Work – work – work!
Till the eyes are heavy and dim!
Seam, and gusset, and band,
Band, and gusset, and seam,
Till over the buttons I fall asleep,
And sew them on in my dreams!
Oh men, with sisters dear!
Oh men, with mothers and wives!
It is not linen you're wearing out,
But human creatures' lives!
Stitch – stitch – stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
Sewing at once, with a double thread,
A shroud as well as a shirt!
But why do I talk of death,
That phantom of grisly bone?
I hardly fear his terrible shape,
It seems so like my own,
Because of the fasts I keep:
Oh God! that bread should be so dear
And flesh and blood so cheap!
Work – work – work!
My labor never flags;
And what are its wages? A bed of straw,
A crust of bread, and rags;
A shattered roof, and this naked floor,
A table, a broken chair,
And a wall so blank, my shadow I thank
For sometimes falling there!
Work – work – work!
From weary chime to chime;
Work – work – work,
As prisoners work for crime!
Band, and gusset, and seam,
Seam, and gusset, and band, --
Till the heart is sick, and the brain benumbed,
As well as the weary hand!
Work – work – work,
In the dull December light;
And work – work – work,
When the weather is warm and bright;
While underneath the eaves
The brooding swallows cling,
As if to show me their sunny backs
And twit me with the spring.
Oh! but to breathe the breath
Of the cowslip and primrose sweet,
With the sky above my head,
And the grass beneath my feet;
For only one short hour
To feel as I used to feel,
Before I knew the woes of want,
And the walk that costs a meal!
Oh, but for one short hour!
A respite, however brief! –
No blessed leisure for love or hope,
But only time for grief!
A little weeping would ease my heart,
But in their briny bed
My tears must stop, for every drop
Hinders needle and thread!
With fingers weary and work,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rangs,
Plying her needle and thread:
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt;
And still, with a voice of dolorous pitch –
Would that its tone could reach the rich! –
She sang this "Song of the Shirt"
Louise Bourgeois, midwife extraordinaire
3/8/2011 | (0) | Add your Comment
Today's guest blog on the French midwife Louise Bourgeois is contributed by Clio's longtime colleague, historian Alison Klairmont Lingo, at the University of California, Berkeley.
"Louise Bourgeois (1563-1636), French midwife extraordinaire, was the first woman to publish a medical treatise on childbirth and women's illnesses (1609). In her capacity as royal midwife to queen Marie de Médicis, the second wife of King Henri IV, she also had the honor of delivering the future king Louis XIII, thus ensuring peace and stability in France by facilitating the birth of a healthy male heir for the Bourbon dynasty. Only males could succeed to the French throne.
"Born into a wealthy, property-owning family living just outside the city gates of Paris, her life fell apart in 1589 during the religious civil wars when mercenary troops reduced everything in her neighborhood to rubble, including her home and other family properties. With her surgeon husband already at the front, Bourgeois fled to safety within Paris with her mother and three small children.
"Upon her arrival in Paris, Bourgeois eked out an existence by doing needlepoint, her only marketable skill, and by selling personal property. She discovered her medical calling by chance when a honneste femme; i.e., an unlicensed midwife who had delivered her children, counseled her to become a midwife. Bourgeois' reading skills and connections to the medical world through her surgeon husband made a career in midwifery a natural choice, the older woman told her. Reluctant at first to engage in a craft, perhaps because it seemed lowly to her, perhaps because of the responsibility for human life it entailed, Bourgeois considered the woman's advice more seriously once economic necessity forced her to do so.
"Bourgeois trained herself by reading the works of the famous royal surgeon Ambroise Paré who had reintroduced birthing techniques for delivering malpresenting babies without the use of crochet hooks or knives, as was the usual practice. She then began delivering the children of women from her district. Word spread of her skill until ultimately she rose to the position of royal midwife, a post she acquired through a vast networking scheme that called upon her aristocratic clients, their husbands, and the royal physicians who had recommended her to Marie de Médicis.
"Clearly Bourgeois benefitted financially by becoming royal midwife. The celebrity and confidence that the king and queen bestowed upon her resulted in a payment to her of 900 livres for four royal births, an amount more than eight times that of the average yearly salary of a sage-femme pensionnée (a salaried midwife hired by a municipality). Eventually the king settled upon a yearly pension of 300 écus, a goodly amount when compared to the 26 livres a year made by midwives in the city of Nevers in 1602. Thus, in 1605, Bourgeois and her husband were able to buy a house in Paris to replace the one they had lost during the civil war, a.k.a., the 'troubles.' They were still living there during the second decade of the seventeenth century.
"The life of Louise Bourgeois, published author and royal midwife, is a true success story and a warning tale in one. Bourgeois's economic future depended on staying in the good graces of the royal family. After Henri IV was killed by an assassin in 1610, she lost her royal pension but not her title and position as royal midwife. At this juncture in her life, she complained that she had lost the Paris clients who she had neglected out of necessity during the peak of her activity at the royal court. Nevertheless, she continued to write and to publish while concerning herself with building a family medical dynasty. Two more volumes of her three volume work Observations diverses appeared in 1617 and 1626, respectively. These volumes include case histories, autobiographical materials, advice to her daughter, her thoughts on the moral and spiritual role of the midwife, criticism of physicians' and surgeons' behavior in the birthing room, as well as recipes for medicaments that any housewife could make up in her own kitchen.
"Bourgeois's daughter Marie also became a midwife and one of her sons became an apothecary. Another daughter, Françoise, married a medical student who launched a brilliant career facilitated by Bourgeois's professional connections and the huge dowry she and her surgeon husband gave to their son-in-law. Thus, Bourgeois remarked, 'The whole body of Medicine is complete in our house.'
"In 1627, one year after the final volume of her Observations diverses was published, Bourgeois suffered a serious professional blow when a very important royal died in her care. The loss of the child sent the court physicians and surgeons into an attack mode. Their autopsy report left the impression that Bourgeois had in effect killed the baby by not removing all of the placenta from the mother's womb, an unacceptable omission. While Bourgeois responded to the post-mortem autopsy report with great vigor, an anonymous author responded in kind, accusing the royal midwife of incompetence and insubordination. (At the time, physicians and surgeons were the midwives' professional overseers). We don't know how Bourgeois fared after her fall from grace. However, her overall reputation seems not to have suffered outside of courtly circles. The appearance of her last publication, Recueil de Secrets (1635), published a year before her death, suggests that at least as far as her publisher was concerned, her practical wisdom was still in demand. Recueil de Secrets contains recipes for a variety of illnesses, including, but not limited to, women's maladies.
"Louise Bourgeois's popularity can be measured by the numerous editions of the Observations diverses that appeared in French throughout the seventeenth century, along with translations of her works into Latin, German, Dutch, and English ever since. Although her fame and the recognition of her contributions to the field of obstetrics has waxed and waned over the centuries. today she is widely recognized by historians as an outstanding woman of her time."
Clio Notes: The author of this profile, Alison Klairmont Lingo (University of California, Berkeley), is currently writing an introduction, medical glossary and other accompanying notes for the first complete English translation (by Stephanie O'Hara) of the Observations diverses sur la sterilite. perte de fruit & foecondité , accouchements et maladies des femmes et enfantz nouveaux naiz (Paris, 1609, 1617, 1626). The volume is being prepared for publication in a series entitled "The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe," produced by the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies Publications (CRRS), Toronto, Canada.

Go to the limits of human experience and beyond. From the fringes of the galaxy to our own backyards, the UFO FILES searches for evidence of life beyond our world.
Tracing the long, convoluted history of UFO encounters and research, this unique series opens new windows into the controversial field.
In September 1977, a luminous object hovering about 15 feet over the water appeared in the night sky over the Brazilian island of Colares in the Amazon delta. For nearly two months, strange flying objects visited the island--big, small, saucer-shaped, cigar-shaped, luminous and dark.
Witnesses report feeling as if blood had been sucked from them by strange rays emitted from the craft. The Brazilian Air Force sent a task force to the island for three months and it returned with 300 night photos and several motion picture reels. Though a 500-page report was compiled, it was long kept from the public. Then, in May 2005, a few details were released, but many questions remain unanswered.

Cultural Routes showcase remote destinations Publié le: 15/12/2013
To further solidify Europe as the world's number one tourist destination, new markets are continuously being explored.
Building on the uniqueness and authenticity of remote destinations, Europe's 'Cultural Routes' – which vary from medieval city trails to historic wine tours – represent an opportunity for innovation, creativity and small business creation.
Over the past two decades, Europe's 'Cultural Routes' have shown great potential for creating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and promoting Europe's history-rich image. By incorporating parts of Europe which are largely unexplored – 90 % of the trails are in rural areas – Cultural Routes are a springboard to highlight the variety and complexity of Europe as a multifaceted tourism destination.

Patrick Treacy
Canadian, b. 1950
#72 (Volume 1), 2002–2004
ink, pen, gouache, leather dye on paper
25 x 35 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of the artist
Although executed in a sketchbook, this drawing by Winnipeg artist Patrick Treacy is a completely finished work. This evocative and powerful piece presents the darker side of what is considered, for many, the innocent years of childhood. Informed by the artist's distress over the representation of children in mainstream media, this complex piece attempts to expose the myth of happy endings. Upon viewing, this drawing slowly turns from appearing to be mildly innocent to macabre and disturbing. Here we are presented with a full-length portrait of a faceless doll with its chest partially exposed, and a long piece of ribbon looped through holes on either side, draping to the floor.

So I am the GM in my group and We've gotten into the first battle in the campaign and I had them fight a pair of giant spiders. But on the adversaries section, all it said the attack roll for their bite was +6.
I thought that means its the standard attack roll of 3d6+6, but that means they hit almost everytime and wipe everyone out.
So Am I missing something here or was I right all along and my players are just squishy?

Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
The Samsung 850 Evo has the best combination of performance and cost, making it the ideal drive for any home users.
While its camera isn't best-in-class and Windows Phone's underwhelming app selection still stings, the elegant and sophisticated HTC One M8 is an enticing alternative to Nokia models.
This 23-inch all-in-one is built for entertainment, offering great speakers and a striking look. But the glossy, reflective display throws a wrench in the works.
With the latest version of iOS and an NFC-equipped iPhone, you'll finally be able to pay for transactions with Apple Pay.

Nokia's phone business belongs to Microsoft now, so it's made an affordable 7.9-inch tablet with Android Lollipop and a high-res screen.
Pricing not available
The HTC Desire 510 doesn't have the specs to excite committed tech fans, but it handles the basics well, has 4G LTE for superfast data speeds, and it doesn't cost the earth.
Affordable, reliable, and easy to use, the XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 AiO 3D Printer is great leap toward making 3D printing available to the masses.
These 8-inch and 10-inch tablets run the same Intel Atom processor, but come in Windows 8 and Android flavors.

Sergio Perez acknowledges there is still "work to do" in terms of qualifying, but he is confident he can improve at McLaren.
While the Mexican is no doubt one of the most exciting drivers on the grid when it comes to extracting the best from the car on race day, he lacks quite a bit when it comes to putting in flying laps on the Saturday.
With Jenson Button also rarely setting the track alight during qualifying, McLaren know it is something they will need to sort out before the 2013 season gets underway.
Perez, who claimed three podiums with Sauber last year despite never starting on the front row of the grid, believes he can be "up there" if he gets his act together.
"We have to attack qualifying a lot more and extract the maximum," he is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"I think obviously it is something to improve.
"It is not like when you go into a top car you will be in pole position. There is work to do and I am not worried by the qualifying pace, I think I can be up there.
"If I put everything in place I can maximise the potential of the car and that is the most important thing as a driver."
After spending his first two seasons with Sauber, the 22-year-old has to come to terms with a lot of new things following his move to McLaren.
However, team principal Martin Whitmarsh has been showing him the ropes.
"Even though I've not had much time with him, since the beginning he has helped me with everything, has been there for me," Perez said.
"He is a great boss. I already have a great relationship with him, a very friendly relationship. It's good to have such a relationship with your boss.
"At the end of the day we both have the same target, and that is to be World Champion."
Asked if he viewed Whitmarsh as a father figure, Perez replied: "Yeah, maybe. He is old enough to be!
"He is a good guy, I see him as a good friend. I have a lot of trust in him, so I'm very honoured, happy and lucky to have such a boss."

There are several principles about immigration that the Catholic Church teaches, sometimes having a tension that we must balance when examining the issue.
As a nation we are obligated to welcome those who wish to enter the USA, in search of a better life (that is, within limits that are imposed by the state). Those immigrating also have the duty of following the law.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in paragraph 2241, says:
"The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.Notice, that the Church is not advocating an "open border" policy. Yet, there are duties for those who immigrate as well - notably to obey the laws of the country they are entering (including how they enter, paying taxes, etc.). Illegal immigrants, by definition, are not cooperating in fulfilling this principle.
Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens."
Principle #1 - The state has the right to set the boundaries around what they consider to be the ordinary ways of entering the country and how they secure their borders. Thus, the policies of the USA are not inherently unjust because they define these parameters. But, this can't be a closed-door policy either. In fact, the manner in which all immigrants (both legal and illegal) are processed in the USA is shameful. But, the USA doesn't have to accept everyone who wants to come either.
Principle #2 - The homeland of every person should seek justice for it's people. There is a scourge of corruption which continues the cycle of poverty in most poor countries. If we truly want to seek justice for the immigrant, then we need to seek it in the homelands of our immigrants, first. The USA is still just in the vast majority of it's laws and public policies.
Principle #3 - If need be, then persons have the right to migrate for the good of their families or for their own sake. But, the Church doesn't make this an absolute. Rather, it is to be for the protection of those who cannot survive otherwise.
Principle #4 - Refugees and those seeking asylum should be protected. We should be the country where people can feel safe from totalitarianism and we should be a haven for refugees who cannot live in their homelands.
Principle #5 - Illegal immigrants are still human beings with inherent dignity and rights and should be treated as such. Yet, this doesn't mean that the USA can't enforce it's laws, but rather, it's laws should treat people justly. For instance, deporting only parents and leaving their children behind is unjust. All have the inherent right to be treated fairly by the justice system during legal proceedings and/or deportation.
Principle #6 - Immigration is not an issue that is easy to solve, nor are any of the "easy solution" advocates balancing all of the above principles. This principle is my own. I rarely see someone who wrestles with the issue, but more commonly see a political agenda being pushed.
What we should not do is pass off the issue as an easy one of either completely opening / closing the borders or of enforcement/non-enforcement of current laws. Rather, true immigration reform will have to take up the competing rights and interests of the many facets of the issue.
So, as Catholics, when trying to decide what political policies are best in this area, we must do the following:
- Properly form our consciences on the subject, including intellectual and spiritual formation. So, we should continue to study the issue and pray about it. I would also recommend discussing it with a spiritual director.
- We must then follow our consciences on the matter.
God bless all immigrants and our leaders trying to reform the system.

Glaciers in Iowa
This video player uses Microsoft Silverlight.
Glaciers moved into Iowa then receded. In a sense they were they first to settle this land called Iowa. They ground down the rough lands, they dug out lakes crushing trees and shrubs and grasses. And wherever they moved a rich soil was left to grow from the crushed and dying vegetation. Melting glaciers created both the gently trickling streams and the rushing rivers. And when the glaciers at last reseeded from the land, a new plant life flourished. Buffalo and beaver and elk and other wild animals found the land to their liking and they too flourished.

Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - On his first official trip to Israel, President Barack Obama brought along some gifts that are Maryland-made.
Among the items the president gave to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family Wednesday were two Kiddush cups for Netanyahu's sons and a pair of Shabbat candlesticks for Netanyahu's daughter.
All four items were crafted by sculptor Zachary Oxman who lives in Bethesda, Md. and has a studio in Rockville, Md.
"For me this is what I do every day. I make art. I make these objects. And stepping back and realizing the historic reference of the exchange of gifts that it is, it's humbling and it is a real honor," Oxman says.
This is not the first time Oxman has been asked by the White House to create official gifts, but each time is special.
"It's incredibly surreal to think that one of your works of art will be in the hands of these different world leaders or their families."
Oxman says although he creates the art and adds personalized inscriptions to each, he doesn't always get to meet the recipients.
"Two years ago, I had the amazing opportunity when (former Israeli) President Peres was presented with one of my sculptural Seder plates. I actually got to meet him," he says.
Oxman says the meeting happened at Blair House and all he was expecting was a quick handshake, but Peres spent 5 minutes talking with Oxman about the experience of receiving the gift and what he thought of it.
"It was an unexpected, unbelievable experience," Oxman says.
This Kiddush cup is similar to one given by President Barack Obama. (Courtesy of Zachary Oxman)
