I have few favorite quotes that I keep telling myself. Sometimes, it's amazing how a quote can influence someone so much. When in doubt, they act as guides and support you. They embolden you to take an action or give you encouragement to do something that's deep inside you.
One of my favorite quotes (which I put in my profile) is:
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality. - Alighieri Dante
One could take a stand, be neutral or fight it out. There is a tendency amongst fiery youth to fight for a cause vehemently and vociferously. This has brought in many revolutions on the planet- both good and bad. The problem is when they do not want to see reason and want to uphold their belief no matter what.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. - Bertrand Russell
The problem is not with our youth, but with the way they are brought up. There is a practice inherent in our human evolution which involves parents teaching their kids lot of 'rules' to ensure their survivability. Example: It's better to teach the kids to be wary of snakes instead of allowing the kid to experiment with it and find out. This teaching helped by sheer innocence and immense credulity on part of the kids is a very important trait in humans because it allows the kids to learn lot of stuff in a very short period of time so that they don't have to waste time in experimentation to learn what many generations prior to them have already learnt. But there are some negative consequences to this teaching though. In addition to the basic skills and bare necessities, parents also teach kids their habits- both good and bad, customs- of religion and caste, idiosyncrasies, belief systems, and even prejudices. In an ideal environment the kid grows up to reevaluate what he has been taught, but that may not happen, especially when they are taught not to reevaluate. In societies like
I think there are two types of teaching- Intentional and Unintentional. Intentional teaching involves parent consciously teaching the kids- like how to pray, or ride a bicycle, eating habits, etc. Unintentional teaching could be dad smoking, mom scolding the maid, dad upholding secular principles while talking to others, mom talking negative against certain religions or caste, dad throwing garbage on the streets, etc. This kid who is trained to believe everything his parents teach also acquires these prejudices and habits without questioning them. While some kids are taught to reevaluate their learning, most others inherit all their parents' prejudices. For those who do not reevaluate, their ability to acquire new learning also diminishes and they continue to harbor the same prejudices all their life. If needed they fight vehemently and vociferously, blinded by faith. They do not know what they do not know and hence they seem to believe they know everything.
I am not young enough to know everything. - Oscar Wilde
I don't consider myself wise. I don't consider myself a fool either. I am in between somewhere trying to understand the complexities of this world. When in conflict or a dilemma, most often one can find the right path after certain amount of deliberation. Nobody needs media or other experts to deliberate it for them. But I guess most of them are just lazy. It's extremely easy to believe than inquire.
Hence the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire. - Friedrich Nietzsche
It's not like people cannot converge on a right path. It's not like our eminent directors of institutes, business leaders, and famous doctors are not sensitive to the social issues of
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. - Sir Winston Chu
In my discussions on Reservations I did not use too many statistics. Many are available at http://www.theotherindia.org/ I wanted myself to ask some basic questions and provide answers to instill healthy discussion and debate in a composed and calm manner instead of joining the bandwagon of
I borrowed the following from Gaddeswarup's blog
BenjaminFranklin at age of 81:
… for having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought were right, but found to be otherwise. It is therefore that the older I grow the more apt I am to doubt my own judgement, and to pay more respect to the judgement of others. Most men indeed as well as most sects in religion, think themselves in possession of all truth, and that wherever others differ from them it is so far error….
You must be the change you want to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi
I will start with myself. I apologize.
I apologize to all my fellow low-caste Indians who have been discriminated, persecuted, and ostracized for centuries. Millions of you have died without knowing what it means to read or write, not able to appreciate the beauty of poetry or the music of art. This land is considered great for inventing zero, and you could not enjoy knowing mathematics. This land produced Arthashastra, but you had no idea what it was about. For thousands of years, we have denied you access to religious places, our village wells, and our schools. I apologize on behalf of all my ancestors who have ill-treated you.
I shall teach my kids to be more tolerant of other kinds of people. I shall teach them to respect the oppressed for the pain they have endured for centuries. I shall teach my kids the evils of discrimination and take them to villages. Hopefully they will grow mature to respect and tolerate special rights given to certain people. Hopefully my kid will be able to understand and respect why this backward-caste kid has special rights to get into this institution while he cannot. I sincerely hope he will not be out there protesting, fasting and groveling on the streets to secure a place for himself.
I apologize to all the women whose only duty in this world was to serve, feed and produce kids. You have been discriminated for centuries in this country. When your husband died, we put you on his funeral pyre to die. You had no identity other than being attached to another man. Millions of you died not knowing what it means to be heard.
Finally, I apologize to all minority religions in
I sincerely apologize.

Well, it's not exactly a surprise that the title that managed to win the Kotaku GOTY and the Reader's Choice GOTY also managed to get the most votes for the third annual Speakys. That's right, The Last of Us is your 2013 Speakys Game of the Year!
It joins Skyrim and Borderlands 2 on the top of the mountain, while A Link Between Worlds snagged the respectable runner-up position. But that doesn't mean Nintendo's newest Zelda adventure didn't have some stiff competition. It only edged out GTAV and Bioshock Infinite by ten votes to take second place! And let's not forget about Fire Emblem, a game that almost took third and was (for a brief moment) winning the whole shebang. Here are all the numbers for the final vote.
I'd like to thank everyone who voted in round one and in round two. I'm always happy to see how these awards turn out, even if there seems to be a clear winner from the start. Let's have a round of applause for all the games that made 2013 another wonderful year to be gamer. 2014 will surely produce some fantastic titles and I can't wait to see who wins next year.

>From New Paltz Journal:
…Obama rounded the curve and sped past the creepiest thing I've ever seen in American politics way back in the campaign. All along that campaign way it was clear to me that he made the Clintons and James Carville look like the front porch crowd at Maggie's Rest Home.
Belong your adult life to the black equivalent of a Klan-based Christian Identity church? No problem. Just pretend you're shocked when the stuff you've been listening to for twenty years goes mainstream and say you never heard it. You only went to the Klan rallies because your uncle ran them, but you certainly never set any of the crosses on fire.
A little lying is a part of political life in America. The Clintons saw that normative political lying and raised it a house of lies. Obama has pushed reality itself into the pot, along with the United States of America. Does he have any cards?
Of course not. For starters, this administration doesn't even qualify as a television reality show. It doesn't have the bona fides for that. This is a make it up as you go along Marxist takeover by Leftist slobs. My guess on boxers or briefs for this administration is: neither…
Read the whole thing, then buckle up.

Hi there,
Chanalyzer-4 and Chanalyzer Pro seem to be very interesting tools for (simple) spectrum analysis. However, they seem to only generate certain types of figures and reports, and the data cannot be exported to create your own figures. Imagine that you want to plot the received signal strength at certain frequency band acquired with Chanalyzer-4/Pro, together with the throughput obtained with a different application running in paralel. We would need to do the measurements/recording with both applications simultaneously, and then process the data to jointly plot these two parameters e.g. with Matlab/octave.
The question is then, does anybody know if it would be possible with Chanalyzer-4/Pro to save the results in raw format (e.g. plain text) so that we can manipulate them and create our own figures? As an example for channel 2.4GHz, it could be simply a text file with different columns like:
time frequency amplitude
0.1 2.4 -99
0.2 2.4 -97
0.3 2.4 -99
0.4 2.4 -95
Many thanks in advance,

Our very first taste of San Fran — Lattes with local, organic milk and homemade rosemary, olive oil shortbread from Blue Bottle (the Mint St. location). In one word? Perfection.
This was my first meal in San Fran at Grandeho's Kamekyo II (on Hyde St. between the GoCars and The Buena Vista Cafe). Heaven on earth aka vegeterian pho. This would have been incredibly delicious and satisfying no matter what, but it was especially relished after not having eaten since 5am AND walking 3 miles to get from our hotel to here. I made a point to go back again for the same meal plus a side of delicious and very spicy kimchi. The owner commented how much I like spicy things (indeed I do)…yum yum yummm!
There were many, many more delicious teas, coffees, snacks, and meals to follow, but unfortunately I didn't keep up with my picture taking! Basically, nothing ever dissapointed and I can truly understand all of the raving about the food of San Fran.

Author: Joseph R. Baxter
Corporations and home users alike need firewall protection. Many choices abound, including some expensive, commercial options that only run on specialized hardware. Others, like SmoothWall Express, are freely downloadable, built on the same technology as the commercial solutions, and even deliver some superior features.
SmoothWall Express 3.0, from August 2007, is an open source firewall distribution released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It provides all the features commonly found in a modern system, but also a few that you might not expect. Stateful inspection, dynamic and static NAT, egress controls, demilitarized zone (DMZ) segmentation, and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server are de rigueur in today's world. However, this package adds a selection of proxy servers for the Web (content filtering is available in the commercial editions), POP3 mail, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Domain Name System (DNS), and instant messaging. You can configure the proxies to further protect networks with antivirus scanning and forensic logging, and Snort intrusion-detection software is built in for logging suspicious events. However, real-time alerting via email or SMS text messages is not available on the Express version. SmoothWall also features a simple quality of service (QoS) management that business and home users alike should find valuable.
With a free registered account, you can access my.SmoothWall, a hosted service that collects data on firewall specs, chipsets, and more. A world map plots the data, allowing you to anonymously view listings of hardware in use throughout the world. They have titled the beta my.SmoothWall Web site Firewall Management, but it is unclear how extensive this management will be in the final version. It might become a comprehensive set of tools like those that service providers on the SonicWALL platform use to administrate multiple customers; or it might remain only a place for update notifications and deployment data. In either case, this level of integration to the vendor Web site is almost unknown among open source firewalls.
On the down side, SmoothWall Express curtails the VPN features offered in commercial versions to simply provide support for an IPsec peer-to-peer endpoint. Authentication to common directories and databases (such as LDAP, AD, and NDS) is also available as value-added features. These design decisions tailor the product line to the user's benefit — developer SmoothWall Limited maintains a revenue stream on enterprise-oriented technologies while still providing high-quality free software for branch VPNs, small businesses, and home users.
SmoothWall Express 3.0 is not an installable application but rather a full operating system and security appliance distribution. It requires a Pentium or better processor with at least 64MB of RAM for simple firewalling. In tests, a Pentium III with 512MB of RAM handled the load with all services started.
SmoothWall lives up to its name during the install process. You can download the fairly small image (69MB for the 32-bit version and 71MB for 64-bit), burn it to a CD, and install SmoothWall in just a few minutes. Should trouble arise, you can download comprehensive installation documentation.
Using the install CD was painless. Driver support seemed good, and the installer had no problem probing for common network cards. It even found a few oddball chipsets (Tulip-based) that had previously caused some confusion to one BSD-based firewall. The only hiccup came from an incompatibility with the LILO bootloader and one older AMD Athlon motherboard. LILO hung with a 02 error until I lowered the PIO Mode and UDMA settings on the IDE interface within the BIOS. Other systems I tested did not experience the issue.
During the install, before configuration begins, you must select one of three basic egress filtering settings: open, closed, or half-open. Open is precisely what it sounds like — essentially an Allow All setting to outgoing traffic. Closed is a Deny All to outgoing. Half-open is a prebuilt rule set that allows common protocols, such as HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, FTP, and SSH, to leave the network, but denies all the rest. This setting is an effective compromise, and results in a safely functioning border device.
The software prompts to assign and configure the network interfaces, sets up the administrator password, then it reboots.
After the install finishes, you do all further configuration via a browser. Each network card in a SmoothWall system is given a color designation. Green is for the internal segment, red denotes the connection to the Internet, and purple and orange designate DMZs for wireless access points or other Internet-facing servers. The interface is clean and well laid out, and works well with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Since the install connected the red interface to the Internet, my first access of the home page led to the following message: There are updates available for your system. Please go to the "Updates" section for more information. I found the Updates menu item under Maintenance. Clicking Check for Updates yielded several results, but the update screen itself yielded no feedback other than the browser status bar. It gave no indication of whether a reboot was required after installing the updates. Yet after a reboot, the LILO menu contained a new option indicating an update had taken place. Some feedback to prompt a restart would have been appropriate. To its credit, however, the system performed a full reboot in less than a minute, even on less-than-optimal hardware.
While the out-of-the-box SmoothWall install works, additional customization brings out the real power of its features. The Services tab allows you to monitor each advanced feature, including time, remote access, intrusion detection, dynamic DNS updates, and proxy services. Each works flawlessly, although two strange elements seem contradictory. First, Secure Shell (SSH) access services and other services are not started by default, but ping (ICMP) is configured to reply both externally and internally. Second, while SmoothWall supports most dynamic DNS services, DNS-O-Matic is notably missing. An additional layer of Web filtering from OpenDNS via DNS-O-Matic would be a nice benefit. Still, unlike with many firewalls, you may use multiple dynamic DNS services simultaneously.
The Networking tab exposes the interface settings, IP address blocking, timed access, and traffic rules. Incoming and outgoing rules are easy to create and maintain. However, one idiosyncrasy results in behavior that is not obvious at first. Editing an outgoing rule actually removes it from the rule set completely. If you don't add it back before navigating away from that page, it will be gone. Simply selecting a rule to view it in greater detail may inadvertently cause an administrator to break functionality to some application.
In the uncomplicated QoS configuration section, you can use drop-down boxes to select upload and download connection speeds and enable the service. The QoS engine prioritizes different types of traffic to make the connection speed seem faster. The settings are combo boxes, which makes them approachable even to non-technical users. By default, instant messaging traffic is set to low priority, VPN traffic to normal, and gaming traffic to high.
The Tools tab holds several useful utilities, such as ping and traceroute, as well as the Java-based SSH interface, which grants easy command-line access remotely. It extends the system beyond what the Web interface provides.
The Web interface features four other main tabs. The VPN configuration tab is limited in the Express edition, particularly in comparison to other firewalls in the SmoothWall family. As stated before, the Maintenance tab contains links to updates, passwords, and reboots. The About tab displays status for the system, bandwidth usage, and traffic monitoring in graphs accompanied by tabular data on all major services. Finally, the Logs tab lets you dive deeper into events. There you can find details about the system, Web proxy, firewall, IDS, instant messages, and email logs.
Although most logs are text-based listings, they include some advanced functionality. You can filter the Web proxy logs to ignore certain strings to pare down the results. The Firewall log not only displays a list of data, but it also provides the ability to look up a source or destination address directly from the log viewer. If an unwanted address appears, you can add it to the blocked IP list with the click of a button. The IM proxy, which logs conversations, works for most major services except Google Talk. The viewer contains a rich control that organizes conversations by service name (such as MSN and ICQ), by users in chat, and by date. The IM log widget refreshes periodically, which enables you to follow conversations in near real time.
The IDS log is not as feature-rich, but you can export most of the SmoothWall logs into CSV format from within the Web interface. You can then carry out forensic inspection of events elsewhere.
To test the firewall, I employed some tools found on the BackTrack live CD against the external (red) interface, and SmoothWall fared well. Network AutoScan found the SmoothWall firewall eventually, but the system appeared with a completely unknown fingerprint. At the same time within SmoothWall's interface, the IDS log detected the scan as abnormal external traffic. Metasploit AutoPwn did not gain an attack surface and also generated logged port scans. On the internal network (green) interface, with ICMP turned off on the firewall, Nessus was helpless to discover that the host existed on the network.
SmoothWall provides robust features and usability, making it a good choice in spite of tough competition within its peer group. It makes complicated settings approachable and sets up filtering by default, which is considered advanced configuration in most other firewalls.
On the other hand, the distribution has a few issues and oversights. It could have better feedback within the interface, and there should be no doubt that an update is being applied or whether and when a reboot is required. Also, there should be no risk of accidentally deleting a firewall rule when an admin only wants to view a few details, and a correlation engine for the various logs would be useful. Simply being able to dredge all of the logs by a specific time frame would deliver a bigger-picture view for efficient investigation of suspected attacks.
Of course, no firewall is perfect or sufficient by itself. In-depth defense is the only strategy that has any hope of protecting valuable data and resources. SmoothWall Express 3.0 stands ready to occupy its place as a key part of that defense strategy for enterprise or home.

A former systems security adviser to Nortel Networks says he has no doubt that extensive cyberattacks on the technology company contributed to its downfall.
In an interview with the CBC's As It Happens, Brian Shields, the former senior systems security adviser at Nortel, said spying by hackers allegedly based in China "absolutely" was a "considerable factor."
"When they see what your business plans are, that's a huge advantage. It's unfair business practices that really bring down a company of this size," Shields said.
Nortel is currently selling off assets in the wake of a 2009 bankruptcy filing.
Shields said both the Canadian and Chinese governments should investigate.
"Your government needs to step in and provide direct assistance with an expert team … [that will] help with the forensics."
He insisted the hackers were based in China, something the Chinese government has rejected.
Earlier this week, its embassy in Canada said "cyberattacks are transnational and anonymous. It is irresponsible to prejudge the origin of attacks without thorough investigation and hard evidence."
The embassy added that China's government "strictly prohibits" hacking and "stands ready to step up international co-operation in this field."
RIM a 'huge target'
"The Chinese government ought to go to that location and get those computers and work with the Canadian government to help solve what happened here," he said.
Shields has alleged that Chinese hackers had unfettered access to the former telecommunications giant as far back as 2000, downloaded business plans, research and development reports, employee emails and other documents.
He maintains that Canadian companies — including Waterloo, Ont.-based Research in Motion — continue to be targets.
"Absolutely. Without a doubt. The questions you've got to ask is, is there something of value? Companies, for example, like RIM [are] a huge target. They ought to worry about this stuff. And anybody else that is in technology or oil exploration. This is economic espionage. It truly is."
Corporate espionage is a growing problem for North American companies, with the majority of attacks coming from China.
Last November, a group of U.S. analysts said there were as many as 12 different Chinese groups participating in cyberattacks on U.S. companies and government agencies.
During BHP Billiton's hostile takeover bid for Saskatchewan's PotashCorp, hackers traced to China targeted Bay Street law firms and other companies to get insider information on the $38-billion corporate takeover.
Those same hackers also targeted Canadian government computers in fall 2010, targeting the Finance Department, the Treasury Board, and Defence Research and Development Canada, a civilian agency of the Department of National Defence.
"It's very personal to me because I'm very sad-hearted about what happened to so many of my friends, to this once great Canadian company," Shields told As it Happens.
"I was very proud to work there for so many years. I used to say it was the best job in the world."

I have been living in Istanbul, in Taksim, for the last year and a half. This weekend I felt at home here for the first time. Against the tense backdrop and amidst the clouds of tear gas people are being exceptionally kind.
A woman in the street approached me yesterday evening shyly and said: "I see that you are pregnant, and just wanted to tell you that there are fights in Besiktas now and a lot of tear gas. Please don't go there." Others offer me water in the street, a gas mask or to step into their shop to rest.
The last few days in Istanbul have been quite extraordinary, scary at times but inspiring nevertheless.
On Sunday, there was a feeling of victory in the air. The police retreated from Gezi Park at around 5pm on Saturday. They did not return to the Taksim area, where I live and where our office is.
The city center was fairly calm, at least until the evening.
At around midday on Sunday, I went with some friends and colleagues to Gezi Park. It was peaceful and sunny.
There I saw things that moved me to tears: thousands of people were walking around the park with garbage bags loading them full of the destruction of the last few days. People were even picking up cigarette butts, leaving the park spotless.
On one corner of the park there is a makeshift stall where food and drinks are being handed out. Someone gave me a bottle of water and urged me to take a pastry. Every minute someone came to the stall loading it up with a donation of food, drinks and cleaning materials. The clean up extended beyond the park reaching out across the city. In my neighborhood, where the day before there were violent clashes, people came out early in the morning and cleaned their streets.
It is these acts of solidarity and spontaneity that have been making the last few days so remarkable. After a calm day, in the evening news came about police violence in the capital of Ankara and in the Istanbul neighborhood of Besiktas.
I was at friend's house, standing at the entrance of the building when someone in an upper floor of the building next door opened the window and started tapping with a spoon on a pot. Within seconds, people in the buildings around joined from their balconies and windows, taping on pots, pans or glass bottles: within minutes the neighborhood was taping to the same rhythm. People in the street were clapping or whistling to express their solidarity with Ankara and Besiktas. It is hard to explain how moving it was, how with such limited means such a powerful sentiment can be expressed.
My colleagues in Greenpeace office here have been doing incredible work.
The office has remained open non-stop since Friday and as protests intensified in the evening and surged closer to the office (it is about 1 km away from Taksim Square, on the main avenue leading to it). The police moved closer dispensing an enormous amounts of tear gas.
Saturday was the most intensive day by far. I arrived in the office in the morning when the streets were clear and everything seemed quiet. Within a couple of hours the streets were filled with gas again.
Our office is on the fifth floor, from the windows we could see the police clashing with protesters. By the early afternoon the gas became so thick it was getting hard to breath in the office.
Two of the rooms were converted into clinics where protesters who suffered from tear-gas exposure could be treated by nurses, supported by Greenpeace staff members. Volunteers and activists were working together.
It was very dangerous by then to leave the office and almost impossible to get in, but still people found a way to bring us food and medical supplies, or just to offer support.
In the afternoon the atmosphere became quite tense, a tear-gas canister was fired directly at the office floor, luckily hitting the roof and not the closed balcony underneath it where many people were standing. We were concerned the police might come up and start arresting people, although we had done nothing wrong.
By 5pm suddenly the tide had turned, there were thousands of people flooding the street toward the square and the police all retreated in an instant.
Again amongst the high drama with many brave acts its was the seemingly small acts of solidarity, of individuals doing what ever they could to help were the ones that made this day truly remarkable for me.
To name just a few that stayed with me: a supporter stuffing the fridge with milk (good for tear-gas inhalation) and food supplies without anyone even noticing; a group of girls making lunch in the kitchen; to the many who kept pouring in and finally after things have calmed down - a girl, not a staff member or anyone I've seen before, washing all the dishes and cleaning the kitchen that was earlier used to feed many.
I think at this stage no one can say if this will slowly die down or develop into something more, no one could have predicted only a few days ago a simple peaceful protest in defense of a city park would spin so out of control and inspire so many to stand up for the right to peaceful protest. Whatever happens, witnessing the power and will of the people to come together, from all walks of life, across party lines and without any clear guidance or organisation, has been really been a privilege and inspiration which will last a life time.
Jen Maman is the Peace Advisor of Greenpeace International. She is based in Istanbul.

From HaskellWiki
Yogurt is a small MUD client library written in Haskell. It can be downloaded from hackage. Yogurt is a DSL embedded in Haskell. Unlike other MUD clients out there, it doesn't offer its own syntax; instead, it relies on Haskell and naturally offers all Haskell's features. This means full control over what messages are sent, variables with any valid Haskell type, no ambiguity about whether a variable is expanded at hook define time or hook trigger time, no clumsy syntax, et cetera. On the other hand, this means you do not get the ability to change the installed hooks at runtime for free.
Yogurt is best explained by an example:
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fglasgow-exts #-}
module Main where
import Network.Yogurt
import Network.Yogurt.Utils
import Data.Char
import Control.Monad (replicateM)
main :: IO ()
main = connect "eclipse.cs.pdx.edu" 7680 newmoon
newmoon :: Mud ()
newmoon = do
-- Automatically log in.
mkTriggerOnce "^Enter your name:" $ do
sendln "username"
sendln "password"
-- Sound bell everytime someone sends you a tell.
mkTrigger "tells you: " (echo "\BEL")
-- Send return every 5 minutes to keep connection alive.
mkTimer 300000 (sendln "")
-- Count the number of occurrences of the word "quiet".
vQuiet <- mkVar 0
mkTrigger "quiet" $ modifyVar vQuiet (+ 1)
mkCommand "quiet" $ readVar vQuiet >>= echoln . show
-- Show all currently installed hooks.
mkCommand "lshooks" $ do
allHooks >>= echoln . unlines . map show
-- We can do fun stuff with recursive monads:
mkCommand "go" $ mdo
t <- mkTimerOnce 1000 (echoln "hello!" >> rmHook h)
h <- mkCommand "stop" (rmTimer t >> rmHook h)
-- Although we don't get any scripting for free, it's easy to build some.
-- For example, use semicolons to split commands:
mkPrioHook 10 Remote ";" $ do
before >>= matchMoreOn . (++ "\n")
after >>= matchMoreOn'
-- Or allow runtime system commands:
mkHook Remote "^system (.*)" (group 1 >>= system)
-- Speedwalks: for example, 6n expands to n;n;n;n;n;n.
mkHook Remote "^[0-9]+[neswud]$" $ do
(n, dir) <- fmap (span isDigit) (group 0)
replicateM (read n) (sendln dir)
return ()

The 25th annual Shark Week may be wrapping up, but things are just getting started for a robot in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Recently deployed by researchers at Stanford University, the unmanned Wave Glider robot will spend its career heeding the famous advice of "30 Rock's" Tracy Jordan: "Live every week like it's Shark Week."
The self-propelled, solar-powered robot was released from the U.S. coast near San Francisco, where Stanford scientists say it will join "an arsenal of ocean-observing technologies" that spy on great white sharks and other sea creatures in real time.
The arsenal also includes a network of data receivers on fixed buoys, which the Wave Glider will join in collecting data from acoustic-tagged animals that pass within 1,000 feet. These signals are then sent to an onshore research team led by Stanford marine biologist Barbara Block, who wants to create a "wired ocean" that can broadcast wildlife activities worldwide via floating WiFi hotspots, according to a press release.
"Our goal is to use revolutionary technology that increases our capacity to observe our oceans and census populations, improve fisheries management models, and monitor animal responses to climate change," Block says in a statement.
The Wave Glider and fixed buoys will spend this summer and fall transmitting data from animals off the California coast, including a small population of great white sharks that conservationists recently petitioned the federal government to classify as an endangered species. This area is part of a broader, densely biodiverse region known as the "Blue Serengeti," which is teeming with blue whales, bluefin tuna, white sharks, mako sharks, sea turtles, elephant seals and other sea life.
All this data won't be limited to academia, either. Thanks to a new iOS app called "Shark Net," anyone with an iPhone or iPad can track the Blue Serengeti's inhabitants in real time. "The idea behind the app is to allow everyone to explore the places where these sharks live," Stanford marine biologist Randy Kochevar says in a statement via GTOPP, "and to get to know them just like their friends on Facebook or Google+."
Users can receive alerts anytime a tagged shark passes within 1,000 feet of a floating data receiver, and can even find out when it's a specific, named shark (like "Bite Head" or "Mr. Burns"). There are photos, 3-D models and historical data for each individual shark, letting users stalk the predators online much like they stalk prey at sea.
"People realize this is important, but it's hard for them to connect on a visceral, personal level to the incredible biodiversity in their own backyard," Kochevar says. "Through this app, we're able to put the Blue Serengeti right in their hands. They can follow individual sharks and learn about their lives and feeding habits."
While the monitoring network will be limited to part of the California coast for now, Block hopes to eventually extend it down the entire west coast of North America, tracking animals ranging from salmon to sea turtles to great white sharks. She's also working on a plan to obtain U.N. World Heritage Site designation for the Blue Serengeti. "This place is one of the last wild places left on Earth," she says.
Here's a video of the Wave Glider robot being deployed:

- Cheaper Generic >>> Tadalafil
- Effective for upto 72 hours
- Takes about 30 minutes to take effect
- Daily 2.5 and 5mg doses available
NOTE: After selecting this product, you will need to complete a short assessment, so we can make sure this medication is suitable for you.
Buying Cialis Online
You can buy Cialis online from our UK registered online pharmacy and doctor service. Cialis is a treatment for erectile dysfunction, containing the active ingredient Tadalafil. Cialis and all ED medications should be used responsibly, and only by those who suffer from dysfunction.
To order Cialis online, you will need to complete a medical assessment so our doctors can assess your suitability for this treatment. If your order is approved, a prescription is passed to our UK registered pharmacy, who will dispense and deliver your order.
Cheaper Generic Cialis
Tadalafil which is the active ingredient in Cialis is now available generically. In 2017, the patent for the exclusive manufacture of this drug expired, and so Lilly were no longer the only company able to market this medication. When a patent expires, prices will often drop drastically, making medications more affordable for patients and the NHS.
'Generic Cialis' is medically equivalent to Cialis, and contains Tadalfil, the same ingredient. It is Tadalafil which works to increase blood flow to the penis to help achieve an erection.
Cialis Summary
|Taking Cialis
Take one tablet about 30 minutes before sex. The effects of Cialis can sometimes be noticed as soon as after 30 minutes, and last for up to 36 hours.
Never take more than a ONE tablet within 36 hours
Although Cialis can be taken with food, this may slow down the time it takes for the drug to work.
|How it works
Cialis works by increasing blood flow into the erectile tissue of the penis. Cialis does not have an impact on libido, only your ability to get and maintain an erection when sexual aroused.
Most men will notice a firmer and longer-lasting erection. If the treatment does not work, ask our doctors (or your own GP), whether it would be appropriate to increase the dose. Alternatively, they may recommend another treatment.
If Cialis doesn't work for you first time round, it could nevertheless be more effective next time. Doctors often advise trying all erectile dysfunction medicines eight times before giving up.
|Side effects
While side effects are uncommon, they can include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Cialis can also cause nasal congestion, headaches, facial flushing, slight vertigo, a pounding heartbeat and blurred vision.
|Nitrates and Cialis
Cialis can not be prescribed by our doctor if you are taking nicorandil or nitrate based medication, such as GTN spray or isosorbide mononitrate tablets for angina.
|Alpha-blockers and Cialis
If you are taking alpha-blocking medicines, such as tamsulosin or trazodone, you are advised to leave at least six hours between taking your alpha-blocker and Cialis.
About Cialis
What It Does
Cialis is part of a group of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. These drugs work by increaseing the blood flow to your penis when sexually stimulated. For men who are unable to achieve a sufficient erection for penetration, Cialis and the other erectile dysfunction drugs have proven highly effective. They have helped millions of men have normal sex lives.
Why Choose Cialis
The main reason many men may choose Cialis over the other ED drugs available, is it's long lasting effect. Tadalafil can be effective for up to 72 hours after dosing, and so men may be able to have regular sexual activity for 3 days after taking a dose. Wihle many patients who used Cialis have now chosen to use the generic form, there is still a brand recognition with the original Lilly product, and men will still choose Cialis over Tadalafil for this reason.
The Wekend Pill
Due to this long lasting effect, Cialis has become known as "The Weekend Pill". This long lasting effect is the distint difference between Viagra and Cialis, and the reason why men will select Cialis over the other PDE5 inhibitor drugs available.
Cialis Daily
More recently, Cialis has become available as a daily dose in 2.5 and 5mg strenghts. Men may consider using the daily dosage if they have found the 'when required' dosage effective. The reason the daily form of the drug is advantageous is that men no longer need to always remember to take their cialis dose 30 minutes before sexual activity. The daily dose is taken each day, and maintains levels of Tadalafil in the blood. This means that an erection should be achived at any time of day or night, without needing to remember to take your medicatoin just before. This daily tablet is particularly useful for men with a highly active sex life.
Initial Dosage
The recommended starting dose of Cialis is 10mg, 30 minutes before sexual activity. If unsuccessful, the dosage can be increased to 20mg. A second dose should not be taken however within 72 hours of the first. It it advised that any ED medication should be taken several times, before deciding to try another, as it may not work first time.
Cialis Alternatives
Drug alternatives to Cialis include the famous blue pill, Viagra. Sildenafil is a generic form of Viagra, which is cheaper but contains the same active ingredient. Spedra and Levitra are two other ED drugs also available in the UK.
Some men may also find that counselling is effective in treating their ED. For men whose erectile dysfunction is mainly down to nerves, or some other form of anxiety, psychologists can assist in developing techniques to better cope with situations where stress occurs. This in turn, can help improve your sexual performance.
Lifesyle changes can also help some men to overcome erectile dysfunction symptoms. Obesity and alcohol are both factors in erectile dysfunction, and decreaseing your alcohol intake, and exercising more, can have a positive impact on your ability to get and maintain an erection.

When February rolls around, almost everyone starts to think about boxes of chocolate and candle lit dinners in honor of Valentine's Day, but, did you know this month is also Responsible Pet Owners Month? So, while you are enjoying your candy or admiring your bouqet of roses, don't forget that this holiday poses threats to your pet. Celebrate Responsible Pet Owners Month by keeping them safe and showing them some love, too.
Pet-friendly Bouquets
Lilies are common in Valentine's arrangements, but they are also potentially fatal to cats. This flora can cause stomach upset, vomiting or diarrhea. The most popular flower this season is the rose, of course. The thorns on roses can cause serious infection if a puncture occurs from a pet biting, stepping on or swallowing their sharp spines.
Forbidden Sweets
There may be nothing more tempting for your pet than the brand new box of truffles sitting on the coffee table. Chocolate, including baker's, semi sweet, milk and especially dark chocolate, is potentially life threatening to pets if it is ingested. Darker chocolate can cause vomiting/diarrhea, hyperactivity, seizures and an abnormally elevated heart rate while the lighter version's high-fat content can potentially lead to a life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas.
Sip Safely
Spilling a glass of wine or leaving the champagne bottle on the table may not seem like a big deal at the time, but should your pet get to the alcohol, it can mean harm. Since our pets are much smaller, just a little bit of alcohol can do a lot of damage, causing vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, lack of coordination, tremors, metabolic disturbances, difficulty breathing and can even result in a coma or fatal respiratory failure.
February is the month to celebrate love for every important member of our family – two and four legged. Show your pets how much you care about them during Responsible Pet Owners Month by protecting them from potentially life threatening hazards that can lead to celebrating in the emergency veterinary clinic. Having PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance Plus Preventive Care Benefits will help protect your pet should they find the box of chocolates or finish of the bottle of wine. Protecting your pet with PurinaCare is the best gift your pet could wag its tail for this Responsible Pet Owners Month.

What Is Stribild?
Stribild is a tablet that contains three drugs used to fight HIV: emtricitabine (Emtriva, see Fact Sheet 420), tenofovir (Viread, see Fact Sheet 419), and elvitegravir (see Fact Sheet 466), plus cobicistat, which boosts blood levels of elvitegravir but does not directly work against HIV. Stribild is the third once-daily tablet that includes a complete antiretroviral regimen. The first two were Complera (see Fact Sheet 471) and Atripla (see see Fact Sheet 472).
The drugs in Stribild are an integrase inhibitor (elvitegravir, 150 mg) paired with a new booster, cobicistat (150 mg.) They are combined with two nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors, or nukes (emtricitabine, 200 mg and tenofovir, 300 mg). These drugs block the reverse transcriptase enzyme. This enzyme changes HIV's genetic material (RNA) into the form of DNA. This has to occur before HIV's genetic code gets inserted into an infected cell's own genetic codes.
When HIV infects a cell, it combines its genetic code into the cell's own code. Elvitegravir blocks this process. When elvitegravir blocks integration, HIV infects a cell but cannot make more copies of itself. Cobicistat is a booster. It increases the blood levels of elvitegravir. It does not directly work against HIV.
Who Should Take Stribild?
Stribild was approved in 2012 as an ARV for adults with HIV infection who have not yet taken any antiretroviral drugs. The FDA is requiring Gilead to study the drug's safety in women and children. People with liver or kidney problems may not be able to take Stribild.
While antiretroviral therapy (ART) is now recommended for all people living with HIV, there are no absolute rules about when to start antiretroviral therapy (ART). You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking ART. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ART. If you take Stribild, you can reduce your viral load to extremely low levels, and increase your CD4 cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
Stribild provides three drugs in one pill. It can be more convenient to use Stribild than some other combinations of drugs. This could mean fewer missed doses and better control of HIV. Stribild can be an effective regimen of ARVs in one pill.
What About Drug Resistance?
Many new copies of HIV are mutations. They are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can keep multiplying even when you are taking an ARV. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Sometimes, if your virus develops resistance to one drug, it will also have resistance to other ARVs. This is called "cross-resistance."
Resistance can develop quickly. It is very important to take ARVs according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
How Is Stribild Taken?
Stribild is taken by mouth as a tablet, with food. The normal adult dose is one tablet, once a day with food. If you miss your dose, you can take Stribild up to 12 hours late. Otherwise, take your next dose at the regular time. Take Stribild and antacids at least 2 hours apart.
What Are the Side Effects?
When you start any ART, you may have temporary side effects such as headaches, high blood pressure, or a general sense of feeling ill. These side effects usually get better or disappear over time.
Tenofovir can cause kidney damage. Creatinine levels should be monitored in people taking tenofovir. Tenofovir can also damage the liver. People taking tenofovir should have their liver health monitored.
Lactic acidosis (see Fact Sheet 556) swelling of the liver have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, including tenofovir, a component of Stribild.
Stribild is not approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HBV and HIV-1 and have discontinued Emtriva or Viread, which are components of Stribild.
pathway, called CYP 3A4.This includes ritonavir, rifampin (used to treat tuberculosis, see Fact Sheet 508), lovastatin, simvastatin, pimozide, sildenafil for pulmonary arterial hypertension, triazolam, oral midazolam, and St. John's wort.
Tenofovir, a component of Stribild, can reduce bone mineral density (see Fact Sheet 557).
The most common side effects of Stribild are the same as with the drugs it contains: elvitegravir (see Fact Sheet 466), emtricitabine (see Fact Sheet 420), tenofovir (Viread, see Fact Sheet 419Fact Sheet 419). They include headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, vivid dreams, anxiety, rash, dizziness, insomnia, and loss of appetite.
If you have had hepatitis B or C, your liver function tests may increase significantly. These should be monitored carefully.
How Does Stribild React With Other Drugs?
Stribild can interact with other drugs or supplements you are taking. These interactions can change the amount of each drug in your bloodstream and cause an under- or overdose. New interactions are constantly being identified. Make sure that your health care provider knows about ALL drugs and supplements you are taking.
As a condition of approval, Gilead will be required to conduct additional studies to help further characterize the drug's safety in women and children, how resistance develops to Stribild, and the possibility of interactions between Stribild and other drugs. Drugs to watch out for include other ARVs, drugs to treat tuberculosis (see Fact Sheet 518), for erectile dysfunction (such as Viagra), for heart rhythm (antiarrhythmics), and for migraine headaches. Interactions are also possible with several antihistamines (allergy medications), sedatives, drugs to lower cholesterol, and anti-fungal drugs.
The herb St. John's Wort (See Fact Sheet 729) lowers the blood levels of some non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Do not take it with Stribild.

We've featured crazy ass Christmas lights on here before, and seeing as it's officially past Thanksgiving, it's time to show them off again.
This Xmas light display, which is in its second year running by a couple named Willy and Deb, has a rotating array of music that's synced to their flashing lights; a technique pioneered by this family back in 2005ish. Watch and enjoy. It runs from 5:30 PM to 12:30 AM Eastern from now to Xmas. [Ustream]

Monica Dadzie, of Kuapa Kokoo posts about courtship traditions amongst cocoa farmers in Ghana:
Here in Ghana Valentines Day was pronounced as National Chocolate Day some years ago – to celebrate Ghana's cocoa industry and encourage people to buy more chocolate made of Ghanaian cocoa. This is fine for people in large cities who have access to chocolate and can afford it – but generally it is beyond the means of cocoa farmers. However Kuapa Kokoo farmers have their own chocolate company – Divine – so in a special position to celebrate National Chocolate Day!
Traditions in love
Most of the time the young men choose their loved ones from nearby villages and the reasons are best known to them. Some of the men arrange with their loved ones and meet either during the day or at night at a place that will be conducive to them to chat and express their love for each other. The place could be a river side, under a tree or any quiet place. Others may visit theirs at their homes.
The ones who visit their loved ones at home at the beginning will stand behind the house and whistle to draw the attention of the lady that he has come around. This is also arranged with the lady and she will know where the whistle is coming from and the one whistling. She will therefore sneak out to meet him. They may hang around the backyard or take a stroll around and chat.
Eventually the parents will get to know of the relationship and if accepted by the family, the man will be going straight to the house to see the lady. It is at this point that both parties will start visiting each others family to help their in-laws; the man will give his in-laws farm produce, meat from his hunting, weed their farms and do other domestic chores that requires physical strength and the lady will visit her in-laws to fetch water and do other household chores for them. Sometimes parents of the lady will ask their daughter to prepare food for the man when he brings food items or works for them. Gradually both will be part of each others family and will be visiting each other as and when they want to.
Courtship for cocoa farmers doesn't involve exchange of cards and flowers, buying of expensive parcels, going to the cinemas, nor considers riches and class. It is all about caring for one another and being each others keeper. The traditional aspect of it is, you do not just care for the one you are in love with but the entire family.
NB – the village this couple come from is called 'Domeabra' – which means 'come here if you love me' – appropriately enough!

In the previous game, you were generally were able to upgrade your inventory and ammo capacities at specific points in the game.
Helping a claptrap in an area usually rewarded you with a backpack upgrade and you could upgrade your ammo capacities at the nearest ammo dump if you have the money.
However so far in Borderlands 2, I haven't found a claptrap that needed rescuing and the ammo dumps only carry spare ammo. I keep running out of inventory space very quickly and am constantly running out of ammo in heavy firefights which is getting irritating. I have plenty of money, but not enough carrying capacity.
At what points am I able to upgrade my inventory capacity and my ammo capacity?

It's a pleasure to join your ranks!
I build in a wide variety of themes, ranging from official ones to fan-introduced ones.
My first LEGO Castle sets were of the pre-2004 Knights' Kingdom sub-theme, with the Bull and Lion factions.
I also happen to have the Knights' Kingdom-themed LEGO Creator PC game.
My favorite Castle sub-theme, however, is the 2007-2009 Fantasy Era one with the Skeletons and Trolls.

Jack Youngblood blasts Urban Meyer for way he exited Florida
Florida has plenty of football legends.
Steve Spurrier, Danny Wuerffel, Emmitt Smith, Wilber Marshall, Fred Taylor, Cris Collinsworth, Lomas Brown, Jack Youngblood and, of course, Tim Tebow, to name a few.

Urban Meyer won two BCS titles coaching the Gators, but the way he left Gainesville rubbed a lot of UF faithful the wrong way, including Youngblood.
Speaking with Orlando Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi on his Open Mike radio show on 740-AM in Orlando, Youngblood blasted Meyer.
"When somebody tells me something to my face, I expect it to be truth," Youngblood told Bianchi. "When it turns out to not be the truth, that doesn't (put him) very high on my Christmas card list."
After the 2009 season, Meyer announced he was taking a leave of absence in December after suffering chest pains and being taken to the hospital after Florida lost the SEC Championship Game to Alabama, 32-13.
But in March, Meyer returned to full-coaching duties, after assistant Steve Addazio served on an interim basis.
But after an 8-5 season, Meyer said he was retiring to spend more time with his family on Dec. 8, 2010. He coached the Gators to a 37-24 win against Penn State in the Jan. 1, 2011, Outback Bowl.
He then took a job as ESPN college football analyst and on Nov. 22, 2011, accepted the head coach position at Ohio State, less than a year from saying, "I've not seen my two girls play high school sports. They're both very talented Division I-A volleyball players, so I missed those four years. I missed two already with one away at college. I can't get that time back."
Youngblood, who played at UF from 1968-70 and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, said Meyer used Tebow during his tenure at Florida, too.
"He said character was the No. 1 thing and the main thing he was recruiting on," Youngblood told Bianchi. "That didn't happen. And then all of the stuff at the end of (his time at Florida), there just was no consistency to me."

When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Meringue hearts
Let this special someone know you've got your eye on them with a cute, delicious, sweet meringue heart. You only need a couple of eggs, and some sugar, and of course red coloring. These are irresistible and will make an everlasting impression (because everyone loves the person that brings sweets, right?).
Honey meat ravioli
This delicious meal is amazingly easy to prepare, as long as you have a pasta machine and ravioli tablet — it's a small grid in which you can prepare ravioli "like a sandwich", then roll out the ready ravioli using a rolling pin. Super easy, and with just very little effort you will end up having a luxurious feast!
Quick cream pie
Somehow I managed to hide mini chocolate muffins in my oven over the weekend and now I'm left with lots of chocolate cake crumbs. I decided to make a quick, and easy dessert, which doesn't look luxurious, but is really tasty, fast and easy to prepare in almost no time. Try on your own, you can use any kind of sweet baked cookies, cakes, etc., that crumbles easily.
Creamy scrambled eggs
I love the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, but I strongly dislike the idea of eating eggs raw, so I hacked a scrambled eggs recipe to be both completely set, creamy, and pack a crunchy punch as an extra. It's so delicious with fresh bread or toast, and the consistency makes it spreadable like a cottage cheese! I come back to this recipe quite often, because it's simple, fast and feels luxurious ;-)
