en | N/A | N/A | On Monday I mentioned that we were going to take the girls to Assateague Island for a quick trip. And by quick, I mean we drove down to Ocean City, MD on Sunday arriving at 4pm and we left MD on Monday at 2pm. It was very quick, but we packed the trip full of fun!
We were out the door at 7:30am for breakfast and heading to Assateague Island. We waited a few minutes for the visitor's center to open, and I'm so glad we did!The center, while not large has a lot of information and some helpful volunteers who guided us in the right direction. They even let Sophie pick out which film to show first!
We entered the national park and drove to the bay side, which has the marsh trails and the quieter waters. We didn't see any horses, but we did find some small shells, a few birds and lots of mosquitoes!
Next we headed over to the ocean side and there we played again in the waves. The sand and the waves are different here on Assateague than in Ocean City and we found some beautiful shells!
On our way out of the park, we finally found some horses!
We had been warned not to get too close, so even though Bella was too excited to stay in the car, she was content to watch the horses up close through her binoculars!
Our last wild horse encounter was after we had exited the park entrance. We were on the side road and suddenly had horses in the road and on either side of the car!
That last picture?The horse came right up to our window!
It was a fantastic trip, and I can safely say that we will be back to visit the horses very, very soon!If you are heading to Assateague Island, or simply have a horse lover – make sure to download my lapbook!It's free for a limited time, so be sure to grab it now!
Bikes, Beaches and Horses…
Lessons from my girls…
I've always wanted to visit that area, that is, after reading Misty of Chicoteague. 🙂 I have a friend who went for the annual round up, and she said that it was absolutely wonderful!I'm going to have to try harder to make this trip work for us after seeing your pictures! |

This is done in the class cpuinfo 8b3fc248b2f0f1873852c97b69f669b5d77cf55e/src/common/cpuinfo/CpuInfo.cpp#L362
Then the scheduler will split the workload in multiple threads as shown inL501
The ExecuteNetwork program (out of the box) does not provide a way to specify which workloads run on which backends. You have to run the complete workload on the same backend. If you choose the CpuAcceleration backend, then ACL will compute single workloads concurrently on multiple cores.
Given that "ExecuteNetwork program (the leftmost one)", I have tried to use TFlite Delegate + benchmark (the rightmost one) right now. (My reference: ARM youtube: [ARM NN Tflite delegate tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NResQ1kbm-944867-7063ab40-d34d-49b2-ac2e-490775c1cb3c.png)
For TFlite Delegate + benchmark, the command I use :
taskset -c 0-3 ./benchmark_model
--graph=/home/shunya/Micro_SD_shunya/hungyang/tflite_design_space/Export/H-768_S-128_L-4_A-8_I-3072.tflite
--warmup_runs=2 --num_threads=4 --num_runs=3
--external_delegate_path="../armnn/build/delegate/libarmnnDelegate.so"
--external_delegate_options="backends:CpuAcc"
Say I have 4 CPU cores. The model is BERT with 4 layers (L=4 in H-768_S-128_L-4_A-8_I-3072.tflite )
I wanna split each 4 layers BERT model into different cores. (i.e. layer1 -> Core1, layer2 -> Core2, and so far... )
Now my question is :
1. How can I assign each layer of my work as one single "workload"?
2. How to assign each workload to its corresponding out of memory
username_0: I‘d just met a critical problem that notion used out more than 21GB of memory which almost caused my Win10 crash. I could not tell more information because the process was killed and I don't know why it happened.

BTW, I found when the tiling window manager mode's on the dragarea disappears. Is there any way to keep both of them?
<issue_comment>username_1: there's a memory leak somewhere, but we still have no idea where. sorry.
@username_0 no - that mode is only meant to be used with tiling window managers where apps are not dragged around the screen or minimised etc. themselves, but are fully controlled by the window manager so the dragarea and buttons were just wasting space. if you want to be able to move the app with the dragarea, don't use rrow optional type in `dataclass` `__post_init__`
I'm unable to find a workaround for the following issue where pyright can't deduce that `self.y` can never be None. I'ty.
class NotWorking:
y:Optional[bool]
self.y = self.y if self.y is not None else bool(self.x)
def get_y(self) -> bool:
return self.y # <---- Expression of type "bool | None" cannot be assigned to return type "bool"
class Working:
def __init__(self, x:int, y:Optional[bool]=None):
self.y = y if y is not None else bool(self.x)
return self.y # <----5/130794731-72b0fe54-c600-41e1-823b-301ef742ff85.png)
VS Code Extension v1.1.163 Pyright doesn't know about `__post_init__` and generally does not make assumptions about call order between methods. Mypy emits the same error here.
The recommended workaround in this case is to add an assert in your `get_y` method.
assert self.y is not None
This assert serves to document your assumption that the instance variable is not `Nonsimilar case?
if self.y is None:
self.y = True
return self.yn't related to `dataclass` specifically. Your second example (with class `Bar`) would also result in the same error if the annotated type of instance variable `y` was `Optional[bool]`.
self.y: Optional[bool] = y if y is not None else bool(self.x)
The reason it happens to work in your example is because you've left `y` unannotated, so its type is inferred from its assigned values. The type checker can determine that you are assigning only a `bool` value to it, so it infers that its type is `bool` with `Bar`, `y` has two assignments. The first assigns a value of type `Optional[bool]`, and the second a type of `bool`, so its inferred type is `Optional[bool]`ype declarations, type inference, and the ways |

It is all over now for this years Tanner and Tauranga Cups. It has been a nail biting regatta with some very close racing. Max Scott sailed brilliantly coming 3rd in the Tanner Cup with only 1 point between him and the top 2! Yesterday he won all 3 races in the Tauranga Cup but alas he finished 4th with only 3pts between him and Seb Menzies who won it. Max also won the throphy for coming 1st in the 1st race of the Tanner Cup.
Lachlan also had a great regatta coming 6th in the Tanner and 5th in the Tauranga winning the Craig Monk trophy for the top sailor over 55kgs.
For Teaghan Denny and Reuben Coxhead it was their first P Class Nationals. Teaghan came 18th in the Tanner Cup and 24th in the Tauranga Cup. Best race was an 11th. Reuben was placed 27th in the Tauranga Cup. His best race was a 10th. Both Teaghan and Reuben are looking forward to next years P Nationals in Evans Bay.
Note from the club manager
Welcome to another New Year and what a mixed start it has been.
Beautiful sunny and warm weather followed by King tides and stormy weather created waves washing over our foreshore at TYPBC and then back to 26/28 degree sunny days, creating quite a contrast. The image of the Kulim Park building immersed in Tauranga Harbour was jaw dropping and perhaps creates a reality check about what the future weather changes might do to our coastal regions. The bonus for me is that the water is just the perfect temperature for me.
Our daughter had some visitors over from Seattle in America over Christmas. They headed off on a road trip around central and upper north island with the visitors blown away by the beauty around each corner. This does just remind us how lucky we are.
I suspect a lot of you have had the chance or will be to heading off in you boats where you too get to be able to enjoy the beauty of our large coastline.
As you are all aware Steve Patton finished as our Function Manager at the end of the Christmas break and I would now like to announce Jo West as our new Function Manager. Jo has been the Functions Assistant for a number of years and last year was acting Manager whilst Steve was on leave. Jo also took up the challenge of marketing The Yacht Club as a Function venue, which has seen the Facebook page established and regularly updated, will see a new website in the new year specifically for The Yacht Club Function Centre.She has a lot of plans she wants to implement over the next 12 months as well as continuing to do the marketing, newsletter and functions. Very exciting times.
Kirsten returns from a trip home to Canada on Sunday, so coaching will be back in full swing again after that. We would also like to welcome Niamh Dillon who has accepted a fixed term role as our Race Coach and assisting Kirsten with the paper work. Niamh has great skills as a coach, is liked by the young sailors and luckily for us is taking a year out after finishing school. It is great that we can employ one of our own in this role. She will be busy with the race coaching, BoPSAT, school holiday programmes and the 2 school groups that have requested sailing this next term.
Happy 2018 to you all! We are open and running like usual so make sure you give us a call to book in your functions. As you are all aware at the end of last year Steve decided it was his time to leave us and start spending time doing more of the things he enjoys or should I say more jobs his wife wants done :)
Jo has been appointed Functions Manager and is looking forward to a busy year ahead with functions. </s> Find more information about
(1882–1940), novelist and physician. Born in Brünn (Brno), Moravia, Ernst Weiss studied medicine in Prague and Vienna, traveled to the Far East as a ship’s doctor, and became a surgeon in a Vienna hospital. He was friendly with Franz Kafka, who accompanied him and Weiss’s long-term partner, the actress Rahel Sanzara (Johanna Bleschke; 1894–1936), on holiday in Denmark in summer 1914. Weiss and Kafka later quarreled. From 1921 to 1933, Weiss lived in Berlin. The Nazis’ seizure of power drove him into exile in Paris, where he committed suicide as German troops approached the city.
Deep pessimism is apparent from Weiss’s first novel, Die Galeere (The Galley; 1913), whose protagonist, Erik Gyldendal, an ambitious young medical researcher in Vienna with a Swedish father and a Jewish mother, experiences a conflict between his ideal of scientific objectivity and the emotional turmoil connected to his dominating mother; the character’s complicated situation leads to a series of unsuccessful relationships with women.
Weiss’s later novels, calmly and incisively written, are often first-person narratives whose authors review their own lives after undergoing a spiritual crisis. The protagonists are often estranged from, or in conflict with, their parents. The heroes may be psychologically isolated, as in the case of the protagonist of Georg Letham, Arzt und Mörder (Georg Letham, Physician and Murderer; 1931), who kills his wife because he cannot stand her devotion; or insecure, as is the schoolboy hero of Boëtius von Orlamünde (1928; reissued as Der Aristokrat [The Aristocrat]; 1931), who keeps having to prove his courage. The main characters are usually doctors, as in Der arme Verschwender (The Poor Spendthrift; 1936) and Der Verführer (The Tempter; 1938), allowing Weiss to explore the complex relations between humanity, scientific detachment, and hunger for power.
An outstanding novel written in exile, Ich—der Augenzeuge (I—the Eyewitness), was completed in 1939, but published (as Der Augenzeuge) only in 1963. This book tells the story of a physician (the narrator) who in 1917 is attached to the military hospital at Pasewalk in northern Germany. There, a soldier, suffering from hysterical |

Only for rare conditions has DNA sequence been related to disease. Where common diseases are concerned, the failure to account for the genetic variation of complex traits in terms of abnormal alleles is widely acknowledged.11 This is the problem of missing heritability.
Then there is the phenomenon of genomic instability induced by ionizing radiation. The default assumption of radiobiology is that if a cell with damage to its DNA survives cell division, damage will be stably replicated in all subsequent generations. A 1992 experiment showed that, in some cases, cells that survive radiation exposure become unstable and acquire damage spontaneously in subsequent generations.12 Genomic instability was first observed in 1976 by the Swedish geneticist K. G. Lüning.13 He exposed male mice (F0) to 239Pu and scored their offspring (F1) for intra-uterine death, caused by a dominant lethal mutation. Surviving male offspring, however, also produced intra-uterine death in their offspring (F2). A dominant lethal mutation had skipped a generation.
Genomic instability has been observed for several phenotypic endpoints and is inducible by several environmental agents in addition to radiation.16 It is a real biological phenomenon, not an experimental artifact. Darwin recognized that neither the fossil record nor the evidence from extant organisms supported a gradual view of evolution.17 Many distinguished biologists, including Thomas Huxley, William Bateson, Hugo de Vries, Richard Goldschmidt, and Stephen Jay Gould, have questioned gradualism. More recently, Denis Noble has questioned the modern synthesis of evolution.18 There is important experimental evidence that is inconsistent with the principles underpinning the machine model of the cell.19
A new approach is required.
Evolution demonstrates the reverse. Organisms evolve to become more ordered and complex, rather than less. Erwin Schrödinger thus suggested that life feeds on negative entropy by exporting entropy to its environment.22 In extending this idea, Roger Penrose argued that high-energy solar photons are a form of low-entropy energy. Life degrades them into low-energy, high-entropy photons that are radiated back to space at night.23 But empirical evidence shows that the more mature an ecosystem, the lower its black body temperature.24 The physicist Arto Annila, focusing on energy carriers, rather than energy itself, has considered systems open to energy exchanges with their surroundings and with chemically-interacting components.25 In energy-rich surroundings, as free energy is consumed and entropy increases, the system evolves towards diversity via its chemical reactions, occupying higher and higher energy levels. Increasingly complex chemical compounds are formed as the kinetics of the chemical reactions move the system to more probable states.26 Increasing entropy does not inevitably lead to increasing disorder. In 1900, Henri Bénard demonstrated what is now called Rayleigh–Bénard convection, a clear empirical demonstration of increased entropy appearing as order in the form of structured Bénard cells.27 Increased entropy and disorder need not be synonymous. Evolution and the second law are compatible. Nature has long been known to follow Pierre Louis Maupertuis’s principle of least action.28 In the context of energy consumption, this means that disequilibria in free energy will be leveled as efficiently as local conditions allow.29 In evolutionary terms, any improvement to an organism’s metabolic efficiency will be advantageous, and if transmitted to the next generation will lead to the evolution of increasingly more efficient organisms.30 Efficiency of energy transduction then is the basis for natural selection, not genetic diversity.
This has important implications for evolution. The Unit of Inheritance
The gene is not what regulates the cell, it is not responsible for the organism’s phenotype, and it is not Mendel’s unit of inheritance. What role, then, does it play?36
DNA is essential to the functioning of the cell. A great many resources are devoted to maintaining its integrity. DNA serves as an inert database to enable the cell to provide its progeny with necessary peptides. These are the starting materials that when folded and activated become the cell’s work horses.37 Although the peptides are intermediates between messenger RNA (mRNA) and the protein, Crick paid them scant attention.38 Anfinsen confirmed Crick’s sequence hypothesis, but the folding process in his experiments was far too slow to be the mechanism operating in the cell.39 What Anfinsen did show is that the proteins acquire information when the peptide folds. The folding process consumes free energy. The information measures the entropy of the process and it is not necessarily related to the information in the DNA.
John Ellis has long urged protein chemists to conduct their experiments under conditions closer to those prevailing in the cell.40 This is, of course, what the great Hans Krebs argued as early as 1962.41 Anfinsen’s experiments could not have been representative of what was taking place in the cell. Little progress in elucidating the structure of proteins in the cellular environment has been made.42 Genomic Instability
James Shapiro, a student of McClintock, has also argued the case for the cell being able to modify its genome, at all scales, from point mutations to major chromosomal rearrangements and whole genome duplications.44 Suppose that as a result of cellular stress a specific protein cannot function within its required range. The attractor collapses and the system makes an arbitrary transition to a variant attractor. Because of the high dimensionality of the system, this phenotypic transition is irreversible. Once displaced from its initial attractor, the new phenotype is more prone to attractor collapse and, thus, further phenotypic transitions.45 Genomic instability is irreversible. In germ cells, it can be transmitted to future generations; in somatic cells, it is capable of inducing the same effects as mutations. The cell regulates itself, often by acting on its own DNA. This regulation represents a violation of the central dogma.46 Circular causality is an essential feature of a living organism and is one of the features that distinguish what is alive from what is not.47
Very little is known about the structure of proteins in the crowded environment of the cytoplasm.52 Two processes must be involved: self-organization and computation. Self-organization occurs when the entropy generated by free energy dissipation appears as order rather than disorder. How a system behaves in this respect depends on context. Consider the flocking of birds. Here, a large numbers of birds behave in an orchestrated way. Flocking can be described from the outside by the specific rules of engagement followed by each individual. It is doubtful that any of the birds are calculating their position by an appeal to external rules of engagement. In all probability, adopting a specific position relative to other birds is the most energy-efficient way to fly. The birds are slip streaming. Either these rules, or the non-linear dynamics of the system, create order out of potential disorder.53 Similarly, one can interpret the protein interaction maps that have been constructed from cell lysates as systems in which proteins behave according to a set of rules.54
Is there an empirical test to discriminate unequivocally between the dynamic and machine cell models? The answer is probably not. However, so far it has not proved possible to explain genomic instability in terms of molecular genetics; inheritance of genomic instability is non-Mendelian.62 This is a strong argument against the machine cell model. Malignant tissue exhibits both genomic instability and mutations.63 The same is true of cells in atherosclerotic tissue.64 Disease endpoints provide few clues about their origins. On the other hand, a number of hereditary conditions associated with radiation exposure can definitely be attributed to mutations.65 Radiation would appear capable of damaging cells by inducing both genomic instability and mutations. In 1974, Richard Lewontin pointed to a paradox that has been inherent in experimental genetics since Mendel’s time: in terms of traits, what is interesting is not measurable, and what is measurable is not interesting.66 Genetics is based on measurements of well-defined traits, like flower color, but geneticists have tended to ignore more complex traits, such as those emerging from several interacting proteins. Is the success of molecular genetics based on an unwarranted generalization of a series of special cases?
Genomic instability is induced by radiation much more effectively than mutations, and at much lower doses.67 An enzyme is not an ordinary chemical, Rosen correctly observed.68 Much of the structure of a protein forms a scaffold, which holds a few critical amino acids in a specific formation. Most amino acid substitutions in the scaffold are unlikely to affect the protein’s activity. The cell is refractory to mutations. Suppose that a gene codes for a specific peptide; the peptide then folds to a protein governing a particular trait. A mutation rendering the protein inactive, the mutation and the trait find themselves associated, but not necessarily causally. Consider again Mendel’s pea plants. In the purple-flowered variety, a transcription factor switches on the expression of anthrocyanin. A single base substitution that renders the transcription factor inactive produces the white-flowered variety.69 All that can be said is that that protein no longer has the information necessary to induce the color. Diseases such as cancer, schizophrenia, and type II diabetes are usually regarded as due either to environmental causes or faulty genes. If they are heritable, the assumption is that they are genetic. Since 2001, with the completion of the sequencing of the human genome, it has been possible to test the latter hypothesis. It has comprehensively failed. Even before 2001, identical twin studies showed that common cancers have a minimal genetic component.70 More recently, the results of a very large study of schizophrenia patients demonstrated that, at best, less than four per cent of the disease risk is genetic.71 Kenneth Kendler, reviewing thirty years of research, has concluded that “efforts to ground a categorical biomedical model of schizophrenia in Mendelian genetics have failed.”72
If the cell is treated as a complex system with a quasi-stable phenotype, it is clear that genomic instability and not genetic change underpins most environmentally induced disease. Treating it as genetic will not help to develop the “rational strategies for minimizing or preventing disease phenotypes altogether” that Francis Collins predicted.73 The Origin of Life
Simply encoding peptide sequences in DNA would not have been enough to bring about such a profound property. Neurological activity is a product of protein chemistry. It is notable that all life forms can be rendered unconscious by the same anesthetics that work on humans.84 Life Without Genes
The evolution of function, according to the modern evolutionary synthesis, has been controversial. Richard Dawkins has argued that no matter how improbable a trait, there are gradual changes leading up to it.87 In the dynamical model, gradualism is not a constraint. Genomic instability is a process in which the cell can experiment with diverse traits already inherent in its peptides, and which can be modified by spontaneous mutation as well as by the cellular phenotype. Natural selection is based on the ability of an organism to extract free energy from its environment. An acquired ability to detect light or sound will preferentially be passed to future generations if these properties increase how efficiently energy is extracted. Thus, a genomically-unstable organism can improve an imperfect function by seeking variant protein chemistry within its own state space. The Kashiwagi experiment and the long term culture of E. coli provide evidence that this is so. Since the publication of On the Origin of Species, many distinguished biologists have proposed mechanisms for non-gradual evolution. Gould and Niles Eldredge have proposed that evolution is characterized by long periods of equilibrium punctuated by relatively short periods of rapid phenotypic change.88 Gould was influenced by the discovery of a diverse range of fossil forms in the Burgess Shale in Canada, formed some 505 million years ago in the Cambrian period.89 Some of the basic forms that exist today, such as bilateralia, are present in those fossils; what is more, the Burgess Shale preserved the fossils of soft-bodied organisms as well.
Punctuations in the fossil record might represent periods of genomic instability initiated by stress on an organism poorly adapted to a changing environment. The organism might have lost a nutrient source, the environment may have changed for the worse, or a new predator may have appeared. Genomic instability in the punctuation phase of an organism’s evolution could thus be the basis of speciation. Development has traditionally been explained as the expression of specific genes that have acquired positional information. The origin of this information is not completely clear, but may be related to gradients of certain chemical morphogens. Morphogen concentrations in the cell switch the differentiation processes on or off, and ultimately give rise to the many different cell types. In the dynamical cell model, development is regulated by cellular phenotypes. Alan Turing outlined the mathematical basis for development through self-organization in terms of a reaction–diffusion model.90 In Turing’s model, cells release ligands, or morphogens, that bind to receptors on other cells, in order to enhance or repress their own release.91 Testing this model has proved difficult. Little is known of the morphogens involved. But it has been verified in an artificial cell system comprised of emulsion droplets that represent cells.92
Evolution is often seen as a struggle for survival among species. Darwin’s third chapter in the Origin is, after all, entitled “Struggle for Existence.”93 But if a stable ecosystem is an attractor state, as I would propose, predation cannot be on the only guarantor of its stability.94 A steady state between competitive and cooperative behavior is inescapable. Cooperation in nature is sometimes called symbiosis. African acacias, for example, are able to produce tannin. Tannin is toxic to mammals such as kudus and giraffes. Overgrazed acacia trees release ethylene, a plant hormone that stimulates trees downwind to produce protective tannin.95 The South African bird, the honeyguide, seems to cooperate with other species by showing them the location of bee colonies. Once the nest is broken open and the honey retrieved, the honeyguide can feed on the exposed beeswax. Beeswax is a potent free energy source, but honeyguides are almost unique in being able to metabolize it. According to Claire Spottiswoode, the honeyguide is also a highly virulent brood parasite.96 Honeyguide chicks are reared by a species that neither cooperates with partners nor consumes beeswax. Spottiswoode questions whether the chicks’ extreme violence best serves their interests. Perhaps the cooperative behavior that makes beeswax available in the ecosystem was a relatively late evolutionary development. The ability to utilize beeswax may have been an even later development. Not every trait necessarily has an explanation in terms of evolutionary theory or the struggle for existence. |

CribbleBart will come with a 3-inch x 3-inches (5 x 5 centimeters) cribbage bag with a soft rubber foot and a small wooden tray with a lid, which can hold up to 20 cribbage items.
It will also come with the CribBart Pro and a CribCart.
CubicleBart is a simple, yet stylish, cribbage design.
It has the same design elements found on Cribbooms, but with a more modern feel.
The CribCab is the same size as a regular cubicle and has two compartments.
The top compartment holds a single item and can be used for a full bag, a small pack, or an entire box.
There’s a small plastic shelf in the bottom compartment for storing a small tray.
The tray also can hold diapers or wipes.
The top compartment also has a large zipperThe bag has a simple design with a rounded bottom for easy opening.
The original CribBOOM was a simple cribbage package with a small storage space and a plastic tray that was used to hold a small box of diapers, wipes, and other items.
The new CIBBOT has a similar design to the cribbed version of CribMoo, but has a different design for the top compartment, which also has an opening to hold diapers and other products.
The cribbing section of CIBBCom is similar to the cubbie section of the original BOB, but its a bit smaller.
The BOB’s top section has an “open” opening, while CIBBOOM has a “closed” opening.
CUB has been designed to fit small items that are designed to last a long time and will also be a great way to store smaller items like baby wipes.
CIBUB has an open top section and an open bottom section, with a rubber foot on both sides of the bag. |

en | N/A | N/A | As a buyer, one way to sometimes get a lower price is to find a lesser quality house. Just as not all peaches are created equal, neither are all properties. Ripe, round peaches with a fresh aroma and a perfect skin (no bruises) will command top dollar. Houses that are located in desirable neighborhoods, have a view, are close to an amenity such as a golf course or lake, and show well likewise command top dollar. On the other hand, properties that are rundown and in less desired neighborhoods can’t command that high price.
All of this is to say that if you are buying a “bruised” property, youthan if you are buying a property perfect in all aspects. This holds true regardless of the market conditions or the seller’s motivation.
It does not mean that a great house in a great location will always sell for a great price. It just means that, in any given market, such a house should bring top dollar and sell faster than a house in a lesser neighbor hood that doesn’t show nearly as well.
If you determine that the house you arc buying (or selling) is a real peach, then for any given market you should expect there will be more and better offers. If, on the other hand, the house needs paint and clean up (or more serious rehabilitation), the neighbor hood is a dump, and the house sticks right out on a corner lot between two heavily traveled streets, then, buying or selling, expect fewer offers at lower prices.
Of course, if you’re the buyer and you get a “steal” on a ragged- looking house, just remember that you’ll need to fix it up. But at least you’ll be in a home. |

en | N/A | N/A | me are deadly at time. (Psalm 116:3-4, Psalm 116:8, Psalm 116:15)
“rd’s sight.” (Psalm 116:15, CSB)
You know what happens when you call out? God is listening. But God does more than listens. He acts” (Psalm 116:5, CSB)
God acts on my behalf. For His children, God is gracious, righteous, and compassionate. He will lead me in the right direction, He will treat me better than I deserve, and He will show compassion for my circumstance. When God acts, when He answers my prayers, He will answer in a way that He thinks is best. That may be hard for some Christians to understand. When God answers prayer, He may not answer it in a way that you and I may want. Instead, He answers in a way that He feels is best for you and me.
” (Psalm 116:6, CSB)
One of the reasons that we may not understand why God answers the way He does is because He is guarding me.
Divine help comes in the context of human pain. The question is not if we will have crises. The question is how we will respond to them. We can live in denial. We can rationalize our situation, or we can medicate ourselves against the reality. The psalmist’s response, however, is to face it squarely and then turn to the only one who can help him, the living God. We too must make the same response.27–8, CSB)
I REACT TO GOD’S GOODNESS
FOUR REACTIONS TO GOD’S GOODNESS
1. I walk with God as I live life (Psalm 116:9)
2. I trust God even when things are tough (Psalm 116:10)
“I believed, even when I said, “I am severely oppressed.”” (Psalm 116:10, CSB)
I go a difficult time and I remember that God has been good to me. But it is still tough. Do I panic and run away from God? No. I may get anxious, but that when I trust God more.
I am anxious, I cry out to God. Guess what, He provides the peace that I need. When that happens, do you ask the question like this psalmist?
4. I thank God to show my appreciation (Psalm 116:12)land, now with the Lord, says: .”4, HCSB)
The psalmist can’t possibly repay God enough for what God has done. Yet, He can thank Him. Here, the psalmist reveals four different ways he can thank the Lord. I believe that when we come to any kind of difficult circumstance, we can also thank God for what He has done in our lives.
” (Psalm 116:13, HCSB)
Did you know that this is what the Lord’s Supper is all about? It is communion with God. It is simply spending time with God and thanking Him for His goodness in my life. As a matter of fact, this Psalm is one of the “Hillel” psalms – a group of psalms that would have been sung during the Passover meal that Jesus celebrated when He established the Lord’s Supper. He spent time thanking God throughout that special meal.
You know that when we celebrate Thanksgiving, we spend time with other people. We come together to play games, watch some football or a parade, and then we sit down to eat a Thanksgiving meal.
2. Keep my promises to God (Psalm 116:14)

en | N/A | N/A | This is the story of how I got to know Advent of Code, how I gradually got sucked into the spirit of it, and how I'm getting up waaayy too early and loving it!Competitive…Who?Me?
Once upon a time (June 5, 2019), there was a lady (me) who got invited to a mysterious BBQ at her Unit Manager's place (Serge). She was curious and also a little bit scared, thinking: "what?BBQ at a manager's home?". The moment she stepped into the house, there was a force, a.k.a. the smell of the BBQ, which pulled her into the back garden. She stood in a group of people whom she had never met before but she had to pretend to be cool. Gradually she started to be herself with some help from alcohol and she noticed one man sitting in the middle of the crowd. Another strange force, which was not the BBQ, dragged her close to that man and THE conversation started. He, Marcus Martina, who ended on 2nd place of "some kind of competition" in 2018, told her his experience during the competition with a shine in his eyes and a bit of self-pity for falling only 1 point behind the first place. But there were three words he kept repeating all the time during this conversation: "Advent of Code". Finally, the lady felt she had to ask THE question: "what is Advent of Code actually?
So, November 28 (or 29) 2019, Marcus all of a sudden asked me: "Are you going to join Advent of Code this year?". Since it had been a few months since our conversation I had to take a moment to process this question and remember what Advent of Code was again. Then the whole picture of BBQ at Serge's home appeared in my mind. "Ah!Is that the competition you mentioned at the BBQ?". "What?BBQ?AoC?". I saw Marcus get really confused. "You mentioned it to me there. Do you still remember?You told me you were 2nd and you got up at 5.30 AM for the puzzles". Then the confused look disappeared and he replied with excitement: "Yes. That's the one!". After looking at the puzzles for 2018 and the enthusiasm spread in the "#codechallenges" Slack channel, I decided to sign up and join the leaderboard!But I told myself I WILL NOT GET UP BEFORE 6!
On the 1st of December the AoC started and day 1 was on Sunday. I got up on my normal weekend time and slowly opened my laptop with eyes still half open, half closed. I mean, who gets up early at a weekend for puzzles, at least not me for sure. Then my boyfriend asked me a good question: "which place do you want to be in the end?". After analyzing the leaderboard from last year, I decided: "Around no. 5 would be nice but for sure not below 10". I kept this attitude for, hmmm…1 or 2 days. Then something happened!
On day 3, Tuesday, after I finished my routine: got up around 7:30 AM, solved the puzzle and looked at the leaderboard, I was no longer in 5th place any more!WHO WHO WHO took my place?Then this name, so sharp and obvious on the board, which caught all my attention: "Vincent Huiberts". A colleague from my business unit, XSD!
On day 4, Wednesday, I got up slightly earlier than normal, around 7:15 AM. Instead of starting puzzling, I opened the leaderboard. "Oh my god, so many gold stars already and one of them is from Vincent", I screamed in my mind. Damn!I'm falling more behind. I had to share my disappointment with somebody. Who?Let me share it with my biggest competitor Vincent, and we had an early morning chat again. But I got a really important clue during the chat: he always starts at 6:37 AM because that is when his train departs. OK, I need to change my strategy: I need to wake up early!But how early?At the end of the day when I went to bed, I kept changing my alarm time up and down, caught between the desire to win, and the desire to sleep: I ended up setting it to "5:55 AM". My boyfriend: "Really?Are you serious?
On day 5, Thursday, the puzzle of that day had a super long text. Maybe it was not too long for everybody, but for me it was long!After reading back and forwards a couple of times, I somehow still could not get what the problem was. And 6:37 AM was approaching!After some struggle to understand the text, creating a solution and debugging my code, finally a gold star!But where is Vincent?(keep refreshing the leaderboard..) Ah, Vincent!And the score difference got 7 points less!But still 6 points to go!
Then today, Day 6!
Finally 3..2..1…Here we go!A short text!My chance came!After around 37 minutes, a gold star and Vincent was just on the train!Woohoo!
And my boyfriend got out of bed, laughed at me, shook his head and quietly said "Geek". It was just 6.37 AM so I decided to fall asleep again. I knew it was difficult to sleep again after such mental work but I managed, like I always do. When I opened my eyes again, I saw a message from Marcus "you moved (back) from 6th to 5th place". What?I opened the leaderboard page again and I indeed saw myself on 5th!But Vincent was only 1 point behind me. So what should I do?Get up early again tomorrow: but tomorrow it's weekend!I thought I will never be crazy to get up early in the morning before 6 AM to solve the puzzle and I also thought I will never get up early in the weekend for the puzzle either. However my 5th place is still in danger. Never mind…. I WILL GET UP AT 5.55 AM THIS WEEKEND FOR AoC!
That is my story about AoC so far. I am addicted and it makes me suffer from getting up early. But I love it!It is funny to look back how I changed my attitude from "It would be nice to be around 5" to "I just want to get my no.5 back" and from "I will never get up before 6" to "I will get up at 5.55 AM at a weekend". Probably one day no.5 will be no.? |

I am at the range, and look at a Berertta, which seems to have almost no slide on top.
Recently I have read the reviews of the CT Brian "Sidewinder" and Mr. Tussey's "Stealth", which has had bits of the slide removed. Someone does "Browning cuts" on a 1911, which seems to be removing metal from the front sides of the slide.
I have seen many pictures of slides with holes for port venting.
SO- are there any rules of thumb about how much metal can be removed from a slide, and where?

</s> MolecuClinical Perspective
Background—Mutations in the genes encoding forunderlie ADH. Nevertheless, a proportion of individuals who exhibit the ADH phenotype do not carry mutations in any of these 3 genes. Estimates of the percentage of such cases among the ADH phenotype vary widely. We therefore investigated a large pediatric population with an unequivocal ADH phenotype to assess the molecular basis of hereditary hypercholesterolemia and to define the percentage of individuals with unexplained dyslipidemia.
Conclusion—In the vast majority of children with an ADH phenotype, a causative mutation can be identified, strongly suggesting that most of the large-effect genes underlying ADH are known to dateommonly referred to as familial hypercholesterolemia, is clinicallyfrom birth on, enhanced atherosclerosis progression, and premature cardiovascular events.1,2 Early diagnosis and treatment of ADH are pivotal because therapy with lipid-lowering agents strongly decreases the risk for such events.3
The elevated LDL-C levels in ADH are caused by impaired uptake of LDL particles by the LDL receptor (LDLR).4 Currently, mutations in 3 genes can be held responsible for such impaired LDL particle uptake and consequently for the ADH phenotype. In fact LDLR gene itself, accounting for the majority of ADH cases.5 Mutations in the gene encoding for apolipoprotein B (APOB), the structural protein of the LDL particle that is the ligand for the LDLR, are found in a small minority of cases.6 Recently, even more rarea protein that promotes LDLR degradation, have also been found to underlie the ADH phenotype.7
To resolve this issue, we took 2 steps. First, we set out to assess the molecular basis of ADH in children and not in adults. Children are subject to fewer environmental influences in terms of their lipoprotein metabolism, and an unequivocal diagnosis of ADH is easier to establish. Second, we used advanced techniques for mutation detection, including sequencing of codons and splice sites, as well as a specific technique for detecting large gene rearrangements. Here, we present our results.
All children 4 to 18 years of age who visited the pediatric lipid clinic at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam between July 1989 and January 2008 whose relevant laboratory and DNA data were complete were potentially eligible. These children, from various regions in the Netherlands, were referred to the outpatient lipid clinic because of dyslipidemia, and we were asked to establish the underlying cause of this disorder. We collected the medical history of the patient and went to great lengths to meticulously list the presence of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease in as many family members as possible. Furthermore, we performed a physical examination and gathered anthropomorphic data. In addition, we analyzed fasting blood samples for lipid profile and thyroid, liver, and renal function. From this population, we selected only patients with a clear clinical phenotype of ADH. This was defined as an LDL-C level >95th percentile for age and gender13 and autosomal dominant inheritance pattern of hypercholesterolemia, ie, at least 1 biological parent on treatment for hypercholesterolemia and a family history Because physical symptoms are rare in children, we did not consider this an inclusion criterion. Exclusion criteria were thyroid dysfunction, nephrotic syndrome, autoimmune disease, liver disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, and obesity.14 For this study, we chose a body mass index (BMI) cutoff at the 75th percentile for age and gender15 because it has recently been shown that at a BMI at or above the 80th percentile, significant abnormalities in cholesterol levels begin to occur in children.14
Furthermore, we excluded children who were referred to the lipid clinic through the national cascade screening program and children from families with a known molecular diagnosis. If >1 child from the same family was eligible, we selected the first child in alphabetical order by first name.
Genomic DNA was prepared from Mutation identification in the LDLR and APOB genes was performed by direct Sanger sequencing; identification of large rearrangements in the LDLR gene was done by multiplex ligation-dependent probe technique as described previously in more detail.17 Sequence anaTerminator ABI Prism KProducts of sequence reactions were run on a Genetic Analyzer 3730 (Applied Biosystems), and sequence data were analyzed by the use |

en | N/A | N/A | 1964 was the first year that the Plymouth Barracuda was offered, and coincidentally, this one is a 1964 Plymouth Barracuda. I’ve talked about boxes being checked before, and sorry to have to repeat myself, but, this car checks at least a couple of boxes: it’s a 4-speed car with a 273 V8! $2,700 and there is a Buy It Now price of $4,500! I don’t know about anyone else, but I think that’s a great price for a V8 4-speed car.
The fine folks at Hagerty seem to agree with me, they list a 1964 Plymouth Barracuda in #4 “fair” condition as being worth, can this be correct? $9,100!? More than twice the asking price of this car?! Car-flippers, here ya go, don’t say that we never gave you any killer finds here!
This car has more options than normal on any ’64 Barracuda that I’ve seen for sale in a while. The seller says that this car has “factory original 4 speed, factory bucket seats, factory optional disc brakes, 273 V8 engine, factory Formula S mag wheels.” Do some work on this car and Hagerty lists a #3 “good” car as being worth $14,000! And, there is some work to do on this one. The passenger rear floor will need to be patched or replaced, and there may possibly be some other bodywork but they say that it has minimal rust. This was originally a white car so, as always, I’d personally change it back to that color, but that’s just me.
The interior will consume some of your hard-earned money and a few weekends, too. But, come on, you’re already $10,000 ahead on this one! The headliner looks like it’s kaput, but the rear seat backs look good. Hey, anything will help. The carpeted rear cargo area looks good but there’s a lot of stuff and parts and things back there so it’s hard to tell. And, the photos aren’t the best, as you can tell, so it’s hard to really see any detail.
Here’s a freshly-rebuilt 273 V8 with 180 hp that’s just relying on that invisible force that we all know and love (gravity) to hold it in place; it’s not installed, it’s basically just being stored there. That would come out under my watch while the car is at the paint shop being turned back into a factory-white beauty. The seller is including a “new clutch/ new pressure plate/ new aluminum radiator, belts, hoses, etc.” This seems like a great project car and one that you wouldn’t be upside down on, price-wise, once you were done with it if you did the majority of the work yourself. Have any of you restored a first-generation Barracuda? What do you think of the price of this car?
Argggggghhhh ! My first car was a 65 Cuda, same color and motor as this one. I want this so bad but I’d have to sleep in it.
If only I had room in the garage! I love all the early Baracuda’s, this looks like an easy project. Its Not too far away but the wife would kill me if I brought another one home.
This is one cool car~ even like the old paint. I noticed it has later model calipers!
These wheels came much later right? Factory was hubcaps w fake lug nuts on them?
I always wondered about Hagerty’s vehicle values being a bit on the high side….
Could that be because they base the value on high end auction prices to justify higher insurance premimuns?
Wonder about no pictures of the right front of the car (left front pic seems to show a different color fender on that side or one that’s been repaired) and left front wheel that doesn’t seem to be centered in the wheel well. As you mentioned seems to be very fairly priced if it’s all as described but the questionable mechanicals (“rebuiltnote it’s not listed as the original engine) and lack of good underneath pics would make me wonder just a bit. If it’s solid and the mechanicals are all in good shape then it’s a bargain but ……..
Orange LA engine, disk brakes of questionable lineage, front seat covers badly replaced, 1966 ‘cuda back seat, spray bombed black instruments, and whenever it was painted they took the “Valiant” badge off the back panel – this poor thing’s been whooped. The ’70’s small bolt pattern Ralley’s are worth a couple hundred toward what it will take to get it running. I have one, and this is too much money for a ’64 in this condition.
Uh, guys, the problem isn’t with Hagerty. Read the condition descriptions. This car is nowhere NEAR a #4 (fair condition) car.
This is a project car, and it may well be that $4500 is all the money and more for this one.
Correct – 1970-71 wheels – 1972 has a different 1 year only center for these small bolt pattern wheels if they are small bolt pattern wheels – correct late disk brake set up – they would offer disks latter in 1965 – they would be the 4 piston type. The brake booster bracket on the fire wall is also late model.
Incorrect on the factory caps – they had chrome wheels nuts that came through the cap…13″‘s at first then the 14″ which are the harder to find.
Kinda on the fence with out better pictures of what cha got…nice grill…since some assembly required thinking better buy at $2500….show us what you got !
I looked at one of these brand new back in the day. My girlfriend’s father told me that his daughter would not go out with me if I had one of those things that had fold down seats. I bought a Corvair. I married his daughter anyway (and stayed married to her for 40 years till she passed away). If that Corvair could talk…..
Pop the caps off the upper sear pivots, pry them off the lower seat posts, and a Corvair bucket reclines just fine. Or maybe that’s what you were trying to say?
White would be nice, but it looks likehte blue was done thoughtfully. Trim at door tops, engine compartment. Would want to see the details of the rest of the paint before committing to go back to white. How do we know for sure it was white? The listing pics have a very “aged” looking fender tag. No white showing in any of the pics. Rallyes aren’t original to the car. Nice car, though. |

en | N/A | N/A | Problems in Dubia roach breeding colonies are common, but bad outcomes are rarely inevitable. For most of the common issues at-home Dubia breeders face with their roaches, there are usually easy fixes.
In fact, there are simple solutions to almost all Dubia roach breeding problems, whether common or not. Successfully raising healthy and productive Dubia roaches is largely a matter of preventing small problems from occurring, identifying and fixing problems that do occur, and always acting quickly.
You can skip straight to troubleshooting by selecting a problem category link from the list below. The next few paragraphs are introductory and provide background information.
Slow colony or nymph growth
This guide describes how to identify, fix, and – as much as possible – prevent problems in Dubia roach breeding colonies. It is based on the entirety of our breeding experience with respect to hurdles and roadblocks, and we earned most of our knowledge the hard way.
In the beginning, we searched everywhere for Dubia roach breeding information. We looked online, at our public library, and at our local university library. We gathered and studied all the literature we could find. But practical information was hard to come by. We spent a lot of time piecing together fragments of data from lots of sources before we had anything we could put to use, and even then it took actual experience before we knew what to make of most of it. What we really needed back then was a single source of information that we could reference when we needed. Something like, say, this troubleshooting guide.
Big problems occur in Dubia roach breeding colonies, but they are not the norm. Small ones are. However, small problems have a habit of becoming big ones if you don’t deal with them quickly and correctly. The first lesson is that you must deal with small problems as they arise. It is unwise to let them fester. Speed is essential for easy fixes with minimal damage. Avoid procrastination. When you procrastinate, small, common problems may become big, unruly ones.
We’ve been breeding Dubia roaches for a while, and we’re still learning what we can get away with, so to speak, and what we can’t. Tropical insects are delicate. They have very specific requirements that we have to work hard to meet in North America. And it isn’t always possible to meet them all. Food, temperature, light cycles, humidity, air circulation, population – these are all factors that largely regulate themselves in the wild. In captivity, however, the roaches rely on us to provide these things for them. When one or more are not to their liking, they can neither escape nor complain. They just react.
The bottom line is that until you have a good sense of what’s going on with your roaches, always address problems with urgency. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. When you get a good amount of experience, you’ll have a sense of what you can and can’t put off until tomorrow…but you’ll probably not want to because you’ll know firsthand how dangerous that can be.
If you need reasons why this is true, consider that it’s wet, warm, and dark inside your colony. This is ideal for the rapid growth of bacteria and mold. Also consider that there is often a huge difference between the environment inside the enclosure and what exists outside of it in the average American home. Throw in the fact that B. dubia is a sensitive tropical insect that responds unfavorably to the wrong conditions, and you can see why problems are common, how they can get out of control quickly, and that it is wise to act fast.
Also consider that while a few dead roaches here and there rarely cause problems, a large number of deaths all at once will get nasty in a hurry. When roaches die, others in the colony may eat them. If a problem in a colony is serious enough to kill roaches, the last thing you want the live ones to do is eat the dead victims and then sit around in a hot, dark, wet environment. Throw on top of that the fact that dead roaches may secrete a chemical that repels the live ones so strongly that they may become sick if they can’t escape, and you can begin to see how procrastination seldom makes things better and almost always makes them worse.
So with this in mind, let’s move on to the breeding problems and their solutions.
As certain as death and taxes, insects reproduce when conditions support it. That’s not only how they exist, but arguably why they exist. They surely would not exist if they failed to breed. If you think your Dubia roaches aren’t breeding at their full potential, the first (and often only) place to look is their environment.
No breeding activity at all is cause for immediate concern. If this is the case, something is seriously wrong in the colony. However, before panicking, allow us to suggest that it may take more time to see results from mating than you think, and there might be nothing wrong with your roaches or your colony. Here’s why:
The Dubia roach reproductive cycle
Female Dubia roaches mate around five days after adult emergence, but it takes another 65 days before she will give birth to nymphs. This is what you can expect from new females under no stress when they start breeding immediately upon introduction to males. However, the time it takes to see babies can be even longer if the females were stressed at any time, so factor this in. If on the other hand you started your colony with existing female breeders, you may see babies immediately, but it could also take up to 65 days. The chance that it would take this long are slim, but it is within the realm of possibility. When you end up with babies depends entirely on where you started.
If you rule out the timing of B. dubia’s breeding cycle and you’ve determined that there is a problem, the next thing is to recognize that whatever that problem may be, it’s one part of a continuum with optimum breeding on one side and no breeding on the other. The key is that something happened, and keeping that in mind will help you fix the problem. So will the following:
Dubia roaches breed better in some conditions than others. The goal is to know these conditions, then provide them to your roaches. The following is a list of the most common reasons Dubia roach reproduction slows, and how to fix it.
Dubia roach reproduction slows as enclosure temperatures move away from the “sweet spot”, which is between 80ºF to 90ºF. This is the range we recommend, and it’s based on a little scientific research and a lot of observation. Unfortunately there aren’t any studies on ideal Blaptica dubia breeding temperatures, so we start with what exists then work on experience from there.
If colony temperatures are consistently high, or if they rise above the sweet spot for too long, production slows. If you experience this, the solution is lowering the temperature. Keep it in the sweet spot as long and often as possible. If it wanders, find the cause and fix it quickly. A breeding colony can handle some temperature fluctuation, but less is better. Dubia roaches can become stressed when temperatures are less than ideal, and as you know by now, stress is bad.
When colony temperature is consistently low, production will decrease. Unlike the production slowdown seen with high temperatures, which is a general decline in the rate of production among the roaches that make up the colony, individual roach production will slow when temperatures are too low. This means the roaches will reproduce not just less frequently, but they will also give birth to fewer nymphs.
When diagnosing thermal issues, first be sure to find the colony’s actual temperature, which is different from the temperature you’re almost sure it is. Get a “high” temp reading by measuring with a reliable thermometer at the hottest time of the day. Then check it again when the heat source kicks off. If you use heat mats under your bin, check temperatures a few minutes after the thermostat clicks off. Heat under a plastic bin dissipates more slowly than it accumulates, so if your heat cycles on and off rapidly as temps rise and then fall, the colony may be getting hotter than your thermostat’s setting, and hotter than your thermometer indicates.
Next, find the low temperature the same way you found the high. Check at night or when the temperature in the storage area is at its lowest. To capture the actual low, try to get a reading just before the heat source kicks in.
Then, make whatever changes are needed to maintain a consistent temperature between 80ºF and 90ºF.
NOTE: a nighttime drop in temperature is OK, and it may reduce your electricity bill with no impact on production. However, the drop should be no more than about five to ten degrees. A small nighttime temperature drop combined with at least 10 to 12 hours of temperatures in the middle of the sweet zone should result in good production numbers.
Reproduction may slow if Dubia roaches don’t have enough food or if they have the wrong food. Too much protein and too few carbohydrates will have a negative effect on their health. So will too many carbohydrates and too little protein. Too little dietary protein may result in the adults eating their offspring. Larger nymphs may also eat smaller ones, which obviously has a negative impact on production. Check their diet for balance while keeping the following questions in mind:
Are you giving them a high quality protein source?
ARE you giving them a high quality carbohydrate source?
Do you feed them fruits and vegetables?
How often do they go without food, and for how long?
Do they ever go wild when you feed them a certain food? If so, is there any chance there’s some nutrient in that food they may be deficient in?
Dubia roach diet and nutrition is a complex topic and one we’ve studied in great depth. The average home breeder can successfully breed Dubia roaches if, among other things, he or she supplies adequate nutrition. If you’re in doubt you can try our roach chow and see if it makes a difference. How much improvement you’ll see depends on how bad off your roaches are now and how big (or small) your colony is, but if you have a sense that there’s a problem somewhere and a change their diet to something you know works ends up fixing it, then the problem is identified and a solution is in sight. If not, the issue may be related to something other than diet.
Tropical roaches require adequate humidity for reproduction, and low humidity can cause a reduction in productivity. Dubia roaches use humidity to keep their egg sacs, or ootheca, moist. You will notice that at times, they will climb to the highest location within the colony and extend their egg sacks outside their body. This helps prevent the ootheca from drying out. Dubia roaches are somewhat unique in this way. They are among the few roach species that carry their eggs internally. However, they still need medium to medium-high air humidity to avoid problems with their egg sacks.
To avoid these problems, use a hygrometer and maintain colony humidity at 40% or higher. 40% is the bare minimum. We haven’t done much testing in this area so we can’t say for sure, but there seems to be a natural cut-off around 40%. To be safe, you might consider shooting for 60% humidity and boosting with manual misting, an occasional bowl of hot water nearby, or even a humidifier when it drops to 50%. Use whatever method works for your situation. Humidity is more likely to remain in the target zone if you use a narrower range than you know they need. Dubia roaches are OK with high humidity. There is no consequence to overshooting the humidity target. The only thing you need to worry about is humidity falling too low.
Dubia roach males have a tendency to eat young nymphs when colony stress and competition for mates is high. This is one of the reasons we suggest in our breeding guide to keep the female to male ratio between 3:1 and 7:1. Your breeding colony contains captive roaches that can’t escape colony problems, and males can stress an entire colony with their aggression. Of course, stress can also reduce productivity. Avoid it when you can.
To one degree or another, these are the sources of the most typical Dubia roach breeding problems. Most of these problems will clear up – or you can avoid them completely – when you get food, temperature, humidity, and colony social order under control. Of course, it’s not always this simple. There are a smaller subset of “non-typical” problems with different origins not related to the more broadly defined causes listed above. If you’ve tried everything mentioned so far and nothing is working, or if you want to further reduce problems or the potential for problems going forward, the following are other factors you can consider:
Dubia roach colonies should not smell bad. They tend to have a faintly musty smell, but it’s neither “bad” nor “strong”. Unusual or unusually strong odors likely indicate mold or some other type of growth in the colony, and this may cause breeding issues. If you sense any unusual odors, consider identifying the cause, cleaning the bin, and preventing it from happening again. Maintaining clean enclosures is generally good practice anyway, and it can’t hurt to get into the habit if you aren’t already.
It’s important to note that “clean” does not mean free of debris. It doesn’t even mean free of the occasional smell of dead roaches. Some of this is normal and you should expect it. In fact, Dubia roaches benefit from frass. It doesn’t smell bad, and frass itself won’t cause mold. It’s also inevitable, and it’s a necessary part of roach life. Consider frass an asset. Nymphs need it to survive and roaches of all ages seem to enjoy burying themselves in it. Frass is good. Too much frass, however, may cause problems.
We think the way to deal with frass is to clean the colony and remove dead roaches and excess frass, but leave some of the frass behind. A good target is enough frass to cover the enclosure’s floor but not enough to create any substantial depth. More is probably OK, but it’s not necessary, and it could contribute to problems. The deeper the frass, the more water it holds. At some point, moisture will accumulate faster than it evaporates. This is something you should avoid because it will lead to mold.
Too much light or other disturbance of their colonies can have negative health effects on your roaches. Aim for providing no more than 12 hours of light per day, and keep your roaches away from visual and auditory disturbance as much as possible. Don’t shuffle things around in their bin more than once a day. Less is probably better if you can. The ideal amount of disturbance would be none, but that’s not possible or practical. Just keep disturbances to a minimum. Don’t avoid necessary cleaning chores for fear of disturbing the roaches. Use your judgment. Do what you need to do keeping in mind that less is better.
NOTE: As mentioned, it’s critical to buy healthy Dubia roaches for your breeding project. Unhealthy roaches can languish for weeks and months, never recovering from their prior life challenges (external link). We’ve seen this all too often. In the beginning, we bought roaches that were so bad off that we removed them from our breeding stock altogether. In our opinion there’s no substitute for optimum conditions not just from the day each individual roach is born but from the day it’s parents are born. Healthy breeders have healthy offspring, and they carry that advantage throughout their entire lives. And the advantage is a big one.
That said, Dubia roaches that are unhealthy or struggling or stressed or in decline due to old age will not reproduce as quickly or robustly as those without health issues. Where lower productivity is an issue and you can’t find the direct cause, do everything you can to improve the health of your roaches and your colony. This may increase their productivity or even eliminate the problem altogether, depending on the cause.
If you notice that your adults start dying at higher rates, there are a few things you can check.
Remove and properly discard the dead roaches.
Remove and separate the remaining adults and nymphs.
Set up the separated adults and nymphs in new bins with new food, water, and harborage.
If things get worse, at least you will have a better idea of the problem’s cause.
Pesticides and other chemicals
We hate to admit it, but this happened to us in the past. We had an unexplained die-off that we later determined originated from high pesticide produce. That’s when we learned to always wash fruits and vegetables before feeding them to our Dubia roaches. A tiny amount of bug spray like Raid Ant and Roach Killer can kill roaches by contact even weeks and months later. Pesticides don’t mess around. As they say, pesticides “kill bugs dead”. Take every precaution to keep them away from your roaches.
With any sudden die-off, also consider food as a potential source. If you noticed that it happened three hours after you dropped an unwashed Mango from South America into the colony, then you probably have your answer. Follow the same steps listed under Diseases above, except there’s no need to separate adults from nymphs. With a little luck the situation will resolve without too much loss.
Something as simple as old age can cause falling production in Dubia roaches. If you buy a bunch of new adult females as breeders, for example, mate them with a group of males, then remove the offspring before they mature, you will end up with a group of old females that reach old age at the same time. Keep this in mind, and always let at least some of the nymphs grow out into breeding adults. If you don’t, your breeding operation will be unsustainable. If you don’t do this consistently, roach productivity will rise and fall over time, and there may even be large gaps in production. When you see new nymphs, you can feed some of them off to your animals, but set some aside and let them grow.
Studies suggest the stress of breeding reduces longevity in roaches, but there’s no avoiding this in a breeding colony. You can, however, reduce overall stress by finding other sources of stress that you can control. Overcrowding, too much protein, too few carbohydrates, too many males, too much light, wrong temperatures, and all the other conditions mentioned throughout this page and our breeding guide can each cause stress. They can also almost always be fixed or at least mitigated.
Do a mental inventory and see if you can think of anything that might be causing stress. If you come up with something, fix it the best you can and see what happens. You may also consider changing up their diet to see if that helps. If you need more information on this topic, consider reading our article about Dubia roach die off. It covers the mortality issue in greater detail from a slightly different perspective, but one that is relevant to a breeding colony.
4. High adult male mortality
This problem sounds a lot like the previous one, but unless it’s caused by one of the issues listed above, it’s not. Male Dubia roaches are more fragile than females, and they don’t live as long in breeding situations. You may need to adjust for this.
After a while, you may notice that the males in your breeding colony die sooner than the females. Because it would be very unusual for females and males to not be equally affected by something within a colony serious enough to kill them, consider that the cause might be just be the natural life-cycle of the roach. Female Dubia roaches typically live between 18 and 24 months. Males live between 12 and 18 months. Males naturally die sooner than females, and until a colony is self-sustaining, it may be necessary to replace some males along the way.
The good news is that while the issue is common, most people won’t have to do anything about it. The exceptions are in cases where a roach keeper wants to maintain a certain female:male ratio, in very small starter colonies, or in cases where the batch of roaches they began with were particularly old. Of course, early death can be a function of stress too, but we’ll assume for the moment that any stress within a colony that could lead to early death would affect both males and females equally.
The reason male die off is usually not a problem in starter colonies is because it only takes about four months for a newborn nymph to mature to adulthood and begin breeding. Taking the very low-end of the longevity range as an example, the life-cycle of an adult male is 12 months. Most of them should survive at least one breeding cycle. Statistically, a random batch of these short-lived males will survive 1.5 breeding cycles, which is plenty of time for them to “replace themselves” through their breeding activities many times over. Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and males usually live longer than 12 months.
If you notice males living less than 12 months, their shorter lives could be caused by many things. Too much heat, stress, and on and on. The same rules apply for keeping males healthy as stated above for the colony generally: Give them proper conditions including nutrition, keep colony stress low – particularly for the males by reducing their numbers to fit our recommended F:M ratio – and resolve all problems within the colony quickly.
One common cause of slow colony “production” is slow nymph growth. In this case, production on the individual roach level may OK, while production at the colony level is not. This situation occurs when nymphs fail to grow or grow slower than normal. New nymphs may appear regularly, but whatever is happening after that may not seem right to the roach keeper. New nymphs keep coming, but for some reason they aren’t growing out.
Nymphs are very sensitive to their environment. They are the first to suffer and die when things go wrong, and as such you can consider them a “leading indicator” of problems. A colony that is doing well by all other measures can suddenly start to lose nymphs, and this indicates a problem. If you’re paying close attention and catch it early, you might be able to prevent a lot of nymph deaths.
Dubia roach metabolism slows at low temperatures, which includes room temperature in the average American home. It slows so much that nymph growth stops and the roaches can stay in the same instar (growth phase) for a year or more. This is bad news for breeding, and of course efficiency is out the window.
Nymphs also do poorly in high temperatures. In this case though, instead of living long lives, “doing poorly” means they die. And to top it off, you probably won’t know they’re dying because sick nymphs are small, easy to miss, and they’re probably eaten quickly by larger roaches. You won’t see this happen. You’ll just notice that production seems low, and you probably won’t know why.
Even though these problems become clear earlier in nymphs, the solutions are the same as they are for adult temperature problems. Check the enclosure, make sure to get temperature readings at or near the highs and lows, then adjust as necessary. Then, read through the following causes of slow growth, look into anything you think might need attention, fix any problems you find, then sit back and see what happens.
Low food quantity or quality can affect roach growth, but nutrition issues hit nymphs particularly hard. Not only do they lack the reserves of older roaches, but they tend to fall victim to larger roaches with cannibalistic urges when the colony falls on hard times. Nymphs are an excellent source of nutrition. We know it…and so do other roaches.
The first thing nymphs do when they’re born is eat their ootheca, or egg sack. Oothecae are very high in protein, so they’re very nutritious. The second thing nymphs eat is frass, or roach feces. Frass is very high in nitrogen, which they convert to protein in a process that in the animal kingdom is unique to roaches. The third thing nymphs do is eat as many high protein foods as they can. The message here is clear: Dubia roach nymphs need a lot of protein.
A caution on protein
However, too much protein (or too much of any nutrient for that matter) is bad for nymphs as it is for all roaches. The same process that allows them to store it can cause harm if they eat too much. It may also lead to some other weird results like malnutrition from overcompensation. We wrote about this in our article titled Dubia Roaches and Dietary Protein. Feel free to use it as a resource if you want to learn more about the topic.
Basically, the takeaway is that Dubia roaches have specific nutritional requirements at each life stage, and it’s very important that their needs are met. Nymphs need high protein for growth. Older nymphs need less. Females crave carbohydrates at certain reproductive stages, and the list goes on…
Dubia roaches need a certain level of care, but part of that care involves letting them be. As a rule, cockroaches are not particularly easy going insects, and Dubia roaches are no exception. In fact, some species will even drop their egg sack when pursued by a predator. While we can speculate about why, this is obviously a stress response. Maybe it works to lighten the load for escape. Or it could be a strategy to cut losses in bad environments so resources can be devoted to surviving and then starting fresh somewhere else. Whatever the case, the bottom line is that healthy Dubia roaches are happy roaches, and happy roaches can reproduce at their full potential when given the right environment.
Breeding Dubia roaches is not without pitfalls, but with a little knowledge and experience, the most common of them can either be avoided or dealt with easily. The trick is to act fast and learn as much as you can. The first place to look when problems occur are related to the colony’s environment. Broadly, that means temperature, food, humidity, and social organization. Once you have those under control, there are some other issues to be aware of that can help you “fine-tune” your colony and increase production.

I have about 50 females and 10 males. About how many babies a year can I expect, assuming everything goes as it should? And if I keep some of my babies to grow to breeders, will I have a problem with inbreeding, or is this not a problem with bugs?
That’s a good question, and you can use the information in our post about starting numbers and colony size to put together an estimate. Inbreeding shouldn’t be a problem. Judging from coloration, growth rates, etc, there appears to be a lot of genetic variation within Dubia populations. I think it’s generally not a problem with insects, and if problems do occur, it’s not something we’ve observed in our colonies.
I have about 300 roaches (I originally bought them as feeders, but my Dragon really just had a period of low eating….another problem that has since been solved), when I got them there was a mix of medium/large nymphs. At this point I have several males emerging, but no females…its like all of the females are just not maturing at all, they are all just stopping. They are mostly in the dark, they have plenty of food (mix of veggies/fruit, and some high calcium cricket diet, I like to keep that in there just to make sure they are getting plenty of food), and water crystals (yes with water…). Humidity is around 40%, and room temp is 72. Large container with egg cartons, its not overly populated….and I try to disturb them as little as possible.

There are differences between male and female Dubia roaches, and it is conceivable that environmental conditions may favor one over the other – though I don’t have specific information about which conditions affect which sex or how.
Your temperature and humidity are a bit low. I suggest a target of 85-95 degrees (dipping down into the 70’s, such as at night, is OK as long as there are periods in the 85-95 degree range) and humidity of at least 40%. Periods of higher humidity – like temperature – will probably benefit your roaches. Upping the temperature is probably the more important of the two because 40% humidity is on the lower end of acceptable (though not ideal).
The food sounds good, though I would recommend not supplementing your roaches’ diet with specific nutrients like calcium. Gutloading calcium or whatever you like short-term is fine, but possibly harmful when supplemented regularly.
The other conditions you mention sound fine. As an aside, another possibility for more emerging adult males than females is that you have more males than females…
October 21, 2017 at 12:32 pm
I will increase temp for sure, that could be my problem as I don’t have any kind of heat source for them. At some point maybe I will just order some females, and or a mixed batch to supplement my small colony.

Hi, I have just purchased a breeding colony to get me started off someone who didn’t need it any more. I have noticed I have no adult males but 5 adult females. Have put in an order for some more adults. But I notice that the roaches all seem to hide in the egg cartoons and I don’t hear or see much movement around. Is this normal?
Yes, that sounds normal. They prefer to spend most of their time hiding in the dark. As your colony grows you will see more and more moving around and doing things like eating and breeding.
Some breeders comment that males are only fertile for the first four months. From then on, we have to add new young males to maintain high production. What do you think about this?
Interesting. We have not noticed any production decline in our colonies attributed to male infertility. Males tend to be generally less hearty than females, so colony upkeep tends to involve adding a higher relative percentage of males versus females, but we attribute any production decline we see to the age of the adults generally rather than males specifically. Perhaps this could be a dietary issue? High productivity requires high energy from the right energy source(s), and it seems diet could explain why there may be reports of males “wearing out” quickly. Given the Dubia roach lifespan, I think they should last longer than four months.

I have 5 adult discoid roaches (3 female and 2 male), in a 40 gallon tub with 3 to 4 inches of bioactive substrate (so I dont have to clean it). The temperature is 80 on one side and a little hotter on the other side. The humidity is 50%.
My problem is that one of the females got “stuck” while giving birth. I was hoping the problem would resolve itself but it has been a few days and the pod is still halfway stuck in her and hasn’t moved.
My colony started with just 1 male and 1 female and 20 some mixed sized babies and so I really dont want to lose this female. Im fairly certain this was her first time having babies.
If I can't find any info I think I will put her in her own tub with high humidity and if she makes no progress I will manually remove it and hope she doesn't die.
I can’t think of anything comparable to this in Dubia Roaches. Dubia roaches can control their ootheca, and they often expose it when the conditions are moist and warm – presumably to humidify it. But I’ve never seen their egg sack get “stuck” while giving birth. While it’s an interesting question, there isn’t anything with Dubia roaches that can help solve your problem.
I have just started a small Dubia roach colony but have too many adult males. What would you suggest I do with them to separate them from the rest of the colony? Do I just put them in a separate container or is their a humane way to dispose of them? Not a nice topic but I need to sort out my ratios and help the colony to thrive.
Hopefully you can find a way to put them to use. You might feed them off if you have an animal if you have one that can eat them. If not, you might be able to give them away to someone who does, or maybe a local pet shop or reptile shelter that can feed them off or sell them. There are lots of people around the country who take in abandoned otherwise abused reptiles, and it seems likely that they would welcome the chance to get some free feeder Dubia roaches.

I have 21 females and 7 males to start a breeding colony. Is my ratio ok because there isn’t anything happening yet. Should I reduce the male count and what is the best things to feed them
That ratio is totally fine. With just a few roaches, it isn’t likely to matter much. It’s when you get a Dubia colony with hundreds or thousands of roaches that you want to start paying closer attention to F/M ratio. Something between 5/1 and 7/1 will do fine.
October 29, 2020 at 3:44 am
My male and female are stuck together and I can’t get them apart. What should I do?
Are they hooked together from the rear? If so, they are breeding, and you should not try to separate them as that could cause harm.
I currently have about 350-400 roaches in a 20 gallon tank. Per ratio suggestion for breeding I need about another 150-200 females. Is this too many in the tank?
It’s hard to give a recommendation here because (a) we don’t use 20 gallon tanks, and (b) how you organize the internal space will, within limits, determine how the roaches use that space.
If the internal space is maximally-efficient, it seems that 600 adult Dubia should fit into the amount of space you describe. In terms of numbers alone, it sounds doable. However, it may not be practical. It may be, but there could be issues.
One issue that stands out is the potential need to fill the space all the way to the top of the tank to accommodate all those roaches. This could present a possible escape issue.
Each individual setup has its own unique dynamics. Generally, you can pack Dubia into an enclosure to the extent that they can all find a spot of their own on the substrate, and air circulation is adequate. If the roaches are climbing all over each other and fighting for space, that causes stress. If there are so many roaches that air circulation decreases to the point where moisture accumulates, that leads to problems.
Start by taking a look at your 400 roaches. Do they have plenty of room? If so, you can consider adding more. If the 400 are packed in like sardines, you probably can’t add more. Also keep in mind that you have to leave room for the number (and size) of nymphs you expect to have as a result of breeding. They need space too.
I have some of the black poop eating bugs in with my Dubias…..for some reason now I have moths everywhere is that the poop eaters?
It’s unclear from your question what the moths are or what the poop eating bugs are. Neither buffalo beetles nor dermestid beetles turn into moths, so they are some other species, if they are in fact what are turning into moths. It could be that you have dermestid beetles and/or buffalo beetles, and the moths are something else entirely.

How can you tell when a female is no longer producing because of old age?
It may not be possible to tell by appearance alone. If a female looks sickly, that’s certainly a clue about its reproductive health, but roaches of any age can get sick. To determine fertility and age, you probably have to track them over time. This gets complicated though, because lots of things can cause a decline in fertility. Age and fertility are correlated, but the relationship is not always causal. Sometimes it is, but sometimes it’s not.
Thank you for such a thorough article! It already answered many of my questions. I have a thriving colony right now. I started out with about 200 about a year ago and now have thousands (enough that I purchased a very large bin for them). I feed about 25 off daily to my 2 chameleons and my bearded dragon.
I have 2 questions, the first is we keep them in an extra room that has no air conditioning. We live in central California where temperatures in the summer offer get over 110. Will they survive this heat with the window open and a fan (I’d leave the lid off during the day for air circulation, of course)? Otherwise, I’ll have to move them to my dining room.
Second question: We have an open closet in the room with the dubias. I’ve noticed a few tiny moths in the room. Would moth traps with pheromones placed in the closet and on a desk harm the dubias?
May 7, 2022 at 11:29 am
Regarding your first question: Dubia roaches like temperatures up until around 95ºF. If your outside temperature is higher but your roaches stay below 95ºF max, they should be OK. If you’re saying that the roach bin itself will reach 110ºF, that’s too high and you will need to reduce it.
Always monitor the temperature inside the colony. If it rises to 110ºF and the roaches are unable to escape it for some period of time, they will likely be negatively affected. How bad the effect depends on temperature and exposure.
Regarding your second question: It seems unlikely that moth traps near a Dubia roach colony would negatively affect the roaches. But like temperature, it could come down to exposure time and severity if there is in fact some substance in a moth trap that could harm them. And I don’t know that there is.
Whenever we have a concern about a new substance, we test it by exposing a small number of roaches for a period of time, then wait and see what happens. At some point it either becomes clear that there’s likely no negative impact on the roaches, or there is. If there is and you’ve tested on a small number, you’ve kept the damage to a minimum.

en | N/A | N/A | Historical Perspectives on the Art of Singing December 17, 2016
When the intensity is lessened more and more after the mezza voce tone passes into the sotto voce, it will have power only to travel a less and less distance, so that the listeners farthest away will soon no longer hear the sound. - Therefore, in order to have a diminishing tone heard by the farthest listener, the intensity of the tone must be kept sufficiently strong to create a wave amplitude that will carry the sound vibration of the full, rounded tone of the mezza voce to the most distant part of the resonant space. By bringing the lips closer together, however, the artist can make his tones less full, and, hence, diminish them without diminishing the intensity, or the wave amplitude. The degree of loudness, i. e., intensity, must always be in proportion to the resonant space. By bringing the lips gradually closer together, the tone can be diminished to the very last thread of its fineness. If the lips are kept open as they are for a full, round tone, the sound, after it has passed from the mezza voce into the sotto voce, with the lips still in the same open position, will no longer be audible to the listeners farther away, and finally will be lost even to those nearest the singer. The singer, when he keeps his lips open, diminishes only the intensity and not the fullness of the tone. To diminish the intensity of a forte tone into a mezza voce is well and good as long as the tone in the mezza voce can be heard by the farthest listener—but when the artist passes from the mezza voce into the sotto voce, the intensity may no longer be diminished; for if the intensity, or wave amplitude, is diminished, the tone will die out before it reaches the most distant listener. A spinning tone is a very fine tone and is made with the lips close together. In order to diminish a mezza voce tone gradually into the finest of spinning tones, the lips must be brought dexterously closer and closer—this lessens the fulness of the tone more and more until it finally reaches the last thread of its sound.
The crescendo and diminuendo should be practiced on the tones which can be created most easily on the lips. Not until the crescendo and diminuendo can be accomplished on these notes should the student try to do the same on the higher and lower ones, else he will be apt to misplace them. A crescendo or diminuendo, or both, should be used to a greater or less degree on the same tone and surely in successive tones in the same rhythmic beat. Especially in dramatic work should this crescendo and diminuendo be felt very strongly. This must be left to the development of the artistic comprehension of the student. Crescendo and diminuendo must not be confused with vibrato. Even tho tones are expressed very dramatically with close vibrato it does not say that there may be no crescendo and diminuendo. The vibrato belongs to the body and form of the wave. The vibrato is the constant increase and decrease of amplitude or intensity in one wave — the crescendo and diminuendo is an increase and decrease in amplitude or intensity of successive waves. The crescendo and diminuendo in its greatest form passes from the finest tone to the roundest, fullest sound and back again into the fine, thread-like tone.

en | N/A | N/A | Do the Republicans really want to enact a coup? Or are they just trolling?
Weeks after Donald Trump lost the election, he still finds himself embattled in a war to try to steal it from the rightful victor that the voters elected, Democratic challenger and now President-Elect Joe Biden. As Trump slowly watches his chances at stealing a second term, he and his allies are becoming increasingly desperate to try anything, even openly courting hostile and undemocratic takeovers of government.
With Georgia Governor Brian Kemp refusing Trump’s latest desperate attempt to overturn the election results after a surprise upset in typically deeply red Georgia, Trump is at a loss for avenues that he could employ to cheat the election, swinging things into his favor. Trump asked the Republican governor to “overrule” the election results that swung the state for Biden, and, as of today, Kemp has officially refused. Almost all of his court cases have been exhausted with his latest Supreme Court loss in Pennsylvania.
And now, his loyal supporter and Attorney General is saying publicly that no election fraud took place, an angle Trump used over and over again as he beat the drum claiming he was rump’s doing what all autocrats do, kicking and screaming and trying to force his way back into power.
And his most loyal supporters, those in his inner circle, like the disgraced former generalelection turned out, going so far as to retweet calls that the results be overturned, that the election be nullified, and that martial law be implemented in the United States.
Flynn openly called forand for martial law to be implemented when he retweeted calls by an Ohio organization for that very thing. We the People Convention created the video that openly calls for martial law to be installed and dictatorial powers enacted, claiming to be following in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln.
The President’s legal team has already argued the absurd, that the dead former leader of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, was working with an international cabal of far-left saboteurs in a plot to steal the election, and thus the Presidency was rightfully won by Donald Trump.
Are the Republicans secretly (or not so secretly) trying to pull off a coup? At this point, you’d be justified if you suspected as much. I wouldn’t put it past them. Hiding behind plausible deniability while saying the quiet thing out loud seems to be their specialty. But then again, they could just be trolling. Time will tell which one it is but one thing’s for certain, I’m quite uncomfortable with people being this flippant about the fate of our Republic. |

By Robert Lemos | Posted 2014-02-21 Email Print
Ninety-five percent of the top free iOS and Android apps, which overwhelmingly use ad networks to generate cash, show at least one risky behavior.
"We have to be more cautious users and refuse to install apps that collect too much data," he said. "There is no reason for these apps to be collecting a lot of this data."
A second report found that users are also more at risk from malicious apps on the Google Play store. RiskIQ, a security intelligence firm, found that four times as many malicious Android apps made it onto the Google Play store in 2013, compared with the number that did so in 2011. At the same time, Google removed fewer of the apps:23 percent in 2013, compared with 60 percent in 2011, the firm claims. Apps for personalizing Android phones top the lists of categories that were most likely to be malicious, the company said.
"Customers and consumers should be careful when downloading mobile apps and make every effort to vet them as being legitimate," Elias Manousos, CEO of RiskIQ, said in response to an email query from eWEEK. "Companies should invest in new security services that continuously monitor app stores, Websites and advertisements for malware."
Paying for an application is no guarantee that the developer is any more ethical than someone creating a free app, Appthority's Guerra said. More than a quarter of paid apps shared information with ad networks and analytics companies, 41 percent identified the users, and 22 percent accessed the user's address book, the company found.
"Some folks think, 'As long as I pay for an app, no one will track me,' but, no, the developers still track the users and sell that information," Guerra said.
"It's now much more about the behaviors and less about a risk score," Guerra said. "A lot of companies tried to block all apps ... but now have moved to notifying the users when apps exhibit specific behaviors and reminding them not to share their calendars or their address books, for example." |

en | N/A | N/A | The Remote Swedish Town That Drives The Automobile Industry
Kaushik Patowary Apr 1, 2021 0 comments
Every car goes through a battery of tests before they are rolled out into the market. Some of these tests include driving in extreme conditions such as in ice and freezing temperatures. Arjeplog, an icy outpost in Sweden, is where many European and Asian automobile manufacturers conduct their tests. The region has lots of lakes, whose frozen surface provides an idea test bed for automakers and suppliers to see how their cars react to the brutal wintry conditions.
The town of Arjeplog in Swedish Lapland. Photo: Anders Lennver/Flickr
Arjeplog was first used by the German technology company Bosch in the early 1970s to test their antilock braking system (ABS) that they had been developing since 1969. Traditionally, Bosch tested their automotive technologies in the Alps, in winter, just a few hours by car from Bosch's corporate headquarters close to Stuttgart. But testing ABS proved difficult in the mountains because brake tests required wide and open spaces. Initially Bosch conducted tests on public roads which had to be cleared up to make the roads less dangerous to drivers. But public roads were not safe enough for testing brakes.
Then Bosch found a frozen lake in Arjeplog, a small community of over 3,000 inhabitants, in northern Sweden. After observing seaplanes land on a runway on the frozen lake, Bosch representatives got in touch with the "ice makers" responsible for preparing the ice for the aircraft. Soon, Bosch had purchased portion of Lake Hornavan and the icemakers helped create the first track for testing cars.

Now there was space for test cars to skid erratically with their ABS shut down but without the danger of any rocks or slopes. This enabled the expert crews to carry out extensive comparative texts with ABS switched on and off, with new car models, even with camouflaged car prototypes. On the frozen lake the drivers could test the system's various parameter settings without major risks. In the worst-case scenario, colleagues pulled damaged cars out of snowdrifts using other vehicles. The testers simply had to watch out in case two cars got in each other's way.
Today, nearly every major automaker, including, and of course, Robert Bosch, has permanent bases in Arjeplog. From January till March, this tiny community swells from 1,800 inhabitants to over 8,000 as automobile employees and engineers descend upon the town to take advantage of the 1,240 miles of test tracks.
Construction of the tracks begins in December when the ice is around 5-10 cm thick. First, GPS-equipped vehicles head out onto the lake and starts clearing out the snow, because snow is an insulator and any snow that sits on top of the ice prevents the ice from growing. As the ice continues to thicken, different fleets of vehicles are sent out to prepare the tracks. When the ice is 30 cm thick, small green tractors with snow blowers go out and take away snow. At 45 cm, the ice is thick enough for driving, but testing usually doesn't begin until the ice is at least 60 cm thick. At that thickness, the ice can hold up to 25 tons.

Throughout the testing season, the ice thickness is carefully measured and monitored using vehicle-mounted radar instruments. Sometimes, holes are drilled below the surface and water is encouraged water to flow up onto the surface, where it freezes creating new layers of ice. Such careful cultivation can result in ice thickness in excess of 1 meter.
The tracks require constant maintenance, and are looked after by teams of technicians, who work in shifts around the clock, removing fresh snow and ensuring that sections of polished ice, the most extreme features on the track, are kept as slippery as possible.
Arjeplog has a number of hotels to cater to the winter guests. Many locals also rent their homes to auto industry employees, which has become a major source of income to Arjeplog residents. In addition, the locals offer guided snowmobile tours, dogsled tours, moose safaris, ice-fishing outings and opportunities to see the Northern Lights.
Many Arjeplog residents are also employed by automobile manufacturers to work as track controllers, plowmen, site coordinators, cleaners, receptionists and more. Each automaker has its own warehouses, driving schools, and tracks that need prepping. The entire Swedish Lapland benefits from the automobile industry with over $180 million spent each year on this tiny community.
"A lot of cars wouldn't be on the market if not for Arjeplog," says Philip Talboys, European Engineering Operations Manager at Jaguar-Land Rover. "For such a small, remote place it's amazingly important to the industry."

en | N/A | N/A | Delta-8 THC is a product that has become one of the hottest new bestsellers within the past few months. It comes from the cannabis plant and is a certain type of cannabinoid found in this plant. Cannabis is full of differentwith certain receptors in your body.
What Is the Difference Between Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC?
The cannabinoid that most people know about and is associated with the intense, psychoactive high is known as Delta -9 THC. While this is the part of marijuana that gets you high, it is illegal in many states and is illegal federally.
In terms of structure, Delta-8 THC is not that different from Delta-9 THC, but when it comes to potency, it does not pack the same punch as Delta-9. But let’s be clear, just because it’s less potent does not mean it will get you less high. It will just take a lot more to get the same effects. The high of Delta-8 THC is described as more mellow and calming and does not have the psychoactive qualities of Delta-9.
What is the Legality of Delta-8 THC?
One of the main reasons that Delta-8 THC lies within a legal gray area. Many cannabis products are legal, like CBD and hemp, and it is possible to get Delta-8 from hemp products. It is considered hemp when it has less than .3% of THC in it, so anything that occurs naturally in help is technically legal.
There are many different cannabis companies on the market right now that are promoting Delta-8 to get high legally. While this is technically true, there is still some debate on it. As an example, it is not detailed as an illegal substance. Federal laws and even state laws have banned Delta-9 THC, but Delta-8 THC is not mentioned anywhere.
The 2018 Farm Bill Effects on THC
The 2018 Farm Bill has included some pretty distinct positions in regards to THC. As a summarization, the law says that cannabis-derived products and hemp products are legal to have . With that in mind, many lawyers say that the mayhem surrounding Delta-8 will not last for long. They say this is because the Farm Bill says it is legal for products derived directly from hemp; however, most Delta-8 products that are being sold right now are not made from hemp but a synthetically altered kind of CBD.
There is a lot of a gray area around the logistics and legality of Delta-8 THC, so things are a bit uncertain. For the time being, it does seem to be legal to purchase. While the hemp and cannabis industries have some legal issues they need to work out, it is clear that Delta-8 has grown in popularity.
Does it Have the Same Effects as Delta-9 THC?
As far as the clinical aspects of Delta-8, it does seem that it can hold some benefits, like pain relief, but research into this cannabinoid compound is still at the early stages, and the surface is barely scratched on Delta-8. This means you should still make the use and abuse of Delta-8 seriously as we do not know yet how it truly impacts the brain and the body in the long run.
Just because it is not technically illegal does not mean it is safe. Please take a look at prescription pills; for instance, they are legal and given by a doctor but can still be harmful when taken incorrectly or abused. Let’s also not forget that it is still a cannabinoid that will show up on a drug test. So just because it is “legal” does not mean it is not a drug. |
en | N/A | N/A | What started me thinking (THIS TIME!) was a conversation I had with a friend in the states yesterday. She’s a few years older than I am, very active, still working. Her husband is a very successful businessman, and I really don’t think she would have to work unless she wanted to, which she does. The thought of not working and doing “nothing” has absolutely no appeal for her. The company her husband works for was recently bought out, and for a while they both figured that he would be laid off. That possibility is still there, but not as certainly as they had first thought. Since he must be in his mid to late 50’s, and has worked for this company a long time, if he were to be laid off, I’m sure there would be a very generous severance package. For many people in his shoes, this would signal the end of their working days….an opportunity to be seized and savored. My friend told me that if this should happen to her husband, she just can’t’ imagine him not working. She said she can’t imagine him EVER not working! And the thought of the two of them being together 24/7 was not appealing. This isn’t because they have grown apart or fallen out of love…quite the contrary. This is just something that she doesn’t think would work, and if you had asked me about that same possibility for me and Art, I would have said the same thing. While absence may make the heart grow fonder, familiarity DOES breed contempt. So far, Art and I have done okay, with no more than an occasional heated disagreement, and we had those in the states too. But here we are, with every day spread out in front of us like a blank newspaper each morning. Should we read, or go for a walk? Water the garden? Maybe straighten up, run the vacuum, try to tame the never-ending dust? Art is so dedicated and disciplined; he studies his Italian every day for at least three hours. I usually read, or write like now, or peruse the internet. And then there are the times when I just sit and think. Yesterday’s conversation got me to thinking again. My friend is definitely a type “A” personality, as am I. Driven. Strong. Opinionated. Impatient. So if she doesn’t think this freedom and togetherness would work for her, why do I think it will work for me?
I wouldn’t mind being a more patient person, or a less driven person. But how do you change your basic personality? I know about the type “A” personalities, and assume that there must be a type “B”, but are there also types “C” “D” “E” etc, and what are the traits of these other types? Would it be possible for me to change? And then I started to think that this was really not the root of the problem. The real problem seems to be that I am still very much aware of what other people think, or how other people might perceive my life. Why, after all this time, am I so concerned with what other people think? Insecurity? Maybe guilt? Maybe I need to work on the self confidence that I was able to project but never really feel in my heart. Many actors confess to being painfully shy, and the general public often sees this as a contradiction. For the actor, there IS no contradiction; THEY are not on stage…their character is on stage. These people use their characters to hide from the world, or at least to hide their real feelings and emotions. Although I’m definitely not shy, I do mask my insecurities with a very strong personality, and people just assume that I’m very self confident. And now, when other people’s opinions should matter the least in my life, I seem to be controlled by them. Think about it…no boss to please, no teacher to impress. I don’t have to set a good example for my children or worry about offending a co-worker. I’m no longer trying to “get ahead” and those closest to me are fully aware of my character flaws…and yet they seem to like me anyway! (The true definition of love!)
If only I could relax and enjoy…but how to do MAKE yourself do that? And if you have to MAKE yourself do that, isn’t that a little contradictory? I think I’m in the situation that some stay-at-home moms face…Yes, you ARE an equal partner. Yes, you DO contribute, just not monetarily. But how many of these women secretly feel that they are less than their spouse? Or less than their working friends? are often quite different. I think that I feel that at age 52 I’m really too young to be retired. I didn’t work long enough or save enough to justify this early retirement. I do know that it was because of my discipline and conservative financial attitude that we were in a position to retire when we did. But….we’re living on Art’s pension, and I contribute nothing. I feel guilty about that sometimes. And the rest of the time I blame George Bush and his lack of concern over the decline of the dollar. Time to fix a glass of iced tea and go sit in the garden to read a book….Enjoy the tranquility and the mild temperature….Listen to the cicadas….Count time with the chiming of the church bells. In other words….start enjoying my retirement! |
en | N/A | N/A | Okay, so your client wants to know how much their business is worth - how do you deal with this question?
Price/Earnings Multiple method - you remember this one, it's about calculating the maintainable recurring earnings (taking average EBITDA after adjusting for add backs, then taking off Corporation Tax) and applying a suitable multiple. And this is the huge challenge - what multiple?
Discounted cashflow - lovely for the excel enthusiasts!Use projected cashflows (oh dear, the problems start here!
However, let's add a dose of reality. I've just been running through some case studies of acquisitions with one of my firms and these real-life deals really brought it home to them. in each case, my client was willing to pay what they could afford to. They looked at the unencumbered assets of the business, the facility they could obtain from a lender, and added whatever resources they had. What's this got to do with the theoretical valuations above?Not a lot! |

en | N/A | N/A | 1 If they show up and we're gone, my family's dead.
My life puts everyone I love in danger.
My instructions were to find your brother.
Well, in that case, my phone's not gonna do you any good.
I just wiped it.
Do you think it's possible Mr.
Robot is the reason why you can't remember? You didn't exist when I was a kid, did you? - Shh.
Remember somehow we ended up at the Queens Museum instead? When you're eight, running away can be fun.
What? Who cares what I'm doing? It's none of your business.
It's gonna help us.
Ready or not, here I come! Angela's not gonna find us here.
I see you, butthead! I killed him.
Okay, Elliot, we need to call the police.
His phone's ringing.
The others are coming back.
Did you hear me? We're not safe in this place anymore! Elliot, you gotta listen to me.
You gotta listen to me, Elliot.
Elliot, we have to go! We have to leave, Elliot.
Elliot! Elliot, look at me.
Yo, make it plain.
Man, I told you at the Arby's up around the way, bro.
I'm not sitting on no dirty-ass toilet seat, bro.
Bro, I'm gonna be quiet.
Yo, you don't wanna know what's going on up there? Come on, bro.
Yo, Arby's be delicious, though.
Got that five for five.
Shit's the fiscally responsible meal.
Man, I don't care about fiscally.
When it come to food, I'm treating myself, man, period.
- Yo, you ever had Momofuku? - Nah, see? Yeah, you probably can't afford that.
What are you doing, dummy? Grab his wallet.
We're gonna just get in this taxi.
Just hold the taxi.
Okay, take us to the nearest police station, please.
From everyone here at the E Corp family to you and yours, we're wishing you a happy holiday season Slapjack! Nuh-uh, my hand was there first.
I called it first, doofus.
Don't call me doofus, dingus.
You each get half the cards.
- But, Aunt Trudie - No buts.
You're splitting the baby.
Thomas Alan DiPierro, you apologize this instant! - But, Mom - Now, young man, or I'm taking your iPad.
Sorry, Aunt Trudie.
Now you go take a time-out in the living room and think about what you said.
Think you can tell me what to do.
- What was that, young man? - Nothing.
Ugh, I'm so embarrassed.
I don't know where he got that language from.
A- Mama? - Not now, Tommy.
Did you know that cities were created by lightning? It's true.
I heard it on a podcast.
Villages used to be made of organic materials.
Mostly mud, sticks.
Cement? Very smart, Darlene.
Just think what a different world it would be if that lightning had struck a tree or a puppy instead.
But the lightning hit stone, and the people of Turkey awoke to find that they were in the cradle of modern civilization, all from one perfect moment of violent convergence.
Isn't it wonderful? Destruction can be so productive.
Her phone is useless.
She wiped it clean.
I had hoped for better news.
I told you you were wasting your time.
Looks like you're just going to have to restore your phone for us yourself.
Oh, nasty mouth on this one.
And even if she did, she wouldn't give her brother up.
Well, I wish I could, Dominique, but you failed me, remember? Of course, I always held out hope that you would rise to the occasion when the time came, but in the back of my mind, I always knew you'd never be able to see it through.
Youhat are you, trying to be funny? No, what I meant was is we all know how much you care about Darlene.
What? Oh, you know.
Miss Alderson's interrogation video? The one you pleasure yourself to? In private? I mean, all that excess energy may be the reason you can't get any sleep, Dominique, but in any case, it's pretty strong evidence of your affection for Miss Alderson, wouldn't you say? Oh, I'm so sorry.
But While we're at it What did happen between the two of you? I mean, it just all seemed quite dramatic.
We fucked, end of story.
Mm, come on, now.
I have a feeling there's a lot more to this relationship than just that.
I don't believe you, so no worries there.
I don't know what you're driving at, but there's no way I'm giving up my brother, so whatever you're gonna do to me, you might as well make it fast.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I am not a doctor, but I am 99% sure I punctured a lung.
Yeah, that wheezing sound is her chest cavity filling up with air, slowly compressing her lung.
You pull it out now, it'll just supercharge the process.
She's got about 15 minutes before she goes into full cardiac arrest or drowns in her own blood.
Maybe longer, since Dominique's such a fighter.
She has nothing to do with this.
You said you would never give up your brother.
I simply thought this would be the most expeditious way to break our stalemate.
You give us what we want, we'll get Dominique the care she so urgently needs.
- Or she'll die here.
Does that make sense? Elliot, you have to come in with me.
What do people do? People like me, when then they find out about something like this What can they do? They just try to keep going.
I should have fought him.
If I if I would have if I would have fought him, maybe maybe it would have stopped.
It wasn't up to you.
I wanna go back to forgetting.
You never did forget.
You may not realize it now, but you've been struggling with this for years.
The itch in the back of your mind, the one you can't scratch? It's always there.
You just didn't know what it was.
You are special, and what he did is it's not gonna take that away from you.
You will survive this, Elliot.
Call you tomorrow, okay? No, no, I'm sorry I'm sorry I got you involved in any of this.
You don't you don't have to take care of me anymore.
You shouldn't go through this alone.
Promise me you'll take care of yourself.
She needs help.
She is dying over there.
Oh, I'm aware.
I want nothing more than to get her to our medical team - and have her stitched up ASAP.
Even if I gave you Elliot's location, you would just let her die.
I'm not saying it's been all blue skies with Dominique, but most of our moles have some growing pains at first, and she is honest, loyal, and she loves her family, all of which are qualities that make her easy to control.
No, Dominique has pluck.
Losing her is the last thing I want.
See? I knew you two shared a special connection.
It's like a kind of Phantom electricity.
I wonder, did Dominique ever introduce you to her mother? Can't say she did.
Trudie is my favorite.
You know, at first, I thought our relationship would be purely tactical.
Isolate the mark, ingratiate yourself, find a pain point you know, the usual.
But then I got to know her, and she is just so lovely and kind.
She is so desperate for you to find someone that she even looked to me as a potential match.
Can you imagine that? I was so flattered.
You really have to admire a mother who cares so much about her daughter's happiness that she's willing to ignore certain red flags.
You know, when I was in high school, my parents discovered my profound interest in taxidermy.
They had similar concerns, so they had me undergo a series of tests, but the results were always underwhelming.
No signs of personality disorder, no unusual thought processes.
All the doctors arrived at the same conclusion.
That I'm remarkably normal.
She can't breathe over there.
I see this is causing you a lot of grief.
I honestly thought we would have moved on by now.
Let me continue to help you.
What are you doing? I'm making a phone call to our surveillance team outside your mother's house.
Why? Because I'm going to start killing your family members.
Janice, please don't.
- There are 13 of them.
- Four children eight adults, and Trudie.
Don't! They're innocent, Janice! Please! I wonder how many of them have to die before you buckle.
Please, Janice, don't! Please! Do not do this.
Okay, hand me my phone.
I'll give you my brother's location.
Now look who has pluck.
Why did you bring me here? I don't get it.
What are you trying to say? That I couldn't stand up to him? That I ran away here instead? I'm sorry I let him do those things to you.
I'm sorry I didn't fight back.
I'm sorry I didn't protect you.
I'm sorry, okay? That isn't why I brought you here.
It used to be over there.
This is the key to my old bedroom.
Why would I hide it here? It was Dad's key to our room.
We took it from him so we could lock him out.
We thought that if he didn't have his key He wouldn't be able to come in and hurt us anymore.
We hid the key so the monster couldn't get to us.
Don't you see? You're wrong.
This wasn't running away from him.
Alderson's phone was here, but he's gone.
Well, then where is he? We're not sure yet.
There's a dead body, but it's not him.
He wasn't there, Darlene.
I gave you access to his location.
We tracked him on my phone.
You're gonna have to find another way.
If he wasn't there, I don't know what to say.
I mean, look, my brother doesn't tell me anything.
Okay, if he's not with his phone, it's because either something happened to him or he doesn't want me to know where he is.
I'm not lying.
She doesn't know where her brother is.
I know what it looks like when she's lying.
You know, maybe you're right.
Like my mother used to say: you can't juice the orange when there's only the rind left.
- What are you doing? I'm gonna have my men gut Trudie like a trout.
What? Why? Only way to confirm or deny her statement.
No, I gave you my brother's location.
Correction: you gave me his phone's location, not his location.
Think about it, Janice.
My family's all you've got.
If you kill them now Then I'll have nothing left to hang over your head.
No! - I know.
Looks like we both have a lot riding on this, Dominique.
You know, in poker, they would call this an all-in move.
You're doing this for no reason.
- And I'm calling your bluff.
Please, Janice, please.
- I'm sorry, Dominique.
What? Your men.
Are they not answering? And why exactly would you be asking me that? Probably wanna ask him.
He's probably been trying to call me.
Dom, love, I've been waiting for your call.
Hello? Sorry for the delay, but your plan worked.
The license plates you gave me checked out.
I've got your family and we're on our way to the safe house.
Who's this? I asked you first.
This is Deegan.
Who's this? This is Janice.
The Dark Army lass.
Listen, tell Dom thanks for the technicality.
We're square now.
Oh, and I'm really sorry about your boys.
What do you mean? What boys? The fellas guarding Dom's mum's house.
I had to give 'em a bit of a holy show back there.
There weren't no other way.
What? Speak English!
Shot 'em in the brains.
With me gun.
Well, a few of them might have shat themselves, but I believe that's what the Frenchies call de rigueur, innit? Mr.
Deegan, I don't think you have taken into account the primal forces you are meddling with here.
If you proceed down this path, I will use every means at my disposal - to make sure that you nev - Yeah, yeah.
Now you have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Ta-ta for now, you flange.
- What do I do? - Give me the phone.
I have a 10-13.
Officer needs immediate assistance.
What? You can't be here when they arrive.
No, I am not leaving you like this.
Uh, sorry for the time-out.
We're almost good to go.
Darlene's got everything we need to grab the Deus Group phone numbers and intercept the 2FA codes.
And I'm working on a script to transfer all the money.
Uh, but we don't have long.
Meeting's in an hour.
The only reason I'm here Is to make sure no one ever hurts you.
That was supposed to be your father's job, but he failed.
But you You were strong.
The only way you could.
You brought me here to protect you from him.
I tried to keep you safe Only show you the memories when the two of you were friends before I thought I could store the truth so you'd never have to see it or feel it.
The fact is I didn't wanna see it either.
I was afraid Afraid of what this would do to you To us.
This was never my secret to keep.
And you deserved better than to live in darkness for so long.
I failed you too.
I understand if you can't forgive me or If you decide to shut me out for good Just as long as you know I am not your father.
That's why I created you.
You're the father I needed Not the father I had.
And I wouldn't have you.
I don't know if I can go through with the hack anymore.
I don't know if I can do anything. |
en | N/A | N/A | Why many reasons women need cesareans.
There are many reasons women need cesareans. For me, when seventeen hours of labor, my daughter’s heartbeat bogged down, which ends in my emergency cesarian section.
C-sections ar the foremost common surgery in America—about one in three babies ar delivered this manner. But even though it’s common, it was still difficult to accept. Now trying back, I’m not ashamed of my c-section. I wear my scar as a badge of honor as a result of that is what created American state a mother, a title I treasure.
Looking forward to sometime having another kid, I plan to have another c-section. This time, there is the possibility to switch things up a bit. Some hospitals ar giving little however vital changes to the procedure to form it appear a lot of sort of a birth than surgical procedure.
The techniques ar comparatively simple and therefore the main goals simple: Let moms see their babies being born if they require and place newborns straight off on the mother’s chest for skin-to-skin contact. This helps stimulate bonding and breastfeeding. This sounds amazing. My daughter face was held against my check after she was born, but I had to wait about 30 minutes to hold her.
Family-centered cesareans are a relatively new idea in the U.S., and many health care professionals and hospitals have no experience with them. The procedure needs some changes, including adding a nurse andm. This allows the delivery team to position the newborn infant straight off on the mother’s chest. In addition, the mother’s hands are not strapped down and the intravenous line is put in the nondominant hand so mom can hold the baby.
Bravo to make c-sections more like a birth and less like a surgery. Looking forward to sometime having another baby, I hope i purchase to expertise this. |

Rendering letters with umlauts etc - possibly more than you wanted to know about Latvian orthography
The edit log5 November 2015 - Tom Morris has created tonline tool that lets you type in gibberish, like Ropažu and it will return the correct form, ie Ropažu
15 November 2014 - now with added – - which codes for a hyphen.
13 September 2012 - new bit on Morse code (if the anchor tag works this should take you straight there!)
Part of my job at the moment involves transferring the names and addresses of people who want to subscribe to our schools magazines (cs4fn, ee4fn and Audio4fn) onto an Excel spreadsheet / database. Generally this is a bit of cutting and pasting, making sure things are appropriately formatted and filling in gaps. There are plenty of addresses from India and the US and I'm learning quite a bit about cities and states in those countries, and of course zip codes.
There's recently been a crop of addresses coming in from Latvia and Hungary and I've been surprised that some of the words have been completely unreadable. I know that those languages have extra letters with diacritical marks on them (umlauts and things of that ilk) but those letters should show up fine on screens and 'come through' OK from the online form. What comes through is completely unreadable, but it seems to have a consistent format.
Each mystery letter is rendered by a capital letter A with a diacritic (eg Ä) and then another character («) forming the combination Ä« (which turns out to be ī as in Līgatnes and not LÄ«gatnes).
At first I thought they'd just be vowels and that someone whose city name might be say London might not mind desperately if I rendered it as Londan. Then I realised, after looking at Latvian orthography on Wikipedia and the letters of the Hungarian alphabet, that c, s, n, k and other letters are involved. You can get some wiggle room on vowels but less so on consonants - and the length of the word and percentage of correct letters will have an impact too.
Because of the consistency I assumed that there'd be a standard gloss available that told you which letters to replace the mystery characters with, after all I can't be the first person to be faced with BÄ“rziņš and not know immediately what to do with it (it turned out to be Bērziņš). [Edit, found this gloss-like thing which may be useful: UTF-8 character debug tool]
It's really quite difficult to search just for the Ä“ character by itself, Google hasn't the faintest idea what to do with it. For some of the longer names the word did come up in Google - quite amusingly - and in some cases the Latvian version was also available from which I could work out what the letters meant.
I was also surprised that 'place names in Latvia' brought up this detailed resource which has helped me home in on likely suspects. In most cases I've had to 'triangulate' (I love that word) information from more than one source. Thanks too to @helga_j who was able to work out a word I was particularly struggling with, which opened up other words for me (once you've got another letter it's easier to search the place names database).
I am really quite amazed though that there isn't already a resource where you can type in your mystery characters and it tells you the correct letter. So I've decided to start one, in the sense that you can read off the list below and find your mystery letter. There will be a few more to add as I continue to do this, I've not solved all of them yet.
This is probably the closest I'll ever get to working on cryptography type things at Bletchley Park. I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I have done but I hope others find it useful if they ever search for mystery names.
I'm assuming that these characters are consistent across all languages and that all computers would render Ä“ as ē - could be wrong.
Probable 'translations' of characters into letters
Copy and paste into notepad / plain text, or re-size
Ä might be ā
Ä“ / Ä— = ē
BiÄ·ernieku = Biķernieki or Bikernieki
mÅ«zikas (in context = music), so I searched what the Latvian word was for music = mūzika
Ropažu = Ropažu, in English = Ropaži
route de l'aéroport = route de l'aéroport
Edit: 13 September 2012
I have discovered, after visiting the Orkney Wireless Museum that people bothered to include accented letters in Morse code exchanges, or at least made it possible to use some of them - I just took a snap of this and didn't investigate any more to find out how commonly they were used. I'd have assumed that diacritical marks would have been the first casualty of war* but perhaps people set much greater store by them than I do (speaking as someone who has no accented letters in my name and assumes you can kind of survive without them). I am rather delighted that they are included though :)
*Obviously Morse code was used as a communication tool under many circumstances, not just war.
Edit: 15 November 2014
While looking at some text about a road accident in 1863 I spotted a lot of – characters in it which are obviously meant to be some punctuation mark, but which?
"on the evening of 26th December I was at Mr. John's, Mile-end-road, and saw the prisoner—he was racing; he was in a cart and horse—there was another cart alongside of him—this was in the Mile-end-road; Globe-road crosses the Mile-end-road—I saw an old gentleman knocked down in Globe-road by the horse the prisoner was driving—there is a crossing there across the road—there were not many persons about—the two horses and carts were racing together; one was trying to get before the other—it was pretty light; it was about 5 o'clock, between 5 and 6."
Delightfully, googling for the characters actually brought up quite a lot of stuff, including this gloss which I've adapted from Mark McBride's blog post.
Edit: 18 November 2014
I've just had another example of this, with "Connah's Quay" which rendered on-screen as "Connah’s Quay".

en | N/A | N/A | the capabilities and how to generate and run models, we will consider a real example from the field of life sciences [Saiz 2020](https://elifesciences.org/articles/56079).
We start uploading the package.
## Creating an empty model
The first step for creating any model is to create and empty Model structure.
In this model we will incorporate all the pieces of the final Agent Based Model. This structure helps to add pieces to the model in a constructive manner helping to constructively create modules.
Schamatically, in the agent based model in the has three subparts:
- It has mechanics, leading to movement in the cells.
- It has a chemical interactions, leading to exchange of concentrations.
- It has division events representing the growing organism.
We will go contruct the model in three separated sections.
## Adding mechanics
The dynamics of the cells follow the following equations.
$$m_i\frac{dv_i}{dt} =-bv_i+\sum_j F_{ij}$$
$$\frac{dx_i}{dt} =v_i$$
$$F_{ij}=
F_0(\frac{r_{ij}}{d}-1)(\frac{\mu r_{ij}}{d}-1)\frac{(x_i-x_j)}{d}\hspace{1cm}\text{if}\;d<\mu r_{ij}\\
0\hspace{4.8cm}\text{otherwise}
If we observe, the model has five different types of terms:
- **Global parameters** (``b``,``F_0``,``\mu``): These are parameters that will be shared among all the agent in the model.
- **Local parameters** (``m_i``): These are parameters that vary between cells.
- Pairwise interactions (``F_{ij}``,``d_{ij}``,``r_{ij}``): This are terms that come from the pairwise interaction between two agents.
- **Interaction parameters** (``\sum_j F_{ij}``): These are parameters that are computed as a sum of all pairwise interactions from one agent to the rest.
- **Variables** (``v_i``,``x_i``): These are the variables of the dynamical system.
Once we have identified all the contributions, we will proceed to declare all the terms in the model.
First, we introduce the global variables [^1].
It is possible to intriduce all of them at one:
addGlobal!(model,[:b,:F₀,:μ])
Then we will define the local parameters.
addLocal!(m,[:m,:r])
An then the interaction parameters. It is important to notice that we only declare the interacting parameters, that are the sum over all the neighbours of each agent. The pariwise interactions are not usually of interest and having a list of the contributions of each pair would require a lo of memory. Hence, we compute them only to store them in the pariwise interaction terms.
interaction =
#Define the pairwise distance
dₐ = sqrt((x₁-x₂)^2+(y₁-y₂)^2+(z₁-z₂)^2)
#Define the radius sum
rrₐ = r₁+r₂
#Define the force components under the condition
if dₐ < μ*rrₐ && dₐ > 0. #Make sure that the force avoids itself or it will diverge
Fx₁ += F₀*(rrₐ/dₐ-1)*(μ*rrₐ/dₐ-1)*(x₁-x₂)/dₐ #sum_j F_ij for the x component
Fy₁ += F₀*(rrₐ/dₐ-1)*(μ*rrₐ/dₐ-1)*(y₁-y₂)/dₐ
Fz₁ += F₀*(rrₐ/dₐ-1)*(μ*rrₐ/dₐ-1)*(z₁-z₂)/dₐ
else #This is not really necessary but we include it in the example for shake of completeness
Fx₁ += 0.
Fy₁ += 0.
Fz₁ += 0.
addInteraction!(m,[:Fx,:Fy,:Fz],interaction)
Finally, we will have to include the variables and their dynamical equations.
#Define the dynamic equations
eqs=
dvx = (-b*vx/m+Fx/m)*dt
dvy = (-b*vy/m+Fy/m)*dt
dvz = (-b*vz/m+Fz/m)*dt
dx = vx*dt
dy = vy*dt
dz = vz*dt
addVariable!(m,[:vx,:vy,:vz,:x,:y,:z],eqs)
And that is it. We have included the dynamical equations to the model.
## Testing the model so far
[^1]: The order in which you declare the different parameters and variables is indiferent. </s> ---

en | N/A | N/A | Australian Casey Stoner made a stunning debut as a factory Honda rider at this week's Valencia tests, setting the fastest time on day two and firing the first warning shot that he'll be a title contender in 2011.
Stoner was beaming after setting the pace on day two at Valencia on debut with Honda.
’’ll be a title contender in 2011.
The 25-year-old was thrilled with the performance, made on an Australian-themed RC212V since his existing Ducati contract won’t allow him to wear Repsol colours just yet, and looks forward to his next test in February.
“There’s not much I’m not happy with!” Stoner told MotoGP.com. “Of course there is still a long way to go for us with the bike but we’ve come away with a reasonable base setting.
“We still have to get the general feeling of the bike a bit better in the middle of the corner turning, but that’s just a case of getting more time on the bike and a better balance for me as I have a different style to most riders.
Stoner’s best lap on day two was a 1:32.066, an improvement of over seven-tenths of a second on his previous day’s effort.
Commenting on his switch from Ducati, Stoner said he feels completely at ease on the Honda after just two days.
Speaking of the highlights on debut with the Honda, Stoner outlined a number of key factors that impressed him on the bike.
“How smooth the engine is. Whatever we do with the throttle transfers to the rear and I’m able to exit the corners so smoothly,” the 2007 world champion said.
“Also the chassis is very smooth and we’re able to get on the gas really hard out of corners. Even when it slides it’s very minimal and this is a nice change for me.
“We still have to move some parameters with the electronics that seem to be restricting me a bit, and we have to improve engine braking a bit as we’re struggling slightly with that, but over these two days we were able to improve that a lot so I’m sure over time and with a bit more understanding of the bike we can fix these things,” he concluded. |

About *any* which is disappointing however made up for in the starters selections. Their daily $5 beer special is a good deal. Gets loud quickly.
Great food and beer. Was disappointed to have waited for our reserved table time.
The food was great last night. I love this place
the lamb burger was outstanding, moist flavourful (i few too many charred red onions for my liking but no big deal)
Mains - BATCH burger, Crispy Chicken sandwich, Lamb Biriyani, NY Strip Steak, Short Ribs all were outstanding;
Service was really great - attentive without always being there and when there, making sure everything was right.
Great place for good food, beer and just a relaxed ambiance.
Although we enjoyed our food here during Winterlicious, we felt very pressured to complete our total order at one time and then rushed through. We arrived at 6 and before 6:30 we had eaten both the appetizer and the main! too fast- not time to relax and just enjoy a bit of our drinks. We told them to slow it down- we were not in a huge rush. I would try it again as the food was tasty.
BTW Our waitress needs to be taught the proper pronunciation of several Scotch names.
Nice place, good quality food - buck a shuck was delicious!!
I had visited Batch House during Winterlicious 2020.
Potted Shrimp - SO GOOD.
Brownie sundae (vegetarian) vanilla ice cream, whiskey toffee, popcorn - The desert was a little disappointing as I only received crumbles of brownie underneath the ice cream... I felt I was just served a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead. |

Just got a call from my sis, who works at a national game retail chain in town.

Fire Pro was scheduled today according to an earlier retail report we brought to you, but Dodgeball is arriving at stores a full three days earlier than previously expected. Stay tuned to PGC for reviews of these and all other GBA launch titles very soon!

en | N/A | N/A | Industries are made up of things that can be categorized and counted. However, there are many things to count and many ways to count things. Further confusing the issue, are announcements of exaggerated performance — these announcements, typically of shipments and installations, obscure the real data and real size of the industry.
During the period in the figure below, Europe dominated the market for solar PV deployment — at, for several years, ~80 percent of demand. BUT — during this period, markets rose and markets fell. Lesson … all markets are vulnerable.
Always look closer. During this same period, when the markets in Europe dominated demand, markets rose and fell — the lesson is that nuance tells the story that aggregation fails to tell.
In 1997, manufacturers began talking about the economies of scale offered by facilities with 100-MWp of capacity. Ten years later, the industry was aiming at 1-GWp facilities to offer economies of scale, and in 2017, the goal is 10-GWp.
It’s a safe bet that over time nothing changes more rapidly and completely than the makeup of a top 10 list, and this is true for all industries. Today’s captain of industry is tomorrow’s nostalgia. The figures below present the top 10 manufacturers in 1997 and in 2017.
In 1997, there were high hopes for a-Si and it had an 11 percent share of total shipments. The assumption for a-Si was that as capacities increased, the resulting economies of scale would ameliorate the lower efficiency. Ribbon Silicon had a 2 percent share in 1997 and is no longer a factor in 2017 having failed to make its cost argument as well as being unable to compete with lower priced multicrystalline from China.
1997 through 2007: Lower manufacturing costs and slight margin advantage for multi drives demand and multi begins to dominate shipments in 2002.
2007 through 2017: Shipments of multi dominate with mono, particularly p-type, gaining share in 2017 under the assumptions of slight price premium for PERC.
In 2017, China at 57 percent was the PV shipment leader followed by Taiwan and Malaysia. The U.S. had <1 percent share, Japan had a 3 percent share and Europe had a 2 percent share.
The future does not exist yet and forecasts are highly vulnerable to disruption.
What is being forecast?
What is the industry bound by — that is, raw material availability, incentives, government mandates, end user tastes, affordability?
Ask first, trust with skepticism. |
en | N/A | N/A | The weeklong Easter celebrations commenced on Sunday at the ancient Shrine Basillica in nearby Vailankanni with the “Palm Sunday” procession. The celebrations will end with Easter on April 16.
As part of “Palm Sunday”, priests and others went in a procession carrying palm leaves at Vailankanni, a famous Christian pilgrim centre in Tamil Nadu. Throughout the week, the 17th century shrine would see a stream of pilgrims, wearing saffron saris and loin cloths.
Also, several people undertake a “padayatra” to the church from all over the state travelling for days on foot. On their arrival at Vailankanni, they get their heads tonsured as thanksgiving. Several Hindus also take part in the padayatra and Easter celebrations. are considered holy for the Christians and they celebrate the whole week preceding Easter as ‘Holy Week’. Special prayers were held at the New Jerusalem church, Tarangambadi, which is the oldest protestant church in Asia.
Palm Sunday was celebrated in its usual fervour at various places of the southern districts on Sunday. Palm Sunday is a Christian festival that is celebrated on the previous Sunday of Easter as it marks Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem.
Christians across the world take out processions with palms in their hands symbolising the historic event. At Madurai, Christians went in a procession at Anna Nagar with palm leaves in their hands.
Men dressed as Christ were seen riding on horses with a large cross in their hands. They also claimed that they offered prayers for good rains in Madurai. At Palayamkottai in Tiruneveli, members of CSI and Catholics carried out a procession, singing hymns all the way. A large number of Christians participated in it. At Thoothukudi, a special procession was organised at Our Lady of Snows Shrine Basilica.
The procession covered all the important streets around the Basilica. Members of the procession said that their 40-day fast had commenced on March 1 and the festival would conclude with Good Friday and Easter celebrations. |
en | N/A | N/A | I’ve always liked the little warning the New Yorker puts at the top of its “Night Life” listings:
“Mu”
I think what’s most appealing – apart from the commendably diplomatic use of the word “complicated” – is the combination of sympathy for the artistic personality mixed with concern for the magazine’s well-to-do sixtysomething readers, who it apparently fears may never have been exposed to the edgier side of after-dark entertainment.
You imagine an older couple on the Upper West Side reading it together at the breakfast table, fur coats and hats hanging by the door ready for their weekly night out on the town. “What about a rock concert, dear?” “How exciting! Shall we give it a try? It’ll be a lot racier than the Holbein retrospective.” “Yes – we’ll go, but we’ll be ready for anything. I’ll bring a blanket.” It’s certainly a better approach than the queueing-at-Tesco testiness of the complaints whenever Justin Bieber or Rihanna are late delivering product to their impatient consumers, who always seem to have somewhere else they need to be that night.
Dealing with wild, free-living, unpredictable Bohemians can be tricky – and production journalists would know, because we have to work with reporters. They’re not that much like musicians, of course, even though, on a scale of temperament that runs from scientist to pop star, they’re clearly nearer the latter than the former. But they’re not exactly actuaries either.
Home correspondentscharm strangers, drink with criminals, hustle police officers, barrack politicians and cajole the bereaved, with one eye on the clock and the other on their laptop battery. Foreign correspondents and photographers have to drop their lives at a moment’s notice, fly into war zones, source their own body armour, grease palms, adopt fixers, stand in front of bomb sites, and negotiate their own release from bandits. I say “have to” as though it were a chore: in fact, they enjoy it.
Sometimes they file so late they miss an entire edition. Sometimes two or three of you have to go and cheer them up in the pub where they’ve spent the whole afternoon with writer’s block. Sometimes you bump into them in the toilets refreshing themselves with the kind of stimulant you can’t easily find at a supermarket. And sometimes they make very strange mistakes: in one hard-hitting and passionate investigation I subbed recently by a highly respected veteran foreign correspondent, the sex of the protagonist changed from “he” to “she” halfway through.
Of course they’re not absolutely all like that. Specialist and technical correspondents such as economics writers are as sharp and as sober as you might expect, and consumer affairs journalists are a splendid middle-class combination of resourcefulness and indignation. And even though it takes place in noisy venues and late into the night, journalism’s not really rock’n’roll. But we could probably do with our own After Dark-style warning at the top of the newslist: reporters and photographers lead complicated lives; it’s advisable to have people check what they do in advance of publication.

The Baylor Bears and Texas Tech Red Riders rivalry began in 1929 and has been played every single year since 196, both Baylor and Texas Tech were invited to join the Big-12 Conference. The Bears are currently Texas Tech’s most played opponent with a current record of 72 meetings.
This year is looking like the year Baylor will cash in on the ‘W’ against the Red Raiders to make the series a dead even tie. Baylor is currently ranked No. 1 in the conference and No. 7 in the playoff rankings. Texas Tech on the other hand is ranked 7th in their conference with only 4 wins total this season.
Obviously when looking at that kind of matchup, it’s no surprise that the Bears are going into their battle with the Red Raiders on Saturday with a 21 point advantage, and that point spread has jumped up to a 25 points in some sportsbooks.
What can we say about the Red Raiders? Well, to be nice about it, we can say this hasn’t been the year for Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are simply putting the finishing touches on a crappy season, but you know what they say, misery loves company.
Whatever it is, a rivalry game is almost always unpredictable, and Baylor has a pretty huge spread to cover in this one which may be something to consider when laying down your college football bets for rivalry weekend. </s> Made these cuties for Valentines day this year and loved them!

en | N/A | N/A | Labs and recitations complement the lecture component of a course. While the lab component of a course typically has a well-defined schedule of experiments to be conducted each week, the recitation is intended to allow students to discuss and obtain clarification of material presented in the formal lecture. Consequently, its structure is generally more flexible than a lab. Some courses may have both a lab and a recitation. While labs and recitations support the formal lecture, their importance, and hence the teaching assistant’s importance, in helping students achieve the overall learning objectives of the class should not be underestimated. In addition, experiences early on in the undergraduate curriculum can have significant impact on student retention and on a student’s decision to pursue a particular major.
Some institutions have an established teaching assistant (TA) development program where teaching assistants start as graders, then progress to teaching recitations or labs, before teaching their own section of a course. Other institutions assign new teaching assistants directly to labs and recitations. For new TAs, this rolean international teaching assistant who is also new to the US educational system.

I'm still annoyed becahse of a ridiculous ticket i got few months back in Dalston where the road is width restricted but if you don't see the sign at start of road you will end up totally miffed why there are those yellow blue white road bollards directing you left into what appears to be parked vehicles, all parked except just enough space to counter intuitively go left round the bollard instead of straight through which is what i did. £65 fine and dismissed my points that it didn't make any sense at all. |
en | N/A | N/A | We want our children to have a sense of his or her own abilities and to feel good about themselves and building their self-esteem and self-worth is key to achieving this. Outdoor and indoor play can be a key factor in this because it’s fun, absorbing, develops critical thinking, develops emotional intelligence and helps develop focus and concentration.
There are five elements of children’s play :
Play must have no extrinsic goals;
(there is no defined or prescribed learning that must occur.)
Play must be pleasurable and enjoyable and stress free.
Play is spontaneous and voluntary. (No coercion should be necessary.)
Play involves active engagement on the part of the player. (no standing on the sideline looking on or being left out)
Play involves an element of make-believe. (This is key to developing the imagination and creativity for future development years.)
Why Learning Through Play Is important ?
Learning through play is a term used in education and psychology to describe how a child can learn to make sense of the world around them. Through play children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments.
Key ways that young children learn include playing, being with other people, being active, exploring and new experiences, talking to themselves, communication with others, meeting physical and mental challenges, being shown how to do new things, practicing and repeating skills and having fun.
Outdoor play and games can help with so many social skills such as sharing, helping, turn taking and mixing with others. We need to encourage more of it whether our children are 3 or 15. This is mobile, device, screen or technology free zone time. We must not encourage its interaction here whatsoever save for finding game and rules of games online if necessary beforehand.
We need appreciate and understand the health benefits as well as the emotional and social development benefits and coax, coerce, incentify or reward our kids to get out and play more. If we dont they won’t , better still get out and start off by playing with them, then leave them to it.
Providing children with a range of playthings both indoors and outside will help them learn in a number of ways:
Drawing and painting pictures, dressing up, playing with action figures and dolls can encourage creativity, imagination and expression of feelings.
Jigsaws and various building block game such as Lego can help develop logic with recognising different shapes and sizes, putting things in order and.
Water and sand games can introduce measurement and learning that water and sand can be measured in different sized containers.
Running games, ball games, dancing and climbing all help to develop coordination skills, body movement, balance, strength and flexibility
10-12 hours of outdoor play a week during the daytime can help prevent myopia (near-sightedness). This averages to at least 90 minutes of outdoor play every day. This combined with unsupervised play, can go a long way in improving kids’ health.
Near-sightedness is caused by weakness in the muscles that allows the eyes to focus. The muscles have lost the ability to focus beyond a certain distance.
When you spend a majority of time indoors on TV, computers, cellphones, video games you limit the range of motion of your focusing muscles. It’s like restricting your arm from straightening all the way. If you or someone you know have had your arm in a cast for a month or so, have you noticed how the muscles in the arm have shrunk? If you restrict the range of motion in your arm so you can bend it only half way and never completely straight, your arm will eventually lose the ability to straighten. This is in effect what happens to kids who spend most of their time indoors.

Rabbitohs and New South Wales halfback, Adam ReynoldsMaroons in Game II.
South Sydney Junior, Reynolds, is relishing the opportunity to experiencing the atmosphere of a packed Suncorp Stadium where it is expected that over 50,000 screaming Queenslanders will congregate on Wednesday, hoping to see Queensland retain the State of Origin Shield.
Despite being no stranger to big occasions, playing in-front of a packed ANZ Stadium in the 2014 Grand Final and Game I of the 2016 Origin Series, the hostile Queensland crowd will add another element to the occasion, yet the playmaker is looking forward to the challenge.
“They’re very passionate up there and everyone says it’s a different game,
“I’ve heard it’s a good challenge to go up there (to Suncorp Stadium),
“I’m sure we’ll get a good round of applause when we come to the stadium,” Reynolds said, tongue in cheek.
Although the rookie playmaker suffered a 6-4 defeat in his debut Origin game, Reynolds was grateful for the experience and is excited by the opportunity to get another game on the biggest stage in Rugby League.
“It was everything you’ve been told about, the physicality, the speed- just the pace of it,” said Reynolds.
“It was pretty frantic at time out there, but it was something that I definitely loved,
“I’m honoured to be able to represent New South Wales in Game II.” |

en | N/A | N/A | Editor's note: We're trying a new approach to reviews of episodic game series like Tales from the Borderlands, inspired by our approach to early access releases and some online games. The debut episode will be reviewed without a score, as here, and we'll review the whole season with a score at its conclusion.
Tales from the Borderlands thanks to having enjoyed the comedy of the original games far more than the shooty-shooty stuff that never quite clicked. A cursor is more my kind of weapon than any poison-spewing death cannon, and I'll take a good inventory over an arsenal any day. If you agree with this more civilised approach to problem-solving, then Tales from the Borderlands is a great chance to finally enjoy a trip through this world. If not, don't worry. You might no longer have a gun that shoots electric babies or whatever, but it hasn't forgotten its action roots, and it's not long before you're both using a mech to take out an army of bandits and getting involved in a high-octane deathrace.
The world is silly, but Telltale knows a core rule of stories - they have to matter to the characters. To them, it's life or death.
Meet Rhys. He's a high-flyer at Hyperion, Borderlands' proud Evil Inc, who's just been outmanoeuvred by his arch rival and demoted to janitor. He wants revenge, and he's willing to get his accountant best friend to steal ten million dollars to buy it. Now meet Fiona, a con-woman with a not entirely legitimate key to one of those magic Vaults. She wants money. About ten million dollars, ideally. No prizes for guessing how this goes, or how badly.
Tales from the Borderlands is both of their stories mashed together; the fights, the squabbles, and of course, the lies, as told while both are looking up the business end of a shotgun some time in the future. Narrators don't come much more unreliable, or more entertaining. As Fiona, Laura Bailey is having about as much fun as her version of the Boss in Saints Row 4, while Troy Baker infuses Rhys with just the right mix of jerkish and potentially redeeming elements to be likeable however you steer him with Telltale's now trademark "X will remember that" choices. He's a born Hyperion who openly admits at one point to having started a club as a kid just to be able to have his own business cards ("That's the saddest thing I've ever heard," he's told, not without cause), but can still be fiercely loyal and try and do the right thing. Or he can be Handsome Jack reborn, despite being desperately out of his depth. Without a Clementine or a Snow White to act as a barbed morality chain, the choice is entirely yours, and it's not like Pandora doesn't deserve a little snarking bastardry now and again.
No knowledge of the earlier Borderlands games is required, though it won't hurt. It's a game of tropes though, from the con/heist plot beats that it shamelessly steals to the character archetypes - the jerk with an as yet undecided heart, the stylish con-woman with a kid sister, the mentor who can absolutely be trusted, and all of that. If you've ever seen anything in even the same galaxy as the story, you basically know most of what's going to happen up front - give or take a few wonderful extras like a philosophically minded loader-bot or having Hunter S. Thompson show up to bring in some Walking Dead style jump-scares now and again.
One bullet. One shot. Make it count. Or, indeed, don't.
Telltale's take on the universe is somewhat different from Gearbox's though, especially in the humour. There are some crazy howling psychos, but mostly the characters are quirky rather than crazy and the dialogue wry rather than Borderlands' energetic patter - Fiona trying to maintain a cover-story under pressure, Rhys asking for directions from exactly the wrong person, a psycho guard polite enough to phrase things like "I realise this is rude, but I just don't like your face..." and other quieter moments that inevitably escalate into death, carnage and organs splattering down like autumn rain. Everything is done with incredible verve though, and Telltale's choreography has never been more cinematic in both the action sequences and the regular talking bits, where conversations will be interrupted by dramatic events or explode into immediately evident bullshit that we later see played out 'properly' though the other character's equally self-serving but temporarily more honest eyes.
The catch is that even by Telltale's recent standards, the result often feels like it may as well be a straight-up movie, with far too many interactions limited to just pressing a key to dodge something or some equally primitive QTE. Moments where you just get to explore are few and far between and contain almost nothing to actually do, with Tales always desperately pushing you to the next scene, the next bit of action, the next plot twist. There's a little bit more to do than first appears, admittedly, like scanning items for jokes using Rhys' cyborg eye and hunting for money that Fiona can use to unlock options, but they're brief moments that are easily overlooked. This episode's showpiece scene especially is a real case of "Well, clearly you don't need me..."
Unreliable narration is always good for a laugh. Tales From The Borderlands does it better than most.
It gets away with it - for now, at least - thanks to its burning energy. Rhys especially needs more than a well-timed button press to win a fight, with even success usually leading to humiliation like breaking his hand against an enemy's face or trying so, so hard to strangle a guard that even the guard feels sorry for him. Fiona meanwhile has an entertaining choice hanging over her head all episode - a gun with only one bullet, to be saved for an emergency. You of course get to decide when that is, in one of Tales From The Borderlands' more pointed reminders that you're just a regular guy and gal trying to survive on a planet of crazies, rather than a tooled up Vault Hunter with a kill-count measured in genocides.
Provided that you're okay with an interactive movie rather than a full-on adventure game, this is an excellent start to the series. Rhys especially is shaping up to be a great character who's always going to be pulled between his natural urge to be a shark and the chance to become something else, while Fiona's profession all but guarantees back-stabbings and dramatic swerves. If there's a disappointment, it's that when the overall arc of the story - so far - is hinted at, it's summed up with the line "One way or another, everything on Pandora is leading you to a vault..." Vaults are easily Borderlands' least interesting plot element, and hopefully there's something more interesting going on than just another treasure hunt. |

The show has quite a simple premise, but manages to deliver on it's comedic background. While watching Limitless I was surprised by how the show was funny at all the right moments. Limitless manages to shine a comedic perspective on criminal investigative shows. All of the episodes managed to be different. All of the episodes seemed like they went by a different format than the generic copy and paste "insert bad guy here" style that major franchises such as NCIS and CSI seem to follow.
Limitless keeps itself suspenseful while littering the show with many comedic moments that add huge value to the widely expanding plot line. Brian Finch's ability to talk to the audience allows the writers to slip in small jokes here and there that make you remember that this show isn't purely about investigating murders, it allows itself to be a comedy with fourth walling breaking attributes. Using this part of the show the writers even made an episode which is a direct tribute to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
Limitless is a show that I would recommend to anybody who doesn't know what to watch on TV. It manages to deliver action where it is necessary and ke watching it. |

en | N/A | N/A | A, split ACs make appreciably low noise.
Power consumption is low and thus saves on energy bills.
They are expensive and have a higher price tag attached to them.
Installation is difficult and requires professional support.
The gas refill in the compressor is a must after relocation.
While deciding on the type of AC, the room size and required AC capacity are an important factor to consider. This is both crucial and tricky as an oversized air conditioner can cool your room quickly but give you high electricity bills, while undersized would not only render high energy bills but would also prove inefficient in cooling the room appropriately.
1-ton AC works perfect for any room size varying between 80 sq. ft and 120 sq. ft.
The normal summer temperature of the room is around 40 degree Celsius or more.
Sunlight falls directly on the room walls.
If two ACs have everything equal but differ in just their star ratings, the price would be higher for the more energy efficient unit. The 5-star rated AC is the ultimate but it need not be your exclusive choice. You can decide on it keeping your usage pattern in mind. If your AC is used just for a couple of hours, a 3-star rating is decent enough but if it is used round the clock, then the 5-star rating unit would be the best option.
Foremost, by inverter technology, we do not mean that the AC runs on an inverter or continues to operate during a power outage. It is a technology via which you get several advantages. Both window and split ACs are available with or without this technology.
The compressor of inverter ACs does not have the stress to run continually on higher speeds like the non-inverter ones. This lack of load makes inverter AC more durable than the non-inverter versions.
Given the benefits, it is easy to surmise that inverter ACs would naturally attract a higher price tag than the non-inverter varieties.
These play an important role in the cooling speed of the AC by converting the. They are made of either copper or aluminum.
ACs with an coil are cheaper and more economical but one should opt for copper coils as they help cool faster because of their high heat transfer rate. They are also less corrosive and have a high coil strength.
Made of mesh, these filters let the dust particles stick on them and prevent them from evaporating at home. Depending on usage, they must be cleaned periodically with plain water for optimum performance.
Using this feature, you can eliminate excess moisture from the room especially during the rainy season for a cozy, comfortable feeling.
This feature helps the AC to turn ‘on’ and ‘off’ automatically during the night for a uniform temperature inside the room. They play a vital role in keeping you comfortable especially during the significant dip in temperature during the night. They also help in reducing your energy bill.
Now that you know all about the things you need to size up, all that is left now is visit a store in real or virtual and shop the best air conditioner to meet your requirements to the tee.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of an air conditioner is a must as it has a direct impact on the AC’s lifespan and performance. Moreover, you would also see a significant rise in your energy bill when you lay back on maintenance.
They capture the dust, moisture, and all other allergens and tend to get clogged. Cleaning the filters at least once a month helps you reduce your energy bill by 5 to 15 percent.
The condensation drains of the air conditioner tend to clog easily which in turn, reduces the humidity lowering efficiency of the air conditioner. Cleaning of the drains eliminates the issue. </s> Kelsey C Roy Illustrations: Cheerful Greetings!Unfortunately I can't feasibly send a card to Everyone, so I'm posting it on here to wish all of you cheerful and happy holidays!

What to Expect When Hollywood Takes On Pregnancy
I probably don't have to explain why this is making pregnancy and birth advocates everywhere chase down their rolling eyeballs, but Lionsgate Films is actually planning to make "What to Expect When You're Expecting" yes, the instructional anxiety manual - into a feature film. (Here's just one example of why this book turns so many stomachs.)
And, as The Feminist Breeder aptly points out in her comment on the article above, it's also possible that the publishers of the book have been seeing sales lagging, given the growing alternatives to their "classic" worst-case-scenario book, so this is as much a business move on their end as anything else. They point blank say as much in the article itself:
Let me take this moment to once again direct you to "Laboring Under An Illusion", an examination of how mass media portrayals of childbirth have affected us as a culture. I wrote about it a bit back here. (For my local peeps, we're going to be featuring this in our upcoming ICAN Birth Film Festival in April - more on that in the future.) I hope the makers of this film do even more promotion to offset whatever this "What to Expect" project unleashes.

How can I get old SQL Server CUs?
By Airborne Geek on October 17, 2017
When one maintains SQL Servers/Instances for a living, one of the things we do on a semi-regular basis (or at least should) is install major updates to said instances. But, because usually we aren’t in a position to mash the latest and greatest one out to everything we support, where to find the specific update we’re looking for isn’t immediately obvious. This is because on all of the existing–say–Cumulative Updates pages, all of the download links to a generic “latest CU” page, where that’s all you can get.
Behold! Via the Microsoft Update Catalog, all updates that have been released for SQL Server, [almost] ever: www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=SQL%20Server
From this site, you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for and pull it down. Easy peasy. Use the search box at the top to get a little more focused, keeping in mind that “Service Pack” and “Cumulative Update” are spelled out. If you’re looking for a specific update, it’s probably best to use the KB number to search for it (“KB4024305” for SQL 2016 SP1 CU4, for example).
The main page of the site is pretty awesome in a 1997 sort of way (it even looks like it’s from 1997). When you go to www.catalog.update.microsoft.com, basically all you get is a little welcome message, some feedback and a FAQ link, and a search box. That’s it. It’s great.

Hey, you! Don’t Forget to Enable DB Mail in Agent
Raise your hand if you’ve been there: You set up a new SQL Server instance, configure Database Mail (test it), and then set up a nice Agent job to back up your databases. You configure it to send mail on job completion (so you can keep an eye on it not matter what), but it’s not sending mail. You test DB mail again, and it’s working. What gives?
As with most things in SQL Server, there’s a couple ways to turn this on. First is the GUI. The Alert System page of the SQL Agent’s properties dialog is shown here, and you can see right on the top where the main “Enable” checkbox is, along with dropdowns for the DB Mail settings you want to use. Flip that on, pick your desired mail settings (probably only have one setup), restart the Agent service, and your agent jobs will start sending mail as-expected.

Or it is something that's happening for the very first time, like this is the first time you're playing at a venue new to you, or the first time you're playing in Pocatello, a debut performance.

I'd suggest creating your press release in a Word document, then save it as a .pdf, attached in an email. You should also copy all the text IN the email - use as little formatting as possible. Oh, some bold or italics won't hurt anything, but don't get overly fancy. Include all your upcoming shows in these releases. Consider sending them out weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

Sylvia had been so focused on her fears of losing Tom and how awful and powerless she felt on a day-to-day basis, that it hadn’t occurred to her until now to explore what she wanted. It turned out that during her 15-year climb up the corporate ladder of accounting Sylvia had been finding it harder and harder to navigate the politics, growing work load and increasing levels of responsibility. All her energy went into getting through each day, so when she arrived home at the end of the day she had nothing left to give and often opted for a glass of wine or television just to numb out from feeling bad. She was grumpy, had mastered the art of pointing out all of Tom’s flaws and things he hadn’t done, was often disconnected from her relationship, and the concept of waking up feeling joyful with an authentic smile on her face seemed like a pipe dream.
To be fair, the concept of doing a job you absolutely love and that causes you to expand your potential and connect to your purpose, is a fairly new phenomena. But having the communication and boundary-setting skills to make where you work right now more enjoyable, this is a basic. Everyone deserves respect and appreciation, plus the opportunity to do their job well. But sometimes you’ve got to ask for it. And this is what Sylvia discovered.
You’re probably wondering about her fiancé, Tom? Did she make the changes in time? How did it work out? Well… as her confidence rose at work, as she began to feel more respected and trusted, that authentic smile became a daily way of expressing her new found joy. And, no surprise, Tom loved that because it made him feel like he put it there.
