https://community.naimaudio.com/t/552-av-bypass-issues/21856 | Sorry you haven’t received a reply yet. You may want to page Richard Dane.
Do you get any sound when Unity gain on those inputs is not selected?
In addition to Richard’s comment above, I assume you are using the same cable to connect to the 552 socket 4/5 that worked fine with the 252 ?
Yes I tried the NDX 2 in both inputs 4 and 5 and the is sound coming through but nothing on bypass apart from the hiss.
I have been speaking directly to the dealer and Naim technical support and it’s seems that they both think the dealer has kindly offered there is a problem with the unit but not sure what.

Saliva Introduce New Singer After Parting Ways With Josey Scott
Back in November, radio station KFMX in Lubbock, Texas, got the scoop that lead singer Josey Scott had decided to leave his band Saliva to pursue a career as a Christian solo artist. At that time, the band wasn’t sure if they would continue on without Scott or replace him, and now, the verdict is in! | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2014-04-16T14:20:19.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
https://www.brianjustice.com/arts-entertainment | Her business card reads "Project Coordinator" for the Chicago Transit Authority, but Elizabeth "Lee" Kelly is actually a doyenne of the city's art scene.
It’s the rare couple that has a French 18th-century marble fountain in their driveway, but Reginald and Millicent Chillingsworth did. And when was damaged by a truck during a renovation Reg and Millie found out the “hard way” about insuring art, heirlooms and collectibles.
Frank Galati and the Steppenwolf Theatre were both born in Highland Park, and his professional and personal lives have been intertwined with both the wider Chicago theater scene and what is readily recognized as one of the leading theatrical companies in the country ever since.
Fresh, energetic, and openly in love with the tasks at hand is an apt description of the 12 teenagers who performed in the Wilmette-based Actors Training Center’s (ATC) annual Professional Summer Intensive Showcase in mid-August.

https://www.jbaynews.com/2018-08-10/heavy-rains-expected-in-jeffreys-bay | The South African Weather Office has warned of heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, very cold conditions with snow on the high grounds and mountains, as well as strong to gale force winds along parts of the coast today (10 August 2018).
The cause of these conditions is the presence of a cut-off low pressure system which will be moving through the country.
The provinces which will be affected the most are Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape.
Rain has fallen in the catchment areas with the Kouga Dam receiving 5,5 mm of rain as at 7 am this morning. The dam level is at 6, 73 %. Patensie received 16,5 mm of rain.
Snowfalls are expected over the mountains in the northern and north-western parts of the Eastern Cape including the Sneeuberg and Winterberg mountains today.
Motorists are urged to be cautious as there is large volumes of water running in the streets of Jeffreys Bay at present.
The rain is expected to fall until late this evening.
Over 70 mm of rain was recorded in Humansdorp last night as a thunderstorm hit the Kouga region with intensity….

c50192d270506eabd7822d1f8bdc0a6c | I was lucky enough to have all four grandparents deep into adulthood. Each brought something different to the mix that is now me. From Grampie I learned generosity. As a young man back in the early 1930s, he made some money on the stock market. Before investing into what would become his future company, he decided to tithe 10% to a missions project in China. Through the years, Grampie always credited his success to writing that first $2,000 check – even though it hurt. For the rest of his life he gave and gave and gave. And God gave more. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-24T08:16:01Z | c4 |

Right, the weekend is nearly upon us :clap2: so what are you good folks up to?
Obviously brunches have been curtailed, but there is still plenty to do (see my Iftar thread).
I will be working until fairly late this evening, then meeting friends for a few drinks. House party tomorrow night. Some bits & pieces in between.
House party tomorrow night.
What sort of types will you expect at this house party?
I'll be taking my niece to Wild Wadi, Ski Dubai and Dubai Aquarium.

Fun bisexual magicians?
Fun sado-masochistic dwarfs?
Fun vicars and tarts?
Fun delusional highly-regarded bespectacled left-wing Swiss dentists, who enjoy Dubstep, Robert Ludlum and Chekov plays, and believe the War on Terror is nothing more than CIA/Pentagon disinformation and reside in Jumeirah 1?
Hey Elphaba, will you let me in if I wear a linen suit with shirt hanging out, and pointy Lebanese shoes?
i was thinking of HUSH lounge at Habtoor Grand night? - anyone been here before, seems very nice, and friends have also had good times there before in the past...
I'm thinking TGITs at the astoria, followed by imperial suites and finishing off at Jockeys..... ...
There may, or may not, be talent at Oscars.....
Us... having my birthday on Saturday so hopefully my hubby doesn't have to work. Staying at home for dinner that night unless my little boy can make it for a late dinner. What time do most restaurants open up??
As soon as it is iftar, the restaurants will be open.

Я открываю Activity другого приложения, читаю через Accessibility Service данные оттуда и хочу переключиться обратно на свое Activity из сервиса, но посредством Context.startActivity c пустым Intent, Activity теряет пользовательский ввод. При этом, если я вручную открою недавние приложения и переключусь на свое - то ввод не теряется. Как мне добиться такого же поведения программно?
В данный момент самое подходящее, что я нашел - это дважды вызвать AccessibilityService.performGlobalAction(GLOBAL_ACTION_BACK), но это мне не очень подходит.
Я пробовал установить флаг Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY, при этом открывается Activity, на долю секунды мелькает предыдущий ввод, который сразу перерисовывается с пустыми полями.

6f5f0b0120a0983897f00ae55621f29705437471 | Q: Old SF story, similar to "Sliders", involving a group who've been sliding through alternate Earths, and have gotten lost Spoilers, BTW. The story concerns a group who have been sliding through alternate Earths, and are lost. They're terrified of being identified as some Earths are aware of sliders and don't approve. They visit a bar where they are pegged as spies because they act so cagey. So the patrons grill them: Who is the vice president? Who won the last World Series? They get an answer wrong but the bartender says "It's okay, I know that one," then breaks out his map of alternate Earths and shows them how to get home. May have been anthologized in a classic SF collection.
I read it sometime in the early 1980s, possibly in a SF collection that may have been a Golden Age as compiled by Asimov collection, although that's not definite. Most likely I read it in '81 to '83.
A: Lost and Found by Michael A. Banks could be a possibility.
Excerpt (copied from archive.org):
"Funny, you having that wrong map,” he said. "Where are you from?”
I shrugged. "Picked it up at a gas station.” Do they call them gas stations here?, I wondered, carefully ignoring the second question.
"During the war,” he said, picking over the words carefully, "they used to say that you could tell a spy because he didn’t know who won last year’s World Series.”
I edged away a bit. "I don’t follow baseball.” Was that what they called it here? I tried to look casual. "I guess that makes me a spy.”
"But you know who the President of the United States is, don’t you?”
They have a United States, I thought. What was this guy getting at, anyway? I said, "Jimmy Carter, of course.”
He seemed to relax a little; I relaxed a lot. "And Vice-President?” he asked, leaning toward me.
"Fritz Mondale,” I answered, confidently.
"Who?” he said. "Who the hell’s Mondale?”
That tore it. I’d lost again.
Then he leaned back and said, "Oh, I see now. I know the Mondale one. With that map, I figured you might be hopping. Why didn’t you say so? I got a directory right here. Sounds like you’re about two lines inzonked, unless you hit a Mobius ... or, maybe your field calibration’s off. There’s a guy right up the road can fix it..."
The detail that doesn't match is only one person being lost, instead of a group.

https://www.agencyexpress.co.uk/saving-for-your-first-house/ | The reason most first-time buyers can’t get onto the property ladder isn’t down to the fact they have bad credit records or aren’t in reasonably paid, full-time employment. Instead, it’s because a large deposit is often required to get the best deals, which makes saving for your first house a challange. Whilst it is still possible to get a mortgage with a 5% or 10% deposit, the rates will be much higher than if you were to put down a larger sum.
The government offers a scheme called the Help to Buy ISA. For every £200 you save, you will be given an extra £50. £200 is the most you can put in at any one time, but you can kick start the account with a £1200 investment. The most you can save in total is £12,000, at which point you’ll get a bonus of £3000 from the government.
Most high street lenders have signed up to the scheme so it’s definitely worth shopping around for the best rates. The best bit about this scheme is that unlike the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme you are not restricted to a new-build house, you can buy whatever you like, with no ceiling on how much you can take out a mortgage for. Better still, if you’re moving with a partner then you’ll receive up to £6000 since the ISAs are per individual, not property.
This scheme is only available when buying a new build property. The government will lend up to 20% towards the cost of the property (you will get up to 40% in London). Therefore a mortgage of only 75 per cent of the value of the property is needed (55% in London). With the help to buy equity loan, you will only need a deposit of 5%.
If you don’t have much residual income, saving your first house deposit can seem like a difficult task. Assess your monthly expenditure and see if you can make any cut backs while you are saving. Even small savings can make a difference.
Freelancing in your spare time is a great way to make some extra money. There are lots of online job boards where start up companies in particular are looking for paid marketing, writing, or graphic design work which you can do from the comfort of your own home. You could even get a temporary evening or weekend job whilst you are saving. Dog walking, babysitting and evening bar work are all simple ways of making extra money to put straight into your deposit fund. They can be a great way to meet new people too.
Returning home to live may feel like a backward step but it’s actually a very positive one. Paying a minimum rent (or no rent if you are lucky) to your parents will give you the breathing space to save towards that crucial deposit for your own place.
Saving for your first house deposit doesn’t have to be an impossible task. The government Help to Buy schemes can help you onto the property ladder and consulting a Mortgage Adviser will help you find the best deals and give you a better understanding of the options available. Saving steadily each month will help you reach your goal. Making cutbacks, taking on additional work and moving in with your parents are great ways to help save as much money as possible to put towards your deposit. | 2023-04-10T09:15:41.149474+00:00 | 2020-02-23T07:51:05Z | common-crawl |

https://folknh.com/2020/02/11/paul-driscoll-is-the-de-facto-mayor-of-hesitation/ | In January of 2020, singer-songwriter Paul Driscoll released his debut album Mayor of Hesitation. Despite the title, there’s been no hesitating on his part when it comes to the music. Paul’s been tirelessly gigging and writing since returning to New England from his adoptive home of Colorado. Backed by his guitar and a few friends, the 8-track album puts Paul’s unique writing and vocal style up front and on full display.
Paul Driscoll’s music isn’t easy to categorize. It’s contemporary; but also rooted in a 3-chord country and folk heritage. While the traditional roots are apparent, Paul’s taken that foundation and built far beyond the tradition. The songs of Mayor of Hesitation are modern, with lyrics relevant to a more youthful crowd. One can look to the likes of John Prine and Townes Van Zandt for their impact on the course of folk and country and perhaps see a similar evolutionary contribution from Paul, himself.
The tracks on the album give us a window into Paul’s world and offer us a little insight along the way. We see a traveler searching for his true home in “Thank Ya Kindly” and in the title track we see a young man reminiscing about a simpler time with family while navigating fledgling adulthood.
Mayor of Hesitation tickles a range of emotions throughout the album. In songs like “Now I Appall”, “Thank Ya Kindly”, and “Lenny’s Song”, Paul delivers a confident and unapologetic croon while we see a more tender and gentler Paul in “Pitch Black and Thread So Fine” and “Silver on the Bluff”. The instrumentation follows suit with only the modest addition of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and lead guitar on a few tracks. A tasteful rhythm section beefs up a couple of tracks only where advantageous.
Many listeners will find Mayor of Hesitation an instant classic offering several newborn anthems for the every-day. The modern songs born out of folk roots are a win and make the album an easy listen. | 2023-04-10T11:02:08.551227+00:00 | 2020-02-23T13:37:00Z | common-crawl |
https://www.elitedaily.com/p/42-weird-products-on-amazon-that-are-worth-every-damn-penny-16962279 | There's nothing quite like getting excited about your online order, having the package arrive on your doorstep, opening it up... and finding that what you ordered is nowhere close to what the picture looked like. It has happened to me, and what can I say? I love taking gambles on what appear to be good $5 bargains. But you? You're better than me. You realize that a penny saved is a penny earned, whereas the loose change burning holes in my pockets always puts me at risk of spontaneous combustion. Alas, when it comes time for you to spend money, you know to make sure it's on some of the incredible Amazon products that are so weird, yet genius.
From a hands-free smartphone mount that hangs around your neck, to a fun kitchen gadget that takes the work out of preparing perfect hot dogs, there's no shortage of bizarre-but-brilliant products on Amazon that people are losing it over. Besides, who can resist the heat-resistant oven rack guard that keeps your hands safe from accidental burns? I know I can't!
So, what are you waiting for? I can hear that hot dog maker calling your name, and it's beginning to sound impatient. | 2023-04-08T15:10:52.433125+00:00 | 2020-04-06T19:40:15Z | common-crawl |

When you play football at USC, you're never too far away from the past.It starts inside the doors at Heritage Hall, where Heisman Trophies and framed jerseys greet players.Names like Carson, Matt, Reggie, LenDale, Sam, Lawrence and Keith still resonate in the locker room and on the field.Head coach Pete Carroll likes it that way, and in senior linebacker Brian Cushing, he's found someone who's bought in."Coming into this program, I knew one day my goal was to be a leader of this football team," Cushing said. " Learning from the older guys, it's a kind of competitive leadership. It was unbelievable traits they showed, helping me understand the philosophy Coach Carroll preaches."It's music to Carroll's coaching ears."When you hear Brian talk, he's so well versed in what we think and what we believe. He's absorbed the mentality we want," Carroll said. "He's taken the mantle, and it's really cool to see that. A year ago, he wouldn't have presented himself like that. It wasn't his calling. "Now, he knows it's serious business."Cushing will have plenty of help leading the Trojans this season. On the defensive side of the ball, guys like Fili Moala, Kyle Moore, Rey Maualuga and Kevin Ellison should have the rest of the Trojans falling in behind them.Having so many different players ready and willing to lead, Carroll and the Trojans could be in the uncomfortable situation of those strong personalities pulling in different directions.But having spent four, and in some cases, five years with these guys, Carroll's confident everything will fall in place."They'll take their spots. They'll fit together. Rey doesn't say a whole lot. He's not going to be very outspoken - at least he never has. Kevin Ellison doesn't say a whole lot either. They're just hard-as-nails football players," Carroll said. "Cushing, he's going to speak up. He's not afraid to say something. Fili will be a little outspoken; so is Kyle Moore a little bit. "I don't worry about it at all."And according to Cushing, this isn't by mistake."I think it goes along with the kind of guy Coach Carroll recruits. He knows what characteristics he wants in a player. He's been able to get it that," Cushing said. "The kinds of guys he has in the locker room right now are unselfish guys who want to do what's best for the team - no matter what that is."You know it because you understand it from the guys who came before you. It's been a great opportunity learning to become one of those guys."And that meant, last year, that they had to defer."There was no place for them. It wasn't their time," Carroll said. "I'm not complaining at all about (last year's senior's) leadership. Those guys worked hard forever. It's just different."I can feel that there's a difference in the makeup of our team. I don't know how it translates; this group is going to be fun to coach though."The traits have always been there, and over time, the leadership just surfaces. Soon, it'll be passed on again."They know they have to raise them up, almost like their little brothers," Carroll said. "They have to care about them, respect them and help them. It's a very cool part of the culture."The new leadership also breathes new life into Carroll, who attended his eighth Pac-10 Media Day Thursday."It seems like the first time for us even though it's the eighth," he said. "We have a chance to do something special with a kind of changing of the guard." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

You know yourself when you are taken for and take anything for granted life becomes stale and dull and lifeless but when you appreciate everything and are appreciated, everything changes and glows and becomes Light, and life is worth living and is very, very good. So why not now in this very moment of time surrender your whole life and living to Me anew? There is no time like the present to take action. Now having done that, go your way rejoicing with a new sense of freedom and joy in your heart, ready to do anything I ask you to do. Accept this is a new day and a new way, and dwell not on the past. There is far too much to be done in the ever present Now, the glorious Now. Never cease to see My hand in everything that is taking place and never cease to say “thank you”. You can never be too grateful for anything, you can never say thank you too often.
Guidance from Eileen Caddy
Why Not In This Very Moment Surrender Your Whole Life To Me?

Thanks, Bettina. I had failed before. I got ‘Add content – Sources’ now (no ‘Add feed’). But it seems OK.
The first trilingual dictionary focused solely on Swiss legal terms?
In front of me is a copy of Swiss Advokat Alfred Schreiber`s Terminology of Swiss Civil Law with the quadrilingual claim of German/French/Italian/English – 6th edition 1983, 46 pages, albeit that used to serve me badly, plus – more importantly – Robert Herbst`s nominally Swiss German/French/English dictionary of commerce, finance and law (600 pages).
Some source-terms on the sample pages do not strike me as uniquely Swiss French or German, but the target-terms tend to be more American than British/Scots law English (e.g. vital record).
Often there is no explanation of the context when needed (e.g. return as a debtor to better fortune(s) – with or without a debtor warrant?, recognition of a pledge – is this a general lien or a land charge?, action for maintenance – marital or mechanical? and challenging a schedule of claims – on the merits or `collocated` by ranking of priority?).
Well, just because there is a quadrilingual glossary, doesn’t mean this isn’t the first trilingual one!
Is the Schreiber any use?
I must admit to throwing Herbst away.
Schreiber I had, pre-retirement, found useful only once in 30 years.
It has a barebones selection of 150 entries with virtually no exclusively Swiss or Liechtenstein conundrums (e.g. Beistatuten) but translations like the `registrar of civil status` for der Zivilstandsbeamte and the mysterious `pledge of cattle` for Viehverpfändung cf. an inspired `debenture` for der Pfandbrief.
Still, I never bothered going back to Grant & Cutler, when off Regent Street, for return of my fiver.
Just ordered the dictionary off Amazon.de, FWIW.
Ah, good. Mine hasn’t come yet (from the USA). | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-24T22:36:11Z | c4 |
b8e96e06faeea9be7eff9b52432dbc21 | ELLEN DeGeneres may be crying in public over the dog she gave up, but her flack, Kelly Bush, is doing the TV host’s dirty work behind the scenes.
Yesterday on her show, DeGeneres bawled over Iggy, the mutt she adopted a month ago, then passed off to her hairdresser two weeks later, claiming the pup didn’t get along with her cats.
But in handing off the pooch, DeGeneres broke a contract she’d signed with Pasadena-based pet adoption agency Mutts & Moms stipulating she was to return Iggy to the agency if the pet wasn’t a good fit for her and girlfriend Portia de Rossi.
When Mutts & Moms called to check on the dog, DeGeneres told them she had given it away. On Sunday, they went and took Iggy back, leaving the hairdresser’s two kids devastated. DeGeneres begged publicly for them to return it to the family, saying she was an “animal lover” who thought she was doing the right thing..”
According to Fink, after yesterday’s show aired, Ellen’s fans bombarded Mutts & Moms’ owner, Marina Batkis, with threatening calls to “burn her house down.” One fan said, “You slimeball bitches are not worthy of living. How dare you make Ellen cry. Give Iggy back!”, ‘Let’s talk about this.’ ” | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2019-10-14T09:27:02.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
http://www.scoliosis.org/forum/showthread.php?13797-Scott-update-TRS-worked!!!&s=1697262dde3f7e12b80db5a9155313c9&mode=hybrid | Scott just had his 9 year old checkup and his back remained stable at 20 degrees after a year of growth. WE ARE OVERJOYED!!!!
We began torso rotation just before Scott turned 7 and his back has remained stable since. Amazingly enough it still worked despite the fact that he didn't properly fit into the machine until he was 8.5 years old. The upshot is that he's only been doing the exercise with correct form for the past 6 months. We only do it twice per week and it takes a matter of minutes. Whatever TRS does, IT WORKS!
I'm eternally indebted to Dr. Vert Mooney for discovering this exercise and Dr. Kevin McIntire for doing the followup research.
Here is a link to my TRS thread. This thread includes all of the study links for parents.

That is GREAT news, Dingo! I hope he continues to hold.
You and me both! But honestly I feel like 95% of the pressure is off and my blood pressure can go back to normal. 8-) Scott has been stable for 2 years which is as long as he's been doing TRS. If any curve remains at adulthood I'm confident that 20 or 30 years from now there will be some sort of advanced technology to fix it.
I'm glad you can finally relax a bit. Go fry those fish, but please keep us updated on your son. It would be nice to see how this plays out to the finish.
I absolutely will. He gets his checkup once a year and I'll keep posting. See ya!
I'm happy for you and Scott, and glad to hear he is stable. Hopefully he will never progress. Thanks for the updates.
I am quite sure all of us wish we'd never heard of scoliosis!! | 2023-04-08T17:21:33.742562+00:00 | 2020-04-07T00:29:07Z | common-crawl |
6b7a5eb8b7c9fc352b10a367081744ac3cb48040 | Q: Measuring 'total bytes written' under Linux We're quite interested in exploring the possibility of using SSD drives in a server environment. However, one thing that we need to establish is expected drive longevity. According to this article manufacturer's are reporting drive endurance in terms of 'total bytes written' (TBW). E.g. from that article a Crucial C400 SSD is rated at 72TB TBW. Do any scripts/tools exist under the Linux ecosystem to help us measure TBW? (and then make a more educated decision on the feasibility of using SSD drives)
A: Another possibility is to look at /proc/diskstats. It's not persistent across reboots, but it has data for every block device. Probably most interesting to you is field 10, which contains the total number of sectors written. On a system with scsi disks with a sector size of 512 bytes, you could run
awk '/sd/ {print $3"\t"$10 / 2 / 1024}' /proc/diskstats
to see how many megabytes were written to each device. The output will look like
sda 728.759
sda1 79.0908
sda2 649.668
A: I was struggling with the same problem on my notebook, but as I reboot it pretty much on a daily basis, the accepted answer wasn't helpful.
I have a Samsung mSATA SSD, which happens to have the SMART attribute #241 Total_LBAs_Written. According to the official documentation,
To calculate the total size (in Bytes), multiply the raw value of this attribute by 512B.
So the following command gives me the total TB written on my SSD disk (sdb)
sudo smartctl -A /dev/sdb | awk '/^241/ { print "TBW: "($10 * 512) * 1.0e-12, "TB" } '
As it also works on my HDD, I assume that it should work on pretty much every modern hard disk.
A: You can see how much data has been written to an ext4 filesystem by looking in /sys/fs/ext4/$DEVICE/lifetime_write_kbytes.
A: You can try iostat. It gives you statistics related to IO and CPU usage. Have a look at the manual man iostat.
A: For my KINGSTON SEDC400S37480G, under Ubuntu Server 14.04, I use the following script to monitor TBW. I run it from cron once every day.
The script outputs to a log file.
You need calc for it to work.
Install calc using:
apt-get install apcalc
Script content:
echo "*** $(date -R) ***" >> /scripts/tbw/log.txt
tbw=$(cat /sys/fs/ext4/sda1/lifetime_write_kbytes)
TB=1000000000
echo TB written to sda1: >> /scripts/tbw/log.txt | calc $tbw / $TB >> /scripts/tbw/log.txt
Will output:
*** Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:02:51 +0300 ***
TB written to sda1:
3.062138442

https://www.ss-shieldhall.co.uk/ship-tour | In this section, we take you on a pictorial tour around "Shieldhall". Unfortunately, we cannot provide the smell of steam and hot oil, so why not make a date and visit this masterpiece of marine engineering. We start on the boat deck.
For an interactive 360 degree tour of each area view the Panascope tour. Click on the plan icon on the engine room telegraph in the bottom right.
This is where visitors normally come aboard. You will be aware of the teak decks which lead forward to the Bridge. The awning used in inclement weather was installed in 2013.
On the port (left) side is our Shop where you can purchase a selection of "Shieldhall" souvenirs. Walk up the ladders on either side of the superstructure and you come to the Bridge.
On the Bridge you will be able to see the old and the new side by side as we have tried to retain the traditional nature of the Bridge but also, we have included modern equipment to comply with today's regulations. If you look forward, out of the Bridge windows, you can see the large expanse of the foredeck.
As you enter the engine room you look down on the two triple expansion steam engines. The silver discs on the top of the main engines represent the differing cylinder sizes in each engine. Moving down two flights of stairs we come to the manoeuvring platform where the engineers on watch control the direction and speed of the main engines.
Unusually in a ship's engine room, there is room to move around each engine and now is the time to start counting all the auxiliary engines. Take care as you move around, there are tripping hazards and some of the pipes are hot.
From the Engine room, we move forward into the Boiler room. There is space between the boilers to pass through safely, as both boilers are well insulated. Once in the Boiler room you will notice how hot it is and also, how quiet with just the roar of the furnaces and the forced draught fan making their presence felt. Within the Boiler room, you will see three more steam driven auxiliaries.
We have to leave the Boiler room and Engine room by the same ladders that you came in by and when you get back on open deck, continue aft and have a look in the Tiller Flat.
Here, you can see the steering engine and unless one of the crew are present, you have to watch this engine from outside as it can start without warning. Watch the engine respond to movements of the ship's wheel and see if you can work out how the steam is controlled. It is probably time to take some refreshment and what better place than the Saloon. The saloon can seat approximately 70 people and when the ship is alongside, it can be used for meetings, conferences, or special events.
Not only is there a fully licensed bar selling a wide range of beers, wines and spirits, but our galley staff are able to offer a full range of snacks and meals. On our excursions, a full meal service is normally available.
Our tour ends on the foc'sle.
Once again, the teak decking is very noticeable. The steam driven windlass is typical of those that were used during the age of steam and it is used when mooring the ship, or when raising the anchor. Passengers are normally allowed into the "eyes" of the ship and this will give you an unrestricted view ahead.
There are many other spaces on the ship which are not accessible to passengers, but in this tour, we have covered all of the areas open to the public, at sea and in harbour. We look forward to welcoming you aboard.

ca0543c09a0f363002e03f75432eecec739ad4d8 | Q: cannot reach munin port on other AWS instance 2 AWS instances, in the same region but different availability zones, one is in regular EC2 and the other is in VPC, both have an Elastic IP, both are 64bit Amazon Linux AMI 2014.03.1.
Both are running munin-node.
The instance in the VPC is running munin-cron.
I have added incoming TCP and UDP port 4949 to the security groups of both instances.
On the munin node, I added an allow-line with the IP address (regular expression) of the munin server to /etc/munin/munin-node.conf. I bind munin-node to any interface using host *. Then I did sudo service munin-node restart.
Then I ran netstat.
$ sudo netstat -at | grep munin
tcp 0 0 *:munin *:* LISTEN
So the port is open there.
On the munin server AND on the munin node:
$ nmap AMAZON-IP -p 80,4949 | grep tcp
80/tcp open http
4949/tcp closed munin
On the munin node:
$ nmap localhost -p 80,4949 | grep tcp
80/tcp open http
4949/tcp open munin
So from the outside, the http port is open (Apache is running) but the munin port is closed. The node can't even reach the munin port on it's own public IP address, but it can on localhost. I added port 80 as a sanity check, to be sure that there is network connectivity at all.
So what am I overlooking here?

34fae887ec9ab9ff286d23edfb7ce7eb | Imagine it’s the year 2030 and you buy a shiny, new driverless car. You’re ready to hit the open road for your first spin in this amazing automated machine. Before you leave, you need to remember to take along your vehicle registration and insurance ID card. Or do you?
It’s not an easy question to answer. Who would be listed as the driver on the policy anyway? It wouldn’t be you since your new, automated car will be doing all the work. Plus, self-driving cars are extremely safe so there shouldn’t be any accidents. All things considered, why would you even need auto insurance with a driverless vehicle?
Traffic accidents involving a driverless car will still happen. Crashes will probably just happen for different reasons. And crashes will most likely happen less frequently than they do with human-driven vehicles.
However, the fact remains: financial protection provided by personal auto coverage will still be necessary. After all, if your driverless car is damaged in a crash then how will you pay to repair it? Keep in mind, fixing state of the art technology is always expensive.
No matter how much the auto industry improves safety features, there are always risks involved.
It is true that self-driving cars will be quite a bit safer than having a human driver. That’s because driverless vehicles won’t be texting their friends or changing the radio station while zooming down city streets. They also won’t be stopping at the bar after work for a few cocktails.
However, like all machines, fully automated cars can go on the fritz and not perform as expected. A self-driving vehicle could have a software failure that results in an accident. As you can guess, an auto liability insurance policy would certainly be helpful in covering the cost of property and personal damages. Same as when you are in the driver’s seat. The only question is whether the driver or car manufacturer will carry specific parts of the insurance policy.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), driverless vehicles will not suddenly take-over American highways. In fact, NHTSA advises that Automated Driving Systems (ADS) will be slowly introduced onto U.S. roads over a period of many years. The plan is for auto manufacturers to perfect six levels of driver assistance technology advancements until they eventually are able to introduce a vehicle that operates itself with no human assistance.
This methodical introduction will allow car companies time to perfect their ADS technology, as well as give lawmakers and insurance carriers the opportunity to outline new guidelines. Insurance actuaries will no doubt be collecting data throughout each ADS phase. This data will be used to help figure out how to fairly and accurately factor auto premiums for driverless cars.
Remember, it’s going to take time for driverless vehicles to be introduced into the auto market. This means there will still be cars driven by humans on the road.
Consider this scenario: you are zipping along country roads in your new driverless car when a human (driving the old-fashioned way) in a 2010 Camry hits you. All of a sudden your flawless vehicle is now a heap of metal and the Camry driver has no insurance. Now what? Well, just like you do now, you would still need uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage help cover the cost of repair or replacement.
Finally, there will always be a need for comprehensive insurance, which protects your car from things that driverless technology does nothing to protect you from, like vehicle theft, vandalism and natural disasters.
All in all, auto insurance seems to be destined to be around for quite some time, which is a good reason to find a policy that saves you money every month. Our QuoteScout™ is here to help you do just that. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-22T06:51:42Z | c4 |
91b4e96e5a3e25e1ee712430d297c3cd | Graduate Council met with the candidates running for Grand Marshal and President of the Union. We asked several questions to each candidate regarding how they would involve and support graduate students in their goals for the Student Senate and Rensselaer Union. Based on their responses and platforms, we have decided to endorse a candidate for GM and PU.
The responsibilities of the GM are extensive. The GM serves as the leader of the Senate and guides Senate committees in their pursuit of student life, academic and facilities projects. While both candidates had ideas for committee projects, Paul Ilori ’17 impressed us with his extensive work as a senator and Student Life Committee Chairperson. Under Ilori’s leadership, the SLC has completed Residence Hall Access and Inclement Weather Policy Proposals. Ilori has completed many projects on other committees as well, gaining insight into committee processes and developing working relationships with relevant Institute administrators. Furthermore, Ilori has identified communication as an issue between the student body and the Institute. With his goals, we believe Ilori will be able to improve student involvement on campus and revitalize methods of online communication with the student body.
In terms of graduate student support, Ilori has emphasized the newwed for improved communication between the Senate and the graduate student body. He hopes to reach out to graduate students using several avenues. Ilori suggested a closer collaboration with the Graduate Council, face to face interactions and other efforts, including postering common graduate student haunts on campus.
Our next endorsement is for the position of PU. In the past year, this position has increased in scope. Previously, the PU oversaw the Executive Board and budgeting process for the Union Activity Fee. This year, there was increasing demand for the PU to liaise with Institute administrators and secure student representation in Institute affairs, especially those concerning the operation of the Union. Though each candidate emphasized their desire to work with the Institute, Chip Kirchner ’17 has developed a plan of action that will provide solutions to problems students currently face.
Kirchner presented his plan for the E-Board, emphasizing an enhanced training program for the E-Board and a plan for Summer Arch. With more financial training, he hopes that the E-Board will have a deeper understanding of the fiscal policy of the Union and Institute. As PU, Kirchner also hopes to increase the leadership opportunities by delegating projects, meetings and tasks to senior members of the Board. We believe a student like PU candidate Shannon Gillespie McComb ’17 will be instrumental in developing and coordinating these projects. This hierarchy will provide a valuable experience to E-Board members and ensure student opinion is represented consistently to Institute leaders.
Additionally, Kircher plans to review Union activities and programs so students get the most out of their activity fee, specifically those not involved in clubs. Kirchner also intends to increase communication with the student body, especially towards graduate students, by approaching students directly and working with the Graduate Council in event planning. The Graduate Council was excited to meet with these candidates, and looks forward to the improvements they may bring to RPI. We wish the best of luck to all candidates, and implore graduate students to vote on Thursday! | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-22T02:25:13Z | c4 |

After reading Kayleene's email, I thought about how fun a baby shower game specific scavenger hunt would be. I searched online and could not find any scavenger hunt games that have specific baby-related clues to follow, so I created the following original Scavenger Hunt baby shower game. Great suggestion Kayleene!
This baby shower game scavenger hunt assumes that you would have the following rooms at your party location: A kitchen (with a refrigerator & an oven), a laundry room (or a place for a clothes hamper), a bathroom (with a bathtub), and a TV room (with a TV). You could hide little prizes at each location for each guest to find and take one (little mints, chocolates or candles). Or you could hide tickets/cards at each location and the person who collects all of the cards first wins a prize.
Print off these Scavenger Hunt baby shower game cards and give one to each guest. Then tell everyone that they must find the prizes or tickets using each clue on their card. You could pair 2 or 3 people together to make it more fun & interactive.
But after going here, they'll look like brand new!
The laundry room! Hide the prize in the laundry room or in a laundry basket/clothes hamper.
When baby is pushed in their first set of wheels.
A baby stroller! Hide the prize in a baby stroller (borrow someone's baby stroller and put it in the entry way or front room and put the prize inside the stroller).
Oh the fun baby'll have once they can get wet!
The Bathtub! Hide the prize in the bathtub (If you don't have a bathtub at your party location, borrow the kind of baby bathtub that fits onto a normal sink and put it in the sink in the bathroom & hide the prize in the baby bathtub).
But it's one thing in common that cars have with cribs.
They both have bumpers! Go out to the driveway/parking lot and tape or tie a prize onto the bumper of your car.
Is quickly baked for baby and me.
The oven! Hide the prize inside the oven in the kitchen (just be sure that no one turns the oven on during the baby shower game!).
They could stare at this box for hours at a time!
The T.V.! Tape or position the prize on or near the television set in the entertainment room.
Where baby will spend a lot of time riding.
The car seat! Borrow somebody's baby car seat and place it in a visible location in the entry way or front room or hallway and hide the prize inside the carseat.
That these go well with ice-cream!
Pickles! And where are pickles kept? In the refrigerator (or pantry, if unopened). Hide the prize inside the refrigerator by the pickle jar.
There are 4 different versions of this Scavenger Hunt baby shower game so that there are 4 different clues to start with. That way, it won't be everyone heading for the same clues at the same time.
Good Luck on the Baby Shower! | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-18T12:58:18Z | c4 |
ec9403dc58ddc323c78656ab0dabbe64 | Own A Proton Car Using BR1M Money.
The government is currently creating a mechanism that allows BR1M recipients to buy Proton cars using BR1M money as the first installment.
Purpose of Proton Car Rebate.
They believe that this will help BR1M recipients increase their extra income for their families by driving Uber.
What is Uber?
- For riders – Uber is a convenient, inexpensive and safe taxi service. You on his way to come pick you up.
- For drivers – Uber provides exceptional pay. It allows you to be your own boss, and even receive tips. Take on fares whenever you wish, work as much or as little as you desire, while meeting new people in your city from all walks of life.
According to Dr. Mohd Irwan, treasury secretary-general, the new arrangement could help BR1M recipients get their cars through Proton Holdings Bhd and get a rebate of almost RM 4,000. He said that negotiations were made with Uber, Bank Simpanan Nasional, and Proton to help recipients improve their standard of living by buying their Uber cars at very minimal cost. Through this effort, they can earn an average of RM5, 000 per month. Taking into account the amount of money that will be obtained as a part-time Uber driver, payment for the car will not cause a lot of burden to the receiver.
Prime Minister Datuk Raka also reiterated that BR1M receivers could use rebates to make their first installment for the purchase of Iriz cars and start driving Uber.
This agreement with the carmakers is in line with the government’s desire to balance the gap between high income earners and low income earners in the country. Before the agreement was struck, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia conducted a research.
The results showed that about 80% of B1RM recipients agreed to continue the assistance.
Uber Approved?
Uber has encouraged people to buy their cars through the program. According to Mohd Irwan, this is a good development in the country as people who take advantage of this offer can improve their standard of living while at the same time making a positive impact on the economy. Meaning, this will benefit the BR1M recipients, Uber and the Malaysian economy. The government has also decided to go through with such initiatives to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.
TV Project For BR1M Receivers.
RM308 million. Yes. That’s the amount of this project on the purchase of 2.2 million MYTV decoders. This project aims to distribute TV to semakan brim 2018.
“It’s a good move to start migrating from analog TVs to digital TVs, it’s a fun life for the people”
– Prime Minister Najib Razak
He also said that by entering the digital age, the world would be a better place. Furthermore BRIM TV service is free and without monthly charges. This has enabled the lower income group to stay connected without having to worry about additional bill payments for their expenses. | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2021-07-23T21:59:54.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
https://www.africaninsider.com/politics/guinea-body-setting-return-civilian-rule-meet-saturday/ | Conakry – An interim legislature tasked with deciding when to restore civilian rule in Guinea following last year’s coup will hold its maiden session on Saturday, the authorities said.
The West African country’s ruling military, which seized power in September, announced the opening of the so-called National Transitional Council on state television on Tuesday evening.
The 81-member body will “draw up a new constitution and propose the date of the end of the transition,” according to a statement.
The inaugural ceremony will take place in the capital Conakry on Saturday.
The announcement comes amid mounting international concern at a wave of military coups in West Africa.
The latest occurred in Burkina Faso on January 24, while an attempted coup occurred on Tuesday in Guinea-Bissau, according to its president.
West Africa’s regional bloc Ecowas – the Economic Community of West African States – is due to meet in Ghana’s capital Accra on Thursday.
The bloc has previously urged Guinea to swiftly restore civilian rule, and has imposed sanctions on individual junta members.
Guinea’s strongman Colonel Mamady Doumbouya deposed elected president Alpha Conde in a putsch on September 5, defying broad diplomatic condemnation of the coup.
The former special forces commander has promised to restore civilian rule but has so far refused to specify the length of the transition period.
Doumbouya’s coup followed a putsch in neighbouring Mali, where the military seized power in 2020.
On January 24, Burkina Faso’s army also announced it had deposed President Roch Marc Christian Kabore and taken control of the country.
Then on Tuesday in coastal Guinea-Bissau, President Umaro Sissoco Embalo said that armed men had mounted a coup attempt, attacking a government building while he was inside.

https://cannabisindustry.co.uk/2019/10/11/inside-mitch-mcconnells-private-lunch-meeting-with-the-marijuana-industry-marijuana-moment/ | A former GOP congressman with a long track record of opposing marijuana legalization efforts is now cashing in on the legal cannabis industry.
FSD Pharma, a Canadian company that is a licensed producer of “pharmaceutical grade cannabis” through its subsidiary FV Pharma and researches cannabinoid-based therapies, announced on Friday that former Rep. Steve Buyer (R-IN) joined its board of directors. Missing from the press release is mention of his legislative history that includes repeated actions to oppose federal protections for state-level marijuana reforms.
From 1998 to 2000, Buyer cosponsored two resolutions and one bill aimed at condemning legalization and upholding federal prohibition. His opposition extended to limited medical cannabis reforms, too, voting five times from 2003 to 2007 against an amendment to protect state laws and the patients and providers complying with them from federal prosecution.
“[I]t is the intent of the Congress to supersede any and all laws of the States and units of local government insofar as they may now or hereafter effectively permit or purport to authorize the use, growing, manufacture, distribution, or importation by an individual or group of marijuana or any controlled substance which differs from the provisions of the Controlled Substances Act and the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act or regulations issued pursuant thereto,” it read.
It’s not quite clear what changed for Buyer, but his appointment to the board of a major marijuana company that has benefitted from the successful reform movement he opposed is sure to raise questions.
Hours later, Saeed clarified that he intended to send that reply to another journalist.
The former congressman has been on “a very personal journey, with his wife being plagued with an auto-immune disease that has no cure and others in her family also that suffer from auto-immune diseases,” Bokhari said.
He added that Buyer has personally invested a quarter of a million dollars in the company and compared him to former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who also joined the marijuana industry after opposing cannabis reform while serving in Congress.
Shortly after retiring, Buyer joined tobacco company Reynolds American as a lobbyist and paid consultant.
There have been several reports that noted Buyer’s decision not to run for reelection in 2010 came amid controversy over a foundation he founded. The Frontier Foundation was supposed to provide educational funding for students, but while it raked in tens of thousands from pharmaceutical interests such as Ely Lilly and PhRMA over a three-year period, it reportedly hadn’t distributed a single scholarship.
His retirement came months after USA Today and the Indianapolis Star reported on the foundation’s activities.
But now, Buyer is entering the cannabis space, and the company described his experience in the pharmaceutical industry and Congress as an asset.
Buyer also previously served as a special assistant U.S. attorney and an Indiana deputy attorney general.
This story has been updated to include additional comment from FSD Pharma’s CEO.

48b35a60c466474506f850a5c744cc82 | The transition to flowering is an essential step in the plant life cycle that is controlled by multiple endogenous and environmental cues, including hormones, sugars, temperature, and photoperiod. not only with FT but also with other members roles in SD (Yamaguchi et al., 2005). Other members of the PEBP protein family, most prominently TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1), oppose the flower-promoting function of TSF and FT, and repress flowering. The Arabidopsis ortholog of CENTRORADIALIS (ATC) offers been shown to do something like a SD-induced floral inhibitor that’s expressed mainly in the vasculature, but was undetectable in the SAM (Huang et al., 2012). Furthermore, ATC continues to be suggested to go long distances and may connect to FD to inhibit (can be strongly indicated in the leaf vasculature, can connect to FD in the nucleus, interfering with Feet function under high salinity by inhibiting manifestation, therefore delaying flowering (Yoo et al., 2010; Ryu et al., 2014). TFL1 differs from Feet just in 39 nonconserved proteins Sorafenib but Sorafenib as stated above, comes with an opposing natural function: TFL1 represses flowering while Feet can be a floral promoter (Ahn et al., 2006). It’s been proven that substitutions of an individual amino Csta acidity (TFL1-H88; FT-Y85) or exchange from the section B encoded from the 4th exon are adequate to impose TFL1-like activity onto FT, and vice versa (Hanzawa et al., 2005; Ahn et al., 2006; Weigel and Ho, 2014). Just like Feet, TFL1 interacts with FD also, both in yeast-2-cross assays aswell as in vegetable nuclei (Wigge et al., 2005; Goto and Hanano, 2011). Collectively, these findings claim that activating FD-FT and repressive FD-TFL1 complexes compete for binding towards the same focus on genes (Ahn et al., 2006). This hypothesis can be further supported from the observation that TFL1 evidently works to Sorafenib repress transcription (Hanano and Goto, 2011), whereas Feet seems to work as a transcriptional (co)activator (Wigge et al., 2005). Nevertheless, evidence these protein complexes actually share interactors such as for example 14-3-3 proteins, or control the same focuses on, continues to be sparse. FD continues to be reported as a primary and indirect regulator of essential flowering period and floral homeotic genes such as for example ((((regulation. Indeed, it’s been suggested that manifestation of could be straight promoted from the FD-FT complicated (Lee and Lee, 2010). Nevertheless, manifestation could be triggered individually from FD-FT most likely through the SPL3 also, SPL4, and SPL5 proteins (Moon et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2009; Lee and Lee, 2010), which were been shown to be straight or indirectly triggered from the FD-FT complicated (Jung et al., 2012). The activation of floral homeotic genes such as for example and in response to FD-FT activity in the SAM can at least partly be explained by the direct activation of the floral meristem identify gene through SOC1 (Moon et al., 2005; Yoo et al., 2005; Jung et al., 2012). In addition, it has also been proposed that the FD-FT complex can promote the expression. | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2020-07-02T09:01:09.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

No. Please god, no.
Live action game movies do not end well.
YIKES!
I'm never prepared for this feeling of dread... Whether it's Dragon Ball Evolution, the KOF movie, whatever, my reaction is always the same breathless "oh no..." when I learn of its existence.
No thank you.
If it's not animated, than no thanks. Mega Man doesn't belong in live action.
these are dark times
This is whithout a doubt the darkest timeline.
Why so serious?!?!!
I hear complaints all the time about lack of content and no games and nothing but merchandise from Capcom. We get news of a movie and everyone is sad face emoji??
People put some good vibes in the air. Let's put some good thoughts out into the universe and let's hope these guys love the character as much as we do.
Are you serious? you are so naive
Clicked the link, read the synopsis of Catfish.
All I can say is… dark times are indeed ahead.
This in conjunction with the cartoon is going to be the final nail in the coffin for the franchise.
RIP megaman you had a good run.
Oh good Lord.
The Super Mario movie didn't killed Mario. Neither Street Fighter movies killed Street Fighter.
And Sonic Boom didn't kill Sonic.
A bad movie is just a bad movie, drama queens.
Let's see that when this movie will be released so that we may see what's inside the movie..!!
Well... At the very least it can't be worse than the Avatar (The Last Airbender) movie adaptation. Right?
They would have to work hard to make a it as bad as Last Airbender.
Just when you thought they couldn't dishonor Megaman's memory anymore, they dig up his corpse and resume dragging it through crap.
Do keep in mind that Chernin Entertainment(the studio actually making the film, Fox is just publishing) made smash hits like the Planet of the apes reboot and the Best Picture Nominee "Hidden Figures". Don't freak out just yet, this has a chance!
yeah this has a chance, to be a complete crap
Hope they make a Kickstarter
I could see an X live action movie being done well, but not classic. It just doesn't suit the medium well.
Maybe they'll lift the plot for the movie from The Megas' albums instead of the games.
#Kappa
Live Action Movie can kill Megaman, you know? They did kill Super Mario, Double Dragons, Street Figthers, and more.
Please, not Live Action Megaman Movie... it can ruin everything in my life! Even our memory, too!
let's stick to animation and not try the live action card guys
if a company like dreamworks can turn something as silly as "captain underpants" into a actually good movie (yes I saw it, it was good, hate on me all you want) why not have dreamworks make an animated megaman film? | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2019-07-16T03:16:07.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

Abstract
Biomineralization in the marine phytoplankton Emiliania huxleyi is a stringently controlled intracellular process. The molecular basis of coccolith production is still relatively unknown although its importance in global biogeochemical cycles and varying sensitivity to increased pCO2 levels has been well documented. This study looks into the role of several candidate Ca2+, H+ and inorganic carbon transport genes in E. huxleyi, using quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR. Differential gene expression analysis was investigated in two isogenic pairs of calcifying and non-calcifying strains of E. huxleyi and cultures grown at various Ca2+ concentrations to alter calcite production. We show that calcification correlated to the consistent upregulation of a putative HCO3- transporter belonging to the solute carrier 4 (SLC4) family, a Ca2+/H+ exchanger belonging to the CAX family of exchangers and a vacuolar H+-ATPase. We also show that the coccolith-associated protein, GPA is downregulated in calcifying cells. The data provide strong evidence that these genes play key roles in E. huxleyi biomineralization. Based on the gene expression data and the current literature a working model for biomineralization-related ion transport in coccolithophores is ! | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2019-08-17T23:48:48.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
8643c5cf788b97a9729e1a95ac068413 | A framework for effective implementation of lean production in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
Abstract
Purpose: The present paper aims at developing an effective framework including all the components necessary for implementing lean production properly in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
Design/methodology/approach: The paper begins with the review of the main existing framework of lean implementation in order to highlight shortcomings in the literature through a lack of suitable framework for small companies. To overcome this literature gap, data of successful initiatives of lean implementation were collected based on a multiple case study approach. These initiatives has been juxtaposed in order to develop a new, practical and effective framework that includes all the components (process, tools, success factors) that are necessary to implement lean in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
Findings: The proposed framework presents many significant contributions: First, it provides an overcoming for the limitations of the existing frameworks by proposing for consultants, researchers and organizations an effective framework for lean implementation in SMEs that allows SMEs to benefit from competitive advantages gained by lean. Second, it brings together a set of the more essential and critical elements of lean implementation commonly used by SMEs and derived from the practical experiences of them in lean implementation. Finally, it highlights the successful experiences of small companies in implementing lean programs and then proves that lean can give a relevant results even for SMEs.
Research limitations/implications: The proposed framework presents a number of limitations and still evokes extension for further researches: Although it was derived from practical experiences of SMEs, the proposed framework is not supported by practical implementation. On the other hand and even though the elements in the proposed framework from the practical experiences of four SMEs, the identified elements need to be generalized and enriching by conducting a survey to identify more elements that are also commonly used in SMEs.
Practical implications: Implementing rigorously the proposed framework will help small companies’ managers to improve considerably their organization’s performance and benefits from lean strategies outcomes. Researches and practitioners in small businesses now possess an integral framework for successfully implementing lean strategies.
Originality/value: To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first work that proposes an effective lean implementation framework believed to be easy to understund, practical and suitable for small companies. In short, this study is a real quantum leap to resolve the problematic unanswered of lean implementation in SMEs.

aff6bc317bb02448cd92fc71672a4cdf | If you are a [H]ard|OCP reader, you are more than familiar with Cooler Master's products. The company has spent the past 20 years delivering quality products to enthusiasts and gamers around the globe. Whether it be cases, power supplies, gaming peripherals, or cooling products, Cooler Master has something for just about everyone in a variety of price ranges. Today we are reviewing the Cooler Master Elite 110 Mini-ITX Case.
The company claims that, while this is the smallest case in the Elite line, the Cooler Master Elite 110 Mini-ITX Case still supports standard sized desktop components. A bold claim given the size of this mini-ITX chassis.
Given that this chassis has no external drive bay opening for an optical drive, we think Cooler Master billing the Elite 110 a "cube style" case intended as a LAN box or HTPC is spot on. In fact, if you can't get by without an optical drive in your system, you might as well stop reading now. Everyone else, feel free to continue along with us as we evaluate this tiny chassis.
The Cooler Master Elite 110 arrived in its bare product packaging with no signs of wear or damage. The overall package measurements are 10.5"H x 12.5"L x 13.5"W and is constructed of double-walled corrugated cardboard that is glued along the seams.
The outside of the plain cardboard packaging is adorned with product information, name and company logo, all printed in black. The case itself is wrapped in a plastic bag and held in place by Styrofoam inserts. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-21T01:17:01Z | c4 |

Lesson in Megabytes
by Bruce Barrow
(Reprinted with permission from the January 1997 issue of the
IEEE Standards Bearer)
Once upon a time, computer professionals noticed that 2.10 was
very nearly equal to 1000 and started using the metric prefix "kilo"
to mean 1024. That worked well enough for a decade or two because
everybody who talked kilobytes knew that the term implied 1024 bytes.
But, almost overnight, a much more numerous "everybody" bought
computers, and the true 1
048 576 bytes, but the manufacturers of computer storage devices
usually use the term to mean bytes. Some designers of local area
networks have used megabit per second to mean 1 048 576 b/s, but all
telecommunications engineers use it to mean 10.6 b/s. And if two
definitions of the megabyte are not enough, a third megabyte of 1 024
000 bytes is the megabyte used to format the familiar metric prefixes. Mega will mean 1 000 000, except
that the base-two definition may be used during an interim period if
such usage is explicitly pointed out on a case-by-case basis.
Standards Coordinating Committee (SCC14) for Quantities, Units and
Letter Symbols, has begun to work with the Computer Society, the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to find acceptable
names for prefixes that are related to powers of two. A proposal
being circulated internationally would introduce the new prefixes
kibi, mebi, gibi and tebi derived as short unions of the metric
prefixes with the word "binary." The proposed new prefix symbols are
Ki, Mi, Gi and Ti. Thus we would have a gibibyte of 2.30 bytes and a
gigabyte of 10.9 bytes, and the 3-1/2 inch diskette would be
formatted for 1440 KiB. (The 3-1/2 inch diskette is really, truly a
mm diskette, but that is a question for another day.) | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2015-02-27T04:00:36.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

https://manyachylinski.com/questions-to-ask-yourself-what-is-my-story/ | Storytelling is a key part of the human experience. We are meaning-making creatures and we use stories to make sense of the world around us. I mean, only humans share their histories, their achievements, and their dreams, for the purpose of either memorializing the experience, entertaining or educating others. This is the basis of our humanness, how our religions, our societal structures, our ethics and morals are developed.
But why tell a story about something traumatic? Many people think it’s best to try to forget about what happened to you, to put it in the past and not relive it, over and over again. However, the science of healing disagrees with this common misconception. In fact, it has been proven that those who tell their stories usually heal faster and experience fewer symptoms (anxiety, depression, guilt, anger) than those who don’t find a way to share their stories. In a 1988 study by Dr. James Pennebaker, trauma survivors writing about a traumatic event experienced fewer physical symptoms of stress and anxiety than those who did not.
Your experiences have shaped who you are today. Not one of us can experience anything extraordinary, much less traumatic, without having that event (or series of events) change who we are. But there are also parts of the story which you may feel are insignificant to your life today that you may want to push aside. This is one of the reasons you should tell your story. Facing the event, looking those feelings straight in the eye, helps them fade quickly.
First of all, there is no right or wrong answer to what part of your story you tell. You get to choose which portions to share. If you aren’t sure where to start, start with the parts of the event or trauma that could be used to teach others. Or the part that has remained with you. With trauma, it’s common for your brain to get stuck in one area (i.e. whatever frightened you the most or had the most effect on you) and you may have a hard time finding other parts of the story to tell. Or understanding which parts of your story may be the most powerful.
How much detail do you want to tell? There may be a fine line between what needs to be told to set the scene for the event and the details you remember.
How much background do you know? Can sharing the background (about you, events leading up to the event, etc.) bring sense to the story?
Do you want to tell the story from the point of view of a victim or a survivor? Each has something to teach.
Will you relive the story while telling it? Are you emotionally prepared—how far in your healing have you come—for walking back in time?
You are not just a singular event. Explore regrets and successes and how your life led up to this point.
You can look for different methods of telling the story of the most difficult fragments—perhaps writing in a journal is less intimidating than writing a story you intend to share with others. You may feel comfortable sharing it online, in a support group, or even in person with a therapist or close friend. Remember, you are in charge. Whether you are talking to the media or sharing your story publicly some other way, you get to choose what to reveal.
When you do tackle that most difficult portion, you may be drained, as though you have relived the experience. You have just climbed the emotional equivalent of Mt. Everest. Allow yourself time to relax, practice some self-care (spoil yourself) for reaching the summit!

https://www.thewealthrecord.com/celebs-bio-wiki-salary-earnings-2019-2020-2021-2022-2023-2024-2025/actor/clint-eastwood-net-worth/ | Clint Eastwood is a renowned man as far as the entertainment industry is concerned. This celebrity earned public recognition after appearing in Rawhide, Dirty Harry Films, and others. Other than the entertainment industry, he has also contributed in the country’s politics. Behind this successful man, there is the story of how a boy’s dream became true. Continue reading to understand the life and the net worth of Clint Eastwood in 2020.
Clint Eastwood is the son of Ruth Wood and Clinton Eastwood Sr. After his birth, the hospital’s nurses nicknamed him Samson following his significant birth weight, 5.2 kg. He came into this world in 1930, 31st May San Francisco, California.
When growing up, he spent most of his days with his younger sister, Jeanne Bernhardt. He has multiple ancestries. Due to his father’s job back in the 1930s, their family often moved. In the 1940s up to the early 1950s, the family appeared to have settled in Piedmont, California.
During his early years, he attended Piedmont Middle School where he recorded poor grades. Education may be the key to success but not to everyone. He later joined Piedmont High School. After a while, he was expelled from the school. He then transferred to the Oakland Technical high school. After school, he tried to get himself to Seattle University but was unfortunate not to get a place.
Clint Eastwood romantic relationships have been open since the years. His first marriage was with Maggie Johnson. Their marriage was open hence Clint was often seen with other women. He had some kids with other women who he gave up for adoption and others that are taken care of by their mothers. Johnson could not take it anymore and decided to get divorced. In 1975, Sandra Locke was openly seen with Clint. However, their relationship ended after Sandra discovered his other affairs. Clint in 1996 married Dina Ruiz, but their relationship ended in 2013.
The road to success is never easy. After high school, Clint settled for various jobs. His Hollywood career kicked off when the Universal Company enterprising assistant invited Eastwood to have a word with the director. Chuck Hill was impressed with Eastwood and through other contacts organized an audition. However, after all the struggle he was disapproved due to his weird skills. They also suggested that he should go to drama school. In 1954, he received a minor contract which earned him $100 in every week.
Clint received critics from his colleagues due to his weird talking skills. He later settled for other auditions which were unsuccessful. Jack Arnold gave a minor role to Clint which became his breakthrough. After that, he appeared in multiple films and directed some of them.
His career path had challenges, but he faced all this with courage and determination. He has received awards and Nominations in his directing, producing and acting work. In politics, he has served Carmel-by-the-Sea, California as the mayor. In the 2012 presidential election, he supported Barack Obama.
Clint Eastwood has a net worth of $400 million. This amount is thanks to his career as a director, producer, actor, and politician. He is an influential director and producer who has taken filming to a new level. Clint owns multiple properties and cars. With several decades in the entertainment industry, Clint Eastwood was destined for greatness. Imagine his early years’ struggles and what he has achieved in his late years.
People are different and have different dreams. Clint Eastwood was poor in class, but that did not stop his later successes. Despite his challenges in filming, he became a successful and outstanding person. Clint Eastwood is a significant mentor to many filming artists.

https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hit-movie-review-vishwak-sen | HIT, directed by Sailesh Kolanu and starring Vishwak Sen, Ruhani Sharma and Murli Sharma is taut, relentless and intelligent. Vivek Sagar’s music gives it a film noir feel that’s hard to shake off till hours after the film. Actor Nani, who turns producer for this film bet on the right detective movie.
Vikram, played by Vishwak Sen, is a detective on the Homicide Intervention Team (HIT). He goes through the entire gamut of forensics, hunches, chases and frustrating delays. There are no bells and whistles to these sequences. No OTT graphics or stylised montages. Everything, from collecting blood and DNA samples, to a polygraph test, is matter-of-fact. You are not in awe of the technology, nor blown away by the science. But the sheer magnitude of work involved in an investigation hits you. There’s an army at work, and it is Vikram who drives it and gives it impetus and direction.
As Vikram goes deeper into the labyrinth of clues, his post-traumatic stress bubbles to the surface. Vishwak Sen’s nervous energy - which was in full display in Falaknuma Das - binds the audience to his journey, and equally, to his disturbing past.
The thing about murder mysteries or thriller films is that they stoke the investigator in you, the audience. But unlike the detective on screen, you don’t look for clues. What you keep your eyes peeled for, are cracks in the plot, lapses in building the suspense. And, loose ends.
As Vishwak Sen’s frustration grows, in the absence of a clear lead, so does the audience’s admiration for the relentless plot. The writing is flawless. The accents are bang on, the performances on pitch. And there are no cracks, lapses or loose ends in the story.
Vivek Sagar’s music, as I mentioned, is paisa vasool. It builds and swings in tandem with the emotions of the protagonist. It rises suddenly, then stops mid-note as he comes to a panic attack. And it flits easily between blues and electronica.
Ruhani Sharma, who plays Vishwak Sen’s lover, and Murli Sharma who plays a constable, are both under-utilised. Ruhani’s performance in Chi La Sow was brilliant, and Murli is by far one of the most versatile actors who has done inspiring work in both Bollywood and Tollywood. Both needed more space, more lines, more consideration.
In a sense, the story and even the visuals revolve almost entirely around Vikram and his associate Rohit, as they grind through a mountain of clues. The occasional cutaways in the city are all too brief and do nothing for the story.
HIT is one hell of a debut for the director, and a movie you can take home and chew on. | 2023-04-08T16:59:47.361444+00:00 | 2020-04-07T01:02:51Z | common-crawl |
http://dioneaorcini.com/medieval-more-info2/ | Saint Rita of Cascia, also known as the Saint of Impossible Miracles, was born in 1831 in Roccaporena, Italy. She married a violent man at an early age and endured abuse and suffering for eighteen years. Eventually, a feuding family murdered her husband; shortly after his death, both of her sons died as well. Heartbroken and exhausted by the loss of her sons and many years of pain, she sought refuge in the convent of the Augustinian nuns.
The rose gold cross pendant was inspired by Saint Rita’s life and miracles. It is inlayed with Mother of Pearl, set with pavé diamonds encircling a single emerald, and placed atop the rose gold royal orb. Saint Rita’s prayer is engraved within the orb. The efficacy of her prayers is venerated due to the various miracles attributed to her intercession. | 2023-04-10T09:10:33.613150+00:00 | 2020-02-23T14:13:12Z | common-crawl |
6f2876e9f377fc44d624827a0610ffed | People often look to the past with nostalgia when they look at their personal photos.
They also look at the past with a scholarly eye when they study history.
But there is nothing like bringing back the past, even one you aren't connected to, by walking through a cemetery. If you do it with the right mind set, it becomes a very personal experience.
The last few weeks I have been spending a lot of time in cemeteries around this area. It's not that I have known a lot of people who have passed away and have been attending funerals recently. Instead I have been doing research for the upcoming "In honor of those who gave their all" special section that we are going to publish in the Sun Advocate on Nov, 9.
Due to the number of servicemen killed in war time that we have so little information about, I have been studying the gravestones in the county, trying to learn more about these people who gave their most precious possession to keep us free.
In the past I have spent some time in cemeteries, but aside from visiting relatives graves, generally it was a curiosity for me to read headstones. But I have gained a new appreciation for people from the past by strolling around and taking photos of veterans grave sites, and in the meantime seeing every other headstone in most of the local cemeteries as well.
It's easy for us to forget that the past just isn't a bunch of stories we read in a book or films we see on television. Those characters described in the written word or appearing on the screen in documentaries were real people; they lived and breathed, they had kids, they had careers, they had beliefs, they had lives.
In the rush to live our lives we sometimes forget that our existence, and much of what we have and enjoy, from our freedom to our technology, is built on those people's actions from the past. At times it appears that humankind has made great advancements all in one swoop, but that has seldom, if ever happened. What we see in our world today is largely a result of preceding generations work and sacrifice.
Maybe I am more touched by all this now that I am reaching toward senior citizenship than I would have been had I done this 30 years ago when I was in my 20's. But it seems to me that today, people forget that they have a legacy. For many it seems that all that counts is how many toys they can accumulate, how big a house they can have and what car they can drive. Yet in a hundred years will anyone else care about what model of BMW a certain person drove in 2006?
While I am not from this place, reading headstones of mine accident victims from the 1920's, babies who died in the 1930's, war casualties from the 1940's, car accident victims from the 1970's, veterans of great conflicts who are now dying of old age in the last few years and all the others before, since and in between, has brought closer to a community which I have adopted as my own, and now call home.
While it is true that we can do nothing to change the past, and we can't predict what may happen in the future, we can make an effort in the present to understand the legacy of the people who came before us and how it relates to our present. What everyone of the people who lay at peace in our local cemeteries did in their lives has consequence on us today. That effect may be everything from laying the brick wall in the building in which we work to voting for an elected official who had an effect on the laws of our land. They may have saved someones life who affected us directly or taught someone in school who later touched our lives.
But it doesn't matter what they did. Their lives affect us today, and their legacy is much greater than what car they drove or what house they lived in. Their lives are intertwined with ours in so many ways.
Don't you think we should all should get to know them a little better? | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2015-02-27T04:25:07.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

https://www.crashbell.com/single-post/2018/03/05/How-we-are-connectedEntanglement | There was once a time that we as a collective all lived as one. Whaaaaat? Yes, this is absolutely true for all things. Rocks, stars, snails, an amoeba, particles of elements, trees, we can go on forever. And that is just earth. So can you imagine the possibilities that we once were? Can you see it? A tiny concentration of light with the power of infinity inside of it. Completing the understanding of itself from the inner perspective, but is there more? Is there an infinite number of ideas to explore, in all aspect of creation. What does that mean? Could there be more than just creating consciousness? Could all things be explored? Then, BOOM! An explosion erupts, creating chaos and peace all at the same time. A violent force of particles expanding at rapid speeds evolving and colliding into one another. Meanwhile, smaller particles have also formed from this big bang. They rush on coasting in peace across this expanding space. Now Consciousness is eager to understand how to have a viewpoint of each part of itself as it expands. It has created a potential for all types of energy. Some we know of and others we have no capacity to understand. The light that is reflected is the only true creation, all else is a mere illusion of that light.
Whichever form the light chooses to take, whether waves, particles, elements or solid objects. Its all potential energy created into a type of light. This means that the only thing that there is, is thought that is transformed into light. So the entanglement of this illusion of a reality we have is that we all spawn from the same Source. Which explains that we are all the same thing that is now many things. The Source of this intelligence is the only thing that is experiencing, which in truth we are that thing. We have just been made to forget so that we have a fixated idea on the reality we call real.
When we look at all things from our outer perspective down to the smallest detail in our bodies. We see that we are a complex structure of life that is from codes and light formations. Each reality in our body is its own. The cells are only being cells. Just as the chromosomes and the DNA that they are made of are two different realities. The Atoms are the physical code that is aligned to create our entire reality. In order to understand the truth you must see the depth of what you truly are. You are a god body that is creating an infinite number of life forces. Each working to give you a body and a conscious experience of truth. This is your own truth. Mine is my own, and each of us has free will to choose. It is proven that we all have an effect on the world around us into time and space, and a connection to each other that we can detect with our technology.
The energetic output that is released is connected and will change every atom in every part of our world and universe. From the inner to the outer. We are all connected no matter how far you think you are from something. The idea in which we need to grasp is the patterns and energies experienced. Observing how we react or respond to what it is that we feel is reality is the lesson and reason we are here. So how you treat yourself and the world around you will not only have a direct impact on what you are experiencing, but also the universe that is around you. If you could see and feel the energy that is expelling off of your physical body you would then understand how to change and create different habits and understanding for yourself. Usually, we do the opposite, which is allowing the physical reality to determine how we feel and respond to the said conditions. A perfect example of entanglement because it shows how the patterns that are in your life are the realities you create. Some call it karma because it keeps you and certain people in the same space. This could be positive or negative.
In order to gain control of your life and reality is to have a comprehension of what truly is and what is manufactured to be true by our education and social agendas. We must see the big picture and not the focused problem or idea of life. Be open-minded to the potential that you are more than what you have been told. Then allow yourself to let go of the lies associated with our common beliefs. You and everything in this universe are deeply connected by a force that is created to experience what it is to be you. Why you chose you and why your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you can build. This will show you how we are a unit of expression. So how we treat each other shapes and forms our world. From the smallest particle to the largest star, we are all the same and consciously connected. Entangled through various realities and infinite distances within our time and space paradigm.
Here is a description by Greg Braden explaining the evidence we have of entanglement. | 2023-04-10T10:15:46.267657+00:00 | 2020-02-23T08:24:10Z | common-crawl |
http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:775758 | With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) it has become clear that radio-frequency (RF) designers have to be aware of power constraints, e.g., in the design of simplistic ultra-low power receivers often used as wake-up radios (WuRs). The objective of this work, one of the first systematic studies of power bounds for RF-systems, is to provide an overview and intuitive feel for how power consumption and sensitivity relates for low-power receivers. This was done by setting up basic circuit schematics for different radio receiver architectures to find analytical expressions for their output signal-to-noise ratio including power consumption, bandwidth, sensitivity, and carrier frequency. The analytical expressions and optimizations of the circuits give us relations between dc-energy-per-bit and receiver sensitivity, which can be compared to recent published low-power receivers. The parameter set used in the analysis is meant to reflect typical values for an integrated 90 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor fabrication processes, and typical small sized RF lumped components.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the interim plea of mining major Vedanta Ltd seeking permission to inspect its Sterlite copper unit at Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu, which has been it is polluting or not.% of copper demand of the country.
“Allow us to run (the plant) for four weeks and it can be proved whether we are polluting beyond the point,” Singhvi told the bench, also comprising Justices Navin Sinha and K.M. the interim plea of Vedanta cannot be allowed, said that final hearing in the matter can be heard after physical hearing starts in the apex court.
In August, last year set aside the National Green Tribunal order that allowed opening of Sterlite plant.
During the hearing conducted on Wednesday through video-conferencing, Singhvi told the bench that the plant can be allowed to be run on an experimental basis as its closure for over two year is a huge national wastage .
“In 1994, I (Vedanta) got the permission and I started in 1997 and gave employment to around 4,000 people,” Singhvi said, adding, “It appears that the respondent (Tamil Nadu) doesn’t want to allow its operation.”
He said 30 recommendations have been made by the central and state pollution control boards.
Closure was ordered on a PIL (public interest litigation). The pollution control boards made 30 recommendations and 29 were complied with and the District Collector had said that emission was within the emissions norms, Singhvi said, adding that steps were taken as knee jerk reactions due to some agitation.
Senior advocate C.S. Vaidayanathan, appearing for Tamil Nadu government, said that the plant has been polluting consistently and it has only worsened after it was allowed to run by the apex court earlier
Till such time these findings of high court on pollution are set aside, it cannot be allowed to run, he said.
Senior advocate K.V. Vishwanathan, who also appeared for the state authorities, said Vedanta’s plea seeking re-opening of the plant has been rejected eight times by the court. | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2021-01-15T20:40:28.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
d257369539a094281252bed2578ab293 | Pensa Survey Finds Top DevOps Barriers Involve Cost, Complexity and Legacy IT
IT Managers Are Deploying Infrastructure Components Across a Wide Range of Cloud Platforms
Mountain View, Calif., October 4, 2017 – Pensa, the provider of intelligent SaaS technology to simplify the delivery of complete virtual data centers, has released a new survey of IT executives about their DevOps technology platforms and the biggest challenges they face in the adoption of DevOps practices.
More than 200 IT decision-makers took the Pensa survey online during the month of September. All respondents are actively involved in and familiar with DevOps strategies, although most said they are still trying to overcome multiple hurdles on their DevOps journeys. (Please see a DevOps Survey Infographic link here:.)
Some of the high-level findings from the Pensa DevOps survey results include:
• Limited budgets were cited as the top barrier to DevOps success by 19.7% of respondents; followed closely by the constraints of legacy systems (17.2%); application complexity (12.8%); difficulty managing multiple environments (11.3%); and company culture (9.4%).
• Other barriers for DevOps projects were ranked as roughly a tie between the challenges of testing automation (7.9%); limited IT skills (7.9%); and the lack of executive buy-in (7.4%), which is closely related to company culture.
• For DevOps projects underway this year, survey respondents are mostly active on public clouds including Microsoft Azure (30.5%) and Amazon Web Services (26.6). Many others are using virtualization platforms including VMware virtualization (19.2%); Microsoft virtualization (15.3%); and OpenStack (7.4%).
• The current infrastructure trend is expected to remain similar in three years, when the most-used DevOps platforms are expected to be Microsoft Azure, according to 31.0% of respondents; followed by AWS (24.6%); VMware virtualization (19.2%); Microsoft virtualization (17.2%); and OpenStack (3.9%).
• Fully 35.0% of respondents are driven by a need to deploy applications once a day or several times a day; followed by those who deploy apps once a week or more (24.1%); once every few weeks (16.7%); or once a month or greater (24.2%).
• A majority 51.7% of respondents said it takes them hours to set up infrastructure for specific applications, compared to just 11.8% who said it takes them minutes to spin up new application environments. Another 35.0% said it takes them days or even weeks to set up the needed infrastructure.
• More than half of those surveyed (60.1%) said it is somewhat easy or very easy to access self-service infrastructure; compared to 26.1% who were neutral on their self-service access; and 12.8% who said it is somewhat difficult to access self-service infrastructure.
“Our initial DevOps survey reveals the biggest barriers to DevOps success involve the cost and complexity of transforming legacy IT environments into complete software-defined data centers, including compute, networking, storage, security, and applications,” said Pensa CEO Tom Joyce. “We also found that IT managers are committed to deploying DevOps on a range of platforms including public cloud, private cloud and on-premise virtualization, rather than being beholden to any single DevOps platform.”
Pensa’s core technology, Pensa Maestro, is a cloud-based system that enables enterprises to rapidly create multi-vendor, multi-platform software-based IT environments to support any application in a secure manner.
Pensa today announced the company’s formal launch, including the appointment of Pensa Chief Executive Officer Tom Joyce, a former senior executive of Dell, Hewlett-Packard and EMC. Pensa also announced that it has closed its Series A financing round for an undisclosed amount, led by March Capital Partners. Pensa was seed funded by The Fabric, an investment group that works with early stage entrepreneurs in cloud, networking and next-generation infrastructure. | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2017-11-17T19:27:03.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
https://www.rotoworld.com/article/week-ahead/week-ahead-i-wanna-go-fast | Welcome to another MLB season, and another year of The Week Ahead! Like seasons past, we’ll be looking at the coming fantasy baseball week as we evaluate recent developments, two-start pitching options, streamer recommendations, MLB schedules, and injuries.
The sections in today’s Week Ahead will be briefer, if present at all, as MLB play starts on a Thursday this season, and most starting rotations aren’t set in stone yet. That said, there are still plenty of notes to discuss as another eventful spring training concludes.
Last year’s initial article discussed the potential importance of fastball velocity during spring training, and Zack Greinke’s reported decline in velocity led the way. As Houston Astros Director of Research and Development discovered during his days as a writer, spring training velocity changes can be clairvoyant.
While Greinke did lose some velocity last season (1.2 mph), he still managed to have a very good year. With the addition of the humidor at Chase Field, the hope was that Greinke could take yet another step forward this season. However, the reports of Greinke’s velocity loss are even more drastic, and he’s also been nursing a groin injury recently.
This is certainly something to watch, and Greinke’s draft position has also lost steam in some drafts due to the negative press. Last year’s velocity loss and subsequent strong year shows that we shouldn’t overreact to this spring’s decline, and the price could be right for the former Cy Young winner. If it’s any indication, the experts in Tout Wars didn’t buy Greinke for much of a discount on Saturday, as he went for $18 in 15-team mixed and $24 in 12-team NL-only.
-Jeff Zimmerman (@jeffwzimmerman) has been compiling spring training pitcher fastball velocities, which is certainly a nice resource when combined with spring training performance. Keep in mind these are small sample sizes, but there are a few pitchers who jump out.
-Amir Garrett was clocked between 95-97 mph on February 25 after averaging less than 92 mph on his fastball last season. It’s no secret that the lefty was terrible in his rookie season for the Reds last year, but he also was nursing a hip injury that required a plasma injection. Garrett’s rookie season opened with only four runs allowed and 21/3 K/BB in 21.2 innings over his first three starts. This spring he’s allowed only two runs in 13 innings with 15/3 K/BB, all but solidifying his spot in the starting rotation. The performance isn’t out of nowhere for the former college basketball player at St. John’s who had a 2.55 ERA in 144.2 innings between Double- and Triple-A in 2016. I’ve taken a flier on Garrett in almost every league possible so far.
-It’s not surprising that Chad Bettis lost velocity last season after undergoing treatment for testicular cancer, but he looked rejuvenated when clocked during his start on March 2. Many fantasy owners are scared off by Rockies pitchers, and for good reason, but Bettis was a decent NL-only option in 2015-16 with a combined 22 wins, 4.57 ERA, and 1.41 WHIP over 52 starts. He could be a nice fill-in in that format again this year.
-Junior Guerra is quietly having a very good spring after a forgettable 2017 season. He has a 3.15 ERA in 20 innings with 16/5 K/BB, and we saw a big velocity uptick on March 20 of nearly three mph compared to last season. Guerra’s velocity declined last season, but he was a surprise performer in 2016 with a 2.81 ERA in 20 starts. Is Guerra back? He might be worth a flier to find out.
-Kyle Freeland has been throwing bullets this spring, showing significantly increased velocity in his three starts recorded by Brooksbaseball.net. The groundball lefty was a viable NL-only pitcher in his rookie season with a 4.10 ERA in 156 innings for the Rockies, but his strikeout rate hasn’t been worth a major investment. With additional velocity and 12 strikeouts in 12.2 innings this spring, maybe things are about to change.
Note: We’ll have “Going Twice…” and “Streamer City” sections here in the coming weeks, but those sections have been omitted this week without set MLB rotations for the opening week.
You can get a full listing of injured players at Rotoworld's Injury Page but here's the latest on a few prominent players who will start the year injured and/or on the DL.

d65cdd0935a6b89cfead09bae075de46 | Recorded in 1971, shortly before guitarist Peter Frampton left the band, ROCKIN' presents Humble Pie live at New York City's Fillmore East. The British blues-rock group charges through a sweaty, high-octane set (originally released as a double LP) that includes the blistering stompers "Four Day Creep," "Stone Cold Fever," and "I Don't Need No Doctor."
Although the entire ensemble is in top form on this seven-song disc, the record is a showcase for the astoundingly powerful vocals of former Small Faces frontman Steve Marriott (who, in his hard-rock mode, prefigures AC/DC's Bon Scott) and the heavy-blues riffage of Frampton (surprisingly enough, the guy could wield an axe), who would, of course, go on to record his own wildly successful concert album later in the decade.
8 comments:
I saw them on this tour in the Spring of 1971 in Minnesota.
It was at a National Guard Armory One of the greatest and loudest concerts I ever attended.
They were wonderful.
I've been a big fan of the Pie ever since.
This is a great live album and i have had this since i was a teenager.

7dec409ecf15a58b3e8b75ef6895b12d | The evil you committed against us woke us up. Thank you so much!
You did not deliver our unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) even though we paid for them. So we have produced our own UAVs. Thanks to you, today, we have become one of the largest UAV producers!
Our defense industry has obtained one of its greatest powers because of the evil you've done. Now, our army is using the tools we produce safely, and by this means it is achieving great success in its struggle against terror.
This is not all! We produced armed UAVs as well. These devices, which only a few countries in the world possess today, are produced by our own engineers with our own technology.
Thanks to the covert sanctions you imposed on drone spare parts, our patriotic engineers have worked harder and started to produce each and every part on their own.
Today we have become capable of exporting to many countries in the world.
All of this came to pass thanks to you! Good thing you didn’t deliver those devices. Thank you!
You didn’t deliver our helicopters although you were paid for them. And we have worked even harder to produce the Atak helicopters. We have a national helicopter thanks to you! Today, our troops fly safely with these helicopters, and they are succeeding in the fight against terrorism.
We will become even more powerful, skilled, and become capable of exporting helicopters to the world. Thank you!
You didn’t provide guns to our police, rifles to our soldiers and armored vehicles to our troops. So, we produced our own infantry rifle, our own guns, and our own armored vehicles. Besides, they are of such good quality that they rank among the most prominent weapons in the world.
We no longer need NATO's outdated rifles. We no longer beg for guns, rifles, armored vehicles, or wait at the door.
They're doing a whole lot of chest thumping about their defense industry but if you look at the pieces of it then you'll realize how fragile that advance is and how easily it can be turned around.
Beyond that they accuse us of being part of the coup attempt and close with the thought that ya, the US is evil but all will be forgiven if we shake hands.
I'm not buying any of this.
Turkey is hurting and this little olive branch hides the pain...almost desperation.
I'm enjoying this but wonder if instead of reveling we have an opportunity to get them to moderate a bit. A cooperative Turkey could be a real good thing. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-25T09:46:32Z | c4 |
https://goingvpn.com/free-vpn-app-for-gmail-accounts-privacy-against-hackers-2021/ | In an internet-dependent society that we’re currently in, almost everyone has their own email addresses. Oftentimes, it’s a good thing as it’s very convenient to have one. But unfortunately, a lot of hackers are also out there stealing personal information from vulnerable accounts. The good news is, we can do something about it. All we need is the best free VPN app for Gmail accounts and others. Read on to learn more.
Every social media platform, log-in website, and even online banking sites require online users to sign up or register using a Gmail address. That’s why Gmail is an all-knowing platform. It contains several of one’s valuable data that when hackers see just a tiny sign of vulnerability, it’d be easy for them to steal and breach a lot of information.
Almost every day, several Gmail accounts are being targeted by these online threats. Cyberhackers have stolen a lot of personal data like credit card information, private conversations and media contents, and social media accounts from online users.
Although the ideal solution is to not use Gmail anymore, it’s inevitable right now. But what online users can do is protect their online privacy by adding another layer of cybersecurity.
A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a software tool that aids online users in attaining online privacy. What the VPN does is organize a secure connection between the user’s device and the internet. With this, all of its users’ data will be routed through the VPN tool’s encrypted virtual tunnel. As a result, users gain total anonymity.
When you have this, online third parties like hackers won’t be able to access any of your information. Every data and activity will be hidden as if the you’re non-existent in cyberspace.
Even though having a VPN can be helpful, users must be wary on choosing what type of VPN to install and connect to. Users must first consider their web surfing routine and habits, lifestyle, and budget. Make sure that the VPN you’re downloading is suitable for your needs.
For instance, there are paid VPN apps that offer premium VPN services. These VPNs are mostly the top-rated ones so they may come off costly. But, if one is willing to spare some cash, these VPNs are the best way to go.
On the other hand, there are also users who don’t want to shell out some money for a VPN app. But, fret no more as free VPN apps are also available in the virtual market. Just make sure to do your research about free VPNs first as a number of these VPNs are flagged as sketchy and ineffective.
Fortunately, there is a trusted and reliable free VPN app for Gmail accounts that’s safe for everyone to install and connect to.
GoingVPN is one of the free VPN apps that gives out premium and high-quality VPN service to its users. GoingVPN boasts its tight encryption feature which helps users guarantee their anonymity online. Also, with GoingVPN, users can achieve maximum data privacy as this free VPN app does not sell any of its users’ data to third parties and bidders.
It has a built-in lightning-speed technology that counters all of the negative effects of the VPN encryption process. As inevitably, a slower and poorer device performance is common when one is connected to a VPN. But with GoingVPN, lags and buffers won’t be an issue.
Along with these amazing features, GoingVPN offers unlimited data bandwidth so that users will be protected on the web, at any given time. Users may even leave the GoingVPN switch ‘on’ and let the free VPN app do the work.
Enjoy these premium and high-quality VPN perks without breaking the bank.

https://www.fairystoriesandothertales.com/2019/05/ | There is a restless torment that never ceases.An unsettling that must be satisfied before it lays down to rest—but it is never satisfied, and so it never rests.
There was once a little boy whose name was Nathan and more than anything in the world he loved to dance.If they had let him, he would have danced until dawn every night—but, of course, they said he had to go to bed.
I felt magic that day, in the waking dream, when once I felt my mind break open into a thousand pieces.How could it have been otherwise, for as I sat, I dreamed of the making of the world.It happened with a care so painstaking it balanced on infinite points, all a knife’s edge, all precarious—where had I been the artist, I would have wept with the aching slowness of it all.Of what matter, I dreamed of nothing but light entwined with darkness.The one about the other, part of the languid pace.Until, all at once, the light burst.It shattered the darkness, and with it came a thousand pieces of a thousand thoughts, and my mind was filled until it could hold no more. What purpose in such a dream, I wondered, my mind raw and aching as I woke from my wide-eyed slumber.Perhaps nothing more than this: there is blessing in the slow, and the light will always shatter the dark.
There was once a woman who was ever-weeping.By day she wept, and by night.She wept with joy, and with sorrow.She wept because the clouds were high, and because they lay low.She wept when the sun shone bright, and when the rain poured down.But most of all she wept because it seemed to her that there were no more surprises left in the world.

http://www.takethehandle.com/interactive/synthly-the-best/ | Here at Synthly the Best we’ll be providing stirring synth sounds to enhance your quality of life in the bedroom, board room, and any manner of chamber found betwixt the two. For our first installment on this lovely Saturday afternoon, we launch right in with a true heavyweight: Giorgio Moroder.
Mr. Moroder is, of course, an electronic music pioneer and the veritable godfather of disco — but it’s specifically his soundtrack work that’s been dominating the turntable here at the TTH offices of late. Have a listen to “Paul’s Theme (Jogging Chase),” the opener to side B of his score to Paul Schrader’s 1982 film, Cat People. While you’re at it, be sure to say a long hello to the rain-drenched Nastassja Kinski gracing the album cover.

30e82c4ce67a8998541ef88ad0ff9da8 | Approach!
A client mentioned, in passing, that they had been to China recently, and had been hosted by the CEO and executives of the company they visited, the world leader in their field. The delegation was pleasantly surprised, as their own exco was inaccessible to them, in South Africa, land of “ubuntu”.
But then the heroes of the struggle against Apartheid have, in the main, been poor examples of ethics. They were Freedom-fighters, and I guess war does not concern itself with the same morals, systems and structures that are expected of government.
We can all too quickly become obsessed with our own profile, and the respect associated with it. In reality, we are totally dispensable. No-one is irreplaceable, as Bill Gates has proved. Since Gates left his full-time role at Microsoft to focus on his Foundation, MS has advanced dramatically. One needs only to look at the “Kinect” add-on for the X-box to see their innovative genius coming to the fore again. And I’m a Linux adherent!
What makes leaders think it’s okay to treat others as less than themselves, or afford themselves grandeur reserved for kings in past ages? American car manufacturers learned the hard way that one cannot arrive at an insolvency hearing in a company jet and expect leniency!
Who is giving us a reality-check on our attitude, business plan and vision? Who is giving us helpful feedback on our path and progress? We dare not be like Titanic, which ignored more then six messages concerning icebergs in her path, and is infamous in its legacy.
How do we treat the security personnel and the catering team? Is it worthy of emulation? If not, I fear we may have succumbed to temptation, and pride may indeed precede our fall.

53529538d84a927a0f851e2b0c1c4d9a | With an industry that’s all about looks like cosmetics, visually appealing packaging is a necessity. Makeup trends change with the seasons, and this is the same for top-quality packaging in the cosmetics industry. The most effective packaging trends rarely stay static for long.
Bold prints are going to be a big hit in 2016, especially when paired with a special texture. This makes cosmetics packaging inherently more engaging. Design can be used to convey a certain feeling. For example, French-inspired brands can include a Parisian scene to connect with the audience. In the case of products with several different shades, printing in full color gives customers a better idea of what they are buying.
Textures add something extra to packaging. Soft-touch coatings, embossing, debossing, metallic coatings, and foil stamping can make cosmetics packaging more interesting to consumers and more unique from the shelf. With so many products and different brands in this sector—many of which offer similar benefits—it’s crucial to stand out.
Many makeup lovers are looking to try new things, which is why some brands dispense samples with each order, especially when customers buy online. In many cases, these samples just come alongside the product, but a more creative way to handle samples is to include it directly in the packaging, especially if it is a related item. For example, an eye shadow palette could come with a sample of eye shadow primer embedded into the packaging design.
Not only do embedded samples add creativity to cosmetics packaging, but getting an unexpected bonus with a product will make customers feel more appreciated and keep coming back for more.
Cosmetics packages do not need to have a standard rectangular shape. Many of the top beauty brands have a unique packaging design, which can be more compelling for the audience because it sticks out from other products on the shelf.
If you’re looking for ways to revamp an existing packaging design, a structural packaging can be a great way to do it. In addition, you can incorporate unique closures, such as cartons with an inner layer. This helps make packaging more interactive.
When you work with an innovative packaging supplier like JohnsByrne, it’s possible to get a sophisticated, sleek new design for cosmetics without going over budget. Contact us to learn more.

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cheapest-rig-for-distributed-computing.3632555/ | There are a few Distributed computing programs out there.
One being Folding At Home, the other being Boinc.
Folding at home is a program that will analyze proteins and folds them. It needs tens to hundreds of thousands of computing hours, just to display a fragment of a video of only a few milliseconds long, for scientists to study.
They have a variety of diseases they study.
The other is Boinc.
Boinc is a program that runs a variety of projects, that can range from solving Mathematical problems, studying science related issues, AI, or biology, or study weather patterns, among a few...
Folding at home works best with the fastest GPUs.
If you want a fast rig? Just make sure it's relatively modern, and is equipped with at least 1x FAST GPU. And I mean FAST!
There are people running 6 to 9x RTX 2080Ti or RTX TITAN GPUs, considered one of the fastest GPUs on the market today.
You don't need to cash out that much though. With a single GTX 1650 Super, a 1660 or 1660 Ti, you can already significantly contribute!
I would not go lower than these, as FAH really is based on Quick Return Bonus, meaning, the faster the hardware, disproportionally the higher your PPD scores will be.
For Boinc, speed isn't as much of an issue, because you won't get any extra points for faster hardware.
That leaves the end user a lot more freedom to choose what hardware would work best.
For the past few years, most projects were depending on GTX 1050 to GTX 1060 hardware for GPUs, and at least a quad core CPU.
Today however, you can easily buy an AMD Ryzen 9 3000 series CPU, with 8, 12, or 16 cores + an additional threads.
The extra cores really help speed up processing the data!
To be competitive in the CPU market, you really need at least an octacore. However, currently, if you're looking for a sweet spot, it would probably be a Ryzen 3 3900X. Buying 2 entire systems (with motherboard, RAM, and watercooling) costs about the same as a Threadripper 3900 series CPU of the same amount of threads.
GPU wise, most projects now focus their WUs on an RTX 2060 to RTX 2070.
Faster is better, but you'll have some configuration manipulation to do, to make them run as efficient as possible.
GPUs will always crunch data faster than CPUs.
Even the fastest Threadripper CPU, is only capable of processing data about as fast as a budget GTX 1050, or 1060 GPU.
For that reason, most people support Boinc with GPUs.
Projects that give the highest points scores, are mathematic projects, like GPUGrid, PrimeGrid, and The Collatz Conjecture.
These projects are for "PPD hunters". They don't really contribute much to science.
Projects that quite often offer the most contribution to Science, are the CPU projects.
If your aim is a high position on the PPD scoreboard, go for GPUs.
If your aim is a higher contribution to science that matters, spend a little more to the CPU instead.
"So why not AMD?", you may ask?
AMD is still a great alternative, and affordable.
AMD is best for when initial purchase cost of the GPU is important for you.
And when your contributions will be limited (eg: a few hours a week).
However, if you want to support GPU projects continuously (as much 24/7 as possible), Nvidia is the way to go; simply because the added cost of Nvidia's initial purchase, is easily offset by the electric cost to run it.
Nvidia GPUs consume on average 10-20% less power than AMD, and can be tuned to run between 20-40% even lower power.
Meaning, for nearly the same performance, you could be consuming about half the power of an AMD GPU.
Lastly, for Boinc, there are the cheapest systems overall.
If you're looking for contributing to Boinc, and you're 'as cheap as it goes', look online for an Atomic Pi, or a refurbed or second hand laptop or desktop. Or, alternatively, look for AMLOGIC TV boxes (Specific the S905X3, which can be found for about $35 per unit; or the S922x which can be found for about $80).
Anything going from between $30-$99 is a great budget to start folding/crunching data.
And once you get more serious with folding, use the cheap system to install linux on, and test settings with, which you can then transport to your more expensive system.
There are CPU-only WUs, but if you're just chasing PPD, just turn off CPU folding altogether. From a PPD standpoint, it's a waste of electricity.

7d76ed678113c0dd3d52beb67c37c62dcebe38ff | Q: List Threshold limit I have a list of 28000 items, i imported it in sharepoint using the Import App, but the issue is it wont allow me to do anything, i cannot create index on columns, cannot create a view or filter items.
I received this error when I tried creating index
Sorry, something went wrong The attempted operation is prohibited
because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the
administrator.Operations that exceed the list view threshold are
allowed in the following time window defined by the administrator:
Daily, from 10:00:00 PM to 1:00:00 AM .
How to overcome this issue?
A: The List View threshold is set per web application within Central Admin. If you navigate to Central Admin > Application Management > Manage Web Applications > Select your Web App > General Settings > Resource Throttling.
This technet link outlines the software boundaries for SharePoint, although I would contest that above 30,000 items, lists can become a little "shaky", in my personal experience. Thus I would being splitting out your list if at all possible.
EDIT: If you do not have admin access, contact your administrator citing the above information.
A: I'm not sure of your limitations of your Import App, but perhaps the best solution for a large number of list items is to use an Excel spreadsheet instead. Perhaps a SharePoint list is not the BestToolForTheJob(tm).
A: Please dont do this to SharePoint. If you are expecting such a large amount of list Items then do plan first.
My suggestions would be to,
*
*create more column index
*create views with filters i.e. set filters not only on the default view but also on other views so that the number of retrieved elements is limited i.e. always less than 5000 elements (list threshold) are retrieved.
*In case of Document libraries as well, build document structure using folders -> location based metadata!
*Archive the old entries, set archiving schedule...
There are certainly other settings as well.
BTW I had this problem a number of times and everytime I ended up building a SharePoint Search driven solution for that.
A: The "Site Collection Administrator" has a larger list view threshold. The person with those rights should be able to define those indexed columns. They can also set the default view to limit items returned (no datasheet view).
Edit: Comment below indicates the above information is wrong. I am both Farm and SC admin and admit I may have gotten it wrong. So, please try the above advice and replace "Site Collection" with "Farm".

1303da103f85f71f31773e4731e688a3 | The first steam powered fire pump was manufactured by Braithwaite and Ericsson of London in 1829
The first successful “Steamer” was constructed by Shand Mason of London in 1858 and this company had been involved in the fire appliance business since 1774.
This example of a Shand Mason steam fire appliance was delivered to Oxford Fire Brigade in 1887 and served the town throughout both World Wars.
It lay at the back of Oxford Central Fire Station for many years before being gifted to the Fire Service College, Moreton-in-Marsh in 1973.
This appliance was originally pulled by a team of two horses and steam was raised very quickly en-route to the fire scene. On arrival at the fire, the horses would always be un-harnessed and led away from any danger.
Members of the then “Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group” uplifted the steamer from the Fire Service College on Friday September 1st 2006 and their thanks went to Mick Kernan, Honorary Historian and Archivist at the college and also to Strathclyde Fire & Rescue for supplying the transportation.
This stunning example is now on long term loan to The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Heritage Trust from the Fire Service College, Moreton-in-Marsh | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2021-01-15T20:21:29.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
https://pgtipsonfilms.com/tag/dragon/ | We’ve had spoofs of horror films, action films and even vampire love-stories. Now, for the first time since the amusing Robin Hood: Men In Tights, there is a parody on a medieval-based kingdom; albeit, this movie has elements of fantasy and magic in it. Your Highness may not be the most hilarious film one will see this year, but it certainly has many funny moments.
Thadeous (Danny McBride) watches as Fabious (James Franco) waits for the magical compass to indicate which way will lead them to the Sword of the Unicorn.
The film revolves around Thadeous (Danny McBride – Due Date, Despicable Me, Up In The Air), the fat and lazy second son of King Tallious (Charles Dance – Game of Thrones, Aliens 3). Thadeous is a stark contrast to his older brother, Fabious (James Franco – 127 Hours, Spiderman I, II & III, The Rise of Planet of The Apes), the handsome and athletic heir, who is the hero of the nation. Not long into the film, Fabious’ fiancée, Belladonna (Zooey Decshanel – Yes Man, 500 Days of Summer, The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy), is taken by the evil sorcerer, Leezar (Justin Theroux – American Psycho, Megamind, Miami Vice). Fabious must rescue her, and do so before the two moons come together. Otherwise Leezar will defile Belladonna, impregnating her so she can give birth to a dragon that will enable him to take over the kingdom.
As Leezar is a powerful sorcerer, the only way Fabious can defeat him is with the mystical Sword of the Unicorn. Thus, Fabious, Thadeous and a couple of others go on a quest to find the fabled sword. En route, they come across the beautiful warrior Isabelle (Natalie Portman – Star Wars I-III, Black Swan, Thor), who has her own reasons for wanting to defeat Leezar.
The plot is ridiculous and amusing at the same time. Your Highness does not take itself remotely serious and nor do the actors. If one were expecting another award nominating display from James Franco and Natalie Portman, one should think again before seeing this movie. The actors see the film for what it is (a joke) and play their roles accordingly. Indeed, one wonders how they kept a straight face whilst they recited some of their cliché and ludicrously laughable lines.
The evil one, Leezar (Justin Theroux), smirking as he waits for the two moons to merge.
Nevertheless, the dialogue in Your Highness does make viewers laugh quite frequently. It is a very modern, crude dialogue though; devoid of any real reflection of the medieval era. This is not necessarily a criticism; however, if one were going into this film believing it to be a satire of a by-gone age then one will be disappointed.
There is little else to note about Your Highness. The structure of the film has been done reasonably well by the director, David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, The Sitter, Joe), but the special effects are nothing special, and the music is a comical mishmash between Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings (plus probably a handful of other scores from films that I am unaware of).
Ultimately, Your Highness makes people laugh and, as a comedy, it therefore fulfils its prime purpose without being anything noteworthy. One will not be in hysterical laughter throughout the entire film, but will find much of the movie amusing if one likes crude humour.

fb7c729d75fbf192eb84043055649938 | People always tell me how lucky I am to be eating my way through Europe. But my appreciation of good food was slow in coming. On my first trip to Europe sans parents, I packed along a big plastic tube filled with a swirl of peanut butter and strawberry jam. Every meal I spread it on bread and washed it down with soda pop.
I'm still on the go in Europe, but I eat much better now. During my guidebook research, I get into a rhythm in the last three hours of my long day — blitzing the restaurants on my list, and then returning to my favorite place at the very end of the evening. I often sit down and let the chef/owner cook me up whatever he wants me to experience. These chefs seem to thoroughly enjoy taking off their apron, washing up, and sitting down to share a glass of wine with their last customer of the day — that's me — eating their favorite dishes.
We usually talk about food, and the conversation sometimes shifts to what I eat back home. It can come as a surprise, but Europeans don't always have a dim view of American cooking. After all, McDonald's is the number one fast-food chain in Europe — the one on the Champs-Elysées is the most profitable in the world.
Over one long Italian meal, Claudia (a Roman tour guide) says she loves American food. Her favorites include the BLT sandwich and "chili soup." She's charmed by our breakfast culture and that we "meet for breakfast." She says you would never see families going out for breakfast in Italy.
But she notes that in the US, size matters more than quality. She says that the average number of ingredients in an American restaurant salad or pasta is eight or 10, while in Italy the average salad or pasta has only four or five ingredients. And she can't understand our heavily flavored salad dressings. "If your lettuce and tomato are good, why cover it up with a heavy dressing? We use only oil and vinegar," she says. When I try to defend the fancy dishes as complex, she says, "Perhaps ‘jumbled' is a better word."
Some of my other Italian friends are less tactful. At dinner with three Tuscan friends — Manfredo, Roberto, and Ilaria — I listen to a sharp critique. "I think American pioneers did not know to make a good salami or prosciutto so they could not preserve their meat properly," Manfredo says. "This is why you have the barbecue sauce: to hide this taste of rotting meat."
"Is there no barbecue sauce in Italy?" I ask.
"No," says Manfredo, "but I like very much to make Buffalo wings. Could you kindly send me a package of Frank's Original Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce when you return home?"
We all laugh, and then Roberto adds, "I think, in America, a restaurant is looking not for what is good food. What is good is what sells. Real lasagna is only this thick," he says, sticking his knife through two steamy inches of lasagna on the plate in front of him. "In the United States they make it twice this thick" — flipping another serving on top — "and they fill it with mozzarella. There is no mozzarella in lasagna!" The others cluck in agreement.
Roberto continues, "If you go to an American restaurant and say the food is bad, you get a coupon for a free meal. More bad food. If you say the food is bad in a restaurant in Italy, you get kicked out. To get free food here, it is vice versa — you say, ‘This is the best beefsteak I've ever eaten.' Chef will then say, ‘You must try the dessert.' You say, ‘Oh no.' He says, ‘Here. Please. Take it for free.'"
"In a real Italian restaurant when you complain, the chef will tell you, ‘I cooked this as a boy the way my grandmother cooked this,'" Manfredo says. "It cannot be wrong."
"In the United States, what is right is what sells." Roberto jumps in. "And the computer tells you what food on the menu makes good business. In America, you eat first with your eyes and second with your mouth."
Raising my glass of wine I offer a toast to Italian food. "To la cucina Italiana."
Manfredo follows that, saying magnanimously, "To bacon and eggs." We all agree that American breakfasts are unbeatable.
"Omelets, hash browns," Roberto reminisces. "On my last visit to New York, I gained four kilos in three weeks."
Raising our glasses, we make another toast. "To American breakfasts." | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-24T10:52:58Z | c4 |
http://gullierthanthou.net/?p=2140 | I had grand plans for my birthday week. The plan was that I was going to work the 8th (my actual birthday) and the 9th, then spend the rest of the week deliriously drunk and full then sober up Sunday. MAYBE.
At all. EVER. The universe will remind you that you are inconsequential in the grandest scheme of things all while reminding you that you are still important to the fabric and make up of existence. I don’t know how the duality of that works out or makes sense, but it does. At least it does to me most times.
She thought it was a cold or a viral infection or the flu..or she caught what I had a few weeks ago, but that wasn’t the case. It was the first one she’s had in about 15-20 years so we were mad concerned. Mind you, she had been home from work since Tuesday thinking it was just a cold, finally decided to go to the doctor on Thursday and got admitted to Hahneman in Philly (one of the best hospitals in the Tri-state as far as I’m concerned). So that’s been super stressful. On top of the usual stress of trying to get her to eat better, exercise a little each day. Basically just take better care of herself. The docs decided to do this fancy blood cleaning procedure (i forget the name of it, forgive me. I’m working off 25 hours of sleep over the last 2 weeks here) and it’s helping a lot. She’s not exhausted, has her appetite back and some feeling back in her legs. Also the pain is gone. After she’s discharged from there, she’s getting admitted to a rehab facility by my house for another week or 2 of monitoring. I’m just glad she’s feeling better. That itself takes a lot.
I didn’t have time to help at the golf tournament like I usually do because of all the things with my aunt. Everyone there was asking about her and it was draining on top of not getting any sleep. I just took the team pictures and left.
I guess on to lighter (depending on your viewpoint) things.
37 doesn’t feel drastically different to me than 36. Or even 35. I know myself a little better this year. What I need, what I don’t need. What I have the patience for. I also found out this week that I MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY be open to letting someone take care of me which shocked the shit out of me. I think my friends were shocked that I admitted it out loud too. I really don’t like being a bother or burden plus I’m so used to being the caregiver when everyone is ran down or sick. It was weird. I think i’m over it. I hope I am. Shit is mad annoying.
Once again, I’m determined to not waste another year not taking pictures. I’m dead set on trying to shoot every week *every day if possible* if the weather is nice. I’ve been rearranging things around my house trying to set up a little photo studio or something so I can do some at home projects when the weather is crap. We’ll see how that goes. I still want to go on photo walks with the homies in their cities. So far the list is Philly (naturally, it’s literally right next door…or as next door as 1.5 hours is), DC, Baltimore, NYC and Charlotte. I figure that’s a lot of shooting and should justify me getting a new camera.
Speaking of new camera, I’m trying to decide if I want to go X-Pro2 or Sony A99II. I’m trying to go smaller/lighter body and lenses so the X-Pro2 might be the wave. Plus I like the images I’ve seen fresh off camera from them. It’s gonna be weird having an all Fujifilm kitted camera bag but such is life.
I have to work on Memorial Day so I probably won’t be participating unless someone has a function over the weekend. I guess that goes back to what I said earlier. This is going to get stressful.
I can’t think of anything else to write. Hell, I’m shocked i’m 824 words into THIS post without deleting it. I promise I’ll try to update more frequently, be it with words or photos. Or both.
As some of my friends like to remind me “you don’t really have a life that allows you to make time ONLY for yourself. fix that.” I’m trying friends, I promise.

https://www.crictracker.com/best-t20i-xi-of-the-year/2/ | While the focus was largely on the 50-over World Cup of 2019 till June, now all of that focus has shifted to the T20 World Cup of 2020.
Only four wicket-keepers averaged in excess of 40 in the year 2019 as far as T20I cricket is concerned. Quinton de Kock is one among them. The South African opener may have played just three T20Is this year but has had a significant impact.
He played just one T20I against Sri Lanka at the start of the year before taking over as T20I captain for South Africa after the World Cup. The left-handed wicket-keeping batsman led from the front and looked in fine touch. He scored a couple of fifties (scores of 52 and 79 not out) against India and led South Africa to a series-levelling win as well.
Moreover, de Kock is one among the only two wicket-keepers to score two or more fifties in this year. Thus, he makes it to the best XI despite playing just three games.

ee1d71030423713e50fd435ea8c7b008 | My passion for writing and reading guided me to a BA in English from Penn State. Grandiose dreams of becoming an editor were stomped on by a lack of self confidence and a less than mediocre grasp of writing mechanics. I fell back on education. Although challenging and rewarding, something is missing. Perhaps it is the uninterested students, or I just prefer more distance between me and children. The increasing stress level and dangerously low level of patience has me looking back to my original plans of writing and becoming an editor.
Aimlessly wandering the periodical section of Barnes and Noble my thoughts started to come together. Change is inevitable. My destiny in my hands alone. I traded in my gossip mags for magazines focused on writing. With their help and the advice of my boyfriend, Kevin, I have decided to write daily. Little bits. Opinions, sketches, rants. Small steps.
As a private person, I have found blogs, Facebook, and Twitter expose more of me than I am willing, but a great platform to write, share, receive immediate feedback, and network. So, here I am. Trying something a bit scary and exciting!

We are going through tumultuous, uncharted times. Many Private Equity firms are being pressed to come up with a coherent battle plan with incomplete and constantly-changing information.
With respect to immediately stressed portfolio companies, firms need to address a myriad of questions like, “How can I extend my runway with creditors nipping at my heels?” and “What are my alternatives to bolster liquidity?” And for investments that have not been directly affected yet, but may still experience wrenching challenges from either government restrictions, employee dislocation, recession, collapse in consumer demand, and so forth, it is prudent to be prepared for all of that as well.
At Gordian Group, Private Equity firms are at the core of our business. Our practice entails working with owners to identify financial and other problems and craft solutions to them – even when the Private Equity firm has exhausted its available capital. Over the last week, we have answered the call from Private Equity clients to help broadly and immediately, across their portfolio companies. We have been in business as a firm for 32 years, and have the experience, creativity and deal-doing capability to help our clients preserve and enhance values.

EN-1464-885 | Strange, but true: Until last Dec. 19, the Jets never had won a game in the state of Pennsylvania -- 0-7 at Pittsburgh, 0-4 at Philadelphia.
They took care of the Steelers curse with a huge win that day in Pittsburgh, and now it's on to Philly Sunday to face a team they've never beaten -- anywhere.
The Jets are 0-8 against the Eagles, the only team in the NFL they haven't defeated. This bizarro rivalry, if you can call it that, includes blown leads, wacky coaching decisions and a play that will live in infamy.
Enjoy the memories:
1. Eagles 24, Jets 23 (Dec. 9, 1973, at The Vet) -- Emerson Boozer rushed for two TDs to give the Jets a 17-0 lead, but they collapsed in the second half.
2. Eagles 27, Jets 0 (Dec. 18, 1977, at The Vet) -- Brutal. The Jets dropped to 3-11, thanks to three interceptions and a 100-yard passing day by Richard Todd.
3. Eagles 17, Jets 9 (Nov. 12, 1978, at The Vet) -- The Jets came in with a decent team (6-4), but Matt Robinson was intercepted twice and passed for only 143 yards.
4. Eagles 38, Jets 27 (Dec. 20, 1987, Giants Stadium) -- Rex Ryan's all-time favorite coach was in charge of the Eagles -- his father. Buddy Ryan pulled out a win even though his defense couldn't stop Ken O'Brien (301 yards) and Al Toon (10 catches for 168 yards).
5. Eagles 35, Jets 30 (Oct. 3, 1993, Giants Stadium) -- The Jets were ready to deliver the knockout punch in the fourth quarter, but Eric Allen intercepted Boomer Esiason and returned it 94 yards for the game-winning TD -- one of the most amazing returns in NFL history. The Jets blew a 21-point lead even though the Eagles had lost starting QB Randall Cunningham.
6. Eagles 21, Jets 20 (Dec. 14, 1996, at Giants Stadium) -- This game effectively ended the Rich Kotite era. The Jets blew a 20-7 lead and fell to 1-14. A few days later, Kotite announced he wasn't quitting and wasn't getting fired, but that he was "stepping aside" -- even though he coached the final game.
7. Eagles 24, Jets 17 (Oct. 26, 2003, at Lincoln Financial Field) -- Coach Herm Edwards sabotaged the Jets with this ill-fated idea: Instead of rushing Chad Pennington back into the lineup after missing six games with a broken hand, he decided to keep Vinny Testaverde as the starter -- and would make the change at halftime. So he yanked Testaverde, who played well, and Pennington wound up throwing a killer interception.
8. Eagles 16, Jets 9 (Oct. 14, 2007, at Giants Stadium) -- The Jets had three chances to tie it from the Eagles' 1-yard line, but Brian Schottenheimer made a couple of head-scratching calls and the Jets dropped to 1-5. | 2024-02-13T23:28:33.249Z | 2023-07-19T00:00:00.000Z | megawika |
92db6fc109be3995dff233a0ac66a391 | THE UNITED States has issued a stark warning to North Korea, saying it is ready for war at any time after conducting military drills in the South China Sea.
On Saturday, F-18 Super Hornet jet fighters were deployed from Washington’s largest US warship in Asia - USS ‘Ronald Reagan’ - in what was described as a “routine” exercise.
The drills indictate how tensions have escalated on the Korean peninsula amid fears of a nuclear war breaking out.
Rear Admiral Marc Dalton, commander of the Reagan’s strike group, said that while Pyongyang’s missile tests and nuclear program was a “growing and concerning danger”, his task force was ready if North Korea resort to military action.
The 100,000-ton Reagan has in recent months staged drills with allied Australia ships.
The US has also conducted military exercises with its regional allies South Korea and Japan to demonstrate strength to North Korea which has carried out a series of missile and nuclear tests.
But China, which claims much of the disputed South China Sea, has long objected to American military presence off its coast - even in areas Washington insists are free to international passage.
Officers aboard Japanese-based Reagan described frequent close quarter surveillance from the ships of China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy in international waters.
However Rear Admiral Dalton reported no trouble with the Chinese during the drill on Saturday, adding that “we see them on a regular basis”.
The drill comes as Washington warned Pyongyang to cease its nuclear armament and to instead open constructive talks with US President Donald Trump.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Kim Jong-un’s missile launches and nuclear tests have led to chaos in East Asia.
He said in Beijing: "I think the whole situation is a bit overheated right now. I think everyone would like for it to calm down.
“Obviously it would help if North Korea would stop firing off missiles, that would calm things down a lot."
But the US State Department warned a peaceful ending to the escalating crisis did not appear forthcoming.
A spokeswoman said: "North Korean officials have shown no indication that they are interested in or are ready for talks regarding denuclearization."
In September, the United Nations General Assembly voted unanimously for a fresh round of sanctions to be imposed on the regime.
Pyongyang branded the penalties “a brutal criminal act” by the US, adding that the sanctions were a “foolish dream” to stop its military.

https://answers.worldnomads.com/questions/venezuela/1698/is-venezuela-safe-to-travel-to | Are there any current dangers and what areas are unsafe for visitors?
Also, you might want to take a tour to go to La Gran Sabana (Canaima National Park) is gorgeous and safe if going with a group (http://ow.ly/1ClLX ). In Anzoategui state, you can visit Lecheria, Barcelona (the state capital city) and Puerto La Cruz. Lecheria is very touristic, I'd say stay in a hotel in that city and from Puerto La Cruz you can take a boat to visit the islands/beaches that are beautiful! And of course, last but not least, Los Roques I think is the safest of all and is amazing!
Be careful with taxis you take as well. Always try to catch them at the hotel or mall. Hope it helps you!
You're really going to need your wits about you to stay safe in Venezuela, unfortunately it's a very dangerous place (for locals as well as visitors).
This is not the sort of place where you can wear jewellery or watches in public. Your camera will certainly raise the interest of thieves. If ever there was a place to blend in, to try to look like a local, it's here. If you know someone who lives in Venezuela, ask them to show you around - locals know the danger spots better than any guide book.
A Venezuelan I know says 'everyone' gets mugged and robbed eventually.
Sadly, Venezuela is not really safe... However, it depends on the places you are going to visit...
Maracaibo and Caracas are really dangerous...
But Ciudad Bolivar, Merida and Margarita... are not that dangerous...
Just pay attention and try to be with a venezuelan...! SO he/she can help you...
It's a beautiful place... don't miss it!,,, Mexico is more dangerous...
In fact, there are lot of places in South America as Venezuela... or worse!
- Don't go out at night alone.
- Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
- Be as subtle as you can if you take pictures. You are not in Paris.
- Never, never go into the « barrios », unless you know someone who lives there and you are with that person.
- Don't resist if you get robbed, thieves can be merciless. I was robbed in broad daylight in Barinas, but I escaped unharmed, because I complied immediatly. However, I have a Venezuelan friend whose uncle was killed in Caracas after thieves robbed his motorcycle. And most Venezuelans I've met had some kind of horror story about robbery, murder, etc.
- You better speak Spanish, as most people don't know a word of English.
- I never had much problems with taxi drivers, besides overcharging issues.
- I used buses a lot and I never had a problem.

https://forums.escapistmagazine.com/threads/nooooo-40-hours-down-the-drain-in-mass-effect-2-ps3.213563/page-2#post-10181260 | Just speedrun it, turn down the sound, put on a movie or music in the backround, and play, play play, skip cutscenes, use guides to find the best planets and just hammer that x button down to a nub. Only advice I can give, might cut the replay's time down a bit at least.
Tip to all PC gamers. External hard drive/USB - BACK UP SAVE GAMES. I've been paranoid about something like this happening to me so I have at least 1 back up of every game updating every few weeks/months or so.
I usually only roll with 3 saves but this is indeed a good policy. In ME1 I'm currently using Auto-save, quick save, and manual saves. It pretty much guarantees I won't lose more than an hour of gameplay (barring a hard drive failure).
I had a hard drive death last year and lost the saves for all my games including ME and ME2. In the Mass Effect games alone that came out to about 120 hours. I wasn't happy, but now some four months later I think I'm ready to start again. My suggestion is to take some time then come back when you're ready to spend the time it takes to make it through a game of that size.
Well I lost over 300 hours on Pokemon Blue.
It felt more of a ''GOD I AM FREEEEEEE'' to me.
I know what that's like. My 7ish-year-old cousin once deleted a (completed) save on Ruby version so he could save his game in the starting town...
i already did at a buddies house. took me two days.
You probably didn't do everything in it, then. It has far more to offer than ME2.
You don't do regular saves? Or does the PS3 only have autosaves? you can probably cut at least 10 hours off that if you play again and take a systematic approach.
There are a lot of people who think unwieldy, annoying, near-insignificant management of armour/weapons/etc. is the same as customisation and a very important feature. Even though it is the exact same as a meaningless time sink that is focussed on put different pairs of pants on.
i had 4. they all went down the crapper. i though only the autosave might be corrupted. SUPRISE!!!
okay after reading this that is pretty shitty, i thought you were like my roommate who only keeps one save...and i facepalm everytime he ends up missing something or has that happen.
so now i do feel bad.
Lost my entire PS1 data, Chrono Cross, Suikoden, Final Fantasy VIII, Grandia, Star Ocean, Breath of Fire IV, Final Fantasy Tactics, Parasite Eve, etc.
I didn't play games for a while after that.
yeah. ive had this happen before so i keep multiple saves, but apparently they all flipped me off and shot themselves in the head to reward my preplanning.
Oh, boo hoo, the customisation isn't that great. Too bad it has better characters, better combat, better RPG elements, a better storyline and more replayability than Mass Effect 2, though.
I remember way back when I was playing one of the Spyro The Dragon games and I had all my progress deleted by a family friends Autistic son, I was so gutted.
I'm playing through ME2 right now on the PS3 too and I know how much that would suck. I lost a ton of stuff to copyright protection when my PS3 died and I got a new one. Need for Speed Shift, Rock Band 2, Heavy Rain, and The Orange Box all gone.
On a side note (since you're playing on a PS3): Have you noticed any frame-rate issues (I get them rarely but it was still weird) or cutscenes where the audio is lagging behind the video (this one I get really often)?
I played world of warcraft, your mass effect means nothing to me.
actually yes. in cutscenes the sound effects are slightly behind the visuals. the speaking is lagless but explosions, gunfire etc is behind. | 2023-03-29T03:31:32.945978+00:00 | 2021-09-26T23:14:21Z | common-crawl |

Cincinnati Reds third baseman and National Leagie All-Star Todd Frazier at the media availability at The Westin Cincinnati Monday afternoon.
Todd Frazier stepped up to the plate with one out in the bottom of the first inning in the 86th edition of the MidSummer Classic Tuesday night to a loud ovation, but couldn't replicate any of the magic from Monday night's Home Run Derby as he grounded out to third.
In his second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning he grounded out to short.
With the National League trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Frazier stepped up against Tampa Bay's Chris Archer and grounded out to third for the second time and finished his second All-Star Game 0-for-3.
Frazier, a former Toms River South and Rutgers standout drew a loud ovation during pre-game introductions a night after winning the Home Run Derby in the first year of its new format.
"I enjoyed it,'' Frazier said to ESPN of the revamped derby format.
"I really thought they hit it on the nail. I thought four minutes was great. Five minutes would have been way too much.
Another Jersey product, Angels outfielder Mike Trout homered to start the game for the American League.
"I'm expecting some more fireworks,'' Frazier told ESPN before the game.
Trout's homer got out in a hurry to right field.
The ball was certainly flying on Monday night and the hometown fans were loving it.
"It was a huge adrenaline rush,'' Frazier said.
"The fans, they were unbelievable. I've been getting a lot of people coming up to me saying it's the coolest Home Run Derby, they've been to. | 2023-04-10T10:29:19.440079+00:00 | 2020-02-23T05:05:25Z | common-crawl |
https://davisrea.blog/2018/03/23/company-profile-booking-com/ | Booking Holdings Inc. (BKNG), formerly known as The Priceline Group (PCLN), is the world’s leading provider of online travel and related services, bringing together consumers and hospitality providers in over 200 different countries through six independently managed brands. Booking and its subsidiaries provide a digital marketplace which aggregates travel and hospitality providers, and distributes their offerings across a broad range of user friendly software services. Hotels, car rentals, and airline tickets can be compared and booked individually, or purchased as a part of a package, simplifying the often-tedious process of booking vacations. Increased transparency provided by these services allows consumers to easily compare a vast range of accommodations and book them at competitive prices.
Booking.com, Priceline.com, Kayak, Agoda, rentalcars.com, and Opentable are the six primary operational brands which use their global scale to share information across platforms to amplify their metasearch capabilities, ultimately to the benefit of the end user – you. Booking’s size, along with providing a large informational platform on which to provide smarter offerings, allows them to charge one of the industry’s lowest commission rates to hoteliers, thus providing value to vacation service providers as well.
As the world continues to digitize, we expect online travel bookings to continue to play an increasingly important role in vacation planning, particularly as the millennial generation comprises a larger portion of the working age population, and thus has more disposable income. Looking forward, Booking is increasingly focusing efforts on expanding its presence in Asia and Latin-America, two growing markets which make up an estimated 20% of total bookings. As these economies continue to grow and the middle class expands, vacationing is within reach now more than ever. Booking is also focused on expanding the marketplace by adding supply of available rooms, investing into infrastructure to support a larger organization, and growing the supply of alternative accommodation (available rooms/properties were up 53% in 2017) to stave off competition from Expedia, Trivago, and Airbnb.
Booking is run by one of the internet sector’s best and most experienced management teams. Strong leadership has allowed Booking to maintain consistent double-digit revenue and bookings growth while growing faster than competitors internationally. Booking only has a fraction of worldwide travel spend which should allow for meaningful room to grow market share, and for the company to continue to perform well in in the long term.

https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/threads/interworx-plugin.9928/ | - Interworx's Plugin just tells InterWorx that you are using Litespeed and not Apache.
- it's a pain to compile LSPHP to match PHP to ensure everything works.
This is definitely something we're open to — we have a really good relationship with the Interworx guys — but we need more people to request it. If you can get a movement behind you (especially if some in the movement are planning on using it in more than just one or a couple installations), we're happy to insert it into our to-do list.
+1, it's the reason we signed the agreement to be honest, LiteSpeed and InterWorx are the best products on the market and I was expecting it to be in the works, but as InterWorx grows it's still not got the support from third parties, which means some people go elsewhere. I've had people tell me they won't use LiteSpeed because it's a pain in the a.... getting it to work with InterWorx and moved to CloudLinux Mod_lsapi which they help set-up.
I confirm this at least for me. If plugin is made, i buy a subscription.
If not, i make it short because it's off topic but, licencecart, i'm interested by your advices about CloudLinux Mod_lsapi and maybe Cloudlinux itself if you propose it in your offers.
We can't sell CloudLinux due to their connection with cPanel but if you are waiting for this I recommend buying direct from them and then enquire about Mod_lsapi and they will get back to you and even set it up .
Great, i already had contact in the past with cloudlinux, the guy is very open mind, has full of handy hints, a very nice contact, i recommend them.
Glad to see y'all getting involved. Right now I count five votes (though perhaps LicenseCart's vote represents a bit more). This is a good start. (None of y'all would be planning to buy, say, 50-100 licenses, would you?) We will be taking a preliminary look soon at what would be required to build a fully functioning Interworx plugin. I'm not guaranteeing we build one, but we are interested in scoping it out.
If there was a better plugin, it would allow me to sell more LiteSpeed licenses to be honest not sure how many mate, but I guarantee more sales would come in as I can promote it with InterWorx. At the moment it's just on the site and people buy it. At the moment I like others have to inform customers that it's not easy to use on InterWorx as I don't want to get a support ticket to help to find out they cancel it because it's too complicated to get working.
Understood. We'll be looking into it soon. A lot is going to depend on how time-consuming it looks like it's going to be. I'll keep y'all updated no matter what.
I need too , thats why i am with apache.
+1 as well. Can't promise 100 licenses but this is a big part of the reason why we haven't deployed an Interworx shared environment yet.
Hi Michael, I run a hosting company where we at the moment provide interworx & blesta but all of our partner/reseller approx 80 reseller clients do want to upgrade to litespeed rather than apache. looking forward to release soon.
1+ , I need it on my production environments.
For PHP setup with interworx, there are a few options now.
cloudlinux alt-php added lsphp binary long time again, if you could use mod_lsapi, you should be able to use the same lsphp binary with LiteSpeed.
REMI repo added lsphp rpm a while back.
Correct, however CloudLinux install it for you so they use the binary they know and use. If you use LiteSpeed it's guess work and opening a ticket with support or by coming to the forum to find out why this and that isn't working. And taking hours to get it working per user, when you can use a cPanel / DirectAdmin or Plesk plugin and it does it automatically for you. Why should we be left out and be the only control panel users to suffer that?
If you need to ask CloudLinux to do it with their software, customers won't just save the ./config and then use LiteSpeed... | 2023-04-13T10:03:24.052633+00:00 | 2022-06-30T14:24:20Z | common-crawl |

96559936b16f541e2ef25fe040e59122 | Happy Labor Day! Hope you’ve been enjoying the long weekend. As promised, here is a super simple, super easy dessert using almost the same ingredients as the Honey Ginger Banana Ice Cream that I made a couple weeks back.
This time I made a milkshake! This milkshake is a much cleaner, healthier alternative to the mega-calorie dense traditional (delicious) cold treat. The recipe uses frozen bananas as the base (though the banana flavor is subtle when the rest of the ingredients are added in) , a touch of honey to sweeten, chocolate to flavor, and coconut milk (or any milk) to smooth and thin out. You could make chocolate ice cream the same way, just by adding less milk.
This is so easy to make, another one of those whip-up-in-five-minutes-after-dinner kind of treats when you’re feeling in need of something sweet that isn’t so unhealthy. A great option for kiddos too since bananas offer great nutrition and they won’t be on a crazy sugar high after indulging.
Clean Eating Chocolate “Milk”Shake
makes one serving, increase ingredients according to number of servings desired
1 banana, frozen (for easiest results, freeze bananas in 1″ chunks, peeled)
2 teaspoons honey (more or less, to taste)
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk of choice, I like coconut milk (2 Tablespoons if making ice cream consistency)
Add all ingredients to blender and blend on high until combined and milk shake consistency is achieved. Easy as that!
Good post. I am dealing with a few of these issues as

https://nextshark.com/chinese-diners-freak-cooked-fish-leaps-off-plate-restaurant/ | A restaurant in China serves seafood so fresh, it will literally jump off your plate!
An amusing video circulating on Chinese social media platforms features a group of shocked diners whose meal was momentarily interrupted when the cooked fish on their table suddenly leaped from its plate.
The steamed flatfish, which was seasoned with ginger slices, spring onions, and soy sauce, showed signs of life, appearing to breathe. When the fish started to flip over, two men started standing up and moving away from the dining table.
The fish, which had visible cuts on its body, spooked the rest of the diners when it eventually flew out of the plate and landed on the table.
According to MailOnline, the incident happened in an unnamed restaurant in China. The short video of the incident was uploaded to local video-sharing platform Youku and became widely shared on Chinese social media.
Netizens have since dubbed the jumping seafood “zombie fish” for appearing to “spring back to life” even after death. It is believed that the fish was not completely cooked, which allowed some of its cells to still react to stimuli even after its death.

https://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-liberty-double-eagles/1903-20-pr64-pcgs/a/1142-4919.s?type=NGC1142 | 1903 $20 PR64 PCGS....
Estimates are that today, only 40 to 50 proof examples survive in all grades. PCGS has certified only three examples in PR65 grade--one a Cameo--and the present PR64 is one of 11 so certified there, also including one Cameo and likely duplicates. The Garrett-Bass PR65 PCGS example from the Bass II sale (Bowers and Merena, 10/1999, lot 1939, which realized $41,400) was later crossed into a PR65 Cameo NGC holder. We offered that later appearance in The Greenwich Collection, Part Two in our ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2004, lot 7707), where it realized $50,025. A PR64 Cameo that we offered in Platinum Night of our Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2005, lot 2477), realized $40,250. More recently, a PR64 example in the July 2009 Stack's offering of "Treasures from the S.S. New York" (lot 1539) brought $39,675.
This coin is certified in a early green-label holder from PCGS, before it began certifying coins as Cameo and Deep Cameo. A Deep Cameo designation is unknown for the issue, but it is possible that this coin could achieve a Cameo designation today. The Mint's post-1901 changed method of manufacturing proof gold involved polishing the device crevices in the die along with the fields on the surface, reducing or eliminating the frosty devices on the coin. Dr. Robert Loewinger's proof gold reference calls the device effect "satiny or semibrilliant." Nonetheless, a few examples at each service of the 1903 are known with the Cameo designation--12 at NGC, seven at PCGS. The finest numerically graded pieces are a handful of PR65s (non-Cameo and Cameo) at both services combined, with duplicates all but certain.
"In recent years the demand for examples of the [Liberty Head] type in Proof has increased dramatically. The supply will most likely never meet the demand for these large, impressive coins."
There is a reason for that huge demand, beside the unceasing hot market for gold overall: The Liberty Head coins in proof format are the last of the nation's "traditional" mirrored gold proof coinage, desirable and ultimately pleasing collector-grade examples of the largest gold denomination. | 2023-03-29T03:16:37.611889+00:00 | 2021-09-26T21:27:55Z | common-crawl |
