Don Sampe interviewed by Traxx24
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey there to all Traxx24 readers! This is Don Sampe and I am a Spanish producer and DJ. As a producer, I have been producing some Electro songs like Starlight in 2016, through which I have been nominated as opener for the Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's "High Road" Tour in Dallas, Texas. I would release No Time in 2017, in which I would emphasize in the Hard House style until I make my sounds mature with my Bootlegs of Shape Of You in 2018 and Mi Gente in 2019.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I have been changed a lot through the years. First of all, in 2010, I had an opportunity to go to a Steve Aoki show in a small village in my region. I remember that night as if it was yesterday, I think everything changed to me after that night. Before that, I was just influenced by Deadmau5 and Tiësto, but after that in my mind, there was only to become someone like them. Some years later here I am, trying to make some space between the people. I crossed through Progressive House to Melbourne Bounce, Electro House, Future House and recently I am enjoying some Bass House and Hard House, also starting to feel love about Tech-House. Sometimes my brain becomes a volcano.
What´s new right now?
I have in mind to play in some clubs in Cracow, Poland, where I have been living recently and also to record a set in a professional DJ room in the city. Also from April, I have just been confirmed as a resident DJ in the Greek island of Rhodes, so I cannot be happier at all. At last, if readers are interested in my journey, they can follow me on social networks and I hope to see you into the crowd!
Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into a super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
With no doubts at all, I have a weakness for historical DJs and producers like Deadmau5, Eric Prydz, Steve Angello and some others like the Pardon My French or Harsh crews, those in which I am more influenced right now.
Do you have insights on how to grow your audience on SoundCloud that you want to share with our audience?
Just make and upload music the more the better and with the best quality, the success will arrive sooner or later if you were born to be successful.
We meet again in one year. What has changed?
Me coming back from my own Tour with a lot of new tracks made by me, that would be damn sick.

Q: Jquery with many buttons call a function with sending different parameters I have a simple code but cant get the values of my input text. Is there any way to do this?
<?php

    for ($i=0;$i<3;$i++){
        echo ('<input type="text" class="form-control" name="vec" id="vec'.$i.'" value="'.$listOfData0[$i].'">');
        echo ('<input type="text" class="form-control" name="drv" id="drv'.$i.'" value="'.$listOfData1[$i].'">');
        echo ('<button type="button" name="updateVecButton" id="updateVecButton" value="'.$vec[$i].','.$vell[$i].'" onclick="refreshVec("'.$i.'","'.$vell[$i].'");"></button>');
    }
?>

<script>
function refreshVec(i,vell){
    alert (i + " "+ vell);
    var value0 = $("#vec"+i).val();
    var value1 = $("#drv"+i).val();
    alert (value0 + " " + value1);
}

</script>

A: You garbled the HTML by also using double quotes in the onclick attribute. You should see it in the generated HTML.
Try
echo ('<button type="button" name="updateVecButton" id="updateVecButton" value="'.$vec[$i].','.$vell[$i].'" onclick="refreshVec(\''.$i.'\',\''.$vell[$i].'\');"></button>');

instead of
echo ('<button type="button" name="updateVecButton" id="updateVecButton" value="'.$vec[$i].','.$vell[$i].'" onclick="refreshVec("'.$i.'","'.$vell[$i].'");"></button>');

A: You should call as an array of inputs. Like,
  echo('<input type="text" class="form-control" name="vec[]" id="vec'.$i.'" value="'.$listOfData0[$i].'">');
  echo('<input type="text" class="form-control" name="drv[]" id="drv'.$i.'" value="'.$listOfData1[$i].'">');
  echo('<button type="button" name="updateVecButton[]" id="updateVecButton" onclick="refreshVec("'.$i.'","'.$vell[$i].'");"/>'.$vec[$i].','.$vell[$i].'</button>');

Change name="vec" and name="drv" As name="vec[]" and name="drv[]"
In your  (
onclick="refreshVec("'.$i.'","'.$vell[$i].'");
you should change as
onclick="refreshVec(\''.$i.'\',\''.$vell[$i].'\');
As I think, the reason is you passing parameters with string values.

A: I don't know why but there is space present between refreshVec(" 2","2").
This makes string like " 2" and not "2"
That's why ID selector is selecting wrong id containing that space and you are not getting expected output
I corrected it and it is working now:
echo '<button onclick="refreshVec(\''.$i.'\',\''.$vell[$i].'\');">'.$vec[$i].','.$vell[$i].'</button>';

Note: buttons don't have attribute like value. You should put text inside <button> tag

A: My solution is
$(this).prop("value");

The .val() is another thing. Thanks for your support.

Ohio State vs. Iowa State Prediction,
#813 Ohio State
Buckeyes 140
#814 Iowa State
Cyclones -5
Friday, March 22 9:50 P.M. in Tulsa, Oklahoma
This is Big Ten vs. Big 12 in the final match up of Friday night in Tulsa. Iowa State earned an automatic bid after their incredible run to the Big 12 Conference Tournament Championship. They took down Baylor, Kansas State, and Kansas in three days to claim the title. Ohio State earned an at-large bid after getting knocked out by Michigan State in the Big 10 Tournament. They picked up a win over Indiana, but were overpowered by the Spartans.
Iowa State Enters National Tournament with Momentum
Iowa State is a six-seed. How? That is a great question. The only explanation is consistency throughout the season. The Cyclones finished their season with two wins over Kansas, and Kansas State. They also had wins over Texas Tech and Ole Miss. On the other side, Iowa State suffered losses to Baylor twice, TCU, Texas, and West Virginia. Only Baylor is in the tournament of those four teams. Regardless, this is a team that can surprise people, and make a Final Four run. At their best, the Cyclones can compete with anyone in the tournament. Their bracket is tough with North Carolina and Kentucky. They will not have to see the Tar Heels until the Elite Eight or Kentucky until the Sweet 16. They will have two games to win before facing one of the top seeds, but those are games that everyone should want to see.
How sweeeeeet was this? Yeah we brought that 🏆 back home to Ames!
But now….WE WANT MORE!#Cyclones pic.twitter.com/Toh1oRHfeu
— Iowa State Men's Basketball (@CycloneMBB) March 18, 2019
The Cyclones will enter the tournament with almost a 10-point differential. They scored 77.4 points per game which was 62nd in the country. Marial Shayok led the team with 18.4 points per game. The Virginia transfer led the Cyclones through the Big 12 Tournament with relative ease. They shot 36.5% from three-point range in the season. Iowa State was the Big 12's highest-scoring team. They were able to win offensively in a conference that plays strong defense. They are made for a tournament setting. Iowa State has leadership from their seniors and a team that can win multiple games in as many days. This was the surprise team in the conference tournament and will continue to surprise people as an under-seeded team in the NCAA Tournament.
Ohio State Sneaks in as At-Large
The Big Ten is well represented in this year's tournament. Ohio State will enter as one of the lower seeds. Ohio State earned an 11-seed after a 19-14 season where they went 8-12 in conference play. They were able to pick up a win in the Big Ten Tournament which helped their case. Kaleb Wesson averaged 14.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game to lead the Buckeyes in both. He is the straw that stirs the drink for Ohio State. They are much better with him on the floor. Ohio State is in the tournament once again despite a conference record under .500. They beat No. 22 Iowa late in the season, and won a game in the Big Ten Tournament. If they had not beaten Indiana, this might be a different team getting set to face Iowa State.
We're headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma to take on the Iowa State Cyclones‼#MarchMadness | #Team120 pic.twitter.com/rnLv1eIj0N
— Ohio State Hoops (@OhioStateHoops) March 17, 2019
The Buckeyes know what is ahead of them. "You have to be really good to win your conference tournament in that league. And my guess is they were the No. 1 of the six seeds, I would guess," Chris Holtmann said. "They could have very easily been a five seed." Ohio State was strong defensively this season, but struggled on the offensive end. They allowed just 66.2 points per game this season which was 48th in the nation. Their point-differential was just 3.4 because of their inept offensive play. They will have to slow the game down against Iowa State if they want to pull off the upset. The Cyclones are playing as well as anyone in the country, but they should not take the Buckeyes lightly in this game.
Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.
Cyclones are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games
Over is 4-1 in Cyclones last 5 non-conference games
Over is 8-2 in Cyclones last 10 NCAA Tournament games
Over is 6-2 in Cyclones last 8 games following an ATS win
Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games
Buckeyes are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win
Buckeyes are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 NCAA Tournament games
Buckeyes are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Big 12
Over is 6-1 in Buckeyes last 7 overall
This will be an upset match up for many self-proclaimed bracketologists, especially being a 6 vs. 11 match up. My confidence in Iowa State was present all throughout the Big 12 Tournament, and it will stay present here. Iowa State was 18-14-2 ATS this season while Ohio State was 14-19. Iowa State is a strong team who will have the best player on the floor in Shayok. The Cyclones have Final Four aspirations, and to do so they will need to get past this game first. They covered all three games en route to a Big 12 Tournament title, and this will be the first one they cover in the big dance.
Prediction: Iowa State -5.5
Iowa State was the Big 12's highest scoring team. They have played five of their last six games over. In those games, they have scored 70 or more points four times. This will be a game where they will up near 80. Ohio State is not a team that scores many points, but they will need to change their game plan if they want to compete. The Buckeyes will have to adjust to the high-scoring, fast-paced style of play that the Cyclones bring to the table. Tulsa has an exciting slate of games ahead of them, headlined by this one that will see points to end the night.
Prediction: Over 140.5

Have the Arsenal players turned their back on Arsene Wenger?
EPL Index > Arsenal > Have the Arsenal players turned their back on Arsene Wenger?
Another week, another game and yet another defeat for Arsene Wenger. That is 4 defeats in the last 5 Premier League games for Arsenal. It's not the defeat that is the problem but the manner in which they lost is! It has been the same old story yet again only this time, the usual has turned into a full blown crisis.
On the back of a 5-0 win against Lincoln in the FA Cup, Arsene Wenger would have hoped that his fortunes have finally turned when he took his side to the Hawthorns on Saturday.
West Brom started the game well and went ahead deservedly so from a goal from Dawson, not so surprisingly from a corner. 48% of West Brom's goals this season have come from set-pieces. Surely Wenger would have known that? You wouldn't think so by the way Arsenal defended the corner. Craig Dawson had a free run towards the ball and he headed it in while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey stood there like mannequins and watched. No attempt to try and stop the oncoming attacker. The response from Arsenal was fairly decent as Granit Xhaka's pass found Sanchez unmarked and the Chilean took the goal beautifully pulling things back level but that was it. They stopped playing at that point. No heart, no fight, no direction. Every single player on that pitch looked like they weren't interested in the game, so much so that they managed no shots on target in the second half of that game. They were very open throughout the game and credit to West Brom and Tony Pulis, they expolited that brilliantly.
James McClean troubled Hector Bellerin all game who apparently was more interested in his hairstyle than playing for Arsenal. Cech went off injured and the man who came on to replace him, David Ospina, was culpable for the West Brom's second. A ball he should have dealt with comfortably but instead he gave it straight back to the substitute Hal Robson-Kanu and the Welshman took the chance to put Albion ahead. In the midst of all this, there were two planes flown over the ground. Both by Arsenal fans, one in support of Arsene Wenger and the other calling for his head. Sums the club up if you ask me. Chaos amongst the fans, chaos on the pitch and chaos in the sky!
I don't even want to get started on the third goal for WBA. You could be forgiven for losing concentration once while defending a corner. It happens. West Brom got a corner and it was almost an action replay of their first. Ball in, Craig Dawson has a free run and he heads it in while the Arsenal players stood there and watched. It's embarrassing enough to concede a goal like that once but twice? Replays showed three West Brom players unmarked, attacking the ball. Any one of them could have scored. It's like watching the under-10's play!
Thierry Henry lost it on Sky during the post match analysis. He claimed, he would have been punched in the face for letting in a goal like that. "I have never seen that in my playing career. Ever. I would not have liked to go back in the dressing room if I did that and Jens Lehmann was still playing. He would have punched me, hit me round the head, got sent off. He did it before." said Henry.
This was the performance of the players who clearly don't want to play for the manager. Losing to Bayern is one thing but West Brom? No disrespect, a team like Arsenal with the players they have should be beating them. There has been a lot of speculation in the media for weeks now about Arsene Wenger's future at the club, ever since they lost 5-1 to Bayern in the first leg of the Champions League. No Arsenal player came out in support of the manager and they way they have been playing lately only confirms that they don't want him in the job. It is extremely sad to see such a fantastic manager look defeated. If the players have indeed turned his back on him, I see no way back for Wenger. He has to go.
I sincerely think the players are not giving their best and the team needs complete overhauling. Wenger should be made to buy world class players .

Q: Different output of NSDate from NSDateFormatter I'm having some problems with NSDate, actually I only need this to verify that it is a valid date, since if it's an invalid date, the date instance would return nil. But
NSString *textValue = @"13/12/2014";

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

// this should cause the output to have no time
[formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
formatter.locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];
[formatter setCalendar:[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]];
[formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"GMT"]];

NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:textValue];

The result of date is 2015-01-12 00:00:00 +0000
What I expect the result should be: nil

A: NSString *textValue = @"1/12/2014";
NSString *textValue1 = @"15/12/2014";
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:textValue];
NSLog(@" >> %@ ",date);
NSDate *date1 = [formatter dateFromString:textValue1];

Q: JSON .Net Serialization not working correctly I have this class:
[Serializable]
public class ServerResponse
{
    public string[] Response { get; set; }
    public object Packet { get; set; }

    public ServerResponse(string[] response, object packet){
        this.Response = response;
        this.Packet = packet;
    }

    public string[] getResponse() { return this.Response; }
    public object getPacket() { return this.Packet; }
}

And use the following to convert to JSON:
    static void writeToClient(TcpClient client, object message)
    {
        string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(message);
        NetworkStream clientStream = client.GetStream();
        byte[] buffer = NetworkHelper.GetMessageAsBytes(json);

        clientStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        clientStream.Flush();
    }

However, the Packet is never serialized. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Sample output:
{"Response":["message","Authenticated"],"Packet":{}}

And this is the actual class I'm attempting to serialize:
[Serializable]
public class ActiveGameSession
{
    private LoginServerSettings serverSettings;
    private List<UserCharacter> sessionCharacters = new List<UserCharacter>();
    private UserAccount sessionAccount;

    public ActiveGameSession()
    {
        this.sessionCharacters = new List<UserCharacter>();
        this.sessionAccount = null;
        this.serverSettings = null;
    }

    public ActiveGameSession(List<UserCharacter> chars, UserAccount session)
    {
        this.sessionCharacters = chars;
        this.sessionAccount = session;
    }

    #region setters
    public void setCharacters(List<UserCharacter> chars)
    {
        this.sessionCharacters = chars;
    }

    public void setSession(UserAccount session)
    {
        this.sessionAccount = session;
    }

    public void setServerSettings(LoginServerSettings settings)
    {
        this.serverSettings = settings;
    }
    #endregion

    #region getters
    public List<UserCharacter> getCharacters()
    {
        return this.sessionCharacters;
    }

    public UserAccount getAccount()
    {
        return this.sessionAccount;
    }

    public LoginServerSettings getSettings()
    {
        return this.serverSettings;
    }
    #endregion
}

A: JSON.NET may not support serialization of an object of type Object. Try using a more concrete type. If you want to have multiple packet types you can try using generics or derive from a common base class.
Edit:

I rarely cross post in the three blogs I maintain. They seem very separate in theme and topic most of the time. But occasionally I write something which could easily fit interchangeably. I found this in my family story blog recently and offer it again here.

I do not often enter threads of conversation like this, but this one so intrigued me as I read some of the comments that I quickly typed in one of my own, without considering more than a few seconds.
So many…birthing 3 sons! Sitting in front of a peat fire in Ireland with a cat in my lap while the innkeeper told ghost stories, watching butterfly caterpillars munch on dill with my 3 yr granddaughter this morning.
The answers kept coming, but more than that, I started thinking. Not constantly, but an all day, in and out kind of musing – not unlike the repeating melody when an old song is mentioned and you can't get it off your mind. Others were returning to the question as well, adding another cool thing they remembered. I kept returning to scene after scene in my mind, but the next thought I posted referred to times I have been allowed to play musical instruments I would never have dreamed I would see or touch.
Played the organ in Gereja Immanuel, the oldest church in Jakarta, Indonesia. Played the piano in Shipman House B&B, Hilo, Hawaii which was once played by the last Queen of Hawaii.
There are a great many ways I could have responded. Some of them are constants, so much with me that I do not single them out. Years of growing into the certainty of God's love and faithfulness. Loving and staying married to Joe for almost 54 years. Moving 21 times in the first 28 years of our marriage, and making it home every time. Knowing by heart the stories of my ancestry, and the legacy of faith and love modeled for me since I was born. Surviving a massive postpartal hemorrhage that nearly claimed my life when my first son was one week old. Being witness to the courage and determination of our youngest son as he lost his vision. Added to the births of our own children, being part of the birth experiences of grandchildren. Being gifted with corneas from people I will never know for transplants that restored my vision.
Flying as a passenger in a jet plane piloted by my son. Admiring the homework, the family buiding of our sons and our daughters -in-law. Living in Jakarta, Indonesia for 4 1/2 years, learning a language I had never heard before, hearing the sounds of mosques and gongs and cik -caks and street vendors. Traveling. Riding a speedboat across Lake Toba to the island within an island on Sumatra. Having a Singapore Sling in Raffles Hotel in Singapore, watching my sons and husband para-sail on the beach in Bali, climbing the steps at Borobudur, staying in the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia, visiting the Golden Bhudda in Thailand, riding a funicular railway in the Alps, hearing an organ concert in Notres Dame Cathedral, eating at sidewalk cafes in Paris, eating scones at Shore Cottage Tearoom in the Scottish Highlands, Seeing Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables in London.
Falling in love with poetry. Learning to pay attention, be astonished, and tell about it. Learning to write it myself. Finding the sacred ordinary.
I wonder if "cool" means awesome, profound, or life-changing, or just interesting and unusual. I will probably keep remembering cool things. And feeling grateful for all of them.

I love this – I'm making my list!
I really enjoyed meeting you in person at the conference. Great times.
I enjoyed meeting you as well, Pat! I am glad we shared some meals together. That is one of my favorite ways of getting to know someone.


Typhoon Jebi is currently a category 5 storm heading for Japan's main island of Honshu. The largest and most powerful typhoon of 2018, Jebi is expected to reduce in both size and intensity by the time it makes landfall in Japan on Tuesday (local time). See the map below.
Currently bringing wind speeds of up to 175 miles per hour (281 km per hour), Jebi is expected to reduce to a still very dangerous 90 miles per hour (145 km per hour) by Tuesday. This, along with heavy rain is anticipated to impact the major cities of Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto.
We have not yet received any airline updates but expect to do so within the next 24 hours as the storm progresses and the path becomes more certain.
We do anticipate travel disruptions on the region on Tuesday.


[Feature Request] Import Verified URLs Automatically from specified file — .:: GSA SEO & Marketing Forum ::.
This will be a wonderful feature. Ability to Import Verified URLs Automatically from a specified file every X minutes. (only append new urls) This will save us a ton of manual work and it's a great addition for those who have Virtual Assistants or tools that export tier1 links to a specified file automatically. So it will feed GSA SER on auto pilot.
well why don'T you let the tool export to the file <project name>.new_targets ? That will let SER import the URLs directly.
@Sven I guess you didn't get what I need.
1- Save us long hours of manual import for tier 1 links built with other tools. Can you imagine the time needed to manually import verified urls in 160 projects on 5 different servers? That's 800 projects that need manual import!! A huge pain in the neck.
2- Ser will be a flying Tier2 auto pilot tool for those who use other tier 1 tools with automatic export feature. Just set it once and forget it!
Any chance to add this feature please ? or maybe just make the %spinfolderdelete-C:\SomeFolder\% active in verified url window ?
is that possible please ?
no, that will not work...I will try adding this differently.
added for next update in "External APIs" tabs.

It was supposed to be January, but it is almost April soon! Well, like they say, better late than never! Forty-four was the magical number this time, and I'm glad to see many of my regulars, and of course our new friends.
We started with the simple appetiser, but I was too busy running from table to table that the calamari turned cold by the time I returned!
Dallas signature Quesadillas was one of the dish which I remembered from my previous visit. Tasting almost like a Mexican taco, there was chicken bits soaked with tomato in chicken broth.
There was some confusion when the ribs were served. The three different flavours of Fiery, Alabama & Smoked Hickory BBQ were too alike! Because we did everything in tasting portions, the pork ribs had to be cut and served this way, otherwise we were be there until four.
There was some feedback that the wings were too dry and lacked marination.
The "twin" brother which looked almost identical to the Corn & Crab Fritters.
A total number of 44 people turned up for this LIC food outing, thank you everyone! Like I've mentioned, there will be no date announced yet for the next lic food outing, I will try to organise it soon, so see you next time! I'll also like to thank Jason, the owner for Dallas for hosting us.
I will be adding the group photos to my Facebook page later. Do add me there to see the photos!
Read about my previous visit to Dallas here.
Heh your photos also not bad what! Not as over-exposed as you say! Hmmm, macro lens really make a difference! Anyway, congrats again for a successful event!
it was a really fantastic outing, i enjoyed myself tremendously, good to see my favorite people again hehe. thx for organizing brad, and cheers to more outings in future!
Cool beans, when will you do a LIC outing in KL? It's sure no mean feat getting 44 folks together for a makan session. Well done!
i stumbled upon your blog when i search for hort park.
can i include your link as my favourite in my blog?
Our corn and crab fritters never came. And dry and lack of marination doesn't even begin to describe the wings.
We didn't get the corn/crab fritters but we didn't ask for them cos we had enough of fried stuff.
Thanks for the outing LIC!
Bobos last blog post..So much noise!!
Evan: hahaha ok next time do smaller outing so dont need to run about!
Nic: hahaha thanks dude. yeah all of a sudden its two years already!
No offense but even though you don't control the food, there is an implied responsibility. Shrugging off responsibility is definitely not the way to go. Please dont be mistaken. I am not blaming you. I am just letting you know about the implications and repercussions. I hope you realise that its easier to change reality then to change perception.
A cross-straits outing sounds great! Last time I was in Singapore, I had the pleasure of being taken for dinner by Keropokman and his lovely Momo. Can't wait to have the Singaporeans over to KL too!
Life for Beginner: hahahah! Keropokman and momo came for Dallas too! Let me know the next time u come over, den we can organise a outing. heh.
i liked dishes no. 2 & 3, and the third level of the place (: but the event was a little segregated in terms of people arrangement, so there wasn't much interaction except within our own tables..
gosh. i regretted not attending. boooo ~ the next time, the next time i am going to be there !
i msut say that organizing is nv easy and i personally think brad is doing a pretty gd job already.
once again shrugging off responsibility. event organiser should Take The Initiative to facilitate a ice breaker session. fail.
eh dun have group photos leh. where where?
Okey dokes, sounds good! I'm thinking one of these weekends before I fly off to UK for my vacation in May. Ahoy, Lion City!
maureen: haha be patient la, i will upload to facebook soon.
hi brad, great photos..though i didnt attend, understand you must be put in great deal of effort to put everythg together..
anyway, One man's meat is another man's poison , so it's definitely not your responsibily (or even impossible) to ensure everyone luvs the food..
good job anyway..hope to join one of your trails very soon Jia You!
Wow you're on the other side of the planet from me, but that's my home town cooking there!
cant believe what i've missed out.
judy: hahaha no worries, there's always next time! i'm a bit busy to organise one now, but will try to do it asap!

Attribution studies are more difficult in the global south, where reliable climate data are often lacking, and where local research capacities are limited. But these are some of the places most at risk from climate change and the extreme weather that it can spark. Otto hopes that lower-income countries will be able to strengthen their research in these areas in coming years, with support from wealthier countries.
"Lucretius, a disciple of Epicurus' and thus also an Epicurean, advanced a further argument against death's being a harm. He argued that since we do not regret the period of non-existence before we came into being, we should not regret the non-existence that follows our lives."
— Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence by David Benatar | Ch: Death and Suicide (Conclusion) | pg. 213
That is to say, it is likely that my version allows for death to be a benefit more often than the usual view. . . In many cultures (including most western cultures), there is immense prejudice against suicide. It is often viewed as cowardly where it is not dismissed as a consequence of mental illness. My view allows the possibility that suicide may more often be rational and may even be more rational than continuing to exist. This is because it may be an irrational love for life that keeps many people alive when their lives have actually become so bad that ceasing to exist would be better.
Pollyannaism leads most people to think that they and their (potential) children will be spared all this. And indeed there are some, although extremely few, who are lucky enough to avoid non-inevitable suffering. But everybody must experience at least some or other of the harms in the above catalogue of misery.
Even if there are some lives that are spared most of this suffering, and those lives are better than I have said they are, those (relatively) high-quality lives are exceedingly uncommon. A charmed life is so rare that for every one such life there are millions of wretched lives. Some know that their baby will be among the unfortunate. Nobody knows, however, that their baby will be one of the allegedly lucky few. Great suffering could await any person that is brought into existence. Even the most privileged people could give birth to a child that will suffer unbearably, be raped, assaulted, or be murdered brutally. The optimist surely bears the burden of justifying this procreational Russian roulette. Given that there are no real advantages over never existing for those who are brought into existence, it is hard to see how the significant risk of serious harm could be justified. If we count not only the unusually severe harms that anybody could endure, but also the quite routine ones of ordinary human life, then we find that matters are still worse for cheery procreators. It shows that they play Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun—aimed, of course, not at their own heads, but at those of their future offspring.
(via Better Never To Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence (2006 Oxford University Press USA))
"Creating new people, by having babies, is so much a part of human life that it is rarely thought even to require a justification. Indeed, most people do not even think about whether they should or should not make a baby. They just make one. In other words, procreation is usually the consequence of sex rather than the result of a decision to bring people into existence. Those who do indeed decide to have a child might do so for any number of reasons, but among these reasons cannot be the interests of the potential child. One can never have a child for the child's sake."
— _Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence by David Benatar
Personally I think it comes down to your preference for gradual change over decades or centuries, during which time the systemic harms continue (mass homelessness, climate change, horrendous living conditions in impoverished nations, declining mental health, etc.), but instances of exceptional harm flaring up in (increasingly smaller) privileged populations/regions of the globe are minimized by regulation and policing.
Or for rushing revolutionary change at the cost of greatly increased harm over a comparatively (to the alternative) small time-frame.
Personally my preference is for the latter and for the reasons I've explained I believe that the optimal course of action for activists is to cease any efforts to engage with the existing systems of governance, basically abandoning the fight for regulation, which would as you say result in deregulation.
But far from doing nothing I believe the best course of action is in banding together to form small but co-operative groups that instead "opt-out" of the existing economic system, reducing reliance on it to zero by setting up "off-grid" production of necessities like food, power and housing, focusing on recruitment and growing their population as it becomes an increasingly common/normalized and increasingly attractive alternative to the current global capitalist system as both conditions for everyone but the ruling class and the size of the ruling class itself continue to decline.
Probably whilst simultaneously preparing for escalating (and ultimately violent) conflict with institutions of the existing system.

Lack of women-specific cricket equipment hurt, says MD Thirushkamini
Women's CricZone Staff
MD Thirushkamini © Facebook
The level of professionalism and better pay are a couple of changes that MD Thirushkamini, India's opener, has seen in women's cricket in India, ever since they finished runners-up in the Women's World Cup 2017.
"Things have changed for the better in recent times," Thirushkamini told India (men's) allrounder Vijay Shankar on Inside Out with Baggs.
"We are paid better and now we can afford a personal coach, or a trainer or a physio. We need it to step up to the next level."
Thirushkamini, who is the first woman from India to score a century in World Cups, said that the sport is yet to see equipment designed specifically for women.
"I realised this only when I started playing international cricket," she said.
ALSO READ: Important for Shafali to understand what she is doing, says Thirushkamini
"Even now, I use boys' gloves as men's gloves are really huge for me. Shoes too were often big and I had to use double or triple socks to fit into ."
Vijay also agreed and said, "I hope they get exclusive stuff for women soon. If someone like my niece wants to pick up the game, we should be prepared for that."
One of the factors, she believes, that helps shape a cricketer's career is the support staff and she felt it was important to have those around you, who know your game and provide assistance on that front.
"A women's under-19 cricketer now plays a lot of matches and to withstand a very strenuous season, she needs personalised support staff," said Thirushkamini, who has played 39 ODIs for India, including the 2009 and 2013 Women's World Cup.

Det basale reproduktionstal  er det antal mennesker, som hver smittet bærer smitten videre til i en befolkning fuldstændig uden immunitet.
I epidemiologi er  således et mål for, hvor smitsom en infektiøs sygdom er, og det er vigtigt for at vurdere, hvor hurtigt sygdommen kan sprede sig i en befolkning.

Det basale reproduktionstal afhænger generelt af tre faktorer. En smittet har sandsynligheden  for at give smitten videre til en person, som vedkommende er i kontakt med. Den smittede er i kontakt med  personer pr. tid, og  er tidsperioden, hvor man kan smitte.  er produktet af disse tre størrelser:

Det ses, at  kan mindskes ved at reducere én eller flere af faktorerne.  kan reduceres ved fx håndvask og at holde afstand,  ved isolation/karantæne, og  kan evt. forkortes med medicinsk behandling. Omvendt kan  og dermed  stige hvis smittede er i kontakt med særligt mange usmittede, f.eks på natklubber og skibe.

 estimeres på grundlag af matematiske modeller og er ikke konstant for en organisme, men afhænger af for eksempel miljøfaktorer, befolkningsadfærd, beskyttelsesforanstaltninger m.m.

Dette adskiller sig fra det effektive reproduktionstal ( eller ), der er antallet af mennesker, som hver smittet bærer smitten til i en aktuel befolkning (hvor nogle er vaccineret, nogle allerede er syge, nogle er døde osv.).

Værdier for kendte sygdomme
I tabellen er fremlagt estimerede  for forskellige sygdomme.

Estimering med SIR-modellen

SIR-modellen er en kompartmentsmodel for spredning af sygdom. En befolkning betragtes som bestående af tre grupper: en andel smittemodtagelige , en andel smittede  samt en andel , der ikke længere er smittet. Dette er andele af det totale befolkningstal, så summen giver 1. Ændringen i antallet af smittede over tid er givet ved:

Det første led siger, at smitten spreder sig hurtigere, jo flere er smittede, og jo flere er modtagelige for smitte.  repræsenterer, hvor mange én person smitter pr. tid, og er derfor relateret til de tidligere størrelser ved:

Det andet led fortæller, hvor mange holder op med at være smittede pr. tid, hvor  er lig med den inverse smitteperiode:

Der er en epidemi, så længe differentialkvotienten er større end 0:

Med disse størrelser kan det ses, hvad der må gælde for  og  i begyndelsen af epidemien:

I begyndelsen af epidemien er der meget få smittede, så . Antallet af smittede er småt, men positivt, så det kan divideres væk på begge sider. Uligheden er da:

Det ses, at venstresiden blot er et udtryk for :

For at en sygdom bliver til en epidemi, skal  altså være større end 1. Ved at tilpasse modellen til data kan  estimeres.

There are two schools of thought on the qualities needed to become a fashion designer. One school of thought believes that an eye for fashion is inborn and God gifted and cannot be acquired through practice and perseverance. The other school of thought on the other hand believes that it is hard work and perseverance that can make a fashion designer out of a kid.


In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, Hand in Hand charity held a telethon to raise money for the millions of people affected. During the broadcast, Beyoncé made a powerful speech urging people to donate, stick together to help one another and, importantly, acknowledge the consequences of climate change. "During the time when it's impossible to watch the news without seeing violence or racism in this country," she starts, "just when you think it couldn't possibly get any worse, natural disasters take precious life, do massive damage, and forever change lives".
She continued by highlighting how such disasters don't discriminate: "They don't see if you're an immigrant, black or white, Hispanic or Asian, Jewish or Muslim, wealthy or poor. It doesn't matter if you're from Third Ward or River Oaks, we're all in this together."
Beyoncé's goes on to speak about climate change. "The effects of climate change are playing out around the world everyday. Just this past week, we've seen devastation from the monsoon in India, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake in Mexico and multiple catastrophic hurricanes," she explained. "Irma alone has left a trail of death and destruction from the Caribbean to Florida to the Southern United States. We have to be prepared for what comes next."

SubTopic Government security
Group identifies top 20 security controls to thwart cyberattacks
Experts said the latest list could help government agencies address FISMA compliance by prioritizing cybersecurity initiatives to block the latest attack vectors.
Robert Westervelt, TechTarget
A group of public and private sector security experts identified 20 security controls to help government agencies block attacks against critical systems and lock down sensitive data.
SearchSecurity.com:
To get security news and tips delivered to your inbox, click here to sign up for our free newsletter.
The 20 important controls for effective cyber defense and FISMA compliance, presented Monday as the Consensus Audit Guidelines (CAG). The group said it's the first step toward providing specific audit guidelines used by the Federal government to ensure a minimum standard of security controls are in place for agency systems and the civilian contractors they do business with. It also addresses recommendations issued by the Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency.
The list could help agencies better prioritize the actions they need to take in securing themselves, said Ed Skoudis, founder and senior security consultant with InGuardians Inc. Skoudis was the technical editor that helped pull together the list from guidelines issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and other organizations.
Federal cybersecurity efforts:
Amit Yoran on DHS, federal cybersecurity: In this podcast, Amit Yoran, former cybersecurity czar at DHS and a veteran security pro, discusses the Obama admin's security priorities and why information sharing hasn't worked.
DHS should lose cybersecurity authority, experts say: A group of security and policy experts told a House subcommittee Tuesday that cybersecurity should move from DHS to the White House.
Cybersecurity czar signals government cooperation at RSA Conference: Cybersecurity chief, Greg Garcia told RSA Conference attendees that government, enterprises and academia need to work together to fight growing Internet threats.
"If you defend against the attacks of 10 years ago or five years ago, you're going to get owned," Skoudis said. "You need to defend against things five or 10 years ago, but you also need to defend against attack vectors we're seeing today." Lawmakers have been critical of the Federal government's ability to address cybersecurity and lock down systems that are under constant attack. Last September, the Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency recommended moving cybersecurity authority from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to the White House to gain better control on how all agencies prepare for a major online attack. The goal of the commission has been to develop a coherent strategy that helps protect all government agencies.
The project to develop the security controls list was led by John Gilligan, president of the consulting firm Gilligan Group. Security experts, including penetration testers, U.S. Department of Defense cybsersecurity experts, The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) and representatives from the National Security Agency contributed to the project.
The list includes four categories or levels that progress from easiest to implement to more technical techniques that may require more time and an investment in technology. The first group lists fundamental security controls that can be implemented without any major change to current processes or an organization's environment. These controls include taking an inventory of hardware and software, controlling the use of administrative privileges and securing hardware and software configurations on endpoint devices.
A second group of security controls focuses on ways a company can gain visibility into system operations and establish event monitoring to determine which systems generate security events. For example, the group of controls includes log monitoring and analysis and account monitoring and control.
Another group of controls also addresses ways an organization can reduce vulnerabilities and address network configuration issues. It addresses application software security and firewall and router configurations. The most advanced controls identified by the group include ways organizations can improve security of the most sensitive networks. For example, an organization using two-factor authentication for a sensitive system may want to implement two-factor across all systems.
"It's designed to help [agencies] focus on those areas that are most commonly being exploited today," Skoudis said. "It also helps organizations that already have a robust security infrastructure, take it to next level."
Dan Galik, CISO of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said the list will help the federal government realign its cybersecurity objectives across agencies.
"I think it will go a long way towards recalibrating the Federal cybersecurity efforts away from being what many have described as a report card driven paper-work exercise, to instead being now properly focused on meaningful efforts to improve the real security posture of our operational systems," Galik said in a statement.
The group said the controls should be examined and prioritized against an organization's current use of security technologies and policies. The project is seeking comments about the list from the public until March 23 when pilot tests are set to begin within several agencies.

NEWS FROM NIGERIA November 26, 2015
OYAKHILOME FACES JAIL IN SOUTH AFRICA
South African government has threatened a jail term for Pastor Chris Oyakhilome if his church, Christ Embassy, fails to release its financial records, the South African-based News24 is reporting.
According to Sahara Reporters, the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities said several religious leaders in the country could be jailed if they fail to comply with the demands of the commission.
The commission said it was investigating the commercialization of religion and abuse of people's beliefs and had summoned several churches to appear before it with their ordination certificate, registration certificate, bank statements, and annual financial statements from 2012.
Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva said the commission had been forced to take a legal route because some of the church leaders had failed to comply with her commission's directive.
"Some of these religious leaders will face prison if they do not comply and we have been clear about our course of action," Mkhwanazi-Xaluva told News24.
"Some religious leaders have also threatened the commission, which is leading us towards the legal route."
Mr. Oyakhilome, the founder of Christ Embassy, had indicated he would take a legal action to stop the commission from forcing it to open his books, according to Ms. Mkhwanazi-Xaluva.
Christ Embassy had earlier sought an extension of time to enable it review its financial records.
Ms. Mkhwanazi-Xaluva said they were also considering filing charges of intimidation against religious leaders who had publicly threatened the commission.
She wondered why some pastors would take money from their followers and, yet, refuse to provide their financial records.
"These people take money from people," she said.
"What are they doing with that money? We want to know. We will not back down.
"If he (Mr. Oyakhilome) intends on that route, we are ready. He will have to face the same fate as the others who refuse to hand over their financial records."
While most of the old traditional churches – including the Catholic church, the Methodist church, the Presbyterian Church, and the Lutheran Church – had requested an extension of time; a lot of the new breed churches had threatened court action.
Earlier this month, a South African pastor, Paseka Motsoeneng, told the commission he would rather go to jail than hand over his financial records.
Mr. Motsoeneng (popularly known as Mboro), the head of Incredible Happenings Church, is known in the country for his healings and miracles.
"Now the headlines will be saying Mboro has R10 million in his account…. I have enemies. Now they will know my strength and weakness… I want to protect myself, my church and my ministry so I have to look and consult thoroughly with my lawyers," he said.
"For my belief, I will be glad to go to jail. Even now, I can be taken there."

The title of Fred Schwed's seminal classic "Where Are the Customers' Yachts?" says a lot about Wall Street.
The general trope about Wall Street is that investment managers are out for themselves and get rich off their customers who earn far less in returns. And for the most part, Schweb's book and that general attitude about the street is correct.
So after years of this, the federal government said enough is enough and put in place various provisions to safeguard investors, especially when it came to their retirement savings. Dubbed the fiduciary rule, the law and the piece of regulation have the potential to upend the advice game on Wall Street.
It's also being fought tooth and nail by many insiders and investment pundits.
No matter what the official outcome of the rule is, the cat is already out of the bag and the investment world will never be the same again.

Larsa Pippen Posts "Only The Real Can Relate" Amid Malik Beasley Scandal
46-Year-Old Hot Girl Larsa Pippen Claps Back At Her Critics
Posted on December 4, 2020	 - By thatsmybiz
Larsa Pippen turned her IG comments off but she's clearly not backing down.

Just days after images surfaced of the 46-year-old mother of four holding hands with 24-year-old MARRIED NBA player Malik Beasley, Larsa took to Instagram Thursday to post a pouty self-portrait which she cheekily captioned, "Only the real can relate."
Pretty bold on Larsa's part right?
It's not her first time commenting on social media in a way that seemed to speak to the scandal either. On Wednesday, December 2, she took to her Instagram story with a message that read, "Don't always trust what you see on social media. Even salt looks like sugar."
Should we take that as a sign she wants the world to believe she wasn't the nail in the coffin for Malik Beasley's marriage?
Meanwhile sources close to E! say Malik Beasley's newlywed wife Montana Yao has already put the paperwork in to end their marriage.
"Montana filed for a divorce the day she saw the photos," the insider said. "Montana never cheated, and it's not in her character. She's not dating anybody. She's a family person. She's focusing on taking care of her son with her parents. They are quarantining together. Her son is her first priority."
Apparently Malik and Larsa's relationship has been brewing for several weeks, as an insider previously told E! News the pair have been texting and making plans to see each other for several weeks. The same insider alleged that Larsa knew Malik was married BUT Beasley "played it off that him and Montana were having issues and ending their marriage."
"She thought Malik was in the process of ending his marriage and she wasn't doing anything wrong by hanging out with him," the source said. "Larsa and Malik are still in touch and are planning to see each other again when the news blows over."
The status of Pippen's own marriage to Chicago Bulls champ Scottie Pippen isn't exactly clear to the public right now either. The couple wed in 1997 but ran into turbulence in recent years. He filed for divorce in 2016 — but called it off, then Larsa re-filed in 2018.
The scandal hasn't kept Larsa from promoting her new jewelry line Larsa Marie. She posted a photo of her new Billboard Thursday, December 3rd. Check it out below:
Do you think the scandal will help or hurt business for her?

The genetic purity and diversity of the Fermilab bison herd

Out in the crisp pastures north of Fermilab's Main Ring, a herd of winter-coated fluff can be found huddling together and munching on hay in the nippy, January wind. The Fermilab bison – a spectacle for the community and an icon of the lab's zeal for discovery – are a treasure with a lineage that dates back thousands of years.
However, as the American bison population rapidly declined during the early settlement era, bison were at risk of extinction, and farmers often bred them with other bovine species. So what is the backstory of Fermilab's bison? Are they purebred, and where do they come from?
To answer these questions, Fermilab ecologist Ryan Campbell submitted tail hair samples of all 17 of the lab's animals in October to Texas A&M University for genetic testing.
"We've had these wild bison for years," Campbell said. "We're just now finding out that they're 100 percent bison with no evidence of cattle genes."
Back in 1969 when Robert Wilson, the lab's first director, first brought five bison to the laboratory, testing bison genetics was not a consideration.
When the Nature Conservancy reintroduced bison to their Nachusa Grasslands site in October 2014, they thought they had the first wild bison born east of the Mississippi River in over 200 years, according to Fermilab Roads and Grounds Manager Dave Shemanske.
"These groups genetically tested their animals before they brought them in, and we never did that in our 47-year history of receiving the animals," Shemanske said. "We bought animals from reputable farms, inspected them prior to purchase, and we got kind of lucky with our herd."
The DNA Technologies Core Laboratory at TAMU has mapped multiple bovid species genomes, and the Fermilab bison were tested against the national herds that the university previously sampled.
"This genomic testing technology is relatively new, and I don't think we ever had a goal to have a 'pure herd' until we had scientific research to tell us about its importance," Campbell said.
A pure herd is indeed valuable for a prairie ecosystem, as the animals are natural grazers and can tame tall grasses, which easily dominate prairies in the absence of wild bison. They also help create an environment where a variety of species – such as grasshopper sparrows, native butterflies, bees and reptiles – can thrive.
Fermilab's bison are considered "wild" because of their genetic purity, Campbell said. Unlike other prairie preserves, Fermilab's bison are kept on a pasture, not on Fermilab's prairie land. This is to ensure their safety and the public's safety when visiting.
Shemanske said all these factors are important for future purchases of wild bison.
"We need to test to make sure that any new bison bulls we bring every five to seven years don't interrupt the genetics of our herd by accidentally introducing cattle genes into them," he said.

The lab's herd can lay claim not only to genetic purity, but also a lineage that spans the country. Eight federal bison herds throughout the United States are linked to the lab's bison. Almost half of the genome in the herd sample came from Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, the same source population as the Nature Conservancy bison.
"There's a lot of genetic diversity," Campbell said.
Having pure bison genes from multiple, geographical areas can produce offspring that have an advantage against various diseases and that can withstand drastic changes in climate. Shemanske and Campbell plan to continue genetic testing before introducing new individuals, noting its usefulness in ensuring the herd's diversity.
Armed with the knowledge that the herd is healthy and wholly bison, Campbell and Shemanske continue to promote the lab's vision of cultivating an environment in which visitors can still watch and admire one of America's great grazers.
"We have a world-class neutrino program here, but we also have a world-class environment," Shemanske said. "The bison are an important piece of this community."

El Tractat de Tianjin (diversos documents s'hi refereixen com el Tractat de Tien-tsin) () és el nom col·lectiu de diversos documents signats a Tianjin (Tientsin) el juny de 1858, donant per acabada la primera part de la Segona Guerra de l'Opi (1856-1860).

Les parts implicades van ser el Segon Imperi Francès, el Regne Unit, l'Imperi Rus i els Estats Units. Aquests tractats van obrir més ports xinesos (veure tractat de Nanking) als estrangers, van permetre la presència de delegacions diplomàtiques a la capital xinesa, va permetre l'activitat dels missioners cristians, i la legalització de la importació d'opi.

Els xinesos inicialment es van negar a signar el tractat, però finalment va ser ratificat per l'emperador Tongzhi durant la Convenció de Pequín del 1860, després del final de la guerra.

Dates
La Dinastia Qing va signar el tractat inicialment amb l'Imperi Rus, el 13 de juny de 1858, a continuació amb els Estats Units el 18 de juny de 1858, després amb el Regne Unit el 26 de juny de 1859 i finalment amb el Segon Imperi Francès el 27 de juny de 1859.

Aquests tractats no van rebre el nom de "Tractat de Tien-tsin" en el moment de la seva signatura, però històricament són anomenats com el "Tractat de Tien-tsin".

Termes

Punts principals
 Regne Unit, França, Rússia i els Estats Units tindrien el dret d'establir delegacions a Beijing.
 Onze ports xinesos més s'obririen per al comerç exterior, incloent-hi Niuzhuang (Newchwang), Tamsui (Taiwan), Hankou i Nanjing.
 El dret dels vaixells estrangers, incloent-hi els vaixells de guerra, per navegar lliurement pel Riu Yangtze.
 El dret dels estrangers a viatjar a les regions interiors del país amb el propòsit de viatjar, establir comerç o realitzar activitats missioneres.
 Xina havia de pagar una indemnització de 2 milions de Taels de plata al Regne Unit i a França respectivament, i una compensació de 2 milions de Taels de plata als mercants britànics.
 Es va prohibir l'ús del caràcters "夷" or "yi" (literalment bàrbars de l'est) en referència als oficials britànics o els assumptes de la Corona, a les cartes oficials i a altres documents intercanviats entre la Xina i Regne Unit.

Definicions
Els Tractats de Tientsin fan servir diverses paraules que tenen significats ambigus. Per exemple les paraules "establiment" i "concessió" sovint poden ser confoses. El terme "establiment" es refereix a una parcel·la de terra arrendada a una potència estrangera i que està integrada per persones tant estrangeres com nacionals, on estrangers elegits localment les governen. El terme "concessió" es refereix a un contracte d'arrendament a llarg termini d'una terra a una potència estrangera on la nació estrangera té el control total de la terra i és governada per una representació consular.

Participació Americana
Seguint el model establert per les grans potències europees, els Estats Units van adoptar una postura proteccionista, van construir la seva armada, i van tractar de crear un imperi mercantil. Van ser un dels líders de la signatura del tractat amb la Xina, forçant al govern xinès a fer un total de 23 concessions als estrangers. Encara que sovint es fa patent, que els Estats Units no tenien el control de cap establiment a la Xina, de fet compartien els privilegis de les terres britàniques i fins i tot se'ls va convidar a prendre el control de Xangai, però van declinar l'oferta atès que creien que eren terres desfavorables.

Brazil president Bolsonaro cuts short Guyana, Suriname trip 10:12 am
Artiste gunned down in St James 9:55 am
The right partner can make all the difference between finding the best and settling for the rest
with Debra Fraser
In the 80s and 90s, the US Army had a very aggressive recruitment programme focused on wooing young men in particular to enlist to 'defend the greatest country on Earth'. While the American constitution sanctions drafting recruits, the focus of the recruitment programme was strategic voluntary enlistment — appealing to the sense of patriotism and dangling the opportunity to gain a college education.
Now, while companies don't necessarily go to those lengths to source candidates, executive search agencies can sometimes wage all-out psychological warfare when it comes to coaxing the best talent from one organisation to another.
Double-Edged Sword
The rule of thumb in relationships is that if someone is willing to leave someone else for you, then best believe they might end up doing the same thing to you. This is a also reality for organisations and third-party partners who offer recruitment process outsourcing services. To use a sports reference, it's almost like the free agency mayhem we see taking place in the NBA right now. While the Toronto Raptors won the NBA title for the very first time, there was nothing they could do to convince their star player Kahwi Leonard, who spent only one year with them, to remain in Toronto for at least another year. Nope. He was recruited to join the LA Clippers and that's the end of that. It's a similar risk companies take when they draft star corporate athletes from a competing team; think FLOW to Digicel, or vice versa. Questions abound. Where do their loyalties really lie? How long will they be a player on their team? Sometimes it makes more long-term sense to recruit players with promise and develop them than to focus only on superstar talent. Google Steph Curry.
HR On Call
No doubt though, for companies whose labour force needs require them to be responsive to opportunities, other options than case-by-case recruitment may be required. A typical business process outsourcing (BPO) company, for example, can have a staff complement of 100 employees today, and need 100 more in two weeks. In order to effectively source the ideal candidates at such short notice, the retained services of an HR service provider may be necessary and may be a more cost-effective method of finding the right people on call.
Even conventional organisations use this outsourcing medium to bolster existing internal recruitment programmes and afford themselves greater flexibility when targeting and retaining candidates with a long-term view in mind. Most in-house HR departments wouldn't normally have the resources to focus on this aspect of business.
Which takes us back to the US Army reference. Although the Army had communications specialists enlisted, they hired advertising agencies to craft and deliver the message to the right media. The point is this: having the right partner can make all the difference between finding the best and settling for the rest.
Until next time, leaders, keep lookin' up!

New player lit lantern tutorial and demo mission.
R Soul and LarryG, both tutorials are now added to the list (see here at the top).
Many tutorials in the list are at risk of dissapearing forever, either because only one website currently hosts it or because only one website contains the most complete version of a tutorial. Notice the * characters and texts like "(includes picture)".
I don't know which ones are worth saving from oblivion and which are not, but I urge any hosters who come across a tutorial they deem useful, to store it at another (more permanent) location. Please PM me if you've done so.

One tutorial entry that is missing is a step by step guide for complete idiots like me on how to upgrade your existing dromed installation to the newdark box of delights.
I have a seperate dromed setup away from my T2 game installation.
I have the newdark 1.21 downloaded and all those zip folders and no idea whatsoever where they go, which ones I use for dromed or what go's where.
Remember you are dealing with a sixty year old idiot that thinks all mobile phones should be drowned.
Please put me out of my misery..what do I do.
Step 1. If you don't already have a zip extraction program, such as Win-Zip, WinRar, or 7-Zip, then your first step is to download one of these. I personally use 7-zip and it's free. Secondly, once you've done that, you'll want to double-click on the zip file you downloaded (assuming your zip program associates the .zip with it) so you can view it's contents.
game, which is older than v1.18, then you need to update it to v1.18 first.
"lg.ini" before installing the new update.
You have an additional zip(editor.zip) to extract because you are trying to patch dromed. First of all, I'd recommend backing up your dromed.exe, menus.cfg,DromEd.cfg, darkdlgs.dll before upgrading. You can do this by just renaming these files so they don't get overwritten. Secondly, extract the contents of editor.zip into your thief 2 base directory.
Step 3. Launch dromed. That's it!
Thank you...I will see if it works.
I'll have a look, Larry, and see if I can figure out what needs doing. I may well need help.
Updating is going pretty well (elsewhere) and these last few tutorials will/have been included.
Just found that the described link for the Camvator in The Dromesday Book is wrong. I imagine that most of the links to that wiki are wrong, as it was reorganized a year or so back.
Tannar, mostly, with me as general assistant/dogsbody have checked every link in the OP and updated where necessary. But I will go and double check that one again.
Yeah, I'd already fixed that link. All of the links are correct now and we're at the stage of adding all new tutorials to the list. Once that's done (hopefully soon), well do some last minute clean ups and then post the new list. We think you're gonna like it.
We finally finished updating the tutorials list in the first post of this thread. It was a lot of work but we think you'll be happy with the result. Among other things, every tutorial now has a link so they are only a click away. Also, we've added all the new tutorials we could find but if anyone knows of any that we missed, please post here or send me a PM and I'll add it.
It should be much easier now to keep this thing up to date but we need your help. If you write a new tutorial (or find a new one that isn't listed here) let us know by posting in this thread or send me a PM (posting in this thread is the best method because then everyone can see it). For that matter, if you notice anything that you think needs changing, let us know.
I'd like to thank Nickie for the tremendous amount of work she put in on this project. I would never have been able to tackle this whole thing without her help.
Brethren has been kind enough to copy over to Southquarter all the tutorials that were only hosted on sites available using the Internet Wayback Machine. So, thanks to him, these all now have a more permanent home. Thank you, Brethren, that was mighty generous!
I'll be adding links to them all at his site as I get the time.
Another thing to consider is that some of the old automap tutorials (like the ones written by Caeyr and Zaccheus) don't make use of cutout and makerect, which are tools that make the process a lot simpler (especially if one is not all that comfortable around hex-editors). Salvage's tutorial do, however.
Last edited by qolelis; 9th Mar 2015 at 17:31. Reason: The upload proved to be redundant.
Thanks for that, qolelis! Now if anyone would be kind enough to host this file, I'll add a link to it in the tutorial section.
Description/keywords: How to make maps for DromEd in GIMP.
This is the same as the new one I uploaded, but I forgot I did this. The new upload isn't needed then and with R Soul's new tutorial it's even less needed, so I'm going to remove it now.

Ensuring Coffee Sustainability in Lampung
Petir Garda Bhwana
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Some 90 high school students, male and female, seated separately across from each other, were listening attentively to their trainer who was speaking on "Coffee Vocational Training" loudly because she could not use a microphone.
The state-owned electricity company had conducted a rolling power cut that Wednesday afternoon (September 18) in West Lampung.
After speaking on her subject, the trainer asked one of the female students to repeat how to process coffee by the wine-coffee method. Each student listened carefully to their peer who read from her notes about the method, and then they were asked for their comments.
"I want to be a doctor, but first I have to help my parents look after their coffee plantation so it can produce quality coffee. That will allow my parents to afford my education," said Alya Septiani, from Class 10, who was asked to repeat the wine-coffee method after the class was dismissed for a break.
Alya's parents are farmers who own a family coffee plantation in Waisulo Village, located about nine kilometers from Batu Brak I High School. She goes to school by motorcycle every day, just like other students in the school, whose parents are also coffee farmers.
"My parents used to grow the coffee tree in the way it was supposed to be grown. I mean they already know how to process coffee beans, but based on the knowledge I received from this training, our coffee is still categorized as low quality," she said.
Alya was not alone, as parents of other students were traditionally cultivating the coffee, and they were satisfied as long as they grew coffee beans in abundance.
However, they would gain a better price if they upgraded their farming techniques, according to Otik Nawangsih, the trainer who is a coffee expert from the Agriculture Technology at Lampung University.
With around 163 thousand hectares of plantation, West Lampung is the largest Robusta coffee producers in Indonesia and among those in Southeast Asia. Yet, the quality is relatively lower than that of other producers in the region, such as Vietnam, Otik said.
"Lampung's Robusta has good potential as it is a speciality where it is grown. What we should do now is increasing its quality for a higher selling price," she noted.
To change the way farmers cultivate their coffee is not easy. Otik said. For example, they are used to chemical fertilizers, which is expensive but considered practical, she opined.
Also, the way they sun-dry their coffee beans on bare ground, without putting any layer in between, would damage its taste and aroma.
"They think it is an efficient way, and they think the buyer won't be aware of such a process, but they know. A coffee exporter knows just by looking at it," Otik said.
Traditionally-processed coffee can normally be sold at around Rp15,000 to Rp18,000 (about US$1 to US$1.2) per kilogram, but the price of highly-cared coffee could start from Rp20,000 (about US$1.5) per kilo, Otik added.
It might seem a small difference, but for many small farmers who on average produce one ton of coffee per harvest, a small rupiah addition to the selling price means a lot.
Muryati, a senior student of Class 12, expressed her intention to elevate the coffee farming method practiced by her parents. She would tell her parents to switch from chemical fertilizers to an organic one made from a mixture of goat's excrement and coffee cherry's skin, she said.
Now that she understood the benefit of organic fertilizers, such as the lower price and being environmental-friendly, she would urge her parents to use it as they also owned some goats, she said.
"I used to help my parents pick the coffee cherries during the harvest season. They told me to throw away its skin around the coffee trees without knowing that it needs to be mixed with goat's dung first," she said.
Otilk appreciated the good intentions of the students to pass on the knowledge they received from the training to their parents. But in her capacity as their trainer, she wanted to inspire the students to go further, which was to be better coffee farmers than their parents, she said.
Earlier, Alya had said that she wanted to be a doctor, while Muryati said she wanted to leave the town after graduating to the province's capital Bandar Lampung for a job. Both girls responded with a shrug when asked if they would take after their parents and become coffee farmers.
"Of course, their dreams, whatever they are, are valid. But my concern is that these farmers' children are too pessimistic to continue their parents' business, because they are unaware of the potential coffee has," Otik noted.
Moreover, if all young people migrate to the city, the town would be left with senior citizens. That means not only would development be hindered but the next generation of coffee producers would be lost.
Thus, during a two-day training she mentored, Otik said she wanted to motivate the students to be better quality farmers in the future. From there, she would continue with the coffee farming process, including pre and post-harvest, as well as how to manage its sustainability.
"You don't see it, but I started it with a YouTube video about coffee culture in the world. It was about how many people around the world like to drink coffee, and how much they like our coffee, their coffee from West Lampung," she said, adding that she also received many shrugs with the same question: who wants to be a coffee farmer?
"But when I asked, 'Who wants to be a cafe owner?' many of them raised their hands," Otik said laughing.
Acknowledging the challenges, Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) as the sponsor of the training, was determined to start early in educating the young generation about what coffee has to offer for their future.
"So it is also helping, intervening in farming education in the early ages. Most of the projects have a quite a good gender component so we try to involve more women in the education," LDC Regional Corporate Communications Manager Priscilla Teo stated.
On its 20th anniversary in Indonesia, LDC aims to reiterate its commitment on sustainability that includes four pillars, namely people, partners, environment, and community, one of which is through the "Coffee Vocational Training" program.

Q: how to keep state data after refresh the page in nuxt3 Nuxt3 State data loss when refresh the page.
I also use localStorage and sessionStorage but the data is loss.
How can i keep state data after refresh the page.
This is my source code.

enter image description here

A: Just trying to explain the localStorage. I can't help you more without the entire code. That said, try getting the data from the localStorage before setting it. I'm guessing testState.value.input.val is empty, when you refresh. You're then saving empty to the localStorage and then retrieve it.
try localStorage.getItem before localStorage.setItem
Explanation:
The State allows you to share a data across components/pages. It will initilize when you start/refresh your app. The localStorage data stays saved in your browser. I would recommend to use localStorage.setItem() alongside with useTestState().setState() Meaning there where you save the data to the State also save it to the localStorage. Then where you initialize the State initialize it with localStorage.getItem()

New standards developed by Educators Rising to "define what high school students exploring teaching need to know and be able to do to take their first steps on the path to accomplished teaching" were released last week during a launch event at the National Education Association headquarters in Washington, DC.
Educators Rising, launched in August 2015 and powered by PDK International, sought feedback from a variety of community stakeholders before releasing the final standards that aim to embolden the "grow-your-own-teacher" movement emerging in communities and states throughout the country. The standards address understanding the profession, developing strategic relationships and content for students, planning and implementing instruction to meet students' needs, and using assessments and reflection constructively.
The National Policy Board for Education Administration (NPBEA) seeks comment by May 22 on new draft standards for leadership preparation programs. Once approved, these preparation standards will replace the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) standards and be used to guide the educational leadership program design, accreditation review, and state approval of preparation programs for principals and superintendents.
The proposed National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) Standards specify what novice leaders should know and be able to do, at the building and district level, after completing a high-quality educational leadership preparation program. The new draft aligns the standards for preparation programs with the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL) approved by NPBEA last fall. Formerly known as the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards, the PSEL standards articulate the knowledge and skills expected of school leaders broadly.
