-I noticed equiping weapons (Litterally typing in "/Equip Such and such" litterally make you wear them like an article of clothing. I like the sheathing idea that this seems to be the framework for, But what it needs is actual sheaths and clasps to hold the apropriate class of weapon (Maybe with the ability to enchant the sheaths in order to 'charge' weapons while they are in them.) That way they don't take extra cloths slots.
-I went to the mission given from the shack at the start. It was a bounty. When I touched the square it was on the bounty completed automatically and there was no fight. I didn't even have to explore the area. Just magically killing bounty targets by being near them really dosn't work. Do somthing about this pls.
-I can wear furnature?!?!?!!!? I can equip things like cabinets, chamber pots, and bookshelves. I KNOW this can't be right.
-The define command needs allot of work example: Typing "/define status" gives no results, instead of giving a list of status effects and what they do.
- So I tried to smash a supply crate. The responce was: "/smash is not a valid comand" So I pressed E on it and the very next line stated: "You smashed open the supply crate." Gonna have to either make smash work OR stap mentioning how "Smashable" those are in the discription.
-Taking a knee (N key) does what now?
ANNNND that about wraps it up. I hope this helps with development in some way or form.
- I'll take a look at the scroll weight problem and include a fix in the next update.
- Regarding the combat dummy - I think having it do actual damage is useful for testing your resilience and triggerable effects, but agree that I could add another tip or two to inform players about resting to recover health.
- The freeform nature of equipment slots is very intentional, and if someone wants to wear 6 different kinds of goggles or a glass table, more power to them.
I completely sympathize with your desire to have the game convey more information, but that's not what FARA is about. Ideally, you're supposed to try different things out and do you best to remember what works well and what doesn't. If you haven't already, please be sure to join us on Discord! https://discordapp.com/invite/TxECEtn. The community is pretty active, and there are many players willing to offer tips and tricks on getting by.
Thanks! Your obviously a very active dev. And I do love simple looking games that are infinitly deep!
I do like the idea that your going freeform with it now that you've stated thats your intentions. Having total freedom can absolutly make outstanding games. Divinity original sin, and the elder scrolls (morrowind and later) series are PRIME examples of freedom in games. But they have there limits, as well as any other 'succesfull' freeform games I have seen. If it's to open ended, and there are no constraints at all then it is like a pile of dry sand: Infinite potentential to be sculpted into whatever you want. But without constraints (Adding water) It will never hold it's shape, and will always colapse back into the pile of sand it was.
So keep it open ended as possible! BUT give it structure. Just an opinion.
Thanks again for the quick responce.

Cabaret Voltaire és el nom d'un grup musical anglès, format originàriament per Richard Kirk (veu, guitarra), Stephen Mallinder (veu, baix) i Chris Watson (sintetitzador, orgue, caixa de ritmes, cintes), tots tres provinents de Sheffield. En els seus primers anys, Cabaret Voltaire foren un dels grups iniciadors del corrent de la música industrial, juntament amb grups com Throbbing Gristle, SPK o Einstürzende Neubauten; tanmateix, a partir de 1983, amb l'edició del seu disc The Crackdown, el seu estil canvià radicalment i CV es convertiren en exponents del funk electrònic, amb diversos èxits dins de l'escena musical alternativa.

Biografia

Inicis: experimentació i dadaisme
El naixement de Cabaret Voltaire es pot situar cap a principis dels anys 70; després de veure una conferència de Brian Eno en què aquest es declarava com a "no músic" i explicava el seu mètode de creació musical, a partir de cintes ja enregistrades, el trio format per Kirk, Mallinder i Watson decidí de crear la seva música fent servir mètodes semblants, també inspirats per músics com Holger Czukay, el baixista de Can. Watson, seguidor del dadaisme, tingué la idea de batejar el grup amb el nom d'un local de reunió a Zúric dels primers dadaistes.

Per dur a terme els seus primers experiments musicals, Cabaret Voltaire únicament comptaven amb un oscil·loscopi, un clarinet i un reproductor de cintes, que guardaven al pis del mateix Watson; el 1975 tocaren per primer cop en directe a Sheffield en un concert que acabà amb el grup enfrontant-se amb el públic. Un any després, els CV posaren música i imatges addicionals a una actuació anomenada Exhaust de l'artista Jean-Yves Bosseur; seguint amb el seu instint provocador, la "música" consistia en una cinta que repetia contínuament la paraula "Exhaust". Alguns d'aquests experiments sonors poden escoltar-se al casset 1974-76, que resumeix aquesta fase de la seva experimentació sonora; la recopilació conté un tema apropiadament anomenat "The Dada Man". El disc fou publicat el 1980 al segell discogràfic "Industrial Records" (de Throbbing Gristle).

Etapa industrial
El 1977, l'aparició del punk va fer que CV afegissin al seu estil propi alguns elements d'aquest nou corrent; així, el tema "Nag Nag Nag" mescla una caixa de ritmes frenètica amb baix i altes dosis de distorsió aplicades a l'orgue, la guitarra i la veu de Kirk. El 1978 enregistren al seu nou estudi "Western Works" el seu primer senzill (publicat al segell Factory Records), l'EP "Extended Play", on inclouen una versió de "Here she comes now", dels Velvet Underground. Entre 1978 i 1981 enregistraren una sèrie d'àlbums de música industrial molt influents, entre ells els aclamats Mix-Up (1979), The Voice of America (1980) i Red Mecca (1981). L'èxit d'aquests discos els portà a fer una sèrie de gires per Europa, Amèrica i fins i tot per Japó, on enregistraren un disc en directe, Hai! (1982).

Kirk i Mallinder, sols
El 1983 Watson deixà el grup per formar The Hafler Trio i, posteriorment, treballar com a enginyer de so a la BBC. Kirk i Mallinder van fer un gir cap a la comercialitat en els seus següents discos, incorporant nous estils a la seva música, com el funk i la música house (al disc de 1990 Groovy, Laidback & Nasty). Durant aquesta època els treballs videogràfics de CV guanyaren alguns guardons.

Però ja a mitjans de la dècada dels 80 els membres de CV començaren a endinsar-se en activitats per separat; Kirk publicà diversos treballs en solitari sota diferents àlies i Mallinder es traslladà a Austràlia i també publicà material en solitari. El darrer treball de CV amb la veu de Mallinder fou el senzill techno "Colours", publicat el 1991. Encara entre 1993 i 1994 aparegueren més temes de CV però en format instrumental.

Des de llavors, Kirk ha deixat aparcat el grup, i tot i que en alguna ocasió s'ha manifestat partidari de publicar nou material de CV amb músics més joves (cosa que descartaria la participació de Mallinder), fins enguany això no s'ha produït.

Q: Language specific 404 error page in cloudfront I have a cloudfront distribution serving an s3 bucket. To make the page multilanguage, I added a lamba@edge function that analyzes the Accept-Language header and redirects /<page> to /en/<page> or /de/<page>.
The redirect happens with a 303 return code so that the users gets /en/<page> as the path shown in the browser and can switch languages by going to /de/<page>.
Works! But what is in case of a 404? If I configure a custom 404 page in S3 or cloudfront and the user requests /de/<non-existing-page>, he gets redirected to the custom 404 page (for example /error-pages/404). But that page is not translated!
Is there a way to make the 404 page language specific? Depending on if the user comes from /en/<page> or /de/<page>?

A: I found a solution.

*

*use 2 S3 Buckets (or as many, as you have languages), one for each language and put the files for each language in the corresponding bucket

*configure the ErrorDocument for each bucket to the language-specific 404 page

*In your CloudFront distribution configure an origin and behavior for each language such that the PathPattern /<language>/* is directed to the origin fetching from the s3 bucket for language <language>

Over the Edge (1979)
Can a movie affect a person's behavior? This one did.
Even though Jonathan Kaplan's story about an uprising of teenagers in a planned California suburb was quickly pulled from the theaters after a limited release, it was in heavy rotation on HBO in the early 1980s. One Sunday night, my brother and I watched it with our parents. After Richie White, Matt Dillon is his debut performance, was killed by a police officer, my brother was visibly upset. My father tried to justify the actions of the police. Richie White did have a gun. But my brother was having none of it. They got into a shouting match that almost came to blows.
It's easy to see why Over the Edge was Kurt Cobain's favorite movie. It liberated a rebellious urge in my brother I never knew he had. I used to hate it. I've never been a fan of Matt Dillon. From Animal House to The Warriors to a long procession of movies in the 1980s depicting sex, drugs, and rock and roll as liberation from suburban conformism, the 1970s and 1980s were also the golden age of movies about teenage rebellion. But they never did much for me. Hedonism and conformism in suburban New Jersey in the 1980s were not mutually exclusive.
Watching Over the Edge again after all these years, however, I have to admit my brother was onto something I wasn't. There's plenty of hedonism in Over the Edge, plenty of drinking, drug taking, and teenage sex, but it's never the point. In fact, for Richie White, Carl Willat and their fellow teenagers, hedonism wasn't rebellion. It was a reflection of the despair they felt at living in a sterile, planned suburb, over being bullied by policemen who had too much extra time on their hands, and at adults who cared for nothing but money and social status.
What made Over the Edge so explosive was not hedonism but solidarity and community. The teenagers in New Grenada aren't defending their right to take drugs, drink, or have sex, but to gather together at a place called the "rec," a community center run by the film's only sympathetic adult, a young woman named Julia. Julia asks one of the kids to get rid of a can of beer, but she doesn't punish him. She's the symbol of intelligent authority. She talks to the kids but doesn't lecture them. For the rest of New Grenada's adults the point of exercising their authority over their kids isn't to help them grow into self-disciplined adults, but merely to exercise authority for its own sake.
Modeled on Foster City, California, a planned "community" built on a landfill, New Grenada is looks a lot more like the ethnic banlieu in Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine than it does like a posh suburb in a John Hughes film. New Grenada's adults almost seem to see their own children as a foreign race, as a menace to be dealt with rather than the future. The kids, in turn, have a correspondingly nihilistic attitude towards the city government. Over the Edge opens with two kids on a freeway overpass. One of them, Mark Perry, Vincent Spano, has a BB gun. After they shoot out the window of a police car, they take off on their bikes. They meet Richie and Carl Willat, Michael Erick Kramer, and tell them to hide. Mark and his friend escape, but the policeman who had been driving the car, a Sgt. Doberman, a bland but effective Harry Northup, arrest Carl and Richie instead. Doberman knows he has the wrong kids, but it doesn't matter. Any kid will do. So he trumps up some charges against Richie and take them both down to the station.
Carl, who's from a higher social class than Richie, gets off more easily. Richie is the son of a single mother, but Carl's father is a member of the local elite. He owns the local Cadillac dealer. When Richie returns home, his father is meeting with Jerry Cole, the president of the Homeowner's Association. A rich Texas oilman is planning to visit New Grenada. Cole wants to close down the "rec" center on the day of the visit and Carl's father agrees. They don't want New Grenada's youth "problems" to scare off potential investors. They put money over their own children. The next day, Sgt. Doberman comes to the rec center. Julia protests that he can't come inside without a warrant. She defends the teenagers' "safe space" but Doberman bullies his way in anyway. He arrests one kid over drugs and tells the rest he could arrest them too any time he wants. It's not about the drugs, in other words. It's about the exercise of arbitrary power. Carl, outraged over the way his father's mercenary nature has led to the violation of their community, booby traps the Texans' car with firecrackers. They decide not to invest. Carl and Richie meet two girls. One of them has robbed a house, taking nothing but a 38 caliber revolver.
The next day, Richie brandishes the gun in front of Sgt. Doberman. Doberman shoots him dead.
The adults don't care. Richie wasn't important. Do they ever care in real life? Ask Ramarley Graham's parents. But they do care about their property values. So they call a meeting at the high school. How do you deal with the youth "problem?" As they blather on about vandalism, about property values, about supporting the police, the kids outside are planning a rebellion. Whatever their differences, all of the kids in New Grenada get organized. They chain the doors shut. They set police cars on fire. Only Julia, who's able to win the trust of one of the children she knows from the rec center to talk him into giving her a telephone, saves the adults of New Grenada from ending up like all the teenagers in Brian DePalma's Carrie. The rebellion is broken up. Carl is sent to jail. But it ends on a happy note. Carl and his friends go to jail knowing that, for a brief time, they had organized a real community. They had overthrown their parents rotten, greed based social order. They'll be out of juvenile detention in a few years, and, like my brother, they'll all be better off for having stood up for themselves.
If Over the Edge lacks some of the poetic beauty, understanding of imperialism and racism, and uncompromising nihilism of La Haine, Over the Edge is still the American La Haine. Perhaps it would be better to call La Haine the French version of Over the Edge. In any event, it's still worth seeing, if only to get a look at the kind of film that crap like Porky's, Sixteen Candles and American Pie were made in order to co opt. Could Over the Edge be made today? Maybe a better question is why, in the age of stop and frisk, films like Over the Edge aren't being made today. Now more than ever, we need another American La Haine.

Fear of Dobermans was a big deal in the 1970s. I think Richard Pryor actually had a comedy routine on the subject.

"Driving High? Kiss Your License Goodbye"
Just like drunk driving, drugged driving is impaired driving, which means it is illegal in all 50 States.
Whether the drug is obtained legally or illegally, driving while drug-impaired poses a threat to the driver, vehicle passengers, and other road users.
Between April 20 and April 22, The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department will join participating law enforcement from Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma in "Driving High? Kiss Your License Goodbye!"— a six-state Drug Impaired Driving enforcement campaign to put an end to drug-impaired driving. Law enforcement officers across the state will patrol the roadway concentrating law enforcement efforts on high traffic corridors, organizers hope to put motorists on guard and encourage sober and safe driving.
Drug-impaired driving is a serious safety issue for drivers and law enforcement on Texarkana Arkansas roadways. By intensifying enforcement of drug-impaired driving laws, the hope is, people will think twice before driving while impaired by any drug.
It is never safe to drive when impaired. This not only means refraining from drunk driving, but also from drug-impaired driving. If you think driving while high won't affect you, you are wrong; it has been proven that THC – the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects – slows reaction times, impairs cognitive performance and makes it more difficult for drivers to keep a steady position in their lane.
The bottom line is this: It doesn't matter what term is used if a person is high, stoned, wasted or drunk, he or she is impaired. Driving while impaired by any substance is illegal and can be deadly to the driver and other road users.
The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department's goal is to save lives and they're putting all drivers on alert – Drug-impaired driving is against the law.

Howard Zinn, R.I.P.
Dave Gilson
Deputy Editor (Magazine)Bio | Follow
Wikimedia Commons photo under CC License
Historian Howard Zinn has died at age 87. Zinn was best known for A People's History of the United States, which turned the glossy, textbook version of American history on its head by pointing out that far from being an unbroken chain of political and economic progress, our history was one of conflict along class, racial, and gender lines. Though Zinn's radical, bottom-up approach cast aside the America-first tone of mainstream texts, it was still guided by a deep sense of commitment to what he saw as often-neglected American ideals. As he wrote in 2004, "History, looked at under the surface, in the streets and on the farms, in GI barracks and trailer camps, in factories and offices, tells a different story. Whenever injustices have been remedied, wars halted, women and blacks and Native Americans given their due, it has been because 'unimportant' people spoke up, organized, protested, and brought democracy alive." Still in print after 30 years, A People's History has removed the scales from many an undergrad's eyes, and has won its fair share of famous admirers, from Viggo Mortensen to Matt Damon (who name-dropped it in Good Will Hunting and just opened a stage adapation of it.) For more of Zinn's recent writing and thinking, see this 2005 interview or his commencement address at Spelman College, where he was fired in 1963 for—amazingly—his civil rights activism.

Source: Spiral lights signaled Maitreya's imminent emergence
LOS ANGELES — Share International, a worldwide network of individuals and groups whose purpose is to make known the fact that Maitreya — the World Teacher expected for generations by all of the major religions — and his group of spiritual masters are now among us in human bodies, has announced that the recent mystifying spiral lights that appeared over Norway in December were an extension of the work of four enormous spacecraft placed around the world.
The lights in the sky, which have been appearing since December 2008 and are expected to continue, reportedly are a sign heralding the imminent appearance of Maitreya. Share International announced on January 14 that Maitreya has given his first interview on American television, not introduced as Maitreya, but as a single man like us who "spoke earnestly of the need for peace, achievable only through the creation of the sharing of the world's resources."
Since 1974, British artist and author Benjamin Creme has been the principal spokesman for Maitreya, telling audiences worldwide that the spiritual avatar will emerge when the planet is in need of his help and energy "towards oneness, justice and freedom for all people."
Maitreya reportedly will be giving more interviews in the U.S., Japan, Europe and elsewhere to inspire hope in the world. Following these interviews, a "Day of Declaration" is expected in which Maitreya will telepathically connect with humankind on the individual level to inspire us to create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, and global cooperation.
Speaking through Creme, Maitreya has said, "When I make myself known, I shall express the hope of all mankind for a new life, a new start, a readiness to change direction; to see the construction of a New World in which men can live in peace; can live free from fear of themselves or their brothers; free to create from the joy in their hearts; free to be themselves, in simple honesty."

This Quote Sums Up Muhammad Ali's Bravery on Civil Rights
Dave Fonseca
Boxing champion and civil rights icon Muhammad Ali died at the age of 74 on Friday, NBC News reports.
Ali is legend thanks to his audacious boxing style and massive list of accomplishments in the ring. But he was more than just a boxer, he was an outspoken champion of civil rights at a time when being such a thing required real bravery.
There's probably no greater example of the risks Ali was willing to take than when in 1967 he refused to be inducted into the United States military, an act of protest against the Vietnam War that led to him being stripped of his boxing licenses across the country. He was only 25-years-old at the time — a boxer at the peak of his career — and he lost the right to fight for three years because of what he believed in.
After the public learned that Ali had been put on life support, fans naturally began celebrating his legacy. Twitter user Yousef Munayyer shared this quote from Ali about his objection to the war that still resonates to this day.
"Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?
No, I am not going ten thousand miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would put my prestige in jeopardy and could cause me to lose millions of dollars which should accrue to me as the champion.
But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is right here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality…
If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn't have to draft me, I'd join tomorrow. But I either have to obey the laws of the land or the laws of Allah. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I'll go to jail. We've been in jail for four hundred years." — Muhammad Ali
According to NBC News, Ali was surrounded by family at the time of his passing.

Located in the Robert & Cheryl McEwen Gallery.
Édouard Baldus: The Louvre Folios, 1855–1857 highlights the photographer's commission from the French government to document the remodeling of the Louvre, the centerpiece of massive renovations that changed the face of Paris under Napoléon III. Architecture had always been a favoured subject of photographers, but it was only with the Louvre commission that photography began to be used as part of the building process.
Baldus and his assistants created hundreds of images, largely of sculptural elements destined for the elaborately decorated buildings. The photographs were used in various novel ways: as aids to the architect, building managers, and sculptors; as models for illustrations that appeared in the French press, keeping the public in thrall as construction progressed; and as propaganda sent to foreign heads of state, demonstrating the ability of the Second Empire to carry off this vast and complex project and the talent of its artists and builders.
The photographs on display were present on the building site. They are drawn from six folios, assembled around 1860, that are now in the collection of Toronto-based architect and librarian Robert Hill. They reveal the scale of the construction project and the commission, as well as the technical skill and monumentalizing style that helped make Baldus the most celebrated architectural photographer of his day.
The exhibition is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and is co-curated by the AGO's Curator of Photography, Sophie Hackett, and Kate Addleman-Frankel.

Modernist Vancouver Fire Halls Going Going Gone…
Posted by Sandy James Planner in Annals of Motordom, City Conversations, Energy, Infrastructure, Sustainability
Modernist Fire Halls A thing of the Past
There is a lot of history in Vancouver Fire Halls and retired fireman Alex Matches has documented and written about much of it. There are political stories, where firemen in the City of Vancouver in the early 1900s were not allowed to "cross the line" into neighbouring Point Grey to put out a house fire. And there were still a few amazing early stations to go through even twenty years ago. One located on east of Main Street is now demolished~but it had a circular wooden ramp inside for the fire horses to walk up as they were bedded down on the second floor in standing stalls. The standing stalls areas were still there, along with the cribbing marks made by bored horses teething on the wood. In its construction and its use, it was a thing of beauty, something we would have marvelled at today. It was demolished for a more late twentieth century version.
As reported in the Vancouver Courier there are "modernist" fire halls built between 1950 and 1970 that are now facing demolition in Vancouver that have "unique features include huge, open bays and massive hose-drying towers." As Heritage Vancouver's Patrick Gunn observes "The architects from the '50s on, they looked at this use and, instead of hiding it, they really celebrated it and that's where you come up with the amazing, strong, visual forms."
"No. 5 fire hall at 3090 East 54th Ave. — one of the earliest of the modernist fire halls — was demolished in 2016. Dating back to 1952, it was designed by Townley and Matheson, the architects of city hall. It's being replaced with a new building topped with affordable housing. The expected completion date is the end of 2018.
Gunn said while the building needed upgrading there were ways to achieve that without demolishing it. "It's a community loss. It's a visual point in the community similar to schools. So you eradicate that and then you have something new built, which is functional and safe, but Vancouver has lost another piece of its architectural legacy, which plaques and photos can't replicate."
Fire hall No. 17 at 7070 Knight Street is now going to be demolished with an energy-efficient building replacing it. Even though the modernist fire halls are on the annual endangered sites watch list as "an important part of the movement towards modernist civic architecture in Vancouver during the post-war period" they are not being conserved.
The following other fire halls are described by Heritage Vancouver as potentially endangered:
No. 2 at 199 Main St. at Powell, which was built in 1950 and renovated in 1974.
No. 7 at 1090 Haro at Thurlow, which was built in 1974.
No. 8 at 895 Hamiliton St. at Smithe, which is the reverse design of fire hall No. 7. The concrete building was built in 1973.
No. 9 at 1805 Victoria at East Second Ave., which was built in 1959 with a concrete and masonry façade.
No. 20 at 5402 Victoria Dr. at East 38th Avenue, which was built in 1962. Heritage Vancouver describes it as an "interesting single-storey structure with a window curtain."
Fire halls that fall under the "brutalist" subset of modernist buildings include fire halls No. 7 and No. 8. "brutalist" architecture as using a lot of raw concrete and being even more massive than mid-century ones."
Fire department historian Alex Matches book on Vancouver's Fire Department history and heroes is available here.

Identity Thief A Mere Shadow Of Hughes' Classic Road Trip Comedy
Posted on February 9, 2013 by philspicks
Courtesy: Universal Studios
Universal Studios' latest attempt at a buddy comedy comes up far short of the John Hughes classic which it tries to emulate. This road trip buddy comedy is a mere shadow of Hughes' 1987 classic, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Where Hughes did everything right with his movie, writer and director Steve Conrad and Seth Gordon have combined to make a movie in Identity Thief that struggles at best to come across as an update of what is a much better story. Thank goodness for veteran actor Jason Bateman (Arrested Development, Extract, etc.). If not for his acting chops, this movie might have completely sunk. He manages throughout the story to pick up the slack left by co-star Melissa McCarthy whose character is annoying in herself, while she as an actress falls flat in her attempt to be funny. It would be interesting to find out if other actresses had been considered for the role or even another actor before the higher ups decided on her. Even the inclusion of guest stars Robert Patrick (T2, The Unit) and rapper T.I. didn't do a lot to help the movie.
Identity Thief has more than its share of problems. But for all of its negatives, it would be unfair to ignore the few funny and at least semi-heartfelt moments that are peppered throughout the story (as few as they are). The story does offer at least a tiny amount of heart in that McCarthy's Diana does reach a point where she begins to realize how she is and begins to change ever so slowly. Audiences see hints of Diana's change when she decides not to take Sandy's (Bateman) car one night at a hotel. Eventually her own growth leads Sandy to his own point of self-discovery and realization. That realization leads to his own personal growth. The personal growth of both Sandy and Diana does help move the story. And thankfully there are some equally enjoyable moments of physical comedy that help move the story along. Sadly though, those moments aren't enough to make up for the mass of slower moments that bog down this near two hour movie. Those slower moments leave a movie that clocks in at just under two hours feel more like a near two and a half hour movie. Needless to say that considering this, it's the final nail in the coffin for this failed attempt at an update of a classic. It's one more movie that proves there's nothing better than the original.

RARE ALL RED EXAMPLE WITH EVIDENCE OF HEAVY, LONG-TERM USE AND PREHISTORIC RE-SHARPENING.
Fashioned in RARE solid wine red jasper that Fontmaure tools are famous for, this is a beautiful Mousterian flake CONVERGENT SCRAPER. It was made on a thick flake and was intended for heavy tasks. This flake tool is complete and in its original form as it was made by Neanderthals at least 40,000 years ago. All cutting edges are still intact as made. Intact original sediments from the layer in which it was dug are still attached on some surfaces and the microscopic crevices - evidence of authenticity not found in fakes or altered artifacts. It was made from a colorful piece of jasper, the aesthetics on this piece are unlike what is usually encountered which would have really made this tool stand out in prehistoric times.
Unlike inferior surface-collected specimens that occasionally are offered on the market, this tool was dug from the actual subterranean level that was once a Neanderthal occupation layer. What this means is that it was not weathered and damaged by exposure to the elements or plow. This entire specimen is in perfect, AS MADE condition with a rich natural soil sheen from long-term sediment burial. Original minerals and patina deep in microscopic crevices and hinge fractures provide evidence of its prehistoric authenticity, traits not found in modern or altered copies. Possibly a prestige tool, this is a beautiful, as well as rare Neanderthal artifact. NO RESTORATION, REPAIR OR MODERN DAMAGE. Our fortunate purchase of a very old private Dutch collection allows us to offer this SCARCE Neanderthal artifact.
NOTE RARE ALL RED EXAMPLE WITH EVIDENCE OF HEAVY, LONG-TERM USE AND PREHISTORIC RE-SHARPENING.

Autoimmunity and primary immunodeficiency: two sides of the same coin?
Autoimmunity and immunodeficiency were previously considered to be mutually exclusive conditions; however, increased understanding of the complex immune regulatory and signalling mechanisms involved, coupled with the application of genetic analysis, is revealing the complex relationships between primary immunodeficiency syndromes and autoimmune diseases. Single-gene defects can cause rare diseases that predominantly present with autoimmune symptoms. Such genetic defects also predispose individuals to recurrent infections (a hallmark of immunodeficiency) and can cause primary immunodeficiencies, which can also lead to immune dysregulation and autoimmunity. Moreover, risk factors for polygenic rheumatic diseases often exist in the same genes as the mutations that give rise to primary immunodeficiency syndromes. In this Review, various primary immunodeficiency syndromes are presented, along with their pathogenetic mechanisms and relationship to autoimmune diseases, in an effort to increase awareness of immunodeficiencies that occur concurrently with autoimmune diseases and to highlight the need to initiate appropriate genetic tests. The growing knowledge of various genetically determined pathologic mechanisms in patients with immunodeficiencies who have autoimmune symptoms opens up new avenues for personalized molecular therapies that could potentially treat immunodeficiency and autoimmunity at the same time, and that could be further explored in the context of autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
autoimmunity و نقص ایمنی در گذشته به صورت دو طرفه در نظر گرفته شدند؛ با این حال، افزایش درک مکانیسم‌های پیچیده سیستم ایمنی و سیگنال دهی دخیل، همراه با کاربرد آنالیز ژنتیکی، نشان‌دهنده ارتباط پیچیده بین سندرم‌های نقص ایمنی اولیه و بیماری‌های خود ایمنی است. نقص‌های تک ژنی می‌تواند باعث بیماری‌های نادری شود که اغلب با علایم اتوایمیون همراه هستند. چنین نقایص ژنتیکی افراد را مستعد عفونت‌های مکرر می‌کند (یک مشخصه از نقص ایمنی)و می‌تواند باعث immunodeficiencies اولیه شود که می‌تواند منجر به اختلال در تنظیم ایمنی و خودایمنی شود. علاوه بر این، فاکتورهای خطر برای بیماری‌های روماتیسمی polygenic اغلب در همان ژن‌ها وجود دارد چون جهش که منجر به سندرم‌های نقص ایمنی اولیه می‌شود. در این بررسی، سندرم‌های نقص ایمنی اولیه مختلف همراه با مکانیسم‌های pathogenetic و ارتباط با بیماری‌های خود ایمنی، در تلاش برای افزایش آگاهی از immunodeficiencies که همزمان با بیماری‌های خود ایمنی رخ می‌دهد و نیاز به شروع آزمایش ژنتیکی مناسب را نشان می‌دهد. آگاهی رو به رشد مکانیسم‌های مختلف پاتولوژیک در بیماران مبتلا به immunodeficiencies که علایم خود ایمنی دارند راه‌های جدیدی را برای درمان‌های مولکولی شخصی باز می‌کند که می‌تواند به طور بالقوه ایمنی و خودایمنی را در همان زمان درمان کند و این می‌تواند بیشتر در زمینه بیماری‌های روماتیسمی خود ایمنی بررسی شود.

In COVID-19 era, former Gophers wrestler Pat Smith juggles need for competition and compliance
It can be hard for Minnesotans to keep up with the state's COVID-19 regulations, which have shifted and changed throughout the pandemic. Multiply that by four or five, and you'll get a taste of what Pat Smith is trying to decipher.
The former Gopher from Chaska is resuming his globe-hopping ways, heading to Europe as he pursues an Olympic berth in Greco-Roman wrestling. That requires some extra preparation in the era of coronavirus. In between workouts, Smith has been educating himself on testing mandates in Croatia, mask rules in Sweden and what's open and closed in France.
"I have to know entrance requirements for each country, and the protocols in connecting airports," Smith said. "It's definitely interesting. From what I can tell, I have to make sure I get a COVID test right before each one."
The next place Smith visits will be Nice, France, for this weekend's Henri Deglane Grand Prix. Smith is among 33 U.S. athletes participating in the tournament, which includes freestyle, Greco-Roman and women's wrestling. The Greco-Roman bracket is Sunday, with Smith competing at 77 kilograms (169.8 pounds). Continue reading at startribune.com →

Chasing medals must wait for Minnesota's Olympic hopefuls
With the Tokyo Games now in 2021, local Olympic hopefuls reset dreams
Tori Dixon had begun to feel it was inevitable. With the sporting world essentially shut down by the coronavirus pandemic, and a rising chorus of voices pushing for the Tokyo Olympics to be postponed, the Burnsville native had started to accept the fact that her Summer Games dream might be deferred.
She was still holding out hope, though, when she woke up Tuesday morning.
"Then I saw my phone was blowing up,'' said Dixon, a member of the U.S. women's volleyball team and a former Gopher. "And I read the news.
"Everyone had a million questions, but I was still trying to process what was going on. It was like a bomb dropped, and you just had to pick up the pieces." Continue reading at startribune.com

Smith goes 0-1 at the World Championships
Minnesota Storm wrestler Pat Smith (77 kg/169.5 lbs) lost his first match of the tournament to Germany's Roland Schwarz, 5-3. Smith scored on a passivity point and a step-out to lead 2-0 after the first period. In the second period, Schwarz scored a passivity point to cut the deficit to 2-1. The German then scored with a four-point throw to go up 5-2. Smith would add a step-out point, but it wasn't enough.

Smith receives his draw at the World Championships
Minnesota Storm wrestler Pat Smith (77 kg/169.5 lbs) begins his second World Championships against 2019 European silver medalist Roland Schwarz of Germany. Schwarz was 7th in the 2018 World Championships and 5th in the 2018 Military World Championships. Smith's previous World Championships appearance was in 2015.
Former Gophers wrestler Pat Smith is peaking as 2020 Olympic Trials approach
If he had a bigger ego, Pat Smith might have been insulted. Instead, the former Gophers wrestler from Chaska was simply amused by Kamal Bey's boast.
Before their bout at last spring's Final X tournament, Bey compared himself to a Ferrari — and said Smith reminded him of a Honda Civic. It didn't bother Smith at all, partly because a Civic would have been a major upgrade for him. At the time, he was driving a decrepit 2001 PT Cruiser, one that was headed for the junkyard before he bought it from a co-worker with the $80 he had in his wallet.
"It's not quite a Honda Civic," Smith said, chuckling. "But I think it fits me well."
Smith got the last laugh, beating Bey in a best-of-three series at Final X to win a place on the U.S. Greco-Roman team for wrestling's world championships. He begins competition Monday in the 77-kilogram weight class (169.8 pounds) in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. The nine-day tournament, which starts Saturday, is the first chance for countries to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Continue reading at startribune.com

Global Connect, Worldwide Broadcast video delivery over the internet with 99.9% uptime PROVEN fact!
Purple Turtle was approached by FlowTV of the TBI group South Africa for a solution for delivering their channel FlowTV to Sky in the UK for broadcast on satellite. Their current Telkom dedicate leased line circuit was creating major packet loss thus affecting their video to the point that the channel was off air for major periods of time affecting viewership as well as broadcast partner's interests.
Purple Turtle had just the solution for the client as it's a service we do on a daily basis and have a 3 year proven track record to show the technology works. Rather than dealing with the clients Telkom leased line we opted to rather go another route. Client had an existing fibre leased internet line coming into their office.
Through use of Purple Turtle Global Connect video delivery packet management software we informed the client that we would not use their leased line to the UK but rather we would use public internet on their office line to deliver their broadcast channel to Sky in the UK. As you could imagine the clients face was less than pleased with using the internet. We assured the client it would not only work but work better than their current expensive leased line. As you could well understand the client was sceptical so we offered to do a week free trial for them.
We made use of existing hardware and broadcast encoders the client had around to avoid costs and deployed the solution. We also implemented a link monitoring system visual display as well as SMS notifications system for the client that sends them a SMS if there are any distribution problems so they are aware of problems and where the problems is before they get the call that there is a problem.
The difference was immediately seen and the client received many calls from the UK praising the stability right after the demo link went live. Tweaking was done to finalise the solution and the client was ready to adopt the system full time. Best of all the solution saved the client money on a monthly basis. Currently the client sees 99.9% uptime (stats for 1 Feb to 1 March 2015) and this is using public internet and not leased lines.

The "Original" Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls
Can the scrolls help expose the original Bible language within the Masoretic Text and Septuagint?
Noah Wiener • 03/08/2018
For centuries, Bible scholars examined two ancient texts to elucidate the original language of the Bible: the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint. The Masoretic Text is a traditional Hebrew text finalized by Jewish scholars around 1000 C.E. The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Torah created by the Jews of Alexandria in the third century B.C.E. (The other books of the Hebrew Bible were translated over the course of the following century.) According to Septuagint tradition, at least 70 isolated ancient scholars came up with identical Greek translations of the Torah.
Which is the "original" Bible? How do we decide which of these two ancient texts is more authoritative? In "Searching for the 'Original' Bible" in the July/August 2014 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review, Hebrew University of Jerusalem scholar and long-time editor-in-chief of the Dead Sea Scrolls publication team Emanuel Tov suggests we turn to the Dead Sea Scrolls to help us compare the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint.
Some of the Dead Sea Scrolls actually have more in common with the Greek Septuagint than the traditional Hebrew Masoretic Text, showing that the Greek translators must have been translating from Hebrew texts that resembled the Dead Sea Scrolls. Are the Dead Sea Scroll texts as trustworthy as these other two sources? Are they as close to the text of the original Bible
Some turn to the Dead Sea Scrolls simply because they are older: 2,000-year-old texts were less likely to be subjected to scribal corruption, implying that they reflect a more original Bible language. Tov supplements this chronological reasoning with a logical—and admittedly subjective—approach: He examines which text makes the most sense in a given context. Tov examines a number of textual discrepancies between Bible versions (Did God finish work on the sixth or seventh day before resting on the seventh day? How were the nations divided according to the number of the sons of God?) in his search for the original Bible.As an example, Tov asks: Did Hannah bring one bull or three bulls as an offering at Shiloh? (1 Samuel 1:24):
Tov uses the Dead Sea Scrolls to elucidate the original language of the Bible not only because they are the oldest Bible manuscripts, but also because they provide additional logical clues. He concludes: "In finding our way in the labyrinth of textual sources of the Bible, we must slowly accumulate experience and intuition. When maneuvering among the sources, we will find much help in the Dead Sea Scrolls. But they must be used judiciously."

by Terry Deary (author) and Martin Brown (illustrator)
Suitable for 8 - 12 years
More books for 8 - 12 year olds
Comedy and Humour > Yucky Books
Graphic and Comic Strip
Multicultural > Irish
Gore at your door! Horrible gets local in this yucky look at your very own nasty nation. It even includes a perilous poster. Cool! Did the Black Death strike on your doorstep? Perhaps the Jack the Ripper murders happened just down the road. Was there a spud famine, a bloody battle or a Blitz bombing? This book will help you to find out. Yup – it's the bloody history of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales: and we think it's the nastiest history of all. The Battle of Hastings, the Great Fire of London and loads more horrid happenings are all right here. In frightful facts, foul funnies and (you guessed it) nasty bits!
Terry Deary
Terry Deary was born in Sunderland in 1946 and currently lives in County Durham. Terry is a former actor, theatre-director and Drama teacher. He spends his time writing and directing for his television production company, managing his website, terry-deary.com, and touring his Horrible Histories exhibition. Terry is the author of 116 books in the UK and over 250 more worldwide, mainly for children and teenagers, including the popular non-fiction series Horrible Histories. Horrible Histories were launched in 1993 and are now sold in 28 languages from Russia to Brazil, Scandinavia to China.
In 2003, Horrible Histories celebrates its 10th Anniversary!
In 1996 Terry was the best selling British children's author with 5 of his books in the top ten best-sellers of the year (Waterstones Book Shop tables). In August 1997 he was still leading the way with thirteen titles in the top forty. (Bookseller listings). In 1999, The Daily Telegraph recorded that he outsold Enid Blyton by four to one and a Libraries survey made him the most-borrowed author of non-fiction in Britain – adult and children's books. Terry currently holds 8 out of the 10 slots for 'Most Borrowed Children's Non-Fiction' authors in the Public Lending Rights annual survey covering July 1998-June 1999. In November 1999 Books for Keeps magazine readers voted him "The outstanding children's non-fiction author of the 20th Century".
Terry's district council have awarded Terry an "oscar" as one of their top citizens and Sunderland University have awarded Terry an Honorary Doctorate in Education (HonDEd) which was awarded in July 2000.
In early 1998, the Top Ten series was launched with two titles written by Terry, Top Ten Shakespeare Stories and Top Ten Greek Legends.
Terry's latest additions to the Horrible Histories series are the Horrible Histories Special: France and Cruel Crimes and Painful Punishment. And if Horrible Histories wasn't keeping him busy enough Terry has also contributed a range of titles to the True Stories series including True Mystery Stories and True Horror Stories.
The Horrible Histories exhibition is up and running in museums around Britain until 2003. He has also just set up a television production company and is negotiating to make a series of audio tapes and writing radio scripts for BBC World Service.
"If you haven't come across 'Horrible Histories' before you've missed a true publishing phenomenon – Terry Deary seems to have invented a whole new genre with his series of books looking at history in an entirely different way." Books Magazine, July 96
"I do not like reading very much and my Mum is pleased that I have found some books I like so much that I read them without being asked!" Fan letter from 10-year-old boy

Q: How pass through a download from a https source to a http connection? I have urls of the following format (I write it as as aregex):
http://exampledomain\.com/files/.+

The URL is requested by a client over my proxy server.
I inject a custom authorization header into this request.
This is no problem, I can do that with mod_proxy and mod_headers in apache.
However this url gives a 302 redirect to another source, that finally should arrive at the client.
This other url is SSL secured and looks like:
https://example.+\.exampledomain.\com/files/.+/.+

It needs the same authorization header than the other one. But because its hTTPS I cannot simply inject it using mod headers.
Therefore my plan is to set up a reverse proxy that I use to request the first HTTP URL with an authorization header. Behind is a script that fetches the request, parses out the second HTTPS URL and Downloads the source with the custom authorization header and passes the received file (bytes and http headers) through to the client.
I am familiar with Apache2 and PHP, therefore it would be nice to stick with theese. But its not necessary.
Just to clarify, we are talking about rapidshare links here. My company is having backup files and storage there, because its the cheapest cloud hosting. There are some job servers that need to fetch files, but I can not configure user/password on them. So the proxy server should add the premium authentication information.
I thought about something like:
proxy.php - this file is requested using the reverse proxy and served by a webserver
this proxy php is written to by a htaccess rewrite rule and by the revery proxy on http://one-or-my-domoains/request-uri-from-the-original-request (That is generated in apache)
$url = "http://example.com/".$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$opts = array(
  'http'=>array(
    'header'=>"Cookie: myauthvalue=example\r\n"
  )
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
stream_context_set_default($context);
$http_content = get_headers($url, 1);

$ssl_location = $http_content['Location'];

$fp = fsockopen("ssl://".parse_url($ssl_location, PHP_URL_HOST), 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    $out = "GET ".parse_url($PHP_URL_PATH, PHP_URL_HOST)." HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    $out .= "Host: ".parse_url($ssl_location, PHP_URL_HOST)."\r\n";
    $out .= "Cookie: myauthorization=something";
    fwrite($fp, $out);
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets($fp, 128);
    }
    fclose($fp);
}

So this should basically pass the ssl download to the standard http connection that the user initiates, instead of the redirect.
My question now is: Will this work? Did I miss something? Are there any caveeats?
I think it will be a reasonable amount of hassle, including the reverse proxy setup and all.

A: well i ended up just doing passthru('wget ....') wich works just fine ;)

Taboo Season 2: Arrival Date And What We Know About It
by May 11, 2021, 6:07 am 0 Votes
In mid-2017, the BBC verbally mentioned that Tom Hardy's 19th-century stunt Taboo would return for a later season, additional provoking James Delaney. The guilty relationship with a remarkable legion of his interesting associates is exceptionally more appealing. Rather till the taboo season, 2 have actually passed, and we'll share the most recent news about their season 2.
In spite of the truth that Taboo's 2nd season was discussed after the program's very first season ended, Hardy and Steven Knight were, for a brief time, hectic with numerous business. In 2018, he set out to begin in Season 2, however it appears fans might require to wait a bit prior to returning.
What is the season 2 release date?
According to Hardy's film strategy, we have no space to movie another eight-episode season, regardless of thinking of that remarkably constant taboo as the titanic business of a star, It will pass. We lastly got the upgrade in mid-2019. The stars will appear in season 2?
