Q: Using zgrep on a remote drive eats space on my local Mac I connect to a remote drive via WebDAV protocol, whereon I have a folder full of about 143 .tar.gz files containing data dumps, whereamong I'm trying to find my email.
Herefor, I use this command:
zgrep -a "my@email.com" /Volumes/storage.address.name/home/folder/Collection\ \#2-\#5\ \&\ Antipublic/*

Once the command is running, I can see my free space on my local MacBook, wherefrom I run the above mentioned command, disappear swiftly, like 0,5 GB per minute. If I let the command run, I would totally run out of space.
Could someone please tell me why is this happening or how to prevent it?

A:
Once the command is running, I can see my free space on my local MacBook...disappear swiftly...
Could someone please tell me why is this happening or how to prevent it?

Operating Locally while connected remotely
The command is acting upon those files as if they were local, even when they are not.  *nix systems have this wonderful feature where you can mount almost anything as if it were a local file/directory.  This "feature" is where you're running into this problem.
To operate on the file, it has to "download" it from the remote, hold it in memory and if necessary, resort to swap space.  If it needs to unzip it (bzip, gzip, compress, etc.) it will likely utilize a temporary file (i.e. mktemp).  Since your command is operating locally, all the resources it will utilize will be local as well - it doesn't know to use your remote for temp space.
You can do a simple experiment to show how this works - move a file from one remote directory to another. Using a simple mount on a NAS (/Volumes/NAS/) if you try to move /Volumes/NAS/folder1/* to /Volumes/NAS/folder2/, this simple operation will need to "download" the files to local machine, then upload them to the destination folder.  However, if you login directly to the server and issue the move command there - for example, mv /home/username/folder1/* /home/username/folder2, it will happen almost instantly.
In your case, it has to extract a number of files from each of those .tar.gz files, download them, store them in a temp location, then load it to memory for as the ASCII text is searched for.
Cleaning up Temp files...
An important consideration to keep in mind is that temp files are not cleaned up until the process has completed or terminated abnormally; if the developer was good about it.  If not, those temp files will be cleared out upon reboot.
If you have 200GB of files to search and a MacBook Air with 128GB or 256GB of storage, you will run out of space very quickly filling it up with nothing but temp files.
How to prevent it
Do you operation on the server (remote machine) itself.  Instead of mounting the remote file/directory locally and operating on it locally, connect via SSH (for example) and issue your command on the remote itself.
Can you specify a different location for the temp directory like the remote?
Technically yes.  For example, gzip uses /tmp and you can set your environment variable to a remote temporary directory (i.e. /Volumes/NAS/tmp).  The problem is, you're still operating on the file locally, so it would "download" the file, and then while extracting them, "upload" all the extracted bits to the remote.

Over that 35-year period, Anthrax has sold in excess of 10-million units, received multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, six Grammy nominations and a host of other accolades from the media, industry and fans. In 1991, their music helped break down race and genre barriers when they collaborated with Public Enemy on "Bring The Noise." And, of course, along with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth, Anthrax helped pioneer the thrash/metal genre as a member of The Big Four. Go here for a look at 35 years of Anthrax.
The most memorable time as a member of Anthrax could have been on September 14, 2011 as it was named "Anthrax Day" in the Bronx. Or June 22, 2010 when The Big Four played together on the same stage for the first time ever in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Anthrax – Ian, Benante, Frank Bello, Joey Belladonna and Jon Donais – will celebrate their 35 years well into the fall playing major festivals, headline shows and as Special Guest with fellow Big Four comrades Slayer. Dates and ticketing info are listed here..
David Taylor, a staunch Anthrax fan, compiled a variety of in-concert clips of the band performing the 1988 classic "Antisocial" over the past three-plus decades, to create a celebratory gift for the band and their 35th anniversary. Check out that tribute video here.


I'm humbled and grateful to be here today. A huge thank you to Michele for allowing me to share my heart. A little background. I've shared my sexual abuse story in the last few years, but I haven't always been so open. Initially I kept it silent for a decade, then over-shared, then went silent another decade. The healing journey hasn't been easy, but it has been good.
It's written from the perspective of a survivor.
It doesn't offer cliche answers.
And my husband shared his unique journey of how to walk a loved one through their sexual abuse.
The following is an excerpt from Not Marked.
I wrote Not Marked because I dared to believe sexual abuse victims can find healing.
While I don't think healing is easy or quick, I am grateful it is possible. No matter where you find yourself, whether you've suffered sexual abuse or not, all of us have issues and traumas we'd like to heal from. And as we process them, here are four truths we all must embrace as we pursue genuine, lasting healing.
Truth One: It is possible to be set free. You can experience the New in the Now. It's available, though the road toward health is often long and arduous. Every new territory gained is an opportunity to rejoice in what Jesus has done and an avenue to beckon others who hurt to join the journey. Each snippet of healing helps you become salve to those who are earlier in their healing path. The most satisfying times of my life, full of energized, effervescent joy, have been when I've had the privilege of coming alongside another and be a part of their healing story.
With Jesus, there is an irresistible future. It beckons. It allures. It hearkens. The past is gone, cradled by Jesus. Today is full of possibilities, and the future is clean and sparkling with potential. Oh to live that kind of freedom-infused, anticipatory life!
Truth Two: We are healed to become healers. Paul reminds us of this: " All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ" (2 Corinthians 1:3-5 NLT). We are made whole so we can usher in wholeness. We are set free so we can be agents of freedom on this enslaved earth. We are touched by Jesus so we can be His hands and feet and heart and life to others needing His touch. It's a great, sweet privilege, and the hidden gem of being healed from trauma.
Truth Three: There is no passive healing. We can't just lackadaisically want healing and hope it comes. Jesus touches us, yes, but He also asks us to do something. To pursue healing. To go to the pool and wash. To so want to be healed that you chase after it. "My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net" (Psalm 25:15 ESV). Note that the Psalmist makes a concerted effort to fix his eyes on God.
My friend Twilla who battles a terrible cancer is instructive. She has pursued physical healing tenaciously, exploring every option. And she's lived several years longer than she would have had she just given up and let the cancer overtake her. Of course this analogy breaks down because eventually she will die (and so will I, and you, and them). But the correlation remains: if you want healing, you have to pursue it.
Truth Four: Often you have to make difficult choices to completely separate from perpetrators so you can heal. Otherwise they open up a gaping wound that never heals, constantly re-injuring a raw sore. And even once you heal, there's no guarantee that you'll ever experience a safe relationship with an enemy. Even from a distance, they may haunt. But they don't need to have power over you anymore. You are a new person. You are a child of God. You are amazing, whole and restored in His sight.
I pray these four truths help you move toward healing and wholeness!
Which of these four truths do you most need to remember today?
Michele, thank you for letting me share your space here. What a sweet, sweet privilege. I pray this post blesses anyone who has dealt with pain and trauma in the past.
You're so welcome, Mary. Proud of your courage and determination to "comfort with the comfort you've received." Proud to be your friend and cheerleader on this mission.
What kind words, Eileen. Thank you. It's so very hard to pursue healing (because it hurts) but we do so to be an agent of healing.
Never wasted. That both amazes me and comforts me. Love your heart, Eileen.
Yes, I love your heart!!!! Listening is where it starts, followed by asking genuine questions and offering empathy and prayer. Thank you for loving others well!
Michele, thank you for inviting Mary to share this here.
Mary, thank you for being a light in the darkness. I can relate to all 4 of your truths. I had to estrange myself from my family of origin in order to begin the grueling challenge of healing. Jesus was with me every step, but it was not a passive journey. Mom and I reconciled after 12 years, though dad died before we saw each other again. He was too dangerous.
God has called me to share my story in order to give others hope as well. I firmly believe the less we feel alone, the more likely we are to move toward healing. I look forward to reading your book, and admire your tenacity to publish it. I may need to remind myself of your determination when the time comes if I receive similar resistance from publishers.
Denise, thanks for being brave, and for daring to heal when it's just so hard to do so. I love that you valued your own soul in order to separate and heal. So sorry your father was too dangerous.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Wholesale Twins Jerseys . - Finally healthy and given a shot to start, linebacker Josh Mauga suddenly leads the resurgent Kansas City Chiefs in tackles nearing the midway point of the season.Never heard of him? The New York Jets can give you a primer.When they visit Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, they will gaze across the field at the very same linebacker that they decided was washed up. Mauga struggled with so many injuries the past couple seasons that the Jets finally let him go, only for him to find a home in Kansas City.Not only did Mauga earn a job in training camp, he quickly became the starter when Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson tore his Achilles tendon in the season opener.Whirlwind? You bet. But in the best way possible.Absolutely, Mauga said. Trying to fill in for D.J. was kind of tough the first couple weeks, trying to take on that new role, but I take advice from him and Joe Mays and get with Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. They help me with every snap, every play out there.Not that he needs a whole lot of help.Mauga has already proven that he can overcome just about anything set in his path.His history of injuries began in college at Nevada, where he was first sidelined by a knee injury. Later on, Mauga tore a pectoral muscle, playing through the injury most of the season.He went undrafted in 2009 in part because of his injury history, in part because he simply didnt get on the field enough to show scouts what he could do. But the Jets decided to take a chance on him, signing him as a free agent and giving him a shot to earn a job in camp.He was still snake-bit, though. After spending a year on the Jets practice squad, he suffered a concussion in training camp that sidelined him again. He finally made his NFL debut in 2010, and played in 16 games the following year, even making his first career start.Then the injuries hit again: another torn pectoral two years ago, followed by a back injury in training camp last year that required surgery at the end of the season.Any time you have injuries, its frustrating, Mauga said this week, and having back-to-back like I did, I wasnt sure if I would get a chance to play again. But I did and Im here and Im just trying to take advantage of it.The Chiefs are glad he never thought about giving up the game.Mauga already has 47 tackles, more than a dozen more than Ron Parker, who ranks second on the team. His best performance came a few weeks ago, when he had 10 stops in a game at San Francisco.Everybodys got certain roles, Chiefs linebackers coach Gary Gibbs said. They have to understand their responsibilities. Everybody approaches it differently. In Joshs case hes been out for a year or so, coming off an injury, so hes had to knock some rust off.The reality is hell never be confused for tackling machines such as Carolinas Luke Kuechly and Tampa Bays Lavonte David. He surely wont be confused for Johnson, either.But Mauga has proven to be a reliable fill-in, and is a big reason why Kansas City still has the NFLs second-best defence heading into Sundays game against the Jets.I think Josh has done a really good job and, again as weve mentioned, a guy that has been out all last year basically with an injury, said Chiefs defensive co-ordinator Bob Sutton, who was an assistant coach with the Jets when Mauga broke into the league.Hes starting to come along very well, and done a good job and understands the defence and can get everyone lined up. Thats a real bonus for a guy that walks in and has to take over that role. Hes a real smart football player. Cheap Twins Jerseys China . - Olympic champion Marielle Thompson accomplished her mission of defending her skicross World Cup title at Nakiska Ski Area on Saturday. Bert Blyleven Jersey . Zimmermann became the National Leagues first 16-game winner, pitching seven solid innings to lead the Washington Nationals past the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Wednesday night. http://www.cheaptwinsjerseys.com/ . The Italian side scored twice in a four-minute span in the second half to defeat former stars from S. JEREZ, Spain -- Jenson Button steered his repaired McLaren to the fastest lap on Wednesday, and Nico Rosberg helped Mercedes rebound from Lewis Hamiltons crash with the longest run on the second day of Formula One preseason testing. Otherwise, most teams continued to struggle with their new cars following a massive rulebook overhaul that includes a shift to a turbo engine and more sophisticated energy recovery systems. Four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel only managed eight laps around the Jerez track before Red Bulls engine maker, Renault, reported a malfunction and the team decided to call it quits. That gave Vettel a total of 11 laps to start the preseason. "Obviously weve not had a lot of running and have a few problems to sort out, but with such big rule changes it is usual to have some teething problems. Thats what tests are for, to sort those issues out," said Vettel, who now hands the wheel to new teammate Daniel Ricciardo for the remaining two days in southern Spain. An electrical problem had kept Button in the garage on Tuesday, but he was the first out on wet tires in the morning and after the asphalt had dried he set the benchmark lap time with 1 minute, 24.165 seconds. The former world champion is aiming to help McLaren bounce back from its worst season since 1980 after it didnt reach the podium last year. Rosberg led the eight-car field with 97 laps, a day after a front wing problem sent Hamiltons Mercedes flying into the barrier. Rosberg said the new Mercedes F1 W05 has little in common with its predecessor and compared its steering wheel to a "smartphone with all the information on it." After overnight rain, the sessions 9 a.. Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic. m. start was delayed as a tractor worked its way around the track spraying more water on the already damp asphalt so teams could test Pirellis tires for wet surfaces. But by noon the sun had come out and the track was dry as forecasts of showers never materialized, leaving teams to run under normal conditions. All the teams are struggling to get their cars race ready in time for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on March 16. They will have two more tests in Bahrain before heading to Melbourne. So far, they have combined for 424 laps across two days of testing. Last year, with the preseason starting after far fewer tweaks to the rules governing car design, drivers combined for more than 1,500 laps over the first two days here. Ferrari appears to be handling the new regulations the best. Kimi Raikkonen followed up his fastest lap time from Tuesday with the second-fastest lap on Wednesday, 0.647 seconds behind Button. Local favourite Fernando Alonso will drive for Ferrari on Thursday and Friday. McLarens promising recovery from Tuesdays no-show coincided with its hiring of Eric Boullier as its new racing director.

The Guardian profile: Lynton Crosby
He masterminded four consecutive general election victories for John Howard, the 'dull dog' of Australian politics. But can this ruthless campaign strategist work his magic on the Tories and put another Howard in power?
Nicholas Watt
Thu 27 Jan 2005 21.09 EST First published on Thu 27 Jan 2005 21.09 EST
Standing precariously on a rickety chair in a packed and smoky Westminster pub - with a Scotch and soda for refreshment - Lynton Crosby snapped at a youngster in the audience.
"If that's your attitude I suggest you piss off right now," Australia's most successful political strategist barked at a Tory who had the temerity to suggest that Michael Howard was doomed in this year's general election.
Crosby's typically earthy riposte, at a meeting of young Conservatives this month, is being publicised by Howard aides to dismiss a report in the Times this week that their new campaign director has told the Tory leader he is heading for certain defeat. While the suggestion was overblown, it is understood that Crosby has taken a cold look at the party's dismal poll figures and issued a private warning that the leadership should be realistic.
That Crosby feels able to offer such blunt advice shows the strength of his position after he was summoned halfway around the world by Howard in the autumn to revive the Tories' fortunes. "I would go into battle with Lynton any day," says Alan Duncan, the shadow international development secretary. "He is great and has a down-to-earth style which everyone seems to like."
While Crosby, 48, appears to be winning rave reviews from Tory MPs and shadow ministers who were fed up with the confusion under the dual chairmanship of Liam Fox and Maurice Saatchi, questions are being raised about his track record. Few doubt his extraordinary success in shepherding John Howard, the "dull dog" of Australia, to four consecutive general election victories. Howard himself declared: "There's no better political strategist in Australia than Lynton Crosby."
But much of this involved highly controversial tactics, most notably during Australia's 2001 general elections, which will be remembered for an ugly row about a refugee ship, the Tampa. A false allegation that asylum seekers had tried to blackmail their way into the country by throwing children overboard prompted John Howard's notorious slogan in the final days of the campaign: "We decide who will come into this country."
Wind forward four years and another Howard has just issued a call to "limit immigration" with a quota for asylum seekers. The policy was not new but the decision to make such a sensitive subject one of the Tories' defining issues of the campaign was inspired by Crosby.
Such tactics come as little surprise to Paul Reynolds of the University of Queensland, the state where Crosby cut his teeth in Australia's centre-right Liberal party. "It was a squalid lie about the children overboard," Dr Reynolds says. "Lynton Crosby did not initiate the row. But he went along for the ride and milked it. He was compliant."
The Australian Labor party, whose leader, Mark Latham, resigned after another defeat at the hands of the Howard-Crosby partnership, has bitter memories of Crosby's tactics. One Labor candidate received £34,000 in damages in 1995 from Mark Textor, Crosby's business partner, and others after suggestions that she supported abortions at nine months. Textor, who is offering informal advice to the Tories, had deployed "push polling", a US tactic of spreading damaging information about opponents under the guise of questions.
Mike Kaiser, a Labor opponent of Crosby's in Queensland in the early 90s, says: "Lynton Crosby has a track record of pushing the envelope on sensitive issues on law and order and immigration. He was inflammatory in 2001 but he was more in tune with public opinion than we were."
Labour strategists in Britain detect a repetition of these tactics. But Crosby has told a series of senior Tory MPs that he appreciates Australian politics are wholly different. His aim is to instill tight discipline, sharpen the party's national message and focus on the 50 to 80 marginal seats where the Tories have a realistic chance.
"Stand up, take a bow. A round of applause please everyone," were the words, delivered in an unmistakable Australian twang, which told the Tories' young staff in the war room that life would change under their new boss. Within days of taking over Crosby had renamed the party offices "Conservative campaign headquarters" and introduced a daily session where the author of the best press release is invited to take a bow.
Conservative MPs have been introduced to his strict discipline with a "campaign bulletin" which is emailed to them every day. The tightly written four-page missive contains facts and figures under three headlines which never change: why "Mr Blair is all talk", what the Liberal Democrats would do and concluding with "Conservative action".
The bulletin for Wednesday this week, which pointed out that there were "only 99 days to go" until the expected polling day of May 5, focused on tax, immigration and crime. In a sign of how Crosby wants to focus the campaign entirely on Tony Blair the bulletin refers to Charles Clarke as "Mr Blair's home secretary" and makes no mention of Gordon Brown in the tax section.
This tightening of the message has caused serious friction with Maurice Saatchi, the advertising guru, whose reliance on 1980s techniques exasperated the Tory modernisers and finally persuaded Howard last year to turn to Crosby. On his first day the new campaign director changed Saatchi's beloved 10 words, which pledge to deliver more police and cleaner hospitals, into a more easily digestible "five priorities".
One shadow cabinet member said: "Lynton told Michael that you can't attack Blair for being all words and then base your campaign on words."
Attacking the prime minister - and reeling off a series of policy initiatives - is not enough, Crosby is telling staff as he reminds them of the importance of his buzzword: values. "People don't generally vote simply on the basis of issues," he told a conference in Canberra last May. "They vote as much on the values and motivation of political parties in taking a particular position on an issue... It is the values you communicate, and the motivation you have, that influences the way people vote."
The sharpening of the campaign, reminiscent of New Labour in 1997, is impressing Tories who might be tempted to criticise the new regime. Nick Wood, who served as press secretary to both William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith, says: "Lynton Crosby is highly professional and very dedicated. He plays to win. He is undeniably a real asset to the Tory party. He is a fairly typical Australian. He does not pull his punches but he does it with a smile and a sense of humour."
The strength of feeling about Crosby - universal admiration on the right and disquiet on the left - amuses the man whose career began in failure. At his "piss off" speech this month he joked about his hopeless attempt to stand for office in Queensland.
After deciding that electoral office was not for him, Crosby rose to become state secretary of the Liberal party in Queensland, a doomed cause because the country's governing party has never broken through in the northern state.
Mike Kaiser thought Crosby was a disaster. "I was gobsmacked when the Tories hired him. I remember he ran a very clumsy campaign in 1992 when he ran a TV ad claiming that the state's premier had blood on his hands after a prisoner on parole murdered a young girl. It was completely over the top and backfired."
Undeterred, Crosby moved to national politics, where he notched up the first of his four national election victories in 1996 as the Liberals' deputy campaign director. The case seemed hopeless: the Liberals had a deeply dull leader and the Labor prime minister, Paul Keating, seemed invincible. But Howard pulled through, thanks in large part to Crosby.
Australia's political world is left wondering why Crosby is willing to risk his election-winning record. "I suspect he was made an offer and thought what the hell," Dr Reynolds says. "But I am not sure it will do him much good to go down in a screaming heap with all those Tories."

What is point slope form of an equation of a line?
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)
Asked in Math and Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry
what is the m stand for in the point slope from the area of an equation?
m stands for modulus, and is a measure of the slope.
Asked in Algebra, Geometry
How do you identify a slope given in a linear equation?
To identify the slope in a linear equation, rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b. The term m is the slope.
Asked in Science, Math and Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry
What part of the general slope intercept equation represents the slope?
The general form of the slope-intercept equation is y = mx + b. In that equation, the slope is m and the y intercept is b.
Asked in Shopping, Algebra
How do you find a slope to a equation?
the slope formula is y=mx+b slope-intercept form of an equation of a line. where m=slope and b=the y-intercept
What is the slope of the line with equation Y equals 4X-12?
This equation is in a form called the slope-intercept form. The general formula for this form is: y = m*x + b The slope of this line is "m" The y-axis intercept is "b" Because you want to find the slope of the line, you just need to locate where "m" is in your equation. If you compare your equation with the general formula, you will see that m = 4 in your equation, so the slope of the line is 4.
Asked in Algebra
What letter represents slope on slope-intercept equation?
The equation of line in terms of y , x coordinates and intercept can be written as : y= m x+ c where m is the slope of the equation and the c is value of intercept.
Asked in Geometry, Abstract Algebra
What is the equation of a line passing through -3 7 and having a slope of?
If the slope is m, then the equation is y - 7 = m*(x + 3)
What is the equation of a line passing through (-6 5) and having a slope of?
The straight line equation would depend on the slope which has not been given.
What is the slope of a line given by the following equation y3x 1?
Assuming that you meant that the equation is y=3x+1, the slope is 3. This is because the equation of any line in the form of y=mx+b has a slope of "m". Therefore, the value of m in this equation is 3.
What is an example of a slope intercept equation that has a negative slope and a positive intercept?
y=mx+b is the slope intercept equation m=slope b= y-intercept y=-7x + 2 m= -7 b= +2
What is the slope of y equals 3x-7?
When ever an equation like this is in the format y=mx+b, your slope is m. So in this equation m=3.
What is Slope Equation?
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
What is the slope of the line for the equation y equals 3?
The slope equation is y = mx + b where m is slope for y = 3 we have y = 0 (x) +3 so m = 0 = slope So slope is zero line is constant y = 3
What part of the general slope-intercept equation represents the slope?
The slope-intercept form of an equation is: y = mx + b In this case, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.
What is an equation for slope of -2 and y intercept of 3?
A straight line in slope-intercept format has the equation: y = mx + b Where m is the slope, b the y-intercept. So, all you have to do is copy this equation, then replace "m" by the given slope, and "b" by the given y-intercept.
How do you get a slope intercept slope?
Slope intercept is an equation of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Writing an equation given a slope and a point?
If the slope m is given at a point (xo, yo) of a line, then the equation of the line is given by: y - yo = m(x - xo)
What is the part of the slope intercept form that represents the rate of change?
y=mx +b is the equation for slope intercept form. y = the output of the equation m = the slope x = the input into the formula b = the y-intercept The slope represents the rate of change. This is because for every input, or x, you put into the equation, is changed by m. So the M portion of this equation would be the rate of change.
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
What is the slope of the line given by the equation below?
There is no equation there but the slope of the line is the number that multiplies x in the straight line equation y = mx + b whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Why is the letter 'm' used to represent slope in the equation of a line?
Answer: "M" stood for the Modulus of slope. Origin: It is from the french word Monter
What is the point-slope form of a line with slope that contains the point (-1 2)?
Another point is needed to work out the slope and its straight line equation. Slope is worked out as: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) ----------------------- With slope m and going through a point (x0, y0), a line has equation: y - y0 = m(x - x0) Thus the point-slope equation of a line with slope m through the point (-1, 2) is given by: y - 2 = m(x - -1) → y - 2 = m(x + 1)
What is the slope in algebra?
Slope is the amount that y increases/decreases by when x increases by one. If you have an slope-intercept equation of y=mx=b, your slope is m. For example, in the equation, y=3x+14, your slope is 3.
Asked in Math and Arithmetic, Algebra, Linear Algebra
What is an example of a linear equation?
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b where m = slope and b = the y-intercept.

Dodgers: Justin Turner and Dave Roberts React to Losing Dustin May for the Year
Writer Archive05/04/2021
The Dodgers are going to have to adjust to life without Dustin May. The fifth starter in the rotation was pitching like an ace, and it felt like he was getting better with his appearance. Understandably, news of his loss for the season hit the clubhouse hard.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts talked about the loss before the rain postponement on Monday. For Doc, the team has to find a way to move forward in his absence. May will be back next year, but the focus right now is on getting him healthy and winning ballgames.
You never want to lose anyone for the season. Certainly a player like Dustin who was taking the ball every fifth day and logging valuable innings. And so, I feel for him most importantly. But for our ball club, it's a big blow.
Justin Turner has been around long enough to know what losing a guy like May can do to a clubhouse. The Dodgers veteran talked about how important D-May was for the present but also for the future success of the team in 2021.
Obviously, he was a big part of our rotation and he was getting better every time he took the mound. That's a significant loss. That's a significant arm that we relied on and were planning on relying on. I just feel terrible for Dustin.
Dodgers Related: James Pazos Added to the Active Roster
It's going to be tough for the Dodgers to just move on after losing a guy like Dustin. He's still obviously part of the team, but losing someone with his talent isn't something any team is equipped for. If they can get some of their guys back healthy, they should be able to survive this.

Home Food A Practical Guide to Swallows, the Heart of Many Cuisines
A Practical Guide to Swallows, the Heart of Many Cuisines
There is an art to eating swallows: the proper thumb-and-finger pinch to pull off a bite, the almost imperceptible roll of the dough from the palm to the tips of the fingers as it's lowered into soup to scoop a mouthful. But I am perennially out of practice.
I am highly self-conscious about my swallow-rolling technique, one that I've barely improved since my childhood in Lagos. While savoring them effortlessly requires years of practice, shoddy technique does not lessen my appreciation for swallows' subtle, earthy sweetness.
In the same way a spoon carries distinct flavors from the edge of a bowl into its center, or a crust of bread absorbs the essence of the broth in its path, swallows are a means of pulling the best of a dish into each bite.
Swallows, as they're called in English, are a broad category of cooked starchy vegetables and grains that are pounded or kneaded until soft and elastic. In regional African and Afro-Caribbean cuisines, they go by a variety of names and are prepared using a range of ingredients; there's northern Nigerian tuwo shinkafa made with rice, East African ugali made from corn, southwest Haitian tonmtonm made from breadfruit.
But perhaps the term most often heard in America is fufu. All swallows are not fufu, and fufu itself ranges in preparation. In Nigeria, fufu is made from crushed and fermented cassava, sold at markets as a paste to dissolve in hot water. Ghanaians may refer to a combination of pounded cassava and additional starches, such as green plantains, as fufu. In the diaspora, fufu is most commonly made not by pounding but by cooking finely milled flours of starchy roots or tubers in hot water on the stovetop. Like most staples, adaptations exist for convenience.
What all swallows share is that they should be served hot, portioned right into a bowl primed for vegetable soup and stewed meat, or plastic-wrapped and kept warm for when the meal begins. An accompanying washbowl for rinsing off fingers before and after the meal should always be within reach.
Despite the subtle differences among swallows in West Africa and beyond, eating this dish leads the way to the very heart of a culinary experience. Swallows alone are not the means to understanding global cuisine, but they begin a conversation, a way to peel back the layers like an endless onion.

Il forno anagama () è un antico tipo di forno per la ceramica introdotto in Giappone dalla Cina attraverso la Corea nel V secolo. È una versione del forno drago ascendente utilizzato nel sud della Cina, del quale fu copiato anche l'ulteriore sviluppo, per esempio nella suddivisione dello spazio di combustione in una serie di camere nel forno noborigama.

Un anagama (un termine giapponese che significa "forno a galleria") consiste di una camera di combustione con un focolare a un'estremità e una canna fumaria all'altra. Sebbene si usi il termine "focolare" per descrivere lo spazio destinato al fuoco, non c'è nessuna struttura fisica che separi lo spazio dell'alimentazione da quello destinato alla ceramica. Il termine anagama descrive forni a camera singola costruiti a forma di galleria in pendenza. In realtà, i forni antichi erano a volte costruiti scavando gallerie in ammassi di argilla.

L'anagama è alimentato a legna, al contrario dei forni elettrici o alimentati a gas usati comunemente dalla maggioranza dei ceramisti contemporanei. Per la cottura è necessario   un rifornimento continuo di combustibile, in quanto la legna gettata nel forno ardente si consuma molto rapidamente. L'alimentazione avviene giorno e notte finché non sono soddisfatte una serie di variabili tra cui il modo in cui appaiono i recipienti cotti dentro il forno, le temperature raggiunte e sostenute, la quantità di cenere applicata, l'umidità delle pareti e dei recipienti, ecc.

Bruciare la legna non solo produce calore fino a 1.400 °C (2.500 °F), ma anche cenere volante e sali volatili. La cenere della legna si deposita sui pezzi durante la cottura, e la complessa interazione tra la fiamma, la cenere e i minerali del corpo di argilla forma una vetrina di cenere naturale. Questa vetrina può mostrare grande varietà di colore, tessitura e spessore, andando da liscia e lucida a ruvida e tagliente. La collocazione dei pezzi all'interno del forno influenza distintamente l'aspetto della ceramica, in quanto i pezzi più vicini al focolare possono ricevere pesanti strati di cenere o essere perfino immersi nelle braci, mentre altri più in profondità nel forno possono essere toccati solo lievemente dagli effetti della cenere. Altri fattori che dipendono dalla localizzazione includono la temperatura e l'ossidoriduzione. Oltre alla localizzazione nel forno (come con altri forni a tiraggio ascendente alimentati a combustibile) il modo in cui i pezzi sono posti l'uno vicino all'altro influenza il percorso della fiamma e, quindi, anche l'aspetto dei pezzi all'interno di zone localizzate del forno può variare. Si dice che caricare un forno anagama sia la parte più difficile della cottura. Il ceramista deve immaginare il percorso della fiamma mentre attraversa velocemente il forno e usare questa direzione per "dipingere" i pezzi con il fuoco.

Scrive al riguardo il ceramista tedesco Jan Kollwitz: «I colori sulle ceramiche si formano dalla cottura. Non si applica nessuna vetrina, bensì i pezzi vengono esposti alle fiamme, al fumo, al carbone ardente e alla cenere volante. Così si formano colorazioni rosse e grigie, in parte pervinca. La cenere della legna che arde turbina attraverso il forno e si posa come polvere sottile sulle ceramiche, che a temperature al di sopra di 1.250 °C si fonde con la superficie di argilla in uno smalto vitreo. Questa vetrina di cenere volante che si forma naturalmente varia a seconda della posizione del recipiente nel forno da un velo opaco color ocra a una pasta vitrea verde cupo».

I tempi di cottura dipendono dal volume del forno e possono impiegare da 48 ore a 12 o più giorni. Il forno generalmente impiega la stessa quantità di tempo per raffreddarsi. Le registrazioni delle cotture storiche fatte in grandi forni asiatici condivisi da vari ceramisti dello stesso villaggio, descrivono parecchie settimane di alimentazione costante per la cottura.

Varianti del forno
Una variante dello stile anagama è il forno waritake.  Un forno waritake è simile all'anagama nella struttura, ma ha pareti divisorie costruite a intervalli di parecchi metri per tutta la sua lunghezza. Ogni scomparto può essere alimentato lateralmente.

Il forno ascendente a camera noborigama () è costruito anch'esso su una pendenza, e ciascuna camera successiva è situata più in alto di quella precedente. Le camere in un noborigama sono perforate a intervalli con portelli di alimentazione. Tali forni ascendenti si usano in Giappone fin dal XVII secolo. Il più grande forno noborigama funzionante in Giappone è localizzato a Shigaraki, nella porzione meridionale della prefettura di Shiga.

Il renboshiki noborigama è un forno ascendente multi-camera. Ci sono molte caratteristiche distintive tra lo stile noborigama e quello anagama. Ad esempio, un anagama è piuttosto simile a un semitubo (volta lunga) con un fuoco acceso all'estremità inferiore. Un noborigama è simile a un insieme di semitubi (archi o volte brevi che si sostengono tra loro con contrafforti) posti fianco a fianco con perforazioni che consentono a ciascuna camera di inserirsi in quella successiva.

Il jagama (forno serpente o forno drago) è affine ai forni anagama, noborigama e waritake ed era usato estesamente in Cina almeno dal III secolo d.C. I jagama hanno una forma a tubo simile ai forni anagama, ma possono essere più lunghi intorno a 60 m. Sebbene divisi in scomparti e alimentati lateralmente, i jagama non hanno pareti divisorie, ma piuttosto si creano pareti improvvisate accatastando fittamente le ceramiche a intervalli.

Caratteristiche
Il principale vantaggio è che il calore della combustione viene riutilizzato, lo stesso calore che riscalda più di una parte del forno. Il calore creato durante la cottura nella parte inferiore del forno preriscalda le camere superiori. Inoltre, il materiale che si raffredda e le pareti inferiori preriscaldano l'aria in ingresso. Pertanto, la cottura degli oggetti nelle camere superiori richiede solo una piccola quantità di combustibile in più (dal punto di vista termodinamico, la temperatura più elevata della combustione e lo scarico più freddo determinano una maggiore efficienza). Un tipo di forno moderno, chiamato "forno a tubo", migliora ancora di più l'efficienza e la produzione facendo spostare il materiale in direzione opposta a quella dei gas roventi.

Tutti questi forni utilizzano due meccanismi di scambio in controcorrente per mantenere l'alimentazione d'aria e per cambiare il materiale che viene inserito, il tutto con una minima perdita di calore.

Un vantaggio delle varianti a camera e a semicamera, sembra essere, in parte, il tiraggio discendente, che rende i risultati di cottura meno sensibili al modo in cui viene caricato il materiale.

Uno svantaggio di questi piccoli forni è la tendenza al raffreddamento rapido, causato dall'aria in ingresso.

Mariah Carey faces £16 million lawsuit over All I Want For Christmas Is You
By Joye Yung On Jun 5, 2022
Lost dog 'hands herself in' to police station after getting spooked by…
Mariah Carey is being sued for 20 million dollars (£16 million) for copyright infringement over her hit song All I Want For Christmas Is You.
he singer and her co-writer Walter Afanasieff are both named in the lawsuit, which is being brought by songwriter Andy Stone.
Carey and Afanasieff's song was released by the US star in 1994 as part of her album Merry Christmas and has gone on to be recognised as one of the most well-known festive hits.
In legal documents filed at the US District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana, Mr Stone claims that he co-wrote a song with the same name in 1989 and has never given permission for it to be used.
The singer and her co-writer Walter Afanasieff are both named in the legal action (Ian West/PA)
Stone, whose band Vince Vance & The Valiants recorded and released their track in 1989, has accused Carey and Afanasieff of acting in a way that was "designed to exploit the popularity and unique style" of Stone's song, adding that it "caused confusion", according to the court documents.
The two songs have different lyrics and melodies.
The documents, obtained by the PA news agency, state that Carey and her collaborators "knowingly, wilfully, and intentionally engaged in a campaign" to infringe Stone's copyright for the song.
They added the defendants had also committed "acts of unjust enrichment by the unauthorised appropriation of plaintiff's work and the goodwill associated therewith".
Stone is seeking damages of 20 million dollars (£16 million).
Merry Christmas was released by Columbia Records on November 1 1994 and became the best-selling US Christmas album of all time, selling more than 15 million copies worldwide.

It's this time of year again, when most people in the Western world are out shopping for holiday gifts in crowded malls. This period of over-consumerism always makes me think of the #1 reason why people say they don't travel (or don't travel more): cost.
"Travel is expensive," they say, sitting on their leather couch and switching on their wide screen HD television.
Now if you don't like to travel, you should totally be spending your money on whatever it is you enjoy. But if you're a middle-class traveller who finds him/herself constantly short of travel money, perhaps you need to re-examine your priorities.
More stuff or more travel?
Travel doesn't have to be all that expensive. It is possible to travel well on a budget of say $1000 a week (including airfare) to a wide range of destinations. Do you prefer spending $2000 on a new 40" HDTV, or a 2-week trip to Europe (or Asia or wherever)? Unless you have large amounts of spare cash, these are the kinds of decisions you may have to make, also called "prioritizing".
Since I'm a big travel nut, my goals are clear. I always chose travel (and experiences) over stuff. And I know I'm not alone in doing this. It's not to say that I don't like stuff, especially beautiful pricey items like art and electronics. Many times I have admired a painting and imagined it hanging on my wall, then looked at the price tag (gulp!) and turned away thinking: "Ha! For that money, I can spend a month in country X".
And so for 17 years, that white wall over my couch has remained empty. But over that period, I've also spent a total of several years roaming the globe and visited three dozen countries.
As you can see, my furniture is old and pretty minimal. It's probably easier to tell you what I don't have than what I have: no TV (or cable service), no stereo, no car, no fancy clothes (well, maybe a couple of pieces for interviews and funerals) and no iPhone. Of course, the fact that I hate shopping helps a lot.
My most expensive possessions are a MacBook Air (bought last year after hanging on to a heavy MacBook Pro laptop for 8 years) and a 6-year old Canon Rebel 3Ti DSLR camera. Sure, I would love to have a drone and GoPro, and perhaps one of those 360 cameras, but… I'd still rather spend that money on travel.
Which brings us back to the holidays and the mad rush around shopping malls spending hundreds of dollars (thousands?) on gifts.
At the risk of putting off some people, I'll admit that I haven't done this for years, probably over a decade. If I want to show appreciation for friends and family, I invite them for dinner once in a while. It doesn't have to be during the holidays. Or I give them free travel advice. I make greeting cards from my own photos, and I send people a personal note and a special picture by email when I'm on the road.
However, I don't really see the point of exchanging expensive gifts, or even gift cards. Yes, it's a "tradition", a tradition that plumps up the travel budget of store owners. Yours, not so much.
Besides the issue of costs, it just seems to me that people get so exhausted and frantic with all this holiday shopping and finding the "perfect" gift, as if friendship and family relationships depended on the stuff you give people. Just be there to give them a hug and listen when they need to talk.
What do you want most for 2018?
If your resolutions for 2018 include travelling more, you may want to think of ways to cut into the amount of stuff you're buying, starting with the holiday shopping. Perhaps you and your loved ones can agree not to exchange gifts this year, or limit the value of the presents to a certain amount. I think for most people, the fun is in unwrapping the gifts and being surprised, more than the value of the goods they receive. Some of my favourite gifts are actually books and homemade sweets!
And if being healthier is one of your goals this year, there is scientific evidence that travelling has many health benefits. Think weight loss, stronger bones, and sharper mind among others.
I suspect some of you may still be questioning my earlier assertion, that you can travel on an average of $1000 a week, including flights. Well, that's what I've been doing since 1992 about 90% of the time, and since this blog is about affordable solo travel, I have an entire section about saving money that you may want to peruse.
If you have specific questions about affordable travel that are not answered in there, leave them in the comments and I will use those as the basis for more money saving posts.
Is it still worth buying guidebooks? 7 problematic travel situations and what you can do Big Travel Nut's Life and Travel Manifesto Is there a right way to travel?
Stop buying stuff and travel more.
I know, I know, did I mention that I know?
It is so hard to do, but yes, I would rather do the more travel bit.
Thanks for the great guidance and tips.

Threat of Starvation Looms in Benghazi as Fighting Intensifies
Headlines, Libya
Hundreds of civilians currently trapped by fighting in Benghazi are facing the threat of starvation, Amnesty International warned.
The stranded civilians could die from lack of food and water as fighting between rival Libyan factions intensifies in Benghazi compelling besieged civilians to survive on rotten food and dirty water, the international right-watchdog said.
Amnesty International deplored that all roads are blocked by the fighting or by the Libyan National Army led by Khalifa Haftar leaving the besieged population without food, water and electricity.
The Organization said that 130 Libyan families and hundreds of foreign nationals have been trapped for months in the residential district of Gandoufa, in southwestern Benghazi, where tribal leaders fighting Islamist groups have ruled no children over the age of 14 should be allowed to leave that area alive – for fear they could be jihadists.
Several international groups have been appealing for the creation of safe corridors to evacuate civilians trapped in Ganfouda.
A military offensive named Operation Dignity was launched in mid-2014 by General Khalifa Haftar against Islamist militias and armed groups in Benghazi, which later formed a coalition known as the Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries.
Two years on, the Libyan National Army under General Haftar's command is carrying out repeated air strikes on areas under Shura Council control in Benghazi.

How the Sahel has slipped into a new post-Jihadist era
By Bakary Sambe

Military solutions have clearly not been successful in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel.
The lessons of America's war in Afghanistan should have forced the international community to face facts: Kalashnikovs alone cannot defeat ideology nor solve the structural problems feeding the radicalisation of the young people who continue to join Boko Haram and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara.
An example is the French Serval operation.
This freed the northern cities in Mali from the hands of Jihadists in a spectacular operation, and ensured that Konna did not fall. Konna was a bulwark barring access to Bamako from determined assailants in January 2013.
But the current operation Barkhane is unable to banish terrorists from northern Mali, or from the outskirts of Niger, where the dangers of the Libyan conflict and Sahelo-Saharan instability converge.
Terrorist groups are prospering in the Sahel. And they are able to coordinate relatively substantial operations. Meanwhile, there is a myriad of international stakeholders, even within the European "family", now seeking to play a major role. This even includes Germany which is no longer willing to take a back seat in affairs concerning the Sahel and West Africa.
Terrorism extends its tentacles
The terrorist front has expanded beyond its Malian epicentre to the region. The centre of Mali has become a zone of major tensions that have spilled out as far as the provinces of Sum and Udalan, in neighbouring Burkina Faso.
Under these conditions, many analysts are losing their bearings. They have only recently realised that the attacks in Ouagadougou, in August 2017 and March 2018, marked the end of West African exceptionalism. It has also become clear that the Grand-Bassam attack (Côte d'Ivoire) of March 2016 ushered in a new era, where predicting attacks has become meaningless.
We can no longer deny that military solutions are a necessary evil to stem growing threats and provide relief to countries under high security pressure. But past experience, and the day-to-day realities of populations in border areas, show that they are ultimately neither truly effective nor lasting.
On top of this, they inspire and feed into terrorist propaganda. Terrorist groups are masters at using symbols to send their messages people thrown into disarray by draconian security measures that kill local economies. Local people are also affected by the persistence of daily insecurity despite impressive military arsenals.
Unfortunately, Abul Walid Al-Sahraoui, the current mastermind of Islamic State in the Greater Sahara, chose the "right" approach following the end of the French Serval operation. He eschewed overarching strategies requiring complex organisation and logistics. Instead, he created increasing numbers of unstable zones, and capitalised on ethnic and community conflicts with a "simple", "Islamic" veneer.
In his mind, this is a surefire way to provoke Western intervention, one of the best weapons in the armoury of a Jihadist propaganda. This cleverly plays on Western failures and eventual transgressions to feed the fires of frustration needed to recruit new fighters.
A new dilemma in the Sahel
The the G5 Sahel joint task force could have provided an alternative to a region dotted with bivouacs in French colours, or army bases topped with discreet American flags. But a lack of resources prevented it from becoming operational. This is despite numerous financial commitments that have yet to be honoured.
The security situation in the Sahel requires a paradigm shift from a strictly military solution. In addition, Germany appears to be engineering its arrival on the scene. It is doing this through the delicate balancing act of economic development.
On top of the worsening crisis in the Sahel, there are now widely diverging viewpoints regarding the conflict itself, with a rift between international approaches and local perceptions.
It is time to take internal responses and strategies seriously. And to change direction given the obvious failure of a military solution.
The terrorist strategy
Meanwhile, terrorist groups are redefining their strategy, feeding off and aggravating inter-community conflicts. This gives them two advantages. Firstly, it increases the number of unstable areas in the region. Secondly, it puts pressure on the international community, forcing it to resort to military intervention – a source of radicalisation and fodder for jihadist rhetoric.
Unfortunately, attacks like those at the start of the year in the village of Yirgou Fulbé, in Barsalogho, in central northern Burkina Faso will spread. Central Mali will once again become the focus of concerns, and neighbouring countries will certainly be impacted.
Burkina Faso has entered a cycle of violence sparked by inter-community conflicts which, initially, had nothing to do with religion but rather concerns over forest, crop-growing and grazing land.
Thanks to uncoordinated international strategies, terrorist groups are broadening their scope of action in the region. The unprecedented offensive in Burkina Faso is designed to breakdown the last barrier between the Sahel and the coast.
Today, conditions are ripe for the establishment of Islamic State in the Greater Sahara. This is especially true in Burkina Faso, a buffer region between coastal Africa and the Sahel, and, in particular, in areas like Gorom Gorom and Markoye, in Udalan province.
A new template is needed
The most surprising fact about the situation in the Sahel is that Western analysts remain stuck in the Jihadist paradigm. Their vocabulary is still dotted with terms like "Islamic groups," "Jihadist cells," and "radicalization" when the threat has long become hybridised, with a significant rise in inter-community conflict. Even in terrorist narratives, the religious rhetoric is increasingly giving way to the exacerbation of community tensions.
Gone is the era of ideological, religious-based discourse Jihadism. Nowadays, local communities only see "crime" and "banditry".
It is clear to local populations, if not to "experts" and scholars of the region, that the Sahel has surreptitiously slipped into a new era, which for lack of any other name, hints at a post-jihadist world.

Bree is a youth educational movement organised by Culture Vannin on the Isle of Man that gives children between the ages 10 and 18 the opportunity to learn traditional Manx music, dance, and culture. Bree is a Manx word that means 'vitality or 'energy'. The movement organises the annual workshop weekend every autumn and also runs monthly sessions through the year.

History
Although the Isle of Man has a long history of Gaelic music, much of it was only recorded in the 19th century when the Island became a destination for mass tourism and knowledge of traditional music began to diminish. After a long period of decline, punctuated by the work of collectors such as Dr John Clague and Mona Douglas, Manx traditional music saw a resurgence in the 1960s and Manx music and dance is taught in all the schools on the Island. Popular interest has developed into groups like Bree and music festivals such as Shennaghys Jiu and Cooish.

Founded in 2006 by Culture Vannin, the movement's objective is to introduce and develop Manx culture for the Island's young musicians and dancers and to ensure that it remains part of a living tradition. Bree was modelled on the Scottish Feis movement which aims to develop skills in the Gaelic arts for young people.

Workshop weekend
Every October, Bree organises a weekend workshop where young people can opt to take workshops in playing or singing, drama, composing and song-writing in English or Manx. They are guided by experienced local Manx musicians in learning new skills. At the end of the weekend, there is a final concert for parents on the Sunday afternoon where all the students participate.

Other work
Monthly music sessions for young people are organised by Bree in Douglas and St John's. This is an informal session that allows young people to improve their skills and become comfortable with musical performance. Bree also competes in the annual Manx Folk Awards, and performs at community and charitable events throughout the Island.

Scran is a Manx traditional music group that has grown out of Bree. It consists of young people from the ages 13 to 18 and performs in both English and Manx. Manx harpist Mera Royle who won the BBC Radio 2's Young Folk Award in 2018 is a former member of Bree and member of Scran.

Bree released Bree Session Tunes which is a collection of over 80 Manx tunes with chords and counter-melodies. It is primarily based on Bree session tunes that were arranged for young people. It aims to give young people the resources to practice and learn sessions tunes by themselves or with friends.
