Yes...that's right. It has been confirmed. The office I work at has been flooded. If you look at the picture above from the Brewton Standard website, you will see a orange colored building. That would be where I work.
Why does this always happen to us? I guess my last few days working there will be in the midst of fans and other equipment to dry the place out. Gosh, this is not how I wanted to spend my last few days.
Oh Brenna,that is terrible! Judd always says that downtown floods easily. I guess he was right. Did it reach the people at the Hourglass? I would worry living in the flood zone. Let me know if I can do anything.

Back to School and Getting Organised in January!
New year, new beginnings and a chance to get back on track with everything after the mayhem of December and the run up to Christmas. I am glad to be getting back into a routine and the normality of life - with 4 kids, a puppy and a business to organise, nothing goes right if it's not planned, and when one of the kids has Aspergers as well, it's even more important for the routine to be as easy and manageable as possible.
One way I try to do this is to keep clothing management really simple. We use what I call the 4 drawer technique. Each child has literally a large 4 drawer unit for all their clothing. No wardrobes. No shelves. This is really helpful for younger children or those with additional needs as getting their own clothes out on a morning becomes so much simpler. No rooting through piles of laundry or struggling to find socks on a morning before school. Everything is in 1 easily accessible place. You can even label the drawers with pictures or words to help until they get the hang of where the various items are, or do a social story of getting dressed (very helpful for some children with autism as they learn what they need to do first and then need to do next).
We have a whole drawer dedicated just to school uniform. We have 5 sets (there's no chance boy-child will ever stay clean all day at school so 5 sets means there is always 1 set still clean if for any reason the laundry doesn't get done until the weekend) and I fold each set of 1 trousers, 1 shirt and 1 jumper together for each school day so my son can just pull out a whole set at once. Easy!
For weekends and holidays, he has a little bit more time but its still pretty easy for him as he knows the routine now of 1 item from the trousers drawer and 1 from the tops drawer when it's not a school day.
It also becomes a much easier task for the child to put their own clean clothes away! BONUS - 1 less job for mum!! And the child has a sense of achievement from becoming a little more independent.
After each large school break - Christmas, Easter and Summer - I go through all the drawers and get rid of anything too small, trashed or tired looking and odd socks etc and replace with new if needed. I find if there are too many clothing options, it is more stressful for everyone, so I simplify as much as possible to keep choices easy. If you don't NEED to buy anything else then don't, work with what is there instead!
If you DO need to replace underwear, school uniform or anything else (!) have a quick look on my shop super-cool-gifts website for really low cost options, such as school trousers for all ages for just £4. We try and keep the prices at super-cool-gifts as low as possible to help every family out a little bit more!

Q: How to branch properly for multiple releases with TFS I guess this has been asked multiple times already but couldn't find a quick and complete answer.
Let's say I start from scratch and would like to set up TFS project to work with 2 parallel releases which could evolve differently but still I want to be able to push a bugfix in both, let's call them REL. A and REL. B, both will have code changes not shared among them but could be that a bugfix from REL. A should be pushed into REL. B.
starting from the beginning, do I create the main or the dev first and which one is a branch of the other?
REL. A is a branch of Dev or Main?
REL. B is a branch of REL. A or a branch of Main or Dev?
Thanks.

A: Ok.  Based on that, here's my high-level recommendation.
Since these are different products, you can go with a branch-on-product approach.  In this approach, you would have:

MAIN - The baseline code.
  BugFix -Branched from main.  (This is where any shared bug fixes would occur)
  Product A - Branched from main.
  Product B - Branched from main.

I would then recommend a "Dev" branch branched off of each of the Bugfix, Product A, and Product B branches (just for good SCM practices)
The majority of your work would be done in your product branches.  If a bug needed to be fixed, the ideal thing to do would be to code and test it in your BugFix branch.  Once it has been certified to work with the "root" code, you would merge that fix to MAIN, then forward merge it to Product A and Product B.
In a less ideal situation, if the bug was fixed in Product A and needed to be reflected in Product B, you could cherry-pick merge just that code from Product A to MAIN, then from MAIN to Product B and BugFix.  Keep in mind that this is a dangerous approach, in that you may inadvertently merge features from Product A to Product B.

A: Microsoft has Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Branching and Merging Guide , that can be used to choose the branching structure.

Bananas : ZOMG GIVE ME MORE!
Avocados : What is this crap?
Rice Cereal : Keep it comin', ma.
Oatmeal : I see what you did there and I appreciate your efforts.
This week we tackled food that required more preparation: sweet potatoes and pears. Firstly, I washed and peeled the potato and Jonathan sliced it into two inch slices for the Baby Bullet Steamer.
One sweet potato yields 10 servings (which is really 8 Joanna sized servings). We put 6 servings into the fridge containers and filled 2 compartments of the freezer tray. We then steamed and blended a pear for the remaining 4 compartments of the freezer tray. (We can use the steamer to defrost the frozen food cubes.) Refrigerated food stays good for 3 days and frozen food for 30 days. We will definitely go through all of the food faster than 30 days.
She didn't seem to like it as much as we thought she would, but she also didn't seem to dislike it. I think she was just excited to eat.
When we finished feeding her, she acted like she wanted more but seemed content when we did our "all done" announcement and hand signal. She even unintentionally wiped her own mouth. How considerate!
The verdict on sweet potatoes? Somewhere between bananas and avocados.
Today we created 12 meals for less than $1. I filled the containers with more food than before since Joanna can easily eat more than the average 4.5 month old. My new calculation is 3 containers = 1 jar of food, so our 12 meals = 4 jars of baby food = $2 saved. Last week I made 8 servings of bananas and 4 of avocados. Joanna only had 2 of the avocado servings, so I'll just consider it 10 total servings of baby food. 10 meals = 3.5[ish] jars of baby food = $1.75 saved.
By the way, do NOT put your Baby Bullet plastic parts into a dish washer or steamer. They will shrink. I was being a good mom and put the blade and their compartments into the steamer to make sure they were very clean. Now they are clean and too small to use. Awesome. We will soon be spending $40 on a Magic Bullet so we can make our own smoothies, etc as well as blend baby's food. Good thing we can use our Discover Card cash back rewards on Amazon so it won't cost us any money!


On 15 February 2019, the Department issued an Official Caution to Norske Skog Paper Mills (Australia) Limited (Norske Skog) for failing to submit a report of the Safety Management System for the years: 2010, 2013 and 2016. The report was required to be submitted to the Planning Secretary for approval as required by the conditions of consent. The breach was identified following receipt of the Safety Management System Report in December 2018. The Department found the report to be inadequate and consequently requested it to be revised and resubmitted. The report has since been submitted and is currently under review.

Handing teenage striker Dan Agyei a Premier League debut at Anfield on Sunday was "no gimmick" according to Sean Dyche.
Agyei, 19, came off the bench for a brief first taste of first team action, replacing Scott Arfield in the 89th minute, in the 2-1 loss to Liverpool.
The six-foot frontman had been an unused substitute in the previous three games – the FA Cup exit to Lincoln City and Premier League trips to Hull City and Swansea City, and Dyche feels Agyei deserved his debut at one of the great stadiums of English football.
He said: "I was wanting to get him on.
"We would have maybe got him on for a few minutes more, not for any gimmick, but because he deserves the right.
"He has been training with the group and training really hard and showing us signs and glimpses of what he's about.
Agyei, signed from AFC Wimbledon for £100,000 in the summer of 2015, amid stern competition from Chelsea and Fulham, spent the first half of the season on loan at Coventry City, following a brief trial at Morecambe, and netted five goals in 19 appearances for the Sky Blues.
Since returning to Turf Moor, with Dyche aware he could not play for the first team at Burnley and then go out on loan again ahead of the transfer window closing at the end of January, Agyei has worked his way into the picture.
Patrick Bamford's return to Chelsea and subsequent sale to Middlesbrough created an opening for a fourth striker to back up Andre Gray, Ashley Barnes and Sam Vokes, and Agyei said: "It was a great experience for me to make my debut. It's just disappointing not to get a result.


Representing the unrelenting energy of their fanbase, Club Atlético Boca Juniors' 2018 away kit is a celebration of the Xeneizes supporters that light up La Bombonera. Coming in September.
Those who have experienced a Boca Juniors match in La Bombonera know the intensity of their supporters. The 2018 away shirt pays tribute to the Xeneizes with the iconic blue and gold chest stripe stylized as a seismograph, symbolizing the vibrations felt from the highest seats down to the pitch.
Boca Juniors were founded in 1905 by a group of Italians from Genoa, giving the team and its fans their nickname—Xeneizes ("Genoese"). The team was rose to the Primera División in 1913. In 1925, the club had its first chance to prove its talents overseas, travelling to Spain, Germany and France. They seized the opportunity, winning 15 out of 19 matches. The club went on to take 32 division championships, 12 domestic cups and holds the 4th most internationally recognised titles in the world with 22. The club's fans are known as Los Xeneizes ("The Genoese") after the Italian founders of the team.


This tutorial will show you how to remove minor scratches and swirls in the clearcoat paint of your Nissan 350Z. Both hand and machine methods are covered, so do what you feel comfortable with. Using the proper materials and tools, scratch and swirl removing can be very easy and will restore your paint to the fresh off the showroom floor look.
I will focus on modern clearcoat paint, as the majority of cars are now coming supplied with this type of paint, though what is here is applicable to single stage finishes too.
The sharp edges of the swirl mark are catching the sunlight and directing it up to your eye so you see sunlight along the swirl mark, not the paint colour. This is why these bleminshes are particularly prevelant in bright lights - sunlight, halogen lights in petrol stations are kinds of light that really show up the marks!
Poor Wash Technique - washing using a sponge traps grit between the surface of the sponge and the paint, dragging sharp grit across the paint and scratching it. Automated car washes do this on a grand scale by essentially battering grit into the paintwork and should be avoided at all costs.
Using the Wrong Buffing Towels' - using the cheapest cotton stockinette you can find in Halfords will inflict swirls to the paint as the material is hard and unforgiving, itself inflicting scratches without even the need for grit particles!
One method of getting rid of swirl marks is to basically fill up the mark with a filler (a bit like anti-wrinkle cream!!) so that there's no longer a hole and sharp edges to catch the light. This method I prefer for working by hand as it does not require massive effort to break a product down (see machine polishing later), and by hand this method achieves better results.
Paintwork Chemical Cleanser - work this well into the paint with medium pressure and remove from surface immediately - working on small areas at a time (2' by 2' roughly). Repeat application if necessary. Example products to use here are: Meguiars Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner; P21S Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser; Pinnacle Painwork Cleansing Lotion. These cleaners also help remove oxidisation from the paintwork too.
Glaze and Seal - can be done in one step or too, glazes will deepen and wetten the shine and most will further fill and hide the swirl marks. Sealents protect the shine and seal in the fillers, as they can be washed away very easily. For light colours I find Clearkote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze works very well, followed by Poorboys EX-P sealent. Apply the Clearcoat in circular motions first with medium pressure then finish in a fore and aft motion. Work on small areas at a time and remove residue straight away. For the Poorboys EX-P apply to paint and leave for an hour to cure and then remove. For dark colours I prefer the single step of Meguiars NXT Tech Wax which is a glaze/sealent combined - apply to whole car, leave for an hour to cure and then remove. Repeat this step 24hrs later for additional coverage which helps to ensure even coverage.
Optionally, top this off with a pure wax to give the icing on the cake, and you choices of wax are endless but a good starting point for light colours would be Poorboys Nattys, and for darks Poorboys Nattys Blue - apply to one panel and remove immediately as if left too long to dry, it can be a bit of a pest to remove.
This is a more long term solution for dealing with swirl marks and involves removing a thin layer of the clearcoat where the swirl exists down to a flat layer where there are no swirls. This requires a cutting polish and a lot of heat to be generated to achieve this and is therefore best suited to a machine polisher, although results can be achieved to a more limited extent by hand with plenty of patience and the strength and stamina of Arnie!! I will concentrate on working by machine however.
This happens automatically with quality polishes as you work the machine, so you don't need to do anything other than keep working the product until it begins to cure and dry (dusts a little). For deeper swirl marks, highly abbrassive polishes (sometimes called compounds) are required and somtimes the sharp paricles in these leave some light swirls of their own as they abrade the clear coat. Going over the area again with a Finishing Polish will use much smaller abbrassives to flatten the surface, removing the fine swirls left behind to give the sirface a nice flat mirror appearance. For this reason, many detailers will use a high abbrassive polish and finish with a finishing polish - however, read the general rules of thumb for machine polishing for which products to start with!
These are combined with cutting and light cutting and polishing pads on a machine polisher (for example the Porter Cable 7424). More aggressive polishes work best on cutting pads, the less aggessive ones I would use on light cutting pads and finishing polishes I would use on a polishing pad. (Yellow, Orange and White respecitvely in colour if using the Lake Country pads). Also, you can get both 6" and 4" pads - the 4" pads can generate more heat bhen used on a PC7424 and therefore have more cutting power so are good for more severe swirl marks.
To machine polish, the generic method I use is as follows. Spread the polish with the machine off over a small area of the paint (2' by 2'). Turn on the machine at a low speed (speed 3 on PC) and go for one quick pass to spread the polish even more, then turn machine up in speed (speed 5 on PC) and go for a single slow pass with increased pressure on the PC head, then turn machine up in speed again (speed 6 on PC) and go for multiple slow passes with medium pressure over the head of the PC and keep going until the polish starts to dust. Remove the residue with a microfibre towel.
Always work out what the least aggressive pad and polish combination required for the task in hand. To do this, start with a light aggressive polish on a light cutting pad - eg Meguiars #80 on a light cutting pad. Apply this and examine result. If marks not removed, step up to Meguiars #80 on a cutting pad and repeat. Again examine, and if required step up again to #83 on a light cutting pad and so on. Once you've got to the least aggessive combination required, proceed to polish the car and if you've gone for an aggressive combination be sure to follow this up with a finishing polish to restore surface gloss.
Spot repairs - on some cars, there are specific areas of severe swirls while the rest of the paintwork has only light swirls. Only use your aggressive combination on the light swirls and use a 4" pad for spot repairs and then do the rest of the vehicle with your less agressive combination. I find it best to finish by doing the whole car with a finishing polish to ensure an even looking appearance.
Always follow up the polishing stage with a glaze to add wettness to the shine by moisturising the paint.
Always follow up the polishing and glazing stage with a selant and/or wax to protect the finish.
As you can see from the (not to scale) diagrams, you're effectively removing paint using this technique so machine polishing is something that should only be carried out when required - say every six months to a year, otherwise you'll end up with clearcoat failure and require a re-spray if you machine polish every other day for example!
Swirls you can remove by machine - run your finger across any scratch, if it catches your nail its too deep to be removed by machine and will require filled and wet sanded then polished, which is a story for another thread.
The Porter Cable 7424 is one of the most popular machine polishers for beginners because its dual action nature makes it safe.
Striving for perfection - some swirls will be very deep and to fulle remove every single one may require the removal of a lot of clearcoat! Its sometimes best to leave behind the odd deep swirl in favour of keeping most of your clearcoat - the paint will still look immesne, and you wont be risking clearcoat failure.
and many others too, thes best thing is to start with a set of products and gain experience, find producs that you like and stick with them.
I know this has probably been discussed thousands of times, but im looking for a good swirl & scratch remover. My Caddy has some light scratches and swirls from the automatic car wash during the winter months. Now I know about autogeek and places like that, but im more looking for something I can buy locally from autozone or advance auto parts etc. Whats a good product for removing swirls? I tried a coat of wax but it didnt get rid of the swirls. Also whats good for removing light surfaces scratches? Just so I know what steps do you guys perform when totally detailing the outside of your cars? I know the first step consist of a good bubble bath, but i've never actually used a clay bar or scratch remover so im kinda iffy on the whole process.
A clay bar will not get rid of swirls, it will only remove surface contaminants from the paint, and it may cause some more minor scratching depending on how bad the paint is. You need a buffing machine and some swirl/scratch remover. I buy all of my stuff from AutoGeek, so I can't help you with AutoZone products. I will say that the Wolfgang line of products works wonderfully.
I was thinking of getting a new paint job, My Max has been thru hell and back this past year, since I had it off the road for a bit, then I was letting my uncle use it. He tried to buff it up and detail it out really nice for me, but now I got really bad swirl marks from the buffer all over the car, + Some scratch marks from gas cans sitting on the roof of the car (dont ask).
I could post some pictures if someone could give me advice wether to get a fresh paint job, or see if i can fix it up and get rid of the swirls and scratches with this.

The above information is a different kind of 'cousin' chart, and is based on real people. Frank Mayfield is the 'web guy' for this Higdon Family Association Website; Mary Virginia Higdon McCarty is Frank's 8th cousin 3 times removed. That makes Mary McCarty the most distant of distant cousins that Frank has had the pleasure of working with in his genealogical research, so far. The above chart gives you an easy way to determine consanguinity if you know both your own and your distant cousin's direct descent lines.

Governor Little selects Tom Harris to lead Tax Commission
Boise, Idaho – Governor Brad Little appointed Tom Harris of Eagle to serve as the new chairman of the Idaho State Tax Commission.
Harris retired in 2018 as president of Western States Equipment after 45 years with the company. He led the 850-employee multi-state company in its support and distribution of Caterpillar and related products.
Harris will lead three other governor-appointed tax commissioners in the management of the agency. The Tax Commission's duties include informing taxpayers about tax obligations and enforcing Idaho's laws to ensure fairness.
"Tom is a businessman and strategic thinker with strong leadership skills, and I am confident he will lead the Tax Commission with an eye for efficiency and customer service," Governor Brad Little said. "I am grateful for Tom's willingness to serve the people of Idaho in his new role."
Harris' term starts on May 8 and expires in 2025. He succeeds outgoing chairman, Ken Roberts.
"I join many others in expressing my appreciation to Ken Roberts for his contributions to the State of Idaho in his role at the Tax Commission for nearly seven years," Governor Little added.

Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation signs agreement to acquire Ovako Group from Triton
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC), one of the world's largest steel producers, has signed an agreement with funds advised by Triton to acquire 100 percent of Ovako Group. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval.
NSSMC is a global market leader in steel production with world-leading technologies and manufacturing capabilities. The group makes a wide range of value-added steel products in more than 15 countries as well as at 12 steelworks in Japan. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, NSSMC reported a crude steel production on a consolidated basis of 45 million tons.
"Ovako is a global technology leader regarding high-cleanliness steel for bearing steel and other advanced applications", says Kosei Shindo, President of NSSMC. "Our goal with the acquisition of Ovako is to strengthen and expand our global business and further strengthen our technology, product quality, and product development capability for special steel, and securing a base of manufacture and sales in Europe, to strengthen our global special steel business".
In the past years Ovako has implemented a number of key improvement initiatives, such as clear segment strategies, increased production efficiency, employee safety programs, investments in product development, establishment of a new global sales organization and the launch of digital tools to improve the sales process. This has resulted in new business, increased market shares, higher demand from customers and improved efficiency and profitability.
"I am very pleased that Ovako now will become part of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, a strong industrial owner and a clear technology leader in the global steel industry" says Marcus Hedblom, President and CEO of Ovako. "With the strong support of our shareholder Triton, Ovako has strengthened its competitiveness and its market positon significantly over the last years. Our target is to continue to grow over the coming years, and we expect that with the support and the technological leadership of NSSMC we will be able to bring even more value to our customers".
"Triton has been the owner of Ovako for more than seven years and it´s now an appropriate time for an industrial owner to continue the development of Ovako. We would like to thank the employees and management for their contributions to Ovako's successful development during Triton's ownership" says Joakim Olsson, Chairman of the Board of Ovako.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the terms of the transaction. Upon closing of the transaction, it is Ovako's intention to redeem the Ovako AB (publ) EUR 310 million 5.00 percent senior secured notes, due 2022.

La estampida de Turín ocurrió el 3 de junio de 2017 cuando un petardo causó el pánico durante la proyección de la Final de la Liga de Campeones de la UEFA 2016-17, en Turín, Italia. Al menos 1.527 personas resultaron heridas.

Estampida
La causa del pánico fue, cuando una persona gritó tras el estallido de un petardo, que se trataba de una bomba, y ocurrió la estampida humana. El resultado causó temor por otras posibles explosiones y disparos, aunque fueron desestimados por las autoridades.

Después de la estampida y la evacuación, en el suelo de la plaza estaban esparcidas las zapatillas de deporte de las personas que huyeron despavoridas.

Víctimas
Al menos 1.527 personas resultaron heridas, incluyendo siete en estado crítico.

Reacciones
Algunos fan de la Juventus dijeron que dicha estampida recordó a la tragedia de Heysel ocurrido en 1985, cuando 39 fanáticos, la mayoría italianos, murieron por un colapso en Bruselas, Bélgica, antes de empezar el partido entre la Juventus y el Liverpool F. C.

Gustav Ernst (* 15. Februar 1914 in Rotenburg in Hannover, heute: Rotenburg (Wümme); † im Januar 1999) war ein deutscher Politiker (FDP). Von 1967 bis 1970 sowie von 1974 bis 1978 war er Mitglied des Niedersächsischen Landtages.

Leben
Gustav Ernst soll einen höheren Rang in der Hitlerjugend innegehabt haben. Zum 1. März 1932 trat er der NSDAP bei (Mitgliedsnummer 1.000.825). Von 1936 bis zum Kriegsende 1945 war er bei der Wehrmacht. Er geriet in Kriegsgefangenschaft und arbeitete anschließend zunächst als Bauhilfsarbeiter, später als kaufmännischer Angestellter.

1947 trat Ernst der FDP bei. Er wurde Vorsitzender des Bezirksverbandes Braunschweig und Mitglied des Landesvorstandes. Von 1967 bis 1970 sowie von 1974 bis 1978 saß er für die FDP im Niedersächsischen Landtag. Als 1976 Ernst Albrecht (CDU) zum niedersächsischen Ministerpräsidenten gewählt wurde, obwohl eine SPD-FDP-Koalition die Mehrheit im Landtag hatte, wurde vermutet, Ernst habe für den CDU-Kandidaten gestimmt. Er setzte sich gegen diesen Verdacht jedoch gerichtlich zur Wehr.

Auch in der Kommunalpolitik war er als stellvertretender Landrat des Landkreises Northeim tätig.

Q: SVN Externals - Checkout whole project or part I am new to SVN so please forgive me if I am talking absolute rubbish here.
What i am trying to achieve is the following:
I want to have two repositories in my project: vendor and local.
The vendor repo will contain source code for a framework I am using and the local repo will contain all of my local code that runs within the framework.  I should also note that my local source code will be interspersed with the vendors via symlinks.
I want to keep my repositories separate in as much as that I want to be able to just check out my local repo and work on it without checking out the whole project.  Although at times the whole project will have to be checkout out.
Ideally I need to be able to checkout, work on and commit to the following:

*

*Local code only

*Vendor Code only

*Combination of vendor and local code

Will SVN externals allow this behaviour? If not, how is best to achieve this?

A: I don't see a reason to use svn:externals to solve your problem. If all you need to do is check out different projects, you can just structure your repository like so:
/
    local/
        branches/
        tags/
        trunk/
    vendor/
        <vendor-specific project structure>

When you need your local code, run svn co <server>/local/<branch> and when you need your vendor code you run svn co <server>/vendor/<whichever resource(s) you need>. Is there anything that I missed?

A: SVN externals will allow you 1) and 2).
For 3), you will have to perform multiple commit commands - one on each modified repository.
But it is quite easy to script (at least on linux).
On the other hand, I would recommend you to integrate with your vendor on different level - for instance, in java it would be better to have separate repos and integrate via JAR built on your server.

A: By separating your local and vendor repositories, you cannot check out the entire project (local + vendor) in a simple step. I suppose you to have just one repository, including your local and vendor source code. Now you can:
1)  Define an external for your local directory to get the vendor code whenever you check out it. (item 1 is satisfied)
2)  Define an external for your vendor directory to get the local code whenever you check out it. (item 2 is satisfied)
3)  If you want to check-out both your local and vendor source code, it is just enough to check out your root (/trunk) folder. (item 3 is satisfied)
If you still insist in having two separate repositories, items 1 and 2 could easily be satisfied by externals. For the third item, you can write a simple script to check out your local + vendor code into your working folder.

PM Mitsotakis' message to Greeks living in the USA
"Greece always needs the support of its children. And these, wherever they live, always need its bright sun and its blue seas," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday in his message to the Greeks living in the USA.
The prime minister stated that Greece is entering the second month of the emergency measures and that, following the illegal incursions of migrants at the border, the country also had to deal with the attack of an invisible enemy against health.
"We have won the first battle. And every day we are winning the second one. Through the government's bold and swift decisions. Through the mobilisation of the state. And with the responsible behaviour of all citizens, in cities and villages," he underlined, adding that his thoughts are with the Greeks, wherever they may be, and especially with those living in the USA.
"The experience in our country shows that calmness and solidarity bring results. So stay home, taking care of your personal hygiene and those who are most vulnerable. And stay next to each other. Our Embassy and Consulates will always be open to you. The organisations and our Church are a stable network of contribution and mutual aid," he underlined.
The prime minister also urged Greek-Americans to contact their relatives and get to know the new platform www.greecefromhome.com.
"We will succeed," he said, adding: "With responsibility and discipline, the ordeal of the pandemic will soon be over. And we must be healthy and with as few losses as possible. To meet again, united and strong, in the summer, at home."

The Virtuoso 16 simply contains all the best materials a mattress can offer. The mattress is made of fine materials, elegant fabrics and unique natural fibers. The high-density, inner layers provide an exclusive comfort and medium support. All in 12" of height.
The lining in natural satin viscose rayon combines the properties of viscose, which is incredibly soft and silky to the touch, with the qualities of satin. A sleek and elegant material with an excellent ability to wick away excess moisture, making the mattress remarkably breathable.
The combination of the layer in Mallow Foam (1") with relaxing properties along with the layer in Memoform HD (2 1/2") featured on both sides provides a remarkable sensation of wellbeing. Memoform HD, in fact, is an innovative, high-density visco-elastic foam that adapts to the body's shape perfectly, providing a soft and cozy comfort.
The middle layer is made of Eliosoft Breeze (5 1/2"), a highly breathable foam that is resistant to deformation over time.
Mallow has anti-inflammatory, calming and soothing properties. Magniflex's unique Mallow foam is a formulation that enhances the effects of the mallow plant, creating a source of well-being for the nervous system. The foam layers with mallow extracts provides a soft, comfortable and relaxing support. The ultimate definition of comfort at your fingertips.


Not as bad as some are describing it, but disappointing addition to what was a good series. Quite amusingly it seems like a string of perfume ads to me, and flowed as such. Ryan Reynolds was funny at times, but other than that pretty standard fare.

What is a fellowship?
A fellowship is a monetary award sometimes referred to as a scholarship. These funds are created for advanced study or research inside and outside the university and are generally made on a competitive basis. The purpose of providing these fellowships, according to the National Science Foundation's Division of Graduate Education, is "to assure a steady flow of diverse, high-ability students through the educational and research training systems."
How much $ does a fellowship offer?
Fellowship funds vary according to the foundation or individuals who create them. For example, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for Science and Engineering Education may offer fellowships that range from $300 – $600 per week to students who work to support the education, diversity and research objectives of the Department of Energy – Office of Science. Other fellowships, like postdoctoral awards in government agencies can match annual salaries. For example, NATO Science Fellowships offer approximately $35,000 per year renewable for up to two years to students entering postgraduate studies.
Who can apply for fellowships?
If you are planning to enter graduate or professional school, study abroad, need to do dissertation research or want professional development, you should apply for a fellowship as soon as possible.
What are some general criteria for applying for fellowships?
Eligibility requirements for fellowships are sometimes limited to members of specific groups, organizations, race, ethnicity, or gender, and residents of a particular geographic region. Some fellowship programs, like the GEM fellowship, allow you to apply directly if the school you attend is a member of that organization. Others may want the graduate program in which you intend to enroll to nominate you. Qualifications, such as grades, citizenship, community service, etc. depend on the funding source or creator of the fellowship.
What kinds of fellowships require interviews?
The more competitive a fellowship is, the more likely it is to require an interview as part of the selection process. Highly prestigious fellowships, like NASA's Graduate Student Researchers Program, may require more than one interview.

Iraqi Smoke And Ashes
By Nermeen Al-Mufti
Nermeen Al-Mufti sifts through the embers of Baghdad for the remnants of a town she knew so well.
Returning from the north to Baghdad on Wednesday I was confronted with devastation: no electricity, water, telecommunications or fuel. A trip through the ashes and rubble that was once my home is tearful and heart-wrenching. This is no longer the city in which I spent most of my life; it is now the capital of dolour and destruction. The most painful aspect of the experience is the sight of omnipresent, but polite, Yankee soldiers.
Making my way through the Bab Al-Mu'adham area of the northern end of the city, I passed numerous Abbasid buildings on the river's east bank. I came across a group of youths holding sticks and knives. One of them, Jassim, a student of the Faculty of Fine Arts, was brandishing a pistol. He had just been made leader of this group; vigilantes, apparently, filling the vacuum left by the forces of law and order. "There are groups like us everywhere in Baghdad to protect districts and property," he said. "We are not pretending to be heroes; we were forced to organize defense groups after the whole city was looted and burned."
In addition to Abbasid palaces, the districts of Baghdad also boasted high schools for boys. The first of these schools was established in Iraq in 1905 and remained a model school until recent times. Located here too is the House of Books and Documents, or the Grand Library, which housed hundreds of thousands of books and official Iraqi documents for the past 300 years -- all of which have been burned.
"If the Americans came to protect us from Saddam, why don't they protect our precious things?" Jassim moved to hide his tears and returned to the group, who were busy checking cars and trucks.
In the market of Bab Al-Mu'adham, which was the cheapest market before the invasion, things, too, have changed.
"Everything is very expensive," commented Maha Yousif, a dentist. "The cheapest commodities here are potatoes... and this at a time when we don't know where our next salary is coming from. What are we going to do? As far as I can recall, Bush said the sanctions would not be lifted as long as Saddam was president. Now he has been toppled, but still the US has not asked the Security Council to lift the sanctions. They came to occupy Iraq... but we will resist."
"We will resist," repeated Sherine Hassan, a well- known Iraqi artist. "We will resist by building Iraq. Throughout history, Iraqis have always emerged from the ashes."
"Liberation is in the taste of ashes and the colour of smoke," commented Ali Afeef, a young student of Baghdad University.
But the price of liberation is questioned by some.
"We do not want to start an early trial for Saddam Hussein," said Adnan Qottob, a writer, "but do you think that Saddam was it? I mean, that the price paid for the coalition and opposition forces to get rid of him was the destruction of Iraq?"
The general mood at the market is one of grief peppered with anger. Artist Hussein Mohy comments that all Iraqis are now broken-hearted, and is angry at the fact that while Saddam stole the dreams of the Iraqi people, the "Yankees" and the opposition have stolen their smiles. "Who could imagine that Baghdad could have been burnt again or occupied?" He also questioned the reasoning behind the recent events, saying that, as looters burned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office of General Security and the office of the mukhabarat (intelligence) "we will never know the secrets behind what happened, or behind Saddam Hussein himself. Do you think that the president was strong simply because he was a dictator, and a brutal one at that? Do people think that there was no external force supporting him?"
As for the opposition, while everybody here concedes that the atmosphere inside Iraq was not conducive to the establishment of a vibrant opposition, there is a general consensus that most Iraqi opposition figures lack credibility. Some people, like Jinan Jaleel, a professor of history, are also cynical about the intentions of the opposition.
"Their paymasters were in Iraq during the nineties, we know them very well. What do they think? They think people have lost their memories, but we will never forget. We will oppose them in the same way we will oppose the American occupation."
Not mincing words, Jaleel goes on to say that a lot of people think that many of the opposition figures are no different to Saddam; unfortunately the real truth will never be uncovered. "They sold Iraq to the Americans simply to rule Baghdad."
The final statement, however, says it all: "The coming months will be very hard for Iraqis, Americans and the opposition. The first step is to rebuild Iraq; we will do it."

Many people often ask me if I would fragrance online and what I find to be the advantages of doing so.
I expect good customer service when shopping and it's great when there is a knowledgeable sales advisor to help you make your decision. However, sometimes I feel under pressure to buy after looking around a shop for a period of time, especially when you feel that the helpful shop assistant may have their targets to meet! When shopping online this is definitely not the case as you have unlimited time to browse what's on offer without feeling pressurised. Shopping online can also be done 24/7, in the comfort of your own home, or you can browse on the go using a tablet or smartphone. For me this is a massive bonus and is one of the main reasons online shopping appeals so much. There's just something about being able to browse the latest designer offering in my pyjamas that appeals to me-I can't be the only one!
It's so much easier to compare products online. I find that it can be overwhelming at times when presented with a sea of beautiful bottles and eye-catching advertisements and offers. If buying perfume on a nicely presented, easy to navigate website this is not the case. I find that because of this point you're less likely to get caught up in the moment and make any rash decisions.
Most sites also use a cart or wish-list meaning you can save your selection and return to it another time once you have more information on the fragrance you're considering.
When comparing products online you also have a wide range of resources at your fingertips such as blogs, reviews, forums and social media sites. All of these resources can help you to make an informed decision before purchasing your desired fragrance. I always do my researching into a product before purchasing it online; I think this is one of the reasons why I have been more than happy with the majority of my online shopping experiences.
Looking for something in particular? Most sites enable you to define your search; this is great if you're looking for a certain brand of perfume. It's also good if you need to keep within a certain budget as you can only browse the fragrances within your chosen price range. Defining your search is also great when purchasing perfumes for other people as I find it to be the most time effective way of buying gifts for friends and family. Keep this in mind the next time you need a last minute gift-most online retailers provide next day delivery!
I personally like to keep my eye out for new releases and it's here I find defining my search a great advantage. By being able to quickly narrow down my search I can browse fragrances by the year they were released or browse from newest to oldest. If I see something I think I may like I can then keep my eye out for any reviews or information on the particular perfume.
When it comes to fragrances online it can be very difficult to know what you're looking at. When choosing fragrances I think it's important to know the different scents within a fragrance, this is where a good website or online retailer comes in handy. Most websites offer a detailed description of the fragrance which usually includes the different notes within the scent. This is great for buyers new to fragrances and aromas. Good quality online perfume retailers will also provide a fragrance wheel letting you easily identify what 'fragrance family' your perfume belongs to. This also makes it easier to know which types of scents you prefer in future. Some websites may go one further and suggest fragrances based on what you have previously looked at, these are usually scents that have similar ingredients or fragrance notes in common.


All the geek opinion and doomsaying in the world can't beat a crusty old Chicano machinist in a crusty old machine shop.
After Googling and dialing all over Hollywood, this Los Feliz and Glendale in search of an EDM-equipped shop, price I phoned a local machine shop and described my two mistakes.
"Ehhh, abortion bring it in, we'll see what we can do," says the crusty old voice at S&K Precision Engineering Co.
So I bring it in. Within an hour and a half, I get a call saying "It's all set." They drilled in with a carbide bit (probably a better one than I used, and used an extractor on one broken tap, and a punch on the other – and now the holes are cleared.
The guy even took pity on me and told me the secret: countersink the holes from now on before tapping them – and use some cutting oil.
Done. I'll be attacking that just as soon as the best little hardware store in Silver Lake restocks their 6mm Irwin thread taps. The ones that I seem to keep steadily depleting.

Walsall v Barnsley: Jennings returns to provide welcome lift
WALSALL'S Banks's Stadium holds happy memories from Barnsley's last visit there – and a rewind of the clock with another sweet victory would certainly suffice this afternoon.
The West Midlands venue was where the Reds secured their play-off spot on the final day of the 2005-06 regular season – a fateful campaign which ended in promotion to the Championship at the Millennium Stadium.
A late goal from the spot from Daniel Nardiello sealed a 2-1 win and while three points today would hardly resonate like that success, it would provide a big shot in the arm to the club and Danny Wilson.
After an upturn at the start of November, Barnsley have seen their form dip again in a four-match winless streak, with the Reds – by Wilson's own admission – lucky to take Conference outfit Chester to an FA Cup replay in Cheshire on Tuesday after a poor 0-0 draw at Oakwell last Sunday.
A congested treatment room is compounding matters, with Wilson awaiting on a number of players ahead of today's game, including Peter Ramage and James Bailey, with Sam Winnall still ruled out.
But rather than bemoan his lot, Wilson is keeping calm and carrying on. He said: "That is football sometimes. One moment, you have got a full complement and the next you are struck down by injuries.
"You have just got to get on with it. What we always say is that it is an opportunity for others to come in and stake a claim."
One boost arrives in the return to fitness of Dale Jennings and after a fitful season, Wilson is hoping he can provide a timely boost.
He added: "I am delighted Dale Jennings is back. It has been intermittent this season for him, for one reason or another.
"But, hopefully, he has put all that behind him and he'll be with us for the Christmas period."

Q: Brightness Controls Serious Lag Ubuntu 15.04 I have a Asus N56v Laptop, recently upgraded to Vivid and now my Brightness Controls accessed via (FN+F5, FN+F6, FN+F5) have a dramatic lag. I can wait 30 up to 120 seconds before the keystroke is registered and the system adjusts.
I initially didn't think they were working at all, after spamming the keys it took 10 minutes to finish adjusting. The Volume keys configured the same way with fn+f10 work just fine and quickly.
This isn't the first time I have run into issues with the brightness controls either. They worked perfectly on Ubuntu 14.04 but stopped working all together in 14.10 and now they work but with extreme latency.
Any Ideas?

A: I have the same problem now. My brightness controller was running fine on Ubuntu 14.10. But recently u upgraded to Vivit and now it's extreme laggy like you said. I have a 4th gen laptop.
I think the kernel is responsible somehow for our graphic cards driver because when i upgraded to Linux Kernel 3.19 on Ubuntu 14.10 i got the same issue and then i reverted back to the original one. But now 15.04 is using kernel 3.19 which may be causing this problem.
Maybe someone has a solution for us :)

Q: UWP StorageFile.CopyAsync() Throwing Error: "Value does not fall within the expected range." I am trying to overwrite a file with a new version inside of an AppData sub-directory.
Current process is that the user has to select the File to overwrite, and the folder directory it sits in separately so that I can add them to the future access list. Later on the user can select from a collection of images, and it's at that point that it needs to copy and overwrite the destination file. The code I've tried to do this is as follows:
// lets try to copy file to wallpaper default location.
ApplicationDataContainer localSettings = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
var faToken = localSettings.Values["WallpaperStorageFileFAToken"] as string;
var faTokenFolder = localSettings.Values["WallpaperStorageFolderFAToken"] as string;

var destinationFile = await LoadExistingFileSelection(faToken);
var destinationFolder = await LoadExistingFolderSelection(faTokenFolder);

StorageFile movedFile = null;
try
{
    movedFile = await imageFile.CopyAsync(destinationFolder, destinationFile.Name, NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
}
catch (Exception genEx)
{
    //
}

The Fa tokens are taken after an FileOpenPicker is used by the User to get the StorageFile and a FolderPicker used to get the StorageFolder for the directory of the destination.
LoadExistingFolderSelection and LoadExistingFileSelection use the following bits of code to get the StorageFiles and StorageFolder
await StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList.GetFileAsync(faToken);

and
await StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList.GetFolderAsync(faFolderToken);

The issue is that this line:
imageFile.CopyAsync(destinationFolder, destinationFile.Name, NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

Throws this error:

"Value does not fall within the expected range."

and that's it, literally nothing else, any thoughts would be great.

A: Backslashes... Honestly this is one of those moments in you're development career where you just sit there and sigh, because it's just so dumb.
So I could happily retrieve the image I wanted to copy absolutely fine into a StorageFile object, with a path that contained 1 additional backslash that the Windows OS File Explorer wouldn't have batted an eye lid about.
No problem so far, great proceed to then run a copy operation against that, and suddenly you get the

"Value does not fall within the expected range."

exception, argue-ably one of the least helpful exceptions relating to a problem with a file path that I've seen.
So there you have it, backslashes, really carefully examine the Path property. Hindsight. Normally I would just remove that question because this answer isn't particularly any kind of great revelation. But I figure it can stay as a warning about the fearsome backslash and UWP's Storage API.
