The School of Public Policy at UCL invites applications for the Pentland Scholarship to support one individual undertaking its Global EMPA programme run jointly with the Wagner School in New York. The Global EMPA programme is intended to equip talented professionals, who have at least five years work experience, to develop their analytical skills and managerial competence so that they are able to provide public policy leadership in conditions of contemporary governance.
The Global EMPA is a full time one-year programme. Students will spend the first semester at NYU Wagner in New York, the spring term at UCL in London and the summer in locations across the globe working on a client-based Capstone project.
The scholarship will be awarded to individuals from Africa, Asia-Pacific or Latin America and will support outstanding young people at an early stage in their careers, who can demonstrate a capacity to benefit from the programme, a clear sense in which they will be able to contribute to public service and who lack the means to finance their own study.
The Pentland Scholarship represents a unique partnership which enables talented young professionals from the Global South to take advantage of this innovative one year programme. The successful candidate will benefit from additional access to an internship with Pentland, membership of a global community of Pentland Scholars and UCL/NYU scholars and alumni.
The scholarship meets the full cost of tuition and fees for the programme and will provide the successful individual with a full stipend.
Applicants must meet the admissions requirements for the Global EMPA as detailed on the NYU website.
Scholarships will be awarded to applicants from Africa, Asia-Pacific, or Latin America on the basis of best fit to the programme and an assessment of financial need.
Applicants should submit a CV (no longer than four A4 pages) along with an 'Application Form'. By the scholarship deadline date, applicants must also have submitted a full application for the Global EMPA online at the NYU Wagner admissions portal.

Q: how to select and drag objects in fabric.js I have this jsfiddle as an example here i used fabric.js in this will create lines when we button clicked .. my problem is how to select or move objects in the canvas in fabric.js ?
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c', { selection: false });

var line, isDown;

canvas.on('mouse:down', function(o){
  isDown = true;
  var pointer = canvas.getPointer(o.e);
  var points = [ pointer.x, pointer.y, pointer.x, pointer.y ];
  line = new fabric.Line(points, {
    strokeWidth: 5,
    fill: 'red',
    stroke: 'red',
    originX: 'center',
    originY: 'center'
  });
  canvas.add(line);
});

canvas.on('mouse:move', function(o){
  if (!isDown) return;
  var pointer = canvas.getPointer(o.e);
  line.set({ x2: pointer.x, y2: pointer.y });
  canvas.renderAll();
});

canvas.on('mouse:up', function(o){
  isDown = false;
});

if i make the first line as var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c', { selection: true }); i can get the bounding box but i can"t able to drag

A: I solved this problem.
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c', { selection: false });

var line, isDown;

canvas.on('mouse:down', function(o){
    if(canvas.findTarget(o.e))return;
  isDown = true;
  var pointer = canvas.getPointer(o.e);

L'oie de Bavière ou oie bavaroise (en allemand : Bayerische Landgans) est une oie domestique, sans standard officiel, qui est élevée depuis des siècles en Franconie, dans le Haut-Palatinat, en Basse-Bavière et en Souabe. Les oies fermières de ces régions de Bavière sont communément appelées .

Le coloris bleu du plumage de l'oie de Franconie l'a fait reconnaître comme oie d'exposition par le Bund Deutscher Rassegeflügelzüchter.

Conservation
La Société de conservation des races domestiques anciennes et en danger (Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung alter und gefährdeter Haustierrassen) a inscrit les oies de Bavière avec les poules fermières du Berg, le chanteur du Berg, la Berg-Schlotter et la courtes-pattes à la liste des races en danger en 2001. La Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung a inscrit les oies bavaroises à la liste rouge des races utilitaires en danger en 2013 dans la classe I (danger extrême). En effet, il n'y avait plus qu'une centaine d'individus inscrits.

Q: Function isn't adding the 2 matrix Having an issue where my function rotMatfromVec won't add the 2 Matrices at the end. It takes in 2 inputs, R and theta, where R is a unit vector.
rotMatfromVec[R_, Theta_] :=
  Module[{i, j, k},
    i = {1, 0, 0};
   j = {0, 1, 0};
   k = {0, 0, 1};

   iR = Dot[i, R] R;
   jR = Dot[j, R] R;
   kR = Dot[k, R] R;
   mR = N[MatrixForm[{iR, jR, kR}]];

   iP = i - iR;
   jP = j - jR;
   kP = k - kR;
   mP = N[MatrixForm[{iP, jP, kP}]];

   iC = Cross[R, iP];
   jC = Cross[R, jP];
   kC = Cross[R, kP];
   mC = N[MatrixForm[{iC, jC, kC}]];

   mCP = Cos[Theta] mP + Sin[Theta] mC;
   M = MatrixForm[mR + mCP];
   Return[M];
   ];
Print["M = ", rotMatfromVec[i, Pi/2]];

This keeps evaluating to this answer and not performing the addition
{{0,0,0},{0,0,1},{0,-1,0}}+{{1,0,0},{0,0,0},{0,0,0}}

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Anaphylaxis | Brazil| PDF | PPT| Case Reports | Symptoms | Treatment
Anaphylaxis is a serious severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to something you're allergic to, such as a peanut or the venom from a bee sting.Factors responsible for the anaphylaxis include certain foods, some medications, insect venom and latex. Symptoms of Anaphylaxis occur within minutes or hours as soon as exposed to allergen. The early symptoms may be mild, such as a runny nose, and nausea and vomiting. Common causing agents are venom from insect bites or stings, foods and medication. Venom from stinging or biting insects may cause anaphylaxis in susceptible people. People with atopic diseases such as asthma, eczema, or allergic rhinitis are at high risk zone.
Anaphylaxis is diagnosed on the basis of its symptoms. People with a history of allergic reactions may be at greater risk for developing a severe reaction in the future. Allergists have expertise to review the history of allergic reactions conducts diagnostic tests (such as skin-prick tests, blood tests and oral food challenges) to determine the factors and suggesting the treatment accordingly.Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction affecting many systems of the body. It is caused majorly due to the release of inflammatory mediators and cytokines from mast cells and basophils, typically due to an immunologicreaction but sometimes non-immunologic mechanism.
An anaphylactic attack can be treated immediately with an injection of epinephrine, Oxygen, Intravenous (IV) antihistamines and cortisone or beta-agonist. At risk of anaphylaxis, carry auto injectable epinephrine (adrenaline). This is a single dose of medication that is injected into the thigh during an anaphylactic emergency. The best ways to manage condition are avoid allergens that trigger your allergic reactions.In Brazil the prevalence rate for Anaphylaxis disorder is about 11.3 percent of the population among which 4.8 percent are of aged 1-12 years.

More than 8,000 new companies joined the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the first half of 2016, according to a report on its half-year activities.
It brings the non-profit organisation's total membership to 193,000, representing a 4.3 percent growth, according to state news agency WAM.
Total exports and re-exports of chamber members reached about $37.6 billion (AED138 billion), with Saudi Arabia ranking as the top destination for members' exports and re-exports in the region, at a value of almost $12 billion (AED44 billion).
The chamber registered a two percent growth in issuing certificates of origin (COOs) in the first half of 2016, totalling more than 478,000, compared with 469,000 issued during the same period in 2015.
It shows that Dubai's economy is resilient against the adversities of global economic challenges, according to Hamad Buamim, the chamber's president and CEO.
"The emirate's capability in reducing the effects of the global economic slowdown comes from its competence based on the economic diversity and the UAE's strategy to move away from oil resources, which actually complements the vision of the country's wise leadership in creating a competitive economic order," said Buamim.
The chamber also issued 125 ATA Carnets for the temporary import of goods during the first half of 2016.
The Dubai Association Centre (DAC) granted 23 licences for the establishment of global professional associations in the emirate, according to the report.
The centre was established in 2014 under an agreement between the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dubai Business Events, part of the Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing) and the Dubai World Trade Centre. It provides a formal environment for international non-profit, scientific and professional associations to conduct business.


Temperama: Who Do We Think We Are?
Mark Easton's Radio 4 series on post-war crime continued this morning with an examination of the amazing difference between government "get tough" rhetoric under the Tories in the Eighties and what they were actually doing. One of the things they were doing most of was not taking any notice of the soaring crime statistics. And when they were taking notice their response was to beg judges to send fewer people to jail - ha! - while ignoring the screaming evidence that the surge in burglaries and thefts from cars was related to high youth unemployment ("shaking out the economy") and the arrival of vast quantities of heroin on the streets. They really were rubbish, weren't they?
"The problem with the 'British values' debate is that...these can never be uniformly practiced or even be prevented from dying out as cultures evolve. This is the main reason why the Gordon Brown inspired debate on British values is not going anywhere - no one is sure what values are being talked about. A British constitution offers us codified and easily accessible political values, which we can build a shared civic culture around. Political values such as strong democratic institutions, a commitment to freedom of speech, clearly laid out civil rights and more, which can be adopted by all citizens without them having to be forced to support Andy Murray or watch re-runs of Only Fools and Horses."
I've long been sniffy about the value of a written constitution, suspecting it to be chattering class thing. But maybe I'm persuadable. The rest of Sunny's piece is here.
"The Union flag is a powerful symbol of both our heritage and modern, diverse Britain. It brings us together in solidarity and shared identity."
Except when it doesn't, that is.
"Thinking about your nationality, to what extent do you feel British?"
The answers received were that 28 percent felt "completely" British, 31 percent "a lot" British, 27 percent "a little" British and eleven percent "not at all" British. BBC Online duly announced that "more than a third of British Asians do not feel British," which is one way of describing the statistical glass (another being that it is two-thirds full). But what does feeling British signify to British Asians in the first place? Some of those Asians questioned might have taken it to signify being resident in Britain and having a British passport. To others it might have denoted certain long-standing customs, such as eating roast beef on Sundays or drinking too much beer. And so on. Responses would surely vary according to what each person questioned thought it meant to "feel British", a notion so abstract and subjective that it defies most peoples' efforts to pin it down, whatever their roots or ethnicity.
It's all nonsense anyway. The media and politicians' preoccupation with bigging up Britishness is a populist distraction from the more important business of building social solidarity. Patriotism and good citizenship often overlap but they are not the same thing. Some of the vilest and most divisive people in these islands boast loudly of their love of country. Give me fellow citizens who pay their taxes, lend me their hosepipe or feed my cats while I'm away and I couldn't care less how British they feel.
The only coverage I've found today of yesterday's celebration in Trafalgar Square of Pakistan's 60th anniversary, was some non-story about a bunch of antique rifles being seized. Shame. BBC News was there though, and so was Britain's boxing champion Amir Khan, who was briefly interviewed. Khan was waving two flags, the UK's and Pakistan's. His message? My identity embraces both countries. You failed the Tebbit cricket test, Amir. Well done!
"The report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation about inequality in the UK should be read alongside their research on public attitudes to inequality. 73% of people agreed that "the gap between those with high and low incomes [is] too large" in a survey in 2004. Over the last twenty years, large majorities have agreed with this statement. 58% believe that inequality exists because it serves the interests of the rich and powerful, only 17% think it is necessary for Britain's economic success. Just under 60% agree that 'ordinary working people do not get their fair share of the nation's wealth', considerably fewer than those who think the gap between very rich and very poor is too large, but still a majority. So you'd expect to find support for redistribution of wealth, right?"
Wrong. Now read on. Then read Vino's conclusion.
If you missed the start of Mark Easton's Radio 4 series The Crime Of Our Lives, I recommend you listen again to it. I wasn't sure it was really about crime in Britain as such, but more of an examination of post-war cultural figures associated with new kinds of social disorder - namely teddy boys - and the response of the authorities and Establishment to them. No less worth hearing for that, though.
A new report from Ofsted on the teaching of history says that too close a focus on a small number of issues makes it difficult for pupils to see the bigger picture of how the past informs the present day. It also concludes that events in England enjoy undeserved precedence over those in Scotland, Wales and Ireland and those countries from which immigrants to Britain have come. I've yet to read the whole report, but the summary of its key points suggests it contains pointers to reconciling the traditionalists' argument for a more narrative approach to the subject with those of a more multiculturalist persuasion who want any such narrative to recognise all Britain's constituent parts and cultural influences over time. Such a reconciliation strikes me as highly desirable, as does a general revitalisation of history in schools as a key part of building a truly modern sense of citizenship among the young. Perhaps I'll add the whole report to my holiday reading.
"...proper, unironic, unembarrassed, hatlike hats."
What further recommendation do you require to read it all?
"Mr Cameron talked [last week] admiringly about the American solidarity embodied in the pledge of allegiance and Mount Rushmore. Yet in Chicago and elsewhere, black Americans are more ghettoised than any minority is anywhere in Britain (they also intermarry less than blacks in Britain). Slavery, of course, makes black Americans a special case—but so are any number of British Muslims. Many are refugees; others are from families who migrated to the old imperial motherland from backward parts of Pakistan and Bangladesh, to work in British factories that subsequently closed. Many of their American counterparts may indeed stick the Stars and Stripes on their front lawn as devoutly as do other hyphenated Americans; but, apart from their faith, they may not have much in common with the Muslims of Burnley or Oldham. The vogue for promoting a new, inclusive Britishness is well-intentioned, but probably doomed. National identities cannot be confected—and besides, the British already have one. Privacy and freedom are two of its nicer components, and multiculturalism, for all its failings, has been a fine expression of it."
Mr Brown too might like to bear in mind this view from the Right. Read the whole piece.


just a little bit of busy.
I'm supposed to list 6 things I am grateful for, and then pass this on to 6 other bloggers.
1. I am incredibly grateful for my children who keep me laughing through the tears on the hard days.
2. I'm so very grateful for my friends, in real life, and here on the Internet. You guys keep me connected to the world, help me to stay grounded, and are there for me in so many ways. Thank you.
3. I'm grateful for my hubby who serves his country in the Army, and devotes so much of his life to it, as he lovingly cares for me and our daughters.
4. I am grateful that through these economic hardships we are facing as a country, we remain blessed with a job for hubby, a home over our heads, and food on our tables.
5. I am grateful for my able hands to work here at home, and to be creative with. We all too often take for granted the ability to do the daily tasks that are so necessary to life.

(April-16) "What exactly is organic produce?" What does Co-op tell consumers?
How Newcastle in-store staff responded: "It is grown with nothing within the ground. We don't have anything marked up as organic, you'd be better going to somewhere like Waitrose."
(March-16) "Do Scottish consumers have a preference for where their fresh produce is grown?" What does Co-op tell consumers?
How Edinburgh in-store staff responded: "We have customers asking for specific Scottish produce including strawberries and mushrooms. We also have a local organic range but this has reduced in recent years."
(February-16) "How is this year's English apple season going? Also, is homegrown produce important to your customers?" What does Co-op tell consumers?
How Manchester in-store staff responded: Due to shortage of larger stores, survey was taken place in a small convenience store and therefore there was no-one around to ask the question.
(January-16) "Recent bad weather: impacting home-grown produce availability?" What does Co-op tell consumers?
How Cardiff in-store staff responded: "Fresh produce is held in a central distribution centre where it is distributed from there. Here in Cardiff, we have not had a problem with fresh produce at all."
(December-15) Is fresh more nutritious than frozen? What does Co-op tell consumers?
How Reading in-store staff responded: "I don't think there is much difference. They freeze them in a matter of hours after being taken from the field but if it was me, I would go fresh."
(November-15) Are we supporting British farmers? What does Co-op tell consumers?
How Ashford in-store staff responded: Could not ask, no staff.
(October-15) Local produce fresher than imported? What does Co-op tell consumers?
When we say local, we mean local. We started our Sourced Locally initiative back in 2007, and couldn't be happier with its success. We started out simply selling locally grown asparagus, and now stock well over 2,400 different products from 140 suppliers across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex: everything from beer, bread and bacon to honey, haddock and heat logs.
Our customers are also increasingly buying local, with a 31% increase in Sourced Locally sales and a £12m turnover in the last financial year. This means that since the scheme launched, we've ploughed more than £25 million back into the regional economy and supported the creation of around 400 new jobs in the region. Our producers - We really care about our producers and suppliers. We work with them directly to make sure they are treated as equal partners, and that their businesses have a sustainable future.
How Sheffield in-store staff responded: From my experience and from all the stock we carry, local produce is generally fresher than imported, but that's my view.
(September-15) "Avocados Fattening?" What does Co-op tell consumers?

Find more information about diabetes online, or pop into your local branch.
How Swindon in-store staff responded: She offered to ask another member of staff out the back of the store, but response was that she was not qualified to answer the question and that he must have been given a list of preferred foods. He eventually said he is not allowed to answer these types of questions.
(July-15) "Organic Produce Pesticide Free?" What does Co-op tell consumers?
What the website says: Pesticide use is currently an unavoidable fact given the scale of our operations; we simply could not meet the expectations of our customers in terms of availability, quality and price if we did not.
In the UK, the use of all pesticides is already strictly regulated by the EU and the UK's Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) to ensure that they are safe for the consumer, environment and the operator.
The Co-operative Group goes one step further and undertakes its own assessment of all approved chemicals. As a result we have banned, or restricted the use of, a number of chemicals that are used by other farmers and approved by other large retailers.
reducing the need for pesticides.
We keep abreast of any new developments that reduce the quantity of pesticide that is needed to adequately control the pest or disease, eg. treating seed with small quantities of certain pesticides can reduce the need for further pesticide applications to the crop grown from it.
We use the above techniques (known as Integrated Crop Management), along with expert advice and training for our farmers and farm workers to ensure that we use pesticides responsibly and with the least possible impact on the environment.
How Bristol in-store staff responded: Member of staff asked did not know for sure, but took me to read the label on the organic produce. There was no mention of pesticides but just wildlife and animal welfare in mind.
(June-15) "British Strawberries During Wimbledon?" What does Co-op tell consumers?
What the website says: At The Co-operative Food, we've always supported the UK farming industry and promoted British food. Recently, you, our customers and members, have shown a big interest in where your food comes from, and we know how important animal welfare, the environment and fairness in the supply chain are to you.
How Leeds in-store staff responded: Was friendly and would have liked to have helped but did not know how long they have British strawberries in stock for. Only knows what's available when the deliveries turn up.
(May-15) "Food Waste?" What does Co-op tell consumers?
What the website says: Work with Fareshare or segregated food waste is sent to anaerobic digestion facilities to generate energy. Help customers reduce food waste through support for the Love Food Hate Waste campaign. Print storage instructions for fruits and vegetables on fresh produce bags; hold Watch Your Waste Membership events; and provide tips for utilising leftovers in our customer magazine.
How Cambridge in-store staff responded: It just goes to waste - the meats get sold on but the fresh produce just gets put in the waste.


We would like to say a big WELCOME to our friend Mesk :) nice to have you in SK2 with us!
We had a very productive day today alhamdulillah. We started off our day finishing off our phonics work in our Jolly Phonics workbooks. The students came in and found their books open waiting for them!
During Quraan class the students worked on the first 3 ayas of surat Al-Takathur. Teacher Ibtissam has a very unique way of creating healthy competition between the groups to keep them all motivated.
We read our morning message, and talked about the temperature and how it starts dropping in the fall. Masha'Allah the students are being excellent meteorologists bringing in news of the day's temperature. We sang our fall song, and our four season song.
Red, yellow, green, and brown.
We love them all! - We love them all!
In gym class we did our warm ups, and played some games that will help the children follow instructions in the gym. This is really important to help ensure the safety of the children during gym time.
We read a big book about Apples, and talked about our favourite kind of apples! You can expect lots of apple talk, and activities during the month of October insha'Allah.
We learned the letter Aa, and the correct formation of the letter in both capital form and lower case form. We squeezed our brains and brainstormed for Aa-words, the children came up with quite a few masha'Allah.
Outside we had lots of fun playing with the school's parachute in the playground!

Pattern Description: A pencil skirt with lace overlay.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes! Perfect for beginners.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any changes, but I should have made the skirt longer, below knee. Maybe next time.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I'll definitely sew it again and again. And I think it's a great wardrobe builder. Everyone should have a lace skirt in their closet. They're perfect for dinner dates or a night out with friends.
Thanks Raliat! Enjoy your weekend..
Absolutely gorgeous. The color and fabric is stunning.
Beautifully coordinated, lace skirts are so dreamy!

So tell us about the Fairy's Assistant!
The Fairy's Assistant is a story about Hayden, who helps his fairy perform her good deeds, which does not involve as much magic as you might think. In a land where magic is pretty much forbidden, Hayden is a bind. They have a new assignment, but at the same time he is on the run from Sidney, who believes there is something more to Hayden than he lets on. From there the ball starts rolling. Or should I say bouncing?
Did you like The Fairy's Assistant?
Yes and no. Hayden is a likeable character with a bit of angst. As is Sidney. The knightly knight on a mission. The story is very straightforward and sweet, but what it lacked is conflict. There was no real beginning, no high points, no real low points and no real ending. Every obstacle or crisis just quietly fizzles out. Which makes this an enjoyable story, but not exciting.
What about the world this story is set in?
The story is set in your typical fairytale world with knights, fairies and farmboys. There is a kingdome of course and mages. While the worldbuilding is not terribly striking or unique, it was subtly and well done. The world is woven into the story as just being there and normal. No over-explaining or elaborate descriptions. I like that.


Apache JMeter is an excellent tool for simulating user load on a web application in order to test performance. You can easily build a test plan by specifying the number of users and the interval between requests, and JMeter will then spawn a thread per user and hit your webapp. At the end of the test, you will get a performance summary report showing the min, max and average response times.
There are a number of other components that can be added to the test plan as well. For example, you can add a "HTTP Header Manager" to the Thread Group if you want to add any fields to the request's header. The "Response Assertion" component is useful for checking if you have received the desired response from the server.
Once you are happy with your test plan, you can save it to a file and then run it on the command line whenever you need to load test your application or as part of your continuous build process.

Are you a Twitter user that perhaps is struggling to keep up with all of the 'white noise' that you may find is happening on Twitter? If you're following more then 100 people (and most do), it's possible that not only do you not get to see all the tweets that are on your timeline, but you're missing the ones that you perhaps a bit keener on seeing.
One of the features that sets Twitter apart, in my opinion, is its asynchronous relationships. Simply put, this means that I can follow you on Twitter, but you don't have to follow me back. This allows us all to build timelines that are demonstrably useful and interesting to us – not because of some pseudo obligation, but because the person you're choosing to follow is interesting.
Choosing who to follow based on this concept will help keep your Twitter vibrant and interesting. Too many fall into the trap of following a bunch of people, then unfollowing the ones that don't follow them back…rinse & repeat. This may build up 'numbers', but who cares how many people follow you? Surely, you should be more interested in how many people engage with you?
It's this fundamental that is often missed and it leads to worrying results. Accounts that have 10,000's of followers (and 'following'), but devoid of any real substance.
But, what if you find more than 'a few' people who are interesting? Well, that's what Twitter Lists are for.
Twitter Lists are a feature of the popular micro-blogging platform that allows you to segment the accounts you're following. This, in turn, lets you see more of what you need to see, right now.
Used correctly, they help you to become more responsive and increase your engagement (which is what social's all about, right?).
Using Lists allows you to sub-divide these accounts into smaller, more manageable groups. And once you've done that, suddenly, Twitter takes on a whole new feel.
There are two types of Twitter list, each with its own purpose and use. Used well (and in combination), you can take your Twitter 'game' to a how new level.
The public list is, as the name suggests, a public (visible, notified) list. The name you give it can be seen by the Twitterverse. The description you give it can add additional context to why you're curating this community which will help others decide if they want to engage with the list or its individual members, but also send a clear signal to the members.
Each time you add someone to your public list, a notification may appear in their Twitter. If this is useful, it can help provide context to the relationship between you and them. Used poorly (spamming etc.) can lead to you getting blocked and/or reported. So, please use this wisely.
This is a list we use at Hypestar to keep a list of who has contributed to the HypeXpert series on the blog. It's manual task, but takes only a few seconds to add someone to the list – and it helps elevate the members' profiles a little more (we believe it giving credit where it's due).
This is a [small] perk of being part of the programme, so it's something we like to maintain.
Adding the description to this public list adds the critical context to why we're building this community. Imagine having a public in your industry that curates people who are doing amazing things in 'X'. It's a wonderful way to 'introduce' yourself to brands.
I firmly believe this – it's just not going to cut the mustard anymore. Following someone on Twitter, whether because of how long the network has been around (and the novelty of being followed has worn off) or because the notion of being followed has been ruined by would-be spammers and crappy social media management companies desperately trying to get their clients the promised "'x' thousand followers by the end of the month", doesn't really matter – the fact is, it just doesn't mean what it used to.
And many of you will know my hatred of the 'if you follow me, I'll follow you back' mentality.
But public lists are (can be) special. If I'm added to a list and it's called "People who are awesome", that's going to mean a whole lot more than just "You've been followed on Twitter". And it's not even the vanity aspect, if I were added to "People who annoy me" – while notably upsetting – it would add context to the relationship.
Think really carefully about how you name/describe your Twitter Lists.
This one's a really interesting one. Forget everything I've just said because private lists are a wonderful secret mechanism that you can use to monitor some pretty powerful stuff. On the same ilk as public lists (cutting out the white noise), private lists let you do this is a much more subtle way.
Members will not be notified when added to this list and there is no way for anyone [who isn't logged into your Twitter acount] to find this type of list.
So if there's a group of accounts that you may want to make sure you keep a close eye on, private Twitter Lists could be a great fit.
I tend to use it more on the client side. Especially for those that I have trained – I obviously have a vested interested in them succeeding, so I keep a closer eye on those accounts and can then jump in and say 'hey, try this and toggle that' to see if I can enhance the effect of training already covered.

Magazine Roundup
Tuesday 27 March, 2012
The Republicans are waging a war against women, the New York Magazine declares. Perhaps it's because women are so unabashed about reading porn in public - that's according to publisher Beatriz de Moura in El Pais Semanal, at least. Polityka remembers Operation Reinhard. Tensions are growing between Poland and Hungary as Victor Orban spreads his influence, prompting ruminations on East European absurdity from both Elet es Irodalom and salon.eu.sk.

Life in a bubble
Wednesday 21 March, 2012
Awarded a Silver Bear at this year's Berlinale, Christian Petzold's new film "Barbara" is a GDR drama set in the early 1980s. Colourful and romantic beyond any nostalgia for the East, it relates the situation of female doctor caught in the circumstances of having applied for an exit visa. For Petzold, the film is not only a highly personal story of a woman in conflict but a film about what was lost - especially for women - with the fall of the Wall in 1989.
When soft power fails the acid test
Western museums are opening their halls for huge state exhibitions in collaboration with non-democratic regimes. The British Museum is currently hosting an exhibition on the Hajj which is funded by Saudi Arabia and reflects the royal family's position on the ritual. Should an institution dedicated to secular learning accommodate such religiously doctrinaire exhibitions? Yes, says Malise Ruthven in the New York Review of Books blog, who evidently believes in the conciliatory effects of such cultural politics.

Poison envy
Read the first English excerpt from historian Goetz Aly's new book "Why the Germans? Why the Jews? Equality, Envy and Racial Hatred 1800 - 1933". In response to this question that has been hanging in the air since the end of WWII, Goetz Aly points to the lack of education and fear of progress in so many German Christians at the turn of the century - and to the contrasting readiness of the Jewish population to embrace the new opportunities and education as the ticket to social mobility. Shamed by their shortcomings, the Germans soon turned to racial theory to conceal their envy and resentment.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Columbus Blue Jackets took advantage of the Minnesota Wild, who were coming off an emotional game a day earlier. The Blue Jackets got goals from Cam Atkinson, Nick Foligno, Boone Jenner and R.J. Umberger and Curtis McElhinney posted his first shutout since 2011 in a 4-0 victory on Friday night. "We talked about them playing last night and there was definitely an emphasis to jump all over them," Umberger said, referring to the Wilds 4-3 home win over Chicago. "We were moving pretty good." The Blue Jackets had not played since Tuesday, filling the time with two hard, full practices in which they were able to work on several problem areas. Minnesotas Zach Parise knew his team didnt have its heart in the game. "We were just flat and not crisp," he said. "We were pretty brutal through the neutral zone and couldnt get anything generated." Wild coach Mike Yeo didnt want to use his clubs first home win over the Blackhawks since 2008 as an excuse, but still thought that was the root of his clubs problems. "We played right into that (being tired), too, turning pucks over," he said. "We were on our heels, slow reacting, slow getting to places. We were not pressing the way we needed to be." It was the Blue Jackets second win in a row, the first time theyve won back-to-back games since Oct. 25. They did it in their first game without last years Vezina Trophy winner as the NHLs top goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky, who will miss the next month or so with a strained groin. McElhinney made 20 saves in his first shutout since Feb. 5, 2011, while with the Anaheim Ducks. "Its a good feeling for me to step in here again and have another shutout game, another win," he said, referring to the Blue Jackets consecutive shutouts. "Hopefully, its the start of something good and we can keep it going." Foligno and Umberger each also had assists and Ryan Johansen added two assists to stretch his points streak to four games. The Blue Jackets have been struggling with injuries. In addition to Bobrovsky, top offensive threat Marian Gaborik (sprained knee) is out for another two weeks and top off-season free-agent signing Nathan Horton (shoulder surgery) has yet to play in a Columbus sweater and likely wont be ready for at least another month. McElhinneys third NHL shutout came in his 78th game. After a scoreless first period, the Blue Jackets took over. At the 1:17 mark of the second, Atkinson took a pass from Dubinsky and wristed a shot from the top of the right circle that Minnesota goalie Niklas Backstrom didnt appear to see. He barely moved as the puck beat him high and near his right shoulder. "Some games its tougher to swallow the puck when you dont see it," he said. The Blue Jackets went on their first power play when Matt Cooke went off for hooking. Columbus soon took advantage on the man advantage. Johansen passed to Umberger for a shot from a hard angle that handcuffed Backstrom, with Johansen then following the puck to get a whack at it on the rebound. Before the puck could be cleared, Foligno found the net on his second attempt from the right doorstep at the 5:40 mark. "We were able to maintain our energy and continue to push," Foligno said. "You saw great efforts from everybody tonight -- and Curtis McElhinney shut the door." The Wild had a prime chance to get back in the game when they had 1:13 of a 5-on-3 advantage midway through the second period. But McElhinney smothered a hard slap shot from the left point by Jason Pominville and then later appeared to stop a high shot by Zach Parise off his mask. "The big thing was that 5 on 3," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "That was a critical point of the game. Curtis made probably three great saves for us and our (penalty) killers did a great job." Columbus was still controlling the play early in the third when, on a 3-on-3 rush, Jenner wristed a shot from the top of the left circle that eluded Backstrom high on his glove side. The goal, at the 4:38 mark, was the rookies third of the season. Umberger closed the scoring at the 9:05 mark when, while trailing the play, he benefited from a nifty feed from Foligno. Foligno had only one defender to beat but instead whipped a blind pass to Umberger who had virtually an empty net. Notes: The Blue Jackets improved to 35-0 under Richards when leading after two periods. ... It was the Wilds third loss in a row on the road. ... Minnesota has been shut out in two of its past three games. Mark Recchi Penguins Jersey .ca!

The Crewe and Shrewsbury Railway was a railway company which was previously owned by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR), built to connect Crewe with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway which was jointly owned with GWR.

Authorised in 1853, planning difficulties accessing the GWR station at Shrewsbury delayed opening until 1858. Proving so successful for both companies to transport coal from the South Wales Valleys to industrial Northwest England, and finished goods in the opposite direction, it was doubled tracked by 1862.

Amalgamated into the London Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, post nationalisation into British Railways, its services reduced as motor transport proved quicker more cost effective than its various branch lines. It now forms the northern section of Network Rail's Welsh Marches Line.

Background

On 4 July 1837, the Grand Junction Railway opened, linking the four largest cities of England by joining the existing Liverpool and Manchester Railway with the projected London and Birmingham Railway. The line, which was the first long-distance railway in the world, ran from Curzon Street railway station in Birmingham to Dallam in Warrington, Cheshire, where it made an end-on junction with the Warrington and Newton Railway, a branch of the L&M. Conceived as a through route, the GJR was not interested in serving towns en route. Wolverhampton, for instance, was by-passed by half a mile because it did not lie on the intended route.

Having been turned down by Nantwich, a station was built in the township of Crewe which formed part of the ancient parish of Barthomley, on the junction of a turnpike road linking the Trent and Mersey and the Shropshire Union canals. As soon as the station opened it was seen to be at a useful point to begin a branch line to the county town of Chester, facilitated by the 1840 construction of the Chester and Crewe Railway, extended in 1841 to Holyhead to provide the fastest route to Ireland.

In 1845 the GJR merged with the L&B and L&M to form the London and North Western Railway Company, which until its demise in 1923 was the largest company in the world. The new company extended the Warrington line to Lancaster and Carlisle, the Manchester line to Leeds, and built a new line to Shrewsbury to join the now jointly financed with the GWR Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, which provided connections to South Wales.

Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway

In 1846 Parliament sanctioned an Act of Parliament allowing the new Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway. Built to standard gauge and engineered by Thomas Brassey, the line was to cover , following an approximate route of the valley of the River Wye.

At its southern end, it would connect the major market town of Hereford with the northern terminals the GWR's Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway and the LNWR's Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway, allowing access through to the coal fields and ports of South Wales. A joint Railway Fete occurred on 6 December 1853, when all five companies connecting Hereford ran their first official trains into the town.

At its northern end, the S&HR connected with the GWR's railways:
The Cambrian Line, for mid-Wales and Aberystwyth
The Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway for access to the Midlands
The Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, allowing a pan-Wales route from Cardiff to Holyhead

However, the major financial gain for both companies was the transport of coal from the South Wales Valleys to industrial Northwest England. At inception, the only way of this occurring was via the S&CR to Chester, so a more direct route was required.

Construction
The Act of Parliament to approve the Crewe and Shrewsbury Railway was approved in 1853. The House of Lords raised objections to the LNWR's proposed route into the GWR's Shrewsbury station, causing delays while alternative routes were considered.

After approval of a route, the LNWR contracted Joseph Locke and John Edward Errington as engineers, and Thomas Brassey as the civil engineering developer. The  route was constructed as a single track route, with the in-built option to increase to double track should traffic require. Completed at the budgeted cost of £10,000 per mile, the first train entered Shrewsbury station on 1 September 1858. It was thus the first railway in North Shropshire.

Operations
The immediate success of the route, particularly revenue from coal traffic, meant the line was authorised to be upgraded to double track, which was completed in 1862.

The line's success showed other operators the importance of access to Crewe, with the GWR sponsored Oswestry, Ellesmere and Whitchurch Railway (OE&WR) proposed in 1860. Following ferocious arguments between the LNWR and GWR, Parliament authorised building the line in August 1861.

The first phase was restricted to the Whitchurch-Ellesmere section, with the onward section to Oswestry held over for a year in case of new GWR route developments. Engineered by Robert and Benjamin Piercey, the civil engineering contractor was Thomas Savin.

Facilities at Whitchurch were expanded by the LNWR to allow for trains using the new line, with the stations staff numbers reaching over 100 between the two wars. Intermediate stations were built by the OE&WR at Fenn's Bank, Bettisfield and Welshampton. The first public passenger service left Ellesmere for Whitchurch on 4 May 1863, and construction of the Ellesmere-Oswestry section was completed one year later. The total cost of the line was £200,000.

Following further proposals of railways between Crewe and Chester, by 1864 four companies were operating between Whitchurch and Machynlleth:
OE&WR
Oswestry and Newtown Railway
Llanidloes and Newtown Railway
Newtown and Machynlleth Railway
In July 1864, the government approved a share holder request that they were amalgamated, granting an Act of Parliament to form the Cambrian Railways. The opening of a last section of line between Borth and Aberystwyth now enabled through trains to run from Whitchurch, a distance of .

In 1870 the LNWR proposed the Whitchurch and Tattenhall Railway to break the GWR's monopoly on the Shrewsbury to Chester route. Opened in October 1872, little consideration was given to route or revenue, resulting in consistently low traffic volumes and a lifelong record of annual losses.

The construction of a British Army World War I training camp at Prees Heath, resulted in the construction of a private  branch line, which left the mainline west between Whitchurch and Prees. Used to transport troops, supplies and equipment initially, the site developed as a hospital resulting in return dispersement trains.

In the 1923 Grouping of British railways, the GWR amalgamated with the Cambrian Railways, while the LNWR became part of the new London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS).

During World War II, Prees Heath was developed into a Royal Air Force airfield as RAF Tilstock, still with its own railway depot, barracks and hospital facilities. Despite this, the relatively rural and resultantly dark run of the combined S&HR and C&SR meant that the flow of coal to the industrial Northwest continued virtually unabated.

After the war, the newly nationalised British Railways suffered competition from new road transport competitors, assisted in their efforts by the Ministry of Defenceselling off cheaply former military trucks and coaches. This resulted in a closure of the many branch lines, many before the Beeching Axe of the 1960s, reducing the Whitchurch of today to little more than an unmanned halt.

Today
Presently, the line remains open from Shrewsbury to Crewe, the northernmost section of Network Rails Welsh Marches Line. New modular colour light signalling was installed along the line in 2013, with the surviving intermediate  manual signal boxes closed, level crossings automated and route supervision passing to the South Wales ROC in Cardiff.

Health Homes are paid on a Per Member Per Month (PMPM) basis for providing the 6 core services. The payment is made on a retrospective basis every quarter for each recipient who is provided a core service during the quarter. Each recipient is placed in one of 4 Tiers using the Chronic Illness and Disability Payment System (CDPS). Each Tier for each type of Health Home has a different PMPM payment as outlined below.
Health Home services will be provided by Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) and Primary Care Providers (PCP). The agency's rates were set on April 1, 2018 and are effective for services on or after that date. The state developed fee schedules are the same for both governmental and private providers.


DeBows had its beginnings in 1867. It was then known as the DeBows Methodist Episcopal Sabbath School. Although not an official church, Christian education classes and worship were held in a small schoolhouse near the site of the present church.In 1896, DeBows officially became a Methodist Episcopal Church. Two parcels of land were purchased at the current location and a new church building was erected.
DeBows grew steadily in the coming years. This growth was both physical and spiritual and was fueled by the congregation being active in doing God's work. In 1956 the church building was moved back from an increasingly traveled road and relocated over a full basement and expanded to include classrooms, offices, and a fellowship hall with a full kitchen.
In April 1963 a forest fire swept through Jackson and completely destroyed the fellowship hall. Undeterred, DeBows congregation made immediate plans to rebuild the hall and add modern facilities. The hall was then used to host frequent church dinners, which helped to quickly pay off the mortgage for the new hall.
On April 23, 1968, The United Methodist Church was formed when The Evangelical United Brethren Church and The Methodist Church merged. Since then the church has been named DeBows United Methodist Church.
Between now and then, the church has continued to be a beacon of God's love. DeBows UMC recently celebrated over 120 years of serving God in our community.

For decades, Hoover Dam was the top tourist destination in Southern Nevada, attracting more than one million visitors every year. Hailed upon completion as "the Eighth Wonder of the World," the dam stands 736 feet high, 1,244 feet wide at its crest, and is 660 feet thick at its base. There's enough concrete in its structure to pave a highway across the continental United States.
The Museum's three-dimensional, interactive displays and exhibits describe the great social and economic forces surrounding the 1929 Stock Market Crash and Depression that drove thousands of unemployed citizens from their homes into the isolation of the Nevada desert where the Boulder Canyon Project was one of the few places in the United States where men could find work.
Photographs, artifacts, oral histories, and the sounds of Hoover Dam construction ringing off the walls of Black Canyon provide a sense of the complexity, danger, and immense scale of the construction project, as well as a picture of ordinary life in an extraordinary time and place.
Listen as these pioneers tell about their lives in Boulder City and down at the Hoover Dam construction site in the desperate years of the early 1930s.

        exit(0);
    }
    else
    {

        while(1)
        {
            printf("server accept from client\n");

            ret=recvfrom(sd1,(char *)bufptr,strlen(buffer),0,(struct sockaddr *)&clientaddr,&clen);

            //printf("hello\n");
            if(ret<0)

                perror("recvfrom");
                exit(0);
            }
            else
            {
                printf("UDP Server received the following:\n \"%s\" message\n", bufptr);
            }
            //close(sd1);
        }
    }

    close(sd1);
    return 0;
}

I am sending tht buffer from client side... and in server side it is giving me an error like this....
Bad file descriptor .... what should I do...
I also changed the name of file descriptor 2 times... still it is not working...

A: Your recvfrom is bad.  Instead of strlen(buffer), you should use sizeof(buffer).  Since buffer is on the stack, you may have a large string in there and then you are overflowing the buffer if the recvfrom gets a large amount of data.
I will studying it up some more if that doesn't help.

A: The problem is in your call to recvfrom:
ret=recvfrom(sd1,(char *)bufptr,strlen(buffer),0,(struct sockaddr *)&clientaddr,&clen);

The third parameter should be the size of the input buffer.  But instead, you're calling strlen on the buffer.  Because buffer is uninitialized, calling strlen on it is reading uninitialized data which can cause undefined behavior.
Also, unless the client is sending a null terminated string (i.e. some printer characters followed by a null byte) the call to printf will also invoke undefined behavior since any bytes past what was read will be uninitialized.
Pass in the buffer size minus 1 (to leave space for a null byte) instead of calling strlen, and clear the buffer just beforehand.
memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
ret=recvfrom(sd1,(char *)bufptr,sizeof(buffer)-1,0,(struct sockaddr *)&clientaddr,&clen);

A: I think you are closing the socket some where else in your program.
The Bad file descriptor may refer to an invalid file descriptor or it is closed somewhere else in your code or it is already being used somewhere else. I think you need to debug your code a little bit and then manage your socket well.
It is possible that your socket is being closed somewhere by mistake or being corrupted.
You can try creating the new socket as well with different port number.

Concrete Steps and Stone Walls: Front Porch Restoration
by Christopher Hewett, PMP | Aug 5, 2018 | Cement Steps, Stone & Masonry, Historic Preservation | 4 comments
Concrete Steps and Stone Walls
The topic is concrete steps and stone (wing) wall restoration for your Old House, so don't miss these 12 vital steps to cement your porch restoration success! Read on to learn more…
Ok, now usually when we think of concrete steps and stone, we just assume that it is pretty much indestructible and will last forever, right? No historic preservation needed here, right? Well, in many circumstances, this does not seem to be the case, as evidenced by our crumbling concrete steps, and the mysterious disappearance of our granite stone (wing) walls, topped with concrete caps.
Additionally, I'm almost certain that concrete formulas have changed since 1927! As seen below, how often do you see newer concrete last 91 years in a northern, snow, salt filled sidewalk environment? I'd love to hear your thoughts/explanations for this!
Concrete sidewalk section still perfect after 91 years!
In keeping with our whole house restoration, the goal is to return the porch to its original configuration, which includes the concrete steps and granite stone (wing) walls, with concrete caps.
Additionally, this restoration was really made complete, when I scored some granite from a home being demolished nearby. This granite an exact match to our porch stone!
c.1920. Ann Arbor Stonemasons – George Eberwein / Chris Seeger
Our house (The Eiting House) was originally built in 1890. It likely had a wooden porch as part of the original configuration. However, as evidenced in the basement, and from other granite porches in the neighborhood, we have traced this particular stonemason (signature flower pattern) to around 1920-25. This is when our second story addition, new coal chamber (under the current porch), and granite/concrete porch was added.
Not everything was built "better" in the Old Days. They weren't? Nope! So, as a result of the original footings being grossly inadequate (too shallow at 21 inches and built of scrap stone and asphalt), we have to completely start over and reconstruct everything from the ground up – literally! Ugh!!! Demo and removal of original footing, foundation, and pre-cast concrete steps.
So stay tuned, as the fun is about to begin – How to rebuild front porch steps!
12 Step Restoration: Concrete Steps and Stone Walls
Demolition and Removal of the Precast Concrete Steps. Precast, by nature, don't last as long as "poured" concrete, and they just don't hold up as well, so I try to stay away from precast. Read more on precast steps HERE.
Verify Proper Foundation and Footing. Dig down beside the existing footing (post hole diggers usually do the trick). Due to the weight, city building codes require the same footing/foundation as your house sits on. In our case (Michigan) 42 inches down, below freeze/thaw line.
Remove Old Foundation / Dig New Footing to Code (42 inches deep in MI). If required, remove inadequate footing and dig deeper. Refer back to Step 2. We elected to dig a three sided foundation to support all sides of the structure. Read more on footings for poured walls HERE.
Pour New Footing for the Porch Steps Foundation. Minimum 12 inches wide by 12 inches deep.
Build Up, and Out of the Footing to Grade. On top of the poured concrete footing, build up to grade with cement block and a solid block on top, to cap it.
Back-fill, Level the Area, and Prep for Poured Pad. Now the area is built back to grade, we prep for the concrete pad to be poured on top. This provides a level surface for the poured concrete steps to sit on.
Set up Concrete Pad Forms and Rebar. Form the pad with 2x6s and install rebar for structural support. NOTE: 1) Rebar is primed to prevent rust, which will cause future concrete failure (spalling/cracking)! 2) Rebar is anchored back into the stone (drill holes).
Pour the Concrete and Finish the Concrete Pad.
Select Stone and Rebuild the Stone (wing) Walls.
Form Up and Pour the Top Caps. Pour the caps in place, on top of the stone walls. NOTE: Seal up any open gaps (duct tape, foam board, lead strips, etc) on the underside of the forms – between the stone and wood forms, so concrete doesn't leak out.
Form Up the Steps and Prep for Concrete Pour. NOTE: City code calls out a min and max for stair treads (rise and run). Rise: 8 ¼" max. Run: 10" min – Ann Arbor. Make sure you are compliant. Check local codes!
Bullnose detail. As you can tell by our top step, the original profile was a bullnose vs the standard squared off edge. This looks a lot nicer, and adds to the overall house character and charm. If your contractor doesn't have the forms to do this. Use a 2×8 (notched) and some PVC (split). Just make sure to lubricate the surface, so the bullnose doesn't pull off with the form – this DID happened to us!!!
Pour the Concrete Steps and Finish. Pour the steps, allow the concrete to initially set, then remove form boards before full cure to finish/blend the corners.
Things weren't always built "better" in the past, as evidenced by the existing foundation (only 21 inches). This allowed the entire structure to degrade and fail over time. But, with the detailed steps taken here, it will ensure that this new, and improved structure should stand the test of time…and hopefully another 100 years. All in all, it looks a bit nicer now, and has returned to its original configuration and appearance!
Best of luck on your concrete steps, stone (wing) wall, and porch restoration!
