Here are eight practice problems involving circles. The difficulty of these problems ranges from medium to very challenging.
1) In the diagram above, O is the center of the circle and angle AOB = 144º. What is the area of the circle?
2) In the diagram above, ABC is an equilateral triangle. D is the midpoint of AC. BD is a diameter of the circle. If AD = 4, what is the area of the circle?
3) In the diagram above, O is the center of the circle. What is the length of chord AC?
4) Points P, Q, R, S, and T all lie on the same line. The larger circle has center S and passes through P and T. The smaller circle has center R and passes through Q and S. What is the ratio of the area of the larger circle to the area of the smaller circle?
5) A square and a circle intersect at more than one point. Does the square have more area than the circle?
6) In the diagram above, all the points are on a line, and the number of each point indicates how many units that point is from zero. The points #1 – #6 are the centers of the six circles, and all circles pass through point zero. What is the total area of the shaded region?
7) In the diagram above, JKL is an equilateral triangle. Point M is the midpoint of segment JL, and M is the center of a circle that passes through points J and L. The shaded regions in the diagram indicate all the regions inside the circle that are outside the triangle. What fraction of the total area of the circle is outside the triangle?
8) In the diagram above, angle C = 90º and AC = BC. Point M is the midpoint of AB. Arc AXB has its center at C, and passes through A and B. Arc AYB has its center at M and passes through A and B. The shaded region between the two arcs is called a "lune." What is the ratio of the area of the lune to the area of triangle ABC?
If you have any insights while reading those blogs, you may want to give the problems above a second look. If you find any typos or anything on this page is unclear, please let us know in the comments section.
This angle is 2/5 of the whole circle, so the arc is 2/5 of the whole circumference. Also, remember that if we can find anything about the whole circle, for example, the circumference, then we can find the radius, which would allow us to find the area.
Statement #1: This is a tautological statement. A tautological statement is a statement that, by definition, has to be true, and because of this, it contains no information. Statements such as "My car is a car" and "My employer employs me" are verbal tautologies: they contain no useful information. Much in the same way, we already know from the prompt that the angle takes up 2/5 of the circle, so of course the sector would take up 2/5, or 40%, of the area. This statement repeats information in the prompt, and contains no new information, so it doesn't help us at all to figure out anything else. This statement, alone and by itself, is not sufficient.
Statement #2: We already know this arc is 2/5 of the whole circumference, so we could set up a proportion to find the circumference. From that, we could find the radius, and that would allow us to find the area. This statement, alone and by itself, is sufficient.
3) The fact that AB is a diameter guarantees that angle C = 90º. If we had two sides of right triangle ABC, we could find the third using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Statement #1: this gives us only one side of a right triangle: not helpful. This statement, alone and by itself, is not sufficient.
Statement #2: this allows us to solve for the radius and, hence, the diameter, so we can determine side AB. Nevertheless, this gives us only one side of a right triangle: also not helpful. This statement, alone and by itself, is not sufficient.
Combined statements: We get the length of BC from the first statement, and the length of AB from the second. Now, we have two sides of the right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the third side, AC. Combined, the statements are sufficient.
would cancel and we would be left with the ratio (y/x) squared. If we could solve for this simpler ratio, y/x, then we could find the ratio of areas.
This allows us to solve for the ratio y/x, which would allow us to find the ratio of areas. This statement, alone and by itself, is sufficient.
5) Statement #1: this information, with nothing more, could mean that the circle is either smaller or larger.
This statement, alone and by itself, is insufficient.
Statement #2: this information, with nothing more, could mean that the circle is either smaller or larger.
That circle is clearly bigger than the square. The circle absolutely cannot pass through exactly three vertices. If it pass through two vertices, it would have to intersect the side two more times. Possibilities include the following (point C is the center of the circle).
Notice that, as point C approaches the top side of the square, it gets closer and closer to the circle that has this top side as a diameter, equivalent to the first circle in the statement #1 diagram. That circle is clearly has less area than the square. Well, that circle won't work here, because it intersects at only two points, but because point C could get closer and closer to the top side without touching it, which means the area of the circle in this diagram could get closer and closer to the area of the first circle in the statement #1 diagram. This means that we could make the circle in this diagram have less area than the square has.
Thus, even with the constraints of both statements, we can construct a circle that has an area that is either greater than or less than that of the square. Even with both statements, we cannot give a definitive answer to the prompt question. Both statements combined are insufficient.
. That's the denominator of our ratio.
. That's the easy part.
The circle intersections sides JK and KL: call these points A & B.
The angle at M is 60º, so this is one sixth of the area of the circle.
To get the area of that small shaded part, known as a circular segment, we need to subtract the area of equilateral triangle JAM from the area of the sector. See this blog for the area of an equilateral triangle.
8) This problem is based on a famous theorem of Hippocrates of Chios (c. 470 – c. 410 BCE), a predecessor of Euclid. The easiest way to see this is as follows.
. Thus, the quarter circle of the larger circle and semicircle of the smaller circle have the same area. That's a very big idea!
We don't need to know that area: simply call it J.
Because those two areas equal the same thing, they must equal each other.
This doesn't appear to be a Magoosh question or an Official GMAT question, but please let me know if I'm mistaken! Unfortunately, we aren't able to answer questions from outside sources. We are a test prep program and must prioritize our materials and Official GMAT materials. Thanks for your understanding!
My friend, there's a tiny flaw in your work. It's true that the larger circle (center C, radius AC) has a total area of (pi), and therefore a quarter of it has an area of [(pi/4]. On that, we agree. Now, consider the whole circle with center M and radius AM: its area is (pi)/2, which you calculated correctly, but you misinterpreted this as the area of the total circle, not the semicircle. You have to divide by 2 to get the semicircle: (pi)/4, which is equal the area of the larger quarter circle. That's why you wound up with a 2:1 ratio — you were comparing the whole of the smaller circle to a quarter of the larger circle, and that indeed would be a 2:1 ratio. The semicircle of the smaller circle to the quarter of the larger circle is the 1:1 ratio that's germane to this solution.
The blog not only brings out some of the very important properties of Circle but also provides a good guidance on the topic, Undoubtedly, questions on this simplest closed curve appear complex in the test, especially, when other figures are added to it. I find that each questions digs deep into some of the logical relations that exist between circle and other regular figures such as square, equilateral and right angle triangle.
Thanks a lot- these questions are fabulous.
You are quite welcome, my friend. 🙂 Thank you for your kind words. Best of luck to you!
In the question 3, why can we assume that AB is a diameter? We do not have this information in the diagram nor in the text in statements A and B. Visually it seems that AB is a diameter, but I read in other post named ""DRAWN AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE" that we cannot assume facts like these.
In case we cannot guarantee that AB is a diameter, the correct answer would be E because A or B are not vertices of a right triangle, and then we cannot calculate the length of chord AC.
Please, could you clarify this point?
That's a great question. 🙂 In #3, we are told explicitly that O is the center of the circle, and any chord that passes through the center is a diameter. One thing you always can assume from a diagram is "straightness" — if a line from A to O to B looks straight, it is. Yes, it's true we could draw a 179.9° angle there, it it would visually "look" straight, but the test is not going to do that to you. You absolutely can assume that lines are straight if they appear straight. If points A & O & B appear collinear, then they are.
We can't assume parallel. We can't assume that something that looks perpendicular is. But we can assume that something that looks straight is.
That is perfect Mike! Thank you very much for the clarification!
You are quite welcome! Best of luck to you!
in the first question, on what basis do we assume that arc ACB corresponds to angle AOB? Since this is a DS question (and the figure need not adhere to the 2 conditions) couldn't arc ACB also be the longer arc of the circle?
I'm happy to help. 🙂 On GMAT DS, it's true, we can't assume, for example, that lines are parallel or perpendicular — anything in which it could be a degree or two off and look right and be close but be not exact. We can assume, though, fundamental topological qualities such as "betweenness." From the diagram, we absolutely know that points A & B & C are on the circle, and we absolutely know that C is between A & B on the smaller arc.
For problem 7, how did you conclude that "Point A must be the midpoint of JK, and point B, the midpoint of KL"?
The angle at J is 60, because it's part of the larger equilateral triangle, JKL. The Isosceles Triangle Theorem tells us that the angle at A must be equal — that angle also must be 60. Well, if two of the angles in a triangle are 60, the third must be 60 as well. This means that JAM is an equilateral triangle. Since JM is obviously half the length of JL, it means that AJ must be half the length of JK. Does all this make sense?


After various attempts/experiments to accomplish this project, I have to reorganize the information in the main article and make some remarks.
The purpose of this project is to develop a complex MIDI controller, with multiple configuration possibilities (peripherals, input and output).
For example, it will use the 16/36 … 64 or more potentiometers, encoders and buttons simultaneously.
During this work I met various problems that have made some initial estimates to be corrected.
Although initial experiments have shown that I can use different types of inputs with a single microcontroller, when I tried to increase the their number have shown the need to build more smart modules, each with specialized roles.
The biggest problems occurred in an attempt to use more rotary encoders. For this type of input we initially estimated that can be used another AVR microcontroller that is responsible for managing the low level inputs.Although I have tried many techniques and libraries available, tests have shown that it can't reach enough reading speed (considering that the result of these readings should be forwarded to the main module). Details of these attempts are detailed in the article "Rotary Encoders Experiments".
I also realized that giving up rotary encoders we can make a MIDI controller that is made easier, cheaper and still retain the original features of the project. This project will be developed separately and will be detailed in article Simple USB Arduino MIDI Controller.
The first version of the article, including the first tests with an experimental setup has been moved here. Arduino Midi Controller – early stage.
Because the main microcontroller must receive values from other modules(and react to them) as soon as possible, we need more external interrupts than is available on ATmega32 .
This project is under develompent. We work at it every day. You can expect updates every 2-3 days. (on this article and/or subprojects).

Camino: The trip of a lifetime
Saturday, June 08, 2019 - 01:37 PM
It has never been easier to plan a walk of The Camino where you can travel through breathtaking sites and sleep in luxury, writes Ciara McDonnell
Whenever someone tells me that they are taking to The Camino, Cheryl Strayed's memoir Wild: From Lost To Found on the Pacific Crest Trail immediately springs to mind. I think of Reese Witherspoon — who played Strayed in the screen adaptation — taking on her own personal demons while hiking in paradise. It has always seemed to me like quite a good idea.
While there's no doubt that lots of people make their pilgrimage along a stretch of Camino in order to find inner peace, the motivation of travellers has changed in recent times, with Irish people taking to the trail with a vigour not seen before.
The demographics of pilgrims are as diverse as the trails themselves; walkers range from those with religious intentions to groups of young parents who need a week to unplug from the relentless demands of work and home life.
Last year, 7,548 Irish people got their Camino 'Compostela' certificate, according to statistics from the Pilgrims Office in Santiago.
The most popular route of Brand Camino remains the Camino de Santiago, and of that, the Camino Frances is the road most travelled. One of the most fascinating and lesser known trails is the Camino to Rome or Via Francigena; a route which takes pilgrims on a journey from Canterbury in England across the channel to France and through Switzerland before crossing Italy on their way to Rome. Like the Camino de Santiago, this is a historic medieval route and takes walkers to some of Europe's most stunning regions like Champagne in France, the Alps and Tuscany.
Getting immersed in an ocean of serenity in West Cork
The trail is a relatively new addition offered by Caminoways.com, a company specialising in trips that take the hassle out of the Camino. "Our aim is to make the trips as easy and manageable as possible for our customers," explains Maria Golpe from Camino Ways.
We move the luggage from one stage to the next, which means you only have to walk with your water and your snacks for the day.
"We want you to be able to enjoy the walk without worrying about these things." The holiday focuses on the section of the Via Francigena between Lucca and Siena, one of the most popular and spectacular stretches of the Camino to Rome. The pilgrimage is 133km long, and you will walk around 25km per day. Travellers can choose either a self-guided tour, which we are recommended to travel between April and October, or a guided tour, which departs on specific dates in May and September for six days.
The type of holiday you choose depends on what you require from your trip on the Camino, says Maria Golpe. "A self-guided trip allows more flexibility for the traveller, because you can go with a friend or a group or even on your own and you can choose your dates. We will then adapt the package to the dates you want to go." Guided holidays are a wonderful option for first-time Camino pilgrims, according to Maria. "Guided trips suit those who may be a little apprehensive about the trip or are going on their own but don't necessarily want to walk on their own. Some people like travelling on their own, but don't like spending the days on their own."
Of course, the great thing about booking a holiday like this through a company like Camino Ways is that you lay the ground rules for your own trip. Don't fancy walking 25km a day? No problem, your trip will be tailored to take in less distance, and more down time. Want to stay in super luxurious hotels? Worry not, you can choose a package that will ensure accommodation at the top end of the scale.
Accommodation really matters when you've been walking all day, and all the hotels, farm houses and B&B's along the Camino have been chosen with comfort in mind. Tuscany is an area of agri-tourism, and lots of farmers also offer accommodation, meaning that after a good night's sleep, you could have the opportunity to sample some of the region's finest olive oil or cheese.
The Lucca to Siena stretch is a wonderful introduction to the world of the Camino, says Golpe. "You will not come across as many pilgrims on the Tuscany route as the others, because it is not as widely known, and it is absolutely stunning."
Love Island: 6 reasons to embrace your inner Islander and visit Mallorca
You'll be walking through the heart of Tuscany, across beautiful rolling hills and woodland, stopping in picture perfect villages and towns to refuel and rest before taking off again.
You'll explore the tiny walled hilltop town of Monteriggioni and two impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The breathtaking town of San Gimignano, where in its medieval heyday, the rich families of the moment constructed 72 tower houses as a way of displaying how wealthy and brilliant they were. While only 14 of these medieval skyscrapers remain, San Gimignano is a must-visit — it is also famous for a delicious white wine called Vernaccia di San Gimignano, which offers a wonderful way to relax after hiking.
San Gimignano Towers. The breathtaking town of San Gimignano is a must-visit — famous for a delicious white wine called Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
A UNESCO listed city, and Italy's third greatest draw for tourists, Siena is a fantastic place to end your journey on the Camino. Famed for its gothic architecture, narrow streets and the spectacular Palio horse race each summer in the iconic Piazza del Campo, this is a city you will want to explore, despite your tired feet. Whether you are interested in travelling through the summer months to enjoy the full bloom of the Tuscan countryside, or choose autumn as a time to visit so that you can sample some of the region's famous white truffles, walking the Via Francigena is a chance to explore an area that is so arresting, the only way to truly absorb it's impact is on foot. Whether it's a guided tour or a self-guided adventure you crave, you'll have the chance to go Wild like Cheryl Strayed and contemplate your life while walking — the only difference, is that you'll do it in the heavenly surroundings of the Italian countryside.
A seven night self guided walking holiday from Lucca to Siena with Camino Ways costs from €750 per person. The trip includes Holiday Pack and maps, selected accommodation with private bathroom, 24/7 support during your trip and GPS data files. You will also have the option to add or remove the Luggage transfers (one bag up to 20kg per person), dinners (where available), bike rental and airport transfers.
A six night guided walking holiday from San Miniato to Siena departs on May 18 and September 14 and costs from €750 per person. The trip includes luggage transfers (one bag up to 20kg per person), dinner each night, friendly English speaking guide, holiday pack and maps, all en-suite rooms, 24/7 support during your trip and GPS data files.

Gerry Anderson's UFO (ITC 1969-1970). Series Introduction
August 30, 2014 October 11, 2014 archivetvmusings UFOgerry anderson, ufo
Gerry Anderson's first foray into television live action drama was this fondly remembered series, created by Gerry & Sylvia Anderson and Reg Hill.
UFO is set some ten years in the future and depicts a world coming under increasing attack from a mysterious race of aliens. In the opening episode we learn that they are harvesting organs from their human victims although their ultimate aims remain nebulous.
In order to combat this threat, a secret global organisation called SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) is established. SHADO has various bases but the key one is located underneath the Harlington-Straker film studios in the UK.
SHADO's commander is Ed Straker (Ed Bishop) who juggles a public job as chief executive of the film studio whilst in private he leads SHADO's continuing battle against the alien menace.
His second-in-command is Colonel Alec Freeman (George Sewell) whilst Colonel Paul Foster (Michael Billington) is a new recruit introduced in the fourth episode Exposed.
L-R Ed Straker (Ed Bishop), Paul Foster (Michael Billington) and Alec Freeman (George Sewell)
Incoming UFO's are initially tracked by supercomputer SID (Space Intruder Detector). The forward line of defence is launched from Moonbase, which has three Interceptor spacecraft fitted with nuclear warheads. The Moonbase operations are co-ordinated by Lt Gay Ellis (Gabrielle Drake), Lt Joan Harrington (Antonia Ellis) and Lt Nina Barry (Dolores Mantez) amongst others.
L-R Nina Barry (Dolores Mantez), Joan Harrington (Antonia Ellis) and Gay Ellis (Gabrielle Drake)
If the UFOs manage to evade the Interceptors and penetrate the Earths atmosphere then SHADO calls upon various other forms of defence, including the submarine Skydiver which can launch the interceptor aircraft Sky One, whilst Mobile land vehicles can also be called upon if the UFO has made a successful landing.
Although Gerry Anderson had, until this time, been responsible for a series of successful children's Supermarionation series (Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet) UFO was very much a move into a more adult form of storytelling, despite the fact that visually it had much in common with his Supermarionation series.
As with those series, special effects were supervised by Derek Meddings whilst the various vehicles were designed by Meddings along with his assistant Michael Trim. The model-work and effects were the clearest links to the previous Anderson shows, but the story content was much darker (although elements of Captain Scarlet had probably begun this process).
The concept of human beings being forcibly used as organ donors is a fairly horrifying concept whilst later episodes such as The Long Sleep and Timelash are notable examples of stories that delve a little deeper than many sci-fi series of the same period. Timelash, for example, sees Straker inject himself with a drug (X 50 stimulant) in order to stay awake during the mysterious time freeze with the result that it's not clear what part of the story actually happened and what may be a result of his drug-induced dreams.
A UFO in the woods
Elsewhere in the series there was more emphasis placed on human relationships than was often seen in science fiction programmes of the time. Although it may seem somewhat stilted and naive today, the interracial relationship in The Computer Affair was noteworthy at the time of its original broadcast whilst several episodes (Confetti Check A-OK and A Question of Priorities) show exactly how Straker is unable to juggle the demands of his secret job and his family life.
Whilst these, and other examples are laudable, it's undeniable that UFO's sexual politics were fairly underdeveloped as very often women are simply used as eye-candy, which can be either amusing (particularly Alec Freeman's various toe-curling chat up lines) or irritating, depending on your point of view.
Totally gratuitous eye-candy. Sorry.
But while parts of the series have badly dated (and the mystery of the purple wigs was never explained) there is much to enjoy across the 26 episodes of UFO. So as I begin a rewatch of the series, I'll blog a short review of every story which will hopefully capture some of the key points of each episode.

Who is the blonde actress in the picture that you have labeled with the caption, "Totally gratuitous eye candy,…"

Good question! Presumably an extra, if I discover her name I'll post it here.
Romeo52 says:
Anouska Hempel
Jeffrey J Nelson says:
Actually, I believe that is actress Diana Reeves, who was never seen in the series, her part either being cut, or this was just a publicity photo for the series. And yes, Anouska Hempel does appear in the series.
maddylovesherclassicfilms says:
LOVE this series. I've never been a fan of the puppet series, but I really love the mix of live action and model shots in this Anderson series. The title sequence and theme tune are awesome. Would love to learn the reason why the moonbase personal had purple wigs though LOL.
Daniel Jude Gennis says:
The purple wigs were part of the uniform. Back in the 1960s (and 70s for that matter,) wigs were worn by women sometimes as a fashion statement. I think Sylvia Anderson surmised, given the fashion trend at the time of production, the wearing of wigs in the near future would play a bigger part in the dress and fashion sense of women.
Another factor may have been wearing wigs as part of the female uniforms on Moonbase would have protected them from radiation, preventing hair loss among female personnel. The latter pure speculation on my part, given male personnel wore no kind of head gear nor wigs. But then Central Command was manned my females and never seemed totally secure from what lay outside.
I pretty much agree with your overview of UFO. My first exposure to Science Fiction was via Gerry Anderson in the mid to late 1960s through the puppet shows he produced. The only other exception was Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Land of the Giants but Gerry got there first. Despite that, UFO was probably the live action sci-fi series where I begin to think about Science Fiction a little deeper.
UFO would have been the logical show to what because the same vehicles, the space ships would not have been out of place in his other shows. In fact UFO came after Gerry's live action movie ' Journey to the Far Side of the Sun' or 'Dopplegander' as it is now commonly known now. That is quite clear when you see the Movie.
Even though I was aware of Star Trek at the time, that was a Show I would not begin watching until three years after UFO was originally broadcast.

The Memphis Grizzlies are in talks with the former Knicks center Joakim Noah about a potential contract, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
There have been "extensive discussions" between the Grizzlies and Noah's representatives about a deal that would bring the former All-Star back into the league, according to the people, who were not authorized to discuss the situation publicly.
Noah last played Jan. 23, for less than 5 minutes in a road loss to the Warriors, and essentially parted ways with the Knicks in February after he and then-Knicks Coach Jeff Hornacek had to be separated during a practice session in Denver.
The Knicks ultimately waived Noah in October after trying to trade him for months. At the time of his release, Noah still had two full seasons left on the original four-year, $72 million contract he received in the summer of 2016 from Phil Jackson, then the Knicks' team president.
Noah turns 34 in February and has struggled to approach his two-time All-Star form thanks in part to a string of injuries. He has not played in more than 46 games since the 2014-15 season, when he was with the Bulls.
The Grizzlies' interest stems from a desire to provide some frontcourt depth behind another former All-Star in Marc Gasol, who is having a resurgent season for Memphis.
Gasol is averaging 16.8 points and 9.3 rebounds in 34.2 minutes per game for the surprising Grizzlies, who are off to a 10-5 start. Memphis slumped to a 22-60 record last season when the veteran guard Mike Conley was only healthy enough to play in 12 games.
The Knicks released Noah when they did, using what is known as the stretch provision, to reduce the $19.3 million salary cap hit they were scheduled to incur next season because of his contract. Knicks officials hope the move will give them additional salary-cap space next summer for their pursuit of top-tier free agents such as Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Noah's first season in New York was marred by a knee injury in February 2017 that required surgery, followed by a 20-game suspension for violating the league's antidrug policy.

Efrat, the Cemetery
Yevgeny Aharonovich
In March 2005, a salvage excavation was conducted c. 800 m southeast of Efrat (Judea and Samaria License No. 1033; map ref. 215120/617149; Fig. 1), prior to the establishment of a regional cemetery. The excavation, on behalf of the Archaeological Staff Officer of Judea and Samaria, was directed by E. Aharonovich, with the assistance of S. Batz (preliminary survey), P. Portonov (surveying), A. Harel (plans), H. Bitan (preparation of maps) and M. Manukian (drawing of finds).
The excavation site is located in the Judean hills, on an exposed hilltop (c. 900 m asl) delimited on the east and south by tributaries of Nahal 'Arugot. A cairn (L100) and a cave (L200) were excavated, two field walls were documented and four stone clearance heaps were examined (Fig. 2). Datable finds, ascribed to either the Iron Age III or the Persian period, were discovered only in the cairn.
Cairn 100 (diam. 3.6 m; Fig. 3). The cairn was constructed without an outer perimeter wall. Within it was a rectangular burial cell (L101; 0.55 × 1.15 m) built on a fill of fieldstone and covered with another layer of fieldstones. Although the cell was devoid of finds, its dimensions seem to indicate it served for the burial of a child. A few pottery sherds, including a bowl and a base of a bowl, were found in the stone fill that was excavated around the burial cell. The bowl, which has a short, flat rim and a carinated body, is made of well-fired levigated clay and is decorated on the inside with reddish-brown and black stripes (Fig. 4:1). It belongs to a group of imported bowls adorned with painted strips (Banded Bowls) that is part of a larger repertoire known as Decorated Eastern-Greek and Cypriot Pottery, and are found at sites along the coastal plain. They first appeared in the late seventh–early sixth centuries BCE (Mezad Hashavyahu: Fantalkin 2001:74–75, Fig. 28:6 *), but were mainly prevalent in the Persian period (Tel Mikhal: Kapitaikin 2006:45, Fig. 12:9, 11, 12). These bowls have a typical ring base similar to the one discovered in the excavation (Fig. 4:2).
Cave 200 (3 × 3 m, height 1.1 m; Fig. 5) was a natural cave that was reached by way of two roughly hewn steps. Three non-diagnostic pottery sherds, with ribbing typical of the Early Roman or later periods, were discovered at the entrance to the cave. The cave's interior was completely excavated, but no finds were discovered. The cave was probably used for brief periods of habitation or storage.
Cairns similar to Cairn 100 were excavated on the southern fringes of the Judean Hills at Sansanna (Batz and Greenfeld 2009:188–191) and Tene 'Omarim (Batz 2009:214–216), where they were dated to the Iron Age III. The cairns reflect the gradual infiltration of nomadic and semi-nomadic groups into areas that were devoid of permanent residents following Sennacherib's campaign in 701 BCE (Batz 2006:71). This new population buried their dead in cairns, whose locations were selected at random. Thus, Cairn 100 should be added to the group of cairns excavated in the southern Hebron hills, indicating that their distribution extended to the north.
The absence of any diagnostic finds associated with the cave, the field walls and the stone clearance heaps that were documented, precluded any precise dating.

Words of wisdom: Another look in the mirror
Francis Moran
@FrancisMoran
Published: May 6th, 2011
By Francis Moran and Leo Valiquette
As we have said before, entrepreneurs must have a vision that will stretch the boundaries of what they know and challenge what they believe is attainable. They must be willing to seek the outside counsel and feedback that will reveal the weaknesses in themselves, their teams, their technology and their paths to market.
It's difficult to overcome a weakness if you haven't recognized and acknowledged it.
We conclude our Words of Wisdom string today by looking once again at the human factor and the right stuff that individual entrepreneurs and management teams need to succeed. There is no denying that the greatness of an organization is defined by its people. But how do you ensure that you are making the right hires?
Hire good people
In his book, Making Technology Happen, Doyletech's Denzil Doyle talks at length about proven practices and processes for getting technology to market. However, he also urges that thought be given to the people part of the equation.
Hiring people "is the mistake that virtually everyone makes (by) not taking the time to do it right," he writes. On the other hand, "most presidents and managers make the hiring process too complex."
In Doyle's view, the "right hire," in addition to obvious role-related skills and experience, has:
A high energy level
A high mental capacity
An abundance of common sense
An ability to communicate
What's his advice to make the hiring process less painful and more streamlined? Draw up a list of the functions required for a given role. Then rate the candidate's ability to perform each function against each of the four variables above, say, on a scale of one to 10.
"A candidate who does not rate a decent score in a very large percentage of the intersections between the job functions and the four essential ingredients is likely not the person for the job," Doyle writes. "The same is true if scores are notably lower in one or more of the four columns even though one of them might have exceptional ratings."
Here's an exercise in devil's advocacy for you: carry out this process on your existing team of company founders and executives. It might be painful, but it may reveal weaknesses that are best dealt with sooner rather than later.
How 'round' are you?
Andrew Fisher, executive VP at Wesley Clover, has worked with entrepreneurs of all stripes, including those who are trying to make the often-painful transition from simply developing technology to mastering the sales and marketing skills needed to commercialize it.
For him, it is a balance between basic skills, such as strong written and oral communications, and personality. He always looks for people who are well-rounded and possess those characteristics that have been collectively referred to by others, such as Daniel Goleman, as emotional intelligence. This is a measure of one's self confidence, self-awareness and ability to navigate periods of stress and emotional turmoil, all of which has a direct bearing on one's likelihood of achieving business success.
"You have to be a well-centred individual," Fisher said. "If I am a highly insecure individual and I need you to stroke my ego, then that's likely going to cause all kinds of problems downstream. I'm not saying those people don't become successful business people … but nine times out of 10, people who are not centred in their own personality create all sorts of wasted baggage."
This ability to communicate and present well is also important to Ronald Weissman, chair of the Software Special Industry Group at Band of Angels, when he is looking at a startup.
"In today's climate, when companies actually try not to buy from startups, you have RISK painted on your forehead," he said. "It's tough to go it alone and establish credibility. A big part of my evaluation of a startup is if the management team is capable of establishing partnerships with larger companies who can achieve market penetration."
At the coal face
It should come as no surprise that work ethic also ranked high on the list for Fisher and others.
"The harder I work, the luckier I get." For Iain Klugman, CEO of Communitech, this marks the "let's get it done" attitude that characterizes an entrepreneur with the right stuff. "I see a huge correlation between company's success and how hard people work," he said. "It's a lot of hours for a long time, that's the biggest determinant of success."
Caroline Kealey, CEO of Ingenium Communications, has personally proven this point in spades.
Despite being a busy single mother with a full-time business, she set out to lever the insight and expertise developed over a 20-year career in strategic marketing communications into an educational resource for professional development and training. The Ingenium team, with a substantial amount of goodwill and in-kind support from friends and allies, set to work, determined to bootstrap their new venture, Results Map, without seeking a term sheet that would have diluted ownership. After six years of effort, the new venture launched last year.
"The sheer tenacity and the focus required was a major challenge since the project had to run alongside our regular work and business development," Kealey said. "Stitching this together into something coherent with an end goal in mind was a very significant challenge."
"Most of the development work I did on this was between 5 and 7 a.m. before I got my kids up to get ready for school; that's obviously not everyone's cup of tea."
What's your cup of tea? What kind of sacrifice and personal growth has it taken for you to get your technology to market?
This is the 10th article in a continuing series that examines the state of the ecosystem necessary to successfully bring technology to market. Based on dozens of interviews with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, business leaders, academics, tech-transfer experts and policy makers, this series looks at what is working and what can be improved in the go-to-market ecosystem in the United States, Canada and Britain.

Why Did It Take Hours For Outrage Over Tom Perkins' "Kristallnacht" Letter?
By Alec MacGillis
We're still talking about Tom Perkins, three days after the venture capitalist's letter warning of a progressive "Kristallnacht" against America's wealthy appeared on the opinion page of the Wall Street Journal. The letter provoked a harsh disclaimer from the firm that Perkins co-founded, an op-ed in the New York Times and a follow-up non-apology apology interview by Perkins in Bloomberg View.
But one thing has left me disquieted about the whole episode: why did it take so long for the reaction to the letter to kick in?
The letter appeared, with the eye-catching headline "Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?", in the highest-circulation newspaper in the country – there are 2,261,772 subscribers to the Journal's weekend edition, and even if a sizable proportion of those are paid online subscribers, there are still hundreds of thousands of people getting the paper on Saturday morning. Yet it was not until one reader (okay, me) wrote a tweet calling attention to the letter at 11:12 ET that that the letter went viral. That is, for several hours that morning, readers were leafing through their Journal without any one of them being moved to exclaim on Twitter about the fact that one of the country's wealthiest and most allegedly far-sighted businessmen was predicting an anti-rich "Kristallnacht" on American soil.
I am genuinely perplexed by this, and have settled on a few possible theories:
1. Print is truly dead. People may still be getting the Journal but no one is actually reading it, except maybe to check out the shelter porn pieces in the real estate pages.
2. The Big Sort is complete – we are now all officially ensconced in our ideologically and culturally atomized bubbles. All readers of the Journal are either too conservative to think that what Perkins wrote was objectionable or too old or technologically unhip to link to the letter on Twitter. That is, except for one freakish Journal reader in Baltimore.
3. America was just sleeping in really late on Saturday.
I hope it's number three. I suspect it's some combination of one and two, and that's depressing. I'm genuinely curious what people think about this. If a plutocrat predicts an American Kristallnacht in a major newspaper and no one notices, did it even happen?

NIA – The Ministry of Tourism on Nevis, will join with its counterparts in St. Kitts for the 2nd annual St. Kitts-Nevis Restaurant Week, from July 13 to 24, 2016. Participating restaurants has surpassed that of last year and more than 40 are registered for this year's event.
Kathleen Pessolano, Consultant to the Ministry of Tourism on St. Kitts disclosed in an interview with John Hanley, Assistant Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism on Nevis, at the Gin Trap Bar and Restaurant on July 02, 2016 that the week is designed to promote the local dining scene on both islands.
"We ask that they get creative with the theme ingredient… This year its local pumpkin, so the restaurants will feature some exciting dishes using local pumpkin," she said.
This year, 40 restaurants in the Federation will be participating in the event. Eleven are from Nevis. All participating restaurants are expected to offer a special Restaurant Week menu in four categories.
There are three categories in the dinner specials. The Gin Trap Bar and Restaurant and Nisbet Plantation Beach Club will offer a three-course meal for EC$162.
The second dinner special offers a three-course meal for EC$108. Which will be offered by the Four Seasons Resort Nevis – Mango Restaurant, Mount Nevis Hotel, Oualie Beach Resort, The Hermitage Plantation Inn, Golden Rock Inn, Nevis and Sunshines Beach Bar and Grill.
Dinner specials will be offered for EC$54. However, that category is not being offered by eating establishments on Nevis.
Boddies Café, Oasis Restaurant at the Botanical Gardens, Nisbet Plantation Beach Club, The Hermitage Plantation Inn and Sunshines Beach Bar and Grill will be offering lunch specials daily.
All specials are priced per person and includes tax but does not include beverages or gratuity. The dinner restaurants will also feature drinks specials from a number of participating businesses.
Pessolano used the opportunity to invite the public to participate in Restaurant Week. She urged them to make advanced reservations and to visit the website www.restaurantweek.kn for more information.
Meantime, Hanley pledged the Ministry's support for the event. He added that it would provide an opportunity to merge with the Ministry of Agriculture.
"This is an excellent opportunity to create a linkage between agriculture and tourism and with that strong linkage being forged by Restaurant Week our economy can only get stronger," he said.

Well, actually it's more like 342 days. But who's counting? Since my hiatus from my blog is coming to an end, I figured I would fill you in on all that has been happening in my life since I last posted in December of 2016.
One month of humidity and backpacking through Hong Kong and Taiwan.
When I started living by myself, it was important to me to have a place that I can feel completely like myself. My own sanctuary filled with things that make me unbelievably happy.
Just a single girl making her own way through the world.
One of the most noticeable changes I have undergone.
It continues to be an ongoing battle, but one I've truly been overcoming.
Black Friday had me buying more hangers I bought so much.
Just a quick run-down on where I've been while MIA in the cyber world. You can see more of what I've been up to over on my Instagram.
If there is one thing to get me into the season, its the first snowfall. This year I couldn't help but feel a little bit like Lorelai Gilmore as ran outside to take photos at the first sight of snow.

How to Kiss Your Leader of the Year Award Goodbye - HELLO, my name is Scott!
We've been exploring the impending dangers of unapproachable leaders in part 1 and part 2 of this three-part series.
1. When you're unapproachable, people walk away with self-esteem damage. Because when you don't respond objectively, openly and curiously to their ideas, people feel less intelligent after talking to you.
QUESTION: What invisible walls have your close-minded attitudes built?
STRATEGY: Learn how to leave a positive imprint on everyone you meet.
2. When you're unapproachable, people walk away feeling deflated. And they'll feel that things are hopeless after being around you. This corrodes motivation and hampers commitment. Which lowers their performance. Which heightens animosity. Which makes loyalty vanish. Yikes.
QUESTION: How often do you inspire people to inspire themselves?
STRATEGY: Help people fall in love with themselves by practicing Namaste.
3. When you're unapproachable, people walk away emotionally numb. Because they were never given permission to relax, be their true selves and exert their distinctiveness. They were forced into compliance. They were haphazardly labeled ENFJ and then stored in a nice little, predictable box. This is what happens if people feel constantly judged by you.
Or if you take issue or ague with everything they say. They perceive your value system to be SO opposed that your ego won't allow you to listen to them. Eventually, they won't bother approaching you at all. And that's when you, as a leader, miss out on their valuable ideas, opportunities and feedback.
QUESTION: How often do you overlook people who might offer meaningful ideas?
STRATEGY: Learn the difference between exploration and accusation.
QUESTION: How do people experience themselves in relation to you?
STRATEGY: Learn how to make people feel essential.
5. People walk aware worse. Kind of the opposite of the outdoor rule, "Leave the camp sight better than the way you found it." In this case, people are in a bad mood after being around you.
Which kind of makes them NOT want to be around you very often. And, when they ARE around you, it results in curt communication underscored by a lack of mindfulness because all they're thinking about his how badly they want the conversation to be over.
QUESTION: Are people diminished, unaffected, or enlarged after their encounter with you?
STRATEGY: Decide how you would like people to experience you.
6. When you're unapproachable, people walk away having missed opportunities for growth. Without mental flexibility and openness, here's what happens: People stop learning, which means people stop growing, which means people start dying. Yikes. Not good for business.
QUESTION: How do you add value to people?
STRATEGY: Become a Value Adding Machine by learning the two most important words for listening louder: Take notes.

Twenty-year-old Nellie Monroe has a perfect college GPA, a job that's beneath her, and a restless brilliance that makes her a bit of an odd duck. Oh, and she wants to be a private investigator, even though her tiny Ohio hometown offers no hope of clients. Until she meets Amos Shetler, a refugee from the local Amish community who's carrying a torch for the girl he left behind. So Nellie straps on her bonnet and goes undercover to get the dish. Literally, since she's talked her way into Amish cooking lessons. But though she's brainy, Nellie is clueless when it comes to real life and real relationships. In short order she has alienated her best friend and angered her college professor-and appears to have botched her case. Will the boy still get the girl? Can Nellie save her career in criminal science? And more importantly, will she ever learn how to make a decent piecrust?


Friday, April 7 ended up being a day of living my social activist values. I was invited to give a short presentation to a sociology class at Fort Lewis College about my work organizing the Standing on the Side of Love March, which took place in Durango on Saturday, January 21, 2017. Despite receiving more than a foot of snow that Saturday morning, which trapped many people at home (unable to leave their driveways or navigate unplowed roads into town) — over a thousand people still attended that march. The event covered the front page of The Durango Herald the next morning (you can read an online version of the article here) and I delivered a speech to the crowd, which you can find on the Facebook page for the march, following the link here.
I had no idea how many procedures and requirements were involved with organizing a project like that, and I've shared information with many people since then — but Friday was my first time speaking in front of a class full of college students about those details. My friend Hannah Dzubinski — who designed the march posters, social media pages, and spent hours and HOURS of time with me, working hard to make that march happen — Hannah came to the sociology class with me, because we are a TEAM and the Standing on the Side of Love March was an event we are both extremely proud of.
Right after the class finished, we jumped in my car and drove 2.5 hours to Montrose, Colorado, to attend a 6:00 p.m. Town Hall with our District 3 U.S. Representative, Republican Scott Tipton.
"Fractious town hall for Tipton" is the headline beneath a photograph of Representative Tipton speaking in front of a large crowd in the Montrose high school gym. One staff member commented that this was the largest attendance for a town hall in Montrose they'd ever had.
People are fired up with anger and fear about the state of the country right now, and Representative Tipton sure got an earful about climate change and health care last night. He also witnessed lots of feet-stomping, clapping, whistling, yelling, and chanting. Like other recent town halls I've seen on TV, this one was full of people who are worried about losing health care, and people who are REALLY worried about climate change ruining all of our lives. Also strongly disliked: the current administration's ideas about building a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. At one point during the two hours in which Representative Tipton answered questions, the audience yelled, "No wall! No wall! No wall!" for quite some time.
I think there were maybe six people in that entire gym who were Republicans. The rest were all Democrats, libertarians, independents, and people who ride around on unicorns, like me.
My sincere apologies that my camera is so non-good with distance photographs taken indoors. Maybe I will get a clue one day and buy a new camera. As long as I don't have to dismount Princess Sparkles, of course. Because God forbid I do anything without my unicorn, mystical steed of special snowflake magic.
Representative Tipton stated he is against the Paris Accord. He also said he has "core values" that will never change. He did a very nice job facing this large, raucous crowd in the Montrose high school gym. I hope to attend another one of his town halls. He is a good man and I believe his heart is in the right place. But my core values do not match his. I believe that the burning of fossil fuels is creating global warming as well as ocean acidification, and if human society does not change our ways, we are on a path to extinction. Representative Tipton disagrees.


Open House Saturday AND Sunday, June 18-19, 1-4pm, 1417 Woodland St.
I absolutely love older houses. And when you have a modern, updated home that keeps all the vintage details, that is the best. That is exactly what we have in 1417 Woodland — thick baseboards, classic doorknobs, dark wood, mantles…along with an updated kitchen and baths, a covered front porch and sweet screened-in back porch. And this one is in East Nashville, just down the street from Lockeland Table, Lipstick Lounge and Mad Donna's, and just a few blocks from all the awesomeness of 5 Points.


Our mentor and host at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, Chèvrefeuille not only teaches us about writing waka ( Japanese poetry forms) but also enriches our knowledge on the great haiku masters of yesteryear.
Every day we are given either history of a former haiku master, something to think about related to spirituality, tarot cards, astronomy, showcasing another haiku poet or poetess around the world or one of our own haijin members. We are part of a family here and welcome new members all the time.
Chèvrefeuille has posted e-books on techniques in writing haiku or tanka and in his tireless dedication to his family, he has posted several e-books wherein he has compiled different themes we have written to. Here are a few e-books and I encourage you to stop by Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. Writing haiku is not just writing poetry, it is a way of life.
Here is a link of Carpe Diem's Library with winners of haiku writting…ebooks by several of our Haijin siblings.

US equity indexes closed moderately higher, sp +11pts @ 2171, (intra low 2151). The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled higher by 0.3% and 0.7% respectively. VIX settled -5.4% @ 12.39. Near term outlook offers further upside into the Sept'/Q3 close.
It was a rather interesting day in market land. There was a fair amount of minor chop in the morning, but then a significant swing higher in the afternoon, partly inspired by a surge in oil prices.
VIX cooled for a second consecutive day, unable to even hold the 13s. Despite the looming election, the key 20 threshold looks a stretch.
Copper has built a strong floor since the Jan' low of $1.94. A move >$2.40 in Oct/Nov', would break the downward trend that stretches back to 2011. First target would then be the 2.80/3.00 zone. Interestingly, the Russian equity market is similar in price structure, and has recently broken out.
Since the Jan'19th low of 154.85, the CRB has been battling upward. Its now formed what is likely the first higher low of 176.67. A push to the 210/230 zone before year end looks viable.
If commodities do climb into next year, it bodes for far higher equity levels, not just for the US market, but across the world.

All of these ores are sorted into tiers, as they will be able to make progressively stronger equipment. The ores above tier 2 must be acquired from different locations in the solar system (i.e. the sun, asteroid fields, moons, other planets).
The textures are all complete for these ores, now I just need to implement them into generation!


The Dusky-capped Flycatcher has a large range, estimated globally at 11,000,000 square kilometers. It is native to Mexico and the United States as well as many of the nations of Central and South America and prefers forest and wetlands ecosystems, though it has been known to reside in plantations and degraded former forests. The global population of this bird is estimated to be between 5,000,000 and 50,000,000 individuals and it does not appear to meet population decline criteria that would necessitate inclusion on the IUCN Red List. The current evaluation status of the Dusky-capped Flycatcher is Least Concern.
Dusky-capped Flycatcher: Breeds in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, locally in Texas, and into central western Mexico. Spends winters in coastal California or south of the U.S.-Mexico border from central Mexico south into the tropics. Preferred habitats include scrub oak thickets and canyon growths.
Dawn song consists of whistled calls and trills.
The Dusky-capped Flycatcher is best separated from other confusingly similar Myiarchus species by its smaller size, blackish head, and its call, a sorrowful, descending, whistled peeur or wheeeeeu.

На змагання зі сноуборду на зимових Олімпійських іграх 2022 виділено 238 квотних місць.

Правила кваліфікації
Усі олімпійські квоти розподілено за підсумками олімпійського кваліфікаційного рейтингу FIS. За підсумками кваліфікації до участі в Іграх допущено 238 сноубордистів, що виконали кваліфікаційні критерії. Національний олімпійський комітет має право виставити щонайбільше 26 спортсменів на всі дисципліни (максимум 14 чоловіків або 14 жінок). У кожній дисципліні одну країну можуть представляти не більш як 4 спортсмени.

Кваліфікаційні вимоги

 Біг-ейр та слоупстайл мають комбіновану квоту в змаганнях.

 Вікові обмеження:

Усі спортсмени, що беруть участь у Зимових Олімпійських іграх у Пекіні, повинні народитися до 1 січня 2007 року.

 Кваліфікаційні критерії країни-господарки:

Якщо НОК Китаю як країни-господарки не заробив принаймні по одному квотному місцю в кожній дисципліні, то йому зарезервовано одну квоту на дисципліну в межах загальної максимальної квоти, за умови, що спортсмен відповідає вимогам Кваліфікаційних критеріїв відбору.

 Кваліфікаційний період:

У змаганнях зі сноуборду для розрахунку використовують рейтингові бали спортсмена за підсумками Кубка світу з 1 липня 2019 року (для паралельного гігантського слалому з 1 липня 2020 року) до 16 січня 2022 року, а також додатково враховують підсумки чемпіонату світу зі сноуборду 2021 року.

Остаточний розподіл квот на турнір для чоловіків або жінок проводять за списком спортсменів із найвищим рейтингом балів FIS на 17 січня 2022 року.

 Вимоги кваліфікації спортсменів:

Квоти розподіляють за Списком розподілу олімпійських квот шляхом присвоєння одного місця квоти на спортсмена, враховуючи місце квоти країни-господарки, доки не буде досягнуто максимальної загальної кількості квот на змагання в паралельному гігантському слаломі, хафпайпі, сноубордкросі, біг-ейр/слоупстайл, для кожної статі.

Коли НОК досягає максимальної кількості з чотирьох місць на дисципліну, то решту його спортсменів відкидають, а місце виділяють наступному відповідному НОК у списку розподілу олімпійських квот.

 Додаткова участь для спортсменів, що вже кваліфікувались:

Хафпайп має квотні обмеження 25 спортсменів що в чоловічих, що в жіночих змаганнях. Якщо спортсмени, що вже кваліфікувалися в слоупстайлі або біг-ейрі, ще й виконали кваліфікаційний стандарт у хафпайпі, то вони можуть взяти участь і в цій дисципліні, так що кількість спортсменів може сягнути 30. Так само і в змаганнях зі слоупстайлу та біг-ейр можуть взяти участь спортсмени, що кваліфікувалися в хафпайпі, допоки загальна кількість спортсменів у кожній дисципліні не перевищує 30 однієї статі.

 Участь у змаганнях змішаних команд зі сноубордкросу:

У змаганнях змішаних команд зі сноубордкросу мають право взяти участь щонайбільше по одній команді від НОК з одним чоловіком та однією жінкою. Усі спортсмени повинні відповідати критеріям НОК та повинні мати право брати участь в індивідуальному змаганні з сноубордкросу відповідно до Кваліфікаційних критеріїв відбору. Формування команд триває доти, доки не набереться 16 команд.

Lavender and peppermint might seem like an odd combination, one known for relaxation and the other for invigoration, but combined they create the perfect balance.
Ingredients: Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, Castor Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil, Honey, and Vitamin E Oil.
All of the lip balm from Harmon's Heavenly Honey is hand-made in small batches with products directly from our hives, a perfect and refreshing way to heal and protect your lips. So why buy ours? Because it was made the Harmon way: Love, patience, and with high quality ingredients.
Do not leave in direct sunlight. Our lip balm does not contain chemical stabilizers that are found in other products and therefore does not withstand the intense heat of being left in direct sun.

Q: Where is the less.js compiled file after compiling? Less - js side via script - should, in theory, compile the css and save it in a file.
example:
<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="./style.less" />
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/3.9.0/less.min.js" data-async='true' data-env:'production' data-compress:'true'></script>

via php less leave the compiled file in js I have no idea where it is.
Where is the compiled file? does anyone know?
or: is there a method to let him put it directly somewhere?
thanks everybody.

A: When you compile filename.less the compiled CSS code has been injected into the HTML DOM in a style tag with id less:filename.
To get the compilled CSS code you can also use:
less.pageLoadFinished.then(
    function() {
        console.log(document.getElementById('less:filename').innerHTML);
    }
);

A: From the suggestion of J.McLaren I evolved the thing in this:
if( document.querySelector('script[src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/3.9.0/less.min.js"]')||document.querySelector('script[src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/3.9.0/less.min.js"]') )
    {
        console.log("\n\n[⚠alert]: LessJs via simple script\n• If you are using lessjs via script remember to put data-async='true' or something will not work!\n::::  • Now you can copy the theme written by less in the head. Comment the Less script and load the compiled css parameters!\n• Remember that even if excellent, the script version is extremely slow!\n\n• We recommend using compilation via node js or php.\n::::     via php: shorturl.at/apy09\n::::     via node: shorturl.at/esSUY\n\n");

        let themecompiled = document.querySelector('style[id^="less:').innerHTML;
        alert("\n\n[⚠ alert]: LessJs Finished - you can copy the theme and deactivate less.js\n\n");
        prompt("Compiled code:", ""+themecompiled);

    }

In this way an alert will appear saying "Less has finished" and then a prompt where you can copy the compressed css.
Copy the css into a file, disable lessjs and it will be quick.
The system is also implemented on my framework

Today I baked a cake. I used a different recipe from normal which I found here. I followed the recipe exactly (except for using three medium eggs instead of two large eggs) and it took a lot longer than usual. A cake usually takes me only 10 minutes to whip up before putting it in the oven but today I wanted to see what would happen if I took longer over the whole process. It probably won't surprise you that this cake is a lot better than anything I've baked before (ok, except my chocolate butterfly cakes - they really are awesome). I spent a little extra time and not only did I get something much better out of it, I also found that I enjoyed the experience much more.
I think in our modern hectic lifestyles we often forget how beneficial slowing down can actually be. We think we don't have time to stop and actually enjoy that cup of tea or we shove food straight from the freezer into the oven without taking the time to enjoy the experience and sensations of cooking a dinner from scratch. I understand that you probably don't have time to do that everyday but why not just once a week? My M.E. has forced me to slow down and appreciate everything that I'm able to do but it is the stress and rushing about that makes me worse. I wouldn't wish that on anyone so I'm begging you to just take a minute. Right now. Close your eyes for one whole minute (set a timer) and just breathe. Nothing else. Just breathe.
If you did that don't you feel so much more prepared to take on the day/night? Taking 'me' time is important and should never be left to last as it is the only way to truly appreciate everything in this life and give you the ability and energy to get through your entire life.
And now, for those of you who did the exercise (if you didn't, you could do it now) here's some pictures of my fabulous cake I baked.
I have always thought of myself as a realist. Even I can't call myself an optimist but I certainly wouldn't call myself a pessimist. Just because I prepare for the worst doesn't mean I can't expect the best. Take my writing for example. I don't expect anyone to publish anything that I'll eventually send them. That doesn't stop me having fantasies of being rich and famous - but I know they'll stay just that, fantasies. And just because I don't believe I will get published doesn't mean I will send out half done work. I might expect the worst but in this instance I'm preparing as much as I can for both outcomes - making the work as good as it can be and preparing my mind for the knowledge that I won't get accepted. Afterall, almost every writer I've ever read about has said they have been rejected repeatedly. Therefore I don't much care that I will get rejected. I can see how this could be seen as pessimism but for me, not caring doesn't mean I won't try. If I never tried then I would classify myself as a pessimist and a failure. A failure is someone who doesn't try. I'm going to try. Just because I don't expect to be accepted doesn't mean I shouldn't give it a shot. I could expect to get published but that wouldn't stop me from getting accepted so why does expecting to get rejected stop me from getting published? Unless I didn't bother trying because of it.
So to recap this very confusing post - I am not a pessimist, nor am I a failure. You don't have to expect the best for it to happen and I believe expecting the best can be very devasting when it doesn't happen. But the important thing is to KEEP TRYING ANYWAY.
I am not one of those writers who worry that they can't decide between the hundreds of ideas floating in their minds. I am lucky if I find one idea I feel I can work with. OK, so I currently have two or three ideas in my head, some partly written, but those ideas are the accumulation of a few years. I have really struggled in my course, not because I can't write or don't want to write (though sometimes the lack of motivation certainly doesn't help) but because of the number of ideas I have to come up with. Thankfully next year is only three and I'm planning on using one I already have - so that's just two I have to think about.
I have to actively look for ideas, and I think that is certainly part of why I read blogs, to see if they set my mind working. It doesn't happen very often, and hasn't happened recently and I'm beginning to worry. I had planned on writing some short stories over the summer but can't think of anything. So I'm going to try a different approach - the character approach. I am already a people watcher but I am less good at constructing stories for them, though sometimes they do come into my mind. But I figure if I try creating some characters and putting them together it could have interesting results - of course, it could just as easily be a disaster, I guess we won't know until I try.
But what worries me about my lack of ideas is the feeling that I have no imagination. When I was a child I could make up stories really easily and that was one of the reasons I wanted to be a writer. I still want to be a writer but for totally different reasons - I like to write, I feel that I'm good at it and I want to share something with the world. Whether that be an idea or just to make someone think about something in a slightly different way I don't know yet - I guess it depends on the story. So does imagination disappear as you get older? I'm finding it increasingly difficult to construct ideas but is this due to lack of imagination or simply that I want to do something different when I should be trying to do something the same with a different approach (which appeals but also sounds really difficult).
I'm not entirely sure what point I was trying to make in this post, other than to say that not every writer is bursting with ideas. I guess the fact that I love editing is the reason I lost out on that bid.
Lately I have started paying attention to the world. It started gradually through noticing topics that popped up often in blogs such as the iPad and the ridiculous debates on how it will effect publishing - yes it will effect it, yes it will change our reading habits in the future, no it will never fully overtake books (just read the comments and you can see that such a large portion of the consumers like reading off paper and you'll come to the same conclusion I promise). And then I started watching the news. I don't watch it everyday and honestly I don't really care, but for the first time I'm paying attention. And I think I know why.
I am bored and not in the good relaxing way. My mind is craving stimulation and my way of getting it is to pay attention and learn new things. I spend hours every day reading blogs, I am addicted and not only because I'm nosey, but because I need to feed that hole that devours information. I lap up any and every piece of advice given about writing about life. I probably don't follow 90% but I still want to know what people have to offer. I still don't really care but I'm finding that knowing what's going on in the world can be fun (even if I never see anyone to discuss said issues) and the more I feel the hunger, the bigger the hunger gets. I need more information. I need to know new things. I don't actively look into many of the topics unless they are so amazing I can't help myself (hasn't happened yet). I didn't see this coming. I didn't expect to become this person. I've always been happy in my own little world but now I can't avoid it, I want more and more and more (though I do have a limit of a few times a week with watching the news but I love shows like Loose Women which actually make me think). I don't ever want to lose my ability to think for myself so I'm going to keep reading and writing and learning.
This post is purely from my point of view and about my personal experiences.
Thanks for the questions girls. I first got M.E/C.F.S when I was about 15 though I am hazy on when exactly. It started with me catching a virus and then it just seemed like I never recovered from it. Luckily I had a really good doctor who knew about and understood M.E. and so after a few months she suggested I might have it. There is no way of determining whether you have M.E. or not other than eliminating other possibilities so I had to have quite a few blood tests for other illnesses. Also, because of the nature of M.E. the sufferer has to have had the symptoms for at least 6 months before it can be classified as M.E.
As for the symptoms. There are a lot of them and they vary for every sufferer. The main symptom that every sufferer has is fatigue. A lot of people believe this is simply tiredness but it is so much worse than that. It's beyond exhaustion and I feel it almost all of the time. It's as if all my energy has been sucked out of me and I feel like a useless lump as moving is very difficult, not to mention painful. Other symptoms that I suffer from are headaches/migraines which I have almost all the time, muscle pain particularly in the legs and sometimes in my arms, insomnia, sensitivity to light and sound. When I am particularly bad the sensitivity causes a lot of problems as I jump at the slightest sound and if more than one person is talking at once I have to cover my ears because it becomes deafening to me. I also have depression which may or may not be connected to the M.E. but obviously it gets worse as my M.E. gets worse due to the fact that I lose hope that I will ever be able to do anything I want to again. I haven't had all these symptoms all the time as M.E. is a circular disability meaning that it gets worse for a period of time then gets better, sometimes to the point where I can forget I have it. Of course this is a problem as the symptoms get worse if you overdo it - either physically or mentally - so if I'm feeling well my instinct is to make the most of it but this can bring it back. So it never really goes and I've had to learn to pace myself and not overdo it which I'm still learning to do.
As for how it effects my life - when I first got it I was doing my GCSE's but could only go to school part time so would go for a few hours everyday as when I tried to go full time I made myself very ill so I was unable to go to school at all. Now I am at uni and most of the time I am able to go to all the classes as there are only a few a week, however, when I am feeling particularly bad I have to miss the class if I want to get any work done. In the past few months it has been particularly bad to the point that I was only managing one class a week as getting there and having to focus for a few hours totally drained me so I would need a couple of days to recover from it. Last year (my first year) went well and I didn't have many problems and was able to have a social life. This year I have managed to go out clubbing twice and I didn't really enjoy it as I wasn't able to dance which is what I love. I also had to quit dance due to my M.E. So now all my time is pretty much spent focusing on my uni work as I can't cope with a social life as well.
I am very lucky as I have a very understanding family who have supported me and never thought that I was making it up so they don't push me to do more than I can. And I am also very grateful to my boyfriend as he is also very understanding and often helps me when I am particularly bad by helping me to the toilet, cooking my dinner etc as these things can be very difficult when my muscles feel like they are about to collapse under me. I think that the main effect M.E. has had on my life is friendships. When I was at high school a lot of my friends believed I was just being lazy (I am no longer friends with any of them) and I haven't been able to keep in contact with many friends that I made last year as I just don't have the energy to go out. Some of them have tried to stay in contact but it has been very difficult for me as they always seem to want me to go out places, and the more times I've said I can't, the less I've been asked. It can sometimes feel very lonely as I am stuck in my house for weeks so the only way I see anyone other than my boyfriend is if they come to me which, understandable, not many people have the time to do as they all have their own lives.
I hope this has answered all your questions - if you find you don't understand something or want to ask me something I haven't covered, please leave a message or email me at anyawillowfan@yahoo.co.uk and I'll be happy to answer as best I can.
Today is M.E./C.F.S. Awareness Day. I know I was going to explain to you all what it is like to live with this disability but really don't have any idea where to start. So I'm opening it up to you - the readers. Please leave any questions you want to have answered and on Friday I'll do my best to give you my answers. They will be personal and only of my opinion so don't be surprised if my answers don't match other experiences that you have read about - everyone is different. So please ask away.
Usually I use the Sunday Shout Out to point you in the direction of a blog I read and enjoy. This week will be slightly different as it is M.E. Awareness Week. A lot of you know that this is a disability I have lived with for quite a long time and I often mention it in my blog. However, I am also aware that I haven't really explained what M.E. is. So later this week I plan to write a post about how M.E. has effected me. But for today I am leaving some links to M.E. charities that are certainly worth a look if you want to know more about this disability.
AYME (Association of Young People with M.E.) is the charity that I've found most useful, their services are for sufferers under 25 - they have given me comfort and contact with other sufferers which has proved invaluable.
The M.E. Association I haven't had a lot of experience with this charity but their website is very useful if you are looking for information about M.E.
And for any sufferers or carers who may come across my blog: FAME (Fibromyalgia And M.E.) is an open forum where you can talk about anything with other sufferers.
P.S. M.E. stands for Myalgic Encelopathy which literally translates into muscle and brain disease. It is now known in the medical world as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but M.E. is still the more common term with sufferers. There is no known cure and it is uncertain what causes this disability as there doesn't appear to be any common factors in sufferers.
The other day I was wishing I could think like the Doctor - there is something about the quickness and intelligence with which he thinks, the way he states all aspects of the problem then attacks each point until he has narrowed down the answer. Wouldn't it be awesome if people could really think the way he does? And then I realised that what I am actually impressed with is the writing. The way the Doctor thinks and speaks is a product of the creators and writers and actors. In thinking what would the Doctor do I had forgotten that he is a character. I mean, I know he is fictional.
But the fact that I think of him as real is a tribute to the writers. And I think too often we forget about the writers, especially in television and film. The better the writing the less we notice it which is how it's supposed to be. But we shouldn't forget where it comes from. Someone has created the worlds, the situations and the answers as well as putting the words into the character's mouths and that while I may physically be able to do that I can only hope that one day my writing will speak to someone so directly that they forget it was written. That is my dream. Not to be forgotten. But to have my work appreciated so much that I blend into the background and therefore whatever message is in my work will be received without interruption from me. What does being great at what you do mean to you?
You may remember me mentioning a few times that I was trying the 365 photography project. I haven't taken a photo in almost a month. The reason I haven't told you is I wasn't sure if I was really giving it up or if I would keep going after a few days. But it has become apparant that I have officially given up. I am not upset about it, I have learnt to take my camera with me everywhere - you never know what you might see. And it has made me notice the world around me. But it has become clear that I am not a photographer. Surprisingly this doesn't worry me, because I gave it a chance. I didn't write it off before trying it so I am happy to admit that that is not my forte and I can use my new attentiveness in my writing to bring out the worlds I am creating.
Only a few days ago I was directed to Tawna Fenske's blog, specifically for her post on her writing method. Yes, this is primarily a writing blog (sorry to everyone who aren't writers and have no interest at all in the writer's mind, but if you know me at all, you know it's to be expected). Anyway, so I only found the blog a few days ago and yet I have already spent hours wandering around it and soaking up all her enthusiasm and great advice. Seriously - I'm not bored of it yet! This to me means it is definitely worth having a snoop and even if you aren't a writer you might still find something that appeals to you.
It has never really occurred to me how we hear the written word before. What I mean is, when I read words off a page I hear them in my head, as if someone is talking to me. This happens particularly with blogs as everyone has such a unique voice and so you all become characters in my head. That was until yesterday when someone posted a youtube video where their voice was an overvoice (so I couldn't see them) and I realised that I didn't really hear the bloggers. I hear their words in my voice (well, the sound of my voice anyway) - so therefore every blog I read is English, Female, Early Twenties, you see where I'm going with this.

Q: The requested operation is invalid. Server Response: A value must be provided for item. clientRequestID: I've seen a lot of other posts like this, so I guess this is a common problem, but, I'm unable to fix it!
All I want is a multi-screen app that collects data from a bunch of fields and fills in an Excel table, nothing more than a basic form.
This is what I have:

The error I get when clicking the button is:

"The requested operation is invalid. Server Response: A value must be
  provided for item. clientRequestID: ..."

But what is wrong with this button?
Thanks for helping!

A: Likely you have a field that is required which you are not providing a value for.
Example:

*

*With Sharepoint lists, the Title column is required by default

*When submitting a form without this column, a similar error is shown

Some ideas:

*

*Make all form fields visible within the PowerApp

*Check their Required property

*Set Required properties to false accordingly and try submitting again

*If that doesn't work, try Patch, Defaults rather than SubmitForm() to enter a new record into the Excel spreadsheet.

*

*You get granular control over fields with Patch

Nigerian, Kate Ekanem, among the Internet Society 25 Under 25 – Twenty-five young people honored for using the Internet to make a difference
By Adaora on	 September 14, 2017 0 Comments
The Internet Society earlier this month announced the awardees of its 25 under 25 program. One of the many initiatives supporting the Internet Society's 25th Anniversary, the program recognizes 25 young people from around the globe who are passionate about using the Internet to make a positive impact in their communities and the world.
Representing 19 countries on five continents, the 25 Under 25 awardees' initiatives include creating an anti-cyberbullying youth movement in Australia, providing e-health education to teens in Tanzania, and using ICTs to break the cycle of poverty for families in Costa Rica. A Nigerian, Ms. Kate Ekanem, is among the 25 awardees for her work empowering girls through education and literacy
While their individual accomplishments are noteworthy in their own right, together these 25 awardees highlight how today's youth are helping to shape the future. As Kathryn Brown, Internet Society President and CEO, notes, "their efforts have a tremendous impact, creating new ways of socializing, mobilizing and organizing in a digital world. By recognizing these individuals, we aim to inspire other young people around the world to become actors of change and use the Internet for social good."
Founded by Internet pioneers, the Internet Society (ISOC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet. Working through a global community of chapters and members, the Internet Society collaborates with a broad range of groups to promote the technologies that keep the Internet safe and secure, and advocates for policies that enable universal access. The Internet Society is also the organizational home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
The 25 Under 25 awardees will be formally recognized at a special ceremony on Monday, 18 September in Los Angeles, California.
For profiles of each awardee, please visit: https://www.internetsociety.org/25th/25-under-25/awardees.
