30 What are flats in art?
Space in a work of art refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions. It can also refer to the artist's use of the area within the picture plane. The area around the primary objects in a work of art is known as negative space, while the space occupied by the primary objects is known as positive space.
What dimensions does a flat work of art have?
In art criticism of the 1960s and 1970s, flatness described the smoothness and absence of curvature or surface detail of a two-dimensional work of art.
What kind of volume is a space that is enclosed by materials that are not entirely solid?
when artist enclose a space with materials that are not completely solid, they create an open volume. A two-dimensional object is called a shape, and a three-dimensional object is known as a ________.
Is the outer edge or profile of an object that can suggest volume in space?
A contour line defines the outer edge or profile of an object, and can be used to suggest a volume in space. This kind of shape is mathematically regular and precise.

What is flat space in art?
It has no depth, only length and width. It consists of straight or curved lines or both and may have any number of sides. In the example, the two-dimensional image appears flat because all the objects and forms lie on the same plane. It has no feeling of depth.
What is flat in art?
Flat design is a user interface design style that uses simple, two-dimensional elements and bright colors. It is often contrasted to the skeuomorphic style that gives the illusion of three dimensions through copying real-life properties.

volume. This term refers to the substance contained in an object but it does not necessarily imply weight.
What is the area around an object?
Space is the area between and around objects. The space around objects is of- ten called negative space; negative space has shape.
What element of art that is used to define space contours and outlines or suggest mass and volume?
Line Line: An element of art that is used to define space, contours, and outlines, or suggest mass and volume. It may be a continuous mark made on a surface with a pointed tool or implied by the edges of shapes and forms.
What is visual space in art?
Space in a work of art refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions. It can also refer to the artist's use of the area within the picture plane.

What are shapes defined by?
A shape is defined for an object or any external surface or boundary, apart from other properties such as color or material type. For example, a blue ball, made up of rubber materials is round in shape. In the same way, there are various geometric shapes we see in our day-to-day life.
What do we call an empty open area above around and within the object?
Space, as one of the classic seven elements of art, refers to the distances or areas around, between, and within components of a piece. Space can be positive or negative, open or closed, shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
What elements of design are defined by moving in space?
An element of art defined by a point moving in space. Line. may be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract.

Q: MySQL - UPDATE query with LIMIT I want to update rows in my table with starting from 1001 to next 1000.
I tried with following query:
UPDATE `oltp_db`.`users` SET p_id = 3 LIMIT 1001, 1000

*

*This is giving me syntax error. Is this correct? am I doing any mistake here.

*Can we limit update in this way?

Also, the rows that I am trying to update are having Null value for the column p_id which is having data type INTEGER. Due to this I am not even able to update using following query:
UPDATE `oltp_db`.`users` SET p_id = 3 WHERE p_id = null

*

*Is my above query correct?

*What can be done to achieve this?

A: UPDATE `smartmeter_usage`.`users_reporting` SET panel_id = 3 LIMIT 1001, 1000

This query is not correct (or at least i don't know a possible way to use limit in UPDATE queries),  you should put a where condition on you primary key (this assumes you have an auto_increment column as your primary key, if not provide more details):
UPDATE `smartmeter_usage`.`users_reporting` SET panel_id = 3 WHERE primary_key BETWEEN 1001 AND 2000

For the second query you must use IS
UPDATE `smartmeter_usage`.`users_reporting` SET panel_id = 3 WHERE panel_id is null

EDIT - if your primary_key is a column named MAX+1 you query should be (with backticks as stated correctly in the comment):
UPDATE `smartmeter_usage`.`users_reporting` SET panel_id = 3 WHERE `MAX+1` BETWEEN 1001 AND 2000

To update the rows with MAX+1 from 1001 TO 2000 (including 1001 and 2000)

A: You can do it with a LIMIT, just not with a LIMIT and an OFFSET.

A: When dealing with null, = does not match the null values. You can use IS NULL or IS NOT NULL
UPDATE `smartmeter_usage`.`users_reporting`
SET panel_id = 3 WHERE panel_id IS NULL

LIMIT can be used with UPDATE but with the row count only

A: If you want to update multiple rows using limit in MySQL you can use this construct:
UPDATE table_name SET name='test'
WHERE id IN (
    SELECT id FROM (
        SELECT id FROM table_name
        ORDER BY id ASC
        LIMIT 0, 10
    ) tmp
)

A: In addition to the nested approach above, you can accomplish the application of theLIMIT using JOIN on the same table:
UPDATE `table_name`
INNER JOIN (SELECT `id` from `table_name` order by `id` limit 0,100) as t2 using (`id`)
SET `name` = 'test'

In my experience the mysql query optimizer is happier with this structure.

A: I would suggest a two step query
I'm assuming you have an autoincrementing primary key because you say your PK is (max+1) which sounds like the definition of an autioincrementing key.
I'm calling the PK id, substitute with whatever your PK is called.
1 - figure out the primary key number for column 1000.
SELECT @id:= id FROM smartmeter_usage LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1000

2 - update the table.
UPDATE smartmeter_usage.users_reporting SET panel_id = 3
WHERE panel_id IS NULL AND id >= @id
ORDER BY id
LIMIT 1000

Please test to see if I didn't make an off-by-one error; you may need to add or subtract 1 somewhere.

A: You should use IS rather than = for comparing to NULL.
UPDATE `smartmeter_usage`.`users_reporting`
SET panel_id = 3
WHERE panel_id IS null

The LIMIT clause in MySQL when applied to an update does not permit an offset to be specified.

A: You should highly consider using an ORDER BY if you intend to LIMIT your UPDATE, because otherwise it will update in the ordering of the table, which might not be correct.
But as Will A said, it only allows limit on row_count, not offset.

A: For people get this post by search "update limit MySQL"  trying to avoid turning off the safe update mode when facing update with the multiple-table syntax.
Since the offical document state

For the multiple-table syntax, UPDATE updates rows in each table named

I think this answer is quite helpful. It gives an example

UPDATE customers SET countryCode = 'USA'
      WHERE country = 'USA';               -- which gives the error, you just write:
UPDATE customers SET countryCode = 'USA'
      WHERE (country = 'USA' AND customerNumber <> 0); -- Because customerNumber is a primary key you got no error 1175 any more.

What I want but would raise error code 1175.
UPDATE table1 t1
        INNER JOIN
    table2 t2 ON t1.name = t2.name
SET
    t1.column = t2.column
WHERE
    t1.name = t2.name;

The working edition
UPDATE table1 t1
        INNER JOIN
    table2 t2 ON t1.name = t2.name
SET
    t1.column = t2.column
WHERE
    (t1.name = t2.name and t1.prime_key !=0);

Which is really simple and elegant. Since the original answer doesn't get too much attention (votes), I post more explanation. Hope this can help others.

For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).
I think and talk often about having a passion for God, a passion for Christ, and a passion for the gospel. And I hear and read often about having a passion for God, a passion for Christ, and a passion for the gospel. For the past decade, "passion" has been the word of choice in my circles when talking about devotion to Christ. But what does this mean?
This verb is used twelve times in the New Testament — once by Matthew, twice by Paul, and nine times by Luke (often quoting others). And while it would be the height of exegetical fallacy to read the entire semantic range of sunéchei into Paul's usage in 2 Corinthians 5:14, a survey of NT usages of the verb is instructive.
The crowds brought Jesus those who were oppressed by demons and he healed them (Matthew 4:24).
Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law who was ill with a high fever (Luke 4:38).
The Gerasenes were seized with fear after Jesus cast a legion of demons out of a deranged man and allowed them to enter a herd of pigs (Luke 8:37).
Crowds surrounded Jesus and pressed in on him (Luke 8:45).
Jesus is distressed at the thought of his impending suffering (Luke 12:50).
Jesus predicts that threatening enemies will one day surround Jerusalem (Luke 19:43).
Jesus was held in custody the night of his trial (Luke 22:63).
The enraged Jewish leaders plugged their ears when Stephen testified his vision of the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God (Acts 7:57).
Paul was intensely occupied with preaching the message of the gospel in Corinth (Acts 18:5).
Publius' father lay sick with fever and dysentery when Paul and his companions providentially shipwrecked on the island of Malta (Acts 28:8).
Paul was hard pressed between his desire for fruitful apostolic labor on earth and his desire to be with Christ in heaven (Philippians 1:23).
Again, the point is not that Paul is picturing all of these actions or activities when he uses the verb sunéchei in 2 Corinthians 5:14 to say that "the love of Christ controls us." It's simply bad exegesis to cram the broad semantic range of the verb into this single usage. However, these other occurrences of the verb do indicate that this verb has a semantic center — the idea of being controlled, compelled, constrained. People are constrained when they're demon-possessed or seriously ill or seized with fear. They're compelled when they're physically surrounded or emotionally distressed or under arrest. They're controlled when they're intensely occupied with an activity or squeezed between the rock and hard place of two desirable options.
This is the effect that Christ's love had on Paul's life. He and his missionary companions were "controlled" by the incarnate, self-sacrificing, atoning agape love of the God-Man Jesus Christ. Paul found himself hemmed in on all sides by this love; he was inescapably directed and channeled by this divine, cross-bearing love. The faithful, sacrificial, unchanging, atoning, covenantal love of the Son of God motivated him, constrained him, and even restricted him.
True gospel passion is more than this, but it is never less. To be controlled by earthly ambitions, no matter how religiously deep or missionally broad, is not true gospel passion. To be penetratingly insightful and intellectually deep is not true gospel passion in and of itself. To be accurately critical and articulately relevant can be very useful in God's purposes, but these are not in the same foundational category as a sincere gospel passion. Even the desire for ministry, the wild-eyed pursuit of radical living, and a full schedule of spiritual activities — while often being wonderful things — do not inherently spring from the genuine, undiluted spring of true gospel passion.
I do not mainly want to be perceived as passionate, or thought to be spiritual, or reputed to be dedicated to the gospel and the church. Nor am I content to be identified according to my ministry position or personal gifting or degree of experience. At times (hopefully most of the time) these will be reflections of a true affection for Christ and a sincere devotion to Him, but they are not necessarily so. Most of all, above all, and in all, I want to be controlled, gripped, and unquestionably driven by the love of Christ. May it be so, though it take a miracle each day. May it be so for us all.
I googled "controlled by the love of Christ" today because I was trying to think of the reference for that verse and don't have my bible handy…and your blog came up!
You're like a real celebrity. So glad I call you a friend. Miss you guys!

Belgrade-Budapest high-speed train: Highway to rail?
by Kafkadesk
Last month, Hungary and Serbia moved one significant step closer to building a high-speed train line between Budapest and Belgrade when the Hungarian government officially secured a Chinese loan to bankroll the much-anticipated project.
Belgrade-Budapest high-speed train moves forward with Chinese loan
At first glance, all may seem good in the brave new world about this railway project, which appears to make political – bringing two nations with strong ties closer together, while making Serbia all the more central to EU trade routes and Hungary a key player in the Western Balkans – and economic sense, halving the travel time between the two countries' capital cities from 8 to less than 4 hours.
But after securing the undisclosed loan from China, which should fund up to 85% of the project, the Hungarian government moved to declare all the documents linked to the scheme as state secrets for ten years. That's when the feeling of unease starts to kick in.
The much-awaited high-speed Budapest-Belgrade railway is anything but innocent. The single most expensive rail investment ever in Hungary, it should cost at least $2.1 billion according to the most conservative – and optimistic – estimates.
"If you take a look from a broader perspective, it absolutely makes sense to develop the North-South transportation and communication lines in the region", commented Budapest-based senior analyst Peter Goreczky to Euractiv.
The high-speed train between Belgrade and Budapest should transport Chinese goods arriving at the Greek port of Piraeus.
A long-running saga
The plans to develop a high-speed railway between Belgrade and Budapest first came to light in 2013, and its long-running saga has become, over the years, a symbol of China's failed investment promises in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as a major sticking point for Hungary's allies. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the three countries the following year.
The details were settled in 2015 and envisioned to build a total of 350 km of railway, including nearly half on EU territory, to make the Budapest-Belgrade route a key link in China's Belt and Road Initiative and infrastructure networks spanning all over the European-Asian continent. Mainly intended for cargo transportation, the line would be used to transport goods arriving at the Chinese-owned Greek port of Piraeus, in Athens.
The first serious doubts materialized in 2016, when the EU launched an infringement procedure against Hungary, urging Budapest to be more transparent in the public tender for the railway contract. Unsurprisingly, the bid was eventually secured by billionaire tycoon Lorinc Meszaros, a long-time friend and ally of Orban. Serbia, for its part, only started construction on its territory in 2017.
Budapest-Belgrade high-speed train: who will foot the bill?
Underneath the political rhetoric, whether in Beijing which presents the new railway as a crucial link in China's global BRI infrastructure project to bring Asia and Europe closer than ever, or in Budapest, where politicians have been patting themselves on the back for making Hungary a central player in trade between the EU and south-east Europe, worries surrounding the multi-billion project have been growing.
Sceptical analysts pointed out that the Budapest-Belgrade route was, simply put, an unprofitable project that only served those three countries' individual political interests in the short-term. More importantly, it might also plunge Hungary into a debt-trap: while well-connected tycoons might benefit from the contract, Hungarian taxpayers are the ones that could foot the massive bill in the long-run.
The government brushed off any type of criticism and concern, with Fidesz member Gabor Banyai saying that "Hungary would still be in the Middle Ages if all infrastructure investments had been decided on whether or not they pay off".
"For the Hungarian government, there are evidently political motivations in the background", Peter Balazs, head of the Centre of Neighbourhood Studies at CEU and former Hungarian EU Commissioner, said to BIRN. "The Budapest-Belgrade railway is just another opportunity for Orban to annoy the West and prove that he can have allies and partners outside the EU […] But in this case, I'm afraid the government wants to conceal something".
The fear of China's influence
From a geopolitical point of view, critics fear China, which has made this project its flagship initiative in Europe to promote its "New Silk Roads", may use, as it has in other countries, its financial leverage and economic clout to strengthen its political influence.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Chinese President Xi Jinping ahead of the Belt and Road summit in Beijing in 2017.
Gradually launched since Xi Jinping's rise to power, the Belt and Road Initiative, or New Silk Roads, aims to establish terrestrial and maritime links between China, Central Asia and Europe to consolidate Beijing's control over the global economy, trade flux and supply chains.
One of Xi's top priorities, this much-debated "new silk road" involves trillions of dollars in investment over the next years and decades and has divided EU member states. While some, like French President Emmanuel Macron, have urged to end Europe's "naiveté" and disillusions towards China, others have been advocating closer ties with the world's second-largest economy and see the new Silk Roads as a golden opportunity to do so.
Beijing has, in this context, been keen to foster closer ties with Central and Eastern European countries for whom, not only developing ties with China makes absolute sense for their export-oriented economies, but also sends a strong political message to Brussels, all the while securing massive bulks in funding without the usual EU strings attached. Hungary's Orban is a text-book example of this, but isn't the only one.
Concerns surrounding the endgame of the Budapest-Belgrade route only increased when taking into account Beijing's ideological approach in its global BRI endeavor. Made evident by the notorious "document 9" secret memo from the Chinese Communist Party leaked in 2013 – where constitutional democracy, universal human rights or freedom of the press were seen as mere "Western notions" that ought to be fought against and contained – China could be using its economic power to lay the groundwork for an ideological battleground.
"While China will be pleased to inaugurate the Budapest-Belgrade railway, that moment will have come a little too late", wrote The Diplomat's Andreea Brinza. "And nobody knows how many more years it will take until it will be extended to Piraeus, as was the original intention".
Despite all the delays and hurdles, obscure investments of this magnitude in self-professed "illiberal democracies" such as Hungary or Poland could open the door to China's political influence in these countries and further drive the EU's "East" and "West" apart. Under these circumstances, and considering that Central European countries' illiberal turn is, at least partially, a symptom of fears Western Europe has failed to comprehend and address to this day, no doubt would the EU become even more divided than it is today, and European construction suffer yet another blow.
This could leave the door wide open to China who, on the other hand, will be ready to "pay attention" to CEE countries' woes. And shower them with cash. Bulks of it.

I wonder if it is just me, but this feels like a crazy time. Sometimes the past seems like a foreign country, and the future is more uncertain than I can ever recall.
Life in this moment feels like being on a rafting trip on a Colorado river. We have been passing through wider, slower water, all the while we could hear an ominous roar in the distance. Now we have come around the bend and while it may feel like we are going over the falls, we are plunging through a narrower, faster moving rapids. It is stressful and scary sometimes, to be certain, but this is why we came in the first place, right? The scenery is no less beautiful here than it was back in the safer water. We just need to be reminded to glance up from time to time and take in the full view.
It is a crazy time, which is unprecedented in history. But I deeply believe that most of all it is a time of transformation. Something is changing. Something is dying, but something new is being born. By the grace of God we are called to this moment as midwives of the future God is creating.
Remember: God is good, work together and enjoy the ride!

Future #57: It's getting dark
This issue of Six Signals comes to you just two days before the autumnal equinox, so if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, your days have been and will continue to be getting shorter. It seems the news is following suit: we had a hard time finding a balance of light and dark this week, but between using an ancient ritual to confuse a self-driving car and the discovery of proto-sex in a Minecraft-like game for kids, we hope we got close. Read on for lots on Facebook and a compelling deep dive into delivery work.

1: Privacy isn't just for users
Earlier this month Ray-Ban shipped new line of glasses with tech embedded, allowing wearers to take pictures, shoot video, and listen to audio. These glasses were built in partnership with Facebook, hence the name: Ray-Ban Stories.
For the last decade there have been all kinds of wearable devices that can help us quantify our exercise, our health, and our moods. In looking at how those devices succeed or fail, Clive Thompson notices that cameras are often the worst thing that can be added, since they immediately turn a personal device into a possible surveillance vector. Earlier devices like Google Glass at least attempted to provide personal utilities like note-taking or search and retrieval of simple facts, but ultimately the camera became the focus (no pun intended). Thompson takes these signals and comes to an obvious conclusion:
Big tech firms have no interest in building technology that actually helps you think, which was the original vision of wearable computers. They just want you to wear something that feeds content to their ad-supported social networks.
→ Wearable computers should never have cameras | Clive Thompson
2: The Facebook Files
A pair of glasses with cameras in them was probably Facebook's least concern this week, however. The Wall Street Journal unspooled a series of investigative stories detailing how Facebook's policy of increasing engagement at all costs has led to real world consequences. What's worse, the Journal's reporting finds that senior executives — including Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg — were informed about and aware of these consequences, and consciously chose to ignore them. These consequences include:
Allowing high-profile VIPs to post disinformation, bullying, or other banned content and face no consequences.
Making one third of girls with body image issues feel worse about themselves after using Instagram.
Accelerating the viral distribution of hateful, vitriolic content because it showed the highest levels of user engagement.
Failing to act when criminal enterprises, including drug cartels and human traffickers, used Facebook's tools to conduct their illicit businesses.
At the heart of our work at EFL is a recognition that the pursuit of corporate goals can easily cause unintended harm, and that consideration of harm is a key step in designing and refining any good product. So we're not so quick to judge when a company unintentionally causes a negative impact, we do look very carefully at what they do when they become aware of it — how they seek to remedy harm and prevent similar outcomes in the future. What we're most surprised by in these stories is that overt steps were taken to ignore the harms that were identified and reported. In each of the cases above, Facebook leadership were made aware of the effects their tools and algorithms were having, and explicitly decided that the company's bottom line was more important than the health, mental well-being, and in some cases, even the lives of the people Facebook affected.

3: UN urges ban on harmful AI
Michelle Bachelet, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, called for a moratorium last week on AI applications that pose a risk to human rights. She explicitly called out facial recognition technology and urged that "governments should halt the scanning of people's features in real time until they can show the technology is accurate, won't discriminate and meets certain privacy and data protection standards." Her statement accompanied a new U.N. report that looks at how governments and businesses have rushed headlong into applications of AI that put citizens' basic human rights at risk, without putting appropriate regulations or safeguards in place.
While Bachelet calls out facial recognition technology, we can list dozens of AI applications that would fall under this umbrella, including these robots that Singapore is deploying in public spaces to report on "undesirable social activities" which range from public smoking to gatherings of more than 5 people (contrary to Covid-19 regulations).
For a couple of decades now, we've seen business interests jump on emerging technologies, while governments that should play a regulatory role lag dangerously behind their commercial counterparts. Just this week, Adam Mosseri of Instagram compared social media to cars — i.e., some people are going to get hurt by our product, but we think the value to society is worth it. In response, pretty much everyone replied: YES BUT CARS ARE INTENSIVELY REGULATED TO MINIMIZE HARM (and they may still be melting the planet). How might governments and civic agencies become better equipped to draft appropriate regulations in a more timely manner, since "move fast and break things" seems to be breaking far too many things?

4: Abundant, carbon-free power?
Fusion power has been a far off goal of scientific research since the 1960s, and has seen its fair share of hoaxes and setbacks. It remains a focus of experimentation, however, for the overwhelming benefits it could bring if it came true: namely abundant, waste-free electricity.
A brief lesson: fusion power is generated when hydrogen atoms are smashed together to form helium, as happens in our sun. The resultant hydrogen + helium plasma reaches temperatures of millions of degrees, so hot that no material can contain it, so a series of high-powered magnets would be used to hold the plasma in place and control the ongoing reactions. Until now experimental fusion reactors have used supercooled superconducting magnets. The additional energy needed to keep the magnets cool enough to operate made the power plan net negative — meaning it needed to consume more power to control the reaction than the reaction itself created.
Researchers at MIT have developed a new magnet that operates at far higher temperatures, using new experimental materials. With these magnets in production, it now seems possible to create a fusion reactor that would be net positive, creating more energy than it consumes and possibly leading to carbon-free electrical power. While full-scale reactors are a way off, researchers are excited that the largest challenge might have been solved. According to Brandon Sorbom, the chief scientist on the project, "basically the papers conclude that if we build the magnet, all of the physics will work in SPARC. So, this demonstration answers the question: Can they build the magnet?"

5: Essential workers are fed up
Since March of 2020, millions of people have relied on delivery workers for most of their households' needs, particularly for food delivery. Most deliveries are dispatched via gig platforms like Grubhub, Uber Eats, Caviar and others that obscure the critical and often dangerous work done by delivery workers. Now those workers are fighting back, creating grassroots support collectives, labor organizations, and techniques to ensure their physical security.
This deep dive in The Verge is full of amazing details, and the sheer ingenuity and creativity on display is remarkable. That said, it really shouldn't have been necessary. Workers previously had some level of support from restaurants, when those businesses managed their own delivery crews: they had a place to take breaks, use the restroom, grab a quick meal between runs, and fix up their bikes. With apps pushing such "inefficiencies" out of the system and cities doing nothing to support these workers (when they aren't actively hindering them through specious fines or confusing regulations) they had no choice but to create their own communities of support.
Read the whole thing before you order Chinese takeout, and look out for "science fiction but completely real" details like this one: "[Cesar] maintains his bike with the help of a traveling mechanic known only as Su, who broadcasts his GPS location as he roams upper Manhattan." It's like something straight out of a William Gibson novel, and not in a good way.

6: Every technology will eventually be used for sex
"A barely legible, pixelated, geometric image that seems to be a facsimile of a woman's body, clad in white thigh-high boots, twerking its bare ass." This is just one of the descriptions of strip clubs, "condo games", and other NSFW sex games that are apparently thriving on Roblox, according to Rolling Stone reporting. If you're not familiar, Roblox is a gaming platform that is known for being hugely popular with children — over half of its 160 million monthly users are under 16.
The article compares the awkwardly pixelated sex games on the platform to the chat-room cybersex that many bored teenagers experienced in the 80s and 90s. We appreciated that the piece didn't immediately jump to alarmist conclusions, but engaged in a debate about whether the Roblox activities fall into the "harmless sexual exploration" category or the "fertile ground for grooming and online predation" category. Like most things, it's almost certainly a bit of both. Once again, the concept of Roblox strip clubs proves that anything that can be used for sexual purposes will be, even a platform whose UX means that "sex" consists of "expression-less Lego creatures robotically rooting into each other's BandAid-colored flesh."

Q: How to connect AD Explorer from Sysinternals to Global Catalog I'm using the sysinternals AD Explorer quite frequently to search and inspect an Active Directory without any big problems.
But now i'd like to connect not only to a single AD Server. Instead i like to inspect the global catalog.
If i enter within the AD Explorer connect dialog only the dns name of the machine (e.g. dns.to.domain.controller) that is serving the global catalog i only receive the concrete domain for which it is responsible, but not the whole forest (that's normal behaviour and expected by me).
If i'm going to add the default port number (3268) for the global catalog in the form dns.to.domain.controller:3268 AD Explorer will simply crash without any further message.
The global catalog itself works as expected under the given name and port number, cause our apache server use exactly this address and port number to authenticate some users.

*

*So any hints or tips to access the global catalog out of AD Explorer?

*Or there are any other nice tools like AD Explorer out there that doesn't have any problems to access the global catalog?

A: While ADSI Edit is not as fancy as ADexplorer, it can work for your scenario.
Open ADSIEdit, right-click, and choose "Connect to." In the Connections Settings, click the "Advanced" button and change from "LDAP" to "Global Catalog." This will cause your connection to use port 3268 when you connect to your target server.
The "Path" in the connect to screen should've changed from LDAP//...... to GC://
If you wish, you can specify a server to connect to and fill in the Distinguished name or Naming context with something like: DC=mydomain,DC=local and under the computer node leave the defaults.

A: Just write in the IP-Adress without the port. ADExplore won't crash and list the Active Directory.
Alternative you can use the JXplorer. There you can add a specific port.


What a terrific year it was for the 2007-2008 Linus Pauling Early Bird Jazz Band! Here's the concert audio of our May 2008 Spring Concert - enjoy!!

Citation: Rodriguez-Pena, R., Jestrow, B., Meerow, A.W., Chase, T., Jimenez-Rodriguez, F., Griffith, P., Santiago-Valentin, F., Sustache-Sustache, J., Fransisco-Ortega, J. 2015. Genetic diversity and differentiation of Pseudophoenix (Arecaceae) in Hispaniola. Review Article. 176:469-485.
Interpretive Summary: Interpretive Abstract Pseudophoenix ekmanii Burret, P. lediniana Read, and P. vinifera (Mart.) Becc. (Arecaceae) are found only on Hispaniola. The more wide-ranging P. sargentii H.Wendl. ex Sarg. occurs on this island as well. The population genetic diversity and structure of Pseudophoenix was investigated using ten microsatellite DNA markers. The study focused on populations from Hispaniola but also included samples from other Caribbean islands. Results showed a great deal of inbreeding in all populations. Populations were highly differentiated. Results from genetic analyses identified groups that were consistent with currently accepted species delimitations. We included the only known population of a possibly undescribed taxon from the Dominican Republic. Results from the analyses suggested that this taxon is closely related to P. sargentii from the Turks and Caicos islands. Contrary to what was anticipated, protected areas do not harbor most of the genetic diversity of the genus. The Haitian endemic P. lediniana should have the highest priority for conservation because it is restricted to one population, it has a small number of individuals, and it exhibited reduced levels of genetic diversity. The putative new taxon from the Dominican Republic has similar conservation concerns. Future conservation efforts should aim to maintain population connectivity and increase population size, particularly targeting populations with low genetic diversity.
Technical Abstract: Technical Abstract Pseudophoenix ekmanii Burret, P. lediniana Read, and P. vinifera (Mart.) Becc. (Arecaceae) are endemic to Hispaniola. The more wide-ranging P. sargentii H.Wendl. ex Sarg. occurs on this island as well. The population genetic diversity and structure of Pseudophoenix was investigated using ten microsatellite loci. The study focused on populations from Hispaniola but also included samples from other Caribbean islands. Results showed homozygote excess and high inbreeding coefficients in all populations across all polymorphic loci. Populations were highly differentiated. Results from both Bayesian and Neighbor Joining cluster analyses identified groups that were consistent with currently accepted species delimitations. We included the only known population of a possibly undescribed taxon from the Dominican Republic. Results from the cluster analyses suggested that this putative taxon is closely related to P. sargentii from the Turks and Caicos islands. There was no a significant correlation between population size and observed heterozygosity. Contrary to what was anticipated, protected areas do not harbor most of the genetic diversity of the genus. The Haitian endemic P. lediniana should have the highest priority for conservation because it is restricted to one population, it has a small number of individuals, and it exhibited reduced levels of genetic diversity. The putative new taxon from the Dominican Republic has similar conservation concerns. Future conservation efforts should aim to maintain population connectivity and increase population size, particularly targeting populations with low genetic diversity.


I am excited about this post, yet nervous all at the same time. "Why?" you may ask. Well all of the following is based on second-hand knowledge.
You see, today marks the 35th anniversary of my Grandpa Denis Rihn's death. I am just over half of that time in years; therefore I never had the opportunity to meet him. But wow, was he handsome or what?!? The picture above is from their honeymoon to Bandera!
Since I was old enough to understand death and heaven and earth, I have known who will be waiting for me when I pass. That is my Grandpa Denis. Perhaps this is why I have never feared death. Granted, I have never been in danger of it, but in general it just doesn't come to mind.
Obviously I want to stay here on earth with those I love as long as possible, but at the same time, I can't wait to meet my grandpa! While in college, I took enough anthropology and political science classes to be told way too many times that my faith is a make-believe story used to manipulate my actions. But I'm okay with being told this a thousand more times, quite frankly. I choose to believe because I have something to look forward to.
Grandpa Denis and Granny were married in 1957. Little did they know, or maybe they really did, over the next 22 years they would have a table-full of kids: five daughters and three sons. My mom was in the eighth-grade, if I remember correctly, when her dad passed away. I remember her telling me that she was called out of P.E. to the office, where she found out. From that day on, a chord had been struck inside of me. I can't imagine the courage it took her to continue. I know that life goes on, but I just can't fathom what would be going through my mind if I were in that situation.
It humbles me to know that I have never been through such pain.
But you have to understand one thing about our family: we live, love, laugh and persevere! Anyone who knows me, knows that I will do just about anything for my family. When it all boils down, I took a job in San Antonio to be closer to them. I'd rather spend my Saturday nights sitting around the patio with my aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents then go out to a party or concert. Probably why when I think of who my best friends are, I think immediately of my family.
Driving into work this morning, I was thinking about Grandpa. For instance, I wonder what he would have wanted us to call him. He only got the chance to meet one of his grandkids. So I'll have to ask Granny what he thought about that. Because I am hoping it wouldn't have been Grandpa. Either him or Grandpa Tschirhart would have had to come up with something different, because it is hard enough to distinguish between the two even in this short post! Just kidding I would have loved to call him anything and everything and give him a big ole hug!
Anyways, I know as he looks down on us, he's pretty darn proud.
A husband and a wife turns into eight kids fast. And eight kids turned into 18 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren in no time at all!
I would put money that our big family what he ideally had in mind from the start. I mean we are indeed big enough to have two softball teams with plenty of runners for the old farts!
Talking about Grandpa reminds me of reading a novel, in that, I never saw him in person. I have never heard his voice or tone. I didn't get to witness faces he made when he was happy, surprised, annoyed, upset, proud, etc. So it's sort of like when you read a book you are using your imagination to an extent to piece together the details.
Luckily, when we get together as a family and the beer-drinking takes us into the night, the good stories usually come out. I only wish I would remember to record them!
My Tschirhart grandparents were good friends with my Granny and Grandpa Rihn. In fact, my granny and grandma lived in San Antonio together and both worked downtown for the telephone company. I talked with Grandma and Grandpa today about Grandpa Denis. Each time I hear anything about him, I am all ears. Every little detail just adds a layer to the character in my head!
So picture this: it's right around 1956 in Castroville, Texas. It's a hot, Sunday afternoon in August just after the St. Louis Church picnic. A new Elvis Presley movie is at the Rainbow Theater, the movie may have been Love Me Tender. And four of those attendees are all of my grandparents. They were on a double-date of sorts. My grandma is pretty sure it may have been one of Granny and Grandpa Rihn's first dates. A number of double-dates would follow. However, Grandpa made it clear it was always Joyce and Marian (my granny and grandma) that wanted to go to the movies. Grandpa (Alex) said him and Denis (my grandpa Rihn) would have been just as happy just drinking beer!
I have always considered myself extremely fortunate. The good Lord blessed me with an amazing family that I know will have my back through thick and thin. Granny, Grandpa & Grandma mean the world to me. Through their stories, love and laughter I find my Grandpa Denis smiling right back at me.
Previous Article← Have you saved a life lately?
Alyx, that was beautifully stated by an even more beautiful young woman! My memories of your dad include meeting at the family beer joint and piling into his old pickup truck for Halloween. Rihn's Place has always been a favorite of mine, from childhood till present. I used to beg for quarters, Grapette's, Orange Crush's and Big Reds there. I played pool, hide and seek, and house there. Your dad was there so much of the time. One of my favorite holiday memories is Halloween. I remember my dad and Beth Ann's dad bringing us to the Rihn house. We would pile into the back of Denis' truck and travel around the huge metropolis of Lacoste for hours! We had our favorite houses to visit for Trick Or Treat. We would venture into the country down lower Lacoste Road and our bags were overflowing with candy and homemade goodies.
Denis is proudly watching his family from heaven. I love your family Cuz and we all miss him!
Your Grandpa Denis was my godfather and I remember him fondly. I remember my Mom, Helen, telling me that when Uncle Denis visited us once, after I starting talking, he asked her, "Doesn't she ever shut up?" I can remember when your Memaw and Grandpa were dating and how happy I was when I found out they were getting married because I loved your Memaw so much and I knew they would be happy together….and they were! My Dad, your Uncle Jerome, loved him and missed him terribly after he died. I remember that Uncle Denis loved, loved, loved to tease us…he just thought that was such great fun, and he would always end the teasing with his funny little giggle, thinking he was so funny. I think of him often and fondly.
So glad you are writing this story. I, unfortunately, waited too long to develop an interest in my family's past. So many questions that will never get answered. I never met my dad's parents because they were both deceased before my parents married. I can only guess as to what kind of parents they were because I never asked my dad about them. Keep writing your beautiful stories, Alyx.
Alyx this is such a heart warming stories and Your Grandpa & I can relate to it all because we were honored to know your Grandpa Denis and Granny Joyce. Joyce is one special person.

Paint like Sargent at Vizcaya
Did you know that visitors can paint en plein air in the gardens and follow in the footsteps of American watercolorist John Singer Sargent?
Sargent and Vizcaya
Sargent came to Miami in 1917 to visit James Deering's brother, Charles, at the Deering Estate. The visit was supposed to be a short one, but when Charles brought him to Vizcaya, Sargent extended his stay by weeks to paint here.
The result was a breathtaking collection of works, many of which you can find at the Met and the Art Institute of Chicago. Sargent painted the Barge under construction, sculptures, and even staff lounging on a private staff beach.
Source: The Art Institute of Chicago
Sargent also painted a portrait of James Deering, a copy of which hangs outside Deering's bedroom.
How You Can Paint at Vizcaya
Vizcaya has been a source of inspiration and creativity for its visitors, even before if became a public museum in 1954. You can continue following this tradition by sketching and painting in the gardens.
As Vizcaya is a National Historic Landmark, please note that only select materials are approved for use on site. Plan your artist date in advance by reviewing the approved list of materials here.

Whirly Fizzzle said: "Does disabling Http Pipelining fix the problem for you? " so I set that to false, cleared cache and relogged. When I returned the previous distorted items were normal but other items were now gone. https://gyazo.com/10c53d658d5f9484f3e7aebccda5cfc5 pots and pans now missing, corner cabinet is not rezzing though if I clean the area I see the yellow outlines indicating it is there. Baskets on my walls...one is rezzed the other is not. This is with pipelining set to false. https://gyazo.com/89733cac805dc2ae367e7f6daec59aa7 right basket is missing at about 10m, then as I get closer it turns to that triangular setting, then when I get really close the right basket comes in perfect. The left one does not rez at any distance. I did notice last night that a few things in my kitchen were rezzing the opposite, like far away I could see them but when I got closer they would disappear, which has never happened before. While looking at this basket I noticed if I get close to the left of it, it looks like triangles https://gyazo.com/d0e5521627e796d4212a65c525a46943....if I pan to the right, the weave looks normal https://gyazo.com/3f759c12157d0e2c511e020da4f72ffc. As for game booster, network booster or driver helper I only know that I purchased this cyberpowerpc a few years ago specifically to use for 3d gaming (second life) and it came with everything installed. I have not downloaded any other kind of booster, myself. When I go into start and search the word "booster" so as far as I know I only have the standard windows firewall and malwarebytes.
Thank you Hunni, I belong to the FS support group and people have been very helpful there. I am crossing my fingers because the only thing on your list I had not tried is the whole whitelisting thing...since I never had to do that before I did not think that could be the issue, but I have followed the instructions to the letter and have logged back into SL and it was very fast in loading textures....faster than I have ever seen it. I walked around my home and everything looked just as it should, I had no rainbow textures and everything was rezzed and rezzed quickly. Honestly can't remember the last time SL rezzed this fast....and with an empty cache. I mean, I did a clean install and deleted EVERYTHING. Only time will tell but wow, it looks really clean right now. TY so much for your time Hunni!!!
I have been to SL hell and back in SL for several weeks. It all seemed to start when I got the Windows blue screen of death which said memory management error. It only happened once but it shut down my computer. At that point I did a full windows system scan and everything came up fine. I then updated my windows and nvidia graphics driver. I logged into SL and all was fine for a bit. Then all of a sudden I stopped seeing mesh the same way. Parts of my body or other objects would appear as flat or shard like with a texture on it. I have done clean installs of both the older version of FS and the new beta version. This last clean install I also cleared my backup as I began to believe it was a corrupted file that I was somehow reloading. I have done ping tests, restarted my router and modem, no issues found with that. I have done everything on the FS site in regards to mesh rezzing issues and fetching. My packeting is 0% at last look but has been .01% or .02% in the last few weeks. I logged into the SL viewer (very recent download as I have used Firestorm for years), and it showed one particular item as normal yet many textures were rainbows and it was not loading very quickly. My PC stats: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (3492.06 MHz) Memory: 24536 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit (Build 17134.471) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 (latest driver as of 1/14/19) Packets Lost: 0/4,794 (0.0%) as of 1/14/19 Memory diagnostics on my PC shows no problems. Windows device manger/display adapters shows that the Nvidia GeForece GTX 1050 Ti is working properly. Graphics in all other applications is displaying correctly. If I delete all caches and relog I may have a few hours without any mesh issues, but at some point something will not rez correctly and once it is distorted the only thing that will clear it is to clear the caches or delete them. If I simply log off and then back on, it will not fix the distortion. It is never the same object, always something new that chooses to shard. Here are a few pictures of what is happening from Gyazo. Firestorm: https://gyazo.com/9115ac6a374ed12e16c85163518b5e7c same item in the SL Viewer: https://gyazo.com/6486b66db6459e59f8e455ea18a4c85a Firestorm: This is a mesh life ring... https://gyazo.com/1b9e4db3ae42fcbba73f4f1f02566288 Firestorm: https://gyazo.com/f961e145371f3b17210b5102eef30715 my hair was floating and was flat textures Firestorm: https://gyazo.com/6401351cf0ef6094d63cc9ad4a918ec2 my leg had a shard with the texture on it. Firestorm: https://gyazo.com/d9fbaa4e21b18ff9e2a491f41a6a50a4 part of my head was missing. In all of these cases I cleared or deleted cache files and when I logged back in the item would be fixed, but something else would be messed up. I am at my wits end. I have a lovely SL home and it is hard to enjoy things when you can't see all the beauty that has been created in SL. I don't know what else to try because I am still unsure if it is my PC, my graphics card (which is only 1 year old), or a Firestorm setting. I have had many people try to help me with the issue and have tried all that anyone knows to try. I remain stumped and so do many people who have a lot more knowledge than I do about PCs, Firestorm, and SL. I only hope that someone in this forum can help me figure out what is making my SL so frustrating. Thank you so much for reading this post!!! HELP!!!!


Thread: The Boy Who Cried Worf: Star Trek TNG Trivia QUIZ!
Please take the quiz if you're so inclined, and feel free to post your results or discuss the questions/answers here.
If you have not yet taken the quiz, and intend to, please do so before reading this thread, as there may be spoilers contained wherein.
I know I haven't watched the series for at least 15 years, but I'm embarrassed to only have gotten about half of them right. I'm pretty sure I got plotlines right but missed detail questions (like dates and StarFleet ranks).
I know I haven't watched the series for at least 15 years, but I'm embarrassed to only have gotten about half of them right.
Still, nice job tossing in Famke Janssen in there.
I made some of these questions pretty tough, so don't feel bad. I've looked at the scores, and so far no one has really knocked this one out of the park yet! If you can get about half of them right, you're somewhere around the 99.9th percentile of TNG, for all humans.
I'm a little disappointed in myself, but then again I haven't really watched the show since I was a teenager.
36% which is way higher than I expected; I blindly guessed on all but the first few questions.
I liked TNG well enough, back in the day, but I was never a superfan.
My superfandom of Star Trek begins and ends with Wrath of Khan.
Once a few more people have taken the quiz, I'll post answers/explanations in this thread, with spoiler tags.
...if you say it, she may come.
The storylines had some super awesome themes proving that SF is very down-to-Earth.
Her TNG knowledge was always massively overstated.

When it comes down to the holiday-gift-buying wire, you might lament our consumer culture - or your own bad planning. Either way, it's time to start making excuses - or get to the mall.
Xbox 360 - Can't produce a PlayStation 3? Wonder where to find a Wii? Don't forget that Microsoft's machine remains available at most gaming outlets ($299 for the core system, $399 for the version with a hard drive).
DS Lite - Mocked as a dual-screen gimmick when it was released two years ago, the DS has grown into the most compelling game platform on the market. Although titles such as "Brain Age," "Elite Beat Agents" and "Club House Games" might lack big-budget appeal, they won't fail to wrap up your attention for days of portable pleasure (DS Lite, $129.99; "Brain Age," $19.95; "Elite Beat Agents," $29.99; "Club House Games," $29.99).
"Gears of War" - Some people think that video games are too violent. The people who make "Gears" think of violence as an art form. Refining the run-and-gun pleasures of other shooter games, this Xbox 360 title lets you save the world in the most challenging and exciting ways imaginable ($59.99, Xbox 360).
"Viva Pinata" - As if to prove the point that games can contain more than bombs and bullets, imagine a game where players cultivate a fantastic farm of living pinatas. A strange take on the sim genre, this Xbox 360 title offers something to gamers of all ages ($49.99, Xbox 360).
"Guitar Hero II"- Pretend to be a six-string virtuoso on a PlayStation controller that looks like a guitar, and say goodbye to your air-guitar days. For that matter, say goodbye to your free time as well, once you pick up this addictive title (Game and controller bundle, $79.99, PS2).
"Karaoke Revolution" or "SingStar Rocks" - Not a guitar player? "Karaoke Revolution" for the Xbox and PS2 or "SingStar Rocks" for the PS2 lets you warble along with the hits ("Karaoke Revolution," editions range from $19.99-$49.99, Xbox and PS2; "SingStar Rocks," $49.99, PS2).
"Sid Meier's Civilization Chronicles" - With four complete versions of the venerated classic in your possession, you might not need another PC game for the rest of the year. And when conquering the world grows tiresome, try monopolizing the rails with "Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon" ("Civilization Chronicles," $69.99; "Railroad Tycoon," $39.99, PC).
Pelican Nerf Pad - Take a wireless PlayStation 2 controller, wrap it up in Nerf foam, and what do you get? A comfortable game pad that will bounce, rather than shatter, when your enthusiasm overcomes your sense, and the controller goes sailing across the room ($29.99).
"Desperate Housewives" - While the community of gamers and the community of people who watch this show don't overlap, that might change. Fans of the show will appreciate this salacious "Sims" knockoff, even if it is a game ($19.99, PC).
"Books by You" - No kid likely will care about the celebrity tie-in between this product and actor John Lithgow. But the ability to easily create, and even print, a custom story in book form will please budding authors ($19.99, Mac and PC).
