Chris Samnee: Buffy is back!!
It's official, Dark Horse's Scott Allie announced in San Diego that Buffy is coming back to comics with none other than Joss Whedon himself behind the wheel. Laura and I are HUGE Buffy geeks so this is major news for us, and since it's set in continuity as "season 8" it just makes it that much cooler. Here's a drawing of Buffy (aka Sarah Michelle Gellar) to commemorate the news.


When thinking about a design for Don Giovanni one always has to decide first how the opera ends and exactly what is happening: is the Don really dammed by a living ghost statue and dispatched to a fiery hell by gleeful demons OR are these events just hallucinations, the psychic aberrations of a serial sexual predator with a diseased and deranged mind? Deciding the outcome of this scene determines the world of the opera: is this a rational cause-and-effect world or a dark shadowy place beset with supernatural creatures capable of revenge, retribution, and Devine intervention?
This production used computer-controlled machinery to rotate three large towers into differing configurations creating a dark world with hidden mysteries.

Q: Can connect to local MySql database on remote server through Workbench but not Node.js I am trying to connect to a mysql database over a remote connection with Node using the packages 'ssh2' and 'mysql2'. My code for connecting looks like below:
ssh.on('ready', () => {
  var db_connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 3306,
    user: 'myDBuser',
    password: 'myDBusersPassword'
  });

  db_connection.connect();

// The SSH connection is not the issue, so assume correct configuration and working connection
}).connect(sshConfig);

When I use the exact same credentials in MySql workbench, I am able to connect to the remote sql server just fine. However, when running this code, I am met with the following error:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306

  errno: -61,
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 3306,
  fatal: true

Does anyone know why Node would have issues with connecting to the remote SQL server? I assume that it is not even passing my credentials to the server and is outright rejecting the connection from the start.

LeBron James Left Lakers-Warriors After He 'Felt A Pop' In His Groin Area
by: Brad RowlandTwitter December 25, 2018
The first two and a half quarters went very well for the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day. Though the team arrived in Oakland as significant underdogs against the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers put on an offensive show prior to halftime and, with 7:51 remaining in the third quarter, Los Angeles led by a 14-point margin.
However, the Lakers suffered a loss at that particular moment in the game, as LeBron James was forced to the locker room with what what was eventually deemed a groin injury.

LeBron James is heading to the back with athletic trainers Marco Nunez and Mike Mancias after it appears that he pulled his groin.
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) December 26, 2018
Though specifics were not immediately available, James was seemingly seen mouthing "I felt a pop" when explaining what transpired.

Before he exited, James scored 17 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out five assists, operating as the best player on the floor in a game that featured the reigning NBA champions on the opposite side. While the Lakers scored the first basket after their leading scorer went to the locker room, the Warriors immediately reeled off a 16-3 run, jumping back into contention and reaffirming what any kind of absence from James would mean to the Lakers.
Eventually, the Lakers announced that James' preliminary diagnosis is a strained left groin. There's not word on whether he'll be able to play in the team's upcoming games, but for now, he is questionable to return.
Official update from Lakers: LeBron James has a strained left groin and is questionable to return.
— Bill Oram (@billoram) December 26, 2018
James has been a virtually indestructible force throughout his 16-year NBA career but, in short, the fallout from this particular injury could be significant.

Edinburgh, UK – Changes in the brain's structure that could be the result of depression have been identified in a major scanning study.
Alterations were found in parts of the brain known as white matter, which contains fibre tracts that enable brain cells to communicate with one another by electrical signals.
White matter is a key component of the brain's wiring and its disruption has been linked to problems with emotion processing and thinking skills.
The study of more than 3000 people – the largest of its type to date – sheds light on the biology of depression and could help in the search for better diagnosis and treatment.
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh used a cutting-edge technique known as diffusion tensor imaging to map the structure of white matter.
A quality of the matter – known as white matter integrity – was reduced in people who reported symptoms indicative of depression. The same changes were not seen in people who were unaffected.
Depression is the world's leading cause of disability, affecting around a fifth of UK adults over a lifetime. Symptoms include low mood, exhaustion and feelings of emptiness.
Experts say the large number of people included in the sample – 3461 – means that the study findings are very robust.
Participants were drawn from UK Biobank, a national research resource with health data available from 500,000 volunteers.
The study forms part of a Wellcome Trust initiative called Stratifying Resilience and Depression Longitudinally (STRADL), which aims to classify subtypes of depression and identify risk factors.
Heather Whalley, Senior Research Fellow in the University of Edinburgh's Division of Psychiatry, said: "This study uses data from the largest single sample published to date and shows that people with depression have changes in the white matter wiring of their brain.
The work – published in Scientific Reports – was carried out in collaboration with the University of Glasgow.

Q: What is a ContentProvider and what is it typically used for? i'm beginner in android development, need help regarding ContentProvider.
public class My Application extends  ContentProvider {}

A: A content provider component supplies data from one application to others on request. one application cannot directly access (read/write) other application's data. Every application has its own id data directory and own protected memory area.
Content provider is the best way to share data across applications. Content provider is a set of data wrapped up in a custom API to read and write. Applications/Processes have to register themselves as a provider of data.
In simple language you can say content provider is a shared database which expose his properties and on there behalf of them other application can access and store the data as per the implementation privilege

A: Content providers can help an application manage access to data stored by itself, stored by other apps, and provide a way to share data with other apps. They encapsulate the data, and provide mechanisms for defining data security. Content providers are the standard interface that connects data in one process with code running in another process. Implementing a content provider has many advantages. Most importantly you can configure a content provider to allow other applications to securely access and modify your app data.
It is not that they are used only to share data with other applications. You may still use them because they provide a nice abstraction, but you don't have to necessarily share data with other apps. This abstraction allows you to make modifications to your application data storage implementation without affecting other existing applications that rely on access to your data
You can get more info from the documentation.

A: A ContentProvider manages access to a structured set of data. It encapsulates the data and provide mechanisms for defining data security. ContentProvider is the standard interface that connects data in one process with code running in another process.

According to Hinduism everyone must reap the results of their past Karma. One must acknowledge the influence of tendencies inherited from past births. Pleasure and pain are inevitable when one accepts a body. Sri Ramakrishna used to illustrate this through a variety of examples. In the famous poem "Chandi", composed by Kavi Kankan, the hero Kalu although born as a result of a boon of the Divine Mother, was yet sent to prison and made to suffer there. Again, another devotee by name Srimanta had to suffer endlessly although his mother Khullana was very devoted to the Divine Mother. Sri Ramakrishna would also site an instance of the woodcutter who because of his devotion to the Divine Mother had Her vision, but still had to continue his profession of woodcutting and earn his livelihood. Again, in the Bhagavata Purana it is mentioned that Devaki and Vasudev, the parents of Lord Krishna, were in prison at the time of his birth. They had the vision of Lord Vishnu who appeared before them with four hands, holding a mace, a discus, a conch shell and a lotus respectively. They were in ecstasy, yet they could not get out of the prison and had to suffer there.
Thus Sri Ramakrishna would point out that pleasure and pain cannot be avoided in this world. Human life is a complex game of opposites determined by various factors including results of actions of past births which is also called Prarabdha Karma in the Shastras. Apparently favourable circumstances of birth, affluence, etc. do not rule out pain or suffering. Hence, according to Sri Ramakrishna one should not be bothered too much by these and should earnestly endeavor not to be attached to the resultant effects of Karma. One should be focused on the one and only purpose of human birth namely realization of God or Ultimate Truth.


SHOPPING AT BUGIS. So I actually went on a shopping trip to find a dress for my brother's upcoming ROM happening this Sunday. Tried finding at Orchard and all but couldn't find any that caught my eye, so I ended up at Bugis again. This time round, I have to say that the new wave of apparels was pretty refreshing. Lots of candy colors and you can even find the current trend of army camo look and all there now.
I came back with lots of shopping bags that I had to get boyfriend to save me and pick me up. Bought tank tops, shorts, dresses, bags, iPhone cases and all. I think they were really pretty especially my new shorts in pastel colors.
Thought of doing a video to share about my shopping haul but the original video came up to 7 minutes long! In which I realised I talked quite a bit of non-related topics like a long winded auntie lol. I don't take videos very often but they were hard work.
#1 Stutters in video.. #2 Camera went on auto sleep mode.. #3 Battery went flat.. #4 Ummm uhmm ahhh..... *retakes video* fml. So I editted, cut, and split them all into a shorter video - which had also resulted in the multiple blips hahaha my apologies.
I don't know why, but from the video it became evident that my favourite phrase is "So anyway....." lol. For disclaimer purposes, I still have fillers on my teeth for braces where I can't close my bite completely - so I cant pronounce the alphabet 'S' clearly and all. But hope you like the video of my shopping haul! It's only my second attempt at vlogs but I hope I did okay.
For the shorts, other than the 3 colors which I bought, it also came in light blue and pink. Just in case you all might be too lazy to watch the video, the cheapest price I got was at $12 each at the last lane of Bugis street. If the sizes are sold out you can also find them at $15 and $20 on the 2nd and 3rd floor of Bugis street respectively. I guess you have to pay more if you want to shop in air conditioned comfort hahaha. But yeah, those prices are only applicable if you purchase them in pairs.
Other than that, have a lovely weekend ahead!
Fab blog, I love the iPhone case; it is so gorgeous. Also I love the colours.

5 Die in Wreck on Family 'Dream Trip' to Disney World
By Todd L. Davis

5 Family Members Killed on Trip to Disney World
http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/5-Die-in-Wreck-During-Family-Trip-to-Florida-283363201.html
Three children and two adults were killed when a North Texas family's vehicle veered off the interstate and rolled over during a family trip to Disney World, Louisiana state police said. (Published Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014)
Three children and two adults were killed when a North Texas family's vehicle veered off the interstate and rolled over during a family trip to Disney World, Louisiana state police said.
The family's 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe was driven by 16-year-old Andrew Hardman, who likely fell asleep at the wheel just before 11 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 20 near Calhoun, state police spokesman Michael Reichardt said.
"Our heartfelt condolences go out to all of the people affected by this tragic crash," said Colonel Mike Edmonson, Louisiana State Police Superintendent.
Troopers said the teen drove left into the median and then tried to turn back onto the highway but overcorrected, causing the SUV to roll over. The driver, who Reichardt said was wearing his seatbelt, was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.
Authorities identified the adults killed as Michael and Trudi Hardman of Terrell. The children killed were Kaci Hardman, 4, Adam Hardman, 7, and Dakota Watson, 15.
Three children who wore seatbelts survived the crash. The 16-year-old driver, Andrew, and 12-year-old Hunter Watson were treated at a nearby hospital and released Thursday, according to Michael Hardman's brother Timothy. Aaron Hardman, 12, is in critical condition at a Shreveport hospital.

Authorities said six people who weren't wearing seat belts were ejected from the vehicle.
"I cannot stress enough the importance of wearing a seat belt anytime you are in a vehicle," Edmonson said.
The crash remains under investigation. Andrew Hardman was charged with misdemeanor careless operation of a vehicle following the crash, Reichardt said.

The Hardmans
Michael Hardman was a second-grade teacher at John F. Kennedy Elementary School and Trudi, 41, was a kindergarten teacher at Willis Point Primary School, district officials said. Michael was also his sons' little league baseball coach.
"He never turned a kid away," Timothy Hardman said. "Michael probably had the biggest heart of anybody you ever knew. He just loved kids."
Traveling Nurse Accused of Sexually Abusing Patients
Timothy Hardman said his brother married Trudi about five years ago. Michael had three boys from a previous marriage, while Trudi had two boys from a previous marriage. The couple had a daughter, Kaci, together, he said.
"Our hearts ache as we try to wrap our minds around the tragic loss of our beautiful, blended family," Trudi Hardman's stepbrother D.J. Hart said.
Timothy Hardman said his brother's family scheduled the trip about nine months ago, and had planned to stay at Disney World for a week.
"They've always talked about it," he said. "It was their dream trip. It was an opportunity for them to take all of their kids."
Terrell Independent School District Superintendent Michael French said a counselor contacted the parents of students in Michael Hardman's class to let them know about his death, and counselors also are available to support both staff and students.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family members, colleagues, students and friends," he said. "We must lift each other up during this difficult time," French said.
The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help the family pay with burials, medical expenses and to prepare for the future for the three surviving children
"The loving family of 8 was looking forward to spending Thanksgiving break at the happiest place on earth: Walt Disney World," Hart said. "En route, God had other plans as 5 members of our family are now enjoying an even happier place."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested dozens of individuals who came forward to house undocumented migrant children, charging them for their own immigration violations.
Since the Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy that separated thousands of families at the border, the number of migrant children in government care has skyrocketed, reaching the highest numbers ever recorded. According to The New York Times, nearly 13,000 children are in the custody of Health and Human Services as of this month.
Relatives or family friends of a migrant child can apply to sponsor them, giving the child somewhere to live other than a government detention center while they await their day in immigration court. A new policy, however, requires all potential sponsors to undergo a fingerprint-based background check. This new process has allowed ICE to determine if the sponsors themselves are undocumented immigrants.
According to an anonymous ICE officer who spoke to CNN, just 12 of those arrests were criminal; the remaining 29 were for immigration violations. Under the Obama administration, an individual's immigrant status was not pertinent to their eligibility to care for a migrant child, and ICE did not prioritize these individuals. While this HHS policy is still in place, ICE is now using the sponsor applications to track down undocumented immigrants.
This practice vastly limits the number of available sponsors, however, leaving more children in government care. The financial burden of caring for so many has led the Trump administration to transfer more than $260 million away from programs like cancer research, HIV/AIDS prevention, and refugee support in order to care for the migrant children in detention, CNN reports.

Human intuition is without a doubt one of the greatest achievements in the history of evolution. Paired with some strategical thinking, it helps us to quickly make decisions without having to consider every possible action. Intuition allows us to play the game of Go nearly as well as a computer network consisting of 1202 processors and 176 graphics cards, to learn and speak languages fluently (even those with a highly complicated underlying grammatical structure), or to evaluate risks the second they manifest. However, despite its usefulness, human intuition is definitely not flawless, especially in situations that are relatively new to mankind (i.e., that have not been around for thousands of years). Luckily, we have reason to deal with these cases, but this requires some more work.
One particular thing that humans are generally pretty bad at is making decisions that may have a life-changing impact when small probabilities are involved. When using simple intuition, the actual probability (whether given or estimated from a frequency of events) becomes less and less important the more extreme it gets, and the outcome of the decision becomes dominated by all kinds of biases.
Outcome bias: the notion to only take into account the possible outcomes of the decision (i.e., buying a lottery ticket), while disregarding or misjudging their corresponding likelihood. Either you win, or you lose, or also: winning the jackpot makes my life much better, while spending 1€ on the ticket barely affects me.
Some sort of selection bias: Someone winning the lottery will be reported on the news (or will at least be talked about in their social environment), and winning the lottery has a huge emotional impact. This is why we tend to ignore the millions of losers while focusing on a few winners, and put ourselves in their shoes.
(Non-)zero-risk bias: If one doesn't play the lottery, there is no way they can win - buying a ticket will give them a chance at the jackpot, how slim it may be (even though the money could be spent better). Someone is going to win the lottery, so it could as well be me.
Both biases are naturally strongest when considering low-probability, high-impact events.
Outcome bias: Going outside can get you killed, while staying at home seems safe, whatever the chances are.
Selection bias: Without a doubt, terrorist attacks and their victims receive massive media attention, triggering human empathy, and making terrorist attacks seem like something that could happen to anyone, anytime.
Zero-risk bias: People would rather reduce the risk of being killed in an attack to zero (by staying at home) than taking this slim risk and, e.g., quit smoking (which increases life expectancy by a much larger amount, but does not eliminate the risk of falling ill with lung cancer entirely).
Of course, these cognitive biases are by far not the whole truth why terrorist attacks are scary. One very important aspect is also the lack of feeling in charge or being familiar with the situation. This is also the main reason why people tend to be much more scared of crashes with an airplane compared to crashes with a car. In an airplane, or a terrorist attack, there is nothing much you can do apart from praying or running for your life, while in a dangerous situation involving a car you have the *illusion of being in charge (obviously, there are many car accidents that no one saw coming, or were able to prevent).
It is very human to not be afraid in everyday situations where you have some way to react, or where one has the feeling that fate lies in their own hands (*I am not going to get cancer, since I've never smoked in my life). This feeling of safety is obviously false, but it is what gets us out of bed every day, and there is no evolutionary need to be afraid.
This diagram shows how irrational a fear of terrorism really is - it causes an absolute minor contribution to the total deaths in Western Europe, of about 1 in 10 Million people. In comparison, lung cancer accounts for over 5000 times as many fatalities. Smoking increases the risk to fall ill with lung cancer by about 1000%. If everyone stopped smoking, about 16% of all deaths could be prevented - in contrast to the 0.001% of deaths that could be prevented by if no terroristic attacks were taking place.
This huge disparity shows the power of cognitive biases at work. Because terroristic attacks receive immense media coverage, because they create so much empathy with their victims, and because none of us is familiar with this kind of threat, they are perceived as unproportionally dangerous to each and every one of us, while their real threat is far less severe.
Fear of terrorism is not only dangerous because you could be missing out on some fun if you're staying at home. It causes overreactions, irrational behavior, blaming innocent people as scapegoats. It blurs people's view, de-empathizes, and radicalizes them. It is also the main reason why these terroristic crimes are committed in the first place.
A terrorist probably has the immediate goal to kill as many people has possible. The actual goals with this action are diverse; on one hand, they may want to fulfill some kind of sacred mission and become a hero by killing non-believers. On the other hand, they want to create awareness for their cause and provoke the western society into making mistakes. The more violent the West's reaction on a terroristic attack is, the more people the terrorists will be able to recruit. The main goal behind a terroristic attack is to cause fear, chaos, and mayhem. Don't let them win.
1 Of course, there are indeed situations where playing the lottery can be a quite a good idea. For example, if you happen to live by the credo "get rich or die trying", i.e., you consider your life a complete failure in case you don't have six figures on your account by the time you die. In this case, playing the lottery might be an appropriate - though a little desperate - strategy.
2 I won't call my analysis unbiased, since there is no such thing when humans are involved.

Q: Reuse code on MVP pattern I have an user registration functionality on my MVP pattern project and also a problem.
User registration can me made in some different places, and depending on where it is, some fields are required or not.
For example, if the user is being registered on the web, a credit card information is required but it is not required it the registration is being made the admin area.
I'm not sure how to make this, how to impose this rule.
thanks!

A: As @Adam Rackis said, your question is a bit vague, but I'll take a guess at what you mean.
If you're just trying to remove some fields from the form, just add a conditional to your view:
@if(!Model.inAdminArea)
{
<!-- put credit card field, etc here -->
}

Depending on your model's validation settings, you may need to modify the model to create dummy entries for those fields so that you don't get validation errors.
But, this seems like I'm oversimplifying - add some detail to your question.

A: First I would recommend the interface segregation principle when dealing with views:
public interface IForm{
event EventHandler Submit;
event EventHandler Cancel;
}
public interface IFormData{
 TDto Item {get;set;}
}
Then use a derived interface:
public interface MyFormInterface : IFormData , IForm
{}
Then also presenters can be based on scenarios only and remain domain agnostic.
etc...
Hope this helps!

A: It sounds like you need to have multiple Views and Presenters. The Views can possibly follow some inheritance chain to gain reuse on the Views.
// Base requirements for user registration.
public interface IUserRegistrationView {
    string FirstName { get; }
    string LastName { get; }
    string EmailAddress { get; }
    string Password { get; }
}

public interface ISelfRegistrationView : IUserRegistrationView {
    string CreditCardNumber { get; }
    CardType CreditCardType { get; }
    DateTime CreditCardExpirationDate { get; }
}

Then you will need two presenters. One for Admin registrations and another for Self Registrations.
As long as your have a supporting business service of some sort to do the actual work (creating users) - then you can do something like this...
public class AdminRegisterNewUserPresenter : BasePresenter
{
    private readonly IUserRegistrationView view = null;
    public AdminRegisterNewUserPresenter(IUserRegistrationView view) { this.view = view; }

    public void RegisterNewUser()
    {
        try
        {
            UserBusinessService service = new UserBusinessService();
            service.AdminRegisterNewUser(this.view.FirstName,
                this.view.LastName, this.view.EmailAddress, this.view.Password);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            base.HandleError(e);
        }
    }
}

public class SelfRegistrationPresenter : BasePresenter
{
    private readonly ISelfRegistrationView view = null;
    public SelfRegistrationPresenter(ISelfRegistrationView view) { this.view = view; }

    public void RegisterNewUser()
    {
        try
        {
            UserBusinessService service = new UserBusinessService();
            service.NewUserSelfRegistration(this.view.FirstName,
                this.view.LastName, this.view.EmailAddress, this.view.Password,
                this.view.CreditCardNumber, this.view.CreditCardType, this.view.CreditCardExpirationDate);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            base.HandleError(e);
        }
    }
}

Q: Why isn't ray optics applicable for marginal rays? I have been studying light and going a little bit ahead I studied about ray optics and one thing each book had in notes is ray optics is applicable only for paraxial rays not marginals rays, I was wondering why not for marginal rays. I googled it and got answer but their language was very complexed and I simply could not understand them

A: I guess your book is talking about the paraxial approximation, which supposes that $\sin(x)\approx x$ (this is motivated because you take the first term of the Taylor expansion $\sin(x)=x+\frac{x^3}{3!}+\dots$). As you can see, this is only valid for small angles.
But it's not true that ray optics is not valid for marginal rays, only that it's much more complicated. If you take $\sin(x)\approx x+\frac{x^3}{3!}$, Seidel abberations and other fancy stuff appear.


Burger King has also been nicknamed the BK Lounge. Another "burger/booger" restaurant nickname is Five Guys Boogers and Flies (Five Guys Burgers and Fries).
Burger King, often abbreviated as BK, is a global chain of hamburger fast food restaurants headquartered in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. The company began in 1953 as Insta-Burger King, a Jacksonville, Florida-based restaurant chain. After Insta-Burger King ran into financial difficulties in 1955, its two Miami-based franchisees, David Edgerton and James McLamore, purchased the company and renamed it Burger King. Over the next half century, the company would change hands four times, with its third set of owners, a partnership of TPG Capital, Bain Capital, and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, taking it public in 2002. In late 2010, 3G Capital of Brazil acquired a majority stake in BK in a deal valued at US$3.26 billion. The new owners promptly initiated a restructuring of the company to reverse its fortunes.
At the end of fiscal year 2011, Burger King reported it had more than 12,400 outlets in 73 countries; of these, 66 percent are in the United States and 90 percent are privately owned and operated.
>most convenient fast food restaurant for me who carried Pepsi.
Burger King. My nephews and I call it "Booger King," which is not necessarily an insult, although it certainly could be interpreted that way. It all depends on the intonation, which changes depending on how long the Whoppers have been sitting out before we bite into them.
"How about BK, man?" Ski asked Renner.
"Good for me." Renner turned to the rest of his team. "Team Four, who's up for Booger King after we get out of here?
What do you call a restaurant where everyone picks their nose?
A derogatory name for Burger King.
Booger King [BOOHG-r keeng] proper noun An American fast food restaurant established in 1953 by Keith J. Kramer and Matthew Burns that specializes in preparing flame-broiled burgers that have since become internationally known.

FRANCES JANE BROWN -- April 15, 1819--April 16, 1914
Failing Health
Mrs. Brown's health became greatly impaired and the family removed to Chatham, Ontario, remaining in that city a year, then went to the farm purchased by Mr. Brown
on the 9th Concession, County of Kent, four miles away; well stocked and with a modern and commodious house, well constructed barn and out buildings. Mrs. Brown gained in health and strength and prosperity seemed to wait on the inmates. This, however, was not to last.
Early one Sabbath morning in June that home was destroyed by fire and the fairest of the family, pretty little Mary, with her winning ways, soft black curls and large dark eyes was burned to death. The house had fallen in before she was missed. When the cry came--"Where is Mary?" frantic screams from women and children were heard, terrified men ran here and there seeking the child. Mr. Brown, the father, lost his mind and was restrained by kindly hands from leaping into the flames. Again that quiet, little mother went from one to the other comforting, consoling and during that ordeal--for weeks when the father's mind was a blank--hers was the strong arm upon which the family leaned. Friends by the score came to their relief and through their aid a five-room cottage was built. Here the mother found herself--stripped of all material wealth--no fine furniture or polished mirrors; no rich carpets or silverware; no instruments of music or costly pictures; only plain deal tables and bare floors.
Soon flowers and vines bloomed and clung outside that cottage door, muslin curtains draped the windows and homemade carpets covered the floor. The mother was teaching her children how to be frugal and content. She was Mary and Martha in one. "Homewood Cottage" became a beauty spot on the 9th Concession.
Mr. Brown still plied the river for a livelihood. It was during the Civil War. One day as the boat lay in port at St. Louis, Mo., two men came aboard and asked the porter, Mr. Brown, to take charge of two large carpet bags until they had finished their shopping, taking note of the boat's departure. Always courteous and obliging, Mr. Brown readily consented. The boat left without the two men appearing. At Memphis, Tenn., officers came aboard
searching for contraband goods. The carpet bags were seized. The porter could give no other account than that two men in St. Louis left them in his care until their return. The carpet bags contained percussion caps sent to the rebel army. The porter was returned to St. Louis in irons and imprisoned.
It was early autumn when Mrs. Brown learned of her husband's imprisonment. Not knowing how long he would be detained, she began with that calm, quiet spirit, full of determination and action, together with the help of the older children and one hired man to plan for the comfort of her family. It proved to be a most severe winter but there was plenty of meat in the smoke-house, canned and dried fruit, with jellies and pickles on the pantry shelves. The apples and vegetables were stored away; grists of flour and meal were brought from the mills; cords of wood stacked near the cottage door; the cattle were well housed with corn and fodder in crib and barn. Well, could the inmates smile at the great snow drifts that blocked the highways and piled in fantastic heaps about the cottage? All that was missing was the father far away. Words of sorrow and grief came from the helpless, imprisoned one but letters of cheer and happiness were sent to him from Homewood Cottage to brighten the gloomy cell.
Four books adorned the little center table in the home, the Bible, Pilgrim's Progress, Jane Porter's Scottish Heroes, and Spurgeon's Sermons. Each Sabbath, the children gathered around the family altar, passages from the Bible were read and then a sermon from the collection of Charles Spurgeon, the noted English preacher. During the week tales from Jane Porter's Scottish Heroes were read by a member of the family. Every evening after the milking and the chores were done, as twilight approached, a huge back log was rolled into the wide fire-place and soon warmth radiated cheer through the big living room.
The frugal meal of milk and mush was over the dishes tidied, then each would take her task. The wool would be
carded by one, another would be at the spinning wheel and the yarn reeled into banks by the mother.
Deprived of the music of former years, the children sang without accompaniment making melody in their hearts.
During the short winter days there would be an occasional wood chopping bee for the boys and a quilting party for the girls. Again on the moonlight nights a sleigh ride party when several wagon beds, placed on bob-sleds, filled with soft clean hay and merry boys and girls covered with buffalo robes skimmed over miles of road while gay, happy laughter rang out on the frost-laden air.
One day in late spring when the snow had gone and the ice had melted in the nearby streams the father, emaciated and pale came home. It was a season of rejoicing in that happy re-united family. He told them how he had prayed until some one said he not only shook the jail but all St. Louis and as nothing was found against him, he was liberated. "Yes," said Mrs. Brown, "and we prayed too."
One by one the older children left the home to make nests for themselves. Two remained with the mother.
After a few years Mrs. Brown concluded to rent the farm and move to the United States, which she did taking her two youngest children Hallie Q. and John G. to Wilberforce, Ohio, where they could obtain an education at Wilberforce University. Shortly afterward a residence was purchased and the name of the Canadian abode was transferred to the Ohio one. Here in the new "Homewood Cottage" she was permitted to spend in quietude and comfort her declining years. She entered heartily into the spirit of college life and placed her children under the tutelage and training of that master instructor, President Daniel A. Payne. She befriended scores of poor, worthy students and for thirty years brought into her home young men and women to "work for their board" but treated as members of the family, many of whom are today of sterling character and worth in the arena of life.
Mrs. Brown was an active worker in the Holy Trinity Church and one of the first members of the College Aid Society, an organization formed to assist indigent students. She saw borne from the cottage door to peaceful Massie's Creek Cemetery three children and her faithful husband and companion who with her had trod the path of life together for fifty years. Two devoted daughters were left to minister to her declining years. Her influence for good was felt by student body and community while little children loved to lisp the name of "Ma" Brown, the pretty old lady.
Her gentle life and gracious presence fell as a benediction upon that home. A visiting friend remarked that it was worth a trip across the Atlantic to see her. Trained by long schooling and patient labor, possessed by great social timidity and extreme shyness, the writer often gazed on her placid face and wished that hers might grow so fair and pure. She was ninety-five years and a day when silence came to that clear voice, "Thou shall come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in His season."
A tribute to Mrs. Frances J. Brown on her 91st birthday, April 15, 1909, by Mrs. B. F. Lee, Sr.:
With glad and reverent hearts we come
Our high esteem to prove,
To bring the lady of this home
Some token of our love.
This lady fair, this mother queen,
With eyes serene and bright,
(Upon whose brow no scowl is seen)
Is ninety-one tonight.
But she is young in heart and soul,
For years have never aged
A heart so warm, with love its goal;
Nor gloom her spirit caged.
What sphere or what position high
Does our sweet lady fill?
With no ambition did she try
To gain fame's shining hill.
But hers was highest of them all
And hallowed most of heaven
Her children do arise and call
Her blest. To her is given
A calm and ripened womanhood,
Nobel type of mother;
And all that's gentle, pure and good
In her has come together.
The secret of endurance long,
By love and duty bound,
She learned and in her task grew strong
And true contentment found
We thank you for the life you live
Of labor, peace and love;
For sure the creed which you believe
Was handed from above.
The Lord bless thee and keep thee still,
O mother true and dear;
His loving grace thy cup o'erfill,
His presence be thy cheer;
His smiling countenance ne'er cease
To shield thee from all fear
And give thee everlasting peace
O mother true and dear.


Pregnancy is the most beautiful and special time in a woman's life. If you are pregnant during summer, then you must make sure you create a very comfortable indoor environment in your home, where you can just relax, without feeling sick due to the heat. For further information, take a look at the following summer pregnancy survival tips.
An AC conditioning can be very expensive, and it can also cause you headaches. Furthermore, if the filter is not cleaned regularly, you can also deal with some sort of allergies, which is exactly what you need to avoid during pregnancy. Therefore, a tower fan would be a better solution. A device like this will create a very pleasant breeze in the room where you choose to place it, and you will certainly feel very comfortable at all times. Furthermore, due to the fact that these units are portable and lightweight, you can move them with ease from your living room to your bedroom, for example. Keep in mind to look for a unit that operates quietly so that you can run it while you sleep as well, without being disturbed.
You definitely know that the sunlight can make a home really hot, and this is exactly what you must avoid, especially if you are pregnant. You can do this by keeping your curtains closed during the day. It is highly recommended to have thick curtains so that the sun doesn't heat up your house at all. By doing so, you will see that you will have a pleasant temperature in your entire home, and you will not have any sort of problems with your pregnancy.
You will obviously need fresh air in order to feel comfortable. For that you will need to open the windows in your home, but you must do it only in the morning and late evenings when outdoors is not as warm as it is during the day. By doing so, you will have fresh air in your house, so that you breathe with ease, and enjoy a good night's sleep as well.
This is one of the most important summer pregnancy survival tips, which you must definitely avoid, in order to make sure you feel comfortable and not hot in your home. If you use the cooker when it is very hot outdoors, you will actually manage to create a sauna effect in your kitchen, and this can make you feel sick, and in some cases, it can make you faint. Therefore, you must avoid this, and you can do it by using as rare as you can the cooker. Instead, you should go for salads, and other foods that can be prepared in the microwave oven, for example. You have plenty of other options, which will not affect your pregnancy at all.
It is very important to hydrate yourself properly every day. You must drink around 3 liters of water per day, and it is highly recommended to go for still water, rather the sparkling one, which can make you feel sick. Sugared drinks and coffee must be avoided at all times, in order to protect your baby's health and yours as well.

The Top 3 best NES games to play on Halloween
October 31, 2017 DavidLeave a comment
Yes, this is missing a lot of horror games from the NES library like Maniac Mansion, Friday the 13th etc. but these are my favorite.
This game might fly under the radar for many, but it should not be ignored. Like most games on the NES, it's a 2D platformer. But where it differs is in style. Halfway through the first level, the visuals and music change from odd and bright to dark and foreboding. Aside from its weird translations, this is well worth your time. Don't miss out on this!
What is Halloween without vampires? Nothing needs to be said about this action side scrolling classic that hasn't already been said. This game set the stage for many of its kind and is still a treat to play to this day.
Ghosts 'n Goblins
Another arcade classic! Everybody should know this painstakingly hard game. It can be cheap, but that's how games were back then. And yeah… to the get the real ending, I hope you have patience and skill. Or you could just watch the ending like a normal person.
2D, bandai, capcom, Castlevania, ghosts n goblins, konami, monster party, NES, Nintendo, platformer, Top list
What is Polybius?
Top 5 things missed from past generations of gaming

but I have tried and it does not seem to be working.
where do I add an alias so that it works when I log in via ssh?
I did put in .bash_profile and it does not seem to change the behavior.
It does work if I use the command at the prompt, but I do not want to do that manually each time I shell into the server.
yes I have quit putty and loged in again, and again.
it just doesn't seem to take.
is there something to make the system read this file on login?
also should it be single quotes or double quotes?
Either single or double quotes should be fine.
alias ls='ls --color' and it works fine.

Sign up below if you're attending the UnOfficial Winter MINIFest at the Meadowbrook Inn in Blowing Rock, NC on Presidents Day Weekend this year!
PLEASE RSVP with your name, the number in your party, what days you're attending and if you would like to go on a motoring run (or lead one) while you're there.
Jeff and Sherry will attend in Spitfire or Caliente, and will lead a Pottery Run on either Saturday.
We'll meet in the lot in front of the Meadowbrook at 10am on Saturday, February 16 and depart shortly after that.
It's about a 20-minute run north to Doe Ridge Pottery in Boone, near the Appalachian State campus. We'll browse the showroom there for 20-30 minutes, then a short drive to Banner Elk and Maggie Black's Gallery. We'll browse awhile here before heading west again for lunch at the legendary Old Hampton Store & BBQ in Linville. The barbeque here is first rate, and we'll do a weather check here and determine if we want to make the next planned stop, which is Grandfather Mountain. If we do, that may give us a unique winter view from the vista, and we can stay as long as we like. Admission is $20/adult $18/senior.
When we depart, we'll either take the Parkway or Blowing Rock Road back and end up at Bolick Traditions Pottery, where the 6th generation owner/potter will be minding the shop. We should have enough time after shopping to take a 3-mile trip to their potting studios south of town.
Full disclosure: Original route included a road not yet ready for traffic, and included so much travel time as to limit stopping time. Also, we did NOT get a chance to test-run this, so we will be flying by the seat of our pants. Just wanted you to know that going in.
This reply was modified 2 months, 1 week ago by Hawkbit.
Bill and Mary Lou will attend in Wm Tell. Plan to make the pottery run. Thursday night thru Sunday is the current plan.
11 AM from the front parking lot at Meadowbrook Inn in Blowing Rock. Drive to Banner Elk for lunch at Banner Elk Cafe and Tavern. Then to Roan Mountain State Park and over Roan Mountain back into NC. Will stop in Valli Crucis at the original Mast General Store before heading to Boone for dinner at the historic Dan'l Boone Inn.
Come up for the weekend or just for the day. Reply if you will be joining the run with numbers so we can make plans for lunch and dinner. Hope to see you there!

Meghan Markle releases statement about her father
Just days before the royal wedding. - by Tash P
Meghan Markle has released a rare statement regarding her father, confirming that he will not be attending her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday May 19.
The statement reads:
"Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health.
"I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support. Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday."
Kensington Palace on Twitter
The official announcement comes after Meghan's father, Thomas, suffered a heart attack and underwent heart surgery where doctors implanted multiple stents in his blood vessels.
Thomas was originally meant to walk his daughter down the aisle on Saturday May 19 at St. George's Chapel.
Although it has not been confirmed who will now walk Meghan down the aisle to her prince charming, we do know what time she will be at Windsor Castle for her royal bride debut.

Wine freaks not only do regularly inventory of their older bottles. They also follow up with the question whether it has been good to invest in some of the more expensive wines. Those buying clever prevent for own pleasure as well as for a stable increase in value of the wine cellar. But first of all one should be happy to have the opportunity to drinking ripe wines which do not appear in the trade or which would be far more expensive when buying well aged.
The enormous rise in price which old wines from a number of producers have seen during the last years do attract shady characters which earn enormous amounts of money by selling fake bottles and fake wines. When purchasing old vintages or large formats of wineries like Mouton and Lafite Rothschild, Pétrus and Cheval Blanc, Romanée-Conti and a few more producers collectors should consider support from an established wine expert.

Inhibitory effects of Acorus calamus extracts on mast cell-dependent anaphylactic reactions using mast cell and mouse model.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2012 May 07; 141(1):526-9.JE
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE
Acorus calamus Linn. (Araceae) is a traditional herbal plant used for centuries to treat various allergic symptoms including asthma and bronchitis.
AIM OF THE STUDY
The present study was focused to provide a pharmacological basis for the traditional use of Acorus calamus in allergic symptoms using the mast cell-dependent anaphylactic reactions in in vitro and in vivo models.
Cell viabilities were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Dinitrophenyl-human serum albumin (DNP-HSA) induced β-hexosaminidase and interleukin (IL)-4 productions in IgE-sensitized rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL-2H3) cells were measured by enzymatic assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction mouse model was implemented for in vivo studies.
Hot water (HW), butylene glycol (BG), hexane (HE) and steam distilled (SD) extracts of Acorus calamus showed different cytoxicity levels evaluated in RBL-2H3 cells. Sub-toxic doses of HW extract suppressed the β-hexosaminidase secretion and IL-4 production significantly and dose dependently in DNP-HSA induced IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells compared to other extracts of Acorus calamus. Further, in vivo studies also revealed that the HW extract significantly inhibited the PCA reaction in mouse compared to the normal control group.
HW extract of Acorus calamus most effectively inhibited degranulation and IL-4 secretion in DNP-HSA-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells and also reduced the mast cell-mediated PCA reaction in mouse, providing a therapeutic evidence for its traditional use in ameliorating allergic reactions.

Q: Find Boost BGL vertex by a key I am looking for a way to access vertex properties by using a key instead of vertex reference itself.
For example, if I have
class Data
{
  public:
    std::string  name;
    unsigned int value;
};
typedef boost::adjacency_list< boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, Data > Graph;
typedef boost::graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor Vertex;

instead of using
Vertex vertex1 = boost::add_vertex( g );
g[vertex1].name  = "Alpha";
g[vertex1].value = 10;

I would like to have
g["Alpha"].name  = "Alpha";
g["Alpha"].value = 10;

Does a ready to use mechanism exist?

A: I think I have found such mechanism. It is called labeled_graph and is a part of BGL.
Instead of using adjacency_list, one can use a predefined wrapper labeled_graph:
typedef boost::labeled_graph<
    boost::adjacency_list< boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, Data >,
    std::string
> Graph;

After defining a graph like this, it is possible to access vertices in the following manner:
Graph g;

boost::add_vertex( "Alpha", g );
g["Alpha"].name  = "Alpha";
g["Alpha"].value = 10;

boost::add_vertex( "Beta", g );
g["Beta"].name  = "Beta";
g["Beta"].value = 20;

boost::add_edge_by_label( "Alpha", "Beta", g );

The side effect of this is that one need to use graph() member function to make some algorithms work:
std::vector< Graph::vertex_descriptor > container;
boost::topological_sort( g.graph(), std::back_inserter( container ) ) ;

For some reason, labeled_graph is not described in BGL documentation, but it appears in the example folder.
Thank you for reply,
Serge

A: A ready to use mechanism doesn't exist since the adjacency_list concept cannot know that you wanna access your vertex property by a field in a struct.
I would prefer the way of having an additional map which maps the name of the data to the corresponding vertex. Further, you can encapsulate your algorithm in a class or a function, so that when adding a new vertex the map is filled automatically.


I work in the Glendale/Pasadena area weekday afternoons, so a few weeks ago Melo and I decided to stay in the area for our date night.
How cute are those chandeliers?!
Melo LOVES Thai food, so I surprised her by taking her to Daisy Mint, a Thai spot right off of Colorado Blvd near Cal Tech and not too far from Old Pasadena. This place is so adorable! The cozy interior actually reminded me a lot of my favorite brunch spot in Atlanta (you can read about it here). It's very charming and quaint; perfect for a date!

California law surrounding innovative new biologic and biosimilar medications has returned for the 2015-2016 session.
Because of the complexity of creating these drugs, it is virtually impossible to create identical "generic" products of biologics. Instead, biologics have what are called biosimilar or interchangeable biological products that meet varying degrees of similarity. This is especially important today with the introduction of interchangeable biologics into state markets continuing to grow closer.
Last session, Senator Hill introduced SB 598 which would have authorized a pharmacist to substitute an interchangeable biosimilar for a prescribed biological with some limitations. CRA voiced its support throughout the process, from the initial committee hearing all the way through both chambers and to the Governor's Office. Regrettably, the Governor vetoed SB 598 on October 12, 2013, explaining it was premature.
Now, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the first biosimilar product this year, an increasing numbers of state legislatures, including California, have recognized the importance of passing this important legislation into law.
Senator Hill has once again introduced a biosimilars bill, SB 671, which seeks many of the same provisions including provider notification, only substituting interchangeable biosimilars, and a physician's ability to prevent a substitution. The prospects for this legislation look good, with many more parties adding in their support this year.
CRA supports the premise of the legislation and is working with other patient and provider groups including CSRO and ACR to ensure that the final law supports all concerns regarding the introduction of these important drugs.
California Advocacy Summit -- CRA and Arthritis Foundation, Pacific Region advocated in support of SB 671 during their joint California Advocacy Summit on April 20 & 21, 2015. Provider and patient advocates stressed the importance of regulating biosimilar substitution and voiced their support for SB 671 while meeting with legislators from across the state.
UPDATE: As of September 3, the bill awaits the Governor's consideration.
October 9, 2015 - The California Rheumatology Alliance is celebrating a successful year in the state legislature. We had a number of victories thanks to strong efforts by our members advocating with Governor Brown and legislators across the state.
October 6, 2015 - Today, California Governor, Jerry Brown, signed into law SB 671 (Hill), which regulates the substitution of interchangeable biologic drugs. The bill passed the Senate and Assembly a few months ago, but has been awaiting the the governor signature.
August 31, 2015 - Today the California Senate concurred with Assembly amendments to SB 671 (Hill), which will regulate the substitution of biosimilar drugs. CRA will continue to voice its support for this legislation by urging the Governor to sign it into law.
August 28, 2015 - CRA applauds the California Assembly's passage of SB 671 (Hill), which will regulate the substitution of biosimilar drugs. The bill passed the Assembly by a unanimous vote on August 27, and now awaits Senate concurrence with the Assembly amendment before it may be sent to the governor for his consideration.

Q: Issues cross compiling unixODBC I am on a Mac, and I am having libtool linking issues when trying to compile unixODBC for arm7 (for me to use in iOS). I downloaded unixODBC from their website and I use the following script to configure it and make it.
#!/bin/sh

# unset some shell variables
unset CC
unset CFLAGS
unset CPP

# make arm target
export CC=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2
export CFLAGS="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.1.sdk"
export CPP=/usr/bin/cpp

./configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin12 --host=arm-apple-darwin10 --target=armv7 --enable-static --disable-shared

make all

./configure runs just fine, but during the make all it breaks. I get the following error:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
  "_lt_libltdlc_LTX_preloaded_symbols", referenced from:
      _lt_dlinit in libodbc.a(libltdlc_la-ltdl.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7

I narrowed down the error to when the make all is run in the exe directory, specifically when the following command is run
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.1.sdk -pthread -o isql isql.o ../DriverManager/libodbc.la ../extras/libodbcextraslc.la

I'm not quite sure why it fails. I have checked that the lt_dlinit function does exist, and from what I can tell, everything is being done correctly. However, my experience using libtool is non-existent and my experience addressing linker issues is not extensive.
Any help is appreciated, and I can provide any additional information if necessary. Thank you in advance!

A: Maybe worth running

I consider myself a YA author, a playwright, a singer and a recovering actor—the order depends on the day. I'm currently super excited about a web series pilot I wrote for Is or Isn't Entertainment and New Form called Campus Catwalk, and I've also written three YA novels that make up the Confessions series (Confessions of an Angry Girl, Confessions of an Almost-Girlfriend, and No More Confessions published by HarlequinTEEN and Stonesong). Recently, I won Best Half-Hour Pilot at the amazingly awesome Austin Film Festival for a script called Losing It, which is based on those novels.
Like most YA authors, I am often asked about advice for young writers. I have to say that I think studying psychology and acting gave me the perfect foundation for creating characters and understanding story structure. In other words, if you want to write, I say study as many different things as you can in addition to writing. And write every day, even if it's just for 30 minutes. And then of course, the most important thing: BE NICE TO YOURSELF. Don't edit and critique while you're writing. Get it down first, and worry about editing and critiquing later. But give yourself the space and grace to get it out of your head and onto the page first.
writer of books, scriptS, plays, WEb series, letters, emails, tweets, texts, to-do lists, Grocery lists, lists of lists, etc.
Let's see, what else can I tell you.... Currently, I live in Los Angeles. I majored in psychology at Vassar College (I basically went to college so I could spend four years singing in an a cappella group) and after a brief stint in music school at the New England Conservatory of Music, I went to graduate school for acting at The Theatre School at DePaul University in the great city of Chicago. Then I did musical theatre in NYC (my wee claim to fame is playing Hope in the original production of Urinetown! The Musical at the New York International Fringe Festival). I had a great band in NYC that I really miss, but I sing with a few different awesomely talented folks here in Los Angeles.

I look at history. And yeah, sometimes it repeats itself. What happened with the Nazis? A whole lot of people sat and waited, said it can't be true, can't be this bad, and? I think it was gas in their future. So….
Should we be buying guns and getting ready?
Yes, I believe there is a difference. We have a military that has sworn an oath to The Constitution. They have pledged to not follow an unlawful order. Nuremberg is a memory. Their allegiance is to nation, not an ideal. Yet….
Guns…. Do we need to arm ourselves to be ready? They have them. Shouldn't we? What are you willing to do to preserve freedom?
