The process of finding a buyer when one is in need to sell a home can be a daunting task. You might have been on the real estate market in the past when you wanted to invest in a house, but the situation will be different when looking to sell the home. You will have some options when you are looking to sell a house, but it is vital to learn the benefits and disadvantages of using a given method to sell a home. Regardless of the reason why one is on the market looking to sell a house, it is desirable that one finds an approach that can save their money and time.
One of the common reasons why one might want to sell a house is when they are having financial issues. It is possible that one is struggling to pay for the mortgage after selling losing a job. You do not have to wait and lose the house in foreclosure as it is possible to get cash for the home. When one needs a considerable amount of cash to settle an emergency bill or finance a project, selling a house might be one of the ways to raise such money. It is also possible that one is selling their house and relocate since they have been offered a job elsewhere, the employer has transferred them, or one is just keen to live close to family and friends.
There is a tendency among the homeowners to utilize a real estate agent when selling a home. Most individuals who choose to utilize the help of a real estate agent are looking to avoid the trouble that comes with selling the home to traditional buyers through advertising. The agent will offer various services when hired such as assessing the value of the home, house inspections, listing and advertising, and taking charge of negotiations and offers from potential buyers. The disadvantages of utilizing a real estate agent to sell a home is the fact that the process might take some months, and one will also pay a fee to the realtor for every service that they have provided.
The best decision that one is looking to sell a house fast without listing with a realtor is selling the home to cash for houses companies such as Citrus Palm Investments LLC real estate investors. One will get the chance to sell the house within seven days if they choose to sell to cash home buyers, and this will save your time. One also avoids the cost of hiring a real estate agent, advertising or even repairing the house considering that the cash home buyers provide you the opportunity to sell a home fast as is in Daytona Beach.


Early on Thursday evening, I watched the Lebanese laying roses and lighting candles on the Beirut street where "they" murdered Samir Kassir just over a week ago. Who "they" are we may never know - though we may suspect - because Samir's widow Gisele has already said that she puts no trust in the Lebanese police investigators. But Lebanon is an educated country whose people read voraciously and care about their writers. So it was good to see that a journalist's assassination could bring 200 people out to mourn his terrible end and to demand - as they have of ex-prime minister Rafiq Hariri's murder - the truth. They want Furn al-Hayak Street to be renamed after Samir Kassir of An Nahar, who was blown up as he climbed into his car. Two hundred did not quite equal the million Lebanese who turned out after Hariri's murder; the exchange rate of journalists to ex-premiers appears to be around 1:5,000. But it does raise the old question - so passionately asked by those of us in the trade - as to just how much a journalist's life is worth. Samir wrote eloquent but brutal articles against the Syrian presence in Lebanon and against the dark figures within Lebanon's own security apparatus who worked for Damascus; which, so we all assume, is the reason for his killing, along with his work for the Lebanese political opposition. Indeed, the Lebanese have a long, unholy record of murdered journalists. Among the first of the country's "martyrs of the press" was Salim el-Lowzy, who ran the magazine Hawadess. He had written against the Syrians and, after visiting Beirut to attend his daughter's wedding in 1976, was kidnapped while driving to the airport to fly back to London. His body was found with his right - writing - hand burned away with acid. Before or after death? - we all asked at the time. I've known too many of my own colleagues who have died here. A German friend, researching an article for Stern magazine on Palestinian gun-running, received telephone warnings to leave Lebanon. He refused and, returning home one night, was shot down in front of his wife, almost certainly by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command. I remember one bright March morning in 1985, bidding my friends Tewfiq Ghazawi and Bahij Metni of CBS television goodbye as we raced on our separate journeys to an Israeli-Hizbollah battle in southern Lebanon. When we got there, the blast of an Israeli shell blew me uninjured through the doorway of a house. But the same tank sent another shell into a neighbouring street where Tewfiq and Ghazawi were filming. I saw what was left of them later, in bits on the floor of the Sidon mortuary. Villagers were scraping their flesh off the walls of the street for the next 24 hours. Some of my colleagues died because they behaved rashly amid war. Sean Toolan of The Observer was carrying on an affair with the wife of a Palestinian businessman when he was stopped on his way home from a bar and attacked by men who thrust ice-picks into his face. Others lost their lives because they were doing their job in the most terrible of conflicts. I remember carrying Olivier Quemener's camera legs for him in Algiers one afternoon. Next morning, he set out to film in the Casbah and was found an hour or so later, dead of bullet wounds, his wounded reporter colleague lying weeping beside his body. I'm still not sure why I still walk in harm's way. There's nothing vicarious about war and I'm no war junkie. The thousands of bodies I've seen prove that death is just a heartbeat away. But "monitoring the centres of power" - to use Amira Hass's fine description of journalism and its business of challenging governments - means witnessing the filth of the battlefield. To do that, you've got to go there. More of us are dying in wars than ever before. And fewer people, I fear, care about us than ever before. This is not just because of the enormous toll of civilians who are being cut down in our modern wars - journalists deserve no god-like status above any other human (we, after all, can fly home business class if we tire of war, unlike the huddled masses who cannot escape) - but also, I suspect, because of the way in which too many of us like to pose on screen, to put military helmets on our heads, to parade our flak jacketed selves in front of tanks, to dress up in army costume. I even remember a young American who turned up to report the 1991 Gulf War - Lou Fontana of WISTV, South Carolina, to be exact - wearing boots camouflaged with paintings of dead leaves, purchased for the desert at Barrons Hunting Supplies store. Anyone who has glanced at a picture of a desert, of course, must surely have noticed the absence of trees. But far greater problems ensue when reporters ostentatiously carry weapons. I can still remember the chill I felt when I saw Geraldo Rivera of Fox News appear on screen in Afghanistan in 2001 toting a gun. Even worse were his words. "I'm feeling more patriotic than at any time in my life, itching for justice, or maybe just revenge," he vouchsafed to the world. "And this catharsis I've gone through has caused me to reassess what I do for a living." It was the last straw. The reporter had become combatant. But Rivera was not about to face Osama bin Laden (or anyone else) in a duel to the death. It was pure show business. And alongside this growing habit of transmogrification from journalist into fighter - which started, I think, in the Vietnam War - has been the continuing culture of journalistic self-denigration, of journalists who regard their own profession as cynically as some of their readers. We should not be self-important. But I, for one, dislike our constant use of the word "hack". Sure, we can call ourselves "scribes", and I'm all for self-mockery. "I'm off to hammer on the anvil of literature," I used to joke to AP photographers during the Lebanese war - and they would all dutifully groan. But a "hack" is a suborned hand, someone who'll write anything for a pound, a horse for common hire. If we wish to be respected - if we wish to be believed - shouldn't we treat ourselves with a bit more respect? The most recent British Press Awards ceremony, an exercise in self-abuse - which newspaper editors have rightly decided to boycott until it cleans up its act - is part and parcel of the same problem. It's a bit difficult to thunder about the iniquities and lies of our political leaders when we're wearing the clothes of the court jester. Ditto with death. It's right to mourn a journalist, but the death of a "hack" is a matter of little count. Samir Kassir took himself seriously. He took journalism seriously. He was no "hack". But then again, I suppose that's why they murdered him.

The Embassy of France and the French Institute: We follow with attention the evolution at UMF Iasi
The embassy of France to Romania and the French Institute say that they follow with attention the evolutions at the Medicine and Pharmacy University (umf) in Iasi, especially as a result of the recent publication of the new list with foreign students admitted for the first year. According to a press release of the French Embassy, the French Institute in Iasi received the French students and their parents.
The quoted source says that the French authorities were informed ' with regard to the difficulties of the French students and other nationalities, as well as about the efforts of the competent national authorities to solve this situation'.
'The ambassador met several times with the national authorities including the minister of national education and scientific research, Sorin Mihai Cimpeanu. His Highness drew attention to the situation of the serious-minded students who started the academic year and who, at present, as a result of a new evaluation of the their documents found out that their names are no longer on the new list of students. This situation determines misunderstandings even despair among the affected students. The ambassador expressed his support for the process of recovery of the university started by the national authorities and especially by minister Sorin Cimpeanu.
This action is essential to avoid the repetition of the present situation' states the press release with the specification that such a situation ' is dangerous for the reputation of the medial studies in Romania'.
The same source announced that the ambassador of France expressed his support for the Romanian authorities so that they invite the university ' to a clear and transparent dialogue with the students'.
The chairman of the Senate of UMF 'Gr.T.Popa' in Iasi,Gabriel Dimofte stated on Monday in a press conference that there are students against whom a file will be lodged for the annulment of the right to study at this university.
All the documents of the foreign students admitted this academic year for the programmes in English, French and Romanian on their own at Universitatea Gr.T.Popa have been verified.
According to Dimofte, a part of the94 students who one week ago could not find their names on the lists of UMF Iasi were admitted, others weren't.
The National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) prosecutors took documents from UMF Iasi on last Thursday, the action being in connection with the registration files of foreign students.

Low-temp photocatalyst could slash the carbon footprint for syngas
by Jade Boyd, Rice University

Rice University engineers have created a light-powered nanoparticle that could shrink the carbon footprint of a major segment of the chemical industry.
The particle, tiny spheres of copper dotted with single atoms of ruthenium, is the key component in a green process for making syngas, or synthesis gas, valuable chemical feedstock that's used to make fuels, fertilizer and many other products. Researchers from Rice, UCLA and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), describe the low-energy, low-temperature syngas production process this week in Nature Energy.
"Syngas can be made in many ways, but one of those, methane dry reforming, is increasingly important because the chemical inputs are methane and carbon dioxide, two potent and problematic greenhouse gases," said Rice chemist and engineer Naomi Halas, a co-corresponding author on the paper.
Syngas is a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas that can be made from coal, biomass, natural gas and other sources. It's produced at hundreds of gasification plants worldwide and is used to make fuels and chemicals worth more than $46 billion per year, according to a 2017 analysis by BCC Research.
Catalysts, materials that spur reactions between other chemicals, are critical for gasification. Gasification plants typically use steam and catalysts to break apart hydrocarbons. The hydrogen atoms pair up to form hydrogen gas, and the carbon atoms combine with oxygen in the form of carbon monoxide. In dry reforming, the oxygen atoms come from carbon dioxide rather than steam. But dry reforming hasn't been attractive to industry because it typically requires even higher temperatures and more energy than steam-based methods, said study first author Linan Zhou, a postdoctoral researcher at Rice's Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP).
Halas, who directs LANP, has worked for years to create light-activated nanoparticles that insert energy into chemical reactions with surgical precision. In 2011, her team showed it could boost the amount of short-lived, high-energy electrons called "hot carriers" that are created when light strikes metal, and in 2016 they unveiled the first of several "antenna reactors" that use hot carriers to drive catalysis.
One of these, a copper and ruthenium antenna reactor for making hydrogen from ammonia, was the subject of a 2018 Science paper by Halas, Zhou and colleagues. Zhou said the syngas catalyst uses a similar design. In each, a copper sphere about 5-10 nanometers in diameter is dotted with ruthenium islands. For the ammonia catalysts, each island contained a few dozen atoms of ruthenium, but Zhou had to shrink these to a single atom for the dry reforming catalyst.
"High efficiency is important for this reaction, but stability is even more important," Zhou said. "If you tell a person in industry that you have a really efficient catalyst they are going to ask, 'How long can it last?'"
Zhou said the question is important for producers, because most gasification catalysts are prone to "coking," a buildup of surface carbon that eventually renders them useless.

"They cannot change the catalyst every day," Zhou said. "They want something that can last."
By isolating the active ruthenium sites where carbon is dissociated from hydrogen, Zhou reduced the chances of carbon atoms reacting with one another to form coke and increased the likelihood of them reacting with oxygen to form carbon monoxide.
"But single-atom islands are not enough," he said. "For stability, you need both single atoms and hot electrons."
Zhou said the team's experimental and theoretical investigations point to hot carriers driving hydrogen away from the reactor surface.
"When hydrogen leaves the surface quickly, it's more likely to form molecular hydrogen," he said. "It also decreases the possibility of a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, and leaves the oxygen to react with carbon. That's how you can control with the hot electron to make sure it doesn't form coke."
Halas said the research could pave the way "for sustainable, light-driven, low-temperature, methane-reforming reactions for production of hydrogen on demand."
"Beyond syngas, the single-atom, antenna-reactor design could be useful in designing energy-efficient catalysts for other applications," she said.
The technology has been licensed by Syzygy Plasmonics, a Houston-based startup whose co-founders include Halas and study co-author Peter Nordlander.

In Stride this month we are combining the forces of speed and threshold. If you only train at one speed, you will only run one speed. Speed training increases efficiency at all running paces making you faster at all distances. Each class will incorporate speed work either before, during, or after the bulk of threshold work, so your pace is never the same throughout.
As a coach and a runner I have seen similarities across training programs geared toward youth development to collegiate and professional sprinters. The factor that connects a sprinter contending for the Olympics to a 10 year old learning how to run is hill training. It is the most efficient and effective way to build muscular strength and speed, but the benefits go far beyond that. We see improvement in running economy, explosiveness, and injury prevention that changes our body's ability to handle maximal intensity, strength training, and long distance running.
The beginning of the New Year it is a time to refresh, renew, reignite, and reestablish. Stride will be echoing that same theme this month as we start to reinstate our baseline training. What we mean by this is we are going to spend a little more time training at our lactate threshold, which is something that we don't spend time on during all-out efforts in Tread & Shred or our long slow distance runs that some of us occasionally sneak in.
Strength circuits will take on a much bigger role in Stride this month. It is crucial for runners to develop the strength required for a healthy, sustainable gait. When the running gets fatiguing we need to develop the strength to carry us through!
We're exploring the benefits of moving between and after efforts that are higher in intensity this month in Stride. This means that we are incorporating active recovery into all of our workouts, which can be as simple as light walk on the tread!
The August Stride theme has a mechanics-based focus. This is a critical element of our daily movement practice. We are dialing into the core and the importance of strength maintenance.
July Stride classes will be about creating an environment similar to running outside. When we run outside there is a constant eb and flow of inclines and declines. As we get into the road racing circuit during the summer and fall it is important to train our bodies to adapt and adjust to small grades of incline. We gotchu!
Speed work makes the dream work!
Picture this, you're in a race, running in a pack. All of a sudden someone breaks away. You find yourself wanting to go with that runner, but your legs will not move and you're left in the dust. This month Stride will help you become more effective in your spring and summer races. Read on to learn how!
We are talking about pure interval training. It is a very classic and grassroots way of training full of repeated, faster efforts to get an athlete stronger and more efficient. These workouts are all designed to encourage this amazing community to discover where your fitness is truly at and get you inspired to chase something better.

Q: Proving that a limit exists Suppose $g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function which is differentiable at some point $x$. Let $u_n, v_n$ be real sequences with (for all $n$) $u_n\le x \le v_n$, $u_n\neq v_n$ and $u_n, v_n \to x$ as $n\to\infty$. Prove that $$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{g(v_n)-g(u_n)}{v_n-u_n} $$ exists.
I have tried all manners of rearranging the limit to somehow get it in terms of the derivative of $g$ at $x$ but this doesn't really help, I always seem to end up with it in terms of limits which don't necessarily exist. Seeing as there are very few conditions on $g$ I think there should be a relatively simple way of rearranging it but can't spot it for some reason.

A: It might be easier to work from the definition.
If $g$ is differentiable at $x$, then for all $\epsilon>0$, there exists some $\delta>0$ such that if $|y-x| < \delta$, then $|g(y)-g(x)-g'(x)(y-x)| < \epsilon |y-x|$.
Now try to bound $|\frac{g(v_n)-g(u_n)}{v_n-u_n} - g'(x)|$, writing $g(v_n)-g(u_n) = g(v_n)-g(x)+g(x)-g(u_n)$, and $g'(x)(v_n-u_n) = g'(x)(v_n-x) + g'(x)(x-u_n) $. Then use the fact that $u_n\le x \le  v_n$ to obtain a suitable bound.

A: Hint: Try adding and subtracting $g(x)$ in the numerator to get closer to the definition of the derivative.

A: Let $\epsilon>0$ be given.
As $v_n\to x$, $|g(v_n)-g(x)-(v_n-x)g'(x)|\le \epsilon|v_n-x|=\epsilon(v_n-x)$ for almost all $n$. Similary,  $|g(u_n)-g(x)-(u_n-x)g'(x)|\le \epsilon|u_n-x|=\epsilon(x-u_n)$ for almost all $n$.
Hence
$$\begin{align}&|g(v_n)-g(u_n)-(v_n-u_n)g'(x)|\\=&|(g(v_n)-g(x)-(v_n-x)g'(x))-(g(u_n)-g(x)-(u_n-x)g'(x))|\\\le&|g(v_n)-g(x)-(v_n-x)g'(x)|+|g(u_n)-g(x)-(u_n-x)g'(x)|\\\le&\epsilon(v_n-x)+\epsilon(x-u_n)\\=&\epsilon(v_n-u_n)\\=&\epsilon\,\left|v_n-u_n\right|\end{align}$$
and consequently
$$\left|\frac{g(v_n)-g(u_n)}{v_n-u_n}-g'(x)\right|\le \epsilon$$
for almost all $n$.

A: Hint: Since $g:\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ is differentiable at $x$, then $$\begin{align}2g'(x) &= 2\lim_{h\to0}\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}h\\ &= \lim_{h\to0^+}\left[\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}h\right]+ \lim_{h\to0^+}\left[\frac{g(x-h)-g(x)}{-h}\right]\\ &= \lim_{h\to0^+}\left[\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}h\right]+ \lim_{h\to0^+}\left[\frac{g(x)-g(x-h)}h\right]\\ &= \lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{g(x+h)-g(x-h)}h,\end{align}$$ and so $$g'(x) = \lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{g(x+h)-g(x-h)}{2h} = \lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{g(x+h)-g(x-h)}{h-(-h)}.$$ Do you see how this helps you, since $u_n$ and $v_n$ converge to $x$ from below and above (respectively) and $u_n\ne v_n$?

Behemoth w/ Watain
The Decibel Magazine Tour (sponsored by the same mag) featuring four extreme European metal bands playing North America together for the first time, hit Toronto near the end of the 26 date jaunt.
Openers Sweden's In Solitude and The Devil's Blood from Denmark did an admirable job setting the stage for the true evil about to be unleashed upon the yearning crowd.
When Sweden's Watain hit the stage is where things got really sinister. The band actually missed the first four dates of the tour in April due to a sudden (but not surprising) delay getting proper visas into the U.S. but wasted no time beginning their Toronto aural assault. Opening with "Malfeitor" from 2010's stunning Lawless Darkness album, the band attacked the crowd with merciless fury. Their stage less resembled a standard rock show and more like a coven prepared for a ritualistic ceremony. Menacing front man Eric "E" Danielsson prowled the front of the stage proudly observing the chaotic mosh pit that had he had conjured below him. Ever wonder what Marilyn Manson has nightmares about? Believe me, it's this guy. By the time they finished their set with the sprawling epic "Waters Of Ain" the crowd had witnessed black metal performed live at its finest.
Behemoth began their thirteen song, 70 minute headlining set with a dramatic rendering of the track "Ov Fire And The Void" with the stage bathed in shards of bright blue light.
Many in the crowd seemed to be giving front man/ lead guitarist Adam "Nergal" Darski a reverential hero's welcome and for good reason. In 2010 Nergal was diagnosed with leukemia putting the future of the band in question. In the in-term a series of archival releases (the 2 DVD/1 CD live Evangelia Heretika plus the rarities roundups Demonica and Abyssus Abyssum Invocata both double CD sets) kept up the group's profile and most likely helped with hospital bills. After a successful bone marrow transplant, the 2012 Nergal is cancer free and determined to prove that his powers remain undiminished. Considering what he has been through, it wasn't a hollow boast when at the beginning of "Conquer All" he shouted "It's so fucking great to be alive!"
The band relentlessly ran through song after song with frightening intensity. "Decade Of Therion", "Slaves Shall Serve" and "Chant For Eschaton 2000" were all performed with an unremitting focus. The dramatic lighting effects also added considerably to the presentation. A dark purple tone often washed over the group interrupted suddenly by sharp flashes of bright crimson.
Ending the night with a riveting reading of "Lucifer" left the sweaty congregation at the brink of exhaustion, so punishing had been the proceedings.
If Nergal is able to keep his health issues in check, there is no doubt that Behemoth are set to become the world's first arena level black metal group.

EPA Is Trying to Get Out of Its Own Way on the RFS
Biofuels Engine Design, Business News/Analysis, Deliver Dispense, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Agency, Federal Regulation, Infrastructure, Opinions, Policy, R & D Focus, Transportation, Vehicle/Engine
by Brent Erickson (Biotechnology Innovation Organization/Biofuels Digest) … The practical and legal constraints on the RFS are mostly of EPA's own making. As EPA admitted in the final 2014-2016 rule, it set the volume obligations for those years according to "what would have happened in the marketplace absent a rulemaking."[1] After two years of rulemaking delays – during which, oil refiners escaped deploying infrastructure for higher biofuel blends – EPA issued a final rule that waived volumes based on lacking infrastructure and expanded its own waiver authority beyond the language of the law. Further, the agency absolved the oil industry of any responsibility to deploy infrastructure for increased use of biofuels. Those issues will now be resolved in the U.S. Court of Appeals. More importantly, though, EPA cannot continue to follow this flawed methodology for the future – even past 2022 – without sacrificing the goals of the RFS and undercutting the administration's goals for combined higher Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) standards and decreased carbon emissions from transportation.
Delays cost carbon
The delays in scaling up biofuel use hamper the nation's ability to reduce carbon emissions. In April 2010, EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finalized rules that would both increase CAFE standards (to 34.1 miles per gallon by 2016) and limit greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks. Two years later in October 2012, the agencies issued a second rule under which automakers agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new cars and light trucks by 50 percent by 2025 while raising fuel economy standards to 50 miles per gallon. The agencies will conduct a midterm evaluation this year of progress toward the goals, and they will likely find that the delays in implementing the RFS and deploying infrastructure for higher biofuel blends are hampering their objectives.
The path forward is fuel efficiency through higher compression
Higher fuel efficiency standards require more ethanol use. The most viable path for automakers to achieve the higher CAFE standards while reducing greenhouse gas emissions relies on higher blends of ethanol. … High-compression engines perform best with high-octane fuels, and gasoline blends of 25, 30 or 40 percent ethanol would provide the necessary octane at the lowest cost. Moreover, off-the-shelf technology already exists to build these engines and equip them to use higher blends of ethanol – up to E85. What is lacking is the infrastructure to put this type of fuel into the cars and light duty trucks on the highway.
Ethanol producers are now deploying the needed infrastructure, and automakers should work with them. … The U.S. vehicle fleet already has the capacity to consume up to 26 billion gallons of ethanol in the form of E15 and E85. Out of the roughly 250 million vehicles registered in the United States, 80 to 85 percent can run on E15 blends; and 14 million flex-fuel vehicles can use E85. Automakers should get in the game and deploy higher compression engines with flex fuel technology to take advantage of ethanol's octane.
EPA is also preparing a Renewables Enhancement and Growth Support Rule that, among other things, will ensure that ethanol blends from E16 to E85 will meet gasoline fuel quality standards.
…(T)he agency should strive to coordinate and harmonize its rules for the RFS, the combined CAFE and greenhouse gas emissions standards, as well as renewables enhancement and growth. This would send a strong signal to biofuel producers and automakers to continue innovating and investing in low-carbon biofuels.

Grandmaster Tu, born in a Kung Fu family, is fond of Kung Fu art. He is the sixth of seven sons in the family. He started practicing Qigong with his father since he was a child. He learned Tai Chi and Qigong from a master who died at the age of 103. In addition to being a prominent Qigong master, Grandmaster Tu is also expert in Chinese painting and calligraphy. Grandmaster Tu's Chinese painting and calligraphy teacher is now 109.
Grandmaster Tu loves to perform and he has been performing for a long time all over the globe. His martial arts performances began in his early teens. Over the years, master Tu won in numerous competitions, including the Taiwan's championship in Guo Shu in 1975 a martial art competition that is nationally recognized and highly regarded to all martial artists. Shortly after the championship, in 1076, Grandmaster Tu founded his first martial art training center in Taipei to teach Qigong. Since then, many branches were setting up in six major cities in Taiwan. Later, he served as the head coach for a team of martial artists, who represented Taiwan in numerous international martial arts competitions and exhibitions.
Grandmaster Tu also taught Kung Fu and exercise in many universities and colleges in Taiwan. He is good at the art of healing, acupuncture and moxibustion. Now, he is currently teaching 99 Qigong in the U.S.. Grandmaster Tu is very devoted to his teaching because he strongly believes that people can benefit greatly from learning 99 Iron Crotch.

So why would I do this? Maybe because I always have — I've had a server connected to the net since 1995. I enjoy being master of my domain(s). In a perverse way it's a challenging hobby as well.
My server for whiteoaks.com lives in the linen closet at the top of my staircase. It really doesn't get enough cooling, and when the processor gets too busy it complains about the heat. The version of Linux on it is old and long unsupported. I've been having to build package upgrades from source — like gcc, apache, php (4 and 5), and mysql.
I know I've needed to build a new server, but I've been dreading putting together a machine and painstakingly migrating my services, users and domains to a new environment.
Meanwhile Jane and I have discovered the joys of streaming Netflix and Amazon to the home theater. That means sharing my server's DSL line to download TV and movies — not great for either service.
I pay Verizon about $95 per month for a commercial DSL account with 3 mbps download and 768 kbps upload. For a server, 768 kbps is pretty slow. Moving to the cloud would give my server cloud-sized speed as well, and let me switch to a consumer internet account at home — cheaper and probably faster.
So it's really long past time that I moved out of my linen closet and into the cloud.
Much techie stuff follows. Feel free to skip down!
I spent several hours pricing out servers from Rackspace and others, trying to figure out what it would cost me. Right now I run everything — email, DNS, a dozen or so web sites — from one eight-year-old server with 1GB of ram and 40GB of disk.
I wanted to upgrade my mail service to use Zimbra, and I knew it would require its own dedicated server with 1GB of ram. On Rackspace, that's "flavor 3" and would cost me about $40 per month.
Here's why I wanted Zimbra: It's available in a free open source community edition. It's built on top of all the open source packages I was already using and familiar with: Postfix, Clamd, Spamassassin, MySQL. Zimbra provides a first-class web mail client that would enable my users (mostly family) to do things like change their password and set up filters to route mail into folders.
I spun up a 1GB Rackspace server using Ubuntu 10.04LTS as the base. I set up a subdomain "rs.whiteoaks.com" using Rackspace's excellent DNS support. I made an MX record to point to the new machine mail.rs.whiteoaks.com. Rackspace DNS support even let me set the reverse DNS to resolve mail.rs.whiteoaks.com to this server — essential on an email server!
On the new server I went through the Zimbra install script, interrupted only to install a couple of missing packages, and found myself a few minutes later with a genuine working email server that would send and receive email.
Zimbra does not include a first-class mailing list manager. I host mailing lists for several astronomy clubs, OTASTRO, Bridgemojo and such — not huge lists, but as large as a few hundred members.
This led to much teeth-gnashing as I started researching how to integrate Zimbra and Mailman.
Zimbra really doesn't like to have anything else running on its server. I understand this. It's not just a control-freak thing, it means they can build and create an easily-installed turnkey box.
This has led to two strategies for integrating Mailman and Zimbra: the cowboy strategy of running Mailman on the Zimbra server alongside Zimbra, and the officially supported strategy of running Mailman on its own separate server, with a Zimbra-provided API hook for better integration.
I knew I was going to have another server for my web services, so I thought I would start out with the "separate server" strategy. Installing Mailman is simple enough, but then it has to be knitted carefully into an Apache web server as well as Postfix.
This quickly began to seem like the more fragile and complex of the two solutions. It would require patching Mailman and Zimbra to support Zimbra's API to manage all of the required mailing list aliases. It also will not support multiple domains, which makes that strategy dead on arrival.
So back to the cowboy approach, knit Mailman into the Zimbra server, hopefully without making too much of an impact on Zimbra's ecosystem.
This took some doing, but was a good project for a Sunday while watching the final round of the Masters.
I won't get directly into the details here. I know there will be sysadmins curious about the problems I encountered and solved. None of the "how-tos" and forum threads covered every problem, and many of them were several years old. I owe it to the community to write up as much of my problems and solutions as I can. I promise to do that in a follow-up blog post.
The final result is a thing of pride and beauty. Here's a little of what I did.
Mailman needs to be knitted into two services: Apache (web service) and Postfix (mail service). On Zimbra's box, Zimbra owns both of these.
The web service knit turned out to be reasonable and elegant. The solution I liked is to move the Zimbra server out of the way to another port (81 in my case). Zimbra provides a local configuration flag to change that port that will be preserved in an upgrade. Then I installed a server-wide Apache package and configured it for Mailman in a virtual host. In another virtual host, I set up an http proxy that will forward to Zimbra's apache instance on localhost port 81.
With this setup, the Mailman web users will find the familiar Mailman applications at lists.rs.whiteoaks.com, and the Zimbra users will find their email applications at mail.rs.whiteoaks.com.
The second knitting job requires patching Mailman into Zimbra's owned and operated Postfix instance. There are only three spots that need to be patched in the Postfix main.cf configuration file, alias maps, virtual alias maps, and mydestination. Patching them works fine.
A few days ago I began forwarding my main email inbox to the mail server on my Zimbra instance, and yesterday I migrated the mailing lists for Bridgemojo. Both are working swimmingly.
A clean untrained Spamassassin lets through a lot of marginal junk mail, but I was delighted to learn that clicking "Junk" in Thunderbird and moving spam to the Junk folder would automatically train Spamassassin. Likewise finding good email in the Junk folder and clicking "Not Junk" would also train Spamassassin.
I can now use "push email" from the Zimbra IMAP server on my Android phone. My old "wu" imapd servers could not support push along with a desktop email client without getting hopelessly tangled. The old servers are also developing a habit of hanging and locking up changes to the mailbox until I find the problem and kill it.
I knew this would be the hardest part of migrating to the cloud. Moving the web services should be a piece of cake. One additional 512MB server should handle those easily, especially with no mail services chewing up memory.
Before publishing this, I moved mojo.whiteoaks.com to my cloud server. Life is good.
Very cool, MoJo. Thanks for writing this up. I have been looking at Zimbra for quite awhile and considering running a copy. Might have to give it a try someday soon.
Good write up Mojo! Question: if you're using virtual hosting, why did you need to play around with the ports? I thought the whole point of virtual hosting is you could use the same port.
Chris, the port problem is because Zimbra runs and configures its own instance of Apache. Rather than try to interfere with Zimbra's Apache configuration, the least intrusive solution is to move Zimbra's Apache to a different port and proxy it on the host-wide Apache instance that I can control without interference.

Q: Calling ajax:beforeSend and ajax:complete on any link_to where remote is true ruby on rails I'm working on a webapp using Ruby on Rails as framework. For all the partial renders, we used link_to with remote true as explained in this answer. However, I would like to bind the all those links to something equivalent to ajax:beforeSend and ajax:complete in order to implement a loader anytime a page is called in jQuery. So far I tried the following but it is not working :
$('a').on('ajax:beforeSend', function() {
  alert("BEFORE");
});

$('a').bind('ajax:complete', function() {
  alert("AFTER");
});

So if you have any other ideas it would be really appreciated if you could let me know. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Here's an example of how I have been using link_to :
<%= link_to({action: "show_card", controller: "pages", id: activ.id, method: :get, :remote => true}, class: "nav-link p-0") %>

A: What is not working ajax or loader if your ajax is working then for loader it should be like this

$(function () {
    $(document).ajaxStart(function() {
        //$("#mySpinner").show();
         alert("BEFORE");
    }).ajaxStop(function() {
        //$("#mySpinner").hide();
        alert("AFTER");
    });
});

A: How about to show loader on element onclick event and hide it on ajax:success?
$('a').on('click', function() {
  alert("BEFORE");
});

$('a').ob('ajax:success', function() {
  alert("AFTER");
});

Make sure to also cover ajax:error
You might also try to subscribe to ajax:send instead of ajax:beforeSend. Because ajax:beforeSend is a local event and can be subscribed to only within the Ajax request object as docs say

A: I found out what it was, when I render new staff partially, I need to rebind it to the event, and apparently even using
$( window ).load(function() {
  $('a').on('ajax:beforeSend', function() {
  alert("BEFORE");
});

$('a').bind('ajax:complete', function() {
  alert("AFTER");
});
});

In the application.js file did not work, so basically to bind it initially I had to put a script tag at the bottom of my page which binds everything once it already rendered everything. Furthermore, anytime I do any remote partial rendering, I also need to rebind everything in the .js.erb file, that way it actually works. I'm there has to be a better way because this seems an awful solution; it is however, a solution for now.


There's been a heat advisory in effect for our city for what feels like a month now, but I think it's only been a few days. When you walk outside your face feels like it's melting slowly, your body instantly starts to perspire, your cheeks turn red. Ah... summer in Texas... Gotta love it, gotta hate it.
I bet you're surprised that I decided to made a soup during one of the hottest months of the year. And, no, it's not a cold soup like Gazpacho. This is a regular ol' warm soup.
The great thing about this soup is that it's pretty light. The ingredients are "summer" ingredients and the broth is thinner. Overall, the soup is still filling.
1. In a large frying pan over medium- high heat, warm the oil. Then, add onion, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened and browning, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and oregano and cook for an additional 1 minute.
2. Pour 1 cup of the stock in the pan to dislodge any bits on the bottom. Transfer the contents to the slow cooker and stir in the drained beans, remaining 4 cups of stock, and tomatoes. Cover and cook on low setting for about 5 1/2 to 6 hours.
3. Stir in the pasta, zucchini, 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper, re-cover, and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes. The beans should be very tender and the pasta al dente.
4. Use the back of a spoon to mash some of the beans against the side of the slow cooker to thicken the soup, then mix well.
5. Scoop soup into bowl and top with a spoonful of pesto, basil and Parmesan cheese.
This soup made a ton for two people, and is perfect for leftovers! In fact, J took some to work today in his nifty little container.


This gif, made from a video of a drunken criminal in Drogheda, Ireland is so funny it'll knock you out, make you sh*t bricks, and all those other puns you were expecting.
When the police arrived outside of Gerry Brady's Pub to investigate the incident, the car thief accused the pub's owner of "attacking" him.
Fast-forward to Irish cops keeling over with laughter after reviewing surveillance footage that showed him out cold after losing a fight with a car.


Before sports marketers rush to take credit for SpongeTech's impressive $70 million in booked orders for first quarter 2010, the swine flu probably deserves most of the credit. SpongeTech is taking the sports marketing world by storm with a fast growing $20 million budget (compared to $8MM in '08). However, demand was "likely in response to the high level of awareness surrounding the upcoming flu season in the northern hemisphere," the company said in a press statement.
"We believe that we will continue to see strong growth within the Company going into the holiday season. Our brand marketing strategy has been successful thus far and we believe we are positioning SpongeTech to become the next household brand name," SpongeTech's COO, Steven Moskowitz said.
If this is the next billion dollar company, sports marketers may be smart to get in on the action early, perhaps even at a discounted proposal. $20 Million is still relative light for advertising standards, but certainly nothing to sneeze at for sports marketing.
SpongeTech's products are being ordered and reordered by various major national retail outlets including drugstores, supermarkets, membership warehouse clubs, and big box stores and online at www.spongetech.com. The Company's Direct Response marketing program has also been showing increase return from its commercials that are aired nationally on cable and satellite channels for its Car Care and Pet Care products as well as its newest Children's Bath Sponge. The Company's marketing campaign continues to support the retail distribution with its sports sponsorship portfolio which includes leveraging several NFL teams, MLB teams, the World Football Challenge, Sarah Fisher Racing and the US Open.
With retail distribution growing in importance, SpongeTech may be wise to spend so much on brand awareness, however, as they seek to grow distribution with retail chains like Wal-Mart one could probably assume that they will have to create broader (and more activated) sponsorships to appease co-marketing partners, as well as demonstrate product attributes in crowded environments.
While naming rights have in the past been considered the most effective path to name awareness in sports, SpongeTech is taking a different path and it will be interesting to see the results. Is it a mile wide, inch deep strategy or an efficient way to buy media? Probably depends on your profession and perspective.
Many people know the name, but how many know what SpongeTech does?
Second to that, is sports the ideal audience for SpongeTech's core consumer? "Our target market is women 25-54, so sports may seem like a strange way to reach them, but it is working, because there are lots of women watching sports, too," Director of Marketing, Jack Schwartzberg, told SBJ.
Can sports marketing make "SpongeTech" a verb or will sports sponsorship be the name awareness vehicle left by the side of a road heading towards a deeper level of brand awareness?

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Ever since soon-to-be Hall of Famer Pat Bowlen stepped down from his daily duties as owner of the Denver Broncos, team president and CEO Joe Ellis ran the team in a "What would Pat do?" sort of way.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has approved legislation to raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in a decade, to $15 an hour.
Democrats pushed through the bill Thursday with a party-line vote of 231-199, but it has almost no chance in the Republican-controlled Senate.

You might think this headline is a joke, but it's not. Microsoft presented what equates to a forty inch tablet PC at the CES convention last week. Many have commented on Microsoft entering the tablet market with Windows 7 Tablets. There have been questions on whether Microsoft can deliver a computing device that doesn't have a keyboard or require a pen. After all, Windows 7's touch features are okay, but when combined with small controls in Windows 7, they aren't always the easiest to use without reaching for the mouse.
The irony is that Microsoft has been working with a touch-based system that lacks a keyboard for many years. They've had multi-touch working on their keyboardless device. Most people that have played with the device that Microsoft have wanted one. The thing that stopped most was not the desire to have it, but the five figure price.
Up to this point, the device couldn't really be called a tablet; however, if you were to take an Android tablet from 2010 and increase it screen size from 7 inches by a factor of 6 and do the same with it thickness, you might very well end up with a 40 inch screen on a device that is about 4 inches thick. Granted, this "tablet" is a bit big to carry around, so you might want to use it as a table instead.
If you haven't figured out my references to this point, I've been talking about Microsoft's Surface machines. The newest version they are work on is a forty inch device that is about four inches thick. The device they presented at CES is the Samsung SUR40 (see picture).
For all practical purposes, what the new Surface systems do match what tablets do. They have multi-touch interfaces and can run applications. You can connect to Internet, play games, and more. It is running a Microsoft operating system.
The Surface machine is more than just a standard table. One of the things that a Microsoft Surface machine can do that a tablet can't (today) is "see". The original Surface machines have cameras built into them that allowed tags placed on them to be read. The new machines have what is being called pixel sensing technology that in addition to recognizing touch can also "see" what is placed on the tablet. Set a piece of paper on the Surface and it can see what is on it using its pixel sensing technology. These infrared cameras allow it to scan information. The potential of this is huge.
With the original Surface machines costing five figures, the question of price was one quickly asked. Reports of a price currently put it at around $7,600 for the Samsung device. Still three or four times too high for the average consumer, but a lot lower than the previous release.
The end result is that while this might be the largest tablet, it is also one of the most expensive! More importantly, it is hard to look at the device and state that Microsoft has no good experience doing touch-based systems or tablets. Obviously, they really have been playing in the space for years. Let's hope they learn to shrink the experience and all the technology to something more portable and cost-effective as well!
For those of you that have been following Microsoft's Surface computers, there is one outstanding question to be answered. When Microsoft previously made a big deal out of the next release of the Surface, they were demonstrating "Second light". This was technology that displayed information onto a piece of plastic held above a Surface machine. What happens to Second Light with these new computers? When I get the answer to that question, I'll let you know. When push comes to shove, if we lose second light and get a four inch device with pixel sensing technology, then I believe the tradeoff will be worth it!


I'm sorry you're in pain; ouchie! I hope it heals soon. Yes for hat requests! Yay for early spring cleaning; we have stuff to donate and keep forgetting to put out a box when the drive comes through our court. I feel so behind in Box of Sox this year as I'm not even done yet with my Christmas Eve CO. Oh well, that's what happens when I have diverse interests.
Thanks Stef, I am not doing the ACTUAL Box of Sox challenge because it's too "have to" and I won't make it. I'm basically just creating a box of socks. That's it. on my own timeline, if it has 1 pair in it, so be it. We love this crap remember? Also Christmas Eve CO is just a newborn project. You got a lot going on to. Go with the Flow.
Owie .... groin pulls are the pits!! Hope yours eases up soon.
Good luck with the knitting plan. Looks like some really good stuff in the pipeline.
Thanks Dee, I dream about the knitting plan even while I'm knitting!
Sorry to hear about your pulled muscle and hope it improves daily! Good work getting rid of stuff; I need to do that also. Good luck with your knitting projects! Isn't it great to get a request?
I'm super excited about the request Judy. I do not keep in good touch with this cousin and her family though there is no love lost. My goal this weekend is to get 2 bags out. Trash and donate. I have Monday off so this is doable!
Thanks CJ. Everything is on the up and up. I hope you and your family have a great weekend too.
It's maddening when you know exactly where an object should be, and it simply isn't there. Hopefully, the first sock will reveal itself soon. You have some wonderful knitting projects planned. My box of socks in 2018 will not be for myself: my sock drawer is overstuffed.
I've been working on downsizing, decluttering, and tossing the last two weeks. I've got a lot boxed for donation, but the weather hasn't cooperated to actually allow me to drive to the thrift shop that I love. Hopefully, the boxes will be out of my house soon. Keep up the gentle stretches, and your pulled muscle will start to heal.
It IS maddening! Especially this piece that I was pretty sure I knew where it was. However I am keeping moments like this in the forefront of my mind when I feel overwhelmed or just poopy about the decluttering process.
LOL! I'm serious Chris, I'm going to do it, and trust me I will reach out if I get super lost. I'm supposed to do another one of these as well! Eegads!!
Ouch! sorry about the pulled muscle. Chai cinnamon swirl coffee cake sounds wonderful! Your line-up of projects is great. I was thinking of doing a box of socks...but I know if I committed that would put me right off knitting socks. I'm loving making fingerless mitts - fast, easy, fun!
I have to admit the sharpness of the initial pain was a bit surprising. I feel like I'm getting better now, so this is good. I thought the Chai Cinnamon Swirl Cake sounded good too, I'm just not super pleased with the outcome. I will keep baking cakes and see if it's worth workshopping it again. I'm going to cast on another pair of mitts this weekend too. So much fun!
Honey, it doesn't sound like you're resting to me!
I have lost lots of single socks. Sometimes its due to washing one by mistake, having it felt, and hoping I have enough for a third. Then there's the sock I left in the Honolulu airport ladies' room in 2014. That one will never return to me.
HA! omg I'm sorry I laughed so hard when I read about the Honolulu airport sock never coming home. Do you think our sock knitting bags are too small or something? I once rediscovered a "Halloween sock" just to realize it was way too small. ?!?
The missing sock thing happened to me once. I thought I'd put both of them in a gift bag to give to a friend. I got to dinner, proudly handed her the bag, she open it up an said "Wow. ONE sock!!!" I was so embarrassed. Happily, she thought it was funny, and luckily the other sock was at home on the floor right below where I was packing things up. Socks dont make much noise when they fall so I must not have heard it when I dropped it.
LOL. "Socks don't make much noise when they fall ..." I felt your embarassment, but good friends have a good sense of humor and it all worked out. Pretty awesome story.
Oh dear. Sock sock come back to you! When someone asks for another hat, Im so happy!! Your knit plans sound ...well sound! Keep healing!
Kathy your magic chant worked! I love that it's another hat they want and not an afghan. LOL.
Yes, handknit socks make the world go round!
You are so ambitious! I am just wanting to use up more stash and get a measly sweater knit, at this point I don't even care what pattern it is. Good luck.
I hope that you are feeling better! And hooray that your missing sock was found. Love your knitting goals for the year. Flaum and Ellen (a possible dessert name?) are on my future garments list as well. My goal for this year is to knit at least one sweater since I made none last year.


Most people choose to file bankruptcy because they need to lessen their debt burden. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is one good way of doing that, with the court overseeing an agreement between the debtor and creditors on a repayment plan. The creditors agree to cooperate because it is better to get something in a repayment plan than nothing should the filer instead pursue a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Debtors like Chapter 13s because they can restructure their debts and hopefully pay less over the course of the plan than what's owed.
In some cases where creditors wait too long to file what's known as a "proof of claim", Chapter 13s can be even more advantageous to debtors. To find out more about Chapter 13 bankruptcies and why creditors need to act fast to ensure their claim isn't waived, keep reading.
How does the Chapter 13 process work with respect to creditors?
In a typical Chapter 13 bankruptcy, once a case has been filed, the clerk of the bankruptcy court will send out a notice to all the creditors listed on the debtor's petition for bankruptcy. Creditors are then given a deadline to file what's known as a "proof of claim". A proof of claim simply lists what the debtor owes the creditor and supports those numbers with any related documentation.
The deadline for filing a proof of claim in a Chapter 13 (or Chapter 7) bankruptcy case is 90 days from the date of the first meeting of the creditors. Technically this deadline only applies to non-governmental creditors, governmental agencies are allowed to wait longer. This deadline is typically included in the first notice sent around to creditors, giving everyone ample time to consider their options.
What happens if the creditor fails to act in time?
If a creditor fails to file a claim within the allotted time, then their debt can be eliminated once the Chapter 13 filer completes his or her repayment plan. A recent case out of the Sixth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel grappled with this exact issue. In the In re Trench case the court said that creditors are given ample warning to assert their claims and, as such, are expected to do so in a timely manner. The Court decided that waiting eight days after the normal claims bar date was unacceptable, even in cases of excusable neglect. The Court said that "excusable neglect" was not a valid grounds for an untimely filing and that, as a result, the claim (and the corresponding debt) were not included in the repayment plan.


We had extra help on this one, from FPCC staff Ryan, Nick, and Mark, and interns Lance and John. Past steward and present Plants of Concern volunteer Jackie Whitler also came out, as did Mark from Whistler Woods.

Q: Configure PrimeUI with web application I'm new to prime-ui (PrimeUI is a spin-off project from the popular JSF Component Suite, PrimeFaces). I have downloaded prime-ui-0.8.bundle.zip file from http://www.primefaces.org/downloads.html . I want to configure it with my simple web application having html pages. I don't know which css and js files do I need to include so that it will start working.
Please help.
Thanks

A: You need to files two be located in your page. prime-ui-0.8.min.css and prime-ui-0.8.min.js. These two files are in production folder of the zip file you downloaded. You also need jquery.js and jquery-ui.js in addition to the themeroller theme.

Q: How to access $USER in inner sudo-bash script? I have a simple script like this to write into a file:
#!/bin/bash
sudo bash -c 'cat <<EOT >> foo/bar.txt
  Hello ${USER}
EOT'

When I run it the content of foo/bar.txt is:
Hello root

My username:
$ whoami
timo

So I expected it to output "Hello timo". The result of "Hello root" does make sense though since I run it through the sudo command.
Is there any way to access the user name of the "outer bash" somehow, so it outputs "Hello timo" instead of "Hello root"?

Update 2018-12-04
I'd like to point out that I saw that other post before opening this question and the suggestions from there didn't work (who am i and logname). The only option that actually worked is the accepted answer from this thread by kvantour using ${SUDO_USER}. In the other post it was suggested that this wouldn't work:

$SUDO_USER doesn't work if you are using sudo su -

So, no need to downvote imho.

A: You might want to try:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo bash -c 'cat - <<EOF >> foo/bar.txt
  Hello ${SUDO_USER}
EOF'

sudo utilizes the following environment variables:

*

*SUDO_GID:  Set to the group ID of the user who invoked sudo.

*SUDO_USER: Set to the login name of the user who invoked sudo.

  source: man sudo

If you cannot use SUDO_USER and it has to be USER, then you have to double quote your string your parse to bash. Double quotes will still substitute the variables:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo bash -c "cat - <<EOF >> foo/bar.txt
  Hello ${USER}
EOF"

A: This should work for You. Replace ${USER} with this:
$(who -m | cut -d' ' -f1)

who -m provides further login info that's why cut first field

It is shown that a simple modification of synaptic structures (of the Hopfield type) constructed to produce autoassociative attractors, produces neural networks whose attractors are correlated with several (learned) patterns used in the construction of the matrix. The modification stores in the matrix a fixed sequence of uncorrelated patterns. The network then has correlated attractors, provoked by the uncorrelated stimuli. Thus, the network converts the temporal order (or temporal correlation) expressed by the sequence of patterns, into spatial correlations expressed in the distributions of neural activities in attractors. The model captures phenomena observed in single electrode recordings in performing monkeys by Miyashita et al. The correspondence is as close as to reproduce the fact that given uncorrelated patterns as sequentially learned stimuli, the attractors produced are significantly correlated up to a separation of 5 (five) in the sequence. This number 5 is universal in a range of parameters, and requires essentially no tuning. We then discuss learning scenarios that could lead to this synaptic structure as well as experimental predictions following from it. Finally, we speculate on the cognitive utility of such an arrangement.


As you hire new employees, create new positions, and grow your business, you may be considering flexible hours for your employees. Depending on the nature of your business, it may or may not be possible. If most of your work is done on a computer and online, that makes it easier to incorporate flexibility. There are benefits for small businesses who can offer a flexible schedule.
Flexible schedules lend to increased productivity. When your team feels appreciated, they are more likely to go above and beyond for the company. Research has shown that highly engaged workers put forth six times the effort of non-engaged peers. Flexible schedule offerings can lower your overhead cost by allowing employees to work from home. If there are employees who frequently work from home, you may be able to have a smaller office space which will save you money on rent.
While you should always offer employees vacation time, less paid time off will be needed if an employee can work around family needs, get personal errands done, and avoid traffic. Employees will call in sick less frequently when they know they can come in later or leave earlier to accommodate doctor's appointments and other obligations.
Finally, flexibility will ensure longer retention. It costs much less for an employer to buy another laptop for an employee so they can work from home or while traveling than to spend money replacing valued employees who quit due to a rigid schedule.
Of course, the feasibility and extent of the flexibility will vary for every business and the decision is up to you. If you can accommodate your employees' needs for lifestyle balance, it will benefit your business. Make it happen!

Q: How can I make both HTTP and Websocket requests at the same time on the same server? I am trying to run a server doing HTTP and Websocket requests. The HTTP requests will be used to pull data from a local file called "geo-data.json", which I need to show a map of NYC using D3.js and the topojson library.
I am using Node.js to run the server. My package.json file looks like this:
{
  "name": "inputusername_showlistofusers",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "server.js",
  "scripts": {
  "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
  "start": "node server.js"
 },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
  "node-geocoder": "^3.27.0",
  "ws": "^7.3.0"
 }
}

My Websocket configuration on the client side looks like this:
var wsUri = "ws://localhost:8080";
var ws = new WebSocket(wsUri);

ws.onopen = function (evt) {
    console.log("1. Connected (from Client)")
}

ws.onmessage = function (message) {
    var messageArray = JSON.parse(message.data)
    console.log("5. This is the list of user names:", messageArray)
}

Also, on the client side I am including my D3 code to read the geo data from the "geo-data.json"  and the "nyc-streets.json" files by using D3.json :
d3.json('geo-data.json', function (error, data) {
//code
}

d3.json('nyc-streets.json', function (error, data) {
//code
}

On the server side, I am using Websockets to broadcast a message. The code looks like this:
var WebSocket = require("ws");
wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 });

wss.on("connection", function connection(ws) {

    console.log("2. Connected (from Server)")

    ws.on("message", function incoming(message) {

        console.log("3. received from the client ", message);

        wss.clients.forEach(function each(client) {
            if (client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {

                client.send(JSON.stringify(message));
                console.log("7. All names connected: ", message)
             }
        })
    })
})

The problem: when I run server.js  using "node server.js", the code (both on client and server) that requires Websocket runs smoothly, but the one that requires https does not:
d3.json('geo-data.json', function (error, data)

and I get the following error (I am opening the index.html file using File/Users…):

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'file:///Users..." from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS
policy: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.

So I tried to fix this using http-server to run the server and also by making the following change on package.json :  "scripts":{start: "index.html"} However, now the Websocket code does not work, and I get the following error:

(index):112 WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:8080/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 200

How can I make both HTTP and Websocket requests at the same time?
Thanks in advance.

A: Gonna post an overwhelming amount of info here and then I'll summarize at the end. Ultimately, Web Sockets is probably not the tool that you want to use. Likely, web sockets is working but it has a subtle difference from what you were expecting. Web Sockets are great for constant communication. A messenger or chat is a great use for this as you will constantly be checking for new messages.
I suggest using express instead. Here is a simple file that should get you started: https://www.tutorialsteacher.com/nodejs/serving-static-files-in-nodejs . It serves all the files that are in a public folder. You may want to move your files into such a folder.
The big issue is that the function d3.json( does not connect to your sockets. It looks up the file locally (which is possible but ultimately results in the CORS security error). That function is responsible for retrieving data. If you called the correct url d3.json('localhost:8080/geo-data.json under the new Express app, then you should have success. You will not need to do anything for network connections on the client side (no websockets or express on your client)


PHOENIX, AZ (July 17, 2012) – Karyn Malinowski, director of the Equine Science Center at Rutgers University and professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, received the 2012 American Society of Animal Science and Equine Science Society's Equine Science Award. She was honored at the society's annual meeting in Phoenix, AZ.
Malinowski's research and extension programs concentrate on improving the wellbeing and quality of life of the equine athlete while ensuring the vitality and viability of the equine industry, both statewide and nationally. Malinowski's research on recombinant equine growth hormone (eST) led to the licensing of that drug in Australia for the treatment of geriatric horses. Her research on the effects of aging has resulted in a large body of information on the care of the older equine athlete.
Malinowski is an alumna of Rutgers, where she earned her Bachelor's degree in Animal Science, a Master's degree in Animal Science, and a Doctorate in Zoology. She joined the faculty in 1978 as the first female Equine Extension Specialist in the United States. During her tenure at Rutgers, Malinowski has been devoted to educating young people through her involvement with the New Jersey 4-H Horse Program, the American Youth Horse Council and through her interactions with students. Malinowski has also taken the lead role in building the equine science program at Rutgers University. She has long been active in cultivating funding for research and extension programs from horse industry sources as well as research companies.
