See 10 rare Minecraft items and how to get them!
Everyone knows the amount of content present in Minecraft. Even after many (MANY) hours of play, it is always possible to find unknown mechanics and items and, often, we don't even know what they are for. Some can be drops from rare monsters, others only appear under specific circumstances, others seem to be of no use at all. Anyway, check below 10 super rare items in Minecraft and how to get them!
1. Monster generator
Have you ever thought about having an infinite supply of skeletons, zombies and other monsters for you to farm the drops you want? That's what the Monster Spawner does. The item has the appearance of a cage and can be found from time to time during mining.
The dungeons where the Monster Spawn is usually found are dark and dangerous to enter, but once you've cleared the place and lit it with torches, you can easily adopt it as your own. Unfortunately, Monster Spawners cannot be collected for the inventory, meaning any farming room you want should be exactly where you found the item.
2. Pearls of the End
Pearls of the End are dropped by the Enderman (satire of the Slenderman), a shadowy creature that appears at night to steal blocks. Unlike other Minecraft creatures like skeletons and zombies, the Enderman is a relatively rare creature that will only show up to you once in a while. Also, the monster teleports everywhere once you find it.
A good tip for fighting the Enderman is to equip a pumpkin on its head, which causes the creature to stop attacking until you attack first. By collecting the Ender Pearls, you will be able to throw them to teleport to the point where they landed. This can make your wanderings a lot more fun.
3. Sea Lantern
Sea Lanterns are glowing blocks that emit a light of 15, capable of helping you a lot when exploring castles, dungeons or any dark location. To find them, it is necessary to hold your breath and explore underwater monuments and ruins, since Sea Lanterns are only generated in these places to serve as lighting.
Because they are found in few situations, whenever you get the chance, collect as many Sea Lanterns as possible.
4. Sela
Roaming around the world of Minecraft is much more fun on top of a mount. However, this is only possible if you use a Saddle. This item allows you to ride and control a horse, donkey, mule and even a pig. Without the saddle you can ride the creatures but they will move on their own.
Saddles cannot be crafted and can only be found in chests inside strongholds, temple villages, End City and Nether Fortress. Although the range of places is wide, the percentage of a chest that drops a Saddle is quite low.
5. Incandescent Summer
Glowing Sticks are essential items for alchemy in Minecraft as they are used in crafting Potions Support. However, the item is not found in the Overworld (scenario where you spawn), but only in the Nether dimension.
To get to the Nether dimension, you need to collect enough obsidian (which can only be mined with a diamond pickaxe) to assemble a frame (4 wide and 5 tall minimum) and activate it with fire inside. This will form the Nether Portal structure, which allows you to travel between worlds. Once in the Nether, just defeat a mob called Blaze, who will then drop the Glowing Rod.
6. Slime Slime
Slime Slime is the kind of item you don't miss at all, but when you have it in your inventory, it opens up a world of possibilities. To get Slime Slime you need to find some swamp biome and kill mobs called Slime. These creatures multiply into smaller versions when you attack them, so be careful. Upon defeating them, the Slime Slime item will be dropped.
Slime Slime's greatest utility is that it serves in the crafting of the Sticky Piston item, which has the ability to push most blocks and help control your world.
7. Label
Have you ever thought about naming your animals, items and weapons with whatever name you want? Tags may not be any fun for new players who want to worry about more useful gear and items. However, the item is well liked by more experienced players who want to label their stuff and finally name their pig Zezin and their sword Bread Knife or something like that.
Tags cannot be crafted and can only be obtained from chests in dungeons, fishing or trading with villagers.
8. Sheep "Jeb" and "Dinnerbone"
Speaking of Tags, know that they can provide two hilarious and very random easter eggs. One of them is the Sheep "Jeb" (nickname of one of the Minecraft developers), which occurs when you use a Tag named "jeb_," and place it on a sheep. As you do this, the sheep's wool will alternate between the colors of the rainbow over and over again.
The second easter egg happens when you use a Tag tagged "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" and place it on any animal, which will then be upside down.
9. Totem of Immortality
The Totem of Immortality is able to prevent the death of a player who has the item equipped in one of their hands. If the player takes fatal damage, they will have 1 HP instead of dying. Additionally, the item can remove effects and provide Regeneration II for 40 seconds and Absorption II for 5 seconds.
To obtain the Totem of Immortality you need to venture into the Forest Mansions that spawn randomly in the worlds. There you can find a mob called Summoner that, when defeated, drops the Totem.
10. Dragon Egg
The Dragon Egg is one of the rarest items in the game as only one is spawned per world. To find it, the player needs to defeat an Ender Dragon. However, the Egg cannot be collected or mined, other than teleporting when you click on it. To get it, you need to stop him from teleporting using one of these tactics:
Secure the egg in a closed place so it has nowhere to run;
If the egg is on top of the portal, create a layer below it, then dig a hole and use a piston to push it.
Break it using a torch.
Remembering that the Dragon Egg is a purely cosmetic item that works as a kind of trophy.

Returning to Milan felt like waking up from a lackluster dream and returning to reality. Our time in Paris and England had only made me miss Italy, so I was relieved to be back. For those of you who haven't been following our journey, Milan was the very first stop on our Euro Trip, and I had surprised myself by immediately falling in love with it. This second chance to explore the city only solidified my ability to see myself living here.
We were able to catch the Malpensa train into the city center like pros this time. Anthony effortlessly led us to Hotel Star without even glancing at Google Maps. And even the receptionist at our hotel remembered us from last time. Who knew how quickly one could become regulars in a foreign country?!
After taking our time to settle into our room, we caught the train to the Expo, about half an hour away from our hotel. Expo Milano 2015 is basically the World's Fair, taking place for six months in a different city each year, to showcase exhibits from countries around the world. This year's theme is Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life, which seemed fitting for us. Throughout our entire trip, we hadn't been able to escape the country's excitement over the Expo, as there were advertisements for it in every Italian city we visited. It seemed to be perfect planning to end our trip with such an important event.
We arrived in the early afternoon, which was probably not the best idea. We had completely forgotten that Italians take afternoon siestas! Many of the Expo workers, clad in colorful Expo t-shirts, were just arriving, and some pavilions weren't open yet.
Most Western countries were more focused on sustainability. Belgium was especially proud of its PermaFungi technology.
The poorer countries were clustered together, presumably because they could not afford their own pavilions, and centered around a common theme such as chocolate, rice, or fruit. These pavilions were more dedicated to selling goods than to anything else.
The Muslim countries always outclassed everyone else. Countries like Turkmenistan and Saudi Arabia had incredibly lavish pavilions.
Surprisingly, our favorite pavilion belonged to Estonia. Apparently, they invented the swing set and Viks bike, which Anthony had fun riding. The pavilion also showcased a classical concert, restaurant, and mirrored forest. These smaller European countries were definitely trying to lure future tourists.
By the time dusk came around, more and more Italians arrived at the Expo, and everything finally felt more alive. We watched costumed Italian men dance with flags and batons. They were much better than cheerleaders!
At the end of the night, we gathered around the Tree of Life for an epic light/water/fireworks show. The Tree of Life is a huge lit-up tree in front of the Italian Pavilion. It was during the light show that I started crying. Not again! My emotions were a mix of overwhelming happiness for being in Italy again, and bittersweet envy that all these people around me could live in this extraordinary country while I had to leave tomorrow. My heart ached, just as it did when we were leaving Positano for Paris. Leaving Italy the second time is no easier than the first. The next day, we visited Milan's extravagant Duomo, which took six centuries to complete. The interior is huge — the fifth largest in the world. Even Anthony was impressed by the Gothic architecture. We took the stairs to the ornate rooftop, which was unlike any other roof we've ever seen. It was so ostentatious, with flying buttresses, spires, and bronze Baroque sculptures. My favorite part of visiting the Duomo was sharing the roof with three Tibetan monks. They were such an odd sight, wearing bright orange and taking photos of each other. (Monks can own smart phones??) After the Duomo, we returned to the stunning Vittoria Emanuel Galleria, where I once had the best gelato of my life. We went to the same gelateria and tried a different flavor (fior di latte) to confirm that it was still the best. Was it? Just like the city itself, the gelato was as fantastic as I had remembered. We roamed around Brera, an adorable neighborhood full of art galleries and colorful apartments that reminded me of Rome, and watched as chic women in stilettos biked through the cobblestone roads. Milanese women will have my absolute respect for the rest of my not-as-stylish life.
Fly into Europe on a round-trip ticket. Not only are round-trip flights usually cheaper, it's nice to start and end your trip in the same place. Beginning and ending our trip in Milan helped everything feel complete, like we could tie up the loose ends of our journey.
Stay at the Expo until the very end. The Tree of Life show was the best part of the entire Expo and was one of the most touching spectacles I've ever witnessed. It easily topped 4th of July fireworks and Bastille Day in Paris.

Q: How To Perform Multiple Radio Button Click in Selenium Webdriver How to make condition to perform multiple radio button click (see image below)...?
multiple radio button click
I've tried for hours, but I got only single radio button click (see attached image)
single radio button click
List<WebElement> radiobutton = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@type='radio']"));
    System.out.println("Total element is " + radiobutton.size());

    for (int i = 0; i < radiobutton.size(); i++) {

        // if you are getting stale element exception because of the page
        // reload
        radiobutton = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@type='radio']"));

        System.out.println(radiobutton.get(i).getAttribute("value"));

        // select your radio and click to go to next page
        radiobutton.get(i).click();

        Thread.sleep(3000);

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='btnCheckFare']"))
                .click();

        Thread.sleep(3000);
    }

A: I saw your video.You have multiple groups of radio button and you can select one radio button in each group.
You have to use 2 loops,one for group and one inner loop for select radio button in a group.
If you have experience in programming then you can do it easily.Otherwise provide the link where we can see this functionality.

Why Purchase a High Definition TV?
Danger: Your advisor may be killing your career!
The Certified Burris Life Coach sets the standard for Life Coaching. This is done by virtue of data collection with each client that proves what they claim they can produce. In the future every Certified Life Coach will be required to do this. Burris Life Coaching does this right now.
Until now, there has not been a clear definition or standard for the term Life Coach. Everyone agrees that Life Coaching is about helping people set and accomplish their goals. The new Definitive Standard of Life Coaching and the old standard definitions from Dictionary.com and International Coach Federation now have a major difference.
• Life Coach Definition from Dictionary.com – An advisor who helps people with problems, decisions, and goal attainment in daily life.
• Life Coach Definition from International Coach Federation - Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.
• The New Life Coach Definition – A Certified Life Coach will guide you through the clinically proven process of how to change your subconscious programming to match your conscious goals.
The reason one must address the process of the subconscious when setting a goal is the subconscious runs approximately four times faster than you can speak. This is why you can type or drive while talking on the phone because the subconscious is already programmed to do the other tasks.
The dilemma is that everything you have seen, smelled, heard, tasted or felt is stored in the subconscious mind. The subconscious uses this information to develop and establish how you will perceive your world. This is referred to as your subconscious programming. These programs can emerge at any time of the day or night and will sabotage your goals if it is contrary to your subconscious programming.
If you do not know how the subconscious works you are guessing how to obtain your goals. It simply does not make any sense to guess what might work while the subconscious is running amuck. The best example of the subconscious running amuck is the over 95 percent fail rate for people who want to lose weight. You will almost always be out gunned by the subconscious if you do not know how the subconscious works.
Every Life Coach must be equipped with the training and infrastructure to prove their claims and what they can provide, each time they see a client. This is the standard that has been established and the standard that every client will now require. This clear definition for "Life Coach" has not yet been met by practitioners in the coaching , counseling or psychology fields.
The question every Life Coach must be able to answer is "What determines human behavior?" As a Life Coach you can not help someone move forward if you do not definitively know what is moving them forward.

Solo parents a political football
Filed under: General — JohnPotter @ 2:32 pm Wed 22nd June 2005
Across New Zealand society, marriage has become unfashionable. Sole parents have increased from 10 per cent of families with dependent children in 1976 to 29 per cent today – higher than in any other developed country except the United States. By the age of 20, 35 per cent of Pakeha children, 49 per cent of Pacific children and 57 per cent of Maori children have lived in homes without one parent, usually the father.
Forty-one per cent of Pakeha babies, 55 per cent of Pacific babies and 76 per cent of Maori babies were born last year to unmarried parents.
The Labour Government sees nothing to worry about. In a Herald interview five years ago, Social Development Minister Steve Maharey said that as long as sole parents were "able to provide love, discipline and sound nurturing, things are going to be okay".
But National leader Don Brash told the Orewa Rotary Club that the domestic purposes benefit (DPB) had contributed to the growth in fatherlessness and births outside marriage: "It is idle to pretend this is anything but a disastrous trend."
Sole parents are accustomed to being political footballs, but Brash's proposals would be tougher than any previous regime since the DPB was created in 1973. They raise questions. Why does New Zealand have such a high rate of sole parenthood? Does it matter?
The DPB is a major factor in the rise of sole parenthood. Mothers who, before 1973, felt stuck in marriages can now leave, knowing the state will support them.
A British study of child benefits in 2002 found that New Zealand's DPB was the ninth most generous out of 22 developed countries. In contrast, New Zealand treats couples with children worse than most. It was the only one of the 22 countries that paid neither family benefits nor child tax credits to a couple with two children earning the average men's wage plus half the average women's wage.
The latest increase in family support has not changed that. National calculated in January that a family comprising a father earning $12.50 an hour and a fulltime mother with a baby would get just $23,254 a year after allowing for family support and taxes.
But if the mother went on the DPB the couple could get $35,780 between them.
In the past few decades, women's reproductive and financial independence fed a new wave of feminism that was part of a general liberation of individuals from economic bondage to the farm or the production line, bondage to the church and social bondage to the family.
Marriage came to seem oppressive and patriarchal, embodied in vows to "love, honour and obey".
Auckland Women's Centre worker Leonie Morris, who wrote a thesis on sole parents in 1999, says a big factor breaking up marriages is domestic violence. A 1996 survey found that 73 per cent of New Zealand women, including 90 per cent of Maori women, had experienced at least one act of physical or sexual violence by their partners.
"That attitude is blind domestic violence," she says. "It's about men wanting to control women, control their behaviour and still believing that what they say should go, that they should rule the home."
Economist Paul Callister has uncovered another surprising factor producing more sole mothers – a shortage of men. Last year, New Zealand had 109 women for every 100 men at the peak childbearing age of the early 30s.
The imbalance is worsened when you consider only "marriageable" men, now that women are better educated and more men than in the past are unemployed, earning low and insecure incomes or in jail.

The usual one-sided misandric shite from fems who'll rationalise mothers en masse disposing of thier male hubbies because they're financially better off that way, by saying men's domestic violence is a major reason. Yeah right.
And then they have the stupidity to wonder why menfolk are buggering off to other places. Duh!
Fri 24th June 2005 at 1:09 am
Well then, I guess that is the reason there are so many divorces – wimmin know they are better off finacially without thier 'birthing partners'. And if I know wimmin, they are never happy with what they have. What woman would not want to divorce thier birthing partner after having her child ? She is way better off on the DPB – put in place there by the 'Government'. Yet wimmin complain that men are never dedicated to a relationship e.t.c Maybe Leonie Morris hasn't looked at WHY there is domestic violence – she isn't (and everyone else) looking at the cause as to why men are angry in relationships. Perhaps it's the wimmin who are trying to control the men, and thereby making them violent because of it – with all thier demands – I know I get mad when someone tries to control me.
Ethos says:
A sorry state of affairs when the 1970's agenda item of the Socialist Action League to "dismantle the family in New Zealand" can be ticked as complete.
As for the femmi-nazi comment about violence, answer us this: why are statistics about DV only compiled for man=perpetrator and woman=victim?
In reality, I meet many, many, many more men who are subjected to physical (attacks with sharp kitchen implements, sports equipment, furniture et al), verbal and psychological abuse from women.
It is also sad that our socio-communist neo-fascist homosexual government so obviously intend to complete the work started by the Socialist Action League in the early 70's.
My thoughts and wishes go out to every child afflicted with this malevolent intent.
Sat 29th October 2005 at 12:48 am
Obviously none of the above comments so far written by anyone that has any idea about what is involved in the day to day life of being a sole parent. Living in Auckland on a benefit is a week to week battle of robbing Peter to give to Paul. Without cultural capital and extended support networks each week becomes a battle to stay afloat. With average rents at around $300+ for a 3 bedroom and the DPB base rate at a whoping $290+/- and a max of approx $114 accomodation you could be getting give or take $400. Leaving after rent $100 to feed and pay your bills such as power, ph, water excess. To clothe yourself and your children, bus fare, hygiene products, lawns if not included in rent, childrens sports, uniforms, school books and the list goes on are all considered luxuries and the money must be pulled out of your you know what??? or the magic money tree! You do not have to be an account to do the math and no there's no picnic or glamour lifestyle! As well as the anxiety and stress about money comes the psychological effects of social pitty and the mass of stereotypical labels. Not to mention also the attack on self-esteem due to the inability to participate in today's capitalist society and moral judgement over the intimacy issues. Also the pressures of living a judgemental consumer society increasingly more and more stratified by what you wear, what you earn, where you live and what you drive. Yes presently solo parents by majority are women making poverty a feminist issue, but there is a huge increase in solo fathers in NZ something like 1 in 7 now. Many in our society think of solo parents as people that have failed on an individual level until it happens to them or effects someone they know. But we can be sure that much of the breakdown of the 1950's Nuclear Family model(Mum, Dad 2 kids)is due to a combo of individualism and socioeconomic policy. This was a good mode of production supported by government during the post war boom. But historically families haven't always looked this way, in many cultures they still don't could this just mean the family unit is evolving again! Something that is hardly mentioned are the changes in the 1980's (1982?) divorse act that abolished public humiliation in the local newspapers over why marriages ended..mainly adultery!! Women have had to adjust to this individual promoting capitalist society by adapting our gender roles and responsibilities (often not through want but neccessity) it's time for men to wake up, catch up and evolve too and for society to aid and support this proccess. Beware in the future we may see more and more solo fathers, I think they'l be socially worse off than women because of male bullshit stereotypes and stubborn kiwi male pride.(not to affend or stereotype all men). It will then be men that must deal with the stress of raising well rounded children, balancing the delicate equilibrium. The time it takes to give both financial and emotional support, without relying on their mothers!! Maybe then poverty maybe seen as an urgent matter if it becomes a male problem……………..
I am not a man hater or a lesbian, just a realist!
Natalie, from your comment you seem to be implying that you yourself are a solo parent. Is this true ? If so, you didn't mention recieving child support from your partner. Also you say nobody here has any idea what it is like to be a solo parent. How did you come to that conclusion ? The MAIN theme of this thread In my opinion is to highlight the increase of Fatherless, and to a lesser degree Motherless children, and this is being fuelled by the fact that it is finiancially easier for a single Mother to be on the DPB than to be living with the childrens Father. The effects of not having a Father in the lives of children growing up is always made the lowest priority, and hardly ever considered. I'm sure most children would rather have a Dad than that extra toy at Christmas. You say that "It's time for Men to wake up, catch up and evolve too…" WTF ? The Family is being evolved by the Government…, not the other way around !

im the child of a solo parent, my mother has raised me on the DPB. in my case my mother had to get out of the relationship as my father was a druggie and abused her. she was 22 when i was born and 23 when my brother was born. im proud of my mum for getting out of a relationship that hurt her so much. i dont need my father and some of you fem haters should be thinking of what is best for the child not your ego.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/126911010/government-announces-new-boosts-for-family-tax-credit-and-newborn-payments
To me policy about these things should be based on the birth rate.
Ours below 2.0 children per woman.
Increasing payments, a blunt method of encouraging more pregnancy.
So no issues, with the increases.
The argument is about Working for Families.
" The group said all low-income whānau should be given the full Working For Families package, regardless of whether they received benefits "
So should those who do not work, get the same as those who work.
It is a dead end argument.
Should those who work, get the full benefit as well.
If you get the same, why work.
Soon nobody will work.
The new poverty, not being unavoidable.
But a choice, a lifestyle.
Even the small increases.
Amount to huge sums.
The burden on the remaining workers, already to much.
The solution then, to poverty.
Work, and it's rewards.

Our visit to the inn this past July was the fourth time we have stayed at Friends Lake Inn. We love the place. The accommodations are wonderful, the service is exceptional and the grounds are relaxing and beautiful. The restaurant is fabulous, and Tammy & John Breymaier and their staff do everything to make you feel at home and welcome. It is our favorite place to get away from the world!
The great room is such a cozy room with all the amenitys I hope to find at upscale inn. My wife and I have come back over the years and it is still our favorite place to spend a weekend to just get away and relax. The dining is superb and the menu is allways changing for the seasons. Wonderful place to visit in the Adirondacks, the prices are a little high but worth every penny.
Enjoyable beautiful weekend from start to finish. Greeted with a smile and taken to our room where details of the inn were given to us. Looked out the door to a beautiful backyard with pond, flowers, woods, pool and sauna, plus had our own private porch. Fresh cookies were waiting for us in the room. Walked to the lake across the street and one day followed a trail through the woods. Quiet setting and friendly staff. The wine room was well stocked with a variety of different wines. Bistro was a great place to enjoy a drink or a fantastic meal. Dinner menu was amazing and the food was wonderful. Breakfast was served in a pleasant room with views of the lake. Kudos to the chef! We had been to the Inn approximately 25 years ago so it was nice to see how it has changed and the continuing changes that are still being made. New owners are doing great job with the Inn!
Beautiful location, wonderful staff, an excellent kitchen, very nice facilities, pleasing accommodations and amenities. We really enjoyed the hiking trail, kayaking on lovely Friends Lake and our screened porch/balcony. Having an in-room massages by an excellent massage therapist was an especially pleasant start to our stay.
We've stayed at FLI twice, and both visits were outstanding. A beautiful, historic building, close to hiking, the lake, and many other activities the ADKs have to offer. The staff, food, and wine selection are fantastic.
A very nice place in a quiet setting. Dinner was very good as was the breakfast. My only complaint was the bed was well past its prime and very uncomfortable and the kitchen staff made quite a racket until they left around 12 PM.
A little inn with great potential.
Our stay was amazing despite small things that I noticed since the sale of the inn. We always love Friend's Lake Inn and look forward to our stay. The food was amazing. The staff are very well trained and professional. The ambience of the inn is so beautiful. I did notice a few things that bothered me a bit in the room. It definitely was not up to the previous owner's standards as far as cleanliness. I notice the glasses that were put in the bathroom had dried water stains in the bottom. Almost like they were hand washed in the bathroom sink. I put on the beautiful robe after showering only to find a used tissue in the pocket. I could tell the robe was never washed as the tissue would have been more tattered. This was like someone put it into a waste basket. I was completely disgusted. We stayed in our favorite room and the bedding was updated which was nice. The bed is horrific though! The mattress is too small for the frame and it is so loud whenever you move in the bed. Overall the service was impeccable. However, it seems as though their could have been more wait staff, especially at breakfast. There was another party and the full inn for breakfast and only Two girls. As always, we had an amazing time at dinner with Joyce! So glad that we were able to see her again! Hopefully, a lot of the negatives that we experienced are just some bumps in the road with the transition of ownership.
The customer service was unlike anything I have ever experienced, and the faux filet and chicken soup were outstanding. The rooms themselves are quaint and clean. The only downsides were the view from our room (gave on main street), and the price of the stay. The hiking behind the inn was average, but if you ask the staff will point you to some lovely trails in the Adirondacks. Would definitely go again.
This rating system is seriously flawed. I had very high expectations, based on everything I had read and heard about the FLI. So when I say that things met my expectations, that is a high compliment, not a mediocre review.
Our room was lovely, but the dinner food and service was amazing. I can understand why people may only go for dinner (that way, they can take their leftovers home with them!). The Friends Lake Inn staff make any special occasion extra special.

By the way, not only our expert online services can make student life better. Many lifehacks help students study more productively, solve small everyday problems, and just have fun. We want to present you several lifehacks that will definitely come in handy in your student life.
Studying should not be difficult. There exist simple methods that can facilitate this process greatly. However, not all these methods are the same effect for every person but, with the trial and error method, you will manage to find those ones that will work for you. You will follow them because your life depends on them to some extent. At least your good grades definitely depend on them. The tips presented further facilitate the students' life greatly, help them increase their productivity, focusing, concentration, and also help avoid postponing.
The action of chewing is the stimulation of the brain, in fact. Since there are no serious side effects (such as caffeine has, for instance), this is a great help in the process of education. The only drawback is that chewing gum does not work long. So keep this lifehack for the most important moments of studying or when you are too tired. We are always ready to help with academic papers when you are exhausted or do not have either time or desire: http://penessays.com/blog/the-best-online-essay-editor-your-personal-assistant.
Sometimes you are the worst enemy of you. Block yourself from getting distracted by social networks, unnecessary websites, e-mail, etc. It becomes possible thanks to such programs as SelfControl or Cold Turkey, for example. There are many other options, and you can easily search for them and download to your device (computer, tablet or smartphone).
You probably know that there is a huge number of applications for students. Choose one or two that meet your needs and demands in studying and use them. If you think that the ones you selected do not work for you, choose others. Their number and variety amaze.
Yes, eat because many students forget about this when they prepare for the exams or do an important assignment. If an assignment is really important, it is better to ask experts for assistance. On our site, you will pay less for papers writing services. Eat healthy, nutritious and, of course, delicious food. This is what your brain needs to function. Help your brain, and it will help you.
Google your subject: this search engine has a tremendous amount of data, including information provided by the most competent resources such as universities and colleges. You can get access to the exams at different higher educational establishments with the questions related to your subject. Thus, you can practice and deepen your knowledge. YouTube can be useful as well, especially when you do not understand some topic and you need an additional explanation. Many people perceive information better when they listen and watch at the same time. Also, many channels offer free books, for instance, CrashCourse, Khan Academy, Brightstorm, Bozeman Science and many others. There will be no problem to find them.
Let's recall old school: take your notes by hand. Research shows that when you spend the time to write your notes, you study more effectively compared with the cases when you use a computer, laptop, tablet or another device.
Correctly chosen type of music during studying can increase your productivity, motivation, and the level of focusing. Some genres of music are really recommended for studying. They are known as "music for brain power."
Once again, this is a human need that must be satisfied. Our body needs to sleep to think correctly. Sleep influences your cognitive function. Consequently, it influences the ability to think logically. The conclusion is obvious: sleep well and enough.
Change your studying conditions literary. Research demonstrates that studying in one and the same room influences the result negatively. It means that if you are in the same environment all the time, it will be the best option to pass an exam in exactly the same environment. However, if you change the locations when you prepare for an exam, it will be easier to adapt to a new environment where you will pass your exam.
Tell the material that you need to learn to your fellow student or your friend. Teaching another person is an effective way to understand the material better. Teaching is the best test (before an actual test) to find out whether you know all the terms and data required. Moreover, ask a person to ask you some questions to figure out whether you really navigate the subject and understand it well.
Light helps human brain focus, influences the visual quality and psychological reactions. The best type of light for the maximal productivity is mild and natural. If your lighting is too foggy or too bright (for instance, fluorescent lighting), it can interfere with the process of learning.
The most important lifehack is to rest, spend time in the open air, go in for sports, and enjoy your life! In order to have the chance to do all this, we recommend you our student essays services, which guarantee that all your assignments will be done perfectly and on time.
A student dormitory is a kind of survival school that many students have to pass. The lifehacks presented further will help students pass these severe tests with dignity, facilitate their life, and feel good, living in a dormitory.
Almost everyone has his (her) favorite mug, and you are probably not an exception. Naturally, you do not want someone else to use it. You can literary hang a lock on your mug so that nobody could take it. Or there is another option. Look for the "lock mug" on the internet. We believe it is a pretty curious and creative way to solve this problem.
If your clothes are wrinkled and you have nothing to iron it (it happens sometimes), take a pan with hot water and use it like an iron. Surprisingly, it works very well, successfully copes with the ironing function, and your clothes look neat and tidy.
If you need to heat water, you will need 2 razor blades and a cable with a plug. Tie each of the wires to the blades. After that, connect each blade with matches and a self-made heater is done. We do not give prices instructions because it is not recommended to do and use it without special knowledge and compliance with safety regulations. Electricity is always dangerous. So it would be better to appeal to the specialists in this field. In general, it is always better to appeal to the specialists to get the expected result. When our specialists work, the result is even better than expected, and that is why we are the top essay writing service on the web.
Let's say you have just washed your socks and you need to dry them up quickly. Take a hair dryer, put a sock on it, and in 2-3 minutes your socks will be dry and ready to be used.
Do you want to watch a movie on a big screen but you do not have a TV? Take a shoe box, glass loupe, and your smartphone. Make the marks on the box, cut a hole, and fix the magnifier in it. Cut another hole, in which you will fix your smartphone, and cut off one of the box walls. Having put everything in the box body, you can regulate the distance between the loupe and smartphone. Now you just need to play a video, put your smartphone on its place, and turn off the light. Moving your smartphone, you can focus the image and transfer it to the wall. Thus, you get a kind of small cinema in your room. You will need time to watch your favorite movies without worrying about your home assignments. Let us take care of them: http://penessays.com/blog/no-time-to-explain-do-my-essay-quickly.
When you have nothing to cook your food on, you will need an iron and food foil. Turn the iron upside down, put foil on it, press down the edges, and shape such a plate that you need. Having turned on the iron, you get a pan, on which you can fry sausages, eggs, or something else. Also, having wrapped a sandwich in foil and put the iron on it, you can heat it up and make it much tastier.
Also, if you do not like to wash up, take food wrap, put it on a plate, and eat. When you finish, just take off a used wrap, and a plat will be clean again.
Usually, there is no much space in a room, so students have to keep their laptop on the knees, in most cases. For a laptop, it is harder to cool down in such conditions, and it can overheat. There is a good and low-cost solution: take an egg tray and place it under your laptop. This will allow air to freely get into the computer case and cool down its elements.
You have garbage bags but do not have a trash bin. Put an ordinary chair upside down and put a garbage bag on it. Using your mother wit, you can always find a way out.
You have a jar of pickles, let's say, but you lack the strength to open it. You will need a piece of scotch tape, which you need to stick to the jar cap in two layers. Having made some efforts, you will manage to open that stubborn jar.
These simple tips can facilitate your everyday student life greatly. For more benefit, we recommend you to use the support and assistance of academic paper writers. Their professional help guarantees that all your papers will be done perfectly and delivered on time. Our site offers not only the lowest prices but also there is the system of discounts, bonuses, and freebies to encourage our customers to order our services. Cooperation with us is a pure benefit.

Snowbirds grounded following accident in Fort St. John
By My Powell River Now Staff

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds' wings are clipped after an accident last week in Fort St. John.
The accident involving a 431 Squadron CT-114 tutor aircraft on Aug. 2 prompted the commander of 1 Canadian Air Division to put an operational pause on the fleet.
The Department of National Defence says the aircraft had an emergency during takeoff. They say the pilot was able to land but the plane was damaged.
The pilot was uninjured and an investigation into the accident is being done by the air force's directorate of flight safety.
Maj.-Gen. Iain Huddleston ordered the pause after talking with the directorate of flight safety investigators and with experts from the Technical Airworthiness Authority.
"Given that the cause of this accident remains to be determined by the Airworthiness Investigative Authority, I have ordered an operational pause on the CT-114 Tutor fleet as we continue the investigation and commence a thorough operational airworthiness risk assessment process," said Huddleston.
"We will return the fleet to flying operations when it is safe to do so, and in accordance with our rigorous airworthiness program."
The fleet will not fly until an operational airworthiness risk assessment can be completed, according to National Defence.
As a result of the accident involving a 431 (Air Demonstration) Squadron CT-114 Tutor aircraft on August 2, 2022 in Fort St. John, B.C. the Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division has ordered an operational pause on the CT-114 fleet. pic.twitter.com/yTAEeiCYkU

The these activities require the marking of the enough time. For better management associated all the activities time tracking software is in most cases taken into consideration.
Before the existence related with time tracking software, valuable time related data/information used to be managed by i would say the manual process. The safety and security guard near the gate of the organization exploited to maintain the a period of time of arrival and departure of the employee on a notebook register. Owing to the manual entry process there was a major great deal of scam. Along with that you see, the clock timings used on the way to differ which used on give rise to controversies.
Moreover the major big problem dealing due to the cardstock register was, if an absolute particular paper used within order to get misplaced, then the exact whole track record of a new respective employee used to get tampered.
Automation is complete with been showed in these real universe. Electronic electronics has encircled every small thing that is necessary by these human being. The help process is without question also melting day and also by day. Current people tend to be taking on to use distinct software and simply applications during different elements. For brands the time related so as to an staff members in the corporate sector, time complex software is really being tried.
It aid in distinct ways as this comes next a very easy clock moments which typically is same to receive everyone. So that minimizes the discrepancies.

The data that are collected using the software are stored in an electronic file in typically the computer. As a consequence that it can always be retrieved located on any the moment when applicable. If this simple clock is required that in many cases can be applied by several the candidates for the company's arrival and departure and also when you need to keep song of the overtime issues then time frame tracking platform will make the utmost solution.
In an organization, some of the various departments like the HR or the Pay team along with the services of this software maintain the second sheet and that helps the whole bunch to yield the compensation for an employee unbelievably easily even as it brings down many difficulties. Generation within income words and the specific tax formula becomes faster due up to the introduction of time tracking request. Since every single is carried out automatically therefore, chances on getting erroneous also becomes very substantially.

File Photo: Kurdish forces in Syria.
"Pompeo equating the YPG terror organisation with Kurds, (even) if it is not intentional, shows a worrying lack of knowledge," Turkish foreign ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said.
Ankara views the US-backed Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) militia as a "terrorist offshoot" of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The PKK, blacklisted as a terror organisation by Ankara and its Western allies, has waged an insurgency against the Turkish state since 1984.
Despite US President Donald Trump's order to pull out 2,000 troops, "the importance of ensuring that the Turks don't slaughter the Kurds" was "still part of the American mission set", Pompeo told Newsmax, a US news and opinion site, on Thursday.
Washington has provided military support to the YPG in the fight against the Islamic State extremist group, causing strains between the NATO allies.
"We strongly condemn that this terror organisation is seen as a partner in the fight against IS," Aksoy said in a statement.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to launch a cross-border operation against the YPG in northern Syria, vowing that Ankara would never allow a "terror corridor" on its southern border and would rid Syria of the militia.
Prior to his decision on December 19, Trump spoke with Erdogan.
Turkish officials say Erdogan convinced his American counterpart that Ankara could take care of the remaining IS elements in Syria during a phone conversation on December 14.
Turkey has often insisted that it does not discriminate against Kurds as a minority but opposes the YPG militia, which Ankara says poses a threat to national security.

On Nov. 1, 2012, the Russian Government's Resolution No. 1101 dated Oct. 26, 2012 came into force. It approved the rules for creating, compiling and maintaining the unified automated information system that contains details of domain names, website page indexes and network addresses allowing sites to be identified in the Internet that contain information which it is prohibited to distribute in Russia (The full title is the "Unified register of domain names, website page indexes in the Internet information and telecoms network, and network addresses allowing sites to be identified in the Internet information and telecoms network, that contain information forbidden to be distributed in Russia").
The resolution was adopted in pursuance of article 15.1 of Federal Law No. 149-FZ dated July 27, 2006 On information, information technologies and the protection of information (the Information Law ). This provision came into being because legislation was reformed in the area of protecting children from information that damages their health and development.
Both the amendments to legislation and the resolution were the subject of heated debate among those who were to be regulated by them. Among those affected (along with particular state authorities) are the owners of websites, website hosting services who ensure that sites are available via the Internet, and telecoms operators providing Internet access to their users.
All those affected have, in one way or another, agreed that it is necessary to fight against unlawful content. Nonetheless, there are big question marks over whether the methods currently enshrined in legislation are actually effective.
We will attempt to assess whether the Unified Register (the so-called blacklist of sites) solves the problem of unlawful content being distributed.
The Unified Register's website at http://zapret-info.gov.ru/ contains a search system that allows a check to be made of whether an IP address or domain name is in the Register. On the same page, a message can be left about a resource containing forbidden information, and this will be checked out by the regulator Roscomnadzor before the resource is added to the Register. Users have been able to access this webpage since 1 November 2012, i.e. as soon as the amendments to legislation came into effect.
a decision of a duly authorized body that information should be deemed prohibited (the Federal Narcotics Control Service for information relating to the circulation of narcotic substances; Rospotrebnadzor for information about ways to commit suicide as well as encouragement to commit suicide; and Roscomnadzor for information that may be classed as prohibited under the law).
A duly authorized body must take such a decision within 24 hours of the time when a communication directly reaches it, or when a request from Roscomnadzor (or the operator of the Register) reaches it. A 24-hour time limit from when a communication or contact is received also applies for Roscomnadzor to send a request to the duly authorized body.
The maximum timeframe for an entry to be made in the Register when it is confirmed that information is prohibited is 3 days from when contact is received from any person or body.
At the same time as information is included in the Register, the identity is determined of the website hosting service that allowed the site in question to be placed on the Internet, and a notice is sent to that party. It is important to be aware that the site owner must be notified not by Roscomnadzor but by the website hosting service. The site owner and/or the hosting service will be given 3 days to delete the prohibited information and/or restrict access to the site with unlawful content.
In addition, obligations are imposed on telecoms operators to monitor updates to the Register (such updates are made every day between 9.00 and 21.00), and to restrict access to sites included in the Register within 24 hours of the relevant update. It is noteworthy that neither site owners nor hosting services have such a monitoring obligation.
Telecoms operators have an automatic obligation to block access to a site if the owner and hosting service have not taken the appropriate steps and a network address that allows the site with prohibited information to be identified has been included in the Register.
This means that telecoms operators are the ultimate links in the chain of persons who are obliged to fight against unlawful content.
Interestingly, neither article 15.1 of the Law on Information nor the Resolution contains a reference to the method of blocking access to unlawful content. Therefore, as things stand, operators can only proceed on the basis of what technology makes possible for them. Not all Russian telecoms operators by a long way currently have the ability to use Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), i.e. technology for gathering statistical data that checks and filters network packets by their content. This technology means that information that does not comply with the criteria can be filtered on a deep level. However, it is rather costly, and in practice operators have the technical ability to block access, albeit to a resource as a whole rather than to defined content within the resource.
When the courts have heard cases relating to disputes between the prosecutor's office and telecoms operators, they have assessed an argument from operators that it is technically possible to restrict access to specific pages of a site on DNS-servers only if access to the whole site is restricted, which contravenes current legislation, the constitutional freedom to distribute information and contravenes the rights of a broad spectrum of the telecoms operator's users of telematics services (Appeal Ruling of the Samara Region Court dated 4 October 2012 in case No. 33-9233/2012.). As a rule, the courts do not accept this argument: they believe that the telecoms operators must take steps to restrict access to the above websites by virtue of the law (for example, the Federal Law On protecting children from information that causes harm to their health and development).
Courts follow different approaches when they hear disputes regarding the method for restricting access when telecoms operators have the obligation to restrict access to an internet resource: in some cases, it is stated that the method by which the obligation is performed has no relevance in terms of resolving the dispute (Appeal Ruling of the Tyumen Region Court dated 5 September 2012 in case No. 33-3971/2012.), while in other cases an operator is obliged to restrict access to specific websites by adding rules for filtering IP addresses at the border router (Appeal Ruling of the Moscow City Court dated 10 July 2012 in case No. 11-10809.).
Whether there will be further developments on the issue of blocking access to prohibited information, only time will tell. Without a doubt, not all players on the market welcome the idea of blocking access to the resource as a whole rather than to particular content.
In conclusion, we should note that the Law on Information and the Resolution have set a procedure for excluding from the Register a domain name, a website page index and a network address that allows a site to be identified on the Internet. An obligation is imposed on Roscomnadzor (or on the operator of the Register) to exclude the relevant entry from the Register: (a) within three days of being contacted by a website owner, a hosting service or telecoms provider after measures have been taken to delete information distribution of which is prohibited in Russia; or (b) within three days of a court ruling coming into legal force that sets aside a previous decision of Roscomnadzor regarding an entry in the Register.
Despite there being insufficient regulation of the aspects described above and the potential for disputes to arise, there is no doubt that the creation of the register is a useful step in the fight against prohibited information.

The Most Powerful Way to Extend Influence and Expand Potential
I owe most of the relationships I enjoy to the persistence of others. I tend to look at new people like cows look at new gates, skeptically.
Connection assumes generous intention.
Healthy relationship assumes you want the best for me, you, and us.
Good intention includes:
#1. Mutual advantage and disadvantage. You suffer-with and you enjoy-with.
#2. Willingness to fall on a grenade to advantage others. This doesn't refer to wealthy higher-ups demanding lower-downs to suffer while they enjoy perks. But self-sacrifice – freely given – may be part of connection.
#3. Enjoyment of personal satisfaction and mutual advantage. Serving flows both ways when competent individuals share generous intention.
Connection extends influence and expands potential:
A few weeks ago, an online friend pointed out my poor use of language around emotion. We've had several interactions over the years. He seemed unexpectedly passionate. We scheduled a conversation.
Veiled generosity offends.
I receive emails from people claiming they want to 'help' me. Occasionally, I ask for specifics. How does this help me, exactly? The truth is they want me to help them. I'd be more inclined to help if they were less deceptive.
My friend's email wasn't offensive. I'm convinced he has generous intention.
Connection opens channels of influence.
Generous intention lowers resistance.
Results flow through relationships.
I met with my online friend. We talked about feelings.
I had written something about people 'making' you feel strong. He wanted me to know that we are responsible for our feelings, not others.
Generous intention extends influence and expands potential.
How might you express generous intention to someone on your team today?

Generous intention extends influence and expands potential – This reminded me of my boss and how he operates generously and the kind of influence he has.
What to do when one's generous intentions are not considered because of other persons insecurities?
Dan Rockwell on April 1, 2021 at 9:18 am said:
Thanks Khawaja. It's great to have a generously intentioned boss.
When people don't respond positively to generosity, perhaps it's time to find other avenues of generosity? Or, continue being generous knowing that responses might be disappointing. I don't believe choosing to not be generous is an option.
Paul Auclair on April 1, 2021 at 8:15 am said:
Dan, I like your remark that "Generous intention extends Influence and expands potential." Generous intention in a leader could include valuable introductions to key members of your network; creating opportunities to develop and shine; public praise and private correction; and taking responsibility for less-than-stellar outcomes as opposed to "throwing the team under the bus." One great boss I had described his role as a "filter" rather than an "amplifier." He created an environment for us to thrive in and minimized distractions by dealing with matters we should not have been concerned about. I'm so thankful for leaders like that!
Thanks Paul. I truly appreciate your practical insights. It's helpful when someone explains practical application.
Jim Hodgson on April 1, 2021 at 8:28 am said:
This post's remarks about mutual benefit and "willingness to fall on a grenade" reminded me of the surprising number of leaders I worked with who didn't realize that loyalty must extend both ways. Team members are unlikely to "fall on their sword" for a boss who would throw them under the bus in a heartbeat. That's the recipe for building an organization where "CYA" becomes the paramount activity.
Generous intentions must be clearly communicated, and then verified through observed behavior and frequent analysis of feedback. Assumptions are always hazardous.
Thanks Jim. "Team members are unlikely to fall on their sword for a boss who would throw them under the bus." Wow! Such a powerful statement.
A CYA organization won't go as far as an organization where people take care of each other.
Tim Glass on April 1, 2021 at 8:51 am said:
How might you express generous intention to someone on your team today? If you have their backs overtime they have your back. As Jim mentions "willingness to fall on a grenade" speaks volumes of loyalty beyond a shadow of a doubt. When individuals have their doubts about Leaders we tend to slide the slippery slope of core values and integrity. Soon they will turn their backs on you, close their ears, and leave you to rot in your pool of falsehoods..
Wow…powerful expressions keep on rolling in. "pool of falsehoods!" Dang that's evocative.
cate on April 1, 2021 at 9:25 am said:
Hi Dan and all,
I keep thinking about your friend. What power to be invulnerable to the effect of others' words. People make me feel things all the time. That's why, caring about people, to be extra careful to choose the right words at the right time to the right person. Imagine hearing this in response to a lovingly crafted letter: " I chose to be pleased by your letter which I deem delightful" vs. " your note made me smile ". We need a little backbone and can't be flopping miserably all over the floor at every sideways word, but personally I leave a spare key to my heart under the mat where people can find it Cheers !
Robert Merrill on April 2, 2021 at 9:45 am said:
As the circle of connection and generous influence expands, it will eventually encounter someone who does not have generous intention, yet is still part of the equation, whether we like it or not. What happens then, I believe, makes all the difference, and is the most underappreciated form of leadership.
AdamTulane on April 4, 2021 at 11:17 am said:
In a big view kind of way, your friend is correct, we only feel the way we want to feel and someone else's actions or views should not have an affect on how we feel. This, however is not how we as humans think. Everyone has opinions and some are more easily affected by others opinions of the world and themselves. I suppose this follows your mention of veiled generosity offends in that people want to feel that someone cares for them on an emotional level and not just showing a face to get you to trust them and break that trust by making the connection all about that other person so they can feel better about their life.

Q: How can I pass a password from a bash script to aptitude for installing mysql? I am writing a simple bash script to install MySQL on Ubuntu.
#!/bin/bash
apt-get update

# Install MySQL5
aptitude -y install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev

However MySQL prompts for a password and confirmation. How do I pass along a root password. Is there an echo I can use?

A: This is an excerpt from my setup script for new servers. You should be able to copy it word-for-word except for the password.
You'll need to run this using sudo if you're not already root.
#!/bin/bash
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt-get -q -y install mysql-server
echo "Give mysql server time to start up before we try to set a password..."
sleep 5
mysql -uroot -e <<EOSQL "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('yourpasswordhere') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
EOSQL
echo "Done setting mysql password."

Other answers have used the -y which makes apt-get always answer yes to questions. The -q hides some progress indicators so you can send the output to a log. You could also use -qq, which automatically gives you a -y. This is in the man page for apt-get.
The <<EOSQL is a bash heredoc syntax for readability.
I got the heredoc part of this solution from this guy: http://padwasabimasala.posterous.com/non-interactive-scripted-mysql-install-on-ubu
The thing to remember with the heredoc is that whitespace before the closing string breaks it. So don't indent that line. Here is a page about the heredoc syntax: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/here-docs.html

A: The easiest way to do this is to use the DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment variable and the aptitude -q and -y flags:
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive aptitude install -q -y mysql-server

Or more generically, assuming sudo password has been catered for some-how:
#!/bin/bash
INSTALLER_LOG=/var/log/my-installer.log

installnoninteractive(){
  sudo bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive aptitude install -q -y $* >> $INSTALLER_LOG"
}

installnoninteractive mysql-server

A: This script was successful when launched as superuser:
#!/bin/bash

export temp_mysql_password="**********"
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

debconf-set-selections <<< "mysql-server mysql-server/root_password password $temp_mysql_password"
debconf-set-selections <<< "mysql-server mysql-server/root_password_again password $temp_mysql_password"
debconf-set-selections <<< "mysql-server-5.6 mysql-server/root_password password $temp_mysql_password"
debconf-set-selections <<< "mysql-server-5.6 mysql-server/root_password_again password $temp_mysql_password"

apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y install mysql-server

A: look into using expect
It can be used to automate most interactive sessions, although I wouldn't use a root password

A: This is so much easier ..
install mysql on ubuntu without password prompt
sudo debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server/root_password password your_password'
sudo debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server/root_password_again password your_password'
sudo apt-get -y install mysql-server

If your shell doesn't support here-strings (zsh, ksh93 and bash support them), use:
echo ... | sudo debconf-set-selections

A: Thank you for the tip on expect. I couldn't find anything by searching Ubuntu admin forums so I went with expect. As you can see by the timestamp of this post, it took me 3 hours to get it working. Here is the code, I hope it can help someone:
#!/bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install expect

VAR=$(expect -c '
spawn apt-get -y install mysql-server
expect "New password for the MySQL \"root\" user:"
send "PasswordHere\r"
expect "Repeat password for the MySQL \"root\" user:"
send "PasswordHere\r"
expect eof
')

echo "$VAR"

apt-get -y install mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev

#For some reason important to restart - otherwise possible errors

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
/etc/init.d/mysql start

A: Expect is probably overkill.  Look on one of the Debian or Ubuntu admin forums -- things like FAI et al have long used preseeding for debconf questions.  You should be able to use that here too.
Lastly, you could probably also use apt-get itself or other frontends.
