Sound familiar? I've been there too. You've been dealt a card that you didn't want and definitely didn't ask for, and you feel like it can't get any worse. The weight seems unbearable. You may cry and scream. You may even feel broken. But you aren't.

The Weird and Wonderful Notifications of 1SE
The one-second video app is a nostalgic, life-affirming dash of digital ephemera
By Molly McHugh Jan 23, 2017, 10:51am EST
Share All sharing options for: The Weird and Wonderful Notifications of 1SE
(Getty Images/text via 1SE/Ringer illustration)
My phone buzzes. Is it a text? A Twitter notification? A Facebook message? No. Instead, the following appears on my screen:
"Remember you are just an extra in everyone else's play."
Aggressive, but so go the messages from 1 Second Everyday, or 1SE, an app that's obsessed with time and consuming it in the form of daily one-second videos. I first started using it about a year ago, when I saw a friend post a video made out of the one-second snippets that 1SE captures daily. The result was more real and less static than scrolling through a year's worth of Instagram or Facebook posts, and many times less performative. The video tugged hard at my nostalgic tendencies. I downloaded the app and, on and off for the past year, I've recorded my own daily seconds.
As these things tend to go, though, I was inconsistent. Weeks and sometimes months would pass, and I would slot random videos out of chronological order into my creation. So I did what few are brave enough to ever do: I turned on an app's push alerts. I even specified that 1SE could notify me multiple times a day.
In came a flood of existential, mildly guilt-ridden messages. At first I hated them — harping on me about time and life and how I should be making the most of them. It's especially disheartening to get a prompt reminding you that life is fleeting when you're sitting in traffic. I get it: The mundane tediousness of the everyday is consuming me and I will never fully realize the potential of my life — thanks for the note! But then at some point, 1SE's notifications felt different. I began to love them, in the way one might begrudgingly love a sophomore philosophy major who just got back from Burning Man and quotes Nietzsche too often. I had to know: Who was crafting these small, odd, strangely philosophical messages?
When I contacted 1SE's founder, Cesar Kuriyama, he directed me to writer, designer, and composer Bruce Seaton. "He's a man of many skills, and frankly we probably don't use his writing skills enough," Kuriyama said to me via email when I asked for an intro.
When I told Seaton about Kuriyama's kind words, he laughed. "I went to Pratt with Cesar and the rest of the 1SE team," he told me, explaining that most of the app's small team overlapped at the Brooklyn art school.
"Originally, I wrote a small group of push notifications when the app first came out," Seaton said. "We wanted something more interesting than just 'Hey, take your second now.'" Seaton researched time and seconds, looking for interesting quotes — and then performing due diligence to properly source them. "You get totally lost in Wikipedia — 'What is the origin of the second' and then you end up on 'Oh hey, so this is the type of clock that does this weird thing,'" Seaton said.
While Seaton handles many of the granular tasks behind creating the notifications, Kuriyama's guidance is influential. "Cesar will shotgun a bunch of ideas out and I go look for things that are interesting and short," he said. "Cesar is very purposeful about everything he does. If he can find a way to make the little bits make sense, he will."
In a 2012 TED Talk, Kuriyama discussed his personal project to capture a second of his life every day. "It's kind of a personal protest against the culture we have now where people are at concerts with their cell phones out the whole concert and they're disturbing you," he said at the time. "They're not even enjoying the show. They're watching the concert through their cell phone. I hate that."
He told a story about how, when his sister-in-law was ill, he spent consecutive days in a hospital with his family — and about how when things are bad, it's difficult to take that one-second video. "We tend to take our cameras out when we're doing awesome things," he said. "I found that it's actually been very, very important to record even just that one second of a really bad moment."
Kuriyama talked how he eschewes filters for more realistic videos, and said that after trying a few from the selfie perspective, he decided the first-person view was more accurate to his vision. 1SE is a departure from other "memory collecting" apps like Instagram and Facebook, which focus on highlights and favorable lighting. The messaging is a little different, too.
Seaton isn't only responsible for the philosophical copy in the notifications; he also composed their sound. "Cesar was like, 'Hey, can I have a one-second sound for the reminder?' and that was all the instruction he gave me," said Seaton. "So I made 20 and said, 'Here, you pick one,' and he didn't like any of them."
The sound proved harder to create than composing the notifications. "How do you make a sound that's only a second long, and make it warm and inviting? It's really strange, the stuff I compose on my own tends to be like eight to nine minutes long — but with this, you don't have as much time to set up a mood."
Except, apparently, you do — 1SE's chimes have become as pleasing to me as its life-affirming messages. And there's good reason: Just as the app preys on our nostalgia, so does its notification sound. "We wanted it to be like when you find a key in the original Zelda," said Seaton. "And that's sort of a generational thing — it's an 8-bit, primitive, digital sound, but it's so satisfying. You're like, 'Yes, that's something cool.'"

From Rags to Riches
E. (Efthemios) "Mike" Demopoulos
Athens Business Owner Exhibits First Generation Making a Living Western Washington
Home Greece Athens From Rags to Riches
He was known as the Junk King of Anacortes when he began collecting discarded items in 1908 but E. (Efthemios) "Mike" Demopoulos became a major landowner and businessman in the town.
His children Themo and Billie share their stories about Mike and growing up in Anacortes, Washington.
Mike was born in 1889 in the town of Brallos north of Athens, Greece, and came to the United States in 1906 with a friend. His friend returned to Greece but Mike headed west, working in Canada, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. He worked in restaurants, then began installing gas and water lines in Tacoma. While he could have become a foreman, Mike preferred working on his own and left to labor in logging camps. When he came to Anacortes in 1908, Mike noticed a lot of discarded materials left over from construction projects. He had a wheelbarrow and began picking up whatever metals he could find, including an old logging chain at the waterfront. Since the items were free, a profit was guaranteed. From there he obtained a horse-drawn spring wagon and expanded his junk collecting. He abandoned the wagon and obtained a big Mack truck which could be seen piled high with rags, newspapers or other discarded items. In 1910 Mike bought property near the Anacortes waterfront and started the Anacortes Junk Company. It evolved into a hardware store, now the Marine Supply and Hardware Company which has operated continuously since 1913. It is now owned by his son Themo and grandson Steve who purchased the store from Mike's estate in 1981. With little formal education, Mike became an important mentor and successful businessman and property owner in the town.
Mike occasionally visited Seattle and on one visit he met Ellen (Eleni) Fenerly. Her family came from the predominately Greek Phanar quarter of Constantinople, hence the evolution of the Greek word ophaneris (the person from Phanar) to Fenerly. Eleni lived with her sisters in Seattle, worked in a paper box company and attended St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church.
Eleni and Mike were married in Seattle on May 24, 1921, with George Marinakos as their koumbaro (best man). An article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, copied in the Anacortes American describes the event with a bit of stereotypical humor. Their daughter Vasiliki (Billie) later commented on the inaccuracies of the article.
Three children, Billie (Vasiliki) (February 25, 1922), Chris (Christos) (September 22, 1924) and Themo Paul (June 30, 1926) were born to the couple in Anacortes. Billie describes her mother as a "sweetheart." Eleni was an excellent cook and visitors to the Demopoulos home were met with the aroma of Greek food and pastries. One fall day Billie and her best friend Margaret Moyer heard that the fishermen were giving away their catches. The two eight-year-olds were given a huge king salmon. Margaret struggled with one end and Billie with the other as they lugged it home where Eleni divided it up so that both families enjoyed fish for several meals.
THEMO
Themo worked in the hardware store after school but found working for his father a real challenge. His most memorable word from his childhood is ochi (no) as his father was quick to give that answer to his children's requests. From 1944 to 1946 Themo served as a radio man in the United States Navy in the Pacific Theater. When he returned to Anacortes, he proposed a corporate structure for the hardware store but Mike preferred a sole ownership. Themo continued to work part-time at Ernst Hardware while earning his accounting degree at the University of Washington. He began working for the State Department of Revenue in 1961 and eventually became supervisor of 19 state auditors serving Port Angeles, Bellingham, Mt. Vernon, Bremerton and Everett. Themo and his late wife Patricia had two children, Steve and Lynn, the latter also deceased. Themo retired after almost 30 years with the state and now enjoys his retirement while sharing in the ownership of the Marine Supply and Hardware Company with his son Steve. Themo lives in Chandler's Square Retirement Community, the name being coincidental considering his father's life as a chandler (a dealer or trader in supplies and provisions). The property was previously owned by the Demopoulos family.
A generation later, Steve has honored his papou (grandfather) by naming his son after Mike. Steve also remembers Greek School at his yiayia (grandmother) Eleni's home and learning a few Greek words but English was his language. Steve is pleased that the Demopoulos name will be carried on.
Chris, the middle child, served in the Army Air Corps during World War II. During his enlistment, he continued his education attending Yale, Harvard, MIT and Reed College majoring in electronic engineering. After his military service, he attended the University of Washington where he majored in accounting and business administration. He traveled the world extensively and then dabbled in the real estate business. Deciding to become a real estate investor he purchased multiple properties in five counties prior to his death in 2004.
BILLIE AND DON
Billie (Vasiliki) remembers speaking only Greek at home in Anacortes, learning English while playing with other children in the neighborhood. When her mother sent her next door to borrow an avgo, Billie used her first English word (egg) so the neighbor would understand. Billie and Themo do not remember being treated differently as Greeks. Billie preferred her full Greek name, Vasiliki, as classmates teased her when a shortened version, Vasilo, was used. After high school Billie attended the University of Washington where she majored in literature and minored in drama.
Billie had known Don Louis McKee from their school days in Anacortes. Don was born on December 19, 1922. After high school he served in the United States Army and obtained special artillery training for the European Theater. They both attended the University of Washington at the same time and were planning their marriage. During that time Billie was attending the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Seattle. Quoting from The Assumption Church in History 1939-1979, "The Church was to be completed in mid-October in time for the first wedding. But shortly before the wedding, Father Phoutrides summoned the bride, Billie Demopoulos, to tell her that regrettably the new Church would not be ready for her wedding. Billie recalls that she said nothing, just looked down, while a single large tear rolled down her cheek. 'Don't worry, Billie,' Father quickly assured her, 'you'll have your wedding in the Church.' The wedding took place on schedule on October 18, 1942, with plain paper covering the unfinished floor and folding chairs for pews." The McKees have pleasant memories of their early married days in Seattle. Their children attended Sunday School and Don sang in the choir. They spent time with the Mihelis, Zarkades, Pulakis and Phoutrides families. Mary Mihelis Martinson, Aspasia Phoutrides Pulakis and Ethel Victor were nounas (godmothers) to their children. The McKees raised four children: Thomas, Gregory, Brian and Elaine (now deceased). They have four grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
After Don completed his military service in the European Theater they returned to Seattle where they lived in what was then the small community of Kirkland. Don completed his architectural studies in 1950 and describes his work as a mixed bag "from outhouses to churches." All the elementary schools in Anacortes benefited from his designs. He also designed the first Greek Orthodox Church in Bellingham, Washington, which was built on a limited budget with steel beams and cedar siding from materials donated by Georgia Colouzis and Sid McIntyre. When the Assumption Church in Seattle outgrew its small brick veneer structure, it seemed only fitting for Don to design the new church as he and Billie were the couple in that first wedding that almost didn't take place. Over time Don designed many homes in Seattle, the last one being sold to a young lawyer and his wife, Bill Gates (senior) and his wife Mary, now deceased.
Billie's and Don's words of wisdom are "Don't grow up." Now, after 69 years of a full and rewarding marriage they have grown up gracefully. Their memories are vivid.
THE DEMOPOULOS LEGACY
Back in Anacortes, Marine Supply and Hardware remains a landmark business today as it has been in the past. These before and after photos show the changes after 99 years of operation. Visit its web site at www.marinesupplyandhardware.com
Just as Mike Demopoulos' hardware store has continued throughout the years so have some Greek traditions. And today, the Demopoulos/McKee grandchildren can say the important Greek words: efharisto (thank you), parakalo (you are welcome or please), kali nichta (good night) and s'agapo (I love you).

Sometimes, you just have to experience it to understand, but when I say living a more simple life can be life-changing, believe me. These frugal living tips come from a place I know well.
Growing up, my family hoarded stuff. My parents were very clean and organized, but there was just so much stuff. The habit melted onto me, and I grew up hoarding things, hanging on to wrapping paper, useless trinkets, clothes, shoes and more. There were reasons for my hoarding, and I used them to fill these voids inside. It's really something difficult to go through, but when I eventually let all the stuff go, I felt like I could breathe again. Let me tell you - the air felt so good.
Essentially, frugal living is embracing a lifestyle in which you minimize the waste of resources. It is using things for their purpose and not having more than you need at any given time.
When you hold on to things for whatever reasons, it can become really difficult to let them go. You need to decide if living frugally, or at least trying to, is something that will add more value to your life. When you live frugal, simple, minimalistic lifestyles, you make room for more of the meaningful experiences in life.
Like with any major life change, you start off small. I do not recommend the "chuck it all and forget about it" method, especially if you have a strong emotional attachment to your things. Decluttering can be a tremendously emotional experience. I understand this, and yes, it will hurt for a little while. However, when that feeling clears, you'll know what I mean about that breath of fresh air.
Decluttering is a huge step, and I've created a little challenge that you should take on if you decide to start living more simply. It's 15 days, and it'll take you through your entire house, one day at a time. Feel free to go as slowly or as quickly as you need to. Only you will know what pace is okay with you.
Journaling is really helpful when taking on a new journey. I like bullet journaling, because I can pick and choose what layouts I want (if I want any). I can also just scribble all over the page if that's what I feel like that day. Whatever you choose, catalogue your journey in a journal, so that you can look back later and see how far you've come.
Take a friend with you. Now, you don't literally have to take them with you everywhere you go, but maybe include one of your best friends on this journey to more simple living. Maybe they're interested in a different lifestyle too. Ask them, and you can do this together. Even if they don't want to do it with you, they can support you in their own way. It's always more fun (and a lot easier) when you know you have that support.
The most important thing you will need is a sense of organization. Simple living is strongly based on good organization, especially when you will only be acquiring things you really need. The journal will be helpful in keeping your thoughts in check, and lists are also really helpful in ensuring that what you need to do gets done.
Shop when fashion items are not in season (winter wear in summer and vice versa).
Use coupons for groceries and household goods.
Get cash back whenever you can. I've received over $300 through Ebates' cash back program*. It's free to use. Yes, they pay you to shop through their program. It's awesome!
Sign up for your favorite shops' mailing lists. They announce sales and special promotions only to their mailing lists throughout the year. So if you fancy Bath and Body Works candles, it's best to shop during their $8 candle sales.
Check out your local dollar shops and clearance aisles. Dollar Tree has some amazing home products for super cheap.
Delicious recipes for meal planning can really save you a ton of money. When you plan your meals, you go to the grocery store with a list of things you know you need. Get in the habit of only buying items that are on your list. That means you can't forget to put something you need on the list! Double check your list before you leave home. Also, make trips to the store limited to save money on gas expenses and wasted time.
There's always a fun time when you put your mind to it. Free events are happening all the time. All you've got to do is check your local listings to see what's going down in your town. Head out and see the sights or stay in and just chill.
You get so caught up in trying to stay busy that you forget to slow down. When you're hustling and working, go hard. On your free time, take it down a few notches and just absorb your life. What's going on around you? Have your kids grown a little taller this year? Do the lines under your eyes look a little more defined (means you're smiling a lot). Are you doing what makes you happy? If not, set aside some time to do that which sets your soul on fire (or brings joy to your heart).
Frugal living lets you focus more on the experiences that you gain from life. You notice them a lot more when you don't have all the clutter - home clutter, mind clutter, tech clutter, etc. Set aside some time during the day when you're free of all of that. Who knows? You might really, really like it.
When you hear about frugal living, simple living or minimalistic lifestyle, you think it's impossible to achieve, because it sounds so different from what you're used to. In reality, it's all in the small changes here and there that make the biggest differences in life.
If you're tired of the clutter, the stress and the mess, try out these frugal living tips. If you do it and don't like it, you can always go back to how it was before. See, it's a habit that you form, and nothing is ever permanent. So why not try it out? At the very least, you'll have a cleaner home and less stress for a little while.
You don't get what you don't ask for, so please Pin this Post about Tips on Frugal Living. Every share helps!


Many laptop brands are rummaging over the computer shops. Buyers must closely relate all products that are necessary for their activities. Laptops have different parts and accessories necessary for each type of consumer. Asus laptop parts have been evolving since they are available in the market.
A laptop is not really much different from a desktop in terms of the components that make them work. The most striking difference is that the laptop has "miniaturized" the desktop's parts and then tightly packed them into a vessel that can easily be carried around. This makes the laptop very convenient for people who are always on the go and have to use the internet at the same time.

Errors and Residuals
'Errors and residuals' is an ongoing series of small artist publications by Sarah Van Marcke, in which she explores the archive of Ignace D.K., a man she never knew in life. Ignace died in 2013, a few months before her parents would move into the house in the woods that was his home. In this house Van Marcke discovered Ignace's universe, perfectly organised, ordered and orchestrated. Everything that was left behind was left for a reason; he made sure that, even after his death, everything would remain as he felt it should be. Van Marcke uses the archive as a means of talking about our urge to exercise control and the strategies we develop to try and protect ourselves from the contingent nature of existence.
In the part titled 'a view', Van Marcke examines the constituent parts of a legacy, an attempt to preserve and maintain a certain order of things even after our death, and the possible failures lurking in the reality of the future.
In the part titled 'a ritual', Van Marcke observes how people sometimes use a form of fiction in an attempt to get a grip on a disrupted reality. A fiction that can be expressed in rituals, images, literature, among other forms.
In the part titled 'a visit', we are invited into a meta-reality, a virtual habitat in which the clock has stopped ticking and where the order we create remains absolute – until the next update.

Stobart Air, a Flybe franchise partner plans to increase capacity on London Southend to compensate the loss of the London City route.
As from 31 Augustus 2018, SHS Aviation B.V., the majority shareholder of the N.V. SHS Antwerp Aviation (VLM), decided at an extraordinary general assembly to dissolve the Belgian airline and to liquidate it.
Unfortunately, the longstanding route Antwerp to London City has been cancelled. To compensate the London City route, Stobart Air, a Flybe franchise partner, will increase flights between Antwerp and London Southend to daily except Saturday.
This will represent an increase of 50% in capacity on the route and shows a great commitment to the route and to all operations from Antwerp Airport. London travellers will be able to book this alternative with Flybe as from 4 September 2018. The additional flights are available on www.flybe.com.
London Southend Airport boasts its own dedicated railway station that is just 100 paces from the airport. The airport is served by up to eight train services an hour offering direct links to Stratford (45 minutes) and London Liverpool Street (51 minutes).
Flybe also offers quick and convenient connections of less than one to a range of destinations via London Southend Airport.
With an average 5 minute check in time and 3 minutes to get through security, London Southend is the Capital's favourite airport and has been voted Which? Best airport for London 5 years in a row.

The Park City area is a rapidly growing residential and recreational area about 30 miles east of Sal t Lake City (fig. 1). The area of study is about 140 square miles in which the principle industries are agriculture, skiing, and other recreational activities. The area once was a major lead- and silver-mining district, but no mines were active in 1984. A resumption in mining activity, however, could take place with an increase in the price of metals.
The population of the Park City area is expected to increase rapidly in the near future; and the provision of an adequate water supply for the growing population, while avoiding harmful affects of development, is a major concern for local municipalities, developers, and the Utah Division of Water Rights. In addition, agricultural interests in and below the area are concerned about the effects of increased ground-water withdrawals on streamflow, which is fully appropriated by downstream users. The area also contains the proposed site for the Jordanelle dam, a part of the Bonneville unit of the central Utah Project. The damsite is near an historic mining area; and mining companies are concerned that if mining is resumed, the reservoir may create some additional dewatering problems in the mines.


Wow!! I can't believe I hadn't heard of this trilogy and now it's a TV series. That's why I chose to read it. The TV trailer intrigued me, and when I started reading I couldn't stop until 800+ pages later. Book 2 here I come.
What we're doing here is perfectly legal–hell, it may be the most important piece of medical research in the history of mankind. But it could be easily misunderstood.
The government's Project NOAH is out of control. They were using a virus on insignificant people, but when those subjects–later called virals–got loose, the government realized their mistake which was too late for the human race.
There's safe and then there's safe. I won't lie to you. There are risks. But we'll do everything we can to minimize them.
A young girl named Amy who was part of the experiment has the power to stop the carnage, and many brave heroes risk their lives to make sure she keeps hers.
A fantastic post-apocalyptic suspense thriller that deals with an immediate viral outbreak and continues many years later. Mr. Cronin is an incredible writer who makes you feel like you are in the thick of the chaos and mayhem of those who have little to no chance of surviving a viral menace. His characters give you hope, apprehension, horror, and belief all at the same time.
It's a book that pushes you to read well past your bedtime while you make sure to lock your doors and windows before you go to sleep. Highly recommend.


NOTE: This story built on that Ian Doyle was the head chef at Stockholm Wine Bar, unfortunately he is not there anymore.
What an impact a new chef can have at a restaurant. Ian Doyle has transformed the menu at Stockholm Wine Bar and made it one of the true gems in Stockholm if you are looking for a better meal and a better selection of wines.
So the story is quite clear and simple, a chef with a background at Michelin starred restaurants such as Noma and Esperanto finds a restaurant with a great location, a great wine selection but a dull and boring traditional menu, where the quality simply wasn't there in the cooking either. Inevitably that combination bounds for a change. And there is the simple story of Stockholm Wine Bar and Ian Doyle.
The restaurant is located next to the Royal Opera in the heart of the city, but it is easy to miss the quite anonymous entrance to the restaurant (apart from in the summertime when the patio is open). But the venue in itself is really nice, an old bank building, and it shows in the partly wooden décor, the high ceiling height and it is encapsulated in a traditional setting with white linen on the tables.
The menu is quite short, and the produce is very much in focus. It is a pretty straightforward menu but influences from the fine dining world are quite clear. This actually is the main selling point for Stockholm Wine Bar, you get some seriously good wines paired with great food that has a touch of fine dining, but everything is just really relaxed, casual and nice. It is a place where you enjoy your meal and you also want to come back again.
The menu is divided into snacks, starters, mains and desserts. To give you a hint of what you might find, items like white asparagus with cured egg or sirloin with Jerusalem artichoke, turnip and oxalis frequent the menu. But overall the best part is that you can go for one course and a glass of wine or go for a full tasting set. All is possible. And that's what I really love about Stockholm Wine Bar, and I hope that Ian Doyle will continue to develop the menu and the concept, then this place will be one of the most talked about places in town.

Durable Coconut Fibre Scrub Pad
Pack Single Pack of 5
Single - £2.20 Pack of 5 - £9.99
Decrease quantity for Durable Coconut Fibre Scrub Pad
Increase quantity for Durable Coconut Fibre Scrub Pad
A natural, reusable product to help with washing up. Great for dishes, surfaces or even as a soap dish. The EcoVibe Scrub Pad is a natural pad made from coconut fibre.
It's 100% compostable, plastic-free and biodegradable. It's made from the coconut hair, bonded with natural latex and reinforced with cotton thread. The coconuts used for this washing up pad are responsibly sourced from independent farmers which are registered with the Coconut Development Board in India.
Coconut fibre is a by-product of coconut production which in most countries is discarded as waste. Using these fibres for our scrub pads helps these coconut farmers earn an additional income.
Where are the coconuts scoured from? The washing up pads are made in Tamil Nadu, India, which is also where the raw materials come from. We try to source from the UK and Europe wherever possible, but as coconuts aren't native to Europe this will always need to be a compromise.

Our shopping habits are changing and much of this is brought around through our need to work longer hours and consequently being left with less time to go shopping. It is certainly true to say that the death of the weekly shop has happened and it is no surprise to discover that consumers like yourself are looking for alternative ways to take the hassle out of making sure there is always plenty of food at home.
Supermarkets have certainly opened the door to online shopping to the point where today the novelty factor has worn off and convenience, plus practicality, make this a very viable alternative to thundering around a packed supermarket which, apart from anything else, does little to improve stress levels. Here at Battens Farm at Nailsea, just west of Bristol, we are aware of this change in your shopping habits and have adapted our business accordingly. Today from the comfort of your home or at the desk in your office you can now order meat online from one of the South West's premier online meat suppliers.
Door to door meat delivery of locally produced Aberdeen Angus beef, pork, lamb or chicken means your larder will never be empty. Ordering our meat boxes online couldn't be simpler and we even provide ready boxed selections to make it even quicker and easier to buy meat online.
Quality to us is critical so we know exactly where our produce comes from and the environment in which it has been raised. We are determined to ensure that when you buy your meat online from battens farm you will never be disappointed. If you haven't tried this before then don't forget that we have the Battens Taster Meat Box which is a great way to discover just how good our meat is.

Q: import mysql blob data using php i am trying to save image data in mysql using blob format
these are inserted and retrieved correctly using php
i have a problem , i need to create a separate sql file for certain data which includes blob data when i try to import the sql file it is not able to import the blob data
include 'database.inc.php';
if (isset($_FILES['sqlfile']) && !empty($_FILES['sqlfile'])) {
$filename=$_FILES['sqlfile']['name'];
$tmp_filename=$_FILES['sqlfile']['tmp_name'];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_filename, $filename);
$file_content=file_get_contents($filename);
$commands = explode(';',trim($file_content));
foreach ($commands as $command) {
    if(mysql_query($command)){
        //header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
    } else {
        //echo 'Failed to import with following command <br/>'.$command;
        echo mysql_error();
    }
}
}

A: You'll have to properly encode the data in the SQL file, like in this answer to "How to insert BLOB and CLOB files in MySQL?".

Q: I cant receive anything other than text files I have tried every solution I could find but nothing seems to work. Anything other than text files becomes corrupted; someone said that TCP can't send more than 8KB, so I tried to fix the problem and I think I did. Now, when I send a text file (no matter what size it is), it reaches perfectly but anything else gets corrupted. I know the code for the cutting is expensive to performance but I am going to think about that later.
Here is my sender code:
private string SendFile(string tosend, string tosendname)
{
    ipadd = IPAddress.Parse(textBox2.Text);
    ep = new IPEndPoint(ipadd, 6112);
    Sender = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);
    Sender.Connect(ep);
    Thread.Sleep(100);
    byte[] filetosend = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(tosend);
    FileStream fs = new FileStream(tosend, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
    //Read byte from image
    fs.Read(filetosend, 0, filetosend.Length);
    fs.Flush();
    fs.Close();
    int countt = filetosend.Count();
    int dividedcount = countt / 7000;
    Sender.Send(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("filesize#" + filetosend.Count().ToString()));
    Thread.Sleep(500);
    List<byte> cuttedtosend = new List<byte>();
    for (int counti = 0; counti < dividedcount; counti++)
    {
        cuttedtosend = new List<byte>();
        for (int index = 0; index < 7000; index++)
        {
            cuttedtosend.Add(filetosend[(filetosend.Count() - countt) + index]);
        }
        Sender.Send(cuttedtosend.ToArray());
        Thread.Sleep(100);
        countt -= 7000;
        richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText("Countt = " + countt + "\n"); });
        richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText("Counti = " + counti + "\n"); });
    }
    richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText("Done"); });
    cuttedtosend = new List<byte>();
    for (int index = filetosend.Count() - countt; index < filetosend.Count(); index++)
    {
        //richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText(index + "this is 2 \n"); });
        cuttedtosend.Add(filetosend[index]);
    }
    Sender.Send(cuttedtosend.ToArray());
    countt -= countt;
    return "";
}

And here is my receive code:
private async void StartReceiving()
{
    List<byte> neededbytes = new List<byte>();
    receivedbyte = new byte[InputForm.s];
    Receiver.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("0"), 6112));
    Receiver.Listen(1000);
    string filename = "Downloadedfile";
    bool cont = false;
    while (true)
    {
        Client = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);
        Client = Receiver.Accept();
        int filesize = 0;
        byte[] receivechecker = new byte[100];
        Client.Receive(receivechecker);
        if(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(receivechecker).Contains("filesize#"))
        {
            filesize = Convert.ToInt32(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(receivechecker).Remove(0, 9));
            Client.Receive(receivechecker);
        }
        if (Encoding.ASCII.GetString(receivechecker).Contains("#100254#"))
        {
            string[] splttedtext = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(receivechecker.ToArray()).Split('#');

            }
            else if (splttedtext[0] == "filename")
            {
                //MessageBox.Show(splttedtext[2]);
                filename = splttedtext[2];
                //filename.Replace(@"\", @"/");
                cont = true;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            List<byte> tosave = new List<byte>();
            richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText(filesize.ToString() + "\n"); });
            int countt = filesize / 7000;
            FileStream writer = File.Create("DownloadedFile.jpg");
            for (int counti = 0; counti < countt; counti++)
            {
                byte[] toadd = new byte[7000];
                richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText("Counti = " + counti.ToString() + "\n"); });
                Client.Receive(toadd);
                writer.Write(toadd,0,toadd.Count());
                neededbytes.AddRange(toadd);
                filesize -= 7000;
            }
            richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText(filesize.ToString() + "\n"); });
            byte[] toadds = new byte[filesize];
            Client.Receive(toadds);
            writer.Write(toadds,0,toadds.Count());
            writer.Close();
            neededbytes.AddRange(toadds);
            filesize -= filesize;
        }
   }

Thanks in advance :D
Edit:
I just tried Sending a 7mb text file and it reached complete.......

A: The most immediate problem is that you're saving bytes that you didn't necessarily receive. For example, you have:
        for (int counti = 0; counti < countt; counti++)
        {
            byte[] toadd = new byte[7000];
            richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText("Counti = " + counti.ToString() + "\n"); });
            Client.Receive(toadd);
            writer.Write(toadd,0,toadd.Count());
            neededbytes.AddRange(toadd);
            filesize -= 7000;
        }

The documentation for Receive says that the method will receive up to the number of bytes you request. It's not uncommon for it to return fewer bytes than you requested, especially at the end of the file (since it couldn't receive more than the file length).
You need to write:
var bytesRead = Client.Receive(toadd);
writer.Write(toadd, 0, bytesRead);  // only write as many bytes as you've read

In general, your code is pretty convoluted, and you have several other possible problems just waiting to bite you. For example, the code that sends the file size sleeps for 500 ms, which just happens to be enough time for the receiver to read just the number of bytes sent. Without that sleep, your code would fail.
You have code to receive the file name, but no code to send it.
I would suggest that you eliminate the ASCII tags and send things in binary. Below is your rewritten Send method.
private string SendFile(string tosend, string tosendname)
{
    ipadd = IPAddress.Parse(textBox2.Text);
    ep = new IPEndPoint(ipadd, 6112);
    Sender = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);
    Sender.Connect(ep);

    byte[] filetosend = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(tosend);
    byte[] filesizeBytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(filetosend.Length);
    Sender.Send(filesizeBytes); // sends the length as an integer

    // note: You could use Socket.Send(filetosend) here.
    // but I'll show an example of sending in chunks.
    int totalBytesSent = 0;
    while (totalBytesSent < filetosend.Length)
    {
        int bytesLeft = filetosend.Length - totalBytesSent;
        int bytesToSend = Math.Min(bytesLeft, 7000);
        Sender.Send(filetosend, totalBytesSent, bytesToSend);
        richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
            { richTextBox1.Append(totalBytesSent + " bytes sent\n"); });
        totalBytesSent += bytesToSend;
    }
    richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { richTextBox1.AppendText("Done"); });
    return "";
}

The receiver code is similarly simplified:
private async void StartReceiving()
{
    Receiver.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("0"), 6112));
    Receiver.Listen(1000);
    string filename = "Downloadedfile";
    bool cont = false;
    while (true)
    {
        Client = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);
        Client = Receiver.Accept();

        // read the length
        byte[] filesizeBytes = new byte[4];
        int totalBytesReceived = 0;
        while (totalBytesReceived < 4)
        {
            int bytesRead = Client.Receive(
                filesizeBytes, totalBytesReceived, 4-totalBytesReceived);
            totalBytesReceived += bytesRead;
        }
        int filesize = BitConverter.ToInt32(filesizeBytes);
        richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
            { richTextBox1.AppendText(filesize.ToString() + "\n"); });

        // now read the file
        using (FileStream writer = File.Create("DownloadedFile.jpg"))
        {
            byte[] readBuffer = new byte[7000];
            totalBytesReceived = 0;
            while (totalBytesReceived < filesize)
            {
                int bytesToRead = Math.Min(7000, filesize - totalBytesReceived);
                int bytesRead = Client.Receive(readBuffer, 0, bytesToRead);
                totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
                writer.Write(readBuffer, 0, bytesRead);
                richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
                    { richTextBox1.AppendText("Read " + bytesRead.ToString() + "bytes\n"); });
            }
            richTextBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
                { richTextBox1.AppendText("Done. " + totalBytesRead.ToString() + " bytes\n"); });
        }
   }

If you want to send the file name, then I would suggest converting it to UTF8 (Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(filename)), then send an int (4 bytes) that says how long it is, and then the buffer. To receive it, read the 4-byte filename length like I showed how to read the file size, then that many bytes for the file name, and convert back to a string (Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, 0, filenameLength)).
Please excuse any typos or minor errors in the code. I'm doing this from memory and trying to keep somewhat with your coding style.

A: i suspect that you are expecting the same blocks that you send to be received; ie that record boundaries will be preserved. This is not so. TCP guarantees that every byte sent will be received and that order is preserved; but you could do 1 large 10k send and receive 10k 1 byte messages.

Web Epoch to exhibit iClickPoint™ at the National Employment Lawyers Association of New Jersey ("NELA-NJ") annual conference.
My long time friend, Fred Shahrooz Scampato, Esquire invited Web Epoch to exhibit iClickPoint™ at the National Employment Lawyers Association of New Jersey ("NELA-NJ") annual conference. He reminded me of my vision about using iClickPoint™ as a case management tool for litigation attorneys. As I have experience being a client on the plaintiff's side of several litigation, I had accumulated numerous legal documents versions in my email inbox and/or a single folder on my desktop. As a client, I am the one who is paying for everything and I have the least control over my documents as the case start to evolve during the five to seven year journey. As for the attorneys, their piles of case documents bulging out from existing file system, spilling onto the desktop and spreading across the floor speaks volumes of the need for a more efficient case management system.
Web Epoch demonstrated iClickPoint™ & iClickPad™ "Case Management in the Cloud" solution at the NJICLE NELA-NJ annual conference on October 19, 2012 at the NJ Law Center, New Brunswick, N.J., and at another legal conference on November 19, 2012 at Renaissance Woodbridge Hotel in Iselin, N.J.
During conference breaks several attorneys stopped by our vendor table and gave us an opportunity to demonstrate iClickPoint™ and iClickPad™ Case Management in the Cloud SaaS (software as a service) solution. What we discovered was that many law firms and attorneys are using software or a service for remote access to their office PC. This means your PC, server and local network must remain turned on 24x7x365 and you have to pay for its energy cost. In addition, remote access to the case documents has many limitations including slow performance, single user instance and the inability to collaborate.
At the November 19, 2012, legal conference, "One attorney shared with me that Sandy left his Law Firm with no power for 10 days!" If this law firm had been using iClickPoint™ & iClickPad™ "Case Management in the Cloud", then they would have been able to maintain complete access to all of their legal files with no interruption. The reason is that all of their computer files are kept in secure locations on the internet and therefore, the fact that their offices and PCs were without power for ten days was irrelevant.
When you evaluate iClickPoint™ & iClickPad™ you will notice the totally new leading-edge "look and feel" with drag & drop intuitive user interface that requires little or no training to start creating your law firm's case library in the Cloud. iClickPoint™ online case management solution is simply much more intuitive to use. Anytime and anywhere allows attorneys to review the entire case folder on your laptop, iPad or HTML 5 Tablet. You don't need to hire an Administrator, iClickPoint™ and iClickPad™ is very are easy to use for online case management.
During my conversation with Ron Wronko, Esq., a concern surfaced regarding the thirty plus sub-folders supporting a legal case that would take time to be created and populated by uploading multiple documents. However, iClickPoint™ Case Management addresses this issue with an automated "library creation software tool" that we use to automatically create your case library for you during your initial setup.
Each case folder can expand quickly to reveal a hierarchical tree with document titles and thumbnails. You click to enter the document view and page through. You can search by document properties. Our intelligent document builder lets you organize the order of your case sections such as discovery, exhibits, etc and then publish it as a single cohesive file with table of content. This new feature is scheduled to be released in January 2013.
From a client's point of view, I welcome iClickPoint™ "Case Management in the Cloud" presentation builder to help me visualize and organize my case documents and exhibits. I hope you will find iClickPoint™ as the case management tool that you have long been waiting for and find that it is intuitive and easy to use.

Massachusetts hospitals scramble to respond to the surge in children sick with RSV
WBUR | By Priyanka Dayal McCluskey
Published December 1, 2022 at 6:01 PM EST
A nurse works in the pediatric ICU at UMass Memorial Medical Center. (Jesse Costa/WBUR)
Dr. Tim Gibson was working a shift at Winchester Hospital when he saw a 7-week-old baby with RSV struggling to breathe.
The child needed intensive care. But these days, pediatric ICUs in Massachusetts are usually full.
"We called every hospital within 200 miles, and they all said, 'We don't have a bed, do your best.' And it was a real, real sick kid," Gibson said.
Eventually, UMass Memorial Medical Center, where Gibson also works as chief of pediatric hospital medicine, found space for that baby.
Another child would have to wait a little longer to receive treatment. These are the types of choices doctors are making as a spike in cases of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, strains hospitals across Massachusetts and forces them to employ new strategies to cope with the wave of young patients.
Hospitals are canceling surgeries to make room for kids with respiratory illness. They're repurposing some spaces to accommodate more patients. And they're asking tired doctors and nurses to pick up extra shifts.
As they scramble to respond to RSV, they're also bracing for an uptick in flu. And COVID continues to spread.
RSV is an old virus, but it's hitting with new force this year — at least partly because fewer people are wearing masks than during the previous two winters.
The virus is usually mild. But it can be serious for children with heart or lung disease, and for newborn babies with tiny airways. Some patients are just a few days old.
"The onslaught just keeps coming," Gibson said. "It's been the worst I've ever seen."
Sometimes, there are no ICU beds for kids anywhere in Massachusetts, and they need to be transferred to another New England state. Other children wait in crowded emergency departments for hours until hospital staff can find them a bed.
State officials have loosened some regulations to help hospitals free up space for more patients.
At hospitals in the Mass General Brigham system, some teenage patients are staying in adult units. And some older babies are being treated in ICUs typically reserved for newborns in their first days of life.
Boston Children's Hospital is keeping some patients overnight in rooms normally used for short-term recovery from surgery.
And the pediatric wing at UMass Memorial is borrowing a few beds from a nearby unit for adults.
The Worcester hospital is also increasing capacity to treat the sickest patients by offering at least one element of ICU care outside the ICU. The treatment, called high-flow nasal cannula, blows humidified oxygen through prongs placed in a child's nose.
"Our census — it fluctuates minute to minute, hour to hour, but we've been full," said Dr. Larry Rhein, chair of pediatrics at UMass Memorial. "It's a revolving door of who it is, but it's always full."
Children who develop the lung infection pneumonia or inflammation known as bronchiolitis from RSV usually improve after a couple days of treatment with oxygen and fluids.
Rhein said the staff are trying to treat patients quickly, send them home and make room for more.
One way they plan to do this is by moving certain patients who recover into a playroom filled with books, toys and games. Children can play here — with supervision — until their families are ready to bring them home.
"That will free up their bed space for the next young infant to come in, who does need the monitoring, and does need nursing attention," Rhein said.
Each day at UMass Memorial, about a dozen children in the emergency department typically wait for a bed.
For pediatricians, this crisis feels eerily like the early pandemic days of 2020, when hospitals were flooded with COVID patients. Now, it's RSV patients.
But hospitals are under more pressure today, said Dr. Paul Biddinger, who leads emergency preparedness for Mass General Brigham. They're grappling with a shortage of health care workers and an increase in sick patients.
"All of this is occurring in the context of an extraordinarily overcrowded health care system at baseline," Biddinger said. "This is very different than when we went into the pandemic in March of 2020 with a busy health care system — but one that did not have levels of crowding that we see today."
Massachusetts has about 1,000 hospital beds for children, and fewer than 150 of them are for kids who need intensive care, according to the state Department of Public Health. Those ICU beds are spread across just five hospitals — three of them in Boston.
Tufts Medical Center closed all of its pediatric beds this summer, including 10 ICU beds. Boston Children's, meanwhile, opened a new inpatient tower.
At Boston Children's, the biggest pediatric hospital in Massachusetts, staff in the command center make calls throughout the day to help manage the flow of patients across the region.
Dr. Sara Toomey, the hospital's chief safety and quality officer, said doctors and nurses are working to triage the sickest kids and see them quickly.
"We are really trying our best to make sure that every kid is getting the care they need," she said. "Admittedly, it might take a little longer."
Boston Children's expanded its emergency department to accommodate the influx of patients, by borrowing space from a day clinic.
"We're over capacity on many days and are using every possible space we have," Toomey said.
Doctors have noticed a dip in RSV cases in recent days. But the capacity crunch has not eased.
And even as RSV declines, flu is likely to rise.
"We're anticipating this to go on, probably, realistically, until the spring," Toomey said. "So [we're] thinking and planning actively to make sure we can support our community up through the end of April."
There is no approved vaccine for RSV. But doctors are urging people to stay up to date on flu and COVID vaccinations to reduce the spread of other respiratory illness through the rest of fall and winter.
And while medical groups are not pushing for mask mandates, they are asking people to consider wearing masks, at least in crowded indoor spaces.
"Anything that people can do — washing their hands, wearing masks, getting vaccinated — will help," said Rhein, of UMass Memorial.
"We really are working incredibly hard, and we want to be available. And we are. But it will take everyone's help."

Fiddleford is a hamlet in the county of Dorset in southern England. Fiddleford is situated between Sturminster Newton and Okeford Fitzpaine in the North Dorset administrative district. It was founded by an English nobleman named Fitela (Fitela's Ford), and the aforementioned ford is over the River Stour.

The origin of the place-name is from Old English Fitela and ford  meaning (homestead or farm) of a man called Fitela; the place-name appears as Fitelford in 1244.

Fiddleford has approximately 25 houses, a manor house by the river (Fiddleford Manor), a public house (the Fiddleford Inn), and a large mushroom farm.

Stosur downs Dementieva in late show thriller
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Samantha Stosur saved four match points in a thrilling third set as she fought back to beat Russian Elena Dementieva 6-3 2-6 7-6 and reach the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open in the early hours of Monday morning.
The fifth-seeded Australian won the climactic tiebreaker 7-2 to end the titanic, two-hour 38-minute encounter at 1:35 a.m. (0535 GMT) in the latest-ending women's match ever staged at the U.S. Open.
"That's definitely one of the most exciting matches I've ever played," Stosur told reporters. "The atmosphere out there was just awesome. I think we both played a great match."
The third set produced the best tennis of the women's tournament so far, with French Open finalist Stosur saving one match point when 12th seed Dementieva served at 5-3 and three more on her own serve in the next game.
The see-saw struggle saw both players raise their games in the final set, ripping groundstrokes with abandon and going for the lines.
In the end it was Stosur who held her nerve best, drawing errors from the usually steady Russian and clinching the decider on two forehand errors from the Olympic champion, who was runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2004.
The women's match ended the night program on center court, following a men's third-round match won by 12th-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny over American John Isner in four sets.
"It's tough," Dementieva said. "We were waiting for a long time before we went on the court.
"It was probably one of the latest matches I ever played in my life. It was really difficult to stay focused. We had ups and downs all the time, both of us, during the match."
COURAGEOUS TENNIS
Stosur seemed to fall out of synch in the second set, losing her serve all four times and spraying unforced errors.
The Australian lost serve again in the second game of the third set to concede her fifth successive break and fall behind 3-0. She got back on serve with a break in the fifth game but Dementieva broke again to take a 5-3 lead.
That is when Stosur produced her most courageous tennis.
"I think the main thing is you want to play a tough point," said Stosur, who also saved four match points in winning a match last week in New Haven, and who saved a match point to beat Serena Williams at the French Open.
"If you get the opportunity to step in and go for a winner, of course do it. But you just want to make them earn it."
Stosur had never before got past the second round at Flushing Meadows.
"I think the last year and half I've been playing much better and really found my confidence and belief," she said. "So to come here and get my best result ever is great."
The victory lifted Stosur into a quarter-final showdown against second-seeded defending champion Kim Clijsters.
"I think she's won 18 matches in a row here," Stosur said of the Belgian, who also won in 2005 before her temporary retirement. "It's not going to be easy, but I'll give it my best."

Missouri town gets new newspaper, The Uranus Examiner
By Dan Claxton, KRCG 1536936871000
The town of Uranus has a new newspaper. (MGN)
ST. ROBERT, Mo. (KRCG) — The editor of a new newspaper in Pulaski County says despite its unusual name, the Uranus Examiner will be a serious source of news intended to serve the public in the wake of the death of the Waynesville Daily Guide.
Natalie Sanders, who was once the managing editor of the Daily Guide, said the death of the paper left a void in the community. "Providing an unbiased news source was important to all of us," she said. She said she and a few other people had planned to start a humorous newspaper parody called the Uranus Examiner, but when the need for a real newspaper came along, they decided to fill the void.
Sanders mourns the loss of the Daily Guide and says she has been encouraged by other community members. "I was really upset when the Daily Guide closed," she said. But "support has been overwhelming, really. Some people have been a bit 'stodgy' about it," referring to the name.
The name refers to a tourist destination on Route 66 in St. Robert called "Uranus." Most of the business there are owned by the spot's self-proclaimed mayor, Louie Keen, as will the Examiner.
But Sanders says the name stays. "In America today, we have been getting way too politically correct, in my opinion," she said.
The newspaper will not follow the "subscription model" that many newspaper readers are accustomed to. Instead of subscribing to the paper, it will come in the mail for free. Sanders said they plan to start by mailing it to 15,000 addresses in Pulaski County, and hope to increase that number to 25,000 eventually. Revenue would be generated by advertising.
The paper plans to start with a payroll of three or four employees, including a full-time blogger, a stringer, a sports reporter, and Sanders herself.
The area is already served by an online news source, The Pulaski County Daily News.


Vettel the only man to leave Valencia happy?
There wasn't a huge amount to discuss after the European Grand Prix in Valencia.
As ever the track and scenery looked great (it even served up some good racing in the earlier GP2 and GP3 races, especially the GP3 races, so try and catch those on Eurosport if it's repeated), but the Formula One race was as dull as previous years.
Even the new Pirelli compound tyres served up little to get excited about, while a double DRS zone failed to produce many overtaking manoeuvres.
In short, it lacked excitement, controversy and practically everything we had witnessed in the previous races of the 2011 season, except one thing, Sebastian Vettel coming out on top.
'From the outside, I'm not sure if it seemed that much was happening in the race, but I enjoy it so much when it's between you and the car on every single lap. he told formula1.com after the race.
'Of course, I had pressure from behind, especially as the strategy was a little bit different with Mark [Webber] and Fernando [Alonso] – sometimes they were pitting earlier and sometimes later. I had a gap before the first pit-stop, but I came out very close to them, so again I had to push hard while judging the tyres and trying to imagine what the end of the stint might be like.
It's pretty clear that the spectators are less than happy with the Valencia track, with some BBC F1 viewers calling for the race to be scrapped on the BBC's red button forum after the race.

On Monday 6th February, the children in Willow and Elm Classes had a wonderful Ancient Greek theme day in school. They took part in a range of activities including role-play, quizzes and games and learning about Greek weaponry. Dom, who led the day, was very complimentary about the great attitude of our children and it was lovely to see them in their wonderful costumes.


Renting an apartment is necessity when you cannot or don't want to buy a property. Sometimes a short stay for employment purpose or some time it is not economically viable. Precautions you should take before renting an apartment. Presuming you have negotiated for rent and deposits, let us see what you should check before entering into an agreement.
Car Park: Majority of societies in India do not allow car park of the tenant. Although the owner will say that car park is there but when you enter into contract and go to stay, society do not allow your car inside. Worst cases have seen that though society write it on notice board that one car park is allowed for tenant, but they refuse it on pretext of non availability of parking space.
Gas Connection : Gas pipelines are best preferred while entering into temporary accommodation. Gas Cylinders are sold in black by the dealers and you sometimes don't get it out of turn even by paying black premium. Gas pipelines are must for tenants as they have to pay just what they consume. Please check the meter reading before you start using it or else you may end up paying someone else's bill. The metered units must be mentioned in the lease agreement.

If you are confused about tyre pressures on your car then you are not alone as there are several variants depending on your model designation, suspension type, tyre manufacturer and tyre set-up (square or staggered).
Please see Tyre Pressures for what you should be running on your car.
How should I correctly check my tyre pressures?
Check pressures when the tyres are cold (tyres which have not been used in the last 2 hours or have covered less than 2 miles at low speed).
Ideally check your cold tyres when the ambient temperature is at an average for the time of year.
If you need to check your tyres when hot (through driving) when they are checked, add 4 to 5 psi (0.3 bar) to the recommended pressure. Re-check the pressures when the tyres are cold.
Tyres filled with air (as opposed to Nitrogen) typically lose 1 psi per month, checking your tyre pressure once a month is advised.

Elegantly rising from the Miami skyline, Hadid's newest project features only half or full floor traditional and townhome units. Breathtaking in design, 1000 Museum encapsulates 83 ultra-luxurious residences.
The building's location makes it the epitome of upscale Brickell living. Positioned directly on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, owners are only a stones throw away from the Frost Science Museum, Perez Art Museum, Museum Park, American Airlines Arena, and Bayfront Shopping Center.

Q: Read/Write/Find/Replace huge csv file I have a huge (4,5 GB) csv file.. I need to perform basic cut and paste, replace operations for some columns.. the data is pretty well organized.. the only problem is I cannot play with it with Excel because of the size (2000 rows, 550000 columns).
here is some part of the data:
ID,Affection,Sex,DRB1_1,DRB1_2,SENum,SEStatus,AntiCCP,RFUW,rs3094315,rs12562034,rs3934834,rs9442372,rs3737728

D0024949,0,F,0101,0401,SS,yes,?,?,A_A,A_A,G_G,G_G
D0024302,0,F,0101,7,SN,yes,?,?,A_A,G_G,A_G,?_?
D0023151,0,F,0101,11,SN,yes,?,?,A_A,G_G,G_G,G_G

I need to remove 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th columns;
I need to find every _ character from column 10 onwards and replace it with a space ( ) character;
I need to replace every ? with zero (0);
I need to replace every comma with a tab;
I need to remove first row (that has column names;
I need to replace every 0 with 1, every 1 with 2 and every ? with 0 in 2nd column;
I need to replace F with 2, M with 1 and ? with 0 in 3rd column;
so that in the resulting file the output reads:
D0024949 1 2 A A A A G G G G

D0024302 1 2 A A G G A G 0 0

D0023151 1 2 A A G G G G G G

(both input and output should read one line per row, ne extra blank row)
Is there a memory efficient way of doing that with java(and I need a code to do that) or a usable tool for playing with this large data so that I can easily apply Excel functionality..

A: You need two things:
- Knowledge of Regular Expressions (aka Regex, Regexes)
- PowerGrep
