Located between the lakes Cocibolca and Xolotlán, Masaya is the smallest department of Nicaragua and one of the most densely populated, is part of the denominated Metropolitan Region of Managua.
The department of Masaya is very tourist, famous for its handicrafts, culture and folklore, in addition to possessing a huge natural potential. Masaya is worth to visit and know thoroughly.
Masaya presents a varied territory, in the municipalities of the south, Catarina, La Concepción, Masatepe, Nandasmo, Niquinohomo and San Juan de Oriente, the terrain is uneven and has elevations of more than 500 meters above sea level, Temporary rivers that descend from the Meseta de los Pueblos, from Carazo and flow into the Laguna de Masaya. The municipalities of the north, Masaya, Nindiri and Tisma present a flat territory, characteristic of the Interlacustre Plain.
The departmental capital has the same name as the department and is known as the city of flowers. Located just 30 kilometers southeast of Managua, Masaya is also the main producer of handicrafts nationwide. Do not miss visiting its two markets, the New and Old, to observe and buy handicrafts from all over the country. Owning a beautiful old town, it has unrivaled attractions in the country, its old Coyotepe fortress or the malecon are very interesting to know. It also has a great tourist and recreational offer, hotels, lodges, bars, pubs and discos.
Masaya is one of the most important cities in Nicaragua. Located to the southwest of Managua, of which it separates it just 28 km, and to 14 km to the north of Granada is located to the edge of the lagoon of the same name and to the feet of the volcano Masaya - also called Popogatepe, "mountain that burns" in Chorotega
Masaya, formerly called "Mazatlan", a word derived from the language of the Nahuas - a variant of Nahuatl or pipil - and comes from the word mazatl meaning "deer" and the particle -tlan that denotes "place or place." That is, "place of deer".
It was built by the Spanish conquistadors alongside an indigenous village called Monimbó. Name that is currently used by the Indigenous community of Monimbo.
It is known as "ciudad de las flores" and "Cuna del folklore nicaragüense". Nicknames that were placed for being the city where flowers are grown and sold to the rest of the country and for the cultural nature of the city, where several traditional dances and dances have been born, as well as most handicrafts.
The "Masayas" - inhabitants of the city - are well known for their artistic skills and the creation of handicrafts.
The situation of Masaya in Nicaragua makes it an important communications hub in transportation. It has an active manufacturing industry of agricultural products, like tobacco (manufacture of cigars) and processing of natural fibers.
Artisan production is very important, it can be said that it is the center of Nicaraguan handicrafts, with a very strong pre-Columbian culture component, mainly wood, leather, ceramics, stones and fabrics. Industrially they are also produced; Shoes, leather goods, soap and starch.
In this sense it is very interesting to know the different craft centers and small workshops where exquisite pieces are made.
Very recommendable in this sense the visit to the Old Market Masaya, where you can meet a bustling Nicaraguan market specialized in handicrafts and tourism products.
It is just as interesting the market because of its old appearance, although it was restored a short time ago, it remained a characteristic aspect that will go back to later years. This is located just one block away from Central Park.
Also the visit to the New Market is highly recommended, where you can make daily purchases and know firsthand the daily chore of people. In addition to seeing the typical local products.
Architecturally, Masaya has plenty to offer. Standing out from the church of Our Lady of the Assumption, located in the central Park of the City and built in 1750, it is of great interest to preserve almost its original state.
As well as the church of San Jerónimo, which was built in 1833 and welcomes the image of the Masaya Patron, with one of Nicaragua's slimest steeples.
Also worth visiting are the churches of San Juan, San Miguel and Magdalena, located in the Monimbó neighborhood.
The Monimbó neighborhood deserves special attention because it is the place where the indigenous people of Monimbó are located. Located to the south of Masaya and specialized in the manufacture of Crafts, it is impossible to visit it without acquiring any of the ones that are manufactured in the innumerable workshops of artisans that are located in their houses. There you can buy hammocks, shoes, handbags, ceramics, etc. at favorable prices. In addition to knowing firsthand how they manufacture them.
The natives of the Monimbó are known for their hospitality, as well as nationally respected for their heroic contribution to the national war against Walker in 1856, as well as during the American occupation of 1912 or in the revolutionary insurrection of 1978, which each year is commemorated with a March.
Located at the entrance of the city of Masaya coming from Managua and located on a hill from where you can see the whole city, the fort was built at the end of the 19th century and can be visited by a symbolic sum paid upon entry.
In addition to appreciating the beautiful views, in El Coyotepe you can feel the recent Nicaraguan history first hand. It was an important stage during the wars of the beginning of the last century, but it is notorious for being the prison of political prisoners, revolutionaries and opponents of the Somocista regime, characterized by the practice of the most vile atrocities with people.
Another very interesting and very pleasant sight is the Malecon de Masaya, a walk from where to enjoy a beautiful view towards the Masaya Lagoon, with the bottom of the Masaya Volcano. In the walk you can also find several points of sale of handicrafts and hammocks.
Built in 1926 and now rehabilitated as a workshop school, is of interest to know the history of the country that sold its railway in the 90s.
The schedule of celebrations in Masaya is very dense, so it is very easy to match your visit with a local party. Especially if your visit coincides with one of the typical Catholic festivities.
On January 6, the Pass of the Child God is celebrated. During Holy Week, the feasts begin on St. Lazarus Sunday, during which parishioners bring their pets to be baptized at church and continue daily until the end of Holy Week. In April it is celebrated in honor of the Lord of Miracles. In May the feast of the Cross and in June, July and August all the saints of the celestial court as well as the virgins, although of lesser interest.
The most important parties are given on September 30 and are in honor of the patron saint of San Jerónimo. There are many activities organized as well as processions full of flowers, cultural events, folk dances, etc.
During all the celebrations of Masaya, the premises use the characteristic disguises of the Bull-Deer. Especially in the time of Carnival, where they are increasingly better known nationally.
Among the folk acts that have been born in this land stands out for its singularity "El Toro venado". It was born as a procession for a promise to the patron saint of the city, San Jerónimo, and soon became a carnival. The procession, in which the venerated image is continued, is a parade of disguises where only men participate, many of them disguised as women. The union of the ancestral customs with the Christian ones has given place to this cultural expression that is especially rooted in the indigenous community of Monimbó that occupies the populous district of the same name. In its most authentic aspect, in the native, the Toro-deer seems to have an expression of mockery against the Spanish conquistador.
The Feast of Agüizotes or simply "The Agüizotes" is a traditional Nicaraguan celebration held annually as a tradition of the inhabitants of the city of Masaya since the mid-twentieth century and takes place the last Friday of October, with a previous On Thursday night with the long-awaited "Vela del Candil".
A few kilometers from the city of Masaya is the Masaya Volcanic Natural Reserve, where it is possible to see from the crater Santiago the lava and the fumes from its interior. Known since the time of colonization as "The Mouth of Hell" touring the Reserve is an experience that can not miss.
Less known but of equal interest is the Masaya Lagoon, located in the Masaya Volcano National Park. Of great interest to nature lovers and excursions.
One of the biggest attractions of this department and of the country is the Laguna de Apoyo Natural Reserve. Apart from enjoying its landscapes, its natural environment, its crystal clear waters and refreshing baths, you can do a number of activities such as hiking, horseback riding, kayaking The paragliding.
Around the lagoon there is a great variety of services oriented to satisfy the needs of the visitors, from food, to sale of crafts, culture and fun as well as where to stay.
If you visit the Laguna de Apoyo you can not miss visiting one of its most famous viewpoints, such as El Mirador de Catarina, in the municipality of Catarina.
If nature is involved, you can visit the Tisma Lagoon Natural Reserve, which is one of the RAMSAR sites. It is a wetland of lacustrine origin formed by the Tisma Lagoon, the Tuela Playuela, the Laguna Amapa, the Estero de Poneloyo and part of the Tipitapa River. Its territory extends through the departments of Managua and Tipitapa, in the latter in the municipality of Tisma.
In the department of Masaya there are part of municipalities that make up the so-called "White Villages" (Catarina, San Juan de Oriente, Niquinohomo, Nandasmo, Masatepe / of the department of Granada, Diriá and Diriomo). Its name comes from the white color in which the walls of their houses are painted with lime. Another characteristic of the White Villages is the elaboration of crafts, emphasizing the one of ceramics, the saddlery and the elaboration of furniture of wicker and wood. Its streets and roads are painted a thousand colors and filled with smells from the flowers and plants of their nurseries.
In Nindirí you can approach the history of this department by visiting the Tenderí Museum and the Ethnographic Museum Nacudari.
Niquinohomo, the cradle of the General of Free Men, Augusto C. Sandino, was declared Historical Patrimony of the Nation in the year 2002.
If you visit Masatepe do not forget to try what they say is the best modongo soup in the country.

Of late, the hydro-political dynamics in the basin has changed due to the following six factors: (i) the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) in Ethiopia; (ii) the joint/common positions of upstream states by: (a) asserting their equitable rights to the Nile waters, (b) rejecting colonial/post-colonial agreements, (c) nullifying Egypt's 'historical rights' and (d) dashing Egyptian 'veto power'; (iii) increasing political and economic clouts of upstream states that has more or less created level playing field between up- and downstream states;; (iv) mobilization of alternative funding for unilateral water infrastructure development from other sources (e.g. China and some of the other BRICS members) and less reliance on traditional funders (e.g. The World Bank); (v) Sudan's unexpected support for GERD – a diplomatic coup for Ethiopia and a political setback for Egypt and (vi) the loss of the bargaining powers of Egypt over international powers and financial institutions (FIs) mainly as a result of the prevalence of post-Mubarak turbulence.

Q: Memory management bottleneck to SMP Parallelism Across multiple languages (mostly D and Java/Jython) I've noticed that parallel programs with no obvious synchronization bottleneck often don't scale well to 4 or more cores because of memory management bottlenecks.  I'm aware that thread-local allocators mitigate this problem, but most garbage collector implementations still need to stop the world.  Garbage collection is not embarrassingly parallel (shared state has to be updated way too often), so using a parallel collector doesn't completely solve the problem.  In the case of manual memory management, even if allocations are mostly from a thread-local allocator, the memory still has to be freed, possibly from a different thread than the one it was allocated in.
Is there any language/runtime/malloc implementation for which the memory management bottleneck to SMP parallelism is for all practical purposes a solved problem, while still allowing traditional shared address space multithreading?

A: No.
What you describe as the memory management bottleneck is an intrinsic feature, albeit not a desirable one, of SMP computers.  Sooner or later the demands of processors for access to memory will overwhelm the memory bus and processing will slow down, or at best stop going faster, with the addition of more processors.
I'm surprised that you generally run into this problem on only 4 cores, in the past I've used SGI Altix machines on which some of my codes would scale well up to and beyond 256 cores.  But whether it's your code hitting the bottleneck at 4 cores or mine at 256 or another code at 2048 (if you can find a 2048-core SMP) there will always be a bottleneck.

A: One improvement on an SMP system would be a NUMA aware allocator/collector, which Java already seems to have: http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/vm/performance-enhancements-7.html#numa


If you like rum and live in Southbourne, then you will love the Southbourne Rum Club that is run by Peter and Pauline Holland, aka the Floating Rum Shack.
Aside from the Rum Club, Peter occasionally opens a Tiki Bar up above the Larder House on Southbourne Grove. It's open to all and he publicises it on Social Media when the time comes but you can take a look at the video below to get a jist of what happens in this small cosy affair.
The video has been created as part of the #SoBoMile project for Bournemouth foodies that I am doing in my spare time.
There are other clips on the SoBo Mile YouTube Channel.
I've now posted a short video on the Wight Bear Micro Pub on Southbourne Grove as a continuation of the #sobomile project.
The thumbnail that YouTube came up with is classic and making me hungry already.
Well that was fun. I did an interview with Rupert from Conker Spirit as part of my Sobo Mile project to promote Southbourne as a foodie destination.
Rupert's work definitely puts him down as a local food and drink hero, who is ever present and supports many different local events.
You can see the video below that I uploaded to YouTube.
Give it a like and share it on if you find it interesting. Maybe next time he can tell us about this new product that he couldn't quite give the details about in the interview.
The weather can make or break things but this year's Shake and Stir Vintage Festival was the best yet. It has to be the best free event in the Bournemouth area.
It was the first time I saw Mungo Jerry playing live and I really enjoyed it as well as Jesse Ray who closed off the night's music on the high street. There social media profile links are at the bottom if you want to connect and like.
I created a pretty raw little movie just to show off the two days I was there. Amazing what you can do with an iPhone and iMovies. You can see more at the SoBo Mile YouTube Channel.
Shake and Stir is put on by a group of volunteers and committee members. I want to say a big thank you to Mandy Payne and Fiona McArthur, as well as Councillor Chris Mayne, and all the unnamed volunteers on the day.
There is a Just Giving page for donations that go towards funding the event and future events. This event is not put on by Bournemouth Council. The event has to apply for grants as well as gaining sponsorship and income from trader stalls. The Council charges a lot to have the main road closed off. Plus the music acts as well.
It's lovely to see all generations coming out to enjoy the day. To get dressed up and to dance away. It really is marvellous.
If you attended the event, and enjoyed it, then please consider throwing a few pounds into the virtual collection bucket if you haven't done so already. It's worth at least a pound each isn't it?


CareerSource Heartland has received reports of calls to individuals stating it is the State of Florida calling concerning a criminal matter. The recipient of the call is being advised to call the local workforce office and provide a 4-digit number (possibly personally identifiable information). The caller provides phone numbers that are not the numbers of the local workforce offices.
This appears to be a scam. Local law enforcement is advising people who receive these calls to block the caller and take no further action.


The single arm standing reverse fly is a shoulder exercise that isolates the posterior deltiod. The posterior deltoid helps the shoulder to maintain proper positioning in the shoulder girdle which improves posture.
Triceps are an often forgotten muscle group. Triceps are located on the opposite side of the biceps at the back of the upper arm. Well strengthened and defined triceps make the arm look bigger and sleeker (reducing the "flabby arm" look).
Start with your feet shoulder width apart with a soft bend in your knees. Square your shoulders off to the theraband with your arm raised to shoulder height.
Open your arm up to the outside of the body. Make sure to kee your arm straight and pull open until the bandtouches your chest.
Return your arm back to a 90 degree angle with your body and repeat.


Eras of Historical Dress - the names of different periods of dress and nailing down the right terminology, which is important when you are researching historical costumes.
Intro to Historical Masquerade - This helped calm my nerves about entering a historical masquerade. It sounds so intimidating to start (you need a portfolio of your work and process, the judge the costume off your body, you do a tech rehearsal, and you preform in a masquerade) but there is some wiggle room so long as you are not entering the recreation category. I can't wait to enter now. Maybe in Montréal in 2020!
Stenciling with Freezer Paper - Mai Sheri had some great tips and I'm looking forward to using this on upcoming projects. Check out her Youtube video here.
Tambour Embroidery - I find this fascinating. Time consuming but fascinating. I can see myself using this for small projects but I don't think I can take the leap to invest in equipment unless I get a formal class.
I tried to attend carnival related costuming panels but both got cancelled due to the panelists either not showing up or being late. That was quite the disappointment.
I also ran a few panels: Wig dyeing and Intro to Headpieces with Kudrel. I had a great group turn out for the dyeing panel and I got to meet some Arda Canada people who were very nice! We also had a great turnout at the headpieces panel and we did a lot of show and tell with the pieces we had on hand.
Costume Con has 4 costume contests! So there is a little something for everyone. What's neat is that the winners are announce within a few hours and a there is a dvd of the show available for sale the next day.
On Friday I judged the Single Pattern contest along with Lizzy and Elemental Photography, where people have to get creative with commercial patterns. We had around 40 entries and a lot of great craftsmanship. It's always fascinating to see what people come up with.
On Saturday I participated in the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Masquerade. This is where you'll find a whole range of costumes from original designs to straight-up recreation from anime, games, and tv shows. I spent most of my afternoon getting ready in Hana. I forgot how long it took to get the makeup done for this costume.
I was ready just in time to get a few quick photos and some video before settling into get to the greenroom. It was a bit chaotic, there was close to 80 entries, but we managed to start on time and I was the fourth person on stage so I didn't have to wait long. I had enough time to leave after my entry, take my time removing my makeup and return before Dex Morgan hit the stage. People were still getting craftsmanship judging even after the show ended.
The awards were handed out at 1 a.m. and I was too tired to go so I was in bed in my room as my friends reported back to me with texts. I got an honorable mention for my dye work and the "Otherwordly Award" for my presentation.
On Sunday there is the Future Fashion Folio and the Historical Masquerade. I did not roll out of bed early enough to see the Future Fashion Folio, where people submit original designs to the convention so that others can recreate them. I did however, make it out to the Historical masquerade which was quite a sight to see. It's was not as theatrical as the Sci-Fi Masquerade (this year at least) but it was a great show for costuming buffs. "Check out that corset" "I love that renaissance silhouette." Also, three cheers for Calamity who MC'd both shows.
Costume Con likes to create a community environment through special events such as the Friday Night Social. Dinner tables are setup in front of the stage that is showing the entries of the Single Pattern contest. There's free food and drinks. It's a good opportunity to meet new people and catch up with old friends.
CC also has a Con Suite where complementary drinks and food is available for con goers. I got to meet a lot of neat people there, share a few stories, and grabbed a few snacks to keep me going through the weekend.
I had a great time collecting ribbons from people over the weekend. I also got a hall costume award - it's been while since I received one of those. Maybe I'll order some ribbon for next time.
I managed to squeeze in a brief shoot with Paul Hiller on Sunday so stay tuned for new Spring Sawsbuck photos.
Special thanks goes out to my awesome roomies and roadtrip buddies Calamity, Dex Morgan and Kudrel for the great hangouts in and out of the hotel hot-tub.
I had a great weekend, it was exhausting at time but well worth it. I learned a lot and I look forward to attending Costume-Con 38 in Montreal and maybe even CC37 in Danvers. Sadly, I don't think I'll make it out to CC36 in San Diego.
I will definitely give it a shot in 2-3 years. Thanks for the encouragement!


Gone are the days when the role of bank clerks was limited to certain areas. Now a bank clerk can reach up to a position of Probationary Officers (PO) through Internal Job Posting (IJP). The career and growth prospect of bank clerks has increased considerably in recent days. Candidates wait eagerly for a job in banks where there are end numbers of opportunities now-a-days. This fact is noticed when large numbers of candidates apply for IBPS, SBI and other banks. The recently held SBI Clerk Exam 2016 was no exception, where around 50 Lakh candidates appeared in the exam for around 19575 posts. Out of which, around 5 lakh candidates have qualified for the SBI Clerk Mains Exam which was held on 25 & 26 June 2016.
It is expected that the result of SBI Clerk Mains Exam 2016 will be announced in the first week of July 2016. Around 60,000 candidates are expected to be called for the Interview. The candidates finally selected on the basis of Interview and written examination will be placed as Junior Associates (JA) and Junior Agricultural Associates (JAA) in various branches across the country.
Unlike SBI Clerk Prelims 2016, SBI Clerk Mains Exam was not a saviour. It brought happiness on some faces while some looked disappointed and frustrated after giving the exam. The paper of all the slots was very tough. Even lot of changes was observed in the SBI Clerk Mains 2016, to name few, there were sectional timings, no questions from computer and marketing, less number of questions, differential marking scheme etc. From the reviews that we received, most of the candidates struggled with the paper.
Within few hours of the conduct of the exam, Mahendras Coaching Institute has come up with the SBI Clerk 2016 Overall Analysis. We had a telephonic interview with Mr. Pradeep Pandey, Senior Faculty of Mahendras Coaching Institute where he had shared with us about the SBI Clerk Mains 2016 Overall Analysis. Read this article to know Mr. Pradeep Pandey's view about the overall paper and section-wise difficulty level, topics covered, cut off, tips for the Interview etc.
Mr. Pradeep Pandey: The growth prospects of bank Clerks is very good now-a-days. A bank Clerk gets promoted to a Probationary Officer (PO) or Officers within very short span of time based on their performance. The promotion policy has become so faster now-a-days which was the case earlier. A Clerk working in SBI enjoys more benefits in terms of Salary, Bonus, Promotion, working environment and other incentives than the one working in other banks of the country. They get easily promoted through Internal Job Posting (IJP) Policy.
Entrance360 : What was the Overall Level of difficulty of SBI Clerk Mains Exam?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : I want to explain the level of difficulty as per different sections. Firstly, the Quantitative Aptitude was above moderate. Few questions in this section were calculative and time-consuming. Many candidates struggled to it. In Reasoning section, the Puzzles were difficult. This time, we have observed that there were no questions from Computer and there were questions on diagrams. The overall level of this section was moderate. The English section was moderate even average candidates did well. Passages, Cloze Test, error detection were moderate. The General Awareness mostly comprised of questions from Banking Awareness. There were very less from Current Affairs. The candidates who have gone through well were able to answer the questions. The section was moderate.
Entrance360 : What difference have you noticed between the SBI Clerk Exam 2014 and SBI Clerk Exam 2016 in terms of level of difficulty, Exam Pattern and Question Pattern?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : Except few, not much change has been noticed. This year, there were no questions from Computer whereas in 2014, there were questions from Computer section. In Reasoning, there were more puzzles in 2014. The Passages in English Section this year were moderate compared to 2014.
Entrance360 : Recently SBI has released the Scorecard of Prelims Exam. We saw that the Cut off was pretty high. What is Mahendras Analysis regarding the Cut off of SBI Clerk Prelims Exam?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : Yes it is true that the SBI Clerk 2016 Prelims cut off went pretty high. The cut off ranged in between 59-60.
Entrance360 : Can you provide us with the Statistics of SBI Clerk Exam 2014 Cutoff and number of candidates finally given appointment? What will be the Cut off according to you of SBI Clerk Mains Exam 2016?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : In 2014, the cutoff of SBI Clerk was 156. This year, it will be around 160 marks. Approximately, from all over India 5000 candidates were selected.
Entrance360 : How many candidates from your Institute appeared for SBI Clerk Mains exam 2016?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : More than 40000 candidates qualified from Mahendras in the SBI Clerk Preliminary Exam.
Entrance360 : What is your take on PM Modi's initiative of abolishing the Interview of lower ranked government jobs? Will SBI scrap Interview in recruitment of JA & JAA?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : This is very good initiative taken by our honourable Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. PM once in his address instructed for abolishing the Interview of lower ranked govt jobs. There have been few instances of corruption where candidates have been demanded bribe. It is really very pathetic that after qualifying the written examination the candidates have to face this situation. There many deserving candidates who are not in a position to pay bribe. Abolishment of Interview will help those candidates who really deserves. On the other hand, Interview proves to be very useful since it helps to judge the personality of the candidates, how well he will fit the working environment, communication skills, Customer Relations etc.
As of now, it is confirmed that Interview will be conducted since nothing has been officially announced yet.
Entrance360 : How will the candidates prepare themselves for Interview? Tell us some frequently asked questions in the Interview?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : Here in our institute, we provide Pre-Interview training to the candidates. In these classes mock interviews are being conducted where the candidates undergoing training have to appear for interview before the panel. The panel comprise of Ex-Bankers who were or are in different Interview Panels are being called upon. They give instruction to the candidates on different grounds.
Grooming your personality is very important for appearing in the Interview. The candidates need to groom themselves both physically and mentally. In Interview, the panellist asks questions related to banking awareness, about one's background/academics. The candidates will have to be sound in banking awareness for doing well in the Interview.
Entrance360 : What is psychometric test? What the candidates are given to do in this test?
Mr. Pradeep Pandey : Psychometric Test is conducted in place of Interview. This is basically for testing the psychology of the candidates. Candidates are given to write or asked questions related to the field they will work for. In nutshell, candidates will be given questions related to banking to test whether they are relevant in this field or not.

Gender Identity In Disney Animated Movies
While the simple notion of understanding the difference between sexes as a biological diversity, the other, more complicated understanding what is considered to be masculine or feminine has its roots in culture. There are many different definitions of what culuture is, but we perceive it as a particular way of life.

Importance Of Equality In The Declaration Of Independence
Equality's primary meaning in the Declaration of Independence was that no one was born to be subjected to anyone's authority. In a closer look, behind this idea, lays the fact that people are possessors of rights, equal rights possessors.

Do not mistake this British band as the resident pop group on the US HULLABALOO show from '65 – '66. They did appear, six times to be exact, but were only coincidentally sharing a similar name. Admittedly their second album, THE HULLABALLOOS ON HULLABALOO would confuse even the most attentive. Alas, the band's name was indeed spelled differently than the program's. So no – they were not the house band.
As with just about every group in those days, we saw their pictures way before getting to hear the music. I was too young to be aware of all the Buddy Holly similarities they shared, so to me, they were completely original. I vividly remember seeing the sleeve to 'I'm Gonna Love You Too' in a local shop and being instantly smitten. Bleach blond, all four – this was even more radical than The Pretty Things, who had the longest hair yet. Hullaballoos' drummer Harry rivaled any member of The Pretty Things to date, not only in hair length but color too, hence out doing them in my book. My parents were aghast to find I planned to bleach my hair as well. It never happened – not yet that is.
Despite endless stories of infamous thievery directed toward Roulette Records, they did get their singles distributed and heard. 'I'm Gonna Love You Too' got played a bunch initially.
The followup, 'Did You Ever' was played slightly less, but performed more than any other song on US television.
Unfortunately, 'Learning The Game', my favorite of the four, was not played at all in my hometown. The single made it to the Bubbling Under Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #121 during a short two week run, so some play obviously was achieved. Once I got my copy, I cherished it all the more.
The very hard to get fourth single and sleeve, 'I Won't Turn Away Now' is classic British beat. Little Steven played The Hullaballoos recently. I was in the car and thought, justice after all these years. God bless Sirius.
I launched into being a fan, but later in the conversation he revealed his initial hesitation. Turns out he was still getting calls from creditors wanting payment for hotels, vehicles and other expenses obligated some 20 years prior by Roulette on behalf of The Hullaballoos.
Did this band get what they deserved in any way. No. In fact, their youtube footage recently had the audio removed, apparently by the song publishers. Come on, cut these guys a break.
And I'm still miffed at not seeing the shows they shared with The Zombies and The Nashville Teens back in '65 at the Brooklyn Paramount.
I'm a sucker for an atonal vocalist. So The Only Ones' Peter Perrett is right up my alley. These two singles are by far my favorites from the boys. Never did get to see them, some arrest nonsense cut their US tour short, the one whereby they were playing my town. Hence not much to say about them, except I still love these records. Oh, hold on, the sleeve pictured for 'Trouble In The World' was sent along, at the time, by Howard Thompson. He A&R'd the band, by assignment as opposed to choice. He doesn't reflect fondly on it all. Whether by coincidence or design, 'Trouble In The World' echoes Mott The Hoople, with it's Sue & Sunny background female vocals. Seems like an HT influence to me.
For reasons unknown, the sleeve was scrapped allowing or forcing the record to be issued in a stock CBS bag. The label was quite good at making pitiful judgement calls when it came to picture sleeves. Unlike in the US, picture sleeves were quite uncommon in England until punk. So what did CBS do? They released a bunch of punk singles without them. Although the corporate waste exponentially accelerated by the time I was employed by Columbia in 1995, it seems seeds were planted decades before. Hey, let's actually manufacture the sleeves then destroy them, why cancel it in the pre-production phase? Kill another tree. No problem.
But the records speak for themselves. Great stuff. And although spelled differently, you have to admit Peter Perrett was pretty hip to choose, for his surname, that of the great US label, Parrot, which included Them, The Zombies, Los Bravos, Lulu & The Luvvers and Pinkerton's Assorted Colours amongst it's roster.

Q: Print .ascii declaration using Lodsb or just mov I'm writing this bootloader that just prints out some stuff on the screen. This is what I have so far in assembly:
    .globl _start

    .code16

_start:

    movw $0x0003, %ax
    int $0x10

    movb $0x0e, %ah
    movb $0x69, %al
    int $0x10

    movw $_header, %bx
    movb %bl, %al
    int $0x10

_header: .ascii "W\0"

    .org 0x1FE

    .byte 0x55
    .byte 0xAA

So right now it prints ASCII 69 ("i"), but I want it to print the .ascii declaration as well.  Right now I only have it set to "W" so I could find it easily in Objdump. I can't seem to get access to that value (57). I can leal $_header, %edx and such, but then I can't seem to access the value at %edx.
I tried using lodsb, but I can't seem to figure it out. I set %di to 0x00, and set %si to the address of _header with leal %si, _header but then my lodsb followed by int 0x10 doesn't seem to print anything. Any ideas I'd appreciate.

A: Here:
movw $_header, %bx
movb %bl, %al

First, movb %bl, %al isn't reading a byte from memory into al, it's reading a byte from bl. You want to change it to:
movb (%bx), %al

To get just one character out of _header you could load that character from the memory into al directly:
movb _header, %al

Secondly, and most importantly, it appears that you're making several assumptions:

*

*that your code starts running with cs=0x7c0, ip=0. It can be cs=0, ip=0x7c00 instead, but your code is expecting ip=0 (I infer from the code that the assembler starts assembling it with the implicit .org 0). You should make your code resilient to this second option. You can reload cs and ip to more suitable values with a jump instruction, something like this: jmp $0x7c0,$_next and the corresponding label on the next line: _next:.

*that your code starts running with ds=0x7c0. ds isn't guaranteed to be set to any value you may want or need. You have to initialize it yourself.

Finally, what happens after the last int $0x10?
With the corrections your code should look something like this:
    .globl _start

    .code16

_start:
    /* .org 0 is implied here! But the code may start with ip != 0. */

    jmp $0x7c0,$_next
_next:
    /* We have just ensured that cs=0x7c0,ip=$_next */

    /* Let's now load data segment registers with proper values */
    movw %cs, %ax
    movw %ax, %ds
    movw %ax, %es

    movw $0x0003, %ax
    int $0x10

    movb $0x0e, %ah
    movb $0x69, %al
    int $0x10

    movw $_header, %bx
    movb (%bx), %al /* read into al a byte from memory at address from bx */
    int $0x10

    /* Halt execution, don't just execute whatever garbage is in memory */
    /*after the end of the code. */
_halt:
    hlt
    jmp _halt

_header: .ascii "W\0"

    .org 0x1FE

    .byte 0x55
    .byte 0xAA

Gun control advocates stood among city officials and police in Bridgeport, Connecticut this week as a measure banning guns homemade firearms was signed.
In a move advocated by Mayor Joseph Ganim as far back as March, lawmakers in the state's largest city passed ordinance 155-17 last month to regulate "ghost guns," defined as home-built firearms without serial numbers.
Perez said his agency has recovered at least seven such guns this year. The ordinance allows Perez to "seize, remove and destroy any and all such weapons" inside his jurisdiction, said Ganim, joined by state Rep. Steve Stafstrom and Connecticut Against Gun Violence members at the legislation's signing.

Club Notes 4th November 2021
Tue 02, November, 2021
UNDER 21 HURLERS: The U-21 hurlers produced an impressive performance to beat Ahane in their first match of the Premier Championship. The opening five minutes were scoreless as both teams neutralised each other. When Patrickswell settled into their stride, they were rewarded with five unanswered points in six minutes from Jason Gillane (0-3), Calvin Carroll and John Kirby. Ahane's first point was immediately cancelled out by Josh Carey within a minute; however they added another two points before the water break. At that stage, the scoreline was 0-6 to 0-3 in Patrickswell's favour. After the restart, Jason Gillane's point created a four-point lead but Ahane claimed another point to stay in contention. In the 27th minute, Calvin Carroll notched a fine individual goal to put Patrickswell in the ascendency. Two minutes later, Josh Considine contributed another point before Ahane closed the first half with a point. The half-time score was 1-8 to 0-5 to the 'Well.
The second half began with another Jason Gillane free, but Ahane rallied with a pair of frees in reply. Our opponents had moved within five points, although Jason Gillane closed the door with another pair of frees. Three minutes later, Josh Carey hit the back of the net to establish a ten-point lead of 2-11 to 0-7. Ahane stayed in contention with two quick points just before the water break to reduce the arrears to 2-11 to 0-9. The final quarter of the match was ruthless from Patrickswell. Jason Gillane scored the third goal in the 50th minute and John Kirby raised the green flag once again in the 53rd minute. Jason Gillane's further point cemented a fifteen-point lead of 4-12 to 0-9. Ahane's tenth point was supressed by a trio of points in two minutes from Calvin Carroll and Jason Gillane (0-2). At the end of normal time, the 'Well were 4-15 to 0-10 ahead. In stoppage time, Ahane accrued two points but Gavin Carey bagged a fifth goal in a 5-15 to 0-12 triumph.

Cerebral white matter undergoes a rapid and complex maturation during the early postnatal period. Prior magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of early postnatal development have often been limited by small sample size, single-modality imaging, and univariate analytics. Here, we applied nonnegative matrix factorization, an unsupervised multivariate pattern analysis technique, to T2w/T1w signal ratio maps from the Developing Human Connectome Project (n = 342 newborns) revealing patterns of coordinated white matter maturation. These patterns showed divergent age-related maturational trajectories, which were replicated in another independent cohort (n = 239). Furthermore, we showed that T2w/T1w signal variations in these maturational patterns are explained by differential contributions of white matter microstructural indices derived from diffusion-weighted MRI. Finally, we demonstrated how white matter maturation patterns relate to distinct histological features by comparing our findings with postmortem late fetal/early postnatal brain tissue staining. Together, these results delineate concise and effective representation of early postnatal white matter reorganization.

N2 - Cerebral white matter undergoes a rapid and complex maturation during the early postnatal period. Prior magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of early postnatal development have often been limited by small sample size, single-modality imaging, and univariate analytics. Here, we applied nonnegative matrix factorization, an unsupervised multivariate pattern analysis technique, to T2w/T1w signal ratio maps from the Developing Human Connectome Project (n = 342 newborns) revealing patterns of coordinated white matter maturation. These patterns showed divergent age-related maturational trajectories, which were replicated in another independent cohort (n = 239). Furthermore, we showed that T2w/T1w signal variations in these maturational patterns are explained by differential contributions of white matter microstructural indices derived from diffusion-weighted MRI. Finally, we demonstrated how white matter maturation patterns relate to distinct histological features by comparing our findings with postmortem late fetal/early postnatal brain tissue staining. Together, these results delineate concise and effective representation of early postnatal white matter reorganization.

The histogram on your camera can give you some valuable exposure information, including whether color information is being clipped.
- [Deke] In this chapter, we're going to take a look at a few elements of wide angle exposure, starting with the in-camera histograms. So this is those histograms that you see on your LCD screen, on the back of your camera. And they're basically yet another way of viewing your image, because if all you rely on is the image preview, then you're going to get a distorted idea of what your photograph really looks like. All right, so, for those of you who are unfamiliar with histograms, they're column graphs, that is to say, vertical bar graphs, of the distribution of tones, from black on the left and white on the right.
So, here we're seeing the straight-ahead luminance histogram, and, again, black is on the far left, white is on the far right, and so, in this case, we're seeing a lot of dark colors, and they're tapering off when we get into the brighter colors. But, in addition to the luminance graph, we also have the independent red, green, and blue histograms, because, after all, your camera sees the world in terms of red, green, and blue light. And just so you fully appreciate what's going on here, tones are specific luminance values measured from black, again, over here on the left, to white, over on the right.
So, it's a kind of gradient. And, incidentally, just so we're defining our terms, the shadows are the darkest colors, the highlights are the brightest ones, and then, the midtones are the colors in between. And your camera captures these tones on a red, green, and blue basis. So here, we're seeing the red tonal range, from black to bright red. Next, we have the green tonal range, from black to bright green. Very bright green, as you can see. And then we have the blue tonal range, from black to a deep blue.
And so, Hergen, tell us how the histogram is going to help us out. - [Hergen] Okay, Deke, so we're going to use that histogram to help us achieve proper exposure. As Deke mentioned, if you're just relying on that review image to judge your exposure, you're getting the wrong picture. What it's showing you is an idealized, processed version of your photo. It's not actually showing you the raw image. And many of you have probably already experienced this, where the image looked great in the back of your camera, you pulled it into light room, and it looks like somebody turned the dial way down on every single aspect of it.
And that's because the camera's processing the image and showing you a processed result. So the histogram is a tool that we can use to get proper exposure. And what we mean by proper exposure is the full tonal range in the image captured. So, here again, we have that RGB histogram. So this is showing us the full tonal range of the red channel, the green channel, and the blue channel in our image. So, as Deke explained with the tonal range scale in the previous slide, you can see the dark red tones on the left, over to the bright red tones on the right, and the same within the green, and the same within the blue.
And in this particular set of histograms, you can see we have values all the way across each histogram. This means that we have captured the full tonal range of the image. Now, some of you may associate the shape of the histogram representing something to do with the exposure of the image, but it's actually not. What we can tell from the histogram in this image is that it's going to have a bright foreground with a dark background. The reason being, the majority of our tones are over on the left edge of the histogram. So we're in the shadows and the darker regions.
Now, we do have bright highlights. We just don't have a whole lot of them. But, again, it is critical, the histogram is a graph. It is not a map. We're not saying that all the bright stuff is on the right side of the photo and the dark stuff is on the left side of the photo. That's not what we're saying. We're saying that the distribution of the image is such that there are more darker tones than there are brighter tones in this image. - [Deke] Which is just fine, by the way. We don't need to have bell curves for our histogram, or any sort of item like that, nor is it important that you have more midtones than highlights, or more highlights than shadows.
It depends entirely on the photograph that you're trying to create. - [Hergen] As you'll see in the next few movies, we're going to tie some of these individual channels to elements of our exposure, so that you can use these channels to help adjust certain elements of your exposure. - [Deke] All right, now let's talk about color clipping, at least where highlights are concerned. - [Hergen] So, when a single channel becomes overexposed, that means the affected pixels are going to become infused with pure color. So if you remember back to the chart Deke showed us in the beginning, goes from black on one side to a very bright, pure color on the other.
- [Deke] And so here we are looking at the luminance channel, and because we have clipping on that far right side, that might lead you to believe that we have absolute clipping. But that's actually not the case. - [Hergen] As you can see here in the red channel, we do have some red clipping. That means that there is a pixel or pixels somewhere in the image that have gone pure red. In other words, they have no real tonal differentiation anymore in the red channel. We also have that in the green channel, but to a much lesser degree, and in the blue channel, you can see we've actually got quite a bit of clipping.
But this does not mean that all three of these are happening in the same pixel. So we need to be careful in deciding that because we have clipping in the red, green, or blue channel, that we actually have something that has gone pure white in the image itself. - [Deke] Now, this is a problem, by the way, but it's not nearly as big of a problem as our next two examples. For example, here, we've got straight-ahead highlight clipping. And so that means when all channels are overexposed, the affected pixels become absolute white.
So now we have a pretty dangerous-looking composite histogram right here, but we'll know even more when we take a look at the independent histograms for the red, green, and blue channels. - [Hergen] So with these red, green, and blue channels, we can see we have extreme clipping in all three channels. Which means, more than likely, that's going to be occurring at the same pixel, which is going to give us blown highlights. In other words, some part of the image has become pure white. - [Deke] Any anytime when we have blown highlights, we have ultimately unrecoverable detail, which is never something you want.
Now, the opposite of highlight clipping is shadow clipping. And so, when all channels are underexposed, the affected pixels become black. So, again, we have a pretty dangerous-looking luminance-only histogram here, with a whole bunch of stuff over on the far left side of the graph, but we're most concerned with those vertical bars that are on the very far left side. And, again, to really see what's going on, we have to look at the histograms for the red, green, and blue channels, and because every one of those histograms is smashed up against the left side, that means we are clipping to absolute black.
And I will stress, as Hergen mentioned, just because we're seeing everything over on the left-hand side doesn't mean the same pixels are being affected. You could have some pixels that are not clipping in the blue channel, but are clipping in red and green. The fact of the matter is, however, in 90% of the cases, these histograms are going to overlap, and so you are going to get black. And in this case, we're going to see a ton of black, which is never a good thing. - [Hergen] So let's talk about some histogram takeaways.
So, just to mention again, even these RGB histograms that we're looking at are not a silver bullet, nor is the luminance histogram. Because these are also based off of a JPEG, not of the raw information. But this is sort of the best tool available to us to get as close as possible to good exposure. But nothing is going to tell us whether we've really managed to get it spot-on. So these are just tools that you can use to get yourself as close to perfect exposure as possible, but you have to understand the limitations of each method.
- [Deke] But I do want to insert that if you're not seeing any clipping on your red, green, and blue histograms, then your raw image will not be clipping either. So, in many ways, these histograms are worst-case scenarios. - [Hergen] So, again, we want to be using this histogram, especially the RGB portion of the histogram, to capture as much tonal range as possible from each channel. The other thing we want to be doing is we want to be exposing those channels to the right. That means we want to be moving that histogram towards the right, but not touching the edge.
'Cause, remember, if we touch the edge, we're clipping. Another takeaway from this is pay attention in the moment, because adjusting exposure in post introduces false tonal data. That's why it's called posterization. That's what happens after the fact. - [Deke] And that's because, what you're doing in post is you're taking the original tones, and you're mapping them on top of each other, and that's where the term posterization comes from. I will stress, however, as a person who loves post, that some degree of post-processing will have to occur.
- [Hergen] The actual shape of the RGB histogram, as Deke touched on earlier, only really speaks to the distribution of tones. It does not represent the overall exposure. And it's going to change wildly based on whatever it is you're taking a photo of. - [Deke] And so that's our look at the first element of wide angle exposure, the in-camera luminance-only and RGB histograms.

Q: How to merge tables in PostgreSQL? I want to merge two tables from different schemas in the same PostgreSQL database but I could not get a query to work.
The two tables have lots of columns and samples, I want to select A and B from table 1, and I want to select C, D, E from table 2, where B and C items are exactly the same thing but numbers contained are not totally the same. Thus I want to merge and get A (B/C) D E.
I tried to use UNION but I got an error:
[42601]: ERROR: each UNION query must have the same number of columns.

And when I used LEFT JOIN it shows mistake around '.'.
In the last try my code looked like:
select A from table1 left join
table2.D, table2.E using B=C

A: You can use this kind of query:
Table
create table table1 (
    A text,
    B int
);
insert into table1 values ('test-a', 123);

create table table2 (
    C int,
    D text,
    E text
);
insert into table2 values (3456, 'test-d', 'test-e');

Query
select A::text, B::text as BC, '' as D, '' as E from table1
union all
select '' as A, C::text as BC, D::text, E::text from table2

Result
a       bc   d      e
test-a  123
3456         test-d test-e

That'll take all records from table1 (columns A, B, dummy column D and dummy column E) and add to it records from table2 (dummy column A, column C, D and E)
Example: https://rextester.com/NWSEP53051
If you are using SQLite
Tables
create table table1 (A, B);
insert into table1 values ('test-a', 123);

create table table2 (C, D, E);
insert into table2 values (3456, 'test-d', 'test-e');

Query
select A, B as BC, '' as D, '' as E from table1
union all
select '' as A, C as BC, D, E from table2

Result
| A      | BC   | D      | E      |
| ------ | ---- | ------ | ------ |
| test-a | 123  |        |        |
|        | 3456 | test-d | test-e |

Example: https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/rE1MeJQpjGH4FZVwWmTpEX/0

A: You can implement merge using a temporary table

*lock table test_tbl in exclusive mode;

*data delete

Insomnia and Magnesium deficiency; Is there a link?
Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, occurring in 30 – 45% of adults. It is 1.5 times more likely to occur in women than in men.
Low magnesium levels in the body can cause a number of health issues like chronic pain, fatigue and muscle cramps. Magnesium deficiency has been identified as being one of the reasons behind one of the most common problems affecting most people; lack of proper sleep. Research suggests that up to 33% of the Australian population has difficulty sleeping. Most people are not aware that people who suffer from insomnia are magnesium deficient (1).
What is the link between sleeping and magnesium?
There have been several researches that have been done that examine the link between magnesium and sleeping. These researches indicated that people that suffered insomnia who took magnesium supplements (oral magnesium tablets or the magnesium topical spray) noticed a better quality of sleep (better sleep quality rather than longer sleeping time) improved over time (1).
- Magnesium helps with the production of the hormone melatonin which aids in sleeping (2).
- People who has restless leg syndrome often suffer regular leg pain and often have trouble sleeping. Restless leg syndrome is a neurological condition in which a person has an uncomfortable sensation of needing to move his or her legs. At most times this type of condition can often lead to insomnia. When a person has a restless legs syndrome their symptoms generally becomes worst in afternoon when; during periods of inactivity, and in the transition from wake to sleep, which means that falling asleep and staying asleep can be difficult. Approximately 10 percent of the population has the general population suffers restless legs syndrome (3). Magnesium deficiency has been linked with Restless leg syndrome. (3).
- Magnesium plays a role in decreasing the level of cortisol in our body; cortisol is also known as "stress hormone" - high level of cortisol are found with people who are depressed and suffers high levels of anxiety (2). Decreased cortisol level in the body can help minimize anxiety.
- Magnesium is also can be used as a natural relaxants for the body - magnesium oil can be applied all over the body prior to sleeping this can help relax the body and assist with sleeping.
Magnesium deficiency in your body can be be corrected by taking Topical magnesium spray (also known as magnesium chloride spray). Magnesium topical spray (sprayed through the skin) is the most effective way for the body to absorb magnesium. When taking oral magnesium supplements; only 10% of magnesium supplements ingested orally is absorbed by the body. Taking an oral magnesium supplements in large quantity can lead to diarrhea in some individuals, taking magnesium oil is a safer options as side effects are less (4). Magnesium topical use can easily penetrate deeper into the skin.
* Rubbing a few drops of magnesium oil on the forehead, chest or limbs. Let the oil absorb and soak the skin while you sleep.
* Alternatively, 1 scoop of magnesium flake (also called Magnesium chloride flakes) in warm water and then soaking the whole body in a bath will relax the whole body and will help you sleep.
* Apply the magnesium oil by spraying it throughout the body and massage it gently prior to sleeping is another way of applying it (5).

An LTD is........it just is.
I spoke with Paul at C5, and he said to get power directly from the battery with a fuse. He said the main problem with our bikes was voltage spikes from the voltage regulator which tends to burn out the module. They make a dc to dc converter that cleans up the volts from the regulator. I still haven't received mine yet, but we will soon see!!
