DANNY MURPHY: We are breeding a generation of snowflake players
DANNY MURPHY: Eric Dier should NOT have confronted abusive Tottenham fan… we are breeding a generation of snowflake players
Eric Dier should have known better than to confront an abusive supporter
It is part of a footballer's job to ignore those fans who dish out verbal criticism
Top players refuse to stoop to their level and work hard to prove them wrong
As a footballer, I heard a lot of things from fans they shouldn't be shouting. I caught a lot of stuff about my mum, my wife, my kids. But you still don't go into the crowd, full stop.
Like Eric Dier, I was in the privileged position of representing a wonderful club in Tottenham and though it might sound harsh to non-players, if you aren't capable of listening to verbals at that level, you need to have a chat with yourself.
I should stress at this point I'm not talking about racist or homophobic comments because, besides being totally unacceptable, both of those pose a wider threat to society compared to something personal.
Eric Dier should not have confronted a fan after Tottenham's FA Cup defeat by Norwich
My mum didn't come to see me play because she heard someone have a go at me. It was a personal choice and I didn't try to dissuade her. We have to be careful not to kill the freedom of fans to pay their money and verbally criticise if they feel the need.
Hopefully, if there is foul or abusive language, the family will have someone within their group to tell them to pipe down.
I'm not saying fans should have free rein to abuse but I don't think it is a player's job to act as a policeman and intervene when they could make things worse.
As a footballer you have to learn to take the rough with the smooth and keep moving forwards
I never had a team-mate march into the stands like Dier but Jamie Carragher did once throw a coin back into the crowd against Arsenal.
Of course, it was totally wrong for someone to throw an object on to the pitch but I think even Jamie would agree now that responding like that, and potentially injuring an innocent party himself, wouldn't have helped. Two wrongs don't make a right.
I'm not aware of the specifics of what caused Dier to get into his confrontation after the Norwich game but it didn't look as if his brother was a 12-year-old kid being set about by a group of thugs.
I suspect there was a lot of ill-feeling going around the stadium after being knocked out of the FA Cup. His brother, who is not a child, had a dig back at a critical supporter, and something inside Eric snapped.
I was booed off the pitch once for Liverpool, but I bounced back and scored at Man United
My attitude was shout what you want, I will turn you around with my performances. I was booed off the pitch once for Liverpool, the club I loved but didn't moan, even though I was devastated. I took it on the chin and scored against Manchester United the following week.
I'm sorry, I just don't get Eric going up there like a loose cannon. I don't believe players should take it upon themselves to have a ding-dong with fans. If your family go to a game, and aren't in a private box, make sure there is someone within the party to look after the situation. It's not that difficult.
There is a belief fans' behaviour is worse than ever. I don't think so — the same issues have always been there. If supporters go to the match as a break from the other difficulties of life, they do view it as a place where they can vent frustrations. As a footballer, get on with the game, do your job.
And let me make it crystal-clear again, I am not talking about the issue of racial abuse.
Granit Xhaka is another player who should've remained professional when fans turned on him
I speak as someone who heard horrible things. It stopped my mum going. But it's my belief players have to be a little more resolute in dealing with the downsides of football.
I'm thinking of Bournemouth's Dan Gosling complaining about referee Jon Moss because he felt he'd made sarcastic and disrespectful comments during the game. I'm thinking of Granit Xhaka who cupped his ear and mouthed a swearword to the crowd when they booed him. Now Eric has got involved with fans because his brother didn't like what they were saying.
If snowflake means being over-sensitive to offence, this generation of footballers is in danger of falling into the category.

The particuliere landerijen or particuliere landen (Dutch for 'private domains'; singular particuliere landerij or particuliere land), also called tanah partikelir in Indonesian, were landed domains in a feudal system of land tenure used in parts of the Java). Dutch jurists described these domains as 'sovereign' and of comparable legal status to indirectly-ruled Vorstenlanden [princely states] in the Indies subject to the Dutch Crown. The lord of such a domain was called a Landheer [Dutch for 'landlord'], and by law possessed landsheerlijke rechten or hak-hak ketuanan [seigniorial jurisdiction] over the inhabitants of his domain — jurisdiction exercised elsewhere by the central government.

History
The Dutch East India Company, which claimed to have succeeded to the rights of the ancient kings of Java, created and sold the earliest particuliere landen for the Company's high-ranking officials, compradors and allies between the 1620s and its bankruptcy in 1799. Herman Willem Daendels, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies during the Napoleonic interregnum from 1808 to 1811, and his British successor from 1811 until 1816, Sir Stamford Raffles, oversaw a large-scale sale of government land as particuliere landen. The creation of these domains ceased in 1829. The bulk of these particuliere landerijen were located around the colonial capital of Batavia (today known as Jakarta), in the Ommelanden of the old Residency of Batavia [Indonesian: Karesidenan Betawi], in West Java, and to a lesser extent in other parts of Java and the 'outer islands'. Like the princely states, the particuliere landerijen were not directly controlled by the colonial government, and so were not subjected to the notorious Cultivation System, introduced by Governor-General Johannes van den Bosch in 1830.

By 1901, there existed 304 particuliere landerijen, of which 101 were European-owned, with the rest being primarily under Chinese ownership, almost exclusively by the 'Cabang Atas' gentry.
Around 800,000 peasants lived on these domains, and were subject to the rule of the Landheeren instead of the colonial government. The particuliere landerijen were known for supposed abuses of power by the Landheeren. A series of government ordinances were issued by the Dutch colonial government to better regulate the running of these private domains: Staatsblad 1836 No. 19 and Staatsblad 1912, No. 422.

In keeping with the 'Ethical' policy of the early twentieth century, the Dutch colonial government devised an ambitious plan to repurchase the particuliere landen from their owners. The motivation was to place the inhabitants of the domains on the same legal footing as other subjects of the Dutch colonial empire. The government's programme of land reacquisition began in 1912, but halted during the Great Depression (1929-1939). In 1935, the government founded NV Javasche Particuliere Landerijen Maatschappij ['Java Private Domains Company'], which was tasked with the acquisition of the particuliere landerijen on the open market.

Although land reforms continued, the particuliere landerijen – though much-reduced in numbers and in legal powers – survived the Japanese occupation during WW II (1942-1945) and the Indonesian revolution (1945-1949). In 1958, the Republic of Indonesia issued Undang-undang No. 1/1958, which formally abolished all remaining particuliere landerijen.

Administration and structure
A particuliere landerij was divided into, firstly, tanah kongsi [seigniorial land] or the demesne of the Landheer, which was land retained by him for his own use; and secondly, tanah usaha, which consisted of dependent or enfeoffed holdings, held by the Landheer's tenant farmers. In addition, there was also forest land which could not be claimed or worked on without the permission of the Landheer. The residence of the Landheer was called a Landhuis or a rumah kongsi [seigniorial house]. In this context, 'Kongsi' meant 'Lord' or 'his Lordship', and was a title used by the Chinese Landheeren, who were invariably scions of the Cabang Atas gentry.

Government bureaucracy in the particuliere landen was nominated and remunerated not by the central government, but by the Landheeren themselves. An administrateur was appointed to oversee the management of the Landheer's tanah kongsi. As the highest authority in his domain, the Landheer appointed the district heads or Camat in his domain, other bureaucrats as he saw fit and, at the lowest level, village heads who – specifically in these particuliere landerijen – went by the title of Mandor. Minor crimes on the particuliere landen were adjudicated and punished by courts set up by the Landheer. The Landheer was also responsible for the provision of education, health and other social services and public infrastructures for the inhabitants of the domain.

As part of his landsheerlijke rechten, the Landheer was entitled to certain dues from his subjects, including tjoekee or contingent, which consisted of 20% of the harvest from dependent holdings worked on by his tenant farmers. The Landheer also collected padjeg, which was his predetermined share of his tenant farmers' harvest, fixed for a certain period of time. The collection of all these dues was overseen by officials called Potia, who were assisted by deputies called Komitier.

Also part of his landsheerlijke rechten was the Landheer's right to impose kompenian or corvee labour on his subjects, amounting to sixty days of unpaid work each year from his tenant farmers at times determined by the Landheer or his bureaucrats. Kompenian labour included work on public infrastructures, such as roads or bridges on the domain, or work on the Landheer's own tanah kongsi. By Ommelanden custom, tenant farmers were only allowed to harvest their crops after receiving the Landheer's permission.

As of April 24, 2009, new rules are in place for orders placed by federal and subfederal agencies. The publication of the "Act to Modernize the Public Procurement Law" in the Federal Gazette marks the formal end to a debate on reform that had lasted for years.
The law's entry into force has entailed numerous changes. There is now a general obligation to subdivide lots even for private companies when they award subcontracts. Additionally, criteria "foreign to the award", such as environmental protection or equal rights of men and women, are now explicitly permissible for the awarding of a contract. The complaint obligations for bidders have also been tightened.
The law also intends to exempt public real estate sales from obligatory award procedures. The legislator thus reacts to the strict case-law application, in particular of Higher Regional Court [OLG] Düsseldorf.
"While this facilitation for public urban development project is welcome, it holds the risk of violating higher-ranking EU law," explains public procurement law expert Dr. Ute Jasper, Partner at the Düsseldorf office of law firm Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek. "Since even the ECJ is dealing with the case-law of OLG Düsseldorf, communities should continue to invite bids until the court's decision resolves the legal situation."
The amendment of the Procurement Code is soon to be followed by the reform of the lower-ranking legal provisions. The amendments to regulations VgV, VOB/A, VOLIA and VOF are supposed to enter into force by mid-2009.

Q: ponteiros C tratados em python #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <locale.h>

int main()
{
    setlocale(LC_ALL,"");

    int *x,valor,y;
    valor = 35;
    x = &valor;
    y = *x;

    printf("o endereço da variavel valor: %p\n", &valor);
    printf("endereço da variavel ponteiro x: %p\n", &x);
    printf("conteudo da variavel apontada por x: %d\n", x);
    printf("conteudo da variavel comum y: %d\n", y);
}

Eu desejo fazer esse código rodar dentro de um programa em python. Como faço?
Estou iniciando em python mas quero trabalhar com ponteiros mesclando as linguagens, pois até então não achei como fazer isso somente com python.

A: A grosso modo, dentro do modelo de dados padrão do Python, ponteiros podem ser encarados como uma analogia ao conceito de Identidade de Objetos, essa identidade é representa por um número inteiro e pode ser obtida por meio da função nativa id().
O conteúdo de objetos também podem ser recuperados através do seu identificador por meio do método cast() disponibilizado pela biblioteca padrão ctypes.
Veja só como o seu código poderia ser reescrito em Python:
import ctypes

# Valor
val = 35

# Recupera a identidade de "Valor"
x = id(val)

# A partir da identidade de "Valor"
# eh possivel recuperar o seu conteudo
y = ctypes.cast( x, ctypes.py_object ).value

print(val);
print(x);
print(y);

The regions of Zinder, Tahoua and Agadez are proposed for the implementation of the 3S project In Niger. Only 25% of the available land is productive in these areas. These regions are also areas of high out-migration and at the "crossroad" of irregular migration for all of West Africa.
Despite the ambition to restore 213,000 ha per year, the government's capacity to intervene is limited. In 2017, only 33,000 ha were rehabilitated. As part of the 3S Initiative, the government plans to reclaim 150,000 ha of land through dune fixation, invasive plant control and assisted natural regeneration (RNA). The number of jobs to be created through these activities is estimated at around 20,000 for the regions of Zinder and Tahoua, and 4,000 in Agadez.
The land to be rehabilitated includes pastoral land, silvicultural and agro-sylvo-pastoral land. These activities will not be directly related to job creation but are also vital to avoid conflict between farmers and ranchers. For those who wish to be part of the project and work in agriculture, the government plans to grant each beneficiary at least 0.5 ha of titled land.
Key vulnerable groups to the be targeted include: young unemployed rural people to limit the temptation to migrate irregularly or fall into delinquency and crime, returned migrants and displaced persons to support their socio-professional reintegration, and women.

Police state fears over terrorism laws
October 17, 2005 — 2.03am
Australia is moving towards a police state with harsh anti-terrorism laws that could be pushed through Parliament too quickly, the Law Council says.
Copies of the sweeping new laws, made available to the public by the ACT Government, have sparked concerns among legal experts.
The Government last week said it would introduce the laws to Parliament on October 31, but only allow the Senate one week to investigate them and report by November 8.
The Law Council of Australia said passing the proposed laws would push the nation closer to becoming a police state.
"We're moving down that path," council president John North told the Ten Network.
"The fact that the Government wanted to move these laws through Parliament with indecent haste and without letting us as a Law Council or other interested people have wide community consultation means that we're very concerned about them."
Under the bill, people who support insurgents can be jailed for up to seven years.
Australian Federal Police will also be able to carry out what are termed preventative detention orders, effectively locking up people thought to be involved or to have knowledge of a terrorist act.
Suspected terrorists who are detained by police will be able to ring loved ones but not tell them where they are, while judges can stop suspects from using the internet or telephones.
Mr North said he understood that people were frightened about terrorism, but civil liberties had to be protected.
"We understand that the people are scared, we understand that terrorism is the major, major issue, but we must not take away fundamental rights without asking our Government to assure us that we are going to be safe," he said.
The Law Council president said he was particularly concerned about shoot-to-kill provisions in the draft legislation, and the plan to allow children as young as 16 to be detained without charge for up to 14 days.
Mr North said he was worried about the reaction of the Government in the wake of the London bombings in July.
"Internationally it is really only lawyers who are trying to hold their governments to account at this stage," he said.
"We think the people will understand as soon as they start to see these laws misused and abused by our police and intelligence authorities."

Virtual Adventure
ASNR's reimagined meeting is an online global success
By The American Society of Neuroradiology
The American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) has a reputation for putting on impactful annual meetings. This year, the 2019–2020 ASNR annual meeting (#ASNR20) surpassed all expectations to become one of the most successful meetings in the society's history. Originally planned as an in-person meeting to be held in Las Vegas from May 30–June 4, the organization had to quickly pivot to a virtual version once the COVID-19 pandemic became a reality.
Bringing New Life to the Familiar
When Dr. Joshua Hirsch took on the role as program chair of #ASNR20, he thought its robust academic base could expand to include new vendor partners, untapped participant markets and a greater level of buzz on social media. ASNR Executive Director Mary Beth Hepp had recently hired Director of Education Erica Kruse and Meetings Director Lynn Brown. Hirsch points out that rather than seeing new hires as a challenge, it allowed the group to think creatively right from the outset. With board support, this team set out to reenergize the program and break a few records in the process. An operations group was quickly formed by a strong subset of volunteers and staff. "This working group had an amazing symbiosis. To accomplish our goals, we had to rethink the way we planned, organized and marketed the meeting and symposium," Hirsch states. "#ASNR20 added new tracks, deepened the scope of the event, created multiple new partner opportunities, and made a concerted effort to get the schedule and abstract topics out earlier to members, nonmembers and vendors — both nationally and internationally. We held nothing back."
Embracing New Ideas
An important charge of the newly formed operations committee was curating and finalizing a program much earlier than in the past. Kruse notes that there were "many obvious advantages to prioritizing the final schedule early on in the process. It allowed for speaker/moderator travel planning, the ability to advance market the program and the early filling of the room block." Further, the agenda highlighted the upgraded content of the meeting.
The group had added more continuing education and planned new networking opportunities for attendees, such as a reunion night. They also added several partner benefits including VIP get-togethers and innovation theater sessions. Other strategic changes addressed logistics such as menu planning, new badging, signage, staging and more.
Soon, it became clear that the meeting was going to break records for the society. As this was a new version of the event, very aggressive parameters had been set for many metrics including vendor partnership. Hepp says, "The response by industry sponsors was fantastic, with #ASNR20 positioned to be the highest sponsor-based, revenue-producing meeting in the society's history by a remarkably wide margin." Early registration suggested that more than 2,000 attendees would be present, closing in on a societal record set at its 50-year celebratory meeting.
Enter the Pandemic
"It was probably around February when we started to wonder about our ability to host an in-person meeting," Hirsch explains. "When COVID-19 first showed up in Wuhan, China, we realized participants from that region weren't going to be able to make the trip in numbers. Then the virus hit Europe, and it became obvious that European involvement was not going to be at the levels we had anticipated. Despite these realities, we still hoped that #ASNR20 could still be a live meeting. By March, however, it became apparent that the world had changed, and an in-person meeting in Vegas was going to be, at the very least, challenging."
The decision to make the meeting virtual was not made lightly. Other options existed, including pausing the conference this year and starting over again in 2021. ASNR took a different path. "We had put so much energy into creating the Vegas meeting that it was hard to walk away from it," Hirsch states. "As the biggest booster on the volunteer side, I felt like I had to be the first one to say the words out loud: We need to once again reimagine #ASNR20 and go virtual." Moving forward would require intense teamwork and support across the board, with everyone figuring out the various logistics involved, including contract legalities, policies, technology, marketing, training — all under a time crunch.
Contract legalities: "Our first step was to call Caesar's Palace to figure out how to move forward in a way that didn't penalize the society or the hotel. Thanks to the good relationship that Lynn Brown had developed with her contact at Caesar's, she was able to renegotiate the details of the contract in a way that all parties were satisfied and that received full support of our board," Hirsch explains. Adds Brown, "I think that dealing one-on-one with our contact and having calm conversations on how we are all in this together helped us find a win-win for both the hotel and for the society."
Policies: The board agreed from the onset that ASNR would operate utilizing the "good will" principle. Anyone who wanted a refund — registrants or vendors — would be given 100% of their money back. Registrants were given several options, including the ability to roll over their fee for next year's live meeting. Vendors were offered a free virtual booth at #ASNR20 if they applied their current fees to an in-person booth next year. If a vendor wanted a refund, they could buy a virtual booth this year for $1,000.
Technology: Hirsch says, "ASNR has been thinking about adding virtual components to its offerings for some time now. Today's technology enables options that would not have been possible before: You could have wanted to do a virtual meeting 10 years ago, but the tools weren't there. The sledgehammer of a global pandemic has helped us to overcome technological trepidations to open up other opportunities."
An ASNR virtual event session
A key component to being able to shift the meeting from in-person to virtual was finding the right technological engine to host the event. "I think our ability to maneuver so quickly was due to the fact that Kruse jumped in and set up appointments with several different companies to try out their platforms before it became obvious that we were headed in this direction," Hepp says. They chose vConferenceOnline to customize their event. "We wanted to have all of our options vetted and ready to go once we made a decision. This legwork put us ahead of other associations who were also moving to a virtual meeting as we were able to be put on the build schedule for platforms before the companies were all booked up," she says. The organization streamlined the amount of content and turned the abstracts into e-posters — increasing the number from 400 entries to 1,000.
Marketing: "Our next step was to get the word out to all meeting stakeholders," Kruse explains. "We already had a communication system in place for all of our COVID-19 messaging. We used vehicles such as email, Twitter, Facebook and our website to educate registrants, speakers, vendors and the like on moving virtual. We sought creative partnerships with other societies in the radiology and neuroradiology space. We wound up increasing registration — particularly internationally — to over 4,400 participants. Our nonmember attendance soared to 45% of the total." The team credits ease of access as the primary driver, together with setting the right price point and managing the content so that it was plentiful without being overwhelming. The hashtag "#ASNR" saw more than 15 million impressions, confirming that the marketing was successful.
Sponsor realignment: "You have to reset your expectations on what is appropriate for a sponsorship. For example, one of our sponsorships involved a company distributing the Wi-Fi password in Vegas, so things like that needed to be updated," Hepp explains.
Training: A great deal of time and training went into helping speakers learn the technology needed to give their presentations: recording the speech, uploading it onto the platform, using slides to enhance the lecture and being able to handle questions/answers during the session. Recording lectures is not as easy as getting on a Zoom chat. Be prepared to work with speakers and their varying technology levels. In addition, participants needed to be able to interact with the conference platform in order to view the presentations and navigate the meeting to meet their individual needs. Fortunately, ASNR had a 95% retention rate for their bench of speakers.
Teamwork is the foundation. You must have a tight working relationship between volunteer leadership and association staff. Without that trust and transparency, an organization may not be agile enough to face this type of challenge.
Flexibility is key. Moving this meeting online was new to everyone. "We were all figuring out things together in this new world — staff, vendors, speakers," Hirsch says. "We had to have patience and work to find mutually workable solutions."
Follow-up is important. Hepp notes that one of the most important aspects of this meeting is the "after market." Available for download, participants can view the content that was most important to them for 90 days post-event. In addition, individuals who were not able to attend can purchase access to the content. "We found that one-third of participants joined us in real time, one-third will be watching on demand, and the last third pursued a hybrid of IRL and on-demand," Hepp notes.
Hirsch, Hepp, Brown and Kruse all agree that the dynamics of this year, their ability to embrace uncertainty and the extremely successful pivot to a virtual meeting have changed the organization fundamentally. Hirsch, now ASNR president, states, "While this virtual adventure came about for unfortunate reasons, distance learning is something ASNR will embrace. I believe #ASNR20 proved to be inspirational, fostering connections and providing breakthrough learning."

Achieving 'Zero Harm'
Healthcare associations can leverage their vital role to increase patient safety


All groups of animals must have access to fresh, clean, potable water in their home pen.
Ponds, creeks, and other natural water sources will be acceptable if it is clear the water source is not temporary.
The 'clean water sheet' must be easily read while submerged 6-10 inches below the water surface in 3 separate locations in the waterer.
If you were assessing this for cleanliness, the Score Card needs to be easily read in 3 distinct locations.
Since the Score Card could only be read in 2/3 locations, this trough would not pass for cleanliness.
These examples show poor access to water.


In 2009, we initiated a program funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to increase workforce capacity for the geological carbon storage industry. One of our completed deliverables is the development and utilization of inquiry-based geological carbon storage teaching materials, specifically a classroom design module entitled CO2 Injection for Geological Storage (Olson et al., 2013). Here, we discuss the application of this module in educating and training petroleum engineering undergraduate and graduate students, to make them more aware of the geological aspects of designing a geological carbon storage project.
Students are asked to design a local storage project for an actual coal-fired power plant, the Fayette Power Project. The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) relies heavily on the Fayette Power Project to offer electricity for Central Texas consumers. The facility is located on a 10-square-mile site seven miles east of La Grange, Texas.
Students are instructed to use a local geologic formation, the Wilcox, as the target injection formation. Wilcox core is available to integrate into the design project from the Mobil Lake Creek Unit No. 48 well, in nearby Montgomery County, archived at the Bureau of Economic Geology's Austin Core Research Center. As part of their work, students can use graphical core analysis and petrophysical data (Guevara and Grigsby, 1992) provided in the Bureau of Economic Geology's Geological Circular 92-L. Or, as we have done in several instances, students can increase their geological knowledge by interpreting the depositional environments as delta-front facies, delta-plain facies, or shelf/bay/prodelta mud-rich facies from the actual core, then select the best unit for storage.
Once the target is chosen, CO2 phase behavior is evaluated for target-depth temperature and pressure. Storage requirements and achievable injection rates are then calculated by students to assess the pore space requirements and surface land footprint for the storage project. Societal and environmental impact issues are also examined through demonstrations and calculations related to seal integrity and capillary trapping (Olson et al., 2013).

Translated by: Fr. Jesus Vasquez, CMF
Some time ago, in 1973, in the Claretian seminary of Segovia, a group of minor seminarians, guided by their formators, and after many days' work, were able to make a dream come true. They gathered in just one book what they thought was essential to get to know the Congregation of Claretian Missionaries. Time passed and, with the collaboration of many others, we can publish now this edition, revised and updated.
The idea of reediting the book is basically due to the acceptance and usefulness it is having in the seminaries of the Congregation and in the provincial centres of Youth Ministry, as well as the felt need among vocation promoters of such publication. We know it has also been translated into French, Japanese and Russian.
To those who may consider the book too elemental I would say that my intention is still to respect the original idea: To have in just one book the basic elements to know the fundamental aspects that no candidate to the Congregation should ignore. At the end of each chapter I have added a "basic bibliography" for the sake of those who wish to widen their information.
I hope this book is useful to all. I dedicate this simple work to the Blessed Martyrs of Barbastro who, with their writings and the testimony of their death, have given the Congregation an inexhaustible treasure of life and hope.

Solar Thermal Heating ---- DogStar Solar, Inc info@dogstarsolar.net: Can Solar Thermal Collectors heat water to a high-enough temperature?
Can Solar Thermal Collectors heat water to a high-enough temperature?
It all depends on the solar insolation (sunlight) for that day.The Evacuated tubes set at the proper angle, based on your needs, produce more heat as the sun angle lowers with the season. Basically, as the outside air temp rises, the panels produce less heat as the sun is at a higher angle. As seasonal temps get colder, the panels get hotter and produce more heat for your domestic hot water needs and house heating. The system would be designed to deliver a daily DHW storage tank temperature rise of 25-30 C/35-55 F. With most designs, this heat is stored in a tank, then with a heat exchanger, goes into your existing DHW tank and/or house heating such as baseboard or in-floor hydronics, hot tub or swimming pool.

Q: Use UUID in udev rules and mount usb drive on /media/$UUID I want to mount the usb drive in /media based on the UUID of the disk. How can I use the UUID of a usb drive in a udev rules file and what is a udev rule to mount the usb drive with the  UUID number as the folder name.
The blkid command outputs the UUID of a disk but only upon mounting.

A: Even though UUIDs are not directly accessible by udev, at least in Fedora and Ubuntu they are set as environment variables (ENV). You can read out all environment variables of a device by calling udevadm info /dev/sdc. E.g. for an NTFS on an external drive I get:
$ udevadm info /dev/sdc2
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/host7/target7:0:0/7:0:0:0/block/sdc/sdc2
N: sdc2
[…]
E: ID_FS_TYPE=ntfs
E: ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
E: ID_FS_UUID=4A6F2ABC1232FA37
[…]

Everything with an E: in front is set as an environment variable.
Matching against UUIDs
You can match against it with ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="4A6F2ABC1232FA37". As a first filter I match against KERNEL=="sd?2" to make sure I'm only handling block devices with the correct partition number. The complete rule would look like this:
KERNEL=="sd?2", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="4A6F2ABC1232FA37", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger --tag my-manual-usb-mount Mounting the device with UUID 4A6F2ABC1232FA37", RUN+="/usr/bin/mount [Your mount options here]"

The logger command is useful to assert that the rule is actually run. Next you should check that the rule does not contain any syntax errors with udevadm test /dev/sdc2. Your rules file should be listed in the output and no error message should appear next to it. Now you can trigger all rules for your device to check whether your rule works as planned: sudo udevadm trigger /dev/sdc2. If your rule matched you will find the custom log message in the system log (/var/log/syslog or via journalctl -b).
Edit: ali_m has pointed out that the environment variables are set by previous rules and thus only accessibly if your .rules file has a sufficiently high lexicographical ordering. Starting with "60" should be enough. Personally I start my rules with "zz" (if possible) to distinguish them from predefined rules in a glance.
Using UUIDs in the RUN command and elsewhere
Udev has a quite powerful variable and attribute substitution syntax. Specifically every occurrence of $env{ID_FS_UUID} will be replaced with the UUID of the drive. So to mount a device under /media/UUID you could use this rule:
KERNEL=="sd??", RUN+="/usr/bin/mkdir /media/$env{ID_FS_UUID}", RUN+="/usr/bin/mount $devpath /media/$env{ID_FS_UUID}"

You probably want to configure udisks instead, though, it is specialized for the problem space you want to solve. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/udisks#udisks2:_mount_to_.2Fmedia as a starting point.
My actual use case for mounting devices with udev instead of /etc/fstab or udisks is to mount zfs file systems which have some idiosyncrasies making them not quite fit the usual tools.

A: There's a rough solution come in my mind.
Set cooresponding fstab entry which IDed by UUID. And in udev rules, execute mount -a everytime there's a new sd* device added.


1. Expand to India (why pick China over India? India is expected to have the largest economy by 2035, beat the rush and avoid a communist government) Currently MMTC PAMP vault is tackling this market.
4. Actually allow direct bank to holding money transfer (how does Goldmoney personal still offer something Goldmoney holdings can't? who wants to wait 2 weeks and deal with a wire transfer fee?) If not possible then bring back goldmoney personal, how can i recommend this service currently to someone else?
6. Offer HISA (high interest savings) in the gold money accounts for those of us that want to hold fiat currencies and aren't just being inflated to death.
10. Give us an option to direct purchase goldmoney shares in our account? Offer a drip program or other?
11. Lastly if any of these items above are in the works, talk about it. Give us a chart with a rough timelines even if it says 2020 or 2023 for some features.
Feel free to offer a voting system on the next new feature to focus on and let us vote. We are all passionate about this company.
I have a bad feeling...seems like people are jumping ship. even the community board is filled with mene stuff and not GM core business. with that said i think the selling is way overdone. The company is trading at 0.8X book! crazy!
@billybeta it seems to me that in the bear market and recession that we seem to be entering, Goldmoney should prosper, where many of the other companies will struggle. I hope that phenomenon becomes apparent to investors and takes effect before some other unfortunate event that people have alluded to on this board. I have sold all of my other stock, even the stock for the company I work for, and have held onto the XAUMF, hoping that its fundamental business model will support it during a difficult economic times.
This is true and i agree. I havent sold a share and would never sell below book. Company needs catalysts. Things have been quiet on blockvault. We will see.
@Regulator Those are all great suggestions.
The Goldmoney company, if my understanding is correct, is really made up of more or less 4 pieces. The main part being the Goldmoney Holding account, 50/50 Schiff Gold, Mene (not sure what part is still owned by Goldmoney) and a little of Lend Borrow Trust. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Is the goldmoney holding account done being built?
If not, what is the Vision for the future?
Is the mission of the company to continue to build separate pieces or will there be more "synergies"?
I loved the idea of BitGold and I understand the shift to the Holding.
I love the idea of Mene and the delivery of Mene.
What's the vision, what's the dream, what's the goal?
There is a ton of potential here!
GoldMoney owns 38% of Mene, so discussions regarding Mene are important as it is related to GoldMoney.
We need to become popular in India immediately. Small businesses there are using Square/PayPal alone, growing without ever using a register.
Put Goldmoney on an iPad for businesses and allow them to digitize/spend liquid gold.
Can anyone speak to the regulatory challenges of this? Why aren't we there?
Maybe these concerns about trading in seconds and order limits will be met in Active Trader, which I think should be integrated seamlessly to the mobile app.
Yes, we need complete synergy with Menē and Menē should start accepting the "high-karatage Indian gold jewelry stock" like it accepts Menē returns to allow India and China to start funding their Active Trader accounts and use (growing) financial products like gold-backed notes and whatever else can be settled in gold.
I want to see whatever isn't restricted by regulations get done. Active Trader still hasn't materialized. Where's the beta?
Peter Schiff and Roy need to put more money behind the execution of these ideas and synergize.

NASA astronauts complete first ever all-female spacewalk
Sradha Meloot
Two NASA astronauts made history when they successfully completed the first All Woman Spacewalk.
The task of Christina Koch and Jessica Meir was to replace a failed power control unit of the International Space Station.
In a tweet, NASA said, "Today, history was made as @Astro_Jessica and @Astro_Christina successfully completed the first #AllWomanSpacewalk! For more than 7 hours, the duo worked in the vacuum of space to conduct @Space_Station maintenance."
As NASA astronauts completed the job with wrenches, screwdrivers and power-grip tools, it marked the first time in a half-century of spacewalking that men weren't part of the action.
Astronauts conducted the first all-female spacewalk at 7:38 a.m. ET on Friday.
Though astronauts and cosmonauts have done more than 200 spacewalks during the construction and maintenance of the International Space Station, only 15 women have ever been on a spacewalk, but always accompanied by men.
The space walk was originally scheduled to take place sic months ago, but it had to be postponed due to non-availability of correctly sized suits. In between, NASA sent another medium spacesuit to the station so that the walk could happen.
Koch, who is also set to complete the longest single spaceflight by a woman as she remains in orbit until February 2020, said gender milestones like the spacewalk were especially significant."There are a lot of people who derive motivation from inspiring stories from people who look like them, and I think that it's an important aspect of the story to tell," she told a NASA briefing in Houston this month.
"What we're doing now shows all the work in the decades prior from all the women that worked to get us where we are today," Meir added. Koch, who was slated for the earlier spacewalk, made her fourth walk. But it was Meir's first spacewalk.

Toronto's Beanfield Metroconnect assists SickKids in campus redevelopment
Beanfield Logo
TORONTO, February 7th 2019 – Local telecom provider, Beanfield Metroconnect, has installed a dark fibre-optic link between the main campus of The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and two other SickKids buildings, including the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning. The installation will allow for higher Internet speed and connectivity that can be easily scaled in the future. Beanfield Metroconnect is a customer-focused and experience-driven telecommunications company that owns and operates their entire fibre network end to end. They are trusted in commercial businesses, big and small, across Toronto.
SickKids is undergoing a major campus redevelopment called Project Horizon, which includes an administrative and learning tower (Patient Support Centre), a new hospital (Patient Care Centre) and renovated atrium space on the main campus. "We're thrilled to be a part of this project. It's a great feeling to know that we'll be able to aid in the amazing research and care that SickKids provides," says Vice President of Sales, Kal Benedict. "We're happy that our track record of providing and maintaining a reliable and established service has led to us working with such a highly regarded and impactful organization."
The new fibre-optic cable installation will allow SickKids to demolish the Elizabeth McMaster building without interfering with any communications channels that the hospital needs. This demolition is a critical first step in campus redevelopment.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two
Mobile Game Review
Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two
Developer:Gameloft.
Publisher: Gameloft
Release Date: Out now.
Format: J2ME
Game Features:Various mini-games add to the fun and gameplay variety.
Reviewed on: SE K800i
Live the most thrilling and magical adventure in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ - Part 2, the final and ultimate mobile game of the saga. Embody one of the three iconic characters of the saga and engage in the final battle against Lord Voldemort. Experience an astounding battle mode that includes the use of magic and an auto-lock system and confront enemies and bosses from the novel. Gain XP points to increase your level up to 20 and learn new skills, including impressive magic spells!
This week Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two, now I'm not going to lie, I've never been a Harry Potter fan and probably never will be, I'm a Lord of the Rings fan, so I wasn't really looking forward to playing the game of the newest Harry Potter film, but I endured it, anyway I'll stop blabbering on about myself and get on with the review.
We'll start off with the graphics, and to be fair they're not bad, beautifully detailed and animated, the rich colours and seamless spell animations are a real treat on the eye, but I guess you'd expect that from a Gameloft game, and to be honest the graphics are the best part of the game.
As you'd guess you play as Harry throughout the duration of the game but you're not alone, you're constantly followed by a ginger chap called Ron and a stuck-up moo cow called Hermione.
Now, in terms of actual gameplay... It's not great, though Harry has a host of spells to use at his disposal, most of the time you'll feel as if you're not actually doing any of the work and that's because you're not, the game has auto-aim which for me is a big no no, it takes away any skill and enjoyment and add that to the fact that you'll find yourself mashing the '5' button a lot Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two gameplay does become tedious and repetitive. Though Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two does redeem itself somewhat with the exploration and puzzle solving side of things, such as finding switches to open up paths is not enough, it's not that the game is bad, it's just not exciting.
So then Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two, a game for hardcore Harry Potter fans or people looking to get into the franchise? In my opinion a game for the hardcore fan, though Gameloft have done well with the graphics its let down so much by the gameplay, well mostly by the auto-aim, if it wasn't for that the game could have been great.

While many Aussies believe that the typical online gamer is a youth below the age of 30, a study conducted by Nielsen Holdings has revealed that Australians over the age of 55 make up the largest numerical group of online gamers.
In the report published by Nielsen, it is stated that Australian senior citizens make up in excess of 25% of the 14.5 million people that play online games on some or other technological device each day. It is further stated that women make up most players in this demographic.
Which Titles Are Senior Gamers Playing?
Candy Crush, Pokémon Go and Words with Friends are stated to be some of the games most enjoyed by senior Australian players. With smartphones and tablets being the preferred manner in which to game amongst this demographic, it makes sense that these well-known mobile titles would be popular choices. These players are also said to be spending hours upon hours playing these games.
Generally, mobile titles do not cross many Australians' minds when confronted with the idea of online gaming. Often, most default to thinking about more traditional online video game activities, such as playing Call of Duty on a PlayStation or Xbox. However, it is difficult to suggest that playing a game like Clash of Clans or Candy Crush on a mobile phone doesn't fit the description of online gaming as it involves being connected to the internet and playing with other people.
Were Online Casino Gamers Included in the Study?
Currently, it is unclear as to whether Aussie gamblers playing their favourite casino games online were factored into the study. With many Australians logging into their favourite online gambling site each day, it would be interesting to see how these figures may affect the results of the study if they were not included.
Remember that Aussies can play their favourite casino titles, such as pokies, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and many more online. For the latest in online gaming news, keep it here at AustralianCasinoSites.com!

Online release of North American industrial pollution data reveals signi...
Online release of North American industrial pollution data reveals significant reporting gaps
Oil and gas extraction, mining, and wastewater treatment stand out as clear examples where data reporting needs to improve
Taking Stock Online provides integrated, publicly accessible pollution data from industrial facilities across the continent
Montreal, 13 July 2010-Taking Stock Online, released today by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, provides the latest integrated North American data and most comprehensive picture of industrial pollution across North America, documenting reported releases and transfers of 5.7 billion kilograms of toxic pollutants in 2006 from industrial facilities in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The North American picture is incomplete however, as a combination of national reporting exemptions for certain sectors and pollutants and incomplete reporting by some facilities reveal significant gaps in the portrait of how much pollution is generated and managed by North American industry.
"Regional cooperation on environmental issues depends on comparable and complete data from Canada, Mexico and the United States," said Evan Lloyd, Executive Director of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation. "This information is critical for governments, industry and citizens to address pollution and ensure healthy communities and ecosystems."
Taking Stock Online, published today, presents the latest integrated data set from North America's pollutant release and transfer registers (PRTRs) and features an integrated, multi-year database covering over 500 toxic substances and almost 100 major industrial sectors reporting to the PRTRs of Canada, Mexico and the United States. The site also features new tools to assist in data analysis, including a tool to explore data on pollutants transferred across national borders.
The CEC's Taking Stock Online site is updated annually and allows users to:
Explore information on industrial pollutant releases and transfers;
Generate reports in a variety of formats including pie charts and spreadsheets;
Create maps and view them using Google Earth;
Analyze PRTR data with respect to other information such as watersheds, rivers and lakes, and population centers using geospatial data from the North American Environmental Atlas.
Different reporting requirements reveal gaps
Top industrial sectors reporting releases and transfers in North America included metal mining and activities related to the oil and gas extraction sector; fossil-fuel power plants; chemicals manufacturing; and primary metals manufacturing. Reporting requirements vary by country for some sectors and pollutants, revealing important gaps in the tracking of industrial pollution at a North American level-for example:
The oil and gas extraction sector is exempt from reporting under the US Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), as is hydrogen sulfide (the pollutant reported in largest proportions by this same sector in Canada). In Mexico, the reporting threshold for this pollutant is lower than in Canada and the United States, but zero hydrogen sulfide emissions were reported by the oil and gas extraction sector in 2006.
Some of the toxic pollutants reported in the greatest volume in Canada and the United States, such as carbon disulfide, zinc compounds, methanol, and hydrochloric acid, are exempt from the Mexican reporting system (RETC). As a result, once these pollutants are transferred across the border-for example when zinc is transferred from the United States to Mexico for disposal or recycling-they cannot be tracked.
Data for the public wastewater treatment sector offer a clear example of inconsistencies among national reporting requirements, and under-reporting: this sector accounted for 84% of all reported Canadian discharges to water in 2006; in the United States, the public wastewater treatment sector is exempt from TRI reporting; and in Mexico, although facilities discharging to national water bodies are required to report to RETC, very few wastewater treatment plants did so in 2006.
Progress is being made by governments to close these gaps-such as removing exemptions for sectors and adding substances subject to PRTR reporting. For example, Canada's National Pollutant Release Inventory removed the exemption for disposal of mining tailings and waste rock, which should result in an increase in reporting by Canadian mines next year. Considering the data reported in 2006 by US metal mines, this step is potentially significant for better understanding industries' releases and handling of pollutants of particular concern. Metal mines in the states of Alaska, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, for example, reported releases to land-often in waste piles or uncovered areas-of millions of kilograms of heavy metals including lead and mercury compounds, both of which are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic pollutants.
Today's release of online PRTR data and analytical tools will be complemented with further analyses and information in the CEC's Taking Stock report to be released later this year. It will feature a special analysis of North American industrial pollutant releases to water, with a more detailed look at the sources and amounts as well as their potential impacts on the environment. Last year's Taking Stock report provided an in-depth look at pollutant reporting from North American's petroleum industry.


Sandra Bullock takes the lead in the upcoming Netflix original survival-horror film Bird Box, from award-winning director Susanne Bier.
Bullock plays Malorie, a mother of two young children who are forced to make a treacherous trip down a river, blindfolded, to escape an unknown entity that's been taking the lives of people that come face to face with it.
Not much is shown in the way of the entity referred to above in the trailer, except for some shadowy imagery.
What we know from the trailer is that it's causing death on a catastrophic scale, and the only way to prevent said death is to not look at it, hence the blindfolds.
The film looks equal parts supernatural, survival and sci-fi horror, and features an excellent cast.
It's directed by Susanne Bier and based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Josh Malerman.
Bier's Danish film In a Better World (2010) won the Best Foreign Language Fim award at the 83rd Academy Awards in 2011, and she recently took home a best directing Primetime Emmy award for her work on the TV series The Night Manager.
Bullock is joined by Sarah Paulson, Trevante Rhodes, Jacki Weaver, Rosa Salazar and John Malkovich in supporting roles.
The talent on and off the screen is all there and the trailer is certainly intriguing, though I'm still not entirely sold on the concept (doesn't seem that original).
Maybe some future trailers will shed more light, and if not, it's not a long wait until the film's Netflix release date of 21 December 2018.
