My local village has a fantastic whole foods shop called Garlands Organic. Over the years, I've been there thousands of times as a customer. I have also spent many Saturdays there as an in-store health coach, to answer their customer's health and wellbeing questions.
On one occasion, the chosen monthly topic was sugar and among many other free resources (including delicious sugar-free cakes!), I provided a list of ten ideas to help people quit sugar.
Rather than keeping these confined to a small corner of Berkshire, I thought I should share them more widely.
1. Reduce or eliminate caffeine.
The ups and downs of caffeine include dehydration and blood sugar swings, and may cause sugar cravings to become more frequent.
Sometimes sweet cravings are a sign of dehydration. Before you go for the sugar, have a glass of water and wait a few minutes to see what happens.
3. Eat sweet vegetables and fresh fruit.
They are naturally sweet, delicious and healthy (in moderation). The more you eat, the less you'll crave sugar.
Avoid chemicalised, artificial sweeteners and foods with added sugar. Use gentler natural sweeteners like maple syrup, brown rice syrup, dried fruit, stevia and barley malt.
Introduce simple activities like walking or yoga. Start with 10 minutes a day and gradually increase. Being active helps balance blood sugar levels, boosts energy and reduces tension, which will eliminate the need to self-medicate with sugar!
6. Get more sleep, rest and relaxation.
Simple carbohydrates, such as sugar, are the most readily usable forms of energy for an exhausted body and mind. If you are in a chronic state of stress and/or sleep deprivation, your body will crave the quickest form of energy there is: sugar.
7. Evaluate the amount of animal food you eat.
According to yin/yang principles of eating, eating too much animal food (yang) can lead to cravings for sweets (yin).
8. Eliminate fat-free or low-fat packaged foods.
These foods contain high quantities of sugar to compensate for lack of flavour and fat, which will send you on the roller-coaster ride of sugar highs and lows.
Coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cardamom will naturally sweeten your foods and reduce cravings.
10. Slow down and find sweetness in non-food ways!
Every craving is not a signal that your body requires sugar. Cravings often have a psychological component. By identifying the root causes of food cravings and making lifestyle and relationship adjustments, you can begin to find balance and take charge of your health.
I'd love to hear if you've got any tried-and-tested methods for stopping a sugar craving in its tracks. If so, let me know in the comments below.

From a new line of fonts, to a studio designed to a T, Eliza Shkolnik is at the helm of her dream career, taking on every new project with passion & finesse. We may be touring her calligraphy studio, but we're also taking a peek into her everyday life as a young entrepreneur. Read on for her tidbits of advice and more on what's next for the Eliza Gwendalyn brand.
Tell us a bit about how you got into calligraphy and graphic design?
Day 1) working at home in the studio, I usually wake up anywhere between 6-8:30am and lay in bed answering all my emails for about 2 hours. Then finally get up to make coffee and get on some calls. By 10/11am I am at my desk warming up my hand for whatever calligraphy or illustration project for the day. Clients hire me to do a number of things: calligraphy mirrors, wood, paper, envelopes, place cards etc; design their invitation suite; design their logo; the list goes on. So I work on this for about an hour or two and then I go to the gym/grab lunch with whoever is around! Then I finally come back and do some more work, which can go until dinner and sometimes until midnight! I am coming out with my own font line and also just launched a jewelry line so when I am not working on a client project I am sitting at my desk designing those pieces.
Typical day 2) are my on site days; often clients hire me to come on site to work an event or just to work on a large scale project like the four 8 foot mirror calligraphy panels I recently did for Ovando, which were too big to ship to my studio. These types of days start super early and I am usually on site from anywhere to 7-14 hours. They are grueling but exciting because I get to socialize and show others my craft. I try to treat each day on site as if it's the first day of school or work. The client hires you to get the job done, not to play. Money is time and time is money; I try to be conscious of that on both ends. I usually arrive on site between 10am-12pm depending on the scope of project and I stay until it is finished. For the Ovando panels I came back four days in a row due to the size of the project. The first day I spent 4 hours just setting up!
Typical Day 3) I call my errand days; I wake up whatever time I want and hit the gym and then I spend 3-6 hours running errands: post office, supply stores, meet clients, etc. for the most part plan 1&3 mentioned above get combined often.
Your space is so cute! Did you hire a designer or decorate it on your own? What is your favorite part about your office?
Thank you! I did it all on my own. The cabinet woman wanted to murder me at the end. Since I have a graphics background I actually asked for her CAD blueprints so I could go in and fine tune it myself. I must have edited her layouts 15 times even up until the last second before she sent it to the manufacture. It took 8 weeks for them to hand craft the wood and during that time I was on a hunt for the perfect knobs. I ended up finding my knobs at Anthropologie on sale a few days before completion of the installation – they were such a steal! I also adore the fact that they are plated in such a vibrant gold.
Each shelf is sized specifically for the items that lay on them. I had to have a special area to display my calligraphy pen collection and it was also very important to me to have a pin board I could show off past projects and pin inspiration pieces to. I am constantly replacing pieces on it.Lastly, the lighting and the big window was EVERYTHING and so CRUCIAL to me. We do almost all of the photoshoots on my site and social media in my studio so the lighting needs to be on point – plus who doesn't feel inspired with a big bay window over looking beautiful foliage and the water — even when it is a cold winter day I can look outside and be inspired.
Your designs are so creative, what inspires you on a daily basis?
A lot inspires me, I think throughout the years what inspires me has changed but I am constantly inspired by things: people, peers, other artist like Jamie Reardin, fashion, the foliage in nature, specifically flowers & vines and patterns surrounding me. The most consistent form of inspiration would be the pattern flow in nature & design and my love for childhood books such as Dr Seuss' stories & Alice in wonderland. I pull from both medias to create my whimsical flourished strokes.
I was told in the beginning of my career, by an artist & peer, who to this day still inspires me, that their are two types of calligraphy artists: the master penman of the world who devotes their time to perfecting their letterforms to a degree most people can never achieve OR the one who creates her own style which we refer to as a modern calligrapher. To create your own style you study others and you dig deep into your own thoughts and think about what speaks to you and for you. I am a modern calligrapher but what is unique to my style is that I still study the hand styles from the past; I believe this process is very in tune to my personality. I am very bubbly, outgoing and girlie yet structured and corporate, and I think you see this through my most popular style. I mix copperplate with a modern technique which I have worked on for years and will continue to work on it. That's the beauty of calligraphy, you constantly have to practice and learn and through that you develop and broaden your craft. Another unique attribute to my business is that I am not just a hand lettering artist but a graphic artist which is what I studied at in college, (I went to Savannah College of Art & Design.) I often combine my calligraphy skills with my graphic skills for projects.
You're coming out with your own line of fonts - how exciting! Can you tell us more about them?
This is my ultimate dream project, combining calligraphy and graphics! My first font will be a suite that includes my everyday style the modern copperplate plus a handwritten sans serif, serif, some flourished ornaments and monograms! I call her 'Alice' to pay tribute to Alice in wonderland falling down the rabbit whole; I like to think my flourishes mimic that scene. My second font line to follow will be called 'petunia' which is one of my parents nicknames for me. It's a very simple style.
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs out there looking to start their own business?
So much to say, but where to start? First and foremost, I can't stress enough that you must crawl before you walk. When I first started out I never said 'no' to anything and I ended up biting off more than I could chew. In my case it was a good thing in the beginning because even when I had never done something that was presented to me I would tell my clients YES I can do it for you and through that I gained more experience and added more skills and services to my company's list BUT there is a certain extent that one should go before you are saying yes to everyone and not having time for things that matter.
It is important to make sure your business comes first but not before your friends, family and sanity! I am on my fifth year as an entrepreneur and it is still a constant battle for me to find a balance between work + play, but it really is important to work on this balance. Make sure as hard as you work to make time to play hard too, even if your form of 'playing hard' is curling up on the couch with a good glass of vino and your family. Make sure you take time to do that or you won't be happy being your own boss. It isn't a 9-5 gig, you have to be ready to give 150% even if that means pulling all nighters that you thought you would never have to do after leaving college or taking a call at 3am. You are basically having a baby, this is for life — there are pros and cons but man do the PROS outweigh the cons. It will be one of the scariest adventures you go on but a fun ride if you don't give up. Lastly don't forget, time management is everything — buy a planner or five!

I hope you enjoy fireworks tonight without blowing your hand off. I never quite got the attraction of holding lit sticks with small explosives made in unknown countries by craftsmen who earn nineteen cents a month.
Being a former baseball announcer I used to see firework shows at least five times a year. They were usually exploding in the air when I'm doing the postgame show, trying to read out-of-town scores while the raid on Osama was going on in the background.
When I broadcast for the Mariners in the '90s we used to have indoor fireworks at the Kingdome. That never seemed like a good idea, and in fact ceiling tiles began plummeting to the ground. Who could have possibly predicted that? Plus the dome was smokey for the first half inning. I would routinely hear people coughing through the starting line up announcements.
And then of course there was the post game fireworks show at MacArthur Stadium when I was broadcasting for the Syracuse Chiefs. A spark started a brush fire beyond the left field wall.
One year I was flying coast-to-coast on the night of the 4th. When you look up at fireworks they gloriously fill the entire sky. But when you're looking down at them from 30,000 feet they're just little colored puffs.
But the best fireworks show I ever heard of was on July 5th, 1985. It was supposed to be a July 4th show. The Atlanta Braves were hosting the New York Mets that night. The game went 19 innings and ended at 3:55 in the morning. At 4:01 the show began. I'm sure the twelve people in the stands LOVED it.
Happy July 4th weekend. Drive safe out there. And during firework shows, keep your pets inside. Pets HATE fireworks.
At 4:01 the show began. I'm sure the twelve people in the stands LOVED it.
And the people who lived around Atlanta-Fulton County stadium HATED it. BTW, I was one of the 12.

That Braves-Mets game -- the one time in his career even John Sterling, who is to play-by-play what Kenny Bania is to stand-up, couldn't spoil the fun. Of course, then crazy George Steinbrenner (I refuse to stoop and use the tabloid term "Boss," out of respecct for all the good bosses I've worked for), had to bring him back to New York -- where his shtick bombed with the Nets and Islanders in the '70s -- to inflict audio pain on Yankees fans for the psst 25+ years. (And he replaced a pretty damn good announcer in Hank Greenwald.)

That Mets game was one of the most memorable games for me. It wasn't on television for my area, and so I was glued to my radio for 8 hours
"Happy July 4th weekend. Drive safe out there. And during firework shows, keep your pets inside. Pets HATE fireworks."
As a first-time dog owner I learned that the hard way. Shortly after getting married, we bought a puppy and foolishly brought him to a fireworks show, unaware of how skittish dogs are of it. Needless to say, we left after about five minutes. Six dogs and many years later, my dogs still hate fireworks (hearing them from inside the house) and thunderstorms.
Regarding the brush fire from the fireworks in Syracuse, it reminds of the Disco Demolition Night the Chicago White Sox held in 1979, a week after July 4th. A local DJ blew up a crate of disco records that created a hole in the outfield, caused a riot and resulted in the White Sox forfeiting the second game of a doubleheader.

In Oregon this year there's extreme fire danger so a harsh glare could spark a grass fire, and fireworks are closely watched. But it's also 4 days after July 1st 2015 in Oregon, so we won't be minding any glares. Our chief patriotic festivizing involves egging cars with California license plates.
I'm a bit surprised the Syracuse Chiefs even HAD Fourth of July fireworks. The parsimony of the team's longtime owner became legendary in the International League cities to the west, where I've lived the past 30-plus years.
If you hadn't seen it, you made the owner's obituary earlier this year:
Ken Levine, who broadcast Chiefs' games in 1988, created a fictional character for an episode of 'The Simpsons' - Antoine 'Tex' O'Hara, owner of the Springfield Isotopes - based on our Tex, who passed away Friday.
Not to get too patriotic, but on this date each year I always read something written by one of the founding fathers of this country. A week ago or so, Johnny Walker and I had a brief exchange about the phenomenon of almost every discussion (any subject) in the U.S. devolving into a left vs right issue. It seemed very odd to him, but I was surprised to hear it was not common practice in the UK or indeed all western nations. Imagine my surprise to read the following Thomas Jefferson quote today (which shows how long ago the habit started)--from a letter to a friend:
"It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among our opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition, who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions." Thomas Jefferson, 1808
There was a great Levine/Isaacs Frasier on British TV today, Miss Right Now. Jennifer Tilly was hilarious and I loved the scenes with Ronnie's puritanical mother. Martin's reaction when they return and see Laura Linney's character instead of Tilly was priceless: "What are you doing to me, boy?!"

Fireworks are illegal in my town, which has created a multitude of scofflaws. My German shepherd is disturbed by them, however, so we rat out anyone in the area who sets off fireworks. There's also the fire danger. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of this holiday even though I respect its meaning.

The Boston Bombers used fireworks to kill and injure. When will we see the anti-fireworks crowd reach the same level of fanaticism as the anti-gun nuts?
30 years ago I lived in a 4th floor apartment in Hollywood. The window behind the TV faced straight east. When ever there were fireworks at Dodger Stadium, I'd see them exploding just above my TV. Lot's fireworks displays seen in that home, and yet far enough away that the explosions were quiet pops a bit after each explosion.d
I read a story about that Mets-Braves game. In the 17th inning, Darryl Strawberry objected to a strike call and the plate umpire, Terry Tata, unloaded him. Davey Johnson came out to argue and he left, too, with a classic statement from Tata: at 3 a.m., anything is a strike. I can't say I'd blame him.
There are several great stories about that Mets/Braves game, but this might be the best:
1. The Mets had flown into Atlanta the day before, and come to find out there was a Shriners convention at their hotel - keeping the Mets, who were not exactly choir boys at the time, up all night. When they got back to the hotel at 5 am the next night - the newspapers were already in front of their doors - a bunch of them went all around the hotel, going around every floor, making big time noise, and screaming things like, "Wake up, Shriners!"
The best fireworks I ever saw were the show at Cornell in the late 1970s (I don't know if they still do it). They always ran it the day before or the day after the 4th so they could get a better show for the same money, and it was entirely funded by people's donations on their way out of the football stadium, where it was held (Schoellkopf). Besides the aerial show, they'd have little fireballs chasing each other across the (empty) bleachers at one end, and the fact that it was all audience-funded made it a real community thing.
I heard fireworks going off around 10pm last night (it wasn't dark enough before that), and can only assume it was some British people commemorating being "FREE AT LAST!"

I was at the first performance of Pink Floyd's The Wall at the Sports Arena in Los Angele (1980 I believe). The Wall live shows were an amazing multi-media extravaganza.. At the beginning of the show, at the climax of the first song, they had the large model airplane "fly" (on a wire) across the arena and crash with an explosion. They also shot off fireworks which seemed strange since the show was indoors.
One of the embers from the fireworks lodged in the curtain that had been raised at the beginning of the show (exposing the stage and the beginnings of the wall that was constructed during the show). The ember started smoldering and as the show went on got progressively bigger. Eventually bits of smoking curtain started falling on stage with the musicians dodging them as they fell. The schoolteacher puppet balloon had been inflated and it had blazing eyes that were pointed towards the smoldering rolled up curtain and thus many in the audience thought it was part of the show (not me, I was looking for an avenue for quick exit if necessary).
During the bit with the animated flower they finally stopped the show and the curtain was brought down and the fire was extinguished. It took about 20 minutes to clear the arena of smoke and the the show went on. I was amazed that they were able to wind up the great synchronized machine that was that show and get it running properly without any further problem. I understood that the fireworks were banned on the other performances of The Wall in Los Angeles.

When I worked at Angels Stadium, I loved fireworks nights.
They were the only nights I could leave early and beat the traffic!
I would walk out to my car amid the blare of car alarms.

If you didn't read the news yesterday, Valve has officially confirmed that they've been working on making WINE, a Windows app compatibility layer for GNU+Linux, compatible with the latest versions of the DirectX rendering API, by converting them to the Vulkan standard on the fly. Suspicions were aroused when an open-source developer, Philip "Doitsujin" Rebohl, began developing DXVK, the program that performed this feat, and reached great strides of progress in a relatively short amount of time - now Valve has confirmed that they've been founding his development by hiring him as part of their open-source graphics team, since last February. They've also released their own version of WINE, Proton, with these changes integrated, and soon it will be shipped along with the Linux version of the Steam games client. How can this affect the gaming panorama in the near future?
SteamOS is now a viable Plan B: this is exactly what Valve has been planning all along, since the initial release of SteamOS and the Steam Machines. Their initial plan involved incentivizing developers to port games to Linux natively, but seeing that the Linux market share was almost within the margin of error precisely due to the lack of existing games, they decided to take another way by supporting compatibility efforts for already existing software, in this case WINE. Not depending on Microsoft benefits both Valve (as they no longer depend on the whims of Microsoft, in case they push for UWP or a subscription service for Windows for example) and Windows users themselves (as SteamOS can work as a viable alternative to Windows 10, this will make Microsoft think twice before abusing its current position of monopoly with Windows).
PC gaming can become more affordable: Imagine a world where building a PC no longer requires factoring an expenditure of up to $120 on an original Windows 10 license. With Proton and DXVK, this world is about to become possible, and would put PCs on par with the cost of a PS4 or an Xbox One - a boon that would mean a second breath for the Steam Machine project. In the future, this could even make certain form factors for gaming consoles viable, such as portable devices, stick computers, and even existing smartphones if WINE/Proton is successfully ported to non-x86 chipsets.
It's all based on free software: Valve has released Proton and DXVK as free, open-source software, which means not only Steam can use it as a base - now both community-powered efforts like Lutris, and commercial game stores like GOG, can leverage this workload and also release games on the Linux platform. Thanks to the joined efforts of free software developers, like the team that built WINE and DXVK, and industry standards groups like the Khronos Group, which built the Vulkan cross-platform graphics protocol, it's now possible to unshackle PC gaming from a specific operative system. Sure, for the software freedom purists it'll be more of a honeypot trap, using free software to run proprietary games from a proprietary games store with DRM - but the best part is, it doesn't need to be the case if adopted by other stores and community programs. All in all, this may not be the last piece that heralds the Year of the Linux Desktop, but it's making it become a closer goal, and the fact that there's another viable option is, by itself, great news.


The linear mixed model is a commonly used model for longitudinal or nested data due to its ability to account for the dependency of nested data. Researchers typically rely on the random effects to adequately account for the dependency due to correlated data, however serial correlation can also be used. If the random effect structure is misspecified (perhaps due to convergence problems), can the addition of serial correlation overcome this misspecification and allow for unbiased estimation and accurate inferences? This study explored this question with a simulation. Simulation results show that the fixed effects are unbiased, however inflation of the empirical type I error rate occurs when a random effect is missing from the model. Implications for applied researchers are discussed.

'An idea who's time has come': Senate passes proposal to make daylight saving time permanent
The U.S. Senate has passed a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent, a move that would be welcomed by many people weary of the time changes twice each year.
The proposal passed the chamber through unanimous consent.
Many Americans recently had to advance their clocks by one hour to set them to daylight saving time; the biannual practice of changing the time also involves turning the clocks back by an hour at another point in the year.
But that twice-yearly time tinkering could become a thing of the past if the Sunshine Protection Act clears the House and gets signed by the President, though Americans in areas that follow this schedule would still have to endure the clock switching for awhile longer. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) said implementation would be delayed until November 2023 due to airlines and others requesting time to adjust.
Under the proposal, parts of the U.S. that currently stay on standard time throughout the year would remain on standard time, according to a Rubio press release.
Regarding the plan to enshrine daylight saving time, the Sunshine State lawmaker quipped that "this is an idea who's time has come."
Senator Rubio Speaks Following Unanimous Senate Passage of His Sunshine Protection Actwww.youtube.com
The plan has bipartisan backing, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle supporting it.
"This past weekend, Americans from Washington State to Florida had to lose an hour of sleep for absolutely no reason," Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said, according to the New York Times. "This is a burden and a headache we don't need. Any parent who has worked so hard to get a newborn or a toddler on a regular sleeping schedule understands the absolute chaos changing our clocks creates."

Hans Michael Wühr (* 1942 in Berlin; † Mai 1981) war ein deutscher Maler und Künstler der Art Brut.

Leben
Hans Michael Wühr wurde 1942 geboren. Sein Vater war der Kunsthistoriker und Autor Hans Wühr. Seine Mutter flüchtete mit ihm und seiner Schwester aus dem zerbombten Berlin. Die Familie lebte nach Ende des 2. Weltkrieges in einem bayerischen Dorf mit dem aus der Kriegsgefangenschaft entlassenen Vater. Die Kinder fremdelten und schufen sich eine Fantasiewelt aus Menschen, Tieren, Geistern und Halbwesen, die sie "Nichts" nannten. Hans Wühr besuchte die Waldorfschule und begann im Anschluss Kunst in München und an der Wiener Akademie zu studieren. Nach einem Jahr brach er das Studium ab und versuchte in Paris als freier Künstler Fuß zu fassen. Es folgten Reisen nach Marokko und Drogenkonsum, er wandte sich fernöstlicher Mystik und dem Schamanismus zu.

1965 machte seine Schwester ihn im Pariser Hôpital de la Salpêtrière ausfindig, wo er nach einem Sturz in einen Metroschacht als suizidgefährdet eingewiesen worden war. Zurückgekehrt nach München pendelte er zwischen Psychiatrieaufenthalten und Familie. Um arbeiten zu können, setzte er die verordneten Psychopharmaka ab, meditierte und praktizierte Yoga. Von 1973 bis 1976 war er als Radierer in der Künstlerkolonie Worpswede tätig. Im Mai 1981 nahm er sich in einer depressiven Phase das Leben.

Werk
Wühr arbeitete mit Feder oder Zeichenstift und schuf neben farbenfrohen großen Werken auch kleinformatige, teils kaum postkartengroße Bilder. Vermutlich entstanden sie unter dem Einfluss von starkem Marihuana- und Cannabiskonsum. Seine Bilder verlieren sich in "endlosen Linien, aus denen seine teils organischen, teils geometrischen Gebilde komponiert sind". Wühr schuf eine surreale Welt, in der er seine visionären Eindrücke bildnerisch darstellte. "Sarkastisch und fantasievoll sind die Werke und erinnern teils an die märchenhafte Kunst des Orients".

Wührs Werke gehören zum neuen Teil der Sammlung Prinzhorn. Neben Zeichnungen enthalten sie auch ein Selbstporträt und Fotografien. Mehrere seiner Werke wurden im Rahmen von Ausstellungen gezeigt:
 2018: Das Team als Kurator. Neues und Unbekanntes aus der Sammlung Prinzhorn. Sammlung Prinzhorn, Heidelberg
 1966 wurde sein Werk in der Münchner Galerie Carroll mit einer Einzelausstellung gewürdigt.

I have been working on restorations from my personal chow snapshots collection for a book I am planning that highlights Chows in imagery, from the late 1800's until about the 1950s. I really hope I can find the time to get it all pulled together in 2016.
Not all photos reveal as much detail as this restored beauty…especially when there is such a drastic crop. Scanning at 2000 dpi does help a lot.
I put about 4 hours into digitally restoring this image. It was so worth it and will be part of my CHOW IMAGERY book.
I love this photo above so much. the woman has such a gentle and loving expression focusing on her beautiful chow. I wonder if this is a blue as the face is lighter than the coat even in the original version.

tail: zkopírujte poslední část souboru
Originální popis anglicky: tail - copy the last part of a file
tail [-f][ -c number| -n number ][file]
The tail utility shall copy its input file to the standard output beginning at a designated place.
Copying shall begin at the point in the file indicated by the -c number or -n number options. The option-argument number shall be counted in units of lines or bytes, according to the options -n and -c. Both line and byte counts start from 1.
Tails relative to the end of the file may be saved in an internal buffer, and thus may be limited in length. Such a buffer, if any, shall be no smaller than {LINE_MAX}*10 bytes.
The tail utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
The following options shall be supported:
-c number
The application shall ensure that the number option-argument is a decimal integer whose sign affects the location in the file, measured in bytes, to begin the copying:
Sign Copying Starts
+ Relative to the beginning of the file.
- Relative to the end of the file.
none Relative to the end of the file.
The origin for counting shall be 1; that is, -c +1 represents the first byte of the file, -c -1 the last.
If the input file is a regular file or if the file operand specifies a FIFO, do not terminate after the last line of the input file has been copied, but read and copy further bytes from the input file when they become available. If no file operand is specified and standard input is a pipe, the -f option shall be ignored. If the input file is not a FIFO, pipe, or regular file, it is unspecified whether or not the -f option shall be ignored.
-n number
This option shall be equivalent to -c number, except the starting location in the file shall be measured in lines instead of bytes. The origin for counting shall be 1; that is, -n +1 represents the first line of the file, -n -1 the last.
If neither -c nor -n is specified, -n 10 shall be assumed.
OPERANDS
The following operand shall be supported:
A pathname of an input file. If no file operands are specified, the standard input shall be used.
STDIN
The standard input shall be used only if no file operands are specified. See the INPUT FILES section.
INPUT FILES
If the -c option is specified, the input file can contain arbitrary data; otherwise, the input file shall be a text file.
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of tail:
Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the values of locale categories.)
LC_ALL
If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables.
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
NLSPATH
Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
The designated portion of the input file shall be written to standard output.
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
The following exit values shall be returned:
Successful completion.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
The -c option should be used with caution when the input is a text file containing multi-byte characters; it may produce output that does not start on a character boundary.
Although the input file to tail can be any type, the results might not be what would be expected on some character special device files or on file types not described by the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. Since this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 does not specify the block size used when doing input, tail need not read all of the data from devices that only perform block transfers.
The -f option can be used to monitor the growth of a file that is being written by some other process. For example, the command:
tail -f fred
prints the last ten lines of the file fred, followed by any lines that are appended to fred between the time tail is initiated and killed. As another example, the command:
tail -f -c 15 fred
prints the last 15 bytes of the file fred, followed by any bytes that are appended to fred between the time tail is initiated and killed.
This version of tail was created to allow conformance to the Utility Syntax Guidelines. The historical -b option was omitted because of the general non-portability of block-sized units of text. The -c option historically meant "characters", but this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 indicates that it means "bytes". This was selected to allow reasonable implementations when multi-byte characters are possible; it was not named -b to avoid confusion with the historical -b.
The origin of counting both lines and bytes is 1, matching all widespread historical implementations.
The restriction on the internal buffer is a compromise between the historical System V implementation of 4096 bytes and the BSD 32768 bytes.
The -f option has been implemented as a loop that sleeps for 1 second and copies any bytes that are available. This is sufficient, but if more efficient methods of determining when new data are available are developed, implementations are encouraged to use them.
Historical documentation indicates that tail ignores the -f option if the input file is a pipe (pipe and FIFO on systems that support FIFOs). On BSD-based systems, this has been true; on System V-based systems, this was true when input was taken from standard input, but it did not ignore the -f flag if a FIFO was named as the file operand. Since the -f option is not useful on pipes and all historical implementations ignore -f if no file operand is specified and standard input is a pipe, this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 requires this behavior. However, since the -f option is useful on a FIFO, this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 also requires that if standard input is a FIFO or a FIFO is named, the -f option shall not be ignored. Although historical behavior does not ignore the -f option for other file types, this is unspecified so that implementations are allowed to ignore the -f option if it is known that the file cannot be extended.
This was changed to the current form based on comments noting that -c was almost never used without specifying a number and that there was no need to specify -l if -n number was given.

Q: Split a String and store value in Array in JavaScript I have a string "My name is Aditya Kumar" and I want to split the string by space and store into a array like:
var arr = {My,name,is,Aditya,Kumar};

How can i do this?

A: That will be space not backspace, And I think you are getting confused the syntax of array from other languages.
In javascript the array syntax is [] not {}.
Use this
"My name is Aditya Kumar".split(' ')

Output
["My", "name", "is", "Aditya", "Kumar"]

In javascript arrays are like above not like which you have mentioned.

A: arr.split(' ');

It's a basic javascript function

A: split already returns an array of strings:
var arr =  "My name is Aditya Kumar".split(" ")
// returns [My, name, is, Aditya, Kumar]

Also note that what you have is an object, not an array, arrays are identified by square brackets ([]).

A: "My name is Aditya Kumar".split(' ');//["My", "name", "is", "Aditya", "Kumar"]

A: Use this
var str = 'My name is Aditya Kumar';
var res = str.split(' ');

The result of res will be an array with the values:

A: this is the correct answer as OP expected
var str = "My name is Aditya Kumar";
var new_str = "{"+str.replace(/ /g, ',')+"}";
alert(new_str);

OUTPUT :
{My,name,is,Aditya,Kumar}

All the reviewed washer and dryer sets are awesome. However I chose the one with more units of tech inside. It is Samsung WF50K7500AW Washer and DV50K7500EW Dryer because of remote control and bigger size. Their prices are quite similar except the last 10 th price. It has $500 lower price tag. But you may choose any one of them according to your own criteria.
With such huge numbers of washer and dryer choices today, it can be difficult to choose which one best suites your requirements. Do you have a family with a considerable measure of clothing? Is its performance critical to you? Do you give it a second thought if it is vitality effective? Here are some a greater number of the best things to consider before picking the best washer and dryer for your household.
To start with, figure out what you and your family needs in a washer as far as limit, water and vitality proficiency, volume, length of wash cycle, programs, and separating frameworks.
For the most part, there are two kinds of cloth washers — top-loading and front-loading. Each has their own pros and cons. For example, a top loading isn't as washing effective as a front loading. In any case, a front loader for the most part has more pre-programmed wash cycles.
Storage is one of the worrying factors while picking a washer. Pick a machine that will address the issues of your family. Most washers measure in kilograms. A machine that can handle with 6-7 kilograms (around 12-15 pounds) is sufficiently suitable for a family with several kids.
Efficiency in water usage is estimated how many liters are used in one wash. Since every state has their own water supply price, check with your nearby water utility supplier to decide the most ideal approaches to spare in your general leisure. Remember that the top loader isn't as washing proficient as the front loader.
Regardless of whether you mind how boisterous your machine is relies upon your living circumstance. Do you live on the second floor, and would you say you are remembering your neighbor's need? Where will your machine be standing? In case you'll be doing clothing in the storm cellar or carport, its volume won't make any difference as much as though it's situated in the family room.
In case you're frequently in a surge, or you have a great deal of clothing that should be done in light of the fact that you have an big family, you don't need a washer that takes too long to run a heap. Top-loaders are generally best in case you need shorter washing cycles.
While numerous projects on a clothes washer aren't vital, you may pick one machine over another for a particular program that interests to your necessities. Numerous are accessible, for example, turn speed, delicate cycles, and hand-washing cycles. Some high-end washers can even decide the span of the heap, the correct cycle to utilize, and how grimy your clothing is. These machines will probably be more costly than budget ones.
The sifting framework strips build up far from your garments as the machine washes them. In some cases, top-loaders have issues with stripping ceaselessly build up. However, you have a great deal of build up or creature hair on your garments, you might need to put dirty clothes into a front-loader.
Notwithstanding a portion of the above pros and cons, top-loaders are generally less expensive, more lightweight, and have a bigger storage. Nevertheless, they are regularly less vitality proficient, utilize more clothing cleanser, and harder on apparel.
Front-loader clothes washers are generally more vitality proficient, utilize less cleanser, and have a quicker turn cycle, which prompts a shorter drying time. In any case, they are at first more costly than top-loaders, can wrinkle garments, and are even heavier.
While you should in any case do some exploration before picking your dryer, most dryers are genuinely equivalent. They all turn your dress in a drum with a warmth source. The following are two of the biggest ways they contrast.
In case you're spending plan cognizant, you might need to consider utilizing a gas dryer since they're more vitality proficient. Moreover, despite the fact that dryers utilize a great deal of vitality, more up to date models have particular choices for drying dress that can spend less vitality relying upon the setting. You can decide on one that has a chill off cycle, a dampness sensor that advises the dryers when to close off, and a clammy dry cycle. For drying things like shoes, a few dryers additionally have a sans tumble cycle.
Also, consider introducing a dryer-vent supporter to expand productivity and the life of your machine.
Dryers are evaluated by their ability estimate, so picking one that supplements your washer limit is savvy. For instance, a 3.5 cubic-foot washer would require around a 7 cubic-foot dryer limit. Dryers by and large come in sizes running from 5-7 cubic feet in limit.
Picking a washer and dryer truth is stranger than fiction for you can be extreme, however it's feasible in the event that you remember these couple of things. Once you've picked the ideal set, you can introduce them wherever best suits your necessities.
Dryer racks secure caps, tennis shoes, and sensitive things from getting thumped around by suspending them over the drum for without tumble drying. The element is commonly inaccessible on humbly valued machines (dryers under $500). In any case, the vast majority don't utilize it that much.
Unlike clay covered steel drums, tempered steel ones remain free of scratches and scratches caused by metal zippers, catches, and bolts. Be that as it may, they don't upgrade dryer productivity.
Being ready to control your machine remotely through an application on your PC or individual gadget can consume you. The National Fire Protection Association says a garments dryer ought to never be worked when you're dozing or out of the house. One out of each 22 home structure fires somewhere in the range of 2006 and 2010 included a dryer or clothes washer.
This savvy highlight may spare your dryer inclinations, yet it doesn't improve machine execution or usefulness.
• Eco-mode: It might sound naturally benevolent, however it's simply a low warmth setting with a broadened drying time.
• Speed dry: You can accomplish a similar impact by running a heap for 15 minutes on high warmth.
Wrinkle monitor: Once attire is dry, it'll tumble clothing without warmth for up to 60 minutes. However, it expands a cycle's vitality use by up to 10%.
Steam modes: They guarantee to evacuate wrinkles and spruce up attire. Be that as it may, this is what gets us angry as a mad bull: This capacity can utilize 20% of the vitality spent on a normal drying cycle without evacuating a solitary wrinkle. Cost-cognizant purchasers guarantee to accomplish comparable outcomes by adding a clammy washcloth to a wrinkled load.
• Hire an authorized handyman to introduce a gas line to your pantry. Expanding a gas line costs $150 to $1,000, contingent upon the length and unpredictability.
• Hire a HVAC contractual worker who has practical experience in dryer vent establishment. Cost relies upon how shut your pantry is to an outside divider and how work concentrated it is to slice through. Property holders can hope to pay $150 to $500.
FYI: You'll likewise need to connect your gas dryer to a 120-volt outlet.
• Add a committed 220-volt circuit. On the off chance that your pantry doesn't have one, you'll require an authorized circuit tester to introduce. Costs go from $300 to $800.
FYI: About 72% of private garments dryers are electric.
• You might have the capacity to exchange it for a discount on your new machine. Check with your retailer before purchasing.
• If it's in great working condition, give it to a neighborhood philanthropy. Doing great may score you an expense reasoning.
• If it's broken, check with your neighborhood region on the best way to reuse.

Accused Russian Troll Farm Literally Tells Mueller They Don't Know What 'Improper Foreign Influence' Means
Ronn BlitzerMar 4th, 2019, 3:11 pm
Concord Management and Consulting, LLC, the Russian company accused of being involved in a complex election interference operation in 2016, wants to know exactly what Special Counsel Robert Mueller thinks they did. In a Monday court filing, the firm asked the court to order the Special Counsel's Office to file a bill of particulars that specifies exactly what they think Concord did, who they believe did it, and explain key words and phrases in the indictment.
"While providing no details about what the Concord corporate entity actually did, the Indictment simply states over and over again that the 'Defendants and their co-conspirators' engaged in various acts, making it impossible to determine when and where the term 'Defendants' includes Concord and who the co-conspirators are," Concord stated.
They claimed that the "vague" language that Mueller used in the indictment was "insufficient to permit Concord to prepare adequately for trial."
The request for a bill of particulars specifically is aimed at finding out information including "which social media accounts, group pages, and email accounts" are alleged to be involved, what expenditures they allegedly made, and which individual employees or agents of Concord Management Mueller believes to be co-conspirators or non-conspirators connected to the allegations.
Concord also claims that Mueller's office was too vague with their language, and wants to know the meaning of key phrases like "political activities," "interfere with elections and political processes," and "improper foreign influence."
"These terms have no legal meaning, and by virtue of their inclusion in the Indictment, they force Concord to speculate what their meaning might be," the filing says.
Law&Crime has reached out to the Special Counsel's Office for comment. Mueller spokesman Peter Carr declined to comment.

Come & Eat Now Available for Preorder!
Some of my favorite memories in life occurred around a table. We were at the table. Or started at the table. Or ended at the table.
What I'm saying is, there was a table.
Of all the different places Jeremy and I have moved, all the diverse cities we've lived in, all the stunning, complex humans we've had the gift of doing life with – there was always this familiar block of wood.
I've seen miraculous things happen at the table. The tumbling walls of divisiveness; an entrance, maybe for the first time, through the door of raw humility. The wearied souls strengthened, the sinful forgiven, the shamed called into healing, the outcast given dignity.
This is why I wrote Come & Eat.
I wrote this book because I was thinking, maybe there is more power in an invitation to the table than we could ever fathom?
Maybe before Jesus sends us to some foreign land, or to some stage, or on some mission to proclaim His love, maybe He wants to start smaller? Maybe He wants to send us directly to our table?
Maybe an invitation to the table is less about a message and more about a movement?
I did not want to tell you about the power of an invitation to the table and then not give you everything you need to experience it yourself.
I want to tell you that I did not write this from a place of expertise. I wrote it from a place of initial failure. From a place where my desire to get to the table was usually met with my exhaustion. And my exhaustion was winning on repeat.
I did not keep anything from you. I share my burnt meals, the many times I entertained at an empty table, my fears, my brokenness…the one story I have never written and only shared a few times in intimate circles is also in this book.
Like I said, it is all I had to give. I wanted to give it all to you.
There are also 21 weeknight recipes as well as tips and tricks throughout the book to help you in the kitchen or to get you to the table more consistently. At the end of each chapter I wrote a prayer for you as well as questions you can ask around your table.
This book is my invitation to you, to start (or continue or add onto) your own unique pilgrimage to celebrating life and grace around your own everyday table.
My book releases September 5 but I do not want you to wait until then! You can preorder the book TODAY! And it is such an honor to openly give you some of the favorite parts of my book when you preorder.

Wale calls for investigation into abduction & conspiracy to murder claims involve PM
By Robert Iroga Last updated Dec 12, 2021
PM in the recent Parliament.
The Leader of Opposition, Hon. Mathew Wale, has called for the commencement of a full and thorough criminal investigation into serious criminal allegations concerning PM Sogavare.
"I call on the police and criminal investigation authorities to immediately start criminal investigations into abduction and conspiracy to murder allegations that involve our Prime Minister back in 2000".
Hon. Wale made the call in light of the admission by PM Sogavare during the recent motion of no confidence debate, wherein the PM claimed that he saved the life of Hon. Bodo Dettke, the MP for North West Guadalcanal, together with the late Hon. John Garo.
The Leader of Opposition stated that, "the recollection of the PM made on the floor of parliament and broadcasted around the nation and abroad, was an admission which confirms and places PM Sogavare right at the scene of a potential crime which has him interacting with both the alleged abductees and abductors".
Hon. Wale is now aware of a statement released to the public by Hon. Dettke, one of the persons who was abducted, which may contradict the version of events as recalled by the PM in parliament.
"We have a situation where the Head of Government has placed himself at the scene of potential serious crimes, and his version of the story does not line up with that of the person who was abducted," said Wale.
He added that, "it is now fact that Hon. Dettke was abducted. This has been corroborated by the PM himself who, with his savior of Hon. Dettke statement, was a witness to this".
The Opposition Leader further stated that, "the motive for Hon. Dettke's abduction is yet to be determined and the versions of the events do not line up, that is why a thorough investigation needs to be undertaken by our authorities".
Hon. Wale added that, "The pertinent questions to ask are, who ordered the abductions, and 'why the abductees were brought to Hon. Sogavare's office?"
The Opposition Leader said the PM mentioned he has reconciled with the person who carried out the abductions. Hon. Wale however feared the reconciliation may have been an attempt to influence a potential key witness to the crime
"This is an issue of national interest and it is both in the interest of the country and PM's own that investigations start, which will allow the PM the opportunity to ensure that he clears his involvement in these serous criminal matters and any wrong doing which he has implicated himself in," Wale further added.

Our wallets appear safe with the Legislature out of session. Now it's just a matter of gubernatorial decisions.
THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 31 was signed by the governor; HB 238 passed Senate committee, passed the Senate, and was sent to the governor; HB 332 with minor amendment passed the Senate, was concurred in by the House, and was sent to the governor; HB 377 passed Senate committee, passed the Senate, and was sent to the governor; HB 384 passed Senate committee, passed the Senate, and was sent to the governor; HB 415 was signed by the governor; HB 416 with minor amendment passed the Senate, was concurred in by the House, and sent to the governor; HB 435 passed the Senate and was sent to the governor; HB 509 with minor amendment passed Senate committee, passed the Senate, was concurred in by the House, and sent to the governor; HB 526 passed the Senate and was sent to the governor; HB 537 with minor amendment was called from Senate committee, passed the Senate, was concurred in by the House, and was sent to the governor; HB 549 with minor amendment passed the Senate, was rejected by the House, went to conference, had conference report adopted by the House, had conference report adopted by the Senate, and was sent to the governor; HB 589 was sent to the governor; HB 636 was concurred in by the House and sent to the governor; HB 646 with minor amendment passed Senate committee, passed the Senate, was concurred in by the House, and sent to the governor; SB 113 failed to pass the House; SB 266 with minor amendment passed the House, was concurred in by the Senate, and was sent to the governor; SB 269 with minor amendment passed the House, was rejected by the Senate, went to conference, had conference report adopted by the House, had conference report adopted by the Senate, and was sent to the governor.
Yes, I know the status of SB 259 can be confusing. With every stop it gyrates between being a good or bad bill, and even in between. For now, it remains good.
THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 7 with minor amendment passed Senate committee; HB 31 passed the Senate and was sent to the governor; HB 55 was signed by the governor; HB 203 with minor amendment passed the House; HB 332 passed Senate committee; HB 384 passed House committee and passed the House; HB 415 passed the Senate and was sent to the governor; HB 416 with major amendment passed Senate committee; HB 435 passed Senate committee; HB 509 passed Senate committee; HB 526 passed Senate committee; HB 549 with minor amendment passed Senate committee; HB 589 passed Senate committee and passed the Senate; HB 636 with major amendment passed the Senate; HB 642 passed Senate committee; SB 13 passed the House and was sent to the governor; SB 66 with major amendment passed the House, had Senate reject amendment, and went to conference; SB 76 passed the House; SB 113 passed House committee; SB 114 with minor amendment passed House committee; SB 259 with major amendment passed House committee; SB 266 with minor amendment passed House committee; SB 269 passed House committee.
THIS WEEK FOR THE BAD: HB 15 with minor amendment passed House committee, passed the House; HB 313 passed Senate committee; SB 6 passed the Senate and was sent to the governor; SB 69 passed House committee; SB 171 with minor amendment passed House committee.
SB 53 by Sen. John Alario would amend the Constitution to cap the amount of money in the Millennium Trust Fund and use some of the money over that amount of $1.38 billion to fund the Taylor Opportunity Program for Scholars, increasing the amount from the MTF that goes to TOPS.
The House Appropriations Committee was told the diversion of the payments, at a 2.5 percent interest rate, would cost around $1.5 billion from money diverted from funding other items through the MTF, but they would generate $3.9 billion in terms of savings from the general fund to fund TOPS and in the elimination of the annuity payments associated with the fund (from the sales of tobacco settlement proceeds). When federal matching funds are involved theoretically over 40 years, the loss is $3 billion but the gain is (depending on where it was spent) as much as $12.3 billion.
After approval of technical amendments, Rep. Pat Smith, after basically to have it all explained to her again, asked about whether TOPS was retaining students. She was told statistics show TOPS did increase retention rates, but she said it also concerned her as to what happened afterwards, so that the bill was more keeping students in college, not in the state. Smith insisted the bill did not address presumed "high-ability" students who did not qualify for TOPS.
While from time to time in the legislative process a good bill gets its salutary features neutered, or a bad bill becomes benign, for the first time in seven years a bill actually has gone straight from one category to another. HB 306 with substantial changes has gone from unworkable and detrimental to desirable.
THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 31 passed Senate committee; HB 55 passed the Senate; HB 175 became HB 646 by substitute; HB 306 with major amendment passed committee, with minor amendment passed the House; HB 332 passed the House; HB 377 with minor amendment passed the House; HB 415 passed Senate committee; HB 416 with minor amendment passed the House; HB 435 passed House committee, passed the House; HB 530 with major amendment passed the House; HB 537 passed Senate committee; HB 545 was involuntarily deferred by House committee; HB 646 with minor amendment passed the House; SB 13 passed House committee; SB 66 with major amendment passed House committee; SB 76 with minor amendment passed House committee; SB 259 with major amendment passed the Senate; SB 266 with minor amendment passed the Senate; SB 269 passed the Senate.
THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 55 passed Senate committee; HB 175 passed House committee; HB 411 passed House committee; HB 448 with minor amendment passed House committee; HB 589 with minor amendment passed the House; HB 636 with minor amendment passed Senate committee; SB 108 passed the Senate; SB 259 with minor amendments passed Senate committee.
THIS WEEK FOR THE BAD: SB 6 with minor amendment passed the Senate; SB 171 with minor amendment passed the Senate.
