Q: How to tell Django to put media (pdf) files urls in sitemap.xml? I've put static views and model views in my Django generated sitemap.xml file but i do not know how to tell Django to put all of the media files in to it? I have a hundred of PDF files with seo friendly links and i want them in my sitemap.xml, but as they are not in correlation with any of my models i don't know how to manage this?
EDIT: I almost forgot one important thing - my media (pdf) files are served through CloudFront so even if i manage somehow to list them in my Django Sitemap.xml i'll have additional problem because they have 'something.cloudfront.com' in their url's and not on my web site's url 'example.com'.
Is this even possible to solve? How does this reflect on SEO?
SOLVED:
@kb, thanks for a great answer! I've used RewriteRule in my htaccess as you suggested in the first part of your answer, and it works fine.
As of second part, instead of creating model for my media files (which would work just fine, but only downside would be manual adding of every new pdf file)
i decided to add some lines to my items() method so i could list bucket content and filter pdf files. With that i can have all of my files up-to-date all the time, easily:
#sitemap.py
import boto
from boto.s3.key import Key
from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection
import re

def items(self):
        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = #'my_access_key_number'
        AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = #'my_secret_access_key'
        Bucketname = #'my_bucket_name'
        conn = boto.s3.connect_to_region('eu-central-1', aws_access_key_id=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, aws_secret_access_key=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, is_secure=False, calling_format = boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat())
        bucket = conn.get_bucket(Bucketname)
        new_list = []
        regex = re.compile(r'bucketsubfolder/media.*\.pdf$', re.I) #i hold my media files in bucketsubfolder so url is for example somedomain.cloudfront.net/bucketsubfolder/media/somefile.pdf
        for item in bucket.list():
            if regex.match(item.name):
                new_list.append(item.name)
        return new_list

A: You are not allowed to use external urls in your sitemap (or rather, they won't have the desired effect being indexed by Google as part of your site content).
I think your best option is to dedicate a path on your site like /hosted/pdf/xxxx.pdf that rewrites everything to cloudfront.com/pdf/xxxx.pdf or similar using mod_rewrite/location patterns/regex.
That way you can use a local site URL in your sitemap but still have the browser sent to the cloudfront served content directly, I think this might even be a good use of the 302 HTTP status code.
In the Sitemap class there is an items() method that returns what is to be included in the sitemap.xml, and you could create your own class that extends it and adds additional data.
You can either manually add the data hardcoded in the method but I think the preferred option is to create a Model that represents each remote hosted file and that contains the information necessary to output it in the sitemap. (This also lets you add properties such as visibility on a per file basis and lets you manage it via admin assuming you set up a ModelAdmin for it.)
I think you might be able do something similar to what they show in http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/contrib/sitemaps with the BlogSitemap class that extends Sitemap. Be sure to check the heading "Sitemap for static views" on that page as well.
My suggestion is that you chose the model approach to represent the files, so you have your hosted PDFs (or other CDN content) as a model called StaticHostedFile or similar and you iterate through all of them in the items() section. It does require you to index all the current PDFs to create models for them as well as create a new model whenever a new PDF is added (but that could be automated).
It can be good to know that you can add "includes" in a sitemap.xml so you might be able to split the site content into two sitemaps (content+pdfs) and include both in sitemap.xml, for instance:
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    <sitemap>
        <loc>http://www.example.com/original_sitemap.xml</loc>
        <lastmod>2016-07-12T09:12Z</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
    <sitemap>
        <loc>http://www.example.com/pdf_sitemap.xml</loc>
        <lastmod>2016-07-15T08:55Z</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

This still requires local URLs and rewrites as per above though, but it can be a nifty trick for when you have several separate sitemaps to combine. (For instance if running a Django site under one subdir and a Wordpress site under another or whatnot.)


This is a difficult one way trail in Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
This trail goes by Swift Glacier.
We camped at the Marble Mountain Sno-Park parking lot the night before and started our ascent on the Worm Flows Winter trail at 4:15 AM. We began the hike with micro spikes and did not take them off for the duration of the trip. The moon was bright but we still used our headlamps until about 5:45 when the sunrise was bright enough to light the path. After timberline, we were above the clouds and the sunrise was absolutely stunning. After reaching the "permit required" at about 3 miles up, it was a stair stepping climb of 5,500 feet to the summit. There is a false summit and only 650 feet more of elevation gain until the true summit. We were lucky to go on a sunny day with footholds in a majority of the snow pack up. Wear sunscreen! We reached the summit at 9:30 AM. The views were well worth the climb and there was a cornice that we needed to be careful of but otherwise, there were views of Adams, Hoood, and Rainier in addition the astounding layer of clouds and peeping holes of the mountains/lakes below. We had never tried glissading but once we got the hang of it, it was by far the easiest way down. Be sure to bring waterproof pants and an ice axe but due to the steep grade of the trail on snow/ice, walking would have been much more dangerous. There were TONS of hikers/skiers ascending as the snow started to soften during our descent and we were grateful to have started early enough where the snow was hard and easy to trek across. After glissading down 6,000 feet or so, we walked the additional 2 miles back to the parking lot and returned at 1:45 PM.
Mt. Saint Helens on Mother's day is a yearly tradition. Up to 500 climbers make their way up the mountain wearing dresses and carrying flowers. Conditions started off foggy and overcast for the first 1/3 of the way up. The sun broke out shortly after the weather station, coincidentally. The rest of the ascent was perfectly clear, bluebird visibility. Summit was windy, with forecast predicting gusts of around 25mph. The high spirits the climbers warm and fuzzy inside. The descent on a snowboard was incredible. Snow condition was prime, but we had to stay alert for dangerous conditions. Crevasses, cornices, and possible rockfall and avalanche danger were all in the radar. I've snowboarded over my first crevasse, albeit, accidentally. We made our way down safely, celebrating life, the mountains, and the elders who have lived before us.

Voter Turnout (Municipal Election)
Voter turnout measures the percentage of registered voters who turn out to vote in municipal elections.
Elections are the most fundamental processes of democratic engagement, and high turnouts are generally considered to be positive-voter turnouts are an indicator of the overall health of the democratic system. Voter turnout varies across the population, with some groups better represented at the polls than others. Age, education, and income are three major factors that influence voter turnout. A common concern is that low voter turnouts may affect the extent to which electoral outcomes (and therefore policies of government) reflect the will of the general population.
Measurement and Limitations
Voter turnout was calculated by looking at the number of votes divided by the number of registered voters. There are several other ways of calculating voter turnout. For instance, voter turnout is often calculated by dividing the number of people going to the polls to vote divided by the number of eligible voters. Though this would give a more accurate representation of the percentage of the eligible population that votes, it can be difficult to determine the precise number of eligible voters. Caution should be used when comparing against other figures.

The Kent RO India Economic Conclave(ET//ETNOW), probably reminds other Indiaphiles of the Autoclaves and Indian barbecues as the Delhi Winters approach. Indian (Mughlai) Barbies of course last all year and the take off on that name is rather steeply silly, but not as silly as those Modi'fying Indian polity or still relying on Bankrupt European franchises not just in India but even in US where European Banks try to claim the upcycle again just for having reached the bottom of the valuation pile in investor opinion.
It signals that people are listening to more than the seldom heard refrain earlier that US Bonds are headed for the 4% mark on the 10-year Treasuries, Goldman Sachs having updated their opinion and with US equities starting from record 16000 levels finally after 5 years other equity assets around the globe are also finding favour. India must be enthused because even without the Enclaves or any agro encomium (at the new WTO round in the 'hood), India weights will remain ahead of European bank investments, HY Bonds in the US that continue to come back however will be something EMs and India cannot compete against.
I-Banks stocks are a good pick if your portfolio does not have overseas diversification yet, with Investing in fashion and rising by the EM watermark rate of 30% growth at least in the first 6 months. Again, these flows including US high yield and specific picks in Global equities do not compete with India flows, while Asia credit remains at its most constrained sufficiently tempting even without European QE to keep the arbitrage for Asian treasuries and an umbrella from Domestic Interest rates is always readily available, not threatening the CAD in any of these South Asian / ASEAN SE economies that seem to bring more relief to Chinese investors and pro reform governments. The winners however in the I Banks are HSBC and Goldman Sachs and other stronger names, and one should be careful to whom one listens and sets the morning alarm with.
FIPB approvals have come in for Singapore Airlines – Tata Air joint venture and Religare which will invest as holding company from the island state.
Another quick silly update: The linkages of urban and even rural India to radio as a media have again spiked into something tasty and a medicine to nail the hubris, without having to drink and drive, even as new year celebraions come around the bend in Lutyens' Delhi and elsewhere. Home is where the heart is, they say, esp when the RJ is handing out your favorite Mall freebies and movie Tickets with Muscle and oomph.
A small slide in from Gold to near 31k marks just on the news of 40% investment demand of last year returning. Gold season is tough for Financial discipline. UCO Baank results? give them a pass and stay with BOI and PNB, and you must get short on SBI to save the India Fund you have been planning. Buy IDFC, trade YES Bank and ITC because you have already bought and no there are no retail investors to count in the Indian markets the residuall INR 50 Bln turnover of the class probably counting professionals in the trade, since the first 95 circulars from SEBI cut out sub brokers and MLM chains from Indian Financial Markets. QFIs have still not taken much to directly investing in India and apparently there is still something to be done about it..

I have taken all my vaccination, but do not have DS-3025 completed. Do I still need to submit I-693 at AOS?
1. can I just submit my vaccination record along with my AOS application?
2. Am i required to have my vaccination record to be examined by a CV who can complete the I-693 for me in my case?
3. If turned out more vaccination is required, it will be stated in the RFE right? Will it then delay my EAD and AP combination card?
My understanding is that you have to have a USCIS-approved doctor have a look at your vaccination record and fill in either the DS-3025 (before the K-1 interview) or the I-693 (before submitting AOS). Immigration officers are not supposed to know the equivalent US vaccines for the ones you had in your home country.
I know the names of the vaccines are different in France than they are in the US. A regular US doctor won't know what vaccines I've had by looking at my French record (that's what the doctor told me at my K-1 medical).
I would go see a civil surgeon here before submitting my AOS if I were you.
3) Unsure about that one. They might just ask you to bring the I-693 at the interview. I would guess it might not delay EAD/AP since they're different applications. Just a guess though.
If you entered as a K-1, you still need to have a vaccination supplement completed by a civil surgeon in the U.S. This would be Page 9 of Form I-693 only, to be submitted in a sealed envelope with your adjustment of status application.
You need the I693 vaccine section filled out by a USCIS approved doctor. The case officers are not medical professionals and can't evaluate if your foreign records meet the requirement.
Many K-1 adjustment applicants do not need to see a civil surgeon. It depends on whether or not you had all the required vaccinations marked off on a properly filled out DS-3025 at your K-1 medical.
And more than Page 9 of the I-693 would need to be filled out if you were in need of seeing a civil surgeon.
Thanks guys for the quick response! In short I will need to see a CS to have the I-693 filled out properly. Thanks!


I am also trying in parallel to achieve this. I am new to C++ and this SDK. Can someone give me a clue how to implement entry procedure of SWIM? Procedure contains 4 pulses of 1kHz and 4 pulses in 2kHz so bitrate is changing.
Please, SWIM is a standard Protocol on ST-Link v"

Are the Moto Mods enough for you to overlook the Moto Z2 Force's flaws? [Poll]
Justin Duino
@jaduino
Lenovo today officially unveiled the new Moto Z2 Force. As the successor to last year's Z Force, the device has an identical footprint and is compatible with both old and new Moto Mods. Alongside the Z2 Force, Lenovo also showed off two new Mods: a gaming controller and a 360-degree camera.
Are Moto Mods enough to convince you to purchase the Moto Z2 Force?
As stated, this year's Moto Z2 Force has an almost identical look and feel to last year's model. The difference this time around is that the Z2 Force now packs a dual 12MP camera setup, a thinner build, and a smaller battery. While the updated camera is a solid addition, the other two changes have been met with mixed reactions.
As Joe Maring said in a comment piece earlier today, Motorola doesn't seem to be listening to its fans. Instead of prioritizing battery life and cost, Lenovo is shrinking the battery while upping the price of the handset. And the Z2 Force's $799 price tag doesn't include a bag full of Moto Mods, so if you want those, that'll cost an addition $40 to $300 per item.
So, do the Moto Mods compel you enough to purchase the Moto Z2 Force? Or do you think the Mods are too expensive and without them, the phone isn't worth the money? Answer the poll below and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
The Moto Z2 Force features a dual 12MP camera setup and a thinner design, but at the cost of a smaller battery.

Kim Jong-un Confirms Design For a $200 Million International Airport
Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan
First Instagram, now this: An architecture and planning firm in Hong Kong has reportedly been chosen to turn a military airstrip in North Korea into an international airport. The plans show two donut-shaped terminals that could contribute to what some are describing as a tiny-but-not-imperceptible North Korean economic boom.
The plans show the transformation of a former military airport in Kangwon Province—near Mount Kumgang Tourism Zone, a region of Kangwon where South Korean tourists have been allowed to visit intermittently since 2002—into a large commercial hub called Wonsan International Airport. According to the South China Morning Post, the design by Hong Kong architects PLT was confirmed by Kim Jong-un himself—who was apparently so psyched about them that he ordered Pyongyang's airport be revamped, so as not to look shabby next to Wonsan.
The renderings for the hub are surprisingly restrained for a country where architecture is wielded as a tool of state propaganda. They show two 36,000-square-foot oval terminals (one for international, one for domestic) that can each accommodate six planes. Exactly how each terminal is laid out isn't clear, but each seems to consist of a subterranean floor where departures happen, topped off by a larger arrival and commercial core (the hollow areas offer outdoor green space). According to PLT, the donuts were inspired by traditional Korean drums—though they look distinctly reminiscent of Virgin Galactic's spaceport, too.
Otto Cheng Ping-lun, the lead planner at PLT, had the following to say about the decision:
My partner was invited [to fly to North Korea] on a private jet provided by the investor. Of course, they had to leave their mobile phones in the airport before entering the country... We were told that Kim was happy with our design. However, Kim said the airport in the capital should not look worse than the one in the economic zone. That's why we were also asked to upgrade the airport in Pyongyang.
So now PLT is taking on two major construction projects in a country whose GDP barely tops $30 billion. As far as the plans go, these designs aren't all that ostentatious, either in cost or size. Wonsan is designed to host roughly a million passengers every year. That's a lot for the most isolated country on the planet, but it's still less than 10 percent of the traffic JFK sees every year.
Still, with current tourism levels where they are (read: nearly nil), this plan could be read as a sign that North Korea is set to relax their strict rules about foreign visitors. Or, you know, it could be read as a wildly speculative piece of spin. At the very least, the floor plan sends an encouraging message. [South China Morning Post]

Great product saw increase in MPG and HP very satisfied.
This is the second item I have bought from leeauto and will continue too. Always good customer service fast shipping. and product is exactly as described. Thanks for your great service.
Nice sound and boost in performance. MPG have increased by .5, too.
great product saw gains in power and gas mileage.
very easy install, great instructions. Makes my Titan sound a heck of a lot better. Gained fuel economy of about 1 mile per gallon highway. Nismo is the way to go!
I've been wanting this intake for my truck ever since i got it and when i came across the price that lee parts had i had to jump on it.
Install was easy. Should be more specific on initial oiling of the filter before use.
Nissan CAI arrived right on time. LeeParts processed and shipped the part on the same day that it was ordered. The CAI came with excellent instructions; I installed it myself, no helper, it took about 2.5hrs from start to finish to install and that included cleanup. The CAI provided an immediate difference in the Titans performance. I couldn't be more satisfied with the order process from LeeParts and with the Nismo CAI. Glad I bit the bullet and made the purchase on a great performance enhancement for the truck.

poured on smart watches and glasses, but neither takes us away from the visual/tactile-centric interface that we have been using since the introduction of the touch smartphone UI about six years ago," he said in a statement.
Bouzid calls voice the most natural, demanding interface. He maintains that as we become increasingly dependent on mobile devices, voice will become more important.
And he's not wasting any time. Xowi officially launched in June 2013 and a month later it already had a prototype of the Smart Voice Badge, a small wearable device that lets users make and receive phone calls, access weather and traffic information, send and receive text messages, hear Facebook and Twitter updates, bid on items on eBay, listen to RSS feeds, play music, dictate notes, and more, just by speaking and listening.
The Voice Badge pairs with the user's Android or iOS smartphone via a companion app and Bluetooth connection. A Microsoft Windows Phone version is due for release later this year. The badge is also compatible with any voice assistant already on the market.
While the device launched with support for many functions, Xowi also offers an open application programming interface that will enable developers to add functionality and content.
Prior to founding Xowi, Bouzid worked in product development at Genesys and Angel (acquired by Genesys in early 2013) and as an engineer at Tell-Eureka and Unisys. Today, he serves as senior director of business solutions at Genesys and has coauthored Don't Make Me Tap: A Common Sense Approach to Voice Usability, released in 2013.
Though still in the early stages of development, the Xowi product is already being met with anticipation.
Bill Scholz, president of the Applied Voice Input/Output Society, calls the Xowi badge "a well-thought-out and highly useful contribution to the wearable technology industry.
"Wearable computing is emerging as a significant new trend in our industry, and Xowi is superbly positioned to take full advantage of the growing enthusiasm in this area," he adds.

Q: preorder an array based binary search tree I am trying to preorder a BST
I am not sure how to do it.

A: You should consider a recursive approach rather than an iterative one.  Tree traversal (preorder, inorder, and postorder) is very easily done using recursion.
The Wikipedia article on tree traversal has a pseudocode recursive algorithm, but there's really not much to it.  Since you're storing the tree in an array, you won't have node pointers, just indices.
As for how you know when you reach the leaf nodes, well, their indices will be beyond the end of the array.

A: Doing a tree traversal is usually done with recursive functions because that is the most natural way to express the traversal.
Doing a pre-order traversal is pretty easy.  Ignoring the details, you have something like this:
void do_preorder(Tree t)
{
    // do something with the current tree node

    if (leftnode(t) not empty)
        do_preorder(leftnode(t));
    if (rightnode(t) not empty)
        do_preorder(rightnode(t))
}

If you want to be tricky, you can even create a generic traversal that allows you to choose the flavor (pre-order, in-order or post-order) at runtime:
void do_xorder(Tree t, Flavor f)
{
    if (f == PREORDER)
        handle_currentnode(t)

    if (leftnode(t) not empty)
        do_xorder(leftnode(t), f);

    if (f == INORDER)
        handle_currentnode(t)

    if (rightnode(t) not empty)
        do_xorder(rightnode(t), f)

    if (f == POSTORDER)
        handle_currentnode(t)

}

A: As per you code you can use (2i + 1) for left and (2i + 2) for right child.
My suggestion that you should start storing elements from index 1 in the array because you can store left child at ( 2 * i) index and right child at (2*i + 1) index .
And end of the left child can be easily found by checking whether ( 2*i > currSize ) is true.

All Good Things Must Come To An End
This is the smallest album of our trip, but it was a VERY long day….
We woke up at 4:30 am, straightened everything up, then by 5:05 am, we were leaving our room for the last time. We dragged our luggage across the street to the Skybus terminal. We had just missed one bus, but another one drove up about 10 minutes later.
We checked into our flights. We probably did not need to get to the airport as early as we did, but this way we were able to have a nice breakfast in the Virgin Australia lounge. This was probably one of the best airline lounges I have ever been to. Soon it was time to head to our flight. The lounge had its own security checkpoint which was pretty cool. We had first class seats on the flight to Sydney which was nice.
At Sydney, we arrived a little early. We were supposed to have about a 1:40 layover. We were directed to take a bus that would get us to the international terminal. We checked in to the bus and were told they run about every 10 minutes. About 30 minutes later we were boarding the bus (we and about 30 other passengers were not very happy). Then it turns out they were training our bus driver which meant for slow going. What I found very odd is the bus didn't drive across the airport. It actually left the airport and used the normal roads to get to the other terminal. It dropped us off at baggage claim. I told Cyn, if I had known this was going to happen, I would have had our Opal cards handy, and just taken the train. It probably would have been faster.
Now it was 40 minutes prior to departure.. I got stuck at immigration's automated kiosk (Cyn did not), then I got selected for random carry-on screening at security… Finally got to the gate, they were boarding Delta One, but of course, got stopped for security questioning. Finally, we were on board. We were in seats 4B/C. So both in the middle section so we could see each other in our lie flat seats 🙂.
Our meal choices were a bit fancy for me. Cyn had Balmain Bug, which is a small Australian lobster. I had the Thai chicken, which I did not like. The appetizer was okay. Mid-flight I had a hamburger. Breakfast was pretty good. I watched 2 movies but tried to sleep most of the flight (more resting then sleep). About 13 hours later we arrived at LAX with a 90-minute layover to get thru immigration and customs, walk to T3 after re-checking luggage and thru security For some reason did not get TSA precheck (but Cyn did). Did not bother with the club as the flight started boarding about 20 minutes later.
We were in first class from LAX to PDX, and arrived about 10 minutes early at 11:05 am, which was 5:05 am in Melbourne, exactly 24 hours ago we had left our AirBnB. We went over to Kenny & Zukes on concourse C to speak to our ride home. Emily was due to get off work in about 20 minutes. We then got our luggage, and Emily picked us up curbside, after getting Dutch Brothers.
We got home to a very excited puppy. Dylan was very happy, and even Nori the cat was happy.
Overall, I think even by my standards, this trip was the most epic ever. We did so much, saw and experienced so many things. However, we only scraped the surface of Australia, and there is more to New Zealand. We must go back someday. I love both of those countries!

Is Hummus Paleo or Not Allowed?
Is hummus Paleo or not? Hummus is often served up as a seemingly healthy dish, but if you're following the Paleo diet you'll want to take a pass when this gets passed around. It's good to remember that Paleo isn't a diet plan that says you can't have snacks, and you can't have good-tasting food, but you have to pick and choose which snacks you're having and make sure they don't include foods that violate the Paleo authorized foods list.
While the recipes vary, most hummus is made from mashing up chickpeas, mixing in some tahini, and then adding lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. The only real problem with hummus is that it's made from chickpeas, as as we'll soon see chickpeas are a no-go on Paleo. Below you'll find a workaround for how to make a delicious hummus style dip without using chickpeas so you can still get most of the flavor without worrying about going off track.
The Paleo diet isn't something that was just dreamt up by one person, it has its foundation based on how foods react with our digestive system, and excludes foods that give it trouble. The foods it allows have been shown to be well-tolerated by a large portion of the population, which makes sense since they're foods we've eaten for many tens of thousands of years. It looks to remove foods like dairy and grain from the diet because these are unnatural foods that we've only started eating relatively recently with the advent of cultivation and farming.
Once you start ignoring rules on Paleo it becomes a slippery slope. Ignore enough of the guidelines and then you're not really doing Paleo anymore, you're doing something else that isn't exactly Paleo, and won't get you the same sort of results. But this isn't the right mindset to get into. If you're viewing Paleo from a shortage mentality, focusing on the things you can't have, you're bound to fail, as this is the Achilles heel to even the most effective diet plans. You have to have an abundance mentality and focus on the fact that on Paleo you can pretty much have whatever your heart's desire, as long as you make it using Paleo-approved foods.
To make hummus Paleo friendly you've got to get rid of the chickpeas, which requires a little creativity, and we've seen everything from zucchini to cauliflower to macadamia nuts or cashews used to replicate the taste and texture. It may take a bit of trial and error on your part, but if you're a big fan of hummus and have been missing it on the Paleo diet it's worth the extra effort.
You can keep the tahini, as it's derived from sesame seeds. Use some lemon juice, sea salt, and organic freshly ground black pepper and you've got a dish that is somewhat like hummus but without anything in it that will slow down your Paleo progress.
Now the only question is what will you dip in your newly created chickpea-free hummus? May we suggest our amazing Paleo-friendly tortilla chips? They're awesome and taste great in hummus, guac, and salsa.
If you are going to eat regular hummus, be sure to make it yourself so you can have quality control over the ingredients. Barring that, opt for organic hummus if you're going to buy it from the store.
While eating hummus likely won't throw you off your Paleo track completely, it's still not an authorized food on Paleo, and isn't recommended for regular consumption. Luckily there are ways around it so that you can still enjoy hummus, you just have to think outside the chickpea. Again, it might not ruin your day, but if you're looking for the best results from following the Paleo plan, you actually have to stick to the plan and avoid foods that aren't authorized.

$337M Powerball winner plans to keep it real
Donald Lawson intends to do the typical lottery-winner stuff: Retire, take care of his family, travel, get a new place to live.
But the 44-year-old Michigan man insists his $337 million Powerball prize - the third-largest in Powerball history, and seventh-largest jackpot in U.S. history - won't change him.
"I'm a millionaire now, but I'll still go to McDonald's," Lawson told reporters Friday at the Michigan Lottery headquarters in Lansing, where he came forward to collect on the August 15 drawing. "I don't like filet mignon or lobster. I like the simple life, and that's what I want to continue to do."
Lawson, of Lapeer, was the sole winner of the August 15 prize. He chose the lump-sum cash option, which gives him $224.6 million, before tax, at once.
He said he quit his railroad engineer job after learning he won. He said he chose the winning numbers - 6, 27, 46, 51, 56 with a powerball of 21 - himself at a Sunoco gas station in Lapeer.
"I walked into the … station, and usually there ain't nobody up there, but there was a long line. But something from above - I do have to credit that - told me to go over there and pick my own numbers. I didn't pick them - my hand just went," Lawson said.
Lawson said his two children will now be set for college, and he told his close relatives to retire, "and they had no problem with that."
He said he plans to travel a lot, but for now, he's going to "go somewhere safe and think about (what to do) and go from there."
"This money won't last forever unless I use it right and budget it right. It's not a lot, $337 million," he joked, drawing laughter, before addressing the issue of taxes. "You all think it's tremendous amount, but I'm kind of pissed at Uncle Sam … you know?"
Eight other tickets won the $1 million Match 5 prize on August 15. Two of those tickets were bought in Indiana, and the others in Kansas, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Virginia, lottery officials said.
The game's largest prize to date was $365 million, which was awarded in 2006 to a group of eight co-workers at a Nebraska meat-packing plant.
That record drawing happened when the cost for a Powerball ticket was $1. In January, the price increased to $2, with officials saying it would lead to an increased number of large jackpots. At the same time, the odds improved somewhat because officials reduced the number of red balls, the powerballs, from 39 to 35.
At $337 million, the Powerball pot still has ways to go to catch MegaMillions at the top of the list of U.S. grand prizes. In March, three tickets were sold for a drawing with the top prize of $656 million.

Ring of Fire Dude
With that kind of money he could buy the Presidency just like Mitt Romney is trying to do .
Yo Mammy
Nice, Rang of Far. Good job. Keep on being a real m o r o n.
I agree with Yo Mammy, Romney's spent way more than $337 million trying to buy this presidency.
He needs to learn how to steal bailout money first, before becoming a real Republican candidate.
Ring of Fire, I agree with you.
I would do what I think anyone else would do. Buy a nice home, a nice vehicle, and help family members who need it. I'll donate 10% to the church, too. I wouldn't have to work again, but I would like to be able to volunteer my time into something that I wanted to support, such as volunteering at a pediatric hospital, etc.
LOL @ Ring of Fire Dude – so true...but seriously, "...I'll still go to McDonalds?" LOL

hey Mr Lawson since you won the lottery can i borrow $5 so i can buy a meal at Mcdonalds

"He said he quit his railroad engineer job after learning he won."
Then he's NOT keeping it real.
Doglover
He's keeping it real by allowing someone who needs the job to have it.
How is that NOT keeping it real? Why restrict yourself with a full time job if you are rolling in that kind of dough? Don't be a sourpuss. Just keep playing.
Seriously? You're going to keep eating McDonalds? You'd think he'd want to live longer to enjoy what the money can buy. Guess he's more interested in gastrointestinal distress and heart disease.

Pretty soon this guy is going to show up on "When keeping it real goes wrong". He's going to get stabbed at McDs or held hostage or something ridiculous.

The Bankstown Library and Knowledge Centre (BLaKC) is located in the heart of Bankstown, one of Sydney's western suburbs. Located at the corner of Rickard Road and Chapel Road, the Centre overlooks the Paul Keating Park which is a crucial part of the Bankstown Civic precinct.
The study areas on Level 1 were lit using direct indirect luminaires providing a comfortable well lit environment for study. One of the challenges faced to light similar study areas on Level 2 were high ceilings creating issues for access and maintenance and while lighting these spaces uniformly to the required light levels. Custom designed floor standing pedestal lights were developed providing localised lighting to the reading and other task areas. These luminaires was utilized in reading areas on Ground Floor to overcome issues of high ceilings with no feasible mounting locations through the void above.

From Monday 3 December 2018, the Alcohol Interlock Program will be extended to apply to all first-time, middle-range drink-driving offenders (a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, but less than 0.15). It will also apply to first time offenders convicted of driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. The program will continue to apply to all repeat and other serious drink-driving offences, which have been mandatory interlock offences since February 2015. The change means that interlocks are now required for all drink-driving offenders in NSW, unless the offence is a lower-range first-offence. See more info here.

It was, at first, an everyday love story about a boy meeting a girl at a party. There was a mutual attraction, a chance encounter on the street some years later and an eventual slide into greater intimacy. There were the usual conversations and cinema trips, a closeness forged through shared bottles of wine and home-cooked meals. But then the girl told the boy she had HIV and that was the moment it became something else, something altogether more complex.
'When she told me, I felt anger mixed with other emotions,' says Frederik Peeters, the 32-year-old graphic novelist who turned his experiences into a bestselling book. 'It's pity that's the worst. Anger is nothing because it leaves you after a while, but pity destroys the sense of being in love. I remember rebelling inside against the sense of something being so unjust.
Although he might find it difficult to put into words, in truth, I already know how Peeters reacted when his girlfriend, Cati, told him that both she and her three-year-old son were HIV positive. His graphic memoir, Blue Pills, recounts the moment she revealed this unexpected diagnosis with an unflinching precision, each minute detail drawn with tender exactitude.
In three consecutive frames, he is shown staring blankly out of the page, a cigarette drooping from the corner of his mouth, one arm resting on the kitchen table in front of him. It is the pictorial equivalent of a musical beat of complete silence and it conveys with such potency the confused profundity of his feelings that there seems little point in asking him to expand further in person. The pictures do all the talking.
When Blue Pills was first published seven years ago in Peeters' native Switzerland, it sold more than 20,000 copies, an extraordinary feat for a 192-page graphic book drawn entirely in black and white and narrating the bleak, daily advance of a serious illness. It won prizes at Europe's most prestigious comic book festivals and is being published in Britain later this month, the first time it has been translated into English.
It was partly down to good timing; over recent years, graphic novels have seen a surge in popularity, driven by internet word of mouth and big-screen adaptations, including the critically acclaimed American Splendor in 2003 which told the story of cartoonist Harvey Pekar's struggle with lymphatic cancer.
Peeters started drawing his story when he was 25, as a personal diary. Three years previously, he had given up his 'detested' job as a graphic designer to try his hand at writing comic books. He took a day job as an airport porter to make ends meet. In the evenings, he would come back to his Geneva apartment and draw the gradual narrative of his relationship with Cati and her son, referred to throughout as 'the little one'. The names in the book are almost all pseudonyms; at first, both Peeters and Cati were worried about reactions to the book from friends and colleagues (in real life, Cati is a teacher) but then, with each subsequent translation, Peeters decided to keep the names as they were 'because that way, it could be anyone's story'. For the same reason, Peeters refuses to be drawn on how Cati contracted HIV.
Initially, even Peeters was unsure precisely what he wanted to say. The first four pages of the book are abstract doodles, drawn from imagination as Peeters focuses his mind on how to tell his story. Then, when he takes up the narrative, he does so with a poetic economy of expression, alternately wry and sad. The disease proves to be a curious combination of stomach-churning terror and relentless, mundane routine.
In one sequence, Cati is shown exhaustively checking her gums each morning for signs of bleeding. In another, Peeters discusses the best brand of condom with a baffled male friend (Manix Infini 002, for those of a curious mindset). The daily routines, the frequent hospital visits, the incomprehension of Cati's son when he first starts swallowing antiretroviral drugs, mashed up in his breakfast-time yoghurt: all these are rendered on the page with a compassionate clarity that could only come from experience.
In the end, only one panel was altered before publication: a New York skyscape drawn before 9/11 that had originally featured the Twin Towers. And although the names are false, the physical depiction of the characters is absolutely spot on. I recognise Peeters immediately from his drawings of himself - the same solid angles, slightly hunched shoulders and skewed, quiet smile. The only difference is that he wears spectacles in the drawings and contact lenses in person; rather charmingly, he apologises for this when we meet.
But although people and places are recognisably themselves in the book, there are also moments of inventive visual genius. When, one night, the condom breaks, Peeters and Cati are pitched into a state of undiluted anxiety. The next day, they frantically make an appointment with their doctor only to be told cheerfully that Peeters has 'as much chance of catching Aids as you have of running into a white rhinoceros on your way out'. Two panels later, a giant rhino has suddenly appeared behind their heads, its tusk looming ridiculously between them. It perfectly encapsulates both the ever-present threat of disease and the momentary ludicrousness of their situation.
Slowly, Peeters says, they all just learnt to live with the rhino in the room. After several years of experimenting with various drugs, Cati's doctors hit on a successful combination. The virus, which attacks the body's immune system leaving it increasingly incapable of fighting off disease, is now dormant in her bloodstream but she remains perpetually cautious. Peeters' family and friends have been supportive. His parents were 'totally non-judgmental. They were more concerned for her'. Cati's son, who has yet to read the book, is now 11 and they also have a healthy four-year-old daughter, born by Caesarean to minimise the risk of infection through blood.
How do they explain the illness to their children? 'We tell them the truth. We keep it very simple and we say it will never leave, it will be there all your life but that it's under control,' says Peeters. 'There's a boy in one of their classes who has diabetes and that's far more complicated to live with. In a way, they've grown up with it, so it's normal to them. It will be more difficult when they start dealing with their own sexuality.
Yet despite its invisibility, Peeters has given this silent illness a powerful visual language of its own, one that manages to be eloquent, accessible and occasionally humorous. It is almost as if, by articulating his daily experience of the disease, it lost its power to terrify. It became, once more, an ordinary love story of boy meets girl, albeit one where a rhinoceros makes the occasional appearance.


Potbelly competes in the fast-casual space alongside larger rivals includingPanera Bread andChipotle.
The sandwich brand reported strong earnings on Nov. 3, but did not see a major gain in share price until Nov. 16, when it began a mostly steady climb, finishing the month at $12.47. That gave it an 11.3% gain for November, according toS&P Capital IQdata.
Panera's graph looks a lot like Potbelly's. Data source: YCharts.com.
So what:If diners avoid Chipotle, they will probably spend their eating-out dollars elsewhere. Potbelly, Panera, and Qdoba are all likely to be beneficiaries.
"Chipotle's pain will be Panera's gain," wrote Stephen Anderson of Maxim Group, in a report cited by CNN Money.
The analyst noted that it won't just be Panera that benefits but other fast-casual concepts will profit from the problems facing what has been the standard bearer for the category. He did not mention Potbelly specifically, but it makes sense that the brand that pushes higher-quality sandwiches would be one of the recipients.
Now what: While many analysts predict that Chipotle will have a rough quarter or two, history suggests that consumers forget about things like E. coli scares relatively quickly. That's ultimately good news for shareholders of the Mexican eatery, but it's a bit of a warning for shareholders in companies experiencing a bump from CMG's woes.

Q: How to allow clients to manage their website? I do small websites for local companies. All I know is HTML5 and CSS3, no JavaScript, no PHP.
I have this client who wants me to make a website for his coffee shop. All good so far. I have an idea for a beautiful responsive design which will get his coffee shop a lot of fame.
The problem:
The guy wants to be able to manage his website, meaning: he wants to add a photo if he needs to, or even some text on a particular page. He doesn't want to depend on me so he wants to do it by himself. The problem is that I can't teach him HTML so he would download the HTML file and write the code for the desired thing.. I need to do beautiful websites for my portfolio.
No Wordpress: I don't like Wordpress because it's limited so I can't be creative with the design. I thought of that as being the only solution requiring his needs.
I'm willing to learn more: if there is a solution that I could implement in one month or two, I will do this and learn what is needed, but can't learn PHP in two months.
Any advice?

A: You might find that CushyCMS does what you want. From the site:

*

*Allow clients to safely edit content

*No software to install, no programming required

*Takes just a few minutes to setup

*Define exactly which parts of the page can be changed

*Produces standards compliant, search engine friendly content

From experience, a couple of downsides:

*

*No choice of editor

*You have to add pages that can be edited - the client cannot create new pages.


Educators know that family support is vital to a student's success. Studies show a strong and powerful correlation between parent involvement and their child's GPA, graduation rate, test scores, and social skills. Teachers themselves rate family support in education as the most important factor in a student's success, ahead of their own teaching skill, according to our recent survey.
To create effective family support in education, parents and teachers need trust and a real person-to-person connection. Unfortunately, most of the purpose-built communication tools that have recently emerged do not enhance and support the parent-teacher relationship. While they are effective at replacing piles of paper flyers and email communications with real-time digital options, they don't address the heart of the issue – building strong relationships between parents and teachers.
Despite growing adoption of communication tools, parent engagement appears to be going in the wrong direction in recent years. According to data compiled from various sources by Child Trends DataBank, "Parental involvement in school, as measured by attendance at a general meeting, a meeting with a teacher, or a school event, or by volunteering or serving on a committee, rose significantly between 1999 and 2007, but fell on most measures in 2012." Have we been limiting the personal connection with the adoption of technology versus trying to find ways to enhance it instead?
Improving parent engagement requires a deeper person-to-person connection. Tools that offer parent-teacher communication can help keep parents better informed, but they don't provide the needed connectivity to get parents engaged in their child's education. These applications serve as a news feed or bulletin board of events rather than a platform for building sustainable relationships.
Schools need to fully engage parents by showing they care and building relationships based on the parents' interests and needs. Parents want to feel that they have opportunities to contribute that are meaningful to them. They want to know that there is a real person behind the app that cares about their child's education as much as they do.
Real world education requires real world interaction between teachers and parents. That is why programs such as "The Parent Teacher Home Visit Project" have been so successful. They are building trust and respect, instilling cultural competency and increasing personal and professional capacity for all involved.
Technology does have a powerful role to play if it can contribute to building a deeper relationship between parents and teachers. For example at ClassTag, parents can share their interests and skills, helping teachers learn more about them and invite them to the classroom to share their stories with the students.
Ewelina, a 1st-grade parent, shared her frustration of being called upon to participate in her daughter's school activities. "It was never anything I had an interest in or that fit my talents, so I begrudgingly participated or skipped altogether," says Ewelina. After sharing her interests, Ewelina was asked to visit his daughter's class one morning to discuss her occupation. Ewelina is a brand manager and was delighted to participate and talk about the power of storytelling. Ordinarily, parents are asked to participate in activities that are out of their area of knowledge or comfort zone. But when teachers know a parent's interests, they have the opportunity to involve them in a way that benefits the children and is meaningful to the parents as well. Every parent has something unique to contribute, opening new realms of possibilities and role models to the children.
At its core, effective parent engagement is about helping children learn and grow in the classroom and at home. It is about bringing everyone closer together by making it easy for parents to know what the child is learning and opening up meaningful opportunities for parents to participate. It is about building a warm and caring environment where parents and teachers are partners. Isn't that what we all want for the children.

When he was 10 years old, Matt Ionna started riding a BMX bike.
By the time he was 11, he had discovered how to go airborne. He said he would spend six to 10 hours a day tearing through the dirt trails of a subdivision being built in Crestview.
His father left when he was young. His mother worked multiple jobs, and his grandmother helped out when she could.
On his bike, Ionna said he was able to ride far away from the hurt.
"I would just ride those trails all day because in the end, home felt like such a tragic place to go to," Ionna said.
"I was safe on my bicycle, even if I was out at 3 in the morning on Short Vine in Clifton," Ionna said. "I was safe on it.
NORWOOD, Ohio -- Matt Ionna sits cross-legged on a rich, wooden floor, his arms stretched toward the ceiling.
His fingers are spread open as if they're being pulled apart. His gaze is fixed between his open palms.
He breathes so deeply it sounds like he is speaking.
"The descent to hell is easy," he says. "But to make one's way -- to retrace the steps up, out into the golden air -- that is difficult. And this is the work."
Perhaps no one knows what it means to do "the work" quite like Ionna. Ionna has a decades-long history of drug addiction, but he says that's not his story.
The 42-year-old now sponsors dozens of men and teaches yoga at True Freedom Recovery Yoga.
But it took him a long time to get here.
"If you have what I have, you know how you get here ... if you're an addict, there's no perfect combination for how you become an addict, you know? It just is," Ionna said.
Years of working labor-intensive jobs paired with degenerative disc disease left Ionna virtually crippled. He said he started using prescription medications when he injured his back in 1999, but he didn't know he was addicted for a really long time.
"I was literally digging through the sharps container on the wall to get the half-empty vials of Dilaudid and stuff out of it, six hours after having my back screwed together," Ionna said. "That type of unstoppable force. Like someone trying to hold their hand over your mouth, and you can still draw a breath ... That's the power that addiction has."
He said he used for the last time on Dec. 4, 2011 after a near-fatal overdose.
"And I had never, since I was a child and a teenager on my BMX bike, I hadn't felt that since then. I felt a connection to something that came from in me, and it wasn't using drugs."
He went to a rehabilitation facility in southern Florida, where he first experienced yoga. He said he remembers standing with his palms facing forward, concentrating on feeling the warmth of sunshine on his skin.
"They're leading us through this practice, super gentle stuff," Ionna said. "But when you've been cut apart and sewn back together and you have scar tissue and nerve damage, (it's hard).
"The pain was there, and it was horrific -- but all of a sudden, I felt something really, really good for the first time ever inside myself. And I had never, since I was a child and a teenager on my BMX bike, I hadn't felt that since then. I felt a connection to something that came from in me, and it wasn't using drugs."
Yoga has been a part of Ionna ever since. He said yoga, coupled with 12-step recovery, propelled him forward.
"It took a while, but I realized that it was my practice, so it was something personal, something deeply personal, and it didn't matter what the person next to me was doing," Ionna said. "It's my journey, my path and it's contained on a 2-by-6 yoga mat."
He said a man he sponsors is one of the best fathers he's ever seen.
"Just to see him in the presence of his child is magical and beyond that," Ionna said. "So that's why I do this. It's like, why wouldn't I do this? It's like living in a fairytale, it really is, coming from where I've come from."
In 2013, Ionna started taking teacher training classes at True Freedom Recovery Yoga. He said it was his way of "freely giving back what was given" to him.
Now, Ionna is a 500-hour yoga alliance accredited teacher. He has taken yoga to hundreds of people in treatment facilities across Greater Cincinnati -- from the Center for Addiction Treatment Downtown to the Grateful Life Center in Erlanger.
He also teaches at True Freedom's studio in Norwood.
"We'll have people out of prison, we'll have them come here. We'll have women from local halfway houses, single mothers who were homeless, all walks of life," Ionna said. "We'll have business owners, executives -- all types of people, school teachers. We'll have Norwood City school teachers come. It's badass."
You don't have to be in recovery to come to True Freedom. Ionna often begins class by asking students whether they want a more tranquil or vigorous session.
For Ionna's student Nathan Lautz, class is a time to focus on his recovery.
The 32-year-old said it wasn't until after college that he became addicted to opiates. He had bought pain medication from someone who lived in his hometown of southeast Indiana the summer before graduation. He said he was able to stop -- somehow -- long enough to finish school, and he graduated from Purdue University with a degree in psychology and philosophy in 2008. But he moved back home, where drugs were easily accessible, and soon became addicted to OxyContin.
He bounced around from job to job. He worked construction for a while, and then he laid tile. Around the same time, he traded OxyContin for heroin.
He said he eventually began using intravenously.
"I had all these hopes and dreams as a high school student and an undergrad to go get my Ph.D. and be a professor and all of these grand ideas and things I wanted to do, and now I'm living in mom's basement, shooting heroin, working these dead-end jobs with no future," Lautz said. "I had no happiness, and I had no hope."
Lautz said he let go of his dreams because they were too painful to think about.
He went to a treatment facility in Indianapolis, but he said he wasn't ready "to accept what they had to offer." He'd sneak in substances to help him through detox and to help him sleep at night. He went back a second time in a desperate attempt to keep his job, he said.
"I wasn't ready to go to treatment at that time. I had already tried, and I was just like, 'Screw it, I'm just gonna die this way,'" Lautz said.
He said his life got to a point where it was unmanageable. He needed drugs -- morning, noon and night -- in in order to function. He overdosed in his mother's home, and he was arrested in January 2016 for paraphernalia.
"It was the best thing that could have happened to me," Lautz said. "I was just so worn out and sick of being sick, sick of using my loved ones for money and just sick of the life, but I couldn't find a way out of it ... I was locked behind bars where I couldn't get to drugs -- I just physically couldn't, and that was a blessing."
Once he was released, he went to the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center in Norwood, where he stayed for six months. During that time, a friend would pick him up every Friday and bring him to yoga.
Lautz said he did gymnastics and taekwondo as a child, but yoga brought out something completely different in him.
Meditation and mindfulness are essential components of recovery, Lautz said, and yoga helps him recognize cravings and feelings of attachment.
"We just go through our day in auto pilot and our mind is doing all of these things, and we don't even know it," Lautz said. "When you stop and meditate, you can start to see how your mind is doing those things, and it's fascinating. You can see the feelings that arise and stop hiding from them and realize that it's not so scary. It's not something you have to hide from."
Lautz met Ionna about a year ago. He said Ionna, with his long beard and tattoos, didn't look like the "stereotypical yoga person," but he embodied peace and kindness.
"There are certain people I've met that, just a sense of inner peace radiates from them and their personality and the way they act and talk to others, and it's not some contrived kindness or mask that they're putting on, it's something they feel in their bones," Lautz said.
"I sensed that from him and have from the beginning. He's one of the people I've met that I can look up to and admire and try to find some of what he has, that inner peace and contentment that isn't just beneficial for him, it's something he shares with other people, and I respect that. I look up to that."
Ionna says it's people like Lautz who motivate him to push through the pain.
Like Ionna, Lautz said he feels called to teach yoga. He plans to enroll in teacher training class at True Freedom. Though he's not credentialed yet, he teaches a small class at the Lord's Gym in Covington.
Every Tuesday at 2 p.m., a group of men gather for Lautz's class in a boxing ring in the center of the gym.
"I just want to spread joy and contentment to as many people as I can. That's an opportunity," Lautz said. "If I can make one person happy, then I did something."
Over the past year, Lautz said he's revived his dreams and aspirations.
He wants to continue studying the brain as it relates to meditation and mindfulness practices. He said he might pursue studying yoga or addiction science.
"I don't know where I'll be a year from now. I mean, who knows, and that's exciting too," Lautz said. "I can kind of just do the next right thing ... and I'll end up where I'm supposed to be."
Ionna said his goal for next year is to take yoga into more communities across Greater Cincinnati.
Ionna said he gets so much out of teaching yoga, he sometimes feels selfish.
"I feel like I've gotten back to what's always been here, to what I've worked so hard to cover up for so long. I felt worthless ... for 30 years of my life -- like I didn't matter -- and today I know that I do," Ionna said.
Just as Ionna has given out two, three and five-year medallions, his sponsor awarded him a six-year medallion for his anniversary Thursday.
"That's a huge day, but I've learned to celebrate the hell out of every day ... I walk around goofy. Life's really, really good, even when it's really, really bad. I just can't see myself doing this any other way."

Q: Why boost::program_options::bool_switch is not behaving like I expect? Code below uses po::bool_switch(&flag) in hope of automatically assigning the correct value to flag.
My compile command is clang++ -std=c++11 test.cpp -o test -lboost_program_options
So I run the program with ./test -h which shows no help message.
Why so?
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/program_options.hpp>

namespace
{
  namespace po = boost::program_options;
}

int main(int ac, char ** av)
{
  bool flag;

  po::options_description help("Help options");

  help.add_options()
    ( "help,h"
    , po::bool_switch(&flag)->default_value(false)
    , "produce this help message" );

  po::variables_map vm;

  po::parsed_options parsed
    = po::parse_command_line(ac,av,help);

  po::store(po::parse_command_line(ac,av,help),vm);

  if (flag)
  {
    std::cout << help;
  }
  po::notify(vm);

  return 0;
}

A: You should call notify after parsing and storing arguments. store just fills in internal data structures of variables_map. notify publishes them.
Your example is nearly exactly like the one in "Getting started section" in tutorial.
And here they give a pretty bold warning not to forget it:

Finally the call to the notify function runs the user-specified notify functions and stores the values into regular variables, if needed.
Warning:
Don't forget to call the notify function after you've stored all parsed values.

This should work:
po::variables_map vm;
po::parsed_options parsed
  = po::parse_command_line(ac,av,help);
po::store(po::parse_command_line(ac,av,help),vm);
po::notify(vm); // call after last store, and before accesing parsed variables

if (flag)
{
  std::cout << help;
}

The White House's measures to freeze PDVSA's U.S. assets, including proceeds from oil exports, and limit the company's transactions are an attempt to largely cut off Maduro's access to oil revenue that accounts for most of the country's income in hard currency.
"If the people in Venezuela want to continue to sell us oil, as long as the money goes into blocked accounts we will continue to take it. Otherwise, will we not be buying it," Mnuchin told reporters in Washington on Monday.
U.S. national security adviser John Bolton said the sanctions would block $7 billion in PDVSA's assets "plus over $11 billion in lost export proceeds over the next year."
Venezuela exports about 500,000 barrels of oil daily to the United States, mostly to Citgo and refineries owned by Valero Energy Corp and Chevron Corp . The country's production has dropped in recent years to about 1.4 million barrels a day because of economic mismanagement and lack of investment.
The sanctions do not prohibit deals between PDVSA and major U.S. oil-companies operating in Venezuela, including Chevron, Halliburton Co and Schlumberger NV . It does, however, prevent U.S. firms from exporting certain oil products Venezuela needs to blend with its own crude for sale elsewhere.
Attempting to redirect funds to Guaido's team could give him maneuverability in the short term as appointing new boards at PDVSA and Citgo could take a long time, according to experts.
Frank Holder, the head of Berkeley Research Group's Latin American practice, said Guaido could face difficulties in appointing a Citgo board against the wishes of its parent.
But Guaido's team may try a number of things, even if they are unlikely to work, because "politically it shows he is trying to do something, that he has power," Holder said.
Citgo also faces a July deadline to refinance its revolving credit, a task that could be delayed because of sanctions affecting the subsidiary's ability to access to credit.
