About Kambo ES
Each tribe has its own legend or story about how they came to use Kambo. The most prevalent legend comes from Brazil…
The Origins of Kambo
This Kaxinawá legend tells that the Indians of the tribe were very ill and their medicine man (Pajé in Brazil) had done everything that was possible to cure them. All medicinal herbs known were used, but none helped.
Under the effect of sacred plant medicines, he entered the forest and whilst there received a visit from a female spirit of the forest.
She brought in her hands a frog, from which she took a white secretion, and taught the Pajé how to apply it. Returning to the tribe and following the guidelines he had received, the Pajé was able to cure his brothers and sisters. From then on he was known as Pajé Kampu or Kampum.
After his death, his spirit lived on in the frog, where it continued its mission to protect the health of those who defend the forest. The secretion became known as Kambo but in some tribes it is called Sapo, Dow-Kiet, Kampu or Vacina da Floresta.
Usage spread, and for thousands of years, Kambo has been used as medicine by the Kaxinawá people, and by many other indigenous groups including the Amahuaca, Katukina, Kulina, Yawanawá, Matses, Marubo and Mayoruna. It is still used widely amongst indigenous people in the Amazon to this day.
The first observations of Kambo use were made by a French priest, Father Constantin Tastevin in 1925 whilst he was staying with the Kaxinawá tribe in the upper Juruá River in Brazil. In the 1980's an American Anthropologist, Katherine Milton described Kambo use among the Mayoruna tribe in Brazil and in the 1980s Peter Gorman wrote about his experiences taking Kambo with the Matses tribe in Peru.
During the 1990's, rubber tappers in Brazil learned about Kambo from the Amazon Indians. They began to take it out into the towns of Acre and apply it themselves. Having spent several years living with the Katukina, Francisco Gomes from Cruzeiro do Sol was one of the first people to pioneer the use of Kambo outside the Amazon. The practice spread and soon people in the larger cities of Brazil were using Kambo.
In 2004, ANVISA, the Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária in Brazil prohibited any advertising of the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of Kambo. This was in response to representation made to the Brazilian government by the Katukina people with regard to intellectual property rights. Aside from this restriction, Kambo is legal everywhere in the world.
What is Kambô?
Kambo is a secretion from one of the largest Hylid frogs known as the Giant Green Monkey Tree Frog. Its scientific name is Phyllomedusa Bicolor. The secretion is not a sweat nor a poison in the sense that it alone is not capable of causing death or illness. In the Amazon, it is regarded as a medicine however this should not be confused with the western definition of a medicine. Kambo is not a medicine and those that administer it are practitioners and not doctors
Phyllomedusa Bicolor
The frog is nocturnal and arboreal and due to the fact that it has no natural predators is found in abundance across the Upper Amazon rainforest areas of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, French Guiana, Suriname and Venezuela. The IUCN database continually lists them in the 'Least Concern' category in view of their wide distribution and large population. The only known threats to this species of frog at the moment are spawn predation and the potential destruction of their habitat.
They are large frogs, the male bodies being between 9-10 cm and the females 11-12cm. The dorsum is a vibrant green and the belly a creamy white. They have dark spots on the chest, flank and legs. Reproduction occurs throughout the year, peaking between November and May. They construct hanging nests from folded leaves 1-3 metres above ponds and streams. The females deposit a gelatinous mass containing their eggs into these nests. Theirs is the largest spawn found amongst arboreal frogs of the Amazon. A single spawn contains on average 1000 eggs from which tadpoles emerge within 11-14 days. No one is 100% certain what the catalyst for producing the secretion is but it is widely believed to be sequestered from their diet. This is why the frogs do not produce their secretion when they are removed from their natural environment.
Kambo Science
An Italian scientist, Vittorio Erspamer of the University of Rome was the first person to analyse Kambo in a laboratory. In 1986, he wrote that it contains a 'fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequalled by any other amphibian'.
The chemicals he referred to are peptides. The peptides studied by Erspamer have become essential to characterize the functional role of opioid receptors. He was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize and was also the person who first discovered Serotonin. Sixteen peptides have since been isolated from the secretion and several have been synthesised. Currently there are over 70 Kambo patents lodged, mainly in the USA.
The popularity and use of Kambo as a natural support to healing is spreading worldwide. As the scientific research into the secretion of the Phyllomedusa Bicolor grows, skilled practitioners are also developing new ways to work with this powerful substance from the Amazonian Rain Forest, which allows it to be accessible to almost everyone in a safe and manageable way.
Not only do we now have a number of different traditional ways to take Kambo but we can also work with the Meridians, the Chakras, Nadis and Marma Points and even the ears – Auricular Kambo. Added to this, there are also new techniques to allow people to take Kambo in a way that is gentler on their system but still allows them to enjoy the maximum benefits.

Kambo is very safe when given by a properly trained practitioner. However there are some conditions for which Kambo is contraindicated.
This is not an exhaustive list so its important to consult a properly trained and skilled practitioner if you have any concerns. Suitability for Kambo may occasionally depend on the constitution of the person receiving Kambo.
We contraindicate people who:
Have serious heart problems or who have had heart surgery. This includes a Pacemaker but excludes Stents
Have had a stroke or a brain haemorrhage
Have an aneurism or blood clot
Are recovering from a major surgical procedure with internal stitches
Are on medication for low blood pressure (High Blood Pressure is usually fine)
Lack the mental capacity to make the decision to take Kambo
Have serious mental health problems, excluding depression, PTSD and anxiety
Are undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or have done so within the last 4 weeks
Take immune-suppressants after organ transplant
Have Addison's Disease
Have current and severe epilepsy
Are recovering from a major surgical procedure
Have certain types of EDS
Are pregnant or maybe so or are breast-feeding a child under 6 months old.


Due to massive competition from all corners, the online casino business is a serious challenge nowadays. It's no wonder why you'll come across lucrative deals like the £10 no deposit bonus in plenty of gaming sites. Such campaigns are launched so that gaming sites can stay attractive for all players who are looking for an online gaming spot. Ironically, even the sites that are designed, developed and presented in the best way possible, don't always bring the profitability that is anticipated by the owners. And according to most professionals from the gaming industry, traffic in an online casino is a serious issue that shouldn't be taken lightly.
Essentially, any online business is founded on providing goods or services. And these items on offer in the site attract users to either browse through or use what the site offers. The users coming to the site are what is referred to as traffic.
On the same note, creating an online gaming site and filling it with exceptional games is just half of what you need to do to boost traffic to your site. The other half involves attracting as much quality traffic as possible. Quality traffic specifically means a steady number of active players who spend time on your site using the kind of services you offer.
So, in the online gaming business, there are effective ways of how betting brands can skyrocket their traffic through the best online marketing practices.
You should add more enticing bonuses which other potential players will find more profiting. For example, besides your normal welcome bonus, you can throw in a couple more perks such as free spins, no deposit promos, and even redeemable comp points for both new and ongoing members of the site.
Engaging your target traffic is one of the most important ways to increase its quality. There are plenty of proven ways you can implement to engage your traffic today. Here's a quick look at some of the most effective traffic engagement techniques.
This is a highly trusted information format that many internet users rely on. Even though the ranking positions ultimately brings the neutral stand of the casinos, you can still buy a position in the ranks to stay among the top. Through proper SEO practices such as optimisation for the right keywords, your site can stay at the top of the search results on search engines like Google. That way, when users are looking for a casino online, your site comes as one of the first results, thereby increasing your chances of getting a new member.
These days, there are many high-profile blogs as well as critic websites which are exceedingly trusted sources of information by the internet users. You can contact one of those sites and settle on a good review of your site from online marketing professionals.
There are several ways you can exploit of getting backlinks free for your casino site. You can start writing good comments in the comment section of player forums, publish good posts in casino-related websites, blogs, and also on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, as well as Quora, and Reddit. In the posts, you add the link of your website so that gamers who find the information useful know where to go. You should also register your casinos in every possible catalogue you can get your hands on.
This is a service where payment is charged every time your website link is clicked. If your site is still new, PPC is the most effective way of gaining more traffic because it will earn you more click-through within a short period.
For a fact, players usually love to communicate with each other online to share gambling experiences, ideas and impressions. You should create your forum where people can chat with each other, and through the users, you can find clear-cut ways of how you can improve your casino's user experience.
Videos have been considered to be the easiest way of sharing content online, even when compared to text. You should, therefore, create video tutorials on YouTube for players whenever you have added something new and share the link to your players on your forum. It will be acknowledged quickly by users hence improving user engagement to your site. Webinars also have the same effect.
To take part in external events like Exhibitions, Summits, Roundtable Discussions, forums among others, give you a great opportunity to see how the market is structured from a different perspective, and also to put your company forward so that potential players may recognise it.
Attention: generally, a website should have an original, memorable and vivid design. In today's internet age, a standard design will not attract any attention from your users, and your site will look outdated to them.
Interest: give your users what they are longing for: newest games, very interesting bonus programs, among other cool stuff that generates interest.
Desire: you should trigger desires by necessary calls to action that have bright pictures, enticing live animations, and also add logos of well-known software developers too.
Action: leading the readers/users to action by for instance; playing the games or claiming the bonuses.
All these are proven methods that are used even by the biggest of online casinos. If you use them the right way, you will start to see significant changes to your site regarding quality traffic. However, you should remember to apply all the techniques consistently to ensure steady traffic without abrupt ups and downs.

Android News / Google & Fitbit To Work Together On Driving Health Forward
Google & Fitbit To Work Together On Driving Health Forward
By Justin Diaz
Google and Fitbit will work together on driving health forward as the two companies have officially announced that a collaboration is underway. For Fitbit this means utilizing Google's Cloud Healthcare API, which could lead to more personalized care for patients from doctors as the API would allow Ftibit to deeper integrate itself into the healthcare system and link Electronic Medical Records with its own user data, thus giving doctors a better picture of the patient's health in real-time in addition to the collected data from the records, which in turn could lead doctor's to provide overall better care..
Google's Cloud Healthcare API will also be powering Fitbit's Twine Health platform that it acquired through its purchase of Twine Health earlier this year. According to Fitbit the Cloud Healthcare API will make it easier for doctors and patients to work together on health improvement. Fitbit also says the collaboration will allow it to ramp up the efficiency of its operations and its speed to market with new devices and services. For consumers that translates to the company being able to release devices at a more rapid pace. This would mean that Fitbit could scale products faster and release them to market quicker than before, giving consumers more options to choose from
While part of this collaboration is about helping Fitbit advance its integration into the healthcare system it's also about advancing the future of wearables. Though no specifics were mentioned about any particular products, Fitbit does state that together, it and Google will be using the strengths that both companies are bringing to the table to "transform the future of wearables." This suggests that at the very least Fitbit is optimistic and excited about what it can do with wearables products going forward now that it will have Google's assistance in the cloud computing and data departments. Fitbit says that by collaborating with Google and leveraging its Cloud Healthcare API, it will allow the company to maintain its standards on protecting user data.

When Cancer Came Knocking
How One Family Answered
Reverend Stephen Garrett
One in three people in North America will be directly affected by cancer in their lives, but how we deal with the emotional and spiritual impacts of the disease is rarely discussed. It's time that changed.
Cancer hit the Garrett family as an unwelcome guest and shattered the life of the author's brother, Peter. In this raw and moving account of his brother's illness, Stephen Garrett looks at the emotional impact of the disease, and how its effects rippled far beyond the hospital walls. Each chapter reflects on part of Peter's six-year walk through the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, and includes reflections from loved ones as they navigated the changing family dynamic. It is an intimate and raw look at what happens during the struggle with cancer and ultimately the death of a treasured family member.
This remarkable journey is part tribute to the author's brother and part reminder that the process of grieving is natural and personal. It seeks to reframe the concepts of grief and loss to help show death as a source of inspiration that can help us live a better, fuller, and more complete life. Peter's story is filled with humor, authenticity, love, and compassion, and stands as a firm reminder to value those around us while we can.

31 Days to Scare ~ Wolfen
by Joe 31 Days to Scare, Down from the Shelf, Movie Review	• Tags: 1981, Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Edward James Olmos, Gregory Hines, logo, Michael Wadleigh, Orion, Studio, Warner Brothers, Whitley Streiber, Wolfen
Synopsis: A New York cop investigates a series of brutal deaths that resemble animal attacks.
Stars: Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Gregory Hines, Edward James Olmos
Director: Michael Wadleigh
Rated: R
Running Length: 115 minutes
TMMM Score: (8.5/10)
Review: I hang my head in shame as I write this blog post. You see, I'm pretty ashamed that this excellent film wasn't on my radar sooner because if it had, I'd have been able to recommend it to friends over the years. My love of horror films being what it is, I can't for the life of me figure out how it evaded me for the past three decades. Stopping my shame spiral now, I'm here to sing the praises of Wolfen, an underrated 80's film that's part horror and part meditation on urban expansion.
Hold up…wait a second…don't run away…the urban expansion part fits in nicely with the thriller elements and acts as a warning much like the monster films of the 50's and 60's warned against the dangers of nuclear testing.
1981 saw the release of three impressive horror movies about wolves…two of which have become part of the horror lexicon since their release. As strong a film as The Howling and An American Werewolf in London are, I was more impressed with the angle that Wolfen took in telling its tale. True, it's easy to see why those two films are popular today among horror enthusiasts with both capitalizing on state of the art special effects and a healthy amount of gore. Wolfen may be light on outright gore but it has no shortage of tense moments and disturbing imagery.
When three people are brutally slain in NYC's Battery Park, veteran copy Dewey Wilson (Finney) is brought on the case that has high profile written all over it. He's joined by new partner Rebecca Neff (Venora) who specializes in forensic psychology much to the amusement of Wilson. Theirs is a fairly routine relationship in that they argue a bit, laugh a bit, and eventually wind up in an embrace. Still, for 1981, Neff is a strong-willed cop…even if she's costumed a bit too upscale at times.
Hines shines as hip medical examiner Whittington that can't figure out exactly how these murders were committed…until similar canine hairs are found on and in a growing number of victims in the city. The investigation will take Wilson, Neff, and Whittington to various desolate corners of the slums of NYC and to meetings with a group of Native Americans that may have insight into the attacks.
Adapted from Whitley Strieber's hit novel, the film can't quite make sense of a Native American mysticism slant but it does give it one hell of an effort. Taken on its own merit, it's an interesting take on an oft-told tale of territoriality and how far people will go to protect their land. It's not hard to see that the novel and film are trying to show parallels between the plight of the Native American and the wolves…the thinly veiled statement comes through loud and clear but thankfully doesn't get preachy and dilute the good will it builds.
Behind the camera, it's reported that Wolfen was troublesome. The only non-documentary film from director Wadleigh (who helmed the landmark Woodstock films), it's a shame that the director didn't do more feature films. If they were all crafted with the skill and dexterity of Wolfen, he may have been a director that would still be working today. The film went way over its shooting schedule, finishing up filming over a year after it began. The particular 'wolf-vision' technique took a while to perfect but it works like a charm in the finished product. James Horner's note-perfect score is a character unto itself…and it's hard to believe he was brought in as a last-minute replacement and wrote the score in 12 days. Movie-goers with good ears will easily pick out parts of the score that Horner recycled for Aliens five years later.
Finney is an unusual choice for this role but he was the one the director wanted (Wadleigh flat out refused to let Dustin Hoffman have the role despite his repeated pleadings for it) and he gives the film a touch of class that it needed to elevate itself from its sister films. Wadleigh used a lot of NYC actors to complete the cast and all contribute interesting character choices – typical of stage actors making their screen debut with little screen time.
With a terrific atmosphere (check out the shiver-inducing realistic details introduced in several morgue scenes), beautiful cinematography, a tense score, and skilled performances, Wolfen can't be recommended higher if you're looking for a werewolf movie with a little bit of class. Though it lacks the blood and guts that have made similar films Halloween staples, it's more intriguing than any number of these films combined.
Movie Review ~ Argo

Synopsis: As the Iranian revolution reaches a boiling point, a CIA 'exfiltration' specialist concocts a risky plan to free six Americans who have found shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador.
Stars: Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Kerry Bishe, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Victor Garber, Zeljko Ivanek, Richard Kind, Scoot McNairy, Chris Messina, Michael Parks, Taylor Schilling
Director: Ben Affleck
TMMM Score: (8/10)
Review: Over the course of his career, Affleck seems to have been haunted by the Oscar that he shared with Matt Damon for writing Good Will Hunting. Through the years I've scoffed a bit when a movie he is acting in touts him as Academy Award Winner Ben Affleck…wanting to shout back at the screen… "It was for WRITING!" With the release of the third film that he's directed, it's finally time for me to lay off the guy and give credit where credit is due. While it's not as strong a film as his last outing (The Town), Argo is still a darn good film that should keep you on the edge of your seat even if you already know how things will turn out.
In his first foray into fact-based filmmaking, Affleck scores big points for his attention to period details and also for easing the audience into the time and place of the events via a clever opening montage. Giving you just enough information to understand why things are happening how they are happening, Argo then asks you to keep up as it packs a lot of movement into its taut two-hour running time.
It's 1979 and the Iran Hostage Crisis is underway. The focus of the film is not on the US Foreign Service workers who were captured in the US Embassy but in the six workers that escaped and are hiding out in the Canadian Embassy. Sort of like a new take on The Diary of Anne Frank, these individuals are waiting for the government to provide them a way out without being captured and most likely publically executed. Basically, the stakes couldn't be higher for all involved.
Back on US soil, CIA operative Tony Mendez (Affleck) has been called in to help craft a way of escape. Several of the ideas already being bandied about are laughable to say the least and at this point they are looking for the 'best bad idea" they can muster. It's watching a Planet of the Apes sequel that gives Mendez the idea to touch base with his Hollywood contact, Oscar winning make-up artist John Chambers (Goodman) and movie producer Lester Siegel (Arkin) to set into motion a doozy of a plot to get these six people out. How they do it is a wonder to behold…most importantly because it's a true story.
There are a lot of plot points and characters to juggle and Affleck works with screenwriter Chris Terrio to make it all blend together in a seamless fashion. You do, however, have to pay attention or you may find yourself stumbling a bit to keep pace with this rocket fueled picture. At its core, the kernel of an idea is fairly routine but like all fine films made from a stock storyline, it's in the execution that makes this particular film a winner.
Continuing my praise for Affleck, he wisely casts himself in the leading role which has spelled trouble for some actor/directors in the past (coughcoughKevinCostnercoughcough). Here, Affleck is a winning choice as a trustworthy man that holds half a dozen lives in his hands. I'm not sure how historically accurate the last twenty minutes or so are, but there's no denying that Affleck has created a real nail-biter of a third act.
Packing his supporting roles with strong character actors, Affleck finally casts Cranston in the right role after so many recently failed attempts (Rock of Ages, Total Recall) – I still don't think Cranston is a movie star in any sense of the word but it goes to show you that with the right role he can pass just fine. Affleck had the same luck with Jon Hamm in The Town – again, as charming and winning as Hamm is on TV and award shows, he's not a solid big-screen actor. Nice turns from DuVall and McNairy as the most interesting of the six would-be-escapees lend nice color to the group. Goodman is as solid as ever and Arkin should get some sort of award recognition…if only for a monologue he delivers to sleaze ball agent Kind in one of the most enjoyable film denouements of 2012
Overall, Argo is absolutely one of the strongest films of 2012 and should help land Affleck his first nomination for Best Director. It will surely end up on the list of Best Picture nominees as well so that's even more incentive for Oscar completists to buy a ticket for this one and pronto. Luckily for you, the film is thoroughly enjoyable as a well-shaped and delivered account of a dark period of time in our foreign service history and the men, women, and countries that worked together to bring it all to light.

With streaming, there's another layer to it. You already have games with DRM, so it's more like licensing games than owning them. And streaming is more like renting a game, so it's another layer to this ongoing discussion.

Q: Streaming video from android to desktop I'm doing some sound and image processing and for faster prototyping I'm using python and opencv. So far I've been recording some videos on phone (can't use webcam - need to check specific camera I have in phone), uploading to desktop and then working offline on file.
Though It becomes a little bit tedious and I was wondering if there is any way to do realtime streaming video and processing those video frames in python? I notice there is app like: DroidCam but there is not app for MacOS and seems it works only via WiFI. I've also checked android scripting but there is only a way to record to a file.
Because low latency is important in my case streaming via USB would be a plus. I noticed that adb allows port forwarding so looks like there is a way to do without specific android /python USB api and only using sockets.
Does there exist already any tool for that or the easiest way would be to write something by yourself using sockets and adb forwarding?
Something similar for iOS would be great as well.

A: Try setting up a UDP server, here is the code to send images,
UDPSock = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM)

  while 1:
    image = camProxy.getImageLocal(nameId)
    size = (image[0], image[1])
    data = image[6]
    im = Image.fromstring("YCbCr", size, data)
    s = StringIO.StringIO()
    im.save(s, "JPEG")

    UDPSock.sendto(s.getvalue(), addr)

    camProxy.releaseImage(nameId)

  UDPSock.close()

Code to recieve stream:
  UDPSock = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM)
  UDPSock.bind(addr)

  while 1:
    data, addr = UDPSock.recvfrom(buf)
    # here add code to process image and receive image

  UDPSock.close()

We'd often equate Michelin-starred restaurant to a fancy meal, costing us an arm and leg. But with the popularity of the likes of Tim Ho Wan, Michelin's list of top rated restaurants grew even wider in terms of cuisine and budget. And just a few years back, the famous Cantonese restaurant was kicked out of its position as the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant by Hawker Chan, a humble hawker stall from Singapore.
This famous hawker stall is one of the must visit stops when visiting the land of the Merlion.
It has been steadily expanding these past few years in nearby countries and it was not long ago when the local foodie community went crazy when Hawker Chan had its board up at SM Mall of Asia marking its coming to Manila.
Though I couldn't exactly share the same excitement as those who've tasted Hawker Chan's talked about soya chicken, I was thrilled with the idea of having another Michelin-starred restaurant in our country. I just love it when our options become better and better!
Before I continue with my first Hawker Chan experience, let me share some interesting tidbits about the guy who started it all, Chef Chan Hon Meng.
Coming from a humble family of farmers, it was sheer passion that made Chef Chan Hong Meng go under the tutelage of a Hong Kong chef for years to learn and perfect roasting meats. Eventually, Chef Chan Hong Meng decided to move to Singapore and open his own hawker stall.
In 2016, the prestigious Michelin's Singapore Guide gave Hawker Chan its first Michelin star, being the first street food to be awarded such and hailed as the cheapest Michelin-starred meal in the world.
I was one of the lucky few to have been invited to its media preview last July 25. Despite the distance, I giddily said yes and opted to brave Manila's morning traffic.
Unfamiliar with Hawker Chan's exact location, I had to ask some guards to lead me to the right direction. Expect that some guards won't be familiar with it yet given that it's new but do ask them to direct you to the North Entertainment Mall or The Galeón, one of the newest areas of SM Mall of Asia. And since I'm also oblivious to my surroundings, I totally missed Hawker Chan's huge signage and went inside the North Wing. Hawker Chan is on your left before the North Wing entrance.
Parched from a circling around (my fault for not having sense of direction that day), I tried Hawker Chan's Roselle Tea (PHP60) which was quite different. It was definitely not love at first sip as it has this slightly bitter medicinal-like taste to it. But I eventually got used to the taste and even thought of getting another round.
Despite having to serve a lot of guests, food was served in a speedy manner, something you'd expect from a hawker.
It's pay as you order at Hawker Chan but there are a handful of staff to assist you too.
First served to us was this plate of Thai Style Tofu (PHP160) cooked with apples, onions, sweet chili sauce and peanuts. Tangy, sweet and at the same time mildly spiced, it was a harmony of flavors beautifully balanced by the thick fried tofu. It was a great way to start your meal. I was just not expecting the heat to kick in so fast. Good thing I didn't finish my drink yet.
And in preparation for our meaty feast, we were also given a plate of Seasonal Vegetables (PHP99). During our visit, we got steamed gai lan or Chinese broccoli topped with fried garlic bits. It would serve as a nice break from the rich flavors of the meat.
I had Soya Chicken Noodle with Roasted Pork and Char Siew (PHP298). This is not on the menu but you could just get Soya Chicken Noodle (PHP158) and order additional Char Siew (PHP70/50g) and Roasted Pork (PHP70/50g).
I initially thought that the serving of the meats were quite small. But I was convinced otherwise as I struggled to finish it.
Soya Chicken definitely proved me that it's not just hype. Plump and very tender, it's hard to believe that this is actually priced so affordable given its superb texture.
Flavorful with every bite, adding a bit of chili sauce or soya sauce further makes this dish stellar.
Fun Fact: The reason for Hawker Chan's delay in store opening was because of the brand's difficulty in finding a supplier to provide them with chicken weighing 1.6 kg when industry standard is 1.2 kg. Eventually, after months of working with suppliers, Hawker Chan Philippines finally found one that matches Hawker Chan Singapore's standards.
Char Siew was pretty good too with a nice ratio of meat and fat. Rather lean compared to other restaurants, this one, though thinly sliced, has a lovely bite and meaty taste.
I was surprised that the roasted pork remained very crisp despite letting it wait for over half an hour. Though a tad salty, it was something you can't solve by pairing it with rice or noodles.
And speaking of noodles, do yourself a favor and get your meats with noodles. Hawker Chan's noodles are tasty on its own and is amazing with the roast meats. I finished mine with gusto.
Do try having it with sambal too for a different burst of flavor.
Fun Fact # 2: Did you know that lushiu or marinade used to roast the meats were back from when Hawker Chan opened years back? This is Hawker Chan's way of delivering consistent dishes.
Eating with an undecided group? You can also get these meats with the 3 Combination Platter (PHP270) where you could choose among Soya Chicken, Roasted Pork, Pork Rib or Char Siew.
Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. Though queues are expected especially during peak hours, service is fast keeping the average wait time at half an hour.
P.S. Find Hawker Chan too far? Fret not as FOODEE Global Concepts, the company that brought Hawker Chan to Manila, is planning to open soon at SM North, One Bonifacio BGC and Glorietta.
Hawker Chan is located at Ground Floor, North Entertainment Mall, SM Mall of Asia.

We were absolutely thrilled to have ITN reporter and presenter Warren Nettleford join us for our annual trends forecasting event last month, talking us through his views on the year ahead and what we can expect as fellow media folk.
We sat down with him to find out more about his background, how he copes with the stresses of the industry, advice for young journalists and more.
How did you begin your career in journalism?
I guess it all started whilst studying. I read history and politics at Lancaster University and whilst there I wrote for SCAN, the student paper. It was great. I was heavily involved in student politics as I became President of my College, and after that I was President of the University Students Union.
I enjoyed writing and standing up for people. So after that I became a researcher working on a number of political and social documentaries. I learnt a lot and got to travel across Europe and the US too, but I always wanted to be a reporter. I was fortunate to gain a place to study for my postgraduate diploma in journalism at City University in London and then I became a Channel 4 News trainee.
What were the biggest obstacles to developing your career?
It's a very competitive environment and I guess looking back maybe I was a bit cocky! In time I came to know the importance of taking good advice, speaking to the right people and working hard. I'm still learning though…all the time.
I was fortunate enough to be brought up in a Christian home. For most of my life my parents went to two different church denominations – so two different services on a Sunday! With hindsight It was useful to see that it's possible to have unity in belief but with diversity of expression. My parents never forced me to go to church or baptised me as a child, and so in my 20s I made a personal commitment myself after investigating who Jesus was and finding out if what he said was true. Baptism followed after that. I now attend an Anglican church in South London.
Do you find it a challenge to juggle your faith alongside the demands of a busy newsroom?
I can't say that I find it difficult, but I'm sure like for many people the responsibility of knowing what your values mean influences how you interact with others. If it didn't what would the point of being a Christian? We could just carry on as before… 1 Corinthians 15: 32 is useful here, - "...If the dead are not raised let us eat and drink and for tomorrow we die..." -although I'd love to find out if Paul did literally fight with wild beasts in Ephesus as he mentions in the line before. I do my best not to work on Sundays too.
How did you come to hear about Christians in Media?
An old University friend mentioned Christians in Media to me and it lead to me coming along to the annual conference.
What is the most exhilarating/exciting story/feature you have covered?
I've worked on a few general election campaigns now. The way things are going they'll probably be another one soon... As a reporter I get to travel around the country and get a sense as to what's happening and what people think. That all seems heightened with general election campaigns and I love the buzz of the shifting political sands and also the moments which can swing campaigns. I do like being up on election night and being there when historic events are unfolding.
Is your work very stressful? If so, what are your coping mechanisms?
I try to relax by exercising at the gym, reading, going to the cinema and playing football too. The holy answer of course is to say prayer. I do pray, but of course I, and I'm sure like many reading this, should pray a lot more.
What is your preferred form of social media and why?
Professionally I use Twitter a lot to keep track of developing news stories and also to see the latest comments by decision makers, leaders and other journalists. Being able to see stories develop so quickly is a really valuable tool, especially if you're out on the road reporting.
Do you know what you'd like to do in the long term?
As well as news reporting and presenting I also run my own production company – Right Thing Films. We're currently developing documentary and film ideas that tell important and transformative stories we think people should know about. It would be good to do work on some big projects whilst developing new young talent too.
Do you think news outlets give Christianity a fair hearing?
It depends what you mean. As a broadcaster who maintains impartiality I have a responsibility to do that whilst reporting and I think British Television news does this on the whole fairly well. Perhaps now though because Christianity in Britain is losing it's place as the default moral compass, in favour of a more secular world view, there's a sense that Christianity in the UK is having to find its footing, or even, having to develop the tools required to compete whilst maintaining authentic values in a more pluralistic society. I saw a Tim Keller lecture at Parliament last year where he argued that Christianity should always try and be salt to the world. Because there are now so many more media outlets through social media which Christianity can speak through arguably there's never been a better time for anyone to get a 'fairer hearing'. Maybe Christianity should be more confident.
What is your advice to young people wanting to follow you into a career in journalism?
Work hard, don't ever think that you're solely responsible for any success that comes your way, and pray for good fortune and guidance! If you fail along the way, you'll learn from it. I have.


Sorry for the late edition. The auction of my late grandmother was this weekend and I had no idea how much work it would be. Better late than never. Last week's info is published below. We have two more Halloween-inspired reviews (Nancy Drew & The Picture of Dorian Gray). Two more reviews are coming at you later this week, which will wrap up our month-long nod to all things creepy. Next month expect to see some articles and reviews on democracy and world affairs.

I recently read this article online and was shaking my head in affirmation and saying, "amen" for every point. This article is worth sharing so that you too can interject your own "amens" here and there. My commentary is added free of charge. May you learn from it and grow!
Raising mentally strong kids who are equipped to take on real-world challenges requires parents to give up the unhealthy - yet popular - parenting practices that are robbing kids of mental strength.
Of course, helping kids build mental muscle isn't easy - it requires parents to be mentally strong as well. Watching kids struggle, pushing them to face their fears, and holding them accountable for their mistakes is tough. But those are the types of experiences kids need to reach their greatest potential.
1. They don't condone a victim mentality.
Getting cut from the soccer team or failing a class doesn't make your child a victim. Rejection, failure, and unfairness are part of life. Rather than allow kids to host pity parties or exaggerate their misfortune, mentally strong parents encourage their children to turn their struggles into strength. They help them identify ways in which they can take positive action, despite their circumstances.
2. They don't parent out of guilt.
Guilty feelings can lead to a long list of unhealthy parenting strategies - like giving in to your child after you've said no or overindulging your child on the holidays. Mentally strong parents know that although guilt is uncomfortable, it's tolerable. They refuse to let their guilty feelings get in the way of making wise choices.
3. They don't make their child the center of the universe.
4. They don't allow fear to dictate their choices.
5. They don't give their child power over them.
6. They don't expect perfection.
7. They don't let their child avoid responsibility.
You won't catch a mentally strong parent saying things like, "I don't want to burden my kids with chores. Kids should just be kids." They expect children to pitch in and learn the skills they need to become responsible citizens. They proactively teach their kids to take responsibility for their choices and they assign them age-appropriate duties.
8. They don't shield their child from pain.
9. They don't feel responsible for their child's emotions.
10. They don't prevent their child from making mistakes.
11. They don't confuse discipline with punishment.
12. They don't take shortcuts to avoid discomfort.
Giving in when a child whines or doing your kids' chores for them, is fast and easy. But, those shortcuts teach kids unhealthy habits. It takes mental strength to tolerate discomfort and avoid those tempting shortcuts.
13. They don't lose sight of their values.
Amy Morin is a mental strength trainer and bestselling author of "13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do."

"A lot of people think existential realities are very depressing," says sex and relationship expert Eric Schneider, who has worked with men and their partners for more than thirty years. "Actually, they're very enlivening."
When it comes to the question of sustaining or nurturing intimacy in long-term relationships, Schneider's idea of a comforting reality is unusual: that relationships—no matter how stable and committed they may appear to be—can end at any moment. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
A Q&A with Eric Schneider, MEd, DMin
When couples come to you, how much of it is driven by a feeling of lack?
Most couples are driven to come to therapy by dissatisfaction: "Everything would be wonderful if he were different, and if he just did everything differently."
Here's the dilemma: There are existential realities that relationships buffer against. We want relationships to provide us with unconditional love and acceptance. We want them to be filled with unbridled passion and ecstasy, and we want them to be emotionally intimate, and we want it all the time. If I'm not getting it now, something needs to change. That is a lot of pressure.
Despite the ways we talk about relationships—as if they are a permanent or semipermanent thing we have achieved—all we really have is relating, moment by moment. We maintain a story about a relationship and that keeps us from encountering the reality. The reality is that it can end at any moment. This whole thing can just end.
When I'm working with clients, we work with this idea and getting to this edge of unknown. A lot of people think existential realities are very depressing. But they're actually very enlivening. It keeps a certain kind of freshness: When I encounter you, you're not the same person. I want my relationships to be reliable and exciting.
It's important not so much to track what's going on in your relationship but to track what's going on in you, around sort of using your relationship as a context for your own evolution.
What's an example of that playing out in real time?
The notion that you know your partner better in a long-term relationship is a myth. The truth is I have a really good, solid narrative about who you are, what we do, what our life is like. One of my favorite clients, she helped me so much with our sessions when her husband looked at his iPhone during a session, and she said, "Story of my life." It is the story of her life. It's a narrative; it's the ascription of meaning to something that does not necessarily have that meaning on its face.
I had another couple, where the woman looked at her phone, because she had just had a baby and she was checking with the babysitter. Her husband was totally fine with that. And he had a baby, too—it was his business and he was worried about it, too, and he was in this room. If he'd wanted to use her being on her phone as evidence to support the story of his life, by all means. But he wouldn't have been relating to all of the other parts of her presence. It would have been about him.
When people come to you, what are they typically searching for?
To change the other person. It's usually some version of "How do I get the other to be more the way I want them to be?" I try to guide them instead to discovering more about who their partner is, knowing more about who they are.
So do you push people to break up with the history and lean on the idea that it's not predictive of the future of their relationship?
Well, your history can be predictive of your future in the sense that grudges and resentments are great fortifiers of our egos. What makes something a predictor of future behavior is often how much you reiterate it in your own head, because it creates a selective bias, and then a confirmation bias. You're focused on the events that support the selective bias and the confirmation bias, and they work together.
That can be a real problem. I ask people to begin to recognize that for themselves and to make the discernments between what is real versus what is a story that they may tell themselves—the constructed version. That sounds really easy, but it's not. We're often so confluent with our own stories that we believe them, and they are us.
What's your advice for mastering that?
Your mind is very busy. That's its job. It's there to make sure everything is okay and make sure you're getting what you want and make sure everything is safe. Those are really, from my vantage point, defenses against the unknown and the reality of the instability of most things.
So: Relax, and slow down. I hear from clients all the time, "This is the first time we're sitting down together all week." That's incredible. One of the things that often eats away at the quality of our relationships is just trying to keep our heads above water. Just the busyness of everyday life.
There was a Zen monk who once said, "Meditation will not bring you enlightenment, but it can make it a little more probable that you'll happen upon it." It's a similar idea with achieving intimacy. You have to sit with yourself so that when you encounter your partner, it's from a place where you'll be receptive and open to who they are at that present moment. I think of meditation and all of those kinds of practices as the beginning of intimacy—first with your own being, and then when you encounter your partner. We strive to encounter one another from this intimate place, which starts with relaxation, with inquiry, with slowing down.

Wayne Husted
Wayne Husted was the most prolific Blenko designer and is often credited as the most talented and popular of the Blenko designers. An article in the April 2004 edition of the respected Journal of Antiques and Collectibles says Husted was "both a maverick and an innovator who cemented Blenko's place in glass history."
At an average of at least 60 designs a year during his ten years with Blenko, Husted created over 600 designs. However, The Blenko Project will include only two recent groups of Husted's designs: 'The Olana Group" created for Blenko in 2001, and three creations from Husted's current work titled "The Beyond Olana Group."
Olana is the name for a group of eight designs he created for Blenko in 2001, while he was back in West Virginia for the first time in forty-one years. Husted created a plethora of pieces when he returned after so many years, but his official reason for returning was to be interviewed for Blenko's video "Blenko Retro: The Story of Three Designers," made for public television.
Beyond Olana
Trained in the Bauhaus School of Design that emphasized the study of how materials are formed, Husted has spent his career seeking new processes and molding techniques for forming glass. Perhaps the best example of his interest in exploring new processes is the highly profitable centrifugal process that he initiated at Blenko.
The 'Beyond Olana Group'....."The return to form"...Most recently, he has developed and applied for a patent on a new way to cut molten glass so it can be formed into radical new shapes. Shapes... that would be impossible to make by traditional glass making processes.
Husted's new 'Beyond Olana' concepts are being developed in collaboration with the Nourot Glass Studio in Benecia, California. It is informative that Nourot is possibly the only glass studio in the United States that melts compatible colors.. allowing Husted to continue to explore the concept of the Olana group.

Q: How far are enemies knocked back? Enchanted swords can receive two levels of Knockback while bows can receive two levels of Punch.  How far do these enchantments knock the enemy back and how does it compare to the knockback from normally hitting and/or sprinting?

A: After a significant amount of testing, of which GLaDOS would be proud, we managed to come up with a fairly simple table of data from which to formulate an answer.

Variation of about .5 blocks
To reach these results, I first enchanted my weapons until I had Knockback I and Knockback II (note: the minimum modified levels for these enchants are 5 and 25, respectively).

I then had my associate spawn Zombies in the Knockback Testing Super System™ so that I could attack the Zombies from a safe, secure location.

We first tested a Normal Sword (no enchantment) from a standing position, and then again while sprinting. We then repeated the process with enchanted swords. Once we reached a definitive conclusion, we moved on to testing with Bows and their related enchantments (in this case Punch). The results of our SCIENCE can be found at the top of this answer.
I hope this helped!

McDonald's, Made in Italy
May 20, 2010 • Features • Views: 1967
by Alice Walton:
Behind a row of Vespas in a crowded Roman alleyway, a new sign has replaced the iconic red and gold of McDonald's. This one sports the seal of the republic of Italy to advertise McDonald's newest menu item: The McItaly. The taste of McDonald's speaks Italian, boasts the ad, referring to the restaurant's new line of burgers made from 100 percent Italian ingredients. But many Italians are not so certain. For many it is unthinkable that Italy, the birthplace of the Slow Food movement that now has over 100,000 followers worldwide could endorse a McDonald's burger.
A sign points the way to one of Rome's many McDonald's outlets. (Walton/TYG)
The McItaly burger was ceremoniously unveiled in late January of 2010 at Rome's flagship McDonald's by Luca Zaia, Italy's minister of agriculture, health, and the environment. Donning a McDonald's apron, he lauded the burger as a boon to Italian farmers. McDonald's represents an important outlet and a new market for our farmers, he said. Italy's agriculture could not lose this opportunity. The burgers and salads in the McItaly line are predicted to bring an additional $350 million to the Italian economy.
The McItaly, however, has not entered the market without controversy. Many are furious that the Italian government could help market a hamburger line for McDonald's. "It's definitely not a good way to market 'Made in Italy' – not through McDonald's", said high school student Stefano Birisi as he finished his McItaly at a McDonald's in Rome.
Other Italian McDonald's customers saw the McItaly burger as little more than a marketing ploy, but still wanted to try it. "They can charge more by calling it a McItaly", explained Igli Myftari, a university student in rome, "but I was interested after the ads." Indeed, for a patty of the same size, the McItaly costs 1.20 Euro more than the Big Mac. How did he like it? "It's not great. McDonald's always tastes better with more fat. This is less tasty because it has less fat."
I made my way into the Spanish Steps McDonald's in rome, the very McDonald's that launched the burger, to judge the hype for myself. The 100 percent beef patty covered in sautéed onions, a slice of pancetta (Italian bacon) and lettuce was dry and flavorless. Had I paid the .30 Euro for ketchup, perhaps I would have enjoyed the burger more, but it would no longer have been 100 percent Italian.
Those who take issue with the McItaly burgers, however, are less offended by the marketing scheme or taste of the burger than the principle of the Italian government aiding the fast food behemoth in a marketing campaign. "How can the Minister of Health make this deal with McDonald's, then talk about the health of our children?" asked Franco Fancoli, president of Slow Food Rome, as he entered a small Italian trattoria which only serves food made from local ingredients. "I refuse to set foot in Mcdonald's," he said.
The opening of the first McDonald's in Italy stirred enough controversy to propel Italian Carlo Petrini to found the Slow Food movement in 1989. The unveiling of the McItaly burger at that very McDonald's came as a slap in the face to Slow Food Italy, which has otherwise supported Minister Zaia. Not only do they decry the McItaly for sullying the name of Italian cuisine, Slow Food also doubts that it will benefit Italian farmers. "If oranges are bought from the farmer for .06 Euro per kilo, then sold for 1.50 Euro, how much are they paying the farmers for the McItaly ingredients that are then sold so cheap?" asked Fancoli. Slow Food has requested this information from both McDonald's and the relevant ministries to learn how the McItaly will affect farmers, but to no avail.
When Slow Food Italy's Petrini published an open letter in La repubblica, one of Italy's major newspapers, McDonald's defended the burger with a full page ad in another paper. But while the fight rages over the patrimony of Italian cuisine, the well-being of farmers, and the health of consumers, many McDonald's customers remain unaware of the controversy. "I've never heard of Slow Food. I'd seen the ad, so I wanted to try it," said a student as he waited in line to spend 4.20 Euro for his McItaly.
McDonald's: 1, Slow Food: 0.

Q: Google Drive Realtime API - Read-only users (limits) I am developing an application with Google Realtime API that will have to handle a large number of concurrent read-only users. Is there a specific way to declare that a user should open the concurrent model in a read-only mode? Is there a limit on the number of concurrent read-only users on a single model?

A: If the document is only shared with them with read, it will open in readonly mode.
There is a limit to concurrent users, regardless if readonly or not of ~50.
If you need many more than that, consider using an exported version + in memory mode to show them a snapshot of the model.


In a large bowl, using your hands mix together pork, coriander, curry powder, Worcestershire, cayenne, scallions and garlic, seasoning well with salt and pepper.
Make six even patties and put in refrigerator until ready to cook. Heat a large fry pan over medium-high heat, add oil. Sear patties until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about five minutes per side. Cook in batches, if necessary. Serve inside hamburger buns topped with lettuce leaf, tomato slice and spicy ketchup.
In a saucepan over medium heat, lightly saute garlic in butter, about two minutes. Add ketchup, red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper. Cook for another five minutes. Remove from heat and stir in scallions. Cool before serving.


When clicking on the "Admin" link in the top menu we show different pages depending on the user's access etc the API page for anonymous users unless scheduled report plugin is enabled, we show general settings for super users and another page if a user has admin access. This means if a user has admin access for one site, but view access for another site we show different pages when clicking on that link. It also means we link all kind of users to rather unrelated / unimportant pages. For example I presume a super user rarely actually wants to change the "general settings".
Instead we want to introduce a new "admin home page". We always send all kind of users there and show different content / widgets depending on the user's access.
For example for Super Users we can show a system summary #10353 and a minimal system check result #10354. We can post an event there so plugins can add additional content.
For example the Custom Alerts plugin could say "Hey, you have not yet created any alerts, did you create one now? Custom alerts send you emails when ....", same for Scheduled Reports. The CorePluginsAdmin plugin could add a Marketplace widget showing the recently updated plugins #10355 .
In a first version we probably only post an event in the template. In a next version we could eg enrich the Widget API to make it easy for plugins to add widgets to this page. After all often such content could be also nice to see in the dashboard but it always depends.

The Musk Discount (Clients Only)
by Daniel Ogden | Jul 22, 2022 | General
Tesla Remains a Major Opportunity
Tesla has always been a controversial company and stock. Nearly all of the controversy comes from its major stockholder and CEO, Elon Musk. Here are a just few of his traits that have discouraged many from investing in Tesla stock:
He's promotional and over-promises: Musk has been promising Self-Driving cars for years and so far has failed to deliver. He promises a robot.
He's distracted: Musk is involved in too many businesses, including Space-X, solar energy, and now Twitter. He's building a robot.
He's not serious: Tesla's Chief Financial Officer has the title of Master of Coin. Musk wants to colonize Mars. He's building a robot—that walks.
We understand why these issues turn off many investors, but we believe Tesla is a cheaper stock today because of these personal traits. For that reason, Tesla might offer the best opportunity of any stock in our client portfolios.
In March we outlined the fundamental case for Tesla, and none of the factors we outlined there have changed. (That note is attached below.) But is Elon Musk a problem? We don't think so for the following reasons.
We believe that Tesla has moved past the phase which Musk called, "Production Hell" when he slept on the factory floor, micro-managing the crisis. Before Tesla, mass production by a new auto manufacturer hadn't been achieved since Chrysler's founding in 1925. Tesla has moved past the invention stage and is now in the roll-out phase. This doesn't just apply to cars, it also applies to factories.
With the opening of two new factories in the last year (Berlin and Austin) Tesla has created a template for future production facilities. They know what the next four factories will look like and it seems clear to us that current management can execute that plan without daily input from Musk.
As the new plants ramp up, the company will have the capacity to build 2 million cars annually. (Toyota and Volkswagen build 10 million each.) With an order backlog of over 400,000 cars there is no reason to think they won't sell 2 million cars in 2023-2024. Extraordinary profits will follow.
Elon Musk will continue to over-promise, get distracted, and refuse to act the part of the traditional CEO. But Tesla, the business, will flourish.

This Spring 2018, Joan Walker (Civil Engineering) and Alison Post (Political Science) will be co-teaching Global Metropolitan Studies 200, the gateway course for the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies. The course provides an accessible introduction to many disciplines that help us understand urban systems, both domestically and internationally. The course includes modules on the social sciences, engineering, urban theory and planning, and areas of active interdisciplinary collaboration. Our aims are to position students to collaborate with scholars from other fields and to expose them to new ideas and approaches that they may adapt to their own field. The course will be taught Mondays 2-5pm (749 Barrows Hall). Draft syllabus attached here.
GMS 201 (the second required course for the DE) will be also offered this spring. The dissertation writing seminar is designed for students who have completed their qualifying exams, and are working on their dissertations. The course is a dissertation writing seminar. Students engage with one another's ongoing research projects and grapple with alternative approaches to the study of urban processes and problems. GMS 201 will be taught this year by Renee Roy Elias, who recently received her PhD through the Department of City and Regional Planning. It will be held on Thursdays 2-5pm (314B Wurster Hall) and will be offered in conjunction with the DCRP dissertation writing seminar. If you have any questions, you can reach Dr. Roy Elias at her email.


Tasted blind in a lineup of McLaren Vale Shiraz and then checked again after a day in the fridge.
I do wonder whether the ProCork might have helped this become a little more approachable (in context), as many of the more serious 2011 McLaren Vale Shiraz appear to really benefit from a little more airtime (softens out the sharp edges).
This wine was sourced from a vineyard on Rifle Range road in McLaren Vale ground-central, the impression very much of a carefully made wine from a carefully tended vineyard (though it was machine harvested which is slightly out of step with the rest of the wine's minimal additive persona).
What is most admirable is just the richness of texture, the palate with an oil-slick like viscosity that is more like warm year Vale Shiraz than cool and wet like 2011. The flavours too are more like a sort of red berry reduction, the concentration more than impressive given the cool vintage. It is perhaps a slightly soft and open, lightly tannic wine given the price context, yet that also makes for a somewhat more approachable drink than many other '11 Vale Shiraz.
Ultimately I quite liked this, the impression of an utterly quality Shiraz of some power and style.
Would I buy it? Maybe a glass or so.

Арабско-русская практическая транскрипция — передача собственных имён и названий с арабского языка на кириллицу.

Общие принципы

Арабский язык в большинстве случаев записывается только с помощью согласных букв без использования огласовок. Исключения редки — Коран, религиозная, учебная и детская литература. В силу этого с арабского производится не транслитерация текста как таковая, а именно транскрипция произношения. Таким образом перед транскрипцией необходимо добавить в текст огласовки, что может требовать некоторого знания самого арабского языка. В тех случаях, когда огласовки всё-таки встречаются, то употребляются преимущественно только знаки для гласных (фатха, дамма, кясра) и знак удвоения согласной (шадда) и иногда знаки нунации (танвин). Крайне редко употребляются знаки отсутствия гласной (сукун) и отсутствия гортанной смычки (васла). Надписной алиф (алиф-ханджарийя) встречается почти исключительно в Коране и в слове Аллах (ﷲ).

Транскрипцию также усложняет наличие в арабском языке особых уникальных звуков (эмфатические, межзубные, фарингальные), которые отсутствуют как в русском, так и в большинстве европейских языков. Эти звуки во многих случаях можно передать лишь приблизительно.

Существуют два типа транскрипции: научная, отражающая максимально точно произношение, и практическая, отражающая произношение лишь приблизительно средствами стандартного русского или латинского алфавита.

Русско-арабскую научную и практическую транскрипции разработали арабист И. Ю. Крачковский и его ученик Н. В. Юшманов.

Для точной транслитерации на латиницу используются преимущественно немецкая система DIN 31635 и близкая к ней система ISO 233.

При практической романизации используются разные системы, включая разнообразные суррогатные, основанные на правилах английской или французской орфографии (например, используются диграфы oo или ou для гласной /u/).

Сводные правила

Базовый алфавит

Гласные
Примечание: Далее в таблицах используется буква хамза (ء) как несущий элемент для иллюстрации использования диакритических знаков. Она не является частью этих знаков.

Для записи кратких гласных после согласной используются факультативные знаки (фатха, дамма, кясра) над этой согласной. Для записи долгих гласных используются те же знаки плюс соответствующая согласная буква.

Хамза
Гортанная смычка (по-арабски хамза) имеет сложные правила записи. Она может записываться как отдельный знак на строке ⟨ﺀ⟩, таким образом не отличаясь от других согласных букв, но намного чаще она записывается над или под тремя несущими буквами: алиф, вав, йа. При этом хамза, как и любой согласный, может быть как перед гласной, так и после. В начале слов хамза записывается исключительно над или под алифом.

Сочетание «алиф-хамза + фатха + алиф» (то есть ) записывается особым образом через алиф-мадда.

Отсутствие хамзы изредка записывается знаком васла (обычно используется только перед начальным алифом).

В неогласованных текстах возможно даже полное отсутствие над- или подписной хамзы (таким образом хамза неотличима от вав и йа), что дополнительно усложняет транскрипцию. Над алифом определённого артикля хамза почти никогда не записывается.

Определённый артикль
Как и с хамзой существуют некоторые трудности в передачи определённого артикля арабского языка. В нейтральном положении он читается и транскрибируется как аль- (эль-). В определённых положениях звук -ль- может ассимилироваться с последующим согласным (см. подробнее Солнечные и лунные буквы). После гласных начальный а- (э-) обычно исчезает (так называемое васлирование).

Нунация
Под термином нунация (или танвин) в арабской грамматике понимаются падежные окончания «неопределённого состояния» (соответствует неопределённому артиклю в других языках). Иногда по историческим причинам после нунации дополнительно записывается немые буквы алиф-максура или простой алиф.

Другие знаки
 сукун над согласной обозначает отсутствие какой-либо гласной после этой согласной (включая хамзу). Никак не транскрибируется.
 шадда над согласной обозначает удвоение этой согласной. Транскрибируется соответственно удвоением букв (особый случай: дждж → ддж).

Q: macOS Mojave cannot find /var/db/DetachedSignatures with Swift 4 I had no such error with High Sierra, now with Mojave my application done with Swift 4 is issuing this error. It will happen when I try to get software information by call:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType
My application wont fail and works but I notice that it will expose this error when running:

system_profiler[2052:52918] [logging-persist] os_unix.c:42249: (0) open(/var/db/DetachedSignatures) - Undefined error: 0

I guess it is related to code signatures but I don't know how to handle that, maybe a bug as there isn't any file called DetachedSignatures inside /var/db

A: This appears to be logged by the Security framework during some operations; I always see it when my app calls SecKeyGeneratePair. Since everything works correctly I assume this is just noise. (There are other examples of this; the Security engineers at Apple seem to be bad about leaving noisy but harmless log messages in their production code.)
I wouldn't recommend trying to create the DetachedSignatures file! It's clearly used for something by the OS, and just shoving an empty file there, or one copied from elsewhere, could cause problems later on.

A: os_unix.c:37227: (21) seekAndRead(/var/db/DetachedSignatures) - Is a directory
sudo touch /var/db/DetachedSignatures

This fixed the issue on my machine.

A: I asked someone for their file as @lzl said but they told me the file was 0 bytes. I touched a file at that path and my warnings went away.

A: I encountered the same problem, and I copied the DetachedSignatures file from some other guy's MacBook and put it under /var/db path on my iMac. It solved the problem. Don't know why some mac just don't have this DetachedSignatures file. Not very many useful explanations on the Internet.
