Cash, booze stolen in Brookfield liquor store burglary | Police Reports Sept. 25-Oct. 2
by BOB UPHUES October 4, 2022 October 4, 2022
Cash and numerous bottles of liquor were stolen from Phoenix Liquors, 8814 Ogden Ave., during a smash-and-grab burglary on Sept. 30 at about 1:40 a.m., the second such burglary at the business in the past nine months.
According to police, surveillance camera video showed three people casing the liquor store a little after 1 a.m., walking past the front and side windows and then entering a vehicle parked in the 4000 block of Grove Avenue.
At about 1:35 a.m. two people exit the vehicle and walk around to the front of the business where they smashed out the bottom half of the glass front door to gain entry. One of the offenders is seen on video taking cash from the register while the other grabs liquor bottles from the shelves and places them into large plastic bags.
The two are then seen returning to the vehicle parked on Grove Avenue. The vehicle was last seen heading east on Ogden Avenue. A witness told police the vehicle appeared to be a white 2005 Chrysler 300.
A burglary crew last hit Phoenix Liquors on Jan. 14, when three men used a chunk of concrete to smash the glass front door to gain entry. They took cash from one register and stole a second cash register.
The offenders in that incident were believed to be part of a burglary crew responsible for dozens of burglaries in Chicago and the suburbs at that time.
Riverside police are "actively" investigating the report of a residential burglary discovered Sept. 26 at about 12:35 p.m. in the 200 block of Waubansee Road.
Few details regarding the burglary are known at this time as Riverside police declined to provide the Landmark with a copy of the report, citing the ongoing investigation. The Landmark has learned that entry to the residence appeared to have been gained by someone forcing open a rear door.
Vehicle break-in
Brookfield police responded to the 3200 block of Park Avenue on the morning of Sept. 29 after a resident called to report that his vehicle, which was parked on the garage apron overnight, had been burglarized.
According to police, the offender smashed out the passenger side rear window to gain entry, ransacked the interior and removed some cash from the center console.
Car stolen in Riverside
Riverside police responded to the 200 block of Desplaines Avenue on the morning of Oct. 1 with homeowners there reporting that their gray 2018 Infiniti Q50 had been stolen overnight from the driveway.
According to the police report, there was broken glass next to a fence where the vehicle had been parked. The victims still possessed both fobs for the vehicle. License plate reading cameras last observed the vehicle heading north on I-90/94 at about 6:34 a.m.
One injured in Plainfield Road crash
A 30-year-old Chicago man was charged with driving without a valid license and failure to yield after he reportedly drove a 2021 Ford F350 pickup truck belonging to a landscaping company out of a parking lot and into a 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan driven by a 22-year-old Chicago woman who was southbound in the 9100 block of Plainfield Road on Sept. 30 at about 4 p.m.
The driver of the truck was unhurt. Paramedics transported the driver of the Volkswagen to LaGrange Memorial Hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries.
Aggravated speeding
North Riverside police charged a 26-year-old Oak Park man with aggravated speeding after an officer on patrol reported observing a black Honda CR-V traveling at 76 mph in a 35-mph zone while eastbound in the 8200 block of Cermak Road on Oct. 2 at about 3:30 p.m.
The driver reportedly told the officer he was driving so fast because he "had to use the bathroom very badly." He was also cited for driving a vehicle with expired registration.
Riverside police charged a 30-year-old Plainfield woman with drunken driving after an officer on patrol reported observing her behind the wheel of a red Chevy with its hazard lights flashing traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of traffic in the 8000 block of Ogden Avenue on Sept. 25 at 11:55 p.m.
The officer stopped the vehicle at Plainfield Road and Ogden Avenue and talked to the driver who reportedly said she was trying to travel to Cicero and was lost. Her blood-alcohol content reportedly was .18, which is more than twice the legal limit of .08.
A 29-year-old Cicero man faces felony drunken driving charges after he was pulled over on Oct. 1 at about 2:20 a.m. for driving 53 mph in a 35-mph zone while eastbound on Cermak Road near Desplaines Avenue.
The alleged offender, Jesus Estrada, reportedly gave police a false name initially. He subsequently provided his real name and police learned he had a suspended license and had two prior DUI charges. While his blood-alcohol content of .067 was less than the legal limit of .08, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office approved charging Estrada with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol. He was also charged with obstruction and issued six traffic citations.
These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Sept. 25-Oct. 2, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Nepal: With two weeks to go for South Asian Games, work at main venue still underway
WION Web Team New Delhi, India Nov 19, 2019, 10.34 AM(IST) Written By: Bharat Sharma

The games are slated to be held from December 1-10
The 13th South Asian Games are supposed to open in Kathmandu, Nepal in two weeks but renovation work still remains incomplete.
The games are slated to be held from December 1-10.
The renovation of Dasarath Rangasala Stadium is incomplete with less than two weeks to go for the games, as there was a delay in the delivery of required material from China, news agency ANI reported.
Dasarath Rangasala Stadium is supposed to host the opening ceremony as well as multiple important events.
Until now, chairs have not been completely installed and the VVIP block is still awaiting construction.
"The shipping of the chairs completed last night only. We are now working on the installation of chairs in the yellow block. We have the target of setting up chairs on the other side. We are working with the target of installing 1000 to 1500 chairs per day," Amar Shah, Site Engineer of Dasarath Stadium said.
This is Nepal's third time playing host for the South Asian Games, and seven countries have confirmed their participation in the tournament which is set to happen in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
"South Asian Games (SAG) is set to begin from December 1. While taking a tour around the location (Dasarath Stadium), it doesn't seem to be prepared to host the games. About 30 per cent of the work seems to be remaining. But I think if the speed is increased, then the work might be completed," Bikash Neupane, a resident of Kathmandu, said.
As many as 3,250 athletes will take part in the tournament, including 648 from the host country Nepal, 521 from neighbouring India, 612 from island country Sri Lanka, and 591 from Bangladesh. Additionally, 413 athletes from Pakistan, 135 from Bhutan, and 332 from the Maldives will also take part in the tournament.

The Power Local Green Jobs Campaign uses nonviolent, direct action to demand that PECO, Pennsylvania's largest utility company, make a major shift to locally generated solar power that benefits low income communities and communities of color. Our campaign brings together EQAT and POWER, a broad multi-faith network of 60 congregations, to address three critical issues: underemployment, crumbling infrastructure, and climate change.
Our campaign calls on PECO to spur local jobs and support the regional economy by purchasing solar energy in its service area. Doing this will create thousands of good paying jobs for local workers, lower electricity bills for families, schools and churches, and will turn PECO away from fueling devastating climate change.
Dramatically increase the purchase of local rooftop solar power so that 20% of PECO's electricity comes from roofs in its service area by 2025.
Spur solar installation on suitable roofs in high unemployment areas, starting in North Philadelphia, to economically benefit those communities.
Prioritize installation by local workers, especially from high unemployment areas.
What if PECO became a solar-jobs creator? What if those jobs were developed in communities of color and areas of deep unemployment? In our research, we learned that local solar energy could provide well over 20% of our region's needs, and that getting there could create thousands of new jobs. Seeing that PECO had been blocking and delaying solar for years, our new campaign became clear: get PECO to commit to 20% local solar by 2025, built first in the neighborhoods with greatest need.
EQAT began monthly actions at the company headquarters in September 2015, and we were soon joined by POWER, then later Delaware Riverkeeper Network, and the campaign began spreading across the region.
PECO's region has both opportunity- some of the best counties for solar in the state- and need. Our area includes large and deeply neglected African American neighborhoods, disinvested former industrial zones, a growing immigrant workforce, and working class neighborhoods of all races. With local solar, workers can earn good wages and communities can produce and sell their own power. We all will see improvements in public health and guard against the looming devastation of climate change.
We had our first breakthrough in April of 2016.
To meet the minimum of state law, PECO only gets a fraction of 1% of its energy from solar -- and much of that from out of state. When we first met with PECO executives, the company insisted that increasing local solar was impossible. So after months of demonstrations, we issued an ultimatum: Purchase that fraction of a percent from North Philly by May 2016, or face escalated nonviolent direct action.
PECO responded by reversing its initial stance, and finally began listening to advocates and solar industry groups to figure out how to buy locally the small amount of solar it does buy. We're glad PECO is getting its toes wet, but we're calling for a clear commitment that will allow PECO to cope with the rapid changes in energy which need to happen in the next decade.
The campaign has only grown since then, with actions over the summer of 2016 in Chester, Upper Darby, Doylestown, and Philadelphia. In October of 2016, 100 runners, walkers, and wheelers circled the company headquarters at the "PECO Runaround" (because PECO is giving Philadelphia the runaround on solar). The event raised $10,000 to Power Local Green Jobs.
However, to reach 20% by 2025, we know PECO needs to think bigger. So last spring, we embarked on a 100 mile Walk for Green Jobs and Justice to chart the way from old energy sites to new. Along the way, EQAT and POWER were joined by 200 people from across the region, and for the final mile to PECO headquarters, another 200 showed up in the pouring rain to show PECO the path to a solar future.

Army gives Pfizer $3.5B to make 500M COVID vaccine doses
The Pentagon announced Monday the US Army had awarded Pfizer a $3.5 billion contract to manufacture 500 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine by the end of next year for distribution around the world.
The order matches the number of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine doses purchased by the US government under an agreement announced last year by the Trump administration. Last month, Pfizer announced that the latest batch of 200 million doses would be delivered between October of this year and April of 2022.
In June, Pfizer and Germany-based BioNTech announced that they would provide 500 million doses "at a not-for-profit price" to the feds for distribution to more than 100 countries around the world, most of them in Africa.
"Our partnership with the U.S. government will help bring hundreds of millions of doses of our vaccine to the poorest countries around the world as quickly as possible," Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said at the time. "COVID-19 has impacted everyone, everywhere, and to win the battle against this pandemic, we must ensure expedited access to vaccines for all."

The two-shot Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is one of three approved on an emergency basis by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). With the number of COVID-19 cases surging due to the highly contagious Delta variant and the vaccination rate slowing to a crawl, the FDA announced last week it was reshuffling resources in an effort to grant full approval to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines as quickly as possible.
"This will remove one more layer for the vaccine-hesitant," FDA official Peter Marks told The Washington Post. "If all this does is get five to 10 million more people vaccinations down south, that will save lives."

Last month, a study funded by Public Health England and published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine were 88 percent effective at preventing severe illness from the Delta variant of COVID-19 and 93.7 percent effective at preventing severe illness from the original strain of the virus.

Blackjack player Marc Meltzer shared his blackjack strategies in an article published on Gaming Today. He says that whenever he walks into a casino, he is concerned with two things—playing smartly and having fun, adding that it is important to strike a balance between the two.
Casinos have an advantage over players in almost every casino game, although playing blackjack might give players a percentage or two over the casino. Players can implement strategies to gain a point or two, but that's all they will be able to manage.
Everybody wants to win at blackjack and other games in a casino, but Meltzer warns that players should not let their desire to win reduce their ability to have fun. Having fun with friends in a casino is almost as important as choosing the more player friendly variant of blackjack. But implementing the best strategies and choosing player friendly games is not always possible when one is in a casino in the company of friends who just want to gamble and have fun.
However, using proper bankroll management techniques, having the willingness to accept losses gracefully, and knowing the casino's advantage go a long way in helping players play smartly and have fun at the same time.

Euphemism for the victimization of the Jewish intelligentsia in the late Stalin years. The anticosmopolitan campaign did not commence as an anti-Jewish offensive, but rather as a concomitant of the policy of promoting "Soviet patriotism," which in the immediate postwar years dictated the eradication of extraneous influences in culture and the reversal of the relative ideological relaxation of the war years. This trend was the other face of the isolationism the Soviet Union fostered as it instituted the Iron Curtain.
The new trend was heralded by an August 1946 speech by Communist Party Central Committee Secretary Andrei Zhdanov, followed by three resolutions stipulating that "Communist morality" was the sole criterion and directive for cultural activity. The subsequent politicization of all art forms quickly overflowed into other fields, notably higher education, the sciences, and the media. It involved an extensive flurry of "criticism and self-criticism" with several targets: activities and works that seemed "irrelevant" to Soviet reality and its challenges; "groveling" to the West and its cultural and scientific values and achievements; and "bourgeois nationalism," although this would appear to be the antithesis of cosmopolitanism, which is inherently universal and therefore antinationalist.
The onslaught upon Jewish "cosmopolitans" was given wide publicity. It was initiated in mid-December 1948 at the Twelfth Board Plenum of the Writers Union, where Jewish drama critics were depicted as representatives of a "hostile group" striving to conceal "antipatriotic views." In late January 1949, a Pravda editorial lashed out against these same critics, emissaries of "rootless cosmopolitanism," to whom the "sentiment of Soviet national pride was foreign" and who sought flaws in patriotic and politically purposeful works. Party criticism, the article laid down, will "smash/crush the bearers of views alien to the people." Other papers and journals focused on Jewish critics, literary figures, and intellectuals, reiterating charges of "formalism," "aestheticism," "kowtowing" to the West, rejecting the achievements of Soviet and prerevolutionary Russian culture, and being alien to and contemptuous of the Russian nation and its traits.
When Jewish "cosmopolitans" used non-Jewish-sounding pseudonyms, the original names or patronymics would be provided in parentheses to highlight their ethnic identity. The media similarly made frequent use of Jewish family names as collective nomenclatures—the Iuzovskiis and Gurviches, the Borshchagovskiis, frequently rendering the first letter in lower case. Jewish "rootlessness" was underscored by phrases such as "lacking kith or kin" and "passportless vagabonds." Purportedly, group favoritism had enabled these Jews to attain influential positions in Soviet cultural life, publishing houses, professional magazines, and elite associations.
By mid-February 1949, the campaign had turned into a large-scale incitement and purge operation. The central and local media reported numerous party meetings at which secretaries of professional aktivs (leadership groups) and cells condemned their peers for manifestations of cosmopolitanism in literature, theater, music, architecture, the natural sciences, higher education, and a host of other fields. Frequent and extensive personnel changes in institutions followed; the accused were removed from their posts and professional organizations and expelled from the party, and their works were no longer published.
Just as the campaign had gained momentum rather suddenly in late January 1949, it changed course in late March without explanation. Jewish intellectuals, academics, and members of the free professions continued to be censured and purged, yet their Jewishness was no longer underscored and the crudest and most blatant expressions of antisemitism were dropped. While the "cosmopolitan" remained an unequivocal traitor, the campaign shifted to broader ideological issues relating to the cold war and interbloc confrontations.

A hot tub shouldn't prevent you from getting away from home, and just because you own a property that isn't your full-time residence doesn't mean that installing a hot tub is a poor choice if you think it would add to the value of you and your family's experience there.
If you're planning on heading off for a summer getaway, the checklist for your hot tub might just be the easiest part of getting ready to go.
For shorter stays away from the house, there are a number of water treatment options available dependent on the duration of your absence from the house that will ensure that your hot tub water and equipment stays healthy and balanced, and ready for when you return.
Be sure to secure your cover with hurricane straps. Along with securing your hot tub and keeping dirt from entering your water, this will lower your electricity costs by trapping in the heat.
For longer vacations of over 7 days, it's extremely important that you take the time to prepare your hot tub correctly.
By following these simple steps, you'll have a happy, healthy hot tub when you return.
For extended stays away, draining the hot tub prior to departure might be the best option. You should drain and fill at least 3 or 4 times a year anyways, so you can use this as an opportunity to ensure you have fresh, safe water after you return.
So even if you're a big traveler, owning and maintaining a hot tub should never keep you from going on new adventures. Just do the proper preparation and you'll have your own private vacation you can escape to every single day ready in your own backyard when you return.

WATCH: Gordon Hayward highlights vs Phoenix Suns (17 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast)
Boston Celtics veteran forward Gordon Hayward had an outstanding tune-up against the Phoenix Suns Sunday as the Celtics won their second of three exhibition scrimmages to be held ahead of the official eight seeding games remaining in the 2019-20 season restart held at the Disney NBA campus.
The Butler product showed no signs of the foot irritation that had bothered him at times during the regular season before the hiatus.
He even took a stab at the same sort of alley-oop that led to the heinous ankle injury that caused the foot trouble at the start of his Celtics tenure in the first place, so it is safe to say his confidence levels are high.
It showed too, with Hayward logging 17 points, 6 rebounds and three assists on the night, looking very ready to get back on the court for games that count.

Addicts in long-term recovery are desperate for a second chance at life. And while addiction treatment and recovery provides individuals with addiction issues with that chance, many people who either don't understand addiction or have never been affected by it in someway often use stigmatizing names like those mentioned above, tearing them down. Most "normies" (individuals who don't suffer from substance use disorder) who stigmatize addicts do so because they still believe and think that addiction is a choice.
Over the last couple of years however, recovering addicts have found their voice and have spoken out; using social media and blogs such as Facebook and our heroin support forum to fight back. No longer do addicts in long term recovery have to remain silent while they are attacked and stigmatized by the ignorant and arrogant. Thus, many recovering addicts possess their own Facebook pages and websites, creating live videos and writing articles in order to share their story and show the world that they've conquered addiction and have become upstanding members of society who love their children, have good jobs and no longer live a lifestyle of ongoing drug use. An addict in long-term recovery no longer lies, cheats, manipulates and steals and they are out there demonstrating this to the world. But then why do so many people still stigmatize addicts? Despite all the research available and at their fingetips, why do so many individuals claim that addiction is a choice?
To address those who believe addiction is a choice, we first have to define "choice". What exactly is a choice and does "addiction" classify as one? Ultimately, a choice is always an action and being addicted to something is a state of mind. A choice is never just a state of mind. However, isn't "addiction" just another word for ongoing drug use? If so, then isn't addiction a choice?
Most individuals who believe addiction is a choice mistake the disease of addiction for the physical act and choice of using drugs. Instead, addiction can be defined as the chemical and physical changes in the brain that cause a cognitive compulsion and ubiquitous connection to a particular substance or activity. This occurs when a substance or activity touches the pleasure center of the brain a certain way, creating a reaction in the brain that makes whatever caused the reaction feel/appear/seem almost impossible to resist. This makes stopping the activity or use of a particular substance much more difficult for that individual than someone who hasn't acquired the disease of addiction. See "Addiction Vs. Using Drugs – Why Addicts Can't Just Stop Using Heroin" for more information.
Calling the disease of addiction a choice because someone made the choice to use drugs would be like calling the disease of diabetes a choice because someone made the choice to eat unhealthy foods. It would also be like calling the disease of lung cancer a choice because someone chose to smoke cigarettes. Nobody chose to become a diabetic nor to did they choose to acquire lung cancer, even though they mad certain bad choices in conjunction with possessing a genetic predisposition (nature vs nurture). Likewise, nobody chose to come an addict even though they made bad choices to use drugs.
The primary difference however, is that most people who acquire lung cancer or diabetes quickly enter treatment and end up stopping activities that could further exacerbate their disease. Someone with the disease of addiction develops strong cravings (because of the chemical, physical and structural changes in the brain) and typically keeps using drugs. However, it is still possible to choose help and treatment. But this difference does not make the disease of addiction and the physical act of using drugs the same thing. Using drugs is a choice, addiction isn't. It's as simple as that.
Again, ongoing drug use is a choice but it's just much harder for an addict to stop whereas the actual addiction (the physical, chemical and structural changes in the brain that are responsible for the cravings) is not a choice. See "Proof that Addiction is a Disease: How it Affects the Brain" for more information..
There is never an excuse for an addict to stigmatize another addict. Even if two individuals in recovery become angry at one another or don't like each other for some reason, calling each other "druggies", "junkies", "drug addicts", etc. is just not acceptable. After all, it is the recovering addict who is crying out to the world in hopes that everyone else will stop the stigma. But how can recovering addicts expect others who don't understand addiction to stop the stigma if recovering addicts don't stop the stigma themselves?
While it would be far better if everyone in the world got along and nobody got into heated arguments or fights, at the very least, we advise recovering addicts not to stigmatize one another and make the fight against stigma harder than it already is.

'Coregasm' or Orgasm With Exercise Is Real, Says Kinsey Study
Most common triggers are abdominal crunches, rope climbing and weight lifting.
SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES
Dirty MindsKayt Sukel has orgasm measured in brain MRI.
March 20, 2012— -- Meredith, a 19-year-old psychology student from New York, remembers that "weird tingly feeling" as a child, doing workouts for gymnastics.
She called it the "candlestick," the exercise where she would raise and lower her legs, tightening her lower abdominal muscles.
Now, a new study suggests some women don't need a lover or sexual fantasy to experience sexual pleasure or even orgasm. Exercise can do the trick.
For years, fitness and women's magazines have touted the apocryphal "coregasm," but now researchers say that hundreds of women are getting the unintended benefits of those tummy crunches.
Knowing the orgasm feeling was a bonus for Meredith, once she became sexually active, she said. And now, she openly talks about her coregasm.
"Being a part of so many clubs in college and get-to-know-you games, it's an ice breaker," she said.
An estimated 45 percent of the women who responded to the researchers' online request for women who had either exercise-induced orgasm (EIO) or exercise-induced sexual pleasure (EISP) said their first experience was during abdominal exercises, followed by weight lifting (26.5 percent), yoga (20 percent), bicycling (15.8 percent), running (13.2 percent) and walking/hiking (9.6 percent).
Any exercise that involves the core muscles seems to trigger that sense of pleasure -- chin-ups, climbing ropes and especially the "captain's chair," a rack with padded arm rests that allows the legs to hang free before lifting the knees to the chest.
A handful of women said they even had sexual feelings while mopping or walking.
From a physiological standpoint, "coregasm" makes sense, according to fitness experts. In both exercise and sex, the heart rate and breathing are faster and there is increased blood flow.
The study was published in a special issue of the peer-reviewed journal, Sexual and Relationship Therapy. Herbenick includes some of the experiences in her new book, "Sex Made Easy," due out in April.
"I was biking up a hill," she quotes one 41-year-old. "I had to really grind into the pedals. This must have caused me to rub on the seat in just the right away. I thought I was starting to cramp, but soon realized it felt great. [I] thought I should stop, but chose not to!
"I [had an orgasm] for the very first time shortly after that!" she said. "I never admitted to what had actually happened and I have tried to replicate it ever since -- with no luck!"
Another woman, 23, told Herbenick: "If I engage my lower stomach muscles -- the ones below my navel-- I get a sharp increase in pleasure, perhaps leading to orgasm. This is particularly true if I sit in a straddle position and reach forward. Also, if I lie on my back and stretch one of my legs up, pulling it towards me, I'll probably orgasm after a minute or two."
Herbenick, who is also an advice columnist, said this "exploratory" study is a first step to learning more about the "physical processes" of sexual pleasure.
"Exercise-induced orgasm is something we really know nothing about -- not scientifically," she said. "[Sexologist Alfred] Kinsey mentioned it in his ['Sexual Behavior in the Human Female'] book in 1953, and it sort of got left there."
Coregasms Dated Back to Childhood
Herbenick and her co-author Dr. J. Dennis Fortenberry, professor at the Indiana University School of Medicine, evaluated the responses of 370 women aged 18 to 63, who responded to their query online.
"We didn't know how many women we would find and it turns out, it wasn't that difficult," she said. "In five weeks, we found 100 women who had experienced orgasm and a couple of hundred others who didn't have orgasm but felt highly aroused and close to orgasm."
Researchers sent emails to various web sites geared to fitness and health. Of the respondents, 124 said they had experienced exercise-induced orgasm (EIO) and 246 reported exercise-induced sexual pleasure (EISP).
Most were in a relationship or married, and about 69 percent identified themselves as heterosexual.
Some older women told them that they had first experienced EIO or EISP in childhood during the President's Challenge, a fitness initiative that was launched in the 1960s. One woman said she had attained orgasm during exercise, but never when she had marital sex.
Other key findings of the study were that those who had experienced EIO and EISP had done so on more than 10 occasions. Most said they were self-conscious when it happened in public places, but about 10 percent could not control their experience.
Most said that when it occurred, they were not sexually fantasizing.
Of the EIO group, 51.4 percent reported experiencing an orgasm in connection with abdominal exercises within the previous 90 days.
Sheila Hageman, a mother and blogger from Stratford, Conn., said she has experienced "pleasure and even orgasmic like feelings" without fantasy or stimulation during yoga exercises.
"It usually happens after lots of sun salutations when I'm pretty drenched in sweat," said Hageman. "My whole is body buzzing from the movement and my mind enters this totally transcendental, but at the same time grounding, burst."
She's had the same experience with breathing exercises -- "the snapping in of your belly in a meditative state."
Terri Walsh, owner of ART Studio NYC, said of coregasm, "I believe it totally."
"I never had anybody have an orgasm in my presence -- as far as I know," said Walsh, 48. "But I definitely heard about it in my spinning classes. A lot of exercise, when it's done properly, can get you in tune with your body. Sometimes you get in tune with it quicker than your mind can."
Walsh said she has also heard of women having orgasms during yoga with deep abdominal contractions that can expand to the pelvic floor.
"Sometimes "it's a surprise to the woman who's getting it," she said.
Herbenick said that research will continue in order to help those who may never have experienced orgasm.
"These data are interesting because they suggest that orgasm is not necessarily a sexual event, and they may also teach us more about the bodily processes underlying women's experiences of orgasm," she said.
The study also might normalize the experience for women, or possibly enhance arousal during masturbation or sex with a partner, according to Herbenick.
"It may be that exercise -- which is already known to have significant benefits to health and well-being -- has the potential to enhance women's sexual lives as well," she said.

The 5th Wave


Every winter I never seem to have enough long sleeved tops to wear in the cold weather, and I wonder what I could have possibly worn the previous winter. Funnily enough when summer rolls around I also seem to lack short sleeved tops in my wardrobe and again wonder what goes on in my wardrobe in the intervening season!
Anyway, winter has finally rolled in to Sydney and I decided to make a number of quick and easy knit tops at my sewing weekend away at the end of May to fill the hole in my wardrobe. All Burda of course, since that's what I seem to naturally reach for these days.
I used some metallic gold linen that was left over from another project for the shoulder inserts. It is hard to capture the shine of this fabric, but it really makes this top a bit more dressy than your standard round neck tshirt.
I've made my version in a thin pink marle textured knit that has been in the stash for a long time. I'll definitely be wearing my version with a bra though, because I don't have the kind of confidence that the Burda model is displaying in the photo above!
The sleeves and body of this top are very long which I knew from my previous versions and yet I forgot about when I cut this pattern out. The body length is fine because it can be tucked in, but those sleeves are somewhat annoying (not annoying enough to fix though).
I bought some lovely jersey fabric from Tessuti in 2014 when they held their Jaywalk competition - I couldn't think of anything imaginative enough to make from it at the time but this is a good use. The fabric is very soft with great recovery and wears very well.
I did change the pattern slightly by sewing a cuff with vertical stripes for a bit of interest but otherwise this is a straight size 34 pattern. Gotta love working with knit fabrics - so much less fitting required than all the woven jackets and dresses I usually work with.
And check out that pattern matching - side seams and shoulder seams! If only there were awards for such achievements, but I guess I'll have to make do with my own satisfaction.
I've got two other long sleeved tops and one UFO recently finished (but not yet photographed) which should see me through this winter - but I'm sure that in a year's time I'll be once again lamenting the lack of warm tops in my wardrobe!
First of all, thank you to everyone for so many lovely and encouraging comments to my last post. The intent of the post was more to explain my absence and sporadic posing of late, but I am very grateful for all of you that took the time to comment - it's nice to know that so many of you are interested in what I have to say still after all these years!
Life is still going to be a little bit crazy for me for at least the next two months - I have a major work project that needs to be delivered in mid July, my daughter's school fete is later this month which I'm part of the organising committee, and I'll be sewing 28 jackets for the dance troupe at my daughter's school if they audition successfully for the School Spectacular which is in September. Add to that all the usual commitments involved in being a wife, mother and friend - no wonder I feel like I'm busy every moment of the day!
Luckily sewing is not a chore for me, it's (mostly) a relaxing outlet, so I'm certainly still making projects. I was a few days late in finishing last month's Burda project, but it is done at last. And I'm continuing my love affair with colour - this fabric is a very pretty pale coral colour which received many compliments from my fellow sewers at my recent ASG sewing retreat when I started sewing it.
Unusually for my Burda of the month challenge, I purchased this fabric specially for this project - mostly I've always used stash fabric. The pattern requiring lightweight softly draping blouse fabrics, and surprisingly I didn't really have anything I wanted to use in my stash. Luckily I was at The Remnant Warehouse a few weeks ago buying gold sequin fabric for those 28 jacketsmy daughter's school dance troupe, when I spied this wonderfully soft polyester with a slight amount of stretch for some bargain price.
While the fabric itself is lovely, I'm not sure it's the best choice because those pleats at the front just seem to drape rather than keep the pleat lines like the magazine photo. Plus it's a bit sheer so my bra and the facings show through. I think a lightweight cotton like a cotton voile or thin poplin may have been a better choice. That's also the reason why I chose to leave off the turned up cuff on the sleeve hems, because in this fabric it just drooped and I didn't really want to topstitch the cuff.
Overall the fit was a little bit funny - it was very roomy under my arms and through the back, but there didn't seem to be enough room across the front when I pressed the pleats along the marked lines. Since I'm an A cup it seemed unusual for it not to fit across the bust - if you're better endowed than I and are thinking of making this top it is something to keep in mind. I ended up ironing the fabric flat to take out the pressed lines and have just left it draping where it falls.
First, you do need to mark all those lines on your fabric, because my lazy way of using pins will not work - you need to know the difference between the lines the fabric is folded and the lines that mark the centre front placement lines.
So the first step is to make an inverted pleat at the centre front, by bringing the lines on either side of the centre front to meet in the middle (ie 'first' and 'second' in the photo above). Press these folded lines for about 5cm down from the top.
The second step is then to fold along the left side pleat line (the purple line marked 'third' in the first photo), and then bring this to the centre front so that it lays diagonally over - the vertical orange line should line up with the centre front. Press that folded fabric down. Then do the same with the right side pleat line - you can see in the photo below how it sits diagonally, but the curve of the neckline lines up properly when it's all folded in place. Give it a final press and baste a few stitches across the top to hold it all in place.
Hopefully that makes sense and is helpful! It's quite difficult to describe and it took me a few tries to get this right. Also I don't think it matters if you do left over right or vice versa. Apart from the neckline it is a pretty straightforward project. I wasn't sure if this project was going to work out, so I just overlocked all the seams instead of using French seams which would have suited this fine fabric better but would have been a little bit more effort. I also just machine stitched the sleeve hem and bodice hem instead of doing a rolled hem or narrow hem which also would have looked better.
It is quite bulky at the centre front though, with all those layers from the pleats plus the facing. Again, I didn't want to topstitch since I couldn't find an exactly matching thread colour. I hand stitched the front facing to the bottom layer of the pleats at the centre front where it wouldn't be visible from the outside and I also stitched it down at the shoulders. I've left the back facing free though - fingers crossed it doesn't flip out when I'm wearing it.
This is not my usual silhouette, and I'm not sure I'm going to call this one a success yet - I'll try it with a few different outfits before I declare it a success or not. If I do make this again, I think I'll use the front of this pattern, but use the back and sleeves of Burda 8/2015 #120 (this top with drape front) because that pattern has a neater fitting shape to it. I would also use a slightly crisper fabric to make those pleats stand out more.
I think this may be my first Burda this year that I'm no so happy with, so I guess 1 from 5 is a pretty good rate so far!

The Schell Creek Range is a linear mountain range in central White Pine County, in east-central Nevada.  Its length is approximately  in a north-south direction. Most of the range is contained within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, with some of the range also included in the High Schells Wilderness.

The range comprises two major groups of peaks.  The southern section rises from a point near Burnt Peak in Lincoln County, reaching the summit of Mt. Grafton, , just north of the border with White Pine County.  To the west are remote Cave Valley and the Egan Range, while to the east are U.S. Route 93 and the Fairview Range (Lincoln County).  North of Mt. Grafton, the range drops quickly to a line of lower summits, eventually reaching  Connors Pass.  That is where U.S. Route 50, the "Loneliest Highway in America", crosses the range, connecting the nearby community of Ely with the Great Basin National Park and west-central Utah.

North of Connors Pass the range continues into its higher northern section.  To the west is Ely, Nevada, while to the east are Spring Valley and the high Snake Range, (including Great Basin National Park, Wheeler Peak, and Mt. Moriah).  Within this section of the Schell Creek Range are Cave Lake State Park and the scenic road over Success Summit into Duck Creek Basin.  The crest continues to rise, reaching South Schell Peak at , Taft Peak at , and North Schell Peak which, at , is the high point of the range.  Nearby are the Timber Creek and Berry Creek campgrounds (and trailheads).

The range then makes a slow descent to lower elevations, dropping to Schellbourne Pass at , where the Overland Stage Line, the Pony Express, and the Transcontinental Telegraph made their way through the Great Basin.  Just west of the range was the Egan Canyon Pony Express Station.  From there, the range ascends to Becky Peak at  before quickly descending to the floor of Steptoe Valley near Lages Station.

This week, Israel officially commemorates the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. In the midst of the public meetings, school ceremonies and dedications, one thing is painfully clear to Yoram Peri: Contrary to what so many people had anticipated and hoped 10 years ago, if there were lessons to be learned from the assassination, Israeli society hasn't learned them. In his recently released book, Brothers at War: Rabin's Assassination and the Cultural War in Israel (Babel Publishers, 2005, Hebrew), Peri, head of the Haim Herzog Institute for Media, Politics and Society and professor of political sociology and communications at Tel Aviv University, has produced the first comprehensive analysis of the events that led to the assassination and the manner in which Israeli society has coped with its aftermath. From the perspective of the decade that has passed, Peri, 61, reaches the conclusion that the assassination of Rabin was the symptom of a culture war. He also warns that another political assassination is on the horizon. Brothers at War, like the author's life, enmeshes politics, journalism and academia. With degrees in political science from the Hebrew University and London School of Economics, Peri served as Labor Party spokesman during Golda Meir's term as prime minister. Later, he served as a personal political advisor to Yitzhak Rabin. He left politics to become a journalist and publicist, as well as editor-in-chief of the now-defunct Hebrew daily, Davar. Among his previous publications are The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin (Stanford University Press), Between Battles and Ballots: Israel Military in Politics (Cambridge University Press) and Telepopulism: Media and Politics in Israel (Stanford University Press). The analyses he puts forth in Brothers at War, that emphasize the role of the media in establishing collective memory, are based both on personal experiences and academic research conducted over the past decade. Some of the data was previously published in academic journals, but as a whole, this book marks the first comprehensive study of Israel's first political assassination that is available to the average reader. Peri's journalistic background enables him to present abstract theories and complex social phenomena in a user-friendly way, providing illustrations from popular culture, including bumper stickers and graffiti. It is this combination of depth and simplicity that make the book such a compelling read. Peri reveals that he began his research on the night of the assassination. "My family and I had been at the rally [where Rabin was assassinated], but we had left early and come home. I heard the news on television. As the hours passed, I began to think of texts I had analyzed, theories I knew. Suddenly, I was seeing these things enacted in front of my eyes. "My daughter said to me, 'You're so cynical.' Instead of being emotionally involved, I was analyzing what I heard and saw. It is natural for me to use my analytic skills to understand a situation, but I also know that this was my own way of dealing with the pain and the loss." You worked very closely to Rabin for many years. Yet your book is an analysis of Israeli society and not of Rabin, his life or his legacy. I had high regard for Rabin, but I never worshipped him, and I did not want to write a biography about him. I knew his weaknesses. He was unbelievably closed and suspicious by nature. And he hated intellectuals. I worked very closely with him, yet we were not close, and we were never truly friends. Rabin was also a very fair person. And he was very direct and to the point. He was able to see the broader picture and think of the greater good. He thought of people in an instrumental fashion, but in the positive sense of the word, in the sense that he evaluated how people could help to advance his work, not how they could advance him personally. He believed in real politik. But I consider myself an anthropologist of Israeli society. I do the work I do in order to have an effect on Israeli society. It is my form of tikkun olam, making the world better and contributing to civil society. From my studies and experience, I know that a political assassination is a dramatic event that can teach us much about Israeli society. And I have written [this book] because I am very worried and concerned about Israeli society. You argue that Rabin's assassination was a symptom of Israel's ongoing culture war. I see Israeli society as made up of two main camps, which I call the "metro" and the "retro." This distinction is much broader and deeper than the divisions that we usually talk about - Left-Right, secular-religious, and so forth. It includes many more components. The struggle between metro and retro is a struggle over the character of our state, over the way in which we want to live, over the basic values of our society. It is a struggle between the metro, who believe that the country should be run according to humanitarian and universalistic principles, and the retro, those who believe that Israel is inherently different and separate, that, as the Bible says, Israel is a nation that will dwell alone, and that we must always "remember Amalek." The metro are largely urban, tend to be liberal and secular, and place a high emphasis on Western, democratic values. They define themselves more as Israelis than as Jews. The retro tend to be religious and to define themselves more as Jews than as Israelis. And since one camp's dream is the other camp's nightmare, we can see the depth of the culture war. Isn't this a rather simplistic distinction? Of course, metro and retro are ideal types. It isn't possible to point to an individual and say, "This person is metro" or "That person is retro." And, of course, each of us is comprised of both types. I consider myself metro, but my Jewishness is very important to me. There are very few metros who are really as humanistic and universalistic as the ideal type, and certainly not all religious people - not even all haredim - are completely retro. These are ideal types, and the question is whether they help us to understand something about Israeli society. I think they do. This culture war isn't unique. It's happening all over the world. As you note in the book, Benjamin Barber wrote about this in Jihad vs. McWorld, and Thomas Friedman in The Lexus and the Olive Tree. What is special about Israel? Our problem here in Israel isn't the struggle. It's the situation in which this struggle is taking place. Under other circumstances, the struggle could continue for many years and would never deteriorate into violence. But the struggle here is particularly dangerous for three reasons: First, Israel is the only society with no agreed-upon borders. Without clearly defined borders, there is no clear definition of who is part of the national collective and who is not, who is in and who is out. For that reason, we actually have a political party set to run in the next elections on a platform supporting removing a section of central Israel - where hundreds of thousands of people were born and continue to live - because they are Arabs. Second, we have a high level of illegal behavior in this country, tolerated by even the highest authorities. There is little respect for the law from the highest to the most grass-roots level. My studies show that fully 15 percent of the public says it is legitimate to oppose government decisions by using illegal measures. Four percent of the public even justifies the use of violence. Third, we do not have a constitution, and large portions of the public are not committed to the rules of democracy. Forty percent of Israelis give the same weight to rabbinic dictates as they do to decisions taken by the Knesset. For one half of the population, the [Rabin] murder was a traumatic, even a defining, moment in their lives. The other half can't even remember the date of the assassination. Eighty percent of the religious population believes that Rabin's assassination was just "a regular murder," and 72% of the Right gave the same answer. Under these circumstances, the culture war is ripping our society apart. This is why the Rabin assassination didn't create national unity or reduce violence. Yet disengagement passed without violence. I don't know where this sense of relief about disengagement comes from. Disengagement did not pass without violence. Ten people were killed in the two weeks of disengagement. Remember the levels of illegal behavior - the disdain for the authorities, for the army and the police. And there were terrible threats against public leaders. I believe the only reason they didn't come true was because of the tremendous security surrounding those leaders. Our prime minister is the most guarded leader in the western world. Are you concerned that the culture war you speak of will lead to a civil war? No, not in the sense of army against army. There are too many things that bind us together: a sense of common history, our common language and heritage. And we have a sense of common destiny. But the hatred between the groups is so strong that I do believe we will see more fourth-level war, that is, personal terrorism. Including another political assassination? Yes, of course. The public has convinced itself that because it hasn't happened again, it won't happen again. I disagree. The assassination of Rabin was the result of the culture war and not its cause. As the culture war continues, under the conditions in which we live, another political assassination isn't only possible, it's very likely. Did Rabin leave a legacy around which the public could unite? Of course he left a legacy. Every human being leaves a legacy. Rabin's legacy is very clear and he was so successful that we simply take it for granted. Until Rabin, most leaders believed that Israel must make peace with the Arab states, under what was known as the "Jordanist" doctrine. Rabin was the first who came to power as a "Jordanist," then recognized that the Palestinian problem was the key to the conflict. This was a radical change in Israeli doctrine and thinking. Is there anyone of any importance today who does not accept that thesis? We forget that Rabin was the first to adopt it. Second, Rabin was the first to act on the concept that this conflict cannot be solved by force. He tried force and he realized that we must maintain our strength, but force and strength alone will not resolve the conflict. Is there anyone of any importance today who doesn't accept this? Even Sharon has come to accept this legacy, and so have 85% of the Israeli public. You don't mention Rabin's social legacy. Yet his administration's investments in infrastructure, education and the Arab sector were higher than they had been in decades. Yes, Rabin did have a social agenda. But that agenda was a function of the end of the conflict. He understood that until we ended the conflict, we would not be able to move forward. In that way, he was very similar to French president Charles De Gaulle and the Fourth Republic. He understood that France would never be part of European unity until they got out of Algeria. So on this anniversary, what should we be observing and commemorating? We should be dealing with the real questions that we are facing here, the questions of the real conflict. We should be asking, "What do we want the character of the state to be? How do we make ideological and moral decisions? What are the goals of Israeli society? What is the role of religion in our society? What is the role of democratic procedure?" These are the real questions, the ones behind the assassination. The commemoration of the assassination has been hijacked by the conflicts among us. The Right - fearful that the assassination will have discredited it and pushed the peace process forward - is trying to avoid dealing with the assassination at all. Some of the ultra-Orthodox schools aren't even officially observing the day, even though the law says they must, and some officials in settlements like Elkana planned to use the day to tell students that Rabin had armed Israel's enemies. And the Left - fearful that they won't be able to put their worldview in place any other way - has tried to claim Rabin for themselves, creating events that the Right simply can't attend. So the real issues are not dealt with. Instead, the country is busy naming every tree and electricity pole after Rabin. As if putting his name on a school or a hospital will help us remember what really matters. Instead, many of the newspapers have been ridiculously discussing the conspiracy theories, as if that were the main issue. A teacher proposed that we mark the murders of Rabin and Rehavam Ze'evi on the same day, since they were both ministers and both were killed in November. The fact that one was murdered by a Jewish citizen of Israel and the other by a Palestinian enemy, or that one tried to create peace with the Palestinians, while the other wanted to transfer them out of Israel - those points aren't even relevant to her. I can't believe she is that stupid - I think that this suggestion is part of the general attempt to make us forget the real issues. We are still unable to decide if Rabin was the leader of the country or of one camp. Leah Rabin was wrong when she tried to make him the leader of a camp. In the past few years, their daughter, Dahlia Rabin, has tried harder to remember Rabin as the leader of our nation, of all of us. How did you personally commemorate the assassination? First of all, I was at Rabin Square on Saturday night. I attend all the rallies in that square - not only out of identification, but out of my professional interest, too. The event on Saturday expressed everything I have been talking about. As a member of the Left, I found it uplifting. For the first time in four years, there was a sense of hope and energy. The speakers talked about peace, which was, after all, Rabin's way, and we can't not talk about it. The speakers provided an alternative, spoke openly about the Oslo Accords and the end of the occupation. It was the first time in four years that we heard a true opposition. But on the other hand, it was clearly a left-wing event. With the exception of Justice Minister Tzippi Livni's outstanding speech, it was one-sided. The organizers should have brought in a wider variety of speakers, a religious representative, for example, who, like Livni, could have spoken about opposition to a political policy and opposition to violence. As for me, in a way, because of my relationship and because of the book, I, too, have become part of the "Festival of Rabin Commemorations." But I have spoken with groups of teachers, young officers, students - anyone who will listen to the real questions. And I think it is much more important than singing another sad song or lighting another memorial candle.

The Springfield College club mens ice hockey team isn't entering the 2019-20 season alone.
For the first time in school history, Springfield has established a women's club ice hockey team, and they're set for their inaugural season.
The new program is currently without a team manager, although men's club ice hockey manager Will Landry is ready to provide whatever is needed to help them take off.
"We have a pretty good thing going here, and if they ever need help, I'm sure they'll reach out," Landry said.
In his third year managing the team, Landry believes that the sport is heading in the right direction. With the addition of a womens team, the sport has a growing presence on Alden Street.
"It's pretty cool having them on campus, I think it's a big step for our school," Landry said. "I know Mary-Beth Cooper loves hockey; she's helped grow the program up at RIT. Having hockey on campus is good, especially when it's all-inclusive."
After playing youth hockey and his high school career, Landry never took to the ice again after suffering a broken clavicle. Still desiring to be involved with the sport, he found his opportunity with Springfield.
Three years later, he's been paramount in growing the game.
"I love hockey. Ever since I was a young kid I was into it," Landry said. "Being a (Detroit) Red Wings fan with traditions and all that. Hockey's in my blood."
With Landry's graduation set at the end of the fall semester, there will be a need for a new team manager to finish off the campaign in the spring. Until then, he's primed to carry out his duties through a deep-rooted love of the game.
The men's team has three senior captains this year: defensemen Doug Shane and Matthew Gazaille, and forward Jamie Matteo.
Two notable losses from the roster include Travis Price and Marc Steele.
Price had played through his four undergraduate seasons, along with his grad year. The upperclassmen joked about retiring the No. 2 jersey in his honor.
"He was huge, he was energy," Shane said. "He brought everything to the team. He scored when we needed him to, and he hit. He was on our penalty kill; he did everything he needed to for us."
Steele graduated and recently signed with the Columbus River Dragons of the Federal Hockey League, the second player in the past two years from the program to sign a professional deal.
Aside from Shane and Gazaille, with the departure of Andrew Schmidt from graduation, Chris Clemmenson opting out of the season due to focusing on internships in the Spring, and Liam Fitzgerald joining the Air Force, the only other returning defenseman is sophomore Hayden Choate.
There's currently a position battle for starting goalie, one that's leaning towards George Matteo. Freshman Greg Lucente and junior Griffin Spear, a transfer from New England College, are also contending for goalkeeper.
"It's a good battle to have when you're battling for the starting goalie position," Shane said.
With nine freshmen, the team has substantial young talent.
"We want to lead by example, show the freshmen, get everybody active right away, and go from there," Shane said.
The new additions are already bonding with the returning core. Making the transition from high school to the college level has involved substantial reps at practice. The new recruits will play in the top line all-throughout the season as the club focuses on building up their roster.
"I'm looking forward to forming a brotherhood," defenseman Tino Pizzarella said.
Forward Matthew Hermann added, "I'm looking forward to bond as a team, get to know everybody, and play hard and get it."
The Pride will drop the puck on the 2019-20 campaign with three divisional games in the NECHA Colonial South.
In their first game of the season on Oct. 20 at 5:00 p.m. The Pride will travel to Coast Guard. Their home opener will be held at Smead Arena on Oct. 25 at 5:00 p.m. as they host Harvard.
The University of New Haven will come to Springfield two days later for a 4:30 p.m. matchup. There will likely be familiar faces in attendance, as the club has a strong alumni following.
"It's awesome, this locker room, ever since I started, is like no other," Landry said. "I love walking in there every day (and) getting to see all the boys. That carries on to the past alumni too. Charlie Murphy, Steve Young, and Jake Barnacle all hang around and make sure their faces are seen once in a blue moon. It's awesome to have such a tight group of alumni that really care about our well-being and how we're doing."
Two large white banners hang in Smead. Proudly printed on them is "NECHA Colonial Conference Champions" from their 2017 and 2018 seasons. Along with making regionals last year, the Pride have seen a lot of success in recent times. With the level of expectation comes the former players that still support their old teammates.
"It gives us something to work for," Shane said. "Fill the shoes that were there when I was a freshman. The seniors, we want to do well for them because they're watching."
With a large and talented incoming class and strong alumni following, along with a women's expansion club, hockey will have a strong presence on campus this year.

Q: Using MACROS in item key definition I have a problem with using a predefined macro in Zabbix. I have defined two macros as following:
{$HOSTNAME}=2008-windows-server
{$IPADDRESS}=192.168.1.1
I want to use them in the item name and item key. macro {$HOSTNAME} maps to its value correctly when it is using in the Name section of the item. But when I used the {$IPADDRESS} in the key of that item, it does not convert to the ip address so I get Not Supported error !! I use it like following:
getNetFlowProto[{$IPADDRESS},udp]
getNetFlowProto is a UserParameter which I defined in the zabbix_agend.conf file.
Any help appreciated.

A: Based on a rather lengthy communication, looks like the following happened :

*

*you used Zabbix macros (variables) in both item name and key

*you checked that the macro in the item name resolved in the monitoring and configuration section, but the macro in the item key did not resolve (in the configuration section)

That might be caused by the fact that Zabbix does not resolve all macros in all of the configuration pages. That's not very consistent and not clearly documented.

*

*you saw the item not working

That could be caused by a typo and possibly by a delay of the configuration cache - as you make changes to items, Zabbix server might still operate with the previous configuration for up to a minute. You might have seen the previous error, but thought that it was generated by the latest configuration. This guess is supported by the fact that it eventually worked you with what was supposedly the same macro.

Q: Your app is using a version of libjpeg-turbo containing a security vulnerability Google play store gives me this error when I am trying to send my application for review.

Your app is using a version of libjpeg-turbo containing a security
vulnerability. Please see this Google Help Center article for details,
including the deadline for fixing the vulnerability.

Consulting Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/7008337 says I should be using a libjpeg-turbo v1.4.2 or higher.
My problem is that I am already using version 2.1.4.
This is a copy paste from my CMakeList.txt
include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(turbojpeggit
        GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo
        GIT_TAG 2.1.4
        )
FetchContent_GetProperties(turbojpeggit)
if(NOT turbojpeggit_POPULATED)
    message("libjpeg-turbo not populated... downloading")
    FetchContent_Populate(turbojpeggit)
    add_subdirectory(${turbojpeggit_SOURCE_DIR} ${turbojpeggit_BINARY_DIR})
    include_directories(${turbojpeggit_SOURCE_DIR})
    include_directories(${turbojpeggit_BINARY_DIR})
    message("libjpeg-turbo downloaded")
else()
    message("libjpeg-turbo already populated")
endif()

So I guess this is a false positive but I am unable to publish my application because of this.
Please help me.

A: I tried contacting Google but got no answer yet.
However, I managed to get the application published by linking against the static version of the libjpeg-turbo library.
Note there is a ENABLE_SHARED option in libjpeg-turbo that should be set to OFF.
To verify you aren't using the shared version, you can unarchive the apk and check you don't have any of these files:
lib/arm64-v8a/libturbojpeg.so
lib/armeabi-v7a/libturbojpeg.so
lib/x86/libturbojpeg.so
lib/x86_64/libturbojpeg.so


The first name Elio, is shared by my father and my son. This reminds us to stay connected to our roots while also looking forward to our future. We have been called an "Oenological tailor's shop" for our unique attention to detail with each harvest, each wine and each label. Just as my father taught me, I will do the same with my son Elio.
What does it mean to be an Oenological tailor's shop? It means I cater to my vineyards. I observe the plants and study the lines of their bodies. During summer, I love imagining the forms my wines will have after the harvest, in order to be able to nurture them and enhance them, so that they can fully express themselves. Managing a vineyard is about sensibility, not supremacy.
We start with a commitment to creating extraordinary wines. Each bottle must express its own original vision or an unprecedented interpretation of a classic. Whether international grapes or traditional grapes from territories such as Barbera or Muscat are used, we intend to tell the story of our family through our research and development work. Our wines are ready to leave the cellar only when we consider them complete and looked after up to the final detail.

HP ZBook Studio G3 review
Is it a workstation, an Ultrabook, or both?
By Desire Athow 01 June 2016
A 4K beauty
HP has delivered a beautiful product with the ZBook Studio. However, there have been some important concessions made due to aesthetic factors which may disappoint pragmatics who prefer substance over style.
Gorgeous finish
Quadro GPU comes with 4GB memory
Thunderbolt 3 ports
No DisplayPort
No option for mechanical drives
Battery is not removable, no higher capacity models
Battery life is relatively poor
Introduction and design
Specifications and performance
HP ZBook Studio deals
The last few months have been a bit of a rollercoaster for HP Inc, which together with HP Enterprise, made the HP that we knew.
The split has seemingly been a blessing in disguise for the company as it came up with some stunning new designs and an eagerness to innovate (see the HP Elite X3 or the new HP Spectre) that was sorely lacking just a few years ago.
The HP ZBook Studio G3 laptop was announced back in November 2015 and competes with Dell's Precision 15 5000 and Lenovo's ThinkPad P50 series in terms of performance, features, and also mobility.
There seems to be a clear strategy from the main vendors to take the lessons learned from the premium consumer market and apply them to the workstation market. That means having thin-and-light (15-inch diagonal or less) and standard (17-inch or more) form factors living side-by-side.
The Studio G3 easily fits in the Ultrabook category with a weight of a tad under 2kg and a thickness of only 18mm, slightly heavier and a smidge thicker than the Precision 15 5000 but more portable and svelte than Lenovo's option.
The Studio G3 starts from £1,400 at HP (around $2,020, or AU$2,785) – it's likely to be lower elsewhere – but our review sample (which you cannot buy direct from HP, only through value added resellers) bears a considerably heftier price tag of £2,100 (around $3,025, or AU$4,180).
That's pretty modest though, for a top of the range model that's expected to achieve desktop-grade performance both computationally and graphically, while on the move.
The Studio G3 reminds us a lot of the Dell XPS 15 thanks to that eye-catching silver edge that runs around the laptop's base unit. The laptop is built with a black studded aluminium and magnesium chassis that is pleasant to the touch.
You won't notice any fingerprints or smudges when you handle this device, which can't be said about some of its rivals. The studs give the Studio a nice shimmering texture, especially when held up to sunlight or in dark rooms with heavy overhead lighting. The word "bling" comes to mind.
We are not crazy about the tiny keys HP outfitted the Studio with, although they are decent and slightly curved. They are slightly softer than we were expecting and do have a fair bit of travel; the keyboard is backlit and spill resistant as well. Bearing in mind that this is a business laptop, we were somewhat disappointed by the lack of a numeric keypad.
We love the oversized trackpad which is located closer to the left edge – with a 5.5-inch diagonal, it is one of the largest we've seen on a laptop. It's a shame that it doesn't have dedicated physical mouse buttons.
As always when it comes to keyboards and trackpads, your mileage may vary. On either side of the keyboard are the grills that hide Bang & Olufsen-powered speakers.
The power button is located at the top-left while the Wi-Fi and volume buttons are on the top-right; there is also a fingerprint reader that sits near where your right-hand palm would rest.
Unlike the HP ZBook line-up, which features two metallic hinges at the far ends of the laptop, the Studio is built with a single long plastic hinge that is flexible, smooth and sturdy.
The use of plastic is debatable but it does feel a lot more pliable than the metallic hinges used on other devices, notably the smaller ZBooks and the Lenovo ThinkPad P50.
The bottom of the Studio G3 is divided into two sections, both of which are surrounded by a single thin rubber band, which is ideal for people like me who tend to drop their laptops on desks, rather than gently placing them.
The lower portion of the panel is rubber, but it doesn't feel or look cheap the way ruggedized devices do. The rubber material is designed with a snake-like pattern, so the rubber texture doesn't overpower the laptop's aesthetic.
The texture should also help to absorb some of the brunt of the force generated when you place the laptop down at an angle. The upper portion of the base of the laptop is mesh-vented, which should help to dissipate the heat generated by the processor and the graphics module.
This isn't the prettiest design you'll find, but it seems a necessary one, especially for users who are running processor-heavy tasks like video editing and graphic design.
Our only two concerns are the fact that it might leave odd-looking marks on your legs if you're wearing shorts, plus dust and other residue might clog the tiny holes.
That said the laptop was designed to pass the stringent MIL-STD 810G standard (although at the time of writing, HP said that the testing "was pending and not intended to demonstrate fitness" for the US DoD contract requirements).
The entire bottom of the laptop can be removed by undoing eleven screws – we love the fact that the screws can't be removed from their holes (i.e. they're fixed in place). This is great for IT departments and anyone else who likes to tinker with their laptop's innards.
