The Houston SaberCats (formerly the Houston Strikers) and the Sugar Land Skeeters have partnered to bring professional rugby to the Greater Houston area at Constellation Field.
The Houston ownership group explained that the new name would reflect a positive and stronger image for the Houston team, explaining that a "saber cat" was known for bringing down their competitors by force, while always staying true to their community.
"We are very supportive of the change, and we look forward to bringing first-class rugby to Houston," –said Jeremy Turner, CEO of Houston SaberCats.
Notable Players include Osea Kolinisau, Olympic gold Medalist (captain) winning Fijian Rugby 7s team; Kyle Sumison; Pagopagohokma Haini; Zach Pangelinan; and Matt Trouville of the USA Eagles; Connor Murray and Charlie Hewitt of the English Aviva Premiership; and Sam Windsor and Adam Macklin, the Guinness Pro 14s, Ulster stand-outs.
"What better way to welcome 2018 than to bring the thrills and skills of fast paced, hard hitting, professional rugby to the jewel that is Constellation Field in Sugar Land, said Justin Fitzpatrick, head coach for Houston SaberCats and former Irish International.
"Rugby is a spectacular, free flowing sport I recommend to all our Skeeters' fans," said Jay Miller, president of the Skeeters.
The Inaugural home stand season begins on Jan. 6, 2018, at Constellation Field, where they will be welcoming some of the best teams from North America. Season tickets are on sale now at www.HoustonSaberCats.com.
The Houston SaberCats will be joining teams such as Austin Elite, Denver Raptors, Seattle Seawolves, New Orleans Gold, Utah Warriors and San Diego when Major League Rugby launches in April 2018.
"We are excited about Houston's new brand as they build on the tremendous community they've already developed around the organization. Over the next 18 months MLR's members will make unprecedented investments in the American rugby infrastructure and change the face of the North American game. Houston is leading the way from youth and high school programs they are building to the development of a rugby specific stadium in the heart of one of America's biggest markets," said MLR Commissioner Dean L. Howes.

Hacking is an increasing concern in the 21st century which can lead to grave consequences if the sensitive information falls in the wrong hands. This "unauthorized intrusion" into computer networks has given many people sleepless nights causing a massive monetary and physical damage.
Hackers are broadly classified into three kinds—white hats, grey hats, and black hats—depending upon their reason behind the hacking. Some have gone ahead and added blue hats, red hats, and green hats to the categories of hackers based on their beliefs and behaviors. China accounts for the world's highest number of hackers which at the end of 2012 accounted for 41% of the global hacking traffic.
Here are some of the most insane hacking stories ever from around the world where hackers have done unbelievable things!
1. Using his knowledge of telephone systems, Kevin Poulsen, alias "Dark Dante," hacked the phone lines of a radio station to become the winning caller for a brand new Porsche. He was called the "Hannibal Lecter" of computer crime by the media.
A former "black-hat" hacker (a term that evolved from the use of black hats to depict cowboy villains and white to depict the heroic ones), Kevin Poulsen is infamous for the hacking stunt that he did on June 1, 1960. Now a 52-year-old journalist, Poulson hacked into the telephone lines of Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM to make sure that he was the 102nd caller to the win the prize of a Porsche 944 S2.
When the Federal Bureau of Investigation learned about his trick, they pursued him and he went underground. He was later found, arrested, and went to prison for five years. He was the first American ever to be released from prison with a ban on the use of a computer for three years. When he was featured on NBC's Unsolved Mysteries, the phone lines of the show mysteriously crashed.
2. The first person to unlock a first generation iPhone, George Hotz, also known as "Geohot," was only 17 then. He traded a second, unlocked iPhone for a Nissan and three locked iPhones.
In August 2007, 17-year-old George Hotz unlocked an iPhone becoming the first known person to do so. Unlocked iPhones were of high value as then they could be used with any of the carriers which was not what Apple or AT&T wanted. When he unlocked his second iPhone, he traded it for a Nissan 350z and three 8 GB iPhones with Certicell founder Terry Daidone. His was a hardware-based unlocking method which was the rage until an anonymous group discovered a software-based one.
3. A 15-year-old hacker, Jonathan James', actions made NASA shut down its network for three entire weeks to investigate the breach. He had hacked into NASA's network to download source code equaling the value of 1.7 million dollars to learn how the Internation Space Station worked.
Jonathan Joseph James, a hacker, was only 15 when he hacked into the systems of NASA and the United States Department of Defense (DOD) along with some private companies and schools in June 1999. A native of Miami who operated under the nickname of "Comrade," stole data worth 1.7 million dollars from 13 computers at NASA. NASA had to shut down its network for 21 days to investigate the breach that cost them an additional 41,000 dollars.
The source code that James stole controlled important elements for survival aboard the International Space Station including the controlling of temperature and humidity. NASA had to rewrite that part of the source code. He also became the first person in the world to crack into the network of DOD's Defense Threat Reduction Agency which is a division responsible for analyzing possible threats to the United States. He intercepted 3,000 messages that gave him access to usernames and passwords of several employees that also gave him access to ten military computers.
Kevin David Mitnick was a controversial hacker who was arrested in 1995 and sentenced to five years in prison for computer and communications-related crimes. His trial, arrest, and pursuit were all such high-profile that they created a lot of media buzz. He gained unauthorized access for the first time into a computer at the age of 16 in 1979 after a friend gave him the phone number for Ark, the computer system used by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). He was arrested for this in 1988 for 12 months followed by three years in a supervised release, but Mitnick hacked into another computer system before the supervised release ended and went into hiding.
He used cloned cell phones to hide his real location and stole valuable software from the United States' largest cell phone companies. He also read private e-mails of many people. When arrested, he was found with more than 100 cell phone clone codes and several cloned cell phones along with false identification documents. Out of the five odd years he served in prison, for four and a half years, he was on trial, and for the rest of his sentence of eight months, he was kept in solitary confinement. This was because a few law enforcement officers told a judge that he could whistle into a pay phone and start a nuclear war. This meant that Mitnick somehow knew how to dial into a NORAD modem via pay phone and communicate with it through whistling, to launch nuclear missiles.
5. "Your security system is crap. I am Solo. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels," was a message hacker Gary McKinnon left on 97 American military and NASA servers after he managed to delete sensitive data and software on them. The U.S. government had to spend over 700,000 dollars to recover it.

Helping a bushfire victim
Posted on Jan 30, 2020 by kavee | Comments (2) Share on Facebook
Few of us had the opportunity to visit a rural property completely burnt down from bushfire in the region of Lake Conjula, South Coast.
On Australia Day public holiday 27 January 2020, a few of us from the University of Kelaniya Alumni had an opportunity to visit a property completely burnt down in the bushfire in the region of Lake Conjula in the South Coast. It was with the motive of helping the property owner to clean up the debris that the fire has left. His name is Steve, and this is how our team, made a difference in his life.
Steve's story was heart breaking as he had spent 30 years of his life building this property with its cabins and a small lake in the middle, all of which took only 15 minutes for the blazes to reduce to ash. His vehicles, two cars, a tractor, a caravan, a motorcycle, a backhoe and a generator among the fridges, water tanks and a library he has built over the years now lay either in ashes or melted down to its metal frames.
Once a land covered in green grass with bougainvillea and jasmine vines the property was now reduced to piles of metal. The team started piling up the rubble and in a few hours, there were several piles of tin sheets, metal beams, chains etc., The young and the young at heart worked alike until the task saw its completion.
Steve had a story to relate with every site of debris being cleared; of his sister's cabin, of the little island he built in the middle of the waterhole and of the cosy little library of which only the stone walls were remaining. The work continued amid his occasional tearful recollections of a past that was no more.
It was a story of trauma, utter loss beside the destruction. Yet, there was hope of rebuilding. "If the giant burnt eucalyptus can bounce back to life, so can I." Steve exclaimed with determination. Living in a tent and a makeshift toilet, he spends average three days maximum on the site due to the lack of oxygen in the atmosphere, and the depressing sight. He leaves to the city to his son's family after clearing the place the way he can. He has put up a bird feeder in the hope of potential company of wild birds.
Steve was grateful for the work done which enables him to get the council to clear all the piles of debris and is hopeful of getting back on his feet. He was not in need of material goods but the man and womanpower beside the company of humans at least for one day which seemed to give him a lease of new life.
The team of UKAANA was accompanied by members of Lak Saviya Foundation Australia Incorporation (LSF) who worked tirelessly towards the clearance of the whole land area. Our appreciation to them.
Thank you to Prabhath, Chaminda, Inoka and their daughter Shehani and Catherine her friend, Melanie, Udaya, Renuka and their son Pavan, Upananda and his son Nipun, Pium, Roy, Ashok and to the family members who prepared the food that we shared with Steve and his sole companion Edward, the dog.
We all left content that a few hours of labour and company has made a difference in another man's life. Let us not forget, that this is just one story… there are thousands more.. Well done UKAANA for a great beginning to the year 2020!

The media constantly publishes stories about lottery winners and how it changed their lives. The truth is, people are incredibly interested in what they did before they won and how they're spending their money.
Many don't realize that lots of people have won so much money while playing at a casino. Let's talk about the three lucky ducks who hit it big and became instant millionaires while playing their favourite casino game.
What did they do before they won? What did they do with the money? Where are they now?
Ashley Revell
Ashley Revell's story is pretty insane. One day he was hanging out with friends in a pub when one of them mentioned how great it'd be if they could bet everything they had on one spin. So, Ashley decided to do exactly that, and won.
He sold everything he had in a car boot sale and flew from London to the Plaza Hotel in Vegas with only the clothes on his back and £80,000 in his pocket to place on one bet at a roulette table. Because the Plaza Hotel needed publicity, they booked him into a suite and offered to videotape the special spin which was eventually broadcast live on Sky Network.
He decided on black but changed his mind in the last minute and switched to red. This proved to be a great decision, because the ball landed on the red 7 which turned his £80 000 investment into £153, 680. After his lucky day, he traveled through Europe and met his wife. He also opened a poker site but it didn't work out. He now owns iGaming Recruitment and lives happily ever after with his wife and two kids.
Cynthia Jay Brennan
In 2000, Cynthia Jay Brennan didn't know her life was going to change forever. Back then she was a cocktail waitress before she won the biggest Megabucks jackpot in history, pocketing an incredible $34,959,458.56! After her win, she went through 9 weeks of euphoria. She married her boyfriend, celebrated her good luck and planned to travel the world.
Unfortunately only nine weeks after the best day of her life, she was driving her new car with her sister in the passenger seat when a drunk driver slammed into them, killing her sister and leaving her paralyzed. Today she's in a wheelchair and needs help to perform the simplest tasks. Her husband still works as a bartender in Vegas and both admit that if they had the chance, they would turn back time.
Elmer Sherwin
Elmer Sherwin must be one of the luckiest people on this planet, because he won the Megabucks jackpot ...TWICE! In 1989 he won $4.6 million when the Mirage opened its doors on the Vegas strip and again in Septemeber 2005.
At the time, the World War ll veteran was 92 years old and had a feeling that a machine at the Cannery Casino & Hotel in Vegas was lucky. Well, he was certainly right, because he won the $21,147,947 jackpot! He alrtuistically donated a lot of his winnings to the Hurrican Kartina relief fund and shared the rest with his family.

Bruce Campbell Quotes
35 Thought-Provoking Quotes By Bruce Campbell
Famous As: Famous for His Potrayal of Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead' Franchise
Born In: Royal Oak, Michigan, United States
Bruce Campbell is a celebrated American comedian, actor, writer, director, and producer. He is renowned for his portrayal in 'Evil Dead' franchise as 'Ash Williams.' He began his career in 1978 with a short film titled, 'Within the Woods.' He has appeared in a number of low-budget cult films including, 'Bubba Ho-Tep,' 'Maniac Cop,' 'Crimewave,' and 'Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat' amongst various others. As far as his television career is considered, he has played the lead in 'Jack of All the Trades,' and 'The Adventures of Brisco Country, Jr.' We have gathered a number of sayings and quotes by Bruce Campbell which have been collected from his writings, thoughts, movies, dialogues, interviews, utterances, works, and life. Here is a collection of noteworthy quotes and thoughts by Bruce Campbell.
Film & Theater Personalities
Once you look past the hype, actors are nothing more than fugitives from reality who specialize in contradiction: we are both children and hardened adults—wide-eyed pupils and jaded working stiffs.
You Past Children
All men think they're fascinating. In my case, it's justified.
If you ain't got socks, you ain't got much. But if you got 'em, you might as well pull 'em up. It's a statement of self-sufficiency. We should all be more self-governed.
The prospects were depressing: Adulthood meant that I'd have to stop having fun and do something I didn't really want to do for the rest of my life – which was apparently a considerable chunk of time.
Life Time I
We make our own problems every time. Everything that we complain about is something we can solve.
Sometimes you fail your chemistry test and other times it's explosive.
Only comedies can get you that engaged in a movie, dramas people just sort of sit there and eat their popcorn and nothing really happens, they might cry a little bit, but that's it. Horror movies are talking at the screen, guys are elbowing each other, laughing at each other because they got scared. That's the beauty of a horror movie.
Genres pop up and get hot and then they die down.
The Way I See It: If you're worried about getting a job-or keeping one-start a company of your own. By doing so, you'll reap the rewards of your hard work and you'll only get fired if you fail. This is the land of opportunity. Live in it.
If you go to Hollywood, you've already sold out.
It's very gratifying that someone likes what you're selling.
I don't care about the genre so much. I'm good with horror, but I like other genres, too.
'Evil Dead 1' was never supposed to have a sequel.
I'm not interested in making a $60-million studio film with a bunch of 24-year-olds telling me what to do.
You're not looking for the Rolls Royce and the big fancy trailer. Those are supposed to be the byproducts of having fun and then getting good at what you do.
Everybody's got brain matter in their hair, and somehow that makes it a very happy workplace.
Funny stories on set - there are thousands of them, but they are only funny to the people who were on the movies. You start to have inside jokes and gallows humor. You have all kinds of things you laugh at, but as soon as you tell somebody, the joke falls flat because they don't know the context of it.
Producers might cast an actor because he is too tall next to the leading lady, who is too short, or they might not cast your guy because he's blond, and they wanted a brunette. There's all kinds of reasons why they want one person over another. I don't worry about it, but it can hurt sometimes if you really wanted something, if you really went after something.
I think none of the humor in the first Evil Dead was intentional. We weren't that sophisticated. We got more sophisticated with Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness where you can start to manipulate the audience a little more, having more control over the medium instead of just trying to figure out how to do it. I suppose that's pretty normal with any craft. Every carpenter is better 20 years later.
You can't show up on set and expect it all to come together. You have to have a plan, much like how the director can't just show up and go, well, where should I put the camera? That is gonna determine how it is lit, you should have already been in the room looking at it earlier, pre-lit the room, you know there is a lot of prep that goes into it, so it is the same thing with acting. You can't just show up.
The happy medium is television. And if you find a good suitor, you can do it for years. With movies, you roll the dice. If people don't show that weekend, you're doomed. TV allows you to percolate a little bit, and it gives you a chance for people to find it.

Q: AngularJS - Unable to get Resolved Value of a Factory's Method which Uses Promises in Directive's TemplateUrl I'm working on a very modularized project and currently I'm building an Element Directive which changes templateUrl based on user login/logout.
To do that, I'm trying to execute a Factory's Function inside templateUrl. That particular functions calls another method from a JWT Factory and returns true if the user is logged or false if not.
Then, If in my templateUrl I receive true, I pick a certain url, if false another one.
But, sadly, I receive the following error:

[$http:badreq] Http request configuration url must be a string.  Received: {}

All $log.log() print the correct result.
Of course, it won't render nor page1 nor page2
Directive
(function () {
  'use strict';

  angular
    .module('myApp')
    .directive('myDirective', ['SessionCheckerFactory',  function (SessionCheckerFactory) {

      return {
        restrict: 'E',
        templateUrl : function(){
          return SessionCheckerService.checkSession().then( function (res) {
            console.log(res);//true
            return res ? 'app/page1.html' : 'app/page2.html';
      });
        },
        controller       : 'MyController',
        controllerAs     : 'myCtrl',
        bindToController : true

      };
    }]);
})();

SessionCheckerFactory
(function () {
  'use strict';

  angular
    .module('myApp')
    .factory('SessionCheckerFactory', function (AuthTokenFactory) {

      function checkSession() {
          return AuthTokenFactory.isAuth();
      }

      return {
        checkSession: checkSession
      }

    });
})();

AuthTokenFactory
(function() {
  'use strict';

  angular.module('myApp')
  .factory('AuthTokenFactory', function AuthTokenFactory(store, $cookies) {

      //Takes user's info from LocalStorage, if not empty returns a String with encoded string informations
      function getToken() {
       if (store.get(key)) {
         return store.get(key);
       }
        //Takes user's info from cookie
        var token = $cookies.get('token', {path: '/'});
        store.set(key, token);

        return token;
      }

      //If getToken is empty returns false, else true
      function isAuth() {
        return Promise.resolve(Boolean(getToken()));
      }

      return {
              isAuth   : isAuth,
              getToken : getToken
      }
 });
})();

I read around that this problem is usually generated by $http requests, but that's not my case. I didn't find any solution to that so far.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

A:
Then, If in my templateUrl I receive true, I pick a certain url, if false another one.

Actually you don't. If you receive true, you pick one url, if some truthy value, another url, and if something falsy then you don't pick any url:
 if (res) {
     if (res === true) {
         return resolve('app/page1.html');
     } // else
         return resolve('app/page2.html');
 }
 // else return undefined;

You probably want
templateUrl : function(){
    return SessionCheckerFactory.checkSession().then(function (res) {
        if (res) {
            return 'app/page1.html';
        } else {
            return 'app/page2.html';
        }
    })
},

A: I managed to fix the issue using a link function and $templateRequest
Directive
link: function (scope, element) {
      SessionCheckerService.renderTemplate().then(function (temp){
        $templateRequest(temp).then(function (requestedTemplate) {
          element.html(requestedTemplate);
          $compile(element.contents())(scope);
        });
      });
    }

Factory
var templateConfig = './app/config/templates.config.json';

function getTemplate(){
  return $http.get(templateConfig)
    .then(function(templates) {
      return templates.data;
    });
}

function checkSession() {
  return Promise.resolve(AuthTokenFactory.isAuth());
}

function whichTemplate(template, result) {
  var myTemplate = '';
  if(result){
     myTemplate = template.logIn;
  } else {
     myTemplate = template.logOut;
  }
    if(myTemplate){
       return Promise.resolve(myTemplate);
    }

 }

//Chaining the methods and returning the correct template
function renderTemplate() {
  return new Promise(function (resolve) {
     checkSession().then(function(isAuth){
       getTemplate().then( function(templates){
         whichTemplate(templates, isAuth).then( function (temp) {
           return resolve(temp);
         });
       });
     });
   });
 }

 return {
   renderTemplate : renderTemplate
 }

Templates Config
{
  "logOut" : "app/page1.html",
  "logIn"  : "app/page2.html"
}

I hope It'll be helpful.

Q: Can someone explain the loops? I need help understanding this code. I can not make sense of the loops. Can someone please break it down and explain? What does "i=0" represents in this Program. I also have to add error handling for missing and invalid data. I would very much appreciate it.
        Thank you!
        i = 0
        while i < len(line):

            if line[i] == '<':
                i = i + 1
                while i < len(line) and line[i] != '>':
                    tag += line[i]
                    i = i + 1

                if tag not in fields:
                    break;

                i = i + 1;

            while i < len(line) and line[i] != '<':

                value += line[i]
                i = i + 1
            break;

A: Hi trying to answer as best as possible:
Very simple spoken:
While loop 0 checks for the end of the line
While loop 1 checks for the end of the tag (or line)
While loop 2 checks for the end of the value (or line)
More detailed:
i = 0

[WHILE LOOP 0]
i=0 is the start of the line and the while loop loops until i has reached the length of the line to check if the line has still content.
while i < len(line):

The if clause checks if an html tag opens.
if line[i] == '<':
    i = i + 1

[WHILE LOOP 1]
If so it adds 1 to i and runs an other while loop until the tag closes (>) or the end of the line is reached.
while i < len(line) and line[i] != '>':
    tag += line[i]
    i = i + 1

If the tag is not int the fields list from above it breaks the While-Loop 0
if tag not in fields:
    break;

This +1 is added when the while loop was successful and the tag is over, to go to the next character in the line
i = i + 1

[WHILE LOOP 2]
Then it goes to the next char and assumes that there a value coming.
The while loop loops until it finds again an html tag start. '<' Or the line is at the end.
while i < len(line) and line[i] != '<':
    value += line[i]
    i = i + 1

Then it breaks the outer while loop 0.
break

Happy about feedback and improvements of my answer. Cheers

A: I can explain a little bit of this.
 I = 0

This is creating a new variable, called I, and setting it to zero.
while I < Len (line)

All this means is whatever code is executed in this loop will keep on executing until I is greater than how many lines there are. As you can see, in the loop, it adds 1 to i. This means that it will be a few seconds until the loop ends.

A: I have added some comments in the code which hopefully will make it easier to understand.
When adding error handling for missing or invalid data you  should look for places where you might need some data that is not available.
What happens if data = ur.urlopen(link) does not return any data? Can urlopen throw any exceptions? You can find this information in the documentation.
Once you know  about possible exceptions, you can catch them using a try/except block. For example:
try:
    raise ValueError  # Exception happens here.
except ValueError:  # You catch it here.
   print("Cought a Value Error.")  # And handle it here.

    i = 0  # This seems to be a index for each character in a line. 0 is the first character in the line.
    while i < len(line):  # Loop until the index reaches the last character in the line.
        # If you find the < character at position i.
        if line[i] == '<':

CounterPunch is the bi-weekly "muckraking" newsletter edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair. From their website: "Twice a month we bring our readers the stories that the corporate press never prints. We aren't side-line journalists here at CounterPunch. Ours is muckraking with a radical attitude and nothing makes us happier than when CounterPunch readers write in to say how useful they've found our newsletter in their battles against the war machine, big business and the rapers of nature."
While the main reason the CounterPunch website was set up was to promote the monthly CounterPunch Newsletter, it is the website that has taken off. The website became the repository of long articles that wouldn't fit in the newsletter. Increasingly, writers would submit articles for the website, and with minor or no editing articles were posted in record time. The website provided a venue for many progressive intellectuals, activists and journalists to quickly post their articles. The website also provided an opening for new writers to burst onto the scene. The furor surrounding 9/11 and the impending US-Iraq War (2003) caused the readership numbers to skyrocket. CounterPunch is today one of the leading Left/progressive magazines on the web.
"CounterPunch is a project of the Institute for the Advancement of Journalistic Clarity." [1]

Drake / Aaliyah Collab Album Scrapped
Kenny Kixx
A collaborative album with the late Aaliyah and rapper Drake will no longer be released. VIBE reports that Drake's producer Noah '40' Shebib has backed out of the project due to the negative attention they were receiving.
"The world reacting to Drake's involvement so negatively, I just wanted nothing to do with it," said 40, who also added, "[Aaliyah's] mother saying 'I don't want this out' was enough for me. I walked away very quickly."
The album had already produced the song "Enough Said," which received mixed reviews.
The hit making producer admits that Timbaland, who previously said only he and Missy Elliott should work on Aaliyah's music, gave him the green light.
He adds:
"[Timbaland] said to me, 'Don't stop, make the album.' I think that was Tim taking the position of, 'I'm not going to stop you. If you're not going to do it, that's your decision'. But ultimately, I wasn't comfortable and didn't like the stigma."

How Does America Retain Freedom of Speech and Restrain Future Reverend Joneses?
Today, I listened to an acquaintance defend an instance of protection under the First Amendment with an eye-raising example. He opined that to blame the Koran-burning Rev. Jones for the recent deaths in Afghanistan at the hands of people angry at the Koran-burning was "Like blaming Ford for a DUI death."
Wrong, I told him. FoMoCo is a mega-giga-corp, which is created, constituted, run, by policies.
While it is true that a few men hold awesome amounts of power, no one individual, not even the president or CEO (whatever they've got), can make as blatant a policy statement (or policy change) as Rev. Jones's action.
The reaction will necessarily be the most extreme among the most lawless, and we Americans just don't understand what lawless means until we begin to research the term pashtun wali, which is to say, the Way of the Pashtuns, the fierce tribesmen who live in North Afghanistan and westernmost Pakistan, who supply the bulk of the Taliban's manpower.
The US can no more impose a Western-style consumerist democracy paradigm on Afghanistan than on Iraq-- far less, in fact.
See, that's the relative question no one wants to answer, because there is no reasonable answer: If it has been impossible to pacify Iraq-- and it has, big bombings continue every week-- how can we think to pacify a place like Afghanistan, with top-ten foreboding geography among nations of the world, and an ethnic population with the attitude of vendetta, i.e., revenge, in a way that would embarrass the Mafia?
If you strike one of them down, all of their kin, all generations-- are required by tradition to do all they can to strike you down. In this world, only certain Albanians have the revenge code so ingrained as the Pashtuns.
If the official version of the events of September 11, 2001 are to be believed, it was Saudi nationals trained in Afghanistan, henchmen of Osama bin Laden, an expatriate Saudi former US asset against the Russians now working as a terrorist mastermind in Afghanistan, who commandeered those planes that hit the various places they hit.
Based upon his action in Libya, I would submit that President Obama, if given clear intelligence (all this based upon the official version being true), would have immediately identified targets and struck with our then fresh troops before Osama, Mullah Omar, and their bunch of rats could scatter.
For anyone who dares suggest that I am in any way partisan, I must declare that I do not and did not trust Bill Clinton to have carried it off, And Al Gore was advising him.
He could have taken decisive action but blew it after the Embassy bombings, and had his chance again after the Cole. Would the current Clinton have done better? I dunno, but she's advising Obama, so my guess would be not.
Rev. Jones, on the other hand, is a person. He has already specifically brought this act to an unofficial referendum of both the American people and American officialdom and been resoundingly told, "NO GO!" And now he has gone ahead and done it anyway.
Well, his First Amendment rights do, indeed, protect him. Just like they do an American citizen who is a member of the National Socialist White People's Party (neoNazis), who is free to likewise make threats to act in ways like burning a Torah, or a pile of yarmulkes, Hannukah candles and phylacteries around an effigy of a Jew. Or march down the streets of Skokie, Illinois. Whatever (Canada, by the way, is not quite so black and white about it, without being authoritarian).

The Sacred: Catholic Liturgy, Chant, Prayers
St Lawrence Justinian
Author Topic: St Lawrence Justinian (Read 742 times)
Lawrence, an illustrious example of humility, the "ornament and glory of bishops" (according to Pope Eugene IV), was the first patriarch of Venice. A very pious youth, he was favored in his nineteenth year with a vision of the Eternal Wisdom in the guise of a maiden encircled with light. She invited him to seek her with happiness, rather than satiate his baser lusts. He obeyed the invitation. Soon thereafter he became a clerk regular of St. George on the island of Alga, later bishop of Venice.
Some of St. Lawrence's special charisms were the gift of tears, power over devils, prophecy. One Christmas night the Christ-Child appeared to him. When an attempt was made during his last sickness to put him on a more comfortable bed, he refused this pleasure with the words, "My Savior died not on feathers but on the hard wood of the Cross," and requested to be laid on his usual couch. As he felt his last moments approaching, he lifted his eyes to heaven and said, "I am coming, good Jesus, to You," and slept blessedly in the Lord (January 8, 1455). At the time Venice was at the zenith of its influence and wealth. But God made that proud city understand that her greatness resulted more from the sanctity of her poor patriarch Lawrence than from the diplomacy of her doges and the power of her galleys.

News in brief: Ogier / Barcelona / Mikko / Atko
A selection of stories that are making the news at Coates Hire Rally Australia
Ogier back on track: Championship leader Sébastien Ogier has refocused after the double crash that sidelined him from last month's ADAC Rallye Deutschland. After his retirement the Frenchman said he lacked motivation and had other things on his mind apart from driving. But ahead of the start ceremony in Coffs Harbour, the Volkswagen man pledged to be back on form this weekend. "I was not so strong this summer. I let myself be disturbed by other things in [the] sport and this definitely made me weaker. I was not focused enough on what I have to do, but I made work on it and I left it behind me. I am concentrated on what is now and you can count on me to be back 100 per cent here," he said.
Barcelona opener: A street stage in Barcelona will open RallyRACC Rally de España (23 - 26 October). After a Thursday afternoon start from the rally base in Salou, competitors will drive into Barcelona for an early evening 3.20km asphalt test. Details of the new stage will be revealed during a press conference next week.
Hirvonen toys with speculation: Mikko Hirvonen's plans for 2015 remain unclear after the Finn today refused to deny speculation that he will retire at the end of this season. Addressing journalists at the pre-event press conference, the 34-year-old said: "It's funny how the press picks up on these things because last December I didn't have anything [for this season] and nobody was talking about me retiring. Now we're still in the summer and there's talk that I am! We will see. I know personally what I want, and if I can get that next year it will be awesome. If not, I'll have to wait." Asked what he wanted, Hirvonen replied: "I think you guys are keen on speculating so I'll leave it to you. It's more fun like this."
Atkinson ready to pull his finger out: Chris Atkinson believes a good result on his home round of the WRC this weekend could lead to a full time return in 2015. Australia will be the second Hyundai outing this year for the former Subaru team driver, who described himself as a 'semi-part timer.' Asked about his plans for next season Atko said: "I'd love to be a full time again, but I guess a lot depends on this weekend and doing a good job - so I've got to pull my finger out."

IVECO BUS signed a record contract for 450 buses for Abidjan, Ivory Coast, setting the 1st High Quality Mass Transit Bus System powered on Natural Gaz in Africa
IVECO BUS has just signed an order for 400 Crossway Low Entry and 50 Crealis 18-metre CNG buses for the Abidjan Transport Company SOTRA. The vehicles will be delivered from mid-2018 to the City of Abidjan. A historic order for the brand, that confirms its leadership in high quality mass buses and natural gas vehicles.
Founded in 1960, SOTRA was the first-ever public transport company in West Africa. It now confirms its pioneering role by ordering, from IVECO BUS, 50 18-metre Crealis buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). This order demonstrates the political commitment of the Ivorian President and government to go on investing in public transport and developing sustainable mobility .
As a pioneer and leader in Bus Rapid Transit solutions for over 10 years, IVECO BUS has already delivered close to 500 Crealis. On top, the brand also has a 20-year history as undisputed leader in natural gas vehicles, with some 6,000 units currently operating in Europe. It is now broadening its expertise by delivering the first-ever high-value CNG buses on the African continent. This deliberate choice by the Ivorian government in favour of natural gas confirms that it is a pertinent solution for the country and a real opportunity with readable gas availabilities. Natural gas vehicles are an effective answer to environmental concerns, and represent a real mature and efficient passengers transport solution.
The CNG Crealis offers major benefits in terms of pollution and noise reduction : fine particle emissions are reduced to nearly zero and nitrogen oxide emissions by more than one third, while noise level is reduced by half for an exceptional operating silence.
"This agreement demonstrate our strong political commitment to expand the public transport network with low environmental impact vehicles, protecting the health of our citizens. We therefore naturally turned to IVECO BUS, the European leader renowned for its expertise in this field. We are very proud to receive these vehicles for the first time on the African continent " says Amadou Kone, Ivory Coast Minister.
Designed for heavy traffic routes, the 50 Crealis 18-metre will be operated in the entire Abidjan metropolitan area, providing improved service and comfort to passengers in a modern and welcoming interior. Passengers will enjoy high luminosity thanks to full-height windows, and a customized design with metallic materials inside (seats and posts) and outside (reflective strips on the sides of the bodywork).
SOTRA joins the prestigious list of Crealis customers, such as Bologna in Italy, but also Nancy and Le Mans in France as well as Baku in Azerbaijan in CNG version.
Additionally, SOTRA is doubling its fleet with an order of 400 Crossway 12-metre Low Entry buses. Highly valued by urban and interurban transport operators – thanks to its versatility, reliability and excellent operating profitability – the Crossway Low Entry has also been recognised by the international press which has recently named it "2017 International Bus & Coach of the Year".
Sylvain Blaise, IVECO Vice President in charge of IVECO BUS comments "We are very pleased of SOTRA's choice, confirming a strong political vision of modernizing and massifying the Abidjan public transport using sustainable solution. It was natural for IVECO BUS to position itself as a key enabler of such a vision with our products, services and financing solutions. We believe this will set the benchmark for many other countries in Western Africa. This is for us a real recognition of our leadership in BRT, gas and urban mobility solutions."

'Warcraft' Film Delayed to June 2016 Theatrical Release
Jon Ledford
It's going to take a little bit longer for the Horde to reach the Dark Portal and invade Azeroth as the Duncan Jones' Warcraft film has been delayed three months.
ScreenCrush reports that Legendary and Universal Pictures have announced a rescheduling of many of its major releases for the next two years. You could factor in other films, such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, playing major roles into why movies like Warcraft and Pacific Rim 2 were delayed. The company behind these films would want them to have their own time slot so theaters aren't divided in all the badass movies they want to watch. We should note that Duncan Jones finished principal shooting on Warcraft back in May 2014, and the film was originally due for a Dec. 2015 release, but Luke Skywalker's return had it delayed to March. Legendary has moved it again to a June release to get it away from the Man of Steel vs. the Dark Knight and so that it gets its own summer season slot.
Here are all the major release changes that Universal and Legendary announced (courtesy of SlashFilm) :
Legendary's WARCRAFT, released in 3D by Universal Pictures, will move from March 11, 2016, to Friday, June 10, 2016.
Universal Pictures' MENA will be released on Friday, January 6, 2017.
Universal Pictures' FIFTY SHADES DARKER will be released on Friday, February 10, 2017.
Universal Pictures' THE MUMMY will move from June 24, 2016, to Friday, March 24, 2017.
The new chapter in Universal Pictures' FAST & FURIOUS saga will be released on Friday, April 14, 2017.
Legendary's PACIFIC RIM 2 will move from April 7, 2017, to Friday, August 4, 2017. It will be released in 3D by Universal Pictures.
Universal Pictures' FIFTY SHADES FREED will be released on Friday, February 9, 2018.
Universal Pictures' UNTITLED UNIVERSAL MONSTER FRANCHISE FILM will move from April 21, 2017, to Friday, March 30, 2018.
Warcraft will now launch on June 10, 2016, which puts it awfully close to another video game movie, Uncharted, as well as The Conjuring 2. Will the Horde and Alliance be able to ward off The Enfield Poltergeist and Nathan Drake? Don't worry, because Azeroth has its own demons and heroes.

As a software developer chances are that at some time in your professional life you'll come across a mathematical concept called Big O notation. Now, if you happen to not have a traditional university computer science / maths background, you might have a bit of a hard time grasping the common – usually strictly mathematical – explanations of Big O notation.
Big O notation is tremendously useful for reasoning about performance and memory consumption of algorithms. Depending on the exact nature of your work your life might not exactly depend on it but even when developing something as seemingly mundane as CRUD applications being able to analyze the performance of a particular sorting or search algorithm might come in handy at times.
"Big O notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity.
Fellow IT freelancer Rob Bell some time ago published an article titled A beginner's guide to Big O notation, in which he gives simple examples of common algorithm performance behaviours by using a notation every programmer uses every day: for-loops.
Now, while it's by no means complete or extensive the explanation provided in the article should give you a very good idea about what the concept of Big O notation is about and how to apply it in a very pragmatic manner.


Home / Technology / How will Google overcome the biggest hurdle in the stadium?
How will Google overcome the biggest hurdle in the stadium?
The problem with a gaming platform that relies entirely on the Internet is that it is based on the Internet. Stadia, Google's new streaming game platform, will require users to have a robust Internet connection to run, this is a big problem. "That's what has affected streaming since the beginning," said Pat Moorhead, senior analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. A game streaming service simply can not work if there is a delay. And in America, there is a lot of delay.
Sitting in the room for the announcement in San Francisco, a few ranks behind big names in the game like Yves Guillemot of Ubisoft and Lisa Su of AMD, I found myself struggling to connect to Internet in order to report on Stadia. There were hundreds of people crammed into the room, and the GDC wifi had slowed down. Even when I went on my wireless access point and plugged directly into the computer, I struggled to get a download speed of 1 Mbps. We were here at one of the most connected conferences in one of the most connected cities and I could not even send a Slack message. Forget the streaming of a game like Google has done on stage.
My colleagues in New York have improved a bit. Admittedly, they had a download speed of 70 Mbps, but Google was not able to broadcast this damn announcement. From time to time he would gasp and stammer, as streams often do. This was an announcement on the quality of Google's streaming, which was failing.
Google and GDC had an Internet connectivity problem. The United States has an even bigger one. In its latest report on the state of the internet, Akamai, released in 2017, indicated that only one in five American households could reach a download speed of 25 Mbps. The average Internet speed of the American Internet is 18.7 Mbps. "25 Mbps is higher than the average household," said Nelson Rodriguez of Akamai.
This speed of 25 Mbps is also what Google told Gizmodo, which expects Stadia to need quality 4K and 60fps games. This means that only one in five households will get the best picture of Stadia. Google may have mocked the idea of waiting for the games to be downloaded to play in yesterday's speech, but it seems to have forgotten that the advantage of a locally stored game is that it works, regardless the shift.
And then there is the problem of multiplayer. Games like Apex Legends or Fortnite, or even Rocket League are very popular but already often victims of internet less than stellar. Right now, a blip on the Internet is the difference between the life and death of a 13-year-old across the country. Google needs 25 Mbps to allow you to play a single-player game like Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The additional data required for a multiplayer game could easily saturate less robust Internet connections.
And what if these Internet connections are saturated and someone has a speed below 25 Mbps? "If you have less bandwidth, we will give you a lower resolution, "said Phil Harrison of Google Stadia at our sister site, Kotaku. Stadia has been stuck since the beginning for four out of five US households.
But Rodriguez and Moorhead were optimistic that Google could pull a rabbit out of his hat. No, the company will not suddenly provide cheap, high-quality Internet to most of the United States (it can not even do it for the few cities in which it launched Google Fiber). Instead, both highlight Google's ability to broadcast a lot of videos on YouTube. If anyone manages to solve the problem of streaming, it's the company that has made YouTube a giant of streaming video.
"The amount of bandwidth that they could save with VP9 over MP4 was simply huge," said Moorhead. VP9 is the codec developed by Google for YouTube, and Moorhead is planning to develop something of help to help Stadia run. After all, streaming a game basically consists of watching a live video so quickly that it can capture all your interactions in real time. If Google can do it for YouTube, it may not be a giant step to think that it could succeed for video games.
However, Google's reaction to bandwidth issues suggests that the company is not yet at this stage. Instead, it provides a service roughly equivalent to Nvidia's GeForce Now, which has been in beta since 2015, and caused me problems in my hotel even as I was trying to write this article. The streaming game in its current state is only that. Internet is just not ready.
Internet connectivity as a whole is extremely inconsistent and unreliable. To date, Google's response to this problem has been terribly disappointing. Moorhead and Rodriguez cite something worrisome for Stadia. You can not advertise a streaming service and do not mention bandwidth requirements, except for e-mail or podcast pursuits.
This is a problem that will not be easily solved with an algorithm or AI (although they can both help solve the problem), and this gives Stadia a terribly unattractive appearance according to rumors that Microsoft and Sony would offer new generation consoles. Why should I drop money to play games on Stadia, while I can get a console that will stream my games in cases where I have a very good internet, but also lets download the most greedy bandwidth when I do not do it?

Mike D'Antoni not 'insulted' by Rockets' offer, says agent
Ralph Orense
Despite failing to reach a contract extension with the Houston Rockets, head coach Mike D'Antoni is not in any way 'insulted' by what the team offered him.
The Rockets reportedly offered D'Antoni a one-year extension with the base salary reportedly only at $2.5 million, which is only half of the $5 million that he's asking. The deal is incentive-based, which means the 68-year-old coach must fulfill certain conditions to get the bonuses in his contract.
While the offer seems to be disrespectful to a coach with D'Antoni's stature, his agent Warren LeGarie said that the veteran tactician did not find the offer insulting.
"We're not here to criticize the offer," LeGarie told Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle. "We're here to choose whether or not to accept it. We chose based on the current market for coaches of his stature as well as what he has done for the Rockets, the offer did not make sense for him, though I'm sure it makes sense for the Rockets. We don't consider the offer insulting. It's still real money. But it is our right not to take it."
The Rockets have failed to beat the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs in four of the last five years, and it's the main reason behind the management's frustrations.
It is unclear if they will be able to strike a deal with D'Antoni, who is entering the final year of his contract. Nonetheless, it is pretty clear that team owner Tilman Fertitta is tired of losing, and he wants to make changes that will hopefully lead to a championship.
