How Robin Campillo's BPM gets queer AIDS activism right.
Adèle Haenel as Sophie in BPM (Beats Per Minute).
For a year and a half, to plan or just hear about actions (never "protests") like that one, I went to a meeting very similar to the ACT UP meetings that frame BPM (Beats Per Minute), the fantastic, Cannes Grand Prix–winning French film directed and cowritten by former ACT UP member Robin Campillo. Though the film's meetings were in Paris and mine were in Boston, and though I actually attended Queer Nation, an ACT UP offshoot that shared its parent's structure but focused on homophobia, watching BPM was like being back in those rooms. Critics have been rapturous about the film's portrayal of community resilience and the survival of romance in the face of the plague, but I'd like to add one additional note of praise: It's the best fictional representation of the very real activism of those years that you'll ever see.
The nitty-gritty of organizing is perfectly rendered. Before the film's first ACT UP Paris meeting, we overhear an introductory explanation of the ground rules: no clapping or cheering, which subtract precious time from the meeting; only snapping to express approval (very frustrating for those of us who couldn't snap); hissing to express disapproval. The facilitators of the meeting were always one man and one woman (and unlike in the film, usually alternated between several members). Facilitators gave the timeout signal when a speaker from the floor needed to wrap up, though invariably one person, usually the same one every week, would talk well after repeated signals and exasperated stares.
The film manages to capture a paradox that I often have trouble explaining to friends: The early 1990s were terrible for queer people—I regularly saw the obituaries of the people with AIDS I took care of in my day job just months or weeks after I'd first gotten to know them. And even so, a lot of us activists still had a great time, disagreeing with, flirting with, dancing with, and "dating" (sometimes only for one night) other politically minded queers. The music we danced to at clubs, either after an action or as a break from distributing—as in the film—safer safe packets at schools were from Deee-Lite, CeCe Peniston, and Crystal Waters. These were not the tracks we hear in Campillo's discos, but we definitely felt the same abandon as the characters on the dance floor. BPM even captures the sound of motorcycle jacket–clad activists walking together, the rustle of leather and little clinks of zippers and buttons.
The film also manages to briefly touch on why some of us left: the sexism a sector of men in the group exhibited toward women. The men in my group didn't have to call us names to show how little they valued our work. A few of us who had been very active left together. Two of them went on to cofound the Irish American Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Group of Boston (GLIB), an organization that was in newspapers and on TV for years due to a Supreme Court case over being allowed to march in the Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade.
In the end, the element of ACT UP–style activism that BPM managed to capture most beautifully is how it could make you believe in the almost miraculous power of collective action. Of course the denizens of ACT UP Paris thought they might be able—as they film imagines but the group never actually accomplished—to turn the Seine river red as blood. Once you see a large mass of people mobilize in an action you helped plan, no matter what setbacks and failures have happened along the way, you begin to think that anything is possible.


What Do People Use a Conex Box For?
Let's face it: most of us who rent a conex box aren't going to go build a restaurant space or new home with it. While these uses are ingenious, creative and quite popular in today's world, the majority of rental conex boxes will be used for more everyday purposes.
If you find yourself in need of some extra storage but have never rented a conex box before, here are a few of the more common ways we see our customers using our rental storage containers.
One of the most common reasons people rent a conex box is for temporary storage while they're in the process of moving. Conex boxes are perfect for storing just about anything—from pots and pans to picture frames and more. Rental storage units can be placed outside your old home or on your new property, depending on what you need and when you need it most.
Renovations can be messy, resulting in some serious debris. While many people also may rent a roll off dumpster to get rid of large quantities of waste from the construction, many also find a conex box to be a very convenient space to store furniture and other items they do not want to be damaged during the process. Conex boxes will provide much-needed protection for heirloom items or other valuables inside your home that you don't' want to risk damaging during the shuffle.
If your retail store just isn't large enough to handle your business, but you're not quite ready to move into a new space, a conex box can be a fantastic solution for temporary storage. Simply have the box placed somewhere on your property and enjoy short-term or long-term storage that's easily accessible from your retail space.
Tools, machinery and bulky equipment.
For anyone that owns an auto garage or simply has a garage overflowing with tools and lawn equipment, a conex box is a simple and easy way to declutter the space. Use it as a temporary shed or a long-term place to keep those bulky items.
There's never really a great place to put seasonal decor when it's not in use, but a mobile conex box can change that in an instant. Store your Christmas tree, ornaments, Halloween decorations and icicle lights in an outdoor location that's out of the way and easy to access when needed. Conex boxes can be placed just about anywhere (depending on your city's code and regulations), so your seasonal items will never be too far out of reach.
If you're in need of a short-term or long-term storage solution, contact Automated Waste Services today. We provide pickup and drop-off services to residents in the Springfield area and are more than happy to answer any questions you have about conex box rentals. Just call 417-725-4872 for more details.

Q: Type 'std::map, int>' is incomplete Anywhere I try to use std::map with any variation of type parameters, I'm given the red syntax highlighting that should indicate a compiler error, but I'm still able to compile and run with no issues. I've restarted visual studio, cleaned my project, and rebuilt the project, yet the issue still persists. I've also tried deleting the .sdf as I thought it might be saving something weird in it's history, at least from what I've been researching it could have been the cause. I'm also on warning level 4; I've tried to lower it, but no juice.
Syntax Highlighting Error
Edit 1:
It actually only seems to be an issue when part of a member function, if it is within a free function, I do not get any syntax highlighting.
Edit 2:

*

*main.cpp
#include "MCVE.h"

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

*MCVE.cpp
#include "MCVE.h"
#include <map>

MCVE::MCVE()
{
}

void MCVE::Test() const
{
    // syntax highlighting error appears here
    std::map<std::string, int> myMap;
}

MCVE::~MCVE()
{
}

*MCVE.h
#pragma once

class MCVE
{
public:
    MCVE();
    void Test() const;
    ~MCVE();
};

Edit 3: I've accepted Pete Becker's answer, but the issue seems to persist only on my local machine. I tagged this with Visual Studio because I assumed there was something wrong with it because it only has the highlighting issue on my home computer, and not my work computer.
Final Edit: The issue turned out to be that one of the headers that was included in the base type of the class I was having an issue with was using header guards instead of pragma once as was in the file I was working in. Adding the proper #include statements and explicitly stating the namespace on the functions did not resolve it. Only changing the header guards over to pragma once fixed the issue.

A: The new code is still missing #include <string>. The fact that the compiler doesn't complain about the name std::string only means that it's been declared somewhere; headers often use forward declarations for names that are defined elsewhere to avoid header bloat. That works fine, and is standard conforming, but you have to follow the discipline of having a #include directive for the appropriate header for every standard library type that you use.

Q: C# compiler including local path in EXE When I compile a Release project (DEBUG is not enabled) in VS 2010, I'm seeing things like this in the generated EXE:
C:\Code\Test\Test\obj\x86\Release\Test.pdb
Why is this, and how can I disable it?  I've tried Googling, but can't find much.

A: Allthough i havent actually tried looking in the exe file, you can disable generation of pdb files (and presumably their inclusion in the exe) from the project properties under Build > Advanced > Debug info. if you set this value to 'None', nothing should be generated
Even for release the default is to generate pdb files only.

A: These files are for debugging. They contain (among other thins) information on matching breakpoint in code to place in the compiled code. They should not be shipped with the binaries.


The increasing production of biodiesel is typically followed by the increasing number of glycerol as co-product. The abundance of glycerol will cause an environmental problem since it can be used as the carbon source for bacterial growth including pathogenic bacteria. In this study, four moderate halophilic bacteria indigenous from Bledug Kuwu Mud Crater, Central Java, Indonesia were screened based on their capability to bioconvert glycerol to biosurfactant. This study found Halomonas elongata BK-AG18 as the potential bacterium that able to perform such bioconversion. The optimum condition for the bioconversion of glycerol into biosurfactant was attained when the bacterial inoculum was grown in the medium containing 2% (v/v) glycerol, 0.3% (w/v) urea, and 5% (w/v) NaCl at 35 °C and pH 6. The resulted biosurfactant has emulsification index (EI24) about 53.6% and CMC about 275 mg/L. Preliminary structural analysis using FTIR and 1H-NMR indicated that biosurfactant produced by H. elongata BK-AG18 was likely a glycolipid type. The biosurfactants have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 433 mg/L. Our study thus showed that H. elongata BK-AG18 was the potential halophilic bacteria that can bioconvert glycerol into glycolipid type of biosurfactant with antibacterial activity.

PROCLAMATION OF INDIPENDANCE OF BANGLADESH 1971
On the night of 25 March 1971, immediately before the military crackdown and moments before Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested by the Pakistan Army, he made a Declaration of Independence. Following the announcement top AL leaders crossed over to India for safety. By 30 March 1971, most of them were able to assemble in Kolkata and drafted the Proclamation of our Independence. Later on April 17, the official announcement declaring independence of Bangladesh by the Bangladesh government-in-exile was made.
In this proclamation, the background and reason for the struggle of independence was mentioned. The then Pakistani ruler declined to transfer power to the elected representatives of the people of this country, rather they started indiscriminate killing. They did not summon the session of the constituent assembly consisting of the members elected in 1970 general election where Awami League bagged 167 seats out of 169. President Yahya Khan without summoning the session scheduled on March 3, had postponed it for an indefinite period. And thereafter, initiated the operation Searchlight.
Proclamation of Independence formally announced by the Bangladesh government in exile on 17 April, 1971. The Proclamation so announced in effect provided the fundamental instrument of law as well as an interim constitution of the mujibnagar government during the war of liberation, including that of the government in liberated Bangladesh until the adoption of the Constitution, made effective from 16 December 1972.
The basic law of Bangladesh is the constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, 1972 as amended from time to time. Till 1996, thirteen amendments have been made. All laws of the country are subordinate laws made by the elected Sangsad conforming to the tenets of the Constitution. The laws enacted by the legislature and now in operation regulate almost all spheres of life. Ordinarily executive authorities and statutory corporations cannot make any law, but can make by-laws to the extent authorized by the legislature. Such subordinate legislation is known as rules or regulations. Unless found ultra vires of the parent law, such rules or regulations are also enforceable by the court like the laws made by the legislature. Important laws of the country may be classified under some broad heads such as land and property laws, personal laws, commercial laws, labour and industrial laws, election laws, law of crimes, service laws, fiscal laws, press laws and laws relating to the remedies.
Following the military crackdown by the Pakistan army in Dhaka and elsewhere on 25 March 1971, top awami league leaders including some elected members of both National Assembly (MNA) and Provincial Assembly (MPA) crossed over to India for safety. By 30 March 1971, most of them were able to assemble in Kolkata. On 10 April 1971, the MNAs and MPAs who were able to meet together in Kolkata formed themselves into a constituent assembly in exile and drafted the Proclamation of Independence. The formal meeting of the constituent assembly was held on 17 April 1971 at Baidyanathtala (re-named Mujibnagar after the proclamation), a border area in present Meherpur district, where Yusuf Ali, an MNA formally read out the Proclamation of Independence at a simple ceremony. With this declaration the newly formed Constituent Assembly was proclaimed supreme and sovereign authority of Bangladesh. The Proclamation declared that the independence of Bangladesh be deemed to have come into effect from 26 March 1971. It also legalised the Mujibnagar government and gave direction to all involved in the War of Liberation for establishing the chain of command.
Whereas in the facts and circumstance of such treacherous conduct Banga Bandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the undisputed leader of 75 million people of Bangladesh, in due fulfillment of the legitimate right of self determination of the people of Bangladesh, duly made a declaration of in depended at Dacca on March 26 1971 and urged the people of Bangladesh to defend the honour and integrity of Bangladesh.
We the elected representatives of the people of Bangladesh, as honour bound by the mandate given tours byte people of Bangladesh whose will is supreme duly constituted ourselves into a Constituent Assembly an having held mutual consultations and in order to ensure for the people of Bangladesh equality human dignity and social justice. Declare and constitute Bangladesh tube a sovereign peoples Republic and thereby confirm the declaration of independence already made by Bangla Bandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and do here by affirm and resolve that till such time as a Constitution is framed, Banga Bandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman shall be President of the Republic and that Syed Nazrul Islam shall be Vice President of the Republic and that the president shall be the Supreme Commander of all the Armed Forces of the Republic shall Exercise all Executive and Legislative powers such Republic including the power to appoint a Prime Minister and such other Ministers as he considers necessary, shall have the power to levy taxes and expend monies, shall have the power to summon and adjourn the Constituent assembly, and do all other things that may be necessary to give to the people of Bangladesh orderly and just Government.
Law of Continuance Enforcement Order, 1971:
In the exercise of power conferred by the Proclamation, the Acting President Syed Nazrul Islam issued the Laws Continuance Enforcement Order to ensure continuity of all the existing laws. The Vice President and Acting President of Bangladesh, in exercise of the powers conferred on me by the Proclamation of Independence dated tenth day of April, 1971 do hereby order that all laws that were in force in Bangladesh on 25th March, 1971, shall subject to the Proclamation aforesaid continue to be so in force with such consequential changes as may be necessary on account of the creation of the sovereign independent State of Bangladesh formed by the will of the people of Bangladesh and that all government officials – civil, military, judicial and diplomatic who take the oath of allegiance to Bangladesh shall continue in their offices on terms and conditions of service so long enjoyed by them and that all District Judges and District Magistrates, in the territory of Bangladesh and all diplomatic representatives elsewhere shall arrange to administer the oath of allegiance to all government officials within their jurisdiction. This order shall be deemed to have come into effect from 26th day of March, 1971.
Provisional Constitution of Bangladesh Order, 1972:
This Presidential Order called the Provisional Constitution of Bangladesh order, 1972, was issued on 11 January, 1972. By virtue of this Order, the entire character of the Government was changed. The presidential form was substituted by form aiming t a Westminster type parliamentary system. However, the main provisions of the provisional constitution of Bangladesh order, 1972, are as follows:
a) This Constitution shall establish a parliamentary democracy in Bangladesh in accordance with the will of the people.
b) Three shall be a Cabinet of Ministers, with the Prime Minister as the head.
c) The president shall, in exercise of all his functions, act in accordance with the advice of the prime minister.
d) There shall be a constituent Assembly comprising of the elected representatives of the people of Bangladesh returned to the National Assembly and Provincial Assembly seats in the elections held in December, 1970, January 1971, and March 1971, who are not otherwise disqualified by or under any law.
e) There shall be a High Court of Bangladesh, consisting of a Chief Justice and so many other Judges as may be appointed from time to time.
"Constituent Assembly" referred to in this Order means the body comprising of the elected representatives of the people of Bangladesh returned to the N.E. and P.E. seats in the elections held in December, 1970, January.1971 not otherwise disqualified by or under any law. There shall be a Cabinet of Ministers, with the Prime Minister at the head. The President shall in exercise of his entire functions act in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister. The President shall; commission as prime Minister a member of the Constituent Assembly, who commands the confidence of the majority of the members of the Constituent Assembly. All other Ministers, Ministers of State and Deputy Ministers shall be appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. In the event of a vacancy occurring in the Office of the President at any time prior to the framing of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly, the Cabinet shell appoint as President a citizen of Bangladesh who will hold the office of President until another president enters upon the office in accordance with the constitution as framed by the Constituent Assembly.

Memorable meals at one particular-of-a-sort restaurants are the hallmark of any trip. I can't even count on both hands how a lot of times I had gone to this location to consume right after work with my co-workers. All in all on Fremont Street this is the spot to consume and enjoy yourself before walking up and down Fremont with a evening of men and women watching and cheap gambling. Hands down the greatest sushi in the neighborhood and it beats out most sushi areas I've eaten at in basic. I usually consume the local meals when I travel but it is essential to have a person from the location take you to what they contemplate secure and greatest locations. Five Guys:The chain that is circling the nation now has several links in Nashville.
I use the BBC Goodfood website really typically as inspiration for new recipes. Is a job search engine created to hyperlink folks in search of meaningful meals work with the firms that require their power, enthusiasm, and intellect. The revelation: you can consume these foods as portion of your everyday diet and not count their calories. Once more, words like scrumptious or tasty are boring, and boring is not what you are attempting to convey in a meals post. If the system gave sufficient to eat it may serve it really is purpose…Ya know, to feed these who are struggling to make ends meet. I am of the belief that a excellent writer can make just about any subject fascinating.

Friends remember local band's guitarist; The Bucky Walters member dies in Bakersfield car crash
By Donna Tam and The Times-Standard |
PUBLISHED: November 30, 2011 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: July 30, 2018 at 7:46 a.m.
Friends are mourning the loss of local musician Bryan Osper, a 26-year-old guitarist for the Arcata-based band, The Bucky Walters.
According to a California Highway Patrol report, Osper died after a Freightliner collided with his car Monday evening on a road east of Interstate 5 in Bakersfield.
Osper's SUV was parked along the shoulder of Corpus Road before he attempted to make a U-turn. He turned into the path of the oncoming tractor trailer, which was moving at about 55 mph. The incident occurred at 6:15 p.m.
Friends said Osper, the front man for the popular local bluegrass band, was a kind person who willingly shared his love of music.
Kat Fountain, former manager of The Bucky Walters, said Osper had a large impact on Arcata. He taught music lessons to people of all ages — from preschool to adults. He played a variety of instruments, including the steel drum, ukulele, bass and mandolin, Fountain said.
"There's nobody like Bryan," she said. "He was one of a kind; he was one of my best friends. … He's always smiling; he was never mean to anybody. He was such a nice person, and he was always playing music — always playing guitar no matter where you were."
A San Diego native, Osper attended Humboldt State University as a freshman in 2003. At HSU he met his future bandmates, including The Bucky Walters banjo player Joey Goforth.
Goforth said Osper enjoyed playing a variety of music, including Afro-Cuban and West African. Osper played steel drum for the HSU Calypso band.
Goforth said he was an enthusiastic bandmate and friend.
"Bryan was very eager for me to give him any sort of feedback," he said. "He was ready to practice, he was ready to rehearse, he was ready to enjoy whatever came."
Fountain said she hopes people will connect with Osper's spirit when they listen to his music.
"People will look back, hopefully, with happiness over his life instead of deep, deep sorrow," she said. "He brought a lot of beauty in this world. I'm really going to miss him."

Bathroom decoration is more complicated because waterproof works must be done, otherwise it will leave endless troubles and affect the normal life of themselves and their neighbors. There are many bathroom waterproof materials that are currently popular, and the effect is not bad. As long as you pay close attention to the operation of the construction party, avoid cutting corners, and guarding against the attention to detail will not be a big problem.
1. Level the bathroom floor first. If you want to change the floor tiles of the bathroom, you must first level the floor with cement mortar after the original floor tiles are cut, and then do the waterproof treatment. This will prevent leakage of the waterproof coating due to uneven thickness.
2. Joints should be brushed into place. The seams between the bathroom wall and the seams between the upper and lower water pipes and the ground are the most prone to problems. During construction, you must urge the workers to handle these corners. All waterproof paint must be applied in place.
3. Wall treatment is also very important. In the general bathroom waterproofing treatment, a waterproof coating of about 30 cm in height is also required on the wall to prevent water accumulation from passing through the wall. However, if the wall of the bathroom is a non-load-bearing light wall, the entire wall should be covered with a waterproof coating. If your home uses a two-seater shower screen, the two walls that are associated with it must be fully painted. If your home uses a bathtub, the height of the waterproof coating should be higher than the upper edge of the bathtub.
4. Waterproof experiment must be done. After the construction of the bathroom was completed, all the water in the bathroom was blocked, and a 25 cm high "can" was built at the entrance. Then, 20 cm of water was poured into the bathroom. After 24 hours, you can check whether there is any leakage around the wall and the ground. This 24-hour waterproof test is the key to ensuring the quality of the bathroom waterproofing project. You must do it.
5. Keep the water open. All sewers in the bathroom, including floor drains, sanitary ware plumbing, etc., should be kept open. In this way, we can fundamentally avoid the occurrence of the "flooded seven army" tragedy.

Breakthrough Made in Treating Ebola Virus
January 14, 2019 January 14, 2019 Keefa 0 Comments
In northeastern Congo, more than 600 people have fallen ill with the Ebola virus, and at least 368 people have died from the disease. It's been difficult to contain the virus because of conflict in the region, despite medical advances, including a vaccine.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is where Ebola was first discovered in 1976 when the country was called Zaire. The disease was named after the Ebola River where the virus was spreading. Between then and 2013, there was no treatment or a vaccine. The outbreak ran its course in quarantined communities.
Scientists started studying the virus, however, trying to come up with better ways to handle its various deadly strains. They succeeded in producing a vaccine to help end the Ebola epidemic that swept through three West African countries between 2013 and 2016. More than 11,000 people died in that outbreak.
At that time, treatment for the Zaire strain of Ebola was developed. It was costly to produce and didn't work on two other lethal strains, the Sudan and Bundibugyo viruses.
But now scientists have found one. Their research produced a drug cocktail called MBP134 that helped monkeys infected with three deadly strains of Ebola recover from the disease.
What's more, the treatment requires a single intravenous injection.
Thomas Geisbert, Ph.D., led the research at the University of Texas Medical Branch, part of a public-private partnership that also included Mapp Biopharmaceuticals, the U.S. Army Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
In an interview with VOA, Geisbert stressed the need for a treatment that would be effective against all strains of Ebola.
"When an outbreak occurs, we really don't know which one of those three strains, species, we call them, is the cause of that particular episode," Geisbert said.
He added that the treatments available have been effective only against the Zaire species, which leaves people infected with the other species unprotected.
"Our goal was to develop a treatment that would work regardless of the particular strain of Ebola that was causing it," Geisbert said.
"If I have to make a drug that only works against Zaire, and another drug that only works against Sudan and another drug that only works against the Bundibugyo species, that is extremely expensive," he added.
Geisbert said the treatment will save valuable time in determining which strain of Ebola is circulating in a particular outbreak. It will save lives because people can be treated immediately, and it will also save money.
There's no profit for the pharmaceutical companies that produce the drugs.
"It's not like you're making up vaccine for flu where companies [are] going to make a profit. There's really a small global market for Ebola so it really has to be sponsored by the government," he said.
In addition to the U.S. Army and the Canadian government, the U.S. National Institutes of Health has supported much of this research.
Geisbert said the work ahead involves tweaking the dose to its lowest possible amount, making it easier to distribute — again to reduce costs — and conducting clinical trials in humans to ensure the treatment is safe and effective.
Geisbert is confident it will work in humans, although he cautioned that in science, nothing is certain.

In the past, we were able to rig up a method of passing Windows NT authentication with a: Username / Password type form.
One of Microsoft's security updates stopped this process from working.
If you are currently doing this type of thing, can you please let me know what method you are using in order to pass NT username and passwords?
If there is a 3rd party program that can do this, I would be willing to try that as well.


After retirement, seniors may be happy to stop working but may still want to contribute to their community. This is a great opportunity for older adults to start serving as volunteers, especially if they are still mobile. Volunteering lets your patients engage in a passion or find meaning in helping others.
Animal shelter: If your patient has a passion for pets, they can volunteer at an animal shelter. There are plenty of ways to get involved in these organizations from caring for animals to helping plan events.
Tutoring: If the senior is a former teacher or always enjoyed school, they can volunteer their services as a tutor. This allows them to help kids in the subject the senior excels in, whether it's math, English or science.
Soup kitchens: If your patient has a love of helping those in need, volunteering at a soup kitchen or food pantry could be up their alley. Older adults can serve meals, help with office tasks, sort through donated foods and participate in a variety of other tasks.
Museums: Seniors who love art and/or history can opt to volunteer at a gallery or museum as a docent. This allows them to engage with others and share their passion and knowledge of what's on display. Other options include volunteering to work on programs or activities.

The ex factor making Royston blogger Kalvin an online star
Kalvin Horabin - Credit: Archant
He's Royston's answer to Carrie Bradshaw, with a few tales to tell about rocky relationships – and, like many great writers, it all began with a broken heart.
Last summer, while feeling sorry for himself after being dumped by a man he'd moved to China for, Kalvin Horabin was looking for a way to get over the all-consuming pain of betrayal.
And as it was 2015, he went online, and started a blog to tell the world how much he was hurting.
The 26-year-old said: "I'd found out he'd had multiple affairs. I was looking for a way to get over it. I thought there must be more people who are suffering.
"There are so many relationship blogs, but they aren't completely honest and don't tell the truth.
"I started off telling people my story, about how I went from being completely distraught to picking myself back up again.
"Gradually more people started to relate to it, and now 300 people are reading my posts a day.
"I have quite a bit of interest from people all over the world – India, Australia and New York.
"It's all come from half an hour sat feeling sorry for myself."
As wounds started to heal, Kalvin stopped blogging about his ex, and started writing lighter posts about the trials and tribulations of dating.
He said: "I have stopped writing about my ex, he is part of the past. A lot of people can relate to my blog. If you are single you can't help feeling a bit bitter.
"It's the Bridget Jones thing with the smug married couples around you.
"I haven't been on dates in Royston, it's a bit small, although I have been on a few dates in Cambridge."
Many such encounters have been hugely entertaining and not all, he confesses, for the right reasons.
Kalvin who works in the Armadillo Ink tattoo parlour in Kneesworth Street, said: "I went to a Chinese restaurant with someone on one date.
"He put chopsticks up his nose and pretended to be a walrus. He then got one of the chopsticks stuck – it was awful!
"Another asked if we could be together after just one date.
"If you watch Sex and The City you think it's all made up, that it can't actually happen in real life, but it's so often based on true stories."
Kalvin's dream has always been to be a writer, and the ambition dates back to when he was as young as three.
He said: "I used to fill notebooks up with my thoughts.
"The all-time ambition would be to have a column."

This is the second of a series of posts explaining the Leeds Labour Council's Budget for 2014-15.
As we reported in our last post, the income available to Leeds City Council has been reduced dramatically over the last three years – since the LibDem/Tory Coalition came into power.
Since 2011/12 Local Government funding has been reduced nationally by 43%.
Here in Leeds, the Council has felt these pressures. In its attempts to meet the tightened situation the Council has been forced to make huge savings.
In this second of our series of posts on the 2014/15 Leeds Budget, we consider what has been forced on the City over the last three years.
The scale of those cuts is such that a rise in Council tax is now necessary.
£200m has already been saved.
This is the first of a series of posts explaining the Leeds Labour Council's Budget for 2014-15.
Leeds City Council has set its 2014/15 Budget. It is a budget set in the context of the most ferocious squeeze on Local Government finance in memory.
We are bringing you a series of posts over the next days, to inform you of the situation – and of the decisions the Council has made.
We begin today with the context in which Leeds Labour Council has had to set its budget for 2014/15.
That context points to the political and inegalitarian nature of the Coalition's cuts.
Between 2011/12 – 2015/16 local government funding will have been reduced nationally by a staggering 43%.
Harriet Harman MP, Labour's Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, yesterday demanded that Culture Secretary Maria Miller forge a 'survival strategy' for arts and culture outside London as new figures show a funding crisis in Yorkshire and the Humber compared to London.
Arts Funding comes in three ways – philanthropy, the Arts Council and Local Councils.
Yorkshire and the Humber has been hit in all three.
Figures obtained through a written parliamentary question show that the lion's share of philanthropy is concentrated in London. Only 2.4% of philanthropic giving went to Yorkshire and the Humber in 2010/2011; 71% went to London. That works out as philanthropic giving of £3.06 per head in Yorkshire and the Humber, compared to £59.52 in London.
The questions surrounding Lynton Crosby, lobbying and the Coalition's policies continue to grow – though they are questions David Cameron does not want you to ask.
Linger a moment over that 'perceived failings'. That doesn't mean real failings – it means trying to exploit what people have been led to believe are failings. Led to believe by a media whose record on NHS reporting is abysmal. A media whose recent reporting has involved downright distortion of statistics and reports, like that of Keogh; a media whose reportting emphasizes all the problems, without making clear the impact of Coalition cuts and re-organisation.

The Audio Engineering Society Celebrates 70 Years of the Art and Science of Audio: President's Message from David Scheirman
By PR Staff
— The AES continues to lead the cutting edge of audio engineering technology and techniques, building on its core involvement in the advancement of the art and science of audio —
New York, NY — The Audio Engineering Society, founded in 1948, has grown to become the preeminent international organization unifying audio engineers, creative artists, scientists and students worldwide by promoting advances in audio and disseminating new knowledge and research. Now, in celebrating its 70th year, the AES continues to forge ahead with new and exciting opportunities and offerings for its members and the audio engineering community worldwide, serving as the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio science and technology and hosting a forum through which ideas and personas continue to reach higher levels of audio excellence and understanding.
AES President David Scheirman shares the following message with the AES Membership and the entire professional audio engineering community:
2018 marks the 70th year of existence of The Audio Engineering Society. When we consider what that really means, it's a remarkable achievement. As industry, research, academia and technical applications are all drawn more closely together, the Society's mission remains a constant: to promote the science and practice of audio by bringing leading people and ideas together.
The first AES meeting took place on February 17, 1948, at New York City's RCA Victor recording studios. An original volunteer executive committee of five individuals (J.D. Colvin, C.J. LeBel, C.G. McProud, N.C. Pickering and C.A. Rackey) worked to assist the young professional society in establishing its first 'constitution,' now known as the Society's Bylaws. Remarkably durable, the Audio Engineering Society's Bylaws have guided our corporate governance efforts now for seven decades.
70 years ago, the audio industry – and indeed our entire culture – was very different. In 1948, technology advances in the news included the LP (Long Playing) record and the transistor radio, and the new-fangled television set was just starting to become more common in private homes. Things we now take for granted were surprising the world and turning heads: the Porsche automobile company was founded that year, the first Random Access Storage Device became available, and a new swimming suit style known as the bikini was making a splash. The Soviets were blockading West Berlin, and Israel was being established as an independent state.
Within our industry, it was noted that 'engineers engaged in the field of audio are generally agreed that there is a definite advantage to a professional society as a means of disseminating information and promoting intelligent study of the problems pertaining to their interests, but there has been considerable doubt that their field has been covered adequately.' So stated the March 1948 issue of Audio Engineering. This was the reason for establishing the then-named Organizing Committee for the Formation of the Audio Engineering Society. These early pioneers focused on their common interests when coming together as a group. Public address systems, studio design and use, tape and wire recording, and high-quality home reproduction were key areas of interest.
Today, 70 years hence from that first meeting, audio professionals still gather to discuss, learn about, and advance the art and practice of these disciplines, along with many more. Emerging technologies and the results of audio research continue to be highlighted in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, historical developments in the field from those seven decades can be sourced within the Society's online E-Library, and the new AES Live: Videos series brings a new dimension to learning about audio.
With good fortune (knock on neodymium!), many current members and a host of today's professional audio and software companies who proudly support the AES will be on hand to help celebrate the Audio Engineering Society's 100 Anniversary, a momentous event to look forward to in 2048.
Scheirman will address attendees of the AES New York 2018 International Convention during the Opening Ceremonies, taking place Wednesday, October 17, 12:15 pm – 2:15 pm at the Javits Convention Center.
The Opening Ceremonies and other Special Events presentations at the AES New York 2018 Convention, including the keynote address by Thomas Dolby and Heyser Lecture by John Meyer, are open to all AES New York 2018 attendees, and access is free with your Exhibits-Plus advance registration (use code AES18NOW at checkout). All Access registration is the ticket to everything the Convention has to offer. Advance registration is open through Monday, October 15 at aesshow.com. AES Members, including student members, enjoy substantial discounts on All Access registration. Registration at any level for AES New York 2018 includes access to the NAB Show New York exhibition.

Q: How Youtube Video Rating is computed? I'm using API Youtube V3 and i would like to search my most popular videos.
I'm ordering the result by "rating" but the results are not good.
The returned videos have many likes and dislikes but don't seem to be rated.
I would have thought that the rating was a kind of ratio between likes and dislikes but it doesn't look like this.
Does anyone know how the rating is computed or why the API returns no rating for my videos ?
Here is my call with Java API :
Youtube youtube = new Youtube.Builder(...).build();
YouTube.Search.List listquery = youtube.search().list("id");

listquery.setKey("myDeveloperKey");
listquery.setChannelId("myChannelId");
listquery.setOrder("rating");
listquery.setMaxResults(50);
listquery.setType("video");

SearchListResponse searchResponse = listquery.execute();

A: i'm working in youtube api too. if u r using JSON, you can retrieve like, dislike and viewed no. by calling following url... put id of your video and your google(youtube key).
   https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=p1wMPFvRk34&key=YourKey&part=snippet,contentDetails,statistics,status

Samsung launches its 8K TV screens at IFA 2018
If 4K just isn't enough for you, you'll soon be able to purchase an 8K television screen. Samsung has announced its new 8K television…


These last 3 weeks, I've continued to train for my 10k.
I've been slowly adding mileage and intensity to my training weeks, trying to peak for a July 4th 10k. I've run 100 miles so far this training cycle with over 12,000 cumulative elevation gain. I've been running mostly on trails with some elevation, so it'll be interesting how that translates to a street race. I'm going to try to incorporate a little move pavement work in the next couple of weeks before the 10k.
At the same time, I've got my eyes set on my next goal race, which is the Iron Horse Half Marathon in Midway, KY, in October. I had a great run there in 2016 and I'm hoping to get a PR there this year since I'm more familiar with the course now.
I've settled on a training plan. I'm going to start the Hansons beginner Half Marathon plan. This is a pretty aggressive plan. If you're not familiar with Hansons, they have some pretty good books that explain their philosophy. Basically, it's run. A lot. You get tired. Your legs get tired. And still you run. A lot.
The beginner plan has 6 runs a week, with 3 SOS (Something of Substance) workouts a week. Tempo runs, Long Runs, and Speed or Strength Interval runs. The plan starts with Speed workouts and switches to Strength workouts for the last half of the plan.
Each run is to be run at a prescribed pace. Tempo runs are run at goal race pace. My goal pace is 11:49/mi. Long runs are 12:50/mi - 14:20/mi. Easy miles are 13:20/mi - 14:20/mi. Speed intervals will be run at my 5k pace (10:53/mi) and Strength intervals at my 10k pace (12:00/mi).
I began investigating Hansons last year in preparation for my 2nd marathon. But I decided running 6 days a week and running a lot of miles was a recipe for injury for me at that time. I spent several months and 2 training cycles (one for a half, the other for a full) slowly building up my tolerance for running more than 3 days a week. In the peak training weeks for my marathon, I was running just over 40 miles a week. A lot for me.
My endurance horse after a hot training ride.
I plan to run at least 5 days a week. I will try to run 6 if I can, but I also have my endurance horse to condition, so Sundays will be for her long ride. If I don't ride Sasha or I happen to have time for the easy run, I'll throw that run back into the mix. I've purposefully shifted and swapped the days of the training plan so Sundays are always easy miles. I will always have an easy day or rest day between my SOS (Something of Substance) workouts.
Saturdays are rest days for me, except in very rare cases where I'll run on Saturday night after sundown. I'm a Seventh-day Adventist and Sabbaths are rest days, both for mind and body.
So that leaves Monday through Friday for my runs. Mondays will be Tempo workouts. Wednesday = Long Run. And Friday for Speed/Strength workouts.
View at Smith Park, one of my training trails.
More alterations! Since I'm looking at doing a trail marathon after this half marathon, I'm going to run some of my half marathon training runs on trail. I plan to do most of my easy miles on trail and at least some of my long run miles on trail. Because of this, my easy and long miles will be slower than my prescribed paces, but overall, I'm expecting the effort and the overall benefits of trail running to win out here.
Tempo and speed/strength interval runs will be on pavement to keep my legs used to the pounding of the road.
The Hansons Half Marathon training plan is 18 weeks. So technically, I started this plan this week. Fortunately for me, the plan eases into the miles, so while I'm tapering for my 10k, I'm ramping up for the half marathon training. This week was a little weird in that I did 3 interval workouts for 10k training and one easy run instead of the 4 easy runs prescribed by the Hansons plan. But the next two weeks are fairly similar since my 10k plan has me doing mostly easy miles between now and the 10k with the exception of a couple of easy interval workouts and a negative split run. None of which will negatively affect the ramp up of the half marathon plan.
This Bluetooth headset is still pretty much useless. The Android app did get an update, but I'm still having crashes both with the headset itself and the app. Not pretty. I'm a little scared to trust the thing for runs because I want to make sure I have my podcasts or music when I want them.
The Vi has definitely not lived up to the hype for me.

NBC forms scripted programming joint venture with Snapchat
In March, NBCUniversal put a $500 million strategic investment into Snap's IPO.
NBCUniversal and Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, are reportedly forming a joint venture to develop and produce scripted content for the ephemeral messaging service.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, company executives confirmed the move and said that both NBC and Snap will get equal equity stakes in the business. Maggie Suniewick, president of NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises, told the publication that other platforms just want access to clips from existing NBC shows but Snapchat is pushing to create "something new and different for different audiences."
Earlier this summer, NBC News launched a twice-daily news program called "Stay Tuned" on Snapchat. But the two companies' ties go back further than that.
RELATED: NBC News launches show on Snapchat
In March, NBCUniversal put a $500 million strategic investment into Snap's IPO. NBCU CEO Steve Burke called the Snap investment part of the company's strategy to invest in digital growth, which includes NBCU's recent $400 million investment in BuzzFeed and $200 million investment in Vox.
"I am proud of the strides we have made in the digital space recently. With the Snap investment, we have invested over $1.5 billion in promising digital businesses in the last 18 months. Importantly, we have become a better, more digitally-focused company as a result," wrote Burke in the memo obtained by Variety.
Before that capital injection, NBC and Snapchat had been working on original content together, which included supplemental coverage around the 2016 Summer Olympics, a spinoff of the "The Voice," and a live show called "The Rundown" on E!, a cable network owned by Comcast/NBCU.
Last summer, Nick Bell, vice president of content at Snapchat, hinted that scripted shows would begin showing up on Snapchat this year. He stressed that the mobile-first scripted content on Snapchat would be different from traditional TV shows, and likely much shorter in length—about three to five minutes per episode.
