History, however, indicates the Giants are in a good position to win their third N.L. pennant since 2010 and advance to the World Series against the Kansas City Royals. Teams leading 3-1 in a best-of-seven series have gone on to win 85 percent of the time in major-league postseason history (66-12), with 38 of those series ending in Game 5.
The Giants will try to clinch tonight behind ace Madison Bumgarner, who threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings against the Cardinals in Game 1.
▪ Bochy didn't rule any of his relievers out tonight after the bullpen complied six shutout innings in the Giants' 6-4 win Wednesday night in Game 4. He said he'd "probably stay away from" using Yusmeiro Petit, who threw three of those innings, but that Petit is a resilient arm.
▪ Hunter Strickland hasn't appeared in the past two games and threw a bullpen session Monday, saying he and the Giants' pitching coaches were also going to explore whether the right-hander might be tipping pitches. Strickland has allowed four home runs in four appearances this postseason, all to left-handers on fastballs.
"He has a little different delivery, which some pitchers have, where he takes the ball out of the glove, and we just wanted to make sure he was not tipping," Bochy said. "So we took a look at it. We had him throw on the mound. We had some hitters look at it.
▪ Tim Lincecum still has yet to pitch in the postseason. Bochy said he's an option tonight after the heavy bullpen usage this series, but it has become clear Lincecum is not a key part of the relief corps like he was in 2012.
▪ The Cardinals have Tony Cruz, a right-handed hitter, starting against Bumgarner after left-handed-hitting A.J. Pierzysnki started the past two games.
Manager Mike Matheny said Yadier Molina gave "a pretty valiant effort" trying to talk his way into the lineup today. But Molina still isn't able to swing with an oblique strain. Matheny did say that Molina was going to enter last night's game had the Cardinals tied it or gone ahead in the ninth.
▪ According to the Giants' pre-game notes, their comeback from three runs down in Game 4 matched the second-largest comeback in franchise playoff history. They rallied from four runs down in Game 3 of the 1921 World Series against the New York Yankees.
Also, the Giants' streak of six consecutive postseason games without a home run is the longest by any team since the 1973 Oakland A's went eight consecutive games without one. The A's won the World Series that year.

Q: Mac Matlab/ Simulinks Real time audio input I am building a simple real time delay system on my mac (2010-11 model; os x Mavericks; serial audio input) using Simulinks (Matlab 2014a) consisting of a 'Audio Input' block, an 'Audio Output' block a 'delay' block and an adder (to add the delayed signal to the original signal), but I receive the error: 'Error in 'untitled/From Audio Device': A given audio device may only be opened once.' twice for the audio input block.
When I try the same using a audio file as my input I get the desired results. Also the same diagram works fine on a windows machine.
Please help.
Thank you.

A: I think the issue is that you are trying to output a sound to the audio device, while at the same time to trying to read from the audio device. That won't work, you can't do that. See Keep playing a sound over and over again in Matlab? for a similar issue in MATLAB. You need to somehow wait for the reading part to complete before outputting the sound back to the audio device, or use two different devices, one for reading and one for writing.
I suspect the same model worked on a Windows machine because it probably had two audio devices (maybe a built-in and an external), and the model automatically detected this, reading from one device, and outputting to the other. The documentation for both blocks says:

Use the Device parameter to specify the device from which to acquire
  audio. This parameter is automatically populated based on the audio
  devices installed on your system.

which again, reinforces that theory. If you still have access to the Windows machine, you can double-check that this is the case.

Q: Unable to trigger Segue to manually load VC - self.navigationController is Nil? EDIT
After some more digging around it has become apparent that if i try to call a segue from the view controller class after a fast application switch to/from Safari i get an exception stating that the segue does not exist. It definitely does, in the VC that is loaded on screen, and i have checked the spelling and it's 100% correct.
What makes it even weirder is that if i call that exact same method from an IBAction it works fine.
Here's the code i am using:
-(void)goToPhotoPage{

    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"twitterAuthComplete" sender:self];

}

If i call this when the app resumes i get an exception, however if i call it from this IBAction, attached to a UIButton, with doing nothing different the segue works as expected and no exception.
- (IBAction)twitterToPhoto:(id)sender
{
    [self goToPhotoPage];
}

Arrrrgrghrhhgrgrg!

ORIGINAL QUESTION
I am working on an iPad application that uploads user photos to Facebook/Twitter.
As part of the process i have to jump to Safari to do OAuth for twitter, the app then jumps back via a specific URL and get's the tokens e.t.c
However for some reason when the application re-awakes i cannot trigger any segue's or manually load any VC's.
I have a success block in my AppDelegae which get's called when the upload is complete which calls a method in the VC to close a spinner and segue to the success view.
The spinner stops as expected, but no matter what i try i cannot get the segue to work.
Everything is hooked up, the segue has an ID and i get no error or exceptions in the console, just nothing happens. The only way i can get code triggered segue to work after this point is to use a user trigger one connect to a UIButton, after that one complete they start to work again.
Here is the code with callback in my AppDelegate:
- (void)postToTwitter:(NSString*)postText image:(UIImage*)image
{
    NSData *data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.5);

    [_twitter postStatusUpdate:postText
                mediaDataArray:@[data]
             possiblySensitive:nil
             inReplyToStatusID:nil
                      latitude:nil
                     longitude:nil
                       placeID:nil
            displayCoordinates:nil
           uploadProgressBlock:^(NSInteger bytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {

           } successBlock:^(NSDictionary *status) {

               ViewController * vc = [[ViewController alloc]init];
               [vc triggerSuccess];

           } errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {

               ViewController * vc = [[ViewController alloc]init];
               [vc uploadFail:error];

           }];
}

in the VC i have tried the following:
- (void)triggerSuccess
{
    [self segueToSuccess];
}

- (void)segueToSuccess
{
    [self hideMessage];
    [self.navigationController performSegueWithIdentifier:@"approveSegue" sender:self];
}

As well as:
- (void)triggerSuccess
{
    [self segueToSuccess];
}

- (void)segueToSuccess
{
    [self hideMessage];
    UIViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"done"];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}

In a moment of pure desperation i even tried:
- (void)triggerSuccess
{
    [self segueToSuccess];
}

- (void)segueToSuccess
{
    [self hideMessage];
    //[self.navigationController performSegueWithIdentifier:@"approveSegue" sender:self];
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
    [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
    [self performSelector:@selector(segueToSuccessPart2) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.25];
}

- (void)segueToSuccessPart2
{
    UIViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"done"];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}

I've obviously missed something, and i'm guessing it's to do with the application going into the background and the VC being "unloaded" from memory, and needing re-instatiating, but i'm not sure where to begin with that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm about to throw the computer out of the window . .
Thanks
Gareth
Edit 1
After doing some more troubleshooting it appears that during this call in the VC:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];

self.navigationController is nil . . .
I'm guessing that is likely the cause of the issues i'm seeing?
Edit 2
So as suggested by Kelin, i am trying to make sure i retain the Navigation Controller.
I have done the following in AppDelegte:
@property (nonatomic, strong) UINavigationController *navController;

and
@synthesize navController;

But when i try to access this from the VC using the below code, it's still nil . .
AppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
UINavigationController *navController = appDelegate.navController;

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
[navController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];

Edit 3
I have also added this to the AppDelegate, which means the Navigation Controller is no longer nil. But still nothing happens . . .
if (!self.navController)
{
    self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithNibName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
}

A: The problem is you trying to perform segue from storyboard using programmatically created View Controller.
You use -performSegueWithIdentifier: sender: completely wrong. In this method "sender" is a button, or any other control which action initialises segue, but not the view controller to be pushed.
Usually segue is created with storyboard. But if you really need to create it manually, call:
 -[UIStoryboardSegue initWithIdentifier:source:destination:]

where source and destination are view controllers.
Read this: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-interface_builder/articles-storyboard/StoryboardSegue.html
or this (about custom segues):

A: You can not do both dismiss and pop together either you have to pop or dismiss the view controller and
Every ViewController have it's own NavigationController which is default point out to navigation controller you added to AppDelegate.
So, You also can access it by self.navigationController (Edit 3)

Also check whether you initialised navigation controller in
  AppDelegate

self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstVC];


Michael C. Thomsett explains the basics of options trading, and why it might be a good addition to your investment plans.
Are you investing in companies or in the prices of their stock? A lot of emphasis is placed on the difference between "value" and "growth," but perhaps a more important distinction should be made between what you invest in. If you follow the fundamentals, you are probably investing in the company; if you are a technician, your interest is in the stock and its price movement.
When you buy shares of stock, you enter into a rigid contract. You pay money for shares, and those shares either increase or decrease in value. You are entitled to dividends if the company has declared and paid them. And if you own common stock, you have the right to vote on corporate matters put forth by the board of directors. The stock remains in existence for as long as you want to continue owning shares, and you have the right to sell those shares whenever you wish.
With options, the contract is quite different. An option controls 100 shares of stock but costs much less. However, holding an option grants no voting rights and no dividends (unless you also own the stock). You can close an option position at any time you want on listed options on stock. But perhaps the most important distinction between stock and options is that options have only a finite life. They expire at a specified date in the future. After expiration, the option is worthless. So it has to be closed or exercised before expiration to avoid losing all its value. You exercise a put by selling 100 shares at the fixed strike price, and you exercise a call by buying 100 shares at the fixed strike price.
Stock and option terms are quite different, including indefinite versus finite lives, dividends, and voting rights.
Options, in general, contain specific terms defining their value and status. These terms include the type of option (put or call), the underlying security, the strike price, and expiration date. Every option's terms are distinct; listed option terms cannot be changed or exchanged other than by closing one option and replacing it with another.
The terms of each option contract define it and set value (known as premium) for each and every option contract. These terms are described next.
There are two kinds of options: puts and calls. A put grants its owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell 100 shares of a specific underlying security, at a fixed strike price, and before the specified expiration date. A seller of a put may be obligated to buy 100 shares at the fixed strike price, which occurs when the market value of stock is lower than the put's strike price.
A call is the opposite. If you buy a call, you have the right, but not the obligation, to buy 100 shares of a specific underlying security, at a fixed strike price, and before the specified expiration date. A seller of a call may be obligated to sell 100 shares at the fixed strike price, which occurs when the market value of stock is higher than the call's strike price.
Holders of long positions are not obligated to exercise, but their positions give them leveraged control over 100 shares of stock per contract.
The rights and obligations of option buyers and sellers are summarized in Figure 1.1.
Put values rise if the underlying security's share price falls. This occurs because the fixed strike price does not change; so the lower the current price of the stock, the more valuable the right to sell 100 shares at the higher strike price. For a call, the value rises when the underlying security price increases; so the higher the current price of the stock, the more valuable the right to buy 100 shares at the lower strike price.
For example, if you buy a put with a strike price of 35 and the stock's market value falls to $28 per share, you gain a 7-point advantage. You can sell 100 shares of stock at the strike price of $35, or $700 higher than the current market value of the stock. If you buy a call with a strike price of $40 and the stock's market value rises to $44 per share, your call grants you the right to buy 100 shares at the strike price of $40, or $400 below current market value.
These basic attributes of options form the rationale for all strategies, whether they involve one or more option positions, short or long, and combinations of various kinds (options hedged against stock positions, combinations of call with call, call with put, or put with put in a variety of long or short positions and employing one or many different strike prices.) The strategic possibilities are endless and provide hedging and insurance for many positions and in many different kinds of markets.
The underlying security may be 100 shares of stock, an index, or a futures position. This book limits examples to options on stock, which are the most popular in the options market and also the most likely kind of underlying security most people will use for option trading. The underlying cannot be changed. Once you open a long or short option position, it is tied to the underlying and will gain or lose value based on the direction the stock moves.
Every option position relates to a specific underlying security, and this is not transferable.
The underlying may have a fairly narrow trading range, or it may be quite volatile. The degree of price volatility in the underlying (market risk) also affects option premium values. The greater the volatility, the greater the value of the option. This volatility premium, also called extrinsic value, will change as expiration date approaches; but for longer-term options, the volatility of the underlying is a significant portion of total premium value. So the attributes of the underlying are essential for judging the value of options. It is a mistake to determine which options to buy or sell based solely on their current value; the quality of a company on a fundamental basis and the price volatility of its stock (or its technical risk attributes) have to be compared and judged as well to make an informed trade decision.
Strike price is the fixed price at which an option can be exercised. The strike price determines total option value. The proximity between strike and the current value of each share of stock determines whether premium value is growing or shrinking. When a put's strike is higher than the current market value of the underlying stock, it is in the money; and when a call's strike is lower than the current market value of the underlying stock, it is also in the money. If the stock's price moves above the put's strike or below the call's strike, the option is out of the money. If stock share price and the option's strike price are exactly the same, the option is at the money.
The proximity between strike price and current market value of the underlying determines the premium values of every option.
These relationships between strike of the option and current value of the underlying security are summarized in Figure 1.2.
An option's expiration date is fixed and cannot be changed. It occurs after the third Friday of the expiration month. Standard listed options expire up to eight months out, and the longer-terms option (LEAPS, or Long-term Equity Anticipation Securities) expire up to 30 months away, always in January.
The time to expiration determines how options are valued. The longer the time, the greater the portion of an option's premium known as time value. It may be quite high when options have many months to go before they expire, but as expiration nears, the decline in time value accelerates. By expiration day, time value falls to zero.
The fact that options expire means value is also finite; unlike stock, every option becomes worthless as soon as the expiration date has passed.
For option buyers, time is a problem. If you buy an option with a long time until expiration date, you will have to pay for that time in higher premium; and if expiration will occur in the near future, premium is lower, but the rapid decline in time value makes it difficult to create a profit. Three-quarters of all options expire worthless, making the point that it is very difficult to beat the odds simply by speculating in long puts or calls.
In comparison, option sellers (those who short option contracts) have an advantage in the nature of time value. Because it declines as expiration approaches, short positions are more likely to be profitable. Short sellers go through a process of sell-hold-buy rather than the traditional long position, which involves the process of buy-hold-sell. So the more decline in an option's premium, the more profitable the short position. Expiration is a benefit to option sellers and a problem for option buyers.

Board index Caribbean Regional Airline News LIAT (1974) Limited - Antigua
Negotiations to purchase LIAT put on hold
News about this airline - please include a link to the source as well as the article text itself.

ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC)
The Antigua and Barbuda Government has confirmed that negotiations with Barbados to become the majority shareholder in the cash-strapped regional airline, LIAT, "have been put on hold".
Antigua and Barbuda is seeking to become the largest shareholder government of the airline and is in negotiations with Barbados to acquire most of that country's shareholding in the Antigua-based airline. The other shareholders are Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada.
Antigua and Barbuda currently holds 34 per cent of the shares and if it succeeds in convincing Bridgetown to part with its LIAT shares, would have 81 per cent of the airline that employs over 600 people and operates 491 flights weekly across 15 destinations.
St John's said it would seek to acquire the LIAT shares owned by Barbados through a take-over of the liability of Barbados to the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). The island said the aim was to finance keeping the three planes owned by the CDB since Barbados was prepared to sell them.
According to a statement issued after the weekly Cabinet meeting here, the current position on the negotiations had been discussed.
"Those negotiations have been put on hold by a number of events in both Antigua and Barbados, and by the counter-offer made by the selling state which Antigua has rejected. No date for the re-start of negotiations has yet been set," the brief statement noted giving no indications as to what are the "events" holding up the talks.
In July, Prime Minister Gaston Browne said that the US$44 million price Barbados was asking for its LIAT shares was too steep, insisting that while his government wanted a bigger stake in the regional airline, it had no intention of "giving away money".
"I understand mathematics and I understand percentages, and I also understand value for money. So if we were to settle at US$44 million, that would be a steal for Barbados, and we are not in the process of giving away money.
"We are in the process of creating value and to get fair value for the people of Antigua and Barbuda, so as far as I am concerned – and I have said this to the Prime Minister of Barbados (Mia Mottley) because she knows my thinking – discussions cannot start at US$44 million. She knows my position and has since come down," he said then.
Bridgetown has said that it does not conduct negotiations in the public domain and has refrained from making public statements on the issue.

They are NUTS! the airline can't make money on its majority monopoly routes with 10 x ATR42/72-600's AND they think it can go to jets and fly further out where competition is tough and make money?
NO clue about aviation, where is Richard Branson? Nowhere, just making up lies for the ill-informed in Antigua.
The Antigua and Barbuda government says its future plans for the cash-strapped regional airline, LIAT, will fly as far north as Florida, stopping in places like Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.
Antigua and Barbuda is seeking to become the largest shareholder government of the airline and is in negotiations with Barbados to acquire most of that country's shareholding in the Antigua-based airline.
The other shareholder governments are Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada.
Antigua and Barbuda government currently hold 34% of the shares, Barbados 49%, so 17% for all the rest!
The government said it would seek to acquire shares owned by Barbados through a takeover of the liability of Barbados of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).
Instead of collapsing LIAT or reducing the size, the Gaston Browne administration is aiming to enlarge LIAT's routes.

Q: Store Mathematica results in an external rdbms I want to store Mathematica results in an external rdbms, Postgres specifically.
The Mathematica documentation talks a lot (eg in 'Relational Database Quick Start') about extracting data from external databases but very little (to nothing?) that I can see about using external relational databases to store information.
It seems to me that to use something like
ExternalEvaluate[
 dbConnection,
"INSERT INTO tbl(col1, col2) VALUES "<> calculated_values_as_strings
]

is very rough and potentially unsafe.
With Mathematica V12's new RelationalDatabase and EntityStore objects there must be a nicer way to store data in an external RDBS. How is it done?
Is DatabaseLink the only solution?

There is hardly any slope to this bench that sits above all the other blocks, on the crest of a hill, overlooking the entire ranch. The brick colored soil is fertile and fed by an underground spring. Not only is this site unique to the ranch, but the winemaking is as well. We pick these grapes a little later than the other blocks, which means a higher sugar concentration, and a darker fruit profile. We also barrel ferment the juice, which is a labor and space intensive endeavor, but pays off with lush integrated tannins, and bursting fruit.


Dream-Singles.com – What's in it for You?
This website is very convenient to use: it's purely intuitive, and there are no unnecessary complications. Basically, you just browse through the Europian, Russian and Ukrainian women's profiles, click on whichever interests you and then click on the messaging or other self-explanatory icons. Still, let's take a look at those steps from the beginning.
Like on most other similar websites, you only have to provide a few basic details to create an account: your name, email, location, and desired password. In just a few moments, you have an account with Dream-Singles.com, but it's fresh and empty. You will have to fill in the rest of it to tell the ladies a thing or two about yourself. If you don't feel like doing that, there is an alternative: sign in with your Facebook account. This way, the website will automatically upload all the necessary information from your Facebook profile. Of course, you will still have to tell the ladies about yourself and what you are looking for – 2-3 sentences for each section is optimal. Note that no billing information is necessary here. This is because there is no membership fee: you only pay for the features that you order, and only then you enter the details of your card (or another payment method).
How much do Dream-Singles.com's services cost?
As we (and they) point out, joining the website is free. Neither do you have to pay any regular membership or subscription fees. The only thing you do have to pay for is using the special features with price tags attached to them. These prices vary, and you buy as much as you need, so the monthly expenditure can only be estimated. We have calculated that a regular gentleman would spend on the website as much as $1 per month average.

Q: Interpretation of ZINB when ziformula = ~1 in glmmTMB I estimated a ZINB model with the probability of producing a structural zero as equal for all observations with ziformula = ~1. For context: I want to know what predicts the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) over 20 days.
zinb <- glmmTMB(CPD ~ 1 + day + X2*X3*X4 + X5*X6*X4 + X7 + (1 + day + X2||ID),
data = data, ziformula=~1, family="nbinom2")

I got the following output for the zero-inflated part:
Zero-inflation model:
            Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|)
(Intercept)  -1.2626     0.1117   -11.3   <2e-16 ***

*

*I know that the count model has a log link function in which I have to use exp() to get the rate ratio (please correct me if wrong). I also know for the zero-inflated model that I have to calculate exp(-1.27) = 0.28 and that 0.28 means the probability of having a structural zero. This already confuses me a little because I thought when I have a logit link function (which there is in the zero-inflated part) I have to use plogis(-1.27) but I repeatedly read that I have to use exp(-1.27)? Any explanation there?

*What I am also confused about is, since I have longitudinal data, if this probability for the zero-inflated part is only for day 1 or is it for all days? How it's written in Brooks et al. (2017) that the ziformula = ~1 means "the probability of producing a structural zero as equal for all observations" confuses me. And also: is the value of exp(-1.27)=0.28 a rate ratio, odds ratio, or what is it?

Thank you so much for your help!

Q: Is "layout" the same as "layout resource" in Android Studio? How can I programmingly create an XML layout resource? I am really confused by these two concepts. I have known "layout resource" refer to some XML format files such as "activity_main.xml", and inside an XML file there is a layout. So "layout" and "layout resource" may be different, I assume.
Today when I am using inflate (int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) , I don't know how I can get the ID of the "resource" (aka the XML file) , because I just programmingly create a new layout for ListView to display items, and I can only get the ID of the new layout by using mylayout.setId(View.generateViewId()) . But I don't know the ID of the "resource", since I never create an XML file. Is the ID of a layout equal to the ID of its XML file?
So the question is here: when I only create a layout programmingly, how can I get its XML file? Should I create a XML file rather than a layout? If so, how can I make a new XML file programmingly?

A: You can directly access the id of your xml file through: int id = R.layout.activity_main
Note that this id is associated with the xml file itself. To access the id of a specific view within your layout file, replace layout with id: R.id.my_view_id.
For example, if you want to inflate my_layout.xml, you can pass R.layout.my_layout in the resource parameter of inflate (int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot).
When you're inflating a layout at run-time, you are using an existing xml file to create your layout. A layout resource is a layout. Layout is just an abstraction to represent your UI. It does not refer to anything specific.
Also, you cannot 'create' an xml layout programmatically (rather you shouldn't) to generate your UI at run-time. But, you can create a view or a set of views contained within a ViewGroup programmatically.

Duke professor talks role of digital storytelling in Israel-Palestine conflict
Media Credit: Rachel Schwartz | Photographer
Stein's book examines how individual recordings of state civilian killings have shaped narratives in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
By Katelyn Aluise Nov 8, 2021 2:00 AM
The Institute for Middle East Studies held a virtual discussion on the use of digital storytelling in the new age of conflict between Israel and Palestine Thursday.
Rebecca Stein, an associate professor of cultural anthropology at Duke University, discussed how the increase in the use of cameras is changing the politics of the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is explained in Stein's recent book, "Screen Shots: State Violence on Camera in Israel and Palestine." Shana Marshall, an assistant research professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs, and Imani Cheers, a professor of media and public affairs, moderated the event.
Stein said "Screen Shots" is the second book in a multi-volume project that considers how the proliferation of cameras across the Arab-Israeli theatre changes the perception of state violence. She said although the conflict between Israel and Palestine is centuries old, it has evolved in the digital age through the use of cameras that victimize and gain supporters for both Palestinian rights activists and the Israeli government and defense forces.
She said there was a "digital promise" that greater visibility and more cameras capturing the conflict from multiple angles and collecting evidence would create a political narrative for each of the Israeli and Palestinian sides.
"My book is looking at all these different eyes on the scene of state violence, all these different investments in the camera and what happens when the camera is live when state violence unfolds," Stein said.
She said the Israeli military believes that if the military has more cameras, the government can justify its actions and the occupation of historic Palestine. She said human rights activists supporting Palestine hope to use cameras to collect evidence of Israeli violence and secure international justice for Palestinians, but they're failing because of Israeli military obstacles, like beatings and land occupations.
Stein said officials must have the original copy to use footage as evidence in a courtroom, requiring Palestinian videographers to physically deliver the video because of unreliable internet speeds.
"They had to actually deliver the memory stick or the VHS cassette physically to the West Jerusalem office across a highly militarized landscape of occupation with its numerous constraints and violently so on the Palestinian movement," Stein said.
She said Israeli forces are adopting a "repudiation script" through their attempts to silence Palestinian activists and label their records as false. Stein said the Palestinian movement has run into failure in its inability to present footage that has been validated in court to prove the human rights abuses that Palestinians are facing.
"I'm proposing that a really important avenue into this archaeology of fake news is a visual arena," she said. "Because the visual archive of state violence was such a profound piece of the story, these cameras became an incredibly important site of contestation."
She said Palestinian witnesses have been unable to attain justice because the Israeli right-wing views them as "unreliable narrators" of their abuses and even their own history, land and the violence they face from Israeli forces.
"A lot of the processes that I'm tracking here are really an attempt to take colonial argumentation, colonial processes and update them in the digital age," she said.

Q: Home router with "advanced" firewall rules, only allow certain outbound IP ranges for specific devices I'm looking for a home network router that allows me to isolate certain machines from most of the internet but not all of it.  I donot want to do this based on port numbers alone but by ip range.
For example, a Windows 10 machine on my network (192.168.4.10) can communicate through a proxy, but also has need of accessing the internet in ways that cannot be proxied.  For this purpose, the box is allowed to connect to a specific IP range only (a.b.c.d/16 for example).  It would also be good if this can be either allow or deny based rules (some boxes only have deny rules, meaning you have to invert everything and cannot combine rules properly).
So I'd like to configure a rule in the router that looks like this (with iptables):
iptables -N PROXY   # create proxy chain
iptables -A FORWARD --source 192.168.4.10 -j PROXY    # send traffic from isolated machine to PROXY chain
iptables -A PROXY --destination 145.x.y.z/16 -j ACCEPT   # allow some subnet only
iptables -A PROXY -j DROP  # drop everything else (enforces proxy use)

Or shorter (untested):
iptables -A OUTPUT --source 192.168.4.10 --destination 145.x.y.z/16 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT --source 192.168.4.10 -j DROP

What router brand/type might have such capabilities, or what keyword should I be looking for?  Most I've looked at only allow this kind of blocking for a specific client based on "services" (ie. a port range and protocol).  If they'd also have some fields for an ip mask and make the ports optional I think it would be good enough for what I'm trying to achieve.
Any ideas?

Fla. woman shoots poop-covered intruder
A home invasion turned a bit grotesque Sunday evening when a stinky intruder was shot by an Ocala, Florida, homeowner.
The strangest part about the story? The intruder had poop smeared on him.
Victor Alex Etherington, 27, was transferred to intensive care after the incident, which started after he knocked on the 54-year-old homeowner's window demanding she let him in, according to WFTV .
Although the woman told him to leave, Etherington reportedly kicked in the door and chased her upstairs to her bedroom. That's when the woman locked the door, called 911 and armed herself with a .22 caliber handgun, she told investigators.
Etherington, meanwhile, took off his shorts and forced his way into the closet, prompting the homeowner to shoot him in the stomach.
When deputies arrived, they found Etherington – who had defecated himself -- naked and hiding behind the bedroom door, the report said.
Etherington was taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center where he underwent surgery. His condition is stable, though he is in the Intensive Care Unit.
Detectives say the man, who they believe lived in the home for over a decade before moving, was intoxicated. Charges in the bizarre incident are still pending.

The Case of the Feeding Tube Fear
August 16, 2016 by Tammie Sherner MSN, APRN-CNS
Owen is a 63-year-old man with stage III hypopharyngeal cancer. He is divorced and lives alone but has an adult daughter who visits occasionally. He has a dog named Pete, who accompanies him everywhere.
Owen has been prescribed radiation and chemotherapy before surgery. He has had two weeks of therapy and has lost nearly five pounds from his already slight build. He came into the office this morning for his weekly check, and Julia, his oncology nurse, found him angry and defensive in the exam room. The cancer center dietician was backing out the door, looking concerned. She tells Julia that she had been talking to him about a feeding tube, and "he just blew up."
"Because of the expected toxicities, malnutrition in patients with head and neck cancer is a serious clinical concern for patients, their caregivers and their providers. Malnutrition during treatment has been associated with more emergency room visits, hospitalizations and treatment interruptions; compromised treatment efficacy; and diminished quality of life. Significant weight loss prior to surgery for head and neck cancer has been correlated with worse outcomes."
Starting a conversation by reflecting on the emotion is an effective way of initially defusing the situation. "You seem very angry at the mention of a feeding tube," Julia says. "Can you tell me more about that?"
"I can't even imagine it," Owen says. "I won't be able to eat anything by mouth. Someone is going to cut into my stomach and put a hose in? Then I'm going to have to carry around a bag of chocolate milk looking stuff everywhere with me? You have got to be kidding me!"
According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, prophylactic feeding tube placement should be strongly considered for patients with a 5% weight loss over one month, which Owen is on track for.
Julia explains to him, "No one will be cutting into your stomach. It is not a tube, but more similar to a button-sized disc, and it's not noticeable with clothing on. You will only use it at mealtimes or during the evenings to supplement what you are able to eat on your own."
She stresses that for Owen to be able to be there for Pete, and be able to walk him, he has to keep his weight and energy up. Plus, "You will do much better with this very aggressive treatment that we are giving you."
Julia also offers to connect Owen with another patient with head and neck cancer who has just finished his active treatment but has yet to have his feeding tube removed. Owen seems most excited about this option.
Before leaving the infusion center, Owen has an appointment with the dietician, who schedules a prompt appointment with the gastroenterologist for evaluation for a feeding tube placement. Julia updates the treating oncologist and radiation oncologist and, with Owen's permission, makes a quick update to his daughter.

Last Thursday we arrived at Mo i Rana, up in northern Norway, visiting Hilde's family.
enjoying the nature (just look at those photos) and fishing. Caught some large fish so far, and will probably catch some more.


Welcome to our programme of half-day and full-day Saturday and Sunday rides. We ride at a steady-to-leisurely pace and always keep together as a group. We normally take in a café or pub stop for elevenses and/or lunch. It is your responsibility to ensure that your bike is in good working order, and that you have a means of getting home in the event of a breakdown. Mileages are the estimated total for the ride. Our rides are graded easy, moderate and strenuous. A guide to these terms, and a list of recommended kit items can be found at the foot of the page. Come and ride with us a couple of times and, if you want to continue, we ask that you join Cycling UK . Please note: you ride at your own risk. Sounds unfriendly but we have to say it. We look forward to seeing you.

Cardiff CTC seeks to dovetail its weekend rides programme with the one offered by Spokes Cycle Touring Club, a UK-wide club with a concentration of members in Cardiff. The club is also part of Cycling UK. Full details of Spokes' programme of day rides can be found here.
Easy: ideal for the rider who may be fairly new to cycling in a group, has ridden a good number of times by themselves, has a reasonable level of fitness and would like to try and extend their riding by joining a group ride. We will take a fairly gentle pace. This being Wales, there will inevitably be hills, but we take our time, walk up if we have to, and regroup at the top. Distance: 25-30 miles on rolling terrain with occasional stiffish hill, average speed: 8-10 mph.
Moderate: ideal for more regular riders; a steady (but not a fast) pace, around 10-12 mph; a fair amount of up-and-down but no overly demanding climbs.
Strenuous: suitable only for confident or regular riders; a steady-to-brisk pace, 12-15 mph; possibly lots of up-and-down and some long, challenging climbs.


When it comes to productivity, I am a true believer that it doesn't just come knocking on your door early in the morning.
Yes, we are the most efficient first thing in the morning (well, in my case, after a giant mug of coffee) but the actions need to be taken the night before in order to save time the next day, avoid the unnecessary hassle and get those tasks fly off your to-do list.
Too many times I had been too tired or just couldn't be bothered to do the prep work in the evening. It led to anything from mild panic to a total chaos the following day.
I started swapping my "bad" evening habits for good ones, and (as dramatic as this will sound) it has transformed my life!
1. Get a good sleep.
Now, this advice might sound like a no-brainer but how difficult it is sometimes to simply get a good night's sleep, am I right?
We all have different circumstances, too.
I personally have been all over the spectrum when it comes to sleep.
There were times when I was studying for my Master's late into the night and squeezing in those precious few hours of sleep between 3 and 6 am.
I also worked 60+ hours a week (I basically had no weekends) and slept very little too, as you can imagine.
After way too many years of this awful cycle, I managed to change things up, and now I am getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night. The quality of my sleep has improved massively too!
I do understand that we are all different, and your current sleeping routine might differ from mine.
At the same time, there are things we ALL can do to improve sleep.
Start with the right mattress.
I can't even tell you how many times I have experienced good and bad (sometimes VERY bad) mattresses while traveling. The mattress will either save the day (and night!) or ruin it.
The best thing is, though, is getting back home and climbing into your own bed.
Why do I love my bed so much? Enter Leesa.
My mattress is Out. Of. This. World.
The Leesa mattress has got 3 (!) premium foam layers, each one with its unique purpose, that work together to adjust to your body perfectly providing optimum support and, as a result, super peaceful sleep. Leesa call this their Universal Adaptive Feel™ which, I can confirm, was put into action from night one. They say, it takes a person from 30 days to 2 months to adjust to the new "sleeping conditions". How long did it take me? 1 night.
I don't know about you but the last thing I enjoy doing is going to showrooms and "testing" the mattresses. In my opinion, by choosing Leesa, you're getting guaranteed the high quality you're looking for in a mattress. It's also delivered straight to your door, it's super easy to unpack and get your bed sleep-ready. On top of that, Leesa kindly gives you a 100-night risk-free trial run with the mattress (which I am more than sure you won't use).
I love to support brands and companies that support those in need. For every 10 mattress they sell, they donate one (30,000+ mattresses donated so far!). Leesa also plants one tree for every single sold mattress.
I personally vouch for this mattress and am thankful for my very comfy and peaceful sleep. Our Leesa mattress has definitely contributed in a big way into helping both myself and my husband to sleep better, wake up feeling fresh and ready to be productivity ninjas!

So many times I thought I knew what I needed to do the following day, and then bam! You wake up in the morning and you're clueless as to what is priority, what could be done quickly/later or what could be postponed altogether.
I have tried writing a to-do list in the morning. For some reason I would always overestimate the amount of time I have on that particular day.
My to-do lists used to be super long, and I would always feel discouraged looking at them at the end of the day.
A lot not done. A lot has to migrate to the next day. A lot needs more than one day to be finished.
I go about my plan for the day differently now.
First of all, I write one the night before.
It lifts off the stress of having to waste time in the morning thinking what needs to be done that day.
Secondly, I think of my top goals/results I want to achieve.
Instead of crowding my to-do list with everything and anything, I jot down top three things I MUST do the following day. Then, I can add a few other important to-dos, but I purposefully try and keep that list short and achievable. Also, I make sure not to forget the important deadlines, meetings, events and responsibilities.
I will definitely share more about how I build my to-do list if you'd like that. I have been working on improving this system for years and now it's finally working perfectly for me.
This doesn't happen overnight, obviously.
For many years I used to have sleeping habits that were all over the show. The time I went to bed could vary from 10 pm to 3 am, and I was always tired.
I'm not saying I'm functioning 100% according to my routine right now (sometimes late nights are unavoidable) but I try to.
It's not just about your evening routine but even more so about the morning one.
When I open my eyes in the morning, I know exactly what I am going to be doing in the next hour or two without thinking twice about it. Because I have done it maaaaaaaany times on a daily basis. Even at the weekends (well, most of the time).
This one applies mostly to those of us who tend to keep working even after the work day has officially ended. Yes, it's great we are "going after our dreams" and having that #GoGetter attitude (which I briefly mentioned in this Instagram post the other day) but hustling without having any rest and sacrificing spending time with those we love is an absolute joke. It doesn't help us maintain healthy relationships, a healthy schedule or a healthy life. Finish work early or as early as you can, and give yourself time to re-charge your batteries and creative juices.
I'm sure you have heard of this quirky habit many successful people have. They turn off their phones quite early in the evening or they leave them to charge in a different room, and never look at them until the next day. How many times have we all spent hours each night aimlessly scrolling through social media? Not only a) it's a waste of time but also b) it doesn't help you relax. Instead of occupying yourself with what others are doing, you could be writing your own plan for success.
I find this one the hardest to do but every time I have done it, I have seen huge benefits. Of course, it's perfectly fine to stay up a night or two a month and work on your goals/dreams but make sure you're getting enough sleep during other 28-30 days every month. It goes without saying that it would make an immense impact of how you feel in the morning.
Decisions we make the night before define how productive (or unproductive) we would be the next day.

We are huge fans of BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) here at Vargas Face & Skin Center. Find out what BBL can do to reverse aging and treat a wide range of skin conditions.
Practitioners of aesthetic medicine have always tried to find a beauty and anti-aging solution that is safe, non-intrusive, and effective. BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) is a cutting edge technology that has the answer to the problem of skin rejuvenation and aging. But what is BBL?
BroadBand Light Therapy is a pulsed light therapy that is used to correct unevenness in skin tone and make the skin firmer and younger looking. The technology is designed such that the light interacts with the skin to clear blemishes, scars, pigmented lesions, and vascular lesions to make the skin firmer and reverse aging.
BBL is a form of Intensive Light Therapy (IPL) developed by a company called Sciton. Both techniques are similar, but BBL has different wavelength of light options. This means it can treat a wider range of issues. It can be set for different treatments such as photo rejuvenation, acne therapy, hair removal, uneven skin texture and making the skin firmer.
Laser therapy differs significantly from BBL and IPL. Laser therapy can penetrate to deeper layers of the skin and is a more aggressive therapy. The main issue with laser therapy is that it is much more expensive per treatment. Because it is an aggressive treatment, it can feel quite uncomfortable to some people.
Hair Removal: The photothermal energy destroys hair follicles and can eliminate hair growth in a few sessions of treatment.
Aging and Sun Damage: The device is set to stimulate collagen using photothermal energy. This stimulation of collagen restores the skin's youthful appearance.
Skin Texture: BBL can also be effective in addressing uneven skin texture and tone. Visible results can be achieved in a few sessions.
BBL treatments require several sessions to get the desired results. The number of treatments you'll be required to have will depend on the condition of your skin, your skin type, and color amongst a few other factors. Typically, you'll need to go for three or four sessions a year to treat various skin conditions. Each full-face treatment session will take an average of about 15 to 20 minutes.
One advantage BBL has over laser is that it causes very little downtime and discomfort. After a BBL treatment you can go back to doing your day-to-day activities. The only side effect is that your face may feel warm and look pink. The latest BBL equipment is equipped with advanced cooling features. Patients who are likely to feel uncomfortable may be given a numbing cream to reduce the discomfort.
It is important to disclose any information about prescriptions and medication you may be taking. Some medication may affect the results and cause unwanted reactions. The results of BBL are long term and permanent. The sun spots will darken then fall off to reveal pristine, younger-looking skin. However, you need to continue taking care of your skin does BBL does not protect you from future skin damage.
