QuitGamble – Update report August 2022
Author: Anders Bergman
How does it feel to develop a tool to help people break free of gambling addiction? It's a question I've gotten many times. It feels incredible to challenge something so big that nearly anyone you talk to has an opinion, but what is the price?
How does it feel?
It's been 3.5 years since we started this project. I've discussed the starting process in articles and podcasts, so that part is well known. But I haven't talked much about how it feels working with the project daily.
How does it feel? Most days, it feels like lying on the floor and being kicked from both sides over and over. It's been a painful experience.
The constant need to justify what we're doing
Being met by suspicion rather than curiosity
Little understanding and support from authorities
Services we pay for that don't deliver what they should
Google is punishing us
Interestingly, we meet less resistance from the gambling industry than people working with problem gambling. So far, I haven't received any criticism from the industry. Most people I talk with get interested and want to know more about what we're doing. Responsible gambling and, more importantly, Compliance are hot topics in the industry. QuitGamble.com fits nicely into that.
I know we're trying to develop something new, and we have a different approach to most traditional ways of helping people. But, we're not trying to compete with anybody. We're trying to find new ways to help people, to offer an alternative. Yet, we're often met with suspicion by people in the problem gambling industry.
A few weeks ago, we received a fine for not submitting a document to the authorities here in Malta. The document should have been submitted in October last year, and we asked them about it in September. They said everything was okay, but then nine months later, we received a huge fine. Instead of telling us, "Hey, please send us this document, " they waited nine months and charged 5€ per day for the delay. For a two people company, it's a kick in the stomach when authorities behave like that instead of supporting small businesses trying to do something good for the world.
I've learned to deal with criticism, suspicion, and being questions. Even if it's painful, I can understand it. These people want to help people, too, in the best way they can. It's harder for me to deal with a major player like Google. 2 months ago, our website got punished for something. Maybe it was the new design we worked on for six months on. The new design improved our user interface and decreased the amount of code by 90% (to make it easier for Google to read), or maybe it was the 50 guides we had created for different US states to give people in these states some information about how to stop gambling. I don't know.
Since then, we've removed these guides and added more content to the website. We'll see if anything happens in the following google update (whenever that comes.)
One cause of depression (and why I got depressed four years ago) is feeling out of control. No matter what you do, you can't control the outcome. You can do your best but can't control what will happen. (You can read more about it in the guide about co-dependence.)
Feeling out of control is what happens to us right now with Google. I'll continue to do my best, adding content to the website, improving the website, and creating collaborations with other organizations, but ultimately, Google decides if we will rank or not. I can't tell you how frustrating and painful that is.
As a small organization with no financial support, we have a small budget to work with. Last year, we invested heavily in a new platform and mobile app. It was amazing, all the possibilities. But, going all in with these platforms also made us entirely dependent on whether they are working and if the promised feature is launched on time. It hasn't been the case, unfortunately.
QuitGamble.com – August to December 2022
Despite all adversity, we look brightly at the future. We've had some success with collaborations in the past two months. We hope that we will continue and that we will be able to deepen these collaborations. We're about to pass 700 members. Hopefully, we'll see a steady increase in members during the autumn.
Features we'll launch:
New CRM system
Streamlining the programs
New onboarding
New emails
Guides for Mindset, Identity, and Change
We're building a studio to make our videos
The chat feature we've looked forward to adding to the members' pages is in beta now. From what we've seen, it looks promising.
We have just switched the CRM system to make the sign-up experience faster and ensure that the emails come on time.
We're also working on a new onboarding process to help people get started and use the platform. We hope it'll add value for the members. In September, we'll streamline the programs and add some features (if we manage to code them.)
We will add more videos to improve the onboarding and help all current users. We'll do videos with me talking instead of just animated videos. We'll do our best to make them as professional as possible.
The emails will be completely redone, and we'll add more information. We hope to add a notification feature, so you as a user can choose if you want to get an email or a notification on your phone.

NTSB Blames Pilot Failure in Fatal Regional Airline Crash in Missouri
The National Transportation Safety Board said it has determined that the cause of an aircraft accident in Kirksville, Missouri was the pilots' failure to follow established procedures and properly conduct a nonprecision instrument approach at night in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
This included their descent below the minimum descent altitude (MDA) before required visual cues were available and their failure to adhere to the established division of duties between the flying and nonflying pilot.
On Oct. 19, 2004, Corporate Airlines flight 5966, a British Aerospace "Jetstream" BAE-J3201, on a scheduled flight from Lambert St. Louis International Airport, in St. Louis to Kirksville, Missouri, struck trees and crashed short of the runway during a night nonprecision instrument approach to Kirksville Regional Airport. The 2 pilots and 11 of the 13 passengers were fatally injured, and 2 passengers received serious injuries. Impact and a post- crash fire destroyed the airplane. Night instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident, and the flight operated on an instrument flight rules flight plan.
"It is imperative that pilots understand and follow proper procedures when flying in demanding conditions," said NTSB Acting Chairman Mark Rosenker. "Pilots are also expected to perform in a professional manner at all times when operating an aircraft."
The Board noted that current regulations permitting pilots to descend below the MDA into a region where obstacle clearance is not assured may result in reduced margins of safety for nonprecision approaches, especially in conditions of low ceilings, reduced visibility, and/or at night. Further, these regulations can have the unintended effect of encouraging some pilots to descend below the MDA in an attempt to acquire visual cues that will permit them to continue the approach, as evident in this case.
The Safety Board indicated that the pilots failed to follow established procedures to effectively monitor the airplane's descent rate and height above terrain during the later stages of the approach and relied too much on minimal external visual cues. Although descent rate and altitude information were readily available through cockpit instruments, both pilots were largely preoccupied with looking for the approach lights, the report noted.
The Board determined that the pilots' failure to establish and maintain a professional demeanor during the flight and fatigue likely contributed to their degraded performance. The pilots' nonessential conversation below 10, 000 feet was contrary to established sterile cockpit regulations (no flight crewmember may engage in any activity during a critical phase of flight which could distract any crewmember from the performance of his or her duties). It reflected a demeanor and cockpit environment that fostered deviation from established standard procedures, crew resource management disciplines, division of labor practices, and professionalism, reducing the margin of safety well below acceptable limits during the accident approach.
According to the Board's report, research shows that fatigue can cause pilots to make risky, impulsive decisions, become fixated on one aspect of a situation, and react slowly to warnings or signs, which could result in an approach being continued despite evidence that it should be discontinued.
Through it's investigation, the Board learned that the less than optimal overnight rest time available, the early reporting time for duty, the length of the duty day, the number of flight legs and the demanding flying conditions were factors that affect any fatigue that the pilots may have experienced. This supports the Board's finding that fatigue likely caused the degraded performance and subsequent decision making.
Therefore, the Board concluded that providing pilots with additional fatigue- related training may increase their awareness and use of fatigue avoidance techniques and thus improve safety margins.
Safety Board recommendations to the FAA as a result of the investigation include:
* Directing the principal operations inspectors of all Part 121 and 135 operators to reemphasize the importance of strict compliance with the sterile cockpit rule.
* Requiring all Part 121 and 135 operators to incorporate the constant-angle-of-descent technique into their nonprecision approach procedures and to emphasize the preference for that technique where practicable.
* Revising Part 121 and 135 regulations to prohibit pilots from descending below the minimum descent altitude during nonprecision instrument approaches unless conditions allow for clear visual identification of all obstacles and terrain along the approach path or vertical guidance to the runway is available and being used.
A synopsis of the report, including a complete list of the Conclusions and Recommendations, can be found on the Board's Web site, www.ntsb.gov.

Дикастес () - юридична посада в Стародавній Греції, що представляла собою, в широкому сенсі, суддю або присяжного, але більш конкретно позначала аттичну посадову особу демократичного періоду, яка разом зі своїми колегами була конституційно уповноважена виносити вироки з усіх питань, які закони і звичаї своєї країни вважали такими, що вимагають судового розслідування.

Процес відбору
В умовах, що з маси приватних громадян вибирається безліч осіб, які тимчасово асоціюються як представники всього народу, і які виносять рішення між окремими його членами, таких що делегати дають клятву, про чесности та сумління при виконанні покладених на них обов'язків, є деяка подібність між конституцією атичного дикастеріону (суду) та англійського чи американського суду присяжних, але майже у всіх інших відносинах відмінності між ними значні. В Афінах умови призначення полягали в тому, що дикаст повинен бути вільним громадянином, який має повне право голосу (ἐπιτιμία), і не молодше тридцяти років, і з осіб, які мають таку кваліфікацію, шість тисяч вибиралися за жеребом для служби протягом кожного року. Про точний спосіб їх призначення наші відомості трохи туманні, але ми можемо припустити, що відбір відбувався щороку під керівництвом дев'яти архонтів та їхнього офіційного переписувача; що кожен із цих десяти архонтів вибирав за жеребом імена шестисот чоловік із племені, або філи, призначеного йому; що все число відібраних таким чином було знову розділено по жеребу на десять секцій по 500 осіб у кожній разом з додатковою секцією, що складається з тисячі осіб, з яких іноді могли бути заповнені недорахунки в секціях по 500 осіб.

Кожною з десяти секцій як відмітний знак присвоювалася одна з десяти перших букв алфавіту, а як свідчення про призначення кожному дикасту вручалася невелика табличка під назвою пінакіон (πινάκιον), на якій видряпано буква секції та ім'я людини. Три бронзові пластини, знайдені у Піреї та описані Едвардом Додвеллом у його "Подорожах", імовірно служили цій меті. Написи на пластинах складаються з наступних літер: Δ. ΔΙΟΔΩΡΟΣ ΦΡΕΑ, Ε. ΔΕΙΝΙΑΣ ΑΛΑΙΕΥΣ, та Β. ΑΝΤΙΧΑΡΜΟΣ ΛΑΜΠ, а також зображення сови, голови Горгони та інші символи атичного народу. Тисяча надстроковиків, мабуть, мали якісь інші знаки, але про це ми не маємо достовірних відомостей.

Присяга
Перш ніж приступити до виконання своїх обов'язків, дикаст повинен був скласти офіційну присягу, яка в ранні часи приносилася в містечку Ардеттус, недалеко від Афін, на березі Іліссоса, а в пізніше - в якомусь іншому місці, про яке нічого не відомо. За часів Демосфена присяга затверджувала кваліфікацію дикасту та його урочисте зобов'язання чесно та непідкупно виконувати свої обов'язки в цілому, а також у деяких певних випадках, що стосувалися призначення магістратів, питання чималою мірою підконтрольне дикасту, оскільки мало хто міг вступити на посаду без того, щоб його обрання не було подано до суду для затвердження або докімасії; Крім того, у ньому містилася спільна обіцянка підтримувати існуючу конституцію, що дикаст, звичайно, мав можливість зробити, коли перед ним поставали особи, звинувачені у спробі її підриву.

Розверстка
Після складання цієї присяги та проведення вищезгаданого поділу залишалося призначити суди на кілька ділянок дикастів, у яких вони мали засідати. Це не було, як у першому випадку, призначенням, яке мало тривати протягом року, але відбувалося під керівництвом тесмотетаїв, de novo, щоразу, коли треба було призначити певну кількість дикастів. У звичайних випадках, коли одна, дві або більше секцій із 500 осіб складали склад суддів, призначених для розгляду конкретної справи, процес був надзвичайно простим. Виготовлялися дві скриньки або скриньки (κληρωτήρια), в одній з яких знаходилися квитки з відмітними літерами секцій, а в іншій - аналогічні квитки, що вказували на суди, в яких мали відбуватися засідання. Якщо справа мала розглядатися однією секцією, то з кожної урни одночасно витягувався квиток, і результат оголошувався, наприклад, що секція повинна була засідати в суді F; якщо була потрібна тисяча дикастів, то дві таблетки аналогічним чином витягувалися з урни, що представляла секції, а одна витягувалася з іншої, як зазначено вище, і оголошувалося, що секції А і повинні були засідати в суді F, і т.п. Більш складна система повинна була бути прийнята, коли дробові частини секції засідали самі по собі або додавалися до інших цілих секцій: Але що це могло бути, ми можемо тільки припускати, і очевидно, якийсь інший процес відбору повинен був переважати у всіх випадках, коли були потрібні судді особливої кваліфікації; як, наприклад, у суді над порушниками обрядів, коли до суддівства допускалися лише посвячені; і в суді над військовими злочинцями, яких залишали на суд тільки тих, чиїми товаришами вони були або повинні були бути в той час, коли злочин був скоєний.

Очевидно, що розподіл дикастів по судах на день відбувався таким чином, на ринковій площі, і що він проводився завжди, крім одного, тесмотетами; у цьому випадку, коли магістрати та посадові особи давали звіт про свою поведінку після закінчення терміну повноважень і захищалися від усіх звинувачень у корупції або неналежній поведінці (або euthyne), як посадові особи виступали логісти. Щойно відбувався розподіл, кожен дикаст отримував палицю, на якій були накреслені буква та колір присудженого йому суду, що могло служити як квитком для входу, так і відрізняти його від будь-якого нероби, який міг спробувати зайняти місце після початку роботи.

Оплата
Дикасти отримували плату за факт відвідування роботи (τικαστικόν або μίσθος δικαστικός). Ця оплата, як кажуть, була вперше заснована Періклом, і як правило, припущення ґрунтується на словах Арістофана, що в одному із творів змушує персонажа Стрепсіади сказати, мовляв свій перший обол він отримав як дикаст, за що придбав іграшку для свого сина. Згідно з "Схолії про Арістофана", оплата згодом була збільшена до двох оболів, але це, здається, є лише помилковим висновком з приводу його автора. Три оболи або триоболон (τριώβολον) з'являються ще в 425 р. до р.х. в комедіях Арістофана, а потім згадується часто. Німецький класицист Філіп Август Бьок зробив висновок з цих уривків, що триобол був введений Клеоном близько 421 р. до р.х., але ця думка є спірною, зрештою деякі вчені вважають, що плата трьох обол за дикастеса існувала до того часу.

Проте, як би там не було, одне безсумнівно: плата дикастесів була однаковою в усі часи, хоча малоймовірно, щоб коли-небудь становила два обола. Плата провадилася після кожного збору суду геліастів колакретами в такий спосіб.  Після того як громадянин за жеребом призначався суддею того чи іншого суду, він отримував при вході до суду разом з палицею (βακτήρια або ῥάβδος) табличку або квиток (σύμβολον). Після закінчення судових справ дикаст, виходячи, віддавав свій квиток пританею і отримував натомість свою плату. Ті, хто прибував надто пізно, або не мали права на триоболон. Річна сума цих зборів, за підрахунками Арістофана, становила 150 талантів, сума дуже велика і, можливо, може бути віднесена тільки до квітучих часів Афін.

Q: Creating sub-sub registry keys in VB.net I'm using the registry to store some configuration data for an app that I'm working on and I'm struggling to work out how to create sub folders.
Here's an example:
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER I've created a folder for my company name and then one of my app like this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name
I can create a key within that folder but what I can't seem to do is to create a further folder within it e.g.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice
so that I can store keys relevant to a particular device.  Here's what I'm trying to achieve:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/useMidi
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/activeMidiDevice

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice1/
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice1/setting1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice1/setting2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice1/setting3

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice2/
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice2/setting1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice2/setting2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Company/App_Name/midiDevice2/setting3

Here's my code:
' Set flag to indicate that we need to use MIDI to control program and store device name
Dim registryPath As String = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CompanyName\App_Name\"
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue(registryPath, "useMidi", True)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue(registryPath, "activeMidiDevice", deviceName)

' Create device specific path to store settings
registryPath = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CompanyName\App_Name\" & deviceName & "\"
Console.WriteLine("Path: " & registryPath)

' Write this to the registry
My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(registryPath)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue(registryPath, "setting1", value1)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue(registryPath, "setting2", value2)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue(registryPath, "setting3", value3)

This code just creates all of the keys in the same registry folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CompanyName\App_Name\
I'm sure this is trivial (and I know from inspecting the registry) it's possible to do but what am I doing wrong ?

and what you install first.
Always works reliably for me… What I do.
Whats the command for this?
You can find a link on this thread http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,61811.25.html. I didn't try to do a full install of Marcello's zip file. Instead I copied the file to my local machine and pulled the dansguardian executable out of it. Then I copied the executable up to my pfsense box.
> # so wait slightly less than this to avoid duff pconns.
another issue is blacklists. unfortunately, dansguardian doesn't work with blacklist. when i select a banned list, config file doesn't change.
Works fine for me… can you give me any more info about your setup?
I updated dansguardian with bigblacklist.tar.gz. i configured squid server on loopback interface and default port.
in dansguardian banned list, i select news domains and press save button. config file doesn't change. i change my proxy settings in firefox to dansguardian ip:8080.
badboys.com is blocked but all news domain (like http://beebenews.com/) can be accessed.
How did you update the blacklist? Did you re-download them? Let me give you a couple of debugging ideas.
First, you'll have to force it to run "/usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/dansguardian.php fetch_blacklist". You can do this from the UI, but I'd just set the URL of the blacklist download in the UI and then go run it from the command line. The package keeps an internal list of directories that you are allowed to pick from in the UI. The list is built when the above code is executed.
1.) make sure you've run the fetch_blacklist code.
I use my local package and blacklist repository. our admins doesn't have shell access.
You can change the blacklist URL in the blacklist tab under dansguardian. Then change the update frequency to "download and update now" and click save.
I'm not sure how the whole install flow works, but the code is in /usr/local/pkg/dansguardian.inc and the function is sync_package_dansguardian(). Then blacklist check is done by line 931 (says "fetch_blacklist(…").
thanks rjcrowder, But it doesn't work.
I run "/usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/dansguardian.php fetch_blacklist" from shell .
Do you have a blacklist URL set in the UI (under the blacklists tab)? Does it work to manually retrieve the blacklist from the URL you've entered?
Unfortunately, dansguardian files has been changed, but version numbers are same. i downloaded new files to my package repository and problem solved.

Event venue business hopes to host weddings and parties in Landings shopping area
Josh Bootsma
WaddieAnn Events recommended by Planning and Zoning Board for special use
By Josh Bootsma
LANSING, Ill. (September 10, 2020) – WaddieAnn Walton is an entrepreneur with an eye for design. About three years ago, those skills led her to open an event venue in Matteson, IL. Now, Walton hopes to grow her business by moving it to Lansing.
Walton came before the Lansing Planning and Zoning Board on September 9 to request a special use permit to operate an event venue business at 16841 Torrence Avenue, in the heart of the Landings shopping area. Walton answered the Board's questions before it voted unanimously to recommend that the Village of Lansing grant Walton the special use permit.
Out of the old, into the new
Walton said her current location in Matteson has served her well, but is somewhat limited in space and in need of repair. The owner of the property recommended that Walton look at another of its properties, 16841 Torrence Ave., as an upgraded location for her. Walton agreed and took the necessary steps to come before the Village with a proposal. She said the new location will have roughly 3,500 square feet of hosting space, whereas her Matteson location has only 2,500.
Walton's current venue in Matteson, pictured above, can comfortably hold about 100 people. She hopes to be able to hold closer to 150 at the new location. (Photo courtesy of WaddieAnn Walton)
"I have a lot of inquiries, but I can't fulfill [some of] them because of my space," Walton said of her current location. She hopes that she'll be able to fit something like 150 people in the Lansing location, after COVID restrictions have been relaxed.
Walton said her business is focused on parties mostly for older individuals and weddings. She does not currently have a kitchen or offer any food or drink services, and she plans to operate the Lansing location the same way, assuming her proposal is approved by the Village Board. Renters of Walton's venue will have to bring their own food or catering service to events, and they will have to provide decorations as well.
If approved by the Village Board, Walton's event venue will be neighbors to Octapharma Plasma. The shared building is immediately to the north of Forman Mills. (Photo: Josh Bootsma)
Walton said that although she currently does not allow alcohol, she's open to exploring the possibility of a liquor license in the future. "Especially if you're having a wedding or reception, everybody wants to do a toast," she said. She said that even a limited allowance for liquor would be good for her business. "That would be better than nothing at all, because [not allowing liquor] is another way you lose business." Walton mentioned that she hires security for all of her events.
Apart from cosmetic changes needed to the Landings location like new carpet and painted walls, Walton has worked with the Lansing building and fire authorities to see what else needs to be addressed. She said the main thing needed is another bathroom that meets ADA requirements.

COVID Cautious
Walton said COVID forced her business to close in March and she wasn't able to reopen until late June. Even now that she's open, she's very cautious and particular about enforcing health guidelines. She requires that parties stay below the 50 person maximum, and requires that attendees wear masks during events, except while eating and drinking. "I have diabetes, so I have a pre-existing illness so I can't expose myself. And I have a son who's at home with me and can't expose … my family members to somebody [that doesn't] adhere to the guidelines of the state."
Lansing part of larger dream
WaddieAnn Walton is excited to bring her event venue business to the Landings in Lansing, the same location where she used to shop about 15 years ago. (Photo courtesy of WaddieAnn Walton)
Walton, who has a Master's degree in organizational leadership, said her entrepreneurial spirit makes her want to turn her small business into a larger franchise, with locations through the area and potentially even around the country. For now, Walton is excited at the thought of opening a business in the Landing shopping area, the same area where she would often shop 15 years ago.
Before moving to Matteson, Walton was a Calumet City resident and can remember many of the Landings businesses that have come and gone in the last years. "It's like a pat on the back when you can become a part of your community, not as a resident but as a business owner, so that means a lot to me," she said. "It's like going back to your high school and you've made this huge accomplishment—you're a senator, or a CEO of a bank, or a famous athlete. It's a good feeling."
Walton, who has three grown children, said she will sometimes ask her children to help her set up and tear down before and after events. "I got my degrees when they were little kids. … My kids were right there for all my accomplishments and I think it means a lot for myself, as a single parent, to show them that with hard work and determination, whatever you set your mind to, you can achieve it."
Walton will appear before the Village Board on Tuesday, October 6. Village Board meetings are held at 7 p.m. at the Lansing Municipal Court Complex (the police station) at 2710 170th Street.

Q: How to mask password in c? In C, I want to display every single character that the user type as *
(Ex, Please type in your password: *****)
I'm searching around but can't be able to find a solution for this.
I'm working on Ubuntu. Does anybody know a good way?

A: Take a look at the ncurses library.  It's a very liberally licensed library with a huge amount of functionality on a large variety of systems.  I haven't used it very much, so I'm not sure exactly which functions you'd want to call, but if take a look at the documentation, I'm sure you'll find what you want.

A: See my code. it works on my FC9 x86_64 system:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <termios.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char passwd[16];
        char *in = passwd;
        struct termios  tty_orig;
        char c;
        tcgetattr( STDIN_FILENO, &tty_orig );
        struct termios  tty_work = tty_orig;

        puts("Please input password:");
        tty_work.c_lflag &= ~( ECHO | ICANON );  // | ISIG );
        tty_work.c_cc[ VMIN ]  = 1;
        tty_work.c_cc[ VTIME ] = 0;
        tcsetattr( STDIN_FILENO, TCSAFLUSH, &tty_work );

        while (1) {
                if (read(STDIN_FILENO, &c, sizeof c) > 0) {
                        if ('\n' == c) {
                                break;
                        }
                        *in++ = c;
                        write(STDOUT_FILENO, "*", 1);
                }
        }

        tcsetattr( STDIN_FILENO, TCSAFLUSH, &tty_orig );

        *in = '\0';
        fputc('\n', stdout);

        // if you want to see the result:
        // printf("Got password: %s\n", passwd);

        return 0;
}

A: use a program like this one
ask me for more questions
this program is used to put * instead of the char and it deletes the input after using backspace ^^
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
    char a[100],c;
    int i;
    fflush(stdin);
    for ( i = 0 ; i<100 ; i++ )
    {

        fflush(stdin);
        c = getch();
        a[i] = c;
        if ( a[i] == '\b')
        {
            printf("\b \b");
            i-= 2;
            continue;
        }
        if ( a[i] == ' ' || a[i] == '\r' )
            printf(" ");
        else
            printf("*");
        if ( a[i]=='\r')
            break;
    }
    a[i]='\0';

    printf("\n%s" , a);
}

A: Do it manually; Read input one character at a time with for example getch() in conio, and print a * for each.

NASCAR PR arrested for this...
Racing publicist "Chip" Williams arrested on child sex charges
(AP, Jan. 31, 2006) - A well-known NASCAR publicist was arrested Tuesday and charged with statutory rape and soliciting a minor for sex over the Internet, authorities said.
Richard Norman "Chip" Williams Jr. of Mooresville was arrested in the parking lot of a Guilford County church where he had arranged to meet what he believed was a 14-year-old girl with whom he had been conversing in an Internet chat room, Sheriff B.J. Barnes said. Instead, he ended up the target of a sting.
Williams' firm, Williams Company of America, Inc., handles media and public relations for drivers Kyle Petty, Bobby Labonte, Derrike Cope and John Andretti, among others. Williams also formerly worked for NASCAR, where he handled public relations for the top-level Winston Cup racing series.
Barnes said investigators targeted Williams after receiving information about a four-year sexual relationship between the publicist and a now-15-year-old girl from Guilford County.
Williams is charged with first-degree sex offense with a child and statutory rape sex offense - both stemming from the alleged relationship with the 15-year-old - and solicitation of a child by computer to commit a sex offense, Barnes said.
He was being held at the Guilford County Jail on a bond of $1 million and Barnes said he expects additional charges.
When The Associated Press called the jail to confirm Williams' presence there, a jailer agreed to rely a request to Williams seeking a statement or the name of his lawyer. Williams declined to respond to the question.
"I think there's a lot more involvement, from things we got from the Internet," Barnes said. "Basically, we feel he has probably been involved with more than one person."
Update 2.8.06: NASCAR publicist's Internet soliciting case may include 50 kids; 'Hogwash,' lawyer says

Christy Gunter Sim succeeds in providing an incredibly insightful and meaningful text that is significant for survivors, the Church, and all people and entities who support survivors.
Survivors of spiritual abuse can feel justifiably averse to anything having to do with God or spirituality after emerging from the war zone of spiritual abuse. However, cutting off the aspects of oneself that are yearning for healthy, edifying connection to something other than the self—the essential definition of spiritual expression—can be equaling damaging.
Crumpton writes from a strong, progressive Christian perspective. She has coined a new word to describe the archetype she promotes, "femmevangelical," a mash-up of "feminist" and "evangelical." She brings an honest voice, one borne out of the experience of attending a conservative church that presented the Divine only in a male voice and with a male perspective.
"Can a person have a 'persistent, compulsive dependence' on religion? Elizabeth Esther makes a compelling case for religious addiction in her new book, Spiritual Sobriety. Drawing from personal experience, as well as the stories of others, Esther writes extensively about the characteristics of religious addiction and its impact on faith communities, specifically Christianity."
As she unveils her "crazy in the blood" narrative, we become aware that the experience of her family is intricately interwoven with her experience of the Church. There are moments of deep grace, but also moments of rejection. The Church, the hands and feet of Jesus, seems to want nothing to do with stories like hers and her father's and brother's.
This book serves as a useful introduction to an important spiritual figure. It also works to deepen her readers' perspectives on her life, and to whet the appetite for seeing how the octogenarian feminist religious leader and her cohort continue to shape the monastic tradition in postmodern relief.
"So what is this revolution that's happening before our eyes? It's a movement away from top-down, pre-packaged religion toward a spirituality centered in an awareness of God's presence as encountered in daily life—often in places and people where traditionally we have failed to recognize that holy presence."
"Coming out ruined my life. At least, that's the way it seemed. To claim my identity as a lesbian meant sacrificing everything on the altar of my own selfishness, of my need to be "true to myself." To come out as a 43- year- old woman meant walking away from a tolerable twenty- year marriage, leaving behind a career in church ministry, and learning to negotiate custody arrangements and a new solo life. To come out, for me, meant walking away from God."
Elizabeth Johnson's marvelous last chapter, "Peace over an Angry Sea," is a sermon preached in 2002 for her colleagues at Fordham University who had recently lost family members... Christian faith focuses us not simply on the letting go but on a divine catcher. Lovely, I say, and a nice coda to this theological volume.
Searching for Sunday describes Rachel's struggles as a millennial (coming of age about 2000) to find a satisfactory community in the church. She organizes this churchly memoir around the seven sacraments: Baptism, Confession, Holy Orders, Communion, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, and Marriage.
We start by thinking we are going to find the perfect church; then we become disillusioned when we learn it doesn't exist; and, finally, we begin again by learning more slowly the art of finding out how our gifts—and questions—contribute to a bigger picture of who the church is called to be.
As the choir sang, and the ministers spoke, and the candles flickered, for the first time I saw Mary in all of it. A young woman in need of a safe place. A young woman denied entrance. A young woman giving birth to the Human One anyway, in an inauspicious tangle of blood, fear, and pain.
So there we have it: three excellent books celebrating 40 years of an Episcopal feminist reformation. Any one of them, or all together, they will serve to inform and stimulate the minds of Christian feminists everywhere.
"Because of the challenges facing women clergy, it is encouraging to see two important resources. Written not only for women embracing their pastoral calls but also for churches and church leaders, both authors make the case that Christian communities must do more to address oppression of clergywomen."
Why Doesn't Church Work Anymore?
I do not reject the digital church. In digital church I see healing happening. I see a flattening of hierarchies that were made up in the first place and have been profoundly destructive. I see people telling the truth. And I see other people listening.
She wrote this book for people like me, the unchurched, those who are too damaged, scarred, scared or pissed to return to a pew — people who are not traditionally religious, who, as she says, maybe listen to "This American Life," who have more education than money, who for all our preciousness still want some kind of transcendent moment in our lives.
"Creating a Scene in Corinth sets up experiences of role-playing as an interactive method for understanding the context and the issues of Paul's letter to this early group of Jesus followers. It involves us in biblical criticism at the same time as we personally wrestle with God's word to us in our day. "
I wonder if the"more severe" unshared wounds Lotz mentions in the epilogue were originally the inspiration for the writing, but were later left out to avoid causing more pain to those involved. Or perhaps it was just my own personal wounds hoping she was going to give them voice.
It's Not All About Millennials!
"As I witness all this hand-wringing about the millennials and their place in the church, the explanations and apologies and deconstructions, I can't help but wonder why we assume that middle-aged folks attend church for the inauthentic worship experiences, seeking only an artifice to carry them through Sunday morning. And that the elderly are more intrigued by style than by substance."
The concept of Christian identity was new to me, so I was especially intrigued by the lengthy first section, as McLaren discussed several ways in which Christians relate to people of other faiths in our country and world. Interestingly, other religions can have the same range of identity conflicts."
"Women who think, women who question, women who are educated are a threat to those men who think power is theirs by right—simply by having been born male. And so in many times and places, now and in the past, education for girls has been discouraged, opposed, made difficult, or actually forbidden —in spite of the impoverishment experienced by nations that hold such attitudes."
It seems, in my experience (and by what I've observed) that most church potlucks are still initiated, organized, and managed by women. Why is that? Why are women the ones who stay long after everyone else is gone, cleaning the kitchen (while a few men linger to stack chairs)?
As we drove away from our church one bright, sunny Sunday, my husband turned to me and asked if I had found the worship service boring. "Well, yes" I answered, "but I guess that is pretty normal for me." The truth is there are few Sundays when I feel like going and even fewer when I'm glad I went. I'd much rather be doing something else: taking a walk outside if the weather is warm, curling up under a soft blanket reading a good book if it is cold, or enjoying a leisurely brunch.
Wisdom does not make distinctions between public and private or spiritual and sacred. For wisdom, all of life is full of the divine and to be lived to the full.
Leaving Church is a memoir of finding, losing, and keeping—although with none of the preachiness that sometimes accompanies such narratives and with an ever-present consciousness of doubt and uncertainty. Taylor's honesty on these points pervades the narrative and makes it one not to miss.
It is not often that one comes across a worship-related book so richly layered that it becomes a prized resource far beyond the parameters of corporate prayer. This volume, a treasure trove of both scholarship and artistry, is one of those.
Christians today need an awareness of the intimate involvement of women in the early Christian movement, especially as it began in house churches. Too many assume women's roles in church leadership only began during the feminist movement of the last 30 or 40 years. But we were there from the beginning!
Grady's heart may be in the right place with regard to women's roles and rights, but his research and thinking are incredibly shallow and sloppy [see sidebar]. He refers frequently to church history, but with little cultural understanding.
As I read and re-read the anecdotes Porter uses to describe each leadership style, I recognize the Midwives who mentored me, Choreographers who led rituals and celebration in many moments of crisis and joy in my life, Weavers (the woman who initiated my church group!) and the Intercessors for whom I pray because I just don't have their kind of courage.
After opening chapters on house churches, Roman religion, and Roman social relations (these economical treatments are among the finest I have encountered), Finger devotes the bulk of her work to a reading of Romans that combines theological, sociological, and rhetorical analysis.
Although we're of different generations, Diana and I had similar experiences of attending "Rotary Club"-type mainline churches that left us spiritually unsatisfied in our early years, leading us to turn to evangelicalism on our own as teenagers. There we found a more lively form of Christianity and an exciting emphasis on a personal relationship with Christ.
Perhaps now that a woman has publicly claimed her priesthood, we will recognize ourselves within her story. Perhaps we will find each other and then, one day, like the walls of Jericho, and the Wall in Berlin, the wall between the men and women of the Roman Catholic Church will just come tumbling down.
When I call Her by name, / especially in community, / I find comfort, support, solace, strength, / I am held in Her loving arms. / In relationship, I pray / and worship.
Careful to avoid parking in the reserved "visitor" space, I found my way to a few United Methodist Churches within fifteen to twenty minutes from my house. Comforted that none of my choices turned out to be mega-church wannabes with huge white screens and coffee-house coffee, I felt somewhat hopeful that my opening to faith community would end favorably.


Peter Buffett has inherited father Warren Buffett's Midas touch.
Buffett, an Emmy winner, composer and philanthropist, just sold his three-bedroom, three-bathroom condo at the formerly troubled One Madison Park for $4.25 million in an all-cash deal. The 1,962-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment was listed for $4.1 million before a bidding war, which was won by an unnamed buyer in the finance industry.
One Madison Park, which went into bankruptcy in 2010 and was riddled with lawsuits, is now being taken over by Related Companies. Related has settled many of the legal claims at the building and plans to complete construction of the building and put unsold units back on the market.
Buffett and his wife, Jennifer, bought the unit in 2009 for $3.56 million. The 18th-floor corner unit has floor-to-ceiling glass-curtain walls, a chef's kitchen, spa-like bathrooms and a large dining room with Empire State Building views.
Prudential Douglas Elliman broker Yoko Sanada declined to comment. Buffett, who could not be reached, spends much of his time upstate when he is not traveling.
Actor and stand-up comedian Jerry Brooks (pictured), who goes by the stage name J.B. Smoove and is perhaps best known for playing Leon on "Curb Your Enthusiasm," has closed on an 843-square-foot, one-bedroom condo at One Brooklyn Bridge Park for $524,398. The loft-style unit includes a home office.
The new development at 360 Furman St. is the only residential building in the 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park. Brokerage firm MNS, which handles the building's sales, declined to comment.
Prudential Douglas Elliman broker Michael Lorber (below right) — and son of PDE boss Howard Lorber — isn't just selling real estate on Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing New York." He's also buying.
The bachelor just closed on a $1.3 million Palm Beach home on Orange Grove Road. The two-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom residence is 1,597 square feet and was listed for $1.49 million. Built in 1952, the house was renovated in 2003 and includes a pool in the back garden and direct access to the beach. Lorber's broker was Senada Adzem of PDE's Boca Raton office.
Adzem has just announced the $9.85 million penthouse listing at 3700 South Ocean Blvd. in Highland Beach, Fla. The mega-apartment, owned by Shepard Osherow, co-founder and COO of wealth-management firm Sanford Bernstein, is billed as the largest penthouse in Palm Beach County. It's actually a combination of four apartments into a 9,290-square-foot unit with nine terraces.
Adzem will be at New York's Le Cirque on June 21, hosting a wine-tasting event to promote the property, and she plans to throw another event in the Hamptons.
Mom-and-pop investors might want to de-friend Facebook, but the company's early insiders are still making millions — and looking to buy New York trophy properties.
We hear that one unnamed West Coast-based Facebook insider has flown to Manhattan twice to look at TriBeCa's 144 Duane St., a sprawling multifamily townhouse priced at $49.5 million — up from last month's $45 million price.
The eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom, six-floor home includes an 11,000-square-foot owner's triplex penthouse that comes with 2,775 square feet of landscaped roof-deck and terrace space. The penthouse also features a gym and a half basketball court.
The townhouse also has two renovated 4,000-square-foot rental units and a 7,750-square-foot ground-floor "high-end showroom." The 1862 limestone building has ceiling heights that range from 12 to 17 feet and an elevator.
Listing broker Matthew Gulker of Prudential Douglas Elliman says there is already one bid on the property.
That the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club, which is having its annual Decorator Show House at the Aldyn on 60 Riverside Blvd. through June 14, has a storied history. Jennifer Lopez and Kerry Washington were members of the club, and Gladys Knight recorded an original song, "The Dream," with the club's choir. Designers at this year's Show House include Bunny Williams, Jamie Drake and Thom Filicia.

CHESTER - Columbia Gas of Virginia, headquartered in Chesterfield, will invest $100 million over the next five years as part of a natural gas infrastructure modernization plan approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
The plan provides Columbia Gas the ability to accelerate the replacement of aging natural gas infrastructure.
"In addition to the operational benefits of this system upgrade, this multi-year program will benefit Virginia's economy by creating employment opportunities," said Carl Levander, Columbia's president.
On June 1, Columbia Gas of Virginia filed its plan with the Virginia State Corporation Commission to replace certain types of facilities that qualify under the SAVE Act (Steps To Advance Virginia's Energy Plan), which was signed into law by Gov. Bob McDonnell in 2010. The SAVE Act established a regulatory framework for Virginia's natural gas utilities to invest in replacing older infrastructure and recovering the costs for such replacements in a timely manner.
Columbia will identify and replace those facilities most prone to operational issues.
The types of facilities that are eligible for replacement and recovery under Columbia's SAVE plan include bare steel and cast iron facilities, as well as older infrastructure constructed from other materials that are nearing the end of their operational lives. The Plan also minimizes the financial impact on customers by phasing in the cost of the program over a multi-year period. The cost impact of the program on residential customers in 2012 will be $0.36 per month.
Columbia Gas of Virginia delivers natural gas to customers in portions of Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, suburban Richmond, Central Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley, the Lynchburg region and parts of Western Virginia. The company is one of the seven energy distribution companies of NiSource Inc. serving 3.8 million natural gas and electric customers. Learn more at www.ColumbiaGasVa.com.

Ultrasound is a cyclic sound pressure wave with a frequency greater than the upper limit of the human hearing range. Ultrasounds are utilized in many different fields including human medicine and body contouring! Ultrasonic Energy (ultrasounds) is successfully utilised in order to bring about fat cell lysis and here we will try to explain how this is feasible!
Ultrasonic energy can be delivered either in two different forms: Focused and Non Focused. While Non focused delivery can bring about damage in skin cells while a minimal amount of the energy will reach the fat cells, focused is the ideal method in terms of lipolysis.
Studies had been conducted in many mediums like gelatin models that simulate the human skin and finally at domestic male pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) with focused delivered Ultrasonic Energy and the results are visually observed by using techniques like Schlieren real-time imaging!The results shown in pigs are amazing. The non focused ultrasonic energy is proved not to cause any damage in the skin layer (dermis) while noticable cavitation (look at the pic below) was created in the fat cells (adipocytes) layer! Besides the damage in surrounding nerves and blood cells was almost non observbable!
The focused Ultrasound waves' resonant frequency can bring about the creation of thousands of microscopic bubbles of air around the membranes of the fat cells. These bubbles cause high pressure round the cells!
Observation on histological characteristics of the fat cells showed that what happens is an obvious alteration in fat cell tissue, a changing of tissue connecting fat cells, while an irregular arrangement of collagen fibers in this tissue takes place.
This causes the breaking of the membrane and subsequently the destruction of these fat cells and the release of triglycerides and cholesterol.
In addition its proved that this ultrasound energy is a signal for apoptosis (programmed cell death) of fat cells.
The broken cells are either removed via suction or moved to the liver and are metabolised out of the body. This is why you should drink much water after an ultrasonic session!

NBI files graft complaint vs ex-DOT chief Jimenez over P1-B ad campaign
(UPDATED) 'We believe these "charges" are meant to draw public attention away from the current controversy involving the current Department of Tourism leadership and PTV4,' says former tourism secretary Ramon Jimenez

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has filed a graft complaint against former tourism secretary Ramon Jimenez over a P1-billion ad campaign that allegedly did not undergo the proper bidding process.
NBI media officer Nick Suarez confirmed on Friday, May 4, that the complaint was filed before the Office of the Ombudsman on April 26. The stamp on the document showed the Ombudsman received it on April 27.
The NBI said the complaint stems from an investigation requested by Tourism Promotions Board Chairman Cesar Montano.
In the NBI's transmittal letter to the Ombudsman, investigators alleged that "there are badges of fraud" in the disregard of the bidding process when the DOT awarded an ad campaign contract to Dentsu Philippines, Incorporated.
The NBI recommended that Jimenez and his subordinates at the DOT be prosecuted for graft.
The NBI complaint against the former tourism chief became public as Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo came under fire for the DOT's P60-million advertisement placements made to the media company of Teo's brother, Ben Tulfo, a blocktimer at state-run PTV, in 2017.
The Commission on Audit has questioned the payments made to Tulfo's Bitag Media Unlimited, Incorporated, for DOT ads in the show Kilos Pronto produced by the blocktimer. COA said in its 2017 audit report on the People's Television Network, Incorporated, that the transactions were not supported by the required documents.
In 2012, the DOT under Jimenez bidded out a contract for the development of a multi-year media plan for the campaign, "It's more fun in the Philippines."
The contractor would "design, execute and implement the DOT's media plan in various forms such as digital, broadcast, outdoor/out-of-home, print, etc for the 'It's more fun in the Philippines' tourism brand campaign."
According to the NBI, Dentsu was declared ineligible on July 19, 2012 due to the absence of the required latest Income Tax Return (ITR) and audited financial statement.
NBI's records showed that Dentsu submitted its financial statements on the same day, and was eventually shortlisted by the Special Bids and Awards Committee (SBAC) on July 24, 2012.
Dentsu was awarded the contract on October 12, 2012. The P199.95-million contract was until December 2012.
The contract was renewed twice – in 2013 for P400 million for the period of January to June, and again in October 2013 for P599.780 million, for the period of September 2013 to February 2014.
All in all, the contracts amounted to P1.199 billion.
No bidding?
"It must be pointed out that Dentsu was declared ineligible due to failure to submit the audited financial statement. Dentsu was given 3 days to file its Motion for Reconsideration. It must be emphasised that under Section 30.1 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), R.A 9184 provides the non-discretionary pass/fail criteria," the NBI said.
Republic Act 9184 is the Government Procurement Reform Act.
The NBI added: "Essentially, this means that the absence, incompleteness or insufficiency of a document shall make a prospective bidder ineligible to bid for the particular procurement."
The NBI also raised the irregularity of renewing the contracts twice, noting that the contracts allowed to be extended are those only for "general services which are essential, indispensable, or necessary to support the operation of the procuring entity or for the enhancement of the welfare of its personnel."
According to the NBI's transmittal letter, Jimenez supposedly said that a renewed contract would be subjected for bidding only "when there is an entirely new campaign."
"In the particular instance, he (Jimenez) explained that it is very disruptive to rebid the existing campaign," the NBI said.
RA 9184 allows a negotiated procurement, an "extraordinary" method that permits an agency to directly negotiate with a contractor.
"Assuming that what happened is a negotiated procurement, still, the extension/renewal is violative of Section 53 of RA 9184," the NBI said.
Section 53 states that the contractor "should use the same prices or lower unit prices as in the original contract" and that the "amount involved does not exceed the amount of the ongoing project."
"Such patent disregard of the procurement laws is highly irregular," the NBI said.
It is unclear from the transmittal letter who initiated the NBI investigation.
Included in the recommendation for graft prosecution aside from Jimenez are: SBAC vice chairperson Evelyn Cajigal, Assistant Secretary Benito Bengzon, Guiller Asido of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) and Dentsu's Rommelyn Martinez and Maria Donna Nanagas.
Diversionary tactic
Jimenez said in a statement to Rappler that the complaint is apparently intended to veer public attention from the controversy hounding his successor at the DOT.
Aside from the DOT ad placement controversy, people are also questioning why Teo's husband, Roberto Teo, remains a board member of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprize Zone Authority (TIEZA), an attached agency of the DOT.
"We believe these 'charges' are meant to draw public attention away from the current controversy involving the current Department of Tourism leadership and PTV4 where nearly P60 million was allegedly spent to buy airtime in a TV program owned and produced by a preferred party," Jimenez said.
The former tourism chief said he welcomed the chance to show how the previous DOT leadership observed transparency and accountability.
"In a way, I would welcome an opportunity to dramatize the stark contrast between our devotion to transparency and accountability and the crude methods of media planning and buying that appear to be the prevailing practice today," Jimenez said. – Rappler.com

The following information is provided by the Visa Office regarding the cut-off dates for the month of August 2013.
FAMILY PREFERENCES
F1-Family first preference: Unmarried sons and daughters over the age of 21 years of U.S. Citizens. The cut-off date has moved forward by twelve (12) weeks for most of the countries including India to September 1, 2006.
F2A - Family second preference: Spouses and minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters of permanent residents. The cut-off date for this category for most countries including India is CURRENT.
F2B- Family second preference: Unmarried sons and daughters over 21 of permanent residents. The cut-off date has moved forward by four (4) weeks for most of the countries including India to December 1, 2005.
F3-Family third preference: Married sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens and their spouses and children. The cut-off date has moved forward by nine (9) weeks for most of the countries including India to December 8, 2002.
F4-Family fourth preference: Brothers and sisters of U.S. Citizens. The cut-off date has moved forward by three (4) weeks for most of the countries including India to June 22, 2001.
EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCES
EB1 - Priority Workers: The cut-off date for this category for all countries including India is CURRENT.
EB2 - Advanced Degree holders: The cut-off date for this category for most countries is CURRENT. For India, it moved forward by three (3) years and four (4) months January 1, 2008.
EB3 - Professional Skilled Workers: The cut-off date for this category has No Movement, date remains the same January 1, 2009 for most of the countries and for India, it has No Movement to January 22, 2003.
EB3 - Other Workers: The cut-off date for this category has No Movement to January 1, 2009 for most of the countries and for India, it has No Movement and the date remains the same of January 22, 2003.
EB4 (Certain Special Immigrants) is CURRENT for all countries including INDIA.
EB4 (Certain Religious Workers) is CURRENT for all countries including INDIA.
EB5 (Targeted Employment Areas/Regional Centers) and the pilot program is CURRENT for all countries including INDIA.
It is very good news that F2A category for spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 years has become CURRENT in August 2013 for all the countries. As per predictions from Department of State it is likely to remain current for the next few months. Green Card holders who get married now or who have already got married can file for the adjustment of status in the US, if physically residing in the US with valid legal status or eligible u/s 245(i) of I&N Act and otherwise eligible for the same.
With regard to the applicants born in India or eligible under the rule of cross chargeability and waiting for EB-2 visa numbers to become available, and presently physically residing in US in legal status, can submit I-485 with required documents with USCIS in August 2013, if their priority date is Jan 11, 2008 or before and otherwise eligible for Adjustment of Status including approved I-140 petition.
Those who have already filed I-485 applications under India EB-2 category previously and have been waiting for the visa numbers to become available in their case, may request USCIS to process their applications as soon as possible, since it is possible that EB-2 for India may retrogress in the coming months.
In the visa Bulletin for August 2013, the Department of State has advised that Indian Employment sponsored F2B category, has been advanced in an effort to fully utilize the numbers available under overall Employment Second Preference category annual limit. It is expected that such movement will generate significant amount of new India based demand during coming months.
With regards to the Family based F2A Category becoming CURRENT in August and expected to remain so for the next several months, this action has been taken in an effort to generate an increased level of demand. Despite the fact that there are large amounts of registered F2A demand, currently there are not enough applicants who are actively pursuing final action on their case to fully utilize all of the available numbers.
These changes for the Family F2A, and India Employment Second preference categories reflect actions which have been taken based on current applicant demand patterns. Readers should expect that some type of "corrective" action will be required at some point during FY-2014 in an effort to maintain number use within the applicable annual limits. Such action would involve the establishment and retrogression of such cut-off dates, and could occur at any time.
Applicants under these categories who have unmarried children who are now over 21 or likely to become 21 years or older, should look at the provisions of CSPA (Child Status Protection Act) under which such children may qualify as derivative applicants under CSPA.
In visa processing cases where the applicants under the above mentioned categories, are residing abroad and will be applying for Immigration visas at American Consulates, they should take into consideration whether Immigrant visa petition is still pending with USCIS or has been approved, whether their visa number is current or available and their paperwork is completed by NVC or still needs to be done.

Most people, including non-preppers, are fully aware of the vital importance of storing food for survival. However, far fewer of those people are aware of how to properly store that food.
The truth is: how you store your food is even more important than the type of food you store or how much of it you store. It doesn't really matter how much you have; if you don't store it properly, it's going to go bad and simply won't be safe to consume anymore.
With that in mind, in this article we are going to cover the top survival food storage mistakes and the solutions that you can use to avoid them. Simply by being aware of these mistakes, you can greatly amplify the chances of safely storing your food over the long term.
Never, under any circumstances, store your survival food outdoors.
Never, under any circumstances, store your survival food outdoors. It doesn't matter whether it's under a tarp, in a shed, or out in the open: exposing your food to the elements is simply a bad idea. Besides everything else, temperature fluctuations will also play a very negative role.
Sorry, but a garage technically counts as being outdoors. The temperature simply fluctuates too greatly in a garage, and this makes it an unsuitable food storage location.
The only possible exception to this rule is if you live in a place with a very mild climate with very limited fluctuations; but then again, you may not want to take the risk.
Don't use attics for food storage!
There is one indoor location that is almost never a good idea to store food in, and that's the attic. Again, the temperature fluctuations simply present too much of a risk.
A food grade bucket is very useful for storage.
Food grade buckets are so named for a reason: they are designed to keep your food secure and safe against the outside elements! The plastic and materials used in food grade buckets are fully safe for food storage, so you can ensure your stock will not be contaminated.
Just as you should eat a variety of foods right now in your everyday life, you should try to do so in a disaster as well.
In other words, you need to store far more than just beans and rice. Yes, beans and rice are undoubtedly survival staples and worth storing, but at the same time you need to store far more than just those.
TIP: when selecting what foods you want to store, remember that each adult person is going to need around 2,000 calories of food a day.
Store enough food for long-term survival.
One of the best methods of storing food is to set time frames. So, for example, rather than just storing a random amount of food, instead store enough food for certain lengths of time. This will help you understand how much food you have for specific time periods.
Last but certainly not least, you must always remember to rotate your food out as appropriate. Most food does not have an indefinite shelf life, and it's completely your responsibility to research the estimated shelf life for each type of food that you store.
