I imagine you're not using a cluster-aware file system, you're probably using something like FAT, NTFS, ext2/3/4, XFS etc. You'll need to use a cluster file system such as OCFS2, Microsoft Cluster-Services enhanced NTFS, Veritas Storage Foundation, VMFS or others. This is a very basic but all too commonly misunderstood problem for junior storage techs to run into.

You can't do this with a normal file system, as Chopper3 has pointed out. Trying to do this will quickly lead to data corruption. What you should do is either use a cluster-aware file system, or use a replication technology to synchronize two separate volumes, each presented to a single server.

Unless you forget the Sunday joint in the oven, a burning smell from any electrical appliance is something you should take very seriously. It's generally a sign that the machine is about to break down, and it could well indicate that it's in a dangerous condition. If you smell burning in or around your washing machine you need to take immediate steps.
Where is the Smell Coming From?
If the smell is clearly coming from the washing machine itself, switch it off and unplug it immediately. If the smell appears to be coming from the plug, plug socket, or wire, switch off the power to the circuit and wait for everything to cool down before unplugging.
In either event, don't use your machine until it's been assessed by a service engineer. A burning smell from this appliance is a sign that you need urgent washing machine repairs. There are a number of things your engineer will check.
1. The drive belt
A worn or damaged drive belt can slip, this causes friction which leads to the belt overheating, resulting in a very distinctive burning rubber smell, indicating that the worn belt needs to be replaced. While this task isn't especially complicated it's still best undertaken by a qualified repairman. Washing machine motors generate a lot of static and it's possible to get a very nasty shock from one even when the appliance is unplugged.
2. Drive motor pulleys
Pulleys can rust or degrade over time, and once this has happened they will generate friction when the machine is in operation. At worst a damaged pulley can seize up totally, which will put a strain on the drive belt and lead to overheating.
3. The drive motor
Like the pulleys and belts around it, the drive motor itself can overheat and cause a burning smell. Sometimes this is as a result of a primary fault in the motor, other times a fault in a belt or pulley can cause the motor to burn out. A competent engineer will generally check all of this, to determine the full extent of the work to be done before starting your washing machine repairs. Replacing one or two components is likely to be cost effective but if several parts are faulty it might be more cost-effective to replace the machine.
4. Electrical faults within the machine
Faults in the wiring or water coming into contact with the electrical components of your machine could result in an electrical burning smell from within the washing machine. Switch it off, isolate it from the power supply and call an engineer.
Reduce the risk of your washing machine developing faults
Every home appliance has a usable lifespan and sooner or later faults will develop, but there are a few things you can do to maximise the chances of getting the longest possible use from your washing machine. Attending to faults as soon as you notice them will always keep your washing machine repair bills down in the long run. A single faulty component could cause a cascade of other problems to develop, so delaying repairs may increase the work that needs to be done and the cost of doing it. Apart from this, the very best favour you can do your washer is to not overload it. Overloading puts excessive strain on the belt, the pulleys and the motor itself making their failure more likely.


Palo Alto URL Filtering Order
What happens when a URL matches multiple patterns (multiple custom URL filtering categories and allow/block-list) within a URL filtering profile?
When that happens, the category chosen is the one that has the most severe action defined below (block being most severe and allow least severe).
1. block
2. override
3. continue
4. alert
5. allow
For example, if * exists in MyAlertList and MyBlockList simultaneously) within the same URL filtering profile the URL, the action will be "block" and the category name will be "MyBlockList". This is similar to the original behavior between "allow-list" and "block-list" in that the block-list will be checked BEFORE the allow-list if a URL matches both "allow-list" and "block-list".
The priority for URL filtering is:
1. block list
2. allow list
3. custom categories
4. cached
5. pre-defined categories
Above I'm pointing out in bold red that "custom categories" have a higher priority than the "pre-defined categories". This is important to know when building out your URL Filtering profiles.

Taiwan culture in ghosts?
You may not believe it like they do, or as much as they do.
But know this, visitors to Taiwan: The Taiwanese believe in life after dead – deep in their culture.
Like most Chinese communities, your Taiwanese hosts hold a strong respect for their dead, the afterlife – and the spirits.
Do not be perturbed. As a tourist in Taiwan, are you aware of these key beliefs?
Culture shock quiz: Taiwan ghosts!?
Which of these ideas are true, as far as the Taiwanese believes?
1. Things related to dying or death are taboo, to be avoided among Taiwan folks.
2. Writing someone's name in red ink is auspicious.
3. The 7th month or Hungry Ghost festival is widely (and loudly!) celebrated among the many colourful festivals in the island.
4. Fengshui (ancient Chinese geomancy) is still practised in modern Taipei!
5. In cosmopolitan cities of Taipei and Kaohsiung (Gaoxiong), such beliefs and superstitions are hardly seen, felt or practised.
Smart traveler answers
Ideas 1, 3 and 4 are true. 2 and 5 are false!
These are the answers to the Tourist Poll in the sidebar on your right!
Smart tourist must-know
The Taiwanese has a strong belief in things spiritual and the afterlife!
Believing in the spiritual realm, respecting their dead, taking precautions to draw in good luck while warding off the bad – and even, celebrating a month-long festival relating to the spirits!
As visitors to the island, what are some aspects of these beliefs you will encounter?
Note: This may not be about your beliefs or whether you are being superstitious.
It is much about being aware of Taiwan culture you are touring; not to unwittingly encroach on beliefs and customs so different!
More smart traveler humor (for laughing only!)
Do not write a Taiwanese friend's name in red ink!
Writing Chinese names in red is a big no-no! Red ink is used for the death and the deceased.
Watch out: What other taboo stuff relating to this culture in the spirits do you avoid?
Taipei or other cities are equally thick in their beliefs!
You may see and meet more elaborate expressions of the Taiwanese beliefs in the rural, less modern areas.
Yet throughout the island – in cities or countryside – the locals and their culture in the supernatural are visible and extensive.
Dear Taiwan travelers,
Do you fear the unknown, tourists?
Now you see, a belief in the unseen is so much a part of Taiwan's religious and cultural backgrounds.
What will be other parts of this 'ghost' culture that might shock you in your touring among Taiwanese and their lifestyles?
Smarter Tourists In Taiwan our first E-Book will show you the taboos and how to tread in touring Taiwan – without apprehension!

20. Christian Headstone with Canopy
Yuan dynasty (1272—1368)
Quanzhou Maritime Museum
Ricci 20 KP 020 Z24
A canopy or parasol was used in ancient India to protect kings and other royals from the sun, and it subsequently became a symbol of power and prestige. It was natural to use a canopy in association with the Buddha as he had been a prince before attaining enlightenment. It can be seen in the early Buddhist art of India, and was transmitted to Central Asia and China where it appears, for example, at Dunhuang. A similar canopy to the one shown on this tombstone can be seen on a panel relief on the Eastern pagoda of the Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, completed about 1250.
The discovery of the canopy's presence on Christian tombstones of the Mongol period is quite remarkable, and yet explicable in the context of the multiculturalism of Quanzhou. The canopy has tassels or streamers dangling from it and protects the cross emerging from an open lotus flower.


Dating and courtship in the philippines sex dating in rock island washington
Courtship always has marriage as its direct goal...Dating, a more modern approach, begins when either the man or the woman initiates a more-than-friends relationship with the other, and then they conduct that relationship outside of any oversight or authority. Christian minister Patricia Bootsma delineates this distinction, writing that in contrast to the modern conception of dating, in "courtship, time together in groups with family or friends is encouraged, and there is oversight by and accountability to parents or mentors".Courtship is used by a number of theorists to explain gendering processes and sexual identity.Scientific research into courtship began in the 1980s after which time academic researchers started to generate theories about modern dating practices and norms.Unlike what is regularly seen in other societies, it takes a far more subdued and indirect approach.It is complex in that it involves stages, and it is considered normal for courtship to last a year or longer.

During courtship, a couple get to know each other and decide if there will be an engagement or other such agreement.In some societies, the parents or community propose potential partners, and then allow limited dating to determine whether the parties are suited.In Japan, there is a such type of courtship called Omiai, with similar practices called "Xiangqin" (相親) in the Greater China Area.The average duration of courtship varies considerably throughout the world.Furthermore, there is vast individual variation between couples.

Have Vatican archaeologists found the remains of the Apostle Paul?
Pope Benedict announced on Sunday that fragments of bone dating to the first or second century have been discovered in a tomb in the Basilica of St. Paul in Rome.
Tradition holds that Paul was martyred in Rome around A.D. 65 and that his remains are located in the Basilica.
But there was no way of knowing until the discovery of a sarcophagus in 2006.
Archaelogists drilled a tiny hole in the stone coffin and found traces of purple linen cloth and fragments of bone, which have been dated to the time of Paul's life.

Genealogy Friday: Why Family Reunions Are Dying Out
posted in: Family Reunion, Genealogy | 0
Recently, I had someone ask when we were going to have the next family reunion. I honestly answered "I don't know."
With over 500+ descendants living, we are lucky to have the same faithful group of about thirty to attend each year. We've noticed that there just is not a large interest in getting together.
That same weekend, I saw a large family group that had gathered for an extended holiday weekend. This family of 80+ individuals had gathered from not only all over the country, but some members even came from other parts of the world. On top of that, they all attended church together.
It is important to gather and celebrate being a family and our ancestors
I wondered, why they had such a wonderful turn out when other family reunions are dying out.
So why are family reunions dying out?
 1. The younger generation has no interest in getting together. Often they do not even know who the reunion is for or how they are related to this family group.
 2. The older generations are dying out and have not shared stories and memories of their family. On several lines of my family, as well as numerous other family's I've talked with, this is a common reason that family reunion has not continued.
 3. No one has an interest in stepping up and taking over the planning of the family reunion.
 4. There are too many other obligations, distractions and commitments to be met. This is especially true with families that have children involved in sports and/or the arts.
 5. Illness can often affect families so that individuals are unable to attend.
 6. Finances can affect individuals, depending on the distance of travel and other financial obligations for the reunion.
 7. No interest in family history. Sadly, this is still very common, especially with the younger generations. They have no interest in their roots or where they came from.
What are some reasons you've discovered family reunions are dying out?

What's the origin of the phrase 'Dollars to doughnuts'?
Dollars to doughnuts'Dollars to doughnuts' is one of several 'dollars to...' phrases, like 'dollars to buttons' and 'dollars to cobwebs', which date from 1884 (in G. W. Peck's Boss Book) and 1904 (in The Boston Herald) respectively. Buttons and cobwebs were presumably chosen for their obvious lack of value, but the expressions failed to catch on as they lacked the perky alliteration of 'dollars to doughnuts'.
This is, of course, an American phrase. It is occasionally spelled as 'dollars to donuts', which only emphasis its US origin as, outside the USA, a donut is most definitely a doughnut.
'Dollars to doughnuts' is a pseudo betting term, pseudo in that it didn't originate with actual betting involving doughnuts, but just as a pleasant-sounding alliterative phrase which indicated short odds - dollars are valuable but doughnuts aren't. The phrase parallels the earlier English betting expression 'a pound to a penny'.
The phrase appears to have originated in mid 19th century USA. The earliest citation I can find for it is in the newspaper The Daily Nevada State Journal, February 1876:
Whenever you hear any resident of a community attempting to decry the local paper... it's dollars to doughnuts that such a person is either mad at the editor or is owing the office for subscription or advertising.
It doesn't crop up again in print until some years later, apart from a similar citation in a March edition of the Nevada State Journal, which suggests that the (unnamed) author of those pieces either coined the term himself or appropriated some street slang that he had heard.

How to Care for Crocodile Skin Leather Goods
Crocodile goods are very famous as well as expensive. These goods are costly because of fine quality crocodile leather. Different things are made with this high-priced leather-like, shoes, bags, coats and violet etc. These things come with great responsibility because it is very easy to buy and wear them but on the other hand, very difficult to save them. Here are some ways to safe these products for a long time.
1. Avoid from the direct sun:
The leather of crocodile is very fine and also transformed in many ways. So after made it as a final product, it became finer and dry. If you put this product to direct sunlight then it becomes dry out. Heat will cause damage and also a loss of natural sheen. So avoid direct heat and put these things in a closet to keep them dry and good.

2. Keep safe from rain and water:
Some leathers are able to absorb the water but others are not. If this leather absorbs water, in that case, your product could be damaged. So, avoid unnecessary water usage on it. While washing your product use excess water. The better way is to use your thing and then put it back without washing. Use a dry cloth for rubbing the surface. Also, spray and creams are coming along with these products so use them only. The skin of crocodile is already moisture so any water can cause to damage the product.
3. Keep away from harsh chemicals:
Do not use the chemical to wash these products. Use chemicals that are written in the catalog of these leather products. Do not spray any kind of perfume on it. Especially when you are wearing a jacket, take care of it while eating.
4. Do not scratch the surface:
If you get some dirt or stain on it, do not scratch it because it causes breaks in the leather and it cannot be repaired. So only clean the main area and use conditioner and let it dry.

5. Avoid folding and pressing opposite to its real shape:
For a longer use of crocodile leather pieces, for example, if you have a leather jacket, avoid folding it tightly. Because first of all, crocodile skin is caiman skin and it has calcium stores in it that makes crocodile skin more rigid. If you start folding the skin tightly then it comes to at points where not need to be folded then it might cause damage. And the result could be more horrible like unsightly cracks or wrinkle marks.
By all means, when the client gets his custom-made crocodile skin product, he became responsible to take care of it. With the proper care of crocodile skin products, it should stay beautiful and fresh. These are always ready for use even for many years. We are sharing these general care tips and these tips are more important for the crocodile leather products. With this, you can help to extend the useful life of expensive and exotic leather goods. These tips keep the clients satisfied and coming back for more goods.


Builds message validators for ssb based on JSON-schema. Specifically designed for handling multiple different versions of a schema for a particular message type (e.g. when you add new requirements, or change the encoding of a particular field and publish a new version of the schema)
NOTE - this requires schemas which have both type and version fields.
Example Usage
Here's an example message that could validate as truthy...
 type:'reply',
 version: '1.0.0'
We inject all the relevant schemas into the validator. Any message passed will be validated based on the type and the version as determined by your schema.
var Validator = require('ssb-schema-validation')
var replySchemas = [
var isReply = Validator(replySchemas)
// => true / false
// => some errors
For a live example see e.g. ssb-dark-crystal-schema
Validator(schemas) => fn
Takes argument
 - schemas - an array of JSON-schema. These schemas must require messages to have type and version fields
Returns a function validator based on those schemas.
validator(msg, opts) => Bool
Takes arguments:
 - msg - a full ssb message, or the content field of such a message. Supporting both means you can use this validator to easily validate content either before writing to the database, or for reading from the database.
 - opts (optional) - an object of form { attachErrors: Boolean }, settings attachErrors: true mutates the original message by attaching any errors found during in validation. This option is false by default i.e. disabled.
Returns a Boolean: true/ false
Note - if the validator returns false, then details about why the message didn't pass validation can be found under validator.errors. This is reset after each message is passed in.

 Solution Summary
 A complete, neat and step-by-step solution is provided.


The Coordinate System
A paint device in Qt is a drawable 2D surface. QWidget, QPixmap, QPicture and QPrinter are all paint devices. A QPainter is an object which can draw on such devices.
The default coordinate system of a paint device has its origin at the top left corner. X increases to the right and Y increases downwards. The unit is one pixel on pixel-based devices and one point on printers.
An Example
The illustration below shows a highly magnified portion of the top left corner of a paint device.
The rectangle and the line were drawn by this code (with the grid added and colors touched up in the illustration):
 void MyWidget::paintEvent( QPaintEvent * )
 QPainter p( this );
 p.setPen( darkGray );
 p.drawRect( 1,2, 5,4 );
 p.setPen( lightGray );
 p.drawLine( 9,2, 7,7 );
Note that all of the pixels drawn by drawRect() are inside the size specified (5*4 pixels). This is different from some toolkits; in Qt the size you specify exactly encompasses the pixels drawn. This applies to all the relevant functions in QPainter.
Similarly, the drawLine() call draws both endpoints of the line, not just one.
Here are the classes that relate most closely to the coordinate system:
QPoint A single 2D point in the coordinate system. Most functions in Qt that deal with points can accept either a QPoint argument or two ints, for example QPainter::drawPoint().
QSize A single 2D vector. Internally, QPoint and QSize are the same, but a point is not the same as a size, so both classes exist. Again, most functions accept either a QSize or two ints, for example QWidget::resize().
QRect A 2D rectangle. Most functions accept either a QRect or four ints, for example QWidget::setGeometry().
QRegion An arbitrary set of points, including all the normal set operations, e.g. QRegion::intersect(), and also a less usual function to return a list of rectangles whose union is equal to the region. QRegion is used e.g. by QPainter::setClipRegion(), QWidget::repaint() and QPaintEvent::region().
QPainter The class that paints. It can paint on any device with the same code. There are differences between devices, QPrinter::newPage() is a good example, but QPainter works the same way on all devices.
QPaintDevice A device on which QPainter can paint. There are two internal devices, both pixel-based, and two external devices, QPrinter and QPicture (which records QPainter commands to a file or other QIODevice, and plays them back). Other devices can be defined.
Although Qt's default coordinate system works as described above, QPainter also supports arbitrary transformations.
This transformation engine is a three-step pipeline, closely following the model outlined in books such as Foley & Van Dam and the OpenGL Programming Guide. Refer to those for in-depth coverage; here we give just a brief overview and an example.
The first step uses the world transformation matrix. Use this matrix to orient and position your objects in your model. Qt provides methods such as QPainter::rotate(), QPainter::scale(), QPainter::translate() and so on to operate on this matrix.
QPainter::save() and QPainter::restore() save and restore this matrix. You can also use QWMatrix objects, QPainter::worldMatrix() and QPainter::setWorldMatrix() to store and use named matrices.
The second step uses the window. The window describes the view boundaries in model coordinates. The matrix positions the objects and QPainter::setWindow() positions the window, deciding what coordinates will be visible. (If you have 3D experience, the window is what's usually called projection in 3D.)
The third step uses the viewport. The viewport too, describes the view boundaries, but in device coordinates. The viewport and the windows describe the same rectangle, but in different coordinate systems.
On-screen, the default is the entire QWidget or QPixmap where you are drawing, which is usually appropriate. For printing this function is vital, since very few printers can print over the entire physical page.
So each object to be drawn is transformed into model coordinates using QPainter::worldMatrix(), then positioned on the drawing device using QPainter::window() and QPainter::viewport().
It is perfectly possible to do without one or two of the stages. If, for example, your goal is to draw something scaled, then just using QPainter::scale() makes perfect sense. If your goal is to use a fixed-size coordinate system, QPainter::setWindow() is ideal. And so on.
Here is a short example that uses all three mechanisms: the function that draws the clock face in the aclock/aclock.cpp example. We recommend compiling and running the example before you read any further. In particular, try resizing the window to different sizes.
 void AnalogClock::drawClock( QPainter *paint )
Firstly, we save the painter's state, so that the calling function is guaranteed not to be disturbed by the transformations we're going to use.
 paint->setWindow( -500,-500, 1000,1000 );
We set the model coordinate system we want a 1000*1000 window where 0,0 is in the middle.
 QRect v = paint->viewport();
 int d = QMIN( v.width(), v.height() );
The device may not be square and we want the clock to be, so we find its current viewport and compute its shortest side.
 paint->setViewport( v.left() + (v.width()-d)/2,
 v.top() + (v.height()-d)/2, d, d );
Then we set a new square viewport, centered in the old one.
We're now done with our view. From this point on, when we draw in a 1000*1000 area around 0,0, what we draw will show up in the largest possible square that'll fit in the output device.
Time to start drawing.
 QPointArray pts;
pts is just a temporary variable to hold some points.
Next come three drawing blocks, one for the hour hand, one for the minute hand and finally one for the clock face itself. First we draw the hour hand:
 paint->rotate( 30*(time.hour()%12-3) + time.minute()/2 );
We save the painter and then rotate it so that one axis points along the hour hand.
 pts.setPoints( 4, -20,0, 0,-20, 300,0, 0,20 );
 paint->drawConvexPolygon( pts );
We set pts to a four-point polygon that looks like the hour hand at three o'clock, and draw it. Because of the rotation, it's drawn pointed in the right direction.
We restore the saved painter, undoing the rotation. We could also call rotate( -30 ) but that might introduce rounding errors, so it's better to use save() and restore(). Next, the minute hand, drawn almost the same way:
 paint->rotate( (time.minute()-15)*6 );
 pts.setPoints( 4, -10,0, 0,-10, 400,0, 0,10 );
 paint->drawConvexPolygon( pts );
The only differences are how the rotation angle is computed and the shape of the polygon.
The last part to be drawn is the clock face itself.
 paint->drawLine( 440,0, 460,0 );
 paint->rotate( 30 );
Twelve short hour lines at thirty-degree intervals. At the end of that, the painter is rotated in a way which isn't very useful, but we're done with painting so that doesn't matter.
The final line of the function restores the painter, so that the caller won't be affected by all the transformations we've done.

Druzy gemstone meaning
Druzy occurs as thousands of tiny shimmering crystal points blanket the surface of a gemstone. This appearance of star dust creates a magical stunning effect. When titanium treated for enduring quality Druzy is called Flame Aura. It attracts and enhances the attributes of the gemstone that is its host or that it is paired with.
- Amplifies the intensity of the stones it inhabits
- Supplies strength and energy
- Encourages clarity of mind
- In meditation it stimulates the movement of the Kundalini to the crown chakra
- Druzy is used for balancing all chakras


📤 Drawer View is a custom UI component replication of Apple's Apple Music player and Shortcuts components view (also can be seen in Maps app).
drawer-view is availabe via CocoaPods
pod 'drawer-view', '~> 1.0.1'
You can always use copy-paste the sources method 😄. Or you can compile the framework and include it with your project.
📺 Demo
Please wait while the.gif files are loading... (they are about 25Mb)
🍱 Features
 - Easy to use
 - You only need to instantiate a class called DrawerView and add your UI components.
 - Flexible API
 - Includes a number of customization points that allows to decorate the DrawerView as you'd like.
 - Callbacks
 - You can use built-in callbacks in order to integrate animations or get the state changes.
 - Behavior
 - You may tell the component to close the drawer when the device is rotated or user interacts with the child components.
 - Autolayout
 - You don't need to do anything related to autolayout - the component properly handles all the changes. The only thing you need to do is to add your UI components and make sure that aulayout constraints are properly setup for them.
📚 Code Samples
The most simple instantiation: you only need to provide the superview:
let _ = DrawerView(superView: view)
You can specify how much space will be between top anchor of the DrawerView and the superview by setting topLayoutGuidePadding property and how tall the DrawerView will be when it is closed by setting closedHeight property:
let _ = DrawerView(topLayoutGuidePadding: 100, closedHeight: 82, superView: view)
You can specify blur effect and its type. It will be animated alongside with the drawer view. There are several styles for blur:
let _ = DrawerView(blurStyle:.light, superView: view)
By default the DrawerView will include a visual indicator called LineArrow. LineArrow is an indicator that decorates the view and helps a user with interaction. You can change the properties of the indicator by setting its height, width and color:
let _ = DrawerView(lineArrow: (height: 8, width: 82, color:.black), superView: view)
// Or you can set 'nil' in order to turn the indicator off
You can change the behavior of the component when a device is rotated. By default the DrawerView will not be closed when a device is rotated. However, you can change this behavior:
drawerView.closeOnRotation = true
You can programmatically change the state of the component:
drawerView.change(state:.open, shouldAnimate: true)
By default, interactions with the child views don't affect the DrawerView anyhow. However, you can change this behavior and allow the DrawerView to be dismissed when one of the child views are interacted:
drawerView.closeOnChildViewTaps = true
There is an animation closure that is used to animate the external components alongside with the DrawerView:
drawerView.animationClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 someOtherView.alpha = 1.0
 case.closed:
 someOtherView.alpha = 0.0
You can optionally specify a completion closure that gets called when animation is completed:
drawerView.completionClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 case.closed:
The third and final callback closure can be used to get DrawerViewstate changes:
drawerView.onStateChangeClosure = { state in
 state ==.closed? showDialog() : doNothing()
Also there are many other properties that be customized:
drawerView.cornerRadius = 60
drawerView.animationDuration = 2.5
drawerView.animationDampingRatio = 0.9
drawerView.shadowRadius = 0.25
drawerView.shadowOpacity = 0.132


Fly the Vegan Skies
airline vegan meal
A vegan airline meal
Vegan options are showing up in a wide variety of places these days, from prisons to hospitals to public schools. Now a new initiative by the Vegan Society and Humane Society International seeks to make sure airlines have vegan meals available in commercial airliners.
While air travel is blamed for significant greenhouse gas emissions, meat is actually much worse. It's also a culprit in other environmental problems. "A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use," said Joseph Poore, at Oxford University, England. "It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car."
Airlines serve an estimated one billion inflight meals every year, so actively encouraging passengers to choose plant-based options could help reduce the industry's carbon emissions, while at the same addressing a number of other environmental problems caused by meat and other animal-derived foods.
If you fly long distance, be sure to order a vegan meal when you book your flight. While you're waiting for your flight at Seatac airport, why not check out the new restaurant "Floret" by Café Flora? The sister restaurant of our much beloved vegetarian restaurant Café Flora offers both sit down and grab-and-go food.

The practice of eating clay for gastrointestinal ailments and applying clay topically as bandaids for skin infections is as old as mankind. Bentonites in particular have been used in traditional medicines, where their function has been established empirically. With modern techniques for nanoscale investigations, we are now exploring the interactions of clay minerals and human pathogens to learn the lessons that Mother Nature has used for healing. The vast surface area and chemical variability of hydrothermally altered bentonites may provide a natural pharmacy of antibacterial agents.

In this post, we look at the functions of the kinship system in Nigeria culture. Kinship is a social relationship that defines who we are and where we are from. Kinship, being a cultural artifact can actually shape the way people do things, the way peoeple think, the way people believe things. In fact, I believe, since it is something created by man in reference to one's culture and history, is more or less, cultural heritage of a people.
Functions Of Kinship System In Nigeria Culture:
So many functions have been seen carried out within the kinship system in Nigeria. Since kinship is owned by almost every society, some of its functions, as I will be discussing in this article will seems familiar, while others will not, nonetheless, we are going to look at quite a number of the functions of kinship system in Nigeria in this article, and here are there;
* Kinship Defines Acceptable Role Of Engagement:
In every society, there is acceptable role of engagement, and such role of engagement is made possible by kinship. Besides this however, there is also role of relationship between and among members of a family. You look at the parents – children relationship, relationship between father and son, relationship between father and daughter, relationship between mother and daughter, relationship between mother and son, and so on and so forth. So it is kinship that bring about proper way of relating with one another within a family. Apart from defining proper role relationship within a family, kinship also guides or provides guidelines for persons to interact among themselves and/or between themselves.
* Kinship Determines Relationship Lines:
Relationship line in every family, I think is necessary, and this is the function of kinship system in Nigeria, where family line relationship is determined accordingly. In a family, a relationship could be a distance one or a close relationship, depending on the family in question. Therefore, the kinship system in Nigeria can work in a way that can determined what relationship family relationship lines are.
* Kinship Decides Who To And Who Not To Marry:
This is another function of kinship system in Nigeria, it draws a path and guide you on how to go through the path. For instance, it is the kinship that will determine who you should marry and who you should not marry, where to marry and where you should not marry. Once there is order that you cannot marry there, and that, relationship there, maritally is taboo, you have no choice. So it is the kinship system that decides.
* Kinship Influences Religious Practices:
Kinship in a sense, do influenced people's religious practices. What is expected from every member of a religious sect for example, is defined by kinship system, including the determination of the rights of the people, and obligations of these people, who belonged to, or indulged in religious practices and that of sacraments, which actually begins from the point, where someone is born and through a point where this person is deat
* Kinship Maintains Relationships:
Another function of the kinship system in Nigeria is to ensure that there is maintenance of solidarity of relationships. Such solidarity of relationship is mostly enjoyed among members of the family, the father, the mother, children and any other member of the family
* Determines Obligations And The Rights Of Family:
Kinship system in Nigeria also determined the obligations, the rights of the family. This is can be seen in tribal and rural societies. Kinship relation also determined the obligations and the rights of political power, the rights of marriage, as well as determined the obligations and the rights of system production, and this happened within a family.
* Kinship Regulates Beheviour Of Kin:
Kinship system in Nigeria functions in a number of ways, particularly, in tribal societies, when used in different ways. One of the functions of the kin system, when used in different ways is that, it will regulatates behaviours of different kin. So through the many usages of the kinship, there is that possibility of regulating the behaviour of every kin.
* Kinship Helps In Designating Kin Of Various Types:
Kinship is known for helping in the process of classification of different types of kin_and this happened as the result of some terms within the kinship system, and through such terms, the designation and the description of different types of kin is made possible.
* Kinship Creates Groupings Of Kin:
Another function of the kinship system in Nigeria is that, by the virtue of different ways of using kinship, groupings of kin can be created. Therefore, the creation of special groupings of kin happened through the usage of kinship.
* Kinship Governs Role Relationship:
In kinship, there are some rules, and these kinship rules have a way of affecting or mpacting on the role of relationships within the family. Among various kins, there would be this rule of kinship that will governs the relationship role, as related to the family.
* Kinship Regulates Social Life:
There are so many functions of the kinship system in Nigeria, and one of such functions is that of acting as the social life regulator. Social life is regulated in almost every society, and what made it possible for social life regulations is kinship system.
* Kinship Influences Production System:
System of production can be influenced through kinship system. Apart from influencing production system, kinship system goes as far as influencing other aspects of kinship within the family, such aspects of kinship include, land ownership within the family, as well as the concept of wealth and their various usages.
Kinship has several importance in a social structure. Kinship decides who you can marry and who you cannot marry, possibly, where marital relationships are taboo. It also determines rights and obligations of every member in every religious practices within the society from when someone is born and up to the point he is dead. The important of kinship system in Nigeria cannot be underestimated, and the important of kinship system can be seen within the family functions and at the event of marriage. It is also good to note the kinship system haa a way of determining family line.

Deeper Darkness
School evocation [darkness]; Level cleric 3
Duration 10 min./level (D)
This spell functions as darkness, except that objects radiate darkness in a 60-foot radius and the light level is lowered by two steps. Bright light becomes dim light and normal light becomes darkness. Areas of dim light and darkness become supernaturally dark. This functions like darkness, but even creatures with darkvision cannot see within the spell's confines.
This spell does not stack with itself. Deeper darkness can be used to counter or dispel any light spell of equal or lower spell level.


Well, it sucks but it's true. There's a bunch of noise on the Internet about how to do unique constraints in Google App Engine, but it seems like these are the only two safe ways. The thing to remember is, the only uniqueness that GAE will guarantee is on key names.
Approach #1: Make the unique field be the key name
As long as you promise to yourself that you'll never need to change the value, then you should make the unique field be the "key name" in the table. Then you can call db.Model.get_or_insert(key_name) to either retrieve an existing one or create a new one. Too bad in the real world, it's really hard to find something like this. Email addresses never change? Let me check my hotmail account. Social security numbers never change? Well, unless there was a typo. Every time I think I found a unique field that can never change, I'm proven wrong. So you'll never catch me doing this. But YMMV.
Approach #2: Create a separate table to track all used ids
This is pretty slick -- I found it in this article: Add a Unique Constraint to Google App Engine. The approach is to create a new table called Unique, and make the "key name" of each row in Unique be a combination of the name of the table and the unique field value. The downside is that you have extra storage overhead: a new table with the list of unique fields, plus the default indices that GAE makes for it. This is fairly analogous to declaring a unique index in SQL databases, since a unique SQL index is merely a persisted list of unique fields. There's just less overhead in a SQL database implementation because it's only one list, whereas in GAE this user-generated unique index is really one list (for the table) plus the default indices GAE makes for any entity.
I must say that Google is aware of this issue. It looks like they'd have to make some major architectural changes to implement this. My guess is if they ever fix this, they'll sneak in approach #2, above their BigTable support and below the API that us users use.

Alternate Wetting and Drying: AWD
Alternate Wetting and Drying is an irrigation method that helps save water and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in rice production.
Typically, rice is produced in constant flooded conditions. Saturated soils tend to produce methane through natural processes. By carefully managing irrigation water and allowing soils to temporarily oxygenate throughout the growing season, a process known as Alternate Wetting and Drying, this natural methane production process can be minimized. Our previous investments in technologies like Zero Grade make it possible for us to manage this technique on some portion of our farm.

If you travel enough in Connecticut, you'll soon discover a plethora of brownstone buildings. Most of that brownstone came from quarries in Portland. First dug in the late 17th centuries, the quarries were increasingly used in the 19th century. Stone was shipped as far as Boston and New York - quite a distance for a fragile material. Production reached its peak in the late 1880s with over 1500 people working the property. By the early 1900s, brownstone was losing ground to concrete. The 1938 flood filled the quarries and ended production in Portland.
If you have a Polish or Italian ancestor who lived in the Middletown area, consider learning about the quarries. Many immigrants were recruited because of their stone carving skill and made a respectable living onsite. Their desire for community built many of the institutions in Portland and Middletown. A detailed history of the quarry is available at _URL_ The website wasn't functionally well for me, but the detail made it worth the wait.


Compare Rufus and his dad. Is Rufus an improvement over his father? How is Dana's influence evident on the adult Rufus?
Expert Answers
An illustration of the letter 'A' in a speech bubbles
In Octavia Butler's historical time-travel novel Kindred, the two characters Rufus Weylin, and his father Tom Weylin, are white slave owners in the antebellum South. The protagonist, Dana, a black woman from the 1970s, is summoned back in time to the Weylin plantation in order to save Rufus' life multiple times. Rufus will then go on to impregnate Alice, whose child will be the next step in Dana's bloodline.
Dana is called back to save Rufus numerous times over the course of his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and as she gets to know him and forms a relationship with him, she tries very hard to impart on him a sense of morality and equity. While there are glimpses of Dana's influence on him, Rufus is steeped in the social mores of his time and goes long periods without seeing or interacting with her. He ends up taking on not just the responsibilities of his father as owner of the plantation and its slaves, but also many of the learned racist customs of slave culture. By the end of...

How To Prepare A Pressure Cooker To Bake Cake
khao's picture
Have you ever tasted a pressure cooker cake? It tastes as amazing as an oven baked cake; the only difference is that you have to prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake instead of an oven.
The pressure cooker creates pressure and heat from the steam is built in it. By cooking in pressure cooker one not only gets tasty food to eat but also saves on cooking time.
However, there are two ways to bake a cake in pressure cooker; sand way and the water way.
It is up to you, the method you want your cake to be baked as cake made by both these methods are soft and delicious.
The most important part in baking cake in a pressure cooker is to first prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake. So, here is what you need to do:
 - Take a pressure cooker, big enough to contain the baking pan.
 - Wash it firmly with soap solution. The cooker should be free of odor before a cake is baked or else it may spoil the cake's taste.
 - Wipe it with a clean towel.
 - Now, remove the whistle of the pressure cooker. We do not make use of the whistle while baking cake. The vent is let open so that the steam can disperse.
 - If you want to bake cake with sand method, put some sand on the cooker's base not more than an inch. This method is recommended if you do not have a baking stand to keep the baking pan. This helps the baking pan by not letting it touch the surface of pressure cooker.
 - If you have a baking stand for baking pan, follow the water method for baking. Pour water in the pressure cooker, at least one and half inch up from the bottom. Now keep the baking stand in the cooker.
 - Place the baking pan filled with the cake batter on the sand or the baking stand, depending on your method.
 - Put the lid of pressure cooker, without the whistle and let the pressure cooker hear for 45 minutes on low flame.
The cake will be ready; you can check it by putting a toothpick or a knife.

Purpose: In vivo studies have suggested that motor exercise can improve muscle regeneration after injury. Nevertheless, preclinical investigations still lack reliable tools to monitor motor performance over time and to deliver optimal training protocols to maximize force recovery. Here, we evaluated the utility of a murine robotic platform (i) to detect early impairment and longitudinal recovery after acute skeletal muscle injury and (ii) to administer varying intensity training protocols to enhance forelimb motor performance.
Methods: A custom-designed robotic platform was used to train mice to perform a forelimb retraction task. After an acute injury to bilateral biceps brachii muscles, animals performed a daily training protocol in the platform at high (HL) or low (LL) loading levels over the course of 3 wk. Control animals were not trained (NT). Motor performance was assessed by quantifying force, time, submovement count, and number of movement attempts to accomplish the task. Myofiber number and cross-sectional area at the injury site were quantified histologically.
Results: Two days after injury, significant differences in the time, submovement count, number of movement attempts, and exerted force were observed in all mice, as compared with baseline values. Interestingly, the recovery time of muscle force production differed significantly between intervention groups, with HL group showing a significantly accelerated recovery. Three weeks after injury, all groups showed motor performance comparable with baseline values. Accordingly, there were no differences in the number of myofibers or average cross-sectional area among groups after 3 wk.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate the utility of our custom-designed robotic device for the quantitative assessment of skeletal muscle function in preclinical murine studies. Moreover, we demonstrate that this device may be used to apply varying levels of resistance longitudinally as a means manipulate physiological muscle responses.


health and medicine question #151
Joan & Colleen, a 11 year old female from the Internet asks on March 16, 2000,
Are cats leftor right-pawed? What percentage are left pawed/right pawed? We are doing some research on this subject for a science fair project and would like to know your results.

Barry Shell answered on March 16, 2000, A:
Cats do have a preference. Here's something I found about doing an experiment to determine which paw a cat prefers.
This is a good research question. Scientists have found that some animals really do have a preference for one hand over the other. Like humans, monkeys, apes, mice, and gerbils all have preferences for one hand. Even some fish seem to prefer a particular fin for certain behaviors. Here's how you might test your hypothesis: Cats often reach for an object that is placed just a bit in front of them. You can use this natural behavior to study whether cats tend to reach more often with their left or right paws. Try placing a stuffed mouse or catnip toy just out of reach of the cat. To make the cat reach at the toy, try slowly pulling the toy away from the cat just a bit. Cats love this! Next, record whether the cat reached with his left or right paw. Repeat this as many times as the cat will tolerate your teasing! You should try to get the cat to reach about 20-30 times so that you can accurately determine whether he has a preference.
You should try to test as many cats as you can. That way, you'll be able to begin to see whether cats as a group have a general tendency toward preferring right or left paws. Posted By: Lori Holt, Graduate (Ph.D.) Student, Psychology, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin Date: Thu Sep 11, 1997
From Cats International website: Out of every 100 cats approximately 40 are left-pawed, 20 are right-pawed, and 40 are ambidextrous. These findings contrast strikingly with the human situation where only 10 individuals are left-handed for every 90 who are right-handed.

What is the meaning of the 'the water-wraith was shrieking' in "Lord Ullin's Daughter"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
This quote is part of a general description of the storm that is raging over the water which characterises how dangerous it was to go out on the ferry boat and to leave the safety of land. In this stanza, one of the key features is the way that the storm is personified, and this is certainly something that describing it as being the result of a "water-wraith" helps achieve:
By this the storm grew loud apace,
The water-wraith was shrieking;
And in the scowl of heaven each face
Grew dark as they were speaking.
Note how heaven is given a "scowl" as it is imagined as some kind of angry person, paralleling in fact the anger of Lord Ullin at his daughter's elopement. The "water-wraith" helps convey the violence of the storm and its impact on the water, because not only does it help imagine a supernatural being causing the turmoil but it also conveys the intensity of the tempest through the picture of this water-wraith "shrieking," with the use of onomatopoeia here enacting the sound of the water as it is churned and whipped by the elements. What is key is that even though the storm is described to be so ferocious and so intense, Lord Ullin's daughter would gladly face that than the anger of her father.

I am a bit confused about approaching this problem,
Let $g(x)$ be a function such that $g(x + 1) + g(x − 1) = g(x)$ for every real $x$. Then for what value of p is the relation $g(x + p) = g(x)$ necessarily true for every real $x$?
The four options given are $5,3,2 \text{ and } 6$.Please explain your answer.
share|improve this question
This cannot be difficult - there are only a small number of cases to try. Hint: rewrite $g(x + 1) + g(x − 1) = g(x)$ as $g(x + 1) = g(x) - g(x − 1)$ and use it to express $g(x+r)$ in terms of $g(x)$ and $g(x-1)$. – Mark Bennet Jun 27 '11 at 6:20
It would be nice if $0$ were a choice... – Ross Millikan Jun 27 '11 at 13:35

Note that $$g(x+1) = g(x)-g(x-1)$$ for all $x$.
So $g(x+2) = g((x+1)+1) = g(x+1)-g(x) = g(x)-g(x-1)-g(x) = -g(x-1)$. Replacing $x$ with $x+1$ we get $g(x+3)=-g(x)$ for all $x$.
So $g(x+6) = -g(x+3) = -(-(g(x))) = g(x)$. So the answer is $6$.
(We already had that $2$ does not work; if you want to see why $5$ doesn't work, we have $g(x+5) = -g(x+2) = -(-g(x-1)) = g(x-1)$).

15.10 - Optimized Method of Maintaining a Join Index During UPDATE Operations - Teradata Database
Teradata Database SQL Request and Transaction Processing
Teradata Database
Programming Reference
User Guide
Optimizations have been made for UPDATE requests that allow the affected join index rows to be located via direct access. For example, if an UPDATE request specifies a search condition on the primary or secondary of a join index, the affected join index rows are not reproduced. Instead, the join index may be directly searched for the qualifying rows and modified accordingly.
To use this optimized method (that is, the direct update approach), the following conditions must be present:
 - A primary or secondary access path to the join index.
 - If join_index_column_2 is defined, no modifications to join_index_column_1 columns.
 - No modifications to the join condition columns appearing in the join index definition.
 - No modifications to the primary index columns of the join index.
 - The following is an example of an optimized method for maintaining join index during an UPDATE request.
 UPDATE lineitem
 SET l_quantity=l_quantity - 5
 WHERE l_orderkey=10;
 *** Help information returned. 11 rows.
 *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.
 1) First, we execute the following steps in parallel.
 1) We do a single-AMP UPDATE from join index table
 df2.OrderJoinLine by way of the primary index
 "df2.OrderJoinLine.l_orderkey = 10" with a residual
 condition of ("df2.OrderJoinLine.l_orderkey = 10").
 2) We do a single-AMP UPDATE from df2.lineitem by way of the
 primary index "df2.lineitem.l_orderkey = 10" with no
 residual conditions.
 2) Finally, we send out an END TRANSACTION step to all AMPs involved
 in processing the request.


Don't Wipe That Sweat Off Your Brow and You'll Cool Down Faster
As the temperatures get higher, a lot of us are starting to sweat more often. But, unless you're drenched, you're better off not wiping it off your head, since it can cool you off faster.
Brian Palmer over at Slate explains the science:
Don't wipe unless you're drenched. Sweat releases heat by evaporative cooling. As each gram of sweat transitions from liquid to gas phase, it absorbs 2,427 joules of energy from the body and dissipates the heat into the environment. But if you wipe away the perspiration before it evaporates, that process will get cut short, and you'll need to sweat more just to achieve the same degree of cooling. On the other hand, any sweat that drips to the ground before it can evaporate won't do you any good, so if you're really soaked you may as well reach for the towel.
So the next time you go to mop your brow, think twice—if you're really serious about cooling off, you may want to leave those sweat beads to evaporate on their own. Of course, you can always speed up the process by knowing your body's quick cooling spots, too.

In the knock-out process, as well as in the preliminary phase of moulding sand reclamation, the issue of energy demand for the process of crushing used sand agglutinations, preferably to single grains, is particularly important. At present, numerical values of moulding sand impact resistance, which would allow energy-related aspects of this process to be forecast, are not known, as such research has not been carried out. It seems that impact resistance tested on very small cross-section samples, which allows us to very precisely reveal some unique features of a moulding sand with organic and inorganic binders, is an important parameter, which so far has not been taken into account for evaluation of mechanical properties of moulding sands. Preliminary attempts to determine impact resistance of moulding sands have been carried out as part of own research of the author. The conducted investigations aimed at determining the relationships between the obtained values of tensile strength and impact resistance of moulding sands. In addition, the effect of holding samples at temperatures of 100oC, 200oC, 300oC on the value of impact resistance was determined, both for sands made with fresh and with reclaimed sand grains.

Deep Dive Into OutSystems Plugins
Stuart Harris - 07/11/2019
This is Part II of a three part blog series on OutSystems development and how to create plugins. You can read Part I here.
As mentioned in my previous post, OutSystems allows users to create open source plugins and publish them to a community component registry called the forge. For Part Two, I'm explaining the creation of a FilePondUpload user interface forge plugin for Web Applications.
This is relevant to those interested in building a user interface forge component for an OutSystems web application. We'll cover configuration, integrating a JavaScript library, some sneaky tricks and cleaning up temporary files.
The FilePondUpload plugin exposes two webblocks providing drag and drop file upload, with the actions, entities and structures to support them. The plugin essentially integrates with OutSystems the FilePond JavaScript library by Rik Schennink.
When included on a page, to use the FilePondUpload control is straight forward. The upload process goes like this:
 - Either click browse or drag file/s onto the page.
 - The file/s will upload, show progress and if configured, will show a thumbnail if the file is an image.
 - The user clicks submit on the form to save their data.
 - On the server, the uploaded file/s are available to store.
Using the Control in Development
At development time, the developer drops the FileUpload webblock onto the page. It requires a text input control and configuration.
The webblock has a placeholder area which expects a text input control associated with a text variable. The webblock makes this input box hidden. The input box is used to pass the list of uploaded file identifiers to the server when the user submits the form.
The developer also passes a FilePondUploadConfig structure to configure the webblock. When the page is first displayed, the upload library is configured and initialized. The upload control is then displayed.
Then when the form is submitted, the developer must call FilePondUpload_GetUploadedFiles(UploadTokens) to retrieve the uploaded files.
The AutoUpload webblock is even easier. It just has an event that returns a file whenever one is uploaded.
This is a very quick and easy way to get multiple file upload to work in your OutSystems application.
Getting Started
Before even starting, make sure you search the forge for a similar plugin. If you find one that does not quite meet your needs, know that you can request to join the dev team for the plugin.
A forge component is an OutSystems application, so the first step is to create an application. This requires a bit of thought, ask yourself, when developers use your plugin, what dependencies will your plugin bring into their environment? What UI framework will they be using? Silk UI or the newer OutSystems UI?
For a component for (non-react) web apps, choose Traditional Web Application for OutSystem UI or Website for Silk UI. If you can, make your plugin independent of the UI framework. This way developers using either framework can use the plugin.
The FilePondUpload plugin it does not depend on either OutSystems UI or Silk UI. So I chose Traditional Web, but Website would have been ok too.
You are able to upload a logo for your plugin here, but you can also do this later.
Next, create a module. As FilePondUpload does not depend on a framework, I chose Blank.
Now we have an application and an empty module for the plugin.
Create a HTML Test Harness
Before diving head-on into OutSystems, it is a good idea to first check that the library you intend to use works.
For this plugin I created a simple HTML page with a form. For other libraries I create whatever mark-up is needed to exercise the JavaScript library. Then I manually included all the JavaScript and CSS files. At this point you can directly reference the online copies of the files, but I like to download them and keep a note of which versions I am using. Then write any JavaScript you require to initialize, configure and work with the library.
Remember to check all the browsers that you expect your component will need to support. This practice has saved me many hours, potentially days of frustration.
The UploadBlock Webblock
The UploadBlock webblock as four components:
 - a placeholder for the input text box,
 - a container to hold the file upload control,
 - a static image to show what the upload control looks like (only displayed at development time), and
 - webblocks which load the CSS and Javascript for the control.
The configuration JavaScript locates the input text control for file tokens using the HiddenUploadContainer's HTML id. The UploadContainer is where the FilePond upload control will be created.
The static image is displayed at development time, by putting it in the True fork of an If statement that is hardcoded to the value False. This static image is never displayed at runtime, but only to developer using the control. It's a handy technique.
The webblocks at the bottom ensure CSS and JavaScript required by the control are loaded.
Integrating the Library
In order for the configure function to do its work, all the minified JavaScript for the FilePond control must be inserted on the page.
The FilePondUploadJS webblock contains the FilePond library JavaScript in it's JavaScript attribute. The FilePondUploadCSS webblock contains the FilePond library CSS in its Style Sheet attribute. These webblocks have no user interface, but by placing these webblock on the page, their JavaScript and CSS will be available on the page.
The FilePondConfigureJS webblock contains configuration JavaScript in an Expression with Escape Content = No set. This webblock simply calls the configure function.
You could put all the files in the one webblock. I have only separated them so I can reuse the same JavaScript and CSS in another webblock.
So how does the FilePondUpload plugin work? The JavaScript library must be initialized and configured, then it must call an endpoint on the server, store the uploaded files, and provide an action to retrieve the uploaded files later. Additionally, files that are never retrieved must be removed from the system, when the user does not click submit for instance.
There are a few common tricks to make the configuration work. First, to pass configuration to the library, the configuration structure is converted to JSON using JSONSerialize and passed to a custom configuration function. The FilePondIdOptions_ToJSON() and FilePondConfig_ToJSON() actions handle the serialization. These functions just use the standard OutSystems JSON serialization widget to serialize configuration structures.
The configuration function is loaded on the page via the JavaScript in the FilePondUploadJS webblock.
The configure function accepts JavaScript objects, then initializes and configures the FilePond control. This function is exposed on a JavaScript variable called FilePondUpload. The rest of the configuration functionality happens within a JavaScript "closure".
Notice how the configure function is the only function exposed by the closure. If you need to expose more functions, just add them to the object returned at the bottom.
Notice also that the configure function sets up all the watches and call-backs necessary. This is important but can be subtle. Apart from initialization, try to write JavaScript that references the webblock, rather than trying to make the webblock call functions in the plugin. This helps decouple the webblock from the JavaScript.
When the File Reaches the Server
For each file dragged on, a file upload is triggered. The FilePond upload library takes care of this, as well as the display of upload progress.
The FilePond library is configured to upload the file to the /FilePondUpload/Upload.aspx web page. This web page is restricted to only registered users, meaning only logged in users can upload files.
When a file is uploaded, the Upload.aspx page's preparation action runs which retrieves the file using HTTPHandler.GetRequestFiles() and temporarily stores it in the UploadedFile entity. The session id is retrieved using the HTTPRequestHandler.GetSessionId() action and stored with the file. This will be used to ensure the uploaded file is only available to the user who uploaded it. Lastly a unique text identifier, or token, is generated, assigned and stored with the file.
Sneaky text/plain Trick
The FilePond library sent a HTTP POST to the Upload.aspx page, and expects a simple text response, which is an identifier for the uploaded file. However, OutSystems will normally return a whole web page. So here is what we do. By using a Download widget in the Preparation, setting the Mime-Type to "text/plain" the web page will return a text response rather than the HTML of the web page. We then use the BinaryData API to convert the file's text identifier to UTF-8 and pass it as binary data.
As there may be multiple file uploads, multiple text tokens may be appended to the hidden input box.
When the user clicks the submit button for the form, the text tokens stored in the value of the hidden input box is sent along with any other form data. The text tokens can then be used to retrieve the uploaded files, via the service side action FilePondUpload_GetUploadedFiles(UploadTokens).
And voila, you have the uploaded files to do with as you wish!
Auto Upload
So that's great, but the user still has to click on a button to submit the form, even though the file is already being held in temporary storage on the server.
This is why the plugin has a second file upload webblocks; AutoUpload.
The AutoUpload block will make the uploaded files available as soon as they have been uploaded. This block

Definition of:Microdrive
An ultra-miniature hard disk from Hitachi Global Systems. The Microdrive was introduced by IBM in 1998 and acquired by Hitachi in 2002. It contains a single disk platter the size of an American quarter that holds up to 8GB. Using one or two GMR heads, the entire mechanism is built into a Type II CompactFlash form factor.
Size Matters
The tiny elements inside such a small drive offer an advantage. Because the actuator has 50 times less inertia than one used in a larger drive, it can ramp up to full speed in half a second. As a result, the drive can stop spinning when data are not being accessed, which conserves power in handheld devices. See actuator and CompactFlash.
The Microdrive
A marvel of electromechanical technology, the Microdrive platter stops rotating to conserve power and can ramp up to full speed in half a second.

Ek mukhi Rudraksha : One face Rudraksh
Ek mukhi Rudraksha is the resemblance of Lord Shiva. It is Diamond in Rudrakshas. It makes us Kings. But, What makes it so Powerful? Is it allowed to wear on body? How to get benefits from Ek mukhi Rudraksha? Let us discuss about Ek mukhi.
What is Ekmukhi Rudraksha?
Ek mukhi (Eka mukhi / One Mukhi Rudraksha) is a Wonder of Nature. Normally Rudraksha beads will have 5 lines (Mukhi) on them. They resemble 5 compartments of Rudraksha nut. Each compartment contains a seed in it. But, Ek mukhi will have only one seed!
What is the shape of Ekmukhi?
Normal Ek mukhi is Half-moon shaped or Cashew-nut (Kaju dana) shaped. Not agreeing with me? Ha, Ha! What I told is NORMAL. Round Ek mukhi are present. But, they are very very rare. The reason is Rudraksha nut can't retain it's roundness with one compartment. Not only Ek mukhi, but many Two mukhi and Three mukhi Rudrakshas are not completely Round. They will turn some what oval vertically. Also note: As the lines (Mukhi) of Rudraksha increase, the bead gradually flattens.
Roundness increases the Power. But, Ek mukhi is always Ek mukhi.
Why One Face Rudraksha is so Powerful?
Nobody knows! But we can prove the superiority of One Face Rudraksha with a Rudraksha test. Milk will not spoil for 5 days if Ek mukhi is placed in it. The reason may be in the Astral body of this Rudraksha.
Is Eka mukhi allowed to wear on body?
This is an important question. Yes. Allowed! But, remember Ek mukhi Rudraksha is directly Lord Shiva himself (Sakshat Shiva swarupa). We have to behave as if we are in the Paradise of Shiva (Kailasa). No exceptions.
Like all Rudraksha Ek mukhi is also not allowed to wear while taking Alcohol, While participating in sex, and in Menstrual period. Keep it beside while taking bath to protect from water.
Children bellow 12 years can't bear the Power of Ek mukhi. For normal people, it is better to worship Ek mukhi Rudraksha rather than wearing it on the body.
How to get benefits from Eka mukhi Rudraksha?
This is a very big question. Ek mukhi Rudrksha passes the Power of Lord Shiva to the person wearing it. It burns all the Sins made by the person (Brahma hatya dosha haram). It protects him from accidents (Akala Mrityu haram). It gives a sudden rise in the career (Akasmat Dhana prapti dayakam). The person rules the world (Shiva Shakti pradayakam). If he wishes he will attain Mukti (Shiva Sayujya pradayakam).
Basic Mantra to use Ek mukhi is - "(Aum) NamasShivaya".
Only this much? Don't worry. I'm also interested in Ek mukhi Rudraksha like you. I will write at least 20 articles just on Ekmukhi. I will explain every detail I know. Please wait.
"This article is dedicated to Lord Shiva who is the Lord of Rudrakshas"

???!!! Are you serious?
We can't smoke even in presence of our parents or elders. How can we do it in presence of Lord? Smoking is strictly prohibited in temples :)
Of course, there is no reference to smoking in the sacred books. Our ancients didn't thought of this addiction.

Ek mukhi Mantras and Puja
Sarath said...
Hi Srihari, I'm sarath. I'm wearing a eka mukhi for a few years. I got the rudraksha from a aged sage who lives in the Himalayas when i went there. However, im not so much into sacred books. I keep up mu brahmacharyam, and other than that I do my normal life wearing my lord close to my heart. I feel awesome when i do what i feel i should do. Ultimately what i feel is that what should be done and should not be done is purely based on our perception of lord shiva, which is the karma roopam of the ultimate universal power.Have a lot more but the space and time doesnt allow that!!!

I'm trying to use Illustrator to recreate a line graph I was given. The problem I'm having is that when I use the graph tool in Illustrator, I can't seem to find any option for increasing the number of divisions on the Y-axis.
This is the original: Line Graph with several Y-labels
And this is what I have so far in Illustrator (I haven't ungrouped it to start the actual design yet): Line graph with too few Y-labels
What I want to do is increase the number of labels on the Y-axis so that they're more similar to the original. I know I can ungroup and manually add the labels, but I'd much rather it be done procedurally to minimize human error.
 - 1
 The toon is extremely basic, it haw no way of doing this. Either use a external app or draw the labels manually. Personally i would use mathematica for this. But i can understand that most people can not afford it. Maybe you could use a script? – joojaa Apr 8 '16 at 7:28
 - yes it is possible I guess with some tricks and hacks. So please if you don't mind please upload the XLS file. I want ti give it a try. – hsawires Apr 8 '16 at 18:02
Yes –
 1. Click on the graph
 2. In the menu bar, navigate to Object \ Graph \ Type...
 3. In the window that pops up, select Value Axis in the drop-down menu
 4. In the area named Tick Values, select Override Calculated Values
 5. Manually set the number of Divisions
Note: Adjusting this setting will reset other customizations you may have made visually to your graph. It's a good idea to get the data portion right before moving on to the design.
Alt/Option click on the graph and select Type (or select the graph, then go Object → Graph → Type).
When this window opens, select the drag down menu for graph options and choose Value axis.
You can then change the range of the values and the number of divisions.

Beach garden in a pot
Create a coastal feeling anywhere with a miniature sandy scene. Here's our simple step-by-step
Kathleen N. Brenzel
If you yearn for the beach but live miles inland, you can re-create the look easily in a pot.
What you'll need:
 - Low, wide pot or bowl, approximately 14 inches in diameter
 - Potting soil
 - Three small, slow-growing plants in 4-inch nursery pots
 - Horticultural-grade washed sand (a 1-qt. bag is enough for a 14-inch pot)
 - Small pieces of driftwood or other found objects
Step 1: Partially fill bowl with potting soil.
Step 2: Set the plants (still in their nursery containers) atop the soil, adjusting their position as needed until you're happy with the arrangement.
Step 3: Knock the plants out of their pots, gently tease apart any coiled roots, and plant; fill in around them with more potting soil up to within an inch or two of the pot rim. Tamp the soil to firm it; water to thoroughly moisten.
Step 4: Carefully pour a mulch of washed sand atop the soil. Finish with a piece of driftwood or other beachy treasures.
Step 5: Set the pot on a sunny patio (light afternoon shade in hot inland areas). Irrigate once a week or so using a gentle stream of water from the hose or a watering can with a narrow spout.

Info for this post is from the Smithsonsian article by Jess Blumberg
Dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the room that once symbolized peace was stolen by Nazis then disappeared for good.
While many Americans associate amber with the casing for dinosaur DNA in 1993's Jurassic Park, the stone has enthralled Europeans, and especially Russians, for centuries because of the golden, jewel-encrusted Amber Room, which was made of several tons of the gemstone. A gift to Peter the Great in 1716 celebrating peace between Russia and Prussia, the room's fate became anything but peaceful: Nazis looted it during World War II, and in the final months of the war, the amber panels, which had been packed away in crates, disappeared. A replica was completed in 2003, but the contents of the original, dubbed "the Eighth Wonder of the World," have remained missing for decades.
