The efficiency widget is the status of the efficiency-related alerts for the objects it is configured to monitor. Efficiency alerts in vRealize Operations Manager usually indicate that you can reclaim resources. You can create one or more efficiency widgets for objects that you add to your custom dashboards.
You can add the efficiency widget to one or more custom dashboards and configure it to display data that is important to the dashboard users.
The state of the badge is based on your alert definitions. Click the badge to see the Summary tab for objects or groups configured in the widget. From the Summary tab you can begin determining what caused the current state. If the widget is configured for an object that has descendants, you should also check the state of descendants. Child objects might have alerts that do not impact the parent.
If the Badge Mode configuration option is set to Off, the badge and a chart appears. The type of chart depends on the object that the widget is configured to monitor.
A population criticality chart displays the percentage of group members with critical, immediate, and warning efficiency alerts generated over time, if the monitored object is a group.
A trend line displays the efficiency status of the monitored object over time if the object does not provide its resources to any other object, or where no other object depends on the monitored object's resources. For example, if the monitored object is a virtual machine or a distributed switch.
A pie chart displays the reclaimable, stress, and optimal percentages for the virtual machines that are descendants of the monitored object for all other object types. You use the chart to identify objects in your environment from which you can reclaim resources. For example, if the object is a host or datastore.
If the Badge Mode is set to On, only the badge appears.
Edit an efficiency widget after you add it to a dashboard. The changes you make to the options create a custom widget that provides information about an individual object, a custom group of objects, or all the objects in your environment.
To customize the data that appears in the dashboard widget, click Content > Dashboards. On the Dashboards toolbar, click the Add icon to add a dashboard or the Edit icon to edit the selected dashboard.

Off. The badge and a chart appear in the widget. The chart provides additional information about the state of the object.
If you select an object in the list, the object becomes the selected object for the widget.


Several years ago, I joined this small church in Medway, Ohio. I was going through a very rough patch in my marriage, which would later lead to divorce, but I knew that in this rough time I needed Jesus. The church I grew up going to, as much as I love the people that make it, just didn't fit my family and was a bit of a drive at an hour each Sunday. So after years of being invited to this little church, that was only 40 minutes away, I accepted and my life was forever changed.
Funny to think of it now and to realize what a life changing decision I didn't realize I was making. I just thought I was finding a church that my kids could go to Sunday school while I went in to hear a message of hope and maybe find a way to heal my marriage.
One of the things this church does, is push 5 things….
After a few weeks of attending Sunday service, a new friend invited me to do number 5. Haha! Saying it like that sounds so dirty or silly, I'm not sure which. This was new to me and the idea of it made me uncomfortable, especially being naturally introverted, but I went. I made friends and started doing life with them by my side helping me and in the stands encouraging me.
It was at the small group that I met Paul. He joined a year after me, I think. I got to know him and his son and I knew that I had a friend for life.
As all of our lives changed, there were moments of growth together and eventually apart. My life was in many ways taking a turn for the worse and I think that took a toll on my small group….no one wants to hear how awful my marriage and now divorce things are all the time. I understand that. I also was starting to feel differently about the church, so it made sense to ultimately leave both.
Thankfully many of the friendships I formed there stayed and I was overjoyed when my friend, Paul called to ask me to be his photographer.
Over the course of several months, I got to know Paul better and to know him and Brandy together. It makes me so happy that they have found each other and that their faith in Christ is so strong. I know that a marriage that is Christ-centered is blessed and I was truly blessed to be a part of their wedding along side our small group friend, Denny, who served as their pastor.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer in the New Carlisle, Ohio or surrounding area, send me a message! I'd love to chat with you!

It seems like Greece is attracting more and more Chinese tourists. Sun Yanan, officer at the visa issuing organization in Beijing, China stated that about 40,000 Chinese tourists applied for a visa in 2013. The total number of tourists travelling to Greece this year is expected to reach 100,000; 20,000 more compared to the previous year.
Chinese people who traditionally chose Southeast Asia for their holidays, are seeking alternative destinations after being discouraged by the Malaysia Airline incident.
Greece has been recently attracting young Chinese couples who want to spend their honeymoon or even get married in one of its beautiful Greek islands which offer breathtaking views, such as the popular Cycladic island of Santorini of the port of Chania in Crete, have become top wedding destinations.
During the past 10 years, we have lost millions on tourists from China because some corrupt civil servants in the Greek Embassy in Beijing in the Visa Section where providing Visas for 5000USD to some Chinese who did not meet the required criteria…Some civil servants in the Visa section accumulated huge sums of illegal cash from this practice with the knowledge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here in Greece without any actions been taken against these corrupt other then sending them back to Greece as a form of punishment…During the past years Greece has lost millions if not billions of revenue from tourism alone…China has 100 millions or more would be tourists wishing to visit Greece but still the Greek Embassy is not able to facilitate the procedure required to obtain Visa while other European Embassies do provide Visas for their country without bribes…When the Greek authorities will address this issue???

Analysis: A stunning victory for the grassroots of the SNP and Scottish currency advocates
CommonSpace editor analyses the debate and outcome of the SNP Growth Commission vote
ON 27 APRIL 2019, the grassroots of the SNP showed its mettle, and proved that the independence movement is a thinking, critical and truly independent force, willing to defeat their own leaders when necessary.
The Growth Commission motion passed, but only after a revolt from below which saw an enormous 781 delegates vote in favour of amendment D, with 729 against.
That amendment mandates the party to "take the steps necessary to enable the Scottish Parliament to authorise the preparation of a Scottish Currency as soon as practicable after a vote for Independence with the aim that the currency be ready for introduction as soon as practicable after Independence Day."
The amendment scraps the annual Central Bank assessments proposed by the movers of the motion, but it doesn't explicitly get rid of the six tests in which the assessments were supposed to be based on.
READ MORE: SNP conference demands a Scottish currency be ready 'as soon as practicable' after independence
This leaves a battle of interpretation over the outcome, with an SNP press officer telling CommonSpace afterwards that despite the movers of Amendment D trashing the six tests, the amendment was, in fact, "kind of in harmony" with the tests.
No one in the Edinburgh conference hall would have been thinking that when watching Tim Rideout propose Amendment D, and in a five minute contribution totally dismantle the case presented by the SNP leadership, including taking each test apart piece by piece. It was a virtuoso performance, which will have to be re-played repeatedly to those who deem to turn Amendment D into something it was most certainly not intended to be by its advocates. In fact, the safest interpretation of the vote for Amendment D, as opposed to B or C, was that it was the strongest and simplest in advocating for a Scottish currency as soon as possible.
Rideout's speech was the highlight of what was a hugely precise and rigorous argumentation on the side of those in favour of the amendments to the currency motion - entirely made up of contributions from the grassroots of the party, who provided a major rebuke to unionist stereotypes of the rank-and-file of the independence movement as brainless droids. Surely no one could have come away from those contributions thinking anything of the kind.
The speeches of the proposers of the amendments stood in stark contrast to those defending the motion, who when faced with specific criticisms of the Growth Commission ideas responded with platitudes about why we need independence to tackle poverty and claims that achieving independence, not what currency policy we have, is what really mattered in the debate. It was noticeable that advocates of the motion were all senior figures in the party - only politicians spoke in favour of the motion.
It is perhaps the most seismic defeat for the SNP leadership in the party's modern history, but it was quite clear from the contributions that this was really about the grassroots trying to save the leaders from themselves, repeatedly pointing to the pitfalls the party's spokespeople would be failing into if the motion was passed unamended.
It will surely have to lead to some soul-searching by Nicola Sturgeon and the rest of the party leadership. They tried to foist the Growth Commission, lead by a corporate lobbyist and with no trade union involvement, on to the membership, and use their usual media channels to push the vote over the line, expecting that would be sufficient to overcome obvious and serious disquiet. It wasn't. Very few well-known figures in the party spoke out against the Growth Commission and the SNP leadership's motion - this is undoubtedly a win for the party's grassroots, and one they will have to defend from any attempt to tame their vote.
One final point: Councillor Rhiannon Spear rightly said in a point of order that the debate was far too male dominated, a point no one could surely question. A new economics has to also be an economics where women lead the debate - something all sides can surely agree on.

Update: WiMax service coming to 19 new cities this year
Clearwire and Sprint will serve 19 new markets this summer, bringing coverage to 52 cities
By Stephen Lawson
Senior U.S. Correspondent, IDG News Service |
Clearwire's WiMax mobile broadband will come to 19 more markets across the U.S. this summer, with Sprint Nextel reselling the service in all those areas and with Comcast and Time Warner Cable coming on board in some of them.
Clearwire already offers WiMax in 32 markets, covering 41 million people, and plans to reach all major markets and 120 million potential customers by 2011. It sells the service, advertised as delivering 3Mbps to 6Mbps in homes and offices, as well as outdoors, under the brand Clear. Sprint, the majority owner of Clearwire, resells it under the Sprint 4G brand, and several cable companies also have begun to resell the service. All are out ahead of rival LTE (Long-Term Evolution) networks to be launched by Verizon Wireless later this year and by AT&T next year.

Before the end of summer, WiMax will go on sale by Clearwire, Sprint, and Comcast in 15 new markets: Jacksonville and Daytona, Fla.; Kansas City, Kan.; Nashville, Tenn.; St. Louis; Salt Lake City; Merced, Modesto, Stockton, and Visalia, Calif.; Wilmington, Del.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Eugene, Ore.; and Yakima, Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland, Wash. Comcast brands the service as High-Speed 2go.
In Kansas City, Kan., Time Warner Cable will also offer the WiMax service, which it calls Road Runner Mobile. In addition, Time Warner will launch WiMax with Clearwire and Sprint in Rochester and Syracuse, N.Y., by fall.
Residents of Orlando and Tampa, Fla., will also get WiMax this summer, offered by Clearwire and Sprint.
The service is available both in homes and offices, with tabletop modems, and as mobile broadband, with USB dongles as well as netbooks and laptops. In March, Sprint unveiled the first handset for the service, the HTC Evo, set to ship this summer.
This story originally stated that WiMax service is coming to 20 new cities; the correct number is 19, and the story has been updated with the correct information

It being Saturday, the usual line of faces from the Maghreb and Africa was absent outside the Réception des Étrangers – the foreigners' reception centre – in Paris when, shortly after first light, a woman police officer climbed a ladder at the entrance to the local police headquarters at Montparnasse and carefully wrapped the tricolore flag in a black ribbon.
Only a man called Imad Abdel Amass, from Morocco, came to check opening times. Amass is a "binational", on whom much attention is now falling, as three days of mourning begin.
The same was happening to flags all over France – reeling from yet further appalling carnage. Words like "shock", "grief" and "outrage", "fear" and "anger" are yet again currency of the moment. Beneath cuts a rip-tide: the sense that this is not a breakdown of order, but a new order of things. "We have to prepare ourselves to become habituated to this," reflected Gérard Etiennez, tying another black ribbon to the little flag on his cutlery and bric-a-brac stall in the market along Boulevard Lefebvre during early morning.
The public reacted with some clarity and resolve after the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and the Jewish supermarket, and then the Bataclan theatre and bars last year, but these latest days of mourning began in a state of stupefaction and surreality.
"It's surreal" were the first words with which many people in France learned of the slaughter in Nice, transmitted by one of the few journalists – Damien Allemand of Nice-Matin – whose job it had been to report on a family fireworks display by the Mediterranean Sea on Bastille Day.
But Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was almost unknown to the authorities. The claim of responsibility by Isis came from the Middle East, with no trace of Bouhlel to match it on the security services' books.
By contrast, almost all the perpetrators of last year's atrocities had come under surveillance as "Fiches S", cases that had aroused suspicion but done nothing to warrant arrest. That brought calls to control or even round up those with such files.
But those proposals ring hollow this weekend; Lahouaiej-Bouhlel comes from out of the blue. His only police record is for affray after a traffic incident, although there are reports of domestic violence. An awful truth dawns: this is not some soldier in an Islamic army, just a man with a 19-ton truck who drank and had no interest in religion but was spurred on by what prosecutors call "a trail of telephonic and computer material". Ominously, this is said to include an exchange with a jihadist jailed in Nice, Omar Diaby.
The Grande Mosquée de Paris expressed "consternation" at the attack, as it did after previous attacks – but on those occasions it added a denunciation of Isis. Who to denounce this time? No one? Everyone? Not all France's Muslims, though many will, unfortunately, do just that.
Nice lies in the FN's Southern heartland, and has been the scene of many attacks on mosques. Islamists, meanwhile, notably those from the fundamentalist insurgency against secular military Algeria, have long converged and hidden in its Ariane and Saint Roch quarters.
Louder still were hard lines coming from the republicans likely to rule France next, under Juppé or Nicolas Sarkozy. The national assembly member Jacques Myard called for the expulsion of "all binationals on a radicalised road", as has been applied to those returning from Syria. The former mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, said he was "astonished that the president could have announced the end of the state of emergency" before the attack.
Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was a binational. He was actually a Tunisian with a 10-year French residence permit.

The space between the planets, the stars and the galaxies is filled with plasma, a gas-like medium of charged particles that emit radiation. Lennard Fisk has devoted his career to studying this space, a harsh environment that artificial satellites and astronauts must endure.
(File Photo/Marcia Ledford, U-M Photo Services)
Fisk, a professor in the Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences Department, will give a Distinguished University Professor address on the field of space plasma physics at 4 p.m. Feb. 4 in the Rackham Amphitheater. The title of his talk is "The Science and Sociology of Space Plasma Physics."
The lecture takes place during the week of the 50th anniversary of the first U.S. satellite launch. Explorer 1, America's answer to Russian-launched Sputnik, was dispatched Jan. 31, 1958. It gathered data that led to the discovery of Earth's Van Allen radiation belts, wing-shaped regions of denser plasma that flank the planet at certain altitudes above the magnetosphere.
"Explorer 1's discovery began the field of space plasma physics," Fisk says. "At this time, it's fitting to pause and ask what we have done, how the field evolved and what we can do here at Michigan to encourage its growth. We are very strong in this area. We need to take a leadership position as a university."
Fisk, a 15-year veteran of U-M, previously spent six years as the associate administrator for space science and applications at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He currently is chair of the National Academies Space Studies Board, which advises NASA. Fisk will discuss space policy as well as science in his address. He will focus on how the field of space plasma physics has evolved and whether that evolution hinders or ensures a bright future for the field.
During the past five decades, space plasma physicists have developed a deep understanding of the atmosphere of the sun and its expansion into space, the solar wind. The solar wind interacts with and alters the magnetic fields of the planets. Scientists have discovered that the sun and the solar wind are prodigious accelerators of energetic particle radiation. The environment of space is filled with interesting plasma phenomena, Fisk says, which scientists need to better understand for future exploration and utilization of space.
Fisk is the Thomas M. Donahue Distinguished University Professor of Space Science. He served as chair of his department from 1993-2003. Prior to serving at NASA, he was a physics professor and vice president for research and financial affairs at the University of New Hampshire. He has authored close to 200 publications and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Thaipusam
Thaipusam is an Indian festival. It's a celebration for the son of Shiva (Subramaniam) and the becoming "one" of Pusan and the Brihaspati stars. Lord Subramaniam is the universal granter of wishes. All those who wish to ask for a future favor, fulfill a vow in return for a granted favor, or to repent for past sins will participate in this festival. It's not difficult for Hindus (or anyone) to fall into one of these categories.
There are two places in Malaysia, where this is celebrated. That's in Kuala Lumpur (Batu Caves) and on Penang.
Every year in Kuala Lumpur, on Thaipusam, as many as 900,000 devotees and other visitors may throng the caves. As a form of penance or sacrifice, many of them carry kavadis (literally, "burden," such as a pitcher or jug). These are large, brightly decorated frameworks, usually combined with various metal hooks and skewers which are used to pierce the skin, cheeks and tongue. By doing this penance they expect some favours from their Gods. It is a common practice for devotees here to pierce themselves with numerous hooks and long skewers as well as to pull heavy chariots hooked to their backs even though nothing is mentioned about these forms of devotional expressions in the holy books.
The festival is held in the tenth month of the Hindu calendar (mostly the end of January).
This 3-day festival will start off at the Sri Maha Mariamman temple in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown district. From there, the devotees and the entire procession will make their way towards Batu Caves, which is like 13 kilometres towards the north of the city. At least about 50,000 Hindu devotees will be doing the procession.
If a devotee wishes to carry a kavadi, that can be just a wooden arc decorated with flowers, peacock feathers and a picture of Murugan. Two pots filled with milk can be attached to both ends of the arch to be offered to Murugan.
The kavadis is placed on the shoulders of the devotee. The kavadis represents a miniature shrine.
Women carry a silver jug full of milk on their heads, some are pierced through their cheeks and tongues and others not. Some devotees will start fasting a month or two before Thaipusam. They will follow strictly a vegetarian diet and some even sleep on the hard floor for months preparing themselves for the day.
Chains are dropped from the central body of the kavadis and hooked onto the flesh of the bearer. The length of the spears had to be limited to a metre in consideration for other devotees. Others hook limes, oranges or coconuts onto their bodies.
They are always accompanied by an entourage of relatives and friends to make them enthusiastic with dance parades, songs, musicians playing the drums and the flutes.
As they arrive at the shrine at the Batu Caves, the Swami removes the hooks, spears etc. The vow is finally fulfilled. Now it's up to their Gods.
On Penang the procession starts on the evening before Thaipusam. They walk from the Chettiar Temple in Penang Street where the silver chariot leaves on a journey to the Nattukkottai Chettiar Temple at Waterfall Road.


First, you need to know what operating system your computer is running. I don't know a lot about Macintosh computers or the latest windows, but on Windows 7 you can find out these details by clicking the start button, then right-click on "Computer" and pick "Properties". (It looks like you can get the same screen by clicking Start > Control Panel > System). In the screen shot fragment below, you can see I'm running a 64-bit version of Windows.
If you have a Mac, reply to this message (to the list) with as much info as possible and hopefully someone with knowledge of that kind of machine can help you.
Also, note that PSPP is still somewhat rough and unfortunately there can be more bugs in the Windows/Mac versions. On the plus side, if you report the bugs, the developers will work to fix them.

Razr 2022 and X30 Pro launch event cancelled
Motorola had long ago prepared teasers for the introduction of two new phones, Moto Razer 2022 and Moto X30 Pro, and these two devices were supposed to be unveiled today. But suddenly, Chen Jin, the general manager of Motorola and Lenovo's mobile division, announced on the Weibo social network that the launch event of these two products has been canceled. Jane In part of his post he writes:
We regret to inform you that our new product launch scheduled for today has been canceled for some reason. We deeply regret this and thank you for your enthusiastic support of our new phones. For more information about new products, you can still visit our official website.
At the moment, no specific reason for this sudden decision of Motorola has been announced. But this news was published in the middle of the tension between China and Taiwan, and it may have something to do with this situation. Tensions in this region have increased significantly after the approval of Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.
What is your opinion about the cancellation of the Razr 2022 and X30 Pro launch event? He shared his opinions with Tekrato in the comments section Technology News Follow with us.

A healthy, well-maintained lawn is the best defence against insect invasion. Insect damage is usually less severe on well-watered lawns. Insects that infest home lawns are generally difficult to notice and their presence goes undetected until significant damage has been done. Insect damage can often be mistaken for drought damage. If the lawn remains brown or shows signs of thinning out despite watering, try closer examination for insects. Regular inspection of the lawn including leaves, stems, roots, thatch and soil will help to determine if the problem is insect-related.
Did you know that certain varieties of turf grass such as Fiesta III Perennial Ryegrass contain a fungus called an 'endophyte' which gives the plant a natural resistance to sucking insects such as chinch bug? By overseeding this blend of grass seed into your lawn you can effectively eliminate some of the damage that these annoying insects cause.
One of the best ways to reduce the effects of chinch bug feeding is proper irrigation and fertility. Over fertilized lawns with quick release nitrogen promote excessive top growth. This attracts chinch bugs, as they love to feed on the fresh green growth. Using a balanced fertility program with slow release fertilizers reduces surge top growth thereby minimizing the attraction. Secondly, lawns that are irrigated properly suffer less damage as the grass is able to recover much faster from chinch bug feeding. Chinch bug damage is most severe during extended periods of drought. Damage from their feeding is most apparent in July and August.
In most cases the damage resembles drought symptoms. Large areas of your lawn may appear wilted with a yellowish brown color, however it will not respond to watering. If your lawn pulls up easily in these areas, this is most likely a sign that insects have been feeding on it. If your lawn also display signs of being torn up, this is usually a grub problem and the result of nocturnal animals such as skunks or raccoons feeding on the grubs.
White Grubs are the larvae of 3 different varieties of beetle found in this area. The most common are the European Chafer beetle and the Japanese beetle. Eco-Gro Lawncare is now using GrubGone, a proven eco-friendly bacteria, encased in a granular, which will dissolve into the soil stopping grubs at any stage from causing damage to your lawn. This new product has a wide application window starting in late June, which will allow it to be used curatively and preventively, and will continue to work for up to 90 days, going after and eliminating white grubs at any stage.
Lawns that have insect damage characterized by animals digging and turf areas that lift up easily (like carpet) from roots being fed upon.
General browning of the lawn or small pockets of dead grass indicates white grub damage.
Lawns that have a history of white grubs or other turf damaging larval insect populations.
If you think you have grubs or other insect problems contact our office to have your lawn assessed before it is too late.

"How much it'd cost to book"- this is often the major query that floats to the mind of buyers when they are confronted with a new property. Pre booking of properties have been a major trend today because it safeguards the fiscal interest in the property, especially for the end users.

I've begun trying to clear out my backlog of stuff I want to read. This had been on my list for since before the blog started. I really like the idea of works of short fiction that introduce authors and series that I'm interested in. Sample chapters are good too but they're always incomplete by nature. At least with a novella or short story it's intended to be a more complete story.
In this short it's clearly a part of something bigger but it provided everything that I was hoping for. I got a feel for the character dynamics, the setting in general terms and the author's style. And I liked what I saw.
So Mr. Sullivan is now firmly on my authors to watch list and Riyria is a series I want to make time for.

Stephen Crane: A Dark Brown Dog
Posted in 20th century literature, American literature, short stories, tagged A Brown Dog, allegory, Jim Crow, short stories, Stephen Crane on December 27, 2018| Leave a Comment »
(This story was first published in Cosmopolitan, March 1901. It was probably written in the summer of 1893, an allegory about the Jim Crow South during Reconstruction. The dog represents emancipated slaves.-benny)
A Child was standing on a street-corner. He leaned with one shoulder against a high board-fence and swayed the other to and fro, the while kicking carelessly at the gravel.
Sunshine beat upon the cobbles, and a lazy summer wind raised yellow dust which trailed in clouds down the avenue. Clattering trucks moved with indistinctness through it. The child stood dreamily gazing.
After a time, a little dark-brown dog came trotting with an intent air down the sidewalk. A short rope was dragging from his neck. Occasionally he trod upon the end of it and stumbled.
He stopped opposite the child, and the two regarded each other. The dog hesitated for a moment, but presently he made some little advances with his tail. The child put out his hand and called him. In an apologetic manner the dog came close, and the two had an interchange of friendly pattings and waggles. The dog became more enthusiastic with each moment of the interview, until with his gleeful caperings he threatened to overturn the child. Whereupon the child lifted his hand and struck the dog a blow upon the head.
This thing seemed to overpower and astonish the little dark-brown dog, and wounded him to the heart. He sank down in despair at the child's feet. When the blow was repeated, together with an admonition in childish sentences, he turned over upon his back, and held his paws in a peculiar manner. At the same time with his ears and his eyes he offered a small prayer to the child.
Presently he struggled to his feet and started after the child.
He looked so comical on his back, and holding his paws peculiarly, that the child was greatly amused and gave him little taps repeatedly, to keep him so. But the little dark-brown dog took this chastisement in the most serious way, and no doubt considered that he had committed some grave crime, for he wriggled contritely and showed his repentance in every way that was in his power. He pleaded with the child and petitioned him, and offered more prayers.
At last the child grew weary of this amusement and turned toward home. The dog was praying at the time. He lay on his back and turned his eyes upon the retreating form.
Presently he struggled to his feet and started after the child. The latter wandered in a perfunctory way toward his home, stopping at times to investigate various matters. During one of these pauses he discovered the little dark-brown dog who was following him with the air of a footpad.
The child beat his pursuer with a small stick he had found. The dog lay down and prayed until the child had finished, and resumed his journey. Then he scrambled erect and took up the pursuit again.
On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog, proclaiming with childish gestures that he held him in contempt as an unimportant dog, with no value save for a moment. For being this quality of animal the dog apologized and eloquently expressed regret, but he continued stealthily to follow the child. His manner grew so very guilty that he slunk like an assassin.
When the child reached his door-step, the dog was industriously ambling a few yards in the rear. He became so agitated with shame when he again confronted the child that he forgot the dragging rope. He tripped upon it and fell forward.
The child sat down on the step and the two had another interview. During it the dog greatly exerted himself to please the child. He performed a few gambols with such abandon that the child suddenly saw him to be a valuable thing. He made a swift, avaricious charge and seized the rope.
He dragged his captive into a hall and up many long stairways in a dark tenement. The dog made willing efforts, but he could not hobble very skillfully up the stairs because he was very small and soft, and at last the pace of the engrossed child grew so energetic that the dog became panic-stricken. In his mind he was being dragged toward a grim unknown. His eyes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head frantically and to brace his legs.
The child redoubled his exertions. They had a battle on the stairs. The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose, and because the dog was very small. He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home, and finally with triumph across the threshold.
No one was in. The child sat down on the floor and made overtures to the dog. These the dog instantly accepted. He beamed with affection upon his new friend. In a short time they were firm and abiding comrades.
When the child's family appeared, they made a great row. The dog was examined and commented upon and called names. Scorn was leveled at him from all eyes, so that he became much embarrassed and drooped like a scorched plant. But the child went sturdily to the center of the floor, and, at the top of his voice, championed the dog. It happened that he was roaring protestations, with his arms clasped about the dog's neck, when the father of the family came in from work.
The parent demanded to know what the blazes they were making the kid howl for. It was explained in many words that the infernal kid wanted to introduce a disreputable dog into the family.
A family council was held. On this depended the dog's fate, but he in no way heeded, being busily engaged in chewing the end of the child's dress.
The affair was quickly ended. The father of the family, it appears, was in a particularly savage temper that evening, and when he perceived that it would amaze and anger everybody if such a dog were allowed to remain, he decided that it should be so. The child, crying softly, took his friend off to a retired part of the room to hobnob with him, while the father quelled a fierce rebellion of his wife. So it came to pass that the dog was a member of the household.
He and the child were associated together at all times save when the child slept. The child became a guardian and a friend. If the large folk kicked the dog and threw things at him, the child made loud and violent objections. Once when the child had run, protesting loudly, with tears raining down his face and his arms outstretched, to protect his friend, he had been struck in the head with a very large saucepan from the hand of his father, enraged at some seeming lack of courtesy in the dog. Ever after, the family were careful how they threw things at the dog. Moreover, the latter grew very skilful in avoiding missiles and feet. In a small room containing a stove, a table, a bureau and some chairs, he would display strategic ability of a high order, dodging, feinting and scuttling about among the furniture. He could force three or four people armed with brooms, sticks and handfuls of coal, to use all their ingenuity to get in a blow. And even when they did, it was seldom that they could do him a serious injury or leave any imprint.
But when the child was present, these scenes did not occur. It came to be recognized that if the dog was molested, the child would burst into sobs, and as the child, when started, was very riotous and practically unquenchable, the dog had therein a safeguard.
However, the child could not always be near. At night, when he was asleep, his dark-brown friend would raise from some black corner a wild, wailful cry, a song of infinite lowliness and despair, that would go shuddering and sobbing among the buildings of the block and cause people to swear. At these times the singer would often be chased all over the kitchen and hit with a great variety of articles.
Sometimes, too, the child himself used to beat the dog, although it is not known that he ever had what could be truly called a just cause. The dog always accepted these thrashings with an air of admitted guilt. He was too much of a dog to try to look to be a martyr or to plot revenge. He received the blows with deep humility, and furthermore he forgave his friend the moment the child had finished, and was ready to caress the child's hand with his little red tongue.
When misfortune came upon the child, and his troubles overwhelmed him, he would often crawl under the table and lay his small distressed head on the dog's back. The dog was ever sympathetic. It is not to be supposed that at such times he took occasion to refer to the unjust beatings his friend, when provoked, had administered to him.
He did not achieve any notable degree of intimacy with the other members of the family. He had no confidence in them, and the fear that he would express at their casual approach often exasperated them exceedingly. They used to gain a certain satisfaction in underfeeding him, but finally his friend the child grew to watch the matter with some care, and when he forgot it, the dog was often successful in secret for himself.
So the dog prospered. He developed a large bark, which came wondrously from such a small rug of a dog. He ceased to howl persistently at night. Sometimes, indeed, in his sleep, he would utter little yells, as from pain, but that occurred, no doubt, when in his dreams he encountered huge flaming dogs who threatened him direfully.
His devotion to the child grew until it was a sublime thing. He wagged at his approach; he sank down in despair at his departure. He could detect the sound of the child's step among all the noises of the neighborhood. It was like a calling voice to him.
The scene of their companionship was a kingdom governed by this terrible potentate, the child; but neither criticism nor rebellion ever lived for an instant in the heart of the one subject. Down in the mystic, hidden fields of his little dog-soul bloomed flowers of love and fidelity and perfect faith.
The child was in the habit of going on many expeditions to observe strange things in the vicinity. On these occasions his friend usually jogged aimfully along behind. Perhaps, though, he went ahead. This necessitated his turning around every quarter-minute to make sure the child was coming. He was filled with a large idea of the importance of these journeys. He would carry himself with such an air! He was proud to be the retainer of so great a monarch.
One day, however, the father of the family got quite exceptionally drunk. He came home and held carnival with the cooking utensils, the furniture and his wife. He was in the midst of this recreation when the child, followed by the dark-brown dog, entered the room. They were returning from their voyages.
He was the picture of a little dark-brown dog en route to a friend.
The child's practised eye instantly noted his father's state. He dived under the table, where experience had taught him was a rather safe place. The dog, lacking skill in such matters, was, of course, unaware of the true condition of affairs. He looked with interested eyes at his friend's sudden dive. He interpreted it to mean: Joyous gambol. He started to patter across the floor to join him. He was the picture of a little dark-brown dog en route to a friend.
The head of the family saw him at this moment. He gave a huge howl of joy, and knocked the dog down with a heavy coffee-pot. The dog, yelling in supreme astonishment and fear, writhed to his feet and ran for cover. The man kicked out with a ponderous foot. It caused the dog to swerve as if caught in a tide. A second blow of the coffee-pot laid him upon the floor.
Here the child, uttering loud cries, came valiantly forth like a knight. The father of the family paid no attention to these calls of the child, but advanced with glee upon the dog. Upon being knocked down twice in swift succession, the latter apparently gave up all hope of escape. He rolled over on his back and held his paws in a peculiar manner. At the same time with his eyes and his ears he offered up a small prayer.
But the father was in a mood for having fun, and it occurred to him that it would be a fine thing to throw the dog out of the window. So he reached down and grabbing the animal by a leg, lifted him, squirming, up. He swung him two or three times hilariously about his head, and then flung him with great accuracy through the window.
The soaring dog created a surprise in the block. A woman watering plants in an opposite window gave an involuntary shout and dropped a flower-pot. A man in another window leaned perilously out to watch the flight of the dog. A woman, who had been hanging out clothes in a yard, began to caper wildly. Her mouth was filled with clothes-pins, but her arms gave vent to a sort of exclamation. In appearance she was like a gagged prisoner. Children ran whooping.
The dark-brown body crashed in a heap on the roof of a shed five stories below. From thence it rolled to the pavement of an alleyway.
The child in the room far above burst into a long, dirge-like cry, and toddled hastily out of the room. It took him a long time to reach the alley, because his size compelled him to go downstairs backward, one step at a time, and holding with both hands to the step above….they found him seated by the body of his dark-brown friend.
When they came for him later, they found him seated by the body of his dark-brown friend.

The Buck glowed with strange fires, and it followed with unerring sense the track of the doe. But in his wake rose up puffs of points of light with colors that struck the ravens with foreboding. It was not part of their calculation.
"What are they?" Null shrilled.
Knull said," I am stumped. I guess these are spun off from all that energy the tree acquired in defining Space and Time. Nothing more we can do but watch how these develop?"
Null went blank and snapped out of its spell screaming "The Ghost Runners!"
Later he asked," What put that thought into my mind?"
"It of course! But what worries me more than anything else, "Who is dead here anyway?"
Knull had reason to feel puzzled. 'How can there be ghosts without death as a reality?'
Or were they angels, flames of fire spun out of Will (or Thought?)
The ghost runners were as incidental as humans transfer parasites evolved alongside through many cycles of their birth.

Boughs of the tree shook heavily and consequently the leaves began to glow and like froth skimmed off the many jagged waves of a choppy sea. The bright cloud lifted by itself and the raven broke loose flapping their wings. Null asked conversationally, "A buck for the doe. Like us – we are made for one another?"
Knull said, "What use is a shape if it cannot be pinned down? What use is It if it cannot think and express? "
"Yes I am the Thought you its Active Agent and the Buck?
Knull answered promptly: Merely incidental."

Null said,:"Time?"
Knull was not to be drawn in. He said, " How much space shall your wings cover?"
"A day's flight."
Knull said after a long silence. " My flight for the same duration is a cosmic year."
"Why such difference?"
Knull chortled, " I make things happen so much so events like a ripple touch end to end."
Meanwhile the Caribou lowed and Knull said, " There the beast has got free from the tree."
Null said cryptically: " So it is destined. Slain before the foundation of time."
Knull " I know the Thought, and you said it loud and clear."
The ravens said with one voice, "Away! Begone!" The doe dropped off.
La Peau de Chagrin by Balzac- illustration
Posted in 19th Century literature, illustrations, tagged allegory, antique dealer, Balzac novel, Benny Thomas, Honore de Balzac, Magic, pen and wash, Raphael de Valentin, Wild Asses Skin on April 20, 2013| 2 Comments »
It is often said a writer is judged by his second book. In the case of Balzac La Peau de Chagrin was his second (if his Physiologie du Mariage is excluded It is not a literary work in the strictest sense).Yes Physiologie earned him notoriety as a rake that made him bristle with irritation. He protested ."Many women readers will be disappointed to learn that the author… is young,steadygoing as an elderly departmental manager, sober as an invalid on a diet…and a very hard worker.' Of the last he was absolutely correct.)
His potboiler days were behind him and his head was teeming with ideas that never flagged. The novel that established him as a literary star came with La Peau de Chagrin. His day-book contains the germ of an idea: The discovery of a skin representing life. Oriental fable.'In January 1831 he sold it to Messieurs Charles Gosselin and Urbain Canel for the sum of 1,135 francs, a work in two volumes under the title La Peau.. which he was to deliver by 15 February. He was as usual in no hurry to get down to work. But working never frightened as much as his promises were easier given. He often ended up with contracts with the publishers that required inhuman labor something of twelve labors from Hercules. The book got off to a slow start.
When he noted down the idea first he thought of it no more than a fantastic novel in the manner of Hoffmann. He even referred to it as' a piece of thorough nonsense in the literary sense..' The story is about a magic talisman,an ass's skin, which makes all its owner's wishes come true. The only catch was that the skin would shrink with fulfilment of each wish, and when the skin disappears so will the owner. The aged and decrepit antique-dealer shown in the illustration sells to the central character, never dared to express a wish lest he should die. Balzac pondering over his work saw, as a true genius he was, hidden depths of human condition. He knew his father who had retired to his country estate in order to prolong his life. What would longevity mean? Is it not miserliness and to achieve it men economize their activities and their emotions? For them it carried all their wisdom because they dared not wish another. As the dealer discloses to Raphael his life-lesson,'Man expends himself in the performance of two instinctive acts which drain away all the sources of his being. All the forms of these two agents of death may be summed up in the two words 'will' and 'can.' ' By his genius he turned the Hoffmannesque fantasy into an allegory. It was set in his time. The truism,'It is the property of a good fable that the author does not know himself all the riches it contains' was true in this case.
By this book mingling fantasy with realism he made the story vivid and totally absorbing. Jules Sandeau found it impossible to put down. The book made the young man from Tourain, unknown three years ago, who had with three works became the most sought out of all publishers, the golden boy of the booksellers and the women's favorite author.

The Church Fathers-anecdotes
Posted in anecdotes, tagged allegory, anecdotes, Church, Origen, St.George, textual criticism on March 29, 2010| Leave a Comment »
According to Cassian(c.400 AD)St. John an Apostle of Jesus was seen sporting with a tame partridge by an archer, who thought the holyman should not waste his time in frivolities. St. John replied that if the archer didn't at times relax his bow, it would lose its spring.
Marcion,the son of a bishop made his fortune at sea. While in Rome he became a Christian about 140 AD. He gave a gift of 1600 pounds to the Church which was returned to him when he turned to gnosticism. The canon of Marcion recognized only the gospels of St.Paul and St. Luke. This prompted the Church to lay down her canon of the New Testament( 180 AD) and it was confirmed in Antioch,Ephesus and Rome.
Marcion's teachings caused a sharp division in the Church which later caused him much distress and he sought a reconciliation.
When Polycarp(c.AD 69-156)the Bishop of Smyrna came to Rome Marcion sought him out and asked,'Do you recognize me?'
'Yes,' replied Polycarp,I recognize the firstborn of Satan.'
Athanasius,Bishop of Alexandria(AD.256)
was caught in the Arian controversy where his life was often only one step away from disaster since there were great many enemies who wanted to destroy him. None came more implacable as Bishop George, formerly a pork contractor from Cappadocia. He supported the Arian doctrine. He was merciless,hard and mercenary in hunting down who didn't subscribe to it. He was appointed a Bishop at a gathering of 30 bishops at Antioch.
He terrorized churches that smacked of Orthodoxy and Athanasius became the symbol of everything that he hated.
The contest between them became mixed up with the same Bishop who was martyred during the reign of Emperor Julian the Apostate. This confusion of two events have given us an iconic image of George contending for the Empress Alexandra against the magician Athanasius. The same George is the patron saint of England!
Athanasius was an ascetic and steadfast in his belief and he was targeted by both Meletians and Arians. Once charge was brought before Emperor Constantine that the Bishop had killed a Miletian bishop named Arsenius. In fact he was hidden away by his faction in a monastery. They produced a dismembered hand in a box stating that Athansius had cut it off for purposes of magic.
Luckily for Athanasius, he could spirit away Arsenius from his place of hiding. His enemies didn't know this.
Athanasius produced a muffled body in front of the emperor. He first showed his face asking,'Is this Arsenius, whom I murdered?'
Then he revealed one hand and then the other to say:' Let no man ask for a third; for two hands,and two only was everyman from the Creator of all things.'
In the manner in which he could wriggle out of all the traps set for him naturally his enemies believed that he was a magician.
Origen(c.AD185-254) considered as the father of textual criticism came from a devout Christian family. From young age it fell on his shoulders to support the big family which he did by taking on pupils,copying manuscripts in his elegant handwriting. He was the pupil of Clement who headed the first Christian university set up in Alexandria.
At 17, he became the he head of the Catechetical School, a perilous post at that time. As there was no stipend attached to his post he sold off his library for an annuity of money equivalent of six pence a day, and for the rest of his life lived on this small amount. He wore but one garment ,went barefoot,slept on the ground and ate and slept sparingly. His holiness and deep erudition brought flocks of pupils to his lectures.
Having female pupils he,in order to avoid any scandal that may arise made himself an eunuch literally following an injunction of Jesus. The father of textual criticism and allegorical method in explaining the Scriptures took it literally!(Ack:Lights and shades of Christendom-Bishop Pakenham-Walsh,The Christian Literature Society-1935)

Q: Yesod: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET in browser when sending large JSON body I'm sending a large JSON body (~3MB) in a production app (it's a base64 encoded file). When I send a JSON body, Yesod seems to think this worked:
POST /send-json
  Accept: */*
  Status: 200 OK 0.000098s

But the browser doesn't get a response back and instead gets net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. I've reproduced this in Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Could this be a bug somewhere, in maybe warp or wai? My expectation would be that if Yesod is configured with:
maximumContentLength _ _ = Just (10 * 1024 * 1024) -- 10 megabytes

that receiving a large request body shouldn't be a problem.
Version Info: https://gist.github.com/MaxGabriel/10e8a999eabcc9cb566c087978f5c3ac

I reproduced this issue in this repo here: https://github.com/MaxGabriel/large-files. It's the yesod-simple template with just 1 additional commit: https://github.com/MaxGabriel/large-files/commit/38addf762feaa5cbff19b84821c7980eec10b160. Instead of sending a file, I just copy a string a bunch of times to create a huge JSON body (a few megabytes).
I can't reproduce this issue sending a binary file in a form.
I can't reproduce this issue from curl.
EDIT: If I actually consume the body using requireCheckJsonBody, then the issue goes away. If I ignore the body and just return () then I get the error. Because of this, I think there's a good chance this is a bug in Yesod or somewhere else in the stack
