Michael leaves behind misery: 'Our lives are gone here'
Residents return home to devastation
By FAITH KARIMI, CNN
Cars are piled on top of each other after Hurricane Michael passed through the area on October 11, 2018 in Mexico Beach, Florida. The hurricane hit the panhandle area with category 4 winds causing major damage.
(CNN) - Linda Clarke gasped when she returned to what was once their stately beach house -- before Hurricane Michael turned it into heaps of wood and metal.
"Oooooh wow, our new house," she said, her voice shaking. Her husband, Raoul, walked past her.
Hurricane Michael strikes the southeast
Michael's death toll rises to 17, including 8 in Florida
Michael's trail of devastation leads from Fla. to Carolinas
"Raoul. It's just stuff. It's just stuff," Clarke said repeatedly as she eyed the destruction around her. "It's just stuff. We can replace."
A few days ago, they were living in their dream home at Shell Point Beach. After Michael blew ashore Wednesday, the house lay in crumbled blocks, with the lower level filled with chunks of concrete and a lime green boat tossed near the stairs. What a 9-foot storm surge didn't crash into, the 155-mph winds wiped out.
'I just don't know what to do'
Across the Florida Panhandle, shell-shocked residents returned home to devastation after Michael's fury, with similar scenes played out in several neighborhoods.
Debra Murphy looked at the debris in her home in Shell Point Beach, where she raised her three daughters .
"I'm just still in shock. ... I can't think anymore because I just don't know what to do," she told CNN's Gary Tuchman, breaking down in tears.
Michael careened across the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall Wednesday as a monster Category 4 storm, killing at least 13 people and swallowing towns and marinas in its path.
Victims included an 11-year-old girl killed in Seminole County, Georgia, when a metal carport crashed through a roof, hitting her head. One man, Steven Sweet, died when a tree fell on a home near Greensboro, Florida.
Michael lingered for two hours when it slammed into the Florida Panhandle, the strongest storm in the continental United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
Meteorologists had warned for days that Michael was a beast. But its rapid intensification over the Gulf's warm waters hours before landfall and its fury inland caught many by surprise, CNN meteorologist Robert Shackelford said.
'At this point, there's really no making sense'
In Panama City, home to about 38,000 people, Michael's fury was evident, with trees snapped in half and roofs ripped off buildings.
David Sebastian rode out the storm and barely made it out alive.
The hurricane peeled off the roof of his townhouse and blew out the windows, sending water pouring in. With trees down, and power and cell service out, he could not safely evacuate. He spent the night with his roommate and five dogs, surrounded by water.
"We had to stay in the house in 2 inches of water," he said Thursday.
Schools were not spared, either. Jinks Middle School had welcomed children displaced by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico last year. The Panama City school was torn apart by Michael, and Principal Britt Smith choked up as he looked at the decimated building.
"Resiliency is important, and it's an important life message that we all have to learn," Smith said. "But at this point, there's really no making sense. It's just how do we get together, how do we recover?"
Standing in what was once the parish hall of St. Dominic Catholic Church in Panama City, the Rev. Luke Farabaugh spoke of the importance of having gratitude amid the devastation.
"Things, we can replace," he said. "We've seen a lot of signs of hope. I've been telling people ... to have hope."
'There's nothing left here anymore'
What were once towns with white sandy beaches are deserted and strewn with debris.
In Mexico Beach, ground zero of the devastation, receding floodwaters revealed what looked like an apocalyptic mess.
Scott Boutwell tearfully described how his walls collapsed and someone else's furniture swept into his house. The only thing that belonged to him in his home was a briefcase.
"I came here and walked inside ... and there's somebody's else's couch inside. It's not even mine. That's not even my recliner," he told CNN's Brooke Baldwin.
As Boutwell spoke, high-pitched fire alarms beeped continuously in the rubble -- a constant reminder of warnings that came long after the danger hit.
"Our lives are gone here. All the stores, all the restaurants, everything," he said. "There's nothing left here anymore."
Mexico Beach is cut off from the rest of the state, with roads blocked by debris and cell phone service mostly out. Neighbors struggled to find their homes on streets with piles of wood where houses once stood.
"I can't describe it, It's just terrible," Sherri said about the unrecognizable street. "There are so many memories here."
Another neighbor used Baldwin's phone to call her daughter.
"Hallie, it's mama, I'm OK, I'm OK," she said. "It was a lot rougher than we thought, how are you guys? I love you, too."
By Friday morning, cell service was slowly returning to the area.

News and Trends / Report: POS Market to Approach $6 Billion This Year
Report: POS Market to Approach $6 Billion This Year
By Evan Schuman | Print
News: The Point-of-Sale channel is facing a market set to grow another eight percent in 2007, almost double the traditional rate, but still a healthy drop from the double-digit growth of recent years.
A report from the IHL Consulting Group found that there has been an 8 percent increase in the size of the point-of-sale market, which isn't bad for a market that traditionally increased by about 4 percent. Still, it's a healthy drop from the double-digit growth of recent years.
The North American POS market report released March 6 said the largest boosts are coming from new store shipments for specialty retailers, particularly for clothing, home improvement and car aftermarkets. Substantial POS device purchases by Kroger and Wal-Mart were specifically cited as helping to drive the numbers.
IHL also found that many retailers are looking to cut costs and/or take advantage of new services so they are buying new POS units with touch-screen LCDs (which lower power costs).
POS inconsistency is proving costly for top retailers. Click here to read more.
Depending on how the numbers are crunched, Linux may have helped, especially with enthusiastic Linux support from Pep Boys, Burlington Coat Factory and Circuit City. Linux shipments were flat last year, but its percentage of the installed base soared some 44 percent because Linux replaced some POS units based on either MS-DOS or IBM 4690 terminals, IHL President Greg Buzek said in an interview.
"Retailers continue to see the POS as more than just a method for accurately recording sales," Buzek said. "Added functionality at the POS, whether in the form of capabilities like customer returns, inventory look-up, or work force management, helps retailers see POS as the central system in the store, and they are willing to invest in it accordingly."
Buzek also found interesting sharp increases in two Microsoft POS offerings: Windows XP Embedded, which saw shipments increase 242 percent, IHL said, and Windows Embedded for Point of Service (WEPOS), which saw shipments climb by 80 percent.
That is interesting, Buzek said, because it's so strongly influenced by Microsoft license price, which charges $10 more for WEPOS. "That's why XP Embedded is doing better, even though WEPOS is more flexible," Buzek said.

Reminiscent of the beloved novels by Mary Kubica and Jodi Picoult comes a chilling portrayal of a son's addiction and its harrowing effects on both him and his mother from New York Times bestselling author Courtney Cole. SAVING BECK is now available!
I sometimes hate writing reviews when a book is so personal to the author. You want to do their book justice but at the same time you want to be honest. So here is my honest review and I hope it lives up to the book while remaining what I cherish. Honesty.
Saving Beck is a story about one boys drug addiction and a mother who would do anything to save him. It's told in multiple POV's. We have, Natalie, the mom and Beck, the son. After losing her husband and his father to a car wreck they both spiral in their own ways. Natalie becomes extremely depressed and retreats into her own world while shutting everyone in it out. Including her kids. We go back and forth from the present and past to make sense of exactly what went wrong.
Beck has to step up and become like a parent figure to his younger brother and sister. If he doesn't they'll go without eating and never bathe or brush their teeth or comb their hair. While doing this he's having his own personal demons that he can't deal with. He keeps them contained and that only last so long before anger and resentment takes its place.
Natalie is a loving mom. She loves her kids very much. When others would tell her Beck wasn't acting right or even when his brother told her that he caught Beck smoking pot she was in so much denial that refused to believe it. It took something horrible to happen before she opened her eyes and realize how naive she's been all along.
I didn't like Natalie at times. I haven't lost my husband so I can't relate to her on that. I guess I don't understand why you would want to shut out your kids. The very same kids that you and your husband conceived with love to just basically abandoned them. I didn't like that about her. I kept thinking why does she not see what Beck is going through. He was there when his father died but this isn't the Beck show. It's Natalie's. I say that with kindness in my heart. I do understand depression and I know that when you are so low you shut everyone and everything out around you. Everyone is different and I guess that was her way of handling it. I may not approve but I'm not here to judge her.
I also think Natalie is an addict in her own right. Continuing to take Xanax is addicting. She lost days of herself and when she took more than the prescribed dosage she justified it. I really love the mother side of her when she finally woke up. It's that other side that was ugly to read about but powerful.
I felt so bad for Beck. After his dad died it seemed like his mom abandoned him. Sure he had his aunt, uncle and girlfriend to talk to about it but he needed his mom at times and it was sad to read about. He really needed counseling. He went through something extremely traumatic and wasn't properly treated for it. The drugs were basically calling to him. Offering him the numbness he was searching for. I don't think many who was in his exact situation would have passed them up. It's the cliché that gets someone every time. Just take one pill. Just smoke this once. Just inject this one time and you won't be addicted. You can stop anytime. You are still the owner of your body. But that's not true. The drug owns you now and it definitely owned Beck.
Saving Beck is a harrowing story of a boy losing his soul and the mother who could have possibly stopped it. It's about love and loss. How a drug destroys a family and finding redemption once you hit bottom. It's not an easy read. I wanted to throw my kindle a few times because I was so angry at what the characters would do or say. Overall I was addicted to it and I wish there would be a book 2 to answer some other questions I felt that weren't addressed.
"I know," I tell her. Because I do. The accident was so bad, there's no way anyone could've survived. Except for Beck. He lived. But Matt…his injuries were insurmountable. That's what the doctor told me that night.


THIERRY HENRY has criticised Arsenal's recruitment policy.
The Frenchman thinks Arsenal need at least three strikers if they are to have any chance of toppling Chelsea next season.
He's already taken a pop at Olivier Giroud and pin-pointed him as Arsenal's achillies heel.
Henry told The Sun: "Look at teams competing in other countries, particularly Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. They all have three top strikers.
"Sometimes when I was being given a rest, Sylvain Wiltord or Kanu would come in and Dennis [Bergkamp] was always there.

Q: How to center multiple JLabels on one JPanel and how to set the labels text orientation to centered I'm trying to make a JPanel in which text is displayed on two JLabels like a movie or book title.
How can I set two labels to be centered on one JPanel (one above and one below)?
Also, is there any way to set the text alignment within the JLabel to centered like when writing a title to a document, book or movie. (author and title are centered headers)
EDIT: This should remain true in fullscreen mode.
EXAMPLE:
               JLabel1
          Jlabel2withlongertext

A: OK, adding an answer so that others don't waste time here:
As pointed out by Andrew, this can be achieved by combining GridLayout which can be used to create a column of the labels, and setting the text alignment in the labels themselves:
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
// Setting rows to 0 means that new rows are added as needed
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));
panel.add(new JLabel("text", SwingConstants.CENTER));
panel.add(new JLabel("longer text", SwingConstants.CENTER));

GridLayout makes the labels both the same size, so centering the text inside the labels also centers them relative to each other.

The Skinny on Fat Greek
Features Inside Feature
When Francois Provenza set out to design The Fat Greek's Waikiki location, he aimed to present guests with an authentic Mediterranean experience. Everything from the ambiance to the fresh, healthy Greek cuisine has made the Ala Moana Boulevard eatery a hit among visitors and kamaaina.
Elie Provenza with the Salmon Special
Lamb Souvlaki ($11.75)
The Papa Special ($19.95)
Salmon Special ($12.95)
Calamari ($6)
Cook Norman Galinato works the grill in the kitchen.
Hummus ($6)
House Shrimp Special ($12)
Waikiki marks the third location in the chain's collection that also includes stores on Waialae Avenue in Kaimuki and a kiosk in Ala Moana Center. It has now been open for more than six months, and offers customers full-service dining that takes guests around the world without ever having to leave the dining table.
"One big thing is that guests come to us to start their vacation, they'll come to us first," says George Stephanos, Provenza's business partner and adviser, when discussing the eatery's burgeoning popularity. "Then, they'll go somewhere else (to eat), and will come back a few more times before they leave because they fall in love with it. It's like home with a touch of the Mediterranean."
The Fresh Fish ($12.95) has become a guest favorite, and upon Dining Out's recent visit, included fresh-grilled salmon topped with Mediterranean salsa and served with basmati rice, Greek salad and pita bread. The Calamari ($6) appetizer and Shrimp House Special ($12) also have reeled in their fair share of diners as the delicious, plump garlic shrimp are served along with a hearty Greek salad. Stephanos credits Waikiki's success to the restaurant's ability to carry fresh seafood selections that are used for both the regular and rotating special menu offerings.
"We bring in fresh fish at least twice a week from the auction," Stephanos explains. "It's the little touches like that which really add to the experience."
The Fat Greek also offers a variety of entree platters that include numerous menu favorites presented in large portions on a family-style dish. The platters allow diners to build their own unique plates with their favorite items, including those on the Royal Platter ($38) that boasts four lamb chops, eight garlic shrimp, Greek salad, Greek fries, hummus, pita bread, baklava and two sodas.
"Nobody else makes platters like that," says Provenza. "Even when you go to the Mainland, Greek restaurants are very simple — nothing like this."
The Papa Special ($19.95) is another example of how Fat Greek earned the honor of "Best Greek Food" in the 2011 Honolulu Star-Advertiser's Hawaii's Best People's Choice Awards. The dish features a New Zealand rack of lamb marinated in a special house sauce, rosemary and garlic, and comes with Greek salad and zesty potato wedges. The Souvlaki ($11.75) is another Fat Greek favorite that features a choice of chicken, fish or lamb marinated with lemon, olive oil, garlic pepper and Greek oregano and comes served with pita bread, tzatziki sauce and a side salad.
Fat Greek's Waikiki establishment also offers a full wine list, and allows diners to bring their favorite vino for a minimal corkage fee. Stephanos says that he hopes the perks will help "add more to our loyal regulars. The table service allows us to do all this. We're one of the highest-rated restaurants on (food critic Website) Yelp, so we really have to put out a good product."
Windward residents will soon be getting a taste of what Fat Greek has to offer as Provenza states that Fat Greek is coming to Kailua's Enchanted Lake Shopping Center "soon, by year's end."
In the meantime, check out the Waikiki eatery for excellent Greek cuisine and no fuss. Talk about the perfect staycation.

Earlier this year, the Russian government announced the beginning of the 'Decade of Childhood' and launched a series of laws and programs aimed at supporting the family unit.
Both the government and church institutions are directing funds and energy into raising a generation of strong, patriotic, moral and creative Russians.
The results are yet to be seen, but meanwhile, just watch these kids sing the Russian anthem, their young voices surging with pride and love for their homeland.


What appears to have been a race involving two cars in Saddlebrooke resulted in life-threatening injuries for a local resident Patricia Jolicoeur, and the death of her dog. The resident was walking her dog on Yearling near Stallion when she was hit by one of two cars driving side by side at high speed. Both drivers left the scene of the accident but both returned to give themselves up to police. The victim is in a coma and both drivers may be charged with various offences resulting from the accident but alcohol does not seem to have been a factor.
More than two weeks later, Patricia Jolicoeur, the 27 year old St. Lazare woman who was hit by a car in Saddlebrooke on November 29 remains in a coma at the Montreal General Hospital. While Edward Hakim has been charged with dangerous driving and hit and run, the police are still investigating whether the accident was the result of two cars racing. In any case, witnesses say that the cars were driving side by side at a speed well above the speed limit.
By Janury, 2007 Patricia Jolicoeur is out of her coma but seems to have suffered brain damage and is partly paralyzed. The police have not made public any further news after studying the accident scene and no new charges have been laid. Residents and especially the family of the victim are wondering what can be done to force drivers to reduce speed in these residential areas.
In mid-January 2007 the police concluded that there is not enough evidence to lay additional charges in the case of the Patricia Jolicoeur accident in Saddlebrooke. While residents who saw the two cars involved in the accident say they seemed to be racing each other, the police found no corroborating evidence. As a result, the second driver will not be charged and no additional charges will be laid against the driver who hit the young woman and her dog.

Folklore and traditional games
We should always stay a little childlike, because a people's identity is nurtured by its capacity for play and diversion
Saturday 22 August, 2009 | Culture, Sports
Versión en Español Folclore y juegos típicos
In Chilean popular culture the spirit of play is fundamental and is expressed from childhood on in riddles, tongue twisters, singing nursery rhymes while dancing in a circle, songs, turns of phrase and mischievous humor. The things that are used and how people play in traditional games are intimately linked to the earth, to open-air spaces.
Life in the city, audiovisual culture and access to new technologies open up a gap between tradition and globalized ways, but children and adults always go back to the ludic spirit, especially during the holidays that commemorate Chile's independence.
The family goes outside to fly a "volantín" or kite. The biggest kind is called a "pavo" (turkey); the smallest and most popular, "ñecla"; and an improvised one, "cambucha".
They also play with "bolitas" or marbles and with toys called "emboque", a cup-and-ball toy. The emboque is made of wood and shaped like a bell, with a hole in its center. A length of string ties a small stick or bar to the bell and the game consists of "embocar" – throwing up the bell and catching it by fitting the stick into the bell hole.
The "trompo" or top is perhaps the best- known traditional game. It is cone-shaped with a nail protruding from its center. A string is wrapped around it and the trompo is then thrown to the ground to make it spin or dance on the nail. People often say: baila como trompo to describe a good dancer (he/she dances like a top). "Rayuela" or "tiro del tejo" is also played. Tiles are thrown at a cord stretched across the center of a mud rectangle; the tiles that fall closest to the string decide who wins the game, and if a tile falls on the rope, the player wins a double point, or a "quemada".

(Exclusive)'David Makes Man' Star Arlen Escarpeta Talks Joining Season 2, Black Masculinity, and Working with Director Tarell Alvine McCraney
by Betti Halsell
No one could have painted a picture of Black masculinity more accurately than Oprah Winfrey Network's (OWN) TV drama David Makes Man. The series encapsulates the quality of life and its aftermath surrounding men in the Black Community.
Narrated through the lens of a brilliant male character, the audience digests a visual dissertation of unspoken experiences that shape young boys into men. Arlen Escarpeta plays JG, the younger brother of the protagonist. The Oath actor breaks down the message behind the series and the strength of silent love that happens within the masculine gender.
David Makes Man first streamed on HBO max, but OWN has picked up season two. Director Tarell Alvine McCraney (Moonlight) grasped the eerie tones of movies like A Beautiful Mind and Six Sense, and concocted the internal struggle of a caged life as a young minority, raised below the poverty line. The viewers meet David (Kwame Patterson) as a young adult, a silent and solemn adolescent, but his thoughts are amplified enough to take over his reality.
Jonathan Greg nicknamed J.G. (Escarpeta) has a different level of mental compression and unwavering love for his brother. He is the peaceful flute playing above the overpowering orchestra that is David's mind. Escarpeta breaks down that love, and the slew of unspoken nuances that are carefully placed throughout the series, to alert the audience: more was said than just words.

David Makes Man is a story of a young adult with no visual assurance of making out of his situation alive, coming into the power of his mind, and then aligning himself with success. The audience has a personal view of one's personal struggle with their gifts and the application of their power after it's gained. David battles many versions of himself in hopes of finding peace in his internal war.
JG (Escarpeta) represents another angle of warfare, one that includes him and his projection of life to other people. The local cop is currently at a crossroads in his love life. Catching up with an old flame brings out his organic nature. However, he already created a sanctity with his wife and teenage daughter. Escarpeta's character is metaphorically facing a three-headed beast that breathes fire. Between his wife, daughter, and the old flame, someone is guaranteed to be burned by his next decision.
David Makes Man so far has won the Peabody Award of Entertainment. Full episodes are available on OWN's streaming service, with new episodes out on Tuesdays, 9/8c.

There's no link whatsoever. In fact, some entries in /tools/suggested-edits link to the post, others don't. When I click "approved" or "rejected" on those, I can't see a link.

I think something's wrong there: There should always be a way of getting to the post itself. I think the pattern is that edits suggested by anonymous don't have that link, whereas it works on all others.

Budweiser set for last-ditch charge at SAB : Sunday Times
Published Sun, Oct 11 20154:18 AM EDT Updated Sun, Oct 11 201510:39 AM EDT
CNBC.com staff@CNBC
Bottles of SABMiller's Miller Lite and Anheuser-Busch InBev's Budweiser beer.
Anheuser-Busch InBev is likely to increase its offer for U.K. brewer SABMiller to £43-£44 a share ahead of Wednesday's deadline in an effort to clinch what could be the largest takeover of a British company, the Sunday Times reported.
SABMiller last week rejected AB InBev's raised bid to buy the group for £42.15 per share in cash, which would have given it a value of nearly £68 billion ($104.22 billion).
Read More SABMiller rejects AB InBev bid to build monster brewer
Citing sources close to AB InBev, the newspaper reported that Brussels-listed AB InBev is understood to be willing to move closer to £70 billion, but is prepared to walk away if SAB does not make some concessions.
The previous cash proposal represented a premium of approximately 44 percent to SABMiller's closing share price of £29.34 on 14 September. The group said it expected most SABMiller shareholders to accept the higher cash offer. Altria, SABMiller's largest shareholder with a 27 percent stake, said it supported the proposal.

Some of the best locations across the UK & Ireland for when you just want to drive "Somewhere", this is a great list of some of your favourite film shoot locations.
Take a journey through the streets of Glasgow and you will quickly find various Trainspotting locations dotted around the city. Inner city driving may not appeal to everyone, but it is a great way to visit the locations of this trippy cult hit.
Located near the Firhill Stadium, you can visit the working Cafe D'Jaconelli with its bleak retro look which was used in Trainspotting for Renton and Spuds milkshake-speed bonanza. A 25-minute drive outside of central Glasgow and the cafe will take you to a famous greenery.
Rouken Glen Park is where you will see Renton's shooting gallery. This is where Renton and Sick Boy decide to shoot some animals, you may find it's a lot more peaceful when you decide to visit, however.
Whilst you are in Glasgow, be sure to take a peek at the university, whose front gates were used for some scenes in T2 Trainspotting. The majority of T2's filming took place in Edinburgh, where the films are set, see this complete list of filming locations for a Scottish Trainspotting guide.
For all fans of Downton Abbey this drive will be a quaint steady visit that allows you to pass through Downton itself.
Located in rural Oxfordshire, the surrounding Cotswolds countryside will offer some picturesque landscape before you hit the main attraction. Beware small roads and cobbled village streets in this charming small screen hamlet.
Once you're finished enjoying the delights of Downton, head 17 miles north east, along the A40, through a stretch of farmland to Woodstock where the legendary Blenheim Palace is located. Blenheim has been host to filming crews of James Bond's Spectre, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Cinderella, The BFG and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to name but 6 out of the huge list of films to use this magnificent palace. Start with a quiet reminiscent view of Downton Abbey, then enjoy all the film nostalgia that Blenheim has to offer.
Some men are coming to kil us, we're going to kill them first!
Glide through misty moors and emerald pastures as the hills roll past you. This is British rural driving at its finest.
Become a 00 agent as you grace the Scottish roads with your vehicle's presence. You will drive the A82 on the very route Daniel Craig takes to return to his Scottish roots in 2012's Skyfall. This stretch of road allows for uninterrupted smooth driving as the curving hills engulf you, hiding you from the outside world like a true secret agent.
Drive down the actual King's Road on your approach to King's Landing. The Red Keep and home to the monarch's of Westeros, is actually filmed in Croatia, but the road leading to it is in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland.
The Dark Trees were planted in the 18th century and form a ominous archway engulfing the light, creating the shadowed road for you to drive on. Northern Ireland is home to lots of Game of Thrones filming locations so after you visit the dark trees, head 30 miles south to Antrim near Lough Neagh, to visit Shane's Castle. The drive south will pass through luscious countryside, approaching the great Lough which spans for many misty miles. This castle was the backdrop for the jousting tournament when The Mountain didn't take too kindly to losing and his horse paid the price for the loss.
Broadchurch took the UK by storm, involving every household in a southern murder mystery with a beautiful coastal backdrop.
This drive is a 40 minute excursion along the coast to spoil your eyes with ocean views, as you head for one of the most crime-ridden fictional towns in the UK. Drive to the headland when you get there to stare over the bay and brood as you attempt to work out the most recent murder case.
The West Bay has a complete list of Broadchurch filming locations spanning the East Bay and surrounding areas for a complete immersive murder mystery road trip.
Back to Scotland once more, the Glenfinnan Viaduct plays host to an area famous for aerial shots in Harry Potter, specifically two key scenes.
The first being when Harry and Ron joyride the flying Ford, their landing zone can be seen in this area. In addition to that, in The Order of the Phoenix, this is the famous bridge in which the Hogwarts Express travels on.
For your driving efforts, you will also be treated to an unchanging landscape coupled with Loch Shiel, a 17.5 mile long body of water that is a sight to be marvelled.
If you head an hour south east, you will hit Glencoe, a true Scottish marvel and home to landscape shots for the hit show Outander.
For a scenic driving route, you cannot beat the Peak District's stretches of fields, with winding roads piercing the infinite greenery. Home to many regal film locations like Pride and Prejudice and The Duchess, the Peak District has a lot to offer for film fans.
Once you have travelled through such wonders as the Snake Pass, head to the Howden Reservoir for a true classic film location. The Howden Reservoir and its dams played host to many of the scenes in the classic Dam Busters 1954 film. They also have a dedicated museum to the real life Dam Busters as well as film information for all cinema buffs to feast upon.
Be sure to check out all the Peak District has to offer for film fans and some of the best scenic driving England has to offer.
This location requires you to be toured by an external party, however the drive through Ireland to get there is one of wonder.
If you are in Northern Ireland enjoying the Game of Thrones road trip anyway, it will be a huge, yet rewarding, road trip down through Ireland to get a taste of a galaxy far far away. The N70 around Skellig delves through thick woodland, meaning your extended road trip is going to indulge your eyes in true green luxury.
In fact, on your route south, why not stop at the Cliffs of Moher, for more Harry Potter goodness courtesy of The Half Blood Prince, taking the scenic coastal route south towards the home of Luke Skywalker.
Travelling around this island will reveal various places of Macbeth's downfall into madness as portrayed by Michael Fassbender in 2015.
The Fairy Pools on the island provide a majestic and foreboding setting in which Banquo is slain by Macbeth, and shows the true magnificence of the island. Couple this with The Quiraing, a mountainous, rugged and rocky terrain where Macbeth fights the early war before he is deemed Thane of Cawdor.
Skye offers an unruly landscape, that should be tackled on any UK roadtrip of filming locations.
Returning to another inner city tour, Cardiff has been home to Doctor Who and it's spin off series, Torchwood, for many years.
Cardiff Bay and the city streets all hold hosts of Doctor Who memories, as well as the wider surrounding area, making for a great day tour of all the locations. Caerphilly Castle is only 20 minutes drive out of Cardiff and has been used in Doctor Who multiple times including The End of Time episode, where The Master and The Time Lords force The Doctor to choose, in a huge season finale.
For a full breakdown of all Doctor Who filming locations in and around Cardiff, see this handy guide to create a full TARDIS-worthy Welsh exploration.


In many interview the following question is asked : "What is the difference between three layer architecture and the three tier architecture?" Would you please discuss it with example?
Before moving to understand what is difference between 3 Tier Architecture and 3 Layer architecture lets have an overview about what is Tier and What is Layer ???
The layers reside on the same machine where the tiers can reside on different machines.
Layer communicates with each other either by Value or by Reference. However the Tiers could be on different machines, so they communicate by Value only – as serialized objects.
Layer is logical separation of code and Tier is physical separation of code, In other words we can say Tiers are the physical deployment of layers. Or a Tier becomes a Layer if it could be physically separated from the Layers it consumes.
N-Tier Architecture is a physical structuring, while a N-Layer Architecture is a logical structuring.
Now coming to 3 Layer Architecture and 3 Tier Architecture after getting an idea about Layer and Tier.
In 3 layer architecture, the Database Access Layer (DAL), Business Logic Layer (BLL) and User Interface Layer (UIL) resides as 3 different project and the output of these 3 projects (.dll file) must be together in the same server or on same machine in order for the system to run.However in 3 tier architecture, the Database Access Layer (DAL), Business Logic Layer (BLL) and User Interface Layer (UIL) reside as 3 different projects. But each of the projects can be deployed at the different server or at the different machines and distributed functionality is explored.
In 3 layer architecture DAL, BLL and UIL can work on same machine where as in a 3 Tier architecture a client in on one machine, the application Server is hosted in another machine and the database server resides in another machine i.e. Three-tier is a client–server architecture in which the User Interface, Business Logic , Data Storage and Data Access are developed and maintained as independent modules on separate platforms.
3 Layer Architecture will improve readability and reusability, Minimizes the application changes due to impact of the changes in other layers. While 3 Tier Architecture has all advantages of 3 layer + scalability as application will be deployed in different machines so load will be shared among the tiers and scalability will increase.
please add real time example for interfaces in the interview question series.

"Unable to serialize the session state.

The same restriction applies if similar serialization is done by the custom session state store in 'Custom' mode."
Where do i put the serializable in the code.. Please help me.TQ so much for your help.


For many people, the cost of their home insurance premiums may seem to grow year after year. This equates to an ever tightening strain on many homeowners' annual budgets, and can be a real difficulty. However, it may actually possible to reduce the cost of your home insurance premiums considerably, if you know how to go about it. These tips will help you try to reduce your rates!
Consider buying your home and auto insurance from the same provider if you can find one that offers you the right deal on both. In looking for cheap home insurance quotes you'll find that many insurance providers are happy to offer you discounts of around 10-15% should you purchase at least two types of insurance coverage from their company. However, you still need to shop around and make sure that the combined cost is lower that what it would be if you bought to separate policies from different companies.
There are many discounts available to you if you bother to ask for them. For instance, you can claim a discount on your premiums if you have smoke alarms installed, or if you have additional burglary and fire detection systems in your home. Also, things such as fire extinguishers and deadbolts can earn you a discount. Some insurance providers offer discounts to seniors or people over a certain age as well.
It is very foolish to pay for coverage on risks and perils that are never going to affect you, such as earthquake or volcano coverage in an area where this kind of natural disaster could never occur. Alternatively, if you don't possess any jewelry of note, you may want to exclude this from your policy.
It's a good idea to ask your home insurance provider about the measures you can take to protect your home, thus making it cheaper to insure. For example, certain renovations may reduce the risk of your roof being blown away during a gale or heavy storm, and your insurance provider may reward you for that. Also, updating certain things, such as the old heating systems or outdated electrical wiring, which can reduce the risk of fire in your home and increase your safety, can also reduce your insurance premiums.
Every year, just before you come to renew your home insurance policy it is a good idea to dig the old one out and have a good read through it. Check all the details and if you find anything that is out of date, call your provider and tell them about the changes in your circumstances. This could lead to a reduction in your overall premiums costs, and will ultimately ensure that you're coverage is valid and up to date.
Some home insurance providers are put off by certain kinds of risk. Owning certain kinds of dangerous pets (certain breeds of dog, domesticated wild animals, poisonous or dangers reptiles, etc) can actually increase your insurance costs. Home improvements such as swimming pools, hot tubs and trampolines can also increase your costs. You need to make sure that you read and understand the small print in the "Conditions" section of your policy in order to make yourself aware of any exclusions and high risk designations which will ultimately raise your insurance premiums.
Ultimately, you may find that you can reduce your home insurance premiums by following a few simple tips and shopping to find cheaper insurance rates. Contact your broker and check online to see what home insurance rates might be available to you that could save you on your premiums.

There are now 10 times more obese children than there was 40 years ago, a new study has found.
Leading charities have called for the government to do more to tackle the problem after a World Health Organisation report found a tenfold increase in global childhood obesity.
The two-year study into childhood BMI revealed the number of obese boys had increased from six million to 74 million between 1975 and 2016, with the number of girls increasing from five million to fifty million.
The biggest rise has been witnessed in the developing world; in the US and Europe rates of obesity have remained steady, the report said.
At the same time, campaigners warned the NHS still spends £5.1 billion a year on obesity-related conditions.
According to the study, British girls have the sixth highest obesity rate in Europe (73rd globally), while boys were 18th in Europe (84th Europe).
The study calls for the government to do more to limit high-calorie products that attract children.
Clear food labels on salt, sugar and fat content are needed to help consumers make 'healthy choices', the study said, as well as taxation and tough restrictions on marketing of junk food.
The researchers also said better nutrition at home and at school is needed and more physical exercise to prevent a generation from becoming adults at greater risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancers due to excessive weight.
WHO member Fiona Bull, one of the authors of the report, said: 'We are surrounded by environments which market unhealthy, high fat, high sugar, high calorie food.
The report, published as part of World Obesity Day, compiled data from 31.5 million children around the globe.
Charities said junk food brands are spending 27.5 times more on advertising their products than the amount available for the Government's Change4Life healthy eating campaign, according to the Obesity Healthy Alliance analysis.
The OHA is calling on Government to close existing loopholes to restrict children's exposure to junk food marketing across all media, including on TV prior to the 9pm watershed, citing a recent study by Cancer Research UK that found that such adverts make children 'hungry' and 'tempted'.
OHA spokeswoman Caroline Cerny said: 'Junk food companies are spending tens of millions of pounds a year on promoting their products. Government healthy eating campaigns can't possibly compete.
A government spokesman said: 'Current advertising restrictions in the UK on junk food are among the toughest in the world, including a ban on advertising junk food in children's media.

The RFC Editor has announced a new document, RFC 6070, with test vectors for PKCS5 PBKDF2. The document grow out of my implementation of SCRAM for GNU SASL. During interop testing, more than one other implementation turned out to have mistakes in the PBKDF2 implementation. It didn't help that there weren't any stable test vectors for PBKDF2, so that we could do black-box testing of our PBKDF2 implementations against well-known and stable test vectors. Debugging this was time consuming. The document addresses this problem.
Briefly, the PBKDF2 is the state of the art way to convert a password string into a cryptographic binary key. There are many ways to design such an algorithm. To understand why PBKDF2 is designed the way it is we need some basic understanding. The typical attack you would be concerned with is if someone compromises your authentication servers and steals the credential database. This is what happened with the recent Gawker attack, where passwords were apparently stored in clear text.
The first security improvement compared to storing passwords in clear text is to only store a hashed or encrypted form of the password. Hashing is preferable over encryption in this context, because with encryption it is possible to go back to the unencrypted form (if you know the key) whereas with a hash it is computationally infeasible to do so.
The downside of hashing is that it is impossible to be compatible with all kind of authentication systems: the hash of the password in the database needs to be computed using the same algorithm as the system will be using. Unfortunately there are many different schemes out there to do password hashing, including the old Unix crypt(3) algorithm and the Windows LM-hash. You normally never know in advance what kind of systems your hashed credential database needs to work for, so you have to pick some set of algorithms and hope for the best.
The next security improvements are iterations and salting.
Iterations means to run the hash function not once, but hundreds or even thousands of times, on the input data (e.g., password). The extra time is hardly noticeable for the user, but for an attacker who is testing an entire dictionary of common passwords against your hash, making the work cost thousand times higher quickly makes the attack vector computationally infeasible.
Salting means to include something other than the password in the input to the hash function, typically a random string. Without salting, a pre-computed rainbow table would provide a dictionary attack against all hashed password databases (one rainbow table per hashing algorithm). By using a sufficiently long and random salt, a rainbow table for one system is not applicable to another system. Since generating a rainbow table is time consuming, this adds another barrier to the attacker.
PBKDF2 combines these three concepts — hashing, iteration and salting — into one construct, and it is designed flexible enough so that it can work on any pseudo-random function. In practice, I've only ever seen HMAC-SHA1 be used.
Some final words on the publication behind RFC 6070: Out of my earlier publications, this was the document that (by a large margin) spent the least time in the IETF process. You see various milestones of the document in the RFC 6070 datatracker history page. The time in the publication process was from 2010-08-09 to 2011-01-06. One month was in the AUTH48 state, of which the initial 20 days were waiting for me to respond. Thank you to my sponsoring AD, Sean Turner, for making this possible!

How does it compare to SRP?
As you can see, it does use hashing and salting. PBKDF2 is better because it uses HMAC-SHA1 instead of SHA1. (The SRP specification allows use of HMAC-SHA1, although it would be incompatible.) The exponentiation is similar to iteration, although I'm not sure which of PBKDF2 with reasonable iteration count and the SRP verifier-generation would take the longest to compute. Left as an exercise for the reader.
A significant practical disadvantage is that you need to re-generate the verifier if you change usernames, requiring access to the password. This was, incidentally, one of the serious problems DIGEST-MD5 had.

In an ideal world, most of our energy needs would be met by cheap, simple, yet elegant devices like Potenco's revolutionary pull-cord generator (PCG). We've raved about this power generator before and - during our brief romp through this year's WIRED Nextfest - had the chance to meet Colin Bulthaup, the startup's ambitious CEO, and test the device out for ourselves.
With very little effort, we were quickly able to generate enough energy to power half an hour of talk time on a cell phone and 2 hours' worth of play time on an iPod Shuffle (see below the fold for a side-by-side comparison). According to Bulthaup, a single minute of pulling generated enough energy to also power 1 hour of LED flashlight use or to take 35 pictures with a conventional Nikon SLR camera. Its output typically ranges between 12W and 15W, with a maximum of 20W.
Now that it has successfully been incorporated into the One Laptop Per Child Foundation's (OLPC) XO "$100 laptop," Bulthaup told us that the company's next objective was bringing it over to Bangladesh and, from there, other developing countries in Asia. And though it is mainly intended as a cheap power source for individuals living in off-grid situations, Bulthaup eventually hopes to see it used in a broad array of portable electronic devices in developed countries, such as the U.S.

Two books by Mariken Wessels
The last artist book Mariken Wessels published was a narrative of found material she discovered in an Amsterdam shop. Elisabeth - I Want To Eat is an assemblage of old photographs, postcards and letters that describe a young woman's life budding and then, rather shockingly, leading towards depression and, what I read as, an implied suicide. It is a reconstruction which blends some fact with loads of interpretation.
In one of the letters translated from Dutch, Elisabeth's aunt, in an attempt to help Elisabeth think differently about her life writes, "But unpicking yourself, that can be done, why am I doing this, couldn't I do it better (for me and for everyone else) in a slightly different way? Each little thing builds the whole. In accordance with the same system as all matter is built up from molecules and atoms." This suggestion of parsing and twisting the events of her life is also the strategy Wessels employs in these works. We grapple with trying to understand this life presented to us through only a few pieces of ephemera which insists that our own twist of psychology intervene.
Wessels' newest artist book, Queen Ann. P.S. Belly Cut Off from Alauda Publications is a look into a life of a woman named Anneka.
Anneka appears to be a woman haunted by loneliness and obesity yet she puts forth a fun-loving and warm, if at times slightly demented, demeanor. When we are shown recent images of her, she (or the artist) has painted their surfaces with adornments such as brightly colored hats or veils or cut out parts of herself in the pictures with shears. In some, she adds a second coat of lipstick or nail-polish that transforms her into an over-the-top eccentric where we might question her sanity.
In one image from which the title refers, she writes, "In a way I really do feel like a "Queen." I think that fits. Although lacking the wealth but perhaps like our image of famous queens, Ann is also slightly lonely, unsatisfied, and displays vengeful violent streaks which in this case, she plays out on her own image rather than others. She seems to mock even her own ideas of beauty in how she "improves" the picture makes herself presentable - all ribbons and bows with make-up dripping from her eyes.
In both Queen Ann and Elisabeth, sexuality is an overt presence. In Elisabeth a suite of scratched nude photos (think G.P. Fieret) is presented, perhaps made as self-portraits or by a lover. In Queen Ann, photography as a somewhat transgressive act is also included - that of what appears to be a middle interlude of stills from a sex film (with Ann as the star?). This is followed by a more recent image of Ann holding an image of herself as a young attractive teenager - the weight of wishing for the past is felt.
Although melancholy in overall tone, Ann's unique character and playfulness outshine her underlying problems with aging and self image. The last images, shot on super-8 film, show her running and twirling, arms outspread, in a forest. A smile is sensed through the grainy and blurred image just before she disappears behind a stand of trees.
As with many contemporary books from The Netherlands, both of these are beautiful objects. The care and attentiveness to "the book" is felt but never trumps the content. In Elisabeth, English translations from Dutch type-written on green tissue paper are loosely laid in are a wonderful touch, and Queen Ann includes a sealed glassine envelope of 4x6 inch snapshots. It isn't clear if this last element, the glassine, is meant to be torn open or whether the images are meant to be viewed through the translucent paper (the metaphoric haze of memory?). You decide. Maybe in that case, collectors should buy two.
