Currently running the latest ISPconfig on debian 6 fully updated and patched etc.
but how the hell do you get rid of these apache errors on restart/reload config?
maybe it's something overlooked in ISPconfig?
Maybe it's a great solution you can set default site for ip/hostname/wildcard somewhere?
I already passed this thread, but now when i surf to the server hostname / ips I go to the first website it finds in its configuration?
can't I set up a default site to show when IP/hostname is entered?
Thats the normal behaviour of the apache webserver.
to ensure that it is the first site in alphabet on this IP or *.


A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
A man has been arrested in connection with gas explosion at a flat in Glasgow which police are treating as attempted murder.
Officers from Police Scotland were called to a property on Kennedar Drive, Elderpark, at around 7.05am this morning.
A 26-year-old man has now been arrested.
Yesterday the blast injured a 26-year-old man and a woman, aged 30, inside the property.
The man was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remains in a critical condition with burn injuries.
Superintendent Craig Smith, Greater Glasgow Police Division, said: "A 26 year old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and enquiries are continuing."
"Enquiries carried out so far have revealed that the explosion was as a result of a deliberate act within the flat."
"The flat has been significantly damaged, however, the impact of the blast did not affect other properties in the block and the 23 people who had been evacuated have been allowed back into their homes."

Expert insights Buying No Santa Claus rally for pre-Christmas auction vendor hopefuls
No Santa Claus rally for pre-Christmas auction vendor hopefuls
Jonathan Chancellor
| Dec 23,2018
The vendors hoping for a Santa Claus rally in the ailing property auction market were mostly left disappointed after their weekend auctions.
Buyers traditionally tune out in the lead up to Christmas given all the distractions.
A few homes will be sold today, Christmas Eve, but most estate agents have headed off on their long holiday hibernation.
Ofcourse some buyers will be back in the market keen for Boxing Day-style discounts from anxious vendors who've committed elsewhere and are desperate for a sale.
The last minute pre-Christmas weekend auction offerings numbered just a dozen or so around most capitals, rather than the thousands that are regularly on offer most Saturdays of the year across the nation.
Estate agent Adam Docking recently suggested pre-Christmas listings were "a calculated risk."
"The weekend is usually very, very soft the Saturday before Christmas," Mr Docking told News Ltd.
However the very last scheduled auction of 2018 found a buyer yesterday in Hampton Park, in Melbourne's outer south east.
There were 11 interested parties when the five bedroom late 1980s house at 3 Candlebark Close sold under the hammer at the 2pm Sunday afternoon auction, just two days out from Christmas.
"A local first time buyer was the top bidder," said Elias Samili, the selling agent from Rexhepi Real Estate.
"The vendors got $13,000 over reserve," he added after the bidding kicked off at $470,000.
There was just a shortened three week auction campaign following its recent renovation.
The agent had previously told the Herald Sun that the auction date was set to suit their religious commitments, and an auction process had been selected to ensure there was an "unconditional sale this year."
Hampton Park median House prices finished off the year at $550,000, according to realestateVIEW, having kicked off the year at $500,000.
Another first home buyer secured a $350,000 Belmont house (above) with big plans for a renovation since its currently unlivable.
The three-bedroom house at 5 Donald Street was marketed as an opportunity to renovate or detonate by the McGrath Geelong agent Ricky Forte.
It had a $329,000 to $349,000 price guidance.
There was also a sale in Melbourne's Westmeadows when 22 Swan Avenue fetched $675,000 through Barry Plant Gladstone Park.
The price guide for the four bedroom, two bathroom house had been $610,000 to $650,000.
Another Saturday auction hopeful that sold was 4 Korab Place, Roxburgh Park.
Set on a 580 sqm block, the house has an indicative price guide of $540,000 to $580,000.
It fetched $625,000.
The four bedroom two bathroom house was marketed as having a crescent driveway with room for seven vehicles.
It had been a $200,000 building project in 2010 after the block was bought six years earlier for $154,000.
All up there was 32 percent success rate in Melbourne from around 200 offerings over the past week, mostly held mid-week.
Sydney had some 150 offerings over the past week which saw a fatigued 38 percent success rate in the final sales week.
There was a $925,000 Merrylands sale in Sydney.
The three bedroom home at 1 Montrose Avenue sold through Starr Partners, one of just a handful scheduled for Sydney weekend auction.
Queensland had an 11 percent success rate from the 95 auctions scheduled over the past week.
Canberra saw just 8 percent of its 30 listings find a buyer over the past week.
Adelaide was the most resilient with a 41 percent clearance rate from its 60 auctions over the past week, according to CoreLogic.
Its sales included 15 Stephens Avenue, Torrensville, a four bedroom house set on a generous sized 1100 sqm holding which sold for an undisclosed price.
The 1930's Tudor home was marketed as likely to "respond well to renovations or subdivision subject to council consent."
Auction volumes will be negligible now until early February, excepting in coastal locations.
Agents have listed dozens of fresh beachside offerings with many set for late January auction, especially on the Australia Day weekend.
Everything from a bathing box at Portsea, with $450,000 to $495,000 hopes; a 37th floor Surfers Paradise sub-penthouse to a vacant waterfront Noosa Waters building block.
In Western Australia there's a Port Geographe waterfront 838 sqm vacant block with direct access to Geographe Bay set for January 19 auction.
Some beach offerings have been snapped up as soon as they hit the market including a beach shack at Berrara on the NSW far south coast that was listed at $1.75 million
The home that sits on a 1,138 sqm beachfront block quickly went under contract last week.
The Ray White Surfers Paradise Group is gearing up for its annual auction program The Event, its flagship residential auction on Monday, January 28.
"The Australia Day long weekend will be the prime time for buyers as inquiries are traditionally up 60 per cent during January and we're expecting next year to be no different," Ray White Surfers Paradise CEO Andrew Bell said.

Innovation turns discarded food into renewable energy source
The competition called on students to form small groups to present innovative projects that focussed on an aspect of the United Nation's Global Sustainable Development Goals…reports Asian Lite News
A team of computer science students from Canadian university Dubai (CUD) has developed a smart solution that aims to reduce food waste by converting it into a source of renewable energy. The technology, known as Digi-Bin, has been created to support the UAE's national sustainable consumption initiative, ne'ma, which aims to half food waste by 2030.
Developed under the banner, 'Resolving food waste while rewarding you', the Digi-Bin is intended to incentivize waste recycling by helping consumers to save on their electricity bills. The solution collects discarded food products and transports them to a biogas plant to be converted into biofuel, which can then be redirected into the power grid. Users are rewarded with carbon credits, which can be applied as savings coupons on their electricity bills.
The Digi-Bin was first conceived by the team of Zahab Khan, Prateek Mishra, and Denver Dias, in response to a competition called 'Future Disruptors', organized by technology firm, Software AG. The competition called on students to form small groups to present innovative projects that focussed on an aspect of the United Nation's Global Sustainable Development Goals.
Revealing their thinking behind the project, Zahab said, "We were inspired by an article we read that explained how food waste was costing the UAE around six billion dirhams each year. We wanted to create something that would help tackle this, and that everyone in the UAE could contribute to. The solution involves managing food waste at a household level and actively encouraging users to contribute towards sustainability through the award of carbon credits."
Explaining more about the technology behind the solution, Denver said, "The Digi-Bin uses multiple sensors, which work alongside the Internet of Things to connect the user through a smart app. With the Software AG dashboard, the weight of the food deposited into the Digi-Bin can instantly be calculated and displayed to the user's mobile app. A filled Digi-Bin is transported to a biogas plant to be converted into biofuel and any food waste that is not suitable for this process is segregated to produce fertilizers."
The CUD students were selected among a handful of teams to showcase their prototype at the 'Future Disruptors Zone' during this year's GITEX, where they demonstrated their commitment to tackling the global sustainability challenge. Prateek explained, "The hypothesis of the project is that food waste is generated and populated from all corners of the earth. Our generation has been gifted with substantial advancements in technology, which can be applied to pursue sustainability, and this is the essence of our invention."
Determined to see their project come to life in the near future, Zahab, Prateek, and Denver are now working to refine the technology and build the professional networks that will help take their innovation forward. Zahab said, "At the moment we're still relying on user-segregation of waste, so we would like to build in artificial intelligence to make the process easier. We also hope to see a growth in the number of facilities that can convert the waste into fuel, to help the innovation reach its potential in re-using food waste in a sustainable way."
Reflecting on their inspiration for the project, Denver concluded, "Ultimately, we hope that the Digi-Bin can contribute to one of the main goals of the national ne'ma initiative, to mobilize individuals and local communities to take collective action. By promoting new, positive behaviors, we can help contribute to the UN SDG target of reducing food loss and waste by 50% by 2030."

The college national championship (not that one) is this weekend, in Seattle
Jan. 7, 2023 at 6:00 am Updated Jan. 7, 2023 at 2:05 pm
David Gutman
Seattle Times staff reporter
The eyes of the sporting world turn to the college national championship.
The competitors have trained most of their young lives for this event. Hour after hour of rigorous repetition until their plays, their moves are all but muscle memory.
Teammates will rely on each other: You do your job, I'll do mine.
Coaches set strategy. Plays and tricks are intricately designed, meticulously planned; counterattacks considered. But at some point, things will go awry. The best-laid plans will lead to improvisation.
We are, of course, talking about the PanAmerican Intercollegiate Team Chess Championships, a four-day event concluding this weekend in downtown Seattle.
It is the nation's most important college chess tournament with 84 four-person teams competing from 48 schools. The competition, which began in 1946, drew more teams this year than any year since 1976, the height of the Bobby Fischer-inspired chess boom.
Twelve teams this year feature players with average ratings above 2400, placing them among the elite of the elite.
Despite the similarities, there are some differences between the collegiate chess national championship and the College Football Playoff National Championship, which will be played Monday.
The football game between the University of Georgia and TCU will be played in a raucous, 70,000-person stadium. The chess tournament is being played in a whisper-quiet hotel ballroom.
It would be tough, in fact, to find a crowded ballroom as quiet as the one at the downtown Seattle Westin this weekend.
It is packed with hundreds of people. Not one of them speaks. The only sounds are the occasional cough and the hushed click of dozens of digital chess clocks being gently punched.
Over the course of roughly four hours Friday morning, into early afternoon, 336 college students played 168 simultaneous games of chess.
Players sat at the boards, rapt in concentration. Others milled about, clearing their minds as their opponents pondered. They looked at other games, letting their minds shift wavelength, searching for inspiration.
Each player had 90 minutes to complete their moves, plus 30 seconds added every time they made a move. A player's clock only ticks when it's their turn.
In the foyer, out of earshot, players discussed their matches, rehashing where things might have gone differently. They searched for blunders, sacrifices, skewers, passed pawns.
Like any sport, with play-action passes, pick and rolls, power plays, chess has its own lingo, indecipherable to outsiders.
"I had to play F6, it's the whole point of my position."
"There might be an issue after G2."
"I was down material but threatening to fork everything."
They discussed openings: Alekhine's Defense, the King's Indian Attack, the Caro-Kann.
Players go in with a plan, a much-studied opening sequence that can take them 15 or 20 moves into the game. But a strategy will only take you so far.
"Everybody has a plan," Mike Tyson once said, "until they get punched in the mouth."
There are, an old saying goes, more possible games of chess than there are atoms in the universe.

"You get to a new position, then you have to start thinking," said Liem Le (favorite openings: Catalan, Queen's Gambit), coach of the chess program at Webster University in St. Louis.
Webster, one of only half a dozen or so schools in the country that gives out chess scholarships, is as close to a favorite as there is at the tournament.
"People ask me all the time, how many moves can you calculate," Le said.
More than most.
Le, who emigrated from Vietnam to play chess at Webster, took over as coach two years ago. He is a super grandmaster, an informal title distinguishing such players from regular old grandmasters, the highest formal title in chess.
He is the 22nd-ranked player in the world, one of only a few dozen in history with a ranking higher than 2700, and a former speed chess world champion.
He plays chess with his students every day, but before one of his own tournaments, he studies for weeks, looking for weaknesses in his own game and his opponents'.
As in football, teams scout each other, searching online databases of old games, looking for patterns, tendencies.
Nick Pedretti (favorite opening: the London System), a player from California State University, Northridge, said players will scout their opponents using records from chess.com, the leading site to play online. Some players, trying to outmaneuver each other before the game even begins, will change their chess.com usernames, trying to make their game history inaccessible.
"I wouldn't say it's dirty to scrub your chess.com account, but it's kind of weird," Pedretti said. "My opponent scrubbed his account."
But his opponent also expressed surprise when Pedretti switched up the order of his moves from the way he'd played in past recorded games.
"You have to be versatile," he said. "I'm doing less theory, trying to be more intuitional."
Another way it's different from football: Chess uniforms are a bit haphazard. Some teams have matching garb, some do not.
The University of Chicago had matching maroon and white letterman jackets, each player's name stamped on the back: Balakrishnan, Chandran, Zinski. Stanford's team had microfiber fleece jackets; their Friday opponent, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley — a perennial powerhouse — had polos and hoodies.
Others wore tie-dye, a Barcelona jersey, sweats.
Ingus Stegis (favorite opening: the Ruy Lopez), a sophomore at the University of Southern California, stood out in a trim gray plaid suit, white shirt, black tie. It's the biggest college chess tournament, he reasoned.
"It felt right to wear a suit and be nicely dressed, it felt appropriate," he said. He also won his first two games, Thursday and Friday, wearing the suit. "Maybe it's an intimidation factor, a psychological thing."
The University of Washington sent four teams to the tournament.
Pranav Senthilkumar (favorite openings: the Sicilian, the Benoni), a UW junior, was taught chess by his grandmother and has been playing for about a decade.
It's both stressful and allows him to relax. It's competitive but also enjoyable.
"It teaches you a lot of different skills," he said. Resilience, time management and "being able to calmly evaluate situations."
Much like the college football national championship, the collegiate chess championship is broadcast live.
You can watch a select few matches, between some of the highest-rated players, streaming on Twitch or chess.com.
Cassidy Sparks (favorite opening: the Stonewall attack), a Howard University junior majoring in political science and sociology, started playing chess when she was young, abandoned it in high school but rediscovered it recently. This is her first big, in-person tournament.
She is well-positioned to parse the differences between contact sports and chess. She's also on the Howard rugby team. The differences, she said, are obvious.
But the similarities are there.
"The aggressiveness of the opponent, the team aspect, just the tenacity you have to have," Sparks said.
She'd held her own, but lost her Friday morning match.
"Honestly," Sparks said, "it felt like getting tackled out there."

So that was the first requirement done. Now for the second requirement, Jekyll has brilliant support for a list of articles, so that was done from the beginning.
Now on to a photo gallery! This was an interesting challenge, since I wanted to be able to easily update it from a set of directories containing photos and potentially metadata, and it had to integrate with the jekyll site (theme, header/footer, html metadata, etc.) and the search feature to come. The workflow had to be [directory with photos and config files] –> [html output with jekyll frontmatter] –> [build with jekyll] –> [final static site].
Static sites can feel dynamic! If you're willing to perform the CMS side of things locally, and regenerate and push the site when you're done, this can be a simple and powerful way of managing a site. Note that this wouldn't scale well if multiple users need to update things on the site, or the site needs changes fairly often.
You don't need to reinvent the wheel for everything! Since building the site I've found many css frameworks that would have made initial development so much quicker.
Lunr js is amazing! As long as the index isn't too huge, it works really well for fast searching on a site.
There are many software gems hidden away online if you search hard enough, Sigal being a notable example. They might not always be exactly what you need, but the beauty of open source software is that it's often possible to hack/configure/customize it to suit.

Judge Roberts and Playboy
by Steve Ray on August 17, 2005
Roberts and Playboy: More Unwelcome Surprises From Bush Nominee?
WASHINGTON, D.C., August 12, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – More so than a man with passionate convictions, even be they contrary to their own, most hard and fast conservatives fear a man without apparent or firmly held convictions. And it seems that as the small bits of often seemingly inconsequential information about Judge John Roberts Jr.'s willingness to argue or help with morally dubious cases trickles out into the public consciousness, conservative fears about Roberts are growing.
Most special interest organizations, excepting far left extreme groups such as NARAL, have kept a judicious and thoughtful silence, suspending judgement about Roberts until sufficient information has been gathered. Last week, however, it was revealed that Roberts had donated time to a homosexual 'rights' activist group, prepping their representatives for oral arguments before the Supreme Court. By all accounts, many conservatives have been eager to forgive Roberts his temporary lapse from the dictates of the conservative credo. Others, however, have found it necessary to express their discomfiture with Roberts' reported lack of reservation, to assist with the case.
Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus and former presidential candidate for the Constitution Party, whose attitude so far towards Roberts can be described as skeptical but with a turn for the hopeful, last week issued a statement titled "Roberts' assistance to homosexual activists in key supreme court case should cause conservatives to withhold support pending further information." In his statement Phillips complained that by all accounts the new information indicated that "Judge Roberts apparently had no moral objection to using his skills to advance the homosexual agenda." He added that "It is another example of how Judge Roberts seems to go out of his way to pander to those on the Left who might otherwise oppose him."
"We do not need another Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O'Connor, or David Souter," said Phillips.
Now it has come to light, according to the conservative news source Human Events, that besides aiding in the case that homosexual activists have called the "single most important positive ruling in the history of the gay rights movement," Roberts also lent a hand in 1999 preparing Playboy representatives for oral arguments before the Supreme Court. Just like the homosexual case, the amount of time that Roberts dedicated to the case was minimal. "In the 3-and-a-half to 4 years we worked on that case, John may have devoted about a dozen hours at most," said Roberts' ex-colleague Corn-Revere.
In that case Playboy initiated and ultimately won a challenge to the 1996 ruling that required television stations broadcasting pornographic material to either scramble the signals or to restrict their broadcast to times when it was likely that children would be watching. The great irony in both of the cases is that the justice who Bush had frequently promised would be the model for future Supreme Court nominees, Antonin Scalia, was amongst the dissenting-often passionately so-judges. Having Scalia and Roberts pitted against one another, no matter how distantly, is cause for conservative uneasiness.
But in the similar fashion that the Los Angeles Times excused Roberts after reporting on his involvement in the gay 'rights' case, saying that his involvement was perfectly in tune with his non-ideological jurisprudence, Roberts' ex-colleague Revere explained "I never had a sense that John's work for any clients necessarily represented his own personal views…He was being a professional and he was helping out colleagues." He added, "Just like others in the firm, he was generally available for advice if something came up in his field."
And in fact many conservatives are seemingly willing to admit that Roberts may not prove nearly as great a disaster as Justice Souter, who conservative columnist Ann Coulter has been wont to compare him to. Most seem only to be concerned that Bush has once again taken the middle road instead of delivering on his promises to his constituents, and are pointing out that that is where the real tragedy of Roberts' nomination may ultimately lie. "[Bush] has given us a Supreme Court nomination that will placate no liberals and should please no conservatives," said Coulter in her July 20th column.

Is it possible to forgive infidelity beloved boyfriend or men? Surely every girl or woman asked myself or someone else this common in our time is the question. Many people say forgiveness is easy, but to forget the betrayal harder.
Faced with this situation, the woman immediately ran to her friend. She begins to accuse boyfriend or husband is that he behaved like a pig. But not getting any easier. Cheating is the same as the betrayal. Of course, trust that person no more. But we should not forget that you need to understand why the partner has committed this vile act.
If the guy is one of the representatives of the "cats in March", it is quite normal behavior. Just not worth it to build a relationship with this type men, it was necessary to think in advance. Well, if the man is a devoted family man, then most likely, he had problems in relationships because genuinely loving person will not do such a thing and not think to hurt the woman. For this situation, we need a conversation that will explain what a burden the partner. But don't go into the details of infidelity, as this will cause even more rage and anger.
After this difficult conversation is to keep your hands to yourself: it is not necessary every time at the right moment to remind him of what happened, because he already admitted his guilt, the more these "reminders" will be the cause of new quarrels and insults. Man undergoing no less of a woman.
Another problem is sexual life. Each time a girl will go to bed, she will haunt that woman cheated on her boyfriend. This can lead to isolation of women and the thought of her inferiority. This problem will be solved with the help of support and care your partner. If you do so, then soon the relationship will get stronger and will be able to bring both partners happiness and limitless pleasure.

Q: PHP Inheritance not passing values I'm trying to figure out to pass values from a parent class, I've tried to replicate the most basic examples but cannot get it to work.
Please help.
class mother
{
    public function __construct($db=""){
        $this -> db = $db;
    }

    public function setValue($name,$value){
        $this -> $name = $value;
    }

    public function getValue($name){
        return $this -> $name;
    }
}

class son extends mother
{

    function __construct(){

    }

    public function show_name(){
        return $this->name;
    }
}

$a = new mother($db);
$a->setValue("name", 'Usman');

$b = new son();
$name = $b->show_name();

The parent class (mother) will have values set using the setValue function, should I not be able to access those values from the son class?

A: $a is just an object of class Mother, $b just an object of class Son. There is no link Automatically between the property values of these 2 objects.
If you want to use the $b the Son class you will have to load data into it first
So when you create a Son object you get the functionality of Mother as well i.e. Methods and properties, but not the values you placed in Mother before creating Son. They are seperate.
class mother
{
    public $name;
    public function __construct($db=""){
        $this -> db = $db;
    }

    public function setValue($name,$value){
        $this->{$name} = $value;
    }

    public function getValue($name){
        return $this -> $name;
    }
}

class son extends mother
{

}

$db = 1;   # just to make it work
$a = new mother($db);
$a->setValue("name", 'Usman');

$b = new son();
# note calling the Mother method from the Son class
$b->setValue("name", 'Riggs');

#note, calling methods that only exists in Mother
echo $a->getValue('name');
echo PHP_EOL;
echo $b->getValue('name');

RESULT
Usman
Riggs

A: You have created two separate objects $a and $b. If you set something in an object $a it is not visible both $b. You should do the setting of the value in the $b object not in $a.
Another thing is the correct construction of the son object, despite the inheritance from the mother class, you do not set the value of $db in it. Modify your son class to take this value in the constructor and pass it to the mother class constructor , or remove the empty constructor of the son class and use that from the mother class.
class son extends mother
{
    public function show_name()
    {
        // You are building a lot of dynamic fields,
        //so if you use a table, you can check a collection of their names.
        //I explain the use of the table below in the mother class code.
        return array_keys($this->fields);
    }
}

$b = new son($db); //here you are using a mother constructor
$b->setValue("name", 'Usman');
$b->setValue("name1", 'Usman1');
$b->setValue("name2", 'Usman2');
$name = $b->show_name(); //$name is an array of names here

It's also good practice to explicitly declare fields in classes and not create everything with public access (like $db in example below). Regarding dynamic fields, in my opinion, it would also be much better to build them as a table.
class mother
{
    protected $db;
    protected $fields;

    public function __construct($db="")
    {
        $this->db = $db;
        $this->fields = [];
    }

    public function setValue($name, $value)
    {
        $this->fields[$name] = $value;
    }

    public function getValue($name)
    {
       return $this->fields[$name] ?? null; //if the value of name does not exist, we will return anything, e.g. null
    }
}

If you execute code with var_dump($name); you will see

array(3) { [0]=> string(4) "name" [1]=> string(5) "name1" [2]=>
string(5) "name2" }

First thing's first, you need to pick a venue for your write-in. Wherever you do it—a coffee shop, library, or someone's house (which is what I do)—make sure it's a place with lots of places to sit and write, as well as lots of places to plug in laptops and tablets. No matter where you end up choosing, make sure you have some power strips on hand, and maybe an extra charger in case someone forgets to bring theirs. No excuses for anyone to not be writing!
Also, if you do decided to meet up in a public place, you absolutely must let the establishment know you have a group of people coming in at a specific time. That gives them time to set up and prepare. And if you'll be at a place that sells food or drink, encourage everyone to buy something. It's only right.
At the last write-in I attended, the host had pulled out all of her books on writing she could find and stacked them up in the middle of the big table everyone wrote at. There were books on story structure, character development, grammar, and even references for names. It was a great idea, and it made me realize that sometimes writer's block can be shattered with a quick peek in a reference book. It's not a bad idea to have a book or print out of nothing but story prompts either. A little nudge can make all the difference.
What's the Best Writing App for NaNoWriMo?
The best part of a write-in is getting to talk to others about your project, and hear what they're working on. To kick off your session, have everyone go around and introduce themselves and briefly explain their story. Questions and discussion are encouraged as long as things are kept positive and nobody is questioning creative directions. The idea is to get everyone motivated, not make people feel bad about what they're writing.
Writers need fuel. If you're at a cafe, coffee shop, or restaurant, encourage people to buy things from the establishment. But if you're at home, provide a meal that's quick and easy to eat while you all work. Pizza is an easy go-to—all you need is plates and napkins—but it can be something lighter if that's people want. Any dish that can be eaten without a bunch of extra utensils or special actions is what you want to aim for.
Snacks are also good to have around as long as they aren't too messy. Something salty and crunchy is perfectly satisfying, just skip the chips and crackers that leave traces of themselves on people's hands. It's hard to keep typing when you constantly have cheese dust on your fingertips. Pretzels, almonds, and grapes are solid options.
Word War: NaNoWriMo is all about getting that word count, so this game is a flat out race of who can write the most words in a certain amount of time. It can be based on generic writing prompts that are handed out to everyone, or it can be part of your novel's word count. Set a timer for 15 minutes and see who comes out on top.
Story Objects: Have a pile of paper slips with an object written on each one. People have to choose a slip randomly and find a way to incorporate that object into the section of the story they're working on. I often find giving myself another problem to solve in a scene makes it more fun to write. And when you're having fun with your writing, it usually makes it more fun to read.
Share-agraph: At a random point in the evening, tell everyone to stop writing (shouting "pencils down!" is optional). At that point, each writer has to read their last complete paragraph out loud to the group. It's always interesting to hear what other people are writing, and sometimes inspiration can strike while you listen. Nobody has to read if they don't want to.
No matter what games you choose to play, I recommend having some very basic prizes to really get people in the spirit. Pens, notepads, sticky notes, reference books, and other writing-focused gifts are ideal. And don't play all of the games at once! Use them as breaks throughout the write-in so people use them as a time to refresh their minds with a fresh injection of motivation.

Q: Button method seems to be overridden? I start at activity A, which contains two buttons, which take you to activities B and C respectively. While in either activity B or C, there is a timer: once the timer expires you are taken back to activity A by the following code:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(B_or_C.this, A.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);

Once I am back in activity A, however, something weird happens. Tapping the button for B brings me to activity C, or vice versa, though only occasionally. Sometimes tapping the button brings me to the correct activity and sometimes it doesn't. I've tried using both onClickListeners and onClick(View view) as means of settings what happens when a button is pressed, but in both cases, after the above code is run, there is a chance that tapping a button will bring me to the wrong activity.
Is there any way to definitively set what happens when a button is tapped?
EDIT: Tried adding the final modifier to the onClick methods, even so, sometimes tapping on Button B gets me to activity C. I don't understand why this would happen, the onClick method of button B contains only the following:
public final void onClickB(View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, B.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

Why would clicking this button ever bring me to C.class, which it does?

A: In the first case, why don't you create intent the standard way, and also, I think you want to use FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP instead of FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK:
Intent intent = new Intent(B_or_C.this, A.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);

//quit current activity
finish();

Additionally, in both cases, add finish() after you start your intent to finish current activity, eg:
public final void onClickB(View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, B.class);
    startActivity(intent);

    //add finish() to quit current activity
    finish();
}

Also, you might consider linking button B or C click action with onBackPressed(), this way you will rely on Android to go to previous activity.
Read the docs on tasks and back stack here

A: in your ActivityB or C do that instead of restarting ActivityA
 Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
 returnIntent.putExtra("result",result);
 setResult(RESULT_OK,returnIntent);
 finish();

Archaeologist Finds Wooden Homes on Platforms: First Ever Middle Bronze Age Discoveries in Bulgaria's Plovdiv
October 18, 2015 · by Ivan Dikov · in Ancient Rome / Roman Empire, Ancient Thrace, Antiquity, Bulgarian Empire, Byzantine Empire, Middle Ages, Prehistory
Lead archaeologist Elena Bozhinova shows one of the many artifacts from four major time periods – the Middle Bronze Age, the Late Hellenistic Age, the Late Antiquity, and the High Middle Ages – discovered at the western slope of the Nebet Tepe Hill in Bulgaria's Plovdiv. Photo: Pod Tepeto
Structures dating back to the 1900-1700 BC, i.e. the Middle Bronze Age, which are remains from wooden homes, have been discovered for the first time in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, also known as the oldest city in Europe.
The team of archaeologist Elena Bozhinova from the Plovdiv Museum of Archaeology has made the important discovery together with the discoveries of structures and artifacts from a range of other time periods, reports local news site Pod Tepeto.
The location excavated by Bozhinova's team – a privately owned property at the foot of the western slope of Nebet Tepe, one of the seven historic hills in Bulgaria's Plovdiv which bears the earliest traces of human civilized life in the southern Bulgarian city.
In addition to the Middle Bronze Age, also for the first time in Plovdiv, the archaeologists have unearthed structures from the Late Hellenistic Period, i.e. the 2nd-1st century BC; the other finds include a Late Antiquity Early Christian necropolis, and the destroyed ruins of homes from the High Middle Ages.
Both the Middle Bronze Age and the Late Hellenistic Period had never been researched in the history of Plovdiv, or Philipopolis, as it was known in the Antiquity, after it was conquered by the King of Macedon Philip II in 342 BC.
The archaeological excavations on the property located on Plovdiv's Tsar Boris III Blvd, which have just been completed, were realized a bit late since a year ago the owners of the plot started there the construction of an office building without notifying the local museum authorities.
After reports in the local media, however, the construction was terminated, and archaeological digs were authorized in order to inspect the site but, as it turns out, damage to the medieval archaeological layer had been done.

Nonetheless, Bozhinova and her team have made major discoveries stumbling upon an unexpectedly rich plethora of archaeological structures and artifacts from different eras at the foot of the western slope of Nebet Tepe (More about the history of Nebet Tepe and Plovdiv read in the Background Infonotes below).
While Bulgaria's Plovdiv has deservedly been dubbed "Europe's oldest city", there are major periods in the city's history which have not been researched in-depth.
One of these "Dark Ages" in the history of Plovdiv, and the entire region of Southern Bulgaria, for that matter, had been the Middle Bronze Age.
Only in the past few years, the Bulgarian archaeologists have revealed a couple of archaeological sites dating back to the Middle Bronze Age.
The latest Middle Bronze Age discoveries in Plovdiv have now added new pieces to the puzzle of what the life and history of the Balkan Peninsula (Southeast Europe) looked like in that period.
Thus, the team of Elena Bozhinova has found a 1.5-meter thick archaeological layer with remains of Middle Bronze Age homes.
These were primarily wooden homes built on wooden platforms; the platforms served to isolate the homes from the clay soil underneath providing greater stability as the soil was susceptible to the force of the water draining down the western slope of the Nebet Tepe Hill.
What is also important about the Middle Bronze Age discoveries is that the archaeologists have found no evidence that the place was inhabited in both the Early Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age meaning all Bronze Age artifacts found there are from the Middle Bronze Age.
"From now on, this site will be a standard for further excavations in Southern Bulgaria, and probably even in all of Bulgaria. The significance of the discoveries has been assessed highly by both Bulgarian and foreign archaeologists who have come to see the site and the artifacts, and have been impressed by the new information and this archaeological luck [that we have had]," lead archaeologist Elena Bozhinova is quoted as saying.

The other major time period that had been a dark spot in the history and archaeology of Bulgaria's Plovdiv, and for which the newly excavated site has provided answers is the Late Hellenistic Period.
This is the time "between" the Ancient Thracian Philipopolis and the Roman city of Trimontium, as Plovdiv was called by the Ancient Romans, when the power of the Thracians waned, and they were subjugated by Rome.
(In 46 AD, all of Ancient Thrace south of the Danube, including the Odrysian Kingdom, was conquered by the Roman Empire and was divided into several Roman provinces.)
Thus, Philipopolis / Trimontium (today's Plovdiv) was where the Romans built one of their largest cities in the Balkan Peninsula.
While individual artifacts from earlier digs elsewhere on the territory of Europe's oldest city had been dated to the Late Hellenistic Period, they had been thought to be insufficient evidence about the presence of permanent population in that era.
However, the new findings at the western slope of Nebet Tepe have revealed a well preserved Late Hellenistic archaeological layer.
It contains the remains of homes made of wood and clay as well as kilns, including "escharas" – decorated hearths that were used as home altars.
In addition to the ruins of the residential architecture, the archaeologists have found from this period a large moat with a triangular vertical section which was about 1-1.5 meters deep.
It is believed that the moat could have been used for both water draining and protection since on its outer bank ofthe archaeologists have found remains of a clay structure, and on the inner bank – a massive structure made of large stone blocks.
However, the researchers have been unable to find out more about the functions of the Late Hellenistic moat and the adjacent structures because that would require excavating the neighboring properties as well.
In addition to the hearths that were also home altars, the other most interesting finds from the Late Hellenistic period at the western slope of Nebet Tepe in Bulgaria's Plovdiv include movable kilns, bronze coins, and bronze fibulas that the Ancient Thracians used to button their clothes instead of buttons.
The finds from the Middle Bronze Age and the Late Hellenistic Period, however, are not all archaeological discoveries made on the site.
Bozhinova's team has managed to establish what the site in question was used for by the Romans in the Late Antiquity / Late Roman Period: it was a cemetery.
The Late Roman Period was a time when Philipopolis / Trimontium / Plovdiv thrived; however, it had been unclear whether the spot on the western slope of Nebet Tepe was part of the city back then because of its unwelcoming environment. The place is located to the northwest of the Nebet Tepe Hill, it is close to the Maritsa River, and may have often been flooded.

The artifacts that have now been discovered there prove that at that time the spot in question was not inhabited but in the second half of the 4th century AD it was in use as a graveyard.
The archaeologists have found there a Late Antiquity Early Christian necropolis, and have excavated more than 10 graves.
The east-west orientation of the funerals indicates that this was a Christian cemetery; some of the graves were covered with tiles.
In some of the graves, especially the child graves, the archaeologists have found inventories consisting of decorations such as earrings and rings made of silver, gold, or bronze, as well as glass decorations. It is these finds that provide for the precise dating of the funerals to the second half of the 4th century AD.

The last historical and archaeological period from which the Plovdiv archaeologists have discovered major finds at the western slope of Nebet Tepe is the High Middle Ages, and, more precisely, the 12th-13th century when the city was first part of the Byzantine Empire, and then of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1396 AD).
"The medieval Plovdiv was glamorous and its territory was equal to that of the Roman city Trimontium. It had a huge territory, and it was no surprise for us to discover remains from that time here as well. Unfortunately, the medieval archaeological layer had been almost completely destroyed during the construction works that were carried out before the archaeological excavations were authorized," says Bozhinova.
She adds that the medieval layer which is about 1 meter thick contained ruins of massive buildings. Only some bricks and tiles from the High Middle Ages have survived the initial construction works for the future office building.
However, the medieval finds are taken to mean that in the 12th and 13th century the site was occupied by home and was populated.
Some historical sources indicate that this part of Plovdiv was the location of a Latin Quarter, i.e. one visited and/or populated by Crusader knights on their way to the Holy Lands during the Crusades. Bozhinova says this is "not impossible".
"The discovered materials including parts of artifacts imported from Byzantium and possibly from other places different from Plovdiv are representative of the period but their origin is yet to be established. All that could confirm the hypothesis that the Latin Quarter of Plovdiv was here. We know from the historical sources that on their way to Jerusalem the Crusaders stopped here and spent time in the city. These included knights from many orders, including the Order of the Knights Templars. Unfortunately, for this particular spot, this information has been lost forever [because of the construction works], and for the time being we cannot say for sure if that was indeed the Latin Quarter of Plovdiv," the lead archaeologist sums up.
The history of the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv – often dubbed the oldest city in Europe – began with the human settlement on the ancient hill of Nebet Tepe ("tepe" is the Turkish word for "hill") is one of the seven historic hills where today's Bulgarian city of Plovdiv was founded and developed in prehistoric and ancient times. The hills, or "tepeta", are still known today by their Turkish names from the Ottoman period. Out of all of them, Nebet Tepe has the earliest traces of civilized life dating back to the 6th millennium BC, which makes Plovdiv 8,000 years old, and allegedly the oldest city in Europe. Around 1200 BC, the prehistoric settlement on Nebet Tepe was transformed into the Ancient Thracian city of Eumolpia, also known as Pulpudeva, inhabited by the powerful Ancient Thracian tribe Bessi. During the Early Antiquity period Eumolpia / Pulpudeva grew to encompass the two nearby hills (Dzhambaz Tepe and Taxim Tepe known together with Nebet Tepe as "The Three Hills") as well, with the oldest settlement on Nebet Tepe becoming the citadel of the city acropolis.
In 342 BC, the Thracian city of Eumolpia / Pulpudeva was conquered by King Philip II of Macedon renaming the city to Philippopolis. Philippopolis developed further as a major urban center during the Hellenistic period after the collapse of Alexander the Great's Empire. In the 1st century AD, more precisely in 46 AD, Ancient Thrace was annexed by the Roman Empire making Philippopolis the major city in the Ancient Roman province of Thrace. This is the period when the city expanded further into the plain around The Three Hills. Because of the large scale public construction works during the period of Ancient Rome's Flavian Dynasty (69-96 AD, including Emperor Vespasian (r. 69-79 AD), Emperor Titus (r. 79-81 AD), Emperor Domitian (r. 81-96 AD)), Plovdiv was also known as Flavia Philippopolis.
Later emerging as a major Early Byzantine city, Plovdiv was conquered for the First Bulgarian Empire (632/680 – 1018 AD) by Khan (or Kanas) Krum (r. 803-814 AD) in 812 AD but was permanently incorporated into Bulgaria under Khan (or Kanas) Malamir (r. 831-836 AD) in 834 AD. In Old Bulgarian (also known today as Church Slavonic), the city's name was recorded as Papaldin, Paldin, and Pladin, and later Plavdiv from which today's name Plovdiv originated. The Nebet Tepe fortress continued to be an important part of the city's fortifications until the 14th century when the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1396 AD) was conquered by the Ottoman Turks. During the period the Ottoman yoke (1396-1878/1912) when Bulgaria was part of the Ottoman Empire, Plovdiv was called Filibe in Turkish.
Today the prehistoric, ancient, and medieval settlement on Nebet Tepe has been recognized as the Nebet Tepe Archaeological Preserve. Some of the unique archaeological finds from Nebet Tepe include an ancient secret tunnel which, according to legends, was used by Apostle Paul (even though it has been dated to the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I the Great (r. 527-565 AD)) and large scale water storage reservoirs used during sieges, one of them with an impressive volume of 300,000 liters. Still preserved today are parts of the western fortress wall with a rectangular tower from the Antiquity period.

Court Detection

Jan 17, 2015

Identify the image regions which contains the court for a tennis match

          </hgroup>

Court Detection is crucial for obtaining informations and making inferences for a tennis match and generate interesting commentary.We took to the task of court detection with the following objectives.

Filter the players from other persons in the image

Make inferences on the position of the players with respect to the court and the type of shot being 	played

Filtering the frames which contain match sequence from the video

Court Detection was important but was a non trivial problem. We approached the problem in two different ways.

Finding straight lines in the image (Hough Transforms)

Template Matching (Homographic Transforms)

Hough Transforms

We made an assumption that most distict white colored lines in a image of tennis match comes from the court. Applying specific filters on the S channel for HSV representation of the image, we were able to generate a binary image with distinct court lines. We then applied morphology transformation, namely erosion and dilation successively to make the lines more prominent.Applying hough transform on the binary image gave the following results.

As is evident from the results, the method did not give complete court lines and detected only a part of them. Also the method did not work in case of clay courts where the white lines were not too distict or there were white objects in the background.

We tried to resolve the first issue by picking up points on the detected lines and trying to find the best fit lines through these set of points. The horizontal lines were detected by constraints on the slope of fitted line but other two non parallel lines of the court could not be detected by this approach. So we tried to apply homographic transforms.

Homographic Transforms

The tennis courts have the same shape but are captured by different cameras at different angles. Thus there must exist a transformation with respect to the scale and the rotation such that one tennis court can be obtained from the other. Under this asumption, we used homographic transforms or template matching.This required us to fix a template and find the transformation of specific points on the template and find their location on a test image.

Template

Results

Thus it is quite clear that clear inferences cannot be made regarding the court with homographic transformations as well. Thus we aim to combine the results of hough transforms with homographic transforms and try to obtain results from sequence of images rather than single image for better results.

PDF Compress
Is PDF better than DOCX?
PDF, DOC or DOCX? Choosing the right format for sending documents to journalists.
PDF is an ideal format for distributing formatted documents but It\'s not so great if you want the recipient to re-use the contents. DOCX formats are also good options for distributing documents.
PDF Short for"Portable Document Format," PDF was originally created by Adobe Systems as a way to exchange and distribute documents with complex formatting. It has two big advantages. First, it's ubiquitous: Numerous applications can create PDF files, and anyone with the free Adobe Reader software can view them. Second, the format can replicate pretty much anything you see on a printed page.
Microsoft Word Given the popularity of Microsoft Office, Word's .doc and .docx formats are also good options for distributing documents. They're reasonably compact, and unlike PDF, files can be easily edited by recipients. You don't necessarily need Microsoft Office to create or edit these documents — virtually any word processor can do so, including free open-source packages such as LibreOffice.
.doc was the native Word format prior to the introduction of Microsoft Office 2007. One disadvantage is that the files can include macros, custom-written programs that live within the document. Macros can perform many useful actions, and I rely on them heavily in my own work. However, macros can contain viruses or other malware, so opening a .doc file from an unknown source creates the risk that your computer will be infected.
Beginning with Office 2007, Microsoft introduced two new formats: .docx and .docm
.docx is the new standard native format, and unlike .doc, the files cannot contain macros. For that, you need .docm.
If you want to minimize the anxiety factor in your recipients, .docx is preferable to .doc. The downside is that users with older versions of Word won't be able to open the files unless they have a conversion utility.
