Q: basic bash syntax issue - syntax error near unexpected token I think my script does what its meant to do, at first I just had
#!/bin/bash
for file in /home/parallels/Desktop/trashcan/*
    do
    echo "Would you like to delete - " $file
done

I then wanted to add the obvious missing functionality so I now have
#!/bin/bash
for file in /home/parallels/Desktop/trashcan/*
do
    echo "Would you like to delete - " $file
    read line
    if [$line == y|Y]
        sudo rm $file
fi
done

Thats where I'm at now, I did at first try to use a case statement instead of the if as I have a working script with the case statement I'd need but simply copying it over gives me the same error - syntax error near unexpeted token, I get this for fi and done

A: [ is a command, so it must be separated by whitespace from its first argument:
if [ "$line" = y ] || [ "$line" = Y ]; then
    sudo rm "$file"
fi

If you are using bash, you can replace the standard usage shown above with the more concise
if [[ $line = [yY] ]]; then
    sudo rm "$file"
fi

As Keith Thompson pointed out, only an answer of exactly 'y' or 'Y' will allow the file to be removed. To allow 'yes' or 'Yes' as well, you can use
shopt -s extglob
if [[ $line = [yY]?(es) ]]

(The shopt line is only required for earlier versions of bash. Starting with version 4, extended patterns are the default in a conditional expression.)

A: The if part should be
if [ "$line" = "y" ] || [ "$line" = "Y" ]
then
    sudo rm $file
fi

A: I faced similar problem. I had opened the .sh file in windows and Windows has added CRLF at the end of every line.
I found this out by running
cat --show-nonprinting filename.extension

E.g.
cat --show-nonprinting test.sh

Then, I converted it using
dos2unix filename.extension

E.g.
dos2unix myfile.txt
dos2unix myshell.sh

AboutDame Stephanie "Steve" Shirley

Dame Stephanie "Steve" Shirley
    was born as Vera Buchthal to a Jewish father, a judge in Dortmund who lost his post to the Nazi regime, and a non-Jewish Viennese mother.

In July 1939, at the age of five, Shirley arrived, together with her nine-year-old sister Renate, to Britain as a Kindertransport child refugee.She was placed in the care of foster parents living in the Midlands town of Sutton Coldfield.

After leaving school Vera decided not to go to university (botany was the "only science then available to my gender") but sought employment in a mathematics/technical environment. At the age of 18, she became a British citizen and changed her name to Stephanie Brook.

After leaving school Vera decided not to go to university (botany was the "only science then available to my gender") but sought employment in a mathematics/technical environment. At the age of 18, she became a British citizen and changed her name to Stephanie Brook.

In the 1950s, Stephanie worked at the Post Office Research Station at Dollis Hill, building computers from scratch and writing code in machine language. She took evening classes for six years to obtain an honours degree in mathematics. In 1959, she moved to CDL Ltd, designers of the ICT 1301 computer.

After marriage to a physicist, Derek Shirley, in 1962, Shirley founded, with a capital of £6, the software company Freelance Programmers

 She wanted to create job opportunities for women with dependents, and predominantly employed women, with only 3 male programmers in the first 300 staff,[8] until the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 made that practice illegal.

She adopted the name, Steve, to help her in the male-dominated business world.[9] Her team's projects included programming Concorde's black box flight recorder.

Shirley retired in 1993 at the age of 60 and has since focused on her philanthropy.

Shirley was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1980 Queen's Birthday Honours, for services to industry and promoted Dame Commander (DBE) in the New Year Honours, 2000 for services to Information Technology.

A: This is due to a browser specific rule. Not sure about others, but to get rid of it in Chrome, use:
-webkit-margin-after: 0px;

I'm assuming the rest follow the same vendor prefix pattern, but I haven't tested.

A: I added this to my css and applied the class to the p element.
It gets rid if the spacing below the p element. But the p element displays bunched up when the window is made smaller, which it didn't do before.
How do I fix that?
.margin {
padding-top: 18px;
line-height: 0;
}

Thanks,
R

A: Don't have the reputation to comment..
If your intent is just to have the text centered in the p, all these hacky rules aren't needed..Just set a proper line-height and pad however you want;
.jumbotron p {
    font-size: 21px;
    font-weight: 200;
    padding: 0px; /* adjust freely */
    margin: 0px;
    line-height: 1em;
}

You could just go with only line-height as well, it will stay vertically centered..

Where Will Privacy Be in 10 Years?
Privacy & Security September 1, 2020
When the International Association of Privacy Professionals recently released Visions of Privacy, a future-looking anthology of contributions from privacy thought-leaders around the world, we got to thinking about our own response to the big questions:
How far has privacy come in the past 20 years?
Where do we see privacy and data protection in 10 years' time?
What will privacy mean to—and for—organizations and individuals in the year 2030?
Here are our thoughts …
Privacy risks and responsibilities were ill-defined for much of the past 20 years
The sun rose on a new millennium and few people were focused on privacy unless they'd made a career out of it. Back then, and in the years since, privacy was largely seen as something companies had to do on their customers' behalf. The companies bore the cost, and the consumers received a benefit. As a result, companies either did the bare minimum or didn't know what they were doing and did little-to-nothing—and consumers generally thought they had more privacy than they really did. When consumers did finally see the issue, most quickly became overwhelmed by the enormity of it and apathetic or inert to trying to fix it—all the while feeding their personal information to the Internet with increasing alacrity, in exchange for products and services.
In the meantime, analytics and cloud services grew and quickly made possible what we now know to be creepy tracking by big tech companies. Gradually more people woke to the notion that what we were doing online was being watched and traded and our Internet free will was fast disappearing, if not already long gone.
Privacy regulations didn't solve the problem. In the US, for example, privacy was seen not as a right but as a factor to be balanced with other considerations—and we're still trying to get that balance right.
So here we stand only nine months into a new decade and smashed by a global pandemic and its varied consequences, many of which—contact tracing, remote working, and online learning—raise hard questions about privacy and our right to protect our personal information. Most of the world's four billion internet users lack the privacy control they require and deserve—and a massive majority are rightly concerned about how best to protect their personal information online. There's a shared sense of lack of control, and a great deal of fear. More than half of Americans are too afraid to buy online for fear of data abuse.
From this somewhat precarious vantage point, where do we think privacy and data protection will be in 2030?
The privacy landscape will change, but how much?
We agree with other pundits who say data privacy will be a defining issue of this decade and we'll all live in an increasingly privacy sensitive world. But, while there's plenty of scope and impetus for change, we question the speed of that change: What might change gradually and what might change rapidly? Therefore, we have a largely optimistic vision of privacy out to 2030 but with some sobering caveats. Among other things, 2020 has shown us just how difficult it is to accurately predict the future, and none us has perfect vision of what lies ahead. Plus, change isn't always as quick as we hope. So, while we've outlined our vision of the ideal privacy state in 2030, some of it may not come to pass in this decade.
Our ideal privacy future is bright
Privacy will be driven by business benefit and mutual obligation, not compliance obligation.
Companies that currently misuse consumer data will self-regulate better. They will finally realize that collecting and processing less data and being an honest steward of data they do collect makes good business sense. More businesses will see it's no longer enough to think only about breach prevention. It'll be clear that users want products and applications that have privacy at their core and delivering them boosts the bottom line.
Businesses will understand that consumers want their product and their privacy and giving it to them is as simple as building privacy by design and embracing the enabling technologies. At Anonyome Labs, we're already making it possible for businesses to engage, onboard and continually interact with their customers without collecting, managing, or risking their customers' personal data.
Consumer rights will be balanced with business viability.
Data ethics will be a differentiator. We're not there yet because all consumers aren't sufficiently aware of the issues and therefore few large companies are motivated to change their practices. Over time we will see a trend towards privacy preserving analytics, and greater use of technologies such as homomorphic encryptionand differential privacy. Consumers will feel like they've regained their Internet free will.
Most consumers will be proactively protecting their personal data.
Using privacy preserving tools will become as easy as using the privacy invading ones. There will still be challenges to overcome the inertia of complacency, but they will be fewer. Consumers will proactively protect their personal data, either in lieu of better regulatory protections and company behavioral changes or alongside them. Consumers will use tools like our MySudo app, which is the only app on the market that gives users private phone, text, email, browser, and virtual cards all in one app, packaged into secure digital identities called Sudos that make it possible to discretely manage and secure communications online and off.
Opt out won't mean miss out.
At Anonyome Labs, we've never subscribed to the notion that being private means opting out of online services or hiding from the world. People should be empowered to determine what, where and with whom they share their personal information. We believe by 2030 "opt out" won't mean "miss out" and big tech will have abandoned the mantra that if you are not charged for the product, you are the product.
In fact, the regulatory environment will support these changes.
Consumers will demand to have their data collected but forgotten and we'll see legislated, widely available ways to make this possible. We're already seeing evolution in this space, and it could be easily accelerated with legislation. By 2030, we will see a simplification of the current patchwork of privacy regulations. A US national privacy law will provide a common set of requirements for US businesses, rather than state-by-state laws that are mostly similar yet subtlety different.
Privacy will be a ubiquitous and nuanced career option backed by solid education.
On the jobs front, privacy careers will be more plentiful and nuanced than they are today. We'll see specializations by geography/jurisdiction, as well as privacy roles grounded in fundamental skills such as law, compliance and audit, user interaction design, data analytics and systems engineering. Privacy education will be multidisciplinary, just as many cyber security courses are now.
Decentralized identity will be widely adopted for privacy.
Decentralized identity technologies are a holistic solution to privacy and they will be widely embraced. Decentralized identity will reduce the need for centralized databases to the absolute minimum and thus give consumers complete control and ownership over their personal data, make businesses less vulnerable to data misuse, and limit cyberattacks, fraud and other financial crimes. The compliance burden will lessen within an open, trustworthy, interoperable, and standards-based identity management ecosystem, and new business alliances based on secure communication and information exchange (e.g. in medical or education) will emerge.
People will migrate geographically to a better 'privacy climate'.
Just as people move for jobs, lifestyle, or weather, by 2030 we may see people moving for privacy. The EU is generally at the leading edge of personal data protection, so people may see migration to the EU or other privacy-first jurisdictions as attractive options. Another possibility is that people will move their choice of application and data providers to EU-based systems.
We won't be arguing about cross border data transfers between modern economies.
The regulatory challenges around ensuring protection for EU to US data transfers will get simpler. This may be due in part to changes in government policy, helped significantly by privacy preserving technology. We will not end up with highly localized data kingdoms.
Corporate social responsibility for data processing will be codified into systems design.
By 2030, customers' collective feedback has an immediate effect on a business' use of personal data. Data protection is explicitly part of system design and elements like data retention and uses of customer data are well controlled. Those controls can be tightened or loosened more easily based on changes in regulation, punishments by regulators for failing to do the right thing, or feedback from customers on how they think their data is being treated.
Of course, the reality doesn't always match the vision, and that's true for privacy too.
Given life is unpredictable and change can be slower than hoped, we're compelled to pour warm water on some of these bright ideas.
Despite the nine-year runway to change, by 2030 we could easily still have companies claiming data is anonymized, but that not being entirely accurate. It's an imperfect solution, and techniques to link the data puzzle back together are improving all the time and may stay ahead of the wave.
Further, even if by the end of this decade business generally has made solid strides towards data minimization and be deriving significant benefit from responding to customer calls for greater data control, some very powerful companies (Google, Facebook) may still be being dragged kicking and screaming to the privacy table since their primary revenue source is based on invasive advertising. Big ships can take a long time to turn.
On the regulatory front, it is possible, given privacy professionals and regulators are often seen to be debating over details instead of enacting real change, that we'll be no better off with the regulatory environment in 10 years. Big tech will relish this outcome. Let's hope the pursuit of a perfect privacy law does not prevent the creation of something better than we have today.
The tussle and confusion over cross border data transfers between modern economies may well continue too, which would be disappointing and not in the best interests of privacy globally.
Perhaps most uncertain of all is the answer to the COVID-19 question. Privacy lost during actions such as informal or poorly implemented contact tracing will be difficult to claw back, and some governments may only reluctantly relinquish the data collection powers the pandemic has afforded them.
A lot can change in 10 years, but then little can change too. On balance though, at Anonyome Labs we're bullish about the future of privacy over the coming decade. Where will we be in 2030? We believe in a much brighter place, where companies, consumers, and regulators are all singing from the one song sheet. That's our vision of privacy. Let's see where the future takes us.

TV is Good Notebook
When US television network ABC and ad agency TBWA\Chiat\Day (LA), dared to declare that TV is Good in a much-talked about 1997/98 ad campaign; the network was literally deluged with protests from around the world. (See for yourself, here via Google.)
"Creative repositioning" was what Alan Cohen (Executive Vice President of ABC Marketing at the time), called the biggest and most costly ABC campaign ever. ABC just wanted "to act different, to look different, and to get people talking about ABC and its shows."
Lee Clow (Chairman & Chief Creative Officer of TBWA\Chiat\Day) defended the campaign amidst the wave of indignation: Why not honestly celebrate the notion that TV is a good part of our lives, and that sitting down in front of it for a while isn't such a bad thing?"
Love them or hate them, they becameæpart of the popular culture.

All our hotels :Abu Dhabi
Only 50 years ago Abu Dhabi was a provincial fishing village with a sturdy fort and a sweeping desert landscape. Today, it has grown into a metropolitan oasis with a modern sensibility and attractive public spaces.
It's the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, and the city of Abu Dhabi is its federal capital. You'll find many of the world's biggest oil companies headquartered here, along with a thriving expat community drawn to the booming business opportunities. Any Abu Dhabi city guide mentions its sophisticated urban planning. Stroll down its grand boulevards and admire the abundant fountains, green spaces, and sophisticated shopping arcades. Yas Island is a top attraction, with its Ferrari theme park and Formula 1 race track. The streets are studded with international luxury brands and chic restaurants, along with shopping centres like the Marina Mall. Beyond lies the desert, as mysterious and alluring as ever.
Best things to do in Abu Dhabi
One of the most enticing things to do in Abu Dhabi is visit its waterfront, or Corniche. This stretches for several miles taking you from the Breakwater all the way to the Mina Zayed port. Walk slowly down this promenade, stopping off at a sandy beach or go-kart track for a taste of outdoor adventure. Another attraction that you won't want to miss is the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. This gleaming white mosque is the 6th largest in the world, capable of accommodating up to 40,000 worshippers under its marble accents. To catch a glimpse of Abu Dhabi's wealth, pay a visit to the Emirates Palace Hotel, accented throughout with marble, gold, and crystal along with an over-the-top ATM that dispenses bars of solid gold. One of Abu Dhabi's primary charms is its peaceful atmosphere, and you can enjoy this in Khalifa Park. Many restaurants in Abu Dhabi feature outdoor terraces where you can gaze out at the azure sea as you enjoy your meal.
Abu Dhabi Transport
Abu Dhabi International Airport serves the city, and is the home base of its national Etihad airlines. A secondary option for international travellers is to fly into Dubai International Airport and take a bus or taxi into town. The two cities are 130km apart, or a two-hour ride. Abu Dhabi transport is primarily car-based. Renting a car is one way to get around, or taxis are easily accessible from all hotels and tourist spots. The public bus system is centred at the station on Hazaa Bin Zayed Road. You can use these buses to get around locally or further afield.

More than 600,000 tourists are expected to visit Prague during December, many of them coming especially to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere in the city. Among the biggest highlights is the traditional Christmas market on Prague's Old Town Square, which will open this Saturday with the lighting of Christmas tree. I asked Barbora Hrubá from Prague City Tourism to tell me more about what visitors to Prague can see and do during the festive season this year.
There are of course many other Christmas markets in the Czech capital. Can you mention at least some of them?
"There are markets basically on every bigger square in Prague and most of these markets already opened last weekend. But this year, especially if you are looking for something a little bit more special, I would definitely suggest visiting the Manifesto Christmas market.
Manifesto Christmas market, visualisation: archive of Manifesto What else is there to see in Prague during the festive season, not only for tourists but also for the locals? Which events in particular does Prague City Tourism promote?
"For example every advent Sunday at 11 a.m. there is an advent concert in the National Theatre. They will be performing the Christmas Mass by Jakub Jan Ryba.
"If you want to experience the true Christmas spirit and the winter atmosphere, take a walk with the lamp-lighter on the Charles Bridge, starting Saturday, December 1.
Christmas traditionally attracts thousands of tourists. How many visitors do you expect this year?
"This year we are expecting that Prague will be visited by approximately 650,000 people during the whole month of December. For the Christmas and the New Year celebrations it will be approximately 280,000 in the total.

Q: How to call function written in main file into ajax file in php & jquery Written a Jquery function in main file (index.php) & want to call same function in ajax file that is called from main file.

A: if the function in the main page and you inject ajax to container inside it, the function need to be available for calling, in the end of the ajax file add
  function() //main function

you can also choose another approach after the ajax success you can call the function directly... by passing it as callback for example:
ajax(url,mainFunction,true)

function ajax(url, callback, async) {
    var date = new Date();
    var ticks = date.getTime();

    if (url.indexOf('?') == -1)
        url = url + "?tick=" + ticks;
    else
        url = url + "&tick=" + ticks;

    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: url,
        dataType: 'html',
        async: async == undefined ? true : async,
        success: function (data) {

            if (data != undefined)
                callback(data);
        },

        error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
           //throw error
        },

        complete: function () {

        }

    });

Q: Device fission with CUDA I am looking for a way to partition my Nvidia GPU device, so that I can run two sets of kernels concurrently without them fighting for SMs.
According to documentation, in openCL you can use clCreateSubDevices. Is there any CUDA equivalent?

A: I personally haven't come across such a feature in CUDA.
To run two kernels concurrently, you can calculate the occupancy of your kernels, accordingly call limited number of blocks, and use a loop inside kernels to imitate the existence of more blocks. It would probably cost you a few registers more per thread. If you don't want to touch the content of your kernels, you can launch each kernel inside a stream multiple times, each time with limited grid size. The cost of the second approach is probably not-fully-occupied SMs when transitioning between kernels of one stream.


This simply elegant long dress features a straight-across neckline and an ornate mid-open back. Ornate at the waist with a stunning beaded band and a fluttering peplum detail, the skirt fits and pleats divinely down to a full-length hem. This dress is perfect for evening party or any special occasion.

Eventually, Mahboob Alam found the employment at the Survey of Pakistan.

In 1967, Lt. Shamoon joined the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and was posted in East Pakistan, working on the intelligence gathering.
For a short period of time, Lieutenant-Commander Shamoon provided and ran a short training course to the junior officers graduating from the Naval Academy in Karachi at the PNS Babur near the Bay of Bengal.

In 1970–71, Lt-Cdr.

During the height of the civil insurgency in East-Pakistan, Lt-Cdr.

2018 was yet another successful year for video games industry. According to GamesIndustry.biz, global games market earned $135 billion, with mobile accounts having the largest share (47%, $63 billion) of all 3 platforms: PC, mobile and console. Strategy games have been and remain a hit, still gaining popularity among young players to this day. Check out the standings of Warhammer 2, XCom2 or Dungeons 3, if you need proof. Immersive environments and a fascinating plot are key ingredients of strategies. We too have set to pick our own best strategy games, and here's what we got.
A global strategy that allows you to choose any century and build a brand-new civilization from scratch. It has been at the top of all charts for the last 20 years – the first part was released back in 1991. Develop a new settlement, from a small town to a world-leading entity, depending on strategy, choose various ways to achieve victory: cultural, scientific, military. And, of course, many will wonder: why aren't we reviewing the newer Civilization VI edition… well, we like V and after it the VI just didn't seem to find place in heart.
A handy strategic map will help to plunge into the epoch atmosphere and become an emperor for citizens. As part of game series, Civilization is progressive as it can accommodate the unlimited number of units in one hex. A well-developed system with multiple options: construct different buildings, develop a strategy and plan ahead to conquer new regions.
Platforms. PC, Nintendo, iPad.
Minimum system requirements (PC): Windows XP/Vista/7, Dual Core CPU, 2GB RAM, 8GB disk space, DVD-ROM, video card 256 MB, sound DirectX 9.0. Recommended: 1.8 GHz Quad Core CPU, 4GB RAM, video card 512 MB or higher.
Pricing: The price ranges from $10,99 to $99 depending on the package.
WW2 events serve as the historical basis for this strategy game. Eastern Front is the major setting where players take part in historical battles, plunging vividly into military atmosphere, courage of soldiers. Thus, it will appeal to those who enjoy fighters and shooters, those who wish to follow the path from Stalingrad and Moscow to the capturing of Reichstag.
Compared with Company of Heroes 1st edition, there's a line of improvements: a broader range of weapons and roles for better engagement, a dynamic weather system for realism, etc. For instance, when it rains or snows, you cannot see all objects clearly or artillery gets frozen. Additionally, a lot of strategic details are taken into account: heavy weapons can be taken only on the home front, artillery is effective only at distance. At some point, the plot becomes too chaotic, and despite other minor glitches, CoH 2 truly deserves a place among best strategy games.
Platforms. Only PC version – compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
Minimum system requirements: 2Ghz Intel Core2 Duo or equivalent, 2GB RAM video card 512MB, 30GB of space. Recommended: 3Ghz Intel i5 quad core or equivalent, 4GB RAM, video card 1024 MB.
Pricing. $30 standard, $10 at Steam.
Cossacks 3 is relatively new to strategy series. But those who enjoy large-scale historical battles will love it. 12 states to choose from, but be careful to consider all pros and cons before beginning. Cossacks could really appeal to different age groups. The main idea is that players will manage settlements, delegate tasks to citizens (extracting resources, forming troops).
If you don't like playing alone, invite friends – the game allows to interact with multiple players from anywhere, so competitive spirit is guaranteed! Just select a multiplayer mode and go. While the majority of strategy games focus on on-ground events, Cossacks 3 expands its reach to the sea and picturesque sea battles.
Platforms. Only PC – Windows, Linux, Mac.
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP/7/8/10, Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz, 1GB RAM, 4GB of space. Recommended: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2 GHz / AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz, 4GB RAM.
Pricing. The Steam price starts from $19.99 for standard edition. Special bundle offers.
Crusader Kings 2 is a global strategy, based on Medieval Europe events, that impresses players with elaborate game design. Create a dynasty, manage it and gain more power through battles and fights, conquer new lands. Add feudal relationships, intrigues and military action and several hours of entertainment is served.
Attention to detail and historical figures, wide range of territories and epochs, interesting plot make Crusader Kings II a fun PC strategy game. In terms of individuals and the state relations, players can organize secret deals, dynasty marriages, make agreements etc. And of course, crusading wars serve as a prime reason to expand territory.
Unfortunately, we also found several mishaps that we hope will get fixed in the next edition. For instance, you cannot start a war without stating a proper reason for it. Since the game has thousands of characters that constantly interact, it is quite challenging to keep track and manage the empire. However, game developers did an excellent job of presenting new material to learn – it allows new players to master everything step by step.
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, 2 GHz processor, 512 Mb RAM, 2GB on disk. Recommended: 3.2 GHz, 1GB RAM, 2GB on disk, nVidia GeForce 6600 / ATI Radeon x1300.
Platforms. Only PC.
Pricing. $7,99 at Steam, region-depending pricing, up to $40.
Eador. Masters of the Broken World
A fantasy strategy game with virtual worlds and their traditions. Eador is the universe of scattered settlements, constantly fighting against godlike creatures, mostly with malicious intentions. In contrast to triple-A rated products of the same subgenre, the plot is interesting and diverse. Campaign fights and realistic environments, otherworldly settings and numerous unexpected turns of a storyline are a treat to any gamer.
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP, 2 GHz, 512 Mb RAM, 2GB of space, nVidia GeForce / Radeon with 256 Mb of memory. Recommended: 1.6 GHz, 2GB RAM, 2GB of space, 512 Mb video card.
Platforms. Currently, only Windows. Tablet version and other OS in making.
Pricing. $19,99 fixed.
Heroes Of Might and Magic III
Needless to say, the iconic video game, in best traditions of strategy games. It was one of the first in its genre that provided realistic environments and descriptions, and it still holds positions among gamers. A great variety of maps and campaigns, multiplayer feature make the game appealing to people of any age and background.
In Heroes of Might and Magic III you have a wide choice of races and castles, you can upgrade units by earning gold, constructing buildings etc. The map is dynamic, where a player can observe battles or join them.

A large-scale global strategy with the opportunity to rewrite history. Choose one of the states or fractions and participate in world conquering, no less! Rome II is divided into two parts. One is managing state on a strategic map, while the second is large-scale historical battle to play as a tactic and/or strategist.

Warcraft 3 is the one that made a real breakthrough in strategy genre. Released in 2002, it remains relevant to this day, having thousands of fans and followers, and will probably remain popular for many years ahead. By the way, it was also the first 3D strategy to play in real-time.

Margot Robbie says becoming instantly famous was one of 'her lowest moments'
Michelle Heffernan November 14, 2022 3:32 PM
Margot Robbie has spoken about the effects of fame on her personal life.
The Australian actress told Vanity Fair's Rebecca Ford that the instantaneous fame she experienced after The Wolf of Wall Street was incredibly difficult.
"Something was happening in those early stages and it was all pretty awful, and I remember saying to my mom, 'I don't think I want to do this.' And she just looked at me, completely straight-faced, and was like, 'Darling, I think it's too late not to.' That's when I realized the only way was forward."
Robbie told Ford how her celebrity status impacts her privacy and that even her family's safety has been affected: "If my mom dies in a car accident because you wanted a photo of me going in the grocery shop, or you knock my nephew off a bike—for what? For a photo?" she says. "It's dangerous but still weirdly nothing feels like it changes."
The actress explains that before her fame, she assumed journalists were interested in the truth, but now finds herself at the centre of rumours and gossip. Recently it was reported that the actress was upset for her friend, model Cara Delevigne, and that she had shed tears outside her home. Clarifying this news story, Robbie told Vanity Fair, "I'm not at Cara's house—I'm outside an Airbnb that I was renting for five days! And I'm not crying!' I had something in my eye. I'm trying to grab my face mask, trying to hold a coffee cup, and I couldn't get a hair outta my eye."
She told the magazine that press junkets also cause her stress, as her words can be misunderstood. "It's like tap dancing through a minefield because you're so tired and you've done it for hours and hours, and to keep on guard all the time…. You can say it right a thousand times, but you say it wrong once, you're f***d."
She has allegedly made peace with the fact that she cannot correct every fake story, saying: "You want to correct it, but you just can't. You have to, I don't know, look the other way.
Robbie spoke to Vanity Fair ahead of her upcoming movie, Babylon, co-starring Brad Pitt. The movie is set to be released in Irish cinemas in January 2023.


I can't believe Easter is less than a week away! Maybe it's because it's still not feeling at all spring-like here, but it seems to have just snuck up on me.
If you're like me and need to get organized for Easter quickly, then these tips will help you prepare so you can enjoy the day with your family and friends.
I'm thankful that I'm not hosting an Easter dinner here, but for the sake of this post, I'll assume many of you are. You can skip steps 1, 2, and 5 if you're celebrating Easter somewhere else.
Oh and since this isn't a craft blog or a decorating blog, I don't have posts to share to help you in those areas. So I'm sharing some pics throughout this post from some of my blogging friends who specialize in these areas :) Click the links below the pictures to get more details.
You may not have time to do a really deep clean in just a few days, but at least do a thorough clean of the areas your guests will be spending time - living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, etc.
If you have enough time (or your guests will potentially be in other areas of your home - for example if you have kids and you'll be having nieces/nephews that will play in their rooms), then clean them too.
Don't get overly stressed about cleaning though... your guests are there to celebrate Easter with you, not judge you for how clean your home is (or isn't).
Often an Easter meal is almost as big as a Christmas dinner (although if you can simplify it I highly recommend it!). Whether it's an Easter brunch or a dinner, the planning process is the same.
I wrote a lot of tips for planning a holiday meal at Christmas and they apply for Easter meals too. Here's a quick summary.
For more details on each tip, read that Christmas meal prep post (just ignore the Christmas pictures!).
As with everything in our lives, we've been simplifying gifts and treats at Easter. The bunny isn't as extravagant as he used to be :) For years, many little things that were hidden in plastic eggs just became clutter after a week or two. And then I'd have to fight with my kids to purge it later. Each year we've cut back the number of little trinkets (and the number of eggs hidden) and my kids have never noticed or questioned it.
We aim for mostly consumable things now. Of course we have some chocolate eggs, candy eggs, Peeps, jelly beans, etc (although we've been cutting the sticky things back as well - my son has braces and my daughter has weak teeth and is more susceptible to cavities!).
And for more clutter-free gift ideas, check out my Great Gift Ideas board on Pinterest!
Well, as early as you can... since it's less than a week away! With your list of groceries and gifts in hand, shop as early as you can.
As soon as you come home with your purchases, you can wrap your gifts or create your baskets or prepare your plastic eggs for an Easter egg hunt. It's amazing how long those things can take! Plus you won't have to fight the crowds at the mall or the grocery store on a long weekend. That gives you more time to relax and enjoy your friends and family on Easter weekend!
For a really organized Easter egg hunt, you can use a different coloured egg for each child. Then fill them with appropriate items for that child. My parents have done this for the last several years for the grandkids and it takes away the competitive nature that Easter egg hunts can take on (you know the grab-as-many-as-you-can kinds of hunts!). We even had cousins helping each other find their eggs, which is much more fun than breaking up fights over them. Plus, you can be strategic in where you hide the eggs for various age levels.
There are lots of things you can do before your guests arrive. And the more you do in advance, the more you'll be able to spend time with your guests on Easter, instead of being overwhelmed in your kitchen.
If you've got everything as prepared as you can, and you have some time to spare, you can decorate your home for Easter. If you've got a crafty family you can even plan some simple Easter crafts to make at your Easter gathering.
Here are a few of my favourite Easter decorations and crafts (in addition to the ones scattered throughout this post).
7. Relax and Enjoy Your Easter!
Whether you celebrate Easter because of the bunny or Jesus, have a special day with your family and friends. And if you've organized and prepared in advance, you should be able to do that!
I hope these tips help you this week as you prepare for Easter! May it be a special time with friends and family.
How do you organize for Easter? Do you host an Easter meal or go to someone else's home? What's your favourite part of Easter?
Spring has been slow getting here also. I love all your great tips to get ready for Easter. We usually have a very simple Easter dinner after church. Our grandchildren are too old for Easter egg hunts like we used to do so it will turn into a very laid back afternoon for us.
We eat at his dad's house. I just need to bring a side dish. We color eggs and that's about it. I don't go over the top on this holiday. Thanks for including my mom's pretty yellow lily photo in your post!
7 Steps to Get Organized for Spring!


The autumn has arrived. A change of season. This time of year is one of my favorites, however, I do feel the shift within me to become a little sad. I love the summer and I am always sorry to see it go. The shorter days, cooler weather and dying of the summer flowers creates a space within me to reflect on the things that I must let go of. It is a time to begin to go inward and look at what I am ready to release. Change, is inevitable. The question is, are you willing to change? Are you willing to go inward and reflect on what you desire to create and make new. Collectively we can create a world that is changing for the good. Look within yourself, you will find the answer to do something new, something bold and something beautiful!


The experience of being a customer has changed rapidly just over the past few decades. But while the customer experience has changed, has it improved? Is there room for further improvement?
Today's guest is Ian Moyse of Natterbox. He joins the podcast today to talk about disruptions in the customer experience, how customer experience is changing, and why it matters. Listen in to hear what Ian has to say about where this kind of disruption has the biggest impact, how buyer personas can improve the customer experience, and how customer experience impacts revenue and customer loyalty.

Ford to launch 4 new SUVs within 4 years
Ford plans to launch four new SUVs within the next four years, announced Mark LaNeve, Ford Motor Company vice president of Marketing, Sales and Service. Their identity and the timing of their release have yet to be specified, however.
Demand for these vehicles will likely continue to increase, especially from millennials and baby boomers — two age groups that represent 160 million people in the U.S.
"As members of the 80-million-strong millennial age group enter their prime child-rearing years, a leading indicator of more SUV sales, nearly 80 million aging baby boomers continue to prefer their SUVs," said LaNeve. "It's a demographic double whammy and it all points to one thing — more SUVs for the foreseeable future."
Baby boomers, in particular, like SUVs because it's generally easier to get in and out of a vehicle that sits higher off the ground than a passenger car. LaNeve also noted that many of them feel younger and more active driving an SUV.
Of course, the current low gas prices largely contribute to the growth in SUV sales.
Belle équipe et endroit de travaille


Having a Baby is the most wonderful feeling in the whole world. It is also the most over whelming. Not just your body but mentally also you go through a whirlwind of emotions. And they change within seconds. You could be overjoyed and smiling looking over your precious baby one minute and the next minute bawling your guts out. Everyone seems to settle in quite easily and start enjoying the new arrival effortlessly, except for the mom to be. The mom is suffering from anxiety pangs, sad or worried etc. and is not able to fathom why all these sudden changes are happening to her and her life. While it's absolutely normal to go through these mixed emotions, however it becomes a cause of concern if it carries for too long. It is known as Post-Partum Depression and needs to be addressed so that the mom can get back to her normal happy self and start enjoying motherhood and her baby.
When I had my son two things really bothered me. First was my weight gain and the second was will I ever be financially independent again? In retrospect however I realize that what I underwent was Post-Partum depression but milder in nature. Of course at that point in time if anyone would have suggested that to me I would have clubbed them.
Hehhhehehe.. I do not remember a lot about what I did to overcome it but couple of things are still vivid in my memory. The most important thing I did was to take strength from my baby. Each time something bothered me I just had to look in his eyes or hear him giggle or squeal and I was calm and relaxed. Secondly, I shared and confided in my sister. It was basically to vent and my sister though younger to me and no kid yet was extremely patient and gladly gave me her listening ear.
I read up a lot on Post-Partum Depression and Ways to Deal with it. I also spoke to other moms who shared their views.
Look After Yourself – Even though it seems really difficult and impossible because of numerous chores after you have your baby, it is imperative to take out time for yourself. Be it half an hour your time, but take that time. Do something that you like and make it a habit slowly. It will be easier to accept how your life has changed and for the Better.
Confide in Loved Ones – Even if you don't feel like sharing and think that your problem is silly, still go ahead and tell someone who is ready to listen to you. Expressing your feelings is also accepting the situation and gives you enough respite to take on further challenges.
Seek Help – If your depression continues for a longer period of time, do consult your doctor or even a psychologist immediately.
A lot of my friends said Exercise helped them feel much better if they were having anxiety attacks. Some said the kind of foods they ate also changed the way they felt. The healthier they ate the more fresh and energetic they behaved. It would be unwise to ignore Post-Partum condition. It is called 'post-partum' as it's symptoms like restlessness, anger, mood swings etc. show soon after delivery. The sooner you seek help for it the faster you can be around to look after your baby.
How have you dealth with the post partum mood swings and depression?
It was a bad phase for me…I use to keep crying and for no reason at all ..

Movie Reviews from the Dark
A David Ferguson Creation
Annual Bests
Greetings again from the darkness. It happens sometimes, but rarely. A single sequence in a film is so profound or unusual or artistic or affecting, that it alone makes the film worth watching. Such is the case with the labor-birth-midwife scene in this film from real life partners, Hungarian director Kornel Mundruczo and writer Kata Weber. Much of it is an extended single continuous shot, and it occurs within the first half hour.
The only set up we get is that the husband, Sean (Shia LaBeouf) is on the construction crew building a new bridge, and that his wife Martha (Vanessa Kirby) is extremely pregnant on her final day of work before maternity leave. A strained relationship with Martha's mother is evident as she buys the couple a minivan. At home, the couple seems excited about the upcoming arrival of their first baby. When her water breaks, they are initially upset that their midwife can't make it for a home delivery, but soon enough, Eva (Molly Parker), shows up as a replacement and takes charge. The remarkable sequence is filmed in tight shots that add to the tension and come across as ultra-realistic as Ms. Kirby's strenuous performance.
The rest of the film follows the differing ways the couple, especially Martha, deals with the crushing emotional pain and unfathomable grief that comes with losing a child. It's the kind of tragedy that can tear apart a relationship and change, if not destroy, a person. Martha becomes isolated as she tries to make sense of something where logic doesn't apply. Sean is unable to connect with her, but falls into her mother's camp of seeking to avenge the pain. Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn plays Martha's domineering mother, and she is determined to make the midwife pay through jail time.
The rest of the film can't match that birth sequence for tension, but the cast is superb in capturing the various faces of grief. Ms. Kirby is a revelation and she immerses herself in the role – something frequent movie watchers will immediately recognize. Whether she's huffing with labor pains, sniffing apples in a grocery store, or floating through days and nights in a state of numbness, we feel every bit of what she's processing. LaBeouf handles the initial pain very well, but he's let down by the script through the balance of the story. Ms. Burstyn and Ms. Kirby each get another chance to shine as they face off at a family dinner in Act 3. Supporting work comes from Benny Safdie (actor-director known for co-directing offbeat films with his brother Josh), Iliza Schlesinger as Martha's sister, and Sarah Snook as the prosecuting attorney (and family member).
Scandal surrounds the project, not because of anything that happened during production, but instead due to the accusations Shia LaBeouf is facing from a former girlfriend. Separating the accusations from the performance is a choice each viewer will have to make on their own, and it can be noted that he, while a significant player in the story, is not the main focus. Chapter headings by month are used to assist us with knowing how much time has passed, and the under-construction bridge from the first scene acts as a metaphor in the film's final scene as the new reality is faced. Despite being a tough watch at times, and having a first act that sets an unsustainable bar, there is a lot to admire about the film. Martin Scorsese is listed as an Executive Producer and 3-time Oscar winner Howard Shore delivers a nice score. Living with loss is never easy, and at times seems impossible.
In theaters December 30, 2020 and on Netflix January 7, 2021

THE DRESSMAKER (2016, Australia)
Greetings again from the darkness. Sometimes we just have to give thanks (and credit) to a filmmaker for boldly stepping out of the Hollywood box and delivering a cinematic experience that is creative, interesting and downright unusual. Such is the case with director Jocelyn Moorhouse and her first film since A Thousand Acres (1997).
We know immediately that we are in for something a bit different. A1950's era bus rolls down the dusty road and stops in a desolate little Aussie town with only a handful of store fronts. Western-style music accompanies Kate Winslet as she steps off the bus brandishing a Singer sewing machine rather than a Winchester or Colt. She lights up a cigarette, squints out from under her hat, and utters one of the more memorable first lines of any movie. We are hooked. (You had me at "bastards")
What follows is based on Rosalie Ham's best-selling novel with a screenplay from the director and PJ Hogan (Muriel's Wedding, 1997), and features a most remarkable blend of slapstick comedy, dark humor, tragedy, romance, mystery, and revenge. At times the film has a Coen Brothers or Wes Anderson feel, while at various other moments it recalls the Keystone Cops, Chocolat, a spaghetti western and a spoof of … well it's difficult to say whether it's a spoof or homage to numerous genres.
Ms. Winslet is in full lead mode as Tilly … the local girl who was accused of murder at age ten and banished from her mother and hometown. After 25 years, Tilly returns to Dungatar in an attempt to reconnect with her mom, gain a bit of revenge on the petty townfolks, and remember that fateful day that has been blocked from her memory. The tool of her trade is a sewing machine (and at times a golf club) and Tilly has the magic touch to transform the local ladies into more attractive and confident versions of themselves. She wields her Singer with every bit of danger as Blondie (Clint Eastwood) did with his revolver in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Judy Davis (A Passage to India) is fantastic (worthy of an Oscar nom) as Tilly's mother "Mad" Molly. In a role that would have been pure caricature in different hands (Maggie Smith), Ms. Davis provides a depth and humanity to a role that is truly the heart of the film. Also excellent is Hugo Weaving as the local Police Sergeant who has his own secret quirks and guilty conscience, and is one of the first to appreciate the talents Tilly brings to the small town. Liam Hemsworth spends the movie grinning and gazing in the role of arm candy Teddy – one easily recognizable as the female role in most movies (those not directed by a woman). The deep cast always features Sarah Snook as Gertrude and Kerry Fox as the villainous school marm Beulah (replete with devilish hairdo).
While the story itself is relatively predictable, it's the manner in which scenes are staged that makes this such a pleasure. The offbeat combination of desolate Aussie town and near cartoon characters are set against the colorful and textured world of highly fashionable clothes, wicked twists, twisted humor, reconciliation and tragedy – many scenes combining more than a couple of these.
Marion Boyce and Margot Wilson deserve special attention for costume design, as the costumes themselves play as characters to contrast the local atmosphere. It's startling to realize that such a coherent story utilizes such topics as domestic violence, spousal rape, misogyny, cross-dressing, murder, perjury, blackmail, Billie Holliday, South Pacific, cannabis brownies, and Sunset Boulevard in such creative ways. Though many critics will not agree, Ms. Moorhouse has delivered an entertaining and accessible movie despite its complexity with multiple subplots and various undertones. Let's hope she doesn't wait 20 years for her next film project.

GASTON COUNTY, N.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) - A suspect is now in custody after a standoff with police.
Police were called to the scene on Marcela Drive Wednesday afternoon. FOX 46 was told the man rammed at least one vehicle, fired a shot and then barricaded himself inside his home.
Negotiators were able to talk with him and he is now at the Gaston County Jail. Officers say at one point, neighbors were hiding behind trees because of the shot fired.
"As we were coming to the scene, apparently neighbors were hiding behind trees because of the shot fired out here in the community and of course that elevated our response— just the fact that there was a weapon involved and a shot fired prior to our arrival," the Gastonia Police captain said.
No injuries were reported. FOX 46 is working to learn what charges the suspect will face.


Three women have filed a lawsuit against the Alameda County Sheriff's Office in California, saying they were forced to take pregnancy tests while being booked into the county jail. The sheriff's office said the testing is standard procedure when processing female inmates. However, the women argue that the county violated their constitutional rights.
Sergeant J.D. Nelson said the testing is the result of a prior lawsuit. In the previous lawsuit, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office was sued for failing to conduct pregnancy tests on inmates. Although they eventually reached a settlement, the sheriff's office agreed to test all female inmates upon booking.
Nelson said the sheriff's office is simply following through with a prior agreement. He also said the testing is done in the best interest of the inmates, as those who are pregnant are transferred to a specialized unit.
As stated in the lawsuit, the women are not seeking monetary damages. They simply want the sheriff's office to stop forcing female inmates to take pregnancy tests.
Although Harman was tested at age 69, the jail eventually modified their policy to include all female inmates under the age of 60.
Nancy Mancias is also listed as one of the plaintiffs. She said the testing was "invasive, offensive, and humiliating." For Mancias, the testing was specifically difficult, as she and her husband are unable to conceive.
Despite the criticism, county officials contend mandatory pregnancy testing is in the best interest of the women. The plaintiffs simply want the female inmates to have a choice.
