So, I Wrote To Guinness World Records
About 2 months ago, March 23rd to be exact, I was chatting to some bookloving people about Reading Groups and the like. We now have 4 and jolly good they are too. Well, it turns out that June 25th is National Reading Group Day in the UK, and it got me thinking.
I wonder if there's anything we can do to help make National Reading Group Day go with a swing at the shop.
So then I had an idea, and I logged onto the Guinness World Records website.
I set up an account and I sent an application, which went something like this.
World Record Attempt for the World's Biggest Reading Group
June 25th 2011 is National reading group Day in the UK. We would like to attempt to set/break the World Record for the Worlds Largest Reading Group.
There are many thousands of reading groups throughout the UK and they are a great way of giving people who might not necessarily read regularly an opportunity to do so.
The record attempt will be made by joining people nationwide using social media websites Twitter and Facebook, using a website forum and also skype and video links
A book has been chosen and will be sent out to all the people who register that they would like to take part. This will happen around the end of May. This will give those people around 4 weeks to read the book.
On the day of the record attempt itself, those involved will be asked to log in or register with a central administrator based in a venue in London (possibly the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green). People can log in as a group or as an individual. The discussion about the book will start at 4.00pm GMT and there will be a centralised forum which will keep people updated about other peoples' thoughts. There will also be a facebook page and also a twitter hashtag which will be linked up to the forum. From 6.00pm until 8.00pm all the individuals taking part will be allowed to give the book marks out of ten. The scores will be kept by the central administrator and at 9.00pm the average score and the number of people who took part will be announced. I am by no means the most tech savvy of people, but I have been assured by colleagues who are that this is a very straight forward system to organise.
We have excellent links with the media and we will ensure that as well as coverage in the Local Press and in the Trade Press, there will be national coverage of this attempt.
Anyway, the application was something like that (I cannot copy the actual application I sent to the Guinness folk as it has been swallowed up like the frothy head on their delicious alcoholic brew).
I was told that I would need to wait 4-6 weeks for a reply and was given a claim number. 342992
So a couple of weeks ago I got a reply. Here it is.
** Please do not send a response to this unmonitored email address as it will not be read**
Claim ID: 342992
Membership Number: 301897
Dear Mr Simon Key,
Thank you for your enquiry regarding your intention to attempt the record for 'Worlds Largest Reading Group'. We cannot accept your proposal as a new record category at this moment. However, we have searched our Record Database and this is the most similar record we currently monitor: 'Most people completing a questionnaire'.
The current record (current as at the date of this letter) is:
The most people completing a questionnaire is 3,461 and was achieved by Sanofi Aventis de México S.A. de C.V. and La Asociación Psiquiátrica Mexicana (both Mexico) at the Aguascalientes International Speedway in Aguascalientes, Mexico, on 21 March 2010.
(then lots of legal blurb etc)
Please do let us know if you would like to attempt that record instead. If that is the case, you may wish to check with us again closer to submitting your full claim to be sure that a new record has not been set in the interim.
We wish you the best of luck in your record attempt and we look forward to hearing from you!
Kimberly Partrick
No, Kimberly Partrick, I would not like to attempt to break the World record for the Most People Completing a Questionnare. I would like to attempt to break the World record for the Worlds Largest Reading Group.
So we're going to try it anyway.
We will now be attempting to break the record on Saturday July 30th to give people a chance to read the book (and also this will give us a chance to organise everything properly). Also, we imagine that other reading groups will be busy celebrating National Reading Group Day on June 25th, so it might not be the best day to do this.
The book we have chosen is Where Would I Be Without You by Guillaume Musso.
Having read it, I can assure you it is a book where there's a lot to talk about, hence the reason it was chosen. We've talked to the wonderful publishers, Gallic Books and are able to offer the book at a crazy low price. We hope that reading groups around the country will get involved and so the book is also available as a bundle, so that you can get copies for the other members of your reading group.
We're doing packs of 6 for £30. That's just a fiver a copy.
And we're doing packs of 3 for just £18. (£6 a copy).
single copies we're selling for £7.
And it's FREE Postage and Packing too.
We've set up a Facebook page called appropriately enough;
The Reading Group World Record Attempt.
We will also have a Twitter Hashtag #readinggroup
We will soon be introducing the Forum which will enable us all to discuss the book together.
This is going to be ace. I would love it if you could join in. I would love it also if you could tell everyone you know who loves reading. Reading Groups are cool, reading is sexy and sprouts are green. With a bit of luck these 3 truths will make this world record attempt work (except the thing about the sprouts).
Please let the whole world know. Thanks.
Sainsbury's. Chain Bookselling Company of the Year
Last night was the Bookseller Industry Awards. At a glitzy award ceremony (i'm assuming it was glitzy, I wasn't there) Sainsbury's scooped the Bookseller of the Year award.
"Sainsbury's was honoured with the Martina Cole General or Chain Bookselling Company of the Year Award after reinvigorating book zones, increasing book sales by more than 33% and attracting new book buyers to the market. One judge said: "We should celebrate the fact that they are embracing books and offering people an alternative place to buy—somewhere they can spend time browsing as well as buying."
I went into my local Sainsbury's today and after congratulating the person on the cigarettes and lotto counter (six items or less), I asked if they could show me where their books were.
Slightly baffled they said they didn't keep them.
That seemed strange for the winner of Martina Cole General or Chain Bookselling Company of the Year Award, especially after one of the judges says that Sainsbury's is a place that we can spend time browsing.
And I don't know about you, but anyone who uses the phrase reinvigorating book zones deserves a very stern talking to and a wedgie at the very least.
So, Sainsbury's are embracing books are they? Well, it's true to say that some of their branches are selling a small selection of general fiction titles at a ridiculously low price. It is also true that they have sold many many thousands of copies of Jamie Oliver's cookery books. They have nailed it with Jamie. Well, if I had 900 shops and sold Jamie Oliver's books for £2 less than I bought it for then I would probably have sold a few copies too.
They sell books, but this does not make them booksellers.
We have sold local honey in the past (Tottenham honey is delicious), but we don't expect to be acknowledged by The National Honey Association.
I have no problem with anybody selling books, but OUR INDUSTRY has recognised them as the Chain Bookselling Company of the Year. This says a great deal about chain bookshops but it says even more about our industry and where it sees the future of bookselling. And for that, I worry.
Our New Book Group for Graphic Novels
Last Wednesday we launched our new reading group dedicated to comics and graphic novels, and I think it's fair to say the evening was a huge success. So before I go any further I'd like to thank all those who turned up and made it such a fun evening full of interesting ideas and lively debate.
As this was our first time, and indeed the first time for trying such a specific group, we began by talking about comics or graphic novels that we really like. I enthused about Batman: Year One, and from there we discovered fans of comics ranging from Naruto, through Deadpool, to David Boring. For those of you who were there don't worry I shan't mention Year One again, but Commissioner Gordon is very good in it isn't he? Here he is looking moody and awesome.
Anyway... If this first meeting could be said to have a purpose it was really to set up the group and decide what we were going to read. Rather than follow the traditional book group path we decided to base our meetings on themes and suggested reading. For example, in June our Theme is Crime Noir as a genre and the main reading for this is Coward, volume 1 of the Criminal series by Ed Brubaker and Sean Philips. Ed Brubaker is an award winning writer who has worked on Daredevil, Batman and Captain America, though he first made his name with the comic 'Scene of the Crime' and is a great choice to kick off our Noir discussion. Coward is now available to buy in the shop at £9.99. Other reading suggestions include X-men Noir, a 1940s style take on the merry mutants, or 5 is the Perfect Number by Igor T. This is a fantastic Italian graphic novel exploring the relationship between a mob hitman and his father.
So even if you missed our debut it's not too late to join us. This is what we're reading:
and our next meeting is on Wednesday June 8th at 7:00 in the shop. Any other examples of crime/noir comics are welcome and I hope to see you there.

Q: Retrieve the attributes from an object in jquery - works with selectors but not using an object $(document).bind("insertListener", function(event, elem, param1, param2) {

alert($($(elem)+[attr_a][attr_b!=y]));
});

Can't get to alert a true or false there.
elem is the object, I know how the code above would work with an id, or with a class name as the selector:
$(".selector[attr_a][attr_b!=y]")

But if the selector is the object how would the syntax go. Sorry if this is too simple, cannot figure it out myself and don't find the proper documentation. I also tried using other syntax but it didn't work.
$(elem[attr_a][attr_b!=y]);
$($(elem)[attr_a][attr_b!=y]);
elem[attr_a][attr_b!=y];

A: $(elem).is('[attr_a][attr_b!=y]')

Fiddle
.is() Reference

A: var elem = {
    "id" : "myImage"
};

var sel = '#' + elem.id + '[attr_a][attr_b!=y]'  ; // Assuming it is an ID

alert($(sel));

OR
 var sel = '#' + elem.id ;

 alert( $(sel).filter('[attr_a][attr_b!=y]')) ;

Thriving Industries
Working as a Student
Graduating Soon
As a Fresh Graduate
Following decades of strong growth, forward-looking policy reforms have successfully diversified its economy from one that was agriculture and commodity-based in the mid-1980's into a robust hub for manufacturing, finance and other services today. The service and manufacturing sectors are projected by local authorities to grow by 5.7 per cent and 4.8 per cent respectively, and the IMF is projecting the job market to be stable with an overall economic growth of 4.7 per cent.
With infrastructure and capabilities to cater to a wide range of thriving industries, Malaysia's nearly fully developed economy supports a diverse range of employment and business opportunities including for start-ups. Whether you are a student taking up a part-time job or internship, a graduate looking for full-time employment, or someone looking for a mid-career switch and further education opportunities, here are the in's and out's of job hunting in Malaysia.
Malaysian Labour Market at a Glance
Widely regarded as a popular tourist destination, Malaysia is also home to many dynamic industries. Rich in natural resources like land area, biodiversity and minerals, the country is a major exporter of natural and agricultural resources, the most valuable of which are petroleum and palm oil.
Its strategic location in the region is a valuable asset that such that the China has made Malaysia an important component of its Belt and Road Initiative. Over many decades, the confidence and trust given by other countries, banks and investors has allowed Malaysia to become an economic powerhouse with an attractive and stable job market for expatriates and locals alike. The greater Southeast Asian region, of which Malaysia is a part, is also expected to have an open and stable labour market with an expected economic growth of 4.8% in both 2019 and 2020.
Malaysia is also known for its innovative financial sector, particularly in Islamic banking and finance. Malaysia is ranked as first according to the Islamic Finance Development Indicator score, the largest Islamic banking service provider in the Asia Pacific, and second only to Saudi Arabia in terms of the size of banking assets.
As one of the world's largest palm oil exporters, the country accounts for 39 % of world palm oil production and 44% of all world exports. The majority of Malaysia's palm oil products are exported to China, the EU, Pakistan, US and India, and is evidence of Malaysia's contribution on global stage.
As of 2018, the oil and gas (O&G) and energy sectors contributed 20-30% to the country's GDP and play a vital role in Malaysia's economy. In an effort to maintain global competitiveness, PETRONAS together with the Malaysian government has embarked on new initiatives to reinvigorate Malaysia's O&G industry. This showcases Malaysia's continuous resolve to maintain the level of competency and competitiveness equal to global leaders like Shell and BP.
As of 2018, electrical and electronic products are still Malaysia's largest export. Other than global manufacturers like Intel, AMD, ASE and Texas Instruments, Malaysia also have strong local brands likes of Globetronics, Green Packet and others. Continued growth and strong innovations in this sector is a testament of Malaysia's educational institutions' commitment to cultivating top talent.
Currently a mature industry with a total of 27 vehicle producers and 640 manufacturers of automotive components, the automotive industry is also key to the economy. In addition to being the first nation in Southeast Asia to have their own automotive firm, history was made in 2002 when Malaysia's home-grown brand Proton made the country the 11th in the world to manufacture cars from the start to the finish.
With Malaysia's automotive parts and component exports hitting a historic high of MYR 12.1 billion in 2018, we can be sure that career prospects in the automotive sector will continue to grow, especially with the current government's full backing.
As an international student studying at public or private higher education institutions in Malaysia, you are technically allowed to work alongside your studies. However, it is crucial to remember that studies should be the top priority.
International students are allowed to work part-time for a maximum of 20 hours per week during semester breaks or holidays of more than 7 days as long as their student passes remain valid. Applications to work part-time must be made through the educational institution at which the international students are enrolled.
Another option would be to try looking for work on campus. For example, the university's library, cafe or office reception often offer work opportunities which would minimise travelling time and hassle.
To help increase your chances of landing a job in your industry of choice, having an internship stint on your resume is certainly to your advantage as it would allow you to build a portfolio of relevant experience to enhance your career prospects. Most internship opportunities come with a stipend, so you will be compensated for your efforts.
Most if not all institutions run a career advisory office that helps students to prepare for their future career by building their resume or CV, crafting a cover letter and planning for interview strategy. Staff at these centres can offer industry-specific advice and sometimes even connect you to the latest job opportunities with reputable employers. The career advisory office is there for you, so do not hesitate to make full use the opportunity to network, build a relationship, tap into their links to the industry, and work towards your dream job.
Many employers in Malaysia have multiple branches throughout Malaysia and also around the globe, therefore job opportunities are available in locally as well as internationally. Do enquire if you prefer any location, whether within Malaysia or abroad.
For non-citizens, the first step to gainful employment is to secure a job offer from a Malaysian employer. The employer would then be responsible for obtaining a work permit on your behalf and advising you of the required documents, which must be in order to ensure a successful application.
Also called an 'Employment Pass', it is valid for a minimum of two years and a maximum of five. Also, please ensure that your passport has at least 18 months validity from the date of your offer to allow for sufficient time for processing and any appeal if needed. You can click here for more information.
There are many expatriates and foreign workers in Malaysia, international companies are found throughout the country. Employer will need to file a permit application with the local government in Malaysia. Depend on the type of job and skills, different working passes (Employment Pass and Temporary Employment Pass for example) are issued when obtaining a work permit.
There are several terms to meet in order to be eligible for a work permit for instance age and income. Malaysia government aims to attract and retain talent in the country. The Residence Pass-Talent (RP-T) offers skilled expatriates the ability to work and live in Malaysia for up to 10 years. You can find out more about TalentCorp here.

Winnipeg student's poem helps a home get built
Joyanne PursagaMore from Joyanne Pursaga
Updated: April 13, 2018 1:28 PM CDT
Ryan Mota, 10, winner of the Habitat for Humanity "Meaning of Home" contest poses for photos on Friday, April 13, 2018.
An affordable home in Winnipeg is now one large step closer to being built, thanks to a winning poem by 10-year-old student Ryan Mota.
Ryan accepted a novelty cheque for $50,000 on Friday after his poem was selected as the winner of Habitat for Humanity's "Meaning of Home" contest. The win gives him the chance to direct that grant to a Habitat for Humanity project of his choice, which will be in Winnipeg. The top prize also entitled him to an iPad, as well as a pizza party and $1,000 for St. Alphonsus School (where he's attending Grade 4).
Ryan beat out more than 6,700 entries across Canada to claim the prize.
"It just feels good because I know that I'm helping people in need across Canada and in Winnipeg," he said.
The young student said he was excited by the chance to help his community.
"I'm so fortunate to have a home here in Winnipeg when there's a lot of families around Winnipeg and Canada that don't. And I want to do what I can to help them," he added.
Ryan's winning poem, entitled "home," began by noting a home as a warm, safe shelter and ended with a wish to help others find one.
"And maybe with luck this poem has grown into something that will help a child have a home," he wrote at its conclusion.
Michelle Pereira, Habitat's vice-president of marketing and communications, said the win will pay a substantial portion of the $175,000 the organization spends to build each home it constructs.
Habitat creates affordable homes for families in need of stable housing, with homeowners volunteering up to 500 hours to help build each structure and paying a mortgage geared to their income.
The contest was sponsored by Genworth Canada, which donated $10 per entry to Habitat and will fund the $50,000 grant for the winner's selected Habitat build.
The company's Manitoba representative said the contest has raised more than $1 million for Habitat projects across Canada since it was created in 2007, while raising awareness of homelessness.

Not to be confused with Ain't That Lovin' You, Baby (Jimmy Reed song)

"Ain't That Loving You, Baby" is a song written by Clyde Otis and Ivory Joe Hunter and originally recorded by Eddie Riff in 1956. Elvis Presley recorded the song in 1958 and released the song as a single in 1964.

Background
It was recorded by Elvis Presley on June 10, 1958, but wasn't released as a single by him until September 1964 (with no comma in the title) when it reached number 16 on the Billboard chart, with "Ask Me" as the flipside. It is a standard shuffle in E major. The song, along with "Ask Me", was later included on the 1968 compilation album Elvis' Gold Records Volume 4, and an alternate take with a faster tempo was released in 1985 on the compilation album Reconsider Baby.

Personnel
 Elvis Presley - lead vocals
 Hank Garland - lead guitar
 Bob Moore - double bass
 Floyd Cramer - piano
 D. J. Fontana, Buddy Harman - drums

Angela Merkel Vows To Fight "Till Last Hour" To Avoid No-Deal Brexit – UKMALAYALEE
UKMALAYALEE > uk > Angela Merkel Vows To Fight "Till Last Hour" To Avoid No-Deal Brexit
Angela Merkel Vows To Fight "Till Last Hour" To Avoid No-Deal Brexit
Thursday 4 April 2019 2:14 AM UTC
BERLIN April 4: German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged Wednesday to work "until the last hour" to prevent a no-deal Brexit and warned of the security impact on Ireland and Northern Ireland.
"I've always said I'm going to fight until the last hour… so we can see an orderly exit," she said on the eve of an Ireland visit, warning that avoiding a hard border was a matter of preserving the peace.
Speaking at a Berlin press conference, Merkel said that an orderly Brexit would be "in interest of Britain but also in our interest".
She said that — because of the related issue of avoiding a new "hard border" between British Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland — it would also affect "peace in Ireland".
Therefore it was "a question of violence or no violence and here we naturally want to make a contribution," Merkel said.
She stressed that ultimately "the solution has to be found by Great Britain itself" and expressed hope that Prime Minister Theresa May "will be successful".


If you're looking to add additional profits to your frozen dessert or ice cream store then you'll want to produce your own novelty ice cream products. By making, packaging and selling various novelty items for the customer to take with them you can help drive additional sales. Novelty items don't just have to be frozen or made of ice cream, they can be side items that compliment or enhance your main offerings.
If you step into a grocery store in 2017 you will realize that the ice cream section has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. A couple years ago you used to go into the ice cream section and see rows and rows of half gallons of ice cream with a few different flavors. Now if you walk down that same isle the whole look of it is different. Today, you can walk down the exact same isle but the products that are displayed are totally different. Instead of a selection of half gallons, there is a variety of novelty products that are more personalized and come in a variety of different flavors. A great example of this movement is the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream franchise.
Ben and Jerry's has moved from producing half gallons of ice cream to personalized servings that someone can eat in 2-3 sittings (or all at once if your like me). With their unique combinations of flavors and ingredients and a great branding strategy they have been one of the most successful ice cream companies in the United States this decade. Ben and Jerry's captured its target market right when the industry trend started to move towards a more personalized ice cream with smaller sizes and variety of mixed flavors and ingredients.
If you're making your own ice cream you'll want to start packaging it into pint or quart containers for the customer to take with them. Designing a visually appealing package will also help brand your store. Once you have your pints and quarts stocked up you can start making additional items such as custom cakes, popsicles or birthday trays.
You've put in the work to create your own novelty brand so make sure you display it properly. Make it front and center in a display case where the customer can't help to resist. Eye placement of the product is very important so having the right display case is paramount.
Once you start producing your own ice cream and novelty items, you'll discover that the possibilities are almost endless as to what you can think up, create and sell.
Some Notes to keep in mind when trying to make the decision to produce novelty items.
Having a novelty program will not replace your in house sales. People will buy your original product plus a novelty product to enjoy at another time.

British Future... Identity, Integration, Migration, Opportunity
Videos: Your Stories
Moving abroad can make you feel British
Posted on 11 May 2012 - No Comments
What does it mean to be British, is the question posed in the latest issue of Woman & Home magazine.
Interestingly, when asked to list three things that make them feel British, all three writers gave very different answers, showing just how specific and personal one's sense of Britishness can be. Because writer Jenny Colgan lives in France, it is drinking large amounts of wine and not thinking a size 14 is fat that make her feel British. For author Yasmin Hai, the daughter of Pakistani immigrants, an Indian takeaway in a remote British village is a reminder of just how multicultural Britain has become. As someone born and raised outside of Britain, it is the more general British characteristics of its countryside and sense of humour that make journalist Louise Chunn feel British.
Although their answers to the key question differed, the common connection from their experiences seems to be that feeling British is not a fixed thing, but one that continuously evolves and adapts to one's own personal circumstances. Recent British Future research has shown people see pride in a variety of aspects of being British, from pubs to language to comedians and food, we essentially see a range of symbols of our pride.
It's great to see a glossy women's magazine giving space to discussion of identity, something that has been surfacing regularly in the newspapers, and among the political commentators in the last few months, and obviously enough the Queen's Jubilee has been the spark for them.
Novelist Jenny Colgan spoke about her experience of being a British immigrant in France and the strangeness one can feel when in a place where "you will never be mistaken for one of its people". Her sense of Britishness is largely a reflection of the differences she has noticed between her own behaviour and that of the French. When listing the three things that make her feel British, she came up with practical, everyday details that differentiate her from the specific culture she now finds herself in: drinking wine in larger glasses, not thinking a size 14 is fat and being more inclined to tell jokes than speak about politics. Her own experience demonstrates how living away from one's country of origin can lead to your original identity being heightened by the tiny cultural contrasts of daily life.
The second piece in the feature is from journalist and author Yasmin Hai, one of three children born to Pakistani parents that moved to Britain because of their father's exile. Upon moving to Britain, her father was determined that his children integrate and assimilate into British culture. He was extremely successful, as Hai remembers her and her siblings "often [being] held up as immigrant role models for seamlessly fitting in".
Despite fitting in, as she grew older she did not feel like she belonged and so looked to her Asian roots to provide her with this sense of belonging. In her personal quest to seek out her own identity she visited Pakistan, but, like Colgan, going abroad "taught {me} that I might be more English than I realised". Worried that now she did not belong anywhere, it took Britain's own gradual identity shift to eventually quash her anxiety:
"Britain was changing…I started to realise that I belonged to the country of my birth more than I had ever believed possible. Britain had gone multicultural".
Hai's experience shows just the extent to which personal identity can fluctuate and change depending on society at large. What constitutes Britishness has changed dramatically over the past few decades. As Britain has become more accepting of diversity, more people have become comfortable in feeling British. In Hai's own words, "I now cherish many of the quintessentially British traditions that in the past triggered such conflict in me."
Psychologies magazine editor Louise Chunn was the final point of view, and her story reflects just how strongly many people born abroad feel a sense of belonging in Britain. She was born in New Zealand and lived there until well into her 20s, at which time, after spending one year in the US, she moved to London. Although not enamoured with Britain at the beginning, her sense of identity slowly began to shift:
"I would visit my family every two years and each time NZ would feel slightly more alien to me and returning to the UK would seem slightly more like my natural habitat".
Chunn's sense of identity morphed and transformed gradually as she spent more time away from her birthplace. Nonexistent at first, her sense of Britishness is now so strong that Chunn now considers herself more patriotic than most, a surprisingly common trait among British immigrants. She thinks that "we shouldn't be afraid to loudly extol all the things that make Britain great."
Even though all three writers represent the same demographic of professional women married with children, all have specific, intensely personal ideas of what it means to be British. It is a testament to just how far our society has come that the variety of their responses is par for the course in modern Britain. The diversity apparent in their responses to the question 'what does it mean to be British', reflect just how varied and diverse Britishness really is.

Hope you had a lovely one. How are you keeping?! Super excited for the weekend, the MAGIC WEEKEND of CHRISTMAS?!
Are you running crazy with the last gifts to shop and wrap or just peacefully waiting for the family day to arrive?
This is the year I'm less excited about Christmas, because of many different reasons! and, although I'm the less me I have ever been, I still let the magic in when I see all the lights sparkling and everyone so full of joy!
People can blame the sales and tell that this is not "the most wonderful time of the year" but we know the moment you're buying that gift you are thinking about that person, trying your best to sweet surprise her!
It's true that a gift doesn't need to be bought what matters is the love you give with it!
Talking about Christmas and presents, I want to show you my new ROJA perfume - this one here, how special it looks and how special it is! A perfect gift for someone with luxury scent taste - "Sumptuous Mysterious Sensuality" describes this Amber Aoud.
Sending lots of sweet and magic your way!! Have a lovely night!
Muita magia e doçura para vocês!! Tenham uma Boa Noite!!

HW Virginis-variabeln är en förmörkelsevariabel av Algol-typ och därmed en dubbelstjärna där komponenterna råkar ha en sådan bana att de sett från jorden passerar framför varandra. Algolvariabler är traditionellt stjärnor vars maximum i huvudsak är konstant och med tydligt avgränsande minima (se bild). Detta beror på att variabeltypen består av dubbelstjärnor med komponenterna på relativt stort avstånd från varandra. Numera avses vanligen ett system där stjärnorna är väl innanför sina Roche-lober och där stjärnorna är i stort sett sfäriska. HW Virginis-variablerna är en undergrupp där komponenterna i dubbelstjärnan är en het vit subdvärg och en följeslagare som är röd eller brun dvärg. HW Vir-variabler uppvisar en påtaglig reflektionseffekt.

HW Virgins-stjärnor
Exempel på stjärnor som tillhör variabelgruppen:
 HW Virginis. Prototypstjärnan består av en blåvit subdvärg och en röd dvärg som följeslagare. De två stjärnorna har en omloppstid av 0,116795 dygn.. Stjärnsystemet varierar mellan visuell magnitud +10,48 och 11,38 med en period av 0,11671948 dygn eller 2,801268 timmar.

Q: Measure on function space Suppose $F$ is a collection of continuous functions on $[0,1]$ (with the $\sup$ metric) and $\mu$ is a probability measure on $F$.  Is it true that the mapping $x \mapsto \int_F f(x) \, d\mu(f)$ is continuous?

A: Saying the integral is finite for each $x$ cannot be enough...
Say $(I_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is a sequence of disjoint open intervals tending to $0$. Say $f_n\ge0$, $f_n$ is supported in $I_n$, and $f_n(x_n)=3^n$ for some $x_n\in I_n$. Take $\mu$ supported on $\{f_n\}$ with $\mu(f_n))=2^{-n}$. Then the integral, let's call it $\phi(x)$, is finite for every $x$, but $\phi$ is not continuous, in particular $\phi(0)=0$ while $\phi(x_n)\to\infty$.
If you assume that $\int||f||\,d\mu(f)<\infty$ then $\phi$ is continuous, by dominated convergence.

Is That My Name?
Occupation:	Corporate Financial Officer
Residence:	Friendswood, Texas
Date of Performance/Collection:	April 9, 2012
Other Language(s):	Spanish, very poorly
Folklore Type: Legend
Informant Bio: Greg is my father. He is the hardest working man I know. He really values hard work so much so that he named his daughter after the hardest working woman he ever knew, his grandmother Laura. He grew up relatively poorer or lower middle class, and his father grew up dirt poor in very rural Hix, Texas. Both of Greg's parents worked, and he started working at the age of ten. He has never stopped since as far as I know. Today Greg is a very accomplished and sought after Corporate Financial Officer. He is also very caring like his father.
Context: My Papa, my Father's father, died. We were going to have the funeral soon. I knew I wanted to ask my Dad about the stories his grandfather told him because he talked in length about talking about them, but never told them himself. The one he came up with although he was a little hesitant to tell it because it is not very pretty is the story of our last name, Williams.
I spent every summer with them [father's parents] as a youngster until I started playing football and had summer workouts at home. It was like going to camp except with much better food as my grandmother was an amazing cook having raised 8 kids. I did everything with my grandfather during those summers – milked the cow, tended to the acres of garden, mowed the pasture, rode horses, hunted squirrels and listened to him tell stories usually about people I did not know. He was a small man at 5' 2" tall and my grandmother was 5'11" tall. They made quite a pair. She was fairly quiet but Lee Williams loved to tell stories while we sat outside at night eating watermelon. My grandfather and my father always thought our last name was different. I asked how they could not know. They said it was a different time. My grandfather had several siblings and they all thought this was true.
My grandfathers' father's family migrated from Ireland and my great grandfather lived with his family in Baltimore, Maryland during the civil war. My grandfather's father got into a confrontation with the law. We think either over union confiscation of horses the family owned or somehow taking up for his brother over something or both? My great grandfather fled Baltimore to New Orleans where he traveled back to Ireland for some period of time. He later returned to the United States via Galveston, Texas migrating up from the coast into central Texas settling about 30 miles west of Bryan/College Station, home of Texas A&M. He settled in central Texas and we think my great grandfather changed his name to Williams to easily blend into society.
Informant Analysis: We heard the same stories over and over again. No television, (laughing) no radio, it was pretty much the only form of entertainment. At first it bothered me a lot. You know it's kinda one of those things where as a kid, Tommy was doing the project, and we were going to go to Baltimore to figure out who we were. And at one point the court house burned down and a lot of the documents were gone, but in the end it is what it is and I know I'm Irish and who I am. The other thing it probably did, is it gave me a sense of you know when they were in Baltimore they had horses and a farm and back in those days that was everything, and then it was all gone. You know he went back to central Texas with the shirt on his back and had to start over, and he had a family and started a new life.
Analysis: This legend really is not discussed in my family. I probably bring it up the most out of everyone because I think it is interesting. It tends to make other people in my rather large extended family uncomfortable. What made it stick in my mind is that the last person I talked to about it was my Papa. I identify with it as a part of my identity that is yet to be explored because I really value my origins. This is something I learned from my father. He knows where he has come from because of where he ended up in spite of his origins, as did his father, and as did my Dad's great-grandfather. Whether or not all of the details in this legend are true is unknown thus far, but it is the closest thing to an ancestry the Williams family has.

Q: Dockerfile not making RUN changes after FROM So I have a docker file like this:
FROM php:5.6-apache
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install php5-mysql
RUN a2enmod rewrite
RUN service apache2 restart

and then a docker-compose like this
version: '2'

services:
  apachephp:
    build: .
    ports:
      - '8081:80'
      - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - '~/dev/test/backend:/var/www/html'

and everything works just fine, except the php-mysql plugin and the rewrite apache module.
Any idea of how on earth can I make this thing work?
Thanks.-

A: If you change the base image, you need explicitly rebuild an image and recreate a container.
$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose stop
$ docker-compose rm

Prescription strength compression stockings help improve blood circulation and force fluid out of swollen legs and ankles. These stockings apply external pressure to the leg to reduce venous pressure within the limb. The pressure applied is greatest at the ankle and declines as the stockings move up the leg. The stockings work with the pumping action of your calf muscle as you walk and exercise. You don't have to have a problem with your veins or legs to wear compression socks and stockings. Many healthy, active men and women of all ages find them helpful.
Anyone who wants to maximize endurance by improving blood circulation and increasing oxygen delivery to the limb can benefit from compression socks. They are often worn by runners, soccer players, basketball players and other sports enthusiasts. Athletic recovery socks are available and designed to improve and speed up recovery after physical activity by helping to flush out lactic acid, relieving tired legs and reducing muscle soreness.
There are compression stockings that are perfect for the professional woman. Available in a variety of trendy colors and styles, these stockings are both attractive and durable. There is even a pantyhose style stocking suitable for a pregnant woman. Just as with women's compression stockings, the color and style selection for men is very wide. There is a stocking for every situation, from dress to casual to sport.
Beware of so-called compression stockings available in catalogs, online and in some retail stores. These stockings usually lack the compression levels of our prescription strength stockings. In some cases, the key to comfort, ease of use and effectiveness is a custom fitted stocking. In our office, we have a trained and certified fitter who will measure your legs and recommend the correct stockings for you.
Call us at (309) 862-4000 or use our contact form to Request an Appointment.

Many Middle School and High School Teachers have fully embraced the celebration of Pi day on March 14th, the day that corresponds with the first three digits of pi (and is coincidently the birthday of Albert Einstein). But, the older kids aren't the only ones who should have all the fun! Elementary students can also appreciate the joy of pi as well, even if they can't quite calculate it on their own!
I love tying in literature into my math lessons! One book I love to read in honor of Pi Day is Sir Circumference and the Dragon of Pi (A Math Adventure) by Cindy Neuschwander. It is a fun story that makes clever use of several geometric terms throughout the book.
Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and is always the same, no matter what size circle you use. Have your students hunt down circles in the classroom or around the school. Have students measure the circumference and diameter with a piece of yarn and a ruler. Depending on the age of your students, you could have them divide the circumferences of the circles they find by the diameter either by hand or using a calculator. What do they notice about their answers? Students should notice that they all equal about 3.14.
What student doesn't like a lesson that has a food tie-in? Bake your students pi shaped cookies or pie. You can find both pi shaped cookie cutters and pie tins on-line. You could also just go the easy route and pick up a couple of pies at the store.
Incorporate graphing skills by asking students to choose their favorite pie, or fraction skills as you decide how many pieces to cut the pies into.
One thing fun about teaching Elementary School is dressing up to commemorate certain holidays or special occasions. Why should Pi Day be any different? You could become a math super hero by donning this shirt, or creating one of your own. You could even have students bring in white t-shirts to decorate in honor of Pi Day.
I also love these spiral Pi temporary tattoos that feature the infinite numbers of pi.
Let Them Race to Pi!
Try this fun pi-themed card game where players try to play all the cards in their hand while finding the numbers in pi.
How do you celebrate Pi Day in your upper elementary classroom?

? Mesolithic
The Gravettian was an archaeological industry of the European Upper Paleolithic that succeeded the Aurignacian circa 33,000 years BP.[1][4] It is archaeologically the last European culture many consider unified,[5] and had mostly disappeared by c. 22,000 BP, close to the Last Glacial Maximum, although some elements lasted until c. 17,000 BP.[2] At this point, it was replaced abruptly by the Solutrean in France and Spain, and developed into or continued as the Epigravettian in Italy, the Balkans, Ukraine[6] and Russia.[7]
They are known for their Venus figurines, which were typically made as either ivory or limestone carvings. The Gravettian culture was first identified at the site of La Gravette in Southwestern France.[8]
Gravettian culture
The Gravettians were hunter-gatherers who lived in a bitterly cold period of European prehistory, and Gravettian lifestyle was shaped by the climate. Pleniglacial environmental changes forced them to adapt. West and Central Europe were extremely cold during this period. Archaeologists usually describe two regional variants: the western Gravettian, known mainly from cave sites in France, Spain and Britain, and the eastern Gravettian in Central Europe and Russia. The eastern Gravettians, which include the Pavlovian culture, were specialized mammoth hunters,[8] whose remains are usually found not in caves but in open air sites.

Gravettian culture thrived on their ability to hunt animals. They utilized a variety of tools and hunting strategies. Compared to theorized hunting techniques of Neanderthals and earlier human groups, Gravettian hunting culture appears much more mobile and complex. They lived in caves or semi-subterranean or rounded dwellings which were typically arranged in small "villages". Gravettians are thought to have been innovative in the development of tools such as blunted-back knives, tanged arrowheads and boomerangs.[8] Other innovations include the use of woven nets and oil lamps made of stone.[9] Blades and bladelets were used to make decorations and bone tools from animal remains.

Gravettian culture extends across a large geographic region, as far as Estremadura in Portugal.[10] but is relatively homogeneous until about 27,000 BN.[11] They developed burial rites,[9] which included the inclusion of simple, purpose built, offerings and/or personal ornaments owned by the deceased, placed within the grave or tomb.[12] Surviving Gravettian art includes numerous cave paintings and small, portable Venus figurines made from clay or ivory, as well as jewelry objects. The fertility deities mostly date from the early period; there are over 100 known surviving examples. They conform to a very specific physical type, with large breasts, broad hips and prominent posteriors. The statuettes tend to lack facial details, and their limbs that are often broken off.[11]
During the post glacial period, evidence of the culture begins to disappear from northern Europe but was continued in areas around the Mediterranean.[11]
Animals were a primary food source for early humans of the Gravettian period.[13] Since Europe was extremely cold during this period, food sources needed to be high in energy and fat content. Testing comparisons among various human remains reveal that populations at higher latitudes placed greater dietary emphasis on meat. A defining trait distinguishing Gravettian people was their ease of mobility compared to their Neanderthal counterparts. Modern humans developed the technology and social organization that enabled them to migrate with their food source whereas Neanderthals were not adept at travelling, even with relatively sedentary herds.[14]
With their ability to move with the herds, Gravettian diets incorporated a huge variety of animal prey. The main factors were the animal's age and size. For example, first year deer offered hides most suitable for clothing, while fourth year deer contained far more meat.[15] Gravettian diet included larger animals such as mammoths, hyenas, wolves, reindeer killed with stone or bone tools, as well as hares and foxes captured with nets.[16] This time period is classified by the strong emphasis on meat consumption because agriculture had not been fully introduced nor utilized. In addition, the climate was not favorable to stable crop cultivation.[13]
Coastal Gravettians were able to avail of marine protein. From remains found in Italy and Wales, carbon dating reveals that 20-30% of Gravettian diets of coastal peoples consisted of sea animals.[17][18] Populations of lower latitudes relied more on shell fish and fish while higher latitudes' diets consisted of seals.[18]
Gravettian burin
Clubs, stones and sticks were the primary hunting tools during the Upper Paleolithic period. Bone, antler and ivory points have all been found at sites in France; but proper stone arrowheads and throwing spears did not appear until the Solutrean period (~20,000 Before Present). Due to the primitive tools, many animals were hunted at close range.[19] The typical artefact of Gravettian industry, once considered diagnostic, is the small pointed blade with a straight blunt back. They are today known as the Gravette point,[20] and were used to hunt big game. Gravettians used nets to hunt small game, and are credited with inventing the bow and arrow.[8]
Gravettian settlers tended towards the valleys that pooled migrating prey.[19] Examples found through discoveries in Gr. La Gala, a site in Southern Italy, show a strategic settlement based in a small valley.[21] As the settlers became more aware of the migration patterns of animals like red deer, they learned that prey herd in valleys, thereby allowing the hunters to avoid travelling long distances for food. Specifically in Gr. La Gala, the glacial topography forced the deer to pass through the areas in the valley occupied by humans.[21] Additional evidence of strategically positioned settlements include sites like Klithi in Greece, also placed to intercept migrating prey.[15]
Discoveries in the Czech Republic suggest that nets were used to capture large numbers of smaller prey, thus offering a quick and consistent food supply and thus an alternative to the feast/famine pattern of large game hunters. Evidence comes in the form of 4 mm thick rope preserved on clay imprints.[16] Research suggests that although no larger net imprints have been discovered, there would be little reason for them not to be made as no further knowledge would be required for their creation.[16] The weaving of nets was likely a communal task, relying on the work of both women and children.[16]
Use of animal remains
Decorations and tools
The Gravettian era landscape is most closely related to the landscape of present-day Moravia. Pavlov I in southern Moravia is the most complete and complex Gravettian site to date, and a perfect model for a general understanding of Gravettian culture. In many instances, animal remains indicate both decorative and utilitarian purposes. In the case of, for example, Arctic foxes, incisors and canines were used for decoration, while their humeri and radii bones were used as tools. Similarly, the skeletons of some red foxes contain decorative incisors and canines as well as ulnas used for awls and barbs.[22]
Some animal bones were only used to create tools. Due to their shape, the ribs, fibulas, and metapodia of horses were good for awl and barb creation. In addition, the ribs were also implemented to create different types of smoothers for pelt preparation. The shapes of hare bones are also unique, and as a result, the ulnas were commonly used as awls and barbs. Reindeer antlers, ulnas, ribs, tibias and teeth were utilised in addition to a rare documented case of a phalanx.[22] Mammoth remnants are among the most common bone remnants of the culture, while long bones and molars are also documented. Some mammoth bones were used for decorative purposes. Wolf remains were often used for tool production and decoration.[22]

^ The transition to the Epigravettian is not well-defined, and the Gravettian may be extended down to 17,000 years ago with the most inclusive definition, based on anything that may be considered Gravettian (burials, venus statues, lithics)[2]

D'ailleurs selon les auteurs et les thèmes abordés, la définition et donc les contours du Gravettien varient, parfois considérablement. Tantôt certains ensembles de la plaine russe seront intégrés sur la base des témoignages funéraires, tantôt les statuettes féminines serviront d'argument pour annexer les rives du lac Baïkal à cette supra-entité. De même, le Gravettien débuterait vers 31,000 BP ou 27,000 BP selon les régions pour finir parfois à 22,000 BP, parfois à 17,000 BP. Ce ne sont pas là de menues différences. [Besides, depending on the authors and the subjects at hand, the definition and therefore the borders of the Gravettian vary, sometimes considerably. Sometimes, certain assemblages of the Russian plains are integrated on the basis of funerary customs, other times feminine statuettes are used to annex the shores of Lake Baikal to this supra-entity. Likewise, the Gravettian would start around 31,000 or 27,000 BP depending on the regions and finish sometimes at 22,000 BP, sometimes at 17,000 BP. These are not small differences.]

Tramadol is one of the most commonly prescribed and widely used pain relievers in the world for the relief of certain pains. Many people decide to buy tramadol after trying other medicines but have not been successful in improving their problem. Therefore, more and more patients choose to use treatment to calm pains that may be moderate or more intense and have their origin in various causes. One of the reasons that can explain this extended use of tramadol lies in the new role that the internet fulfills. For some time the proliferation of online channels through which tramadol can be bought has facilitated access and many patients opt for the benefits offered by these new routes.
Unfortunately there are many pathologies that produce pain as one of the most unbearable symptoms for a person. In this article we will specifically refer to neuropathic pain and its treatment with tramadol that has achieved important success rates.
People who have to endure neuropathic pain often express feelings of burning or intense cold, stinging, tingling, electric shock, numbness, cramping, excessive heaviness and even lack of sensitivity of the affected area. Many also suffer from a hypersensitivity that triggers the onset of pain at the slightest touch -alodynia- or the so-called "hyperalgesia" when we feel very intense pain with a simple puncture. These are stimuli that other people are normal and do not come to disturb and that for these patients are intolerable. When symptoms of hyperalgesia appear, an abnormality in the neural circuits of the spinal cord (central sensitization) has already occurred, which predicts greater difficulty in the treatment and control of pain.
Radiculopathy by compression of the peripheral nerves at the end of the vertebral column (lumbar canal stenosis, sciatica or cervicobrachialgia), complex regional pain syndrome (formerly causalgia or Sudeck's dystrophy), diabetic polyneuropathy associated with diabetes , Post-herpetic neuralgia, post mastectomy, or trigeminal neuralgia are frequent manifestations of neuropathic pain.
Other diseases that often lead to the generation of neuropathic pain are: diabetes because over time this disease can cause damage to the nerve pathways; A bad nutrition that can produce alterations in the nerve cells with its consequent debilitation; Viral infections such as herpes or HIV and some tumors.
Neuropathic pain poses serious difficulties for those who suffer from it, maintaining a high level of discomfort and frustration. Many people with this type of pain may end up suffering from anxiety disorders or severe depressions, in some cases with suicidal ideation. It is not uncommon for them to avoid, as far as possible, their physical contact with other people and actively limit their social, family and work life, which is a very invalidating condition. It also causes sleep problems, which in many cases causes great fatigue and stress. Stop pain right now and buy your tramadol from 50mg online at low cost with overnight delivery to any states in america.
The suffering of neuropathic pain becomes a situation of despair for many people who fail to establish adequate control of it. Fortunately, Tramadol is a drug that has allowed the reduction of neuropathic pain as has been shown in several studies and also in the words of patients who decided to buy the drug to start treatment.
In a study published in The Cochrane Library, one of the most prestigious scientific sites, the efficacy of tramadol was evaluated in randomized controlled trials to treat neuropathic pain. The researchers investigated studies in which tramadol was given in comparison to a placebo or other medication to relieve pain. In total, six studies could be identified. Of these six studies, it was concluded that in four of them, tramadol was found to be much more effective than placebo, since significant pain reduction was evidenced. In another study conducted by Globe et al, tramadol was compared to clomipramine. We analyzed 10 patients in total and six of them were able to obtain a level of pain relief that the researchers rated between good and excellent compared to 5 individuals taking the other drug.
Another study by Leppert et al showed that both tramadol and morphine provided a considerable reduction of neuropathic pain after two, three, four and even five weeks. This implies an advantage for tramadol, since morphine is more potent, it can trigger greater and more serious adverse effects than tramadol. In another study, it was found that tramadol has a significant therapeutic effect on paresthesia, allodynia and pain caused by touch.
There are some authors who have considered that in patients with acute neuropathic pain or who have suffered certain relapses of chronic neuropathic pain, tramadol can be administered as a first line treatment, when it has not been possible to control with other drugs. In these cases the dosage should be thoroughly controlled.
In conclusion, there is a vast literature that has provided sufficient evidence indicating that tramadol can be used effectively and safely to deal with neuropathic pain. It is a reliable medicine and that an increasing number of people suffering from this unbearable ailment, decides to buy by taking advantage of the benefits offered by online channels.
