Due to numerous glitches and bugs in these original versions of the game, they were amended and re-released as the more commonly known Red and Blue versions.


Hi there, this is Andrija from… well, ShapeBlue! I've been working here for a month now and I thought that I'd share my views of working for the company.
Before I move to the actual topic, let me share just a little bit of background about myself.
Before joining ShapeBlue, I was working as a Cloud System Engineer for two different Swiss-based Public Cloud providers, both utilizing CloudStack to provide IaaS services for local (Swiss) and international customers – many of which (as you can probably guess) were serious financial institutions (Switzerland being considered a big privacy and security center). We even had customers connecting all the way from South America to their infrastructure for daily business, all managed by CloudStack – and it just worked flawlessly!
During my time with the Swiss guys, I had the pleasure (with my colleagues) to lead and build their CloudStack infrastructure from scratch. Here I gained some serious knowledge and experience on this topic. I also had the opportunity to work with some nice storage solutions, from NetApp SolidFire distributed All-Flash Storage (providing block-level storage to CloudStack VMs), to Cloudian Hyperstore S3 Object Storage solution providing (you can guess by its name…) S3 object storage with 100% Native S3 API compatibility. Both solutions had their challenges of integration into existing environment and I was lucky enough to pull the strings here and lead the thing myself. Really fun time! Did I mention CloudStack? Yes, we did quite a decent job here, we made a lot of tweaks and improvements, migrations and decent customer support.
But after 5 years with CloudStack in a service provider environment , it was time for me to move on and improve my cloud building skills even more, so my next logical step was to pull Giles Sirett, ShapeBlue CEO, for a quick coffee on the last CloudStack Conference (I even didn't have to pay for the coffee – it was a free one!). The rest is pretty much history – I'm now paving my way into consultancy as a Cloud Architect at ShapeBlue.
After spending a month here at ShapeBlue, I can honestly say that I'm nothing short of being impressed with both the people (colleagues) and the processes inside ShapeBlue. I was already used to Swiss guys being strict and very well organized, but my feeling is that ShapeBlue has moved this to a whole new level. When I joined the company, besides having a dedicated colleague as a mentor (hi there Dag – thanks for all your help!) helping me to find my way around the company, I also got proper training on many different tools and processes used in company, from some internal infrastructure stuff, to customer support tools, processes and SLAs, to many different things in general. In fact , this was a revelation when compared to the old RTFM-it-yourself way (stands for Read The [Insert asterisks ***] Manual), in case you were wondering) that I'd experienced at previous companies. The people at ShapeBlue are supportive, the working atmosphere is just great, with tons of seriousness across the board but with a healthy dose of (mainly) British humor in the middle of hard work – to make you wake up and warm up during these cold winter days. From time to time we even get cats jumping from our Slack channel.
After being mostly in a technical leadership position in my previous jobs, I'm now, for the first time in my professional carrier, part of the team with a more experienced guys than me – and I'm really happy about that – it's always nice to be able to get some help in case you need advice – but individual initiative and engagement is something that is strongly respected in ShapeBlue. One of the interesting things is, that the guys in the ShapeBlue Leadership Team do actually listen to engineers and take their advice / opinion – something you don't necessarily find in every company. It's a very collaborative and not authoritative environment – a thing that everybody respects here.
So far, I have been tasked with quite a few interesting things to work on: from delivering the famous ShapeBlue Bootcamp to one of our new colleagues, playing around with some more interesting CloudStack setups (with different hypervisors) and been included in some customer projects and support stuff – all in all a good start!
I'm based in Belgrade, Serbia (for all you techies, that is 44.0165° N, 21.0059° E ) – a country known for good cuisine, but mostly for ćevapi and šljivovica (national drink). Serbia is also home to Novak Djokovic, the world No. 1 in men's singles tennis (this is the guy who regularly beats Roger Federer, for the record!).
In my free time I'm hanging around with my 3 princesses and sometimes I manage to squeeze some time for gym, music or very light electronic projects.
Talk to you later, Andrija.

The shortlisted contenders across all nine categories have been announced!
2017 PMWX Awards: Shortlist announced!
Ahead of the this year's event, the 2017 Professional MotorSport World Expo Awards shortlist has been announced. As with every year, we have to thank our readers for the quantity and quality of nominations made for this year's awards. In combination with our own suggestions, we feel that 2017 has been one of the most diverse, yet strongest years of recent time.
2017 has seen several championships undergo wide sweeping regulations changes, which have resulted in faster cars but much closer competition. In addition to this, the electrification of both road and competition cars continues apace, as represented by the increasing presence of electric technologies in the nominations. Celebrating the very best of all forms of motorsport, here is the 2017 Professional Motorsport World Expo Awards finalists.
• Carl Faux, lead engineer, Team B.M.R.
A new category for 2016, and back once again, the Outstanding Contribution to Motorsport Award honours those who have gone above and beyond what is required in this industry – often at great personal expense.
The winners will be announced on November 15th; the first evening of the 2017 Professional MotorSport World Expo.


60 titles launch, 23 close through the first half of 2015.
While first-half magazine launches outpaced title shutdowns for the sixth year in a row, the bottom line isn't great: net growth is dwindling.
First, the good news. MediaFinder's report says that 60 magazines started publishing in the first six months of 2015, while just 23 shuttered—a net gain of 37 publications.
There are signs that the industry is stabilizing, as the 23 closures are a low since MediaFinder started publishing its tallies in 2009, and are fewer than a tenth of the high-water mark set that year—279 magazines stopped publishing in the first half of 2009.
The bad news is that launches are falling at an even faster rate. Gains are better than losses, but net additions to the industry have been steadily dropping for the last four years. And with a 41-percent decline in growth year-over-year, this marks the worst first half since the recession (there was a net gain of just three magazines in 2010).
The lack of investment in new titles echoes the dearth of M&A activity in the beginning of 2015. According to Petsky Prunier, deal value is way down for both consumer (-100 percent) and B2B (-87 percent) magazine media, with volume only slightly better (-70 percent and 22 percent, respectively).
*Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi, tells a different story though. While he doesn't track closures, Husni says 118 regular-frequency magazines launched in the first half of 2015.
That total is down slightly from last year's 123 launches, but well above the number of startups in each of the prior four years.
Husni and MediaFinder each have different methodologies and encapsulate different segments of the business, but it's notable that one trendline is pointing up, as the other points down.
*Editor's note: Husni's statistics were added after they were published on July 1.

VISITOR Vinyl Record
Vinyl LP pressing. 2009 album from the Classic Rock heroes. The three original band members, Phil Mogg (vocals), Andy Parker (drums) and Paul Raymond (guitar, keyboards) plus American world-class guitarist Vinnie Moore composed more than 35 tracks for The Visitor, 10 of which form the basis for the album. The Visitor sees the band benefiting especially from their collaboration with Vinnie Moore, who joined UFO in autumn 2003 and has made an excellent impression. It's no surprise that The Visitor features the same musicality and energy which UFO fans have come to cherish from the band's tours in the past five years. Traditional rock music that could hardly sound more classic, with gritty hooks, Vinnie Moore's powerful riffs and leads, and Phil Mogg's lyrics full of eccentric humor, as well as a talent for observation and occasionally great depth.

Eastleigh Borough Council received a small grant from the DCCE programme to replace two existing diesel car club vehicles with electric Renault Zoes. The car club is operated by Co-wheels. The new vehicles were relocated from the Council offices to a more prominent on-street location next to Eastleigh Bus Station (within easy walking distance of the rail station.) Eastleigh Borough Council also made the decision to replace the two other car club vehicles with the low emission Toyota Yaris (hybrids).
The new vehicles (EVs) have encouraged greater use of the car club. The project also aimed to appeal to other business users who were not previously making use of the car club because the location of vehicles in the Council car park was inconvenient.
Around two thirds of the current car club usage is from Council staff. Many staff had not experienced using an EV (or an automatic car) previously. Co-wheels in partnership with the Council have provided training for users and an easy to use 'how to' guide for the EVs as well as videos on the staff intranet.
As a result of the EVs purchased, the Council has improved its CO2 emission associated with staff mileage. Emissions savings will further increase in 2017 as a result of the two newly purchased Yaris hybrid vehicles. The Council is also examining the financial viability of adding a fifth vehicle to the car club fleet to expand the coverage, subject to funding being identified.
The project also provided access to the car club cars with the Solent Go smartcard, which can be used on bus services, ferries and hovercraft in the region. By adding Co-wheels cars to the Solent Go card it has become much easier for users to include car club use in multi modal journeys and has helped to improve awareness of the car club. Enterprise Car Club vehicles in Southampton are also included on the Solent Go Card.

Søren Selin
Kopenhagen (DK)
restaurantaoc.dk
** Michelin
Danish Dish of the Year (2013/ 2014/ 2017)
Søren Selin is a master of the senses, taking Nordic Cuisine from punk to aristocracy. The Danish two-star chef seeks to emphasise all that is wonderful in local nature, as well as stimulating as many of our senses as possible: Taste, vision, colour and smell are at the centre of the dining experience. His culinary philosophy is positioned in line with the modern style, using fresh Nordic produce sourced from both Land and Sea – a concept of pure indulgence. Søren Selin simply creates iconic dishes, such as "Baked onion with caviar & elderflower" or "Charred Jerusalem artichoke with caramel and hazelnut" - complete works of art to pleasure all the senses. "I want my dishes not only to be delicious, but also optically beautiful and surprising. My passion has always been to cook at the very highest level whilst further developing my cuisine at all times: A local style of cooking rooted in Danish ingredients and seasons, a natural cuisine where the raw materials are the stars", explains Søren Selin.
The principle of the Greek philosopher Aristotle: "In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous", is the motto of the AOC restaurant, where Søren Selin began as Chef de Cuisine in 2013 and since has received only top marks from all Danish and international food critics. Since 2015, he has held a second Michelin star and has already won the most important Nordic gastronomy award "Danish Dish of The Year" three times, the last time being in 2017 with his dish "BBQ with plaice". He owns the restaurant together with sommelier Christian Aarø. The team work closely together, striving to achieve perfection within the always playful Nordic Cuisine, where taste and select wines from both the old and new world regions, combine in a way where food and wine accompany each other in perfect balance and harmony. Appropriately, the AOC is located in the centre of Copenhagen's old town, in a historic wine cellar originating in the 17th Century.
Selin has a historical culinary background at Le Relais Louis XIII (2 Michelin stars) and Jules Verne (1 Michelin star), both situated in Paris, and at the Alberto K in Copenhagen, where he spent four years as Executive Head Chef of the restaurant, including managing all food related matters at the iconic Hotel Royal.

Akira Kurosawa Video Essays
The video essay is a very suitable format for discussing films and filmmakers. Ever since the relevant technology and online distribution became available to just about everyone, Akira Kurosawa and his works have inspired quite a number of such videos, with new ones appearing regularly.

Egyptian security forces seized a cache of heavy weapons in mountains roughly 48 miles south of Rafah the Gaza strip.
One report said that 30 anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank weapons, 3,000 bullets and rifles were confiscated, but that no suspects were caught.
Hamas' weapons smuggling operations continue from Egypt into Gaza. The weapons, training, and support continues to come from Iran.
Given that Israel told Egypt that it's Arab neighbor must halt smuggling of weapons and other materials into Gaza as a pre-condition to any possible ceasefire with Hamas, this incident should not come as a surprise.
Egyptian sources said that the mountain region where the weapons where discovered was also used by terrorist groups charged with the 2004 and 2005 bombings of Egyptian resorts in Taba and Sharm el-Sheikh.

Lesson #1: Introducing Eugenics
Lesson #2: Buck vs Bell (1927)
Lesson #3: Eugenics in the Modern Day Debate
Appendix 1: Implementing Standards
Bibliography and Resources
Genetic Testing: Modern-Day Eugenics?
Joseph A. Corsetti
"Eugenics is the science which deals with all the influences that improves and develop the inborn qualities of a race" argued Sir Francis Galton in an editorial published in Nature in May 1904. The brief article is a not a scientific study, but serves as a succinct treatise of Galton's work and his motivations. His argument is persuasive, as his intentions are genuine and aimed at creating a better society, a society that would not be plagued by disease and immoral behaviors.
Eugenicists called for the improvement of the human race through better breeding. In Heredity and Eugenics, Charles Davenport postulated that with proper application, Eugenics could solve the social problems that were plaguing society at the beginning of the 20th century. Most importantly, Eugenics was used to justify the separation of the different races to ensure that the population of the US would not become more "mercurial and darker in pigmentation". The Eugenicists would win their ultimate victory in 1924 with the passage of a sweeping immigration reform bill limiting the number of immigrants from what some Eugenicists considered to be the less desirable corners of the Earth.
This unit will have three main themes. First, it will examine the social conditions that existed in the late 19th century that allowed the Eugenics Movement to emerge and flourish. Part of this effort will include looking at the writings of Charles Davenport, Sir Francis Galton, and other early eugenicists. Also included in this historical piece will be an examination of the 1924 immigration law that created the quota system that would be used for than 40 years. Second, this unit will examine how the Eugenics Movement influenced other social constructs of the time period including methods of controlling the less desirable. This includes the Supreme Court decision in Buck vs. Bell (1927) and the sterilization of mentally incompetent individuals. The third part of the unit will focus on the way eugenic science creeps into our present day life. This will mainly take the shape of examining the use of prenatal genetic testing and its impact. It will examine the social, ethical, and moral issues associated with genuine hereditary diseases, and the best way to address these valid and genuine concerns.
To approach controversial moments in history with dignity, it is imperative that the teacher remains unbiased. Of particular concern with this unit is not the history being studied, but the present day debate over genetic testing. In the unit design and classroom instruction, it will be necessary that the conversation and lessons are structured enough to allow all voices to be heard and validated.


Neteller or Moneybookers/Skrill for sports betting?
Moneybookers (sorry Skrill) every time. I have always wondered why anyone would use Neteller. Is it any good? What is the benefits of it over Skrill?
I've had experience with both. And for a while was using both. That in itself can be a problem in that many bookies, and Pinnacle is one, insist on you withdrawing to whichever they deem you deposited with. It became extremely tricky working out where I had to withdraw to and how much before I could use the other which I had reason to prefer.
In the end I sacked Neteller and have since used Moneybookers exclusively. Primarily because Moneybookers were quicker with withdrawals and pay clear funds into my bank account whereas Neteller used "wires" which for some reason resulted in my bank charging a fee and putting a hold on clearance.
I got VIP status at Moneybookers and they are forever running cash back promotions which I enjoy. Never had any real issues using them. A strong recommendation is to insist on getting a security token from them which makes is near impossible for a hacker to get into your account.
Has anyone had any problem with Moneybookers/Skrill or Neteller?
And is there any other online payment solution that sports bettors like to use?
I used Moneybookers for a while, but had a problem with them over a password. I withdrew some money from a bookie and tried to log into my Moneybookers account to find it locked. When I asked why it was locked (which it hadn't been the previous week) I was told it was for security purposes because I had not recently changed my password. I had not been warned that it was necessary to change my password to avoid the account being locked. The only way I could get my account unlocked was to privide ID. I sent ID, which was rejected because the resolution was not good enough, and they pointed me to a page to upload a scan of my passport, which had to be in colour. When I tried to upload the scan I found that the page would not accept an upload of a file of the required size, and when I reduced the size it was again not clear enough. Eventually I managed to email them an acceptable scan, and they did unlock my account. The whole process took about a week and was worrying as I had nearly £3000 in there. I promptly removed most of it and have hardly used Moneybookers since.
I am aware that other people have had no problems at all with Moneybookers, and it does seem to be the preferred e-wallet to use with bookies. However I found them difficult to deal with and totally unsympathetic to my problem, to which they would only respond that it was for my own good and unless I could provide acceptable ID I would not get my money back. My account had been verified when I opened it so I was rather surprised to be asked for further ID from them. On the plus side I never had any issues with transactions to and from bookies using Moneybookers, and withdrawals from bookies (mainly Bet24 and Jenningsbet) usually arrived very quickly.
That's odd Corner as I don't think I've ever changed my passwords on two accounts I have with Skrill and never had my account locked.
As to other payment solutions: For funding those books which don't take Skrill I find Poli very efficient. Money out of bank account into bookie's instantly.
For withdrawals, EFT to bank account, generally overnight.
Well here first I have to say that I'm an exception as I am a Turkish citizen who tries to find the optimum method as we have strict legislation about betting. I think Neteller is faster and simple. In moneybookers it takes too long to transfer money from your Skrill account to your bank account . On the other hand Neteller's master card is open for use in any bank ATM. When you use MB you can transfer the money to your bank account and withdraw from the bank (unlimited) with your ID ,tough you can only use Neteller card at atms where you have daily withdrawal limits which can be the only negative skill of NEtller.
I have been using ******* for the last few years and have found them to be brilliant. I've recommended them to my friends all over the place as they accept so many different currencies.


When (not) to buy ?
Using it is quite straight-forward, as you just need your AppleID to login and the interface resembles both the iPhone's SMS-app and iChat's text-chatting.
Messages will be part of Apple's next MacOS (called OSX 10.8 "Mountain Lion") which will be released this summer. The beta-version will run on MacOSX 10.7 "Lion" only, and will stop working after the introduction of OSX 10.8 "Mountain Lion". (A procedure we've seen before with other beta-applications like FaceTime for Mac.
fixed : get iCloud on the officially unsupported iPhone 3G – sync works !
Hit the Next button and wait for the screen with IMAP and POP buttons at the top. IMAP is selected by default.
Go Settings>Mail, Contacts,Calendars> and click the name of the account you just created to open the settings so we can do one more edit.
Delete this whole server name and paste the URL-name you just copied in its place.
Click "Done" and wait for the account settings to update.
Now open your Calendars iOS-app and you should find your "iCloud" calendar updating just like it does on any other iCloud enabled device.
Go Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> and click the name of the account you just created to open the settings so we can do one more edit.
– make sure the contacts you are adding on your Mac are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
Oddly, when restarting the Mac mini in 'Rescue mode' (pressing Apple(CMD)+R during startup), AirPort instantly connects using that same AR9280 card… ???!!
…but that doesn't last if you start up 10.7.3 the normal way.

ABC's 'Beauty and the Beast' Will Make You See the Music in a 'Whole Different Light'
Emily Aslanian December 11, 2022
ABC/Christopher Willard
Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration
'Beauty and the Beast' Special Honors Angela Lansbury & More Must-See Moments
See Original Belle & Gaston Cameo in 'Beauty and the Beast' Special
Let us pull up a chair. Disney fans are cordially invited to be ABC's guest for Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration of the fairy tale as old as time. The 1991 classic — the first animated film to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Picture — is being feted with a two-hour special that, similar to 2019's The Little Mermaid Live!, will combine scenes from the movie with live performances of songs in front of an audience.
Playing the bookish Belle and the cursed and lonely Beast are Grammy-winning R&B songstress Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson (stage name H.E.R.) and Broadway vet Josh Groban.
(Credit: ABC/Christopher Willard)
"When you hear Gabby and Josh sing together, it is pure magic," says exec producer Raj Kapoor, who notes that they worked with original composer Alan Menken to bring new elements to the score, including a H.E.R. guitar solo during "Belle (Reprise)." "You'll see Belle in a whole different light," Kapoor adds. "Gabby's brought so much joy and made Belle even more relevant."
That magic keeps flowing throughout the rest of the cast. Inside the castle, Martin Short shines as Lumière, the suave human turned candelabra. Is he using the French accent? Oui. "But he does Marty's version of it," Kapoor teases. "It's so charming. It's Martin Short meets Lumière." We can't wait to see what that means for the showstopping "Be Our Guest," which Kapoor promises is "one of the most ambitious and spectacular dance numbers that's ever been put together for a television special."
H.E.R. & Josh Groban Are 'Beauty and the Beast' in First Photo
Joining Short is David Alan Grier, who clocks in as enchanted majordomo Cogs-worth, and the duo might steal the show. "Their chemistry is out of control," Kapoor says of the actors, working together for the first time. Meanwhile, country queen Shania Twain has a big saucer to fill in the late Angela Lansbury's role of Mrs. Potts, the teapot housekeeper. "There's a very special tribute [to Lansbury] when we do 'Beauty and the Beast,'" Kapoor says. "It is so touching and beautiful."

Lori Portillo, Thunderbird Lodge Retreat's owner, was born and raised in Paramount, in the heart of Los Angeles. In 1982, she moved with her husband, Abel, to Joshua Tree. Lori was immediately drawn to the stunning area around La Contenta Road, near the Covington Flats entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park. Her attraction was due to the exquisite beauty of the landscape, wildlife, and tranquility.
Prior to moving to the community, she visited since the early 1960s to spend time with family who lived here. In the 1930s, her grandfather, a former LA police officer and Texas cowboy, relocated to the area. When he first arrived, there was only a dirt road from Banning on – for about 30 miles. He was a well-known local character. During prohibition, he made his own beer and also ran the cabins now known as Willie Boy's Restaurant in Morongo Valley. Lori and her family visited often on the weekends and during summers.
Five years ago, she started converting homesteader cabins that had previously been longterm rentals. After the financial collapse of 2008, as well as surviving both her husband and mother dying (in 2011 and 2010 respectively), Lori was at a crossroads in her life. She was also in a bit of financial panic. And had to figure something out. Lori decided to just go for it.... starting the Thunderbird Lodge Retreat. Her vision is to create an oasis in the desert with comfortable, charming spaces for adventurous, artistic travelers.
Consequently, the project turned out to be a perfect outlet for Lori's creative sensibilities. She is a lifelong artist who always had an interest in tools. Lori infuses each Thunderbird Lodge Retreat cabin with unique touches. These include custom tile work, eclectic vintage furnishings, shadow boxes, and, in the case of the new Ranch House & Saloon, a Western "town." The town, El Dorado, is in the Ranch House backyard and features a functional saloon with gaming tables.
Lori is particularly committed to incorporating recycled materials into each of her cabins. This allows her to not only to divert the waste stream but also take advantage of the aesthetic beauty in the scavenged objects. The history imbued in the objects also adds to the character of each Thunderbird Lodge Retreat cabin. While much of the carpentry and creative work in the houses is completed by Lori, she is also grateful for the building skills that she has learned from others. Lori has received tremendous support from a number of friends and relatives, including her cousins and brothers, among many others.
In 2011, she converted her first homesteader cabin, the Shell House. Today, she has seven operating vacation rental spaces.

Q: Using Puppeteer to load VueJS & Vuetify app I'm using puppeteer to create a PDF of an HTML page, which uses Vue & Vuetify:
import { launch } from 'puppeteer';
.
.
.
const browser = await launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
page.setContent(html, { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' });
const pdf = await page.pdf({ format: 'A4' });
await browser.close();
return pdf

The HTML looks similar to this:

 ... VUE & VUETIFY COMPONENT

However when the browser opens up, it looks like Vue & Vuetify haven't loaded properly.

A: <v-app> is rendered with the v-application class, so you could use page.waitFor('.v-application') to check that your app is ready:
page.setContent(html);

await page.waitFor('.v-application');
// <v-app> assumed to be mounted here

const pdf = await page.pdf({ format: 'A4' });
...

Also be aware that your example seems to be missing important stylesheets that Vuetify requires. Don't forget to add them:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700,900" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mdi/font@4.x/css/materialdesignicons.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vuetify@2.x/dist/vuetify.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

A: Turns out my HTML string included some unrecognised characters, so thats why my Vue app was not rendering correctly.
Doing the following worked for me:
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

const htmlString = readFileSync('path-to-html-file').toString();

page.setContent(htmlString, { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' });

Sylvain Wallez indirectly reminded me that I, too, have my 10-year anniversary in the Open Source world this year. On October 24, 2000, my first post went to the fop-dev mailing list (Apache FOP developer list), 11 months after the Apache FOP project had started.
I had started a new job back then which began with a project that should format invoices from the health sector to PostScript and print them on large-scale printers including automatic packaging. And for that XSL-FO looked like the right technology, but FOP had to learn how to use fonts other than the base 14 set (Helvetica, Times, Courier, Symbol and ZapfDingbats). Finishing some work started by someone else, my first contribution was initial support for custom Type 1 fonts.
Today, I'm probably the FOP contributor with the longest service record in the project.
I went through the hype phase (2001-2003) as well as the difficult time of the redesign after the famous 0.20.5 release which saw an almost complete exchange of the project team between 2003 and 2005. From 2005 on, we worked towards a stable FOP again that quickly surpassed the old 0.20.5 release for which soon there was almost no expertise around anymore. It's unbelievable how many people still use 0.20.5 and say "we can't upgrade". Many of the problems they have are simply solved in the current release. Anyway, since this year's 1.0 release, FOP finally doesn't carry that undeserved taint of an 0.x software anymore. It was just a version number but not an indicator of FOP's production readiness. The initial goal of a complete implementation of the XSL 1.0 standard was just unrealistic. There's not even one commercial implementation on the market which achieved that goal. Many people came and went during all that time. FOP is what it is today through contributions from all of them.
Lately, AFP is a big topic where FOP took big leaps forward in the last 2-3 years. Color is also becoming more and more important as color printing gets cheaper and transpromo is gaining interest. Even in today's world the number of pages printed still increases every year. Apache FOP is well positioned to cover the printed document as well as the electronic document. XSL is an established and accepted technology today. And Apache FOP is often the "entry drug" for people who start XSL. Many stay with it producing millions of pages each year. During the stagnation of the redesign phase, some FOP users turned to commercial implementations like RenderX or AntennaHouse. After 2005 I saw many switch back again after the major improvements because some of the commercial implementations couldn't offer much more but had a higher TCO depending on the use case or because they offered unsatisfactory support and couldn't influence the development direction enough. Apache FOP might face some difficult time ahead since the layout engine (the core) didn't see considerable development lately. Some features like table markers, flow maps and auto-table layout would do FOP some good but it won't be easy to implement.
Between 2000 and 2003, Apache FOP was part of my job and quickly became a hobby, too. I've developed Barcode4J (an open source barcode generator) during that time which plugs nicely into FOP. From 2004 to 2005, FOP was just a hobby as I worked part-time for a small company maintaining a model-driven application framework. In 2005 I went freelance offering commercial support, consulting and development services around Apache FOP. At times, FOP created up to 90% of my income. I did not get rich, of course, but the fun counts, too. It wasn't always fun. Heated arguments over mostly non-features nibbled at my motivation which triggered me to reduce my involvement in FOP a bit. This year was dominated by two interesting projects that involved producing full-color PDFs, both Web-to-Print. One is Swiss Post's DirectFactory, a web plattform where you can design and send postcards (or even chocolate wrappers now). The other was for a company that produces photo books, calendars and other gifts from within the browser. That finally got me back to a user role a bit. Before that I basically just hacked FOP without really using it myself. It's interesting how the perspective shifts again when switching back to the user side. This is particularly important to me now that the EUR, GBP and USD are very weak against the CHF. My commercial support business gets increasingly more difficult because most of my clients are located outside Switzerland. And that means I have to shift my main focus to domestic clients but without leaving my past clients in a void.
I'd like to note something interesting in that context: In all my freelancer time since 2005, I've never picked up the phone to look around for projects. I was lucky that they always found me, often even at the right times. A large part of it, I'm sure, is my presence on the Apache FOP Users Mailing List. By answering questions, people recognize a recurring name at some point. When some users run into a problem they can't solve easily, they often turn to me for a higher service level than is possible on the users mailing list. That said, I believe there is room for a good developer to get challenging tasks as part of a commercial support service for Apache FOP, especially if he's not afraid of the complicated topic of paper layout and he's not located in Switzerland which is currently just too expensive due to the currency weaknesses. Such an additional resource would be good for FOP.
Last year, I've started to develop an output management server which uses Apache FOP as its main formatter. Although a minimal version is now live working nicely for the DirectFactory, it turned out to be too big an endeavour for a one-man show besides end-user projects and the FOP commercial support. So I'll be investing in a smaller product first that hopefully will create a little multiplicator for me which commercial support services simply can't provide. To wrap up this admittedly lengthy post, I need to say that Open Source is a very important topic for me. When done right, it is such an effective way to pool resources and to create high-quality software. Getting rich with it (not that I need to be) is difficult, so the right way is probably somewhere in between commercial and open source products. My wish is that more users of Open Source software think about contributing something back to the many products they use. There are various ways to do that. Too often, people treat OSS as freeware which it simply isn't.

Divesting in countries that are in blatant violation of international and humanitarian law is not new, but with Israel, it needs to end.
To understand the resilience of the Palestinian community is to take a more detailed--albeit less dramatic--look at what is happening on the ground behind the bleak daily headlines.
The Palestinians are doing what any American citizen would do: we are fighting for our rights.
Israel must choose today between peace on internationally recognized terms with the dispossessed indigenous people of their State, or face another half-century of isolation with the backdrop of a rapidly encroaching demographics dilemma.
Today, Ariel Sharon and his government are creating a third wave of Palestinian refugees by attacking those very same refugees who, decades ago, fled for their lives and have been living under illegal Israeli occupation ever since.
The Palestinian collective memory is blistered by the fact that Palestine was violated, with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.


Disassembled and stored in a trailer twenty years ago, Harriet Beecher Stowe's house has now been restored and placed online for sale.
Constructed in 1811, the Litchfield house served as abolitionist writer Harriet Beecher Stowe's birthplace and residence until she reached 14. Eleven children lived under the its roof until it became a sanitarium, and was subsequently purchased by a private school.
The Forman School sold this property for a puny one dollar in 1997, and it was later deconstructed for storage. The buyer had initially intended to establish a museum showcasing the early history of the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" but the plan was forfeited and the remains of the house sold to a Woodbury antiques dealer, Art Pappas.

Unused Johnson & Johnson COVID doses are piling up as FDA waits to see if shelf life can be extended

The Biden administration is encouraging states to hold on to hundreds of thousands of soon-to-expire COVID vaccine doses from Johnson & Johnson, given the possibility that additional data will show the shots are viable beyond their expiration date at month's end.
Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, told state officials during a White House call Tuesday that they could store expired doses until new data shows whether the vaccines are safe to use, according to multiple state officials.
State health officials have strenuously warned vaccine administrators against using expired doses. Now, though, the FDA appears optimistic that the Johnson & Johnson expiration dates — which begin to kick in later this month — could be extended, according to state officials who were on the call.
"This is really welcome news," said Dr. Joseph Kanter, state health officer for the Louisiana Department of Health. Louisiana has 14,000 J&J doses that will expire this month. "I think at the end of the day there'll be less waste."
The federal government has delivered 21.4 million doses of the company's vaccine to states, but just more than half — 11.2 million — have been administered,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The quantity is a fraction of shipments of Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID vaccine, which are approaching 200 million doses, as well as Moderna's shot, which stands at more than 150 million doses.
As demand for vaccination has dwindled across the nation, state officials have stepped up public pleas for holdouts to get a shot. They've held discussions with the Biden administration about how to avert a glut of J&J doses — hundreds of thousands at a minimum — from going to waste. On Monday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said 200,000 J&J doses would expire June 23 and the state had no legal way to send unused doses to other states or countries.
Through the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed initiative, the federal government awarded J&J a $1 billion contract to deliver 100 million doses of its COVID vaccine.
The J&J single-dose vaccine lasts three months under refrigeration and two years frozen. Extending the expiration date is seen as a more feasible option for quickly preserving thousands of doses, as opposed to redistributing them to other states or countries, state officials say.

"There aren't that many states right now that are needing more vaccine than what they have in hand," said Dr. Marcus Plescia, chief medical officer of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. "There's enough out there."
Federal officials believe data about the expiring June doses from an ongoing stability study will come in in roughly a month, two state officials said.
"We also continue to conduct stability testing with the goal of extending the amount of time our covid-19 vaccine can be stored before expiry," a J&J spokesperson said. "We will share further information as we are able to."
The White House declined to specify the number of J&J doses nationally that will expire this month. The FDA declined to comment on Woodcock's remarks.
Once viewed as crucial to the U.S. vaccination effort for persuading on-the-fence people to get the single-shot dose, J&J has played a modest role. Officials partly attribute that to federal regulators temporarily halting its use in April after reports of rare but serious blood clots.
"That just appears to have slowed demand," Plescia said. The company previously said it would deliver the 100 million doses by the end of June.
As far as Jim Mangia, chief executive of St. John's Well Child and Family Center, can tell, the demand ground to a halt once the FDA OK'd resuming use of the J&J vaccine. Mangia said his network of 26 clinics in the Los Angeles area has more than 14,000 doses on hand that county officials have been unwilling to take back.
He said patients who liked the one-shot benefit requested it before the safety concerns, but since then there have been no requests. "Whenever we offer it, everyone says no," he said.
Mangia said his clinic network is seeing overall distribution of the vaccines remain steady as sites expand hours and offer Friday night vaccine events for those concerned about missing work because of possible side effects. But given the lack of interest in J&J's vaccine, he said, he doesn't think moving the expiration date will improve matters.
Officials in West Virginia have more than 20,000 doses of J&J's vaccine on hand but little backlog of other COVID vaccines, said state COVID czar Dr. Clay Marsh, who is also vice president of West Virginia University Health Sciences. Officials offered the excess to other states, but there were no takers. Marsh said they approached the federal government about sending the unused doses to countries that need it, but have learned the logistics are challenging.

"If we're not able to use something that can save lives, we're trying to see if there's someone who can," he said.
As of Tuesday, 52% of Americans had received at least one dose of COVID vaccine, according to the CDC.
Officials have also engaged in public finger-pointing about the expiring doses, with some state and local officials calling for more federal help to redistribute the doses already delivered. Meanwhile, Andy Slavitt, White House senior adviser for the COVID-19 response, noted in a Tuesday call with reporters that vaccine doses ordered by state officials "should end up in people's arms" and governors should work directly with the FDA on proper storage.
"There are plenty of people across the country, in every state, that still haven't been vaccinated, that are eligible, that are at risk and need to get vaccinated," he said.

Q: Generating "appsecret_proof" for restfb with Scala I am trying to get Facebook user info using restfb 1.18.1 with Scala and Play 2.3
for testing I have generated the Access Token using Graph API Explorer
now i am using following code to access user info
val MY_ACCESS_TOKEN = "abc"
    val  MY_APP_SECRET = "xyz"
    val facebookClient = new DefaultFacebookClient(MY_ACCESS_TOKEN  ,MY_APP_SECRET )
    val fbuser = facebookClient.fetchObject("me",classOf[User])
    log.info("User first  name :{} ", fbuser.getFirstName)
    log.info("User last name : {}" , fbuser.getLastName)
    log.info("User Email : {}" , fbuser.getEmail)

but i am encountering an exception here
> play.api.Application$$anon$1: Execution
> exception[[FacebookGraphException: Received Facebook error response of
> type GraphMethodException: Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API
> argument (code 100, subcode null)]]

when i try to make FbClient instance  without MY_APP_SECRET  like this
val facebookClient = new DefaultFacebookClient(MY_ACCESS_TOKEN  )

it runs fine and i get info in response from facebook
i have searched but i have not found anything to generate appsecret_proof with scala
please guide me

A: Please make sure your genearted access token for the right application in Graph API Explorer. It was a common mistake for me to generate token for default application selected there. If it's the case your token does not match your secret and this cause the error.
Also if you ask graph explorer for "/me" it'll return you only "id" and "name" as well. If you want additional information specify what exactly you need, for example "/me?fields=id,name,about,age_range"

Q: Live Agent chat persistence while user navigates through the website Live agent is integrated in my project on the bottom of the screen. When I click "Start chat" button, it loads an iframe with the chat content within it:

The problem is: When I navigate through the website, the iframe closes, and when the user clicks "Start Chat" again, it just loads up the form.
I wanted to persist the chat connection while the user navigates, using cookies or something, is it possible to do that?


My deadline is coming up fast. Usually this type of thing never bothers me. But this time it does.
I'm a fast writer, reader, and have turned my work ahead of schedule. I'm the excellent planner. But what I don't want is for my work to look Rushed. And this is why I'm feeling a clutched feeling in my chest. Because I fell short on a plot line. When I did this but continued to write instead of correcting right away I set myself up for a stagnate pause. Not really writer's block because I knew exactly how I want the story to end. And where it should go. But I couldn't seem to get there. An event came first that should have come later, causing my whole middle to be thrown off.
What do you do? Do you keep writing and fix it later? Hoping there is enough time before the deadline?
I chose to open a new word doc. Copy and paste the work up to the point where my story took a nose dive, and then worked in some new chapters. Then I plan on going back to the original and copying and pasting the rest of the chapters. Fixing the flow and the Stagnate Pause.
Is this cutting it close? Yes. But you know what I'd rather do it right then say "eh" and just keep it as is. With the hopes of fixing later.


Before the Internet began taking over, if you were asked where to get birth control, what would you answer? Most would recommend that you go see your doctor, talk about the medication and then receive a prescription. While this is certainly still one way to do it, it's not the ONLY way. The ability to buy birth control pills online is changing the way women can protect their sexual health. Many women still are unable to pay high insurance premiums and this can block them from getting the health care they so badly need. When the only way to buy birth control pills is to go in to see the doctor first, you are alienating many women from getting their prescription. Now if someone asks you where to get birth control, you have another answer – you can buy birth control online.
Ordering birth control pills online is actually really easy, and when done correctly, very safe. So what makes ordering birth control pills online so easy? Well, first off, there is no need to make an appointment to go see your doctor! Most offices are busy and getting an appointment is aggravating. Plus, you then have to go and get your prescription filled at a pharmacy. Buying birth control pills online actually eliminates all of these steps.
So you are probably wondering, 'how is it legal to buy birth control pills online?' Well, the answer is that you are still receiving an actual legal prescription from a licensed physician. When you go to see your doctor for birth control, isn't their decision to write you a prescription based on what you tell them rather than an actual exam? Well, this is what makes the ability to buy birth control pills online so simple. There is no need for an actual face-to-face meeting with your doctor to have this safely completed. Ordering birth control pills online starts much the same way it would in the office – you complete a comprehensive medical history and report all medications (prescription and over-the-counter) that you are taking so that the physician can accurately decide whether or not you are a good candidate to buy birth control pills.
Still thinking 'can you buy birth control online safely?' You truly can as long as you do your research and make sure that you are ordering from a licensed pharmacy and getting real medication. You should always be able to ask for a pill pedigree to see where your birth control originated from. Make sure you will actually have your prescription written by a licensed physician and you are good to go.
After you complete the basics, the next step when you buy birth control online is to have the medication shipped directly to you. You will never have to worry about a lack of confidentiality since each package is discretely shipped with no mention on the packaging of what is inside. This means you can easily buy birth control online and have it shipped to your home or work.

LAKE WILSON -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, is conducting a new study for a potential reallocation of water storage at Lake Wilson. This study will be a feasibility level study and will include an in-depth look at a range of alternatives. Information from past and ongoing studies will be used in the process. Information and a summary of comment pertaining to previous studies may be found at the following website: http://www.kwo.org/wilsonlake.htm" http://www.kwo.org/wilsonlake.htm.
The new Reallocation Study will utilize information from the ongoing planning study but will include a much more detailed analysis. The process will begin with a public meeting, which is anticipated for the November time frame. The new study is expected to take two to three years; no reallocation will take place in the interim. The Kansas Water Office will provide periodic updates through the Smoky Hill-Saline Basin Advisory Committee and other public outreach opportunities.
Additional information can be obtained from Christina Ostrander at the Kansas City District Corps of Engineers at 816/389-3143 or by emailing Christina.Ostrander@usace.army.mil.

Q: The position of if __name__ == "__main__": I am learning main and explore its applications with codes:
a = 1
b = 2

def main():
    x = add(a, b)
    print(x)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

def add(a, b):
    a = a + 1
    return a + b

However, it report NameError:
In [87]: run test.py
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError   Traceback (most recent call last)

NameError: name 'add' is not defined

Re-position if __name__ == "__main__":  to end is a solution,
a = 1
b = 2

def main():
    x = add(a, b)
    print(x)

def add(a, b):
    a = a + 1
    return a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
In [88]: run test.py
4

I am confused about why the previous case failed.
if __name__ == "__main__": invoke main, main invoke add.

A: Everything is done in order in Python, top to bottom.
a = 1  # assigns 1 -> a
b = 2  # assigns 2 -> b

def main():  # main is defined
    # body of main, not executed until it's called.

if __name__ == "__main__":  # it does! Let's enter the block
    main()  # let's run main, so we have to look back at that block we skipped earlier...

    # from above
    x = add(a, b)  # call add....oh wait -- WHAT'S add?!

In the bottom example, add is defined before main is executed, so main knows what to do when you call x = add(a, b).

A: Python effectively runs lines of code as it reads them from the file. (Not really, but for purposes of this question, it acts as if it does.) So when this piece of code runs:
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

in your first code sample, the add function has not yet been defined. That only happens when Python encounters the def add(...): block. Since main() calls add(), Python complains that an undefined name (add) is being used.
When you move the def add(...): block up before the call to main(), then the definition of add() happens before main() runs, so everything is fine.


Captain C I think you should read my post again – it was not actually having a go at Andrew but highlighting that there is no win win situation for a Councillor- sway in one direction he will get support whilst at the same time getting those with opposing views.
This whole issue over housing in most instances revolves around Nimbyism — anywhere except my back yard.
Looks like it might have been a thank you to Claire Field for deputising as Chief Executuve over the past few months as she is the only non Executuve Board Member around the table!
I would imagine that if it was waitress service they would all have the same drink and plate of food as they are so accustimed to all putting their hand up to vote for somnething collectuvely at meetings they would not know how to make a personal decision based on personal knowledge.
Is it appropraite to go to a venue where not of the trader are actually paying to trade– some might have closed up when they saw the 'gang' thinking they had come to collect the rent!!
Alunh – a key point about the rates is that these are paid centrally and come back to Wrexham via Welsh Government under an old established formula so increases in what is being collected do not all filter back to Wrexham. There are rate reductions still available for some small businesses.
Many of the retail properties in Wrexham have vacant spaces on first and or second floor so there is hope that you can still retain retail and residential in the same properties — the downside is that there are so many landlords any change of use would be piecemeal. The Henblas Street development and the top end of Regent Street with the Methodist Chapel are the only ones in Wrexham with multiple units owned by single landlords.
The "Tonight" programme on TV tonight looked at declining High Streets with ideas such as 'crazy golf' and other social type activities — these are all well and good for places like Oxford Street with vast footfall- Wrexham, however, has such low numbers that any such activities will be a proportionately cheaper investment – if you wanted to create destination social activities then they are likely to be Plas Coch or Denelm area so that customers have free car parking and easy access.
If you look at somewhere like Broughton – they have succeeded in developing a destination shopping space with food, social, a mix of shops and supermarket — doesn't seem to matter when you go there they seem to have almost 100% occupancy of the car park. If a survey was conducted of the visitors I am sure a large number would be coming from Wrexham and surrounding area with shoppers travelling in a hub and spoke pattern with Broughton being the hub. If you live in North Wrexham – Gresford, Marford, Gwersylly=t, Llay etc you can travel to Broughton and park up and bein in a venue quicker than coming into Wrexham.
Apartments without car parking spaces are fine in cities and larger towns when there is work within walking distance or in cities a cheap Uber ride. The problem in Wrexham is limited work within easy reach of these proposed apartments which may prove off-putting.
They could, of course, be taken over by the Council en bloc so that they reduce the spend they currently make with a number of hotels and Bed and Breakfasts for those who qualify for "emergency" accommodation. This would not be a new expense but just relocation of where the Council spend their money.
Where is the evidence that Eastern Europeans are giving up ow paid work to go onto benefits — it is a fact that this is not happening — you need to look at the DWP figures for benefit claimants in Wrexham- the figures across the board have seen a significant decrease in payments- many of "our own" benefit scroungers have been caught out and are now working.
I don't dispute that at times there are people who appear to be hanging around drinking – I don't know why the assumption is they are all Polish – do you join in a conversation with them, I don't dispute that there will be some Polish along with Wrexhamites, Portuguese and a wide range of other nationalities. Many who do hang around during the day actually work night shifts so don't assume they are all scroungers.
Surely one of the fundamental issues of Private (for profit) vs Public Service (no profit – income generated invested back in the county) is that the Kingdom contract is costing the community 10's of thousands of pounds a year going back into their profits rather than local investment. A properly managed team of Council/Community employees would still do the job in a more 'pleasant and acceptable' way – surpluses generated from the Fixed Penalty Notices would then go back into community projects.
Really can't see why a profit-driven company is best for the area.
THERE A CHANCE FOR PEOPLE TO PROTEST AGAINST KINGDOM AT A RALLY BEING ORGANISED IN NORTH WALES- PERHAPS A MORE LOCAL ONE IN WREXHAM WOULD GAIN SUPPORT.
