Man Who Printed Child Porn at Local Library Loses Appeal
By Casey C. Sullivan, Esq. on March 22, 2016 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
A Kansas City man who printed child porn at his local library lost a challenge to his conviction in the Eighth Circuit last week. Donald Paris was nabbed after librarians discovered him printing out emails from other child pornographers.
Those emails led to an investigation that showed he'd also printed child porn at the library and taken pornographic images of his young nephew, leading to his eventual conviction for producing child porn.
Production of Child Porn, but No Product
Paris claimed that the lack of photos of his nephew meant there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction. No photos means no evidence that the pictures Paris took contained a "lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area," as required by federal child pornography laws.
The Eighth Circuit, however, wasn't swayed, noting that the absence of images isn't insufficient to support a conviction for producing child pornography. Paris's admissions, coupled with the surrounding circumstances, were sufficient to support the verdict. First, Paris had admitted to taking the photos. Second, Paris had also destroyed the photos, the camera, his phone, a memory card, and "any trace of the images" in an attempt to cover his tracks. And then there was the fact that Paris sent the images to another child pornographer "with whom he communicated about child pornography only."
Those facts, coupled with Paris's child porn collection, admission of child molestation, and advertisements for boy models on Craigslist were more than enough for the Eighth Circuit.
Zooming In (to Jail)
Paris also objected to the prosecutor's characterization of the photographing during closing arguments. The prosecutor said that Paris chose "to pull that phone out of his pocket, told him to lift up his shirt, pull the pants down, and zoom in." But, as Paris's attorney objected, there was no evidence that Paris "zoomed in."
The zoom comment, Paris argued, made the action seem lascivious when it was not. Again, the Eight Circuit was unmoved. "Zoom" very well could have meant "only that the focus and frame of the pictures that Paris produced were his nephew's pubic region," the court reasoned. And regardless of whether Paris used the zoom function or not, the effect of the comment "could have been only slight at best."

Drugs of abuse: Identifying the addiction circuit
By Sheela on December 20, 2018
What happens in the brain of a compulsive drug user? What is the difference in brain function between an addict and a person who takes a drug in a controlled manner? In an attempt solve this puzzle, neurobiologists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland; have been looking at this difference in a rodent addiction model. They have discovered that the brain circuit connecting the decision-making region to the reward system is stronger in compulsive animals. The researchers also found that by decreasing the activity of this circuit, compulsive mice were able to regain control and that conversely, by stimulating the connection a mouse that initially remained in control became addicted. The work is published in this week's edition of the journal Nature.
Addiction is an disease that develops in stages: it starts with the initial exposure to a substance followed by a phase where consumption remains controlled. Some individuals however will start using drugs compulsively in spite of the major negative effects it has on their lives (such as mounting debt, social isolation or incarceration). Clinical estimates suggest that only one person in five moves from controlled to compulsive use.
"We do not know why one person becomes addicted to drugs while another doesn't," begins Christian Lüscher, senior author and professor at the Departments of Basic and Clinical Neurosciences of the Faculty of Medicine. "But our study identifies the difference in brain function between the two behaviors."
Negative effects are powerless against addiction
As a model of addiction, the researchers implanted mice with an optic fibre, which enabled the animal to stimulate its reward system located at the top of the brainstem. Pressing a small lever turned on a laser whose light activated a molecular switch previously added to nerve cells. The very same cells are activated by addictive drugs and are responsible for the behavioural reinforcement. "We then introduce a weak electric shock so that we could observe, which mice continued with the self-stimulation," explains Vincent Pascoli, the study's lead author and researcher in UNIGE's Department of Basic Neurosciences. "This allowed us to identify the mice that had become compulsive." Forty percent of the animals quickly stopped activating the lever following the introduction of the punishment. But 60% paid no heed to the negative consequences and continued to stimulate their reward system.
"When we used an optical technique to visualize the activity in the brain of freely moving mice. This uncovered a stronger activity in a circuit of addicted mice compared to mice that did not loose control," continues professor Lüscher. "The circuit extends from the orbito-frontal cortex to the dorsal striatum, a part of the basal ganglia of the brain" The orbito-frontal cortex, located just above the eyes, is the region responsible for decision making.
The addiction circuit can be regulated
The UNIGE neurobiologists confirmed that this circuit was responsible for the compulsive behaviour by artificially increasing its activity in a mouse that remained in control. The animal quickly developed a compulsive self-stimulation pattern. "Conversely, when we reduced the activity of the circuit in an addicted mouse, she stopped activating the lever!" confirms Pascoli.
Given that the mice studied in the experiment were all genetically identical, how come the activity in the brain circuit was not the same for all of them? "That's the question we'll try to answer in our future research," says professor Lüscher. Several hypotheses have been formulated, such as epigenetic contributions based on the life experiences that make each living being unique and influence the gene and brain function. "Thanks to the present study, we now know which circuit causes the addiction. It will then be easier to find out what causes the disruption in the circuit," says Pascoli by way of conclusion.

The letting agent fees discussion is a tug of war really. Tenants pull one way, agents the other, landlords have their own gripe with agent fees, but really just stay on the side and hope all's not going to crash in their pocket. And few people consider the is middle ground solutions.
At The Tenants' Voice, we always promote cooperation and mutual understanding as the best tools to form long-lasting and fruitful relationships between tenants, landlords and agents. We believe that there is very serious problem with letting agent fees to tenants and that it's vital that regulations are put in place to control who, how and why charges tenants and for what. However, we're not convinced that a total ban is the best and most fair solution.
Let's get this out of the way. Everybody has a family to provide for and life to take care of. Nobody expects agents to be charity workers and exist on the good reviews they get by tenants and landlords.
Similarly, tenants are not stacks of money waiting to be picked off the street. Agents cannot expect to charge whatever they want, just because tenants will do anything to get a good property. Sometimes, any property.
Perhaps the bigger issue tenants face is not the amount of fees, but the fact that many tenants feel powerless and forced to pay money for services they never receive and benefit from.
Who commissions the service ?
Who is benefitted by the service ?
It's never fair that one party pays the bill for what another party ordered for their own benefit. So, let's talk about some of the common bills that most agents charge and see how we can use some good old common sense to untangle the mess.
When tenants rent a property, the also pay for a service. The landlord, outside of providing their property for use, also is expected to provide a service, which is to manage the property, conduct repairs and necessary safety inspections AND to setup a tenancy and do all the legal work surrounding the tenant occupying the property.
This is a responsibility of the landlord. The tenant pays for and could reasonably be expected to be completely ignorant about how renting laws work and what administration is required when letting out a property.
For tenancies where there is no agent employed, most landlords will do the leg work above and not charge a fee. So, when the agent, who is employed by the landlord, does the work, how come it's tenants that get served the bill ?
Many landlords also share that they also pay admin fees and are mostly not informed that the agents charge both sides.
Okay, we can never expect the landlord to pay for referencing 5 or 10 tenant applicants. This is absurd. Tenants in their role of applicants for the property should be responsible to provide credentials and proper documentation for setting up the tenancy. That is their part.
So, it's reasonable for tenants to pay the agent for doing all the background checks, collecting referrals from the past landlord, perhaps the employer and so on. This is fair.
What is not fair is to demand from a tenant to pay for new referencing for any new tenancy application regardless of any other circumstance.
The tenant applies for a property. Fees are collected, paperwork is prepared. The tenant is approved, everything is ready to go.
Tenant comes in the property and it's a complete wreck – dirt and litter everywhere, damage to the interior and some appliances not working.
Obviously, they don't move in and negotiate to be given another property.
What ? Have the tenants' background details changed in the last two days ? It's preposterous to think that a tenant will be happy to pay another £200 just because it's the agent's policy.
And obviously, if they go to another agent, they will never accept using the referencing already been done. They will just charge another £200.
And that's a problem. If the tenant is paying for a product – a background report – they must be given ownership of that product. Agents should also work out a common standard for referencing, so that it can be used across agents.
Currently, tenants are not even given a copy and denied access when they ask.
One of the most infuriating aspects of letting agent fees is tenancy renewal.
The average fee to renew a tenancy is £117. In 95% of all cases, all an agent needs to do is print a template and fill the details, copying form the original document and perhaps change the rent amount (mostly to a higher figure). Then, they need to send two emails and obtain signatures. Sometimes, it's one email.
That costs between £18 to £432 according to Letting Fees. And, it takes how much time and effort ?
In april, the minimum wage per hour is going to be £7.83. Make your own conclusions.
Inventory reports are great. We always recommend tenants to perform or keep attention to inventory reports, even though they are not legally required. When the tenancy ends and the deposit is disputed, the inventory reports provide a clear, undeniable proof about who is right.
To make a really good inventory it takes a bit of work and quite a bit of experience as to not miss any important detail. So, it's normal that this service is paid for by someone.
Given that tenants and landlords share the benefits of having a good inventory, it's most fair that the price gets split in half.
Some tenants have special circumstances which require more additional work to setup the tenancy correctly. We could say that the agent does a service for the tenant by accommodating their specific needs and working out problems that prevent them from accepting a default tenancy.
Some tenants need a guarantor to back them financially.
Some tenants have a pet.
Some tenants negotiate the tenancy agreement and require alterations to the terms.
It is then reasonable for the tenant to contribute a small fee for proportionate to the additional work the agent has to do.
It's also reasonable for the agent to charge fees when tenants are purposely making their job harder by paying rent late, damaging the property, restricting access or causing a nuisance.
Any breach in the tenancy agreement should be properly penalised. Everybody has to play by the rules.
Bad agent. It's easy to point fingers.
We know there are many good agents out there and do honest work and help people find a good property to live in. We believe a good agent has the power to tame unreasonable landlords AND tenants AND keep things running better than they were before.
Professional agents are essential to the private rented sector ! But, in order for tenants to stop demonising, agents should realise that a change is needed and letting fees are a major part of that change.
This is not an argument-backed, logical defense. It's just scare tactics and it's not working.
The reality is that agents are in the business of making money. As long as tenants keep paying and the government keeps allowing, agents will charge fees and reap profit. It's just business.
The bad side of is that this way of leading business is affecting the dynamics of the PRS leading to shorter tenancies and bigger tenant turnovers. Both the tenant and landlord are unhappy, but it's fat stacks for the agent.
Landlords will tolerate losses up to a certain point. With government pressure and the threats like fees being redirected towards them, landlords are now starting to back off their investments. News spun around the media that up to 20% of landlords will be looking to sell in 2018.
Tenants will pay anything to have a roof over their heads. But how much is too much before the whole system explodes ? If you want a steady ride, don't overinflate your tires.
The conclusion is that nothing is truly black and white and most of the good solutions are cloudy grey.
Some fees are fair, some are absurd. Agents should back off a little and it's the government's job to secure tenants with some breathing space. Tenants will have to (and they probably will) accept paying some fees.
If we can all make a little compromise and use a little common sense, The Tenants' Voice is optimistic about the result.

Who Were the Witches?
Patriarchal Terror & the Creation of Capitalism
by Alex Knight
Fifth Estate # 390, Fall, 2013
a review of
Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body, and Primitive Accumulation, Silvia Federici, Autonomedia 2004, 288pp, $14.95, autonomedia.org/caliban
Silvia Federici's book is an essential read for those of us seeking to overthrow systems of domination and to build a liberated future. What is most fascinating about Caliban and the Witch is how it challenges the widely-held belief that capitalism, though perhaps flawed in its current form, was at one time a "progressive" or necessary development.
Uncovering the forgotten history of the Witch Hunt that consumed Europe in suspicion and fire for more than 200 years, Federici demonstrates that capitalism has always relied on spectacular violence, particularly against women, people of color, workers, and those cultivating a more egalitarian life.
The book recalls the enormous and colorful peasant movements of the Middle Ages, which pointed towards non-capitalist futures for Europe, and by extension, the world. However, these paths were blocked. The "shock therapy" of the Witch Hunt was used to terrorize rebels and visionaries, impose new discipline on the body, on female sexuality in particular, and usher in a new social system based on a landless working class and the devaluation of women's labor.
Federici writes, "It is impossible to associate capitalism with any form of liberation or attribute the longevity of the system to its capacity to satisfy human needs. If capitalism has been able to reproduce itself it is only because of the web of inequalities that it has built into the body of the world proletariat, and because of its capacity to globalize exploitation. This process is still unfolding under our eyes, as it has for the last 500 years."
Capitalism–Born in Flames
The main focus of Caliban is the Witch Hunt of the 15th through 17th centuries in Europe, through which "hundreds of thousands of women were tried, tortured, burned alive or hanged, accused of having sold body and soul to the devil."
Federici argues that this repression was primarily "a war against women," which constructed a new sexual hierarchy based on the division between male wage labor and female unpaid reproductive labor such as raising children, caring for the elderly and sick, nurturing their husbands or partners, and maintaining the home. Those accused of witchcraft were often women who lived outside this binary–as rebels, healers, midwives, or those providing forbidden knowledge of contraception or abortion.
Federici posits this systematic violence against women as one mode in the formation of capitalism when she instructs that "the witch-hunt occurred simultaneously with the colonization and extermination of the populations of the New World, the English enclosures, and the beginning of the slave trade."
Contrary to "laissez-faire" orthodoxy which holds that capitalism functions best without state intervention, Federici expands upon Marx's proposition that it was precisely the state violence of this "primitive accumulation" that laid the foundation for capitalist economics.
Principally, capitalism could not have been formed without the creation of a landless working class. People do not readily submit themselves to wage labor unless they no longer have an autonomous ability to provide for themselves or their communities.
In Marx's oft-quoted section from Capital, "these new freedmen became sellers of themselves only after they had been robbed of all their own means of production…And the history of this, their expropriation, is written in the annals of mankind in letters of blood and fire."
But unlike Marx, who saw the separation of humans from their traditional land-bases as a necessary evil for the expansion of "the productive forces," Federici emphasizes the loss of the freedom we once enjoyed through connection to the land. She points out that before the Enclosures, even the lowliest of serfs had their own plot of Earth, which they could use for just about any purpose.
Federici writes, "With the use of land also came the use of the 'commons'–meadows, forests, lakes, wild pastures–that provided crucial resources for the peasant economy (wood for fuel, timber for building, fish ponds, grazing grounds for animals) and fostered community cohesion and cooperation."
Access to land acted as a base of autonomy–providing security for peasants who otherwise were largely subject to the whim of their "Lord." Not only could they grow their own food, or hunt in the relatively plentiful forests which were still standing in that era, but connection to the commons also gave peasants territory with which to organize resistance movements and alternative economies outside the control of their masters.
In the author's words, "As soon as they lost access to land, all workers were plunged into a dependence unknown in medieval times, as their landless condition gave employers the power to cut their pay and lengthen the working-day."
Capitalism has spread itself around the world since that time through the same methods of primitive accumulation. Once we are forced from the land, we have little choice but to submit to the discipline of the factory, office, or school.
A Forgotten Revolution
Caliban is vital for challenging the Marxist theory of a deterministic march through historical stages, wherein capitalism is seen as a necessary development on the road to communism. Federici argues that other pathways existed then, just as the future is open now. "Capitalism was not the only possible response to the crisis of feudal power. Throughout Europe, vast communalistic social movements and rebellions against feudalism had offered the promise of a new egalitarian society built on social equality and cooperation."
The book's most inspiring chapters make visible an enormous continent-wide series of poor people's movements that nearly toppled Church and State at the end of the Middle Ages. These peasant movements of the 13th through 16th centuries were often labeled "heretical" for challenging the religious power of the Vatican, but from the anti-war, vegetarian Cathars of southern France to the communistic Taborites of Bohemia, they aimed for a much broader transformation of feudal society.
The heretics attained a mass following because they "denounced social hierarchies, private property and the accumulation of wealth, and disseminated among the people a new, revolutionary conception of society."
Most dramatically, in the 1420s and 30s, the Taborites fought to liberate all of Bohemia, beating back several Crusades of 100,000+ men organized by the Vatican. The uprisings became contagious all across Europe, so much so that in the crucial period of 1350 through 1500, unprecedented concessions were made including the doubling of wages, reduction in prices and rents, and a shorter working day.
Yet, the peasantry who had glimpsed the possibility of liberation would not be appeased by such reforms. Increasing numbers simply left the domains of the Lords to live as wanderers, while others refused to pay tribute or cooperate in the traditional ways. In Federici's words, "the feudal economy was doomed."
Elites responded by instituting the Holy Inquisition, a brutal campaign of state repression that included torturing and burning heretics to death. But as time went on, the target shifted from heretics to women as the Inquisition morphed into the Witch Hunt.
According to Federici, the Witch Hunt succeeded by driving a sexist wedge among workers and peasants that "undermined class solidarity." While women were faced with the threat of horrific torture and death if they did not conform to new submissive gender roles, men were in effect bribed with the promise of obedient wives and greater access to women's bodies.
As accusations of witchcraft swirled, suspicion and fear all but obliterated the solidarity of peasant communities. Not only were heretics and revolutionaries marginalized, but the new social divisions and distrust made it harder for commoners to resist the theft of their land by State-backed entrepreneurs in the Enclosures.
For European elites, in addition to stifling a working class revolution that had increasingly threatened their rule, the Witch Hunt laid the foundation for a new regime of labor exploitation and capital accumulation. Federici summarizes that "Capitalism was the counter-revolution that destroyed the possibilities that had emerged from the anti-feudal struggle–possibilities which, if realized, might have spared us the immense destruction of lives and the environment that has marked the advance of capitalist relations worldwide."
Today, those of us who hold in our hearts the seeds of new worlds to come can look to the "heretics" and "witches" who resisted capitalism and state domination long before us. Their example should inspire us to carry forward a movement for liberation that is wide as the Earth and old as time.

Q: Determining correct php-fpm max_children value against available RAM I'm trying to benchmark and figure out the correct PHP-FPM pm.max_children settings.
I'm using the following formula to work out the average size of a PHP-FPM process:
ps -ylC php-fpm --sort:rss | awk '{sum+=$8; ++n} END {print "Tot="sum"("n")";print "Avg="sum"/"n"="sum/n/1024"MB"}'

This returns me 31MB. I've only got about 2GB to play with on the system in question - so theorotically if I change pm.max_children inside the PHP-FPM config file to be 2048MB / 31MB = 66.
I then used ab to benchmark it - I quickly hit the pm.max_children limit ([06-Oct-2021 10:32:37] WARNING: [pool www] server reached pm.max_children setting (66), consider raising it) but I can see I've got plenty of memory to spare.
When checking with free:
# free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1954         914         756          15         284         869
Swap:             0           0           0

So then I pm.max_children to 200 - to test further and again hit the limit:
[06-Oct-2021 10:34:46] WARNING: [pool www] server reached pm.max_children setting (200), consider raising it

Memory usage via free is lower but still not what I'd expect based on the calculation:
# free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1954        1595          74          15         285         188
Swap:             0           0           0

Going off the calculation above, if each process was using 31MB as shown in the RSS column:
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
apache   17558  0.3  1.5 859324 31820 ?        R    10:16   0:02 php-fpm: pool www
apache   17577  0.3  1.5 859468 31848 ?        R    10:16   0:02 php-fpm: pool www
apache   17603  0.3  1.5 859464 31836 ?        R    10:16   0:02 php-fpm: pool www

The number of PHP-FPM processes is:
ps aux | grep php-fpm | grep -v grep | wc -l

= 200
And if I multiply the value in RSS (which is average 31000KB) * 200 = ~ 6GB memory.
However if I use the ps_mem.py utility, the overall usage of PHP-FPM is a lot lower:
882.4 MiB +  26.9 MiB = 909.4 MiB   php-fpm (201)

What am I missing here in terms of working out the correct value?
It seems as though the advice to utilise available memory / average php-fpm process memory (as calculated by the ps command above) gives inconsistent results..

For reference here are some articles recommending this method to calculate pm.max_children:

Stoned est un virus de secteur d'amorçage créé en 1987. Il s'agit de l'un des tout premiers virus et on pense qu'il a été créé par un étudiant universitaire de Wellington en Nouvelle-Zélande. En 1989, il s'était largement répandu en Nouvelle-Zélande et en Australie. Des variantes sont devenues très courantes dans le monde entier au début des années 1990.

Un ordinateur infecté par la version originale du virus avait une probabilité de un sur huit d'afficher le message : « Your PC is now Stoned! Legalise Marijuana. » (« Votre PC est maintenant défoncé ! Légalisez la marijuana. »). Cette phrase étaient enregistrée dans les secteurs d'amorçage des disquettes infectées et les enregistrements d'amorçage maître (master boot records) des disques durs infectés.

Des variantes ultérieures du virus ont affiché d'autres messages.

Version originale

La version originale du virus semble avoir été écrite par quelqu'un qui n'avait d'expérience qu'avec les disquettes IBM PC 360 kilooctets, car elle se comporte mal sur la disquette IBM AT 1,2 mégaoctets et sur des systèmes ayant plus de 96 fichiers dans le répertoire racine. Sur les disques de plus grande capacité, tels que les disques de 1,2 Mo, le secteur de démarrage d'origine peut écraser une partie du répertoire racine.

Sur les disques durs, l'enregistrement d'amorçage maître est déplacé vers le cylindre 0, tête 0, secteur 7. Sur les disquettes de 1,2 mégaoctets, le secteur d'amorçage original est déplacé vers le cylindre 0, tête 1, secteur 3, qui est le dernier secteur de répertoire sur les disquettes de 360 kilooctets. Sur les disquettes de 1,2 mégaoctets, le virus écrase sans dommage l'enregistrement d'amorçage si le répertoire racine ne contient pas plus de 96 fichiers.

Le PC était généralement infecté lors d'un démarrage à partir d'une disquette infectée. À l'époque, les ordinateurs démarraient par défaut à partir du lecteur de disquettes A (s'ils étaient équipés d'une disquette). Le virus se propageait lorsqu'on accédait à une disquette avec un ordinateur infecté. Cette disquette était désormais elle-même une source de propagation du virus. Cela ressemblait beaucoup à un gène récessif - difficile à éliminer - car un utilisateur pouvait avoir un nombre illimité de disquettes infectées sans que son ordinateur ne soit infecté par le virus, jusqu'à ce qu'il démarre par inadvertance à partir d'une disquette infectée. Le fait de nettoyer l'ordinateur sans nettoyer toutes les disquettes laissait l'utilisateur susceptible d'être infecté à nouveau. Cette méthode a également favorisé la propagation du virus dans la mesure où les disquettes empruntées, si elles avaient été placées dans un système infecté, étaient désormais capables de transporter le virus vers un nouvel hôte.

Variantes

Ce virus était très facile à modifier. En particulier, une personne sans connaissance de la programmation informatique pouvait modifier le message affiché. De nombreuses variantes du virus ont circulé, certaines avec seulement une modification du message affiché.

Par exemple, une variante du virus affichait le message « Bloody! Jun. 4, 1989 » («  sanglant »), une condamnation de la répression des manifestations de la place Tian'anmen du .

Q: A single payload.js for all nuxt static generate'd routes when data is the same I have a NuxtJS site with only one page /pages/matrix/index.vue but quite a lot of dynamic routes pointing to this page, each route using the same set of data. When generating a static build for deployment on Netlify, the dist folder currently reaches ~1.2 GB, consisting of

*

*3125 .html files in dist/matrix (occupying ~39% of the space)

*3125 folders for payload.js files in dist/_nuxt/static/[random]/matrix/ in subfolders for routes (occupying ~61% of the space)

Those 61% are 3125 copies of a 220kB payload.js with exactly the same set of data: [{}], while only the route changes:
__NUXT_JSONP__("/matrix/place2/time3,time14,time29", (function(a, b, ...) {
    return {
        data: [{ /* data does not change */ }],
        fetch: {},
        mutations: void 0
    }
}("nor", "does", "this")));

I wonder if there is a way to reduce this redundancy by somehow extracting the data part? Reducing ~665 MB to just 220kB sounds alluring.
Some more background:
Routes are /matrix, /matrix/place1 or /matrix/place8/time1,time7,time18. When generating, I pull all data from a headless CMS and feed it to my page component via the payload option. First, I used File System Routing and imported the pages/matrix/index.vue like this:
// pages/matrix/_places/index.vue
<script>
  import Index from '../index'
  export default Index
</script>

which felt wrong but worked. I blamed this approach to the "duplication" of those payload files (frankly without completely understanding the mechanics of static generation). I now switched to extendRoutes with this nuxt.config.js setting:
router: {
  extendRoutes (routes, resolve) {
    routes.push(
      {
        name: 'matrix-place-times',
        path: '/matrix/:place/:times',
        component: resolve(__dirname, 'pages/matrix/index.vue')
      },
      {
        name: 'matrix-place',
        path: '/matrix/:place',
        component: resolve(__dirname, 'pages/matrix/index.vue')
      }
    )
  }
}

The amount of payload files spread across route subfolders stays the same.
Any advice on this? Using Nuxt v2.15.7.

A: Few things I can think about:

*

*using SSR would solve some of those issues (you told that you wish to stay on Netlify tho)

*using some aliased routes may be a good idea, especially if you have the exact same data at 2 differently named endpoints

*this video also gives some leads regarding ISG or other ways to have more flexibility towards big page amounts

*Nuxt3 is able to run on Cloudflare workers, this is not SSR nor exactly ISG but a middle ground, a different approach but it could render pages for not so expensive while being quick

Apple to support 'comprehensive federal privacy legislation' tomorrow at Senate hearing
Michael Potuck
- Sep. 25th 2018 9:13 am PT
@michaelpotuck
As we previously reported, Apple's VP of software technology, Bud Tribble, will testify at a Senate hearing tomorrow on federal privacy legislation. While there are no surprises expected, Axios obtained his prepared statement that details how Apple will voice its support of "comprehensive federal privacy legislation."
The White House started looking into a new federal privacy law after Europe passed its GDPR back in May. The Trump administration has held over 22 meetings with over 80 companies, organizations, and groups over the summer and now Apple's Bud Tribble will give a testimony at tomorrow's Senate hearing on the subject.
Apple and other companies would prefer a single federal privacy law which would be much simpler to deal with compared to leaving the matter up to individual states. Notably, California already put together its own data privacy rules, pushing tech companies to support the adoption of federal privacy regulations.
Per the prepared statement seen by Axios,Tribble will highlight the differences between Apple and competitors like Google who rely on earning revenue from user data.
"We want your device to know everything about you; we don't feel that we should," he'll say. "These concepts have guided our design process for years because privacy is a core value at Apple, not an obligation or an aftermarket add-on."
Google, AT&T, Twitter and more will also be testifying along with Apple. Ahead of tomorrow's hearing, Google shared a "Framework for Responsible Data Protection Regulation" and made changes to its Safety Center.
Privacy is a growing concern in today's world. Follow along with all our coverage related to privacy, security, and more in our guide.

"12 Strong" is a new film that tells the story of the first Special Forces team to go to Afgahnistan after the attacks on 9/11. The film stars actorChris Hemsworth (Thor) and is backed behind Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
The movie is set to be released this Friday, January 19th.
Next week Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus and Veterans Service Agency Director Christian Farrell will be hosting a free viewing of "12 Strong" for Veterans.
In a press release Neuhaus states "The 9/11 terrorist attacks forever changed our lives and movies such as 12 Strong are important because they portray the challenges and adversity that our service members faced overseas during combat" he added "They also help us understand our veterans' needs when they return home from the battlefield."
Before the movie starts Orange County Deputy Commissioner of Emergency Services Alan Mack, a U.S. Army veteran, will speak with the veterans and guests. In 2001, Mack was one of the first pilots to fly into Afgahnistan during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
If you're a veteran and would like to reserve a spot for the viewing email Veterans Service Agency Director Christian Farrell at cfarrell@orangecountygov.com.
The film will be shown next Wednesday, January 24th, at 4pm at the Monroe Cinema (34 Millpond Parkway).

'The Book of Boba Fett' is now streaming on Disney Plus
By Scott Snowden published 30 December 21
This will be a day long remembered; it has seen the last of the Christmas turkey and the beginning of Boba's story.
How did Boba escape form the Great Pit of Carkoon? This and other questions will soon be answered (Image credit: Disney+)
Disney's latest live-action spinoff series from the "Star Wars" universe hits Disney Plus today (Dec. 29), with the first episode of the limited series focusing on arguably the galaxy's most notorious mercenary, Boba Fett.
First introduced in the now-infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special" — a two-hour-long holiday-themed television special that aired in1978 — Fett rose to fame after his appearance in "The Empire Strikes Back," where he was portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch (with an uncredited double by John Morton, who incidentally played Luke's gunner, Dak).
Following the release of Episode V in 1981, Fett quickly became a fan favorite with all sorts of side stories popping up in the only expanded universe that existed at the time, the official "The Empire Strikes Back Weekly" comic produced by Marvel in the UK.

After he appeared once again and was supposedly killed in "Return of the Jedi" in 1983, Fett's popularity grew once more and he appeared in at least one story in the official comic. By now his popularity was firmly established and he was added digitally into the 1997 Special Edition of "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope." After that, his story was expanded to include his father, Jango, in the prequels and a young Boba appeared in the animated series "The Clone Wars." And the rest is ... well, history.
And now, after the runaway success of "The Mandalorian," both Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have seen fit to incorporate the story of this well-known bounty hunter into the story of another mercenary from Mandalore, Din Djarin.
The first episode of "The Book of Boba Fett" is streaming on Disney+ right now and there will be eight episodes, with a new installment dropping each week. Every episode of Seasons 1 and 2 of "The Mandalorian" are also available to stream on Disney Plus.

Even though I dont do it often, I love fishing and.


I've known Jessica Skye for years, and she is one of the coolest people I know. She is a yoga teacher by day and a DJ by night, so she is adept at mixing those two very different worlds. And let's face it—people are multifaceted. Just because you love yoga doesn't mean you're vegan, or, because you're big on partying, you don't love to work out. Skye gets it, and that's why her Fat Buddha Yoga retreats are so refreshingly different. For starters, each yoga session has the most epic chill-out soundtrack that she has mixed herself.
Skye has hooked up with Elite Island Resorts to pop up at Galley Bay Resort on the island of Antigua next summer, and I was lucky enough to give her first ever Antiguan retreat a whirl this summer. Trust me—if the sound of a boat party, silent cinema and daily sunrise and sunset yoga sessions sound like you're kind of holiday, you'll want to keep reading.
As soon as we arrived at Galley Bay Resort, we were welcomed by the team offering us glasses of traditional rum punch. This is not your typical yoga retreat. Alcohol and indulgent food are not off limits. (On the second night, we all bonded over a huge cheese board.) So if you're looking for a retreat where you want to lose weight, then this probably isn't for you. Instead, it's more about indulging your soul, doing yoga, eating good food, meeting new like-minded people and having fun.
Each day begins with a 90-minute sunrise yoga class with views of the beach and the sounds of the sea. Galley Bay is breathtakingly beautiful, and all the classes are set up so you can take in the views as you move through the flow. The first session of the day starts slow but quickly gets more physical. The classes are all about pushing your body and challenging yourself.
As the week progressed, the sessions got more challenging. Now, that may sound daunting, but the great thing about Skye's teaching style is that she helps everyone to work at their own pace. It didn't feel competitive. Most days, the yoga is at Ismay's restaurant, but a couple of mornings, you hike to different locations for a change of scenery. I won't give too much away, but both times the views were breathtaking.
Breakfast could be as healthy or as naughty as you wanted. You could choose from tofu scramble, eggs (cooked your way), bacon, cake, fruit, coffee, tea, juice and more.
Being at a five-star, all-inclusive, adult-only resort means that for the rest of the day you can do tailor it to the sort of holiday you enjoy. There is a huge pool to chill out by, but if you're more of a beach person, the long shoreline is dotted with loungers. There are also plenty of palm trees you can find a shady spot next to.
Come lunchtime, if you're not still full from breakfast, you can choose from one of the restaurants on the resort: Sea Grape and Gaugin are more upmarket and offer yummy local food. Gaugin, at night, is glorious and very romantic (perfect for couples). Small tables are set up under canopies that look out onto the beach, and the whole restaurant is lit by flaming torches. The Barefoot Grill has a range of fast food (the American-style burgers are a real winner), and it's close to the bar if you fancy a rum punch (well, when in Antigua…).
Once you've let your food get down, you can take a stand up paddle board or kayak out for a spin, or just relax with a good book. At 5 p.m. each night, we headed to a different spot for the sunset yoga class on an elevated wooden platform that looked out over the sea. This was always much more chilled than the morning session. However, much like the mornings, you could go at your own pace. If you wanted to chill in Savasana or child's pose while others worked through their flow, that's okay.
At the end of each class, both morning and night, Skye comes around while everyone is in Savasana and massages your head and shoulders with a gloriously scented oil. Total bliss.
It's then a quick turnaround for dinner, which is in a different restaurant every night. This is the chance to chat with the other guests, and by the end of the week, it's like having dinner with a group of friends.
Included in the trip is a day out on a catamaran. This was most people's favourite extracurricular activity. You all pile onto this boat and head out around the island, stopping off at different beaches for a spot of swimming or sunbathing. The crew are great fun: They play brilliant music, have an open bar and serve up traditional Antiguan food at lunchtime. Needless to say, after a day out in the sun and many rum punches, the sunset yoga was amazing.
Then, at the last dinner of the trip, everyone goes to a silent cinema. Loungers are set up in front of a huge screen, drinks flow and everyone has their own headphones and popcorn. We watched Point Break, which seemed quite fitting, considering the backdrop.
The room below is what my (and a lot of the rooms at Galley Bay) look like. Incredibly spacious but homely. What you can't see is the massive bathroom with corner tub and separate shower or the view from the bed that looks out onto the sea. Ground-floor rooms have a patio and direct access onto the beach, whereas the rooms on the first floor have a balcony. If you're more of a pool person, an upstairs room is great, but if you prefer to spend your days on the beach, try to request a downstairs room.
As mentioned, all the watersports, food and drinks are included in the price of your stay. There are tennis courts, volleyball and a gym if you want to supplement your yoga sessions with an extra dose of fitness (which I did not). There is free Wi-Fi in all the rooms, but if you can get out and explore the 56-acre resort, walk along the beach (it's almost a mile) or enjoy a good book, you'll feel all the better for avoiding screen time.
I went on the retreat wanting to master a headstand. I didn't quite manage it (although I did get close), but I definitely saw improvements like being able to master the crow pose and feeling stronger in my core. By the end of the week, I found it much easier to switch off and get into the yoga mindset without my brain whirring with to-do lists and unread emails.
The week was about switching off from the "go, go, go" mindset of work and life back home and switching onto happiness. It was about challenging myself in the yoga classes, enjoying the good food and drinks, hanging out with friends and making new ones. I laughed a lot that week, and I came back looking and feeling like a better version of myself—not because I had lost weight or strengthened my core, but because I took myself away from the hamster wheel of life and tried something new.
Also included in the price is a one-hour massage at the open-air spa. In all my years as a beauty editor, I've never had a treatment outside. It was incredible. Instead of the usual spa music—which, let's be real, is often more irritating than it is relaxing—this treatment's soundtrack was nature; the trees swaying in the breeze and the birds chirping. Absolute bliss. The full-body massage was just what I needed after a long-haul flight and a couple of days of double-yoga sessions.
Every guest on the Fat Buddha Yoga retreat gets a goody bag packed with products from brands including Decleor, Kerastase and Ultrasun, so you don't need to worry about packing suntan lotion.
I'd also recommend buying one of Skye's travel mats (£45). Not only do they look incredible, but if you have booked a spot on the retreat and order a mat beforehand, the employees will have it ready and waiting for you when you arrive in Antigua.
The Fat Buddha Yoga x Elite Island Resorts takeover will take place at Galley Bay Resort & Spa, Antigua from 30 June 30—5 July (5- and 7-night stays available from £2599 per person*).
Return flights to Antigua and accommodation on an all-inclusive basis.
Daily yoga classes, sunrise and sunset, over five days.
A day on a catamaran exploring the island and snorkelling, including lunch.
A Fat Buddha Yoga goodie bag.
To book, call the team at 01245 458 900 and quote "Fat Buddha."

I would like to take this opportunity to set the record straight. But first, perhaps a brief bit of background. I have been with my surfer for 15 years now, and happily married for nine. Well, I say happily … I have known for some time now that I am not the only love in his life. To be fair, this is nothing new. Only at the beginning it wasn't so obvious – perhaps he loved us both equally. But now, sometimes I do wonder.
Time to get some waves of my own.
When I first met the love of my life, I was bowled over – witty, intelligent, could cook amazing food, incredibly handsome. And he surfed. Plus the feelings seemed to be reciprocated. I had hit the jackpot! We went on surf trips together. We built a life near world class waves. Life really was perfect. However, gradually, my focus moved from the ridiculously early dawnies to the post-surf chill out on the beach, whereas his remained firmly on the water, and how he totally got shacked in that last set wave. My surfing skills (and interest) were not an equal match for his. I became the photographer. This is not the glamorous job portrayed by the 'Top 10' guys. No way. You have to pay 100% attention, otherwise, holy moly - 'What?!?! You didn't get that awesome cuttie on my seventh wave?! What were you doing???' etc.
Eventually, it was easier to find reasons to not go and be a cheerleader / photographer / board caddy / banana peeler. But the pull of his number one love remained strong, and has grown even stronger. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING gets in the way of this man and his surf. I can (almost) stand the conversations (read monologue) about the conditions, tide, board / fin performance in response to 'how was your surf?' I can also (almost) deal with the constant hankering after new boards, and why he really, really needs a rounded nose, double concave, planing hull Bonzer (is that even realistic – I just hear these phrases).
Changing tides and split personalities. The ocean mirrors us.
What I have real problems with is when there is no surf. Surfing is an addiction. There's no two ways about it. When there is no surf, or there are injuries and illnesses, it's like living with, well, a cross between an angry Incredible Hulk and Hyde. I daren't mention anything water or wind related. The household walks around on eggshells, while my normally handsome husband stomps about snarling. Even the dog recognises the signs. Guaranteed though, there will be someone who picks this moment to call and describe in great detail the surf they've just had. I mean, why would you do that to me?
Conversely, when the planets align, there is so much joy and happiness. Smiles from ear to ear, attention, affection. The sun almost literally beams from this guy's face. I love him even more for it – this is the man I fell in love with.
When the waves are good, the smiles come but without them things can be different.
Recently we've been having a few family surfs. My generous husband surfs first, while I muck around in the white wash with our son, then we swap. Usually the exchange happens as conditions deteriorate, however, last time, I think they had actually improved. I caught some corkers. I was whooping like a crazy lady. I was remembering what this lark was all about! My energy levels are near to pathetic, but no worries, after no time at all I was back with my men. 'Did you see that wave?' I asked. 'Did you see that sick bottom turn?' I continued, it was all I could talk about despite the lack of positive response from my family.
I was buzzing. Life was fandabbydoozy. Why couldn't they see? Why were they being so downright miserable? Oh. Right. Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Now, where's my board caddy – I've got to get more of this feeling!
The moody man of the surf.
Families and friends forgotten to the dawnie. A sacred time for addicted.
There are no warnings on the 'learn to surf' tin. Here are some reasons for you to think twice before making the biggest decision of your life.

Les danses més emblemàtiques dels EUA, els mateixos que reuneix una sèrie de característiques com la sensualitat, llibertat i elegància.

Història
Des de la prehistòria l'ésser humà ha tingut la necessitat de comunicar-se corporalment, amb moviments que expressaven sentiments i estats d'ànim. Aquests primers moviments rítmics van servir igualment per ritualitzar esdeveniments importants (naixements, defuncions, casaments). En principi, la dansa tenia un component ritual, celebrada a cerimònies de fecunditat, caça o guerra, o de diversa índole religiosa, on la pròpia respiració i els batecs del cor van servir per atorgar una primera cadència a la dansa.

Des de temps antics ha existit una dicotomia entre dansa com a expressió folklòrica i popular i la dansa com a art i espectacle, integrat en un conjunt format per la mateixa dansa, la música, la coreografia i l'escenografia. I en temps més moderns, la consideració de la dansa com a art -més pròpiament anomenat ballet- va començar en el Renaixement, encara que la gènesi del ballet modern es podria situar més aviat en el  amb el moviment romàntic.

Tipus
Les principals danses típiques dels Estats Units són:

 Charleston

Dansa típica dels Estats Units que és ballada a partir d'un compàs de 4 temps en el qual solen alternar-tant els braços com les cames. Almenys aquesta és la idea principal. Això sí, tot haurà de ser amb molta mobilitat i entusiasme, ja que es tracta d'una veritable festa que mereix reflectir-se a través de l'expressió corporal dels seus ballarins.

El charleston pot ballar-se acompanyat o sol. En el cas del ball en grup, els passos han de ser els mateixos mantenint el compàs de tots els ballarins. Per als solitaris, la cosa és encara més espontània, ja que solen realitzar-se moviments més lliures i improvisats que acompanyin el ritme.

 Square dance

Ball popular que es conforma amb quatre parelles formant un quadrat (un parell a cada costat). El Square dance és el ball oficial de més de vint estats nord-americans i és símil del ball europeu Scottish Country Dancing.

 Rock and Roll

Un dels balls més atlètics que han sorgit en l'àmbit de la coreografia, el Rock and Roll es pot ballar en parelles o en grups, encara que alguns cantants com Elvis Presley van demostrar que el ritme té potencial per ser ballat sol. És un ball dinàmic i que requereix un bon físic.

 Swing

També conegut com a Swing Dance, aquest ball és resultat d'una barreja d'una sèrie de danses que es van desenvolupar als Estats Units entre els anys 1920 a 1940. El Swing Dance té una gran influència dels balls típics de les comunitats afroamericanes que habiten en aquest territori.

 Polka

La seva música mostra més influència de la folklòrica alpina que de la dels seus veïns eslaus.

Interpretada per conjunts que típicament s'acompanyen per un acordió, un clarinet, instruments de metall i una guitarra, la música reflecteix la identitat nacional eslovena. Els fundadors d'aquest estil van ser els germans Slavko Avsenik.

 Twist

Va sorgir al començament de la dècada de 1960. Va ser difós com a cançó i ball per a totes les edats per Chubby Checker. No existien passos preestablerts i el moviment bàsic era un enèrgic gir del maluc i els peus. Va ser una de les primeres danses que es podien practicar sense parella; per aquesta raó va poder ser alhora sensual i moralment acceptada.

Gràcies a la seva gran popularitat a tot el món i entre públics de totes les edats, va ser vist com un substitut del rock and roll precedent. Cap dels balls que ho van reemplaçar a partir de 1965 va poder igualar el seu impacte.

 Country

Country and Western (música), un dels estils de música popular dels EUA basat en la música tradicional del sud.

La ràdio va contribuir a la difusió de la música, el 1939, quan l'espectacle del Grand Ole Opry va començar a difondre a tot el país.

En la dècada de 1930 van sorgir dos nous subestils. El swing de l'oest fonia elements i instruments del blues, el jazz i la música popular lleugera.

Aquesta música va arribar a públics de tota la nació durant la II Guerra Mundial. Les figures més destacades eren el cantant d'estil muntanyenc tradicional Roy Acuff; Ernest Tubb i Hank Williams, que havia assimilat elements d'ambdues tendències.

Un dels punts forts d'aquest estil són les lletres de les seves cançons, que sovint tracten de temes com la soledat, la pobresa o la manca de llar.

Al voltant de 1955, les companyies discogràfiques van reemplaçar l'etiqueta de hillbilly per la de country and western. La música country and western va començar a tenir una audiència internacional i nous intèrprets, especialment del Regne Unit i Irlanda, que competeixen avui dia amb èxit enfront dels artistes nord-americana.

An unmanned SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying cargo to the International Space Station exploded shortly after launching from Cape Canaveral in Florida on Sunday. It was the first time a Falcon 9 rocket has failed following 18 successful launches.
The rocket began its ascent to space at 10:21 a.m. Eastern time under excellent weather conditions. Two minutes and 19 seconds into the flight, however, disaster struck. The spacecraft exploded in a plume of white smoke, sending debris raining down over the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk said via Twitter that there was an overpressure event in the upper stage liquid oxygen tank and that data suggests a counterintuitive cause. Musk said that's all his company can say with confidence right now and that they'd have more information following a thorough analysis.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said this is a reminder that spaceflight is an incredible challenge and that they learn from each success and each setback. The latest launch attempt will not deter the space agency from their ambitious human spaceflight program, he added.
The rocket was carrying more than 4,300 pounds of food, supplies and research equipment destined for the ISS. Among the supplies on board were a pair of HoloLens-powered Sidekicks that we reported on last week.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the accident. Crew members aboard the ISS have enough supplies to last until October, NASA said. Another resupply mission is scheduled for this coming Friday followed by the launch of a Japanese rocket with supplies in August.

Legend of Tarzan: Skarsgard Wasn't the Only One With Diet Issues
July 13, 2016 Michael Sellers Legend of Tarzan (Movie), Legend of Tarzan Box Office
All Hip Hop by Kylie Krab
As a story that has been told approximately 200 times over the last 100 years, the Warner Bros. Pictures drama, "The Legend of Tarzan," which opened domestically on July 1, 2016 really needed something different to set itself apart.
While "Tarzan" opened to low expectations due to it's rumored $180 million dollar mark price tag, the movie surprised most movie professionals by outperforming all estimates with a strong opening weekend coming in second to "Finding Dory" and beating "The Purge: Election Year"by a solid margin.
While "Tarzan" still has some serious work to do overseas in order to recoup the sizeable budget that made it possible, to it's credit the movie has attempted to make some real strides in regards to Samuel L. Jackson's character and not re-branding Tarzan as yet another reincarnation of Africa's "Great White Hope."
No question, the very fictional Tarzan, as played by Alexander Skarsgard, is still the unmitigated star of "The Legend of Tarzan."
However, Samuel L. Jackson's co- starring role as the historically real George Washington Williams, one of the world's first African American activists for the fair treatment of all Africans in the Congo, is a welcome inclusion to the latest revamp of this American classic.
