Know that making a good decision on the pest control Fumigaciones company that you must go for is really important for every homeowner out there. The home is really very expensive and such is the biggest investment that you have and you must pay extra attention to this. Not only for this reason but because you would like to make your life more comfortable at home, devoid of those pests and nuisances. This is the reason why you must find a great pest control company to help you out in getting rid of those pesky creatures around your house.
There can be so many pests which are really annoying, the others can really damage your property and also make your house unsafe. For example, the termite infestation which goes undetected for such a long time may damage the structure of the house. This is when you would require a good pest control service which is now a necessity.
When you are going to look for a pest control Fumigaciones service, then you have to first check the company's certifications. You can be sure that those that are reputable and established are licensed. Make sure that you ask the agency if they have a license to get the job done in your home. Also, you need to make sure that the certifications are updated.
You should have a word with the experts of the BBB so that you will know if the pest control company which you have chosen has complaints from the customers. This can help you know the specific companies that you must avoid.
If you have selected a list of top companies, then you must take the time to find the best one who will be able to do such quick inspection on your property prior to proceeding to the process. The top companies won't charge anything and they would also send such qualified professional who is able to accomplish the job at a cost that you can actually afford.
Professional pest control service providers should take the time to sit with you and also talk about what they can do to eliminate the pests. You have to find another company when they don't answer the questions clearly or if they are confused. You must know that the rushed inspectors don't value you as their customer. You are just a number to them and they would offer a poor service. This is why you must ensure that you find a company that you can really rely on so that you can get the quality service that you need for your house and ensure that you can get the results that you want.


Dr. Mike Brown is a professor of planetary astronomy at Caltech. He's best known as the man who killed Pluto, thanks to his team's discovery of Eris and other Kuiper Belt Objects. We asked him to help us explain this unusual region of our solar system.
Soon after Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh on February 18th, 1930, astronomers began to theorize that Pluto was not alone in the outer Solar System. In time, they began to postulate the existence of other objects in the region, which they would discover by 1992. In short, the existence of the Kuiper Belt – a large debris field at the edge of the Solar System – was theorized before it was ever discovered.
The Kuiper Belt (also known as the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt) is a region of the Solar System that exists beyond the eight major planets, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, in that it contains many small bodies, all remnants from the Solar System's formation.
The Kuiper Belt is a collection of bodies outside the orbit of Neptune that, if nothing else had happened, if Neptune hadn't formed or if things had gone a little bit better, maybe they could have gotten together themselves and formed the next planet out beyond Neptune. But instead, in the history of the solar system, when Neptune formed it led to these objects not being able to get together, so it's just this belt of material out beyond Neptune.
Shortly after Tombaugh's discovery of Pluto, astronomers began to ponder the existence of a Trans-Neptunian population of objects in the outer Solar System. The first to suggest this was Freckrick C. Leonard, who began suggesting the existence of "ultra-Neptunian bodies" beyond Pluto that had simply not been discovered yet.
That same year, astronomer Armin O. Leuschner suggested that Pluto "may be one of many long-period planetary objects yet to be discovered." In 1943, in the Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Kenneth Edgeworth further expounded on the subject. According to Edgeworth, the material within the primordial solar nebula beyond Neptune was too widely spaced to condense into planets, and so rather condensed into a myriad of smaller bodies.
In 1951, in an article for the journal Astrophysics, that Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper speculated on a similar disc having formed early in the Solar System's evolution. Occasionally one of these objects would wander into the inner Solar System and become a comet. The idea of this "Kuiper Belt" made sense to astronomers. Not only did it help to explain why there were no large planets further out in the Solar System, it also conveniently wrapped up the mystery of where comets came from.
In 1980, in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Uruguayan astronomer Julio Fernández speculated that a comet belt that lay between 35 and 50 AU would be required to account for the observed number of comets.
Following up on Fernández's work, in 1988 a Canadian team of astronomers (team of Martin Duncan, Tom Quinn and Scott Tremaine) ran a number of computer simulations and determined that the Oort cloud could not account for all short-period comets. With a "belt", as Fernández described it, added to the formulations, the simulations matched observations.
In 1987, astronomer David Jewitt (then at MIT) and then-graduate student Jane Luu began using the telescopes at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile to search the outer Solar System. In 1988, Jewitt moved to the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Hawaii, and Luu later joined him to work at the University's Mauna Kea observatory.
In their 1988 paper, Tremaine and his colleagues referred to the hypothetical region beyond Neptune as the "Kuiper Belt", apparently due to the fact that Fernández used the words "Kuiper" and "comet belt" in the opening sentence of his paper. While this has remained the official name, astronomers sometimes use the alternative name Edgeworth-Kuiper belt to credit Edgeworth for his earlier theoretical work.
However, some astronomers have gone so far as to claim that neither of these names are correct. For example, Brian G. Marsden – a British astronomer and the longtime director of the Minor Planet Center (MPC) at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics – claimed that "Neither Edgeworth nor Kuiper wrote about anything remotely like what we are now seeing, but Fred Whipple (the American astronomer who came up with the "dirty snowball" comet hypothesis) did".
Furthermore, David Jewitt commented that, "If anything … Fernández most nearly deserves the credit for predicting the Kuiper Belt." Because of the controversy associated with its name, the term trans-Neptunian object (TNO) is recommended for objects in the belt by several scientific groups. However, this is considered insufficient by others, since this can mean any object beyond the orbit of Neptune, and not just objects in the Kuiper Belt.
This suggests that their surfaces are composed of a wide range of compounds, from dirty ices to hydrocarbons. In 1996, Robert H. Brown et al. obtained spectroscopic data on the KBO 1993 SC, revealing its surface composition to be markedly similar to that of Pluto, as well as Neptune's moon Triton, possessing large amounts of methane ice.
Keeping Pluto company out in the Kuiper belt, are many other objects worthy of mention. Quaoar, Makemake, Haumea, Orcus and Eris are all large icy bodies in the Belt. Several of them even have moons of their own. These are all tremendously far away, and yet, very much within reach.
On January 19th, 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons space probe for the sake of studying Pluto, its moons and one or two other Kuiper Belt objects. As of January 15th, 2015, the spacecraft began its approach to the dwarf planet, and is expected to make a flyby by July 14th, 2015. When it reaches the area, astronomers are expecting several interesting photographs of the Kuiper Belt as well.
Even more exciting is the fact that surveys of other solar systems indicate that our Solar System isn't unique. Since 2006, there have been other "Kuiper Belts" (i.e. icy debris belts) discovered around nine other star systems. These appear to fall into two categories: wide belts, with radii of over 50 AU, and narrow belts (like our own Kuiper Belt) with radii of between 20 and 30 AU and relatively sharp boundaries.
According to infrared surveys, an estimated 15-20% of solar-type stars are believed to have massive Kuiper-Belt-like structures. Most of these appear to be fairly young, but two star systems – HD 139664 and HD 53143, which were observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2006 – are estimated to be 300 million years old.
Vast and unexplored, the Kuiper Belt is the source of many comets, and is believed to be the point of origin for all periodic or short-period comet (i.e. ones with an orbit lasting 200 years or less). The most famous of these is Halley's Comet, which has been active for the past 16,000–200,000 years.
We call it a belt, but it's a very wide belt. It's something like 45 degrees in extent across the sky – this big swath of material that's just been churned and churned by Neptune. And these days, instead of making a bigger and bigger body, they're just colliding and slowly grinding down into dust. If we come back in another hundred million years, there'll be no Kuiper Belt left.
Given the potential for discovery, and what up-close examination could teach us about the early history of our Solar System, many scientists and astronomers look forward to the day when we can examine the Kuiper Belt in more detail. Here's hoping that the New Horizons mission is just the beginning of future decades of research into this mysterious region!
We have many interesting articles here at Universe Today on the subject on the Outer Solar System and Trans-Neptunion Objects (TNOs).
And be sure to check out this article on the planet Eris, the latest dwarf planet and the largest TNO to be discovered.
And astronomers are expecting to discover two more large planets in our Solar System.
Universe Today also has a full-length interview with Mike Brown from Caltech.

The "passage" here is made by an older Englishwoman, Mrs. Moore, traveling to India to see her son, a British civil servant. She heads East in search of a larger view, but initially she encounters fragmentation. Hindu, Muslim, and British India are not merely different worldviews but virtually parallel worlds. Most of the English keep to themselves, but Mrs. Moore ventures out into a teeming world in which the natural is always deeply infused with the supernatural, where "to realize what God is seems more important than to do what God wants." Forster portrays her spiritual journey so authoritatively that we find ourselves, like Mrs. Moore, enlightened and overwhelmed by her new world, as she tentatively feels her way toward a comprehensive nonattachment which is finally more Hindu than British.
Spiritual Guidance can confirm information that an individual may be receiving from their own Higher Self, but because they may not be totally connected or emotionally involved, they are unable to really allow that information to be perceived or understood as a clear truth. A spiritual guide that points toward the same information can then delve deeper into the situations that may be surrounding the issues of why a person may not be able to totally trust the guidance received. Even those who would consider themselves advanced on the spiritual path, still from time to time, need a little outside confirmation from another connected being to see if their information is coming through clearly. This added confirmation from an outside source can sometimes be just the encouragement someone needs in taking that next step. Spiritual readings are more interactive and encourages the person being read to participate in the learning process. It is not a process where you should try to test your reader by giving incorrect information or trying to be vague. It should be considered counseling or therapy which involves a two-way interaction. The other difference that may be experienced between these two types of guidance is that spiritual guidance can, at times, be harsh and more direct. The goal is to help the person evolve to a higher level and sometimes the person needs to take responsibility for the situations that are currently being experienced. It can awaken dormant emotions, which can be very painful or can also release waves of anger. These emotions, if processed appropriately, can be used to initiate a healing process in an area that was once considered a block. If one is sincerely following a spiritual path, then they must take responsibility for the good and the bad that is occurring in their life. Not to mention some of the negative scenarios that they may have committed in a past lifetime.
A widely known channeler of this variety is J. Z. Knight, who claims to channel the spirit of Ramtha, a 30 thousand-year-old man. Others purport to channel spirits from "future dimensions", ascended masters,[32] or, in the case of the trance mediums of the Brahma Kumaris, God.[33] Other notable channels are Jane Roberts for Seth, Esther Hicks for Abraham,[34] and Carla L. Rueckert for Ra.[35][36]
One of my favorite sayings that I learned in England is: "Mediums are born — not made." I really want to add that I firmly believe that everyone is born with a degree of psychic ability, and each and every one of us has the capability to improve and develop our awareness (psychically, intuitively, or on a deeper level of mediumship). We all have the ability to connect, through the power of thought and our dreams, with our loved ones who have passed.. Anyone who has seen me demonstrate will also know that another one of my favorite sayings, which has become part of my own brand, is: "Your loved ones are only a thought away."
This beautiful little jewel of a novel relates the life story of a man born into a wealthy Brahmin family in India in the time of Buddha. Siddhartha leaves his family as a young man and, along with his pal Govinda, heads to the forest to join a group of wandering ascetics in search of the meaning of life. The book is divided into three parts: Siddhartha as ascetic, as sensualist, and finally as ferryman on the river. There, under the tutelage of an old, unlettered wise man, Vasudeva, Siddhartha, with his fierce honesty, tries to find his salvation. Hesse struggles to find the words to convey experiences of bliss and transcendence which go beyond where language can travel. At one point, Siddhartha meets Buddha himself and, in a beautiful scene, tells Buddha that although he knows Buddha has found the answer, Siddhartha must seek it on his own—just as Buddha did. In the extremely moving conclusion, Siddhartha realizes his original aim by reaching a state of enlightenment and compassion for all.
Open readings address the larger aspects of your life rather than a specific problem area or question. They're usually done when you're entering a new phase of life, such as getting married, graduating from college or starting a family. You can somewhat direct the reading if you have a general area you want to cover, such as your career or health, but that's as specific as the direction gets.
I am a psychic medium. People contact me for a reading for many reasons. Some may just want to experience a reading, and do not have preferences as to whether it be psychic or mediumistic. Others have specific life issues, and are looking for helpful guidance "psychically". Others will contact me for my natural ability to connect with someone who has passed, which is a mediumistic reading. Here is how I can explain to you the difference between the two types of readings:
First, you have to realize that you're thinking in terms of physical love when you ask this question. Those on the Other-Side are no longer constrained by the physical body and its needs. If someone was married more than once or had numerous loves, they can gravitate to whomever they want, or go back and join the soul group from which they came. It's my belief that we reincarnate to this physical existence with the same people we've been with in numerous lifetimes, and that could encompass some of the loves and close relationships we've had here. I don't feel that we have just one soul mate, as many people in your life could be your soul mates.
My experience and personal belief is that a spirit guide has lived at some time or another on Earth in a physical body, while an angel has never had a physical incarnation. Every medium I know has one or more guides who work with them — some are constant, and some change during the medium's life, but each has their own unique influence over the development of the medium's gifts.
The illustrations of French-suited tarot trumps depart considerably from the older Italian-suited design, abandoning the Renaissance allegorical motifs. With the exception of novelty decks, French-suited tarot cards are almost exclusively used for card games. The first generation of French-suited tarots depicted scenes of animals on the trumps and were thus called "Tiertarock" ('Tier' being German for 'animal') appeared around 1740. Around 1800, a greater variety of decks were produced, mostly with genre art or veduta. Current French-suited tarot decks come in these patterns:
The Danish medium Einer Nielsen was investigated by a committee from the Kristiania University in Norway, 1922 and discovered in a séance that his ectoplasm was fake.[130] In 1923 the Polish medium Jan Guzyk was exposed as a fraud in a series of séances in Sorbonne in Paris. Guzyk would use his elbows and legs to move objects around the room and touch the sitters. According to Max Dessoir the trick of Guzyk was to use his "foot for psychic touches and sounds".[131]
That's why it's invisible to the human eye. It's because it's vibrating at such a high frequency that we're unable to see it. Just like a dog whistle, we can't hear it due to the high pitch, yet a dog can. There's a thin layer between this world and the next (which I refer to either as "the Other-Side" or "the Spirit World"), and the only thing that separates us is the frequency of the vibrations.
In that vein, studying apologetics is a good way to learn more about the faith—as long as the focus remains on learning why the Church believes what she does, instead of bludgeoning others with the truth. Scott Hahn's Rome Sweet Home tells the conversion story of him and his wife, Kimberly, from Protestantism to Catholicism. Just on its own, it's a lesson in apologetics.
The first thing you should know before going to a medium demonstration or private reading is that psychic mediums are basically a human telephone to the spirit world—they communicate with spirits. Unfortunately, they are a telephone without a dial. A psychic medium can't just call up anyone from the spirit world with whom you want to talk. Instead, you get whoever is on the other end when the psychic medium "links" with the spirit world.
The medium Frank Decker was exposed as a fraud in 1932. A magician and séance sitter who called himself M. Taylor presented a mail bag and Decker agreed to lock himself inside it. During the séance objects were moved around the room and it was claimed spirits had released Decker from the bag. It was later discovered to have been a trick as Martin Sunshine, a magic dealer admitted that he sold Decker a trick mail bag, such as stage escapologists use, and had acted as the medium's confederate by pretending to be M. Taylor, a magician.[155] The British medium Estelle Roberts claimed to materialize an Indian spirit guide called "Red Cloud". Researcher Melvin Harris who examined some photographs of Red Cloud wrote the face was the same as Roberts and she had dressed up in a feathered war-bonnet.[156]
In 1910 at a séance in Grenoble, France the apport medium Charles Bailey produced two live birds in the séance room. Bailey was unaware that the dealer he had bought the birds from was present in the séance and he was exposed as a fraud.[111] The psychical researcher Eric Dingwall observed the medium Bert Reese in New York and claimed to have discovered his billet reading tricks.[112] The most detailed account at exposing his tricks (with diagrams) was by the magician Theodore Annemann.[113]
Do compose your emotions and appearance to hide any revealing information about yourself. Your facial expression, style of dress, personal mannerisms, and emotional outbursts can tell a psychic, especially a false one, a great deal about you to make it look like she knows all these things from a paranormal reading, when in fact, she is merely interpreting your physical appearance or reactions.

Jump up ^ LeCron, Leslie; Bordeaux, Jean (1970). Hypnotism Today. Wilshire Book Co. p. 278. ISBN 0-87980-081-X. When in a trance ... the medium seems to come under the control of another personality, purportedly the spirit of a departed soul, and a genuine medium undoubtedly believes the 'control' to be a spirit entity ... In the trance, the medium often enters a cataleptic state marked by extreme rigidity. The control then takes over, the voice may change completely ... and the supposed spirit answers the questions of the sitter, telling of things 'on the other plane' and gives messages from those who have 'passed over.'
While the tarot is the most widely known, it's just one type of deck used for divination; others include common playing cards and so-called oracle decks, a term encompassing all the other fortune-telling decks distinct from the traditional tarot. Etteilla eventually switched to using a traditional tarot deck, which he claimed held secret wisdom passed down from ancient Egypt. Etteilla's premise echoed the writings of Court de Gébelin, who allegedly recognized Egyptian symbols in tarot-card illustrations. Though hieroglyphics had not yet been deciphered (the Rosetta Stone was rediscovered in 1799), many European intellectuals in the late 18th century believed the religion and writings of ancient Egypt held major insights into human existence. By linking tarot imagery to Egyptian mysticism, they gave the cards greater credibility.
The illustration on some decks did double duty, providing divinatory tools and scientific knowledge, like the Geografia Tarocchi deck from around 1725. "The Geografia are extraordinary cards, almost like a little encyclopedia of the world with the oracle imagery peeking out at the top," Matthews says. "The actual bit that you read from is just a cigarette-card length. So for example, the hanged man just shows his legs at the top of the card, while the rest of the card has information about Africa or Asia or other places on it."
I think fiction novels from a Catholic author or with a Catholic subject have their place here. Although Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory tells the story of a whiskey priest in 1930s Mexico, the story is really about sin, grace, and redemption. G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown Mysteries feature a clever priest-sleuth and a spiritual lesson in every story. And, J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a masterful epic with Catholic symbolism at every turn. Willa Cather wrote quite a few books; among them, Shadows on the Rock and Death Comes for the Archbishop have strong Catholic influences and characters. Louis de Wohl's historical fiction novels breathe life into heroic saints.
I somehow got convinced to have a psychic reading with Adriana on Newbury St. I was walking down the road minding my own business and she pulled me aside and said something like, "You're at a crossroads and I see something about career in your future." Well, that's pretty non-specific, but I was intrigued because I've been plagued by work issues and feeling like I need to make a change.
"Trance mediumship" is often seen as a form of mental mediumship. Most trance mediums remain conscious during a communication period, wherein a spirit uses the medium's mind to communicate. The spirit or spirits using the medium's mind influences the mind with the thoughts being conveyed. The medium allows the ego to step aside for the message to be delivered. At the same time, one has awareness of the thoughts coming through and may even influence the message with one's own bias. Such a trance is not to be confused with sleepwalking, as the patterns are entirely different. Castillo (1995) states,

Nature wants to add organic matter to the soil, but the gardener won't let her. I often see gardeners down on their knees tugging out great handfuls of overgrown weed. I strongly suspect that all the vegetation with good soil attached, is on its way to the dreaded green wheelie bin. Repeated one way traffic away from the garden. It is amazing how resilient our soils are and that they grow anything at all. It's certainly good for the garden trade who sell huge amounts of soil 'improvers'.
Good gardeners of course make compost heaps and recycle the organic matter. Even then, I feel some gardeners never get round to actually using the wonderful stuff they make! The plant is a wonderful factory for creating organic matter. The leaves create sugars from carbon dioxide and water by photosynthesis. These sugars are the 'building bricks' for all plant growth.
AGAPANTHUS: This vegetation in Bolton Percy cemetery will be returned directly to the soil.
everything away, including the carbon.
In nature, huge amounts of dead vegetation finds its way into the soil. It is often overlooked how living plants improve their own biosphere as their roots release soluble organics into the ground. Plants also 'donate' organic materials to mycorrhizal fungi. As recently as 1996, long lasting glomalin, was discovered. Produced by soil fungi it has transformed our understanding of soil formation.
And what does the gardener do? We tidy away all the weeds and debris and sweep up the leaves. Worse, we constantly till the ground, disrupting root action, breaking up the mycorrhizal web and oxidising organic matter.
It's easy for me in my cemetery gardens and on the village plot. I just refuse to remove any organic matter and of course do not dig. All herbaceous tops are shredded and left on the ground. At home, I do have to be little tidier!
There are many ways to garden. None can ever be completely natural, but let us try and preserve nature's bounty.
ROSA GLAUCA Most gardeners would not want to shred the top of this Rosa glauca and leave it on the surface. Nor would Brenda!
Good points in an interesting post.
I agree. Soil is the starting point of any garden. Too many people only see the pretty and neat! They would rather buy some expensive 'soil improver' from a snake oil salesman than make a compost heap!
I am a follower from Texas. I am guessing that a 'green wheelie bin' is an English thing? Any chance of a translation?
Yes, the bin is a special one for organic waste. Some local authorities properly compost it and it can be an excellent product for the gardener, even as a component of what we call in the UK, 'potting compost'. Unfortunately, in perhaps the majority of cases, it is a wheeze to avoid landfill tax. So called compost facilities make money from the waste they take. They have to almost give away the product they make in order to get rid of the stuff.
Let me get this straight. You guys pull up weeds in your gardens, put them in a trashcan with wheels and then your local government sells them to a company that makes compost that you then put back in your gardens? You cannot be serious!
You have not got it quite straight, the local authority actually pays the company to take the waste. It is much cheaper than paying landfill tax.
Yes on a good day the compost might get back to gardeners. In most cases we do not want it.
The bin is quite big and the wheels are needed to push it to the garden gate for the 'dustman' to collect in his 'van'.
I am getting more confused. Your Government PAYS a company to make compost because it's cheaper than putting organic trash in a big hole? WHY would they bury weeds in a hole anyway? And why would they be taxed for doing it? Who gets that tax? Then there are vans going round collecting these bins of weeds? Do they give the bins back or do you buy new ones from the local government? We Yanks always knew you English were a bit eccentric!!!
I've not had such a good laugh in a long time! It's at times like this that it can be embarrassing to admit to being English!
Great post Roger. I always bore people to death about compost and soil quality!
Loved the recycling cart exchange too!
Yes,thank you again anon for your stimulating and embarrassing questions. You mention a big hole, and it made me feel I was digging myself into another one. I was going to mention that we have a large green coloured bin for general waste, a large brown one for organic waste (that is our 'green bin' is brown), and a small blue bin for plastics, paper, bottles etc. The blue one is collected least frequently, it is the one for which that we seem to have most rubbish. I then kind of lost the will to say anything more!

Sony Music released a posthumous Michael Jackson album in 2010 featuring what they claimed then as unreleased songs from the popular singer's archive.
The said album, however, received a strong backlash after MJ fans protested and said certain songs on the album was definitely not sung by the King of Pop. Jackson's family also spoke and also asserted that it is not their king singing some of the songs in the album.
One Michael Jackson's fan, Ver Serova, even took the extra mile and filed a class-action lawsuit against the album's producers in 2014 for fraud and deception.
Court documents released recently now drop the big revelation that Sony has admitted, after all, that several songs including "Breaking News", "Keep Your Head Up", and the 50 Cent collaboration "Monster" were actually performed by a sound-alike of the singing icon. The voice impersonator is named Jason Malachi.
At first, the impression from the court documents signifies that Sony is admitting the fraud but that it only believed the producers' claims that the songs were really Michael's. The recording label, however, asserted that is should not be held liable for such a fraud.
A decision on whether Sony has any culpability or not is expected within 90 days.
It's just all about the money with these evil people! Greed is definitely the root of all evil.
yes to exploit the memory of someone dead and exploit the love of his adoring fans for profit, very bad indeed. sony should pay huge!

Q: Oauth authorization server with custom authentication manager in Java config I have multiple authentication managers in the application. I distinguish them by bean name. Part of my xml configuration related to oauth authorization server looks like and it works fine:
<oauth:expression-handler id="oauthExpressionHandler" />
<oauth:web-expression-handler id="oauthWebExpressionHandler" />

<oauth:authorization-server client-details-service-ref="clientDetails" token-services-ref="tokenServices" user-approval-handler-ref="userApprovalHandler" >
    <oauth:authorization-code disabled="true" />
    <oauth:implicit disabled="false" />
    <oauth:refresh-token disabled="false" />
    <oauth:client-credentials disabled="false" />
    <oauth:password authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager" />
</oauth:authorization-server>

<oauth:resource-server id="resourceServerFilter" resource-id="resource-id" token-services-ref="tokenServices" />

<sec:authentication-manager id="clientAuthenticationManager">
    <sec:authentication-provider user-service-ref="clientDetailsUserService" />
</sec:authentication-manager>

<http pattern="/oauth/token" create-session="stateless" authentication-manager-ref="clientAuthenticationManager"
      xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security">
    <intercept-url pattern="/oauth/token" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY" />
    <anonymous enabled="false" />
    <http-basic entry-point-ref="clientAuthenticationEntryPoint" />
    <!-- include this only if you need to authenticate clients via request parameters -->
    <custom-filter ref="oauthClientCredentialsTokenEndpointFilter" before="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER" />
    <access-denied-handler ref="oauthAccessDeniedHandler" />
</http>

I'm trying to move it to Java based configuration (in some SecurityConfig class), without lack so far. I've tried something like:
@Configuration
@EnableAuthorizationServer
protected static class OAuth2AuthConfig extends AuthorizationServerConfigurerAdapter {

    @Resource(name = "authenticationManager")
    private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

    @Resource
    private OAuth2AuthenticationEntryPoint authenticationEntryPoint;

    @Resource(name = "clientDetails")
    private ClientDetailsService clientDetailsService;

    @Resource
    private TokenStore tokenStore;

    @Resource
    private TokenStoreUserApprovalHandler userApprovalHandler;

    @Override
    public void configure(AuthorizationServerSecurityConfigurer security) throws Exception {
        security.authenticationEntryPoint(authenticationEntryPoint);
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(AuthorizationServerEndpointsConfigurer endpoints) throws Exception {
        endpoints.authenticationManager(authenticationManager)
                .userApprovalHandler(userApprovalHandler)
                .tokenStore(tokenStore);
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(ClientDetailsServiceConfigurer clients) throws Exception {
        clients.withClientDetails(clientDetailsService);
    }
}

@Configuration
@EnableResourceServer
protected static class OAuth2ResourceConfig extends ResourceServerConfigurerAdapter {

    @Resource
    private DefaultTokenServices tokenServices;

    @Resource(name = "authenticationManager")
    private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

    @Override
    public void configure(ResourceServerSecurityConfigurer resources) {
        resources.resourceId(RESOURCE_ID).tokenServices(tokenServices).authenticationManager(authenticationManager);
    }
}

however it still complains about multiple authentication managers, although I explicitly set endpoints.authenticationManager(authenticationManager).
With some debugging I can see it tries to configure it within class WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter and it meets multiple authentication manager within authenticationManager(). Am I able to override it or what am I missing?

A: *

*AuthorizationServer - here there is a way to prevent Spring to fail on
org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter#authenticationManager by simply overriding method
org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.AuthorizationServerSecurityConfiguration#configure(org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder) - explanation

*ResourceServer - unfortunately there is no way for similar handling corresponding problem. Best what you can do is decreasing number of instances of global authentication managers to exactly one.

Writer and curator Hilton Als creates a mosaic that explores Didion's life and work and the feeling each generates in her admirers, detractors and critics. Arranged chronologically, the book highlights Didion's fascination with the two coasts that made her and includes 50 artists including Brice Marden and Betye Saar, with works in all mediums including painting, ephemera, photography, sculpture, video and film. Also included are three previously uncollected texts by Didion.
As a Westerner transplanted to New York, Didion was able to look at her native land, its mores and fixed rules of behaviour, with the loving and critical eyes of a daughter who got out and went back. (Didion and her late husband moved from New York to Los Angeles in 1964, where they worked as highly successful screenwriters, producing scripts for 1971's The Panic in Needle Park and 1976's A Star Is Born, among other works, before returning to New York 20 years later.)
And from her New York perch, Didion was able to observe the political scene more closely, writing trenchant pieces about Clinton, El Salvador and most searingly the Central Park Five.

Kuttrame Thandanai (2016)
Posted on March 22, 2020 by Heather Wilson
After Kaaka Muttai, M. Manikandan's second film is a crime thriller where the sole witness to a murder is a man who is gradually losing his vision. Despite some dodgy medical diagnoses, the story itself is gripping with the identity of the murderer kept hidden right until the end. With plenty of twists and a great performance from Vidharth in the lead role, Kutrame Thandanai is an interesting film that deserves a second glance.
Right from the start we learn that Ravi (Vidharth) has a problem with his eyes. He has tunnel vision (due to retinitis pigmentosa according to his ophthalmologist), but the retinal image shown does not show the condition, and the symptoms don't quite match up either. Ravi is told that he needs an eye transplant to 'cure' his problem, which is also impossible (there is no possible way to treat the retinal damage from retinitis pigmentosa), but the sum of money he needs for the operation becomes the central point of the story. The camera often shows Ravi's view to accentuate his limited vision, which works effectively to help understand his very real problems.
Ravi works as a collector for a credit card collection office, where his co-worker Anu (Pooja Devariya) appears to have a crush on him, and as a result smooths his relationship with the manager (George Maryan). As his vision is getting worse day by day, Ravi starts to try and raise the money for his operation. He starts by trying to get a loan at work, but the amount is much too large. A glass-blowing friend (Nasser) is also unable to give him the money he needs, and it seems that Ravi is doomed to eventual blindness with the added misery of no longer being able to drive and at risk of losing his job. But then a girl who lives in his block of flats is murdered. Ravi sees a young man Arun (leave her apartment in a rage, and subsequently meets an older man at the scene. But which is responsible for the murder?
As first Vijay Prakash (Rahman) and then Arun's father offers Ravi money for his silence, it seems possible that he might be able to fund his operation at last. But in his search for what he needs, Ravi has to turn his back on justice for the murdered girl, Swetha (Aishwarya Rajesh). It's a moral dilemma and writers M. Manikandan and Anand Annamalai have built the story around the question of moral ambiguity. Either of the two men could potentially be responsible for the murder, while Ravi is blackmailing them for his silence. There are also questions raised about the morality of the health service, which demands payment in full before even putting Ravi onto a waiting list for his operation. Even the other residents in the building appear to have double standards, being reluctant to speak to the police and get involved, but discussing Swetha's death among themselves. There is also the issue that Swetha was being visited by several men, with an unspoken but inferred social agreement that she had contributed to her own death. The police are the least morally corrupt in the entire story, as they continue to look for justice for Swetha, despite being hampered by uncommunicative residents of the apartment block, and a general lack of clues.
The crime is treated rather lightly, and the plot instead focuses on Ravi and the gradual change in his ethics as he becomes ever more desperate for money. Is it OK to demand money for his operation from a man who may potentially be a murder. As more details are revealed, Ravi's actions become ever more questionable as we find he know who the real murderer is, and yet continues to auction his silence to the highest bidder. His actions also cause consequences for those people that he drags into his scheme, although these are only seen from Ravi's point of view. Essentially the film shows how selfish we become when faced with a problem such as Ravi's blindness. Not only is he losing his sight, but he's also unable to see anything other than his own problems.
Although Kutrame Thandanai doesn't have the instant appeal of Kaaka Muttai and the plot is also slow to develop, it does have great characterisations. It does take a long time before the crucial murder and the blackmail story also develops later in the plot, but what I like is the moral ambiguity that threads through the entire story. The characters are inherently normal people with the usual mix of corruption and innocence, and what works well is the way that we only tend to see their reactions through Ravi's eyes. There is a good sense of Ravi's thought processes and why he decides on blackmail as the solution for his problems, even though this is possibly the worst decision he could make. Vidharth puts in a great performance that ensure we see Ravi as a typical low-income worker who is desperate to save his sight and therefore his livelihood. I really like how he stops driving when told to do so by the doctor, but then makes more questionable decisions when faced with the potential to change his fate. In real life, many patients would not do the former, at least not until they have worked through the consequences, but few would decide to follow Ravi's later decisions. Here too, Nasser works well as Ravi's sounding board and source of moral counsel, even though he doesn't really seem to understand the reality of Ravi's vision loss. The cast all provide solid support and although Aishwarya Rajesh only has brief appearances, she still makes an impression while Pooja Devariya ensures that her character is memorable for all the right reasons.
Ilaiyaraaja's background music is beautiful and soars above the grimy streets that M. Manikandan captures so well. The ambiguity of the characters is well depicted and the story raises many questions about morality and how it applies in different situations. Ravi's tunnel vision is literal, but also applies to many of the other characters in the way they view the world as well as to Ravi's own interpretation of his situation. Interesting and more complex that it first appears, Kutrame Thandanai is a worthwhile watch and highly recommended. 4 stars.

The idea of Vivek in a serious role as a cop investigating a succession of disappearances in America is intriguing, but despite some good ideas and the rather more unusual setting of Seattle, the film doesn't quite live up to the promise of the trailer. Director Vivek Elangovan and co-writer Shanmuga Bharathi have a story with potential that's let down by poor dialogue for the inexperienced American cast and a slow introduction that fails to produce the necessary tension. On the plus side, Vivek pulls off his role as a retired detective and there is enough going on to keep the film interesting, even if it lacks enough suspense until near the end.
Vivek plays the role of Rudhran, a police officer in Chennai who investigates crimes by placing himself in the mind of the killer. The opening sequence shows this clearly, if somewhat bloodily, but already there is something just a little off with the screenplay. When Rudhran explains every clue, and conveniently finds the culprit close at hand, it all seems just a little too pat and easy, while the violence of the crime seems unsuited to the perpetrator and the revelation of his reasons. Still, it's a good introduction and doesn't show Rudhran as some kind of superhero cop, but rather as someone who relies on his intelligence and his instincts to bring a killer to justice.
This seems to have been Rudhran's last case before retirement, and at the urging of his Deputy Inspector General (Gajaraj), he heads off to Seattle to visit his estranged son Ajay (Dev). Despite a friendly welcome, Rudhran still seems to have an issue with Ajay, but all is revealed when they arrive home to Alice (Paige Henderson), the white American woman Ajay has married. If his reaction to Ajay is chilly, Rudhran is positively glacial towards Alice, and practically refuses to acknowledge her existence. Later, we learn that this animosity isn't simply because Alice is white, or even as a result of her attempts to speak Tamil, but rather is due to Ajay jilting the girl he was to marry in India just a few days before the wedding. Rudhran struggles to cope with Alice, the American food and the smart fridge featuring photos of the couple, all of which I found fairly relatable to be honest.
But Rudhran also complains about Seattle being too clean and quiet for him during phone calls to friends back home, as he misses the noise and chaos of Chennai and the excitement of police investigations. Luckily, Ajay's work colleague Ramya (Pooja Devariya) live with her parents, Bharati (Charle) and Meena (Sudha Rajasekaran) who quickly establish a relationship with Rudhran.
The neighbourhood isn't as quiet as Rudhran thinks since first Ajay's next-door neighbour, and then a neighbourhood kid both vanish under mysterious circumstances. Various characters are offered up as potential suspects but the issue is confused by occasional scenes of an abusive man, his bedridden wife and traumatised daughter. When Ajay joins the ranks of the missing the case becomes more than an interesting puzzle for Rudhran and he has to overcome his fears for Ajay before he can focus his skills as a detective.
The bones of the story are good but unfortunately there is too much that is predicable, especially in the long and drawn out set-up to Ajay's disappearance. Most of the suspects are cliched characters too – there is a black drug dealer, Mona's muscled boyfriend and a shady and uncommunicative Pakistani neighbour who all fall under Rudhran's suspicions. This necessitates various plots and diversions by Bharati to allow Rudhran to investigate each suspect, but these don't all work and mostly seem forced into the story to allow Vivekh and Charle a chance to revert back to their usual comedy schtick. We never get a good feel for the characters of Ajay and Alice, while the investigating police officers are drawn in very broad strokes, seemingly only included to get in Rudhran's way and demonstrate 70's TV cop clichés at every turn.
Also problematic are the scenes featuring Ethan (Lionel Flynn) and his daughter Nicole (Gabrielle Castronover) which seem ridiculously over the top and exaggerated. Ethan is purely evil and seems to spend his time dealing in drugs and stolen children, brutalising his wife and daughter and wastefully snorting massive amounts of cocaine. The problem with this is that Ethan is such a complete monster, and so removed from the rest of the storyline, that it seems obvious that the disappearances will be linked to him. This ends up removing any real sense of urgency or tension as we know who the real bad guy is and really are just waiting to see when he will cross paths with Rudhran. As it turns out there is a nice twist, but it's spoiled by Rudhran explaining what has happened with a voice-over rather than just showing us the action. None of the American cast impress at all, with the possible exception of Gabrielle Castronover who has little dialogue but is still effective in getting her emotions across.
Despite these issues, the film is still watchable thanks to Vivek who really gets into the role, particularly when Rudhran the father has to take second place to the Rudhran the detective. He's also excellent at portraying his frustration with retirement, with the lack of purpose to his days and his discomfort at being in his son's house without having solved the problems that exist between them. His fear and frustration roil off the screen and in these moments it's easy to forget that he's mainly known for his comedic roles. There are some good scsnes too, such as when Rudhran interviews the missing people in his dreams, and interrogates his suspects – insisting that they all speak Tamil because it is his dream, and that is the language he speaks. These are cleverly done and it's a shame that the rest of the film doesn't show the same attention to detail and preciseness of dialogue that are shown here.
According to their website this was the first film from Indus Creations and it seems to be a collaboration among friends with a passion for theatre and film. As such, this is a good first dip into the murky waters of cinema and the team deserve credit for producing a watchable detective film with a difference. Tighter editing, better use of the American cast including less stilted dialogue would have made this a better film, but it's still enjoyable and it's probably the most inventive use of dandelions I've seen in an Indian film. Worth a one-time watch for Vivek and the inventive storyline. 3 stars.

Senna Hegde's Katheyondu Shuruvagagide is a leisurely stroll through three different love stories that run alongside the tale of one man's struggle to keep his hotel business going. It's 'slice-of-life' storytelling that works thanks to the rich dialogue, detailed characterisations and excellent performances from the entire cast. However, it's also reminiscent of European movies that take a slow approach to story development, so this is one more for those who prefer emotions and character-driven drama over fast action.
Tarun (Diganth Manchale) runs a small hotel somewhere on the coast of Karnataka near an absolutely stunning beach. Despite the gorgeous setting and well-appointed rooms, the hotel is struggling and at the beginning of the film Tarun is seen heading to the airport to pick up his only guests for the week – a married couple from the north of India. The opening scenes also establish Tarun's bachelor status in his ultra-cool pad with a totally awesome wall light, and introduce his relationship with his Uncle Shankar (Babu Hirannaiah) and Aunt Radha (Aruna Balaraj). The other characters in the hotel make a brief appearance here too – chef Kutty (Prakash K. Thuminadu), driver and general dogsbody Pedro (Ashwin Rao Pallakki) and hotel receptionist Swarna (Shreya Anchan).
When Tarun arrives at the airport he finds only Tanya (Pooja Devariya) who explains that she has been recently widowed but asks Tarun to keep her status secret from the other hotel staff. This is in an attempt to prevent sympathy which she feels unable to handle. And indeed she is visibly upset and struggling to cope. At various times Tanya breaks down in tears and on the first occasion Tarun responds by chivalrously handing her a box of tissues from the car. However, as the week goes on he becomes more and more intrigued by Tanya and eventually offers her a shoulder to cry on.
While Tarun takes Tanya out sight-seeing and provides her with a ready ear for her problems, Pedro is desperate to let Swarna know that he is in love with her. Swarna on the other hand is getting ready to go to Dubai where her NRI fiancé is located. The two spend time chatting online while Pedro plots how to best persuade Swarna to stay in India with him instead. He's aided by Kutty who bases his suggestions on talk-back radio, ensuring plenty of gentle comedy as the rather naïve Pedro tries to win over the much more sophisticated Swarna.
The third romance is the long-standing relationship between Shankar and Radha, and the interactions between the two suggests a love marriage that has only deepened over the years. However, Radha reveals a rather different story when chatting to Tanya, providing good contrast to the other threads and showing a different side to love. Their story is beautifully developed and both Babu Hirannaiah and Aruna Balaraj suit their roles perfectly. Their scenes are the typical day-to-day reality of an older couple and yet still allow their characters plenty of scope to flourish. The only odd note is Shankar's advice for Tarun to find a partner to help solve his monetary woes, I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a reference to dowry or just to have support through his troubles, but either way this seemed to come out of nowhere.
All the characters are excellent and the slow development suits the realistic nature of the story. Tarun's back-story of living in the US before returning to Karnataka to realise his dream seems plausible and his attempts to rescue the business rather than sell out to a developer also ring true. Diganth does a good job in the role and has good chemistry with his co-star, Pooja. Pooja is fantastic and manages to make Tanya a totally relatable character despite initially declaring that she has decided to come on her honeymoon even after being widowed. It's that 'already booked and I needed to get away' rationale that has worked for movies like Queen but it's Pooja's attitude that really makes this so believable. She varies between genuine grief and attempts to be distracted by the scenery which comes across as totally understandable given her circumstances. Even the final scenes which reveal all is not quite as it seems are entirely plausible while writer Abhijit Mahesh's dialogues are the icing on the cake that makes Tanya's character really come alive. Although Pedro and Swarna's story is mainly lighter and used as comedy, the dialogue here too is excellent and hits plenty of truths along the way.
The events of the film take place over a week, but rather than focusing on the romance between Tarun and Tanya the story follows the characters through their normal day-to-day lives – for example, conversations between Pedro and Radha as she readies the hotel room for Tanya, or between Pedro and Kutty as they prepare breakfast. Nothing happens quickly and the focus on the minutiae of each day adds authenticity to the story. Added reality comes with discussions about reviews on traveller websites and the problems Tarun has had as a result of posted complaints about the food.
The scenery is well shot to showcase just how beautiful the Indian coastline can be. The waters look pristine and the beaches sparsely populated, which made me wonder if this is the reality, and if so why I wasn't already booking a trip! There are a few odd shots taken at approximately knee level which didn't quite work as they pushed me out of the fly on the wall approach and made me lose contact with the characters. However there aren't very many of these and the rest of Sreeraj Raveendran's cinematography is stunning.
Sachin Warrier's songs are good and well pictured with an appropriate mix of sad and happy tunes and a great party song too. Thankfully these were all subtitled which is always a plus, and the rest of the film had great subtitles too. Unfortunately though I missed the name of the subtitler.
Katheyondu Shuruvagide is a sweet film that doesn't try to be anything other than a snapshot of life for a group of people in a small seaside resort. Senna Hegde has the mix of characters exactly right and the few others who appear briefly, such as Raghu Ramanakoppa as a coconut seller are smoothly integrated into the routine established by the main leads. It's good to see such a character driven film with great attention to detail and well written dialogue. Slow-paced, yes, but definitely one to savour.

a map of self-destruction and continual conflict.

Q: Removing dynamic text from a temp file in a script Ok, I know this is going to end up being basic but I cant seem to figure it out. I am trying to build a tool that will allow us to get the full AD group name for a user. The current problem we have is that the names of our AD groups are long, so a net user MrSmith /domain ends up truncating the full AD group name. I tried using a gpresult -user MrSmith /r but this doesnt return all of the AD groups for some reason.
So I decided that I would create something new that will also have other applications later on. I want to do this by first: doing a net group /domain to pull all of the AD groups in the DC. Second run a net group $ADGroup /domain for each of the ADGroups in the domain and use that output to search for the specified user ID and create a new output that displays the full name of each AD group that user ID is a part of. I am putting this in a drop down GUI for some of the future features I want to add.
Now I have got a good chunk of the first step done, but obviously I am running into an issue. When I do the net group /domain i get output looking like
The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain MyComapny.com.

Group Accounts for \\Server.MyComapny.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*AD_Group_1
*AD_Group_2
*AD_Group_3
*AD_Group_4
.....

And I add this to a temp .txt file for use.
The Issue I am having is that its not performing the net group $Choice /domain on the AD group selected from the drop down and I dont know why.
Any advice is welcome, I know I am not the best at this so my format and style may not be standard.

Chinese device maker Xiaomi is launching its first laptop computers. The Mi Notebook Air is a Windows 10 laptop with a 1080p display and an Intel Skylake processor that comes in two sizes: there's a 12.5 inch model that's priced at 3,499 yuan ($525) and a 13.3 inch version with more powerful specs that sells for 4,999 yuan ($750).
Like a lot of Xiaomi products, the Mi Notebook Air borrows a bit from Apple's playbook. It's named like a MacBook Air and it looks a lot like a MacBook. But it's far cheaper than any notebook Apple currently offers.
Xiaomi is probably best known for its smartphones. But in recent years the company has branched out into tablets, wearables, wireless routers, headphones, TVs, and even pens.
There have been rumors for years that the company had its eye on the laptop space. Now it looks like those rumors were accurate.
Xiaomi's 13.3 inch model packs some impressive specs for a $750 laptop. It measures 0.6 inches thick, weighs about 2.8 pounds, and features an Intel Core i5-6200U processor and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics. It has 8GB of RAM, 256GB of PCIe solid state storage, and a 40Wh battery that Xiaomi says is good for up to 9.5 hours of run time.
The 12.5 inch Mi Notebook Air measures 0.5 inches thick, weighs about 2.4 pounds, and features an Intel Core M3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SATA SSD. It has a USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port, and a USB Type-C port. Xiaomi says the laptop should get up to 11.5 hours of battery life.
Both laptops run Windows 10 software, feature backlit keyboards and metal bodies, and use a USB Type-C port for charging.
Xiaomi's first laptops will be available in China starting August 2nd. Xiaomi hasn't announced plans to sell them in any other markets yet, but I suspect it won't take long for resellers to start exporting them to folks willing to pay a little extra to ship the Chinese notebooks to overseas addresses. Unlike Xiaomi smartphones, which often lack full support for wireless networks in the United States, the Mi Notebook Air laptops should work just as well in the US as they do in China.
I wonder what the price will be in the UK after it's been through resellers. I'm torn between the bigger model and an XPS 15.
The XPS has one of the best touchpads I've used. Your "Mi Notebook" is yet to be reviewed.
The photos show a SSD expansion slot. I hope this means they are meant to be reparable. That would be a big plus. Please don't use glue on everything! I would love to read hands on testing and trying Linux Mint on the 12.5 inch model.
They can't make these so thin without the glue- no room for screws.
I would like to know how well these work with Linux- Not a fan of Win10.
Can I can open the case and replace the battery, for example?
U can open to replace the ssd easily, so you can also get to the battery if needed.
You can get to it, but if it is glued in it may be impossible to remove.
The mentioned it somewhere on their site to let their Mi engineers perform the upgrade.
Not sure if opening it breaks the warranty.
I would seriously consider buying one as well if Linux can be easily installed and the hardware is supported.
I also consider this as a good candidate for my next mobile Linux dev laptop. The new HP Chromebook are contenders too although the Xiaomi seems to be a much better deal.
Looks like any other laptop to me.
I would like to see how it handles heat during gaming. I have the Xiaomi MiPad 2, it has a nice Z8500 chip, but it thermal throttles really fast.
The MiPad 2 is passively cooled.
Look at the picture of the internals of this notebook, it has a fairly straight forward active cooling design (heat transfer pipe, heatsink and fans).
Cool, looks like a nice machine.
They look really nice, I would not consider a laptop without a UK keyboard tho.


Congratulations to Georgia who won the last basket draw of the 2018 season! And she single handedly hauled her score home.
We have two wonderful re-useable bag options at the market. Both contribute to reducing plastics and encourage less waste.
$4 for a new re-useable cloth bag, with all proceeds going directly to market operations. These come with custom illustrated market buttons! Super cute.
and our free 'leave a bag, take a bag program'. Donate your excess re-useable swag bags for folk that forget theirs. We can only accept clean (free of any food/pet residue for our allergen friends) bags. No single use grocery plastic bags.
Congratulations to the seasons first basket draw winner! Congratulations Sigrid. Look at this happy face holding up the basket of bounty – all donated by our vendors. There was even more goodies but she couldn't hold it all for the photo. Wow. If this doesn't give you motivation to shop and enter into Septembers draw….I don't know what will ;-).

Memorization of information by frequent repetition, namely rote learning, plays a role in many education systems. To what extent do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
There are different methods of learning. Two such methods are 'rote learning' and 'meaningful learning'. Both have their own pros and cons.
There are many advantages of rote learning. To begin with, it is very helpful where quick memorization is required, such as learning one line in a play or memorizing a telephone number. It is also needed where verbatim recall of definitions or numbers is required. We all know that we need to remember phone numbers, mathematical formulae and definitions as such. If we don't cram them then we will not be able to reproduce them when needed and if any small part is changed then the whole thing goes wrong. Rote learning is the only way to learn certain things like irregular verbs and the vocabulary of a foreign language. There is no logic behind irregular verbs and so we need to memorize them by heart. Finally, rote learning is used by many students to pass exams.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of rote learning. Firstly, the knowledge acquired by rote is not retained for long. If a person does not repeat information learnt by rote for few days then the whole thing can be forgotten. Moreover, information learned by rote cannot be applied in a wide variety of new problems or concepts. For example, if we learn something by rote in math then we cannot apply it in other subjects like physics. In meaningful learning the transferability of knowledge is high. Finally, it can be very boring to learn everything by rote.
Definitely, rote learning should not be the only method of learning. Meaningful learning is a must if we want to progress in life and apply our skills in varied fields. However, rote learning has its own importance in some situations. So, the education systems should incorporate both rote and meaningful learning.
In conclusion, I believe that, rather than viewing rote learning as something opposed to understanding, it can be viewed in a complementary role. As the left hand is to the right, so is memory to understanding and reason.


During the week of September 13th, TSA discovered 70 firearms in carry-on bags around the nation. Of the 70 firearms discovered, 57 were loaded and 16 had a round chambered. Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality. Travelers bringing firearms to the checkpoint can be arrested and fined up to $11,000. Travelers should familiarize themselves with state and local firearm laws for each point of travel prior to departure.

Last weekend I was in the mood for something different for breakfast and so came the turkey bacon cups. These are perfect for a relaxed Sunday breakfast in bed served with spinach, orange juice and fruit . Not only are they tasty, they are fun, easy and quick to make too.
-While bacon is cooking whisk together eggs, chives, cheese and onions in a bowl. Remove bacon from heat after it is partially cooked after 3 minutes.
– Bread should look like this after cutting.
– Grease muffin pan with butter then sprinkle one side of the bread with olive oil . Press bread into muffin pan with oiled side down.
– Place bacon into bread cups followed by egg mixture.
– Remove from muffin pan and serve warm . I served mine with sauteed spinach and fresh tomatoes.
– whisk together eggs, chives and green onions in a bowl.
– press bread olive side down into muffin pan followed by bacon then carefully pour the egg mixture in.
– bake in the oven for about 12 minutes or until eggs are set.

Q: What is the sum of this? What is the sum of this
$$ \{n,n-1,...,3,2,1\}, ...... \{5,4,3,2,1\}, \{4,3,2,1\}, \{3,2,1\},
\{2,1\}, \{1\} $$
I am learning Data Structures and Algorithms now, I want to calculate the time-complexity of a nested loop. I suspect there is term and formula for this pattern.
    static int count = 0;

    //time complexity of this nested loop
    public static void run(int n) {
        for (int i = 1; i * i < n; i++) {
            for (int j = i; j * j < n; j++) {
                for (int k = j; k * k < n; k++) {
                    System.out.println(++count);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public static void cal(int n) {
        int total = 0;
        int temp = (int) Math.pow(n, 0.5);
        for (int i = temp; i > 0; i--) {
            total += i * (i + 1) / 2;
        }
        System.out.println(total);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        run(12345);
        cal(12345);
    }

A: Each of the sums separately is $\sum_{j=1}^k j = \frac{1}{2}k^2 + \frac{1}{2}k$.
In addition, $\sum_{k=1}^n k^2 = \frac{1}{3}n^3 + \frac{1}{2}n^2 + \frac{1}{6}n$,
both of which can be proved by induction.
The total sum is then $$\sum_{k=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^k j = \sum_{k=1}^n (\frac{1}{2}k^2 + \frac{1}{2}k) = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}^n k^2 + \frac{1}{2} \sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{1}{6} n^3 + \frac{1}{2} n^2 + \frac{1}{3} n = \frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{6}$$


For the spiders to crawl from page to page, website to website, they must follow links – just like a human does when clicking with a mouse to navigate.
But what if a site is new and there are no links pointing to it… or too few links… or there are particular pages on the website that don't have links to them? How will Google find this poor website or these poor pages so they can be indexed? This presents a problem… or at least a minor hurdle.
Fortunately, there is a way to quickly and freely help Google help you – build and submit an XML sitemap. This is a very simple file that lists all of the pages on a website that the owner or webmaster would like Google to know about. The XML sitemap gives structure to the site, tells Google which pages are most important, and when they were published or last updated.
The sitemap delivers a website to Google on a convenient silver platter. This helps ensure that the site and its various pages are found and indexed quickly and fully. Perfect.
So how do you make one and submit it to Google? That'll be for another post.
